Re: Resolution in support of measures to attain federal clean air standards.
Dear Council Members:
Every three to five years, we prepare an overall plan for air quality improvement — our
roadmap to clean air. The AQMD has recently released the Draft 2007 Air Quality
Management Plan. We ask for your support to call on the California Air Resources Board
and the federal Environmental Protection Agency to substantially accelerate their emission
reduction programs. A resolution of support is attached for your consideration.
Since most air pollution is generated by mobile sources — including everything from cars
and trucks to ships, trains and planes —much of the plan focuses on proposed measures to
reduce mobile source emissions. What makes this planning cycle exceptionally challenging
is the adoption of new federal clean air standards, and their fast-approaching attainment
deadlines. By 2015, we must be in attainment for fine particulate, or PM2.5, and by 2021,
for ozone.
This battle is not just about the numbers. New and additional health studies indicate urgent
public health concerns, especially from fine particulates. This includes impaired lung
function for children growing up in this region, increased episodes of respiratory disease
symptoms, an increase in doctor visits for heart disease, and an increase in death rates.
A monumental challenge faces our region; requiring all sectors to work together to meet
these near-impossible compliance deadlines. If we fail to come into compliance, this region
may face severe sanctions, including the withholding of transportation funds. Since most air
pollution is generated by mobile sources, it is absolutely critical for both the state and
federal governments to accelerate their efforts to significantly reduce the emissions from
these sources.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please contact me at (909) 396-3373 if you
have any questions or need any additional information. We will be available to provide
testimony in support of this request before your council.
Sincerely,
Rainbow Yeung

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT'S
DRAFT 2007 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOCUSING ON
MOBILE SOURCE CONTROLS.
WHEREAS, the over 16.5 million individuals residing within the jurisdictional boundaries of
the South Coast Air Quality Management District are impacted by the poorest air quality in the nation,
despite some of the most advanced pollution control requirements in the world yielding dramatic
improvements in recent decades;
WHEREAS, health studies conducted in this region repeatedly show that residents are suffering
significant health effects from today's air pollution, including cancer and chronic conditions, such as
asthma, emphysema, and heart and pulmonary diseases, among others;
WHEREAS, the California Air Resources Board recently estimated that approximately 8,200
Californians die prematurely each year as a result of air pollution, and that residents who live, work, or
go to school in close proximity to marine port and goods-movement activities are subjected to
unhealthful levels of air pollution, resulting in numerous health problems;
WHEREAS, a landmark study noted that the lungs of children born in Southern California today
are not likely to fully develop and may never recover from smog's damage, and that children are
.especially susceptible to the harmful effects of air pollution;
WHEREAS, this region has exceeded the health-based federal 8-hour ozone standard on 86 days
in 2006;
WHEREAS, the recently revised 24-hour PM2.5 standard is more stringent and more health-
protective than the prior clean air standards;
WHEREAS, there is a fast-approaching PM2.5 attainment deadline of 2015, and an even more
challenging 8-hour ozone attainment deadline of 2021 or 2024, necessitating additional emissions
reductions;
WHEREAS, failure to meet these deadlines will prolong the adverse health impacts to residents
and could trigger significant federal economic and administrative sanctions on this region; .
WHEREAS, the South Coast Air Quality Management (AQMD) has the responsibility to draft
and implement a plan to bring this region into compliance with clean air standards, and is about to
issue the Draft 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP);
WHEREAS,AQMD's primary regulatory authority to reduce air pollution is limited to reducing
emissions from stationary sources, such as power plants, refineries, chemical plants, gas stations,
industrial facilities as well as operational requirements for mobile sources - and the AQMP addresses
the need to further reduce emissions from all sources to help reach clean air goals;
WHEREAS, stationary sources have already have reduced emissions upwards of 90% and
mobile sources are the primary source of emissions in the basin and remain comparatively under-
regulated;
WHEREAS, the AQMP has identified that the majority of emissions reductions must be
achieved through further control of mobile sources—including,but not limited to cars, trucks, ships,
trains, and planes;
WHEREAS,the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
have most of the authority over mobile source emissions, and the Southern California Association of
Governments is responsible for developing the plan's transportation control measures;
WHEREAS, the Draft AQMP focuses on additional measures that the California Air Resources
Board and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can implement to reduce mobile source emissions,
especially from locomotives and ocean-going ships;
NOW,THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that by adoption of this resolution, the City of
declares that there is an urgent need for all responsible authorities to
expeditiously adopt and aggressively implement effective control strategies to reduce emissions as
quickly as possible, and;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the City of strongly
supports the development of the South Coast Air Quality Management District's Draft 2007 Air
Quality Management Plan focusing on mobile source controls, and;

Sample 2007 AQMP Support Letter
Dear
On behalf of the we call upon the California Air
Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to substantially accelerate their mobile
source emission reduction programs in our region by implementing the measures in the Draft 2007 Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP) developed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Despite some of the most advanced pollution control requirements in the world yielding dramatic
improvements in recent decades, the 16 '/2 million residents in this region continue to be impacted by the
poorest air quality in the nation. Health studies conducted in this region repeatedly show that residents
are suffering significant heath effects from today's air pollution, including cancer and chronic conditions
such as asthma, emphysema, and heart and pulmonary diseases, among others.
The South Coast Air Basin exceeded the health-based federal 8-hour ozone standard on 86 days in 2006,
and the recently revised 24-hour PM2.5 standard is more stringent and more health-protective than the
prior clean air standards. There is a fast-approaching PM2.5 attainment deadline of 2015, and an even
more challenging 8-hour ozone attainment deadline of 2021,necessitating additional emissions
reductions. Any failure to meet these deadlines will prolong the adverse health impacts to residents and
could trigger significant federal economic and administrative sanctions on this region.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District has the responsibility to draft and implement a plan
to bring this region into compliance with clean air standards, and is about to issue the draft plan. The
Draft AQMP has identified that a majority of the emission reductions must be achieved through further
control of mobile sources—including, but not limited to cars, trucks, ships, trains,.and planes. The
California Air Resources Board and the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency have most of the
authority over mobile source emissions, and the Southern California Association of Governments is
responsible for developing the plan's transportation control measures.
Therefore, the City declares that there is an urgent need for all
responsible authorities to expeditiously adopt and aggressively implement effective control strategies to
reduce emissions as quickly as possible, and strongly supports the development of the South Coast Air
Quality Management District's Draft 2007 AQMP focusing on mobile source controls. The City also
calls upon the California Air Resources Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection agency to
substantially accelerate their emission reduction programs in our region by implementing the AQMP
measures within their respective authorities.

