FY 2024 Budget Adoption - Staff Report
Budget adoption actions for Council consideration are outlined below. City staff also requests that City Council grant the authority to make ministerial changes to the budget.
Budget Adoption Resolutions
Budget Adoption (Attachments B and C). Resolutions establishing the FY 2023-24 Base Revenue, Appropriations (expenditure), Capital Improvement Program Budget, and Permanent Staffing Plan for the City and BFPD.
Consistent with previous fiscal years, the proposed budget includes a Permanent Staffing Plan for Council consideration and approval. To facilitate the City Manager’s responsibility to address organizational changes that may arise, the budget resolution also includes language authorizing the City Manager to revise the Staffing Plan so long as the total number of full-time, regular personnel does not exceed the total number of Council-authorized positions, consistent with Belmont’s City Code and the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The Permanent Staffing Plan for FY 2023-24 is proposed at 144.25 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for the City, representing a 2.75 FTE increase from the prior FY.
Appropriations Limit Revision (Attachments D and E). Proposition 4, approved by California voters in 1979, requires cities to calculate and establish an Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) annually. This limit is based on actual appropriations in the 1978-79 fiscal year and is permitted to increase annually to the extent of population growth and inflation. The City’s FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit is $22,020,940 and the BFPD’s FY 2023-24 Appropriations Limit is $14,038,988. Both proposed budgets are below the stated limit, with calculations attached to the respective resolutions.
Special Tax for Community Facilities District No. 2000-1 (Library Project) Authorization (Attachment F). City Council is also required to authorize the annual special tax for the library (Community Facilities District No. 2000-1) annually. The resolution requests that the County of San Mateo collect the special tax on the property tax rolls for FY 2023-24. Master Revenue Schedule Adoption (Attachment G). As part of the annual budget process, departments review their fees to ensure compliance with the City’s and BFPD’s policy of attaining full cost recovery where possible (including direct and indirect costs). The attached Master Revenue Schedule reflects these changes, displaying both current and proposed fees with changes highlighted. Unchanged fees are included for refence only and have been approved previously, either by Council or other governing boards. Where appropriate, Council may elect to establish fees which are less than full cost recovery.

Annual fee adjustments to the Master Revenue Schedule generally reflect the following.
Adjustment Type Description Amount
Consumer Price Index
(CPI)
Applied annually to fees not specifically based on
level of effort as well as park impact, traffic
impact, and housing mitigation fees (in
accordance with respective ordinances).
4.2%
Hourly Rate Updated annually to reflect increases and
decreases in productive hourly rates for services
provided; varies by department.
Varies
Building Permit and
Development Review
Fees
Updated annually to reflect increase or decrease
in building valuation fees based on five-year
average of operating costs.
12.3%
Level of Effort Applied to reflect increase or decrease in level of effort to complete one unit of service.
Varies
Other highlights from the FY 2023-24 Master Revenue Schedule include the following. • No increase to the Business License Tax (BLT). Staff will continue to evaluate options and work with the business community on a comprehensive update in the future. • Park and facility rental fees were increased by 5%. These increases reflect the CPI adjustment as well as substantial increases to utility and supply costs. • Engineering fees saw increases and decreases, with one new fee description. A fee description was added for Utility Encroachments in the Right of Way. Many fees were decreased by 6% based on adjustments to the hourly rate, while several rates increased to reflect staff effort.
• Most development review and building permit fees increased by 12.3%. These increases reflect elevated costs due to increasing development and permit activity. Following previous Council direction, Single Family Design Review fees on average are remaining below cost recovery. A fee study is underway to review and update certain development-related fees. If warranted, amended fees will be brought to Council for consideration upon completion of the fee study.
