Upon such suspension, Consultant will be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by Consultant to the reasonable satisfaction of City up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of City will operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict City’s ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder will be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 6 II. Introduction
The City has identified the need to develop a comprehensive Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Master Plan. This plan will take a system-wide approach to evaluating existing recreation services, parks, and facilities and identifying potential open space and facilities demands. The goal is to develop clear and actionable goals, policies, and standards that will meet the community's needs and establish priorities for the next twenty (20) years.

To achieve this, the City seeks services from a qualified consultant with proven expertise in recreation facility planning, community outreach, recreation program assessment, financial analysis, and organizational analysis. The selected consultant must demonstrate the experience and professionalism required to perform a comprehensive assessment.

This assessment will culminate in a concise, user-friendly Master Plan that will provide a strategic framework for decision-makers. This plan will guide the planning, programming, operation, maintenance, acquisition of land, and development or redevelopment of the City's parks, recreation areas, open spaces, trails, and facilities in the future.

The goals developed should align with the City’s health and wellness initiatives, the California State Parks Make Life Better Campaign, the California Action Plan, the Commission for Accreditation of Parks and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) standards and reflect the unique nature of the City of Santa Fe Springs.

The Master Plan should also support equity of user access and connectivity and create a positive sense of place for all users. It should improve the overall condition of the parks, facilities, and services, intending to encourage greater use by community members.

The selected Firm will work closely with City staff to prepare the Master Plan and will be required to create a document to distribute to the public. The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Master Plan will become an element of the City's general master plan and, as such, will require approval and adoption by the City Council.

The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

Gustavo Hernandez, Director of Parks and Recreation
City of Santa Fe Springs
11740 Telegraph Road
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670
Dear Mr. Hernandez and Members of the Selection Committee, KTUA is excited to submit our proposal for this transformative project, which has the potential to shape the City’s park system for years to come. A modern master plan must go beyond traditional amenities like ballfields and playgrounds. To truly meet the needs of the community, it must incorporate innovative, sustainable solutions that address both environmental concerns and the changing needs of park users.

KTUA’s park improvement recommendations include strategies for managing stormwater runoff, such as diversion and filtration systems, along with other eco-friendly approaches where applicable. We also recognize the importance of adapting public spaces to address climate challenges, such as using urban forestry to reduce heat, cold, or wind. Our focus on safety will include applying Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to create safer park environments.

In today’s funding environment, data-driven solutions are essential. Our planning process uses GIS tools, park service assessments, pressure modeling, demographic analysis, and travelshed development to ensure parks are accessible, especially for those who use non-motorized transportation. This approach ensures our plans are equitable, practical, and supported by the community. Our plans are tailored to each neighborhood, balancing local needs with national benchmarks for park amenities. We aim to close gaps in park distribution, offering recreational opportunities for all ages and increasing park acreage to meet community standards. Our community engagement strategies ensure that all voices are heard, helping us create meaningful, positive recreational experiences for residents.

With over 50 years of experience, KTUA has deep knowledge of park and recreation planning in the region.

Our team of 30 professionals has contributed to projects such as the Bellflower Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Montebello’s Parks Master Plan, Pico Rivera’s Urban Greening Plan, Whittier’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, and active transportation plans for Artesia and Pioneer Boulevard. We are currently finalizing Bellflower’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, further demonstrating our commitment to thoughtful park planning in the Gateway Cities region.

KTUA is uniquely qualified to guide the City through this important planning process, ensuring a vibrant, accessible, and sustainable park system that reflects the community’s needs and aspirations. I will serve as the Principal-In-Charge and Alex Samarin, who grew up in nearby Hacienda Heights, will serve as the Project Manager with Nicole Rogge serving as Deputy Project Manager. Both are either engaged in or have recently completed Parks Master Plans for the cities of Bellflower, Desert Hot Springs, Montclair, La Mesa, Whittier and Moreno Valley. Alex also has experience in active transportation planning and will provide a holistic planning focus for this project. Jacob Leon will provide outreach support and as a bilingual team member and fluent in Spanish, Jacob specializes in identifying strategies and tools to get the most out of the engagement process.

Nicole Rogge will be a key team member to analyze, oversee and assist with all major tasks on the project.

PROS Consulting services include an analysis of programs and services, maintenance and operations evaluation, and financial strategy plan and long-time partner RRC will provide the statistically valid survey services.

We are fully committed to dedicating our time, expertise, and resources to this project. Our core team and consultants will be available throughout the entire planning process, and we have outlined a detailed schedule to ensure we meet the City’s needs. Our proposal highlights the anticipated collaboration with City staff, our inclusive approach to community outreach, and a clear workflow for developing the master plan. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our approach and qualifications in more detail.

Respectfully submitted,
Joe Punsalan, Principal

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS | PARKS, RECREATION, & COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN | 4 B | Project Understanding & Approach
Executive Summary
The City of Santa Fe Springs needs a plan that
analyzes community and capital needs, provides
financial solutions, identifies alternative funding and partnership opportunities, and recommends investment strategies. The KTUA team provides the resources and expertise to meet these needs. We will work together to develop comprehensive community
engagement strategies, identify inequities in park
and programming resources, and develop sound and
implementable recommendations. We will do this by
creating a collaborative working relationship with City staff, stakeholders, and residents. The following are
some of our key approaches to successfully completing this project.

Values and Vision – The City of Santa Fe Springs’s
values reflect the community, leadership, and staff.

