For the Regular Meeting o'f: January 28, 2025
Oiiginating Department: Community Development
DavidCrabtree R6bHoust6n
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS AMENDING REQUIREMENTS FOR
INDUSTRIAL USES, IMPROVING LAND USES SURROUNDING FUTURE TRANSIT
CENTERS, ENHANCING COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS, AND PREPARING RELATED
ENVIRONMENT AL DOCUMENT ATION
PURPOSE: Staff is seeking direction from Council to address three important issues: (1) an ordinance amendment regarding industrial uses; (2) land use improvements surrounding two future transit centers; and (3) enhancements to cominercial corridors to encourage new businesses and development.
An environi'nental review to analyze potential ii'npacts created by an ordinance or other actions is required pursuant to the Califoiwia Environi'nental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: The City Council will consider:
a. Discussing an ordinance amendment regarding industrial uses; land use improvements surrounding two future transit centers; and enhancements to comi'nercial corridors to encourage new businesses and development;
b. Providing direction to staff on releasing a request for proposal ("RFP") to obtain a planning and environmental consultant qualified in addressing the items above, including preparing an environmental document; and
c. Directing staff to release the RFP to qualified consultants to solicit plaru'iing and environinental services.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Public notification other than publishing the City Council agenda in a timely manner is not required for a workshop. Once an ordinance amendment has been prepared, advertising and notification of a public hearing will be conducted in compliance with the South Gate Municipal Code ("SGMC") Sections 11.50.020 and 11.50.030.
FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that planning services would cost $350,000 to $400,000 and environmental services would cost $150,000 to $330,000 plus contingency. The total ranges from $500,000 to $750,000. Funding would be paid from the General Fund.
ALIGNMENT WITH COUNCIL GOALS: The FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plans supports the City Council goals of creating and protecting strong and sustainable neighborhoods by supporting projects and programs that benefit low-and moderate-income residents of South Gate. 1 63
ANALYSIS: Tl'ie City of South Gate's ("City") 2015 Zoning Code prohibits new industrial warehouse development over 15,000 square feet (SF). Through previous discussions, City Council directed staff to review options to make the city more business friendly so tliere is a better balance between businesses and residential neigliborhoods. Additionally, Metro is planning to build two new transit centers in the City wliich will directly affect suirounding properties and potentially be a catalyst for improvements in our cominercial corridors. In order to foster development in a way that improves tlie quality of life for residents, staff l'ias prepared a scope of work that covers the following:
1. Ordinance Ainendment: Consider a citywide ordinance that proposes a broader definition of industrial uses, particularly in relation to warehousing and truck-generating businesses.
Currently, the City has a 15,000-square-foot limit on warehousing and part of the industrial land use review would include either eliminating or revising that limit.
2. Future Transit Centers: Consider addressing land uses surrounding two Metro transit centers scheduled to be constructed over the next 10 years within the City boundaries. Staff seeks recoininendations to create overlay zones or similar for each area surrounding these stations to promote economic benefits for the City through expanded development zoning. The City will be partnering with Metro to coordinate transit center plaru'iing.
3. Coini'nercial Corridors: Staff seeks recornrnendations on zoning overlay adjustments that would promote more opportunities for business growth and redevelopment along major coi'nu'nercial corridors within tlie City. This includes the entire length of Tweedy, Firestone, and Long Beach Boulevards, and Atlantic Avenue.
A planning and environmental consultant will be needed to develop standards and policies to address the items above as well as the related enviroi'imental documentation. Staff has reached out to tlie City's "bench" consultants, which includes De Novo, Kimley Horn, and EcoTierra. Estimates range from $500,000 to $750,000 to do the plaru'iing and environmental work, which may vary depending on what is included in the scope and the extent of the impacts to be considered. This includes $350,000 to $400,000 to cover the ordinance amendment and other planning work, and between $150,000 to $330,000 for the environi'nental document, plus contingency.
In terms of completion, it could take the consultant 8-10 months for the planning portion and 12-14 months to complete the envirom'nental document assuming an environmental impact report ("EIR") is required. Some of the work could be done concurrently; however, a comprehensive update could take about 12 months; however, the scope will have to meet the City's goals and adjustments may be necessary as staff works out the details.
The consultant would need to provide the following services:
* Researcliing ordinances of other cities to identify applicable requirements, general conditions, mitigation measures, etc. for:
o Industrial uses, including warehouses
o Transit centers/stations
o Major retail/comt'nercial corridors
2 64
* Identifying constraints and opportunities within the City for new warehouses and other industrial uses.
* Identi'fying streets and intersections that would be impacted by tiuck traffic generated from warel'iouses and other industrial uses.
* Identifying lii'ikages from industrial areas to transit stations/corridors and major commercial areas and determining ways to improve tliose linkages. * Providing comi'nunity outreacli including community meetings to receive resident feedback. * Providing recommendations encouraging a point-of-sales within the City to generate sales tax. * Recoi'nu'nending parking alten'iatives to reduce the required number of parking spaces, encourage alternative transportation, and promote train ridership. * Recorni'nending zoning and code adjustments that would encourage new restaurants, retail, and other comi'nercial businesses along major corridors. * Providing an adequate California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") document including furnishing appropriate technical reports such as analyses of air quality, noise, traffic, etc., and drafting mitigation measures.
BACKGROUND: On April 16, 2024, the Planning Commission ("Commission") lield a public hearing on a similar item to consider a Zone Code Ai'nendment to modify Title 11, Chapter 11.21 of the SGMC to revise the City's Ordinance pertaining to building area maximums for warehousing land use types. The Coinmission considered two resolutions: the first, Resolution No. 2024-02A, recomi'nended to the City Council that the City's Zoning Code be revised to eliminate size limitations on warehouses in the City's Urban Mixed-Use Zones and Cornrnercial Industrial Zones; the second, Resolution No. 2024-02B, would direct staff to study the matter further and return to the Comi'nission later with recommendations. The Coi'ni'nission voted to deny both resolutions by a vote of 3-2 and 5- 0, respectively.
On May 28, 2024, City Council considered an appeal of the Planning Coini'nission's denial of tlie Zone Code Ainendment. City Council received public cornrnents from members of the public. At the conclusion ofthe hearing, the City Council voted to uphold the Planning Coi'nmission's action denying a Zone Code Amendment. The motion passed by a vote of 3-2. Council directed staff to explore alternatives of having a cap on warehouse use in the City, and further research the issue on industrial uses. Subsequently, staff engaged the services of Kosmont Companies ("Kosmont") to provide guidance on what other cities are doing in regards to industrial use policies.
On August 21, 2024, City Council received a presentation from the Kosmont Companies ("Kosmont") on an industrial land use study. Kosmont was retained by the City to research various policies adopted by select cities. While there are a few cities that prohibit new warehouses, most create policies to generate substantial revenue from new warehouses to offset traffic and other impacts and help achieve a better balance between businesses and residential neighborhoods. The City's industrial land is in high demand because the City is in a prime location near Port of LA and Long Beach. The growth of e-cominerce also lures businesses and developers who are seeking opportunities for new warehouses and distribution centers in the City. The City has a number of industrial zoned parcels that are suited for redevelopment, but questions arose as to what will be acceptable uses in the future. Currently, there 3 65
are industrial areas in the City that are blighted and underutilized and landowners and businesses are interested in bringing industiial land uses, including warehousing, to revitalize tliese areas. Industrial development with warehousing can create opportunities for landowners and create jobs, but they can also create negative impacts for the coinrnunity. The City Council took no action but directed staff to review options for development alternatives.

