1 RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST WITH ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
THIS RIDER TO DEED OF TRUST WITH ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS (“Rider”) is attached to and incorporated by reference to that certain Deed of Trust With Assignment of Rents, executed by as “Trustor,” in which FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY is “Trustee,” in favor of the CITY OF SAN DIMAS, a California municipal corporation, as “Beneficiary.” The Deed of Trust, as hereby modified/supplemented by this Rider, is hereinafter referred to as the “Deed of Trust.” All terms which are not defined in this Deed of Trust shall have the meaning given in the Affordable Housing Agreement.

The parties hereto agree:

1. Obligations Secured. Trustor makes this grant and assignment for the purpose of securing the following obligations:
a. Payment and performance of all obligations of Trustor under this Deed of Trust; b. Payment of all obligations of Trustor under the Affordable Housing Agreement; c. Payment of all future advances and other obligations of Trustor or any other person, firm, or entity with the approval of Trustor, may agree to pay and/or perform (whether as principal, surety or guarantor) for the benefit of Beneficiary, when the obligation is evidenced by a writing which recites that it is secured by this Deed of Trust; and d. All modifications, extensions and renewals of any of the obligations secured hereby, however evidenced.

2. No Renting or Leasing. Trustor acknowledges and agrees that Trustor shall occupy the Property as Trustor's principal residence in accordance with the Affordable Housing Agreement and shall not rent or lease any portion of the Property. Nothing in the Deed of Trust including the assignment of rents shall be interpreted or construed to permit the Trustor to rent or lease any portion of the Property.

3. Mortgagee-in-Possession. Neither the assignment of rents set forth in the Deed of Trust nor the exercise by Beneficiary of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property, unless Beneficiary, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Beneficiary or by agreement with Trustor, or the entering into possession of the Property by such receiver, be deemed to make Beneficiary a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise liable in any manner with respect to the Property.

4. Restriction on Transfer of Property; Beneficiary’s Right to Accelerate. In no event shall Borrower transfer any portion of the Property in violation of the Affordable Housing Agreement without the prior express written consent of Beneficiary which consent shall be given by Beneficiary only in the event that Beneficiary determines that the assignee or transferee is an Eligible Purchaser, that the assignee's or transferee's monthly housing payments are at, or less than, an Affordable Housing Cost, and that the assignee or transferee has expressly assumed the Note and the Affordable Housing Agreement by execution of a written assignment document to be provided by the Beneficiary. Violation of the transfer restrictions can result in the acceleration of Note as provided in the Affordable Housing Agreement.

5. No Cure. In the event Beneficiary collects and receives any rents under the Deed of Trust upon any default hereof, such collection or receipt shall in no way constitute a curing of the default.

6. Waiver. No delay or omission by Beneficiary in exercising any right or power accruing upon the compliance or failure of performance by Trustor hereto under the provisions of this Deed of Trust shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by Beneficiary of a breach,

2 default or any other failure of performance by Trustor of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements hereof to be performed by Trustor shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions hereof.

7. Default. Any default under the Affordable Housing Agreement shall be deemed a default under this Deed of Trust.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Trustor has executed this Rider to be effective for all purposes as of the day and year first set forth above.

Prepared by: Anne Moore, Senior Planner
Subject: Tentative Tract Map 24-05 (84582), DPRB 24-14, and Tree Permit 24-28; SB 330 & Density Bonus Law; PROJ-24-0053____________________________ A request to approve the subdivision, filed under SB 330, of one (1) existing parcel into 19 new parcels (TTM 84582) to be developed with a total of 37 detached two-story single-family residences, which include seven (7) affordable housing units in compliance with Density Bonus Law, and the demolition of two residences, garage, barn, and the associated removal of 40 mature trees located at 901 W. Covina Boulevard within the Single-Family 8,000 Zone (APN: 8385- 006-027).
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
The Applicant, Timothy Sales on behalf of RC Homes, is requesting approval to construct 37 detached two-story single-family residences with the associated removal of 40 mature trees located at 901 W. Covina Blvd. within the Single-Family 8,000 Zone. Pursuant to Density Bonus Law, a density bonus of 17 units, exceeding the max density of 20 units, will be granted in exchange for the development of five (5) low-income and two (2) moderate-income units, and various waivers of development standards that would preclude development of the project as proposed will be granted, along with three (3) development incentives to reduce project costs.

The property is currently developed with a two-story Queen Anne style residence built in 1901 with an ancillary barn, and a single-story ranch style residence built in 1964 with an ancillary garage and apartment, which would be demolished as part of the proposed development.

On April 24, 2025, the Development Plan Review Board (DPRB), at a regularly scheduled meeting, recommended approval to the Planning Commission of DPRB 24-14 and TP 24-18 for the demolition of the two-story Queen Anne style residence as well as the design and construction of 37 detached two-story single-family residences along with the associated removal of 40 mature trees.

BACKGROUND
The Applicant, Timothy Sales, on behalf of RC Homes, submitted an application for the construction of 37 detached two-story single-family residences with the associated removal of 40 mature trees and the demolition of a two-story Queen Anne style residence in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map 24-05 (84582) (Attachment 2). The development will be located at 901 W.

Covina Boulevard within the Single-Family 8,000 (SF-8000) Zone.

The subject site measures roughly 3.24 acres in size and is located north of W. Covina Boulevard and south of the Southern Pacific Railroad line, with the New Song Church property to the west and the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates community to the east (Figure 1). In addition, San Dimas High School is located across the street just south of W. Covina Boulevard. The subject W. Covina Blvd.

property is currently developed with a two-story Queen Anne style residence built in 1901 with an ancillary barn, and a single-story ranch style residence built in 1964 with an ancillary garage and apartment (see Attachment 4, Property Photos). The 1901 residential structure and barn are listed on the city’s Historic Resources Inventory (see Attachment 7, Historic Resource Analysis).

On April 10, 2025, the Applicant held a community information session at the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates Clubhouse to inform the residents of the mobile home park community about the project. The Applicant provided an overview of the project followed by a Q & A session for attendees to bring up any concerns or questions that they may have about the project. The Applicant also shared with the community the findings from the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) that was completed for the project and explained the construction phasing plan.

