Introduction
History and Overview
The Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting District has two purposes: (1) to fund the ongoing protection and preservation of on-site environmental resources and (2) to fund maintenance of streetlights, landscaping, curb-gutter-and-sidewalk, entry monument signs, and related community use infrastructure within the Greenhorn Creek development.

The City of Angels Camp Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek was formed by a majority vote of the City of Angels (”City”) City Council on June 6, 1995. As a result of the subsequent passage of Proposition 218 in 1996, the assessment rate for the existing assessment District (No.1) cannot be increased beyond the previously approved amount of $300.00 per parcel (resulting from the fact that a cost-of-living adjustment mechanism was not explicitly included in the original formation documents.) As costs have continued to increase, this assessment amount no longer generates sufficient revenue to fund Greenhorn Creek’s improvements and services.

Without additional resources and funding, service levels will continue to deteriorate.

As a result, the Angels Camp City Council directed that a new assessment be proposed and voted on by property owners in accordance with Proposition 218 (Article XIIIC and D or the California Constitution). The Council’s intent was to replace the existing Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1 – Greenhorn Creek with a new Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek (“District”) within the existing boundary and including the same improvements and services. If approved, the existing District No. 1 will be dissolved. Further, the proposed Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek is engineered to generate sufficient funding, and include an optional, annual cost-of-living adjustment mechanism to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability of the District.

This Engineer’s Report ("Report") has been prepared to establish the budget for the Improvements (as described below) that will be funded by the proposed assessments and other revenue and to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the District and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels.

This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the “Article”).
(Note: Although the District funds maintenance and services of landscaping, lighting, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development, it does not fund the maintenance or operations of the adjacent Greenhorn Creek golf course, which is maintained and funded by a separate entity using separate funding.)

Engineer’s Report and Continuation of Assessments
In order to allow property owners to ultimately decide whether additional funding should be provided for the Greenhorn Creek Landscape and Lighting District, the Council, on March 15th, 2022, authorized the initiation of proceedings for a proposed benefit assessment to provide local funding for improved maintenance of landscaping, lighting, cultural and wildlife areas, local infrastructure, environmental mitigation services, and related improvements within the Greenhorn Creek development. The proposed assessment was named the Landscape and Lighting District No. 2 – Greenhorn Creek (the “Assessment District”). In May through August of 2022, the District conducted an assessment ballot proceeding pursuant to the requirements of Article XIIID of the California Constitution ("The Taxpayer's Right to Vote on Taxes Act") and the Government Code. During this ballot proceeding, owners of property in the Assessment District were provided with a notice and ballot for the proposed special assessment. A 45-day period was provided for balloting and a public hearing was conducted on August 2, 2022.

It was determined after the conclusion of the public hearing that 84.62% of the weighted ballots returned were in support of the assessment. Since the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessments did not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessments (with each ballot weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which ballot was submitted), the City gained the authority to approve the levy of the assessments for fiscal year 2022-23 and to continue to levy them in future years. The authority granted by the ballot proceeding includes an annual adjustment in the maximum authorized assessment rate equal to the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco Bay Area. Council took action, by Resolution No. 22-44 passed on August 2, 2022, to approve the levy of the assessments for the first time for fiscal year 2022-23.

In each subsequent year for which the assessments will be continued, the City must approve an updated Engineer’s Report for the upcoming fiscal year at a noticed public hearing. As required by the Act, this Report includes a budget for the upcoming fiscal year’s costs and services, an updated assessment roll listing all parcels and their proposed assessments, plans and specifications, a diagram or map of the District, the benefits received by property from the Improvements within the District, and the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels within the District.

This Engineer’s Report ("Report") was prepared by SCI Consulting Group (SCI) to establish the estimated costs for the services and related costs that will be funded by the assessments, to determine the special benefits and general benefits received from the services and to apportion the assessments to lots and parcels within the District based on the estimated special benefit each parcel receives from the services funded by the assessment. 19 Section 8, Item D.

If the City approves this Engineer's Report and the continuation of the assessments it establishes for fiscal year 2024-25, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor for inclusion on the property tax rolls for fiscal year 2024-25.

Legislative Analysis
Proposition 218
This assessment is formed consistent with Proposition 218, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, which was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996, and is now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution. Proposition 218 provides for benefit assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which specially benefits the assessed property.

Proposition 218 describes several important requirements, including a property-owner balloting, for the formation and continuation of assessments. These requirements are satisfied by the process used to establish this assessment.

Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (2008) 44 Cal. 4th 431
In July of 2008, the California Supreme Court issued its ruling on the Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority (“SVTA”). This ruling is significant in that the Court clarified how Proposition 218 made changes to the determination of special benefit. The Court also found that:
 Benefit assessments are for special, not general, benefit  The services and/or improvements funded by assessments must be clearly defined  Special benefits are directly received by and provide a direct advantage to property in the Assessment District
 The assessment paid by property should be proportional to the special benefits it receives from the Improvements
Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (2009) 174 Cal. App. 4th 708 In Dahms v. Downtown Pomona Property (“Dahms”) the Court upheld an assessment that was 100% special benefit (i.e. 0% general benefit) on the rationale that the services and improvements funded by the assessments were directly provided to property in the assessment district. The Court also upheld discounts and exemptions from the assessment for certain properties. 20 Section 8, Item D.

Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (2009) 180 Cal. App. 4th 103 Bonander v. Town of Tiburon (“Bonander”), the 1st District Court of Appeal overturned a benefit assessment approved by property owners to pay for placing overhead utility lines underground in an area of the Town of Tiburon. The Court invalidated the assessments primarily on the grounds that the assessments had been apportioned to assessed property based on the costs within subareas of the assessment district instead of the overall cost of the improvements and the overall proportional special benefits.

Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) 184 Cal. App. 4th 1516 Steven Beutz v. County of Riverside (“Beutz”) the Court overturned an assessment for park maintenance in Wildomar, California, primarily because the general benefits associated with improvements and services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits.

Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego (2011) 199 Cal. App. 4th 416
On September 22, 2011, the San Diego Court of Appeal issued a decision on the Golden Hill Neighborhood Association v. City of San Diego appeal. This decision overturned an assessment for street and landscaping maintenance in the Greater Golden Hill neighborhood of San Diego, California. The court described two primary reasons for its decision. First, like in Beutz, the court found the general benefits associated with services were not explicitly calculated, quantified, and separated from the special benefits. Second, the court found that the City had failed to record the basis for the assessment on its own parcels.

Compliance with Current Law
This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the SVTA decision and with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined; the benefiting property in the District enjoys close and unique proximity, access and views to the Improvements; the Improvements serve as an extension of usable land area for benefiting properties in the District and such special benefits provide a direct advantage to property in the District that is not enjoyed by the public at large or other property.

This Engineer’s Report is consistent with Beutz, Dahms and Greater Golden Hill because the Improvements will directly benefit property in the District and the general benefits have been explicitly calculated and quantified and excluded from the Assessments. The Engineer’s Report is consistent with Bonander because the Assessments have been apportioned based on the overall cost of the Improvements and Services proportional special benefit to each property, rather than the proportional cost to the District to provide the Improvements to specific properties. 21 Section 8, Item D.

Wetlands
The Greenhorn Creek project impacted 4.41 acres of Waters of the United States, triggering the need for a Section 404 Permit under the Clean Water Act. This permit is issued, monitored, and enforced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The project removed 4.41 acres of wetlands and replaced them with 7.67 acres of compensation wetland.

There are three types of wetlands throughout the development:
 Seasonal Wetland: wetlands scattered along drainages below springs and along shorelines
 Emergent Wetland: The emergent zone stretches from the high-water mark to 3 feet below the high-water mark. Notice the edges of the large pond are Emergent Wetlands, but the center of the pond is not classified as wetland. However, the entire pond is classified as Waters of the United States and is protected by several regulatory agencies.  Stream: waterways that exhibit an incised channel
As a requirement of the 404 Permit, the District is required to maintain the exclusionary fencing and informational signage listed in Table 8 below. The District is also required to monitor the water level and notify the golf course when the water level falls below the required minimal level.

Wetland 4b (E-WET 4b) located by the 5th Tee box is unsuccessful due to excessive nutrient loading from fertilizer runoff and insufficient depth. To mitigate these issues, the District treats this pond with beneficial bacteria monthly during the dry season. Coordination with the ACOE is ongoing to find a solution for wetland 4b.

Method of Assessment Apportionment
Method of Apportionment
This section of the Engineer's Report explains the benefits to be derived from the Improvements and the methodology used to apportion the total assessment to properties within the District.

The District consists of certain assessor parcels within the boundaries as defined by the Assessment Diagram referenced in this report and the parcels identified by the Assessor Parcel Numbers listed with the levy roll. The parcel list includes all privately and publicly owned parcels as shown. The method used for apportioning the assessment is based upon the proportional special benefits derived by the properties in the District over and above general benefits conferred on real property or to the public at large. Special benefit and the Assessments are calculated for each parcel in the District using the following process:

1. Identification of special benefit factors derived from the Improvements

2. Calculation and quantification of the general benefits

3. Determination of the relative special benefit within different areas within the Assessment District

4. Determination of the relative special benefit per property type

5. Apportionment of the costs to Assessment and calculation of the Assessment for each individual parcel based upon special benefit; location, property type, property size, property characteristics, improvements on property and other supporting attributes.