• Fire, sewer, and solid waste fees are included for reference only. These fees are adopted through a separate process, but are included for the purpose of presenting a comprehensive fee schedule.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELMONT ADOPTING FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 REVENUE, APPROPRIATIONS, AND CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGETS AND PERMANENT STAFFING PLAN FOR
THE CITY OF BELMONT
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to have a fiscal and staffing plan for the City of Belmont in order to plan for anticipated revenues and control expenditures; and, WHEREAS, the City Council and the Audit Committee reviewed the budgets for compliance with the goals and objectives of the community; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution finding the projects in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) were consistent with the Belmont General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan (BVSP); and,
WHEREAS, the fiscal year revenue, appropriation, capital improvement program and permanent staffing plan for the City of Belmont are expressed in the fiscal year 2023-24 budget document; and,
WHEREAS, the State is underfunding property tax in lieu of VLF (VLF) for a fourth straight year, and for the first time ever, the State has rejected the reimbursement claim to backfill the VLF shortfall, making this major revenue source increasingly vulnerable, resulting in the projected impact of a loss of $11 million over the next five years or $34 million over the next ten years if the State continues to underfund VLF; and, WHEREAS, General Fund balance reserves are currently being used to replace revenue shortfalls and maintain City services and quality of life, but the long-term use of fund balance to maintain services is not sustainable; and,
WHEREAS, current and projected City revenues are insufficient to consistently maintain the City’s general fund at or above the City’s General Fund policy target of 33% and minimum balance policy of $5 million over a ten-year forecast; and, WHEREAS, the City has implemented a number of cost saving strategies, however, the magnitude of the revenue shortfall greatly exceeds any additional savings that could practically be achieved through further cost cutting measures while maintaining City services and quality of life; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has held public hearings on the programs and fiscal policies to obtain public comments regarding the budget document.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Belmont resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The recitals above are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The revenue, appropriations, and CIP budgets for Fiscal Year 2023-24 525
are adopted as shown in the follow table:

Fee
Fee per dwelling unit:
Subdivision projects that are subject to the Quimby land dedication requirement or that pay the In-Lieu fee are also required to the pay the Park Improvement Fee.
The Fee Ordinance allows for an automatic adjustment of the fee to keep pace with inflationary increases in construction costs. This allows the fee level to keep pace with inflation without requiring an annual approval process. Senate Bill 330, the “Housing Crisis Act of 2019,” prevents jurisdictions from requiring housing development projects to comply with an ordinance, policy, or standard that was not already adopted and in effect at the time of the project’s preliminary application submittal. This applies directly to fees and exactions. Such fee increases are allowed during a project’s application period, however, if they are an annual fee adjustment based on an independently published cost index and referenced within the relevant establishing ordinance or resolution.
Varies in proportion to size
of primary residence.
The Single Family land use category includes single family detached units and single family attached units (e.g., townhouses, row houses, duplexes, etc.).
Multifamily Housing includes dwelling units contained in buildings designed for two or more families that are not on separate parcels, such as condominiums.
Accessory Dwelling Unit means a dwelling unit constructed under the second dwelling unit provisions contained in Belmont Zoning Ordinance Section 24. Senate Bill 13 (effective 1/1/2020 - 12/31/2024) precludes jurisdictions from charging impact fees on ADUs smaller than 750 square feet. ADUs 750 square feet or larger pay fees in proportion to the size of the primary residence. For example, if a proposed ADU is 800 square feet, and the primary residence is 2,400 square feet, impact fees will be 1/3 of the single family fee (800 / 2,400 = 33.3%).

The winter water use for a location will be estimated as the average of the meter readings provided by the Mid-Peninsula Water District for the December through March period from the second year prior to the year for which charges are calculated. If December through March readings are not available for that year, but are available for the December through March period from the year prior to the year for which the charges are calculated, then the later readings shall be used for the average.
If December through March readings are not available for a residential connection (as when a connection is established after the most recent December), then annual wastewater discharge will be estimated based on an estimated monthly winter water use of 8 hcf.
For non-residential connections, if December through March readings are not available, or, where in the determination of the Director of Finance, the type of business using the commercial connection has changed such that prior readings cannot accurately predict future wastewater discharge, annual wastewater discharge will be estimated by the Director of Finance based upon his or her best estimation based upon the type of use of the connection, but in no event shall the estimated flow in such case be less than half of the average estimated flow for all commercial connections in the City during the prior year.
Sewer charges will be billed on the San Mateo County tax rolls with a pass-through charge to the ratepayer of $1.42 per parcel to cover county fees related to collecting the sewer charges on the tax roll.
Sewer Connection Fees:

Agenda Title: Consider amendments to Belmont Zoning Ordinance (BZO) Section 2 (Definitions), Section 5B (Harbor Industrial Area), Section 8 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), and Section 8A (Off-Street Parking and Loading in the Corridor Mixed Use and Regional Commercial Districts) to include a “Research and Development Facilities” definition, parking ratio, and loading space requirements
Agenda Action: Ordinance – Second Reading
Recommendation
1) Conduct a Public Hearing; 2) Consider Planning Commission recommendations; and 3) Adopt an Ordinance (Second Reading) amending Belmont Zoning Ordinance (BZO) Section 2 (Definitions), Section 5B (Harbor Industrial Area), Section 8 (Off-Street Parking and Loading), and Section 8A (OffStreet Parking and Loading in the Corridor Mixed Use and Regional Commercial Districts) to include a “Research and Development Facilities” definition, minimum and maximum parking ratio, and loading space requirements.
