Emergency Management Activities

1. COAD of South San Mateo County
No Update.

2. San Mateo County Emergency Managers Association Meeting Staff participated in the San Mateo County Emergency Managers Workgroup on February 19, 2026. The session included 22 participants from cities across the county, fire, EMS, law enforcement, human services, communications, and SFO. The discussion focused on current challenges, best practices, and areas where county support is needed.

Key themes identified during the meeting included:
• Crisis communications: Jurisdictions highlighted gaps in coordinated messaging, rapid call center capabilities, and the need for a shared framework for incidents that do not trigger full EOC activation.
• Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs): Many cities reported outdated or overly complex plans, and requested practical, adaptable templates aligned with county and neighboring jurisdictions.

Page 10 of 320 ends

City Clerk Monthly Report
March 18, 2026
• Evacuation planning: Planning is underway but uneven, with concerns about temporary evacuation points at schools and interdependencies that could cause cascading disruptions.
• CBO engagement: Local agencies emphasized the importance of being involved early in shaping community-based organization coordination and requested clearer guidance on COAD/VOAD structures.

Common barriers included limited staff and funding, high turnover, connectivity gaps, and the need for more time and tools to collaborate effectively. The county plans to prioritize crisis communications and EOP support moving forward.

Staff will continue to coordinate with the County on crisis communications and EOP resources, participate in the March 13th PIO Forum on the Crisis Communications Framework, and engage in the next May 18th Quarterly Emergency Managers Workgroup to collaborate with Operational Area CBOs and advance local emergency preparedness initiatives.

SUSTAINABILITY

1. Waste Reduction
a. Spring Compost Workshop with San Mateo County Sustainability Department (May 12, 2026 at 6pm)
Staff have confirmed a Spring Compost Workshop in partnership with the San Mateo County (SMC) Sustainability Department on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 6 PM in Jennings Pavilion. This workshop is part of the Environmental Programs Committee’s Spring and Fall programming, highlighting Climate Action Plan themes and ways residents can help reduce environmental impact. The focal theme for Spring 2026 is reducing Solid Waste.

These free workshops show residents how easy and fun it is to recycle fruit and vegetable scraps, leaves, and plant cuttings into compost. Participants will learn how compost enriches garden soil, retains moisture, prevents erosion, improves drainage, and suppresses weeds.
b. Roll-Off Bins / GreenWaste Franchise Amendment
Staff continue preparing for the transition of Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris services to GreenWaste Recovery, which holds the exclusive franchise to collect, transport, recycle, process, and dispose of all C&D debris in the Town as of January 1, 2026. This transition follows a 2020 City Council decision and supports compliance with State law.

Staff recently received a memorandum from R3 Consulting outlining findings and recommendations related to the Town’s roll off bin process. Over the next month,

Page 11 of 320 ends

City Clerk Monthly Report
March 18, 2026
staff from the City Manager’s Office, Building Department, and Code Enforcement will meet to review these recommendations, discuss next steps, and identify implementation strategies. The goal is to streamline operations and refine enforcement processes by Summer 2026.

The Environmental Programs Committee is scheduled to meet on Thursday, May 19, 2026, at 1 pm. The proposed agenda includes the following items:

1. Review and approve January meeting minutes

2. Review and discuss the Environmental Programs Committee Charter

3. Continued Discussion on Earth Day participation

4. Spring and Fall programming and events aligned with the Climate Action Plan
d. Refuse & Recycling Committee
Staff are looking to schedule a meeting for April 2026 to present the recent quarterly reports from GreenWaste Recovery and sustainability reports from our regional partners.
e. Compost Pile + Potential Compost Hub Coming in 2026
The compost pile at Holbrook Palmer Park remains a popular and well used free resource for the community and is restocked every two to three months, or as needed when supplies run low.

Staff are planning to use approximately $10,000 in grant funding to establish a compost hub and message board area at the site by Fall 2026 through the SB 1383 Organic Waste Recovery Grant. The conceptual plan has been shared with the Environmental Programs Committee for initial feedback and will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Committee in April or May 2026 for additional feedback.

The proposed Compost Hub at the Park would include the existing free compost pile, shovels, an outdoor play table, a large zig zag hinged message center, and a welcome sign. The message center would be used to share information about Town events and programs, SB 1383 and organic waste recovery educational materials, and other related community information.

2. Electrification
a. E-Leaf Blower Program
Atherton residents continue to participate in the Town’s Electric Leaf Blower Rebate Program, which supports the transition to cleaner, quieter landscaping

City Clerk Monthly Report

equipment while aligning with the Town’s noise and electrification regulations.

As of early March, fewer than 40 rebates remain available.

The remaining rebate funds will be available through June 2027 on a first come, first served basis, or until funds are exhausted. Households are eligible for one rebate per fiscal year. Staff are continuing outreach and communications out on the field and in the upcoming Spring Athertonian to encourage residents to take advantage of the remaining rebates and support the community’s transition to electric landscaping equipment.

