Belmont City Council Meeting Agenda December 9, 2025
1 To submit a written public comment:

E-mail [email protected] before the Council discusses the item, noting the agenda topic or number in the subject line. Comments received up to three hours before the meeting will be distributed to the Council and included in the record but not read aloud during the meeting..

The Mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the Public Comment period; If the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, during a public hearing or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter or if the speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting.

The Mayor also has the authority to order any person who willfully interrupts the meeting to be removed. All persons are expected to always conduct themselves with civility and courtesy. All persons giving comments shall speak directly to the Council and address issues, not individuals. Personal attacks, cursing and outbursts from the audience in support or opposition to a speaker are not tolerated to foster an environment where everyone feels welcome to speak.

LEVINE ACT:

The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) limits campaign contributions that may be made to elected or appointed City officials (including councilmembers and the mayor) and certain candidates for elective city offices. The Act prohibits an agent of a party from contributing any amount to councilmember while a proceeding for a contract valued at $50,000 or more, permit, license, or other entitlement for use is pending that does not solely involve purely ministerial decisions. The Act also prohibits parties and participants in the above entitlement proceedings from contributing more than $500 during the proceeding and for 12 months after the proceeding and requires disclosure of the prohibited contributions. The Act prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from taking part in an entitlement proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. The law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is responsible for administering the Levine Act. More information about the Act and its implementing regulations can be found on the FPPC’s website here:

ACCESSIBILITY

Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Laura Kirby, Human Resources Management Analyst, [email protected] Agenda Title: Revised Master Employee Pay Schedule – December 2025 Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution to amend the City’s Master Employee Pay Schedule to maintain ongoing compliance with California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requirements.

Strategic Focus Area
Fiscal and Organizational Sustainability
Background
Under CalPERS regulations and California Code of Regulations Section 570.5, the City is required to maintain a clear and comprehensive record of all established positions, including pay rates, effective dates, time base and revision history, and to present any updates to the City Council for approval whenever changes occur.

Analysis
The revisions reflected in the updated Master Employee Pay Schedule (Exhibit A) are limited to the following:
• Implementing the January 2026 wage increase for the Mid Management Confidential Employees Association (MMCEA), as approved by the City Council in the 2025–2028 Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement sets a minimum increase of 3 percent. If the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is higher than 3 percent, the City will make an additional adjustment up to a maximum of 5 percent.*
• Implementing the January 2026 wage increase for the Unrepresented and Confidential Group, as approved by the City Council in the group’s compensation and benefit plan effective January 1, 2025.

The agreement sets a minimum increase of 3 percent. If the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is higher than 3 percent, the City will make an additional adjustment up to a maximum of 5 percent.* • Implement adjustments to per diem positions with hourly rates aligned with MMCEA and Unrepresented Confidential positions.
*The CPI report for October 2024 through October 2025 was not published due to the federal government shutdown, the November 2025 release in December 2025 will be the basis for the final calculation. Once that figure is published, staff will confirm the final percentage and apply any required adjustments.

800 Laurel Ave Permanent Utility Encroachment - Staff Report.docx

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Elizabeth Wada, Public Works, (650) 595-7468, [email protected] Agenda Title: 800 Laurel Ave Permanent Encroachment – PG&E Utility Pole Agenda Action: Resolution
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving a Permanent Encroachment Agreement for the 800 Laurel Avenue townhome development project to allow for the relocation of an existing utility pole from the intersection of Laurel Avenue and Hill Street to the public right-of-way in front of Garden Hills Apartments at 941 Hill Street.

Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
On November 23, 2021, the City Council approved a 16-unit townhome development at 800 Laurel Avenue (APNs 045-152-350, 045-152-600, 045-152-610, 045-152-620, 045-152-630, 045-152-640, 045- 152-650, 045-152-660 & 045-152-120). In July 2023, the developer submitted the final map and building permit applications for the project, which are currently under review.

To comply with PG&E's Rule 20C underground requirements for onsite overhead utilities, an existing utility pole located at the intersection of Laurel Avenue and Hill Street must be relocated. The relocated pole will function as a riser, providing the primary line connection between the new underground utility system and the existing distribution network. This configuration ensures continued power service to the project site and surrounding properties, consistent with PG&E standards and the City's undergrounding program. In addition, pursuant to the City’s Subdivision Ordinance No. 530, Section 6.9(M), the applicant is required to underground dry utilities and make all necessary arrangements with the respective utility providers for installation of these facilities.

The proposed relocated pole location is within the public right-of-way in front of Hill Garden Apartments at 941 Hill Street, as shown on Exhibit A. Because the pole will permanently encroach into the public right-of-way, the developer submitted a Permanent Encroachment Application on November 20, 2025.

The approved entitlement plans include a condition that improvements within the public right-of-way require City Council approval through a Permanent Encroachment Agreement.

