PROCLAMATION
RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY 2022 AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH
WHEREAS, in 1915 Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, noted Black scholar and son of former slaves, founded the Association for the study of Negro Life and History, which was later renamed the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH); and WHEREAS, Dr. Woodson initiated Black History Week, February 12, 1926. For many years, the second week of February, chosen so as to coincide with the birthdays of Fredrick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, was celebrated by African Americans in the United States; and WHEREAS, in 1976, as part of the Nation’s bicentennial, Black History Week was expanded and became established as Black History Month, and is now celebrated all over the world; and WHEREAS, we pay tribute to the heroes, sung and unsung, of African-American history, recalling the inner strength that sustained millions in bondage. We remember the courage that led activists to defy lynch mobs and register their neighbors to vote. We carry forward the unyielding hope that guided a movement as it bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. Even while we seek to dull the scars of slavery and legalized discrimination, we hold fast to the values gained through centuries of trial and suffering.

WHEREAS, Every American can draw strength from the story of hard-won progress, which not only defines the African-American experience, but also lies at the heart of our Nation as a whole. This story affirms that freedom is a gift from God, but it must be secured by His people here on earth. It inspires a new generation of leaders, and it teaches us all that when we come together in common purpose, we can right the wrongs of history and make our world anew; and WHEREAS, Black History Month reminds us to continue to fight for justice and equality and should be a uniting call to our nation to continue to work for a more diverse, supportive, inclusive, and protective union; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Leon Garcia, Mayor of the City of American Canyon, on behalf of the American Canyon City Council, do hereby proclaim February 2022 as Black History Month and call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and encourage residents of the American Canyon community, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the City Council of the City of American Canyon, having considered all the evidence, including any submitted by member of the public, hereby approves Zoning Code Amendments as shown below.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS. Based on the following evidence and as required by Zoning Ordinance Section

19.48.040 C, the City Council finds that:
a. The amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan.

General Plan Opportunities and Constraints #15 states that climate change impacts pose an immediate and growing threat to California’s economy, environment, and public health. The effects of climate change in American Canyon include increased temperatures, decreased air quality, reduced precipitation, flooding, a prolonged wildfire seasons and firestorms, mudslides, severe droughts, reduced water supply, property destruction, and damage to infrastructure.

To address these constraints, the proposed ordinance will fulfill related General Plan Policy 1.37.2 which states: “Recognizing that the transportation sector is the largest source of GHG emissions in American Canyon and in California more broadly, prohibit construction of new fossil-fuel stations in American Canyon.” The proposed Ordinance would achieve Policy 1.37.2 by prohibiting new fossil fuel stations in American Canyon. The proposed ordinance includes reasonable measures to address nonconforming gas stations and unforeseen “Force Majeure” events that cause a gap in gas station operations.
b. The amendment is consistent with the purposes of this title, as set forth in Chapter 19.01, Authority, Purposes and Effects of the Zoning Ordinance.

The amendment is consistent with the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance to protect and promote the public health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience, aesthetics, prosperity, and general welfare consistent with the City Council Climate Change Emergency Proclamation that acknowledges climate change caused by human activity represents a growing danger to human health, safety, and economic prosperity, and commits to a goal of net zero climate pollution, measured in terms of net contribution to excess trapped heat, by or before 2030 by implementing immediate and sustained actions in support of its achievement.

SECTION 2. ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS.

The following policies are hereby incorporated into the American Canyon Chapter 19 (“Zoning Code”):

Chapter 19.04 – Definitions
Section 19.04.030 – Citywide Definitions
*Note to Codifier: Add this new definition.

Force Majeure Event. A Force Majeure Event is an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of one or more parties that impacts their ability to perform. This definition of Force Majeure Event shall be limited to situations resulting in a declaration of a state or local emergency that was caused by acts of God or the elements, storms, wildfires, earthquakes, pandemics, wars, acts of terrorism, riots, or insurrection that significantly impact a party.
15 *Note to Codifier: Add this new definition.
“Zero-Emission Vehicle. A zero-emission vehicle is any type of vehicle that has no tailpipe emissions.

Vehicles run on electric motors and are powered by electricity delivered from batteries or hydrogen and fuel cells. In contrast to conventional internal combustion vehicles, zero emission vehicles prevent air pollution, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and help integrate renewable energy into the transportation sector. There are two kinds of zero emission vehicles: plug-in electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.”
Chapter 19.05 – Use Classifications
The Zoning Code Use Classification chapter defines every use that is Permitted, Conditionally-Permitted, or Prohibited in the City. Service Stations are only permitted in Commercial Zoning Districts and the Broadway District Specific Plan.

This classification includes incidental maintenance and repair of automobiles and light trucks. Should be discouraged at major intersections. *Note to Codifier: Add this new definition.

Fossil Fuel Service Station: an establishment engaged primarily in the retail of motor vehicle fossil fuels sales and incidentally in the supplying of goods and services required in the operation to operate and maintain maintenance of motor vehicles. This classification includes incidental of automobiles and light trucks repair and maintenance, but excludes body and fender work or repair of heavy trucks or vehicles, upholstery work, auto glass work, painting, tire recapping, auto dismantling, auto storage, and the sale of groceries, dairy products, liquor, garden supplies and similar items. *Note to Codifier: Add this new definition.

Zero Emission Vehicle Service Station: an establishment engaged primarily in retail electric vehicle fuel sales and incidental goods and services required to operate and maintain zero emission motor vehicles. This classification includes incidental maintenance and repair of automobiles and light trucks, but excludes body and fender work or repair of heavy trucks or vehicles, upholstery work, auto glass work, painting, tire recapping, auto dismantling, auto storage, and the sale of groceries, dairy products, liquor, garden supplies and similar items.

This classification does not include electric vehicle charging stations installed as an accessory use (see “Accessory Use” Definition Section 19.04.030).

Chapter 19.11 – Commercial Districts
The Zoning Code Commercial District chapter identifies the development standards and allowable uses in Commercial Zoning districts throughout the city.

Section 19.11.040 – Permitted Uses in Commercial Zoning Districts *Note to Codifier: Amend Table 1 to with the following changes:

2. Change Service Station from Conditionally Permitted to Prohibited in the Neighborhood Commercial and Community Commercial zoning districts.

3. Add Zero Emission Service Station as a Conditionally Permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial and Community Commercial zoning districts.

Chapter 19.49 – Nonconforming Uses, Structure, and Lots *Note to Codifier: Add this new Section 19.49.090.

STAFF REPORT

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NUMBER: 8.

TITLE
Acquisition of Certain Property for Public Purposes

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on finding and determining that the public interest, convenience, and necessity require the acquisi)on of certain property for public purposes and to ini)ate eminent domain proceedings for property bearing Assessors' Parcel Number 059-030-007, which is necessary for the construc)on of por)ons of the Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project, including the northern extension of Newell Drive and the construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail.

CONTACT
William D. Ross, City Attorney

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Watson Ranch Specific Plan (“WRSP”) Backbone Improvement Project (“Backbone Improvement Project”) includes the extension of Newell Drive from the southern Project boundary to the northern WRSP boundary, defining the eastern edge of the WRSP site. In addi)on, the WRSP contemplates the construc)on of a segment of the proposed Napa Valley Vine Trail through the WRSP site as part of the Project Community Trail System.

Although nego)a)ons are con)nuing with the Property Owners with respect to the necessary acquisi)on of necessary property acquisi)on to accomplish the Newell Drive extension and Vine Trail construc)on has stalled, it has become necessary to obtain by eminent domain a right of way, a trail easement, and temporary construc)on easement (“TCE”) in connec)on with the construc)on of the Backbone Improvement Project, which will include the northern extension of Newell Drive and the construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail (The “Project”).

The current issue before this Council is the approval of a Resolu)on of Necessity, a necessary precursor to the acquisi)on of property by eminent domain. A copy of the resolu)on is a@ached at A@achment 1. The property to be acquired in this Resolu)on of Necessity is the right of way in fee for Newell Drive (“Right of Way”). A Resolu)on of Necessity was adopted January 7, 2022 for the Vine Trail Easement and associated TCE.

The Resolu)on thus reflects the Right of Way in fee for Newell Drive, needed for the 20 implementa)on so the Project can proceed on a )mely basis, providing for needed permanent access, facilitation of emergency access, drainage and overall Project grading, and site stability.

The City is authorized to acquire the Right of Way by eminent domain for the public use set forth herein in accordance with the California Cons)tu)on, Ar)cle 1, Sec)on 19; the California Eminent Domain Law, Code of Civil Procedure Sec)on 1230.010 et seq., including, but not limited to, sec)ons 1240.010 through 1240.050 inclusive, and sec)ons 1240.110, 1240.120, 1240.220, 1240.320, 1240.330, 1240.350, 1240.410, 1240.510, 1240.610, 1240.650; Government Code Sec)on 38730, and other provisions of law.

The larger parcel associated with the property to be acquired is located with the City of American Canyon, in Napa County, state of CA and bears the Assessor Parcel Number 059-030-007. The Right of Way sought to be acquired is as follows:

A 69,567 square foot right of way fee interest for roads and public use, together with any and all appurtenances pertaining thereto, over, above, on, under, in, across, along and through the certain real property sought to be acquired.

Acquisition of the property by eminent domain requires the following steps:

1. Appraisal

2. +3 days Government Code Offer Le@er (Already Accomplished) The offer is a@ached as Attachment 3.

