DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2026
SUBJECT: CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INTRODUCE FOR

FIRST READING, BY TITLE ONLY, AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING ATHERTON MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 15.40.152,
"CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS PLAN
(CMOP)

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend that the City Council continue the Public Hearing from September 16, 2026, an ordinance amending Atherton Municipal Code (AMC) Section 15.40.152, Construction Management and Operations Plan (CMOP).

BACKGROUND
This is a continued reading, from September 16, 2026, Council Meeting, of an ordinance amendment of the Atherton Municipal Code that revises the requirements and adds regulatory authority to Chapter 15.40.152 of the Code regarding the Construction Operations and Parking Plan Guidelines. Per Council direction, certain verbiage alterations, additions, or deletions have been made to the CMOP Agreement, including definitions for substantial remodel, full-site development, minor interior alteration, addition, and demolition that have been added to the Scope of Work requiring a CMOP Guidelines/Matrix (attachment 4).

On June 3, 2026, the City Council held a Study Session to discuss ways to better manage and mitigate the cumulative impacts of multiple ongoing and projected construction projects within the Town. Council directed staff to strengthen the Town's Construction Operations Plan (COP), with particular attention to construction vehicle parking, site cleanup and maintenance, neighbor outreach and timely notification of project milestones and disruptive operations, and more effective enforcement tools and protocols. Council also directed staff to review practices used by

Page 4 of 127 ends

CMOP / AMC Section 15.40.152
October 7, 2026
nearby jurisdictions and consider whether those practices could be adapted to Atherton.

On July 21, 2026, staff held a stakeholder meeting at Town Hall attended by approximately 50 representatives of construction firms, owner/builders, residents, and staff, engaged in projects within Atherton. Staff sought feedback regarding the proposed construction management requirements and their practical effect on construction operations. Common themes included improved communication with neighbors, identification and posting of a responsible 24/7 site contact, mandatory daily site and frontage cleanup, practical “common sense” parking requirements and carpooling when possible, and clearer enforcement mechanisms, including increased administrative fines for violations, and Stop Work Orders when appropriate.

The September 16, 2026, meeting included two actions for Council approval and a separate request for feedback regarding potential additional amendments to Chapter 15.40 and adding Chapter

15.41 of the Atherton Municipal Code.

First, staff requested introduction for first reading of an ordinance amending AMC Section

15.40.152 to establish the regulatory framework for requiring, reviewing, approving, implementing, and enforcing a Construction Management and Operations Plan (CMOP) (CMOP Ordinance – Attachment #1).

Second, staff requested Council approval of a standard template for the Construction Management and Operations Plan Agreement (CMOP Agreement – Attachment #2).

As part of the continued Public Hearing, staff will walk through the changes made in response to Council comments at the September 16 meeting.

ANALYSIS
The following is a high-level summary included from the prior Staff Report.

Section 15.40.152 and the CMOP Guidelines: The proposed amendments to Section 15.40.152 provide that a CMOP is required for construction projects when its scope of work is identified in a matrix accompanying this Staff Report as requiring CMOP review, or when otherwise required by the Building Official. The Building Department will maintain and make available the applicable list of scopes of work.

When required, the CMOP will be submitted as part of the construction plans, reviewed and approved by the Building Official or designee, and made part of the approved construction documents and conditions of the building permit.
• The CMOP is the project-specific plan. The Council-approved standard template CMOP Agreement provides the governing standards for how construction management and site operations are to be conducted when a CMOP is required. Together, the approved projectspecific CMOP and the CMOP Agreement will operate as an agreement among the Town, the property owner/developer, and the contractor identified on the permit. The owner/developer and contractor will be required to acknowledge and comply with those requirements as a condition of permit issuance and for the duration of the project until finalization of the applicable permit. Failure to comply may result in enforcement under the AMC, including administrative citations, applicable fines, and/or a Stop Work Order where authorized. • The CMOP Agreement does not supersede Chapter 15.40 or any other applicable provision of

