TO:  Robert Neman, Harvard 826 Property LLC
FROM:  Ronald Brugger, Senior Air Quality Specialist
SUBJECT:  Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact Analysis Memorandum for the proposed Promenade Flats Project in Santa Clarita, California

INTRODUCTION
This air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions impact analysis for the proposed Promenade Flats Project at 26135 Bouquet Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, California (project) has been prepared using methods and assumptions recommended in the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD 1993). This analysis includes a description of existing re
gulatory framework, an assessment of project operational air quality emissions, and an assessment of GHG emissions. Measures to reduce or eliminate significant impacts are identified, where appropriate. All references cited in the memorandum are included in Attachment A.

Project Location
The project site is located along the west side of Bouquet Canyon Road, north of Magic Mountain Parkway and south of Cinema Drive at (Assessor’s Parcel Number 2811‐003‐018), 26135 Bouquet Canyon Road in the community of Valencia. The project site has a Mixed‐Use Corridor (MXC) zoning designation. Figure 1 shows the project location (all figures are in Attachme nt B).

Project Description
The proposed project would remove a portion of the existing parking lot to accommodate a new four‐story, mixed‐use building on 1.2 acres. The proposed project would include a total of 15,741.50 square feet (sf) of commercial use consisting of a 7,266.10 sf first‐floor retail space, a 3,027.40 sf rooftop yoga studio, and the exi
sting 5,448 sf International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant. In addition to the new commercial uses, the proposed building would include four live/work units and 26 one‐bedroom units on floors two through four. A new 14,359 sf (0.33 acre) parking lot would be constructed on an adjacent vacant parcel to offset the parkin g that would be removed as part of the project. Construction of the proposed project would start in January 2024 and would be completed in approximately 12 months. Figure 2 shows the site plan. Project traffic is described in the Transportation Memorandum (LSA 2022).

Land Uses in the Project Vicinity
Land uses surrounding the proposed building include the Las Flores Apartments and the Global Prep Academy to the west of the project site. The new parking lot would be just south of the Las Flores

Climate/Meteorology
Air quality in the planning area is affected not only by various emission sources (e.g., mobile and industry) but also by atmospheric conditions (e.g., wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and rainfall). The combination of topography, low mixing height, abundant sunshine, and emissions from the second‐largest urban area in the United States gives the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) some  of the worst air pollution problems in the nation.

The Santa Clarita Valley is surrounded by the Santa Susana and San Gabriel mountain ranges on the south, east and west, and the Sierra Pelona Mountains on the north. The Valley lies in a transitional microcli
matic zone of the Basin between the “valley marginal” and “high desert” climate types.

Situated far enough from the ocean to escape coastal influences, the Valley’s climate is generally mild with hot summers and sunny, warm winters. Average annual precipitation is about 13 inches, usually received between November and March, alth ough some mountain areas south of the Valley may receive up to 24 inches of precipitation per year.

However, transport of the pollution that is emitted in the southern parts of the Basin and in the San Fernando Valley gets transported by onshore winds up through the Newhall Pass up toward th e Santa Clarita Valley results in high levels of ground‐level ozone every summer. Though Santa Clarita sits between two of the largest pollution areas, Los Angeles and Bakersfield, most of the air quality readings for the Santa Clarita Valley range between 58 to 78 percent below the state average.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Air quality and GHG standards and the regulatory framework are discussed below.

Federal Regulations
Pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The NAAQS were established for six major pollutants, termed “criteria” pollutants. Criteria pollutants are defined as those pollutants for which the federal and State governments have established AAQS, or cri teria, for outdoor concentrations to protect public health.

The EPA has designated the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the Metropolitan Planning Organization responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of the CAA for the Basin.

The United States has historically had a voluntary approach to reducing GHG emissions; however, on April 2, 2007, the United Stat
es Supreme Court ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions under the CAA. The Supreme Court ruled that GHGs fit within the CAA’s definition of a pollutant and that the EPA did not have a valid rationale for not regulating GHGs. In December 2009, the EPA issued an endangerment finding for GHGs under the CAA.

10/9/23 «P:\HAV2001\AQ‐GHG\Products\HAV2001 AQ‐GHG Memo_20231006.docx» 3 On December 7, 2009, the EPA Administrator signed a final action under the CAA, finding that six GHGs (i.e., CO2, methane [CH4], nitrous oxide [N2O], hydrofluorocarbons [HFCs], perfluorocarbons [PFCs], and sulfur hexafluoride [SF6]) constitute a threat to public health and welfare and that the combined emissions from motor vehicles cause and contribute to global climate change (GCC).

Multistate
The Western Regional Climate Action Initiative
The Western Regional Climate Action Initiative is a partnership among seven states including California and four Canadian provinces to implement a regional, economy‐wide cap‐and‐trade system to reduce global warming pollution. The Western Regional Climate Action Initiative will cap GHG emissions from the region’s electr icity, industrial, and transportation sectors with the goal to reduce the heat trapping emissions that cause global warming to 15% below 2005 levels by 2020.

When the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative adopted this goal in 2007, it estimated this would require 2007 levels to be reduced worldwide between 50% and 85% by 2050. California is working closely with the other states and provinces to design a regional GHG re duction program
that includes a cap‐and‐trade approach.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has implemented a cap‐and‐trade program that is also intended to link California and the other member st ates and provinces. The cap‐and‐trade regulation, which is a key element of California’s climate plan, took effect in January 2012 and compliance obligation began in January 2013. The cap‐and‐trade program sets a statewide limit on sources responsible for 85% of California’s GHG emissions and establishes a pric e signal needed to drive long‐term investment in cleaner fuels and more efficient use of energy. As of January 1, 2014, California’s cap‐and‐trade program is linked to Quebec’s pursuant to the Agreement Between the CARB and the Gouvernement du Québec Concerning the Harmonization and Integration of Cap‐ and‐ Trade Programs Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions, in accordance with the direction in CARB Board Resolution 13‐7 (CARB 2013). As of January 1, 2018, California’s cap‐and‐trade program and Québec’s program linked with Ontario’s cap‐and‐trade program. However, on July 3, 2018, the Ontario government revoked its cap‐and‐trade regulation. With On tario’s withdrawal from the linked program, California and Québec will work together to ensure that the environmental integrity and stringency of the cap‐and‐trade program/market is sustained (CARB n.d.‐a).

The program is designed to provide covered entities the flexibility to seek out and implement the lowest‐
cost options to reduce emissions. The first phase of the cap‐and‐trade regulation included electricity generated in and imported into California, large combustion sources (i.e., generally those emitting more than 25,000 metric tons [MT] of carbon dioxide equivalent [CO2e] per year), and certain industrial sectors. The second phase added providers of transportation fuels and other combustion fuels (e.g., natural gas, propane) to the cap‐and‐trade program. The regulation requires that emissions generated by these facilities and combustion of fuels be reduced over time under a declining cap.

Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and  Energy
On October 28, 2013, the Governors of California, Oregon, and Washington and the Premier of British Columbia signed a clean energy pact, known as the Pacific Coast Action Plan on Climate and Energy. Although the Pacific Coast Action Plan does not impose legally enforceable obligat ions and

California Air Resources Board
In 1967, the State Legislature passed the Mulford‐Carrell Act, which combined two Department of Health bureaus (i.e., the Bureau of Air Sanitation and the Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board) to establish CARB. Since its formation, CARB has worked with the public, the business sector, and local governments to find solutions to the Stat e’s  air pollution problems. California adopted the California Clean Air Act (CCAA) in 1988. CARB administers the California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) for the 10 air pollutants designated in the CCAA. These 10 State air pollutants are the 6 criteria pollutants designated by the federal CAA as well as 4 others: visibility‐reduci ng particulates, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfates, and vinyl chloride.

The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, widely known as Assembly Bill (AB) 32, requires CARB to develop and enforce regulations for the reporting and verification of statewide GHG emissions. CARB was directed to set a statewide GHG emissions limit and set a timeline for adopting a scoping plan for
achieving GHG reductions in a technologically and economically feasible manner.

The heart of the bill is the requirement that statewide GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. The bill requires CARB to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum
technologically feasible and cost‐effective GHG reductions.

In 2016, the Legislature passed and Governor Jerry Brown signed, Senate Bill (SB) 32 and AB 197.

SB 32 affirms the importance of addressing climate change by codifying into statute the GHG emissions reductions target of at least 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 contained in Go vernor Brown’s April 2015 Executive Order (EO) B‐30‐15. SB 32 builds on AB 32 and keeps California on the path toward achieving the State’s 2050 objective of reducing emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels, consistent with an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) analysis of the emissions trajectory that would stabilize atmospheric GHG con centrations at 450 parts per million
(ppm) CO2e and reduce the likelihood of catastrophic impacts from climate change (IPCC 2023). The companion bill to SB 32, AB 197, provides additional direction to CARB related to the adoption of strategies to reduce GHG emissions.

CARB adopted the 2022 Scoping Plan Update on December 15, 2022. The 2022 Scoping Plan Update assesses progress toward the statutory
2030 target, while laying out a path to achieving carbon neutrality no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan Update focuses on outcomes needed to achieve carbon neutrality by assessing paths for clean technology, energy deployment, natural and working lands, and others and is designed to meet th e State’s long‐term climate objectives and support a range of economic, environmental, energy security, environmental justice, and public health priorities. Appendix D of the Scoping Plan includes information about project attributes that

Although the 2022 Scoping Plan does not impose any specific mandates or policies that specifically apply to individual development projects such as the proposed project, the Scoping Plan encourages local municipalities to upd ate building codes and establish sustainable development practices for accommodating future growth. Key policies that involve the residential and commercial building sectors that are indirectly applicable to the proposed Project include the implementation of SB 275 (promoting infill development and high‐density housing in high quality transit areas), implementing green building practices (i.e., the California Gre
en Building Standards Code), energy efficiency and
water conservation policies, and waste diversion efforts.

Senate Bill 97 and CEQA Guidelines
In August 2007, the Legislature adopted SB 97, requiring the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to prepare and transmit new California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) gui delines for the mitigation of GHG emissions or the effects of GHG emissions to the California Natural Resources Agency. OPR submitted its proposed guidelines to the Secretary for Natural Resources on April 13, 2009, and the CEQA Guidelines amendments were adopted on December 30, 2009 and became effective on March 18, 2010.

