CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Dino Torres, Director of Police Services
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE APPROVAL OF ALCOHOL SALES CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CASE NO. 86 AND ADOPTION OF
RESOLUTION NO. 9889 – AN ALCOHOL SALES CONDITIONAL USE

PERMIT REQUEST TO ALLOW THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OF THE STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION OF AN ALCOHOLIC

BEVERAGE USE
DATE: December 5, 2023
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Open the Public Hearing and receive the written and oral report and any comments from the public regarding Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit (ASCUP) Case No. 86, and thereafter, close the Public Hearing; and
2) Find that the applicant’s ASCUP request meets the criteria set forth in §§155.628 and 155.716 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, for the granting of a Conditional Use Permit; and
3) Approve Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit Case No. 86, subject to the conditions of approval as contained within Resolution No. 9889; and 4) Adopt Resolution No. 9889, which incorporates the City Council’s findings and actions regarding this matter.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The business ABS Wholesale moved into the 18,435 square foot warehouse building at 13701 Excelsior Drive in February 2023. ABS Wholesale is a distributor of smoking accessories (butane, lighters, smoking paper, etc.) which are distributed to several minimarts and liquor stores, including Seven Eleven. Majority of the distribution is done in CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023 Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit Case No. 86

Page 2 of 18 ends

bulk quantities. However, some local retailers have the option to enter the establishment and purchase merchandise as a wholesale acquisition with proof of a wholesale license.

Considering that majority of their customers includes mini-marts, liquor stores and other retail establishments where the sale of alcoholic beverages are licensed, the Applicant is proposing to provide those customers with a selection of imported beer and wine. This activity will result in the storage of alcoholic beverages at the location.

In accordance with Section 155.628, the Applicant is requesting approval of Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit Case No. 86 to allow the operation and maintenance of an alcoholic beverage storage and distribution use. Concurrent with this request, the applicant is also in the preliminary application review process for a Type 9 (Beer and Wine Importer) and a Type 17 (Beer and Wine Wholesaler) from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”).

Staff does not foresee that the listed ABC Licenses will be denied to the Applicant.

Nevertheless, should ASCUP Case No. 86 be approved and the ABC license applications be denied, the Applicant will have up to one-year to make alternative arrangements to satisfy ABC’s requirements and obtain the necessary licenses, otherwise this Permit will become null and void pursuant to Section 155.811 of the City Code.

On November 13, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review and consider ASCUP Case No. 86. After evaluating the written report (Attachment C) and Staff’s oral report, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 251- 2023 (Attachment D) which contains a recommendation to the City Council to approve ASCUP Case No. 86 subject to the conditions contained in Resolution No. 9889 (Attachment E).

ENVIRONMENTAL
The Planning Commission has confirmed that this request is a categorically-exempt project pursuant to Section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); consequently, no other environmental documents are required by law. Additionally, the project site is not listed on the Hazardous Waste and Substance Site List (also known as the Cortese List) and is therefore not subject to the requirements set forth in Government Code Section 65962.5.

LEGAL NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Legal notice of the Public Hearing for the proposed Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit was sent by first class mail to all property owners whose names and addresses appear on the latest County Assessor's Roll within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the subject property. The legal notice was also posted in Santa Fe Springs City Hall, the City Library and Town Center on November 21, 2023, as required by the State Zoning and Development Laws and by the City’s Zoning Regulations. A Notice was also published in the Whittier Daily Newspaper on November 21, 2023 (Exhibit A). Staff will report any inquiries received for this matter at the time of the Council’s meeting.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023 Alcohol Sales Conditional Use Permit Case No. 86

Page 3 of 18 ends

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Staff finds that the proposed alcohol beverage activities, if approved, will not be detrimental to persons or property in the immediate vicinity and will not adversely affect the City in general. Moreover, the proposed use is consistent with the warehouse and office activities already present in the general area. Staff believes that the business activities along with the alcohol storage activities will have minimal to no impacts to the general area if the business operates in compliance with the City’s Municipal Codes, Conditions of Approval, and with the Regulations imposed by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

BY: Lana Dich, Director of Finance & Administrative Services SUBJECT: MONTHLY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF DEBT INSTRUMENTS

ISSUED THROUGH THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS PUBLIC

FINANCING AUTHORITY (PFA)
DATE: December 5, 2023
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Receive and file the report.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA) is a City entity that has periodically issued debt for the benefit of the Santa Fe Springs community. The following is a brief status report on the debt instruments currently outstanding that were issued through the PFA.

