FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
It is the policy of the City of San Dimas to invest public funds in a manner that will provide an optimal combination of security and investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

The priority objectives of the City’s investment activities are as follows: Safety, liquidity and returns.

The City’s investment portfolio as of January 31, 2026 maintained liquid cash in the amount of $16,961,404.73 held between BMO Harris, the City and LAIF and the CALTRUST Liquidity Fund which amounts to just over 21% of the portfolio to provide the cash flow necessary for City payroll and operating expenditures as well as large capital project expenses and unforeseen

emergencies that may occur throughout the year. The following chart displays the total investments and weighted average yield per investment category:

The City’s Banking Services Provider BMO Harris provides a fully collateralized checking account whose funds are used to make cash payments for City payroll and operational expenses. The City performs daily bank reconciliations to assure adequate cash is held in the checking account for upcoming expenditures. Cash held in the account earns income credits that accumulate at a rate of .75% which offsets banking service charges that are charged each quarter to the City. As of June 10, 2024, the City opened a collateralized money market account BMO Harris.

Petty Cash is held at City facilities for cashiering purposes and to reimburse small dollar expenditures between $0.01 and $50.00.

The Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) is considered a Local Agency Investment Pool and acts much like a money market account. Funds can be deposited and withdrawn without penalty.

The pool invests funds in short-term securities and can produce returns at rates like money markets but is considered more secure.

CALTRUST is a public agency that provides investment funds that are liquid, short term, and medium term. The assets held by CALTRUST are managed by State Street Global Advisors.

Since the City first invested with CALTRUST in August of 2010, buying into the Medium-Term Fund. The City has made various contributions throughout the years as well as reinvested any accumulated interest earnings throughout the life of the fund.

In total, the weighted average cost of investing in CALTRUST is $9.99. Currently due to increasing interest rates driving market rates down for assets already held, the share price of the fund as of January 31, 2026, was $9.92. Until interest rates decline to the point that share price would increase to $9.99 or above, the City would be recognizing a loss on sale. However, the City could pull out funds at any time if liquidity needs arose.

Beginning in the month of December 2023, the City opened a liquid fund with CALTRUST which is not subject to market rate adjustments due to the type of investments utilized. The fund yielded

3.80% for the month of January. Because the rate has now dropped below LAIF and the Mediumterm fund, nearly the entire amount of the funds invested in the liquidity account have been moved to either LAIF or the Medium-term fund within CAL TRUST.

The City Treasurer also utilizes Brokers to purchase investment securities such as Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds), Corporate Bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Negotiable CD’s.

As investments get purchased, a broker money marker will be used for the transition time between investments maturing and becoming available cash for reinvestments.

The investment policy and California Government Code Section 53600.3 allows the City to invest 30% of its portfolio in Certificates of Deposit and 20% of its portfolio in Corporate Bonds through Brokers. U.S. Treasuries and Government Sponsored Enterprises (Agency Bonds) have no investment limits; however, it is considered a best practice not to invest more than 5% in a single Government Sponsored Enterprises.

The following is a breakdown of the total invested in each type of investment along with its percentage of the portfolio:

Additionally, per the Investment Policy, the City has an established maturity matrix with the investment ranges as follows:

The weighted average maturity for all City investments is 1.70 years, as short term yields have fallen the City has shifted to investing in longer term investments in order to lock in current rates which are projected to fall in the coming years based on the messaging of the President and his Fed Chair selection.

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Travis Sais, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Approve a Letter of Support for AB 1786 (Harabedian) ____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
The attached letter formally supports Assembly Bill (AB) 1786 (Harabedian), which was recently introduced by California State Assemblymember John Harabedian. This legislation is being sponsored by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and seeks to extend existing best value construction contracting authority to cities and certain infrastructure focused joint powers authorities, creating consistency with procurement tools already available to counties.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve a letter of support for AB 1786 (Harabedian)
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:

No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

BACKGROUND
On February 18, 2026, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) notified the City of its sponsorship of Assembly Bill (AB) 1786, a bill recently introduced by California State Assemblymember John Harabedian. The SGVCOG is requesting a letter of support from the City by February 27, 2026, for AB 1786, to ensure the City’s position is recorded ahead of the upcoming State Assembly policy committee hearing.

Approve a Letter of Support for AB 1786 (Harabedian) Page 2 For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
Under existing law, California counties are authorized to utilize "best value" procurement for construction projects exceeding $1,000,000. This framework establishes specific procedures and criteria for selecting contractors based on a combination of qualifications and cost, rather than price alone, and requires bidders to verify project information under oath.

AB 1786 seeks to extend this authority to cities and certain infrastructure-focused Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs). By doing so, the bill creates consistency in procurement tools across local government agencies, allowing cities the same flexibility as counties to prioritize high-quality outcomes and contractor expertise for complex construction projects.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Under existing law, general law cities like San Dimas are typically required to award construction contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. While this traditional “low bid” model is effective for straightforward projects, it can be challenging for complex capital projects.

The low-bid framework prioritizes immediate cost over long-term value and risk mitigation. It can limit the City’s ability to weigh critical factors such as technical expertise, safety records and performance history.

AB 1786, as introduced, would provide the City with an optional procurement best value tool, which would allow the City to evaluate objective qualifications along with price. By selecting the contractor offering the best overall combination of price and qualifications, the City could better address challenges of the construction environment, including material cost volatility, skilled labor shortages, and grant performance deadlines.

For San Dimas, this best value tool could be beneficial for projects involving complicated phasing, utility coordination, or sensitive community impacts, which can lead to reduced risk, schedule reliability and quality outcomes. The City could utilize this tool for major arterial street rehabilitations, such as the upcoming Badillo Street et al. Road Improvement Project (estimated at over $2.5 million) and the Arrow Highway Street Improvement Project (estimated at over $2 million).

Furthermore, AB 1786 maintains public notice requirements and requires clear documentation of award decisions. It is important to note that the City would retain full discretion to continue using the traditional low-bid method whenever it is deemed most appropriate.

By aligning city procurement tools with those already utilized by counties, AB 1786 provides flexibility to safeguard taxpayer resources and deliver high-quality construction projects. For these reasons, staff recommends that the Council approve the attached letter of support.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to send a letter, but this would mean missing an opportunity to formally record the City’s position prior to the upcoming State Assembly policy committee hearing.

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.

SUBJECT: AB 1786 (Harabedian): Best Value Contracting
City of San Dimas – Notice of Support
Dear Assemblymember Harabedian:

The City of San Dimas writes to support AB 1786, which extends existing best value construction contracting authority to cities and certain infrastructure focused joint powers authorities, creating consistency with procurement tools already available to counties.

Cities across California are responsible for delivering increasingly complex capital projects, including transportation improvements, water and sewer infrastructure upgrades, public safety facilities, parks, stormwater systems, and affordable housing developments. These projects are often funded through layered financing structures that combine local revenue, state grants, federal appropriations, and bond proceeds. They are delivered in a construction environment marked by material cost volatility, skilled labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and heightened schedule pressures tied to grant deadlines and performance requirements.

Under current law, general law cities are generally required to award construction contracts to the lowest responsible bidder. While that framework remains appropriate for many projects, it can constrain a city’s ability to account for important risk factors when delivering large scale or technically complex infrastructure projects. Lowest bid procurement may limit the ability to meaningfully evaluate contractor experience with similar projects, demonstrated capacity to manage complex staging or coordination requirements, safety performance history, and longterm value considerations.

245 East Bonita Avenue ∙ San Dimas ∙ California 91773-3002 ∙ (909) 394-6200 ∙ Fax (909) 394-6209  sandimasca.gov The City could utilize this tool for upcoming major arterial street rehabilitations, such as the Badillo Street et al. Road Improvement Project (estimated at over $2.5 million) and the Arrow Highway Street Improvement Project (estimated at over $2 million).

AB 1786 provides cities with an optional procurement tool that allows objective qualifications to be evaluated alongside price through a transparent and competitive process. Best value contracting does not eliminate competition or bypass accountability. Instead, it establishes clear evaluation criteria, maintains public notice and bidding requirements, requires documentation of award decisions, and preserves reporting obligations and a sunset date. Cities would retain full discretion to continue using traditional lowest responsible bidder procurement where appropriate.

For projects involving complicated phasing, sensitive community impacts, coordination with utilities and outside agencies, or heightened safety concerns, best value contracting can reduce the risk of delays, litigation, change orders, and cost escalation. By selecting the contractor offering the strongest overall combination of price and qualifications, cities can better safeguard taxpayer resources, improve schedule reliability, and deliver higher quality outcomes for residents.

AB 1786 provides essential consistency between counties, cities, and qualified regional delivery entities while maintaining transparency and legislative oversight. We are pleased to support this legislation.

Sincerely,

No

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. The project was initially presented to the City Council on October 27, 2020, as fully funded by monetary and in-kind donations from local rail enthusiasts and volunteers. However, volunteers have not raised sufficient funds to complete the renovation of the historic cantilever signal. The City Council has not committed any funding to the completion of the project.

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026

BACKGROUND
At its meeting of January 27, 2026, the City Council received an update on the project to restore a historic Santa Fe cantilever railroad signal and caboose and relocate them to the San Dimas Railroad Museum in Rhoads Park. During this meeting, the City Council asked staff to return to a future meeting to include the presence of volunteer project coordinator, Paul LaCiura.

