correlation to traditional assets (i.e., stocks and bonds) and their inflation hedging properties. Categories of real asset investments include, but are not limited to, real estate, infrastructure, land, farmland, timberland, precious metals, and commodities. Public real assets are publicly traded and liquid. The benefit of lower correlation investments is that, when implemented correctly, these investments can potentially improve a portfolio’s expected risk-adjusted return over the long-term. The real assets category can be extended to include other forms of assets that offer similar inflation hedging properties such as pooled vehicles holding: commodities contracts, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), index-linked derivative contracts, certain forms of intellectual property, and the equity of companies in businesses thought to hedge inflation. For purposes of asset allocation targets and limitations, real assets may be categorized as “Other” under either the Growth Assets or Income Assets category or in the Real Return Assets category, depending on the nature and risk/return profile of the investment.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO SELECT PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SERVICES (PARS) AS THE CITY’S SECTION 115 PENSION INVESTMENT TRUST
ADMINISTRATOR AND IMPLEMENT AN INVESTMENT STRATEGY ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE ..body Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $1.18 million is available in the FY 2024-25 Budget for funding of the Section 115 Trust.
Summary:
At the Investment Advisory Committee (IAC) Special Meeting on May 27, 2025, the IAC unanimously agreed to recommend City Council approve Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) to administer the City’s Section 115 Pension Investment Trust Fund (115 Trust) and has recommended the Capital Appreciation portfolio within the Tactical Management investment strategy.
Background:
In 2012, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 68, which requires that governmental employers that sponsor Defined Benefit plans (i.e., CalPERS) must recognize a net pension liability (unfunded accrued liability) on their balance sheet. This represents the difference between the City’s total pension liability (actuarial accrued liability) and actual plan assets. GASB 68 became effective for fiscal years starting after June 15, 2014.
To reduce the GASB 68 net pension liability figure, the City’s only prior option was to commit additional funds to CalPERS (in excess of its annual required contributions) to reduce its unfunded liability. However, the IRS established that the City could create a separate trust to "pre-fund" its CalPERS unfunded liability. This would provide the City with an alternative to sending funds to CalPERS that will allow for greater local control over assets, with future excess contributions transferred to CalPERS at the City's discretion. The 115 Trust permits the City, under federal and state law, to invest in a diversified array of investments to maximize long term investment returns.
During the Long-term Financial plan on February 28, 2023, City Council reserved funds to be used toward the payment of the unfunded accrued pension liability. This amount was budgeted for $1.18 million in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget. Since then, the IAC has reviewed and discussed several options: PARS (Public Agency Retirement Services), CalPERS (California 1 Meeting Date: June 17, 2025 Agenda Item: 10D.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Public Employees’ Retirement System), and the possibility of the City establishing its’ own Trust.
After careful consideration, the IAC is recommending the 115 Trust be administered by PARS, under the direction of the City Treasurer with the support of the IAC. PARS administers a multiagency trust, with many municipalities participating throughout California.
Within PARS, the City has an option of both Index-based and Managed Tactical investment strategies, each with several portfolios of varying investment allocation and risk tolerance. The Managed Tactical Strategy offers Conservative, Moderately Conservative, Moderate, Balanced, and Capital Appreciation portfolios, which are tailored to meet the needs of an organization with regard to risk tolerance and financial goals. The IAC is recommending the Tactical Management Strategy, with a Capital Appreciation portfolio/risk tolerance. It is important to note that once selected, the City is not locked into a particular investment strategy. PARS allows flexibility for the City to move to a different portfolio, should the City choose to refine the investment strategy.
Approximately $1.18 million was appropriated in the FY 2023-24 Budget for payment of the unfunded accrued pension obligation. These funds were carried forward into the FY 2024-25 Budget and are available to provide preliminary funding of the 115 Trust.
Council Options:

The fundamental purpose of the Trust is to fund the Employer's OPEB Obligation or Pension Obligation or both.

The Employer hereby represents and warrants that the assets held hereunder (including the Assets) are not assets of any qualified plan under Code Section 40l(a), regardless of the character of such assets once distributed. The Employer hereby acknowledges that the Trust does not constitute a qualified trust under Code Section 401(a).

If any repayment is payable to the Employer, then, as a condition to such repayment, and only if requested by Trustee, the Employer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee its written undertaking, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, to indemnify, defend and hold the Trustee harmless from all claims, actions, demands or liabilities arising in connection with such repayment.
7.5 Termination of Trust
(a) The Trust and this Trust Agreement may be terminated by the unanimous agreement of all Employers, which action must be in writing and delivered to the Trustee and Trust Administrator. Upon termination of the Trust under this Section

This agreement (“Agreement”) is made this _____ day of _____________, 2025, between Phase II Systems, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, doing business as Public Agency Retirement Services and PARS (hereinafter “PARS”) and the [Agency Name] (“Agency”).
WHEREAS, the Agency has adopted the PARS Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust for the purpose of prefunding pension obligations and/or Other Post-Employment Benefits (“OPEB”) obligations (“Plan”) and is desirous of retaining PARS as Trust Administrator to the Trust, to provide administrative services.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree:

2. Fees for Services. PARS will be compensated for performance of the Services as described in the exhibit attached hereto as “Exhibit 1B”.
3. Payment Terms. Payment for the Services will be remitted directly from Plan assets unless the Agency chooses to make payment directly to PARS. In the event that the Agency chooses to make payment directly to PARS, it shall be the responsibility of the Agency to remit payment directly to PARS based upon an invoice prepared by PARS and delivered to the Agency. If payment is not received by PARS within thirty (30) days of the invoice delivery date, the balance due shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month. If payment is not received from the Agency within sixty (60) days of the invoice delivery date, payment plus accrued interest will be remitted directly from Plan assets, unless PARS has previously received written communication disputing the subject invoice that is signed by a duly authorized representative of the Agency.

Such services, terms, and applicable rates shall be agreed upon in writing and executed by both parties.
5. Information Furnished to PARS. PARS will provide the Services contingent upon the Agency providing PARS the information specified in the exhibit attached hereto as “Exhibit 1C” (“Data”). It shall be the responsibility of the Agency to certify the accuracy, content, and completeness of the Data so that PARS may rely on such information without further audit. It shall further be the responsibility of the Agency to deliver the Data to PARS in such a manner that allows for a reasonable amount of time for the Services to be performed.

Plan, to determine or inquire whether contributions are adequate to meet and discharge liabilities under the Plan, or to determine or inquire whether contributions made to the Plan are in compliance with the Plan or applicable law. In addition, PARS shall not be liable for nonperformance of Services to the extent such nonperformance is caused by or results from erroneous and/or late delivery of Data from the Agency. In the event that the Agency fails to provide Data in a complete, accurate and timely manner and pursuant to the specifications in Exhibit 1C, PARS reserves the right, notwithstanding the further provisions of this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement upon no less than ninety (90) days written notice to the Agency.

Such cause shall include, but not be limited to:
any incidence of fire, flood, acts of God or unanticipated communicable disease, acts of terrorism or war commandeering of material, products, plants or facilities by the federal, state or local government, a material act or omission by the other party or any law, ordinance, rule, guidance or recommendation by the federal, state or local government, or any agency thereof, which becomes effective after the date of this Agreement that delays or renders impractical either party’s performance under the Agreement.

FEE SCHEDULE FOR PARS TRUST PROGRAM — PENSION /OPEB
This Fee Schedule relates to the U.S. Bank National Association (“USBNA”) Institutional Trust & Custody division (“IT&C”) account identified below (such account, including any sub-accounts therein, the “Account”) and is effective as of the date of the Account’s adoption of the governing trust agreement (the “Fee Schedule’s Effective Date”).
Trust Name: Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefits Trust Employer Name:
USBNA; PFM Asset Management LLC (“PFMAM”); PFM Fund Distributors, Inc. (“PFMFD”); U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. (“USBAM”); and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) are affiliates of U.S. Bancorp (collectively with U.S. Bancorp, "U.S. Bank"). This Fee Schedule, together with the trust agreement and adoption agreement between the Customer (as defined below) and USBNA regarding the Account (“Account’s Governing USBNA Service Contract(s)”), describes services that U.S. Bank expects to provide to the Account pursuant thereto and compensation that U.S. Bank expects to receive therefor:
Account Profile (Part A): Describes the Account and U.S. Bank’s role with respect to the Account.
Account-level Fees (Part B): Describes fees U.S. Bank receives directly from the Account (the “Account Fees”).
Fund-level Fees (Part C): Describes fees the Account pays on the investment of Account assets in open-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Mutual Funds”), 3(c)(1) or (7) funds (“Private Funds”), bank-maintained collective trust funds (“CTFs”), and nonbank-maintained group trusts (“Group Trusts”) (each of the foregoing, a "Fund") (the “Fund Fees”) and fees U.S. Bank receives from those investments or their agents (“U.S. Bank Revenue Share”).

