STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: Regular Meeting of August 8, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Lloyd Smith, City Attorney TLS
SUBJECT: Ordinance Prohibiting Retaliation and Harassment of Residential Tenants
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance adding Chapters 4 and 5 of Title 11 of the Antioch Municipal Code prohibiting retaliation and harassment of residential tenants.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the ordinance will have direct and indirect fiscal impacts if the City engages in enforcement of the ordinance, either through the code enforcement process or through litigation. The proposed Ordinance may be enforced by an aggrieved tenant, an organization or other entity that represents the interests of aggrieved tenants, or the City.
At a minimum, an assistant city attorney or deputy city attorney position plus administrative support would be necessary for the City Attorney’s Office to provide support services to the public for this ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The City Council provided direction to staff at its May 9, 2023 and June 13, 2023 meeting to prepare additional tenant protection policies for City Council consideration, including policies prohibiting retaliation and harassment of residential tenants. Staff presented a Draft Ordinance to the City Council at its June 27, 2023 and July 25 meeting for discussion and further direction.
After receiving public comment, the City Council identified potential issues concerning the section of the Draft Ordinance that enumerates landlord acts and omissions that would constitute harassment if done in bad faith. The Council directed staff to research potential solutions. The proposed Ordinance, attached as Attachment A, reflects staff’s recommended updates, which are summarized in the table below.
Antioch City Council Report
August 8, 2023 Agenda Item# F 2
City Council
Direction
Ordinance Addition
or Revision
1. Address threats of rent
increase in response to
tenant request for repair
New subdivision (A)(4) of § 11-5.03 borrows language
from the proposed retaliation chapter so that the
prohibited acts—including increasing or threatening to
increase rent in retaliation against a tenant who
requests a repair or exercises a right under Title 11 of the Municipal Code—maybe enforced as retaliation or
harassment.
2. Require notice to be in
tenant spoken language
Revised subdivision (B) of § 11-5.04 requires the form
of notice prescribed by the City to include a Spanish
language translation. This revised subdivision also
clarifies that the City may include additional
translations and additional information that will help
effectuate the Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance.
The Rent Stabilization Ordinance requires notices for
its purposes to be provided in the language used in the written lease or that was used during the creation of
an oral lease. The revision in the proposed Ordinance
takes a different approach by requiring the City to
provide a dual-language notice so that tenants whose
primary language is Spanish will receive notice in that language regardless of the language used in the
lease.
3. Address improper
towing of tenant
vehicles
New subdivision (A)(8) of § 11-5.03 includes the
following act as harassment when done in bad faith:
“Remove or cause removal of a tenant’s vehicle from
the rental property or abutting street in violation of
applicable law.”
4. Address verbal abuse
and psychological harm
New subdivision (A)(13) of § 11-5.03 includes “verbal
or nonverbal abuse” and “verbal or nonverbal actions
directed at a tenant or their guest that are likely, or intended, to cause physical, mental, or emotional
harm” as harassment when done in bad faith.
Prohibited acts include harmful “verbal or nonverbal
actions directed toward a tenant or their guest as a
member of a protected class that are likely, or
intended, to cause physical, mental, or emotional
harm.”
5. Protect tenants’ right to
organize
New subdivision (A)(23) of § 11-5.03 includes the
following act as harassment when done in bad faith:
Antioch City Council Report
August 8, 2023 Agenda Item# F 3
City Council
Direction
Ordinance Addition
or Revision
“Prohibit, interfere with, retaliate against, or threaten retaliation against tenant organizing activities or
engaging in other political activities.”This provision
also defines “tenant organizing activities.”This
provision clarifies that the subdivision does not prohibit reasonable time, place, and manner requirements,
which a landlord could impose to address potential
impacts on other tenants and the rental property. Such requirements may not “effectively prohibit or
substantially interfere with organizing activities.” This language is based on San Francisco’s regulations on
Residential Tenant Communications.
6. Increase penalties to be
commensurate with
harm and serve as more
effective deterrent
Pursuant to revised subdivision (D) of §11-5.05, a
court may award “compensatory damages, rent
refunds for reduction in housing services, reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, imposition of civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation depending upon the
severity of the violation, tenant relocation, and other appropriate relief, as adjudged by the court.”
Additional Staff
Recommendation
Ordinance Addition
or Revision
7. Clarify standard for
landlord intent to
constitute harassment
Revised subdivision (A) of § 11-5.03 includes acts or
omissions done in “bad faith.” The bad faith standard
is generally recommended for tenant anti-harassment
protections because it is flexible and allows a court to consider the specific facts of the landlord’s behavior
in the context of the action taken and harm suffered.
8. Address sexual
exploitation
New subdivision (A)(5) of § 11-5.03includes
solicitation of a tenant for sexual conduct in exchange for protection from eviction, repairs or maintenance,
or fulfillment of a legal obligation.
9. Address excessive rent
increases intended to
force a tenant to vacate
in circumvention of
eviction protection laws
New subdivision (A)(22) of § 11-5.03 includes
excessive rent increases for units that are not
regulated by the Rent Stabilization Ordinance and
that are intended to push a tenant out of a rental unit that is subject to eviction protections. This provision would apply to units protected by the AB 1482 eviction
regulations, as well as units protected by City eviction regulations if adopted.
Antioch City Council Report
August 8, 2023 Agenda Item# F 4
Additional Staff
Recommendation
Ordinance Addition
or Revision
10.Include safeguard for
potential First
Amendment issues
New subdivision (B) of § 11-5.03 specifies that the
prohibited acts of harassment do not include “conduct
intended to communicate ideas or beliefs to the public
at large and that has only an incidental effect upon a
person or persons.” This provision enables the City
to regulate harmful conduct that is directed at a tenant while avoiding interference with protected speech.
11.Add criminal penalty to
allow administrative
enforcement
New subdivision (A) of § 11-5.05 makes violationsof
the Anti-Tenant Harassment Ordinance publishable
as an infraction or misdemeanor. This provision
allows the City to enforce the ordinance through code
enforcement because the Government Code
authorizes the City to enforce violations of the
Municipal Code that are infractions through
administrative citations and fines.
BACKGROUND
Anti-Retaliation
A policy prohibiting retaliation by residential landlords, or “anti-retaliation” policy, bars landlords from retaliating against tenant because the tenant exercised or asserted certain legal rights related to the rental unit, tenancy, and status as a tenant. Staff recommended adding an anti-retaliation policy that covers all existing and future tenant protections due to concerns expressed by tenants engaging with the Rent Program regarding fears of retaliation by landlords if the tenants assert rights under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
The proposed Ordinance would add Chapter 4 and Section 11-4.01 to Title 11, Tenant Protections, of the Antioch Municipal Code. Section 11-4.01 would prohibit landlords from engaging in enumerated acts as retaliation against a tenant for asserting or exercising any right under Title 11. Section 11-4.01 would also establish that any act of prohibited retaliation is a defense to an action to recover possession, as well as a basis for damages and injunctive relief against the landlord. Section 11-4.01 would also establish a presumption of retaliation where a tenant asserts or exercises a right under Title 11 within six months of the landlord’s act.
Anti-Harassment
Under State law, tenant harassment occurs when a landlord engages in specific acts with the intent to cause a tenant to vacate a rental property. The harm State law seeks to prevent is “constructive eviction,” and it does not address harassing acts by landlords that are not accompanied by the specific intent to cause the tenant to vacate or where it is difficult to prove this specific intent.
A City policy prohibiting harassment by residential landlords, or “anti-harassment” policy, Antioch City Council Report
August 8, 2023 Agenda Item# F 5
can focus more broadly on harmful actions by landlords that have no lawful purpose. The proposed Ordinance identifies specific acts and omissions by landlords that constitute prohibited harassment when done in “bad faith.” This bad faith standard encompasses situations where a landlord harasses a tenant in order to cause the tenant to leave, as well as situations where a landlord wants to avoid the expense or inconvenience of providing a tenant what they are lawfully owed or acts in a discriminatory manner.
The proposed Ordinance requires landlords to provide notice of the prohibited harassment to existing and future tenants within 30 days of the effective date of the chapter or at the beginning of the tenancy. Notice is also required in an interior common area, if any, and with any notice of termination of a tenancy. The proposed Ordinance may be enforced by an aggrieved tenant, the City, or an organization or other entity that represents the interests of aggrieved tenants. The proposed Ordinance also provides for a minimum damages amount and enhanced damages where a tenant is disabled or age 65 or over.