Discussion of Benefit
In summary, the Assessments can only be levied based on the special benefit to property. This special benefit is received by property over and above any general benefits. With reference to the requirements for assessments, Section 22573 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements."
Proposition 218, as codified in Article XIIID of the California Constitution, has confirmed that assessments must be based on the special benefit to property and that the value of the special benefits must exceed the cost of the assessment:
"No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel." 34 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 18 ends

The following benefit categories summarize the types of special benefit to residential and other lots and parcels resulting from the installation, maintenance, and servicing of the Improvements to be provided with the assessment proceeds. These categories of special benefit are derived from the statutes passed by the California Legislature and other studies which describe the types of special benefit received by property from maintenance and Improvements such as those within by the District. These types of special benefit are summarized as follows:

1. Proximity to improved landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas, and other public Improvements within the Assessment District.

2. Access to improved landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas, and other public Improvements within the Assessment District.

3. Improved views within the Assessment District.

4. Extension of a property’s outdoor areas and green spaces for properties within close proximity to the Improvements.

5. Improved nighttime visibility and safety from streetlights

6. Creation of individual lots for residential use that, in absence of the Assessments, would not have been created.

In this case, the recent SVTA v. SCCOSA decision provides enhanced clarity to the definitions of special benefits to properties from similar improvements in three distinct areas:
 Proximity
 Expanded or improved access
 Views
The SVTA v. SCCOSA decision also clarifies that a special benefit is a service or improvement that provides a direct advantage to a parcel and that indirect or derivative advantages resulting from the overall public benefits from a service or improvement are general benefits. The SVTA v.

SCCOSA decision also provides specific guidance that park improvements are a direct advantage and special benefit to property that is proximate to a park that is improved by an assessment:

The characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g. proximity to a park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g. general enhancement of the district’s property values).

Proximity, improved access and views, in addition to the other special benefits listed above further strengthen the basis of these assessments.
35 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 19 ends

Moreover, the Dahms decision further clarified that certain services and improvements funded by assessments, that are over and above what otherwise would be provided and that other property in general and the public do not share or receive are 100% special benefit. The assessment-funded services upheld by Dahms included streetscape maintenance and security services.

Special Benefit
SCI assessment engineers have identified the following special benefits:

Proximity and Access to Improved Landscaped, Cultural and Wildlife Areas, and Other Public Areas within the Assessment District
Only the specific properties within close proximity to the Improvements are included in the District. The District has been narrowly drawn to include the properties that receive special benefits from the Improvements. Therefore, property in the District enjoys unique and valuable proximity and access to the Improvements that the public at large and property outside the District do not share.

In absence of the Assessments, the Improvements would not be provided and the landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas in the District would be degraded due to insufficient funding for maintenance, upkeep, and repair. Therefore, the assessments provide Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided. Improvements that are over and above what otherwise would be provided do not by themselves translate into special benefits but when combined with the unique proximity enjoyed by parcels in the District, they provide a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Since the parcels in the District are nearly the only parcels that enjoy close access to the Improvements, they directly benefit from the unique close access to improved landscaping areas that are provided by the Assessments. This is a direct advantage and special benefit to property in the District.

Improved Views within the Assessment District
The District, by maintaining permanent public improvements funded by the Assessments in the District, provides improved views to properties in the District. The properties in the District enjoy close and unique proximity, access and views of the specific Improvements funded in the District; therefore, the improved and protected views provided by the Assessments are another direct and tangible advantage that is uniquely conferred upon property in the District. 36 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 20 ends

Extension of a Property’s Outdoor Areas and Green Spaces for Properties within Close Proximity to the Improvements
The landscaped, cultural and wildlife areas within the District provide additional outdoor areas that serve as an effective extension of the land area for proximate properties. The Improvements, therefore, provide an important, valuable, and desirable extension of usable land area for the direct advantage and special benefit of properties with good and close proximity to the Improvements.

Improved Nighttime Visibility and Safety from Streetlights Well maintained, effective street lighting provides special benefit to proximate parcels, within the range of the light, because it allows for safer and improved use of the property in the evenings and night. Street lighting also provides special benefit as it increases neighborhood safety and reduces the likelihood of crime on the proximate parcels.

Creation of Individual Lots for Residential Use that, in Absence of the Assessments, Would Not Have Been Created
In the District, the original owner/developer(s) of the property within the District agreed unanimously to the Assessments. The Assessments provide the necessary funding for improvements that were required as a condition of development and subdivision approval.

Therefore, such Assessments allowed the original property to be subdivided and for development of the parcels to occur. As parcels were sold, new owners were informed of the Assessments through the title reports, and in some cases, through Department of Real Estate “White Paper” reports that the parcels were subject to assessment. Purchase of property was also an “agreement” to pay the Assessment. Therefore, in absence of the Assessments, the lots within most of the District would not have been created. These parcels, and the improvements that were constructed on the parcels, receive direct advantage and special benefit from the Assessments.

General Versus Special Benefit
Proposition 218 requires an assessing agency to separate the general benefits from the special benefits of a public improvement or service, estimate the quantity of each in relation to the other, and limit the assessment amount to the portion of the improvement or service costs attributable to the special benefits.

In the legal decisions known as Golden Hill and Beutz, the California courts have determined that there typically will be some general benefit associated with parks, landscaping and lighting maintenance and improvements because people who don’t reside or own property in an assessment district do receive some, albeit minimal, benefit from the Improvements. 37 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 21 ends

The separation and quantification of general and special benefits requires an apportionment of the cost of the service or improvement between the two benefit types. General benefits cannot be funded by assessment revenue. Rather, the funding must come from other sources. The Engineer, therefore, has analyzed the quantity to which the general public may reasonably be expected to use or benefit from the improved and maintained areas in relation to the quantity or extent to which property owners within the assessment district use and benefit from the improved and maintained areas.

Although the improved areas may be available to the general public at large, they have been specifically designed, located, and created to provide additional and improved public resources for property inside the District, and not the public at large. Other properties that are either outside the District, or within the District and not assessed, do not enjoy the unique proximity, access, views, and other special benefit factors described previously. These Improvements are of special benefit to properties located within the District because they provide a direct advantage to properties in the District that would not be provided in absence of the Assessments.

There is no widely-accepted or statutory formula for calculating general benefit. General benefits are benefits from improvements or services that are not special in nature, are not “particular and distinct” and are not “over and above” benefits received by other properties. The SVTA vs.

SCCOSA decision provides some clarification by indicating that general benefits provide “an indirect, derivative advantage” and are not necessarily proximate to the improvements.

In other words:

In any case, following is a description of the separation and quantification of general benefit in the District. In each step of this analysis, the more liberal assumptions and determinations have been used in order to ensure that the total calculated general benefit is liberally determined.

A widely-accepted formula to estimate the general benefit is listed below:

Total
Benefit = General Benefit + Special Benefit
38 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 22 ends

Benefit to Property Outside the District
Properties within the District receive almost all of the special benefits from the Improvements because properties in the District enjoy unique proximity and access to the Improvements that is not enjoyed by other properties or the public at large. Further, the District has significant physical barriers, such as roads, fences, and open space that impede the benefit from the Improvements by properties outside the District. There are only two points of ingress/egress into the District and these points are designed to limit random access. Developed residential properties only exist outside the District along a portion of the northern boundary. Nonetheless, some properties within immediate adjacent proximity of the Improvements, but outside of the boundaries of the District, may receive some benefit from the Improvements. These benefits include improved views, but do not include improved proximity or access, extension of outdoor areas, nor improved lighting. Since these adjacent properties have limited direct view and access, and only receive a small portion of the benefits, a 25% reduction factor is used. This benefit is conferred to properties outside the District’s boundary. It contributes to the overall general benefit calculation and will not be funded by the Assessments.

The general benefit to property outside of the District is calculated as follows with the parcel and data analysis performed by SCI Consulting Group.

Total General Benefit to Properties Outside of the District = 2% Benefit to Property within the Assessment District
The “indirect and derivative” benefit to property within the District is particularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all benefit within the Assessment District is special because the Improvements are clearly “over and above” and “particular and distinct” when compared with the baseline level of service and the unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiting properties in the District.

Assumptions:
43 parcels outside and adjacent to the District
526 parcels in the Assessment District
Calculation
General Benefit to Property outside the Improvement District= (43/(43+526)) * 25% = 2%

Nevertheless, the SVTA decision indicates there may be general benefit “conferred on real property located in the district.” A measure of the general benefits to property within the District is the percentage of land area within the District that is publicly owned, open to the public, and used for regional purposes such as major roads, rail lines, hospitals, and other regional facilities because such properties, while physically within the District, are used for regional purposes and could provide indirect benefits to the public at large. In this case, essentially 0% of the land area is used for such regional purposes.

Total General Benefit to Properties Inside of the District = 0% Benefit to the Public at Large
This Engineer’s Report uses this general benefit measure as the third component of the overall general benefit quantification. In the Beutz case, the Court opined those general benefits from parks and recreation facilities could be quantified by measuring the use of parks and recreation facilities by people who do not live within the assessment boundaries. Therefore, the general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the District’s landscaped, cultural, wildlife and lighting facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers, or property owners in the District.

The golf course attracts members of the public at large into the primarily residential District.

Hence, the “Public at Large” within the District used to evaluate this component of general benefit is primarily made up of non-resident golfers.

Some of the Improvements are proximate to the Greenhorn Creek golf course and enjoyed in part by non-resident golfers. However, it should be noted, however, that there are wetlands, cultural areas, and wildlife areas distributed throughout the District, they are in close proximity accessible to all the parcels and contribute to improved views. Finally, the maintenance and improvements to the golf course clearly provide additional, offsetting special benefit to the District’s Improvements.

