RECOMMENDATION: Waive $50,000 in permitting fees and associated costs to provide temporary barricades for businesses to allow outdoor dining areas until December 31, 2021. FISCAL IMPACT: $23,000 has been appropriated in FY2020-2021. $27,000 will be required in the FY 2021-2022 budget. Amount Budgeted: $0 Additional Appropriation: $23,000 has been appropriated in FY 2020-2021 Account Number: 106-400-4202-5202 BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATION: At the September 1, 2020, City Council meeting, staff updated City Council on the City's business assistance in response to the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order "Reopening Safer at Work and in the Community". The update sought Council's concurrence to share ongoing costs with businesses associated with temporary barricades used to provide outdoor dining opportunities in the public rights -of -way. As a result, Council concurred that businesses issued temporary permits for street and parking closures share 50-percent of the ongoing maintenance costs from January 1, 2021 through March 31, 2021 and 100-percent thereafter. Many El Segundo restaurants spent hundreds or thousands of dollars to provide outdoor dining to recoup some of the economic losses they incurred during shutdown. Thus, it was staffs hope that L.A. County would continue to ease restrictions and open more of the economy as the COVID pandemic subsided. However, since September 1st, L.A. County has seen increases in COVID cases and related deaths, resulting in mandated closures of what was initially allowed to reopen, including outdoor dining areas. This has negatively impacted El Segundo restaurants and their revenue as they continue to struggle to stay in business. Fortunately, on January 29, 2021, L.A. County revised its Order to reopen segments of the economy once again, including outdoor dining. To assist El Segundo's restaurants in their reopening endeavors and minimize their costs, staff believes it is in the best interest of the City and the local economy to suspend the cost sharing requirement. Thus, Staff recommends the City continue to bear the ongoing barricade costs until end of 2021. 43 Fee Waiver for Temporary Barricades February 2, 2021 Page 2 of 2 CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 1: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Objective A: El Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for businesses and the community.

FISCAL IMPACT: Amount Budgeted: $20,000 Additional Appropriation: No Account Number(s): 001-400-2102-6214 BACKGROUND: During the FY 2016-17 Strategic Planning Sessions, City Council directed staff to look into conducting two separate resident and business satisfaction surveys and align these surveys with the concept of the Net Promoter Score (NPS).

The goal of this annual survey is to measure the City's customer service performance, identify areas of success and areas that need improvement, and take the necessary actions to continually improve. Survey Methodology The NPS provides the core measurement for customer experience. In order to calculate the City's NPS, survey respondents are asked the following key NPS question (along with other questions). Resident Survey NPS Question: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on your personal experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo to a friend or family member considering moving to the area? Business Survey NPS Question: On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is very likely, 5 is neutral and 0 is very unlikely, based on your companies experiences, how likely would you recommend the City of El Segundo to a business associate or colleague? 6 45 Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey February 2, 2021 Page 2 of 6 Respondents are grouped as follows: Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal enthusiasts who will keep engaging and refer others, fueling possible growth. Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to alternative offerings. Detractors (score 0- 6) are unhappy customers who can damage a firm's and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth. Subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters yields the "Net Promoter Score", which can range from a low of -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to a high of 100 (if every customer is a Promoter). DISCUSSION: Each year, staff reviews the survey results and takes actions to improve areas a concern. Below is a summary of the purpose and objectives for both the residential and business surveys, review of 2019 survey results and responsive actions taken, and 2020 survey results. Online surveys were sent via email to 4,978 business contacts and 2,579 residents. In addition to online surveys, traditional paper surveys were sent via the US postal service to 1,539 residents (properties/households) for whom email addresses were not available. Residential Survey This residential survey was conducted to assess resident satisfaction with City public services. The objectives of the resident survey was as follows: a Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes. O Measure the City's image and general reputation. a Record customer opinions as to how the City can better serve residents. Assess the extent of customer loyalty based on the Net Promoter Score. • Provide a framework to build integrated customer satisfaction. Review of 2019 Survey Results and Actions Taken The 2019 survey results identified two areas of concern for residents. The following are examples of steps the City has taken to address the concerns raised: Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey February 2, 2021 Page 3 of 6 1. Enhanced Communications and Strategic Planning (Responsiveness and Vision of City Council) ■ Held public strategic planning and budget sessions to obtain community feedback. ■ Provided comprehensive communications during the coronavirus pandemic including: daily live updates, bulletins to the community, town hall meetings, development of COVID-19 webpages, and frequent public service announcements. ■ Updated and continued to implement the City of El Segundo Strategic Plan. ■ Continued to implement the City's Communication Plan, including a new City website, and robust community outreach initiatives. 