ORDINANCE NO. _____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANTIOCH ADDING CHAPTERS 4 AND 5 OF TITLE 11
OF THE ANTIOCH MUNICIPAL CODE
PROHIBITING RETALIATION AGAINST AND HARASSMENT OF
RESIDENTIAL TENANTS
WHEREAS, a shortage of rental housing and market demand for affordable housing have resulted in an imbalance between supply and demand in the rental housing market in Antioch and an imbalance of bargaining power between residential landlords and tenants;
WHEREAS, Antioch residential tenants may be unwilling or unable to assert their legal rights due to factors such as an imbalance in bargaining power and concerns of retaliation;
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Antioch finds that these imbalances in the rental housing market and in the bargaining power of landlords and tenants reduces stability, security, and habitability, which are detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of Antioch residents;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that renters occupy nearly forty percent (40%) of residential units in the City, Antioch renters have provided public comment at several City Council meetings regarding their experiences of harassment, and additional tenant protections will benefit the public health, safety, and welfare of the City; WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the displacement of residential tenants increases the risk that Antioch residents will lack stable and appropriate housing and, therefore, seek to institute measures to reduce the impacts of displacement on tenants, particularly tenants of limited financial means;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that reasonable regulation of aspects of the residential landlord-tenant relationship is necessary to foster constructive communication, maintain an adequate supply of rental housing units, and protect the health, safety and general welfare of the public and that there is a lack of adequate protections and remedies in the absence of City regulations;
WHEREAS, the purpose of this policy is to preserve the public peace, health, and safety of the City by deterring harassing behavior by landlords against residential tenants, encouraging residential landlords to follow the law and uphold their responsibility to provide habitable rental properties, and establishing more effect remedies for tenants who experience harassing behavior;
WHEREAS, the purpose of this policy is also to help maintain peaceful relations in the community and minimize breaches of the peace caused by self-help evictions; to protect vulnerable populations of the Antioch community, including those referenced in the recitals of the City of Antioch Rent Stabilization Ordinance adopted on October 11, 2 2022; to preserve Antioch’s affordable rental housing stock; to reduce the expenditure of City and community resources needed in response to involuntary displacement; and to prevent adverse health impacts suffered by individuals—especially children, older person, persons living on fixed incomes, and other vulnerable renters in the City—and families as a result of displacement; and
WHEREAS, the City Council incorporates into this ordinance as necessary findings the recitals of this ordinance, any amendments or supplements, and any oral testimony provided on June 14, 2022, June 28, 2022, July 27, 2022, August 23, 2022, September 13, 2022, September 27, 2022, October 11, 2022, December 12, 2022, February 13, 2023, April 24, 2023, May 8, 2023, June 27, 2023, and July 25, 2023 and finds, determines, and declares that the threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its residents necessitates the enactment of the ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Antioch does ordain as follows:
Section 1.The recitals above are incorporated herein.
Section 2.Chapter 4 of Title 11 of the Antioch Municipal Code, entitled “Retaliation Prohibited” is hereby added as provided below (section numbers and titles are indicated in capital letters):
§ 11-4.01 RETALIATION PROHIBITED.
(A) No landlord may threaten to bring, or bring, an action to recover possession, cause the tenant to quit the unit involuntarily, serve any notice to quit or notice of termination of tenancy, decrease any housing services or increase the rent where the landlord’s intent is retaliation against the tenant for the tenant’s assertion or exercise of any right under this title. (B) Any action of retaliation described in subdivision (A) shall be a defense to an action to recover possession, or it may serve as the basis for an affirmative action by the tenant for actual and punitive damages and injunctive relief.
(C) In an action by or against a tenant, evidence of the assertion or exercise by the tenant of rights under this title within six months prior to the alleged act of retaliation shall create a presumption that the landlord’s act was retaliatory. "Presumption" means that the court must find the existence of the fact presumed unless and until its nonexistence is proven by a preponderance of the evidence. A tenant may assert retaliation affirmatively or as a defense to the landlord’s action without the aid of the presumption regardless of the period of time which has elapsed between the tenant’s assertion or exercise of rights under this chapter and the alleged act of retaliation.
3 Section 3.The following definition is hereby added to Section 11-1.02, entitled “Definitions,” of the Antioch Municipal Code:

regulations.
(22) Take any action to recover possession of a rental unit that is exempt from rent increase limitations under this title or any other provision of law by means of a rent increase that is imposed in bad faith with intent to coerce the tenant into vacating the rental unit in circumvention of State and local eviction protection laws. Evidence of bad faith may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the rent increase was substantially in excess of market rates for comparable units; (ii) the rent increase was within six months after an attempt to recover possession of the unit; and (iii) such other factors as a court may deem relevant.

(c) Requesting or providing information, offering assistance, distributing literature, convening meetings with or without a landlord or landlord representative, or otherwise acting 8 on behalf of one or more tenants in the building regarding housing conditions, community life, landlord-tenant
relations, and/or similar issues of common interest or
concern among tenants in the building.
(d) This subdivision (A)(23) does not prohibit a landlord from establishing reasonable time, place, and manner
requirements of organizing activities so long as the

APPROVED BY: Kevin Scudero, Acting Community Development Director SUBJECT: Third Amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Urban Planning Partners for Housing Element and Safety and
Environmental Justice Element Preparation Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution:
1) Approving the third amendment to the Consulting Services Agreement with Urban Planning Partners in an amount not to exceed $67,772 for a total contract amount of $885,277 for Housing Element and Safety and Environmental Justice Element preparation services and extending the term of the contract through December 30, 2024; and
2) Authorizing the Acting City Manager or designee to execute the third amendment to the Agreement with Urban Planning Part ners in a form approved by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
The original contract with Urban Planning Partners was approved in an amount not to exceed $552,765 on May 25, 2021 . On July 27, 2021 , a contract amendment was approved for $107,440 for the Safety and Environmental Justice Elements. A second contract amendment was approved on April 26, 2022 for $157,300 for additional analysis, fair housing assessment, and preparation of the Environmental Impact Report. The third amendment is requested for $67,772 to cover unanticipated levels of effort and to address comments received on the Housing Element from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
The project is funded through both State grants and the City’s General Fund. This project is a component of the broader General Plan update, which was accounted for in the Community Development Department’s (CDD) Operating Budgets for FY 2021 -23 and FY 2023-25. In addition to CDD’s collection of fees for the Building and Planning services Antioch City Council Report

provided, CDD collects a General Plan Maintenance Fee on each building permit which offsets the cost of such efforts.
Grants:
• $500,000 is provided through a Local Early Action Panning (LEAP) grant • $41,439 is provided through the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant • Grant Total: $541,439
General Fund:
• General Fund Total: $343,838
DISCUSSION
On May 25, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution directing the City Manager to execute a contract with Urban Planning Partners (UPP) for development and preparation of the 2023 -2031 Housing Element and supporting contents including environmental analysis to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The initial contract amount was authorized for $552,765.
On July 27, 2021, the original contract was amended to include $107,440 for the preparation of the Safety Element and Env ironmental Justice Element to satisfy the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 1000.
On April 26, 2022, the contract was amended for a second time for $157,300. This amendment was required to cover costs associated with the Sites Inventory analysis, an assessment of fair housing, the EIR preparation and contingency fees.
The current amendment is the third amendment and consists of two parts. The first part is for higher than anticipated level of effort required on the part of UPP that caused the firm to go over budget. This level of effort included project management and coordination including additional meetings with staff. Additional revisions to the Housing Element to complete a second and third round of comments from HCD. The Environmental Justice Element required a larger level of effort from the consultants than they previously anticipated. To make up for staff inefficiencies related to staffing changes at UPP, UPP is writing down 20-25% of the overage.
The second part of the request is for future efforts to complete the Housing Element and Environmental Justice Element. This effort includes additional funding for project management and coordination, including staff meetings. Additional funds to complete the third revision to the Housing Element, including completing the changes, meeting with HCD, and publishing the changes. Based on the experience of other jurisdictions, the scope also includes funds to complete a possible of a fourth submittal to HCD. Finally, the scope includes finalizing the Environmental Justice Element.
The City Council adopted the City of Antioch Housing Element in January 2023, ahead of the State mandated deadline. The resolution the City Council approved also granted staff Antioch City Council Report
August 8, 2023 Agenda Item #H 3
the authority to make non-substantive changes to the adopted Housing Element. The City then submitted the adopted Housing Element to HCD, which returned additional comments. UPP and staff are working to address HCD’s latest comments and make non- substantive changes to the Housing Element to gain HCD certification.

