CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: January 25, 2022
SUBJECT: 2022 COMMUNITY SERVICES AND ARTS GRANTS
DEPARTMENT: Recreation and Community Services
PRESENTER: Janine Prado

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the 2022 Community Services and Arts Grants Committee's program funding recommendations in an amount not to exceed $91,000 for Community Services Grants and $89,000 for Arts Grants, for a total of $180,000.

2. Direct staff to execute Grants Program Agreements with the agencies approved for funding.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) has provided funds for community organizations through the Community Services and Arts Grants program for approximately 32 years. Each year, a Grants Committee is assembled to determine funding categories, review and rate applications, and make funding recommendations for community service and arts projects throughout Santa Clarita.

This year’s Grants Committee (Committee) for Community Services and Arts Grants included Mayor Pro Tem Jason Gibbs; Councilmember Marsha McLean; Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Commission Chair Dianna Boone; Arts Commission Chair Dr. Michael Millar; one City staff member from the Neighborhood Services department, and two staff members from the Community Development Department. The Arts Grants rating process was revised last year to include a five-member Peer Review Rating Panel.

The composition of the Peer Review Rating Panel follows a similar approach to the one utilized for the Artist Selection Committees as part of the Public Art Program. The five-member Peer Review Rating Panel includes the following members:

1. Arts Commission Chair, Dr. Michael Millar
5 Packet Pg. 21

2. Local Arts Educator, Chebon Marshall, California Institute of the Arts

3. Local Arts Advocate, Sara McDaniels, Arts for Santa Clarita and iLead Schools

4. Regional Arts Advocate, Angela Gaspar-Milanovic, Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture

5. Regional Arts Expert, Marcus Kuiland-Nazario, 18th Street Arts Center

The Committee continues to be responsible for determining funding categories for both the Arts and Community Services Grants, rating applications, and making funding recommendations for the Community Services Grants Program.

The Committee selected “City of Santa Clarita Community Benefit” as the priority funding focus area. The funding limit per each Community Services and Arts grants award was up to $5,000.

With the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget, the City Council approved a budget for the Community Services and Arts Grants program of $180,000. The allocated amount for each grant program is $90,000 for Community Services and $90,000 for Arts and Arts Organization Capacity.

Community Services Grants - Twenty-six (26) Community Services Grant applications were received, with grant requests totaling $122,365. This year’s grant program includes a recommendation from the Committee to fund 19 Community Services Grant applications with a total grant allocation of $91,000. Attachment A provides a list of the 19 agencies and programs recommended for funding.

Arts Grants -Twenty-Four (24) Arts Grant applications were received for both the Arts and Arts Organization Capacity categories, with grant requests totaling $118,000. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s funding categories once again did not include the Santa Clarita Presents category. This year’s Committee recommends funding 18 applications totaling $89,000.

Attachment B provides a list of the 18 recommended agencies and programs.

As part of the process to select grant recipients, the Committee used a combination of rankings and discussion to select the final proposed grant recipients. To recommend funding for as many proposals as possible utilizing the balance from the Arts Grants, the Committee recommends funding one additional Community Services Grant by distributing funds at a lower value than requested, ensuring a broader reach into the community.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF AN OFFER OF DEDICATION, FOR

PRIVATE AND FUTURE STREET PURPOSES, ALONG THE EAST

SIDE OF ALDERBROOK DRIVE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of an offer of dedication, for private and future street purposes, along the east side of Alderbrook Drive, as described in Exhibit “A” Legal Description and as shown on Exhibit “B” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

2. Direct the City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s office.

BACKGROUND

The offer of dedication to be vacated was originally dedicated to the County of Los Angeles by Parcel Map No. 7045, which recorded on July 26, 1979. The 20-foot-wide dedication is located along the east portion of Alderbrook Drive, from Cindy Road (formerly known as Pinksand Road) to Cleardale Street, as shown on the attached Location Map. The offer of dedication on Parcel Map No. 7045 was for private and future street purposes, however, this small strip of Alderbrook Drive is not needed for public road purposes.

The 20-foot-wide dedicated private and future street crosses four existing residential lots, and the owner of these lots has requested the vacation. The remaining 40-foot-wide portion of the private street, Alderbook Drive, is adequate to serve the existing residential parcels to the southwest and the four residential lots to the northeast.

