Specific Plan No. 23 Moratorium Update (Discussion with Planning Commission)

ROLL CALL VOTE (7:55 pm)

David Bratt – Present John Davis – Present Margie Green – Present Tomas Molina – Present Ted Ross – Present

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. Revisit the rezoning of the SP-23 properties comprehensively as part of the upcoming Housing Element Update (6th cycle).

2. Based on the information presented tonight and comments provided by the City Council and/or Planning Commission, direct staff to prepare a draft municipal code text amendment ordnance for the June 18, 2020 Planning Commission Hearing followed by a future City Council Hearing in July 2020.

Senior Planner Marco Espinoza announced that staff had received emails and letters on this item and they have been provided to the Council and Planning Commissioners. He then presented staff’s report on this item summarizing that tonight would conclude phase two and begin phase three of the moratorium process, development and implementation. He stated that phase three would entail; receiving input from the public, Council and the Planning Commission and move forward with any text amendments to present to Planning Commission and then City Council. City Attorney Jeff Malawy announced that Councilmember Ebiner has a conflict of interest on one of the property’s in SP-23 zoning and there will be two separate discussions and set of directions from the Council and Planning Commission. The first discussion will be on the two most westerly properties that allows Councilmember Ebiner to participate; and the second discussion will be on the eastern most property that Councilmember Ebiner is not able to participate in. Responding to Councilmember Ebiner’s questions about the housing elements listing, Mr. Malawy replied that he could participate in the discussions regarding this element, and suggested they be discussed first. Responding to Councilmember Ebiner, Director of Community Development Henry Noh replied staff has provided generalities at this time only as an exercise to analyze potential sites within the City and looking at gross acreage of the sites. He added that staff will provide further analysis and examples when they go through the housing element update and will also discuss types of potential development sites, potential heights and development standards. He explained that tonight staff is looking for direction on reviewing the three SP-23 sites in a comprehensive look during the housing element update and if Council wishes to look at those uses.

Item 3C Page 6 Regular City Council Minutes May 26th, 2020 Page 7

Councilmember Ebiner stated it would be good for the Council and Planning Commissioners to have that information to be able to make an informed decision. Director Noh replied that there needs to be some clarification and further direction at a future meeting if that is what Council wishes. He added that in previous meetings staff gave Council some potential photo examples of what different products could be. He stated again that the process tonight is not to select the sites, but direction to analyze only the three SP-23 sites during the upcoming housing element update. Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Vienna, Director Noh replied that the information provided tonight is based on the direction received from Council at the last study session of what potential sites could be included city-wide. Responding to Mayor Badar, Mr. Noh replied staff is not looking for any decisions on sites, this is for direction to initiate a process to analyze certain uses in a potential SP23 Municipal Code Text Amendment. He added there will be three more opportunities to hear from the public at future meetings. He confirmed that when staff goes through the formal housing element update, there will be an in depth look at site locations and that tonight’s discussion is just about potential sites that maybe suitable for the potential rezoning to accommodate City’s obligation for RHNA. Senior Planner Espinoza clarified the reason staff provided the list in the staff report was to show the Council that the numbers could be reached based on different density levels. Commissioner Davis summarized his understanding of staff’s plan to be two separate discussions, addressing the industrial uses in the SP-23 sites now and the housing in the future. Responding to Commissioner Molina, Director Noh replied the change would only be on the uses, but at this point no decisions are being made. He also replied that staff looked at the timing and determined that the deadline could still be meet by September 23, 2020. Responding to Commissioner Bratt, Director Noh replied that the SP-23 MCTA is a separate process from the housing and staff is recommending the Council review and analyze SP-23 comprehensively during the housing element update. He added anything that is currently permitted in the code would apply to any new applications. Commissioner Green stated we need to proceed, get more information and have a formal presentation made with the additional information. Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Vienna, Director Noh clarified, once the moratorium is lifted and there are no amendments, the City is not delaying anything. A project could come through at any point and submit an application based on whatever is conditionally permitted at this point. The housing element update doesn’t freeze any potential proposals at this point. What this is doing is looking at what the potential is for meeting the RHNA and housing obligations.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna stated that he is partial to lifting the moratorium and revisiting this at a time when every necessary step of the process can be implemented.

Item 3C Page 7 Regular City Council Minutes May 26th, 2020 Page 8

City Attorney Malawy stated that because the discussion was moving towards specifics of what should be done at the sites, the topics should be split up to allow Councilmember Ebiner to take part in the discussions that he does not have a conflict of interest, and his recusal where there is a conflict of interest. He moved the discussion to the two westerly sites that Councilmember Ebiner is permitted to discuss.

LA Signal and Pump Company

City Attorney Malawy asked if Council wished to eliminate the uses listed on page C7 and page C8 that staff is proposing.

Councilmember Bertone stated the best uses for the property is residential, and he is in favor of eliminating the uses underlined by the staff.

Councilmember Ebiner stated he is not ready to change the zoning now and agrees with Councilmember Bertone.

Director Noh clarified that Council isn’t eliminating the uses, only providing authorization and direction for staff to go through the formal MCTA process.

Responding to Councilmember Ebiner, Director Noh replied if Council wants to provide comments to staff’s recommendations in the staff report they will make sure that they are part of the MCTA.

Councilmember Ebiner suggested updating the Conditional Use Permit time requirement on page C8 to 10:00 p.m. instead of 12:00 a.m.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna stated he has an issue with the City continuing the moratorium without moving forward and that the City is diminishing the use for the property owners. He agrees with Councilmembers Bertone and Ebiner, but to continue to hold the property in a moratorium is a stretch.

Mayor Badar agreed that the moratorium needs to end.

Councilmember Ebiner expressed concern that lifting the moratorium now would not lead to a real intensification of the use.

Director Noh explained the repercussions of lifting the moratorium tonight and for any reason in the future these properties are not included as part of the housing element update, the existing uses at that point within SP23 would be the authority. He added when the City analyzes a permitted by right use and looks at denying a project, there has to be specific extraordinary circumstances the City finds to deny a project that is a permitted by right use. He further added that in his professional opinion SP23 makes it difficult for the City, potentially because it is already looking at the specific three sites and the surrounding community. If the Council and community have a lot of concerns about warehouse and other manufacturing uses this is the time to make amendments. He reiterated that the City is not affecting the existing businesses, they are going from the beginning of the

Item 3C Page 8 Regular City Council Minutes May 26th, 2020 Page 9

moratorium process until now operating as is, and after the moratorium they will continue to operate as is. Staff is trying to provide an opportunity for them to expand some of the uses.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna restated his position on lifting the moratorium.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna in response to Councilmember Ebiner’s question stated he would be okay with moving forward with the text amendment if the moratorium was lifted.

City Attorney Malawy clarified that would allow for someone to apply for a warehouse use in between the time the moratorium is lifted and the time the new text amendment takes effect. He also clarified that the moratorium cannot be lifted until the Council gives direction to staff to bring back a resolution to lift the moratorium at the next meeting.

Director Noh explained that it would be counterproductive to go through the exercise explained by the City Attorney at this point because there is a definite end point of September 23, 2020. All that the moratorium is doing is freezing the potential for someone to apply at this point, not freezing current operations. In the amount of time between today and the end of September we are not doing a disservice to the property owners because they are not going to sell and there will not be an applicant that comes in by the time the deadline hits, unless there is something out there that staff is not aware of. If we lift the moratorium and continue the analysis of the SP23 amendment then we are extending the timeframe of unknowns.

Responding to Councilmember Weber, Director Noh replied with the moratorium in place the two owners of westerly sites are not allowed to expand.

Responding to Councilmember Bertone, Director Noh replied staff is looking for direction either to move forward with the moratorium process and go forward with MCTA and analysis the SP23 sites with upcoming housing element update.

Staff and Council continued discussing lifting the moratorium, meeting dates and deadlines.

Mayor Badar opened the discussion for public comment on the two westerly sites. (LA Signal and Pump Company)

Caller #1 expressed concern with the city advocating for high density housing.

Director Noh explained the State mandates for meeting housing needs and repercussions of non- compliance.

Caller #2 John ,property owner, in SP23 expressed concern with planning staff changing the uses for his property.

Director Noh replied staff is not suggesting any limitations on these properties, only precluding any new developments. Senior Planner Espinoza explained the change of hours would be for new uses.

Caller #3 unclear comments.

Caller #4 Resident Brad Johnson shared that the chart gives the public some perspective staff heading in a good direction.

Caller #5 Resident Jan Bartolo suggested that there should be larger public outreach and involvement in future discussions.

Director Noh replied there will be a number of community meetings in the future and staff is asking the consultant to provide alternative options to receive public input.

Caller #6 Isabel Ebiner expressed support for continuing the moratorium.

Caller #7 Ian Stewart SP23 property owner requested separate discussions on the housing element update and SP23.

Director Noh replied that staff is requesting the separate discussions; and they are not proposing any limitations on the current uses or amendments that would affect their current operations. He added any amendments that would pertain to SP23 would be for new businesses. He also added that the 10% increase was just a discussion topic to get the owners input.

Mayor Badar closed the public hearing.

Director Noh explained that staff is asking that Council provide direction to analyze SP23 as part of the housing element update; and to provide direction if Council wishes to continue with the moratorium process and look at the potential municipal code text amendments listed in the staff report.

The Planning Commissioners commented that this approach will get us to where we need to be and suggested that staff stick with the deadline.