The key takeaways from the community information session were the following:

1. Concerns regarding an increase in traffic along W. Covina Boulevard specifically the public driving into the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates community to make a U-turn;

2. The condition of the existing property line wall particularly along the northern portion of the wall that has some structural damage;

3. Concerns regarding construction noise and debris;

4. Vermin displacement; and

5. Privacy concerns due to all of the units being two-story.

The Applicant acknowledged the above concerns that were raised at the community information session and indicated to the residents that many of their issues of concern are going to be temporary in nature during the construction phase but have been conditioned to further mitigate the residents’ concerns (see No’s 11, 12, 14, 18, 56, and 84). The concern regarding the existing property line wall abutting the mobile home park community will be addressed later in the report (Condition of Approval No. 20). The applicant is also adding one tree in the rear yards of the residences along the east property line that will help privacy concerns.

At its April 24, 2025 regular meeting, the DPRB considered DPRB 24-14 for the demolition of the Queen Anne style residence and ancillary barn that are listed on the city’s Historic Resources Inventory as well as the design and construction of 37 detached two-story single-family residences, and TP 24-28 for the removal of 40 mature trees, and recommended approval to the Planning Commission with the following changes to the conditions of approval (Refer to Attachment 9 for the DPRB minutes):
• Revised tree replacement condition to include the incorporation of a minimum of six (6) Oak trees to be planted along W. Covina Boulevard as part of the required tree replacement.
• Added Condition: The Applicant/Developer shall comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) during the nesting bird season of February 1 through September 15 to ensure impacts to nesting birds and raptors, which may use vegetation on or near the Project site for nesting, during construction would not occur.

The DPRB did not take any action on the Tentative Tract Map as it was not under their purview.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed project site is 3.24 acres in size and is currently zoned SF-8000, as are the two properties to the west of the project site. The property’s Zoning and General Plan designation are Residential; therefore, the project does not require a zone change or a general plan amendment.

The Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also referred to as Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), became effective on January 1, 2020, and had an original sunset clause of January 1, 2025. However, Senate Bill 1489 extended the sunset clause of SB 330 to January 1, 2034. While the project is subject to DPRB and Planning Commission review, since it is being filed under SB 330, the project can only be reviewed against existing objective design standards. Additionally, under SB 330, the project can only be subject to five (5) meetings/hearings before it must be approved. These include DPRB, Planning Commission, and City Council. A continued hearing cous as one (1) meeting.

Density Bonus Law
The property’s current zoning of Single-Family 8,000 (SF-8000) supports twenty (20) units. The project proposes a total of seven (7) residences to be restricted for low- and moderate-income households. Therefore, the project is eligible for a Density Bonus and concessions/waivers pursuant to State Density Bonus Law (DBL) (Gov. Code § 65915 et seq.). The project will reserve five (5) units, or 25 percent of the base unit count of the project (20 du x 0.25 = 5) restricted for Low-income households, which will earn a 50 percent density bonus pursuant to DBL, or 10 bonus units. Additionally, the project will reserve two (2) units, or 10 percent of the base unit count of the project (20 du x 0.10 = 2) restricted for Moderate-income households, which will earn an additional density bonus of 32.5 percent, or 6.5 units, rounded up to seven (7) bonus units. These seven (7) bonus units will be combined with the previous ten (10) bonus units for a total project size of 37 units. The seven (7) affordable housing units would be distributed throughout the entire project site. Additionally, pursuant to Density Bonus law, the applicant will be required to enter into an Affordable Housing Covenant and Density Bonus Agreement (see Attachment 8) with the City, which is required by Condition No. 35.

Table 1: Breakdown of Residential Units
Single-Family 8,000 (SF-8000) Zone 20 units
50% Density Bonus for Low-Income Units 10 bonus units (5 units Low-Income)

32.5% Density Bonus for Moderate-Income Units 7 bonus units (2 Moderate-Income) Total # of Units 37 units
A developer who meets the requirements of State Density Bonus Law is entitled to a density bonus as a matter of right. State Law allows the City to approve an increase in density for affordable housing projects without requiring approval of a General Plan Amendment or Zone Change. In addition to the density bonus, the City is also required to provide incentives or concessions. The City is required to grant concessions which reduce development standards, or remove regulatory constraints which result in increased costs to the developer.

Page 330 ends

TTM 24-05 (84582), DPRB 24-14, & Tree Permit 24-28 Page 5 For the Meeting of July 17, 2025
The number of incentives or concessions that may be requested is based on the percentage of affordable units in the project as outlined below.

No. of Incentives/
Concessions
Very Low Income

1 5% 10% 10%

(20% Moderate allowed)
100% Low/Very Low/Mod

(20% Moderate allowed)
Since the project will reserve five (5) units, or 25 percent of the base unit count of the project (20 du x 0.25 = 5) restricted for Low-income households, the applicant may request up to three incentives or concessions. These concessions must be granted unless the City finds that the proposed concessions do not result in identifiable cost reductions, would cause a public health or safety problem, cause an environmental problem, harm a historical property or would be contrary to law. The City has the burden of proof in the event it declines to grant any requested concession.

However, the State Density Bonus Law does not require that the City grant an incentive that is a request for direct financial assistance or a waiver of fees.

Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, and based on the percentage of affordability included in this project, the applicant is entitled to three incentives or concessions. The applicant has requested three (3) incentives/concessions, which include the following:

1. Reduction in roadway width standards from 54 feet to 34 feet.

2. Replacement trees to be no larger than 15-gallon sized trees.

3. Issuance of demolition, grading, and/or building permits prior to final map recordation.

With respect to the third request above, City Staff is recommending approval of the demolition and grading permit portion of the DBL incentive request. The issuance of building permits under the DBL incentive request would allow commencement of construction of buildings for sale prior to Final Map recordation. This is prohibited by the Subdivision Map Act/Government Code Section 66499.30(a), which provides:
“No person shall sell, lease, or finance any parcel or parcels of real property or commence construction of any building for sale, lease or financing thereon, except for model homes…until the final map thereof in full compliance with this division and any local ordinance has been filed for record by the recorder of the county in which any portion of the subdivision is located.”
Therefore, the building permits may be issued when the Final Map has been filed by the Los Angeles County Recorder’s office for recordation. Condition No. 34 has been incorporated into the project approval identifying the incentives that have been granted to the applicant. In addition to incentives or concessions, density bonus projects are also entitled to waivers of development standards. The City may not apply development standards which would physically preclude the construction of the project at its permitted density. Density Bonus law does provide some discretion when it comes to waivers, but only under specific limited circumstances. Cities must demonstrate, with substantial evidence, that granting the requested waivers would create a specific negative impact on the public’s health and safety that cannot be mitigated. The requested waivers of development standards are discussed later in the report.

