STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 9.

TITLE
6th Cycle Housing Element Municipal Code Implementation

RECOMMENDATION
Waive second reading, read by /tle only, and adopt an Ordinance by the City Council of the City of American Canyon amending the American Canyon Municipal Code Chapter 19.38 “Emergency Shelters”; and Chapter 19.39 “Accessory Dwelling Units” consistent with current State Law.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On April 4, 2023, the City Council adopted a Resolu/on to amend the General Plan to delete Land Use Element Goal 1b and introduced the first reading of an Ordinance to amend Municipal Code Chapter 19.38 Emergency Shelters to delete resident parking requirements and update the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 19.39).

The proposed municipal code changes are consistent with State Law and adopted Housing Element Programs. Adop/ng these municipal code changes at this /me will facilitate responses to the State of California's Housing and Community Development Housing Element review letter.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
N/A.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed municipal code amendments are exempt from environmental review under CEQA because the amendments are consistent with State law that preempt any inconsistent local ordinance. Thus, the City’s ac/on is not crea/ng a new land use regula/on and it can be seen with certainty that no environmental impacts will result from the City’s ac/on. Consequently, and in accordance with CEQA Sec/on 21084(a) and both Sec/on 15002(i)(1) – lack of Local Jurisdic/onal 18 Discre/on – and Sec/on 15061(b)(3) – General Rule of Exemp/on – of the CEQA Guidelines, the ordinance adop/on is exempt from CEQA review and a No/ce of Exemp/on has been prepared for this proposed amendment.

STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 11.

TITLE
BPR Consulting Group Permit Technician Contract Amendment and Extension

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on of the City Council of the City of American Canyon approving Amendment 1 to Agreement 2022-A136 with BPR Consul*ng Group Permit Technician services to increase the total contract amount by $157,500 to an amount not to exceed $207,500, extend the contract term to June 30, 2024, and amend the Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget to account for the addi*onal contract cost during the current fiscal year.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In 2022, the sharp rise in building permit ac*vity necessitated addi*onal Permit Technician services for the Community Development Department. At that *me, the City Manager signed an agreement with BPR Consul*ng Group for a contract not to exceed $50,000 that extended to June 30, 2023. A copy of Agreement 2022-A136 is included as Attachment 2.

Over that *me, staff has been very pleased with the performance of BPR Consul*ng Group services.

In addi*on to providing con*nuous permit technician service during staff leave absences, building permit ac*vity in Watson Ranch and the Broadway District has con*nued to increase beyond expecta*ons. Consequently, the $50,000 contract amount is projected to be completed several months before the end of the fiscal year. To ensure con*nued service standards are met, staff requests a contract amendment in the amount of $157,500. This amount would provide con*nued service for this current and next fiscal year.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
Total contract amendment cost is $157,500. The FY2023-23 budget will be amended by $40,500 to cover the addi*onal services. FY 2023-24 contract budget of $117,000 will be included in the 70 ensuing budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The recommended action (approving contract amendment for Building Safety Services) is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA,” Public Resources Code Sec*on 21000 et seq.) because the ac*ons will not cause, or have the poten*al to cause, a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (See, CEQA Guidelines, Title 14 California Code of Regula*ons, Sec*ons 15060(c)(2),(3), and 15061(b)(3)).

Further, the proposed ac*ons are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guideline sec*on 15273, specifying that establishment or modifica*on of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies for mee*ng opera*ng expenses including employee wages are exempt from CEQA.

WHEREAS, the BPR Consulting Group Permit Technician services are funded with building permit issuance, building permit and plan check fee user fee revenue; and WHEREAS, the 2022/23 Fiscal Year mid-year budget allocates $399,500 for Miscellaneous Contractual Services; and
WHEREAS, due to increased building activity, the 2022/23 Fiscal Year budget shall be amended to increase Building Permit revenue by $40,500 and Miscellaneous Contractual Services by $40,500; and WHEREAS, the BPR Consulting Group contract shall be increased to reflect the additional work accomplished during Fiscal Year 2022/23 and anticipated work for Fiscal Year 23/24, equaling $157,500 for a total contract amount not to exceed $207,500.

ITEM NUMBER: 12.

TITLE
Annual 2022 General Plan Annual Progress Report

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the 2022 General Plan Annual Progress Report.

CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
California law requires every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that expresses a longterm shared vision of a Healthy, Equitable, Resilient, and Economically Vibrant community. As the cons4tu4on of development, General Plan policies are fulfilled through City func4ons related to land use decisions, municipal service delivery, capital improvement projects, and considera4on of funding priorities including potential service level changes.

Sec4on 65400(b) of the State of California Government Code requires planning agencies to provide an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the legisla4ve body (i.e.: “City Council”) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) on the status of the General Plan and implementa4on progress. The four basic purposes of the annual report are as follows:

Assess General Plan implementa4on progress consistent with the goals, policies and implementation measures.

Provide informa4on that may lead to needed General Plan modifica4ons to improve implementation.

Correlate land use decisions made during the repor4ng period, and General Plan goals, policies and implementation measures.

Inform local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development.

The State of California Office of Planning and Research (OPR), who will receive a copy of this APR, provides guidance on the format for the General Plan APR. OPR states there is no standardized format and the APR is not required to discuss all the General Plan elements. For this reason, OPR suggests that by using annual repor4ng informa4on per4nent to General Plan such as: “annual 128
reports,” “performance reports,” “budget reports,” or “state of the city/county reports”, the APR need not be elaborate and time-consuming.

OPR encourages jurisdic4ons to include these types of reports or por4ons in the APR so long as they specifically address the implementa4on of the General Plan. This approach enables General Plan implementa4on to be discussed in the broader context of the jurisdic4on's overall programs and ac4vi4es, including real estate development, economic development, public infrastructure, public safety, and other topics.

This year’s General Plan Annual Report looks back at 2022 and the City’s progress toward implemen4ng the General Plan. The APR draws significantly on published annual reports, such as the State of the City, Community Development published monthly status reports, the American Canyon Police Annual Report, and the Fire District monthly newsleEer. All these reports reflect priorities that fulfill General Plan policies.

A copy of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report is included in this report as Appendix A to complete the General Plan review. The Housing Element Annual Progress Report was presented to the Planning Commission on February 23, 2023 and the City Council on March 21, 2023 and delivered to OPR and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on March 24, 2023. In future years, the General Plan Annual Report will be paired with the Housing Element Annual Report.

Purpose of this Document
California law requires every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that expresses a long-term shared vision of a Healthy, Equitable, Resilient, and Economically Vibrant community. As the constitution of development, General Plan policies are fulfilled through City functions related to land use decisions, municipal service delivery, capital improvement projects, and consideration of funding priorities including potential service level changes.

Section 65400(b) of the State of California Government Code requires planning agencies to provide an annual report to their legislative body and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The four basic purposes of the annual report are as follows:
• Assess General Plan implementation progress consistent with the goals, policies and implementation measures.
• Provide information that may lead to needed General Plan modifications to improve implementation. • Correlate land use decisions made during the reporting period, and General Plan goals, policies and implementation measures.
• Inform local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development.

This APR draws significantly on published annual reports, such as the State of the City, Community Development published monthly status reports, the American Canyon Police Annual Report, and the Fire District monthly newsletter. All these reports reflect priorities that fulfill General Plan policies. This year’s General Plan Annual Report looks back at 2022 and the City’s progress toward implementing the General Plan.

A copy of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report is included in this report as “Appendix A” to complete the General Plan review. The 2022 Calendar Year Housing Element Annual Progress Report was presented to the Planning Commission on February 23, 2023 and the City Council on March 21, 2023 and delivered to OPR and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on March 24, 2023.

General Plan Background/Element Status
California law requires that every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that addresses seven specific topics or “elements,” organized in any format or structure preferred by the community. The General Plan may also address other topics the community feels are relevant. Regardless of the format or issues addressed, the Plan must be internally consistent.

Following incorporation in January 1992, the City adopted a General Plan in 1994. The General Plan includes the following elements: 1) Land Use, 2) Housing, 3) Economic Development, 4) Circulation, 5) Utilities, 6) Public Services-Facilities, 7) Parks- Recreation, 8) Natural – Historic – Cultural, 9) Geology, 10) Flood Hazards, and 11) Noise. The General Plan also includes a Bicycle Plan and Pedestrian Plan as Appendix 1 and 2 to the Circulation Element.

Since the original General Plan adoption, the City has incrementally amended the Land Use Element many times, the most recent was April 4, 2023. This most recent amendment deleted Goal 1B and associated policies related to Growth Control policies from the original General Plan because the outdated Goal is inconsistent with State Law.

The Circulation Element was comprehensively updated in 2013 with incremental amendments since that time, the most recent was June 4, 2019. The 2019 Circulation Element amendment reflected changes needed to the Circulation plan to accommodate the Watson Ranch Specific Plan.

The Housing Element has been comprehensively updated consistent with State mandates, the most recent was January 31, 2023 pending certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Since 2020, the City has been preparing a comprehensive Technical update to the General Plan. At this time, an Administrative Draft Internal review of a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) has been prepared. Following staff review of this document, the City will release the PEIR for a 45-day public review period and commence General Plan public hearings leading to its adoption by the end of 2023.

City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan ultimately depends on how it is implemented and maintained over time. The General Plan is a fundamental document that provides local control over the physical development of our City. All Capital Improvement Projects, Land Use Ordinances, Development Approvals, Impact Fees, Infrastructure dedications and Conditions of Approvals must be consistent with the General Plan.

General Plan Amendments
State law allows the City to amend its General Plan no more than four times per year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. In 2022, the City did not amend the General Plan.

