Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Christina Taylor, Deputy City Manager
DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance Temporarily Suspending Off -Street
Parking Requirements for Existing Non-residential Structures in the
Downtown District a as identified in the Downtown Districts Map
Description A request by the Planning and Economic Development Departments to
establish an ordinance temporarily suspending off-street parking requirements for
existing, non-residential structures in the Downtown District as defined by the
Downtown District’s map boundaries. The proposed ordinance would be in effect for a
period not to exceed eighteen (18) months.
Background and Analysis:
Over the past several years, staff has been making incremental progress on assessing
the needs of downtown businesses. In 2018, the City adopted an Economic
Development Strategic Plan. In 2020, the City received a grant for a Parking
Management Master Plan. In 2021, the General Plan Update was adopted. In 2022, at
the direction of City Council, the City’s Economic Development Department began the
process of developing the Downtown Beaumont Revitalization Plan (DBRP) and in
2023, City Council engaged in developing a Strategic Plan. Each of these have
contributed to the evaluation of and adjustments to how City staff approaches various
processes and programs.
One of the main programs staff is currently running through the Economic Development
Department are the Downtown Incentives. These provide an array of financial and staff
assistance to current and future businesses. As staff conducts site visits and reviews
proposals, various issues have been identified as barriers to opening a business.
Programs are currently in place to assist with many of these issues such as pre-
inspections and pre-application fee waivers, grease interceptor cost sharing and façade
improvements. In addition to these, a program for helping with fire sprinkler installation
and/or retrofit is being proposed this evening as part of tonight’s agenda.
Page 99 of 339
With programs in place to address the bulk of the structural issues, on -site parking
requirements remain a barrier to many businesses. A majority of the lots and buildings
in the Downtown District (Attachment B) were created and constructed decades ago.
Current parking standards were adopted in 2007 and are applied City wide. These
standards do not take into consideration the site constraints of downtown properties and
are not conducive to facilitating revitalization in downtown.
The City Council has adopted a number of documents which contain goals or action
items to implement throughout the City. The following are a few goals or actions related
to Downtown:
Economic Development Strategic Plan (2018)
ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT
D. Incorporate real estate development / revitalization programs into entrepreneurial
development programs, as appropriate to the extent that entrepreneurs’ space -using
options are currently constrained.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND REVITALIZATION/REDEVELOPMENT
A. Continually monitor coordination efforts between the General Plan and other
research work and economic development objectives and actions. For
example:
• Explicitly relate planned commercial/industrial areas to industry targets
and the City’s overall economic development approach.
• Show how areas designated for revitalization relate to economic
development targets and programs.
• Show how the repurposing of certain structures/areas can support
startup companies.
The intent of this ongoing monitoring effort would be to ensure that the City’s various
development-related policies remain in sync and, when appropriate, to make future
policy adjustments to maximize the alignment of these closely related programs.
C. Create and market incentives for redevelopment / revitalization of older
properties (potentially including non-financial incentives such as expedited entitlements
and permit processing)
E. As appropriate, contact the owners of commercial properties that might benefit
from revitalization efforts to assess interest and potential partnerships or other forms of
public support to achieve revitalization / redevelopment goals.
PLACEMAKING
B. Identify and promote actions to encourage the placemaking potential of the
Downtown area within the framework of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Page 100 of 339
General Plan (2021)
Goal 5.1: A dynamic local economy that attracts diverse business and investment.
5.1.5 Maintain a regulatory environment that is business friendly, easy to navigate,
flexible and encourages growth consistent with the General Plan.
5.1.7 Support a variety of revitalization and improvement programs focused on
placemaking and beautification, such as façade improvements, public gathering places,
public art, and community events. (Also see Land Use and Community Design
Element).
Goal 5.4: A community that supports the growth and prosperity of local businesses.
5.4.3 Encourage investment and focus revitalization efforts in Downtown and along
Beaumont Avenue and Second Street corridors to have the most positive impact on
existing businesses and to capitalize on the potential of a walkable mixed -use
commercial center in the community.
Goal 5.5: A community with vibrant shopping areas.
5.5.7 Create development regulations that facilitate adaptive reuse of older buildings.
Parking Management Master Plan (2021)
Short-Term Recommendations (1-2 years)
3) Lower parking requirements for the downtown area
The Parking Management Master Plan identified a parking surplus of 828 spaces on -
street and off-street, in the Downtown Core Subarea which aligns with the Downtown
District shown in Attachment B.
City Council Strategic Plan (2023)
Priority Level 3 Goals:
Develop a pedestrian style downtown with shopping, restaurants, and parking
(Target #3, Goal #2)
Recruit and attract businesses, including an anchor tenant, downtown hotel, and
medical providers (Target #3, Goal #4)
Revisit the City’s Municipal Codes and Zoning (Target #3, Goal #6)
Through the revitalization efforts and incentive program applications, staff has
encountered instances where a property has no parking or very minimal parking on -site.
This means in many cases a business cannot occupy a property or cannot expand their
existing business to add space, due to the parking requirements. This is a particular
issue in the heart of downtown.
As the DBRP nears completion, the Planning Department is beginning the process of
updating the City’s zoning code. As part of both of these processes, utilizing previous
Page 101 of 339
and current data, downtown parking standards (among other things) will be assessed,
and revisions recommended.
In the interim, to assist with continuing progress on meeting Council’s goals and to
facilitate continued interest in the downtown, staff is proposing temporary relief (not
exceeding 18 months), from parking standards, specific to existing, non -residential
structures in the Downtown District while the DBRP and Zoning Code Update are
completed.
Planning Commission
At a public hearing held on August 23, 2023, this item was presented to the City’s
Planning Commission. There were no public comments on this item. Planning
Commission concurred with staff and forwarded a recommendation of approval to City
Council.
Environmental Determination
In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section
15304(e), adoption of this ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA, because it
results in a minor, temporary alteration in the use of land which will have no permanent
effect on the environment. Fiscal Impact: The cost to prepare this staff report and
ordinance is approximately $1,000.
