CONSENT AGENDA
California Highway Patrol (CHP) – Request for Approval of Traffic Control Plans for National Night Out (NNO) 2023

BACKGROUND
The first Tuesday of August is recognized as National Night Out; an annual event designed to bring communities and law enforcement partners together in celebration of our many similarities and common goals for safety. The CHP Santa Fe Springs Area will be hosting its own National Night Out event at their office located on Orr and Day Road, on Saturday, August 5, 2023 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. The event will include live entertainment, safety booths from CHP, Whittier PD, and Santa Fe Springs Police Services, as well as multiple police demonstrations (to include K-9 handlers and motorcycle demonstrations) in addition to several food vendors and sponsors providing small giveaways to participants.

The event requires a full street closure that would take place on August 5, 2023 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on Orr and Day Road (northbound and southbound) from Hollyhock Street to Davenrich Street. Notifications will be sent to the surrounding community being impacted. The purpose of the full street closure is as follows to facilitate the safety of all attendees and personnel:
 A 52 Foot Stage/Trailer will be set in the CHP parking lot and all police safety booths/equipment on display, will utilize the entire CHP Santa Fe Springs Parking Lot.
 Vendor booths (providing food/giveaways/information), K-9 and motorcycle demonstrations require space that would be provided by using the street.  Anticipated attendance for this event will be 200-300 participants.

Orr and Day Road traffic will be detoured as follows:
• Southbound Orr and Day traffic will be detoured onto Hollyhock Street, Harvest Avenue, Longworth Street and Davenrich Street back to Orr and Day Road. • Northbound Orr and Day traffic will either be detoured onto Davenrich Street east to Jersey Avenue to Telegraph Road back to Orr and Day or onto

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve the traffic control plans prepared for the closure of several City streets in the immediate vicinity of the California Highway Patrol located on Orr and Day Road for the detouring of traffic for the 2023 National Night Out Event to be held on Saturday, August 5, 2023.

The City is required to obtain insurance coverage as recommended by the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA); however, the CJPIA requires City Council’s approval of the traffic control plans for the proposed city street closures for the 2023 CHP National Night Out event. The traffic control plans exhibit denotes the locations of lane and road closures, the placement of traffic control devices and stationing of City personnel for the event. The traffic control plans are available for review at the office of the City Clerk.

FISCAL IMPACT
The labor cost for public safety to provide assistance with street closures for this event will be absorbed through the Police Services budget. All Public Works costs associated with this event will be charged to the City Manager’s Office Community Promotion activity.

The insurance of the responsible party has issued a check for the market value of that vehicle in the amount of $18,372.37, offsetting this purchase by that amount.

The initial bid was for a Ford Escape Hybrid but were unsuccessful finding one available on a dealer lot. The manufacturer acknowledged that they would not take Ford Escape orders this coming year. With an immediate need for a vehicle the Chevrolet Trax was discussed as an alternative. Our Fire Chief inspected the Trax on a dealer lot and concluded that the vehicle would serve their need serving as an Environmental Inspection unit.

Bids were solicited from vendors on our vehicle distribution list, including SFS Chamber members. The Director of Purchasing Services recommends awarding this order to Gilmar Automotive Group based on the lowest received bid.

CONSENT AGENDA
Award an Order to Swarco-McCain Inc. for the Purchase of Traffic Signal Cabinets

BACKGROUND
The Public Works Maintenance Traffic Signal Division has standardized to the Swarco-McCain (McCain) traffic signal cabinet for installation in Santa Fe Springs and the Traffic Signal contract cities we serve. Inconsistencies in craftsmanship and technical support from other brands led to the standardization to this cabinet. Key components used in the cabinet such as the power supply and controller are also standardized to McCain products which has led to consistent service uptime. One of the principal benefits realized by using the McCain cabinet is product support; staff can effortlessly connect with a McCain technician to troubleshoot and solve an issue.

Traffic signal cabinets are inventoried and stored in the City Warehouse until they are installed into service. Long and inconsistent delivery lead times require the necessity to keep several of these on our shelves as to not impact potential service disruption to Santa Fe Springs or the traffic signal contract cities we serve.

FISCAL IMPACT
When traffic signal cabinets are checked out of inventory they are charged to appropriate Pubic Works budget accounts. If they are replacing a knockdown from a traffic accident, the appropriate insurance company or responsible parties are invoiced for reimbursement cost of the cabinet, plus the cost of labor, and any additional materials needed to complete the install. Cabinets installed in our traffic signal contract cities are reimbursed to the City of Santa Fe Springs plus the contract negotiated markup.

City of Santa Fe Springs
City Council Meeting July 18, 2023

PUBLIC HEARING
Resolution No. 9871 – Approving the issuance of the California Municipal Finance Authority (the “CMFA”) qualified 501(c)(3) bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $55,000,000 for the purpose of financing or refinancing the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of Citrus Court Apartments and certain other matters relating thereto

BACKGROUND
The CMFA was created on January 1, 2004, pursuant to a joint exercise of powers agreement to promote economic, cultural and community development, through the financing of economic development and charitable activities throughout California. To date, over 350 municipalities, including the City of Santa Fe Springs, have become members of CMFA.

The CMFA was formed to assist local governments, non-profit organizations, and businesses with the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds aimed at improving the standard of living in California. The CMFA’s representatives and its Board of Directors have considerable experience in bond financings.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
• Open the public hearing, receive the staff report and any comments from the public regarding the proposed issuance of qualified 501(c)(3) bonds by the California Municipal Finance Authority (the “CMFA”), a joint exercise of powers authority and public entity of the State of California, in an amount not to exceed $55,000,000, (the “Bonds”), to finance or refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of a 138-unit multi-family rental housing project, generally known as Citrus Court Apartments, located at 8121 Broadway Avenue, Whittier, California (the “Project”)
• Conduct the Public Hearing under the requirements of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA), and as required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
• Adopt Resolution No. 9871, approving the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA for the benefit of Citrus Whittier LLC, with Affordable Housing Alliance II, Inc., dba Integrity Housing as the sole member (the “Borrower”) which is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), to provide for the financing of the Project, such adoption is solely to satisfy the requirements of TEFRA, the Code and the California Government Code Section 6500 (and following).
• Authorize the Mayor and or designee to execute any and all documents deemed necessary or advisable to carry out, give effect to, and comply with the terms and intent of Resolution No. 9871 and the financing approved hereby.

ITEM NO. 13
Resolution No. 9871 TEFRA Hearing-Citrus Court Apartments 2 of 3 Report Submitted By: Wayne M. Morrell Date of Report: July 14, 2023 Department of Planning
Borrower requested that the CMFA serve as the municipal issuer of the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $55,000,000 of qualified 501(c)(3) bonds The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance or refinance the acquisition, rehabilitation, improvement and equipping of a 138-unit multi-family rental housing project located at 8121 Broadway Avenue, Whittier, California. Upon purchase of the property, the Borrower will convert 75% of the market rate units to affordable units.

Twenty percent (20%) of the units will be restricted to 50% Area Median Income and fifty-five percent (55%) of the units will be restricted to 80% Area Median Income.

For all or a portion of the Bonds to qualify as tax-exempt bonds, the City of Santa Fe Springs must conduct a public hearing (the “TEFRA Hearing”) providing for the members of the community an opportunity to speak in favor of or against the use of tax-exempt bonds for the financing of the Project. Before such TEFRA Hearing, reasonable notice must be provided to the members of the community. Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project must provide its approval of the issuance of the Bonds for the financing of the Project.

It is important to understand that the City is in no way associated with the debt issuance and is not obligated to make debt service payments on the bonds. In addition, holding a public hearing and adopting a resolution in no way makes the City a party to the debt issuance. Federal laws governing these types of hearings recognize that non-profit agencies typically do not have the facilities to conduct their own public hearing; therefore, the local jurisdictions are allowed to loan their facilities and process to hold public hearings for the benefit of the issuing agency.

TEFRA PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENTS
This matter was set for Public Hearing per the requirements of the TEFRA and Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which is similar to the City’s requirement, except for the following:

On December 28, 2028, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released final regulations (the “Final TEFRA Regulations”) regarding the requirements for public hearings, and approval of qualified private activity bonds under Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Final TEFRA Regulations, a notice of public hearing is presumed reasonable if published no fewer than seven days in advance of the hearing.

The public hearing notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation (Whittier Daily News) on July 7, 2023. The notice also specified that members of the public may attend the meeting telephonically and electronically and provided the means of doing so.

Resolution No. 9871 TEFRA Hearing-Citrus Court Apartments 3 of 3 Report Submitted By: Wayne M. Morrell Date of Report: July 14, 2023 Department of Planning

FISCAL IMPACT
The Bonds to be issued by the CMFA for the Project will be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, and the City will have no financial, legal, or moral obligation, liability, or responsibility for the Project or the repayment of the Bonds for the financing of the Project. All financing documents for the issuance of the Bonds will contain clear disclaimers that the Bonds are not obligations of the City or the State of California but are to be paid for solely from funds provided by the Borrower.

The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (the “Foundation”), acts as the Board of Directors for the CMFA. Through its conduit issuance activities, the CMFA shares a portion of the issuance fees it receives with its member communities and donates a portion of these issuance fees to the Foundation for the support of local charities. With respect to the City of Santa Fe Springs, it is expected that a portion of the issuance fee attributable to the City will be granted by the CMFA to the general fund of the City.

Such grant may be used for any lawful purpose of the City.

SUMMARY
In light of the foregoing, and to support affordable housing, staff recommends that the City conduct the TEFRA Hearing and adopt the resolution in favor of the issuance of the Bonds by the CMFA.