Southern California Must Preserve
'its Supply of Clean Natural Gas to Prevent Increased Air
Pollution
FACT SHEET
•—For-decades;Southern-Californias s-relied-on-clea"ataral-gas-to
minimize air pollution from its homes, businesses and industries. The
current supply meets AQMD's requirements.
• Due to a projected growth in natural gas demand and to replace existing
--- - gas supply, gas providers plan-to-import huge quantities of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) from overseas. Shipped by tanker vessels to import
terminals along the West Coast of the United States and Baja Mexico, the
fuel is re-gasified at the terminals and then piped to consumers in
Southern California. Sempra Energy's Energia Costa Azul LNG import
terminal in Baja, in conjunction with Sempra's subsidiary Southern
California Gas Co., will begin such imports as early as next year.
• LNG from overseas is known to contain impurities that cause it to bum
hotter and dirtier, resulting in increased air pollution.
• Southern California Gas Co: estimates that 1 billion cubic feet of imported
gas will result in an additional 1.2 tons per day of smog-forming nitrogen
oxide emissions –equivalent to that from 120,000 cars. The AQMD
believes the actual air pollution impact will be much higher_
• . Increased air pollution will add to the already serious health burden in
Southern California, the most polluted region in the country. Increased
health effects mean higher health costs for residents.
• The use of dirty natural.gas imported from overseas may cause some
business to violate air pollution permit conditions, raising their compliance
costs.
Imported natural gas can be treated to prevent excess emissions, adding
less than 1 percent to the cost of the gas.
To preserve the region's supply of clean natural gas, AQMD has:
• Proposed a measure in its 2007 Air Quality Management Plan that would
require imported natural gas to be as clean as natural gas currently
supplied to the region; and
• Filed a lawsuit seeking to compel the California Public Utilities
Commission to study the environmental impacts of using dirty imported
gas and to mitigate air pollution impacts from its use.
Southern California Must Preserve
its Supply of Clean-Natural Gas to Prevent Increased Air
Pollution
MYTHS & REALITIES
Myth: AQMD's efforts to preserve the quality of natural gas will result in a _
curtailment or prohibition of the use of domestic natural gas currently supplied
from the Rocky Mountain Basin and parts of California.
Reality: AQMD's proposed control measure will not prohibit or curtail use of
natural gas from domestic sources. This gas meets AQMD's criteria and its
continued use will not worsen air quality. AQMD is focused on preventing the
importation and use, without treatment, of dirty gas from overseas.
Myth: AQMD's plan will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the regional cost of
natural gas.
Reality: Overseas imported natural gas is significantly cheaper than domestic
gas. Even with an added 1 percent cost to clean dirty imported gas, Southern
California consumers should see reduced gas costs overall as a result of
importing lower-cost gas from overseas.
Myth: AQMD's proposal would require 25 treatment facilities costing over$2
billion.
Reality: Although eight new natural gas import terminals have been proposed,
only two or three will probably be built to serve Southern California. One
proposed terminal plans to bring in gas that meets AQMD's proposal. Two others
plan to install treatment facilities that would enable them to comply with AQMD's
proposal.
Myth: AQMD's proposal is unprecedented.
Reality: Natural gas is already being treated at the Dominion Cove Point LNG
terminal near Baltimore, an area with much less severe air pollution than
Southern California.

DESCRIPTION OF SOURCE CATEGORY
The purpose of this control measure is to minimize potential future emission increases from the
combustion of natural gas in stationary applications.
Background
Natural gas is a combustible,.gaseous mixture composed primarily of methane (CH4), with
lesser amounts of ethane (Cz1f6); propane (C3118), butane (C41110)'and pentane (C51112); oxygen
and inert compounds such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The table below compares the
natural gas characteristics of-the current system average for Southern California Gas Company
(SoCalGas), California-produced natural gas, and current LNGs supplies that may be imported
in the future.

The natural gas currently supplied to AQMD and San Diego County is close to the System
Average in the chart,with a typical 95%methane, 1020 Btu/scf higher heating value(H"and
1332 Btu/scf Wobbe Index(WI). In counties north of AQMD, wherelocal gas.production is
significant,the average gas has a higher HHV and WI than in AQMD. SoCalGas Rule 30 would

Draft Appendix IV-A: Stationary Source Control Measures CM#2007CMB-04

allow the mixing of local gases with a HHV up to 1150 Btu/scf and a WI up to 1431 Btu/scf into
their distribution system. -- -- -
The increasing demand for natural gas indicates that there is a need for importation of Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) from foreign countries. One LNG terminal is under construction in Baja.
California, and several more are proposed, that will bring LNG to Southern. Introducing LNG
which contains higher concentrations of heavier hydrocarbon components into the distribution
system will result in a different mixture of gas quality than traditional supplies. The change in
gas quality will directly affect air quality and performance of the machinery and end-user
appliances. The effect would depend on the type of burner and how the device was tuned to its
previous gas supply. Studies have shown that some combustion devices are relatively
insensitive to changes in-gas quality, while others can have increased NOx, CO and-soot
emissions. Sensitive devices include appliances with closed combustion chambers(i.e. ovens),
low-NOx boilers with lean premix burners, microturbines, lean-bum natural gas engines, and
large gas turbines with dry low-NOx combustors. Sensitive devices can have NOx emission.
increases from 20 to over 100% with hot gas. Appropriate tuning may reduce the emissions
increase.
The Natural Gas Council's Interchangeability Work Group's white paper provides a good
discussion of natural gas interchangeability, and identifies the needed research to address the
unknowns with gas quality, particularly with industrial combustion equipment where little
testing has been done. It found that WI was an effective screening tool for interchangeability,
but alone is not sufficient to adequately predict all combustion phenomena. As an interim
approach, it recommends that new gas supplies should not exceed the local historical average
WI by more than i4.0%and a maximum WI of 1400 Btu/scf, maximum HHV of 1100 Btu/scf,
and maximums gas composition limits of 1.5%butane+and 4%total inerts.
Regulatory History
California Public Utilities Commission(PUC)'General Order 59-has standards for the hydrogen
sulfide and total sulfide content of gas(0.25 grain/100 scf and 5 grains/100 scf, respectively)but
does not contain standards for HHV or WI
SoCalGas's Tariff Rule 30 applies only to "customer-owned gas" and has qas quality
specifications for HHV,WI, moisture content,hydrogen sulphide, mercaptan sulfur, total sulfur,
carbon dioxide, oxygen, inerts, and hydrocarbons and other properties. It allows a wide range of
HHV(970-1150 Btu/scf)and a wide range of WI(t10).
Since 2004, under the order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the PUC
has initiated'a Rulemaking 04-01-025 to address the sufficiency of natural gas supplies and
mfiastructure in.California. In a Phase 2 proceeding of Rulemaking 04-01-025, SoCalGas.
proposed to limit the W1 to a range of 1290 to, 1400 Btu/scf, and AQMD recommended a
maximum WI for new large gas supplies of 1332 t2%, or 1360 Btu/scf in,order to reduce
emission impacts. The PUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed'decision,and
adopted the alternate proposed decision in September 2006. In general, the.PUC directs
SOCaIGas to file a revised Rule 30 tariffs that contain the following specification: minimum WI .
w
t .
Draft Appendix IV-A: Stationary Source Control Measures CM#2007CMB-04
(CM#2003MSG07)
of 1279 Btu/scf, maximum WI of 1385 Btu/scf,minimum HHV of 990 Btu/scf,maximum HHV
- of-1-15(�Btu/scf, maximum carbon dioxide content-of 2%;-and-maximum-oxygen content of —
0.1%. The PUC also directs SoCalGas to post real-time information on the WI of gas at
identified points in the pipeline system on an electronic bulletin board.
District Rule 431.1 - Sulfiu Cont_ent9f-Gaseous els,limits_the sulfur compound content of
natural gas (calculated as hydrogen.sulfide) to a maximum of 16 parts.per million by volume.
The District does not currently regulate the other properties of natural gas. The District has rules
that regulate the emissions from combustion of natural gas from various types of equipment
such as RECLAIM,Rule 1146, 1146.1, 1146.2, 1110.2, 1121 etc.
PROPOSED METHOD OF CONTROL
The control measure proposes to establish a maximum WI of 1360 Btu/scf for natural gas
supplied to, sources within the District's jurisdiction in order to maintain current gas quality.
LNG suppliers could achieve the objective of this control strategy by 1) Importing a high-
methane LNG, such as the 99+0/methane gas proposed by BHP Billiton;2) Removing the more
complex hydrocarbons by condensing processes; or 3).Adding inert gases like nitrogen.
EMISSIONS REDUCTION
Projected emission reductions are uncertain at this time, and require finther analysis. The
control •measure may only reduce future emission increases rather than provide emission
reductions.
SOCa1Gas estimated that importing 1.0 bcf/day of CNG could increase NOx emissions in
AQMD by 1.2 tons per day. There are not adequate data to support this estimate. The increase
could be higher because 1) studies underway and sponsored by the California Energy
Commission at the Gas Technology histitute may find that there are emission imports from
natural gas used by industrial burners; 2) imported LNG could.potentially replace all.of the
current low-Wl interstate gas; 3) only a small number of units were tested in each equipment
category by the SoCalGas test program; 4) the SoCa1Gas analysis assumed all industrial
equipment would be readjusted to hotter gas and ignored the effects of frequent changes in gas
quality-
RULE COMPLIANCE
Compliance with this control measure would depend on the type of controls implemented.
TEST METHODS
The appropriate testing methods are uncertain at this time and would require finther analysis.

