2. REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT IN RESPONSE TO HCD
COMMENTS
City Manager Rodericks presented the item with revisions to the Draft Housing Element to include changes based on the HCD comments. He reported that the Housing unit table and related ADU production estimates did not match the final direction of that the Council gave on December 17, 2022, will be corrected, and will be reflected in any associated narrative changes.
There has also been some additional data and narrative added in direct response to comments.
There are a few other minor areas of corrective text changes that will be made but the current draft is presented in an overall final form. He presented possible discussions points such as 23 Oakwood, the Gilmore House, properties along Bay Road and properties along El Camino Real.
He noted that discussion of the 23 Oakwood property be considered as a rezone, not an overlay, and consider adding 20 units to per acre to meet the very low and low-income categories but added that anything less than 20 units per acre then it would not qualify as very-low and low income but as moderate or above moderate.
Rodericks informed Council that if the Gilmore House were to be included in the Housing Element, he suggested that it would be a rezone at 20 units per acre and that the Town could build 6 to 10 housing units on the site. Regarding properties along Bay Road and El Camino Real, the suggestion to Council is that minimum as an overlay would be 20 units per acre.
Lastly, Rodericks noted the deadline of January 31, 2023, for the submission of the Final Housing Element to the State.
Council member Lewis questioned if there were any specific recommendations that would meet the requirements and address the HCD comments.
Town of Atherton City Council Special Meeting Minutes – January 11, 2023
Nazanin Salehi informed Council that HCD is concerned about the lack the multi-family zoning, fair housing analysis regarding the ADU and SB 9 program, and the lack of planning for housing for the extremely low-income housing similarly with housing for individuals with disabilities.
Diana Elrod added that the focus would be on multi-family housing and zoning to accommodate the lower income through ADU will not be sufficient with the State.
Vice Mayor Hawkins-Manuelian questioned if the multi-family housing proposal on schools is insufficient. Diana responded that the housing would need to meet the criteria of low-income housing and address fair housing needs to be available to other people besides staff and students.
Nazinin commented that adding designated sites reduces the risks of future issue and demonstrates adequate sites to meet the criteria.
City Attorney Ebrahimi commented that on page 67 of the draft housing element there is language based on correspondence with the college president and staff that there is interest in developing that a multi-family housing. She clarified that the purpose of the Housing Element is allow for future development to be allowed to meet the State’s requirements, but it is not under the Town’s obligation to ensure that the development occurs. The government code in the Housing Element discusses that when a jurisdiction plans for a 20 unit per acre multi-family project, that is presumptively meeting the very low and low-income needs.
City Manager Rodericks clarified that including Menlo College in the housing element in the sixth cycle requires a development to be in place.
Council member DeGolia commented that he had a conversation with Steve Weiner about the school being offered funds to discuss schematic of the development but there is no official letter. Additionally, he questioned about the issue of financing and if it was related to adding the school to the current cycle. City Attorney Ebrahimi confirmed that the programs that are offered in the town's housing element need to be capable of being accomplished.
Council member Holland asked for further clarification regarding financing. City Manager Rodericks confirmed that the school is facing a financing issue and although the Town is not required to fund, it would be in the best interest to consider that. Additionally, he informed Council that the developer for 23 Oakwood may take advantage of the Builder’s Remedy without a multi-family housing option.

City Manager Rodericks added that if Town moves in the direction of multi-family housing then an Inclusionary Ordinance will be presented to Council for consideration.
Council discussed utilize property at Holbrook-Palmer Park for multi-family housing and along El Camino Real
Council member DeGolia commented that there are deed restrictions for Holbrook-Palmer Park and use of the park for multi-family housing could risk losing the property to Stanford. He expressed that he is not in support of 23 Oakwood nor does he support any zoning changes, permanent or overlay, unless it is with a 20% Inclusionary Ordinance requiring low-income options.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING
1. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO REPEAL THE 20152022HOUSING ELEMENT AND REPLACE IT WITH THE 20232031 HOUSING ELEMENT (SIXTH CYCLE).
Mayor Widmer indicated that he would ask Council to provide comments on the item prior to receiving public comments in an attempt to address questions or comments the public may have.
Council member Holland recused herself on any discussion related to the Overlay to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest due to the location of her property. City Attorney Ebrahimi added context related to the recusal and noted there were no legal concerns with the Council members participation in the Overlay conversation. Ebrahimi noted that the FPPC has considered elected official participation in General Plan update decisions including Housing Elements and adopted regulations 18702.2c which allows participation of local officials when deciding on Housing Elements, when specific factors are met.
City Manager Rodericks introduced the staff report providing the CEQA information related to the Housing Element and the requirements around approval and adoption. He clarified that a full CEQA study would be later conducted and combined with any future zoning amendments or changes when they are considered. Rodericks continued by reciting the Council direction at the January 11, 2023, meeting. He shared several risks of not having an approved Housing Element including loss of land use control and the Builders Remedy.

Town of Atherton City Council Special Meeting Minutes – January 31, 2023
Council member Holland left the dais as per her recusal at 2:12 PM City Attorney noted that she can return for Public Comment.
Widmer indicated that the Council would discuss the potential Upzone first and Ebrahimi confirmed that Holland could participate in that conversation.
Holland returned at 2:14 p.m.
Council held a discussion on the Upzone option along El Camino Real within Town boundaries and after receiving comments from each member of Council a consensus was reached that there was no support to include an upzone along El Camino Real.
Council continued with a discussion on including the 23 Oakwood property citing reasons to include such risks related to the Builders Remedy, having a willing property owner, access to transit, and having an inclusionary multi-family housing option within the plan.
Rodericks clarified that design standards must be objective and not subjective adding that the standards cannot be imposed in a manner that prevent development for taking place and any applicable changes to the proposed overlay, RM-10 Zone, would apply to all RM-10 Zones within Town.
Ebrahimi provided context related to what action the Council would be taking today, which is to adopt the Housing Element and submit to HCD, who would then review it for certification. She clarified that the Housing Element by itself is a chapter within the Town’s General Plan and alone does not amend or change any zoning rules within Town. She clarified that additional zoning and municipal code changes would be needed at a later date in order to effectuate the changes.
Holland left at 2:49 PM Due to Recusal for the Overlay conversation.
Council continued the discussion picking up the topic of the Overlay with members indicating a desire to keep in line with a defined set of criteria for inclusion, limiting an Overlay to major transit areas along El Camino at entry points into Town.
Rodericks noted that the State has provided clarity around the requirement of multi-family housing by combining rules and addressing exclusionary housing or other barriers.
Council discussed limiting height restrictions at the property and adding rules related to setback requirements, fencing and landscape screening to limit the impact on the neighbors.

Of the total amount, $27,092,597 is listed as “non-restricted” and although may be listed as such, this amount is not all available for spending. “Non-restricted” is to mean not legally restricted but the Town does have obligations and unfunded liabilities that must or may be met with non-restricted funds.

Insight Asset Management provides non-discretionary investment advisory services to the Town for investments. Staff is working in conjunction with Insight to ensure cash and investments adhere to our goals of safety, liquidity, and yield. To facilitate the trading and safekeeping of securities, Principal serves as the safe-keeping agent for the Town.
With a reduced need for liquidity for the Town Center project, staff anticipates reinvesting maturing funds. Staff will continue to ensure cash liquidity of funds are readily available for operational needs. LAIF offers the most liquidity and as of December 31, 2022 holds $10,488,561.