Monitoring Long-Term Growth
The City monitors long-term growth through consistency among General Plan Elements working together to connect future growth with needed infrastructure. Implementing actions, such as traffic, water, parks, and other impact fees helps pay for the impacts of new development. Master Plans, such as the Urban Water Master Plan, the 5- Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and other long-range infrastructure plans address impacts of land use growth.

Specific Plans, such as the Broadway District Specific Plan and Watson Ranch Specific Plan tie future growth to infrastructure needs. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) also plays an important role in evaluating proposed development with infrastructure needs. 133

2022 also saw completion of the Circle K gas station and convenience store. This is the last gas station in American Canyon due to the 2021 approval of an ordinance that prohibits new and expanded gas stations in American Canyon.

Goal 1I and Economic Development Element Goal 3 Develop industrial uses that provide employment for residents and revenue for the City.

In 2022, the City continued to process the Giovannoni Logistics Center which would provide 2.4 million square feet of industrial development in the Green Island Industrial Park and approved construction permits for the Pacific Gas & Electric Regional Center.

Goal 1L Study potential development of lands between Newell Drive and the City Urban Limit Line In 2022, the City continued to see progress in the construction of Canyon Estates – a custom home neighborhood in the former Special Study area. This project includes 35 acres of permanent open space and a contribution to improvements at the Newell Open Space reserve.

Goal 1QExpand American Canyon’s jurisdictional boundaries to establish a logical pattern of growth and services In 2022, the City issued a Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Paoli/Watson Lane Annexation. This project would add approximately 80 acres into the City limits consistent with the General Plan Sphere of Influence and Urban Limit Line. An EIR has been released for public review in 2023.

The City initiated the We Love Safe Streets program and resident pledge.

In 2022, the City of American Canyon completed an annual pavement resurfacing project that included paving, ADA upgrades, bike lane, and/or crosswalk improvements at the following streets: American Canyon Road East (between Flosden Road & City Limits), Blanco Street, Brophy Street, Corsicana Drive, Commerce Boulevard, Donaldson Way East, Flosden Road at Daniel Drive, Folland Drive, Gold Valley Way & Tapestry Lane, Kemp Lane, Kemp Way, Sheffield Way, Shenandoah Drive, and Silver Oak Trail.

This project was funded by SB1/Gas Tax, Measure T, and ARPA Funding. Six streets are planned for 1.5 miles of grind and overlay through Measure T Funding in 2023. Other streets are also intended to be funded through SB1/Gas Tax Funding. The selected areas are based on our pavement management program, considering public safety, underground utility needs, and available funding. To learn more about how these decisions are made or see the specific areas on the project list, visit CityofAmericanCanyon.org/Streets.

Guiding Policy 2: Implement Planned Roadway Improvements.

In 2022, the City completed a critical link of Devlin Road and Vine Trail from Green Island Road to Middleton Way.

Guiding Policy 3: Design circulation system to focus regional travel on SR 29.

In 2022, the City supported the Napa Valley Transportation Authority efforts to develop a “Project Initiation Document” for Highway 29 beautification, functionality, and operational improvements.

Utilities Element
Goal 5 Establish and maintain a secure water supply and treatment, distribution and storage system.

Over the past decade American Canyon has reduced 32% in water delivered from the State Water Project (equal to 389 million gallons of water) even though the City has grown by a few thousand people and 10 million SF of commercial/industrial development. Continued efforts in water sustainability by:
• Implementation of the City’s Zero Water Footprint Policy, • Partnering with all jurisdictions throughout the county on a public messaging billboard on Hwy 29 in south Napa County,
• Broadening the use of recycled water including residential landscaping deliveries, • Diligent employee work to replace leaky pipelines, and • Introducing the AquaTrax Customer Water Portal that lets residents track their water consumption in real time.

To save water, residents can limit irrigation and repair leaks at home. Sign up for “My Water Portal” and learn more about water-saving resources—including American Canyon’s ‘Cash for Grass’ and the toilet replacement rebates—at CityofAmericanCanyon.org/SaveWater.

In 2022, more than 500 American Canyon residents participated in the residential recycling program, saving 7.1 acre-feet (AF) of potable water.

Goal 5A Provide a high quality water supply to American Canyon water users.

In 2022, the City continued to participate in development of the Sites Reservoir, which is an environmentally sensitive reservoir that stores excess winter runoff water for use when demands are high. This facility is anticipated to be completed in early 2030’s. 138

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
APRIL 18, 2023

STAFF REPORT

CONSENT
ITEM NUMBER: 13.

TITLE
Credit Card Processing Fees

RECOMMENDATION
Approve changes to the City's credit card processing prac(ces so that fees will no longer be absorbed by the City and instead passed through to end users.

CONTACT
Juan Gomez, Finance Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
To provide more convenient and efficient payment op(ons, the City is expanding the opportunity for its customers to pay for building permits and services online using credit cards. The City currently accepts credit cards payments online for u(lity bills, business license fees and recrea(onal classes. While these transac(ons are convenient and efficient, the City absorbs the fees associated with accep(ng credit cards. These fees include credit card company fees, processor fees and bank fees, which average $128,000 per year. To mi(gate the significant and growing charges associated with accep(ng credit cards, staff is recommending that these fees be paid directly by the end user to the credit card processor.

Since the City uses different pla9orms for processing credit cards, the fee that will be passed through to end user will range from 2.75% to 3%, this fee is in line with what other government agencies charge as a convenience fee or as a pass-through fee. ACH and e-check payments have a much smaller processing fee of $0.30 to $0.70 per transac(on and will con(nue to be absorbed by the City, allowing for a no fee alterna(ve payment method for those wan(ng to pay online. The expected implementa(on of this pass-through model is expected to be in July 2023, as staff will need to work with vendors to develop new online functionality and testing.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
City Council approval of passing through the credit fees to the end user will result in savings to the 160
City of approximately $128,000 per year.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac(on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec(ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NUMBER: 14.

TITLE
Summary Vacation of Easement

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of American Canyon, authorizing the City Manager to summarily vacate the 25-foot-wide water easement, containing 61,924 square feet, more or less, described in Exhibit A, Parcel B, in Resolution 2009-08.

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Edison Bisnar, P.E., Engineer III

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
An easement was originally acquired by the City to American Canyon on February 3, 2009, for the purpose of construc<ng, installing and maintaining the City’s Potable and Reclaimed Water Storage Tanks east of Newell Drive. See Exhibit A.

On April 19, 2016, the City of American Canyon City Council approved a Ves<ng Tenta<ve Map (VTM), Resolu<on 2016-20, to subdivide the canyon estates property to create 35 lots for custom or semi -custom homes, and the Canyon Estates residen<al design guidelines on property located east of Newell Drive, across from Donaldson Way and Granite Springs Way, assessor' s parcel numbers 059-040-078 and 079. See Exhibit B.

On February 22, 2021, the City of American Canyon Public Works Department approved the Canyon Estates Improvement Plans and following approval, the City’s water lines within the easement in Canyon Estates were relocated. See Exhibit C.

On December 6, 2022, the City of American Canyon City Council, Resolu<on 2022-R105, accepted the Canyon Estates Public Improvements. As a result, the old water main easement within Canyon Estates is no longer in use and is abandoned.
162
Sec<on 8333(c) of the Streets and Highway Code provides a procedure for the City to vacate unneeded and unused public easement in a simple perfunctory manner; the procedure is known as a “Summary Vaca<on”. Because the facts of the situa<on support the required findings, staff recommends the Council adopt a Resolu<on vaca<ng the unused easement by way of Summary Vacation.

COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Not applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed action.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An environmental review for the Project was previously completed pursuant to CEQA. The vaca<ng of public easement is not a project as defined in Sec<on 15378(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AMERICAN CANYON, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING

A VESTING TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP TO SUBDIVIDE THE CANYON ESTATES PROPERTY TO CREATE 35 LOTS FOR CUSTOM OR SEMI -CUSTOM HOMES, AND THE CANYON ESTATES RESIDENTIAL

DESIGN GUIDELINES ON PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF NEWELL DRIVE, ACROSS FROM DONALDSON WAY AND GRANITE SPRINGS WAY, ASSESSOR' S PARCEL NUMBERS 059-040-078 AND 079, ( FILE NO.

PL15- 0004)
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 65300 of the State Planning and Zoning Law, the City of American Canyon has adopted a General Plan to provide comprehensive long- range planning and a blueprint of the city' s future form, including land use and circulation maps that specify the roadway network and the distribution of types and intensities of land; and
WHEREAS, an application was filed by Loewke Planning Associates for approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to divide the Canyon Estates property to create 35 lots for custom or semi -custom homes, and the Canyon Estates Residential Design Guidelines on property located east of Newell Drive, across from Donaldson Way and Granite Springs Way, Assessor' s Parcel Numbers 059- 040-078 and 079 ( File No. PL14- 0004); and
WHEREAS, The City Council approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the overall project in January 2015 in conjunction with the General Plan Amendment, prezoning and initiation of annexation for the Canyon Estates project; the subdivision is substantially consistent with the project evaluated; and no further environmental review is needed; and
WHEREAS, a duly -noticed public hearing was held by the City of American Canyon Planning Commission on January 28, 2016 on the subject application, at which time all those in attendance were given the opportunity to speak on this proposal; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to divide the Canyon Estates property to create 35 lots for custom or semi -custom homes, and the Canyon Estates Residential Design Guidelines; and WHEREAS, a duly -noticed public hearing was held by the City of American Canyon City Council on February 16, 2016 on the subject application, at which time all those in attendance were given the opportunity to speak on this proposal;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of American Canyon hereby approves the Canyon Estates Vesting Tentative Map and Residential Design Guidelines, subject to the following Findings and Conditions of Approval.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS

1. The subdivision is substantially consistent with the project evaluated in the Negative Declaration for the overall project approved January 2015 in conjunction with the General Plan Amendment, prezoning and initiation of annexation for the Canyon Estates project; and no further environmental review is needed; and
1 183

2. American Canyon Municipal Code ( ACMC) Section 18. 22.055 provides that the planning commission shall not recommend approval and the city council shall not approve a tentative subdivision map if any of the following findings are made:

A. That the proposed tentative subdivision map is not consistent with the city' s general plan or its elements or other applicable plans;
The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan because it will provide individual lots with adequate access and utility services to be developed with custom or semi -custom homes and the subdivision design and the Residential Design Guidelines are consistent with and implement the General Plan policies for Residential Estate ( RE) development in hillside areas, as analyzed in the staff reportfor this project.