2. SCOPE OF W ORK
This section outlines Urban Planning Partners’ recommended scope of work for preparing the Housing Element, VMT Policies, and Objective Design Standards for the City of Antioch.
We understand the breadth of services required to complete a thorough and effective document that meets all state and local requirements. Our scope of work lays out clear steps for compliance with the end goal of furthering fair housing and laying the groundwork for successful development in Antioch.
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
Urban Planning Partners w ill undertake a variety of general management tasks throughout the Housing Element update process, including schedule management, coordination with subconsultants, quality assurance for all work conducted in-house and by subconsultants, and coordination with HCD. Urban Planning Partners will provide direction to all team members to ensure an internally consistent, coherent document. Meredith Rupp, Project Manager, will serve as the primary point of contact and ensure effective coordination through various strategies including but not limited to:
• Assigning a dedicated meeting notetaker
• Sending action items after each meeting
• Establishing regular check-ins/ standing meetings to coordinate across the consultant team • Providing concise, regular updates to City staff as desired • Completing clear projections and allocations of work for all staff to ensure project deadlines are met or exceeded in a timely manner in conjunction with other project work. • Overseeing a thorough quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) process including senior level review on all deliverables.
Project Advisor Diana Elrod will serve as point of contact with HCD, communicating early often with the Contra Costa County representative as well as with Paul McDougall, HCD Manager. Meredith and Diana will attend HCD office hours and ABAG Webinar Series on an as-needed basis to keep up to date on key checkpoints for the Housing Element process and stay on track to meet all state requirements and deadlines.
In order to ensure collaboration between City staff and the consultant team while being sensitive to staff capacity constraints, Urban Planning Partners has assumed 12 one-hour meetings with key staff contacts at project milestones. This scope of work and fee assumes that the following meetings will be needed:
Project Kick Off
AFFH Strategy Meeting
Sites Inventory Scenarios Working Sessions (2)
CEQA Kick Off
Outreach/Hearings Preparation Meetings (4)
A7
Goals, Policies, Programs, and Quantified Objectives
Miscellaneous meetings to address issues (2)
Agenda items at the Kick-Off meeting will include the appropriate buffer to use for the sites inventory, what has worked well for community outreach in the past and what groups have been harder to reach, when and how often to engage the Planning Commission and City Council, communication protocols and team meeting frequency, and the scope and schedule for the CEQA and Objective Design Standards projects.
TASK 1 DELIVERABLE:
Updated scope of work, fee, and schedule (one round of review and revision) Task 2: COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
We understand t hat effective community engagement is the key to a successful final product. For the City of Antioch Housing Element and associated work, we will approach engagement strategically with a two-pronged approach:
Identifying target audiences, engagement outcomes, and preferred tools in engagement plan Implementing the strategy in phases, allowing for feedback from the community to organically shape remaining phases.
TASK 2A: E NGAGEMENT STRATEGY
Urban Planning Partners and InterEthnica will prepare a memo outlining the recommended engagement tools and schedule and identifying any groups that will require more effort to successfully reach, including those who have experienced fair housing issues. The outreach strategy memo will include a matrix of recommended activities and the associated fee for each. It will also present Antioch’s demographics, which, together with consultation with the City, will be used to identify key demographic groups whose input will be particularly important for this effort. Because the Housing Element has the potential to positively impact those experiencing housing needs, it will be important to reach and hear from those who can benefit from new housing development. These key groups could include the houseless, low-income households, youth, and the Latinx community. The memorandum will include strategies tailored towards reaching the target groups, such as stipends, partnerships with schools, and presentations to existing community groups.
Having this deliverable after our kick-off meeting will allow us to learn from City staff about what has been successful in the past, what has not worked, anticipated areas of controversy, and other relevant context that can shape our strategy.
TASK 2A DELIVERABLE:
Community Outreach Strategy (including schedule and budget) (one round of review and revision) A8
Task 2B: Strategy Implementation
Urban Planning Partners, working in partnership with InterEthnica, will implement the Outreach Strategy developed in Task 2A. The budget included in this proposal includes the activities described below, but different activities are likely to be included depending on the key groups we identify and what we learn about community outreach from the City’s recent planning projects. The budget also assumes Spanish translation of key documents, three Spanish interviews, and one Spanish event. InterEthnica will work in tandem with Urban Planning Partners to provide Spanish-language translation for community engagement materials.
We anticipate engagement occurring in three phases, as described below. Introduce Project. We will ensure the community is well-informed on what a Housing Element is, what objective standards are, and why they are done. Members of the public will understand the role of the Housing Element in the context of the State’s housing goals, the Bay Area’s RHNA, and housing policy history.
Understand Existing Conditions. We will solicit community and stakeholder input on housing constraints, resources, and opportunities, and housing needs, including needs for special p
opulations.
Explore and Refine Solutions. This phase will be used to formulate realistic and community- supported solutions to address housing challenges in the community. We will ask the community for feedback on draft products and potential solutions using interactive activities.
1. INTRODUCE PROJECT
Using the City of Antioch website as a base, Urban Planning Partners will develop website content in English that introduces the project and lays out a project timeline, including opportunities for public participation and engagement events. InterEthnica will translate these materials into Spanish.
Furthermore, using the template provided by ABAG’s Regional Housing Technical Assistance Program, Urban Planning Partners will develop a one pager on the Housing Element update explaining what a Housing Element is and why they are done, as well as introducing what objective standards are. The handout will summarize key State laws and terms such as affordable housing and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) so that the public is well-informed on Housing Element requirements and can provide more meaningful input at later phases. This handout will be posted on the Town’s webpage and circulated via the City’s social media accounts as applicable.
Urban Planning Partners and InterEthnica will complete up to three interviews with community leaders and/or organizations that serve these communities in order to introduce ourselves and the project and establish a relationship with key partners and stakeholders. These leaders and/or organizations will be essential in helping us reach new voices, especially those who experience housing barriers, such as people of color, low-income folks, persons with disabilities, and others protected by California law.
A9
2. UNDERSTAND EXISTING CONDITIONS
During this phase, we will solicit community and stakeholder input on housing constraints, resources, and opportunities, and housing needs, including needs for special populations. Per Housing Element requirements, we will make a diligent effort to reach diverse and underrepresented groups, including low-income residents, persons of color, and persons with disabilities.
This budget assumes a focus group with housing developers (market-rate and affordable) and up to five interviews with housing activists, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders. These focus groups and interviews will be focused on understanding current patterns of segregation, housing needs, and barriers.
During this phase, we will also conduct two study sessions, one with the Planning Commission and one with City Council. These will be the first public meetings on the Housing Element, and so they will include an overview of what a Housing Element is and compare the context for this Housing Element to the 20154-2023 Element. Urban Planning Partners will work with City staff to determine which aspects of the analysis and Existing Conditions outreach to share with the Commission and Council. A first draft of the sites inventory will be completed prior to the study session should the team wish to share it. Urban Planning Partners will prepare a staff report and prepare and conduct a presentation.
The study session will be widely publicized via social media and outreach to community organizations and leaders, including the community contacts established with the interviews. During the study sessions, members of the public and the Commissioners/Councilmembers will see and be able to react to the results of draft work completed to date and understand what has yet to be completed. This will enable us to build momentum and interest in the remaining work and increase transparency.
3. EXPLORE AND REFINE SOLUTIONS
This phase will be used to formulate realistic and community-supported solutions to address housing challenges in the community. We will ask the community for feedback on draft products and potential solutions using interactive activities.
Urban Planning Partners will host two community-wide meetings during this phase. The budget assumes these meetings are all virtual, but the outreach strategy memorandum will assess the cost and logistics of doing them in-person as well. One meeting will be focused on housing constraints and goals and the other more narrowly focused on the sites inventory. InterEthnica will host one Spanish-language meeting that combines content from the two.
The first meeting will present the housing constraints we have uncovered as well as draft housing goals.
After the presentation, breakout rooms with at least one team facilitator in each group will be used to discuss and evaluate potential policies and programs. A platform like Remo or Mural will be used to make brainstorming more interactive and discussion questions will be used to help spark participants thinking and to consider tradeoffs. Facilitators will also be prepared with solutions to test in the community, such as pre-approved ADU plans or landlord education services, zoning for tiny homes villages, or greater zoning incentives for affordable housing. A video recording of the meeting will be posted on the City’s A10
website and an online survey will be circulated asking community members to select their top policy and program solutions.
The second meeting will focus on the sites inventory. Up to three scenarios will be developed and presented to show areas for potential rezoning. Urban Planning Partners will provide high-level pros and cons of each scenario. At the end of the presentation, breakout rooms will be used to discuss the three scenarios and their tradeoffs in more depth and each group will vote on their preferred scenario. When the breakout groups come back together, facilitators will briefly summarize one to two salient aspects of the conversation in their groups and what the preferred scenario was. An interactive poll will also be used for all attendees to vote on the preferred scenario after hearing the breakout room summaries.
A video recording of the meeting will be posted on the City’s website and the same poll used at the end of the meeting will be available online up to a week after the event for those who were not able to attend. Social media, phone calls and emails to community organizations, and outreach to the focus group attendees and interviewees in previous phases will be used to publicize the community meeting and the poll.
4. ONGOING
In addition to the three phases, a dedicated project website hosted by the City will be used throughout the project’s entirety. The website will be updated with summaries of outreach activity results on a rolling basis, as well as the demographic trackers showing the makeup of Antioch and the makeup of our outreach participants in terms of age, race, ethnicity, household size, and household income. We will use pre- or post-engagement surveys/comment cards and registration forms to track demographics.
The website will also include information on the project schedule and upcoming outreach opportunities and drafts of deliverables available for public review and comment. We will determine with the City which materials should be translated into Spanish. The budget assumes that the project schedule and announcements and one meeting summary (for the Spanish event) will be provided in Spanish.
TASK 2B DELIVERABLES:
Outreach meetings and materials (one round of review and revision for each) Event summaries (one round of review and revision)
Website content (one round of review and revision)
Task 3: HOUSING AND SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS
ABAG’s Regional Housing Technical Assistance Program will provide jurisdiction-specific graphs and write-ups for all required data, including population, demographic, housing, market conditions and regional comparisons. The information provided by the Technical Assistance Program has been vetted by HCD and complies with Housing Element law requirements to include the following:
Existing and projected housing needs for all income levels, including extremely low income- households.
Population and employment trends.
A11
Household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, overcrowding, and housing stock condition.
Assisted housing developments at risk of conversion.
Special housing needs, such as those of the handicapped, elderly, large families, farmworkers, families with female heads of households, and families and persons in need of emergency shelter.
Urban Planning Partners will participate in the ABAG Housing Element Technical Assistance Program’s webinar series and office hours to be up to date on the technical assistance materials provided and to provide input on the City of Antioch’s needs as appropriate. Urban Planning Partners will review the materials prepared through Technical Assistance Program, format them, and incorporate them into the Housing Element. The budget assumes that the text and graphs provided by ABAG will not require any tailoring. An optional fee is allotted in the budget if refinements are required to meet Antioch’s needs and/or HCD requirements.
The analysis in this task will be a section of the Housing Element and reviewed by staff in Task 9.
Task 4: HOUSING CONSTRAINTS
State Housing Element Law requires that local jurisdictions outline the barriers or constraints to providing the community’s housing needs, including both governmental and non-governmental.
Through a combination of stakeholder outreach, previous planning work and data review, and discussions with City staff, the Urban Planning Partners team will identify potential and actual constraints on the preservation, protection, and production of housing across income levels within the City. Constraints could include building codes and their enforcement, local processing and permit procedures, availability of financing, and the cost of construction. It is assumed the ABAG’s Technical Assistance program will include some input on constraints that the region faces, such as construction costs. Mogavero Architects will also provide input on constraints typical of small cities.
One housing constraint is the City’s CEQA standards for transportation impacts. The City does not have an adopted VMT threshold, which creates inefficiencies during the CEQA process. In this task, Fehr & Peers will prepare a memorandum for the City’s review describing the options for VMT metrics, analysis methods, and significance criteria for the transportation impact evaluation. The memorandum will describe the guidance provided by the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). As part of this work, Fehr & Peers will prepare maps of VMT metrics for the Antioch traffic analysis zones (TAZs) in the Contra Costa Countywide Travel Demand Model. These maps will be useful during the development of Housing Element sites inventory in Task 6 as they will demonstrate low, average, and high-VMT areas of the city. VMT metrics will include home based VMT per resident for residential uses, home based work VMT per employee for office uses, and VMT per service population for retail uses.
Where constraints exist, we will develop recommended programs to mitigate them, and where appropriate and legally permissible, remove the constraints in Task 7.
The analysis in this task will be a section of the Housing Element and reviewed by staff in Task 9.

