Thank you. Attachment c: Sergio Canales Resolution No. 2012-66, 2013-89 RECEIVED OCT 0 9 2013 CITY CLERK'S OFFICE STAFF REPORT RECEIVED OCT 0 9 2013 CITY ADMINISTRATION COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT DATE: October 15, 2013 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson, irector of Community Services & Water RE: Amend Resolution 2012-66 by deleting subsection F from section 4 to remove a condition of approval for Tentative Parcel Map No. 71920 for Bandini XC, LLC, located at 5553 Bandini Boulevard It is recommended that the City Council: 1) Find that approval of the Tentative Parcel Map Modification proposed in this staff report is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15315, Class 15 "Minor land division of industrial property into four or fewer parcels", of the CEQA Guidelines and Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment because removing a requirement to install of a limited number of fire hydrants cannot cause a significant impact on the environment where there is already more than sufficient fire suppression support available. 2) Adopt the attached resolution deleting the condition of approval set forth in Subsection F of Section 4 of Resolution No. 2012-66. This will allow Bandini XC, LLC to still subdivide property located at 5553 Bandini Boulevard in conformance with the City's subdivision ordinance and Subdivision Map Act, but to remove an otherwise duplicative condition of approval which requires fire hydrants to be placed in specified locations. BACKGROUND On May 15, 2012, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2012-66 approving, with conditions, Tentative Parcel Map No. 71920 for Bandini XC, LLC, to subdivide property located at 5553 Bandini Boulevard in conformance with the City's subdivision ordinance and the Subdivision Map Act. The project entailed the development of a 536,400 square foot warehouse, manufacturing, and office building and associated parking on a 21.26 acre site. The new building is to be sited in the City of Bell, with a small portion (the western -most portion) of the site situated within the City of Vernon, consisting primarily of parking. Bandini XC, LLC is requesting the deletion of the condition of approval set forth in Subsection F of the Tentative Parcel Map that was issued on May 15, 2012 pursuant to Resolution No. 2012-66, which states: ' £) Bandini XC shall have fire hydrants placed every 300-feet along the eastside of Pennington Way and the north side of Bandini Boulevard frontage in the City of Vernon." Staff recommends the deletion because the purposes of subsection F have been already satisfied because the applicant has already constructed the following conditions established by the City of Bell in its approval of its own subdivision map: "8. Fire hydrant spacing shall be 300 feet and shall meet the following requirements: a) No portion of lot frontage shall be more than 200 feet via vehicular access from a public fire hydrant. b) No portion of a building shall exceed 400 feet via vehicular access from a properly spaced public fire hydrant. c) Additional hydrants will be required if hydrant spacing exceeds specified distances. d) When cul-de-sac depth exceeds 200 feet on a commercial street, hydrants shall be required at the corner and mid -block. e) A cul-de-sac shall not be more than 500 feet in length, when serving land zoned for commercial use." Both the Community Services and Fire Department staff believe that the condition set forth in Subsection F of the tentative parcel map can be removed and still protect the health and safety of the community because the Applicant has complied with the City of Bell's condition of approval and because onsite private fire hydrants were installed around the building. Section 28.31 of the Vernon Code states that the City Council may approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a tentative map, subject to any or all of the conditions recommended by the City engineer, or subject to other conditions which the City Council deems proper. The City Council may impose conditions on the tentative map or may find and determine that any of the foregoing provisions of this article should be modified or omitted.

The current condition reads: 6. The applicant shall have fire hydrants placed every 300-feet along the eastside of Pennington Way and the north side of Bandini Boulevard frontage in the City of Vernon. We are requesting removal of the condition based on the fact that we believe the spirit of the requirement has been satisfied through the compliance with an identical condition applied to the project by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. For your reference, I have attached Condition #8 for the County of LA Fire Department pertinent to hydrant spacing. As referenced in the footing, this was attached as part of City of Bell Resolution 2012-44-PC which approved the Tentative Parcel Map. Because we had a duplicate, identical condition on the map (Vernon and the LA County FD), requiring hydrants every 300 feet along a frontage to the property, we relied upon the County Fire Department plancheck and field inspection to ensure that the condition was effectively satisfied. On a project of this type, hydrant placement is ultimately a subjective call by the Fire Department servicing the site depending upon accessibility, proximity to the building, and ease of use for their apparatus. That said, the LACFD staff responsible for ascertaining fire protection requirements for the site may have selectively moved hydrant placement closer or further to the building or at differing intervals along the street frontage based on strategic considerations as to how they would fight a fire. The end result is a hydrant placement that may not result in intervals of precisely 300 feet along a given frontage, but which, nevertheless, provides the optimal strategic location of hydrants and water service as determined by the Fire Department. That state of affairs notwithstanding, I understand that it is a legal and logistical matter that the condition must be removed from the prior approval (if it has not been precisely applied or satisfied) in order to proceed with the recordation of the map. That is the reason for my request. 6272 E. Pacific Coast Hwy, Suite E, Long Beach, CA 90803 W W W.PAC-INDUSTRIAL.COM Page 2 Thank you for your attention to this matter and I would be glad to provide any additional background that you may require.
