City Engineer Gilbertson stated that staff has developed five (5) options for the Winston Avenue walking trail. The limits of the Option 1 walking trail are from the northerly terminus of Tentative Parcel Map No 73673 (expired) to Lemon Avenue. Option 1 is proposed. to be a 6' wide decomposed granite (DG) trail on the west side oft the street with trail fencing on the street side oft the trail. There is insufficient parkway width available in order to construct the walking trail, therefore, a 3' street dedication is required.

This option would require the removal and reconstruction of the existing private mailboxes on the west side of the street but the existing front yard walls would remain.

It's too much money and everybody is going to be unhappy.

The City is not going forward with any of the options discussed.

The State-mandated provisions were to take effect January 1, 2020; however, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 368 on December 17, 2019 putting local regulations in place. A draft replacement ordinance was considered by the City Council on June 16, 2020. However, the City Council scheduled a study session to discuss safety concerns, and the draft replacement ordinance was significantly revised. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 21-294 at the January 27, 2021 meeting to recommend approval of the revised draft replacement ordinance Ordinance No. 373 (Attachment A). The City Council held a public hearing for Ordinance No. 373 and unanimously approved and introduced the Ordinance at the February 16, 2021 meeting. Attachment B is the February 16, 2021 agenda report. It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 373.  ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT  The City Council approved and introduced Ordinance No. 373 with an exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section  AGENDA ITEM NO. 1E    15282(h) which provides a statutory exemption for the adoption of an ordinance regarding accessory dwelling units per the provisions of Sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 of the Government Code. As the standards of Government Code Section 65852.22 relating to junior accessory dwelling units are incorporated in Government Code Section 65852.2, this exemption covers junior accessory dwelling units as well. Regardless of whether the City adopts the ordinance, accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units must be allowed in the City in accordance with the standards set forth in State Statute. Therefore, the ordinance is categorically exempt under the commonsense exemption of CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) which provides that CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that the project will not cause any impacts. Additionally, the Sections that were added in Article IV of Chapter 85 of the Ordinance are the same provisions that were previously in the Code but were repealed by the Urgency Ordinance.

