CITY COUNCIL

4. STUDY SESSION
General Plan Update Presentation (Planning)
Recommendation:

Receive the presentation from the City’s General Plan consultant, MIG, and provide feedback as desired
Director of Planning, Wayne Morrell called upon Jose Rodriguez from MIG to provide a presentation on the General Plan.

Mr. Rodriguez provided a brief timeline of the general plan process that incorporated information from varied community groups, surveys, workshops, and public hearing comments. He provided additional information on the regional housing needs assessment portion, incorporating income groups’ data. He also identified potential new housing development areas to meet the 952 new housing units required by the State.

He also spoke about the draft land use plan that identifies sphere of influence areas and highlighted opportunity sites for conceptual opportunity development sites.

Councilmember Sarno asked if the cost of land on the proposed housing sites were taken into account should they be rezoned, citing developer hesitancy to purchase if they are rezoned and cannot be used for their initial intended use. Mr. Rodriguez stated that financial feasibility was taken into account for housing units. Director Morrell stated that developers were notified of current zoning and speculated that previous escrows might have fallen through because of the need for a street vacation on the specific site that Councilmember Sarno was referring to.

Mr. Rodriguez continued to speak on new light manufacturing and limited manufacturing designations and also highlighted areas that would change from heavy manufacturing Minutes of the January 5, 2022 Special City Council Meeting

Page 2 ends

to other zones. He provided information on the environmental justice element and some of the pollution burdens of certain areas within the City, which are part of the top 10% of most polluted areas in the State. Specific pollution burdens cited were to establish green buffer zones, expand light industrial zone, enforcement and monitoring, cleanup prioritization, and community education. He also spoke about the freeway commercial land use designation which the current zoning map identifies as a Freeway Commercial.

Mr. Rodriguez also highlighted certain changes to faith-based organizations and talked about the next steps in the coming weeks to have the general plan changes introduced at upcoming Planning Commission and City Council Meetings. Lastly, he talked about meeting adoption deadlines for the housing element to avoid penalties.

Councilmember Mora asked if the City is bound by State law to incorporate housing requirements under the housing element. Mr. Rodriguez stated that it is primarily a State pushed requirement. Councilmember Trujillo asked about new housing exemptions if they are in close proximity to a historical landmark. Director Morrell stated that besides the Clarke Estate there are no other areas within the City that would be considered historical landmarks. Councilmembers Trujillo and Sarno also inquired about the possibility of adopting the housing element first and the industrial land use element at a later date. Mr. Rodriguez stated that there options for bifurcating but a land use element and a housing element need to be passed together and advised against waiting past October 15 for the zoning element changes. Director Morrell stated that the general plan process has been ongoing for almost two years, and the fact that some people were not participating in the drafting process or claimed to be excluded are false as the willingness to participate fall on each individual.

Councilmember Sarno asked about the average time to complete a general plan update.

Mr. Rodriguez stated that completion time averages between a year and a half and two years. Councilmember Sarno believes that with the ongoing pandemic, enough time was not allocated for everyone to voice their concerns and opinions. Mayor Rodriguez asked if once the general plan has been adopted, no changes can be made. Mr.

Rodriguez stated that certain elements must be completed by certain dates and supersedes zoning uses in the future. Director Morrell stated once the general plan is adopted, certain changed zones becoming nonconforming and changes can be made in the future – decisions must be made now so that changes can be made in the future and not be tied to current standards.

Council asked how many study sessions have been held on the general plan update.

Assistant Director of Planning Cuong Nguyen stated that there has been three meetings with the Planning Commission since November 2020. Council and City Manager Cruz agreed that more study sessions would be beneficial so that interested community members can have their voices heard. Director Morrell and consultant Jack Wong stated that if the housing elements are not adopted by February 11, 2022, it would jeopardize the Caltrans grant which is used to prepare said elements. Mr. Wong opposed bifurcating the process as all parts of the general plan fit and complement each other.

Director Morrell identified to the two main issues that would necessitate further discussion as the freeway overlay zone and the down zoning of properties next to Minutes of the January 5, 2022 Special City Council Meeting

3. STUDY SESSION
General Plan Update Presentation (Planning)
Recommendation:

Receive the presentation from the City’s General Plan consultant, MIG, and provide feedback as desired.

City Manager Raymond R. Cruz provided a brief presentation on Item No. 3.

4. PUBLIC COMMENTS: The following people spoke during Public Comments: Mike Foley, Lang Cottrell, Moshe Sassover, Irma Huitron, Raffi Minasian, John Moore, Kathy Fink, Rick McGeagh from CBRE, Stephane Wandel, John P. Ramirez, Steve Masura, and Scott Sommerfield from Cascade Pump via Zoom.

Councilmember Trujillo expressed that the City maintains a healthy relationship with its businesses, and asked that they become more involved with the General Plan update.

