AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT WITH GALPERS TO INCLUDE SECTION 20965
CREDIT FOR UNUSED SICK LEAVE FOR THE LOCAL MISCELLANEOUS
MEMBERS AND LOCAL SAFETY MEMBERS ~ F217-2, R2M17-21, O2M17-4712
‘The City, as part of iis negotiations with the employee groups, has proposed an
amendment tothe Miscellaneous and Safety contracts with CalPERS, for the conversion
{of sick leave to service credit upon retirement. This benefit wil allow employees to take
thelr bank of sick leave and give I to CalPERS to be converted into service crecit, rather
than to cash out the allowable portion anc! lose the rest when they retire. By allowing the
‘employee to convert sick leave time into service cred, it reduces overtime costs and
loss of productivity. It is anticipated that the savings trom the overtime paid out to
employees covering for absent employees, in addition to the productivity lost during that
time, would be sufficient to cover the cost ‘of the amendment. Staff has been in contact
with’ CalPERS and has been provided with an actuarial for the amendment to the
contract. Staff recommends that the City Counell proceed with the amendment as
Presented by CalPERS.

20965 CREDIT FOR UNUSED SICK LEAVE FOR THE LOCAL
MISCELLANEOUS MEMBERS AND LOCAL SAFETY MEMBERS
RECOMMENDATION:
Staffis recommending tht the City Council
‘A. Adopt Resolution No. R2Mt7-21 A Resolution of Intention to Approve an Amendment to
‘Contract between the Board of Administration California Public Employees’ Retirement
‘System and the City Council of the City of Alhambra; and
B, Read forthe First time by tle only, Ordinance No. 02M17-4712, an Ordinance ofthe City
‘Council ofthe City of Alhambra Authorizing an Amendment to the Contract between the City
Counei of the City of Alhambra and the Board of Administration of the Calforia Public
Employees’ Retirement Systom,
BACKGROUND:
‘The City as partof its negotiations with the employee groups, has proposed an amendment tothe
'Miscolaneous and Safety contracs with CalPERS, forthe conversion of sickleave to service cred
Upon retirement, This benefit will allow employees to take their bank of sick leave an give it to
CalPERS to be converted into servic credit rather than to cash out he allowable portion and ose
the rest wen they rere. CalPERS requires that should the City eect amend the contracts to add
this benefit, that he benef must be applied to each contract as a whole, Miscellaneous and Safety,
land therefore cannot be givan to one specific group.
Historically, @ concom oxprecced by al f tho groupe, ae well ac management, isthe use of sick
time by employees prior to their atroment, rather than losing it when they leave, This creates a
financial burden on the City due to the requirement to cover the extended absence with overtime
hich could be required ofthe current staf in order o ensure the continued delivery of services. By
‘lowing the employes to convert that sick leave time ino service cred, treduces overtime costs
and loss of productivity.
‘Staff has been in contact with CalPERS and has been provided wih an actuatial forthe amendment
to the contract, altached, which outlines the cost of amendment tothe Ciy. The Actuarial report
was recalved March 10, 2017 and was shared with each employee group for their review andconsideration. The Actuarial Report expires July 1,2017. To dato the Cty has reached a tentative
‘agreement with one employee Group who has agreed to the addition of this benefi, and staf is
recommending thatthe Cty Counel praceed with the amendment as presented by CalPERS. Stall
has notified the employee groups of fs intention to procaed with the amendment outside of the
normal negotiating process,
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
“The actuarial report fr the Sick Leave Conversion benefit was provided by the CalPERS Actuary.
‘The actuarial report shows a fulure increase tothe CalPERS rate of 136% forthe Miscellaneous
Group and 159% forthe Safely Group, and an Inease inthe Citys Amortzaion Bases of $61,135,
for the Miscellaneous Group and $46,75! forthe Safety Group. Although its dificult forthe Cityto
Drecict the numberof future rticas that would be able to use this benef Its anticipated that the

productivity lost curing that time, would be sufficient to cover the cost of the amendment,