B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with the city' s general plan or its elements or any other applicable plans;
The proposed improvements for the subdivision are consistent with the City' s General Plan, including the size of individual lots, setbacks of residential buildings from the electrical transmission line easement, and the provision of two points of access to the subdivision, as analyzed in the staff report for this project. in order to more fully comply with the requirements to " maximize long range views of the community and surrounding landscape, the maximum building heights of 13 lots are reduced from what was proposed by the applicant.

C. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed; The subdivision site is physically suitable for the type of development because it is adjacent to existing residential development, the subdivision is designed to protect Newell Creek and its major tributary which runs through the site, and is designed to provide large lots for estate development with views of the Napa River area.

D. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development proposed; The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because the density of development will comply with the limits set out in the General Plan and can be improved and provided with necessary utilities to serve the future development. There are no geologic conditions which would prevent the intended development, and the site is of sufficient size to provide a conservation area to offset the proposed development.

E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; The subdivision and related improvements would not adversely affect wildlife habitat areas, as described in the initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Canyon Estates General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Annexation, dated August 2014 and approved by the City Council in January of 2015. Adequate setbacks are maintained from Newell Creek and its tributary, and a conservation easement will be place over most of the 74 acres of upland area.

F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems;
2 184
The subdivision improvements are consistent with the improvements provided for other development in the City and are not likely to cause serious health problems.

G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the city council may approve a tentative subdivision map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to one previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is granted to the city council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
There are no public access easements within the subdivision site which would be affected and the subdivision includes the dedication ofpublic trails east of the subdivision.

H. That the discharge of waste water, including sewage and stormwater runoff, from the proposed subdivision would result in a violation of existing water quality requirements prescribed by the regional water quality control board.

The conditions of approval will require the completion of infrastructure improvements that would accommodate sewage and stormwater runoff in compliance with water quality requirements, as shown in the Vesting Tentative Map.

Because none of the findings to disapprove the proposed subdivision can be made, the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (PL15- 0004) is approved, subject to the following conditions.

SECTION 2. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with American Canyon Municipal Code ( ACMC) Section 19. 28.050 provides that the City Council approves the payment of inclusionary housing in -lieu fees as an alternative to providing the ten percent low-income units within the Canyon Estates subdivision because the Council finds thatthe provision of on- site inclusionary units is infeasible for this subdivision for the following reasons:

The developer cost to complete these 35 very large hillside lots comes to over $450,000 per lot; this figure is more than double what a lower-income family could afford to pay for both the finished lot and the home to be built on it.

2. The annual maintenance costs assessed by the HOA to each lot in this project is estimated at $ 10,000 per lot, or equivalent to nearly half of the entire housing budget for a lower-income family offour.

3. If 4 of the lots were discounted to sell at roughly $80,000 each (one-third of what a lower-income family could pay), the result would be to inflate the market price for remaining 31 finished lots in Canyon Estates to roughly $600,000 — a level substantially beyond the threshold of marketfeasibility. 3 185

6. Prior to recordation of the Final Map, the applicant shall submit to the Community Development Department and City Attorney for review and approval a draft copy of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC& Rs) for this project.

As offered by the applicant, the applicant shall dedicate easements, include the design of the trail system in the improvement plans, and construct the public trail system including the crossing of Newell Creek, subject to the following:
5 187
a. The City shall be responsible for the environmental review; design of the trail improvements and creek crossing; securing the necessary permits from resource agencies and conservation easement trustee entities; and construction of portion of the Trail Extension starting at the U. S.

Fish and Wildlife Service jurisdictional line on the south side of Newell Creek, through to the connection to existing trails in the Newell Open Space on the north side of the Creek ( referred to herein as the " Creek Crossing"). The applicant shall be responsible for the dedication of the potential trail alignment on the Final Map, and for all of the City' s costs for this portion of the Trail Extension, subject to a credit against the portion of the Parks and Recreation Impact fee specified in Paragraph c of this Condition. The applicant is not required to include the Creek Crossing on the subdivision improvement plans, but shall include the public access easement for the Creek Crossing on the Final Map.
b. Prior to recordation of the Final Map, the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City regarding paying the City' s costs for the portion of the Trail Extension as described in Paragraph A of this condition. The applicant shall be responsible for the payment of the City' s actual costs even if they exceed the maximum amount of credit towards the Parks and Recreation Impact Fee as specified in Paragraph e of this Condition. The agreement shall provide that the applicant shall pay to the City a portion of the Parks and Recreation in- lieu fee in the amount of$ 144,410 upon recordation of the Final Map for the project, and shall be responsible to reimburse the City for any costs for the portion of the Trail Extension as described in Paragraph a of this Condition that exceed this payment. The agreement shall include that the remaining portion of the Parks and Recreation Impact fee in the amount of$ 1, 066 per residential unit shall be paid at the time of issuance of a building permit for the construction of a new home. c. The project is subject to the payment of the park and civic facilities development impact fee established by American Canyon Municipal Code Chapter 15.08. The amount of this impact fee may be reduced by the costs of the environmental review, permitting, design and construction of the Trail Extension to a maximum of$ 4,126 for each of the 35 residential lots. This amount is the portion of the impact fee attributed to parkland acquisition and development as adopted by the City Council on January 20, 2015.

10. The applicant shall provide a 10-foot wide easement along the most northern portion of Assessor' s Parcel Number 059- 040-078 adjacent to the Newell Open Space to allow a rural trail ( bladed not improved with paving) from the Newell Open Space to a point adjacent to the northeasterly corner of the site, avoiding impact to existing trees, as conceptually shown on Exhibit " C" as the " Ridgeline Trail". The easement alignment as shown on the Final Map shall be to the satisfaction of the Parks and Recreation Director. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS) is expected to confirm through their Biological Opinion that the proposed Ridgeline Trail will not preclude the accommodation of sufficient onsite land outside the City Boundary to serve as a habitat preserve in order to adequately 6 188
compensate for all temporary and permanent disturbances to lands within the subdivision boundary. In the event that this is not the determination of USFWS, then the applicant shall not be required to make this trail easement dedication.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NUMBER: 15.

TITLE
Speed Survey Update

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu&on (1) approving the 2022 Engineering and Traffic Surveys and the Speed Limit recommenda&ons therein and direc&ng the City Clerk to file the Report with the Napa County Traffic Court; and (2) waive first reading, read by &tle only, and introduce an Ordinance amending Title 10 – Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 10.56 Speed Limits of the American Canyon Municipal Code.

CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Maintaining vehicle speed enforcement is a key component in ensuring our neighborhood streets remain safe. The posted Speed Limits are not enforceable without a valid (i.e. current) Engineering and Traffic Safety Report
Most streets in American Canyon are classified as local streets because they typically have low vehicle volumes and speeds. These roads have an automa&c (or prima facie) Speed Limit of 25 mph, regardless of whether or not a Speed Limit sign is posted. Special areas around sensi&ve popula&ons (such as schools) also have a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph.

Larger, high-volume City streets (such as collectors and arterials) have a prima facie Speed Limit of 55 mph. However, California Vehicle Code (CVC) also prohibits driving a vehicle on these streets “… at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property”.

Because the reasonable and prudent standard is subjec&ve, the State Legislature requires an Engineering and Traffic Survey (ETS) be conducted to substan&ate a lower speed limit. A Survey is required to guard against ci&es tendency to create speed traps in order to generate revenue from unsuspecting motorists.

Specifically, CVC §40802 et seq. requires an ETS to be conducted every five to ten years to 211
determine the prevailing speed (or 85th percen&le speed). The prevailing speed is that which 85% of motorists are measured when driving safely (i.e. reasonable and prudent). It can vary over &me depending upon site condi&ons. Most oFen, the measured prevailing speed becomes the posted Speed Limit. However, the prevailing speed may be adjusted downward to a lower Speed Limit.

The maximum Speed Limit reduc&on is 5 mph (below the prevailing speed). This reduc&on can only be based upon engineering judgement of “condi&ons not readily apparent to the driver” (e.g. presence of pedestrians and collision rates). Said differently, the City cannot arbitrarily pick a lower Speed Limit; rather, it measures the speeds of the (mostly) safe vehicles, and then it can enforce those limits on all drivers. Further explana&on of this ra&onale is shown in AIachment 3 and a summary of recommended Speed Limits is shown in the table below:

In October 2022, the City ini&ated the new ETS for City streets (loca&ons 1-18 above) to help law enforcement’s ability to enforce posted Speed Limits. The ETS was completed under the direc&on of a Professional Traffic Engineer (Fehr and Peers) and the Public Works Director. It includes speed survey data, traffic volume counts, and accident history for the selected streets. This data was considered along with roadway characteris&cs, adjacent land uses, side street traffic, and sight distances in recommending appropriate posted speeds.