Page 5 of 127 ends

CMOP / AMC Section 15.40.152
October 7, 2026
the Atherton Municipal Code. Rather, the Agreement implements and supplements the Town's construction regulations. In the event of a conflict, the Atherton Municipal Code and other controlling law will govern.
o The proposed CMOP Agreement addresses construction parking and traffic management, site access and security, site cleanliness, tree protection, construction signage, deliveries and servicing, neighbor outreach and notification, responsible site personnel, and compliance and enforcement. Selected policy areas are summarized below.
• Construction Site Parking: Construction-related parking remains a significant source of neighborhood concern. The proposed CMOP Agreement establishes more detailed requirements for identifying and managing on-site parking, approved public right-of-way (PROW) parking, parking signage and placards, alternate parking arrangements, and emergency access. The Agreement prioritizes on-site parking and requires construction-related vehicles to park only in locations authorized by the approved CMOP or an approved Alternate Parking Plan.
o Identifying certain tight-access streets, such as some cul-de-sacs, as “Fire Lanes” severely limiting or, in some cases, prohibiting on-street parking in these locations. o Aligning on-street parking limitations with the Construction Time Limits Building Permit Valuation Table contained in Section 15.40.180 of the AMC, prohibiting on-street parking for projects classified as 2,000 square feet or less unless granted an exemption by staff for extenuating circumstances.

The parking standards are intended to require project teams to plan for parking demands before and throughout construction, reduce unnecessary neighborhood impacts, preserve traffic and emergency access, and provide clearer standards for enforcement. Depending on site conditions, contractors may need to use carpooling, vanpooling, approved alternate parking arrangements, or project phasing to reduce construction-related parking impacts. Staff recognizes that these requirements may result in additional project costs at sites with limited on-site parking or constrained access.
• Construction Signage and Site Safety: The proposed standard template CMOP Agreement continues to require Town issued construction signage at project entrances and require contractor identification signage to comply with applicable Town requirements. The CMOP Agreement also requires signage that provides superintendent/site safety director contact information or other responsible site representative as a primary project contact, and assigns responsibility for maintaining site safety, parking compliance, emergency coordination, and other construction management requirements applicable to the project. • Neighbor Outreach and Notification: Staff experience and stakeholder feedback indicate that timely communication with nearby residents can reduce construction-related conflicts and complaints. The proposed CMOP Agreement establishes notification requirements intended to provide affected neighbors with information regarding project contacts, anticipated schedules, major project milestones, disruptive operations, and other activities that may affect access or the reasonable use and enjoyment of neighboring properties.

Page 6 of 127 ends

CMOP / AMC Section 15.40.152
October 7, 2026
• The CMOP Agreement establishes project notification requirements based on the type of activity and affected area. Required notices identify the construction site, applicable dates and hours, the nature of the activity, and responsible project contact information. Certain planned activities and exemption requests require advance notice to affected properties. These requirements are intended to provide predictable communication standards while allowing staff to address site-specific or time-sensitive circumstances consistent with the approved CMOP and applicable Town requirements.
• Compliance and Enforcement: The CMOP Agreement is intended to provide clear, enforceable operating standards for projects requiring a CMOP. Because the approved CMOP and the CMOP Agreement are made part of the conditions of the building permit, failure to comply may result in enforcement action under the AMC. Available remedies may include warnings where appropriate, administrative citations and applicable fines, and Stop Work Orders when authorized by the Building Official or other applicable authority.

The CMOP Agreement is intended to support consistent and progressive enforcement while preserving staff discretion appropriate to the circumstances of each violation.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The approval of this Ordinance and corresponding template CMOP Agreement are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15309, which consists of activities limited to inspections to check for performance of an operation, or quality, health, or safety of a project. This Ordinance and corresponding Agreement are further exempt pursuant to section 15332.

COUNCIL ACTION AND DIRECTION REQUESTED
Staff recommend that the Council introduce for first reading the amendment to AMC Section 15.40.152 and approve the standard template CMOP Agreement.

POLICY FOCUS
While developing the proposed standard template CMOP Agreement and related ordinance concepts, staff reviewed approaches used by other local jurisdictions to manage the impacts of large-scale residential construction. The Town of Hillsborough and City of Belvedere were identified as useful comparables because both regulate substantial residential construction activity and use construction management requirements addressing parking, site operations, responsible personnel, neighborhood impacts, and enforcement. An Alternative/Criterion Matrix (Attachment #5) compares Atherton's current approach with practices in those jurisdictions using criteria including enforceability, effectiveness, feasibility, community support, and fiscal impacts.

Hillsborough requires qualifying projects to submit a construction management plan addressing matters such as construction phasing, parking, material and vehicle storage, portable facilities, dust control, deliveries, and responsible site personnel. Its approach emphasizes on-site construction parking, advance neighbor notification, and escalating enforcement when permit conditions are repeatedly violated.