Based upon observations and records obtained from the golf course operator, use by persons who do not own property within the District are approximately 50% of the persons who use the golf course. Approximately 30,000 rounds of golf are played a year at the golf course. 30,000 rounds * 50% non-resident = 15,000 rounds by non-resident golfers 15,000 rounds/365 days per year = 41 golfers per day
41 non-resident golfers/1,000 approximate total population = 5% 40 Section 8, Item D.

In addition, the street lighting benefits both pedestrians and drivers who reside in the District area as well as those pedestrians and drivers from outside the District (i.e., those walking or driving through or into the District). Because the District involves residential subdivisions with no major arterial roads and few through roads, the vast majority of the walking and driving in the District at night is by those who reside in the area. City staff persons, as well as residents and golf course staff over the years have observed the drivers and pedestrians in the District area. Based on these observations, and experience with other similar projects, the Engineer has determined that approximately 5% of the drivers and pedestrians on the District streets with lighting reside outside the District.
5% General Benefit to non-resident night-time drivers
With 5% of golf course benefit by non-residents and 5% benefit from street lighting to nonresidents, the total general benefit to the public at large is:

Total General Benefit to Public at Large = 5% + 5% = 10% Total General Benefits
Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately 15% (rounded up from 12%) of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the assessment.

Quantification of General Benefit Contribution from Other Sources As a result, at least 15% of the District budget must come from sources other than the assessment.

This contribution offsets any general benefits from the Assessment services. This general benefit contribution offset comes from several sources, including the Greenhorn Creek golf course, the City of Angels Camp, and the effective value of the original development. This general benefit contribution exceeds the 15% required general benefit.

General Benefit =
2 % (Outside the District)
+ 0 % (Property within the District)
+ 10 % (Public at Large)
= 12% (Round up to 15%)

General Benefit Contribution from Greenhorn Golf Course The Greenhorn Creek Golf Course owns, maintains, rehabilitates, and improves the golf course that is proximate and directly adjacent to the Improvements areas maintained by the District, and is largely funded by course use fees and an annual fee from members. The maintenance of the golf course serves to contribute to the maintenance of the District Improvements in significant ways. For example, maintenance of the landscaping proximate to the District’s improved areas provides for improved views, extension of improved areas, weed control, species control, rodent control, and other types of maintenance. The golf course’s pathways provide improved access to the District Improvements. The golf course’s drainage system manages water flow and helps maintain the improved areas. The golf course itself provides a boundary for the Improvements and retains them. The contribution from the Greenhorn Creek golf course towards general benefit from the services described in this section is conservatively estimated to be worth at least 10% of overall costs and benefits.

General Benefit Contribution from Original Development of the Improvements The value of the construction of the Improvements can be quantified and monetized as an annuity. Since this construction was performed and paid for by non-assessment funds, this “annuity” can be used to offset general benefit costs and is conservatively estimated to contribute at least 10%.

Therefore, the total required general benefit is conservatively quantified at 15% (calculated above) which is more than offset by the total non-assessment contribution towards general benefit of 20%.

Zones of Benefit
The boundaries of the District were carefully drawn to include the properties in the District and currently receive special benefit from the Improvements.

The SVTA vs. SCCOSA decision indicates:

General Benefit contribution for non-assessment
sources =
10 % (from golf course)
+ 10 % (from initial development)
= 25% (Total General Benefit contribution)

“In a well-drawn district — limited to only parcels receiving special benefits from the improvement — every parcel within that district receives a shared special benefit. Under section 2, subdivision (i), these benefits can be construed as being general benefits since they are not “particular and distinct” and are not “over and above” the benefits received by other properties “located in the district.”
“We do not believe that the voters intended to invalidate an assessment district that is narrowly drawn to include only properties directly benefitting from an improvement.

Indeed, the ballot materials reflect otherwise. Thus, if an assessment district is narrowly drawn, the fact that a benefit is conferred throughout the district does not make it general rather than special. In that circumstance, the characterization of a benefit may depend on whether the parcel receives a direct advantage from the improvement (e.g., proximity to park) or receives an indirect, derivative advantage resulting from the overall public benefits of the improvement (e.g., general enhancement of the district’s property values).” In the District, the advantage that each parcel receives from the Improvements is direct, and the boundaries are narrowly drawn to include only parcels that benefit from the assessment.

Therefore, the even spread of assessment throughout the narrowly drawn district is indeed consistent with the OSA decision.

Within the District, zones of benefit are not justified or needed because the Improvements are provided relatively evenly across the entire area and for all parcels. Parcels of similar type in the District receive similar benefits on a per parcel and land area basis. Therefore, zones of benefit are not justified.

Method of Assessment
As previously discussed, the Assessments will provide comprehensive Improvements that will clearly confer special benefits to properties in the District. The allocation of special benefits to property is partially based on the type of property and the size of property. These benefits can also partially be measured by the occupants on property in the District because such parcel population density is a measure of the relative benefit a parcel receives from the Improvements.

It should be noted that many other types of “traditional” assessments also use parcel population densities to apportion the Assessments. For example, the assessments for sewer systems, roads and water systems are typically allocated based on the population density of the parcels assessed.

Therefore, the apportionment of benefit is reasonably based on the type of parcel, the size of parcels and the population density of parcels.
43 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

The next step in apportioning Assessments is to determine the relative special benefit for each property. This process involves determining the relative benefit received by each property in relation to a single-family home, or, in other words, on the basis of Single-Family Equivalents (SFE).

This SFE methodology is commonly used to distribute Assessments in proportion to estimated special benefit and is generally recognized as providing the basis for a fair and appropriate distribution of Assessments. For the purposes of this Engineer’s Report, all properties are assigned an SFE value, which is each property’s relative benefit in relation to a single-family home on one parcel. In this case, the "benchmark" property is the single-family detached dwelling which is one Single Family Equivalent or one SFE.

Assessment Apportionment
The Improvements provide direct and special benefit to properties in the District. The District is primarily residential single family development. As such, each single family residential property receives similar benefit from the Improvements. Therefore, the Engineer has determined that the appropriate method of apportionment of the benefits derived by all parcels is on a dwelling unit basis. All improved properties or properties proposed for development are assigned an SFE factor equal to the number of dwelling units developed or planned for the property.

Residential Properties
Certain residential properties in the Assessment Area that contain a single residential dwelling unit and are on a lot of less than or equal to one acre are assigned one Single Family Equivalent or 1.0 SFE. Traditional houses, zero-lot line houses, and town homes are included in this category of single family residential property. Properties with more than one detached single family residence on one acre or less are assigned 1.0 SFE per single family home.

Properties with more than one residential unit (other than parcels with more than one detached single family dwelling as described above) are designated as multi-family residential properties.

These properties benefit from the Improvements in proportion to the number of dwelling units that occupy each property, the average number of people who reside in multi-family residential units versus the average number of people who reside in a single family home and the relative size of each type of residential dwelling unit. The population density factors for the area in City of Angels Camp encompassing the District, as depicted in the following table, provide the basis for determining the SFE factors for residential properties. 44 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 28 ends

Using the total population in a certain property type in the area of the District from the 2020 Census and dividing it by the total number of such households, finds that approximately 2.16 persons occupy each single family residence, whereas an average of 2.23 persons occupy each multi-family residence. The ratio of 2.16 people on average for a single family residence and 2.23 people per dwelling unit in a multi-family residence unit result in a population density equivalent of 1.03 for multi-family residences. Next, the relative building areas are factored into the analysis because special benefits are related to the average size of a property, in addition to average population densities. For a multi-family residence, this calculation results in an SFE factor of 0.37 per dwelling unit.

Table 10 – Residential Property Types
Source: 2020 Census, City of Angels, and property dwelling size information from the Calaveras County Assessor data and other sources.

Commercial Properties
Commercial properties are generally open and operated for more limited times, relative to residential properties. Therefore, the relative hours of operation can be used as a measure of benefits since employee density also provides a measure of the relative benefit to property. Since commercial properties are typically open and occupied by employees approximately one-half the time of residential properties, it is reasonable to assume that commercial land uses receive onehalf of the special benefit on a land area basis relative to single family residential property.

The average size of a single family home with 1.0 SFE factor in the Service Area is 0.25 acres.

Therefore, a commercial property with 0.25 acres receives one-half the relative benefit, or a 0.50 SFE factor.

The SFE values for various commercial land uses are further defined by using average employee densities because the special benefit factors described previously are also related to the average number of people who work at commercial properties.

To determine employee density factors, this Report utilizes the findings from the San Diego County Association of Governments Traffic Generators Study (the “SANDAG Study”) because these findings were approved by the State Legislature which determined the SANDAG Study to be a good representation of the average number of employees per acre of land area for commercial and industrial properties. As determined by the SANDAG Study, the average number of employees per acre for commercial and industrial property is 24. As presented in Figure 1, the SFE factors for other types of businesses are determined relative to their typical employee density in relation to the average of 24 employees per acre of commercial property.

Table 11 – Commercial/Industrial Benefit Assessment Factors

1. Source: San Diego Association of Governments Traffic Generators Study, University of California, Davis and other studies and sources.

2. The SFE factors for commercial and industrial parcels indicated above are applied to each fourth acre of land area or portion thereof. Additional acres over five for commercial, office, shopping center and industrial parcels are calculated per acre or portion thereof. (Therefore, the minimum assessment for any assessable parcel in these categories is the SFE Units listed herein.) Vacant/Undeveloped Properties
The Improvements will make the land in the District more desirable and useable. The benefit to undeveloped properties is determined to be proportional to the corresponding benefits for similar type developed properties, but at a lower rate due to the lack of improvements on the property. A measure of the benefits accruing to the underlying land is the average value of land in relation to Improvements for developed property. An analysis of the assessed valuation data from the City of Angels Camp found that approximately 15% of the assessed value of improved properties is classified as the land value. It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that approximately 15% of the benefits are related to the underlying land and 85% are related to the improvements and the day-to-day use of the property. Using this ratio, the SFE factor for vacant/undeveloped parcels is 0.15 per parcel.

