11111hereu, from the time the New World was colonized, all the nations of Europe

yyr

shipped enormous amounts of gold and silver across the Atlantic from Mexico during-the time the country was ruled by Spain; and

Wlaereaa, when the people of Mexico rebelled against Spain and formed an

independent government, all the European nations, anticipating that this independence would fail, facilitated huge financial loans to the Mexican government, hoping to collect much more in return; making Mexico become heavily indebted financially to Spain, Great Britain, and France; and

Whereas, when both Spain and Great Britain threatened to invade Mexico, the French

took advantage of this opportunity to expand their empire under Napoleon III, and, in 1862, began advancing its armed forces from Veracruz into the State of Puebla with the intention of capturing its capitol, the City of Puebla; however, the people of Puebla, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza, were ready to fight, and as the French troops began their attack on the City of Puebla on May 5, the Mexican soldiers accomplished their first defeat of the French; and

Wh ..... , the eventual independence of the Mexican people really began with the

Battle of Puebla; thus, CINCO DE MAYO remains a landmark date in the history of Mexico; and

Whereas, among the many ethnic groups within our City, those of Mexican descent

have been most prominent and deeply rooted in the history of both the City of Gardena and the State of California;

Now, Tllvelore, I, TASHA CERDA, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GARDENA,

CALIFORNIA, do hereby proclaim SATURDAY' MA y � aosa, to be the

in the City of Gardena; and further, urge the entire citizenry to be aware of this special celebration and to encourage participation in the community parade and festival activities planned to memorialize this most significant historical and cultural event

" SAFETY SEAT CHECK-UP WEEK "

- MAY 6 through MAY 12, 2018 -

PROCLAMATIONS 4. B. ( 2)

04/24/2018

TO BE PROCLAIMED ONLY

The number one preventable cause of death and injury involving children and young

adults is the automobile collision. More than 90 child passengers under the age of

fifteen are killed and more than 10,000 injured in automobile collisions in California

each year.

Up to 71 % of these children would be alive today if they had been properly restrained in

crash-tested car safety seats and safety belts.

The State of California requires that all children be properly restrained in child safety

seats or safety belts, in the back seat of motor vehicles, until they are at least eight

years of age, and all other occupants must be properly restrained in safety belts.

SAFETY SEAT CHECK-UP WEEK, MAY 6 through MAY 12, 2018, is sponsored and

supported jointly by The California Office of Traffic Safety; the Pomona Police

Department; Toyota Motor North America; Anaheim Global Medical Center; the Peace

Officers Association of Los Angeles County; and SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A.

Therefore, I, Tasha Cerda, Mayor of the City of Gardena, California, hereby proclaim

MAY 6 through MAY 12, 2018, to be

SAFETY SEAT CHECK-UP WEEK

and urge all Gardena citizens to make use of all resources available to prevent all

passengers, especially innocent children, from suffering unnecessary tragic injury or

death as a result of traffic accidents.

[A FREE Safety Seat Checkup event is scheduled on

PUBLIC HEARING

Agenda Item #6 Conditional Use Permit #3-17 and Site Plan Review #4-18 The applicant requests a conditional use permit and a site plan review for the construction of a new 10,410 square foot, 20 unit single-room occupancy housing development in the Industrial (M-1) zone per Gardena Municipal Code Section 18.36.030(0). The applicant also requests approval of the property management plan. The approval of this project will require filing of a Notice of Exemption as an in-fill project. Project Location: 13919 South Normandie Avenue (APN: 6102-018-017) Applicant: West Realty Group

Community Development Manager Raymond Barragan presented the Staff Report and recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. PC 6-18, approving Conditional Use Permit #3-17, Site Plan Review #4-18, and the project management plan subject to the Conditions of Approval and directing staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

Commissioner Henderson asked why the proposal did not include any affordable housing units.

Mr. Barragan stated that the applicant has the option to provide affordable units and

request density bonuses in that nature; however, this was not part of the proposal. Mr. 1

CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA ITEM #5.B.(1) (b)

APRIL 24, 2018

Barragan went on to say that there are different categories of affordable housing: verylow income, low income, moderate income, and above moderate-income housing, and that this project has the potential to meet one of those categories; however, the project was not being proposed as an affordable housing project.

Vice-Chair Sherman asked if all the units would have ADA compliant bathrooms.

Mr. Barragan stated that the applicant could answer Vice-Chair Sherman's question, however, added that all units had the potential to be converted to have ADA bathrooms.

Chair Jackson then asked the applicant to speak regarding the questions asked.

Don Empakeris, 1535 6th Street, Santa Monica, California 90025, architect of the project, stated that, in terms of affordability, their team was specifically fascinated with the concept of making smaller units and how to make them work especially with the housing crisis that many cities in the Los Angeles area face. Mr. Empakeris went on to state that one way they could provide more affordable housing was by making smaller units, while not sacrificing how the units would work. Mr. Empakeris then stated that all the bottom units of the project would meet the state's requirements for accessibility and that because there is no elevator in the building, the other units would not be adaptable to provide accessible bathrooms.

Chair Jackson asked if the building was required to have an elevator.

Mr. Empakeris stated that in accordance with the California Building Code, if a building is three-stories or less it is not required to provide an elevator; however, it is still required to provide accessible units, that was why the first floor of this proposal was designed to meet accessibility requirements. Mr. Empakeris went on to state that many cities struggle with making streets walkable and that this project took a different approach on this matter. Mr. Empakeris stated that this project took on the design practices from that of Jane Jacobs who spoke of having neighborhoods where people would walk, meet, and interact with others in the public realm.

Chair Jackson asked what the average rent would be for these units.

Mario Savvides, 11901 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angles, California 90025, stated that all the units would have the same rate. Mr. Savvides then stated that while the units were not designated as affordable units, they were designed to be available for those in the workforce. Mr. Savvides went on to explain that teachers, firefighters, police officers, and others in similar workforces would not be eligible for affordable housing due to their level of income, however, that these proposed single-room occupancy units would provide a type of affordable housing to them.

Chair Jackson stated that she was familiar with this type of housing which were similar to that of other housing units located in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles and stated she was impressed with the project.

Commissioner Henderson asked if there was sufficient amount of accessible parking to accommodate the number of potential accessible units.

Mr. Empakeris stated that the project is compliant with all requirements of the California Building Code on this matter and also addressed that the proposal included a bike room to store 20 bicycles, therefore, encouraging other forms of transportation to other residents.

CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA ITEM #5.8.(1) (b)

APRIL 24, 2018

Mr. Savvides and Mr. Empakeris addressed that car share programs are also an ideal form of transportation for the younger market, when they were trying to cater to with this design and added that more millennials are choosing not to drive.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that he felt people often have more than one car and that the project could not accommodate for that. Vice-Chair Sherman then asked if the project would only have six accessible units available.

Mr. Savvides answered "yes" but added that their team has also proposed a 64 unit single-room occupancy project in the City, that would be coming before the Planning Commission soon, and that all 64 units of that project would be able to convert to accessible units.

Chair Jackson stated that in her experience she has also noticed that millennials do not prefer to drive, and further stated that she was impressed with the design of these units. Chair Jackson asked if there would be sidewalk improvements as part of this project.

Mr. Empakeris stated that they would be placing street trees which they hope would enhance the walkability to the neighborhood. Mr. Empakeris also mentioned that each unit would have nine-foot high ceilings and large windows to have the spaces feel larger.

Vice-Chair Sherman mentioned that the financial analysis for the project included two different projects and reflected an analysis based on a 79-unit project with subterranean parking. Vice-Chair Sherman stated that this analysis was flawed because it did not correctly reflect this proposal.

Mr. Savvides stated that the original design was for a total of 79-units, between both projects, with underground parking, however, the construction cost was more than expected and their team would lose millions of dollars with this design. Mr. Savvides then stated that they had to revise their plans to not include the underground parking, however, they were able to include five more units than originally proposed. Mr. Savvides stated that he could not say the financial analysis was flawed since it showed a financial benefit to the City while only accounting for 79-units when in fact the final proposal would include 84-units. Mr. Savvides also stated these projects would provide a slightly larger financial benefit to the City at the same time the City would be providing needed housing.

Mr. Barragan mentioned that as part of the applicant's other project staff could speak with the consultants to see if there would be any changes to these reports, however, staff did not believe there would be. Mr. Barragan then stated that because both projects were being proposed by the same applicants the projects were reviewed together as to achieve economies of scale.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that because these projects were brought up separately the Planning Commission was expected to approve this management plan which accounted for more units.

Mr. Savvides stated that the management plan would not change due to the number of units that it stated.

Mr. Barragan stated that a condition of approval could be added to have the management plan reflect only this project and that mention of any other project could be removed.

CONSENT CALENDAR AGENDA ITEM #5.B.(1) (b)

APRIL 24, 2018

Chair Jackson agreed that the condition should be added. Chair Jackson then opened the public hearing.

Chair Jackson recognized that there were no further public comments and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Henderson requested that this item be continued to the next meeting when all commissioners are present. Commissioner Henderson went on to say that he thought the proposal was a wonderful project but thought it would be beneficial to have the other commissioners' viewpoints brought to this discussion.

City Attorney Peter Wallin stated that under state law the only way this project could be denied by the City was if there was a specific adverse impact on the public health or safety based on objective evidence and noted that there was no objective evidence at this time. Mr. Wallin went on to say that even if all five commissioners were present they would still be in a position where there would be no basis to deny the project because under state law if the project meets all criteria of the City's General Plan and zoning code there would not be an option to deny this project and continuing this item would make no difference in the outcome.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that continuing this item will allow the chance for all commissioners to hear the information presented to them.

Mr. Wallin stated that the entire commission would still be bound by those provisions of state law and did not see any evidence that this project would have any threat to the public health or safety.