Analysis
The Major Encroachment Permit (via an Agreement) is required under Belmont City Code (BCC) section 22-6, which regulates encroachments into the public right-of-way. This section gives the City Council the 22

800 Laurel Ave Permanent Utility Encroachment - Staff Report.docx sole authority to issue permits for “major or unusual encroachments,” including above-ground structures such as retaining walls, fences, poles, and awnings. This class of encroachment is commonly referred to as a “permanent encroachment.” However, the City retains the right to revoke the permit and require removal if the structure is not being used or if it interferes with planned public improvements. Section 22- 6(b) requires the Director of Public Works to review all Permanent Encroachment applications. If the Director finds the application is in compliance with the BCC, the Director will recommend approval with any conditions necessary to protect the health and safety of the public and the City.

The developer of 800 Laurel Avenue has submitted a Permanent Encroachment application to relocate an existing utility pole from the intersection of Laurel Avenue and Hill Street to the frontage of 941 Hill Street, as shown in Exhibit A. Staff and the Public Works Director have reviewed the application and confirmed that it complies with City Code requirements. Under the Municipal Code the City Council may approve or conditionally approve the Agreement only if it determines that the encroachment provides a public benefit. BCC Section 22-6(e)(1) outlines examples of qualifying public benefits, including added off-street parking, improved sidewalk or sight distance, reduced grading, or the replacement or improvement of an existing undesirable physical condition.

The proposed utility pole within the right-of-way provides a clear public benefit. It will energize the project, remove existing overhead wiring, improve aesthetics, reduce potential hazards, and strengthen service reliability. These improvements are consistent with the City of Belmont’s Utilities Undergrounding Program, which focuses on eliminating overhead utilities to improve public safety and the community’s visual character. The new pole maintains the existing alignment and does not affect driveway access for Hill Garden Apartments. In accordance with BCC Section 22-6(d), notices were sent to all affected properties within 300 feet of the project location, advising that the City Council would be considering this request.

EV Charger Installation Agreement - Staff Report

STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: December 9, 2025
Agency: City of Belmont
Staff Contact: Karen Clark, Management Analyst, [email protected]; Kathy Kleinbaum, Assistant City Manager, [email protected]; Brigitte Shearer, Parks and Recreation Director, [email protected]
Agenda Title: Authorize a Contract with InCharge Energy, Inc. for Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Electric Vehicle Chargers at Three City Sites Agenda Action: Motion
Recommendation
Motion to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with InCharge Energy, Inc. for the design, construction, and maintenance of electric vehicle chargers at three City sites in the amount of $301,367.33 and to authorize a 15 percent construction contingency in the amount of $45,000.

Strategic Focus Area
Infrastructure and Mobility
Background
The City is committed to advancing sustainability initiatives and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with local, regional, and state climate action goals. As part of this commitment, through the annual strategic planning workshop, the City has identified a priority to fund electric vehicle (EV) charging at municipal facilities.

Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), a local community choice energy provider, offers funding opportunities for clean energy projects. In December 2023, the PCE Board of Directors authorized a one-time allocation of surplus funds to member agencies through its Member Agency Energy Grants Program. Belmont's allocation of $379,799 was based on its year-end 2023 load share/customer count. PCE also offers free technical support and incentives for the installation of EV charging infrastructure through its EV Ready Program incentives.

To secure its full share of the Member Agency Energy Grant funds, the City submitted a proposal to PCE for the installation of EV chargers at three City sites for a combination of public and municipal fleet use.

This infrastructure will help encourage the use of electric vehicles in our community and support the City's long-term climate and sustainability goals, including the transition to a lower emissions fleet. All charger placements were identified in collaboration with PCE’s EV Ready Technical Assistance Program, which helped evaluate electrical capacity and ADA accessibility at various City sites.

In July 2025, the Belmont City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a grant agreement with PCE for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of electric vehicle chargers at 27

EV Charger Installation Agreement - Staff Report
municipal facilities. The selected project locations, charger installations, and intended uses are as follows. • City Hall Complex – Police Lot: Two Level 2 charging ports and two make-ready ports, designated for municipal fleet use
• City Hall Complex – Manor House: Four Level 2 charging ports and two make-ready ports, available for public use
• Belmont Sports Complex: Four Level 2 charging ports and six make-ready ports, available for public use.
• Corporation Yard: Two solar-powered Level 2 charging ports, designated for municipal use

In addition to Member Agency Energy Grant funds, the City received confirmation from PCE that upon installation of the EV chargers at all sites, it will receive an additional $80,000 in funding through the EV Ready Program.

Analysis
On March 1, 2023, the City issued an Invitation for Sealed Bids for the installation of electric vehicle chargers at two City Hall sites. No bids were received by the April 5, 2023, deadline. Under California Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 22038, when no bids are received after a formal solicitation, an agency operating under the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act may proceed with the work by negotiated contract or by using its own forces. This provision allows the City to move forward without reissuing a new bid package, so long as the negotiated process ensures fair pricing and remains consistent with the intent of competitive procurement.

