ATTACHMENT D
RESOLUTION NO. 24-140

A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH EL MONTE CITY COUNCIL
REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 21-63 AND APPROVING
REVISIONS TO THE CITY’S 6TH CYCLE 2021-2029 HOUSING

ELEMENT IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS BY THE

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 21-01
WHEREAS, the City of South El Monte (“City”) is required to adopt an eight-year update to the Housing Element Sixth Cycle;
WHEREAS, the State of California requires every municipality to periodically update the Housing Element of its General Plan to review the housing needs of the community and revise its policies, programs and objectives to address those needs. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) reviews the Housing Element prior to adoption, and HCD is required to issue findings regarding whether, in its opinion, the element complies with the requirements of state law;
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on September 21, 2021, which recommended that City Council adopt General Plan Amendment and Negative Declaration. All evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing was considered by the Planning Commission in making its determination; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on October 12, 2021, to consider the proposal. Based on all of the evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing, City Council approved the Housing Element update.

WHEREAS, part of the approval process and compliance certification, HCD has requested that the City of South El Monte incorporate non-substantive revisions to the adopted Housing Element in order to obtain required agency certification. These minor revisions consisted of clarification to the applicable Housing Element programs in order to highlight the fair housing issue, contributing factor(s), and the program/action types appendices of the Housing Element into the Plan’s Goals, Policies, and Programs. These changes do not change the intent of the Housing Element or commit the City to any further actions throughout the planning period; and WHEREAS, in order to ensure that these non-substantive revisions are incorporated into and made part of the City’s adopted Housing Element that will be further reviewed by HCD for certification, the adoption of Resolution No. 24-140 is required so that the revised Housing Element is adopted by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the City Council on March 12, 2024, to consider the proposal. The public hearing was opened and continued to the March 26, 2024, City

Council meeting to allow staff sufficient time to review the comments provided by the Department of Housing and Community Development; and
WHEREAS, on March 26,2024, the public hearing was continued from the March 12, 2024 meeting. All evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing was considered by the City Council in making its determination.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq.), and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines, City staff had an initial study prepared of the potential environmental effects of the proposed General Plan amendment. Based on the information contained in the initial study, staff determined that there was less than substantial evidence that approval of the proposed re-designations may have significant environmental impact. Accordingly, the City prepared a Negative Declaration in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Notice of the preparation of the Negative Declaration was posted for the period of August 30, 2021, through September 19, 2021.

Pursuant to Section 15074(b) of said Guidelines, the Planning Commission independently reviewed and considered the contents of the initial study and the negative declaration prior to deciding whether to approve the proposed General Plan amendment.

Section 2. The City Council of the City of South El Monte hereby adopts the Negative Declaration and General Plan Amendment for adoption of the Housing Element.

Section 3. All evidence, both written and oral, presented during said public hearing was considered by the City Council in making its determination. Based on the record of the proceeding, the City Council hereby finds as follows:

1. In accordance with Government Code Section 65585, the City Council has reviewed the findings of HCD and finds that the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element has been revised to fully address each of the findings made by HCD;

2. The proposed General Plan Amendment updating the Housing Element is necessary to comply with State law and is consistent with the General Plan;

3. The proposed General Plan amendment to the Housing Element is in accordance with State law requirements. The proposed General Plan amendment will not create or result in any significant impacts to the General Plan, Zoning Code, nor be in conflict with any applicable environmental plans or policies, be incompatible with existing land uses, affect agricultural resources, or disrupt the physical arrangement of the established community. Therefore, there will be no significant land use or planning impacts associated with this project;

4. The proposed General Plan amendment will consider updated population, employment and housing statistics. However, there will be no significant impacts to the regional or local population projections, nor induce substantial growth in the

City, nor displace existing housing (especially affordable housing) as the proposed General Plan amendment stresses the creation of new housing stock, the rehabilitation of existing housing units, and the conservation and preservation of existing housing units, all of which are consistent with the estimated growth of the City as identified in the General Plan;

5. The proposed General Plan amendment does not include any physical modifications or alterations of the existing land or structures. Any physical modifications or alterations to existing land and/or structures as a result of the amendment’s objectives will be addressed through separate environmental analysis consistent with CEQA. As such, the General Plan amendment does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below selfsustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.

