ITEM NO. --15
First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Articles XI ("Purchasing") and XIII ("Awarding Public Works Contracts") of the South Pasadena Municipal Code Pertaining to Purchasing Policies
It is recommended that the City Council read by title only for the first reading, waiving further reading, and introduce an ordinance of the City Council of the City of South Pasadena, California, Amending Section 2.99-29 of Article XI Relating to "Purchasing Procedures", and Sections 2.99-35 and 2.99-37 of Article XIII "Awarding Public Works Contracts" of Chapter 2 of the South Pasadena Municipal Code.

Background
The City of South Pasadena has perennially received audit findings with regards to the lack of financial policies and procedures. In Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the City, through the approval of the Finance Commission and City Council, secured the services of Management Partners to perform an independent analysis of the Finance Department's workflow/activity and provide recommended/updated policies for the following processes: General Accounting, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing and Water Billing. These policies either did not exist or had not been updated since 1987.

Recent History
In fiscal year 2021-2022, the City secured the services of Management Partners to create comprehensive financial policies and make recommendations to the Finance Commission and ultimately the City Council. Management Partners held meetings with staff to review workflow/activity and ascertain appropriate policies and procedures given the City's logistics and staffing. Management Partners then finalized their recommendations and, in conjunction with staff, presented recommendations to the Finance Commission at the April 28, 2022 meeting. The City Council received a presentation by Management Partners at the City Council meeting on June 1, 2022. At that meeting, the City Council also received recommendations from the Finance Commission. The City Council voiced supported the Finance Commission's lower threshold increases and requested that some additional wording and modifications be made to the policy. The City Council adopted the policy, with amendments, at the 15 - 1

regularly scheduled City Council meeting of September 7, 2022. As part of the 2022 Finance Policies and Procedures, pages 9-22 addressed policies specific to the procurement and award of contracts for good, services, professional services, and certain public works contracts.

The Purchasing Policy establishes efficient procedures for the purchase of goods and services, exercises positive control over purchases, clearly defines authority for the purchasing function, and assures the quality of purchases. The changes in this Purchasing Policy also makes revisions to the purchasing thresholds that were established in 1997, 2001, and 2016 by Ordinances No’s. 2048, 2096, and 2299, respectively.

On September 7, 2022, the City Council adopted the 2022 Finance Policies and Procedures in order to, among other things, establish rules and regulations to establish efficient procedures for the purchase of supplies, services and equipment at the lowest possible cost commensurate with quality needed, to exercise positive financial control over purchases, to clearly define authority for the purchases function, and to assure the quality of purchases. Pages 9-22 of the Finance Policies and Procedures are included as Attachment C (“Purchasing Policy”).

On November 2, 2022, Councilmember Diana Mahmud asked that the Purchasing Policy be brought back for slight amendments as well as the ordinance relating to “Purchasing Procedures”. She asked for the consideration of giving her time to make suggested amendments that would assist the Policy and Ordinance with being in greater line with respect to the Public Contract Code.

Discussion/Analysis
Tonight, staff is proposing the 1st reading of the ordinance and the final requested changes to the Purchasing Policy. Councilmember Mahmud’s recommendations are red-lined in the attached Policy and Ordinance.

The change in purchasing thresholds are summarized in Table 2 in the Policy, which is presented here:

2. Act to procure for the city at least expense and/or best quality to the city the needed quality in equipment, supplies, nonprofessional services or services not involving peculiar ability;

3. Where competitive bidding is required, ensure that it is conducted with full and open competition and in full compliance with applicable law. Where competitive bidding is not required, ensure that the City's procurement of services is undertaken in a fair and transparent manner, based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, at a fair and reasonable price.

Discourage uniform bidding, and endeavor to obtain as full and open competition as possible on all purchases;

4. Prepare and recommend to the city manager and city council rules governing the purchase of supplies, services and equipment for the city in accordance with best practices;

5. Keep informed of current developments in the field of procurement trends, purchasing prices, market conditions and new products;

6. Prescribe and maintain such forms as are reasonably necessary to effectively administer the operation of this section and other rules and regulations;

7. Oversee the disposal of surplus equipment and supplies that have become unsuitable for city use. Recommend the transfer of surplus or unused supplies and equipment between departments as needed, and the sale of all supplies and equipment which cannot be used by any department, or which have become unsuitable for city use.
(c) The responsibility of staff in other departments in support of the efficient and effective administration of the purchasing system may be identified through the purchasing policy.
(5) Filing of Estimated Requirements. Each city department shall file detailed estimates of their requirements in supplies, services and equipment in such manner, at such time, and for such future periods as the purchasing agent shall prescribe. (6) Exemptions from Centralized Purchasing. The purchasing agent may, in writing and with the approval of the city manager, authorize any city department to purchase or contract for specified supplies, services and equipment independently of the purchasing department, but the purchasing agent shall require that such purchases or contract be made in conformity with the procedures established by this section, and shall further require periodic reports from the department on the purchases and contracts made under such written authorization.
(7) Public Works Projects Exemptions. This section, except subsections (1) through (4) hereto, is expressly made inapplicable to bids for public works projects, governed by the procedures in Public Contract Code Sections 20100 and 22000 et seq. Public works projects shall be awarded according the procedures of Chapter, Article XIII, Awarding Public Works Contracts.
(8) Local Vendor Purchasing Preference. Local preference is the practice of procurement from South Pasadena vendors because they are also local taxpayers.

Purchases from South Pasadena vendors are strongly encouraged where competitive prices and quality exist. With all specifications and conditions equal except price, a preference will be given to in-city vendors equal to five percent of the quoted price when general fund monies are used for the acquisition. The rationale for local preference is that one percent of the sales tax on most acquisitions returns to the city general fund as revenue, effectively reducing the cost of acquisition. (9) Competitive Bidding
15 - 12
Error! Unknown document property name.
(a) Contracts resulting from competitive bidding will be awarded by the appropriate award authority based on the lowest responsible bidder who submitted a bid that was responsive to the solicitation request. A bid is considered to be responsive if it conforms in all material respects to the solicitation requirements; minor defects may be waived by the purchasing agent. A bidder is considered to be responsible if they possess the demonstrated ability, capacity, experience and skill to provide the goods and/or services required by the solicitation.
(b) Whether soliciting price quotations or conducting sealed bidding, it is a best practice to provide notice to as many qualified bidders as possible to ensure fair and open competition. It is the policy of the city that a minimum of three quotations must be solicited whenever possible; provided, however, all quotations may be dispensed with in an emergency, or where said goods and/or services can be obtained from only one source. With regard to emergency purchases, Public Contracts Code sections 1102 and 22050 may apply and if applicable, shall be followed.
(c) If fewer than three quotes are received, the using department must provide an explanation with the purchase requisition that good faith efforts were made to obtain the required number of quotations. The requisition must also include documentation of the good faith efforts, i.e., vendor “no bid” response, email(s) sent to prospective vendors, etc. Though professional services are exempt from competitive bidding under the City’s purchasing policy, proposals should be solicited from at least three sources to ensure best value and/or to comply with federal or state law as required.
(d) The city council may authorize purchase of supplies, equipment and services of a value greater than thirty thousand dollars without complying with the above procedures when in the opinion of the council, compliance with competitive bidding is not in the best interest of the city. (e) Conditions

1. Bid Security. When deemed necessary by the purchasing agent, bidders’ security shall be required. Bidders shall be entitled to return of bid security upon execution of the contract or upon the readvertisement for bids; provided, that a successful bidder shall forfeit his bid security upon refusal or 15 - 13

failure to execute the contract within ten days after the notice of award of contract has been mailed, unless the city is responsible for the delay. The awarding authority may, on refusal or failure of the successful bidder to execute the contract, award it to the next lowest responsible bidder. If the awarding authority awards the contract to the next lowest bidder, the bidder first awarded the contract shall forfeit only the portion of his security, which is equal to the difference between his bid and the bid of the next lowest responsible bidder. If the next lowest bidder is awarded the contract and he fails or refuses to execute the contract, he shall forfeit his entire bid security.