Staff have also finalized an Enforcement FAQ to support the Town’s transition from the initial two-year education phase to active enforcement. b. PCE Member Agency Grant + EV Chargers Project
The Town was awarded $181,946 through Peninsula Clean Energy’s (PCE) Member Agency Grant to advance municipal electrification and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Grant funds will support two key projects: the purchase of an electric lift and the installation of six Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers—four at Holbrook-Palmer Park and two at the Police Department. The project includes EV Ready infrastructure to allow for future expansion, with up to four additional ports at the Park and two at the Police Department.

The project has experienced a delay during the design and building permit submittal phase. Staff are currently coordinating internally to review the project status and determine the best next steps to move the project forward.

3. Climate Action Plan (CAP) and Dashboard
Staff are coordinating with regional partners to gather information on their progress reports for the Climate Action Plan (CAP). This effort is part of planning for a CAP MidCycle check-in to be presented to the EPC and the City Council later this year, providing an update on the Town’s progress toward its climate and carbon neutrality goals.

Response Times
In general, there are 3 types of Calls for Service from the Police Department. In order of priority:

High, Medium, and Low.

High Priority calls are in-progress events where persons or high-value property are in immediate danger and require a multiple officer response. This is a lights and siren response to a crime in progress, injury collision, or medical emergency.

Medium Priority calls are in-progress events without immediate danger to persons or property.

Multiple officers may be necessary for these calls. These calls take precedence over all other calls for service and require an immediate police response (non-lights and siren), but the incident may not be in progress. The most common medium priority calls are burglary, robbery, sexual assault, and residential burglary alarm activations. The latter is the most frequent call in Atherton.

Low Priority calls are other calls for service. Events that may no longer be in-progress, so immediate response is not as urgent. Normally requires a single officer. Officers may or may not be immediately dispatched to these calls. Low priority calls are dogs off leash the Park, parking violations, construction noise or activity, and follow-up police reports.

During the Reporting Period there were:

Priority Level Number of Calls Average Response Time Goal High 8 2:18 <4 minutes
Medium 313 5:11 <6 minutes
Low 222 4:43 <8 minutes
Response times are calculated from the time the call is dispatched until the time the officer arrives on the scene. The table below depicts the Department’s Medium Priority response times for the past 6 months.

Item No. 3
Town of Atherton
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT – CONSENT AGENDA
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

GEORGE RODERICKS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: BRITTANY BENDIX, TOWN PLANNER
DATE: MARCH 18, 2026
SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO ADD CHAPTER 17.59 AND AMEND CHAPTER 17.60 OF THE ATHERTON

MUNICIPAL CODE, TO ADDRESS POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
UNDER SENATE BILL 79
RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance to add Chapter 17.59 “Regulations and Objective Standards for Development Projects Sought Pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.157 (SB 79)” and to amend Chapter 17.60 “Definitions” in the Atherton Municipal Code with the purpose of establishing development standards in response to the stateenabled massing and density of Senate Bill 79.

BACKGROUND
SB 79, now codified as Government Code Section 65912.155 - 65912.162, is a State housing law that applies to residential developments located within a specified distance of a transit-oriented development (TOD) stop. The law requires that qualifying housing projects be treated as a permitted use on any site zoned for residential, mixed-use, or commercial development, provided the project complies with the provisions set forth in SB 79. Projects submitted pursuant to SB 79 are not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), unless they involve a separate discretionary action.

In Atherton, SB 79 applies to properties located within one-quarter mile of the Menlo Park Caltrain Station. For those properties, the statute requires that residential development be permitted at a minimum density of 120 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), a minimum building height of 75 feet, and a minimum floor area ratio (FAR) of 3.5. Seven properties in Atherton meet the statutory eligibility criteria and are subject to SB 79, as shown in Figure 1 below.

Atherton does not currently have objective standards in place for development at this intensity. Accordingly, Council directed staff to prepare an implementing ordinance establishing objective development and design standards applicable to SB 79 projects prior to the law’s effective date on July 1, 2026.

On January 20, 2026, the Town held a public workshop to receive feedback on development modeling and potential objective standards applicable to SB 79 projects. The workshop included an overview of state-mandated requirements, as well as illustrative massing scenarios demonstrating how those standards could be implemented on eligible sites within Atherton.

Participants emphasized the importance of maximizing setbacks to maintain privacy and neighborhood character, though there was limited support for increasing height or floor area as trade-offs to achieve greater setbacks. Staff incorporated this feedback into the preparation of the draft ordinance.

The Planning Commission considered the draft ordinance at its January 28, 2026, meeting and voted to recommend approval to the City Council. During its discussion, the Commission acknowledged staff’s approach to prioritizing setbacks while ensuring compliance with height and density requirements. Commissioners also expressed concerns that the proposed open space standards could be overly permissive and may result in noise or privacy impacts to adjacent R-1 properties. Commissioners Polito, Tonelli, Leugers, and Levison voted in favor of recommending approval of the ordinance, with direction to further evaluate the open space provisions.

