For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community/development/housingelement/index.shtml#element for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD is committed to assisting Cloverdale in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Fidel Herrera, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

City of Cloverdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 1 March 9, 2023

APPENDIX

CITY OF CLOVERDALE
The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the supporting section of the Government Code.

Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-elementmemos.shtml. Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/buildingblocks/index.shtml and includes the Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.

A. Review and Revision
Review the previous element to evaluate the appropriateness, effectiveness, and progress in implementation, and reflect the results of this review in the revised element. (Gov. Code, § 65588 (a) and (b).)
As part of the evaluation of programs in the past cycle (pages 32-44), the element must provide an explanation of the effectiveness of goals, policies, and related actions in meeting the housing needs of special needs populations (e.g., elderly, persons with disabilities, large households, female-headed households, farmworkers, and persons experiencing homelessness). Programs should be revised as appropriate to reflect the results of this evaluation.

B. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).)
Disparities in Access to Opportunity: The element does not include comparison on a regional level for economic opportunity to adequately compare to the City.

Disproportionate Housing Needs, Including Displacement: The element includes minimal information on trends and patterns on a regional level for homeless and displacement to adequately compare to the City.

Local Data, Knowledge, and Other Relevant Factors: The element must include local data, knowledge, and other relevant factors to discuss and analyze any unique attributes about the City related to fair housing issues. The element should complement federal, state, and regional data with local data and knowledge where appropriate to capture emerging trends 385
City of Cloverdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 2 March 9, 2023
and issues, including utilizing knowledge from local and regional advocates and service providers, City staff and related local and county planning documents and should include an analysis of the history of exclusionary zoning in the City.

Identification and Prioritization of Contributing Factors: The element must list and prioritize contributing factors to fair housing issues. Contributing factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of fair housing issues and are fundamental to adequate goals and actions. While the element includes some information on contributing factors, the City should include examples such as community opposition to affordable housing, housing discrimination, land use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location and type or lack of affordable housing and lack of public or private investment in areas of opportunity or affordable housing choices. The analysis shall result in strategic approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to affordable housing.

2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov.

Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
Emergency Shelter: The element states that currently emergency shelters must go through a discretionary review process and that program IP 2.3.3 has been included to be consistent with state Law. However, the program commits to allow emergency shelters to be a by-right use in zones consistent with statutory requirements but does not specify the zones where emergency shelters will be allowed by right. Program IP 2.3.3 should be revised to include the zone where emergency shelters will be permitted.

Please note the element cannot be found in compliance until a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit (Government Code Section 65583(a)(4)). The identified zone or zones must include sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for emergency shelter and must accommodate at least one year-round shelter.

In addition, please be aware Chapter 654, Statutes of 2022 (AB 2339), adds additional specificity on how cities and counties plan for emergency shelters and ensure sufficient and suitable capacity. Future submittals of the housing element may need to address these statutory requirements. For additional information and timing requirements, please see HCD’s memo at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/docs/planning-andcommunity/ab2339-notice.pdf.

Supportive Housing: The element should clarify if there are policies/procedures to accommodate AB 2162 or should include a program.

3. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as 386
City of Cloverdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 3 March 9, 2023
identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)
Processing and Permit Procedures: The element states that there are projects that require major and minor design review. The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines and process, including approval procedures and decisionmaking criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the analysis could describe required findings and discuss whether objective standards and guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

Fees and Exactions: While the element includes estimated development impact fees for single family and multi-family housing, it should include estimates that include all other permitting fees for both single family and multi-family housing.

Inclusionary Housing: The element must specifically analyze locally adopted ordinances such as inclusionary ordinances that directly impact the cost and supply of residential development. The City appears to have an inclusionary ordinance, however no information was provided in the element. The element must describe and analyze the City’s inclusionary housing requirements, including its impacts as potential constraints on the development of housing for all income levels. The analysis must evaluate the inclusionary policy’s implementation framework, including levels of mandated affordability and the types of options and incentives offered to encourage and facilitate compliance with the inclusionary requirements.