Councilmember Mora advocated for more input from the business community with consideration to the grant deadlines. He believes that a solution can be reached that will benefit both businesses and residents. Councilmember Sarno believes that the housing element can be passed, and that consideration must be made for the businesses as they contribute heavily to the City.

City Attorney, Ivy M. Tsai recommended that City staff and MIG have an opportunity to address the concerns from the business community. Director of Planning, Wayne Morrell stated that a bifurcation process can be implemented, but that there is no compromise available when it comes to grant deadlines. He added that adoption of land use changes will not be immediately implemented to existing businesses, and that businesses may apply for extensions in the future if needed. Jose Rodriguez from MIG explained that changes have been made to allow for additional housing within the City, but recommends still bringing forward the land use plan and the other components of the General Plan to maintain the grants. He added that whatever changes are brought forward at a later date Minutes of the January 11, 2022 Special City Council Meeting

must comply within the guidelines of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the land use plan. Director Morrell added that additional costs will be involved for any additional changes in the future.

Director Morrell addressed impact fees and the charging of businesses to set aside certain acreage for parks, but emphasized the City must first have an ordinance in place to do so. Councilmember Sarno asked how much money could potentially be lost from revenue and taxes from the downsizing of industrial zones. Director Morrell stated that there would be no anticipated loss within the next twenty years, and City Attorney Tsai clarified that no vested businesses with property rights would be affected by the General Plan. Councilmember Sarno asked how the changes were identified and recommended that pertain to downsizing certain industrial zones. Consultant Rodriguez responded that background analysis were made in conjunction with City staff that were brought forward to the Planning Commission and City Council for affirmation of a draft land use plan.

Additional decisions regarding industrial land use changes and downsizing were considered with City staff and certain businesses and were brought forward in December 2020. Assistant Director of Planning, Cuong Nguyen provided additional information regarding the compromises that were made with the General Plan.

Mayor Pro Tem Zamora addressed that solutions must be made that will not jeopardize the grants available along with the obligated deadlines. Mayor Rodriguez requested that another study session be made for 5:00 p.m. on January 18, 2022. Council asked for the pros and cons that staffed identified for rezoning the industrial zones, and also asked for the responses from staff for questions and issues that were brought forward during this study session.

Report Submitted By: Ivy M. Tsai, City Attorney Date of Report: January 27, 2022 City of Santa Fe Springs

CONSENT AGENDA
A Resolution of the City Council Reaffirming the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to the Threat of COVID-19 (pursuant to Government Code section 8630)

BACKGROUND
On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency due to the threat of COVID-19. On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States issued a proclamation of national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. On March 17, 2020, the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, issued a proclamation declaring the existence of a local emergency beginning March 12, 2020, due to the threat of COVID-19. On March 18, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9668 ratifying the proclamation, and on April 9, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9669 relating to taking action in response to the local emergency and Resolution No. 9752 was adopted on January 18, 2022. The City Council has continued to reaffirm the existence of a local emergency due to the threat of COVID-19.

Government Code section 8630(c) provides that the City Council shall review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency. The state of emergency still exists and has not been lifted at the statewide or county level. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a revised health order on December 16, 2021, which states that the County has returned to a high rate of transmission based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicators. The health order also states that the Delta variant, which remains predominant in Los Angeles County, is two times as contagious as earlier variants and continues to lead to increased infections, and that the arrival of the Omicron variant may further increase risk of infection.

The reasons for declaring a local emergency still exist, and therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution affirming the existence of a local emergency in accordance with Government Code section 8630(c).

On March 4, 2020, the Governor issued a proclamation declaring a state of emergency due to the threat of COVID-19. The California Department of Public Health and the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health have issued public health orders during this state of emergency for the purpose of reducing transmission of COVID-19. Such orders have included social distancing requirements. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person due to a number of factors, including the high number of daily cases and community transmission and increased transmission of COVID-19 by the Delta variant. The Department of Public Health has stated that the Delta variant is two times as contagious as earlier variants, remains predominant in Los Angeles County, and continues to lead to increased infections.

Accordingly, staff has prepared the attached resolution to continue to authorize remote teleconference meetings and will include on all future meeting agendas such a resolution until such time as the state of emergency ceases, or as otherwise directed by the City Council.

CONSENT AGENDA
Exchange Agreement and Assignment of Federal Surface Transportation ProgramLocal and Highway Infrastructure Programs Funds

BACKGROUND
City staff was informed of available funding for roadway improvements from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA). The City desires to exchange STP-L and HIP funds, for a like total amount of Local Transportation Funds through an Exchange Agreement. Staff recommends exchanging $61,601 of STP-L Funds and $85,736 of HIP Funds that LACMTA approved on April 22, 2021 for a total amount of $147,337 to LACMTA Local Transportation Funds. LACTMA has a 2% processing and administrative fee, which is deducted, bringing the total to $144,390.

