Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of October 8, 2024
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks & Recreation Subject: Adopt Resolution 2024-73 Approving the First Amendment to the Lease Agreement between Vincenzo's Terrazza and the City of San Dimas to Extend the Lease Term by 1 year and Reduce the Monthly Rent to $4,200 for Restaurant Space at the Walker House located at 121 N. San Dimas Avenue. ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The First Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City of San Dimas and Vincenzo’s Terrazza would extend the Lease term by 1 year and reduce the monthly rent to $4,200.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution 2024-73 Approving the First Amendment to the Lease Agreement for Vincenzo’s Terrazza for a 1-year term in the Amount of $4,200.00
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is dependent on City Council action. If the City Council approves the recommended action, the fiscal impact will be a loss of $18,300 in future revenue in 2024, $24,000 in 2025, and $24,000 in 2026. The City will continue to collect monthly rent of $4,200, which will generate annual revenue of $50,400 and sufficient to pay for upkeep of the Walker House.
BACKGROUND
Vincenzo’s Terrazza, Inc. (Tenant) entered into a contract with the City of San Dimas (Landlord) on April 23, 2023, to operate a restaurant in the Walker House. The restaurant provides lunch Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.; brunch on Saturday and
Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement between Vincenzo's Terrazza and the City of San Dimas to Reduce the Monthly Rent to $4,200. Page 2
For the Meeting of October 8, 2024
Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; and dinner Monday - Thursday, 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday night, from 5:00-10:00 p.m. The current Agreement is set to expire April 30, 2026.
For the first six months of the contract, the tenant did not pay rent but was responsible for covering the cost of utilities associated with restaurant operations. As the contract term progressed, the base rent increased gradually, starting at $4,200 on November 1, 2023; increasing to $5,500 February 2024 through April 2024; and rising to $6,300 from May 1, 2025 through April 2026.
In April 2024, Vincenzo’s Terrazza was paying monthly rent of $5,500 when it requested a reduction of $2,000, to $3,500 per month.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The Walker House was within a restaurant since 2020 when its previous occupant shut down operation. Expanding restaurant options remains a priority for residents, so the initial lease with Vincenzo’s was welcomed. Without a restaurant, the City fully incurs the cost of maintaining the Walker House as well as paying for utilities costs to facilitate the continued operation of the San Dimas Historical Society on the 2nd floor. The goal of retaining a restaurant while offsetting the total cost of ownership of the Walker House is in the interest of the City and its residents.
The Tenant identified several obstacles associated with operating in the Walker House that are the basis for her request to lower the monthly rent. These include higher-than-expected utility bills, a downward trend in restaurant spending and the absence of a liquor license provided by the Alcohol Beverage Control (”ABC”). The Tenant is in the process of applying for a liquor license that will allow Vincenzo’s to sell hard liquor that could potentially generate approximately $1,000 per month in revenue.
City staff reviewed financial information related to the restaurant and determined that it is reasonable to accommodate a monthly rent reduction to ensure continued operations of the restaurant. While the City can choose to enforce the current agreement and rental rate, the best interest is to offset cost of maintaining the building while retaining another restaurant in the downtown.
City staff recommends establishing the monthly rent at $4,200 for the duration of the contract, as this is the lowest monthly rent contemplated in the original rental agreement. Implementing this rent reduction would result in a future revenue loss of $18,300 for the City in 2024, $24,000 in 2025 and $24,000 in 2026. The base rent would be subject to CPI increases effective January of each year for the remaining term of the Lease Agreement. Additionally, Vincenzo’s continues to make utility reimbursement payments to the City for all primary utilities serving the restaurant space. Vincenzo’s is also expected to continue generating sales tax revenue for the City in 2024.
With the base rent set at $4,200, annual CPI increases and utility reimbursement payments, these revenues would help cover the ongoing maintenance of the Walker House, including necessary painting of the façade and minor repairs.
Section 4.1(c1) of the Lease Agreement between the City of San Dimas and Vincenzo’s Terrazza provides for Tenant and Landlord to enter into negotiation to evaluate changes to Section 4.1 (Rent) to be effective May 1, 2024. The intent of this provision is to allow the two parties to renegotiate changes to the rent and to re-state Section 4.1. For this reason, staff is recommending that the proposed Amendment 1 be made effective retroactively to May 1, 2024.
Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement between Vincenzo's Terrazza and the City of San Dimas to Reduce the Monthly Rent to $4,200. Page 3
For the Meeting of October 8, 2024
The proprietor of Vincenzo’s Terrazza is confident that she can continue to provide restaurant services in the facility if the rent is lowered to $4,200 per month. If approved by the City Council, the reduction of monthly rent to $4,200 will be effectuated retroactively to begin in May, 2024.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could decide not to extend the term of the Lease Agreement or to reduce the monthly rental rate from $5,500 to $4,200. Under this scenario, Vincenzo’s Terrazza would continue to face financial challenges in operating the restaurant and would be required to continue to pay the current rental rates contemplated in the original Lease Agreement. It is also possible that the restaurant could not sustain operations without the recommended rent reduction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

The Overlay will apply a zoning and general plan land use designation that will allow a density of 16.1 to 25 units to the acre, while the remaining portion of Site No. 14 will remain at 8.1 to 12 units to the acre. The overlay shall be applied to the entirety of Parcel 8386-006-029 and portions of Parcels 8386-006-015 and 8386-010-040 generally described as follows:
Parcel 8386-006-015
The overlay is bounded to the south by the southern property line with a lineal distance of 704 feet; to the west by the western property line starting at the intersection of the southern property and runs north approximately 120 feet north along Amelia Avenue, to the north by the northern end of the parking stalls just south of buildings 28, 26, 23, 21 & 20, then a lineal distance of approximately 112 feet running from the southwest corner of building 20 eastward to the intersection of the planter across from building 20 and the eastern property line; and to the east by the eastern property line starting at the south property line and runs north approximately 260 feet along the eastern property line to a point in line with the landscape planter across from building 20.