69 OVERVIEW
The City of South Gate ("City") 2015 Zoning Code prohibits new industrial warehouse development over 15,000 SF.
Because of the City's prime location near Port of LA and Long Beach and the growth of e-commerce, the City's industrial land is in high demand. Landowners and developers are looking for opportunities to site new warehouses and distribution centers in the City. City has a number of industrial zoned parcels that are suited for redevelopment, but there are questions as to what will be acceptable uses for this land in the future.
Currently there are industrial parcels in the City that are blighted and underutilized. Landowners and businesses are interested in bringing in industrial land uses that include warehouse operations, as a way to renew their parcels.
Industrial development with warehouses can create opportunities for landowners and create jobs, but they can also create negative impacts for the community.
The City Council directed staff to review options for development alternatives, which are discussed in this report.
Thus, Kosmont Companies ('4Kosmont") was retained by the City to research various policies adopted by select cities.
While there are a few cities that prohibit new warehouses, most create policies to generate substantial revenue from new warehouses, to offset traffic and other impacts, and help achieve a better balance for both the business and residential communities.

OVERVIEW
The scope of this Study and discussion is to review alternatives to the current restrictions in place for industrial use, including a 15,000 sq. ft. cap on new warehouse space. A review of what other cities do to regulate industrial uses is presented herein and the Study includes:
Identification of industrial areas within City of South Gate and how truck trips are routed Review of three ways cities look to collect revenue to offset impacts of industrial uses Case studies of California cities industrial use policies Possible policy suggestion for discussion
Possible next steps
It is important to note that the number one issue concerning South Gate residents is increased truck traffic. The City has a limited number of truck routes that are focused at pinch points along Firestone at Atlantic Ave, 1-710 freeway and Garfield Ave. as shown on the following slide. It will be important for City retain a traffic expert to determine realistic traffic volumes from a range of warehouse uses, identify mitigation measures and likely costs in order to calculate the development impact fees needed to cover necessary roadway and other improvements.
The Kosmont study, along with a focused traffic analysis, will help the City evaluate potential changes to the Zoning Code and other policy options.

73 CITY OF SOUTH GATE - 2015 WAREHOUSE
RESTRICTION
Land use permission tables in Section 11.21.030 of the Zoning Code establish the uses to which land in each zone may be put. Table
11.2'l-3 specifies uses allowed in the Urban Mixed-Use zones, and Tabie 11.21-4 specifies uses allowed in the Commercial Industrial zones. Under those tables, warehousing is permitted (subject to issuance by the City of a Conditional Use Permit) in the Industrial Flex (IF), Light Industrial (LF), Light Manufacturing (M2) and Heavy Manufacturing (M3) zones. However, footnote 18 in Table 11.21- 3 and Footnote ') I in Table I ').2j-4 each limits the size and placement of warehouses within those zones as follows:
"Limited to maximum building area of fifteen thousand square feet and is not permitted along street frontage (would have to be a rear use)."
These footnotes were incorporated into the South Gate Municipal Code in 2015 when the Planning Commission prepared, and the Council enacted, a comprehensive update to the Zoning Code. The Planning Commissioners and City Council Members who were in office at that time felt the inclusion of these footnotes was necessary to prevent a proliferation of large warehouses in the City which would cause detrimental impacts to the community.

74 FEE / CUP / DA RESEARCH
a In addition to research on industrial policies, Kosmont interviewed the local National Association of Industrial and Office Properties ("NAIOP"), local industrial real estate brokers, and land use attorneys to get a broad perspective on how primarily southern California communities address industrial warehouse challenges. a While many cities have Development Impact Fees ("DIF") that are charged to new industrial development, state law requires nexus studies to create a schedule of fees by land use type to assure parties are charged for fair share of infrastructure costs. The standards used to measure traffic impacts from new development are typically based on ITE standards using the number of employees at a location, which is -1 per I,000 SF and fees range from $2 to $5 per SF. Therefore, many Nexus studies do not necessarily factor in the number of trips and the time of day involving warehouse/e-commerce truck unloading and loading of goods for local delivery. a Kosmont research found that most cities utilize a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") or Development Agreement "DA") negotiation with industrial developers to give the City flexibility to negotiate large impact fees and annual special taxes to address the unique circumstances involved with wide range of businesses utilizing warehouse space.
Our Study found most concern with large scale e-commerce distribution facilities, but many corporations utilize facilities that combine regional HQ's, R&D, manufacturing and local Business to Business ("B to B") distribution, that vide high paying jobs, significant assessed value for property taxes and local sales tax generation. kosffl6nF KOSMONT COMP ANIES

SUMMARY OF REVENUE METHODOLOGIES
There are many ways for the City to address developer proposals and increase the public revenues from industrial uses, such as Fees, Taxes and negotiated Public Benefits:
a Approach: FEES - Cost recovery for new development fair share of increased infrastructure/public facility costs o Commission a Nexus Study to determine realistic traffic volumes from a range of warehouse uses and to calculate the development impact fees needed to cover necessary roadway and other improvements Examples:
o Monrovia Nexus study indicated Industriaf Traffic cost of S2,"/00 per PM peak hour trip o Burbank Nexus study indicated Warehouse allocated Transportation cost of §'lO,500 per PM peak hour trip (however the aaual fee was based on /TE trip factor of only O.34 trips per I,000 SF - so fee was S3.80 per SF) o Burbank Nexus study O/SO estimated impads on other public facilities at $3.67 per SF for tota/ of S7.47 per SF o Hayward Nexus study indicated max DistSbutionNVarehouse Traffic Fee of S8.24 per SF of building area o Clovis established Industrial lm-pact Fees of $6 to '§i7 per SF that cover fx:ilice, fire, water facilities in addition to streets o Fontana warehouse impact fees are -$5 per SF

79 MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL POLICY REFERENCES
A number of California municipalities have enacted industrial policies in recent years to address the influx of large distribution centers and warehouses associated with the online retail industry. There is a significant need for large warehouse facilities where sorting, storage and ultimate distribution of retail products can take place. Concerns around these uses relate to their high generation of truck trips paired with low job counts at relatively low pay.