In compliance with Section 8340 of the Streets and Highways Code, City staff coordinated with public utilities and determined that there are no public utility facilities in place that would be 7 Packet Pg. 29

affected by this vacation and no reservation of easement is necessary for prospective public use.

Per Section 8331 of the Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local agency may summarily vacate a street or highway if both of the following conditions exist:

(a) For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel; and
(b) No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.

Both of these conditions exist, therefore, staff is recommending the offer of dedication be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

promoting affordable housing, reducing the impact to residential neighborhoods from natural or man-made hazards, ensuring sufficient emergency access and evacuation routes in areas subject to wildland fire danger, retaining open space for multifamily residential units, requiring high quality architecture, and implementing flood and fire safety measures.

B. The proposal is allowed within the applicable underlying zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this code;

The UDC amendments do not require a consistency finding with the existing development code because the project would amend the UDC in general. In addition, State law, California Government Code Section 65852.21, preempts the density limitation established by the General Plan and underlying zones. This means that units created pursuant to SB9, do not count toward residential zoning density and are consistent with zoning.

C. The proposal will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, or be materially detrimental or injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located; and

Nothing contained in the proposed amendments would endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public. Two-unit residential development and urban lot splits are permitted by right under State law. Implementation of the proposed amendments would minimize the potential hazard to the public from flood and fire danger compared to State standards, and implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan Safety Element to the extent feasible under State law.

D. The proposal is physically suitable for the site. The factors related to the proposal’s physical suitability for the site shall include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. The design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics are suitable for the proposed use;

2. The highways or streets that provide access to the site are of sufficient width and are improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such proposal would generate;

3. Public protection service (e.g., Fire protection, Sheriff protection, etc.) are readily available; and

4. The provision of utilities (e.g. potable water, schools, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, etc.) is adequate to serve the site.

8.a
Packet Pg. 42
Attachment: Ordinance (Second Reading of SB 9 Implementation Ordinance)

The proposal is physically suitable for the site in terms of location, shape, size, and operating characteristics. The amendments permit ministerial approval of two-unit residential developments and urban lots splits as mandated by State law, and as described above, State law requires that the City find that two-unit residential developments and urban lot splits are appropriate for single-family residential zoned property. No development is proposed or would be approved by the amendments, and any future development that may occur under the revised amendments would require separate ministerial reviews at the time the projects are submitted. The City currently receives adequate service from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The project area is likewise served by all applicable utilities. The construction of two-unit residential development and urban lot splits may increase the need for fire or police protection services or demand for utilities. However, are permitted by State law, regardless of whether the City regulates them and, therefore, nothing in the proposed amendments would increase the need for fire or police protection services, or increase demand for utilities.

SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL FINDINGS FOR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT 21-003. Based upon the foregoing facts and findings for UDC 21-003, the City Council hereby find as follows:

A. The amendment is consistent with the adjacent area, if applicable; B. The amendment is consistent with the principles of the General Plan;

The proposed amendments are consistent with the adjacent area and consistent with the principles of the General Plan. The proposed amendments would not alter the General Plan Land Use Map or Zoning Map. As described above, two-unit residential development and urban lot splits are considered by State law to be consistent with the City’s zoning. Construction of two-unit residential developments and urban lot splits as mandated by State law could increase development densities or population projections within the City; however, the proposed amendments would not further change development densities or population projections for the City.

Specifically, the proposed amendments would implement the following objectives and policies of the General Plan:

Objective LU 3.1: Provide for a diversity of housing types available to provide safe and suitable homes for all economic levels, household sizes, age groups and special needs groups within the community.

Policy LU 3.1.1: On the Land Use Map, designate adequate land for residential use at various densities to provide a mix of housing opportunities for all segments of the population, including attached, detached, senior, and mixed-use housing types, which are consistent with community character and meet the region’s housing goals.

Policy LU 3.1.2: Provide a mix of housing types within neighborhoods that accommodate households with varied income levels.

8.a
Packet Pg. 43
Attachment: Ordinance (Second Reading of SB 9 Implementation Ordinance)

Policy LU 3.1.5: Promote development of housing that is affordable to residents, including households with incomes in the very low, low, and moderate income classifications, through provision of adequate sites on the Land Use Map, allowance for density bonuses and other development incentives.

Objective LU 3.3: Ensure that the design of residential neighborhoods considers and includes measures to reduce impacts from natural or man-made hazards.

