SECTION ONE
TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION GOALS, POLICIES AND
OBJECTIVES
210
Traffic Signal Synchronization Goals, Policies and Objective The City of San Clemente aligns with the Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program goals, which promote a collaborative, corridor-based approach that improves the performance of traffic signals based on existing traffic patterns. The City supports the local agency's responsibility for control of signal timing and working with neighboring agencies to develop adequate signal synchronization timing.
Signal Synchronization is an economical way to decrease overall stops, travel delays, and traffic-related congestion across city boundaries. This Local Signal Synchronization Plan (LSSP) defines specific goals, routes, and equipment required to ensure network operability with maximum traffic management efficiency. Goals for the City of San Clemente’s signal synchronization include:
x Create a balanced transportation network that provides mobility and access for all modes of travel, including motor vehicles, transit, bicyclists, pedestrians, and rail traffic.
x Provide an efficient and effective transportation circulation system. x Work cooperatively with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), Caltrans, and neighboring agencies to synchronize traffic signals throughout Orange County on a corridor basis to improve travel time and reduce stops. x Continue to coordinate with neighboring agencies in the development of multiagency synchronization timing and compatible traffic signal timing technical parameters.
x Maintain local control responsibility for signals within the City’s jurisdiction and control.
x Improve traffic flow in San Clemente by developing and implementing optimized traffic signal synchronization.
x Optimize signal timing to provide drivers better travel experience through reduced travel times, reduced stops, and reduced delays. x The strategies for signal synchronization will facilitate consistent operating speeds along the key corridors and provide a good level of public perception. x Participate in Project P Traffic Forums.
x Review and revise signal timing, when necessary, along traffic signal synchronization routes.
x Provide ongoing maintenance and operation through a) monitoring and improving optimized signal timing and b) communications and detection support. x Identify future signal corridor improvements by recommending system and equipment enhancements to improve traffic flow and signal synchronization. x Lead additional signal timing synchronization projects through Project P for planned (candidate) corridors.
x Complete upcoming signal synchronization projects and develop final reports for the signal synchronization projects within six months of completion to include findings and an assessment of the performance of synchronization activities. 211
The City of San Clemente has collaborated with OCTA, Caltrans, and Dana Point to optimize the signal timing synchronization for two primary corridors (Avenida Pico and El Camino Real/Pacific Coast Highway) and three local corridors (Avenida Vista Hermosa, Camino De Los Mares/Camino De Estrella, and Camino Vera Cruz) as part of Project P and the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan. These projects involved replacing the existing traffic signal controllers with Intelight X3 Type ATC controllers that the City can remotely monitor and manage using MaxView software at the Engineering Building and the Public Works Maintenance Facility. The projects also developed synchronized timing plans for multiple peak periods based on the current traffic patterns and road configurations. The projects considered the impact of crossstreet traffic and special traffic generators such as schools and businesses. These projects aimed to provide state-of-practice intersection control and communication along the signal synchronization corridors.
The projects under consideration (including candidate Project P) seek the efficiency of traffic flow and the enhancement of the signal system security. The Traffic Management Software and Server Upgrades project includes upgrading the traffic management software with Kinetic Signals and replacing the server with the latest technology. The Avenida Palizada and El Camino Real project intents to improve the traffic flow and reduce delays by coordinating the traffic signal along the roadway segments. The Avenida Talega, Avenida Saluda, and Avenida La Pata projects involve updating the detection system using radar or thermal technology and switching the signal interconnection from copper to fiber.

Subject:
ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2023-24 Summary:
The California Constitution limits the amount an individual city can budget (appropriate) from tax revenue proceeds each year. This limit, called an “appropriations limit”, is calculated by each City annually and must be established via a formal resolution of the City’s governing body. For FY 2023- 24 the City of San Clemente’s calculated appropriations limit is $113,657,914. The amount the City is budgeting from proceeds of taxes for FY 2023-24 is well below that limit.
Background:
Article XIII B of the California Constitution specifies that cities annually establish an appropriations limit by formal resolution of the City’s governing body. Article XIII B further specifies this limit may increase annually by a factor comprised of the changes in population for the City or the County (whichever is higher), combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to nonresidential construction. The State Department of Finance transmits an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments annually, per California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2227. This information is used to establish the FY 2023-24 appropriations limit.
The calculation of San Clemente’s appropriation limit for FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit is presented on the Exhibits attached to this report. For the FY 2023-24 calculation, the annual adjustment factor is based on population change for the City of San Clemente and the change in California per capita income. Using these in the calculation results in an overall increase in the appropriations limit of $4,493,466 for a total of $113,657,914. The budgeted proceeds of taxes total $61,698,135, which represents 54% of the amount the City is entitled to appropriate for FY 2023-24.
Council Options:
· Adoption Resolution No. 23-40 approving the Appropriations Limit. · Continue the item with direction to staff to provide additional information. · Deny Resolution No. 23-40 and the Appropriations Limit.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

ADOPT RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2023-2024 STREET REHABILITATION PROJECTS PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 1 (SB1) THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017
Summary:
The proposed resolution designates the following projects to receive SB1 gas tax funds:
· Traffic Signal Cabinet and Pedestals Replacement
· As-Needed Sidewalk Improvements FY 2023
· Signalized Intersection Improvements
· Sidewalk Improvements -Avenida San Luis Rey, Avenida Santa Margarita, and East Avenida Magdalena
This resolution is required by SB1 funding requirements.
Background:
In April 2017 the Governor signed SB 1 titled “The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017” which provides funding to cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system. SB 1 increases per gallon fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes and vehicle registration taxes, and provides inflationary adjustments to fuel tax rates in future years. Collected tax revenue is deposited into a new Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), and some of this new RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties. It is estimated that San Clemente will receive approximately $1,585,754 in RMRA funding in FY 2024. This revenue estimate has been incorporated into the proposed FY 2024 budget.
Discussion:
SB1 includes increased transparency and reporting requirements, including a requirement that projects proposed for SB1 funding must be designated by resolution. The proposed FY2024 CIP includes RMRA funding for the proposed projects listed in the resolution. Projects that have not been completed from previous years are required to be included in the FY2024 resolution. Projects will improve traffic signals, traffic signal controller cabinets and pedestals, and address public safety by creating accessible pedestrian routes in highly traveled area where sidewalk does not exist. The attached resolution is required by the State to formally designate SB1 gas tax funds to the project.

ACCEPTANCE AND NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS FOR AVENIDA CABRILLO (CDBG), PROJECT NO. 10317
Summary:
LC Paving and Sealing, Inc. has completed the construction contract within budget. The Resolution before City Council will accept the project and allow staff to record the notice of completion.
Background:
On February 15, 2022, the City Council awarded a construction contract to LC Paving and Sealing, Inc. for sidewalk improvements on the 100 and 200 blocks of Avenida Cabrillo as shown in the location map on Attachment 2. The work consisted of replacing sidewalk, curb and gutter, ADA ramps and driveways on the south side of Avenida Cabrillo. The retaining wall adjacent to the City Community Center parking lot was also replaced along with new landscaping and irrigation system.
The construction cost summary is as follows:
Construction Management and Inspection $24,547
Construction $702,050
Total Construction Cost $726,597
Council Options:
· Adopt Resolution No. 23-43.
· Modify and adopt Resolution No. 23-43.
· Continue the item with direction to provide additional information.
Fiscal Impact:
The total project (construction, management and inspections) was completed at a cost of $726,597.
The construction portion of the project cost $702,050, which was approximately $20,800 more than the original not to exceed contract amount of $681,231.88. The reasons for the overage were due to unforeseen conditions encountered during construction which required the removal of an old buried concrete slab and replacement of an aged irrigation system. These change orders were outside the original scope of work and could not have been predicted at the time of the original award.

As a result, an ADA compliant sidewalk will be installed along the 100 and 200 Block of Avenida Cabrillo, from Calle Seville to west of N. El Camino Real where feasible. Some existing driveways, curb and gutter, and areas of sidewalk will be removed and replaced to create a uniformly ADA compliant walkway.

The lowest responsive bidder was LC Paving and Sealing of Escondido, CA, with a total bid amount of $681,231 .88.

ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 23-30, APPROVING A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ABOUND
FOOD CARE FOR EMERGENCY MEAL STORAGE
Summary:
At its Regular meeting of May 16, 2023, Council requested staff provide additional information regarding the Abound Food Care Emergency Meal Storage Program, concerning where expiring food is donated, County oversight of the program and overall program protocol. This information has now been provided to Council for consideration.
City Council approval of the resolution would approve a five-year license agreement with Abound Food Care to install, maintain and operate one solar powered cold storage unit with solar panels in a material storage yard at the City’s Water Reclamation Plant at 380 Avenida Pico. The unit will store ready-to-eat meals for the purpose of providing meals to community members in times of disaster.
The unit will be placed on a concrete pad and will be self-contained with no need for any utilities.
Location of this emergency food storage unit was previously approved by the City Council at the November 1, 2022 Council meeting.
Background:
Founded in 2012, Abound Food Care’s mission is to provide solutions and facilitate collaboration with public, private, and non-profit sectors to guide and support the implementation of regional food care programs that optimize the supply chain to end hunger and food waste. Their Emergency Food Management Program enables local jurisdictions, state and federal agencies, emergency services, and community organizations to provide ready-to-eat, nutritious meals following an emergency and ensuring that citizens have access to food. The meals are intended for emergency use only. As expiration dates approach, the meals will be rotated out for disbursement to local non-profits. The first priority will be to work with San Clemente non-profits, but Abound Food Care will also work with surrounding city agencies for distribution to residents in need. Serving San Clemente residents in need will be the first priority.
As discussed in the November 1, 2022 agenda report, this project is within the Coastal Zone and would require Abound Food Care to apply for, and receive, approval from the California Coastal Commission. The activities permitted under the License Agreement are not allowed to occur until a Costal Development Permit or waiver is obtained.
Council Options:
· Adopt Resolution No. 23-30, approving the License Agreement with Abound Food Care.

Fiscal Impact:
None.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
This project was previously determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, 14 CCR Section 15303) under the State CEQA Guidelines at detailed in the November 1, 2022 agenda report.
Recommended Actions:
Staff Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 23-30, which would authorize the City Manager to sign the License Agreement between Abound Food Care and the City of San Clemente allowing the use of space in a material storage yard at the City’s Water Reclamation Plant at 380 Avenida Pico to place and operate one solar powered cold storage unit with solar panels.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER SITE AT 380
AVENIDA PICO (THE CITY'S WATER RECLAMATION PLANT PROPERTY) AS A POTENTIAL
LOCATION FOR AN EMERGENCY FOOD STORAGE UNIT
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Summary:
On June 28, 2022, the Public Safety Committee (PSC) approved forwarding a recommendation to the City Council to consider providing space at the City's Water Reclamation Plant located at 380 Avenida Pico for a food storage unit.
Background:
This item was presented at the City Council meeting of September 6, 2022. At that meeting, the Council directed staff to bring this item back for Council consideration after Councilmembers, either individually or in pairs, had an opportunity to meet with representatives of Abound Food Care (AFC).
Council members who were interested met recently with AFC to learn more about the operations of their organization and the food storage-unit program. As result, this item is being brought back for the Council's consideration.
As part of the PSC's 2021-2022 Annual Work Plan, the PSC received a special presentation by AFC related to disaster preparedness and planning, specifically methods to make food available for distribution during an emergency. The food-storage units are typically manufactured from shipping containers, measuring 20 ft. by 8 ft. by 8.5 ft.
Discussion:
AFC has worked with other local government agencies and organizations in Orange County to place emergency, food-storage units around the County. The meals inside would be available for distribution to the community in case of a natural disaster or other serious emergency. If no emergency occurs, the meals are distributed to local nonprofits at regular intervals, then new meals are prepared for storage in the unit.
AFC staff indicated to the PSC that they are looking for a location in San Clemente for placement of a food-storage unit. Attachment 1 provides a location map of the proposed area. AFC has grant funding to cover expenses related to the preparation of the food and provision of the food-storage unit, no costs of this program are required to be paid by the City. This consideration relates only to the approval of a location on City property for the potential placement of a food-storage unit at a date CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 3 Printed on 10/27/2022

Meeting Date: 11/1/2022 Agenda Item: 4F
in the future which is currently unknown.
Should Council accept the PSC's recommendation to allow the use of the City's Water Reclamation Plant property for the purpose of an emergency, food-storage unit, future applicants, such as AFC, would be required to submit a request to the City for the use of said property. This request may require a lease agreement with the City to ensure the long-term maintenance of the unit and the City's property. In addition, due to its location in the Coastal Zone, prior to the placement of a foodstorage unit within the proposed area, applicants would be required to apply for, and receive, approval of the project from the California Coastal Commission.
Plan and Policy Consistency:
The Centennial General Plan's Safety Element includes the Goal to, "[continue] to be a safe, disaster -resilient community that is prepared through effective community outreach, proactive monitoring, and efficient emergency services, response, recovery and mitigation." This goal is achieved through implementation of Policy S-7.04, Interdepartmental and lnteragency Collaboration, which states, "We collaborate among City departments and with organizations outside of the City for a comprehensive approach to emergency services and disaster preparedness, response and recovery, including continuity of operations (e.g. information technology and financial services)." Environmental Review (CEQA):
The Community Development Department completed an environmental assessment for the proposed project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff recommends the City Council hereby finds and determines that the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3: New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), 15304 (Class 4: Minor Alterations to Land), and Section 15311 (Class 11:
Accessory Structures).
The Class 3 exemption specifically exempts from further CEQA review, the construction and location of limited numbers. of new, small facilities or structures, such as accessory and appurtenant structures. The Class 4 exemption specifically exempts minor alterations in the condition of land, water, and/or vegetation that do not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees. The Class 11 exemption specifically exempts the construction or replacement of minor structures accessory or appurtenant to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, such as mobile food units.
Here, the project involves the placement of a non-permanent, food-storage unit, potentially involving minimal grading to create a level pad, accessory to the existing use of the proposed property location.
Furthermore, none of the exceptions to the use of the Class 3, 4 and 11 categorical exemptions identified in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply. The project will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time. There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the project that result in a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment. There are no sensitive resources, such as endangered species, on the project site or in the vicinity. The project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources.

ADOPTION OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 BUDGET
Summary:
The City of San Clemente operates financially on a fiscal year budget. The budget takes effect on July 1 of each year and provides financial allocations through June 30 of the following year. The municipal budget includes several funds, or sections, with the primary operating budget being the City’s General Fund. The budget is prepared with input from residents, elected officials, and staff. The City Council approves the budget, and any amendment to the budget, by a majority vote.
Background:
On May 23, 2023, the City held a budget workshop for the proposed FY 2023-24 operating and capital improvement budgets. At the public budget workshop, staff presented the summarized budget and covered decision packages included in the budget. Staff identified the Strategic Priorities, and presented a financial overview related to the budget identifying Department Highlights, CIP Program and Decision Packages. Various public input was received in conjunction with the presentation.
At the conclusion of the Budget presentation which covered all City funds including the department activities and budgets, the City Council was able to provide input and receive public comments. The City Council discussions focused on a variety of topics and at the conclusion of the deliberations the City Council approved all budgeted Decision Packages. These included items such as the new Coastal Administrator position, UAL Pension funding payment, and various other packages in the General Fund. In the other, or non-General Fund budgets, the decision packages included pay station replacement, data storage upgrades and other one-time costs.
Additionally, the City Council incorporated the action taken on May 16, 2023 into the budget authorizing the use of unassigned Fund Balance to fund the one-time cost for 4 additional OCSD deputies under the police contract, to improve public safety and address enforcement in geographic areas. The total deputy cost of $1.4 million is included in the budget, with the net cost of $1.2 million included in the General Fund. These one-time amounts are included in the budget with the OCSD contract and will be agendized for the June 20, 2023 meeting.
The FY 2023-24 budget is summarized as follows:
All Funds Budget:
For FY 2023-24 resources for all funds, including fund balances, total $282.7 million. Excluding fund balances, revenues for all funds total $173,188,830 and expenditures total $190,654,030.