These values direct the City’s vision for the future and help determine the community conditions that represent priorities of change. From visiting your city in preparation for this proposal, Santa Fe Springs values
investment in parks. KTUA brings a desire to become
familiar with your residents and parks to bring about
positive changes to an already great city park system.

KTUA is pleased to highlight the array of exceptional
park amenities in your city, which contribute significantly to the vibrancy and quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The variety of recreational facilities, ranging from baseball fields and racquetball courts
to playgrounds, horseshoe pits, and well-maintained
restrooms, demonstrates a commitment to providing
diverse and accessible outdoor spaces for all ages
and interests.

Noteworthy during KTUA’s initial site visit was the impressive condition of the playgrounds at Lake Center Park, Little Lake Park, and Longworth Parkette, which
stand out as safe, inviting spaces for children and
families. The clean, well-maintained restrooms, particularly at Heritage Park, underscore the city’s attention to the comfort and convenience of park visitors, fostering a positive experience for all.

The presence of mature trees throughout the park,
especially at Little Lake Park and Los Nietos Park,
adds an invaluable layer of natural beauty and shade,
enhancing the recreational experience during warm
weather. These trees also offer a calming atmosphere, creating inviting spaces for relaxation and socializing. This thoughtful integration of nature into the parks provides both functional shade and a sense
of tranquility that is especially appreciated during
hotter months.

One of the standout features observed was the
expansive group picnic areas, particularly at Santa
Fe Springs Park and Los Nietos Park. These large,
well-designed spaces cater to family gatherings,
social events, and community functions, supporting
the city’s commitment to fostering a sense of connection among residents. At Los Nietos Park, the picnic tables were in active use, with families enjoying meals together demonstrating the park’s central role in
community life.

Additionally, the rare and unique wading pools at several parks provide an exciting and refreshing amenity for families with young children, setting your parks
apart from many others in Southern California. These
features not only enhance the recreational opportunities available but also create a family-friendly environment that promotes outdoor activity and community engagement. What also felt unique to the City were
the handmade programming banners at the various
parks. They were more eye-catching than manufactured banners and were a nice local touch.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS | PARKS, RECREATION, & COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN | 5 B | Project Understanding & Approach
KTUA recognizes the tremendous potential for enhancing these already vibrant spaces and is eager to collaborate on projects that further elevate the
city’s parks, integrating active transportation and
mobility planning to ensure even greater accessibility
and community connection. By building upon these
existing strengths, KTUA will help create a network of
parks that are not only beautiful but also more connected and accessible to all.

Strong and Comprehensive Public Involvement –
Inclusive and engaging communication strategies
are needed to establish detailed issue identification,
determine the value of public services, and provide a
vision for the future that the community supports. This process should form the basis for measuring quantitative and qualitative performance for fiscal operating stewardship, managing taxpayer investments, establishing mandatory fees and charges, and funding capital development. The City has already laid out
several meetings to involve the City Council, various
commissions, and stakeholders which will be key to a
successful and supported project.

Focus groups will also be important to gain valuable
insight from a users’ perspective. These meetings
can be held as virtual meetings to garner as much
participation as possible and can also help advertise
for the Plan workshops. KTUA can also hold these
focus group meetings in-person and possibly on the
same day as workshops or other meetings to provide
efficiency on staff time while visiting the city. These are just a few ideas that KTUA will work with the City
to refine as part of the community engagement plan.

Focus on Equity Across the City while Recognizing
Context and Needs of Individual Neighborhoods
With quantitative analysis, it is easier to find consensus on the definition of equity. However, the project should not lose sight of individual differences between neighborhoods and the historic way certain newer developer-built communities paid for their current assets. It must also recognize the role of equivalents in helping to reach these equity goals.

Upon initial assessment of the City’s underserved
communities using CalEnviroScreen, KTUA identified
the area north of Imperial Highway as a disadvantaged region, with neighborhoods north of Telegraph Road ranking in the highest percentile, over 90% disadvantaged. This information underscores the critical need for equitable improvements in these communities. The parks in these areas, however, offer a strong foundation from which to build, with well-maintained
grassy areas, inviting playgrounds, and thoughtful
seating amenities, such as shaded gazebos and
benches, that enhance the public spaces.

While many of the playgrounds are in excellent condition, some, like those at Santa Fe Springs Park, show signs of wear. The fading equipment and the need for
repairs to the swing landings highlight an opportunity
for KTUA to help rejuvenate these spaces and ensure
they remain safe and welcoming for children and

specific needs of the most vulnerable communities.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS | PARKS, RECREATION, & COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN | 6 KTUA is committed to ensuring that any projects
recommended for these neighborhoods are driven
by principles of equity and inclusivity. Our approach
will be to engage with the communities directly and
involve them in every step of the planning process,
ensuring that each park reflects the needs and preferences of its residents. This approach will be especially vital for the residential areas of the City, where access to high-quality parks and recreational amenities is particularly important.

Through targeted community engagement strategies,
KTUA will guarantee that communication reaches all
corners of the City, including the most underserved
areas. We will work diligently to ensure that the
voices of all residents, especially those in disadvantaged communities, are heard and incorporated into our plans. By fostering these inclusive conversations,
KTUA will help create a future where every neighborhood has access to parks and amenities that are not only beautiful but also equitable and accessible to all.