Policy LU 3.3.1: Identify areas subject to hazards from seismic activity, unstable soils, excessive noise, unhealthful air quality, or flooding, and avoid designating residential uses in these areas unless adequately mitigated.

Policy LU 3.3.2: In areas subject to wildland fire danger, ensure that land uses have adequate setbacks, fuel modification areas, and emergency access routes.

Policy LU 3.4.8: Require architectural design treatment along all sides of new housing to promote continuity of architectural scale and rhythm and avoid the appearance of blank walls (360-degree
enhancement).

The proposed amendments are consistent with the objectives and policies listed above.

Two-unit residential developments and urban lot splits provide diversity in the local housing stock, increasing the number of homes available. The proposed amendments incorporate important regulations not addressed by the general State regulations. These regulations include reducing the impacts to residential neighborhoods from natural or man-made hazards, ensuring sufficient emergency access and evacuation routes are provided in areas subject to wildland fire danger, ensuring development of affordable housing units for lower income households, and promoting architectural design consistent with the existing community.

The proposed amendments are also consistent with the Circulation Element and Safety Element of the General Plan, including the following Circulation and Safety objectives and policies.

Objective C 2.5: Consider the needs for emergency access in transportation planning.

Policy C 2.5.2: Ensure that new development is provided with adequate emergency and/or secondary access for purposes of evacuation and
emergency response; require two points of ingress and egress for every subdivision or phase thereof, except as otherwise approved for small subdivisions where physical constraints preclude a second access point.

8.a
Packet Pg. 44
Attachment: Ordinance (Second Reading of SB 9 Implementation Ordinance)

Objective S 2.4: Implement flood safety measures in new development.

Policy S 2.4.1: Require that new development comply with FEMA floodplain management requirements.

Policy S 2.4.2: On the Land Use Map, restrict the type and intensity of land use in flood-prone areas, or require flood-proof construction, as deemed appropriate.

Objective S 3.2: Provide for the specialized needs of fire protection services in both urban and wildland interface areas.

Policy S 3.2.1: Identify areas of the Santa Clarita Valley that are prone to wildland fire hazards, and address these areas in fire safety plans.

Policy S 3.2.5: Ensure adequate secondary and emergency access for fire apparatus, which includes minimum requirements for road width, surface material, grade, and staging areas.

The proposed amendments support the City’s goals to provide for adequate emergency access, including providing secondary access for evacuation and emergency response; implementation of flood safety measures and compliance with Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) floodplain management requirements; and consideration of wildland fire hazards.

C. Approval of the amendment will be in the interest of public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare and in conformity with good zoning practice;

UDC 21-003 supports the public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare of the community, and is in conformity with good zoning practice because the proposed amendments would be consistent with State law and would allow the City to regulate two-unit residential developments and urban lot splits to the maximum extent possible.

This will allow the City to maximize public health, convenience, safety, and general welfare, and maximize conformance with good zoning practice.

D. The amendment is consistent with other applicable provisions of this code; and E. Is necessary to implement the General Plan and/or that the public convenience, the general welfare or good zoning practice justifies such action.

UDC 21-003 is consistent with the applicable provisions of the UDC because the proposed revisions would allow the City to best regulate two-unit residential developments and urban lots splits as permitted by State law. Therefore, the amendments would promote the general welfare and public convenience and would constitute good zoning practice.

17.57.025 Two-unit residential developments.

A. Purpose and Findings.

1. The purpose of this section is to provide regulations for the establishment of two-unit residential developments in single-family residential zones and to define an approval process for such two-unit residential developments consistent with Government Code Sections 65852.21, or any successor statute. The intent of this section is to provide opportunities for more affordable housing in existing single-family residential zones as mandated by state law. It is also the goal to provide development standards to ensure the orderly development of these units in appropriate areas of the City.

2. Two-unit residential developments are residential uses consistent with the uses permitted in single-family residential zones.

3. Government Code Section 65852.21 preempts the density limitations established by the General Plan and the underlying zones in which two-unit residential developments created pursuant to the requirements of this subsection are permitted. Incompatibility with the City’s density limitations shall not provide a basis to deny a two-unit residential development that otherwise conforms to the requirements of this section.