Public Hearing — Public Works Maintenance and Improvement District and
Police Faclity Assessment District 2017-2018
RECOMMENDATION:
It fs recommended that the City Counc! ater conducting @ public hearing adopt the attached
resolutions renewing the Public Works Maintenance and improvement Dstctand the Police Faciity
‘Assessment District, for the 2017-2018 fiscal year at the same rates since 1998-97 and 1991,
respectively, and direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Counci's action
BACKGROUN!
1.11986, the Cty Coune! acted to replace the Landscaping and Lighting District, which had
‘been in existence since 1982, with a benefit assessment district, called the Public Works
‘Maintenance and Improvement Distict (PWMID). The district provided the Cty with greater
flexibility to address the various City public works infrastructure deficiencies, including the
ability to sel bonds to provide funding for major capital improvements projects.
‘As presently structured, the PWMID contai
three zones: A, Band C.
Zone A includes the downtown area only and was set up to provide a source of|
{unding to operate and maintain the specialized improvements which were installed
in the downtown area atthe redevelopment agency's expense in 1982. Those
improvements include such items as the decorative sidewalk planters, the
landscape medians, decorative sidewalk and paving and the Washington Twin
streetighs.
Zone B of the PWMID was originally established to fund debt service on bond
issue, ena ongo!ng maintenance ana operation of the Cli-wide street lights,
‘sidewalks, curb and gutters, streets, sree rees, median landscaping and municipal
parking ois and structures, The aforementioned work is performed by a combination
‘ofa five person concrete crew, a two person electrical crew (which also maintains
{raft signals), a five person asphalt crew, and contractors.
‘Zone C was established in 1987 and includes generally those properties located on
both sides of Main Street, between Atantic and Palm and on both sides of Palm,
between Main and Commonwealth. ‘The purpose of Zone Cis o provide funding for
‘the ongoing maintenance and operation of the public improvements, which wereconstructed in the Auto Row area in 1988 at Redevelopment Agency expense.
‘Those Include the grass parkway, the feature lights between Atlantic and Olive and
the treet trees,
3, Therecommended FY 2017-2018 assessment lavelfora single family in Zone B is $83.17,
“which io identical to this year’s level. The aseessments for Zone A and Zone C are
recommended to remain athe current level
4, The Police Faciity Assessment District (PFAD) was ereated in 1991 bythe Cty Councl ater
{a vote in which nearly 60 percent of the voters indicated approval forthe proposal. The
‘assessment pays the debt service onthe bonds that were used to build the poe faciity. AS
With the PWHMID, the assessment lavel wil remain at the current year level, which for a
‘inglafarily home ie $58 54
5. The notice ofthe public heering pertaining to the renewal ofboth assessment districts was
published and posted in accordance with the law.
6. As required by the enabling ordinance, engineers reports were prepared regarding the
renewal of both the PWMID and PFAD. In addition, in order to comply with snother
provision of Propostion 216, reports have been certified by the City Engineer. Copies of
{hese reports are attached. Both reports, as well asthe assessment tapes must be sentto
the Los Angeles County Tax Collector.
7. Inorderto insure that adequate income is received next scal year to fully fund all expenses
associated withthe Public Werks Maintenance and Improvement Disc, and the Police
Facilities District, i ie necessary that the Cily Councl take formal action to renew the
Districts prior to July 1 of each year.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:
‘The assessments for Zones A, B and C will generate approximately $120,000, $2,000,000 and
$57,742, respectively. The Police Facility Assessment District vill generale approximately
$2,200,600.