2. Improved Water and Wastewater Customer Service • Implemented an e-payment platform that is mobile friendly and offers improved functionality, including a secure pay -by -phone feature. ■ Improved process efficiencies and increased frequency of communication to address customer concerns and questions in a timely manner. 2020 Resident Survey Results and Key Findings A total of 88% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (63%) or "Passives" (25%). A total of 12% are "Detractors". When comparing the results of the 2019 survey with this year's results, the results remained consistent year over year. In 2019, the City earned a 52% NPS and in 2020 earned a 51 % NPS. The percentage of Detractors decreased by 2% this year. The two areas of concern raised in 2019 continued in 2020 due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00: 1. Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council (3.68) 2. Water and Sewer Billing Department Customer Service (3.87) Detractors were most concerned about the cost of living and taxes. Detractors were concerned about noise pollution, the airport, and the desire for a more resident -friendly environment. The survey also asked specific questions soliciting resident perceptions on particular areas of City operations, including police, fire, recreation & parks, library services, City 47 Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey February 2, 2021 Page 4 of 6 infrastructure, utility billing, and City Council. These questions were scored on a response scale of Very Dissatisfied (1), Dissatisfied (2), Neutral (3), Satisfied (4) or Very Satisfied (5). The following areas are viewed as modest strengths by the majority of Residents: (4.00 to 4.33): ■ Responsiveness, knowledge, and competency of fire & paramedic services (4.60) e Maintenance and upkeep of recreation and parks facilities (4.32) v Quality of recreation and parks programs offered (4.13) e Resources and services provided by the Public Library (4.18) ■ Availability & responsiveness of the Police Department (4.52) BUSINESS SURVEY RESULTS Purpose and Objectives This study was conducted primarily to assess business satisfaction with the City's products and services. The study was designed to survey a cross-section of the City's businesses. The survey and its measures were benchmarked to the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, with the following specifics objectives: ® Assess customer satisfaction with multiple attributes. A Measure City image and general reputation. e Assess the distinctive competence of the City overall. ■ Record customer opinions as to how the City can serve them better. a Assess the extent of customer loyalty. • Provide a framework to build an integrated Customer Satisfaction and Value Measurement System. Review of 2019 Business Survey Results and Actions Taken 2019 survey results identified the following as the top two areas of concern for our businesses. The following are examples of the steps that the City has taken to address concerns: Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey February 2, 2021 Page 5 of 6 1. In process of implementing new software for improved customer service & new website functionality. Implemented new online forms and applications and processes on the new website to provide easier to access documents and streamlined services. ■ Quickly pivoted during COVID-19 to work with businesses for temporary use permits for outdoor use of space. ■ Created an internal customer service group in the Development Services Department to share best practices, improve communications and overall customer service experience. 2. Updated Zoning Codes to respond to customer needs. ■ Revised setbacks and encroachments in major commercial zones that allow more efficient use of land and permit outdoor amenities for commercial users. ■ In -lieu parking program for the Smoky Hollow district to allow more flexibility for conversions and new development. ■ Completely revised regulations for the multi -family residential overlay that removes obstacles to develop residential on the north fringe of the Smoky Hollow district. 2020 Business Survey Results: A total of 84% of all respondents are either "Promoters" (63%) or "Passives" (21 %). A total of 16% are "Detractors". The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 47%, which is 7% lower than last year. This is still a very good score given the fact that secondary research suggests that cities using NIPS will score in the 23% to 28% range. In the first year of this survey, the NPS was 32%. This year's survey indicates two areas that represent concerns due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00 as follows: ■ Business Development and Attraction Policies (3.78) ■ City Zoning Policies (3.64) The primary concern among Detractors, though giving scores of 6 or less in terms of likelihood to recommend El Segundo to other businesses owner focuses on supporting small businesses. We all know, this past year, small businesses have been especially hit hard by the impact of COVID-19. Annual Customer Satisfaction Survey February 2, 2021 Page 6 of 6 The following areas continued to be viewed as modest strengths by the majority of the businesses: Responsiveness, knowledge and competency of Fire Department & Field Inspection services (4.22) i Availability & Responsiveness of Police Department (4.26) • Business License Renewal Process (4.31) NEXT STEPS The executive team will develop a plan to address areas in the residential and business surveys that scored below 4.0 and are considered NPS "Detractors" or areas of "Issues and Opportunities". Staff will incorporate these actions into the City's FY 2020-21 Strategic Work Plan.