B | Project Understanding & Approach
Focus on Implementation – “Make no little plans; they
have no magic to stir men’s blood…” is an inspirational term first used by Daniel Burnham in 1907 as part of
the City Beautiful movement. While keeping this vision
and inspiration in mind, our team also focuses on
“right-sizing” plans the planning and designing parks
of parks to provide on effective capital implementation and resource management. In complex urban environments, positive change created by parks is about consistent small wins that create momentum. Our
team also seizes every opportunity to be innovative
and creatively use park space along the way.

With decades of experience in delivering park and
recreation general development plans, master plans,
and construction documents, KTUA provides good insight to work with the City to make necessary adjustments and refinements to focus on the feasibility of amenity construction for future park and public facility development, maintenance, and replacement.

Listen, then Respond – Throughout the development
of the plan, team members will function as professional, unbiased facilitators to gather specific information about services, use, and preferences, as well as agency strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats. When the proposed techniques and formats
are well received, they provide the community with
the opportunity to better understand the planning
process and make a meaningful contribution, resulting in them feeling that the input session was valuable. The efforts need to focus on listening to public and staff input (as well as from elected officials) about issues, concerns, solutions, and priorities. To better
alignment agreement on the plan requires:
• Identifying, up-front, the project “givens” or
parameters
• Making the participants aware of the process
from start to finish, including where they have
opportunities to contribute and who will be
making final decisions
• Encouraging participants to hear from each other
• Identifying common ground as the plan evolves
As part of the initial site review process, KTUA Principal Joe Punsalan visited several City parks. During his visit to Santa Fe Springs Park, Joe struck up a conversation with Steve, a long-time resident who has lived in the City for over 40 years. Steve shared his personal experiences of growing up in the area, recalling how the park evolved from an untamed section of the
San Gabriel River to its current channelized form. He
Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS | PARKS, RECREATION, & COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN | 7 B | Project Understanding & Approach
fondly remembered seeing red foxes and large frogs
in the area during his childhood. However, Steve also
pointed out the challenges he notices today, including homeless individuals frequently setting up camps in the southern part of the park, as evidenced by the
trash found in that area.

Joe also spoke with a grandmother at Longworth
Parkette (also known as Prescott Park), who shared
her experiences with the parks while watching her
grandson play on the playground. As another longtime resident, she expressed satisfaction with most of the parks but noted concerns with Santa Fe Springs
Park, particularly the homeless issue and the wear
and tear on the playground equipment. She no longer
takes her grandchildren to Santa Fe Springs and now
prefers the smaller, quieter Longworth Parkette.

These conversations highlight the importance of being open, approachable, and transparent throughout the project process. At KTUA, we take pride in this
approach, listening to community members, educating them about the project, and, most importantly, listening again. This open dialogue is essential for
building trust, gaining valuable feedback, and ultimately strengthening the planning process to deliver recommendations that truly reflect the needs of the
community.

The City of Desert Hot Springs - currently a population of around 30,000 people - is identified as a high population growth area by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), with nearly a doubling of the population projected by 2045. Park acres are currently short of the City’s goal of 3 acres per 1,000 residents. Amenities within current parks, however, nearly meet the City’s needs, though the amenity level-of-service will decrease with population growth. Opportunities are plentiful for meeting and exceeding park acreage and amenity level-of-service in the City, as the City owns land that has potential for park development, and the City is well-positioned to benefit from grant funding. In addition, land conservancies own large areas of open space within city boundaries and present an opportunity to creatively develop parks for multiple uses while meeting their own conservation mission.

Focus groups with city council members identified a desire to link traditional parks with complete streets and linear parks, and to create park space that serves multiple purposes: reprieve in a harsh desert climate; hardening and mitigation against climate hazards like flooding, drought, and fire; and practical maintenance concerns to minimize cost and upkeep. These desires will be captured in the park recommendations for Desert Hot Springs.

City of Bellflower Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The City of Bellflower Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a comprehensive planning effort that will provide Bellflower staff and elected officials a tailored vision for parks, recreation facilities, and programs.

This plan was unique because KTUA conducted five neighborhood workshops in each district of the City to ensure everyone had the opportunity to provide input. Family-friendly activities were also included so parents and kids could get involved. The Plan includes an inventory of all city parks, GIS-based mapping analyses, financial guidelines, a prioritized list of recommendations, and extensive community engagement. Bellflower residents are encouraged to participate in community workshops, surveys, online maps, and neighborhood meetings. A statistically valid survey is also included to assist the team and City to make informed decisions.

TASK 1: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

1.1 Community Engagement Plan
KTUA will work with City staff, community partners,
and the project team to develop a Community
Engagement Plan (CEP) appropriate for Santa Fe
Springs. The plan will identify engagement objectives,
outreach needs, desired outcomes, key stakeholders,
target audiences, and underserved neighborhoods. It
will include a description of each stakeholder meeting, outreach event, and other activities that will occur during the planning process. All outreach products
will be presented in English and Spanish.

The CEP will include key messages, strategies,
schedules, and descriptions of outreach activities
and opportunities, with an emphasis on engagement
methods to encourage attendance at in-person workshops. The role and efficacy of online engagement tools will also be discussed, and prescribe social
media platforms and opportunities for use. Spanish
language translation and interpretation needs and
capabilities for all community engagement efforts will
be included.

