Mr. Tricia Maruki, Assistant City Engineer – (909) 395-2188 303 East “B” Street, Ontario, CA 91764 [email protected] Bucknam has been working with the City of Ontario and its PMP since 1998; this covers over fourteen phases of inspection (all MicroPAVER), reporting and GIS management. Our services cover annual pavement inspections, CIP/maintenance budget analysis and reporting. Over the past twenty years our services have assisted the City in increasing their overall weighted PCI from the low 60’s to the high 70’s. The City includes almost 600+ miles of streets. Our Project Manager has worked with the City since 2001 and has worked with five different City project managers in regard to the PMP; this trust comes from our adherence to project deliveries, cost management and proactive PMP goals. Bucknam is now under a five-year contract until FY 2030.

Bucknam utilizes the most current ESRI ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcMap for the management of the City’s pavement and utility datasets; as well as within Bucknam’s MyRoads® GIS webportal app.

Historical PMP tracking of an agency’s conditions (PCI’s) truly reflects how the PMP is being managed; shown below is the City of Ontario’s historical PCI from 2004 to 2024. Bucknam has been working with Ontario since 1998 and has been an essential part of long-term success shown.

1.2 Consultant’s Proposal.

The Scope of Services shall include the Consultant’s scope of work or bid which shall be incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of such proposal and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

City shall have the right at any time during the performance of the services, without invalidating this Agreement, to order extra work beyond that specified in the Scope of Services or make changes by altering, adding to or deducting from said work. No such extra work may be undertaken unless a written order is first given by the Contract Officer to the Consultant, incorporating therein any adjustment in (i) the Contract Sum for the actual costs of the extra work, and/or (ii) the time to perform this Agreement, which said adjustments are subject to the written approval of the Consultant. Any increase in compensation of up to ten percent (10%) of the Contract Sum or $29,853.00, whichever is less; or, in the time to perform of up to one hundred eighty (180) days, may be approved by the Contract Officer.

The method of compensation may include: (i) a lump sum payment upon completion; (ii) payment in accordance with specified tasks or the percentage of completion of the services, less contract retention; (iii) payment for time and materials based upon the Consultant’s rates as specified in the Schedule of Compensation, provided that (a) time estimates are provided for the performance of sub tasks, (b) contract retention is maintained, and (c) the Contract Sum is not exceeded; or (iv) such other methods as may be specified in the Schedule of Compensation.

2.3 Reimbursable Expenses.

Each month Consultant shall furnish to City an original invoice for all work performed and expenses incurred during the preceding month in a form approved by City’s Director of Finance.

By submitting an invoice for payment under this Agreement, Consultant is certifying compliance with all provisions of the Agreement. The invoice shall contain all information specified in Exhibit “B”, and shall detail charges for all necessary and actual expenses by the following categories:
labor (by sub-category), travel, materials, equipment, supplies, and sub-contractor contracts. Subcontractor charges shall also be detailed by such categories. Consultant shall not invoice City for any duplicate services performed by more than one person.

City shall independently review each invoice submitted by the Consultant to determine whether the work performed and expenses incurred are in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

In the event any charges or expenses are disputed by City, the original invoice shall be returned by City to Consultant for correction and resubmission. Review and payment by City for any invoice provided by the Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any rights or remedies provided herein or any applicable law.

2.5 Waiver.

ARTICLE 3. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE

3.1 Time of Essence.

(g) Enforcement of contract 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.
(h) Requirements not limiting.

If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

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

(k) 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 City and approved of in writing. (l) 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. (m) Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project 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, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. (n) Agency’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
(o) Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. 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 City.
(p) Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give 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.

Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years

following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Consultant’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Consultant’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act.

6.2 Reports.

Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed.

6.3 Ownership of Documents.

All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”) prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use. Consultant shall have the right to use the concepts embodied therein. All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City.

6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information.
(a) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer.

(b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct. (d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response.

ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION

7.1 California Law.

This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default.

This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give

notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party.

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et seq. and 910 et seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term.

This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Consultant, except that where termination is due to the fault of the Consultant, the period of notice may be such shorter time as may be determined by the Contract Officer. In addition, the Consultant reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to City, except that where termination is due to the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Consultant may determine. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant.

If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

7.9 Attorneys’ Fees.

If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment.