Subject:
UPDATE ON THE PLAN TO MOVE TEMPORARY PICKLEBALL COURTS FROM SAN GORGONIO PARK TO RICHARD T. STEED MEMORIAL PARK AND APPROVAL OF A
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH KOMPAN, INC
Summary:
Pursuant to Council direction, staff is providing an update on moving the temporary pickleball court facility at San Gorgonio Park as quickly as possible to Richard T. Steed Memorial Park. Staff has secured a vendor, Kompan, Inc., to build the temporary facility with eight courts. The estimated cost is $1,215,817.04, which is within the $3 million budget for the project authorized by Council, and includes the concrete surfacing, court lines, fencing, nets/posts, and benches. Staff anticipates that most of this project can be reused/relocated when the permanent facility is built.
Background:
At its May 16, 2023 meeting, the City Council approved the installation of eight temporary courts at Richards T. Steed Memorial Park as soon as possible on the undeveloped lot adjacent to the skate court facility. At that meeting, staff committed to bringing back an update on securing the contract to build the temporary courts at its next regular meeting.
Staff utilized the State contract system to procure a vendor to supply the materials and perform the construction of the temporary court project. This methodology expedites the construction timeline by eliminating the requirement to go through a City-led formal bidding process. As a check, staff solicited informal bids from other vendors to ensure that the pricing was still competitive. The vendor estimates that, upon approval, the project should be completed within five months. As soon as these courts are completed, the ones at San Gorgonio Park will be closed. This is the fastest timeline that staff could obtain.
Council Options:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 23-47, awarding a construction contract to build eight temporary pickleball courts at Steed Park to Kompan, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $1,215,817.04, plus a 10% contingency; authorizing the City Manager to execute such a contract in a form approved by the City Attorney; and authorizing and directing staff to close the pickleball courts at San Gorgonio Park as soon as construction of the temporary facility at Steed Park is completed.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 23-47 with modifications.
3. Continue the item and provide staff with alternate direction on the temporary courts, including CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 2 Printed on 6/2/2023

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
City Council Meeting
910 Calle Negocio
2nd Floor
San Clemente, California
www.san-clemente.org
Meeting Date: 6/6/2023 Agenda Item: 10A
Department: Public Works
Prepared By Zak Ponsen, Assistant City Engineer
Ryan Kim, Senior Civil Engineer - Traffic
Subject:
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 23-45, APPROVING THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP)
Fiscal Impact:
None at this time.
Summary:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that City Council approve the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP).
Background:
A Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) provides a framework to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads. Its content focuses on local issues and needs resulting in a prioritized list of concerns, risks, actions, and improvements to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on local roads.
The City Council authorized staff to submit a grant application to Caltrans for the LRSP development in February 2020. After the City received the grant, the City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn and Associates to prepare the LRSP in April 2021.
The LRSP, provided as Attachment 1, presents the Introduction, Vision and Goals, Process, Safety Partners, Existing Efforts, Data Summary, Collision Analysis Results, Emphasis Areas, Opportunities, and Evaluation and Implementation of the plan. The vision is to enhance the transportation network to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Under this vision, this report provides four (4) goals:
Goal 1: identify areas with a high risk for collision;
Goal 2: illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and systemic process; Goal 3: plan future safety improvements; and
Goal 4: define safety projects for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and other program funding considerations.
Discussion:
The LRSP identifies engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that can be implemented throughout the City’s transportation network. Furthermore, the report identifies areas with a high risk for collisions, illustrates the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process to identify high-risk locations for collisions, prepares future safety improvements for short and long-term implementation, and defines safety projects for HSIP and other program funding considerations.

implementation, and defines safety projects for HSIP and other program funding considerations.
Preparing and approving a LRSP would position the City for future HSIP grant eligibility.
The report includes several specific intersections/areas of concern and provides some preliminary recommendations for future projects to consider. It is important to note that by processing and approving the LRSP, the City Council is not approving any specific projects, obligating any future funding, or acknowledging safety issues in any particular street segment. The LRSP as a tool is beneficial in framing future traffic engineering evaluations. The LRSP helps identify high collision areas, assign a systemic process for future improvements for near-, mid-, and long- term, and defines potential projects for future HSIP funding consideration. Future modifications to street areas will be done based on a wide range of factors, additional studies, and engineering analyses.
During the Planning Commission hearing on May 17, 2023, there was discussion regarding the LRSP and the City’s ability to seek additional grants to support future road improvement projects.
Discussion included the City’s need for a strategic investment in grants.
If the City Council supports the LRSP and implementation by the City’s Engineering Division, staff will forward the City Council’s action and the LRSP to Caltrans to complete the grant project.
Council Options:
· Adopt Resolution No. 23-45, approving the Local Roadway Safety Program and adoption as a tool to be used to address local roadway safety issues and needs, and future grant funding opportunities.
· Continue the Item and direct staff to provide additional information. · Deny Resolution No. 23-45 and deny the approval of the Local Roadway Safety Program.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend that the City Council determine this action to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 6 (Information Collection, 14 CCR section 15306) and Class 1 (Existing Facilities, 14 CCR section 15301.k) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Recommended Actions:
Planning Commission and Staff recommend that the City Council approve the following actions:
Adopt Resolution No. 23-45, which would:

Executive Summary
San Clemente has created this local roadway safety plan (LRSP), which incorporates a framework to identify, analyze, and develop traffic safety enhancements on the City’s roadway network. The LRSP was developed to address local roadway safety issues and needs. Through the analysis, this report has identified emphasis areas to prioritize for improvement and to inform and further guide safety evaluation and planning for the City’s transportation network.
The emphasis areas are Impaired Driving, Vulnerable Road Users (Bicyclists and Pedestrians), and Aggressive Driving. The LRSP analyzed collision data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and city-wide trends and patters. The analysis of collision history on the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to: 1) identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users, 2) improve safety at specific high-collision locations, and 3) develop safety measures using the 5E’s of transportation safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies, to encourage safer driver behavior and better severity outcomes.
Previous work conducted by the City of San Clemente has been successful at reducing the number of traffic injuries throughout the City, and this LRSP is the next step in taking those initiatives further. This is demonstrated in its California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) rankings which identify the City as belonging to the top 40% percentile for safety compared to peer cities in its category. This LRSP analyzes the most recent six-year period of collision data (January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019) and recent roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of concern. Because of the unusual traffic conditions in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 data was reviewed only at a qualitative level.
As part of the LRSP development process, the City drafted a vision for traffic safety and outlined the goals that will help mark plan success. The vision is to enhance the transportation network to continually reduce the number of traffic fatalities and serious injury related collisions. The goals were identified as:
x Identify areas with a high risk for collisions.
x Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process. x Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term implementation. x Define safety projects for HSIP and other program funding consideration.
San Clemente’s collision history was analyzed to identify locations with elevated risk of collisions either through their collision histories or their similarities to other locations that have more active collision patterns. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. Using historic collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network were derived. The outcomes informed the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active transportation users. The figures below show the results of collision analysis, including the number of crashes that occurred at each intersection and along each roadway segment in the City.

Emphasis areas were developed through coordination with stakeholders, alignment with statewide safety priorities, and evaluation of the types of crashes most common in the City. The emphasis areas that were selected for priority enhancements were:
1. Impaired Driving
2. Vulnerable Road Users (Bicyclists and Pedestrians)
3. Aggressive Driving
The LRSP identified countermeasures for both infrastructure and non- infrastructure improvements. The report then applies Crash Modification Factors (CMFs), which are used to estimate the safety effects of safety improvements to compare and prioritize the improvements. This provides a planning level cost/benefit estimate that the City can use to prioritize improvements.
Site-specific opportunities for improvement were identified for the following 8 case study locations. The case study locations were chosen to be representative of the corridor and intersection designs throughout the City.
1. Segment: Calle del Cerro: Avenida Pico to Avenida Vista Montana (W)
2. Segment: Avenida Pico: I-5 Freeway to San Clemente High School
3. Intersection: I-5 Freeway & Avenida Pico
4. Intersection: El Camino Real & Calle Valle
5. Intersection: Avenida Palizada & El Camino Real
6. Segment: Ave del Mar: El Camino Real & Ola Vista
7. Segment: El Camino Real: Escalones to Avenida Barcelona (Downtown San Clemente)
8. Intersection: El Camino Real & Esplanade
The report also identifies opportunities that can be implemented systemically throughout the City. These opportunities were assembled into the “countermeasure toolbox” shown below, and include both engineering-based and non-engineering countermeasures.
Additionally, this information can be used to help the City apply for grants and other funding opportunities to implement these safety improvements. These measures can be applied where appropriate as part of ongoing City activities to improve overall safety performance.