Site Layout/Infrastructure Improvements
The residential project will be accessed from W. Covina Boulevard via a new private driveway.

The property currently has two existing driveways, which will be removed. In addition, the existing median U-turn in front of the project site along W. Covina Boulevard will be removed as part of the proposed site access modifications. One new 34-foot wide private driveway will be constructed, which will provide the primary access to the site. The Applicant has already obtained approval from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the proposed site access and will be required to install one public fire hydrant along Covina Boulevard and one private fire hydrant located near the center of the private common driveway. Additionally, a new raised median will be constructed on W. Covina Boulevard to prohibit vehicles exiting the project site from turning left on W. Covina Boulevard. Therefore, access to the Project will be provided only through a right-in, right-out configuration at the proposed project driveway to improve safety and maintain consistent traffic operations along the corridor.

Of the total 37 residential units, 22 of the units will have their own private driveway. These units are all located along the eastern portion of the site abutting the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Estates community and some within the four (4) motor courts. The remaining 22 units are designed to be clustered around four (4) motor courts along the western portion of the site abutting New Song Church (see Figures 2 - 4 & Attachment 3, Project Plans).

Grading and Fencing
The subject site currently sits slightly lower than the adjacent property to the east (Charter Mobile Home Park Estates) and slightly higher than the adjacent property to the west (New Song Church). Site grading will require an estimated import of 2,239 cubic yards. The entrance into the residential development will be designed to be at grade with W. Covina Boulevard. The existing site is comprised of two relatively flat areas at the back and front of the site and a more steeply sloped area in the middle. The lower area was previously utilized by a commercial nursery and the upper area is where the two residences, garage, and barn are located. There is an approximate grade difference of twenty feet from the front (south) property line toward the rear (north) property line. To allow for level lots and proper drainage, the parcels will be graded to be slightly lower along the east property line to prevent any cross drainage to adjacent properties and to allow for proper drainage throughout the development. Consequently, there will be retaining walls constructed at varying heights along the west, north, and east property lines (see Attachment 3, Project Plans). Along the west property line, the retaining wall height will vary from two (2) feet to six (6) feet with a proposed wrought iron fence above. Along the north property line abutting the Southern Pacific Railroad line, there is a proposed retaining wall with a maximum height of three (3) feet and a proposed sound wall with a minimum height of six (6) feet. The Applicant is in consultation with Metrolink and is continuing to review the sound wall issue along the rail right-of-way to ensure that the new residences are protected. The final sound wall height is projected to be up to 12’-0” in height. The height of all wrought iron fencing above the perimeter retaining walls will not be greater than six (6) feet. All proposed block walls will be decorative, tansplit face with matching finish cap.

The plans show the interior fences separating the individual lots along the eastern half of the development fronting onto a motor court will primarily be comprised of white vinyl fencing with a maximum height of six (6) feet. For the residential units located on the western half of the development that have their own private driveway, the interior fences separating the lots will be comprised of 6-foot high white vinyl fencing atop retaining walls of varying heights. Although the plans still show the interior fences separating the individual lots are proposed to be white vinyl fencing, the applicant recently agreed to construct all the interior fences out of tan-split face block, Figure 4 – Conceptual Rendering of residences clustered around a motor court.

the gates will still be vinyl, which staff is agreeable too. Tract housing developments have historically required all walls to be decorative block with gates being constructed with alternative materials. Staff has added Condition No. 13 requiring that all walls be decorative tan-split space block with finished cap.

Concerns were raised at the April 10, 2025, community information session regarding the existing condition of the property line block wall abutting the project and the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Estates community. The Applicant’s structural engineer met staff onsite on April 28, 2025, to visually inspect the existing property line wall. On May 12, 2025, the Applicant’s engineer provided City Staff with a letter indicating that the existing wall damage was observed to likely stem from footing settlement or tree roots with a recommendation that the damaged portion of the wall be replaced/repaired. Staff has added Condition No. 20 to require at a minimum, 30 lineal feet of the northwest corner of the wall between the subject property and the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Estates property be replaced with a new block wall to match the existing wall.

House Design
Three (3) different floor plans are being proposed for the project. Each floor plan is a two-story residence and will have three (3) different exterior treatments; Spanish style, Prairie style, and Farmhouse style, to provide a variety among the residences (see Attachment 3, Project Plans).

Each floor plan will also have an option to have an additional fourth or fifth bedroom on the second floor in lieu of the loft area. Additionally, an area for refuse storage is being provided on the first floor of each plan type within the garage area. The table below provides an overview for each plan. There will be 15 residential units designed as Plan 1, 13 residential units designed as Plan 2, and the remaining 9 residential units designed as Plan 3.

Plan 1 has a layout which provides for 1,812 square feet of floor area, a 61 square-foot front porch, a 48 square-foot rear patio area, and a 477 square-foot two-car garage. Plan 2 has a layout which provides for 2,002 square feet of floor area, a 21 square-foot front porch, and a 459 squarefoot two-car garage. Lastly, Plan 3 has a layout which provides for 2,197 square feet of floor area, and a 472 square-foot two-car garage. Plans 1 & 2 include three (3) bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Plan 3 includes four (4) bedrooms and three (3) baths, with a primary bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in closet.

The bedrooms for each of the three (3) plans are all located on the second floor.

There are three (3) varied color schemes for each of the architectural styles (see Attachment 3, Project Plans), which will help provide some architectural variety throughout the development.

The front elevations of each of the plan types will feature decorative shutters designed appropriately for the three different architectural styles. The Spanish style features an exterior stucco finish with decorative gable end vents, corbels, and arched soffits throughout the house

design. These elements in addition to the S-tile roofing help to break up the building façade. The Prairie style features horizontal lap siding, a hipped roof design, decorative brick veneer wainscot, and wooden porch posts.

Condition No. 35 is incorporated into the project approval identifying all of the waivers that have been granted to the applicant.

Parking
Under the City’s current parking requirements, the project would be required to provide 170 parking spaces. However, the Applicant is providing parking consistent with DBL contained in (Gov. Code § 65915(p)(1), which states that upon the request of the developer, a city, county, or city and county shall not require a vehicular parking ratio, inclusive of handicapped and guest parking, that exceeds the following ratios:

According to the above ratios, if each plan type is built to maximize the number of bedrooms, the project would be required to provide 93 total parking spaces as outlined below:

While Density Bonus law only requires the Applicant to provide a total of 93 spaces, there will be 137 parking spaces provided upon project completion. Parking spaces are distributed throughout the project as shown in Figure 10. These parking spaces are comprised of 74 garage parking spaces, 44 driveway parking spaces, seven (7) noncovered parking spaces located within the motor courts, and 12 parallel parking spaces located along the private common driveway/fire lane.