ARTICLE 8. CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES: NON-DISCRIMINATION

8.1 Non-liability of City Officers and Employees.

No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which

may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.

8.2 Conflict of Interest.

Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement.

No officer or employee of the City shall have any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement nor shall any such officer or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects her/his financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership or association in which (s)he is, directly or indirectly, interested, in violation of any State statute or regulation. The Consultant warrants that it has not paid or given and will not pay or give any third party any money or other consideration for obtaining this Agreement.

8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination.

Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class.

8.4 Unauthorized Aliens.

Consultant hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Consultant so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Consultant hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by City.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 7.d.

DATE: September 1, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
APPROVED BY: Rene Salas, City Manager
SUBMITTED BY: Gerardo Marquez, Director of Community Development & Public Works
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND ADOPT
ORDINANCE NO. 1292 AFFIRMING THE PLANNING
COMMISSION’S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE ZONE
TEXT AMENDMENT NO. ZTA-26-02 TO AMEND SOUTH EL
MONTE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 17.03.230 TO IMPOSE
A 1,000-FOOT BUFFER DISTANCE FROM ALL SENSITIVE

USES, OTHER MASSAGE BUSINESSES, AND
JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES.

SUMMARY: Consideration to waive full reading and adopt by title only Ordinance No. 1292 amending Section 17.03.230 (“Massage Establishments”) of Chapter 17.03 (“Permit Approval Procedures”) of Title 17 (“Zoning”), approving Zone Text Amendment No. 26-02 (“ZTA-26-02”) and establishing a 1,000-foot buffer distance from all sensitive uses, other massage establishments in the City, and the City's jurisdictional boundaries to protect and preserve the public health, safety, and welfare.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1292 by title only to amend the South El Monte Municipal Code (SEMMC) Section 17.03.230 (“Massage Establishments”) to establish a 1,000-foot buffer distance from all sensitive uses, other massage establishments in the City, and from the City’s jurisdictional boundaries.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the City.

DISCUSSION: In 2009, California State Senate Bill 731 (Massage) created the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), which limited cities’ ability to regulate massage establishments. In 2015, California State Assembly Bill 1147 restored the City ‘s ability to regulate massage establishments through land use and local licensing and health and safety requirements.

In 2015, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1195, which amended the South El Monte Municipal Code (“SEMMC”) to include Chapter 5.22 (“Massage Establishments”) to

impose licensing requirements for massage establishments. In 2024 the City amended SEMMC to impose location and zoning regulations, including a 500-foot distance requirement between massage establishments, and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) requirement for all new massage establishments.

The City has had issues with massage establishments operating without the necessary permits or licensing and engaging in illicit activities such as prostitution and human trafficking. Most recently, the City went through the process to revoke a massage establishment’s CUP, preventing further operation. The process to revoke these illicit massage establishments has disproportionately absorbed public resources and has led to other potential impacts on neighborhood character, quality of life, reduced property values and damage to public trust. These public health, welfare, and safety issues can be addressed by imposing additional distance requirements from sensitive uses, such as parks, schools, day care centers, and residential areas; and distance requirements from the City’s jurisdictional boundary.

SEMMC Section 17.03.230 specifies zoning and locational restrictions for massage establishments and requires that new establishments not be within 500 feet of an existing establishment. On March 25, 2026, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 26-06, (Attachment B) recommending that City Council adopt ZTA-26-02 establishing a buffer requirement for massage establishments of at least 350 feet from the City’s jurisdictional boundary, and of at least 1,000 feet from the following sensitive uses:
• Day Care Centers
• Religious Institutions
• Schools
• Youth Centers
• Residential Zoned Properties
• Parks
The resulting area where massage establishments may be located if a CUP was approved by the Planning Commission. These areas are illustrated in the map marked Attachment C.

ANALYSIS
In February 2025, after recent massage establishment CUP revocations, City Council directed staff to create additional buffers from sensitive uses such as schools, public facilities and residential uses, and additional buffers to the city jurisdictional boundary.

As noted above, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the proposed Zone Text Amendment with additional buffer distance requirements from sensitive uses and the City's jurisdictional boundaries.