Given the importance of expanding EV charging infrastructure to support Belmont’s sustainability goals, staff exercised this authority and initiated a negotiated procurement process. PCC Section 22038(c) expressly permits the City to solicit proposals and negotiate a best-value contracts in situations where formal bidding yields no responses. Following this statutory pathway, staff prepared updated technical specifications and issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in September 2025 for the design, construction, and maintenance of EV chargers at the two City Hall locations and the Belmont Sports Complex. Although included in the Member Agency Energy Grant proposal, the issued RFP did not include chargers for the Corporation Yard. Solar-powered charging units for that site will be procured separately after completion of the electrically powered chargers at City Hall and the Sports Complex, subject to funding availability.

In response to the RFP, the City received three proposals. These were submitted by InCharge Energy, Ethos Electric, and Trico Construction in the respective amounts of $282,343.64, $501,998.60, and $612,056.00. Each proposal was evaluated in accordance with the best-value criteria established in the RFP, including technical approach, system reliability, installation plan, service capabilities, price, and long-term operating value. Following this evaluation, staff identified InCharge Energy as offering the best overall value and initiated scope refinement and price negotiations.

During negotiations, staff and InCharge agreed to several scope adjustments, including the substitution of ChargePoint branded chargers in place of Autel equipment. Following these refinements, the negotiated contract amount is $301,367.33. InCharge’s revised proposal is included as Attachment A. 28

EV Charger Installation Agreement - Staff Report
All chargers included in the project will be dual-port units offering cable management and load balancing to optimize system performance as additional make-ready ports are activated in the future. Because the City intends to recover electricity costs through user fees, the charging equipment will incorporate pointof-sale capabilities and integrated revenue remittance. The charging system will also include cloud-based management software for monitoring, billing, reporting, and performance analytics.

Before installation begins, the Contractor will complete an onsite validation of design plans, including electrical capacity, transformer and panel conditions, breaker configurations, conduit and wiring pathways, and cellular connectivity. Installation will comply with all published equipment requirements and applicable building and electrical codes. The negotiated contract includes a five-year warranty and maintenance period beginning upon commissioning of the chargers.

With the recommended actions, the current project budget is as follows.

REVENUE
PCE Member Agency Energy Grant $379,999
PCE EV Ready Incentives $70,000
General Facilities Fund 308 $64,000
Subtotal - Revenue $513,999

EXPENSES
Project and Construction Management (Sean Rose Engineering) $50,640 Construction (InCharge Energy, Inc.) $301,367
Construction Contingency (15%) $45,000
Subtotal - Expenses $397,007
After the project is complete, staff will evaluate whether the remaining budget is adequate to procure and install the additional solar-powered chargers at the Corporation Yard. If sufficient funding are available, the City would qualify for additional PCE EV Ready incentives, valued at $5,000 per port, which would further offset implementation costs.

If the Council approves the recommended action, staff plans to execute the contract with InCharge in December 2025. Project initiation is scheduled to begin early in 2026. Staff anticipates completing design validation/permitting by early spring 2026 and completing construction by summer 2026.

This project is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities), which allows for minor alterations to existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use.

With an InCharge partnership, the City of Belmont will get free access to the support of the InCharge Government and Public Affairs team. This team will be responsible for tracking local, state, and federal grants and incentives. The InCharge team will then bring them forward prior to or promptly to the City upon release of the funding opportunity. Our team meticulously monitors funding updates, release of new opportunities, and will support the City of Belmont throughout the entire application process to ensure you are positioned to capitalize on incentives.

InCharge Energy’s GOPA team helps customers:
• Capture a higher amount for grants & incentives across the US • Prioritize upcoming incentives for new site & market expansion • Track funding opportunities (including utility make-ready rebates) • Track relevant legislation/tax credits to lower project costs • Complete grant, incentive, and rebate applications
• Low Carbon Fuel Standard tracking and administration
InCharge has a success rate of nearly 80% with our grant applications for customers. For example, we have supported the following customers to identify and secure grant and incentive funding:
• Moreno Valley School District : Secured $1.7 million in grants and incentives from five different sources including state, federal and local utility. We leveraged diverse government funding from the EPA Airshed Program, SCAQMD Carl Moyer Program, CEC EnergIIZE Fast Track, and SCE Charge Ready Transport. We were able to stack funds across federal, state, local and utility funds to reduce the upfront project cost. We also supported another $4.5 million in grant vehicle funding • Twin Rivers Unified School District : InCharge supported Twin Rivers School District to secure $7,440,788 from CARB’s California Capital Pilot Project: Showcasing ZeroEmission Mobility in Schools. Throughout the entire process, InCharge worked closely 52 Proposed Scope of Services
23 with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to identify the electrical needs and connect the charging infrastructure to the grid. In addition to this funding, InCharge supported the district to secure additional Sacramento Metropolitan Air Coast Quality Management (SMAQMD) funds to offset vehicle costs. SMAQMD supported the funding of up to 18 private access only EVSEs to be used by heavy-duty TRUSD vehicles.

