Item 1 Page 1 of 1 2 6 3 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works Department:Public Works Submitted by:Daniel S. Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works Subject Amendments to the Municipal Code and General Plan to allow Mixed Use Recommendation A. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review because it is general policy and procedure-making activity that is unrelated to any specific project, which must undergo separate CEQA review, and that will not result in direct physical changes or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines (California. Code Regulations., Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), the City of Vernon prepared the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the Westside Amendments to the General Plan and for the Westside Amendments to Title 17 of the Vernon Municipal Code. B. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-16 adopting Westside Amendments to the City of Vernon General Plan and certifying the Final Program Environmental Impact Report State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2022040458; C. Introduce and conduct first reading of Ordinance No. 1293 adding and amending various chapters in Title 17 – Zoning of the Vernon Municipal Code to allow Mixed Use Industrial Zoning along Santa Fe Avenue; and D. Direct staff to schedule second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 1293 for the August 1, 2023 Regular City Council meeting. Background At its October 6, 2020 meeting, the Vernon City Council approved an agreement with The Arroyo Group (TAG) to prepare the Westside Mixed-Use Specific Plan and Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). The intent was to allow and encourage a concentrated area within the Westside of Vernon (Westside) to transition into an active place of mixed uses (residential, live/work, production retail, and restaurant/entertainment) while strengthening the majority of the Westside as a highly competitive area of clean industrial production. During the past two and a half years, TAG performed baseline studies, drafted an update to the Housing Element, analyzed transportation enhancements, conducted one-on-one interviews with key stakeholders, identified and studied catalytic site development, conducted a PEIR Scoping meeting and held seven Stakeholder Committee Meetings. On November 11, 2022, the Stakeholder Committee expressed support for changing the City’s zoning code to allow for mixed-use development in select areas concentrated along Santa Fe Avenue and Pacific Boulevard; however, the Committee was not in support of adopting a Specific Plan. Staff has utilized the feedback gathered from its community outreach to draft amendments to Title 17 of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) that are aligned with the City’s Housing Element Update and that incorporate mixed uses in select areas of the City. Resolution No. 2023-16 amends the introduction to the General Plan and the Land Use Element of the General Plan to provide consistency with the proposed changes to the City’s zoning code, while Ordinance No. .. .. Item 2 Page 1 of 399 2 6 3 1293 makes those proposed changes to Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the VMC creating four zoning districts (shown on the attached Zoning Map), allowing for mixed-use development as well as providing design standards and guidelines for mixed-use development. The majority of the properties in the districts being rezoned are small lots with older obsolete buildings. The lot size makes many of these properties unsuitable for modern industrial development. The proposed changes to the code will provide property owners with flexibility in redeveloping their property by providing new uses, shown in the following tables, that are in addition to the industrial uses currently allowed. Residential and Office Uses Zoning District Land Use MU-CC MU-S MU-N MU-PH Primarily Residential Uses Single-Family Dwelling By Right Prohibited Prohibited Prohibited Multi-Family Dwelling By Right By Right By Right Prohibited Hotel Encouraged Encouraged Prohibited Prohibited Live/Work By Right By Right By Right Prohibited Residential Care Facilities By Right By Right By Right Prohibited Trailer Park Prohibited Prohibited Prohibited Prohibited Emergency Shelter Prohibited Prohibited By Right By Right Primarily Office Uses Office Manufacturing By Right Encouraged Encouraged Encouraged Media Production Studios By Right By Right By Right Encouraged Offices By Right By Right By Right By Right .. ..

Other changes to Title 17 include creating design standards for new non-industrial and non-warehouse developments in the four mixed-use zones. These design standards include open space requirements, first floor minimum transparency requirements for projects fronting Santa Fe Avenue, and height limitations. These development standards are being suggested to preserve the heritage industrial appearance of many older buildings that exist within these districts. In addition, reuse and new use projects will be incentivized through the Zoning Code with reduced parking requirements, increased allowable densities and increased allowable heights, to preserve important architectural elements of these older buildings or that include encouraged uses. While the proposed changes to Title 17 and the General Plan are not in and of themselves a project under CEQA (as they are only administrative actions), a PEIR was completed to provide the City Council with information on the potential impacts of projects that are thought to arise from the proposed zoning changes. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines, the City of Vernon has taken steps to maximize opportunities for the public to participate in the environmental process. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was circulated on April 20, 2022 via mail to interested parties and surrounding cities and via the City’s social media platforms, as well as being posted to the City’s website and to www.ReimagineVernon.com, to solicit comments and inform the public of the proposed changes. The proposed changes were described, potential environmental effects .. .. Item 2 Page 3 of 399 2 6 3 associated with implementation were identified, and agencies and the public were invited to review and comment on the NOP. The NOP review and comment period closed on May 20, 2022. At the time of preparation of this PEIR, the City received one written comment regarding the scope and content of the PEIR from the California Department of Transportation. The draft PEIR was made available for Public Review and comment from April 14, 2023, through May 14, 2023. A community meeting on the Draft EIR was held on Thursday, April 27, 2023. A notice of the availability of the draft PEIR was sent to interested parties and surrounding cities via mail and posted on the City’s social media platforms, as well as being posted on the City‘s website and www.ReimagineVernon.com. The only potentially significant unavoidable environmental impacts identified in the PEIR are those that may occur during any construction project such as noise, vibration, dust, etc. All other impacts are either less than significant or will be made less than significant through the implementation of mitigation measures described in the PEIR. This nearly three-year-long effort has involved significant public participation through several avenues including the Stakeholder Advisory Committee composed of a diverse group of residents, business owners, property owners and other interested parties, including several members of the Vernon Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. The Stakeholder Advisory Committee conducted multiple meetings during the development of the Westside project, a process that saw a conceptual vision evolve into a formal General Plan and Land Use Element, and identification of suitable areas in the City for mixed-use projects. The minutes from these meetings and all other related documents have been published on the Westside dedicated website, www.ReimagineVernon.com, as they have become available. The Westside website provides an option to subscribe to email updates on the project’s process and sends invitations that announce participation opportunities. Links to this website are published on the City of Vernon website. In addition to more formal methods of communication at City Council and City Commission meetings, staff routinely shared information about the Westside project with businesses, property owners, and developers that were engaged through the course of regular business. These proposed amendments to the Municipal Code and the General Plan were presented to the Vernon Housing Commission (VHC) at its special meeting held on July 12, 2023. The VHC recommended that the Council adopt the amendments allowing Mixed Use Industrial Zoning in the four districts. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

Item 2 Page 17 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 1 INTRODUCTION VERNON – FOUNDING OF THE CITY AND ESTABLISHING ITS MISSION The City of Vernon was founded in 1905 as an industrial city, and it remains so today. This General Plan reflects the long history and continues the City’s mission of maintaining Vernon as an ideal location for industry in Southern California. At the turn of the twentieth century, the lands now comprising Vernon were largely farmland. However, the location south of downtown Los Angeles and the presence of major rail lines led influential businessmen and property owners to encourage railroad companies to run spur lines into the adjacent farmlands. These rail extensions enabled the creation of an “exclusively industrial” city. James J. and Thomas Furlong and John B. Leonis led the city formation effort, and Vernon incorporated in 1905. .. .. Item 2 Page 18 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 2 Vernon farmland along the Los Angeles River, 1926 Although the presence of the rail lines facilitated industrial development, the process was slow. A few new industrial businesses located in Vernon during the colorful period between incorporation and Prohibition Period of the 1920s. Other businesses located in the City during this period, such as Doyle’s bar, which employed 37 bartenders and hosted an arena where 20 world championship boxing matches were held. Vernon also had a ballpark for the Vernon Tigers, which won Pacific Coast League championships on multiple occasions . By the 1920s, Vernon was attracting large stockyards and meatpacking facilities, including slaughtering operations. While the stockyards were replaced with other industrial uses, While the stockyards have vanished, meat processing remains a signature business in the City. The Farmer John’s facility, with its iconic pig mural, processes pork products, including the famous Dodger Dogs enjoyed by baseball fans.meat processing remained a signature business of the City for one hundred years. Refrigerated food storage began as an outgrowth of the early meat packing and processing activities and is nowremains a significant activity todayas well. .. .. Item 2 Page 19 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 3 To provide for the service requirements of these activities, including the electrical demands of the cold storage and refrigerated facilities, in the early 1930s the City began building municipal water supply and distribution facilities, as well as its own electrical power plant, which remains in operation. The capability of the City to provide these two critical services at a relatively low cost continues to be a competitive advantage for Vernon in attracting industry. During the 1920s and ‘30s, Vernon became the location of choice for many heavy industrial plants, including steel, aluminum, paper, and glass producers. Automobile assembly, canning, and other manufacturing operations also were established in the City in this period. As economic conditions have changed over the decades, however, many of these large- scale industrial operations have relocated out of Southern California or even out of the country. Los Angeles Union Stock Yards in Vernon, 1937 .. .. Item 2 Page 20 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 4 Vernon Potteries, 1931 While tThe focus of businesses has shifted to smaller, more specialized manufacturing, processing, and storage operations,. tThe City’s business-friendly environment, competitive-cost utilities, (largely due to the recent completion of the Malburg Generating Station), and key location for trucking and rail transport continue to position Vernon as an ideal location for industrial uses. Nevertheless, the opening decades of the twentieth century have brought challenges to Vernon. A large proliferation of warehousing facilities dedicated to the distribution of goods has decreased employment in the City, increased demands on roadways, and decreased power use, prompting a variety of policy responses. In 2010, the City was threatened with disincorporation by the State as a result of illegal activities undertaken by City leaders, and the lack of a large enough population to support a broad electorate and candidate pool for public offices. VISION FOR THE FUTURE As Vernon enters looks forward in the twenty-first century, its mission to provide an ideal environment for industry within the Los Angeles area and character remains unchanged. For the foreseeable future, Vernon will continue to be an almost totally industrial city., with limited retail commercial and food service operations to support the large day-time business population, Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.06" Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.06", Right: 0.77" Formatted: Right: 0.75" .. ..

City policy, land use restrictions, and limited land availability will allow Vernon to continue its mission to attract new, highly specialized industrial businesses. However, small portions of the City will be opened up for mixed uses, creating locations for newer, more talent-focused industries, for commercial services for the community, and for new As noted in the City’s 1992 General Plan, national economic and environmental regulations have resulted in the shift of many types of industrial operations to other areas of the world.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN DEVELOPING THE GENERAL PLAN As part of the General Plan program, the City undertook a public outreach program to identify issues and establish a new General Plan policy foundation. The outreach program included a City mailer, scoping meeting, and public hearings. The City distributed a mailer to property and business owners in Vernon regarding the General Plan. The mailer asked the Vernon business community to identify issues that can be addressed by the General Plan. Comments returned too the City were recognized in developing the General Plan. Those attending the scoping session (held in accord with the requirements of CEQA) were also given the opportunity to comment on the Public Review Daft of the Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Prior to adoption of the General Plan, the Draft General Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report were circulated for public review and comment. Public hearings were conducted before the Vernon City Council. RELATIONSHIP OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN TO STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANS This General Plan contains six elements, as well as a comprehensive Implementation Plan. These elements relate to the seven elements mandated by State law as follows: Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.88", Right: 2.49", Tab stops: 5.06", Left .. .. Item 2 Page 26 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 10 Table I-1 Relationship of Vernon General Plan to Mandated State Elements Vernon General Plan Elements State Required Elements Land Use Land Use Circulation and Infrastructure Circulation Safety Public Safety Noise Noise Natural Resources Open Space Conservation Housing Housing RELATED PLANS AND PROGRAMS State law places the General Plan atop the hierarchy of land use planning regulations, although, as a Chartera Charter City, Vernon’s Zoning Ordinance is its governing law as to land use. The General Plan provides guidance to the City Council in enacting ordinances relating to zoning, land use, public improvements, and development programs. Also, regional governmental agencies, such as the Southern California Association of Governments and the South Coast Air Quality Management District, have been established in recognition of the fact that planning issues extend beyond the boundaries of individual cities. Efforts to address regional planning issues such as air quality, transportation, and housing needs have resulted in the adoption of regional plans. The policies Vernon adopts are affected by these plans. The following paragraphs describe ordinances, plans, and programs which should be considered in association with the General Plan in development and planning decisions. Federal Plans and Programs National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System As part of a multi-pronged effort to improve the quality of water resources nationwide, the federal government authorized the State Regional Water Quality Control Board and its regional offices such as the Los Angeles Regional .. .. Item 2 Page 27 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 11 Water Quality Control Board to set up programs to implement National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) goals. Under the NPDES Stormwater Permit issued to the County of Los Angeles and Vernon as a co-permittee, most new development projects in the City are required to incorporate measures to minimize pollutant levels in stormwater runoff. Compliance is required at the time that construction permits are issued, as well as over the long term through periodic inspections. National Flood Insurance Program The Federal Emergency Management Agency administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP provides federal flood insurance subsidies and federally financed loans for eligible property owners in flood-prone areas. Vernon has no mapped flood hazard areas. Clean Water Act Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 and the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1977 to provide for the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s lakes, streams, and coastal waters. Primary authority for the implementation and enforcement of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1251) now rests with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition to the measures authorized before 1972, the CWA implements a variety of programs, including: federal effluent limitations and state water quality standards; permits for the discharge of pollutants and dredged and fill materials into navigable waters; and enforcement mechanisms. Section 404 of the CWA is the principal federal program that regulates activities affecting the integrity of wetlands. California State Plans and Programs California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was adopted by the state legislature in 1970 in response to a public mandate for thorough environmental analysis of projects impacting the environment. The provisions of the law and environmental review procedure are described in the CEQA Law and Guidelines. CEQA is the instrument for ensuring that environmental impacts of local development projects are .. .. Item 2 Page 28 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 12 appropriately assessed and mitigated, and if not fully mitigated, ensuring that project benefits to the community are substantial. The Department of Community Services reviews projects for conformance with CEQA. California Noise Insulation Standards (Title 24) In 1974, the California Commission on Housing and Community Development adopted noise insulation standards for residential buildings (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations). Title 24 establishes standards for interior room noise (attributable to outside noise sources). The regulations also specify that acoustical studies must be prepared whenever a residential building or structure is proposed to be located near an existing or adopted freeway route, expressway, parkway, major street, thoroughfare, rail line, rapid transit line, or industrial noise source, and where such noise source or sources create an exterior CNEL (or Ldn) of 60 dB or greater. Such acoustical analysis must demonstrate that the residence has been designed to limit intruding noise to an interior CNEL (or Ldn) of at least 45 dB. The Department of Community Services enforces Title 24. Seismic Hazards Mapping Act California’s 1990 Seismic Hazards Mapping Act requires the State Geologist to compile maps identifying and describing seismic hazard zones throughout California. Guidelines prepared by the State Mining and Geology Board identify the responsibilities of state and local agencies in the review of development within seismic hazard zones. Development on a site that has been designated as a seismic hazard zone requires a geotechnical report, and local agency consideration of the policies and criteria established by the Mining and Geology Board. Over the years, the program has expanded to include mapping of seismic-related hazards such as liquefaction- and landslide-prone areas. The Safety Element discusses seismic hazards associated with faults and those identified on state seismic hazard maps. Vernon contains only liquefaction-prone areas. The Safety Element contains a map identifying these areas. AB 32 Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act (passed in 2006), sets the target of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases statewide to 1990 levels by 2020. The bill assigned the task of coming up with a scoping plan for this reduction to the .. .. Item 2 Page 29 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 13 California Air Resources Board (CARB). This plan, which CARB’s board approved in December 2008, has a range of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction actions which include direct regulations, alternative compliance mechanisms, monetary and non-monetary incentives, voluntary actions, market-based mechanisms such as a cap-and-trade system, and an AB 32 cost of implementation fee regulation to fund the program. SB 375 Senate Bill 375 (2008) takes aim at reducing the single largest source of greenhouse gases in California—emissions from passenger vehicles—by working to reduce vehicle miles traveled. The law prompts California regions to work together to lower these emissions, and requires the integration of planning processes for transportation, land use, and housing. SB 375 requires CARB to develop regional reduction targets for automobiles and light trucks GHG emissions. The regions, in turn, are tasked with creating “sustainable communities strategies,” which combine transportation and land use elements to achieve the emissions reduction target, if feasible. Vernon is cooperating with these efforts. The Gateway Cities Council of Governments, comprised of 26 local cities including Vernon, completed a Subregional Sustainable Communities Strategy, which is a part of the SCAG Sustainable Communities Strategy. Vernon is also part of the larger Southern California Association of Governments, or SCAG, and as such participates in the development and implementation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the SCAG region. Regional and County Level Plans and Programs SCAG Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide The Southern California Association of Governments undertakes regional planning for the six-county SCAG region of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial, and Ventura counties. SCAG’s efforts focus on developing regional strategies to minimize traffic congestion, protect environmental quality, and provide adequate housing. The Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide sets forth broad goals intended to be implemented by participating local and regional jurisdictions and the South Coast Air Quality Management District. SCAG has adopted companion documents to the Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide, most notably the Regional Transportation Plan (see below). .. .. Item 2 Page 30 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 14 Congestion Management Plan The Congestion Management Plan (CMP) is a programa program adopted by the state legislature and approved by the voters in 1990 through Proposition 111. As a new approach to addressing congestion concerns, the CMP was created for the following purposes:  To link land use, transportation, and air quality decisions  To develop a partnership among transportation decision-makers onmakers on devising appropriate transportation solutions that include all modes of travel  To propose transportation projects which are eligible to compete for state gas tax funds The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) is responsible for preparing the County’s CMP. Metro is required by state law to monitor local implementation of all CMP elements. Local jurisdictions are required to monitor arterial congestion levels, monitor transit services along certain corridors, and implement an adopted trip reduction ordinance and land use analysis program. Regional Transportation Plan The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a component of the Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide prepared by SCAG to address regional issues, goals, objectives, and policies for the Southern California region into the early part of the 21st century. The RTP, which SCAG periodically updates to address changing conditions in the Southland, has been developed with active participation from local agencies throughout the region, elected officials, the business community, community groups, private institutions, and private citizens. The RTP sets broad goals for the region, and provides strategies to reduce problems related to congestion and mobility. In recognition of the close relationship between the traffic and air quality issues, the assumptions, goals, and programs contained in the Plan parallel those used to prepare the Air Quality Management Plan. .. .. Item 2 Page 31 of 399 Vernon General Plan Introduction Introduction - 15 Air Quality Management Plan The federal Clean Air Act requires preparation of plans to improve air quality in any region designated as aas a nonattainment area. The Air Quality Management Plan, or AQMP, prepared by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, first adopted in 1994 and updated on a three -year cycle, contains policies and measures designed to achieve federal and state air quality standards within the South Coast Air Basin. The assumptions and programs in the AQMP draw directly from regional goals, objectives, and assumptions in SCAG’s Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide. City Level Plans and Programs Vernon Zoning Ordinance In recognition of the City’s industrial nature, the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes one Zone (the Industrial Zone) throughout for the vast majority of the City, and provides for several Overlay Zones within the Industrial Zone, and establishes a mixed-use zones to govern the Mixed-Use land use designation.. The Zoning Ordinance is composed of a Zoning Map and Zoning Code which establishes land use regulations for the City Industrial Zone, Mixed-Use zones and each Overlay Zone with respect to permitted uses, allowable intensity, and development standards. The Zoning Ordinance explains the purposes of the Industrial Zone and each Overlay Zone, specifies permitted uses and conditional uses, and establishes development standards, and includes a map describing the location of each Overlay Zone. The Zoning Ordinance is the governing land use law for the City, and to the degree practical, implements the goals, policies, and development expectations established in Vernon’s Land Use Plan. Urban Water Management Plan Vernon’s Urban Water Management Plan provides the long- term plan and vision for managing its water resources and providing a reliable supply of water to its customers. The Plan details water supplies, water quality impacts, water demand management measures, water shortage contingency plan, and water recycling methods.

Standardized Emergency Management System Multi- Hazard Functional Plan Vernon’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Multi-Hazard Function Plan addresses the City’s planned response to extraordinary emergency situations associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and natural security emergencies. The plan does not address normal day-to-day emergencies or the well-established and routine procedure used in coping with such emergencies. Instead, the operational concepts reflected in this Plan focus on potential large-scale disasters, which can generate unique situations requiring unusual emergency responses. .. ..

The Land Use Policy Map graphically illustrates the planned pattern of land use in Vernon and the City’s sphere ofsphere of influence, which consists of unincorporated lands adjacent to Vernon which have a bearing and influence on properties in the City. The General Plan and Land Use Element goals and policies provide guidance to the City Council and City officials regarding zoning, land subdivision, public improvements, and physical development programs. The Land Use Element and the circulation portion of the Circulation and Infrastructure Element are closely tied. It is intended that the land use patterns and intensities permitted by Land Use Element policies be supported by the streets, .. .. Item 2 Page 37 of 399 Vernon General Plan Land Use Element Land Use Element - 2 highways, and other transportation systems planned in the Circulation and Infrastructure Element. Vernon recognizes that its street system is constrained by long-established development patterns, and land use policies have been crafted accordingly to minimize the adverse effects of specific land uses on the local street system. To continue to attract and support industrial businesses, the City must be able to accommodate the vehicular traffic associated with desired uses. With regard to housing, long-standing City policy has been to discourage housing, recognizing that the traffic, noise, and odors that industrial uses produce are generally incompatible with residential development. In the past, land use policy limited housing to existing, long-established single-family homes and apartments. However, in 2011 the City Council committed to implementing new good governance practicesgovernance practices that included adopting land use policies aimed at increasing the voting populaceous. Specifically, the City has identified specific locations where a limited amount of new housing can be constructed, and has adopted implementing zoning regulations. Recognizing Vernon’s mission to remain and industrial city, the locations for housing have been selected to minimize adverse interface between industrial and residential uses, and encourage the development of mixed-use centers where people-centric environments can bring addditional talent and services to Vernon businesses. Vernon’s city boundaries blur and blend into urban Los Angeles County, and many of the people workingpeople inworking in businesses in Vernon live relatively close by in communities removed from industrial conditions and where they have access to parks, grocery stores, pharmacies, and other residential amenities. Thus, it is appropriate that new housing opportunities in Vernon remain very limited. 1.2 Focus The key policy objective of the City is to remain almost exclusively an industrial city, serving the needs of industry, including local, national, and international consumers of goods produced by manufacturers, while addressing the City’s need to add population and position itself for future economic growth.. To fulfill this objective, this Element describes a limited range of land use categories, establishes standards of use and intensity, and sets forthsets forth policies relating to use of properties. 1.3 Flood Management .. ..

Please refer to the Safety Element, which addresses this issue in detail. 2.0 LAND USE PLAN The Land Use Plan consists of the Land Use Policy Map and text that describes the types and intensities of permitted uses. The Land Use Plan, along with the Zoning Ordinance, provides guidance and direction for all planning and land use decisions. 2.1 Land Use Terms and Concepts In discussing how properties may be developed, this Element uses the following planning terms and concepts. Land Use Designations “Designation” means a generalized category of land use type, with associated standards of use and development. Intensity Intensity is used to describe the level of development existing or permitted on a lot or parcel of land. Intensity applies to industrial and commercial land uses. Intensity means the total building square footage, percent of lot coverage, or floor-area ratio established on a property. The measure of intensity Vernon has adopted is the floor-area ratio. Floor-area ratio, or FAR, describes the relationship between the total square footage of development on a lot and the area of that lot. In general, the FAR can be determined by dividing the gross floor area of all buildings on a lot by the land area of the lot. A precise definition is contained in the Zoning Ordinance. FAR and factors such as building square footage, building height, and the percent of the lot devoted to parking, open storage, and similar uses are all interrelated. For example, a 20,000 square-foot building on a 40,000 square-foot lot has a FAR of 0.50:1. This 0.50:1 FAR can accommodate a single -story building that covers half the lot or a two-story building with reduced lot coverage. Figure LU-1 illustrates different FAR calculations. Figure LU-1: Floor Area Ratio .. .. Item 2 Page 40 of 399 Vernon General Plan Land Use Element Land Use Element - 5 Density For residential uses, the term density describes the level of development permitted. New residential uses, in addition to existing homes, are permitted only at a few limited locations in the City. Land use policy limits housing at these locations by establishing a maximum allowable density. Density is described in terms of the number of dwelling units allowed per net acre (du/acre). Net acre is defined as the gross project or lot area, less that portion of the site to be used or dedicated for use as a public road and for flood control purposes. For mixed-use areas, which may be developed with a mix of uses, including residential, form-based standards (heights, setbacks, open space requirements) establish a maximum potential buildout. Substantive Improvements Several land use policies call for the City to take action, or for new requirements to take effect, when land uses change or when substantive improvements are made to a property. In general, if a building with a nonconforming use is vacant for more than two years, there is a voluntary major alteration or repair (defined as an alteration or repair costing more than 50% of the building’s fair market value), or an increase in square footage, such change will require conformity with the permitted uses and development standards of the Zoning Ordinance. The requirements for bringing nonconforming uses into conformity with the Zoning Ordinance are described in detail in the Zoning Ordinance.

Item 2 Page 41 of 399 Vernon General Plan Land Use Element Land Use Element - 6 2.2 Land Use Designations and Land Use Policy Map The Land Use Policy Map, Figure LU-2, identifies the planned distribution of land use in Vernon. In recognition of Vernon’s unique status as an exclusively industrial city, the General Plan contains one two land use categoriesy (Industrial and Mixed- Use), and five Overlay Districts (Commercial, Rendering, Slaughtering, Housing, and Emergency Shelter). Industrial (I) and Overlay Districts Industrial (I) - Industrial (I) – The industrial designation is purposefully structured to allow for a broad range of uses that support the City’s desire to maintain its status as a regional manufacturing and industrial center. The Industrial land use designation allows manufacturing, industrial uses, refrigerated and cold storage warehouses, data centers, general warehousing, industrial gas manufacturing, and any use or activity undertaken by the City. Refineries, energy generating facilities, hazardous waste facilities, trash to energy facilities, petroleum related uses, and other complementary uses may be permitted with special approval such as a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Certain ancillary uses may be permitted in accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The maximum permitted FAR is 2:1. Overlay Districts All uses allowed in the Industrial category are permitted in the Overlay Districts. Each Overlay District allows certain specialized uses not permitted in other areas of the CityIndustrial category. The Zoning Ordinance may impose conditions on the permitted uses and may identify appropriate development standards. The Plan provides for five Overlay Districts:  Commercial  Rendering  Slaughtering  Housing  Emergency Shelter Commercial Overlay District – The Commercial Overlay District, encompassing approximately 535 acres, is established along Santa Fe Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Atlantic Boulevard, Formatted: Indent: Left: 0" .. ..

Item 2 Page 43 of 399 Vernon General Plan Land Use Element Land Use Element - 8 of the daily employee population. Such uses may be permitted with a Conditional Use Permit. Rendering Overlay District – A Rendering Overlay District, encompassing 164 acres, exists in the area indicated on the Land Use Policy Map. With a Conditional Use Permit, lots over one acre may be used for rendering. Slaughtering Overlay District – The Slaughtering Overlay District, encompassing 83 acres, is designated in the area indicated on the Land Use Policy Map. With a Conditional Use Permit, lots over one acre may be used for slaughtering of animals. Housing Overlay District – The Housing Overlay District is applicable only to sites that have been specifically identified by the City and determined to be the best locations for housing, given surrounding uses, proximity to services and amenities, and distance from large-scale industrial operations. Residential uses are permitted in this overlay with discretionary review, such as via a Development Agreement, given the ubiquitous nature of industrial businesses in Vernon. No more than 61 units shall be permitted within the Housing Overlay District citywide. Emergency Shelter Overlay District – The Emergency Shelter Overlay District is applicable only to sites that have been specifically identified by the City and determined to be appropriate locations for emergency shelters. This Overlay is established to comply with requirements of Government Code Section 65583(a)(4). Mixed-Use (MU) The Mixed-Use land use designation applies to limited sections of the City which will accommodate the need for commercial services for the community, for new residences to increase the voting population, and for smaller, talent-centric industries which seek out mixed-use environments. Most of the areas given this designation are characterized by older industrial structures which have excellent natural light and unique character-defining features. While these structures have become largely obsolete for modern, trucking-based industry, leading to vacancies or marginal uses, in many cases, they are perfect for reuse into production retail, art studios, live/work or creative office. Formatted: Justified .. .. Item 2 Page 44 of 399 Vernon General Plan Land Use Element Land Use Element - 9 The Mixed-Use designation allows for retail and office uses in addition to industrial uses. Special development standards apply within these areas which recognize the constraints of smaller sites with older structures, and which encourage a more pedestrian-oriented character to the areas. Multifamily residential and live/work uses are permitted within certain mixed-use areas as a part of mixed-use development, subject to area-specific standards. This category comprises 74 acres, or 2.7% of the City’s land area. 2.3 Implications of Land Use Policy Vernon is virtually built out, and at any point in time, few, if any, vacant parcels are available for development. New development only occurs as a result of land recycling, with newer, more modern industrial buildings replacing older facilities. Because many of the oldest buildings cover properties from lot line to lot line (with little or no on-site parking or loading spaces), new development frequently results in reduced lot coverage and thus reduced building space, as the new use is required to provide parking and loading per current zoning regulations. Thus, implementation of land use policy over time is not anticipated to notably increase the overall intensity of development in Vernon. Rather, uses will shift among the various permitted industrial, manufacturing, and limited commercial, and retail and residential uses. Also, up to 61 additional residential units are anticipated to be constructed within the Housing Overlay District. Total building square footage and the number of employees in Vernon has steadily declined since the early 1990s. The Land Use Element anticipates a continuing decline in building square footage and employees during the period of this General Plan. Table LU-1 identifies the building square footage and employment for the baseline year (2007) and the decline in square footage and employment. Table LU-2 identifies the building square footage for non -residential uses associated with the amendment of this General Plan in 2023 to include the Mixed-Use designation; growth is projected for the Westside Specific Plan horizon year of 2040. A small increase is projected; however, the increase is less than the decrease identified in Table LU-1. This anticipated decline is taken into account in developing land use policy set forth in the Land Use Policy Map and the goals and policies contained in this Element.