80 FONTANA
The City of Fontana has approved over 16 million SF of warehouses in past few years. The upfront development fee the City charged to cover circulation impacts was approximately $5.00 per SF of building area for industrial uses. No fee for municipal services
Fontana was sued by environmental groups over approval of two large warehouse projects in the southern part of the City. In 2022 the Attorney General of CA announced a settlement with the City that protects community from pollution. The City has adopted a new ordinance that is the strictest in the State requiring landscape buffers, use of solar power, zero-emission vehicles, truck routing plans, and 'prohibition of off-site parking and vehicle stacking. kos!!!l KOSMONT COMP ANIES 13
81 VERNON
In June 2022, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1283 (Attachment 2), a 45-day urgency moratorium ordinance. Ordinance No. 1283 was adopted to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by prohibiting the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouse uses, freight terminals, truck terminals, container storage, and container parking in the City.
Vernon subsequently adopted a permanent ordinance (Municipal Code Section 17.84.060) that requires new warehouse in excess of 150,000 SF must utilize a DevelopmentAgreement, public hearing and approval by the City Council.
There has been one project approved through the DA process. In March 2024, GPTVernon, owner of an old industrial building on 7. I acre site at 5764 Alcoa received approval to demolish existing buildings and construct a new 153,000 SF warehouse building. The DA requires owner to pay $1 million community benefit fee payable in four installments of $250,000 each, with a potential credit against year 2 thru year 4 payments for utility taxes paid in excess of a formula provided in DA. This community benefit is equal to approximately $7 per SF for a similar development proposed in South Gate.

82 SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
The County of San Bernardino recently approved a +21 3-acre specific plan with Howard Industrial partners to redevelop an unincorporated residential community of 138 low income single family residences with 3.2 million SF of new industrial warehouse development and 480 units of high density multi-family units. This project faced intense community opposition due to the removal of hundreds of families.
According to RSG report, the Bloomington Specific Plan's Community Benefits included a $2.00 per SF upfront fee and $0.34 per SF annual payment. Kosmont was not able to verify these community benefit fees. kosl KOSMONTCOMPANIES I IS
83 CARSON
The City of Carson has examined many policies to generate more revenue from industrial development in the City. In 2017 they considered establishing annual business tax, but there was major opposition. In 2018 the City hired Kelly Associates to examine feasibility of Interim Development Impact Fee Ordinance, which was adopted in April 2019 to help fund streets and other public facilities. City also hired NBS to examine the fiscal impact of new development to justify a new CFD No 2018-01 that calculated annual special tax burdens on new development to fund enhanced roadway maintenance.
Development impact Fee ("DIF")
Carson adopted the recommended 2019 DIF for industrial uses totaling $2.20 per SF of building area. (As point of comparison the DIF for Multi-Family is $25,000 per unit) CFD Special Taxes
Carson also established annual CFD special tax of $98 per industrial employee and $5,324 per acre of land kO!?l KOSMONTCOMPANIES I 16

Due to industrial developer pressure, and desire for community benefits, Jurupa Valley has approved changes to several planning areas to allow industrial development in areas that were designated for residential and commercial.
Agua Mansa Commerce Park
In 2020 the City approved a Development Agreement to allow development of 4.4 million SF of industrial warehouse on a 208-acre former cement plant site.
In addition to standard impact fees, the City negotiated a wide range of community benefits:
a $4 million for a Community Recreation Facility and $500,000 for North Rubidoux Master Planning and City administrative costs.

Research by RSG indicated that the deve(opers were requi to pay $300 million in Impact Fees, however the site is rural undeveloped land at the far east edge of the City and massive infrastructure is needed to prepare sites for development. Job creation was the major community benefit. for the World Logistics Center, a proposed 40 million SF A review of the Development Agreement found that actual community benefits were as follows:
s $6.99 million for education workforce training in logistics industry payable $1 million upfront and $0.1I per SF for each building permit

s $'l75,000 for air filtration systems for existing propeities within the project area kos! KOSMONT COMPANIES ig
87 POMONA
Because of long-term community concerns over e-commerce warehouse development impacts on traffic and air quality, the City of Pomona adopted a temporary moratorium in 2022 on new industrial warehouse, while the City underwent a major update of it zoning code that was 75 years old.
In June 2024 the new code was adopted, and as a result warehouse or distribution buildings are not permitted except in the Fairplex Overlay Zone

88 BURBANK
In 2022 the City of Burbank commissioned a Nexus Study by EPS and Fehr Peers to update the Development Impact Fee ("DIF") program. The Study analyzed impact of expected new residential, commercial and industrial development on the need for police, fire, library and park facilities, information technology and transportation infrastructure.
For transportation impact fees the study examined the increase in PM peak hour trips and estimated the average capital cost to mitigate to be -$10,500 per trip. For warehouse/industrial the Study used ITE trip generation tables of O.34PM peak trips per 1,000 Sr'; which yielded a traffic impact fee of $3.62, adjusted for inflation to $3.80 per SE (We note that ITE PM peak trip generation faaors for warehouse are significantly less (-10%) as compared to commercial uses - indicating that such ITE factors may not take into account business to consumer delivery trips).
The study also identified warehouse/industrial impacts on police, fire, parks and library facilities that justified fees of $3.67 per SF.
The Study's total DIF was estimated at $7.47 per SF for warehouse/industrial buildings. kos!al, KOSMONTCOMPANIES I 21
89 REDLANDS
As a result of community concerns regarding impacts that warehouses were having, the City of Redlands established a moratorium on warehouse development in 2022. This enabled City to study and draft a new ordinance regulating where and how new distribution centers could be built.
City Council approved the Ordinance that limits any warehouse exceeding 50,000 SF from being more than I mile from an I-$O or 1-210 freeway exit/entrance ramp. In addition, no warehouse/distribution centers greater than 150,000 SF can be built south of l-10 or east of 1-210 freeway.
The City also decided to put a business tax increase for warehouse uses on the Nov. 2022 ballot. The Measure J initiative passed, and it increased the annual tax to $0. 105 per square foot of building area. kos!a!L KOSMONT COMPANIES 22
90 CENTRAL VALLEY CITIES
Kosmont recently prepared a development impact fee survey for the City of Clovis that showed the range of impact fees that Central Valley cities charge for commercial and industrial development.
The ana/ysis found that not only do fees vary by tyJpe of land use, but b> giugi upliiy Ivcation (e.g., higher fees for area with least infrastructure in place). See i//ustration on next s/ide Clovis had front-end fees for industrial ranging from $6 to $7 per SF of building area to cover allocated capital costs for water, sewer, parks, police, fire, and streets. As point of comparison, City commercial impact fees ranged from $21 to $30 per SF reflecting much higher perceived traffic volumes.
Other cities in the region had industrial fees ranging from $2 to $9 per SF (also a fraction of the commercial fees). kos!!!l xosmox'r compxxibs I 23

93 POLICY SUGGESTIONS
Here are potential revenue sources for City Council policy consideration, as it relates to permitting warehouse development or redevelopment, subject to further due diligence, study and market conditions:
I. City to commission traffic/road capacity study to define maximum traffic that can be accommodated or mitigated with capital investmentThis would be basis for a Nexus study for Development Impact Fees (could range from $5 to $10 per SF of project - assuming major traffic improvements are needed and can feasibly be done)
2. Based on public works road maintenance assessment, City can establish BusinessTax or CFD SpecialTax (could range from $0.25 to $0.35 per SF of project per year)
3. City can define DevelopmentAgreement requirements for projects greater than 50,000 SF or so, and establish a baseline fee (could range from $4 to $6 per SF of project for community benefits that can be increased based on the specific circumstances)
A 200,000 SF warehouse could resu/t in upfront feeslbenefits of S2-4 million, f:ilus annual revenue of'fh50,000 to S70,000 ko!!!l KOSMONT COMPANIES I 26