Findings. The City Council hereby makes the following findings regarding the prohibition of accessory dwelling units in certain locations within the City of Bradbury: A. The majority of the City of Bradbury is located in a very high fire hazard B. Since 1953 there have been four separate wildfires that have burned through C. The 2019 mid-term Housing Element recognized that opportunities for second unit in-fill development could be impacted by natural hazards such as wildfires that  severity zone (VHFHSZ);  Bradbury and the neighboring communities;  constrain density;  D. According to the Los Angeles County Fire Code which has been adopted by reference by the City of Bradbury, and as pointed out in the Dudek Memorandum, the  -2-  Ord.373    minimum road width needed for fire access is 20-feet unobstructed paved width based on the standard width of fire engines and their ability to pass one another;  E. The Dudek Memorandum also concludes among other things that the four- foot setback requirements and the inability to require fire sprinklers would likely have negative fire related impacts in Bradbury and recommends that fire sprinklers should be  required whenever possible;  F. There are numerous roads within the City that are less than 20 feet in width G. Residents living on narrow roads within the City of Bradbury have been informed by thel Los Angeles County Fire Department that if there is at fire, the Department  which impedes access of fire apparatus;  may not be able to provide service;  H. Government Code S 51182 provides that when property is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, there should be 100 feet of defensible space maintained for each side and from the front and rear of the structure, but not beyond the property line; I. The majority of the City of Bradbury is zoned R-20,000, A-1, A-2, or A-5 with rear and side yard setbacks of 15 feet in the R-20,000 zone and 25 feet in the three Agricultural ("A") zones, meaning that accessory living quarters and other structures  cannot be located closer than 30 feet to each other in these areas;  J. According to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) community profile, only 4.5% of the housing stock in Bradbury was built after 2010, when  residential sprinkler systems became a requirement;  K. Since the time that the Governor signed the new ADU/JADU legislation into law in 2019, there have been dozens of wildfires in California which have burned tens of thousands of acres, damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes and other structures, caused the death of many people, and resulted in injuries to many more;  L. On August 18, 2020, the International City/County Management Association released a document titled "21st Century - Fireand Emergency Services" which contained the recommendation to "Embrace the use of fire sprinkler technology in all buildings through the rapid adoption of codes and ordinances at the federal, state, and local government levels to dramatically reduce the incidence of deadly and costly fires";  M. On August 18, 2020, ABC News reported that there were at least 28 wildfires N. By August 19, 2020, the Governor declared a State of Emergency as more than 350 wildfires burned throughout California, many due to lightning strikes, and a  burning in California alone;  request was made for 375 fire engines from out-of-state;  O. State of Emergencies have become a yearly occurrence due to wildfires;  -3-  Ord.373    P. Because the accessory dwelling unit law does not allow the City to require sprinklers in units where the main house was not required to install sprinklers, the City cannot require sprinklers to be installed in most of the accessory dwelling units that could  be built in the City;  Q. The location ofi the City in a very high fire hazard severity zone, the inability to require sufficient separation between buildings, the inability to require sprinklers in a majority of accessory dwelling units that could be built, and the narrow streets which impede fire access, justify the prohibition of accessory dwelling units to be built as of right  in those areas of the City in the very high fire hazard severity zone;  R. The City Council recognizes the need for additional housing opportunities in the City, even in the very high fire hazard severity zone, and for that reason is providing for the opportunity for certain secondary living quarters of up to 1,000 square feet as defined herein to be built in this area with reduced procedural requirements, while still imposing setbacks for adequate building separation and requiring fire sprinklers;  S. The City Council also recognizes that Bradbury has traditionally allowed the development of a variety of accessory living quarters and wishes to continue to allow: such development, subject to discretionary review by the City's Planning Department, and the  City's Planning Commission;  T. Government Code S 65852.2(a)1)(A) provides local agencies with the authority to designate areas within the jurisdiction where ADUS may be prohibited based on public safety. The provisions set forth in this Ordinance are necessary for the public SECTION2. Section 9.25.020 oft the Bradbury Development Code relating to Definitions is hereby amended by adding and modifying the following definitions to read as follows: Accessory dwelling unit ("ADU") means a dwelling unit of up to 1,000 square feet that is attached, detached, or located within an existing or proposed residential dwelling which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the Accessory living quarters means living quarters in addition to the primary unit on  safety.  same parcel of land as the primary unit.  the same parcel of land as the primary unit, and includes the following:  (1) Bunk houses; (2) Guest houses;  (3) single-oom-occupaney units (SROs); and  (4) SRO developments.  -4-  Ord.373    Bunk house means living accommodations detached from the primary unit and designed to house two or more individuals who are personnel involved with the care and maintenance of the primary unit, or the associated on-site agricultural, equestrian, farming, or other residential activities.

Chapter 85 of the Bradbury Municipal Code is hereby repealed and a new Chapter 85 is added to Title IX of the Bradbury Municipal Code to read as follows:  quarters.  and up to 1,200 square feet.  commonly referred to as a pool house.  attached accessory structure. the lot if there are multiple dwellings.  enhanced accessory dwelling units.  facilities.  in an adjacent room of up to 50 square feet.