3. +14 days: No)ce of Resolu)on of Necessity (Already Accomplished and a@ached as A@achment 4)

4. +15 days: Hearing on Resolution of Necessity (February 1)

5. +7-14 days: Complaint, Deposit of Probable Just Compensa)on, Mo)on for Prejudgment Possession (Previous Complaint will be amended)

6. +60-90 days: Hearing on Mo)on for Prejudgment Possession (60 days if property is unoccupied; 90 days if property is occupied)

7. +10-30 days: Possession (10 days aLer service of order if property is unoccupied; 30 days aLer service of order if property is occupied), if Motion for 8. Prejudgment Possession is granted.

As noted, the Council considera)on of the proposed Resolu)on of Necessity is the fourth step in the eminent domain process.

CURRENT STATUS
Nego)a)ons are con)nuing with the Property Owners, and the City remains op)mis)c that an agreement may be reached prior to completion of the eminent domain proceedings.

City outside Condemna)on Council filed a Condemna)on Complaint for acquisi)on of the Vine Trial and associated TCE authorized by the Council adop)on of the earlier Resolu)on of Necessity on January 7, 2022. It is an)cipated that the Condemna)on Complaint would be amended to include 21 the Resolution of Necessity before the Council if approved.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project has been reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) through the Final Environmental Impact Report (“Final EIR”) for the Watson Ranch Specific Plan Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2015022030) certified by the City October 16, 2018. The Final EIR anticipated and analyzed the Right of Way to be acquired. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Sec)on 15162, no further environmental review is necessary because there are no changes in the project, changes in project circumstances or new informa)on which would result in significantly increased or new environmental impacts, or changes in the feasibility of project alternatives or mitigation measures.

Re: Offer Pursuant to Government Code Section 7267.2 to Acquire Portions of APN 059-030-007, 009 Within the City of American Canyon
Dear Mr. Wenter and Mr. Bowles:

Per your direction, this offer Pursuant to Government Code section 7267.2 is being provided to you as the legal representatives of Pamela Smith, Bernice Robertson, Frank Klobas, Jack Newell Jr., John Newell, Robin Newell, Walter A. Newell, Brittney A. Newell, Anita O’Brian, and/or Judy Ann Newell (collectively “Owners”) in their capacity as part owners and/or trustees of trusts with partial interests in real property identified as Assessor Parcel Numbers (“APNs”) 059-030-007, 009 within the City of American Canyon (“City”).

The City is offering to purchase a portion the Owners’ property pursuant to California Government Code section 7267.2. As discussed further herein, the purpose of this letter is to transmit a formal offer to purchase real property interests from Owners.

The City proposes to acquire a portion of Owners’ property located within the City commonly known as APNs 059-030-007, 009. Specifically, the City proposes to acquire a right of way easement of approximately 68,000 square feet, a trail easement of approximately 50,600 square feet, and temporary construction easement of approximately 266,000 square feet (collectively the “Easements”) on Owners’ property in order to facilitate the construction of the 30 Bryan Wenter, Esq.

Richard Bowles, Esq.

December 10, 2021

Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project, which will include the northern extension of Newell Drive and the construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail (“Project”).

The City would prefer to resolve this matter by negotiated purchase. Government Code Section 7267.2 requires the City to make Owners’ an offer which represents the appraised fair market value of the property necessary for the Project. The City offers the sum of one hundred and seven thousand dollars ($107,000.00) for the Easements, as described and depicted in Exhibit A, attached and incorporated by this reference. The Appraisal, attached and incorporated by this reference as Exhibit B, provides the basis for the value of the Easements. As provided in Government Code section 7267.2, the offer is conditioned upon the City Council of the City of American Canyon’s ratification of the offer by either execution of a contract of acquisition or adoption of a Resolution of Necessity.

The amount of the offer is predicated on the assumption that there exists no hazardous substance, product, waste, or other material of any nature that could impact the construction of the Project or use of the Easements. Furthermore, please be advised that the amount offered is subject to an environmental site inspection, and the cost to remediate any identified problems that may affect the valuation of the Easements.

Further, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.025(a), the City will pay the reasonable costs, not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), of an independent appraisal of the proposed acquisition, ordered by the Owners. To be eligible for reimbursement, the independent appraisal must be conducted by an appraiser licensed by the State Office of Real Estate Appraisers. In addition, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1263.615, the City is unable to offer Owners continued use of the property after acquisition because the City will begin the Project within two years of the acquisition. Finally, attached and incorporated by this reference as Exhibit C is an informational pamphlet describing the eminent domain process and Owners rights under the Eminent Domain Law.

As indicated, the City would like to resolve this matter with the Owners by agreement, as the City believes that a negotiated purchase best serves everyone’s interests. If the Owners are not satisfied with the City’s offer, please present the City any material believed to be relevant to the value of the described easements. These materials will be carefully considered by the City, and if, in the City’s opinion, the additional information warrants a change in the offer, the City’s offer will be adjusted accordingly.

Please note that because the City needs to move the Project forward, the City will be taking the necessary procedural steps to acquire the Easement through eminent domain in the event that we are unable to come to terms on a negotiated purchase. Soon you may receive a notice of intention of the City Council to consider the adoption of a resolution of necessity at a publicly noticed City Council meeting. However, this is merely the next procedural step in the 31 Bryan Wenter, Esq.

Richard Bowles, Esq.

process, and the City is not foreclosing continued negotiations by sending such notice or pursuing eminent domain.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Very truly yours,

RE: Appraisal of: Watson Ranch
NEQ of Newell Drive and Donaldson Way
American Canyon, Napa County, California
CBRE, Inc. File No. 21-361RW-0340-1

Dear Mr. Ross:

At your request and authorization, CBRE, Inc. has prepared an appraisal of the market value of the referenced property. Our analysis is presented in the following Appraisal Report.

The subject larger parcel is a 56.97-acre (2,481,697 sq. ft.) tract of land comprising two parcels, located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Newell Drive and Donaldson Way in American Canyon, California.

The City of American Canyon intends to acquire a fee acquisition, a vine trail easement, and a temporary construction easement (TCE) in conjunction with the Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project (Phase 1A) in American Canyon, California.

Based on the analysis contained in the following report, the appraiser’s opinion of total compensation is concluded as follows:
40 CONCLUDED MARKET VALUE
Larger Parcel (Land and Affected Improvements) $1,232,610 Land Acquired $57,649
Site Improvements Acquired $0
Part Acquired $57,649
Remainder Before Consideration of Damages $1,174,961
Remainder After Consideration of Damages $1,129,400
Net Damages or Benefits $45,561
Net Cost to Cure $0
Temporary Easements $3,303
Total Fair Market Value $106,513
Total Fair Market Value (rounded) $107,000

SALIENT POINTS
• Based on CA case law, when a city would lawfully have conditioned development of property upon the owner’s dedication of a portion of the property to mitigate the impacts of the development, the fair market value of that portion in a subsequent condemnation action is its value in its undeveloped, agricultural state, rather than in its highest and best developed state. The rationale for this rule is that because the owner could not develop the portion of land subject to dedication, no willing buyer would purchase that portion for more than its undeveloped value, and therefore that is what the acquiring agency should pay. In order for this valuation approach to apply, the dedication requirement must be constitutional (roughly proportional and rationally related to the impacts from the proposed development), and it must be reasonably probable that the condemning agency would actually impose the dedication requirement as a condition of development.

Based on the appraiser’s discussions with the client and the appraiser’s analysis of the applicable fact set, the value of the property rights being sought in this instance will be based on the property’s undeveloped value. The property is valued based on two zones of value: agricultural and rural residential.

The report, in its entirety, including all assumptions and limiting conditions, is an integral part of, and inseparable from, this letter. The following appraisal sets forth the most pertinent data gathered, the techniques employed, and the reasoning leading to the opinion of value. The analyses, opinions and conclusions were developed based on, and this report has been prepared in conformance with, the guidelines and recommendations set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and the requirements of the Code of Professional Ethics and Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Institute.

The appraisal problem, as applied to the subject, is to determine the property’s fair market value which is defined as: A) “Fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to 41 buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available.” B) The fair market value of a property taken for which there is no relevant market is its value on the date of valuation as determined by any method of valuation that is just and equitable. (California Code, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP § 1263.320) The intended use and user of our report are specifically identified in our report as agreed upon in my contract for services and/or reliance language retained in the appraiser’s work file. As a condition to being granted the status of an intended user, any intended user who has not entered into a written agreement with CBRE in connection with its use of our report agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the agreement between CBRE and the client who ordered the report.

No other use or user of the report is permitted by any other party for any other purpose.

Dissemination of this report by any party to any non-intended users does not extend reliance to any such party, and CBRE will not be responsible for any unauthorized use of or reliance upon the report, its conclusions or contents (or any portion thereof).

The report is not the appraisal but is the reporting of the appraisal to the named client or named intended user. Anyone else who attempts to rely on an appraisal report that is not a named user may be misled by the report. If you are not the client, you have no way of knowing if a later appraisal was done that replaces this report. Any changes will result in a different report date.

Accordingly, this document may no longer contain the appraisers’ opinions. Any subsequent reports, with a later report date, voids this document even to the client or intended user.

It has been a pleasure to assist you in this assignment. If you have any questions concerning the analysis, or if CBRE can be of further service, please contact us.

46 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Executive Summary 5 COVID-19 EFFECTS ON THE MARKET
As of the date of value and the date of this report, the nation, region, and market area are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This could have a prolonged effect on macroeconomic conditions, though at this time the length of duration is unknown. However, presumably, forward looking economic conditions appear to be positive now that a vaccine has been developed and is being distributed nationally. The perceived impact on real estate varies on several factors including asset class, use, tenancy, and location. Our analysis considers available information as of the effective date. The local impact on the subject market is further discussed in the Market Analysis section of this report.