MOTION: Motion/seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Vienna/Councilmember Ebiner to direct staff to come back with a resolution at the next meeting that lifts the moratorium on SP23 and continue to work on municipal code text amendment as outlined in staff’s report. This motion applies to the Westerly two sites. (LA Signal and Pump Company) Motion passed. (5-0)

Staff presentation of Preliminary FY 2020-21 Budget and proposed Capital Projects (Session 1)

Acting City Manager Brad McKinney reported that per prior City Council direction, staff was asked to prepare and present a preliminary FY 2020-21 budget that includes operations, maintenance, and projects the Department Directors feel are best for the City and their departments regardless of declining revenue projections and overall effects of the COVID19 pandemic. To address the uncertainties with the current financial environment, staff was tasked with developing two different budgets, the one being presented and an emergency budget that includes only critical Item 3C Page 14 Special City Council Minutes (Budget Study Session I) May 20th, 2020 Page 2

operating and maintenance costs and projects staff feel are essential to the health of the City’s infrastructure. He explained that the goals of this study session would be for Council to provide direction to staff on the amount of General Fund Reserves to use and to allow directors to explain the importance of projects that they feel are in the best interest of the City, and to receive direction from Council to implement revisions to the preliminary budget. He reported that given the projected decrease in revenues and recognized decrease in some service programs due to the effects of COVID-19, the reserves are projected to be 72% at the end of fiscal year 2019-20. The preliminary budget being presented provides two scenarios: if only operation and maintenance was included the reserve level would drop to 64%, and if operation, maintenance and all projects are included the reserve level would be 55%. An emergency budget plan not presented would include operation and maintenance, the reserve level would be 66%, and a full emergency budget plan which includes critical projects, maintenance, operation costs and projects that were identified by Directors as critical to the infrastructure, the reserve level would be 64%. He and City Staff detailed the budget with the use of a Power Point presentations.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna expressed that he would not be comfortable providing direction tonight because there is a lot of information to digest in a short period of time and suggested continuing to the next meeting.

Acting City Manager McKinney explained that the revenue expenditures are projections and have been off in past years, and for this reason no matter what budget is approved, staff would like to bring back a budget update in September to identify if the projections were accurate and adjust accordingly.

Administrative Services Manager Michael O’Brien provided an overview of the Administration Department’s essential functions and 2019-20 accomplishments that included staff changes.

Staff and Council discussed promoting the PIO position from part time to full time.

Captain Andy Berg provided an overview of the Public Safety Services essential functions and 2019-20 accomplishments

Acting City Manager McKinney discussed the areas of increase in the Public Safety Services that included the Inland Valley Humane Society’s proposal to increase fees and asked for Council’s feedback.

Responding to Mayor Badar, Mr. McKinney replied the contract cost would be $250,0000 if we did not agree to the contract fee increase and $161,000 if we do nothing.

Council expressed community members displeasure with the service provided by the Inland Valley Humane Society.

Acting City Manager McKinney stated he would share the Council’s and the community’s response to this proposal.

Director of Community Development Henry Noh highlighted the departments guiding principles and provided an overview of the department’s essential functions and 2019-20 Item 3C Page 15 Special City Council Minutes (Budget Study Session I) May 20th, 2020 Page 3

accomplishments. He reviewed the 2020-2021 future plans and objectives for the department and the fund sources as presented in the PowerPoint presentation.

Director of Public Works Shari Garwick provided an overview of the department’s essential functions that includes $330,000,000 in public infrastructure, highlighting the maintenance scheduling of the signaling system in the City and 2019-20 accomplishments as presented in the PowerPoint presentation. She also reviewed the departments proposed Major Capital Projects and the fund sources.

Director Garwick answered questions regarding staffing and lighting asked by Mayor Badar.

Responding to Councilmember Ebiner, Mrs. Garwick replied the Gold Line signal work is tentatively scheduled to begin next spring and there will be no cost to the City. She also answered that Public Works will be handling graffiti removal on street signs and is budgeted at $10,000.

Director of Parks and Recreation Hector Kistemann provided an overview of the department’s essential functions and 2019-20 accomplishments, projects under construction and 2019-20 events, and the departments fund sources as presented in the PowerPoint presentation.

Responding to Councilmembers questions, Mr. Kistemann replied there is money set aside for the dog park and $100,000 will get us 150 24-inch box trees. He also replied that staff met with the Sheriff’s station staff and community members regarding National Night Out(NNO) and the $20,000 is an educated estimate, $18,000 for NNO and $2,000 for Arbor Day. He added that the cost for the holiday extravaganza was $65,000 for equipment, there was no staff time and we received $20,000 in sponsorships.

Responding to Councilmember Ebiner, Mr. O’Brien replied the funds will come from General Fund Reserves, Fund 21 $992,679, Fund 22 $146,130 and Fund 23 $390,000.

Responding to Mayor Badar, Mr. Kistemann replied the repairs needed at the Recreation Center include roof repairs, air conditioning unit, bathroom tiles, boiler, pool heater and the cost of $700,000 would be an investment.

Acting City Manager McKinney reviewed the negative balances again for Council and concluded the presentation. He asked for some direction on what Council’s comfort level is on using reserves.

Responding to Mayor Pro Tem Vienna, Mr. O’Brien replied $430,000 would be the amount saved if positions are not filed.

Mayor Pro Tem Vienna commented that there is a lot to consider and he wants to make sure he understands everything that staff has presented.

Councilmember Bertone stated that the budget will have to be cut and staff is going to have to decide what is priority to help Council with their decision making.

Item 3C Page 16 Special City Council Minutes (Budget Study Session I) May 20th, 2020 Page 4

Councilmember Ebiner stated that there are going to be some hard decisions that have to be made and he hopes there is an easy way to see what is taken out when the next presentation is made.

Councilmember Weber stated overall there are a lot of unknowns and he is okay spending some reserves, but would like to see something more balanced that protects the city in the future.

Mayor Badar commented that he would be not looking at the FY 2022-23 numbers in the presentation. He proposed a 1-hour study session before the next Council meeting to give staff feedback and then schedule another study session on a Wednesday or Thursday for bare bones budget presentation.

Council and staff discussed the time table for the emergency budget presentation with Acting City Manager McKinney confirming that the emergency budget presentation will only contain items not presented tonight.

Mayor Badar opened the meeting for public comments.

There were no public comments.

Subject: Public Hearing Regarding the Abandonment and Disposition of a Portion of Park Land (approximately 28,000 square feet) within the Horsethief Canyon Park and Making the Necessary Findings Pursuant to Government Code § 38501-38510 per Resolution 2021-02.

Resolution 2021-03 of the San Dimas City Council declaring pursuant to Government Code § 54221 that real property owned by the City located at the toe of slope along the north property line of 299 E. Foothill Boulevard is surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use, finding that such declaration is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

SUMMARY

On November 5, 2020 the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-1634 determining that the proposed abandonment of park land and sale is consistent with the General Plan and recommending to the City Council approval of the abandonment of the park land.

On December 8, 2020 the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-65 of Intention to abandon and dispose a portion of park land within the Horsethief Canyon and set a public hearing for January 12, 2021.

Staff recommends the City Council hold a public hearing to abandon and dispose approximately 28,000 square feet of park land within Horsethief Canyon Park located at the toe of slope along the south property line of 299 E. Foothill Boulevard.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2021-02 to hear and pass on objections regarding its intent to dispose and sell approximately 28,000 square feet of park land within the Horsethief Canyon Park, making the necessary findings pursuant to Government Code § 38501-38510, and abandoning the portion of park land. Per the proposed conditions of approval, the abandonment of the park land will take effect upon closing of the sale of the land.

Item 4 Page 1 Park Land Abandonment and Declaring Park Land Surplus Land Page 2 For the Meeting of January 12, 2021

Staff also recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2021-03 of the San Dimas City Council declaring pursuant to Government Code § 54221 that real property owned by the City located at the toe of slope along the South property line of 299 E. Foothill Boulevard is surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use, finding that such declaration is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

BACKGROUND

On December 8, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-65 Declaring its intent to abandon and dispose of approximately 28,000 square feet of Horsethief Canyon Park located at the toe of slope along the South property line (highlighted below in yellow, Figure 1) pursuant to Government Code Sections 38501-38510 and setting a public hearing for January 12, 2021. Staff complied with all posting and publishing requirements mandated by Government Code Section 6063 requiring the posting of the adopted Resolution 2020-65 at the subject park site and publication in the newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks with at least five days between each publication. The resolution was published on December 15th, 21st and 28th, 2020 in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (see Exhibit D).

Figure 1 – Park Land Highlighted in Yellow

The Property (park land) is zoned Light Agriculture (A-L) and Open Space (OS) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Open Space.

Horsethief Canyon Park was acquired by the City in 1979 from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). As surplus property for MWD’s purposes, MWD had offered the property to the City pursuant to Government Code sections 54220-54223 to purchase for park, recreational or open-

Item 4 Page 2 Park Land Abandonment and Declaring Park Land Surplus Land Page 3 For the Meeting of January 12, 2021 space purposes. The City accepted the MWD’s offer and purchased Horsethief Canyon Park from MWD for its fair market value in the amount of $636,500.

DISCUSSION

When property is purchased for the purpose of using it as a park, but never improved as park, it can be sold subject to compliance with the provisions of the Municipal Park Abandonment Law of 1939 (Government Code § 38501-38510) (hereinafter referred to as the “MPAL”). The MPAL allows cities to dispose of property that was purchased for park purposes but not used as such if the Council makes the following findings:

 The land has not been used by the public for park purposes; and  No consideration has been paid for the land except by the City; and  No public funds have been used to improve the land as a park; and  The land is not appropriate, convenient, or necessary for park purposes.

The City Council can make the required findings, mentioned above, for the subject Property since it has not been used by the public for park purposes nor improved as a public park, no consideration has been paid for the property except by the City, and the land is not appropriate, convenient or necessary for park purposes.

Horsethief Canyon Park was acquired in 1979. The first phase of development was in 1999 which included a paved access road, parking lot, equestrian facility, riding rinks and soccer fields. The specified portion of park land to be considered for abandonment is identified in “Figure 1” (approximately .64 acres), which consist of approximately 11,000 square feet of flat land at the toe of slope and approximately 17,000 square feet of natural hillside slope.

The main purpose for the abandonment is for a potential sale to an organization or developer for affordable housing or open space or recreational purposes, or to the owner of the adjacent property for development. No negotiations for price or terms of the potential land sale have yet occurred. Negotiations can begin after the City completes advertising the property as required by the Surplus Land Act (described further below). If the City Council approves the abandonment, the proposed conditions of approval state the abandonment will take effect upon closing of the sale of the property.

The subject slope and flat area have never been developed for public use nor has the area been used by park visitors for recreational purposes such as sport activities, passive park uses, lounging, hiking or any other typical park use (see Exhibit C). (“Park purposes” is not defined within Gov. Code §§ 38501 et seq.)