See general map attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Parcel 8386-010-040
The overlay is bounded to the south by the south property line with a lineal distance of 705 feet; to the west by the western property line starting at the intersection of the south property line and runs northeast approximately 213 feet; to the north by the northern end of the parking stalls, just south of the laundry room, and buildings 31-34; and to the east by the eastern property line starting at the south property line and runs north approximately 75 feet along Amelia Avenue to the northern end of the parking stalls just south of building 31.
See general map attached hereto as Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the City Council at the hearing, including written or oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Zone Change and Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The proposed amendments will allow additional housing opportunities centrally located near the Downtown and town core areas of the City and adjacent to the Gold Line extension, a high-quality transit facility. Development of this area will require review and approval by the City ensuring the quality proposed multi-family opportunities that will meet
Ordinance 1315 Page 3
Zone Change 24-03, Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-08
Zone Designation Change to Housing Element Site #14
Amend Title 18 in Specific Plan 23
the needs of the City’s residents and will likely increase property values. As with all developments, maintenance of the site will ensure property values are not negatively impacted. To further mitigate any impacts to adjoining properties, development and operational standards have been included to prior code amendments that regulate all multi-family development options including senior citizen housing, and transitional and supportive housing.
B. The proposed Zone Change and Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed amendments, which are required by the City’s Housing Element to be in compliance with State law will further the public health, safety and general welfare by providing residents and the general public with increased housing opportunities. In addition, the amendments will encourage the development of housing sites that require assembly, which may lead to additional housing units and allow the City to meet its RHNA allocation. Lastly, the proposed amendments were previously analyzed as part of the Housing Element update, and future development will be subject to existing regulations and may require additional environmental analysis to mitigate any potential impacts.
C. The proposed Zone Change and Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s Housing Element for the 2021- 2029 planning period. Specifically, the Housing Element includes the City’s Housing Plan which identifies the City’s goals and policies required to address the housing needs of the community, and the and Housing Sites Inventory which identified parcels to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period. In addition, the proposed amendments will be consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
Land Use Element
Policy LU-6.1: Give priority for redevelopment activities to declining areas within the City, particularly the Town Core and Puddingstone Center.
Housing Element
Policy HE-2.1: Adequate Sites. Provide opportunities for new housing that responds to community needs in terms of housing type, cost, and location by providing appropriate zoning and development standards.
Policy HE-2.4: Downtown Housing. Provide and actively facilitate opportunities for the development of mixed use and infill housing in downtown San Dimas as part of the City’s ongoing revitalization strategy for the area.
Policy HE-3.3: Flexibility in Standards. Provide flexibility in development and design standards to accommodate new models and approaches to encourage mixed uses, live/work, accessory dwellings, and other types of housing.

(Ord. 938 § 1 (I (E)), 1990)
Article II
Development Plan
§ 18.538.060 Neighborhood setting.
Specific Plan No. 23, is uniquely located. The project area is predominantly adjacent to the established towncore residential neighborhood. This neighborhood has a rich historical significance to the city in that the first homes built in the city were/are located in this area. To the east and south, the project area joins the Downtown Specific Plan area. This area is of considerable historical and cultural significance to city residents. The project area abuts the railroad right-of-way along the southerly project boundary. Beyond the railroad is the commercial area of Bonita Avenue. Development proposed within the project area should reflect the unique neighborhood setting surrounding the specific plan. (Ord. 938 § 1 (II (A)), 1990)
§ 18.538.070 Site specific conditions.
A. The site has several inherent development challenges. The most significant is the unusual parcel size and property configuration. The proximity of the residential neighborhood, the diagonal approach of the railroad, and limited street frontage are also significant design challenges. The project area is divided into two separate blocks. Thus, development alternatives are reduced because of the divided project area.
B. The proximity of the residential neighborhood is an influential factor on the ultimate site and architectural design of a development proposal. It is important to the city that the towncore neighborhood retain its integrity. Therefore, a site design which is sensitive to the adjoining residential property is extremely important. Also, architecture which reflects a residential character is desirable. The final design consideration is the relationship the project area has with the downtown commercial and residential historic core. (Ord. 938 § 1 (II (B)), 1990)

§ 18.538.080 Existing improvements.
Each of the "blocks" contain existing improvements and land uses. It is recognized that the existing activities within the boundaries of Specific Plan No. 23 are important to the city. The existing improvements which do not conform to the development standards provided within Specific Plan No. 23 shall be allowed to remain and be maintained as long as the existing improvements are not physically expanded beyond their present size, scope or intensity. (Ord. 938 § 1 (II (C)), 1990)
§ 18.538.090 Circulation.