SUBJECT: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION REGARDING ZONING CODE
AMENDMF,NTS
PURPOSE: To take testimony and review evidence at the appeal heariitg, and decide whether to uphold the Planning Commission action, whether instead to reverse that action by resolving to modify the Zoning Code; or take otl'ier such action as niay be determined by the City Council.
RECOMMF,NDED ACTIONS: Following tl'ie conclusion of the Public Hearing, the City Co'iutcil will consider:
a. Upl'iolding the actioii talcen by the Planning Commission at its Ap'iil 16, 2024, meeting, by adopting a Resolution attachedhereto;
b. Or, in the alternative, reversing the Planning Commission action by adopting a Resolution attached hereto, wMcli is a Resolution of Intent to adopt an ordinaiice amending the City's Zoning Code to remove certain restrictions on the size and location of warehouses in the City's Urban Mixed Use and Comnnercial Industrial zones; or
c. Take other such action as tlie City Cotincil may deterinine, FISCAL IMPACT: None
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Advertising and notification of the public hearing for the appeal was conducted in compliance witli Chapter 11.50.020, Title 11 of tlie 8outl'i Gate Municipal Code. Notice of thehearingwasoriginallypostedandpriblisliedinthe"l,og,4nge!es Fave"newspaperandwasrnailedto stuarounding propeities on May 16, 2024,
ENVIRONMENTALEVALUATION: Upholdingtheactiontakenbytl'iePlanningCommissionwould not affect CEQA compliance Requirements. Adoption of a Resolution Categorically Exempt from CEQA for two reasons. First, amendment of a zoning code ordinance only constihites a "project" under CBQA if it has the potential for resulting in direct or indirect pliysical clianges to the enyironment, per 14 CCR § 15378, This proposed amendment will not cause physical changes to the environnnent, becarise it does not exempt future warehouse projects from Conditional Use Peru"iit aiid CBQA compliance requirements, The proposed mnendinent is therefore exenxpt from CEQA because it does not ineet the definition of a CEQAproject. Second,evenifitweretobedeemedaproject,ithasnopotentialforcausingasignificant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from CEQA prirsuant to 14 CCR 8315061. 35 AS13772.0860893 4873-9506-5022vl
97 BACKGROUND: At its re@'Jar meeting of April 16, 2024, the City Plani'iing Commission ("Cormission") held a public hearing to consider a Zone Cliange Amendinent. The Commission considered two resolutions regarding proposed changes to Cl'iapter 11.21 of the South Gate Zoning Code (wlffch is set foith iii Title 11 of tlie South Gate Mtu'iicipal Code). The first resolution, Resolution No, 2024-02A, if approved by the Comtnission, recormnended to the City Council ("Council') that tlie City's Zoning Code be revised to eliminate size limitations onwarehouses inthe City's' UrbanMixed-Use Zones and Comnnercial Industrial Zones, The second resolution, Resolution No. 2024-02B, if approved by the Commission, would direct the City's Community Development Depaitment staff ("Staff') to study tlie matter fiirther and return to the Conssioxt later with reconimendations, The Coinmission voted to deny bothresolutions.
.USTALYSIS: The Zoning Code, together with the City's General Plan, Specific Plans and Zoning Map, divides the City into various geographical use zones. Land use permission tables in Section 11.21.030 of the Zoning Code establish the uses to wMch land in each zone may be put, Table 11,21-3 specifies uses allowed in the Urban Mixed-Use Zones, and Table 11.21-4 specifies uses allowed iii tlie Commercial Industrial zones. Under those tables, warehousing is permitted (subject to issuance by the City of a Conditional Use Permit) iii the Industrial Flex (IF), Light Industrial (LF), Light Manufacturing (M2) and Heavy Manufacturing (M3) Zones. Howeveri footnote 18 in Table 11.21-3 and FOOtnOte 11 in Table
11.21-4, each limits the size andplacement of warehouses witliin tliose zones as follows:
"Limited to maxitnurn building area of fifteen thousaiid square feet and is not permitted along street frontage (would have to be a rear use)."
These footnotes were incorporated into the South Gate Municipal Code in 2015 wlien the Commission prepared, and the Council enacted, a compreliensive update to the Zoing Code. The Planning Commission and City Council at that tiine determiiied the inclusion of these footnotes was necessary to prevent a proliferation of large warehouses in the City which would cause detiimental impacts to the commrmity.
Recently, landowners and developers have expressed to the City's Coinmunity Development Department staff members (and in some cases to Planning Commissioners and to City Council Members) the landowners' and developers' opiiiions that the liinitations imposed by these footnotes are outdated, are tinduly restrictive, and create limitations inconsistent with tlie current business practices of the warehousing industry,
One such developer, Soutlx Gate Owner, LP, and its partners Soutli Gate GP, LLC and OMP South Gate GP LLC (collectively, "Appellant"), wliicli owns property in one of the affected zoixes, asked the Commission to recommend to this City Council that it amend the Zoning Code by eliminating tliose footnotes entirely. The Commission conducted a duly-noticed public hearing to consider the matter on April 16, 2024. After considering presentations by tlie Comrt'nuiity Development Department and by the Appellant, and affer listening to public comments from Soutli Gate residents and business owners both supportiiig and opposixig the requested cliange, tlie Conmiission determined not to adopt a resolution recornrnending that this City Council amend the Zoning Code to remove those footnotes and the correslionding restrictions on the size aiid location of warehouses in the City ("Aprill6 Action"), The Appellant is appealing the Commission's April 16 Action and is aslcing the City Council to reverse it 36 AS13772.0860893 4873-9506-5022vl
98 by adopting a resolution of intent to pass an ordinance amending the Zoning Code to remove those footnotes and corresponding restrictions.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The two resolutions attached as exhibits to this Agenda Bill are mutually excJusive, sucli that oiy one, gid not both, should be adopted by this City Coiincil.
If, after considering tlie presentations and testimony presented at the heaiig, the City Council has not been persuaded tliat there is a need to modify the City's Zaoning Code to remove the current restrictions on the size and location ofwarehouses within tlie City, then the Council shoulduphold the Cossion's April 16 Action by adopting a Resolution.
But if, after considering the presentations and testimony presented at tl'ie hearing, tlie City Council has been persuaded that there is a need to modify tlie City's Zoning Code to remove the ctu'rent restiictions on the size and location of warehouses within the City, then the Council should reverse tl'ie Planning Commission's April 16 Action by adopting a Resolution, which is a Resolution of Intent to adopt Ordinance, modifying the City's Zoning Code to remove footnote No. 18 from Table 11.21-3 and to reinove footnote No. 11 from Table 11.21-4, Alteinatively, the City Council can take such other action as it may detemine, to provide guidance to City Staff.