PUBLIC HEARING
Resolution No. 9874 – Approval of Programs/Projects Proposed for Funding During FY 2023/2024 Under the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Cooperation Agreement with the County of Los Angeles

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs participates in the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) entitlement program administered by the County of Los Angeles Community Development Commission (LACDC). Although the funds are an “entitlement,” every year, the City must make specific application to the County defining the projects to be funded. The application requires public participation subject to proper notification of at least 30 days. Accordingly, notices were posted from June 1, 2023 to July 3, 2023, at City Hall, the kiosk at Town Center Hall, the and City Library advising the public of this hearing.

For FY 2023-2024, the City has been granted a CDBG allocation in the amount of $142,570. These funds can be utilized for a proposed CDBG project that meets one of the following three national objectives:

1. Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;

2. Elimination of slums or blight;

3. Meet an urgent need.

Based on staff review, it is recommended that the City’s CDBG funding for FY 2023-24 be allocated pursuant to the funding breakdown outlined below. Approval of the allocation and proposed programs allows staff to comply with the Community Development Commission requirement to report a preliminary summary of the projected use of our annual CDBG allocation. These programs and budget allocations can be further modified or amended when City Council reviews the City’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget.

RECOMMENDATION
• Open the Public Hearing;
• Receive any comments from the public wishing to speak on this matter and thereafter close the Public Hearing;
• Approve the acceptance of CDBG funds as described in the body of this report;
• Adopt Resolution No. 9874; and

Teen Program - The City is able to utilize $35,643 or 20% of the CDBG allocation for public service programming. Traditionally, the City uses this amount to partially fund the Teen Program, which is known as The Club and operates out of Town Center Hall.

Home Improvement Program – This project would provide financial assistance in the form of a grant of up to a maximum of $20,000, to families from low-tomoderate income households for the rehabilitation of owner-occupied, single family dwellings, including mobile homes, and or condominiums/townhomes. This project will also be utilizing $104,000 from allocated FY 22/23 funds.

4. SPECIFIC ACKNOWLEDEEMENT OF WAIVER OF CLAIMS UNDER

ADEA AND OWBPA
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) makes it illegal for an employer to discharge any individual or otherwise discriminate with respect to the nature and privileges of an individual’s employment on the basis that the individual is age forty (40) or older.

The Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”), 29 U.S.C. sections 626, et seq., Pub. L. 101-433, 104 Stat. 978 (1990)) further augments the ADEA, and prohibits the waiver of any right or claim under the ADEA, unless the waiver is knowing and voluntary. By entering into this AGREEMENT, BOBADILLA acknowledges that he knowingly and voluntarily, for just compensation, waives and releases any rights he may have under the ADEA and/or OWBPA.

BOBADILLA further acknowledges that he has been advised and understands, pursuant to the provisions of the ADEA and OWBPA, that:
(a) This waiver/release is written in a manner understood by BOBADILLA; (b) BOBADILLA is aware of, and/or has been advised of, his rights under the ADEA and OWBPA, and of the legal significance of his waiver of any possible claims he currently may have under the ADEA, OWBPA and/or similar age discrimination laws; (c) BOBADILLA is entitled to a reasonable time of at least twenty-one (21) days within which to review and consider this AGREEMENT and the waiver and release of any rights he may have under the ADEA, the OWBPA and similar age discrimination laws; but may, in the exercise of his own discretion, sign or reject this AGREEMENT at any time before the expiration of the twenty-one (21) days;
(d) The waivers and releases set forth in this AGREEMENT shall not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA and/or OWBPA after the EFFECTIVE DATE of this AGREEMENT;
(e) BOBADILLA has been advised by this writing that he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this AGREEMENT;
(f) BOBADILLA has discussed, or had the opportunity to discuss, this waiver and release with, and been advised with respect thereto by, his counsel of choice, and that he does not need any additional time within which to review and consider this AGREEMENT; (g) BOBADILLA has seven (7) days following his execution of this AGREEMENT to revoke the AGREEMENT;
(h) Notice of revocation within the seven (7) day revocation period must be provided, in writing, to the CITY pursuant to this paragraph and must state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of our ‘Separation and Release Agreement’”; and (i) This AGREEMENT shall not be effective until all PARTIES have signed the AGREEMENT and ten (10) days have passed since BOBADILLA’s execution of the AGREEMENT.

NEW BUSINESS
Presentation by Consultant AECOM on the Objective Development Standards Project, which will be integrated into the Target Zoning Ordinance Updates Project

BACKGROUND
In March 2020, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted its 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation plan, which covers the planning period from October 2021 through October 2029. For the 6th cycle, SCAG received a need of 1,341,827 housing units, which was distributed to all 197 SCAG jurisdictions. Under said plan, Santa Fe Springs’ allocation is 952 units distributed within various income categories (252 units of very-low income, 159 units of low income, 152 units of moderate income and 388 units of above-moderate income).

The need and the mandate to produce more housing has prompted cities, including Santa Fe Springs, to review residential development standards to make them simpler to understand and easier to implement, resulting in faster permitting timelines and potentially accelerating housing production. Cities are updating and adding to existing regulations to create development standards that can be “objectively” reviewed by staff.

Objective Development Standards (ODS) Bundle Project
The City of Santa Fe Springs is part of an Objective Development Standards (ODS) bundle project, which is being funded by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) through the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant program. Other cities selected for the ODS bundle project are: Montebello, Santa Monica, and South Pasadena.

The primary goal of the ODS bundle is to document, assess, and modernize the standards and processes related to the development of multi-unit and mixed-use projects. By doing so, the project aims to enhance the understanding of objective development standards and expedite housing production. This initiative aligns with the City’s current efforts to update its Zoning Ordinance to ensure internal consistency with the newly adopted 2040 General Plan, and the results of the ODS bundle project will be integrated into the implementation of Santa Fe Springs’ recently adopted General Plan, and specifically the current efforts to update its Zoning Ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive the project presentation from AECOM, provide feedback as desired, and thereafter file the report.

Project Deliverables
As part of the ODS bundle project, AECOM will provide the City with the following tools to assist the City’s transition to Objective Development Standards:

1. An existing local policies and regulations review report;

2. A current project review report;

3. An updated multi-family development permit application;

4. An updated process flowchart;

5. A toolkit factsheet;

6. An online interactive fee estimator tool; and

7. Objective Development Standards toolkit for 4 multi-unit/mixed use zones.

About Objective Standards
Development standards set the rules for development, including the height of buildings, the number of units allowed per parcel, the distance between buildings and adjacent properties, the amount of open space needed on a site, parking specifications, architectural design criteria, and more. These standards play a crucial role in shaping urban development and are subject to periodic evaluation and revision.

Given the pressing need for additional housing, many cities are undertaking a comprehensive review of their residential development standards. The aim is to streamline the regulations to make them simpler to understand and easier to implement, which ultimate leads to quicker permitting processes. Cities are updating and adding to existing regulations to create development standards that can be “objectively” reviewed by staff, including:
• Creating easy-to-understand development and design regulations through measurable requirements, simple tables, and diagrams; and • Requiring no personal or subjective judgment to determine if the standards have been met, allowing for a straightforward administrative process that reduces timelines, adds certainty, and achieves reasonable design goals.

Project Engagement Milestones
The Objective Development Standards Bundle Project officially began in March 2022.

Shortly after the project’s commencement, City staff, in collaboration with the SCAG consultant (AECOM), initiated a public engagement process. This process was aimed to effectively communicate the project’s details to community members and stakeholders. As part of the outreach efforts, three events were organized to facilitate interaction and gather feedback from the public, including active participation from the City Council and Planning Commission.

Joint Study Session – City Council and Planning Commission A joint study session was held on July 19, 2022, to inform both the City Council and the Planning Commission about the project and relevant State laws to collaborate on locally appropriate solutions to increase capacity potential and accelerate housing projects.

Public Workshops
Two community workshops were provided to educate and build an understanding of objective standards and provide the public with an opportunity to give feedback on draft materials. The first workshop was held on July 20, 2022 to gather initial comments from community members and stakeholders. A second workshop was recently provided on May 11, 2023, after draft standards for the 4 multi-unit/mixed use zones were completed.

Presentation before the Planning Commission - June 25, 2023 At a special meeting on June 25, 2023, AECOM provided the Planning Commission with a presentation on the Objective Development Standards project. The presentation highlighted the various deliverables, including the ODS standards, which will be integrated with the Target Zoning Ordinance Updates (TZOU) project.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The final presentation provided by AECOM will mirror the presentation that was recently provided to the Planning Commission. It will detail the completed Objective Development Standards project deliverables and ODS standards, based on feedback gathered throughout the project. As previously mentioned, the results of the ODS bundle project will be integrated into the implementation of Santa Fe Springs’ recently adopted General Plan, and specifically the current efforts to update the City’s Zoning Ordinance to ensure internal consistency with the newly adopted 2040 General Plan.

Staff, therefore, recommends that the City Council receive the final project presentation from AECOM, provide feedback as desired, and thereafter file the report.

I. Introduction
Background
California must plan for more than 2.5 million units of housing in the next eight-year planning cycle (2021- 2029), including 952 homes in Santa Fe Springs. Because of this, the State has passed a series of laws to combat the ongoing housing crisis and better meet the housing needs of Californians, including Senate Bill 35 (Streamlining Approvals), Senate Bill 167 (Removing Barriers), Senate Bill 330 (Expediting Residential Development), among others. These new laws have prompted every city across California to review residential development and design standards in an effort to support faster permitting timelines while still achieving reasonable design goals. Cities must ensure they are complying with all aspects of State law and not hindering the development of housing.