The CE
QA Guidelines amendments do not specify a threshold of significance for GHG emissions or prescribe assessment methodologies or specific mitigation measures. Instead, the amendments encourage lead agencies to consider many factors in performing a CEQA analysis but rely on the lead agencies in making their own significance deter minations based upon substantial evidence. The CEQA Guidelines amendments also encourage public agencies to make use of programmatic mitigation plans and programs from which to tier when they perform individual project analyses.

The CEQA Guidelines amendments require a lead agency to make a good‐faith effort based on the extent possible on scie ntific and factual data to describe, calculate or estimate the amount of GHG emissions resulting from a project. The CEQA Guidelines amendments give discretion to the lead agency whether to (1) use a model or methodology to quantify GHG emissions resulting from a project and which model or methodology to use and/or (2) rely on a qualitati ve analysis or performance‐based standards. The California Natural Resources Agency is required to periodically update the guidelines to incorporate new information or criteria established by CARB pursuant to AB 32.

California Green Building Standards
The California Green Building Standards Code, which is Part 11 of the California Code of Regu lations, is commonly referred to as the CALGreen Code. The first edition of the CALGreen Code was released in 2008 and contained only voluntary standards. The 2022 CALGreen Code was updated in 2022, became effective on January 1, 2023, and applies to non‐residential and r esidential developments.

The CALGreen Code contains requirements for construction site selection, stormwater control during construction, construction waste reduction, indoor water use reduction, material selection, natural resource conservation, site irrigation conservation, and more. The CALGreen Code provides for design options allowing the designer to determine how best to achieve compliance for a given site or building condition. The CAL
Green Code also requires building commissioning, which is a

Regional Air Quality Planning Framework
SCAG is a council of governments for Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura Counties. SCAG is a regional planning agency and a forum for regional issues relating to transportation, the economy and community development, and the environment. Although SCAG is not an air quality management agency, it is responsible for devel oping transportation, land use, and energy conservation measures that affect air quality.

On September 3, 2020, the Regional Council of SCAG adopted Connect SoCal, also known as the 2020–2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy: A Plan for Mobility, Accessibility, Sustainability, and High Quality of Life (a.k.a., 2020–2045 RTP/SCS). The 2020–2 045 RTP/SCS is a long‐range visioning plan that balances future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental and public health goals. Connect SoCal embodies a collective vision for the region’s future and is developed with input from local governments, county transportation commissions (CTCs), tribal governments, non‐profit organizations, businesses and local stakeholders within th
e counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura.

The SCAQMD is the agency principally responsible for comprehensive air pollution control in the Basin. To that end, the SCAQMD, a regional agency, works directly with SCAG, county transportation commissions and local governments, and cooperates actively with State and federal government agencies. The SCAQMD develops air  quality‐related rules and regulations, establishes permitting requirements, inspects emissions sources, and provides regulatory enforcement through such measures as educational programs or fines, when necessary.

Regional Air Quality Management Plan
SCAQMD and SCAG are responsible for formulating and implementing the Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the Basin. The main purpose of an AQ MP is to bring the area into compliance with federal and State air quality standards. SCAQMD prepares a new AQMP every 3 years, updating the previous plan and a 20‐year horizon.

strengthened the NAAQS for ground‐level ozone, lowering the primary and secondary ozone standard levels to 70 parts per billion (ppb). The Basin is classified as an “extreme” nonattainment area. The 2022 AQMP was developed to address the requirements for meeting this standard. SCAQMD adopts rules and regulations to i mplement portions of the AQMP. Several of these rules may apply to project construction or operation. For example, SCAQMD Rule 403 requires the implementation of the best‐available fugitive dust control measure during active construction periods capable of generating fugitive dust emissions from on‐site earth‐moving activities, construction/d
emolition activities, and construction equipment travel on paved and unpaved roads.

Although SCAQMD is responsible for regional air quality planning efforts, it does not have the authority to directly regulate the air quality issues associated with new development projects within the Basin, such as the proposed project. Instead, SCAQMD published the CEQA Air Quality H andbook (SCAQMD 1993) to assist lead agencies, as well as consultants, project proponents, and other interested parties in evaluating potential air quality impacts of projects proposed in the Basin. The CEQA Air Quality Handbook provides standards, methodologies, and procedures for conducting air quality analyses in Environmental Impact Report s and was used extensively in the preparation of this analysis. SCAQMD is currently in the process of replacing the CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) with the Air Quality Analysis Guidance Handbook (SCAQMD n.d.).

To assist the CEQA practitioner in conducting an air quality analysis in the interim while the replacement Air Quality Analysis Guidance Han
dbook is being prepared, supplemental guidance/
information is provided on the SCAQMD website and includes (1) on‐road vehicle emission factors, (2) background carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations, (3) localized significance thresholds (LSTs), (4) mitigation measures and control efficiencies, (5) mobile‐source toxics analysis, (6) off‐road mobile‐ source emission factors, (7) particulat
e matter less than 2.5 microns in size [PM2.5] significance thresholds and calculation methodology, and (8) updated SCAQMD Air Quality Significance Thresholds. SCAQMD also recommends using approved models to calculate emissions from land use projects, such as the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). These recommendations were followed in the preparation of this analysis.

The following SCAQMD rules and regulations would apply to th e proposed project:

Local Regulations
City of Santa Clarita General Plan
Local jurisdictions, such as the City of Santa Clarita, have the authority and responsibility to reduce air pollution through their police power and decision‐making authority. Specifically, the City is responsible for the assessment and mitigation of air emissions resulting from its land use decisions.

The City is also responsible for impl
ementation of the transportation control measures in the AQMP, such as bus turnouts, energy‐efficient streetlights, and synchronized traffic signals.

The Conservation and Open Space Element of the City of Santa Clarita General Plan has identified goals, objectives, and policies aimed at greenhouse gas reduction at the citywid e level (City of Santa Clarita 2011).

City of Santa Clarita Climate Action Plan
The City developed and published its Final Climate Action Plan (CAP) in August 2012. The CAP, part of the General Plan, serves as a component of the general plan document for the City to address GHG
emissions. Using the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan as a starting point, the CAP identifies mitigation measures that can be quantified and translated into significant reductions in the GHG emissions by the year 2020. Measures identified in the City’s CAP will not only meet but exceed the State’s Glob al Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) GHG emission reduction mandate (City of Santa Clarita 2012).

The CAP defines a local threshold of significance for GHG emissions for project level submittals that trigger review by CEQA. Because goals, objectives, and policies approved under the General Plan are forecast to meet the GHG emission reduction target
s mandated by AB 32, development projects
that are able to demonstrate consistency with the General Plan and zoning ordinance will by association demonstrate consistency with the CAP. However, because the CAP is only certified through 2020 it is not utilized for CEQA streamlining in this analysis.

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Certain air districts (e.g., SCAQMD) have created guidelines and requirements to conduct air quality analyses. SCAQMD’s current guidelines, the CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD 1993) with associated updates, were followed in this assessment of air quality and climate impacts for the proposed project.

Based on the State CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G (Public Resource s Code Sections 15000–15387), a project would normally be considered to have a significant effect on air quality if the project would violate any CAAQS, contribute substantially to an existing air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutants concentrations, or conflict with adopted environmental plans and goals of the community in which it is located.

SCAQMD has established daily emissions thresholds for construction and operation of a proposed project in the Basin. The emissions thresholds were established based on the attainment status of the Basin with regard to air quality standards for specific criteria pollutants. Because the concentration standards were set at a level that protects public healt h  with an adequate margin of safety (SCAQMD 2022), these emissions thresholds are regarded as conservative and would overstate an individual project’s contribution to health risks. Table 1 lists the CEQA significance thresholds for construction and operational emissions established for the Basin.

Projects in the Basin with construction‐ or operation‐related emissions that exceed any of their respective emission thresholds would be considered significant under SCAQMD guidelines. These thresholds, which SCAQMD developed and which apply throughout the Basin, apply as both project and cumulative thresholds. If a project exceeds these standards, it is considered to have a projec t‐ specific and cumulative impact.

Localized Impacts Analysis
SCAQMD published its Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology in June 2003 and updated it in July 2008 (SCAQMD 2008), recommending that all air quality analyses include an assessment of both construction and operational impacts on the air quality of nearby sensitive receptors. LSTs represent the maximum emissions from a project site that are not expe cted to result in an exceedance of the NAAQS or the CAAQS for CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10), and PM2.5. LSTs are based on the ambient concentrations of that pollutant within the project’s Source Receptor Area (SRA) and the distance to the nearest sensitive receptor.

For this project, the appropriate SRA is the Santa Clarita Valley area (SRA 13). Sensitive receptors include residences, schools, hospitals, and similar uses that are sensitive to adverse air  quality. As described above, the closest sensitive receptors are the Las Flores Apartments, which are approximately 80 feet (ft) from the west boundary of the building construction and approximately 45 ft from the north boundary of the parking lot construction.

If the total acreage disturbed is less than or equal to 5 acres (ac) per day, then the SCAQMD’ s screening look‐up tables can be used to determine if a project has the potential to result in a significant impact. The project site is approximately 1.2 ac and the parking lot is 0.43 ac. The emissions from the larger site would be greater than the s maller and the minimum distance the LST

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(b) provides that the “determination of whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment calls for careful judgment on the part of the public agency involved, based to the extent possible on scientific and factual data”, and further states that an “ironclad definition of significant eff ect is not always possible because the significance of an activity may vary with the setting.”
Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines includes significance thresholds for GHG emissions. A project would normally have a significant effect on the environment if it would do either of the following:
 Generate GHG  emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment; or
 Conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs.

Currently, there is no statewide GHG emissions threshold that has been used to determine the potential GHG emissions imp
acts of a project. Threshold methodology and thresholds are still being developed and revised by air districts in California.

As described above, the City published its Final CAP in August 2012. The CAP identified measures to support meeting the 2020 GHG emissions goals. However, since the CAP hasn’t been u pdated to be consistent with State goals detailed in SB 32, EO B‐30‐15, and EO S 3‐05 to reduce GHG emissions by 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, the SCAQMD threshold described below was used.