FIXED INCOME MARKET REVIEW
As of December 31, 2022
TOWN OF ATHERTON
Chart 1: The Fed adjusted its dot plot again, but to a lower extent againSource: Federal Reserve, December 31, 2022Chart 2: Wage growth remained strongSource: Bloomberg, December 31, 2022 Economic Indicators and Monetary Policy
The Federal Reserve, as expected, announced a “downshift” in its policy tightening. It raisedthe upper bound of its policy rate by 50bp, from 4% to 4.5%, following four consecutive 75bphikes. The Fed was, however, clear that it still has more hiking to do in 2023. Fed Chair Powellstated that rates are still “not sufficiently restrictive”. The Fed once again raised its “dot plot”projections, albeit to a lesser extent than they have at each quarterly meeting this year (seeChart 1). The Fed's most notable (and most anticipated) change was to its 2023 year-endforecast, now at 5.13%, up from 4.65%. Only two of the 19 voting members projected a lowerrate (at 4.88%).For the second month in a row, inflation came in lower than expected. Headline CPI was 0.1%month-on-month and core CPI was 0.2%, taking the year-on-year figures to 7.1% (the lowestsince last December) and 6% (the lowest since July), respectively. Most areas of the reportoffered good news, outside of the stubborn rental and food components. For the secondmonth in a row, core goods prices were in deflation, this time at -0.4% month-on-month. Usedcar prices were the second largest negative contributor and leading indicators, such as theManheim Used Car Index, fell -14.2% last month, its largest decrease ever.The labor market remained tight. US economy added 263,000 new jobs in November, aboveconsensus for 200,000. Job growth was broad-based. The service sector remained strongwith leisure and hospitality up 88,000. Wage growth surged higher, up 0.6%, or 5.1% year-onyear, raising further inflation concerns (Chart 2). The unemployment rate stayed at 3.7%. Theparticipation rate fell from 62.2% to 62.1%. The ratio of jobs to unemployed people remainedat ~1.7.The housing market also continued to struggle. Existing home sales have fallen 40% from thepeak in late 2020. Building permits fell by 11.2% month-on-month in November and housingstarts fell 0.5% month-on-month.
Interest Rate Summary
Yields rose toward the belly of the curve. At the end of December, the 3-month US Treasurybill yielded 4.41%, the 6-month US Treasury bill yielded 4.77%, the 2-year US Treasury noteyielded 4.43%, the 5-year US Treasury note yielded 4.01% and the 10-year US Treasury noteyielded 3.88%. 3 ATTACHMENT 1

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and any income from them will fluctuate and is not guaranteed (this may partly be due to exchange rate changes) and investors may not get back the amount invested. Transactions in foreign securities may be executed and settled in local markets. Performance comparisons will be affected by changes in interest rates. Investment returns fluctuate due to changesin market conditions. Investment involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.

The North American investment advisers are associated with a broader group of global investment managers that also (individually and collectively) use the corporate brand Insight Investment and may be referred to as Insight, Insight Group or Insight Investment.INA is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

Moreover, specific information relating to Insights strategies, including investment advisory fees, may be obtained from INA's Form ADV Part 2A, which isavailable without charge upon request.Where indicated, performance numbers used in the analysis are gross returns. The performance reflects the reinvestment of all dividends and income. INA charges management fees on all portfolios managed and these feeswill reduce the returns on the portfolios. For example, assume that $30 million is invested in an account with INA, and this account achieves a 5.0% annual return compounded monthly, gross of fees, for a period of five years.
At the end of five years that account would have grown to $38,500,760 before the deduction of management fees. Assuming management fees of 0.25% per year are deducted monthly from the account, the value at the end of the five year period would be $38,022,447. Actual fees for new accounts are dependent on size and subject to negotiation. INA's investment advisory fees are discussed in Part 2A of its Form ADV.

Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION
RATIFYING PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
IN THE TOWN AND AUTHORIZING TELECONFERENCE
MEETINGS OF TOWN LEGISLATIVE BODIES PURSUANT TO
THE BROWN ACT GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(E)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council adopt the attached Resolution No. 22-XX, finding a proclamation of the state of emergency to apply within the Town, conditions of which pose an imminent threat to the health and safety to attendees of in-person public meetings, and authorizing teleconference meetings of Town legislative bodies pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND
The Town Council adopted Resolution 2021 – 15 pursuant to AB 361 to meet via teleconference on October 6, 2021. The City Council last met on December 21, 2022, ratified findings pursuant to AB 361 and certified the continuing emergency ratifying such rules and regulations.
That Resolution has expired, and now, the Town Council must reevaluate its decision. The Governor's Proclamation of State of Emergency related to the COVID-19 virus pandemic remains in effect to this day in San Mateo County and statewide. The virus, and its variants, are highly transmissible when in close proximity to an infected person, no matter if the infected person is showing symptoms or not. Further, new variants of varying community impact and transmissibility are revealed each month the pandemic continues, most recently the Omicron/BA.2 subvariant.
Meeting in person imminently risks attendees' health and safety by necessitating attendees – Town officers, staff, and members of the public – be in close proximity to a potentially infected person, no matter if he or she is showing symptoms or not. The proposed Resolution makes requisite findings to allow Town legislative body meetings to be held via teleconference pursuant to Government Code section 54953(e). Specifically, the resolution resolves for meetings to be conducted in either in a hybrid format or solely via teleconference, as determined by the legislative
Certification of Continuing Emergency
February 15, 2023
body in consideration of risks to attendee health and safety. In either option, the teleconference option is to be offered in conformity with requirements of Section 54953(e) to preserve public access and participation.
The Council is to make the following findings as part of the resolution:
1. The Governor proclaimed a state of emergency on March 4, 2020 related to the COVID19 virus pandemic and that state of emergency remains active within the jurisdiction of the Town.
2. The Town Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency.
3. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of attendees to safely meet safely in person.
4. To decrease the risk to the health and safety of attendees, all meetings of Town legislative bodies shall be conducted in either a hybrid format with options for meeting attendees to appear in person, social distancing permitting, and via teleconference in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e) or in a solely teleconference format.
ANALYSIS
It is recommended that the Town Council pass the resolution and direct staff to take all actions necessary to effectuate its intent to hold all Town legislative body meetings in compliance with Section 54953(e). If the Council does not pass the proposed resolution, all Town legislative bodies will be required to meet pursuant to traditional teleconference requirements – e.g. opening teleconference locations to the public, listing addresses on meeting agendas, quorum of members in the Town – because the Town's most recent resolution to meet via Section 54953(e) has expired as a matter of law.
The Resolution expires on February 28, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
GOAL ALIGNMENT
This Report and its contents are in alignment with the following Council Policy Goals:
• Goal Area E – Strengthen Community Engagement and Transparency • Goal Area F – Be Forward-Thinking, Well-Managed, and Well-Planned
POLICY FOCUS
The policy issues are limited to the continuing emergency.