2. Bid Opening Procedure. Sealed bids shall be submitted to the purchasing agent, and shall be identified as bids on the envelope. Bids shall be opened in public at the time and place stated in the public notices. A tabulation of all bids received shall be open for public inspection during regular business hours for a period of not less than thirty calendar days after the bid opening.

3. Rejection of Bids. At its discretion, the awarding authority may reject any and all bids presented, and re-advertise for bids.

4. Tie Bids. If two or more bids received are for the same total amount or unit price, quality, service and delivery being equal, and if the public interest will not permit the delay of re-advertising for bids, the awarding authority may accept the one it chooses, or accept the lowest bona fide offer by negotiation with the tie bidders at the time of the bid opening.

5. Payment and Performance Bonds. The purchasing agent shall have authority to require a performance bond before entering a contract, in such amount as it shall be found reasonably necessary to protect the best interests of the city. If the purchasing agent requires a performance bond, the form and amount of the bond shall be described in the notice inviting bids.

6. Purchases of goods or services that can be obtained from only one source may be made by the purchasing agent without advertising and after approval by theawarding authority.

Draft Purchasing Ordinance
15 - 22

PURCHASING
A. Introduction
The purpose of this section is to provide information for procuring goods and services consistent with adopted policies and procedures and best practices. This section is intended to provide sufficient information to enable employees to be fully aware of and comply with City purchasing policies and to effectively participate in the purchasing system. This system was adopted to:
• Establish efficient procedures for the purchase of goods and services at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the quality needed.
• Exercise positive control over purchases.
• Clearly define authority for the purchasing function. • Ensure the quality of purchases.

The City’s purchasing system is codified in Articles XI (Purchasing) and XIII (Awarding Public Works Contracts) of Chapter 2 (Administration) of the South Pasadena Municipal Code (municipal code).

The City’s purchasing policy places an emphasis on competitive bidding to ensure best value in exchange for public funds, to facilitate fair and open competition, and to uphold the integrity of the purchasing system. However, there are alternatives to competitive bidding that may be used if appropriately justified, as explained in the Purchasing Related Programs, Procedures and Requirements subsection below.

B. Purchase Categories
City purchases generally consist of the following categories for which different procurement methods may apply.
• Goods. The purchase of goods consists of materials, equipment and supplies needed by any department, including those items purchased with City funds and furnished to contractors for use with public projects. For contracts providing a mixed procurement of goods and services, the Purchasing Agent shall make a determination which category shall apply based on the totality of the circumstances related to that procurement. • Services. City staff may require contracts for services, which fall into two categories:
 General Services. General services are defined as services rendered by independent contractors such as custodial, building/equipment maintenance and machinery/ equipment rental, excluding contracts to construct public projects.  Professional Services. Professional services are those rendered by engineers, architects, accountants, attorneys, doctors, and other individuals or businesses with specialized scientific, expert, technical or other skills of a similar nature. • Public Works Projects. Public works projects pertain to the construction, alteration, repair, painting, or improvement of any publicly owned, leased or operated facility, structure, building, road, or other public improvement of any kind, including demolitions, the construction and installation of drainage systems, lighting and signaling systems, sewer and water systems, and park and recreational facilities. (see Pub. Contract Code sec 22002(c)).

Maintenance required to preserve a public improvement is not considered a public work. (see Pub. Contract Code sec 22002(d)).
15 - 23
Public works projects are awarded in accordance with Article XIII commencing with section

2.99-34 and the requirements of the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA, Public Contract Code sections 22000 et seq.)
C. Purchasing Authorities, Roles and Responsibilities
The South Pasadena Municipal Code establishes the following authorities, roles and responsibilities associated with the purchasing system.

Purchasing Agent
The Finance Director is designated as the Purchasing Agent and may delegate purchasing responsibilities to another staff person. The Purchasing Agent is responsible for:
• Contracting for quality equipment, supplies and non-professional services at the least expense and/or best quality to the City.
• Where competitive bidding is required, ensuring that it is conducted with full and open competition and in full compliance with applicable law. • Where competitive bidding is not required, ensuring that the City's procurement of services is undertaken in a fair and transparent manner, based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, at a fair and reasonable price.
• Preparing and recommending purchasing policies and procedures in accordance with best practices.
• Prescribing and maintaining forms necessary to effectively administer the purchasing system.
• Keeping informed about procurement trends, market conditions, and new products to maximize value.
• Overseeing the disposal of surplus equipment and supplies that have become unsuitable for city use.

Other City Departments
To ensure that the purchasing system is efficiently and effectively administered, staff in City departments are responsible for:
• Preparing cost estimates of their purchase requirements. • Clearly identifying procurement needs and funding availability. • Submitting accurate and concise purchase order requisition forms. • Preparing and maintaining bidder’s lists, as requested or required. • Soliciting and evaluating bids and proposals as required. • Inspecting goods delivered and/or services performed in a timely manner to verify conformance with bid specifications and contractual obligations. • Authorizing payment for conforming goods and/or services. • Reporting surplus property to the purchasing agent for disposal.

Ability to Legally Bind the City
To exercise positive control over purchases using public funds, the ability to legally bind the City (award contracts, sign written agreements on behalf of the City, and approve purchase orders) is limited to the City Council, City Manager, Finance Director (Purchasing Agent) and department directors, in accordance with the purchase types and dollar thresholds in accordance with Section E 15 - 24
(Competitive Bidding and Contract Award Thresholds) below. Once codified by the City Council, those principles in Section E shall take full effect.

Unauthorized Purchases
Purchases not approved by the designated award authorities are unauthorized and do not constitute a valid charge against City funds. The City is under no obligation to pay vendors for unauthorized purchases, and employees who make or authorize such purchases without proper authority will be subject to disciplinary procedures in accordance with the City’s personnel policies, may be subject to criminal sanction, and may be required to provide reimbursement.

Encumbrance Requirement
Except in cases of emergency, or as approved by the City Manager, and later ratified by the City Council, the Purchasing Agent cannot issue a purchase order for goods or services purchased unless there is a sufficient budget appropriation against which the purchase would be charged. Emergency transactions may be subject to Public Contract Code Sections 1102 and 22050.

D. Ethical Conduct
All employees are responsible for impartially ensuring fair competitive access to procurement opportunities by responsible suppliers and contractors. City officers and employees are prohibited from having financial interests in contracts made by them or by any board or body of which they are members. (Gov. Code sec. 1090). Additionally, all employees will conduct themselves in a manner that avoids any impropriety, or appearance of impropriety, and that fosters the highest level of public confidence in the integrity of the City’s purchasing system.

1. Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest. No employee shall participate in a procurement when the employee knows:
a. The employee or employee’s spouse, domestic partner, dependent relative (dependent child, stepchild, parent, or stepparent) will benefit financially from the procurement, and/or
b. The employee or employee’s spouse, domestic partner, dependent relative (dependent child, stepchild, parent, or stepparent) is negotiating or has an employment arrangement contingent on or will be affected by the procurement.

Upon discovery of an actual or potential conflict of interest, an employee shall immediately withdraw from further participation in the procurement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, nothing in this policy shall abrogate the common law rule of necessity, or the statutory exceptions of remote interests and non-interests as expressed in Gov. Code sec. 1091 et seq.