To provide guidance to local lead agencies on determining significance for GHG emissions in  their CEQA documents, SCAQMD convened a GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working Group (Working Group) in 2008. This Working Group proposed a tiered approach for evaluating GHG emissions for development projects where SCAQMD is not the lead agency. The applicable tier for this project is Tier 3, which states that if GHG emissions are less than 3,000 MT CO2e per year, project‐level and cumulative GHG emissions would be less than significant.

Emissions would include criteria air pollutants and GHG emissions. The sections below describe the proposed project’s consistency with applicable air quality plans, estimated project emissions, and the significance of impacts with respect to SCAQMD thresholds.

Air Quality Impacts
Consistency with Applicable Air Quality Plans
A consistency determination plays an essential role in local‐agency project review by linking local planning and unique individual projects to the air quality plans. A consistency determination fulfills the CEQA goal of fully informing local‐agency decision‐makers of the environmental costs of the project under consideratio
n at a stage early enough to ensure that air quality concerns are addressed. Only new or amended General Plan elements, Specific Plans, and significantly unique projects need to undergo a consistency review due to the air quality plan strategy being based on projections from local General Plans.

The AQMP is based on regional growth projections developed by SCAG.  The proposed project is a mixed‐use development that would not house more than 1,000 persons, occupy more than 40 ac of land, or encompass more than 650,000 sf of floor area. Thus, the proposed project would not be defined as a regionally significant project un der CEQA; therefore, it does not meet SCAG’s Intergovernmental Review criteria.

The proposed land use is consistent with the General Plan zoning. Thus, the proposed project, as analyzed, would result in air emissions that are consistent with the City’s plans. The City’s General Plan is consistent with the SCAG Regional Comprehe nsive Plan Guidelines and the SCAQMD AQMP.

Pursuant to the methodology provided in Chapter 12 of the 1993 SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, consistency with the Basin 2016 AQMP is affirmed when a project would not increase the frequency or severity of an air quality standards violation or cause a new violation, and is consistent with the growth assumptions in the AQMP. Consistency review is presented as follows:

1. The project would result in short‐term construction and long‐term operational pollutant emissions that are all less than the CEQA significance emissions thresholds established by SCAQMD, as demonstrated above. Ther efore, the project would not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of an air quality standard violation or cause a new air quality standard violation.

2. The CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD 1993) indicates that consistency with AQMP growth assumptions must be analyzed for new or amended  General Plan elements, Specific Plans, and significant projects. Significant projects include airports, electricity‐generating facilities, petroleum and gas refineries, designation of oil‐drilling districts, water ports, solid‐waste disposal sites, and offshore‐drilling facilities; therefore, as a small coffee shop, the proposed project is not defined as significant.

Based on the consistency an
alysis presented above, the proposed project would be consistent with the regional AQMP.

The Basin is designated as non‐attainment for ozone (O3) and PM2.5 for federal standards and non‐ attainment for O3, PM10, and PM2.5 for State standards. The SCAQMD’s nonattainment status is attributed to the region’s development history. Past, present, and future development projects contribute to the region’s adverse air quality impacts on a cumulative basis. By its very nature, air pollution is largely a cumulative impact. No single project is sufficient in size to, by itself, result in nonattainme
nt of ambient air quality standards. Instead, a project’s individual emissions contribute to existing cumulatively significant adverse air quality impacts. If a project’s contribution to the cumulative impact is considerable, then the project’s impact on air quality would be considered significant.

In developing thresholds of significance for air pollutants, th e SCAQMD considered the emission levels for which a project’s individual emissions would be cumulatively considerable. If a project exceeds the identified significance thresholds, its emissions would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in significant adverse air quality impacts to the region’s existing air quality conditions.

Construction Emissions.  Construction activities prod uce combustion emissions from various sources (utility engines, tenant improvements, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew). Exhaust emissions from construction activities envisioned on site would vary daily as construction activity levels change.

The construction analysis includes estimating the construction equipment that would be used during each construction activity, the hours of use for that  construction equipment, the quantities of earth and debris to be moved, and the on‐road vehicle trips (e.g., worker, soil‐hauling, and vendor trips).

The proposed demolition of the existing 10,645 sf parking lot was estimated by assuming the pavement is 145 pounds per sf, resulting in 772 tons of material to haul. The proposed earthwork for the project assumes th
e site would be balanced (no import or export needed). CalEEMod defaults are assumed for the construction activities, off‐road equipment, and on‐road construction fleet mix and trip lengths. It is expected that construction would start in January 2024 and finish in approximately 16
months. Table 3 lists the tentative project construction schedule.

The construction calculations prepared for this project assumed that dust control measures (watering a minimum of two times daily consistent with SCAQMD Rule 403) would be employed to reduce emissions of fugitive dust during site grading. Furthermore, all construction would need to comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 regarding the emission of fugitive dust. Tabl e 5 lists total construction emissions (i.e., fugitive dust emissions and construction equipment exhausts) that have incorporated the following Rule 403 measures that would be implemented to significantly reduce PM10 emissions from construction:
 Water active sites at least twice daily (locations where grading is to occur shall be thoroughly watered prior to earthmoving).
 Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials, or maintain at least 2 ft (0.6 meter) of freeboard (vertical space between the top of the load and the top of the trailer) in accordance with the requirements of California Vehicle Code Section 23114.  Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour (mph) or less.

These Rule 403 measures were incorporated in the CalEEMod analysis.

Architectural Coatings. Architectural coatings contain VOCs that are part of the O3 precursors.

Based on the proposed project, it is estimated that application of the architectural coatings for the proposed peak construction day would result in a peak of 4 pounds per day (lbs/day) of VOCs. Therefore, VOC emissions from architectural‐coating application would not exceed the SCAQMD VOC threshold of 75 lbs/day.

Odors from Construction Activities. Heavy‐duty equipment in the project area during construction would emit odors, primarily from the equipment exhaust. However, the construction‐produced odors would cease to occur after individual construction is completed.

No other sources of objectionable odors have been identified for the proposed project, and no mitigation measures are r equired.

SCAQMD Rule 402 regarding nuisances states,
“A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such person s or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property.”
The proposed uses are not anticipated to emit any objectionable odors. Therefore, objectionable odors posing a health risk to potential on‐site and existing off‐site uses would not occur as a result of the prop
osed project.

Naturally Occurring Asbestos. The proposed project site is in Los Angeles County, which is among the counties found to have serpentine and ultramafic rock in their soils (California Department of Conservation 2023). However, according to the California Geological Survey, no such rock has been
identified in the project vicinity. Therefore, the potential risk for naturally occurring asbestos during project construction is small and less than significant.

Construction Emissions Conclusions. Tables 5 and 6 show that daily regional construction emissions would not exceed the daily thresholds of any criteria pollutant emission thresh olds established by SCAQMD; thus, during construction, there would be no air quality impacts.

Operational Emissions
Long‐term air pollutant emission impacts are those associated with mobile sources (e.g., vehicle trips), energy sources (e.g., electricity and natural gas) and area sources (e.g., architectural coatings and the use of landscape maintenance equipmen t) related to the proposed project.

10/9/23 «P:\HAV2001\AQ‐GHG\Products\HAV2001 AQ‐GHG Memo_20231006.docx» 16 PM10 emissions result from running exhaust, tire and brake wear, and the entrainment of dust into the atmosphere from vehicles traveling on paved roadways. Entrainment of PM10 occurs when vehicle tires pulverize small rocks and pavement and the vehicle wakes generate airborne dust. The contribution of tire and brake wear is small compared to the other PM emission processes.

Gasoline‐powered engines have small rates of particulate matter emissions compared with diesel‐ powered vehicles. Project traffic is described in the Transportation  Memorandum (LSA 2022).

Energy source emissions result from activities in buildings for which electricity and natural gas are used. The quantity of emissions is the product of usage intensity (i.e., the amount of electricity or natural gas) and the emission factor of the fuel source. Major sources of energy demand i nclude building mechanical systems, such as heating and air conditioning, lighting, and plug‐in electronics, such as refrigerators or computers. Greater building or appliance efficiency reduces the amount of energy for a given activity and thus lowers the resultant emissions. The emission factor is determined by the fuel source, with cleaner energy  sources, like renewable energy, producing fewer emissions than conventional sources.

Typically, area source emissions consist of direct sources of air emissions located at the project site, including architectural coatings and the use of landscape maintenance equipment. Area source emissions associated with the project would include emissions from the use of la ndscaping equipment and the use of consumer products.

Emission estimates for operation of the project were calculated using CalEEMod and are shown in Table 7, below. The primary emissions associated with the project are regional in nature, meaning that air pollutants are rapidly dispersed on release. The peak daily emissions associated with project operations are id
entified in Table 7 for reactive organic gas (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), CO, sulfur oxides (SOx), PM10, and PM2.5.

10/9/23 «P:\HAV2001\AQ‐GHG\Products\HAV2001 AQ‐GHG Memo_20231006.docx» 17 Objectionable Odors.  The SCAQMD addresses odor criteria within the CEQA Handbook. The district has not established a rule or standard regarding odor emissions, rather, the district has a nuisance rule: “Any project with the potential to frequently expose members of the public to objectionable odors should be deemed to have a significant impa ct.”
The proposed project would not include any activities or operations that would generate objectionable odors. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people.

Greenhouse Gas Impacts
Generate Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This section discusses the project’s impacts related to the release of GHG emissions for the construction and operational phases of the project.

Construction Activities. Construction activities associated with maximum buildout would produce combustion emissions from various sources. During construction, GHGs would be emitted through the operation of construction equi pment and from worker and builder supply vendor vehicles, each of which typically use fossil‐based fuels to operate. The combustion of fossil‐based fuels creates GHGs such as CO2, CH4, and N2O. Furthermore, CH4 is emitted during the fueling of heavy equipment. Exhaust emissions from on‐site construction activities would vary daily as construction activity levels change.

The SCAQMD does not have an adopted threshold of significance for construction‐related GHG emissions. Based on SCAQMD guidance, construction emissions were amortized over 30 years (a typical project lifet ime) to be added to the total project operational emissions. Using CalEEMod, it is estimated that construction activities would generate approximately 278 metric tons of CO2e. Thus, the amortized annual construction emissions would be approximately 9 MT of CO2e per year.