Task 5: EXISTING HOUSING ELEMENT
Urban Planning Partners will put the goals, policies, and implementing programs from the 2015-2023 Housing Element in a table. It is assumed that the City has a Word version of the 2015-2023 Housing Element’s Appendix B to use as a template. Urban Planning Partners will utilize information from the City’s 2020 Annual Progress Report (and previous annual reports as needed) to evaluate progress towards accomplishing or implementing the identified goals, policies, and programs from the 2015-2023 Housing Element. Urban Planning Partners will provide explanations and updates where goals, policies, or programs are in progress, have been abandoned, or have not proven effective.
TASK 5 DELIVERABLE:
Housing Element Evaluation table (with potential placeholders for City staff input) (one round of review and revision)
Task 6: SITES INVENTORY
Like other Bay Area jurisdictions, the City will face a more challenging sites inventory this cycle due to a higher RHNA than previously and recent legislative changes to both the Housing Accountability Act and Housing Element law. Antioch’s draft RHNA of 3,016 units will be used to begin the sites inventory task until the final RHNA is announced in Winter 2021, allowing our team to begin work on the inventory as soon as possible. Per HCD’s recommendation, we will also implement a buffer to identify 15 to 30 percent more capacity than required. This “RHNA buffer” will help the City ensure that sufficient capacity exists in the Housing Element to accommodate the RHNA throughout the planning period, especially given No Net Loss Law which requires sufficient adequate sites to be available in the city at all times to meet a jurisdiction’s remaining unmet housing needs for each income category.
Urban Planning Partners will utilize ABAG’s Housing Element Site Selection (HESS) tool to identify an inventory of adequate sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period. The HESS tool is being reviewed by HCD and allows jurisdictions to better see the relationship between zoning, environmental constraints, public facilities, and services to sites, as well as the potential for a site to affirmatively further fair housing per AB 686. It is anticipated that most Antioch sites will be identified in the HESS tool’s yellow tier of sites (i.e., sites that could potentially be used to accommodate RHNA but require additional analysis or documentation). Urban Planning Partners will consider and save multiple scenarios in the HESS tool and consult with City staff at a working session to refine the options. Three admin draft scenarios will be presented to City staff and after incorporating City comments, three public draft scenarios will be presented to City officials and members of the public to inform the sites inventory and rezoning program (e.g., rezoning sites to allow residential development, rezoning sites for higher densities).
Fehr & Peers will also provide analysis support to the team as it considers housing sites, including VMT effects using travel demand model runs, transportation context supporting travel by multiple modes, land use context supporting shorter and/or non-auto trips for employment and shopping/entertainment purposes, transportation equity, and other metrics which may be developed collaboratively with City staff and the consultant team. Fehr & Peers will conduct a VMT assessment for up to 10 sites based on OPR guidelines. We expect that this analysis would be conducted using the CCTA model. For this A13
assessment, Fehr & Peers would increase the number of housing units in the respective TAZ by the new housing development potential on each Housing Element site; land uses that would then not be constructed on each respective site would be removed from the model. The following VMT estimates will be prepared for the baseline and cumulative scenarios, both without and with the Housing Element sites:
Citywide – All VMT
Citywide – home based VMT
Each Housing Element site – home based VMT
It is assumed that ABAG’s Technical Assistance Program will provide market information that can be referenced to substantiate the potential for redevelopment on non-vacant sites. This information and permit data on projects completed in the prior planning period will be used to assess feasibility of redevelopment on non-vacant sites. Mogovero Architects will also provide input on market and constructability based on their experiences in the region.
Urban Planning Partners will ensure sites are properly documented on the HCD-required Site Inventory spreadsheet and a map. The inventory will also include zone(s) where emergency shelters are allowed by- right. Urban Planning Partners will also include an analysis of how the sites are identified throughout the community in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing opportunities as required by Government Code Section 65583(c) (10). The AFFH analysis will be guided by ABAG’s Technical Assistance Program and HCD’s forthcoming memorandum. It is anticipated that one of the meetings with City staff will be to discuss the AFFH approach after more guidance on this topic is released.
TASK 6 DELIVERABLES:
Meeting materials for City staff working session
Admin Draft sites inventory scenarios (3) (one round of review and revision) Public Draft sites inventory scenarios (3)
VMT estimates
Task 7: GOALS, POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND QUANTIFIED OBJECTIVES Based on community feedback and the results of the analysis completed in Tasks 3-6, the Urban Planning Partners team will formulate draft goals and policies relative to the maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of housing for the City’s review. Once there is consensus on the goals and policies, the Urban Planning Partners team will develop programs and quantified objectives. The goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives will be directly tied to the housing needs, constraints, and key priorities identified in the update process and will be vetted in the community engagement process.
It is assumed that the objective development standards will be one housing program included in this section of the Housing Element. Others could include the following:
Program for pre-approved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) plans or other ADU streamlining measures
Legalization of tiny homes on wheels
A14
Code amendments or permitting process changes to facilitate cost-saving innovative construction methods like off-site construction or 3-D printing Clustered upzonings to allow a greater variety of housing types Financial support for low-income homebuyers
Partnership with Kaiser Permanente to promote healthy housing and financial resources for the creation and perseveration of affordable housing
Antioch-specific Density Bonus to provide greater incentives for needed housing types The programs developed in this task will be described in an eight-year schedule of actions that the City will undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element.
In addition, Urban Planning Partners and Fehr & Peers will provide a matrix identifying General Plan policies that are inconsistent with the Housing Element’s draft goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives. Fehr & Peers will also review various local and regional transportation plans to identify if development on Housing Element sites could potentially result in a conflict with an adopted policy or plan. The matrix will include a column showing in redline what updates or revisions are needed to achieve consistency. Fehr & Peers will lead the revision from the Circulation Element goals, policies and
programs, with particular emphasis on reflecting the new General Plan guidelines, incorporating new policies related to vehicle-miles of travel, consistency with the City’s greenhouse gas reduction goals, and considerations about emerging transportation technologies. The policies will combine Antioch’s local transportation context with best practices and policies prepared for similar jurisdictions in the Bay Area and California.
The consistency matrix could also include columns assigning a responsible party, the mechanism for implementation, and/or a due date to help facilitate implementation for City staff.
TASK 7 DELIVERABLES:
List of goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives (1 round of review and revision) Policy consistency matrix (1 round of review and revision) Task 8: REZONING
It is likely that some rezoning will be needed to accommodate a shortfall of sites, but the extent will be determined while developing the sites inventory. See the budget table for the level of effort assumed for this effort. This fee may or may not be sufficient depending on the number of sites that will need rezoning and if amendments are needed to the Zoning Code. If it is simply a matter of updating the zoning map to rezone sites with zoning districts that already exist, the effort will be minimal. However, if new or modified zoning districts are needed, the effort will be more robust. Once the sites inventory is close to final, we will revisit this task to refine our scope of work and fee.
TASK 8 DELIVERABLES:
Rezoning Program Scope and Fee
Zoning Code Amendments (rounds of review and other required deliverables will be outlined in the Rezoning Program Scope and Fee)

Task 9: DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT AND PUBLIC HEARINGS
Following HCD guidance, Urban Planning Partners will compile all the Housing Element pieces described above into the Administrative Draft Housing Element for City staff review and comment. Staff will provide a consolidated set of desired changes. Once edits are complete, Urban Planning Partners will provide a Public Draft Housing Element that is made available to the public and presented to both the Planning Commission and City Council at public hearings. Urban Planning Partners will prepare the staff reports and presentation materials needed for the public hearings.
Based on input received at the Commission and Council hearings, Urban Planning Partners will prepare a HCD review draft and transmit to HCD for the mandated review.

Task 10: FINAL DRAFT HEARINGS, FINAL ADOPTION AND CERTIFICATION Urban Planning Partners will work closely with HCD and jurisdiction staff to respond to any comments from HCD and produce a final draft Housing Element for adoption. This final draft will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council at public hearings. Any last comments from the Commission and Council hearings will be addressed before submitting the Housing Element to HCD for final certification. Urban Planning Partners will also transmit the final Housing Element to the water/sewer district and the California Office of Planning and Research and will perform the required CEQA noticing.