Executive Summary
PREFACE
On behalf of the 16.5 million residents of the South Coast Basin, the 2007 AQMP must rise
to meet the following major challenges.
Stiff new Federal standards have been set in place for ozone and PM2.5.
• Slightly longer timeframe for attainment than was allowed under previous standards, but
significantly more stringent than old (withdrawn) standards.
• Fast-approaching and very difficult PM2.5 deadline (2014).
• Even more challenging 8-hour ozone deadline by 2020 timeframe.
• Recently revised 24-hour PM2.5 standard more stringent than current standards.
Significant reductions are needed from all sources, but especially Mobile Sources,
since the bulk of the remaining air quality problem stems from Mobile Source emissions.
• Need new ultra-low emission standards for both new and existing fleet, including on-road
and off-road heavy-duty trucks, industrial &service equipment, locomotives, ships & other
watercraft, and aircraft.
• Must dramatically accelerate fleet turnover to achieve benefits of cleaner engines.
• Significant reformulation of consumer products which collectively are a major source of
pollutant emissions.
• Stationary sources must continue to do their fair share of the emission reduction effort
including expedited equipment modernization and technology advancements..
Even today's improved smog conditions result in known public harm. New and additional
health studies indicate urgent public health concerns, especially from fine particulate
exposure.
• Impaired lung function in children growing up in Southern California.
• Increased episodes of respiratory disease symptoms.
• Increase in doctor visits for heart disease.
• Increase in death rates.
To have any reasonable expectation of meeting the 2014 PM2.5 deadline, the pace of .
improvement must intensify for Mobile"Sources under state and federal jurisdiction.
• At current pace, South Coast would fail to reach attainment of old standards.
• Given the huge challenge and the public health threat involved,there is no margin for error in
the overall Plan strategy, and there is no room for wavering or hesitation in the
implementation of its control measures.
• Substantial public and private funding is needed to expedite the retirement of older, higher-
polluting engines and vehicles.
• The time for all responsible authorities to expeditiously adopt and aggressively
implement effective control strategies is now.
ES _ I
Draft 2007 AQMP
INTRODUCTION
The long-term trend of the quality of air we Southern Californians breathe shows
continuous improvement, although recent leveling off in ozone improvement.causes
marked concern. The remarkable historical improvement in air quality since the 1970's
is the direct result of Southern California's comprehensive, multiyear strategy of
reducing air pollution from all sources as outlined in its Air Quality Management Plan
(AQMP). Yet the air in Southern California is far from meeting all federal and state air
quality standards and, in fact, is among the worst in the nation. Although the new federal
fine particulates (PM2.5) and 8-hour surface level ozone standards provide a longer
compliance schedule, the standards are much more stringent than the previous PM10 and
1-hour surface level ozone standards. To reach clean air goals in the next seven to
fifteen years.provided by the Clean Air Act deadlines, Southern California must not only
continue its diligence but intensify its pollution reduction efforts.
Continuing the Basin's progress toward clean air is a challenging task, not only to
recognize and understand complex interactions between emissions and resulting air
quality, but also to pursue the most effective possible set of strategies to improve air
quality while maintaining a healthy economy. To ensure continued progress toward
clean air and comply with state and federal requirements, the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (AQMD or District) in conjunction with the California Air
Resources Board (CARB),the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is preparing the Draft 2007
revision.to its AQMP (2007 AQMP or 2007 Plan). This Draft 2007 AQMP employs up-
to-date science and analytical tools and incorporates a'comprehensive strategy aimed at
controlling pollution from all sources, including stationary sources, on-road and off-road
mobile sources and area sources. While many technical tasks are still. underway to
complete the Plan revision, there is sufficient informatign to begin framing policy
discussions on clean air strategies. Hence, this Draft Plan has been prepared and is being
released for early public review and participation.
The Draft Plan proposes potential attainment demonstration of the federal PM2.5
standards through a more focused control of sulfur oxides (SOx), directly-emitted
PM2.5, and nitrogen oxides, (NOx) supplemented with volatile organic compounds
(VOC) by 2014. The 8-hour ozone control strategy builds upon the PM2.5 strategy,
augmented with additional VOC reductions to meet the standard by 2020. An extended
attainment date (i.e., additional three years) is allowed under.the Clean Air Act if a
".`bump-up" request is made by the state showing the need for such extension; this topic is
discussed further in the Policy Issues section that follows.
The Draft 2007 AQMP proposes policies and measures currently contemplated by
responsible agencies to achieve federal standards for healthful air quality in the Basin
ES - 2,.
Executive Summary
and those portions of the Salton Sea Air Basin (formerly named the Southeast Desert Air
Basin) that are under District jurisdiction (namely, Coachella Valley).
This Draft Plan also addresses several federal planning requirements and incorporates
significant new scientific data, primarily in the form of updated emissions inventories,
ambient measurements, new meteorological episodes and new air quality modeling tools.
This Draft Plan builds upon the approaches taken in the 2003 AQMP for the South Coast
Air Basin for the attainment of the federal ozone air quality standard. However, this
Draft Plan highlights the significant amount of reductions needed and the urgent need to
identify additional strategies, especially in the area of mobile sources, to meet all federal
criteria pollutant standards within the timeframes allowed under federal Clean Air Act.
This Draft Plan as well as other key supporting information are available electronically
and can be downloaded from the District's home page on the Internet
(http://www.agmd.gov, "Inside AQMD" tab at top, and click on "Clean Air Plans").
WHY IS THIS DRAFT PLAN BEING PREPARED?
The federal Clean Air Act requires an 8-hour ozone non-attainment area to prepare a SIP
revision by June 2007 and a PM2.5 non-attainment area to submit by April 2008.
However, since the attainment date for PM2.5 is earlier than that for 8-hour ozone and
because of the interplay between precursor emissions, . it is prudent to prepare a
comprehensive and integrated plan to design the most effective path to attain both
standards within the specified timeframe. In addition, U.S. EPA requires that
transportation conformity budgets be established based on the most recent planning
assumptions (i.e., within the last five years) and approved motor vehicle emission model.
The Draft Plan is based on assumptions provided by both CARB and SCAG reflecting
their upcoming computer model (EMFAC) for motor vehicle emissions and demographic
updates. Additional updates will become available in the upcoming months. .The
District, however, believes it is critical that the 'initial findings and current plan approach
be shared with the public to solicit input and to initiate public exploration regarding the
path to clean air for this region.
IS AIR QUALITY IMPROVING?
Yes. Over the years, the air quality in the Basin has improved.significantly, thanks to the
comprehensive control strategies implemented to reduce pollution from mobile and
stationary sources. For instance, the total number of days on which the Basin exceeds
the federal 8-hour standard has decreased dramatically .over the last two decades from
about 150 days to less than 90 while Basin station-days [detail follows] decreased by
approximately 80 percent. However, the Basin still exceeds the federal 8-hour standard
ES - 3
Draft 2007 AQMP —
more frequently than any other location in the U.S. Under federal law, the Basin is
designated as a "severe-17" nonattainment area for the 8-hour ozone standard. Figure
ES-1 shows the long-term trend in ambient ozone counts over the federal standard since
1990. The figure depicts two types of exceedance measurements: the number of Basin-
days and Basin-station-days above the federal 8-hour ozone standard, which represent,
respectively the number of days the standard was exceeded anywhere in the Basin or by
any station. Lack of significant progress in ozone air quality for the last several years has
raised some concern regarding the present-day effectiveness of control programs. The
District is planning to hold a technical forum in October 2006 on ozone air quality, to
examine the issue in detail including accuracy of emissions inventory, effectiveness of
control strategies, ambient photochemistry; etc. The discussion outcome may help refine
the draft control strategy approach, if necessary.
Relative to the 1-hour ozone standard, which was recently revoked by the U.S. EPA in
favor of the new 8-hour ozone standard, the air pollution controls have had an overall
positive impact. The number of days where the Basin exceeds the federal 1-hour ozone
standard has continually declined over the years. However, while the number of days
exceeding the federal 1-hour ozone standard has dropped since the 1990s;..the rate of
progress has slowed since the beginning of the decade. The Basin currently still
experiences ozone levels over the federal standard on more than 20. days per year. By
2010, this plan shows that the Basin will still exceed the federal 1-hour ozone standard
by 20 percent despite the.implementation of existing air quality programs. The District
and a number of environmental organizations have litigated against U.S. EPA's
revocation of the 1-hour standard;the case is still pending.
In 2005, the annual PM2.5 standard was exceeded at several locations throughout the
Basin. However, the 24-hour PM2.5 standard (98thpercentile greater than 65 ug/m3) was
not exceeded during the year. In 2005, the Basin did not exceed the. standards for
carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfates or lead. Figure ES-2 shows
the annual average PM2.5 concentrations in the Basin in 2005.
The Basin has met the PM10 standards at all stations except for wester Riverside where
the annual PM10 standard has not been met as of 2006. Additional efforts, through
localized programs, are under way to ensure compliance with this standard. These
efforts are also outlined in the Draft 2007 AQMP.
�.In September 2006,U.S.EPA issued revised PM2.5 NAAQs lowering the 24-hr standard to.35 uglm3. However,the
present Plan is not required to address this standard. .