Operational GHG Emissions.  Long‐term GHG emissions are typically generated from mobile sources (e.g.,  cars,  trucks  and  buses),  area  sources  (e.g.,  maintenance  activities  and  landscaping),  indirect emissions from sources associated with energy consumption, waste sources (land filling and waste disposal),  and  water  sources  (water  supply  and  conveyance,  treatment,  and  distribution).  Mobile‐ source  GH
G  emissions  would  include  project‐generated  vehicle  and  truck  trips  to  and  from  the project.  Area‐source  emissions  would  be  associated  with  activities  such  as  landscaping  and maintenance  on  the  project  site.  Energy  source  emissions  would  be  generated  at  off‐site  utility providers  as  a  result  of  increased  el ectricity  demand  generated  by  the  project.  Waste  source emissions  generated  by  the  proposed  project  include  energy  generated  by  land  filling  and  other methods of disposal related to transporting and managing project generated waste. In addition, water source  emissions  associated  with  the  proposed  project  are  generated  by  water  supply  and conveyance, water treatm
ent, water distribution, and wastewater treatment.

As described above, this analysis evaluates potential operational emissions associated with the proposed project. Operational GHG emissions were estimated using CalEEMod and the results are presented in Table 8.

Consistency with Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plans
The following discussion evaluates the proposed project according to the goals of the 2022 Scoping Plan, EO B‐30‐15, SB 32, and AB 197.

EO B‐30‐15 added the immediate target of reducing GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. CARB released a sec ond update to the Scoping Plan, the 2017 Scoping Plan, to reflect the 2030 target set by EO B‐30‐15 and codified by SB 32. SB 32 affirms the importance of addressing climate change by codifying into statute the GHG emissions reductions target of at least 40 percent below 1990 leve
ls by 2030 contained in EO B‐30‐15. SB 32 builds on AB 32 and keeps us on the path toward achieving the State’s 2050 objective of reducing emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels.

The companion bill to SB 32, AB 197, provides additional direction to the CARB related to the adoption of st
rategies to reduce GHG emissions. Additional direction in AB 197 intended to provide easier public access to air emissions data that are collected by CARB was posted in December 2016.

In addition, the 2022 Scoping Plan assesses progress toward the statutory 2030 target, wh ile laying out a path to achieving carbon neutrality no later than 2045. The 2022 Scoping Plan focuses on outcomes needed to achieve carbon neutrality by assessing paths for clean technology, energy deployment, natural and working lands, and others, and is designed to meet the State’s long‐term climate objectives and support a range of economic, environmental, energy security, environmental justice, and public health
priorities.

The 2022 Scoping Plan focuses on building clean energy production and distribution infrastructure for a carbon‐neutral future, including transitioning existing energy production and transmission infrastructure to produce zero‐carbon electricity and hydrogen, and utilizing biogas resulting from wildfire
management or landfill and dairy operations, among other substitutes. The 2022 Scoping Plan states that in almost all sectors, electrification will play an important role. The 2022 Scoping

transitioned to zero‐emission as fully possible by 2045, which will reduce the percentage of fossil fuel combustion vehicles.

Energy efficient measures are intended to maximize energy efficiency building and appliance standards, pursue additional efficiency efforts includi ng new technologies and new policy and implementation mechanisms, and pursue comparable investment in energy efficiency from all retail providers of electricity in California. In addition, these measures are designed to expand the use of green building practices to reduce the carbon footprint of California’s new and existing inventory of buildings. As discussed above, the proposed project would compl y with the CALGreen Code,
regarding energy conservation and green building standards. Therefore, the proposed project would comply with applicable energy measures.

Water conservation and efficiency measures are intended to continue efficiency programs and use cleaner energy sources to move and treat water. In creasing the efficiency of water transport and reducing water use would reduce GHG emissions. As noted above, the project would comply with the CALGreen Code, which includes a variety of different measures, including reduction of wastewater and water use. In addition, the proposed project would be required to comply wit h  the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with any of the water conservation and efficiency measures.

The goal of transportation and motor vehicle measures is to develop regional GHG emissions reduction targets for passenger vehicles. Specific regional emission targets for transportation emissions would not  directly apply to the proposed project. The second phase of Pavley standards will reduce GHG emissions from new cars by 34 percent from 2016 levels by 2025, resulting in a 3 percent decrease in average vehicle emissions for all vehicles by 2020. Vehicles traveling to the project site would com ply  with the Pavley II (LEV III) Advanced Clean Cars Program (CARB n.d.‐b).

Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the identified transportation and motor vehicle measures.

The CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan provides Table 3 “Key Residential and Mixed‐Use Project Attributes that Reduce GHGs” in Appendix D. The table is provided by CARB for use in determining whether a proposed residential or mixed
‐use residential development would align with the State’s climate goals, absent a locally or regionally adopted CEQA‐qualified CAP. Table 9 shows the project’s consistency with these attributes.

As described in CARB’s 2022 Scoping Plan, residential and mixed ‐use development projects that incorporate all of the applicable key project attributes are aligned with the State’s priority GHG reduction strategies for local climate action and with the State’s climate and housing goals. As shown in Table 9, the project would be considered to be consistent with the Scoping Plan.

Per CARB guidance, as included in Appendix D of the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan, since the proposed project includes the applicable Local Actions included in Table 9 it would therefore also be considered consistent with the goals of the State and the 2022 Scoping Plan. As such, the proposed project is considered to be consistent with other plans, policies, or regulations adop ted for the purposes of reducing GHGs. Furthermore, as the proposed project would meet all requirements of

In addition, the 2020–2045 RTP/SCS was determined by CARB to achieve CARB’s 2035 GHG reduction targets; therefore, consistency
with the RTP/SCS would demonstrate consistency with the 2022 Scoping Plan. As further discussed in the Transportation Memorandum prepared for the proposed project (LSA 2022), the proposed project meets the City’s vehicle miles traveled screening criteria and would have a less than significant impact on the transportation system based on the significan
ce thresholds in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, the proposed project includes infrastructure to support electrification, and introduces a mix of land uses in an urban area, with residential housing located near workspaces and retail shopping. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the goals of the RTP/SCS.

The low level
of project GHG emissions shown in Table 8 combined with the attributes shown in Table 9 indicate that the project would be compliant with all City, regional, and State GHG emissions reduction plans. Therefore, the proposed project’s GHG emissions would not result in a significant impact.

STANDARD CONDITIONS
Construction
The project is required to comply with regional rules that assist in reducing short‐term air pollutant emissions. SCAQMD Rule 403 requires that fugitive dust be controlled with the best‐available control measures so that the presence of such dust does not remain visible in the atmosphere beyond the property line of the emission source (SCAQMD 2005). In addition, SCAQ MD Rule 403 requires implementation of dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive dust from creating a nuisance off site. Applicable dust suppression techniques from Rule 403 are summarized below.

Implementation of these dust suppression techniques can reduce the fugitive dust generation (and thus the PM10 component). Compliance with these rules would reduce impacts on nearby sensitive receptors (SCAQMD 2005). As shown in Table 5, implementation of Rule 403 measures results in dust emissions below SCAQMD thresholds.

The applicable Rule 403 measures are as follows:
 Apply nontoxic chemical soil stabilizers according to manufacturers’ specifications to all inactive construction areas
(previously graded areas inactive for 10 days or more).  Water active sites at least twice daily (locations where grading is to occur shall be thoroughly watered prior to earthmoving).
 Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials, or maintain at least 2 feet (0.6 meter) of freeboard (vertical space between the top of the loa d and the top of the trailer) in
accordance with the requirements of California Vehicle Code Section 23114.  Pave construction access roads at least 100 feet (30 meters) onto the site from the main road.

10/9/23 «P:\HAV2001\AQ‐GHG\Products\HAV2001 AQ‐GHG Memo_20231006.docx» 22  Reduce traffic speeds on all unpaved roads to 15 mph or less.

The applicable California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) Sustainable (Green) Building Program Measures are:
 Recycle/reuse at least 50 percent of the construction material (including, but not limited to, soil, mulch, vegetation, concrete, lumber, metal, and cardboard) (CalRecycle 2019a).  Use “green building ma
terials” such as those materials that are rapidly renewable or resource‐ efficient, and recycled and manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, for at least 10 percent of the project, as specified on the CalRecycle website (CalRecycle 2019b).

Operations
The proposed project is required to comply with the CALGreen Code and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations established by the California Energy Commission regarding energy conservation and green building standards.

CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis presented above, the construction and operational emissions associated with the proposed project would not exceed SCAQMD established significance thresholds. The proposed project is not expected to produce significant emissions that would affect nearby sensitive receptors. The proposed project would also not result in objectionable odors affecting a substantial numb
er of people. GHG emissions released during operation of the project are estimated to be lower than significance thresholds and would not be cumulatively considerable. Additionally, the project would not conflict with the goals and objectives of State or regional plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of redu cing GHG emissions.

1.2 OVERVIEW OF ANALYSIS PROCEDURES
Analysis of the stormdrain runoff for both the existing and proposed conditions used the same techniques for analysis. Those being as follows:
 Used LA County HydroCalc Program to determine times of concentration and peak flow rates.

Used LA County HydroCalc program to determine the SWQDv from the 85th percentile, 50-yr storm.

1.3 PROJECT PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The project site is the existing Santa Clarita Plaza Commercial Center located at 26111 to 26135 Bouquet Canyon Road, APNs 2811-003-016; -017, and -018. The site analyzed is

4.87 acres with existing infrastructure including buildings, parking lots, and underground utilities. The project proposes the development of an apartment building on the site along with surrounding parking stalls and planters. Additionally, the project site proposes the development of an overflow parking area to provided addition al parking spaces for residents and customers of the neighboring businesses.

1.4 EXISTING & PROPOSED DRAINAGE CONDITIONS
The site’s existing conditions and terrain force the runoff to sheet flow west bound across the parking lots, ultimately reaching existing catch basins that direct the runoff off site via an underground storm drainage system
.

The site’s proposed conditions and modifications change the drainage patterns of the site; the site continues to drain westbound and the runoff is collected by a network of concrete

1.f
Packet Pg. 219
Attachment: CEQA Notice of Exemption (Appeal of the Promenade Flats Mixed Use Project) swales that convey it to catch basins connected to the existing storm drainage system. As part of the scope of work, a currently undeveloped lot will be resurfaced to allow for vehicle access and parking. The runoff will drain through this parking lot and reach a proposed underground infiltration trench beneath this lot.