The City Council also asked the following questions:

1. What happened to the caboose that was to be donated to the City of San Dimas? The caboose that was to be donated was located in a railyard in the City of Commerce and required funding to transport it to the City of San Dimas. The donation of the caboose was contingent upon the Pacific Rail Society agreeing to pay for ongoing maintenance of the equipment once the caboose was fully restored and displayed. The Pacific Rail Society and the donor of the caboose could not reach an agreement to transport and maintain the caboose. Consequently, the caboose was donated to another entity and is no longer available for display in the City of San Dimas.

2. What is the revised timeline to complete the project? Mr. LaCiura anticipates six months to raise funds to complete the project. During the six months of fundraising, Mr. LaCiura anticipates securing in-kind donations from rail contractors to complete various portions of the rehabilitation of the cantilever signal and the installation in Rhoads Park. Once fundraising is complete, Mr. LaCiura estimates two (2) weeks to complete the actual rehabilitation of the equipment and to install the display next to Rhoads Park.

Mr. LaCiura is working with the Pacific Railroad Society to establish a ”GoFundMe“ webpage to solicit donations. The lack of a GoFundMe page to accept donations has been the impediment to raising funds to complete the project. While the San Dimas Historical Society initially established a GoFundMe account for the project, the page is no longer operational. Nevertheless, the bank account opened by the Historical Society remains open and available to accept donations.

3. Has volunteer coordinator LaCiura approached the BNSF or Pacific Railroad Society for funding?
Yes. Mr. LaCiura is approaching the following organizations to solicit cash and in-kind donations to complete the project:
• Santa Fe Historical and Modeling Society
• Pacific Railroad Society
• Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society
• Southern California Railway Museum
• San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society
• Railway and Locomotive Historical Society
• National Railway Historical Society

• Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
• Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority
• Kiewit Construction (former construction firm on the Gold Line Extension) • Parsons (new design firm on the proposed Gold Line Extension to Claremont) • Mott MacDonald
• Metrolink
• LA Metro
• Drilling and Foundation Contractors on Gold Line
• Rigging Contractor on the Gold Line project that helped with the salvage operation

4. Has volunteer coordinator LaCiura asked anyone at the Pacific Rail Society if they support the planned display of the signal and cantilever next to the museum? Yes. Mr. LaCiura has met with the Pacific Rail Society to discuss the potential display of the cantilever and rail signal next to the City’s rail museum. He reports that the Pacific Rail Society is very supportive of the project. Although the Pacific Rail Society was unable to reach an agreement regarding the ongoing maintenance of the caboose that was to be donated, the Society is supportive of displaying the cantilever and rail signal next to the City’s rail museum.

5. In the event it is no longer feasible to complete the project in San Dimas, which other cities are interested in receiving the equipment for renovation and display? If the City of San Dimas is no longer interested in displaying the cantilever and rail signal or not enough funding is raised, the Pacific Electric Historical Society that is based in Pasadena, California, would renovate and display the equipment in the City of Pasadena.

6. Do you have to deliver the cantilever and rail signal to another city if the City of San Dimas decides not to proceed with the project?
Yes.

At its meeting of October 27, 2020, City staff presented a proposal from Paul LaCiura, a local rail enthusiast and civil engineer, to relocate a historic Santa Fe Railroad cantilever signal to the San Dimas Railroad Museum in Rhoads Park. The project cost was estimated at $50,000. No City funds were requested by Mr. LaCiura to complete the project. Mr. LaCiura was to raise the funds needed to complete the project without any contributions from the City of San Dimas. The City Council directed staff to continue exploring the salvaging, restoration, and re-construction of the historic cantilever signal at Rhoads Park and to return at a future date with additional analysis addressing potential unforeseen fiscal impact, risk assignment, and project coordination between the City and private party entities.

The cantilever signal was removed during the construction project to build out the metro line, which removed much of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Railroad infrastructure which played an important role in railroad history and had a significant impact on the development of San Dimas and the San Gabriel Valley. The historic signal was constructed in 1915 and was located at Pasadena Avenue in Glendora. The cantilever signal is to be placed on the west side

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
of the historic track outside the
Railroad Museum, centered on the
track section, with the signal head
facing in an appropriate northeast
direction. The ultimate direction of the
signal head would be adjusted
perpendicular to the Gold Line
alignment to prevent any
misinterpretation of the signal aspects.

At its meeting of April 13, 2021, the
City Council acted to accept the
donation of the historic cantilever
railroad signal from the Metro Gold
Line Foothill Extension Construction
Authority. The City Council accepted
the donation of the historic cantilever
and signal with the understanding that
the cantilever and signal would be
stored temporarily at Horsethief
Canyon Park until they could be
salvaged, restored and relocated to Rhoads Park, where they would be displayed near the Pacific Rail Depot Railroad Museum.

All work is to be completed by a team of volunteers and contractors led by Mr. LaCiura and funded from donations for the project. Mr. LaCiura is responsible for soliciting all donations ($50,000) to pay project expenses. The restoration process includes sanding, strengthening the structural members, updating the electrical wiring, painting, and replacing bulbs and hardware so that the signal could function as a lighted display. This work is required to comply with applicable building codes, ensure that the signal can be displayed safely and to maximize its aesthetic value.

At its meeting of September 28, 2021, the City Council acted to accept an additional donation of a vintage caboose that would have required renovation prior to being displayed near the City’s rail museum in Rhoads Park. However, staff has learned that the caboose is no longer available to be donated to the City of San Dimas for display. The City Council also directed staff to provide project coordination, review submitted construction plans and provide additional analysis on the proposed display of the restored amenities for the City Council’s final approval at a later date.

Fundraising Plan – Project leader Paul LaCiura is responsible for all fundraising to complete the project. At its meeting of September 20, 2022, the City of San Dimas Historical Society voted to support the project and to open a bank account to facilitate fundraising with a goal of $50,000.

The Historical Society also paid to create a ”Go Fund Me” webpage to facilitate the solicitation of donations by Mr. LaCiura. The bank account contains $1,625, which includes a donation of $25 from a private citizen and $1,600 from a nonprofit organization that is now defunct. No funds were received through the Go Fund Me webpage and the page is no longer operational. The Historical Society is no longer interested in supporting this project. Nevertheless, the Historical Society continues to maintain the bank account that contains a fundraising balance of $1,625 that is available for Mr. LaCiura’s use.

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
As previously discussed, the total project budget identified by Mr. LaCiura is $50,000 to restore and install the historic railroad signal on the cantilever. However, Mr. LaCiura is offering the City a less expensive option to complete the renovation and display of the signal light without including the historic cantilever as part of the project. This would allow Mr. LaCiura to complete the renovation of the historic rail signal for approximately $5,000 instead of $50,000.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
Project Update, 2026- The plans to restore and install the cantilever signal were completed by Mr. LaCiura and approved by City staff on March 22, 2023. Mr. LaCiura donated his time as a registered civil engineer to design the plans (approximate value of $20,000). While the entire renovation project was to be completed by August 2022, slower-than-expected fundraising has delayed the start of the actual renovation project. Additionally, the final plans will require review by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) prior to starting construction. Mr.

LaCiura is responsible for obtaining the approval of the SCRRA.

Since April 13, 2021, staff has continued to provide
project coordination and perform additional analysis as required to facilitate the historic cantilever signal project at the Pacific Rail Depot. As of the writing of this report, the cantilever railroad signal continues to be stored at Horsethief Canyon Park and work has not begun on the
restoration. As previously discussed, the caboose is no longer available for this project. It is unclear when Mr.

LaCiura will raise $50,000 to begin the renovation of the cantilever and railroad signal.

Scaled Down
Project- Mr. LaCiura is presenting an alternative scaleddown version of the project for the City Council’s consideration. The project would still include the restoration and display of the historic rail signal only, without the cantilever at a cost of approximately $5,000. If the City Council is interested in pursuing the display of the signal only (i.e. without the historic cantilever and mast section), Mr. LaCiura will continue fundraising until he has raised a total of $5,000 to complete the project. Mr. LaCiura estimates that it will take one month to complete the renovation and installation of the signal at Rhoads Park once sufficient funds are raised.

ALTERNATIVES

1. No Changes to Project – The City Council could elect to allow Mr. LaCiura to continue fundraising until $50,000 is raised to complete the project. The timeline for completion of the renovation of the historic cantilever signal is unknown and would depend on Mr. LaCiura’s ability to raise funds.

Receive and File the Progress Report on the Project to Restore a Historic Santa Fe Cantilever Railroad Signal and Caboose and Relocated them to the San Dimas Railroad Museum in Rhoads Park Page 6
For the Meeting of February 24, 2026

2. Establish a Deadline to Complete Fundraising – The City Council may wish to establish a deadline for Mr. LaCiura to raise all funds needed to complete the project. Under this scenario, the project will proceed as initially presented provided that Mr. LaCiura is able to raise sufficient funds to complete the project by the City Council’s deadline. City staff recommends a deadline of November 30, 2026, to complete all fundraising. In the event sufficient funds are not raised by the deadline, Mr. LaCiura will be responsible for transporting the cantilever and rail signal to Pasadena to enable the Pacific Electric Historical Society to complete the renovations and display the equipment in Pasadena. Funds to transport the cantilever and rail signal to Pasadena would come from funds that Mr. LaCiura raised to complete the project.