The City has revised this policy to permit very limited new residential development in specifically designated areas, with the goal of increasing the voting population and enhancing government accountability. In the Housing Overlay Zone, Lland use policy will permit up to 61 new housing units; however, only one 45-unit housing project was built in this zone via the Housing Overlay District, raising the population of the City to 222 persons by the 2020 U.S. Census. The population increase associated with this land use policy is estimated to be 216 additional Vernon residents, assuming the average Vernon household size reported in the 2010 Census. In the Mixed-Use designation, land use policy anticipates a buildout of 874 new housing units, resulting in an estimated 2,486 additional Vernon residents, assuming the average Los Angeles County household size (2015-2019 ACS). This Thus, the City’s modified land use policiesy would tripleincrease the baseline 2010 resident population from 112 persons to an estimated 3282,708 persons, establishing a sizable residential population support the long-term good governance of the City..

Both the Element and the Ordinance describe the distribution and intensity limits for development. Whereas the Land Use Element sets forth the broad policies for future development, the Zoning Ordinance provides specific detail, enforcement mechanisms, development standards, and provides for deviations through Conditional Use Permits, Variances, and amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance includes the following zoning districts to implement land use policy: Table LU-2 Relationship of Land Use Categories and Zoning Districts Land Use Designation Corresponding Zoning District Industrial General Industrial (I) Commercial Overlay Commercial - 1 (C-1) Commercial - 2 (C-2) Slaughtering Overlay Slaughtering Overlay (S) Rendering Overlay Rendering Overlay (R) Housing Overlay Housing Overlay (H) Emergency Shelter Overlay Emergency Shelter Overlay (ES) Trucking and Freight Terminal Overlay (TF) Mixed-Use Mixed-Use – City Center (MU-CC) Mixed-Use – Santa Fe South (MU-S) Mixed-Use – Santa Fe North (MU-N) Mixed-Use – Pacific Hampton (MU- PH) 3.0 GOALS AND POLICIES Land use goals and policies related to land use and its distribution and intensity reflect the industrial nature of Vernon.

Vernon’s industrial nature involves both manufacturing and logistics. Vernon originally was oriented around rail transport, but over the years goods movement has relied increasingly on trucks, thus heightening the importance of a local street system capable of safely and efficiently handling multi-axle truck traffic. In addition to good access to transportation, industrial businesses demand reliable, high-volume utilities to properly conduct their operations. Intense land uses require large amounts of electricity and water, and also generate large amounts of sewage. Today’s globalized .. .. Item 2 Page 59 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 2 economy demands fast, high-capacity telephone and other communications systems. To remain competitive as a location for industry, Vernon must be able to deliver or otherwise provide high-quality utility services at competitive prices. 1.2 Focus California planning law requires the inclusion of a Circulation Element addressing both transportation and non-transportation infrastructure. While all elements of the General Plan must be consistent with each other, the Circulation Element must, by State law, correlate directly to the Land Use Element. 2.0 CIRCULATION PLAN 2.1 Regional Circulation Streets and Freeways Vernon lies two miles southeast of the industrial areas of downtown Los Angeles, and both the local roadway and freeway systems directly connect the industrial businesses in Vernon with industrial development in adjacent communities. Key connections include:  Downtown Los Angeles, via Alameda Street and Santa Fe Avenue;  The Boyle Heights district of the City of Los Angeles, via Soto Street, Washington Boulevard, and Downey Road;  The City of Commerce, via Washington Boulevard, Interstate 710, and Atlantic Boulevard;  The City of Bell, via Bandini Boulevard and Interstate 710;  The City of Maywood, via Atlantic Boulevard;  The City of Huntington Park, via Slauson Avenue, Soto Street, Pacific Boulevard, Santa Fe Avenue, and Alameda Street;  Portions of the City of Los Angeles south of downtown, connected by many streets across the shared boundary of Alameda Street, including Vernon Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue. Of particular note is the Long Beach Freeway, Interstate 710. .. .. Item 2 Page 60 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 3 Interstate 710 provides an important direct connection to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Although less than half a mile of this freeway traverses Vernon, that portion contains the very busy Atlantic Boulevard/Bandini Boulevard interchange. This frequently congested interchange carries a substantial amount of truck traffic from Vernon, particularly from the adjacent Hobart Rail Yard. In August of 2004, the Gateway Cities Council of Governments made preliminary recommendations to improve the Atlantic/Bandini interchange, as well as to build truck ramps directly from the rail yards to the freeway. Engineering plans and studies for this interchange will continue in concert with broader plans for improvements to I-710, with improvements to the interchange expected be accomplished prior to 2030. The timing will depend upon State approvals and funding. Once implemented, the interchange improvements are expected to relieve a major traffic bottleneck and improve safety by separating autos from heavy truck traffic. The City has undertaken a project to partially relieve congestion at the Atlantic/Bandini interchange. The extension of 26th Street to Bandini Boulevard will provide a means for through traffic to bypass the Atlantic/Bandini interchange. Railroads In the early years of the twentieth century, rail transport dominated the distribution of materials and manufactured goods, so an extensive rail network was built in Vernon with main lines, switching yards, and many spur lines to serve industrial properties. Over the years, trucks have come to play a more important role in freight transport, especially for access to individual businesses. Some spur rail lines have been abandoned, but rail traffic still plays a major role in the transport of materials and goods. Several rail lines cross Vernon, the most important of which is the Alameda Corridor. The Alameda Corridor, opened in 2002, serves as the primary connection between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the rail yards of Vernon, Commerce, and downtown Los Angeles. The Alameda Corridor places ten miles of track inside the 30- foot-deep Mid-Corridor Trench between the northern .. .. Item 2 Page 61 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 4 boundary of Vernon at 25th Street south to the State Route 91 freeway. This has eliminated many dangerous and time- consuming conflicts between surface street traffic and at- grade rail crossings, both in Vernon and elsewhere along the line. While the Alameda Corridor takes much of the container shipping traffic that would otherwise use trucks or the older Union Pacific (UP) or Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) lines, the older lines do still receive some use. Many at-grade rail crossings remain in the City. These should gradually decrease as the City encourages rail lines to merge facilities, to abandon spur lines, and to participate in separating streets from remaining railways. The Hobart Yard, located in the northeastern portion of Vernon, links the Alameda Corridor and BNSF lines with the wider transcontinental rail system, serving to assemble longer trains and transfer shipping containers between trucks and trains. Vernon is also home to the smaller Malabar Yard (east of Santa Fe Avenue between Fruitland Avenue and Vernon Avenue), the Los Angeles Junction Yard (between Exchange Boulevard and the Los Angeles River), and a portion of the UP East Yard. Other important rail yards are located nearby but outside of the Vernon city limits. 2.2 Vernon’s Street System Streets in Vernon generally form a grid pattern, although not a regularly spaced grid. Many of the City’s streets do not extend more than two or three blocks, with many T- intersections. To accommodate large industrial lots, most streets in Vernon are spaced farther apart than is typical in urban residential or commercial areas; most blocks in the City are between 600 and 2,000 feet long. 2.2.1 Street Classification Vernon’s street system is differentiated by roadway size, function, and capacity. The four basic types of roadways in Vernon are described below. Figure CI-1 presents schematic cross-sections for each type of roadway that represent desirable standards. Deviations from these standards may occur in cases where physical constraints and/or right-of-way limitations are present. Provision of sidewalks and off-street parking may also affect the specific design of roadways. In addition, the median .. .. Item 2 Page 62 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 5 width of arterials and collectors will vary according to the area being served, right-of-way constraints, and turn lane requirements. The assignment of these classifications to streets in the City is shown on the Circulation Plan, Figure CI-2. Freeway Freeways are controlled-access, high-speed throughways included in the State and federal highway systems. Freeways carry regional through traffic, that is, traffic passing through Vernon without stopping in the City. The Atlantic Boulevard/Bandini Boulevard interchange of the I-710, the Long Beach Freeway, is in Vernon. Access to the regional highway system for Vernon businesses and visitors is provided at the interchange between I-710, Atlantic Boulevard, and Bandini Boulevard. The design, construction, and maintenance of freeways are under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Arterial Arterial streets, together with freeways, form a network carrying long-distance, high-speed traffic. Arterial streets transport large volumes of traffic from one part of the City to another and connect to the regional street system. The arterial streets also move traffic between cities in locations where a freeway does not link the two. Of the roadways designed, constructed, and maintained by the City, arterials are designed to have the highest traffic carrying capacity, the highest speeds, and limited interference with traffic flow by driveways. Limitations on truck access to and from abutting properties are most important on arterial streets to prevent obstructions and delays. Arterial streets aligned generally north-south in Vernon are, from west to east:  Alameda Street  Santa Fe Avenue  Pacific Avenue (this curves broadly from north- south to east-west before continuing as Vernon Avenue)  Soto Street  Downey Road  Atlantic Boulevard .. ..

Collectors are designed primarily to move traffic, but also to provide access to abutting properties. Collectors differ from arterials in that collectors distribute trips from the arterials to ultimate destinations. Conversely, collectors also collect traffic from local streets and channel it onto the arterials. Ideally, collector streets should form a network, but with no one collector extending so far that it functions as an arterial street. Collector streets in Vernon aligned generally north -south include:  Boyle Avenue Collector streets aligned generally east -west in Vernon are, from north to south:  25th Street/26th Street  38th Street/37th Street (these two streets flow into each other, and continue as Bandini Boulevard east of Soto Street)  Vernon Avenue (this street is discontinuous and offset at Santa Fe Avenue)  Leonis Boulevard (this street continues as District Boulevard east of Downey Road)  District Boulevard east of Atlantic Boulevard  Fruitland Avenue Local Local streets provide direct access to individual parcels. The local street is not designed for through traffic. Rather, local streets should move traffic toward the nearest .. .. Item 2 Page 66 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 9 collector street. Therefore, speeds on local streets are relatively low, and on-street parking is usually permitted. Local streets are two-lane roadways without medians. When traffic congestion is detected through closed circuit detection cameras and/or via electronic traffic loops, the current signal patterns are adjusted to relieve or reduce the congestion. 2.2.2 Measuring roadway performance Evaluating the ability of the circulation system to serve Vernon’s businesses and other users requires establishing suitable performance criteria. Within the Circulation and Infrastructure Element, two measures are used to describe traffic flow on Vernon’s roadways and freeway access points: Volume to Capacity Ratios (V/C) and Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU). These measures are used to establish Level of Service (LOS) categories describing the performance of roadways and access points throughout the City. Each of these measures is described briefly below. Volume to Capacity Ratio (V/C) This measure, consisting of a ratio between volume and theoretical capacity, is used to measure the performance of roadway facilities. Volume is established either by a traffic count (in the case of current volumes) or by a forecast for a future point in time. Capacity refers to the vehicle carrying ability of a roadway at free flow speed, and is a critical component of roadway design. For example, a roadway that carries 16,000 vehicles per day, with the capacity to accommodate 20,000 vehicles per day at free flow speed, has a V/C of 0.80. Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) This measure is applied using peak hour volumes and considers the geometric configuration of intersections when measuring capacity. Intersection Capacity Utilization sums the V/C ratios for the critical movements of an intersection, and thus accounts for the overall performance of intersections, which are the most critical limitations within the City roadway system. Level of Service (LOS) Level of Service (LOS) describes the efficiency and quality of traffic operations. Six categories of LOS – the letter designations A to F – are used to identify traffic conditions, with LOS A representing excellent conditions and LOS F .. .. Item 2 Page 67 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 10 representing extreme congestion. The LOS designations are based upon V/C ratios calculated for freeway access ramps and roadway segments, as well as ICU values calculated for intersections. Table CI-1 shows V/C and ICU ranges and the corresponding LOS, with a description of corresponding traffic conditions. The City of Vernon uses LOS D as its minimum standard for traffic operations. Table CI-1 Level of Service Descriptions Level of Service Description of Traffic Conditions V/C or ICU A Very short delays at intersections and free flow operation. Vehicles are completely unimpeded and can maneuver freely within traffic. 0.00 – 0.60 B Short delays of 10 to 20 seconds at intersections. Vehicles are completely unimpeded and can maneuver through traffic. 0.61 - 0.70 C Stable flow, with delays of 20 to 35 seconds at intersections. Some waiting vehicles may fail to go through the intersection before the green light turns red. Ability to maneuver and change lanes at mid-block is somewhat restricted. 0.71 – 0.80 D Congestion becomes more noticeable, with delays of 35 to 55 seconds at intersections. Many vehicles are required to stop at signals, and travel speeds along these roadways become slower. 0.81 – 0.90 E Unstable traffic flow, with delays of 55 to 80 seconds at intersections. Most vehicles are required to wait at least one traffic signal cycle. 0.91 – 1.00 F Traffic volumes exceed capacity, resulting in jammed intersections. This can result in delays greater than 80 seconds, and/or two-cycle signal waits. Above 1.00 Source: Highway Capacity Manual 2000, Transportation Research Board, National Research Council .. .. Item 2 Page 68 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 11 2.2.3 Circulation System Improvements Needed to Meet Level of Service Goals The City is investigating the following programs with the intent of improving the overall traffic flows throughout Vernon during morning and evening peak hours. These programs include physical improvements, such as widening streets, as well as advanced technological strategies, such as monitoring traffic flows using video and computer systems. Transportation System Management Although widening some roads in Vernon may help in reducing traffic congestion, Vernon must pursue alternative cost effective and efficient methods in improving traffic flows. Due to narrow streets and limited right-of-ways, Vernon’s traffic congestion can no longer be resolved by capacity enhancements such as lane re-striping or roadway widening. An alternative strategy is implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), which allows a city to control traffic signals by using advanced computer technologies, monitor traffic using video monitoring, and provide traveler information to motorists. The City intends to work toward implementing ITS systems at strategic locations to improve traffic flows. The City recommends implementing an ITS program, the Los Angeles County automated traffic surveillance and control (ATSAC) system, in an effort to improve traffic flow and increase capacity throughout the City. Traffic signal surveillance and control is a developing method of measuring the efficiency of traffic signal systems. This approach consists of installation of surveillance cameras and traffic volume counters to monitor traffic flow. Implementation of a citywide ATSAC system will improve many of the deficient intersections to an acceptable level of service. In addition to the ATSAC system, the following physical improvements will also help alleviate traffic congestion in the City. 26th Street Extension The City is planning to improve east to west access, near the I-710 Freeway and Atlantic Boulevard, by extending 26th Street easterly across Atlantic Boulevard and connecting with Bandini Boulevard. This improvement .. .. Item 2 Page 69 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 12 will help improve intersection conditions at Atlantic Boulevard/Bandini Boulevard/I-710 Freeway interchange. Atlantic Boulevard Bridge Widening The City of Vernon is planning to widen the Atlantic Boulevard Bridge over the Los Angeles River. The project plans to widen bridge to six lanes. Soto Street Widening Soto Street is a key north-south arterial that brings traffic from Interstate 10 to and through Vernon. Of the north- south arterials in the City, Soto Street has the best ability to handle higher volumes, and particularly through volumes. In 2002, the City of Vernon conducted the Soto Street Corridor Study to identify the best way to improve traffic flow along Soto Street and also relieve peak-hour congestions on parallel arterials. The preferred alternative involves widening Soto Street from four lanes to six lanes, three in each direction. This configuration requires widening the public right-of-way between 37th Street/Bandini Boulevard and Olympic Boulevard. Widening the public right-of-way will require each property owner with frontage along this section of Soto Street to dedicate between eight and 14 feet of property, depending on location, to public use. The City will require this dedication when a property undergoes a complete redevelopment or substantial improvement. The City may also proactively acquire some rights-of-way to achieve the planned configuration. When fully implemented, this plan will allow traffic to move more freely on Soto Street, improving the Level of Service. It will also have a secondary traffic-moderating effect on nearby streets. I-710 Freeway Improvements In a regional effort to improve truck movement from the ports to inland areas and overall increase the capacity of the I-710 Freeway, Caltrans has embarked on a major improvement program for the I-710 Freeway. The following improvements have been identified for the I-710 Freeway, between Slauson Avenue and Washington Boulevard, which will significantly contribute to traffic improvements in Vernon: .. .. Item 2 Page 70 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 13  The addition of two dedicated truck lanes with direct access to Hobart Rail Yard;  Added general purpose lanes on the Freeway;  Modication of Atlantic and Bandini Boulevards interchange;  Addition of Slauson Avenue interchange;  Closure of Washington Boulevard Interchange; and  Extension of District Boulevard and creation of new intersection at Slauson Avenue. 2.3 Off-Street Parking and Loading Facilities Vernon’s streets support a significant load of heavy truck traffic. Since the street system was developed early in the twentieth century, streets are typically narrower than industrial street standards, and the streets were not designed to handle today’s truck sizes and volume of traffic. Large multi-axle vehicles encounter difficulties maneuvering on the streets, and congestion and traffic back-ups frequently occur as trucks enter and leave properties. Many properties have small driveways and inadequate loading bays, and trucks making these difficult maneuvers to access properties can block traffic and cause delays. Further contributing to on-street congestion is significant on-street parking. Many businesses do not provide adequate off-street parking for employees, largely because the properties were developed before parking of any maginitude was requir ed. As properties transition to other uses, creating sufficient off-street parking to meet current zoning standards is extremely difficult. The City has considered many approaches to addressing the problems associated with inadequate off-street parking and loading facilities, including establishing criteria (such as vacancy in the building for over a year, major alteration or repair, or increase in square footage of a building) that would require the owner of a non-conforming property to bring parking and loading facilities into compliance with the City’s zoning standards. However, the widespread nature of the non-conformities makes this a difficult and costly proposition. Thus, the City will look to implement over time a variety of techniques to minimize congestion resulting from on-street parking and undersized or poorly configured loading facilities, which may include:  Restricting truck movements at key intersections and along key road segments; .. .. Item 2 Page 71 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 14  Allowing for development of shared parking facilities;  Establishing parking restrictions along key travel corridors; and  Requiring that parking and loading comply with current zoning code requirements whenever substantial property modifications are proposed, the property has been vacant for over a year, or there is a proposed increase in floor area. 2.4 Other Transportation Modes Vernon is served by buses operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro). As an important center of employment, several Metro bus lines serve Vernon, providing an important alternative to personal automobiles as a means of commuting to and from work. Buses are particularly important for Vernon for several reasons. First, they provide transportation for workers who may be low income and c annot readily afford an automobile or gasoline. Second, by reducing the number of cars on the road, they reduce traffic and conflicts between cars and heavy trucks. Third, bus service reduces the strain on employers to provide parking for their workers. Located west of the City of Vernon, the Metro’s Blue Line light rail system also provides an important regional link for Vernon commuters. The Blue Line has a station at Vernon Avenue, approximately one-quarter mile west of the City boundary. From this station or adjacent stations at Washington Boulevard or Slauson Avenue, workers may walk to their workplaces or connect to one of several bus lines. While bicycles represent an additional mode of travel, biking is not encouraged on Vernon’s streets due to the heavy truck traffic and narrow configuration of many streets, which would present dangers to cyclists. The City of Vernon will cooperate with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and other local agencies in their efforts to complete a bicycle path along the levee of the Los Angeles River connecting downtown Los Angeles with the waterfront in Long Beach. .. .. Item 2 Page 72 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 15 3.0 MEETING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS 3.1 Water and Wastewater Three water agencies supply water to the businesses, residents, and utilities in Vernon (see Figure CI-3). The majority of the City’s water is supplied by the City of Vernon’s Water Department. The area north of the Los Angeles River and east of a line just west of Indiana Street is supplied by the California Water Service Company (Cal Water), East Los Angeles District. The small portion of Vernon south of the Los Angeles River and east of Atlantic Boulevard is serviced by Maywood Mutual Water Company Number 3. The City of Vernon water system has received a Class I rating, the highest possible, by the Insurance Service Organization. The City’s water distribution system consists of 250,000 linear feet of pipe, nine wells, seven ground-level reservoirs, one elevated tank, and a below- ground reservoir. The total storage capacity is 16 million gallons. In addition, Vernon has a direct interconnection to the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The MWD connection provides both a supplemental water source and an emergency supply in the event of a major power outage. The average pressure in the distribution systems is about 75 pounds per square inch (psi). Details of the sources and levels of water consumption used by the City of Vernon Water Department are provided in the Resources Element. The City owns its own sewerge collection system which discharges into the system managed by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD). The majority of Vernon is within District 23, but also contains territory in Districts 1 and 2. .. ..

Item 2 Page 74 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 17 These Districts, along with more than a dozen others, are signatories to a Joint Outfall Agreement. This agreement provides for the operation and maintenance of an interconnected Joint Operating System of wastewater collection, treatment, reuse, and disposal facilities across a large portion of the urban region. The Joint Operating System includes the following treatment plants:  Joint Water Pollution Control Plant, Carson;  Whittier Narrows Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), near South El Monte;  Los Coyotes WRP, Cerritos;  San Jose Creek WRP, near Industry;  Long Beach WRP, Long Beach; and  Pomona WRP, Pomona. All of the sewerage generated in Vernon is treated by the Joint Water Pollution Control agency. 3.2 Storm Drainage Stormwater runoff in Vernon is conveyed through local and and Los Angeles County Flood Control District storm drainage systems. Discharges are regulated under an existing NPDES permit for municipal stormwater (NPDES Permit CAS004001, Order No. 01-182, and in particular, Subsection 8.14.6.3-Industrial Stormwater). This permit was not written specifically for Vernon; it covers most of Los Angeles County and includes Vernon as a co- permittee. The permit establishes a framework of requirements for monitoring discharges and water quality, performing best management practices, and submitting reports to the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region. To address growing concerns with stormwater runoff contamination in urban areas, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWCB) looks for co- permittees to capture and treat runoff on individual parcels at the time properties are redeveloped. The LARWCB policy is to seek to infiltrate as much of the stormwater as practical. In Vernon, this approach is difficult,primarily due to the industrial nature of the City and the potential for ground water contamination and the need to utilize available surface area to meet parking and loading requirements. The City supports a more comprehensive approach and will continue to explore .. .. Item 2 Page 75 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 18 options to meet NPDES requirements creatively and in ways that can help achieve other City goals as well. 3.3 Electrical Generation and Distribution The City of Vernon operates its own Light and Power Department, supplying customers throughout the City with reliable and comparatively low-cost electrical power. The City generates electrical power and also purchases power from third-party suppliers through its connection with the Southern California Edison bulk power system and the Cal-ISO grid at the Laguna Bell Substation. For many years, the City’s power-generating facility has supplied local customers with local power, supplemented as needed through connections to the grid. More recently, the Malburg Generating Station, which is a combined cycle plant with two natural-gas-fired combustion turbines and one steam turbine, has been providing additional power. However, in an effort to be able to supply nearly all of the local electrical demand, the City intends to construct a new natural gas-fired power plant at 3200 Fruitland Avenue. When constructed, the Vernon Power Plant is expected to have a capacity of 914 megawatts of electric power using three natural-gas-fired combustion turbines and one steam turbine. Vernon anticipates that when this facility is operational, Vernon will not need to import electricity from outside sources, and will even be able to contribute to the regional electricity reserves through a line connecting the plant to Southern California Edison’s Laguna Bell substation in Commerce. 3.4 Communications and Information Technology To attract new businesses and to accommodate businesses’ ever-changing telecommunications needs, Vernon has established a network of fiber-optic cables in the City. This enables businesses to receive exceptionally clear telephone and internet service, giving Vernon an advantage when competing for business. The City will continue to be proactive in developing telecommunications systems beneficial to businesses, including the development of data centers in the City. .. .. Item 2 Page 76 of 399 Vernon General Plan Circulation and Infrastructure Element Circulation and Infrastructure Element - 19 3.5 Gas System As a means of attracting and retaining industrial users, the City has developed a system for transporting and providing natural gas to businesses within the City at competitive prices. The City is currently providing natural gas to the Malburg Generating Plant and other businesses. A fully developed distribution system exists and connection is available to all businesses. 4.0 GOALS AND POLICIES To support the needs of existing businesses in Vernon and to attract new enterprises consistent with the City’s vision to remain an industrial city, Vernon will continue to improve its infrastructure – from the street system to energy facilities to communications systems.

Item 2 Page 83 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 1 HOUSING ELEMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION Vernon is located near the geographic center of Los Angeles County. The City is bounded on the north and west by Los Angeles, on the east by Commerce and Bell, and on the south by Huntington Park and Maywood. Vernon is three miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles (Figure H -1) and 15 miles north of major harbor and port facilities in San Pedro and Long Beach. The City’s fully industrial nature generally creates conflicts with housing due to safety and environmental concerns. The Southern California Council of Governments (SCAG) historically has assigned Vernon very low housing production goals – and in the case of this cycle, a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of two units - in recognition of Vernon’s unique status as city devoted almost exclusively to industrial uses. Past City policy has precluded the development of any new residential units due to potential conflicts with industry. However, efforts by the City to create and implement a number of reforms and initiatives to enhance the accountability and transparency of its government and better provide for the .. .. Item 2 Page 84 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 2 Holabird Av welfare of its residents and businesses have led to a policy change regarding housing. Specifically, the City of Vernon has established a policy to increase the City’s population to enhance government accountability through the construction of approximately 30 to 50 new non-City owned housing units, including units specifically designated for low- and very low- income households. Also, the City of Vernon is committed to maintaining the existing, long-established housing stock of 31 units. .. .. Item 2 Page 85 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 3 1.1 State Requirement The California Government Code is very specific concerning the preparation and content of a housing element. It is the only element which must be reviewed by the State for completeness and compliance with the law before it is adopted. The element examines existing conditions and, through analysis, identifies housing needs and presents programs to meet those needs. The legislature has deemed that the Housing Element is the appropriate mechanism to implement State-wide goals regarding the provision of decent and suitable housing for all persons. The Government Code also makes it clear that the provision of affordable housing is the responsibility of all local governments and that they, using vested powers, should make a conscious effort to see that there are housing opportunities for all income groups (Section 65580). The intent of the State housing element requirements is based on the following concerns (Section 65581): 1. Local governments should recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the attainment of the State’s housing goals; 2. Cities and counties should prepare and implement housing elements coordinated with State and federal efforts to achieve the State’s housing goals; 3. Each local jurisdiction should participate in determining the necessary efforts required to attain the State’s housing goals; and 4. Each local government must cooperate with other local governments to address regional housing needs. This Housing Element was prepared in compliance with State requirements, and covers the 2014-2021 planning period for jurisdictions in the SCAG region. Many of the housing goals and programs which are desirable in non-industrial jurisdictions are not feasible in Vernon. The noise, dust, vibration, chemical wastes, and odors from Vernon’s local industries (many of which operate around the clock) serve as a deterrent to housing development in almost all locations within the City. Moreover, housing generally should not be encouraged in close proximity to heavy industry .. .. Item 2 Page 86 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 4 for health and safety reasons. The Government Code makes it clear that the local government has the responsibility to consider such environmental factors in the Housing Element (Section 65580[e]). Therefore, while each requirement of State housing element law is referenced, this Housing Element reflects the unique realities within the City of Vernon. Potential sites for new housing have been analyzed in detail, including the conduct of a health risk assessment to identify the most preferable sites. 1.2 Relation to Other General Plan Elements The Vernon General Plan is comprised of the following six elements:  Land Use;  Circulation and Infrastructure;  Housing;  Safety;  Resources; and  Noise. The Housing Element builds upon the other General Plan elements and is entirely consistent with the policies and proposals set forth by the Plan. The General Plan was comprehensively updated in 2007. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future, the Plan (including the Housing Element) will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained. 1.3 Sources of Information The City of Vernon consists of two Census Tracts in the 2010 Census, including all of 5324.00 and a small portion of 5323.04. The 2010 Census incorrectly indicates that a portion of Census Tract 5323.02 is located in the City of Vernon; however, any actual overlap of the City boundary and Census Tract 5323.02 is a mapping error and does not represent any substantial area. The 2010 Census indicates that there are 29 housing units in Vernon, of which 28 were occupied as of 2010. However, both the 1990 and the 2000 Censuses has incorrectly documented the City’s unit count figures. The State Department of Finance (DOF) provides more up-to-date housing information based on the Census data. For the 2012 DOF housing estimates, the .. .. Item 2 Page 87 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 5 housing count has been adjusted to accurately reflect Vernon’s housing count known number of units: 31.. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) also prepares growth forecasts for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for cities within the SCAG region. SCAG’s 2012 adopted growth forecasts identify Vernon as having 30 households in 2008, with a projection for 30 units in 2035. The City has verified the existence of 31 units within its jurisdiction (of which 30 were occupied as of September 2012), the addresses for which are listed in Appendix C. While Census and SCAG data are used within the Housing Element, it is hereby acknowledged these data represent an undercount of two units and one unit, respectively. In addition, because of the City’s extremely limited housing stock, combined with the fact that the City owns 26 of these units, original data from the City on housing and household characteristics are utilized where available in place of the Census. In addition to housing conditions and market information provided by the City, the following documents serve as supplemental material to the Vernon Housing Element and are incorporated by reference: 1. 2012 SCAG Regional Transportation Plan Socioeconomic Projections 2. 2010 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data; HUD tabulations based on 2006-2010 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates developed by the U.S Census Bureau 1.4 Public Participation Section 65583 (c)(6)(A) of the Government Code states: “The local government shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort.” For purposes of this Housing Element, outreach to the community was conducted to assess the types of and locations for housing to be considered as part of the City’s reform .. ..

The following meetings were held to gather input into the development of the Housing Element:  Housing Commission Workshop, February 9, 2012. The Housing Element consultant made a presentation to the Commission that provided an overview of the City’s housing commitments, reviewed options to meet those commitments, identified known constraints, and identified sites under consideration for potential housing.  Vernon Chamber of Commerce Meeting, March 29, 2012. The Housing Element consultant met with Chamber representatives and made a presentation similar to that conducted with the Housing Commission.  City Council Workshop, April 17, 2012. Based on input received during the two meetings described above, the Housing Element consultant refined the presentation to focus on preferred housing sites, options for housing types, and potential environmental and health risks located on or near the preferred sites. In addition, community residents were provided the opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Element prior to adoption. Upon receipt of comments from the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the Draft Element, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the Element. (The City Council has not created a separate Planning Commission, so all public hearings are conducted before the Council.) For all hearings, notice was published in the local newspaper, posted in the City, and mailed to those who have a request for notice on file in advance of the hearing. The Draft Element was available for review online and in the City’s Community Services Department. Copies were made available on request to any person at a nominal charge. The public hearing provided an opportunity for public comment, and recommendations were considered by City Council for incorporation into the Element. In December of 2007, the City adopted a comprehensive revision to its Zoning Ordinance. As part of this process, the City held a series of public meetings with property and .. ..