Task 11: CEQA DOCUMENTATION/VMT THRESHOLDS
Fehr & Peers will work with the City to develop VMT thresholds and policies under SB 743. Subsequently, Urban Planning Partners will prepare a programmatic EIR for consideration and adoption that analyzes the potential impacts associated with the Draft Housing Element. This effort will include subconsultants Fehr & Peers for the Transportation analysis and Baseline for Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions, Geology, Hazards, Hydrology, and Noise analyses. We have provided an estimated cost range to prepare a programmatic EIR in Section 4 of this proposal; however, a more detailed scope of work, fee, and schedule will be prepared once the draft VMT thresholds are developed, and the scope of rezoning is known.
A16
Task 11A. VMT Thresholds/SB 743 Implementation
1. REVIEW OF RELEVANT LOCAL PLANS + KICK-OFF MEETING
Fehr & Peers will assemble and review the local plans, policies, and ordinances that may have an impact or be impacted by the implementation of SB 743 guidelines and the use of Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) in the assessment of land use and transportation decisions within the City. This task includes a review of the City’s General Plan, Transportation Impact Guidelines, relevant Specific Plans/Community Plans, Climate Action Plan, RTP/SCS, and other documents identified as germane to the effort and its potential recommendations.
Fehr & Peers will conduct a kick-off meeting with relevant and interested City staff to review the overall scope and direction of the work effort. Topics of discussion within the kick-off framework include the following, to the extent necessary for the audience:
Overview of the scope for the study
An overview of VMT and SB 743
Project versus Cumulative impacts
Project-generated VMT versus project's effect on VMT
Relationship of VMT analysis to traditional Level of Service (LOS) analysis VMT relationship to fuel consumption, emissions, safety, and active transportation Concepts for thresholds of significance and mitigation of VMT impacts under CEQA Actions local jurisdictions may need to consider when implementing the requirements of SB 743 Study work products and outcomes
As part of the kick-off meeting City staff’s initial positions and preferences in four key areas of question will be discussed:
What methodology is preferred for estimating and forecasting VMT? What are the appropriate VMT thresholds for land use projects? Are VMT thresholds desired for transportation projects? What VMT reduction strategies are considered feasible for mitigation purposes? Model Review/Establish Baseline Vehicle Miles of Travel Fehr & Peers will conduct a review of the current versions of two existing travel demand models that cover the City of Antioch: the CCTA model and the MTC model. The basic model review will include the level of zonal detail, the land use inputs, the detail in the model roadway networks, the amount of trip length truncation that may exist in each model, and a comparison of the VMT results in the City of Antioch using the following metrics:
Total VMT per service population
Home-based VMT per resident
Home-based-work VMT per worker
If the model review indicates there are errors or substantial limitations in the applicability of the models, we will discuss these with the City and give an estimate of level of effort required to make adjustments.
Based on our knowledge of the modeling tools, we believe that some form of the CCTA travel demand model will be the most appropriate tool to evaluate VMT within the City of Antioch. The MTC model’s A17
lack of granularity will likely eliminate them from use for this purpose. The documentation from this task will help form substantial evidence of the applicability of the selected tool should there be a future CEQA challenge.
Fehr & Peers will compare the model based VMT estimates with observed data from the latest version of the California Household Travel Survey (CHTS) for reasonableness checking. Fehr & Peers has already processed the CHTS data to produce household generated VMT estimates for all cities and counties in California where sufficient sample sizes are available.
As part of the baseline data effort, they will generate a map of the Transit Priority Areas (TPAs) within Antioch. MTC has generated a TPA map for the entire Bay Area; however, in some instances Fehr & Peers have found the MTC map reflects out-of-date information about transit routes and frequencies, so they recommend generating a map specifically for Antioch where the accuracy of the information can be controlled.
2. DEVELOP VMT METHODOLOGIES AND THRESHOLDS
IDENTIFY, REVIEW & RECOMMEND POTENTIAL VMT CALCULATION METHODOLOGIES Based on the information assembled in section 2 above, Fehr & Peers will recommend a specific methodology that should be applied to estimate and forecast VMT. Since VMT is a function of the number of trips associated with a project and the distance those trips travel, the methodology will reflect recommendations on how to identify and estimate both of those parameters. In addition, the OPR Technical Advisory recommends analyzing the short-term and long-term effects of a project on VMT.
Fehr & Peers will identify a minimum of three potential VMT calculation methodologies for use by the City of Antioch. These methodologies will consider projects of varying size and scale. They will evaluate up to three projects using the VMT calculation methodologies to verify they are appropriate for use in Antioch and will recommend the implementation of one or more VMT calculation methodologies.
Documenting the VMT calculation approaches is also critical to this process so that future analysts will understand how to calculate and report VMT.
REVIEW POTENTIAL VMT THRESHOLDS
With input from the City, Fehr & Peers will review and analyze different VMT metrics (i.e., per capita, per employee, total VMT, home-based only, etc.) to determine the most appropriate metric to apply when establishing VMT thresholds within Antioch. They will also consider the amount of VMT mitigation that is determined to be achievable when recommending appropriate thresholds.
An important element of this task will be to determine what VMT baseline to use in defining a threshold of significance. Common options are citywide average, countywide average, or regional average (meaning the nine-county Bay Area region). Fehr & Peers will generate VMT baselines for all those geographic areas and work with City staff to determine which baseline is most appropriate for Antioch and can be supported by substantial evidence. Fehr & Peers will utilize the identified methodology to map “low VMT areas” (where VMT generated by land use in these areas is less than VMT generated by similar land uses in other areas of the City). Maps comparing VMT areas to the countywide average and A18
citywide average will be assembled to understand the potential effects of each decision relative to threshold setting. Fehr & Peers will discuss the potential for these maps to be used and streamline the process related to SB 743 assessment.
Note that the thresholds described here would apply to land use projects of varying types. Consideration will also be given to whether those same VMT thresholds could apply to land use plans (such as a General Plan or Specific Plan). In addition, they will work with the City on defining an approach to determine CEQA impacts of transportation projects. In many cases, this will involve defining the types of transportation projects that can be presumed to not cause a transportation impact. For projects where that cannot be presumed, the City will need to define an analysis methodology and significance threshold; the change in VMT associated with the project must be reported, but other metrics (such as vehicle delay or LOS) can also be used to define the project’s impacts.
DEVELOP, EVALUATE & RECOMMEND THRESHOLD ALTERNATIVES
Fehr & Peers will identify up to three potential thresholds that could be used for land use projects of varying sizes, types of uses, and other considerations. One likely threshold will be a set of screening criteria that could limit the need for detailed analysis on smaller scale projects; these criteria typically address characteristics such as project size and composition, and location in a Transit Priority Area or other low-VMT-generating area. They will test the alternative thresholds to see how they would apply to typical projects in Antioch and make a recommendation on potential thresholds that could be used in the City.
FACILITATE LEGAL REVIEW
Fehr & Peers will coordinate with the City Attorney’s office as they review the recommended methodologies and procedures. It is recommended that this review be conducted by an attorney who is familiar with CEQA matters, particularly as it relates to transportation impact analysis.
4. DEVELOPMENT OF VMT MITIGATION MEASURES
Fehr & Peers will review available data on strategies to reduce VMT, with a focus on those most applicable in settings like Antioch and will document a minimum of seven strategies. They will prioritize potential VMT reduction strategies, focusing on those that are applicable to common projects in Antioch and identifying the estimated level of VMT reduction that could be achieved in three different land use contexts within the City. Fehr & Peers will identify methodologies and approaches to quantify VMT reductions and will discuss needs for ongoing monitoring to ensure the mitigation measures continue to produce the expected VMT reductions.
Mitigating VMT impacts involves modifying the project so that it generates fewer total trips and/or reduces the length of the trips it generates. Methods by which these outcomes can be achieved include applying transportation demand management (TDM) strategies, adjusting parking requirements, modifying the type or intensity of uses included in the project definition, increasing the project’s access to transit and active transportation modes. Fehr & Peers will summarize the VMT-reducing effects of a range of mitigation measures agreed upon with the City, based upon state-of-the-practice research on A19
TDM effectiveness conducted for CAPCOA. They will incorporate recommendations from the CCTA on mitigation approaches and reflect CCTA guidelines to the extent applicable.
5. PREPARATION OF TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS GUIDELINES Fehr & Peers will prepare transportation impact analysis guidelines that document not only the VMT analysis procedures described above (i.e., baseline VMT data, tools, methodologies, and thresholds) but also other transportation-related analyses the City will require for development and infrastructure projects. The guidelines will consider the CEQA Guidelines and the OPR Technical Advisory plus additional suggested practices based on expectations established by case law and typical practice in Antioch. Fehr & Peers will consider relevant general plan policies, such as Level of Service policies, as well as other local and regional plans in the development of transportation impact study guidelines.
They will initiate this task with a brainstorming session with City staff to determine the transportation- related information that is integral to the project review and decision-making process, such as level of service assessments, multimodal analysis, detailed site plan review, consistency with adopted plans, and safety assessments. The TIA Guidelines will consider the size and context of projects, to be identified in consultation with City staff. The guidelines will also indicate which analyses are required for CEQA, versus which analyses are required to provide City staff and decision-makers sufficient information related to the transportation effects of projects such that appropriate conditions of approval can be tied to the project.
The Guidelines will also include a Site Design Checklist, reflecting recommended practices in incorporating multimodal design elements into projects. Some of these design elements will have a VMT-reduction focus and will be drawn from the VMT Mitigation Strategies described above. Other elements will have a focus on improving safety for users of multiple modes.
TASK 11A DELIVERABLES:
Draft VMT Analysis Guidelines, Methodologies and Thresholds + Draft Transportation Impact Study Guidelines
Final VMT Analysis Guidelines, Methodologies and Thresholds + Final Transportation Impact Study Guidelines
At this time, Fehr & Peers have not included the development of an on-line VMT calculation tool or a public outreach participation process. These items can be included if the City desires.
TASK 11B. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
1. EIR INITIATION
The following initiation tasks include drafting the project description. attending the EIR scoping meeting, and reviewing comments received on the EIR scope.
A20
Project Description
Crafting an appropriately detailed and illustrated project description is often one of the more challenging elements of an EIR. Urban Planning Partners will prepare a project description that identifies “the bookends” of the range of development that could occur with the Draft Housing Element sites. The project description will include a discussion of key characteristics of the sites and their vicinity, project objectives, details of the Draft Housing Element as relevant to CEQA, the required approvals, anticipated buildout, and approval for subsequent projects.
A draft of the project description will be submitted to the City for review and acceptance prior to the Urban Planning Partners team conducting any quantitative impact analyses. Up to two drafts will be prepared in response to comments received.
Notice of Preparation
Urban Planning Partners will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) that will include a brief project description and a determination that an EIR is the appropriate CEQA documentation. Up to two drafts will be prepared in response to City comments. An electronic file of the NOP will be provided to the City for posting on the City’s website and for distribution. Urban Planning Partners will submit the NOP to the State Clearinghouse and County Clerk.
As part of this task, Urban Planning Partners will also work with City staff to initiate tribal consultations that apply under Senate Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52. We will develop a notice with a map and project description for the City to distribute to applicable tribes.
Scoping Meeting
Urban Planning Partners will prepare for, attend, and present at one public scoping session before the Planning Commission. After the meeting, Urban Planning Partners will summarize and review all public comments and identify any changes required in the work program. We will ensure that each substantive comment received, including written and verbal, related to the scope of the EIR is addressed in the EIR.
Review of NOP Comments/ Work Program Refinement
It may be necessary to refine the scope of work in accordance with information compiled in the above subtasks and based on the preliminary findings. Following completion of the public comment period and receipt and review of all of the comments on the NOP, Urban Planning Partners will work with planning staff to refine the scope of work, if necessary, to address any new environmental issues identified in the NOP comments. Urban Planning Partners will present the revised scope of work and budget for review and approval to the City and will provide the revised budget to the development team.
2. DRAFT EIR
As part of this task, the Urban Planning Partners team will prepare the analysis necessary to support an EIR for each environmental topic relevant to the project in accordance with the City’s thresholds. The following topics will be analyzed as potentially significant impacts: land use and planning, aesthetic A21
resources, cultural resources, transportation, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, biological resources, geology and soils, noise, population and housing, public services, and utilities. All other topics are anticipated to be addressed as effects found to be less than significant (see below). An alternatives analysis will also be completed as part of the Draft EIR.
Effects Found to be Less Than Significant
Urban Planning Partners anticipates that the Housing Element impact relative to a number of environmental topics will not be significant including: agriculture and forestry resources, mineral resources, recreation, tribal cultural resources, and wildfire.
We will provide a brief discussion of each of these topics and document why the project’s impact will not be significant. We anticipate the level of analysis and discussion for these topics will be similar to what is typically be included in an Initial Study.
Plans and Policies
Urban Planning Partners will evaluate the Draft Housing Element goals, policies, and programs for consistency with applicable planning policy documents and will identify potential conflicts. We will utilize relevant information from the City of Antioch’s General Plan EIR and staff reports.
Policy conflicts are not, in and of themselves, considered to have a significant effect on the environment, and are therefore differentiated from the physical environmental impacts that will be identified in the setting, impacts, and mitigation measures chapter of the EIR. The physical impacts associated with such policy conflicts will be addressed in the appropriate technical sections of the EIR (e.g., air quality, noise).
The analysis will include a summary of each relevant plan and policy as it relates to the proposed project.
Policies that are applicable to the environmental topics evaluated in the EIR will be cross-referenced as part of the main EIR document.
Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures
The work conducted as part of this task will be incorporated into the administrative Draft EIR and will constitute the major portion of the Draft EIR. The impact analysis for each environmental topic will provide an analysis of impacts that could result from implementation of the Draft Housing Element based on the level of detail available. Construction, operation, and cumulative impacts will be evaluated for each topic using the significance criteria agreed upon with the City.
Each environmental topic section will include: (1) a description of the existing setting including regulatory setting and applicable standard conditions of approval (if any); (2) draft goals, policies, and programs from the Draft Housing Element relevant to the subject section (e.g., transportation, air quality); (3) significance criteria based on the thresholds established by the City or based on additional information available from State and regional agencies and other recent City EIRs; (4) evaluation of impacts that could result from implementation of Draft Housing Element; and (5) mitigation measures necessary to reduce potentially significant impacts. This scope does not include the preparation of separate technical A22
reports; all information and findings will be detailed in the EIR and as appropriate technical data in appendices to the EIR.
CEQA Required Assessment Conclusions
Urban Planning Partners will prepare the appropriate conclusions to fulfill CEQA requirements by providing an assessment of several mandatory impact categories, including:
Significant unavoidable environmental impacts;
Significant irreversible environmental changes; and
Relationship between local short-term uses of the environment and long-term productivity.
Urban Planning Partners will recommend which topics will be less than significant and will provide a brief discussion of each of these topics and document why the project’s impact will not be significant. We anticipate the level of analysis and discussion for these topics will be similar to what would typically be included in an Initial Study.
Alternatives Analysis
The Urban Planning Partners team will identify and evaluate up to three alternatives to the project, one of which will be the CEQA-required No Project Alternative. The alternatives will be developed in consultation with City staff. The alternatives will be based in part on the significant impacts of the project that are identified during the technical analysis phase of the Draft EIR process.
According to the CEQA Guidelines, alternatives can be evaluated in less detail than the project, and therefore we would propose that the alternatives analysis in the EIR be undertaken at a qualitative level.
The discussion will be of sufficient detail to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of each alternative and to provide some qualitative conclusions regarding the alternatives. Based on this analysis, the Environmentally Superior Alternative will be identified (as required by CEQA).
Administrative Draft EIR
The information developed in the above tasks will be organized into an administrative Draft EIR. The EIR is expected to include the following components:
Introduction
Summary
Project Description
Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures
Effects Found not to be Significant or Less than Significant Alternatives Analysis
CEQA-Required Assessments and Conclusions
Report Preparation and References
Technical Appendices (as needed)
Urban Planning Partners will review recent environmental documents (complete and/or in process) to make certain that approaches, assumptions, methodologies, and impact conclusions for the project are A23
consistent with other environmental documents. Where appropriate, Urban Planning Partners will coordinate and discuss such with subconsultants working on the project.
Urban Planning Partners will prepare one (1) electronic copy of the administrative Draft EIR and submit to the City for review and comment. We will accommodate on-going dialogue with the City between completion of the administrative Draft EIR and the screencheck Draft EIR.
Screencheck Draft EIR
Upon receipt of the City comments on the administrative draft, Urban Planning Partners will prepare a screencheck draft. A redline version of the draft will be provided, showing the explicit changes made.
Urban Planning Partners will provide one (1) electronic copy of the screencheck draft for review and comment.
Public Draft EIR
Urban Planning Partners will make any necessary revisions to the screencheck draft and prepare the Draft EIR for publication. We will provide one (1) electronic copy to the City for distribution. Urban Planning Partners will also prepare and submit the Notice of Availability and Notice of Completion and assist the City with noticing and distribution.
Urban Planning Partners will maintain all materials referenced in the environmental document and promptly provide such materials to the City upon request. Draft EIR Hearings Urban Planning Partners will attend up to two (2) public hearings on the Draft EIR; the purpose of the hearing is to provide the Planning Commission and the public an opportunity to comment on the Draft EIR. Urban Planning Partners will prepare a presentation on the findings of the Draft EIR and will be available to answer questions.
Administrative Record
Urban Planning Partners will compile and organize the EIR portion of the Administrative Record. The record will include all referenced technical reports and would be transmitted to the City in a format consistent with the City’s standard for Administrative Records. The record will be kept current and would be provided to the City at key milestones.
3. FINAL EIR/RESPONSE TO COMMENTS DOCUMENT
Administrative Draft RTC
Urban Planning Partners will prepare the Response to Comments (RTC) document on the project following the public review period.
Immediately following the completion of the 45-day public review period, Urban Planning Partners will meet with City staff to discuss any comments received during the public review period and the approach to take in responding to the comments. Urban Planning Partners will incorporate public and/or agency A24
comments received on the Draft EIR and the responses to these comments (as appropriate) into one final document for publication and distribution. One (1) electronic copy will be provided to the City for review and comment.
Our cost estimate includes the level of professional effort assumed for this task. Should an unexpectedly large volume of comments be submitted, an adjustment in the budget to cover work beyond the assumed level would be needed.
Screencheck Draft RTC Document
Upon receipt of the City comments on the final administrative draft, Urban Planning Partners will consolidate and reconcile comments and prepare a screencheck draft. A redline version of the draft will be provided, showing the explicit changes made. Urban Planning Partners will provide one (1) electronic copy of the screencheck draft for review and comment.
Final RTC Document
Urban Planning Partners will make any necessary revisions to the screencheck draft and prepare the Final RTC document for publication. We will provide one (1) electronic copy, including all appendices to the City for distribution.
Final EIR Certification hearings
Urban Planning Partners will attend up to two (2) public hearings for certification of the EIR, will prepare a presentation on the Final EIR, and be available to respond to questions, as necessary.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings Urban Planning Partners will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for this project and will identify responsibility for implementing and monitoring each mitigation measure, along with monitoring triggers and reporting frequency. The MMRP will be submitted to City staff for review with the administrative Draft Final EIR and revised based upon City comments. Urban Planning Partners will prepare the CEQA findings, and if necessary, a Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Task 12: OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS
Developing successful Objective Design standards for the City of Antioch is an opportunity beyond just meeting State requirements. It’s a chance to provide sustainable standards that effectively streamline quality development throughout the city. In order to complete Objective Design Standards for Antioch, Mogavero Architects, in partnership with Urban Planning Partners, will complete the following tasks:
Case Study Review. Review objective standards promulgated by other communities from an applicant perspective.
Best Practices Audit. Provide a list of the most applicable standards to use for the City of Antioch. Urban Planning Partners and Mogavero Architects will review best practices identified with City staff and finalize a list of desired standards. Draft Standards. Mogavero Architects and Urban Planning Partners will work in tandem to develop draft Objective Design Standards. It is assumed that implementation of the standards will be simple, which 2-3 subsets by neighborhood or zoning. The exact implementation approach will be discussed at the kick-off meeting.
Final Objective Design Standards. Urban Planning Partners will incorporate final objective design standards into final Housing Element presentation to council.
TASK 12 DELIVERABLES:
Best Practices List
Draft objective standards (one round of review and revision) Final objective standards
Task 13: OPTIONAL: SAFETY ELEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT UPDATES Updates to the Housing Element trigger updates to the Safety Element, and updates of two or more General Plan Elements trigger the need to infuse environmental justice policies into the General Plan in cities and counties with disadvantaged communities per SB 1000. This can be done through a separate Environmental Justice Element or by integrating related goals, policies, and objectives throughout the other elements. We understand that portions of northwest Antioch do include disadvantaged communities as defined in SB 1000 and mapped by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. For an additional fee, Urban Planning Partners can take on these element updates. This item would be discussed at our kick-off meeting and could be included in our revised scope and fee if the City desires this additional work.