1 1 Introduction
San Clemente is a lively coastal community in Southern Orange County known for its beaches, vibrant downtown, and rich history. San Clemente has a population of around 64,558 residents with a median age of 44 years old. With an economy based on tourism, retail, and light manufacturing, the City has varied transportation needs.
This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies emphasis areas to focus and guide further safety enhancement to the City’s transportation network. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and city-wide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network provided the opportunity to: 1) identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users, 2) improve safety at specific high-crash locations, and 3) develop safety measures using the five E’s of safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies to encourage safer driver behavior and reduced collision severities.
The process and analysis performed for the City’s LRSP is described in this document. The plan includes a vision and associated goals for safety, crash history analysis, and specific emphasis areas that represent the most challenge for safety in the City. The plan provides a foundation for decision making and prioritization for safety countermeasures and projects that enhance safety for all modes.
San Clemente has been successful at taking steps to enhance safety for all modes throughout the City. This is supported by their California Office of Traffic Safety rankings identifying it amongst the top 40% tier for safety as compared to peer cities in most categories. This LRSP continues these safety efforts through this plan by identifying areas of emphasis and opportunities for system improvement that can be implemented to enhance safety. This LRSP analyzes the most recent 5-year period of available crash data (January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2019) and roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of elevated collision activity.
The intent of the LRSP is to:
x Create a greater awareness of road safety and risks
x Reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury crashes
x Develop lasting partnerships
x Support for grant/funding applications, and
x Help prioritize investments in traffic safety.
14 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
2 2 Vision and Goals
The San Clemente LRSP evaluates the transportation network as well as non-infrastructure programs and policies within the City. Mitigation measures are evaluated using criteria to analyze the safety of road users (drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians), the interaction of modes, influences on the roadway network from adjacent municipalities, and the potential benefits of safety countermeasures. This effort is intended to use historical data to identify trends and develop a toolbox of countermeasures applicable to conditions in the City that can be used for proactive identification and implementation of opportunities, without relying solely on a reaction and response to crashes as they occur.
LRSPs have been effective across the country as part of the effort to reduce fatal and severeinjury crashes because they provide a locally developed and customized roadmap to directly address the most common safety challenges in the given jurisdiction. Consistent with these findings, the following Vision, Goals, and Objectives have been established for this project.
VISION: To enhance the transportation network to achieve zero traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes.
Goal #1: Identify areas with a high risk for collision.
Objectives:
x Identify intersections and segments that would most benefit from mitigation. x Identify areas of interest with respect to safety concerns for vulnerable users (pedestrians and bicyclists).
Goal #2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process.
Objectives:
x Demonstrate the systemic process’ ability to identify locations with higher risk for collisions based on present characteristics closely associated with severe collisions. x Demonstrate, through the systemic process, the gaps and data collection activities that can be improved upon.
Goal #3: Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term.
Objectives:
x Identify safety countermeasures for specific locations (case studies). x Identify safety countermeasures that can be applied county-wide.
Goal #4: Define safety projects for future HSIP and other program funding consideration.
Objectives:
x Create the outline for a prioritization process that can be used in this and forth-coming cycles to apply for funding.
x Use the systemic process to create Project Case Studies. x Use Case Studies to apply for HSIP funding consideration. 15 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
3 3 Process
The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within San Clemente at a systemic level. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements will be identified. Using historic collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network are derived. The outcomes will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active transportation users.

The outcomes will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active transportation users.
3.1 Existing Guidance
This process uses the latest National and State best practices for statistical roadway analysis described as follows.
3.1.1 Local Roads Safety Manual
The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.5, April 2020) purpose is to encourage local agencies to pursue a proactive approach to identifying and analyzing safety issues, while preparing to compete for project funding opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network through either a one-time, network wide analysis, or by routine analyses of the roadway network.3 According to the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM), “The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local Assistance is responsible for administering California’s federal safety funding intended for local safety improvements.” To provide the most benefit and to be competitive for funding, the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on both intersections and roadway segments and be considerate of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should be a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from cost-effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The manual suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations that considers both crash frequency and crash rates. These findings should then be screened for patterns such as crash types and severity to aid in the determination of issues causing higher numbers of crashes and the potential countermeasures that could be most effective. Qualitative analysis should include field visits and a review of existing roadway characteristics and devices. The specific roadway context can then be used to assess what conditions may increase safety risk at the site and systematic level.
3 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.5) 2020. Page 5. 16 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
4 Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs).
These factors are the peer reviewed product of before and after research that quantifies the expected rate of collision reduction that can be expected from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on how to apply CMFs appropriately.
3.1.2 Highway Safety Manual
“The AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations.”4 This four-part
manual is divided into Parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, D) Crash Modification Factors.
Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the Network Screening process. The Network Screening Process is a tool for an agency to analyze their entire network and identify/rank locations that (based on the implementation of a countermeasure) are most likely to least likely to realize a reduction in the frequency of collisions.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process:5
1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening analysis. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.
2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e., segments, intersections, geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available.
4. Select Screening Method: There are three principle screening methods described in this chapter (i.e., ranking, sliding window, peak searching). Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.
5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall collision histories. In addition to identifying the total number of collisions, this study uses a method referred to as Critical Crash Rate to analyze the data.
3.2 Analysis Techniques
3.2.1 Collision and Network Screening Analysis
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using four collision metrics:
x Number of Collisions
4 AASHTO, Highway Safety Manual, 2010, Washington D.C., http://www.highwaysafetymanual.org/Pages/About.aspx
5 AASHTO. Highway Safety Manual. 2010. Washington, DC. Page 4-2. 17 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
5 x Critical Crash Rate (HSM Ch. 4)
x Probability of Specific Crash Types Exceeding Threshold Proportion (HSM Ch. 4) x Equivalent Property Damage Only (HSM Ch. 4)
The initial steps of the collision analysis established sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this study, intersections were grouped by their control type (Signalized, Unsignalized, Roundabout) and segments by their roadway category (Arterial, Collector, Minor Collector, Local). Individual collision rates were calculated for each sub-population. The population level crash rates were then used to assess whether a specific location has more or fewer crashes than expected. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to help identify locations where unusual numbers of specific crash types are seen.
The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each one over the analysis period, and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crash than would be expected for that type of location. These crash type factors were 1) collision injury (fatal, serious injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, property damage only), 2) collision type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, other), 3) environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), and 4) driver behavior (impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving). With these additional factors, the locations were further analyzed and assigned a new rank.
3.3 Statistical Performance Measures
3.3.1 Critical Crash Rate (CCR)
Reviewing the number of collisions at a location is a good way to understand the cost to society incurred at the local level but does not give a complete indication of the level of risk for those who use that intersection or roadway segment daily. The Highway Safety Manual describes the Critical Crash Rate method which provides a statistical review of locations to determine where risk is higher than that experienced by other similar locations. It is also the first step in analyzing for patterns that may suggest systemic issues that can be addressed at that location, and proactively at others to prevent new safety challenges from emerging.
The Critical Crash Rate compares the observed crash rate to the expected crash rate at a location based on facility type and volume using a locally calculated average crash rate for the specific type of intersection or roadway segment being analyzed. Based on traffic volumes and a weighted citywide crash rate for each facility type, a critical crash rate threshold is established at the 95% confidence level to determine locations with higher crash rates that are unlikely to be random. The threshold is calculated for each location individually based on its traffic volume and the crash profile of similar facilities.
18 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
6 Figure 1 – Critical Crash Rate Formula
Source: Highway Safety Manual
Data Needs
CCR can be calculated using:
x Daily entering volume for intersections, or VMT for roadway segments; x Intersection control types to separate them into like populations; x Roadway functional classification to separate them into like populations; x Collision records in GIS or tabular form including coordinates or linear measures.
Strengths
x Reduces low volume exaggeration
x Considers variance
x Establishes comparison threshold
3.3.2 CCR Methodology
The Process of analyzing the CCR and comparing locations (separately by intersections and segments) is a multi-step process. The following is a high-level description of the process undertaken to develop the initial ranking of locations.
The first step in the process was to establish a city-wide crash rate for each facility population.
These populations are broken into two categories with sub-categories:
x Intersection:
o Signalized
o Unsignalized
o Roundabout
x Roadway Classification:
o Other Principal Arterial
o Minor Arterial

ME V, = Million entering vehicles for intersec tion i
SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
7 o Major Collector
o Local
The individual crash rate for each location was then calculated based on the associated traffic volume. This volume was either collected through data count resources or calculated based on the roadway classification. The next step was to establish a Significance Threshold. This Threshold was used to determine what level of exceedance (how much the crash rate exceeded the critical crash rate) a location must have based on traffic volume to provide a high level of confidence that the collision occurring at the location is not random. For this study, a confidence level of 95% was used. The local crash rates were then compared to Significance Threshold to see if each location exceeded the expected CCR and if so, by how much. This level of difference is known as Local CCR Differential and is shown in Table 5 and Table 6. After this analysis was completed, the locations were ranked by their categories according to that level of exceedance. A confidence level of 95% was used for the CCR Calculations. Locations where this level of difference is greater than zero are highlighted in gray in Table 5 and 6.
3.3.3 Probability
The Highway Safety Manual describes the methodology for determining the probability that crash type is greater than an identified threshold proportion. This helps to identify locations where a crash type is more likely to occur.
Data Needs
The probability of a specific crash type can be determined using collisions records with location data, and classifications of the locations (intersections or segments) studied.
Strengths
x Can be used as a diagnostic tool
x Considers variance in data
x Not affected by selection bias
The HSM methodology first determines the frequency of a specific collision type at an individual location, then determines the observed proportion of that collision type relative to all collision types at that location. A threshold proportion is then determined for the specific collision type; HSM suggests utilizing the proportion of the collision type observed in the entire reference population (e.g. throughout the entire City of San Clemente).
These proportions are then utilized to determine the probability that the proportion of a specific crash type is greater than the long-term expected proportion of that crash type.