Extraordinary Assumptions and Hypothetical Conditions
An extraordinary assumption is defined as “an assignment-specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.” 1
A hypothetical condition is defined as “a condition, directly related to a specific assignment, which is contrary to what is known by the appraiser to exist on the effective date of the assignment results, but is used for the purposes of analysis.” 2 The use of these assumptions and conditions may affect the assignment results. Should any assumptions or conditions be found to be false the opinion or conclusions contained in this report could be altered.

47 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Executive Summary 6 SPECIAL ASSUMPTIONS
• We have relied on public records and exhibits provided by the client for the land area size utilized in this assignment and we assume this information to be correct. • The contractor shall provide a reasonable means for property owner adjacent to construction to access properties at all times. A minimum of one driveway shall remain open during project construction. Additionally, the contractor shall coordinate any driveway closures with the property owners before removing access. Vehicle and pedestrian access to driveways and commercial businesses along the streets and easements within the project shall be maintained during construction.
• CBRE, Inc. is not qualified to detect the existence of potentially hazardous material or underground storage tanks which may be present on or near the site. The existence of hazardous materials or underground storage tanks may affect the value of the property. For this appraisal, CBRE, Inc. has specifically assumed that the property is not affected by any hazardous materials that may be present on or near the property. The use of this assumption may affect the assignment results.
• A soils analysis for the site has not been provided for the preparation of this appraisal. In the absence of a soils report, it is a specific assumption that the site has adequate soils to support the highest and best use.
• It is assumed that any underground improvements or other improvements which are not visible to the appraiser will not be impacted by the project. Any impact to such improvements will require modification of this analysis or separate agreement between the property owner and the client. • The valuation of subsurface mineral rights is outside the scope of this assignment. CBRE is aware that some properties in the area may benefit from the sub-surface mineral commodities located in the area which potentially contain resources which, if extracted, could contribute to the value of the property. We suggest the client contact an appropriate geological professional to determine the possible benefits, if any, of the subject’s subsurface rights. The value conclusion(s) presented in this report, specifically exclude any subsurface mineral rights. The assumption is made that the comparable sales utilized in this report excluded mineral rights and/or value attributed to mineral rights, unless otherwise stated in the Discussion/Analysis of Sales section(s). • The value of the remainder after the acquisition is subject to the Hypothetical Condition that, as of the effective date of appraisal, the proposed project has been constructed according to the specifications provided by the client.
• In the appraisal of property for eminent domain, numerous court cases, have established that project influence (both positive and negative) should be disregarded in the value of the property before the acquisition. Therefore, the appraiser has excluded consideration of any effect the project may have on the property. This requires the appraiser to analyze the property based on a condition that is contrary to what currently exists but is accepted appraisal practice.

EXTRAORDINARY ASSUMPTIONS: uncertain information; could alter conclusions HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONS: contrary to what is known but used for purpose of analysis 48 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Scope of Work 7 OWNERSHIP

50 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Scope of Work 9 INTEREST APPRAISED

INTERESTS APPRAISED
Fee Simple Estate
Absolute ownership unencumbered by any other interest or estate, subject only to the limitations imposed by the governmental powers of taxation, eminent domain, police power and escheat. Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, 2015, page 90
Easement The right to use another’s land for a stated purpose. Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, 2015, page 71
Temporary Easement
An easement granted for a specific purpose and applicable for a specific time period. A construction easement, for example, is terminated after the construction of the improvement and the unencumbered fee interest in the land reverts to the owner. Dictionary of Real Estate Appraisal, Sixth Edition, 2015, page 231 The interest appraised includes the value of the rights to the fee owner, considering existing easements, encumbrances, and restrictions. The value of any mineral estate is excluded from this valuation, unless otherwise stated.

Extent to Which the Property is Identified
The property is identified through the following sources:
• postal address
• assessor’s records
• legal description
Identification of the Larger Parcel
The value of a property cannot be estimated without a determination of the property to be appraised. In some cases, multiple tax parcels are utilized together in one use or a larger tract of land may be legally, economically and physically divisible into smaller economic units. The three tests to determine the “larger parcel” to be valued in an appraisal are:
• Unity of Title - control by a single entity, individual, or group. Title is largely a legal question. • Unity of Use - an integrated highest and best use separate from surrounding land. Multiple tracts can have the same use but be separate tracts, such as platted lots. Use is an economic question that is dependent upon supply and demand, availability of substitutes and other economic principles.
• Proximity - contiguous tracts or proximate tracts that are used together. Subordinate to Unity of Use.

In this case, the larger parcel identified for valuation purposes of this assignment is 56.97 acres of land (APNs: 059-030-007, 009 – 56.94 and 0.03 acres respectively. The property owner also holds title to the easterly adjacent property. Based on market considerations, it is maximally productive to sell the properties separately. As such, this parcel has not been included in the larger parcel. The larger parcel (APNs: 059-030-007, 009) includes 56.97 acres. 51 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Scope of Work 10 SUBJECT AERIAL VIEW

MACROECONOMIC IMPACT OF COVID-19
As of the current date of value and the date of this report, the nation, region, and market area continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In this section we provide a brief overview of the observed and anticipated impacts of COVID-19 from a macroeconomic perspective based on various CBRE sources.

In this section, we briefly present the “House View” developed by CBRE Econometric Advisors (CBRE-EA) including recent trends in the pandemic and its continued impact on the economy. The following chart illustrates GDP and acitivty:

COVID-19 testing continued to increase in the US through January and there was a notable decline in the rate of positive cases. We are also seeing a decrease in hospitalization and deaths per day, following increased numbers over Q4 2020. While COVID-related metrics are trending in a positive direction more recently, the slower than anticipated roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine, along with the arrival of new virus variants, has the potential to dampen economic recovery 1H 2021. Based upon the pace of vaccination, it is unlikely that the US will see a much anticipated “return to normalcy” until the second half of 2021.

Despite the slowed recovery noted in late 2020, economic indicators into the first quarter of 2021 point toward continued economic expansion. CBRE anticipates strong recovery into the 3rd 63 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 22 quarter of 2021, slowing to a more normal rate at the end of 2021 into 2022, as illustrated below.

A full recovery is dependent on when the US returns to a sense of normalcy. While there has been a gradual easing of restrictions, many across the US continue under work-from-home conditions and many schools remain under remote learning. In addition, social distancing and restrictions on large gatherings continue throughout the US. While a surge in cases during the second half of 2020 delayed reopening progress, many states have been relaxing restrictions and are experiencing various levels of reopening of businesses, schools, offices, and restaurants. The pandemic has impacted the hospitality, travel, and retail industries most heavily since its outset in March 2020. The late 2020 resurgence of the virus coupled with more limited outdoor dining due to winter weather has further delayed recovery of jobs within these sectors.

KEY TAKEAWAYS, OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The following points summarize key points from CBRE-EA and CBRE’s Americas Research:
• The impact from COVID-19 has continued to persist. Initial macroeconomic projections for stabilization late 2020 have been prolonged due to the rise in cases following initial reopening efforts in Q2 2020 (paused growth and rise in cases late 2020) as well as the emergence of new variant strains of the virus and slow vaccination rollout. • Unemployment has continued to improve from its April 2020 highs, however, the gap between current and pre-pandemic levels remains. January 2021 unemployment figures marked a return to gains after a one-month lull in December that saw the first negative number since the recovery began in May.
64 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 23 • Fiscal and monetary supply for the economy have been unprecedented and, together with pent-up demand, are expected to enable a relatively sustained return to normalcy once health-oriented concerns are alleviated.
• The Fed’s role in stabilizing the U.S. economy has been immense, including purchases of corporate debt at levels not seen in the Great Financial Crisis. The Fed’s balance sheet has jumped to over $7.4 trillion in early February 2021, up from just over $4 trillion at the beginning of 2020.
• The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 have provided trillions in economic assistance to American workers, families, and businesses. • Consumer confidence metrics are strong in early 2021, particularly in manufacturing. • Mortgage rates continue to be at historic lows and house prices continue to surge in US despite the pandemic.
• Values on commercial real estate are viewed to be broadly resilient over the coming year, but with significant variation based on sector, location and profile. • Leasing activity across most commercial real estate is anticipated to remain slowed in the first half of 2021 followed by an expectation for increased demand and activity in later 2021 into 2022.
• Commercial real estate debt markets have been evolving rapidly and dramatically since the COVID crisis. Loan spreads then narrowed significantly. Now, deal terms are sector and property-specific. Top end core properties can see historically low terms whereas value-add and riskier deals are seeing widened spreads and higher overall rates.

Adequate capital still exists from banks, life companies and the GSEs, while the CMBS market remains in recovery mode and debt funds vary depending on their capital sources. • There will be short term disruptions, depending on sector and asset type that may include rent collections, abatement/relief negotiations, near-term vacancies, muted rent growth, and prolonged lease-up.
• Most property types are impacted, though sectors faring better than others include single family housing, net leased investments, industrial (particularly warehouse/logistics and cold storage), multi-family, data centers, and life sciences. Other sectors continue to display various levels of caution in activity and underwriting. • Sale and lease transaction volume continue to be slow in early 2021as buyers and tenants continue to navigate this period of uncertainty. • The impact and recovery will vary by city and by property type. 65 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 24 Market Analysis – Agricultural

66 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 25 The subject is in Region 2 – North Coast, which comprises the counties of Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma and Trinity. The following are excerpts from the overview for the North Coast and Sonoma County.
“The North Coast (Region 2), runs from San Francisco to the Oregon border, bounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Central Valley. Geographically and economically, the North Coast can be divided into the southern and northern regions. The southern region overlies Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake, and Marin counties, with the key economic drivers for this area being vineyards and wineries, although specialty dairy and poultry production remain active in southern Sonoma and northern Marin counties. The northern region includes Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties, which is less agriculturally diverse, consisting mostly of forest products, specialty dairy, and cattle.