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ATHERTON
RATIFYING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY BY GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM (MARCH 4, 2020) AS APPLICABLE IN THE TOWN AND
AUTHORIZING TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OF ITS LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE TOWN PURSUANT TO THE RALPH M. BROWN ACT
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Town of Atherton ("Town") is committed to preserving and nurturing public access and participation at meetings of its Town Council and other Town legislative bodies; and
WHEREAS, all meetings of the Town's legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code section 54950 et seq. ("Brown Act"), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the Town's legislative bodies conduct their business; and
WHEREAS, section 54953(e)(1) provides a legislative body may meet via teleconference if the Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency pursuant to Government Code section 8625 and either (i) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, (ii) the legislative body meets to determine by majority vote that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, or (iii) the legislative body has voted as such and is meeting pursuant to that vote; and WHEREAS, a legislative body's decision to meet pursuant to section 54953(e) must be reevaluated and renewed at least every thirty (30) days, or else the body will be required to adopt new initial findings; and
WHEREAS, while a legislative body meets via teleconference pursuant to section 54953(e), it must take actions to preserve public access and public participation and give notice of the meeting and post agendas as otherwise required, allow members of the public to access the meeting via call-in line or internet-based service line, provide details on the agenda on how to access the meeting and give public comment, give an opportunity to comment pursuant to Government Code section 54954.3 and allow a reasonable amount of time during public comment for a person to register, login, and comment, and monitor the call-in line and internet-based service line to ensure no disruption hinders access or ability to comment, if there is, take no action until public access is restored; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency pertaining to the threat to human health and safety posed by the COVID-19 virus pandemic and that proclamation remains in effect to this day in Solano County and statewide; and WHEREAS, the virus has short- and long-term effects – fever and chills, cough, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, loss
2238704.1 14537.001 2
of taste and smell, death – and it's prolific spread is severely impacting the health care system, inhibiting access to care for COVID-19 symptoms and other ailments; and WHEREAS, the COVID-19 virus, and its variants, is spread through the air when a person who is carrying the virus, whether he or she is showing symptoms or not, is in close proximity to another person; and,
WHEREAS, while the COVID-19 virus remains present in the community, allowing members of the Town's legislative bodies and members of the public to meet virtually when cases have surged will reduce the risk of imminent risk to attendee health and safety beyond the control of Town services, personnel, equipment, and facilities; and, WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code section 8635 et seq., the Council has the authority during a state of emergency to take all actions necessary to perform its functions in the preservation of law and order, preservation of the furnishing of local services, and protection of life and property, which includes the authority to direct meetings of all Town legislative bodies to be held via teleconference pursuant to this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the Council desires to ratify the Governor's March 4, 2020, proclamation of state of emergency related to the COVID-19 virus pandemic as it applies to the jurisdiction of the Town and authorize teleconference meetings of Town legislative bodies pursuant to section 54953(e), as long as all provisions of that section are followed to provide public access and opportunity for public comment; and
WHEREAS, the Town has taken and will continue to take measures to ensure access for the public, including by providing the public a call-in option and/or internet-based service option for all meetings of Town legislative bodies.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ATHERTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT BARRON III, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE RELEASE OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) TO UPDATE THE TOWN’S COST ALLOCATION PLAN AND
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the release of a RFP to update the Town’s Cost Allocation Plan and Master Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND
The Town last adopted a Cost Allocation Plan in 2013. The results of that Plan inform the development of the Town’s Master Fee Schedule. The Master Fee Schedule includes all fees charged by all Town Departments. It was recommended that the Town update the Cost Allocation Plan once the Town Center completed and there was sufficient data related to administrative overhead (facility costs).
Fees for Town services are required to represent actual costs and may not be set at an amount that exceeds actual cost. A detailed Cost Allocation Plan provides detailed cost analyses on which to base new fees. Most fees are set at full cost recovery; however, some fees, such as those for planning applications, are intentionally set below full cost recovery to encourage compliance and to account for customer service hours provided to applicants as part of the process. Fees for marketdriven services, such as rental of public spaces (Park or Town Hall) may be set independent of a cost analysis.
The Cost Allocation Plan will include a recommended cost escalator based on the Consumer Price Index. The last increase to the Master Fee Study was in 2020 and the schedule of fees were adjusted to reflect accumulated CPI adjustments. No changes were made to valuation-driven fees (Building and Plan Check Fees) until a new cost study is performed. Valuation-driven fees, such as Building Permit fees and Plan Check fees, have remained consistent with the market since 2013. These fees were not adjusted by the labor component increases. These fees will be reviewed during this phase of the comprehensive Master Fee Study.
RFP For Cost Allocation Plan
February 15, 2023
Attached is the RFP to seek a qualified consultant to complete the Plan.
The timing for the required work under this RFP is tight and the timeline may need to be extended.
Once the study is complete and the proposed fees are incorporated into a Master Fee Schedule, that Schedule would be adopted at a Public Hearing, tentatively scheduled to coincide with adoption of the FY 2023/24 Budget in June 2023. However, if work does not complete timely, adoption may be postponed. If postponed, revenue anticipation for the budget would be adjusted accordingly.
POLICY ISSUES
The City Council’s policy discussion should revolve around ensuring the Town’s compliance with Proposition 26 which requires the Town’s fees to be set at or below full cost recovery.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. Any proposed fee adjustments would be incorporated into the Town’s Master Fee Schedule and would be reflected in the FY 2023/24 Budget for anticipated revenues.
GOAL ALIGNMENT
Goal A- Maintain Fiscal Responsibility

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL UPDATE COST ALLOCATION PLAN, FULLY-BURDEN
STAFF HOURLY RATE, AND MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
I. INTRODUCTION
A. General Information
The Town is soliciting proposals from qualified consulting firms to assist in reviewing and revising the Town’s comprehensive cost allocation plans, calculation of fully burdened staff hourly rates, with underlying updates to the town Master Fee Schedule (MFS). The update to the cost allocation plan distributes the general governmental and support services of the Town to the direct services and activities to the public. The cost allocation plan assists the Town in determining the fully loaded cost basis for fees and service charges.
The calculated full cost recovery of staff hourly labor rates is a significant part of the comprehensive fee study. The Town last conducted its Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) User Fee Study in August 2013. Since that time, the Town has constructed a new Town Center Building that houses the Town departments of Administration, Finance, Public Works, Community Development, and Police Department services and made modifications to staffing.
The Town has approximately 42 full-time equivalent employees of which 30 are police department personnel. The Town contracts its Planning and Building Department services and contracts a portion of its Public Works staff. Since the last adoption of the CAP and MFS, the Town’s fees, excluding building permit fees, have been increased by a yearly CPI. It is the intent that this review of the CAP, Fully Burdened Staff hourly rates, and the MFS consider direct and indirect costs, and central support services costs increases since the last User Fee Study. Part of the fee review should also account for future building and equipment replacement costs of newly constructed facilities and Town unfunded liabilities.
The Town will incorporate the CAP and Fully Burdened Staff Hourly Rates into grant applications, grant reimbursement claims, and interfund/interagency labor distributions.
Accordingly, results and recommendations of the Project must comply in all respects with requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and federal OMB A-87 and ASMB C-10.
ATTACHMENT 1
Town of Atherton
RFP for Update Cost Allocation Plan, Fully Burdened Staff Hourly Rate, and Master Fee Schedule 3 The Town MFS contains community development fees for building permits, planning fees, and engineering permits fees. The Town also has park rental fees and police services fees.
The Town would like a review of its MFS based on an updated CAP and fully burdened staff hourly rates. We seek to update the existing fee schedule to reflect the current cost of providing services and meet the requirement of Proposition 26. There is also a flat fee model for Town Fees. Some Planning and Building permit fees are based on a service requirement factor times a multiplier to calculate a fee for plan review and inspection. This applies to new home construction, and major remodels of habitable and non-habitable construction. The cost of building and planning permits must be designed to allow the Town to recover the full cost of service.
The Town is requesting a report that updates and identifies each Town service, its full cost, the cost currently being recovered, and the recommended cost recovery levels. For each services the report should define and identify direct and indirect costs. The Town has a Comprehensive User Fee Indirect CAP and Production Hourly Rate Calculations for staff that can be used for review as consultant processes and updates a new Town Comprehensive User Fee Study.
The Town is a residential community located in San Mateo County in the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula. There are no commercial businesses located in the Town. The Town has extensive residential construction and this typically means that permits are issued to a variety of residential development contractors, specialists, and services.
The Consultant shall meet with the Town Staff Team to clarify the intended goals and purpose(s) of the Project; discuss perceived issues; gain an understanding of Town operations; and establish responsibilities. During the course of the Study, the Town may request periodic progress reports. To assure timely availability of staff and other resources, Consultant shall submit a viable work plan to the Finance Director along with a written request for documents and schedules to be prepared by staff, and the dates by which such items are required.
Specific Services Requested of Consultant
1. Cost Allocation Plan – Update the CAP and develop Overhead Rates including overhead rates that can be applied to contractor or consultant rates when seeking cost recovery through fees or other direct charge mechanisms. Provide an Excel based model to the Finance Director for Town’s future use. Present a preliminary plan to the Town and adjust as necessary.
ATTACHMENT 1