Background
In the past two years, Belmont has received applications for three research and development projects, and additional applications are expected to be submitted for consideration in the near future. The Bay Area is among the top three markets for research and development in the United States; however, life sciences research and development is a growing sector of the industry. The life sciences industry focuses on biotechnology – the research and development focused on living things, such as plants, animals, and humans.
Research and development uses have operational and functional characteristics that set them apart from typical office, warehousing, and light industrial uses. Below is a summary of these distinct differences:
• Employee density. Research and development facilities typically consist of approximately 20-50% lab use, with the remaining area dedicated to employee seating (offices, cubicles, etc.) and common area (hallways, elevators, lobbies, etc.).
• Customer traffic. Research and development uses do not attract customers to the property as a typical office use, such as medical practices, financial institutions, real estate offices, insurance offices, and other professional services. These uses are more in line with the very low customer generation of a manufacturing or light industrial use.
Meeting Date: June 13, 2023
STAFF REPORT
583
• Parking demand. With fewer employees and customers than typical offices, research and development uses generate less traffic and require fewer off-street parking spaces than typical office uses. In contrast, these uses require more parking spaces than the typical manufacturing, distribution, or light industrial use.
Belmont’s zoning ordinance has been amended in the past to allow for research and development uses with an emphasis on high technology. In 2017, the City adopted the following definition for “Research and Development Laboratory”:
“Establishments with laboratory facilities as distinct for offices, that are primarily engaged in the research, development, and controlled production of high-technology electronic, industrial or scientific products or commodities for sale, but excludes uses that in the opinion of the Planning Commission, may be objectionable by reason of production of offensive odor, dust, noise, bright lights, vibration or the storage of hazardous material or products, or uses which in the opinion of the commission threaten public safety. Typical uses include biotechnology firms and robotics laboratories.” This current definition is directed more toward light industrial and manufacturing of electronic equipment; however, the research and development industry continues to shift from electronic technology to biotechnology. An amendment to this definition is proposed to capture a broader range of research and development facilities, including life sciences.
Additionally, the City’s zoning ordinance does not contain a parking ratio specific to research and development uses. Section 8.4.9 specifies that uses not listed in the schedule of parking requirements are to be assigned the requirements for the most similar listed use or as determined by the Zoning Administrator. In accordance with this section of code, staff currently applies the parking ratio for office uses, which has two ratios based on the underlying zoning designation of a property:
• Office uses in the Regional Commercial and Corridor Mixed Use zoning districts require three (3) spaces for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area; • Office uses in all other base zoning districts require one (1) space for every 250 square feet of net floor area; and
Planning Commission Review: At their May 2, 2023 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, considered the proposed zoning text amendments, and recommended Council adoption of the proposed amendments.
City Council Review: At their May 9, 2023 meeting, the City Council conducted a public meeting, considered the Planning Commission recommendations regarding the proposed zoning text amendments, and introduced the proposed amendments (First Reading of Ordinance).
Proposed Amendments
In preparation for an increase in life sciences research and development facilities in Belmont, the Community Development Director has initiated a text amendment to the Belmont Zoning Ordinance to amend the definition for Research and Development Laboratories and to create parking standards specific to research and development facilities to align with neighboring cities and industry standards. 584
City staff proposes the following amendments to the Belmont Zoning Ordinance:
1. Section 2, Definitions. Amend Section 2.100.1 (Research and Development Laboratory) use classification title and definition.
This amendment would change the title of the “Research and Development Laboratory” use classification to “Research and Development Facility”. It would also expand research and development uses to include life sciences research and development activities.
Currently, Research and Development Laboratories are defined as “establishments with laboratory facilities as distinct for offices, that are primarily engaged in the research, development, and controlled production of high-technology electronic, industrial or scientific products or commodities for sale, but excludes uses that in the opinion of the Planning Commission, may be objectionable by reason of production of offensive odor, dust, noise, bright lights, vibration or the storage of hazardous material or products, or uses which in the opinion of the commission threaten public safety. Typical uses include biotechnology firms and robotics laboratories”.