The North Coast’s diversity is attributed to the mild coastal climate, good water resources, and proximity to urban population and wealth (southern portion). Animal husbandry industries (dairy, beef, poultry, and eggs) continue to move to organic or other specialty production, as the higher returns from specialty products are necessary to offset the higher underlying land prices in the region. The region’s mild climate and agricultural atmosphere make it a highly desirable rural residential area, with much of the southern area impacted by strong rural residential demand and strong residential entitlement values.

The vineyard and wine industry are mostly in the south, within California’s North Coast American Viticultural Area (AVA). This AVA extends about 100 miles north from the San Francisco Bay, and about 50 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. The North Coast has been recognized as a prime vineyard and winery area since the mid 1900’s, and includes Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties, plus portions of northern Marin and south-western Solano counties.

The 2020 California Grape Acreage Report, published by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and released in April 2021, reflected a slight year-over-year decrease in wine grape acreage in California from 477,041 to 468,876, with 15,461 acres (3.3%) reported as non-bearing. The North Coast accounts for 28.2% of the State’s wine grape acreage, with total acres decreasing slightly from 132,529 to 132,158 acres over the past year, and only 5,446 acres (4.1%) reported as non-bearing. Napa includes 45,511 acres (34.4%), with Sonoma at 58,874 (44.5%), Mendocino at 17,380 (13.2%), Lake at 10,014 (7.6%), with Marin, Humboldt and Trinity counties at 379 acres (nominal).

It has now been six consecutive years the North Coast has endured destructive wildfires.

Beginning in 2015 with the Valley Fire in Lake County that nearly destroyed the town of Middletown and culminating in what was the most destructive single fire season in California history in 2020. Fires came early and heavy this past year kicking off with a rare summer thunderstorm in mid-August, with the final flames extinguished in midNovember.

Combined, the August Complex, LNU Lighting Complex, and Glass Fires burned a total of nearly 1.5 million acres (not all of which in the defined North Coast region) along with nearly 4,000 structures and roughly 1,500 homes destroyed, and many more damaged.

All of this destruction is on the heels of prior years’ fires that destroyed over 5,700 homes 67 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 26 in 2017 in Sonoma and Napa alone, and 1,349 homes in Lake County in 2015. But unlike the previous fires, the 2020 fires would have a significant impact on the wine grape harvest with many wineries rejecting fruit due to smoke taint concerns and numerous wineries forgoing 2020 vintages altogether. They would also exacerbate an already tight housing market still recovering from housing lost from previous fires.

COVID-19 has impacted nearly every industry in the North Coast restaurants, hotels, tourism, retail services, breweries, wineries, etc. The impact on the wine industry was felt immediately. With the closure of tasting rooms and restaurants, on-premise sales came to a screeching halt. This had the largest impact on boutique and high-end wineries that relied heavily on these channels. Contrarily, wineries with an established distribution network or who had a strong presence in grocery stores saw sales increase. This shift in demand carried forward to the bulk wine market which had been in a state of oversupply.

The inventory of bulk wine suitable for the retail channel was quickly absorbed putting upward pressure on prices, while premium bulk wine lagged behind.

The pandemic has also resulted in a major shift in housing. For many, jobs have moved from office buildings to the home, and city-dwellers have looked to abandon the congested urban areas and relocate to the suburbs. As a result, homes sales in the North Coast, particularly Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties, have surged with a large number of Bay Area residents moving out of the cities and into wine country. Much of this year’s vineyard sales activity is attributed to these lifestyle buyers.

Wine Industry
2021 started with a continuation of 2020’s major, across-the-board concerns with the industry: consumption trends, labor shortages, and oversupply.

Wine consumption habits have been declining brought on by a combination of heightened competition from spirits, craft beer, hard seltzer, and cannabis. In large part, wine had been losing market share and working diligently to attract new, younger wine consumers. A shift in demographics had also been contributing to this trend as aging Boomers are drinking less wine and not being replaced by younger Millennial drinkers who might prefer alternatives, are less brand loyal, or more health-conscious, preferring to drink less or not at all.

Labor continues to be an ongoing challenge in terms of availability and cost. The region’s high cost of living has kept farming costs high despite decreasing demand for fruit.

Furthermore, the fires over the past several years have displaced many in the wine industry and COVID-19 has restricted travel for those who would typically travel in from out of the area to assist with harvest. The trend toward mechanization of cultural and harvest practices continues wherever possible to alleviate the need for manual labor.

Another concern was the oversupplied market, caused by a record 2018 crop followed by an average 2019 crop. The 2019 crop year started with little demand from wineries which became a struggle for many growers who had trouble securing fruit contracts. As a result, much of the fruit would end up selling well below district averages in a lack-luster spot market or remain on the vine. That theme would carry forward into the start of 2020, with another story line being the record supply of bulk wine that wasn’t moving. 68 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 27 As the events of 2020 unfolded, conditions for some improved. The spread of COVID-19 all but halted on-premise sales. Wineries who relied heavily on these channels for sales suffered while those with strong wine clubs and an established distribution channel thrived. Retail demand also helped to move the surplus of low to moderately priced bulk wine as wineries looked to move more product through this channel. It also promoted more grape contracts along this same segment. In the meantime, smaller, boutique wineries without an established retail channel would continue to struggle as would demand for premium bulk wine.

By the end of the 2020 harvest year, the short crop would help to rebalance the bulk wine market and spur demand for fruit by wineries across most market segments. As the 2021 crop year began, growers appeared to have replaced the pessimism of a year ago with measured optimism. However, it is worth noting, and not lost on North Coast wineries, that the fundamental issues of decreasing consumption trends and lost market share to competing beverages has not gone away. This, along with labor challenges will continue to be obstacles for years to come.

Cannabis Industry
Cannabis cultivation for recreational use was legalized in California in 2016 but is still classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the Federal Government. This conflict of legalities that include financing options, along with highly re-strictive local permitting requirements, has slowed its production in the North Coast. Relatively few legal outdoor commercials grows exist in the south part of the North Coast. In the northern areas such as Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity counties, production of cannabis is more prevalent and may compete with alternative crops as a highest and best use. Hemp, on the other hand, was legalized in 2018 by the Farm Bill at the federal level. However, it remains a fledgling enterprise with few areas in production. In all likelihood, hemp and recreational cannabis will not be a substitute for the premium wines of the North Coast. However, it may prove to be a substitute for other lower value agricultural uses going forward.

Napa County
Napa remains at the top of the premium wine market and is synonymous with world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine, wine grapes, and tourism are the primary economic drivers for Napa with no other agricultural uses of note. There are roughly 45,000 planted vineyard acres in Napa County. The valley floor is essentially planted out. Hillside development, while attractive to most wineries for the unique flavor profiles the resulting wine can offer, is highly restricted by the county. Over the past twenty years, increasing environmental regulations, urbanization, and governmental regulations have limited the ability to expand vineyard development in the county. Tough erosion control, view-shed, and stream setback ordinances coupled with growing resistance from neighbors, voters, and environmental groups are making new vineyard development time-consuming, expensive, and highly speculative. A key factor that has helped Napa maintain its high vineyard and plantable land values over the past ten years is that the county is effectively planted out, with nominal land available for vineyard expansion.

While Napa produces a wide range of high-quality wines, it is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux style red wines, which command the highest wine and winegrape prices in the state. As bottle pricing for Cabernet Sauvignon increased, so did grape prices. According to the California Grape Crush Report, the District 4 (which covers 69 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 28 Napa County) average price-per-ton for Cabernet Sauvignon grew by 77%, from $4,480 in 2010 to $7,941 per ton in 2019. At the same time, alternative red varieties such as Merlot, Syrah and Zinfandel are all priced in the low-$4,000 range, while white varieties like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are $3,032 and $2,485 respectively.

The impact of this trend on land values followed suit. Land well suited for Cabernet Sauvignon showed significant increases, and soon land that had been viewed as less than ideal for this varietal was being replanted or grafted over to Cabernet. As a result, total Cabernet Sauvignon tonnage reached a record high in 2018 with 89,097 tons, followed by a 2019 harvest of 78,146 tons (which may have been artificially shortened by unsold fruit). As a comparison, 2014 through 2017 were all under 70,000 tons with 2015 being a short crop of only 53,195 tons.

The record 2018 harvest proved to be problematic for many grape growers as oversupply concerns reverberated throughout the Napa Valley in 2019. For highly coveted vineyards in the Prime areas, it was business as usual; however, in Secondary or Outlying areas demand was lackluster, pricing dipped, and some fruit was left on the vines.

In 2020, COVID-19 would force the closure of tasting rooms and restau-rants, altering consumption trends of consumers, but the wildfires would create the largest disruption.

Napa Valley was particularly impacted by the LNU Lightning Complex fire and later by the Glass Fire which would cast a cloud of smoke over the county for nearly three months.

Grape growers filed insurance claims for fears of smoke-tainted fruit. The smoke had the biggest impact on Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals, which ripen later in the season. Most white varietals had already been harvested. The labs charged with testing fruit samples had backlogs extending beyond 30 days, compounding decisions to harvest fruit.

The residential component of vineyard properties in Napa has always been a significant contributing factor to overall property value, given the desirability of the area and proximity to Bay Area employment centers. Generally speaking, the residential market is strong, but not so much for vacant homesites. Recent wildfires have contributed to reducing the housing stock as demand remained strong. The so-called lifestyle buyer is not new to Napa, but 2020 provided a new demand driver with COVID-19 motivating many urban dwellers to seek rural properties as linkages between the home and office waned. However, these buyers exhibit a strong preference toward turn-key, move-in ready homes as opposed to ground-up or reconstruction. Construction costs are still sky-high, and builders continue to have deep backlogs with fire rebuilds. As a result, there is actually little demand for bare homesites.