C. Housing Programs

1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the various actions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To have a beneficial impact in the planning period and meet the goals and objectives of the housing element, programs must have specific commitment and timelines toward tangible outcomes. Programs to be revised with a metric and geographic targeting 387
City of Cloverdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 4 March 9, 2023
include Programs 1.1.1 (Rehabilitation/Preservation Program), 2.2.1 (Accessory Dwelling Units), 3.1.1 (Funding Affordable Housing), 3.1.2 (Housing Fund), 5.1.1 (Equitable Representation). In addition, Program 1.1.2 (Neighborhood Revitalization) should be revised to include a geographic targeting and Program 2.3.1 (Flexible Parking Options): should be revised to include a complete review and make recommendations.

2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).) As noted in Finding B2, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to encourage a variety of housing types.

3. The Housing Element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).)
The element must include a program(s) with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households. The program(s) could commit the City to adopting priority processing, granting fee waivers or deferrals, modifying development standards, granting concessions and incentives for housing developments that include units affordable to lower and moderateincome households; assisting, supporting or pursuing funding applications; and outreach and coordination with affordable housing developers.

4. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities.

The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).)
As noted in Finding B3, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints. 388
City of Cloverdale’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 5 March 9, 2023

5. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).) As noted in Finding B1, the element must include a complete assessment of fair housing.

Based on the outcomes of that analysis, the element must add or modify programs.

Goals and actions must specifically respond to the analysis and to the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns and trends. Actions must have specific commitment, metrics, milestones, and geographic targeting as appropriate and must address housing mobility enhancement (more choices and affordability across geographies), new housing choices and affordability in higher opportunity and income areas (e.g., missing middle housing types), place-based strategies for community preservation and revitalization and displacement protection. 389

Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Cloverdale Amending Sections 3.08.030 “Purchases by City Council – Competitive Bidding” and 3.08.040 “Purchases of Less than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars – Procedure” of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to Increase the City Manager’s Purchasing Authority. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended Council Action:

Waive the first reading and introduce an ordinance amending Sections 3.08.030 and 3.08.040 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code to increase the City Manager’s Purchasing Authority. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Background/Summary:

Government Code sections 54201 through 54203 require local agencies to adopt, by ordinance, policies and procedures governing the purchases of supplies and equipment by the local agency. In addition, Government Code section 40602 generally requires the Mayor to execute all contracts on behalf of the City unless the City Council, by Ordinance, gives signature authority to a different City officer.

Currently, Cloverdale Municipal Code section 3.08.030 requires all purchases and contracts of $25,000 or greater to go through a formal competitive bidding process. In addition, the City Council is required to approve all purchase and contracts of $25,000 or more. Cloverdale Municipal Code section 3.08.040 requires purchases and contracts of less $25,000, but more than a $1,000, to go through an informal solicitation process, through which the City must make an effort to obtain at least 3 quotes. The City Manager is authorized to approve purchases and contracts of under $25,000 without Council approval.

The current contracting limits were last modified in 2008. Since that time, the relative purchasing power of $25,000 has decreased greatly. Accordingly, the City is required to spend considerable time going through a competitive bidding process and obtaining council approval for relatively small purchases and contracts.

The proposed ordinance will increase the City Manager’s authority up to $50,000, and will similarly raise the threshold for formal competitive bidding to $50,000. Raising the limits allows for enhanced efficiency, reduces the amount of time and money spent implementing bid procedures and obtaining Council approval, and allows the City to effectively maintain operations and provide services to the community.

The proposed ordinance will not change the threshold for the formal bidding of construction contracts, which is governed by Cloverdale Municipal Code Chapter 3.12.

2. Choose not to introduce an ordinance amending Sections 3.08.030 and 3.08.040 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code; or

3. Direct staff to make additional revisions to the City Manager’s purchasing authority. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Subcommittee Recommendation:

The Finance Administration & Police Subcommittee recommended increasing the City Manager’s purchasing authority at their February 6th regular meeting.
________________________________________________________________________________________ Budget/Financial Impact:

There is no impact on the City’s General Fund as a result of this action. Adjusting purchasing authority limits has no effect on budgetary appropriations. However, by streamlining purchasing processes, there is potential savings in staff time and gained efficiencies allowing the City to address needs more quickly. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Attachments:

Summary
The Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (District) was initially formed by the City in 1997 in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to pay for costs associated with the maintenance of landscaping and the creek area within the Jefferson Springs IV Subdivision. This became Zone 1 of the District. Additional zones have been annexed into the District over time and there are currently a total of seven zones in the District. Maps of each of the Zones are included in the attached Preliminary FY 2023-24 Annual Engineer’s Report, Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (Engineer’s Report).