Tree Removal
The proposed development will require the removal of 143 trees; 40 mature trees and 103 trees which do not meet the minimum size criteria set forth in the San Dimas Municipal Code. Of the 40 mature trees, there are twenty (20) Coast Live Oak, and the remaining twenty (20) trees are comprised of Ash, Fig, Cypress, Olive, Pine, Eucalyptus, Pecan, and Cedar (see Attachment 6, Arborist Report). All the trees need to be removed due to the regrading of the site. In addition, the trees would be in the location of new residences, sidewalk, streets or fences; therefore, removal is required. The Applicant has provided a landscape plan that proposes 82 new trees, each a minimum of 15-gallon in size to be replanted throughout the development (see Attachment 3, Project Plans). The Tree Preservation Ordinance specifies “tree relocation and/or two for one replacement with minimum fifteen-gallon box tree(s), or other replacement of equivalent value and size” be required within the subject property. As part of the Applicant’s incentive request under State Density Bonus Law, the Applicant requested that replacement trees be no larger than 15-gallon sized trees. Staff has granted the requested incentive since the applicant is meeting the tree replacement requirements of two (2) replacement trees for each mature tree removed.

The 82 trees to be replanted are spread throughout the project site, with a minimum of one (1) tree planted in the rear yard of each of the lots abutting the east and west property line. The remaining trees are located along front yard/side yard abutting the private common driveway and along W. Covina Boulevard.

At its April 24, 2025 regular meeting, the DPRB requested a revision to Condition No. 30 to include the incorporation of a minimum of six (6) Oak trees to be planted along W. Covina Boulevard as part of the required tree replacement. The request was made due to the fact that half of the 40 mature trees that are proposed for removal are Coast Live Oaks, and the proposed tree replacements did not include any Oaks. The Applicant agreed to the revised condition and stated that they would work with their arborist on the location of the proposed Oak trees. Additionally, at the request of the Applicant’s CEQA consultant, Condition No. 19 was added to require a

Page 340 ends

TTM 24-05 (84582), DPRB 24-14, & Tree Permit 24-28 Page 15 For the Meeting of July 17, 2025
preconstruction clearance survey if removal of any trees, shrubs, or any other potential nesting habitat were scheduled within the avian nesting season (February 1 to September 15). This will ensure that no nesting birds adjacent to the construction area will be disturbed during construction. If nesting birds are found, an avoidance buffer no less than 300 feet shall be implemented around the nest until all young have fledged and the nest is confirmed by a qualified biologist to be no longer active.

Historic Resource
As mentioned earlier in the staff report, the subject property is currently developed with a twostory Queen Anne style residence built in 1901 with an ancillary barn, and a single-story ranch style residence built in 1964 with an ancillary garage and apartment. The 1901 residential structure and barn are listed on the city’s Historic Resources Inventory. The proposed development of the site for the construction of 37 detached single-family residences will require the demolition of the Queen Anne style residence and ancillary barn on the property. The Applicant submitted a Historic Resource Analysis (see Attachment 7), which evaluates all of the structures on the property for significance and eligibility under the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), and to determine if the property qualifies as a historical resource pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Although the Queen Anne residence appears to be a unique example of a Queen Anne style residence dating to the early days of San Dimas; the building lacks the necessary integrity to make it eligible for the CRHR. The structure has experienced multiple alterations including several additions and porch enclosures, roofline changes, and some window changes over the years. Consequently, the property does not qualify as a historical resource under CEQA.

Condition No. 8 has been included to require the Applicant/Developer to complete a Level II Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) documentation package for the 1901 Queen Anne residence to ensure that the documentation is available for future study as indicated in the submitted Historic Resource Analysis for the project.

ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed for this request; however, the Planning Commission may recommend changes to the project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA guidelines, Title 14, Article 19 Categorical Exemptions, Section 15332, In-Fill Development Projects, Class 32, the proposed Project qualifies for a Class 32 Exemption because the project meets the following five requirements:
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

TTM 24-05 (84582), DPRB 24-14, & Tree Permit 24-28 Page 16 For the Meeting of July 17, 2025
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services The Applicant retained an environmental consultant to prepare an exemption checklist to fully analyze the project in relation to these criteria. The CEQA Exemption Checklist prepared for the project is included as Attachment 5, which further explains how the project qualifies as an infill exemption using relevant technical studies to inform discussion. Based upon the analysis in the attached checklist, the proposed project will not have any potentially significant effect on the environment and is eligible for exemption from CEQA.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Development Plan Review Board
For the Meeting of April 24, 2025
From: Marco Espinoza, Planning Manager
Prepared by: Anne Moore, Senior Planner
Subject: DPRB 24-14 and Tree Permit 24-28
ACCELA PROJ-22-0053; Associated Case: TTM 24-05 (84582) The Applicant, Timothy Sales on behalf of RC Homes, is requesting approval to construct 37 detached two-story single-family residences with the associated removal of 40 mature trees and the demolition of one historic residence located at 901 W. Covina Blvd. within the Single-Family 8000 zone. (APN: 8385-006- 027). The DPRB will only consider the architectural and site planning, the tree removal, and demolition of the historic structure for the project. The tentative tract map will be considered by the Planning Commission and City Council at a future meeting to be noticed as required.
____________________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Development Plan Review Board recommend approval of DPRB 24- 14 and TP 24-28 to the Planning Commission and the City Council, subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov

BACKGROUND
The Applicant, Timothy Sales, on behalf of RC Homes, submitted an application for the construction of 37 detached two-story single-family residences with the associated removal of 40 mature trees and the demolition of one historic residence in conjunction with Tentative Tract Map 24-05 (84582). The development will be located at 901 W. Covina Boulevard within the SingleFamily 8,000 (SF-8000) Zone.

The subject site measures roughly 3.24 acres in size and is located north of Covina Boulevard and south of the Southern Pacific Railroad line, with the New Song Church property to the west and the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates community to the east (Figure 1). In addition, San Dimas High School is located across the street just south of Covina Boulevard. The subject ATTACHMENT 10

property is currently developed with a two-story Queen Anne style residence built in 1901 with an ancillary barn, and a single-story ranch style residence built in 1964 with an ancillary garage and apartment (see Attachment 6, Historic Resource Analysis). The 1901 residential structure and barn are listed on the city’s historic resources inventory.