This successful outreach process resulted in full support of the revisions to the Zoning Ordinance. As part of this Housing Element Update, the Zoning Ordinance was again amended to create an overlay zone to be applied to sites where housing will be permitted. A second overlay was created to allow for the establishment of emergency housing pursuant to Government Code 65583(a)(4). The City conducted a comprehensive review of the most viable housing sites in the City, and through the new overlay districts has established implementing zoning to facilitate housing development. The City made the draft Housing Element, with revisions as recommended by HCD, available to the public in December 2012 through January 2013.

The City had a 1980 housing stock of 35 dwelling units, supporting a resident population of 85 persons. Only one residential unit has been constructed since that time. Several substandard residential units have been removed from the housing stock, including three units in 1984, one unit in 1985, and one in 1992, bringing the current unit count to 31. These housing units are all located west of Downey Road. Since 1980, the resident population has ranged between 77 and 120 persons, with the current population estimated by the 2010 Census to be 112 persons. For 2012, the Department of Finance reported 120 persons. The 2006-2010 American Community Survey indicates that the majority of residents in Vernon are employed in management, service, and sales industries.

Average household size is 4.0 persons per unit. Housing vacancy is generally very low in the City, with only one rental unit unoccupied according to the 2010 Census. No owner-occupied housing is vacant. Table H-3 presents 2012 data on housing units per structure, as reported to the State Department of Finance. The majority of Vernon’s housing stock is comprised of single-family dwellings, with only one apartment building located in the City. The City owns 84 percent of the total housing stock: 26 dwelling units, 18 of which are single-family dwellings and one of which is an eight-unit apartment building. The City rents these units. As part of the reform initiative, the City established a lottery system for the units to allow a broader base of persons to be eligible to rent units in Vernon. .. ..

Sacramento, California, May 2012. Housing Condition Given the limited housing stock in Vernon, City staff is able to assess housing conditions on an ongoing basis. Although the housing stock is older (largely built before 1950), City staff has determined that all 31 units, or 100% of the housing stock, is well maintained and in good condition. No units have been determined to need replacement. One unit, which had fallen into disrepair, was demolished by its owner in 1992. A major reason for the unusually good quality of housing conditions in Vernon is the City’s ownership of 84 percent of the housing stock and its responsibility for maintaining these units. As needed, the City performs any required repairs and upgrades. The great demand for industrial space in the City means that unnecessary or poorly maintained units are unlikely to remain unless acquired by the City. Housing Affordability The California Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5 provides the following definition of affordable housing cost based on the area median income level (AMI) adjusted by family size and income level: .. ..

The Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)—special 2000 Census tabulations developed by HUD—provides a specific breakdown of household income adjusted for family size. According to CHAS Data, one-quarter of the households in Vernon were low income, earning between 51 and 80 percent of the Los Angeles County median family income (MFI) of $64,800. All other households earned more than 80 percent MFI. Due to the fact that the City owns and rents most of the housing at unusually low mon thly rents, housing overpayment is virtually non-existent.1 As of 2012, City-owned apartments and houses largely rented at the following monthly payments, well below market levels for the region:  1-bedroom apartment $120  2-bedroom apartment $240  1-bedroom house $120  2-bedroom house $240  3-bedroom house $360 1 No housing units in the City have been sold in recent years. As such, an estimate of ownership housing costs is unavailable. However, recent (2012) land sales for large industrial sites have been priced at approximately $40 per square foot, depending on location, soil condition and necessary demolition costs. .. .. Item 2 Page 94 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 12 Implementation of the good government reforms now underway will result in annual rent increases for persons currently living in the units. Using the California Health and Safety Code’s updated affordability thresholds, current housing affordability at the County level can be estimated for the various income groups (Table H-5). Housing overpayment occurs when a households pays more than 30 percent of gross monthly income on housing costs. A comparison of housing costs in Vernon and maximum affordable prices for low-income households in Los Angeles County shows that the City’s rental rates are well below the maximum affordable rents for very low-income (less than 50% MFI) households, and some one- and two-bedroom apartments may even be affordable to extremely low-income households (although the CHAS data indicate that there are no very low- or extremely low-income households in the City). As such, no households in Vernon experience a housing cost burden. As rental rates rise over time pursuant to the good government reform initiatives, households will experience increased housing costs. Rental rates are anticipated to transition to market rate costs by 2016, as shown below, through annual increases in rent. Additionally, when there is a change in tenancy, new tenants will pay market rate. Market rate costs will be affordable for very low and moderate income households. 1-bedroom unit: $120 to $696 2-bedroom unit: $240 to $1,450 to $839 to $1,450 3-bedroom unit: $240 to $1,114 to $1,000 to $1,700 Certain segments of the population may have a more difficult time finding decent, affordable housing due to special circumstances. Government Code Section 65583(a) requires cities to evaluate the following special needs households in the Housing Element: elderly, disabled persons, developmentally disable persons, large families, female-headed households, farmworkers, and the homeless. Due to the small size of the City’s resident population, the magnitude of households in Vernon with special needs is very small. .. ..

Item 2 Page 96 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 14 Special Needs Groups Elderly The special needs of many elderly households result from their lower, fixed incomes, physical disabilities, and dependence needs. According to the 2010 Census, 14 residents in Vernon are age 65 and above, representing 12 percent of the population. The proportion of elderly persons in Vernon is likely to remain low as the majority of the City’s limited housing stock is occupied by working-age persons. Disabled Persons Disability is a physical or mental condition that affects the functioning of a person. Physical disabilities can hinder access to housing units of conventional design, as well as limit the ability to earn adequate income. The Census defines a disability as a long-lasting physical, mental, or emotional condition. This condition can make it difficult for a person to do activities such as walking, climbing stairs, dressing, bathing, learning, or remembering. This condition can also impede a person from being able to go outside the home alone or to work at a job or business. The City’s heavily industrial environment presents added constraints to the disabled. Large volumes of street and rail traffic, and delays caused by trains and parked trucks additionally limit the maneuverability of handicapped individuals. In order to address the needs of its handicapped residents and employees, the City enforces requirements for handicapped accessibility in new construction, and has undertaken a program to install curb ramps for wheelchairs. Developmentally Disabled According to Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code a "developmental disability" means a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term shall also include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature. .. .. Item 2 Page 97 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 15 The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community based services to persons with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two community-based facilities. Vernon is served by the South Central Los Angeles Regional Center and the Frank d. Lanterman Regional Center. These facilities provide point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities. In Vernon, only one person is a consumer of the services provided at the local Regional Center. In order to assist in the housing needs for persons with developmental disabilities, the City will implement programs to coordinate housing activities and outreach with the Regional Center and, encourage housing providers to designate a portion of new affordable housing developments for persons with disabilities, especially persons with developmental disabilities, and pursue funding sources designated for persons with special needs and disabilities. Large Families/Overcrowding Large families are identified as a group with special housing needs based on the limited availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Large households are often of lower income, which can result in the overcrowding of smaller dwelling units and in turn accelerate unit deterioration. The 2010 Census identifies eight renter-occupied households as having five or more members. The City’s industrial character presents similar disadvantages for families with children as it does for the handicapped. Access to residential services, such as education, recreation, and local retail goods and services, is along roadways with high levels of truck traffic, railroad crossings, and loading activities. These conditions make pedestrian access to residential service facilities difficult and often unsafe, particularly for children. In terms of household overcrowding (defined as greater than 1.01 persons per room), the 2010 Census identifies no overcrowded rental or ownership housing in Vernon2. Thus, household overcrowding is not an issue. 2 The 2010 Census indicated that 15 rental housing units were overcrowded, but the margin of error was so high it was not used for this analysis. Also, because the City owns virtually all units in the .. .. Item 2 Page 98 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 16 Female-Headed Households Female-headed households tend to have low incomes, thus limiting housing availability for this group. The 2010 Census identifies two female-headed households in Vernon, representing seven percent of all households. The housing needs of female-headed households of lower income can be addressed through the continued provision of the currently existing affordable housing in the City. Farmworkers According to the 2010 Census, no Vernon residents have Farming, Forestry, and Fishing occupations. Due to the lack of opportunities for agricultural operations and the highly industrial nature of the City, no farming operations exist in Vernon. As such, the City has no need for farmworker housing. Homeless Throughout the country, homelessness has become an increasing problem. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include the general lack of housing affordable to low and moderate-income persons, increases in the number of persons whose incomes fall below the poverty level, reductions in public subsidy to the poor, and the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. According to the Gateway Cities Council of Governments Homeless Action Plan, homeless “hotspots” surveys were conducted during the summer and fall of 2011, during which outreach workers noticed homeless couples and individuals sleeping under bridges and around the Los Angeles River on a nightly basis near the City of Vernon. Other than this one -time observation and casual comment, very few homeless persons have been recorded living in Vernon largely because the City is not desirable for the homeless given the City’s industrial environment and its lack of social and residential services. On October 15, 2007, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law SB2, which amends Government Code Sections 65582, 65583, and 65589.5 of State Housing Element Law. This legislation requires local jurisdictions to strengthen provisions for addressing housing needs of the homeless, including the community, the City can easily assess whether units are overcrowded. .. .. Item 2 Page 99 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 17 identification of a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use permit. Due to very low homeless population in the City and the industrial nature of the community, the City’s policy position is that development of emergency shelters in Vernon is not a good solution for addressing regional homelessness issues. Placing a homeless shelter in an area that has been deemed largely inappropriate for new housing due to environmental concerns—including noxious odors from rendering and slaughtering, proximity to hazardous waste sites, and truck traffic pollution and noise—could raise potential environmental justice concerns. A large number of facilities for homeless individuals and families are located within a five -mile radius of the City, in locations that do not have the environmental constraints that exist in Vernon. For example, the Salvation Army Shelter in the city of Bell is a regional emergency shelter offering emergency and transitional care for up to 340 homeless adults, including 154 in the shelter, 128 in the drug and alcohol program, and 49 in longer term transitional housing. In addition to a place to stay, the Bell Shelter provides case management; substance abuse rehabilitation; individual and group therapy/counseling; on-site health care, medical referrals and HIV/AIDS education; job training; on-site adult education classes and life skills classes. However, given that State law requires all jurisdictions to comply SB2 mandates, the City has established an emergency shelter overlay zone to be applied to a single parcel at the northwest corner of the City. Future Housing Needs State law requires jurisdictions to provide for their fair share of regional housing needs. SCAG determines the projected housing needs for Southern California jurisdictions. Future housing needs reflect the number of new units needed in a jurisdiction (future demand), plus an adequate supply of vacant housing to assure mobility and new units to replace losses. These needs were forecast by the 2014-2021 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), which considered on a regional and local level: market demand for housing, employment opportunities, availability of suitable sites and public facilities, commuting patterns, type and tenure of .. .. Item 2 Page 100 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 18 housing need, and housing needs of farm workers. The 2014- 2021 RHNA establishes a future housing need of two units in the City of Vernon, with one unit to be affordable to very low- income households and one unit to low-income households. Energy and Water Conservation Compared with Vernon’s energy-intensive industries, housing consumes only a small proportion of the City’s total energy consumption. The City utilizes the California Green Building Standards Code for all construction to minimize energy consumption. Necessary sound insulation on residential units also results in effective heat insulation, thus reducing energy usage. Electric power in Vernon is provided by the City’s local power plant and municipal utility system. The Southern California Gas Company and the City of Vernon Light & Power Department Gas Division provide fuel for most natural gas heating needs, and offers programs for water heater insulation, attic insulation, and water flow limiting devices. Water is provided to all dwelling units either from groundwater pumped by the Vernon Community Services and Water Department or by import from the Metropolitan Water District. Compared to the large local industrial users, residential water use is minimal, and no special conservation steps have been deemed necessary for housing. 3.0 HOUSING CONSTRAINTS 3.1 Governmental Constraints Historically, housing growth has been virtually nonexistent in Vernon due to City policy that has discouraged, and in 2007 precluded, the development of any new residential units. City policy-makers have for decades determined that the pervasive industrial environment and land use incompatibilities related to hazardous materials storage and processing, background contamination, noxious odors, noise pollution, and truck and railroad traffic make Vernon an inappropriate location for new housing. However, as part of the City’s good governance reform initiative, City leaders have agreed to establish a way to allow for a very limited amount of new housing at a location or locations that would not result in significant land use conflicts, would minimize exposure of housing residents to adverse .. .. Item 2 Page 101 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 19 environmental conditions, and would provide access to stores, schools, parks, and other amenities that residents would need. The City has made a commitment to amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow for the future development of a limited number of new residential units via a Housing Overlay zone, to be applied to two or fewer parcels. Zoning Ordinance Vernon comprehensively updated its Zoning Ordinance in 2007. The Ordinance did not include any development processes or standards to allow for residential projects, nor did the City have permit processing fees, site improvement requirements, impact fee requirements, or procedures for new residential development. With establishment of the Housing Overlay zone, new permitting procedures and development standards for targeted new residential development are now available. Given the unique conditions in the City and the fact that the sites to which the overlay will be applied are owned by the City, the City permitting process consists of a Develo pment Agreement. In addition, the Housing Overlay zone allows transitional and supportive housing subject to the same permitting processes as other housing in the Housing Overlay zone without any special regulatory requirements. A Development Agreement is considered the most appropriate way to permit housing in Vernon given the unique characteristics of this industrial city. A Development Agreement provides a high degree of flexibility in defining the development standards for a housing project. Through a Development Agreement, the City can work with prospective housing developers to craft the provisions that will apply to site planning, provision of parking and open space, height limits, etc. Because the General Plan allows up to 30 units per acre, a prospective developer can propose innovative approaches to multifamily housing. Rather than establish concrete development standards, Section 26.4.5-5 of the Zoning Ordinance sets forth performance standards for residential development as follows: .. .. Item 2 Page 102 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 20 “Sec. 26.4.5-5 Findings. After a public hearing, the City Council shall approve a proposed residential development and related Development Agreement only after first making all of the following findings: a) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed residential will be compatible with the existing land uses in the vicinity; b) The proposed density is consistent with density standards and all applicable policies contained in the General Plan; c) The site and site plan are physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities, including but not limited to (fire protection, police protection, potable water, schools, sewerage, solid waste collection and disposal, storm drainage, and wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal; d) On-site traffic circulation for pedestrians and vehicles is designed into the development to allow residents to move easily through the development and to avoid pedestrian/vehicular conflicts and further, to ensure appropriate access for fire and police response and surveillance equal to or better than what would normally be created by compliance with the Site Planning Standards of Section 26.4.1-7; e) The proposed project provides suitable, usable common and/or private open space that will meet the passive and/or active recreation needs of the resident. Common open space areas and setbacks are provided with landscaping and other improvements suitable for the development proposed; f) The proposed project provides adequate parking to meet the residents’ needs and to avoid parking impacts on surrounding properties; g) Refuse/recycling collection areas are located to provide easy access to for all residents and collection vehicles, and to minimize noise impacts on residents; .. .. Item 2 Page 103 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 21 h) To the extent feasible, the project design incorporates sustainable development features.” Given the flexibility of these standards and the need to address unique conditions in Vernon, the requirement for a Development Agreement is not considered a constraint. In fact, in response to a request for proposals for housing development on the site on 52nd Street, the City received five submittals and selected the one which can achieve objectives for providing affordable housing. Renovation, Restoration, Maintenance, and Repair The City will continue to permit the renovation, restoration, maintenance, and repair of existing residential uses. Residential rehabilitation projects are permitted in Vernon, and the rehabilitation is a “Minor Alteration or Repair,” as defined in the Zoning Ordinance (less than 50 percent of the fair market value of the buildings on the lot).3 As a practical matter, the expansive definition of “Minor Alteration or Repair” and lack of development standards result in limited governmental constraints (other than complying with the building code) that would prevent a homeowner from upgrading or improving a residence within the existing square footage. If the hard costs of improvements equal or exceed, over a three- year period, 50 percent of the then-current fair market value of the building, then the improvement, if voluntary, will be defined as a “Major Alteration or Repair” and terminate the legal nonconforming status of the residence. A Major Alteration or Repair is considered to be the functional equivalent of a tear-down and re-build, which the City does not permit, for the same reasons that it does not permit new construction of residences. However, if the Major Alteration or Repair is necessitated by a natural disaster, such as an earthquake or fire, the owner does have the right to rebuild the residence. At that time, the development standards for the home would be developed. The City did not undertake to 3 A minor alteration is that for which the hard costs charged, incurred, or paid for such renovation, alteration, or repair, over a three year period, commencing when the permit required is issued, or if no permit is required, when the physical portion of the renovation, alteration, or repair is commenced, is less than 50 percent of the current fair market value of all of the buildings located on the same lot. .. .. Item 2 Page 104 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 22 develop those criteria at this time since there are only five private residences in Vernon. The Major Alteration provision does not constrain the maintenance of the existing housing stock, as property owners are permitted to undertake a broad array of improvements that extend the life of residential structures and improve unit conditions. Under State law, any and all such improvements can be pursued consistent with Health & Safety Code Section 17922(d) and Section 17958.8 relating to the alteration and repair of existing buildings. Section 17922(d) relates to the standards adopted by the State, which the Zoning Ordinance in no way invalidates. This section discusses the use of original materials and methods for the repair, replacement, or extension as long as it meets Building Code standards. The Zoning Ordinance has no provisions or limitations on the construction materials utilized. Section 17958.8 is similar, as it is addresses the use of original construction materials and methods. Nothing in the Zoning Ordinance or Building Code prohibits the use of original materials and methods, with the exception of an unreinforced masonry structure, which would have to be seismically retrofitted. As no residential units in Vernon are constructed of unreinforced masonry, this does not affect any housing units. All residential units in the City are in good condition, with no units requiring a major alteration during the planning period. Of those units owned by the City, the City intends to renovate seven units due to age, although all are currently in good, habitable condition. These seven units have had new HVAC systems installed in recent years. No residential property owners have proposed major renovations to their properties. Residential property owners participated in the recent Zoning Ordinance revision process, and none expressed opposition to the standards that apply to existing, nonconforming residential structures in the City, including the prohibitions on increasing square footage and undertaking major alterations. All residences – whether owned by the City or others – are in good condition, according to City staff. As described above, residential rehabilitation that constitutes a minor alteration (costing, over a three year period, less than 50 percent of the market value of the building) is permitted. Because minor alterations are permitted and existing standards will allow renovations of these units, the limit on major alterations is not considered an impact to the .. .. Item 2 Page 105 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 23 maintenance and improvement of the City’s housing stock. As discussed later in this section, to accommodate housing needs of the disabled, the Zoning Ordinance has be revised to remove restrictions on major alterations as needed through the implementation of reasonable accommodation procedures. It is the City’s intent to encourage and actively participate in the rehabilitation of existing residential units. The process is straightforward and not burdensome; there is no entitlement process required for rehabilitation projects. Residential rehabilitation projects that are Minor Alterations or Repairs and do not exceed the existing square footage require only a building permit. The building permit process timeframe depends on the complexity of the renovation. Complex renovations involving new electrical systems, plumbing, etc. can take up to three weeks to process. The City has no intention of removing any of the 31 units in the City, as all units are in good condition. Replacement of housing units that have been demolished or destroyed due to force majeure (defined as an event that is not within the control of the owner of the property, including, without limitation, earthquake, flood, fire, and acts of war or terrorism) are permitted. A building permit would be required, and a housing unit would be permitted to be rebuilt up to the existing building square footage. The development standards for the reconstructed dwelling would be determined at that time. Building Code Amendments The City has adopted the California Building Code with some minor local amendments related primarily to industrial buildings in the City. Per Health and Safety Code Sections 17958.5 and 17958.7, the City made required findings and filed such findings with the California Building Standards Commission. The amendments include administrative processes such as the establishment of City permit fees and appeals boards, as well as requirements specific to hazardous and industrial uses such as fire access roads, spray booths, and storage of explosive and flammable materials. Vernon has also made additional amendments to protect the safety of workers and residents within the City. Specifically, the City requires all wiring to be in a metallic conduit, to protect workers and residents from hazards of accidentally driving a nail or screw through wiring. There is a marginal cost increase associated .. .. Item 2 Page 106 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 24 with this precaution, but the benefit associated with safer installation outweighs the cost. The City has also made amendments to require Class A and B roofing material, which is more fire resistive and can stop the potential spread of fire. While this type of roofing material may be more expensive than some standard materials, this amendment is necessary to prevent and quickly extinguish fires that may have far more costly impacts. As such, no restrictions or amendments have been adopted in the Building Code that would constrain housing in the City. Permit and Infrastructure Fees The City assesses various fees to cover the costs of permit processing (Table H-6). Most of the fees charged are flat fees based on the cost of services, or tiered fees based on the size and cost of the improvement. Fees charged are comparable to surrounding communities in Los Angeles County, and as such, do not pose a constraint to housing maintenance and preservation. Owners intending to renovate or improve existing residential units are required to obtain a building permit for a minor alteration. The fee, which is reviewed annually, is based on the cost of the improvement. Because future residential development will occur on no more than two parcels on properties owned by the City, no special fees will be required for processing development applications. The vehicle for approving projects will be through a Development Agreement with the City. Because the development will occur on existing lots well served by streets, water lines, sewer lines, and all other urban- level infrastructure, no off-site improvements will be required to allow housing development to proceed. .. ..

Enforcement of building code standards does not constrain the improvement of housing in Vernon but instead serves to maintain or improve the condition of the limited, existing housing stock. Of the 31 units in the City, only five are not owned by the City. City staff has investigated and determined that none of these .. .. Item 2 Page 108 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 26 five units requires significant rehabilitation. At this time, an active code enforcement program is unwarranted due to the limited number of privately owned units (five) and the fact all units are currently in good condition and continue to be well maintained by the owners. The City encourages active maintenance of the housing stock, as evidenced by the extensive rehabilitation the City has undertaken on those housing units that it owns. Community Services Staff is active in the community, and will respond to any visible code enforcement violations or complaints that may require rehabilitation of units. Property owners are permitted and encouraged to perform proper upkeep and maintenance, which can include renovations, as long as the existing square footage is not exceeded and the cost of the renovation, over a three-year period, does not exceed 50 percent of the market value of buildings on the lot. For all practical purposes, all other controls, permit processes, and fees do not constrain the maintenance and preservation of the City’s housing stock. Constraints to Housing for Persons with Disabilities The City has adopted the California Building Standards Code. Standards within the Code of the City of Vernon (through the adoption of the California Building Standards Code) include provisions to ensure accessibility for persons with disabilities. These standards are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act. No local amendments that would constrain accessibility or increase the cost of housing for persons with disabilities have been adopted, except that the Zoning Ordinance would not permit the floor area of the residence to be increased or permit any major alterations that equal or exceed 50 percent of the current fair market value of the buildings on the lot. These restrictions have been addressed the implementation of a reasonable accommodation procedures to accommodate housing needs of the disabled (discussed below). Definition of Family Sometimes, a city’s definition of “family” can limit access to housing for persons with disabilities when the word is narrowly defined. This can illegally limit the use of housing as group homes for persons with disabilities, but not limit housing for families. The Vernon Zoning Ordinance does not define family, and therefore is nondiscriminatory in its application. .. .. Item 2 Page 109 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 27 Reasonable Accommodation The Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, requires that cities and counties provide reasonable accommodation to rules, policies, practices, and procedures where such accommodation may be necessary to afford individuals with disabilities equal housing opportunities. While fair housing laws intend that all people have equal access to housing, the law also recognizes that people with disabilities may need extra tools to a chieve equality. Reasonable accommodation is one of the tools intended to further housing opportunities for people with disabilities. Reasonable accommodation provides a means of requesting from the local government flexibility in the application of land use and zoning and building regulations or, in some instances, even a waiver of certain restrictions or requirements because it is necessary to achieve equal access to housing. Cities and counties are required to consider requests for accommodations related to housing for people with disabilities, and to provide the accommodation when it is determined to be “reasonable” based on fair housing laws and the case law interpreting the statutes. State law allows for a statutorily based four-part analysis to be used in evaluating requests for reasonable accommodation related to land use and zoning matters and can be incorporated into a reasonable accommodation ordinance or procedures. This analysis gives great weight to furthering the housing needs of people with disabilities and also considers the impact or effect of providing the requested accommodation on the City and its overall zoning scheme. Developers and providers of housing for people with disabilities must be ready to address each element of the following four-part analysis:  The housing that is the subject of the request for reasonable accommodation is for people with disabilities as defined in federal or state fair housing laws;  The reasonable accommodation requested is necessary to make specific housing available to people with disabilities who are protected under fair housing laws;  The requested accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the local government; and .. .. Item 2 Page 110 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 28  The requested accommodation will not result in a fundamental alteration in the local zoning ordinance. The City abides by the Fair Housing Act, and has instituted a clearly defined process for making requests for reasonable accommodation to provide exceptions in zoning, land-use, permitting processes, and building codes. The City has developed reasonable accommodation procedures in its Zoning Ordinance and will provide information on the procedures on the City’s website (Housing Element Program 4). The State has removed any City discretion for review of small group homes for persons with disabilities (six or fewer residents). The City does not impose additional zoning, building code, or permitting procedures other than those allowed by State law. The City does not impose special permit procedures or requirements that could impede the retrofitting of homes for accessibility. A retrofit would be permitted as a minor alteration (requiring a building permit), as long as the cost of the retrofit was less than 50 percent of the market value of the buildings. The City’s requirements for building permits are standard, straightforward, and not burdensome. No CUP or other special permitting requirements are required for retrofitting homes for accessibility. The City’s adopted reasonable accommodation procedures are ministerial and include, but not be limited to, identifying who may request a reasonable accommodation (i.e., persons with disabilities, family-members, landlords, etc.), timeframes for decision-making, and provision for relief from the various land- use, zoning, or building regulations that may constrain the housing for persons of disabilities. The procedure also includes consideration of allowing an increase in habitable floor area of an existing residence to accommodate disabled persons. The City will also explore the feasibility of offering fee reductions for permit processes that involve retrofitting residences for accessibility purposes. .. .. Item 2 Page 111 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 29 3.2 Non-governmental Constraints to Housing In Vernon, limited land is available which would be suitable for the development of housing. The Housing Element inventory of vacant and underutilized sites identifies two potential sites for residential development. The limited sites available for residential development are due to serious environmental conditions which render the majority of sites throughout Vernon unsuitable for residential development. Environmental factors affecting potential residential development are related to hazardous materials storage and processing, background contamination, noxious odors, noise pollution, and truck and railroad traffic generated by the City’s pervasive industrial land uses. Inadequate access to residential services is an additional constraint to residential development in the City. These factors contribute to the limited number of sites available for residential development. Market Constraints Government Code Section 65583(a)(5) requires communities to include an analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, and the cost of construction. Based upon information regarding the Vernon commercial and industrial market, recent (2012) sales for large developed industrial sites have been priced at approximately $96 per square foot, depending on location, soil condition, and necessary demolition costs.4 Effective land costs, which also include remediation required to make old industrial sites developable for residential use, make the cost of land significantly higher. Land costs for vacant sites have been priced at approximately $1.4 million per acre of land ($31 per square foot of vacant land). 5 Additional costs that would also have to be incurred to make land suitable for residential development include testing for ground contamination, remediation for residential development, and providing minimum safety and nuisance improvements.

Item 2 Page 112 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 30 additional costs might be feasible if the sites were otherwise suitable for residential development, the environmental problems from surrounding uses are so severe that both private market and assisted housing development is precluded on any site in the City. Because the majority of the City’s housing stock is owned and managed by the City, maintenance and improvements are overseen and funded by the City. As such, there are no market constraints on the maintenance of housing in the City. The City actively performs maintenance and repairs on all City-owned buildings. Hazardous Materials With its history as an industrial City dating to incorporation in 1903, heavy and prolonged industrial use in Vernon is reflected in the following conditions (refer to Figure H-2):  A high concentration of both underground (38 facilities with 82 underground storage tanks) and above-ground hazardous material storage tanks throughout the City. There are also 20 leaking underground storage tanks clean-up sites. Within the City, approximately 570 businesses handle/store hazardous materials. Thirty-eight of these businesses handle high levels of extremely dangerous materials regulated by the State.  Numerous underground pipelines throughout the City, many carrying potentially explosive materials .. ..