Consolidated Redevelopment Project 2006-A Tax Allocation Bonds Financing proceeds available for appropriation at 11/30/2023 None Outstanding principal at 11/30/2023 $35,908,028
Bond Repayment
The former Community Development Commission (CDC) issued a number of tax allocation bonds before it was dissolved by State law effective February 1, 2012 which are administered by the City acting as Successor Agency under the oversight of the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023 Monthly Report on the Status of Debt Instruments Issued through the City of Santa Fe Springs Public Financing Authority (PFA)

appointed Oversight Board. The Successor Agency no longer receives tax increment.

Instead, distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) are received based on approved obligations. It is anticipated that sufficient allocations from the RPTTF will continue to be made to the Successor Agency to meet ongoing debt service obligations.

Unspent Bond Proceeds
Under an approved Bond Expenditure Agreement, unspent bond proceeds of the former CDC in the amount of approximately $19 million were transferred to the City in July 2014.

The funds are to be spent in accordance with the original bond documents. The unspent proceeds continue to be a source of funding within the City’s capital improvement program (CIP).
2016 Bond Refunding
In July 2016, the Successor Agency issued its 2016 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off several bond issuances of the former CDC. The bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority and included the 2001 Series A, 2002 Series A, 2003 Series A, the current interest portion of the 2006 Series A, and 2006 Series B bond issuances.
2017 Bond Refunding
In December 2017, the Successor Agency issued its 2017 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds, which paid off the 2007 Tax Allocation Bonds of the former CDC. The 2007 Bonds were originally issued through the Public Financing Authority.

ANALYSIS
The report is presented for informational purposes only.

ENVIRONMENTAL
N/A

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
The Successor Agency will continue to request sufficient distributions from the RPTTF to make required bond payments through maturity on September 1, 2028.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023 Status Update of Water-Related Capital Improvement Projects PAGE 2 OF 3

DISCUSSION
Water Utility SCADA Programming and Maintenance Update
The Water Utility’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software and system components are vital in operating and monitoring the drinking water system pressure, imported water connections, and the City’s five underpass pump stations.

SCADA allows staff to remotely monitor and make changes to specific system parameters.

The City has received one proposal to bring in a qualified firm to assist the Water Utility Authority in meeting its normal SCADA operational and maintenance needs. The single proposal received has been rejected; staff will modify the RFQ before re-advertising it to ensure the City is able to select a firm that is not only well qualified, but will also be able to meet the City’s current and future needs. A firm within the Southern California region will be sought to ensure minimal downtime of any of the City’s critical infrastructure.

Water Well No. 2 Status Update
On July 20, 2021, the City Council approved awarding the contract to General Pump Company Inc. to assess Water Well No. 2. The contractor completed the initial assessment and has submitted to the City their final report, which confirmed one contaminant, and provided two scenarios for treatment. As part of the Water Utilities seven-year Capital Improvement Program to bring City-owned water wells into service, this project moves the City closer to becoming less dependent on imported water supplies.

The City has received one proposal for the engineering design of a temporary water treatment system for Water Well No. 2; the contract for Water Well No. 2 Treatment Engineering and Design was awarded to Hoch Consulting of Oceanside, California.

Water Well No. 12 Status Update
Drilled and constructed in August of 2012, the water produced by Water Well No. 12 has not met State and Federal drinking water standards due to various contaminants. The well has been evaluated several times over the last several years with no decision to implement treatment. With new and emerging contaminants of concern detected in water wells throughout the region, it is imperative to fully assess the current water quality produced by Water Well No. 12 to ensure a treatment system is designed to meet all Federal and State water quality requirements.