2. Gifts and Gratuities. No City employee shall solicit, demand, accept or agree to accept a gift of goods or services, payment, loan, or employment offer presented, promised in return for, or in anticipation of favorable consideration in a City procurement. Unsolicited gifts sent to City employees by prospective or existing vendors shall follow the reporting requirements for public officials established by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) (https://www.fppc.ca.gov/)

3. Conduct with Vendors. Conduct with vendors who provide goods or services to the City shall be fair, open, and transparent. City employees must refrain from showing favoritism to vendors, safeguard confidentiality when required, and select vendors only on the basis of appropriate and fair criteria.

*Note: Award thresholds to be reviewed annually to account for changes in the economy and/or consistency with industry trends
**Note: Qualifications Based Selection methods are explained in the Best Value Procurements section below.

Prohibition on Splitting
Purchases of goods and services cannot be split or separated into smaller components to avoid the City’s competitive bidding requirements or more rigorous purchasing procedures. The only exception to this requirement would be to comply with diversity and inclusion goals required by federal or state grants.

Competitive Bidding Procedures
Whether soliciting price quotations or conducting sealed bidding, it is a best practice to provide notice to as many qualified bidders as possible to ensure fair and open competition. It is the policy of the City that a minimum of three quotations must be solicited whenever possible.

If less than three quotes are received, the using department must provide a written explanation with the purchase requisition to the awarding authority that good faith efforts were made to obtain the required number of quotations. The requisition must also include documentation of the good faith efforts, i.e., vendor “no bid” response, email(s) sent to prospective vendors, etc.

The competitive bidding dollar thresholds shown below apply specifically to goods and general services as defined above. While professional services are exempt from competitive bidding under the City’s purchasing policy, proposals should be solicited from at least three sources to ensure best value and/or to comply with federal or state law as required. 15 - 26
Purchases up to $2,500 (Over the Counter)
For purchases up to $2,500 for goods and/or general services, written quotations are not required but are strongly encouraged. The award authority is granted to the department director.

Purchases Between $2,501 and $10,000 Department Directors (Open Market Procedure) For purchase of goods and /or general services between $2,501 and $10,000 written quotations are required. Written quotations must be submitted to the department director, and routed to the Purchasing Agent for final verification. The award authority is granted to the department director.

Purchases Between $10,001 and $30,000 Purchasing Agent (Open Market Procedure) For the purchase of goods and/or general services between $10,001 and up to $30,000 written quotations are required, to be solicited by written notice inviting quotations. Written quotations will be reviewed by the Purchasing Agent for final verification. The award authority is granted to the purchasing agent.

Purchases Greater than $30,000 (Formal Sealed Bidding)
Purchases greater than $30,000 require sealed bidding using the City’s standard bidding template(s) and associated product specifications and/or scope of services. All purchases greater than $30,000 must be approved by the City Council, after having been reviewed and authorized to proceed by the department director, Purchasing Agent, and City Manager.

Notification to prospective bidders must be provided by issuing a notice inviting bids. This must be published at least ten days before the date of bid opening in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. The notice inviting bids must include the following:
• General description of the items to be procured,
• Information on how to obtain the bid document and associated specifications, and • Time and place for the bid opening.

The notice inviting bids must be sent to a bidder’s list, if one has been prepared and maintained for the items being procured.

Bidder’s Security
When required, bidders must submit a bid security (bid bond) in an amount not to exceed 10% of the bid price, in further accordance with the instructions to bidders in the City’s standard bidding template(s). A bid bond is a guarantee by a bidder that they will execute a contract if deemed to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This entitles the City to compensation if the low bidder fails to execute a contract and the City must award a contract to a higher bidder. (The entitlement is the difference between the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and the bidder ultimately awarded a contract.)
Bid Opening Procedure
Unless otherwise specified, bids will be publicly opened by the City Clerk at the time and place stated in the bid notice, with each bid read aloud, and an apparent low bidder announced. If a bid bond was required as part of the solicitation requirements, the staff member opening the bids must verify that it was received for each submitted bid (a bid submitted without a bid bond, if required, cannot be accepted).
15 - 27
Following the bid opening, a bid tabulation sheet must be prepared and available for public inspection as soon as practical and in accordance with public records disclosure requirements.

Lowest Responsible Bidder
Contracts resulting from competitive bidding will be awarded by the appropriate award authority based on the lowest responsible bidder who submitted a bid that was responsive to the solicitation request. A bid is considered to be responsive if it conforms in all material respects to the solicitation requirements; minor defects may be waived by the Purchasing Agent.

A bidder is considered to be responsible if they possess the demonstrated ability, capacity, experience and skill to provide the goods and/or services required by the solicitation.

Best Value Procurements
Some procurements may require the use of a best value process where factors such as vendor qualifications and/or product or system functionality are evaluated in addition to low bid pricing.

This means that a higher price can be paid for goods and/or services if the overall best value to the City can be justified.

When using the best value procurement method, the solicitation documents must include descriptive information that explains the evaluation process and criteria being used to award a contract. This type of solicitations is typically done using a request for proposals (RFP) process.

Note: When conducting a best value solicitation, the submitted proposals are not publicly opened and information on pricing is not read aloud (the evaluation process is confidential until a contract is awarded).

Qualifications Based Selection Process
Federal and state laws require that contracts for professional services provided by architects, engineers, land surveying and construction management firms be awarded based on demonstrated competence through a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) process (see Section 4525 et. seq. of the California Government Code or its federal counterpart for federal aid projects, the Brooks Act). Such services shall be obtained at a fair and reasonable price. Staff will ensure that services are engaged on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications for the types of services to be performed.

Payment and Performance Bonds
Depending on the type of goods and/or services being procured, payment and/or performance bonds may be required. A payment bond ensures that the prime contractor pays its subcontractors.

A performance bond guarantees contractor performance in accordance with the City’s specifications and contract terms and conditions. Bonds are typically set at 100% of the bid price.

If bonding is required, the bond form(s) and specified amount must be described in the notice inviting bids and sample forms included in the solicitation document.

Bidder’s Lists
Establishing and maintaining lists of prospective bidders can be an effective way of facilitating open competition for planned purchases of goods and services where open market procedures and/or sealed bidding is required. Using departments are encouraged to establish/maintain such lists where 15 - 28
it makes sense to do so. In any event, using departments should keep records of prospective bidders who contact the City to specifically request being included on a bidder’s list for future business opportunities. The department should review and update the bidder’s list annually.

Note: Given the City’s participation in CUPCCAA, the Public Works Department is required to establish and maintain lists of qualified contractors, identified by category of work, and provide notice to them of bidding opportunities for construction projects.

Recordkeeping
Using departments must retain bid documents in accordance with the City’s records retention schedule.

Competitive Bidding Solution (E-Procurement)
As part of the City’s efforts to continually evaluate processes and procedures for efficiency improvements, Finance Department staff will partner with the City Clerk and other staff members to assess e-procurement solutions to determine whether such a system should be procured for administering competitive bidding processes. Any such system shall adhere to the purchasing requirements specified in this document.

F. Purchasing Related Programs, Procedures and Requirements This section of the manual includes information on purchasing-related programs and procedures.

Purchase Requisition and Purchase Order Required
Unless procured by City-issued purchasing card, all purchases of goods and services greater than $2,500 require the submittal of a properly completed purchase requisition form and approval of a purchase order by the Purchasing Agent. Purchasing agent shall develop workflow processes.

Use of Blanket Purchase Orders
Blanket purchase orders are term contracts (usually for one year) for goods and/or services that can be purchased as needed throughout the year, as opposed to purchase orders that are used for onetime purchases. Blanket purchase orders are typically used for operational supplies such as hand tools, equipment, parts for equipment, etc., but can also be evaluated for other supplies that are required by using departments.