At the May 5, 2026 City Council regular meeting, the Council directed Staff to expand the distance requirements between new and existing massage establishments from 500 feet to 1,000 feet. The public hearing was continued to the June 2, 2026 meeting, and then continued again to the June 16, 2026 meeting, to provide time to make revisions to the Ordinance and provide maps and visual aids for discussion and consideration. Note that the June 2, 2026 agenda and staff report incorrectly list the continued date as June 23, 2026. At the June 2, 2026 meeting staff stated on the record that the item would be continued to the “next meeting,” defined as the next regularly scheduled City Council

meeting, and thereafter posted notice of the new hearing date, June 16, 2026, on the public bulletin.

At the June 16, 2026 City Council regular meeting, the Council voted to continue the item to the next regular City Council Meeting on July 7, 2026, and directed staff to prepare an alternative version of the map illustrating the locations where a new massage establishment could be permitted if the required separation from the jurisdictional boundary were increased from 350 feet to 1,000 feet.

During the July 7, 2026 City Council meeting, there was a consensus from Council to increase the jurisdictional boundary buffer from the originally proposed 350 to 1,000 feet.

Additionally, Council voted to continue the item to the next regular City Council meeting on July 21, 2026, and directed staff to further elaborate on the specific massage definition and distinguish between different massage operations. SEMMC Section 5.22.010 defines massage establishments as:
"Any fixed location where massage is performed for compensation, including, but not limited to, those businesses that provide massage services accessory to their principal permitted use, such as an aromatherapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, beauty salon, health club, beach club, skin care salon, and day spa. The term "massage establishment" or "establishment" includes a sole proprietor, an independent contractor, and any certified massage practitioner or therapist performing massage in the city without being employed by another massage establishment."
Based on the definition referenced above, the Municipal Code already identifies businesses that may provide massage services and establishes the threshold at which those businesses are classified as a massage establishment when massage services are offered as an accessory to their principal permitted use.

At the July 21, 2026 City Council regular meeting, after public testimony was taken, the Council voted to determine that Ordinance No. 1292 is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) ("Common Sense Exemption"), and waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 1292 by title only to amend the South El Monte Municipal Code (SEMMC) Section 17.03.230 (“Massage Establishments”) to establish a 1,000-foot buffer distance from all sensitive uses, other massage establishments in the City, and from the City’s jurisdictional boundaries.

Currently, massage establishments may apply for a CUP in the Manufacturing (M), Commercial-Manufacturing (C-M), Commercial (C) and Commercial-Residential zones (C-R). However, as depicted in Attachment C, the new buffer restrictions for massage establishments will now limit new massage establishments to only M and C-M zones in the northwest part of the City. This will provide the necessary buffer from sensitive uses such as residential homes, schools and parks that are generally located on southeast part of South El Monte.

FINDINGS
Pursuant to SEMMC Section 17.03.150 (E)(3) and (F)(3), a recommendation by Planning Commission for approval of a Zone Text Amendment and a decision by City Council regarding such recommendation must each be based on the following findings:

1. Substantial proof exists that the proposed change will promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the citizens of the city; Unregulated

massage establishments have the potential to adversely affect the public health and safety of South El Monte residents. The amendment of land use regulations, in alignment with State requirements, specific only to future massage establishments vetted by the City’s licensing application process (SEMMC Chapter 5.22) and ultimately entitled through a conditional use permit (SEMMC Section 17.03.230) will assist in these efforts by requiring a 1,000 foot separation from sensitive uses, other massage establishments, and the City's jurisdictional boundaries.

2. The proposed change is in conformance with the purpose of this chapter and with all applicable, officially adopted policies and plans; The proposed amendment does not change the operational and security requirements and safeguards established in Chapter 5.22 to ensure future massage establishments and employees comply with state law for licensing. The proposed amendment provides a buffer distance from sensitive uses, other massage establishments, and the jurisdictional boundary in order to protect nearby sensitive uses and the general public health, safety, and welfare of the City. Thus, the amendment is consistent with all applicable, officially adopted policies, regulations, and plans.

3. Streets and public facilities existing or proposed are adequate to serve all uses permitted when the property is reclassified; No new massage establishments are proposed as part of the Zone Text Amendment. Existing buildings and operational footprints of general retail buildings within the City are sufficient for potential new massage establishment uses, provided they meet the separation requirements and obtain the necessary permits. As such, the existing retail buildings do not require additional streets and public facilities nor impose undue strain on existing infrastructure and services. Proposed modifications to any new subject sites must meet all applicable Planning and Building & Safety regulations. Therefore, no change in service use will occur to the subject properties.