Assessments are levied annually within the District pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (Landscaping and Lighting Act). All assessments described in the Engineer’s Report and ultimately approved by the City Council are prepared in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act and are in compliance with the provisions of the California Constitution Article XIIID (Article XIIID), which was enacted with the passage of Proposition 218 in November of 1996. Affected property owners approved formation of the District in an election held in compliance with Article XIIID and the Mitigation Fee Act in 1997. The property owners also approved an escalation clause for future years that allows the assessment to increase in accordance with changes to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is tracked by the maximum annual assessment amount, or maximum allowable rate. Any future increase in the assessment rate in excess of the maximum allowable rate or substantial changes in the services provided would require the approval of the property owners subject to the assessment based upon mailed ballots sent to each property owner.

On January 25, 2023, the City Council began the required annual proceedings for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 and appointed Coastland Civil Engineering as Engineer of Work. The Engineer’s Report has been prepared and filed in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act and has been presented to the City Council for their consideration. This is the second of three City Council meetings regarding annual review of this assessment district. At this time the Council typically adopts the Resolutions of Intent to levy and collect assessments.

The Resolutions also include preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Report and set the date for the public hearing. At the third meeting, the Council will conduct a public hearing and may then authorize the levying and collection of assessments for FY 2023-24. At that time, the assessments cannot be increased above those stated in the Resolutions of Intent and the preliminary Engineer’s Report.

There are no annexations to the District for FY 2023-24. For FY 2023-24, assessments are proposed to increase for four of the seven zones in the District, Zone 1 (Jefferson Springs), Zone 3 (The Cottages), Zone 6 (Brookside Terrace) and Zone 7 (Sunrise Hills). The assessments for Zone 2 (Vintage Meadows), Zone 4 (The Vineyards), and Zone 5 (Ioli Ranch) are proposed to decrease.

The proposed budgets for each zone are described in detail in the preliminary Engineer’s Report. Funding sources include assessment revenues, annual reserves, miscellaneous revenue allocations and, in Zone 2, a General Fund contribution. The Zone 2 General Fund contribution provides funding for the general benefit portion of the operation and maintenance of Vintage Meadow Park, determined to be $11,274.00 for FY 2023-24 (see Part D of the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for an analysis of special verses general benefits).

Zone 2 will require ongoing General Fund contributions in future years.

The maximum allowed assessments in each Zone are proposed to be increased by the 2021 CPI adjustment of 4.9% to account for inflation. The proposed assessments for Zones 1 and 6 are at (or essentially at) the maximum allowable amount without balloting of the property owners, as discussed above. The proposed assessments for all other zones are below the maximum allowable amount.

In 2011, the City established a policy to maintain a minimum reserve balance of 25% of annual operating expenses in each of the zones to better manage existing and pending expenses. The reserves for Zones 2, 3, 4 and 7 are projected to end FY 2023-24 at 25%, meeting the target percentage. The reserve balances for Zones 1, 5 and 6 are projected to end FY 2023-24 below the target minimum. The reserve balance for Zone 5 is projected to end FY 2023-24 at zero percent.

The date of the required public hearing is proposed to be June 14, 2023.

In order to avoid potential conflicts of interest, the actions have been broken into four (4) separate resolutions as follows: Zone 1 only (Jefferson Springs), Zone 2 only (Vintage Meadows); Zone 3 only (The Cottages) and Zones 4, 5, 6 and 7 together (The Vineyards at Cloverdale, Ioli Ranch, Brookside Terrace and Sunrise Hills). Due to the need for a quorum to vote on each resolution, no more than two Councilmembers can be absent for the vote on each resolution. To the extent that three or more potential conflicts exist in a zone, the City will go through a random selection process to choose enough Councilmember(s) to create a quorum.

The attached Engineer’s Report includes all descriptions, budgets and assessment diagrams for FY 2023-24.

It does not include the assessment roll. The complete Engineer’s Report, with the assessment roll, is on file with the City Clerk.

