SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is for the City Council to consider approval of a Purchase Agreement with

property owner has indicated that the City would need to eminent domain the property in order to acquire
the land. Accordingly, the City will be moving forward with eminent domain proceedings, if approved by
the City Council. Proceedings for eminent domain for the acquisition of this property may be simplified
as this transaction has progressed in good faith.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, pursuant to

by at least a two-thirds vote, resolves and determines as follows:

(g) Pursuant to Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, an Environmental
Compliance Checklist (“Checklist”) was prepared to examine the environmental
effects of the Project. The Checklist found that the proposed Project would not
result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental effects than
what was analyzed in the General Plan EIR and DCP Supplemental EIR.
Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.
SECTION 2. The City Attorney of the City of Baldwin Park or his duly authorized designee
is hereby authorized and directed to institute and conduct to conclusion an action in
eminent domain for the acquisition of the estates and interests of said property and to
take such action as he may deem advisable or necessary in connection therewith. An

ITEM NO. 4 STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Sam Gutierrez, Director of Public Works
Manuel Carrillo Jr., Director of Recreation & Community Services
DATE: November 17, 2021
SUBJECT: State of California-Funding Available for Open/Civic Space Project
in the City of Baldwin Park and Amend Resolution Approving the
Application for Specified Grant Funds for the Zocalo/Civic Plaza
Project
SUMMARY
At their meeting of September 1, 2021, the City Council provided direction to the CEO, at the request
of Council Member Damian, to ascertain the availability of funding at the State of California secured by
Senator Susan Rubio (32nd District) in this FY 21/22 State Budget approval for the creation and
development of open/civic space in an urban setting, and the process by which the City of Baldwin Park
could apply and access the funding. The purpose of this report is for the City Council to rescind
Resolution 2021-027, amend and adopt Resolution No. 2021-034 approving the application for
Specified Grant Funds for the Zocalo/Civic Plaza Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Rescind previously approved Resolution 2021-027; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2021-034 entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Baldwin
Park approving the application for Specified Grant Funds for the Zocalo/Civic Plaza Project”; and
3. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to negotiate and enter into a contract with the State
Department of Parks and Recreation (California State Parks) to receive the $6,000,000 available
in the FY 21/22 State Budget, and expend according to such contract, to create an open/civic
space in an urban setting, the Civic Plaza Project known as the “Zocalo”; and
4. Authorize the CEO to execute any further documents to receive the funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact at this time. The City is scheduled to receive a grant in the amount of
$6,000,000 from the State Department of Parks and Recreation. Upon request, it may be necessary to
provide front funding from the general fund.
BACKGROUND
At their October 6, 2021 City Council Meeting, Resolution No. 2021-027 was unanimously approved by
the City Council. The Resolution has been amended to include additional language required by the
State Department of Parks and Recreation specific to the grant. Approximately four (4) years ago, as
part of our Capital Improvement Program development, the City’s Departments of Public Works and
Recreation and Community Services had commissioned the architectural and engineering design of a
Civic Plaza known as the “Zocalo” (which in Mexican Spanish represents a public plaza), for the area
northwest of City Hall, at the intersection of Pacific and Maine Avenues. The City invested well over
$500,000 in the completion of the design in bringing it to a bid-ready status-also known as ‘shovel-
ready’ and conducted several public input meetings and the project was well received.
In light of the State of California’s once-in a generation budget surplus for FY21/22 estimated at over
$40B, through the efforts of Senator Rubio (32nd District), the State has indeed made funding available
for projects that create open/civic space in an urban setting. The construction estimate for the “Zocalo”
project was $5.8M 4 years ago. We would make the project fit the available funding by briefly updating
specific features of the design should the updated cost estimate to include escalation exceeded the
available funding; or the bid request can be structured with optional features to give us flexibility in fitting
the award to available funding.
The City of Baldwin Park will receive the funds for the open/civic space from the California Department
of Parks and Recreation; to draw down the funds, the City of Baldwin Park will need to enter into a
contract with the State Department of Parks and Recreation specifying use of the funds. The City will
negotiate if at all possible for State Parks to advance the City up to 20% of the funds as startup funding
for the construction of the project. The State has indicated funds were available as early as September
30, 2021. The CEO will coordinate with the State Department of Parks and Recreation and the State
Senator Susan Rubio’s office to submit the City’s application in accordance with their guidelines, and
will coordinate with the Director of Public Works and the Director of Recreation and Community
Services to update the existing design as necessary.
ALTERNATIVES
The alternative would be not to approve Resolution No. 2021-034.
LEGAL REVIEW
No legal review is necessary at this juncture.

ITEM NO. ________5_________
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Mark Hsu, Information Systems Supervisor
DATE: November 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Approve a Proposal from The [RE]DESIGN Group for Purchase
of Dell Datacenter Hardware Replacement and Software
SUMMARY
Staff seeks City Council approval for the purchase of Dell R6515 Servers, Dell Power Store 1000T
Data Storage, VMware and Microsoft Licensing, Dell Switches and APC Rack, Battery and PDU
equipment for an amount of $200,119.56 which includes the equipment purchase, deployment

upgrade/replace existing infrastructure systems that are nearing the end of their expected lifespan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the proposal from THE [RE]DESIGN GROUP in the amount of $200,119.56 and
authorize the Chief Executive Officer to purchase the replacement datacenter hardware and
software; and
2. Authorize the Director of Finance to make the necessary budget adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The funds for this project were approved as part of the
Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP No. 22-003) as well as, the City’s operations
budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22.
Approved funds will come partially from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) revenue loss category,
account number 275-10-730-58105-51003 in the amount of $100,000.00 and the balance funds will
come from the approved operations budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22, account number 401-10-140-
51100-00000 in the amount of $100,119.56.
BACKGROUND
The City Information Technology Division has a practice of maintaining server, networking, and data
storage equipment for a lifespan of 6-8 years, based on industry standards and practical observation.
In addition, maintenance and support agreements are routinely established with manufacturers of
mission critical equipment to ensure optimal performance, long term reliability, and expeditious repair
in the event of a failure.
As a part of its information technology practices, the City typically upgrades and deploys hardware in
a timeframe that keeps City equipment in a state of secure, reliable, and efficient performance. This
practice helps to make sure that critical technology infrastructure is up to date with security-related
improvements, functional product enhancements, and resilient to failure. Acquiring ongoing
maintenance and support from the equipment manufacturer allows the City to best ensure reliable
operations and respond quickly and efficiently to any failure that may arise.
The total cost of this purchase is $200,119.56 which includes Dell R6515 Servers, Dell PowerStore
1000T Data Storage, VMware and Microsoft Licensing, Dell Switches and APC Rack, Battery and
PDU equipment, deployment and configuration services, and five years of maintenance and support.
Pricing for this purchase is based on the State of California NASPO contract number MNWNC-108
and MNWNC-109. City Policy provides for an exemption from formal bidding procedures when
participating in established governmental cooperative purchasing programs such as the NASPO
agreement.
LEGAL REVIEW
None Required.
ALTERNATIVES
1. The City Council may choose not to purchase this new datacenter hardware and software and
keep using our current server environments.
2. Provide staff with alternate direction.

