3. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Public Hearing on Accessory Dwelling Units-Municipal Code Amendment 20-01
On October 9, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills into law
(Assembly Bill 68, Assembly Bill 881, and Senate Bill 13), which amended
Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 pertaining to the development
of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs).
These regulations became effective on January 1, 2020 and pre-empt all local
ordinances that do not comply with the new standards.
The proposed Municipal Code Amendment (MCA 20-01) is intended to bring Title
17 (Zoning) of the Rosemead Municipal Code up to compliance with State
legislation regarding the development and conversion of ADUs in the City. The
proposed amendment would adopt new standards for ADUs, in accordance with the
provisions of Government Code Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22. The amendment
would also provide clarity and consistency for the regulation of ADUs throughout
Title 17 (Zoning) of the Rosemead Municipal Code.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public testimony; and

in the San Gabriel Valley. The SGVCOG advocates for regional and member
interests and develops and manages regional programs to support its member
jurisdictions.
In Fiscal Year 2019-20, the SGVCOG received funding for the development and
implementation of homeless programs. The SGVCOG was allocated $5,625,000 in
the FY 2019-20 State Budget, included at the request of State Senator Susan Rubio.
The SGVCOG was also allotted $1,541,876 by the County of Los Angeles, through
a newly developed Innovation Funds program, which allocated carry-over Measure
In January 2020, the SGVCOG worked with staff from its member cities to identify
regional homeless programs and to develop a framework and approach to distribute
funding. The proposed programs and formulas were designed to maximize regional
programs in order to take advantage of economies of scale, ensure equity, and
provide cities with the ability to more easily access funds that could be used to
implement their homeless plans.

Regular Joint Meeting Agenda July 14, 2020
Cities which already had homeless plans were provided the opportunity to receive
funding based on population for the implementation of their plans. Cities that did
not yet have a homeless plan, were provided the opportunity to develop a plan with
the assistance of a consultant procured by the SGVCOG. Each city was also
allocated funding to develop and implement a homeless prevention and diversion
program, and those with existing homeless plans could apply for funding to
implement an innovative pilot program. Finally, each city could opt-in to a regional
landlord outreach and incentive program. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
is required between each city and the SGVCOG.
Recommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the San Gabriel Valley Council of
Governments (SGVCOG) for the development and implementation of a Prevention
and Diversion Program to prevent City residents from becoming homeless; and
accept $15,000 in funding to implement the Homeless Prevention and Diversion
Program upon notification of award from the SGVCOG.
F. Approval of First Amendment to Construction Contract for Jay Imperial Crosswalk
Installation (Project No. 28011) and Sidewalk Replacement (Project No. 24008)
-2019 approved budget, the City Council
approved the Capital Improvement Program that included the Crosswalk
Installation at Jay Imperial Park and Sidewalk Replacement Projects. On February
26, 2019, a construction contract was awarded to FS Contractors, Inc. The first
phase of construction consisting of concrete improvements was completed in
August 2019. Staff completed the necessary coordination with Southern California
Edison for new service to the proposed streetlight for a new crosswalk, and FS
Contractors, Inc. is ready to commence with the second phase of construction to
complete the crosswalk installation at Jay Imperial Park. Due to a long lead time
material procurement (streetlight), and coordination with SCE for new service, the
construction contract with FS Contractors, Inc. has expired. Staff is requesting to
amend the construction contract term so that contractor can complete the second
phase of construction. The total approved project budget is $110,099, which
includes the contract amount and 10% contingency. There is no additional financial
impact anticipated.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve First Amendment to Construction Contract with FS Contractors, Inc.
to extend the Contract Term to March 31, 2021.