MOTION: It was moved by Chair Jackson and seconded by Commissioner Henderson to adopt Resolution No. PC 6-18, approving Conditional Use Permit #3-17, Site Plan Review #4-18, and the project management plan subject to the Conditions of Approval and directing Staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

The motion passed by the following roll call vote:

Ayes: Jackson, Henderson Noes: Sherman Absent: Pierce, Langley

PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMISSION REPORTS

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY Meeting Date: 04/24/2018

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: SECOND AMENDMENT TO ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT WITH CASINO, LLC (LARRY FL YNT'S LUCKY LADY CASINO)


• Conduct a Public Hearing

• Approve Second Amendment to Economic Assistance Agreement withLarry Flynt's Lucky Lady Casino (Casino, LLC), and Authorize the CityManager to Sign

RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

Action Taken

Staff respectfully recommends that City Council conduct a Public Hearing; approve the Second Amendment to the Economic Assistance Agreement with Casino, LLC; and authorize the City Manager to sign.

The Lucky Lady Casino (Casino, LLC) owns 6.4 acres of prime developable excess land which the City wishes to have developed with uses that would significantly benefit north Gardena. Those preferred uses include residential development, a hotel, a bank, a drugstore, and a sit-down restaurant. As an incentive for such development, the Casino owner has proposed that an existing Economic Assistance Agreement with Casino, LLC be modified. That agreement currently provides that the City will reimburse certain eligible expenditures when monthly Casino gross revenue fees exceed $2,000,000 with the reimbursement to be paid through and including July 31, 2024.

This Second Amendment extends the reimbursement period by 18 months, through January 31, 2026, and provides that, effective April 1, 2018. the Casino will be reimbursed for eligible expenditures at the rate of one-half (½) of the gross revenue license fee on gross receipts in excess of $1,000,000 rather than $2,000,000.

However, if desired development is not achieved, much, if not all, of that assistance will be retracted.


See Government Code 53083 analysis included in the Staff Report.

Agenda Item No. 8. A. (1)

Department: Elected/Administrative Offices

Meeting Date: 04/24/2018

AGENDA TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT WITH CASINO, LLC (LARRY FL YNT'S LUCKY LADY CASINO)

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council conduct a Public Hearing; approve the Second Amendment to the Economic Assistance Agreement with Larry Flynt's Lucky Lady Casino (Casino, LLC); and authorize the City Manager to sign.

BACKGROUND:

On July 20, 2016, the City Council approved an Economic Assistance Agreement (Agreement) with Larry Flynt's Lucky Lady Casino (Casino, LLC). That agreement provided economic assistance starting on August 1, 2016, and running through July 31, 2024, a total of eight (8) years. The City agreed to reimburse one-half (50%) of the twelve percent (12%) gross revenue fee on monthly gross revenue in excess of $2,000,000 per month, provided that the reimbursement returned did not exceed eligible promotional expenditures.

Eighty percent (80%) of the reimbursement payments were a grant to support the Company's promotional activities and twenty percent (20%) constituted a loan. The interest-free loan was to be repaid commencing on the eighth {8th} anniversary of the Agreement. Repayment was to be made in a monthly amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the monthly gross gaming revenues of the Card Club in excess of $2,000,000.

To-date, the total economic assistance that the City has provided to the Company is approximately $27,159.00. The total accrued City loan amount to date is $5,431.77.

There currently exists approximately six and four-tenths (6.4) acres of "excess land" surrounding the Casino which is controlled by the Casino. Casino, LLC intends to put the excess land to good and valuable use. One of the options that the Company has considered is the construction of new hotel with a minimum of seventy (70) rooms. Casino is also considering alternate options including a chain grocery store, a full-service drugstore, a department store, a chain office supply store, a full-service bank, a full-service sit-down restaurant, a national quick service restaurant or a strip retail center.

In order for Casino, LLC to be in a viable financial position to realize the uses preferred by the City the Company has proposed a revision of the current Agreement.

The proposed amendment to the Agreement would: • Effective April 1, 2018, lower the gross revenue threshold from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000;• Extend the reimbursement period 18 months to January 31, 2026; and• Eliminate the City loan feature so that only the $5,431.77 accrued to date will be repaid to

the City.Based on 2017 calendar year gross receipts this proposal will reduce the City's card club revenues by approximately $498,000 per year, with an aggregate reduction of $3,984,000 over the 7-year 9-month extended term of the agreement.

1

Agenda Item No. 8. A. (1) Department: Elected/Administrative Offices


A new hotel within the Lucky Lady Casino complex hosts a number of advantageous financial opportunities for the City. The new hotel is anticipated to have a minimum of 70 rooms, up to approximately 100 rooms with a prevailing rate of $200 per night. Approximately $800,000 per year in additional Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) at 100 rooms is forecasted as a result of building a new hotel within the casino property. The TOT rate is 11 % per night which yields a TOT revenue of approximately $800,000 per year.

Casino, LLC has already agreed to sell a portion of the property to a major real estate developer to be developed into a new residential area. It is anticipated that approximately 100 homes will be built as a result of a partial sale of the Lucky Lady Casino property with a valuation of $500,000 per home. The total additional property tax revenues for 100 homes valued at $500,000 is $55,600 per year.

The construction of the hotel and residential project will likely realize one-time revenues from building and plan check fees and permits. It is estimated that the hotel project would likely yield approximately $250,000 in fees and permits and the residential project would likely yield another $250,000 in fees and permits, bringing the total one-time fees revenues to $500,000. In the event that a mixed retail/shopping complex is built in lieu of a hotel, the estimated building and plan check fees would be approximately $70,000 to $140,000 based on a valuation between $5 million to $10 million.

Sales tax revenues from hotel guests and new residents is very difficult to predict, but staff has performed an analysis and projects an annual additional sales tax revenue from hotel guests and new residents to be approximately $910,000 per year.

If a mixed retail/shopping complex is built on the casino property in lieu of a hotel, the City's sales tax revenue substantially decreases. The City's sales tax consultant estimates the sales tax generated by a retail establishment to be about $2.25 per square foot. Based on comparable mixed retail/shopping center complexes located within the City, the proposed site would have approximately 50,000 square feet of retail space. Based on these variables, the estimated total net sales tax revenue to the City can be as much as $112,000 per year. The total projected additional annual revenue to the City without a hotel but with a mixed retail/shopping complex is $167,000 and approximately $320,000 to $390,000 in one-time revenues for building and plan check fees.

If Casino, LLC fails to build a hotel the Company agrees to revise the reimbursement payment retroactively by changing the threshold from $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 effective April 1, 2018, and paying the City the back the difference in monthly amounts equal to two percent (2%) of monthly gross gaming revenues of the Company in excess of $1,000,000: estimated to be approximately $120,000 per year. However, that modification of the threshold will not take place if, in lieu of developing a hotel on the excess land, a chain grocery store, a full-service drugstore, a department store or a chain office supply store; and a full-service bank, a full service sit down restaurant or a national quick service restaurant are developed. The threshold modification will also not take place if a use is developed that will generate 45% of the TOT generated by the Best Western Hotel.

GOVERNMENT CODE § 53083 REPORT

The report required by Government Code § 53083 is based on the additional costs and benefitsto the City if the Agreement is amended as proposed. Government Code§ 53083 requires eachlocal agency, before approving any economic subsidy in excess of $100,000.00, to provide all ofthe following information in written form available to the public, and through the Internet web site.

1) Name of Contracting Party Casino, LLC, a California Limited Liability CompanyLarry Flynt, Manager 8484 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 900Beverly Hills, CA 90211

Larry Flynt's Lucky Lady Casino1045 West Rosecrans Avenue Gardena, CA 90247

2) Economic Assistance Agreement Amendment Start date: April 1, 2018 to January 31, 2026

3) The Economic Assistance Agreement provides public funds to Casino, LLC only from thetax revenue generated by the Company. The Agreement provides that, if City's revenuefrom Gross License fees from Larry Flynt's Lucky Lady Casino exceeds $120,000, fiftypercent (50%) or one-half (½) of the amount received above that amount will bereimbursed to the Company. It is estimated that the City's net revenue for the term of theagreement years will be reduced by approximately $3,984,000, or $498,000 annually.

4) Card club revenue represents eighteen percent (18%) of the General Fund revenue. Anew Hotel will increase the City's Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue byapproximately $800,000 per year. The total increase in TOT over eight (8) years is$6,400,000. In addition to TOT, the City is projected to increase property tax revenue by$55,600 per year and sales tax revenues from new residents and hotel guests willincrease by $910,000 per year.

5) If a mixed retail/shopping complex is built in lieu of a hotel, the projected increase in salestax is approximately $112,000 per year.

6) Building and plan check fees will likely yield the General Fund between $320,000 to$500,000 in one-time revenues due to construction permits and inspections.

The total number of jobs that will be created as a result of construction and operation of the usesunder consideration ranges from 195 to 283 temporary jobs and 76 to 101 permanent jobsdepending upon which development alternatives are ultimately achieved.

The required Public Hearing has been advertised.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Second Amendment to Economic AssistanceAgreement with Casino, LLC, as presented.

Casino which is controlled by the Company, as shown on Exhibit A hereto ("Excess Land"};

WHEREAS, the Company intends to put (or cause/facilitate to be put) the Excess Land to good and valuable use

in an amount equal to one-half (50.0%) of the 12% Gross Revenue License Fees on gross

Ordinance No. 1793


TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA TITLE: ORDINANCE NO. 1793, AMENDING CHAPTER 2.62 OF THE

GARDENA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE

INVESTMENT OF CITY FUNDS


Introduce Ordinance No. 1793


Staff recommends that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 1793, with adoption to be scheduled for the May 8, 2018 meeting.

In 1995, the financial state of many California municipalities was problematic. Due to volatile financial stability during this time, the City of Gardena adopted Ordinance No. 1486 prohibiting the use of a broker, brokerdealer or investment adviser for investment of the City's surplus funds. A review of the ordinances of other South Bay cities found that no other city has placed such a restriction on investment of funds and staff believes that the use of such services would be beneficial to the City's financial well-being.

The proposed amendments to Chapter 2.62 being submitted for Council consideration are:

• Repeal Section 2.62.010, which currently prohibits the use of brokers, broker-dealers or 'investmentadvisers, in connection with the investment of any surplus City funds.