Staff recommends amending the current definition to the following:
“An office and laboratory facility for scientific research and the design, development, and testing of electrical, electronic, magnetic, optical, pharmaceutical, chemical, and/or biotechnology components and products in advance of product manufacturing. It may include assembly of related products from parts produced off site where the manufacturing activity is secondary to the research and development activities. A typical Research and Development facility has 20% to 50% of the floor area dedicated to the laboratory use.”
2. Section 5B, Harbor Industrial Area Zoning District. Amend Sections 5B.1.2(g) and 5B.2.2(e) use classification titles from “Research and Development Laboratory” to “Research and Development Facility”.
“Research and Development Laboratory” is identified as a permitted use in both Harbor Industrial Area zoning districts (HIA-1 and -2). This amendment reflects the proposed change to the title of the use classification.
3. Section 8, Off-street Parking and Loading. Amend Section 8.4.9 to insert parking and loading requirements specific to Research and Development Facilities and renumber subsequent subsections. Amend Section 8.5.2 to include loading requirements.
This amendment would add a new parking ratio that better aligns with the parking demand and industry standards for research and development facilities. Staff recommends a minimum of 1 space per 600 square feet of net floor area, a maximum of 1 space per 500 square feet of net floor area, and a number of loading spaces based on the square footage of the building.
4. Section 8A, Off-street Parking and Loading in Corridor Mixed Use and Regional Commercial Zoning Districts. Amend Table 8A.2-1 (Parking Standards) and Table 8A.5-1 (Loading Requirements) to include requirements specific to Research and Development Facilities. 585
This amendment would add a new parking ratio that better aligns with the parking demand and industry standards for research and development facilities. Staff recommends a minimum of 1 space per 600 square feet of gross floor area, a maximum of 1 space per 500 square feet of floor area, and a number of loading spaces based on the square footage of the building.
Discussion
While the “Office” use classification is the most similar use in the Belmont Zoning Ordinance to the function, operation, and impact of research and development facilities, the adopted parking and loading requirements for “Office” developments exceed the parking needs for research and development facilities.
As a result, applicants of new research and development facilities are presented with two options:
1) Construct more parking than is necessary to serve the development; or 2) Request a conditional use permit to provide less parking than required.
Both options conflict with the City’s planning policies, discussed later in this report, to provide a balanced and well-managed parking supply that accommodates demand while maximizing efficiency. Additionally, to obtain a conditional use permit for less parking than required by the City’s zoning ordinance, an applicant must prepare and implement a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program. This places an unnecessary burden on applicants for research and development uses that propose to provide a parking supply consistent with the needs of the proposal.
Supporting Research
Staff’s research indicates that applying the City’s existing office parking ratios results in the requirement to construct and maintain an excessive supply of off-street parking. Staff evaluated the definitions and parking requirements for multiple Bay Area jurisdictions and parking demand studies prepared for similar uses in the Bay Area. These jurisdictions include San Carlos, Redwood City, San Bruno, and Burlingame.
While these cities apply a variety of methods for calculating the required parking for research and development facilities, the regulations result in an average parking ratio of approximately 1 space per 500 to 600 square feet.
Staff also reviewed data generated by parking demand management professionals, such as parking demand studies and traffic demand management studies, for research and development facilities in neighboring cities. In our evaluation of this data, staff also considered the study case’s proximity to transit and TDM programs.
Justification
This proposal would establish an appropriate parking ratio that supports parking demand, maximizes efficient use of the property, and relieve property owners of the requirement to prepare and implement a TDM program for a development with a sufficient parking supply for the intended use.
The benefits of adopting a parking ratio to align parking requirements with parking demand extend beyond establishing an appropriate baseline for Research and Development Facilities and accommodating industry standards. These benefits implement the City’s planning policies related to environmental and smart growth principles.
586
The Belmont General Plan identifies a limited number of vacant and underutilized properties suitable for meeting the City’s housing and economic development needs. With vacant land increasingly in short supply in Belmont, and the ongoing need for increased economic development and housing development to serve the growing community, efficient use of land is a priority.
Aligning the City’s parking requirements with the parking demand for Research and Development Facilities will allow for more efficient use of land instead of requiring property owners to install more parking than necessary.
The General Plan also emphasizes the importance of improving energy efficiency in practice and in development. Developed areas often have warmer temperatures than undeveloped areas, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect, which contributes to increased energy consumption in urban areas.
Parking lots absorb heat throughout the day, so low impact development and reducing the area of surface parking lots can reduce the effects of heat islands.