This subject park area is not easily accessible due to its location and topography. The access to a majority of the subject park land area is fenced off at the top of slope protecting park goers from falling down the hill and prohibiting one trying to climb down to the subject area. As mentioned the park land area is at the toe of slope along the south property line of the park. The only access to the area is along the west property line of the park where tall grasses are typically covering the

Item 4 Page 3 Park Land Abandonment and Declaring Park Land Surplus Land Page 4 For the Meeting of January 12, 2021 ground and then down a steep unimproved slope that leads to the north property line of 299 E. Foothill Boulevard. Once there, there is no recreational activity, walking or hiking activities to do in this area of the park.

When the San Dimas Equestrian Center was in business, some of the horse boarders and horse riders used a portion of the hillside slope as a shortcut to access the park without authorization from or knowledge of the City. Riders used this short-cut to avoid having to ride approximately one mile to the only official entrance to the park (off of San Dimas Canyon Road and Horsethief Canyon Park Road). However, the access to the park from the slope is not an official entrance nor is it improved for access. Riders created their own unauthorized trails on the hillside to access the park and had previously removed the fence between the park and private equestrian facility.

The property is identified as Open Space in the City’s General Plan but it was never zoned Open Space (OP). The proposed abandonment of approximately 28,000 square feet will not affect compliance with the Quimby Act of California, a standard of 5 acres/1,000 residents.

The Los Angeles Countywide Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment of May 3, 2016, indicates that the City provides park land above the County’s average. The City of San Dimas provides 5.1 acres of park land per 1,000 population while the County average is 3.3 park acres per 1,000 population. It should be noted that Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park which is 1,258.15 acres is included on the overall park acreage available to the community in the County’s Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment.

Should objections be made to the abandonment at the public hearing, and the City Council sustains the objections and denies the park land abandonment, a new public hearing for abandonment cannot be held for a minimum of six months. (Government Code section 38505.)

Surplus Land Act

As part of the process to abandon and dispose of park land (Property), the City Council would need to declare the property surplus in compliance with the Surplus Land Act. (Government Code §§ 54221 et. seq.) (the “Act”). A resolution declaring the property surplus should be adopted only after the City Council hears and passes on objections to the abandonment of the Property during the tonight’s public hearing. If City Council adopts Resolution 2021-03 declaring the Property to be surplus, a Notice of Availability will be sent to entities outlined in the Act (namely entities that provide affordable housing and open space/recreational facilities), including the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). These entities must express their interest in writing on the Property within 60 days of receiving the notice. Should the City receive interest from such entities, the City must negotiate in good faith for a period of 90 days to sell the Property to the entity. If the price or terms cannot be agreed upon in 90 days, then the City can dispose of the site to any other party after giving notice to HCD which has 30 days to respond to the City and notify the City that the process was conducted lawfully.

Item 4 Page 4 Park Land Abandonment and Declaring Park Land Surplus Land Page 5 For the Meeting of January 12, 2021

Environmental Review

City staff has determined that the designation of this property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Declaring the Property surplus does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the property is sold to a purchaser and that purchaser proposes a use for the property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution 2021-02 making the necessary findings pursuant to Government Code § 38501-38510 to abandon approximately 28,000 square feet of park land within the Horsethief Canyon Park.

Staff also recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2021-03 declaring pursuant to Government Code § 54221 that real property owned by the City located at the toe of slope along the South property line of 299 E. Foothill Boulevard surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use and finding that such declaration is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

CONTAINS AN AREA OF 27,798 SQ. FT., MORE OR LESS THE ABOVE DESCRIBED LAND IS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT “A” ATTACHED HERETO AND BY THIS REFERENCE MADE A PART THEREOF.

WHEREAS, the Property is currently unimproved and consists of approximately 28,000 square feet of land that is unused by park users due to its topography and lack of access; and

WHEREAS, Horsethief Canyon Park, including the subject parcels, were acquired by the City in 1979 from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) for $636,500; and

WHEREAS, the current zoning of the Property is Light Agriculture (AL) and Open Space (OS) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Open Space; the Property has no approved entitlements for development; and

WHEREAS, while the Property was intended to be used for recreational/park purposes, it was never used as a public park, no park improvements were made on this portion of the park, and no money was ever spent by the City in upgrading the Property to be used for park purposes.

WHEREAS, the abandonment of the Property will be contingent upon and will not be effective until a purchase and sale agreement for the Property has been negotiated and approved by the City Council and the sale closes; and

Resolution 2021-02 Page 2 Resolution 2021-02 Page 3 Park Land Abandonment (Horsethief Canyon Park Toe Slope) January 12, 2021 WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing on January 12, 2021, noticed pursuant to Government Code Section 6063, to hear and pass on objections to the abandonment of the Property.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of San Dimas does hereby find and determine:

A. The above recitals are true and correct.

B. The City Council adopts the following Findings pursuant to Government Code Sections 38501-38510, subject to the following Findings.

Findings

1. That all or the specified portion of the park has not been used by the public for park purposes.

Horsethief Canyon Park was acquired in 1979. The first phase of development was in 1999 which included a paved access road, parking lot, equestrian facility, riding rinks and soccer fields. The specified portion of park land identified in Exhibit “A” (appx. 28,000 square feet), consists primarily of a natural hillside slope (11,000 square feet) and a flat area at the toe of the slope (appx. 17,000 square feet). The Property is currently vacant and unimproved. The Property is zoned Light Agriculture (AL) and Open Space (OS) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Open Space.

The Property lacks the access and improvements to be used as a recreational/park use. Previously, the private property located immediately south of the subject Property was occupied by an equestrian facility. When the equestrian facility was in operation, horse riders used the Property as an unauthorized short-cut to access the park. However, the access to the park from the slope is not an official entrance that has been improved for safe access.

2. That no consideration has been paid for the land except by the City.

The Property was assumed by the City in 1979 from the Metropolitan Water District. No entity or organization other than the City has paid for the land.

3. That no public funds have been expended to improve all or the specified portion of the land as a park.

The specified portion of park land has not been altered since the property was used as a lemon or orange orchard. The Property was not altered when the soccer fields were developed in 1999 in the park. The Property contains no park improvements now or ever and therefore no funds have been used to

Resolution 2021-02 Page 3 Resolution 2021-02 Page 4 Park Land Abandonment (Horsethief Canyon Park Toe Slope) January 12, 2021 improve the Property as a park. This area of the park has not been graded, landscaped or irrigated.

3. That all or the specified portion of the land is not appropriate, convenient, or necessary for park purposes.

Staff evaluated the specified area of park land (Property) and determined that it is not appropriate, convenient, or necessary for park purposes. The Property is not readily accessible to park visitors and is on a steep slope, which limits feasible improvements for park uses. The City developed a Master Park Plan in 1996 that shows the subject Property being left in its natural state. The Master Park Plan has been modified since its inception and the Property has not been designated for any park uses in the Master Park Plan due to its limited pedestrian access and steep slope.

C. Based on the above findings, the Property is hereby abandoned, contingent upon and effective only upon the closing of any future sale of the Property.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of January, 2021.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

A. The above recitals are true and correct and are a substantive part of this Resolution.

B. The City Council hereby declares that the Property is surplus land and not necessary for the City’s use. The basis for this declaration is that the property topography, prone to flooding during heavy rainy seasons, and no planned City facility or park uses that are feasible for the site.

Resolution 2021-03 Page 8 Agenda Item Staff Report

DATE: November 5, 2020

TO: Planning Commission

FROM: Marco A. Espinoza, Senior Planner

SUBJECT: Planning Commission Review for Consistency with the General Plan Related to the Proposed Abandonment and Sale of a Portion of Park Land within Horsethief Canyon Park.

SUMMARY

Hogop Sargison on behalf of San Dimas Foothill Partners, LLC, is requesting the approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Vesting Tentative Tract Map, Development Plan Review, Precise Plan and Tree Removal to create 16 residential parcels and three (3) common area parcels at 299 E. Foothill Boulevard. The total project site under the developer’s control is 6.02 acres in size. The applicant proposes to purchase and consolidate two (2) parcels comprising of approximately 29,000 square feet of City owned park land located within Horsethief Canyon Park into the project for a total project size of 6.69 acres.

The proposed abandonment of the park land would facilitate a new 16-unit single-family two-story residential development.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PC-1634 determining that abandonment and sale of the park land is consistent with the General Plan.

BACKGROUND

Horsethief Canyon Park was acquired by the City in 1979 from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The MWD offered the surplus property to the City as required by State law. The City accepted the MWD’s offer and purchased the property from MWD for its fair market value in the amount of $636,500.

On October 13, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-55 declaring its intent to abandon and dispose of approximately 29,000 square feet of Horsethief Canyon Park

Exhibit A Page 1 Park Land Abandonments – Horsethief Canyon Park Page 2 November 5, 2020

located at the toe of slope along the South property line (highlighted below in yellow, Figure 1) pursuant to Government Code Sections 38501-38510 and setting a public hearing for November 24, 2020.

Figure 1 – Park Land Highlighted in Yellow

The Property (park land) is zoned Light Agriculture (A-L) and Open Space (OS) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Open Space. With the approval of the entitlement applications, the park land being considered for abandonment and sale will be brought into conformance with the General Plan Land Use designation and zoning.

The project was considered by the Planning Commission on June 6, 2019. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project to the City Council as long as the retention basin was designed to Los Angeles County standards and for the City Council to consider building the retention basin within park land to allow other areas of the park to be improved in the future.

On November 12, 2019, the City Council held a public hearing on the land use entitlements for the project. The City Council voted 5-0 to continue the item and to hold a public hearing on whether or not City park land should be abandoned to facilitate the project.

Since the meeting of November 12, 2019, the applicant revised the project and decreased the number of residential lots from 20 to 16 to include all of the necessary on-site improvements, including a retention basin within the project site, except for the portion of park land highlighted in yellow in Figure 1. The abandonment and sale of the park land would facilitate a more cohesive drainage pattern for the project.

Exhibit A Page 2 Park Land Abandonments – Horsethief Canyon Park Page 3 November 5, 2020

The project entitlements include:

 General Plan Amendment to amend the General Plan Land Use Map from Open Space to Single-Family Low (0.2-3 unit/acre).

 Zone Change to the land use classification from Light Agriculture (A-L) and Open Space (OS) to Single-Family with a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet (SF 7,500).

 Vesting Tentative Tract Map to subdivide 6.69 acres into 16 single-family two- story residential lots and 3 common lots (see Exhibit A - VTTM 72368).