RFP for Update Cost Allocation Plan, Fully Burdened Staff Hourly Rate, and Master Fee Schedule 4 2. Fully Burdened Staff Hourly Rate – Identify all staff positions whose time can properly be allocated to or among Town departments, funds, programs, activities and/or fees charged for Town services. Determine each staff position’s direct cost (stated USD per hour) that includes fringe benefits (stated both in USD and as a percentage of salary) and overhead rate (stated as a percentage of direct cost). Deliver an Excel-based model(s) to the Finance Director for Town’s future use. Present the Fully Burdened Staff Hourly Rate and Contract Overhead rate to the City Council.
3. Master Fee Schedule – Update existing MFS to reflect the current cost of providing services and meet the requirement of Proposition of 26. Prepare a report that identifies each Town service, its full cost, the costs currently being recovered, and the recommended cost recovery levels. This entails extensive review and potential restructure of planning fees to a cost recovery model similar to building fees. For each activity, the report should define and identify direct and indirect costs. Prepare a report that compares the Town’s fees and service charges to similar cities selected by Town with Consultant’s input. Provide an Excel based model to the Finance Director for Town’s future use. Present initial findings and recommendations to management and adjust as necessary. Prepare and deliver to the City Council a report on findings and recommendations, to facilitate an understanding by the City Council and the public of the methodologies, issues and recommendations resulting from the update.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: STEVEN D. MCCULLEY, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DESTRUCTION OF RECORDS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 34090
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the destruction of certain records pursuant to Government Code Section 34090.
BACKGROUND
Penal Code Section 832.5 requires that citizen complaints or internal affairs investigations against police department personnel and any related reports or findings be maintained for a period of at least five years where there is no sustained finding of misconduct and at least 15 years if there is such a sustained finding.
Government Code Section 34090 authorizes the Chief of Police, upon resolution of the City Council and written consent of the City Attorney, to destroy records, documents, instruments and other papers under his charge pursuant to an adopted records retention policy if the records are no longer required to be maintained by law or the retention policy.
The Police Department has 4 files that have exceeded the 5-year retention period and is no longer required to be maintained because it does not relate to a sustained finding of misconduct. In addition, 2 partial backgrounds – one for Police Officer and one for Dispatcher – both are past the 4 years of retention of the files. The Chief of Police and City Attorney have reviewed the status of the files noted above to ensure there is no legal or other reason to maintain such files.
ANALYSIS
The California Government Code authorizes the destruction of records and requires agencies to adopt compliant records retention schedules. These schedules ensure that certain records are maintained in perpetuity and other records are maintained for sufficient time periods, dependent

on the type of records, to allow standards and structure for local government records management efforts.
Maintaining old files can lead to the use of stale information in personnel and litigation matters that can be detrimental to staff, the department, and the Town. The information is of no useful value to the Town, is out of date and should be destroyed in compliance with Town and State records retention policies.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize this timely and appropriate destruction of old files in accordance with the law.
POLICY FOCUS
Once records have been retained for the applicable period set forth in law and the Records Retention Schedule, they should be prepared for destruction in the manner prescribed by the Town’s Original Resolution # 15-09 adopted March 18, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in approving this resolution for the destruction of records.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT BARRON III, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: FERBUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: ADOPT THE ATTACHED BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION FOR THE FY 2022/23 BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing a Budget Amendment for the FY 2022/23 Budget.
BACKGROUND
Staff presented the Mid-Year budget review for the General Fund FY 2022/23 at its February 1, 2023 Study Session. Staff noted that the FY 2022/23 Budget reflects the Town’s positive financial outlook while maintaining City Council priorities. The City Council priorities continue to focus on reducing long-term liabilities, addressing capital project needs, and ensuring that operational needs are met. The City Council recently authorized the use of the OPEB Trust account to begin the payment of retiree health expenses. This will begin in March and staff estimates that the use of the Trust will reduce General Fund expenditures by $150,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Council discussed revenue and expenditure summaries across all departments. Staff advised that there were six areas that required a Mid-Year Budget Amendment. The majority of items identified are one-time expenditures for operations or maintenance; and/or one-time priority projects such as the Housing Element and contract revenue adjustment. For FY 2022/23, the MidYear adjustment is $808,250 spread across the six identified areas. Overall, revenues are expected to exceed projections for the fiscal year by $1,601,693 (inclusive of ERAF).
FINDINGS | ANALYSIS
Of the $808,250, $650,000 were identified as one-time expenditures related to specific staffing, one-time operational and facility maintenance expenditures, planning contract services and related expenditures for the Housing Element Update. In addition to these one-time adjustments, staff advised that due to an increase in revenue projections, there is a related expenditure adjustment of $68,750 for building contract services. Staff also advised that there is
Mid-year Budget Staff Report
February 15, 2023
Administration Department adjustment of $166,500 for Environmental Program Committee AGZA event programming ($6,500), contact costs for newsletter, website and recruitment support ($40,000); and legal human resource assistance ($120,000). Contract Planning ramped up services for land use and the Housing Element and requires a budget adjustment to accommodate the changes ($150,000). There is a budget adjustment in the Interdepartmental Department for property insurance cost increase of $43,000. The Police Department requires a budget adjustment for overtime expense of $193,000 for backfill to maintain staffing model for shifts, as well as sick time, training, COVID related absences, and vacation catch up not being taken during the pandemic. The Department also experienced additional costs ($30,000) related to the investigation of the buried vehicle. Lastly, there is a need for a budget adjustment in Public Works ($157,000) for consultant engineering services and facility repairs.
POLICY FOCUS
The Mid-Year Budget Report is an opportunity to make adjustments and operations corrections based on unanticipated changes and the goals and priorities of the City Council. If there are projects or priorities that the Council wishes to address at mid-year, this is the opportunity to do so. The Mid-Year Budget Report encompasses all changes to the budget thus far in the Fiscal Year. Staff is presenting a Budget Amendment Resolution for adoption to reflect the noted adjustments.
FISCAL IMPACT
The overall fiscal impact to the General Fund due to Mid-Year adjustments is a General Fund Net expenditure increase of $658,250 (3.7%) against a General Fund (plus ERAF) revenue increase of $1,601,693 (7.3%).

RECOMMENDATION
Waive the second reading by substitution of the title and adopt an Ordinance of the Atherton Municipal Code Chapter 9.18 related to Targeted Residential Picketing.
BACKGROUND
During the last two weeks of November 2022, and the first two weeks of December 2022, organized protestors demonstrated in front of a residence located on Carolina Avenue in Atherton. The protests took place daily for up to 8 hours per day.

residents in their homes. This is a content-neutral, narrowly tailored time, place, and manner restriction on picketing in a limited public forum that will preclude picketers from targeting individual residences by remaining at least 300 feet from any individual residence, while leaving open ample alternative channels for communication available to picketers. Chapter 9.18 additionally creates a private right of action enabling persons aggrieved by targeted picketing to bring an action against any person who has violated, conspires, or proposes to violate acts prohibited under Chapter 9.18 and recover an award of a civil penalty of up to one thousand dollars, as well as costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Any person violating the provisions of this proposed ordinance shall first be verbally warned. If, after the warning, the person continues to violate this Chapter, he or she will be guilty of a misdemeanor and separately subject to the provisions of Chapter 8.20 (Nuisance Abatement).
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends amending Title 9 of the Atherton Municipal Code and adopt Chapter 9.18 related to targeted residential picketing.