Exhibit “B” Sample Assessments BBACKGROUND,
In the late 1980's, it was determined that the existing Alhambra Police Facility had
outlived its usefulness and a nevr facility was necessary to provide cost-effective police
service forthe foreseeable future. The existing building had no public parking and too
litle parking for the staf. The jeil could no longer accommodate the growing number of
arresiees, and the antiquated electrical and plumbing systems had crested numerous
problems including occasional power failures. The facility also lacked a shooting range,
0 stafThad fo rely on an adjoining city’s range.
On September 17, 1990, the City Council of the City of Alhambra adopted Resolution
"No. R90-S8, commencing the proceedings under Chapter 3.5 ofthe Alhambra Municipal
‘Code for the formation of a public improvements assessment district for a new police
facility. At an election on September 17, 1991, 59 percent of the voters approved the
formation of the District, Following a public hearing held on October 10, 1991, the
District was formally approved by the City Couneil and the process was started to finance
the improvements through the sale of Certificates of Participation in the amount of
$27,000,000,
‘This willbe the twenty fourth year that assessments will be levied, however, unlike the
fist five years when the assessments were increased 5 percent each yoar, the assessments
‘for 2017/2018 will be the same as those levied in the past nineteen years.
‘The assessment report contains the following:
'* A description of the nature of the improvements constructed or services to be
rendered;
‘© A deseription of the boundaries of the district,
© A.statement of the necessity for such improvements or services;
© A description of the nature of the special benefits to be derived ffom such
{improvements or services by parcels within the di
‘© The estimated cost of construction of such improvements or providing such services;
‘+ The estimated total assessment to be spread upon all of the parcels included in the
distit; Definitions;
‘© The method of assessing the parcels included in the district; and
‘© Assessment Report Summary.NATURE OF IMPROVEMENTS OR SERVICES
“The improvements constructed and services proposed under this assessment report are as
follows
‘The Alhambra Police Facility built with the proceeds of the aforementioned Certificates of
Participation is located on a 120,500 square foot ste atthe northwest comer of First Street
‘and Commonwealth Avenue in the City of Alhambra’s downtown civic center area. The
facility consists of « 60,489 square foot building, a subterranean parking garage. and an
additional paved parking area at grade level. ‘The site contains adequate parking for police
and visitor vehicles.
Aaditional site features include landseaping and irigation, exterior lighting, signage, and
appurtenances
The facility also includes interior office improvements, fumiture and office equipment,
expanded telephone and radio communications, an emergency operations center, police
information and security systems, and firing range
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
“The boundaries of Assessment District No. 91-1 coincide with the established boundaries
‘of the Cty of Alhambra as incorporated on July 11, 1903, all annexations to date, and all
future annexations to the Cty. (See Exhibit “A”)
SSITY FOR IMPROVEMENTS OR SERVICES
In order to maintain high quality police services for the etizens of Alhambra, it was
necessary to upgrade the existing facility as recommended by the independent 15 member
Citizens Police Facility Advisory Committee. The old facility had been utilized far
beyond its original design intent. The new facility located adjacent to the city hall and
the municipal court building now provides the citizens with a central location for all
police or City business and will continue 10 efficiently serve the community for many
years to come.
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM IMPROVEMENTS OR SERVICES
The special benefits derived from the new police facility include not only the existing
services provided but the ability to handle those services more efficiently and effectively
inthe future, As before, the police services include all the vehicles, equipment, personnel
and facilities necessary to provide police protection, With a new facility, those items
hhave boen upgraded and the facility itself provides a more effective police force for
4service to the public. Individuals calling for police services clearly benefit from the
facility and the related services, Those residents that never call for those services also
benefit because of the preventive measures which are so important in police seiences and
related services. Overall, the new facility helps speed up responses to calls, better
addresses the public concerns, and brings to the City a level of police protection
necessary to provide order in our society,
costs
“The cost of providing the new police facility was approximately $26.7 million. This
‘igure includes building costs, permits, engineering fees, communications equipment,
land acquisition and contingencies,

PROPOSED METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
“The Police Facility Assessment District (PFAD) was created in 1991 by the City Councit
after a vote in which nearly 60 percent of the voters indicated approval for the proposal
‘As was indicated at the time of the election, in order to provide revenues to fund the debt
service on the bonds that were sold to finance the new facility, as well as some of the
‘additional operating costs thatthe new facility had necessitated, such as additional jailers,
it was necessary that the assessment level increase by 5 percent per year, forthe first
7several years ofthe District's existence. As a result of Proposition 218, the portion of the
assessment that represented the added operating costs ofthe new building can no longer
be levied for that purpose, However, the assessment could legally be continued at the
1996.97 level, and any proceeds in excess of those needed to fund debt service on the
‘bonds can be used to retire some of the bonds early. As with the PWMID; the assessment
evel would remain atthe current year level, which for a single family home is $59.56,
‘On March 1 of each year, all properties within Assessment Distict 91-1 shall be assigned
‘one of the land use categories as flows