RE: C ITY OF ANTIOCH ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ELEMENT UPDATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
ELEMENT
Dear Mr. Ebbs,
Urban Planning Partners is pleased to submit this proposal to provide consultant services to the City of Antioch for completion of the City’s Safety Element (which will involve updating the existing Environmental Hazards Element) and completing the Environmental Justice Element. Below we’ve outlined our project understanding, brief scope of work, and the associated fee for services.
PROJECT TEAM
Urban Planning Partners (UPP) work will be managed by Curtis Banks, AICP, Project Director and Carla Violet, Senior Planner, with oversight from Diana Elrod, Project Advisor. If needed, other planning staff will be available to provide support in research, writing, and analysis.
We understand that this work will happen concurrently with the ongoing Housing Element update and take significant coordination given its complexity. This proposal confirms the availability of key staff listed above to conduct the work necessary to complete the Environmental Hazards Element update and Environmental Justice Element in a timely and efficient manner. The level of participation by each key staff member is detailed in the budget/timetable attached.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The project includes the scope of work proposed in Optional Task 13 of the City of Antioch Housing Element Proposal for Services. The Environmental Hazards Element update needs to be revised concurrent to the 6th Cycle Housing Element. Consistent with Government Code Section 65302(g), the element must address the following topics: seismic hazards; tsunami, seiche, and dam failure; slope instability; subsidence; liquefaction; flooding, wildland and urban fires; and climate change.
Under SB 1000, jurisdictions that update two or more General Plan elements simultaneously are required to adopt an Environmental Justice Element in their General Plan or integrate environmental justice polices and goals into the elements. The Environmental Justice Element or integrated policies must reduce unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities.
A28
The update to the Housing and Environmental Hazards elements triggers this requirement for the City of Antioch. Our understanding is that the City would prefer to adopt a separate Environmental Justice Element.
SCOPE OF WORK
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ELEMENT
PHASE 1 PROJECT INITIATION AND ANALYSIS
Urban Planning Partners will coordinate with City of Antioch departments including Police, Public Works, and the Building Division as well as the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to update the General Plan Environmental Hazards Element. Based on discussions with staff, we can identify any other applicable outside agencies that should be involved. This will involve coordination with efforts to identify housing sites, as well as ensuring consistency with existing and new State laws concurrent with the Housing Element update.
TASK 1A Data Gathering
Urban Planning Partners will use available documents including State, regional, and local resources to determine areas of necessary review. These documents include, but are not limited, to the following:
OPR General Plan Guidelines
Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (2018) City of Antioch Climate Action and Resilience Plan (2020) City of Antioch Environmental Hazards Element (2003)
TASK 1B Draft Goals and Policies
Urban Planning Partners will present draft goal, objective, policy and implementation measure amendment language that is detailed enough for the public to fully understand.
TASK 1C Public Outreach
Public outreach for the Environmental Hazards Element update will be outlined as part of the outreach strategy memo (Housing Element Proposal for Services, Task 2A). Urban Planning Partners will build on previous outreach for the Climate Action and Resilience Plan and engagement efforts for the Housing Element. We will supplement previous outreach with the following activities:
A29
One (1) Planning Commission or City Council Study Session (can be part of the Housing Element Planning Commission study session or separate) including staff report and meeting presentation preparation.
Environmental Hazards Element update content for one (1) of the virtual community meetings for the Housing Element update.
Tabling at one (1) community event such as the Rivertown Art & Wine Walk to increase awareness for the Environmental Hazards Element and Housing Element updates and collect community input.
PHASE 2 ADMINISTRATIVE AND DRAFT DOCUMENTS
The second phase of this process will include preparation and review of the administrative and final draft versions of the Environmental Hazards Element update. It is assumed that the EIR prepared in association with the Housing Element will also analyze the Environmental Hazards Element update.
Review of the environmental document is included in the Housing Element scope of work.
Urban Planning Partners will prepare an administrative draft Environmental Hazards Element update for review and approval. After one round of staff review and comments, we will provide a public review draft.
The Environmental Hazards Element update will be drafted for consistency with State law requirements and to reflect the General Plan land use and other policy changes within the Housing Element for internal consistency. Where possible, the Environmental Hazards Element update will reference existing documents, provide the necessary information, and build on the work the City has done to analyze and address safety issues.
PHASE 3 ADOPTION AND FINAL DOCUMENTS
Phase 3 includes the final hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council required for adoption of the Final Environmental Hazards Element update, and production of the final document. This scope of work assumes that Urban Planning Partners will prepare the staff report and presentation materials needed for public hearings and staff will conduct the presentation.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT
PHASE 1 PROJECT INITIATION AND ANALYSIS
Urban Planning Partners will coordinate with City of Antioch staff including Fire, Police, Building, Code Enforcement, Environmental Resources, the Economic Development Department, and the Recreation Department. Based on discussions with staff, we can identify any other applicable A30
outside agencies that should be involved. This will involve ensuring consistency with existing and new State laws, as well as the following:
Identifying disadvantaged communities
Identifying key stakeholders for any disadvantaged communities Identifying resources and level of analysis needed to meet SB 1000 requirements Reviewing relevant, existing policies and programs
TASK 1A Data Gathering and Existing Conditions Presentation Urban Planning Partners will utilize available resources to identify any disadvantaged communities with Antioch, including CalEnviroScreen and review of median incomes by census tract. A Disadvantaged Community is specifically defined as an area identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency Pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code or an area that is a low-income area that is disproportionality affected by environmental pollution and other health hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation. (Gov Code 65302, subd (h)(4)(A).
Urban Planning Partners will use available documents including State, regional, and local resources to identify “unique or compounded health risks” in disadvantaged communities and review existing policies and programs that relate to these health outcomes. To comply with SB 1000, the City of Antioch must analyze and seek to:
Reduce pollution exposure;
Promote public facilities;
Promote food access;
Promote safe and sanitary homes;
Promote physical activity;
Reduce unique or compounded health risks;
Promote civic engagement; and
Prioritize the needs of disadvantaged communities.
To understand existing conditions, Urban Planning Partners will review and collect data relevant to these health outcomes. Resources include, but are not limited to, the following:
BAAQMD SB1000 Interactive Map;
CalEnviroScreen;
OPR’s General Plan Guidelines;
OPR’s Defining Vulnerable Communities in the Context of Climate Adaptation; City of Antioch General Plan;
City of Antioch Climate Action and Resilience Plan;
California Health Disadvantage Database;
CARB’s Low-Income Database; and
Contra Costa County Health Services.
A31
Urban Planning Partners will also work with staff to identify other local organizations and agencies that may have existing data relevant to the health outcomes discussed above. Based on the data and public outreach collected, we will prepare an existing conditions PowerPoint presentation.
TASK 1B Draft Goals and Policies
Urban Planning Partners will present draft goal, objective, policy and implementation measure amendment language that is detailed enough for the public to fully understand.
TASK 1C Public Outreach
Public outreach for the Environmental Justice Element will be outlined as part of the outreach strategy memo (Housing Element Proposal for Services, Task 2A). Urban Planning Partners will build on previous outreach for the Climate Action and Resilience Plan and engagement efforts for the Housing Element. We will conduct outreach in areas identified as disadvantaged communities and supplement previous outreach with the following activities:
One (1) Planning Commission or City Council Study Session (can be part of the Housing Element Planning Commission study session or separate) including staff report and meeting presentation preparation.
Tabling at two (2) events such as outside of Cielo Market or a popular community park (e.g., Worth Shaw Community Park or Contra Loma Regional Park) to increase awareness for the Environmental Justice Element and collect community input. Two (2) focused stakeholder interviews with local health services organizations. Environmental Justice Element content for one (1) of the virtual community meetings for the Housing Element update.
One (1) Spanish-language virtual community meeting focused on the Environmental Justice Element and hosted by InterEthnica.
PHASE 2 ADMINISTRATIVE AND DRAFT DOCUMENTS
The second phase of this process will include preparation and review of the administrative and final draft versions of the Environmental Justice Element. It is assumed that the EIR prepared in association with the Housing Element will also analyze the Environmental Justice Element. Review of the environmental document is included in the Housing Element scope of work.
Urban Planning Partners will prepare an administrative draft Environmental Justice Element for review and approval. After one round of staff review and comments, we will provide a public review draft.
The Environmental Justice Element will be drafted for consistency with State law requirements and to reflect the General Plan land use and other policy changes within the Housing Element for internal consistency. Where possible, the Environmental Justice Element will reference existing A32
documents, provide the necessary information, and build on the work the City has done to analyze and address health equity issues.
PHASE 3 ADOPTION AND FINAL DOCUMENTS
Phase 3 includes the final hearings by the Planning Commission and City Council required for adoption of the Final Environmental Justice Element, and production of the final document. This scope of work assumes that Urban Planning Partners will prepare the staff report and presentation materials needed for public hearings and staff will conduct the presentation.
SCHEDULE
We are available to begin work immediately and will work with the City on a mutually-agreed-upon schedule. Analysis and public outreach would be completed in tandem with the Housing Element wherever possible. Completion of the Housing Element’s draft sites inventory will be needed to complete analysis in the Environmental Hazards Element related to residential development.
BUDGET ESTIMATE
Our estimated fee for the Environmental Hazards Element update is $42,720 as shown in the attached Table 1. Our estimated fee for the Environmental Justice Element is $64,720 as shown in the attached Table 2.
Both fees represent our initial estimate based on the requirements discussed with the City. We are happy to work with the City to adjust the scope and budget as needed to best meet the City’s needs.
We look forward to assisting you on this project. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please call us at (510) 251-8210.