Local Vendor Purchasing Preference
Purchases from South Pasadena vendors are strongly encouraged where competitive prices and quality are apparent. When general funds are used for a purchase, local (in-city) vendors will be given a five percent preference of the quoted price. The cost of doing business in the City of South Pasadena is acknowledged to be considerably higher compared to the cost of doing business outside of the city. As further rationale for local preference is that one percent of the sales tax on most acquisitions returns to the City General Fund as revenue, effectively reducing the procurement cost.

Cooperative Procurements (“Piggybacking”)
The use of cooperative purchasing programs is encouraged as a way to obtain goods and/or services by aggregating volume, securing value pricing and reducing administrative overhead. Cooperative purchasing methods generally include the use of another public entity’s (local or state) competitive bidding process to establish a contract with that agency’s awardee (also known as “piggybacking”). 15 - 29
Additionally, there are numerous regional and national purchasing cooperatives that offer cost free memberships to access databases of available goods and/or services. Examples of state contracts and purchasing cooperatives include:
• California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) of the Department of General Services (DGS), • OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (formerly U.S. Communities), • Sourcewell (formerly National Joint Partners Alliance), • NASPO ValuePoint (formerly WSCA-NASPO, or the Western States Contracting AllianceNational Association of State Procurement Officials), and • nppgov (national cooperative based in Seattle, WA)
Non-competitive Procurements
Non-competitive procurements represent purchases made without competitive bidding where it may otherwise be required. Examples of such procurements are provided below. • Sole source. A sole source procurement represents a purchase that can only be obtained from a single source.
• Single source. A single source procurement represents a purchase that can be obtained from more than one source, but a decision is made to source the purchase based on compelling factors such as price/value, degree of specialization or technical expertise, or product standardization.
• Cooperative procurements. Cooperative purchases leverage competitive bidding conducted by another agency, as specified above.

The City Manager or designee may authorize the purchase of goods and services up to $30,000 without competitive bidding if it is in the best interest of the City. The purchasing department must provide a written description explaining why competitive bidding is not in the City’s best interest.

Sourced purchases of goods and services greater than $30,000 must be approved by the City Council.

When submitting a purchase requisition for a sourced purchase, using departments must provide a written justification that explains why the procurement cannot be competitively bid.

Procuring Goods or Services During Emergencies
Emergency events that pose threats to life or property may require immediate purchases without complying with competitive bidding or other policy requirements. Requirements for making purchases in emergency situations are contained in Articles XI (Purchasing) and XIII (Awarding Public Works Contracts)
(https://www.codepublishing.com/CA/SouthPasadena/#!/SouthPasadena02.html). Emergency contracts may be subject to Public Contract Code Section 1102 and 22050.

Note: During declared disasters where the City may seek reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), many purchases must be procured using competitive bidding methods as established by the granting agency.

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing
In seeking to encourage the preservation and improvement of the environment, the City is establishing an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy (EPP). The overall objective of the EPP is to help ensure that City purchases:
15 - 30
• Conserve natural resources,
• Minimize environmental impacts such as pollution and use of water and energy (Energy Star and Low Emission Vehicles),
• Strive to procure electric vehicles whenever reasonably feasible with regard to its intended function,
• Eliminate or reduce toxins that create hazards to workers and the community, • Support strong recycling markets (recycled content paper), • Reduce materials that would otherwise go to a landfill, and • Increase the use and availability of products that protect the environment.

Additional EPP Resources
The Procurement Division of the California Department of General Services (DGS), as the lead state agency for implementing EPPs at the state level, can be used as a resource for best practice information on "buying green."
City Purchase Cards
The City has established a purchase card program whereby authorized employees may use a cityissued credit card for small dollar purchases of certain goods and services costing less than $1,000.

As part of the program, the Finance Department has a purchase card available for “checkout” with department director approval. Use of purchase cards is governed by the City’s Purchase Card Use Policy.

Usage of a city-issued credit card is determined by the City Manager or Finance Director based on operational need for employees who are granted purchasing authority. Cardholders are required to sign an agreement that acknowledges the obligation to comply with the purchase card and purchasing policies with the understanding that policy violations can lead to disciplinary measures, including termination of employment. Under no circumstances can the purchase card be used for personal purchases.

Note: Purchase card transactions are reviewed each month by the Finance Director to ensure policy compliance. Additionally, the purchase card program is periodically reviewed by an independent party.

Detailed information such as allowable/prohibited uses, cardholder responsibilities, authorizations, conditions of use and penalties for incorrect use are provided in the Purchase Card Use Policy.

Amazon Business Account
The City has an online business account with Amazon, Inc. to facilitate the purchase of goods and/or services costing less than $1,000 that are not available through other procurement means. Use of the Amazon business account is at the discretion of the Finance Director to employees who are granted purchasing authority.

Accountholders are required to sign an agreement that acknowledges the obligation to comply with all applicable City policies and procedures and will be subject to disciplinary procedures for policy violations, including termination of employment and/or criminal prosecution.

Prohibited uses include:
• Purchase of items for personal use,
• Splitting purchase transactions to circumvent policy requirements, 15 - 31
• Sharing the account with unauthorized users, and
• Failure to follow City purchasing policies.

Authorized account users must obtain transaction receipts and forward them, along with any required documentation, to the department head for approval.

Procurement Risk Management
Every purchase made by staff members carries an element of risk that must be mitigated through the use of contract terms and conditions that limit liability and/or through insurance requirements that vendors must meet to conduct business with the City.

Insurance Requirements
Typically, insurance is required for general services and public works construction where contractors are working on City property or in rights-of-way. Insurance is also required for professional services contracts.

Insurance is not typically required for goods purchases, unless there is a services component that requires onsite work such as installation or ongoing maintenance, or for off-site services or memberships.

The City Clerk is responsible for tracking insurance certificates and ensuring they are up to date.

However, the using department responsible for procuring the services must ensure that insurance requirements are initially met when establishing a contract. This includes verifying that insurance certificates include policy endorsement pages and appropriately insure the City. Given that contract terms rarely match up with insurance coverage terms, the points of contact for service contracts must collaborate with the City Clerk to ensure coverage is maintained at all times.

Making Purchases that Utilize Federal Grant Funding
When purchasing goods and services that utilize federal grants funds, the City is required to follow the Uniform Guidance requirements contained in the Code of Federal Regulations at 2 CFR 200.318 through 327.

Disposal of Surplus Supplies and Equipment
Using departments are required to notify the Purchasing Agent when supplies and equipment are no longer needed or have reached the end of their useful life. With the concurrence of the Purchasing Agent, if the item is not reassigned to another department then the using department has the authority to dispose of the item consistent with the Surplus Disposal Methods found in the Fixed Assets section of this manual. City Manager approval is needed for the sale of any surplus items for which the estimated value exceeds $10,000.

Depending on the estimated dollar value and other factors, the Purchasing Agent may require surplus supplies or equipment to be competitively bid or publicly auctioned.

Surplus items with no salvage value shall be disposed of in a manner that salvages recyclable components if practical.

No surplus supplies and equipment shall be purchased by any City officer, employee or agent, except at public auction conducted by a third party. Surplus items with no salvage value shall not be acquired by any City officer, employee or agent, except at public auction conducted by a third party. 15 - 32
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the approval of the department head and City Manager, sworn public safety personnel may acquire service firearms and other equipment used in their service with the City may at the time of retirement or time of end of useful life of such equipment acquire such equipment at the then fair market value for such item, as determined by the Purchasing Agent. 15 - 33

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CITY OF SOUTH PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE BY MODIFYING CHAPTER 9 ARTICLE I THEREOF ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE 2023 LOS ANGELES COUNTY BUILDING CODE (TITLE 26), ELECTRICAL CODE (TITLE 27), PLUMBING CODE (TITLE 28), MECHANICAL CODE (TITLE 29), RESIDENTIAL CODE (TITLE 30), AND EXISTING BUILDING CODE (TITLE 33) AND BY MODIFYING ARTICLE II

AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS AND DELETIONS THERETO

First Reading of Code Adoption to Modify Chapter 9 Article 1 and 2 November 16, 2022

Background
Every three years, the State adopts new codes (known collectively as the California Building Standards Code or “Title 24”) to establish uniform standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, electrical systems, plumbing systems, mechanical systems, and fire and life safety systems. Sections 17922, 17958 and 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code requires that the latest edition of the Title 24 be applied to local construction 180 days after publication by the state.