The key takeaways from the community information session were the following:

1. Concerns regarding an increase in traffic along Covina Boulevard specifically the public driving into the Charter Oak Mobile Home Estates community to making a U-turn;

2. The condition of the existing property line wall particularly along the northern portion of the wall that has some structural damage;

3. Concerns regarding construction noise and debris;

4. Vermin displacement; and

5. Privacy concerns due to all of the units being two-story.

At this time, the Applicant is requesting that the Development Plan Review Board (DPRB) recommend approval of DPRB 24-14 for the design and construction of the 37 detached singlePage 372 – 427 901 W. Covina Blvd Page 3
For the Meeting of April 24, 2025
family residences and TP 24-28 for the removal of the 40 mature trees to the Planning Commission and subsequently to the City Council. The Planning Commission and the City Council will also consider the associated case; Tentative Tract Map 24-05 (84582) to subdivide the subject site into 16 numbered lots and three (3) letter lots. The letter lots consist of two (2) open space lots and one lot as the private street.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed project site is 3.24 acres in size and is currently zoned SF-8000, as are the two properties to the west of the project site. The property’s zoning and general plan designation are residential; therefore, the project does not require a zone change or a general plan amendment.

Since the project does not require a zone change or general plan amendment, as long as it meets the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act for the Tentative Tract Map application, the project cannot be denied. The property’s current zoning supports twenty (20) units; however, the Applicant has submitted a density bonus (SB 330) application, which allows them to develop seventeen (17) additional units in exchange for providing five (5) units that will be rented or sold to low-income households.

While the project is subject to DPRB review, since it is being filed under SB 330, the project can only be reviewed against existing objective design standards. Additionally, under SB 330, the project can only be subject to five hearings before it must be approved. These include DPRB, Planning Commission, and City Council. A continued hearing counts as one meeting.

Site Layout
The residential project will be accessed from Covina Boulevard via a new private driveway. Of the total 37 residential units, 22 of the units will have their own private driveway. These units are all located along the eastern portion of the site abutting the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Estates community and some within the four (4) motor courts. The remaining 22 units are designed to be clustered around four (4) motor courts along the western portion of the site abutting New Song Church (see Figures 2-4 & Attachment 2, Project Plans). The Applicant has already obtained approval from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the proposed site access and will be required to install one public fire hydrant along Covina Boulevard and one private fire hydrant located near the center of the private common driveway.

Grading and Fencing
The subject site currently sits slightly lower than the adjacent property to the east (Charter Mobile Home Park Estates) and slightly higher than the adjacent property to the west (New Song Church). Site grading will require an estimated import of 2,239 cubic yards. The entrance into the residential development will be designed to be at grade with Covina Boulevard. There is an Figure 3 – Conceptual Rendering of View Covina Blvd. entrance into residential development.

Figure 4 – Conceptual Rendering view of residences clustered around a motor court along west property line.

For the Meeting of April 24, 2025
approximate grade difference of twenty feet from the front (south) property line toward the rear (north) property line. To allow for level lots and proper drainage, the parcels will be graded to be slightly lower along the east property line to prevent any cross drainage to adjacent properties and to allow for proper drainage throughout the development. Consequently, there will be retaining walls constructed at varying heights along the west, north, and east property lines (see Attachment 2, Project Plans). Along the west property line, the retaining wall height will vary from two (2) feet to six (6) feet with a proposed wrought iron fence above. Along the north property line abutting the Southern Pacific Railroad line, there is a proposed retaining wall with a maximum height of three (3) feet and a proposed sound wall with a minimum height of six (6) feet. The Applicant is in consultation with Metrolink and is continuing to review the sound wall issue along the rail right-of-way to ensure that the new residences are protected. The final sound wall height may need to be up to 12’-0” in height, but final determination has not been made. The height of all wrought iron fencing above the perimeter retaining walls will not be greater than six (6) feet.

All proposed block walls will be decorative, tan-split face with matching finish cap.

The interior fences separating the individual lots along the eastern half of the development fronting onto a motor court will primarily be comprised of white vinyl fencing with a maximum height of six (6) feet. For the residential units located on the western half of the development that have their own private driveway, the interior fences separating the lots will be comprised of 6-foot high white vinyl fencing atop retaining walls of varying heights.

There are three varied color schemes for each of the architectural styles (see Attachment 3, Color and Material Boards), which will help provide some architectural variety throughout the development. The front elevations of each of the plan types will feature decorative shutters designed appropriately for the three different architectural styles. The Spanish style features an exterior stucco finish with decorative gable end vents, corbels, and arched soffits throughout the house design. These elements in addition to the S-tile roofing help to break up the building façade.

The Prairie style features horizontal lap siding, a hipped roof design, decorative brick veneer wainscot, and wooden porch posts. The Farmhouse style features vertical board and batten siding, decorative stone veneer wainscot, and gable end vents with foam trim that matches all of the windows.

Tree Removal
The San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC) Section 18.162.040 requires that any significant mature trees to be removed receive approval from the Development Plan Review Board. The proposed development will require the removal of 143 trees; 40 mature trees and 103 trees which do not meet the minimum size criteria set forth in the San Dimas Municipal Code. Of the 40 mature trees, there are twenty (20) Coast Live Oak, and the remaining twenty (20) trees are comprised of Ash, Table 1.

Fig, Cypress, Olive, Pine, Eucalyptus, Pecan, and Cedar (see Attachment 5, Arborist Report). All the trees need to be removed due to the regrading of the site in addition, the trees would be in the location of new residences, sidewalk, streets or fences, therefore removal is required. The Applicant has provided a landscape plan that proposes 82 new trees, each a minimum of 15- gallon in size to be replanted throughout the development (see Attachment 2, Project Plans). The applicant is meeting the tree replacement requirements of two (2) replacement trees for each mature tree removed.

The 82 trees to be replanted are spread throughout the project site, with a minimum of one tree planted in the rear yard of each of the lots abutting the east and west property line. The remaining trees are located along front yard/side yard abutting the private common driveway and along Covina Boulevard.