• Renumber Section 2.62.020 and remove language referring to the investment of City funds in "treasurybills and government notes" and instead provide a directive to invest in accordance with the City'sInvestment Policy as adopted by resolution of the City Council.

These proposed changes were discussed and recommended for approval at the March 1, 2018 Finance Committee meeting.

Resolution No. 6320


AGENDA TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 6320, OPPOSING THE TAX FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2018

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:Adopt Resolution No. 6320, Opposing the Tax Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability Act of 2018

STAFF SUMMARY:

Action Taken

Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6320 to oppose the Tax Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability Act of 2018.

The Tax Fairness, Transparency, and Accountability Act of 2018 is an initiative sponsored by the American Beverage Association the trade association of soda companies and the California Business Roundtable, an organization that represents some of the largest interest groups in California. This initiative would drastically limit local revenue authority by increasing voting requirements for general taxes to two-thirds (2/3) approval and it applies retroactively and may void local measures approved by local voters on or after January 1, 2018.

The measure would amend the rules for how the state and local governments can impose taxes, fees, and other charges by doing the following:

• Expand Definition of Tax - The measure would increase the number of revenue proposals subject to thehigher state and local vote requirements for taxes.

• Increase Vote Thresholds for Some Local Taxes - The measure increases the vote thresholds forincreasing some local taxes. Specifically, the measure requires that increases in local general taxes beapproved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the electorate whether sought by local governments or by citizeninitiative.

• Specifying Allowable Uses of Revenues in Certain Cases - The measure requires tax measures to includea statement of how the revenues can be spent. If the revenue is to be used for general purposes, the lawmust state that the revenue can be used for "unrestricted general revenue purposes."

The initiative would make it harder for local citizens and communities to hold individuals and businesses responsible for costs and fees related to items like pollution, rising health care costs, fire hazards, use of emergency services, and destruction of public property.

RESOLUTION NO. 6320

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, OPPOSING THE TAX FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2018

WHEREAS, California's cities, counties and special districts follow strict guidelines and existing statelaw regarding the establishment of reasonable fees and the required voter approval of all local taxes; and

WHEREAS, there is a signature-gathering campaign for a state ballot measure currently sponsored bythe California Business Roundtable that would severely harm the ability of local governments to continue toprovide quality services by imposing onerous roadblocks to raising local revenue to address community needs,services and infrastructure improvements; and

WHEREAS, it is important for local community members, in concert with their duly-elected officials-rather than a special interest group in Sacramento--to determine the services and funding levels appropriate fortheir own cities; and

WHEREAS, the proposed ballot measure would allow businesses to escape from their existingobligations to pay the full cost of services that they request and receive from local agencies and benefit from; and

WHEREAS, the proposed ballot measure would then shift the burden of these uncovered costs frombusiness interests to local general funds supported by taxpayers, and thereby reduce general funds available tosupport police, fire, park, planning, and other community services.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA,DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE, AND RESOLVE, AS FOLWWS:

SECTION 1. The City of Gardena hereby opposes the Tax Fairness, Transparency, and AccountabilityAct of2018 sponsored by the California Business Roundtable on the grounds that this measure would harm theability oflocal communities to adequately fund services.

SECTION 2. The City Manager is hereby directed to email a copy of this adopted resolution to theLeague of California Cities at [email protected]

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of thisResolution; shall cause the same to be entered among the original Resolutions of said City; and shall make aminute of the passage and adoption thereof in the records of the proceedings of the City Council of said City inthe minute of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.

A Applicability of Requirements. Prior to approval of any development project, the applicant shall make provision for, as a minimum, all of the applicable transportation demand management and trip reduction measures. Should any of the requirements herein conflict with the requirements of Part 11 - California Green Building Standards Code of the, as adopted and amended by the City of Gardena, the most restrictive requirement shall prevail.

SECTION 7. CEQA Compliance.

A This Ordinance is exempt from CEQA under the following provisions of the CEQA Guidelines:

1. CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (c)(3) provides that a project is exempt fromCEQA when it is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect. The primary changes in this Ordinance are to bring the City's Municipal Code into compliance with the parking standards for accessible parking required by the California Building Code and the parking requirements for vehicles and bicycles required by the Cal Green Code. As these requirements are already in place due to the fact that State law preempts the City's ordinances, there are no actual changes due to this clean-up. The other primary change is to provide standard tables and charts for parking lot layouts which will not create any environmental impact.

2. CEQA Guidelines section 15305 provides an exemption for minoralterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20% which do not result in changes in land use or density. There is nowhere in the City with an average slope of greater than 20%. The changes in this ordinance do not create any changes in land use or in density allowed in any zone.

B. None of the exceptions to the exemptions set forth in Section 15300.2 areapplicable. The changes in the ordinance will not impact any environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern. There is no cumulative impact relating to these changes,

4

ORDINANCE NO. 1792

nor are there any unusual circumstances. There are no scenic highways in the City. The changes apply Citywide and the approval is not for a project on a Hazardous Waste Site.

C. Staff is directed to file a notice of exemption.

SECTION 8. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 9. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify the passage of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be entered in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make a minute passage and adoption thereof in the records of the meeting at which time the same is passed and adopted; and shall, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption thereof, cause the same to be published as required by law, in a publication of general circulation.

SECTION 1 O. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective on the thirtyfirst day after passage.

DA TE: March 20, 2018

TO: Chair Jackson and Members of the Planning and Environmental Quality Commission

FROM: Joseph Cruz, Director of General Services

CASE PLANNER: Raymond Barragan, Community Development Manager

APPLICANT: West Realty Group, Inc.

LOCATION: 13919 South Normandie Avenue (APN: 6102-018-017)

REQUEST: The applicant requests approval of a conditional use permit and site plan review for the construction of a new 10,410 square foot, 20-unit single

room-occupancy housing development in the Industrial (M-1) zone per

Gardena Municipal Code Sections 18.36.030(0) and 18.44.01 O(E). The applicant also requests approval of the property management plan. The Approval of this project will require direction to staff to file a Notice of

Exemption as an in-fill project.

BACKGROUND

Section 18.36.030(0) of the Gardena Municipal Code allows the development of Single Room Occupancy ("SRO") units in the M-1 zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Section

18.44.0lO(A) and (E) of the City's Code requires Site Plan Review approval for any project which requires a conditional use permit and for multi-family developments of four or more units, respectively.

City records show that the subject property has been vacant since its original subdivision. West Realty Group, Incorporated, the applicant, submitted a pre-application for Conditional Use Permit on March 6, 2017 to construct the 20-unit single-room-occupancy housing development and submitted a full application for Conditional Use Permit on July 21, 2017. The application was

determined to be complete on February 6, 2018. The application was duly noticed on March 8,

2018 for public hearing on March 20, 2018.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SETTING

The subject property is located on South Normandie Avenue at the southwest comer of West 139th

Street. The subject property is adjacent to Industrial (M-1) zoning to the north, west, and south,

and adjacent to Medium-Density Multiple Family Residential (R-3) zoning to the east. Adjacent land uses include a hotel use to the north, multi-family residential uses to the east and south, and

RESO NO. PC 06-18; CUP #3-17; SPR #4-18 March 20, 2018 Page 2 of 8

non-conforming, single-family residential uses to the west. This information is presented in Figure

1 and Table 1.

The site is currently undeveloped with no record of any development previously occurring on-site. The site is approximately 15,350 square feet, and the applicant proposes to construct a three-story, 10,410 square foot, 20-unit single room occupancy community, inclusive of a manager's unit. The proposed structure is of contemporary architectural style. The ground floor includes a ten foot

landscaped setback and the ground floor units have patios that open on to South Normandie Avenue and West 139th Street. The upper floors have recessed windows that look out onto the public right-of-way. Primary pedestrian access is taken from 139th Street and secondary access from a man door adjacent to the vehicle gate and another man door located offNormandie Avenue adjacent to the common outdoor area. Parking for the facility is located adjacent to the building.

The applicant seeks site plan review and a conditional use permit to allow the construction of the proposed project in accordance with Gardena Municipal Code section 18.36.030(0) and Chapter

18.44. Staff recommends the Planning and Environmental Quality Commission approve the site plan review and conditional use permit per the findings of the following analysis.

SITE PLAN REVIEW AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS

Per Gardena Municipal Code (GMC) Section 18.36.030(0), a conditional use permit is required for all single-room occupancy uses in the M-1 zone. Per Gardena Municipal Code section 18.44.01 O(A), site plan review is required for all development projects that are also requesting approval for conditional use permit entitlement. Furthermore, per Gardena Municipal Code section 18.44.01 O(E), site plan review is required for all new multifamily developments of four or more

.------------ --"" -- -

units. Therefore, the following analysis is presented to describe the proposed project and any anticipated effects it may have on other properties in the vicinity and on the city as a whole in order to allow the Planning Commission to make the required findings for the two requested approvals.

Development Standards

The subject property is a 15,350 square foot parcel that fronts South Normandie Avenue to the east, West 139th Street to the north, and private property on all other sides. The proposed structure complies with the development standards of Chapter 18.36 of the Gardena Municipal Code as seen in Table 2.

Parking for the proposed residential uses is consistent with the parking standards of Gardena Municipal Code Chapter 18.36.030(0)(10) as shown in Table 2. Parking standards require a total of 21 parking spaces, one per unit and two for the manager's unit. The proposed project provides

a total of 21 parking stalls, thus compliant with code standard.

Open space requirements per 18.36.030(0)(4) for a project of this character include a minimum of 250 square feet. Common space is defined by the Code as any kind of communal gathering space

such as dining rooms, meeting rooms, recreational rooms, or those of the like. The applicant has far exceeded this requirement by providing a 393 square foot fitness room and 870 square feet of common open space areas. Ground floor units will also have private patio areas. In addition to the normal development standards and findings that have to be made for a CUP, SRO

developments must also meet the requirements set forth in Section 18.36.030(0):

The Gardena Municipal Code requires that a management plan be approved by the Planning commission for SRO developments. The management plan must address the management and operation of the facility, rental procedures, safety and security of the residents and building maintenance. Additionally the Code requires a 24-hour resident manager for any SRO with at least 10 units.