SUMMARY  During 2019, the State adopted legislation mandating that cities allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUS) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUS) with minimized setbacks and significant cost-saving provisions, such as not being required to be equipped with fire sprinklers. The State-mandated provisions were to take effect January 1, 2020; however, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 368 on December 17, 2019 putting local regulations in place. A draft replacement ordinance was considered by the City Council on June 16, 2020. However, the City Council scheduled a study session to discuss safety concerns, and the draft replacement ordinance has been significantly revised. The revised draft replacement ordinance was re-evaluated by the Planning Commission on January 27, 2021, and the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC: 21-294 (Attachment B)to recommend approval of the revised draft replacement ordinance = Ordinance No. 373 (Attachment A). It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing for Ordinance No. 373, introduce the Ordinance, and schedule the second reading and  adoption for the next regular meeting on March 16, 2021.  AGENDA ITEM NO.    BACKGROUND  Inn response to the State legislation that mandates the allowing of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUS) with minimized setback requirements and reduced fire-safety measures, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 368 at the December 17, 2019 regular meeting, which immediately put in place local regulations that prohibit ADUS in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and Hillside areas of the City. State guidance has made it apparent that certain provisions of Ordinance No. 368 will need to be amended. A replacement ordinance was drafted and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the regular meeting on May 27, 2020, and the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC 20-289 to recommend approval of the The replacement ordinance was considered by the City Council at the regular meeting on June 16, 2020. Rather than introduce the ordinance, however, the City Council scheduled as study session to discuss safety concerns. The City Council met in study session on July 13, 2020, August 10, 2020, October 7, 2020, and December 9, 2020, and discussed the draft replacement ordinance and safety issues related to wildfires and evacuations. The City Council reviewed the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map for the City of Bradbury (Attachment E) and several reports regarding wildfires, land-use planning, and emergency response. The City Council then directed staff to have af fire expert prepare a report on fire safety issues related to ADUS to see if there should be The City contracted with the Dudek consulting firm to address the City Council's concerns. Two issues that were raised were how minimal setbacks (i.e., four-foot side and rear yards) for ADUS could facilitate the spreading of a wildfire and how very narrow streets (i.e., less than 20 feet of roadway) in certain areas of the City would impinge on evacuations and access by the Fire Department. Dudek's report (Attachment D) was presented to the City Council on December 9, 2020, along with the draft revised replacement ordinance. The City Council concluded the study session and directed staff to proceed with the processing of the revised replacement ordinance - Ordinance No. 373.  proposed replacement ordinance.  adjustments of the State-mandated ADU provisions.  DISCUSSION  In addition to Dudek's report, staff reviewed the several reports considered by the City Council, including the State Office of Planning and Research's ("OPR") draft Fire Hazard Planning Technical Advisory, ICMA's "21st Century Fire and Emergency Services" document, and the State Department of Housing and Community Development's Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook ntp/www.hedcagow. Ol-EAENOOSACR handbook-final. .pdf). Based on the various documents, City staff feels that there is justification to limit the creation of ADUS in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) areas of the City = see Attachment E, and to prohibit all secondary living quarters on certain streets with very narrow widths = see Attachment C. These provisions are included in Ordinance No. 373. However, in order to try and meet the intent of State legislation, Ordinance No. 373 provides that ADUS be ministerially allowed in the VHFHSZ subject to such units having fire sprinklers and setbacks of at least 15 feet, which is the required side and rear yard setbacks in the R-20,000 zone. These types of ADUS are  City of Bradbury - City Council - Agenda Report  February 2021 16, Page 2of5  Introduction  of Ordinance No. 373    referred to in Ordinance No. 373 as Fire Zone ADUS (FZADU). The size of both ADUS and Ordinance No. 373 also establishes a second category of ADUS, entitled Enhanced ADUS (EADUS). EADUS will be allowed in the R-7,500 and R-20,000 zones and may go up to 1,200 square feet. To have an EADU, the applicant would have to comply with all development standards of the underlying zone, including Significant Architectural Review approval by the Planning Commission. EADUS are not allowed in the Agricultural zones as those zones may have a Guest House, Bunk House, or SRO Development of larger sizes. Ordinance No. 373 combines Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), Enhanced Accessory Dwelling Units (EADUS), Fire Zone Accessory Dwelling Units (FZADUS), Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUS), and Accessory Living Quarters (ALQs) into one chapter, titled  FZADUS are limited to a maximum of 1,000 square feet.  Secondary Living Quarters. Relevant definitions are as follows:  Accessory dwelling unit ("ADU") means a dwelling unit of up to 1,000 square feet that is attached, detached, or located within an existing or proposed residential dwelling which provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking and sanitation on the same parcel of land as the primary unit. Accessory living quarters ("ALQ") means living quarters in addition to the primary unit on the same parcel of land as the primary unit, and includes the  following:  (1) Bunk houses; (2) Guest houses; (4) SRO developments.  (3) singleroom-occupaney units (SROs); and  Enhanced accessory dwelling unit ("EADU") means an ADU over 1,000 Fire Zone accessory dwelling unit ("FZADU") means an ADU in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone which complies with City zoning setback requirements and is equipped with fire sprinklers, the requirement of which would otherwise be Junior accessory dwelling unit ("JADU") means an accessory dwelling unit that is no more than 500 square feet in size and contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family residence.