Winery activity was sluggish in 2020. Wineries generally follow suit with vineyard demand in terms of market tiers, with Primary Market locations in heaviest demand and Secondary and Outlying Markets being somewhat limited. Good location, strong brands, and robust permits with public tastings and events still command big premiums. Although wineries have been forced to close for much of the year, neighbor opposition to new winery permits is still strong. The cost, risk and time of seeking a permit has created significant value to existing entitlements which transfer with the land. Like residential properties, turnkey wineries are also preferred due to high construction costs, although every new acquisition generally includes a new owner applying their personal touches. This year’s acquisitions in Secondary and Outlying Markets were generally hotly negotiated. On 70 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 29 multiple occasions price reductions during escrow were conceded by the seller for reasons ranging from oversupply concerns, COVID-19 and the wildfires.

In conclusion, growers who had crop insurance may feel as though they dodged a bullet in 2020 and can likely look forward to improved demand for fruit in 2021. Whether this translates into increased acquisitions remains to be seen. However, there remains underlying and fundamental concerns in the wine industry that will continue to impact the region. Changing demographics, declining consumption, and competition with alcohol alternatives have the industry competing for market share in a space that appears to be slowing. That said, Napa continues to be recognized as the top wine region in California.

Strong demand and high prices for Napa’s top tier properties, capable of producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux style wines, should continue. Secondary and Outlying properties are more vulnerable to fluctuations in supply or external factors. The industry needs to figure out the supply and demand balance for Cabernet Sauvignon, while maintaining the high reputation of the Napa Valley name, which is synonymous with world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Another industry focus should be how to shift marketing of top-tier wines from this region from the aging Boomer generation to Millennials.” The following chart indicates land and lease values for North Coast Counties. 71 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 30 The following are historical value ranges per acre for the area:

The data presented above indicates that land values for quality land with good water sources have remained stable; this contrasts with the lower end of the range where values have been decreasing for properties that primarily rely on well water.

CONCLUSION
Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of the state and in the economies of counties in the North Coast. Napa prime vineyard land has remained relatively unchanged since 2019 with a range of $300,000 to $450,000 per acre. Secondary vineyard land had values ranging from $165,000 to $375,000 per acre in 2020, with the high end seeing a decrease from $400,000 in 2019. Prime plantable land ranged from $200,000 to $275,000 per acre and has remained unchanged since 2019. Secondary plantable land ranged from $165,000 to $245,000 per acre.

Napa County homesites exhibit a wide range from $300,000 to $3,000,000 per acre for secondary, and $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 per acre for primary.

The subject is located in a tertiary agricultural market given the cooler temperatures and climate.

It is valued accordingly.

TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE
The subject property has generally level topography. Overall drainage in the agricultural/vineyard area appears to be adequate. This appraisal assumes that no drainage problems exist.

PLANTABLE AND UNPLANTABLE AREA SUMMARY
Based on aerial imagery/measurements, we have estimated that approximately 25.2 acres of the property represents the “plantable” land component of the property which includes Class 2 soils.

This plantable portion consists of two non-contiguous areas (the southern portion of the larger parcel and the northwestern corner of the larger parcel).

The balance of the property, approximately 31.77 acres located in the middle of the larger parcel, represents areas with Class 3 and Class 4 soils with slopes unsuitable for planting. This portion of land is best suited for rural residential development.

Therefore, given the physical characteristics of the larger parcel, the valuation contained in this appraisal will provide two “zones of value” for the larger parcel, one for the 25.2 acres of vineyard adaptable land and another for the 31.77 acres of land with rural residential appeal for a homesite.
74 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 33 SOILS
The following soils map, provided by the USDA Soil Survey service, shows the irrigated capability class ratings for the subject property:
75 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 34 The USDA soil survey indicates that approximately 25.2 acres (44%) of the subject property is Class 2, Clear lake clay, with 0 to 2% slopes. This is represented by Number 116 in the map above. Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that require special conservation practices, or both.

About 34% of the property (Number 131 in the map above) is Class 3, Fagan clay loam, with 5 to 15% slopes.

About 17% of the property (Number 148 in the map above) is Class 3, Haire clay loam, with 2 to 9% slopes. Class 3 soils have severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that require special conservation practices, or both.

About 5% of the property (Number 132 in the map above) is Class 4, Fagan clay loam, with 15 to 30% slopes. Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that require very careful management, or both.

Overall, the portion of the larger parcel with Class 2 soils is marginally suited to a vineyard use, with consideration given to climate and cooler temperatures. The remainder of the property is best suited for rural residential development, a homesite. The subject is located in a cool region that is considered a tertiary market for vineyard land.

FLOOD ZONE
We are not experts in determining flood zone elevations and we were not provided with a flood zone certificate for the subject. The reader is encouraged to consult with a professional engineer to determine the subject's actual flood zone status. Based on our review of FEMA Flood Panel No. 06055C-0650E, dated September 26, 2008, the property lies within Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. Flood insurance is not required.

EASEMENTS AND ENCROACHMENTS
We were not provided a preliminary title report. For purposes of analysis, it is assumed that no easements/encroachments exist.

COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
There are no known covenants, conditions or restrictions impacting the site that are considered to affect the marketability or highest and best use.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES - SITE
CBRE, Inc. is not qualified to detect the existence of any potentially hazardous materials such as lead paint, asbestos, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, or other potentially hazardous construction materials on or in the improvements. The existence of such substances may affect the value of the property. No hazardous substances which would affect value were noted by the appraiser (see Assumptions and Limiting Conditions).
76 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 35 CONCLUSION
The subject property is a 56.97-acre property that has an adequate size, shape, topography and other physical characteristics that support any legally permissible use. As noted, based on measurements from aerial imagery, we estimate that approximately 25.2 acres represent plantable land for agricultural use and the balance of the property (31.77 acres) represents nonplantable land with rural residential homesite appeal. 77 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Site Analysis 36 PLAT MAP

Analysis and Conclusion
According to the City of American Canyon zoning map, the subject is located within the Special Study (SS) zone. Based on further research, the subject is located within the Watson Ranch Specific Plan (WRSP), as shown on the previous page.

The WRSP is located within the city limits of American Canyon, in Napa County, California.

According to information provided by the client, the Specific Plan Area consists of 309 acres and is an important part of the City’s General Plan. The WRSP will consist of a mixed-use town center (including a 200-room boutique hotel and a community center), approximately 1,253 residential units, an elementary school, parks/open space, and various infrastructure improvements.

The subject property has multiple zoning designations in accordance with the Watson Ranch Specific Plan. The majority of the larger parcel falls within the Medium Density Residential zone, with a small portion on the southern end zoned for High Density Residential. The remainder of the property is designated for open space/park areas.

As previously discussed, given the dedication is reasonably foreseeable, the property is being valued based on its undeveloped value. In this case, agricultural and homesite uses. 82 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Zoning
41 Tax and Assessment Data
In California, privately held real property is typically assessed at 100% of full cash value (which is interpreted to mean market value of the fee simple estate) as determined by the County Assessor.

Generally, a reassessment occurs only when a property is sold (or transferred) or when new construction occurs (as differentiated from replacing existing construction). In the case of longterm ground leases, the general rule is that a reassessment is made at the time of assigning or terminating a lease where the remaining term is more than 35 years. For reassessment purposes, the lease term includes all options to extend. Assessments for properties that were acquired before the tax year 1975-1976 were stabilized as of the tax year 1975-1976. Property taxes are limited by state law to 1% of the assessed value plus voter-approved obligations and special assessments. If no sale (or transfer) occurs or no new building takes place, assessments may not increase by more than 2% annually. The following table summarizes the local assessor’s estimate of the subject’s market value, assessed value, and taxes, and does not include any furniture, fixtures or equipment.

CONCLUSION
For purposes of this analysis, CBRE, Inc. assumes that all taxes are current. If the subject sold for the value estimate in this report, a reassessment at that value would most likely occur, with tax increases limited to two percent annually thereafter until the property is sold again. The consequences of this reassessment have been considered in the appropriate valuation sections. 83 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Highest and Best Use 42 Highest and Best Use
In appraisal practice, the concept of highest and best use represents the premise upon which value is based. The four criteria the highest and best use must meet are:
• legally permissible;
• physically possible;
• financially feasible; and
• maximally productive.

The highest and best use analysis of the subject is discussed below.

AS VACANT
Legal Permissibility
Based on CA case law, when a city would lawfully have conditioned development of property upon the owner’s dedication of a portion of the property to mitigate the impacts of the development, the fair market value of that portion in a subsequent condemnation action is its value in its undeveloped, agricultural state, rather than in its highest and best developed state.

The rationale for this rule is that because the owner could not develop the portion of land subject to dedication, no willing buyer would purchase that portion for more than its undeveloped value, and therefore that is what the acquiring agency should pay. In order for this valuation approach to apply, the dedication requirement must be constitutional (roughly proportional and rationally related to the impacts from the proposed development), and it must be reasonably probable that the condemning agency would actually impose the dedication requirement as a condition of development.

Based on the appraiser’s discussions with the client and the appraiser’s analysis of the applicable fact set, the value of the property rights being sought in this instance will be based on the property’s undeveloped value. The property is valued based on two zones of value: agricultural and rural residential.

Physical Possibility
The site is adequately served by utilities and has an adequate shape and size, and access, etc., for residential development. As stated previously, approximately 44% of the property contains sufficient soils for agricultural uses. The site is well-located and afforded good access and visibility from the roadway frontage. Development of agricultural and rural residential uses is physically possible.