The Management Plan is attached as Exhibit E and staff finds that it complies with the Code requirements.

Parcel Dimensions and Development Aesthetics

The parcel is a square, comer parcel totaling 15,350 square feet. The proposed structure is of contemporary architectural style. The ground floor includes a ten foot landscaped setback with patios opening on to South Normandie Avenue and West 139th Street. The upper floors have recessed windows that help to create a more vibrant fapde. The building will have a white smooth stucco base with olive and mustard accent walls surrounding windowed areas. Corrugated metal and metal handrails complement the stucco walls.

Development Circulation

Primary pedestrian access to the homes will be provided from West 139th Street and South N ormandie A venue.

Automobile circulation onto the site will be provided by a driveway on West 139th Street. The driveway leads to the surface parking lot. Automobiles exiting and entering the parking lot will be able to tum left and right on to West 139th Street.

Traffic studies conducted by Linscott, Law and Greenspan Engineers (Exhibit C) have shown that there will be no adverse traffic impacts as a part of this project.

Fiscal Impact Analysis

All multi-family developments of more than five units are required to provide the City with a Fiscal Impact Analysis that will determine the financial aspects of adding new housing to the City. The City contracted with Stanley R. Hoffman Associates, Inc. to complete this study. The Fiscal Impact Analysis (Exhibit D) studied the revenue and expenses that would result from the proposed

project. The Analysis showed that the recurring revenue for the City's General Fund was $344 after taking into account the recurring revenues of $23,086 and the recurring expenses of $22,742.

Neighborhood Compatibility

Staff finds the proposed structure compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. While the

surrounding area is zoned industrial and has industrial uses in close proximity, the majority ofland uses surrounding the subject area are residential in character. The single-room occupancy community will fit in to the built environment as it will help to improve the aesthetics of the neighborhood while being similar to other multi-family uses.

The design of the building is unique but not seen as incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Massing and appropriate setbacks have created a project that is not overbearing on the existing built environment.

This project is considered more compatible than any industrial project that may arise on this site due to the presence of industrial zoning. Additionally, the property would not support

manufacturing use due to its size. Manufacturing uses typically require larger lots that can accommodate various manufacturing uses and meet the City's development standards. Based on the analysis above, the conditional use permit and the site plan review can be approved due to the fact that the project as proposed meets the development standards and criteria as set forth in Chapters 18.36 and 18.44. Furthermore, the proposed development, including the use and the physical design of the development, is consistent with the intent of the general plan.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY

As discussed above, the proposed project meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of Title l 8,

Zoning, of the Gardena Municipal Code. The proposed project is also consistent with several goals and policies of the Housing Element, Land Use and Community Design Plans of the Gardena General Plan.

Per the City of Gardena's Housing Element Goal 5.0, the City shall, "promote equal opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing of their choice." The project is the first of its kind in the City. Each unit is a 350 square foot, self-sufficient unit and allows for a maximum of two residents per unit. The majority of the housing stock in the City are predominately single family, townhome/condo, or apartments. The proposed project will offer a more compact housing type that can adapt to meet ADA standards (HE Policy5.2). Although the project does not provide for affordable units, the project does broaden the housing options in the City, thus promoting providing opportunity for all residents to reside in the housing of their choice.

The proposed structure has adequate amenities for both the resident and other site users such as a fitness room for residents and areas of both private and common open space (LU Policy 1.5). The development of a residential project on the subject site is considered more compatible with the

surrounding residential uses than if an industrial project were to be constructed on the same site

(LU Policy 1.11 ). Furthermore, the size of the project site limits the development potential for

industrial uses because, as stated before, industrial uses require larger properties.

The modem design of the building includes varied facades that add to the overall aesthetic of the

building without being overpowering or inconsistent with other buildings in the neighborhood (DS

Policy 2.2 and 2.3). Furthem1ore, the contemporary design mimics is industrial in nature; however,


the residential character softens the building's appearance. The aesthetic is more modem than other structures in the neighborhood but is not seen by staff as being incompatible with the neighborhood. Staff believes the design of the building will help to improve the overall aesthetic of the surrounding neighborhood.

The setbacks, massing, articulation, and height limits will not be overbearing on the existing

residential neighborhood (DS Policy 2.9). Landscaped areas along the borders of the property will create a pleasant aesthetic for those passing by on foot or by automobile (DS Policy 2.10). The location of the parking lot to the rear of the building will reduce any blight caused by surface parking lots along street frontages (DS Policy 3 .5).

ENVIRONMENT AL CONSIDERATIONS

The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Guidelines Section 15332, In-Fill Development Projects. The proposed project is a new 10,410 square foot single room occupancy community that is consistent with all applicable general plan and zoning designations and regulations. The project occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres, substantially surrounded by urban uses. The proposed site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The project site is able to be served by all required utilities and public services. After review of the project and

review of appropriate studies related to the project, the City does not foresee any adverse impacts to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

The proposed project is not subject to any of the exceptions for exemption under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines. The location of the project is predominantly urban and not considered a sensitive environment; therefore, the project will not result in any significant impacts that may otherwise occur in a sensitive environmental area. The cumulative impact of this project, and the approval of other projects like it in the vicinity, is not expected to have any significant environmental impact.

The project is not located along any state designated scenic highway nor within any designated hazardous waste site. The site on which the building is proposed is not considered a significant historical site by any governmental body. Staff does not expect any significant impacts or unusual circumstances related to the approval and construction of this project.

Therefore, the proposed project is categorically exempt from CEQA.

Subject:

Mr. William Kavadas Date: September 21, 201 7 City of Gardena Department of Community Development

Clare M. Look-Jaeger. P.E. u-� LLGRef: 1-17-4250-1Chin S. Taing, PTP C5f LLG, Engineers

Trip Generation and Site Access Assessment for 13919 Normandie A venue SRO Project, City of Gardena

Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Engineers (LLG) has prepared this trip generation and

site access assessment for the proposed single room occupancy (SRO) multi-family

residential project located at 13919 Normandie Avenue in the City of Gardena,

California. This trip generation analysis has been prepared to determine the forecast

project trip generation as well as provide an overall review of the site access and

circulation scheme for the project.

Briefly, it is concluded that the proposed project is anticipated to result in an increase

of 220 new daily vehicle trips, 17 AM peak hour vehicle trips and 20 PM peak hour

vehicle trips. While the City of Gardena does not have formal adopted thresholds for

the preparation of a traffic impact study, the forecast project trip generation would

not be expected to appreciably alter current traffic operations or be discemable to

motorists. These increases correspond to only one vehicle every three minutes during

both the AM and PM peak hours. Thus, it is LLG's opinion that preparation of a

formal traffic impact study should not be required.

This memorandum provides a description of the existing setting, a summary of the

proposed project description; a review of the project site access and circulation

scheme; a summary of the project trip generation; and a summary conclusion

regarding the proposed project.

Existing Setting

The existing site is comprised of a vacant rectangular lot totaling approximately

15,350 square feet and has a site address of 13919 Normandie Avenue. The existing

site is located at the southwest comer of the Normandie Avenue/139th Street

intersection. The project site location and general vicinity are illustrated in Figure 1.

The site is generally bounded by 139th Street to the north, multi-family residential use

to the south, Normandie Avenue to the east, and single-family residential use to the

west. Figure 2 provides an aerial illustration of the existing project site. No existing

driveway curb cuts are currently provided along the Normandie Avenue and 139th

Street project frontages.

Project Description

The proposed project consists of the construction of 33 single-room occupancy (SRO)

multi-family residential rental units. Each of these micro-units will provide

approximately 350 square feet of living space with one full bathroom and an all

electric kitchen with private balconies/patio space. The unit mix is planned to

comprise of 18 townhouse units (i.e., Unit Type A) and 15 flat units (i.e., Unit Type

B). On-site amenities for the residents will also include a fitness room and outdoor

communal areas provided on the ground floor. The ground floor site plan for the

proposed project is illustrated in Figure 3A. Project construction schedule is

expected to commence in the first quarter of year 2018 with buildout and occupancy

anticipated by the third quarter of year 2019.

Site Access and Circulation Review

Vehicular access to the project site is planned to be provided via a single project

driveway located at the southeast comer of the project site on Normandie Avenue.

No driveway curb cuts are proposed along the 139th Street project frontage. The P l

parking level plan, as shown in Figure 3B, provides an illustration of the

subterranean parking level and internal site circulation scheme for the proposed

project.

Based on information provided, a total of 34 vehicular parking spaces will be provided within one subterranean parking level. As indicated in Section 18.40.070.B of the City of Gardena Municipal Code, Additional standards for residential parking areas, driveways serving less than 20 parking spaces shall have a minimum width of 10 feet and driveways serving 20 or more parking spaces shall have a minimum width of 20 feet. As shown in the project site plan, a total of 34 spaces are provided within the parking area that will be accessed via the proposed project driveway planned to access the garage. Thus, the proposed project driveway width of 21 feet meets the minimum Code requirement of 20 feet needed for driveways serving 20 spaces or more.

Figures 4A and 4B illustrate the inbound and outbound vehicle maneuvers within the

Pl parking garage level, respectively. An analysis of vehicle turning maneuvers of

various spaces within the garage has been prepared using the AutoTURN software

package. The standard passenger vehicle template is based on the specifications as

outlined according to AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and

Transportation Officials) for the design vehicle type. As shown in Figure 4A, in

order for a motorist to enter the first parking space to the right after proceeding down

the entrance/exit ramp, the motorist would need to conduct multiple maneuvers in

order to enter the parking space. The motorist would continue past the parking space

engineers


and then back up into the southwest comer of the garage before proceeding forward

in order to park in that space. While the traffic volumes entering the garage are

anticipated to be relatively low, this introduces a potential circulation and conflict

issue should another motorist be entering the garage at the same time. For the

outbound scheme as shown in Figure 4B, one of the parking spaces located in the

southeastern portion of the parking garage may likely require the motorist to conduct

multiple maneuvers in order to complete the outbound maneuver without encroaching

upon the pedestrian walkway or other spaces on the opposite side of the drive aisle.