Re: Antioch Housing and Environmental Hazards Element and EJ Update - Contract Modification #2
Dear Anne,
This letter is to request an increase in our current NTE amount by an additional $157,300. The scope of work and estimated fee to prepare the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is the primary driver for this contract modification request. There are also adjustments requested based on the level of effort expended to date and a misunderstanding around the contingency fee included in the original estimated fee. These are all descr ibed below.
As you know, our contract is a time-and-materials contract with a NTE amount without prior authorization. We will continue to only invoice the City for time spent on the project. Our current NTE authorization is $660,205, consisting of an NTE of $552,765 for Housing Element, $42,720 for the Environmental Hazards Element, and $64,720 for the Environmental Justice (EJ) policies. The Environmental Hazards and EJ components of the project were authorized by Amendment No. 1 of the contact, dated July 21, 2021.
As we’ve worked on the Housing Element Update, there have been several factors that affect our NTE amount and the need for this request:
1. Sites Inventory Assumptions. Urban Planning Partners had assumed use of ABAG’s Housing Element Site Selection (HESS) tool for the sites inventory analysis and presumed this tool would automate much of the work behind the sites inventory analysis. When it became clear that the data in the HESS tool was not accurate, we pivoted to using GIS for the sites inventory. Data discrepancies and data management needs far exceeded our anticipated level of effort as we had to navigate conflicting data related to parcel sizes, APNs, General Plan Land Use Designations, and existing land use. Urban Planning Partners acknowledges some of the difficulties during this time were related to our staff changes and inefficiencies and is not seeking an amendment for related costs. However, substantial time was spent discovering and correcting errors in the data that was provided to us and managing a A37
Anne Hersch
April 11, 2022
much larger data set than we had anticipated across GIS and Excel (instead of the consolidated HESS tool).
2. AFFH and HCD Expectations. Since scoping this work in March 2021, HCD released an 89-page guidance document for Housing Elements and AFFH requirements. In addition, lessons from SCAG and other COGs ahead of the Bay Area have revealed HCD’s high expectations around AFFH requirements.
Given the project’s timeline, Urban Planning Partners has had to perform an assessment of fair housing in absence of deliverables or a clear schedule of anticipated deliverables from the Contra Costa County Collaborative. The assessment has included analyzing geospatial data from HCD’s AFFH Data Viewer and mapping our sites inventory on top of demographic data.
3. CEQA Scope. When scoping the project in March 2021, we had used a placeholder range for the cost of an EIR given uncertainties around the project description. The authorized scope of work stipulated that the level of effort for CEQA would be revisited once the site inventory and rezonings were better defined. Now that we know we have over 180 sites, the level of effort has increased from what we had previously predicted. The total EIR cost was estimated at $257,950 in the original contract. The budget for the updated EIR scope found in Attachment A is $334,181, which makes for an unmet need of $76,231. This is the amount requested in this contract modification, as shown below. The EIR budget table found in Attachment A shows our estimated labor by personnel, including subconsultants to complete the technical sections. The estimate is greater than originally estimated due to several factors, including the magnitude of the sites inventory, the personnel needed to meet expedited deadlines, and a higher level of effort required from subconsultants than anticipated. We also request including a 10 percent contingency fee for the EIR ($33,418) to help with things like a higher volume of response to comments during FEIR preparation or strategy meetings that may be needed. The EIR contingency fee would not be used without prior authorization.
4. Standing Meetings and Contingency Fee. Our original budget proposal included a 10 percent contingency fee of $47,651 for the Housing Element update, yet we are realizing that this contingency fee is not included in our NTE amount of $552,765 for the Housing Element. We believe this was an error, as we have already received the City’s permission to dip into the contingency fee to hold our standing biweekly meetings which were not originally scoped. We are therefore requesting formal approval of the $47,651 contingency fee within the umbrella of the Housing Element update.
The total budget needed to cover the costs explained above is $157,300. See the breakdown outlined below. • Out of scope sites inventory labor $4,175
• Assessment of Fair Housing and AFFH requirements $10,000 • Unmet need for EIR scope of work, including the following technical analyses: $76,231 o Cogstone (Tribal Cultural Resources)
o Baseline Environmental Consulting (Air Quality, GHG, Energy, Noise and Vibration, Hydrology and Water Quality, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials) o Environmental Collaborative (Biological Resources)
• Requested EIR Contingency Fee $33,418
• Housing Element Contingency Fee $47,651