At the September 5, 2023, City Council meeting, the Council by a vote of 5 -0 waived the
first full reading and approved the ordinance.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this staff report and ordinance is approximately $1,000.
Recommended Action:
Waive the second full reading and approve by title only “An Ordinance of the City
Council of the City of Beaumont Temporarily Suspending Parking Requirements for
Existing, Non-residential Structures in the Downtown District for a Period not to Exceed
Eighteen (18) Months.”

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BEAUMONT, SUSPENDING PARKING
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXISTING NON-RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURES IN THE DOWNTOWN DISTRICT
AS IDENTIFIED IN THE DOWNTOWN
DISTRICTS MAP FOR A PERIOD OF EIGHTEEN
(18) MONTHS
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to promote and encourage business activity
in the downtown area of the City; and
WHEREAS, there are vacant buildings in downtown Beaumont built in decades
past which cannot be utilized for their intended uses due to lacking the number of parking
spaces required by the City’s current parking requirements; and
WHEREAS, Vacant buildings are a threat to public peace, health, safety and
welfare as they contribute to blight, are a drain on City resources and fail to generate
much needed business activity in downtown Beaumont.
WHEREAS, The City of Beaumont is in the process of preparing a Downtown
Revitalization Plan and updating the zoning code, both of which envision a City structure
that enhances the quality of life of the residents, enhances the health safety and welfare
of the community, meets the community’s vision for the future, and connects new growth
areas together with established Beaumont neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, Current parking requirements do not support the City’s goals of
achieving revitalization in the Downtown and promoting a vibrant, walkable environment
and promoting the aesthetic and fiscal health of the community.
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was conducted on this ordinance as
required by law by the Planning Commission on August 23, 2023; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Beaumont has reviewed the reasons
for the recommendation of approval by the Planning Commission as described above;
THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Page 103 of 339
2
SECTION 1: The City Council hereby finds that the temporary suspension of parking
requirements established in Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 17.05, in the downtown
area, is consistent with the adopted policies in the City of Beaumont Economic
Development Strategic Plan and the General Plan of the City of Beaumont. For purposes
of this ordinance, the downtown area is defined in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and
made a part hereof by this reference. The suspension of Beaumont Municipal Code
Chapter 17.05 shall end on the earlier of April 30, 2025 or when the City Council adopts
the new zoning ordinance that is currently under review.
SECTION 2: The City’s General Plan and the Economic Development Strategic Plan
include specific goals and policies that aim to promote fiscal stability and business
growth. Specifically, goals of the City’s General Plan provide for maintaining and,
where appropriate expanding the City’s commercial base and promoting development
of modern and attractive business activities that will enhance the City’s economic well-
being. The Safety Element of the General Plan strives to take public health safety and
welfare impacts into consideration and incorporate measures to mitigate the likelihood
of visual blight, nuisance and criminal activity. Due to the City’s need to update the
Zoning Code and Economic Development Strategic Plan, it is important that the City
study and evaluate options available to it regarding regulation of parking in the
Downtown area to prevent the adverse impacts that may result from unoccupied
buildings in the City’s downtown.
SECTION 3: In accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, Section 15304(e), adoption of this ordinance is categorically exempt from
CEQA, because it results in a minor, temporary alteration in the use of land which will
have no permanent effect on the environment.
SECTION 4: This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its final passage
and within fifteen (15) days after its passage the City Clerk shall cause a summary to be
published in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the City of
Beaumont, in a manner prescribed by law for publishing of ordinances of said City.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Carole Kendrick, Planning Manager
DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Beaumont Municipal
Chapter 17.08 “Nonconforming Uses”
Description Second reading for amendments to Nonconforming Uses Chapter 17.08 of
the Beaumont Municipal Code.
Background and Analysis:
Planning staff is proposing updates to the Nonconforming Uses section of the
Beaumont Municipal Code to address issues that have been identified recently with
several properties, in addition to reducing the period of time in which a nonconforming
use or structure can be considered legal nonconforming.
Nonconforming is described in Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 17.14.060 and
generally describes nonconforming uses as previously approved uses that are no longer
allowed in the zone. Nonconforming structures are previously permitted structures that
may no longer be allowed in the zone and/or do not comply with current development
standards.
There have been several instances where a nonconforming use has failed to keep a
current business license for a year or longer, but due to the language in the current
Nonconforming Uses section of the Municipal Code, staff has been unable to deny
renewals for nonconforming uses. The proposed addition of “legal” use and “fails to
keep a current business license” will provide staff with the ability to enforce the current
zoning code and encourage business owners to keep their business licenses valid.
The loss of nonconforming status is recommended to go from one (1) year to six
(months) consistent with most jurisdictions including the surrounding cities of Calimesa,
Banning, San Jacinto and Hemet.
Clarifying language has been added to Section 17.08.030.A.1 to include accessory
structures and/or improvements that continue the nonconformity. The recommended
language will address concerns raised during the building permit plan review process.
Page 108 of 339
Section 17.08.030.B.1 has been updated to reflect the following changes:
Additions to Structures that are 25 percent or Less of the Total Floor Area Excluding
Garages. An enlargement, extension, reconstruction or structural alteration of a
structure that is nonconforming and does not exceed 25 percent of the existing total
floor area, excluding garages, may be allowed if the additions or improvements conform
to all other applicable provisions of the development code, and the exterior limits of the
new construction do not exceed the applicable height limit or encroach any further into
the setbacks than the comparable portions of the existing building. If the nonconforming
structure is in a residential zone, the applicant shall provide a certified notification letter
to any applicable homeowner association and all adjacent property owners 14 days in
advance of approval of a zoning clearance. This provision can only be used once e very
five years. Any additional changes to structure which exceed s a total of 25 percent
within five years from the issuance of a building permit may be allowed with subject to
approval of a conditional use permit approval.