1.5 HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS
The methodology used to compute stormwater runoff was that described in the latest County of Los Angeles Hydrology Manual. The LA County HydroCalc program was also used for stormwater runoff calculation purposes. A 50-yr Storm is used for this analysis.

The site’s existing conditions were broken up and analyzed as three separate subareas (1A, 2A, and 3A ). These subareas drain westbound, ultimately leaving the site through three outlet points at existing catch basins.

Subarea 1A is the north portion of the site, while subarea 2A is the central portion of the site, and subarea 3A is the southernmost portion of the site. The terrain of the site allows for runoff to sheet flow across the lot and eventually leave the property.

The table
below summarizes the Existing Conditions Hydrologic Analysis.

Subarea Area (ac) Flowline (ft) TC (min) Q50 (cfs)
1A 0.65 343 5 2.23
1B 2.18 374 5 7.61
1C 2.04 740 9 5.29
Site Total 4.87 - - 15.13

There is a total area analyzed is 4.87 acres and generates a Q50 runoff of 15.13 cfs.

In the proposed conditions, the site breaks up into 3 separate subareas (1A, 2A, and 3A).

Subarea 1A consists of the northern half of the project site. This subarea includes a redesigned parking lot, trash enclosure, and a proposed apartment building. The runoff from this subarea drains west through a concrete swale and is intercepted by catch basins and routed off site. Subarea 2A consists of the lower half of the project site. This subarea includes the development of the overflow parking area occurring on APN: 2811-003-016.

R
unoff from this subarea sheet flows westward and is collected at a catch basin and a proposed storm drainage pipe conveys the runoff to a proposed area of infiltration.

1.f
Packet Pg. 220
Attachment: CEQA Notice of Exemption (Appeal of the Promenade Flats Mixed Use Project) The table below summarizes the Proposed Conditions Hydrologic Analysis:

Subarea Area (ac) Flowline (ft) TC (min) Q50 (cfs)
1A 2.83 417 6 8.99
1B 2.04 740 8 5.82
Site Total 4.87 - - 14.81

Comparing the existing and the proposed conditions, the runoff caused by the 50 year- storm decreased by -0.32 cfs for the proposed site.

The decrease in flow rate is due to the change in flow line lengths between the subareas analyzed in the two separate conditions. In the existing conditions, the site has three outlet locations and therefore is divided into three subareas. The proposed improvements modify the drainage pattern to only have two outlet points. Because of this, the runoff was rerouted and consequently extended the flow line length. This caused the time of concentration (Tc) to increase and therefore minimizes the amount of runoff at the point of confluence at any point in time, resulting in a decreased runoff rate.

1.6 LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
The methodology used for the Low Impact Development Analysis was that described in the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works: Low Impact Development Standards manual February 2014. The HydroCalc Program was also used for Stormwater Quality Design Volume (SWQDv) calculation purposes. The 85th Percentile storm for the site is 0.95
inches, which is greater than the 0.75 inch storm; the 85th Percentile Storm was used to generate the SWQDv.

The site is analyzed as 1 subarea (1A), where the runoff drains westward.

The method in which the SWQDv will be handled will be through an underground infiltration device beneath the proposed overflow parking lot.

The table below summarizes the Low Impact Development Analysis.

The total area analyzed is 2.04
acres not including offsite areas and generates a Q PM of

0.36 cfs and a SWQDv of 5275 ft3.

1.7 HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS

1.f
Packet Pg. 221
Attachment: CEQA Notice of Exemption (Appeal of the Promenade Flats Mixed Use Project) The methodology used to analyze the Hydraulic capacity of the drainage devices on the site is Manning's equation. The roughness coefficient used is n=0.009 for PVC pipe and the design flow for these pipes are 70% full. The design storm used is the 50-yr storm runoff.

The proposed drainage system onsite is comprised of a 10” PVC pipe. The slope of the pipe is 9.3% and the actual flow in the system is calculated to be 5.82 cfs. The storm drain system has been designed to flow 70% full however the proposed pipe drains at a much lower volume than the 70% design value. See Section 4.0 for information on the pipe
system including flow depth, flow velocity, and pipe max capacity.

1.9 CONCLUSION
The site is comprised of 3 lots with existing infrastructure located at 26111 to 26135 Bouquet Canyon Road in the City of Santa Clarita, Ca. The runoff of the site generally sheet flows to the west where it enters an underground drainage system and drains offsite.

The proposed conditions include the incorporation of a residential building and improvements to the parking lot area to provide additional parking stalls and planters.

The runoff from areas that are affected by the improvements will continue to drain west and will be collected by respective catch basins and conveyed to an underground infiltration trench within the property. The overall drainage design of the site has been adequately designed to handle the runoff of a 5
0-yr storm and is consistent with the
requirements of the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works.

COMMITTEE REPORTS/COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
Councilwoman McLean urged members of the community to read non-partisan agency reviews of propositions slated for the November ballot, as some were seeking billions of dollars in bonds, acquiring more state debt, and requiring tax payers to pay for them. Councilwoman McLean mentioned that at the last City Council meeting she suggested the formation of an ad hoc committee for LA 2028 and thanked staff for the memo that outlines potential opportunities; however, she seeks consensus from Council for an item to be placed on the agenda for the August 27, 2024, City Council meeting to discuss how the City may be involved in the Olympics. Councilmember Gibbs requested a presentation of the options available be conducted at the August Council meeting by LA 2028 staff; Mayor Smyth confirmed consensus, and suggested that there may be opportunities, whether that would be for Olympic or Paralympic games. City Manager Ken Striplin confirmed Council’s direction to proceed with the item at the August City Council meeting whether or not LA 2028 staff are available for a presentation, and Council concurred. Councilwoman McLean spoke on the Fourth of July festivities and how she enjoyed seeing all the families and children at the event; spoke of the high-speed rail board meeting in which the Burbank to Palmdale section was approved, implementation is yet to be determined, and is looking forward to working with them on the impacts, including Bee Canyon.

Councilmember Weste agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Miranda’s comments; thanked the Elks club for passing out flags during the Fourth of July parade; and asked the community to consider the increasing levels in crime all over Los Angeles County when voting for the District Attorney in November and to remember why we vote, which is for the next generation. 2 Packet Pg. 245

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

City Council receive a presentation on the Central Park River of Lights, Project P4033, review the two options presented, and provide direction to staff to proceed with Option One or Option Two.

Addressing the Council was Di Zimmerman on behalf of Tony Maldonado. Mayor Smyth responded to the public comments as misleading, offensive and wrong, and invited Mr.

Maldonado to address the Council directly.

Councilmember Weste commented that she was excited to finish the park with the lights and art piece and commended City staff for doing a marvelous job. She mentioned that Central Park is important for the community and was proud to support the project, which is becoming a vibrant place for family fun and celebrations, where the City’s water is treated and will provide an educational opportunity, and mentioned that Central Park will be an area used for different organizations for events and parking.

Councilmember Gibbs commented on the City being called the City of the Arts and believed that Central Park could be one of the biggest art pieces the City has ever done. He also mentioned that to be in a City that has been managed in a way that allows the opportunity to do something like Central Park and the buildout is incredible.

Councilwoman McLean commented that the amount of money to complete Central Park is significant; confirmed with City Manager Ken Striplin the City has the money available; clarified for the community that there is money set aside for certain things and there are certain things the City was not allowed to take money away from to spend on something else; stated that the City Council fully supports the Senior Center; and confirmed that the funding taken away from the Senior Center was a state reduction, not the City, and the state had the ability not to do what they did, but the state did it anyway.

Mayor Smyth commented that because of the City’s fiscal health and due to the Sheriff’s Station coming in under budget, the City is able to offset some of the costs and mentioned that Central Park has become a focal point of the City.

On a roll call vote Council approved option two of proceeding with the River of Lights Project and appropriating funds as identified in the fiscal impact. 2 Packet Pg. 246

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jul 9, 2024 6:00 PM (Consent Calendar)

commented that Supervisor Barger will continue to lead this project through the County Board of Supervisors and ultimately transferred to the City of Santa Clarita.

Administrative Analyst Amber Rodriguez provided the presentation.

Mayor Smyth inquired as to whether the City was accounting for the cost to upgrade the previous Senior Center property, and Mr. Striplin responded that the three-phase funding plan deals with assuming the operations of William S. Hart Park, and the Senior Center would be a future capital project once the use study is done. Mr. Striplin also stated that the issues raised by speakers are addressed in the transfer documents: the barnyard was not going away and the City is creating staff positions to provide those services.

Mayor Pro Tem Miranda requested clarification of language in the negotiated terms regarding use the former Senior Center, and Mr. Striplin responded that the location will be a community recreational and arts center, not a community center.

Councilmember Weste stated that William S. Hart Park will be a wonderful place for the community and will leave a legacy for everyone. Councilmember Weste thanked the City Council for going through the long process; remarked that she is so excited for the City; thanked Mr. Striplin and staff; and with profound gratitude offered her motion to accept the transfer William. S. Hart Park to the City.

Councilmember Gibbs inquired as to the timing of the curator and supervisor positions, and Mr.

Striplin responded that the phasing plan anticipates taking over the park on July 1, 2025; therefore, staff who will be at the park location will already be hired, onboarded, and have shadowed County staff prior to that. The museum positions recruitment will begin in three to four months, and the second phase will involve maintenance staff recruitment. Councilmember Gibbs complimented staff; thanked Supervisor Barger and her team; and expressed how proud he was to second the motion.

Councilwoman McLean mentioned that she initially had questions regarding the barnyard and bison, but is pleased they are included in the plan as they are such an asset. She commented that the current park employees were fabulous, and anything to make the William S. Hart Park the City’s park is a great thing. Councilwoman McLean reflected on taking a class on indigenous peoples of California and as point of information stated that there were thirty-two tribes in the southern region of California and bringing the culture over to the City of Santa Clarita is a wonderful thing and was happy to support this item.