Changes (Part E): Describes circumstances under which this Fee Schedule may be changed.
Approval (Part F): Provides the customer’s approval of the fees described herein.
ACCOUNT PROFILE (PART A)
1. The Account holds assets of a health or welfare plan. The undersigned is the plan’s primary fiduciary (the “Customer”).
2. USBNA has discretion to invest Account assets to the extent provided in the Account’s Governing USBNA Service Contract(s) (to such extent, a “Managed Account”). PFMAM (the “Sub-Adviser”) invests Account assets in its discretion (a “Sub-Advised Account”) by way of a sub-contract between USBNA and the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser is an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (an “RIA”), and the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV is available at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/.
3. USBNA holds Account assets as trustee under a trust agreement adopted by the Customer. The Customer is the plan sponsor.
ACCOUNT-LEVEL FEES (PART B)
The Account Fees, which are in addition to Fund Fees and are paid directly to USBNA, are as follows. For a complete description of services that U.S. Bank expects to provide to the Account, see the Account’s Governing USBNA Service Contract(s).
Discretionary-trustee fee: Provide investment management. This fee is calculated in tiers:
35 basis points on the first $ 5,000,000 of Account assets 25 basis points on the next $ 5,000,000 of Account assets 20 basis points on the next $ 5,000,000 of Account assets 15 basis points on the next $ 35,000,000 of Account assets 10 basis points on the balance of Account assets
For assets invested in the First American Funds (as defined below) or PFMAM Funds (as defined below) or in a deposit account at USBNA, the rate is 0 bps, and the assets are excluded from the tiers above.
FOR A SUB-ADVISED ACCOUNT, if the Sub-Adviser or its affiliate is an investment advisor to a Mutual Fund (any such Mutual Fund, a “Sub-Adviser’s Mutual Fund”), then for assets invested in the Sub-Adviser’s Mutual Funds, the rate is 0 bps, and the assets are excluded from the tiers above. (U.S. Bank compensates the Sub-Adviser from U.S. Bank’s own fees; the Account does not pay fees in addition to the fees stated herein in connection with services provided by the SubAdviser.) Manner of Receipt. Account Fees will be calculated monthly. Account balances held in OPEB and Pension within the Trust will be combined for fee calculations. Any asset-based Account Fees will be based on the applicable Account balance (or portion thereof) as of the end of the SAMPLE
Attachment 5
44 -
- - -
billing period. (The asset values used in such calculation may vary from the asset values reported on an asset statement because of timing issues, such as the posting of accruals or the late-pricing of securities.) Account Fees will then be charged to the Account.
FUND-LEVEL FEES (PART C)
Fund Fees. Fund Fees, and U.S. Bank Revenue Share, are based on investment in a Fund and may vary by Fund and by class of shares or units issued by the Fund. Fund Fees are charged against the Fund's assets and reduce the Fund’s average daily balance and investment yields. U.S. Bank Revenue Share is paid indirectly from the Fund Fees and is not in addition to the Fund Fees.
Additional Investment-Related Information. See a Mutual Fund’s prospectus; a Private Fund’s, CTF’s, or Group Trust’s governing documents (such as a limited liability company agreement, limited partnership agreement, trust agreement, or declaration of trust), offering documents (such as an offering circular, offering memorandum, private placement memorandum, prospectus, or summary description), and subscription documents (such as an adoption agreement or subscription agreement); and any Fund’s fund-fact sheet, schedule of portfolio holdings, and annual report (collectively, as applicable, the “Fund-Issuer’s Disclosure”) for Fund details not reflected in this Fee Schedule.
See, especially, sections thereof regarding fees, expenses, additional compensation, and payments to financial intermediaries.
Total Annual Operating Expenses (“TAOE”). From time to time, a Fund’s service provider may voluntarily waive a portion of the fees it is entitled to receive for servicing the Fund or refund such a portion to a Fund investor. The term TAOE, as used herein, means the TAOE before waivers and refunds. If a waiver is in effect, the Customer’s approval of Fund Fees and U.S. Bank Revenue Share includes approval up to the TAOE; if the service provider terminates the waiver as provided in the Fund-Issuer’s Disclosure, the approval persists.
Estimating U.S. Bank Revenue Share. To estimate the amount of U.S. Bank Revenue Share, multiply the Account’s average balance in a Fund over the relevant year by the fee rate set forth in the appropriate sub-column of the Rate-of-Fees-Received-By column below. (For help with estimating average balances, contact USBNA.) Except for the rates of USBNA’s fees from National Financial Services LLC (EIN: 04- 3523567) (“NFS”), USBAM’s fees, and PFMAM’s fees, those fee rates are estimates. U.S. Bank calculates those estimated fee rates as follows: (i) Start with the total amount of fees received by the applicable U.S. Bancorp affiliate with respect to the Fund during the most recently ended calendar year; and (ii) Divide by the total value of all Fund shares serviced by the affiliate as of that calendar-year end. The sum of the fee rates in the sub-columns will not necessarily equal the TAOE, because the TAOE might be based on a different time period than such fee rates and because service providers unaffiliated with U.S. Bank might receive fees from the Fund. Actual fees may vary from such estimates and year to year.
Omnibus Accounts. Certain portfolios known as “Omnibus Accounts” are available to the plan under the Account’s Governing USBNA Service Contract(s), and those portfolios include Mutual Funds. If the plan selects an Omnibus Account, then Account assets are invested in Mutual Funds accordingly. Such Mutual Funds are listed below if they pay U.S. Bank Revenue Share.
First American Funds. USBAM is the investment advisor to the Mutual Funds in the First American Funds Trust family (the "First American Funds"). First American Funds issue shares in multiple classes, and their fees may vary by class. U.S. Bank may enter into agreements with First American Funds or with First American Funds’ service providers (including investment advisers, administrators, or transfer agents) whereby U.S. Bank provides services to the First American Funds, including, as applicable, services provided by USBAM (investment advisory, shareholder services), by USBNA (custody, shareholder services), and by USBFS (accounting, administration, transfer agency, shareholder services), and receives fees for these services from the Fund or the Fund’s sponsor or agent. Prospectuses for First American Funds are available at https://www.firstamericanfunds.com/index/FundPerformance/ShareholderDocuments.html.