Other Property Types
For certain properties, additional analysis and calculation of special benefit is required, as indicated below:

Golf Course Fairways and Greens
Golf course fairways and greens parcels do provide special benefit in the form of improved views and beautification to all parcels within the District – however, they also receive some special benefit from the Improvements as enjoyed by golfers on these parcels. The fairways and green parcels include:

Parcel Acres
058-045-002-000 19.56
058-046-013-000 35.14
058-046-015-000 39.47
058-047-005-000 8.84
058-047-009-000 25.37
058-047-012-000* 28.55
058-060-006-000** 1.74
Total acreage = 158.67
*Note: mixed-use parcel – 2.5 sfe added for Caddy Shack Rental **Note: entry way parcel with similar benefit to fairways and greens The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 21 golfers on the course at anytime.

The special benefit is calculated as such:
21 golfers/2.16 household residents = 9.72 Single Family Equivalents of special benefit

9.72 SFE’s/158.67 acres = 0.0612 SFEs/ acre
Fitness, Tennis, Basketball, Pool, etc.

Fitness and sport court parcels receive special benefit from the improvements similar to other parcels. The fitness and court sport parcels include:

Parcel Acres
058-071-014-000 1.91
058-043-005-000 0.33
058-080-019-000 1.36
Total acreage = 3.60
The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 5 users on these facilities at anytime.
47 Section 8, Item D.

City of Angels Camp
Landscaping and Lighting District No. 2 - Greenhorn Creek Engineer’s Report, FY 2024-25

Page 31 ends

The special benefit is calculated as such:
5 users/2.16 household residents = 2.314 SFEs of special benefit

2.314 SFE’s/3.60 acres = 0.6430 SFEs/ acre
Club house (Restaurant, Pro Shop, and Wedding Facilities) The Club house parcel does provide special benefit similar to the other parcels. The club house parcel include:

Parcel Acres
058-046-007-000 2.86
Total acreage = 2.86
The Engineer has conducted an analysis and determined that there are typically 7 golfers in Club house, 15 restaurant customers, 1 pro shop customers, and 2 special event guests anytime at anytime.

The special benefit is calculated as such:

The benefit to golfers + benefit to restaurant customers + benefit to pro shop customers + benefit to special event guests
(7 golfers + 18 non-golfers)/2.16 household residents = 11.5740 SFEs of special benefit

11.5740 SFE’s/2.86 acres = 4.0468 SFEs/ acre
Annual Cost Indexing
The maximum assessment rate within the Improvement District may increase in future years based on the annual increase, if any, in the Northern California (San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward) Consumer Price Index-All Urban Consumers (the “CPI”) from December to December of each year.

Duration of Assessment
The Assessments, will be continued every year after their formation, so long as the public Improvements need to be maintained and improved, and the City requires funding from the Assessments for these Improvements in the District. As noted previously, the Assessment can continue to be levied annually after the City Council approves an annually updated Engineer’s Report, budget for the Assessment, Improvements to be provided, and other specifics of the Assessment. In addition, the City Council must hold an annual public hearing to continue the Assessment.

Appeals of Assessments Levied to Property
Any property owner who feels that the Assessment levied on the subject property is in error as a result of incorrect information being used to apply the foregoing method of assessment may file a written appeal with the City of Angels Camp City Administrator or their designee. Any such appeal is limited to correction of an Assessment during the then-current Fiscal Year and applicable law. Upon the filing of any such appeal, the City Administrator or their designee will promptly review the appeal and any information provided by the property owner. If the City Administrator or their designee finds that the Assessment should be modified, the appropriate changes shall be made to the Assessment Roll. If any such changes are approved after the Assessment Roll has been filed with the County for collection, the City Administrator or their designee is authorized to refund to the property owner the amount of any approved reduction. Any dispute over the decision of the City Administrator or their designee shall be referred to the Angels Camp City Council, and the decision of the City Council shall be final.

Assessment Funds Must Be Expended within the District
The net available Assessment funds, after incidental, administrative, financing, and other costs shall be expended exclusively for Improvements within the boundaries of the District or as described herein, and appropriate incidental and administrative costs as defined in the Plans and Specifications section.

Oversight, Annual Review, and Accountability
The Assessment proceeds and expenditures will also be reviewed and overseen by the City Council. In addition, the Assessment budget, Assessment rate, Assessment CPI increase, and Improvements will be reviewed at a noticed public hearing by the Councill and public.

In general, the public review and accountability process is as follows: The Assessments will not automatically continue and will require specific actions, reports, and procedures for continuation.

In each subsequent year for which the Assessments will be levied, the Council must preliminarily approve at a public meeting a budget and costs for the upcoming Fiscal Year’s Improvements, an updated annual Engineer’s Report, and an updated Assessment roll listing all parcels and their Assessments. At this meeting, the Council will also call for the publication in a local newspaper of a legal notice of the intent to continue the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year and set the date for the noticed public hearing. At the annual public hearing, members of the public can provide input to the Council prior to the Council’s decision on ordering the Improvements and the Assessments for the next Fiscal Year.

Assessment
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Angels Camp, County of Calaveras, California, pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (collectively “the Act”), adopted its Resolution Initiating Proceedings For the Formation of the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District; WHEREAS, the Resolution directed the undersigned Engineer of Work to prepare and file a report presenting a description of the Improvements, an estimate of the costs of the Improvements, a diagram for the Assessment District and an assessment of the estimated costs of the Improvements upon all assessable parcels within the Assessment District, to which Resolution and the description of the Improvements therein contained, reference is hereby made for further particulars;
NOW, THEREFORE, the undersigned, by virtue of the power vested in me under the Act and the order of the City Council of the City of Angels Camp, hereby make the following assessment to cover the portion of the estimated cost of the Improvements, and the costs and expenses incidental thereto to be paid by the Assessment District.

The amount of the costs of the Improvements and related incidental expense to be paid by the District for the fiscal year 2024-25 is as follows:

I do hereby assess and apportion the net amount of the cost and expenses of the Improvements, including the related incidental expenses, upon the parcels and lots of land within the District, in accordance with the special benefits to be received by each parcel or lot, from the Improvements, and more particularly set forth in the Cost Estimate and Method of Assessment in the Report.

The assessment is subject to an annual adjustment tied to the Consumer Price Index-U for the San Francisco Bay Area as of December of each succeeding year (the “CPI”). Based on the preceding annual adjustments, the maximum assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 per Single Family Equivalent unit (SFE) was $681.72. The annual change in the CPI from December 2022 to December 2023 was 2.62%. Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rate for Fiscal Year 2024-25 has been increased by 2.62%, from $681.72 to $699.58 per SFE. The estimate of cost and budget in this Engineer's Report proposes assessments for Fiscal Year 2024-25 at the rate of $650.00 per SFE unit, which is below the maximum authorized rate.

The assessment is made upon the parcels or lots of land within the District in proportion to the special benefits to be received by the parcels or lots of land, from the Improvements.

Each parcel or lot of land is described in the Assessment Roll by reference to its parcel number as shown on the Assessor's Maps of the County of Calaveras for the fiscal year 2024-25. For a more particular description of the parcel, reference is hereby made to the deeds and maps on file and of record in the office of the County Recorder of Calaveras County.

I hereby place opposite the Assessor Parcel Number for each parcel or lot within the Assessment Rolls, the amount of the assessment for the fiscal year 2024-25 for each parcel or lot of land within the District.

RE: Rural Recreation and Tourism Program - Utica Park Lightner Mine Expansion Project Update RECOMMENDATION:

Acknowledge and accept updates.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

A4: Economic Development: Promote a wide variety of economic opportunities consistent with the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. The proposed Rural Recreation and Tourism grant park project is intended to increase tourism through park enhancements including a stage, historical (cultural) interpretation trail, and improved pavilion for outdoor events. A new children’s playground, adult/teen exercise equipment, bocce courts, hardcourts, improved pavilion and stage are intended to encourage social interactions with local theatre productions, local musical performances, movies in the park and enhanced outdoor spaces for other local events.

A5: Economic Development: Maintain and enhance the city's economic vitality while conserving the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources. See above.

B2 Community Identity: Design new development to be compatible with the natural, scenic, and cultural resources and rural character of Angels Camp. The Community Stakeholders Design Committee will assist with park design to ensure compatibility with cultural resources and rural character.

C7: Public Facilities and Services: Maintain or increase the levels of service currently available within Angels Camp for park facilities and infrastructure. The project will increase the size of Utica Park by 3.8± acres, add or improve numerous park amenities, and upgrade and expand infrastructure increasing the level of park facilities available to all age groups and ability levels for residents and visitors.

BACKGROUND:

Consistent with direction from the City Council, attached is an update on the above-captioned project through April 30, 2024.

Boyer was selected to design and build the project. A notice to proceed will be issued upon City approval of the site layout plans, receipt of initial construction documents for the first project phase, and issuance of initial city permits for the first project phase.
 Refinements to the conceptual site plan approved by the City Council at its April 16, 2024, were refined on April 30, 3024 in response to the final survey completed in April.  A groundbreaking is tentatively scheduled the third week in May (following the Fair) or the first week in June.  Playground equipment has been ordered. A walk-through with the playground consultant to refine playground grading limits will occur on May 2, 2024.