Further, for this reason, the proposed General Plan amendment does not have impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable, nor have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, directly or indirectly; and

6. For reasons discussed in the Initial Study, which is incorporated herein by reference, the General Plan amendment would not have any potential to achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals, nor would the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable.

Section 4. The City Council authorizes staff to make non-substantive changes to the Housing Element as necessary to make it internally consistent, compliant with HCD requirements, and in conformity with the final City Council action on the project. Should HCD require substantial changes to the Housing Element adopted herein, staff shall bring such changes back to City Council for review and adoption.

Section 5. Based on substantial evidence presented of the likelihood of the development or redevelopment on non-vacant sites provided in Appendix E, Sites Analysis and Inventory, of the Housing Element, the existing uses on the sites identified in the site inventory to accommodate the lower-income Regional Housing Needs Allocation are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the planning period covered by the Housing Element.

Section 6. Any interested party may appeal this decision to the City Council pursuant to Section 17.22.110 of the South El Monte Municipal Code. The time within which judicial review, if available, of the City Council’s decision must be sought is governed by Section 1094.6 of the California Code of Procedure and Section 1.24.010 of the South El Monte Municipal Code, unless shorter tie is provided by other applicable law.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of March 2024.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 9.a.

DATE: March 26, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Anthony Taylor, City Attorney
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE DIRECTION REGARDING

OPTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON SMOKING

IN PUBLIC PLACES AND THE SALE OF TOBACCO IN THE
CITY
SUMMARY: At the February 13, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council expressed interest in exploring its options to address smoking and tobacco sales in the City following a presentation discussing the same. Accordingly, by way of this staff report, the City Attorney’s Office further evaluated the matter to provide the City Council some options to address the regulation of smoking and prohibition of the sale of all tobacco products.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: (1) Continue to follow and enforce the City’s tobacco and electronic cigarette retail permitting regulations and smoking prohibitions pursuant to Chapters 8.40 and 8.42 of the South El Monte Municipal Code (“SEMMC”) as it adopts and implements provisions delineated by Federal and State law; and (2) Consider amending the SEMMC to ban the sale of flavored tobacco products and tobacco product flavor enhancers pursuant to Senate Bill 793.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact cannot be estimated at this time.

DISCUSSION: On February 13, 2024, the City Council heard a presentation regarding reducing youth access to tobacco products by Dr. Julia Ruedas, Senior Program Manager and Policy Analyst with LAC-USC Medical Center Foundation. During her presentation, Dr. Ruedas explained that tobacco and vape use among youth continued to be a problem in Los Angeles County and advised the City Council that several cities have adopted Tobacco Retail Licensing policies, which help reduce youth access to tobacco products. Particularly, Dr. Ruedas stated that the cities of Beverly Hills and Manhattan Beach prohibited the sale of all tobacco products.

Governing Law
Federal Law

Under federal law it was illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18. (21 U.S.C. § 387 et seq.) However, in 2019 new legislation amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act raised the federal minimum age for sale of tobacco products from 18 to 21 years. This legislation (known as “Tobacco 21” or “T21”) became effective immediately, and it is now illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product—including cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes—to anyone under 21. The new federal minimum age of sale applies to all retail establishments and persons with no exceptions. Federal law also prohibits self-service displays of tobacco products, regulates the minimum package size of cigarettes, and prohibits the sale of individual cigarettes. (21 U.S.C. §§ 333, 372, 387a-1; 21 C.F.R. §§ 1140.14(a)-(b), 1140.16(c).)
The federal Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act (PACT) (See 15 U.S.C. §§375-378 and 18 U.S.C. §§ 2341-2346) blocks the shipment of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products (including vapes, zero-nicotine e-liquids, tobacco-free nicotine e-cigarettes, and CBD/THC vape pens) via the US Postal Service, and several major US parcel carriers have vowed to honor the PACT Act including UPS, FedEx, DHL. However, this does not preclude all shipping options.