Belmont Zoning Ordinance Amendment Initiation and Process Section 16 of the Belmont Zoning Code permits the City Council or the Community Development Director to initiate an amendment of any zoning regulation. In this case, the Community Development Director has initiated the proposed amendments for Research and Development Facilities.
General Plan Goal and Policy Support
Several General Plan goals and policies support the proposed zoning amendment, including:
Goal 2.6 Promote opportunities for continued economic growth and vitality, resulting in wider shopping and dining opportunities for residents, increase local employment opportunities, enhanced attractions for visitors, increased sales tax revenues, and a stronger community image.
Amending the City’s zoning ordinance to update the definition for Research and Development-related uses and align the City’s parking regulations with the parking and loading needs of these uses will provide clarity and remove regulatory limitations to growing this economic sector and promoting economic vitality.
Goal 2.8 Promote infill development that makes efficient use of limited land supply, while ensuring compatibility and integrations with existing uses.
The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would update the City’s parking standards so that infill development and redevelopment of property for research and development facilities makes efficient use of the City’s limited land supply. The proposed amendments are based on existing data pertaining to Research and Development Facilities to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses and minimize negative impacts on the City’s rights-of-way.
Action 2.8-1a Update development and parking standards and create incentives to facilitate infill development in Belmont.
587
The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would update the City’s parking standards to align with the parking demand associated with Research and Development Facilities to make efficient use of a limited supply of vacant land and properties suitable for infill or redevelopment.
Policy 2.22-1 Promote regional and visitor-serving commercial development and employment opportunities in the focus area East of US 101.
The majority of the vacant and underutilized land zoned for research and development facilities is located East of US 101. The proposal would remove regulatory limitations associated with the development of these properties for economic development and expanding employment opportunities in Belmont.
Policy 2.18-3 Establish and maintain a consistent database of long-range economic data factors and update trend forecasts on an ongoing basis, to enable city policies and strategies to be proactive and timed to market changes.
Based on current and expected applications in Belmont and nearby cities, it is evident that there is currently an increased demand for life science related tenant space. The proposed zoning ordinance amendments will allow the City to respond to and benefit from changing market conditions and economic drivers.
Policy 3.8-3 Ensure that the City's parking requirements result in an efficient supply of parking in appropriate locations.
The proposed zoning ordinance amendment would update the City’s parking standards so that development of property for research and development facilities makes efficient use of the City’s limited land supply. The proposed amendments are based on existing data pertaining to Research and Development Facilities to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses and minimize negative impacts on the City’s rights-of-way.
Policy 5.9-2 Encourage development projects of all sizes to incorporate site design measures that facilitate groundwater recharge and natural hydrological processes, allowing stormwater to infiltrate the ground onsite and/or be collected for reuse in landscaping and designated to on-site stormwater detention facilities.
While low impact development design measures, such as impervious surface and bioswales, help to facilitate ground water recharge, reducing unnecessary development and impervious surface area is also effective site design measure in allowing stormwater to infiltrate the ground on-site. Aligning the parking requirements with parking demand for research and development facilities results in less disturbed area and greater pervious surface to facilitate natural hydrological processes.
Environmental Review
Staff finds that the proposal qualifies for the “common sense exemption”. CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) provides that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
The Project is consistent with the 15061(b)(3) exemption for the following reasons:
588
• The amendment would not allow for the development of property; instead, the amendment would only have an impact on the environment as a result of the review and approval of a development application, which would be subject to CEQA.
• The amendment is consistent with the land use designations and development densities established by the General Plan and analyzed in the certified General Plan EIR.
With the above criteria and restrictions in mind, staff finds that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment due to the addition of this land use and is exempt from further environmental review per CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3).
General Plan/Zoning Plan Consistency – Based on the analysis herein, the proposed amendments achieve the objectives of the Zoning Plan and the General Plan for the City. These amendments would implement the Goals and Policies of the General Plan in a more consistent way, and would also result in a Zoning Ordinance that is: 1) More concise and efficient; 2) Responsive to practical Research & Development use regulations/considerations; and 3) More responsive to the needs of the community.
Next Actions
The following meetings and actions must occur before the amendments go into effect:
Airport Land Use Committee Review/Approval: The County Airport Land Use Committee and C/CAG (which serves as the Airport Land Use Commission) must review the proposal before final City Council approval. The review is required because the zoning text amendment would apply to property located within the San Carlos Airport Land Use Compatibility (ALUC) Plan “Area B”. The ALUC Plan requires review of any zoning code amendment in this area.
On March 23, 2023, the Airport Land Use Committee voted in support of a determination of compatibility.