Each municipality has development standards for new buildings that are housed in the Zoning Ordinance of the Municipal Code. These often include building height, density, setbacks, open space, and parking requirements. Cities often development standards these with design guidelines and discretionary review processes to further guide architectural character and urban design; however, these add uncertainty and delays to housing project approvals, leading to fewer and more expensive housing projects. State law now requires that housing projects be reviewed against objective standards, and specifies that subjective standards and guidelines cannot be used to deny or decrease the density of new housing projects. To be considered objective, standards must be uniformly measurable/verifiable, knowable to all parties prior to application submittal, and require no subjective judgment in order to make a determination.

Project Grant Funding
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Council approved the 2020 Sustainable Communities Program (SCP) Housing and Sustainable Development (HSD) Call for Applications in November 2020. The goal of the SCP is to implement the policies and programs of Connect SoCal, the 2020 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). With the 2019-2020 Budget Act, $250 million went to prioritize planning initiatives that would increase housing production in communities throughout the state. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) received $125 million of this funding to establish the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant program. REAP provides one-time grants to regional entities for planning activities that facilitate compliance in implementing the sixth cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), and this includes efforts to accelerate housing production – such as the development of objective standards.

SCAG awarded a REAP grant to the City of Santa Fe Springs (“City”) to document, assess, and modernize its multi-unit and mixed-use objective standards and permitting. This project, which also serves the cities of Montebello, Santa Monica, and South Pasadena, will help support a greater understanding of the role of objective standards in increasing housing production in Los Angeles County and throughout California.

SCAG commissioned AECOM, a design and planning consulting firm, to create a “toolkit” of objective development standards that will assist the four cities in more quickly adopting new standards into their respective zoning codes.

Objective Development Standard Toolkits
As part of Task 2.6, two common sets of standards were developed to be shared across each of the four cities served by the project – one for Mixed-Use projects and another for Multi-Family (Medium-Density) Residential projects. The standards that directly impact building massing have been tested on prototypical sites to demonstrate that the standards do not interfere with intended development density. For the most part, standards are designed to scale to different density and height limits, so the same or similar standards SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 3
can be used across zoning districts regardless of development intensity. This is an effort to simplify the code and ease the understanding and implementation of the standards.

This Custom Zone Toolkit was developed specifically for Santa Fe Springs. The common standards were used as a basis for the Custom Zone Toolkit, which includes more tailored standards for the City’s new Mixed-Use TOD and existing R4 zoning districts. This document is intended to be reviewed by City staff, the public, and decision-making bodies for discussion and feedback. As a next step beyond the scope of this project, the City may adopt the new standards into the Zoning Code as appropriate; standards for Mixed-Use may apply to all mixed-use zones, for example.

As this is a toolkit of recommendations, standards selected by the City to propose for inclusion in the Zoning Code may need further refinement based on the City’s unique requirements and approaches, including different measurement definitions and contextual considerations.

The standards are designed to:
• Translate existing applicable Zoning Code regulations and design guidelines into clear, objective standards in compliance with Senate Bill 35;
• Allow the maximum density permitted by zoning consistent with Senate Bill 330; • Focus on zones that apply to the highest volume potential development type, locations of greatest concern, or standards that are most challenging locally; and • Inform building form and site planning while adapting to market trends and shifting demand.

The toolkit is designed to:
• Be the basis for the development of standards for multi-unit/mixed use projects that support the level of design the City expects, confirming compliance through an administrative process; • Make it easier for applicants, staff, and the public to understand the regulations; • Create greater certainty in the review process and streamline project approvals; • Encourage housing production so the City can meet its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals; and
• Comply with state law that requires qualifying housing projects to be reviewed against objective standards1.

Informing the Toolkit
The project included a high-level technical analysis of existing policy documents, development standards and regulations, design guidelines, permit procedures, recently approved projects and submitted applications currently under review to understand how the City currently processes applications and how long the process typically takes, as well as how standards are being interpreted and applied during the permitting and entitlement process. This analysis included a review of the General Plan Land Use and Housing elements and associated policies, the City’s Zoning Code, and a handful of representative housing

1 Senate Bill 9 also requires use of objective standards for related project reviews in single-family zones; separate from this SCAG project focused on multi-unit/mixed-use zones.

development projects. It resulted in initial findings and recommendations to inform the standards developed for the toolkit and other related actions for City consideration.

Public Engagement
Additionally, the City undertook an engagement process to provide information to community members about the objective development standards and streamlined permitting project, and gather input to inform the creation of the recommended standards in the toolkit. The following outreach events were held to engage the public, stakeholders, and decision-makers in ways that result in meaningful participation. • City Council/Planning Commission Study Session: This event was held on July 19, 2022, to inform the City's decision-makers in a joint session about the project and relevant State laws to collaborate on locally appropriate solutions to increase capacity potential and accelerate housing production.
• Public Workshops: Two community workshops focused on building an understanding of objective standards and providing the public with an opportunity to give feedback on draft materials. The first workshop was held at City Hall on July 20, 2022. The second workshop was held on May 11, 2023. Both workshops were hybrid meetings with opportunities for in person and virtual participation. The first workshop was coordinated with the City’s Targeted Zoning Ordinance Update project.
• Final Project Presentation: The final presentations to the Planning Commission and City Council will be held in the summer, providing background, analysis, and a summary of the proposed objective standards and other project deliverables.

How to Use the Toolkit
For each zoning district, standards in the toolkit are organized into four categories:
• Form, related to the overall building massing and scale; • Frontage, related to how the building meets the street and façade design; • Open Space, related to the provision of private and common outdoor/recreational space; • Parking, related to the provision of auto and bike parking.

The guide below explains how the sections and sub-sections in this document are intended to be used:

II. Mixed Use
Form & Scale
Setbacks
Considerations
• The City’s Zoning Code already includes setback requirements, which require a minimum distance between a building and the public right-of-way. It is proposed at 10 feet in this zone. • Setback ranges use a slightly different approach, and are implemented by requiring a percentage of the building’s frontage to be within a specified distance of the minimum setback. These ranges include a minimum setback applicable to all parts of a building and a maximum setback applicable to a percentage of the building façade (e.g. 70%, as used below). • The flexibility provided by requiring only a percentage of the parcel frontage to be placed within the range is important for the accommodation of open space areas, outdoor dining, driveways, and/or other amenity spaces.
• In pedestrian-oriented areas, especially those with alley access to a parcel, percentages of 80% or higher may be appropriate, while in more auto-oriented areas, percentages may be lowered to accommodate more auto-oriented uses and circulation needs, e.g. 50%, while still establishing a more pedestrian-oriented character.
• Mixed Use and Multi Family buildings generally have two frontage or access variations:

1. A shared building entrance, with units accessed via the circulation spaces internal to the building or site, from a common space like a lobby or corridor.

2. Multiple individual residential unit entrances that provide access to units directly from the sidewalk or property line.

In a Multi-Family scenario, individual residential unit entrances are common in small to medium scale development, such as townhomes or three-story buildings. Larger developments might provide a combination of the two options, where ground floor units have access from the sidewalk and upper floor units have access through internal circulation. In a Mixed Use scenario, each store has an entrance and units above would typically be accessed via shared internal circulation.

Each frontage type has different opportunities for landscaping. The standard included below includes requirements to encourage as much landscaping as possible, taking into account feasibility based on entrance needs.
• Additional considerations related to setbacks are discussed in the Common Zone Toolkit.

Intent
To provide a consistent street edge that defines the pedestrian environment, enhances the character of the public right-of-way, and creates a sense of place.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 7
Standards
Street setbacks: Buildings shall be located within 5 feet of the minimum setback for at least 70 percent of the building frontage along the primary right-of-way and 50 percent along any secondary right-of-way, excluding alleys.

Landscaping. A minimum percentage of the setback area, where a setback is required, shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and/or groundcover, either in the form of in-ground landscaping or planters, as follows:

Frontages with shared entrances to internal circulation 50% Frontages with individual residential unit entrances 30% With a stoop taller than 30 inches 10%
Frontages with commercial tenant entrances 30%
With outdoor dining 10%
Interior setbacks: Buildings shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from adjacent Residential zoning districts.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 8
Streetwall
Considerations
• Streetwall standards, in conjunction with setbacks, can help create pedestrian-oriented development by mandating a certain level of massing at the street. It can also be used to move massing away from adjacent properties.
• Streetwall standards are often used to reinforce an existing, historic built form, but can also be used to create a new pedestrian-oriented district or corridor with a more traditional urban character.

Intent
To encourage urban form that “frames” the street and creates a sense of enclosure for pedestrians.

Standards
Streetwall: Street-facing facades shall meet or exceed 25 feet (or 2 stories in height) for at least 75 percent of building frontage along public rights-of-way, unless the overall building height is lower than 2 stories.

Streetwall is defined as any street-facing façade, excluding appurtenances, within 5 feet of the minimum setback and is not required to be continuous.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 9
Stepbacks
Considerations
• The proposed height for this zone is 60 feet and 4 stories. As written, this standard is meant for Density Bonus projects that seek additional height in exchange for affordable housing. • Portions of a building that are set back from the street frontage are generally more hidden from view and can give the appearance of a shorter building to those on the street. • Interior stepbacks (also known as daylight/encroachment planes) are used to step down building massing to less intensive uses (e.g. where mixed-use meets single-family residential).

Intent
To encourage building heights and massing that are responsive to the surrounding context, including opportunities to reinforce the built character along streets as well as the need to transition to lower-density surroundings in the rear.

