Subject: Street maintenance

" Read aloud in meeting"
We invest millions of $$ in street maintenance and when a street is accessed for several or water repair, the resulting patch to the street is a bump in the road. The city issues permits and has inspectors to be sure the work is completed properly. Why then is there a uneven surface repair?? There are some repairs done properly that can't be noticed but the majority result in a bump to a smooth surface, WHY? with the equipment available today each intrusion in a public street should be repaired as if it was never dug up.

Subject: Considering approval of third amendment to the August 1, 2009, lease agreement between the City of Concord and
Monument Impact, extending the lease by five years, for the use of the Keller House located at 1760 Clayton Road; and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

CEQA: Not a project/exempt per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15273, 15378, 15301, 15323 and/or Public Resources Code Section 21065.

Report in Brief
Monument Impact currently leases the Keller House from the City, which is located at 1760 Clayton Road. This lease agreement is set to expire on July 31, 2022. The City Council’s Recreation, Cultural Affairs & Community Services Committee met with Monument Impact and are recommending Council approve a lease change, which extends the agreement by five years.

Recommended Action
Approve a third amendment to the August 1, 2009, lease agreement between the City of Concord and Monument Impact; and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

Background
The “Keller House” is an approximately 2,600 square foot residential home that has been converted to office space. The Concord Historical Society website provides the

following history regarding the Keller House, which is located within Ellis Lake Park at 1760 Clayton Road:

Built in 1902-03 by L.V. Perry for Henry (Harry) and Elodia Keller, the house was initially located at the southeast corner of Galindo and Clayton Rd. Paul and Marie Keller acquired the house in 1912 when his brother, Harry, purchased a large ranch in Clayton. Paul was founder of the P.L. Keller Hardware store, was City Clerk (1910-1914), and was very active in civic and cultural affairs. In the late 1970’s, the house was converted to a real estate office and restored. In 1984, it was moved to its current Ellis Lake Park location where it is used for community service activities.

The Keller House is situated in the northern portion of Ellis Lake Park with parking lot access off Clayton Road. The parking lot also serves park visitors utilizing the children’s playground and tot lot, restrooms, and trail surrounding the lake (see Figure 1).

Figure 1

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.c
March 22, 2022
For a number of years the City has been leasing the historic Keller House to Monument Impact. The relationship with Monument Impact began in 1998 when the City and Monument Community Partnership partnered to address quality of life issues in the Monument Corridor. The organization later merged with the Michael Chavez Center. It changed its name to Monument Impact in 2014. The mission of Monument Impact is to ensure that immigrants, refugees and low-income residents in Concord and surrounding communities have the voice, tools and relationships necessary to have an equitable share of the social and economic wealth in our region. More information about Monument Impact is available on their website: http://monumentimpact.org

On July 7, 2015, the Concord City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an amended lease with Monument Impact for a five-year term commencing on August 1, 2015 and expiring on July 31, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Council Committee on Recreation, Cultural Affairs, and Community Services met to discuss the lease before it was set to expire. After receiving information from staff and hearing community dialog on the matter, the Council Committee and Monument Impact determined that each wanted to amend terms of the existing lease and extend it for an additional two years.

The City Council authorized the two-year extension on October 13, 2020.

Analysis
On December 7, 2021, Monument Impact wrote to the City requesting a one-year extension of the lease (Attachment 1). The request came due to Monument Impact’s unsuccessful attempt at finding a new location where it could consolidate its two offices into one to support it in fulfilling its mission. The organization needs the additional year to continue looking and exploring options.

The Council Committee on Recreation, Cultural Affairs, and Community Services met on January 24, 2022 to consider the lease extension. After hearing a report from staff and input provided by Monument Impact, the Committee agreed to amend and extend the lease for an additional five years. The purpose of granting a five-year extension was to allow Monument Impact sufficient time to find a new location, without the need to request additional extensions.