FINDINGS  Balancing the need for additional housing with the need to provide safety and emergency response measures, the State-mandated provisions for ADUS need to be adjusted for properties in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone = see Attachment E, Secondary Living Quarters shouid be prohibited at properties that can only be accessed from very narrow streets = see Attachment C. The findings in support of these decisions are stated in  Section 1 of Ordinance No. 373.

The Commission, at its January 27, 2021 meeting adopted Resolution No. PC 21-295 to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance to address the improvements of yard areas adjacent to streets. The Council reviewed the draft regulations at its February 16, 2021 meeting and found the proposed regulations acceptable. Staff drafted the attached Ordinance No. 374 for the Council's consideration and introduction.  BACKGROUND  The Planning Commission began a discussion at the October 28, 2020 meeting on issues related to front yards. This was in response to a project that had been referred to the Commission for guidance due to the lack of regulations for driveways, circular driveways, the maximum amount of hardscape or impervious surfaces, and the types of materials to be allowed; e.g., artificial turf, gravel, and other decorative materials. The Commission directed staff to check the regulations of 12 cities: Arcadia, Azusa, Duarte, Glendora, Hidden Hills, La Verne, Malibu, Monrovia, Rolling Hills Estates, San Dimas, San Marino, and Sierra Madre. The applicable regulations were discussed at the December 2, 2020 meeting along with draft regulations for the City of Bradbury. The Commission held a public  AGENDA ITEM NO. 2    hearing and determined that the proposed regulations are acceptable and adopted the attached Resolution No. PC 21-295 to recommend to the City Council the preparation and approval of an ordinance to amend the Development Code to add the proposed regulations. The City Council reviewed the regulations of the twelve cities and the draft regulations for the City of Bradbury at the February 16, 2021 regular meeting. The Council found the draft regulations acceptable provided they are consistent with the City's property maintenance standards. Staff reviewed those standards and incorporate the necessary adjustments into  the proposed Ordinance No. 374.

Job  April 2003  In thej public sector, nepotism is generally disfavored. Part oft this is history, which is quite interesting. Back in the early 19th century, it was customary for job seekers with the federal government to make a campaign contribution to someone running for office. If the person won, the job was considered a reward for political support. The practice of giving. jobs in return for political support was known as the "spoils system," from a speech by a senator in which he defended political patronage systems and declared "to This system diminished thej public's confidence in government, because positions were not being filled on the basis of who was the most qualified toj perform the public'swork. The system bred corruption and inefficiency, which led to ai number ofs scandals that further eroded public support for government. The public's desire for ai merit-based system was then increased in the 1880's, when then-President Garfield was assassinated bya disappointed government-job seeker. Reforms (which included anti-nepotism provisions in addition to instituting a merit-based system) occurred at the federal level, as The underlying principle oft these laws is that public employment decisions should be based solely on merit -1 the education, experience and skills an individual can bring to the position in question. Such decisions are all about finding the very best-qualified Hiring relatives is considered analogous to hiring individuals based on personal or political relationships, since the predominant factor appears to be the personal tie. Moreover, it can be inherently difficult (or perceived to be so) to evaluate objectively the competing qualifications ofa a stranger against those ofai relative. More challenges can ensue once a relative is hired. There can be a perception (or possibly areality) that a family member of an elected official is not subject to the same standards, possibly out of concerns that the elected official will take a dim view ofany criticism of his or her family member. This can create morale problems for other employees. These dynamics can diminish the overall effectiveness of the organization.  the victor belong the spoils."  well as state and local levels.  individual to serve the public.  WhattoDo?  First, Consult the Agency's Policies  The first thing you may want to doi is to check to see ifyour agency has an antinepotism policy. The policy against nepotism is sufficiently strong in some agencies, for example, the City of Riverside, that it is expressed ini its city charter. Other agencies have such policies expressed in their municipal codes, resolutions or memoranda of understanding  with bargaining groups.