Historic Resource
As mentioned earlier in the staff report, the subject property is currently developed with a twostory Queen Anne style residence built in 1901 with an ancillary barn, and a single-story ranch style residence built in 1964 with an ancillary garage and apartment. The 1901 residential structure and barn are listed on the city’s historic resources inventory. The proposed development of the site for the construction of 37 detached single-family residences will require either the demolition or relocation of the historic resource on the property. The Applicant submitted a Historic Resource Analysis (see Attachment 6), which evaluates the historic resource for significance and eligibility under the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and to determine if the property qualifies as an historical resource pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Although the Queen Anne residence appears to be a unique example of a Queen Anne style residence dating to the early days of San Dimas; the building lacks the necessary integrity to make it eligible for the CRHR. The structure has experienced multiple alterations including several additions and porch enclosures, roofline changes, and some window changes over the years. Consequently, the property does not qualify as a historical resource under CEQA.

ISSUES
Interior fences - The interior fences separating the individual lots are proposed to be white vinyl fencing, staff is requesting that these walls be constructed with decorative tan-split face block to match the project perimeter walls. Tract housing developments have historically required all walls to be decorative block with gates being constructed with alternative materials. Staff has added Condition No. 13 requiring that all walls be decorative tan-split space block with finished cap.

East Property Line Block Wall - Concerns were raised at the April 10, 2025 community information session regarding the existing condition of the property line block wall abutting the project and the Charter Oak Mobile Home Park Estates community. At this time, staff is evaluating the cause of the damage to the walls of which preliminary observation indicates that it’s the root of some of the trees on the subject site that are causing the damage. Staff will work with the applicant to address this issue of concern.

SUMMARY
The California Health and Safety Code establishes a Building Standards Commission, whose duties include approval, codification, and publication of building standards in a triennial edition of the California Building Standards Code, commonly called Title 24, and also establishes a date that these codes become effective throughout the State. The effective date for this triennial edition is January 1, 2026.

The adoption of these codes would regulate the fabrication, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair or other improvements to real property; the maintenance of all buildings or structures in the City of San Dimas; and the provision for issuance of permits and collection of fees, therefore.

At the October 14, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council introduced Ordinance 1331 and set a public hearing for October 28, 2025, to receive input on the proposed amendment.

No

FISCAL IMPACT
The Ordinance, as proposed, adopts a variety of regulatory codes by reference, and updates the San Dimas Municipal Code with the latest California Building & Safety codes, as well as the California Fire Code. As the Ordinance addresses only regulations and policies and not fee schedules, the proposed action entails no fiscal impact. No fees are changed as a result of this Ordinance.

BACKGROUND
The California Health and Safety Code Section mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24, Parts 1 through 12 of the California Code of Regulations) every three (3) years. The 2025 Edition of the California Building Standards Code was published on July 1, 2025, and becomes effective statewide on January 1, 2026. Local agencies may amend the Codes comprising the California Building Standards Code, provided any amendments of building standards are supported by express findings.

At the October 14, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council considered the proposed amendment and after discussing the item, introduced Ordinance 1331 and set a public hearing for October 28, 2025, to receive input on the proposed amendment.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The California Health and Safety Code and Building Standards Commission allows a municipality to amend the administrative sections of the model codes in conjunction with their regular public hearing adoption process. State law allows a municipality to amend the model codes upon making a finding of unique topographic, climactic or geologic features that necessitate such a change.

The administrative amendments proposed this adoption cycle are nearly identical to the last three (3) code adoptions and seeks to adopt the technical aspects of the California codes, as written, with no proposed technical amendments.

ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed for this request.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adoption of these codes can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Thus, the adoption of this Ordinance

Page 390 ends

Building Code Adoption Page 3
For the Meeting of October 28, 2025
is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Respectfully submitted,

Page 403 ends

Ordinance 1331 Page 13
Adopt 2025 Building Codes
It is the intention of the City that all construction carried on under the review of the Building Division is of good quality. The Building Official shall be empowered to enforce the installation of work that is straight, level, plumb, square, etc., as the situation requires. All work shall be well fit and of a durable nature. Paint in all cases shall not be below normal standard for the use applied. The proper grading of walks, drives, and yards shall be required when being installed with the work requiring a building permit. A minimum thickness of 3 ½ inches for flat concrete work and 2 inches for asphalt paving shall be required. All exterior flat concrete work shall include such breaks for expansion as deemed necessary by the Building Official.

Section R108.4.1 "Other inspections" is hereby amended by adding the following language:

A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of the technical codes but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection. To obtain a reinspection, the applicant shall file an application therefore in writing upon a form furnished for that purpose and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by this jurisdiction. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, additional inspection of the work will not be performed until the required fees have been paid.

Appendix AX ("Swimming Pool Safety Act") of the California Residential Code, 2025 Edition, is hereby amended to read as follows:
115922 Construction permit; safety features required.
(a) Except as provided in section 115925, when a building permit is issued for the construction of a new swimming pool or spa or the remodeling of an existing swimming pool or spa at a private single-family home, the respective swimming pool or spa shall be equipped with item 1 below and at least one additional of the following seven drowning prevention safety features:

1. An enclosure that meets the requirements of section 115923 and isolates the swimming pool or spa from the private single-family home.

Any walls of the residential structure or accessory structures used to complete the isolation enclosure must have its door openings equipped with protection as required in item 4 or 5 of section 115922(a). Any such door protection device provided for this purpose may not be used to comply with the second drowning prevention feature requirement.

2. Removable mesh fencing that meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specifications F2286 standards in conjunction with a gate that is self-closing and self-latching and can accommodate a key lockable device.

3. An approved safety pool cover, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 115921.

Page 404 ends

Ordinance 1331 Page 14
Adopt 2025 Building Codes

4. Exit alarms on the private single-family home's doors that provide direct access to the swimming pool or spa. The exit alarm may cause either an alarm noise or a verbal warning, such as a repeating notification that "the door to the pool is open."

5. A self-closing, self-latching device with a release mechanism placed no lower than 54 inches (1372 mm) above the floor on the private singlefamily home's doors providing direct access to the swimming pool or spa.

6. An alarm that, when placed in a swimming pool or spa will sound upon detection of accidental or unauthorized entrance into the water. The alarm shall meet and be independently certified to the ASTM Standard F2208 "Standard Safety Specification for Residential Pool Alarms," which includes surface motion, pressure, sonar, laser and infrared type alarms. A swimming protection alarm feature designed for individual use, including an alarm attached to a child that sounds when the child exceeds a certain distance or becomes submerged in water, is not a qualifying drowning prevention safety feature.