3. Accept Scaled Down Project – As noted above, the City Council could authorize Mr. LaCiura to proceed with a scaled down project that includes the restoration and display of the signal light without the cantilever mast. Significant savings can be achieved by renovating the signal lights without renovating and displaying the cantilever mast. The renovated signal light could be displayed adjacent to the City’s rail museum as planned. Under this scenario, Mr. LaCiura would be responsible for removing the cantilever mast that is being stored at Horsethief Canyon Park.

The budget for the scaled down project is $5,000.

4. Allocate Funding for Staff to Complete the Project – The City Council could allocate $120,000 and direct City staff to complete the project. Staff increased the budget for this scenario to reflect the cost of paying all contractors prevailing wage and costs related to the City’s procurement process. Under this scenario, City staff would develop scopes of work and hire contractors to complete the renovation work and display the rail amenities near the City’s rail museum, as planned. As the plans for the project are complete and have been accepted by staff, staff would prioritize the completion of this project while taking into account other, more critical Public Works projects.

5. Discontinue the Project - The City Council could decide that it is no longer feasible to continue with the project. Under this scenario, project volunteers would identify another city to accept the donation of the historic cantilever signal and City staff would work with project volunteers to transport the cantilever from its current location at Horsethief Canyon Park to a new storage site.

Mr. LaCiura has indicated that the City of Los Angeles has shown interest in displaying the renovated historical equipment at Griffith Park. Similarly, the City of Pasadena has expressed interest in displaying the historical equipment.

Subject: Approve Resolution 2026-15 and Introduce Ordinance 1335 to Amend the Contract with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to Include PEPRA Language
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
The attached ordinance would amend the City’s contract with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to include required Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) language.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve Resolution 2026-15, a resolution of intention to approve an amendment to the contract between the Board of Administration California Public Employees’ Retirement System and the City Council of the City of San Dimas
• Introduce Ordinance 1335 authorizing an amendment to the contract between the City Council of San Dimas and the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.

Approve Resolution 2026-15 and Introduce Ordinance 1335 to Amend the Contract with the California Public Employees’ Retirement System to Include PEPRA Language Page 2 For the Meeting of February 24, 2026

BACKGROUND
The California Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) became effective in January of 2013 to address unfunded public pension liabilities across the state. PEPRA introduced significant structural changes to the retirement and health benefits of CalPERS members, including the establishment of compensation limits and the categorization of members into “new members” and “classic members”.

As part of PEPRA, in 2013 CalPERS implemented state-mandated benefit formulas that increased minimum retirement ages and reduced benefit multipliers for all “new” miscellaneous (non-safety) and safety members. As defined by PEPRA, “new” members include: i) those who are new hires who have joined CalPERS for the first time on or after January 1, 2013 and who have no prior membership in another California public retirement system and ii) those who joined CalPERS prior to January 1, 2013, but after this date are hired by a different CalPERS employer following a break in service of more than six months.

At the time of PEPRA’s implementation, no formal contract amendment was required for CalPERS contracting agencies because PEPRA’s requirements apply as a matter of state law. However, since then, CalPERS is now requesting that contracting agencies formally update their agreements to reflect PEPRA compliance. According to CalPERS records, the City of San Dimas has not yet executed this formal amendment to incorporate the required statutory language.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
CalPERS contacted the City at the end of 2025 requesting the City consider amending the retirement contract with CalPERS to incorporate the specific language reflecting the statutory provisions outlined under PEPRA.

Updating the retirement contract to include PEPRA provisions is essential for legal compliance, administrative consistency, and transparency. While PEPRA reforms have been in effect since 2013, older contracts lack specific references, creating risks of confusion, disputes, and potential litigation. Aligning contract language with current CalPERS practices ensures accurate benefit administration, simplifies audits and personnel decisions, and provides clarity for employees and stakeholders. This update reflects best practices already adopted by many public agencies, mitigating legal and financial risks while promoting clear communication and operational efficiency.

CalPERS is requesting that all outstanding agencies execute these formal amendments within the next year. The first step in this process is for the Council to adopt a Resolution of Intent and conduct a first reading of the ordinance amending the CalPERS contract. The ordinance will return for second reading and adoption on March 24, 2026. Approving this amendment is an administrative update that ensures the City’s contract accurately reflects the current legal requirements and retirement tiers already in practice.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could elect not to amend the agreement; however, this would result in the City not being in compliance with CALPERS regulations and can increase the likelihood of costly misunderstandings or litigation related to pension benefits.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
From: Brad McKinney, City Manager
Prepared by: Anne Moore, Senior Planner
Subject: Introduce Ordinance 1334, a Municipal Code Text Amendment (MCTA) 25-07, amending Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and amend Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market, and Adopt Resolution 2026-16, Approving Precise Plan (PP) 25-01, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 25-03, and Development Plan Review (DPR) 25-17; applications for the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the Via Verde 76 Gas Station convenience store located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 (SP-17) and the Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO). The existing footprint of the building will remain the same (APN: 8396-017-025). This item is Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301.
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Several development Applications were submitted by the new owner of the Via Verde 76 Gas Station located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue, requesting an expansion of the sales floor area of the existing convenience store. The service station is located on the northeast corner of Via Verde and San Dimas Avenue, within the Specific Plan No. 17, Area I, and Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO).

The proposed expansion of the convenience store would require an amendment to the Municipal Code. The new owner subsequently submitted a request to amend Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 squarefoot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. While the amendment to Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 would only affect

MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, DPR 25-17 Page 2
For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
the existing property and not any other gas stations in the City, the amendment to Chapter

18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage would affect all gasoline or service stations city-wide.

A Precise Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Development Plan Review applications have also been filed for the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store.

On January 15, 2026, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-1704, recommending approval to the City Council of MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, and DPR 25-17.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council:
• Read by title and introduce Ordinance 1334 (Attachment 1) • Adopt Resolution 2026-16 approving Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03 & Development Plan Review 25-17, and find the project categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Title 14, section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action. However, with the increased sales floor area of the accessory convenience store associated with the existing gasoline service station, there is potential that additional sales tax revenue will be generated for the City.

BACKGROUND
Specific Plan No. 17 (SP-17) was adopted in 1985 to provide for the development of 7.34 acres of property located on the northeast corner of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde (Figure 1). Since that time, the area has been developed with a service station built in 1989 (Area I) and an assisted living facility for senior citizens built in 1999 (Area II). Area III of SP-17 is designated as Open Space. Several Municipal Code Text Amendments have been reviewed and approved by the City Council to Area I since the initial operation of the service station, including MCTA 08-02, which amended the Code, to allow the service station to operate with an accessory convenience store.

Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 08-01 to operate a convenience store with up to 1,000 square feet of sales floor area as an accessory use to the service station and Development Plan Review Board (DPRB) 08-25 for the exterior expansion for the convenience store was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council in 2008.

Figure 1 – Specific Plan No. 17
In 2016, the City Council approved MCTA 15-06 to amend SP-17, Area 1 – Service Station Use, to allow for the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption, as an accessory use to a conditionally permitted convenience store. The existing service station was subsequently approved by City Council for off-sale of beer and wine (ABC Type 20 License) under CUP 15-10 through the adoption of Resolution 2015-54.

On October 22, 2025, the Applicants, Ana Salazar and Michael Ramirez, submitted for an MCTA 25-07 to amend Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. Precise Plan 25-01, CUP 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17 applications for the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store were also submitted. As part of these Applications, the Applicant submitted a letter detailing how the project would meet the CUP Application and why they require an MCTA (see Attachment 4).

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
On January 15, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed project. During the Commission’s discussion, several questions were raised regarding the size limitation and whether other cities allow for fuel pumps to count towards parking (Attachment 6).

Staff explained that the Via Verde gas station is the only service station with a convenience store located within the city that has the 1,000 square foot limitation of sales floor. Staff also shared that although it is not common, there are a few cities that allow for the fuel pumps to count towards required parking. Staff wanted to provide some flexibility, but remain conservative by providing just ½ parking space credit. This allows more flexibility for accessory convenience stores associated with a gasoline or service station, but still require some onsite parking. The Commission also shared their concern with the location of the ice machines on the exterior of the building. Therefore, Condition No. 29 has been added to require the exterior ice machines to be relocated within the interior space of the convenience store. The Applicant stated that with the expansion of the interior floor area of the convenience store, there will be adequate space to accommodate the ice machines within the interior.

After hearing Staff’s presentation, public comments, including additional information provided by the Applicant, the Commission voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution PC-1704, recommending approval to the City Council of MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, and DPR 25-17.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue on the northeast corner of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 – Service Station Use, and the subject site is developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store (Figure 2) (see Attachment 5). The property is also located within the Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO). The Applicant’s request to expand the sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store will require various applications as described below.

Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07

MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, DPR 25-17 Page 5
For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
Currently, SP-17, Area 1 – Service Station Use does not allow for any increase in sales floor area beyond 1,000 square feet and defines the sales floor area to be allotted for “food and convenience sales and shall not include cashier counter area, refrigeration coolers, storage area, restrooms and similar facilities”; the store is currently at the 1,000 square-foot maximum. Therefore, any requests to increase the existing sales floor area will require an amendment to the Code. In an effort to “clean-up” the Code and avoid the Applicant submitting any additional requests for an increase in sales floor area, the Applicant is requesting to amend the Code to eliminate the definition of sales floor area entirely from SP-17, Area 1, since parking is calculated based on total square footage of the building and not just the defined sales floor area.