 DPRB Review and Precise Plan for architectural review of the proposed development.

 Tree Removal Permit to remove 59 mature trees from the site subject to a replacement ration of a 2:1.

DISCUSSION

The procedure for abandonment and sale of park land includes the following steps:

1. The City Council considers adopting a Resolution of Intention to Abandon Park Land, and sets date for the Public Hearing on the proposed abandonment.

2. The Planning Commission determines whether the proposed abandonment and sale is consistent with the General Plan. The Planning Commission’s recommendation and input, if any is received, is submitted to City Council (included in the Staff Report to the City Council) to be considered by the City Council in deciding whether to sell the land.

3. A Public Hearing is held for the City Council to decide whether to adopt a Resolution Ordering the Abandonment of Park Land. The abandonment would be contingent upon the closing of the transaction to sell the park land.

4. The City Council will comply with Surplus Land Act procedures and then negotiate and decide whether to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell the Park Land.

The City Council reviewed and adopted a Resolution of Intention to Abandon Park Land at its October 13, 2020 meeting. The resolution established the City Council hearing date for November 24, 2020.

The purpose of the Planning Commission review is to determine whether or not the proposed abandonment and sale is consistent with the General Plan, as discussed in more detail in the following section. The Planning Commission’s determination is forwarded

Exhibit A Page 3 Park Land Abandonments – Horsethief Canyon Park Page 4 November 5, 2020

to the City Council for consideration. Prior to the City Council’s public hearing, Staff will post at least 4 notices regarding the proposed abandonment in conspicuous places at the park. Since the portion of the park land being considered to be abandoned and sold is not easily accessible and is not in an area used by park users, the notices will be placed in areas where the public can see them and be informed. At the November 24, 2020, City Council meeting, the City Council will consider the Commission’s recommendation, as well as other comments from the public, prior to taking final action on the request.

General Plan Consistency

The General Plan Element does not contain specific goals or policies that directly address park land abandonment or sale. The proposed abandonment and sale would not appear to conflict with existing General Plan goals, which generally promote orderly development, the maintenance of the City’s economic vitality and fiscal health, the protection of people and property from exposure to health and safety hazards, and the minimization of adverse impacts of development to the City’s public facilities and services. The proposed abandonment and sale of the park land would be consistent with the General Plan as follows:

Safety Element

Goal S-1: To maintain San Dimas safe from natural, seismic and public safety hazards.

Policy 1.1.3: Require that adequate soils, geologic and structural evaluation reports be prepared, by registered soils engineers engineering geologists, and/or structural engineers as appropriate, for all new development.

Objective 1.2: Minimize damage to public and private property from flooding.

Policy 1.2.1: Continue to require any new development to mitigate flooding problems identified by the National Flood Insurance Program as a condition of approval.

Housing Element

Goal H-2: Provide adequate housing sites to accommodate Regional Housing Needs.

Policy 2.1: Provide site opportunities for development of housing that respond to diverse community needs in terms of housing type cost and location emphasizing locations near services and transit that promote walkability.

Policy 2.3: Continue to encourage design consistent with the General Plan and appropriate to the community context.

Exhibit A Page 4 Park Land Abandonments – Horsethief Canyon Park Page 5 November 5, 2020

As stated previously, the park land abandonment will facilitate a 16-unit single-family two-story development. The proposed abandonment of park land would not negatively impact other properties and would allow for drainage issues to be better addressed, and protect any future development of the project site (299 E. Foothill Boulevard). With the approval of the entitlement applications, the proposed park land abandonment would be consistent with the City’s General Plan and Zoning as shown below:

Zoning Maps General Plan Land Use Maps

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

The Planning Commission’s determination whether the proposed park land abandonment and disposition is in conformance with the General Plan, and the proposed park land abandonment and disposition itself, is categorically exempt under Class 5 (Section 15305, “Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations”) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Exhibit A Page 5 Park Land Abandonments – Horsethief Canyon Park Page 6 November 5, 2020

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution determining that abandonment of the 29,000 square feet of park land is consistent with the General Plan.

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council For the meeting of December 8, 2020

From: Brad McKinney, Interim City Manager

Initiated by: Marco A. Espinoza, Senior Planner; Planning Division

Subject: Resolution of intention to dispose a portion of park land within the Horsethief Canyon Park. ______

SUMMARY

On October 13, 2020 the City Council adopted Resolution (No. 2020-55) of Intention to abandon and dispose a portion of park land within the Horsethief Canyon and set a public hearing for November 24, 2020.

Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt a new Resolution of Intent to abandon and dispose of approximately 28,000 square feet of Horsethief Canyon Park reflecting the legal description of such portion of land located at the toe of slope along the South property line adjacent to 299 E. Foothill Boulevard.

Staff is also requesting that City Council set a public hearing for January 12, 2021.

BACKGROUND

On October 13, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-55 declaring its intent to abandon and dispose of approximately 28,000 square feet of Horsethief Canyon Park located at the toe of slope along the South property line (highlighted below in yellow, Figure 1) pursuant to Government Code Sections 38501-38510 and setting a public hearing for November 24, 2020. The subject portion of land is comprised of a portion of two parcels (APN’s: 8665-007-900 and - 905),

Exhibit B Page 1 Initiation of Park Abandonment Page 2 City Council meeting of December 8, 2020

Figure 1 – Park Land Highlighted in Yellow

The Property (park land) is zoned Light Agriculture (A-L) and Open Space (OS) and has a General Plan Land Use designation of Open Space.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Staff worked with the Applicant’s engineer in drafting a legal description of the portion of land proposed to be abandoned and disposed that clearly describes the boundaries and location of the subject portion of land.

The first resolution establishes the intent to abandon and dispose the park land and sets the date for public hearing, at least 30 days later. During the 30-day period prior to the public hearing, Staff will comply with all posting and publishing requirements mandated by Government Code Section 6063. Government Code Section 6063 requires posting the adopted resolution at the subject park site and publication in the newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks with at least five days between each publication.

The Resolution of Intent will set a City Council public hearing for January 12, 2021. At that meeting, the City Council will conduct a public hearing and make its final determination regarding the abandonment and sale of park land.

If the City Council adopts a resolution to abandon and dispose a portion of park land, the City Council will also adopt a resolution declaring the property to be surplus. The Surplus Land Act, Government Code Sections 54220-54233 (“Act”), requires the City Council to take formal action in a regular meeting declaring the land is surplus and not necessary for the City’s use.

The Staff Report from the October 13, 2020 is attached (see Exhibit A), which provides detailed information related to the findings that must be made and the process for the abandonment of park land.

Exhibit B Page 2 Initiation of Park Abandonment Page 3 City Council meeting of December 8, 2020

CONCLUSION

The park abandonment process requires the City Council adopt a Resolution of Intent to abandon and sell park land and setting a public hearing date at least 30 days from the date that the Resolution of Intent is adopted.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution of Intent to dispose of a portion of park land from two City owned parcels (APN’s: 8665-007-900 and -905), make the necessary findings, and set a public hearing for January 12, 2021 pursuant to Government Code § 38501-38510.

SUMMARY Appoint a City Council Ad-Hoc Committee consisting of two Councilmembers to collaborate with Staff and select four (4) pieces of artwork to be located on the future Gold Line bridge wingwalls.

BACKGROUND On September 11, 2018, the City of San Dimas and the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority executed a Settlement Agreement regarding the design of the future bridge located along Bonita Avenue and Cataract Street. The bridge design includes four (4) 10’ wide x 15’ high x 2” recess areas for artwork on each wingwall (See Exhibit A: Bridge Rendering) that the City is required to provide.

Subject: Review the Administrative Processes of the City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees ______

SUMMARY The City has an established volunteer program in it’s Boards, Commissions and Committees. These advisory groups were established 35 to 52 years ago. There have been many revisions, mergers and names changes over the years. A Commissioners Handbook was created in 1998 and has had two revisions since. The last revision was done in 2014. Per City Council direction, draft language surrounding training, interactions with the media, nepotism, and information on the appointment process and number of members on each Board, Commission, and Committee is being brought before Council.

BACKGROUND

At the December 8, 2020, City Council meeting, the City Council discussed the current status of the City’s Board, Commissions, and Committees (BCC). During this discussion, a motion was made to bring back draft language and information surrounding the BCC. The areas discussed and directed by Council to bring back included four main areas. These areas included Training, interactions with the media, nepotism, and looking at the appointment process and number of members on a BCC.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Based on the Council’s discussion and directions, proposed language addressing Training, interactions with the media, nepotism, the appointment process including the number of members on a BCC is included in the draft Boards, Commission, and Committee Handbook (Attached). A summary of each area being discussed and proposed is listed below.

Item 5 B Page 1 Review the Administrative Process of the Page 2 City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021

Training The draft language for training is located is section J, and on page 13 of the Handbook. The draft language states (proposed new language in italic):

In order to meet the requirements of California state law (AB 1234), the City Council and Planning Commissioners, as well as all appointed advisory members of any body of the City that is subject to the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act (“Open meeting law”) and who receive stipends or reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred, shall be required to receive no less than two hours of training in general ethics principles and ethics law at least once every two years, (or as frequently as the law may subsequently be amended to provide.) Newly appointed advisory members should complete the required ethics training within the first six months of appointment. Officials shall submit copies of their certification to the City Clerk within thirty (30) days of completion of the curriculum.

The City Council and Planning Commissioners, as well as all appointed advisory members of any body of the City will also be required to participate training on Roberts Rules of Order, and Sexual Harassment within the first year of appointment.

Live training sessions are offered throughout the year and self-study courses are available online at www.cacities.org. Follow the directions below:  Click on the Institute for Local Government tab at the top  Then select Ethics, Ethics Laws, and  Click the self-study link on that page.

In addition, other training material and/or classes are available through the City Clerk’s Office. If you have questions whether or not to attend an Ethics Training session, Roberts Rules or Order, and/or Sexual Harassment training, please consult with your City staff liaison or City Clerk.

Interaction with the Media The draft language for Interactions with the Media is located in Section VI – Relationships, subsection C, on page 23 of the Handbook. The draft language states:

Representing the City Board members, Commissioners, and Committee members should always remember their public or private statements, including in the news media or on social media, may be perceived as representing the City or as being made on behalf of the City, or may be perceived as representing official City policy.