Item 2 Page 114 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 32  Residual soil contamination resulting from prior manufacturing activities on the sites and from previously abandoned chemical waste, open disposal pits, aeration ponds, landfills or petroleum related activities (a high lead content in the soil is common). Six sites in Vernon are on the EPA Superfund List, but none of them are on the National Priority List.  Approximately 130 miles of railroad track historically treated with herbicides for weed control. Rights -of way show patterns of contamination from spilling, overfilling, or transfer of chemicals.  Four California EPA-permitted hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities  Ten closed landfill sites Overfilling storage tanks, leaking pipes, and leaking tanks have resulted in residual soil contamination in Vernon. Sixteen sites have been declared Proposition 65 sites (determined by laboratory tests to have excessive carcinogenic or teratogenic chemical contamination). Remediation plans are required to decontaminate the soil. Due to high background and other petroleum contamination and lack of feasible clean-up options, several sites were remediated with covenants being recorded to advise future purchasers of the presence of contamination. Due to public health concerns, these sites would be unsuitable for future sensitive land uses such as housing. A significant potential for chemical spills or accidents exists due to the high concentration of underground storage tanks in Vernon. The City’s Underground Tank Program has resulted in the removal of over 1,000 tanks. Additionally, where structures were threatened by tank removal, numerous underground tanks were abandoned in place. Another component of hazardous materials control in Vernon is the “right to know” program. All businesses in the City are required to submit inventories of all hazardous materials used or stored. The City currently has 571 businesses that handle or store hazardous materials. Class C businesses with very high maximum daily volumes (2,001 to 1,000,000 pounds) are the most prevalent, and are located throughout the City. The risk .. .. Item 2 Page 115 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element of upset from businesses handling such high volumes of chemicals, many of which are toxic, is a factor that must be considered in land use planning. If high levels of certain highly toxic chemicals are present in a business’ hazardous materials inventory, these businesses are further regulated through the California Accidental Release Prevention Program (CALARP). Such businesses are required to provide the City’s Environmental Health Department with a CALARP report detailing how they plan to prevent the release of such chemicals, as well as presenting a plan for clean -up and notification if there were an accidental release. Such regulated chemicals include ammonia and chlorine gas and could impact a large geographic area if released. As illustrated in Fig ure H-2, Vernon currently has 38 businesses regulated under CALARP. The locations of businesses throughout the community with underground storage tanks and/or use or storage of chemical materials indicate that the entire City is subject to chemical spills or accidents, thereby illustrating its inappropriateness for future residential development. In summary, Vernon’s prolonged history as an industrial City has resulted in significant background contamination. Industries that store or use hazardous materials are pervasive throughout the City. Noxious Odors Numerous industries that generate noxious odors operate in Vernon, including several focused on the slaughtering and rendering of animals. Overlay districts have been designated in the City’s General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to isolate the locations of offensive industrial uses responsible for excessive noxious odors. These overlay districts include a “Slaughtering Overlay” for uses which involve the slaughtering of animals, and a “Rendering Overlay” for the location of rendering facilities. These uses generate significant adverse effects related to odor and release of toxic materials, making residential land uses highly incompatible within their vicinity. Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance will include new standards to address odor control in the Rendering and Slaughtering Overlay Districts. Housing Element - 33 .. .. Item 2 Page 116 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 34 Noise As could be expected in a highly industrial city, properties in Vernon are exposed to high levels of noise emanating from stationary industrial activity, as well as from trucks, automobiles, and railroad operations. Numerous companies operate equipment such as large presses and pumps which produce excessive vibrations and generate noise well beyond the level of acceptability for noise-sensitive land uses within the vicinity. Arterial roadways in Vernon have a very high proportion of truck traffic (approximately 30 percent), thereby intensifying noise levels along the City’s roadways. In addition, four main railroad lines and a number of switching operations are located in the City, and these generate significant levels of noise day and night. Figure H-3, derived from the Noise Element, presents noise contours developed for Vernon in 2007 as part of the upda te to the General Plan. The Zoning Ordinance establishes a one -hour standard of 65 dB(A) between 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. within 0.10 mile of a school or residence, and a 60 dB(A) standard between 10:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. within 0.10 mile of a school or residence. As evidenced by the contour map, most properties in Vernon are exposed to noise levels of 65 CNEL6 or greater, and therefore are normally incompatible with sensitive land uses. The noise contours are based on roadway traffic and do not account for stationary noise sources. The probability is that areas mapped as being outside the 65 dB CNEL may in fact experience excessive noise levels from intermittent or other sources. Truck and Railroad Traffic Vernon is traversed by approximately 130 miles of railroad tracks, with approximately 96 at-grade and seven grade- separated railroad crossings. As previously mentioned, truck traffic is extremely heavy, comprising nearly one -third of all traffic in the City. These conditions not only contribute to excessive noise levels, but also create safety hazards for pedestrians, particularly a problem for the elderly, persons with disabilities, and families with children. 6 Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is a noise measure that accounts for increased human sensitivity to noise at night. .. ..

Some spur tracks have been eliminated, but have been replaced by truck transportation. Also, the rail lines are being considered as routes for future transit rail traffic connecting Orange County to downtown Los Angeles’ Union Station. Figure H-4 indicates the principal transportation elements that contribute to noise and pollution in the City of Vernon: the Long Beach Freeway, arterial roadways, collector streets and mainline railroads. Residential Service Adequacy Residential development requires the provision of services to meet the needs of the resident population. Services provided at the municipal level include education, recreation, and local retail goods and services. While few such residential services are situated within Vernon, they are generally located within close enough proximity to adequately serve currently existing residences in the City via car or public transportation. However, access to these residential services is along roadways with high levels of track traffic, railroad crossings, and loading activities. These conditions make pedestrian access to residential service facilities difficult and unsafe, particularly for children. However, areas that border the residential neighborhoods of the adjacent city of Maywood are in close proximity to community services, including schools, parks, and local shopping. Summary of Constraints to Residential Development Environmental degradation related to hazardous materials and background contamination, noxious odors, noise pollution and truck and railroad traffic present land use conflicts for future residential development in the City. In addition, the lack of adequate, safe access to residential services acts to constrain housing opportunities in Vernon. Although extensive industrial development throughout Vernon has resulted in environmental conditions that limit new housing sites, one or two areas along the City’s southern boundary could potentially accommodate a very limited amount of new residential development to meet the City’s good governance commitment to the State legislature. .. ..

Item 2 Page 120 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021 Housing Element - 38 4.0 HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES As described in Section 3.0, due to inherent incompatibilities between residential uses and the City’s heavy industrial environment, future residential development is for the most part not desirable or recommended anywhere in Vernon. The City’s policy over many decades has been to discourage development of any new housing units. However, given the City’s commitment to the State legislature to expand the voter base, sites must be identified where 30 to 50 new units could be built in Vernon, provided that impacts associated with pervasive industrial operations and extensive site contamination can be wholly addressed, and further provided that housing sites provide new residents with suitable access to schools, open space, and shopping. Proposed sites for new residential housing would be preferred along Vernon’s boundaries, near residential neighborhoods in the adjacent cities of Maywood and Huntington Park. These areas are less impacted from Vernon industrial uses and trucking traffic, but also have good access to services and amenities that support established residential neighborhoods in these adjacent cities. To assess the current potential for residential development in Vernon as required under Housing Element statutes, staff has identified both vacant properties and underutilized buildings, defined as dilapidated and/or unreinforced masonry structures suitable for demolition. City staff conducted a field survey of vacant and underutilized properties throughout the entire City. Although some of these sites are located throughout the City, staff subsequently narrowed the potential sites down to areas in the City that are in close proximity to community services and amenities. Potential sites within the Commercial Overlay District were also dismissed due to the potential impacts to residential uses being close to industrial uses. In addition, a key consideration was to ensure that any new residential development would not impede the ability of existing or future adjacent industrial properties to attract a broad range of industrial users, consistent with the City’s mission. To permit housing at the potential sites identified, the City is amending the Land Use Element to establish a Housing Overlay, where residential uses are permitted at a density of up .. ..

A similar approach is being used in the Zoning Ordinance to correspond to the General Plan designation. In the Zoning Ordinance, the Housing (-H) overlay district will allow housing development with approval of a Development Agreement. This approach is being used given Vernon’s unique character as an industrial city. The Development Agreement will provide for maximum flexibility for development standards while ensuring appropriate features are incorporated into a project to address surrounding industrial businesses in Vernon. The Zoning Ordinance provisions for the Housing overlay district include that all Development Agreements, at a minimum address those standards outlined on pages 20 and 21 of this element. Potential Residential Housing Sites Two vacant sites and underutilized properties were considered to have some limited potential for residential development, and one site was identified as having the potential to accommodate emergency housing. These sites are described in Table H-7. The following discussion evaluates these sites in terms of environmental safety and residential service adequacy.

Cal SDM, Inc., a custom metal fabrication shop and steam boiler company, is located to the northeast, across from the railroad tracks. Site B Site B is a half-acre site located in the southwestern portion of Vernon, near the intersection of District Boulevard, Fruitland Avenue, and Cudahy Avenue. The site is bounded by 52nd Street to the south, Fruitland Avenue to the north, and Cudahy Avenue to the east. The property shares three of its property boundaries with the City of Maywood. The site includes a dilapidated warehouse structure built in the 1930s that occupies nearly 50 percent of the site. The remaining site includes an asphalt area overgrown with weeds. Site B is surrounded by Pacific Coast Chemical (in Vernon) to the north, a parking area (in Maywood) to the west, residential uses (in Maywood) to the south, a union assembly hall (in Maywood) to the east, and Maywood Elementary School (in Maywood) to the southeast. Potential Emergency Shelter Sites Site C Site C is a 1.6-acre site located on the southeast corner of Alameda Street and 25th Street, immediately east of the Alameda Corridor. The site is primarily vacant and includes the remains of a building foundation. The site is bounded by produce distributors to the south, a pallet storage business to the southeast, a warehouse building to the east, and the Alameda Corridor to the west and north. Environmental Safety Environmental conditions in Vernon are generally incompatible with residential uses. However, the sites chosen for potential residential development and emergency shelters are located along the City’s periphery. The land uses surrounding the sites listed in Table H-9 include vacant lots, residential uses, a chemical distributor, an upholstery supply warehouse, an assembly hall, and an elementary school. All of the sites are exposed to truck traffic due to their locations near Alameda Street, Atlantic Boulevard, and District Boulevard. Site B is located near the intersection of 52nd Street and District Boulevard, which are both Collectors. Site C is .. .. Item 2 Page 123 of 399 Vernon General Plan 2014-2021 Housing Element Housing Element - 41 located at the intersection at Alameda Street, an Arterial, and 25th Street, a Collector. Site C is located along the Alameda Corridor, which includes a below-ground, triple-tracked rail line. The Noise Contour Map (Figure H-3) shows that 2007 noise levels exceed 70 CNEL all along the Alameda Corridor and I- 710 freeway, indicating residential uses are normally incompatible and should be discouraged. This would primarily affect the Site C, a potential location for emergency shelters. Site A and B are exposed to noise levels below 70 CNEL. Noxious odors are primarily related to numerous industries in Vernon involved in the slaughtering and rendering of animals, geographically concentrated within the General Plan Slaughtering and Rendering Overlay Districts east of Soto Street. All of the potential housing sites (Sites A, B, and C) are located more than one-half mile from these districts, and will not likely be subjected to the odor impacts, depending on prevailing wind conditions. City records indicate that all three potential housing and emergency shelter sites are exposed to levels of hazardous materials from underground tanks, soil contamination, and chemicals used for operations in the adjacent area. With approximately 570 businesses currently using or storing hazardous materials, over 80 underground storage tanks, and four hazardous waste treatment facilities, the presence of hazardous materials and hazardous waste is evident throughout the City. A total of 37 businesses utilize regulated substances containing highly toxic materials (CALARP). If an accidental release were to occur at any of these 37 facilities, evacuation would be required for a large geographic area. Table H-8 and Table H-9 describe the locational characteristics of each site and the nearby sources of toxic materials. .. ..

Item 2 Page 126 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 44 Residential Service Adequacy Existing infrastructure in the City—including water, sewer, and all dry utilities—is sufficient to accommodate existing housing in the City, and could accommodate development on the sites discussed in this inventory. However, new residential development in Vernon would also require that the new residents be provided basic residential services. The services provided at the local level include education, recreation, and grocery shopping. The estimated distances to these facilities from each site are presented in Table H-10. The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) has established criteria for appropriate distances between residential uses and services, and provides the basis for evaluating residential service adequacy in Vernon. TCAC’s distance criteria for public elementary, middle and high schools is a maximum of one-half mile from residential development. The nearest elementary school to potential residential Sites A and B sites is Maywood Elementary in Maywood; the nearest middle school is Nimitz Middle School in Huntington Park; and the nearest high school is Maywood Academy High School in Maywood. As indicated in Table H-9, both Sites A and B meet the one-half mile locational criteria for elementary schools. The TCAC has established a maximum one-mile distance criteria within inner city areas for the distance between residential development and a full-scale supermarket where grocery staples, fresh meat, and produce are sold. The closest full service grocery store to the potential residential sites in Vernon is a Food 4 Less, located on Slauson Avenue in Maywood. Review of Table H -9 indicates that both Sites A and B meets are located within one - mile of a Food 4 Less in Maywood. The TCAC’s locational criteria for public parks is a maximum of one-half mile from residential development. The nearest park to Sites A and B is Maywood Park at the intersection of 58th Street and Heliotrope Avenue in the City of Maywood. Adjacent to the park is the Maywood Activity Center, which includes a community center, gym, and indoor basketball court. Site A meets the one-half mile locational criteria for parks facility (Maywood Park). Site B is located approximately one mile away from Maywood Park. .. ..

Both Sites A and B are located across the street from residential uses in the City of Maywood. Both sites are within walking distance to Maywood Elementary School and less than two miles from a junior high school, high school, grocery store, and park and community center. Due to the close proximity to Maywood’s residential neighborhoods, it makes if easier for children and adults to walk to residential services and avoid the truck traffic and railroad crossings typically found in the center of Vernon. Summary of Housing Opportunities Although future residential development is inappropriate in Vernon due to its pervasive industrial character, the shift in policy to allow for an increase in the City’s population to enhance government accountability has led the City to identify two sites for potential housing development and one site for emergency shelters. The potential sites are suited for residential use since they are generally close to schools and groceries stores located in adjacent communities. The number of residential units that would be could be built on these two sites will be able to accommodate the City’s RHNA of two future housing units. The following describes the City’s quantified objectives for the 2014-2021 planning period by income group. Since most of the City-owned residential dwelling units have undergone some rehabilitation since 2007, the City anticipates rehabilitating only seven City-owned residential units. As the remaining seven that were not renovated become vacant, the City will consider rehabilitating these units. (New HVAC systems were installed in these units in recent years.) The five privately owned residential units are considered in good condition and not in need of major repair; therefore, for this planning period, no rehabilitation of dwelling units are planned.

Item 2 Page 129 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 47 5.0 HOUSING PLAN The Housing Plan for the Vernon Housing Element sets forth goals, policies, and implementing programs to address the housing needs particular to the City of Vernon. Prior to presenting the goals, policies, and programs, an evaluation of the programs in the previous Housing Element (2000) is presented as a foundation for developing the Plan for the 2008-2014 Housing Element. 5.1 Evaluation of Previous Accomplishments State law (California Government Code Section 65588(a)) requires each jurisdiction to review its housing element as frequently as appropriate and evaluate:  The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal;  The effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community’s housing goals and objectives; and  The progress in implementation of the housing element. Table H-12 shows the progress the City made in implementing the 2008-2014 Housing Programs. An analysis of the effectiveness and continued appropriateness of these programs is provided, and the goals, policies, and programs from the 2008-2014 Housing Element have been updated to reflect this evaluation. The major focus of housing policy in Vernon is to preserve the existing housing stock in the City and to ensure that existing housing in the City is well maintained. A secondary goal is to identify a site or sites suitable for new housing pursuant to the City’s good governance initiative, and a site that can accommodate emergency shelters pursuant to the requirements of SB2. The Housing Element addresses the health and safety of residents living on or adjacent to industrial sites. The City actively discourages the occupation or construction of dwelling units on or near industrial sites since activities on industrial sites includes operations potentially hazardous to residents. In addition, all units are required to have adequate insulation, air conditioning, approved air and water filtration systems, and sound insulation to .. ..

Policy 1.1 Continue to enforce all relevant building and zoning codes to ensure that all residential units are adequately maintained. Progress: The City's Department of Community Services is responsible for code enforcement activities. Due to the limited number of units in the City, staff can accurately monitor all units and has determined that all are in good repair. Program 1 Maintenance of City-Owned Residences Effectiveness: The City has been effective in maintaining housing conditions in the City, and responds to complaints as needed. By 2008, the City completed fully renovating 19 City-owned dwelling units and added heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and upgraded the insulation in seven other units. Program 2 Code Enforcement Continued Appropriateness: Code enforcement is an important component that ensures that the limited number of units in the City remains in good repair. Progress: The City actively pursues maintenance on City-owned units, providing renovations on vacated units and repairs as needed on occupied units. Policy 1.2 Require any remodeled residential units to be equipped with air conditioning and sound insulation to protect residents from exposure to adverse environmental conditions. Effectiveness: The City successfully completed the renovation of 19 units in 2008. Renovations included adding HVAC systems, and providing insulation for sound protection and energy conservation purposes. Continued Appropriateness: The City owns a majority of residences in Vernon. The City is fully involved with the maintenance and upkeep of the properties, and will continue to provide these services on other units, as they are needed. All remodeled units will be required to provide HVAC systems and sound insulation protection, such as dual paned windows. Policy 1.3 Mitigate any residential displacement impacts occurring as a result of residential demolition. Progress: No residential units were demolished during the last planning period. Effectiveness: The City is committed to maintaining the existing housing units in the City. Continued Appropriateness: The City's primary housing goal is to preserve the existing housing units. The City is committed to mitigating residential displacement impacts, should they occur. Housing Element - 49 .. .. Item 2 Page 133 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Table H-11 Housing Element Accomplishments for 2008-2014 Planning Period Policy/Program Accomplishments Goal H-2: Maintain all existing dwelling units within the City. Policy 2.1 Provide for the retention of existing residential units in the City that are economically and physically sound. Progress: All units in the City were retained during the last planning period. Effectiveness: The 31 residential units in the City have all been determined to be in good condition. Continued Appropriateness: The major focus of housing policy prior to 2012 in Vernon was to preserve the existing housing stock and maintain safe and viable housing units. Policy 2.2 The City will accommodate the needs of disabled residents through establishment of a reasonable accommodation ordinance or procedures for existing units. Progress: As of 2012, there are no assisted housing units in the City. The City did not allow new housing prior to 2012. Effectiveness: While there are no federally or state-assisted units in Vernon, the City owns 26 of the 31 housing units in Vernon. These units are rented at levels that are affordable to very low-income tenants. City policy focuses on retention and maintenance of the 31 existing housing units, with no plans for removal of any units, City- owned or otherwise. Continued Appropriateness: While there is no assisted housing in the City that requires monitoring, the City continued this program in the 2008 Housing Element, discussing assisted housing to address Government Code Section 65583(a)(8). Program 3 Preservation of Assisted Housing Goal H-3: Continue to promote the availability of a range in existing unit types and sizes, and equal housing opportunity in the City’s housing market on the basis of age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background, source of income, and other factors. Policy 3.1 Prohibit discrimination in the availability of existing housing. Progress: The City has not been advised of any discriminatory practices that have occurred in regards to the availability of housing. The City will take a proactive approach in enforcing antidiscrimination laws. Effectiveness: The City has received no complaints regarding any discriminatory actions and will continue to enforce all fair housing law. Continued Appropriateness: Prior to 2012, the City's Zoning Ordinance did not allow the development of new housing in the City. As such, housing discrimination related to the siting of housing was not an issue. This program was updated in 2008 to address a range of fair housing concerns related to the existing housing stock, including access for persons with disabilities or special needs, providing greater access to equal housing opportunity.

POLICY H-3.3: Encourage development of residential uses in strategic proximity to schools, recreational facilities, commercial areas, parks and other public spaces, and transit routes. GOAL H-4: Continue to promote the availability of a range in existing unit types and sizes, and equal housing opportunity in the City’s housing market on the basis of age, race, sex, marital status, ethnic background, source of income, homelessness, physical disabilities, and other factors. POLICY H-4.1: Prohibit discrimination in the availability of existing and new housing. POLICY H-4.2: Address the housing needs of special populations and extremely low-income households through emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and single-room occupancy units. 5.3 Programs As discussed in this Element, the Vernon City Council has adopted several good governance reform measures, including a commitment to at least double the housing stock within the City. Residential development is will be permitted at strategic locations in Vernon. SCAG adopted a future housing need of two units in Vernon as part of the 2014-2021 Regional Housing Needs Assessment, recognizing that although incompatibility of locating housing in such a heavy industrial environment may not be appropriate, there may be certain areas in Vernon where housing may be suitable. As such, programs to increase the City’s housing stock are included below. As indicated in the goals and policies, the primary goals of the Housing Element is to ensure the maintenance of the City’s existing housing stock and to allow for limited new housing opportunities. The following programs will implement these goals. Program 1: Maintenance of City-Owned Residences The City owns 26 of the total 31 housing units in Vernon, all of which are rented. The City is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of these units. As indicated in Section 2.0, Housing Needs Assessment, of this Housing Element, all of the City-owned units .. .. Item 2 Page 136 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 53 were determined to be in good repair. In addition, in recent years the City initiated an extensive project on all City-owned units to ensure the continued longevity of existing units. In 2007, the City renovated 12 units, and an additional 14 units were renovated between 2008 and 2011. Since 2007, all 26 units have undergone renovations. The City will continue to provide maintenance to these units, thus ensuring upkeep for the majority of Vernon’s housing stock. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: Ongoing as needed. Program 2: Code Enforcement Of the five non-City owned units located in Vernon, none was determined by the City to be in need of substantial rehabilitation. Due to the limited number of privately owned units in the City, a code enforcement program would have limited application. However, it is nonetheless imperative that residential units be adequately maintained for health, safety, and aesthetic concerns. Community Services staff is active in the community and will enforce the City’s code to eliminate and prevent unsafe conditions in residential units. Community Services staff responds quickly to code enforcement complaints in Vernon. Community Services staff is active in the community and will actively monitor all residential units in the City to ensure the health and safety of City residents. Staff will respond to reports of code violations within the week that they are reported, and enforce applicable laws to ensure the safety and preservation of all housing units within the City. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: Ongoing Program 3: Preservation of Assisted Housing State law (Chapter 1451, Statutes of 1989) requires the City to identify, analyze and propose programs within the Housing Element to address the potential conversion of all federal, State and locally assisted housing developments eligible to change to non-low-income use during the next ten-year period (2008-2018). Government Code Section 65583(8) defines assisted housing developments as the following: “multi-family rental housing that .. .. Item 2 Page 137 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 54 receives governmental assistance under federal programs listed in subdivision (a) of Section 65863.10, state and local multi-family revenue bond programs, local redevelopment programs, the federal Community Development Block Grant Program, or local in-lieu fees. Assisted housing developments sh all also include multi-family rental units that were developed pursuant to a local inclusionary housing program or used to qualify for a density bonus pursuant to Section 65915-65917.” Vernon has no assisted housing in its jurisdiction, as confirmed by City and State HCD staff, and through review of “Inventory of Federally Subsidized Low-Income Rental Units at Risk of Conversion” (California Housing Partnership Corporation), and the “Use of Housing Revenue Bond Proceeds - 1994” (California Debt Advisory Commission). As a result, there is no housing at risk of losing its subsidized status that must be considered in the Housing Element. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: Ongoing Program 4: Housing Opportunities for Residents with Special Needs The Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, requires that cities and counties provide reasonable accommodation to rules, policies, practices, and procedures where such accommodation may be necessary to afford individuals with disabilities equal housing opportunities. The City has adopted procedures in their Zoning Ordinance for housing for persons with disabilities and will provide information to residents through the City’s website. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: Ongoing Program 5: Priority Water and Sewer Services In accordance with Government Code Section 65589.7, after the Vernon Housing Element is adopted by City Council, a copy will be immediately delivered to all public agencies or private entities that provide water or sewer services to properties within Vernon. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: 2013 .. .. Item 2 Page 138 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 55 Program 6: Provision of Adequate Sites The Land Use Element Housing Overlay policy allows up to 60 residential dwelling units citywide, which is more than adequate to meet RHNA objectives for all income levels (two units). According to the sites inventory capacity analysis, the 2.1-acre housing site (Site A) located at 4675 52nd Drive is estimated to accommodate up to 49 units. The 0.5-acre housing site (Site B) located at 4675 52nd Drive can accommodate up to 12 units. Adequate zoning is in place for Site A, via the Housing Overlay. Site B may be considered as a potential housing site in the future. Together, these two sites can accommodate the total dwelling units identified under the Housing Overlay policy, not to exceed 60 units. As described on pages 37-38, the Housing Overlay allows residential uses with approval of a Development Agreement. This permitting process is applied to all residential applications and is considered necessary given Vernon’s unique industrial character. Through a Development Agreement that City can assure that measures will be in place to create the best possible housing solutions. The Development Agreement must at a minimum ensure that adequate emergency access is provided, that the development includes suitable open space amenities, and parking be provided to meet the anticipated needs of residents. On the two sites where the Housing Overlay applies, Zoning Ordinance regulations will allow for densities of up to 30 units per acre. The overlay exclusively allows for residential uses (no mixed use). Given the size of the largest site, at least 16 units can be constructed, per Section 65583.2(h) and (i) of the Government Code. The Housing Overlay is being adopted in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Element. The site on 52nd Street is to be developed with units all affordable to lower-income households, with the developer seeking Low Income Housing Tax Credit funding. In the event this development project does not move forward, the City will continue to seek a developer who can provide similar housing. While no density bonus has been deemed necessary to incentivize development of affordable housing, the City recognizes that developers can request a density bonus pursuant to State law. Because land use policy will not allow for additional housing development beyond the two sites identified in this element and given that densities are sufficient to encourage affordable housing .. .. Item 2 Page 139 of 399 Vernon General Plan Housing Element Housing Element - 56 projects, the City does not see the need to adopt specific regulations for density bonuses. Thus, the City Zoning Ordinance will be amended simply to reference State law. With regard to housing persons in need of emergency shelter, in conjunction with adoption of the Housing Element the City has adopted Zoning Ordinance to establish an Emergency Housing overlay zone. This zone, applied to a large property in the northwest portion of Vernon, allows emergency shelters by right (see Figure H-5). The property is over five acres in size and can accommodate one or more shelters. Like all other properties in Vernon, the site is surrounded by industrial uses. However, this particular site is easily accessible from transit routes along Santa Fe Avenue and Alameda Street. The site is currently vacant and owned by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Agency. Responsible Agency: Department of Community Services Project Funding: Departmental Budget Timeframe: Development of housing to accommodate the RHNA by 2015; amend Zoning Ordinance by May 2013 to include reference to State law regarding density bonus provisions; immediate availability of Emergency Housing Overlay site for any application for such use. Program 7: Equal Housing Opportunity The Vernon City Clerk’s Department is responsible for referring equal housing opportunity questions. Any questions or concerns raised by residents will be accepted by the City Clerk and brought before City Council for resolution. In order to disseminate information on fair housing resources more broadly, the City will place a link on the City’s website that refers to the Housing Rights Center Frequently Asked Questions webpage on housing discrimination. Also, persons in need of transitional and supportive housing can readily be accommodated within any housing development proposed in the Housing Overlay zone. In conjunction with adoption of this Housing Element, the City has amended the Zoning Ordinance to define transitional and supportive housing as a standard residential uses of property permitted within the Housing Overlay zone. Any proposal for such housing is subject to the same permitting requirements (approval of a Development Agreement to define the site plan and development parameters) as any other type of housing. .. ..

The City of Vernon elected to become the Successor Agency of the former Vernon Redevelopment Agency and established an Oversight Board. As the Successor Agency, the Oversight Board oversees certain fiscal management of former Agency fund. This includes carrying out existing projects that are in various stages of development. The City was not required to set aside 20 percent of the tax increate collected in the Industrial Redevelopment Project Area to be used by the Agency to increase the City’s supply of affordable housing, because it determined that were was no housing need in the City. Therefore, there are no existing housing set-aside funds for the Industrial Redevelopment Project Area. .. ..