Project Trip Generation Determination

Traffic volumes expected to be generated by the proposed project during the AM and

PM peak hours, as well as on a daily basis, were estimated using rates published in

the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation Manual'. Specifically, the daily, AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes expected to be

generated by the project were forecast based on ITE Land Use Code 220 (Apartment)

trip generation average rates which are most applicable for the proposed multi-family

rental units.

The traffic generation forecast for the proposed project is summarized in Table 1. As

shown in Table I, the proposed project is forecast to result in 17 new AM peak hour

vehicle trips (3 inbound trips and 14 outbound trips) and 20 new PM peak hour

vehicle trips (13 inbound trips and 7 outbound trips). Over a 24 hour period, the

proposed project is forecast to generate 220 new daily trip ends (110 inbound trips

and 110 outbound trips) during a typical weekday.

Summary

At full build-out and occupancy, the proposed project is anticipated to result in an

increase of 220 new daily vehicle trips, 17 AM peak hour vehicle trips and 20 PM

peak hour vehicle trips. While the City of Gardena does not have formal adopted

thresholds for the preparation of a traffic impact study, the forecast project trip

generation would not be expected to appreciably alter current traffic operations or be

discemable to the traveling public. These increases correspond to only one vehicle

every three minutes during both the AM and PM peak hours. Thus, it is LLG's

opinion that preparation of a formal traffic impact study should not be required.

However, it is recommended that further review be undertaken in terms of the project

site access and circulation scheme, specifically regarding the proposed configuration

of the parking garage level as the current configuration requires multiple maneuvers

for two comer spaces within the garage and could present a potential circulation

concern, although short-term in nature.

the trip generation and site access assessment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Executive Summary presents the projected fiscal impacts to the City of Gardena after full

buildout of the proposed 33 apartment units at 13919 South Normandie Avenue and the

proposed 46 apartment units at 16819 South Normandie Avenue projects in the City of

Gardena. Recurring revenues and costs for the City General Fund are projected in constant

2017 dollars, with no adjustment for inflation.

The City General Fund provides general government; police protection; fire protection

(including dispatch and emergency preparedness); public works including operations and

maintenance of off-site streets, signals, signage, engineering and equipment; community

development services including permitting and building services and planning services;

recreation, human services and maintenance of public grounds and facilities.

ES.1 13919 South Normandie Avenue (33 Units)

Project Description

The proposed 13919 Normandie Avenue 0.39-acre project site is currently vacant and is located

at the southwest corner of the intersection of 139th Street and Normandie Avenue in Gardena,

as shown in Figure 1.

The 13919 South Normandie Avenue project proposes 33 residential apartment units, as shown

in Table 1. Buildout population is estimated at 36, for an overall average of 1.1 persons per

unit Net new incremental assessed valuation is estimated at about $6.15 million.

Projected Recurring Fiscal Impacts

As shown in Table 2, a net recurring surplus of $344 is projected to the City's General Fund for

the 13919 South Normandie Avenue project after buildout. The projected surplus is based on

projected recurring revenues of $23,086 and projected recurring costs of $22,742. Fiscal

impacts are projected in constant 2017 dollars with no adjustment for future inflation.

The major recurring revenues for the Genera, Fund after buildout of 13919 South Normandie

are property tax, property tax in lieu of motor vehicle license fees, sales and use tax and utility

users tax. Major Genera! Fund recurring costs after buildout are police and fire protection.

CHAPTER 2

13919 SOUTH NORMANDIE AVENUE {33 UNITS)

This chopter presents the detailed development description and projected fiscal impacts to the

Gardena General Fund for the proposed 13919 South Normandie Avenue project after full

buildout.

2.1 Development Description After Buildout

The proposed project site at 13919 South Normandie Avenue is a relatively level vacant parcel

of about 0.39 acres located at the southwest corner of Normandie Avenue and West 139th

Street. As shown in Figure 2-1, the site is bounded by West 139 th Street to the north,

Normandie Avenue to the east a 2-story apartment complex to the south and a single family

residence to the west.

Units and Population

The 13919 South Normandie Avenue proposed project includes a new 3 story building with 33

residential units and one level of subterranean parking. As shown in Panel B of Table 2-1, the

project includes the following unit breakdown:

• 18 townhouses with an average size of 350 square feet• 15 flats with an average size of 350 square feet

Based on the developer's experience with similar residential products, 1.1 persons per unit are

assumed. The total population after buildout for the project is estimated at 36 persons.

Net New Assessed Valuation

Net new assessed valuation is estimated at about $6.15 million after buildout of the 13919

South Normandie Avenue project, as shown in Panel D of Table 2-1. The projected new

valuation is about $6.48 million based on the average value per unit of $196,360 from the

project developer, as presented in Table 2-2. The estimated existing valuation of $330,106 from

the Los Angeles County Assessor 2017 tax roll values, as shown in Table 2-3, is subtracted from

the new valuation for an estimated net new valuation of about $6.15 million.

2.1.1 Projected Property Tax and Property Tax in Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (VLF)

Table 2-4 presents the projected property tax to the City General Fund and the projected

property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees (VLF} to the City for the project after buildout.

The total one percent property tax of the $6.15 million net incremental value of the project

after buildout is projected at about $61,498, as shown in Panel B of Table 2-4. Based on the

projected property tax increment, the City's General Fund share is projected to be about $6,849

annually in net property tax revenues after buifdout. Property tax to the General Fund is

projected at 11.14 percent of the basic one percent property tax levy, which is the average

allocation to the City General Fund for the tax rate area (TRA) in which the project site is

located, as shown in Appendix Table A-4.

Projected Annual Property Tax In-Lieu VLF

Per State law, the City's General Fund will also receive property tax in lieu of vehicle license fees

(VLF) based on the change in the City's gross assessed valuation of taxable property for new

development. As shown in Panel C of Table 2-4, annual property tax in lieu of VLF for 13919

South Normandie Avenue is projected at $5,842 after buildout. Property tax in lieu of VLF in

the City is projected to increase at $950 per million dollars of new assessed valuation (AV), as

shown in Appendix Table A-7.




2.1.2 Projected Retail Sales and Use Tax

Sales and use tax is projected for retail taxable sales that will be captured in the City from

purchases made by the future residents of the 13919 South Normandie Avenue development.

Retail sales and use tax are projected based on the new resident's estimated household income

and estimated taxable retail purchases made in the City.

Annual household income for the project is estimated at about $1.57 million after buildout, as

shown in Table 2-5. Household income is estimated at $47,674 per household based on the U.S.

Census Bureau American Community Survey {ACS) 5-Year Estimates, Median Household Income,

Gardena, California. Based on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey,

the fiscal analysis estimates that the future residents of 13919 South Normandie Avenue will

generate total taxable retail purchases at about 32 percent of total household income for total

annual retail taxable sales of $503,437.

The fiscal analysis assumes that 50 percent of the retail taxable purchases, or an estimated

$251,719, will be made annually in the City. At one percent of the estimated $251,719 taxable

sales captured in the City, sales tax is projected at $2,517 after buildout. At the City average use

tax rate of 14.3 percent of sales tax, an additional $360 of use tax is projected after buildout.

Total annual sales and use tax captured in the City by the future residents of 13919 South

Normandie Avenue is estimated at $2,877 after buildout.

2.2 Fiscal Impacts

Projected recurring fiscal impacts to the City for the 13919 South Normandie Avenue project

after buildout include recurring impacts to the City's General Fund. Fiscal impacts are shown in

constant 2017 Dollars, with no adjustment for possible future inflation.

A net recurring surplus of $344 is projected to the General Fund for the 13919 South

Normandie Avenue project after buildout. As shown in Table 2-6, the projected surplus is

based on projected recurring revenues of $23,086 and projected recurring costs of $22,742.

Major Recurring City General Fund Revenues and Costs

CHAPTER4

FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS ASSUMPTIONS

This chapter presents the revenue and cost assumptions for the fiscal impact analysis of the

proposed 13919 and 16819 South Normandie Avenue apartment projects. The general City

demographic and economic assumptions used for calculating fiscal factors are first presented.

The assumptions for projecting recurring revenues are then presented followed · by the. ..... .,.assumptions for projecting recurring costs. The City's Fiscal Year 2017-2018 adopted revenues

and costs, as presented in the City's Adopted Budget, Fiscal Year 2016/2017 and Fiscal Year

2017 /2018 and the fiscal methodology for previous fiscal studies prepared by the fiscal

consultant for the City are used for calculating the fiscal factors.

4.1 City General Assumptions

Fiscal impacts that are not based on valuation and taxable sales are generally projected based

on a per capita, per employee, or per service population basis. General fund revenue and cost

factors are estimated by dividing the Fiscal Year {FY) 2017-2018 Adopted Budget categories by

the City's estimated population, estimated employment or estimated total service population.

Table 4-1 provides the City's general assumptions for this fiscal analysis.

Population

As shown in Table 4-1, the State Department of Finance (DOF) estimates the City's January 1,

2017 total population at 60,721 (59,927 household population and 794 group quarters'

population).

Housing Units

DOF estimates 21,794 total housing units for the City of Gardena for January 1, 2017. OOF

estimates that 20,852 units are occupied.

Average Household Size

DOF estimates the City's average household size at 2.87 persons per household based on a

household population of 59,927 and occupied housing units of 20,852. However, based on the

developer's experience with similar residential projects, the average household size of 1.1

persons per household is used for projecting the population for the new residential units in the

13919 and 16819 South Normandie Avenue projects.

California Association of Governments (SCAG), RTP Adopted 2016 Growth Forecast.

3. The total estimated City employment is weighted by 93 percent based on the Census Bureau's Longitudinal EmployerHousehold Dynamics (LEHD) Survey estimates of the share of total employment that comes from outside the City,as shown in Appendix Table A-1 and Appendix Table A-2.