Board members, Commissioners, and Committee members should take care not to state or imply that their views, expressions of opinion, or other statements are an official policy, statement, position, or communication of the City or represent the views of the City or any City officer or employee, unless specific permission has been given to the Board member, Commissioner, or Committee member by the City Council or the City Manager to speak on behalf of the City.

Item 5 B Page 2 Review the Administrative Process of the Page 3 City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021

Nepotism The draft language for Nepotism is located after the “Appointment of Employee’s Relative” rule on page 12 of the Handbook. The draft language states:

Appointment of Relatives of City Councilmembers or City Manager No relative of a member of the City Council or of the City Manager shall be appointed to any Commission, Committee or Board. “Relative” shall be defined as a City Councilmember’s or City Manager’s: - Spouse - Sibling - Child or Stepchild - Child’s spouse - Brother-in-law - Sister-in-law - Parent - Parent-in-law - Grandparent - Grandchild - Spouse’s grandparent

Appointment process and number of members on a BCC

The current status of our BCC is as follows:

• The Equestrian Commission was approved in 1992 for five commissioners and is fully appointed. • The Parks and Recreation Commission was approved in 1997 for seven commissioners and currently has four vacancies. There are currently seven applications on file . • The Public Safety Commission was approved in 1998 for twelve commissioners and currently has three vacancies, eight City appointments and one Sheriff’s Civilian Advisory Board (CAB) appointment. There are currently eight applications on file. This commission has a couple of areas that should be addressed. o The structure of this commission should be made up of ten City Council appointees and two CAB. There is only one CAB appointee at the moment; the other position was inadvertently filled with a City appointment several years ago when one of the CAB appointees resigned. o It should also be noted an appointment of a body of twelve is not legislatively/administratively efficient for vote counts.

Of the three vacancies only two would be City appointments and one from the CAB.

Potential options for restructuring of this commission are:

1. If the appointee number is lowered to nine, seven would be City appointments and two would be CAB appointments.

Item 5 B Page 3 Review the Administrative Process of the Page 4 City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021 2. If the appointee number is lowered to seven, five would be City appointments and two would be CAB appointments. 3. Staff or Council Liaison should contact the CAB to determine if there is an interest in having a second appointment. 4. Possible language for the number of appointments to BCC: The number of appointments to any City Board, Commission or Committee shall be not less than five and no more than seven or nine.

If the Council wishes to lower the number of appointees on a Commission, the timeframe for when these changes could take place is as follows:

Option 1 (7) Appointees 1. Equestrian Commission - no effect 2. Parks and Recreation Commission - no change 3. Public Safety Commission - attrition July 2023 – 5 termed out 4. Senior Commission - attrition July 2021 – 2 termed out

Option 2 (9) Appointees 1. Equestrian Commission - no attrition effect 2. Parks and Recreation Commission - no attrition effect 3. Public Safety Commission - attrition July 2023 – 5 termed out 4. Senior Commission - no attrition effect

RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council discuss the draft language, provide direction to staff on approving new language, and provide direction on the appointment process and number of members on the Boards, Commissions, and Committees.

Respectfully submitted,

Debra Black City Clerk

Attachment: Commissioners Handbook

Item 5 B Page 4 INTRODUCTION

The quality of life and public safety is a major interest of San Dimas residents and the City Council. Commissioners provide an invaluable service in achieving a comfortable and safe community. Your advice will be welcomed by the City Manager and the director of the department with which you are affiliated.

The Commission Handbook has been prepared to aid in orienting you to the functions and activities of the advisory position to which you have been appointed. The handbook is designed to contribute to your general knowledge and understanding of public affairs and to aid you in fulfilling your commission responsibilities. PURPOSE OF COMMISSIONS

A Commission, Board or standing Committee is established by ordinance or resolution to serve as an on-going advisory group to facilitate public input and citizen participation in the operations of the City. The City Council has the final decision-making authority on any issues dealing with service delivery and the expenditure of city funds.

Appointment to a Commission, Committee, or Board is a privilege and an honor which signifies the City Council’s confidence in your desire to participate and serve. It demonstrates the Council’s desire to have the benefit of your guidance and participation in the discussion of City operations.

As a member of one of the City’s Commissions, Committees or Boards you will focus upon community needs that require your understanding, dedication, enthusiasm, vision, and experience.

As an advisor to the City Council, you must be continually aware that the decisions formed by that body, even after receiving and evaluating your recommendations, are not easily made. The Council has the ultimate political and legal responsibility for the conduct of local government and the welfare of the entire community. Yours is an important role in assisting the City Council to fulfill its obligations to our citizens.

Participation on a Commission or Committee can be a satisfying and challenging experience, as well as a responsibility. It provides an opportunity to become intimately aware of the operating policies and issues of municipal government in general, and of a specific departmental unit. It personifies citizens’ participation in their community. It gives you an opportunity to play a vital role in the communication process between citizen and elected representative.

A challenging and meaningful experience awaits you! Immediate satisfaction should come from the sense of a coordinated effort in sharing your thoughts and

1 Commission Handbook insights with those of your fellow commissioners as you deal with a variety of conditions, issues, and situations in our City.

Even more rewarding satisfactions will come as you learn more of the operations of the City’s responsibilities and how to be an effective participant in your city government. It must be recognized that not all of the recommendations made by the advisory Commissions, Committees, or Boards will be accepted. Declining the Commission’s advice in a given situation does not imply lack of confidence or disinterest in the advisory bodies’ decisions. Those receiving the advice must weigh it against other information and considerations as they reach the decisions for which they are responsible.

2 Commission Handbook SECTION I GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SAN DIMAS

A. HISTORY OF SAN DIMAS

The City of San Dimas is a general law city incorporated on August 4, 1960, located approximately 30 miles east of Los Angeles. The city has a four member City Council and Mayor elected by direct vote of the people. The City is approximately 15 square miles in area with a population of approximately 36,000. The City has a Council- Manager form of government.

San Dimas is a community whose historical roots go deep into the nineteenth century. The first Americans arriving in the locality presently known as San Dimas were a band of explorers headed by Jedediah Strong Smith who camped at a cienega, later called Mud Springs, in 1826. In 1837, two Spanish Dons, Ignacio Palomares and Ricardo Vejar, came into these vast semi-arid and wilderness pastures. Their immense land grant was christened Rancho San Jose and was range for great herds of cattle. Outlaws operating from inaccessible haunts in a canyon often made raids on these cattle, and Palomares, expressing his anger, referred to the outlaws as Dismas, the repentant thief on the cross. The Don’s allusion suggested a name for the canyon – “San Dimas Canyon.” The City of San Dimas assumed its name from the canyon.

Since its incorporation in 1960, the thoughtful and steady growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living.

An abundance of recreational facilities, including the 2,500 acre Frank G. Bonelli recreational area which lies within city boundaries, popular San Dimas Canyon Park, and nine neighborhood parks are available to citizens of San Dimas. City services are provided on an economical yet highly efficient basis. In addition, the school district is effectively working on the dual challenges of providing first-class education today, while laying the foundations for tomorrow’s ever-increasing educational demands.

An impressive, state-of-the-art civic center houses all departments of city services, as well as providing meeting rooms for various community activities. The San Dimas Civic Center includes the City Hall, Stanley Plummer Community Building, the Senior Citizen/Community Center, and the Los Angeles County regional library. The expanded civic center includes a post office, Sheriff’s Station, Fire Station and City Maintenance Yard.

SECTION IV

A. APPOINTMENTS

Applications for commission, committee, and board appointments must be submitted to the City Clerk’s office. A separate application is required for each body to which the applicant is seeking appointment. Applications are maintained by the City Clerk’s office in an active status for one year, after which time they become inactive and new applications must be submitted if the applicant still wishes to be considered for appointment.

When a vacancy occurs, a notice shall be published and applications solicited. All active applications for that commission, committee, or board are forwarded to the City Council for review, and a Council subcommittee may conduct interviews. If the number of applicants does not exceed the number of commission vacancies, the application deadline may be extended. After completing interviews of the applicants, the City may choose to extend and continue the recruitment process. An applicant is appointed to fill that vacancy by the affirmative vote of the majority of the City Council. Appointments to newly created advisory bodies are made in the same manner.

It should be noted that appointment to a City commission, committee, or board is recognition of expertise and interest in a specific area as well as an honor bestowed upon a citizen. Members of an advisory body serve at the pleasure of the City Council and may be removed from their appointment at the Council’s sole discretion. The City Council can also adjust the number of commission seats as it sees fit.

Pursuant to policy approved in 2001, members of a Commission, Committee, or Board cannot concurrently serve on two or more commissions.

B. TERM OF OFFICE

After serving three consecutive terms, Commission, Committee, or Board members must wait one year before being eligible to reapply for service on the same commission. If they serve one year or longer of an unexpired term, it is considered a term and therefore, are eligible to serve two additional terms.

Planning Commissioners are appointed to two-year terms; however, there are no limits to the number of terms that members may serve.

The City Clerk shall notify the City Council of expiring terms of office for any member presently serving on a Commission, Board or Committee.

A notice shall be posted by the secretary within 24 hours of the cancellation, informing the public that the next regularly scheduled meeting has been canceled due to a lack of business.

B. ADJOURNED MEETINGS (GC § 54955)

If for any reason the business to be considered at the regular meeting cannot be completed, the body may then adjourn to a specified time and location. A notice announcing the adjournment must be posted in the standard location within 24 hours of the adjournment. This type of meeting is referred to as an adjourned meeting.

C. SPECIAL MEETINGS (GC § 54956)

Special meetings are those called by the advisory body in order to discuss an important issue that needs to be addressed outside of the regular meeting date and time by delivering personal notice to each member and to the public press and posted in City Hall at least 24 hours in advance of such special meeting.

D. QUORUM

A quorum consists of a majority of the members of the commission in attendance at a meeting. A quorum is required to conduct business at any meeting, whether or not it is a regular, adjourned, or special meeting. The Staff liaison or Chair should be notified if a member knows in advance that he or she will be absent.

E. RALPH M. BROWN ACT (GC § 54950 et seq)

The Brown Act is a state law enacted in 1953 that requires all local government business to be conducted in open and public meetings, with the exception of a limited number of defined subjects that may be discussed in a closed session of a local government body. Those exceptions to open and public meetings include, but are not limited to, discussions of personnel matters, pending, proposed or anticipated litigation with the City Attorney where open discussion would be detrimental to the City’s interest.