Based on the analysis in the ETS report, the recommenda&ons were to maintain the exis&ng speed limits for all roadway segments except for Segment 2, Segment 3, Segment 6, Segment 11, Segment 12, Segment 16, Segment 17 and Segment 18 outlined in the above table where a speed limit reduc&on of 5 mph is recommended. Addi&onal details including a comparison of the 2016/2017 ETS report are also provided in the 2022 ETS report.

Staff recommends the Council approve the 2022 Engineering and Traffic Surveys report and the recommended Speed Limits therein. Staff further recommends the Council supersede and replace Chapter 10.56 “Speed Limits”, Title 10 – “Vehicles and Traffic” of the American Canyon Municipal Code with the recommended speeds in the 2022 Engineering and Traffic Surveys report and file the necessary paperwork with the Napa County Traffic Court.

Executive Summary
This report presents the results of an engineering and traffic survey analysis completed in the City of American Canyon, California. This study analyzes the appropriateness of posted speed limits on 18 roadway segments within the American Canyon City limits. Speed limits for the roadway segments were evaluated and compared to the 85th percentile speed to make recommendations on whether the speed limit is appropriate and can be radar enforced per California law. Locations where the 85th percentile speed deviates from the posted speed limit by at least 2.5 miles per hour were analyzed in more detail. Additionally, in October 2021, Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) was signed by the Governor and in September 2022, Assembly Bill 1938 (AB 1938) became law. Both Assembly Bills authorize local authorities to consider the safety of vulnerable users such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and those who roll (wheelchair users, scooters, etc.) when setting speed limits. With these Assembly Bills in place, local authorities have additional justification to lower speed limits in combination with other improvements to manage speeds. These redundancies in implementation on our roadway system to reduce fatal and severe injuries are in line with the national and state level adoption of the Safe System Approach.

The Safe System Approach is based on the premise that death and severe injury due to collisions is unacceptable on our roadways, and we have a shared responsibility to prevent these tragic events from occurring. The adoption of the lower speed limit settings from AB 43 and AB 1938 promotes the reduction in speeds in areas where there is potential for more multimodal activity. Lowering speeds of vehicles helps to reduce the kinetic energy between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists when a crash does occur, reducing the outcome of a fatal or severe injury.

Overall, the observed 85th percentile speeds have slightly increased as compared to the data from the 2016/2017 Speed Surveys. Speeds have increased in one or both directions on 8 of the 16 roadway segments (50%) and decreased or stayed the same on 8 roadway segments. One new segment (Kimberly Drive) was added to this speed survey and has no recorded 2016/2017 speed data. The following road segments have 85th percentile speeds that are 10 mph or more above the current posted speed limit:
• Kimberly Drive from Meadow Bay Drive to SR 29 (Segment 7) • Elliot Drive from West American Canyon Road to Marla Drive (Segment 12) • Broadway Street from American Canyon Road East to Mini Drive (Segment 15) The California Vehicle Code (CVC) and Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) allow consideration of other factors besides the 85th percentile speed when setting posted speed limits. These factors include existing roadway conditions (e.g., pavement width), on-street residential density, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and speed-related collision data. Further, the adoption of AB 43 and AB 1938 allows local 222

2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
ii
jurisdictions to also consider surrounding land use contexts such as schools, senior zones, and business activity districts. Incorporating these factors into the speed survey evaluation, we recommend the existing speed limits be maintained on all but five study roadway segments in the City of American Canyon.

We recommend the City reduce the posted speed limit on the following roadway segment from 45 mph to 40 mph:
• Flosden Road from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits (Segment 17) • American Canyon Road East from Broadway Street to the Eastern City Limits (Segment 18) We recommend the City reduce the posted speed limit on the following roadway segment from 40 mph to 35 mph:
• West American Canyon Road from Wetlands Edge to James Road (Segment 6) We recommend the City reduce the posted speed limit on the following two roadway segments from 35 mph to 30 mph:
• Eucalyptus Drive from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way (Segment 2) • Newell Drive from the Northern Newell Open Space Extents to American Canyon Road East (Segment 16)
The recommendation for these segments comes from the need for reducing speeds around school zones.

We recommend the City implement a 25 miles per hour speed limit within 500 to 1,000 feet of a school zone. Outside of this zone, the segments are recommended to be 30 mph.

We recommend the City reduce the posted speed limit on the following roadway segment from 30 mph to 25 mph:
• Elliot Drive from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road (Segment 11) We recommend the City reduce the posted speed limit on the following roadway segment from 25 mph to 15 mph:
• Benton Way from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way (Segment 3) The recommendation for this segment comes from the need for reducing speeds around school zones and community amenities such as the American Canyon Community Center, Phillip West Aquatic Center, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Community Park 2. AB 321, adopted in 2008, allows local government to lower the speed limit at schools to a 15 mile per hour speed limit within 500 to 1,000 feet of a school zone. Outside of the school zone, the segment is recommended to remain at 25 mph. 223

The City should continue to monitor speeds on the following eight roadway segments and implement traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds. These roadways have been prioritized into Three Tiers in which the City should consider installing traffic calming improvements, with Tier I being the highest priority:

Tier I
• Kimberly Drive from Meadow Bay Drive to SR 29 (Segment 7) • Elliot Drive from West American Canyon Road to Marla Drive (Segment 12) Tier II
• Broadway Street from American Canyon Road East to Southern City Limits (Segment 15) Tier III
• West American Canyon Road from Wetlands Edge Road to James Road (Segment 6) • Flosden Road from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits (Segment 17) • American Canyon Road East from Broadway Street to the Eastern City Limits (Segment 18) 224

8 3. Average Daily Traffic Volumes
This section of the report presents the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes for the roadway segments analyzed for this report. Segment counts were taken in early October 2022. Figure 4 graphically presents the ADT for the 18 study roadway segments analyzed.

All but two of the roadway segments analyzed in this report serve fewer than 10,000 ADT. Flosden Road between American Canyon Road East and the Southern City Limits serves an average of 17,600 vehicles per day. Flosden Road is another major arterial and connects to American Canyon Road East and the City of Vallejo; therefore, the higher volumes on this roadway are expected. American Canyon Road East between Broadway Street and the Eastern City Limits serves an average of 19,800 vehicles per day. American Canyon Road East is a major arterial in the City of American Canyon and connects to SR 29 and Flosden Road, so the higher volumes on this roadway are expected.

10 4. Speed Survey Analysis
This section represents the results of a speed survey conducted in September 2022. The data from the survey is presented first, followed by the analysis of each segment. The key measure for analysis is the 85th percentile or critical speed of a roadway segment. The 85th percentile speed is that speed at which 85 percent of free-flowing vehicles are traveling at or below the posted speed limit. Special attention is paid to those roadway segments where the 85th percentile speed exceeds the posted speed limit by 2.5 miles per hour (mph) or greater.

Appendix A contains individual data sheets for all 18 roadway segments analyzed for the 2022 American Canyon Speed Survey.

Data Collection
Speed surveys were conducted at 18 locations within the City of American Canyon. Some study roadways have multiple study segments to reflect the changes in posted speeds, traffic volumes, streets width or other significant factors that vary on a roadway. Automated machine equipment was used to capture existing average daily traffic (ADT) volumes. Per guidelines from the MUTCD, speeds for high-volume locations were collected with radar equipment. For those roadway segments that have lower roadway volumes that do not allow for effective radar observations, automated machine equipment that continually collects traffic data was used to capture observed travel speeds. The approximate locations of the volume data collection points are indicated in Figure 1 and correspond with the location number indicator for each roadway segment.

Figure 5 and Figure 6 visually show the 85th percentile speeds for the 18 study roadway segments analyzed.

Based on the speed survey analysis, the posted speed limit at each location was evaluated and recommendations made on whether the speed limit is appropriate. Specifically, the 85th percentile speed was used as a baseline comparison to the posted speed limit.

California Vehicle Code
Division 11, Chapter 7, of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) defines the California Speed Laws (also known as Sections 22348-22413). Relevant sections of the CVC are used to determine speed limits in local jurisdictions are discussed below.
234
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
11 Prima Facie Speed limits
Prima facie speed limits are the innate speed limits on the roadway and shall be applicable unless changed as authorized in the CVC. Section 22352 of the CVC indicates the following prima facie speed limits. • 15 mph: at railway crossings, when traversing any intersection with site restrictions, or on any alley.
• 25 mph: in any business or residence district as defined by Division 1 of the CVC, when approaching or passing a school building or grounds, or when passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens.

These prima facie speed limits are set by the CVC and the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph can only be changed based on an Engineering and Traffic Survey.

Engineering and Traffic Survey
In order for the court systems and the public to accept and respect the posting and enforcement, by radar, of posted speed limits, an Engineering and Traffic Survey must incorporate sound, repeatable methods conforming to the CVC and engineering principles.

Section 22357(a) stipulates that local authorities may set speed limits greater than 25 mph if an Engineering and Traffic Survey, such as this, determines that speeds greater than 25 mph would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street excluding those subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour. Based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey, the local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic, and is reasonable and safe.

An Engineering and Traffic Study shall include the consideration of all the following as defined in Section 627 of the CVC:
• Prevailing speeds as determined by the traffic engineering measurements, • Collision records, and
• Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.

In addition to the metrics identified above, local authorities may consider the following:
• Residential density, if any of the following conditions exist on a portion of highway, other than a business district:
235
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
12 ◦ Upon one side of the highway, within one-quarter mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, ◦ Upon both sides of the highway, collectively, within one-quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures, or
◦ The portion of highway is longer than one-quarter of a mile but has the ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway described in the earlier two points above; and
• Pedestrian and bicycle safety.

The declared speed limits become effective when appropriate speed limit signs are erected on the street.

This does not apply to any 25-mph prima facie limit as it relates to passing a school building, senior center, or other facility primarily used by senior citizens.