The proposed modifications to the Nonconforming Uses section of the Beaumont
Municipal Code will further advance the vision for the Downtown and the 2040 General
Plan and discourage the long-term continuance of nonconformities.
CEQA:
The City has analyzed this proposed project and has determined that is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines, which provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance
in itself does not relate to any physical project and will not result in any physical change
to the environment and does not affect the land use or density limitations of the General
Plan. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this
ordinance may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, and therefore, the
adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
Public Communications Received:
A 10-day public notice was placed in the Press Enterprise on August 11, 2023. At the
time of report preparation, the Planning Department has not received any letters of
comment from the public in favor or opposition to the project. Any comments received
prior to the time of the scheduled City Council meeting will be provided to the Council at
the time of the public hearing. Proof of publication is included as Attachment C to this
staff report.
Page 109 of 339
Planning Commission:
The Beaumont Municipal Code Section 17.02.080.E authorizes the Planning Commission
to recommend to the City Council approval, approval with modifications, or denial of the
proposed application. The amended nonconforming language was presented to the
Planning Commission during a public hearing on August 23, 2023. The Planning
Commission by a vote of 3-0 is recommending approval of the amendments to
Nonconforming Uses Chapter 17.08 of the Beaumont Municipal Code.
City Council Authority:
The Beaumont Municipal Code Section 17.02.080.G states that upon receipt of a
Planning Commission resolution recommendation for approval of a change of zone or
zoning ordinance amendment, or denial of a zoning ordinance text amendm ent, the City
Clerk shall set the matter for hearing before the City. At the hearing, the City Council
shall review the Commission's recommendation and receive evidence as to how or why
the proposed change of zone or zoning ordinance text amendment is cons istent with the
objectives of this Zoning Ordinance, the City of Beaumont General Plan, and
development policies of the City. The City Council shall act to approve or deny the
application by resolution.
At the September 5, 2023, City Council meeting, th e Council by a vote of 5-0 waived the
first full reading and approved the proposed amendment.
Findings:
The Beaumont Municipal Code Section 17.02.080.I requires the City Council to make
the following findings of fact before approving a change of zone or zoning ordinance text
amendment:
1. That the proposed change of zone or zoning ordinance text amendment is
consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan.
The proposed modification to the ordinance is consistent with the goals, policies,
and objectives of the General Plan. The proposed amendment will further assist
the City in realizing the vision for the Downtown that is included in the 2040
General Plan as Chapter 11.
Page 110 of 339
2. That the proposed change of zone or zoning ordinance text am endment will not
adversely affect surrounding properties.
The proposed zoning ordinance text amendment will not adversely affect
surrounding properties as it will discourage the use of nonconforming uses and
structures.
3. That the proposed change of zone or zoning ordinance text amendment
promotes public health, safety, and general welfare and serves the goals and
purposes of this Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed zoning ordinance text amendment promotes public health, safety,
and general welfare and serves the goals and purposes of the Zoning Ordinance.
The reduction in the time that a nonconforming use or structure can retain the
pre-existing status will further assist the City in implementing the 2040 General
Plan.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this staff report is approximately $300.00.
Recommended Action:
Waive the second reading and adopt by title only “An Ordinance of the City Council of
the City of Beaumont Amending the Beaumont Municipal Code Chapter 17.08
‘Nonconforming Uses’.”

TITLE 17 ‐ ZONING
Chapter 17.08 NONCONFORMING USES
Beaumont, California, Code of Ordinances Created: 2023‐05‐25 08:14:34 [EST]
(Supp. No. 7, Update 3)
Page 1 of 3
Chapter 17.08 NONCONFORMING USES
17.08.010 Purpose and authority.
This chapter establishes uniform provisions for the regulation of legal nonconforming structures, legal land
uses and lots. Within the zoning districts established by title, there exist structures, land uses and lots that were
lawful prior to the adoption, or amendment of this development code, but which would be prohibited, or
regulated or restricted differently under the terms of this development code or future amendments. It is the intent
of this development code to discourage the long‐term continuance of these nonconformities, but to permit them
to exist under limited conditions.
( Ord. No. 1128 , § 2(Exh. B), 12‐1‐2020)
17.08.020 Applicability.
This Chapter applies to all zone districts and to any parcels or structures in the City Beaumont that are
nonconforming.
( Ord. No. 1128 , § 2(Exh. B), 12‐1‐2020)
17.08.030 Restrictions regarding nonconforming structures and uses.
Nonconformities may be continued subject to the following provisions, except as otherwise provided by this
Section 17.08.
A. Nonconforming Uses of Land. A legal nonconforming use of land or within a structure may be
continued, transferred or sold, provided that the use shall not be:
1. Enlarged or increased including adding accessory structures and/or improvements; and
2. Be extended to occupy a greater area than it lawfully occupied before becoming a
nonconforming use, except when the review authority finds that the modification provides a
public safety benefit (e.g., safer traffic flow) and the modification is otherwise consistent with
this Chapter; and
3. No additional uses shall be established on the site unless the nonconforming use is first
discontinued, and any replacement use shall comply with all applicable provisions of this
development code.
B. Nonconforming Structures. A legal nonconforming structure may continue to be used as follows:
1. Additions to Structures that are 25 percent or Less of the Total Floor Area Excluding Garages. An
enlargement, extension, reconstruction or structural alteration of a structure that is
nonconforming and does not exceed 25 percent of the existing total floor area, excluding
garages, may be allowed if the additions or improvements conform to all other applicable
provisions of the development code, and the exterior limits of the new construction do not
exceed the applicable height limit or encroach any further into the setbacks than the comparable
portions of the existing building. If the nonconforming structure is in a residential zone, the
applicant shall provide a certified notification letter to any applicable homeowner association
and all adjacent property owners 14 days in advance of approval of a zoning clearance. This
Page 114 of 339
Created: 2023‐05‐25 08:14:34 [EST]
(Supp. No. 7, Update 3)
Page 2 of 3
provision can only be used once per structure every five years. Any additional changes to
structure which exceedsexceed a total of 25 percent within five years from the issuance of a
building permit may be allowed with subject to approval of a conditional use permit approval.