Item 2 Page 143 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 1 SAFETY ELEMENT 1.0 PURPOSE AND FOCUS 1.1 Purpose The Safety Element identifies the natural and man -made hazards which affect public safety in the City, and establishes policies the City will pursue to minimize associated risks to life and property. Because these hazards can have significant economic consequences, identifying, understanding, and guarding against these hazards greatly benefits those who own property, work, and live in Vernon. 1.2 Focus Several different types of events could create critical situations affecting public safety in Vernon. Generally, public safety risks can be divided into two categories: environmental events and events arising from human actions. In Vernon, environmental events include earthquakes and flooding. Human-caused hazards such as chemical spills, hazardous materials release, and train, truck or plane accidents have greater potential to cause upset in Vernon given its industrial .. .. Item 2 Page 144 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 2 Vernon Fire Station #3 nature. Increasingly in all cities in the nation, the threat of terrorist activity represents a new public safety concern requiring special treatment. This Element addresses each of these potential safety risks and discusses how the City will respond to each. Also addressed are evacuation routes necessary to move people away from hazardous conditions. 2.0 IDENTIFYING AND GUARDING AGAINST HAZARDS Four natural hazards of particular importance that could affect Vernon are identified in the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. Earthquakes represent a significant threat, with the associated strong ground shaking and possibility of liquefaction in some areas. Flooding is a concern as well, with Los Angeles River as the major source. Unusual rainfall amounts may also cause flooding if storm drain facilities are inadequate to accommodate the resulting high volume of runoff. Inundation from dam failure is a remote possibility but must nevertheless be addressed. The fourth natural hazard is a significant windstorm event. Southern California is occasionally raked by moderate to severe wind events called “Santa Ana winds” that blow hot, dry air into the Los Angeles Basin from the desert. These winds tend to be most severe downwind of mountain passes, but can affect the urban flatlands as well. Wind speeds of up to 65 miles per hour are not uncommon, and local gusts may substantially exceed these speeds. .. .. Item 2 Page 145 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 3 Since Vernon and its surrounding areas are completely urbanized, with little natural vegetation, there is almost no risk of damage from wildfires. Urban fire protection is discussed in Section 2.2 of this Element. Human-caused hazards include the risk of explosion or leaks from stored chemical and petroleum products, or from derailment or collision of railcars or trucks carrying hazardous chemical or materials. Chemical spills are also a concern because of the industrial nature of the uses in Vernon. Fire hazards are prevalent due to the nature of the industrial uses and intensely developed character of properties. A fire during a windstorm, which combines both a natural and a human - caused hazard, can represent a serious threat to public safety. Some events are particularly difficult to anticipate and prepare a programmed response for. Since the 9/11 attack on New York’s World Trade Center, the threat of terrorist activity has been of major concern to the nation and the world. As with both natural and human-caused hazards, a terrorist event could occur outside Vernon yet directly impact the City. Programs to deal with such an event require a cooperative approach with regional agencies. Activities such as a labor strike or other demonstration usually present a low risk to public safety, but public safety personnel must plan for responses to these situations to maintain public order. Railcars carrying materials through Vernon .. .. Item 2 Page 146 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 4 The City’s Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP) discusses and contains programs and plans for emergency responses to the safety concerns described above. This document includes pre- emergency preparedness plans and programs for mutual aid between organizations for virtually any emergency situation. 2.1 Natural Hazards Seismic Event Southern California is one of the most seismically active regions of the United States, given its location at the edge of the Pacific Plate. Although no major faults have been identified by Alquist-Priolo statewide mapping efforts as crossing through Vernon, the many fault systems that traverse Los Angeles County and the broader region, along with unmapped blind thrusts, have the potential to cause damage in the City in the event of an earthquake. Figure S-1 identifies regional fault systems, including major faults within 20 miles of the City. Severe ground shaking can cause damage to buildings with corresponding threats of injury or loss of life. Figure S-1: Regional Faults .. .. Item 2 Page 147 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 5 A secondary effect of ground shaking is soil liquefaction, which can result in building instability or failure. This is not considered a serious threat in Vernon, but some areas of the City could be affected (see Figure S-2). Liquefaction can occur when loose, unconsolidated, water-laden soils lose their structure during strong ground shaking. These hazards can be mitigated at the development stage through the removal and re-compaction of suspect soils. Vernon’s standard practice of requiring engineering studies for new development projects reduces the risk of liquefaction hazards in those susceptible areas identified on Figure S-2. Figure S-2: Liquefaction Zone In addition to damage to buildings, earthquakes often result in damage to public and private infrastructure. Ruptured gas or oil lines may result in explosions or leaks, and facilities storing chemicals or flammable materials may also be damaged causing leaks or explosion. Water lines, sewer lines, and reservoirs can also be damaged. Electrical facilities, particularly transformer and power lines, are susceptible to damage resulting in a possible injury or loss of life as well as a power loss. To reduce the scope of damage in the event of an earthquake, Vernon will continue to require new construction to meet mandated seismic safety codes. Retrofit of older structures will continue pursuant to Municipal Code requirements, and .. .. Item 2 Page 148 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 6 the City will continue ongoing efforts to upgrade infrastructure pursuant to the Capital Improvement Plan. In addition, the programs the City has in place to guard against hazardous materials spills and releases also help to protect these materials from being released during ground-shaking hazards. Through both preventative measures and strong, organized emergency response, Vernon will continue to take steps to minimize risks associated with earthquakes. Flooding Although the Los Angeles River flows through Vernon for a distance longer than three miles and would frequently overflow its banks under historic natural conditions, the river was contained within a concrete-lined flood control channel early in the twentieth century, substantially reducing the potential for overflowing of the river banks or overtopping of the dams that could cause flooding of adjacent areas. In the rainy season of 2004-2005, the Los Angeles area received the second highest rainfall ever recorded, approximately three times the normal amount, yet the river channel proved adequate to accommodate this flow. In the past, localized flooding has occurred during heavy rainstorms. However, storm drain improvements have substantially reduced this problem. Los Angeles River Flood hazards related to storm events generally are described in terms of a 100-year or 500-year flood. A 100-year flood is defined as a major flood event that has a one percent or greater chance of occurring during any one year. Flood hazard planning practices address such storms, as well as 500-year events. These floods are considered severe; however, these floods can be reasonably predicted and therefore reasonably mitigated. With the flood control system of the Los Angeles River in place, the Federal Emergency Management Agency does not identify any 100-year floodplain areas in the City of Vernon. FEMA maps identify a small portion of southeast Vernon within the 500-year flood zone (Figure S-3). The existing flood control system appears to be adequate to serve the City’s needs. .. .. Item 2 Page 149 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 7 Figure S-3: FEMA Flood Hazard Zones Dam Inundation Dam inundation occurs when structural damage to a dam results in a flood. Dam failure can occur due to an earthquake, erosion, design flaw, or water overflow during storms. Dam inundation maps represent the best estimate of where water would flow in if a dam with a full reservoir suddenly failed completely. Figure S-4 shows areas that would be affected in the event of dam failure. Nearly all of the land in Vernon lies within the potential inundation areas for both Hansen Dam and Sepulveda Dam, which are located in separate areas of the San Fernando Valley, more than 20 miles northwest of the City. In the unlikely event that a catastrophic earthquake causes the collapse of either of these dams, water and debris would flow to and then generally along the Los Angeles River in a fairly narrow stream before spreading out over a swath of the coastal plain several miles wide, including Vernon. The official map from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicts that the flow from Sepulveda Dam, 24 miles away from Vernon, would take more than eight hours to reach the City. Flow from Hansen Dam, also 24 miles away, is predicted to take more than 19 hours to reach Vernon. The flow from either dam would probably peak at a depth of 2 feet in the .. .. Item 2 Page 150 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 8 vicinity of Vernon. The expected long delay between dam breach and the arrival of the flow should give ample time for emergency services to respond, as outlined in the City’s SEMS Multi-Hazard Functional Plan (MHFP). Figure S-4: Dam Inundation Areas Windstorms Windstorms present a potential hazard through their ability to damage buildings and public facilities such as street traffic control lights and public signs. In addition to the damage to buildings, the most significant threat to public safety is from flying debris. While this problem is not usually as severe as that experienced in hurricanes or tornados, maintaining public awareness of the hazard is important. Regionally, the hot, dry Santa Ana winds can create severe brushfire dangers, but this is not a particularly severe problem in Vernon, as there is little vegetation. .. .. Item 2 Page 151 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 9 2.2 Human-caused Hazards Risk of Explosion and Hazardous Materials Spills Many varied materials of an explosive or hazardous nature are stored and used by many businesses in Vernon. Because of the industrial nature of the City, the geographic scope is citywide. In addition, the presence of major rail lines and transfer yards, together with the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) and Alameda Corridor, which carry high volumes of truck and train traffic to and from the ports, pose real threats in the event of a spill. To address local storage issues, the City Environmental Health Department maintains a complete inventory of the locations where hazardous materials are stored and used. A detailed response program defines the actions to be taken by the Fire Department and Environmental Health Department in the event of a problem involving a spill or explosion. This program focuses on the evacuation of persons, as well as containment and cleanup. With regard to terrorism concerns, possible targets in Vernon include the major rail yards, power generation facilities, and any business with significant volumes of hazardous materials. Federal agencies are responsible for safe-guarding transportation facilities, and Vernon will cooperate with these agencies in these efforts. With regard to protection of local businesses, routine patrol activities of the Police Department and heightened training and vigilance are undertaken in order to address these concerns. The City will provide Police personnel with appropriate training to minimize such threats. Hazardous Materials Emergency Response operate the Spartan Super Vac Hazardous Materials Unit .. .. Item 2 Page 152 of 399 Vernon General Plan Safety Element Safety Element - 10 Fire Department The Vernon Fire Department is rated as Class I by Insurance Services Office, Inc., one of only ten cities in California and 35 nationwide to earn this distinction. The Department provides a variety of emergency services, including fire protection, emergency medical services, urban search and rescue, and hazardous materials control. Staff at each of Vernon’s four fire stations is fully trained for fighting fires. Each station is equipped with three to six response vehicles, but also has its own specialization. Fire Station 1 at 3375 Fruitland Avenue serves both as Fire Department headquarters and training center. The personnel at Fire Station 2, rebuilt in 2007 at 4301 Santa Fe Avenue, adjacent to City Hall, are all trained as hazardous materials specialists. Paramedics trained in advanced life support at Fire Station 3, at 2800 Soto Street, respond to all emergency situations, and this station is also home to a squad trained in all manners of urban search and rescue techniques. Despite being in a completely urbanized area, Fire Station 4 sends specialized personnel to respond to wildfires through the statewide mutual aid system. 3.0 GOALS AND POLICIES Vernon has fewer than 200 permanent residents, but the employment population approaches 45,000 during a typical 24- hour period. Police, fire, and paramedic facilities and personnel must be adequate to provide services to this larger community of workers. Public safety personnel must be prepared to handle potential emergency situations of all kinds: hazardous materials spills, explosions, earthquakes, and train accidents. Additionally, as an industrial city, Vernon must be prepared for the possibility of labor issues such as strikes disrupting the City and requiring responses from public safety personnel.

Item 2 Page 158 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 1 RESOURCES ELEMENT 1.0 PURPOSE AND FOCUS 1.1 Purpose As a fully developed city, Vernon has few remaining natural resources in the conventional sense of undeveloped land, native vegetation, and wildlife habitat. The two natural resources that are present and important are groundwater and the air. Both have been affected by urban development, but both sustain development in the City and respresent critical regional resources. Vernon’s groundwater serves as a portion of the City’s water supply. Clean air, of course, provides a healthier environment and may help minimize some aspects of global warming. The open spaces that exist in Vernon are limited to privately owned landscaping around buildings, utility easements, rail yards, and the Los Angeles River. Given the industrial nature of Vernon, expanses of open space are not needed for recreational purposes. However, open space does provide visual relief from hard urban surfaces. .. .. Item 2 Page 159 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 2 This Element establishes City policies intended to best manage the limited available natural resources in Vernon and to encourage continued participation in broader efforts to protect the environment from harmful human activities. 1.2 Focus This Resources Element combines two elements required by the California Government Code–the Conservation Element and the Open Space Element–and focuses on the protection and preservation of resources within the City. In addition to groundwater and air resources, additional resource issues addressed are local open space, historic/cultural resources, and the national issue of energy use. 2.0 IDENTIFYING AND PROTECTING LOCAL RESOURCES 2.1 Water Quality and Supply Potable water resources in Vernon are limited to the groundwater basins that underlie the City (and surrounding lands) and recycled water. Local groundwater is contained within the Los Angeles River and Gaspar aquifers, which supply a significant portion of the water used by businesses in Vernon. Because these basins extend beneath surrounding jurisdictions, activities both in Vernon and other cities affect the quantity and quality of groundwater. Potential contamination and depletion of the underground basins have been historic concerns, and conditions are continuously monitored to guard against possible interruption of supply. Water quality standards established by federal and State agencies and requirements for water quality monitoring protect industrial users from contamination and ensure sage drinking water supplies. In particular, National Pollution Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) requirements enforced by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board require the control and clean up of surface runoff prior to its discharge into storm drain systems and ultimately, into groundwater basins or surface waters. State agencies continue to press for percolation as a means of reclaiming stormwater runoff, both as a mechanism to replenish aquifers and to allow for continued natural cleaning processes. Given Vernon’s built-out condition and the severe lack of open space, clean-up and recharge via percolation proves difficult. .. .. Item 2 Page 160 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 3 As described in the Circulation and Infrastructure Element, three water agencies supply water within Vernon (see Figure CI-3). Most of the geographical are of Vernon is supplied by the City’s Water Department. The California Water Service Company (Cal Water), East Los Angeles District, Commerce System serves some of the northeast portion of Vernon, and a small portion of southeast Vernon is serviced by Maywood Mutual Water Company Number 3. Many of the food processing and other industries common in Vernon are water-intensive uses. Analysis of water resources for the City of Vernon Water Department, including supply sources, is contained in the 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (which is periodically updated). In 2005, water use in Vernon’s service area was approximately 12,000 acre-feet per year (AFY).1 By 2010, water use had decreased to approximately 9,000 AFY. Of that, approximately 84 percent of the water supply was obtained from groundwater sources. Less than eight percent was purchased from the Central Basin Municipal Water District (CBMWD), and slightly more than eight percent came from recycled water supplies. As reported in the City’s 2010 Urban Water Management Plan , water demand in 2025 is projected to increase to approximately 13,800 AFY (which assumed construction of a new power plant). As stated in the plan, Vernon’s infrastructure is designed to meet a high level of demand from the commercial and industrial sectors; associated water demand may shift over time depending on current businesses and industrial practices. By planning for this high level of demand, sufficient flexibility is provided over the long term to maintain the City’s business plan. Water conservation programs are in place, and internal water recycling by specific businesses helps reduce overall demand. Because Vernon is built out, new businesses will simply replace those that exist today, and water consumption over time normally would not be expected to increase significantly. By 2035, water supply is anticipated to increase substantially (by approximately 145 percent) due largely to the increase in supply from recycled water sources. The number of acre-feet produced from the City Water Department’s wells is not 1 An acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons, or about the amount of water a family of four consumes in a year. .. .. Item 2 Page 161 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 4 expected to substantially increase, and the amount purchased from CBMWD is expected to approximately double. By 2035, Vernon’s water supply profile is projected to be 37 percent from groundwater, 10 percent from CBMWD, and 53 percent from recycled sources. The majority of any new demand will be served throught the use of recycled water, indicating the City’s commitment to conservation of its water resources, good water management practices, and sustainability of resources. Parts of northeastern Vernon are within California Water Service Company’s (Cal Water’s) District. Since the area is completely urbanized, annual growth is very slow; since 1980 the amount of water used in the service area has never increased by more than 0.5 percent from year to year. Only 30 of Maywood Mutual Water Company #3’s 2,000 service connections are in the City of Vernon; the rest are in the Cities of Maywood and Bell. In 2006, Vernon’s connections totaled 34.5 acre-feet of water usage. Early in 2007 a new Matheson Tri-Gas plant opened in this area, which had been projected to add 150 annual acre-feet of usage, but has instead shown to only use water commensurate with a 30 acre- feet per year increase in water usage. Maywood Mutual #3 currently derives all of its water supplies from its own groundwater wells. Its three wells are capable of producing approximately 4,500 acre-feet per year, and have historically produced between 1,400 and 1,750 acre-feet per year. Agreements are in place with the Metropolitan Water District that would allow Maywood Mutual #3 to purchase 2,500 acre-feet of water per year if necessary, for a total possible supply of 7,000 acre-feet per year. This would be more than four times the current usage within Maywood Mutual #3’s service area. Maywood Mutual #3 reports that groundwater production is adequate for current and any foreseen future demand. 2.2 Air Quality The quality of the air in Southern California is determined by many regional factors: prevailing winds, persistent inversion conditions, the commute habits of 10 million-plus people within the air basin, and the presence of major ports and industry. Vernon lies within the South Coast Air Basin, a geographic area that extends from the Pacific Ocean to the San Gabriel Mountains, and from the Ventura County boundary .. .. Item 2 Page 162 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 5 east to the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains. The air basin is a non-attainment area for federal and State air quality standards for ozone, particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10), particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5), and lead. The basin is a non-attainment area for State standards with regard to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulates air quality improvement programs within the basin and works to improve regional air quality to achieve federal and State standards. At the local level, emissions from stationary sources (industry, power plants, etc.) and from vehicles discharge chemicals and particulate matter into the air, and these emissions are further transformed in the atmosphere by photochemical action into ozone and other health-threatening pollutants. As heavy industry is prevalent in Vernon, most local businesses are heavily regulated by SCAQMD. Emissions from trucks, cars, and trains are regulated by State and federal agencies, meaning the Vernon City Council and City staff have little ability to affect those factors that most significantly contribute to regional air quality conditions. However, the City recognizes its responsibility to participate in regional efforts to continue to improve air quality. City programs in this regard include City purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles and fuel-efficient vehicles. In 2006, about 3.5 percent of the vehicles owned by the City used alternative fuels. As the City replaces its fleet of vehicles, consideration and priority will be given to the purchase of more vehicles using hybrid or electric engines or other emerging technologies that replace fossil fuels. Because motor vehicles represent a significant source of pollutant emissions, one key approach to reducing emissions is to reduce vehicle miles traveled. In 2006, businesses in Vernon employed 44,225 workers locally. Many employers have large workforces, offering opportunities for carpooling and other ride-sharing arrangements. Also, many Metro bus lines serve the City, and Blue Line light rail has stops that readily serve Vernon businesses (provided one is willing to walk or take bus connections from the train stations). The City is in a position to encourage transit use and ride sharing by serving as an information hub and clearinghouse for local businesses. Reducing the volume of cars on local streets can help reduce regional emissions and allow Vernon to contribute to regional air quality improvements. .. .. Item 2 Page 163 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 6 2.3 Global Warming In 2006, the California Legislature adopted AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, to address concerns regarding the potential impact of climate change on the State’s economy and the environment. The legislation requires the California Air Resources Board to determine the level of greenhouse gases produced in 1990 and outline strategies to ensure that the level of emissions in 2020 do not exceed the 1990 level. The overall goal is to establish a comprehensive program of regulatory and market mechanisms to achieve real, quantifiable, cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, AB 32 (as codified in the California Health and Safety Code) requires the California Air Resources Board to:  Establish a statewide greenhouse gas emissions cap for 2020, based on 1990 emissions  Adopt mandatory reporting rules for significant sources of greenhouse gases  Adopt a plan indicating how emission reductions will be achieved from significant greenhouse gas sources via regulations, market mechanisms, and other actions  Adopt regulations to achieve the maximum technologically feasible and cost-effective reductions in greenhouse gas, including provisions for using both market mechanisms and alternative compliance mechanisms SB 375, passed into law in 2008, has the goal of fostering development patterns—and more compact patterns in particular—that reduce the need to drive, thereby reducing air pollution from car exhaust, conserving water, and protecting habitat, among other benefits. This law is designed to align regional land use, housing, and transportation plans with greenhouse gas reduction targets. In Vernon, emissions are regulated by the Southern California Air Quality District, as well as State and federal agencies. The agencies have imposed regulations to reduce emissions from both stationary and vehicular sources. These actions have led to a substantial improvement in air quality in the Southern California air basin and presumably have had a concurrent effect on greenhouse gas emissions. Further reductions are .. .. Item 2 Page 164 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 7 anticipated as new requirements are imposed by current legislation and regulations. The City of Vernon is a built out city, and the General Plan does not provide for any substantive increase in either square footage in industrial development or substantive increases in employment (see Table LU-1 in the Land Use Element). Future residential development is limited pursuant to the Land Use Element. This limited residential development will provide a new housing opportunity for local workers to live near places of employment in Vernon, furthering SB 375 goals. Given the limited changes anticipated as part of this General Plan, the issue of increased emissions resulting from growth is not a significant concern. 2.4 Energy Supplies Industrial businesses in Vernon require reliable energy supplies for industrial processes and refrigeration. In 1932, the citizens of Vernon supported a bond measure that authorized the City to construct a power plant. This enabled the City to build its own electric power generating plant—to meet the needs of this “exclusively industrial city”. Since then, the City has been able to provide reliable and comparatively low-cost electric power to its customers. In 2005, the City completed construction of the Malburg Generating Station, a new natural-gas-powered power plant that provides electricity to many businesses in Vernon. The City recognizes that energy conservation benefits consumers in the form of lower energy costs. Conservation also reduces the need for construction of costly new energy production facilities. Finally, conservation helps efforts to improve regional air quality by reducing pollutant emissions from older power generation plants in Southern California. Vernon. The City is committed to working with local businesses to help them be energy efficient and help keep rates low. 2.5 Open Space The major open space resources in Vernon consist of the Los Angeles River Channel and utility easements. No riparian habitat exists, as the Los Angeles River channel is concrete lined along this portion of the river. Given the City’s industrial character, Vernon does not contain and does not have a need for public parks. Private open spaces on industrial properties .. .. Item 2 Page 165 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 8 are limited as well, as most buildings are built to the sidewalk line, leaving limited area for on-site landscaping. Over time, requirements for site-specific runoff control may result in property owners devoting portions of setback or parking areas to green space. Additional green space may also be added through the middle of Vernon if plans progress for the “re-greening” of the Los Angeles River. The Los Angeles River Master Plan, adopted by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in 1996, calls for a greenway along the bank, a trail and murals along the west levee, an interpretive exhibit near the Bandini Avenue crossing, and a passive park area near Atlantic Avenue. As of 2007, no funding source or preliminary plan for creation of additional open space within the City of Vernon currently exists. 2.6 Cultural Resources In 1847, the Mexican militia fought U.S. troops under the command of U.S. Army General Stephen Watts Kearny and U.S. Navy Captain Robert F. Stockton along the San Gabriel River. The battle of La Mesa, in present-day Vernon, occurred on January 9, 1847 and ended with the Mexicans overwhelmed by a strong American advance. On January 10, Mexican leaders surrendered peacefully to the Americans, who promptly occupied the city of Los Angeles. Between 1847 and the early years of the twentieth century, the lands that now comprise Vernon were dedicated largely to agriculture, with John B. Leonis representing one of the key ranchers/landholders in the area. Vernon incorporated in 1905 as an “exclusively industrial” city and was named after a dirt road, Vernon Avenue, crossing its center. In the following years, many diverse industries established major facilities in the City, taking advantage of the rail access and, with the construction in 1932 of a City -owned power plant, low-cost electricity. The industrial buildings that house these diverse industries well serve their industrial functions, but also display architecture representative of distinct periods and styles. The busy building period of the 1920s and ‘30s produced several Streamline Moderne structures, and wonderful brick buildings can be found throughout the City. A notable landmark is the Farmer John mural surrounding the company’s meat processing facility on Vernon Avenue. .. .. Item 2 Page 166 of 399 Vernon General Plan Resources Element Resources Element - 9 Vernon will assist in the effort to preserve the memory of early Los Angeles, and tell the story of its growth and development, through taking and retaining photographs of buildings and structures that may have architectural or historic interest. 3.0 GOALS AND POLICIES GOAL R-1 Conserve and protect the region's water and energy resources.

Item 2 Page 171 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 1 NOISE ELEMENT 1.0 PURPOSE AND FOCUS 1.1 Purpose The purpose of the Noise Element is to identify significant sources of noise in Vernon and to identify ways to protect people living and working in Vernon from extensive exposure to excessive or unhealthy noise levels. Per the California Administrative Code, all general plans must include a Noise Element. The Noise Element sets the framework for working toward and maintaining environmental noise control appropriate to individual communities. The Element establishes goals, policies, and programs that identify possible approaches to protecting the business community and the few people living in Vernon from excessive noise. 1.2 Focus In recognition of the adverse health effects associated with excessive noise, the California Government Code, Section 65302(f), identifies the types of community noise to be addressed in the General Plan. The Noise Element is to identify noise sources from:  Freeways and street systems;  Freight on-line railroad operations; .. .. Item 2 Page 172 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 2  Local industrial plants, including, but not limited to, railroad classification yards; and  Other stationary ground noise sources identified by local agencies as contributing to the community noise environment. Vernon is unique in that its status as an all-industrial community establishes different sensitivities regarding noise than those present in typical suburban or even mixed-use urban areas. Local businesses are not significantly impacted by higher noise levels that would not be appropriate in a residential neighborhood or near schools, parks, or hospitals. 2.0 ABOUT NOISE Noise is often defined as unwanted, excessive, or irksome sound. Sound – and noise – consists of waves of energy that we receive and interpret. To describe the character of a particular noise, acousticians must have information about:  The amplitude and amplitude variation of the acoustical wave,  The frequency (pitch) content of the noise, and  The duration of the noise. 2.1 Noise Metrics Definitions of the most commonly used terms encountered in community noise assessments and noise control are provided in the General Plan Glossary. Of these terms, the A-weighted sound pressure level, or dB(A), is the scale of measurement that is most useful in community noise measurement. This sound level is measured in decibels to provide a scale with the range and characteristics most consistent with that of peoples' sensitivity to sounds, as described below. Since decibels are logarithmic units, sound pressure levels cannot be added or subtracted by ordinary arithmetic means. For example, if one automobile produces a sound pressure level of 70 dB when it passes an observer, two cars passing simultaneously would not produce 140 dB. In fact, they would combine to produce 73 dB. This same principle can be applied to other traffic quantities as well. In other words, doubling the traffic volume on a street or the speed of the traffic will increase the traffic noise level by 3 dB. Conversely, halving the .. .. Item 2 Page 173 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 3 traffic volume or speed will reduce the traffic noise level by 3 dB. Sound pressure level alone is not a reliable indicator of loudness. The frequency or pitch of a sound also has a substantial effect on how humans will respond. While the intensity of the sound is a purely physical quantity, the loudness or human response depends on the characteristics of the human ear. Human hearing is limited not only to the range of audible frequencies, but also in the way it perceives the sound pressure level in that range. In general, the healthy human ear is most sensitive to sounds between 1,000 hertz (Hz) and 5,000 Hz, and perceives both higher and lower frequency sounds of the same magnitude with less intensity. To approximate the frequency response of the human ear, a series of sound pressure level adjustments is usually applied to the sound measured by a sound level meter. The adjustments, or weighting network, are frequency dependent. The A-scale approximates the frequency response of the average young ear when listening to most ordinary everyday sounds. When people make relative judgments of the loudness or annoyance of a sound, their judgments correlate well with the A-scale sound levels of those sounds. A range of noise levels associated with common indoor and outdoor activities is shown in Figure N-1. .. .. Item 2 Page 174 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 4 Figure N-1: Examples of Noise Levels The A-weighted sound level of traffic and other long-term noise-producing activities within and around a community varies considerably with time. Measurements of this varying noise level are accomplished by recording values of the A- weighted level during representative periods within a specified portion of the day. It is recognized that a given level of noise may be more or less tolerable depending on the duration of exposure experienced by an individual. There are numerous measures of noise .. .. Item 2 Page 175 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 5 exposure that consider not only the A- level variation of noise but also the duration of the disturbance. The State Department of Aeronautics and the California Commission on Housing and Community Development have adopted the community noise equivalent level (CNEL). This measure weights the average noise levels for the evening hours (7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.), increasing them by 5 dB, and weights the late evening and morning hour noise levels (10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M.) by 10 dB. The daytime noise levels are combined with these weighted levels and are averaged to obtain a CNEL value. Figure N-2 indicates the outdoor CNEL at typical locations throughout the Southern California area. Figure N-2: Examples of Noise at Southern California Locations 2.2 Noise and Health Effects Sound levels which exceed 85 dB(A), when experienced for long durations during each working day, may result in severe temporary or even permanent hearing loss. State and federal safety and health regulations currently protect workers at levels of exposure that exceed 90 dB(A) for each eight-hour workday. Speech intelligibility is impaired when sound levels exceed 60 dB(A). The level of interference increases with sound level and the distance between speaker and listener. Sound levels that exceed 40 to 45 dB(A) are generally considered to be excessive for sleeping areas within a residence. 2.3 Community Noise Standards Vernon has established community noise standards to help guide land use decisions and protect sensitive uses from excessive noise levels, as shown in Figure N-3. Because the City consists almost exclusively of industrial uses and policy set forth in the Housing Element limits the construction of any new housing to only a few specifically identified sites in recognition of the hazards – including high noise levels – associated with widespread industrial activity, these .. .. Item 2 Page 176 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 6 standards discourage any new noise-sensitive use that would be incompatible with the City’s industrial focus. Similarly, zoning regulations prohibit community facilities such as schools, day care centers, and hospitals. Figure N-3: Community Noise Standards .. .. Item 2 Page 177 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 7 3.0 NOISE ENVIRONMENT IN 2007 In 2007, the City conducted a comprehensive noise survey of the community to document the noise environment. Measurements were taken at eleven locations, including two border locations in adjacent communities. Three measurements consisted of 24-hour recordings of the sound environment, and the balance were limited duration measurements at representative locations throughout Vernon and, as noted above, on the border of neighboring communities. In conjunction with an update to the Land Use and Housing Elements in 2013, focused noise measurements were taken near locations considered for permanent and emergency housing. The most significant noise-producing activity within Vernon involves the transportation systems: the arterial roadways and train movements along regional rail lines. In addition, many major manufacturing businesses create high noise levels. The only noise-sensitive land uses within the City are scattered residential units and the Vernon City Elementary School. Residences largely are clustered in four areas: on Vernon Avenue at Furlong Place, on Vernon Avenue between Downey Road and Alcoa Avenue, on Fruitland Avenue west of Downey Road, and on 52nd Place east of Atlantic Boulevard. The Emergency Shelter Overlay, which applies to a parcel in the northwest corner of the City, could accommodate emergency housing. Vernon City Elementary School is located at the southwest corner of Vernon Avenue and Santa Fe Avenue. The adjacent communities of Huntington Park and Maywood have residential neighborhoods and schools along and near their boundaries with Vernon. Vernon has long practiced good neighbor policies with respect to these uses, cooperating with adjacent cities to minimize noise impacts on sensitive uses. .. .. Item 2 Page 178 of 399 Vernon General Plan Noise Element Noise Element - 8 3.1 2007 CNEL Contours The noise measurements were modeled to create a community- wide “picture” of noise conditions. The CNEL contours for major arterial roadways and the I-710 freeway within the City were developed utilizing the Federal Highway Administration’s Traffic Noise Model and traffic data obtained from Caltrans and citywide traffic count data (2004-2007). The railroad contours were developed based on Wyle Laboratories’ computational procedures and on a computer model developed by the Federal Transit Administration. Operational data for the railroads was obtained from Amtrak and Metrolink schedules, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority, the Alameda Corridor Transit Authority, the Union Pacific Company, and the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis. These noise measurements and modeling results collectively can be represented by noise contour lines. Similar to the way topographic maps show contours indicated elevation change, the noise contour maps indicate decreasing noise levels as you move away from the noise source. Figure N-4 illustrates the noise contours for year 2007. 3.2 Transportation Noise Sources Noise along Arterial Roadways Figure N-4 shows that noise levels associated with truck and automobile traffic along Vernon’s arterial roadways are 70 CNEL along the roadway frontages. With regard to the gradual diminishment of noise as the receiver moves away from the street, the modeling does not take into account the mitigating effect of buildings that front the street. .. ..

Item 2 Page 182 of 399 Noise Element - 10 Freeway Noise The CNEL generated in Vernon by traffic on the I-710 freeway is as high as 80 dB. However, the land uses affected by the traffic noise are largely industrial in nature and are not noise sensitive. Train Noise The City is impacted by noise from train movements on six primary rail lines, numerous spur lines, and activities at the Burlington, Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) rail yard, as well as at the Union Pacific (UPRR) rail yard in the City of Commerce. The CNEL associated with train movements in and through Vernon is as high as 80 dB. However, the land uses affected by the traffic noise are largely industrial in nature and are not noise sensitive. The primary source of annoyance to residents in the vicinity of the UPRR line adjacent to Downey Road is train horn soundings at crossings. 3.3 Industrial Noise Sources In general, industrial noise within the City is not considered excessive because Vernon is a predominantly industrial city with few noise-sensitive properties. However, at the few scattered residences within the City, as well as at the Vernon City Elementary School, noise levels can exceed generally acceptable standards for these noise-sensitive uses. The impact is primarily related to noise generated by loading dock operations, trucks entering and leaving the area, and mechanical equipment located both inside and outside building. Adjacent to the City of Vernon are residential neighborhoods in the cities of Huntington Park and Maywood. Noise measurements taken in 2006 indicated that while average noise levels ranged up to 66.7 dB(A) and noise spikes registered 87.6 dB(A) during daytime hours, the measured CNELs of 61.5 dB in Huntington Park and 64 dB in Maywood were less than the exterior CNEL standard of 70 dB for residential properties in Vernon.