Methodology for Modifying Prima Facie Speed Limits
When conducting an Engineering and Traffic Survey to establish speed limits, Section 21400 of the CVC, and Section 2B.13 of the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), requires that local authorities round the 85th percentile free flow speed to the nearest 5 mph increment to set the appropriate speed limit, except:

1. The posted speed limit may be reduced by five mph from the nearest five mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, based on guidelines from CVC Section 627 and 22358.5, or

2. In cases where the 85th percentile speed would be rounded up the nearest five miles per hour increment, local authority may decide to instead round down and set the speed limit to the lower five miles per hour increment. If the speed limit is set at the lower five mph increment the local authority shall not reduce the speed limit any further for any reason, including those set forth in CVC Section 627 and 22358.5.

In addition, the speed limit shall be established at the same level in both directions at a given point on a roadway for uniformity purposes. Thus, the lower of the two critical speeds may be used to determine the overall segment speed limit.

In addition to the CVC Section 627 description above, Appendix B contains the text of CVC Section 627 and describes in detail what factors should be taken into consideration when establishing speed limits. A speed limit can be lowered by five mph to account for these special factors. Establishment of a speed limit of more than five mph below the 85th percentile speed should only be done after careful consideration. 236

13 Roadway Reconfigurations
West American Canyon Road is a major arterial in the City serving the highest traffic volumes and have higher travel speeds. However, we recommend (Chapter 4, Segment Summaries) that this roadway be converted to a two-lane roadway. Since this segment serves less than 25,000 vehicles, a two-lane roadway with enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities is more suited for the surrounding land uses.

AB-43 and AB-1938
California Assembly Bills No. 43 and No. 1938 were passed to update Vehicle Code relating to traffic safety in 2021 and 2022, respectively. AB-43 and AB-1938 outline the following amendments to current prima facie speed limit laws:
• The prima facie limits are twenty-five miles per hour:
o On any highway, in any business or residence district unless a different speed is determined by local authority or the Department of Transportation under procedures set forth in this code.
o When approaching or passing a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a standard “SCHOOL” warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school either during school hours or during the noon recess period. o When passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens, contiguous to a street other than a state highway and posted with a standard “SENIOR” warning sign. • The Department of Transportation shall, in the next scheduled revision, revise and thereafter maintain the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices to require the Department of Transportation or a local authority to round speed limits to the nearest five miles per hour of the 85th percentile of the free-flowing traffic. However, in cases in which the speed limit needs to be rounded up to the nearest five miles per hour increment of the 85th-percentile speed, the Department of Transportation or a local authority may decide to instead round down the speed limit to the lower five miles per hour increment.
• If a local authority, after completing an engineering and traffic survey, finds that the speed limit is still more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit that has been reduced an additional five miles per hour for either of the following reasons:
o The portion of highway has been designated as a safety corridor. A local authority shall not deem more than one-fifth of their streets as safety corridors. o The portion of highway is adjacent to any land or facility that generates high concentrations of bicyclists or pedestrians, especially those from vulnerable groups such as children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and the unhoused.
237
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
14 • If a local authority, after completing an engineering and traffic survey, finds that the speed limit is still more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance, retain the current speed limit or restore the immediately prior speed limit if that speed limit was established with an engineering and traffic survey and if a registered engineer has evaluated the section of highway and determined that no additional general purpose lanes have been added to the roadway since completion of the traffic survey that established the prior speed limit. • Notwithstanding any other law, a local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a 25 or 20 miles per hour prima facie speed limit on a highway contiguous to a business activity district when posted with a sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 or 20 miles per hour. These prima facie limits apply only to roads that meet all of the following conditions:
o A maximum of four traffic lanes.
o A maximum posted 30 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the business activity district, if establishing a 25 miles per hour speed limit. o A maximum posted 25 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the business activity district, if establishing a 20 miles per hour speed limit. • The bill prohibits the total reduction in the speed limit from exceeding 12.4 miles per hour from the 85th percentile speeds.

Collision Data
Collision data was obtained from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) for the five-year window between January 2016 and December 2020. Specifically, collision data where the primary collision factor was related to speed were used to augment the analysis in this report. Table 1 shows the collisions by segment and Figure 7 shows the location of speed-related collisions for the five-year window analyzed.

20 Segments Summaries
This section of the report analyzes all roadway segments and provides an explanation for necessary speed adjustments. Where the 85th percentile speed exceeds the posted speed limit by 2.5 mph or greater, additional information is provided to determine the adequacy of the posted speed limit. Other factors such as collision records, roadside conditions, and residential density along the roadway, as well as pedestrian and bicyclist safety are also used in determining the adequacy of the posted speed limits.

Segment 1. Green Island Road from Mezzetta Court to SR 29 The posted speed limit on Green Island Road from Mezzetta Court to SR 29 is 40 mph. In the eastbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 2 mph under the posted limit, while in the westbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 1 mph under the current posted speed limit.

The 85th percentile speeds in both eastbound and westbound directions indicate an initial speed limit of 40 mph which is equal to the current posted speed limit. Therefore, we recommend the City maintain the existing speed limit of 40 mph.

Segment 2. Eucalyptus Drive from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way The posted speed limit on Eucalyptus Drive from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way is 35 mph. In the eastbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 2.0 mph over the posted limit, while in the westbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 3.0 mph over the posted speed limit.

Eucalyptus Drive has a discontinuous Class I path for pedestrians and bikes on the North side of the street.

Napa Junction Magnet Elementary School is also located at the west end of this segment. The school generates pedestrian and bicycle traffic along the roadway.

According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered on roadways with high pedestrian and bicycle traffic to improve safety. Therefore, we recommend the City reduce the speed limit to 25 mph 500-1,000 feet around Napa Junction Elementary and 30 mph outside of the school zone.

Segment 3. Benton Way from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way The posted speed limit on Benton Way from Wetlands Edge Road and Donaldson Way is 25 mph. The observed 85th percentile speeds were 6 mph and 5 mph greater than the posted speed limit in the eastbound and westbound directions, respectively, which would initially indicate a posted speed limit of 30 mph.

This segment of Benton Way has sidewalks and bike lanes in both directions. However, American Canyon Middle School, Boys and Girls Club, American Canyon Co-Op Preschool, and American Canyon Community 244
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
21 Services are located along this roadway segment and attract a substantial level of pedestrian and bicycle activity throughout the day. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Benton Way for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Additionally, AB 321 allows cities to lower speed limits to 15 mph around schools that are located in a residential district on a two-lane road with an existing speed limit of 30 mph or less.

Due to Benton Way’s proximity to schools and other institutions that produce high pedestrian and bicycle traffic, we recommend that the City reduce the speed limit to 15 mph within the school zone and implement traffic calming measures outlined in the American Canyon Complete Streets Safety Assessment (2022). Traffic calming measures at the intersection of Chaucer Lane include adding highvisibility crosswalks along the west and south leg, installing curb extensions on the west leg, and making the curb red to increase the visibility of pedestrians crossing. Benton Way is recommended to remain at 25 mph outside of the school zone.

Segment 4. Donaldson Way West from Donaldson Way to SR 29 The posted speed limit on Donaldson Way West from Donaldson Way to SR 29 is 25 mph. The observed 85th percentile speeds were 6 mph and 7 mph greater than the posted speed limit in the eastbound and westbound directions, respectively, which would initially indicate a posted speed limit of 30 mph.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Additionally, Donaldson Way West has discontinuous sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the street. In accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the 85th percentile speed. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Donaldson Way West for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of Donaldson Way West and lack of continuous pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph.

Segment 5. Donaldson Way East from SR 29 to Newell Drive The posted speed limit on Donaldson Way East from SR 29 to Newell Drive is 25 mph. The 85th percentile speeds were observed to be 7 mph greater than the posted speed limit in both directions, which would initially indicate a posted speed limit of 30 mph.
245
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
22 Donaldson Way East has discontinuous sidewalks on the north side of the street and no bicycle facilities on either side of the roadway. Additionally, a railway crosses this segment of Donaldson Way East just west of Tuscan Oak Trail. Two speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Donaldson Way East for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of Donaldson Way West and lack of continuous pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph.

Segment 6. West American Canyon Road from Wetlands Edge Road to James Road The posted speed limit of West American Canyon Road from Wetlands Edge Road to James Road is 40 mph.

In the eastbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured equal to the posted limit, while in the westbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 1 mph over the current posted speed limit.

West American Canyon Road has a continuous sidewalk on the south side of the street and a discontinuous sidewalk on the north side of the street. This segment has discontinuous unprotected Class II bike lanes on both sides of the street.

The 85th percentile speeds in both eastbound and westbound directions indicate an initial speed limit of 40 mph which is equal to the current posted speed limit. West American Canyon Road’s average daily traffic is less than 25,000 vehicles. According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered by five miles per hour where there are high pedestrian and bicycle traffic to improve safety. Therefore, to improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment, we recommend that the City reduce the speed limit to 35 mph. Due to West American Canyon Road’s low daily traffic volumes1, we also recommend that the City convert the two outside travel lanes to Class I paths or protected Class IV bike lanes (see Chapter 4, Roadway Reconfigurations).

Segment 7. Kimberly Drive from Meadow Bay Drive to SR 29 The posted speed limit of Kimberly Drive from Meadow Bay Drive to SR 29 is 25 mph. In the eastbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 15 mph over the posted limit, while in the westbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 12 mph over the posted speed limit, which would initially indicate a posted speed limit of 35 mph.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Kimberly Drive has sidewalks on both sides of the street and discontinuous bike lanes 1 https://highways.dot.gov/safety/proven-safety-countermeasures/road-diets-roadway-configuration 246
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
23 on both sides. One speed-related collision has been reported on this section of Kimberly Drive for the fiveyear period analyzed for this report. Additionally, the roadway segment collision rate is measured at 1.70 acc/mil.miles which is greater than the average statewide collision rate of similar roadway types (1.12 acc/mil.miles).