3 FY 2023-24 ANNUAL ENGINEER'S REPORT

CLOVERDALE LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (Pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972)
Coastland Civil Engineering, Engineer of Work for the Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District, City of Cloverdale, Sonoma County, California, has prepared this annual Engineer’s Report, as directed on January 25, 2023, by the City Council of the City of Cloverdale, pursuant to Section 22620 of the Streets and Highways Code (Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972) for the Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Background
The Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District (Assessment District) was initially formed in September 1997 by the City Council to fund the costs associated with the operation and maintenance of creek landscaping within the Jefferson Springs Subdivision, Phases 3 and 4.

The Assessment District boundary for this original area is known as Zone 1. Once an Assessment District is created, it is possible to annex new Zones or annex new areas into existing Zones as new subdivisions and parks are developed in the City. During the annual proceedings for FY 2000- 01 and FY 2001-02, respectively, Zone 2 and Zone 3 were annexed into the Assessment District.

During the annual proceedings for FY 2004-05, Zones 4, 5 and 6 were annexed into the Assessment District. In the annual proceedings for FY 2005-06 and FY 2006-07, Zone 7, Sunrise Hills Phases 1 and 2 were annexed into the Assessment District, respectively. For FY 2023-24 there will be no new zones or annexations.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, an annual Engineer’s Report must be prepared and filed with the City in order to levy and collect assessments on any following fiscal year. On January 25, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution appointing Coastland Civil Engineering as the Engineer of Work and directed the preparation and filing of this FY 2023-24 Engineer’s Report. Once the preliminary Engineer’s Report has been filed, the City Council can then adopt a Resolution of Intent to levy and collect annual assessments for FY 2023-24, preliminarily approve the filed annual Engineer’s Report and set the time and date of the public protest hearing. The Engineer’s Report outlines the proposed budgets, assessments, improvements, and changes to the Assessment District. These budgets/costs are updated with each subsequent annual Engineer’s Report as required by the 1972 Act.

In FY 2011-12, the City established a policy of trying to maintain a minimum reserve balance of 25% of operating expenses in each of the zones to better manage existing and pending expenses.

Since FY 2012-13, the employee time portion of personnel costs have been based on continued tracking of actual time spent for each zone and averaging it for each zone over a 3-year period. 412
4 Proposition 218 and Special Benefits
In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 which amended the California Constitution by adding Article XIII C and Article XIII D. Those Articles affect the ability of local government to levy and collect taxes, assessments, and property-related fees and charges. With respect to assessment districts, Article XIII D stipulates that a parcel’s assessment not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred upon that parcel. “Special benefit” is defined as “a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large.

The effects of Proposition 218 with respect to the Annual Engineer’s Report are that the special benefits conferred upon assessed parcels through the improvements and services funded by the District must be identified, any general benefit conferred upon the public at large by those same improvements and services must also be identified, and the annual costs of said improvements and services must be apportioned between the two. The cost of services attributable to a general benefit may not be assessed.

In the case of the Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District, “improvements and services” primarily refers to landscaping in identified areas within each zone and the maintenance thereof, but also includes the operation and maintenance of a public neighborhood park (Vintage Meadows Park).

In general, the special benefits to each parcel provided by maintained landscaping within each zone include:
• Enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, • Improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and
• Improved air quality from additional vegetation.

Each parcel within a zone receives a particular and distinct special benefit from the maintenance of the landscaping within that zone even though the landscaping may not be adjacent to each parcel. Although members of the public may walk or drive through a zone and appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the maintained landscaping, this does not necessarily confer a general benefit to the public at large and, in any case, is determined to be negligible relative to the special benefits conferred upon the parcels within a particular zone.

Part D of this report, Method of Apportionment of Assessment, includes further discussion of the special and general benefits conferred by the specific improvements and services within each zone.

Fiscal Year 2023-24
For FY 2023-24, the total assessment district budget has decreased approximately 0.8% from FY 2022-23. Zones 1 and 4 are proposed to have budget increases of 13.5% and 2.8%, respectively. Zones 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are proposed to have budget decreases of 3.4%, 0.1%, 4.3%,

4.4%, and 6.1%, respectively.
413
5 Zones 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 are projected to have beginning reserve balances that exceed the targeted 25% of operating expenses. Consequently, excess reserves can be utilized in those zones to reduce assessments . Annual assessments for Zones 2, 4 and 5 are proposed to decrease from the FY 2022-23 amounts. Annual assessments for Zones 3 and 7 are proposed to increase from FY 2022-23, but do not exceed the maximum assessment allowed. The assessments for Zones 1 and 6 will increase to their maximum annual assessment.