The City has received one proposal for the assessment of Water Well No. 12 and preparation of technical specifications to aid in the design of a treatment system; the contract for the Water Well No. 12 Assessment was awarded to Best Environmental Subsurface Sampling Technologies (BESST) Inc. of San Rafael, California.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023

Page 2 of 4 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the proposed resolution would not result in any adverse fiscal impact on the General Funds. The eventual transfer of the properties will result in them being placed on the tax roll and as a result, the City will receive property tax.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

At the Community Development Commission meeting of May 11, 1995, the Commission entered into a Disposition (Purchase) and Development Agreement, by and between the Community Development Commission (CDC) of the City of Santa Fe Springs and Schork Family Partnership (“SCHORK”). The purpose of the Agreement was to implement the Redevelopment Plan for the Consolidated Redevelopment Project by facilitating the development of a commercial facility (El Monte RV) on property located at 10860 Firestone Boulevard.

Excerpts from the Agreement include the following:

1. Commission shall lease· to SCHORK and SCHORK shall lease from the Commission the Real Property (Parcel 1; 130' x 337.08', 43820 SF and Parcel 2; 30' x 82', 2,460 SF) for $1/year up to a maximum of five (5) years (the "Lease Period").

2. During said Lease Period, SCHORK shall accrue a credit toward the Purchase Price of the property (the "Purchase Credit") on an accrual basis. Said Purchase Credit shall accrue at a rate equal to the amount of sales tax received by the City of Santa Fe Springs from the operations conducted on the Real Property and adjacent property. The combined properties shall be known as the "El Monte RV Center Property".

3. If, during or by the end of the Lease Period, City has received $440,000 in sales tax from the operation of El Monte RV Center Property, then the Commission shall transfer the Real Property to SCHORK. If, by the end of the Lease Period, City has not received said $440,000, SCHORK shall purchase the Real Property from the Commission by paying the Commission the difference between $440,000 and the amount of sales tax which the City has received.

4. Transfer of the Real Property shall be through an escrow with Fortune Escrow, 211 Foothill Boulevard, Glendora, CA. 91741 ("Escrow Holder"), or a mutually acceptable Escrow Holder. Commission and SCHORK shall each pay one-half of the Standard Escrow fees.

5. Conveyance shall be by Grant Deed, free of encumbrances, except those accepted by SCHORK.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023

Page 3 of 4 ends

6. Ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Lease Period or upon full credit of the Purchase Price, an escrow to transfer the Real Property shall be opened ("Escrow"). Escrow Holder shall proceed to order a preliminary title report and a survey of the Real Property from Chicago Title Company (the ''Title Company") or a mutually acceptable Title Company.

For almost 28 years, no actions by either the CDC or SCHORK occurred. Meanwhile, pursuant to Assembly Bill x1 26 (AB 26) enacted on June 28, 2011, all redevelopment agencies were dissolved as of February 1, 2012. The City of Santa Fe Springs elected to serve as Successor Agency (“SA”) to the former CDC. On June 27, 2012, Assembly Bill (AB) 1484 was introduced by the California State Legislature and signed into law. One of the key components of AB 1484 was the requirement that that all Successor Agencies prepare a Long Range Property Management Plan (LRPMP) that governs the disposition and use of former non-housing redevelopment agency properties. The SA did prepare a LRPMP that was approved by DOF in 2015. However, while these properties were included in in the LRPMP, the DDA was not included as an existing obligation attached to the properties.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

There are no potential environmental impacts associated with this action.

ANALYSIS:

The purpose of the 1995 Agreement was to facilitate the development of a commercial facility. Today, that facility is El Monte RV. The City’s Finance department has confirmed that the CDC received the initial $440,000 in sales tax and continues to receive sales tax from the operation of the El Monte RV Center Property.