2. Additions to Structures that are Greater Than 25 Percent of Total Floor Area Excluding Garages.
The enlargement, extension, reconstruction or structural alteration of a structure that is
nonconforming and which exceeds 25 percent of the existing total floor area, excluding garages,
may be allowed with subject to approval of a conditional use permit approval if the additions or
improvements conform to all other applicable provisions of the development code and the
exterior limits of the new construction do not exceed the applicable height limit or encroach any
further into the setbacks than the comparable portions of the existing building. The applicant
must provide a certified notification letter to any applicable homeowner association, the
required application, submittal requirements, and fees prior to scheduling a public hearing.
3. Maintenance and Repair. A nonconforming structure may undergo normal maintenance and
repairs, provided no structural alterations are made (exception: see subsection 4, following), and
the work does not exceed 15 percent of the appraised value of the structure as shown in the
Riverside County assessor's records in any one year period, unless the commission allows more
extensive work through conditional use permit approval after finding that the additional work
will not prolong the duration of the nonconforming use; and
4. Seismic Retrofitting. Reconstruction required to reinforce un‐reinforced masonry structures shall
be permitted without cost limitations, provided the retrofitting is limited exclusively to
compliance with earthquake safety standards.
C. Nonconforming Use of a Conforming Structure. The legal nonconforming use of a building that
otherwise conforms with all applicable provisions of this chapter may be continued, transferred and
sold, as follows:
1. Expansion of Use. The nonconforming use of a portion of a structure may be extended
throughout the building with subject to approval of a conditional use permit approval.
2. Substitution of Use. The nonconforming use of a structure may be changed to a use of the same

DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with SGH
Architects for the City Hall Renovations Project, in an Amount Not to
Exceed $48,875 – Capital Improvement Project (CIP) CF-104
Description Approve an amendment to the professional services agreement with SGH
Architects for the City Hall Renovations Project, in an amount not to exceed $48,875.
Background and Analysis:
The City Hall Renovations Project will provide various improvements to City Hall.
These improvements include renovations to existing restrooms; the addition of a new
restroom and mother’s room; new office and cubicle spaces; new customer service
counters; new roofing; and upgrades to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire sprinklers, and
fire alarm systems.
On August 3, 2021, the City approved a Professional Services Agreement with SGH
Architects for the design of the City Hall Renovations project. The design portion of the
agreement was completed in January of 2023. The design scope also included
construction administration services, including RFI and submittal review, preparation of
revised drawings, change order review, and record drawings.
In March of 2023 the construction contract was awarded to Dalke Construction.
Throughout construction, SGH Architects has continued to provide construction
administration services. Additional items have come up during construction that have
extended the scope of the construction services. These include the design of extensive
ADA ramp improvements; and preparation of construction bulletins and revised
drawings for fire rated walls, additional HVAC ducting, additional plumbing and electrical
changes, and changes to office wall framing. Additional construction support services
and RFI reviews have also been necessary due to unforeseen conditions during
construction.
Page 118 of 339
SGH Architects has provided a scope and fee for these additional construction
administration services. An amendment to the professional services agreement is
recommended to cover these costs.
Project Status Update:
SGH Architects is continuing to review RFI’s, approve construction submittals, and
provide construction bulletins and revised drawings for construction changes. They
recently provided revised drawings for changes to wall framing and HVAC and are
currently finalizing design changes to the ADA ramps. Construction is anticipated to be
substantially complete by the end of the year.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Carole Kendrick, Planning Manager
DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Code Amendment to Several Sections within Chapter 17 of the Beaumont
Municipal Code to Establish Objective Design Standards
Description Presentation of the Public Hearing Draft of the Objective Design
Standards and Ordinance Amendment to modify amend Chapter 17.03.060
“Residential, Single-Family Zone”, Chapter 17.06.065 “Residential, Traditional
Neighborhood”, Chapter 17.09.040 “Downtown Mixed-Use Zone”, Chapter 17.19.060
“Sixth Street Mixed-Use Zone”, and Chapter 17.19.070 “Sixth Street Mixed-Use
Residential Zone” to establish Objective Design Standards in the Beaumont Municipal
Code
Background and Analysis:
In Fall 2021, the preparation of the administrative draft of objective design standards
began during the period of the preparation of the 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update.
Due to anticipated changes to the Objective Design Standards in relation to the
adoption of the 6th Cycle Housing Element, the process was paused until the
certification of the Housing Element.
On December 12, 2022, the State of California, Department of Housing and Community
Development adopted the City of Beaumont 6th Cycle Housing Element. The City’s 6th
Cycle Housing Element Program 19 identifies that the Planning Department shall
facilitate the adoption of Objective Design Standards for residential and mixed -use
projects. The purpose of these standards is to expedite the approval process for such
projects and support the City in meeting its housing goals.
The draft Objective Design Standards were developed utilizing the following sources:
The City’s existing development and design standards;
Design guidance as expressed in the City’s various area plans (e.g., Fairway
Canyon, Sundance, Heartland “Olivewood”;
Images and observations of existing context/built environment;
Page 147 of 339
The August 2022 Draft Western Riverside Council of Governments Objective
Design Standards Toolkit; and
Best practice recommendations.
The changes are proposed primarily in single family residential and mixed-use zones
that include:
Residential Single Family (RSF)
Residential Traditional Neighborhood (RTN)
Downtown Mixed-Use (DMU)
Sixth Street Mixed-Use (SSMU)
Sixth Street Mixed-Use Residential (SSMUR)
The recommended standards include façade articulation, compatibility with adjacent
buildings, entries, materials, and parking design/access. The design standards will not
alter basic development standards (e.g., density, setbacks, overall building height, lot
coverage, parking ratios, etc.) or include standards for architectural style, window
placement and design, privacy, roof design, building colors, or other standards not listed
above.