4. The total estimated employment was weighted by 50% to account for the estimated less frequent use of City publicservices by employment versus population.

for Gardena, California, 2014




Employment

The City employment estimate of 70,300 for the year 2016 represents an interpolation of the

years 2012 and 2020 from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Adopted

2016 Regional Transportation Plan Growth Forecast. As shown in Appendix Table A-1 and

Appendix Table A-2, according to the Bureau of Census longitudinal Employer-Household

Survey for 2014, about 93 percent of the City's employment represents workers from outside

the City. When this 93 percent is applied to the 2017 estimated total employment of 30,300,

employment commuting from outside the City is estimated at 28,179.

Service Population

City fiscal factors that are impacted by both population and employment growth are estimated

by allocating total budgeted revenues or costs to both population and employment For these

revenues and costs, the City employment estimate from outside the City, or 28,179, is weighted

at 50 percent to account for the estimated less frequent use of City public services by

employment versus population.

As shown in Table 4-1, Gardena's service population is estimated at 74,811, or the sum of the

resident population of 60,721, and 50 percent of the estimated workers from outside the City,

or 14,090.

4.2 Revenue Assumptions

The City General Fund revenue factors that are used in preparing the fiscal analysis for the

13919 and 16819 South Normandie Avenue project are presented in Table 4-2. These factors

are based on the City's Fiscal Year {FY) 2017-2018 General Fund adopted revenues, as shown in

Appendix Table A-3, and the City's population, employment and service population estimates

that are presented in Table 4-1.

Projected recurring revenues to the City General Fund include property tax; sales and use tax;

franchise fees/administration fees; document transfer tax; business licenses tax, utility user tax;

motor vehicle license revenues; in-lieu property tax (VLF); fines and forfeitures; rents and

concessions; revenues from other agencies; recreation fees; police and franchise service

charges; other revenues; charges to other funds; State gasoline tax transferred to the General

Fund.

Property Taxes - General Fund

Property tax revenues are projected based on the City's share of the one percent property tax

levy of the estimated net assessed valuation for the proposed 13919 and 16819 South

Norman die Avenue development. The current al!ocation rates of the one percent property tax

in the tax rate area (TRA) for the project are presented in Appendix Table A-4 {33 Unit Project}

and Appendix Table A-5 (46 unit project).

As shown in Table 4-2, the General Fund property tax allocation of the basic one percent

property tax levy is estimated to average 11.14 percent for the 33 unit project and 11.16

percent for the 46 unit project based on the City's General Fund average property tax allocation

for the tax rate areas in which the proposed projects are located. Net property tax revenues for

the City General Fund are projected as total assessed value times the basic 1 percent ad

valorem tax times the City's General Fund property tax allocation percent, less any existing

property tax revenue.

Sales and Use Tax

As part of the total sales tax levied by the State, all cities and counties in the State generally

receive a basic one percent (1.0 percent) sales tax and have the option to levy additional sales

taxes under certain circumstances. In addition to sales tax revenue, the City receives revenues

from the use tax, which is levied on shipments into the state and on construction materials for

new residential and non-residential development not allocated to a situs location. Use tax is

allocated by the State Board of Equalization (BOE) to counties and cities based on each

jurisdiction's proportion of countywide and statewide direct taxable sales.

Use Tax. Use tax revenues to Gardena are estimated at an additional 14.3 percent of point-of

sa!e sales tax, as shown in Appendix Table A-6. Calendar Year 2016 sales tax data provided by

Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates (HdL) estimates that $1,394,037 of total sales and use tax

were made from levies designated as use tax and the remaining $9,743,741 of the sales and use

tax was point-of-sale sales tax. Therefore, use tax revenues to the City of Gardena are

estimated at an additional 14.3 percent of point-of-sale sales tax.

Franchise Taxes/Franchise Utility Fees

The City collects these fees for use of City right of way from operators of private businesses that


24 13919 South Normandie A venue and 16819 South Normandie Avenue


provide utilities {such as oil, gas and other substances per the City's "pipeline franchise [aw"},

cable services, waste haulers and auto towing within Gardena. As shown in Table 4-2, franchise

fees are projected at $33.51 per service population based on FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues

of $2,506,750 and the service population estimate of 74,811.

Document Transfer Tax

Sales of real property are taxed by the County of Los Angeles at a rate of $1.10 per $1,000 of

property value and divided equally between the City and the County for property located in the

City, with the City receiving $0.55 per $1,000 of transferred property value. Based on data from

the U.S. Census Bureau, 2010-2014 American Community Survey, for the fourteen year period

from 2000 to 2014, residential development in Gardena is estimated to change ownership at an

average rate of about 3 percent per year, as shown in Appendix Table A-7.

Business License Tax

These revenues are projected at $81.52 per employee based on FY 2017-2018 proposed

revenues of $2,470,000 and the City employment estimate of 30,300 for 2017.

Utility User Tax

Gardena levies a 5 percent utility user tax on the sale of electricity, natural gas, water and

telephone (including cellular) within the City. Based on the City FY 2017-2018 adopted revenue

amount of $5,900,000 for utility user taxes and the service population estimate of 74,811,

utility user taxes are projected at $78.87 per service population, as shown in Table 4-2.

Motor Vehicle License (MVL) In-Lieu

MVL revenues are projected at $0.66 per capita based on the City of Gardena FY 2017-2018

adopted revenues of $40,000 and the City of Gardena population estimate of 60,721.

Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fee

Cities and counties began receiving additional property tax revenue to replace vehicle license

fee (VLF) revenue that was lowered when the state reduced the vehicle license tax in 2004.

This property tax in lieu of VLF is projected to grow with the change in the Citywide gross

assessed vafuation (AV) of taxable property from the prior year. Property tax in lieu of VLF

revenue is allocated in addition to other property tax apportionments. As shown in Appendix

Table A-8, the property tax in lieu of VLF in the City is projected to increase at an average of


25 13919 South Normandie Avenue and 16819 South Normandie A venue


$950 per million dollars of new AV. This factor is based on the change in AV and the change in

property tax in lieu of VLF in the City over the last 5 years.

Fines and Forfeitures

As shown in Table 4-2, these revenues are projected at $14.03 per service population based on

FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues of $1,049,500 and the City's service population estimate of

74,811. These revenues include vehicle code fines, parking citations and court fines.

Rents and Concessions

Based on the City FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues of $145,000 and the City of Gardena

population of 60,721, rents and concessions are projected at $2.39 per capita.

Revenues from Other Agencies

These revenues include allocations from other agencies, such as the public safety augmentation

revenues from Proposition 172, POST reimbursement and other mandated reimbursements. As

shown in Table 4-2, revenues from other agencies are estimated at $9.06 per capita based on

FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues of $550,000 and the City population estimate of 60,721.

Recreation Fees

These revenues are projected at $5.43 per capita based on FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues

$329,700 and the City's population estimate of 60,721.

Police and Franchise Service Charges

These revenues are projected at $11.11 per service population based on estimated FY 2017-

2018 adopted revenues of $831,500 and the City's service population estimate of 74,811.

Other Revenue

Other revenues include sales of real and personal property and miscellaneous other revenue.

Other revenues are projected at $3.95 per service population based on FY 2017-2018 adopted

revenues of $295,500 and the City's service population estimate of 74,811.

Charges to Other Funds

This category includes services provided to various City funds, primarily charges to the transit

system. Charges to other funds are projected at $29.20 per service population based on

estimated FY 2017-2018 adopted revenues of $2,184,796 and the City's service population

estimate of 74,811.


26 13 919 South Norman die A venue and 16819 South Nonnandie A venue


State Gasoline Tax Transferred In

The fiscal analysis includes only the State gasoline revenues that are projected to transfer to the

General Fund for operations and maintenance expenditures. As shown in Table 4-2, the State

gasoline tax to the General Fund is projected at $17.81 per capita based on FY 2017-2018

adopted budget transfer revenues of $1,087,477 and the City's population estimate of 60,721.

4.3 Cost Assumptions

Recurring costs associated with the proposed development include general government, police

protection; fire protection; Citywide public works functions; community development; and

Citywide recreation, human services, parks and facilities. Cost factors that are used in

preparing the fiscal analysis for the 13919 and 16819 South Normandie Avenue project for the

City's General Fund are presented in Table 4-3. These factors are based on the City's FY 2017-

2018 General Fund adopted budget shown in Table 4-4, and the City's population, employment

and service population estimates that are presented in Table 4-1. Water and solid waste

operations costs are not assumed to impact the General Fund because they are enterprise

functions and any increased operations costs are assumed to be covered through the payment

of user fees and charges.

General Government

General government costs for Gardena include City Clerk, General Election, City Treasurer,

Executive Offices, Human Resources, Administrative Support, Fiscal Resources, Technology

Resources and Non-Departmental Services (except contract services for fire, dispatch and

emergency preparedness) which represent overhead services and cannot be directly linked to a

specific development project. General government costs arise from the administration and

support of departmental fine costs such as police, fire and public works. These costs are

typically viewed as citywide overhead and are projected using an overhead rate applied to

departmental line costs.

As shown in Panel A of Table 4-4, general government costs are estimated at $8,945,370 and

direct departmental costs (or non-general government costs) are estimated at $46,686,413. As

shown in Panel B of Table 4-4, average genera! government costs are projected at about 19.2

percent of direct non-general government costs. Genera! government costs for the 13919 and

2. The calculation of the general government overhead rate is presented in Table 4-4.

3. These contract costs of $10,464,510 are Included as non-departmental costs in the City Budget The fiscal analysis assumes these costs are equivalent to a departmental budget category and Include fire p rotection provided by the los Angeles County Fire District, 911 services provided by South Bay Regional Communication Center (RCC) and emergency preparedness provided through Area G services.

4. While there are no internal project streets being pub/Jcly maintained, the fiscal analysis projects Impacts for the these services from the project at the pro rata share of current Citywide average costs.