Page 7 of 127 ends

CMOP / AMC Section 15.40.152
October 7, 2026
• On-site parking is prioritized unless an alternate arrangement is approved. • Advance neighbor notification is required for specified construction activity. • Repeated noncompliance may result in additional inspection or enforcement measures.

Hillsborough staff reported that Stop Work Orders are an important compliance tool when violations are not corrected after warnings. Staff considered this approach when developing the proposed CMOP Agreement and the broader Chapter 15.40 enforcement amendments.

Belvedere similarly relies on project-specific staging, parking, and materials plans and places substantial emphasis on controlling construction parking, identifying project-associated vehicles, maintaining responsible on-site supervision, and using Stop Work Orders as an enforcement tool when necessary.
• Construction parking is limited and project-associated vehicles are identified. • Project plans identify parking, material storage, and equipment operations. • Responsible on-site supervision is required during construction activity.

Belvedere staff described its construction management requirements as effective and enforceable, with Stop Work Orders serving as a significant compliance mechanism. These practices informed staff's evaluation of potential revisions to Atherton's CMOP and broader construction regulations.

The comparison with Hillsborough and Belvedere supports several themes reflected in the proposed standard CMOP Agreement: prioritizing on-site parking, clearly identifying authorized construction parking, establishing responsible site contacts, improving neighborhood communication, and providing meaningful enforcement tools.

The broader Chapter 15.40 amendments that staff will propose will address the regulatory provisions necessary to support these operational standards. Staff will also propose to separate the Town's CTL provisions from Chapter 15.40 and recodify them as Chapter 15.41, allowing construction operations requirements and construction time-limit requirements to be administered as distinct chapters. This will ensure that all the amendments tie together across the Code and will make the Code more readable.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates that introduction of the Section 15.40.152 amendment, approval of the standard template CMOP Agreement, and introduction of an ordinance amending Chapter 15.40 of the Atherton Municipal Code will not result in significant additional net costs to the Town. These actions are intended to improve administration and enforcement of existing construction regulations.

TOWN OF ATHERTON

BUILDING DEPARTMENT
Construction Management and Operations Plan (CMOP)
Scope of Work Guidelines & Matrix
Purpose
• This guide explains when a construction permit application requires a CMOP plan sheet, when a CMOP Agreement is also required, and when the project is regulated by Chapter 15.40 without a CMOP. • The CMOP plan sheet is part of the permit plans and shows how construction activity will be managed on the property, including access, parking, staging, deliveries, material storage, and other site operations. • A CMOP Agreement is a separate acknowledgment of the construction-management requirements applicable to the project. Some scopes of work require a CMOP plan sheet but do not normally require a CMOP Agreement. • All construction projects remain subject to applicable requirements of Atherton Municipal Code Chapter 15.40, whether or not a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement is required. • The Building Official may require additional CMOP review or a CMOP Agreement based on the nature, scope, location, phasing, site conditions, or anticipated construction operations of a particular project.

Definitions
• Substantial Remodel: The renovation of any structure that affects a floor area exceeding twenty percent of the existing floor area or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less, within any 36-month period. When changes are made to building components such as walls, columns, beams and girders, floor or ceiling joists and coverings, roof rafters, roof diaphragms, foundations, piles, retaining walls, or similar components, the floor area of all rooms affected by those changes is included when calculating the affected floor area. Replacement or upgrading of residential roof coverings is not included in this definition.
• Addition: An extension or increase in floor area, number of stories, or height of a building or structure. • Minor Interior Alteration: Interior renovation that does not meet the definition of a Substantial Remodel. This includes replacement of windows that remain the same size and in the same locations as the existing windows. • Full Site Development: New construction of one or more buildings or structures on the same parcel. The project may include associated grading and drainage, swimming pools and spas, fountains, detached garages, vehicular gates and fences, and other approved permanent structures. Concurrent demolition of existing buildings or structures on the parcel may also be included.
• Demolition (Demo): The deconstruction, demolition, or removal of one or more buildings or structures on a parcel.