Private Funds; CTFs; Group Trusts. U.S. Bank may enter into agreements with Private Funds, CTFs, or Group Trusts or with their service providers, whereby U.S. Bank provides services to such Funds, including, as applicable, services provided by USBNA (custody) and by USBFS (accounting, administration, shareholder services, transfer agency), and receives fees for these services from the Fund or the Fund’s sponsor or agent.
OTHER COMPENSATION (PART D)
Float Income. USBNA may hold (i) cash awaiting either investment or distribution to proper recipients or (ii) funds held for other purposes (for example, pending investment following a trade fail, because funds were received too late to be posted the same day, or pursuant to an investment direction) in a noninterest-bearing deposit account at USBNA and, thereby, earn and retain income on the float as part of its fees for servicing the Account. The payors of the float income are other financial institutions that borrow USBNA’s deposits on a short-term basis.
For cash awaiting investment, the float period is generally no longer than one business day following the receipt by USBNA of such cash.
However, if the Customer fails to provide adequate information concerning the allocation of contributions (or, if applicable, if there is no participant investment direction), the float period may last until such date as USBNA receives clear, comprehensive directions (in accordance with applicable trading deadlines) as to how such cash should be allocated and invested. For distributions made from the Account, the float period commences on the date the check, wire transfer, or electronic transfer is issued to a proper recipient and ends on the date the check is presented to USBNA for payment and settles or wire or electronic transfer is accepted by the receiving institution. The time period involved varies for each payment issued, though the average time such payments remain outstanding is one (1) to fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of issuance. For funds held for other purposes, the float period commences on the date good funds are deposited in the applicable deposit account and ends on the date the funds are withdrawn or transferred therefrom, such as ending upon actual trade settlement (for funds held pending investment following a trade fail) or on the next business day (for funds received too late to be posted the same day).
The float rate on (i) cash awaiting investment; (ii) un-cashed checks, pending wire transfers, and pending electronic transfers and (iii) funds held for other purposes is generally no more than the Target Federal Funds Rate (the “Target Rate”) of interest applicable during the period involved. The Target Rate is the short-term rate objective announced by the Federal Reserve. The actual rate of interest paid between banks is the Effective Federal Funds Rate (the “Effective Rate”). The Effective Rate changes daily but is generally close to the Target Rate. Changes to the Target Rate are made by the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee. The announced Target Rate can be obtained upon request from your account representative or can be found in the Wall Street Journal.
Expenses. Expenses, fees, costs, and other charges incurred by USBNA in providing services under the Account’s Governing USBNA Service Contract(s) are expenses of the Account.
Advance of Funds. If USBNA advances funds in furtherance of settling the redemption of Fund shares or units, then the yield, if any, paid on the shares or units that were treated as redeemed is retained by USBNA as part of its fees for servicing the Account.
CHANGES (PART E)
USBNA may amend this Fee Schedule by delivering to the Customer an amended and restated Fee Schedule (or another written notice of the change). If the Customer does not deliver a written objection to USBNA within sixty (60) calendar days thereafter, the new fee schedule will become effective.
This Fee Schedule need not be amended to reflect the Account’s complete divestment from a Fund.
USBNA will not notify the Customer of (i) the re-investment of Account assets into a Fund not listed above which pays U.S. Bank Revenue Share or (ii) a change to a U.S. Bank Revenue Share rate listed above, except insofar as the Customer thereafter asks USBNA for an amended and restated Fee Schedule and such Fund or revised rate is reflected therein. The Customer’s approval of Fund Fees and U.S. Bank Revenue Share includes approval of the Fund Fees and U.S. Bank Revenue Share that would be described in any such amended and restated Fee Schedule. As such, the Customer should request an amended and restated Fee Schedule periodically and in connection with re-investment of Account assets.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE SAN CLEMENTE LIFEGUARD
STATUE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AND CLARIFICATION OF COUNCIL INTENT REGARDING MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILIT ..bodyIES
Fiscal Impact:
No capital expenditure is required from the City for the fabrication or installation of the statue.
Summary:
City Council is requested to approve a maintenance agreement with the San Clemente Lifeguard and Junior Lifeguard Foundation (the “Foundation”) for the installation of the San Clemente Lifeguard Sculpture and to clarify the Council’s intent that the City, not the Foundation, will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the statue. Clarifying this action will require repealing and replacing Resolution No. 24-139 (Attachment 2) to reflect the City’s maintenance obligation, as originally discussed by Council during its previous project approval.
Background:
On September 3, 2024, the City Council approved the Foundation’s proposal to design, fabricate, and install a San Clemente Lifeguard Statue in recognition of the City’s longstanding lifeguard tradition. The total value of the project—including design, manufacturing, and installation—is estimated at $300,000 and will be fully funded by the Foundation.
As part of the staff recommendation presented to the Council, it was proposed that the Foundation assume full responsibility for the long-term maintenance of the statue. However, during Council deliberations, Councilmembers expressed a desire for the City to accept responsibility for maintaining the monument. Despite this discussion, the final motion was to “adopt the staff recommendation as written,” which, by default, assigned maintenance responsibility to the Foundation. As such, Resolution No. 24-139 and the meeting minutes reflect that the Foundation is responsible for maintenance.
Given the discrepancy between Council’s apparent intent during deliberations and the formal action adopted, staff recommends Council clarify its desire to have the City assume responsibility for the statue’s maintenance.
Ongoing maintenance is estimated at approximately $2,000 biennially and would be allocated in future budget adoptions once the statue is built. The maintenance will include cleaning, graffiti removal, protective coatings (as necessary), and minor repairs. 1 Meeting Date: June 17, 2025 Agenda Item: 10E.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Council Options:
Clarify that the City will assume responsibility for ongoing maintenance:
o Repeal and replace Resolution No. 24-139.
o Adopt a new resolution confirming the City will maintain the statue. o Direct staff to enter into a maintenance agreement with the Foundation that reflects this clarification.
o Estimated fiscal impact: $2,000 biennially from the General Fund. Reaffirm Resolution No. 24-139 as written:
o Require the Foundation to remain responsible for ongoing maintenance. o Direct staff to communicate this expectation to the Foundation and determine if the project will proceed under these terms.
o No fiscal impact to the City.
Direct staff to bring back a revised funding partnership.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
The proposed installation of the San Clemente Lifeguard Statue has been evaluated in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the project is determined to be categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 (Class 3 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures).
Recommended Actions:
Staff Recommendation ..recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 25-87, which will:
1. Repeal and replace Resolution No. 24-139; and
2. Adopt a new resolution approving the maintenance agreement for the San Clemente Lifeguard Statue and clarifying that the City of San Clemente shall assume responsibility for all ongoing maintenance; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement for Donation, Installation and Maintenance of Public Artwork with the San Clemente Lifeguard Foundation. ..end

MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC ARTWORK
This Agreement for Donation, Installation and Maintenance of Public Artwork (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this [___] day of [______], 2025, by and between the City of San Clemente, California (the “City”) and the San Clemente Lifeguard and Junior Guard Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), who are sometimes referred to as “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”, with respect to the following facts:
R E C I T A L S
WHEREAS, the Foundation is a nonprofit public benefit corporation, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, dedicated to enhancing the safety and wellbeing of visitors to the beach through education, community partnerships, direct support of the San Clemente Marine Safety Division’s lifeguard and junior lifeguard programs, and preservation of the history and memorabilia of San Clemente lifeguarding; and WHEREAS, the Foundation intends to raise funds and commission a sculpture (the “Artwork”), created by sculptor Bill Limebrook (the “Artist”), an illustration of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference, to honor and celebrate the City’s 90-plus year commitment to providing ocean lifeguard services that promote the safety of its beaches and beachgoers, and will have title to the Artwork following its construction; and WHEREAS, the Artwork is being offered to the City as a gift; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes the importance of this tribute and supports the installation of the Artwork at Parque Del Mar, a site that will enhance the community’s appreciation of San Clemente’s coastline and lifeguard history, and wishes to collaborate with the Foundation regarding the installation and ongoing maintenance of the Artwork; and WHEREAS, the city council of the City (the “City Council”) at its regular meeting of September 3, 2024 adopted Resolution No. 24-139, which, among other things, conditionally approved the installation of the Artwork at the north side of Parque Del Mar, in the location depicted as Location D (“Site”) in Exhibit “A” to Resolution No. 24-139, which is incorporated herein fully by this reference, subject to obtaining a coastal development permit, waiver or other approval from the California Coastal Commission and subject to the Foundation entering into an installation and maintenance agreement with the City as set forth in Section 4 of Resolution No. 24-139; and
WHEREAS, on September 3, 2024, the City Council found, among other things, that the addition of the Artwork at the Site aligns with the existing recreational, visitor serving and cultural use of the area, will enhance the park’s visual appeal, does not involve any change in land use or density, will not impact coastal resources and is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Class 3, Section 15303 of the state CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR 15303); and
11 2