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-1346  Wood for the park benches from the walnut trees is at the mill, being milled and dried. Upon completion, the milled wood will be converted into benches.
 Parties interested in sponsoring a memorial tree or a memorial bench are encouraged to submit their name to [email protected]. To date, there are six individuals expressing interest. Signing up does not commit individuals to a purchase. Interested persons will be notified once costs are determined.  Staff is requesting that anyone with a brand from a local ranch contact [email protected]. The city would like to incorporate local brands into one or more of the benches being constructed for the park. Staff has three sign-ups for local brands and has reached out to the Cattleman’s Association (Nicolas Valente) and Farm Bureau (Toni Ann Fischer) for additional interest.
 The interpretive sign committee met April 30, 2024. The Committee is editing content and selecting photos for 8 interpretive signs. Committee members are Judith Marvin (historian), Tad Folendorf (historian), James G.

Respess, Ph.D. (graphic design), Amy Augustine, Rebecca Callen. Interpretive sign language for the Mother Lode Belt, Lightner Mine, Utica Mine, persons associated with the mines, and Nationalities represented in the has been drafted. Overview of a working mine, and supplemental information related to Mark Twain is pending. QR codes are also proposed for various locations and on interpretive signs to provide additional information. The concept sign design was presented to the Community Stakeholders Design Committee 3/20/24. Signage will be brought back to the Stakeholders Design Committee in June.  Monuments, Dedications, and Relocations. Staff has already met with all individuals or organizations associated with each monument to ensure they are handled properly. Surviving relatives of fallen soldiers on the veteran’s memorial plaque have been contacted individually and their input will be followed for any potential relocation and rededication. Boyer is aware of all restrictions related to moving and conserving park monuments.  The “gateway” monumentation (mining equipment) near Napa was reviewed by the City of Angels Planning Commission. The Planning Commission approved relocating the equipment. Interpretive signage for the equipment will be added at its new location.
 Boyer is contracting with a monument expert to rehabilitate the Mark Twain Statue. Staff is working with Dave Sutton to relocate the statue to the Angels Camp Museum where it will be refurbished. Residents and visitors will be able to watch the refurbishing outside the Carriage House at the museum. The base of the statue will remain in the park during refurbishing. Based on the children’s playground design and location it is expected that the statue will be relocated north of its current location.  PG&E has asked to donate trees for the park and the city has accepted.  Staff has identified and is meeting with a landscape designer May 3, 3024, to discuss landscaping options.

DATE: May 7, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON ANIMAL KEEPING
RECOMMENDATION:

Discuss and direct staff on citizens' ability to keep animals on their properties and determine if any changes should be made. Direct staff to take recommendations to the Planning Commission or directly to the City Council.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

Conservation and Open Space. Protect the health and safety of people and property in the city from natural and man-made hazards. Animal-keeping ultimately comes down to maintaining animals in a manner that does not create a public nuisance (i.e., health hazard) and neighborhood disruptions.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Angels adopted Ordinance 511 on September 21, 2021. This ordinance introduces the definition and permissive use of “Animal Keeping” (small and large). Prior to this ordinance, the city’s code was silent on the ability of any animal keeping on any property, regardless of zoning. The ordinance was enacted in response to code complaints and the desire of residents to raise their own food during the pandemic.

The code definitions included hoofed and non-hoofed animals and limits total numbers of each based on parcel size and zoning. Around the same time, Ordinance 510 was also approved that expanded the use of Conditional Use Permits (generally requiring a public hearing before the Planning Commission) to include Administrative Use Permits (generally issued in-house without a public hearing). While not specific to animal keeping, the administrative conditional use permit allows an administrative pathway for animal-keeping which currently is addressed as follows:

Zoning District Permitted Administrative Conditional Use Permit
Single-family residential -- Small animal keeping
Large animal keeping
Residential Estate, one acre
minimum
Small animal keeping Large animal keeping

Residential Estate, five acre
minimum
Small animal keeping
Large animal keeping
--
Special Planning Small animal keeping
Large animal keeping

All other zoning districts Not addressed Not addressed
DISCUSSION:

The city of Angels Camp has had a long-standing history of animal keeping. As the population has increased and changed over time, complaints regarding hoofed and non-hoofed animal keeping increased and in 2021, staff were directed to create a pathway for animal keepers mainly chickens, limited hoofed animals for youth agricultural projects, and as a lower-cost option for personal food access.

In practice, conditional use permits have not been requested by animal keepers in compliance with any of these sections, and the city is made aware of any animal keeping when there are complaints to Code Compliance regarding a public nuisance as defined in Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Chapter 1.17.

In discussing the density limits for animal keeping with Environmental Health, which oversees animal welfare issues throughout the county, including within the city, they commented that the city limit is very conservative. However, increasing the number of animals, especially for small-sized lots, would not change the real culprit, which is complaint-driven nuisances that are many times valid.

Current Code Information
Definitions related to Animal Keeping added to 17.09:

Animal keeping. See small animal keeping, large animal keeping, limited small animal keeping, limited large animal keeping.

Limited large-animal keeping. “Limited large-animal keeping” shall mean that the keeping of certain large animals that may be permitted subject to the following density standards:

One large hoofed-animal unit = one domesticated hoofed animal. 68 Section 9, Item B.

C IT Y H AL L
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
Limited small-animal keeping. “Limited small-animal keeping” shall mean that the keeping of the following small-to-moderate sized animals that may be permitted subject to the following density standards: One small nonhoofed animal unit = twelve poultry, twelve rabbits, or any combination of poultry and rabbits totaling twelve individual animals. One small hoofed-animal unit = two sheep or two goats.

Small-animal keeping. “Small animal keeping” shall mean raising or keeping small non-hoofed-animals customarily raised or kept on farms including, but not limited to poultry, rabbits. It also includes small or moderate-sized hoofed animals including, but not limited to sheep, goats.

L. Limited Large animal keeping on parcels one acre or greater in size

1.17.030 Public nuisance--Generally.

The term "public nuisance" as used in this chapter means the creation or maintenance of any condition upon private or public property which is injurious to health, or indecent or offensive to the senses, or an obstruction to the free use of property, or a detriment to property values, or contributes to blight, so as to interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property by an entire community or neighborhood, or by any considerable number of persons, or unlawfully obstructs the free passage or use, in the customary manner, of any public park, square, or street.

It is unlawful and it shall be a public nuisance for any person owning, leasing, occupying or having charge or possession of any premises or property in the city to maintain such premises or property in such a manner described in this section through Section 1.17.220. It is unlawful and it shall be a public nuisance for any member of the public to create, cause, commit, permit or maintain any condition or to perform or cause to be performed any activity specifically identified as a public nuisance in this section through Section 1.17.220, by this code and/or by applicable statutes, rules, codes or regulations. (Ord. 514 §1 (Att. B), 2021) Other Jurisdictions
In researching other jurisdictions, common animal keeping restrictions for chickens to address them becoming a public nuisance issues and help keep the peace between neighbors include:
 No roosters,
 Requiring coops (no free range),
 Restricting how close a coop can be to a neighbor
 Some jurisdictions require a form of “registering” animal keeping with the City allowing for education to avoid potential conflicts between neighbors.

Examples include:

City of Modesto: (Code Link)
- Limits animal count.
- Requires coops.
- Requires a setback of 40 feet from other residences.
- Restricts roosters.

City of Ione: (Code Link)
70 Section 9, Item B.

C IT Y H AL L
CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
- Dedicates an entire chapter of their code to all types of animals. - Limits the number of animals.
- Restricts roosters.
- Sets a setback requirement of 15 feet.
- Requires four feet per bird.
- Limits the addition of animals to parcels .50 acres and larger.

These regulations aim to mitigate agricultural uses versus neighboring non-agricultural uses and address public nuisance issues such as noise, odor, and sanitary concerns.

Questions to answer:

1. Does the existing Municipal Code need to be changed?

2. Does the code need to limit zoning types?

3. Is there a minimum parcel size?

4. What is the limit of animals per parcel?

5. Setback requirements?

6. Licensing requirements?

7. Administrative Use Permit when not in alignment with the code?

8. Fees?

9. Back to Planning Commission or directly to City Council? The current violations in the Code Compliance division have been complaints regarding noise, poorly maintained pens that have created odor and sanitary issues, pest infestation, and animal welfare issues.

These violations do not change because increasing the number of animals, opening the type of zone types, etc. will not eliminate the issues that warranted the complaint.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The city is spending funds on Planning and Code regarding the non-nuisance piece of the code, specifically the “planning” portion. Both individuals are contracted in addition to city staff time. There is not currently sufficient staff to properly manage a licensing/ administrative use permit pathway.

Entitlement Processing Amendments Second Reading - 1
DATE: August 3, 2021
TO: City Council
FROM: Amy Augustine, AICP – City Planner
RE: Ordinance 510 to revise the requirements, findings, and procedures for processing site plan reviews (site development permits), administrative site plan reviews, conditional use permits, variances, rezonings, general plan amendments, code amendments, and appeals of Planning Commission decisions as found in Chapters 17.60 (replace with a new Chapter 17.73 and 17.74), 17.75, 17.78, 17.81, and 17.90 of the Angels Camp Municipal Code (AMC), amend Chapter 17.34 to reflect these changes, and amend to Chapter 17.09 defining terms used in support of these amendments.