15 Commission Handbook The purpose of the Brown Act is to facilitate public participation in local government decisions and to curb misuse of democratic process by secret legislation by public bodies.

The Brown Act applies to the legislative body including, but not limited to the City Council, Commission, Committee, or Directors, and shall include any board, commission, committee or other body on which officers of a local agency serve in their official capacity as members. It includes, but is not limited to, the Planning Commission, Equestrian Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Public Safety Commission, Senior Citizens Commission, Development Plan Review Board, Golf Course Advisory Committee, Oversight Board, and other ad-hoc or permanent boards or commissions of a local agency.

The Commission shall provide for the conduct of business by the Commission, the time and place for holding regular or adjourned meetings, and a brief description of each topic to be discussed. The agenda for the meeting must be posted in a public place in public view a minimum of 72 hours before a regular meeting and 24 hours prior to a special meeting. Furthermore, no discussion or action may be taken on those items which are not listed on the meeting agenda. No action may be taken on an item at any meeting without a quorum.

The Brown Act expressly prohibits serial meetings. Typically a serial meeting is a series of communications, each of which involve less than a quorum of the legislative body, but which taken as a whole involves a majority of the body’s members. This would also include situations in which technological devices are used to connect people at the same time. Commissioners, Committee Members, and Board Members are also required to disclose any communication they have had regarding an agenda item.

Minutes of the proceedings must be taken to be entered into the public record.

F. INFORMAL PUBLIC HEARING

An informal public hearing is one which is not required by law but which is called in order to give the public a chance to comment on a subject. The commission, committee or board can set rules for notifying the public of an informal hearing, establish a time frame, and conduct the hearing in any fair way it chooses.

G. FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING

A formal public hearing is one that must be conducted according to state laws or City ordinances and is designed to solicit comment from the general public.

An official Notice of Public Hearing will be published in a local paper of general circulation.

16 Commission Handbook H. HEARING PROCEDURES

Hearings held by an advisory body should be fair and impartial. If a member is biased or has a personal interest in the outcome of the hearing, that member should disqualify himself/herself and not participate.

Persons and/or groups who may be affected by the subject of the hearing should be given sufficient notice of the time and place of the hearing and a reasonable opportunity to be heard. They may be represented by counsel and be permitted to present oral and documentary evidence. They should also be permitted to rebut any statements made by others.

At the appropriate time, the chair should open the hearing and explain to the audience the hearing procedures. If there are numerous persons who would like to participate, and all represent the same views and opinions, the chair may ask that a spokesperson be selected to speak for the group. If this arrangement cannot be made, the chair may restrict each speaker to a limited time (generally three minutes) so all may be heard. Irrelevant and off-the-subject comments should be ruled out of order by the chair.

The usual procedure after the hearing has been opened is for staff to present the staff report, followed by commissioners’ questions relating to the report. Proponents should be given the opportunity to present their case first. This is followed by an opportunity for opponents to present their case. The proponents then have an opportunity to offer a rebuttal to arguments against their case.

After all interested persons have had an opportunity to speak the hearing is closed, ending audience participation. Commission, committee or board members may discuss the proposal and take an action on the proposal.

A summary of the hearing proceedings is prepared by staff and forwarded to the City Council for their information. In certain instances, recommendations made to the City Council should be in the form of a resolution (i.e. Planning Commission recommendations for zone changes.)

I. MOTIONS

When a member wishes to propose an idea for the body to consider, the member must make a motion. This is the only way an idea or proposal from a member may be presented to the body for discussion and possible action. A motion goes through the following steps:

1. The member asks to be recognized by the Chair.

2. After being recognized, the member makes the motion (I move…)

3. Another member seconds the motion.

4. The Chair states the motion and asks for discussion.

17 Commission Handbook 5. When the Chair feels there has been sufficient discussion, the debate is closed (i.e. “Are you ready for the question?” or “Is there any further discussion?”).

6. If no one asks for permission to speak, the Chair puts the question to vote.

7. After the vote, the Chair announces the decision (“The motion is carried” or “The motion fails,” as the case may be.)

Phrasing a motion is often difficult and corrections may be necessary before it is acted upon. Until the Chair states the motion (Step 4) the member making the motion may rephrase or withdraw it. After an amendment, the amended motion must be seconded and then voted upon. It is particularly important when a motion is amended that the Chair restates the motion in order that members are clear as to what they are voting on.

In making a motion, members should try to avoid including more than one proposal in the same motion. This is especially important when members are likely to disagree. If a member would prefer to see proposals divided and voted upon separately, the member should ask the Chair to divide the motion. If other members do not object, the Chair may proceed to treat each proposal as a distinct motion to be acted upon separately. The request to divide may also be made by motion.

J. ADJOURNMENT

When a commission, committee, or board has finished its business, a motion to adjourn is in order. This motion is not debatable; therefore, it is the duty of the Chair to see that no important business is overlooked.

If the body wishes to meet before the next regularly scheduled meeting, a motion may be made to adjourn the meeting to a designated time and place. If this is done, a notice of the adjourned meeting must be posted on the door of the regular meeting place within 24 hours after the time of adjournment.

K. AGENDA

Any item that a member wishes to include on a future agenda must first be agreed upon by the consensus of that commission, committee, or board.

In accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act, no action may be taken on an item that has not been placed on the noticed agenda, except when it has been determined by majority vote that the matter in question constitutes an emergency ( GC 54956.5) or there is a need for immediate action which cannot reasonably wait for the next regularly scheduled meeting (GC 54954.2(b) (2). And that the need to take action arose subsequent to the agenda being posted.

L. MINUTES

The staff liaison is responsible for the preparation of minutes of all commission meetings. Written minutes, upon approval by the commission, committee, or board, constitute the official record of the actions taken and a summary of the important topics raised in the discussion.

18 Commission Handbook

Additions and corrections of the minutes may be made only in public meetings, with the approval of the body, and not by the private request of individual members. Minutes are not deemed official until approved by the Commission.

It is the policy of the City Council that minutes are not verbatim. They are, instead, action minutes, recording the essence of the decisions made and significant action taken.

For the convenience of the recording secretaries, meetings may be recorded in order to facilitate the preparation of minutes. However, any tapes of meetings do not become part of official city records and can be destroyed at any time if the purpose for which it was made and retained was solely to facilitate the preparation of the minutes of the meeting.

Minutes of all meetings are to be forwarded to the City Council and the City Clerk after approval by the Commission.

M. AGENDA PACKETS

Agenda packets detailing the items of business to be discussed and any communications to be presented generally will be prepared by staff and delivered to the members of the body within a reasonable amount of time before the meeting, but no later than 72 hours prior to the meeting. In order to be prepared for meetings, members should read these packets and contact the Chair or staff if there are any questions regarding information presented in the staff reports.

N. POLITICAL REFORM ACT

The Political Reform Act states that public officials shall perform their duties in an impartial manner, free from bias caused by their own financial interest or the financial interests of persons who have supported them. The Political Reform Act establishes regulations regarding Conflicts of Interests and Campaign Receipts and Expenditures. (Gov. Code Sections 87100-87350)

In accordance with State law, City Officials, Planning Commissioners, and employees are required to annually disclose all financial interests that may be affected by decisions made in their official capacity, including investments, real property and income. Disclosure is made by filing Conflict of Interest statements with the Fair Political Practices Commission upon assuming office, on an annual basis, and when leaving office. Filed forms are public documents and must be made available upon request. (Gov. Code Section 81002(c))

Councilmembers and Planning Commissioners must also disqualify themselves from making or participating in making or influencing any governmental decision that will have a foreseeable material financial effect on any economic interest of the Council Member, Planning Commissioner, or certain family members.

19 Commission Handbook O. CITY OF SAN DIMAS MUNICIPAL CODE

The Municipal Code consists of codified ordinances, as well as the Zoning Code that define the regulations and laws that help guide how the city operates and functions. The purpose of the code is to make laws accessible and provide documentation of past legislation. It is available on the City’s website at www.cityofsandimas.com and a copy in the Office of the City Clerk.

P. AREA OF INTEREST

When a commission, committee, or board is established by the City Council, the specific duties of that body are set forth in the ordinance or resolution that creates it. It is implicitly understood that the advisory body is limited to the consideration of those matters which are specifically assigned to its jurisdiction. In special or unusual circumstances, when interest spreads into an area beyond its jurisdiction, the commission, committee, or board should formally request specific authorization from the City Council to consider the matter and to formulate recommendations in that area. In some cases, the Council will call a joint meeting or study session with a commission or committee to explore an issue or issues in depth.

Q. SUB-COMMITTEES

 In certain instances a commission, committee, or board may determine that it is necessary to form a sub-committee to study a particular matter relating to that body in some detail.

 A sub-committee may be formed by a majority vote of the commission, committee, or board members taken at a regular meeting but may not be comprised of a majority of the members.

 Appointments to the sub-committee are made by the consensus of the commission, committee, or board.

 A sub-committee is a temporary committee which will usually last no longer than six months.

 After the completion of the particular study and presentation of recommendation to the commission, committee, or board, the sub-committee should be disbanded.

20 Commission Handbook R. ROLE OF CHAIR

It is incumbent upon the Chair of the commission, committee, or board to ascertain the responsibility of his/her advisory body and to limit the discussion and deliberation to appropriately assigned areas of responsibility.

The Chair exists to encourage the input of ideas, to guide discussions in a logical and orderly fashion, and to overall facilitate the decision-making process. He or she should clarify ideas as they are discussed and repeat motions made in order that all members fully understand the wording of the item on which they are voting.

The Chair and the staff may be in contact prior to each regularly scheduled meeting in order to coordinate activity pertaining to items pending before the commission, committee or board.

21 Commission Handbook SECTION VI

RELATIONSHIPS

A. INTERACTION WITH STAFF

The City’s staff works for and is responsible to the City Manager and it is therefore, the City Manager’s responsibility to allocate staff’s time and efforts. Commissioners should not attempt to direct or decide the priority of work for the department or the individual staff person. These bodies should, however, set priorities for their own agendas in order that staff may best use the time available for commission, committee, or board business.