The combined Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach including sources such as ocean-
going: vessels, harbor craft, trains; trucks, and cargo handling equipment represent the
largest single source of emissions in the Basin, accounting for 73% of SOx, 24% of
NOx, and 10% of PM2.5 in 2020.
WHAT IS THE OVERALL CONTROL STRATEGY TO MEET THE
CURRENT.AIR QUALITY STANDARDS?
The Draft 2007 AQMP builds upon improvements accomplished from the previous
plans, and aims to incorporate all feasible control measures while balancing costs and
socioeconomic.impacts. The few years remaining to meet attainment deadlines afford
little margin for error in.implementing such a comprehensive control strategy.. Further,
the combined control strategies selected to attain the federal PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone
standards must complement each other, representing the most effective route to achieve
and maintain the standards.
The Draft 2007 AQMP relies on.a comprehensive and integrated control approach aimed
at achieving the PM2.5 standard by 2015 through.implementation of short-term and mid-
term control measures and achieving the 8-hour ozone standard by 2021/2024 based on
implementation of additional long-term measures. Table ES-1 presents the overall
reductions necessary for demonstrating attainment of the PM2.5 standard by 2015 and
the.8=hour ozone standard by 2020. In order to demonstrate attainment by the prescribed
deadlines, emission reductions needed for attainment must be in.place by 2014 and
2020/2023 timeframe.