Mayor Smyth agreed that the William S. Hart Park is a legacy item for the Council, City, and Supervisor Barger, and for the City to make the transition and investment, the park will be great asset for the community.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEMS
ITEM 1
SANTA CLARITA DISTRICT 3 GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION - NOVEMBER 5, 2024
City Council consideration of course of action to be taken regarding the District 3 seat as a result of only one nominee at close of the nomination period.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

City Council receive presentation and determine whether to move forward with the election for District 3 with only one candidate listed on the ballot, or adopt a resolution canceling the election for District 3 and appointing Jason Gibbs, the sole nominee for District 3, to the four-year District 3 Council seat term which begins in December 2024 with an estimated cost savings of $120,000 for the City.

City Clerk Mary Cusick provided the presentation.

Mayor Pro Tem Miranda commented on saving the City $120,000 by appointing Jason Gibbs.

Mayor Smyth inquired, and City Clerk Mary Cusick confirmed, no other person may be appointed to the City Council seat. Mayor Smyth observed whether this was the democracy the plaintiffs were looking for where there are no challengers in one district and only three in the 4 Packet Pg. 258
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Aug 19, 2024 5:00 PM (Consent Calendar)

other as opposed to previous at-large elections where there were multiple candidates across all areas of the City and demographics wanting to run. Mayor Smyth offered his congratulations to Councilmember Gibbs and shared Council's support in moving forward with his appointment.

Councilwoman Mclean mentioned that Councilmember Gibbs had been a great Councilmember representing the City and their residents equally and knows he will continue to do so. She also remarked that there was no reason to spend $120,000 on an election, when the City has had to spend a whole bunch of money to fight the egregious districting that was put upon the City.

Councilwoman McLean asked a hypothetical question regarding a class action lawsuit to which City Attorney Montes responded that there was a lawsuit brought in San Diego County against a city that transitioned to districts; however, the lawsuit was thrown out under the CVRA.

Mr. Montes clarified that the motion was to adopt the resolution, cancel the District 3 election, and appoint Jason Gibbs.

CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 27, 2024
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR WILEY CANYON
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (MASTER CASE 20-238) CONTRACT

INCREASE
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PRESENTER: Erika Iverson

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Authorize an expenditure increase to the Dudek contract for the preparation of the Wiley Canyon Development Project Environmental Impact Report (Master Case 20-238) from $239,960 to $335,200 and include a contingency in the amount of $33,520, for a total contract amount not to exceed $368,720.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The Wiley Canyon Development Project (Project), Master Case 20-238, is a request by Wiley Canyon, LLC, (applicant) to develop a mixed-use development consisting of a four-story senior living facility, ground-floor commercial, and 379 apartment units within three planning areas on an approximately 31-acre site east of Interstate 5 and west of Wiley Canyon Road, between Hawkbryn Avenue and Calgrove Boulevard in the community of Newhall, as shown on the attached aerial map. The property is located in the Mixed Use Neighborhood (MX-N) zone and is within the Calgrove Corridor/Smiser Ranch area, which has a maximum allowable development of 830,000 square feet, as identified in the City of Santa Clarita’s (City) General Plan.

The Project was formally submitted on October 28, 2020. An environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was initiated. Based on anticipated impacts associated with the Project, the appropriate CEQA document required for the Project is an 6 Packet Pg. 272

Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Because the City does not have the in-house expertise or resources available to complete an EIR, an outside environmental consulting firm is required to complete this task. In August of 2021, staff solicited proposals from qualified firms to prepare the EIR.

On November 9, 2021, the City Council awarded the contract to Dudek for a contract amount of $239,960, with a ten percent contingency of $23,996, for a total contract amount not to exceed $263,956. Since then, the Draft EIR has been prepared and circulated for public review, and two public hearings have been held by the Planning Commission.

The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review beginning March 1, 2024, and ending April 15, 2024. During the review period, the first Planning Commission meeting was held on March 19, 2024, to provide an introduction to the project proposal and an overview of the Draft EIR. Following the meeting on March 19, 2024, and the close of the public review of the Draft EIR, comments received on the Draft EIR were reviewed and organized, and individual comments were numbered for purposes of preparing responses. Based on comments from the Planning Commission, the applicant made revisions to the site plan. A second Planning Commission meeting was held on June 18, 2024, to provide an overview of the revisions proposed by the applicant, and the Planning Commission continued the hearing process to a date uncertain while the applicant finalizes the site plan, addresses requests for more information from the Planning Commission, and all responses to comments on the Draft EIR are prepared.

CONTRACT AMENDMENT
The original proposal for the preparation of the EIR assumed that no more than 100 individual comments would be received on the Draft EIR. Following the close of the public review and the Planning Commission hearing on March 19, over 500 individual comments were identified.

Preparation of the Final EIR, which will be considered by the Planning Commission at a future hearing, will include responses to all comments that were received on the Draft EIR. In addition, to address site plan changes made by the applicant in response to comments, the Final EIR will include a chapter for changes to the Draft EIR to identify instances where revisions to the Draft EIR are appropriate.

The high volume of individual comments that require a response in the Final EIR and the revisions to the site plan, result in the additional work to be done by the consultant, and therefore the need to update the contract with Dudek. The updated total cost of the Dudek proposal is $335,200. Staff has included a ten-percent contingency for $33,520, for a total contract amount not to exceed $368,720. The applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the preparation of the EIR, including the additional costs of this proposed amendment. The applicant will deposit the additional funds into a trust account to be maintained by the City. Any unspent funds would be returned to the applicant following completion of the project review and public hearing process.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

There will be no fiscal impact. All costs associated with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Wiley Canyon Development Project will be the responsibility of the applicant.

support the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the proposed Wiley Canyon

Project
(Project). This CO
-
1 requests

an augment to Task 5 related to the Responses to
Comments effort required for the Final EIR.

In the proposal prepared for the Project,
dated

September 2021, for purposes of cost estimation Dudek assumed response to no more than 100 individual public comments on the Draft EIR (noting that a single comment letter could contain multiple comments). While Dudek assumed that comments received relate d to technical items
prepared by other team members would be addressed by the appropriate individual and provided to Dudek for final incorporation into the Draft Final EIR document, the number of comment letters and individual comments far exceeds the orig
inal proposal assumption. At the close of the public review period, Dudek received a total of 60 letters, broken down as follows: 10 agency comment letters ,
4 organization comment letters
,
46 individual
comment letters
.

Several of these comment letters are in excess of 30 pages containing as many as 97 comments.

In total, 503 comments were bracketed
, organized, and
either
assigned

to technical team mem
bers or are b
eing
responded to by Dudek
.

The attached CO
-
1 and Cost Estimate are provided for your
consideration.

As shown in CO
-
1, Dudek u
tilized funds
for future
sub
tasks
within Task 5

to review, organize, and
prepare draft responses to
the

comments received. As
such, we are requesting
CO
-
1 to
complete

responses to comments,
replenish
future

budgeted tasks,
and prepare

the
Draft Final EIR, Final EIR, and certification support documents.

Please note
, Dudek has adjusted billing rates
since the original proposal in 2021
; t

5.1 Draft Final EIR
(Augment)

This augment requests additional funds due to the exceedance in the assumed number of comments received. The September 2021 proposal assumed no more than 100 individual public comments on the Draft EIR (noting that a single comment letter could contain mul
tiple comments). At the close of the public review period, Dudek received a total of 60 letters, broken down as follows: 10 agency comment letters, 4 organization comment letters, 46 individual comment letters. Several of these comment letters are in exces s of 30 pages containing more than 90
comments. A total of 503 comments were bracketed, organized, and

Dudek has
also
identified responses with
support from the applicant’s subconsultants. Upon receipt of applicant responses, Dudek will revise the Responses to Comments with individual responses. In the event that multiple comments on the same topic(s) are identified, Dudek
will
use Topical Responses as a way to save time and budget, and where appropriate, direct individual commenters to the appropriate Topical Response(s). Given the number

of
comments

received,
Dudek ha

CITY OF SANTA CLARITA

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 27, 2024
SUBJECT: TOURISM MARKETING DISTRICT ADVERTISING CONTRACT DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
PRESENTER: Evan Thomason

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager or designee to award a one-year contract to Lundmark Advertising + Design to provide marketing and advertising services for the Tourism Marketing District for an annual amount not to exceed $357,000.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute up to four additional, one-year renewal options beginning in year two, not to exceed the annual contract amount plus an adjustment consistent with the appropriate Consumer Price Index, upon request of the contractor, and contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such Fiscal Year.

3. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, or modify the award in the event that issues of impossibility of performance arise, and execute all documents subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita (City) Tourism Marketing District (TMD) funds various services and activities to promote the City as a tourist destination. These include developing marketing strategies to increase visitor attraction, advertising and public relations programs focused on business and leisure travel to Santa Clarita, attending conferences and conventions to promote the City to event planners, and securing other activities and events that bring business and tourism to Santa Clarita. Tourism Marketing District funds are generated from a two percent assessment of hotel room stays in the nine local hotels that are part of the TMD.

7 Packet Pg. 281

The City is seeking a full-service advertising agency to assist with the overall brand strategy and various marketing needs of the TMD on an annual basis. In addition to marketing to leisure travelers, focus is placed on attracting meeting planners and sporting event rights holders to produce events in Santa Clarita that have a positive economic impact on local businesses. The anticipated advertising campaign would run from fall 2024 to spring 2025.

Aside from the advertising component in the scope of work, other services provided by the agency include search engine optimization (SEO), graphic arts, and focused promotion and publicity outside the annual advertising campaign.

The City’s Purchasing division, in collaboration with the Economic Development division, issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a full-service advertising agency to assist with the City’s overall brand strategy and various marketing needs. The RFP was publicly advertised from May 7 to June 4, 2024, on BidNet, the City’s e-procurement platform. The RFP was downloaded by 85 vendors, and four proposals were received.

An evaluation panel comprised of staff from the Economic Development division reviewed and scored each of the proposals using the following criteria:

• Experience in developing and managing comprehensive multimedia advertising strategies for Destination Marketing Organizations - tourism programs • Demonstrated capability of developing professional creative content that differentiates a Destination Marketing Organization from its competitors • Experience in conducting research for Destination Marketing Organizations • Cost of services provided
• References

The following shows the results of the rankings by the evaluation panel:

Reporting of the results of the digital advertising campaign are to be collected on a regular basis and outcomes are to be measured against travel industry standards, including, but not limited to, overall impressions, click-through-rate (CTR), number of clicks, and engagement and lead generation. Results would also be measured against previous advertising campaigns and hotel measurables such as occupancy percentage and average daily rates (ADR).