While State law requires local governments to enforce California Title 24, the law allows local governments to enact additional local amendments, but only where the City Council can make a finding that these amendments are based on local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.

The City of South Pasadena (City) historically has adopted the Los Angeles County version of the codes (Title 24 plus Los Angeles County amendments) based on local conditions that include Santa Ana Winds, wildfires, and greater earthquake risk. Adoption of the Los Angeles County Codes by the City ensures that the codes used by the City set the safest standard permitted by law; are consistent with codes throughout the region; and are readily available to architects, engineers, and contractors.

At the 2016 code adoption cycle, the administrative requirements were formally codified into the City Municipal Code. Since the administration rarely changes, the City only needs to adopt the chapters from each of the County Codes (Building, Residential, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Existing Building) that contain technical requirements. To avoid any confusion between the City Municipal Code sections and the building code sections, this year, a table is added at the beginning of Article I, showing how to read building code sections in reference to City Municipal Code.

Assembly Bill (AB) 1236 specifically adds Section 65850.7 to the Government Code, relating to local ordinances, to require cities to adopt by ordinance an expedited permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations.

AB 970 requires a city, county, or city and county to reduce the number of required parking spaces to accommodate the electric vehicle charging station, as specified. The AB 970’s provisions would become operative on January 1, 2022, but for every city, county, or city and county with a population of less than 200,000 residents, the Bill’s provisions would apply beginning on January 1, 2023.

Analysis
In accordance with the California Health and Safety Code (commencing with §18935), the State of California adopts and publishes a series of construction codes that become California Title 24.

State publishes an updated version of Title 24 every three years on July 1st. When published on July 1st, then the most current version of Title 24 is required to be enforced
16 - 2
First Reading of Code Adoption to Modify Chapter 9 Article 1 and 2 November 16, 2022

Page 3 of 4 ends

by local jurisdictions starting January 1st of the following year. The State published the 2022 version of Title 24 on July 1, 2022.

The codes published by the State are intended to set a minimum statewide code compliance standard. Local jurisdictions are never permitted to enforce a requirement that is less restrictive than Title 24. Local jurisdictions may enforce a more restrictive requirement, but only if the board or council for the local jurisdiction has made a finding that the more restrictive requirement is necessary based on a local climatic, topographic, or geologic condition.

Each 3-year code cycle, the City and County of Los Angeles work together to adopt a series of more restrictive requirements based on local conditions that include Santa Ana Winds, wildfires, and greater earthquake risk. The County Board of Supervisors then makes a finding based on documentation provided by County staff that justifies the more restrictive requirements as part of the current County Codes.

Since the 1990s the City of South Pasadena has adopted the Los Angeles County version of the Construction Codes. Adoption of the County Codes is done for the following reasons:

1. Adoption by the City ensures that the codes used by the City set the safest standard permitted by law.

2. The County Codes are used throughout the majority of Los Angeles County.

3. The County Codes are readily available for purchase by architects, engineers, and contractors.

Because the City cannot adopt a code that does not legally exist, the challenge for every code adoption cycle is that the City must wait for the County to complete their code adoption cycle before the City can start its code adoption cycle.

First reading of the County Codes was on October 18, 2022, and the second reading and adoption by the Board of Supervisors occurred at the meeting on November 15, 2022.

Adoption of the County Ordinances created the 2023 Los Angeles County Codes.

South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Article II of Chapter 9 now is dedicated for State Mandated Expedited Permitting, the name of the article changed to Expedited Permitting, and the name of Section No. 9.20 changed to Small Residential Rooftop Solar Energy Systems, Intent and purpose. New Section Nos. 9.30, 9.31, 9.32 and 9.33 have been added for Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations as mandated by AB1236 and AB970.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this ordinance. A fee resolution updating associated fees will be brought under separate action at a future City Council meeting. 16 - 3

ITEM NO.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Approving Final Parcel Map No. 72784 for 1974 Huntington Drive
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution approving final parcel map No. 72784 for 1974 Huntington Drive; and
2) Authorize its recordation with Los Angeles County.

Background
The parcel map related to this item was previously reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission in the preliminary Tentative Map stage, approving the Design Review and Tentative Parcel Maps. On January 26, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted P.C. Resolution No. 15-01 (Attachment 3) to build three residential condominium units and subterranean garage parking on a 10,559 square foot parcel located at 1974 Huntington Drive.

Analysis
Attachment 1 contains a resolution for the City Council to adopt Parcel Map No. 72784 for 1974 Huntington Drive. Parcel Map No. 72784 is included as Attachment 2. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Land Development Division has reviewed and approved the Final Parcel Map for mathematical accuracy, survey analysis, title information, and for compliance with the Subdivision Map Act. The Parcel Map has also been jointly reviewed by the City Community Development Department and Public Works Department for compliance with the conditions of approval and applicable City ordinances. Once City Council approves the Parcel Map, staff will facilitate the recordation by Los Angeles County.

Fiscal Impact
The City has adopted a fee, listed in the Master Fee Schedule, which pays for the staff time and resources necessary to review final parcel maps.

Required Findings for Approval - SPMC Section 36.510.070 (A) - The Planning Commission may approve a Tentative Map only when it shall first find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan, and that none of the findings for denial in Subsection C (below) can be made. The findings shall apply to each proposed parcel as well as the entire subdivision, including any parcel identified as a designated remainder in compliance with Map Act Section 66424.6.

As outlined in the Analysis section of the Planning Connnission Staff Report, the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan and is consistent with the zoning regulations applicable to the property. Therefore, this approval could be granted if the Supplemental findings for approval in SPMC Section 36,510.070 (B) can be made, and the Findings requiring denial in SPMC Section 36.510.070(C) cannot be made.

B. Supplemental Findings for Approval - SPMC Section 36.510.070 (B) In addition to the findings required for approval of a Tentative Map by Subsection· A. above, the Connnission shall not approve a Tentative Map unless it can also make the following findings, when they are applicable to the specific subdivision proposal.

1. Construction of improvements. It is in the interest of the public health and safety, and it is necessary as a prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area, to require the construction of road improvements within a specified time after recordation of the Parcel Map, where road improvements are required.

Not Applicable. Construction of road improvements is not required for the proposed project. The applicant is proposing construction of three (3) condominium units pursuant to an approved Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is subject to the conditions of approval, which require the applicant to replace all broken, damaged, or out-of-grade sidewalk, curb and gutter, asphalt/concrete to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy.

2. Condominiums. Any applicable findings required by Section 36.530.020 for condominium conversions.

Not applicable. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is not a condominium conversion. A condominium conversion is the conversion ofresidential real ,.,

property into a condominium project, a community apartment project, or a stock cooperative project, whereby Section 66427.1 of the Subdivision Map Act requires that tenants of such properties be notified of pending approvals to convert their units to condominiums. State Law also allows tenants of such properties to have an exclusive right to contract for the purchase of his or her respective unit upon the same terms and conditions that such unit will be initially offered to the general public or terms more favorable to the tenant.

The units which are the subject of this Tentative Map will be newly constructed, will have no tenants and as such are not yet habitable.