SUBJECTi AMENDINGTHF,CITY'SZONINGCODEBYMODIFYINGTITLF,11,CHAPTF,R11.21 OF THE SOUffi GATE MUNICIPAL CODE TO RELAX OR REMOVE RESTRICTION8 0N THE, 8IZ'E OF WAREH:OUSE8 ATTTHOJ?TZED IN THIE CffY=S URBAN .MIXED USE ZONES AND
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL ZONES
PURPOSE; To consider two alternate resolutions regarding proposed changes to Chapter 11.21 of the Sout]i Gate Zoning Code (which is set forth in Title II of tbe South Gate Municipal Code), The first resolution, if approved by thePlanning Cominission ("Coi'nmission"), would beto recommend to tlie City Council ("Council>) that the C'ity's Zoning Code be revised to eliniinate size limitations on warehouses iri tlie City's' Urban Mixed tJse Zones and Commercial Industrial Zones. Tlie second resolution, if' approved by the Commission, would direct tbe City'g Community DevelopmentDepaztnent staff("Staff') to study the :lnatter further and returll tO the Coinmission at a later date witli recommendations, The resolutions ate intended to be alternative approaches to the issue and ha've been written with the intention tliat the Commission can approve either resolution but should not approve both. The Commission also has the option of not approvirxg eitlier of the two resolutions, which wouldeffectivcly signify the Commission's desire that the Zoiiiiig Code not be amended.
At the request of tlie Applicaiit, tliis item wus contixiued from the Planning Commission meeting ori March 5, 2024,
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staff recomtnends thatthe Commission talce the following actions:
a, CONDUCT apublic liearinB;
b, ACCEPT the deterrniiiation that the adoption of Resohttion No. 2024-02A is exempt from tlie California Environtnental Quality Aot ("CEQA"), codified at Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.:), pursuaiit to Public Resources Code F§ 21080,17, artd that tlie adoption of Resolution No, 2024-02B is "categorically exempt" from CEQA under tlxe regulatory guidelines establishcd under CBQA ("CEQA Guidefines"), codified at CJiapter 3 of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code ofRegulations ("CCR"), as a Class 6 exemption(Information Collection) under 14 CCR. § 15306 atd is also "statirtorily exempt" from CEQA under aie Feasibility and Planniiig Studies exemption establi,slied by the CEQA Guidelines at 14 CCR § 15262;
c, DISAPPROVE,ANDDONOTADOPT,ResolutionNo,2024-02A5whiohresolutionrecoinmendsthe immediate removal of size restrictioi'is for warehouses iri the City's Urbait Mixed Use Zoi'ies at'id Cotnmercial hidustrial Zoxies,
d. TAKE ACTJON ON Resohttioii No, 2024-02B by either approving and adopting or disapproving and clioosiiig not to adopt that resolution. Staff has i'io preference or recon'mieiidation as to the approval or l

disa,pproval of Resolution No. 2024-02B, except that if the Cominission approves and adopts Resolution No, 2024-02A, then Staff recommends disapproving and notadopting ResolutionNo, 2024-02B, PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Adveitising and notification of the public lieaiing foh this item was conducted in compliance with South Gate Municipal Code Sections 11.50,020 and 11.50,030, Notice of the hearing was originallypostedaixdpublisliedinthe "SouthGatePress"onFe:bxuuy24,2.024, Tlle original pllblit:' l'rearing Was 8Cheduled far March 5, 2024, Since, at tlle request Ofthe AppliOit, tile publiC heating was continued at tbe March 5'h meeting to a "date certain" (April I(,(li)i nO additional public notice is required, aside from that described in the above paraBrapli.
ENVIRONMENTAL FX'ALUATION: Adoption of Resolutiori No, 2024-02A is exempt from CEQA for two reasons, First, amendtnent of a zoning code ordina'i'ice only constitutes a "project" under CEQA if it has the potential for resulting in direct or indirect I:ihysical clianBes to the enviroiunent, per 14 CCR J§ 15378, Tliis proposed amendment will i'iot cause physical chaiiges to the environu'rient, because it does not exempt future watehouseprojectsfromConditionalUsePerrnitandCBQAcompliancerequirernents. Theproposedamendment is therefore exempt from CEQA because it does not nieet the definiiion of a CEQA project. Second, even if it were to be deemed a project, it has no potentia! forcausing asignificmit effect onthe envimnment and is therefore exemptfrom CEQA pursuanttol4 CCR f:ll506i
Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-02B is also exempt from CEQA for two reasons. First, it is categorically exempt from CBQA as a Class 6 exemption tuider 14 CCR § f5306. Class 6 exempts activities mrisimng of "basic clata collection, resesch, experimental .inanagement, aiidresource evaluationactivities whichdo notresult in a serious or major disturbance to an enviroi'u'nental resource, These may be strictly for information gatheiing purposes, or as part of a study {cading to an action yhich a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or tunded." Second, it is also statutorily exempt from CEQA as Feasibility and Planning Studies under the CBQA Guidelines at 14 CCR F§ 15262. That exemption exennpts projects "iiivolving only feasibility orplaiming studies for liossible futute actions which the agency, board, or cointnission has not approved, adopted, or Ainded does not reqttire the preparation of an EIR or r>egative declaration but does xequire consideration of enviroerital factors."
IIACI(GROUND: The ZoninB Code, together with the City's General Plan, Specific Plans and Zoning Map, divides the City into various geographical use zones. I,and use perinission tables in Section 11,2'L.030 of the Zoui.rzg Code establish the> uses to whicli laiid in eacli zone ynay be put, Table 11.21-3 spe,cif'xeis uses allowed in theUrbanMixed-Usezones,aitdTable[I,2I-4specLfiesusesallowdintheCotntnercialIndustrialzones. Under those tables, warel'iousixtg is permitted (subject to issuance by the City of a Conditional Use Permit) in the hidustrial Fiex (IF), Light Industrial (LF), Light Manufacturirxg (M2) atxd Heavy Manufacturing (M3) zones, I-l:owever, footnote 18 in Table 11.21-3 and Footnote I[ I in Table 11,21-4 each limits tJhe size and placement of warehouses witliin those zones as follows:
'r,imited to maximitn buiiding area of fifteen thousiuid sqxiare feet and is not permitted along street frontage (would liave to be arear use)."
These footnotes were :uxcorporated into the Soutb Gate Municipal Code in 2015 wlien the Coinn'iissioxi and Council coltegively adop'te,d a comprehensive update to the Zoniiyg Code, Tl'ie Platining Commissioners aiid City Council Members wlto were in office at that time felt the inclusion of these footnotes was necessary to preveait a 2 A8U772,0860893 4880-790A6343vl