A variety of engagement activities will enable a wide
range of community members to participate at varying
levels of commitment. The following strategies will be
used to achieve broad demographic and geographic
representation from community members including
participants who are typically not engaged and traditionally under-represented in planning processes:
• Translate all engagement materials into Spanish and
provide Spanish interpretation at events
• Provide a “Kids’ Station” at all in-person community
workshops and pop-up workshops to enable adults
with children to attend
• When possible, provide snacks, and/or giveaway
items, stipends, or other incentives, at in-person
community workshops
• Hold community workshops at different neighborhoods throughout the city and in spaces in which various community groups feel comfortable, such
as schools, libraries, community centers, local
restaurants, and places of worship, especially those
accessible by public transit
• Host community workshops at different times and
days of the week to accommodate varying work
and school schedules
• Provide multiple opportunities for virtual engagement, such as online surveys, comment maps, and virtual workshops
• Partner with, and if possible, compensate local nonprofits and community groups that have trust with the community
• Complement feedback activities, such as surveys
with more interactive activities, such as community gardening, mural painting, or other park/facility beautification project

1.2 Project Branding and Online Engagement
KTUA will work with the City’s communications staff to
develop a branding effort related to the project. This
will include the development of a logo and other appropriate branding for the project to make this project recognizable to the public and to also distinguish it
from other City initiatives. Consistent branding will be included on all project material such as announcements, exhibits, online material, social media, and documents.

KTUA will develop an Esri-based web page that will
serve as a project website during the planning process, accessible through a link on the City’s website.

The KTUA-built website will include the project’s
description, goals, milestones, surveys, infographics,
and public engagement opportunities. The website
will also host a GIS-based interactive map survey and
the open link version of the statistically valid survey.

The map survey will allow Santa Fe Springs residents
to provide detailed, location-specific comments related to park amenities, conditions, needs, issues, and concerns for park access. An example of what the
website could look like can be found here:
https://santa-fe-springs-parks-ktuagis.hub.arcgis.com/

1.3 Workshops and Pop-up Engagements
The project team will conduct three (3) in-person
community meetings throughout plan development.

The first workshop is proposed to be held during the
existing conditions phase to inform plan goals and
recommendations. The second workshop will present and gather feedback on initial recommendations.

The last workshop will present the recommendations,
programs, and services for final input. This sequence
of workshops are subject to change with City input.

All meetings will be led by trained facilitators with
engaging and hands-on activities to keep participants excited to attend and comfortable to share their feedback. Activities for children will be provided so that busy parents may also easily attend. Each
workshop will have a staffed “Kids’ Station’’ with one
or more guided activities, as well as passive activities to engage children of varying ages and learning styles. Children’s activities will be designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and imagination around parks
and healthy communities. Activities for children may
include, but are not limited to “Design-a-Park’’ exercise with movable amenities, “Draw Your Dream Park’’ art activity, scavenger hunt, native plant seed
ball making, and children’s books related to park and
community planning. Incentives, such as giveaways
and food, will be used to generate community interest and participation in community workshops. Giveaway items can include small items for each attendee, such as a water bottle, frisbee, or beach ball, or larger prize drawing items, such as gift cards and parks and
recreation items like a pickleball set, picnic blanket
or basket, bicycle, or scooter. At each meeting, the
project team will share stakeholder feedback from
prior outreach and details of how this feedback has
been incorporated into the plan. Each meeting will be
documented through photos and written summaries,
with presentations made available and online feedback opportunities for anyone unable to attend.

Kid’s Station park design activity at a Bellflower
pop-up workshop
Pop-ups at community-wide festivals are a fun and
interactive way to inform and capture input from
community members and visitors who may or may
not be park users or may be unable to attend public meetings due to work and family commitments.

Through pop-ups, the team will increase participation
in the Plan update and ensure community members
and visitors that the City wants to hear from them. The project team will attend four (4) pop-up workshops
to share information about the Plan, solicit input, and build the project email list to keep community members informed. Events that the team may participate in include, but not limited to, Easter Eggstravaganza, Fiestas Patrias and Fall Movies in the Park. The team will have an eye-catching booth with a variety
of educational and interactive feedback exhibits to
engage community members, as well as a fun activity
for kids, such as “Design-a-Park” or “Make-a-NativeSeed-Ball.” The booth will also have giveaway items to draw people in, such as bicycle lights, beach balls, pet waste bags, or slap bands.

1.4 Focus Group Meetings
Focus group meetings are intended to gather local
feedback from an audience with specific experience
and knowledge of Santa Fe Springs’ parks, trails, and
programs. Four (4) focus group meetings will take
place in the early stages of the planning process to
assess park conditions, understand community issues,
and discuss recommendations. The meetings may
include City staff, operators, managers, and maintenance staff; youth, older adults, civic/social organizations, and other groups. These meetings will be held in a combination of in-person and virtual meetings. It’s recommended that meetings with senior and youth
groups be held in-person. Meetings with City staff,
sports clubs, etc., will be held virtually for maximum attendance. Two (2) focus groups meetings will be held in-person and two (2) will be virtual meetings.

1.5 Statistically-valid Survey
RRC, a longtime partner of KTUA, will design and
distribute a statistically-valid survey to gain feedback.

The survey will have of two components: a statistically-valid mailed survey, and an “open link” online survey that is open to all residents in and around Santa Fe Springs. RRC will provide a list of questions for
the City to review, and will develop custom questions
to meet specific goals.

Mailed Survey – RRC will mail 2,500 survey packets to a random sample of households in Santa Fe Springs. The survey packet will include printed information on accessing the online survey in Spanish.