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce Ordinance 510, waive the second reading, hold a public hearing, adopt Ordinance 510, and direct the City Clerk to process Ordinance 510 in accordance with Ordinance Section 10 to:

Revise the requirements, findings, and procedures for processing site plan reviews (site development permits), administrative site plan reviews, conditional use permits, variances, rezonings, general plan amendments, code amendments, and appeals of Planning Commission decisions as found in Chapters 17.60 (replace with a new Chapter

17.73 and 17.74), 17.75, 17.78, 17.81, and 17.90 of the Angels Camp Municipal Code (AMC), amend Chapter 17.34 to reflect these changes, and amend to Chapter 17.09 defining terms used in support of these amendments.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment to the zoning code may be initiated by a resolution of intention of the planning commission.

As necessary to provide a more cohesive method of applying for and processing land use entitlements, and as part of the City’s comprehensive code update, revisions and updates to the city’s permitting procedures are necessary. In addition, in conjunction with the receipt of SB2 funds to facilitate the City’s comprehensive code update; code amendments identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element (2019-2027) are required to be enacted and incorporated.

The proposed changes included herein provide the basis for consistently processing land use entitlements, and where feasible, streamlining those processes, citywide.

The proposed changes were introduced at the City Council meeting of July 20, 2021. The Council introduced Ordinance 510, waived the first reading, held a public hearing, and set August 3, 2021 for a second public hearing.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to existing AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:
73 Section 9, Item B.

Entitlement Processing Amendments Second Reading - 2
Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed amendments are specifically required pursuant to the General Plan. Specifically, Housing Element Implementation Program 2.B.a requires a comprehensive update of the City’s Municipal Code as follows:

2.B.a Undertake a Comprehensive Update to the City of Angels Municipal Code Initiate a comprehensive update of the City of Angels Municipal Code to incorporate changes identified in the Housing Element, for internal consistency and for consistency with the general plan.

The proposed code revisions will partially implement this general plan housing element program.

2.D.b Facilitate the Provision of Special Needs Housing

2.D.c Facilitate the Establishment of Housing for Special Needs Populations for Facilities Accommodating Six or Fewer Residents

2.D.d Facilitate Employee Housing/Farmworker Housing

2.D.o Supportive Housing

2.D.q Amend the Municipal Code – Transitional and Supportive Housing Glossary: Proposed addition (or updates) of definitions: Community Care Facility, Group Home, Large Family Day Care, Residential Care Facility and Special Needs Housing As reflected in the proposed procedures for Administrative Site Plan Reviews (17.73) and Site Development Permits (17.74), and by incorporating definitions adopted in the Housing Element (17.09) necessary to the Site Plan Review and Site Development Permit procedures; the proposed revisions will implement these general plan housing element programs while streamlining and making consistent permit processing for most land use entitlements. The addition of definitions incorporated in the administrative site plan and site development permit procedures further implement state housing laws. Therefore, it is consistent with the general plan and municipal code.

Finding B: The proposed changes are not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals and general welfare of the city and its people.

The proposed amendments provide the mechanisms for implementing the general plan. The proposed revisions will implement general plan housing element programs while streamlining and making consistent permit processing for most land use entitlements. Therefore, it is not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals and general welfare of the city and its people.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
Pursuant to the state guidelines for implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed code amendment is exempt from further review, because the proposed amendment implements a program identified within the scope of the 2020 General Plan Environmental Impact Report adopted for the 2020 General Plan.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The code amendments are funded through the City’s SB2 grant funds. Therefore, no impacts to the general fund are anticipated.
74 Section 9, Item B.

Entitlement Processing Amendments Second Reading - 3
One of the proposed additions to the permit processing procedures expands the scope of projects that may be subject to administrative site plan reviews. This will generally reduce application fees for projects valued at less than $500,000 and eliminate the need for a public hearing for those uses that are otherwise permitted uses. At the same time, proposed new procedures for both Site Development Permits and Administrative Site Plan Reviews eliminates the requirement to secure a site development permit or administrative site plan review permit when another entitlement (e.g., Conditional Use Permit, Development Agreement) already is required. While the current fee schedule allows for reducing applicant costs when multiple permits are required; the proposed amendments herein will eliminate the cost of securing sometimes duplicative permits. Therefore, the overall application cost to potential new businesses and developers is expected to be reduced. Because staff will process fewer permits with staff reports made correspondingly shorter, staff costs are expected to be correspondingly reduced.

Section 9, Item B.

Ordinance 511: Code Revisions: R-1, R-2, R-3, Definitions - 2

2. Direct Staff to prepare an animal keeping ordinance for the City.

OPTIONS:

The City Council may do one or none of the following:

A. Approve the Ordinance for all proposed zoning districts (with or without amendments); or B. Approve the Ordinance for only some of the proposed zoning districts (with or without amendments); or C. Return some or all proposed code amendments to staff for revisions; or D. Return some or all proposed code amendments to staff and the Planning Commission for additional revisions.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Angels Municipal Code (AMC) Section 17.90.020(B), an amendment or zone change may be initiated by a resolution of intention of the planning commission. In conjunction with the citywide comprehensive code update for compliance with General Plan 2020, the Planning Commission passed Resolution of Intent 21-15 at a public hearing on August 12, 2021, recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance 511. On September 7, 2021, the City Council waived the first reading, held a public hearing and scheduled the second public hearing for September 21, 2021.

A portion of the Commission’s discussion centered on Limited Small and Limited Large Animal Keeping—especially in the R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district. Currently, the R-1 zoning district does not permit keeping chickens or goats. The proposed code amendment for the R-1 zoning district included in Ordinance 511 would permit those uses subject to a conditional use permit and within established limits based on lot size. The Planning Commission determined that some small animal keeping, especially chicken keeping, should be a permitted use (rather than a conditional use) in the R-1 district subject to lot size. However, the Commission further concluded that keeping small animals as a permitted use should include adopting guidelines ensuring that animal keeping did not result in noise, smell and related to the general welfare of the neighborhood. Therefore, the Commission directed staff to proceed with drafting an animal-keeping ordinance establishing enforceable standards for animal keeping on small residential lots that will minimize and eliminate potential neighborhood conflicts. Staff prepared a similar ordinance for the City of Sonora in consultation with agricultural stakeholders that has been in effect since 2012.

Based on the preceding, Staff recommends passing Ordinance 511 with proposed requirements to secure a conditional use permit for animal-keeping on small residential lots. A code revision allowing limited animal keeping as a permitted use can be made after the City considers and evaluates standards for animal keeping on small residential lots in a separate ordinance.

ANALYSIS
General Plan 2020 amended the required lot coverage, allowable density, purposes and intent and related items for the Single Family Residential (SFR), Medium Density Residential (MDR) and High Density Residential (HDR) land uses.

Per General Plan Table 1-5, the SFR, MDR, and HDR Land Use designations are intended to be compatible with the following zoning districts:

P: Public

/b/ Pending future general plan amendments
The corresponding zoning districts R-1, R-2, and R-3 have not been updated for consistency with General Plan 2020 changes, although the affected parcels already have been rezoned.

In addition, upon review of the proposed requirements for the Residential Cottage zoning district (RC) proposed by General Plan 2020, staff is recommending that instead of creating a new RC zoning district, residential cottages be handled as a conditional use in the designated zoning districts as indicated in the attached code amendments.

The proposed changes also are intended to implement the General Plan Housing Element. Specifically, the changes identified will fully or partially implement all the following General Plan 2020 programs:

2.A.f Encourage Co-Housing/Cooperative Housing/and Tiny Houses Amend the municipal code to define Co-Housing/Cooperative Housing and Tiny Houses and incorporate their use into the code to encourage these housing types in residential and special planning zoning districts as a permitted use or with a site plan review. Examples of successful Co-Housing and Tiny House developments may be found in General Plan Appendix 2D.

Promote the availability of co-housing opportunities/Cooperative Housing and Tiny Houses (e.g., through handouts, mailers, or on the City’s website).

2.B.d Revise the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Update the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance, Chapter 17.61 for compliance with revised state regulations addressed in Government Code Sections 65852.2 including, but not limited to, conversion of identified structures, proportional fees for water service, reduced parking and alternative 110
Section 9, Item B.

Ordinance 511: Code Revisions: R-1, R-2, R-3, Definitions - 4 parking configurations. Considering the addition of “junior accessory dwelling units” in accordance with Government Code Section 65852.22. Consider establishing an ADU application with a short questionnaire to provide supporting documentation that the ADU satisfied the City’s Regional Housing Need Assessment goals.

2.B.j Update the City’s Mobilehome/Manufactured Housing Provisions Amend the City of Angels Municipal Code to comply with the provisions of California Government Code Section 65852.3 (as may be amended) to allow manufactured homes on single-family residential lots.

Include provisions that prohibit the installation of mobilehomes constructed prior to June 15, 1976 within the City limits and to require all mobilehomes constructed after June 15, 1976 to be on a permanent foundation unless located within a mobilehome park.