Respondents were selected from the master survey list supplied by City of El Segundo. A final sample of customers was obtained. We sent 1,752 invitations, 72 were undeliverable, 4 opted out, for a total of 1,676 sent out. We had a 18% response rate or 310 total responses. Mail surveys were also sent out from the City of El Segundo offices. A total of 217 residents responded via mail. A total of 527 residents responded to some portion of the survey. There were 521 responses to the Net Promoter Score question. Results As we have discussed in the past, Net Promoter Score is a tool to measure customer loyalty and the predictive indicators for customer defection. The City of El Segundo's NPS score is 51%. This is a respectable score given the fact that secondary research indicates scores are typically lower for public institutions. When compared with the private sector, the score is not much lower than the best companies who range between 60 and 75%. When comparing the results of the 2019 survey with this year's results, the NPS dropped slightly by 1%. Last year, the city earned a 52% NPS. The percentage of Detractors decreased by 2% this year however the percentage of passives increased by 5%. Targeted action plans should also be developed for select companies who make up the Detractor Residents. The detailed responses will be provided as part of this report in a separate file. City Managers are encouraged to examine this raw feedback in more detail. When asked, "How much has the city improved over the last year?", 50% of the respondents indicated they have experienced some improvement in the last year.

There are three areas which represent an Issue & Opportunity due to their mean scores coming in below 4.00: • Responsiveness and overall vision of City Council • Condition of City Infrastructure: streets, sidewalks and public facilities • Water and Sewer Billing Department Customer Service (complaint handling & responsiveness) Detractors were most concerned cost of living and taxes.

Passives City of El Segundo needs to develop plans to address some of the �Dehactors concerns of the Resident Detractors (Those giving scores of 6 or less). � NPS Some effort should also be made to address some of the concerns of the Passives (scores of 7 & 8). The comments of the individual Detractors and Passives provide specific guidance. Each comment should be reviewed independently. NPS is a customer centric process; meaning that action plans address individual customer concerns.

There are vast amounts of fiber infrastructure throughout the greater El Segundo area, Los Angeles, and southern California, but the direct residential and retail use of this infrastructure is restricted as most are limited to the available "last mile" connections. There is limited access to the higher capacity digital highways that delivers broadband into the community. Once digital traffic is off regional fiber-optic networks and into the community, almost all El Segundo customer connections are facilitated across legacy networks of copper telephone wire and coaxial cable. As a result, speed and quality of service in different parts of the city vary considerably based on DSL limitations and copper -based oversubscription. The cost to access adequate broadband is a stated deterrent for meaningful business adoption. El Segundo is a city of edges and corridors that effectively separate the broadband haves from the have nots. Through a process of identifying community needs, engaging stakeholders, designing the network, determining the right business models and public -private partnerships, to sourcing funds, we will discuss various options to determine the best path forward to implementing and managing broadband offerings. Community broadband projects are challenging, they are multi -faceted projects that involve many stakeholders, public organizations and private broadband providers. To that end, there is no simple solution. 73 City Broadband Discussion February 2, 2021 Page 2 of 2 DISCUSSION: This is a great opportunity to connect various telecommunication, wireless and cable providers who can provide valuable input to improving broadband capabilities for the City of El Segundo. They will bring next generation broadband concepts and help to develop broadband networks with the goal of promoting economic and community development. This time will be used to discuss available options, possibilities for growth, and answer questions.

RECOMMENDATION: Receive and file 2020 Economic Development Annual Report.