proliferation of large warehouses in the City which would cause detrimental impacts to the cornm'tuxity, Recently, landowners and developers have expressed to Staff (aiid iit some cases to Plaiiiiing Commissioners and to City Cotincil Members) the Iandowners' and developers' opinions tliat tliei Iiiitatio'ns imposed by these footnotes are oyitdated, are unduly restiotiye, and create limitations inconsistent with tlie current business practices of the wareliousixig industiy, They have aslced the City to consider eliminating the footnotes entirely, or atleast modifying them to loosen therestrictions and allowthe construction and operation of Jar@erwarehouses in the City,
ANALYSIS:
In response to those requests, Staff is presenting to the Conssion two separate resolutions. Resolution No. 2024-02A, if adopted by the Commission, would recoinrnend to the City Council that the Zoning Code be atnei'idedtodeletethosefootnotesfromthelandusepeirmissiontables, ResolutionNo,2024-02B,ifadoptedby the Commission, would direct 8taffto evaLt'iatethe effects ofmodifying or entireiy elirninating thefootnotes, StaffdoesnotrecoendtheadoptionofResolutionNo,2024-02A, Deletionofthesubjectfootrxotesfromthe ZorffngCodewouldeliminatethel5,000squarefootsizerestrictionaliplicabletowarehousesiutlieCity, Absent tliat restriction, the only limitations on warehouse size would be those generally applicable to other biildings in the respective zones imposed by things such as setback requirements, height limtations, and floor-area-rado requiremeaits, This will undoubtedly lead to the consttuction of warehouses in tlie City which are xnuch larger thantliosecurrentlyfoundintlieCity. }Vithout:htherstudyorotberlimitations,Staffisuiabletopredict-or advise the Cotnrnission [18 to -ttte effects such larger warehouses might have on traffic, intrastructure, noise and ot]'ier matters important to residents of the City.
Resolution No, 2024-02B is presented as an altetnative to Resolution No. 2024-02A. Rather tlian ResolutionNo, 2024-(12A"s "a!l or notliing" approacli of elitninating or tetaining the curyent restrictions on warebouge size and locationrestrictions, Resolution No, 2024-02B provides an oppoztunity for Staff to evaluate whether and to wl'iat extent those restiictions should be eliminated, modified or retained, Resolution No. 2024-02B would allow Staff toreturn to tlie Commission at a later date vvith an analysis of beinefits and detriments ofmodifying or clirnimting tliose restrictions, as well as wliether additionaldevelopment standards or operating practices should be imposed in connection with the constructioii and operation of larger warehouses, In this way, the Cotnmtssion can malce amore informed decision,
CONCLUSION: If the Commission believes the tutrent restrictions 011 warehouse size Hd 10(;31i@H ByB unreasonabte aiid should be changed, Staff recomtnends adopting Resolutioii No, 2024-02B but not Resolution No, 2024-02A, If the Comtnission believes the current restrictions a.te reasonable, Staff recommends tltat both resolutioiis be disapptoved and neither be adopted.

RE: PLANNING COMMI88ION APRIL 16, 2024 MEF,TING - ITBM#2 To Whom itMay Concern:
This letter is submitted by the City of Cudahy (Cudaliy) in response to :[tem #2 of the April 16, 2024 Planning Commission agendawliich contains two resolutioris that propose to either (I) remove a size restriction for warehouses in Chapter 1[.21 of the South Gate Muntcipal Code ('(SGMC") throughtlie adoption of aii ordinance (Resolution No. 2024- 02A);or(2)directstafftostudytheissuefurther(ResolutionNo.2024-02B). Theadoption ofResolution No, 2024-02A would recommend to the City Council the adoption of a proposed ordinance that would eliminate the size limitations inthe City's Urban Mtxed Use Zones and Commet'cial Industrial Zones. This would include:
* Light Manufacturing (M2) Zone
* Heavy Manufacturing (M3) Zoi'ie
* Industrial Flex gF) Zone
"I'he proposed ordinance is inconsistent with tlie Cityas (ieneral Plari which aims to reduce, limit, axid evetx pliase ocit indust'rial uses wit the City in order to provide more diversejob opporhinities axid create more vibrantcommunities that present opportunities for more open space, recreation, and pedestrian activity, Additionally, the proposed ordinancc would increaselhe reasonably foreseeable environinental impacts (noise, yibration, air pollution, high levels of tmck traffic) associated with warehousing and distribution uses, which have not been analyzed pursuantto CEQA.
I. Incoxisistencywith tlie General Plan
Pa@ejl
54 116
Tlie proposed ordixxance is inconsistent with tlie General Plan, iriclusive ofthe Comn'iunity Design Element which recognizes that "tbe City has a large number of industrial uses [and] there is a lack ofa diversity of other job-producing uses, namely office atid taesearch and deve[opment uses [tJiatl could lielp diversify the economy and advaiice tlieeconomic position of city raqidents,'
In order to provide a higlier diversity of employment opportunities, the General Plan also seeks to transfoitn the City's "wide variety of industrial, warehouse and distribution areas,.,to allowforhigherintensity,jobproducinguses, Desirednewusesincludeanexpansionoftlie ligtt industrial/flex condominium-style development that builds on and supports the boutiqcie labeication industy cirtently present in the City, office uses arid research and devetopment rises[]"2 but does riot suppoit the proliferation of warehousiiig uses.
A. GerieralPlanNeighborhoodDesiBnatioti
Several of the City's Commercial Industrial and Urban Mixed Use Zones, as shown in Figure 1, below are also designated in the General Plan as Neighborhood Overlay Corridors. "The General Plan seeks to trat'isfottn Corridors from the features that divide tlie community into areas tliat bring people together. Corridors shou[d be atiractive, contain a diverse mix of uses - including residenttaJ uses than currently exist- provide safetavel for pedestrians, bicycles, transit vehicles arid automobiles, and enable people and goods to circulate with rela(ive ease," Figure 1.

C, Applicable General Plan Policies
The proposed ordinance would also be inconsistent with the following General Plan objectives, goals, and policies:
o ObjectiveCD2.4:Providelandforadiversilyofjobproducingusesthroughoutthe City.

II. Failxire to Comply witlt CEQA's Reqtiirements
Page l 3

CEQA requires an analysis of a project's reasotiaL+ly foreseeabIe directaitd indirect environmerital impacts, Staff%aat'ialysis and conclusions re(3arding the determination that Resolution No, 2024-02A does not constitute a "project" pursuant to CEQA is incorrect as a iriotteroflawandasamatteroffact, Staffconchidesthatan"aipendmeritofazoningcode ordinance only constitcites a 'project' ui'ider CEQA if it has tlie potential for resulting in direct and ii'idirect physica( changes to the eiivironment, perl4 CCR § 15378," In fact, zoriing ordinances are within CEQA's purview when they have a reasonably foreseeable dtrect or indirect physical chaiige to the environment." As discussed in further detail below, the proposed ordinance cotistitutes a "project" for the purposes of CEQA.