‘© Vacant Residential Properties shall be defined as all properties not containing any

zoning conditions and entitled to residential land use.
‘© Vacant Commercial/industral Properties not containing structures or being used for
‘storage, parking, etc. which may be developed under current zoning conditions and
entitled fo commerciaVindustrial land use. Assessable square footage is assigned
thereto,
“The proposed assessment to be placed on properties as discussed in this report is based on
the special benefit derived ftom the facilities and services provided. The benefits of
police services include all of the personnel, equipment, and especially the building that
‘supports the basic aspects of police protection. Property owners and City residents may
‘benefit in varying degrees ftom the service. Also, their need, and thus the benefits, may
‘be greater in some years than others, The fact that some residents have not required
police services reaffirms that police service does as much to prevent and deter erime as it
does to react to eriminal and civil situations.
‘The City has conducted random samples an finds that approximately 35% ofall police
calls are devoted to commercial and industrial properties. We find the records of police
calls give an equitable perspective of how the benefit should be spread,
Since a police facility, the personnel, and equipment therein all support the function of
police service calls, it Would be appropriate to assess approximately 35% of the benefit of
these services to commercial and industrial properties. The remaining 65% wold be
assessed against residential properties. Therefore, the assessment rate to provide a newpolice facility is established such that approximately 65% ofthese costs willbe funded by
residential property owners and approximately 35% of these costs will be funded by
commercial and industrial property owners.
“The special benefit of police services for each residential property is proportionate to the
number of residential units on the property. For example, a property with three
residential units would pay three times the cost as that of a property with only one
residential unit, However, industrial uses and uses such as auto, recreational vehicles and
large construction equipment dealerships require large land areas by the very nature of
their business, Those large areas do not require the same amount of police services as
‘would the more intense commercial developments. In recognition of this reduced need
and a corresponding benefit reduction, industralvehicle dealerships are assessed at
‘three-quarters the rate of commercial users. Therefore, the special benefits and the
assessment rate are based on the amount of area devoted to this use and its intensity.
[Not only are there differences between the required police services for commercial and
industrial users, but there are differences in categories of commercial users. Department
Stores, Regional Shopping Centers, and Supermarkets by their very nature attract
‘substantial numbers of people. Police calls and the need for police patrols and thus the
special henefit of police services is highest in those eategories. ‘Therefore the assessment
for those categories is twice that for other commercial users. In the same manner,
restaurants with entertainment that sll liquor inthe course of normal business and banks
require more police service than standard commercial users but not as greatly as shopping
centers, ‘Therefore, their benefit is one and one half times that of regular commercial
Multi-family units usually house fewer persons than do an equivalent number of single
family units. In recognition ofthis fact, multi-family units are assessed at 75% the rate of
single family units,
‘Vacant properties benefit from police serves to a much lesser degree because of the
lower levels of activity associated with those parcels. They are assessed at 1/10th the
level of other properties to account for that lower activity. No assessment for police
services is placed on tax exempt properties.SUMMARY.
In summary, this assessment report discusses the pertinent fies related to the need,
special benefit, and financing ofthe police facilities building adjacent to the existing City
Hal. I proposes to continue to assess those owes of property in proportion to special
benefits they receive fom police services and facilites. The quality of this service and
facilities affords them the opportunity to enjoy the quality of life and to protest thee
investment in the community. Since the facility willbe funded over a period of 30 years,
the yearly assessment wil be paid by thse residents and owners for only thse years
during wich they receive special benefit from the facili,
In conclusion, itis my opinion that the assessments for the City of Alhambra Police
Facilities Assessment District No. 91-1 are spread in direct accordance with the benefits
that the land within the district boundary receives from the works of the improvement
aciliy).