Local retailers had to dramatically reduce in-store capacity and ramp up online capabilities, restaurants shifted rapidly to outdoor dining and at some points, takeout -only, hotel occupancy was reduced by nearly 50% due to travel restrictions, and commercial offices grappled with the transition to a remote work environment. To meet this moment of upheaval, the City's economic development team, rapidly reshaped its well -planned economic development strategy in 2020 to focus on supporting businesses to reopen, sustain, and in some cases expand operations during the pandemic, with an emphasis on attracting new businesses and supporting the hospitality and retail industry in their resiliency and ability to pivot as they navigate transformational change during the pandemic. Economic Development Annual Report 2020 presents the team's dedicated efforts to become an essential resource for El Segundo's business community during this critical time. At the onset of the pandemic, the City hosted a Downtown Business Virtual Town Hall and invited businesses to discuss a path forward to support the economic vitality of Downtown. Staff immediately set up webpages on ElSegundoBusiness.com providing businesses with critical updates and COVID-19 related information — everything from available relief funding to guides on the latest protocols and industry -specific guidance. The team assisted restaurants by promoting the Chamber of Commerce -led Gundo-to- Go program and provided signage and designated parking spaces to encourage take-out orders. The City quickly launched a street -closure pilot program to provide outdoor dining space. As a core component of the City's economic development program, staff focused resources on strategic initiatives to attract, retain and grow new businesses, and create 10 2020 Economic Development Annual Report November 3, 2020 Page 2 of 2 jobs in El Segundo with an emphasis on industry diversification.

TITLE: Resolution opposing proposed housing legislation. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution opposing proposed Senate Bill 9 (Atkins) and Senate Bill 10 (Weiner). FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: The California Alliance of Local Electeds (CALE), a network of mayors, councilmembers, and other elected officials who advocate in Sacramento on significant issues including the preservation of local control are asking city leaders across the state to adopt resolutions opposing SB 9 and SB 10. The City of El Segundo seeks to adopt a resolution to support CALE's call to action and send a strong message to legislators. The legislature of the State of California has proposed several bills addressing housing and local zoning issues that could potentially preempt the City's local control over land use and zoning issues. During the 2020 legislative session, the El Segundo City Council opposed Senate Bill 1120 and Senate Bill 902 seeking to threaten and erode local control. These bills have been reintroduced by the same authors as SB 9 (Atkins) and SB 10 (Weiner). SB 9 would allow for duplexes and lot splits in single-family residential zones to be allowed by right. This was previously SB 1120. SB 10 would authorize a local government to pass an ordinance, notwithstanding any local restrictions on adopting zoning ordinances to allow for up to 10-unit apartment buildings using a streamlined, expedited process. This bill was previously SB 902. DISCUSSION: The resolution aligns with the City of El Segundo's Legislative Platform that strongly opposes state and federal legislation that seeks to preempt the City's local authority. 11 136 Resolution Opposing Proposed Housing Bills February 2, 2021 Page 2 of 2 CITY STRATEGIC PLAN COMPLIANCE: Goal 5: Champion Economic Development and Fiscal Sustainability Objective A: El Segundo promotes economic growth and vitality for businesses and the community.