RE: A NTIOCH HOUSING, ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ) ELEMENT UPDATES – CONTRACT MODIFICATION #3
Dear Zoe,
This letter
is to request an increase in our current NTE amount by an additional $67,772 to our current contract dated June 8, 2021. We have grouped our efforts into two categories:
1. Unanticipated Level of Effort (through June 2023)
2. Future Level of Effort (July through October 2023)
1. UNANTICIPATED LEVEL OF EFFORT:
As of June 30, 2023, UPP is over budget by approximately $27,595 for the Housing Element and $23,541 for the EJ Element. UPP will be writing down 20-25% of the overage for each Element to make up for inefficiencies related to our staffing changes and to help share in the cost overruns with the city. This amount does not include any time spent on this contract modification. Therefore, the amount requested is reduced to $22,076 and $17,641 for the Housing Element and EJ Element, respectively. Please also note that in 2022, UPP wrote down an additional $5,720 for the EJ Element to make up for overages related to the data collection/mapping analysis. The combined amount written down for both projects is $17,139. A more detailed breakdown of our out-of-scope work is described below:
Housing Element. The overage on the Housing Element is primarily due to the extensive analyses/revisions required by HCD to complete drafts of the document, several calls with HCD, as well as overall project duration given that the original scope and fee assumed a project end date of January 2023. As previously mentioned, UPP is writing down about 20% of the overage or $5,519. • Project Management and Coordination
o Meetings
. Our original scope and fee assumed 12 meetings for the duration of the project (ending by January 2023). We have continued to meet between February and June 2023 to work through HCD’s comments.
A43
Zoe Merideth
July 6, 2023
• Housing Element Update
o HCD Revisions Housing Element (#2) Submitted February 2023. Responding to HCD comments received in September 2022 required more back and forth with the HCD reviewer and the City than anticipated including additional AFFH analysis, policy revisions, and a more robust analysis of the suitability of sites. More effort was also required to analyze potential governmental constraints. o HCD Revisions Housing Element (#3) Anticipated July 2023. A number of more specific comments were introduced in HCD’s April 2023 letter, including the need for additional AFFH analysis, more information on suitability of nonvacant sites, and additional analysis to satisfy Assembly Bill 2339 (Emergency Shelters).
Environmental Justice Element. The overage on the EJ Element is primarily due to this being a new requirement per State law. When scoping, it was difficult to assess the level of effort as this was unchartered territory. As previously mentioned, UPP is writing down 25% of the overage or $5,900. This is in addition to the $5,720 that was written down in 2022. • Project Initiation and Analysis
o Data Gathering, Mapping, and Stakeholder Outreach. More effort was required collecting data and preparing maps demonstrating existing conditions, especially related to pollution exposure and healthy food access. Additional time was also spent determining which stakeholders to reach out to and then coordinating with them (Contra Costa Health Services, First 5 Contra Costa, and other CBOs) to inform the EJ analysis.
• Administrative and Draft Documents
o Draft Goals, Policies, and Programs. Crafting goals, policies, and programs for the EJ Element was more time intensive than originally scoped.
2. FUTURE LEVEL OF EFFORT:
UPP requests an additional $23,690 to complete the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update and $4,365 to complete the EJ Element.
Housing Element
• Project Management and Coordination ($4,350)
o Meetings. Our original scope and fee assumed 12 meetings for the duration of the project (ending by January 2023). The current schedule for the Housing Element is now anticipated through October 2023 if a third round of HCD comments are received in September. We have assumed biweekly meetings for July through October 2023.
• Housing Element Update ($19,340)
o HCD Revisions Housing Element (#3) Anticipated July 2023. We will continue working with HCD and the City to implement edits in response to HCD comments received in April 2023. This includes revising many of the graphics throughout the document to address changes to the site inventory (e.g., moving the Vierra sites out of the RHNA).This contract modification will also cover the cost to publish the A44
Zoe Merideth
July 6, 2023
Housing Element Draft #3 for public review and implement revisions based on public comments before sending to HCD.
o HCD Revisions Housing Element (#4). Based on experience from other jurisdictions and the number of comments received on the first and second letters from HCD, the City may receive a third round of comments in the Fall of 2023 which would require preparation of a Housing Element #4. This contract modification will also cover one additional Planning Commission meeting plus staff report preparation (if needed).
Environmental Justice Element ($4,365)
• Phase 3 Adoption and Final Documents
o City Council Meeting. This amount will cover the remaining City Council meeting, including staff report preparation and Council presentation. o Final EJ Element. If City Council comments require changes to the EJ Element, this contingency assumes minor revisions to prepare a final document.
Budget
UPP requests a modification to increase the current not-to exceed fee by an additional $66,772, to cover the unanticipated level of effort through June 2023 and the future work needed to complete the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update by the Fall of 2023 (see Table 1 below).

WHEREAS, the City Council duly gave notice of public hearing as required by law; and
WHEREAS, on January 11, 2022, the City Council duly held a public hearing on the matter, and received and considered evidence, both oral and documentary.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council makes the following required findings for approval of a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map:
1. The Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, design and improvements are consistent with the General Plan, as required by Section 66473. 5 of the Subdivision Map Act and the City' s Subdivision Regulations. The site has a proposed General Plan Designation of High Density Residential and the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map will accommodate uses that are consistent with the proposed General Plan designation.
2. The project proposed by the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map for Condominium Purposes complies with the rules, regulations, standards and criteria of the City' s Subdivision Regulations. The City' s Planning and Engineering staff have reviewed the Vesting Tentative Subdivision map and evaluated the effects of the map proposed and have determined that the Vesting Tentative Map, as conditioned, complies with and conforms to all the applicable rules, regulations, standards, and a
criteria of the City' s Subdivision Regulations.
3. The Project' s conditions of approval protect the public safety, health and general welfare of the users of the project and surrounding area. In addition, the conditions ensure the project is consistent with all applicable City standards.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council makes the following findings for approval of a Final Development Plan:
1. Each individual unit of the development can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability, and the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses but instead will have a beneficial effect which could not be achieved under another zoning district because the project will provide new housing options to the area while remaining compatible with existing surrounding development. The project is designed to function independently while remaining interconnected through pathways and access for both vehicles and pedestrians.
2. The streets and thoroughfares proposed meet the standards of the city' s Growth Management Program and adequate utility service can be supplied to all phases of the development because the Project design minimizes traffic impacts to the existing street system and encourages internal pedestrian circulation within the development. The Project will be required to construct all required streets and B2

5. Any industrialcomponentconformsto applicabledesirable standardsand will constitute an efficient, well- organized development with adequate provisions for railroad and/or truck access and necessary storage and will not adversely affect adjacent or surrounding development. There are no industrial components of the project.
6. Any deviationfrom the standardzoningrequirementsis warrantedby the design and additional amenities incorporated in the final development plan which offer certain unusual redeeming features to compensate for any deviations that may be permitted. The proposedPD zone was intendedto allow for currentand future flexibilityin development. Minordeviationsto developmentstandardshave been incorporated into the Wild Horse Multifamily Project Planned Development Ordinance that respond to specific limitations, including topography and existing infrastructure, of the project site.

8. The P-D District conforms to the General Plan of the city because the amendment to the General Plan to change the designation of the site to High Density Residential allows continues to allow residential development to occur at the site while allowingflexibilityof developmenttypes. The intent of the GeneralPlan is being maintained.