A public hearing to request the Zoning Administrator to approve Temporary Use Permit (TUP) 25-128 to host approximately 200 attendees over four (4) days on the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints property located at 310 Avenida Vista Montana. Proposed set-up includes a Tabernacle tent and ceremonial tree to be lit in the evening until 10 pm on Thursday, May 22, 2025 and the following Friday May 23, 2025, with day time and evening activities (no overnight) Friday, May 23, 2025 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and Saturday May 24, 2025 through Monday, May 26, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Tear down of the temporary improvements will take place Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
1 Agenda Item: 11B(1)
Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 2 The Zoning Administrator will also consider whether the project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities) and §15311 (Class 11: Accessory Structures).
Assistant Laura Coury summarized the request for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP25128) for the Santa Margarita State Church Youth Conference 2025.
The event is scheduled to occur from May 22 to May 27, 2025, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (“Church”), located at the corner of Calle Del Cerro and Avenida Vista Montana. Key details included:
• Setup Dates: May 22-23, 2025
• Event Dates:
o Friday, May 23, 2025: Activities from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. o Saturday, May 24 - Monday, May 26, 2025: Activities from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• Tear down Date: Tuesday, May 27, 2025
• The event aims to gather approximately 200 youth, aged 14 to 18, for educational and spiritual activities, including a representation of the biblical tabernacle. Attendees are encouraged to carpool to minimize traffic congestion.
• The application meets criteria set out in local zoning codes, with provisions included to address potential issues related to:
o Noise levels
o Traffic management
o Parking arrangements
o Event timing
• The Church proposes using a section of the parking lot, which has a total of 319 spaces, allowing ostensibly enough remaining spaces for other potential visitors.
Zach Rehm, Principal Planner, provided additional information concerning public comments received on traffic and noise concerns. He added that the proposed event should not create significant parking issues or traffic congestion, given the Church’s extensive parking facilities, particularly because most attendees would carpool.
Applicants Autumn Johnson and Jeff Stark were introduced. Mr. Stark, a representative from the Church, highlighted the purpose of the youth conference: to serve as a learning and community-building experience for young Church members. He addressed concerns regarding traffic and parking from previous events, emphasizing the Church’s commitment to improving communication and management of future gatherings. Mr. Stark also confirmed that activities would not exceed established noise levels and that most youngsters would be driven by others, or carpool, due to age restrictions on driving.
ZA Atamian opened the public hearing for public comments:
2 Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 3 Robert Carson: neighboring resident cited passed issues where Church events led to overflow parking in private residential areas, asserting a need for better management. Mr. Carson referenced issues addressed in a letter sent from the homeowners association’s legal counsel.
Tim Brown: member of the Church supported the event and acknowledged the need for sensitivity regarding parking issues while emphasizing the public use and compatibility of the property with the neighborhood; and the importance of the Church’s activities to youth spiritual development.
ZA Atamian disclosed his familiarity with the site and receipt of several written communications: Jessica Bennett, Philip Carpenter, Michele Oberholtzer and Janna Ferraro, Esq., of Flanagan Law, APC, legal counsel for Rancho Cristianitos Homeowners Association.
ZA Atamian emphasized the community’s right to govern local land use via zoning laws while respecting the religious expression protected by federal law, particularly the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) that is found in Title 42 of the Public Health and Welfare, Chapter 21(c), §2000(cc). ZA Atamian cited the applicable sections of the law for the record.
Summarizing the law, ZA Atamian indicated that RLUIPA prohibits local governments from imposing substantial burdens on religious practices. The right of religious expression is protected and that all governments must attempt to facilitate the expression of those freedoms in the least restrictive manner possible.
ZA Atamian addressed each written communication individually, and provided the following comments in response to the concerns raised in individual, or multiple, written communications:
Hearing Notice: Two communications referenced an error in the noticing date. ZA Atamian reviewed the public notices that were mailed containing the legally-required information, including, but not limited to, the hearing date of May 8, 2025, with the time and location at the top of the postcard; and he acknowledged the subsequent paragraph that erroneously stated April 17, 2025. ZA Atamian also stated that the postcards were postmarked on April 24, 2025 and the sentence in future tense, clarifies the error. ZA Atamian highlighted that there were many undeliverable postcards returned, one being the Rancho Cristianitos Homeowners Association as they most likely own a piece of property that does not have a title for tax purposes and suggested that the association update their information. Mr.
Carson stated that he did not receive a notice, and ZA Atamian advise that only property owners within 300’ receive notices.
Parking: ZA Atamian asked applicants to project attendance for the proposed event, regular services and group tours on Saturday and Sunday that weekend. Mr. Stark described the expectation with a holiday weekend 3 Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 4 and estimated around 120-150 cars could be expected, but preferred to be consistent with 200 spaces. Mr. Stark also stated that the gaming areas is being removed on Saturday resulting in 300 spaces on Sunday.
Proximity of Church to Residential Area: ZA Atamian stated that the Rancho San Clemente Specific Plan permits churches, temples and other places of worship within all residential zones through a conditional use permit. Therefore, in the context of this Church’s location within an Institutional Zone, it can be seen as a land use that would otherwise be conditionally permitted similarly to the neighboring residential zones. If the subject zone was residentially zoned, a similar conditional use permit could be approved. RLUIPA would apply.
Unpermitted Events: ZA Atamian was aware of events where the City’s Code Compliance staff reported sound and parking impacts. However, ZA Atamian’s personal experience was that the leadership resolved the issues in cooperation with the City, and such events have not been reported since.
Visual Impacts: ZA Atamian reiterated that the visual aesthetics of the tent and the grounds are not in the purview of the City’s review of temporary use permits in this instance, as it relates to the expression of religious freedom and view obstruction is not regulated in the City of San Clemente. The proposed tent meets the typical height requirements of the zone.
Timing of Marketing vs. Permits: ZA Atamian stated that applicants often do not allow ample timing for the processing special event permits; yet staff does their best to facilitate all requests expeditiously. This often results in applicants marketing their event prior to approval of the necessary permits.
Holiday Weekend: ZA Atamian stated he does not see an issue due to the timing of the event and attendance projections.
Attractive Nuisance: ZA Atamian stated that he would not expect unwanted guests at this type of event on a holiday weekend.
Noise: ZA Atamian noted that the application indicated no amplified sound, which is also prohibited in the Conditions of Approval with exception to the tree ceremony on Friday evening with a single speaker. Mr. Stark confirmed that there will be no music.
Tree: Mr. Stark confirmed that the tree being used for the tree lighting portion of the event is an existing tree on the site.
ZA Atamian read sections of the letter from Janna Ferraro, Esq representing the homeowner’s association and highlighted the following:
Parking: ZA Atamian stated that within the criteria of the application, there doesn’t appear to be an expectation of parking spillover; however, people are free to park wherever they are legally able. When it comes to private 4 Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 5 streets, parking is only allowed with permission from residents or if they have legitimate business within that neighborhood, and signage is typically posted accordingly. Parking on those streets can result in a vehicle being towed off the premises. ZA Atamian strongly encouraged the Church’s leadership to communicate to their members and event attendees to park in the Church’s lot and not in the neighborhood. Condition 7.15 allows the City Planner to identify parking issues and to mitigate such issues.
Parking Enforcement: ZA Atamian further stated that this event should not require Parking Enforcement Officers given the nature of the event, and that residents can call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department to address a parking situation on the neighboring streets.
Building Use: ZA Atamian stated that requesting the event to be hosted solely in the Church building violated RLUIPA and that the City approves many outdoor activities and events for non-religious functions including the pickleball tournaments hosted at Lifetime Fitness several times a year.
Original Entitlements: ZA Atamian read the section that challenged the staff conclusion that the 4-day event is in conformance to the original entitlements. ZA Atamian supported staff’s determination, in that a religious activity is being provided on a property that has entitlements to operate as a religious facility. The mere fact that the applicant’s are applying for a temporary use permit indicates that staff did not interpret this event as being covered under the original entitlements, only that it is consistent with the land use contemplated by them.
Previous Events: ZA Atamian and the applicants discussed previous youth stake events and the impact of parking and traffic. It was discovered that a previous Sunday stake event was held some time ago on the same day of services, resulting in higher attendance.
There being no further questions of staff or the applicant, ZA Atamian closed the public hearing.
ZA Atamian determined the project Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities) and §15311 (Class 11: Accessory Structures).
Action: The Zoning Administrator adopted the alternate Resolution ZA25- 010 approving Temporary Use Permit 25-128, Santa Margarita Stake Church Youth Conference 2025 at the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints at 310 Avenida Vista Montana, subject to the Conditions of Approval with the following modifications to the Resolution and Conditions of Approval (COA):