The Board of Directors of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) approved the programming of about $47.5 million in Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) HIP funds on April 22, 2021. These funds are available through the Caltrans Local Assistance Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBGP) and allocated to all 88 cities in Los Angeles County, as well as to the County of Los Angeles, by the total county population. This Metro Board action also included approval of the opportunity for agencies to exchange their CRRSAA HIP STBGP funding allocations with local funds provided through Metro’s existing federal Surface Transportation Program Local (STPL) Exchange Program.

City staff determined that the Pioneer Boulevard Street Improvements Project (Charlesworth Road to Los Nietos Road) meets the STP-L funds and HIP funds requirements and recommends that the LACMTA Local Transportation Funds be allocated to the Pioneer Boulevard Street Improvement Project to complete project funding.

LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The updated total estimated cost for the Pioneer Boulevard Street Improvement Project is approximately $1M. To reduce the amount required from General Funds/CIP funds, City staff is recommending allocating the LACMTA Local Transportation Funds in the amount of $144,390 to this project. The City will have three years to expend the funds.

RECOMMENDATION
• Authorize the Director of Public Works to execute Final Form, approved by City Attorney’s Office, of Exchange Agreement and Assignment of the Federal Surface Transportation Program Local (STP-L) Funds and Highway Infrastructure Programs (HIP) Funds to partially fund the Pioneer Boulevard Street Improvement Project.

AGREEMENT:

1. CITY hereby assigns to LACMTA $61,601 of CITY's STP-L Funds and $85,736 of CITY's HIP Funds.

Upon receipt of (i) a fully executed AGREEMENT, (ii) CITY's written certification of the amounts of CITY's STP-L Funds Balance and CITY's HIP Funds Balance, as defined herein, which CITY's STP-L Funds Balance and CITY’s HIP Funds Balance show that CITY has sufficient STP-L Funds and HIP Funds to meet its obligations hereunder, and (iii) LACMTA's deduction of CITY's STP-L Funds and CITY's HIP Funds as provided in paragraph 1 above, LACMTA shall pay CITY $144,390 of LACMTA Funds which includes the deduction for the processing fee described in paragraph 5 below. For purposes of this AGREEMENT, CITY's "STP-L Funds Balance" and CITY's "HIP Funds Balance" shall mean the amounts of funds contained in CITY's STP-L Funds and CITY's HIP Funds accounts as of the date that this AGREEMENT is fully executed, which include CITY's apportionment share of FY21 STP-L Funds and share of HIP Funds from the federal Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) that was enacted on December 27, 2020. If the STP-L Funds Balance and HIP Funds Balance become insufficient to satisfy CITY's exchange obligations hereunder, CITY hereby authorizes LACMTA to deduct from CITY's future balance of STP-L funds until LACMTA has in the aggregate received the amount of CITY's STP-L Funds and CITY's HIP Funds specified in paragraph 1 above.

4. CITY must complete and submit an Automated Clearing House (ACH) form (Exhibit A) through LACMTA's website to allow LACMTA to make disbursements electronically.

Agreement Number 9200000000HIPXXXX
3 B. The term "expend" as used in Section 6 shall mean "encumbered by an awarded contract or paid for an eligible transportation activity".

C. If the LACMTA Funds have lapsed and CITY has not returned all or a portion of the lapsed LACMTA Funds to LACMTA, then CITY shall be considered to be in default and agrees that such outstanding payments shall be paid from CITY funds in the following priority: first, from any of CITY's unobligated HIP Funds Balance, then from CITY's STP-L Funds Balance, then from CITY's Proposition A local return funds, then from CITY's Proposition C local return funds, then from CITY's Measure R local return funds, and then from CITY's Measure M local return funds. If CITY is in default hereunder, in addition to all rights and remedies available to LACMTA at law or in equity and without further notice or ability to cure by CITY, CITY hereby authorizes LACMTA to withhold the applicable HIP, STP-L or local return funds in the amount needed to satisfy the outstanding amount of lapsed LACMTA Funds due and owing to LACMTA prior to LACMTA transferring the balance of such funds to the CITY in accordance with the applicable state laws or ordinances.

7. CITY must use the LACMTA Funds in the most cost-effective manner. If CITY intends to use a consultant or contractor to implement all or part of the STP-L and HIP Eligible Project, LACMTA requires that such activities be procured in accordance with CITY's contracting procedures and be consistent with State law as appropriate. CITY will also use the LACMTA Funds in the most cost-effective manner when the LACMTA Funds are used to pay "in-house" staff time. CITY staff or consultants with project oversight roles may not award work to companies in which they have a financial or personal interest. This effective use of funds provision will be verified by LACMTA through on-going project monitoring and through any LACMTA interim and final audits.

Findings of the LACMTA audit are final.