Our team has completed an initial review of funding opportunities that would be available to projects within Belmont’s 94002 zip code. We have identified that the two open and relevant funding opportunities would be through Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) programs. Since this project is already being funded by PCE’s EV Ready Program, and fleet projects are typically eligible for funding through either the Public GovEV Program or the EV Ready Program (but not both), we are confident the City is currently maximizing available incentives.

That said, InCharge Energy continuously monitors all active funding opportunities across California, and additional programs may become available. If awarded, our team will compile an up-to-date list of applicable grants, rebates, and incentives based on the project’s specific locations. We will gather additional details regarding use cases, sites, and utility partnerships, then provide the City with a curated breakdown of available opportunities and support the next steps in securing eligible funding. For the City of Belmont in particular, we would look to BAAQMD, CEC, and PG&E for additional funding opportunities.

Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS)
InCharge Charging as a Service (CaaS) is an EV charging subscription offering that provides commercial fleets with the infrastructure they need, coupled with a desired uptime standard, and paid for on a monthly or variable basis.

Recommended revisions or additions to the list of tasks After a thorough review, we believe the scope of work is straightforward and anticipate a smooth deployment if awarded. However, we want to bring one item to the City’s attention. The available kVA at the Sportsplex will support the chargers identified in this scope, but a utility upgrade may be required to sufficiently future-proof the site for additional chargers. At this time, there is limited physical space in the panel for a 400A frame breaker, and recent utility bills are needed to confirm the site’s current peak load and demand to determine whether an upgrade is necessary.

Based on this review and to align with the City’s budget, our design includes a 200A panel sized appropriately for the chargers specified in the RFP.

Choose one of the following ways to install your station and activate Assure:

1. Complete station installation with an authorized installer that is certified and/or authorized by either ChargePoint or a ChargePoint hardware supplier (note: ChargePoint installation certification is obtained via ChargePoint University).

2. Complete station installation by purchasing Installation from ChargePoint.

ChargePoint DC stations must be commissioned by a ChargePoint Authorized Commissioning Partner.

Strategic Focus Area
Economic Development and Housing
Background
The General Plan and Belmont Village Specific Plan were adopted in 2017 and since that time, there has been an increase in development activity in the City. Processing the development applications has provided the opportunity for staff to evaluate land use policies to see how they are working and assess if any changes are necessary. Additionally, State laws related to housing have been updated repeatedly in recent years, leading to changes to City policies to ensure consistency.

In January 2024, the Planning Commission and City Council considered amendments to the Belmont Zoning Ordinance to implement aspects of the Housing Element and State law. At that time, an increase to the height limit was proposed in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) District. At their January 16, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and considered the proposed amendments.

On January 23, 2024, the City Council considered the proposed increase in height in the CMU District along with the other proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance related to the Housing Element. The City Council directed staff to further analyze the height and objective standards in the CMU District to ensure the development standards align with the City’s vision for the El Camino Real corridor while balancing other priorities. In addition to the proposed height increase for the CMU District, staff had identified additional areas of the Zoning Ordinance that would benefit from analysis and potential amendments 88

Zoning Text Amendments – CMU District, Parking and Housing Element Implementation to streamline processing and consolidating parking standards.

Staff retained the services of Lisa Wise Consulting (LWC), a firm that specializes in zoning code amendments and architectural modeling, to assist in the revisions to the CMU development standards and parking section of the Zoning Ordinance. On July 23, 2024, the Council considered a series of potential Zoning Ordinance text revisions. The Council concurred with the recommendations of staff and directed staff to proceed with the proposed amendments.

A community meeting to discuss the proposed revisions to the CMU Zoning District was held online via Zoom on October 24, 2024. Notice of that meeting was sent to all property owners within 300’ of the CMU District. Approximately five (5) members of the community attended the meeting and asked a few questions; members of the public did not provide any specific feedback or request revisions to the proposal.

At their September 16, 2025 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, considered the proposed BZO text amendments, received public comment, and recommended Council adoption of the proposed amendments with a series of recommendations as noted below. Notice of that meeting was sent to all property owners within 300’ of the CMU District. The November 25, 2025 City Council staff report includes a detailed description of the Commission’s recommendations.

Analysis/Discussion
The proposed zoning text amendments can be found in Attachment A, Belmont Zoning Text Amendments (ZTA) Ordinance. On November 25, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing, considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation, considered an alternative option from staff, and voted 5-0 to introduce the ordinance. Notice of that meeting was sent to all property owners within 300’ of the CMU District.