A. Block 1 has street frontage on only one side, along its eastern boundary line facing N.
Eucla Avenue. Block 2 has street frontage on two sides facing east and west, this block also has alley access on along the northern boundary line. All the "blocks" have the railroad right-of-way bordering their southerly project boundary. Project circulation design is very important. Traffic generation shall be monitored, planned and observed. Potential development should be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood. Non-residential circulation access points should be as far away from the residential neighborhood as possible and located where deemed safe by the City Engineer and the Public Works Department. Also, the number of access points from the street should be limited to one, or two at the most, for each "block"; multiple access points are allowed from an alley for residential garages.
B. The access points should be designed to accommodate all forms of project generated traffic. Therefore, the entry design is important from both a functional and aesthetic perspective. To ensure that access points are limited, on-site circulation should be efficiently designed. The long-term parking (for employees) for non-residential uses should be placed in a manner not to conflict with the higher turnover parking demands, such as visitor parking and loading areas. Residential parking should be onsite and convenient for residents and visitors.
(Ord. 938 § 1 (II (D)), 1990)
§ 18.538.100 Planning area—Purpose and intent.
A. The incorporation of the planning area concept into this specific plan creates the opportunity for flexible project design and land uses relative to the unique project characteristics of the specific plan. The creation of the planning area acknowledges that portions of the project area have varying design and use opportunities because of visibility, street frontage, adjoining land uses and location. In this respect, development within the project area would be sensitive to adjoining land uses while maximizing the appropriate development potential within the specific plan.
B. The configuration of the project area creates a logical planning area (see Exhibit A) within the two "blocks." The two "blocks" have direct relationship with the residential neighborhood. These "blocks" also have almost no direct visibility to Bonita Avenue. Also, the railroad and a portion of the A-line bridge creates a physical separation between Bonita Avenue land uses and the project area. Therefore, specialized uses not dependent upon drive-by, impulse patronage are the most appropriate uses for this planning area if developed with industrial uses. If developed with multi-family residential uses, the building can serve as a buffer from the non-residential more intense uses south of the railroad from the single-family residences in the Town Core. The multi-family developments are also a

transition point from the single-family detached developments to the multi-family development and to the commercial uses’ south of the railroad. These types of developments will provide the existing community an opportunity to live in an alternative housing type with less maintenance within a close-knit living environment, without having to leave their existing community.

Article IV
General Development Standards
§ 18.538.140 Streetscape design standards.
This section of identifies three streetscape concepts to be applied along designated street frontages within the specific plan project boundaries. Each concept is intended to address a specific design concern.
A. Acacia Street and Eucla Avenue. These streets are the entrances into the towncore residential area as well as the entrance into the Mixed Use – Residential/Industrial area.
The landscaping concept along these street frontages should appear residential. Such landscaping techniques would include use of lawn for groundcover and ornamental trees.
The entrances into the business park should be treated with low level monument style signage and subdued groundcover.
B. General Landscape Design Standards. The following general guidelines are intended to promote a consistent and careful treatment of street tree plantings and landscaping programs.
1. Unless a formal design is recommended during the design review process, street tree planting should generally consist of random patterns. Interesting tree massing with random spacing are encouraged to provide an undulating and varied streetscape, with view "windows" created at selected points. In some cases, often depending on adjacent architectural styles, a more formal "on-center" spacing of a single tree species may be more appropriate. Whether a formal or informal design concept is used, the selected design concept should be reflected along the entire length or substantial continuous segment of the street.
2. Street trees along Acacia Street and Eucla Avenue should be planted in groundcover, or low shrubs.
3. Landscaping should be intensified to emphasize entries, transitions and destinations.
Entries should be enhanced with tree, shrub and groundcover plantings.
Ordinance 1315 Page 26
Zone Change 24-03, Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-08
Zone Designation Change to Housing Element Site #14
Amend Title 18 in Specific Plan 23
4. All community-wide and common area landscape plantings shall be adequately irrigated and maintained. Automatic irrigation systems should be utilized to insure the continued growth of plant materials.
5. Landscaping should be used to accentuate view windows into commercial office and residential neighborhoods. Trees and shrubs can be planted to frame or screen views selectively.
6. Vegetation of varying heights, textures, and colors should be used in conjunction with walls and fences to define discreet boundaries.
7. Walls and fences should be designed as an integral element of the streetscape design concept, enhancing and complementing the landscaped setback areas.
8. Primary landscape elements should be "mature" specimen, long-lived trees, with perennial shrubs and/or groundcover included where appropriate. Annual flower beds can serve as attractive accent elements, particularly at entry monument locations.
9. Landscape elements should complement architectural design elements. Expansive horizontal and vertical surfaces, comprised of singular materials should be modulated or, interrupted by foliage masses.
10. Within individual projects, trees should be used to define and enclose exterior spaces intended for different activities.
11. Landscaping and architectural features should be used to screen from view certain visually undesirable elements such as parking, storage, loading, refuse containers, utilities and irrigation controls.
(Ord. 938 § 1 (IV (A)), 1990)
§ 18.538.150 Industrial general provisions.
The following standards shall apply to all developments/improvements within Specific Plan No.
23. A. Utilities. All utilities within the project boundaries to serve the uses and buildings therein shall be installed underground.