Staff recommends the City Council award the contract to Lundmark Advertising + Design (Lundmark), which achieved the highest overall score. Lundmark was awarded the contract for the previous City tourism advertising campaign with positive results and work performed that met the City’s standards and performance expectations.

Rank Company Score (100 possible)
1 Lundmark Advertising + Design 97.67
2 Hylink Group 87.67
3 Ntooitive Digital 57.67
4 True Digital Marketing, Inc. 7.33
7 Packet Pg. 282

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

INTRODUCTION
7 CLIENT SERVICE PHILOSOPHY

PARTNERSHIP
We view our clients as partners – caring deeply about not just the success of individual projects but the success of the organization as a whole. It’s why we’ve had effective relationships with many clients for more than a decade. These include publicly traded companies, start-ups, educational institutions, not-for- profit organizations, and governmental agencies.

COMMUNICA TION
The start of our client-focused approach begins with communication. By having the leadership team of Lundmark as your direct point of contact, you can ensure that an experienced individual is managing your account. We pride ourselves on being extremely responsive to inbound requests, and our clients laud our proactive approach to project management.

FLEXIBILITY
Our clients love our flexibility. They can attest that we always meet our deadlines while providing quality work. As an independently owned firm, we are void of the traditional agency bureaucracy and can be more nimble on our feet. By having a full creative team that is up-to-speed on your brand, we are not dependent on just one team member to execute projects. Our new client onboarding process involves getting our entire team up-to-speed on client goals, objectives, growth strategy, and key initiatives on the horizon. By having a diverse team at your fingertips, we can pull in the staff required for any type of project and hit the ground running.

ACCOUNT ABILITY
We hold our team to the highest standard of accountability. We have weekly internal meetings to ensure projects are on track with the timeline specified for each project. It’s not enough that we deliver results.

We believe we must do so in a way that is on time, transparent, and fair to the budget. Team members are personally accountable for their involvement in each project, and our staff thrives on delivering results.

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

RESEARCH
8 Lundmark conducts research that influences strategic marketing decisions. Our expertise includes analyzing existing analytics/data to determine key learnings, managing focus groups and online surveys, and hosting public meetings to gather valuable input from community stakeholders.

When planning recent Visit Santa Clarita campaigns, our research included analysis of the following types of data:
• Hotel feeder market data – zip codes of frequent travelers. • Tourism reports – CBRE Trends reports on local occupancy, ADR and REVPAR. • Google Analytics – geography, interests and behavior details of VisitSantaClarita.com users. • Facebook - audience insights related to social media followers. • Sweepstakes entries – interest data collected from previous online sweepstakes. • Experian Mosaic USA – a subscription data service that divides the US population into 19 Groups and 71 more detailed types. It paints a unique picture of US consumers based on their demographic characteristics, lifestyles and behavior.
• Pixel data – pixels provided by media partners and placed on VisitSantaClarita.com have created consumer personas based on the visitors of the website.

This data/analysis would serve as a baseline for all media plans moving forward. As pixel technology improves, and data sharing regulations change, we would continuously look to gain access to insights that would help improve our targeting strategy. Finally, as this year’s campaign looks to target meeting and event planners as well as leisure travelers, conversations with conference sales managers at various hotel properties may be necessary to fully understand the offerings, current clientele, and appropriate target audience.

Lundmark has extensive experience managing tourism advertising campaigns from concept to execution.

We have outlined our approach and experience in the areas of research, strategy, campaign management, and measurement and evaluation below.

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT
9 STRA TEGY
Once our research and analysis is completed and campaign objectives are clearly understood, we would proceed to developing the strategy for the media plan. Importantly, we have eight years of past learnings that showed us what worked well, as well as areas that can be improved upon.

Lundmark would engage media partners that have experience in travel and tourism advertising across a variety of mediums. In addition to radio, television, outdoor and print advertising partners, we’ve worked with national media vendors that can target any audience we define:
• Digilant - using both deterministic and probabilistic matching, Digilant creates a Cross-Device ID to target users on multiple screens with near-perfect precision.
• Illumin - lllumin brings media planning and buying together in an interactive and intuitive interface. We have data from multiple Visit Santa Clarita campaigns to leverage in the future. • Audacy - through their suite of comprehensive digital offerings, Audacy targets users at home, at work, and on-the go.
• YouTube - YouTube is growing at a double-digit pace as linear TV continues to decline. Our past YouTube campaigns for Visit Santa Clarita have led to increased brand awareness and website traffic. • AdTheorent - AdTheorent uses machine learning and data science to deliver real-world value for advertisers. Their rich media units have historically driven tremendous engagement for Visit Santa Clarita.

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT
Lundmark would manage all facets of paid advertising from start to finish, which includes providing reporting to the Tourism division for each media channel.

Historically we have provided bi-weekly campaign updates, as well as presentation decks for TMD meetings as needed.

Each goal or objective outlined in the media plan will have associated metrics to ensure measurable success is identifiable. Upon analysis of initial conversions, we would recommend and implement changes with all media partners. Additionally, any campaign will be extensively evaluated during and upon conclusion. Key findings will be shared and discussed and recommendations will be made for future campaigns. Lundmark will provide a comprehensive campaign recap that can be used in presentations to city staff and tourism partners.

10 MEDIA PLANNING AND BUYING
Lundmark has extensive experience planning and purchasing both traditional and non-traditional forms of media for our clients. We partner with a wide range of media companies spanning digital, outdoor, print, and broadcast to meet objectives and maximize results. These partnerships provide us access to premium inventory and preferred rates, as well as planning tools such as Kantar, Nielsen, MRI, Scarborough, and Experian Mosaic. We utilize these tools, and any first-party data provided, to identify personas, create custom audience segments and inform creative messaging. We’re data-driven – everything we do is rooted in what the data is telling us – from consumer insight data to campaign performance data. Here are our key travel data partners we might leverage for your campaign.

Digital media is easy to track and adjust based on performance. The benefits of being able to target your consumer via behavioral and contextual targeting, site and search re-targeting, and geo-targeting are extremely valuable, and offer strong ROI.

7.a
Packet Pg. 295
Attachment: Lundmark Proposal (TMD Advertising Contract Award) MEDIA
13 Digital media can target consumers in more efficient ways than ever before. A few of the popular tactics we consider with campaigns for our clients include:
• Location Targeting – targets an audience by geo-fencing an area and using the user’s IP address or device ID. While this tactic can also review past geographic history, we don’t recommend going back more than 3-6 months.
• Recency Re-targeting – we’ve all visited a website and then had an advertisement appear for the brand we recently viewed. Recency re-targeting can take this one step further, by ensuring that your audience isn’t inundated with ads following a web visit. Using a variety of algorithms, we are able to optimize the frequency and best time of day to serve up the ad.
• Behavioral Targeting – this tactic utilizes 3rd party data to identify and target an audience that will be receptive to your campaign. Data analyzed includes online activity, social media behavior, and credit card purchases.
• Contextual Targeting – rather than delivering impressions sitewide, software can review the content of the web page and determine if the messaging aligns with your target audience. • Search Re-targeting – serves display or video ads to audiences searching for relevant keywords on popular search engines. This tactic should not to be confused with traditional search engine marketing (SEM).
• Custom Whitelists – we can recommend a custom whitelist for websites that most closely align with your target audience. While this tactic comes at a premium, we usually suggest including it at the beginning of a campaign to compare performance. On the flipside, we can blacklist sites that do not align with your brand.
• App Ownership – as apps continue to be ingrained into our everyday lives, we can review apps a phone has downloaded and incorporate them as a tactic in your campaign. This can be extremely helpful when attempting to create lookalike audiences.
• Cross Device – the global digital consumer now owns more than 3 connected devices. This makes it all the more difficult to engage with your audience with the right message on the right device. Implementing cross device tactics sets up your advertising for success.

Specific resources that were included in our analysis included:

• Search terms on the current site
• State and national tourism reports
• Demographic/psychographic clusters that matched current analytics of website visitors and theme park travelers

Data collected from our research efforts resulted in a new positioning strategy for Visit Santa Clarita. We noted that many Los Angeles attractions were within thirty miles of Santa Clarita. Given this proximity, travelers could utilize Santa Clarita as a springboard for their entire Los Angeles vacation. Coupled with the value accommodations and family-friendly attractions offered, Santa Clarita would be henceforth be known as the “Gateway to L.A.”
A new brand identity was developed which paid homage to Six Flags Magic Mountain, the highest recalling attraction in the area. A lockup utilizing the “Gateway to L.A.” tagline was included, as were other lockups specific to internal branding efforts. A style guide was developed to ensure the new brand identity was implemented appropriately across staff, tourism partners and external vendors.

The new brand was launched through an integrated, comprehensive digital marketing campaign that targeted visitors based on geographic location, demographic preferences and propensity to travel. Creative elements featured the variety of unique attractions that travelers can only find in Santa Clarita.

Lundmark began by researching Crown Center and their competitors in hopes of distinguishing the entertainment district for maximum competitive advantage. Intercept surveys were analyzed to determine patron’s reasons for visiting and perceptions of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Additional research was conducted to create a consumer persona for each profile and determine the most beneficial way to reach each group.

Lundmark incorporated Crown Center’s history, variety and quality into a strategic marketing plan that informed, persuaded and reminded the target audience of the uniqueness of Crown Center and its events.

The research efforts resulted in the brand campaign “Uniquely Kansas City, Always Crown Center.” A new positioning statement was developed to influence the creative messaging and ensure it resonated with key audiences.

Positive feedback on the new brand was received from the client, merchants, and attractions at Crown Center. Each form of media executed was tied back to measurable performance indicators. Quality website traffic increased and foot traffic was recorded as higher than the previous year for each event and exhibit.

The City of Santa Clarita provides vital arts programming including artist receptions and exhibitions, education/ community events, and art-specific events, but lacked a formal marketing strategy to promote these programs.

Lundmark conducted an Audience Analysis and Media Audit, which examined relevant data associated with those interested in the arts in Santa Clarita and the channels available to communicate with this audience.