General Plan Goal and Policy Support
The General Plan identified goals, policies and programs that are supported by the proposed zoning text amendments, as follows:

Policy 2.1-1 Maintain consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map.

GOAL H4: Removal of constraints on the production of housing.

Basis of Support: Textual updates proposed in this series of BZO updates, allows specific housing (and other)-related definitions and associated development regulations and procedural processes to be updated in order both support and comply with the adopted Housing Element and its implementation plan, the Belmont Village Specific Plan, as well as comply with State Law.

GOAL 2.6 Promote opportunities for continued economic growth and vitality, resulting in wider shopping and dining opportunities for residents, increased local employment opportunities, enhanced attractions for visitors, increased sales tax revenues, and a stronger community image.

Policy 2.17-2 Support efforts to increase the tax base in Belmont and maintain fiscal sustainability.

Policy 2.20-1 Support the development, redevelopment, and enhancement of private properties along El Camino Real.

Basis of Support: Amending the City’s zoning ordinance to update some of the regulations for land uses in the City’s CMU District, located on El Camino Real which is a major regional commercial and transit corridor in the City, including a more specific series of development regulations pertaining to hotels in this District, will provide clarity and remove regulatory limitations to 89

Zoning Text Amendments – CMU District, Parking and Housing Element Implementation identified, permissible land uses seen with related economic sectors, which may promote economic vitality and expand employment opportunities. Clarifying and consolidating the parking regulations City-wide, will allow standards to align throughout the City, for more efficient implementation of these regulations for future residential, commercial and industrial development; all of which could contribute to a positive tax base increase for the City.

Environmental Review
The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance qualify for the “common sense exemption” in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) provides that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common-sense 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:
• The amendments are consistent with the land use designations and development densities established in the General Plan and analyzed in the certified General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
• The amendments proposed would not allow for the direct development of properties; instead, each future development application would be subject to the appropriate level of CEQA review at the time of application.
• The amendments to implement the Housing Element are within the scope of the Housing Element Program EIR certified on January 30, 2023.

Based on the above criteria, the project would not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment due to the nature and extent of these proposed zoning text revisions and is exempt from further environmental review per CEQA Guideline 15061(b)(3).

8.2.1 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

8.2.1.1 No Reduction in Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces Off-street parking and loading spaces established as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section may not be reduced in number during the life of the building or land use below that which would be required for a new building or use of a similar type under the requirements of this section.

Off-street parking and loading spaces must remain permanently available and accessible for the parking or loading of vehicles by occupants of the property, except that any surplus spaces 113

may be rented out to non-occupants, or otherwise made publicly accessible with the provision that such spaces must be vacated on 30 days notice if they become needed by occupants of the property.

8.2.1.2 Separate Parking and Loading Spaces. No area may be utilized and counted both as a required parking space and a required loading space. However, maneuvering aisles and driveways may serve both required parking spaces and loading spaces if they meet the requirements specified in this Section for both parking and loading facilities.

8.2.1.3 Parking for Persons with Disabilities. The number, design, designation, and location of parking spaces for Persons with Disabilities must comply with State law. Such spaces will be counted towards the parking requirements of this Section.

8.2.1.4 Nonconforming Parking Facilities. Existing land uses with off-street parking and loading facilities that do not conform to the requirements of this section may be enlarged or expanded, provided that an in-lieu parking fee is paid, if established, or additional parking and loading facilities are added, either on-site or off-site, so that the parking needs for the enlarged or expanded portion of the building are met. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted by the Planning Commission for small sites and projects determined by the Commission to provide community benefits.

8.2.1.5 Unbundled Parking. The following rules will apply as conditions of approval to the rental of parking spaces in new Multi-Unit Residential buildings with ten or more rental units. The Community Development Director may grant an exception from the requirements of this subsection for affordable rental units that include financing for affordable housing that requires that costs for parking and housing be bundled together. (a) All off-street parking spaces that are beyond a base allowance of one per unit must be rented separately from the rental fees for dwelling units for the life of the dwelling units, such that potential renters have the option of renting a residential unit with only one parking space at a price lower than would be the case if there were a single price for both the residential unit and all of the parking space(s).
(b) In cases where there are fewer parking spaces than dwelling units, the parking spaces shall be offered first to the potential renters of three bedroom or more units, second to potential renters of two bedroom units, and then to potential renters of other units. (c) Potential renters of affordable units must have an equal opportunity to rent a parking space on the same terms and conditions as offered to potential renters of market-rate units, at a price proportional to the rent of their units as compared to comparable marketrate units. This requirement must be included in any agreement recorded between the City and developer pertaining to the affordable housing units under Section 29 (Affordable Housing).
(d) Parking spaces must be offered only to residents of the dwelling units served by the offstreet parking, except that any surplus spaces may be rented out to non-residents, or otherwise made available for public use, with the provision that such spaces must be vacated on 30 days’ notice if they are needed by residents. Required visitor spaces shall not be rented out, but may be made available for public use.