B. Mechanical Equipment. Roof mounted mechanical equipment including, but not limited to, air conditioning, heating, and ventilating and exhaust ducts, shall be screened from view from any surrounding property, street or highway. Said screening shall be designed in such manner as to appear to be an integral component of the overall building architecture. This can be accomplished by full roof treatments, equipment wells, and architectural design features. Line-of-sight drawings shall be required as a component of all design review submittals to verify equipment screening. Wall or ground mounted equipment shall be enclosed in a manner which incorporates the same materials used in the building.
C. Trash Storage. Enclosed trash storage area(s) built to the city's standard specifications shall be provided in appropriate locations pursuant to city standards.

D. Walls/Fences. Walls shall be permitted and/or required pursuant to the following provisions. All walls shall be constructed of decorative concrete tilt-up or masonry as described in Definitions in this section.
1. Required Walls. Walls shall be required to screen truck and storage areas where allowed by this specific plan. Interior walls may be required by the development plan review board as a component of the design review process. All screening walls shall be architecturally compatible with the buildings within the project and shall incorporate vertical landscaping such as vines, trees and shrubbery. The vertical landscaping elements shall be located on the public right-of-way side to provide visual relief from the horizontal expanse. The height of the screening walls shall be governed by the view shed from the surrounding areas which shall take into consideration the height of equipment and/or trucks to be stored behind said walls.
2. Permitted Walls. Walls shall be permitted on or within all property lines not abutting streets and on or to the rear of all required yard setback lines abutting streets. The height of such walls shall be set by the director of community development after giving reasonable due consideration to alternative screening techniques and devices. Walls not over forty-two inches in height may be permitted within the required setback areas.
3. Corner Cutback Areas. The cutback line shall be in a horizontal plane, making an angle of forty-five degrees with the side, front, or rear property line. It shall pass through a point not less than ten feet from the intersection of the front, side, or rear property line; or ten feet from the edges of a driveway where it intersects the street or alley, as the case may be. a. Streets and Alleys. There shall be a corner cutback area at all intersecting or intercepting streets and/or alleys.
b. Driveways. There shall be a corner cutback area on each side of any private driveway intersecting a street or alley.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at a special and noticed public hearing on September 5, 2024, heard evidence and voted 5-0 recommending that the City Council certify the Final EIR and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and recommended approval to the City Council of Zone Change 24-02, and Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-07, along with General Plan Amendment 24-02; and
WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on September 24, 2024 at the hour of 7:00 p.m. with all testimony received being made part of the public record.
WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully and independently reviewed and considered all of the evidence presented with respect to the Final EIR and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, and Municipal Code Text Amendment and to hear and consider evidence for and against the proposed Project and related actions and to investigate and make findings and recommendations in connection therewith, and voted 5-0 to certify the Final EIR and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and to approve General Plan Amendment 24-02, Zone Change 24-02, and Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-07 utilizing the Reduced Intensity Alternative of the Downtown Specific Plan analyzed in the Final EIR; and
Ordinance 1312 Page 3
Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07
WHEREAS, the Reduced Intensity Alternative of the Downtown Specific Plan would reduce the residential dwelling unit intensity of the Transit Village subarea from 40 units per acre to 30 units per acre, resulting in 196 fewer dwelling units, and would allow for a potential residential development of 3,185 residential units within the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Council at the hearing, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, the City Council now finds as follows:
A. The proposed Amendments will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.
The proposed amendments will create the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP), a planning document that will guide the City’s growth through development and redevelopment of the downtown area over the next 20 years. The DTSP will establish planning and zoning framework that will encourage innovative, transit-oriented development while preserving the character of the historic town core. The plan would allow new housing, retail, mixeduse, employment, entertainment and hospitality uses within the project area, oriented around the new A-Line light rail station. In addition, the plan will include development standards, land use regulations and design guidelines to ensure quality and responsible development of the downtown area. The boundaries of the DTSP and the document’s development standards were strategically created to provide protections to existing singlefamily neighborhoods and other adjoining properties. In addition, the proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s Housing Element and will help complete the rezoning of the City’s Housing Inventory Sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period. Lastly, the goals of the DTSP are aimed at encouraging a broader mix of land uses, while maintaining the human-scale and historic character of downtown, improving the economic base of the City, creating vibrant and safe public spaces encouraging new residential development, and providing a variety of mobility options for the first and last mile connections to the future A-Line Light Rail transit station, which will improve the areas within the DTSP, which will benefit the City as a whole and not be detrimental to the any area.
B. The proposed Amendments will further the public health, safety and general welfare.
The proposed amendments will facilitate the approval and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP), which is intended to build upon and reimagine the City’s downtown by breathing additional life and activity into the commercial center of the City by proposing new housing, retail, mixed-use, employment, entertainment, and hospitality uses to activate the area. In addition, as required per CEQA guidelines, an Environmental Impact Report was prepared for the Project to asses all the potential impacts from the Project. Impacts related to cultural resources, geology and soils, noise, and tribal cultural resources were determined to be significant prior to mitigation and less than significant with implementation of proposed mitigation measures. Impacts related to air quality impacts associated with construction and operational emissions with implementation of the proposed DTSP would not be able to me mitigated to less than significant. However, it’s important to note that air quality thresholds are developed by SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) for evaluation of individual development projects and, for this reason, the emissions estimated for plans like the DTSP will usually exceed these thresholds. Furthermore, the DTSP is a planning document to guide development
Ordinance 1312 Page 4
Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07
and no specific development projects are proposed at this time. The DTSP would not directly enable or entitle construction or development activities and all future development within the proposed DTSP area will be subject to existing regulations, including adopted air quality standards, and subsequent environmental review under CEQA.