3. Dedications or exactions. Findings documenting the need for dedications or exactions, if dedications or exactions are required.

Not applicable. The proposed Tentative Map does not require dedications or exactions.

4. Waiver of Parcel Map. The findings required by Section 36.520.030 (Waiver of Parcel Map), if waiver of a Parcel Map has been requested with the Tentative Map application.

Not applicable. The applicant is not requesting a waiver of the proposed Tentative Map.

C. Findings Requiring Denial - SPMC Section 36.510.070 (C) A Tentative Map shall be denied if the Commission makes any of the following findings:

1. The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is not consistent with the General Plan or any applicable Specific Plan; The subdivision's design is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan's Medium Density development standards since it is for the construction of three (3) residential units in a Medium Density Residential district where triplexes are specifically allowed in conformance with all applicable Development Standards. The project for which the subdivision applies also complies with the applicable Development Standards and provisions of the Zoning Code for multi-family residential development. Public improvements are not required as a condition of this Tentative Map's approval.

2. The site is not physically suitable for the type or proposed density of development;
The subject site is 10,559 square feet (0.24 acres) in size. The project site for which the subject tentative map applies is suitable for the development. The entire development fits within the required front, side, and rear yard setbacks and within the maximum floor area ratio. Each of the three units provides adequate floor area and outdoor open spaces. Each unit has at least two ''

covered parking spaces and there will be two guest spaces. The subject site will provide efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
The proposed subdivision is located in an urban residential zone and the lot will be developed with three residential structures. It is not adjacent to any streams or rivers or to known wildlife or their habitat. Therefore there will be no damage or injury to fish and wildlife or their habitat as a result of this project.

4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health or safety problems;
The design of the subdivision is limited to three condominiums with associated parking and open spaces on a lot located in a medium-density residential zone. The Planning Commission previously approved a Conditional Use Permit for the project, which included a finding that the project would not be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the City. As such, the subdivision's design will nut cause serious health or safety problems.

S. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. This finding may not be made if the Commission finds that alternate easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record, or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and no authority is hereby granted to the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements of access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
There are currently no existing or proposed public easements to provide access through or use of the property. Therefore, the design of the subdivision will not conflict with any public easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision.

6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system would result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board;
The proposed subdivision will not create any additional units other than the three residential units approved for the project site by the Planning "

Commission. All City Departments reviewing the proposed project prior to Planning Commission approval of the conditional use permit for the project indicated the ability to support the project as presented. Therefore, no additional sewer service than currently provided is needed today to service the approved three residential units on the property. A sewer connection already exists on this lot. A 12 inch sewer line adequately provides sewer service to all properties on Huntington Drive.

7. A preliminary soils report or geological hazard report indicates adverse soil or geological conditions and the sub divider has failed to provide sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or the Commission that the conditions can be corrected in the plan for the development; or
Conditions of approval of the project approved by the Planning Commission require the applicant to submit a soils and/or geotechnical report for the project, prior to issuance of building permits. As pait of the plan check process, the City Engineer and Plan Checker will review that report to ensure that there are no adverse soils or geological conditions on the subject site before issuing any building permits. If the City Engineer and Plan Checker determine that the soils and/or geotechnical report indicate adverse or geological conditions may exist, a hearing shall be scheduled before the Planning Conunission to review the issue and detem1ine whether such adverse soil or geological conditions exist and whether this finding needs amendment in light of the soils and/or geotechnical report submitted.

8. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, any other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.

The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, Mnnicipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act.

SECTION 4: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report, Minutes, testimony presented at the public hearing, and other record of proceeding, the Planning Commission of the City of South Pasadena hereby approves Tentative Parcel Map No. 72784 (Project No. 1695-TPM), subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit "A," to subdivide one parcel of land located at 1974 Huntington Drive (Assessor Parcel No. 5321-008-016) into three (3) new condominium nnits.

SECTION 5: Any interested person may appeal this decision or any portion of this decision to the City Council. Pursuant to the South Pasadena Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing, and with the appropriate appeal fee, no later than fifteen (15) days, following the date of the Planning Commission's final action.

Analysis
Attachment 1 contains a resolution for the City Council to adopt parcel map No. 80319 for 203 Cedar Crest/204 Mockingbird Lane. Parcel Map No. 80319 is included as Attachment 2. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Land Development Division has reviewed and approved the final parcel map for mathematical accuracy, survey analysis, title information, and for compliance with the Subdivision Map Act. The parcel map has also been jointly reviewed by the City Community Development Department and Public Works Department for compliance with the conditions of approval and applicable City ordinances. Once City Council approves the parcel map, staff will facilitate the recordation by Los Angeles County.

Fiscal Impact
The City has adopted a fee, listed in the Master Fee Schedule, which pays for the staff time and resources necessary to review final parcel maps. 18 - 1

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

SOUTH PASADENA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 2: The Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with all findings to grant the Tentative Parcel Map for the project pursuant to South Pasadena Municipal Code Section 36.510.070, as follows:

1. Required Findings for Approval. The Planning Commission may approve a Tentative Map only when it shall first find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan, and that none of the findings for denial in Subsection C (below) can be made. The findings shall apply to each proposed parcel as well as the entire subdivision, including any parcel identified as a designated remainder in compliance with Map Act Section 66424.6.

The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan and is consistent with the zoning regulations applicable to the property as previously determined by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved the project and made all required findings for a Hillside Development Permit, Variance and Design Review Findings in their approval. Therefore, this approval could be granted if the Supplemental findings for approval in SPMC Section 36.510.070(B) can be made and the Findings requiring denial in SPMC Section 36.510.070(C) cannot be made.

2. Supplemental Findings. In addition to the findings required for approval of a Tentative Map by Subsection A (above), the Commission shall not approve a Tentative Map unless it can also make the following findings, when they are applicable to the specific subdivision proposal.
a. Construction of improvements. It is in the interest of the public health and safety, and it is necessary as a prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area, to require the construction of road improvements within a specified time after recordation of the Parcel Map, where road improvements are required.

Not applicable. The project is subject to road improvements that are part of the development conditions of approval that were approved by the Planning Commission for the two (2) condominium units approved through Design Review.
b. Condominiums. Any applicable findings required by Section 36.530.020 for condominium conversions.

Not Applicable. The proposed Tentative Map is not a condominium conversion. A condominium conversion is the conversion of residential real 18 - 12
203 Cedar Crest/204 Mockingbird Lane 2090-TPM
P.C. Resolution No. 18-09

Page 3 of 6 ends

property into a condominium project, a community apartment project, or a stock cooperative project, whereby Section 66427 .1 of the Subdivision Map Act Requires that tenants of such properties be notified of pending approvals to convert their units to condominiums. State Law also allows tenants of such properties to have an exclusive right to contract for the purchase of his or her respective unit upon the same terms and conditions that such unit will be initially offered to the general public on terms more favorable to the tenant. The project has not been built and complies with all development standards with the variance that was granted, thus not a condominium conversion. c. Dedications or exactions. Findings documenting the need for dedications or exactions, if dedications or exactions are required.

Not Applicable. The proposed Tentative Map does not require dedications or exactions.
d. Waiver of Parcel Map. The findings required by Section 36.520.030 (Waiver of Parcel Map), if waiver of a Parcel Map has been requested with the Tentative Map application.

Not applicable. The applicant is not requesting a waiver of the proposed Tentative Map.