The Applicant is also requesting an amendment to eliminate the maximum 1,000 square footage requirement for the sales floor area of the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station for SP-17, which will allow the applicant/business operator to expand within the existing footprint of the building without having to apply for another MCTA. This elimination will also allow the applicant/business operator to further expand the accessory convenience store so long as there is sufficient parking to accommodate any future expansion and the expansion is approved per a CUP Application approved by the Planning Commission. The existing floor area of the entire building measures approximately 3,220 square feet and at this time, the Applicant is not proposing any additional square footage beyond what is already existing. The increase in sales floor area will allow for a larger inventory of goods to be sold at the existing convenience store. The amendment to eliminate the maximum sales floor area for the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station will also remove the size restriction for this specific business operator that is not applied to other similar gasoline or service stations throughout the City.

The amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage will allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market allowing for a reduction in the required parking spaces for gasoline or service stations.

When CUP 08-01 was approved, a condition was placed requiring a formal reciprocal parking and access agreement with the adjoining property (assisted living facility), which would allow the existing service station to meet its minimum parking requirements with the addition of the convenience store at that time. Both the service station and the adjacent assisted living facility are under new ownership. The reciprocal parking and access agreement required under CUP 08- 01 was never provided to City staff under the previous ownership and therefore, the service station is currently out of compliance with the City’s parking requirements. The Applicant was notified of the required agreement prior to their application submittal, and the Applicant has made several efforts to try to secure the required parking agreement with the new owner of the assisted living facility. However, the Applicant shared that during discussion with the new property owner, the Applicant is only being granted a total of one (1) parking space, which would not meet the current required parking. Under the City’s current parking requirements, the service station use would need to provide a total of 15 parking spaces; however, the existing site provides for only 12 parking spaces. With the proposed amendment to reduce a ½ parking space for each gasoline pump, the service station will be able to reduce their required parking by 4 parking spaces since there are currently 8 pumps within the existing gas station canopy. This reduction in the required parking spaces will allow the service station to provide the 11 required parking spaces.

The reduction in the required parking spaces will bring the property into compliance and eliminate the requirement of a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property. Should the accessory convenience store expand beyond the existing building footprint in the future, a shared parking agreement may be required at that time to accommodate any increase in floor area. The amendment to reduce the parking requirement by a ½ parking space for each gasoline pump

For the Meeting of February 24, 2026
provided also allows more flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations city-wide that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons. Convenience stores when accessory to a gasoline or service station provide an additional and convenient option for the community to shop for goods and services.

Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03, Development Plan Review 25-17 Although the square footage of the existing convenience store building will remain the same, the proposed modifications to the interior and exterior of the building requires approval of a new CUP and DPR. Additionally, because the subject site is located within the City’s Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO), a Precise Plan is also required to be reviewed and approved by the City Council.

The improvements proposed as part of this request include removal of the two (2) existing service bays and expansion of the existing sales floor area of the convenience store (Figure 3-4 & Attachment 3). The exterior of the building will undergo minor modifications to accommodate the changes within the interior floor area including the construction of new concrete walkways, new entrance door, and new storefront windows. In addition, the new interior layout and exterior site improvements will be constructed to comply with the development standards of the Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 – Service Station Use and the latest California Building Code requirements. The expansion of the existing convenience store is solely within the existing footprint of the building, which will minimize its impact on adjacent properties.

Condition No’s. 20, and 26-29 are imposed to ensure that all site improvements will comply with all applicable zoning requirements of the City including landscaping, parking, appropriate screening for any mechanical equipment. The existing stucco building will remain the same on the east and south elevation with minor changes to the north

elevation to accommodate for the new entry door and window display, and the removal of the secondary side entrance on the west elevation.

Any future expansion to the layout of the floor plan, in particular the beer and wine display, will require submittal of a new CUP Application and the review and approval by the Planning Commission. Additionally, Condition No. 29 has been added to require the exterior ice machines to be relocated within the interior space of the convenience store.

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

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN DIMAS, COUNTY OF

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 25-07, AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 18-ZONING, CHAPTER 18.528 SPECIFIC PLAN NO. 17, TO REMOVE THE DEFINITION OF SALES FLOOR AND THE LIMITATION OF 1,000

SQUARE-FOOT SALES FLOOR AREA FOR CONVENIENCE STORES, WHEN

WHEREAS, an Amendment to the San Dimas Municipal Code has been duly initiated by:

Michael Ramirez & Ana Salazar
4300 Edison Avenue
Chino, CA 91710; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment is described as an amendment to Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market; and WHEREAS, the Amendment to amend Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 applies to the following described real property:
1790 S. San Dimas Avenue (APN: 8396-017-025); and

Approving MCTA 25-07
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the City Council hearing; and or the reasons discussed by the City Council at the February 24, 2026 hearing, the City Council now finds as follows:

A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.

The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to adjoining properties or the general area. The amendment to eliminate the maximum square footage requirement for the sales floor area of the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station for Specific Plan No. 17 will allow the applicant/business operator to expand within the existing footprint of the building. This elimination will also allow the applicant/business operator to further expand the accessory convenience store so long as there is sufficient parking to accommodate any future expansion. The increase in sales floor area will allow for a larger inventory of goods to be sold at the existing convenience store and thereby increase sales tax revenue for the City. In addition, any future expansion or significant modification to the floor plan will require the submittal of a new CUP Application and the review and approval by the Planning Commission reducing any adverse effects to the surrounding community. Lastly, the amendment will provide the same expansion opportunities to all other gasoline or service stations in the City.

The amendment will also allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. The reduction in the required parking spaces will bring the property into compliance and eliminate the requirement of a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property (assisted living facility). Should the accessory convenience store expand in the future, a shared parking agreement may be required at that time to accommodate any future increase in floor area. The amendment will also provide flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations city-wide that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons.

B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.

The proposed amendments will further the general welfare of San Dimas by allowing for expansion of the existing accessory convenience store thereby providing patrons who shop at this location a wider variety of products to purchase. The amendment may help the local business to become more competitive within the area and in turn, support the economic health of the community. The amendment to eliminate the maximum sales floor area for the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station will also remove the size restriction for this specific business operator that is not applied to other similar gasoline or service stations throughout the city.

The amendment to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market may incentivize other gasoline or service stations located city-wide to make improvements to their

Ordinance 1334 Page 3
Approving MCTA 25-07
building, if needed, which will also further the public health, safety, and general welfare of San Dimas.

C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and applicable Zoning.

The proposed amendments will be consistent with the General Plan designation land use of the zone as it is classified as Commercial. The convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station is already conditionally allowed in commercial land use properties. The amendments will comply with the General Plan Land Use Element Objective 5.1, which states, “encourage infill and development to occur in and around activity centers, transportation node corridors, underutilized infrastructure systems, and areas needing revitalization and redevelopment.” The amendment to expand the existing convenience store will allow the business to better serve the neighborhood.

The amendment to reduce the parking requirement by ½ parking space for each gasoline pump provided allows more flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons. Convenience stores when accessory to a gasoline or service station provide an additional and convenient option for the community to shop for goods and services, thus enable them to better serve the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF SAN DIMAS, California does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. ADOPTION. Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07 amending Title 18- Zoning, Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 of the San Dimas Municipal Code to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and amending Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market as set forth in Exhibit A – B, attached hereto and incorporated herein, is 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 jurisdiction, 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 that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance may have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Thus, the adoption of this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 1506 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Michael Ramirez and Ana Salazar
4300 Edison Avenue
Chino, CA 91710; and
WHEREAS, Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17 (Project) are described as:

A request to allow the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store associated with the existing gasoline service station. The existing footprint of the building will remain the same at 3,220 square feet; and WHEREAS, the applications filed for Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17 applies to the following described real property:
1790 S. San Dimas Avenue (APN: 8396-017-025); and
WHEREAS, the Project includes Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07, which is being considered under Ordinance 1334, and is described as an amendment to Title 18-Zoning, Chapter

18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Title 18-Zoning, Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market (MCTA); and
WHEREAS, the Project is dependent on the amendment to Specific Plan No. 17 and Chapter 18.156, and cannot be approved without the approval of MCTA 25-07; and WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the Planning Commission’s public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on January 15, 2026 at the hour of 6:00 p.m., with all testimony received being made a part of the public record; and WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the City Council public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on February 24, 2026 at the hour of 7:00 p.m., with all testimony received being made part of the public record; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Division has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA

Guidelines. The project qualifies under the Class 1 exemption under the State CEQA Guidelines Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301 Existing Facilities Class 1 operations which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Although the existing sales floor area of the convenience store will increase, the existing footprint of the building will remain the same. In addition, there is no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission and City Council has reviewed the Planning Division’s determination of exemption, and based on their own independent judgment, concurs in the staff’s determination of exemption.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the Planning Commission hearing; and or the reasons discussed by the Planning Commissioners at the January 15, 2026 hearing, and the evidence received at the City Council hearing; and or the reasons discussed by the City Council at the February 24, 2026 hearing, and subject to the Conditions attached as “Attachment 2”, the City Council now finds as follows:

Conditional Use Permit Findings:

A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required by this title to adapt the use with land and uses in the neighborhood; The subject site is located within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1, and is developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store. The improvements proposed as part of this request include removal of the two (2) existing service bays and expansion of the existing sales floor area of the convenience store from 1,000 square feet to 1,940 square feet. The existing convenience store will undergo a major interior remodel and minor exterior remodel as a result of the increase in sales floor area. The existing footprint of the building will remain the same at 3,220 square feet. Conditions will be imposed to ensure that all site improvements will comply with all applicable zoning requirements of the City including landscaping, parking, appropriate screening for any mechanical equipment and removal of any unnecessary roof mounted equipment.

B. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use; The site is located at the northeast corner of South San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde, which are both improved secondary arterial streets. Both streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic generated by the proposed use, as there is no anticipated significant increase in traffic to be generated by the 940 square-foot expansion of the existing accessory convenience store.

C. That the proposed use will be arranged, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the intended character of the area and shall not change the essential character of the area from that intended by the general plan and the applicable zoning ordinances;
The proposed expansion of the convenience store is conditionally permitted as an accessory use to a conditionally permitted primary use in the subject zone. In this case, the existing service station with convenience store is the conditionally permitted use. The

convenience store expansion will be compatible with other service stations with convenience stores in other zones; therefore, it will not change the essential character of the area in general from the intended commercial uses by the General Plan and Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1.

D. That the proposed use provides for the continued growth and orderly development of the community and is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the general plan; The proposed request will provide for the continued growth and development of the community by providing patrons who shop at this location a wider variety of products to purchase. The additional 940 square feet of sales floor area will allow the business to better serve the needs of the nearby Via Verde Corporate Center, freeway travelers, and the Via Verde area. The amendment may help the local business to become more competitive within the area and in turn, support the economic health of the community.

The use is conditionally permitted in the subject zone, which includes conditions of approval that will assist in preventing impacts to the community in general (see Condition No’s 20, and 26-29). In addition, the proposed expansion of the convenience store will be compatible with the objectives of the commercial land use designation under the General Plan.

E. That the proposed use, including any conditions attached thereto, will be established in compliance with the applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.

The proposed request to expand the existing convenience store that is accessory to the conditionally permitted service station, is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301 Existing Facilities Class 1 operations, which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Although the existing sales floor area of the convenience store will increase, the existing footprint of the building will remain the same.

Development Plan Review Findings:

A. The development of the site in accordance with the development plan is suitable for the use or development intended.

The subject property is zoned Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 and is already developed with a services station and an accessory convenience store. As part of the proposal to expand the existing convenience store, the two (2) existing service bays will be removed and the space will be converted into additional sales floor area. The exterior of the building will undergo minor modifications to accommodate the changes within the interior floor area including the construction of new concrete walkways, new entrance door, and new storefront windows. In addition, the new interior layout and exterior site improvements will be constructed to comply with the development standards of the Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 Zone and the latest California Building Code requirements.

B. The development is so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety and general welfare, and prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.

The subject site is currently developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store. The existing footprint of the building will remain the same 3,220 square feet. The property is located within an established residential neighborhood that is served by two public streets, San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde, which are adequate in width and pavement type to support the vehicular traffic. Access to the property will be from the existing driveways each located off of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde. The expansion of the existing convenience store is solely within the existing footprint of the building, which will minimize its impact on adjacent properties.

C. The development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and its in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code and other ordinances and regulations of the City.

The proposed expansion of the existing convenience store by 940 square feet, which is accessory to the conditionally permitted service station, is in accordance with the property’s General Plan designation of Commercial and will comply with the General Plan Land Use Element Objective 4.1, which states, “promote future land use and development patterns which reduce costs of infrastructure construction, encourages transit to make better use of existing facilities, and achieve a good match between future growth and phasing of existing facilities or expansion of new ones.” The expansion is for an already existing facility in which overall building floor area will not change; 3,220 square feet. The increased sales floor area of the existing convenience store will be contained within the current footprint of the existing building by converting the two (2) service bay areas into additional sales floor area. With the increase in sales floor area, the existing convenience store will be able to provide additional products for its patrons.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the City Council of the City of San Dimas grants approval of Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17, subject to the Applicant’s compliance with the Conditions as set forth in “Exhibit A.”

We are writing to you regarding a proposed project that will require a CUP and MCTA within the City of San Dimas. We would like to explain how the proposed subject project will meet the CUP requirements of Chapter 18.200.090 A-E of the San Dimas Municipal Code and why an MCTA is needed.

CUP Explanation:
- There is an exisXng convenient store at the site that will be kept the same with no changes to the building footprint, no changes to the gasoline service staXon with canopy, and no changes to the exisXng use. The site is already adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required by this Xtle to adapt the use with land and uses in the neighborhood.
- The site already relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quanXty and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use which will be kept the same as it is. - The use is already arranged, designed, and constructed to be compaXble with the intended character of the area. The new project will conXnue to operate and maintain the site and use and shall not change the essenXal character of the area from that intended by the general plan and the applicable zoning ordinances.
- The site already provides for the conXnued growth and orderly development of the community and is consistent with the various elements and objecXves of the general plan. - That site is and will conXnue to be established in compliance with the applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.

MCTA Explanation:

The gas station's location is located within the SP-17 zone, Area I, and an increase in the sales area would require a municipal code text amendment (MCTA). Under SDMC 18.528.050 B.1., "Convenience stores, with up to one thousand square feet of sales floor area, when accessory to a gasoline or service station use. Sales floor shall be defined as the floor area allotted for food and convenience sales and shall not include cashier counter area, refrigeration coolers, storage area, restrooms and similar ATTACHMENT 4

facilities." are classified under conditional uses. We are proposing to change the language to allow a floor sales area of minimum one-thousand nine-hundred square feet.

MCTA request is also to allow for ½ parking space to be credited for every gasoline pump under the canopy. There are 8 pumps which would give us a total of 4 parking spaces.

Additionally, the gas station is also located in the Scenic Highway Overlay Zone, and under SDMC

18.108.060, A. "Commercial Property. No person shall construct, relocate, modify, rebuild and/or alter any building, wall/fence or site plan until a precise plan has been approved by the city council pursuant to the provisions of this chapter." We will submit precise plans so that City Council may review the code section to confirm the proposed project will remain compliant with the code section.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at the information below.

Subject: Municipal Code Text Amendment (MCTA) 25-07, Precise Plan (PP) 25-01, Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 25-03, and Development Plan Review (DPR) 25- 17; Discussion and Consideration of a MCTA to amend Title 18-Zoning, Chapter

18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and amend Title 18-Zoning, Chapter

18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market; and Precise Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Development Plan Review applications for the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the Via Verde 76 Gas Station, convenience store located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 (SP17) and the Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO). The existing footprint of the building will remain the same (APN: 8396-017-025).
____________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY
Several development Applications were submitted by the new owner of the Via Verde 76 Gas Station located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue, requesting an expansion of the sales floor area of the existing convenience store. The service station is located on the northeast corner of Via Verde and San Dimas Avenue, within the Specific Plan No. 17, Area I, and Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO).

The proposed expansion of the convenience store would require an amendment to the Municipal Code. The new owner subsequently submitted a request to amend Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 squarefoot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. While the amendment to Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 would only affect the existing property and not any other gas stations in the City, the amendment to Chapter

18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage would affect all gasoline or service stations city-wide.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC-1705, recommending approval to the City Council of Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07, Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03 & Development Plan Review 25-17, as set forth in Attachment No. 1.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact for the recommended action.

BACKGROUND
Specific Plan No. 17 (SP-17) was adopted in 1985 to provide for the development of 7.34 acres of property located on the northeast corner of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde (Figure 1). Since that time, the area has been developed with a service station built in 1989 (Area I) and an assisted living facility for senior citizens built in 1999 (Area II). Area III of the SP-17 is designated as Open Space. Several Municipal Code Text Amendments have occurred to Area I since the initial operation of the service station, including MCTA 08-02, which amended the Code, to allow the service station to operate with an accessory convenience store.

Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 08-01 to operate a convenience store with up to 1,000 square feet of sales floor area as an accessory use to the service station and Development Plan Review Board (DPRB) 08-25 for the exterior expansion for the convenience store was approved by the Planning Commission and the City Council in 2008.

In 2016, the City Council approved MCTA 15-06 to amend SP-17, Area 1 – Service Station Use, to allow for the sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption, as an accessory use to a conditionally permitted convenience store. The existing service station was subsequently approved by City Council for off-sale of beer and wine (ABC Type 20 License) under CUP 15-10 through the adoption of Resolution 2015-54.

On October 22, 2025, the Applicants, Ana Salazar and Michael Ramirez, submitted for an MCTA 25-07 to amend Chapter 18.528 Specific Plan No. 17 to remove the definition of sales floor and the limitation of 1,000 square-foot sales floor area for convenience stores, when accessory to a gasoline or service station, and an amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. Precise Plan 25-01, CUP 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17 applications for the interior expansion of the existing sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store were also submitted. As part of these Applications the Applicant submitted a letter detailing how the project would meet the CUP Application and why the they require a MCTA (see Attachment 3).

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at 1790 S. San Dimas Avenue on the northeast corner of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 – Service Station Use, and the subject site is developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store (Figure 2) (see Attachment 4). The property is also located within the Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO). The Applicant’s request to expand the sales floor area and minor exterior remodel of the convenience store will require various applications as described below.

MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03 & DPR 25-17; PROJ-25-0042 Page 4 For the Meeting of January 15, 2026
Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07
Currently, SP-17, Area 1 – Service Station Use does not allow for any increase in sales floor area beyond 1,000 square feet and defines the sales floor area to be allotted for “food and convenience sales and shall not include cashier counter area, refrigeration coolers, storage area, restrooms and similar facilities”; the store is currently at the 1,000 square-foot maximum. Therefore, any requests to increase the existing sales floor area will require an amendment to the Code. In an effort to “clean-up” the Code and avoid the Applicant submitting any additional requests for an increase in sales floor area, the Applicant is requesting to amend the Code to eliminate the definition of sales floor area entirely from SP-17, Area 1, since parking is calculated based on total square footage of the building and not just the defined sales floor area.

The Applicant is also requesting an amendment to eliminate the maximum 1,000 square footage requirement for the sales floor area of the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station for SP-17, which will allow the applicant/business operator to expand within the existing footprint of the building without having to apply for another MCTA. This elimination will also allow the applicant/business operator to further expand the accessory convenience store so long as there is sufficient parking to accommodate any future expansion and the expansion is approved per a CUP Application approved by the Planning Commission. The existing floor area of the entire building measures approximately 3,220 square feet and at this time, the Applicant is not proposing any additional square footage beyond what is already existing. The increase in sales floor area will allow for a larger inventory of goods to be sold at the existing convenience store. The amendment to eliminate the maximum sales floor area for the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station will also remove the size restriction for this specific business operator that is not applied to other similar gasoline or service stations throughout the City.

The amendment to Chapter 18.156 Vehicle Parking and Storage will allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market allowing for a reduction in the required parking spaces for gasoline or service stations.

When CUP 08-01 was approved, a condition was placed requiring a formal reciprocal parking and access agreement with the adjoining property (assisted living facility), which would allow for the existing service station to meet its minimum parking requirements with the addition of the convenience store at that time. Both the service station and the adjacent assisted living facility are under new ownership. The reciprocal parking and access agreement required under CUP 08- 01 was never provided to City staff under the previous ownership and therefore, the service station is currently out of compliance with the City’s parking requirements. The Applicant was notified of the required agreement prior to their application submittal, and the Applicant has made several efforts to try to secure the required parking agreement with the new owner of the assisted living facility. However, the Applicant shared that during discussion with the new property owner, the Applicant is only being granted a total of one (1) parking space, which would not meet the current required parking. Under the City’s current parking requirements, the service station use would need to provide a total of 15 parking spaces; however, the existing site provides for only 12 parking spaces. With the proposed amendment to reduce a ½ parking space for each gasoline pump, the service station will be able to reduce their required parking by 4 parking spaces since there are currently 8 pumps within the existing gas station canopy. This reduction in the required parking spaces will allow the service station to provide the 11 required parking spaces.

The reduction in the required parking spaces will bring the property into compliance and eliminate the requirement of a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property. Should the accessory

MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03 & DPR 25-17; PROJ-25-0042 Page 5 For the Meeting of January 15, 2026
convenience store expand beyond the existing building footprint in the future, a shared parking agreement may be required at that time to accommodate any increase in floor area. The amendment to reduce the parking requirement by a ½ parking space for each gasoline pump provided also allows more flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations city-wide that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons. Convenience stores when accessory to a gasoline or service station provide an additional and convenient option for the community to shop for goods and services.

Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03 & Development Plan Review 25-17 Although the square footage of the existing convenience store building will remain the same, the proposed modifications to the interior and exterior of the building requires approval of a new CUP and DPR. Additionally, because the subject site is located within the City’s Scenic Highway Overlay (SHO), a Precise Plan is also required to be reviewed and approved by the City Council.

The improvements proposed as part of this request include removal of the two (2) existing service bays and expansion of the existing sales floor area of the convenience store (Figure 3-4 & Attachment 2). The exterior of the building will undergo minor modifications to accommodate the changes within the interior floor area including the construction of new concrete walkways, new entrance door, and new storefront windows. In addition, the new interior layout and exterior site improvements will be constructed to comply with the development standards of the Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 – Service Station Use and the latest California Building Code requirements. The expansion of the existing convenience store is solely within the existing footprint of the building, which will minimize its impact on adjacent properties.

The convenience store expansion will be compatible with other service stations with convenience stores in other zones. Condition No’s. 19, and 25-28 are imposed to ensure that all site improvements will comply with all applicable zoning requirements of the City including landscaping, parking, appropriate screening for any mechanical equipment. The existing stucco building will remain the same on the east and south elevation with minor changes to the north elevation to accommodate for the new entry door and window display, and the removal of the secondary side entrance on the west elevation.

Any future expansion to the layout of the floor plan, in particular the beer and wine display, will require submittal of a new CUP Application and the review and approval by the Planning Commission.

ALTERNATIVES
There is no alternative proposed for consideration at this time; however, the Planning Commission may recommend changes or additional Conditions of Approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301 Existing Facilities Class 1 operations which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Although the existing sales floor area of the convenience store will increase, the existing footprint of the building will remain the same.

WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter and that public hearing was held on January 15, 2026, at the hour of 6:00 p.m., with all testimony received being made a part of the public record; and
WHEREAS, all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the City’s Environmental Guidelines have been met for the consideration of whether the Municipal Code Text Amendments and associated development applications will have a significant effect on the environment.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the evidence received at the hearing, and for the reasons discussed by the Commissioners at the hearing, the Planning Commission now finds as follows:

Municipal Code Text Amendment Findings:

A. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value, precedent or be detrimental to the area.

The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to adjoining properties or the general area. The amendment to eliminate the maximum square footage requirement for the sales floor area of the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station for Specific Plan No. 17 will allow the applicant/business operator to expand within the existing footprint of the building. This elimination will also allow the applicant/business operator to further expand the accessory convenience store so long as there is sufficient parking to accommodate any future expansion. The increase in sales floor area will allow for a larger inventory of goods to be sold at the existing convenience store and thereby increase sales tax revenue for the City. In addition any future expansion or significant modification to the floor plan will require the submittal of a new CUP Application and the review and approval by the Planning Commission reducing any adverse effects to the surrounding community. Lastly, the amendment will provide the same expansion opportunities to all other gasoline or service stations in the City.

The amendment will also allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market. The reduction in the required parking spaces will bring the property into compliance and eliminate the requirement of a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property (assisted living facility). Should the accessory convenience store expand in the future, a shared parking agreement may be required at that time to accommodate any future increase in floor area.

The amendment will also provide flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations citywide that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons.

B. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment will further the public health, safety and general welfare.

The proposed amendments will further the general welfare of San Dimas by allowing for expansion of the existing accessory convenience store thereby providing patrons who shop at this location a wider variety of products to purchase. The amendment may help the local business to become more competitive within the area and in turn, support the economic health of the community. The amendment to eliminate the maximum sales floor area for the convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station will also remove the size restriction for this specific business operator that is not applied to other

RESOLUTION PC-1704 Page 3
MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, DPR 25-17
similar gasoline or service stations throughout the city.

The amendment to allow each gasoline pump to be counted as ½ parking space when associated with a snack shop or convenience store market may incentivize other gasoline or service stations located city-wide to make improvements to their building, if needed, which will also further the public health, safety, and general welfare of San Dimas.

C. The proposed Municipal Code Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

The proposed amendments will be consistent with the General Plan designation land use of the zone as it is classified as Commercial. The convenience store when accessory to a gasoline or service station is already conditionally allowed in commercial land use properties. The amendments will comply with the General Plan Land Use Element Objective 5.1, which states, “encourage infill and development to occur in and around activity centers, transportation node corridors, underutilized infrastructure systems, and areas needing revitalization and redevelopment.” The amendment to expand the existing convenience store will allow the business to better serve the neighborhood.

The amendment to reduce the parking requirement by ½ parking space for each gasoline pump provided allows more flexibility for existing gasoline or service stations that have an accessory convenience store or snack shop to reinvest or expand their existing sales floor area to meet the needs of its patrons. Convenience stores when accessory to a gasoline or service station provide an additional and convenient option for the community to shop for goods and services, thus enable them to better serve the community.

Conditional Use Permit Findings:

A. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and all yards, spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping and other features required by this title to adapt the use with land and uses in the neighborhood; The subject site is located within Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1, and is developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store. The improvements proposed as part of this request include removal of the two (2) existing service bays and expansion of the existing sales floor area of the convenience store from 1,000 square feet to 1,940 square feet. The existing convenience store will undergo a major interior remodel and minor exterior remodel as a result of the increase in sales floor area. The existing footprint of the building will remain the same at 3,220 square feet. Conditions will be imposed to ensure that all site improvements will comply with all applicable zoning requirements of the City including landscaping, parking, appropriate screening for any mechanical equipment and removal of any unnecessary roof mounted equipment.

B. That the site for the proposed use relates to streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use; The site is located at the northeast corner of South San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde, which are both improved secondary arterial streets. Both streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic generated by the proposed use, as there is no anticipated significant increase in traffic to be generated by the 940 square-foot expansion of the existing accessory convenience store.

C. That the proposed use will be arranged, designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible with the intended character of the area and shall not change the

RESOLUTION PC-1704 Page 4
MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, DPR 25-17
essential character of the area from that intended by the general plan and the applicable zoning ordinances;
The proposed expansion of the convenience store is conditionally permitted as an accessory use to a conditionally permitted primary use in the subject zone. In this case, the existing service station with convenience store is the conditionally permitted use. The convenience store expansion will be compatible with other service stations with convenience stores in other zones; therefore, it will not change the essential character of the area in general from the intended commercial uses by the General Plan and Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1.