40 full-time employees on a single working day during the previous 12 months in Minnesota or in the state where
it has its principal place of business, the Contract Vendor must comply with the requirements of Minn. Stat.
§ 363A.36, subd. 1 and Minn. R. 5000.3400 to 5000.3600. A Contract Vendor covered by Minn. Stat. § 363A.36,

compliance and criteria for determining a Contract Vendor's compliance status; procedures for addressing
deficiencies, sanctions, and notice and hearing; annual compliance reports; procedures for compliance review;
and contract consequences for noncompliance. The specific criteria for approval or rejection of an affirmative
action plan are contained in various provisions of Minn. R. 5000.3400-5000.3600 including, but not limited to,

Agreement by the Contract Vendor or its agents, employees, or subcontractors. This clause shall not be construed to
bar any legal remedies the Contract Vendor may have with the Lead State's and Participating Entity's failure to fulfill
its obligations pursuant to the Master Agreement.

seek such approval and if approval is not received, Contract Vendor is not required to defend that Participating Entity.
18. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION. NEGOTIATED In the event of any such claim by any third party

open source software) prepared or produced by Dell and delivered pursuant to this Agreement infringe or
misappropriate that third party's U.S. patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights ("Indemnified
Claims"), the Participating Entity shall promptly notify the Contract Vendor. The Contract Vendor, at its own expense,
shall indemnify; defend to the extent permitted by the Participating Entity's laws, and hold harmless the Participating
Entity against any loss, cost, expense, or liability (including legal fees) arising out of such a claim, whether or not such
claim is successful against the Participating Entity.

adverse ruling, the Contract Vendor shall at its option (1) obtain a right for the Participating Entity to continue using
such Products, Deliverables or Software or allow Contract Vendor to continue performing the Services; (2) modify
such Products, Software, Services or Deliverables to make them non-infringing; (3) replace such Products, Software,

in connection with a third-party product, software or service (the combination of which causes the claimed
infringement); or (3) Contract Vendor's compliance with Participating Entity's written specifications or directions,
including the incorporation of any software or other materials or processes provided by or requested by Participating
Entity. Contract Vendor's duty to indemnify and defend under this Section is contingent upon: (x) Contract Vendor
receiving prompt written notice of the third-party claim or action for which Contract Vendor must indemnify
Participating Entity, (y) Contract Vendor having the right to solely control the defense and resolution of such claim or
action, and (z) Participating Entity's cooperation with Contract Vendor in defending and resolving such claim or action.

and nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere will obligate Contract Vendor to provide any greater indemnity to
Participating Entity.

ORDINANCE NO. 1464
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK,
CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE BALDWIN PARK MUNICIPAL CODE, TITLE XV,
LAND USAGE, CHAPTER, 153, ZONING CODE, SECTIONS 153.040.070,
153.070.020, 153.120.350, 153.120.360 AND 153.120.370 RELATING TO
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
AND SECTION 153.150.100 RELATING TO TANDEM PARKING
WHEREAS, Baldwin Park Municipal Code Title VI, Land Usage, Chapter 153,
Zoning Code, implements the City’s General Plan, establishing land use and development
regulations in the City, which includes regulations governing the establishment of
Accessory Dwelling Units in the R-1, R-G, and R-3 zoning districts in accordance with
Government Code Section 65852.2.
WHEREAS, in 2019, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 68, Assembly
Bill 881, and Senate Bill 13 (the “ADU Bills”) amending Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22
of the California Government Code, which took effect on January 1, 2020, that regulates
the establishment and occupancy of Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) and Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADUs”);
WHEREAS, on September 28, 2020, the California Governor approved Assembly
Bill No. 3182, which, in part, further amends, amongst other provisions of State law,
California Government Code Section 65852.2 – and takes effect on January 1, 2021;
WHEREAS, the City of Baldwin Park desires to amend its local regulatory scheme
for the construction, occupancy, and maintenance of ADUs and JADUs to ensure
compliance with the modified provisions of the ADU Bills;
WHEREAS, the ADU Bills require local jurisdictions to allow Accessory Dwelling
Units (“ADUs”) on any property approved for residential use (including within single-
family, multifamily, and mixed use zones);
WHEREAS, although California Government Code Section 65852.2(E)(1) requires
all jurisdictions to ministerially approve Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) that meet
certain criteria on all zones approved for residential use (including within single-family,
multifamily, and mixed use zones), California Government Code Section 65852.2
authorizes the City to limit other ADUs based upon the adequacy of water and sewer
services and the impact of accessory dwelling units on traffic flow and public safety;
WHEREAS, the Baldwin Park Municipal Code safeguards against vehicle, bicycle,
and pedestrian collisions caused by visual obstructions at street intersections by
prohibiting fences and walls in excess of thirty-six inches (36”) above street grade within
Page | 2
the visibility triangle of any corner lot or reversed corner lot; where the visibility triangle is
the triangle formed by the intersection of two streets having two sides of fifteen feet (15’)
in length extending along the curb line of each street;
WHEREAS, the City Council of Baldwin Park desires to continue to promote public
safety measures along streets and pedestrian sidewalks/walkways adjacent to corner lots
and reversed corner lots in the City by maintaining the requirement for a clear visibility
triangle on all corner and reversed corner lots;
WHEREAS, it is expected that property owners will seek to maximize the use and
occupancy of their properties by taking advantage of the benefits provided by establishing
Accessory Dwelling Units and/or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units;
WHEREAS, approximately 100% of the residential properties within the City of
Baldwin Park are located within 1/2 mile of public transit - thereby negating the City’s
ability to require additional parking spaces for the Accessory Dwelling Units at those
properties;
WHEREAS, the City cannot require replacement parking for Accessory Dwelling
Units resulting from the conversion of an attached or detached garage, carport, or other
covered off-street parking space;
WHEREAS, the ADU Bills further amended existing requirements for ADUs and
JADUs, including, but not limited to, maximum setbacks allowed on new and existing
structures, minimum parking requirements, minimum sizes for ADUs, owner occupancy
of ADUs, and the maximum time allowed for local jurisdictions to review and approve or
deny an application for an ADU or JADU; and,
WHEREAS, the approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default
standards set forth in the ADU Bills, without local regulations governing height, setback,
landscape, architectural design standards, and other aspects of ADUs and JADUs, would
threaten the character of the neighborhoods, and would negatively impact, amongst other
things, traffic flow, public safety, and property values within the City of Baldwin Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does hereby
ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The foregoing recitations are hereby adopted by the City Council as
findings. Based on those findings, the City Council determines the public health, safety
and general welfare of the City of Baldwin Park, its residents and property owners can
benefit by amending the Baldwin Park Municipal Code (BPMC) to allow Accessory
Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units with development standards, and it
is in the best interest of the community to amend the BPMC accordingly.
SECTION 2. Based on the foregoing findings and determinations, Baldwin Park
Municipal Code Title XV (“Land Usage”), Chapter 153 (“Zoning Code”), Subchapter
Page | 3
153.040 (“Residential Zones”), Section 153.040.070 (“Accessory Structures”) is hereby
amended and enacted to include Subsection (D) as follows:
(D) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 153.040.070(A) and
153.040.070(B), “accessory dwelling units” as defined by Section 153.120.360(B) shall
be subject to the regulations and development standards as set forth in Section
153.120.360.
SECTION 3. Baldwin Park Municipal Code Title XV (“Land Usage”), Chapter 153
(“Zoning Code”), Subchapter 153.070 (“Mixed-Use Zones”), Section 153.070.020 (“Use
Regulations Table 153.070.020 - Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses within