2 Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting of May 21, 2025 Page 3 • Sprouts has chosen select stores in California to transition from a type 20 to a Type 21 License, San Clemente being one of stores. • No formal presentation, but available for questions about the offerings under type 21.
There being no questions of the applicants, Chair Cosgrove closed the public hearing.
IT WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER MCKHANN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DAVIS, AND CARRIED 4-0, VICE CHAIR CAMP, COMMISSIONERS PRESCOTTLOEFFLER AND MCCAUGHAN ABSENT, TO DETERMINE THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM CEQA PURSUANT TO CEQA GUILDINES §15301 (CLASS 1: EXISTING FACILITIES) AND TO ADOPT RESOLUTION PC25-008 APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 25-088, SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET OFFSITE ALCOHOL SALES, SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
A. Public Hearing Project (PHP) 24-537, The Bowl, 641 Camino De Los Mares, Suite B
Chair Cosgrove called for any disclosures or exparte communications from the Commissioners. There being none, Associate Planner Carrillo narrated a PowerPoint Presentation entitled, “The Bowl, PHP24-537,” dated May 21, 2025. A copy of the Presentation is on file in Planning Division.
Chair Cosgrove opened the public hearing.
The applicants team consisted of Melissa and Drew Parkin, owners; Gary Wiggle, architect; Tessa Allen, traffic engineer; and Donna Erdle, property manager. Ms.
Parkin gave a presentation that highlighted her career as a professional bowler, other successful bowling ventures, the vision of “The Bowl,” and sharing the positive feedback from neighboring businesses in and around the shopping center and residents.
Ms. Allen was called up to speak on the traffic study details:
• The traffic study focused on site access, levels of service at intersections, and queuing conditions.
• Trip generation ratios were applied to both the prior movie theater use and the proposed bowling alley use.
• The study did not evaluate the 1995 shared parking study, but the city staff report on parking seems to fit within current parking standards.
Gary Wiggle discussed occupancy:
• The original occupancy was only 534 people.
• The California Building Code dictates occupancy numbers based on square footage and use.
• The initial number of 534 is a realistic estimate of the number of people that will be in the building at one time.
3 Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting of May 21, 2025 Page 4 • The arcade area occupancy is based on gross floor area, but the number is high and realistically probably will not be achieved.
• The fire department wanted the occupant load at the full amount, and the building has adequate circulation space and exiting.
Public Comments:
Casey Shedd, resident and father of three supports the bowling alley because San Clemente is insular and families have to leave to go to birthday parties. Mr. Shedd coaches baseball with Mr. Parkin and says that he and Ms. Parkin are great people around kids.
Josh Harper, resident and father stated he is looking forward to the bowling alley, knows Drew from coaching and prefers to have something local.
Clark Coles, resident and father to two boys knows the Parkins through their children's school and is excited for the project to have some fun family entertainment local. Mr. Coles hosts corporate events for sales teams and thinks this will be a great way to increase revenue and opportunity for businesses.
Gene Grode, neighboring resident did a straw poll of people on the golf course who unanimously wanted the bowling alley and mentioned the jobs and tax base that the bowling alley will bring.
Venkat Raman, neighboring resident are excited about the project.
Brenda Raman, neighboring resident wishes the bowling alley had been in San Clemente 25 years ago for her kids.
Alex Wassom, resident with four children is excited about the future benefits of the bowling alley and entertainment center, providing a safe place for his children to play and be entertained locally.
Purita Ferrer, resident supports the project, calling it a "noble project" that creates a great environment for families.
Unanimous, a 50-year resident expressed excitement for the project, hoping it will beautify the city and provide activities for both young and old members of the community.
Stanley Lucas, former employer of Mr. and Ms. Parkin shared his personal story of how they helped him overcome homelessness and believes the project would be wonderful for the city
Jodi Pickersnit, owner of a hair salon next to the theater, is excited about the project and hopes it will elevate the whole center, suggesting a surfer mural to improve the area's aesthetics.
4 Minutes of Regular Planning Commission Meeting of May 21, 2025 Page 5 Josh Austin, a father of five and owner of Greenside Golf, expresses strong support for the project, seeing it as a great addition to the city. Mr. Austin proposed a bike lane to alleviate parking issues.
There being no questions of the applicants, Chair Cosgrove closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Discussions:
• To address questions on bike lanes on Camino De Los Mares, Assistant City Engineer, Zachary Ponsen explained that there is no room for bike lanes on this arterial road due to the recent road improvements and the need for vehicular traffic lanes.
• Jonathan Lightfoot, City Planner, mentioned that the City is considering a replacement value, where providing a certain number of bike stalls can count as a parking stall.
• Orange County Fire Authority has reviewed the project and is at a point where the final version would be going back to them once they get to the building permit.
• The traffic study in the report showed no issues with the level of service on drive aisles and intersections.
• Commissioners asked about the current condition of negotiations with the easements, as the project's parking solution is incomplete. • There are two easement agreements from 1995: one between 635 Camino De Los Mares and 641 Camino De Los Mares, and another between 641 Camino De Los Mares and 647 Camino De Los Mares. It is unclear if they are valid at this time, hence why the applicant needs to provide estoppel certificates to confirm the validity of these agreements. • The preferred path forward is to obtain an estoppel certificate for the easement between 641 Camino De Los Mares and 647 Camino De Los Mares, and if that's not possible, they will consider shared parking just on the 641 Camino De Los Mares property alone.
• Commissioners stated that the building is unique, captures everything inside, no outdoor patios, sound is contained; and therefore, would support that applicant’s requested extended hours for live entertainment: 5:00 p.m. to 11:30 Thursday through Saturday and holidays, and 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 Sunday through Wednesday.
• Commissioners expressed concern with parking, wants to see the solution before approval, and stated a desire to limit review to strictly parking and not the use if there are substantial changes in negotiations. • Comfortable relying on staff to ensure estoppels are in place. • Suggests a trigger for re-evaluation if parking options don't work out. • Clarification needed on whether estoppel agreements need rewriting. • Suggests language for documentation to the satisfaction of the city attorney.

5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Buona Forchetta: 12-Month Review of Operations and Conditions of Approval, 1014 S. El Camino Real
A New Business Agenda item for the Zoning Administrator to review the prior year operations and compliance with conditions of approval related to Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) 21-006 related to the Buona Forchetta restaurant and shared parking arrangement.
Associate Planner David Carrillo provided a staff report highlighting the following:
• On December 7th, 2020, the City Council approved Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP) 21-006.
• The approval allowed for one shared parking at the mixed-use development located at 1014 South El Camino to support a 5 Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 6 restaurant with 32 indoor seats and 16 outdoor seats, and indoor and outdoor beer and wine service for the restaurant.
• The City Council included as a Condition of Approval: City staff to report back to the Zoning Administrator 12-months from the date the restaurant commenced operation on the project's conformance with the permits conditions of approval.
• Restaurant began operations on April 2nd, 2024.
An analysis was performed by staff:
• Site visits: Monday, May 5, 2025; Thursday, May 8, 2025; and Saturday, May 10, 2025
• Observations: Upper-level garage was open during business hours, and directional parking signage was posted; however landscaping needs to be maintained for visibility.
• Non-compliant Conditions: Indoor and outdoor seating exceeding the maximum allowed and storage of items in the outdoor dining area.
Summary: Buona Forchetta is partially in compliance with the Conditions of Approval.
Staff has received complaints from nearby residents related to traffic and parking impacts. Staff is recommending that the Zoning Administrator receive and file the report and direct staff on next steps to rectify noncompliant conditions.
ZA Atamian advised that the proceeding was not a public hearing, but a review that was requested by the City Council, and asked those in attendance if they had any comments.
Nick Buchanan, the original developer of the project stated the goal of the General Plan in this particular area was to create a transitional area between Interstate 5 and the Del Mar T-zone featuring spectacular ocean views, attractive mixed-use housing with local serving commercial uses restaurants and hotels.
Matteo Cattaneo, owner of Buona Forchetta stated that they are a small restaurant and they are used to dealing with parking situations and that they do their best to work with everybody and to keep it super clean. Mr.
Cattaneo recognized that they had more than 32 seats inside.
ZA Atamian advised that the review was based on staff's assessment of the business's compliance with the Conditions of Approval, though the public’s comments were reviewed and taken into consideration in terms of public impact. The review identified that the business is currently not in compliance with the Conditions of Approval, specifically regarding the number of seats provided at the restaurant. ZA Atamian stated that based on staff observations, there were 52 indoor seats and 20 outdoor 6 Minutes of the Zoning Administrator Regular Meeting May 8, 2025 Page 7 seats, exceeding the approved numbers (32 indoor, 16 outdoor). There is a process to apply for more seating, but its success is not guaranteed.
ZA Atamian stated that businesses often affect neighborhood parking, but the City can't stop people from parking on public roadways when allowed. The Condition regarding parking information on the website and menu requires the applicant to encourage businesses to provide the information, not ensure it. The matter could be referred back to the City Council for a decision on the permit, or the process can continue.
ZA Atamian did not see a need for code enforcement action at this time, and continued the item to the next meeting and directed the business owner to bring the operations into full compliance by then. ZA Atamian also indicated that part of the next Zoning Administrator meeting will be to determine if this item should be referred to the City Council for potential amendment or revocation if the business cannot maintain compliance, or to determine whether additional periodic reviews of the business’s adherence to the conditions are necessary to maintain compliance. ZA Atamian directed staff to report back to the Zoning Administrator in two weeks at its Special Meeting on June 4, 2025 with another update on Buona Forchetta’s compliance with Conditions of Approval. ZA Atamian requested that the applicant provide staff with necessary information, by Wednesday May 28, 2025, to allow for a complete analysis on the restaurant’s compliance with Conditions of Approval.