Resolution 2. Senate Bill 9 3. Senate Bill 10 137 RESOLUTION NO. _ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED HOUSING LEGISLATION SENATE BILLS 9 AND 10 AND EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR ACTION TO FURTHER STRENGTHEN LOCAL DEMOCRACY, AUTHORITY AND CONTROL. The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows: WHEREAS, the legislature of the State of California, has proposed a number of bills addressing a range of housing issues; WHEREAS, pending before the State legislature is Senate Bill 9 (Atkins), which if enacted into law would require cities and counties, including charter cities, to provide for the ministerial ('by right') approval of a housing development containing two residential units (a duplex), and a parcel map dividing a lot in to two equal parts ('lot split'), for residential use; WHEREAS, SB 9, if enacted into law, would eliminate public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council and public notice of such projects, inasmuch as the proposed projects would only require administrative review; WHEREAS, SB 9 also proposes to provide ministerial approval of a parcel map (four or less parcels) for a lot split, and thereby amend sections of the Subdivision Map Act by extending from 12 to 24 months the additional time period of an approved or conditionally approved Tentative Map; WHEREAS, Senate Bill 10 (Weiner) would, notwithstanding any local resrictions on adopting zoning ordinances, authorize a local government to pass an ordinance to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel and threatens to decimate the City's single-family neighborhoods; WHEREAS, SB 10 does not address some critical issues that have caused and exacerbated the housing crisis, the state's 1995 Costa Hawkins law, which restricts the ability of a local jurisdiction to expand affordability measures in rental units, and the prevalence of privately -owned vacant lots and housing units; WHEREAS, SB 10 projects have the potential to attract high -income people who do not necessarily use public transportation into newer luxury buildings adjacent to transit, bringing in more cars while providing insufficient parking; WHEREAS, these bills usurp the authority of the City to determine for itself the land use policies and practices that best suit the City and its residents and instead impose mandates that do not take into account the needs and differences of jurisdictions throughout the State, as well as imposing unfunded mandates on jurisdictions for actions that are not in their best interests; Page 1 of 2 138 WHEREAS, for example, the ability of the City to determine for itself which projects require review beyond a ministerial approval, what parking requirements are appropriate for various locales within their jurisdiction, what plans and programs are suitable and practical for each community rather than having these decisions imposed upon the City without regard to the City's circumstances is a matter of great importance to the City of EI Segundo, and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Segundo feels strongly that our local government is best able to assess the needs of our community and objects to the proliferation of State legislation that deprives the City of that ability. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of El Segundo: SECTION 1: The City Council hereby registers its strong opposition to the following bills that usurp local control: ■ SB 9 (Atkins) — Housing development: approvals ■ SB 10 (Weiner) — Planning and zoning: housing development: density The City Council hereby registers its equally strong opposition to the current practice of the State legislature of proposing and passing multitudes of bills that directly impact and interfere with the ability of Cities to control their own destiny through the use of the zoning authority that has been granted to them; and The City Council hereby declares that, should the State continue to pass legislation that attacks local municipal authority, control and revenue, the City of El Segundo will support actions such as a ballot measure that would limit the State ability to control local activities and strengthen local democracy and authority. SECTION 2: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution. SECTION 3: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of , 2021.

Hensley, City Attorney Page 3 of 2 SENATE BILL No. 9 Introduced by Senators Atkins, Caballero, Rubio, and Wiener (Coauthors: Senators Gonzalez and McGuire) (Coauthor: Assembly Member Robert Rivas) December 7, 2020 An act to amend Section 66452.6 of, and to add Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 to, the Government Code, relating to land use. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST S13 9, as introduced, Atkins. Housing development: approvals. The Planning and Zoning Law provides for the creation of accessory dwelling units by local ordinance, or, if a local agency has not adopted an ordinance, by ministerial approval, in accordance with specified standards and conditions. This bill, among other things, would require a proposed housing development containing 2 residential units within a single-family residential zone to be considered ministerially, without discretionary review or hearing, if the proposed housing development meets certain requirements, including, but not limited to, that the proposed housing development would not require demolition or alteration of housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income, that the proposed housing development does not allow for the demolition of more than 25% of the existing exterior structural walls, except as provided, and that the development is not located within a historic district, is not included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, or is not within a site that is legally designated or listed as a city or county landmark or historic property or district. The bill would set forth what a local agency can and cannot require in approving the construction of 2 residential units, including, but not 99 141 SB 9 limited to, authorizing a city or county to impose objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design standards, as defined, unless those standards would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of up to 2 units, prohibiting the imposition of setback requirements under certain circumstances, and setting maximum setback requirements under all other circumstances. The Subdivision Map Act vests the authority to regulate and control the design and improvement of subdivisions in the legislative body of a local agency and sets forth procedures governing the local agency's processing, approval, conditional approval or disapproval, and filing of tentative, final, and parcel maps, and the modification of those maps. Under the Subdivision Map Act, an approved or conditionally approved tentative snap expires 24 months after its approval or conditional approval or after any additional period of time as prescribed by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 12 months, except as provided. This bill, among other things, would require a city or county to ministerially approve a parcel snap or tentative and final map for an urban lot split that meets certain requirements, including, but not limited to, that the urban lot split would not require the demolition or alteration of housing that is subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of moderate, low, or very low income, that the parcel is located within a residential zone, and that the parcel is not located within a historic district, is not included on the State Historic Resources Inventory, or is not within a site that is legally designated or listed as a city or county landmark or historic property or district. The bill would set forth what a local agency can and cannot require in approving an urban lot split, including, but not limited to, authorizing a city or county to impose objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design standards, as defined, unless those standards would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of 2 units on either of the resulting parcels, prohibiting the imposition of setback requirements under certain circumstances, and setting maximum setback requirements under all other circumstances. The bill would also extend the limit on the additional period that may be provided by ordinance, as described above, from 12 months to 24 months and would make other conforming or nonsubstantive changes. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, an environmental impact report on a project that it 99 142 SB 9 proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA does not apply to the approval of ministerial projects. This bill, by establishing the ministerial review processes described above, would thereby exempt the approval of projects subject to those processes from CEQA. The California Coastal Act of 1976 provides for the planning and regulation of development, under a coastal development permit process, within the coastal zone, as defined, that shall be based on various coastal resources planning and management policies set forth in the act. This bill would exempt a local government from being required to hold public hearings for coastal development permit applications for housing developments and urban lot splits pursuant to the above provisions. By increasing the duties of local agencies with respect to land use regulations, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program. The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: yes. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: 1 SECTION 1.