In contacting city personnel on official business, the proper channel is through the staff liaison assigned to the commission, committee, or board.

It is not expected that every staff recommendation will be followed; but, based on the technical knowledge of staff personnel, consideration should be given to their proposals and recommendations. The commission, committee, or board may choose to agree or disagree with a staff recommendation. In the latter case, staff has the option of including his/her recommendations in the staff report to the City Council. Any differences in opinion will be discussed at the Council meeting.

The City Council expects that a mutually respectful and professional relationship is maintained between the staff personnel and the commission, committee, or board. The effectiveness of an advisory body is hampered by internal tension and personality conflicts. In the event a conflict does arise between an individual member and the staff, the member should approach the chair who will, in turn, try to mediate the conflict. If the problem cannot be solved at the lowest level, the Chair will approach the head of the department to which that commission, committee, or board is related. As a last resort the matter will be brought to the attention of the City Manager. However, it should be emphasized that every effort should be made to maintain a respectful and professional relationship with staff in order to facilitate and enhance the body’s operation and effectiveness.

A City body is comprised of a diverse group of people and it is inevitable that not everyone will agree on an issue all of the time. However, all efforts should be made to maintain amicable relations among the individual members. Personality conflicts only hamper an organization’s effectiveness. Nevertheless, in the event that a personality conflict does arise between individual members, it is the chair’s responsibility to try to mediate and resolve the problem. If the conflict cannot be resolved, the chair should approach the staff liaison to the commission, committee or board.

22 Commission Handbook

B. INTERACTION WITH CITY COUNCIL

The primary responsibility of commissions, committees, and boards is to advise and make recommendations to the City Council. It is the Council’s role to absorb the advice and recommendations offered by numerous sources and to make decisions to the best of its ability. Because the City Council is in such a position to see the broader context and is aware of other concerns, it may not always follow the recommendation offered by individual commission, committees, and boards.

Although there may be disagreement with the City Council on an issue, once the Council has established its position, the commission, committee, or board, or individual members should not do anything contrary to the established policies and programs adopted by the City Council.

With the exception of the Planning Commission, a Councilmember(s) shall be assigned to a commission, committee, or board as a liaison. The Council liaison(s) attend the meetings, but with the exception of Golf Course Advisory and DPRB are not voting members of the board.

Business transacted with the Council should be in writing from the body as a whole and forwarded through staff who will then forward it to the City Manager’s office. The City Manager will review all reports, findings, and recommendations and forward to the Council those matters within its province.

When a member of an advisory body addresses the City Council at a public meeting, it should be made clear whether he/she is speaking on behalf of the advisory body or as an individual citizen.

Commissions, committees, and boards and their individual members should not attempt to predict Council action, either publicly or privately. However, they may and should interpret Council policies or identify trends in Council thinking.

C. INTERACTION WITH THE PUBLIC

Members are encouraged to become aware of public opinion relating to their field of influence. They should welcome citizen input at meetings and ensure that the rules and procedures for these public meetings are clearly understood.

Members should conduct themselves at public meetings in a manner that is fair, understanding, and gracious. Members should be considerate of all interests, attitudes, and differences of opinion. They should also take care to observe the appearance as well as the principle of impartiality.

Members should not accept gifts from applicants or other persons concerned with matters which have been or might come before the commission, committee, or board.

23 Commission Handbook Representing the City Board members, Commissioners, and Committee members should always remember their public or private statements, including in the news media or on social media, may be perceived as representing the City or as being made on behalf of the City, or may be perceived as representing official City policy.

Board members, Commissioners, and Committee members should take care not to state or imply that their views, expressions of opinion, or other statements are an official policy, statement, position, or communication of the City or represent the views of the City or any City officer or employee, unless specific permission has been given to the Board member, Commissioner, or Committee member by the City Council or the City Manager to speak on behalf of the City.

SECTION VII

COMMISSION EFFECTIVENESS

Organized groups exist to complete certain tasks and to achieve certain agreed upon purposes and goals. A commission, committee, or board is a set of individuals held together by a web of inter-relationships and feelings. Members have feelings about themselves, about the group and the group’s tasks.

The nature and intensity of these feelings set the “climate” of the advisory body at any given moment. A positive climate encourages member involvement and responsibility to take actions.

Optimum participation is achieved when members experience encouragement for their contributions, freedom to honestly and freely express their feelings and freedom from internal group strife which interferes with carrying out the body’s tasks.

Optimum productivity is achieved when the body’s stated tasks are understood. Members should keep tasks visibly and clearly defined.

A. FUNCTIONS AND BEHAVIORS

Effective commission, committees and boards usually pay attention to the following functions and behaviors:

 Prioritizing tasks  Anticipating problems  Analyzing problems  Setting clear objectives  Developing actions-options  Deciding  Active listening o Not interrupting o Listening to feelings 24 Commission Handbook o Not judging others o Summarizing and feeding-back  Supporting your colleagues o Accepting their ideas o Showing warmth o Creating opportunities to involve members o Building on members’ ideas o Encouraging different ideas

25 Commission Handbook  Confronting what’s happening o Questioning your and others’ assumptions o Dealing directly with conflict o Focusing attention on the idea, not the person  Diagnosis Skills o How are you working together? o Who isn’t involved? o Where is your help needed? o When are YOU going to help?

B. EFFECTIVE CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

Public hearings or citizen input meetings are difficult to manage. Participants are usually highly motivated and often nervous. When you have a group of potential adversaries in one room, the possibility of uncontrolled conflict is very high. As commission, committee, and board members, your role is to guide conflict to positive results, not to eliminate it, which is usually not possible.

The following suggestions should help manage conflicts and confrontations effectively:

o Anticipate conflicts by doing your homework so you can concentrate on the dynamics of the meeting rather than learning about the topic at hand.

o Treat all sides fairly. Set the rules of the hearing early and make sure everyone abides by them without exception.

o Explain carefully the purpose of the public hearing and what action is expected at the conclusion of the hearing. Insistence on playing by the rules is your best tool for conflict management in public hearings.

o All persons speaking must clearly identify themselves, not only for the record, but also so that you may address them by name.

o Set an acceptable time limit for testimony (generally three minutes) and stick to it.

o Make decisions as promptly as possible. Many commission, committees and bodies get so bogged down in procedural distractions, petty details, and endless searches for more information that the issue never seems to get resolved.

o Try not to overreact to inflammatory comments. Most are expressions of frustration and do not require answers. Try to turn frustration to constructive avenues. Ask questions. Be specific if you can. Refer to the speaker by name. Reinforce areas where you agree. Do not return insult for insult. Your insults can turn the audience against you for your lack of control and nfairness.

o Try to avoid speaker-to-audience conversation. The purpose of a hearing is to help your commission, committee, or board act, not to engage in debate.

o If other members have questions of the speaker, permit these questions only during the speaker’s time at the podium.

26 Commission Handbook

o Be careful not to prejudge the action of the commission, committee, or board. Use the hearing to gather necessary information about the project and individual desires concerning the proposal. Members should not express their views on the proposal until after testimony has ended. Their comments and questions should not suggest a position one way or the other. o Once testimony has ended, each member should be invited to discuss their views on the proposal. o View the public hearing as an example of basic democracy in action at the local level. Make it your personal goal to make the public hearing work.

27 Commission Handbook CONCLUSION

The City would like to thank you for accepting this position and for devoting your time and effort to become actively involved in the affairs of your community. It is sincerely hoped that you will enjoy your participation in the governing process in the City of San Dimas as a member of one of its advisory bodies, and that you will feel totally free to call upon any of its representatives for advice, background information, or assistance.

It is with this in mind that this brief handbook has been prepared. Please consider it a guide as you begin your new duties as a member of an advisory body and not as an all- inclusive restrictive set of regulations.

Welcome aboard.

Agenda Item Staff Report

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council For the meeting of January 12, 2021

From: Chris Constantin, City Manager

Initiated by: Marco A. Espinoza, Senior Planner

Subject: Review of Noticing Requirements and Public Outreach/Noticing Conducted for Specific Plan No. 23 Moratorium. ______

SUMMARY

At the City Council meeting of October 27, 2020, the City Council requested a report from Staff regarding the noticing/public outreach conducted for the moratorium and current Municipal Code Text Amendment for Specific Plan No. 23. Additionally, the City Council requested information related to the City’s requirements for noticing public meetings/hearings.

BACKGROUND

The Community Development Department (hereafter “Department”) is committed to engaging in meaningful public participation. The Department strives to ensure the community has the opportunity to engage in policy and project development throughout the discretionary review processes, and to inform the community regarding how and when to participate in project review.

The California Government Code requires public hearing notices be sent to all property owners within a 300-foot radius of a development site a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the hearing. In addition, the Department also includes tenants within a 300-foot radius.

Based on the legal requirements, Staff has followed the 300-foot radius guidance when conducting public outreach to gather community input on a project unless the project is City initiated.

Item 5C Page 1 Notification Requirements for Public Meetings Page 2 and SP-23 Community Outreach Conducted City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021

The Department schedules/facilitates both public meetings and public hearings. The differences in these types of meetings are as follows:

Public Hearing Public Meeting

• A public hearing is where comments • A public meeting is more of a from the public go into the public discussion between interested parties record. and comments do not go into the public • A public hearing is subject to the record.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

Current Public Outreach Requirements

The San Dimas Municipal Code establishes the following noticing requirements: 1. The notice of the meeting/hearing shall be published in the local newspaper. The notice has the application type, a description of the request for consideration, the time, and location of the meeting, planning department contact information among other informational items (see Exhibit A) 2. First Class Mail – Notices are sent to the applicant and to all property owners and tenants within a 300-foot radius from the external boundaries of the subject site. 3. The agenda is posted in at least three public notice boards (i.e. outside City Hall, inside the LA County Library, and inside the US Post Office).

The following are the Code requirements for notification of meeting/hearing for the various applications offered by the City.

Item 5C Page 3 Notification Requirements for Public Meetings Page 4 and SP-23 Community Outreach Conducted City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021

The cost involved in the notification process is as follows:

1. Newspaper - The cost is anywhere from $750 to $1,000 and more for larger projects due to the project description. 2. First Class Mail - .50 per letter (reduced rate, standard rate is .55 a letter) plus staff time for folding and stuffing each envelope. 3. Posting of agenda – staff time to drive to the different locations, approximately 30 minutes.