First party data from City owned or operated properties including websites, social media accounts, and past surveys were analyzed for key findings. Additional conversations/ surveys were executed amongst members of the Arts Commission, staff from various City departments, and Santa Clarita based arts organizations. Finally, a stakeholder survey was sent to twenty (20) arts organizations based in the Santa Clarita Valley.

RESEARCH
Tracking pixels were placed on SantaClaritaArts.com with the goal of creating a more robust consumer profile. Similar to analyzing index data from a survey, this pixel data illustrates the consumer personas that are more likely to engage with the website being analyzed.

The summary of our findings led to a better understanding of the socioeconomic, demographic and behavioral makeup of our target audience. Generally speaking, the audience of the Santa Clarita arts community was local to the Santa Clarita Valley, affluent, and digitally savvy. The media consumption patterns and communication preferences identified in our research were incorporated into a comprehensive marketing plan.

Nearly 6,000 page sessions were generated across the 3-month campaign, more than double the 3-month period preceding campaign launch. Engagement on social media increased via comments, saves, and shares of various ads.

RESULTS
Lundmark executed a campaign that targeted residents with engaging ads across multiple digital platforms to increase the awareness of the website.

SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

THE CHALLENGE
Lundmark had been a valued partner of Visit Santa
Clarita, the City’s destination marketing organization, for a number of years. After demonstrating success
with their annual marketing campaigns, Lundmark was
enlisted to optimize their website, VisitSantaClarita.com.

THE SOLUTION
Our efforts began with a comprehensive SEO audit
utilizing tools including Ahrefs and Yoast. The initial audit analyzed search visibility, reviewed indexed pages and
identified known issues, reviewed backlinks and domain
authority, analyzed top organic landing pages, and made recommendations on content. The SEO audit established
a baseline foundation for the SEO strategy moving
forward.

On an ongoing monthly basis, Lundmark conducts site
crawls to review website metadata and check for broken
links, monitor top referring sites and channels, and
identify search competitors. The results of our monthly efforts are outlined in a progress report that also outlines recommendations for the following month’s SEO efforts.

THE RESULT
VisitSantaClarita.com has been steadily improving its
site health with each month’s search engine optimization efforts. These efforts enhance user experience by
reducing broken links and optimizing site speed for better overall performance.

THE CHALLENGE
Crown Center, a shopping and entertainment
district located in Kansas City, Missouri
looked to increase its brand visibility by
gaining stronger website traffic and online
exposure overall. Lundmark was tasked
with developing a PPC strategy that would
strengthen their account performance and
lead to an increased awareness of the
shopping center and merchants.

THE SOLUTION
We started our process by evaluating their
current paid search efforts across Google,
Yahoo, and Bing. We analyzed the keyword
performance and conversion types, while
also reviewing the campaign and ad group
performance to ultimately execute a PPC
strategy for improvement moving forward.

THE RESULT
Over the past 5 years, we have consistently
increased their monthly impressions, clicks,
and conversions, while providing a monthly
PPC report to highlight areas of growth and
future focus areas.

INFLUENCER MARKETING

THE CHALLENGE
Crown Center, a family-centric shopping and
entertainment district in Kansas City, engaged
Lundmark to manage omnichannel campaigns
aimed at promoting exhibits and programming
throughout the year. The agency was specifically
tasked with developing and executing influencer
campaigns to capture new audiences and enhance
brand awareness and loyalty.

THE SOLUTION
Lundmark assessed the digital influencer
landscape within the Kansas City region to identify
top creators who specialize in family-friendly
content. The strategy included partnering with
established creator groups and prominent local
influencers. Lundmark oversaw the coordination,
content management, scheduling, and reporting,
ensuring each campaign delivered the intended
messaging effectively.

THE RESULT
Every campaign has been bolstered by the
authentic, user-generated content from the
influencers. Specifically, during the Christmas
campaign, the content reached over 100,000
individuals, with more than 40% being non-
followers of Crown Center’s social accounts. The
campaigns resulted in over 1,000 new followers
and garnered more than 150,000 content views.

Due to the outstanding performance, Crown
Center has chosen to invest more in influencer
marketing than other traditional marketing tactics
they had previously favored.

3. The value that travel and tourism provides
in the development/redevelopment of a

4. Supporting this development can ultimately
lead to the further development of attractions
and amenities.

5.The necessity to keep local residents,
businesses and elected officials informed
of the great work accomplished by your
organization.

the same moving forward into the future.

ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENTS FOR ROAD AND TRAIL

PURPOSES
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Shannon Pickett

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of a portion of the public right-of-way along Sand Canyon Road, as described and shown on Exhibit “A” Legal Description and Exhibit “B” Exhibit Map, and an easement for slope purposes, west of Sand Canyon Road, as described and shown on Exhibit “C” Legal Description and Exhibit “D” Exhibit Map of the attached resolution.

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

3. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to accept the dedications and grants of easement for public use and trail purposes and grants of easement for public use and road purposes along Sand Canyon Road.

4. Authorize an expenditure in an amount not to exceed $80,000 to reimburse the property owner for clearing private improvements from the future trail easement at 16207 Valley Ranch Road as part of the Sand Canyon Trail project.

5. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND

Road and Slope Easement Vacation

The road easement to be vacated, shown in blue on the attached Location Map for property on 27101 Sand Canyon Road, is a portion of Lot 3 of Parcel Map No. 8244, originally dedicated to the County of Los Angeles on December 6, 1984. The slope easement to be vacated, shown in yellow on the attached Location Map, is a portion of Lot 2 and Lot 3 of Parcel Map No. 8244, originally dedicated to the County of Los Angeles and recorded on December 6, 1984.

Both easements traverse through a private residential lot located on the west side of Sand Canyon Road. The portion of the street easement and the slope easement, as described and shown on Exhibits “A” through “D” of the attached resolution, are in excess of the specified 84 feet of right-of-way required for Sand Canyon Road in the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan, and are not needed for future public road purposes.

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 exists:

1. For a period of five consecutive years, the street or highway has been impassable for vehicular travel; and

2. No public money was expended for maintenance on the street or highway during such period.

Both of the aforementioned conditions exist; therefore, staff is recommending a portion of public right-of-way and slope easement as described and shown on Exhibits “A” through “D” of the attached resolution be summarily vacated by adopting the resolution.

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

Road and Trail Dedication

The property owner at 27101 Sand Canyon Road has offered to dedicate an easement for public use and trail purposes within the property and an easement for public use and road purposes along the property frontage on Sand Canyon Road as shown in green and red, respectively, on the attached Location Map for property on 27101 Sand Canyon Road. The trail easement will allow for a trail connection from the recently installed pedestrian bridge on Sand Canyon Road just north of Condor Ridge Road to Sultus Street, and the road easement will increase the right- of-way of Sand Canyon Road to 84 feet, which is consistent with the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan.

The property owner at 16207 Valley Ranch Road is willing to dedicate an easement for public 8 Packet Pg. 324

use and trail purposes and an easement for public use and road purposes along the property frontage on Sand Canyon Road as shown in green and red, respectively, on the attached Location Map for property on 16207 Valley Ranch Road. The trail easement will allow for a trail segment to be constructed along Sand Canyon Road, and the road easement will ensure that the constructed portion of Sand Canyon Road is within the easement. Furthermore, the road easement will ensure that the westerly edge of the easement lines up with the westerly edge of the public right-of-way on Sand Canyon Road, south of Valley Ranch Road.

Trail construction within the trail easement will require private improvements such as fencing, irrigation, and landscape to be relocated. The $80,000 expenditure recommended in this agenda report will reimburse the property owner for removing those improvements and relocating them outside the easement areas. Once removed, this segment of trail will be constructed.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

Adequate funds are available in project expenditure accounts T3024233-516101 (TDA 8 Fund) and T3024238-516101 (TDA 3 Fund) to support the recommended action.

AGENDA REPORT

CONSENT CALENDAR
CITY MANAGER APPROVAL:

DATE: August 27, 2024
SUBJECT: PURCHASE TRUCK-MOUNTED LONG LINE PAINT STRIPER DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Cruz Caldera

RECOMMENDED ACTION

City Council:

1. Approve the “piggyback” purchase of a truck-mounted long line paint striper, EZ Liner TS- AL150, using Sourcewell contract #080521-EZL, for a total contract amount not to exceed $288,755.

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, subject to City Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND

The City of Santa Clarita’s (City) Public Works Department maintains over 1,300 linear miles of road striping each year. The City’s long line paint striper assists staff in re-striping edge lines, double yellow and skip lines, as well as bike lane and turn pocket lines throughout the City. The City’s existing striper has exceeded its useful life. Maintenance needs and increasingly obsolete replacement parts take the striper out of service for long periods of time. During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-25 budget process, the City Council authorized the procurement of a replacement truck-mounted long line paint striper.

Staff has determined that an EZ Liner Model TS-AL150 with a 2024 Isuzu NPR HD chassis will serve as an equivalent replacement. The new striper will allow staff to stripe approximately 15 lane miles per day, is more accurate, and has additional safety features than the current model, improving staff productivity.

The use of “piggyback” purchasing allows the City to place orders against a competitively awarded public agency contract. The City is using the cooperative purchasing contract, #080521- EZL with Sourcewell, which allows the City to take advantage of an existing competitive 9 Packet Pg. 336

process. This contract, which was awarded on October 11, 2021, was competitively solicited through a nationwide bid process and is valid through October 2025.

While the vast majority of the City’s fleet is procured locally, the striper is a specialized piece of equipment requiring special features and customization. After performing a cost analysis, the General Services Manager determined that the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract with EZ Liner provides competitive pricing, provides quality service, and offers the best value to the City. Additionally, there are no local vendors that provide truck-mounted long line paint stripers on a cooperative purchasing contract. Using the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract results in a total sale price of $288,755, inclusive of tax and delivery.

This purchase supports the Sustaining Public Infrastructure theme of Santa Clarita 2025.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION

Other action as determined by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT

The resources required to implement the recommended action are contained within the City’s adopted FY 2024-25 budget; $288,755 is available in the Gas Tax fund (Fund 230), Street Maintenance-Equipment Replacement expenditure account (2304504-520102).