3.3.4 Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO)
The equivalent property damage only (EPDO) method is described in the Highway Safety Manual. This method assigns weighting factors to crashes based on injury level (severe, injury, property damage only) to develop a property damage only score. In this analysis, the injury crash costs were calculated for each location (based on the latest Caltrans injury costs). This figure is then divided by the injury cost for a property damage only crash. The resulting number is the equivalent number of property damage only crashes at each site. This figure allows all locations to be compared based on injury crash costs. (Highway Safety Manual, Chapter 4). 4 Safety Partners
As part of the LRSP, local stakeholders were included in the process to ensure the local perspective was kept at the forefront of this planning effort. In addition to the Project Team which included City Staff, a stakeholder group was organized. This group consisted of members from City departments, Capistrano Unified School District, the City’s Public Safety Committee, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Orange County Fire Department, and local pedestrian and bicycle activists.
These leaders in the City and community were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the city’s transportation network. After the initial network screening and safety analysis, the stakeholder group met to discuss potential countermeasures and challenge areas.
The summary of the stakeholder meeting(s) are outlined below.
4.1 Stakeholder Meeting #1 & Field Tour
The first stakeholder meeting was conducted virtually using the Microsoft platform on October 11, 2021. At the meeting, stakeholders were introduced to the project and provided an overview of the data used, the required outputs, and the potential outcomes of the study.
In addition to the overview, Stakeholders were asked to provide local insight and knowledge at 10 “case study” locations that were identified after the initial network screening and crash analysis process. Potential countermeasures were recommended and discussed. Additionally, potential emphasis/challenge areas were proposed during the meeting to include impaired drivers, young drivers, and aggressive drivers.
Following the stakeholder kickoff meeting, a field tour of the “case study” locations was held on October 18, 2021 with members of the stakeholder group. The group visited each location and 21 Where:

9 gave feedback on safety issues present at these locations. This feedback helped to develop the countermeasures explored later in the report.
4.2 Stakeholder Meeting #2
A 2nd stakeholder meeting was held on November 4, 2021 to discuss findings of the field tour, and to identify potential countermeasures and other opportunities for improvement at the case study locations and citywide.
Stakeholder feedback regarding the plan and opportunities were reviewed and incorporated into the study process for the development of the LRSP.

11 6 Data Summary
6.1 Roadway Network
The collision analysis is built upon the existing roadway network. The City’s Proposed Mobility and Complete Street from the adopted 2014 Centennial General Plan was used at the base network. Figure 3 illustrates San Clemente’s roadway network categorized using Caltrans’ Classification System. This classification assigned to each corridor roadway segment as either Other Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, or Local road is used in the analysis process. Ultimately, corridors will be compared to roadway segments with similar designations.
6.2 Intersections
The collision analysis requires each intersection be classified by type: Signalized, Unsignalized, or Roundabouts. The safety analysis compares intersection safety performance to locations with similar control types. This information is also displayed in Figure 3.
6.3 Count Data
Vehicular count data is used as part of the analysis process to evaluate the impact of traffic and understand the natural hierarchy of the roadway network. Traffic volume data utilized for this project was pulled from the Master Plan of Arterial Highways volume model data from OCTA. For locations without volume, other resources were utilized to identify a reasonable assumption for individual corridors and classification types.
6.4 Collision Data
Collision data was collected from Crossroads Software for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019 to have a complete set of collision data for analysis. We utilize fiveyears of data instead of the standard three to provide more history to evaluate trends or patterns. Analysis of the raw collision data is the first step in understanding the specific and systemic challenges faced throughout the City. Analyzing the five years of data provided insight on the following collision trends and patterns. The locations and amount of fatal and severe injury collisions are displayed in Figure 4. The density of collisions at intersections and along roadway segments is shown in Figures 5-8.

18 7 Collision Analysis Results
The following section breaks down the collision data by a variety of input factors and user types.
This information will be used to highlight areas of concern for the City.
7.1 All Collisions
This report utilized collision data for a five-year period to provide a better understanding of trends and to reflect the patterns in crashes that have occurred on City streets. New data is added to the system in an ongoing basis which means that each time the City updates the analysis, a full 5-year draw from the database, rather than just adding records from the last query should be standard practice. Data used for this report were extracted from Crossroads Software analytics on June 29, 2021 and was current as of that date. Collision data from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019 as reported to Crossroads from the local enforcement indicated that during this time there were 1,336 collisions recorded within San Clemente.
The most common occurring collision types were Sideswipe (23%) and Rear-End (21%). The total number of collisions have been trending downward since 2016, with a significant 4% drop from 2016 to 20196
. In comparison with other cities nationwide, there has been an increasing trend of collisions from 2015 to 2019.

25 7.6 Significant Trends for Passenger Vehicles
x Twenty-seven (27) percent of “party at fault” was drivers age 16 through 25. x Seventeen (17) percent of collisions (229) involved hit objects. Although significant in number, there are no discernable patterns to these collisions. x Nine (9) percent of the “party at fault” was attributed to those age 65 and older. Looking at the expanded range of the “party at fault” for age 55 and older, this group accounts for almost 17% of collisions. Specifics for driver gender was not available in the collision data. x Only four (4) percent of collisions (64) were recorded as having occurred at night without streetlights, or during dusk/dawn. Many of these collisions still occurred at or near intersections.

Fifteen (15) percent of the collisions were primarily caused by drivers traveling at unsafe speed or following too closely. These types of collisions are located primarily on major arterials.
7.8 Statewide Comparison
The distribution of San Clemente’s fatal and severe injury collisions compared to statewide figures for several Caltrans Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) challenge areas is shown below in Table 4. Following the Caltrans SHSP Implementation Plan guidance, collision data from 2009 to 2018 was reviewed. The figures below may vary slightly from those mentioned previously due to the differences in the years of the study period. Compared to statewide collisions, the City of San Clemente had lower collisions involving commercial vehicles, young drivers, pedestrian, occupation protection, intersections, and aggressive driving. San Clemente had a higher proportion of fatal & severe injury collisions involving work zones, motorcyclists, aging drivers, bicyclists, impaired driving, distracted driving, and lane departures.

7.9 Collision Analysis Rankings
Table 5 and Table 6 show the number of crashes occurring at locations in San Clemente by crash type for the locations that will be studied further in the Report, and highlights locations in which the probability of those crash types exceeding the threshold proportion is greater than 50%.
The tables are ordered by the number of collisions that occurred at that segment or intersection.
All intersections and segments with three or more crashes were included. Locations with fewer than three crashes do not have enough data to infer trends. locations where more than two collisions occurred are represented. At locations with two or less collisions, random chance can account for crash history as much or more than specific roadway characteristics.
The tables are separated into sub-sections visible by the blue gradient. The first two columns, Collisions and CCR, represent the level of crash activity in absolute terms, and as relative to other similar locations, respectively.
Per guidance from the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) each sub-population of locations was ranked according to the number of collisions. The second column shows the CCR differential, which highlights whether the collision activity was higher than the average for the sub-population based on the individual segment or intersection volume. This volume was either collected through data count resources or calculated based on the roadway classification. All averages used in the CCR calculation were established based on City of San Clemente crash data to determine what locations might be best to prioritize at the local level. This process highlights locations of collisions that are unusually high for the City to determine intersections and roadway segments that have the greatest risk for users. The remaining columns total collisions by type, to evaluate each sub-population and understand what proportion of crashes in the City are of a particular type. The city-wide proportion was compared with the local intersection or segment specific proportion to determine which locations have more of a given crash type than would be expected when considering the City average.
After this analysis was completed, the locations were ranked against other similar locations within the City by their categories according to the expected proportion of that crash type within San Clemente. Locations with higher than expected crashes of that type were identified by the probability that random chance would not account for exceedances. 40 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022

Table Highlights
- Local CCR Differential:
o Locations with a Local CCR differential of greater than zero are highlighted in Gray - Fatal and Severe Injuries:
o Locations with one or more fatal/severe injuries are highlighted in Light Blue - Remaining Collision Types:
o Cells highlighted in Light Green have a 50% - 75% probability that this crash type is over-represented on this segment/intersection as compared to other characteristically similar locations within the City of San Clemente (as discussed in Section 4.3). Although these locations have a slightly higher probability of this crash type than their counterparts, they are not necessarily highly significant. o Cells highlighted in Light Yellow have a 75% or greater probability that this crash type is over-represented on this segment/intersection as compared to other characteristically similar locations within the City of San Clemente (as discuss in Section 4.3). These locations are highly significant in regard to the number of collisions occurring here and should be further investigated.