Ms, Glaze:
This fiim represents South Gate Owner, L.P. ("Owner") in coi'mection with its ownership and development of the approximate 27,1 acre property ("Property") located at 5037 Patata Street in the City of Soutb Gate ("City"), The Property was formerly occupied by Armstrong World Industries andutilized the 240,000 square-foot ("SF") building forthe maiiufacture andproduction of residential and coimnercial linoleum floor tiles and resilient flooring which involved the use of asbestos and other chemicals that led to significant contamination on the Propeity. In coordination with the Department of Toxic Substances and Coritrols ("DTSC"), Owner has spent significant time and resources remediating thepoIluted and abandoned Propeity to eliminatethe prior hazardous conditions and enable its redevelopment for the proposed Project.
Owner is in the process of entitling the Property for development of a proposed 435,420 SF regional headquarters and distribution facility and an approximately 12,777 square foot ttvck maintenance building ("Project") to be leased to Anheuser-Busch. The Project, which wiIl be constructed to LEED-Gold standards witli roof-top solar panels aiid extensive EV-charging infrastructure and operational capacity, is anticipatedto introduce over 250-300 high-paying jobs and will generate significant revenue for tl'ie City among other substantial public benefits set forth in the Project's Development Agree.inent, such as $250,000.00 for off-site roadway improvements, The City's Zoning Code authorizes the Project's rises, s'i'ibject to issuance of a conditional use peimit ("C{JP") and cotnpliance with other applicable City development standards and reguJations. (I'ables I 1,21-3; 11,21-4.) However one development staiidard which cannot be met is a 15,000 square-foot ("SF") size limitation on new industrial wareliouse uses located in the City's Urban Mixed-Use and Commercial Industrial Zoi'ies, including tlie M3 (I-Ieavy Industrial) zone governing the Property.

effectively prohibit t}ie Project (and all of the revenue and community benefits tliat it would bring to the City) as well as preclude all other warehouse facilities capable ofrneetingthe rieeds of the current industrial market. Owner's brolcers have stated that there is limited demand for facilities under 15,000 SF and these facilities generate very few jobs, comtnunity and economic benefits, On April I6, 2024, the City Plaxmng Commission considered tlie adoption of Resolution No. 2024-02A (the "Resolution") which would amend the City's Zoning Code to remove the 15,000 SF1imitationonnewwarehouseusesintheCity. TheAgendaBillpreparedbyCityStaff recornrnended denial of the Resolution based upon, among other things, the unfounded arid inaccurate statementthat elimiiiation ofthe 15,000 SF cap "will undoubtedly lead to the consttuction of warehouses in the City wlffeh are much larger than those currently found in the City." (Aprill6, 2024, Agenda Bill, p, 3.) After considering public testimony from Owiier and other local business owners in support of the Resolution, the Planning Commission voted 3-2 to adopt Staff's recorninendation and deny the Resolution.
In accordance with Section 11,50.040 of the City's Zoning Code, the purpose of this letter is to formally appeal the Planning Commission's action denying the Resolution to the City Council,l Tl'ie Plaming Commission's denial of the Resolution should be vacated and overturned by the City Council for the following reasons, wliich Owner reserves the right to supplement and/or amend prior to or duriiig tlie subsequent public hearing on the matter,
1. The Adoption of the Resolution and Removal of the 15,000 SF Cap Will Increase The City's Flexibihty to Consider New and Renovated Logistics and Warehouse Projects.
Contraiy to the statements and commentaiy provided by Cit5r Staff and members of the Plamiing Coinmission at tlie April 16, 2024, meeting, the adoption of the Resolution and elimination of the 15>000 8F cap on new warehouse uses wouldincrease the City's flexibility a'nd discretion to consider potential new warehorise developments. The scope of new warehouse developments would include proposals to renovate and modernize existing, outdated watel'iouse facilities that are no longer capable of meeting the needs of the modern industrial sector and thereby enable the City to "keep up" with the evolviiig comtnercial and industrial :inarket. This increased flexibility will ensure that the City retains a vibrant and robust, revenue-generating commercial and industrial market that is anchored by facilities, such as the Project, that incorporate the most up-to- date EV-charging and solar energy infrastructure and are constnictedptirsuantto the most-stringent environmental building standards, sucli as LEED Gold certification.
Under the current Zoning Code, the City does not even have the ability to consider new industrialprojectsinvolvingawarehouseusethatexceedsl5,000SF. Asaresult,theCityis deprived of the opportimity to weigh all of the significant monetaiy and community benefits (increased property tax reveniie, off-site public infrasttucture and improvements, Development ' Enclosedpleasefuidacheckfor$2,364,00aspaymentfortheappealfee. 63 125

Agreement public benefits, poixit-of-sale revenue, trickle-down benefits to local restaurants and retail businesses that would be patronized by employees azxd customers ofthe projects, etc.) that would flow from the approval of such projects against the potential artd/or perceived adverse impacts, In doing so, the Planning Cominission and/or City Council would be able to make an informed decision regarding whether the proposed project is in the best interests of the City, Thus, the adoption of tlie Resolution and amendment of the Zoning Code to remove the 15,000 SF cap for new iixdustrial warehouses would achially empower City legislators and Plaruiing Staff to be more actively involved in determinirig - and implementing - the preferred lorzg-term vision for the City, As of now, the City is handcuffed in its ability to decide the types of development tliatwill ultimately be of greatest use and benefit to City residents and the local business community,
2. The City Will Retain Discretion to Evaluate tlie Benefits and Potential Impacts of New Warehouse Uses on R Project-By-Project Basis Pursuant to tlie Current CUP Approva) and Appeal and CEQA Environmental Review Processes.
As noted above, tl'ie Agenda Bill and verbal presentatioxi by City Staff at the Aprill6, 2024, meeting included the false declaration thatremoval of the 15,000 SF size limitation on new warehouse facilities would "undoubtedly" lead to the proliferation of new, signi&antly larger industrial warehouse facilities in the City. The implication of this patently incorrect and unfounded statement is that adoption of the Resolution would somehow "open the floodgates" to new indushial wareliouses that wouldproliferate tbroughout the City and that City Staff and legislators, including the Planning Cornmissiori and City Couiicil, would l'iave no ability to regulate, condition or deny such projects. This implication is completely false and incorrect.
First, all new proposedwarehouse uses wouldrequire the approval and issuance of a C{JP.
A CUP is a discretionary permit that "may only be approved by the plmining commission or city council in accordance with applicable zone requirements and in compliance with [the Zoiiing Coded," (Min, Code, § 11.52.020.) In order to grant a CUP, the Planning Commission and/or City Coinicil is required to make certain mandatory findings, including that: (i) approval of tlie C{JP is consistent with and will not adversely affect the City's Zoning Code and General Plari; (ii) the design of the proposed development and permit conditions are "compatible with the existing mid future land uses of the applicable zone"; and (iii) approval of the CUP "would not result in detrimental impacts to adjacent properties or to the character or fiu'iction of the neighborhood." (Mun, Code, § 11,52,030,) Subject to these findings, the City Planning Commission and/or City Council have the sole and exclusive discretion to approve, approve subject to certain condit'ons and requirements, or deny a proposed warehouse project. While l'iaving the discretion to deny uses wl'iich could be consideredto be detixnental to adjacent propetties, the City also is empowered, through the CUP process, to impose conditions of approval on the Project to address the impacts of warehouse projects.