Financial Feasibility
Consideration to existing land use trends has been given in determining feasible uses. Only those uses that are physically possible and legally permissible are given further consideration. Based on our analysis of the market and area, there is sufficient demand for a homesite. 84 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Highest and Best Use 43 Though the property’s southern location and corresponding cooler climate is considered a tertiary market for an agricultural use, this use is nevertheless financially feasible based on an analysis of market demand. Therefore, agricultural and rural residential uses are financially feasible.

Maximum Productivity - Conclusion
The final test of highest and best use of the site, as if vacant, is that the use be maximally productive, yielding the highest return to the land. Based on the foregoing and upon information contained in the market, area and neighborhood analysis, we conclude that the highest and best use of the subject as if vacant would be for an agricultural use for the portion that includes Class 2 soils and a rural residential homesite use for the remainder of the larger parcel. This type of use is relatively common in this region.

Highest and Best Use of the Remainder
The remainder will consist of 23.86 acres of agricultural land and 31.54 acres of rural residential land. A portion of the homesite will be encumbered by the vine trail easement and a portion of the agricultural land area will be encumbered by the vine trail easement. Though the highest and best use of the remainder land areas is unchanged, the homesite remainder has slightly reduced appeal in the after condition given the presence of the roundabout and the vine trail easement. 85 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Valuation Analysis – Whole Property 44 Appraisal Methodology
In appraisal practice, an approach to value is included or omitted based on its applicability to the property type being valued and the quality and quantity of information available.

Cost Approach
The cost approach is based on the proposition that the informed purchaser would pay no more for the subject than the cost to produce a substitute property with equivalent utility. This approach is particularly applicable when the property being appraised involves relatively new improvements that represent the highest and best use of the land, or when it is improved with relatively unique or specialized improvements for which there exist few sales or leases of comparable properties.

Sales Comparison Approach
The sales comparison approach utilizes sales of comparable properties, adjusted for differences, to indicate a value for the subject. Valuation is typically accomplished using physical units of comparison such as price per square foot, price per unit, price per floor, etc., or economic units of comparison such as gross rent multiplier. Adjustments are applied to the physical units of comparison derived from the comparable sale. The unit of comparison chosen for the subject is then used to yield a total value. Economic units of comparison are not adjusted, but rather analyzed as to relevant differences, with the final estimate derived based on the general comparisons.

Income Capitalization Approach
The income capitalization approach reflects the subject’s income-producing capabilities. This approach is based on the assumption that value is created by the expectation of benefits to be derived in the future. Specifically estimated is the amount an investor would be willing to pay to receive an income stream plus reversion value from a property over a period of time. The two common valuation techniques associated with the income capitalization approach are direct capitalization and the discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis.

Methodology Applicable to the Subject
• CBRE, Inc. analyzed the data gathered through the use of appropriate and accepted appraisal methodology to arrive at a probable value indication via each applicable approach to value. The sales comparison approach for land is utilized to develop an opinion of land value because market participants rely on this method. The subject is valued as vacant land so the cost approach is not applicable. The subject is valued as vacant land and so the sales comparison approach for improved property is not applicable. Being valued as vacant land, the income approach for improved property is not applicable. Furthermore, surface rights in this area are not purchased based on income production. Fair Market Value is estimated as the value of the partial acquisition, plus damages to the remainder (which may be offset by benefits). 86 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Valuation Analysis – Whole Property 45 • The 'summation method' for valuation of a partial acquisition is utilized, as is required in the State of California. Total compensation is estimated as the value of the partial acquisition, plus damages to the remainder (which may be offset by special benefits), plus any necessary costs to cure and temporary easements if they are part of the scope of the assignment. • We searched for comparable sales and listings utilizing Costar™, the regional MLS, and the CBRE proprietary database. We also conducted interviews with land brokers familiar with the local economy and market area.

Based on market considerations, the appropriate unit of comparison for the subject's land is price per acre. As noted previously, there are zones of value (agricultural and residential homesite). 87 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 46 Land Value - Residential

Property Rights Conveyed
This adjustment considers the difference in legal estate (interest) conveyed in a given sales transaction. The interest transferred can reflect a variety of rights that may affect the value of a property. The interest transferred can be defined in many ways, ranging from fee simple estates to leasehold estates. Fee simple estates are the highest form of ownership.

The subject site is valued based on its fee simple interest. All of the comparable sales include similar fee simple sales and therefore a property rights adjustment is not warranted.

Conditions of Sale/Financing
All sales were indicated to be cash-to-seller transactions or financed by a third party at market terms. According to the listing broker, Sale 1 was part of a 1031-exchange for the buyer.

However, the sellers accepted the offer and no adjustment is warranted. 90 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 49 All comparable sales reflected arm’s length transactions and no adjustments for conditions of sale were warranted.

Market Conditions
The comparable land sales transacted from March 2021 to August 2021. Based upon our conversations with local real estate agents, and our observations of local sales, the residential lot market has been stable to slightly improving in recent years. However, as the coronavirus vaccine has been more widely distributed and as restrictions are lifted, pent up demand for a limited number of vacant residential lots will drive prices up until an equilibrium is achieved. Considering this, there is insufficient data to support a quantifiable adjustment to lot pricing, as lot pricing depends on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) rooftop pricing, construction costs for the home, site development costs, etc.

Given this discussion, the comparable sales are concluded generally similar as they occurred in 2021.

Location
Location can have a significant influence on value, especially for industrial sites where industrial synergies and access to linkages are important. Based on an analysis of residential values within a 1-mile radius, Comparable 3 is located in a superior area to the subject. The remaining comparables are located in generally similar areas and do not warrant an adjustment.

Size
Land area differences between properties can affect the prices per square foot due to economies of scale with larger properties. That is, all else being equal, larger sites tend to sell for less per square foot than smaller sites. A similar trend is observed in the comparable sales and therefore a size adjustment is warranted. Comparable 3 includes a generally similar site size and does not warrant an adjustment.

Comparable 2 includes a larger site (inferior), while Comparable 1 includes a slightly larger site (slightly inferior). Comparable 4 includes a slightly smaller site (slightly superior).

Physical Features
The subject includes an irregular site shape. The comparables include typical site shapes with no inefficiencies noted and these sales are concluded slightly superior.

Access/Frontage
The subject has adequate access for a residential site, as is the case for Sales 1-3.

Sale 4 includes poor access and the County would require various street improvements prior to development. Therefore, Sale 4 is concluded inferior.
91 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 50 Zoning / H&BU
A site’s zoning designation generally restricts the legally permissible uses for a specific site, which typically factors into a site’s pricing. The subject and most of the comparable sales include similar zoning designations. Sale 2 includes potential for subdivision, which is concluded slightly superior.

All of the comparables include a similar highest and best use for rural residential development.

Therefore, the comparables do not warrant any adjustments.

Utilities
The subject and all of the comparables are served with utilities, or have utilities available nearby in the street. Therefore, no adjustments are warranted. 92 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 51 Land Value - Agricultural

Conditions of Sale/Financing
All sales were indicated to be cash-to-seller transactions or financed by a third party at market terms. The comparables did not have any special conditions affecting the sale prices, and no adjustments are warranted.
95 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 54 Market Conditions
The comparable land sales transacted from January 2018 to August 2021. Based upon our observations of recent sales, land values have remained stable to slightly improving in recent years.

Given this discussion, Sale 4 is concluded inferior while the comparable sales are concluded generally similar.

Location
Location can have a significant influence on value, especially for industrial sites where industrial synergies and access to linkages are important. The subject is located in American Canyon, just south of Napa.

Sale 1 is located in a less desirable area and is concluded inferior. The remaining comparables are located in areas with superior climates that are more conducive to agricultural production.

Therefore, the remaining comparables are concluded superior.

Size
Land area differences between properties can affect the prices per square foot due to economies of scale with larger properties. That is, all else being equal, larger sites tend to sell for less per square foot than smaller sites. A similar trend is observed in the comparable sales and therefore a size adjustment is warranted. Comparable 1 includes a generally similar site size and does not warrant an adjustment.

Comparable 2 includes a larger site (inferior), while Comparable 3 includes a slightly larger site (slightly inferior). Comparable 4 includes a smaller site (superior).

Physical Features
The subject includes Class 2 soils according to the USDA soil survey. Sale 4 consists of Class 2 soils (similar) and does not warrant an adjustment.

Sale 1 consists primarily of Class 4 soils, with the balance of the property consisting of Class 8 soils and water. Therefore, Sale 1 is concluded inferior to the subject.

Sale 2 consists of vineyard land with an existing lease on site. Based on our research, the soils are more conducive for agricultural production and Sale 2 is concluded superior.

Sale 3 consists of agricultural land; however, the USDA does not have available soil data for this property. The physical features are concluded generally similar to the subject.

Access/Frontage
The subject and all of the comparables have adequate site access. Therefore, no adjustments are warranted.
96 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Reconciliation – Whole Property Before Acquisition 55 Zoning / H&BU
A site’s zoning designation generally restricts the legally permissible uses for a specific site, which typically factors into a site’s pricing.

Sale 1 includes MP (Marsh Protection) zoning, which limits the property’s potential uses (inferior).

The remaining comparables include generally similar zoning designations to the subject with a similar highest and best use (agricultural). Therefore, no other adjustments are warranted.

Utilities
The subject and all of the companies are served with utilities, or have utilities available nearby in the street. Therefore, no adjustments are warranted.

LAND VALUE CONCLUSION
Based on the cooler climate in the subject area, the subject location is considered a tertiary market for vineyard land. As such, a value per acre of $30,000 is appropriate for the vineyard adaptable land.

As for the rural residential homesite, given the overall sale prices and the price per acre analysis, we have concluded a value of $15,000 per acre which is approximately $475,000 for the homesite.