33 8 Emphasis Areas
Emphasis Areas are places where the City of San Clemente can strategically focus efforts to have a large impact on transportation safety. Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the Vision and Goals developed at the onset of this planning process and comparing them with the trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis. Where these areas aligned, or major challenges were observed, Emphasis Areas and strategies were developed.
Emphasis Area #1: Impaired Driving
Description: Impaired driving, as defined by the Caltrans SHSP, includes proof of drug or alcohol use by the driver, even if the driver is not over the legal limit. Approximately 18% of collisions during the study period reported the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. About 14% of the collisions during the study period resulted in being over the legal limit.
More than half of these took place on arterial roadways. A majority of impaired driving collisions took place between 8 PM and 3 AM.
Goals for Emphasis Area #1:
x Reduce the incidence and severity of collisions attributed to impaired driving x Identify hot spots and key corridors for impaired driving x Apply for funding to implement countermeasures to reduce impaired driving collisions Strategies for Emphasis Area #1:
x Authorize, publicize, and conduct sobriety checkpoints programs x Implement an impaired driving education campaign
x Develop educational programs targeting specific audiences based on age group x Additional enforcement presence
x Create effective media campaigns in both visual and print media These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), and Senate Bill 1 (SB1) grant programs.
Emphasis Area #2: Vulnerable Road Users (Bicycle and Pedestrians) Description: Pedestrians and bicyclists are classified by Caltrans as vulnerable road users, meaning they have the highest potential for severe harm during a crash. Pedestrian and bicycle activity is high in San Clemente. According to the crash analysis, 8 percent of crashes involved pedestrians and bicycles. 93% of these collisions resulted in some form of injury or pain. 20% of pedestrian collisions resulted in fatalities or severe injuries, and 10% of bicycle injuries resulted in fatalities or severe injuries. Electric bicycle (e-bike) usage is high in the City and special attention should be paid to safety of these users.
Goal for Emphasis Area #2:
x Reduce the number of collisions involving vulnerable road users x Identify hot spots and priority corridors for addressing vulnerable road user collisions x Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address pedestrian & bicyclist collisions
46 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
34 Strategies for Emphasis Area #2:
x Implement pedestrian and bicycle countermeasures at key locations x Install active transportation counters to identify high volume locations and implement infrastructure improvements at these locations
x Establish education and training programs to improve vulnerable road user safety citywide, including focus on electric bicycles
These strategies can be implemented by the City, while partnering with Caltrans, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), California Highway Patrol (CHP) and other community partners. Funding sources for these strategies may include Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Active Transportation Program (ATP), State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and Senate Bill 1 (SB1) grand funding programs.
Emphasis Area #3: Aggressive Driving
Description: Aggressive driving, as defined by the Caltrans SHSP, includes several behaviors including speeding, tailgating, and ignoring traffic signals and signs. Aggressive driving behaviors (unsafe speed or following too closely) accounted for 15 percent of collisions. 3 percent of these collisions resulted in a severe injuries, 33 percent of these collisions resulted in some other form of injury.
Goal for Emphasis Area #3:
x Reduce the number of crashes due to aggressive driving in the City x Identify hot spots and priority corridors for aggressive driving x Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address aggressive driving Strategies for Emphasis Area #3:
x Educational campaign to target aggressive drivers
x Increased law enforcement presence near aggressive driving hotspots x Increased coordination with law enforcement and other community organizations These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and community organizations.
Funding sources for these strategies may include Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and Senate Bill 1 (SB1) grant programs. 47 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
35 9 Opportunities
The following provides more information on general identified issues, crash modification factors, improvements, and countermeasures identified for the City of San Clemente, as well as for specific project locations identified as part of this analysis.
9.1 Infrastructure Improvements
9.1.1 Countermeasure Selection Process
Part D of the HSM provides information on Crash Modification Factors (CMF) for roadway segments, intersections, interchanges, special facilities, and road networks. CMFs are used to estimate the safety effects of highway improvements and apply CMFs to compare and select highway safety improvements. A CMF less than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to reduce collisions. A CMF greater than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to increase collisions. The application of an appropriate CMF can influence the decision to implement a particular project, and the misapplication of CMFs can lead to misinformed decisions. Key factors to consider when applying CMFs include:
1. Selection of an appropriate CMF,
2. Estimation of collisions without treatment,
3. Application of CMFs by type and severity, and
4. Estimation of the combined effect for multiple treatments Examples of Safety Countermeasures can be found through several sources. This Report utilizes the countermeasures found in the California LRSM (https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dotmedia/programs/local-assistance/documents/hsip/2020/lrsm2020.pdf) and the CMF Clearinghouse (CMF CH) website (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/).
Countermeasures for each of the Safety Project Case Studies are based on the data analysis and site visits. Additional countermeasures were identified for the high-level issues on a citywide level and are discussed in General City-Wide Safety Project Recommendations Section
9.3 of this Report.
9.1.2 Safety Project Case Studies
From the city-wide analysis, ten project case study locations were selected for further analysis and recommendation. For each of these locations, Safety Project Case Studies were developed to provide a case study to organize projects when applying for funding. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their collision histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits.
A Safety Project Case Study was developed for these locations:
1. Segment: Calle del Cerro: Ave Pico to Ave Vista Montana (W)
2. Segment: Ave Pico: I-5 to San Clemente High School
3. Intersection: I-5 Fwy & Ave Pico
4. Intersection: El Camino Real & Calle Valle
5. Intersection: Ave Palizada & El Camino Real
48 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
36 6. Segment: Ave del Mar: El Camino Real & Ola Vista
7. Segment: El Camino Real: Escalones to Avenida Barcelona (Downtown San Clemente)
8. Intersection: El Camino Real & Esplanade
Appendix A contains the Case Study pages which summarize conditions at each location, and potentially beneficial countermeasures. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment and scored according to their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure, and to potentially phase improvements over the longer-term. The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can then be extrapolated regardless of crash history. These case study sheets can also be used to position the City for future grant funding opportunities.
9.2 Non-Infrastructure Improvements
Non-Infrastructure recommendations have also been proven to impact safety conditions of the transportation network. These education and enforcement measure recommendations are developed to target specific behavior types and populations. Based on a review of the existing plans, policies, and programs within the City, the following topics have been reviewed to identify areas where the City can implement or enhance safety efforts.

40 9.3 General City-wide Countermeasure Toolbox
This evaluation considered city-wide trends to identify countermeasures that would likely provide the most benefit with widespread implementation. Countermeasures for each of the 5E Safety Strategies (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies) were identified. These include both infrastructure recommendations and noninfrastructure recommendations. Table 9 outlines the city-wide safety project recommendations, which is also referred to as the “Countermeasure Toolbox”. Within the toolbox, the description of the countermeasure along with its Local Road Safety Manuel (LRSM) ID number is listed. The next column, Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) also known as Crash Modification Factor (CMF), are “multiplicative factors used to estimate the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site (the lower the CMF, the greater the expected reduction in crashes)7
.”
For each of these countermeasures, a planning level benefit/cost analysis was completed.
Applying the benefit/cost at the city-wide level was estimated assuming some randomness in crash distribution. The location characteristics, such as whether there is a traffic signal, and the type of crashes, were used at the city-wide level to calculate an average cost of crashes that the countermeasure might reduce. The benefit per location was then factored out to a 20-year lifecycle savings, with an Opinion of Project Probable Cost (OPCC) for the initial installation costs and a per-year maintenance cost estimate. The cost shown in Table 9 should be considered initial planning costs using 2020 dollars and not assumed final.
In addition to countermeasures from the LRSM which are included in Table 4, the following engineering improvements are recommended for consideration by the City for implementation. x Posting full time or part time “No Right Turn on Red” signs based on the frequency of collisions. Potential use of blankout signs at signalized intersection should be considered as they can be extended to part time No U Turn restrictions. x Implementation of CAMUTCD compliant signal timing at all intersections which has been shown in recent studies to help reduce pedestrian related collisions. x Policy to regularly evaluate sight distance and visual clearance issues within the City. In addition to built obstructions, landscaping has become an increasingly important issue and is a factor in collisions.
x Restriping corridors to narrow travel and turn lanes widths, using the additional space to stripe wider bicycle facilities.
x Installation of bike detection and bike call buttons at signalized intersections.
Table 10 describes additional recommendations for the remaining categories of traffic safety which includes Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technology.