Standards
Street stepbacks: Street-facing facades greater than 4 stories shall be stepped back a minimum of ten feet from the minimum setback line. Uses allowed within the stepback depth include balconies, terraces, shade structures, and similar open space features.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 10 Interior/rear stepbacks: Adjacent to Residential zoning districts, buildings shall not be located within a plane sloping upward and inward at a 45-degree angle measured from the vertical, starting 25 feet above the existing grade along the property line. Uses allowed within the stepback include balconies, terraces, shade structures, and similar open space features.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 11 Rooflines
Considerations
• Standards encouraging varied roof lines can help prevent monolithic buildings and add visual interest in new development.
• One approach can be to allow buildings to exceed height limits, but only for a percentage of the building footprint, so that the additional floor contributes to variations in the roof line and/or façade plane.
• If the additional height bonus (described above) is not desired, “height averaging” may be used, which allows the additional height only if other portions of the building are shorter in equal measure, so that the average height of building is at or even below the height limit. This could result in greater variation in building form and rooflines, but makes it somewhat less likely that a developer would choose this option.

Intent
To allow space for variation and incentivize differing building heights within the same project, contributing to a more distinctive and visually compelling skyline.

Standards
Roofline variation: Buildings may exceed the height limit by up to 14 feet for a maximum of 30 percent of a building’s footprint. This allowance is not applicable within interior/rear setbacks or stepbacks and may not be used in conjunction with a concession for building height through density bonus.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 12 Modulation
Considerations
• Building modulation/articulation standards help to avoid monotonous and flat façades by requiring portions of a building façade to be stepped back from the street. • The menu of standards options included below emphasize flexible approaches to modulation that are not specific to a particular architectural style and that allow for creativity in design. • When modulation, length, and corner treatment standards are used together, it is important to understand how they relate to each other in specific areas with unique parcel sizes and development typologies so that unintended consequences are avoided. • Dimension requirements may be modified to better fit the individual style or objectives of the city.

Intent
To prevent building façades that are monolithic in appearance and avoid flat or featureless design.

Standards
Façade modulation: Façades shall be modulated with at least three of the following elements:
a) Balconies recessed at least 2 feet in depth;
b) Vertical pilasters 3 inches in depth reflecting building structure or architectural style; c) Horizontal bands, trims, or reveals 3 inches in depth along multiple levels; d) A change in material or texture (excluding windows, doors and railings).

Façade length: Street-facing façades of 150 feet or longer shall include a minimum break of 10 percent of the façade length or 20 feet in width, at least 10 feet deep and open to the sky.

Corner treatments: Corner-facing facades of 75 feet or longer shall incorporate at least two of the following elements within 50 feet of the building corner along the primary frontage:
a) A building entrance;
b) A change in height of at least 4 feet for an area 10 feet by 10 feet minimum; c) A change in façade plane on upper stories of at least 2 feet in depth; d) A change of façade material or texture (excluding windows, doors and railings); e) A public open space or outdoor dining.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 13 Frontages
Ground Floor
Considerations
• Standards in this section are designed for both non-residential (including commercial) space or residential common spaces along the ground floor, such as lobbies, lounges, or fitness centers. If individual residential unit entrances are allowed on the ground floor, see the Multi-Family Standards in Section III of this document.
• Ground floor heights less than 11-12 feet (measured floor to finished ceiling) can be harder to lease to retail tenants. Also, taller ground floor heights contribute to a “base-middle-top” architectural approach that is typically desirable.
• On corridors where both Mixed-Use and Multi-Family buildings are permitted, consider requiring residential ground floors to have the same minimum height as commercial ground floors, to create a more consistent character and improve internal amenity. • Transparency requirements should be higher in pedestrian-oriented retail areas (70-80%) and may be lower (around 50%) in more auto-oriented areas where transparency may not be as feasible for many uses.
• Some cities have begun to require shade structures (e.g. awnings) along certain corridors to protect pedestrians from direct sun and heat, particularly in places where street trees are not providing sufficient shade. An example of a shading requirement is provided.

Intent
To promote an active, accessible, and comfortable pedestrian environment that enhances the public realm at a human scale, provides visual interest, and enables flexible uses over time.

Standards
Floor height: Ground floor commercial, non-residential, and residential common spaces shall have a minimum height of 12 feet, measured floor-to-finished ceiling. Ground floor residential units shall have a minimum height of 8 feet, measured floor-to-finished ceiling.

Elevation : Non residential and residential common spaces on the ground floor shall be located within 2 feet above or below sidewalk elevation. Primary entrances shall be located at sidewalk elevation.

Elevation : Residential units on the ground floor shall have a finished floor between two and four feet above the nearest public sidewalk elevation. On sloping sites, up to 25 percent of units may have finished floors up to 6 feet above the nearest sidewalk.

Entrances. Street-facing façades shall provide a minimum of one entrance per 100 feet of frontage. These entrances shall open directly onto the sidewalk or another public open space, and be distinguished by at least one of the following:
a) Awning/canopy;
b) Porch/portico;
c) Trellis; or
SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 14 d) Architectural element that creates well-defined entrance.

Recessed entrances. Primary building entrances shall be set back at least 30 inches from the façade.

Secondary building entrances shall be setback at least 30 inches from the public right-of-way.

Transparency: Street-facing façades shall incorporate glazing for a certain percentage of the building frontage between 2 and 10 feet in height from sidewalk elevation. Windows shall provide views into display, lobby, sales, work, or similar active areas.

For non-residential and residential common space uses, at least 60 percent of the frontage shall be transparent.

For ground floor residential units, at least 15 percent of the frontage shall be transparent.

Blank walls: Windowless expanses of walls on the ground floor shall not exceed 20 feet in length. Blank walls over 10 feet in length shall be enhanced by one of the following:
a) Pattern, motif, etching, or similar decoration;
b) Landscaping that covers at least 50 percent of the wall area; c) Trellis or similar projection;
d) Public art approved by review authority.

Primary and Secondary Frontages: Ground floor (“podium”) parking for all projects on parcels with primary or secondary frontages of:
a) 100 feet or greater: shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses with a minimum depth of 15 feet, except for vehicle/pedestrian access areas.
b) less than 100 feet: all ground floor parking adjacent to a primary or secondary frontage and not buffered by non-parking uses shall be screened with a landscape buffer at least 5 feet in depth.

Plant materials shall be spaced to provide consistent screening for length of parking façade and reach a height of 75% of the height of the parking façade, within two years of planting.

Shading: Shade structures shall allow a minimum vertical clearance of eight feet above sidewalk elevation.

Shade structures shall not conflict with existing street trees.

Security devices: Any security devices (i.e. roll-up doors) shall be designed to be fully concealed and hidden from view during business hours.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 15 Façades
Considerations
• Architectural elements can be difficult to standardize – especially when they must account for different architectural styles – and the standards here are meant to be flexible to allow architects creative license for various kinds of façade detailing. • Transparency is important and helps provide eyes on the street, though there can be reasons to limit the amount required, such as privacy. Solar heat gain in the summer is another, though that can be partially mitigated by shading devices.
• Allowing balconies to project a certain amount from the building façade – but only counting them towards the Open Space requirements with a 5-foot minimum dimension (see following section) – means they will need to be inset, adding another level of plane variation to the building façade. • Lighting is important for safety in large projects, but is also a common complaint among neighbors of new development. These standards are designed to reduce light trespass. • General material standards are provided to prevent incongruent building façades with excessive changes in materials. The City may opt to include specific materials and/or colors standards based on the existing character of the street.

Intent
To address the incorporation of architectural elements and features for attractive articulation, creating welldesigned and coherent building façades with sufficient detail, relief and/or variation.

Standards
Composition: Street-facing façades shall include at least three of the following:
a) Pattern of modulation or fenestration;
b) Datum lines along the length of the building (e.g. cornice) at least 4 inches in depth; c) Repeated projections (e.g. architectural detail, shading) at least 4 inches in depth; d) Balconies over 20 percent of the elevation;
e) Screening (e.g. lattices, louvers).

Transparency: Street-facing façades shall incorporate glazing for at least 30 percent of the façade, including ground floor transparency.

Windows: Windows shall be recessed at least 2 inches from the face of the façade.

Windows shall have a visible transmittance (VT) of 0.6 or higher. Mirrored, tinted or highly reflective glazing is prohibited.

Vinyl windows are prohibited.

Materials: A minimum of two materials shall be used on any building façade, in addition to glazing, railings, and trim, and shall correspond to variations in building plane.

A primary material shall cover at least 40 percent of any building façade, excluding windows.

Color: No more than four colors shall be applied to the building façade (one primary color and up to three trim colors), excluding art (e.g. a mural).

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 16 Balconies: Balconies shall not be located within 6 feet of any interior property line Balcony projections: Balconies shall project a maximum of 4 feet from the building façade.

Roof decks: Roof decks located within 25 feet of a Residential zoning district shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from the building edge.

The sum of all roof decks on a single building shall not exceed 60 percent of the roof area to allow for mechanical equipment including solar panels.

Lighting: All structures, entrances, parking areas, common open spaces, and pedestrian pathways shall be lit from dusk to dawn.

Lighting shall be located to illuminate only the intended area, and a minimum of 90% of all lighting shall be directed downward.

Lighting shall not extend beyond an interior property line, and light sources shall not be visible from adjacent properties.

Screening: Mechanical equipment, excluding solar panels, shall be screened from public view.