PM2.5 14 (14%) ----
Since PM2.5 in the Basin is overwhelmingly formed secondarily, the overall draft control
strategy focuses on reducing precursor emission of SOx, directly-emitted PM2.5, NOx,
and VOC instead of fugitive dust. Based on the District's modeling,sensitivity analysis,
Sox reductions; followed by directly-emitted PM2.5 and NOx reductions, provide the
greatest benefits in terms of reducing the ambient PM2.5 concentrations. While VOC
reductions are less critical to overall reductions in PM2.5 air quality (compared with
equivalent SOx, directly-emitted PM2.5, and NOx reductions); they are heavily relied
upon for meeting the 8-hour ozone standard. It is further determined that SOx is the only
pollutant that is projected to grow in the future, due to ship emissions.at the ports;
requiring significant controls. Directly-emitted PM2.5 emission reductions from on-
going diesel toxic reduction programs and from the short-term and mid-term control
measures are also incorporated into the Draft 2007 AQMP. NOx reductions primanTy
based on mobile.source control strategies (e.g., add-on control devices,alternative fuels,
fleet modernization; repowers, retrofits) are also relied upon for Attainment; Adequate
VOC controls need to.be in place in time for achieving significant VOW reductions
needed for the 8-hour ozone standard by 2021/2024. Reducing VOC emissions in early
years would also ensure continued progress in reducing the ambient ozone
concentrations. The 8-hour ozone control strategy relies on the implementation of the
PM2.5 control strategy,augmented with additional long-term VOC and NOx reductions
for.meeting`the standard by 2020/2023 timeframe. With respect to PM 10,.since the Basin
will not attain the annual standard by 2006 for one station,additional local programs are
proposed to address the attainment issue in an expeditious manner.`
The Draft 2007 AQMP control measures consist of three components:° 1) the District's
Stationary and Mobile Source Control Measures; 2) State and Federal Control.Measures
recommended by CARB and/or District staff; and 3) Regional Transportation Strategy
ES - 8
Executive Summary
and Control Measures provided by SCAG. These measures are outlined in Appendices
W-A, W-B, and IV-C, respectively.
The District's control strategy for stationary and mobile sources is based on the
following approaches: 1) facility modernization; 2) energy efficiency and conservation;
3) good management practices; 4) market incentives/compliance flexibility; 5) .area
source programs; 6) emission growth management; and 7) mobile source programs.
The Draft AQMP also includes District staff's recommended State and federal stationary
and mobile source control measures since the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
has only developed an overview of a possible control strategy for PM2.5 (see Chapter 4).
The measures, prepared by District staff and recommended for CARB's consideration for
inclusion into the final AQMP, include strategies such as Smog Check Program
enhancements, extensive fleet modernization of on-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles and
off-road diesel equipment, accelerated penetration of advanced technology vehicles, low-
sulfur fuel for marine engines, accelerated turn-over of high-emitting off-road engines,
and gasoline and diesel fuel reformulations.
Finally, the emission benefits associated with the 2004 Regional Transportation Plan and
the 2006 Regional Transportation Improvement Program are also reflected in the Draft
2007 AQMP.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN CHALLENGES OF ATTAINMENT?
Attainment of the new federal PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone standards poses yet another
tremendous challenge for the South Coast Air Basin. The latest emissions inventory and
air quality modeling analysis employed in the Draft 2007 AQMP indicate that significant
reductions above and beyond those already achieved are still needed for meeting these
standards. In order to determine,the optimal path to clean air and the overall design of
the final Plan, the following . issues are presented for soliciting input from all
stakeholders, technical experts,and the general public.
• Uncertainties in Mobile Source Emissions Inventory,
Although the emissions inventory and projections in the.Draft 2007 AQMP represent the
latest available methodologies, .emission factors, and growth projections, there are
uncertainties in the mobile source emissions inventory which need to be addressed in the
final AQMP or, if necessary,,immediately following the AQMP adoption. The mobile
source inventory for this Draft AQMP represents an increase over the previous AQMP
primarily because of ethanol permeation, heavy-duty vehicle in-use emissions, increased
evaporative emissions for pleasure craft, and other adjustments. Furthermore, there are
some concerns over the projected emissions in the off-road model becauseofthe
ES 9
Draft 2007AQMP
equipment life and turn-over rate assumptions which may result in under-estimation of
future emissions. While the technical work to improve the inventory is on-going, the
past plan revisions have shown continuous upward adjustment of the mobile source.
inventory. The control strategy for attainment demonstration should provide a certain
level of safety margin to address this potential underestimation of emissions with only
seven years remaining for PM2.5 attainment.
• Adequacy of Reductions for PM2.5 Attainment
Attainment of the federal health-based PM2.5 standard would demand significant
emission reductions in PM2.5 components within the next seven years. Based.on the
District's air quality modeling analysis, these reductions are on the order of 239 tons per
day of NOx, 49 tons per day of SOx, 14 tons per day of PM2.5, and 142 tons per day of
VOC emissions. Although the District will continue to refine its modeling analysis over
the next few months for inclusion into the Final Plan, this range of reductions identifies
the overall path to clean air and policy direction in designing the attainment strategy.
In 2014, emission sources under the District's jurisdiction will account for 11% of NOx
and 24% of VOC and SOx emissions in the Basin. Although these stationary sources are
currently subject to some of the most rigorous regulations known,. in view of the
magnitude of reductions for PM2.5 attainment, the District is proposing thirty short-term
and mid-term control measures in the Draft AQMP. The estimated reductions from
measures that have been quantified are 7.7 t/d of NOx, 3 ttd of SOx, 7.2 t/d of VOC, and
1.4 t/d of PM2.5 by 2014. Since emission reductions for many of the measures are to be
better quantified at a later date, the total reductions will likely be higher.
However, in order to meet the federal PM2.5 standard by 2014, significant additional
reductions are required from sources understate and federal.jurisdictions. CARB has the
overall responsibility of developing the State Element.of the SIP outlining the state's
specific short-term and long-term strategies for reducing emissions from mobile sources
and consumer products. Traditionally, the District has incorporated CARB's proposed
strategies in the Draft AQMP in developing the,overall attainment strategy. However, for
this Draft AQMP, CARB has not yet developed its Draft State Element and has only
released its proposed concepts for reducing emissions from major mobile source
categories and consumer products (Table 4-5).
Since CARB's proposed concepts appear to fall significantly short of the required
reductions for PM2.5 attainment, the District staff is recommending a number of specific
control measures with defined strategies and necessary reductions for mobile sources and
consumer products for CARB's consideration (Table 4-6). Although GARB plansto
release its Draft State Element in January 2007, the District staff believes that greater
opportunity for public debate and review of the potentially alternative strategies for
inclusion into the Final Plan is warranted. It is envisioned that the proposed measures in
ES - t0
Executive Summary
this Draft Plan will undergo further agency and public review and reflect any adjustments
to emissions inventory and modeling before inclusion into the Final Plan.
• _ 8-Hour Ozone Non-Attainment Classification —Bump-Up Request
The South Coast Air Basin is classified as a "severe-17" non-attainment area for the
federal 8-hour ozone standard with an attainment date of 2021. Such classification
precludes the Basin from relying on undefined reductions (i.e., "black box") which are
based on the anticipated development of new control technologies or improvement of
existing technologies (Section 182(e)(5) of the federal Clean Air Act) for attainment
demonstration. However, the federal regulation allows regions such as the Basin to
request :for a bump-up to an "extreme" classification in order to be able to rely on
182(e)(5) measures for attainment. The District is considering exercising this option for
the Draft 2007 AQMP.because of the significant level of additional reductions required
for attainment which are not likely to be achieved from existing technologies.
Although the "extreme" classification for the Basin would allow the use of long-term
measures and possibly extend the attainment date by three years to 2024, there are
concerns associated with the resulting increased stringency of requirements for stationary
sources (i.e., higher offset ratio, lower major source definition for Title V facilities)
under an "extreme" classification. Unless adequate defined control measures are
identified for meeting the ozone reduction target by 2021, the District will have no
choice but to request for this re-classification. During the public review process, the
District will solicit additional.control ideas to determine if existing technologies can be
more aggressively implemented such that 182(e)(5) measures are not needed for the 8-
hour attainment demonstration.
Fair Share Agency Responsibility
In order to achieve necessary reductions for meeting air quality standards, all four
agencies (i.e., AQMD, CARB, U.S. EPA, and 'SCAG) would have to aggressively .
develop and implement control strategies through their respective plans, regulations, and
alternative approaches for pollution sources within their primary jurisdiction. Even
though SCAG does not have .direct authority over mobile source emissions, it will
I
commit to the emission reductions associated with implementation of the 2004 Regional
Transportation Plan and 2006 Regional Transportation Improvement Program which are
imbedded in the emission projections. Similarly, the Ports of Los Angeles and Long
Beach have authority they must utilize to assist in the implementation of various
strategies if the region is to attain clean air by federal deadlines.
The following figures represent the projected emission contributions by agency primary
authority for major pollutants in 2014 and 2020.

Executive Summary
Although the District has. completely met its obligations under the 2003 AQMP and
stationary sources subject to the District's jurisdiction account for only 11% of NOx and
24% of SOx emissions in the Basin in 2014, the Draft 2007 AQMP contains several
short-term and mid-term control measures aimed at achieving further NOx and SOx
reductions (as well as VOC and PM2.5 reductions) from these already regulated sources.
These strategies are based on facility modernization, energy conservation measures and
more stringent requirements for existing equipment (e.g., space heaters, ovens, dryers,
furnaces. In addition to short-term and mid-term control measures, the District is also
committing to long-term VOC reductions of 32 t/d by 2020 for the. 8-hour ozone
attainment.
Clean air for this region requires CARB to aggressively pursue reductions and strategies
for on-road and off-road mobile sources and .consumer products. In addition,
considering the significant contribution of federal sources such as marine vessels,
locomotives, and aircraft in the Basin (i.e., 72% of SOx and 34% of NOx), it is
imperative that the U.S. EPA. pursue and develop regulations for new and existing
federal sources to ensure that these sources contribute their fair share of reductions
toward attainment of the federal standards.. Unfortunately, regulation of these emission
sources has not kept pace with other source categories and as a result, these sources are
projected to represent a significant and growing portion of emissions in the Basin.
Without a collaborative and serious effort among all .agencies, attainment of the federal
standards would-be seriously jeopardized.
•.
Funding Availabili
The. overall costs of implementing the control measures proposed in the Draft 2007
AQP are expected to be in the billions of dollars. In-use mobile source fleet
modernizations, accelerated retirement of high-emitting vehicles and equipment,
alternative fuels and their infrastructure, advanced retrofits, facility modernization, and
product reformulations and replacements are among strategies which require significant
Ievels of funding. For illustration purposes, the estimated costs associated with the
recently released San Pedro Bay Port's Draft Clean Air Action Plan and CARB's Goods
Movement Plan targeting ports and goods movement sectors alone are approximately $2
billion dollars and $10 billion dollars, respectively. The costs of implementing the
AQMP control measures affecting virtually all source categories in the Basin will add to
these estimates. However, the economic values of avoiding adverse health effects are
projected to be many times higher than the implementation cost of clean air strategies.
In order to meet the federal PM2.5 and 8-hour ozone ambient air quality standards, a
significant amount of public and private funding will be required to implement some
measures. A close collaboration among all stakeholders, government agencies,
businesses, and residents would be critical to identify .and secure adequate funding
sources for implementing the AQMP control measures.
ES - 13
i
Draft 2007AQMP
In addition to public funding for mobile sources, financial assistance to stationary
sources should be explored in light of the need to further reduce emissions from local
businesses. The draft plan discussed the desire to seek tax incentives for early
deployment of clean air technologies as part of plant modernization or to establish "Carl
Moyer" type programs for stationary sources for pollution prevention, such as process
changes to apply near-zero pollution technologies.