The following table presents the valuation conclusion:

CONCLUDED LAND VALUE
Land Type $ Per Acre Size (AC) Total
Vineyard Adaptable $30,000 x 25.202 = $756,060
Rural Residential $15,000 x 31.77 = $476,550

97 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Part to be Acquired 56 Part to be Acquired
The City of American Canyon proposes to two fee acquisitions for right of way, a vine trail easement, and two temporary construction easements, in conjunction with the Watson Ranch Specific Plan and the Napa Valley Vine Trail. The acquisitions are required to facilitate the northern extension of Newell Drive and the construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail.

The Napa Valley Vine Trail (Vine Trail) is a planned 47-mile, Class 1 pedestrian and bicycle trail that would run north to south through Napa County, ultimately providing a continuous connection from Calistoga to Vallejo. The trail’s northern gateway provides a connection to the Oat Hill Mine Trail (or State Route 29), at the foot of Mount St. Helena. The Vine Trail would share routes with other major regional trails, including the Bay Area Ridge Trail, the San Francisco Bay Trail, and the Napa River and Bay Trail. Additionally, the Vine Trail would be connected to the greater Bay Area at its southern terminus at the Vallejo ferry. The Vine Trail is currently being constructed in segments as funding becomes available. There is a planned segment of the Vine Trail that would run through the City of American Canyon, running through the Watson Ranch Specific Plan (WRSP) site from the northwest (Watson Lane and the railroad tracks) to the southeast (the proposed connection to the existing Newell Open Space Preserve Trail near Newell Drive).

The proposed acquisition sizes are provided below:
• Right of Way (Northern Acquisition Area) – 6,000 sq. ft. • Right of Way (Southern Acquisition Area) – 62,000 sq. ft. • Vine Trail Easement – 50,600 sq. ft.
• Temporary Construction Easement (North of Rio Del Mar) – 211,000 sq. ft. • Temporary Construction Easement (South of Rio Del Mar) – 55,000 sq. ft. 98 Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Part to be Acquired 57 99
Watson Ranch Backbone Improvement Project Part to be Acquired 58 MARKET VALUE IMPACT
Permanent Vine Trail Easement: According to the client, the Napa Valley Vine Trail is a pedestrian and bicycle trail. Based on the appraiser’s experience with pedestrian and bicycle easements, this area will be a dedicated public facility, which leaves very few rights retained by the property owner.

Easements of this type are typically valued as a percentage of the underlying fee value of the land. The percentage is related to the perceived “bundle” of rights acquired; the rights acquired from the property owner. In other words, the valuation is based upon what the property owner has lost, not what the grantee of the easement has gained. This bundle of rights acquired involves 1) the owner’s loss of the use of the easement area during the construction period, 2) the limits on normal use of the area after project construction is completed and 3) the potential for future disruptions if maintenance or modifications to the embankment are required. Furthermore, there is a vertical division of physical rights associated with real estate, i.e. subsurface, surface, and air.

Easement Valuation Matrix
From our appraisal experience involving other projects with various types of easements and discussions with market participants, easement valuations typically are in the range of 20% for minor impacts to 100% of underlying land value for acquisition of nearly all the land rights, such as permanent road easements or levee/flood control easements. The matrix shown below provides a general description of the potential impacts for various easement types for reference only. The appraiser’s conclusions are based on the specific easement deed language applicable and market considerations.

The remainder after the acquisition involves a separate highest and best use analysis from the whole property. The value of the remainder after the acquisition takes into consideration the physical, legal, and economic characteristics of the site as though the project was complete as of the date of the appraisal (see hypothetical conditions).

REMAINDER AFTER ANALYSIS

Damages to Remainder Damages to the remainder apply
Impact Outside of Project Area Damages to the remainder apply The proposed permanent acquisitions consist of the following land types:

Vine Trail Easement – 17,600 SF of agricultural land & 33,000 SF of rural residential land.

Right of Way Acquisition – 58,000 SF of agricultural land & 10,000 SF of rural residential land Therefore, the remainder property is identified below:
• Agricultural (plantable) land: 23.87 Acres (1,039,799 square feet) o Note that the area encumbered by the vine trail easement (17,600 sq. ft.) is diminished in value due to the lack of agricultural uses remaining for the property owner.
• Rural Residential Homesite: 31.54 Acres (1,373,901 square feet) – As discussed in the highest and best use section, the residential remainder area has reduced appeal in the after condition. Therefore, it is valued at $425,000 (as shown in the table below).

TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS
The project will also require two temporary construction easements. These easements do not convey any right or interest in the property, nor does it prevent the property owner from the use of the property; provided, however, that such use does not interfere with the rights granted.

Temporary easements are utilized during the duration of a project for construction purposes. They are a temporary lease of the land and do not represent a permanent acquisition of rights.

However, they affect the utility of the affected land during the duration of the easement and as such, a lease payment is due for its lifetime.

Duration of Easement: The temporary construction easement will commence on November 1, 2021 and end on February 1, 2022.

Impacts to the Subject: As mentioned in the analysis of the remainder after, no significant impacts are expected outside the project area. No permanent damages are concluded.

Rate of Return: In estimating the market value for a temporary easement, appraisers typically consider the easement similar to ground rent, where the land would be rented for a specified period. To arrive at a fair market rent for land, it is typical to apply a reasonable annual rate of return to the market value of the land. The rate needs to include an allowance for property taxes, which the property owner will continue to pay during the period of the temporary easement. 104

Any projections of income, expenses and economic conditions utilized in the Report, including such cash flows, should be considered as only estimates of the expectations of future income and expenses as of the date of the Report and not predictions of the future. Actual results are affected by a number of factors outside the control of CBRE, including without limitation fluctuating economic, market, and property conditions. Actual results may ultimately differ from these projections, and CBRE does not warrant any such projections.

8. The Report contains professional opinions and is expressly not intended to serve as any warranty, assurance or guarantee of any particular value of the subject property. Other appraisers may reach different conclusions as to the value of the subject property. Furthermore, market value is highly related to exposure time, promotion effort, terms, motivation, and conclusions surrounding the offering of the subject property. The Report is for the sole purpose of providing the intended user with CBRE’s independent professional opinion of the value of the subject property as of the date of the Report. Accordingly, CBRE shall not be liable for any losses that arise from any investment or lending decisions based upon the Report that the client, intended user, or any buyer, seller, investor, or lending institution may undertake related to the subject property, and CBRE has not been compensated to assume any of these risks. Nothing contained in the Report shall be construed as any direct or indirect recommendation of CBRE to buy, sell, hold, or finance the subject property.

9. No opinion is expressed on matters which may require legal expertise or specialized investigation or knowledge beyond that customarily employed by real estate appraisers. Any user of the Report is advised to retain experts in areas that fall outside the scope of the real estate appraisal profession for such matters.

10. CBRE assumes no responsibility for any costs or consequences arising due to the need, or the lack of need, for flood hazard insurance. An agent for the Federal Flood Insurance Program should be contacted to determine the actual need for Flood Hazard Insurance.

11. Acceptance or use of the Report constitutes full acceptance of these Assumptions and Limiting Conditions and any special assumptions set forth in the Report. It is the responsibility of the user of the Report to read in full, comprehend and thus become aware of all such assumptions and limiting conditions. CBRE assumes no responsibility for any situation arising out of the user’s failure to become familiar with and understand the same.

12. The Report applies to the property as a whole only, and any pro ration or division of the title into fractional interests will invalidate such conclusions, unless the Report expressly assumes such pro ration or division of interests.

This transaction was a 1031 exchange. Per the listing broker, the sellers originally listed property for $899,000.and it was on the market for multiple years because there was no rush to sell. They decided to sell for $625,000 (as-is) to a local buyer just to "get it off of their plate". The buyer intends to build a residence onsite. Utilities are at the street, and the property has a seasonal creek. 113

Per broker, all cash buyer from the Midwest. Utilities are available to connect - PG&E pole is close to the property. Septic would need to be installed, but there is a water shed on the property. County will require road improvements. Per broker, the buyer realized that building a house and getting utilities was cost prohibitive, and the property is now re-listed by buyer for $479,000. 119

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
FEBRUARY 1, 2022

STAFF REPORT

BUSINESS
ITEM NUMBER: 9.

TITLE
Citywide Capital Improvement Needs and American Rescue Plan Act Funding Discussion

RECOMMENDATION
Receive informa*on regarding citywide capital needs and provide direc*on regarding American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.

CONTACT
Lincoln Bogard, Finance Director
Erica Ahmann Smithies, Public Works Director
Felix Hernandez III, Maintenance & Utilities Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Citywide Capital Needs
At Council's request, staff compiled informa*on about the City's capital needs and an es*mate of of available funding. The sources of informa*on were a variety of prior studies, and it is intended to help Council priori*ze appropria*ons in the FY 2022/23 Budget (and beyond) and its Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

The City's capital needs are categorized based upon func*onality (parks/civic facili*es, u*li*es, roads, and transporta*on). The list of known funding sources is categorized based upon prior City budgets and its accoun*ng structure. There exists a significant "gap" between the total citywide capital need and available funding. Moreover, many funding sources have limita*ons on use, which adds to the complexity of the analysis.

Lastly, it is important to note much of the City's capital needs actually pre-date City incorpora*on.

Said differently, much of the infrastructure that is now due for replacement was built in the decades preceding incorpora*on, yet the City did not receive any funding from the County to address the their depreciated status. Thus, in the intervening decades since incorpora*on, the burgeoning new City was le? to generate its own revenue sources from scratch to address prior unmet capital needs in the former unincorporated county areas.

American Rescue Plan Act
As a result of the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the City will receive $4.9 million in 158
response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. We have received $2.45 million to date and will receive the remaining $2.45 million in July of 2022.