FISCAL YEAR 2017/2018
CITY OF ALHAMBRA.
BACKGROUND
‘The City established Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District Nos. and 2 in 1982 under
the authority of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, In 1983, the City combined those
distriets into one district called “Landscaping and Lighting Distrit No. 1"
‘On November 12, 1985, the City Council passed Ordinance No. 085-3997 which added Chapter
3.50 to the Alhambra Municipal Code, thus authorizing procedures “for the creation of
assessment disticts for the construction of public improvements and/or for the providing of
public services alternatives fo procedures established by State Law." On November 25, 1985,
the City Council initited the process of ereating a new assessment district that, by adopting
Resolution R8S-285, would supersede and replace the Landscaping and Lighting Distrit No. 1.
Following the receipt and review of a Feasibility Report, the City Council adopted Resolution
[No. RR6-54 on February 24, 1986, declaring its intention to supersede and replace Landscaping
and Lighting Distict No, 1 with the Public Works Maintenance and Improvements District No.
1. Following a public hearing on the creation of the assessment district, the City Couneil
‘adopted Resolution No, R86-134 on June 5, 1986, ordering the formation of the Distrit. On the
same date, the City Council subsequently approved Resolution No, R86-135 which: 1) ordered
the performance of er
services and the construction of certain improvements (as previously
detailed in Resolution No. R86-134); 2) confirmed the assessment diagram and assessment rol
as submitted; and 3) levied
ending on June 30,1987.
assessment for the fiscal year commencing on July 1, 1986, and
(On July 28, 1986, che City Council ofthe City of Alhambra, by approval of Resolution No. R86-
181, awarded to the lowest bidder the sale of $9,930,000 in improvement bonds designated,
"CITY OF ALHAMBRA, IMPROVEMENT BONDS, PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE
3AND IMPROVEMENTS ASSESSMENT DISTRICT'NO. 1, SERVICES 1986", and authorized
such actions necessary to complete the issuance, sale, and delivery of such bonds.
(On June 22, 1987, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 87-63 which modified the District
and provided additional maintenance along Auto Row Alhambra, This resulted in the creation of|
an additional benefit zone, thus capturing the costs of the addtional maintenance and assessing it
‘back to the benefiting parcels annually
‘On Iune 22, 1992, the City Council adopted Resolution No. R92-29 which further modified the
Distict by adding street swoeping, wood and graffiti abatement, and stote mandated refuse
reduction measures (reeycling) required by AB 939, to the list of maintenance and operation
activities fnded by the District. ‘The Zone B assessment level was increased to fully fund those
Since the sale of the improvement bonds in 1986, the City has used the proceeds to find
approximately $2,000,000 in concrete repairs, and $7,000,000 in street lighting improvements
‘The street lighting improvements resulted in the upgrading of nine substandard city owned street
lighting systems containing series circuits and incandescent lamps, to multiple circuits with high
pressure sodium lamps. In addition, two systems owned by the Southern California Edison
Company were replaced with modern city owned systems, ‘The result of those improvements
‘was a fivefold increase in steot lighting level, and a reduction in annual energy charges of more
than 25 percent, in 1994 dollars. However, the completion of the two Faison area projects
effectively depleted the 1986 Bond proceeds set uside for the street lighting improvement
program.In order to maximize the benefits of the street lighting improvement program, it became
necessary that reassessments be made and refunding bonds be sold so that the thre remaining
areas ofthe City served by Southern California Edison owned stret lighting systems could have
‘those systems replaced by modem city-owned systems. This work was accomplished for
approximately $1,850,000.
[Now that those three remaining areas have been improved, the City has assumed maintenance
responsibility for nearly all street lighting systems in the City, with no
erease in the manning
level ofthe existing street light maintenance crew.
In recognition of the need to refund the initial bond issue, the City Couneil, on February 28,
1994, approved Resolution No. 94-12 wiih authorized the making of reassessments and the
refunding of the 1986 Bond issue. By taking advantage of the lowest interest rates in decades
Which existed in early 1994, and increasing the term of the refunding bonds to 25 years as
‘opposed to 15 years for the 1986 Bonds, the City was able to accomplish the following: (a)
‘maintain the total annual assessments for improvements and services at the levels originally
projected, and (b) provide bond proceeds to complete the street lighting improvement program
tnd since assessment revenue needed for debt service will be reduced, the excess assessment
revenue above that needed for ongoing operational costs and debt service was used to repay a
Joan from the City totaling approximately $1,185,160 which was advanced during the intial
years following the District's formation. The City loan was fully repaid in 2003,
‘This Feasibility and District Report contains information in connection with the 2017-2018 levy
of the annual installment of the reassessments and of the service assessments (collectively, the
2017-2018 Levy). ‘The proposed reassessments were imposed beginning with the 1994-95 fiscal
‘year and will be levied on an annual basis until 2019. The service assessments are imposed and
Ievied on an annual basis until the services are no longer needed.
‘The method of reassessment for improvements and assessment for services uses the same
‘formula that has been used fo spread the original assessments. See Exhibit B.
5‘The reassessment and assessment levels are proposed to remain at the same level as for the
previous year, and the services proposed to be funded by the assessments will be conducted
in the "stret" (including alleys and municipal parking lots) and sidewalk vights-of-way. As
such, we believe thatthe assessment district will be in full com

lighting and seasonal enhancements in the "Downtown Alhambra Revitalization - Main Street
‘the enhanced ambiance which atracts additional patrons to the area. The method of
allocating the costs associated with the Zone "A" serviees is by parcel square footage, Each
parcel is assessed its proportionate share of the costs based on its square footage. Since all ofthe