In addition, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The City finds that “specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the Final EIR." Therefore, while the Project would result in impacts related to Air Quality, due to SCAG’s methodology, the CEQA findings, attached as Exhibit B to Resolution 2024-68, approved separately, provides the rationale for carrying out the Project.
C. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the General Plan.
The proposed amendments, which consist of amending the land use designations of various parcels within the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP), and amend Title 18 to create a new Downtown Specific Plan chapter for the creation of a new DTSP, and amend Chapter 18.140 Creative Growth Zone, along with associated clean up items a required, will allow the DTSP to be implemented. The proposed DTSP will be consistent with and expand upon the existing Downtown Mixed Use land use designation which is intended to provide a flexible land use in certain areas near the downtown area to provide the ability for developments that will strengthen the downtown area by including housing with commercial and office developments. The proposed amendments will be consistent with the Downtown Mixed Use land use designation by encouraging ground floor, pedestrian oriented, commercial, services and office uses with upper floors of residential uses. In addition, the proposed amendments are consistent with the City’s Housing Element and will complete the rezoning of the City’s Housing Inventory Sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period. Lastly, the proposed amendments will be consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
Land Use Element
Policy LU-6.1: Give priority for redevelopment activities to declining areas within the City, particularly the Town Core and Puddingstone Center.
Policy LU-6.1.2: Encourage office and mixed uses to increase the day time population of Downtown to support the retail and service establishment such as restaurants and other businesses in Downtown.
Policy LU-6.1.3: Encourage night time activity such as restaurant and entertainment in Downtown.
Policy LU-9.1.3: Direct future development in a cohesive manner and promote the visual identity of the City’s important districts such as the Town Core, Civic Center, and Downtown.
Ordinance 1312 Page 5
Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07

Policy HE-2.2: Mixed Use. Promote the efficient use of land by encouraging commercial and residential uses on the same property in both horizontal and vertical mixed-use configurations.
Policy HE-2.4: Downtown Housing. Provide and actively facilitate opportunities for the development of mixed use and infill housing in downtown San Dimas as part of the City’s ongoing revitalization strategy for the area.
Policy HE-3.3: Flexibility in Standards. Provide flexibility in development and design standards to accommodate new models and approaches to encourage mixed uses, live/work, accessory dwellings, and other types of housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. ADOPTION. Zone Change 24-02 amending the zoning designations as set forth in Exhibit B, and Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-07 amending Title 18 as set forth in Exhibit C, subject to compliance with Conditions in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, are hereby adopted.
SECTION 2. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdication, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 3. CEQA DETERMINATION. The City Council hereby finds and determines pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), that the City prepared a Draft EIR for the proposed Downtown Specific Plan and was circulated for a 45-day public/responsible agency review on June 7, 2024 through July 22, 2024 and was also made available for review on the City’s website at www.sandimasca.gov. The City subsequently prepared a Final EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15088 and 15132, which includes the Draft EIR, Response to Comments, Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program, as well as appendices of the aforementioned documents.
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines, no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant environmental effects of the project unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for each of those significant effects, accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The Final EIR has identified that impacts related to Air Quality would be significant and unavoidable with imposition of all feasible mitigation, and pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15091 the City has found that “specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the Final EIR" and provide the rationale for

Exhibit A
Conditions of Approval for
General Plan Amendment 24-02, Zone Change 24-02, and Municipal Code Text Amendment 24- 07 to amend the land use and zoning designations of parcels within the boundaries of the proposed Downtown Specific Plan, and to amend Title 18 to create a chapter for the creation of a new Downtown Specific Plan and associated clean up items as required.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the San Dimas Downtown Specific Plan Project is included in the Final EIR, and are intended to ensure the successful implementation of the mitigation measures. The mitigation measures consist of:
Air Quality Mitigation Measures
1. MM AQ-1: Conduct project specific air quality analysis. The City shall require future projects that are subject to discretionary approval and that are not found to be exempt from CEQA review to evaluate potential air quality impacts as part of project-level CEQA analysis and implement respective mitigation measures to minimize impacts that exceed SCAQMD thresholds.
2. MM AQ-2: Prior to the issuance of any construction related permits, the Project Applicant shall prepare and implement a worker training program that describes the potential health hazards associated with Valley Fever, common symptoms, proper safety procedures to minimize health hazards, and notification procedures if suspected work related symptoms are identified during construction. Additionally, this training program shall include worker training on the implementation requirements of the SCAQMD approved Dust Control Plan.
Copies of the training program shall be provided to the City of San Dimas Planning Division. The worker training program shall identify safety measures to be implemented by construction contractors during construction. These measures shall include the following:
a. HEPA-filtered, air-conditioned enclosed cabs shall be provided on heavy equipment when available. Workers shall be trained on the proper use of cabs, such as turning on air conditioning prior to using the equipment; b. Communication methods, such as two-way radios, shall be provided for use by workers in enclosed cabs;
c. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as half-mask and/or full-mask respirators equipped with particulate filtration, shall be provided to workers active in dusty work areas upon request;
d. Separate, clean eating areas with hand-washing facilities shall be provided for construction workers;
e. Equipment, vehicles, and other items shall be cleaned before they are moved offsite to other work locations.