Section 66452.6 of the Government Code is amended 9 to read: 10 66452.6. (a) (1) An approved or conditionally approved 11 tentative map shall expire 24 months after its approval or 12 conditional approval, or after any additional period of time as may 13 be prescribed by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 14 24 months. However, if the subdivider is required to expend two 15 hundred thirty-six thousand seven hundred ninety dollars 16 ($236,790) or more to construct, improve, or finance the 17 construction or improvement of public improvements outside the 18 property boundaries of the tentative map, excluding improvements 19 of public rights-of-wayeh that abut the boundary of the 20 property to be subdivided and—ffhieh that are reasonably related 21 to the development of that property, each filing of a final map 22 authorized by Section 66456.1 shall extend the expiration of the 23 approved or conditionally approved tentative snap by3.6 48 months 24 from the date of its expiration, as provided in this section, or the 25 date of the previously filed final map, whichever is later. The 26 extensions shall not extend the tentative map more than 10 years 27 from its approval or conditional approval. However, a tentative 28 map on property subject to a development agreement authorized 29 by Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 65864) of Chapter 4 of 30 Division 1 may be extended for the period of time provided for in 31 the agreement, but not beyond the duration of the agreement.

However, the length of the moratorium shall not exceed 14 five years. 15 (2) The length of time specified in paragraph (1) shall be 16 extended for up to three years, but in no event beyond January 1, 17 1992, during the pendency of any lawsuit in which the subdivider 18 asserts, and the local agency ._� that approved or conditionally 19 approved the tentative map denies, the existence or application of 20 a development moratorium to the tentative map. 21 (3) Once a development moratorium is terminated, the map 22 shall be valid for the same period of time as was left to run on the 23 snap at the time that the moratorium was imposed. However, if the 24 remaining time is less than 120 days, the map shall be valid for 25 120 days following the termination of the moratorium. 26 (c) The period of time specified in subdivision (a), including 27 any extension thereof granted pursuant to subdivision (e), shall 28 not include the period of time during which a lawsuit involving 29 the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map is or was 30 pending in a court of competent jurisdiction, if the stay of the time 31 period is approved by the local agency pursuant to this section. 32 After service of the initial petition or complaint in the lawsuit upon 33 the local agency, the subdivider may apply to the local agency for 34 a stay pursuant to the local agency's adopted procedures. Within 35 40 days after receiving the application, the local agency shall either 36 stay the time period for up to five years or deny the requested stay. 37 The local agency may, by ordinance, establish procedures for 38 reviewing the requests, including, but not limited to, notice and 39 hearing requirements, appeal procedures, and other administrative 40 requirements. 99 151 SB 9 —12 1 (d) The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved 2 tentative map shall terminate all proceedings and no final map or 3 parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within 4 the tentative map shall be filed with the legislative body without 5 first processing a new tentative map. Once a timely filing is made, 6 subsequent actions of the local agency, including, but not limited 7 to, processing, approving, and recording, may lawfully occur after 8 the date of expiration of the tentative snap. Delivery to the county 9 surveyor or city engineer shall be deemed a timely filing for 10 purposes of this section. 11 (e) Upon application of the subdivider filed to before the 12 expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative 13 map, the time at which the snap expires pursuant to subdivision 14 (a) may be extended by the legislative body or by an advisory 15 agency authorized to approve or conditionally approve tentative 16 maps for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years. The 17 period of extension specified in this subdivision shall be in addition 18 to the period of time provided by subdivision (a). Prior to Before 19 the expiration of an approved or conditionally approved tentative 20 map, upon an application by the subdivider to extend that map, 21 the map shall automatically be extended for 60 days or until the 22 application for the extension is approved, conditionally approved, 23 or denied, whichever occurs first. If the advisory agency denies a 24 subdivider's application for an extension, the subdivider may 25 appeal to the legislative body within 15 days after the advisory 26 agency has denied the extension. 