Municipal Code Title XV (“Land Usage”), Chapter 153 (“Zoning Code”), Subchapter
153.120 (“Standards for Specific Land Uses and Activities”), Part 11 (“Accessory Dwelling
Units”) is hereby rescinded and replaced in its entirety as follows:
PART 11 - Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
Section 153.120.350 – Findings; Purpose and Intent; Definitions
A. Findings. The City Council hereby finds and declares as follows:
1. Although California Government Code Sections 65852.2 and
65852.22 authorizes the construction and use of Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior
Accessory Dwelling Units within areas zoned for residential use (including single-family,
multifamily, and mixed use), the Government Code explicitly provides that local agencies
may exclude areas based upon the adequacy of water and sewer services, as well as the
impact of accessory dwelling units on traffic flow and public safety;
2. The City Council makes all findings set forth in Ordinance 1464
pertaining to the impact of Accessory Dwelling Units on Substandard Streets will have
upon traffic flow and public safety. Allowing Accessory Dwelling Units on properties
adjacent to Substandard Streets (as that term is defined in Subsection 153.120.350.C.9)
would potentially have a detrimental impact upon traffic flow for residents upon those
streets as a result of the lack of sufficient street parking and the increased demand
therefor, as well as upon public safety resulting from the impact upon the ability of
Page | 4
Emergency Service Personnel/First Responders to navigate upon Substandard Streets
with the increased congestion;
3. California Government Code provides that local agencies my impose
standards upon Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units that
include, but are not limited to, parking, height, setback, landscaping, architectural review,
maximum size of a unit, and standards that prevent adverse impacts upon any real
property that is listed in the California Register of Historic Resources;
4. The approval of Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory
Dwelling Units based solely on the statutory standards set forth in the California
Government Code, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape,
architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing
neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety;
B. Purpose and Intent. These regulations are provided pursuant to
Government Code §§65852.2 and 65852.22 to regulate the establishment, use, and
occupancy of Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units, and to
establish standards to regulate the placement and design of Accessory Dwelling Units
and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units in compliance with the Government Code. In
addition to compliance with all other applicable statutes, ordinances and regulations, the
regulations of Section 153.120.360 (“Accessory Dwelling Units - Use Regulations and
Development Standards”) shall apply to all Accessory Dwelling Units and the regulations
of Section 153.120.370 (“Junior Accessory Dwelling Units – Use Regulations and
Development Standards”) shall apply to all Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.
C. Definitions. Terms and phrases used in this Part shall have the same
meaning as set forth in Section 153.220 of this Chapter, unless otherwise defined herein.
Where there is a conflict between any term or phrase defined in Section 153.220 of this
Chapter and Section 153.120.350.C, the definition set forth in Section 153.120.350.C
shall control.
1. “Accessory Dwelling Unit” shall have the same meaning as that
stated in California Government Code Section 65852.2(j)(1), as that Section may be
amended from time to time. An “Accessory Dwelling Unit” shall also include any Second
Dwelling Unit lawfully established and approved by the City in any R-1 Zone.
2. “Accessory Dwelling Unit – Junior” and “Junior Accessory
Dwelling Unit” shall have the same meaning as that stated in California Government
Code Section 65852.22(h)(1), as that Section may be amended from time to time.
3. “Accessory structure” shall mean an existing detached structure
with a roof that is subordinate and incidental to a Primary Dwelling Unit that is located or
proposed to be located on the same lot (such as a garage, pool house, or carriage house).
4. “Multifamily Dwelling” shall mean two or more residential dwellings
that are attached to one another. “Multifamily Dwelling” shall not include multiple
dwellings on a single lot that are not attached to one another.
Page | 5
5. “Newly constructed” shall mean the construction of new walls and
roofs, either attached or detached to an existing Primary Dwelling Unit or to an existing
accessory structure on the lot or parcel.
6. “Owner” shall mean the property owner as set forth on the latest
equalized County assessment roll, and shall include the following natural persons:
a. Sole proprietor
b. Partner of a partnership
c. Member of a limited liability company
d. Executive Officer of a corporation
e. Trustor, trustee, or beneficiary of a trust
For purposes of Section 153.120.360.F.1 (“Accessory Dwelling Unit: Owner-Occupancy”)
and Section 153.120.370.F.1 (“Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit: Owner-Occupancy”), the

property upon which an Accessory Dwelling Unit exists, and shall not pay rent or other
compensation to reside at the property.
7. “Primary Dwelling Unit” shall mean any existing or proposed single-
unit dwelling that has been or will be legally established and is located on the same lot as
an existing or proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit.
8. “Public Transit” shall have the same meaning as that stated in
California Government Code Section 65852.2(j)(10) as that Section may be amended
from time to time.
9. “Tandem parking” shall have the same meaning as that stated in
California Government Code Section 65852.2(j)(11) as that Section may be amended

direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” and
15060(c)(3) “the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378.” The proposed
amendment does not meet the criteria defined in Section 15378. Furthermore, the
proposed amendment is exempt from the review for exemption pursuant to Section
Article 5, 15061(b)(3), “The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies
only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the
environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the

ITEM NO. ________7_________
`
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Benjamin Martinez, Community Development Director
DATE: November 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Approving an Implementation Agreement with the San Gabriel
Valley Habitat for Humanity, Inc., Nonprofit for the Purpose of
Developing 12-units of Affordable Homeownership for Low-
Income Families at 12779 Torch Street
SUMMARY
A request for consideration from the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park (hereinafter “City Council”)
to approve an Implementation Agreement with the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
(hereinafter “SGV Habitat”) for the purpose of developing 12-units of Affordable Homeownership for
Low-income Families at 12779 Torch Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council:
1. Approve the attached Implementation Agreement; and
2. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute the Implementation Agreement; and
3. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer and the City Attorney to carry out all subsequent and
needed actions to complete the development of the property.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no direct fiscal impacts from approving the Implementation Agreement. An Acquisition Loan
Agreement was already executed in March 2021 that outlined the city’s financial commitment to the
project. The Acquisition Loan Agreement authorized an interest-free loan in the amount of
$1,410,000.00, which was used by SGV Habitat to acquire the site. The city may receive future
revenues from development fees and property taxes related to the development of the project.
BACKGROUND
On March 17th, 2021 City Council approved an Acquisition Loan Agreement with Habitat and
authorized the Chief Executive Officer to execute the agreement. The Acquisition Loan Agreement
outlined the terms of an interest-free loan made to Habitat for the purposes of acquiring the site at
12779 Torch Street. On April 1, 2021 escrow closed on the property making Habitat the new owner.
Since then the property has been cleared of its improvements, fenced and a soils analysis was
completed to assure the site can be developed. The attached Implementation Agreement outlines the
development of the project including further defining the project, key milestone dates (i.e. rezoning, site
plan approval, environmental review) and affordability requirements
Economic Analysis:
Rosenow Spevacek Group (RSG), amongst other things, specializes in underwriting services for local
government agencies. RSG was contracted to do a peer review and underwriting analysis of Habitat’s
pro forma and concluded that the project was not over subsidized by the City and that Habitat’s
development costs were within a reasonable range. Please see the attached RSG analysis for further
details.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may decide to (1) execute the Implementation Agreement; (2) not to execute the
Implementation Agreement with SGV Habitat; (3) choose to negotiate further on the project.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report and Implementation Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as
to legal form and content.

SUBJECT: UNDERWRITING ANALYSIS – 12779 TORCH STREET
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
This memorandum provides RSG’s independent analysis of a proposed affordable housing
development at 12779 Torch Street (“Property”) by San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity
(“Developer”). The Developer plans to construct 12 ownership housing units affordable to low
income households. The City and Developer have an Acquisition Loan Agreement dated March 31,
2021 (“Agreement”) whereby the City will provide a $1,410,000 loan (“Loan”) from the housing
successor Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (“Housing Asset Fund”) for the Developer
to purchase the 0.81-acre Property. Upon the construction of the homes, the Loan shall be divided
and assumed by each of the purchasers of the 12 affordable units. Individual notes will be executed
between the purchasers and the City. The Loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note to be
entered into at the close of escrow at the Developer’s acquisition of the Property.
Based on a review of the Developer’s financial pro forma and site plan, RSG has determined the
$1,410,000 Loan is reasonable based on estimated construction costs, other proposed financing
sources, and projected sales price of the homes based on market rates and affordable housing
costs. Below is a summary of our findings, analysis, and recommendations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Developer plans to construct 12 3-bedroom, 3-story townhomes on the Property along with a
common open space area (“Project”). The Developer’s pro forma, dated October 12, 2021 is
attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Site plans, dated July 9, 2021, are attached as Exhibit 2. The site
plans include two options; both have the same estimated development cost. The Property is zoned
Garden Multi-Family Residential (R-G). The site plans indicate the Developer is requesting the
following alterations to development standards:
§ Increase in allowable building height from 27 feet to 33 feet
§ Allow private open space between dwelling unit and street
§ Allow encroachments into front setback and front/side setback as noted on site plans
The townhome units will be affordable to households earning up to 80% of the Los Angeles County
area median income (“AMI”).

FINANCNG PLAN
The Developer is proposing to acquire the Property and develop the Project with assistance from
several sources in order to achieve the targeted prices and rents as shown below:
Developer Financing
The Developer intends to obtain construction loans and contribute their own equity to construct the
Project. In October 2021, the Developer was underwriting with two commercial banks and one
Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) for construction financing. They anticipate
this financing will suffice for the needs of the project. One lender is considering financing up to $3
million, and two are considering $1 to $2 million, with the aim to grow from there.

Buyer Financing
The Developer estimates the buyers of the 12 affordable units will take out a commercial first
mortgage (estimated by the Developer at $302,000 per unit) and will contribute an estimated $5,500
towards their down payment.
Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds
The City has entered into an agreement to provide a $1,410,000 loan from Housing Asset Funds to
the Developer to purchase the Property. The loan shall bear no interest during construction. Upon
the construction of the homes, the Loan shall be divided and assumed by each of the purchasers of
the 12 affordable units ($117,500 per unit). Individual notes will be executed between the purchasers
and the City. The Loan shall be evidenced by a Promissory Note to be entered into at the close of
escrow at the Developer’s acquisition of the Property.
Other Gap Financing
The Developer plans on applying for CalHOME mortgage assistance funds from HCD. The
Developer should notify the City if they will be asked to partner on this application. A Notice of
Funding Availability was released on September 21, 2021 and applications due November 22, 2021.
The Developer also plans on providing a $5,000 subordinate loan per unit.
Gap Financing Need
RSG analyzed the gap financing need per unit and determined that each unit has a gap financing
need of $277,560 based on affordable housing costs for low income households earning up to 70%
of the AMI. The Developer anticipates each buyer will receive a CalHOME loan of $100,000 and a
Developer-funded loan of $5,000, leaving a remaining gap of $172,560. The City loan of $117,500
per unit will partially fulfill this need, with a remaining gap of $55,060.
Note that when calculating the maximum purchase price per unit, RSG conservatively assumed that
the low income units would be affordable to households that do not exceed 70% AMI. If the low
income units are occupied by households that have an AMI falling within the ranges of 70-80%, the
household’s mortgage limit would increase to be based on 30% of the gross income of the
household. The Developer has assumed that buyers will finance an average of $307,500 through
their down payment and commercial first mortgage, which would close the $55,060 gap.
Alternatively, the Developer could secure additional gap financing.
SUMMARY OF INITIAL FINDINGS
1. Development Costs
The Developer's total development costs for the Project are estimated at $6,354,800, or
$529,567 per unit. RSG performed a comprehensive analysis of the development costs for the
Project using Marshall and Swift Valuation Service (“MVS”) building cost data and determined
that the Developer’s estimated development cost is reasonable.
The Developer has not included prevailing wage costs in the pro forma. The Developer has
indicated that the project is exempt from prevailing wage requirements as a sweat equity project

CITY OF BALDWIN PARK
October 28, 2021

and because they are contributing down payment assistance. If the Project were subject to
prevailing wage, it typically increases construction costs by approximately 20-30%.
2. Developer Fee
A developer fee is taken to cover development costs. The Developer’s pro forma includes
Administration and Construction Management costs totaling $470,000 that will be paid to the
Developer in-lieu of a traditional developer fee. These costs are 9.5% of the project’s
construction costs. This is comparable to similar projects based on RSG’s experience; we
typically see developer fees ranging between 6% and 10% of construction costs.
3. Purchase Price
RSG performed a comprehensive analysis of the maximum purchase price for each unit at the
specified affordability levels, assuming a 30-year fixed rate mortgage and 3% interest rate.
Certain expenses also reduce a household’s maximum affordable housing cost. Therefore, RSG
accounted for the HOA cost ($200/month), insurance (estimated at $100/month), and property
taxes (~1.23% of purchase price annually) when calculating the maximum purchase price.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5(b)(3), the affordable housing cost for low
income households is 30% of 70% of the AMI adjusted for family size; however households
whose gross income falls within 70% to 80% AMI may have a higher affordable housing cost
based on 30% of the household’s gross income. RSG estimates that the maximum purchase
price is approximately $217,414 per unit for 70% AMI households and $410,527 per unit for 80%
AMI households to meet this requirement. The Developer assumed a purchase price between
these limits of $307,500.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Based on a review of the Developer’s financial pro forma and site plan, RSG has determined the
$1,410,000 Loan is reasonable based on estimated construction costs, other proposed financing
sources, and projected sales price of the homes based on market rates and affordable housing
costs.
Additional financing of up to $55,060 may be needed if all buyers have incomes up to 70% AMI;
however this gap will likely be made up by buyers who have incomes between 70-80% AMI. The
Developer pro forma assumes the unit purchase price will be between the 70-80% AMI range,
resulting in no financing gap and a small surplus of $5,200. This is a negligible difference and not
material enough to delay parties to proceed forward with the terms and conditions of the Loan
Agreement between the City and Developer.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. ________8_________
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Benjamin Martinez, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Carol Averell, Housing Manager
DATE: November 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Approval of Community Development Block Grant-COVID
(CDBG-CV) Public Service Grant Agreement for a Legal
Services Program to Assist Residential Tenants and
Landlords
SUMMARY
This report requests the City Council consider entering into a CDBG-CV public service grant agreement
in the amount of $50,000 with Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County (NLSLA), to provide
Baldwin Park tenants and landlords with legal services regarding evictions and rent control brought on
by COVID-19, and authorizing the Chief Executive Officer to execute the CDBG-CV public service grant
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Enter into a CDBG-CV public service grant agreement in the amount of $50,000 with NLSLA to
provide Baldwin Park tenants and landlords with legal services regarding evictions and rent
control brought on by COVID-19; and
2. Authorize the City Attorney to make any required conforming revisions to the grant agreement
as required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and direct the Chief
Executive Officer to execute a CDBG-CV public service grant agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council has approved the allocation of $50,000 in CDBG-CV funds for legal services on April
21, 2021. There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for the provisions of these services.
BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2021, staff presented Amendment No. Two (Substantial) to the FY 2019/20 Annual Action
Plan which programed a special allocation of CDBG-Coronavirus funding in the amount of $595,251.
The substantial amendment proposed the allocation of several programs including legal services to
assist Baldwin Park residents and tenants.
DISCUSSION
Staff has been working diligently to identify an organization that provides legal services, is familiar with
the CDBG and CDBG-CV requirements and also has the staff capacity to provide these services.
NLSLA was established in 1965 and is the principal legal aid organization serving the Antelope, San
Fernando, Pomona and San Gabriel Valleys, including the City of Baldwin Park. NLSLA is one of the
largest non-profit law firms in California, recognized state and nationwide as a premier legal services
organization. In 2019, NLSLA served, through representation, self-help and counsel and advice, over
100,000 people, the majority living at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level. NLSLA’s staff of
over 130 advocates and support personnel offer legal assistance and representation in housing, health,
employment, public benefits, immigration, consumer and domestic violence. NLSLA also provides
community education events at local schools, faith-based organizations, and other trust centers.
A key component of NLSLA’s mission, includes the provision of legal services to help prevent incidence
of homelessness and address the root causes of homelessness. They stand at the forefront of legal
innovation in homelessness prevention in L.A. County. NLSLA also leads the Shriver Housing Project-
LA (Shriver), the largest CA eviction assistance effort. In collaboration with the LA Superior Court and
public interest law firms, Shriver has provided legal assistance in nearly 10,000 eviction. NLSLA is a
core member of the Los Angeles Right to Counsel Coalition, which seeks to enshrine a right to counsel
for people facing eviction in L.A. and who cannot afford an attorney. NLSLA is also a partner with
LAHSA and six public interest law firms on Lawyers Preventing and Ending Homelessness Project
which represents clients who are either currently experiencing homelessness or who are at imminent
risk of homelessness.
Under this proposal, NLSLA would seek to assist HUD -income qualified (80% of Area Median Income
or less) residents of the City of Baldwin Park utilizing CDBG-CV funds with the following:
Monthly legal clinics (virtual) – To include education about tenant’s basic housing rights, including
special provisions related to COVID, counsel/advice about their legal issues, referrals to supportive
services and assignment of cases to our housing teams for higher level representation at their hearings.
This could possibly include court appearances or legal filings.
Current and Future Baldwin Park cases – NLSLA will utilize CDBG-CV Funds for current and existing
Baldwin Park cases only including evictions, rent increases, or other tenant/landlord issues including
those types of cases that under the hospice of the Los Angeles County COVID-19 Tenant Protections
Resolution adopted on September 28, 2021.
Referrals from Baldwin Park Staff – NLSLA will assist with cases referred by the City of Baldwin Park
staff and provide updates on cases, as needed.
Number of households to be assisted – This number can vary but for purposes of this agreement
NLSLA expects to assist approximately 30 to 80 households with some type of service.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney will review the public service grant agreement as to legal form and content.

13
determines that noncompliance cannot be remedied by imposing additional conditions, the City may take one or more of the following actions, including but not limited to: (a) Temporarily withhold cash payment pending correction of the deficiency or more severe enforcement action by the City; (b) Disallow both use of funds and any applicable matching credit for all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance; (c) Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the award; (d) Initiate suspension or debarment proceedings as authorized under 2 CFR Part 180 and applicable regulations or recommend such proceedings be initiated by HUD; (e) Withhold further federal awards for the project or program; and (f) Take other remedies that may be legally available including, but not limited to litigation, declaratory judgment, specific performance, damages, injunctions, enforcement of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenant, termination of the Agreement, or any other available remedies. 6.2 Defaults: In the event either Party fails to perform, or adhere to, any applicable duty, obligation or standard of conduct set forth under this Agreement (or fails to perform or adhere to any such duty, obligation or standard of conduct at the time, place or manner set forth in this Agreement), an event of default (hereinafter, “Event of Default”) shall have occurred. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if an Event of Default remains uncured by the defaulting Party for a period in excess of thirty (30) calendar days from the date upon which the non-defaulting Party issues notice of default (hereinafter, a “Default Notice”) to the defaulting Party, then the default shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. If a Party is in breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may pursue any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity. If Subrecipient is in breach (whether or not such breach is caused by Subrecipient or Subrecipient’s officials, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or subconsultants, City may, in its sole and absolute discretion (and without obligation), terminate this Agreement upon the issuance of five (5) calendar days prior written notice of termination on the grounds of breach (a “Breach-Termination Notice”). City’s ability to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section shall be in addition to any other remedies City may have at law or in equity in the event of breach and shall not be in lieu of such other remedies. 6.3 Suspension and Termination: Subrecipient and City shall comply with the noncompliance and termination provisions in 2 CFR Part 200. In addition to the other remedies for noncompliance, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(i) Lack of Funding. If, for any reason, the CDBG-CV Funds required by City to fund the Eligible Expenses are not received by City or are withdrawn from City, the City may unilaterally terminate or modify the terms of this Agreement to reflect the loss of funding, which modification may
For Internal Reference Only: Contract No. BP-CDBG-CV-PSA 20.105
14
include without limitation a reduction in the CDBG-CV Funding Cap and/or further restrictions on the range of costs or expenses that qualify as Eligible Expenses.
(ii) By City. As provided by 2 CFR §§200.338 and 339, the City may suspend or terminate this Agreement in whole or in part if Subrecipient fails to comply with any terms and conditions of this Agreement or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or any other breach of this Agreement. In accordance with 2 CFR §200.339, the City may also terminate this Agreement with the consent of Subrecipient, in which case, Subrecipient and City must agree upon the termination conditions, including the effective date, and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated.
(iii) By Subrecipient. Under 2 CFR §200.339(a)(4), this Agreement may also be terminated by Subrecipient by providing City with written notification setting forth the reason for such termination, the effective date and in the case of partial termination, the portion to be terminated. In the case of partial termination, if City determines that the reduced or modified portion of the award will not accomplish the purposes for which the award was made, the City may terminate the award and this Agreement in its entirety.
(iv) Termination for Convenience. City may, by written notice to Subrecipient, terminate this Agreement at any time for convenience and without cause or penalty by giving written notice to Subrecipient of such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof, at least five (5) calendar days before the effective date of such termination. Upon such termination for convenience, Subrecipient shall be compensated only for those Eligible Expenses incurred prior to the effective date of City’s termination. In no event shall Subrecipient be entitled to funding for any Eligible Expenses incurred after the effective date of termination. If this award is terminated or partially terminated, the Subrecipient remains responsible for compliance with the closeout requirements in 2 CFR §200.343 and post-closeout requirements set forth in 2 CFR §200.344. 6.4 Scope of Waivers. No waiver of any default or breach under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant, warranty, agreement, term, condition, duty or requirement contained in this Agreement. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party shall give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise. 6.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. All remedies provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided by law.

For Internal Reference Only: Contract No. BP-CDBG-CV-PSA 20.105
15
any other default by the other Party.
VII.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Under this proposal, NLSLA would seek to assist HUD 1-income qualified (80% of Area Median Income or less) residents of the City of Baldwin Park utilizing CDBG-CV 2 Funds with the following:
Monthly legal clinics (virtual) – To include education about tenant’s basic housing rights, including special provisions related to COVID, counsel/advice about their legal issues, referrals to supportive services and assignment of cases to our housing teams for higher level representation at their hearings. This could possibly include court appearances or legal filings.
Current and Future Baldwin Park cases – NLSLA will utilize CDBG-CV Funds for current and existing Baldwin Park cases only including evictions, rent increases, or other tenant/landlord issues including those types of cases that under the hospice of the Los Angeles County COVID-19 Tenant Protections Resolution adopted on September 28, 2021.
Referrals from Baldwin Park Staff – NLSLA will assist with cases referred by the City of Baldwin Park staff and provide updates on cases, as needed.
Number of households to be assisted – This number can vary but for purposes of this agreement NLSLA expects to assist approximately 30 to 80 households with some type of service. Both parties to this agreement agree that the types of services contemplated under this agreement are limited by many factors including an ever-growing demand from the public for legal assistance during the on-going pandemic and the fact that the number of legal resources that can be provided by NLSLA are finite. For this reason, it is understood and agreed by both parties that NLSLA will make best efforts to provide assistance under the terms and conditions of this agreement but that said services will be adjusted, if deemed appropriate by NLSLA, within the scope of NLSLA priorities.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert N. Tafoya, City Attorney
DATE: November 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Consideration of Amendment to the Rent Stabilization
Ordinance of the City of Baldwin Park to Clarify Certain
Provisions
SUMMARY
On December 4, 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1447 to temporarily freeze rents for
120 days in the City of Baldwin Park, prohibit certain residential units from rent increases in excess of
3% in any 12 month period, and regulating the reasons landlords are permitted to terminate certain
residential tenancies. To address the concerns of residents and to clarify provisions in Rent Stabilization
Ordinance, the City Council directed staff to draft changes to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance. If
desired, the City Council may take action on the proposed changes to the Rent Control Ordinance
during the next City Council Meeting, or table the item for further consideration. During the City Council
Meeting of November 3, 2021, the City Council requested the inclusion of multifamily units, condos,
and single family homes into the RSO; and directed staff to research the legalities/restrictions tied to
the changes including mobile homes; and directed staff to conduct outreach to tenants and landlords
on the proposed changes; and present said changes during a study session.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, Ordinance 1466 entitled:
“An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park, California, Amending Chapter 11, Section
129 to the Baldwin Park Municipal Code Prohibiting Residential Real Property and Mobile Home Space
Rental Rate Increases that Exceed Three Percent (3%) Annually, or Eighty Percent (80%) of the
Change in Consumer Price Index, whichever is Less, within the City”, and direct staff to bring back for
second reading and adoption at the next regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The City of Baldwin Park City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1447 on December 4, 2019 to
temporarily freeze rents for 120 days in the City of Baldwin Park (until April 3, 2020), prohibit certain
residential units from rent increases in excess of 3% in any 12 month period, and regulating the reasons
landlords are permitted to terminate certain residential tenancies, also called Just Cause Eviction.
The changes to the Ordinance 1447 proposed by staff address typographical errors in the ordinance,
add terms to further strengthen the Ordinance and clarify sections for the benefit of both tenants and
landlords. The additional terms prohibit landlords from raising or instituting new fees for services that
were included in the rent previously, such as water, electricity and parking in order to circumvent the
rent increase cap of 3%.
Ordinance 1447 does not have a separate eviction freeze, only a rent freeze, also called a rent
moratorium. This rent moratorium ended on April 3, 2020. However, the City enacted a separate
emergency eviction Freeze due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This local eviction freeze brought
the city in line with the statewide emergency order. The statewide emergency order ended on
September 30, 2020. However, LA County has now enacted a rent freeze ordinance that applies to
the City of Baldwin Park.
FISCAL IMPACT
The registration fee of $28.00 per affected housing unit has remained unchanged and is expected to
generate approximately $40,000 annually to reimburse the City for a portion staff costs associated with
the administration of the RSO. After the adoption of Ordinance No. 1447, post cards were mailed
providing notice of the registration requirement. Just under 25% of the estimated units have registered
thus far. A second post card notice was mailed at the end of August reminding landlords to pay the fee
by September 10th or they will be subject to a penalty of 150% per controlled rental unit.
CEQA
Pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3) of the California State CEQA Guidelines, the amendments to the City
of Baldwin Park’s Municipal Code are exempt from CEQA, as they do not have the potential for causing
a significant effect on the environment.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may also select to table this item to the next regularly scheduled City Council Meeting
and provide further direction to staff on the proposed Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.
ATTACHMENTS
Ordinance 1466 will be available for review prior to November 17, 2021.
ATTACHMENT 1 – Table of Changes to Ordinance 1447
Section Original Revision Effect
129.04(b) If there was no rent in
effect on the date one year
prior to the adoption of this
Ordinance, the base rent
ceiling shall be the rent that
was charged on the first
date that rent was charged.
If there was no rent
in effect on the date one
year prior to the adoption of
this Ordinance, the base
rent ceiling shall be the rent
that was charged on the
first date that rent was
charged subsequent to the
date one year prior to the
adopt of this Ordinance.
The original
required landlords to set
the base rent at the
point tenants first moved
into the unit. This could
potentially have set
base rent at values from
2018 or earlier. A 10-
year tenant would have
base rent values set as
early as 2010.
The revision limits the
inquiry to one year prior
to the adoption of the
RSO.
129.04(c) Landlord may increase the
“base rent ceiling” according
to the United States
Department of Labor,
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers or
CPI-U. The maximum
increase in rent based on
the CPI-U is three percent
(3%) per twelve-month
period. Thus, no base rent
ceiling may be increased
more than three percent
(3%) during any twelve-
month period.
Landlord may increase rent
according to the United
States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Consumer Price
Index for All Urban
Consumers or CPI-U. The
maximum increase in rent
based on the CPI-U is
three percent (3%) per
twelve-month period. Thus,
the rent for any controlled
unit shall not be increased
more than three percent
(3%) during any twelve-
month period. An increase
made pursuant to this
subsection shall establish a
new “base rent ceiling” for
the affected unit.
The original language
confused landlords,
because they thought
they could increase the
base rent ceiling and
then increase the rent
on top of the base rent
ceiling increase.
The revision aims to
clarify that the rent
cannot be raised more
than 3% in a year and
that making an increase
in rent establishes the
new base rent.
Section Original Revision Effect
129.04(d) If the Consumer Price Index
(CPI-U) is zero or less than
one percent, then the
landlord may increase rent
to one percent (1%).
If the Consumer Price
Index (CPI-U) is any
number less than one
percent (1%), then the
landlord may increase rent
up to one percent (1%).
The “zero or one
percent” language
caused confusion.
The aim of this revision
was to clarify that
landlords may raise rent
by 1% if the CPI-U is
1% or less.
129.04(e) As soon as the landlord is
aware of the maximum
allowable rent, the landlord
shall post it for each unit in
a prominent place in or
about the affected controlled
rental units. The City may
require that other
information it deems
relevant also be posted.
The landlord has a duty to
post the maximum
allowable rent prior to any
increase. [Original
Language intact]
The original language
potentially rewarded a
landlord’s willful
ignorance.
The aim of the revision
is to clarify that the
landlord has a duty to
post the maximum rent.
129.05(a) Upon receipt of a petition by
a landlord, the rent of
individual controlled rental
units may be adjusted
upward above the maximum
allowable in accordance
with the procedures set forth
elsewhere in this Ordinance.
Upon receipt of a petition
by a landlord, the rent of
individual controlled rental
units may be adjusted
upward above the
maximum allowable in
accordance with the
procedures set forth in this
section.
The aim of this revision
is to clarify that section
129.05 contains the
hearing procedure.
129.06 The request must be made
in writing, describe all facts
to the negative cash flow,
and be on an approved form
the City will provide.
The request must be made
in writing, describing all
facts to the negative cash
flow, provide any
documents to be
considered by the City
Council, and be on an
approved form the City will
provide. [Remainder of
original Language intact]
For a petition under this
section, the hearing
process and procedures
under Section 129.05 will
apply.
The original language
did not require
documentation or
reference the procedure
for the hearing.
The aim of the revision
is to require
documentation to be
provided prior to the
hearing and for the
hearing process to be
handled according to
the procedure outlined
in Section 129.05
Section Original Revision Effect
129.7 Section 129.7 Section 129.07 Numbering change to
bring the section in line
with the other sections
of the RSO.
129.8 Section 129.8 Section 129.08 Numbering change to
bring the section in line
with the other sections
of the RSO.
129.8 No landlord shall take action
to terminate any tenancy
including but not limited, to
making a demand for
possession of a rental unit,
threatening to terminate a
tenancy, serving any notice
to quit or other eviction
notice or bringing any action
to recover possession or be
granted recovery of
possession of a controlled
rental unit unless:
No landlord shall take
action to terminate any
tenancy including but not
limited to, making a
demand for possession of
a rental unit, threatening to
terminate a tenancy,
serving any notice to quit or
other eviction notice, or
bring any action to recover
possession, or be granted
recovery of possession of a
controlled rental unit unless
one of the following apply:
The original could be
read to require that all
ten subsections
requirements be
present. Some of these
would inherently conflict.
The revisions attempt to
clarify that one of the
ten provisions must be
present.
129.11(d)(4) The landlord seeks to
recover possession of the
rental unit in order to comply
with a governmental
agency's order to vacate,
order to comply, order to
abate, or any other order
that necessitates vacating
the rental unit as a result of
a significant or extended
violation of housing, health,
building or safety laws of the
state of California or the City
of Pasadena which would
result in a constructive
eviction.
The landlord seeks to
recover possession of the
rental unit in order to
comply with a
governmental agency's
order to vacate, order to
comply, order to abate, or
any other order that
necessitates vacating the
rental unit as a result of a
significant or extended
violation of housing, health,
building or safety laws of
the state of California or
the City of Baldwin Park
which would result in a
constructive eviction.
Original incorrectly listed
the City as Pasadena
instead of Baldwin Park
Section Original Revision Effect
129.12 Landlord must provide a
factual basis in writing to the
City. The pass-through, if
approved, will run with the
units.
The landlord must provide
a factual basis in writing to
the City describing all facts
of the passthrough, any
documents to be
considered by the City, and
any receipts to be
considered by the City. The
passthrough, if approved,
will run with the units for
five years. [Remainder of
Original Language intact]
For a petition under this
section, the hearing
process and procedures
under Section 129.05 will
apply.
The original section did
not fully expand on how
a landlord could show
the factual basis
required. It also was
unclear as to the
hearing process.
The revision attempts to
clarify this by expanding
on the requirements for
documents and receipts.
The revision also refers
the landlord to the
hearing process in
section 129.05.
129.15 By Petition to the City
Council, any landlord may
seek a rent increase above
three percent based on
providing "just cause" for
the increase.
Landlord must provide
factual basis in writing to the
City.
By petition to the City
Council, any landlord may
seek a rent increase above
three percent (3%) based
on providing “just cause”
for the increase. [Original
Language intact] The
landlord must provide a
factual basis in writing to
the City Council describing
all facts of the “just cause”
increase and any
documents to be
considered. [Original
Language intact] For a
petition under this section,
the hearing process and
procedures under Section
129.05 will apply.
The original section did
not fully expand on how
a landlord could show
the factual basis
required. It also was
unclear as to the
hearing process.
The revision attempts to
clarify this by expanding
on the requirements for
documents. The revision
also refers the landlord
to the hearing process
in section 129.05.
Section Original Revision Effect
129.19 Any provision, whether oral
or written in or pertaining to
a rental housing agreement
whereby any provision of
this Ordinance for the
benefit of the tenant is
waived, shall be deemed to
be against public policy and
shall be void.
Any provision, whether oral
or written in or pertaining to
a rental housing
agreement, whereby any
provision of this Ordinance
is waived, for the benefit of
the tenant, shall be
deemed to be against
public policy and shall be
void
A common was added
after the word waived.
This was added to
clarify that the
provisions of the RSO
are for the benefit of the
tenant.
129.21(c) If the tenant from whom
such excessive payment is
demanded, accepted,
received or retained in
violation of the foregoing
provisions of this Ordinance
or any rule or regulation or
order hereunder
promulgated fails to bring a
civil or administrative action
as provided for in this
Ordinance within one
hundred eighty (120) days
from the date of occurrence
of the violation, the City may
settle the claim arising out
of the violation or bring such
action.
If the tenant from whom
such excessive payment is
demanded, accepted,
received, or retained in
violation of the foregoing
provisions of this
Ordinance or any rule of
regulation or order
hereunder promulgated
fails to bring a civil or
administrative action as
provided for in this
Ordinance within one
hundred eighty (180) days
from the date of the
occurrence of the violation,
the City may settle the
claim arising out of the
violation or bring such
action.
The original contained a
conflict between the
amount written and the
numerical amount: one
hundred eighty vs (120).
The revision brings the
numerical amount in line
with the written amount.
192.22 192.22 129.22 Numbering change to
bring the section in line
with the other sections
of the RSO.
192.22 Any landlord violating this
Ordinance shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor.
Any landlord found to be in
willful or continuous
violation of this Ordinance
shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.
The original made every
violation, even minor or
incidental violation a
crime. The revision
allows landlords to
remedy any violations
without immediate
criminal action by the
City.
Section Original Revision Effect
129.25 To the extent that the
amendments to Ordinance
adopted at the same time as
this Section incorporate
rules, regulations and
practices of the City existing
on the date of the adoption
hereof, this amendment is
declarative of existing law
and does not impose any
new requirements or limit
any existing ones.
To the extent that the
amendments to this
Ordinance adopted at the
same time as this Section
incorporate rules,
regulations, and practices
of the City existing on the
date of the adoption hereof,
this amendment is
declarative of existing law
and does not impose any
new requirements or limit
any existing ones.
Added the word “this” to
the opening phrase to
clarify that the section
applied to the RSO and
not to Ordinances in
general.
129.26 Single Family homes,
Mobile homes, and
duplexes are automatically
exempt from the provisions
of this Ordinance.
Single family homes,
mobile homes, mobile
home spaces, duplexes,
trailers, and trailer spaces
are automatically exempt
from the provisions of this
Ordinance. For the
purposes of this section,
the phrase “single family
home” shall be defined by
its normal use and
common construction.
This original did not
completely reflect the
definitions listed in
Section 129.01. The
revision added the
additional exemptions
reflected in that section
and aims to clarify that
“single family home” is a
commonly used housing
term and not a term with
a specific legal
definition.