Job  April 2003  Ifyour nephew's employment by the agency is barred by some form of agency policy, your inquiry is over. Your obligation as an elected official is to uphold the laws. As Cecil B. DeMille said "Iti is impossible for us to break the law. We can only break ourselves upon the law." The agency cannot hire your nephew unless you choose to resign your (You may feel the policy is unfair and should be changed, but the worst thing you could do in terms oft the public's perception of your ethics and credibility is attempt to modify the agency's standards in a way that would benefit your family members. Make that pitch, if you feel sO inclined, when you do not have aj personal stake in the outcome.) Ifthere is no anti-nepotism policy that governs the situation, you will still want to consult with your agency attorney about whether any oft the various conflict ofinterest or self- dealing laws would create issues for you or the agency in the event your nephew (or other  seat on the governing body.  family member) became an employee.

An anti-nepotism policy that forbids the hiring ofs spouses could arguably constitute Recognizing this (and, implicitly, the benefits ofanti-nepotism policies), the act allows employers to reasonably regulate, for reasons of "supervision, safety, security, or morale" spouses working in the same department, division or facility. Such regulations must be consistent with rules adopted by the Fair Employment and Housing Commission. For this reason, many local anti-nepotism policies refer to "supervision, safety, security, and morale" concerns as motivations. It can also be useful to include findings indicating that such policies are motivated by business necessity concerns relating to supervision, safety, security, morale and the public'st trust in the agency'sn merit-based employment system. "Business necessity" is one oft the factors courts look ati in reviewing claims of Under the Commission* 's regulations, local policies may prevent one spouse from directly supervising one another. Policies preventing spouses from working in the same department are permissible ift the work involves potential conflicts ofinterest or other hazards that are greater for married couples than for other persons. Moreover, ifc cO- employees marry, the employer is required to make reasonable efforts to assign job duties sO as to minimize problems of supervision, safety, security, or morale. Note that the state anti-discrimination laws only refer to discrimination based on marital status - not family status in general (except for the housing antidiscrimination laws).  discrimination based on marital status.  discrimination under civil rights laws in general.  Institute forl Local Government    Everyday Ethics for Local Officials Hiring:When: al Relative' Wantsa Job Then, Consult Ethical Principles  April 2003  Ifthere is no agency policy relating to nepotism or other legal bar, your inquiry is not over. Just because something is legal, does not mean iti is ethical. Some soul-searching is  in order. Here are some questions to ask yourself:  Given the size ofs your agency and the supervisorial relationships, isi it possible for the individual responsible for evaluating the competing candidates for the position int the Parks and Recreation Department to make a selection solely based on the merits of each candidate's qualifications, irrespective oft the family relationship? Will the hiring supervisor feel your views ofhim or her will be affected by the decision to hire (or not): your nephew? (Perhaps a better way of asking this question is how would you feel ifyou were in the hiring supervisor's position? Would you: fear your own continued employment or advancement could be affected by the decision to hire one ofyour elected official'sre relatives?) Will the hiring supervisor feel comfortable candidly evaluating your nephew's Will the fact that your nephew has a special relationship with you affect how he performs his duties (will he, for example, be more inclined to spend time on duties that he knows are important to you)?