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speed, which would be 30 mph. However, due to the segment properties identified above such as the residential nature of Kimberly Drive and lack of bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph. The City should monitor this segment as a Tier I priority for possible traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds.

Segment 8. Wetlands Edge Road from Eucalyptus Drive to Kensington Way The posted speed limit of Wetlands Edge Road from Eucalyptus Drive to Kensington Way is 25 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 8 mph over the posted speed limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 7 mph over the posted speed limit.

The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 30 mph.

More than 13 separate dwelling units exist on the east side of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Wetlands Edge Road has a Class I path on the west side of the street, and sidewalks on the east side of the street. Additionally, there are five marked uncontrolled crosswalks that connect to the San Francisco Bay Trail. This segment has no on-street bicycle facilities, but bicyclists are able to use the Class I path along the west side of the street. One speed-related collision has been reported on this section of Wetlands Edge Road for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of Wetlands Edge Road, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph.

Segment 9. Hummingbird Way from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road The posted speed limit of Hummingbird Way from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road is 25 mph.

In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 4 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured equal to the posted speed limit.

Since the lower of the two 85th percentile speeds can be used to set the speed limit, the 85th percentile speeds in the southbound direction indicate an initial speed limit of 25 mph which is equal to the current posted speed limit. Therefore, we recommend the City maintain the existing speed limit of 25 mph. 247
City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
24 Segment 10. Donaldson Way from Eucalyptus Drive to Benton Way The posted speed limit of Donaldson Way from Eucalyptus Drive to Benton Way is 25 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 3 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 5 mph over the posted speed limit.

Since the lower of the two 85th percentile speeds can be used to set the speed limit, the 85th percentile speeds in the northbound direction indicate an initial speed limit of 30 mph.

According to the California MUTCD 2014 Edition, Revision 3, for cases in which the nearest five miles per hour increment of the 85th percentile speed would require rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest five miles per hour increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used. The 85th percentile speeds in the northbound direction were rounded up to indicate an initial speed limit of 30 mph, which can be rounded down to 25 mph. Therefore, we recommend the City maintain the existing speed limit of 25 mph.

Segment 11. Elliot Drive from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road The posted speed limit of Elliot Drive from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road is 30 mph. In both northbound and southbound directions, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 5 mph over the posted limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 35 mph.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Elliot Drive has sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the roadway. This segment’s connection to two major roadways, West American Canyon Road and Benton Way, generates pedestrian and bicycle traffic. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Elliot Drive for the fiveyear period analyzed for this report.

Segment 12. Elliot Drive from West American Canyon Road to Marla Drive The posted speed limit of Elliot Drive from West American Canyon Road to Marla Drive is 25 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 10 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 12 mph over the posted speed limit, which would initially indicate a posted speed limit of 35 mph. 248

25 More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. The American Canyon Adult Activity Center is also located along Elliot Drive. Elliot Drive has sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the street, although there are areas where the sidewalk narrows to approximately three feet along the segment. In 2023, crosswalk enhancements were added to the crosswalk for a walking trail south of Knightsbridge Way that included high-visibility striping and a pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB). No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Elliot Drive for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

California Assembly Bill No. 43 sets a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph when passing a senior center.

According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered near senior centers and where the pedestrian and bicycle environment poses a risk to safety. Due to the proximity to a senior center and the segment properties identified above such as the residential nature of Elliot Drive and lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph. The City should monitor this segment of Elliot Drive as a Tier I priority for possible traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds.

Segment 13. James Road from Wilson Way to West American Canyon Road The posted speed limit of James Road from Wilson Way to West American Canyon Road is 25 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 7 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 10 mph over the posted speed limit. Since the lower of the two 85th percentile speeds can be used to set the speed limit, the 85th percentile northbound speed would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 30 mph.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. James Road has sidewalks on the east side of the street, however there are two sidewalk gaps – one at Wilson Way and the other at Donaldson Way. The City will close these sidewalk gaps in late 2023. James Road does not have bicycle facilities. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of James Road for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of James Road and lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph. 249

26 Segment 14. Danrose Drive from West American Canyon Road to Mini Drive The posted speed limit of Danrose Drive from West American Canyon Road to Mini Drive is 25 mph. In both northbound and southbound directions, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 5 mph over the posted limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 30 mph.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Danrose Drive has sidewalks on both sides of the street, but it does not have bicycle facilities. One speed-related collision has been reported on this section of Danrose Drive for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of Danrose Drive and lack of bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph.

Segment 15. Broadway Street from American Canyon Road East to Southern City Limits The posted speed limit of Broadway Street from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits is 30 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 10 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 11 mph over the posted speed limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 40 mph.

Broadway Street has sidewalks on one or both sides of the street and discontinuous bike lanes. Veterans Memorial Park, American Canyon Dog Park, and a playground are located along this roadway segment and attract a substantial level of pedestrian and bicycle activity throughout the day. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Broadway Street for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speed, which would be 35 mph. However, due to the segment properties identified above such as the roadway conditions and lack of continuous pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 30 mph. The City should monitor this segment of Broadway Street for possible traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds.

Segment 16. Newell Drive from the Northern Newell Open Space Extents to American Canyon Road East
The posted speed limit on Newell Drive from the Northern Newell Open Space Extents to American Canyon Road East is 35 mph. In both northbound and southbound directions, the 85th percentile speed was 250
City of American Canyon

27 measured at 4 mph over the posted limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 40 mph.

Newell Drive has a Class I path along the west side of the road, and a Class I path on the east side of the road between Silver Oak Trail and American Canyon Road East. There is no sidewalk present on the east side of the street between the northern Newell Open Space extents and Silver Oak Trail. American Canyon High School is also located at the south end of this segment. The school generates pedestrian and bicycle traffic along the roadway.

According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered on roadways with high pedestrian and bicycle traffic to improve safety. Therefore, we recommend the City reduce the speed limit to 25 mph 500-1,000 feet around American Canyon High School and 30 mph outside of the school zone.

Segment 17. Flosden Road from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits The posted speed limit on Flosden Road from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits is 45 mph. The observed 85th percentile speeds were 6 mph and 5 mph greater than the posted speed limit in the northbound and southbound directions, respectively, which would initially require a posted speed limit of 50 mph.

Flosden Road is a major arterial and has high traffic volumes serving an average of over 17,000 vehicles daily. This segment has sidewalks on both sides of the road, but it does not have bicycle facilities. Two speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Flosden Road for the five-year period analyzed for this report. The American Canyon Local Road Safety Plan identified this segment as a high severity roadway due the severity of its collisions from 2017 to 2021.

Segment 18. American Canyon Road East from Broadway Street to the Eastern City Limits
The posted speed limit on American Canyon Road East from Broadway Street to the Eastern City Limits is 45 mph. The observed 85th percentile speeds were 3 mph and 7 mph greater than the posted speed limit in the eastbound and westbound directions, respectively, which would initially require a posted speed limit of 50 mph.

City of American Canyon
2022 Engineering and Traffic Survey
28 American Canyon Road East is a major arterial and has high traffic volumes serving an average of nearly 20,000 vehicles daily. This segment has sidewalks on the south side of the road, but it does not have bicycle facilities. Four speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of American Canyon Road East for the five-year period analyzed for this report. The American Canyon Local Road Safety Plan identified both the segments of American Canyon Road East between Silver Oak Trail and Newell and between Newell and the Eastern City Limits as high severity roadways due the severity of their collisions from 2017 to 2021.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered by five miles per hour where the speed limit is deemed more than reasonable or safe. Therefore, due to the segment properties identified above, such as high traffic volumes and lack of adequate bicycle facilities, and the City-identified safety risk, we recommend that the City reduce the speed limit to 40 mph. 252

Based on the analysis in this report, we recommend the City of American Canyon maintain the existing speed limits for all roadway segments except for Segment 2, Segment 3, Segment 6, Segment 11, Segment 12, Segment 16, and Segment 17. We recommend the following reductions in speed limits:
• 35 mph to 25 mph around the school zone and 30 mph outside the school zone on Eucalyptus Drive from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way (Segment 2) • 30 mph to 15 mph around the school zone and 25 mph outside the school zone on Benton Way from Wetlands Edge Road and Donaldson Way (Segment 3)
• 40 mph to 35 mph on West American Canyon Road from Wetlands Edge Road to James Road (Segment 6)
• 30 mph to 25 mph Elliot Drive from Benton Way to West American Canyon Road (Segment 11) • 35 mph to 25 mph around the school zone and 30 mph outside the school zone on Newell Drive from the Northern Newell Open Space Extents to American Canyon Road East (Segment 16) • 45 mph to 40 mph on Flosden Road from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits (Segment 17)
• 45 mph to 40 mph on American Canyon Road East from Broadway Street to the Eastern City Limits (Segment 18)
In addition, we recommend the City implement traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds and improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment on roadway segments by tier, with Tier I being top priority.

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40802 requires speed limits be justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey conducted in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation. Speed limits are legally required to be established at the nearest five (5) mph increment to the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This means that a segment with an 85th percentile speed of 27.4 miles per hour can be posted for 25 mph, while a segment with a critical speed of 27.5 mph must be posted at 30 mph.

However, Section 627 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) stipulates that other factors besides the 85th percentile speed such as accident records, roadside conditions, residential density along the roadway, as well as pedestrian and bicyclist safety can be considered when determining speed limits.