7. Other means of protection, if the degree of protection afforded is equal to or greater than that afforded by any of the features set forth above and has been independently verified by an approved testing laboratory as meeting standards for those features established by the ASTM or the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
(b) Before issuance of a final approval for the completion of permitted construction or remodeling work, the local building official shall inspect the drowning safety prevention features required by this section and, if no violations are found, shall give final approval.

The above amendments and referenced appendices are necessary due to the unique geology and topography and climate of San Dimas that can produce, significant lateral movement due to earthquakes as well as the climate that can produce high wind loads.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of October 28, 2025
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Lauren Marshall, Sr. Management Analyst
Subject: Adopt Resolution 2025-54, Approving Waste Management’s Request to Adjust San Dimas Solid Waste Collection Rates for 2026
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Waste Management has submitted the proposed solid waste rate increase for 2026. The City's Franchise Agreement with Waste Management (Franchise Agreement) allows for an annual rate adjustment based upon a formula factoring in changes to the:
• Consumer Price Index (CPI), and
• Landfill and disposal costs
The annual rate adjustment formula for the 2026 Service Component and Disposal Component (respectively defined below) for residential and commercial customer proposes a 3.23% increase.

Trash rate increases are subject to Proposition 218 requirements. In 2023, the City Council approved a five-year rate adjustment methodology that required citywide mailing notification if the overall rate increase was 5% or more.

In all cases the proposed rate increase must be reviewed by the City Council at a Public Hearing. The Public Hearing for the proposed 2026 Solid Waste Rate Adjustment was noticed in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, and Tuesday, October 21, 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 2025-54 to set solid waste rates effective from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. This action would continue year three of the five-year adjustment plan without requiring a Proposition 218 citywide mailer notification, provided the annual overall rate increase does not exceed 5%.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to all residential and commercial rate payers if this request is approved is a

3.23% increase to the current solid waste rates.

The proposed rate increase was calculated using the methodology below consistent with the provisions of the Franchise Agreement.

Rate Calculation Methodology
Rate Component Annual Change Assumptions
Component Percent Index Change
Service Component (CPI) 3.12%
Disposal1 3.57%
1 The Disposal Component is based upon the actual increase in disposal costs for each of the disposal facilities used and weighted based upon the percentage of waste disposed at each facility.

Total N/A 100% 3.23%
Please note, the Rate Components have been incorporated into rates for both Residential and Commercial customers. This rate adjustment is a formula set within the Franchise Agreement and is based on a ratio of the following two components and further outlined in below:

1. The “Service Component,” which consists of Waste Management’s operational costs to provide service (e.g. trucks, fuel, labor, etc.) and is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI)

2. The “Disposal Component,” which is based on landfill and disposal costs (including organics compliance under new State laws)
Solid waste rates are paid for by residential and commercial properties in the City and are based on meeting disposal and processing compliance measures set forth by the State of California.

Please refer to the rate tables in Exhibit A of Attachment 1 for full residential and commercial rates proposed for calendar year 2026.

Proposed Five-Year Rate Adjustment Method
Prop 218 allows for annual inflationary increases without requiring the full citywide mailing, notification and majority protest process which includes over 10,000 mailings and adds approximately $25,000 in costs to the rate adjustment process. While in all cases a public hearing is required to set the rates, a maximum annual inflationary schedule can be applied to the rates without triggering the full Prop 218 Citywide mailing process. Council may adopt a maximum rate formula for such annual adjustments pursuant to Section 53756 of the Government Code— however, such applied schedule cannot be applied for a period exceeding five (5) years (i.e., January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2028). After the five-year period, any further rate adjustment must go through the full Prop 218 process. Additionally, should any overall increase in any year be 5% or more, a further public hearing and Proposition 218 notice and protest process is required to be conducted at a City Council meeting.

The City Council approved the Five-Year Rate Adjustment method along with the 2024 rate adjustment at the November 14, 2023, rate adjustment public hearing with the condition that the overall increase does not exceed 5%. As a reminder, Waste Management will continue to provide notice of the annual rate adjustment to all solid waste customers at least 30 days prior to the effective date of January 1 each year.

The five-year “automatic” adjustment methodology allows the City to save approximately $100,000 by avoiding having to do a Prop 218 mailing for subsequent years 2 through 5.

In all cases, the annual rate adjustment must be brought before the City Council for a public hearing to review each year. If the proposed rate increase is 5.00% or greater than the public hearing process will include a Proposition 218 notice mailed citywide.

BACKGROUND
In a letter dated September 2, 2025, to the City, Waste Management requested a rate adjustment effective January 1, 2026, and provided the rate adjustment methodology (Attachment 2). This letter outlines Waste Management’s justification for the proposed rate adjustments for both commercial and residential rates.

Franchise Agreement Terms
The City of San Dimas entered into an Amended and Restated Franchise Agreement for Solid Waste Management Services (Franchise Agreement) with Waste Management of San Gabriel/Pomona Valley (WM) on October 31, 2017. The Franchise Agreement included a rate adjustment formula for annual rate adjustments.

Additionally, at the regular September 13, 2022, City Council meeting the City Council approved an amendment to its 2017 Franchise Agreement with Waste Management. The approved amendment shifted the timeline for calculating the Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment for trash rates from an October–September to an August–July schedule.

In June 2025, the City Council approved a second amendment, extending the current Franchise Agreement to 2030. The Second Amendment also shifts the rate calculation period to a June– May schedule and incorporates SB 1383 compliance requirements.

Approve Proposed 2026 Solid Waste Rate Adjustment and Adoption of Resolution 2025-54 For the Meeting of October 28, 2025 Page 4
Each year, a rate adjustment is proposed by Waste Management for City Council approval. The rate adjustment itself is a formula set within the Franchise Agreement and is based on a ratio of 1) the Service Component which is adjusted by Consumer Price Index (CPI), and 2) a Disposal Component based on landfill and disposal costs. The CPI information is obtained from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). The Disposal Component is based upon the actual increase in disposal costs for each of the disposal facilities used and weighted based upon the percentage of waste disposed at each facility.

Staff recommends the City Council hold the public hearing, consider all evidence and testimony presented and adopt Resolution 2025-54 setting the 2026 rate adjustment for solid waste services.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Each year, staff reviews Waste Management’s requested rate adjustment and engages HF&H Consultants LLC (HF&H), an industry expert, to verify its accuracy and compliance. HF&H independently analyzes the submittal for contractual compliance, mathematical accuracy, and consistency with industry benchmarks in comparable jurisdictions.