10 Evaluation & Implementation
10.1 Evaluation
The success of the LRSP will be evaluated using the preliminary process outlined below. This process will be useful to ensure proper implementation of goals and to determine when updates are needed.
x Quarterly progress meetings will be conducted to track the implementation of the plan. In addition, the success of the plan will be evaluated on an annual basis. x An update to the plan should be considered after no more than five years. x Continued monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways by law enforcement.
x Maintain a list of focus areas where there are transportation safety concerns.
10.2 Implementation
The opportunities identified in this report provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City. Over the next three to five years, the City has the opportunity to concentrate its efforts on the emphasis areas:
1. Impaired Driving
2. Vulnerable Road Users (Bicyclists and Pedestrians)
3. Aggressive Driving
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to collisions within the City. The countermeasure opportunities previously discussed in this report for both systemic and project-specific improvements can be used as a basis for developing projects at locations where addressing these focus areas would be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying City-wide collision rates), allowing projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct collision history, but with conditions that might contribute to future collisions.
10.3 Funding Opportunities
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in San Clemente. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout San Clemente. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply. The City should also work with regional agencies such as OCTA and SCAG to identify and apply for safety improvement funding.
10.3.1 Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a Federal program housed under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This program apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be 58 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
46 used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for non-motorized transportation, and other project types. Example safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
x New or upgraded traffic signals
x Upgraded guard rails
x Pedestrian warning flashing beacons
x Marked crosswalks
California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.
Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level can be found online at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/. California specific HSIP information – including dates for upcoming call for projects - can be found at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html.
10.3.2 Caltrans Active Transportation Program
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobility and safety for non-motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
x Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects
x Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g. safe routes to school) x Non-infrastructure programs (education and enforcement) This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring. Information on this program and cycles can be found online at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp/
10.3.3 State Transportation Improvement Program
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides state and federal gas tax money for improvements both on and off the state highway system. STIP programming occurs every two years. The programming cycle begins with the release of a proposed fund estimate, followed by California Transportation Commission (CTC) adoption of the fund estimate. The fund estimate serves to identify the amount of new funds available for the programming of transportation projects. Once the fund estimate is adopted, Caltrans and the regional planning agencies prepare transportation improvement plans for submittal. Caltrans prepares the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) using Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds, and regional agencies prepare Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) using Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds. The STIP is then adopted by the CTC.
59 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
47 10.3.4 California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
SB 1 is a landmark transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.
California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
x Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
o This will go to cities, counties and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in funding for these projects through the Active Transportation Program (ATP). x Local Planning Grants: $25 million
10.3.5 California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this report) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
x Alcohol Impaired Driving
x Distracted Driving
x Drug-Impaired Emergency Medical Services
x Motorcycle Safety
x Occupant Protection
x Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
x Police Traffic Services
x Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Program
x Roadway Safety and Traffic Records
10.3.6 SCAG Sustainable Communities Program (SCP)
This program is an innovative vehicle for promoting local jurisdictional efforts to test local planning tools. The SCP provides direct technical assistance to SCAG member jurisdictions to complete planning and policy efforts to implement the regional Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS). Grants are available in the following three categories:
x Integrated Land Use
o Sustainable Land Use Planning
o Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
o Land Use & Transportation Integration
x Active Transportation
o Bicycle Planning
o Pedestrian Planning
o Safe Routes to School Plans
60 SAN CLEMENTE LRSP 2022
48 x Green Region
o Natural Resource Plans
o Climate Action Plans (CAPs)
o Green House Gas (GHG) Reduction programs
10.4 Next Steps
The City of San Clemente has completed this LRSP to guide the process of future transportation safety improvements for years to come. The data-driven analysis process identified collision types, related primary collision factors, and locations of many collisions.
Based on this process, Emphasis Areas were developed. These Emphasis Areas will guide corridor improvements, education programs, and capital improvements for the City.
Using the analyzed data and outputs from this LRSP, the City has the opportunity to complete the following tasks:
x Actively seek other funding opportunities to improve safety for all modal users x Collaborate with established safety partners & neighboring municipalities as improvements are made to create a cohesive transportation network x Iteratively evaluate existing and proposed transportation safety programs and capital improvements to design a safer transportation network in San Clemente x Continually review collision data and update the analysis performed in this report x Monitor collision activity at locations where improvements were made to determine their impacts
The City also plans to have the City Council formally approve and adopt the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) in 2021. Based on current Caltrans guidelines, the City can plan to update the LRSP in five years in 2026.

87 Attachment 2
RESOLUTION NO. 23-45
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN CLEMENTE APPROVING THE LOCAL ROADWAY
SAFETY PLAN (LSRP)
WHEREAS, Federal regulations require that each State has a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and while the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a means for providing local and rural road owners with an opportunity to address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP; and
WHEREAS, starting in 2022, the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Calls for Projects, will require that an agency have an approved LRSP to be eligible to apply for federal HSIP funds; and
WHEREAS, on February 18, 2020, City Council authorized staff to submit a grant application to Caltrans for the LRSP development; and
WHEREAS, the Scope of Work of the project included preparation of the City’s LRSP through acquiring and analyzing traffic and collision data, identifying partners to review the data, selecting emphasis areas, developing safety strategies and countermeasures, and adopting the final plan; and
WHEREAS, the LRSP will play a critical role in addressing traffic collision risks and may identify specific or unique conditions that contribute to traffic collisions within the City and will provide a blueprint for future projects with costs associated with each project; and WHEREAS, the City previously determined that the preparation of an LRSP is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Class1: Existing Facilities) and Section 15306 (Class 6:
Information Gathering); and
WHEREAS, on April 6, 2021, City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn and Associates to prepare the LRSP; and WHEREAS, stakeholder meetings and field tours were held with representatives from various City Departments, Capistrano Unified School District, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, Orange County Fire Authority, San Clemente’s Public Safety Committee, and local pedestrian and bicycle activist to present the purpose of the LRSP, the results of the citywide crash pattern and trend analysis for crash severity and roadway user type (pedestrian and bicycle crashes), and priority locations identified from the citywide crash analysis; and 88 Resolution No. 23-45 Page 2
WHEREAS, stakeholder feedback packets were distributed to meeting attendees and guidance was provided for the feedback sought regarding priority locations, areas with known safety issues / high-risk behaviors including near schools, and desired roadway infrastructure improvements and safety programs and stakeholder packet responses were collected and addressed in the LRSP; and
WHEREAS, the approval of the LRSP would enable City staff to submit grant applications, with the goal of receiving funds to implement the LRSP identified priority projects.

ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION FOR TRAFFIC CALMING ON AVENIDA PRESIDIO BETWEEN
CALLE CORTEZ AND NORTH LA ESPERANZA, AND FINDING THE PROJECT
CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) UNDER CLASS 1 (EXISTING FACILITIES, 14 CCR SECTION 15301) OF THE STATE CEQA
GUIDELINES
Fiscal Impact:
Yes. The estimated cost for the proposed traffic calming improvements is approximately $15,000.
There is a sufficient remaining balance from the Traffic Calming Project account to fund the work.
Summary:
Before the City Council is approval of the following traffic calming improvements:
1. One electronic speed feedback sign on the southbound Avenida Presidio before 105 Avenida Presidio;
2. Red curb installation and removal; and
3. Edge line striping on Avenida Presidio between Calle Cortez and North La Esperanza.
Background:
Since approximately 2015, staff has received occasional complaints of speeding vehicles on Avenida Presidio between Calle Cortez and North La Esperanza. Complaints were also received about difficulties with seniors crossing the street in this area. The majority of the complaints have been submitted by residents of the senior housing development located at 105 Avenida Presidio (“The Presidio”). Staff informed the complainants of the policies and procedures of the City’s Traffic Calming and Resource Manual (the “Manual”), and how to file a formal petition.
In 2018, a petition was submitted and a study was done to measure speeding in the area. The results at that time did not meet the criteria for traffic calming or a pedestrian crossing based on the traffic volume, speed, and collision history.
In 2022, the same resident who filed the 2018 petition requested that new signage be installed to warn drivers of pedestrians crossing the road. City staff installed pedestrian crossing signs and agreed that edge line striping would be added during the next paving project on the street.
Additionally, staff periodically staged the speed feedback trailer and requested additional police monitoring of the area.
In response to a resident's request in August 2022, staff installed a Crossing Pedestrian warning sign CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/1/2023