The projected ending FY 2023-24 fund balances for Zones 2, 3, 4 and 7 are projected to be at the reserve target of 25% of operating expenses. The projected ending reserve balance for Zones 1, 5 and 6 are projected to be at 13%, 0% and 4%, respectively.

The total proposed Assessment District budget for FY 2023-24 is $265,659.25. The total budget for FY 2022-23 was $267,800.49. The funding sources are from proposed annual assessment revenue to be levied and collected during FY 2023-24, available Zone reserves, miscellaneous revenue allocations and General Fund contributions.

To take annual inflation into account, the original 1997 formation proceedings, and all subsequent annexations of new zones into this Assessment District included a maximum annual assessment and an allowance for an annual increase to the maximum annual assessment in accordance with the annual Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.). The annual CPI is based on the All Urban Consumers (San Francisco Area) CPI from the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. An annual CPI adjustment to the annual assessment is not mandatory. The CPI adjustment for 2022 was +4.9%. If the annual Engineer’s Report recommends any adjustment up to the sum of the previous year’s maximum assessment plus the allowable annual CPI increase, notices are not required to be sent nor shall a vote be required. If, however, the annual Engineer’s Report recommends any adjustment that exceeds the sum of the previous year’s maximum assessment plus the allowable annual CPI increase, noticing and/or voting shall be required in accordance with the provisions applicable to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and California Constitution, Article XIII D (also referred to as Proposition 218).

Table 1, below, summarizes the proposed FY 2023-24 assessments to levy and collect and the new maximum annual assessments allowed to be assessed.

The proposed changes, budgets and assessments for FY 2023-24 are included in the description of each zone below. See Part D, ‘Method of Apportionment of Assessment’ of this report for a detailed description of the apportionment methodology for each zone.

Zone 1 - Jefferson Springs, Phases 3 & 4
Zone 1 was formed with the initial formation of the Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment in FY 1997-98 and consists of the Jefferson Springs Subdivision, Phases 3 and 4. No new annexations are proposed for Zone 1 for FY 2023-24. No significant land use changes have occurred within Zone 1 during the previous year.

The total proposed Zone 1 budget for FY 2023-24 is $24,471.73. This is an increase of approximately 13.5% from the FY 2022-23 budget mostly due to additional employee costs. The proposed funding will be from FY 2023-24 assessment revenue, Zone 1 reserves and a miscellaneous revenue allocation. See Table 2 in Part B for estimated dollar amounts. 415
7 For FY 2023-24, the proposed annual assessment to levy and collect for Zone 1 is proposed to increase to $252.00 per Equivalent Single-Family Dwelling (ESD). The ending fiscal year reserves will be 13%, below the target minimum level of 25%. In order to keep up with inflation, the maximum annual assessment is proposed to be adjusted up by the 2022 CPI of +4.9%. (See Table 1).

41 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT
Special and General Benefits
Each parcel within each of the zones of the Assessment District receives a distinct special benefit from improvements and maintenance thereof as discussed below. Additionally, general benefits conferred to the community at large from improvements and maintenance thereof within each zone, if any, are identified.

Zone 1 - Zone 1 includes the maintenance of the landscaping and the pathway adjacent to the creek running through Jefferson Springs Subdivision, Phases 3 & 4. The parcels within this zone receive a direct special benefit from the pathway and creek. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 1 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 1 maintained landscaping is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 1 provided by the pathway include the readily accessible opportunity for recreation and dog walking. Based upon City staff observations and discussions with residents, this pathway appears to be used predominantly by neighborhood residents and it is therefore assumed to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Zone 2 - Zone 2 funds the annual costs associated with the operation and maintenance of Vintage Meadows Park, the back-on landscaping along portions of Foothill Boulevard and S. Franklin Street within the subdivision, the traffic island within Healdsburg Avenue and the area at the intersection of Foothill Boulevard and Port Circle, south of Zinfandel Court. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 2 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 2 maintained landscaping, excluding Vintage Meadows Park, is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Vintage Meadows Park General Benefit Analysis (within Zone 2) Vintage Meadows Park was built as a Neighborhood Park within the Vintage Meadows residential development and was intended to serve the residents of that neighborhood. Consequently, it has been the assumption since the park was completed in 2007 that it is used predominantly by the residents of that neighborhood (Zone 2). However, as an open public park, it is reasonable to assume that it is used, at least occasionally, by members of the community that reside outside of Zone 2. That usage would represent a general benefit to the community at large.