3. Findings Requiring Denial. A Tentative Map shall be denied if the Commission makes any of the following findings:
a. The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is not consistent with the General Plan or any applicable Specific Plan; Not applicable. The subdivision's design is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan's Medium Density development standards since it is for the construction of two (2) residential units in a High Density Residential district where multi-family allowed in conformance with all applicable Development Standards. The project for which the subdivision applies to also complies with the applicable Development Standards and provisions of the Zoning Code for multi-family residential development. The approved project Improvements are not required as a condition of this Tentative Map's approval. b. The site is not physically suitable for the type or proposed density of development; Not applicable. The subject site is approximately 8,044 square feet in size.

The subject site will provide efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. The project was approved by the Planning Commission in August of 2015, who considered these items as part of their approval.

Page 4 of 6 ends

c. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
Not applicable. The proposed subdivision is located in an urban residential zone and the lot will be developed with three residential units. It is not adjacent to any streams or rivers, or to any known wildlife and their habitat. Therefore, there will be no substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or wildlife or their habitat as a result of this project. Additionally, a Negative Declaration was adopted as part of the approval of the project in 2015, along with a Supplemental Negative Declaration for the additional conditions related to the removal of a portion of an historic arroyo stone wall, and protection of a tunnel that is under the site.
d. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health or safety problems;
Not applicable. The design of the subdivision is limited to two condominiums with associated parking and open spaces on a lot located in a high-density residential zone. The Planning Commission approved the project which including finding that the project will adequately accommodate the functions and activities proposed for the site, will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing, or future developments, and will not create adverse pedestrian or traffic hazards. As such, the subdivision's design will not cause serious health or safety problems.
e. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. This finding may not be made if the Commission finds that alternative easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record, or to easements established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction, and not authority is hereby granted to the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements of access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
Not applicable. There are currently no existing or proposed easements to provide access through or use of the property by the public. Therefore, the design of the subdivision will not conflict with any public easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. f. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system would result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board;
The proposed subdivision will not create any additional units other than the two residential units previously approved by the Design Review Board. All 18 - 14

reviewing City Departments at that time indicated the ability to support the project as presented. Therefore, no additional sewer service other than that currently provided is needed today to service the approved three residences. g. A preliminary soils report or geological hazard report indicates adverse soil or geological conditions and the subdivider has failed to provide sufficient information to the satisfaction of the City Engineer or the Commission that the conditions can be corrected in the plan for the development; or
Not applicable. As part of the plan check process, the soils report for this project has been reviewed by the Building Division to ensure that there are no adverse soils or geological conditions on the subject site before issuing any building permits.
h. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, any other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.

Not applicable. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.

SECTION 3: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report, and provided during the public hearing, the Planning Commission of the City of South Pasadena hereby approves the application for Tentative Parcel Map (Project No. 2090-TPM) related to the proposed project at 203 Cedar Crest/ 204 Mockingbird Lane, subject to the Conditions of Approval that are attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
SECTION 4: Any interested person may appeal this decision or any portion of this decision to the City Council. Pursuant to the South Pasadena Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing, and with appropriate appeal fee, no later than (15) days, following the date of the Planning Commission's final action.

SECTION 5: The Secretary shall certify that the foregoing Resolution was adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of South Pasadena at a duly noticed regular meeting held on the 4th day of June 2018.

The Parcel Map has also been jointly reviewed by the City Community Development Department and Public Works Department for compliance with the conditions of approval and applicable City ordinances. Once City Council approves the Parcel Map, staff will facilitate the recordation by Los Angeles County.

Fiscal Impact
The City has adopted a fee, listed in the Master Fee Schedule, which pays for the staff time and resources necessary to review final parcel maps. 19 - 1

SOUTH PASADENA DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. Seq. ("CEQA"), and the State's CEQA Guidelines, the Planning Commission finds that the project is Categorically Exempt under Sections:
• 15301, Class l(L)(2), Existing Facilities; Demolition of a duplex or similar multifamily residential structure. • Section15303, Class 3 (b), New Construction; A duplex or similar multi-family residential structure in urbanized areas not exceeding six dwelling units. • 15315, Class 15, Minor Land Divisions; Division of property in urbanized areas zoned for residential; and

P.C. Resolution No. 19-03

SECTION 2: The Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with all four applicable findings to approve the Design Review of the project pursuant to South Pasadena Municipal Code Section 36.410.040, as follows:

1. Is consistent with the General Plan, any adopted design guidelines and any applicable design criteria for specialized areas ( e.g., designated historic or other special districts, plan developments, or specific plans); The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the City's adopted Design Guidelines for new multi-family residences. The proposed new townhome development is designed in consideration of the subject site and the character and scale of the existing single-family developments along Spruce Street. The mass and scale of the proposed project are characteristic of the proposed house style, Craftsman with gable roofing and a reduction in scale through a variation of exterior finishes. The applicant will utilize archetypal Craftsman finishes of horizontal wood siding, wood shingle siding, stone and brick base cladding, wood trim elements at the gable ends, around windows and doors, and as a datum between the first and second floors. Other design features include articulated front porches, tapered columns and articulated column bases. The incorporation of porches, balconies, and differing materials along the facades, as well as the proposed detached nature of each unit are all design moves to reduce the scale and visual impact of the development along a predominately single-family established neighborhood. Therefore this finding can be made.

2. Will adequately accommodate the functions and activities proposed for the site, will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing, or future developments, and will not create adverse pedestrian or traffic hazards;
The proposed project will accommodate the multi-family functions and activities proposed for the site. The new townhome development will provide sufficient size and space for residential living, with indoor/outdoor living incorporated into the architectural design. The required parking will be provided below ground to reduce the visual impact on the neighborhood and provide for a higher quality architectural design and site plan. There are three unit type designs for the proposed four detached townhomes. The entry to the subterranean parking garage will be located at the same location as the existing driveway entry along Spruce Street and pose minimal impact on the established neighborhood. The design of the development meets or exceeds the required side and rear setbacks, and height limits. As a multifamily development that is designed to reflect the established single-family residential neighborhood to which the project site directly abuts, the development will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing, or future developments. Thus, the proposed project will not impose adverse pedestrian or traffic hazards, nor will the proposed project interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing or future developments. Therefore this finding can be made.

3. Is compatible with the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood and all reasonable design efforts have been made to maintain the attractive, 19 - 13
1612 Spruce Street
2122-NID-DRX & 2153-TPM
P.C. Resolution No. 19-03

Page 4 of 9 ends

harmonious, and orderly development contemplated by this Section, and the General Plan;
The subject site sits in the RH-Residential High Density zone. The RH zoned properties flank both sides of Fair Oaks A venue with the subject property surrounded by RH-zoned properties directly to the north, across Spruce Street to the south and across Fair Oaks to the west. Directly adjacent to the proeperty along its eastern edge is the RE-Residential Estate zone. The RE zone consists of low density estate properties with large lots and single-family dwellings. The applicant of the project has taken strides to replicate the predominantly single-family development pattern of Spruce Street through the proposed detached townhome design. In essence, the single-family development pattern found along the block of Spruce Street containing the project site will continue with the proposed project with four individual townhomes each separated by setbacks to reflect a singlefamily development pattern. The design of the townhomes will be Craftsman, an architectural style that is commonly associated with the City, and is a common architectural typology of the neighborhood along Spruce Street. The project design incorporates techniques of architectural articulation including differentiation of materials at select datum lines, front porches, wood trim elements, corbel brackets, recessed windows, and landscape buffering. The project is specifically designed to reflect a single-family development as opposed to a multi-family block face, and in doing so, the project's mass and visual impact on the neighborhood is greatly reduced. Thus, the overall design of the project will maintain the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development contemplated by this Section, and the General Plan.

4. Provides a desirable environment for its occupants and neighbors, and is aesthetically of good composition, colors, materials, and texture, that would remain aesthetically appealing with a reasonable level of maintenance and upkeep.