Item 2 Page 185 of 399 4.0 FUTURE NOISE ENVIRONMENT Figure N-5 indicates projected noise contours for year 2030, assuming growth in regional traffic volumes through Vernon and anticipated activity along rail lines, the Alameda Corridor, and the regional rail lines. Land use policy provides for continued industrial use throughout the community, with provision for commercial uses within the Commercial Overlay to meet the needs of the daytime employee population and allow for a broader mix of uses on aging industrial sites. As indicated above, land use policy limits the introduction of any new noise-sensitive uses to specifically identified sites along the edges of the City. Thus, the City does not anticipate any new noise conflicts will arise in Vernon over the life of this General Plan. With regard to existing conditions where established residences and Vernon City Elementary School sometimes experience high noise levels, the City works with surrounding businesses to achieve noise standards established in the Zoning Ordinance. 5.0 GOALS AND POLICIES As an industrial city, the aim of the Noise Element is to address compatibility among neighboring businesses and industries, and to work with adjacent communities to resolve any conflicts that may be associated with individual businesses along Vernon’s municipal boundary. GOAL N-1 Reduce impacts from transportation noise sources to the extent they may affect industrial businesses. POLICY N-1.1: Encourage the effective enforcement of local, state, and federal noise levels by all appropriate City divisions. POLICY N-1.2: Review noise impacts when rail corridors are consolidated, and review ways to reduce impacts on adjacent businesses. POLICY N-1.3: Minimize adverse noise effects on new residential developments through carefully planned site design and construction approaches that limit noise intrusion, wherever practical. .. ..

Item 2 Page 195 of 399 Vernon General Plan Implementation Plan Implementation Plan A- 1 Appendix A: Implementation Plan This Implementation Plan guides City elected officials and staff in the overall effort to carry out adopted General Plan goals and policies. The purpose of the implementation programs is to enable the overall direction set forth in the General Plan to be translated from general terms to specific actions. Each implementation program is a procedure, program, or technique that requires City action, either alone or in collaboration with non-governmental or quasi-governmental organizations or state and federal agencies. Some of the implementation programs are processes or procedures the City currently administers on a day-to-day basis (such as development project review), while others identify new programs or projects. Completion of the identified programs will be subject to funding constraints. The implementation programs are organized into the following six subsections corresponding to the General Plan elements:  Land Use Element  Circulation and Infrastructure Element  Housing Element  Safety Element  Natural Resources Element  Noise Element Each implementation program relates directly to one or more General Plan policies, drawn from the various General Plan elements. For each program, the related General Plan policies are listed, along with the responsible City departments or other governmental agencies, the recommended time frame, and likely funding source or sources. The implementation programs are intended for use as the basis for preparing the Annual Report to the City Council on the status of the City’s progress in implementing the General Plan, as described in Section 65400 of the Government Code. Because many of the individual actions and programs act as mitigation for environmental impacts resulting from planned .. ..

Vernon is part of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG). Compatibility: The characteristics of different uses or activities that permit them to be located near each other in harmony and without conflict. The designation of permitted and conditionally permitted uses in zoning districts is intended to achieve compatibility within the district. Consistent: Free from variation or contradiction. Dam inundation: Structural damage to a dam resulting in a flood. Dam failure can occur due to an earthquake, erosion, design flaw, or water overflow during storms. Decibel (dB): A unit measuring the magnitude of a sound, equal to the logarithm of the ratio of the intensity of the sound to the intensity of an arbitrarily chosen standard sound, specifically a sound just barely audible to an unimpaired human ear. For environmental noise from aircraft and other transportation sources, an A-weighted sound level (abbreviated dBA) is normally used. The A-weighting scale adjusts the .. ..

Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, CA 90058 Dear Mr. Wall: NOP Response to Vernon Westside Specific Plan The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts) received a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the subject project on April 25, 2022.The proposed project is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of District No. 23.We offer the following comments regarding sewerage service: 1.The wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge to local sewer lines, which are not maintained by the Districts, for conveyance to either or both the Districts’ Joint Outfall “H” Unit 1G Trunk Sewer, located in Alameda Street, south of Vernon Avenue, or Huntington Park Trunk Sewer, located in the public right-of-way north of Slauson Avenue, east of Malabar Street. The Districts’ 30-inch diameter Joint Outfall “H” Unit 1G Trunk Sewer has a capacity of 17.2 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 7.7 mgd when last measured in 2014. The Districts’ 11.38-inch diameter Huntington Park Trunk Sewer has a capacity of 1.0 mgd and conveyed a peak flow of 0.3 mgd when last measured in 2019. 2.The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant located in the City of Carson, which has a capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 249.8 mgd. 3.In order to estimate the volume of wastewater the project will generate, go to www.lacsd.org,under Services, then Wastewater Program and Permits,select Will Serve Program, and scroll down to click on the Table 1, Loadings for Each Class of Land Use link for a copy of the Districts’ average wastewater generation factors. 4.The Districts are empowered by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee to connect facilities (directly or indirectly) to the Districts’ Sewerage System or to increase the strength or quantity of wastewater discharged from connected facilities.This connection fee is used by the Districts for its capital facilities.Payment of a connection fee may be required before this project is permitted to discharge to the Districts’ Sewerage System.For more information and a copy of the Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to www.lacsd.org, under Services, then Wastewater (Sewage) and select Rates & Fees.In determining the impact to the Sewerage System and applicable connection fees, the Districts will determine the user category (e.g. Condominium, Single Family Home, etc.) that best represents the actual or anticipated use of the parcel(s) or facilities on the parcel(s) in the development.For more specific information regarding the connection fee application procedure and fees, the developer should contact the Districts’ Wastewater Fee Public Counter at (562)908-4288, extension 2727. 1 2 3 Letter 1 .. .. Item 2 Page 234 of 399 Mr. Daniel Wall 2 May 18, 2022 DOC 6574241.D23 5.In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the capacities of the Districts’ wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CAA. All expansions of Districts’ facilities must be sized and service phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available capacity of the Districts’ treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise the developer that the Districts intend to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform the developer of the currently existing capacity and any proposed expansion of the Districts’ facilities. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (562)908-4288, extension 2743,or mandyhuffman@lacsd.org.

The commenter references the previous comments (dated May 18, 2022) submitted during the Notice of Preparation comment period. No further response is required. Response 1-2 The commenter provides a link to estimate the volume of wastewater for future projects. Table 3.12-3, Project Area Existing Wastewater Generation, and Table 3.12-7, Project Wastewater Generation provides calculations of the estimated net change in wastewater generation over the lifetime of the Project. These are programmatic estimates. The role of the Program EIR is to provide the public and decision makers with reasonably foreseeable impacts using the available methodologies and tools. The PEIR provided adequate analysis of the anticipated future wastewater generation using commonly available methods. Further, the comment does not identify the potential for new physical environmental impacts not addressed in the EIR, and no specific response is required. The comment will be included as part of the record and forwarded to the decision-makers for their review and consideration prior to any action being taken on the Project. Response 1-3 The commenter states the Districts should review individual projects to determine whether there is sufficient trunk sewer capacity. As stated in the EIR on page 3.12-33, the future projects within the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant service area would be required to follow the guidance of the County of Los Angeles Sanitation Districts’ Sewer System Management Plan. The precise location and connection would need to be determined at the time development is proposed. Should any new connections or upgrades be required, such upgrades would be subject to subsequent environmental review. .. ..

Flood Hazards, Line 7: "FEMA maps do not identify any 100-year flood hazard areas within the city": The City of Vernon does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and this may be the reason why there are no flood hazards mapped in the City. Contact the Mitigation Division of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region 9, to confirm the status of FEMA-mapped flood hazards in the City. FEMA's maps do not cover all possible flooding scenarios such as localized flooding issues. Many flood insurance claims are for flood damages that occur outside the FEMA 100-year flood zones. For this reason, FEMA and the County recommend residents consider purchasing flood insurance. However, since the City does not participate in the NFIP, its residents are not eligible for flood insurance made available through the NFIP nor are they eligible for most forms of Federal flood disaster assistance. Residents instead would need to contact private carriers to ascertain the availability of flood insurance from them. 2.2. Flood Hazard Zones, Line 1: "The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (Public Works) has incorporated data from the FEMA into an online map for El Niño Storm Hazard Areas": The Public Works El Nino Storm Hazard Areas website, cited in the document, is no longer operable. However, it was based on Public Works' Flood Zone Determination website, which covers only FEMA flood zones in the coastal plains of Los Angeles County.

Item 2 Page 240 of 399 2.0 Comment Letters and Responses Impact Sciences, Inc. 2.0-10 Vernon Westside Zone Change and General Plan Amendment PEIR 1335.003 June 2023 Letter 2 County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Works Mark Pestrella, P.E., Director of Public Works 900 South Fremont Avenue Alhambra, CA 91803-1331 May 23, 2023 Response 2-1 The commenter provides a set of introductory comments. No further response is required. Response 2-2 The comment provides a general request to coordinate with Public Works for any potential overlapping scope, including the following projects: Slauson Station, Metro ATC Rail to River, Slauson Blue Line Station Intersection Improvements, and Randolph Corridor Improvements. The comment will be included as part of the record and forwarded to the decision-makers for their review and consideration. The comment does not raise an issue within the meaning of CEQA and no response is required. Response 2-3 The comment recommends contacting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region 9, regarding the status of the FEMA-mapped flood hazards in the City. As discussed in Section 3.6.1.2, Floodplain Mapping and Hydraulic Modeling, of the DEIR, FEMA maps do not identify any 100-year flood hazard areas within the City. The FEMA Flood Map Service Center and the National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) Viewer indicates that the Project Area incorporates areas from two Flood Maps: 06037C1638G (revised December 21, 2018) and 06037C1805F (revised September 26, 2008). Both maps identify the Project Area as an area of minimal flood hazard (Zone X). Response 2-4 The comment states that the Public Works El Nino Storm Hazard Areas website is no longer operable. However, the website was based on the FEMA flood zones and refers to the previous comment regarding FEMA Flood Maps. Refer to Response 2-3. Response 2-5 The comment states that the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per day should be higher for the City than the Project Area. However, the 2,611 value is for the VMT, not the traffic volume. The VMT calculations were based on the Southern California Association of Governments model and the model’s Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) which offer a regional perspective. Therefore, the model often lacks the ability to capture small areas with a high level of accuracy. As a result, the Project Area effectively compassed all of the TAZs within the City where there are currently residential land uses (households and population). For this reason, the home-based VMT for the Project area is the same as that for the City. .. ..

As provided in Response 2-5, the 1,379 value is for the VMT, not the traffic volume. Refer to Response 2-5. Response 2-7 The comment states that the Future with Project VMT per day should be higher for the City than the Project Area. The 19,315 value is for the VMT, not the traffic volume. Refer to Response 2-5. Response 2-8 The commenter notes that the Future Year 2040 No Project scenario would reduce VMT per service population by 1 percent. See Section 2.2, Corrections and Additions, for this revision made to Section 3.11, Transportation (page 3.11-15). Response 2-9 The commenter notes that the Implementation of the Project would reduce VMT per service population in the Project Area by 3.4 percent and the City by 3.3 percent. See Section 2.2, Corrections and Additions, for this revision made to Section 3.11, Transportation (page 3.11-15). Response 2-10 The commenter notes the word “of” is missing from the title. See Section 2.2, Corrections and Additions, for this revision made to Section 3.12, Utilities and Service Systems and Energy (page 3.12-16). Response 2-11 The commenter provides clarifying language regarding the County’s Integrated Waste Management Plan. See Section 2.2, Corrections and Additions, for this revision made to Section 3.12, Utilities and Service Systems and Energy (page 3.12-16). 2.2 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS As required by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088, this section provides corrections or clarifications of certain statements in the DEIR. The correction(s) and/or addition(s) do not constitute significant new information, as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5, because none would result in new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of any impact already identified in the DEIR. New information is not significant unless the DEIR changes in a way that deprives the public of a .. ..

Specifically, Section 15088.5(a) defines significant new information which requires recirculation to be any of the following: 1. A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented. 2. A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. 3. A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it. 4. The DEIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded. (Mountain Lion Coalition v. Fish and Game Com. (1989) 214 Cal.App.3d 1043). Corrections or information has been added to the DEIR pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15132, as part of the preparation of the Final EIR (FEIR). Additions to the text of the DEIR are shown by underline and deletions from the text of the DEIR are shown by strikethrough unless otherwise described. Where mitigation measures are replaced or revised, the replacement or revised measures are listed under the relevant impact section; however, the revisions also apply to mitigation measures listed in the Executive Summary. As noted above, the following corrections and additions included herein involve minor modifications that clarify or amplify information contained in the DEIR and none would result in new significant impacts from those identified in the DEIR impact analysis or conclusions.

Impact – Noise NOI-1: During case-by-case review of individual projects, the City shall consider the application of the following strategies to reduce construction noise levels to the maximum extent feasible: ● Mufflers. Construction equipment shall be properly maintained and all internal combustion engine driven machinery with intake and exhaust mufflers and engine shrouds, as applicable, shall be in good condition and appropriate for the equipment. During construction, all equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be operated with closed engine doors and shall be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturers’ standards. ● Electrical Power. Electrical power, rather than diesel equipment, shall be used to run compressors and similar power tools and to power any temporary structures, such as construction trailers or caretaker facilities. ● Equipment Staging. All stationary equipment shall be staged as far away from the adjacent sensitive receptors as feasible. ● Equipment Idling. Construction vehicles and equipment shall not be left idling for longer than five minutes when not in use. ● Workers’ Radios. All noise from workers’ radios shall be controlled to a point that they are not audible at sensitive receptors near construction activity. ● Smart Back-up Alarms. Mobile construction equipment shall have smart back-up alarms that automatically adjust the sound level of the alarm in response to ambient noise levels. Alternatively, back-up alarms shall be disabled and replaced with human spotters to ensure safety when mobile construction equipment is moving in the reverse direction. ● Disturbance Coordinator. Project applicants shall designate a disturbance coordinator who shall be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The noise disturbance coordinator shall determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early, bad muffler, etc.) and identify remedies to correct the problem. A telephone number for the disturbance coordinator shall be conspicuously posted at the construction site. Ongoing as projects are proposed City of Vernon, Department of Public Works .. ..

For construction activities located directly adjacent to sensitive receivers (e.g., residences, schools), temporary sound barriers shall be installed and maintained by the construction contractor between the construction site and adjacent receivers during the demolition, site preparation, grading phases, and building phases of construction. Temporary sound barriers shall consist of either sound blankets or other sound barriers/techniques such as acoustic padding or acoustic walls placed near adjacent residential buildings that have been field-tested to reduce noise. Barriers shall be placed such that the line-of-sight between noise- generating construction equipment and adjacent sensitive land uses is blocked and shall be placed as close to the source equipment as feasible. As an alternative, applicants may prepare a Noise Study that demonstrates construction noise would not exceed ambient noise levels at nearby sensitive resources. The Noise Study shall incorporate best management practices and other noise reduction measures to reduce noise levels. Ongoing as projects are proposed City of Vernon, Department of Public Works NOI-3: Prior to any grading or construction activity within 25 feet of an extremely fragile building (non- engineered timber and masonry) or potentially historical resource, applicants shall prepare a Vibration Control Plan. The Vibration Control Plan shall be prepared by a qualified structural engineer and shall include methods to minimize vibration, including but not limited to: ● Use of drilled piles or the use of a sonic vibratory pile driver rather than impact pile driving. ● Use of rubber-tired equipment rather than metal-tracked equipment. ● Avoiding the use of vibrating equipment when allowed by best engineering practices. The Vibration Control Plan shall include a pre-construction survey letter establishing baseline conditions at potentially affected adjacent buildings. The survey letter shall provide a shoring design to protect the adjacent buildings from potential damage. The structural engineer may recommend alternative procedures that produce lower vibration levels, such as sonic pile driving or caisson drilling instead of impact pile driving. Development projects shall implement the structural engineer’s recommendations. A Statement of Compliance signed by the Applicant and Owner is required to be submitted to Building and Safety at plan check and prior to the issuance of any permit. The Vibration Control Plan, prepared as outlined above, shall be documented by a qualified structural engineer, and shall be provided to the City upon request.

Item 2 Page 252 of 399 ORDINANCE NO. 1293 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON ADDING AND AMENDING VARIOUS CHAPTERS IN TITLE 17 - ZONING OF THE VERNON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW MIXED USE INDUSTRIAL ZONING ALONG SANTA FE AVENUE SECTION 1. Recitals. A. The City of Vernon (City) is a municipal corporation and a chartered city of the State of California organized and existing under its charter and the Constitution of the State of California. B. Vernon Municipal Code Title 17 – Zoning (Zoning Code), establishes zoning regulations and provisions in the City and designates, regulates, and restricts various matters of zoning and land use. C. The City Council desires to amend the Zoning Code to allow mixed use industrial zoning along Santa Fe Avenue (Westside Amendments). In the enactment of this title, the City Council has given due and special consideration to the industrial nature of the City, and to the City’s continuing focus on providing a suitable location for industry and the infrastructure and services required to serve industrial activities. The City’s intent is to continue to support the ongoing industrial character of the City, while recognizing the changing industrial environment throughout the United States and globally, and to respond appropriately. The City Council has further seriously considered the impact of the City’s historically industrial environment and resulting land use incompatibilities with certain other uses as a result of, among other issues, the storage, use, transportation, and processing of hazardous materials; background contamination; noxious odors; noise pollution; and truck and railroad traffic throughout the City. D. In preparation for the Westside Amendments, during the past 34 months staff and/or members of the City Council have participated in five items presented to the City Council, seven Stakeholder Committee meetings, and six one-on-one meetings with owners of property within the proposed zoning districts. E. A duly-noticed public hearing has been held to consider the proposed Zoning Code changes, and public testimony has been received and considered. F. By separate resolution, the City Council is amending the General Plan and certifying the Final Program Environmental Impact Report related to the Westside Amendments. .. .. Item 2 Page 253 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 2 of 67 _______________ THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON HEREBY ORDAINS: SECTION 2.

This ordinance was assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council hereby finds that the proposed action is exempt from CEQA review because it is general policy and procedure-making activity that is unrelated to any specific project, which must undergo separate CEQA review, and that will not result in direct physical changes or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines (California Code Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.), the City of Vernon prepared the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the Westside Amendments to the General Plan and for the Westside Amendments to Title 17 of the Vernon Municipal Code, as set forth and certified in a separate resolution amending the General Plan. SECTION 4. Section 17.04.020 is amended to read as follows: 17.04.020 Purpose and intent. The purpose of this title is to consolidate and coordinate all existing zoning regulations and provisions into one comprehensive zoning plan that designates, regulates, and restricts the use, location, and size of buildings, ancillary structures, and land for industrial uses and other permitted purposes and that establishes performance and development standards in order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. To achieve these purposes, this title establishes zones within the City and various overlay zones of such number, shape, and area as have been deemed best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for the administration and enforcement of said regulations. It is declared that in the enactment of this title, the City Council has given due and special consideration to the industrial nature of the City, and to the City’s continuing focus on providing a suitable location for industry and the infrastructure and services required to serve industrial activities. The City’s intent is to continue to support the ongoing industrial character of the City, while recognizing the changing industrial environment throughout the United States and globally, and to respond appropriately. The City Council has further seriously considered the impact of the City’s historically industrial environment and resulting land use incompatibilities with certain other uses as a result of, among other issues, the storage, use, transportation, and processing of hazardous materials; background contamination; noxious odors; noise pollution; and truck and railroad traffic throughout the City.

A. Purpose. The Westside of Vernon’s legacy commercial and industrial buildings are important assets which not only represent important adaptive reuse opportunities in themselves, but give character and identity to the area as a whole. As such, the retention of these legacy buildings as new development occurs is highly encouraged. The incentives in this Chapter are intended to offer property owners who elect to preserve legacy buildings with additional development capacity and flexibility in order to mitigate any economic impacts occasioned by the preservation of a building. B. Criteria. Structures which meet the following three criteria shall qualify as legacy structures: 1. constructed between 1880 and 1950 2. located within the mixed-use zoning districts; and 3. at least 10,000 square feet in gross floor area. C. Incentives. A property owner who elects to retain character-defining features of a legacy structure shall be eligible to obtain development standard incentives as described in Table 17.53.040(A) and the entirety of this Chapter. An application for any of these incentives shall demonstrate that the applicant will preserve or enhance character-defining features of the building. The determination of incentives made available through the preservation of character-defining features shall be made through the Design Review process, as described in Chapter 17.86. The entire building need not be preserved. D. Non-Historic Significance. It should be noted that the “legacy structure” classification described here is not the same as a determination of historic significance as defined by State law. At the time of adoption, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a historic resources study prior to demolition of any structure that is over 45 years old. .. .. Item 2 Page 295 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 44 of 67 _______________ 17.53.020 Encouraged Uses – Purpose and Criteria. A. Purpose. The City of Vernon seeks to incentivize projects which combine multiple “Encouraged” uses to foment innovation through the creative collision of different users and diversify the long-term fiscal position of the City. B. Encouraged Use Criteria. Any project within the mixed-use districts which meets the following criteria is eligible to receive incentives: 1. For projects under 50,000 square feet gross floor area, at least 5% of the gross floor area in two or more Encouraged uses 2. For projects over 50,000 square feet gross floor area, at least 5% of the gross floor area in three or more Encouraged uses. The list of encouraged uses is given by district in sections 17.23.020, 17.24.020, 17.25.020 and 17.26.030. 17.53.030 Available Legacy Structure Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives. A. Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives. The Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives table (Table 17.53.030(A)) lists potential relaxations/incentives to development standards given in Chapters 17.23, 17.24, 17.25, and 17.26 apply to a project which meets the criteria of Section 17.53.010(B) and 17.53.020(A). Figures 17.53.030(B), 17.53.030(C) and 17.53.030(D) illustrate an example application of height and active use frontage incentives, as well as affordable housing incentives per Section 17.53.050. B. Determination. Through the Design Review process given in Chapter 17.86, the Public Works Director will determine which incentives are appropriate to be granted in relationship to the extent of preservation of legacy structures and/or inclusion of Encouraged uses.

A. Available Incentives. The following incentives are available to legacy structure preservation projects only through the Design Review process: 1. On-street parking stalls along Santa Fe Avenue or Pacific Boulevard (streets where it does not exist today) that are located less than a five-minute walk (1/4 mile) from the main entrance to the development may be counted toward nonresidential parking requirements. 2. Tandem parking is permitted, subject to approval of management conditions by the Public Works Director. B. Preserving Entire Footprint of Legacy Building. Projects which wish to preserve the entire footprint of a legacy building and cannot accommodate parking needs even with the incentives provided above may request an exception (Section 17.12.030) or variance (Chapter 17.68). C. Additional Flexibility Provisions. Preservation projects may also apply flexibility provisions, such as shared parking, off-site parking, and use of vertical stackers. See Chapter 17.57 for detailed standards. .. .. Item 2 Page 299 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 48 of 67 _______________ 17.53.050 Affordable Housing Incentives. A. Affordable Housing. Density bonuses, waivers and concessions are available to developers who provide on-site affordable housing or donate land for the purposes of housing per Chapter 17.92. Within mixed-use district areas which do not explicitly calculate the permitted density, applicants may calculate the “density bonus” granted by Chapter 17.92 in one of two ways: 1. Any project which is at least 50% residential by gross floor area may increase the height limit as of right, in Table 17.53.060(A): Table 17.53.060(A) Height Density Bonus Maximum Height, first 50 feet of frontage Maximum Height, other 5% VLI, 10% LI or 20% MI1 None +1 story / 12 feet 12% VLI, 20% LI or 35% MI1 +2 stories / 24 feet 1. VLI = Very Low Income, LI = Low Income, MI = Moderate Income as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5 2. The applicant may submit a density study to establish the base density upon which the bonus shall be applied. A density study is a set of schematic plans that include a building massing, building section and floor plans that complies with all relevant zoning and building code standards. Residential unit size and mix and non- residential uses on-site shall be the same as in the proposed project. Section 14.