27 (f) For purposes of this section, a development moratorium 28 includes a water or sewer moratorium, or a water and sewer 29 moratorium, as well as other actions of public agencies whieh that 30 regulate land use, development, or the provision of services to the 31 land, including the public agency with the authority to approve or 32 conditionally approve the tentative map, which thereafter prevents, 33 prohibits, or delays the approval of a final or parcel snap. A 34 development moratorium shall also be deemed to exist for purposes 35 of this section for any period of time during which a condition 36 imposed by the city or county could not be satisfied because of 37 either of the following: 38 (1) The condition was one that, by its nature, necessitated action 39 by the city or county, and the city or county either did not take the 40 necessary action or by its own action or inaction was prevented or 99 152 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 —13— SB 9 delayed in taking the necessary actionprior o before expiration of the tentative map. (2) The condition necessitates acquisition of real property or any interest in real property from a public agency, other than the city or county that approved or conditionally approved the tentative map, and that other public agency fails or refuses to convey the property interest necessary to satisfy the condition. However, nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require any public agency to convey any interest in real property owned by it. A development moratorium specified in this paragraph shall be deemed to have been imposed either on the date of approval or conditional approval of the tentative map, if evidence was included in the public record that the public agency whieh that owns or controls the real property or any interest therein may refuse to convey that property or interest, or on the date that the public agency that owns or controls the real property or any interest therein receives an offer by the subdivider to purchase that property or interest for fair market value, whichever is later. A development moratorium specified in this paragraph shall extend the tentative map up to the maximum period as set forth in subdivision (b), but not later than January 1, 1992, so long as the public agency whieh that owns or controls the real property or any interest therein fails or refuses to convey the necessary property interest, regardless of the reason for the failure or refusal, except that the development moratorium shall be deemed to terminate 60 days after the public agency has officially made, and communicated to the subdivider, a written offer or commitment binding on the agency to convey the necessary property interest for a fair market value, paid in a reasonable time and manner. SEC. 4. The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring access to affordable housing is a matter of statewide concern and not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Sections 1 and 2 of this act adding Sections 65852.21 and 66411.7 to the Government Code and Section 3 of this act amending Section 66452.6 of the Government Code apply to all cities, including charter cities. SEC. 5. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or 99 153 SB 9 —14 1 level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section 2 17556 of the Government Code. Ce7 99 154 SENATE BILL No. 10 Introduced by Senator Wiener (Principal coauthors: Senators Atkins and Caballero) (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Robert Rivas) December 7, 2020 An act to add Section 65913.5 to the Government Code, relating to land use. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 10, as introduced, Wiener. Planning and zoning: housing development: density. The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. Existing law requires an attached housing development to be a permitted use, not subject to a conditional use permit, on any parcel zoned for multifamily housing if at least certain percentages of the units are available at affordable housing costs to very low income, lower income, and moderate -income households for at least 30 years and if the project meets specified conditions relating to location and being subject to a discretionary decision other than a conditional use permit. Existing law provides for various incentives intended to facilitate and expedite the construction of affordable housing. This bill would, notwithstanding any local restrictions on adopting zoning ordinances, authorize a local government to pass an ordinance to zone any parcel for up to 10 units of residential density per parcel, at a height specified in the ordinance, if the parcel is located in a transit -rich area, a jobs -rich area, or an urban infill site, as those terms are defined. In this regard, the bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development, in consultation with the Office 99 155 SB 10 of Planning and Research, to determine jobs -rich areas and publish a map of those areas every 5 years, commencing January 1, 2022, based on specified criteria. The bill would specify that an ordinance adopted under these provisions is not a project for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act. The bill would prohibit a residential or mixed -use residential project consisting of 10 or more units that is located on a parcel rezoned pursuant to these provisions from being approved ministerially or by right. This bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State -mandated local program: no. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: 1 SECTION 1. Section 65913.5 is added to the Government 2 Code, to read: 3 65913.5. (a) (1) Notwithstanding any local restrictions on 4 adopting zoning ordinances enacted by the jurisdiction, including 5 restrictions enacted by a local voter initiative, that limit the 6 legislative body's ability to adopt zoning ordinances, a local 7 government may pass an ordinance to zone a parcel for up to 10 8 units of residential density per parcel, at a height specified by the 9 local government in the ordinance, if the parcel is located in one 10 of the following: 11 (A) A transit -rich area. 12 (B) A jobs -rich area. 13 (C) An urban infill site. 14 (2) An ordinance adopted in accordance with this subdivision 15 shall not constitute a "project" for purposes of Division 13 16 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. 17 (3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to parcels located within a very 18 high fire hazard severity zone, as determined by the Department 19 of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant to Section 51178, or within 20 a high or very high fire hazard severity zone as indicated on maps 21 adopted by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection pursuant 22 to Section 4202 of the Public Resources Code. This paragraph 23 does not apply to parcels excluded from the specified hazard zones 24 by a local agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 51179, or 99 156 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 SB 10 sites that have adopted fire hazard mitigation measures pursuant to existing building standards or state fire mitigation measures applicable to the development. (b) (1) Notwithstanding any other law, a residential or mixed -use residential project consisting of more than 10 new residential units on one or more parcels that have been zoned to permit residential development pursuant to this section shall not be approved ministerially or by right, and shall not be exempt from Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code. (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a project to create no more than two accessory dwelling units and no more than two junior accessory dwelling units per parcel pursuant to Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 of the Government Code.

(2) (A) "Jobs -rich area" means an area identified by the Department of Housing and Community Development in consultation with the Office of Planning and Research that is high opportunity and either is jobs rich or would enable shorter commute distances based on whether, in a regional analysis, the tract meets both of the following: (i) The tract is high opportunity, meaning its characteristics are associated with positive educational and economic outcomes for households of all income levels residing in the tract. (ii) The tract meets either of the following criteria: (1) New housing sited in the tract would enable residents to live near more jobs than is typical for tracts in the region. 99 157 SB 10 -- 4 -- 1 (II) New housing sited in the tract would enable shorter commute 2 distances for residents, relative to existing commute patterns and 3 jobs -housing fit. 4 (B) The Department of Housing and Community Development 5 shall, commencing on January 1, 2022, publish and update, every 6 five years thereafter, a map of the state showing the areas identified 7 by the department as "jobs -rich areas." 8 (3) "Transit -rich area" means a parcel within one-half mile of 9 a major transit stop, as defined in Section 21064.3 of the Public 10 Resources Code, or a parcel on a high -quality bus corridor. 11 (4) "Urban infill site" means a site that satisfies all of the 12 following: 13 (A) A site that is a legal parcel or parcels located in a city if, 14 and only if, the city boundaries include some portion of either an 15 urbanized area or urban cluster, as designated by the United States 16 Census Bureau, or, for unincorporated areas, a legal parcel or 17 parcels wholly within the boundaries of an urbanized area or urban 18 cluster, as designated by the United States Census Bureau. 19 (B) A site in which at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the 20 site adjoins parcels that are developed with urban uses. For the 21 purposes of this section, parcels that are only separated by a street 22 or highway shall be considered to be adjoined. 23 (C) A site that is zoned for residential use or residential 24 mixed -use development, or has a general plan designation that 25 allows residential use or a mix of residential and nonresidential 26 uses, with at least two-thirds of the square footage of the 27 development designated for residential use. 28 (d) The Legislature finds and declares that ensuring the adequate 29 production of affordable housing is a matter of statewide concern 30 and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of 31 Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, this section 32 applies to all cities, including charter cities. U 99 158