Fences and walls: Barbed wire, chain-link, and razor wire are prohibited.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 17 Open Space
Considerations
• Minimum open space area recommendations are based on the size and type of project. In the example standards below, private open space is specific to a unit, while common open space is shared by multiple residents, but generally not open to the public. • While many California cities require open space through a per unit requirement (e.g. 200 sf/unit) some cities have moved to a requirement based on a building’s gross floor area (GFA) to more closely correlate the amount of open space to the size of the building and the expected number of residents. With per unit requirements, a studio and a 3-bedroom unit would be required to provide the same amount of open space, despite likely differences in the number of people living in the unit.
• Open space requirements directly influence the massing and design of a building: in general, greater private and/or common open space requirements tend to lead to more balconies, upper floor terraces, ground floor courtyards, amenity spaces over parking podiums, and other types of open space that influence a building’s character, scale, and form. • Cities may opt to emphasize common space over private, or vice versa. Though we recommend combining the two into one residential open space requirement to allow for more design flexibility, cities may still prioritize one over the other by including standards for a minimum or maximum percentage which may be counted towards either, depending on the focus of the city. Private open space typically means more balconies, while common can lead to more courtyards or roof decks. • Some cities now require open space for large non-residential/commercial buildings – and, while unlikely in a housing-focused project, a standard based on GFA is included below.

Intent
To provide a variety of open spaces that contribute enhanced livability by providing residents access to light and air, and tie open space requirements to the size of buildings and number of residents.

Standards
Minimum Area
Minimum Open Space shall comply with the applicable design standards depending on type of open space.

Areas used for parking, loading, or storage shall not be counted towards minimum Open Space. • Residential Open Space: Projects with a residential component shall provide a minimum of 15 percent of the residential GFA as a combination of Common and Private Open Space. • Non-residential Open Space: Projects with over 40,000 square feet of non-residential GFA shall provide a minimum of 5 percent of the non-residential GFA as Common Open Space.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 18 Private Open Space
Access: Private Open Space shall abut and have direct access to the associated tenant space.

Amount: A minimum of 30 percent of the required Residential Open Space shall be Private Open Space.

Dimensions: Private Open Space shall have a minimum area of 40 square feet and a minimum dimension of 5 feet in each direction.

Distribution: All Private Open Space shall be outdoors and may be located within a required setback or stepback.

Common Open Space
Access: Common Open Space shall be available to all tenants of the building at no cost.

Amount: A minimum of 30 percent of the required Residential Open Space shall be Common Open Space.

Dimensions: Common Open Space shall have a minimum area of 500 square feet and a minimum dimension of 15 feet in each direction.

Distribution: A minimum of 70 percent of Common Open Space shall be outdoors, and a minimum of 80 percent of outdoor Common Open Space shall be open to the sky.

A maximum of 30 percent of Common Open Space shall be indoors (i.e. lounges, fitness centers, and similar). Indoor Common Open Space shall not include spaces primarily used for circulation.

Landscaping: A minimum of 25 percent of Common Open Space shall be planted area.

Trees: A minimum of one 24-inch box tree per project or for every 500 square feet of outdoor Common Open Space, whichever is greater, shall be planted within the Common Open Space, excluding rooftop decks.

Hardscape: A maximum of 25 percent of Common Open Space may be paved in standard concrete, with the remainder using enhanced paving such as brick, natural stone, unit concrete pavers, textured/colored concrete, or similar.

Water features: A maximum of 5 percent of Common Open Space shall be decorative water features, such as fountains or reflecting pools.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 19 Parking
Considerations
• According to recent California State law, no parking is required for housing within a half-mile radius of high-quality public transit stops. Regardless, it is expected that many new projects will include at least some parking.
• Curb cuts can create conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, as well as vehicles and other vehicles. In general, driveways should be avoided on primary corridors and instead development should provide vehicular access from side streets or from alleys if present.

Intent
To reduce the visual impacts of parking and reduce the potential for conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Standards
Vehicle Access
Driveways: A maximum of one two-way driveway shall be permitted on sites with less than 200 feet of primary street frontage. A maximum of two two-lane driveways shall be permitted on sites with 200 feet or more of primary street frontage.

A minimum of one driveway shall be located on a secondary street or alley, where available.

Driveways and associated curb-cuts shall have a maximum width of 25 feet.

The minimum distance between driveways on the same lot shall be 50 feet.

Controlled entrances to parking (e.g. gates) shall be located at least 20 feet from the property line to allow for a queueing vehicle.

Surface Parking
Setbacks: Parking shall be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the primary frontage, 10 feet from any secondary frontage, and 5 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses or a landscaped setback adjacent to the property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Landscaped setbacks shall include hedges or shrubs with a minimum height of 3 feet at the time of planting that form a continuous visual screen to block vehicle headlights.

Landscaping: A minimum of 5 percent of the parking area shall be landscaped and permeable, in addition to any landscaped setbacks. This area shall be distributed throughout the parking area.

Trees: A minimum of one shade tree (a 24-inch box tree) for every 4 vehicle parking spaces shall be planted and evenly distributed throughout the parking area.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 20 Structured Parking
Setbacks: Structured parking shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Above ground parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses with a minimum depth of 35 feet adjacent to the primary street property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Semi-subterranean parking shall not extend beyond the building façade and may not project higher than four feet above sidewalk elevation.

Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking shall be provided consistent with the standards referenced within CalGreen Code section 5.106.4.1. In addition, the following standards shall apply:

Horizontal storage: Each horizontal bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of two feet in width and six feet in length, with a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

Vertical storage: Each vertical or wall-mounted bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of three feet six inches in length, with three feet between racks and a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

Aisles: Access to bicycle parking spaces shall be at least five feet in width. Bicycle spaces shall be separated from auto parking spaces or drive aisles by a fence, wall, curb, or at least five feet of open area.

III. Mixed-Use TOD
Form & Scale
Setbacks
Considerations
• The City’s Zoning Code already includes setback requirements, which require a minimum distance between a building and the public right-of-way. It is proposed at 10 feet in this zone. • Setback ranges use a slightly different approach, and are implemented by requiring a percentage of the building’s frontage to be within a specified distance of the minimum setback. These ranges include a minimum setback applicable to all parts of a building and a maximum setback applicable to a percentage of the building façade (e.g. 70%, as used below). • The flexibility provided by requiring only a percentage of the parcel frontage to be placed within the range is important for the accommodation of open space areas, outdoor dining, driveways, and/or other amenity spaces.
• In pedestrian-oriented areas, especially those with alley access to a parcel, percentages of 80% or higher may be appropriate, while in more auto-oriented areas, percentages may be lowered to SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 21 accommodate more auto-oriented uses and circulation needs, e.g. 50%, while still establishing a more pedestrian-oriented character.
• Mixed Use and Multi Family buildings generally have two frontage or access variations:

1. A shared building entrance, with units accessed via the circulation spaces internal to the building or site, from a common space like a lobby or corridor

2. Multiple individual residential unit entrances that provide access to units directly from the sidewalk or property line
In a Multi-Family scenario, individual residential unit entrances are common in small to medium scale development, such as townhomes or three-story buildings. Larger developments might provide a combination of the two options, where ground floor units have access from the sidewalk and upper floor units have access through internal circulation. In a Mixed Use scenario, each store has an entrance and units above would typically be accessed via shared internal circulation.

Each frontage type has different opportunities for landscaping. The standard included below includes requirements to encourage as much landscaping as possible, taking into account feasibility based on entrance needs.
• Additional considerations related to setbacks are discussed in the Toolkit.

Intent
To provide a consistent street edge that defines the pedestrian environment, enhances the character of the public right-of-way, and creates a sense of place.

Standards
Street setbacks: Buildings shall be located within 5 feet of the minimum setback for at least 70 percent of the building frontage along the primary right-of-way and 50 percent along any secondary right-of-way, excluding alleys.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 22 Landscaping. A minimum percentage of the setback area, where a setback is required, shall be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and/or groundcover, either in the form of in-ground landscaping or planters, as follows:

Frontages with shared entrances to internal circulation 50% Frontages with individual residential unit entrances 30% With a stoop taller than 30 inches 10%
Frontages with commercial tenant entrances 30%
With outdoor dining 10%
Interior setbacks: Buildings shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from adjacent Residential zoning districts.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 25 Interior/rear stepbacks: Adjacent to Residential zoning districts, buildings shall not be located within a plane sloping upward and inward at a 45-degree angle measured from the vertical, starting 25 feet above the existing grade along the property line.

Ground Floor
Considerations
• Standards in this section are designed for both non-residential (including commercial) space or residential common spaces along the ground floor, such as lobbies, lounges, or fitness centers. If individual residential unit entrances are allowed on the ground floor, see the Multi-Family Standards in Section III of this document.
• Ground floor heights less than 11-12 feet (measured floor to finished ceiling) can be harder to lease to retail tenants. Also, taller ground floor heights contribute to a “base-middle-top” architectural approach that is typically desirable.

Shading: Shade structures shall allow a minimum vertical clearance of eight feet above sidewalk elevation.

Shade structures shall not conflict with existing street trees.

Security devices: Any security devices (i.e. roll-up doors) shall be designed to be fully concealed and hidden from view during business hours.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 30 Façades
Considerations
• Architectural elements can be difficult to standardize – especially when they must account for different architectural styles – and the standards here are meant to be flexible to allow architects creative license for various kinds of façade detailing. • Transparency is important and helps provide eyes on the street, though there can be reasons to limit the amount required, such as privacy. Solar heat gain in the summer is another, though that can be partially mitigated by shading devices.
• Allowing balconies to project a certain amount from the building façade – but only counting them towards the Open Space requirements with a 5-foot minimum dimension (see following section) – means they will need to be inset, adding another level of plane variation to the building façade. • Lighting is important for safety in large projects, but is also a common complaint among neighbors of new development. These standards are designed to reduce light trespass. • General material standards are provided to prevent incongruent building façades with excessive changes in materials. The City may opt to include specific materials and/or colors standards based on the existing character of the street.

Intent
To address the incorporation of architectural elements and features for attractive articulation, creating welldesigned and coherent building façades with sufficient detail, relief and/or variation.