An analysis was conducted in 2018 to apportion the use of the park between residents of Zone 2 and the community at large. Based upon staff observations and a review of historical aerial photographs of the park, there are rarely any vehicles parked adjacent to the park. It is therefore assumed that the park is accessed mainly by pedestrians. This analysis looked at the total number 434
42 of residences within a reasonable walking distance of the park. An individual’s willingness to walk a certain distance depends of upon a variety of factors including purpose, age, health, safety and climate. For this analysis walking distance was assumed to be ¼ mile. The total number of residences within walking distance, excluding those that are closer to City Park, was determined to be 267. Of that total, 206 are within the Vintage Meadows development (Zone 2). Therefore, the percentage of residences within walking distance but not within Zone 2 is calculated to be 23%. Although household populations are not uniform in their composition and likelihood of using the park, this figure is believed to represent a reasonable estimate of the General Benefit that Vintage Meadows Park confers on the community outside of Zone 2. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 2 provided by Vintage Meadows Park include the readily accessible opportunity for recreation and enhanced desirability of properties through association with and proximity to the park.

The total estimated cost of maintaining Vintage Meadows Park, including the restrooms for FY 2023-24 is budgeted to be $49,017.55. The total funding contribution from the City’s General Fund will be $11,274.00. This represents 23% of the total budgeted park maintenance cost. This percentage of the total park operation and maintenance cost paid for by the City’s General Fund is equal to the estimated percentage of general benefit that the park confers to the community at large.

Zone 3 - The related Assessment District improvements in Zone 3 include the linear park along Muscat Creek, “back-on” landscape maintenance along a portion of Foothill Boulevard within Zone 3, maintenance of the preserved wetlands area at the corner of Ranch House Drive and Elbridge Drive, weed abatement of the area just west of Ranch House Drive and Elbridge Avenue and other improvements within Zone 3. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 3 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof, the preserved wetlands and the weed abatement include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The weed abatement also provides the special benefit of reduced fire risk.

The Zone 3 maintained landscaping, preserved wetlands and weed abatement are determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 3 provided by the linear park include the readily accessible opportunity for recreation and dog walking. Based upon City staff observations and discussions with residents, this linear park appears to be used primarily by neighborhood residents and is therefore assumed to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Zone 4 - The related improvements in Zone 4 include “back-on” landscaping along Foothill Boulevard and Mount Diablo Way and maintenance of a stormwater detention basin area within Zone 4. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 4 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 4 maintained landscaping is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. An additional special benefit of enhanced flood protection is provided to each parcel in Zone 4 by the detention basin. The Zone 4 maintained detention basin is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. 435
43 Zone 5 - The related improvements in Zone 5 include “back on” landscaping along Cloverdale Boulevard. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 5 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 5 maintained landscaping is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Zone 6 - The related improvements in Zone 6 include the “back-on” landscape maintenance along a portion of Cloverdale Boulevard and West Brookside Drive and a small park on West Brookside Drive. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 6 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 6 maintained landscaping is determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 6 provided by the small park include the readily accessible opportunity for recreation. This park does not have any signage indicating that it is a public park and it could easily be assumed to be a private amenity.

Based upon this fact and City staff observations, this park is assumed be used exclusively by neighborhood residents and is therefore determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Zone 7 - The improvements in Zone 7 include “back-on” landscape maintenance along a portion of Foothill Boulevard, maintenance of the open space and drainage easement (wetland) area and street lighting costs. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 7 provided by the landscaping and the maintenance thereof and the wetlands include enhanced desirability of properties through association with the improvements, improved aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, and improved air quality from additional vegetation. The Zone 7 maintained landscaping and wetlands are determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. In addition, the open space includes a paved path that provides the special benefits to each parcel in Zone 7 of readily accessible opportunities for recreation and dog walking. Based upon City staff observations and discussions with residents, this path appears to be used primarily by neighborhood residents and is therefore determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large. The special benefits to each parcel in Zone 7 provided by the operation and maintenance the streetlighting is enhanced pedestrian and vehicle safety. The Zone 7 operated and maintained streetlights are determined to confer no general benefits to the community at large.