A public hearing to request the Zoning Administrator to approve Development Permit (DP) 25-118 to make aesthetic improvements to the front elevation of a residence within the Visual Enhancement Plan are of the Marblehead Coastal Specific Plan’s Master Landscape Plan area. The project would maintain the Spanish architecture and materials on the second story elevations identified in the original Site Plan Permit of the Sea Summit development. The proposed project would modify materials of an existing balcony over the front entrance, add a second balcony over the garage with wrought iron railings, and replace an existing window with recessed bifold doors.
1 Agenda Item: 11B(4)
The Zoning Administrator will also consider whether the project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities).
Assistant Planner Laura Coury summarized the staff report that highlighted the following:
• A wrought iron Juliet balcony will be replaced with a single rot iron guard rail.
• A balcony will be added over the garage with wood corbels and stucco details, enclosed with rot iron guard rails.
• Recessed bifold doors will provide access to the balcony. • In 2023, the design review committee (DRC) discouraged glass railings on residential balconies.
• Architectural changes consistent with the site plan permit could be approved through a building permit, but inconsistent changes require a public hearing.
• Several modifications were recommended in the March 26, 2025 Design Review Subcommittee (DRSC) meeting and the following was incorporated into the project’s design:
• On March 26th, the application was reviewed by the DRSC feedback was requested.
• Mr. Baker and Ms. Kwon explained their selections, noting past approvals of glass railings by the Sea Summit Homeowners Association.
• The DRSC recommended no glass rails, and suggested the use of wrought iron, wood architectural details, and adherence to the 18 ft setback.
• They also recommended deep recess jams for the balcony bifold doors and maintaining the downspout.
Applicant Sam Parsi, Domas Plans was accompanied by the property owners Ray Baker and Jennifer Kwon. Mr. Parsi stated that they did not have anything to add to the staff’s report.
ZA Atamian opened the public hearing and asked staff to explain the reference made of a “legal non-conforming” item in the report. Staff stated that the existing balcony is legal, non-confirming because a small corner encroaches into the setback. ZA Atamian asked if a survey was conducted on the property, and the applicant stated it had not. ZA Atamian confirmed with the applicant that the new balcony will be in line with the existing logia. Staff confirmed with ZA Atamian that the City Planner recommended the project be presented to the Zoning Administrator because of the use of glass in the proposed plan seeking approval. Staff stated that the glass bifold doors and foam molding that replace the window opening are now recessed as recommended by the DRSC to reduce reflection. ZA Atamian confirmed that the Spanish Revival design element is the wood corbels.
2 There being no further questions, ZA Atamian closed the public hearing and determined that the project Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines §15301 (Class 1: Existing Facilities).

Mr. Buchanan summarized the parking garage allocations that concluded that the garage parking is
ZA Atamian reviewed the ten written public comments and addressed issues, as follows:
• Several comments were directed to parking along Santiago; however as stated in the last meeting, parking in the public right-of-way is permitted. • Comments stated that the employees are parking on the streets close to the restaurant.

• A number of concerning parking in red curbs, vehicles waiting idle in alleys, and patrons waiting for tables spilling into the streets are all problematic. ZA Atamian asked staff to form a group consisting of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department to address parking enforcement; the City’s Traffic Engineering staff to address line of sight concerns; and Code Enforcement’s swing shift to patrol periodically, monitor seating, and track seating.
• ZA Atamian asked for another review in four months to determine impacts on street parking as a result of being compliant with occupancy limits.

Sam Parsi, a resident of Dana Point who grew up in Sicily and Italy, spoke in favor of the restaurant. He appreciates authentic Italian food and the hard work of the restaurant staff. He emphasized the need for a wood oven for authentic pizza.
4 Mr. Buchanan stated that two years ago he asked the City Council for space along the curb for food delivery services and deliveries, but nothing has resulted. Principal Planner Rehm added that his discussions with Engineering staff revealed that it was an ongoing discussion with no consensus.
Mr. Buchanan also read sections of City Council Minutes obtained from a recent Public Records Request that referred to when the mixed-use project was first approved for development.

ORDINANCE NO. 1791
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE, CALIFORNIA,
AMENDING EXHIBIT “A” OF CHAPTER 8.22 OF
THE SAN CLEMENTE MUNICIPAL CODE TO
INCLUDE UPDATES TO THE MAP
CLASSIFICATION OF MODERATE, HIGH AND
VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES
WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
WHEREAS, state legislative response to fires led to mandated mapping across California, including under the California Government Code sections 51175-51189, encompassing all Local Responsibility Areas (LRA); and
WHEREAS, the Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps arose from major destructive fires, prompting the recognition of these areas and strategies to reduce wildfire risks; and WHEREAS, California Government Code section 51178 mandates the State Fire Marshal to classify lands within Local Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ); and
WHEREAS, California Government Code section 51178 requires the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the State as moderate, high ,and very high fire hazard severity zones based on statewide criteria and severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas; and
WHEREAS, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been identified by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread; and
WHEREAS, CAL FIRE’s hazard maps are required by law and their purpose is to drive local planning decisions, not insurance decisions. The CAL FIRE maps are not used for insurance rates or underwriting decisions. Instead, insurance companies use their own computerized wildfire risk models to determine which homes to write based on the risk of loss; and
WHEREAS, under California Government Code section 51179(a), local agencies must designate by ordinance the moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones within 120 days of receiving recommendations from the State Fire Marshal, pursuant to California Government Code section 51178; and
WHEREAS, local governments like the City of San Clemente are not permitted to adopt a map to lower the FHSZ ratings designated by the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and can only adopt a map as presented or modify it to raise the rating to a higher threat level; and
1 Agenda Item: 11D

CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Background:
The City pre-purchased a 350kW generator with a 72-hour run sub-base fuel tank and related electrical components is proposed to be installed by the proposed contractor within the City Hall parking lot to provide redundant back-up operating power for the City Hall building, including the OCSD Substation during a power outage.
On April 20, 2021, the City Council accepted a grant, in the amount of $300,000, from the California Office of Emergency Services' Community Power Resiliency Allocation program and allocated the grant to the Orange County Sheriff Department (OCSD) Substation project budget (Attachment 4). On August 16, 2022, the City Council approved a purchasing contract with Caterpillar Inc. (CAT), in the amount of $350,000, for a Standby Generator Equipment and Related Distribution Systems (Attachment 5).
Michael Baker International (MBI) designed and prepared a bid package to install the standby generator and electrical distribution system. The project includes the installation of the 350kW generator, generator distribution switchboard (GDB) along with four automatic transfer switches (ATS) on the north side of the building, associated conduits, cables, and appurtenances.
Staff notified local contractors, and advertised the project for competitive bidding on the Planet Bids website and in the SC Times. Eight bids were received on June 4, 2024, ranging from $357,250 to $1,775,671 (for the Base Bid). The results are presented below.