Open Link Survey – The second component is an
online “open link” survey that will allow any resident
who was not reached via random sampling to share
their feedback. Open link surveys typically go live
approximately two weeks after the invitation surveys
land in mailboxes. This is done to promote maximum
participation from the random sample of households.

1.6 City Staff Interviews
KTUA will conduct up to three (3) virtual City department staff meetings. With the City’s aspiration to shape the City for active lifestyles where residents
can thrive, it’s important to hear from city staff to determine department goals, policies, priorities, operations and maintenance, and staffing needs.

DELIVERABLES:
• Comprehensive community outreach strategy that
includes, at a minimum:
– Statistically-valid survey and online mapping results – Project website or webpage, which includes
periodic updates, and a chronology of the planning process – Public workshops and meeting materials
(the number or community meetings may vary
depending on need)
• Public workshop, popup event and focus group
summaries
• Interim survey results

TASK 2: EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LEVEL OF SERVICE

2.1 Demographic Trends
KTUA will complete a demographics trend analysis
that will help illustrate current and future population and potential park users. This will help evaluate
current needs and anticipate future needs. Using
American Community Survey (ACS) data (an ongoing
statistical survey conducted through the U.S. Census
Bureau), CalEnviroscreen, and other relevant local
and regional resources, data gathered can include
educational attainment, income, disability, ethnicity,
age, employment, housing characteristics, health statistics. Other population characteristics of interest can be summarized based on availability from the Census
Bureau, County, or SCAG resources.

Our preliminary demographic assessment (“Santa Fe
Springs At a Glance”) uses data from the 2022 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, which is the most current data available as of November 2022.

The assessment includes age, race and ethnicity, and
median household income.

Santa Fe Springs At a Glance
Santa Fe Springs has a population of approximately
19,219 residents and 5,700 total households. Over

54.2% of the population speaks a language other than
English at home, 45% of residents speak Spanish and
9 percent of residents speak other languages. This
helps us understand the demographic makeup for park
and outreach needs.

KTUA uses Esri Business Analyst to analyze parks
and recreation trends. Business Analyst combines
business and demographic data and enables summaries by custom geographies. For parks and recreation trend analysis, the Sports and Leisure Market Potential data is used to generate user data estimates for recreational activities. This data estimates the number of adults that participates in a number of recreational activities such as baseball, basketball, bicycling, football, golf, running, Pilates, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, volleyball, and yoga. The data are based upon national propensities to use various products
and services, applied to local demographic composition. This trend data in conjunction with community and City staff input helps to confirm trends to develop recommendations.

2.2 Park Inventory and Assessment
KTUA will conduct a field inventory of all city-owned
parks and facilities using a custom data schema in the
Esri Field Maps app. This data will inform the population level-of-service for park amenities with the data format being compatible with desktop GIS software.

The data inventory will include photos of park facilities such as - but not limited to - community centers, trails, athletic fields, playgrounds, courts, aquatics facilities, restrooms, picnic tables, seating, safety lighting, sports field lighting, drinking fountains, playground equipment, signage, outdoor fitness equipment, storage facilities, courts, trash cans, parking lots and open
spaces. The analysis will consider the capacity of each amenity as well as their functionality, capacity, accessibility, condition, comfort, and convenience as well as quantitative and qualitative rankings of park amenities.

A park facility rubric will be used to “grade” the park’s facility. A qualitative assessment will be conducted to determine if park facility designs serve their intended purposes, or if they need to be retrofitted, renovated, or reimagined to meet current and future needs. All
data will have a geographic reference to facilitate
future referencing needs of City staff.

KTUA will evaluate opportunities for park uses in
currently underdeveloped or proposed park and open
space areas, as well as opportunities to connect with
adjacent park and open space. This will be accomplished through leveraging data from identifying infill opportunity areas in existing parks, vacant or underdeveloped private and public parcels, park boundary data from neighboring park systems, and the existing and proposed active transportation (walking and bicycling) connections among parks in the City and
surrounding areas. Assessment of the current state of
facilities, projected usage, and other impacts will inform the plan for necessary maintenance, repairs, and enhancements, including budget and staffing levels.

2.3 Park Level-of-Service (Parks+)
The project team will conduct a comparative analysis of five (5) other similar communities to evaluate the programming and staffing levels to compare the
current approach utilized by Santa Fe Springs against
regional communities. The project team will work with
City staff to identify the communities to be included in the comparative effort with a primary focus on entities of similar population, demographics, and park acreage.

The park acres per 1,000 residents in Santa Fe
Springs will be compared to other jurisdictions within
the region with similar populations, using park acreage data and updating the current and future population data from analysis in the 2016 LA County Park Needs Assessment.

The park amenity level-of-service in Santa Fe Springs
will use NRPA benchmarking data for the population
served per amenity type. KTUA has compiled over
a decade of data from NRPA reports and has used
this data to establish long-term averages for amenity
level-of-service. This approach averages out the highs
and lows of self-reported, bringing some stability to the trends used for amenity level-of-service goal setting.
• Identify land that can serve as a potential park system acquisition and/or parks development opportunity within the community. • Provide an analysis of existing and future neighborhood areas, projects service populations, and parkland allocation recommendations within the urban growth boundary based on growth, transportation,
and safety; identify and discuss current and anticipated access issues including barriers to participation; make specific recommendations addressing access solutions and future needs including parkland acquisitions and development. • Seek opportunities to enhance inclusion at existing
and new amenities.