ORDINANCE No. 658
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF ATHERTON ADOPTING CHAPTER 9.18 RELATED TO TARGETED RESIDENTIAL PICKETING
WHEREAS, the Town of Atherton ("Town") has a duty to protect the public peace, and safety, welfare, and tranquility of its residents, and; WHEREAS, the targeted picketing of individual residences in the Town of Atherton creates threats to the public peace, safety, welfare, along with the tranquility of the residents of the Town of Atherton. This is particularly true given the Town's small geographic size with narrow roads that are mostly devoid of sidewalks. People loitering or standing in front of such residences, doing nothing else, could pose traffic and safety concerns for residents coming and leaving their homes, as well as vehicular and bicyclist traffic, generally, and; WHEREAS, the public health, safety, welfare and the good order of the community require that citizens enjoy in their homes and neighborhoods with a feeling of safety, tranquility, privacy and to enjoy freedom from being a captive audience to unwanted speech in their homes. The practice of targeted picketing in residential areas causes emotional disturbance and distress to residents, and has the potential to incite breaches of the peace. Full opportunity exists for individuals to exercise their right of free speech without resorting to targeted residential picketing.
The provisions of this chapter are enacted for the purpose of protecting the significant public interests stated above and not to suppress free speech rights or any particular viewpoint.
WHEREAS, the Town, through its police powers, has the authority to enforce a contentneutral, narrowly-tailored, time, place and manner restriction on picketing in a limited public forum to protect the peace, welfare and tranquility of its residents while leaving open ample alternative channels for communication available to picketers; and, WHEREAS, the Town wishes to protect its residents from the targeted picketing of their personal residences and finds that the prohibitions and buffers provide ample alternative avenues for communicating messages and ideas by those who wish to picket or protest in Atherton; and, WHEREAS, this Ordinance is a necessary time, place and manner restriction, intended to reconcile the needs and rights of protesters to peacefully and effectively communicate and express their views and of residents to enjoy privacy and respite in their own homes; and, WHEREAS, local ordinances prohibiting the targeted picketing of homes have been upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Frisby vs. Schulz (1988) 487 U.S. 474, and a three hundred (300) foot buffer zone has been upheld by a California Court of Appeal as a reasonable exercise of the City's legislative discretion in regulating such targeted picketing (City of San Jose v. Superior Court of Santa Clara County (1995) 32 Cal. App. 4th 330).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the Town of Atherton incorporates the findings in the recitals above and adopts them as though fully set forth herein and does hereby ordain as follows:

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – REGULAR AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION OF ATHERTON HOUSING COALITION LETTER
AND OTHER ALTERNATIVE HOUSING SOLUTIONS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council review and discuss the proposals put forth by the Atherton Housing Coalition and other alternative housing solutions.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Public Comment on the Town’s 6th Cycle Housing Element, the City Council received correspondence from a group of Atherton residents coalescing around the name Atherton Housing Coalition (AHC). The letter sought to provide the City Council with options for consideration as part of the Housing Element review and approval process.
The AHC articulated a number of concerns with the Town’s Draft Housing Element and made a number of recommendations for changes. During review of the Housing Element on January 31, 2023, the Council asked staff to return the AHC letter for discussion by the Council at the next Regular Meeting of the City Council (February 15, 2023).
ANALYSIS
Specifically, the AHC proposal accepts the Town’s inclusion of ADUs, vacant lots, urban lot splits (SB 9), and multi-family opportunities at school sites but also recommends that the Council consider Town-owned property for multi-family. AHC proposed that the Town consider the following:
• Gilmore House – proposal to include 6 housing units in the area where the Gilmore House sits now in Holbrook-Palmer Park. AHC proposes that 2 of those units be set aside as affordable.
AHC Letter and Other Alternative Housing Solutions
February 15, 2023
• Corporation Yard @ Town Center – proposal to include 4 housing units in the area where the Town Center Corporation Yard sits now in the Town Center. AHC proposes that 2 of those units be set aside as affordable.
• 28 Almendral (Menlo Park Fire Protection District Property) – proposal to rezone this parcel to the PFS Zone and include 4 workforce housing units at 28 Almendral.
AHC also objected to the inclusion of 23 Oakwood @ 10 units per acre and made suggestions regarding several of the Housing Element’s independent Policy Goals. Further, AHC proposed that the Town petition the State for legislation to provide an extension of the timeline for obtaining a certified Housing Element.
This item is an opportunity for the City Council to have a discussion around the recommendations included in the AHC Letter (attached) as well as a discussion of other alternative housing solutions.
It is important to remember that because this discussion can be wide-ranging and cover a variety of solutions or suggestions, there has not been any specific public noticing done in anticipation of Council discussion of specific properties. The Gilmore House and the Town’s Corporation Yard have both been discussed by the Council at prior meetings on the Housing Element. However, 28 Almendral and/or other prospective properties have not. Staff does not know where the Council’s discussion this evening will lead and cannot provide adequate notice with specificity, as required, in advance of it. Therefore, should the Council wish to drill down the discussion to specific property solutions, staff recommends that the Council provide proper advance notice to any affected property and a 500-foot radius of said property before hosting a granular discussion at a future meeting.
Notice was provided to AHC that their correspondence would be discussed at the February 15 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
GOAL ALIGNMENT
This Report and its contents are in alignment with the following Council Policy Goals:
• Goal Area F – Be Forward-Thinking, Well-Managed, and Well-Planned
POLICY FOCUS
Policy focus for the City Council should be on the suggestions provided in the AHC correspondence as well as other potential alternative housing solutions and suggestions raised during public comment.