5, Net public works and community development costs are projected because projected revenues from one-time charges such as building permits and impact fees, which are not projected in the flscal analysis, are assumed to offset some of the projected public works and community development costs, as shown In Appendix Table A-9. After project completion, ongoing community development costs are rnnsid ered minima!.

6. The fiscal analysis projects impacts for these services from the project at the current Citywide average. Impacts on civic facilities from the project are not assumed to increase on a one-to-one basis. Therefore the flscaf anafysls projects costs far civJc facWties maintenance at 50 percent,

as shown in Appendix Table A-10.

Police Services

As shown in Table 4-3, based on adopted expenditures of $25,294,229 for FY 2017-2018� and

the City's estimated service population of 74,811, police costs are projected at $338.11 per

service population.

Public Safety - Fire Protection, Regional Communication Center (RCC) and Area G Services

Public safety costs are included in the City budget as non-departmental costs because these

public safety services are provided on a contract basis. However, the fiscal analysis assumes

these services are equivalent to departmental costs and include the following:

• Fire Protection - provided by Los Angeles County Fire District• 911- provided by South Bay Cities Regional Communication Center• Emergency Preparedness - provided by Area G Services

As shown in Table 4-3, these public safety costs are estimated at $139.88 per service population

based on FY 2017-2018 adopted expenditures of $10,464,510 and the City service population

estimate of 74,811.

Citywide Public Works

There are no internal project roads, and project landscaping will not be maintained by the City.

However, the fiscal analysis projects the project's impacts on Citywide public works functions of

public works administration; street maintenance; traffic signals and signs; engineering; and

equipment maintenance,

As shown in Table 4-3, Citywide public wor,ks costs are projected at $23.15 per service

population based on FY 2017-2018 adopted net public works costs of $1,731,665 and the City

service population estimate of 74,811.

As shown in Panel A of Appendix Table A-9, the total General Fund public works costs of

$2,993,065 are offset by one-time public works fees of $1,261,400, leaving estimated net public

works costs of $1,731,665. This results in costs of $23.14 per service population




Community Development

The total General Fund FY 2017-2018 adopted community development costs of $1,574,340 are

offset by one-time development related permits and fees. As shown in Panel B of Appendix

Table A-9, these one-time development related revenues include building and other permits,

public service/development fees and planning fees. Ongoing community development costs

are considered minimal and are not projected in the fiscal analysis.

Citywide Recreation, Human Services, Parks and Civic Facilities

As shown in Table 4-3, these costs are estimated at $75.24 per capita based on FY 2017-2018

adopted net costs of $4,568,682 and the City population estimate of 60,721. Costs for civic

building and civic center grounds maintenance are not assumed to increase on a one-to-one

basis as a result of the project. Therefore the fiscal analysis projects costs for civic facilities

maintenance at 50 percent of direct recurring costs. As shown in Appendix Table A-10, with

these adjusted costs, total net costs for citywide recreation, human services, parks and civic

facilities are estimated at $4,568,682. This results in costs of $75.24 per service population.

NM will lease and manage the apartments from a leasing office located within the building during business hours.

This office will also be available for maintenance, janitorial and repair service staff during business hours and we

expect to have a minimum of one live-in manager on the premises. For after-hours emergencies, we will have a

24-hour phone number to call in addition to the live-in manager.

3.0 Management Operations

Management of operations will focus on 4 main areas:

1. Leasing.

2. Maintenance and repair (including emergencies).

3. Accounting of all business operations.

4. Security of tenants and property.

3.1 Management Team

The management team will be mostly departmentalized. Employees are delegated tasks based upon their

specialty. Initial staff will include members already integrated with NM as well as additional staff with

appropriate experience. At NM, we prefer to hire staff rather than outsource to ensure that our customer

service and quality of work remains consistent with NM's mission.

The initial expected staffing is as follows:

-2 full-time managers: Job responsibilities include managing operations, overseeing staff, overseeing

advertising and accounting. Responsibilities may also include some after-hours emergency calls if needed.

-2 part-time leasing agents: Job responsibilities will be leasing of the residential units. This includes follow-up

on advertising, communications with prospective tenants, apartment showings, processing of paperwork and

tenant move-ins.

-1 part-time maintenance technician: Job responsibilities will include all in-house maintenance and repair issues

including after-hour emergency calls. Job responsibilities may also overlap with janitorial staff.

-1 part-time janitorial personnel: Job responsibilities will include 6 times per week cleaning and maintenance. Job

responsibilities may overlap with the maintenance technician and may also include after-hours emergencies.

-In addition to our regular staff, there may be occasion to use trained temp-staffing to fill in any gap or

emergency that may arise.

3.2 Leasing

The leasing of the apartments will be performed in a manner that is professional, consistent with our customer

service objectives and in accordance with all local, state and federal guidelines. At NM, we have a vested interest

•

N ormandie Apartments in creating and maintaining a relationship with our residents. We want to provide great apartments with great

customer service. This includes making the leasing process as hassle-free as possible.

3.2.1 Leasing Process

Normandie Ave. Apartments will be leased to market rate rental residents. The process for leasing an

apartment will include the following steps:

1. An application must be completed to determine credit worthiness, income eligibility, and rental

history. At NM, we are experienced in processing this type of information quickly and efficiently.

We also understand the importance of protecting an individual's privacy and personal information.

Only limited authorized staff or auditors will have access to sensitive personal information of

applicants and tenants.

2. After eligibility is approved and verified with the appropriate backup documents, we

will sign a lease for the specific apartment to be rented. The minimum lease term shall

be 30 days. At the time of lease signing we shall collect the first month's rent and an applicable

security deposit.

3. If an applicant is denied based on credit or eligibility requirements they shall receive a written notice of

such denial.

4. Once a lease is signed then the new tenant receives copies of the signed lease, rules and

regulations, Gym rules and a packet of helpful information regarding the building and the local area.

Move in is scheduled for all new tenants so as not to conflict with other move-ins.

3.2.2 Leasing Documents

The leasing documents are generally composed of the following items:

1. Application

2. Lease

3. Rules and Regulations

4. Addendums

PUBLIC HEARING

Agenda Item #6 Conditional Use Permit #3-17 and Site Plan Review #4-18 The applicant requests a conditional use permit and a site plan review for the construction of a new 10,410 square foot, 20 unit single-room occupancy housing development in the Industrial (M-1) zone per Gardena Municipal Code Section 18.36.030(0). The applicant also requests approval of the property management plan. The approval of this project will require filing of a Notice of Exemption as an in-fill project. Project Location: 13919 South Normandie Avenue (APN: 6102-018-017) Applicant: West Realty Group

Community Development Manager Raymond Barragan presented the Staff Report and recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. PC 6-18, approving Conditional Use Permit #3-17, Site Plan Review #4-18, and the project management plan subject to the Conditions of Approval and directing staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

Commissioner Henderson asked why the proposal did not include any affordable housing units.

Mr. Barragan stated that the applicant has the option to provide affordable units and request density bonuses in that nature; however, this was not part of the proposal. Mr.

1

Barragan went on to say that there are different categories of affordable housing: verylow income, low income, moderate income, and above moderate-income housing, and that this project has the potential to meet one of those categories; however, the project was not being proposed as an affordable housing project.

Vice-Chair Sherman asked if all the units would have ADA compliant bathrooms.

Mr. Barragan stated that the applicant could answer Vice-Chair Sherman's question, however, added that all units had the potential to be converted to have ADA bathrooms.

Chair Jackson then asked the applicant to speak regarding the questions asked.

Don Empakeris, 1535 6th Street, Santa Monica, California 90025, architect of the project, stated that, in terms of affordability, their team was specifically fascinated with the concept of making smaller units and how to make them work especially with the housing crisis that many cities in the Los Angeles area face. Mr. Empakeris went on to state that one way they could provide more affordable housing was by making smaller units, while not sacrificing how the units would work. Mr. Empakeris then stated that all the bottom units of the project would meet the state's requirements for accessibility and that because there is no elevator in the building, the other units would not be adaptable to provide accessible bathrooms.

Chair Jackson asked if the building was required to have an elevator.

Mr. Empakeris stated that in accordance with the California Building Code, if a building is three-stories or less it is not required to provide an elevator; however, it is still required to provide accessible units, that was why the first floor of this proposal was designed to meet accessibility requirements. Mr. Empakeris went on to state that many cities struggle with making streets walkable and that this project took a different approach on this matter. Mr. Empakeris stated that this project took on the design practices from that of Jane Jacobs who spoke of having neighborhoods where people would walk, meet, and interact with others in the public realm.

Chair Jackson asked what the average rent would be for these units.

Mario Savvides, 11901 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angles, California 90025, stated that all the units would have the same rate. Mr. Savvides then stated that while the units were not designated as affordable units, they were designed to be available for those in the workforce. Mr. Savvides went on to explain that teachers, firefighters, police officers, and others in similar workforces would not be eligible for affordable housing due to their level of income, however, that these proposed single-room occupancy units would provide a type of affordable housing to them.

Chair Jackson stated that she was familiar with this type of housing which were similar to that of other housing units located in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles and stated she was impressed with the project.

Commissioner Henderson asked if there was sufficient amount of accessible parking to accommodate the number of potential accessible units.

Mr. Empakeris stated that the project is compliant with all requirements of the California Building Code on this matter and also addressed that the proposal included a bike room to store 20 bicycles, therefore, encouraging other forms of transportation to other residents.

2

Mr. Savvides and Mr. Empakeris addressed that car share programs are also an ideal form of transportation for the younger market, when they were trying to cater to with this design and added that more millennials are choosing not to drive.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that he felt people often have more than one car and that the project could not accommodate for that. Vice-Chair Sherman then asked if the project would only have six accessible units available.

Mr. Savvides answered "yes" but added that their team has also proposed a 64 unit single-room occupancy project in the City, that would be coming before the Planning Commission soon, and that all 64 units of that project would be able to convert to accessible units.

Chair Jackson stated that in her experience she has also noticed that mil!ennials do not prefer to drive, and further stated that she was impressed with the design of these units. Chair Jackson asked if there would be sidewalk improvements as part of this project.