The following is a document that the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) recently released. Southern California Gas Company (The Gas
Company) has provided additional information for your consideration to correct
their misstatements.
The Gas Company wishes to find a less costly way to address the
potential air quality impacts from increased supplies of higher Btu
gas. We urge the SCA QMD staff to delay their proposed natural gas
measures and to instead work with us. The least costly way to
address any potential emission increases, by the less than 1 percent
of equipment that might be impacted, should be based on the
decades of experience we and our customers have consuming higher
Btu gas. The Gas Company is committed to work with the SCAQMD
and other stakeholders to address any residual emission increases.
Southern California Must Preserve
its Supply of Clean Natural Gas to Prevent Increased Air
Pollution
FACT SHEET .
• For decades, Southern California has relied on clean natural gas to minimize air
pollution from its homes, businesses and industries. The current supply meets
AQMD's requirements.
• Due to a projected growth in natural gas demand and to replace existing gas
supply, gas providers plan to import huge quantities of liquefied natural gas
(LNG) from overseas. Shipped by tanker vessels to import terminals along the
West Coast of the United States and Baja Mexico, the fuel is re-gasified at the
terminals and then piped to consumers in Southern California. Sempra Energy's
Energia Costa Azul LNG import terminal in Baja, in conjunction with Sempra's
subsidiary Southern California Gas Co., will begin such imports as early as next
year.
• LNG from overseas is known to contain impurities that cause it to bum hotter and
dirtier, resulting in increased air pollution.
z> The Gas Company's customers in the northern portion of our service
territory have been using higher Btu gas (i.e. a gas with a higher Wobbe
numoeq for aecaaes. i nese supplies nave the same or smtuar
characteristics as imported LNG. These customers have used this gas
without compliance problems, performance problems or other concerns
associated with the hiaher Btu content of the aas.
{
• Southern California Gas Co. estimates that 1 billion cubic feet of imported gas
will result in an additional 1.2 tons per day of smog-forming nitrogen oxide
emissions—equivalent to that from 120,000 cars. The AQMD believes the actual
air pollution impact will be much higher.
The SCAQMD is misrepresenting the results of a study. The study
answered the hypothetical question of what emission increases would
occur if none of the equipment in the SCAQMD were adjusted, i.e. a worst
case. Customers that have used higher Btu gas have adjusted their
equipment to allow combustion of the higher Btu gas with minor or no
emissions increases. Subsequent research by an environmental
consulting firm has shown that less than one percent of the gas burning
equipment in the SCAQMD has any potential for increased emissions if
they burn higher Btu gas and that the incremental NOx emissions
associated with a Wobbe chanae from 1385 to 1360 is 0-0.3 tons Der day.
The Gas Company is proposing that the SCAQMD staff be directed to work
with us to come up with a more cost-effective solution. We believe the
proven past practice of adjusting equipment, rather than adopting
unnecessarily restrictive gas requirements, will more appropriately address
potential emissions increases that may arise from use of regasif<ed LNG or
other natural gas that does not meet the District's proposed specification.
• Increased air pollution will add to the already serious health burden in Southern
California, the most polluted region in the country. Increased health effects mean
higher health costs for residents.
• The use of dirty natural gas imported from overseas may cause some business
to violate air pollution permit conditions, raising their compliance costs.
Customers in the northern part of our service territory who have used
this hiaher Btu aas for decades have had no comnliance Droblems
associated with the use of higher Btu gas.
• Imported natural gas can be treated to prevent excess emissions, adding less
than 1 percent to the cost of the gas.
i
SCAQMD continues to ignore the fact that the rule they are proposing
will apply to both domestic and imported supplies. Gas currently delivered
to The Gas Company from sources both outside and within the SCAQMD
currently exceeds the District's proposed 1360 Wobbe limit. Under the
ifistrict's proposed rule, this gas would have to be either rejected or new
treatment plants would have to be built. Rejecting the gas would affect the
region's gas supply, cost Southern California customers approximately
$215 million to $450 million per year or more, and could jeopardize service
to customers. New treatment plants would take at least four years to
construct, would generate substantial additional emissions, and would
cost well over$1 billion.

Southern California Must Preserve
its Supply of Clean Natural Gas to Prevent Increased Air
Pollution
MYTHS & REALITIES
Myth: AQMD's efforts to preserve the quality of natural gas will result in a curtailment or
prohibition of the use of domestic natural gas currently supplied from the Rocky
Mountain Basin and parts of California.
SCAQMD Reality: AQMD's proposed control measure will not prohibit or curtail use of
natural gas from domestic sources. This gas meets AQMD's criteria and its continued
use will not worsen air quality. AQMD is focused on preventing the importation and use,
without treatment, of dirty gas from overseas.
The Truth: The relevant information is available on The Gas Company's web site
and is updated hourly. As this document is being written, two receipt points have
a Wobbe greater than the proposed 1360, and three are at 1359, which historically
have been trending upward.
Myth: AQMD's plan will add hundreds of millions of dollars to the regional cost of
natural gas.
SCAQMD Reality: Overseas imported natural gas is significantly cheaper than
domestic gas. Even with an added 1 percent cost to clean dirty imported gas, Souther
California consumers should see reduced gas costs overall as a result of importing
lower-cost gas from overseas.
The Truth: SCAQMD continues to ignore the fact that the rule they are proposing
will applV to both domestic and imported supplies. In order to complV with their
proposed rule, all gas above 1360 would either have to be (1) rejected, or(2)
treated to lower the Wobbe to below 1360. The first scenario would result in the
need to replace the gas rejected, at a premium of more than $215 million per year.
in the future this cost could rise to $450 million per year due to the loss of
increased new supplies, such as LNG, that will not be able to meet the SCAQMD's
proposed maximum 1360 Wobbe. The second scenario would require
construction of up to 25 treatment plants throughout the SCAQMD, resulting in
additional emissions at a cost of well over$1 billion dollars.
Myth: AQMD's proposal would require 25 treatment facilities costing over $2 billion.
SCAQMD Reality: Although eight new natural gas-import terminals have been
proposed, only two or three will probably be built to serve Southern California. One
proposed terminal plans to bring in gas that meets AQMD's proposal. Two others plan
to install treatment facilities that would enable them to comply with AQMD's proposal.
The Truth: We are currently receiving gas which exceeds the 1360 Wobbe from
several delivery points both outside and within the SCAQMD. As discussed, the
District's proposed rule would require rejection or treatment of all of this gas.
Treating the gas would require construction of up to 25 treatment plants
throughout the SCAQMD, resulting in additional emissions of at a cost of well
over$1 billion dollars.
Myth: AQMD's proposal is unprecedented.
SCAQMD Reality: Natural gas is already being treated at the Dominion Cove Point
LNG terminal near Baltimore, an area with much less severe air pollution than Southern
California.
The Truth: The SCAQMD proposed rule would not distinguish between imported
and domestic suoAlies. We would have to either refect current sunolies of natural
gas that are above 1360, or the gas would have to be treated at considerable cost.
The Gas Company wishes to find a less costly way to address the
potential air quality impacts from increased supplies of higher Btu
gas. We urge the SCAQMD staff to delay their proposed gas
measures and to instead work with us. The least costly way to
address potential emission increases, by the less than 1 percent of
equipment that might be impacted, should be based on the decades
of experience we and our customers have consuming higher Btu gas.
The Gas Company is committed to work with the SCAQMD and other
stakeholders to address any residual emission increases.