KTUA utilizes three metrics of park Level-of-Service
(LOS): Population LOS, Access LOS, and Amenities
LOS. Each of these metrics can be calculated for
the existing condition using a base year population
and existing parks and park amenities, and a future
condition based on population projections, planned
land use, and the size and location of planned/funded
or potential future parks. Each metric can also handle
acreage and amenities that may be publicly accessible through joint-use agreements (JUAs) or homeowner’s associations (HOAs).

Population LOS compares the City’s population to
the total park acres to calculate the park acres per
1,000 residents. This LOS will be compared to the
City’s current goal level-of-service to provide a total and per capita park acreage deficit (or surplus), which can inform future goal setting. The population LOS
calculations will also provide a total and per capita
park acreage deficit, which can inform goal setting
and future Quimby Act discussions.

Access LOS uses mode-specific park access points
and travel networks (walk, bike, drive) to create a park travelshed for each mode that shows the area of the
city that is has access to a park by a given mode and
distance, most commonly a half-mile walk, one-mile
bike, and two-mile drive. These distances are adjustable based on the unique characteristics of the City to determine equity of access and determine true
gaps and overlaps. Amenity-specific park travelsheds
can also be provided relative to key demographics, such as the half-mile walkshed for parks with playgrounds displayed over populations with a high
percentage of young children.

Amenities LOS uses the data collected during fieldwork to compare to a database of over a decade of park amenity benchmark data collected by the
National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). This
database allows for a population-based amenity LOS
comparison to long-term state and national averages,
as well as to the most recent year of data.

2.4 Walkability Assessment
KTUA will adopt a Safe Routes to Parks approach,
modeled after the successful national Safe Routes to
School program. This method will help identify opportunities and challenges for accessing parks within a half-mile radius, addressing any deficiencies. The data collected will include physical barriers such as railroad tracks, fences, missing sidewalks, safe street crossings, and natural obstacles within a 10-minute or halfmile distance from all parks, focusing on improvements in that area.

The half-mile distance is based on national best
practices from other Safe Routes to School projects
and provides a solid foundation for developing park
access recommendations. This analysis aligns with the
level-of-service (LOS) analysis outlined in Task 2.3.

The assessment will cover various factors, including
accessibility to bike paths and river trails, parking
options, access within parks for different ability groups, surrounding pedestrian and bike infrastructure, average safe route distances to and from residences and nearby schools, the number and locations of park
entrances, and connectivity to public transportation.

KTUA’s extensive experience in active transportation will be crucial in delivering practical and effective park access recommendations. Our team successfully applied a similar approach in the City of Pico Rivera’s Urban
Greening Plan and Rialto’s Active Transportation Plan.

To improve understanding of active travel modes in
the city, Replica will be utilized, a big data platform, to identify areas in Santa Fe Springs where walking and
bicycling are common. This information will help enhance connectivity. KTUA will leverage its experience in active transportation planning to evaluate the citywide network and develop recommendations for park access. The analysis will also consider access to bike
paths, river trails, transit, schools, and connections to existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Pedestrian volumes within half-mile of Little Lake Park Using this information as a baseline, the team will
then focus attention on developing interventions in
areas of highest need within a quarter-mile radius
around each park. Countermeasures will then be recommended to improve walking and bicycling access to each park. Recommendations may include closing
sidewalk gaps, improving curb ramps or bicycle facilities and other traffic calming options.

TASK 3: ANALYSIS OF PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

3.1 Programs and Services Analysis
Recreation programs and services are the backbone
of park and recreation agencies. This assessment will
review how well the City aligns itself with community
needs. The goal of this process is to provide recreation program enhancements that result in successful and innovative recreation program offerings. The
KTUA Team will provide insight into recreation program trends from agencies all around the country.

The process includes analysis of:
• Age segment distribution
• Lifecycle analysis
• Core program analysis and development
• Similar provider analysis/duplication of service
• Market position and marketing analysis
• User fee analysis for facilities and programs/
services
• Review of program development process
• Backstage support, or service systems and agency
support needed to deliver excellent service
Ultimately, the outcome of the process will be the
creation of a dynamic recreation program plan that
results in increased registration, drives customer
retention and loyalty, improves customer satisfaction,
and increases revenues. Additionally, it will help focus City efforts in core program areas and create excellence in those programs deemed most important by program participants.

3.2 Per Capita Spending Analysis
PROS will lead the development of the total cost of
service analysis for parks/community services and
recreation operations and corresponding performance indicators. It is intended that this analysis and metrics will serve as a framework for future analyses
to be completed to promote consistency and inform
decision making.

A benchmark analysis will be completed to compare
the Santa Fe Springs Parks and Recreation System
to other relevant peer agencies with similar size
(population and square miles) and density, using the
National Recreation and Park Association Gold Medal
Population Class categories as a guide.

DELIVERABLES:
• Analysis summary technical memorandum
TASK 4: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

4.1 Development of the Capital Improvement Program
A Capital Improvement Plan that outlines park infrastructure projects shows a commitment to make actual improvements that benefit the community. The
KTUA team will use all of the information gathered
during the existing conditions and community engagement phases to develop citywide and park-specific recommendations. These recommendations will reflect the unique characteristics of the City, its neighborhoods and diverse demographics, as well as
the physical characteristics of each park site. KTUA’s
team consists of both park planners and landscape
architects that understand the whole process of planning, designing, and constructing park infrastructure.