The proposed Administrative Draft complies with requirements in applicable law,
including SB 35 and SB 330.
On May 10, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a work study to review the
administrative hearing draft of the Objective Design Standards. The City Council also
conducted a work study on May 16, 2023. The consultant has made modifications to
the proposed Objective Design Standards based on the feedback that was provided at
both work study meetings. The hearing draft, as shown in Attachment B, is the updated
clean copy of the Objective Design Standards and a redlined version is provided as
Attachment C to the staff report.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to review the public hearing draft
of the Objective Design Standards at their August 23, 2023, meeting. At the public
hearing, the Planning Commissioners briefly discussed the item after the consultant’s
presentation and by a vote of 3-0 forwarded a recommendation of approval to the City
Council.
On September 5, 2023, the City Council opened the public hearing, received a brief
staff report and continued the item with no discussion to the September 19, 2023, City
Council meeting.
Page 148 of 339
CEQA:
The City has analyzed this proposed project and has determined that i t is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines, which provides that CEQA only applies to projects that have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance
in itself does not relate to any physical project and will not result in any physical change
to the environment and does not affect the land use or density limitations of the General
Plan. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this
ordinance may have a significant adverse effect on the environment, and therefore, the
adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the
CEQA Guidelines.
Public Communications Received:
A combined Planning Commission and City Council 10-day public notice was placed in
the Press Enterprise on August 11, 2023. At the time of report preparation, the
Planning Department has not received any letters of comment from the public in favor or
opposition to the project. Any comments received prior to the time of the scheduled City
Council meeting will be provided to the Council at the time of the public hearing. Proof
of publication is included as Attachment D to this staff report.
Planning Commission Authority:
The Beaumont Municipal Code Section 17.02.080.E authorizes the Planning
Commission to recommend to the City Council approval, approval with modifications, or
denial of the proposed application. The Commission’s recommendation shall be
transmitted to the City Clerk for scheduling the matter for consideration by the City
Council.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost to prepare this staff report is approximately $500.00.
Recommended Action:
Hold the continued Public Hearing; and
Waive the first full readings and approve by title only “An Ordinance of the City Council
of the City of Beaumont, California to Amend Chapter 17.03.060 ‘Residential, Single-
Family Zone’, Chapter 17.06.065 ‘Residential, Traditional Neighborhood’, Chapter

SUBJECT: Consider Adopting a Resolution Waiving the Special Event Permit
Application Fee and Police Department Charges for Service for the 33rd
Annual Oktoberfest Event at Noble Creek Regional Park
Description Fee waiver request from the Beaumont Cherry Valley Recreation and Park
District.
Background and Analysis:
Beaumont Cherry Valley Recreation and Park District (BCVRPD) has submitted a
request for consideration of waiving the special event permit application fee and police
services fees for their 33rd annual Oktoberfest event held on September 15th – 17th at
Noble Creek Regional Park.
The special event permit application fee is deposit-based set at $5,000. Applicants
deposit $5,000 with the City at the time of application submittal and then any staff time
spent reviewing the application and drafting required conditions of approval are then
charged against the deposit. Any remaining balance once the process is completed and
the permit issued would then be refunded to the applicant. Staff costs for BCVRPD’s
application for the Oktoberfest event are $1,345.81.
Historically, BCVRPD is invoiced for any police services provide d for this event. Those
costs generally range from $2,500 to $3,000 and are based on actual time paid to
employees to cover the event. This year’s estimated charge for police services is
approximately $3,500. Actual costs will be calculated once the event concludes.
BCVRPD is requesting a waiver of both the special event permit application fee and
police services fees for the 2023 Oktoberfest.
Fiscal Impact:
The total amount of fees requested to be waived for the 33 rd Annual Oktoberfest is
approximately $4,845.81. City staff estimate the cost to prepare this report is $154.
Page 218 of 339
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends City Council consider waiving the special event permit application
fees ONLY, and
Waive the full reading and adopt by title only, “A Resolution of the City of Beaumont
Authorizing the Waiver of a One-Time Special Event Permit Application Fee for the 33 rd
Annual Oktoberfest Event at Noble Creek Regional Park.”

FROM: Sean Thuilliez, Chief of Police
DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Approve a Five-Year Software and Services Agreement with Sun Ridge
Systems, Inc. for the Replacement of the Police Department’s CAD/RMS
System for a Total of $968,596
Description Request to approve the purchase of a replacement Computer Aided
Dispatch and Records Management System (CAD/RMS) for the Police Department.
Background and Analysis:
In June 2019, the Beaumont Police Department contracted with Mark43 for Computer
Aided Dispatching (CAD) and Records Management Software (RMS). At the time,
Mark43 was a new CAD/RMS service in California that showed potential in its promised
capabilities. Since transitioning to Mark43, the service has failed to meet the needs of
the Beaumont Police Department. There have been extensive and ongoing efforts by
the Department to work with Mark43 to correct deficiencies, but their system continues
to underperform. The five-year contract with Mark43 expires June 30, 2024.
The Beaumont Police Department desires to replace an underperforming system with
an updated system that better meets the needs of the Beaumont community in terms of
access, reporting, and analysis and more effectively enables the Department to comply
with new and emerging data collection and reporting requirements.
The CAD/RMS system is one of the most critical software systems used by any law
enforcement agency. Accurate records and data retrieval are essential for effective
police duties and management. Reporting accurate crime data is a fundamental
expectation of the community, and the Beaumont Police Department wants to continue
meeting that expectation with the most effective available technology.
The Department is seeking an integrated CAD/RMS solution that offers the capability to
comply with existing and upcoming mandates, capture ongoing statistical data,
accurately measure performance, better equip first responders with relevant
information, reduce report writing time, and thus free up resources, enhance internal
Page 229 of 339
cross-training, and be technologically progressive. A key to this procurement is
obtaining one fully integrated solution from a single vendor.