Full Site Development, Grading & Drainage, and Deferred Submittals • Full Site Development: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. The initial plan set must show all known related and deferred scopes of work so the Town can review the overall construction operations for the site. • Grading & Drainage (G&D): A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. G&D is reviewed under its required permit and plan set, and all known deferred scopes must be shown on the initial plans. • Deferred submittals during an active parent project: When a deferred permit is submitted while the approved Full Site Development or G&D CMOP remains active, the deferred work must be reviewed for consistency with the approved CMOP. The Town may require the parent CMOP to be updated to reflect changes in contractor, parking, staging, access, deliveries, or other site operations.
• Deferred submittals after the parent-project period has passed: A later deferred permit requires its own CMOP plan review and CMOP Agreement. This accounts for the possibility that the contractor performing the deferred work is different from the contractor responsible for the original Full Site Development or G&D work. • Contractor responsibility: When a separate CMOP Agreement is required for a deferred permit, the contractor listed on that permit is responsible for the CMOP requirements and Agreement applicable to that work.

Page 25 of 127 ends

Permit and CMOP Review Notes
• Demolition: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required for demolition of a building or structure. When demolition is part of Full Site Development, the demolition operations should be coordinated with the parent CMOP. • Substantial Remodels and Additions: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. Related scopes may be coordinated under the same active CMOP when they are part of the same project. • Pools and Spas: New pools and spas require CMOP review and a CMOP Agreement. Limited repair or replaster work requires a CMOP plan sheet but does not normally require a CMOP Agreement. • Fences and Gates: When a building permit is required for a fence, vehicular gate, or pedestrian gate, a CMOP plan sheet is required. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required. • Miscellaneous Landscape Structures (MLS): Permitted structures such as outdoor kitchens, seat walls, fire pits, fountains, water features, and similar improvements require a CMOP plan sheet. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required unless the work is part of a larger project that requires one. • Plumbing, Electrical, and Mechanical Site Work: Exterior or site work requiring plan review also requires a CMOP plan sheet. The CMOP should show affected site areas and, as applicable, access, trenching, equipment, material storage, and staging. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required unless separately triggered. • Generators: A generator installed on an equipment pad does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement.

A generator enclosed by a structure requires the applicable building permit for the structure, but the generator installation does not by itself trigger CMOP requirements. • WELO: A stand-alone WELO landscape/irrigation submittal does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement. Applicable landscape and Chapter 15.40 requirements still apply. • Photovoltaic / Solar: A stand-alone photovoltaic or solar permit does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement. Chapter 15.40 continues to apply to construction activity. • Landscape Screening: Landscape screening is reviewed under its separate plan-set requirements and is not part of the CMOP requirement matrix.
• Projects Without a CMOP: A project that does not require a CMOP is still subject to applicable Chapter 15.40 requirements, including construction hours, parking, deliveries, traffic, site cleanliness, public property, signage, screening, and enforcement.

How to Use the Matrix
• Use the matrix on the following page as the quick-reference sheet for permit intake and public information. • “YES” means the item is normally required for that scope of work. • “NO” means the item is not normally required for that scope of work. • “Chapter 15.40 Only” means no CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement is normally required, but the Town’s construction regulations still apply.
• Where a CMOP plan sheet is required but the Agreement column shows “NO,” the Building Official may still require an Agreement when project-specific conditions warrant additional construction-management controls.

CMOP Scope of Work Guidelines
Purpose
• This guide explains when a construction permit application requires a CMOP plan sheet, when a CMOP Agreement is also required, and when the project is regulated by Chapter 15.40 without a CMOP. • The CMOP plan sheet is part of the permit plans and shows how construction activity will be managed on the property, including access, parking, staging, deliveries, material storage, and other site operations. • A CMOP Agreement is a separate acknowledgment of the construction-management requirements applicable to the project. Some scopes of work require a CMOP plan sheet but do not normally require a CMOP Agreement.
• All construction projects remain subject to applicable requirements of Atherton Municipal Code Chapter 15.40, whether or not a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement is required. • The Building Official may require additional CMOP review or a CMOP Agreement based on the nature, scope, location, phasing, site conditions, or anticipated construction operations of a particular project. 5 4