State Law (Including SB 793)
In California, it is illegal to sell tobacco products to persons under 21 or at least 18 years old with a valid military ID. (Cal. Penal Code § 308 (see additional discussion regarding enforcement under this statute, below); Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 22952, 22957, 22958. Note, federal law now restricts sales to a minimum age of 21 years.) Although the State legislature has yet to update the relevant statute(s) to remove the military exemption for 18 year-olds, the California Department of Health has immediately implemented the 21 year old minimum for all sales consistent with the Tobacco 21 federal law.

Senate Bill 793 bans the sale of flavored tobacco products and tobacco product flavor enhancers, with exceptions for hookah tobacco, loose leaf tobacco, and premium cigars. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 104559.5.) Retailers are fined $250 for each sale violating the law. (Id.)
Use of electronic cigarettes, including single-use e-cigarettes, is also prohibited wherever smoking is prohibited (with some exceptions) including, but not limited to:
• enclosed places of employment (Cal. Lab. Code § 6404.5); • family day care facilities (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1596.795); • foster and group homes (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1530.7); • within 25 feet of playgrounds or 250 feet of a youth sports events (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 104495(b), (d));
• in public buildings or within 20 feet of a main exit, entrance, or operable window of a public building, or in a state-owned passenger vehicle (Cal. Gov’t Code § 7597(a) and § 1286);
• in cars with minors (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 118948); • on public transportation (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 118925); • on passenger carriers (buses, trains, planes) (Cal. Pub. Util. Code § 561(a));

• on grounds of facilities under Department of Youth Authority jurisdiction (with the exception of residential staff housing where inmates or wards are not present) (Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 1712.5(b));
• in nonprofit charitable temporary food facilities,(Cal. Health & Safety Code § 114332.3(f));
• in outpatient health facilities (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1234); • within 25 feet of the commerce area of certified farmers’ markets (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 114371(f)); and
• on a state beach or unit of the state park system (Cal. Pub. Res. § 5008.10(b).) Additionally, schools may not allow students to use tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, on campus or while attending school-sponsored activities. (Cal. Educ. Code § 48901(a).) In fact, school districts, charter schools and county offices of education are required to adopt and enforce policy prohibiting use of e-cigarettes. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 104420(n)(2).) Use of nicotine delivery devices are also prohibited in county offices of education, charter schools, school/district buildings, school/district property, and school/district vehicles. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 104559(a).) Finally, the landlord of a residential dwelling unit may (but is not required to) prohibit smoking of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, on the property or any portion of the building. (Cal. Civ. Code § 1947.5.)
South El Monte Municipal Code
South El Monte Municipal Code (SEMMC) Chapter 8.40 provides for the licensing permitting of all retail sales of tobacco products and electronic cigarettes. SEMMC Chapter 8.42 prohibits smoking in or around city buildings; playgrounds; restaurants, bars, and open air dining areas; public parks, schools, and recreational facilities; city transportation service and city vehicles; family day care homes; and enclosed places of employment. The SEMMC currently has no provisions governing the sale of flavored tobacco products.

Beverly Hills Municipal Code & Manhattan Beach Municipal Code These cities have completely banned the sale of tobacco products within their city; however, the City of Beverly Hills has not updated its municipal code to reflect the total ban.

San Francisco Municipal Code
The City of San Francisco has banned the sale of all flavored tobacco products.

Conclusion
This can be a complex and constantly developing area of law that is continuing to evolve. As always, please contact the City Attorney’s Office if there are any legal questions regarding this matter.

Editor’s Note:

This Article, comprising Sections 19Q.1 – 19Q.8, was added by Ord. 140-17, approved July 7, 2017, then suspended by the filing of a referendum petition. As part of Proposition E, it was adopted by the voters at the June 5, 2018 election, and became effective 30 days after the election results were declared.