Additionally, a railway crosses this segment of Donaldson Way East just west of Tuscan Oak Trail. Two speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Donaldson Way East for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the residential nature of Donaldson Way West and lack of continuous pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph.

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40802 requires speed limits be justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey conducted in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation. Speed limits are legally required to be established at the nearest five (5) mph increment to the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This means that a segment with an 85th percentile speed of 27.4 miles per hour can be posted for 25 mph, while a segment with a critical speed of 27.5 mph must be posted at 30 mph.

In the eastbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured equal to the posted limit, while in the westbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 1 mph over the current posted speed limit.

The 85th percentile speeds in both eastbound and westbound directions indicate an initial speed limit of 40 mph which is equal to the current posted speed limit. West American Canyon Road’s average daily traffic is less than 25,000 vehicles. According to AB 43, speeds may be lowered by five miles per hour where there is high pedestrian and bicycle traffic to improve safety. Therefore, to improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment, we recommend that the City reduce the speed limit to 35 mph. Due to West American Canyon Road’s low daily traffic volumes, we also recommend that the City convert the two outside travel lanes to Class I paths or protected Class IV bike lanes.

More than 16 separate dwelling units exist on both sides of the roadway within a quarter mile along this roadway segment. Kimberly Drive has sidewalks on both sides of the street and discontinuous bike lanes on both sides. One speed-related collision has been reported on this section of Kimberly Drive for the five-year period analyzed for this report. Additionally, the roadway segment collision rate is measured at 1.70 acc/mil.miles which is greater than the average statewide collision rate of similar roadway types (1.12 acc/mil.miles).

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speed, which would be 30 mph. However, due to the segment properties identified above such as the residential nature of Kimberly Drive and lack of bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 25 mph. The City should monitor this segment as a Tier I priority for possible traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds.

Since the lower of the two 85th percentile speeds can be used to set the speed limit, the 85th percentile speeds in the northbound direction indicates an initial speed limit of 30 mph.

According to the California MUTCD 2014 Edition, Revision 3, for cases in which the nearest five miles per hour increment of the 85th percentile speed would require rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest five miles per hour increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used. The 85th percentile speeds in the northbound direction was rounded up to indicate an initial speed limit of 30 mph, which can be rounded down to 25 mph. Therefore, we recommend the City maintain the existing speed limit of 25 mph.

Community Facilities: Crash History: Number Rate (acc/mil vehicle miles) The posted speed limit of Broadway Street from American Canyon Road East to the Southern City Limits is 30 mph. In the northbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 10 mph over the posted limit, while in the southbound direction, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 11 mph over the posted speed limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 40 mph.

Broadway Street has sidewalks on one or both sides of the street and discontinuous bike lanes. Veterans Memorial Park, American Canyon Dog Park, and a playground are located along this roadway segment and attract a substantial level of pedestrian and bicycle activity throughout the day. No speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of Elliot Drive for the five-year period analyzed for this report.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627, the City has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speed, which would be 35 mph. However, due to the segment properties identified above such as the roadway conditions and lack of continuous pedestrian and bicycle facilities, we recommend that the City maintain the current speed limit of 30 mph. The City should monitor this segment of Broadway Street for possible traffic calming measures to reduce the 85th percentile speeds.

California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 40802 requires speed limits be justified by an Engineering and Traffic Survey conducted in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation. Speed limits are legally required to be established at the nearest five (5) mph increment to the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. This means that a segment with an 85th percentile speed of 27.4 miles per hour can be posted for 25 mph, while a segment with a critical speed of 27.5 mph must be posted at 30 mph.

In both northbound and southbound directions, the 85th percentile speed was measured at 4 mph over the posted limit. The 85th percentile speeds would initially indicate raising the speed limit to 40 mph.

Newell Drive has discontinuous sidewalks on both sides of the street and does not have bicycle facilities. American Canyon High School is also located at the south end of this segment. The school generates pedestrian and bicycle traffic along the roadway.

According to AB 43, there is a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph near schools, and speeds may be lowered on roadways with high pedestrian and bicycle traffic to improve safety. Therefore, we recommend the City reduce the speed limit to 25 mph 500-1,000 feet around American canyon High School and 30 mph outside of the school zone.

The posted speed limit on American Canyon Road East from Broadway to the Eastern City Limits is 45 mph. The observed 85th percentile speeds were 3 mph and 7 mph greater than the posted speed limit in the eastbound and westbound directions, respectively, which would initially require a posted speed limit of 50 mph.

American Canyon Road East is a major arterial and has high traffic volumes serving an average of nearly 20,000 vehicles daily. This segment has sidewalks on the south side of the road, but it does not have bicycle facilities. Four speed-related collisions have been reported on this section of American Canyon Road East for the five-year period analyzed for this report. The American Canyon Local Road Safety Plan identified both the segments of American Canyon Road East between Silver Oak Trail and Newell and between Newell and the Eastern City Limits as high severity roadways due the severity of their collisions from 2017 to 2021.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

ITEM NUMBER: 16.

TITLE
Parks and Recreation Department User Fee Schedule

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu)on to amend the Parks and Recrea)on User Fee Schedule to update and establish new user fees for the performance of various Parks and Recreation Department services.

CONTACT
Alexandra Ikeda, Parks and Recreation Director

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Parks and Recrea)on Department expressed an interest in conduc)ng a "Fee Study" to: 1) Determine Service Categories for the various programs and services provided; 2) Determine the cost recovery percentages for the services provided; 3) Be6er understand the true and full cost - "Market Rate" of our services; and 4) Develop and update a User Fee Schedule for our services. The last )me the Parks and Recrea)on Department updated its User Fee Schedule was in 2004 per Resolu)on 2004-11. The "Fee Study" project was originally started in FY2019/20 with combined efforts from City staff, the Parks and Community Services Commission, and 110% Inc. - a parks and recrea)on consultant group. In 2021, this project was put on hold due to the COVID19 Pandemic and was resumed in November 2022.

Executive Summary
On December 8, 2022, the Parks and Community Services Commission (PCS) reviewed and recommended 16 Service Categories (A6achment 1) and a Cost Recovery Pyramid Model (A6achment 2) that outlines and defines the cost recovery percentage rates for the services provided through the Parks and Recrea)on Department. Each Service Category was strategically placed within the Cost Recovery Pyramid Model (Pyramid), defining the common language of terms and concepts related to pricing, and setting the cost recovery percentages associated with each level of service. Each ")er" of the Pyramid, one (1) through five (5), is the level of service from the Highest Community Benefit to Highly Individual Benefit - with the goal of ensuring equitable pricing, maintaining the quality of our services, and iden)fying and recognizing core services for the community. This founda)on and upward progression are intended to represent the parks and recrea)on core mission, while also reflec)ng the growth and maturity of our organiza)on as we enhance our programs and facility offerings.
279
On February 9, 2023, the PCS reviewed and commented on:
1) Allocaons Per Service - Iden)fied the "Market Rate" (full cost) for the services provided. This is a cri)cal element to maintain the fiscal health and stability of the City and allows City staff to make informed decisions and choices in the future. The "Market Rate" was calculated by:
a. Determining the - Total Per Program/Per Hour Rate : Program Costs + Division Costs + Direct Costs.
b. Determining the - " Market Rate" per service: Total Per Program/Per Hour Rate ( x) the MAX Cost Recovery Percentage (within the Cost Recovery Pyramid Tier).
2) Fee Comparison - City staff surveyed surrounding organiza)on's service fees and compared them to the City's Market Rate. This cost-benefit analysis assisted City staff in determining the difference between a Market Rate and an "Affordable Rate". The "Affordable Rate" - Resident Rate is the fee for services priced low enough for most residents who can afford to pay and par)cipate in these services. This rate can be influenced by numerous considera)ons, including surrounding organiza)on's service fees, community economic expenses, the socioeconomics of program par)cipants, and cost recovery expecta)ons. The PCS evaluated and compared our Market Rate with the surrounding organization's service fees.
3) Proposed User Fee Schedule - The PCS provided feedback and recommenda)ons for seJng the Residents Rates and Non-Resident Rates for each service, and Nonprofit Rates for Facility Rentals.

In summary, the work completed on February 9, 2023, provided sound feedback and thoughKul recommenda)ons that contributed to the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Schedule that was presented to the PCS on Thursday, March 9, 2023.

On March 9, 2023, the PCS reviewed and commented on the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Worksheet (A6achment 3) - which detailed the fees and charges for services that are provided by the City to our residents and customers. The Worksheet includes: 1) Columns one (1) through five (5) - Memorializing the work that was completed by PCS on February 9, 2023 (program costs, market rate, market rate percentage, current service fee, and cost recovery )er); 2) Column 6 - The cost recovery percentage between the Resident Rate and direct program costs; 3) Column 7 - Resident Rate for American Canyon residents residing within the American Canyon city limits; 4) Column 8 - The program fee increase (percentage) between our current service fee and the Resident Rate; 5) Column 9 - Set the Non-Resident Rate at 15% more than the Resident Rate; and 6) Column 10 - Set the Nonprofit Rate for facility rentals at 25% less than the Resident Rate.

The Parks and Recreation Department User Fee Schedule also includes:
280
Resident Rates will only apply to American Canyon residents residing within the American Canyon city limits. Individuals claiming residency will be required to provide valid iden)fica)on at the )me of registra)on. Residency may be claimed by the following: 1) A California Driver's License with an American Canyon residen)al address; or 2) A photo iden)fica)on card with the individual's first and last name and a u)lity bill matching the individual's identification and the American Canyon residential address.

Non-Resident Rates will apply to anyone residing outside the American Canyon city limits.