Reading between the lines, it appears as ifyour agency's management is counseling against the hiring ofy your nephew, to avoid even the appearance of favoritism. It may well be that the manager has run through the above series of questions and has determined that the risks to the agency in terms ofr morale and adverse public reaction outweigh the benefits ofhaving your nephew - with all ofhis talents and qualifications- Moreover, management staffi is likely tol know that aj person with your nephew's qualifications is likely to be able to find equally meaningful employment with another agency - without the taint ofH having the basis forl his hiring under question. Because itis easier for stafft to be objective in analyzing the questions suggested above, you would  work for your agency.  likely be wise to heed his or her counsel ini this situation.  The Relationship Between Elected Officials and Staff  The elected official sits as one oft the agency's governing board that sets policy for the agency and gives direction to the agency. manager. This includes policies and programs contemplated in the agency's budget. The manager'sjob: ist then to implement the board's] policies and priorities by giving direction to: staff. To begin the process ofmaking good on campaign promises relating to after-school programs for at-risk youth, an elected official should speak to the agency's top administrative official about the agency's existing programs and the options the agency might explore. At some point, the administration may schedule the topic for board discussion, sO the board as a group can evaluate the agency's efforts in this area and their colleague's s proposals that the agency expand or redirect its efforts. Generally speaking, iti is improper for an individual elected official to give direction to staff, particularly staff subordinate to the agency manager. There is an ethical dimension to this issue, because staff isi in an inherently difficult position. Their. jobs require that they follow the administrative official's direction based on the collective decisions made by the board, yet they may also feel pressured to do what an elected official directs them to do out ofi fears that there will be adverse consequences to them if they do not. Taking advantage oft this power disparity under such circumstances is unethical. It can also be unlawful in those cities that have adopted a  council-manager form of government."  Institute for Local Government    Everyday Ethics for Local Officials Hiring:V When aF Relative Wantsa a Job  April 2003  Even ift the policy goals of an individual elected official are worthwhile (for example, after school programs for at-risk youth), the ends do not justify the means. In democratic government, the means are the ends. This is because the legitimacy oft the ends depends on working through the proper processes to make sure a program reflects the collective input of the board and the community. Once that process has occurred and the policy has been approved by a majority or more oft the board, it can  be properly implemented by staff.  Ethics is Not Easy  Does this mean that the agency loses out on a great employee? Probably. This is a classic "personal cost" ethical dilemma - an example of when doing the right thing comes at a Moreover, there isa a short-term versus long-term aspect to this dilemma.

This will enhance the public'st trust and confidence in all decisions the agency makes - and you as a leader. Ist this unfair to you and your nephew? Probably. However, this is what the concept ofintegrity is all about = doing the right thing even when there is aj personal cost. Moreover, this situation gives you the opportunity to talk candidly with your nephew about the importance ofe ethics and avoiding even the appearance ofi impropriety inj public service. As he progresses in his career and becomes the hiring supervisor who is concerned about the potential effects ofr nepotism inl his unit, he will come respect your wisdom, values and integrity all the more.

DISCUSSION  Approximately four years ago, the Los Angeles Civil Grand Jury investigated cities on their response to homelessness issues during the 2016 El Nino time period. As a result of their findings, the City indicated that it would support organizations that assisted with providing housing and shelter to those in need. This resulted in the City committing to donate $3,000 during the 2016-2017 fiscal cycle. The City ultimately donated $1,500 to Foothill Unity Center and $1,500 to Union Station Homeless Services to fulfil the City's During the Fiscal Years of 17/18 through 19/20 budgeting cycles, the City Council decided to still allocate $3,000 for future donations, even though the Civil Grand Jury's requirements had been fulfilled.