PC Inc. Santa Maria, CA 720,857 $756,899.80
GCI Construction, Inc. San Clemente, CA 799,500 $808,500.00 Global Power Group, Inc Lakeside, CA 1,775,671 $1,857,421.00 The apparent lowest bid for the base bid amount is Potential Electrical Design Services, Inc. of La Jolla, California, at $357,250. However, they failed to submit the required bid proposal forms (including designation of subcontractors) and failed to submit a bid bond. Therefore, their bid is not responsive bid with the requirements of the Contract Documents and staff recommends that their bid be rejected as non-responsive.
A city generally has the discretion to determine bid responsiveness and may either demand strict compliance with the bid specifications or can choose to waive a defect that is inconsequential or is an immaterial deviation. See Taylor Bus Serv., Inc. v. San Diego Bd. of Educ. (1987) 195 Cal.App.3d 1331, 1343. A bid defect cannot be considered inconsequential or immaterial if it gives the bidder an unfair competitive advantage or benefit over other bidders.
Potential Electrical Design Services, Inc.’s bid was non-responsive in several respects. Staff believes that at least two of the ways that the bid was non-responsive are significant and are recognized as ways that a bid defect could give an unfair competitive advantage to the bidders (specifically, the failure to specify subcontractors and the failure to submit a bid bond).
Accordingly, unless the City Council finds these defects were inconsequential and immaterial, it would not have the discretion to waive them. And, in any event, the City Council has the discretion to demand strict compliance with the bid specifications and find Potential Electrical Design Services’ bid non-responsive, which would appear to be in the best interest of the City and the public in this case. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council demand strict compliance with the bid documents, reject Potential Electrical Design Services, Inc.’s bid as nonresponsive and award the contract to ACE Capital Engineering, Inc. as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
The City received one bid from a local contractor, GCI Construction, Inc., with a base bid in the amount of $799,500. According to the San Clemente Municipal Code section 3.40.030 (E) regarding the Local Vendor Preference for a sealed bid, the maximum preference amount is $150,000. Applying the maximum preference amount, GCI’s base bid is reduced by $150,000 to $649,500. Even with the local preference applied, their bid was not the lowest responsive bid.
Contract Award:
As a public works project, the contract must be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder is ACE Capital Engineering, Inc., of Lake Forest, California.
Based on the lowest base bid and alternate bid items (i.e., additional concrete demolition and repair for $16,179), the estimated construction cost for this project is as follows:
Construction Management and Inspection $40,000
Construction $551,994
Contingency (15%) $82,800
Total Estimated Construction Cost $674,794
93 Meeting Date: June 18, 2024 Agenda Item: 11Q
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
As required by state law and City policy, the Contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds simultaneously with execution of the construction contract (Attachment 2).
Project plans and specifications are on file in the City Clerk’s office.
Council Options:
Adopt Resolution No. 24-107 (Attachment 1), rejecting the apparent lowest bidder’s bid as non-responsive, awarding the contract for the City Hall Standby Generator Addition and Electrical Distribution System Upgrade to ACE Capital Engineering, Inc., and authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract, in the amount of $551,994 plus a 15% project contingency of $82,800.
Modify and adopt Resolution No. 24-107, finding the bid defects immaterial and inconsequential and waiving them, awarding the contract to Potential Electrical Design Services, Inc. in the amount of $447,250, plus a 15% project contingency. Continue the item and direct staff to provide additional information. Do not adopt Resolution No. 24-107 and put the project on hold.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
This Project was previously determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 21084 of the state CEQA Guidelines, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, 14 CCR 21084). A Notice of Exemption was filed with the County of Orange Recorder’s Office on January 26, 2023 for this Project. (See Attachment 3.)

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PARCEL MAP 2023-112, 229 AVENIDA MONTEREY CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION ..body
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Summary:
Avenida Monterey 229, LLC, the property owner and Subdivider of Final Parcel Map 2023-112, has submitted the Final Parcel Map for City Council approval. Staff has confirmed that the proposed Final Parcel Map is in conformance with the approved Tentative Parcel Map. Pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, a legislative body shall not deny approval of a Final Parcel Map if it has previously approved a Tentative Parcel Map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the Final Parcel Map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map. Thus, while the Subdivision Map Act and San Clemente Municipal Code Chapter 16 require City Council action to approve the Final Parcel Map, that action is ministerial.
Background:
Parcel Map 2023-112 contains two residential condominium dwelling units on one 14,339 squarefoot lot (see attached Location Map). The California Coastal Commission approved a De Minimis waiver on May 7, 2025. The Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for the project have been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and the Subdivider has reimbursed the City for the costs of that review as required by the Conditions of Approval. The City Engineer has reviewed and is satisfied with the quitclaims in favor of the City that the Subdivider obtained from all persons having any interest in existing rights of way for pipelines for the conveyance of water, and for all rights to all underground water. The Subdivider has satisfied all other Conditions of Approval that are required prior to Final Parcel Map approval. The only remaining action for satisfying the Conditions of Approval is for the Subdivider to record the CC&Rs, which will be recorded immediately after the Final Parcel Map. Copies of the proposed Final Parcel Map and approved Tentative Parcel Map are available for review at City Hall in the Public Works, Engineering Division.
Council Options:
Adopt Resolution No. 25-89 (Attachment 2), approving Final Parcel Map 2023-112, and accepting the water rights as dedicated.
Modify and adopt Resolution 25-89.
1 Meeting Date: June 17, 2025 Agenda Item: 11F.
CITY OF SAN CLEMENTE
Continue the item and direct staff to provide additional information. Deny Resolution No. 25-89 pursuant to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and the City Municipal Code Chapter 16, Final Parcel Maps require City Council action for approval, denial, or modifications. Per Subdivision Map Act (Government Code section 66474.1), a legislative body shall not deny approval of a Final Parcel Map if it has previously approved a Tentative Parcel Map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the Final Parcel Map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map. The Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 was approved by the Zoning Administrator on September 21, 2023 through Resolution ZA 23-015. See Attachment 3. The Tentative Parcel Map was then amended to remove two Conditions of Approval related to open space and fire lane requirements. The amendment was approved by the City Planner on February 24, 2025. See Attachment 4. Unless the City Council finds that the Final Parcel Map is not in substantial compliance with the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map, approving the Final Parcel Map is a ministerial action.
Environmental Review/Analysis:
This project was previously found categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions) and 15301.k (Class 1: Existing Facilities) in connection with the approval of the Tentative Parcel Map. The approval of a Final Parcel Map is a ministerial action and not a “project” under CEQA.
Recommended Actions:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 25-89, which would:
1. Approve the Final Parcel Map 2023-112 as it conforms to the requirements set forth in the Subdivision Map Act and the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map;
2. Accept on behalf of the City of San Clemente the water rights as dedicated;
3. Authorize and direct the Public Works Director/City Engineer to execute the Final Parcel Map; and
4. Authorize and direct the City Clerk to execute and submit the Final Parcel Map for recordation with the County of Orange Recorder’s Office.

STAFF REPORT
SAN CLEMENTE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
Meeting Date: September 21, 2023
PLANNER: Kyle Webber, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 (TPM 23-224), Kozik Condominium Conversion, a request to consider a duplex
condominium conversion to allow for individual ownership of two dwelling units that are currently under construction and finding the project categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act under Section 15315 of the CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions) LOCATION: 229 Avenida Monterey
ZONING/GENERAL
PLAN:
Residential Medium Zoning District and Coastal Zone Overlay District (RM-CZ)
PROJECT SUMMARY:
x The site is a 14,337 square-foot interior lot with a duplex and attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), currently under construction. Surrounding land uses include single and multi-family residential buildings to the north, east, west, and south and a coastal canyon that borders the site downslope to the southeast. x The RM zone permits one dwelling unit per 1,800 square feet of lot area. The proposed number of two (2) dwelling units would be consistent with the allowable dwelling unit maximum for the underlying zone.. An ADU was included in the duplex construction, ministerially approved by the City through a Coastal In-concept Review (IC), where it was found to comply with development standards relevant to SCMC Section
17.28.270, and therefore is statutorily exempt from CEQA review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15268 (Ministerial Approval).
x The applicant requests to subdivide the airspace of the lot to allow for two condominium units on one (1) legal lot. The proposal would allow for separate ownership of each condominium unit (i.e., Unit 1 and 2) and a portion of common areas. Unit 2, the second-story unit, would assume ownership of the attached ADU (i.e., Unit 3) as mandated by the property’s Deed Restriction prohibiting its sale to a separate party.
x Municipal Code Section 16.04.015(G)(1) requires Zoning Administrator approval of Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) applications for condominium subdivisions. $WWDFKPHQW
7 Kozik Condominium Conversion Page 2
x Municipal Code Section 16.40.010(A)(3) limits condominium conversions in the forthcoming year to a maximum of 25 units, in addition to fifty percent of the yearly average multi-family rental units constructed during the two years immediately preceding the vacancy certification date, provided that the vacancy rate remains at or below ten percent.
x In 2023, the Planning Commission certified an 8.2% vacancy rate and established a maximum of 26 condominium unit conversions for the fiscal year (FY) 2023 (from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024). In FY 2023, no condominium conversions have received approval, making this request the first two condominium conversions for the fiscal year.
x Since the site falls within the Coastal Zone, the project necessitates review and approval from the California Coastal Commission (CCC). A condition of approval mandates that the applicant secure CCC approval before Final Parcel Map approval is granted.
x Per City Housing Element policy, HE-63, a permit allowing the conversion of units within the Coastal Zone that is not categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) must comply with the Mello Act demonstrating no existing affordable housing units will be removed from the housing stock. The two (2) unit duplex and ADU approved on this lot through Building Permit No. 22-1742/1829 and IC permit 20-219, are not occupied and therefore a condominium conversion would not constitute removal of any existing affordable housing. x The project meets required findings for approval because:
o The project is limited to subdividing the lot’s airspace to allow for separate ownership of two condominium units and would not introduce environmental impacts.
o Conditions of approval are included requiring Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to establish maintenance responsibilities over all common areas, including driveways, parking, landscaped areas, walls, private accesses, and drainage. The CC&R’s may include the creation of an Association. o The proposal complies with the Municipal Code, building, health, and safety codes, and other applicable regulations and policies. This includes, but is not limited to, parking and density requirements for condominium subdivisions in the Municipal Code (Title 16).
x The project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions):
o The project involves the subdivision of airspace for two condominium units in an urbanized area zoned for multi-family residential use.
o The project conforms to the San Clemente General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and no variances or exceptions are required.
o All public services and access to the project site are available. o The site was not involved in a subdivision of a larger parcel within the last two years.
o The parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. 8 Kozik Condominium Conversion Page 3
x Due to its location within the Coastal Zone Overlay, the project falls under the purview of applicable policies outlined in the City's certified Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP), necessitating review by the Coastal Commission. The RM zoning designation permits a density of 24 units per net acre, and this site qualifies for 7.8 units based on this calculation. The condominium subdivision aligns with the LUP's general policy GEN6, which stipulates subdivisions must not have adverse effects on community character, compatibility, or coastal resources.
x Public comments have not been received on this item.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the information in the staff report and subject to the required findings and conditions of approval, staff recommends that the Zoning Administrator:
1. Determine the project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions); and
2. Adopt Resolution No. ZA 23-015, approving Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 (TPM 23-224), Kozik Condominium Conversion, subject to conditions of approval.

AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT
FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
UNDER SECTION 15315 OF THE CEQA GUIDELINES
SECTION 15315 (CLASS 15: MINOR LAND DIVISIONS.
WHEREAS, on June 29, 2023, an application was submitted by Justin and Alexandria Kozik, 301 Cazador Lane, Unit B, San Clemente, CA 92672, for Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 (TPM 23-224), and deemed complete on August 24, 2023; a request to consider a duplex condominium conversion to allow for individual ownership of two dwelling units located within the Residential Medium Zoning District and Coastal Zone Overlay District located at 229 Avenida Monterey. The site also includes one attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), approved ministerially, and the property’s existing Deed Restriction mandates that the second-story unit must own the attached ADU, prohibiting its sale to a separate party. The site’s legal description is N TR 785 BLK 1 LOT 21, and Assessor’s Parcel Number 058-104-03; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Division has completed an initial environmental assessment of the above matter in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and recommends the Zoning Administrator determine the project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions). The project involves a two-unit condominium conversion of a duplex in an urbanized area and no exceptions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 are applicable; and
WHEREAS, the City's Development Management Team (DMT) reviewed the proposed project, and staff issued a comment letter on August 7, 2023 to the applicant to ensure compliance with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable City ordinances, codes, and policies; and
WHEREAS, on September 21, 2023, the Zoning Administrator of the City of San Clemente held a duly noticed public hearing on the subject application, considered written and oral comments, and facts and evidence presented by the applicant, City staff, and other interested parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, The Zoning Administrator of the City of San Clemente does hereby resolve as follows:
ATTACHMENT 1
10 Resolution No. ZA 23-015 Page 2
Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals.
The Zoning Administrator hereby finds that all of the facts in the Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated and adopted as findings of the Zoning Administrator as fully set forth in this resolution.
Section 2. CEQA Findings.
Based upon its review of the entire record, including the Staff Report, any public comments or testimony presented to the Zoning Administrator, and the facts outlined below, the Zoning Administrator hereby finds and determines that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15: Minor Land Divisions).
The project is Categorically Exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 (Class 15, Minor Land Divisions) because the project involves the condominium conversion of two dwelling units, for individual ownership, in an urbanized area zoned for residential use. The airspace subdivision is in conformance with the General Plan, Subdivision Map Act, and zoning; no variances or exceptions are required. All public services and access to the proposed condominium units are in conformance with local standards, the parcel was not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous two years, and the parcel does not have an average slope greater than 20 percent.
Section 3. Tentative Parcel Map Findings
With respect to Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 (TPM 23-224), the Zoning Administrator finds as follows:
A. The site is physically suitable for the type of development, in that:
1. The project is limited to subdividing the airspace of a duplex building into two condominium units for individual ownership purposes, while designating one of the unit’s ownership of the attached ADU; and
2. The development is subject to the Zoning Ordinance, building, health, and safety codes, and other applicable regulations and policies. This includes but is not limited to policies and regulations on land use, setbacks, utility connections, easement access, traffic design standards, etc.
B. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development, in that:
1. The proposed density on the site complies with the maximum allowed for properties in the RM zoning district. The zoning district allows a maximum residential density of one unit per 1,800 square feet of lot area. The subject site is approximately 14,337 square feet, with an allowed density of eight units.
11 Resolution No. ZA 23-015 Page 3
C. The design of the condominium conversion or the proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat, in that:
1. The project is limited to subdividing airspace into two condominiums to allow for separate ownership of each dwelling unit, while designating one of the unit’s ownership of the attached ADU;
2. No physical modifications to the site will result from the proposed subdivision; and
3. The site is in a developed residential area served by existing utilities and public services.
D. The design of the condominium subdivision or the type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems, in that:
1. The project is limited to subdividing the airspace of a duplex into two condominiums to allow for separate ownership of each dwelling unit, while designating one of the unit’s ownership of the attached ADU;
2. The proposed subdivision will not entail any physical alterations to the site, as construction on the site associated with the duplex necessitates approval through a Building Permit, which has already been granted; and
3. The site is in a developed residential area served by existing utilities and public services.
E. The condominium subdivision, with its provisions for any design and improvements, is consistent with the General Plan, in that:
1. The project is limited to subdividing the airspace of a duplex building into two condominium units for individual ownership purposes. The project is consistent with the Residential Medium Land Use Designation of the site; and
2. The development is subject to the Zoning Ordinance, building, health, and safety codes, and other applicable regulations and policies. This includes but is not limited to policies and regulations on land use, setbacks, utility connections, easement access, traffic design standards, etc.
3. The project complies with LUP Policy GEN-6, which restricts lot combinations, subdivisions, and mergers that may adversely impact community character, compatibility, or coastal resources. In this case, the airspace subdivision aligns with this policy as it does not alter the community character, and the approved duplex is in harmony with other multifamily developments along Avenida Monterey.
12 Resolution No. ZA 23-015 Page 4
F. The design of the condominium subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that:
1. The proposed project is limited to subdividing a duplex building into two condominium units for individual ownership purposes, while designating one of the unit’s ownership of the attached ADU;
2. Easements have been indicated on the tentative map; and
3. The development is subject to the Zoning Ordinance, building, health, and safety codes, and other applicable regulations and policies. This includes but is not limited to policies and regulations on land use, setbacks, utility connections, easement access, traffic design standards, etc.
Section 4. Zoning Administrator Approval.
Based on the foregoing recitals and findings, and the written and oral comments, facts, and evidence presented, the City of San Clemente Zoning Administrator approves Tentative Parcel Map 2023-112 (TPM 23-224), subject to the Conditions of Approval set forth in Exhibit A.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City of San Clemente Zoning Administrator on September 21, 2023.

SUBJECT: 229 Avenida Monterey, Kozik Condominiums: CC&R Amendment PHP25-080 to amend TPM23-224 (approved via Zoning Administrator Resolution 23-015)
Dear Mr. Kozik,
Thank you for submitting an Amendment to the previously approved Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 23-224 to address the removal of Conditions of Approval 2.6.D and 2.6.I from Exhibit A of Zoning Administrator (ZA) Resolution 23-015. These conditions read:
• COA 2.6.d: A statement indicating that open space on certain lots shall be retained by deed restriction as designated open space in perpetuity and maintained by a Master Association and/or the Sub-association, with no development or encroachment shall be permitted within the designated open space.
• COA 2.6.i: Identification of all fire prevention and defense provisions including: a) a fire lane map; b) provisions which prohibit parking in fire lanes and a method of enforcement; and c) provisions for maintenance of fuel modification zones including the removal of all dead and dying vegetation and the inspection and correction of any deficiencies in the irrigation system three times a year; and a method for keeping fire protection access easements unobstructed. A statement shall acknowledge that approval of the Chief of Fire Protection Services shall be required for any modifications such as speed bumps, control gates, or parking changes
I reviewed these conditions and determined that they could be removed administratively (per San Clemente Municipal Code Section 17.12.180) for the following reasons:
• The language for these particular conditions comes from a standardized list of conditions used for projects that require the creation of a Homeowner’s Association with CC&Rs. However, some of these standardized conditions, such as items D and I, are only appropriate for tract map subdivisions that include land dedications for open space, rights of way, or other publicly necessary uses.