Sun Ridge Systems is a California-based company that has been providing CAD/RMS
service to law enforcement agencies throughout the state for over 38 years under the
product name RIMS. RIMS has a proven track record for being an efficient and
effective system, and every agency contacted that uses RIMS provided positive
reviews. The Beaumont Police Department has evaluated RIMS and has determined
that its product meets all current and future needs of the Department. Unlike Mark43,
which provides a subscription service, RIMS is licensed software that will be owned by
the City.
Sun Ridge Systems has presented a contract that breaks down the purchase into five
annual payments of $127,243 for a total purchase cost of $636,215. The annual
support costs will be $66,450. The annual cost will be $193,824 for year one and
$193,693 for years two through five, then $66,450 for all remaining years.
The City of Emeryville has conducted an extensive evaluation and competitive bid
process in determining Sun Ridge Systems RIMS was the best option for CAD/RMS
services. The implementation of a new CAD/RMS system is expected to take nine to
eleven months, and the current contract with Mark43 expires on June 30, 2024. Using
Emeryville’s formal bid process report, Beaumont Municipal Code 3.01.110 authorizes
the City to determine that the competitive bidding requirements have been completed.
Currently, the department budgets $93,000 annually for the current CAD/RMS system
support.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the software, equipment, accessories, programming, and training is
$636,215 (five annual payments of $127,243), with an additional Annual support
payment of $66,450 for a total five-year cost of $968,596.00.
During the five-year purchase payment plan, all expenses in excess of the pre-budgeted
$93,000 will be paid using the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Account
(SLESA) funds. The final CADS/RMS payment has been paid in the FY24 budget, and
a future budget amendment will be brought back to Council for the $93,000 General
Fund cost of the new contract and the remaining $100,693 of the SLESA cost.
The estimated cost to prepare this report is $1,000.
Page 230 of 339
Recommended Action:
Approve the five-year Software and Services Agreement with Sun Ridge Systems, Inc.
for the purchase of a replacement CAD/RMS system in the total amount of $968,596.

Exhibit C - Support Services Agreement
This is a description of the software support, maintenance, and update/upgrade services to be provided
by Sun Ridge to the City (“Licensee”) as part of a Software Support Services Agreement (“Agreement”).
This Agreement covers all RIMS public safety software (Software) licensed by the Licensee.
Under this agreement Sun Ridge agrees to provide the following services to Licensee:
1. Coverage Hours. Sun Ridge will provide a toll-free phone number and dedicated email address
for support purposes during normal service hours. Normal service hours are defined as Monday-
Friday, 8AM-5PM PST, except for New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day,
Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, and
Christmas Day (“common holidays”).
However, for instances where the Licensee’s system is completely inoperable due to a Sun Ridge
software problem (“critical problems”) preventing basic system operation, service will be
available 24 hours, 7 days a week, common holidays included. Examples of critical problems
include:
- RIMS is down/not responding on multiple workstations
- Cannot create a call for service (CAD Incident)
- Cannot issue a case number
- Unable to access NCIC
- Other issues that will not allow the user to complete critical tasks
Licensee will have taken reasonable measures prior to contacting Sun Ridge’s support during
non-service hours including:
- Verified that the issue is not related to just 1 workstation
- Restarted the workstation in question
- Contacted in-house IT support if the issue is related to network or server errors
- Verified the issue is critical enough that it cannot wait until normal support hours
2. Sun Ridge’s Response to reported problems. Sun Ridge agrees to provide service and assistance
as expeditiously as possible as follows:
a. Most problems will be resolved with the initial phone call or email.
b. For problems that cannot be immediately resolved, Sun Ridge will work to resolve the
problem based on the severity of the problem and the urgency reported by Licensee.
Page 293 of 339
Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. – City of Beaumont v3 Page 17
● For critical problems, Sun Ridge personnel will work with Licensee until the situation is
resolved.
● For problems that are not critical problems that have a lesser though continuing impact
on operations of Licensee, Sun Ridge will endeavor to provide a solution or workaround
within 72 hours of the problem being reported to Sun Ridge by the Licensee.
● For other problems Sun Ridge may, at its discretion, either issue a near term "fix release"
of the product or include the fix in the next scheduled product update.
3. Licensee equipment and software responsibilities. Licensee agrees to allow Sun Ridge to
remotely connect to Licensee’s system when a problem is reported. Sun Ridge uses BeyondTrust
remote access software for secure installation and follow-on support services. BeyondTrust
software provides superior security and does so over an ordinary internet connection via a Sun
Ridge server that hosts a BeyondTrust security hardware device.
If Licensee does not allow unattended access, the Sun Ridge response to a service request may be
delayed until a responsible party of the Licensee allows access. Once remote access is obtained,
Sun Ridge will examine data files, investigate reported problems, and provide updates and
corrections as necessary.
4. Provision of software updates. Sun Ridge will provide all new enhanced and updated versions of
software licensed to Licensee at no additional cost. This software will be provided with detailed
installation instructions for installation by Licensee. If desired, Licensee may retain Sun Ridge to
perform any installation at additional cost to be determined on a per case basis. Updates are
distributed via download from the Sun Ridge’s ftp web site. Sun Ridge will not be obligated to
provide service for release versions that are more than two annual release versions older than
the current release.
5. Term. The term of support services shall be one year shall be annually renewed for another year
upon payment of invoice. Payment for the year is due in advance the day the services begin. Non-
payment of the support invoice within 60 days shall be cause for terminating or suspending the
support services at the discretion of Sun Ridge.
6. Termination. Licensee may terminate support services with or without cause upon ninety (90)
days written notice to Sun Ridge. If terminated, Licensee is entitled to a prorated refund for the
service days not consumed beginning on the last day of the month the written notice is received
by Sun Ridge to the end of the remaining term of the Agreement.