1. Atherton Housing Coalition Letter
01404.0001/854534.1
Atherton Housing Coalition
January 30, 2023
Dean Mayor Widmer and Members of the City Council,
Atherton Housing Coalition is a group of Atherton residents who are concerned about making sure that the Town of Atherton fulfills its RHNA obligations in a thoughtful manner to maintain the character of our town. We are submitting this letter to outline Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal for alternative housing inventory sites and zoning options that will not only meet, but exceed, the Town’s RHNA obligations and provide for planning and development consistent with the goals and objectives of the Town and the existing character of our community. We hope that the City Council seriously considers this proposal as part of the Town’s 6th cycle Housing Element.
Members of the community have been involved in discussions about the Housing Element for over a year and have reviewed several different properties for potential inclusion in the Housing Element so that Atherton achieves its goal of planning for 348 housing units allocated among the four income levels in Atherton’s RHNA allocation.
Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal for the Housing Element complies with HCD requirements and incorporates ideas that have a higher likelihood of coming to fruition than what is in the current draft of the Housing Element. Furthermore, this proposal will create more lower income housing units than the proposed rezoning of eighteen properties along El Camino Real. Furthermore, the residents of the properties proposed for rezoning have made it clear that none of them will sell their houses to a developer during the 2023-2031 planning period, so the rezoning plan is unlikely to produce any new housing units.
We recognize that the City Council wants to submit what it hopes to be the final draft of the Housing Element to HCD on January 31, 2023. We appreciate that the City Council is limited in its ability to conduct Town-wide deliberations at this juncture, given the existing time constraints to adopt and self-certify the Housing Element as of January 31, 2023. However, we implore you to consider directing staff to submit a revised Housing Element, without the El Camino Real and Valparaiso rezonings or any changes to the Senate Bill 9 ordinance. Instead, Atherton Housing Coalition urges you to consider Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal for the Housing Element, which is compliant with state law, exceeds the RHNA requirement of 348 new housing units, and meets the requirements for all income categories. Our proposal for the Housing Element is in contrast to the latest version of the Housing Element posted on January 20th and amended as of January 23rd, which we believe contains ideas that are not acceptable to either Atherton residents or HCD.
We request that the City Council incorporate our proposal into the Housing Element after making the required public noticing requirements, by voting to adopt a revised version of the
01404.0001/854534.1
Housing Element. Since the City Council is not able to add our recommendations to the Housing Element on January 31st, it is our hope that you will adopt a revised Housing Element at the earliest possible date in February and thereafter submit it to HCD for final review and certification. In order to consider the ideas and revisions proposed by the Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal and incorporate them into the Town’s Housing Element, we recommend that the City Council take the following actions:
a. Adopt the Housing Element on January 31, 2023, without making the changes recommended by the Town’s Planning Commission (for the reasons stated below in this letter),and submit said Housing Element to HCD for review and certification. The Town may also want to inform HCD that the Town is also considering incorporating additional points from the Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal and intends to submit an updated Housing Element for review as soon as possible after proper noticing requirements and approval by the City Council.
b. Provide the proper noticing requirements for hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council (most likely in February, and potentially early March 2023) to consider the incorporation of Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal into the Housing Element. Simultaneously, Town staff will need to analyze and incorporate Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal into the updated Housing Element. c. Hold the required public hearings before the Planning Commission and subsequently the City Council on the adoption of the updated Housing Element that includes Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal.1 Then the Town should provide the updated Housing Element to HCD for review and certification.2
A. Planning Commission Recommendations and Draft Housing Element dated January 23, 2023
On January 19, 2023, the Planning Commission reviewed the revised draft Housing Element and made three main recommendations for the City Council to consider as part of the final draft Housing Element. Atherton Housing Coalition recommends that the City Council reject all three recommendations for the following reasons:
1. El Camino Real:
Atherton Housing Coalition opposes the creation of a new multi-family “overlay zone” for eighty-eight (88) properties along both sides of El Camino Real (one property deep) that would allow for developments of up to twenty (20) units per acre. Residents were not properly notified about such a significant change to their neighborhood, and nobody has had time to study the consequences of such an action. Residents will undoubtedly 1 The Town is authorized to update its General Plan, including its Housing Element, up to four (4) times per year, under Government Code Section 65358.
2 If HCD has not completed its 60-day review of the Town’s January 31, 2023 Housing Element, HCD will simply begin reviewing the subsequently adopted Housing Element from February/March 2023 without having to complete the review of the January 31, 2023 Housing Element. HCD will then have an additional 60 days from the date it receives the February/March 2023 Housing Element to certify said Housing Element.
01404.0001/854534.1
voice their opposition to this proposal. We oppose the creation of the RM 20 zone for this area.
As you are aware, Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(2) requires the Town to demonstrate the projected residential development capacity of the sites identified in the Housing Element can realistically be achieved. Based on the opposition of existing residents of the subject properties, market demand, land costs, future development, and past production trends, it is clear that the proposed overlay zone fails to meet the statutory realistic development capacity requirement.
Also, we support the Planning Commission’s recommendation to remove the rezoning of eighteen (18) properties because residents are prepared to send letters to HCD to object, since none of them expect or want to move out of their houses.
2. Valparaiso Avenue:
Atherton Housing Coalition opposes the creation of a new “overlay zone” which would allow up to ten (10) units per acre on the twenty-two (22) lots on the Atherton side of Valparaiso Avenue. The neighbors were not properly notified of this proposal, and there has been insufficient time to properly analyze the consequences and adverse impacts of such an action. Furthermore, many residents on Valparaiso Avenue have voiced their opposition to this idea. We oppose the creation of the RM 10 zone for this area. Similar to the proposed overlay zone on El Camino Real, the opposition of existing residents of the subject properties, market demand, land costs, future development, and past production trends demonstrate that the Valparaiso Avenue overlay zone fails to meet the realistic development capacity requirement under Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(2).
3. Senate Bill 9 (SB9) Residency Requirement:
Atherton Housing Coalition strongly opposes the Town making any changes to its SB9 ordinance, which was adopted shortly after the State approved the bill in 2021, particularly to remove the owner residency requirement for lot splits. State legislation has a residency requirement specifically stating: “A local agency shall require an applicant for an urban lot split to sign an affidavit stating that the applicant intends to occupy one of the housing units as their principal residence for a minimum of three years from the date of the approval of the urban lot split.” (Gov. Code § 66411.7(g)(1) [emphasis added].)
Therefore, the Town is legally mandated to require the owner residency requirement for any and all lot sizes, and any amendment to the Town’s SB 9 ordinance that eliminates such a requirement, or a lack of enforcement of such a requirement, is in violation of State law. Accordingly, the Town should not make any local modifications to its SB9 ordinance as part of the Housing Element that is contrary to State law; doing so exposes the Town to legal liability.
01404.0001/854534.1
Additionally, the draft Housing Element dated January 23, 2023 includes the following ideas and proposals that Atherton Housing Coalition considers detrimental to the Town and unnecessary in achieving the required 348 housing units in the appropriate income categories required under the RHNA obligations:
New RM10 and RM20 Zones
The draft Housing Element dated January 23, 2023 mentions the creation of two new residential zones that permit multi-family housing by right, RM10 (up to ten (10) dwelling units per acre) and RM20 (up to twenty (20) dwelling units per acre). The proposed RM10 and RM20 zones will be rezoned on nineteen (19) private residential properties, plus the Planning Commission recommends the inclusion of an additional one hundred and ten (110) single family residences.
The purpose of this is to provide for a variety of housing types and purportedly to affirmatively further fair housing.
Atherton Housing Coalition strongly opposes the new zones because the existing zoning code already allows multifamily housing to be developed in the PFS zone. Furthermore, the draft Housing Element will amend the zoning code to allow multifamily developments in the PFS zone by right up to 20 units per acre with a possible forty (40) units per acre at Menlo College.
The removal of a required master plan, environmental review, and use permit, along with the increased density of up to twenty (20) units per acre, will already increase and improve the variety of housing types within the Town. It will also affirmatively further fair housing to provide a diverse type of housing options on all properties that are zoned PFS. Under this proposal, where property is owned and controlled by the Town or other public agencies, multifamily housing has a more realistic chance of being developed and constructed, without having to rezone private property with existing single-family homes, whose residents have already firmly stated that they will not sell or subdivide their properties for multi-family developments during this planning period.
Goal: Facilitate Development of Faculty and Student Housing On or Near Campus One of the goals listed under Section 3.370 includes facilitating development of faculty and student housing on or near campuses. Atherton Housing Coalition opposes the multifamily housing “near” campus, as we believe adequate multi-family faculty and student housing can be located wholly on campus, rather than off campus near the schools. Atherton Housing Coalition believes the goal has been and should continue to be the provision of housing on campus within the PFS zone. There is abundant and underutilized land suitable for multifamily faculty and student housing in the PFS zone, and as stated above and in previous sections, utilizing the PFS zone provides a greater and more realistic likelihood of property being developed for multi-family developments. Accordingly, “or near” should be stricken to provide for on-campus housing only.
01404.0001/854534.1
Goal: Development of Multi-Family Housing On Private Property As previously stated, the Atherton Housing Coalition strongly opposes the development of multi-family housing on private property. As already provided for in the existing Housing Element or the draft Housing Element dated January 23, 2023, there is abundant property located in the PFS zone owned by public agencies that can provide for multi-family developments without having the need to re-zone private property with existing single-family homes. There is no justification for this proposal, as multi-family developments are already permitted or will soon be permitted by right. Furthermore, the Atherton Housing Coalition proposal demonstrates that more than the required housing units under the RHNA allocation, including all within the appropriate income category, can be developed without the inclusion of multi-family developments on existing single family residential lots. Doing so would add nothing to increasing variety in housing types, diversity in households within the Town, or affirmatively furthering fair housing. In addition, such multi-family developments do not have a realistic development capacity requirement under Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(2), since the residents have already objected and will continue to assert that they will continue using the property as a single-family residential development.
B. Atherton’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation
HCD is requiring Atherton to plan for 348 new housing units as part of the Town’s RHNA obligations. The breakdown of the housing units by income levels is:
Income level # Percentage of total
Very Low Income 94 27.01%
Low Income 54 15.52%
Moderate Income 56 16.09%
Above Moderate Income 144 41.38%
Total 348 100.00%
The tables below present summaries of the number of proposed dwelling units projected to be constructed in Atherton, according to the Atherton Housing Coalition Proposal. The Atherton Housing Coalition Proposal contains 434 dwelling units, which represents a buffer of 86 units more than the required 348 units.