3. MM AQ-3: Construction Equipment. The project applicant for individual developments or projects envisioned in the DTSP shall ensure the following requirements are incorporated into applicable bid documents, purchase orders, and contracts. Contractors shall confirm the ability to supply the compliant construction equipment prior to any ground-disturbing and construction activities:
a. Mobile off-road construction equipment (wheeled or tracked) greater than 50 hp used during construction of the project shall meet the U.S. EPA Tier 4 final
Ordinance 1312 Page 8
Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07
standards. In the event of specialized equipment use where Tier 4 equipment is not commercially available at the time of construction, the equipment shall, at a minimum, meet the Tier 3 standards. Zero-emissions construction equipment may be incorporated in lieu of Tier 4 final equipment. A copy of each equipment’s certified tier specification or model year specification shall be available to the City upon request at the time of mobilization of each piece of equipment. b. Mobile off-road construction equipment less than 50 hp used during construction of the individual projects shall be electric or other alternative fuel type. A copy of each unit’s certified tier specification or model year specification shall be available to the City upon request at the time of mobilization of each applicable unit of equipment.
c. Electric hook-ups to the power grid shall be used instead of temporary diesel- or gasoline powered generators, whenever feasible during construction of development or projects envisioned in the DTSP. If generators need to be used, the generators shall be non-diesel generators.
4. MM AQ-4: Before occupancy of new structures within the Project Site, the applicant for an individual development project within the DTSP Area must provide to the Director of Community Development of the incorporation of low-emission technology including solar water heaters, air-source heat pump, natural gas, and/or gas boosted solar as deemed appropriate by future project specific analysis.
Cultural Resources Mitigation Measures
5. MM CUL-1: Historical Resources Evaluation. During review of applications for individual development projects in the DTSP area, the City shall confirm the presence of historical resources with the potential to be impacted by the proposed project. If the property on which the project or development is proposed is not currently designated but contains built environment features over 45 years of age, a historical resources evaluation shall be prepared by an architectural historian or historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) in architectural history or history (36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 61). The qualified architectural historian or historian shall conduct an intensive-level survey and perform the historical evaluation in accordance with the guidelines and best practices promulgated by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP). Properties shall be evaluated within their historic context and documented in a report meeting the California OHP guidelines. All evaluated properties shall be documented on California Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms.
The report with attached DPR forms shall be submitted to the City for review and concurrence.
6. MM CUL-2: Prior to obtaining a building permit for any structure that would modify a structure included on the City’s list of historic resources, a Historical Resource Documentation Report shall be prepared by an architectural historian or historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) in architectural history or history (36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 61) that demonstrates that all modifications will be designed and implemented in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings and/or the State Historical Building Code, as appropriate.
Geology and Soils Mitigation Measures
Ordinance 1312 Page 9
Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07
7. MM GEO-1: Unanticipated Discovery of Paleontological Resources. In the event an unanticipated fossil discovery is made during project development, work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall be stopped, and a qualified professional paleontologist shall be retained to evaluate the discovery, determine its significance, and identify if mitigation or treatment is warranted. Significant paleontological resources found during construction monitoring shall be prepared, identified, analyzed, and permanently curated in an approved regional museum repository. Work around the discovery shall only resume once the find is properly documented and authorization is given to resume construction work.
Noise Mitigation Measures
8. MM N-1: Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Applicant for a development project in the DTSP area or their designee shall develop a Construction Noise Reduction Plan to minimize construction noise at nearby noise sensitive receptors. The Construction Noise Reduction Plan shall be developed in coordination with a certified acoustical consultant and the Project construction contractors and shall be approved by the City of San Dimas. The Construction Noise Reduction Plan shall outline and identify noise complaint measures, best management construction practices, and equipment noise reduction measures. The Construction Noise Reduction Plan shall include, but is not limited to, the following actions:
a. Construction equipment shall be properly maintained per manufacturers’ specifications and fitted with the best available noise suppression devices (i.e., mufflers, silencers, wraps, etc.).
b. Noise construction activities whose specific location on the DTSP area may be flexible (e.g., operation of compressors and generators, cement mixing, general truck idling) shall be conducted as far as feasibly possible from the nearest noise sensitive land uses.
c. If feasible, schedule grading activities so as to avoid operating numerous pieces of heavy-duty off-road construction equipment (e.g., backhoes, dozers, excavators, loaders, rollers, etc.) simultaneously in close proximity to the boundary of properties of off-site noise sensitive receptors surrounding the DTSP area to reduce construction noise levels by approximately 5 to 10 dB. d. Shroud or shield all impact tools, and muffle or shield all intake and exhaust port on power equipment to reduce construction noise by 10 dB or more. e. Where feasible, temporary barriers, including but not limited to, sound blankets on existing fences and walls, or freestanding portable sound walls, shall be placed as close to the noise source or as close to the receptor as possible and break the line of sight between the source and receptor where modeled levels exceed applicable standards. Noise barriers may include, but is not necessarily limited to, using appropriately thick wooden panel walls (at least 0.5-inches think). Such barriers shall reduce construction noise by 5 to 10 dB at nearby noise-sensitive receptor locations. Alternatively, field-erected noise curtain assemblies could be installed around specific equipment sites or zones of anticipated mobile or stationary activity. The barrier material is assumed to be solid and dense enough to demonstrate acoustical transmission loss that is at least 10 dB or greater than the estimated noise reduction effect. These suggested barrier types do not represent the only ways to achieve the indicated noise reduction in dB; they represent examples of how such noise attenuation might be attained by this measure.