Standards
Composition: Street-facing façades shall include at least three of the following:
f) Pattern of modulation or fenestration;
g) Datum lines along the length of the building (e.g. cornice) at least 4 inches in depth; h) Repeated projections (e.g. architectural detail, shading) at least 4 inches in depth; i) Balconies over 20 percent of the elevation;
j) Screening (e.g. lattices, louvers).

Transparency: Street-facing façades shall incorporate glazing for at least 30 percent of the façade, including ground floor transparency.

Windows: Windows shall be recessed at least 2 inches from the face of the façade.

Windows shall have a visible transmittance (VT) of 0.6 or higher. Mirrored, tinted or highly reflective glazing is prohibited.

Vinyl windows are prohibited.

Materials: A minimum of two materials shall be used on any building façade, in addition to glazing, railings, and trim, and shall correspond to variations in building plane.

A primary material shall cover at least 40 percent of any building façade, excluding windows.

Color: No more than four colors shall be applied to the building façade (one primary color and up to three trim colors), excluding art (e.g. a mural).

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 31 Balconies: Balconies shall not be located within 6 feet of any interior property line Balcony projections: Balconies shall project a maximum of 4 feet from the building façade.

Roof decks: Roof decks located within 25 feet of a Residential zoning district shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from the building edge.

The sum of all roof decks on a single building shall not exceed 60 percent of the roof area to allow for mechanical equipment including solar panels.

Lighting: All structures, entrances, parking areas, common open spaces, and pedestrian pathways shall be lit from dusk to dawn.

Lighting shall be located to illuminate only the intended area, and a minimum of 90% of all lighting shall be directed downward.

Lighting shall not extend beyond an interior property line, and light sources shall not be visible from adjacent properties.

Screening: Mechanical equipment, excluding solar panels, shall be screened from public view.

Fences and walls: Barbed wire, chain-link, and razor wire are prohibited.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 32 Open Space
Considerations
• Minimum open space area recommendations are based on the size and type of project. In the example standards below, private open space is specific to a unit, while common open space is shared by multiple residents, but generally not open to the public. • While many California cities require open space through a per unit requirement (e.g. 200 sf/unit) some cities have moved to a requirement based on a building’s gross floor area (GFA) to more closely correlate the amount of open space to the size of the building and the expected number of residents. With per unit requirements, a studio and a 3-bedroom unit would be required to provide the same amount of open space, despite likely differences in the number of people living in the unit.
• Open space requirements directly influence the massing and design of a building: in general, greater private and/or common open space requirements tend to lead to more balconies, upper floor terraces, ground floor courtyards, amenity spaces over parking podiums, and other types of open space that influence a building’s character, scale, and form. • Cities may opt to emphasize common space over private, or vice versa. Though we recommend combining the two into one residential open space requirement to allow for more design flexibility, cities may still prioritize one over the other by including standards for a minimum or maximum percentage which may be counted towards either, depending on the focus of the city. Private open space typically means more balconies, while common can lead to more courtyards or roof decks. • Some cities now require open space for large non-residential/commercial buildings – and, while unlikely in a housing-focused project, a standard based on GFA is included below.

Intent
To provide a variety of open spaces that contribute enhanced livability by providing residents access to light and air, and tie open space requirements to the size of buildings and number of residents.

Standards
Minimum Area
Minimum Open Space shall comply with the applicable design standards depending on type of open space.

Areas used for parking, loading, or storage shall not be counted towards minimum Open Space. • Residential Open Space: Projects with a residential component shall provide a minimum of 15 percent of the residential GFA as a combination of Common and Private Open Space. • Non-residential Open Space: Projects with over 40,000 square feet of non-residential GFA shall provide a minimum of 5 percent of the non-residential GFA as Common Open Space. • Public Open Space: Projects located within the MU-TOD zone with over 80,000 square feet of gross floor area, shall provide a minimum of two percent of gross floor area as Public Open Space.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 33 Private Open Space
Access: Private Open Space shall abut and have direct access to the associated tenant space.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 35 Parking
Considerations
• According to recent California State law, no parking is required for housing within a half-mile radius of high-quality public transit stops. Regardless, it is expected that many new projects will include at least some parking.
• Curb cuts can create conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, as well as vehicles and other vehicles. In general, driveways should be avoided on primary corridors and instead development should provide vehicular access from side streets or from alleys if present.

Intent
To reduce the visual impacts of parking and reduce the potential for conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Standards
Vehicle Access
Driveways: A maximum of one two-way driveway shall be permitted on sites with less than 200 feet of primary street frontage. A maximum of two two-lane driveways shall be permitted on sites with 200 feet or more of primary street frontage.

A minimum of one driveway shall be located on a secondary street or alley, where available.

Driveways and associated curb-cuts shall have a maximum width of 25 feet.

The minimum distance between driveways on the same lot shall be 50 feet.

Controlled entrances to parking (e.g. gates) shall be located at least 20 feet from the property line to allow for a queueing vehicle.

Surface Parking
Setbacks: Parking shall be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the primary frontage, 10 feet from any secondary frontage, and 5 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses or a landscaped setback adjacent to the property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Landscaped setbacks shall include hedges or shrubs with a minimum height of 3 feet at the time of planting that form a continuous visual screen to block vehicle headlights.

Landscaping: A minimum of 5 percent of the parking area shall be landscaped and permeable, in addition to any landscaped setbacks. This area shall be distributed throughout the parking area.

Trees: A minimum of one shade tree (a 24-inch box tree) for every 4 vehicle parking spaces shall be planted and evenly distributed throughout the parking area.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 36 Structured Parking
Setbacks: Structured parking shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Above ground parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses with a minimum depth of 35 feet adjacent to the primary street property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Semi-subterranean parking shall not extend beyond the building façade and may not project higher than four feet above sidewalk elevation.

Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking shall be provided consistent with the standards referenced within CalGreen Code section 5.106.4.1. In addition, the following standards shall apply:

Horizontal storage: Each horizontal bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of two feet in width and six feet in length, with a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

Vertical storage: Each vertical or wall-mounted bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of three feet six inches in length, with three feet between racks and a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

Aisles: Access to bicycle parking spaces shall be at least five feet in width. Bicycle spaces shall be separated from auto parking spaces or drive aisles by a fence, wall, curb, or at least five feet of open area.

IV. Multi Family Residential (R3) Standards
Form & Scale
Setbacks
Considerations
• Street setback standards help contribute to an area’s urban form by establishing either a traditional, pedestrian character in which buildings are placed directly adjacent to the street; or alternatively, by establishing a more auto-oriented character where buildings are placed towards the rear of the parcel, typically with parking in front.
• Low to medium-density residential developments typically have larger setbacks than higherintensity uses in order to give residents privacy and separation from the public realm. At least 5 to 10 feet is recommended.
• Buildings with consistent setbacks create a comfortable rhythm along the street and contribute to the walkability of the neighborhood.

Intent
To provide a consistent street edge that defines the pedestrian environment, enhances the character of the public right-of-way, and creates a sense of place.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 37 Standards
Setbacks: Buildings shall be set back a minimum of 15 feet from the property line. A minimum of 50 percent of ground-floor building frontage shall be placed at or within 5 feet of the front setback.

Landscaping: All setbacks shall be landscaped with the exception of driveways and pedestrian paths.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 38 Stepbacks
Considerations
• Building height is limited to 25 feet in the R3 zone; new projects may apply for additional height through the state Density Bonus program, which is generally when stepbacks would be required. • Street stepbacks are used where there may be sensitivity to massing along the street frontage and/or where new development is permitted to be significantly higher than existing development and height transitions are desired.
• Portions of a building that are set back from the street frontage are generally more hidden from view and can give the appearance of a shorter building to those on the street. • Interior stepbacks are used to step down building massing to less intensive uses (e.g. where higherdensity meets single-family residential).

Intent
To encourage building scales that are responsive to the surrounding context, including opportunities to reinforce the built character along streets and transition to lower-density surroundings.

Standards
Street Stepbacks: On street-facing façades, portions of a building above the second story shall be stepped back a minimum of 5 feet, measured from the building façade.

Interior Stepbacks: On façades abutting R1 zoning districts, the building shall be stepped back above the second story a minimum of 5 feet, measured from the building façade.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 39 Modulation
Considerations
• Building modulation/articulation standards help to avoid monotonous and flat façades by requiring portions of a building façade to be stepped back from the street. • The menu of standards options included below emphasize flexible approaches to modulation that are not specific to a particular architectural style and that allow for creativity in design. • Dimension requirements may be modified to better fit the individual style or objectives of the city.

Intent
To design buildings with sensible forms and a unified architectural vision, creating visual patterns and rhythms in the façade while mitigating the monolithic appearance of larger buildings and avoiding flat or featureless design.

Standards
Building length: Buildings shall be no longer than 6 units or 150 feet in length, whichever is less, with a minimum separation of 10 feet between buildings.

Façade modulation. Street-facing façades over 2 stories in height shall incorporate two of the following:
a) A sloped roof with a pitch greater than 3/12;
b) A flat roof with a minimum 2-foot vertical height difference for a minimum of 10 feet in length and depth;
c) A top-level stepback of at least 2 feet for a minimum of 25 percent of the length of the façade; d) A terrace at least 5 feet in depth and 8 feet in width, open to the sky, at least every 50 feet; e) Balconies over 20 percent of the elevation;
f) A change in material or texture (excluding windows, doors and railings).