Although this task is still a planning-level effort, our experience with implementing park projects will allow
us to provide realistic feedback.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS | PARKS, RECREATION, & COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN | 24 D | Statement of Work | Scope of Work Tasks
Once the final list of projects are agreed upon, KTUA
will assist the City to prioritize projects by creating a long-term priority CIP plan. It will be based on the
scale of projects, the planning-level cost estimates,
budget constraints/opportunities, and feedback on
existing/future staff resources gathered from the program and services analysis.

KTUA will provide a comprehensive list of park projects for all city-owned park sites. Our team will assess each park’s opportunity areas and their potential to be redesigned/renovated to accommodate new features.

Recommendations will be based on deficiencies
identified during the Park Level-of-Service analysis
in the existing conditions phase as well as priorities
identified by focus groups, City staff and Santa Fe
Springs residents. The CIP will consist of park project detail sheets that have descriptions, maps, tables, and graphics that explain potential improvements. There
will be a strong focus on environmental sustainability initiatives. These include, but are not limited to, drought-resistant landscaping, solar power integration, and eco-friendly maintenance practices.

The KTUA team recommends the development of
a three-tier capital improvement plan that will assist
the City in the inevitable and continuous rebalancing
of priorities and their associated expenditures. Each
tier reflects different assumptions about available
resources.
• The Sustainable Alternative has plans for prioritized spending within existing budget targets and focuses on deferred maintenance and lifecycle replacement of assets and amenities within the existing parks system. The intention of this alternative is to refocus and make the most of existing resources
with the primary goal being for the City to maintain
high quality services.
• The Expanded Service Alternative describes the
extra services or capital improvement that should
be undertaken when additional funding is available.

This includes strategically enhancing and renovating existing parks and facilities to better meet the park and recreational needs of the City residents
that would require additional operational or capital funding. In coordination with the City’s financial department, the Department would evaluate and
analyze potential sources of additional revenue,
including but not limited to capital bond funding,
partnerships, grants, and existing or new taxes.
• The Visionary Alternative represents the complete
set of services and facilities desired by the community. It is fiscally unconstrained but can help provide policy guidance by illustrating the ultimate goals
of the system and by providing a long-range look
to address future needs and deficiencies. In the
Master Plan, the Visionary Alternative addresses
complete renovations of aging parks and facilities
and the development of new parks and facilities.

Funding for visionary projects would be derived
from partnerships, private investments, and new
tax dollars.

4.2 Project Cost Estimates
Based upon the recommended enhancements, improvements or addition of parks, high planning level cost estimates will be provided for each identified
enhancement, improvement, or adjustment to parks
and facilities. It’s understood that this project does not require CEQA documentation but a review of recommendations to ensure the City has the ability to meet CEQA requirements.

DELIVERABLES:
• CIP technical memorandum
• List of potential projects
TASK 5: RANK AND PRIORITIZE DEMAND AND OPPORTUNITY

5.1 Prioritize Future Park Location and Park Access
The project team will prioritize new amenities or
changes to existing recreation facilities to enhance
programming, based on identified community needs
and/or changes in the recreation industry. That will
include the potential need for land acquisition and
development of new parks in alignment with connectivity to the trails for accessibility to active transportation routes to all parks. In addition, connectivity to adjacent neighborhoods, schools, and other key
destinations will be assessed to determine the priority of these transportation modes.

For walkability and bikeability prioritization, the following, but not limited to, example criteria includes:
• Collision locations
• Capital Improvement Plans
• Public support (community engagement results)
• Local and regional connectivity
• Proximity to activity centers (schools, parks, transit, retail, recreation, etc.)
• Social equity factors (household income, private
vehicle access, and median income, among others)

5.2 Prioritize Maintenance and Future Park Development
PROS will facilitate a workshop with the maintenance
staff to discuss maintenance practices and standards
for the desired maintenance outcomes required for
the park system. Based on the accepted maintenance
standards, the PROS Team will develop maintenance
improvement recommendations including:

Maintenance Strategies: Maintenance standards
and strategies will be created to support the desired
outcomes expected for the park system.

Organizational Design (Staffing Capacity) and Implementation: This will provide support for the future management structure and staffing capacity requirements to implement the maintenance strategies as outlined and to ensure current and future assets are
well-maintained.

PROS will synthesize the findings from the community input, survey results, standards, and demographics and trends analysis into a quantified facility and program priority ranking. This priority listing will be compared against gaps or surplus in recreation
services, parks, facilities, and amenities. This will list and prioritize facility, infrastructure, amenities, maintenance, and program needs for the parks and recreation system.

Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Docusign Envelope ID: 26EFFC73-AC55-46CE-BBC7-F7ADCF2E8BB7 Separation of insureds.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: René Bobadilla, P.E., City Manager
BY: Arlene Salazar, Director of Police Services
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1156 TO AMEND SECTION

70.01 (DEFINITIONS) OF CHAPTER 70 (GENERAL PROVISIONS) AND TO ADD SECTION 72.26 (PARKING RECREATIONAL VEHICLES IS
PROHIBITED ON ANY CITY STREET) TO CHAPTER 72 (STOPPING,

STANDING, AND PARKING) WITHIN TITLE VII (TRAFFIC CODE) OF

THE SANTA FE SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE
DATE: February 18, 2025
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt Ordinance No. 1156

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE SPRINGS TO AMEND SECTION

70.01 (DEFINITIONS) OF CHAPTER 70 (GENERAL PROVISIONS) AND TO ADD SECTION 72.26 (PARKING RECREATIONAL VEHICLES IS PROHIBITED ON ANY CITY STREET) TO CHAPTER 72 (STOPPING, STANDING, AND

PARKING) WITHIN TITLE VII (TRAFFIC CODE) OF THE SANTA FE SPRINGS

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

FISCAL IMPACT
There is a direct fiscal impact anticipated with these amendments due to the need to install parking restriction signage before enforcement action begins. The first reading of the Ordinance was conducted at the February 4, 2025, City Council meeting. As part of the consideration of approval of the second reading of the Ordinace, the City Council will appropriate in an amount not-to-exceed $40,000 to cover the cost of purchasing required parking signage, supplies, advertising material and associated installation costs.

Additionally, with implementation of a Recreational Vehicle Parking Permit Program, there CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18, 2025 SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1156 TO AMEND SECTION 70.01 OF CHAPTER 70 AND TO ADD SECTION 72.26 TO CHAPTER 72 WITHIN TITLE VII OF

THE SANTA FE SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE

is expected to be minimal cost associated with staff time to advertise permit requirement, process applications and issue permits. Should additional funds be required, the Department will include additional funding in the FY 25/26 budget process.

BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Fe Springs (the “City”) has received an increased number of complaints regarding Recreational Vehicles (RVs) parking on City streets. In many instances, complaints involve RVs parked long-term, parking too close to intersections, which causes visibility issues, and moving only on days when street sweeping occurs. Assembly Bill 413, also referred to as daylighting, took effect January 1, 2025, prevents parking or stopping a vehicle along a curb at least 20 feet from a marked crosswalk which will further assist with compliance on this issue. Additionally, RVs parked on City streets have negatively impacted both residential and non-residential areas as RVs are often used for habitation purposes creating health and safety concerns due to leaking and dumping of harmful substances, trash, litter and debris onto public right-of-way. Currently, complaints regarding RVs parked/stored long-term are addressed by staff through the red-tag process. The red-tag process as authorized by the SFSMC Section 72.04 provides for the identification of motorized vehicles and trailers parked upon any City street in excess of 72 consecutive hours be subject to removal. For purposes of this proposed Ordinance, the red-tag process includes chalking/tagging the RV tires, issuing a red-tag warning notice, and returning to the location within 72 hours to ensure that the RV has moved.

During follow up, staff often finds that RVs move a short distance or onto a neighboring street. As such, complaints are not properly resolved and often escalate, resulting in the City prohibiting parking on affected streets pursuant to complaints received.

ANALYSIS
N/A

ENVIRONMENTAL
At its February 4, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Council determined that the adoption of Ordinance No. 1156 was exempt from CEQA.

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Fe Springs introduced Ordinance No. 1156 at its February 4, 2025, City Council meeting. Investigating and enforcing RV complaints consumes a significant amount of Public Safety and Whittier Police Department resources. Current enforcement tools are limited, come with challenges, and are ineffective long-term. Public Safety personnel continue to respond to calls for service regarding RVs, following them from one location to another after being red-tagged and moving a short distance to remain in compliance with the City’s 72- hour parking restriction. The Santa Fe Springs Municipal CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18, 2025 SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1156 TO AMEND SECTION 70.01 OF CHAPTER 70 AND TO ADD SECTION 72.26 TO CHAPTER 72 WITHIN TITLE VII OF

THE SANTA FE SPRINGS MUNICIPAL CODE

ITEM STATUS:

APPROVED:

DENIED:

TABLED:

DIRECTION GIVEN:

Code (SFSMC) does not regulate or restrict RV parking citywide and current practices do not address the problem on a citywide level. In order to effectively address citywide RV parking issues, staff recommends establishing a citywide Recreational Vehicle Permit program to regulate and authorize the parking of RVs on the City’s streets by temporary permit. The proposed Ordinance would establish a program that would permit temporary parking of RVs on the City’s streets through issuance of a temporary parking permit. By adopting this Ordinance, the City will also have the ability to effectively address RV parking issues on City streets and ensure equitable and fair parking enforcement practices. In order to enable parking enforcement, parking restriction signage will need to be installed at City entrances prohibiting RV parking on City streets except by permit. The penalty for violation of any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor and a civil violation subject to the penalties provided for under Section 10.97 of the SFSMC. The proposed parking violation fine for parking an RV without a permit is $63.00, which is consistent with the City’s current bail schedule.

Furthermore, staff has conducted a survey of surrounding cities with established Recreational Vehicle Permit programs, which include the cities of Norwalk, La Mirada, Bellflower and Lakewood and found that most cities issue temporary RV permits free of charge to residents. Considering that the application and permitting process is intended to be an over-the-counter process that will require minimal staff time, staff recommends that permits be issued to residents free of charge. Each resident may be issued no more than three (3) temporary RV parking permits per calendar month.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Ordinance No. 1156 will be effective 30 days after its adoption. Upon adoption, staff will advertise the implementation of the Recreational Vehicle Parking Permit Program to allow for community awareness about the process. In addition, staff will coordinate with the Department of Public Works to install the required signage prior to enforcement. Permits are expected to be issued starting on March 28, 2025, with a one-month grace period so that staff can provide warnings and permit enforcement starting on April 28, 2025.