D. That the proposed use provides for the continued growth and orderly development of the community and is consistent with the various elements and objectives of the general plan; The proposed request will provide for the continued growth and development of the community by providing patrons who shop at this location a wider variety of products to purchase. The additional 940 square feet of sales floor area will allow the business to better serve the needs of the nearby Via Verde Corporate Center, freeway travelers, and the Via Verde area. The amendment may help the local business to become more competitive within the area and in turn, support the economic health of the community.

The use is conditionally permitted in the subject zone, which includes conditions of approval that will assist in preventing impacts to the community in general (see Condition No’s 20, and 26-29). In addition, the proposed expansion of the convenience store will be compatible with the objectives of the commercial land use designation under the General Plan.

E. That the proposed use, including any conditions attached thereto, will be established in compliance with the applicable provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.

The proposed request to expand the existing convenience store that is accessory to the conditionally permitted service station, is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Title 14, Section 6, Chapter 3, Article 19, Section 15301 Existing Facilities Class 1 operations, which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing public or private facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Although the existing sales floor area of the convenience store will increase, the existing footprint of the building will remain the same.

Development Plan Review Findings:

A. The development of the site in accordance with the development plan is suitable for the use or development intended.

The subject property is zoned Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 and is already developed with a services station and an accessory convenience store. As part of the proposal to expand the existing convenience store, the two (2) existing service bays will be removed and the space will be converted into additional sales floor area. The exterior of the building will undergo minor modifications to accommodate the changes within the interior floor area including the construction of new concrete walkways, new entrance door, and new storefront windows. In addition, the new interior layout and exterior site improvements will be constructed to comply with the development standards of the Specific Plan No. 17, Area 1 Zone and the latest California Building Code requirements.

B. The development is so arranged as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health,

RESOLUTION PC-1704 Page 5
MCTA 25-07, PP 25-01, CUP 25-03, DPR 25-17
safety and general welfare, and prevent adverse effects on neighboring property.

The subject site is currently developed with an existing service station and accessory convenience store. The existing footprint of the building will remain the same 3,220 square feet. The property is located within an established residential neighborhood that is served by two public streets, San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde, which are adequate in width and pavement type to support the vehicular traffic. Access to the property will be from the existing driveways each located off of San Dimas Avenue and Via Verde. The expansion of the existing convenience store is solely within the existing footprint of the building, which will minimize its impact on adjacent properties.

C. The development is consistent with all elements of the general plan and its in compliance with all applicable provisions of the zoning code and other ordinances and regulations of the City.

The proposed expansion of the existing convenience store by 940 square feet, which is accessory to the conditionally permitted service station, is in accordance with the property’s General Plan designation of Commercial and will comply with the General Plan Land Use Element Objective 4.1, which states, “promote future land use and development patterns which reduce costs of infrastructure construction, encourages transit to make better use of existing facilities, and achieve a good match between future growth and phasing of existing facilities or expansion of new ones.” The expansion is for an already existing facility in which overall building floor area will not change; 3,220 square feet. The increased sales floor area of the existing convenience store will be contained within the current footprint of the existing building by converting the two (2) service bay areas into additional sales floor area. With the increase in sales floor area, the existing convenience store will be able to provide additional products for its patrons.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE FINDINGS, that the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of Municipal Code Text Amendment 25-07, Precise Plan 25-01, Conditional Use Permit 25-03, and Development Plan Review 25-17, as set forth in attached Exhibits A - C:

PUBLIC HEARING
PH 1. Tentative Parcel Map 25-02 (TPM 84866), Development Plan Review 25-18 & Tree Permit 25-14; Discussion and Consideration of a request to approve the subdivision of one (1) existing 17,274 square-foot lot into two (2) lots for the development of a new 1,946 squarefoot two-story single-family residence with an attached 490 square-foot two-car garage and a 1,000 square-foot detached ADU on each lot. The existing single-family residence will be demolished and one (1) Pine tree will be removed at 1356 W. Cienega Avenue within the Single-Family 7,500 (SF-7500) zone (APNs: 8385-002-037 & 8385-002-038).

Staff report presented by Senior Planner Moore recommending Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC-1703, recommending approval to the City Council of Tentative parcel Map 25-02 (TPM 84866), Development Plan review 25-18 and Tree Permit 25-14.

Commissioner Barnes asked if on-street parking was allowed on Cienega Avenue.

Senior Planner Moore stated there is no parking on Cienega Avenue.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 2
January 15, 2026
Commissioner Barnes stated the driveway on Parcel 1 looks longer, is it possible to park four cars on the driveway and also two in the garage. It looks like on Parcel 2 there is only room for 2 cars in the driveway.

Senior Planner Moore stated that the longer driveway on Parcel 1 is to help support the additional parking needs for the ADU allowing for additional cars to be parked there and safely maneuver to get out onto Cienega Avenue. On Parcel 2 the driveway will only accommodate two cars.

Commissioner Barnes stated that there are only two new trees being proposed for the project, but he doesn’t feel like that’s enough for both parcels. He would like to see more trees added to the landscaping.

Senior Planner Moore states that the two new trees do meet the replacement requirement of the code, but Staff can work with the applicant to see if they might be open to adding additional trees along the southern portion of the property.

Commissioner Barnes stated that it looks like there is lot of concrete on both parcels.

Senior Planner Moore stated that this was examined early on and it’s less concrete than what was originally proposed. The code does allow a maximum of 50% hardscape in the front yard but there is no code that limits the hardscape in the back yard.

Commissioner Barnes stated that the condition of Kimberly Avenue is pretty rough. What kind of requirements can the City place on this project to make sure the street is kept up.

Senior Planner Moore stated the Commissioners can include a condition that the owners maintain their portion of the street; however Kimberly Avenue is a private street so there are limitations on enforcing the requirement.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that since we are approving the parcel map, wouldn’t this be a good time to require parking for the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on Parcel 2.

Director of Community Development Torrico reminded the Commission that due to State law, we cannot require parking for ADU’s.

Vice-Chairman Davis asked if the Commission could require part of the grass area to be paved for ADU parking.

Director of Community Development Torrico said Staff can have a conversation with the applicant about that, but we cannot make it a requirement.

Planning Manager Espinoza stated that Staff would also have to check with Public Works to make sure if a driveway is put there, that it’s in a safe location for cars turning onto Kimberly Avenue from Cienega Avenue.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 3
January 15, 2026
Vice-Chairman Davis asked what the width of Kimberly Avenue is.

Senior Planner Moore stated approximately thirty to thirty-five feet.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that he’s concerned that the ADU will be occupied by a renter and the people will park their car on Kimberly Avenue, fairly close to Cienega Ave which may cause an issue.

Planning Manager Espinoza stated that they can talk to the applicant about adding additional paved area for parking.

Senior Planner Moore stated that there is an Oak tree on Parcel 2 that they are trying to preserve which limits the paved area.

Vice-Chairman Davis remembers there being an opportunity that instead of doing the underground requirements, wasn’t there an option to give the City money to improve the undergrounding when a larger project is proposed.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that this has been done in the past when there’s an improvement district or when a future project was planned, but that is not being proposed for this property.

Vice-Chairman Davis asked what the lot sizes of the other lots on Kimberly Avenue were. This parcel can be split, are there others on Kimberly Avenue that can also be split.

Senior Planner Moore stated that this property was almost 18,000 sf and the lot size requirement is 7,500 square feet, so it meets the requirements. She would have to go back and research the other properties on Kimberly Avenue to see if any of the other lots could do the same thing but most of the lots are smaller than the one on Cienega Avenue.

Commissioner Green stated that she has concerns about the parking on Parcel 2. Is there room for cars to park in the back or on the side of the lot. She understands that because of the State law, parking for the ADU cannot be required, but is there something that can be done to address this.

Additionally, how can we require the owner of the new parcel to maintain their section of Kimberly Avenue.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that on a private street it’s up to the owners of each parcel to maintain the street. Some areas have an HOA set up which collect dues and take responsibility for the maintenance of the street. Kimberly Avenue does not have an HOA; however, we can set up requirements that the street frontage needs to be maintained.

Commissioner Shirley asked if there’s parking allowed on Cienega Avenue or surrounding streets.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 4
January 15, 2026
Director of Community Development Torrico said there is no parking on Cienega Avenue or Valley Center Avenue.

Commissioner Shirley stated that there will probably be two cars for the people living in the ADU.

If they share the driveway at the main house on Parcel 2 then someone might get blocked in.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that the driveway on Parcel 2 is for the sole use of the main house, not for the ADU. Because of State Law, the City cannot require parking for the ADU. As of right now, the ADU will not have any parking.

Commissioner Shirley stated that since they can’t park on the street, don’t we believe that creates a problem.

Planning Manager Espinoza stated yes, it can create a problem and that’s the problem that staff has with the ADU laws. If the State law didn’t exist, Staff would not allow this project without parking options. However, Staff cannot require additional parking for the ADU and discussing required parking for the ADU can bring up liability issues. Staff can talk to the applicant to see if they are willing to modify the project on their own, but the item on tonight’s agenda is strictly the lot split and Commission’s decision is whether or not to approve the lot split. The ADU’s are not part of tonight’s agenda item.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that it’s possible that the ADU tenants might have to park blocks away unless the owner comes up with a parking solution.

Chairman Bratt asked if the ADU’s will be two story.

Senior Planner Moore stated they will remain one story.

Chairman Bratt clarified that if Kimberly Avenue is a private street, then the City’s parking enforcement requirements do not apply.