The proposed four-unit detached townhome development will provide sufficient single-family-sized space for its occupants, readily accessible private and common open space, and sufficient parking. The architectural detailing of the Craftsman style townhomes are reflective of the quality of design expected in the City. The architectural detailing includes differentiation of materials at select datum lines, including a brick or stone base, ship lap siding and shingle siding, front porches with tapered columns and stone bases, wood trim elements around the fenestrations and gable ends, corbel brackets, recessed windows, and landscape buffering. The project is specifically designed to reflect a single-family development as opposed to a multi-family block face, and in doing so, the project's mass and visual impact on the neighborhood is greatly reduced. All of the proposed materials are known for their durability and can be found on many homes throughout the City as they remain aesthetically appealing with a reasonable level of maintenance and upkeep.

Therefore this finding can be made.

SECTION 3: Pursuant to South Pasadena Municipal Code (SPMC) Section

36.510.070(A), the Planning Commission finds that the subdivision is consistent with the General Plan; that the Supplemental Findings contained in SPMC Section 36.510.070(B) are not applicable to the subdivision; and that the Findings Requiring Denial contained in SPMC Section 36.510.070(C) cannot be made as follows:

A. REQUIRED FINDGINGS FOR APPROVAL. The Planning Commission may approve a Tentative Map only when it shall first find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the General Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan, and that none of the findings for denial in Subsection C (below) can be made. The findings shall apply to each proposed parcel as well as the entire subdivision, including any parcel identified as a designated remainder in compliance with Map Act Section 66424.6.

The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the General Plan and is consistent with the zoning regulations applicable to the property. The Planning Commission is simultaneous! y reviewing the Design Review of the proposed development and will make the four required Design Review Findings in their approval. Therefore, this approval could be granted if the Supplemental findings for approval in SPMC Section 36.510.070(B) can be made and the Findings requiring denial in SPMC Section 36.510.070(C) cannot be made.

B. SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS. In addition to the findings required for approval of a Tentative Map by Subsection A (above), the Commission shall not approve a Tentative Map unless it can also make the following findings, when they are applicable to the specific subdivision proposal.

Applicable. Construction of road improvements will be required for the proposed Tentative Map, as specified under the conditions of approval by the Public Works Department. Conditions include repairing of damaged, or out-of-grade sidewalk, curb and gutter, repair of the parkway, construction of perimeter retaining walls, and improvements to local crosswalks and public infrastructure including the repaving of asphalt/concrete to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. Therefore this finding can be made.

2. Condominiums. Any applicable findings required by Section

36.530.020 for condominium conversions.

Not Applicable. The proposed Tentative Map is not a condominium conversion. A condominium conversion is the conversion of residential real property into a condominium project, a community apartment project, or a stock cooperative project, whereby Section 66427 .1 of the Subdivision Map 19 - 15
1612 Spruce Street
2122-NID-DRX & 2153-TPM
P.C. Resolution No. 19-03

Page 6 of 9 ends

Act Requires that tenants of such properties be notified of pending approvals to convert their units to condominiums. State Law also allows tenants of such properties to have an exclusive right to contract for the purchase of his or her respective unit upon the same terms and conditions that such unit will be initially offered to the general public on terms more favorable to the tenant. The existing duplex proposed for demolition is currently vacant and will have no tenants at the time of demolition, and the project is not a conversion into a condominium. Therefore this finding cannot be made due to inapplicability.

3. Dedications or exactions. Findings documenting the need for dedications or exactions, if dedications or exactions are required.

Applicable. The City may require bonding payments to ensure the public improvements are completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

Therefore this finding can be made.

4. Waiver of Parcel Map. The findings required by Section 36.520.030 (Waiver of Parcel Map), if waiver of a Parcel Map has been requested with the Tentative Map application.

Not applicable. The applicant is not requesting a waiver of the proposed Tentative Map. Therefore this finding cannot be made due to inapplicability.

C. FINDINGS REQUIRING DENIAL. A Tentative Map shall be denied if the Commission makes any of the following findings:

1. The proposed subdivision including design and improvements is not consistent with the General Plan or any applicable Specific Plan; Not applicable. The subdivision's design is consistent with the provisions of the General Plan's High Density development standards since it is for the construction of four residential units in a High Density Residential district where multi-family developments are specifically allowed in conformance with all applicable Development Standards. The project for which the subdivision applies to also complies with the applicable Development Standards and provisions of the Zoning Code for multi-family residential development. Therefore this finding cannot be made.

2. The site is not physically suitable for the type or proposed density of development;
Not applicable. The subject site is approximately 17,511 square feet in size.

The project for which the tentative map will be applied to is suitable for the development. The entire development fits within the required front, side, and rear yard setbacks and within the maximum floor area ratio. Each of the three units provides adequate floor area and outdoor open spaces. Each unit has at least two covered parking spaces and there will be two guest parking spaces. The subject site will provide efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation. Therefore this finding cannot be made. 19 - 16
1612 Spruce Street
2122-NID-DRX & 2153-TPM
P.C. Resolution No. 19-03

Page 7 of 9 ends

3. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat;
Not applicable. The proposed subdivision is located in an urban residential zone and the lot will be developed with four residential units. It is not adjacent to any streams or rivers, or to any known wildlife and their habitat.

Therefore there will be no substantial environmental damage or injury to fish or ·wildlife or their habitat as a result of this project. Therefore this finding cannot be made.

4. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health or safety problems;
Not applicable. The design of the subdivision is limited to four detached townhomes with associated parking and open spaces on a lot located in a high-density residential zone. Part of the Design Review approval is to ensure that the project will adequately accommodate the functions and activities proposed for the site, will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring, existing, or future developments, and will not create adverse pedestrian or traffic hazards. As such, the subdivision's design will not cause serious health or safety problems. Therefore, this finding cannot be made.

5. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. This finding may not be made if the Commission finds that alternative easements for access or use will be provided, and that they will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This finding shall apply only to easements of record, or to easements established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction, and not authority is hereby granted to the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements of access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
There are current! y no existing or proposed easements to provide access through or use of the property. Therefore, the design of the subdivision will not conflict with any public easements for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. Therefore, this finding cannot be made.

6. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system would result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board;
The proposed subdivision will create four units, two more than currently exist. However, the City has determined that the development of this parcel into a multi-family development will be consistent with required public 19 - 17
1612 Spruce Street
2122-NID-DRX & 2153-TPM
P.C. Resolution No. 19-03

Page 8 of 9 ends

utility capacities and the General Plan's projected growth for the City.

Additionally, the City may require public utility improvements as part of the bonding process for the Tentative Parcel Map. Therefore this finding cannot be made.

8. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with all applicable provisions of this Zoning Code, any other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act.

Not applicable. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable provisions of the Zoning Code, Municipal Code, and the Subdivision Map Act. Therefore this finding cannot be made.

SECTION 4: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings included in the Staff Report, and testimony provided during the public hearing, the Planning Commission of the City of South Pasadena hereby approves Demolition, Design Review and Tentative Parcel Map No. 82291 (Project No. 2122-NID-DRX & 2153-TPM), to construct a four-unit detached townhome condominium development and subdivide one parcel ofland into four new condominium units located at 1612 Spruce Street (APN: 5320- 008-026), subject to the Conditions of Approval that are attached hereto as Exhibit "A." SECTION 5: Any interested person may appeal this decision or any portion of this decision to the City Council. Pursuant to the South Pasadena' Municipal Code, any such appeal must be filed with the City, in writing, and with appropriate appeal fee, no later than (15) days, following the date of the Planning Commission's final action.

SECTION 6: The Secretary shall certify that the foregoing Resolution was adopted by the Planning Commission of the City of South Pasadena at a duly noticed regular meeting held on the 28th day of January 2019.