Façade break. Façade planes adjacent to R1 zoning districts shall not exceed 50 feet in width without a façade break of at least 5 feet deep and 10 feet wide.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 40 Frontages
Ground Floor
Considerations
• Standards are designed for individual residential unit entries as townhome development is the most likely product at and below 25 dwelling units per acre. Activation of the street through high-quality design is especially important at lower densities since there are fewer people/businesses to make the street active.
• Entrances oriented toward the street and direct pathways help maintain connection to the public realm, while setbacks and an elevation change of at least a few steps can help physically separate them from passers-by.
• Walls, fences, and hardscape over 30 inches in height adjacent to the sidewalk can constrain the public realm, so it’s recommended to set these elements back and provide a landscaped buffer.

Intent
To promote an active, accessible, and comfortable pedestrian environment that enhances the public realm at a human scale, promotes a sense of openness, and enables flexible uses over time.

Standards
Entrances: Residential units located adjacent to a street shall have a primary entrance facing the street.

Entrances shall have a minimum 3-foot by 3-foot covered landing area at the same grade as the interior floor.

Entrances shall incorporate at least three of the following:
a) Recessed at least 2 feet from the building façade;
b) Overhead projection of at least 2 feet in depth (e.g. porch roof); c) A sidelight window, adjacent window, or door with a window; d) At least one stair, up or down, from the pedestrian pathway; e) Paving material, texture, or pattern differentiated from the pedestrian pathway.

Elevation: Buildings shall have a finished floor between two and four feet above the nearest public sidewalk elevation. On sloping sites, up to 25 percent of units may have finished floors up to 6 feet above the nearest sidewalk.

Paths: Pedestrian pathways to all primary entrances and common areas shall have a minimum clearance of 3 feet in width, including to lobbies, open space, parking, and refuse collection areas.

Where located parallel to a driveway, a change of material or pattern shall distinguish pedestrian pathways from vehicular travel lanes.

Walls and fences: Freestanding walls, fences, and raised planters taller than 30 inches shall be set back a minimum of 18 inches from the property line, separated by planted area.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 41 Stoops and patios: The side of a patio or stoop (when parallel to a sidewalk) taller than 30 inches shall be set back a minimum of 18 inches from the property line, separated by planted area.

Façades
Considerations
• Architectural elements can be difficult to standardize – especially when they must account for different architectural styles – and the standards here are meant to be flexible to allow architects creative license for various kinds of façade detailing. • Transparency is important – though residential units require less than commercial uses. Solar heat gain in the summer can also be a reason to limit the transparency required, though that can be partially mitigated by appropriate shading.
• Allowing balconies to project a certain amount from the building façade – but only counting them towards the Open Space requirements with a larger dimension (see following section) – means they will need to be inset, adding another level of plane variation to the building façade. • Lighting is important for safety in large projects, but is also a common complaint among neighbors of new development. These standards are designed to reduce or eliminate light trespass. • General material standards are provided to prevent incongruent building façades with excessive changes in materials. The City may opt to include specific materials and/or colors standards based on the existing character of the street.
• In some townhome projects, particularly those on narrow lots, developers often build “side-loaded” townhomes in which the units are oriented parallel to the street, facing the driveway, so that the front of development appears to be the side of a unit. This typology has implications for the character of the neighborhood as the buildings don’t always appear to “address” the street.

Objective standards can help to mitigate this effect.

Intent
To address the incorporation of architectural elements and features for attractive articulation, creating welldesigned and coherent building façades with sufficient detail, relief and/or variation.

Standards
Transparency: Street-facing façades shall incorporate glazing for at least 20 percent of the overall façade, including at least 15 percent of the ground level.

Lighting shall be located to illuminate only the intended area, and a minimum of 90 percent of lighting shall be directed downward.

Lighting shall not extend beyond an interior property line, and light sources shall not be visible from adjacent properties.

Screening: Rooftop equipment, excluding solar photovoltaic, shall be screened from public view.

Fences and walls: Barbed wire, chain-link, and razor wire are prohibited.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 43 Open Space
Considerations
• Minimum area recommendations are based on the size of the project. • Some cities have moved from a per unit requirement to one based on gross floor area (Los Angeles) or per bedroom (Pasadena) in order to better correlate the amount of open space to the size of the building and the expected number of residents.
• Basing the residential open space requirement on gross floor area is the simplest calculation for staff, yet the amount of floor area can change throughout the design process, making it harder for developers who don’t provide beyond the minimum.

Intent
To provide a variety of open spaces that contribute enhanced livability by providing residents access to light and air, and tie open space requirements to the size of buildings and number of residents.

Standards
Site Landscaping
At least 15 percent of the overall site shall be landscaped. • Landscaping provided to meet other requirements related to surface parking, setbacks and common open space may contribute to achieving this total requirement.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 49 Frontages
Ground Floor
Considerations
• Standards are designed for individual residential unit entries as townhome development is the most likely product at and below 25 dwelling units per acre. Activation of the street through high-quality design is especially important at lower densities since there are fewer people/businesses to make the street active.
• Entrances oriented toward the street and direct pathways help maintain connection to the public realm, while setbacks and an elevation change of at least a few steps can help physically separate them from passers-by.
• Walls, fences, and hardscape over 30 inches in height adjacent to the sidewalk can constrain the public realm, so it’s recommended to set these elements back and provide a landscaped buffer.

Intent
To promote an active, accessible, and comfortable pedestrian environment that enhances the public realm at a human scale, promotes a sense of openness, and enables flexible uses over time.

Standards
Entrances: Residential units located adjacent to a street shall have a primary entrance facing the street.

Entrances shall have a minimum 3-foot by 3-foot covered landing area at the same grade as the interior floor.

Entrances shall incorporate at least three of the following:
f) Recessed at least 2 feet from the building façade;
g) Overhead projection of at least 2 feet in depth (e.g. porch roof); h) A sidelight window, adjacent window, or door with a window; i) At least one stair, up or down, from the pedestrian pathway; j) Paving material, texture, or pattern differentiated from the pedestrian pathway.

Elevation: Buildings shall have a finished floor between two and four feet above the nearest public sidewalk elevation. On sloping sites, up to 25 percent of units may have finished floors up to 6 feet above the nearest sidewalk.

Paths: Pedestrian pathways to all primary entrances and common areas shall have a minimum clearance of 3 feet in width, including to lobbies, open space, parking, and refuse collection areas.

Where located parallel to a driveway, a change of material or pattern shall distinguish pedestrian pathways from vehicular travel lanes.

Walls and fences: Freestanding walls, fences, and raised planters taller than 30 inches shall be set back a minimum of 18 inches from the property line, separated by planted area.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 50 Primary and Secondary Frontages: Ground floor (“podium”) parking for all projects on parcels with primary or secondary frontages of:
a) 100 feet or greater: shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses with a minimum depth of 15 feet, except for vehicle/pedestrian access areas.
b) less than 100 feet: all ground floor parking adjacent to a primary or secondary frontage and not buffered by non-parking uses shall be screened with a landscape buffer at least 5 feet in depth.

Plant materials shall be spaced to provide consistent screening for length of parking façade and reach a height of 75% of the height of the parking façade, within two years of planting.

Stoops and patios: The side of a patio or stoop (when parallel to a sidewalk) taller than 30 inches shall be set back a minimum of 18 inches from the property line, separated by planted area.

Façades
Considerations
• Architectural elements can be difficult to standardize – especially when they must account for different architectural styles – and the standards here are meant to be flexible to allow architects creative license for various kinds of façade detailing. • Transparency is important – though residential units require less than commercial uses. Solar heat gain in the summer can also be a reason to limit the transparency required, though that can be partially mitigated by appropriate shading.
• Allowing balconies to project a certain amount from the building façade – but only counting them towards the Open Space requirements with a larger dimension (see following section) – means they will need to be inset, adding another level of plane variation to the building façade. • Lighting is important for safety in large projects, but is also a common complaint among neighbors of new development. These standards are designed to reduce or eliminate light trespass. • General material standards are provided to prevent incongruent building façades with excessive changes in materials. The City may opt to include specific materials and/or colors standards based on the existing character of the street.
• In some townhome projects, particularly those on narrow lots, developers often build “side-loaded” townhomes in which the units are oriented parallel to the street, facing the driveway, so that the front of development appears to be the side of a unit. This typology has implications for the character of the neighborhood as the buildings don’t always appear to “address” the street.

Objective standards can help to mitigate this effect.

Intent
To address the incorporation of architectural elements and features for attractive articulation, creating welldesigned and coherent building façades with sufficient detail, relief and/or variation.

Standards
Transparency: Street-facing façades shall incorporate glazing for at least 20 percent of the overall façade, including at least 15 percent of the ground level.

Windows: Windows shall be recessed at least 2 inches from the face of the façade.

Windows shall have a visible transmittance (VT) of 0.5 or higher. Mirrored, tinted or highly reflective glazing is prohibited.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 51 Vinyl windows are prohibited.

Materials: A minimum of two materials shall be used on any building façade, in addition to glazing, railings, and trim, and shall correspond to variations in building plane.

A primary material shall cover at least 40 percent of any building façade, excluding windows.

Color: No more than four colors shall be applied to the building façade (one primary color and up to three trim colors), excluding art (e.g. a mural).

Balconies: Balconies shall project a maximum of 4 feet from the building façade and shall not be located within 6 feet of any interior property line.

Side-loaded townhomes shall incorporate at least one street-facing balcony.

Lighting: All structures, entrances, parking areas, common open spaces, and pedestrian pathways shall be lit from dusk to dawn.

Lighting shall be located to illuminate only the intended area, and a minimum of 90 percent of lighting shall be directed downward.

Lighting shall not extend beyond an interior property line, and light sources shall not be visible from adjacent properties.

Screening: Rooftop equipment, excluding solar photovoltaic, shall be screened from public view.