Mr. Empakeris stated that they would be placing street trees which they hope would enhance the walkability to the neighborhood. Mr. Empakeris also mentioned that each unit would have nine-foot high ceilings and large windows to have the spaces feel larger.

Vice-Chair Sherman mentioned that the financial analysis for the project included two different projects and reflected an analysis based on a 79-unit project with subterranean parking. Vice-Chair Sherman stated that this analysis was flawed because it did not correctly reflect this proposal.

Mr. Savvides stated that the original design was for a total of 79-units, between both projects, with underground parking, however, the construction cost was more than expected and their team would lose millions of dollars with this design. Mr. Sawides then stated that they had to revise their plans to not include the underground parking, however, they were able to include five more units than originally proposed. Mr. Savvides stated that he could not say the financial analysis was flawed since it showed a financial benefit to the City while only accounting for 79-units when in fact the final proposal would include 84-units. Mr. Savvides also stated these projects would provide a slightly larger financial benefit to the City at the same time the City would be providing needed housing.

Mr. Barragan mentioned that as part of the applicant's other project staff could speak with the consultants to see if there would be any changes to these reports, however, staff did not believe there would be. Mr. Barragan then stated that because both projects were being proposed by the same applicants the projects were reviewed together as to achieve economies of scale.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that because these projects were brought up separately the Planning Commission was expected to approve this management plan which accounted for more units.

Mr. Savvides stated that the management plan would not change due to the number of units that it stated.

Mr. Barragan stated that a condition of approval could be added to have the management plan reflect only this project and that mention of any other project could be removed.

3

Chair Jackson agreed that the condition should be added. Chair Jackson then opened the public hearing.

Chair Jackson recognized that there were no further public comments and closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Henderson requested that this item be continued to the next meeting when all commissioners are present. Commissioner Henderson went on to say that he thought the proposal was a wonderful project but thought it would be beneficial to have the other commissioners' viewpoints brought to this discussion.

City Attorney Peter Wallin stated that under state law the only way this project could be denied by the City was if there was a specific adverse impact on the public health or safety based on objective evidence and noted that there was no objective evidence at this time. Mr. Wallin went on to say that even if all five commissioners were present they would still be in a position where there would be no basis to deny the project because under state law if the project meets all criteria of the City's General Plan and zoning code there would not be an option to deny this project and continuing this item would make no difference in the outcome.

Vice-Chair Sherman stated that continuing this item will allow the chance for all commissioners to hear the information presented to them.

Mr. Wallin stated that the entire commission would still be bound by those provisions of state law and did not see any evidence that this project would have any threat to the public health or safety.

MOTION: It was moved by Chair Jackson and seconded by Commissioner Henderson to adopt Resolution No. PC 6-18, approving Conditional Use Permit #3-17, Site Plan Review #4-18, and the project management plan subject to the Conditions of Approval and directing Staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

The motion passed by the following roll call vote:

DEFINITION & GENERAL INFORMATION

Assessment District

An Assessment District is a financing mechanism under The California Streets and Highways Code, Division 1 O and 12, which enables cities, counties, and special districts organized for the purpose of aiding in the development or improvement to, or within the district, to designate specific areas as Assessment Districts, with the approval of a majority of the landowners based on financial obligations, and allows these Districts to collect funds to finance maintenance efforts or construct improvements. Assessment Districts help each property owner pay a fair share of the costs of such improvements or maintenance obligations over a period of years at reasonable rates and insures that the cost will be spread to all properties that receive direct and special benefit by the improvements constructed or maintained. "Assessment" means any levy or charge by an agency upon real property that is based upon the special benefit conferred upon the real property by a public improvement or service that is imposed to pay the capital cost of the public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of the public improvement, or the cost of the service being provided. "Assessment" includes, but is not limited to, "Special Assessment," "Benefit Assessment," and "Maintenance Assessment."

CITY OF GARDENA

PART A

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS

The facilities, which have been constructed within the boundaries of the City of Gardena District, and those which may be subsequently constructed, will be operated, maintained and serviced as generally described as follows:

DESCRIPTION OF IMPROVEMENTS FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019


The facilities to be maintained and serviced include an annexed area called the West Gardena

area in 1995. The costs for the street lighting were paid through the County of Los Angeles by an

ad valorem tax and assessment. The lighting costs were transferred to the City of Gardena in

1997 after the removal of the County Lighting District and Assessment District. The ad valorem

tax charge of the County for lighting was also transferred to the City of Gardena to fund the

lighting costs in this area in 1997. The plans for lighting reflect the addition of the new lighting.

The plans and specifications for the improvements, showing and describing the general nature, location and the extent of the improvements, are on file in the office of Public Works, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Page 7

C /TY OF GARDENA

PARTB

ESTIMATE OF COST

The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of installation, construction, operation, maintenance and servicing of the improvements described in Part A can be recovered by the District. Maintenance can include the repair and replacement of existing facilities. Servicing can include electrical and associated costs from a public utility. Incidental expenses, including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees, printing, posting and mailing of notices, and all other costs associated with the annual assessment process can also be included.

The estimated costs of the operation, servicing and maintenance of the improvements for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, as described in Part A, are summarized herein, and described in the Proposed Budgets on the subsequent pages.

The significant increases in energy costs experienced in early 2001 are expected to continue through 2018-2019. The City had anticipated increases in energy costs for several years and had set aside reserves to pay for the increases. However, the depletion of this reserve has warranted an increase in assessments.

The City of Gardena, in 2009-2010 fiscal year increased the assessment by conducting an assessment ballot (Proposition 218) proceeding by mailed ballots for approval of the increase, in accordance with Section 53753 of the Government Code and Section 4000 of the Election's Code.

The increase in assessments in the FY2009-2010 did not allow the District to wipe out its negative reserve in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 fiscal years; however, for 2012-2013 fiscal year, with 2.09% increase, the reserve started a modest gain; and for 2018-2019 fiscal year, with projected 3.5% increase the District is also projected to build up reserves in the positive.

The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessment shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. Any balance or deficit remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.

PARTD

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT

GENERAL

Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by public agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, which include operation, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals, and landscaping.

Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This Section States:

"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."

In addition, Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property.

The Act permits the designation of benefit zones within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22574). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "benefit assessment" rather than a "special tax."

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

The total operation, maintenance, and servicing costs for the assessment district improvements are apportioned in accordance with the benefit spread described below.

General versus Special Benefit

The assessment cost for each parcel is determined by the front linear footage of the property, multiplied by the applicable rate for that parcel. If the property faces more than one street or alley, the cost is determined by the linear footage of the longest side facing a street/alley plus 1 O percent of the rest of the sides facing a street/alley, multiplied by the rate. Rate of assessment is determined by zone. The rates are determined by the quantity of street lighting in each zone, spacing frequency being most intense in commercial zone and least intense in residential zones and near public properties. This method of apportionment ensures that properties are not assessed in excess of the proportional special benefit conferred.

Page 11

PARTE

PROPERTY OWNER LIST & ASSESSMENT ROLL

The total proposed assessment for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 and the amount of proposed assessment apportioned to each lot or parcel within the District, as shown on the latest roll at the County of Los Angeles Assessor's Office, are contained in the Assessment Rolls and the description of each lot or parcel is part of the records of the Assessor of the County of Los Angeles and these records are, by reference, made part of this Report.

The included tracts of land have been subdivided into four zones, with each of subject lots benefiting from the improvements being maintained. Therefore, the costs associated with the street lighting within and directly adjacent to each tract, as shown in Part B of this report will be apportioned to pay in accordance with the property frontage within each zone.

Page 12

CITY OF GARDENA

PARTF

FINANCIAL STUDY

Staff has performed a financial study of the District for the 2018-2019 FY to ensure that the maintenance and improvement costs for the district were funded appropriately.

In FY 2009-2010, through Prop. 218, the City of Gardena approved increased assessments for the District as indicated in the summary below. Additionally, the study recommended adjustment of future annual assessments as needed, per the Consumer Price Index (CPI), All Urban Consumers, for the Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim Areas, not to exceed 50% of operating reserves. The actual assessments levied in any fiscal year will be approved by the City Council. Please see "Appendix A" for a copy of the detailed Financial Study for the District.

Since the increase in the assessments was approved, benefit areas within the District will continue to be maintained at the highest service levels. The proposed increase includes language to adjust assessments per the CPI, future votes regarding this annual increase will not be needed; however, each year staff will present the annual Engineer's Reports with the recommended assessment amount. For FY 2018-2019, an increase of 3.5% is recommended.

OPERATING EXPENDITURES

The following information describes the types of costs associated with maintaining the District, as well as information regarding the proposed rate increase. The financial study projects the expenditures and revenues through Fiscal Year 2018/2019.

CPI - Annual Increase According to Need In FY 2009-2010, the City approved a recommended scaled increase in assessments to occur over a two year period for the District. After the initial scaled increase, the assessments are increased annually per the CPI on an as needed basis ( 3.5% per year for the study). Should the district reach a reserve level not-to-exceed 50% of operating revenues, the assessment will not be increased per the CPI for the year. Each year, the City will evaluate the reserves and the expenditures, and inform the residents whether or not an increase per the CPI will be necessary for the upcoming year.

Maintenance Upgrades/Projects

The line item in the proposed budget and financial study for ''Maintenance Upgrades/Projects" includes any new projects such as new conduits, wiring, lights, or poles, etc. that can be scheduled for the upcoming year. Often, City staff receives input from residents on any projects that a district may like to see completed. The proposed budget includes an estimate for these projects, and if the amount actually spent each year is less than the estimate, the remaining balance returns to the District's reserve fund. Should the amount exceed the estimate, then the funds needed would be taken from the reserve fund.

Reserve Fund

Any remaining funds not used from the previous year are added to the District's reserve fund. The reserve fund should have sufficient funds available to lessen the fiscal impact of any unforeseen expenditures. Staff is recommending that the district maintain a healthy reserve balance of an amount not-to-exceed 50% of the total annual assessments.