Economic Development Director Coleman addressed the Hearing stating that this is a B. Coleman
recommendation by Cultural and Historic Preservation Commission to add the Old School Comments
House building to the City's list of Potential Historic Landmarks as well as the Survey List of
Historic Properties; the property is located at the southeast corner of the Slauson Middle <
School campus, 403 N. Angeleno Avenue. He provided a brief background stating that In
1983-2004 the General Plan included a list of historic properties which listed the "Old
School House" to be preserved; it was identified as the oldest school house. In 2000 the
commission drafted a new list of historic properties and historic landmarks and the Old
School House was inadvertently omitted from the lists. In November of 2005 it was
brought to the attention of the Commission that the Azusa Unified School District was
considering to demolish it. In 2006, the Commission asked that the City investigate the
feasibility of moving the building in order to preserve it and the AUSD opposes it. Staff has
received a letter Indicating that the District does not consent to the proposed designation of
as a potential historic landmark and requested that the Commission not consider the
designation. The Commission has met since then and is requesting to add it to the Survey
List as well as the potential List of Historic Landmarks. He talked about the process for
adding properties to Survey and Potential Historic Landmark lists and recommended that the
subject property be added to the approved Survey List, not to the Historic Landmark list as
the School District objects to it.
City Clerk Mendoza read a letter into the record from Mr. and Mrs. Madrigal and from Letters read
Bradley Frick, Assistant Superintendent, and Business Services of the Azusa Unified School Into record
District, who expressed their opposition to the "Old School House" being added to the
Potential Historic Landmark Ust.
Mr. Art Morales addressed the hearing volcing his opinion in favor of saving the old school A.Morales
house. He suggested it be used as a homework house and that the Azusa Unified School Comments
District donate the corner to the City.
Mr. Jorge Rosales addressed the hearing stating that he has had discussions with Board J. Rosales
Members and Is in favor of trying to get the AUSD to donate the structure to the City; to Comments
relocate the site and or demolish it would be too expensive.
Moved by Councilmember Hardison, seconded by Councllmember Hanks and unanimously Hrg Closed
carried to close the Public Hearing.
Discussion was held between Councilmembers and staff regardingthe wishes of the Azusa Discussion
Unified School District, the difference between being on the Survey List of Historic Properties
and the list of Potential Historic Landmarks and the process for placing properties onto the
lists. It was noted that being on the Survey List could trigger CEQA and become a full blown
EIR as a next step. Discussion was held.

CONTINUED REVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION BY THE AZUSA CITIZENS' COMMITTEE FOR ACCFCC
CODE COMPLIANCE. - Recommend
Councilmembers Hanks, Rocha, Hardison, and Carrillo advised that are not prepared to Comments and
discuss the issue as comments were submitted both in writing and verbal to the City Discussion
Attorney and a response to them is not finalized as of this date. It was agreed that Ms.
Melanson does not have to show proof of verbal approval of RV parking on her property of
years ago. Mayor Chagnon addressed the document submitted by the ACCFCC at the last
meeting regarding No. 3 Permits and Monitoring Requirements for Temporary Signs, stating
there Is a need to develop a process for obtaining a temporary sign permit. Item 3-E, I and
2, stating that is very cumbersome and difficult to Implement; she questioned the definition
of item 5-F regarding Temporary window signs; City Manager Delach responded. She noted
the 14 days for visiting RV, is too long of a period. Assistant City Manager Person
responded stating that staff recommendation is strongly against this rule and it is not
workable, but complex City Manager responded to question regarding Veteran Banners
stating that they are City sponsored signs and would not be applicable to the commercial
temporary sign in.the subject section..Assistant Community Development Director Onaga
responded to a question regarding seasonal painted signs stating that they are exempt,_and
wouldn't need a sign or temporary permit and could go beyond the 20%. It was consensus
of Councilmembers that the City Attorney and staff come back with matrix of Council
comments for further direction regarding codification in the Azusa Municipal Code and
Development Code.

FROM: BRUCE COLEMAN, ECONOMIC/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: F. M. DELACH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORAW W
DATE: MARCH 5, 2007 6��
SUBJECT: TENANT SETTLEMENT FOR JOYERIA CRISALTY, A BUSINESS LOCATED ON THE
AGENCY ACQUIRED PARCEL AT 120 WEST 9T" STREET
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Agency Board authorize the Executive Director to execute a
settlement agreement with Joyeria Crisalty, an existing business which is located within the King
Ranch Market, in the amount of $27,500.
BACKGROUND
In order to continue efforts to redevelop and revitalize the Central Business District area, in
2003, the Agency adopted the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan for the Merged
Central Business District and West End Redevelopment Projects. One vehicle for
redevelopment is the assemblage of improved, odd-shaped parcels into a single, larger
"squared-off' parcel. Such assemblage can have the economic benefit of (a) eliminating any
functional inefficiency or obsolescence caused by the "odd-shaped" nature of a parcel, and (b)
creating a larger parcel that can accommodate certain projects (i.e. community shopping
centers or mixed use developments) that smaller parcels would be unable to accommodate due
to their size. To that end, the Agency acquired the real property located at 110-190 West 9`"
Street.
The Agency entered into escrow for the purchase of the properties located at 1 10-190 West 9`"
Street and 809 North Azusa Avenue in November of 2006. Prior to that time and subsequent
to the opening of escrow, the Agency has been working with the existing businesses to discuss
the redevelopment goals of the Agency and the protections afforded to each business under
California Redevelopment Law. On January 16, 2007, the Agency Board approved Settlement
Agreements with the following tenants: Lucky Choice Restaurant, Lozano Laundromat, P&A
Beauty Salon, Alondra's Bakery, Central Video 93, Community Garage, and Foothill Drug
Company. On February 20, 2007, the Agency Board approved a Settlement Agreement with
The Honorable Chairman and Members of the Agency Board

Pacific &Cutler), Fixtures and Equipment (Hjelmstrom &Associates). Based upon the values

.agreement with Joyeria Crisalty.
The following represents the financial terms of the settlement agreement, subject to Agency
Board approval:

AGENCY AGENDA ITEM
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY BOARD
FROM: BRUCE COLEMAN, ECONOMIC/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
VIA: F. M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 5, 2007 ��` IIh�,
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION OF APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAN
FORMULATED FOR THE 2007 AMENDMENT TO THE MERGED CENTRAL
BUSINESS DISTRICT AND WEST END REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Agency's Board of Directors adopt the Resolution approving the
Preliminary Plan and authorizing the transmittal of the Preliminary Plan pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 33327 of the California Community Redevelopment Law ("Law").
BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa ("Agency") is charged with the responsibility
for promoting the continued revitalization of the Merged Central Business District and West End
Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"). Since the inception of the Project Area, the
Agency implemented redevelopment activities to encourage reinvestment within the Project
Area; however, despite the best efforts of the Agency, blighting conditions remain in the Project
Area.
The Agency initiated.redevelopment plan amendment actions ("2007 Amendment") by adopting
Resolution No. 06-67 establishing a survey area for the study of areas to be added to the
Project Area ("Added Area"). The survey area resolution directed the Planning Commission of
the City of Azusa ("Planning Commission") to prepare the Preliminary Plan for the 2007
Amendment and consider increasing the tax increment limit for the Project Area. The Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 2007-04 on February 28, 2007 approving the Preliminary
Plan and transmitting the Preliminary Plan to the Agency for its consideration.
The tax increment cap is the total amount of tax increment dollars the Agency may receive
during the term of the Redevelopment Plan. Documentation to demonstrate the need for a tax
increment cap increase will include economic and financial analyses, a feasibility study and tax