single-family homes or condominiums andthe remainder are multiple family dwellings, A value
cof one unit has been assigned to the single family home, condominium, or vacant residential
parcel (Group 1). The basic unit consists of a value of 4 for People Use, % for Security Benefit,
and % for Intensity. Parcels in other land use categories were then rated by comparison with the
basic unt
For multiple family dwellings (Group 2), the value for Intensity remains at Yé but the other two
items are increased in proportion to the number of family dwelling units on the parcel. For
example, a duplex is assessed % for Intensity, 1 for People Use and ' for Security Benefit, for a
total of 1% units, The owner of such property would be assessed 1% times the owner of a
single family residence. In consideration of the distance some units would be ftom the lighted
roadway, Security Benefits in the residential category are not increased beyond a value of 1
‘Thus, a S-unit apartment is assessed % for Intensity, 2 % for People Use, and 1 for Security
Benefits, or a total of 3% units. As the number of apartments on a parcel increases, the service
charge units assigned for People Use follow a declining scale as follows:Group 2.1 - 21 dough $0 Apartments
Units for 20 apartments plus 1/3 unit foreach apartment over 20, (20 apartments
People Use, | for Security Benefitand % for Intensity = 11% Units)
Example: $0 Apartments: (50-20) divided by 3 = 10;
114+ 10= 21 4 Units
Group 22-1 theough 100 Apartments
Units for 50 apartments plus unit foreach apartment over 50.
Example: 100 Apartments: (100-50) divided by 4 = 12%
21 %HID% = 33% Units
Group 2.3 - Over 100 Apartments
‘Units over 100 apartments plus 1/5 unit for each apartment over 100
Example: 200 Apartments: (200-100) divided by 5 =20
33% + 20=53% Unit
‘The Assessor's tax rolls do not indicate the number of units per multiple family residence in
excess of five, Consequently, records of the City of Alhambra were used to determine the
‘number of units in excess of five units per parcel
‘The remaining 14 percent of the lots or parcels, most of which were commercial or industrial in
nature, were separated into 11 land use categories (Assessor's codes are shown in parentheses)
‘and units assigned on the basis of average benefits received. Pease note that units assigned to
Groups 10-12 were doubled due to the larger sizeof these establishments and, therefore, greater
benefit from street lighting.

‘As with the lighting assessment, the assessment units for landscaping and stret services were
determined on the basis of dites, special benefit received for the occupants of each type of land

For multiple family dwellings, a value of one-half unit was assigned for each unit up to 20. For
those complexes with 20-50 units, the first 20 units were assigned a value of one-half nit, and
the second 30 were assigned a value of one-third unit for both the landscaping and street
2assessments. Fr complexes of 50-100 units, each unit over $0 was assigned a value of one
quarter unt, For complexes over 100 units, each unit over 100 was assigned a value of onecfifth

For non-tesidental land uses, the numberof landscape and steet units was assigned based on the
average for cach particular category. The following table lists the number of units assigned for

‘As with the lighting assessment, those larger parcels tat fall nto Group 13 were assessed on the

‘The methodology used to determine the landscape and street assessment is felt to be consistent
with the provisions of Proposition 218.
Using the aforementioned procedures, the sum of the total number of units applicable to all of|
the eligible parcels in Zone B of Alhambra was determined (Total Units). The estimated cost of
carrying out all ofthe maintenance and operation activities within Zone B was determined (see
[Exhibit D) and eredits from the existing ad valorem based lighting district were subtracted fiom
that cost to determine the net amount to be raised by assessment (Net Assessment). The cost to
‘be assessed per unit (Unit Cost i the Net Assessment divided by the Total Units; the cost to be
assessed to cach eligible pareel in the City is determined by multiplying the number of units
assigned to that parcel by the Unit Cost
Zone C - The direct, special benefit of additional landscaping and omamental street lighting
slong the "Aulo Row Alhambra - Main Street Arca” is the enhanced ambiance which attracts
‘addtional patrons to the area, ‘The method of allocating the costs associated with the Zone C
service is by parcel square footage. Each commercial parcel located in Zone C is assessed their
proportionate share ofthe costs based on their square footage as a proportion of the total square
footage of all parcels subject to assessment within Zone C. This methodology is felt to be
‘consistent with the provisions of Proposition 218.