Approving ZC 24-02, MCTA 24-07
f. Implement noise compliant reporting. A sign, legible at a distance of 50 feet, shall be posted at the Project construction site, providing a contact name and a telephone number where residents can inquire about the construction process and register complaints. This sign will indicate the dates and duration of construction activities. In conjunction with this required posting, a noise disturbance coordinator will be identified to address construction noise concerns received. The contact name and the telephone number for the noise disturbance coordinator will be posted on the sign. The coordinator will be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise and will notify the County to determine the cause and implement reasonable measures to the complaint, as deemed acceptable by the City.

C-G CREATIVE-GROWTH ZONE
18.140.010. Purpose.
The purpose of the creative growth area plan is to promote amenities beyond those expected under conventional planning and development, represented by a commitment to a special architectural theme. This theme was expressed by the city council on August 24, 1970, as "early California village," which represents architectural styles circa 1890's. Developers are required to adopt this theme, in an architecturally creative approach to developing the most marketable and compatible uses possible in this central business district. To implement this plan, specific areas are further defined to integrate compatible uses while maintaining flexibility in commercial investment decisions.
18.140.020. Specific plan.
The creative growth area plan (hereinafter referred to in this chapter as the "plan") is an instrument for guiding, coordinating and regulating the development of property within the area designated in Exhibit A of this Ordinance. on the area map (hereinafter referred to in this chapter as the "area map"), a copy of which map is on file in the office of the city clerk.
The plan replaces the usual zoning regulations. It is a "specific plan" as authorized in Article 8 of Chapter 3 of the state Planning and Zoning Law.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total expenditure for this contract is $300,182.00 for the Fiscal Year 2024-2025, and $150,000 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to be funded through Fund 01 and Fund 02. If the optional two-year extension is approved an annual amount of $150,000 will be funded at the time of contract extension.
Funds for the striping contract will be budgeted each fiscal year. The fiscal year budget for 2024- 2025 includes striping maintenance of $150,000 and Traffic striping cost of $150,182.00 for Construction Contact 2024-07 Slurry Seal Project – Various Streets Zone 6 and 9 which was authorized by City Council during its June 25, 2024, Council Meeting.
The project budget for Fiscal Years 24/25 through Fiscal Years 27/28 would be as follows:
FY 24-25 Traffic Striping for Slurry Seal Project Maintenance Zones 6 and 9
$150,182.00
FY 24-25 Citywide Striping and Marking Maintenance $150,000.00 FY 25-26 Citywide Striping and Marking Maintenance $150,000.00 Total of Initial Term Through June 30, 2026 $450,182.00 FY 26-27 Citywide Striping and Marking Maintenance $150,000.00 FY 27-28 Citywide Striping and Marking Maintenance $150,000.00 Total if Extended Additional 2 Years $300,000.00
BACKGROUND
The City’s annual maintenance contract includes painting, repainting, removal and layout of traffic markings & striping on an as needed basis throughout the city. Maintenance of Traffic Striping is important to maintain and increase vehicle and pedestrian safety. The city is divided into ten geographic maintenance zones to schedule and maintain streets in a cost-effective and efficient way. This contract would allow maintenance of approximately two zones per year. The current Traffic Striping Maintenance contract with Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. expired on August 30, 2024.
City of San Dimas Ordinance 1270 § 2, 3.28.120 (E) allows for a "piggyback" contract allowing the city to processed through another local, state, or federal governmental agency or a cooperative purchasing entity set up by or utilized by such governments or public agencies, and where the piggyback contract has gone through the competitive bidding process of that entity.
Staff recommends entering into a contract with Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. piggybacking on the City of Orange’s Formal Bid for the Annual Traffic Striping, Pavement Markings, and Raised Pavement Markers Installation Project that was received and opened on August 10, 2023.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
This project will allow for the repainting of traffic striping & markings in approximately two maintenance zones as well as repainting several municipal parking lots and streets that may receive pavement preservation treatment under a separate contract. The contract will also allow for modifications or additions to traffic striping & markings that occur as part of normal traffic engineering activities; including as needed striping work throughout the city. At its June 25, 2024,
Award of An Annual Striping Maintenance Contract to Superior Pavement Markings Inc.
For the Meeting of October 8, 2024 Page 3
meeting, Council also authorized $150,182 for traffic striping in this year’s slurry project CC 2024- 07 for Zones 6 and 9 as part of the Slurry Seal Project.
The maintenance contract would be effective upon execution of an approved contract and would expire on June 30, 2026, with one optional two-year extension contingent upon contractor performance. If the contract is extended, the extension would be memorialized in an amendment to the contract commencing on July 1, 2026, and terminating on June 30, 2028. Renegotiation of the amount and unit prices may be initiated by the City or the contractor if and when the contract is extended, with price increases limited to the consumer price index (CPI). The total costs are shown as not to exceed amounts. All maintenance work to be completed under this contract will be paid per the contract unit rates.
In late September, staff received a public inquiry listing concerns about piggybacking pavement striping services. Staff consulted with the City Attorney’s office to review the Striping Maintenance Contract. This contract meets the definition of “maintenance” work under Public Contract Section 22002, which exempts the following from public bid requirements:
1. Routine, recurring, and usual work for the preservation or protection of any publicly owned or operated facility for its intended purposes.