4. All uses permitted when the property is reclassified will be compatible with present and potential future uses, and further, existing regulations applying to the property in question; The proposed amendment will ensure that future uses meet all applicable standards and requirements pursuant to SEMMC Chapter 5.22 and Section 17.03.230 and thus will be compatible with present and future uses.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS/DETERMINATION
Staff reviewed the proposed project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines and has determined that the project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines15061(b)(3). The amendment does not approve any development or construction, and any future projects will be subject to review pursuant to CEQA. The amendment does not allow for massage establishments to establish locations in the City without undergoing the licensing application process to receive a permit, nor increase the number of massage establishments, and does not change any building regulations or requirements that could have an environmental impact. In addition, Section 15061(b)(3) includes the general rule that CEQA only applies to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Therefore, no further action is required under CEQA.

WHEREAS, although massage establishments have legal status like other professions, the City continues to find massage establishments in the City frequently are not conducted like professional businesses, despite certification by the CAMTAC; and WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the City’s Code Enforcement Department have found massage establishments in the City have consistently operated without the necessary permits and engaged in illicit activities such as prostitution and human trafficking; and
WHEREAS, when massage establishments participate in such activities, it can change neighborhood character, impact quality of life, impact the local economy, reduce property values, disproportionately absorb public resources, and damage public trust; and WHEREAS, the City believes these public health, welfare, and safety issues can be addressed by increasing the distance between massage businesses and by imposing additional

distance requirements from sensitive uses, such as parks, schools, day care centers, and residential areas; and
WHEREAS, on March 25, 2026, the South El Monte Planning Commission held a noticed public hearing and adopted Resolution No. 26-06 recommending City Council adoption of this Ordinance and ZTA No. 26-02; and

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO.
26-063, APPROVING THE SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR
THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY FORWARD "JUMP-START"

PROJECT ALONG GARVEY AVENUE BETWEEN LEE

AVENUE AND SASTRE AVENUE
SUMMARY: Consideration and approval of Resolution No. 26-063 to approve the scope of improvements for the San Gabriel Valley Foward "Jump-Start" Project" along Garvey Avenue between Lee Avenue and Sastre Avenue and authorize City Staff to take all necessary actions to implement the intent of this Resolution, including coordination with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and Metro in furtherance of the approved scope of improvements, and the negotiation and execution of an agreement with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) and/or the SGVCOG, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to proceed with the engineering design and construction of the project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff recommends City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 26-063:
a. Approving the scope of improvements for the SGV Forward “Jump-Start” Project, consisting of side-running bus lanes operating in the peak hours between 7AM-9AM and 4PM-7PM, transit signal priority, and bus shelter upgrades. The limits of the improvements would be along Garvey Avenue between west of Lee Avenue (at the Rio Hondo Bike Path) and Sastre Avenue.
b. Authorizing City staff, including the City Manager and their designee, to take all necessary actions, including the negotiation and execution of an agreement with LA Metro and/or the SGVCOG, to proceed with the engineering design and construction of the project.

FISCAL/FINANCIAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact.

DISCUSSION: In March 2024, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) adopted the San Gabriel Valley Transit Feasibility Study, which identified regional transit projects to improve mobility and connectivity across the San Gabriel Valley (SGV). As part of this study, now called SGV Forward, a set of “Jump-Start” demonstration projects were identified to accelerate transit improvements in advance of the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. The “Jump-Start” projects consist of quick-build improvements to increase bus speed and improve service reliability. In the City of South El Monte, these improvements are focused on the Garvey Avenue corridor between west of Lee Avenue (at Rio Hondo Bike Path) and Sastre Avenue which serves Metro Line 70 in the western half of the San Gabriel Valley. Metro Line 70 is a Tier 1 Metro service with weekday headways (frequency) of 7.5 minutes and it ranks as one of the highest ridership bus lines in the region.1 The “Jump-Start” improvements are intended to fit within the existing street right-of-way and consist of three categories:
• Dedicated peak hours side-running bus lanes – this improvement consists of signs and pavement marking that designate the outside travel lanes for buses during peak hours, while preserving the existing curb and sidewalk area behind the curb in place. The side-running peak hour bus lanes would designate the outside travel lanes for buses during the peak hours of 7AM-9AM and 4PM-7PM. Designated bus lanes have been implemented in many locations in Los Angeles County and nationally and have proven to increase the speed of bus service and improve schedule adherence. This improvement is designed to be compatible with the City’s “Complete Streets” project, maintaining space for a Class II bike lane. During the peak hours, the outside travel lanes would be reserved for buses; however, vehicles could access the outside travel lanes in advance of intersections and driveways to make right turns.
• Transit signal priority – this improvement consists of traffic signal controller and communications enhancements, applying a cloud-based technology. The technology allows a bus to make a priority request as it approaches an intersection.