THE AREA OF THE LAND DESIGNATED SPECIFIC PLAN-SRC(B) DISTRICT
FROM 1.76 ACRES TO 2.0 ACRES FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 1428
‘SOUTH MARENGO AVENUE IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA
BACKGROUND AND FACTS:
This is an application for a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment and Zone Change to
modify the General Plan land use designation of a portion of an existing property from High Density
Residential to Valley Boulevard Speci Plan with @ related Zone Change from R-3 (High Densiy
Residential) to Valley Boulevard Specific Plan for a proposed 128 unit 3-story townhome condominium
complex, a 2story 14,600 square foot commons building addition to an existing 36,000 square foot
‘skilled nursing facity, a 1-story 12,490 square foot retall bulking and a 2-story 18,000 square foot
mecical ofce building on a combined ste area of 11.6 acres which will be dvided into 4 lots. The
project ste is 11.6 acres and is currently looated within the R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) and Valley
Boulevard Specific Plan zones. A Nitigated Negative Declaration has previously been prepared and will
also be considered as part ofthe Public Hearing
(On April 17, 2017, The Planning Commission approved:
Resolution 17-11 approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map TT 77413, Residential Planned Development
Permit RP-16-16, Commercial Planned Development Permit CP-16-18, and Conditional Use Permit CU-
4615 to build a. 126 unt condominium complex. @ 14,600 square foot dining and assembly building
which would serve an existing sklled nursing facity and two commercial bulcings with atolal combined
trea of 30,490 square feel on an approximate land area of 11.6 actes located in the VSP (Valley
Boulevard Corridor Specie Plan) zone and the R-S (Multiple Family Residential) zone.
[At that meeting the Planning Commission also approved Resolution 17-10 recommending that the City
‘Council of tne City of Alnambra approve the Mitgation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Miigated
Negative Declaration, General Plan Amendment GPA-16-1, Specific Plan Amendment SPA-16-1, Zone
Change 2-16-1 adjusting the line between the Mul-Famiy (R-3) zone district and the Valley Boulevard
Sontdor Spout Pla SubrRoyional Cusiivercial (D} Dietrick (Gpectie Mlan-ERC(B)) on the oubject
parcel, nereaaing the area ofthe land designated Specific Pian-SRC(B) District from 1.76 acres to 2.0
Bcres for the properties located at 1428 South Marengo Avenue inthe City of Alhambra.
‘The commercial element of the proposal requires a General Plan Amendment (GPA), Specific Plan
‘Amendment (SPA) and Zone Change. The northernmost 1.74 acres of the site is located within the
\Valley Boulevard Corridor Specific Pian, Sub-Regional Commercial (8) District (Specific Plan-SRC (B))
and carries the same designation on the General Plan Land Use Map. The Specific Plan SRC (B)
District requires a minimum fot area of two acres for new development. This restriction is intended to
encourage the consolidation of parcels and prevent disjointed development along Valley Boulevard, The
2existing area of the commercial portion of the site is 1.76 acres and therefore not eligible for
redevelopment. To comply with tis requirement, the applicant is propesing to adjust the Zoning, General
Plan and Specific Plan boundary lines, adding an adaltional 0.26 acres along Marengo Avenue to the
portion of the site covered by the Specific Pian. This change would accommodate the applicant's
proposed replacement ofa litle used, existing surface parking lot with a new, twosstory, medical office
building and one-story commercial with a combined area 30,490 square feet (SF). The proposed retall
land medical office development would provide employment opportunites as well shopping and services
that would serve nearby residents and revitalize this porion of Valley Boulevard. Figure 1, on the
following page, shows the current zoning boundary lines and the proposed boundary lines.
Althe Apil 17, 2017 Planning Commission Public Hearing, concems were raised about the preservation
land poeeible relocation of tree specimens on the propery. In response ta thes cancers, Planning
Condition PLSS was added at the Nearing and read into the record. ‘The condition requires the applicant
to submit a Tree Survey Report prior to the City Council Hearing. The Report was received on May 8,
2017 and shall be used by staf to develop recommendations forthe project's landscape-pian submittal
Staff's recommendations shall be incorporated into the landscape plans prior to the issuance of bulding
permits
Figure 1 ~ Current & Proposed Zones
PROPOSED TONEGUNGETETNEAL PUN NeoNoise - The intial Study identified potential significant noise impact fo nearby residences east and west
ofthe elle, and required thal acoustic blankets be instaled at a height of six feet along Marengo Avenue
‘nd at a height of eight feet along the northern portion of Benito Avenue, ending at a point across from
the southemmost residences. The Iniial Study did not identify impacts or require mitigation for the