With changes in personnel throughout the years and not having a more centralized location/department for all agreements, staff was not aware of the 1995 Agreement. Staff became aware when they were contacted by SCHORK who provided a copy of the agreement. The SA intends to honor the Agreement and transfer the property to SCHORK, but for the SA to do so, the SA first has to obtain approval from the Successor Agency Board. After said approval, the SA also has to go before the County Oversight Board for final approval.

SUMMARY:

RE: LETTER OF SUPPORT - LYNWOOD BHCIP PROJECT
Dear Mr. Gabriel Linares
I am writing this letter in strong support of the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (1.A. CADA) Lynwood Project on 3599 Norton Avenue. As the Director of Planning and Community Development for Santa Fe Springs, I have had the opportunity to work with L.A. CADA for 10 of their 50 years, within our community as they provided needed services to our underserved population.

L.A. CADA currently operates two substance use disorder (SUD) residential treatment facilities, two SUD outpatient treatment facilities, a crisis mental health residential treatment facility, and a custody re-entry program, all within the city of Santa Fe Springs.

The programs have had a significant positive impact on our community. L.A. CADA also houses multiple programs within a recovery campus which connects to a childcare and day care program "Plaza De La Raza". To my knowledge, no issues or complaints have arisen from the program's close proximity to the children in their 10+ years as neighbors.

I urge you to give your full support to this project and consider the many ways it will benefit your community as certainly as it has benefitted our community. lf you need any additional information from my department to facilitate the successful implementation of the Lynwood Project, please do not hesitate to contact me.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Wayne M. Morrell, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 9890, A REPLACEMENT RESOLUTION FOR RESOLUTION 9754, SPECIFICALLY REMOVING THE CITY
MANAGER’S NAME, BUT RETAINING THE TITLE OF CITY MANAGER, WITH ALL OTHER ESSENTIAL PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION NO.
9754 REMAINING IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT
DATE: December 5, 2023
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 9890, replacing Resolution No. 9754, specifically removing the prior City Manager’s name, but retaining the title of City Manager with all other provisions remaining the same as in Resolution No. 9754.

2. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the proposed replacement resolution does not have any fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

At the City Council meeting of January 18, 2022, the City adopted Resolution No. 9754:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Santa Fe Springs Authorizing Joint Application to and Participation in the Homekey Program with TWC Housing LLC for the Lakeland/Laurel Affordable Housing Project. The State of California through the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has a grant-funding program called Project Homekey. These funds are targeted for projects that provide services and housing for those experiencing homeless, which is exactly the population CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF DECEMBER 5, 2023

ITEM STATUS:

DENIED:

TABLED:

DIRECTION GIVEN:

TWC serves. The Homekey program required a City or County or other public entity to be the applicant, allowed a non-profit to be a co-applicant. The City agreed to sponsor the application with TWC. TWC would prepare the application and would administer the grant if awarded, so there would be no burden on City staff if the grant was successful. The City was already committed to some oversight of the Project as part of the City-TWC, LLC Grant funding agreement. HCD required a formal resolution of the City Council approving the Homekey Grant Fund application, and that was the action the City Council took at the January 18, 2022, City Council meeting via Resolution No. 9754. Subsequently, on September 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9883, to add TWC Housing LLC to the award as a co-applicant pursuant to HCD requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

There is no potential environmental impacts associated with this action.

ANALYSIS:

All grants including Homekey, require recipients to submit performance and progress reports. TWC was recently informed by Homekey that because the prior City Manager is named in Resolution No. 9754, none of their reports can be certified and they are technically in default. Homekey’s solution is for the City to issue an updated resolution, removing the prior City Manager’s name, but retaining the authority given to the City Manager or designee. Doing so would allow for future changes, with the authorized City representative being the City Manager or designee, instead of a specifically named City Manager. Proposed Resolution No. 9890 would satisfy this requirement.

SUMMARY:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 9890, which replaces and updates Resolution No. 9754 by removing the name of the prior City Manager.