SEC. 19Q.1. FINDINGS.
(a) Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, killing more than 480,000 people each year. It causes or contributes to many forms of cancer, as well as heart disease and respiratory diseases, among other health disorders. Tobacco use remains a public health crisis of the first order, in terms of the human suffering and loss of life it causes, the financial costs it imposes on society, and the burdens it places on our health care system. The financial cost of tobacco use in San Francisco alone amounts to $380 million per year in direct health care expenses and lost productivity. (b) Flavored tobacco products are commonly sold by California tobacco retailers. For example: 97.4% of stores that sell cigarettes sell menthol cigarettes; 94.5% of stores that sell little cigars sell them in flavored varieties; 84.2% of stores that sell electronic smoking devices sell flavored varieties; and 83.8% of stores that sell chew or snus sell flavored varieties. 70% of tobacco retailers within 1,000 feet of San Francisco schools sell flavored tobacco products other than menthol cigarettes, and nearly all sell menthol cigarettes. (c) Each day, about 2,500 children in the United States try their first cigarette; and another 400 children under 18 years of age become new regular, daily smokers. 81% of youth who have ever used a tobacco product report that the first tobacco product they used was flavored. Flavored tobacco products promote youth initiation of tobacco use and help young occasional smokers to become daily smokers by reducing or masking the natural harshness and taste of tobacco smoke and thereby increasing the appeal of tobacco products. As tobacco companies well know, menthol, in particular, cools and numbs the throat to reduce throat irritation and make the smoke feel smoother, making menthol cigarettes an appealing option for youth who are initiating tobacco use. Tobacco companies have used flavorings such as mint and wintergreen in smokeless tobacco products as part of a “graduation strategy” to encourage new users to start with tobacco products with lower levels of nicotine and progress to products with higher levels of nicotine. It is therefore unsurprising that young people are much more likely to use menthol-, candy- and fruit-flavored tobacco products, including not just cigarettes but also cigars, cigarillos, and hookah tobacco, than adults. Data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey indicate that more than two-fifths of U.S. middle school and high school smokers report using flavored little cigars or flavored cigarettes. Further, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a more than 800% increase in electronic cigarette use among middle school and high school students between 2011 and 2015. Nicotine solutions, which are consumed via electronic smoking devices such as electronic cigarettes, are sold in thousands of flavors that appeal to youth, such as cotton candy and bubble gum. (d) Much as young people disproportionately use flavored tobacco products including menthol cigarettes, the same can be said of certain minority groups. In one survey, the percentage of people who smoke cigarettes that reported smoking menthol cigarettes in the prior month included, most dramatically, 82.6% of Blacks or African-Americans who smoke cigarettes. The statistics for other groups were: 53.2% of Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders who smoke cigarettes; 36.9% of individuals with multiracial backgrounds who smoke cigarettes; 32.3% of Hispanics or Latinos who smoke cigarettes; 31.2% of Asians who smoke cigarettes; 24.8% of American Indians or Alaska Natives who smoke cigarettes; and 23.8% of Whites or Caucasians who smoke cigarettes. People who identify as LGBT and young adults with mental health conditions also struggle with disproportionately high rates of menthol cigarette use. The disproportionate use of menthol cigarettes among targeted groups, especially the extremely high use among African-Americans, is troubling because of the long-term adverse health impacts on those groups. (e) Between 2004 and 2014, overall smoking prevalence decreased, but use of menthol cigarettes increased among both young adults (ages 18-25) and other adults (ages 26+). These statistics are consistent with the finding that smoking menthol cigarettes reduces the likelihood of successfully quitting smoking. Scientific modeling has projected that a national ban on menthol cigarettes could save between 300,000 and 600,000 lives by 2050.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 9.b.

DATE: March 26, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 24-141, APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO CONTRACT SERVICES