Overall, the Atherton Housing Coalition proposal includes 86 more units than the Town’s RHNA allocation of 348 units. Moreover, the proposal provides for the appropriate number of units across all income levels, as required by HCD. It is important to note that HCD requires the Town’s Housing Element to address the required 348 housing units but leaves discretion to where the Town will plan for the development of these units and through what type of zoning.
Nowhere in statutory law or HCD’s guidelines is there a mandatory requirement to provide for these 348 housing units through multi-family housing. Likewise, there is no legal requirement to establish multifamily residential zones, if it can be shown that a city can meet its RHNA obligations through other types of residential zoning (e.g., single family residential zones, common interest development zones, etc.)
1. ADUs and JADUs:
The construction of 280 ADUs and JADUs during the 2023-2031 planning period is calculated at a total of 35 ADUs and JADUs per year, which should be achievable, given the number of ADU and JADU applications that have been approved within the past few years. For example, in 2020, thirty-four (34) ADUs were permitted, while in 2021, thirty three (33) ADUs were permitted. The construction of ADUs and JADUs has significantly increased in Atherton since the Town modified the rules in 2020 so that the square footage of both ADUs and JADUs are exempted from the calculation of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of eighteen (18%) percent. This allows residents to build more square footage on their properties than before the rule was changed in 2020. While it is too early to know the breakdown between new ADUs and JADUs, it is reasonable to assume,
01404.0001/854534.1
based on historical data, that the Town can expect a total average of thirty-five (35) ADUs per year or more during the planning period, which could end up being twentyfive (25) to thirty-five (35) new ADUs and five (5) to ten (10) new JADUs per year.
The current draft of the Housing Element states that two (2) ADUs will be permitted on a property, but this was not discussed in public. There may have been a discussion at a City Council meeting of allowing two ADUs on a property, but only if the lot size is two acres or greater. The Atherton Housing Coalition supports two (2) ADU’s per residential property if the parcel size is two (2) acres or greater. Otherwise, only one (1) ADU and one (1) JADU should be allowed per property.
Atherton will work with its residents to assist in the conversion of pool houses and garages to ADUs and JADUs. The rental rules for pool houses will be changed to permit the inclusion of these structures into the inventory of ADUs.
2. Senate Bill 9:
SB9 lot splits will contribute to forty-eight (48) new housing units, which is an average of six (6) new housing units per year from within the 2023-2031 planning period.
3. Vacant sites:
Vacant sites should contribute twelve (12) new housing units, which is an average of 1.5 new housing units per year.
4. Multi-Family Development - Schools:
Multi-family projects should be permitted at both public and private schools. The current draft of the Housing Element plans for eighty (80) new housing units at the schools. The plan is for Menlo College to build a faculty housing project of sixty (60) new housing units. Menlo School is planned to build twenty (20) new housing units.
Atherton should also provide Sacred Heart Schools and all the public schools in town with the same zoning rights in case any want to building housing on campus.
In addition, all school properties are zoned PFS, which allows multi-family residential uses that could accommodate housing for lower income households, when such uses are ancillary to the primary non-residential use of property on the same site. So providing for affordable, multi-family developments does not require additional re-zoning of single family residential zones, since multi-family residential housing is already permitted in all PFS zones through location and environmental reviews under the Town’s existing zoning code.
5. Multi-Family Development - Town-owned properties:
Atherton has two Town-owned properties which have been discussed at public meetings but were not included in the January 18th and January 23rd versions of the
01404.0001/854534.1
Housing Element. The Town should designate these two properties for residential development of housing units. These two developments should comply with the current height restrictions for residential buildings.
Gilmore House
Atherton owns a public park called Holbrook Palmer Park where there is a single-family residence called the Gilmore house. The residence is occupied by the Police Chief, but it is assumed that the residence will be available for development between 2023 and 2031.
Atherton Housing Coalition proposes that Atherton plan for up to six (6) housing units on this property. Thirty-three (33%) percent of the new housing units should be deed restricted for low-income individuals.
Atherton Housing Coalition is familiar with the decree of distribution for the estate of Oliver H. Palmer filed in 1959. In accordance with the decree requirements, the Town of Atherton can continue maintaining the park in a manner that is appropriate for a highclass public recreation park. Any housing located on the premises will be built as a replacement for the Gilmore House and will be an incidental use featuring high quality architecture which will not interfere with the primary use and enjoyment of the park.
Atherton will not be violating the terms of the will or deed restrictions and will obtain appropriate legal assurances before any project is started. Thus, the Town will not be put in a position where it could be subject to liability or risk losing the park to Stanford University.
Land around the Town Center and the Corporation Yard
Atherton owns property around the Town Center which includes a parcel near the Atherton train tracks called the Corporation Yard.
Atherton Housing Coalition recommends that the Town study the entire property to come up with a parcel where it can plan for a building with four (4) housing units. Fifty (50%) of the new housing units should be deed-restricted for lower income individuals.
The Town-owned properties have the possibility of creating five (5) new affordable housing units which is greater than the four (4) new affordable housing units which are planned for in the proposed rezoning of El Camino Real. Under Atherton Housing Coalition’s proposal, the Town creates more affordable housing units without the risks and uncertainties of a rezoning where neighbors will not sell their houses to a developer.
In addition, all Town-owned properties are zoned PFS, which allows multi-family residential uses that could accommodate housing for lower income households, when such uses are ancillary to the primary non-residential use of property on the same site.
So providing for affordable, multi-family developments does not require additional rezoning of single family residential zones, since multi-family residential housing is
01404.0001/854534.1
already permitted in all PFS zones through location and environmental reviews under the Town’s existing zoning code.
6. Multi-Family Development – Menlo Park Fire Protection District The Menlo Park Fire Protection District owns an L-shaped property at 28 Almendral Avenue, which is 39,843 square feet (0.91 acre). The property is improved with a small house that is being used as a gym and storage area. The size of this parcel is far greater than the Fire Station parcel of 13,068 square feet.
The property at 28 Almendral should be re-zoned to the PFS zone. The fire station at 32 Almendral is already in the PFS zone, so it is logical and reasonable to rezone all property owned by the Menlo Park Fire Protection District to PFS. PFS-zoned property already allows multi-family residential housing under the existing zoning code, as stated above.
In conjunction, Atherton Housing Coalition recommends that the Town work with the Menlo Park Fire Protection District to approve a plan for four (4) housing units located on this property. The units would be limited to employees of Menlo Park Fire Protection District who protect the safety of our community. There is demand for fire fighters to have housing near the fire station, since many of them drive several hours for their shifts and are already sleeping at the fire station.
7. Affordable Housing Fund:
Atherton’s Housing Element indicates a plan to start charging an inclusionary fee on all new construction. The town will propose fees after a comparison with peer cities.
The Atherton Housing Coalition wants Atherton to commit to create an Affordable Housing Fund, which will receive the proceeds from the new inclusionary fees. The Affordable Housing Fund should also be available for charitable donations to increase the size and scope of the affordable housing effort. The Affordable Housing Fund will be used for the preservation, rehabilitation, and production of affordable housing in Atherton.
8. 23 Oakwood
Atherton Housing Coalition opposes the rezoning of 23 Oakwood for up to ten (10) units per acre. In addition, it is understood that the property owner desires to rezone this property for multi-family residential development, whereas the surrounding properties are all single-family residential development. The nearest multi-family residential zone is located beyond the Town’s boundaries in Redwood City and is not adjacent to the subject property. All residential uses surrounding the subject property are single family residential uses.
01404.0001/854534.1