Item 2 Page 300 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 49 of 67 _______________ 17.54.010 Purpose. A. The City has a vested interest in ensuring that all development is compatible with the industrial nature of the City and the pedestrian-friendly, hybrid industrial nature of its mixed-use districts. In addition to the mandatory standards of this Title, the City implements Design Review (Chapter 17.86) to ensure that development achieves these aims. The standards and guidelines of this Chapter are a resource for Design Review. As described in Section 17.86.020(B), Design Review will evaluate strict compliance with mandatory standards in this Chapter. Design Review will also evaluate substantial compliance with guidelines in this Chapter which are expressed with non-mandatory language, determining which guidelines are applicable to a particular project. B. Applicability. These design standards and guidelines shall apply to all projects within Mixed Use zones which are subject to Design Review as described in Chapter 17.86 17.54.020 Building Orientation and Relationship to Context. A. Orientation and Context. All buildings within mixed-use districts should be oriented and designed to promote pedestrian activity, comfort and safety. At the same time, buildings which include residential or live/work uses should be designed to minimize conflicts between these uses and on-site or neighboring uses which cause noise, odors, vibrations or contaminants. Implementation of this principle, and adherence to the standards below, is important to protect not only residents, but also neighboring businesses in Vernon, so that they can continue activities unimpeded over the long term. 17.54.030 Site Planning. A. Location and Uses. Commercial uses, lobbies and other public-facing uses should be located on the primary street, with a direct entry from the sidewalk. For corner properties, these uses should prioritize access and orientation to Santa Fe Avenue, or in the MU-PH district, Hampton Street and Pacific Boulevard. Residential uses should principally be located above or behind the primary street ground floor frontage. Industrial uses may be located in a variety of locations, but it is encouraged that customer-facing areas of industrial uses, such as offices and showrooms, be located on the primary street. B. Vehicular Access. Vehicular access (loading and parking) should be provided from rear alleys or side streets. If individual site conditions necessitate vehicular access from Santa Fe Avenue, or in the MU-PH district, Hampton Street or Pacific Boulevard, vehicular access points should be limited to one per property and be located in accordance with Section 17.56.060(L). C. Scale and Rhythm. If the project is located in an area with a recognizable development pattern, it should respect the scale and rhythm of the area, as illustrated in Figure 17.54.030(A). Projects which are larger than the current development pattern can .. .. Item 2 Page 301 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 50 of 67 _______________ include features such as step-down adjacent to lower-scaled uses and establishing building modules which are of a similar scale to the existing development. D. Residential Uses and Truck Loading. Residential uses (included multi-family dwelling uses, Hotel uses, Live/Work uses, and Residential Care Facilities uses) shall be located a minimum of 200 feet from any exposed loading dock demonstrated to have a minimum of 10 daily heavy truck trips. If the implementation of this requirement precludes the applicant’s ability to develop residential on the site, residential uses may be constructed within 200 feet of the exposed loading dock provided that guidelines in Section 17.54.050 (Buffering and Orientation) are applied to the fullest extent possible. E. Truck Access. New non-industrial development on a property which is adjacent to an existing industrial property shall not restrict their ability to access their truck docks and parking facilities and to ship goods into and out of their property in a like manner to that in use prior to the new development on the neighboring property. F. Ground Floor Residential Uses. Ground-floor residential uses shall be limited to live/work uses that permit walk-in trade. The amount of ground-floor frontage permitted to be such uses is limited by the Primary Street Ground Floor Active Use regulations. .. .. Item 2 Page 302 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 51 of 67 _______________ Figure 17.54.030(A) New development reflecting existing rhythm of building and open space/access from the street. 17.54.040 Setbacks and Projections. A. Upper Floor Uses. Upper floor uses, including residential and office uses, should incorporate setbacks and/or appropriate window orientation to ensure access to light and privacy. At minimum, upper floors of buildings shall comply with the fire separation requirements of California Building Code Table R.302.1.1 (unsprinklered buildings) or R.302.1 (sprinklered buildings). B. Balconies. Balconies shall not project into the public right-of-way. .. .. Item 2 Page 303 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 52 of 67 _______________ 17.54.050 Buffering and Orientation. Figure 17.54.050 Buffering and Orientation Guidelines Adjacent to Heavy Industrial Uses A. Residential Uses and Heavy Industrial Uses. Residential uses shall be separated from any adjacent heavy industrial uses (all industrial uses not included in Section 17.23.020, 17.24.020, 17.25.020, and 17.26.020) located outside a mixed-use zoning district with acoustic and visual buffers. Unless the applicant can demonstrate that a different strategy will be similarly effective, the buffer shall consist of a minimum six-foot high wall constructed of solid masonry and partially or fully covered with hedges, ivy, bamboo or other similar softening material, and a minimum five-foot wide screen landscaping strip consisting of evergreen trees or an evergreen trellis structure of at least six feet in height. B. Residential Orientation Away from Industrial Uses. Habitable residential spaces and windows should be oriented away from adjacent industrial uses to the greatest extent possible. C. Open Space Orientation Away from Industrial Uses. Open spaces should be oriented away from adjacent industrial uses. Should they be constructed in an area which is open to adjacent industrial properties, screening should be used to lessen the impacts of industrial activities on the residential properties. 17.54.060 Exterior Lighting A. Security and Visibility. Every project should have adequate lighting to provide for security and visibility, particularly along walkways and driveways, entrances to parking areas, and open space areas. .. .. Item 2 Page 304 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 53 of 67 _______________ B. Impact on Neighboring Properties. Site, parking lot and building security lighting should not impact surrounding or neighboring properties. The type and location of such lighting shall preclude direct glare onto adjoining property, streets, or skyward, and should not adversely impact residential units within a development. 17.54.070 Outdoor Service, Storage and Loading A. Screening and Concealing. Outdoor storage areas, loading docks, mechanical equipment and trash enclosures shall not be visible from Santa Fe Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Vernon Avenue or Hampton Street and shall be concealed or screened with a combination of building features, decorative walls and landscaping consistent with the architectural style of the building. Operational equipment for on-site businesses shall also be screened. B. Loading Docks. Any loading dock designed for use of trucks/trailers with four or more axles shall be screened from Santa Fe Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Vernon Avenue or Hampton Street by a building. Docks should be located toward the rear of such properties. C. These standards apply in addition to the standards in Section 17.22.070(A)(3). 17.54.080 Building and Performance Requirements A. Acoustic Separation. All interior spaces shall be sufficiently acoustically separated from other on- and off-site uses, as required by the CBC and other regulations. B. Air Filtering. All regularly occupied areas of mechanically ventilated buildings shall be equipped with air filtration media for outside and return air that provides a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 13. 17.54.090 Disclosure and Legal Requirements A. Statement of Acknowledgement. Applicants for any development containing residential or office uses must sign a statement acknowledging that individuals choosing to live and/or work in an active, mixed-use community are willing to accept a greater mix and closer proximity of surrounding land uses, and the rights of neighboring businesses to continue their legal business activities without undue interference must be preserved. B. Statement of Disclosure. A statement of disclosure shall be provided in all leases and condominium documents in which the lessee or buyer acknowledges the following: (1) That the facility is located in an industrial area in which annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to industrial uses such as odors, truck traffic, vibrations, noise and other neighborhood impacts are likely to be present to a greater degree and at different hours of the day than in other residential or commercial areas of the city, (2) Individual sensitivities to those annoyances may vary from person to person and lessee .. .. Item 2 Page 305 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 54 of 67 _______________ or buyer should consider which industrial annoyances are associated with the property and whether they are acceptable to him or her, and (3) The mix of business and industrial activities may vary as the area evolves and there is no guarantee that the land uses currently existing in immediate proximity to this development will remain unchanged into the future. Lessee or buyer acknowledges that land uses may change or expand as permitted by the City’s Zoning Ordinance and businesses are free to change the nature of their operations at any time in a manner consistent with applicable governing regulations. 17.54.100 Live/Work Standards and Guidelines. A. Purpose. As described in Tables 17.23.020(A), 17.24.020(A), 17.25.020(A) and 17.26.020(A), larger residential projects are required to have a live/work component. Other projects will be fully live/work. The reasons to provide live/work units include: 1. Provide spaces which are apt for small-scale industrial and creative production, at a lower price than paying for separate living and working units, in order to stimulate entrepreneurship and the vitality of the Vernon productive economy. 2. Provide appropriate transitions between industrial uses and high-volume streets, and residential units. 3. Orient the overall character and identity of new residential projects toward productive uses, and establish appropriate expectations on the part of future residents that they will reside in an industrial mixed-use environment. 4. Accommodate the growing demand for work from home. B. Permitted Uses. Permitted uses within a live/work unit shall depend on the type of live/work unit as described below. No property owner or homeowners’ association may restrict permissible uses beyond these categories, except for artist live/work space, and restrictions which can be demonstrated to be necessary for the health and safety of the residents. 1. Within Undivided Unit. Within the same undivided environment as a living space, artisan industrial, office, and personal services are permitted uses. Medical offices and personal service uses are assumed to accommodate walk-in trade and shall be located along the first floor, primary street frontage or have a clearly marked entrance with a visible sign from the primary street through a publicly accessible open space. 2. Permitted Use with Separable Space. The following uses are permitted within a separable space from the living area, or within a different unit than the living space in the same building or on the same property: any office use, any commercial use, any light industrial use. D. Hazardous Occupancies. Hazardous occupancies shall be restricted by the requirements of the California Building Code. .. .. Item 2 Page 306 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 55 of 67 _______________ E. Loading Docks. A minimum of one loading dock shall be provided for projects of over 10,000 square feet. Loading docks shall comply with the standards of Chapter 17.57. F. Unit Design Standards. Each live/work unit shall comply with the following design standards: 1. Size of Live/Work Unit. Every live/work unit shall have a defined area of no less than 200 square feet which is built and designed for productive work. 2. Productive Work Area. Productive work areas shall have a height of at least 10 feet floor to ceiling, shall be open and unimpeded by walls, and should be constructed of resilient materials that can support for productive uses. For example, appropriate flooring materials include concrete and hardwoods, and inappropriate flooring materials include linoleum. 3. Maximum Size of Live/Work Unit. The maximum size of a live/work unit shall be 3,000 square feet. 4. Work Areas in Adjacent Units. Work areas in adjacent units should be located next to each other. If a living space must be located near a work area of an adjacent unit, additional sound separation should be provided. 5. Residential Project Located along Streets without Trucking Restrictions. If a residential project is located along streets which do not have restrictions on trucking at the time of entitlement, the upper-floor street frontage should be occupied with work areas of live/work units. G. Ground Floor Live/Work Spaces. Ground-floor live/work spaces should be designed in a special manner, which emphasizes the “work” component of live/work, and engages the public in the pedestrian realm. Due to active use frontage requirements, ground-floor live/work units will exist adjacent to commercial or light industrial uses and should be designed for small businesses with employees and walk-in clientele. 1. Separate Living and Working Spaces. In new construction buildings, ground-floor live/work units shall have separate spaces and entrances for the living and working spaces. Living spaces may be located on upper floors of the building. 2. Minimum Work Area. A minimum of 350 square feet of work area shall be provided, and it shall be located on the ground floor. This work area shall have a height of at least 14 feet floor to ceiling and comply with all other requirements of 17.54.100(F). 3. Business License. An active business license with the City of Vernon shall be required to occupy a ground-floor live/work unit. 4. Detached Living and Working Spaces. Living and working spaces may be detached from each other. 17.54.110 Ground Floor Frontage Standards. A. Ground Floor Frontage Standards. Building frontages, particularly ground floors, should be designed to accentuate the walkability of Santa Fe Avenue as Vernon’s historic .. .. Item 2 Page 307 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 56 of 67 _______________ main street. The regulations given here are intended to ensure that ground-floor spaces are economically and physically viable, and contribute to the pedestrian environment with active uses. B. Minimum Streetwall. Ground-floors along primary streets shall incorporate a minimum streetwall at the building frontage, active use percentage, and minimum transparency as given in Tables 17.23.040(A), 17.24.040(A), 17.25.040(A), and 17.26.040(A). Portions of building elevations may be set back to allow for outdoor use, such as patio dining, public art or entry forecourts, and can still count toward the requirement for minimum streetwall at the building frontage. Parking, however, should never be placed in the front of the building. C. Main Entrance Location. Main entrances shall be emphasized and oriented to the sidewalk or sidewalk-accessible open space. D. Setback along Santa Fe Avenue. Setbacks may vary within the permitted range of minimum to maximum setback, as illustrated in Figure 17.54.140. Any setback area provided along Santa Fe Avenue shall be hardscaped and allow for public access unless used for outdoor dining. Any landscaping must be located in a planter. E. New Construction. For all new construction, ground-floor spaces shall have a floor- to-floor height of 18 feet minimum in order to ensure viability for retail or light industrial uses. F. Primary Street Frontage. Ground-floor live/work units shall have a minimum length of 25 feet along the primary street frontage. G. Awnings. Awnings are permitted to project up to six feet into the public right-of- way, provided that they are permitted by any other regulatory requirements such as utility pole clearances. H. Sidewalk Dining. Sidewalk dining is permitted within the MU-CC and MU-S zones with an Encroachment Permit. A minimum unobstructed sidewalk travel path of 6 feet, or 12 feet in front of City Hall, must be left at all times. I. Outdoor Dining. Outdoor dining is allowed on private property, including rooftops and private patios without limitation. If outdoor dining is located on private property at the building frontage, the maximum front setback may be exceeded in order to accommodate the outdoor dining area. .. .. Item 2 Page 308 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 57 of 67 _______________ Figure 17.54.140 Frontages can vary while still retaining unified setback. 17.54.120 Industrial Character Guidelines. A. Purpose and General Approach. Industrial Character Guidelines are intended to help retain the architectural character of existing buildings as defined by their initial use and historic context at their period of greatest significance. This can be achieved through implementing a combination of strategies such as: maintaining original character defining features, structural elements, including reinforced concrete and open truss roofs, materials such as brick, concrete, and steel, windows and doors, etc. These strategies can be paired with the thoughtful addition and integration of new elements necessary to accommodate proposed uses and assure the activation and continuous utilization of the building. Developments are encouraged to adapt existing buildings by retaining certain key features and elements in a way that celebrates the history of the structures, while incorporating new elements into a single, coherent design that ultimately allows for a greater range of usability. Elements to be maintained will need to be submitted, reviewed, and confirmed through the Design Review process. B. Materiality and Architectural Style. New, ground-up construction should also incorporate the language of industrial structures, including use of exposed brick, concrete and steel, flat roofs and use of scale appropriate to the legacy industrial structures in the immediate area. Use of traditional residential or main street commercial architectural styles, such as Spanish or English Colonial, are discouraged in favor of more modern, contemporary styles. .. .. Item 2 Page 309 of 399 Ordinance No. 1293 Page 58 of 67 _______________ C. Murals. Murals are an important part of Vernon’s and Los Angeles’ industrial fabric. New murals are encouraged within the mixed-use districts and are subject to approval through the Design Review process. 17.54.160 On-Site Open Space and Sustainability Guidelines. A. Purpose. Vernon is a non-traditional setting for certain uses, particularly residential. Open space in the Westside context is important to provide places for interaction, enjoyment of natural features (the air, soil, plants, etc.), and recreation for the population most likely to move into this type of mixed-use environment. B. Open Space Regulations. All development is subject to the open space regulations given in Chapters 17.23, 17.24, 17.25, and 17.26, except as modified by the incentives of Chapter 17.54. C. Common Open Space. Common open spaces should be designed and provide amenities to promote interaction between residents. They should be located along the most common paths of travel between primary entries and private units or spaces. Common open spaces may be open to the public. D. Large Projects. Larger projects should incorporate public open spaces such as plazas, courtyards and paseos which provide access to or augment public-serving on- site uses, especially on-site uses which may be located in the rear of properties. E. Residential Projects. Residential projects should incorporate recreational amenities appropriate to the side of the project and the intended population: for example, pools and large recreation rooms for larger projects, and barbeque areas for smaller projects. F. Low-Impact Development Requirements. Projects shall satisfy all applicable low- impact development requirements. Accommodation of low-impact development requirements in a joint fashion among neighboring property owners is encouraged. An in- lieu fee may be charged to fund district-scale stormwater measures, such as stormwater BMPs along Santa Fe Avenue or in greenways. G. Sustainability. Green roofs are highly encouraged in tandem with open spaces at the ground or podium level. Sustainable values of green roofs include stormwater collection, building insulation and urban heat island reduction. Stormwater drainage can be captured and harvested for re-use in landscaped areas through low-flow drainage systems. .. ..

New development with a mix of uses in a building, on a lot, or an adaptive reuse of an existing structure may account for shared parking between uses on site or at proximate facilities (within the maximum distance specified in 17.57.050(A)) with unutilized supply. When the Director of Public Works determines that the peak parking demand for a project may be met by a number of parking spaces less than required, he or she may grant a reduction of the total number of parking spaces by up to 50 percent, provided that the applicant provide a parking study from a professional engineer (PE) or traffic engineer (TE) based on a survey of at least three similar projects. 17.57.050 Off-Site Parking. A. Parking for Nonresidential Uses. Parking required to serve a nonresidential use may be on the same or a different site under the same or different ownership as the use served, provided the parking shall be within 500 feet of the use served. Said distance shall be measured along public walkways from the nearest lot line of the lot on which the uses are located to the nearest lot line of the lot on which the required parking is located. B. Joint Use of Offstreet Parking. Property owners involved in the joint use of offstreet parking facilities shall submit an agreement for such joint use by a proper legal instrument approved by the Public Works Director as to form and content. Such instrument shall be submitted with the entitlement application. Such instrument, when approved as conforming to the provisions of this Section, shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder, and copies of said recorded documents filed with the Public Works Department prior to issuance of a building permit. 17.57.060 Structured Parking, Parking Lifts, and Tandem Parking. A. Location of Parking. Parking may be located on the surface, or in an underground, podium or detached structure. Parking aisles in any type of structure need only comply with minimum heights specified by the California Building Code. The minimum height required in VMC Table 17.56.060K shall not apply. B. Parking Lifts. Residential and employee parking spaces may make use of any type of parking lift that allows for motorists to retrieve a vehicle without having to have person from a different household move their vehicle first. Parking spaces not restricted to residential or employee use may make use of any type of parking lifts provided that the lift is operated by a contracted parking management/valet vendor that has been certified by the City. C. Tandem Parking. Tandem parking is only permitted between parking spaces belonging to the same unit. Both tandem spaces shall be a minimum of 22 feet long. .. ..

A. Purpose. The Pacific Hampton district is centered around a cluster of smaller-scale, midcentury single-story industrial buildings which are slowly being transformed into production studios, creative offices, commercial kitchens and other non-residential/non- retail uses. The standards in this maintain the low-scaled character of the district, while allowing for new flexibility in uses and accommodation of parking. B. Standards and Nonconforming Uses. The regulation of uses and establishment of development standards and site planning standards set forth in the MU-PH Zone are those deemed necessary to establish an environment prioritizing creative industrial uses. The right to use and maintain legal nonconforming uses and legal nonconforming building and standards in the MU-PH Zone and all overlay zones are governed by Section 17.64.010, “Legal nonconforming status.” 17.29.020 Use Regulation. A. Use Regulation. Tables 17.29.020A and 17.29.020B detail specific land uses within the MU-PH zone which are either encouraged, permitted of right, accessory, accessory or conditional, conditional, or prohibited. B. Definitions. Definitions of use classifications are given in Chapter 17.16. Per VMC Section 17.12.010, the Public Works Director may interpret and apply these use classifications to individual cases. C. Commercial, Industrial, Warehouse Uses. Any commercial or industrial or warehouse use which is not included in Table 17.29.020B shall be permitted of right, conditionally permitted, or prohibited subject to all standards of the I zone. Such uses include: research and development labs, commercial testing labs, computer/circuit board/semi- conductor manufacturing, research hospitals/labs (with medical waste), electric vehicle recharge facility, data center, specialty agriculture growing facility, auto body shops, gas dispensing facilities, metal plating shops, materials manufacturing, large manufacturing and assembly plants, industrial machinery, energy and utility operations, warehousing, logistics facility, and mini distribution center. Any commercial or industrial or warehouse use not included in Table 17.29.020B shall comply with parking, loading, intensity and approval standards of the I zone, including VMC 17.24.020, 17.24.030, 17.24.035, 17.24.040, 17.24.050B, 17.24.050C, 17.24.080A, 17.24.080G, and Chapter 17.56. .. ..

A. Purpose. The Westside of Vernon’s legacy commercial and industrial buildings are important assets which not only represent important adaptive reuse opportunities in themselves, but give character and identity to the area as a whole. As such, the retention of these legacy buildings as new development occurs is highly encouraged. The incentives in this Chapter are intended to offer property owners who elect to preserve legacy buildings with additional development capacity and flexibility in order to mitigate any economic impacts occasioned by the preservation of a building. B. Criteria. Structures which meet the following three criteria shall qualify as legacy structures: 1. constructed between 1880 and 1950 2. located within the mixed-use zoning districts, and .. .. Item 2 Page 362 of 399 3. at least 10,000 square feet in gross floor area. C. Incentives. A property owner who elects to retain character-defining features of a legacy structure shall be eligible to obtain development standard incentives as described in Table 17.53.040A and the entirety of this Chapter. An application for any of these incentives shall demonstrate that the applicant will preserve or enhance character-defining features of the building. The determination of incentives made available through the preservation of character-defining features shall be made through the Design Review process, as described in Chapter 17.86. The entire building need not be preserved. C. Non-Historic Significance. It should be noted that the “legacy structure” classification described here is not the same as a determination of historic significance as defined by State law. At the time of adoption, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a historic resources study prior to demolition of any structure that is over 45 years old. 17.53.020 Encouraged Uses – Purpose and Criteria. A. Purpose. The City of Vernon seeks to incentivize projects which combine multiple “Encouraged” uses to foment innovation through the creative collision of different users and diversify the long-term fiscal position of the City. B. Encouraged Use Criteria. Any project within the mixed-use districts which meets the following criteria is eligible to receive incentives: 1. For projects under 50,000 square feet gross floor area, at least 5% of the gross floor area in two or more Encouraged uses 1.2. For projects over 50,000 square feet gross floor area, at least 5% of the gross floor area in three or more Encouraged uses. The list of encouraged uses is given by district in sections 17.25.020, 17.26.020, 17.27.020 and 17.29.030. 17.53.030 Available Legacy Structure Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives. A. Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives. The Preservation and Encouraged Use Incentives table (Table 17.120.030A) lists potential relaxations/incentives to development standards given in Chapters 17.25, 17.26, 17.27, and 17.29 apply to a project which meets the criteria of section 17.53.010B and 17.53.020A. Figures 17.120.030B, 17.120.030C and 17.120.030D illustrate an example application of height and active use frontage incentives, as well as affordable housing incentives per section 17.53.050. B.

Item 2 Page 366 of 399 17.53.040 Parking Incentives for Adaptive Reuse Projects. A. Available Incentives. The following incentives are available to legacy structure preservation projects only through the Design Review process: 1. On-street parking stalls along Santa Fe Avenue or Pacific Boulevard (streets where it does not exist today) that are located less than a five-minute walk (1/4 mile) from the main entrance to the development may be counted toward nonresidential parking requirements. 2. Tandem parking is permitted, subject to approval of management conditions by the Public Works Director. B. Preserving Entire Footprint of Legacy Building. Projects which wish to preserve the entire footprint of a legacy building and cannot accommodate parking needs even with the incentives provided above may request an exception (VMC 17.12.030) or variance (VMC 17.68). C. Additional Flexibility Provisions. Preservation projects may also apply flexibility provisions, such as shared parking, off-site parking, and use of vertical stackers. See Chapter 17.57 for detailed standards. 17.53.050 Affordable Housing Incentives. A. Affordable Housing. Density bonuses, waivers and concessions are available to developers who provide on-site affordable housing or donate land for the purposes of housing per VMC Chapter 17.92. Within mixed-use district areas which do not explicitly calculate the permitted density, applicants may calculate the “density bonus” granted by VMC Chapter 17.92 in one of two ways: 1. Any project which is at least 50% residential by gross floor area may increase the height limit as of right, in Table 17.120.060A: .. .. Item 2 Page 367 of 399 Table 17.53.060A Height Density Bonus 2. The applicant may submit a density study to establish the base density upon which the bonus shall be applied. A density study is a set of schematic plans that include a building massing, building section and floor plans that complies with all relevant zoning and building code standards. Residential unit size and mix and non-residential uses on-site shall be the same as in the proposed project. .. ..

A. The City has a vested interest in ensuring that all development is compatible with the industrial nature of the City and the pedestrian-friendly, hybrid industrial nature of its mixed-use districts. In addition to the mandatory standards of this Title, the City implements Design Review (Chapter 17.86) to ensure that development achieves these aims. The standards and guidelines of this Chapter are a resource for Design Review. As described in Section 17.86.020B,.Design Review will evaluate strict compliance with mandatory standards in this Chapter. Design Review will also evaluate substantial compliance with guidelines in this Chapter which are expressed with non-mandatory language, determining which guidelines are applicable to a particular project. B. Applicability. These design standards and guidelines shall apply to all projects within Mixed Use zones which are subject to Design Review as described in 17.86 17.54.020 Building Orientation and Relationship to Context. A. Orientation and Context. All buildings within mixed-use districts should be oriented and designed to promote pedestrian activity, comfort and safety. At the same time, buildings which include residential or live/work uses should be designed to minimize conflicts between these uses and on-site or neighboring uses which cause noise, odors, vibrations or contaminants. Implementation of this principle, and adherence to the standards below, is important to protect not only residents, but also neighboring businesses in Vernon, so that they can continue activities unimpeded over the long term. 17.54.030 Site Planning. A. Location and Uses. Commercial uses, lobbies and other public-facing uses should be located on the primary street, with a direct entry from the sidewalk. For corner .. .. Item 2 Page 369 of 399 properties, these uses should prioritize access and orientation to Santa Fe Avenue, or in the MU-PH district, Hampton Street and Pacific Boulevard. Residential uses should principally be located above or behind the primary street ground floor frontage. Industrial uses may be located in a variety of locations, but it is encouraged that customer-facing areas of industrial uses, such as offices and showrooms, be located on the primary street. B. Vehicular Access. Vehicular access (loading and parking) should be provided from rear alleys or side streets. If individual site conditions necessitate vehicular access from Santa Fe Avenue, or in the MU-PH district, Hampton Street or Pacific Boulevard, vehicular access points should be limited to one per property and be located in accordance with VMC 17.56.060L. C. Scale and Rhythm. If the project is located in an area with a recognizable development pattern, it should respect the scale and rhythm of the area, as illustrated in Figure 17.54.030A. Projects which are larger than the current development pattern can include features such as step-down adjacent to lower-scaled uses and establishing building modules which are of a similar scale to the existing development. D. Residential Uses and Truck Loading. Residential uses (included multi-family dwelling uses, Hotel uses, Live/Work uses, and Residential Care Facilities uses) shall be located a minimum of 200 feet from any exposed loading dock demonstrated to have a minimum of 10 daily heavy truck trips. If the implementation of this requirement precludes the applicant’s ability to develop residential on the site, residential uses may be constructed within 200 feet of the exposed loading dock provided that guidelines in Section 17.54.050 (Buffering and Orientation) are applied to the fullest extent possible. E. Truck Access. New non-industrial development on a property which is adjacent to an existing industrial property shall not restrict their ability to access their truck docks and parking facilities and to ship goods into and out of their property in a like manner to that in use prior to the new development on the neighboring property. F. Ground Floor Residential Uses. Ground-floor residential uses shall be limited to live/work uses that permit walk-in trade. The amount of ground-floor frontage permitted to be such uses is limited by the Primary Street Ground Floor Active Use regulations. .. .. Item 2 Page 370 of 399 Figure 17.54.030A New development reflecting existing rhythm of building and open space/access from the street. 17.54.040 Setbacks and Projections. A. Upper Floor Uses. Upper-floor uses, including residential and office uses, should incorporate setbacks and/or appropriate window orientation to ensure access to light and privacy. At minimum, upper floors of buildings shall comply with the fire separation requirements of California Building Code Table R.302.1.1 (unsprinklered buildings) or R.302.1 (sprinklered buildings). B. Balconies. Balconies shall not project into the public right-of-way. .. .. Item 2 Page 371 of 399 17.54.050 Buffering and Orientation. Figure 17.54.050 Buffering and Orientation guidelines adjacent to heavy industrial uses. .. .. Item 2 Page 372 of 399 A. Residential Uses and Heavy Industrial Uses. Residential uses shall be separated from any adjacent heavy industrial uses (all industrial uses not included in section 17.25.020, 17.26.020, 17.27.020, and 17.29.020) located outside a mixed-use zoning district with acoustic and visual buffers. Unless the applicant can demonstrate that a different strategy will be similarly effective, the buffer shall consist of a minimum six-foot high wall constructed of solid masonry and partially or fully covered with hedges, ivy, bamboo or other similar softening material, and a minimum five-foot wide screen landscaping strip consisting of evergreen trees or an evergreen trellis structure of at least six feet in height. B. Residential Orientation Away from Industrial Uses. Habitable residential spaces and windows should be oriented away from adjacent industrial uses to the greatest extent possible. C. Open Space Orientation Away from Industrial Uses. Open spaces should be oriented away from adjacent industrial uses. Should they be constructed in an area which is open to adjacent industrial properties, screening should be used to lessen the impacts of industrial activities on the residential properties. 17.54.060 Exterior Lighting: A. Security and Visibility. Every project should have adequate lighting to provide for security and visibility, particularly along walkways and driveways, entrances to parking areas, and open space areas. B. Impact on Neighboring Properties. Site, parking lot and building security lighting should not impact surrounding or neighboring properties. The type and location of such lighting shall preclude direct glare onto adjoining property, streets, or skyward, and should not adversely impact residential units within a development. .. .. Item 2 Page 373 of 399 17.54.070 Outdoor Service, Storage and Loading: A. Screening and Concealing. Outdoor storage areas, loading docks, mechanical equipment and trash enclosures shall not be visible from Santa Fe Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Vernon Avenue or Hampton Street and shall be concealed or screened with a combination of building features, decorative walls and landscaping consistent with the architectural style of the building. Operational equipment for on-site businesses shall also be screened. B. Loading Docks. Any loading dock designed for use of trucks/trailers with four or more axles shall be screened from Santa Fe Avenue, Pacific Boulevard, Vernon Avenue or Hampton Street by a building. Docks should be located toward the rear of such properties. C. These standards apply in addition to the standards in VMC 17.24.070.A.3. 17.54.080 Building and Performance Requirements: A. Acoustic Separation. All interior spaces shall be sufficiently acoustically separated from other on- and off-site uses, as required by the CBC and other regulations. B. Air Filtering. All regularly occupied areas of mechanically ventilated buildings shall be equipped with air filtration media for outside and return air that provides a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 13. 17.54.090 Disclosure and Legal Requirements: A. Statement of Acknowledgement. Applicants for any development containing residential or office uses must sign a statement acknowledging that individuals choosing to live and/or work in an active, mixed-use community are willing to accept a greater mix and closer proximity of surrounding land uses, and the rights of neighboring businesses to continue their legal business activities without undue interference must be preserved. B. Statement of Disclosure. A statement of disclosure shall be provided in all leases and condominium documents in which the lessee or buyer acknowledges the following: (1) Tthat the facility is located in an industrial area which in which annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to industrial uses such as odors, truck traffic, vibrations, noise and other neighborhood impacts are likely to be present to a greater degree and at different hours of the day than in other residential or commercial areas of the city, (2). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances may vary from person to person and lessee or buyer should consider which industrial annoyances are associated with the property and whether they are acceptable to him or her, and (3) The mix of business and industrial activities may vary as the area evolves and there is no guarantee that the land uses currently existing in immediate proximity to this development will remain unchanged into the future. Lessee or buyer acknowledges that land uses may change or expand as permitted by the City’s Zoning Ordinance and .. .. Item 2 Page 374 of 399 businesses are free to change the nature of their operations at any time in a manner consistent with applicable governing regulations. 17.54.100 Live/Work Standards and Guidelines. A. Purpose. As described in Tables 17.25.020A, 17.26.020A, 17.27.020A and 17.29.020A, larger residential projects are required to have a live/work component. Other projects will be fully live/work. The reasons to provide live/work units include: 1. Provide spaces which are apt for small-scale industrial and creative production, at a lower price than paying for separate living and working units, in order to stimulate entrepreneurship and the vitality of the Vernon productive economy. 2. Provide appropriate transitions between industrial uses and high-volume streets, and residential units. 3. Orient the overall character and identity of new residential projects toward productive uses, and establish appropriate expectations on the part of future residents that they will reside in an industrial mixed-use environment. 4. Accommodate the growing demand for work from home. B. Permitted Uses. Permitted uses within a live/work unit shall depend on the type of live/work unit as described below. No property owner or homeowners’ association may restrict permissible uses beyond these categories, except for artist live/work space, and restrictions which can be demonstrated to be necessary for the health and safety of the residents. 1. Within Undivided Unit. Within the same undivided environment as a living space, artisan industrial, office, and personal services are permitted uses. Medical offices and personal service uses are assumed to accommodate walk-in trade and shall be located along the first floor, primary street frontage or have a clearly marked entrance with a visible sign from the primary street through a publicly accessible open space. 2. Permitted Use with Separable Space. The following uses are permitted within a separable space from the living area, or within a different unit than the living space in the same building or on the same property: any office use, any commercial use, any light industrial use. D. Hazardous Occupancies. Hazardous occupancies shall be restricted by the requirements of the California Building Code. E. Loading Docks. A minimum of one loading dock shall be provided for projects of over 10,000 square feet. Loading docks shall comply with the standards of Chapter 17.57. F. Unit Design Standards. Each live/work unit shall comply with the following design standards: .. .. Item 2 Page 375 of 399 1. Size of Live/Work Unit. Every live/work unit shall have a defined area of no less than 200 square feet which is built and designed for productive work. 2. Productive Work Area. Productive work areas shall have a height of at least 10 feet floor to ceiling, shall be open and unimpeded by walls, and should be constructed of resilient materials that can support for productive uses. For example, appropriate flooring materials include concrete and hardwoods, and inappropriate flooring materials include linoleum. 3. Maximum Size of Live/Work Unit. The maximum size of a live/work unit shall be 3,000 square feet. 4. Work Areas in Adjacent Units. Work areas in adjacent units should be located next to each other. If a living space must be located near a work area of an adjacent unit, additional sound separation should be provided. 5. Residential Project Located along Streets without Trucking Restrictions. If a residential project is located along streets which do not have restrictions on trucking at the time of entitlement, the upper-floor street frontage should be occupied with work areas of live/work units. G. Ground Floor Live/Work Spaces. Ground-floor live/work spaces should be designed in a special manner, which emphasizes the “work” component of live/work, and engages the public in the pedestrian realm. Due to active use frontage requirements, ground- floor live/work units will exist adjacent to commercial or light industrial uses and should be designed for small businesses with employees and walk-in clientele. 1. Separate Living and Working Spaces. In new construction buildings, ground-floor live/work units shall have separate spaces and entrances for the living and working spaces. Living spaces may be located on upper floors of the building. 2. Minimum Work Area. A minimum of 350 square feet of work area shall be provided, and it shall be located on the ground floor. This work area shall have a height of at least 14 feet floor to ceiling and comply with all other requirements of 17.54.100F. 3. Business License. An active business license with the City of Vernon shall be required to occupy a ground-floor live/work unit. 4. Detached Living and Working Spaces. Living and working spaces may be detached from each other. 17.54.110 Ground Floor Frontage Standards. A. Ground Floor Frontage Standards. Building frontages, particularly ground floors, should be designed to accentuate the walkability of Santa Fe Avenue as Vernon’s historic main street. The regulations given here are intended to ensure that ground-floor .. .. Item 2 Page 376 of 399 spaces are economically and physically viable, and contribute to the pedestrian environment with active uses. B. Minimum Streetwall. Ground-floors along primary streets shall incorporate a minimum streetwall at the building frontage, active use percentage, and minimum transparency as given in Tables 17.25.040A, 17.26.040A, 17.27.040A, and 17.29.040A. Portions of building elevations may be set back to allow for outdoor use, such as patio dining, public art or entry forecourts, and can still count toward the requirement for minimum streetwall at the building frontage. Parking, however, should never be placed in the front of the building. C. Main Entrance Location. Main entrances shall be emphasized and oriented to the sidewalk or sidewalk-accessible open space. D. Setback along Santa Fe Avenue. Setbacks may vary within the permitted range of minimum to maximum setback, as illustrated in Figure 17.54.140. Any setback area provided along Santa Fe Avenue shall be hardscaped and allow for public access unless used for outdoor dining. Any landscaping must be located in a planter. E. New Construction. For all new construction, ground-floor spaces shall have a floor-to- floor height of 18 feet minimum in order to ensure viability for retail or light industrial uses. F. Primary Street Frontage. Ground-floor live/work units shall have a minimum length of 25 feet along the primary street frontage. G. Awnings. Awnings are permitted to project up to six feet into the public right-of-way, provided that they are permitted by any other regulatory requirements such as utility pole clearances. H. Sidewalk Dining. Sidewalk dining is permitted within the MU-CC and MU-S zones with an Encroachment Permit. A minimum unobstructed sidewalk travel path of 6 feet, or 12 feet in front of City Hall, must be left at all times. I. Outdoor Dining. Outdoor dining is allowed on private property, including rooftops and private patios without limitation. If outdoor dining is located on private property at the building frontage, the maximum front setback may be exceeded in order to accommodate the outdoor dining area. .. .. Item 2 Page 377 of 399 Figure 17.54.140 Frontages can vary while still retaining unified setback. 17.54.120 Industrial Character Guidelines. A. Purpose and General Approach. Industrial Character Guidelines are intended to help retain the architectural character of existing buildings as defined by their initial use and historic context at their period of greatest significance. This can be achieved through implementing a combination of strategies such as: maintaining original character defining features, structural elements, including reinforced concrete and open truss roofs, materials such as brick, concrete, and steel, windows and doors, etc. These strategies can be paired with the thoughtful addition and integration of new elements necessary to accommodate proposed uses and assure the activation and continuous utilization of the building. Developments are encouraged to adapt existing buildings by retaining certain key features and elements in a way that celebrates the history of the structures, while incorporating new elements into a single, coherent design that ultimately allows for a greater range of usability. Elements to be maintained will need to be submitted, reviewed, and confirmed through the Design Review process. B. Materiality and Architectural Style. New, ground-up construction should also incorporate the language of industrial structures, including use of exposed brick, concrete and steel, flat roofs and use of scale appropriate to the legacy industrial structures in the immediate area. Use of traditional residential or main street commercial architectural styles, such as Spanish or English Colonial, are discouraged in favor of more modern, contemporary styles. .. .. Item 2 Page 378 of 399 C. Murals. Murals are an important part of Vernon’s and Los Angeles’ industrial fabric. New murals are encouraged within the mixed-use districts and are subject to approval through the Design Review process. 17.54.160 On-Site Open Space and Sustainability Guidelines. A. Purpose. Vernon is a non-traditional setting for certain uses, particularly residential. Open space in the Westside context is important to provide places for interaction, enjoyment of natural features (the air, soil, plants, etc.), and recreation for the population most likely to move into this type of mixed-use environment. B. Open Space Regulations. All development is subject to the open space regulations given in Chapters 17.25, 17.26, 17.27, and 17.29, except as modified by the incentives of Chapter 17.54. C. Common Open Space. Common open spaces should be designed and provide amenities to promote interaction between residents. They should be located along the most common paths of travel between primary entries and private units or spaces. Common open spaces may be open to the public. D. Large Projects. Larger projects should incorporate public open spaces such as plazas, courtyards and paseos which provide access to or augment public-serving on- site uses, especially on-site uses which may be located in the rear of properties. E. Residential Projects. Residential projects should incorporate recreational amenities appropriate to the side of the project and the intended population: for example, pools and large recreation rooms for larger projects, and barbeque areas for smaller projects. F. Low-Impact Development Requirements. Projects shall satisfy all applicable low- impact development requirements. Accommodation of low-impact development requirements in a joint fashion among neighboring property owners is encouraged. An in-lieu fee may be charged to fund district-scale stormwater measures, such as stormwater BMPs along Santa Fe Avenue or in greenways. G. Sustainability.