Commissioner Seabolt voted against the recommendation, citing concerns regarding the allowance of open space under the proposed standards.

The draft ordinance was revised consistent with Planning Commission direction and presented to the City Council for first reading at its regular meeting on February 18, 2026. At that meeting, Council provided additional direction to staff, as outlined in the Analysis section below, and voted 5-0 to introduce the ordinance and advance it to a second reading.

Since the City Council meeting, staff has also had an opportunity to meet with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and discuss the proposed ordinance.

Generally, HCD is supportive of the Town’s approach and directed the Town to make one modification to clarify the inclusionary requirements, as discussed further below.

ANALYSIS
Staff has included a revised ordinance as Attachment 1 reflecting changes made since the first reading. Since the February 18, 2026, meeting, the following revisions have been made:
• Purpose: For greater transparency, staff has added language to link the effective date of this chapter to the effective date of state law. Given the state’s ongoing efforts to refine the language of SB 79, it is possible that the effectiveness of the state law could be delayed.

However, the current timeline does not afford the Town an option to “wait and see.” • Characteristics of the District: This section identifies the affordability requirements of projects pursuant to state law. During staff’s discussion with HCD, the Town was directed to clarify in this section that while the Town’s 20 percent inclusionary housing requirement would apply, a portion of that amount would need to satisfy one of the state’s three affordability requirements for SB 79 projects – either 7 percent at extremely low income, 10 percent at very low income or 13 percent at lower income. For example, an eligible SB 79 project in Atherton could provide 7 percent of units at extremely low income and 13 percent of moderate income to meet the Town’s overall 20 percent requirement. • Site Design (Section D): The word “paved” has been removed from Standard (D)(3)(a) to provide greater flexibility in sidewalk design as the Town pursues its Active Transportation Plan, while maintaining the required minimum five-foot-wide walkway per ADA requirements. Figure 17.59.030-1 has been updated, consistent with the presentation to Council, to depict a landscape buffer and to include an additional plan view of the streetscape requirements for clarity.
• Open Space Design (Section E): Standard (E)(2)(a) has been modified to require common open space to be provided at grade and requires open space designed for active recreation (including outdoor kitchens, pools, play areas, sports courts, and dog runs) to be located at least forty (40) feet from any shared R-1 lot line. Standard (E)(2)(b) has been deleted because elevated common open space is no longer allowed per Council direction. “Patios” has been added to Standard (E)(3)(d) to clarify that private open space areas—including balconies, patios, and decks—may not face an adjacent R-1 lot. • Landscaping (Section F): Standard (F)(2)(b) has been modified at Council’s direction to establish minimum tree size requirements for landscape screening, consistent with the Town Arborist’s recommendation that screening trees achieve a minimum mature height of twenty-five (25) feet.

Page 69 of 320 ends

SB 79 Ordinance – City Council Staff Report, 2nd Reading March 18, 2026

Page 4 ends

• Entries and Openings (Section I): Standard (I)(1) has been added to limit buildings to no more than two (2) resident entries facing an adjacent R-1 lot, except where additional entries are required to meet fire and life safety requirements under the California Building Code. Furthermore, the minimum fifty-four (54)-inch window sill height requirement has been removed from Standard (I)(7)(c) for consistency with building code requirements. • Accessory Buildings and Structures (Section M): The standards have been updated for consistency with RM-10 development requirements. This includes increasing side and rear setbacks from five (5) feet to ten (10) feet and introducing standards for detached garages and trash collection consistent with RM-10 development standards.

FINDINGS:

Chapter 17.18 of the AMC sets the process for zoning code amendments whereby the Planning Commission adopts a resolution with recommendations to the City Council. The Council will then approve, conditionally approve, or deny the zoning amendments. To approve the amendments the Council must find that the changes are consistent with the Town’s General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs, as identified below:

Housing Element Goal 3.710 Facilitate the private development of housing to meet the above moderate income housing need identified for
Atherton.

Housing Element Objective 3.711 Realize the construction of approximately 150 net new housing units in the above-moderate income category in
Atherton from 2023-2031.

Housing Element Policy 3.712 Within the limitations of the private housing market the Town shall work with private developers to encourage new housing development.

Housing Element Goal 3.760 Encourage special consideration to the maintenance and expansion of housing opportunities for handicapped and
low- and moderate-income homeless persons.

Housing Element Objective 3.761 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for citizens of modest means.

Housing Element Goal 3.770 Meet the needs of seniors, in light of the pending growth of this population in San Mateo County
Housing Element Policy 3.772 B. Support the conservation and development of affordable housing for seniors with lower incomes.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The project is Categorically Exemption per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(3) relates to the common sense exemption, as the ordinance amendments would not result in any changes to land use or density already approved by the state.