2.D.a Continue to Support the Establishment of Senior Housing Continue to support the provision of congregate care, convalescent, and long-term care facilities and small facilities providing senior housing within the City limits through implementation of the following:
• Add “Tri-Level Living Communities” as a new land use to Chapter 17.09 of the Municipal Code (or equivalent section of the amended Angels Camp Municipal Code) The definition of this land use should encompass communities that provide assisted living, unassisted living and nursing home opportunities within the same community to allow seniors to remain with their spouses and allow seniors to remain local and avoid major changes in living conditions and locations throughout their lives
• Amend the Municipal Code to extend the same incentives to Tri-Level Living Communities as are available to affordable housing developments (e.g., density bonuses, alternative land development standards) as described in Program 2.A.b
• Amend the Municipal Code to include Tri-Level Communities/Housing as a conditional use in the R-2, R-3, and RA zoning districts (or equivalent sections of the amended Angels Camp Municipal Code)

2.D.c Facilitate the Establishment of Housing for Special Needs Populations for Facilities Accommodating Six or Fewer Residents
The City will facilitate the establishment of Special Needs housing for facilities accommodating six or fewer residences in accordance with state law as follows:

Amend the Municipal Code to reference provisions in state law applicable to special needs housing for six or fewer residents (excluding the licensee or members of the licensee's family or persons employed as facility staff) as established for the following (as these uses are defined by the referenced code sections):
• Intermediate Care Facilities, Developmentally Disabled Habilitatives, Intermediate Day care Facility/Developmentally Disabled-Nursing or Congregate Living Health Care facilities [Health and Safety Code Section 1267.8]
• Residential Care Facilities for the elderly and Residential Care Facilities [Health & Safety Code Sections 15682, 1566, 1568.08]
• Community Care Facilities [Health & Safety Code 1566.3 et seq. and as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 1502, et seq.]
111
Section 9, Item B.

Ordinance 511: Code Revisions: R-1, R-2, R-3, Definitions - 5 • Alcoholism Recovery or Treatment Facilities, Drug Abuse Recovery or Treatment Facilities [Health & Safety Code 11834.02 – 11834.30]
• Facilities for those with Mental Disorders, Handicapped Persons or Dependent and Neglected Children providing care on a 24-hour-a-day basis [Welfare and Institutions Code Sections 5115-5116] Clarify that these uses are considered supportive or transitional housing as defined and regulated pursuant to the municipal code.

The goal of this program is to eliminate the necessity for public hearings within the specified zoning districts for proposals for small (six or fewer residents) group homes and to identify locations for large (7 or more residents) group homes.

2.D.d Facilitate Employee Housing/Farmworker Housing
Continue to comply with the Employee Housing Act. For consistency with state law, amend the Municipal Code to recognize Employee Housing, including Farmworker Housing, for six or fewer employees as a permitted use in all residential districts. In addition, amend the municipal code to recognize that any employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in a group quarters or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household is an agricultural land use that does not differ in any other way from any other agricultural use. Clarify that no conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance is required of this employee housing that is not required of any other agricultural activity in the same zone. Further clarify that the permitted occupancy in employee housing in an agricultural zone includes agricultural employees who do not work on the property where the employee housing is located. For the purposes of the amendment, an agricultural zone shall include all City zoning districts (existing or planned) that allow agricultural uses.

Remove references to “servant’s quarters” and other conflicting terms currently in the code. Clarify that this use is subject only to the same standards that apply within the respective Residential zones and any applicable combining district for other similar uses [Health & Safety Code 17021.5 and 17021.6].

2.D.o Supportive Housing
Amend the municipal code to incorporate the supportive housing by right provisions of AB 2162 (Government Code Section 65583.2(i)

2.D.q Amend the Municipal Code – Transitional and Supportive Housing Amend the Municipal Code to clarify that Transitional and supportive housing are considered residential uses in all zones allowing residential subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in this same zone (e.g., R-1, R-2, R-3, CC, SC, I1, and I2).

Add all the following definitions to the Municipal Code:

Adult Alcoholism or Drug Abuse Recovery or Treatment Facility (Previous code revision) Community Care Facility (previous code revision)
Developmental Disability
Domestic Violence Shelter
Extremely Low-Income Household
Homeless Shelter
Residential Care Facility (Previous code revision)
Small Family Day Care
Special Housing Needs (added as Special Needs Housing – Previous code revision) 112
Section 9, Item B.

Ordinance 511: Code Revisions: R-1, R-2, R-3, Definitions - 6 In addition to these changes, amendments include:
• Neighborhood services. Introducing the concept of Neighborhood Services as a conditional use in residential districts. The designation serves as a “Neighborhood Commercial” type designation that covers multiple uses formerly listed separately in Chapter 17.34 while adding flexibility to the types of support services that might contribute to reducing vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas emissions and improving neighborhood walkability. “Neighborhood services” are small scale (less than 10,000 square feet) convenience shopping, professional offices, community centers, community gardens, recreational uses, storage facilities, and similar amenities intended to serve nearby residential areas. Neighborhood services exclude shopping centers or major commercial developments of a community or regional nature. • New housing types: Most of these new housing types included in the proposed code revisions are identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element; however, recent concepts added include missing middle housing and intergenerational housing. Other new housing types already identified in the housing element include cottage housing, tiny homes, co-housing, and life-plan communities. • Limited small and large animal keeping: Animal keeping was introduced in the RE-1 and RE-5 zoning districts previously approved. However, the City occasionally receives requests by 4-H (or other student) families to raise one or two animals on single-family residential parcels of varying size. Similarly, chicken keeping has been popularized on small lots over recent years. The proposed limited small and large animal keeping uses included here are intended to address those requests while responding to similar complaints related to small properties with “farm-type” animals in concentrations that can create nuisances related to noise, smell, and related conflicts. As noted previously, staff is recommending that a separate ordinance be adopted establishing standards for these uses and allowing some limited animal keeping as a permitted use.

ANALYSIS
Pursuant to AMC Section 17.90.040, the following findings are required for code amendments:

Finding A: The proposal conforms with the City's General Plan and Municipal Code The proposed zoning district amendments are specifically required pursuant to the General Plan Land Use Element and General Plan Housing Element as summarized in the preceding section. The proposed code amendments will implement the General Plan Land Use Element and Housing Element programs identified. Based on the preceding, the proposed amendment conforms with the General Plan and the City of Angels Municipal Code.

Finding B: The proposed changes are not detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals and general welfare of the city and its people.

The amendments expand the potential housing choices available in the City in compliance with the General Plan Housing Element and bring the site development and density standards into compliance with General Plan 2020.

Uses identified as requiring a conditional use permit and/or Site Plan Review will require additional review for consistency related to this finding at the time a specific proposal is received and evaluated. In this manner, the proposed code additions and amendments are specifically designed and intended to protect the health, safety, peace, morals and general welfare of the City and its people.

DATE: May 7th, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION ON CITY WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH ASSESSMENT RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion on the status of City Website and Social Media Outreach Assessment STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

Conservation & Open Space Maintain and, where feasible, enhance the city's appearance Economic Development Maintain and enhance the city's economic vitality while conserving the city's social, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources BACKGROUND:

The city website and social media presence were identified as deficient in terms of currency, accessibility, and organization. In response, staff conducted an assessment to identify the issues, implement necessary changes, and improve communication with residents and the community.

DISCUSSION:

Website Update Assessment:

Staff convened to analyze internal update processes for the existing website platform. It was discovered that the website was designed for updates by a webmaster rather than by non-technical personnel.

Furthermore, the city lacked an official social media account, relying instead on accounts administered by Destination Angels Camp for both city and non-city outreach.

Actions Taken:

Following interviews with web developers, the city selected LevelOne from Sonora to undertake a full rewrite of the website. The objective was to create a user-friendly platform that could be easily updated.

This endeavor involved consolidating licensing and ownership information, re-establishing city ownership over domains, and restricting non-city access. Additionally, an official social media account was created, accompanied by an internal training and review process until a comprehensive social media policy could be formulated. The urgency of disseminating information to residents and the community underscored the importance of these initiatives.

Website Analytics:

According to Google Analytics, the City’s website boasts 2,000 active users, evenly split between computer and mobile device users. Popular pages include the homepage, Visiting Angels, and the Mayor & City Council sections. Notably, the human resources page received 205 visits in the last month, contributing to a total of 16,000 visits for the entire website last month. This marks a significant increase from the previous year's total of 21,000 visits, indicating successful efforts to establish the website as a primary resource for information.

Social Media Outreach:

The city’s Facebook page has proven to be an effective outreach tool, amassing 1,034 followers and reaching nearly 5,400 accounts with each post. Engagement metrics are encouraging, with approximately 1,900 individuals actively engaging with posts. The page has gained 20 new followers in the last month, primarily from Angels Camp and surrounding communities. Posts related to Utica Park garnered the most reach and engagement, highlighting specific areas of community interest.

Maximizing Outreach:

To enhance outreach efforts, the city shares important topics across community groups and utilizes Canva to schedule Facebook posts, particularly those related to City Council meetings. Constant Contact and Canva are integral tools for maintaining a professional appearance in posts and newsletters, with Canva offering a range of design options and Constant Contact facilitating targeted outreach through email distribution lists.

Email Outreach Metrics:

The city has successfully collected 634 email addresses across various segments, including Business Outreach, City Council Meetings, General Interest, Planning Commission, and Utica Park. In the past 30 days, there have been 834 sends with an impressive 68% open rate, exceeding industry standards.

Notably, 89% of opens occur on computers, while click-through rates hover around 11%, indicating a highly engaged demographic.

The comprehensive efforts to update the city website and establish a robust social media presence have significantly improved communication with residents and the community. Continued refinement of outreach strategies, alongside the implementation of targeted initiatives, will further strengthen engagement and ensure timely dissemination of information. 167

DATE: May 7th, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Rebecca Callen, City Administrator
RE: DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION ON SPEED TABLES ON CITY ROADS RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion and direction on introducing the use of speed tables throughout the city and budget recommendation for fiscal year 2024/25 and authorizing the city Administrator to execute any necessary agreements with Calaveras County to include speed tables within the city, based on an approved budget.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

Public Facilities & Services Maintain or increase the levels of service currently available within Angels Camp for public works facilities and infrastructure including roads, sidewalks, drainage facilities, public buildings, and other public facilities
BACKGROUND:

The City of Angels does not currently address speed table, bumps, or humps in the city construction standards. With the increase in population, changes in circulation current and future, the need to calm traffic speeds is needed.