8.2.1.6 Garages/Carports/Uncovered Residential Parking. For residential uses, required offstreet parking located in the front half of a lot or within 25 feet of the side street on a corner lot must be covered with carport, garage or roofed structure except as allowed below. 114

Uncovered off-street parking may be located in the rear half of the lot when more than 25 feet from a side street.

8.2.1.7 Surface Parking Lots. Surface parking lots are subject to the following restrictions and standards. The area of a surface parking lot must include all features within the lot’s outer edges, including all parking spaces, maneuvering aisles, access driveways, and perimeter and interior landscaping, walkways, and other features.
(a) Large Parking Lots. If on-site parking for more than 50 spaces is needed, the parking facilities must be designed to have exceptional landscaping or design features, be located such that it is not highly visible from public rights-of-way, be provided within buildings or parking structures or in separate lots that are each less than two acres in size, or be otherwise covered by a structure that serves a non-parking function, such as solar panels, recreational facilities, roof deck, or green roof.
(b) Pedestrian Circulation. Parking lots containing 25 or more spaces must have walkways separated from motor vehicle maneuvering aisles and driveways connecting the principal building or buildings served by the lot to the farthest point of the lot from the main pedestrian entrance of such building or buildings.
(1) Materials and Width. Walkways must provide at least four feet of unobstructed width and be hard-surfaced.
(2) Identification. Pedestrian walkways must be clearly differentiated from driveways, parking aisles, and parking and loading spaces through the use of elevation changes, curb separation, different paving material, or similar method. (3) Separation. Where a pedestrian walkway is parallel and adjacent to an auto travel lane, it must be raised and separated from the travel lane by a raised curb at least six inches high, bollards, or other physical barrier.

8.2.2 CALCULATION OF REQUIRED SPACES

8.2.2.1 Fractions. When calculating required parking or loading spaces, fractions of a space greater than 0.5 are rounded up to the next highest whole number.

8.2.2.2 Multiple Uses. When two or more principal uses are located on the same lot, the estimated peak period parking demand shall be the sum of the estimated demand of the various individual uses during the period of peak combined demand for all uses, as determined through a parking study prepared by a qualified individual or firm.

8.2.2.3 Area-Based Estimates. All area-based estimated peak period parking demands shall be computed on the basis of gross floor area, excluding parking and loading areas.

8.2.2.4 Exclusion of First 2,500 Square Feet. For all nonresidential uses , the first 2,500 square feet of active uses, as defined in Section 2.4.1 Active Use, shall be subtracted from the gross square footage of the use when calculating the estimated parking demand.

8.2.2.5 Motorcycle Parking. Every four motorcycle parking spaces are credited as one automobile parking space, not to exceed five percent of the total number of automobile parking spaces required. Motorcycle parking spaces must be no less than four feet wide by eight feet long with an aisle width of no less than 10 feet and clearly marked. 115

8.2.2.6 Minimum Parking Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this Section and Government Code Section 65863.2, no less than the minimum number of parking spaces in Table 8.2-1 and Table 8.2-2 must be provided for each use or site.

8.2.2.7 Maximum Private Parking Requirements. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no more than the maximum number of private, off-street parking spaces, as specified in Table

8.2-1 and Table 8-2.2, may be provided for each use or site.

8.2.3 DESIGN STANDARDS. The parking area design standards of this section apply to all offstreet parking. All required parking spaces and associated maneuvering aisles, driveways, and other related features must be designed and arranged so as to provide motor vehicles with adequate ingress to and egress from all required parking spaces, and to provide pedestrians with adequate access to parked vehicles.

8.2.3.1 Parking Layout and Dimensions. The layout and dimensions of off-street parking facilities must conform to Figure 8.2.3-1 and Table 8.2.3-1, as further provided below. (a) Regulatory and Calculated Dimensions. Stall width, stall length, and aisle width, as shown in Table 8.2.3-1, are regulatory. Other dimensions shown in Table 8.2.3-1 are calculated from these required dimensions and are provided for convenience. (b) Stall Width and Length. As indicated in Table 8.2.3-1, the required minimum stall width and length for various parking angles are as set forth below. (1) Width. For parking angles of more than 30 degrees the minimum stall width is eight feet six inches. For parking angles of 30 degrees or less, the required minimum stall width is eight feet.
(2) Length. For all parking angles other than parallel parking, the minimum stall length is 18 feet. For parallel parking, the minimum stall length is 20 feet. (c) Aisle Width for Parking Angles Not Shown. For parking angles not shown in Table