San Dimas’ process for notification of public hearings complies with state law and is very similar to surrounding cities, with the exception that the City does not collect a fee for the cost of publication of public hearing notices published in the newspaper, preparation of the radius map, mailing labels, and postage. The average cost to meet the legal requirements for a conditional use permit application is $1,100.00, which does not include staff time.

Staff surveyed other cities within the San Gabriel Valley regarding their notification radius and fees associated in meeting state law requirements. The table below contains the information collected.

The discussion of extending the notification radius was previously discussed by the City Council in 2014 during the initial review of the housing development at 155 N. Eucla Avenue. At that time, the City Council considered extending the notification radius beyond the required 300-foot radius from the project site. However, the City Attorney advised the City Council that notification for all private development should follow the process established in the municipal code to avoid inconsistencies in the process that can have the perception of biases related to proposed projects. Additionally, the City Attorney indicated that the City Council can amend the municipal code and adopt different standards such as increasing the notification radius for private sponsored projects.

City initiated projects can legally expand the notification radius to promote a wider public outreach without the need to amend the municipal code. To provide an example and illustrate the cost associated with public outreach and the number of property owners/residents that would be notified, Staff prepared three (3) radius maps at 300, 500 and 1,000-foot radius from the Walker House located 121 N. San Dimas Avenue (see Exhibit B, C and D).

Distance of Radius Map from No. of Property Owners and Cost of First-Class Mail – Subject Site Tenants Notified by mail .50 a letter

1,000-foot radius 490 $245

Item 5C Page 5 Notification Requirements for Public Meetings Page 6 and SP-23 Community Outreach Conducted City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021

In addition, some projects may include more than one community meeting and more than two public hearings. At this time, the cost of community outreach, including the required newspaper notice, is entirely subsidized by the City.

Notification of Specific Plan No. 23

The City Council adopted a Moratorium on September 24, 2019 effective for 45-days to pause new development within Specific Plan 23 (SP-23). On October 22, 2019, the moratorium was extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days. At that meeting, the City Council discussed expanding the required mailing notification radius beyond 300 feet from the boundary of the subject properties within SP-23 in an effort to encourage as much public participation as possible. During the early part of the moratorium process, Staff conducted two community meetings; one with residents and one with business owners along Bonita Avenue. The subsequent community meeting included both the residents and business owners. The mailing radius generally encompassed south of Gladstone Street, north of Arrow Highway, east of the 57 Freeway and west of San Dimas Avenue. The first community meeting, Staff notified approximately 1,300 property owners and tenants, and 230 downtown merchants (see Exhibit E). The average attendance for the community meetings was 49 attendees or approximately 3% of the people noticed. In addition, the community meetings were also posted on the City’s social media outlets (i.e. City Website, Facebook, and Twitter). Due to the COVID-19 and County Health Orders pertaining to meeting restrictions, no additional in person meetings were conducted.

On May 26, 2020, the City Council repealed the moratorium and initiated a Municipal Code Text Amendment (MCTA) to amend the allowable uses within SP-23. For the MCTA, staff utilized the required 300-foot radius notification based on the following:

1. Housing within SP-23 would not be introduced as an allowable use. The amount of public participation decreased significantly after it was determined housing would not be introduced within SP-23. 2. The developers that were interested in developing the warehouse at 115 N. Cataract Avenue (the Packing House site) had discontinued discussions with the property owner. 3. The cost of mailing notices to 1,530 property owners, residents and merchants would be approximately $765 per meeting (see Exhibit F).

For the Planning Commission public hearings, Staff prepared a 300-foot mailing radius map from the edge of all the three blocks within SP-23. Staff extended the notification radius to include complete blocks rather than just notifying a portion of a block (see Exhibit F). Staff also notified the persons that attended the community meetings that provided their contact information on the sign-in sheets. The radius map resulted in a total of 240 notices being prepared in addition to the 56 notices prepared for those members of the public that requested to be notified, outside the 300- foot radius for a total of 296 notices with a cost $148 per meeting.

Staff prepared two (2) radius maps at different radiuses to illustrate an example of the number of properties that would be included at a 500 and 1,000-foot radius from the three (3) sites within SP- 23 (see Exhibit G and H) and cost associated with each of option.

CONCLUSION

Public participation is a fundamental element of local government processes. Public participation empowers citizens to influence government actions by involvement. Public participation goes beyond the obvious goals of producing better decisions. It also allows for: (1) the principle of fairness or equity; (2) the right of citizens to be informed and to express their views on governmental decisions; (3) the need to represent the interests of disadvantaged and less able (powerless) groups; and (4) the need to capture the insights of citizens.

The Department has begun making use of social media in an effort to expand the community outreach effort and reach different segments of the population. The goal of incorporating the use of social media pages (e.g., Facebook, Twitter and City’s website) to post meeting information is to provide transparency and to build upon the community base already utilizing social media to disseminate and share information.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council considers the following:

1. Continue to require a 300-foot notification radius as currently required by the City’s municipal code. 2. Direct staff to establish the practice of posting all public meetings/hearings on the City’s social media outlets. 3. Direct staff to establish mailing radius of 300’, 500’ or 1,000-foot for City initiated projects (i.e. Rezoning, Municipal Code Text Amendments, General Plan Amendments). 4. Direct staff to continue with the 300-foot radius, in addition to notifying the people who requested to be notified of future public meetings pertaining to SP-23. In addition, Staff shall post all public hearings on the City’s social media outlets.

Subject: Information on Establishing a Public Health Department ______

SUMMARY The City has utilized the County of Los Angeles to provide Public Health Officer services since the incorporation of the City in 1960. At the December 8, 2020 City Council meeting, the Council requested information pertaining to what functions and/or burden would be delegated to the City if the City created its own Public Health Department, how the City currently pays for the County Public Health Officer services, and is there any interest from neighboring cities to create a Public Health Department.

BACKGROUND

The City of San Dimas has utilized the County of Los Angeles to provide Public Health Officer services since the incorporation of the City in 1960. Due to the current pandemic and any future pandemics, at the December 8, 2020 City Council meeting, the Council requested information pertaining to what functions and/or burden would be delegated to the City if the City were to create its own Public Health Department, how the City currently pays for the County Public Health Officer services, and is there any activity from neighboring cities to create a Public Health Department.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS

The City of San Dimas adopted the County of Los Angeles Health Code and adopted San Dimas Municipal Code (SDMC) 8.04.030, which provides that the LA County Health Officer shall carry out and enforce all health code and public health matters in San Dimas. This is why the City is currently governed by County Health Officer orders.

Item 5D Page 1 Information on establishing a Public Health Department Page 2 City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021 San Dimas can elect to take back this authority from the County by adopting an ordinance. However, the earliest that can legally take effect is July 1, 2021. Additionally, taking back the responsibility from the County to carry out and enforce public health laws involves a state accreditation process and would involve a large expense for San Dimas, and likely the creation of a new City department to handle all of the numerous legal requirements and duties of a public health officer.

In an effort to provide more information from a legal perspective about what a health officer’s duties are, the document attached to this report lists every time the term “health officer” is used in California state laws, as of 2018. Next to each citation is a summary of the text and the type of statute, including “Duty”, “Reporting”, “Authority”, “Consultation”, “Approval”. This provides a sense of the responsibilities San Dimas would undertake if the City took the Health Officer authority from the County.

As stated above, creating a public health department comes with a great expense. The County is currently funded to provide Health Officer services to the City through a direct assessment to our residents and businesses via the property tax roll.

Our residents and businesses are assessed a 1% property tax on the assessed value of the home, building, and/or land at the time of purchase and any annual increase based on revised assessed valuation are limited to no more than 2% per Prop 13. Of the 1% collected, 26.44% of those collections are distributed to the County of Los Angeles to be used according to their approved budget uses.

The County of Los Angeles 2020-21 budget lists a number of services including Public Assistance, Public Protection, General Services, Recreation & Cultural, Health & Sanitation, and others. The Health & Sanitation services, which encompasses the Department of Public Health makes up 32% of the County budget.

Of the $5,611,950,646 of assessed valuation of San Dimas properties, roughly $14,837,998 is appropriated to LA County for their services. Based on the Counties budget, roughly $4,748,459 of taxes assessed on San Dimas property owners is used for Health and Sanitation services.

According to our Property and Sales Tax consultants, it is highly unlikely that if the City were to create its own Health Department, it would have an effect on the amount of property tax that is distributed to the County for services. If the City were to create our own Department of Public Health it would have to be funded by the General Fund and or Federal/State grants.

In an effort to get additional information on the funding requirements associated with having a Public Health Officer/Department, staff contacted the City of Pasadena. According to Pasadena, their pre-pandemic Health Officer/Department budget was roughly $15.5M, which is almost all competitive grant funded. Pasadena indicated that they leverage other City departments to fulfill the obligations mandated for a Health Department/Health Officer. These departments include their Police, Fire, and Paramedic services, which all provide in-kind contributions to the overall Pasadena Health Department and its Public Health Officer. Pasadena also indicated that due to the

Item 5D Page 2 Information on establishing a Public Health Department Page 3 City Council meeting of January 12th, 2021 competitive grants required to fund the department, the City has dedicated City Attorneys, City Accountants, and Nurses.

Although the financial obligations are not the only concerns when looking at creating a Public Health Department, they are very significant. Due to most Public Health Funds coming from grants, elimination of available grants or non-awarded grant because of the competitive nature would put the City in a position to have to choose what services to provide to the community. Given the available City resources, funding a City operated Public Health Department would be mandatory, which could leave other non-mandated services and programs subject to less funding.

Staff reached out to the City of West Covina per discussion by the City Council regarding news that they were looking into creating their own Public Health Officer. The City of West Covina has entered into a six-month agreement with Valley Physicians Medical Group Inc. for consulting services related to exploring options for establishing a local health department. West Covina is in the initial stages of discussion, and the agreement is being offered at no cost by the Medical Group. Staff also contacted the cities of La Verne, Claremont, Glendora, and Pomona who are all interested in the West Covina analysis. Staff plans to remain in discussion with the City of West Covina who has offered to provide updates on the findings and status.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council discuss and provide any further direction to staff.

Respectfully submitted,

Brad McKinney Assistant City Manager