school due tothe distance ofthe classrooms from the site, Nevertheless, the applicant has committed to
extending the acoustic blanket south along Benita Avenue, to the comer of Glendon Way which provides
’ continuous acoustic barrier between the construction site and the school
Furthermore, the applicant explained thatthe existing one story buldings that make up the now vacant
senior apartment development have been constructed of materials that are valuable as recycled lumber
tnd that tno buidinge are conetructed with perimeter foundations rather than slab foundations. As stich,
removal ofthese buldings wil be accomplished with much more hand labor and lighter equipment than
would be used for mass demolition, and this would significantly lit the noise during site clearance.
‘Alc Quality - Parents also expressed conoem about air qualty Issues that may impact students and
facuty at the school, The Inilal Sludy identified potential impacts related to emissions from large
eearthmoving equipment and from finish coatings used during final construction. Measures intended to
address these concerns include requirements that earthmoving equipment be compliant wth applicable
California Air Resources Board standards and that only Low Volatile Organic Compound pains,
‘compliant with standards of the South Coast Ar Qualty Management District be used.
‘The intial Study also identiied ai-bome particulate matter generated during construction as a significant
Impact. Mitigation measures to address this include stopping clearing, grading and earth moving
activites when wind exceeds 25 mpi, watering disturbed areas three time daily and atthe end of each
day and limiting vehicle speed on site to 15 mph,
‘These mitgation measures would reduce impacts to a less than significant level based on thresholds
established by the South Coast Air Qualty Management District Although no adkltional mitigation
measures are required, the developer has offered to take adcitional steps to futher minimize impacts to
the school. The extension of the eight-foot tll acoustic blanket fo the soulhwest corner ofthe site will
Create a physical baer between the school and the construction site that would further minimize
particulate intrusion into the school site. The applicant has also offered, to the extent feasible, to do
‘grading and site preparation work during summer months when the school is on break. Also, to the
‘extent feasibie, the applicant would remove the perimeter structures last, and construct permeter
Structures first, thereby using existing and future perimeter buldings as a barter from the school
Circulation - The Initial Study has net Mentified any significant impacts related to traffic and crcuation
affecting ether student commuting or general traffic in the immediate ares; however, parents of students
have expressed concer about congestion on streets adjacent to the school and student safely as they
‘ross streete and load and unload from cars on adjacent streets. Marguerita Elementary School has no
on-site student picicup or drop-off area; however, there is one formal drop-off area along West Glendon
Way, which has identification signs and Is seoarated from travel janes usina cones during the moming
drop-off Because there are no on-site érop-of of pick-up faciities, and only limited, formal on-street
facies, student drop-off and pick-up aceure on all three frontages of the school, with chien crossing
‘mid-block to get to and from carpool veces,
To avoid compounding exiting, school related circulation issues, the applicant is proposing thal
construction trafic enter the site off South Marengo Avenue at the northern portion of the sit, isolating
Construction traffic from the strsets adjacent tothe school, Furthermore, the applicant is proposing an
‘cvess gate at the south-east driveway which would prevent project related traffic from impacting the
‘student pick-up and drop-off activity along Bento and Glendon Way. Staff has included a Condition of
4‘Approval P23 requling installation of a gate atthe south-east entrance to the residential portion of the
project, that wil restrict both ingress and egress to and from the project one hour before and one hour
Batter the baginning and end of the school day. Scheduling shall be peridically adjusted to compensate
for changes in school class scheduling and vacations.
In addition o these speciic steps related to noise, ar quality and traf, the applicant has otfered to meet
with parents and echool representatives on a regular basis during construction to work cooperatively to
address unanticipated issues.
Zoning and General Plan Consistency
The Project fs consistent will all development standards and General Pan designations within the
proposed Zoning and the proposed General Plan Amendment

{An Inbal Study and Mitgated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for this project have been prepared in
Compliance with CEQA.” The ISIMIND identited that tha project impacts wil be reduced to below
‘ianficant levels through the implementation of mitigation measures. In adaition tothe issues discussed