Item 8 Page 80 of 80 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities Department:Public Utilities Submitted by:Adriana Ramos, Administrative Analyst Subject Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) Task Order No. Vernon-03 for Services by Radian Generation, LLC (Radian) Recommendation Approve and authorize the General Manager of Public Utilities to execute SCPPA Task Order No. Vernon-03 for services from Radian Generation, LLC, for regulatory compliance administrative services, including the installation, maintenance, support, document migration, content development, and use of Global Audit Ready software for a total amount not-to-exceed $251,700, for a three-year period. Background Since 2020, Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) has utilized the services of Cooper Compliance (now Radian) to assist with the customization for compliance activities such as managing workflows, compliance tasks, document migration, content development, and more. Radian has developed a Microsoft SharePoint-based platform, Global Audit Ready (GAR), to manage compliance documents with numerous regulations, including the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). GAR assists subject matter experts in meeting deadlines and manages the workflow of compliance evidence for regulatory audits and internal compliance programs. Radian provides Compliance Administrative Services and use of the Global Audit Ready Compliance Management Software through task orders under its Master Professional Services Agreement with SCPPA dated October 17, 2019 (SCPPA Agreement). The prior task order for these services with Radian expired on December 31, 2022. Prior to the expiration date, Staff submitted a request for a new task order from SCPPA and Radian to which the parties responded on March 14, 2023. The proposed SCPPA Task Order No. Vernon-03, has a term of January 1, 2023 through October 17, 2025, and is for a total not-to-exceed amount of $251,700. The cost reflects discounted pricing made available through the SCPPA Agreement. The scope of work under the proposed task order with Radian would consist of the following: •Regulatory Compliance Administrative Services, including installation, maintenance, support, document migration, content development, and Global Audit Ready software. •Lease of Global Audit Ready Compliance Management Software, including maintenance and support. •Migration of Documents (Vernon’s Compliance Programs, Records, and Evidence of Compliance) and Content Development (developing, drafting, inputting process narratives, workflows, and compliance tasks. •NERC Compliance Administrative Services As a SCPPA member, VPU has the ability to contract with vendors that have completed SCPPA’s competitive bidding process for professional services. As such, Radian’s services may be utilized by VPU as a participating member. SCPPA is a public entity duly organized and existing under .. .. Item 9 Page 1 of 5 the Joint Exercise of Powers Act (Cal. Government Code sec. 6500 et seq.), under a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) entered into by and among the cities of Anaheim, Azusa, Banning, Burbank, Cerritos, Colton, Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Riverside, Vernon, and the Imperial Irrigation District (Members) with authority to engage in various activities supportive of the Members' electric utilities. The SCPPA Board of Directors is responsible for the general management of the affairs of SCPPA, and under the JPA, has the power, among other things, to make and enter into contracts for services specific to electric utility needs. This allows VPU and other member agencies to benefit from economies of scale and procure goods and services with volume discounts. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the task order with Radian to assist staff with regulatory compliance administrative services and offer maintenance and support for its management software. Since VPU is using a vendor competitively bid by SCPPA, the proposed task order is exempt from the City's competitive bidding and competitive selection requirements per Vernon Municipal Code (VMC) Section 3.32.110, subsections (A)(5) and (B)(1). The Finance Director is of the opinion that it is to the advantage of the City to contract with Radian through their existing SCPPA Agreement. Pursuant to VMC Section 3.32.030(A), City Council approval of the proposed task order is necessary since the cost exceeds $100,000. SCPPA Task Order No. Vernon-03 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office. Fiscal Impact The total fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $251,700. Sufficient funds are available in the VPU Electric Fund, Professional Services - Other Account No. 055-050-580-529215 for FY 2022-23, FY 2023-24, and will be included in subsequent FY budgets.

Item 10 Page 4 of 4 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities Department:Public Utilities Submitted by:Adriana Ramos, Administrative Analyst Subject Amendment No. 3 to Services Agreement with S&S Labor Force Inc., dba JRM for Unarmed Security Guard Services Recommendation Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute Amendment No. 3 to the 2020 Services Agreement with S&S Labor Force Inc., dba JRM, in substantially the same form as submitted, for unarmed security guard services for a not-to-exceed amount of $22,542.39. Background Following a Request for Proposal process, on May 19, 2020, City Council approved a Services Agreement with S&S Labor Force, Inc., dba JRM (JRM) for unarmed security guard services in the amount of $1,809,000.00, for a term of three years (2020 Services Agreement). On June 1, 2021, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2020 Services Agreement with JRM in the amount of $507,500 due to factors related to the state of emergency, as well as factors that were not known or expected at the start of the contract and at the time of the budget adoption. At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts and countermeasures continued to evolve, and with high social tensions peaking, the City made necessary adjustments to increase security arrangements. On February 15, 2022, City Council approved Amendment No. 2 for $992,000 due to continued evaluation on how to best leverage the services of JRM to aid in safeguarding public and City property during the emerging impacts of the highly communicable COVID-19 variants. On January 7, 2023, staff requested additional security services from JRM to ensure the secure storage of materials and equipment needed to upgrade Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) Electric System due to new customer capacity requirements. The upgrade work was to energize a new customer with a capacity requirement of 50 megawatts (MW), which VPU’s current configuration could not meet. As a result, additional line crews, materials, and equipment were brought in to construct new high-voltage 66kV lines and a new substation. JRM was directed to protect these valuable materials and equipment to ensure that VPU remained on an aggressive timeline to meet the new customer's deadlines. It is anticipated that the new customer will reimburse VPU for security service charges related to the upgrades, estimated at $150,000. Due to the added security service for the new customer electric upgrades performed, there are insufficient funds available to cover outstanding costs incurred from January through April 2023. Accordingly, staff is seeking approval of Amendment No. 3 in the amount of $22,542.39 to cover payment on outstanding invoices and close out the 2020 Services Agreement, which expired on May 20, 2023. On April 4, 2023, City Council approved a new three-year Services Agreement with JRM, with an effective date of May 1, 2023, to provide unarmed security guard services. All security guard services performed by JRM after May 1, 2023 will be paid under the new 2023 Services Agreement... .. Item 11 Page 1 of 4 Although there are sufficient funds in VPU’s budget and no budget adjustments are necessary for this service in FY 2022-23, approval of the proposed Amendment No. 3 to the 2020 Services Agreement with JRM would allocate additional funds to this contract to cover the special new customer-driven electric upgrades to the VPU Electric System. Amendment No. 3 has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. Fiscal Impact Amendment No. 3 with JRM would add $22,542.39 to the 2020 Services Agreement for a grand total not-to-exceed amount of $3,331,042.39. Sufficient funds for unarmed security guard services are available in the Light & Power Fund, Administration Department, Professional Services-Other Account No. 055-050-580-529215 for fiscal year 2022-23.

The City and Contractor agree as follows: RECITALS A. The City and Contractor are parties to a written Agreement dated May 20, 2020, as amended, under which Contractor provides unarmed security guard services. B. Due to unanticipated additional expenses incurred during the contract term, the City and Contractor desire to amend the Agreement to increase Contractor’s total compensation by an amount not to exceed $22,542.39. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Amendment agree as follows: 1. Effective July 18, 2023, Contractor’s grand total consideration for the term of the Agreement, from May 20, 2020 to May 20, 2023 shall not exceed the total amount of $3,331,043.02, without prior City Council approval and written amendment of the Agreement. 2. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 3. The provisions of this Amendment shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter included in this Amendment and shall supersede any other agreement, understanding, or arrangement, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment. 4.

Item 11 Page 4 of 4 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Todd Dusenberry, General Manager of Public Utilities Department:Public Utilities Submitted by:Adriana Ramos, Administrative Analyst Subject Customer Support Agreement with Siemens Energy Inc. Recommendation A. Find that approval of the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, because it is a government fiscal activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; to the extent the Services Agreement with Siemens Energy provides for facility and equipment maintenance or repairs, such work is categorically exempt from CEQA review, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, because the project consists of the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing structures, facilities, or equipment, and involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use; B. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Customer Support Agreement with Siemens Energy Inc. (Siemens Energy), in substantially the same form as submitted, in an amount not-to-exceed $1,105,373, to upgrade the existing SPAA-T3000 control system and provide for ongoing service and maintenance needs; C. Authorize a contingency amount of ten percent (10%) or $110,537 for emergent software patches, updates, and non-warranted equipment or parts and grant authority to the City Administrator to issue Change Orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if necessary; and D. Approve the issuance of a blanket Purchase Contract in an amount not-to-exceed $25,000, for maintenance services and parts with Siemens Energy for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Background The Malburg Generating Station (MGS) is operated by the Siemens SPPA-T3000 Software Version 7.2, Instrumentation and Control (I&C) System. The SPPA-T3000 system’s architecture, programming, and the Intellectual Property (IP) of Siemens Energy provides human-machine interface, supervisory control, data acquisition and analysis, and remote monitoring capabilities. Siemens Energy recently released Omnivise T3000, which is a software upgrade to the SPPA- T3000 system. Over several months, Vernon Public Utilities (VPU) staff worked with the Information Technology Division to perform a thorough analysis of MGS’s current I&C system that involved multiple iterations with Siemens Energy and concluded that upgrading to the Omnivise T3000 Software Version 9.2 (Omnivise), in addition to upgrading the physical components and additional enhancements, is important to prevent operational issues in the future. The existing I&C system software and hardware is well over ten (10) years and at risk for potential failure. Additionally, the ongoing software service expired in April 2023. Upgrading to Omnivise will ensure continued reliability of plant operations. The Omnivise upgrade meets recommended cyber security threat protection requirements, replaces aging hardware, enhances functionality, and improves disaster recovery protocols. The proposed Customer Support Agreement will allow Siemens Energy to provide project management, engineering, onsite installation, Technical Field Assistance (TFA) installation, TFA commissioning, and customer factory acceptance testing. The Omnivise upgrade includes Acronis Cyber Protection software which allows VPU staff to make exact backups of the software .. .. Item 12 Page 1 of 16 and operating systems, thus enabling quick system recovery after a hardware or system failure. Additionally, VPU will receive modifications of the alarm description for hardware proxies. This feature will allow the City to benefit from more descriptive alerting, allowing issues to be identified quickly. The scope of work includes site audit and software backup, offsite software update and review, on-site upgrade implementation with equipment installation, testing and imaging of replacement equipment, and installation and commissioning of new hardware. The proposed Customer Support Agreement with Siemens Energy is exempt from competitive bidding and competitive selection requirements pursuant to Sections 3.32.110 (A)(2) and (B)(1) of the Vernon Municipal Code (VMC), as any required upgrade services and/or any necessary equipment can only be provided by Siemens. The I&C system used by MGS is only compatible with Siemens Energy software since Siemens Energy holds the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the software is propriety to Siemens Energy. The direct award to Siemens Energy will provide a cost benefit to the City and deliver the most current, state-of-the-art I&C system. Staff recommends that City Council approve the proposed Customer Support Agreement in the amount of $1,105,373 (consisting of T3000 Version Upgrade: $1,041,790, Estimated Taxes: $41,645.56, and Onsite Training: $21,937) to upgrade the control system to meet operational needs; and recommends a contingency amount of 10% or $110,537 for emergent software patches, updates, and non-warranted equipment or parts, for a potential cost not to exceed $1,215,910. The proposed Customer Support Agreement will have a five-year term. Pursuant to Sections 3.32.220(B) and 3.32.110(B)(3) of the VMC, staff recommends the City Council deem the proposed agreement commercially unreasonable to rebid every three years provided that Siemens Energy holds the IP address for the control system and upgrades, and serves as the original equipment manufacturer for the existing system. Staff is also seeking approval of a blanket Purchase Contract in the amount of $25,000 for FY 2023-24 to cover maintenance services and parts that may be required by Siemens Energy in support of MGS turbine maintenance during the year. City Council approval is required pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code 3.32.030(B), which states if, in the 12 months preceding the effective date of a proposed new, renewed, or otherwise amended contract, the City has paid or awarded the proposed vendor more than $100,000 pursuant to contracts with the vendor, then the proposed new, renewed, or otherwise amended contract shall be approved only by the City Council. The combined total of the proposed Customer Support Agreement and the proposed blanket Purchase Contract will exceed the approval threshold. The proposed Customer Support Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office. Fiscal Impact The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $1,215,910 over the course of the five year agreement and an additional $25,000 blanket Purchase Contract for FY 2023-24. Sufficient funds are available in the VPU Electric Fund, MGS, Professional Services – Technical Account No. 055-050-586- 529225 and Repairs & Maintenance Account No. 055-050-586-52900 for the current fiscal year.

Item 12 Page 10 of 16 5 6/28/2023 Rev. 00 Subject to Technical Changes Siemens Energy, Inc. understands the competitive pressures that exist within the Power industry today. We understand that these pressures are forcing power generation companies to make significant changes relative to their operations and maintenance models. These operations and maintenance models need to be proactive as well as reactive, swift in their deployment, efficient in their continuous execution, and scalable in response to the economics of expanding and contracting energy needs. Your Service Group within Siemens Energy, Inc. recognizes this reality and the need to have a service provider aligned so these issues may be successfully addressed. With this in mind, the Customer Support Agreement service contracts were developed The intent of the Customer Support Agreement is to bundle services that complement the specific operations and maintenance model of each customer. By selecting appropriate services and support, and the level of service from the various offerings within a service contract, the customer defines how Siemens Energy, Inc. will best support them and their success. In general, some of the tangible benefits that can be expected from a service contract are: Siemens Energy has developed four separate plans to meet the proactive and reactive needs of our customers. The plans start with reduced coverage focusing on reactive support as required then building on that base to extensive coverage that adds proactive maintenance and planning services. For description of the services and details of the services available within the different CSA Levels, please refer to the Customer Support Agreement Siemens Energy Power Plant Automation Control System Services Descriptions below.

As part of the SUTA audit services provided by MuniServices, the firm was to identify and correct point of sale distribution errors thereby generating new sales tax revenue which would not otherwise have been realized by the City. As noted above, MuniServices would then collect a 15% contingency fee (commission) on the recovered tax revenue amount for a limited period of time thereafter. At the time the initial Purchase Contract was approved, staff estimated the fee amount to be $10,000. However, given the number of distribution errors identified and corrected by MuniServices as described below, the commission amount billed by MuniServices is significantly more than anticipated. The City’s revenue is maximized by MuniServices‘ detection and correction Sales and Use Tax misallocations. During the fourth quarter of 2022, MuniServices reported a correction of $737,512.22 which resulted in an invoice for a total of $110,626.84. Pursuant to Section 3.32.030 (B) of the Vernon Municipal Code, if in the 12 months preceding the effective date of a proposed new, renewed, or otherwise amended contract, the City has paid more than $100,000 pursuant to the contracts with the vendor, the proposed amended contract shall be approved only by City Council. Finance would like to request an additional $265,000 to cover the fees on Invoice INV06-016624, as well as invoices billed for subsequent quarters covered by the contract. Due to the projected sales tax revenue recovery estimates provided by MuniServices, the remainder of the proposed change order is to cover the 15% contingency fee of the forecasted recovered revenues. .. ..

As of the 4th Quarter 2022, Avenu's sales tax audit service has resulted in the correction of 16 accounts that have produced more than $817,418 of new revenue for the City, of which $817,418 is subject to Avenu's performance based compensation (performance graph attached).

Wall, P.E., Director of Public Works Department:Public Works Submitted by:Lissette Melendez, Project Engineer Subject Encumbering Funds for City Contract No. 20230179, Citywide Striping and Pavement Markings Recommendation Authorize the Director of Finance to encumber $332,005 from Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 to FY 2023-24 for City Contract No. 20230179. Background Annually, the City of Vernon repaints portions of the street lane lines and markings throughout the City to ensure their clear delineation. The City contracts for this work because it can be done much more efficiently and cost-effectively through a private contractor than with City crews. Following a formal bid process, on May 16, 2023, City Council awarded Contract No. 202301797 to WGJ Enterprises, Inc. dba PCI, for $332,005 for citywide striping and pavement markings. Since then, Public Works Department staff worked diligently with the contractor to gather all required documents with a goal to begin the work immediately and complete it within FY 2022- 23. However, the construction schedule was delayed and is now on track to begin mid-July of 2023. The contract duration is 30 calendar days, and work is planned for completion with minimal impact on business operations in the City. Due to the delayed schedule, the Public Works Department is requesting that the FY 2022-23 funds for this project be re-allocated to the FY 2023-24 budget. Fiscal Impact Funds for citywide striping and paving were included in the FY 2022-23 budget, however, approval of this action would require an appropriation of $332,005 in FY 2023-24 General Fund, Public Work Street Maintenance Department, Account No. 011-040-430-660000 from available General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance to complete the project.

Item 14 Page 1 of 1 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Carlos Fandino, City Administrator Department:City Administration Submitted by:Lilia Hernandez, Assistant to City Administrator Subject Purchase Contract with Carahsoft Technology Corp. Recommendation Approve and authorize issuance of a purchase contract with Carahsoft Technology Corp. for various Information Technology purchases, for a total amount not-to-exceed $150,000 for Fiscal Year 2023-24. Background The Information Technology (IT) Division currently procures various necessary software systems and related maintenance services through Carahsoft Technology Corp. (Carahsoft). Carahsoft is a government IT solutions provider for public sector organizations across Federal, State, and Local Government agencies. The vendor is familiar with the City’s strict procurement processes and is able to provide competitive government pricing for products and services utilized by various Departments in the City. The proposed purchase contract with Carahsoft requires City Council approval pursuant to Vernon Municipal Code Section 3.32.030(A), as the total amount exceeds $100,000. The proposed purchase contract with Carahsoft would cover purchases occurring during Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24, including: SecureWorks for approximately $70,000, DocuSign for approximately $31,000, and approximately $49,000 for additional purchases as necessary. SecureWorks The IT Division obtains Managed Network Security Services from SecureWorks in order to protect the City’s network from Cyber Security Threats. The desired services from SecureWorks are purchased through Carahsoft and are anticipated to cost approximately $70,000 for a one- year term. SecureWorks uses an advanced data analytics and security insights via their Counter Threat Platform to provide complete network coverage, vulnerability management, monitoring, and analysis. DocuSign In 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City transitioned from manual paper-based agreement processing to an automated electronic process utilizing DocuSign. DocuSign’s eSignature service provides the ability for City staff to route and execute agreements electronically through a process that is timely and convenient. The anticipated cost for the next year of eSignature services and associated licenses for DocuSign is approximately $31,000 and is pending a quote from the vendor. The desired DocuSign electronic signature platform and associated licenses must be acquired through Carahsoft. In addition to the SecureWorks and DocuSign purchases noted above, IT Division staff may need to make other software purchases through Carahsoft throughout the year. In years past, a number of software systems ranging from cyber security applications to agenda management software have been purchased through this vendor, as Carahsoft often provides the most competitive pricing and/or is able to provide government pricing. Obtaining City Council approval .. .. Item 15 Page 1 of 4 for the entire contract amount now would facilitate necessary future purchases and avoid unnecessary delays. Each of the purchases made through Carahsoft would still require review and approvals on a case-by-case basis by the City’s purchasing Department, Finance Director and/or City Administrator as appropriate. Fiscal Impact The fiscal impact is not-to-exceed $150,000. Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund, IT Division, Repairs & Maintenance - IT Account No. 011-010-110-529110 for the current fiscal year. Attachments 1.

Item 15 Page 4 of 4 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:July 18, 2023 From:Michael Earl, Director of Human Resources Department:Human Resources Submitted by:Michael Earl, Director of Human Resources Subject Hybrid Work Policy Recommendation A. Adopt Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual Policy V-08 -Hybrid Work Program; and B. Authorize the City Administrator to execute and distribute the Policy to all City Employees. Background The Human Resources Department is responsible for maintaining and administering the City’s Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual which contains a variety of policies affecting City employees. One of the significant impacts from the 2020 global public health pandemic was a change in how workplaces conduct business. Across every industry, remote work, Zoom meetings, and flexible work environments became necessary for continued operations. Post-pandemic, these changes have become the norm and are both more accepted by management and expected by workers. Managed properly, hybrid work programs have proven to be successful in maintaining productivity and improving employee morale and retention. Staff is recommending City Council approval of a Hybrid Work Policy for City employees that would allow for implementation of a schedule that combines both on-site and remote work. The key factors in determining an employee’s participation in the City’s Hybrid Work Program include, but are not limited to: •Compatibility of remote work with the employee’s job duties and responsibilities. •Whether the employee has the knowledge needed to perform their job duties remotely. •Whether the employee can perform their job duties remotely including: o Completing expected work and producing deliverables with minimal supervision. o Responding to inquiries from customers, including co-workers, in a timely manner. o Demonstrated ability to establish appropriate priorities and manage time effectively. o Entering, reviewing, processing and/or approving information and data accurately and timely. o Properly receiving and following direction from supervisors. •Employees having an overall rating of “Satisfactory” or the equivalent on their most recent performance evaluation (not applicable to newly hired employees). •Departmental need for the employee to perform work on-site or to have minimum on-site staffing levels. •Whether an employee with supervisory responsibilities can effectively communicate, interact, and oversee the work of others. •Whether the employee has the equipment, internet connection/access, and other information technology resources needed to work effectively from the remote work site, .. .. Item 16 Page 1 of 7 and the proposed remote work site allows the employee to perform productive work in a safe manner. Requests for participation in the Hybrid Work Program would require approval from the employee’s supervisor, Department Director, and Human Resources. Under the policy, remote work would be limited to no more than 50% of the employee’s weekly scheduled hours. An employee’s participation is discretionary and could be denied, revised, and/or discontinued by City management. The draft policy was provided to the City’s various employee bargaining groups for the opportunity to comment and/or meet and confer; each of which acknowledged receipt, were supportive of the policy, and/or had no suggested revisions. Establishing a formalized Hybrid Work Policy defines the parameters for participation in the program and contributes to the recruitment and retention of a quality workforce. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. Attachments 1. Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual Policy V-08 - Hybrid Work Program .. .. Item 16 Page 2 of 7 City of Vernon, California Human Resources Policies and Procedures _______________________ Director Human Resources _________________ City Administrator Number: V-08 Effective Date:_________________ HYBRID WORK PROGRAM PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to establish a more flexible work schedule, attract and retain a high quality workforce, enhance employee quality of life and work/life balance issues, reduce automobile-related air pollution, energy consumption, and traffic congestion, enhance the City's efforts to employ and accommodate employees with disabilities, including employees who have temporary or continuing work restrictions; reduce office space, parking space, support and complement a trip reduction program, and to address general and/or public health emergencies. DEFINITION: Hybrid Work is an arrangement whereby an employee performs the duties of their position in the office or worksite and from a remote location other than their regular workplace for a specified period. Hybrid work may be granted or assigned under appropriate circumstances to employees whose job duties are suited to such an arrangement. This Hybrid Work Policy is supplemental to the City’s Administrative Policy Manual, Section 5.1 Information Technology - Electronic Equipment and Systems Use Policy. POLICY: Hybrid Work is not a vested employee benefit or right, and an employee's participation in the Hybrid Work Program is generally considered voluntary and requires supervisory approval in advance. Requests for Hybrid Work need Department Director and Director of Human Resources approval prior to an employee participating in the program. The City retains the right to refuse to make Hybrid Work available to an employee or to terminate a Hybrid Work arrangement at any time. All remote access to the City's systems shall be secured by a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and shall be used in accordance with the City’s Electronic Equipment and Systems Use Policy, Section 8, Virtual Private Network (VPN) Remote Access to City Resources. Employees participating in the Hybrid Work Program shall use a City-owned computer for remote work. Certain limited exceptions may be granted with approval from the Information Technology Division. The use of unsecured publicly accessible Wi-Fi networks while working remotely is discouraged unless there are urgent or emergent circumstances necessitating their use.

Employee salary and benefits, including application of sick leave and vacation leave accrual and usage shall not change or be modified due to participation in Hybrid Work; nor will the employee's job responsibilities change due to participation in Hybrid Work. Professionalism, job responsibilities, and work output expectations and requirements will continue to follow City standards. The amount of time an employee is expected to work will not change due to participation in Hybrid Work. In the event the physical presence of an employee is required at a work location, function, meeting, or other event, while participating in Hybrid Work, the employee is expected to report to the work location, even if doing so occurs during normally scheduled remote work hours. Hybrid work employees must manage personal responsibilities such as childcare and other dependent care at their own expense (i.e. cost of childcare/dependent care during work hours) and in a manner that allows job responsibilities to be successfully met as if they were working at their primary workplace. Participation in hybrid work may not be used as a substitution for child, dependent, or elder care, or for other purposes when the use of paid or unpaid leave is appropriate. In the event an employee’s availability changes on a remote workday, they are to notify their supervisor to request use of appropriate leave. The total hours/days an employee may work remotely under this Hybrid Work Policy shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of their regularly scheduled work hours per week. Employees must remain available and accessible during periods of remote work in a similar manner to that expected while at the worksite. The City Administrator, or designee, shall be the final approval authority for Hybrid Work requests and there shall be no appeal from their decision. The laws relating to workers’ compensation and insurance shall be applicable to the City and affected employee. Employees participating in the Hybrid Work Program are expected to maintain their remote workspace in a safe manner, free from hazards. The City will provide each employee with a Safety Checklist to be utilized to assess their remote workspace and shall be submitted with their Hybrid Work Program Request Form. ELIGIBILITY Full-time employees working in positions deemed by management suitable for remote work may be considered to participate in a Hybrid Work arrangement. Not all positions are appropriate or feasible for remote work. Newly hired employees and temporary workers may be included at the discretion of the Department Director. To be eligible to participate in the Hybrid Work program an employee must have no record of performance problems or disciplinary actions, including attendance issues, within the preceding two years.

No additional costs shall be incurred as a result of participation in the Hybrid Work program. Hybrid Work employees will be required to designate a specific workstation within their homes, and any modifications to spaces within the employee’s home will be at the employee’s expense.

Following review by the Department Director, request forms are submitted to the Director of Human Resources for review. The approval of Hybrid Work schedules shall be made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Department Director with approval of the Director of Human Resources.