hi addition, all discretionary projects, such as those requiring CUPs, are subject to environmental review under the Califon'iia Environmental Quality Act (Pub, Resources Code, §§ 21000, et seq.) ("CEQA") except for those that qualify for a categorical exemptiotx. (Pub.
Resources Code, F:3 21080(a),) The level of environmental review under CEQA generally depends on, amorig other things, the exact nature of the project being proposed, whether the Site will be developed in pliases or as a single project, and whether the lead agency deteimines that an Environn'iental Impact Repoit ("EIR") is required rather than a mitigated negative declaration ("MND")orexemption. Ultimately,theleadagency-whichinthiscasewouldbetheCity - makes the final deteri'iiination about whether an MND, EIR, or exemption will be reqriired for a project.
The CEQA environmental review process - via aii MND or EIR - is rigorous, thorough and involves a comprehensive analysis of all of a project's potential environmental impacts, including traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas, noise, aesthetics, landuse, water and other impact areas, as well as suggesting mitigation measures that can be imposed to help reduce or eliminate any impacts tl'iat are fouiid to be significant. As with the CUP process, and as a second level of review and "check" on future warehoxise development, the City Planning Commission and/or City Council retain absolute discretion to approve or deny aproposed warehouse project based upon its potential adverse enviroi'imental impacts.
Finally, iti the event that a warehouse project is approved by the Plmming Commission aiid involves some level of public controversy or concern, there is a tliird level of discretion andreview in that the Platu'iing Cornrnission's actiori approving the subject project can be appealed by any ii'iterested party or "opponent" to the City Council. (Muti. Code, § 11.50,040.) The appeal will be heard by the City Council at a noticedpublic hearing during which the CAby Council lias exclusive discretion to affirm tbe Planning Commission's decision, reject or overnile the decision, or impose further conditions on the project beyond tliose imposed by the Planning Coission in granting the original CUP approval. (M'in. Code, % 11,50,040; 11.52.0!10(C)-(B).) Thus, contrary to the statements andrepresentations by City Staff and inthe Aprill6, 2024, Agenda Bill, the approval of the Resolution andremoval of the 15,000 SF cap would result in no loss or reduction in tlie City's discretion to consider and approve or deny future warehouse projects or otherwise cause an uncheclced or unregulated proliferation of massive new warehouse projects in the City. The City - and the City alone - retains tlie discretion to determine what industrial projects over 15,000 SF get approved (if any) and under wliat conditions or restrictions. As noted above, tl'ie adoption ofthe Resolution and retnoval of the 15,000 SF size limitation would have tlie effect of increasing the Plaiu'iing Coinmission's and City Cotuxcil's flexibility and opportunity to determine tl'ie scope of new warehouse desrelopment in the City. 65 127

SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF REMOTE PARTICIPATION OPTIONS FOR CITY
COUNCIL AND COMMISSION MEETINGS
PURPOSE: To present the City Council with infonnation on virtual platfonn options for public participation at City Councill and Coinmission meetings, including the costs involved and factors weighing in favor and against such use.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive report and provide direction.
FISCAL IMPACT: Preliminary cost estimates for additional staffing are $12,180 per year with an annual Zoom subscription costing approximately $7,000 per year.
BACKGROUND: The City Council directed the City Manager to provide infon'nation detailing the costs and impacts of bringing back a call-in or virtual participation platform feature at City Council and Commission meetings.
Coini'nencing in Marcl'i2020, amid implementation of COVID-19 restrictions, the Governor issued various executive orders relaxing in-person participation requirements under the Brown Act and pen'nitting cities in California to provide remote features such as Zoom for public access and participation at public meetings. These temporary remote features were used by both members of the public and elected and appointed officials to attend meetings remotely. As COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed and eventually lifted, the Governor's executive orders ended, requiring cities to comply with pre-COVID-19 Brown Act requirements. Thus, the use of remote public participation platfori'ns at public agency meetings became voluntary rather than mandatory, and somewhat extinct. In fact, most cities in the region have discontinued remote access and moved back to in person meetings like they existed prior to March 2020. In a review of Gateway Cities in our region, 28 of the 32 cities had returned to in-person public participation attendance. Only 4 have retained remote/zoom call-in features.
Anecdotally, there are several varied reasons why cities may have eliminated remote public participation platfori'ns from public meetings. Ai'nong those reasons are cost related issues. Virtual meetings, in which members of the public are in person and appear remotely, tend to consume 1 129
more ti'i'ne. While there is a clear benefit to a com+'nunity member being able to participate remotely at apublic meeting, tliere is also arisk of abuse of tecl'inologyplatforins by those wishing to disrupt or delay public agency proceedings. It is difficult to deten'nine or limit a public speaker, liaving already corni'nented once, from subsequently calling back in under a different alias to provide additional comi'nents.
Other cities have simply balanced the interest of encouraging public participation by in person attendance against more anonymous and perhaps less transparent and respectful call-in or virtual attendance. There are also balances tliat have compared the ease of participation against the added impact of requiring staff members to attend longer meetings, only to be expected to return the next day at 7 am to complete a 10-hour workday. Certainly, the trend among cities appears to be to returntopre-COVIDl9requirementsundertheBrownAct. Indeed,whiletheLegislaturerecently amended the Brown Act, those amendments did not require cities to continue providing remote access at public meetings.
As a further sign of backing away from remote participation, recent amendments to the Brown Act under Assembly Bill 2302 have limited the ability of elected officials to attend city council meetings remotely. AB 2302 limits the use of remote features for City Council members to only certain circumstances, mostly health related, thus predominantly mandating in person attendance except in rare circumstances. For cities that meet two times per month City Council members shall not attend in a remote fashion more than a maximum of 5 times per year, The only exception is for emergencies. The Brown Act does not place similar restrictions on remote access as it pertains to the public.
The City Council received infon'nation last year on retaining remote call-in features and determined they would cease providing remote access for cornrnent. Instead, they invested in video equipment and added the live video feature to Council and Commission meetings. Now that video equipment is installed, all City Council and Coini'nission meetings are viewable online, both live and in recorded fori'n.
A benefit of remote access for public coinment using a Zoom or similar platfon'n is that it provides a way for corni'nents to be received from public members wlio are not physically present or able to attend meetings. Currently, those who are unable to attend in person can still participate by sending comments ahead of the meeting to be read into the record during the meeting. In this fashion, those not in attendance are treated in a material similar fashion as is they were in person.
As stated above, drawbacks of providing a Zoom or call-in feature include the cost of additional staffing that would need to be added to handle the calls or Zoom requests as the Clerk and Commission assistants currently are fully tasked with existing duties that include supporting the meeting, timing comments, reading email comments, ensuring the video feed is operating correctly, and handling presentations. An estimate of additional labor costs is $12,180 for staffing to cover all Council and Comi'nission meetings. An additional cost if Zoom was to be used for remote access is the approximately $7,000 cost for a City Zoom license.
An additional drawback is due to problems that can occur with connectivity for either Zoom or a call-in feature if the system disconnects as has happened numerous times wlien the City did use 2 130
Zoom during tlie implementation of COVID 19 restrictions. If the system disconnects or audio issues occur tliis could constitute a situation where it could require the meeting to be stopped and possibly canceled ifthe public lost tlieir ability to co'inment remotely, or if a public member feigned that the coitu'nunication was lost.
Staff maintains that tlie current approach at the City strikes a sufficient balance between the need to conduct tl'ie city's business while still allowing for public coinment. In fact, the City provides far more opportunity for the public to corninent on both agenda and non-agenda items tliat what is required under the Brown Act, or is permitted in many other facilities. For example, the City does not limit the number of speakers or the aggregate time allocated for public comment. It also does not require the public to fill out a card identifying the agenda item in advance upon which the public member wishes to coinrnent.
Staff seeks 'further guidance from the City Council on which direction to consider, namely whether to implement a remote participation option, or to keep its current practice in place without further change.