Meeting Date: 6/6/2023 Agenda Item: 10B
In response to a resident's request in August 2022, staff installed a Crossing Pedestrian warning sign on each approach to The Presidio, based on the pedestrian safety assessment in December 2022.
Additional complaints have been submitted to the City recently and, as part of the effort to improve pedestrian safety, staff performed another traffic calming analysis for Avenida Presidio near the senior apartment in April 2023. The analysis included the Average Daily Traffic (ADT), speed surveys, and collision records.
As shown in Attachment 1, Avenida Presidio is a collector street. It has a 40-foot curb-to-curb width, a 25 mph speed limit, and on-street parking on both sides near the senior apartment complex.
Discussion:
In April 2023, staff collected travel speeds using radar and roadway counting machines. The measured Average Daily Traffic (ADT) was up to 1,446 vehicles on Avenida Presidio between Calle Cortez and North La Esperanza. The 85th percentile speed on Avenida Presidio is 30 mph.
Attachment 2 provides the traffic survey results.
Collision History
Recorded collision reports were received from the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) crash data. The three-year history from 2020 to 2022 shows two (2) incidents near the apartment complex on Avenida Presidio.
Traffic Calming Eligibility
The traffic calming analysis shows that the Avenida Presidio section qualifies for traffic calming measures. The analysis evaluated six (6) factors: Speed Element (10 points), Average Daily Traffic (ADT) Volume (0 point), Crashes (2 points), Pedestrian Generators (20 points), Sidewalks or Pathways (10 points), and Discretionary Factors (10 points). The Discretionary Factors received 10 points from the City Manager based on the additional data received from residents, the percentage of support, and other factors per the Manual. The main goal is to protect elderly pedestrians, who may have impairments and slower crossing speed. Out of a possible 110 points, the street section scored 52 points, which is above the 51 minimum points required to qualify for the traffic calming program. (See Attachment 3.) Therefore, the roadway is eligible for traffic calming measures.
The proposed traffic calming measures were reviewed by Planning Commission on May 17, 2023 and recommended for approval.
City notice was forwarded to the senior apartment representative to distribute to all residents in the community and the Presidio Point Condominiums to inform them that the City Council would discuss the subject matter at this meeting.
Council Options:
· Adopt Resolution No. 23-46, approving the traffic calming and red curbing modification as shown on Attachment 4 and finding the project categorically exempt from CEQA. · Adopt Resolution No. 23-46 with modifications.
· Continue the item and direct staff to provide additional information. · Do not adopt Resolution No. 23-46 and deny the request for traffic calming and/or red curbing CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 2 of 3 Printed on 6/1/2023

TEMPORARY MODIFICATION OF BEACH HOURS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 12.32.140
OF THE SAN CLEMENTE MUNICIPAL CODE AND CONSIDERATION OF URGENCY
ORDINANCE RELATED TO SAME
Summary:
Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code allows the City Manager to modify the beach closure hours when special circumstances warrant. There has been a measurable increase in municipal code violations in the beach areas and enforcement of the laws and ordinances of the City become challenging after 10:00 p.m. Although this is a temporary action, staff will be monitoring the beach environment to determine if the early closure improves public safety at the beach. If so, a permanent modification of the beach closure hours will be presented to the City Council for consideration.
Background:
In accordance with Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code (SCMC) the use of the public beaches is not allowed between the hours of 12:00 a.m. (midnight) and 4:00 a.m. However, the SCMC indicates that in the event of special circumstances the City Manager is authorized and empowered to modify the hours by filing the modification and the specified period of the modification with the City Clerk.
It has been determined by the City Manager that current circumstances warrant a modification of the beach closure hours to extend the closure from 10:00 p.m. until 4:00 a.m. rather than midnight until 4:00 a.m. In recent months, reports of municipal code violations, including physical altercations have occurred or originated on the beach during the late evening.
It is important to note that the beaches immediately adjacent to the City beaches in San Clemente close at 10:00 p.m. as do most of the beaches in Orange County. Consistent closure times will reduce confusion by visitors that may be unaware of the delineations between the City and State beaches.
If the City Council chooses to pursue a permanent modification to the hours of closure, the SCMC will need to be amended by Ordinance. For that purpose, both an Urgency Ordinance and a regular Ordinance have been prepared and attached hereto for consideration by the City Council.
A permanent closure will involve coordination with the California Coastal Commission and compliance with the Coastal Act. Section 30001 (c) of the Coastal Act states, “(c) That to promote the public safety, health, and welfare, and to protect public and private property, wildlife, marine fisheries, CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE Page 1 of 3 Printed on 6/2/2023
powered by Legistar™ 1
Meeting Date: 6/6/2023 Agenda Item: 10C
public safety, health, and welfare, and to protect public and private property, wildlife, marine fisheries, and other ocean resources, and the natural environment, it is necessary to protect the ecological balance of the coastal zone and prevent its deterioration and destruction.” This statement is further supported by the Coastal Act in Section 30005 Local governmental powers; nuisances; attorney general’s powers which indicates that “No provision of this division is a limitation on any of the following: (a) Except as otherwise limited by state law, on the power of a city or county or city and county to adopt and enforce additional regulations, not in conflict with this act, imposing further conditions, restrictions, or limitations with respect to any land or water use or other activity which might adversely affect the resources of the coastal zone. (b) On the power of any city or county or city and county to declare, prohibit, and abate nuisances.” The San Clemente City Code defines, in part, a nuisance as “Anything which is injurious to health or is indecent and offensive to the senses…” Clearly, many of the provision of the Coastal Act are consistent with the desire of the City Council to create a safe environment on the beach.
Finally, it should be noted that the hours of operation on the pier are not being changed at this time.
The pier will remain open until midnight and reopen at 4:00 a.m.
Council Options:
1. Move to support the action of the City Manager to modify the hours of closure from 12:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. until 4:00 a.m. on City beaches; adopt Urgency Ordinance 1751 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code to modify the closure hours of the beaches in the City; introduce and conduct a first reading on Ordinance No. 1752 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code; and find the actions categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 (Existing Facilities, 14 CCR section 15301) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
2. Move to support a temporary modification in different closure hours of City beaches and/or the pier by the City Manager, and find the action exempt from CEQA.
3. Adopt Urgency Ordinance 1751 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code to modify the closure hours of the beaches in the City, and find the ordinance exempt from CEQA.
4. Modify and adopt Urgency Ordinance 1751 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code, and find the ordinance exempt from CEQA.
5. Introduce and conduct a first reading on Ordinance No. 1752 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code to modify the closure hours of the beaches in the City, and find the ordinance exempt from CEQA.
6. Modify, introduce and conduct a first reading on Ordinance No. 1752 amending Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code, and find the ordinance exempt from CEQA.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 30005(b), “[n]o provision of [the Coastal Act] is a limitation…[o]n the power of any city or county or city and county to declare, prohibit, and abate nuisances”; and
WHEREAS, SCMC section 8.52.010 defines a public nuisance as including “[a]nything which is injurious to health or is indecent and offensive to the senses…”; and WHEREAS, keeping the public beaches open between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and midnight is injurious to public safety, health and welfare and constitutes a nuisance within the meaning of SCMC section 8.52.010; and
WHEREAS, to protect the public safety, health, and welfare, the City Council may adopt this ordinance as an urgency measure in accordance with Government Code section 36937(b).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Clemente does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council.
Section 2. Based upon its review of the entire record, including the Staff Report, any public comments or testimony presented to the City Council, and the facts outlined below, the City Council hereby finds and determines that this Ordinance is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Class 1 (Existing Facilities, 14 CCR section 15301) of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The Class 1 exemption specifically exempts from further CEQA review the operation, repair, maintenance, and minor repair of existing public or private structures, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency’s determination. Here, the Ordinance involves maintaining an existing use with a reduction in hours of operation. Thus, the Ordinance qualifies for the Class 1 exemption.
Furthermore, none of the exceptions to the use of the Class 1 categorical exemptions identified in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply. The Ordinance will not impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. The Ordinance will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time. There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the project that result in a reasonably possibility of a significant effect on the environment. The project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, rock outcroppings, or similar resources.
The project does not include any hazardous waste sites, and the project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. There is no possibility that the project will cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect effect on 5 55452.01400\34554865.4

Section 3. Keeping the public beaches open between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and midnight is hereby declared to constitutes a public nuisance. This Ordinance is necessary to abate a public nuisance.
Section 4. Section 12.32.140 of the San Clemente Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows (underline indicates additions and strikethroughs represent deletions):
12.32.140 - Use of municipal pier and public beaches.
It shall be unlawful for any person to be upon or use the public pier between twelve (12:00) midnight and four (4:00) a.m. and any public beach of the City between the hours of ten (10:00) p.m. twelve (12:00) midnight and four (4:00) a.m. of the following day. In the event of special circumstances so warranting, the City Manager, in his or her judgment, is authorized and empowered to modify the hours established herein by first filing each such modification and the specified period thereof with the City Clerk. In addition, the City Council may by resolution modify the hours established herein for any business establishment which operates on the public pier or public beach if the Council determines in its sole discretion that such modification will not be contrary to the public health, safety or welfare.
Section 5. This ordinance takes effect immediately upon its adoption.
Section 6. If any provision of this Ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity has no effect on the other provisions or applications of the Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this extent, the provisions of this resolution are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.
Section 7.