Subject Resolution approving the Preliminary Plan for the 2007 Amendment '

increment projections, the preparation of base maps for the recordation of blight, and an
analysis of urbanization. This analysis will come before the Agency Board at a later time.
The current maximum net tax increment the Agency can collect is $114.9 million, which was
authorized in 2003. At present, with zero growth in values within the Project Area, the
maximum tax increment cap will be exceeded in FY 2026/2027. This projection does not
account for the normal growth in values within the Project Area, for additional projects in
development such as Block 36, Foothill Center and Downtown North. This additional growth
will only serve to increase the rate at which the tax increment cap will be met. If the cap is not
increased, the Agency will not realize any tax increment for the remainder of the life of the plan,
which ends in calendar year 2036. At present, the projected loss in available funding to the
Agency is $44 million dollars.
This project also includes preparation and review of the plan amendment, ordinances,
resolutions and notices for legal sufficiency. The budget for this project is estimated at
$135,000. Staff will bring a recommendation to the Agency to award a contract for this work by
separate action.
The Preliminary Plan is a brief document that establishes precise boundaries of the Added Area
and serves as the basic framework for preparation of the 2007 Amendment. The Added Area
consists of approximately 15.3 acres of land with the following zoning Downtown transit Village,
Downtown Civic Center, Corridor South Azusa Avenue and Neighborhood General 3.
Pursuant to the Law, the Preliminary Plan includes:
(1) a description of the proposed boundaries;
.(2) a description of the layout of principal streets;
(3) a general statement of the land uses, population densities, building intensities, and
standards proposed for the redevelopment of the Added Area;
(4) a statement that the proposed Redevelopment Plan would conform to the City's
General Plan;
(5) a statement as to how the project will attain the purposes of the Law; and
(6) a general description of the impact of the project upon area residents and the
surrounding community.
Upon approval of the Preliminary Plan, the Agency must authorize staff to make the appropriate
transmittals to taxing entities and other parties pursuant to Section 33327 of the Law.
FISCAL IMPACT
This recommended action has no fiscal impact. However, by proceeding with the process of
amending the tax increment cap, the Agency may realize in excess of $44 million dollars in tax
increment revenues it would not otherwise receive due to the current tax increment cap.

111. GENERAL STATEMENT OF PROPOSED PLANNING
ELEMENTS
As a basis for the redevelopment of the Added Area, the permitted uses will be in
conformance with the City of Azusa General Plan ("General Plan"), as it exists
now, and as it may be amended hereafter. The redevelopment plan for those
properties included in the Added Area will also conform to any applicable state,
county, and local codes and guidelines.
A. Land Uses
Within the Added Area, land uses shall be those permitted by the General
Plan. Among the permitted uses are:
• Light Manufacturing
• City Offices/Library/Governmental
• Residential
• Vacant
• Multi-Tenant Building
• Commercial Services
• Automobile Services
B. General Statement of Proposed Layout of Principal Streets
The principal streets within or adjacent to the Project Area are shown on
Exhibit A. In general, these include:
East-West Streets: gth Street, Foothill Boulevard and Paramount Avenue
North-South Streets: Azusa Avenue, Dalton Avenue and Pasadena
Avenue
See the attached Preliminary Plan Maps, Exhibits A & B, for the specific
boundaries and street layout. The layout of principal streets and those

modified and additional streets may be created as necessary for proper
pedestrian and/or vehicular circulation.

Preliminary Plan
Central Business District and West End Merged Project—Azusa Redevelopment Agency
C. General Statement of Proposed Population Densities
Permitted densities within the Added Area shall conform to the General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and as currently adopted or as hereafter
amended, and other applicable codes and ordinances. This Plan and the
Added Area do not propose any changes to population densities,
development densities or land use designations.
D. General Statement of Proposed Building Intensities
The General Plan sets forth the maximum permitted development
intensities for the different land use categories. The limits on building
intensity shall be established in accordance with the provisions of the
General Plan as they now exist or are hereafter amended. This Plan and
the Added Area do not propose any changes to population densities, land
use designations, or building intensities.
E. General Statement of Proposed Building Standards
Building standards shall conform to the requirements of applicable building
nodes and ordinances within the Added Area.
IV. ATTAINMENT OF THE PURPOSES OF THE LAW
i
Selection of the Added Area boundaries was guided by the existence of blight, as
defined by the Law. Redevelopment of the Added Area would attain the purposes
of the Law by alleviating blighting conditions that the private sector and/or other
agencies of government, acting alone, cannot remedy. Among the blighting
conditions existing in the Added Area are the following:
• Defective design;
• Inadequate utilities;
• Substandard design;
• Incompatible adjacent uses;
• Low lease rates; and
• Impaired investments.
r
The purposes of the Law would be attained through, among other things: (1) the
elimination of blighting influences such as, incompatible land uses, aged building
types, and inadequate public improvements; (2) the assemblage of land into
parcels suitable for modern integrated development with improved pedestrian
i
{ TIERRA WEST ADVISORS,LLC. 4
(I
Preliminary Plan
Central Business District and West End Merged Project—Azusa Redevelopment Agency
and vehicular circulation; (3) the replanning, redesign and development of
underdeveloped areas, which are stagnant or improperly utilized; and (4) the
participation of owners and tenants in the revitalization of their properties.
Redevelopment of the Added Area would also attain the purposes of the Law by
stimulating construction activity and increasing employment opportunities.
V. CONFORMANCE TO THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY
This Plan conforms to the General Plan. It proposes land uses compatible with
permitted uses under the General Plan, but will encourage more retail services
and commercial uses. All roadways and public facilities would conform to the
General Plan.
VI. GENERAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT UPON THE
RESIDENTS OF THE PROJECT AREA AND SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOODS
The impact of the Proposed Plan upon existing residential uses surrounding the
Added Area will generally be in the areas of improved living environment and
economic activity. It is the desire of the City to focus on improving commercial
properties. The Added Area does will not include the power of eminent domain
on residential uses. If, during the course of Agency activities, a displacement
were to occur, pursuant to the Law, the Agency will be responsible for relocation
and all other forms of assistance required by the Law.
It is anticipated that the redevelopment activities accomplished in the Added Area
will be positive. It is intended to address and rectify only adverse conditions
within the Added Area. Further, the environmental review process will identify
any adverse environmental impacts with mitigation measures identified to
address specific impacts. All of these aspects would be addressed in the next
step of the redevelopment plan adoption process leading to a final
Redevelopment Plan.
The final Redevelopment Plan implementation recommendations will be subject
to future review and approval by the City Council, Agency, Planning Commission,
and other appropriate bodies after input from affected property owners, business
owners, residents, and other interested parties are received through a public
hearing process.

CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CATHY A. HANSON, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES
VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER/ VO
DATE: MARCH 19, 2007 `L
SUBJECT: ICMA Retirement Corporation 457 Deferred Compensation Plan
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. establishing
a 457 deferred compensation plan through ICMA Retirement Corporation (ICMARC).
BACKGROUND
The City has historically offered three choices for 457 deferred compensation plans.
These include programs through CaIPERS, Nationwide and Lincoln Financial Advisors.
However, as the City has continued to hire people from other agencies, especially at
the executive level, it has become apparent that the City needs to add ICMARC's 457
Deferred Compensation Plan to its choices.
Recently, several employees hired from other agencies have expressed their
disappointment that the City did not offer ICMARC's plan and expressed concern with
the fact they would now have to start participation in another plan.
After investigation and review of ICMARC's plan, staff is recommending Council
approve the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City to administer this program. All costs will be borne by
employees through 1CMARC deductions from their investment ccounts.