2. Minor repainting.
3. Resurfacing of streets and highways at less than one inch.
As pavement striping and markings are primarily paint and thermoplastic which are less than 3/8 inch; all three conditions apply. The contract does not require formal bidding under the Public Contract Code or the San Dimas Municipal Code. However, the annual striping maintenance contract was formally bid by the City of Orange, with Superior Pavement Markings being the lowest responsible bidder. Therefore, by piggybacking on the City of Orange maintenance agreement the contract meets public bidding standards. Staff recommends moving forward with awarding the contract. The specific concern that was brought forth referred to Public Contract Code Section 20118 which applies narrowly and specifically to school districts and has no meaning or relation to the purchasing requirements of cities.
Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. is the current traffic striping contractor and has successfully completed similar maintenance work for the City of San Dimas. It was confirmed through the State Contractor's License Board that the contractor's license # 776306, Class C32, C31, C61/D38, C61/D42 is current and active with an expiration date of August 31, 2025. The contractor is registered through the Department of Industrial Relations as required by law (Registration No. 1000001476).
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may choose to not authorize the Maintenance Contract with Superior Pavement Markings, Inc. The project could be formally bid as a maintenance contract instead of utilizing an existing piggyback agreement. This may delay traffic maintenance, result in higher prices received and would result in an increased administrative cost to the City.

For the Meeting of October 8, 2024 Page 4
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Staff evaluated and determined that maintenance of traffic striping is categorically exempt per CEQA under the “Class 1” (14 CCR §15301) exemption. This is considered maintenance of an existing infrastructure; no modifications to traffic flow and no additional vehicle travel lanes will be created.
Respectfully submitted,

PROPOSAL
TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE:
In compliance with the notice inviting bids, plans, specifications and other contract documents for the construction Bid No. 23-24.01; Project SP-4260; Annual Installation of Traffic Striping, Pavement Markings, and Raised Pavement Markers the undersigned has carefully examined: the location of the proposed work, character, quality and quantity of work to be performed, conditions to be encountered, materials to be furnished and as to the requirements of the plans, specifications and other contract documents; agrees that submission of a proposal shall be considered prima facie evidence that the bidder has made such examination; and proposes to furnish all labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete the work in accordance with said plans, specifications and other contract documents at the following unit or lump sum prices set forth in the schedule.
If awarded the contract, the undersigned agrees to commence the work under the contract within ten (10) days after the date of contract, and complete said work for Project SP-4260, within three hundred sixty-five calendar days from the first day of commencement of such work unless legal extension is granted in accordance with the terms set forth in the specifications.
The undersigned agrees that the foregoing estimate of quantities of work to be done and materials to be furnished are approximate only, being given as basis for the comparison of bids.
The undersigned agrees that the City will not be held responsible if any of the approximate quantities shown in the foregoing proposal shall be found incorrect, and shall not make any claim for damages or for loss of profits because of a difference between the quantities of the various classes of work as estimated and the work actually done. If any error, omission or miss-statement shall be discovered in the estimated quantities, it shall not invalidate this contract or release the undersigned from the execution and completion of the whole or part of the work herein specified, in accordance with the specifications and the plans herein mentioned and the prices herein agreed upon and fixed therefore, or excuse him from any of the obligations or liabilities hereunder, or entitle him to any damages or compensation otherwise than as provided for in this contract.
The undersigned agrees that the City shall have the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any bid item or portion of the work or to omit portions of the work as may be deemed necessary or expedient, and that the payment for incidental items of work not separately provided in the proposal shall be considered included in the price bid for other various items of work.
Accompanying this proposal is ($ )
NOTICE: Insert the words "Cash", "Certified Check", or "Bidder's Bond", as the case may be, in an amount equal to at least 10 percent of the total bid price, payable to the City of Orange to guarantee that the bidder will, if awarded the contract, promptly execute such contract in accordance with the proposal and in the manner and form required by the contract documents, and will furnish good and sufficient bonds for the faithful performance of the same.
The undersigned deposits the above named security as a proposal guaranty and agrees that it shall be forfeited to the City of Orange as liquidated damages in case this proposal is withdrawn by the undersigned and the undersigned shall fail to execute a contract for doing said work and to furnish good and sufficient bonds in the form set forth in the specifications and contract documents of the City, with surety satisfactory to the City within 15 days after the bidder has received written notice of the award of the contract; otherwise, said security shall be returned to the undersigned.
P-2
Bidder hereby declares in writing, under penalty of perjury that all employees who will be performing labor, maintenance, delivery, installation or repair, will be those who are legally entitled to live and work in the United States. Further, the bidder as employer agrees to provide documentary proof of such eligibility (when requested by the City of any other authorized entity or agency).
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items. The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item. In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price; (b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage wise the unit price or item total in the City of Orange Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular.
Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in the discretion of the City of Orange, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the City of Orange, to best protect the public interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the City of Orange respecting the amount of a bid, or the existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.

SECTION 5 - UTILITIES
5-1 Location
Location of utilities shown on plans shall be considered approximate only. Contractor shall carefully excavate in the vicinity and shall locate all utilities shown on the plan. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to existing utilities shown on the plan, regardless of exact location.