AGREEMENT (CSA) WITH COUNCIL FOR WATERSHED

HEALTH FOR THE MERCED AVENUE GREENWAY

PROJECT
SUMMARY: On October 12, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 21-66 awarding a contract services agreement (CSA) to Council for Watershed Health (CWH) to provide project administration services for the Merced Avenue Greenway (Rush Street to Lerma Road) project in the amount of $412,447 funded through a California Natural Resource Agency Prop 68 grant to proceed with pre-construction activities including project administration, grant reporting, technical services supporting bid and award, WQ/LID planning documents and community engagement. The Merced Avenue Greenway Project in the City of South El Monte is a multi-benefit green street project which includes decentralized Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) within the street right-of-way that slows, captures, treats, and infiltrate stormwater runoff.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council: Adopt Resolution No. 24- 141, approving an amendment to the existing CSA with Council for Watershed Health to 1) increase the PSA value by $499,850 to authorize the full scope of project administration, technical services, LID/WQ monitoring program implementation and community engagement through construction and post-construction monitoring of the southern portion of the Merced Avenue Greenway project. These efforts are expressly identified within the funded agreements and line item budgets of the State Water Resource Control Board (SWRCB) Prop 1 and LA County Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) Measure W grants; 2) edit PSA terms and conditions in Exhibit C to delete 10% retention requirement; and, 3) extend performance period to April 30, 2026.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The proposed amendment increases the contract services agreement to $912,297 and will be funded from the following sources:

CNRA (Prop 68) Grant $412,447
SWRCB (Prop 1) Grant $ 88,162
County SCWP (Measure W) Grant $411,688
Total Budget $912,297
The proposed not-to-exceed cost is within the approved project budget and results in no fiscal impact to the City.

DISCUSSION:

The first phase of the 1.1-mile Merced Avenue Greenway began construction activities in January 2024 to implement the southern .65-mile segment of the project between Rush Street and Lerma Road. This southern segment is funded through grants applied for and secured with the direct assistance of CWH and reflects the long-term partnership between the city and the non-profit organization, as well as, their community-based organization (CBO) partners Active SGV, and Climate Resolve. Together, these partners have been instrumental in conducting robust community engagement to inform the planning and design of this multi-purpose green infrastructure project. CWH was successful in assisting the City in securing $9.8M in grants from five (5) agencies representing local, state and federal funding sources.

On April 3, 2023, the Engineering Department solicited construction bids, with the lowest responsive bid submitted by Gentry Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $9,098,474. The bid results revealed a $2.1M funding gap related to escalation in construction costs resulting from the world-wide pandemic and inflation. CWH was further successful in securing a commitment from SWRCB to fill the gap and brought the total project budget up to $11.9M; thus, allowing the award of the construction contract at the July 25, 2023 Council meeting. The SWRCB grant was amended effective July 19, 2023.

This recommended contract amendment will fully fund the continuation of grant identified and intended project technical support activities of CWH and its sub-consultants (ex.

Active SGV, Climate Resolve, Herrera Environmental Consultants, TetraTech/Alta) through construction and post-construction phases, including, but not limited to: a) grant administration and project coordination support; b) A/E technical support; c) on-going and robust community outreach to provide construction updates and showcase educational benefits of the new greenway during construction; d) implement post-construction stewardship activities; e) WQ monitoring plan implantation including install support, training & equipment; f) WQ sampling and reporting; and, g) assist with plant health monitoring; and, h) preparation of an Urban Heat Island monitoring report.

This innovative partnership between the City of South El Monte (as the lead entity), Council for Watershed Health, ActiveSGV, and Climate Resolve along with the original technical design team (Tetra Tech/Alta) will ensure that the intended design is carried over efficiently through the construction and post-construction phase.

Council for Watershed Health (CWH) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with experience in watershed resource planning using GIS, green infrastructure, environmental assessment, and community engagement. CWH understands the complexities of engaging multiple City agencies, residents, and project stakeholders on large and complex infrastructure projects. It has technical expertise in the design and construction of public right-of-way green infrastructure and stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) projects. CWH serves as the project lead on water resource issues as they pertain to the

operations and maintenance of green infrastructure elements, pre- and post-construction project performance monitoring and reporting, and the use of native plants and climateappropriate plants in urban landscape projects.

ActiveSGV is a 501(c)3 community-based nonprofit organization focused on community, open streets, transit improvements, green infrastructure, and advocacy for a more sustainable, equitable and livable San Gabriel Valley. ActiveSGV staff has a long history working with community residents in the City of South El Monte and understands the needs of its members. ActiveSGV will serve as the lead technical advisor on community engagement and stewardship on the greenway. As was their role in the design phase, ActiveSGV staff will continue to help develop unified messaging and galvanize local support through information sharing about integrated water management and parallel community benefits.