There is flexibility in the use of the ARPA funds. Allowable expenditures include:

Maintenance or construction of new infrastructure, including roads and utilities Moderniza*on of cybersecurity, including hardware, so?ware, and protec*on of cri*cal infrastructure
Health services
Environmental remediation
School or educational services
Provision of police, fire, and other public safety services A?er discussing the "gap" between the "need" and "known revenue", staff seek direc*on from Council on the projects or project types Council would prefer to commit ARPA funding towards. The next step is to begin a conversa*on about how to u*lize the funds. This step begins with asking a philosophical ques*on: how should the City use its ARPA funds? There are no "wrong answers", but what is the Council's preference for this one-time revenue? For example:

1. Should the City fund a few small projects or just one (or two) larger project(s)?

2. Should the City fund deferred maintenance or new capital project(s)?

3. Should the City fund utility projects (enterprise funds) or non-utility projects (General Fund)?

4. Should the City fund projects that provides a financial return on investment or just a one-*me benefit?
The presenta*on provides addi*onal clarifica*on and examples of proposed uses. Staff recommends the Council provide feedback and input regarding the examples of proposed uses. All funds must be appropriated by December 31, 2024 and expended by December 31, 2026.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."

FISCAL IMPACT
The City's overall capital need is at least $650 million. Current resources are only $21 million. ARPA funding can address another $5 million and average annual revenues are approximately $4 million.

These estimates do not include other federal, state or regional funding opportunities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is not a project as defined by CEQA.

projects?

3. Should it fund utility projects (enterprise funds) or nonutility projects (General Fund)?

4. And, should it be used in a way that provides a financial return on investment or just a one-time benefit?

ITEM NUMBER: 10.

TITLE
Declaration of a Climate Emergency

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu(on adop(ng the AD-HOC Climate Ac(on Commi,ee's recommenda(on to declare a Climate Emergency.

CONTACT
Councilmember Mark Joseph
Councilmember Pierre Washington

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
There is broad scien(fic consensus that climate change caused by human ac(vity represents a growing danger to human health, safety, and economic prosperity, and the window of opportunity for long term climate preserva(on is rapidly closing. In response to climate change impacts, 195 countries signed the "Paris Agreement" acknowledging the threat of climate change and urgent need to combat it, agreeing to keep global mean temperature "well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels" and to "pursue efforts to limit temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, "Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius," affirmed that "Limi(ng global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society," and further projected the earth could reach and exceed this temperature threshold as soon as 2030, far earlier than previously anticipated.

Also in 2018, the United States government report, "Fourth Na(onal Climate Assessment," detailed the massive threat to the American economy posed by climate change and underscored the need for immediate climate emergency action at all levels of government.

In California, Napa County and their residents, economy, and environment have already experienced drama(c adverse effects from climate change, including prolonged wildfire seasons, firestorms, rising temperatures, mudslides, severe droughts, property destruc(on, damage to infrastructure, and loss of life.
184
Climate breakdown, while endangering all people, dispropor(onately impacts young and older residents and the most vulnerable, exacerba(ng exis(ng social jus(ce and other inequi(es. Today’s children represent a par(cularly vulnerable group because increasing greenhouse gases and trapped heat will almost certainly have a profound nega(ve impact throughout their lives, as well as the lives of future generations.

On June 18, 2019, the City Council issued a Proclama(on to join with Napa County Jurisdic(ons dedicated to working together with community organiza(ons, businesses, schools, and regional partners and jurisdic(ons to educate, mobilize, expand, and accelerate local, regional, and statewide support for comprehensive, immediate, and sustained ac(on. The term "Climate Emergency" does not refer to an "Emergency", a "Local Emergency", or a "State of Emergency" as defined in American Canyon Municipal Code Chapter 2.48 "Civil Defense and Disaster Relief, Article I "Organization of City for Emergency Response" and the City Council does not confer any emergency powers to the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services as it relates to this Proclamation.

Given the preponderance of evidence that a Climate Emergency exists, and that it threatens our city, state, country, the Ad Hoc Climate Ac(on Commi,ee recommends the City Council adopt the attached Climate Change Emergency Resolution (See Attachment 1).

The a,ached Resolu(on would declare that American Canyon joins a growing list of communi(es commi,ed to a goal of Net Zero Climate Pollu(on, measured in terms of net contribu(on to excess trapped heat, by or before 2030, and further commits to evaluate all planning and policy decisions through the lens of this pledge, and to implement both immediate and sustained ac(ons in support of its achievement. A summary of local actions include the following:
• The City Council will consider amendments to its General Plan and its 2012 Energy Efficiency/Climate Action Plan, consistent with its Climate Action Goal above; and • The City Council directs its Ad Hoc Climate Action Committee to complete the following:

1. Develop specific recommenda(ons and measurable outcomes to achieve the goal of Net Zero Climate Pollutants by 2030 in the following areas:
a. Transportation
b. Buildings
c. Renewable Energy and Storage
d. Other Environmental issues, including but not limited to, water conserva(on, urban agriculture and food composting, and recycling
e. Carbon Sequestration
f. Public Awareness and Educa(on regarding individual ac(ons, including individual lifestyles and business operations
g. Climate Resiliency Efforts

2. Work with City staff, stakeholders and community leaders and organiza(ons and the public at large.

3. Identify funding sources and grant opportunities.
185

4. Present its findings and recommendations within six months.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate fiscal impact from the Recommended Ac(on. However, the Resolu(on does call upon the City to ac(ons in the future and the cost of those ac(ons is not immediately known.

Importantly, among the ac(ons to be taken is the iden(fica(on of the costs and the solicita(on of outside revenues (e.g. grants, etc.) to offset those increased costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed action is not subject to CEQA.

CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORT
1/27/2022 Page 1 of 1
Meeting Date: February 1, 2022 Submitted By: Mark Joseph, Council member Committee Name: Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) We formally recognized Kelli Dorman of Yountville for her service on NVTA; we also received a report on the two Priority Development Areas (PDA’s) in Napa and American Canyon. We authorized payments to mitigate Swainson Hawk impacts (and I gained a little notoriety for the price tag!). We also authorized an increase in Bus Driver pay, to improve recruitments.

Committee Name: Council Retreat
Spent most of the day reviewing our Napa Gateway Mobility Solution and received informal endorsement by NVTA staff. This is basically extending Newell to South Kelley Road and accepting Caltrans’ improvements along SR29. We won’t be getting six lanes, but with the Newell Extension and intersection improvements on the highway, we could end up with just as much capacity—and likely more. It also improves safety and multi-modal (think bike paths) connections. A good deal.

In the afternoon, we reviewed staff’s estimates on upgrading/renovating our existing infrastructure. A huge price tag, as expected. The next steps include refining/prioritizing the projects; looking for funding (both internal—e.g., earmarking new revenues; and external—e.g., grants). Overall, a very good session. As Council member Oro put it—we’re moving from Storming to Performing (didn’t get the line exactly!)
Committee Name: City Activities and Events
Listened to a webinar regarding the new Infrastructure Bill (Feds aren’t good at being concise; the one-hour session could have been finished in 30 minutes) and my takeaway is there’s some opportunities for us; also watched the Employee Recognition Event (not very exciting when all you can do is watch the City Manager read off names—but I’m impressed at how many long-term employees we have). Met with Jon Riley about the possibility of a Disc Golf course in American Canyon and looked at some options. Participated in CalCities’ North Bay Division’s quarterly meeting. A good discussion on upcoming Statewide ballot issues. The one by the California Business Roundtable could be really devastating to local revenues! Committee Name: Community Activities and Events
Helped with the Kiwanis Food Pantry giveaway—we’re down to once a month and getting about 100 families. Also worked on the upcoming Crab Feed (tickets are still available!). Worked on the upcoming ACAF Annual Membership Dinner meeting. Attended the Chamber’s Job Faire—good turnout of employers and prospective employees. Also attended the Napa Dem’s monthly meeting regarding reaching out to communities of color. Spoke at the Queen of the Valley Labor Rally. Lastly, moderated the AC/DC program on Local Traffic Safety—excellent panel, including our Police, Fire Chiefs and PW Director. Thank you for helping out! We may not have solved all the problems, but we were able to answer questions and offer some options. 190
David Oro - City Council Member Committee Report
Committee Name: League of California Cities North Bay Division Meeting Meeting Date: January 26, 2022
Topics of Discussion:

First meeting of the year. Received updates from:
● Susan Harvey, North Bay Division President
● Introduced League Partners, Legislative Guests, North Bay Officers and Policy Committee members, Cal Cities Board Members Pippin Dew and Denise Athas, Cal Cities President Cindy Silva
Discussion from Ms. Silva on ACA-7 Local government: police power: municipal affairs: land use and zoning (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220ACA7) which focuses on local preemption of state housing laws. This will be a big focus for Cal Cities. Opponents argue that ACA 7 would permit California’s cities and counties to opt out of density bonus law, general plan laws, the Regional Housing Needs Assessment process, fair housing laws, accessory dwelling unit laws, and many other important state laws that help make it legal to build more homes and end California’s housing crisis.

The main event was a presentation and discussion on what statewide initiatives to expect on the 2022 November ballot which was given by Brandon Castillo, Partner, Bicker, Castillo & Fairbanks. A look at some ballot and possible ballot measures follows:

Community Events and Other Activities
American Canyon Job Fair
Meeting Date: January 26, 2022
Stopped by the job fair at Adobe Lumber where 34-36 employers were looking for employees.

Everyone is hiring, and many are local jobs. Great job by the Chamber and Napa Valley College for organizing. And thanks to Adobe Lumber for the space. It was busy out there. 193