Senior Planner Moore stated no, enforcement is not done by City Staff.

Chairman Bratt opened the public hearing.

Speaker 1 – Antoninette Raines stated that the community does not want these large mega mansions on their street. The street is in bad shape and needs to be redone, which will cost about $85,000, which is way too much money. Currently residents use a concrete asphalt mix to fill the potholes but once the rain comes the potholes come back. The owners are responsible for paying to have the potholes fixed. If the people of these new parcels park in front of her house, she will have the cars towed and she has already had cars that park in front of her house towed. The neighbors are strongly against the project and she has a petition signed by the neighbors on Kimberly Avenue in opposition to the project. Also, some of the plants they are suggesting on their plans aren’t even native to California. The landscaping should all be native plants.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
January 15, 2026
Speaker 2 – Richard Harris stated that he is concerned about cars turning onto Kimberly Avenue from Cienega Avenue. If the cars park right at the entrance to the street this could cause a hazard.

Speaker 3 – Daniel Ortiz stated his family purchased on Kimberly Avenue because he wanted the typical single family living style. The development would block his view. He’s worried about what the construction site will look like with all the debris and how many months will it look like this. He just wants to voice his opinion that this development isn’t a good idea for this area. If there’s no parking, this project shouldn’t move forward.

Speaker 4 – Julie Ortiz stated that she’s worried about her daughter’s lower immune system when it comes to the demolition of the existing structures. She’s worried that the dust from the site will cause additional issues with her daughter and family’s health. Her guess is that these will probably be rental properties and the owner won’t live there.

Speaker 5 – Christina Smith stated that her concern is that four different families might live on these parcels where one family used to live. She’s worried about the traffic on Cienega going so fast, when someone turns onto Kimberly that might cause an issue. She stated the two-story homes will look out of place. She knows that San Dimas is big on aesthetics and when she did her remodel, they spent a lot of money meeting the City’s aesthetic requirements. She’s also concerned that the larger homes will block the view of those turning from Cienega Avenue onto Kimberly Avenue. She would like to request that if the applicant is planning on just throwing out the existing rocks and cactus on the lot that maybe they could offer it to the neighbors to use.

Speaker 6 – John Smith stated the value of our homes have gone way up because owners on the street are remodeling their properties. He loves the view they have and feels that this development will take that away. He’s concerned about the traffic on Cienega Avenue. Cars drive too fast and with the larger houses there might be more accidents because cars on Kimberly Avenue can’t see out clearly onto Cienega Avenue. If the project gets approved, he would like to request that the applicants do a complete overhaul of the street.

Speaker 7 – Desiree Newton lives on Shellman Avenue behind what will be Parcel 1. She’s concerned about the two-story structure due to privacy issues. Her concern is also about the ADUs and where those tenants are going to park. Are the owners going to be living here or just renters and how many people maximum can live in the homes.

Speaker 8 – Owner Kin Seng Wong stated if people are concerned that the view will be blocked, the existing Oak tree that is currently there is about the same height as the proposed two-story house.

As for parking, they are willing to discuss options with the Planning Staff, but they are also working with the Planning requirement for the green space in the front yard, and they have put the maximum hardscape on the plan. He doesn’t feel that there will be any site distance problems coming out of Kimberly Avenue onto Cienega Avenue. He is willing to work with Staff to see if it’s possible to move the driveway to between the house and ADU to hopefully share parking on the lot.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 6
January 15, 2026
Chairman Bratt closed the Public Hearing.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that he hears the neighbors have a lot of the same concerns. He heard the applicant was possibly willing to move the house or ADU to allow for additional concrete for parking between the units.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that they would have to talk to Public Works to see how close a driveway can be to Cienega to be safe. He stated that as an option the Commission could continue the item and direct the applicant to work with Staff on the design of the project.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that he would support continuing the item because he doesn’t feel that this can be solved tonight. He sees that these two lots could be adding a total of fourteen bedrooms between the main houses and the ADUs.

Owner, Steven Trieu stated they will probably demo all structures on the lots at one time, and they will have parking for the construction vehicles on site. They are willing to work with Planning to try to address neighbor concerns.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that there are some things that may not be fixable, shoving fourteen bedrooms into this area adds a lot to the neighborhood. He drove around the area and didn’t see another two-story house on the surrounding lots. If zoning allows for two-story homes, does the Planning Commission have to approve two-story or can they deny it or put a restriction on the height of the houses.

Planning Manager Espinoza stated that restrictions cannot be placed on this property for the second story because the rest of the homes in the area could build a second story if they wanted to.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that thirty-five feet high is the maximum height for a two-story home. The parcel map is the discretionary item being presented tonight. The Commission can act on this item to approve, deny or to continue it so that the owner can work with Staff to see if any issues with the design can be worked out. Commission can also put conditions on the project.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that they could vote to have the owner work with Staff, but he feels that he is not ready to recommend approval to the City Council.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that there were a lot of concerns brought up tonight and Staff can work with the applicant at redesigning the project. He wants to make everyone aware that the item before the Commission tonight is a subdivision map. He also reminds the Commission that SB9 law allows owners to build three units per lot, 1 single family unit, 1 ADU and 1 Junior ADU on each lot without any discretionary approvals. So if this project is denied, they could come back tomorrow with an SB9 application and the City wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 7
January 15, 2026
Senior Planner Moore stated that the difference between the lot split and SB9 is that SB9 requires the owner to live on one of the parcels.

Chairman Bratt is concerned and would like to see the applicant work with Staff to provide additional parking and possibly have single story homes, but he’s not sure if the Commission can require that.

He would like to see if added landscaping could help with the privacy issue between the new homes and the existing homes. He also stated that based on the proposed project that he feels it would be unnecessary to make the owner underground the existing utilities when the rest of Cienega isn’t underground.

Commissioner Barnes agreed with Chairman Bratt on the undergrounding requirement. He would also add to the list of things to explore, a more robust landscape plan because he feels that two new trees seem sparse.

Commissioner Green stated that she does like that the ADU on the corner of Parcel 2 is a single story for sight issues, but she would like to see all the structures be single story.

Commissioner Barnes encouraged the applicant to be mindful of the neighbors and the concerns they voiced tonight.

Commissioner Shirley asked for clarification on how many units per parcel the law allows.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that SB9 law allows one single family home, one ADU and one JADU and if this was what was proposed, it doesn’t require any type of public hearing and the City can approve these projects at Staff level. The parcel map is what kicked it into a discretionary review that has come before the Commission tonight. The applicant could scrap this project, come back and propose an SB9 project which would be signed into plan check without Planning Commission review. A lot of the concerns that were discussed tonight would still be there and the project would be approved at Staff level. Staff would be happy to work with the applicants to try to come up with the best project for the community.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that this application involves a code amendment to SP-17 regarding parking requirements and will apply citywide to all gas stations with a convenience store.

Vice-Chairman Davis asked if there are other convenience stores that have restrictions in size.

Senior Planner Moore stated that this is the only one in San Dimas.

Vice-Chairman Davis asked if the MCTA to the parking is consistent with other cities.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that each City is different and has different parking requirements. He feels that the parking change will benefit the other gas stations with convenience stores, and he doesn’t see the change having a major impact.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that there’s exterior equipment such as ice machines, are those going to remain on the exterior or be moved to the interior of the building.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that there should be space inside for the ice machines.

Vice-Chairman Davis clarified that the new MCTA would require this gas station to have eleven parking spaces.

Senior Planner Moore stated yes, eleven will be required under the proposed code update, but the site already has twelve existing spaces, so they meet the requirement.

Director of Community Development Torrico stated that there is sufficient parking on site, but they will be resurfacing the parking lot so there will be some restriping for the stalls.

Commissioner Barnes asked if the city requires two doors in and out of the building.

Senior Planner Moore stated that might be a requirement by the Fire Department or Building and Safety. This will be reviewed during plan check.

Chairman Bratt opened the public hearing.

Speaker 1 – Applicant Michael Ramirez – Thanked Staff for taking their time on this project. Their goal is to remodel and bring this station up to San Dimas standards. They will be doing new branding at this station, bringing in ten different types of coffee, allergen free products, Thrifty ice cream, Nathan’s Hot Dogs, and boar’s head deli meats. The new concept is fresher food choices for the community.

Commissioner Barnes asked how many employees would be working on site.

Speaker 1 stated that there will be three employees per shift and three shifts per day, since they are open 24 hours. Employees will walk around the exterior of the building to make sure people aren’t loitering and they will also be moving around the interior of the building stocking products, keeping things clean and making sure people are not loitering.

Commissioner Barnes asked if the employees would be taking up the on-site parking spaces.

Speaker 1 stated that it is possible, however, some employees bus there, some get dropped off, it just depends on the employee’s personal situation.

Chairman Bratt closed the public hearing.

Vice-Chairman Davis stated that he remembers when the convenience store requirement was put in the code. The community came out to speak in favor of limiting the store requirements so that it wouldn’t take away from the sales of nearby stores. However, he likes the proposed concept and feels that it will have a lot of business from the surrounding buildings especially.

Commissioner Green stated that she feels it will improve the looks of the building and the neighborhood. She asked if there will be EV chargers at the station.

Speaker 1 stated most likely two EV Chargers.

Commissioner Barnes stated he feels this is a great project. He feels service bays are dated and aren’t used anymore. The proposed project will bring the station up to date.