B. A two-unit residential development containing two residential units within a single-family residential zone (NU1, NU2, NU3, NU4, NU5, UR1, UR2) shall be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing, if the proposed housing meets all of the standards set forth below. For purposes of this section, a two-unit residential development contains two residential units if the development proposes two new units or if it proposes to add one new unit to one existing unit.

1. If a parcel includes an existing single-family residence, one additional unit of not more than 800 square feet may be developed pursuant to this section. No more than 25 percent of the existing exterior structural walls shall be demolished to create the two-unit residential development, unless the existing single-family residence has not been occupied by a tenant in the last three years.

2. If a parcel does not include an existing single-family residence, or if an existing single- family residence is proposed to be demolished in connection with the creation of a two-unit residential development, two units of not more than 800 square feet may be developed pursuant to this section.

8.a
Packet Pg. 49
Attachment: Ordinance (Second Reading of SB 9 Implementation Ordinance)

3. Each unit in a two-unit residential development shall be separated by a distance of at least ten feet from any other structure on the parcel; however, units may be adjacent or connected if the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.

4. Neither accessory dwelling units nor junior accessory dwelling units shall be permitted on a parcel if a two-unit development is proposed or has been approved.

C. A two-unit residential development shall be prohibited in each of the following circumstances:

1. The two-unit residential development would require demolition or alteration of any of the following types of housing:
a. Housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income. b. Housing that is subject to any form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power.
c. Housing that has been occupied by a tenant in the last three years.

2. The parcel subject to the proposed housing development is a parcel on which an owner of residential real property has exercised the owner’s rights under Government Code Section 7060 et seq. to withdraw accommodations from rent or lease within 15 years before the date that the development proponent submits an application.

3. The parcel subject to the proposed housing development is located within a historic district or property included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1, or within a site that is designated or listed as a city or county landmark or historic property or district pursuant to a city or county ordinance.

7. All dwelling units created in connection with a two-unit residential development shall have independent exterior access.

8. For applications that do not involve an urban lot split subdivision pursuant to Chapter

16.28, one of the dwellings on the lot must be the bona fide principal residence of at least one legal owner of the lot containing the dwelling, as evidenced at the time of approval of the two-unit residential development by appropriate documents of title and residency. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide evidence that a Two-Unit Residential Development Covenant has been recorded stating that one of the dwelling units on the lot shall remain owner occupied.

9. A rental of any unit in a two-unit residential development shall be rented for a term of longer than thirty days.

10. Parking. At least one fully enclosed parking space per unit is required, except that parking is not required if the parcel is located within one-half mile walking distance of either a high-quality transit corridor, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, or a major transit stop, as defined in Section 21064.3 of the Public Resources Code, or if there is a car share vehicle located within one block of the parcel.

(1) Lot Coverage
(2) Second Floor Stepbacks
(3) Private Outdoor Space
(4) Fully Enclosed Parking
(5) Oak Tree Preservation
(6) Maximum Number of Stories. If waiving of all the above requirements do not provide for an 800 square foot unit, the building may exceed the maximum number of stories.

After exceeding the maximum number of stories, the applicant must then replace the above objective standards in the opposite order until the unit size is reduced to 800 square feet.

E. Objective Design Standards. Any construction of a two -unit residential development shall comply with the adopted Two-Unit Residential Development Design Standards.

F. Application Requirements.

1. Applicant must submit a title report and affidavit demonstrating compliance with this

Applications for two-unit residential developments conforming to the requirements of this section shall be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing by the director of community development. Incomplete applications will be returned with an explanation of what additional information is required.

2. A proposed two-unit residential development may be denied if the director of community development makes a written finding, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, that the proposed housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact, as defined and determined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code, upon public health and safety or the physical environment and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific, adverse impact.

3. Prior to occupancy, the City Manager, or designee, shall approve an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement governing and encumbering the two-unit residential development and ensuring long-term affordability of the income-restricted unit pursuant to Section 17.57.025(D)(15). The Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement shall be executed by the City Manager, or designee, and the applicant prior to occupancy.

H. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for a two-unit residential development dwelling unit, the property owner shall record a Two-Unit Residential Development Covenant with the County Recorder’s Office, the form and content of which is satisfactory to the City Attorney. The covenant shall notify future owners of the owner occupancy requirements, the approved size and attributes of the units, and minimum rental period restrictions. This covenant shall remain in effect so long as a two-unit residential development exists on the parcel.