8.2.3-1, the required aisle width is interpolated from the values in the table. For example, for a parking angle of 70 degrees, which is two-thirds of the increment between 60 degrees and 75 degrees, the required one-way aisle width is 18 feet eight inches, which is two-thirds of the increment between the required aisle widths for 60-degree parking and 75-degree parking, 16 feet and 20 feet respectively. (d) Alternate Maneuvering Aisle and Parking Space Widths. For parking angles equal to or greater than 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees, one-way aisle width may be decreased by three inches for each one-inch increase in stall width, up to a maximum stall width of nine feet two inches. For 90-degree parking, one-way and two-way aisle width may be decreased by three inches for each one-inch increase in stall width, up to a maximum stall width of nine feet two inches and a minimum aisle width of twenty-two feet.
(e) Two-Way Modules. Table 8.2.3-1 provides the dimensions for parking modules with one-way traffic. For parking modules with two-way traffic, add the difference in width between a two-way aisle and a one-way aisle. For example, for a two-way module with a parking angle of 45-degrees, add eight feet, which is the difference between a two-way aisle (20 feet) and a one-way aisle (12 feet).
116

(f) Overhang. Parking stall lengths, except for parallel spaces, may be reduced by two feet where the parking stall is designed to abut a landscaped area a minimum of five feet wide, such that the front of the vehicle can overhang the landscaped area. (g) Spaces Abutting Walls or Posts. For each side of a parking space abutting a wall or post, an additional foot of width shall be required.

(2) Reasonable notice provisions so that replacement spaces can be secured if use of the off-site parking facility is terminated.

8.3 PARKING EXCEPTIONS, REDUCTIONS AND ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE.

The number of required on-site motor vehicle parking spaces may be modified in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection through the modification to development standards review process.

8.3.1 PARKING ANALYSIS. In order to evaluate a proposed project’s compliance with any the criteria within Section 8.3, the Community Development Director may require submittal of a parking analysis prepared by an independent traffic engineering professional approved by the City that substantiates the basis for granting any exception, reduction, and/or alternative compliance.

8.3.2 PARKING SPACES BELOW THE MINIMUM. To provide less than the minimum number of private parking spaces allowed by Table 8.2-1 or Table 8.2-2, the Community Development Director may approve the reduction, subject to the following criteria:
(a) The subject property is not zoned R-1;
(b) That adequate measures will be put in place through a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director to reduce parking demand, such as promoting use of public transit, bicycling, and walking, and allowing modified working hours and telecommuting; and (c) The use will adequately be served by the proposed parking; and, (d) The use proposed is compatible with the surrounding area and would enhance development in the vicinity.

8.3.3 REDUCTION FOR SHARED PARKING. Where a shared parking facility serving more than one use will be provided, the total number of required parking spaces may be reduced by the Community Development Director, subject to the following criteria:
(a) The peak hours of use will not overlap or coincide to the degree that peak demand for parking spaces from all uses will be greater than the total supply of spaces; (b) The adequacy of the quantity and efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level that can be expected if parking for each use were provided separately; 125

(c) In the case of a shared parking facility that serves more than one property, a parking agreement has been prepared consistent with the provisions for Off-site Parking Facilities.
(d) The use will adequately be served by the proposed parking; and, (e) The Community Development Director finds that the use proposed is compatible with the surrounding area and would enhance development in the vicinity.

8.3.4 PARKING SPACES ABOVE THE MAXIMUM. To provide more than the maximum number of private parking spaces allowed by Table 8.2-1 or Table 8.2-2, the Community Development Director may approve the increase in parking spaces above the maximum, subject to the following criteria:
(a) For Excess Parking not Intended to be Shared. That the applicant has demonstrated that the additional parking is required to meet the anticipated parking demand of the proposed uses and that the additional parking will not adversely affect transit, bicycle, or pedestrian access to the site or other adjacent uses.
(b) For Excess Parking to be Shared. That all such excess spaces are designed and operated to be shared and publicly accessible parking spaces available for public use at any time.

Property owners may charge an hourly, daily, or monthly fee for use of any such public access parking provided in excess of the maximum off-street parking limits of this subsection.

8.3.5 ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE.
(a) Alternative Parking and Loading Plan. Where an applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director that variations in the standards or dimensions otherwise required by this section are warranted for uses with unique needs, an alternative parking area design and loading plan may be allowed. To grant such exception the Community Development Director may approve the alternative parking and loading plan, subject to the following criteria:
(1) That the applicant has demonstrated that the alternative plan is a superior solution and the requested modifications in the design standards are warranted; and (2) That the alternative parking arrangement will be in place at all times during operation of the principal uses to be served by the parking.
(b) Valet Parking Permit. The Community Development Director can establish an administrative process to consider a Valet Parking permit. Valet Parking Permits may be issued as a means of satisfying all or a portion of the off-street parking requirement. Valet parking may be used to accommodate more parking spaces on the site of the principal use served by the parking than could be accommodated in conformance with the design standards of this section. It may also be used to provide off-site parking. The Community Development Director may issue a Valet Permit upon finding that the valet parking shall not cause interference with the public use of rights-of-way or imperil public safety.