Fences and walls: Barbed wire, chain-link, and razor wire are prohibited.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 52 Open Space
Considerations
• Minimum area recommendations are based on the size of the project. • Some cities have moved from a per unit requirement to one based on gross floor area (Los Angeles) or per bedroom (Pasadena) in order to better correlate the amount of open space to the size of the building and the expected number of residents.
• Basing the residential open space requirement on gross floor area is the simplest calculation for staff, yet the amount of floor area can change throughout the design process, making it harder for developers who don’t provide beyond the minimum.

Intent
To provide a variety of open spaces that contribute enhanced livability by providing residents access to light and air, and tie open space requirements to the size of buildings and number of residents.

Standards
Site Landscaping
At least 15 percent of the overall site shall be landscaped. • Landscaping provided to meet other requirements related to surface parking, setbacks and common open space may contribute to achieving this total requirement.

Minimum Area
Minimum Open Space areas shall comply with the applicable design standards depending on type of open space. Areas used for parking, loading, or storage shall not be counted towards minimum Open Space. ● Residential Open Space: Projects shall provide a minimum of 15 percent of the GFA as Private Open Space and 5 percent of the GFA as Common Open Space.

Private Open Space
Access: Private Open Space shall abut and have direct access to the associated tenant space.

Dimensions: Private Open Space shall have a minimum area of 40 square feet and a minimum dimension of 5 feet in each direction.

Distribution: Private Open Space shall be outdoors and may be located within a required setback or stepback.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 53 Common Open Space
Access: Common Open Space shall be available to all tenants of the building at no cost.

Types: Common Open Space shall be provided by at least one of the following and designed to comply with the associated standards:
a) Backyard or courtyard on the ground floor;
Dimensions: Common Open Space shall have a minimum area of 360 square feet and a minimum dimension of 15 feet in each direction.

Distribution: Common Open Space shall be outdoors, and a minimum of 80 percent of Common Open Space shall be open to the sky.

Landscaping: A minimum of 15 percent of Common Open Space shall be planted area with a minimum dimension of 30 inches in each direction, with a soil depth of at least 18 inches.

Water features: A maximum of 10 percent of Common Open Space shall be decorative water features, such as fountains or reflecting pools.
b) Roof deck, terrace, or similar on upper floors;
Dimensions: Common Open Space shall have a minimum area of 400 square feet and a minimum dimension of 15 feet in each direction.

Distribution: Common Open Space shall be outdoors, and a minimum of 80 percent of Common Open Space shall be open to the sky.

Landscaping: A minimum of 15 percent of Common Open Space shall be planted area with a minimum dimension of 30 inches in each direction, with a soil depth of at least 18 inches.

Hardscape: A maximum of 50 percent of Common Open Space may be paved in standard concrete, with the remainder using enhanced paving such as brick, natural stone, unit concrete pavers, textured/colored concrete, or similar.

Water features: A maximum of 10 percent of Common Open Space shall be decorative water features, such as fountains or reflecting pools.
c) Multi-use driveway.

Paving. The entire surface of the driveway shall be comprised of permeable pavers.

Landscaped buffer. The driveway shall be lined by a minimum 18-inch wide planted area, except at garage entries and pedestrian pathways. If the landscaped buffer is adjacent to a wall, it shall include shrubs or vines of at least 24 inches in height.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 54 Parking
Considerations
• According to recent state law, no parking is required for housing within a half-mile radius of highquality public transit stops. Regardless, it is expected that most new projects will include at least some parking.
• Curb cuts can create conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, as well as vehicles and other vehicles. In general, corridors should maintain building frontages while vehicular access is located on side streets.

Intent
To reduce the visual impacts of parking and the potential for conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Standards
Vehicle Access
Driveways: A maximum of one two-way driveway shall be permitted on sites with less than 200 feet of primary street frontage. A maximum of two two-lane driveways shall be permitted on sites with 200 feet or more of primary street frontage.

At least one driveway shall be located on a secondary street or alley, where available.

Driveways and associated curb-cuts shall have a maximum width of 26 feet.

The minimum distance between driveways on the same lot shall be 50 feet.

Controlled entrances to parking (e.g. gates) shall be located at least 20 feet from the property line to allow for a queueing vehicle.

Surface Parking
Setbacks: Parking shall be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the primary frontage, 10 feet from any secondary frontage, and 5 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses or a landscaped setback adjacent to the property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Landscaped setbacks shall include hedges or shrubs with a minimum height of 3 feet at the time of planting that form a continuous visual screen to block vehicle headlights.

Landscaping: A minimum of 5 percent of the parking area shall be landscaped and permeable, in addition to any landscaped setbacks. This area shall be distributed throughout the parking area.

Trees: A minimum of one shade tree (a 24-inch box tree) for every 4 vehicle parking spaces shall be planted and evenly distributed throughout the parking area.

SCAG REAP: Objective Development Standards Bundle (Los Angeles County) Prepared for the City of Santa Fe Springs. June 2023 55 Structured Parking
Setbacks: Structured parking (including underground) shall be set back a minimum of 5 feet from any adjacent Residential zoning district.

Above ground parking shall be buffered by permitted non-parking uses with a minimum depth of 35 feet adjacent to the street property line, except for vehicle/pedestrian access.

Semi-subterranean parking shall not extend beyond the building façade and may not project higher than four feet above sidewalk elevation.

Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking shall be provided consistent with the standards referenced within CalGreen Code section 5.106.4.1. In addition, the following standards shall apply:

Horizontal storage: Each horizontal bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of two feet in width and six feet in length, with a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

Vertical storage: Each vertical or wall-mounted bicycle space shall be designed to maintain a minimum of three feet six inches in length, with three feet between racks and a minimum of seven feet of vertical clearance.

NEW BUSINESS
Little Lake School District Pioneer Blvd. Frontage Road Improvement – Approval of Cost Sharing Memorandum of Understanding

BACKGROUND
The Little Lake School District (District) approached the City of Santa Fe Springs (City) on June 7, 2023, about reviewing the condition of the Pioneer Blvd frontage road adjacent to the aforementioned District office at 10515 Pioneer Blvd. The Public Works Engineering Department met with the District to evaluate the condition of the service road, and determined that the frontage road needs pavement rehabilitation.

To expedite the construction and assist with the funding of rehabilitating the frontage road, the City proposed to split the cost of the repair. The District and City now desire to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreement for pulverizing existing asphalt and base, adjusting manholes, and paving the frontage road (Project).

The District will be the lead agency for the Project, procuring all materials, equipment, and supplies, and provide supervision and labor for the Project. The District shall be responsible for the managing, supervising, and overseeing the design and repair of the Project. The District will comply with all legal requirements associated with the construction of the Project. As the lead agency, the District will be responsible for payment of amounts due to the contractor and other parties under contract with the District for purposes of the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT
The District and City agree that the District shall be solely responsible for using payments to all parties under contract with the District for the Project. The total project cost is $123,050.00, noted in Attachment No. 1, includes pulverizing existing base and asphalt, adjusting any utility lids, and paving 3 inches of Asphalt Concrete with FortaFi fiber. The District and the City propose to split the costs of the Project, therefore the City agrees to reimburse the District an amount not-to-exceed $61,525.00 for the costs incurred to complete the Project. The Not-to-Exceed Amount represents the maximum amount payable by the City under this MOU and shall not be exceeded except with written authorization from the City.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve Memorandum of Understanding with Little Lake School District; • Authorize the Mayor to execute Memorandum of Understanding; • Approve adding the Pioneer Blvd Frontage Road Improvement 2023 Project to the Capital Improvement Plan; and
• Appropriate $61,525.00 from the Utility Users Tax (UUT) Capital Improvements Fund to the Pioneer Blvd Frontage Road Improvement Project.

PRESENTATION
Recognition of the 2023 Beautification Award Recipients

BACKGROUND
Each year, the City gives Beautification Awards to business and home owners who go above and beyond to keep their properties looking beautiful. This year, the Historical & Community Preservation Advisory Committee organized, judged and selected the award winners. Judging for residences took place on Monday, June 12th and Thursday, June 15th for businesses. The properties were judged on their landscaping, curb appeal and other grading criteria. In order to recognize a variety of properties, winners from the past five years were not eligible.

The Beautification Awards Program shows visitors and neighbors that the City of Santa Fe Springs recognizes the importance and value of keeping our City beautiful.

This year, the Committee selected 10 businesses and 10 residences as having met exceptionally high standards to receive this prestigious award. Each winner will receive a commemorative plaque displaying a photograph of their property and a yard sign indicating that their house or business is among the most visually appealing and aesthetically maintained properties in the City of Santa Fe Springs.

The Mayor may call upon Deborah Raia, Library Services Manager, to assist with the presentation.

Report Submitted By: Dino Torres, Director of Police Services July 14, 2023 City of Santa Fe Springs

PRESENTATION
Every 15 Minutes Program – St. Paul High School (Police Services) On May 24th and 25th, 2023, the Department of Police Services, Family and Youth Intervention Team with the assistance of SFS Fire-Rescue, Whittier Police Department, California Highway Patrol and several local agencies, participated in the “Every 15 Minutes” Program.

The two-day program focuses on challenging high school juniors and seniors to think about drinking and driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when it comes to alcohol consumption.

This meaningful program brought together a broad coalition of external agencies, groups, and City Departments for the common goal of reducing alcohol-related traffic fatalities among youth. The California Highway Patrol and St. Paul High School have both remained strong supporters and active program participants for over a decade.

Their active involvement, funding, and participation allow the “Every 15 Minutes” to successfully reach the youth in our community, and contribute to the prevention of tragic situations involving alcohol and unsafe driving in the future.

Tom Hatch
Interim City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
• The Mayor may wish to call upon Family and Youth Intervention Program Supervisor, Rick Brown, to discuss the “Every 15 Minutes” Program, show a short video of the program and recognize supporting agencies.