When LACMTA audit findings require CITY to return monies to LACMTA, CITY agrees to return the monies within thirty (30) days after the final audit is sent to CITY.

Agreement Number 9200000000HIPXXXX
4 9. The terms of this AGREEMENT shall commence on the date that this AGREEMENT is fully executed and shall terminate once CITY has expended all the LACMTA Funds and all LACMTA audit and reporting requirements have been satisfied.

CITY shall fully indemnify, defend and hold LACMTA and its officers, agents, and employees harmless from and against any liability and expenses, including, without limitation, defend costs, any costs or liability on account of bodily injury, death or personal injury of any person, or for damages of any nature whatsoever arising out of (i) a breach of CITY's obligations under this AGREEMENT; or (ii) any act or omission of CITY or its officers, agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in the use of the LACMTA Funds.

TRAFFIC ENGINEER’S REPORT
Request for Parking Restriction on Painter Avenue at 10910 Painter Avenue

BACKGROUND
The City received a request from Zenith Screw Products, Inc. located at 10910 Painter Avenue for an overnight parking restriction.

Painter Avenue is an industrial collector street that runs in a straight, level, north/south orientation from Carmenita Road to Lakeland Road where it terminates. Between Florence Avenue and Lakeland Road, Painter Avenue has a curb-to-curb street width of 52 feet. Painter Avenue has a double yellow centerline that provides one lane in each direction, with parking generally permitted on both sides of the street. The Average Daily Traffic for Painter Avenue in 2021 was 5,000 vehicles on a typical weekday. The current speed limit is a posted 35 miles per hour and a critical speed of 38 miles per hour. The abutting development along Painter Avenue south of Florence Avenue is some light industrial/manufacturingwith some heavy industrial development in the older areas, which means there are no weight restrictions. Traffic at Florence/Painter intersection is controlled by a 2- phase fully-actuated traffic signal, while southbound Painter Avenue traffic at the Lakeland/Painter intersection is controlled by a Stop sign.

The problems encountered by Zenith Screw Products include long-term parking of trucks in front of their business which impacts the ability of motorists and customers exiting the driveway from their parking lot from seeing conflicting traffic.

In addition, some truck drivers clean out their trailers and leave trash and other debris on the street and/or parkway in front of their business. For these reasons, they have requested that the City post a “No Stopping 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM” parking restriction along their Painter Avenue frontage at 10910 Painter Avenue. City staff recommends that the Traffic Commission review this request and make a recommendation to the City Council that the parking restriction is approved as requested by Zenith Screw Products, Inc.

On December 9, 2021, Staff solicited a Request for Quotes (RFQ) from the approved list of Engineering firms (Consultants) to provide On-Call Professional Engineering Services for the Street Improvement Design for Residential Streets South of Florence Avenue (Triangle).The selected consultant will be responsible for preparing the project’s plans, specifications, and engineering estimates. The project will consist of the grind and cap of asphalt concrete pavement for specific streets and a slurry seal for the remaining streets. The new paving section will support vehicular car loads, and increase pavement service life. Additionally, the project also includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter, sidewalks, curb ramps, driveways, culverts and the installation of storm water screen covers, as needed.

The City received five (5) RFQ’s from the following engineering consulting firms with their respective quotes. As a reminder, although the cost is a factor in the selection process, professional service contracts are awarded to the consultant(s) deemed most qualified.

PRESENTATION
Virtual presentation by Leonard Barrales, District Manager for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), to award the City of Santa Fe Springs with a Silver Certificate for the 2021 Most Business Friendly City Award

BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) created the Most Business-Friendly City in Los Angeles County award category in 2006 to recognize cities within the County that facilitate ease-of-doing-business and proactively promote business-friendly programs and services in the interest of attracting and retaining good quality jobs for their residents. Every year, a blue-ribbon panel evaluates nominations submitted by cities in LA County. As in past years, winners are typically announced during the annual LAEDC Eddy Awards, which is known as the most prestigious awards program to recognize leadership development in business, education, and government throughout Los Angeles County.

It should be noted this year’s Most Business-Friendly City awards was different from previous years. This year’s MBFCA specifically recognized cities that prioritized creating the most supportive environment for business recovery, reinvention, growth and hiring during the pandemic: a pandemic that cost the jobs of more than 770,000 LA County residents in the Spring of 2020. This year, 10 finalists were awarded Gold, and non-finalist cities were awarded either Silver or Bronze. While the City of Santa Fe Springs was not selected as a finalist this year, we were awarded a Silver certificate by the judges.

The City was last named Most Business-Friendly City in 2009. We continue to be recognized for our business-friendly practices which is evident by our nominations as a finalist for three out of the last five years in the small city category. Last year, the MBFCA was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
• The Mayor may wish to call upon, Leonard Barrales, District Manager for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) to assist with this virtual presentation.