I. In cases of conflict between this section and any other provision of this title, the provisions of this section shall prevail. To the extent that any provision of this section is in conflict with State law, the applicable provision of State law shall control, but all other provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect.

SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING AND RESTATING CHAPTER 15.44 OF

THE SANTA CLARITA MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING

INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT
DEPARTMENT: Neighborhood Services
PRESENTER: Darin Seegmiller

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council to conduct a second reading and adopt, “AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING AND RESTATING CHAPTER 15.44 INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT.”

BACKGROUND

At the regular meeting of the City Council on January 11, 2022, the City Council introduced and passed to second reading an ordinance concerning amendments to Chapter 15.44 Integrated Waste Management.

In September 2016, Senate Bill 1383 (SB1383) (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016, Short- Lived Climate Pollutants: Methane Emissions Reductions) was signed into law. This legislation was the most significant waste reduction mandate to be adopted in California in the last 30 years.

According to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), landfills are the third largest source of methane in California. Approximately 34 percent of landfill space is comprised of organic waste. Food waste alone accounts for approximately 17-18 percent of total landfill disposal. The decomposition of organic waste in landfills is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, which are major contributors to climate change.

The goal of SB1383 is to reduce organic waste disposal by 75 percent and increase edible food recovery by 20 percent by 2025, thereby diverting organic waste from landfills and reducing methane emissions. Senate Bill 1383 requires all jurisdictions to implement a mandatory organic 9 Packet Pg. 66

recycling ordinance obligating all businesses and residences to have access to recycling programs that capture food scraps, landscaping waste, and other organic waste materials.

The amendment of Chapter 15.44 of the Santa Clarita Municipal Code is to comply with the State’s mandate. Senate Bill 1383 allows cities to take an educational approach to enforcement of their local ordinance for the first two years of such ordinance being in effect. However, beginning in January 2024, cities must take progressive enforcement actions against organic waste generators that are not in compliance with the local ordinance. Staff analysis of SB1383 shows that cities and counties are required to:

• Provide organic waste collection to all residents and businesses • Develop and adopt an ordinance by January 2022
• Implement an edible food recovery program
• Establish a procurement policy to purchase paper products made with recycled content and purchase recycled organic waste products
• Provide outreach and education for generators, haulers, facilities, edible food recovery organizations, and municipal departments
• Maintain accurate compliance records
• Monitor compliance and conduct enforcement

The new solid waste franchise agreements are set to begin July 1, 2023.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

None by this action.

CHAPTER 15.44 INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT

WHEREAS, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989, commonly referred to as Assembly Bill (AB939), codified in substantial part at Public Resources Code § 40000 et. seq., requires each local jurisdiction in the State to divert 50 percent of discarded materials (base year 1990, state methodology) from landfills, and transformation facilities; and

WHEREAS, AB341 (Chesbro) was enacted by the California Legislature making it a policy goal of the State to divert 75 percent of solid waste away from the landfills by 2020, through source reduction, recycling and composting; and

WHEREAS, AB1826 (Chesbro) was enacted by the California Legislature requiring a business that generates more than two cubic yards of commercial solid waste per week, including multi-family residential complexes to arrange for recycling services specifically for organic waste; and

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1383 (SB1383), the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act of 2016 (Lara), requires California’s Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop regulations to reduce organics in landfills as a source of methane. The regulations place requirements on multiple entities including cities, counties, residential households, commercial businesses and business owners, commercial edible food generators, haulers, self-haulers, food recovery organizations, and food recovery services to support achievement of statewide organic waste disposal reduction targets; and

WHEREAS, SB1383 requires cities to adopt and enforce an ordinance or enforceable mechanism to implement relevant provisions of SB1383 regulations. This ordinance will also help reduce food insecurity by requiring commercial edible food generators to arrange to have the maximum amount of their edible food waste, that would otherwise be disposed, be recovered for human consumption; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Constitution Article 11, § 7, as implemented in part by Public Resources Code § 40059, and the Santa Clarita Municipal Code Chapter 15.44, the City of Santa Clarita (City) has the authority to regulate solid waste generation in the City; and

WHEREAS, organic waste constitutes a substantial percentage of the waste stream in the State and these materials have significant potential for waste reduction and recycling; and

WHEREAS, diverting organic waste from landfills reduces greenhouse gas generation into the environment.