DISCUSSION:

The City has the opportunity to leverage the procurement process initiated by Calaveras County to install speed tables, thereby saving staff time and reducing costs. Preliminary estimates suggest that each speed table installation could cost between $6,000 and $8,000. Identified roads in need of speed control measures include Gardner Lane, Murphys Grade Road, Dogtown Road, Stockton Road, Vallecito Road, Angels Oaks, and Stanislaus.

A speed table is a traffic calming device designed to reduce vehicle speeds on local roads. Similar to speed bumps or humps, speed tables are elevated sections of roadway typically constructed with a flat surface, spanning the width of the road. Unlike traditional speed bumps, which are abrupt and steep, speed tables have a longer, more gradual incline and decline, allowing vehicles to pass over them at a moderate speed without causing discomfort to occupants.

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
Speed table spacing is a critical aspect to consider in order to ensure effectiveness and avoid driver frustration. Best practices recommend maintaining consistent spacing between speed tables, typically ranging from 200 to 600 feet apart. This spacing not only ensures sufficient deceleration and acceleration zones for drivers but also maintains a steady flow of traffic along the roadway.

Stanislaus Road, in particular, is slated to receive new stop signs aimed at curbing speeds, especially concerning the safety of school children. This project has been deferred to the summer months to coincide with the school break.

The city has no policy for traffic management, standards for construction, or dedicated funding for it.

The City Engineer is currently identifying and will be recommending construction standards for speed control measures and will present these to the City Council for adoption. Engineering will identify the number of speed tables required for each identified roadway segment, taking into account road geometry, traffic volume, and other relevant factors.

Roads that have been identified to benefit from speed tables:
 Gardner Lane - 3
 Murphys Grade - 1
 Dogtown - 1
 Stockton - 2
 Angel Oaks
 Vallecito

Recommendation:

1. Approve the adoption of construction standards for speed control measures based on the City Engineer's recommendation, including adherence to best practices for speed table spacing (forthcoming).

2. Authorize the procurement of speed tables through the Calaveras County contract, subject to the specified budgetary estimates (to be included in the 2024/25 budget).

3. Review and adopt the Neighborhood Traffic Management Policy (NTMP) Draft Policy Note: that the City’s existing purchasing policy permits sole sourcing under limited circumstances. In this case, the county is relying on JOC (Job Order Contracting) through CalTrans.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an on-call construction services contract where construction work and performance is determined by issuing Work Orders with the contractor during a fixed period of time. In the Invitation for Bid (IFB), contractors competitively bid based on their Adjustment Factors on each item listed in the Fixed Unit Price List; this Stipulated Unit Price will be used to price all Work Orders. The Department awards the JOC Master Agreement to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. A JOC Master Agreement is 12-months with the option of extending for up to two 12-month periods. Work Orders are then issued as an individual construction contract, which identify specific location(s) and items of work.

The city would be aligning with the County’s enrollment and contracting based on the JOC Master Agreement.

3. Direct staff to identify road projects eligible for funding and incorporate the recommended speed control measures into the 2024/25 budget as feasible, while ensuring appropriate spacing between speed tables. Engineering will provide the necessary information on the number of speed tables required for each project.

4. Provide any necessary guidance or directives to ensure the efficient implementation of speed control measures on identified roadways, emphasizing the importance of maintaining consistent speed table spacing.

5. Authorize the City Administrator to contract with Calaveras County on city located speed tables.

Neighborhood Traffic Management Policy (NTMP) Draft Policy 175
Section 9, Item D.
1 Neighborhood Traffic Management Policy (NTMP)

1. Introduction
The City of Angels recognizes the importance of addressing neighborhood traffic issues, ensuring traffic safety, and enhancing neighborhood livability through a comprehensive and community-driven approach. The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP), also known as traffic calming, aims to improve safety and the quality-of-life for residents by mitigating the impacts of speeding vehicles, cut-through traffic, and reckless driving on residential streets.

2. Objectives of the NTMP
The goals of the NTMP include:
- Empowering neighborhood residents to actively participate in addressing traffic issues through a traffic calming plan.
- Implementing effective traffic calming techniques and engineering principles. - Enhancing targeted police enforcement measures.

3. Traffic Calming Measures
Traffic calming measures are simple roadway design features intended to:
- Reduce the effects of motor vehicle use.
- Influence driver behavior.
- Improve conditions for non-motorized street users.

These measures typically involve slight alterations to street geometry, such as narrowing the roadway or introducing curvature, to create a safer environment for all road users.

4. Traffic Calming Process
176
Section 9, Item D.
2 4.1 Application Process
Neighborhoods may submit applications for traffic calming measures on a continuous basis.

Applications are processed in the order they are received. Any project is limited to funding.

4.2 Neighborhood Meeting
When a neighborhood reaches the top of the waiting list, a kick-off meeting is scheduled, inviting all residents within the neighborhood boundaries. At this meeting, residents are presented with available traffic calming measures, their associated costs, advantages, and disadvantages. Residents then vote on the preferred approach.

4.3 Developing a Traffic Calming Plan
Interested residents may volunteer to serve on the Traffic Calming Committee, collaborating with neighbors and city officials to develop a tailored traffic calming plan addressing neighborhood concerns.

4.4 Vote of the Neighborhood
Once the proposed plan is finalized and approved by the City Traffic Engineer, it is subject to a neighborhood-wide vote. Approval by a simple majority (50% +1 of returned ballots) allows the plan to proceed to construction.

4.5 Construction
Construction typically occurs between March and October, during dry weather conditions and moderate temperatures (60-90 degrees Fahrenheit).

5. Traffic Calming Choices
Neighborhoods may opt for either the Expedited Speed Hump, Bump, or Table Program or the Full Traffic Calming Program.
177
Section 9, Item D.
3 5.1 Full Traffic Calming Program
This comprehensive program encompasses all available traffic calming measures. It may necessitate hiring a design consultant, obtaining neighborhood approval, securing City Council endorsement, and soliciting bids for construction. Due to its extensive scope, the Full Program generally incurs higher costs.

6. Possible Traffic Solutions
In addition to traffic calming measures, residents may request police enforcement in their neighborhood. While less effective for speed control, options such as crosswalks and stop signs can also be considered, subject to compliance with state and federal guidelines.

7. Request for STOP or other Traffic Signs and Devices
Stop signs serve to assign right-of-way at intersections rather than slowing vehicles. Their installation follows a thorough study to determine compliance with warrants established by the Federal Highway Administration and Cal-Trans.

This policy aims to foster collaboration between residents and the City to address traffic issues, prioritize safety, and enhance the livability of our neighborhoods. 178

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
Staff have solicited quotes from local contractors for the demolition and site preparation work. As of present, only one response has been received. Sutton Enterprises has offered to undertake the demolition of the NAPA building for $42,000 and the removal of the concrete pad at the downtown property, along with necessary grading, for $4,500. It is proposed that the city accepts the concrete and rhyolite blocks at the spray field.

In the event that asbestos is identified at the old NAPA property, the quoted price may vary.

Staff recommend proceeding with both demolition projects simultaneously to minimize mobilization costs and streamline the process.

This undertaking will significantly benefit the community by providing additional parking for the downtown area, addressing blight in the vicinity, and creating a clean canvas for future projects. Potential future endeavors include the installation of EV charging stations, construction of more permanent parking structures, and the addition of public amenities such as bathrooms, among others.

The City Council is requested to review the proposal and authorize the City Administrator to execute the agreements and commencement of demolition and site preparation work as outlined above.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funds for these projects are proposed to be sourced from the General Fund unrestricted balance. As of the latest accounting, the General Fund unrestricted balance stands at just over $4 million, with $1.8 million allocated for reserves, leaving approximately $2.2 million available for one-time investments related to general fund projects.

RE: HABITAT FOR HUMANITY STANDARD AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF BONDING FOR EUREKA

OAKS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE ANY NECESSARY AGREEMENTS (Motion and Action)
RECOMMENDATION:

Discussion and direction allowing Habitat for Humanity to Utilize the Standard Agreement with CalHome in Lieu of Bonding for Infrastructure Project
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:

Land Use Provide a well-organized and orderly development pattern that maintains and enhances Angels Camp’s social, economic, cultural, environmental, and aesthetic resources while managing growth so that adequate facilities and services can be provided in pace with development.

BACKGROUND:

Habitat for Humanity has proposed a development infrastructure project aimed at providing affordable housing within the City of Angels. The conditions of the project currently recommended bonding for the development infrastructure phase, which would result in an additional expenditure of approximately 1% of the project cost, totaling between $100,000-160,000.

DISCUSSION:

Given the overarching goal of this project to facilitate affordable housing, any measures that can alleviate unnecessary financial burdens are in alignment with its core objectives. In light of this, Habitat for Humanity has proposed the utilization of the Standarad Agreement with CalHome as an alternative to bonding.

This is the agreement between Habitat for Humanity and CalHome for the infrastructure funding of the development.

Staff have assessed the proposal and recommend that the City Council approve the City Administrator to collaborate with Habitat for Humanity and Legal Counsel for the execution of this affordable option. 208

CITY OF ANGELS PO Box 667, 200 Monte Verda St. Suite B, Angels Camp, CA 95222 P: (209) 736-2181 Home of the Jumping Frog - Angelscamp.gov
The primary purpose of either bonding or utilizing a letter of credit is to mitigate the risk associated with the project in the event of non-completion. Without such measures, the City would assume liability for the unfinished project.