8.4 BICYCLE PARKING

8.4.1 MINIMUM. Two short-term (Class 2) bicycle parking spaces are required per site plus the following:
126

(a) Multi-family Residential Uses. 1 additional Class 1 space per 20 units. (b) Retail and Service Uses.

Any bicycle parking in the right-of-way must be located in the curb zone; a minimum of four feet width of clear sidewalk or 10 feet width of public alley must remain unobstructed for pedestrian or vehicle uses.

8.4.4 STANDARDS FOR ALL BICYCLE PARKING.
(a) Class 1 Long-Term Bicycle Parking Spaces. Class 1 spaces must be located with direct access for bicycles without requiring use of stairs. The location of such spaces must allow bicycles users to ride to the entrance of the space or the entrance of the lobby leading to the space. The design must provide safe and convenient access to and from bicycle parking facilities. Use of elevators to access Class 1 spaces must be minimized. In residential buildings, Class 1 space may not be provided within dwelling units, on balconies, or in required outdoor living area. Class 1 bicycle parking must be located:
(1) On the ground floor within 100 feet of a major entrance to the lobby. There must be either:
(A) Convenient access to and from the street to the bicycle parking space and another entrance from the bicycle parking space to the lobby area, or (B) A minimum five foot wide hallway or lobby space that leads to the bicycle parking entrance, where direct access to bicycle parking space from the street does not exist. Such access route may include up to two limited constriction points, such as doorways, provided that these constrictions are no narrower than three feet wide and extend for no more than one foot of distance. 127

(2) In a structured parking facility, on the first level of automobile parking either above or below grade, near elevators or other pedestrian entrances to the facility. (b) Class 2 Short-Term Bicycle Parking Spaces. Class 2 spaces must be located, as feasible, near all main pedestrian entries to the use to which they are accessory. Class 2 bicycle parking may be on a sidewalk or in place of an on-street auto parking space, within 100 feet of a main entry to the building. If existing Class 2 bicycle parking in the required quantities already exists in a public right-of-way immediately fronting a project site, and such spaces are not satisfying bicycle parking requirements for another use, such parking shall be deemed to meet the Class 2 requirement for that project. (c) Design and Installation.
(1) A bicycle parking space must be in a paved, level, drained, lighted area with access to a right-of-way without the use of stairs, and must consist of either:
(A) One side of a securely fixed rack element that supports the bicycle upright by its frame, prevents the bicycle from tipping over, and allows the frame and at least one wheel to be locked to the rack element with one lock; (B) For Class 1 long-term parking only, a bicycle locker constructed of theftresistant material with a lockable door that opens to the full width and height of the locker. Bicycle lockers must be weather-proof if exposed to the elements; or (C) For Class 1 long-term bicycle parking only, wall-mounted racks or wall- or ceiling-mounted hooks so that bicycles may be hung vertically. (2) Each bicycle parking space must be no less than 15 inches wide, by six feet deep, with an overhead clearance of no less than seven feet. This can be satisfied by placing racks, each of which supports two bicycles, 30 inches apart. (3) Each row of bicycle parking spaces must be served by an aisle no less than four feet wide. Rack elements must be placed two feet from walls, fences or curbs. (4) Required bicycle parking may not be tandem; parking or removing a bicycle may not require moving another parked bicycle.
(5) Bicycle rack elements must be fixed, securely anchored to the ground or to a structure by means that resist tampering or removal. Bicycle locker edges must be secured with no exposed fittings or connectors. The Director may specify preferred installation methods, such as, but not limited to, embedded mounting in poured-inplace concrete, recessed bolt heads or grouted-in anchoring. (d) Location.
(1) Direct access from the bicycle parking to the public right-of-way must be provided by means of access ramps, if necessary, and pedestrian access from the bicycle parking area to the building entrance shall also be provided.

13.6.1 BUILDING DESIGN
(a) Buildings shall carry the same design theme on all elevations. For the purposes of this design standard, a theme includes primary (non-accent) materials and colors. Except in cases when the entire building is remodeled, building renovations and additions shall be consistent with the original structure in form, style, materials, and colors. (b) Affordable units and market rate units in the same development shall be constructed of the same or similar exterior materials and details such that the units are not distinguishable.
(c) Buildings of three stories or greater must provide a ground floor elevation that is distinctive from the upper stories by providing a material change between the first floor and upper floors along at least 75% of the building façade with frontage upon a street, adjacent public park or public open space.
(d) Buildings of two stories or greater must include one or more articulating features (offsets, recesses, or projections) above the ground floor of the building for at least 50% of the primary frontage and corner street side frontage, and, for multifamily buildings in an R district, any elevation visible from a public right-of-way, public park or public open space. The distance between features shall be no greater than 25 feet. When used, the minimum length and depth of these features shall be as follows:
(1) Projection, offset, or recess of the building wall must be at least one foot in depth and five feet in width.