Based on defined parameters, the traffic signal controller determines whether to extend the green signal or shorten the red signal to allow a bus to pass through an intersection without stopping. Transit signal priority has also been implemented at many intersections in the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County, and nationally and has been effective at speeding up bus service while also improving the flow of traffic for vehicles moving in the same direction as the buses. • Bus shelter upgrades – this improvement consists of installing new enhanced bus shelters with amenities such as canopies for protection from sun and rain, seating, real-time next bus arrival displays, and lighting to provide comfort and enhance the rider experience. Bus shelter upgrade locations will be prioritized for bus stops with the highest ridership demand and where there is space available within the street right-of-way.

The project has conducted a multi-lingual outreach program, with six community meetings and four community pop-up events completed thus far to solicit input from community members. In addition, traffic and parking studies were completed to evaluate operational impacts and inform the scope of improvements.

The cities of South El Monte, Monterey Park, Rosemead, and El Monte formed a subPage 308 of 338 committee to collaborate on the scope of the “Jump-Start” projects. The sub-committee met three times, with two designated City Councilmember representatives from each jurisdiction, to discuss the project and promote continuity across agency boundaries. The first sub-committee meeting occurred in April 2026, and subsequent meetings occurred in June and July 2026. Following the third sub-committee meeting, each city recommended that the project be brought before their respective City Council for concurrence on the defined project as described above. Should Council approve the recommended scope of improvements, the SGVCOG would seek environmental clearance of the proposed project before the end of 2026 and pursue necessary funding from Metro to complete engineering design and construction to implement the project by the end of 2027.
1 LA Metro defines Tier 1 bus service as its highest-frequency category of local bus service - bus service operating every 10 minutes or better during weekday daytime periods, including peak and midday hours; buses run seven days a week, and carry above Metro’s median daily ridership.

DISCUSSION: The San Gabriel Valley Wounded Heroes of America is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting combat-wounded veterans and their families by empowering them to serve as leaders within their communities, including many who reside in South El Monte. For the past eight years, the organization has hosted the annual

Marines vs. Army Softball Game, a community event that fosters camaraderie, honors military service, and brings together veterans, families, and residents in a supportive environment.

Because several participating athletes are South El Monte residents, Patriotic Commission Vice-Chair Victor Montiel requests that the City Council consider hosting the annual game within the City of South El Monte and authorize a fee waiver in the amount of $375.00 for the use of city facilities.

Dear South El Monte City Council,
I hope you're doing well. My name is Victor, and I am a member of Wounded Heroes of America, part of the SGV Marines softball team, and currently serve on the Patriotic Commission for the City of South El Monte.

For the past eight years, our group has proudly hosted an annual Marines vs. Army softball game—an event that brings together veterans, their families, and our broader community.

We provide food, refreshments, and a family-friendly environment that celebrates camaraderie, service, and the strong bonds shared among veterans.

Although most of our SGV Marines are from El Monte and South El Monte, we have been hosting the event in Monterey Park simply because one of our participating veterans, a lieutenant with Monterey Park PD, has been able to secure the field for us. However, none of our veterans reside in Monterey Park, and we would truly like to bring this tradition home to the community we represent.

With that in mind, I would like to respectfully request the City Council’s consideration and support in allowing us to host this year’s Marines vs. Army softball game at New Temple Park Senior Field here in South El Monte. Additionally, we kindly request a fee waiver for the field reservation to help support this event and its purpose of honoring veterans, strengthening community ties, and bringing together all South El Monte residents.

We would also be honored to invite the City Council, local South El Monte veterans, and our residents to attend and be part of this tradition.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I would be happy to provide any additional details the Council may need.

Respectfully,
Victor Montiel | Field Service Superintendent