Based on this joint review, staff and HF&H have confirmed that the 2026 rate adjustment calculations are accurate, comply with the terms of the Franchise Agreement, and reasonably reflect the costs of providing refuse, recycling, and organics services. The proposed adjustment also meets the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218, ensuring that rates remain fair and are directly tied to the cost of service.

The rate proposal has been negotiated to be reflective of Waste Management’s costs of providing their service and proportional as between different ratepayer categories as required by Prop 218.

Furthermore, because the fees are paid directly to Waste Management for their refuse and recycling services (including organics recovery), the fees are (i) used directly by Waste Management for its costs of making such services immediately available throughout the City, and (ii) are not otherwise allocated to other general governmental services outside of those directly attributable to solid waste services (thus satisfying Prop 218’s substantive requirements 2, 4 and 5 listed below).

Prop 218’s substantive requirements include:

1. Revenues derived from the fee or charge must not exceed the funds required to provide the property-related service (in this case, refuse services);

2. Revenues derived from the fee or charge must not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee is imposed;

3. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership must not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel;

4. The fee or charge may not be imposed for a service unless the service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property subject to the fee or charge; and

5. No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services, such as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, where the service is available to the public in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.

Cal. Const., Art. XIII D § 6.

In conclusion and as previously mentioned above, the proposed solid waste rate adjustment of

3.23% is calculated per the Franchise Agreement.

ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the recommendation, the following alternative action is available for the City Council’s consideration:

1. Take other action per City Council direction.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The annual solid waste rate adjustment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15273(a)(1) on the grounds that CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges that are imposed for certain purposes, such as meeting operating expenses, purchasing supplies and equipment, or funding capital projects that are necessary to maintain services within existing services areas.

Adjust Solid Waste Collection Rates for 2026
October 28, 2025
WHEREAS, Proposition 218 and Government Code section 53756 allows the City Council to adopt a formula for adjusting the rates not to exceed five percent (5%), for a period not to exceed five years (“Five-Year Adjustment Formula”); and WHEREAS, the adoption of the Five-Year Adjustment Formula by the City Council is subject to the same procedures as a rate increase; and
WHEREAS, the Five-Year Adjustment Formula was adopted by the City Council on November 14, 2023; and
WHEREAS, a review of the proposed rate adjustment has been completed both by City staff and HF&H Consulting, Inc. to ensure reasonableness and accuracy.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of San Dimas does hereby resolve that:

SECTION 1. The City Council approves the San Dimas Garbage Service’s Rate Adjustment Application to increase the solid waste collection rates by 3.23% as outlined per month for residential and commercial customers in Exhibit A, effective January 1, 2026. The Council hereby ratifies the Proposition 218 process and adopts the refuse rates proposed by Waste Management and pursuant to Proportion 218 finds as follows:
a) Fee for Service Provided Only: Revenues derived from the fee may not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee was imposed. The fees collected are used to pay Waste Management for the refuse collection and disposal services it provides to the City’s residential and commercial customers, and Waste Management’s accrual of direct and unforeseen costs incurred by Waste Management as a result of:

1. Increased costs related to the Consumer Price Index Adjustment of

3.23%;

2. This conclusion is further supported by all findings of fact presented at the City Council hearing, including without limitation those facts stated in the accompanying staff report, all of which evidence is incorporated herein by this reference.
b) Fee not to Exceed Cost of Service: Revenues derived from the fee may not exceed the funds required to provide refuse service. The City’s cost for refuse service is established by its agreement with Waste Management, which permits to recover its actual costs. It is found that Waste Management’s 3.23% increase per month residential and commercial rate increase will not result in more fees being collected than are needed to provide collection services in compliance with state mandates.

This conclusion is further supported by all findings of fact presented at the City Council hearing, including without limitation those facts stated in the accompanying staff report, all of which evidence is incorporated herein by this reference. This conclusion is further supported by all findings of fact presented at the City Council hearing, including without limitation those facts stated in the accompanying staff report, all of which evidence is incorporated herein by this reference. c) Fee Proportionality. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership must not exceed the proportional cost

Page 414 ends

Resolution 2025-54 Page 3
Adjust Solid Waste Collection Rates for 2026
October 28, 2025
of the service attributable to the parcel. To validate both the residential and commercial rate increases proposed, the City utilized HF&H Consultants to conduct an analysis of the rate calculations. The rate proposal has been negotiated to be reflective of Waste Management’s costs of providing their service and proportional as between different ratepayer categories as required by Proposition 218. Any difference between the rates for commercial accounts versus residential accounts are directly reflective of the different costs of providing service to those respective account types (i.e., one ratepayer category is not subsidizing services for another ratepayer category). This conclusion is further supported by all findings of fact presented at the City Council hearing, including without limitation those facts stated in the accompanying staff report, all of which evidence is incorporated herein by this reference. d) Other Findings. Proposition 218 also requires that the fee or charge may not be imposed for a service unless (i) the service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the property, and (ii) the fee or charge is not imposed for general governmental services. Both these findings are met. Because the fees are paid directly to Waste Management for their refuse and recycling services (including organics recovery), the fees are (i) used directly by Waste Management for its costs of making such services immediately available throughout the City, and (ii) are not otherwise allocated to other general governmental services. This conclusion is further supported by all findings of fact presented at the City Council hearing, including without limitation those facts stated in the accompanying staff report, all of which evidence is incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The Council has fully considered this matter and has:
i. Reviewed the information submitted herewith regarding the proposed solid waste service rate adjustment for residential and commercial accounts, the parcels to which the proposed fee adjustment would apply, and the reasons and basis for the adjustment and the fees;
ii. Provided notice of proposed fee adjustments to the record owners (or renters responsible for payment of the fee) of all parcels to which the proposed fee adjustment would apply in accordance with Article XIIID of the California Constitution;
iii. Heard and received all written protests from any owners (or occupants) of real property subject to the fee and found on October 28, 2025 that insufficient written protests were presented to prevent the residential and commercial component of the proposed Waste Management refuse rate schedule from being imposed; iv. Taken and received oral and documentary evidence pertaining to the proposed fee adjustment; and
v. Been fully informed of this matter.

Dear Mr. McKinney:

Pursuant to our Franchise Agreement, Section 22.6.1., WM has completed the rate adjustment methodology for the 2026 rate year. This adjustment is determined by calculating 75% of the service component and 25% of the disposal component. This years’ service component is 3.10% and the disposal component is 3.57%. Based on the calculation, the rate adjustment would be a