Programs, classes, services, camps, and rentals will be 15% more than the Resident Rate and Drop-In programs will be one dollar ($1.00) more than the Resident Rate. All fees will be rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Nonprofit Rates will only apply to American Canyon nonprofit organiza)ons that have a valid State of California 501(c)(3) cer)ficate. This benefit will only apply to facility rental fees as indicated on the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Schedule and set at 25% less than the Resident Rate. All other facility rental rules and regula)ons, and requirements apply - including insurance and refundable deposits. All fees will be rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Nonprofit and Community Partner Community Events - American Canyon nonprofit organiza)ons and community partners are encouraged to host, coordinate, and manage community-based events for American Canyon residents at City parks and facili)es. These community events provide a great community benefit (Tier 1 - within the Cost Recovery Pyramid Model) by enhancing our resident's quality of life, providing unique experiences that celebrate our community's cultural diversity, and showcasing our community's inclusivity. The City values these rela)onships and partnerships - in exchange, the City will provide a City park or facility at no charge to the nonprofit organiza)on or community partner. All other community event rules and regulations, and requirements will apply.

Ac)ve Adults (50+ years) and Ac)ve Military Member Discounts - Per the feedback received at the February 9, 2023 PCS Commission mee)ng, City staff is looking into addi)onal discount op)ons for Ac)ve Adults (50+ years) and ac)ve military members. As of March 9, 2023, City staff and the PCS is recommending that we con)nue to move forward with finalizing the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Schedule, not including the addi)onal discount op)ons.

However, City staff will con)nue exploring these op)ons and will report back to the PCS when we have more information.

Next Steps
The Resolu)on (A6achment 4) amends the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Schedule by upda)ng and establishing new user fees for the performance of various Parks and Recrea)on Department services. This schedule ensures transparency and consistency in the fees charged. City staff intends to review the department's services fees annually - making it a standard opera)ng 281
prac)ce as part of the annual budget process. This prac)ce will help reduce the need to dras)cally increase fees - avoiding fee spikes that are more likely to occur when municipali)es leave fees unchanged for mul)-year periods. Annual fee increases will be automa)cally adjusted to the annual percentage change of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose metropolitan area as published by the Bureau of Labor Sta)s)cs for the 12- month period ending nearest, but at least sixty (60) days prior to the adjustment date.

Upon adop)on of the Resolu)on, the Parks and Recrea)on Department User Fee Schedule will supersede the parks and recrea)on fees outlined within Resolu)on 2004-11, and all parks and recreation services fees shall be adjusted and amended.

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

FISCAL IMPACT
It is an)cipated that the proposed fee adjustments will result in addi)onal revenue to the General Fund of approximately $70,000.00 annually. This revenue is intended to "offset" the costs of exis)ng services being provided by the City. Recovering these costs from service recipients will help free up critical General Fund resources.

WHEREAS, the City’s fiscal policy requires that the City match fees and charges with the costs of providing services, except in cases where the social benefit impact outweighs the objective of full cost recovery; and
WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Department service fees have not been updated since 2004 per Resolution 2004-11; and

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Background & Analysis
The City operates a Water Treatment Plant near Highway 12 (Jameson Canyon Road) to produce and distribute water to customers that meets the highest quality standards set by state and federal regula7ons. There are two treatment processes at the Plant: a conven7onal sedimenta7on and filtra7on treatment process, and a second, state-of-the-art membrane filtra7on process. Together the two processes produce up to 5.5 million gallons of potable water each day for residents and businesses in our water service area, which extends from the Napa/Solano County line to Soscol Creek just north of the Napa Airport.

The Maintenance and U7li7es Department; Water Opera7ons Division provides for the health, safety and comfort of all American Canyon residents, workers and visitors on a daily basis. The services and func7ons provided by the Maintenance and U7li7es Department; Water Opera7ons Division helps make civilized life possible. Our goal is to meet the essen7al needs of the City and our larger service area in a way that brings pride to the community. The Water Opera7ons Division annually supplies approximately 2,600 acre-feet of water to its customers; that produces nearly 850 million gallons per year in addition to responding to over 900 services calls.

The Maintenance and U7li7es Department; Water Opera7ons Division operates and maintains 80 backflow devices and coordinates with property owners on over 950 other backflow devices, 56 recycled water connec7on consis7ng of over 10 miles of pipe, 5,300 potable water connec7ons, 5,700 metering devices, 3 potable water storage tanks, and 2 emergency water 7e-ins. The potable water distribu7on system consists of approximately 82 miles of water mains, two booster pump sta7ons, 831 fire hydrants and 2,080 valves. The principal water transmission mains in the 310
distribution system range in size from 14 to 20-inches.

Tonight, Council will receive a presenta7on of the Maintenance and U7li7es Department, Water Operations Division Update.

Event Type Committee Report
Event Title:* Open Space, Active Transportation & Sustainability (OSATS) Commission meeting Event Report: Vice Mayor Washington and I were the guest speakers at this monthly meeting, summarizing the interim Climate Action Plan. The PowerPoint is attached. This was the official baton-passing from the Ad hoc Committee to OSATS. In addition, the Commission was asked to focus on two objectives: first, to solicit public input on our local residents' views on climate action (and what they're willing to do to achieve our ambitious targets); and second, to identify 2-3 "low hanging fruit" projects, that are relatively easy to achieve in the short term, while the Countywide Climate Action Plan is developed. In the first regard, there will be a survey at the upcoming Earth Day activities; and hopefully, a follow up in a City Manager Newsletter. Public meetings and neighborhood sessions may also be considered. On the second objective, we assured the commissioners they did not need to make that decision until they had some time to review the draft plan. (My preferences would be to develop an informational "dashboard" and consider requiring battery backup with any new solar installations).

Most of the ad hoc committee members were present and provided input. Hopefully, some of us will attend future meetings to answer questions and offer advice.

Event Type Committee Report
Event Title:* Napa Valley Transportation Authority (NVTA) Event Report: NVTA Agenda-setting session: Met with the Executive Director to review the upcoming agenda. In general, the items reflect actions needed to ensure our ongoing major projects can stay on target. One interesting action will be a change order to the Maintenance Facility to allow hydrogen busses to be serviced. This could be a very proactive step, considering what the role hydrogen might play in the future with heavy duty equipment.

Vision Zero Stakeholder Meeting: Attended the online second meeting (of 3) of this taskforce. Here's the link to the PowerPoint presentation. It was a good overview of the 10 "profiles" (patterns such as driving under the influence, broadsides, collisions in crosswalks, etc.) that account for almost 80% of all KSI's (Killed or Serious Injury) incidences. For each profile, the consultants offered a number of engineering, educational and enforcement options to address the condition. We had a good discussion about how to use the data, including educating the public on the implications of Vision Zero--that is, it will negatively impact current vehicle driving behavior. It's important we get out in front of the public and let them know what we're proposing and why.

Event Title:* City Activities and Events
Event Report: Visit Napa Valley Destination Showcase: Attended their annual event that highlights VNV's efforts to market the Napa Valley--and they are doing a great job in terms of revenue per available room. It also gives each jurisdiction a chance to show off what's happening in their city or town. 321
CalCities Divisional Dinner Meeting: Along with the Mayor, attended this meeting in Suisun City. Heard from new State Assembly person Lori Wilson (former Suisun City Mayor) and the CalCities Exec. Director, Carolyn Coleman. Good discussion about personal impacts on becoming a State Elected Official, and the housing issue was also a major topic.

One-on-One with Camille Hamilton Pating: Met with the upcoming instructor for our Diversity/Equity/Inclusion training. Had a good discussion about differences between generations as well as some practical ways of addressing the issue in a public arena.

Event Title:* Community Events and Activities
Event Report: Earth Day, April 22 at Wetlands Edge, 10-noon: Still working with Napa Valley College and ACCPF on this exciting event. The latest is that NVTA will have their all-electric bus on site; there will be several booths representing environmental groups as well as from Napa Valley College's health and culinary programs. Also, the parking lot at Napa Junction Elementary will be available for spillover parking, and 4H is expected to have a BBQ. There will be a volunteer work party hosted by the City, starting at 9am.

Kiwanis Club: Attended the General Membership Meeting (and had a demonstration of auto-emergency defibrillators (AED's), and CPR techniques. Also attended the board meeting and reviewed the upcoming board elections.

AC/DC Meeting: The local Democratic Party Club met online and reviewed voter turnout data from the last election. American Canyon has the lowest turnout of any jurisdiction in Napa County, although we are comparable to the turnouts in Vallejo and Fairfield. We looked at it from a political party perspective (Republicans are turning out at higher rates) and geographic areas (no real variances). We still need to look at turnout based on age groups.

Napa County Democratic Central Committee: Attended the monthly meeting and heard from two candidates vying for Party Secretary.

AC Arts Foundation: the Board met and reviewed upcoming activities, including a painting class on May 23.

Napa Working Families Coalition: attended the monthly meeting, and heard about the housing element successes in Napa City (I connected their consultant with Brent Cooper, to hear what we have been able to accomplish). Also heard an update on their efforts to simplify access to all the new Federal funding that is becoming available for infrastructure and climate action.

grants and possible Climate Impact Fee. Take
advantage of new Federal/State funding
• Monitoring: quarterly review of the Dashboard
• Advocacy: monitor Federal, State and Local actions
• Marketing: outreach to the community (schools,
nonprofits, faith community, etc.) is key
Implementation & Administration
337
• Focus on one item at a time; get it ready for action
and forward it to the Council as soon as it is ready.
• Triage the list of priorities (or add items that aren’t part of the interim plan) pick the item with the
biggest impact that isn’t going to be addressed by
some other agency.
• Generates the biggest savings sooner, and easier to
digest than dealing with everything at the same time.