Definitions
• Substantial Remodel: The renovation of any structure that affects a floor area exceeding twenty percent of the existing floor area or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less, within any 36-month period. When changes are made to building components such as walls, columns, beams and girders, floor or ceiling joists and coverings, roof rafters, roof diaphragms, foundations, piles, retaining walls, or similar components, the floor area of all rooms affected by those changes is included when calculating the affected floor area. Replacement or upgrading of residential roof coverings is not included in this definition.
• Addition: An extension or increase in floor area, number of stories, or height of a building or structure. • Minor Interior Alteration: Interior renovation that does not meet the definition of a Substantial Remodel. This includes replacement of windows that remain the same size and in the same locations as the existing windows. • Full Site Development: New construction of one or more buildings or structures on the same parcel. The project may include associated grading and drainage, swimming pools and spas, fountains, detached garages, vehicular gates and fences, and other approved permanent structures. Concurrent demolition of existing buildings or structures on the parcel may also be included.
• Demolition (Demo): The deconstruction, demolition, or removal of one or more buildings or structures on a parcel. 5 5

SECTION 15.40.152 • MATRIX INSTRUCTIONS
CMOP Scope of Work Guidelines - Continued
Full Site Development, Grading & Drainage, and Deferred Submittals • Full Site Development: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. The initial plan set must show all known related and deferred scopes of work so the Town can review the overall construction operations for the site. • Grading & Drainage (G&D): A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. G&D is reviewed under its required permit and plan set, and all known deferred scopes must be shown on the initial plans. • Deferred submittals during an active parent project: When a deferred permit is submitted while the approved Full Site Development or G&D CMOP remains active, the deferred work must be reviewed for consistency with the approved CMOP.

The Town may require the parent CMOP to be updated to reflect changes in contractor, parking, staging, access, deliveries, or other site operations.
• Deferred submittals after the parent-project period has passed: A later deferred permit requires its own CMOP plan review and CMOP Agreement. This accounts for the possibility that the contractor performing the deferred work is different from the contractor responsible for the original Full Site Development or G&D work. • Contractor responsibility: When a separate CMOP Agreement is required for a deferred permit, the contractor listed on that permit is responsible for the CMOP requirements and Agreement applicable to that work. 5 6

Permit and CMOP Review Notes
• Demolition: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required for demolition of a building or structure. When demolition is part of Full Site Development, the demolition operations should be coordinated with the parent CMOP. • Substantial Remodels and Additions: A CMOP plan sheet and CMOP Agreement are required. Related scopes may be coordinated under the same active CMOP when they are part of the same project. • Pools and Spas: New pools and spas require CMOP review and a CMOP Agreement. Limited repair or replaster work requires a CMOP plan sheet but does not normally require a CMOP Agreement. • Fences and Gates: When a building permit is required for a fence, vehicular gate, or pedestrian gate, a CMOP plan sheet is required. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required.
• Miscellaneous Landscape Structures (MLS): Permitted structures such as outdoor kitchens, seat walls, fire pits, fountains, water features, and similar improvements require a CMOP plan sheet. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required unless the work is part of a larger project that requires one. 5 7

Permit and CMOP Review Notes - Continued
• Plumbing, Electrical, and Mechanical Site Work: Exterior or site work requiring plan review also requires a CMOP plan sheet. The CMOP should show affected site areas and, as applicable, access, trenching, equipment, material storage, and staging. A CMOP Agreement is not normally required unless separately triggered. • Generators: A generator installed on an equipment pad does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement. A generator enclosed by a structure requires the applicable building permit for the structure, but the generator installation does not by itself trigger CMOP requirements.
• WELO: A stand-alone WELO landscape/irrigation submittal does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement. Applicable landscape and Chapter 15.40 requirements still apply.
• Photovoltaic / Solar: A stand-alone photovoltaic or solar permit does not require a CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement. Chapter

15.40 continues to apply to construction activity.
• Landscape Screening: Landscape screening is reviewed under its separate plan-set requirements and is not part of the CMOP requirement matrix.
• Projects Without a CMOP: A project that does not require a CMOP is still subject to applicable Chapter 15.40 requirements, including construction hours, parking, deliveries, traffic, site cleanliness, public property, signage, screening, and enforcement. 5 8

How to Use the Matrix
• Use the matrix on the following page as the quick-reference sheet for permit intake and public information. • “YES” means the item is normally required for that scope of work. • “NO” means the item is not normally required for that scope of work. • “Chapter 15.40 Only” means no CMOP plan sheet or CMOP Agreement is normally required, but the Town’s construction regulations still apply.
• Where a CMOP plan sheet is required but the Agreement column shows “NO,” the Building Official may still require an Agreement when project-specific conditions warrant additional construction-management controls.