Method of Apportionment
The following is a brief description of the manner the annual assessment has been apportioned to each parcel in Zones 1 – 7 within the Assessment District. Only the proportionate special benefit costs of operation and maintenance of improvements within each Zone are apportioned to the assessments.

The method of apportionment (spread) equates all parcels in Zones 1 – 7 within the boundaries of the Assessment District to an Equivalent Single-Family Dwelling (ESD) unit use, or portion 436
44 thereof. As shown in Table 3, basic use units reflect the relative benefit accruing to parcels of land within the Cloverdale Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District.

Table 3. Use Units by Parcel Type
Parcel Type Use Units
Vacant parcel in undeveloped area 1/10 unit
Vacant parcel in developed area 1/2 unit
Single dwelling parcel 1 unit
Multiple dwelling unit parcel 1 unit per dwelling
Commercial or Industrial parcel 1 unit per business
Commercial or Industrial parcel with dwelling
unit
1 unit per business + 1 unit per dwelling unit
Once the total number of ESD units is determined for each of the Zones, the total number of ESD units within each Zone shall be divided into each respective Zone’s operation and maintenance expenses for the upcoming fiscal year (see Part B). This will result in the proposed annual assessment per ESD for the upcoming fiscal year. The annual assessment per ESD shall be multiplied by the total use units established for each parcel, or portion thereof, to determine the proposed total annual assessment for each parcel within each zone. Annual assessments are apportioned in this manner due to the relative benefit of the improvements to each of the parcels within each separate Zone. Since the improvements are easily accessible to all the parcels within each Zone, the level of benefit is equally spread to each parcel.

Although Section 22663 of the Streets and Highways Code typically requires that public property not be assessed, Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution now requires that public agencies shall not be exempt from assessment. However, the creek area, wetlands and public rights-of-way and easements within various Zones preclude construction of structures for other uses that conflict with the allowable zoning of these areas. Therefore, these publicly owned areas without a dwelling used exclusively for greenbelt, or open space, or upon the common area of any planned unit development receive no special benefit and do not receive an annual assessment.

SUBJECT: Eel River at Cape Horn Dam Fish Passage Improvement Planning and Design Dear USBR Ecosystem Restoration Grant Program Review Committee:

As Mayor of the City of Cloverdale, I am writing to express my support for the application submitted by the Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water) for the Eel River at Cape Horn Dam Fish Passage Improvement Planning and Design (Project).

The City of Cloverdale delivers drinking water to more than 3,300 customers. We rely primarily on wells located near the Russian River to meet the needs of our community. Our water systems and the communities that we support were developed assuming that releases from Lake Mendocino would supplement natural flows in the river. As the climate changes and we face longer, more frequent droughts, water stored and released from Lake Mendocino has played an increasingly important role in the resiliency of our systems. For the same reasons, Lake Mendocino (especially during dry years) relies heavily on diversions from the Potter Valley Project (PVP) to maintain adequate storage to meet minimum stream flows in the Russian River.

We understand that PVP in its current configuration is no longer viable: A facilities assessment currently underway by Sonoma Water (funded by the California Department of Water Resources and based on work prepared for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife) assumes significant modifications to PVP, including the removal of Scott Dam and the possible modification or removal of Cape Horn Dam. The assessment also includes the initial development of three fish passage designs, with the goal of continuing water diversions while ensuring improved fish passage in the Eel River.

The proposed Project will ensure that stakeholders have a voice in determining which of the three fish passage designs is further developed, will provide for review by technical experts and will advance the fish passage design from 30 percent to 60 percent. This facilitated work is critical in helping the water suppliers in our region transition from the current PVP to a future diversion design that will continue to provide water “insurance” as we face a changing climate.

For these reasons, the City of Cloverdale supports the Eel River at Cape Horn Dam Fish Passage Improvement Planning and Design. Thank you in advance for considering funding for this important project.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Todd Lands
Mayor