7. Limitations. Sun Ridge agrees to provide support only for public safety application software
provided by Sun Ridge. Other software used by Licensee (word processing, spreadsheet, etc.) is
not included in this Agreement. PC and network operating system software and Microsoft SQL
Server database system software is similarly not included, although Sun Ridge may assist Licensee
in isolating problems to this software. (Sun Ridgereserves the right to charge for diagnostic
services in the event it is determined that the reported issue is not attributable to RIMS.) Also
Page 294 of 339
Sun Ridge Systems, Inc. – City of Beaumont v3 Page 18
specifically excluded is responsibility for administration, support, or maintenance of Licensee’
server, computer network, operating systems, or database (Microsoft SQL Server).
Licensee may request that Sun Ridge provide support services outside the limitations of this
Support Services Agreement. If Sun Ridge agrees to provide any requested additional support
services, such support services will be provided at Sun Ridge’s current rate and under terms and
conditions that Sun Ridge may require.
This Agreement does not include equipment maintenance or assistance in diagnosing hardware
problems including but not limited to PCs, printers, network, scanners, and other computer
peripheral devices with the exception that Sun Ridge will assist Licensee in determining whether
a problem is RIMS application software in nature.

Staff Report
TO: City Council
FROM: Sean Thuilliez, Chief of Police
DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion to Consider an Ordinance Prohibiting the Unlawful Possession
of a Catalytic Converter
Description Review proposed ordinance and provide direction to staff.
Background and Analysis:
The City of Beaumont is considering an ordinance to prohibit the unlawful possession of
catalytic converters. This ordinance is being proposed in response to the recent
increase in catalytic converter thefts in the City.
A catalytic converter is an emissions control device that converts harmful pollutants in
exhaust gas into less harmful pollutants. Catalytic converters are made of precious
metals, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which are valuable and can be easily
stolen.
Catalytic converter thefts have been on the rise nationwide, and California has the
dubious honor of leading the country in the number of converters stolen.
The proposed ordinance would make it unlawful for any person to possess a catalytic
converter that is not attached to a motor vehicle. The ordinance would also require any
person who is in possession of a catalytic converter to provide immediate proof of lawful
possession to law enforcement upon request. Such proof may include a bill of sale from
the original owner with photographs, documentation from an auto-body shop proving the
owner relinquished the catalytic converter to the auto-body shop, or other manner of
proof as defined in the ordinance.
The ordinance would be enforced by the Police Department. Violators of the ordinance
would be guilty of a misdemeanor and could be punished by a fine of up to $1,000 or
imprisonment for up to six months, or both.
Page 296 of 339
Fiscal Impact:
There is no negative impact to the general fund. The cost to prepare this staff report is
estimated at $500.00.
Recommended Action:
Discuss and provide direction to staff to advertise a notice of public hearing at the next
available City Council meeting.

CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE NO . _________
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BEAUMONT, CALIFORNIA, ADDING SECTION ______ OF THE
BEAUMONT MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING REGULATIONS
PROHIBITING THE UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF CATALYTIC
CONVERTERS IN THE CITY
WHEREAS, the citizens of the City of Beaumont have been plagued with a significant increase
of catalytic converter thefts from automobiles over the past several years; and
WHEREAS , catalytic converter thefts increased 1,215% from 2019 and 2022, nationwide; and
WHEREAS, there is currently no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City
of Beaumont to define and punish catalytic converter thefts absent an identifiable victim; and
WHEREAS, there is currently no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City
of Beaumont to prosecute the recycling or sale of unlawfully obtained catalyti c converters, thus
incentivizing criminal enterprise of catalytic converter thefts without a known victim; and
WHEREAS, there are currently no City, State, or Federal legislation applicable within the City
of Beaumont requiring individuals to provide proof to law enforcement as to how they obtained
catalytic converters, thus limiting law enforcement's ability to protect the public by preventing catalytic
converter thefts and preventing law enforcement from seizing suspected stolen catalytic converters
when no victim present; and
WHEREAS, catalytic converter thefts are on the rise because individuals are incentivized to
commit catalytic converter thefts for multiple reasons including, but not limited to: (1) the ease and
undetectable nature of committing the thefts in a matter of seconds using common tools such as a
reciprocating saw, (2) the ability to recycle catalytic converters at scrap metal yards for high dollar
returns ranging from $200 to $1,200 per catalytic converter, and (3) loopholes in legislation protecting
criminals from prosecution unless a victim can be identified; and
WHEREAS, finding a suspect of these crimes is nearly impossible due to the undetectable
nature of the catalytic converter thefts and catalytic converters being untraceable to link back to a
victim (no identifying markers on the catalytic converters); and
WHEREAS, due to lack of legislation defining and prosecuting these thefts, many of the
catalytic converter theft cases in the City of Beaumont have gone unsolved, which is fundamentally
unacceptable for the citizens of the City of Beaumont; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Beaumont and the Beaumont Police Department are in need of
legislation for multiple reasons including, but not limited to: (1) deterrence by establishing zero-
tolerance for catalytic converter thefts, (2) sanctions for possessing stolen catalytic converters, (3)
preventing criminals from profiting from the sale and recycling of stolen catalytic converters, (4)
providing indirect justice to the victims of catalytic converters whose cases will go unsolved, (5)
reducing Part I crime statistics which have been substantially negatively impacted by catalytic
converter thefts, and (6) minimizing the fiscal and personnel impact on the City of Beaumont invested
in deterring and investigating catalytic converter thefts; and
Page 298 of 339
WHEREAS, individuals who are in possession of stolen catalytic converters recycle them for
substantial profit while victims of these thefts suffer tremendous consequences of paying thousands of
dollars in repairs, the inconvenience of repairing their vehicles, and feeling unsafe in the community;
and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance is necessary to provide the City of Beaumont Police Department
clearly established legal authority to protect the public and deter this criminal activity.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Beaumont DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein.