State law requires that city zoning regulations must be uniform within each class or kind of building, or land use within each zone. Under state law, the uniformity requirement means a city may not approve a use of property that is not allowed by applicable zoning rules without a formal amendment to the rule. Nor can a city get around the uniformity requirement by granting an exception from existing zoning by adopting a zone that is different from all other zones adjacent to the property (aka “spot zoning”.) Spot zoning occurs where a small parcel is restricted and given lesser rights or greater rights than surrounding properties, such as when a lot in the center of a single-family residential zone is allowed to develop multi-family units, thereby creating an island in the middle of a larger area devoted to other uses.
In this instance, the re-zoning of 23 Oakwood to multi-family residential development would likely be considered spot zoning. The neighbors and other interested parties of the affected parcel may challenge the zoning as unreasonable, and a court may agree and invalidate the zoning as applied to that parcel.
D. Housing Goals, Quantified Objectives and Policies
Atherton Housing Coalition supports the Town’s housing goals, quantified objectives, and policies outlined in the Housing Element, with the exception of goals 3.712, 3.730, 3.732, and
3.740 discussed above. We understand the need to address housing and affordable housing in the Town and the region.
Atherton’s Housing Element relies heavily upon ADUs, since the cost of land at approximately $8,000,000 per acre makes the development of affordable housing extremely challenging.
Development is further complicated with increased construction costs, high interest rates, and a weakening economy. There is not enough money available in the form of grant money and other sources of subsidies typically used by non-profit developers to construct affordable housing in California. The ADU and JADU plan under the Atherton Housing Coalition proposal takes advantage of residents’ willingness to construct these housing units either on land they already own or as part of a new construction project. We believe that overall, the Atherton Housing Coalition proposal furthers the Town’s housing goals, objectives, and policies and should be incorporated into the Housing Element.
E. Additional Legislative Relief
One additional approach regarding the Housing Element adoption process includes lobbying the State for emergency legislation to allow cities within ABAG a grace period of up to six months or one year to have a HCD-certified housing element, at least with respect to the threeyear rezoning requirement. Under Government Code Section 65583(c)(1)(A), if HCD does not certify a housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline, a city must complete the rezoning of various sites identified in its housing element, including adopting minimum density and development standards, within one year, while under normal circumstances that city would have three years to complete its rezoning.
01404.0001/854534.1
Having a one-year rezoning requirement is very onerous task for a city to complete, since there are complicated analyses related to CEQA and noticing requirements that must be completed prior to rezoning. Since it is unlikely that more than a handful of cities within ABAG will have HCD-certified housing elements within 120 days of the January 31st deadline, most cities in the ABAG region will be subject to the one-year rezoning requirement. Thus, it will be beneficial for cities to seek emergency legislation applicable to ABAG jurisdictions to maintain their threeyear rezoning requirement if cities have HCD-certified housing elements within six months of the January 31, 2023 deadline, which is July 31, 2023 (or up to a year, which is January 31, 2024), which is a much more realistic deadline for both cities (to submit their final adopted housing elements) and for HCD (to review and certify said housing elements).
This same issue was addressed through legislation under SB 197 for jurisdictions in the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region. Because none of the 197 cities within the SCAG region had adopted and HCD-certified housing elements by the statutory deadline of October 15, 2021, SB 197 allowed those jurisdictions one additional year to get their housing elements adopted and certified, by October 15, 2022, to maintain the three-year rezoning requirement, provided that the participating jurisdictions met other requirements.
Although such proposed legislation to extend will not shield cities from Builder’s Remedy project applications, it will greatly help cities to be in compliance without being exposed to additional penalties. ABAG has 109 member jurisdictions, and it is likely that fewer than 10 jurisdictions will have adopted and certified housing elements by the January 31, 2023 deadline.
Therefore, it is likely that emergency legislation applicable to ABAG will have a lot of support from local cities in the area. We strongly urge that the City Council explore this potential legislation with other cities for the benefit of the Town and the entire ABAG region.
We recognize that this is a difficult time for everyone and gratefully appreciate your efforts on behalf of the Town to ensure the character of the community is maintained, while we plan to satisfy our RHNA allocation. It is our hope that you will discuss our plan at the City Council meeting on January 31, 2023.
Item No. 11
Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – REGULAR AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
DATE: FEBRUARY 15, 2023
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERAATION OF CREATION OF A 100-
YEAR CELEBRATION COMMITTEE OR RATIFICATION OF
THE CITY COUNCIL STANDING COMMITTEE; AND
CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS AND/OR
RECRUITMENT OF MEMBERS
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council discuss the creation of a formal 100-Year Celebration Committee (to include creation of membership and charter), ratify the City Council Standing Committee; and/or consideration of appointments to said Committee.
BACKGROUND
In January 2023, the Mayor appointed Councilmembers Lewis and DeGolia to serve as the Town’s Ad Hoc Council Subcommittee for the planning and execution of the 100-Year Celebration in September 2023 (Incorporation September 12, 2023). The Subcommittee met and discussed the need for additional support in the form of residents that may be interested in helping plan and execute the event(s). The Subcommittee spoke with a number of residents that may be interested in participating in varying capacity.
Ad Hoc Subcommittees are non-Brown Act Committees made up solely of less than a quorum of the City Council (plus staff or consultant assistance). However, when a Subcommittee adds the general public in support of their mission and begins to meet with outside members, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee converts to a Standing Committee (to be ratified by the Council). As a Standing Committee, the Committee is subject to the Brown Act and all communication must occur at open, publicly noticed meetings held in a publicly accessible locations. Such meetings must also include published and recorded minutes. Communication amongst the members of the Standing Committee with respect to their charge cannot occur in private.
ANALYSIS
100-Year Celebration Committee
February 15, 2023
Via tonight’s Agenda item, the Council can review and discuss the creation of a formal Town Committee (100-Year Celebration Committee) and consider the recruitment and/or immediate appointment of members to such a Committee. If the Council chooses to create such a Committee, it would also be appropriate for the Council to articulate the charter for the Committee and determine a size of voting membership for quorum purposes. For example, the Committee could be responsible for working with staff to develop a plan and program of activities for the 100-Year Celebration; select a date(s) for activities; and recommend a total budget and program for consideration by the City Council. Voting membership could be 7 members plus the Standing Committee of the City Council (non-voting). At that size, the Committee would be able to break down into non-quorum sized subcommittees to tackle tasks during the event (parking, entertainment, music, vendors, safety, communication, etc.).
Alternatively, the Council could ratify the Standing Committee of the City Council and allow the same activities to occur (i.e. working with staff to develop a plan, budget, present to Council, etc.) but the Standing Committee would be allowed to add the general public to the team as they go along based on the individual’s level of commitment and ability to contribute. The Standing Committee would still be required to meet in public (set up regular meetings), comply with the Brown Act (preparation/posting of a regular agenda and preparation of minutes); as well as coordination of events and activities. This event will require the commitment of Town resources, commitments to contracts, and engagement of personnel. Neither the Council individually nor the general public have the ability to do that; therefore, staff needs to be engaged in the planning and execution as early as possible.
The successful recruitment and appointment of volunteers to serve on a formal Town Committee could take 30-60 days. Realistically, it would take another week or so to organize a regular meeting schedule, orientation, discussion of the Brown Act, etc. It would likely be more nimble for the Council to ratify the Standing Committee with the ability to add people to the team as they go along based on level of commitment and ability to contribute. As a Standing Committee, the Councilmembers are still subject to the Brown Act, but it would be a more nimble approach to the event planning and execution.
FISCAL IMPACT
No budget or program has yet been developed for the 100-Year Celebration Event. The work of the formal Town Committee or Standing Committee will be focused on this as part of their recommendation to the Council.
GOAL ALIGNMENT
This Report and its contents are in alignment with the following Council Policy Goals:
