COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR, CHIEF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST, CITY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER, LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER AND BUREAU OF SANITATION relative to a proposed amendment to Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 64.70 and 64.72 to include a Low-Impact Development Ordinance and related matters.
Fiscal Impact Statement: None submitted.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
(Energy and Environment Committee report to be submitted in Council. If public hearing is not held in Committee, an opportunity for public comment will be provided.)

ADOPTED
COMMUNICATION FROM CHAIR, ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE relative to proposed amendments to Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Sections 64.70 and 64.72 to include a Low-Impact Development (LID) Ordinance.
Recommendation for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Greuel - Reyes):
1. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an ordinance (aka LID Ordinance) to amend LAMC Sections 64.70 and 64.72 to expand the applicability of the existing Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) requirements as detailed in the Joint City Administrative Officer (CAO)/Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) report that was presented in Committee on December 14, 2010 and is attached to the Committee report.
2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to prepare a final LID section for its Development Best Management Practices Handbook and to present said section to Council at the time that the City Attorney prepares and presents the final Ordinance as described above in Recommendation No. 1.
3. REQUEST the City Attorney to further incorporate in the Ordinance, as described above in Recommendation No. 1, the amendments as detailed in the communications from Paramount Studios and Central City Association (CCA) and attached to the Committee report.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The CAO/CLA report that adoption of the proposed LID Ordinance will integrate project compliance review into the existing SUSMP plan review process. The BOS currently reviews 600 plans per year under the SUSMP Program and anticipates an additional 700 plans to be reviewed per year under the LID Ordinance. It is anticipated that 500 of these additions will fall into the smaller residential categories (4 units or less). As compliance with the LID for these applicants will require them to choose from a list of prescriptive Best Management Practices (BMP) and does not require any engineering calculations, the BOS does not anticipate intensive reviews of these projects.· The cost for performing the reviews will be recovered through the revised plan review fee.
The LID Ordinance does not require any additional staff in the BOS, City Planning Department (Planning) or the Department of Building and Safety (Building and Safety). Planning's review is currently conducted as part of the entitlement process and currently reviews projects for many issues; the cost of reviews are collected from fees for that purpose. Building and Safety will refer the review for compliance to Sanitation's counter staff for approval. Inspection of construction and grading is done as a normal part of their inspection process and is covered through existing construction and grading permit fees.
The BOS’s LID work load will be absorbed into its existing SUSMP staffing for the Stormwater Program. The cost of these positions is approximately $500,000. Total revenue from SUSMP and LID, fees will fully cover these costs. This excludes any peripheral support of the program such as industrial waste inspections. The proposed amendment also requires that all City Departments provide support as part of any off-site mitigation. Those costs cannot be determined at this time but efforts will be made to reimburse any General Fund expenditures. SUSMP fees are currently only covering about $200,000 of these costs. The additional revenue from LID fees will be phased in as work materializes and is estimated at up to $500,000 annually. In compliance with City financial and budget policies, the fee will be reviewed annually to maintain fees in line with applicable charges.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXEMPTION and TRADE, COMMERCE, AND TOURISM COMMITTEE REPORT relative to proposed contract with Clark/McCarthy Joint Venture (Clark/McCarthy) for Design-Build services in connection with the Central Utility Plant (CUP) Replacement Project at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Recommendations for Council action:

Los Angeles World Airport (LAWA) staff notes that utilizing the Design-Build process is an expeditious delivery method for the complex CUP Replacement Project, to strive for the likelihood of a successful, timely project completion with minimum inconvenience to the traveling public and day-to-day airport operations and which will replace an existing CUP that no longer is able to fulfill current heating and cooling demands and does not have the capacity to meet increased demands that are anticipated as the expansion and modernization of LAX continues. The proposed capital funds appropriation request of $374,900,874 will be allocated from the LAX Airport Revenue Fund, designated Elements as required. Since the LAWA is only bound by the City Debt Management Policies, the City Financial Policies are not applicable.