SECTION 2. Section _________ of the Beaumont Municipal Code is hereby added to read in
its entirety as follows:
Section ___________
UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Sec. __________- Unlawful Possession of a Catalytic Converter.
A. It shall be unlawful to possess any catalytic converter that is not attached to a vehicle
unless the possessor has valid documentation or other proof to verify they are in lawful
possession of the catalytic converter.
B. For purposes of this section, "lawful possession" includes being the lawful owner of the

DATE September 19, 2023
SUBJECT: Re-Appropriation of FY23 Unexpended Expenditures, Budget Overages,
and Project Funding Rollovers
Description Re-Appropriation and budget adjustment.
Background and Analysis:
FY23 Unexpended Expenditures
Per the City of Beaumont Financial Management Policy, unexpended appropriations
cannot be used in subsequent fiscal years unless re-appropriated by the City Council.
Unexpended expenditures result in an increase in fund balance when actual revenues
exceed expenditures at the end of the FY. In the case of planned use of reserves, the
reserves are left within the fund balance and are available for allocation. Re-
appropriation of these funds will allow for the budgetary authorization of the requests
below that were budgeted in FY23 and for various reasons could not be spent and need
to be re-appropriated into the FY24 budget.
General Fund
In FY23, the City Council approved various one-time purchases within the FY23 budget.
Due to supply chain issues, shipping delays and unanticipated service delays, the items
or services were not completed within FY23. Attachment A provides a detailed listing
of requested carryover items for re-appropriation from the FY23 budget. The need for
these items or contractual obligations should be recognized within the FY24 spending
authority provided by the City Council. Below is the department needs for re -
appropriation in the amount of $2,458,456. All department requests are within the FY23
original appropriated amount.
Department Amount
City Clerk $107,000
Administration $1,018,215
IT $14,314
Page 306 of 339
Economic Development $709,500
Police $27,092
Building and Safety $36,275
Street Maintenance $57,133
Building Maintenance $44,077
Community Services $6,545
Parks and Grounds $196,767
TOTAL $2,216,918
Wastewater
Wastewater operations experienced similar delays and are requesting reappropriation
of FY23 funds to cover receipt of items within FY24.These items are also provided in
detail in Attachment A.
Department Amount
Wastewater $122,982
Internal Service Fund
The FY23 Internal Service Fund budget had appropriated vehicles within the City’s fleet
as identified as needing replacement. With the lack of supply these vehicles have been
difficult to obtain, however, the vehicles’ replacement need remains. City staff are
requesting the Council to re-appropriate the remaining vehicles and leftover outfitting
costs within the FY23 budget that were not able to be purchased nor outfitting services
performed before year end. This will authorize staff to obtain these vehicles and
supplemental costs when and if they become available withi n FY24. Details of the
request is provided within Attachment A.
Fund Amount
Internal Service Fund - IT $3,959
Internal Service Fund – Vehicles $94,597
TOTAL $98,556
Other Special Revenue Fund
The FY23 Other Special Revenue Fund budget had miscellaneous appropriated items
such as Program Costs for the Opioid Settlement as well as SB1383 Costs for the
Recycling Program. Training is continuing for Opioid Abuse and the Compost Recycling
video is still in the creation stage. City staff is requesting Council to re-appropriate
these funds within the FY23 budget that were not able to be spent. Details of the
request are provided within Attachment A.
Page 307 of 339
Fund Amount
PD – Program Costs Opioid Settlement $8,000
Recycling Program – SB 1383 Costs $12,000
TOTAL $20,000
Grand Total of All Re-Appropriations = $2,458,456
Budget Overages
Per the City of Beaumont Financial Management Policy, the City Manager will have the
authority to amend budgets within a departmental appropriation. When all appropriation
categories have gone overbudget within a department, City Council will need to approve
a budget adjustment to make the department budget whole. Attachment B is a budget
adjustment form with the listing of three departments that went over budget in all
categories. The total overage is $10,970.80 collectively. The funds will come from a
portion of the remaining balance of the Admin Department Contingency line item in the
FY23 budget. For transparency purposes, Attachment C was created to show how all
departments including Transit and Wastewater faired by year end. Green highlighted
departments needed amending within a departmental appropriation (City Manager
approval level per policy) and the yellow highlighted departments correspond with
Attachment B and are department overages that require City Council approval.
Project Funding Rollovers
Capital Improvement Projects are budgeted in the first year of programming in the
Capital Improvement Plan. These funds are not always spent in the year of
appropriation. Many projects span over multiple years and require reappropriation to
keep within spending authority of the funds providing the funding source. Attachment D
shows the detail needed to reappropriate for capital improvement projects within the
CIP in the amount of $65,988,892.
Fiscal Impact:
The impact of General Fund adjustments is to increase expenditure authority by
$2,216,913 and will reduce the fund balance in the General Fund by the same amount.
The impact of Wastewater adjustments is to increase expenditure authority by $122,982
and will reduce the fund balance by the same amount.
The impact of Internal Service Fund adjustment is to increase expenditure authority by
$98,555 and will decrease the fund balance by the same amount.
Page 308 of 339
The impact of Other Special Revenue Fund adjustment is to increase expenditure
authority by $20,000 and will decrease the fund balance by the same amount.
The impact to the General Fund reserves through funds available in the FY23 Admin
Budget contingency line item is $10,971
The impact of the Capital Improvement Projects is to increase expenditure authority by
$65,988,892 and will reduce the fund balance by the same amount.
Recommended Action:
Approve the proposed Re-appropriation of General Fund expenditures in the amount of
$2,216,913, and
Approve the re-appropriation of Wastewater expenditures in the amount of $122,982,
and
Approve the proposed re-appropriation of Internal Service Fund expenditures in the
amount of $98,555, and
Approve the proposed re-appropriation of Other Special Revenue Fund expenditures in
the amount of $20,000, and
Approve the budget adjustment of $10,971, and
Approve the re-appropriation of Capital Improvement Projects of $65,988,892.