The existing lease agreement includes a number of terms which spell out both City and leaseholder responsibilities; these are not recommended to be changed. The only term of the agreement recommended for change is the following:

1. Section 3. Extension of Term of the Lease is amended to read as follows:

The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for an additional two (2) years commencing on August 1, 2022, and expiring on July 31, 2027 (“Third Extension Term”).

Dear Justin,
I'm writing on behalf of Monument Impact to respectfully request a one-year extension on our Keller House lease. We began working with a realtor early this year to find new space in Concord, in or very near to the Monument Corridor in order to remain accessible to the community we have served for over 20 years.

Unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful in finding a new building despite adjusting our needs. Originally, we thought we could find one location so all our programs could be housed under one roof, but we are continuing to look for a space that is at least the same size as Keller House or slightly larger.

An extension on our lease would`allow Ml management and our board the time necessary to continue looking and exploring options such as joining with other nonprofits in a co-location arrangement. It would also allow us more time to assess the feasibility of launching a capital campaign for a purchase option. We have already secured a 3-year no-interest loan should an opportunity present itself.

Thank you for your consideration. Please let Debra or me know if you have questions or would like to meet.

Subject: Considering the adoption of a Resolution opposing the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act
Initiative 21-0042A1, which limits voter input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

Report in Brief
An association representing California’s wealthiest corporations – including oil, insurance, banks and drug companies – is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot. Their measure would create major new loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, while also allowing corporations to evade enforcement when they violate environmental, health, safety and other state and local laws. Staff recommends that the City Council formally oppose the Corporate Loophole Scheme through adoption of a Resolution.

Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution opposing the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative, which limits voter input, adopts new and stricter rules for raising taxes and fees, and makes it more difficult to hold state and local law violators accountable.

Background
In 2018, the “Tax Fairness, Transparency and Accountability Act” or (AG# 17-0050 Amdt. #1), was being circulated to qualify for the November 2018 ballot. This initiative would have drastically limited local revenue authority.

5.d5.d

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.d
March 22, 2022
Through the successful work and advocacy of the League of California Cities and its coalition, the measure’s proponents withdrew the initiative from the ballot in June 2018.

On Jan. 4, 2022, the California Business Roundtable filed the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act or AG# 21-0042A1. This measure is far more detrimental to cities than the measure filed in 2018, because it would decimate vital local and state services to the benefit of wealthy corporations.

Analysis
The following summarizes what this measure would do if passed:

1. Limit voter authority and accountability
 Limits voter input. Prohibits local voters from providing direction on how local tax dollars should be spent by prohibiting local advisory measures.  Invalidates the Upland decision that allows a majority of local voters to pass special taxes. Taxes proposed by the Initiative are subject to the same rules as taxes placed on the ballot by a city council. All measures passed between January 2022 and November 2022 would be invalidated unless reenacted within 12 months.

2. Restrict local fee authority to provide local services  Impacts franchise fees. Sets new standard for fees and charges paid for the use of local and state government property. The standard may significantly restrict the amount oil companies, utilities, gas companies, railroads, garbage companies, cable companies, and other corporations pay for the use of local public property. Rental and sale of local government property must be “reasonable” which must be proved by “clear and convincing evidence.”  Except for licensing and other regulatory fees, fees and charges may not exceed the “actual cost” of providing the product or service for which the fee is charged. “Actual cost” is the “minimum amount necessary.” The burden to prove the fee or charge does not exceed “actual cost” is changed to “clear and convincing” evidence.

3. Restrict authority of state and local governments to issue fines and penalties for violations of law
 Requires voter approval of fines, penalties, and levies for corporations and property owners that violate state and local laws unless a new, undefined adjudicatory process is used to impose the fines and penalties.

4. Restrict local tax authority to provide local services

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.d
March 22, 2022
 Requires voter approval to expand existing taxes (e.g., UUT, use tax, TOT) to new territory (e.g., annexation) or expanding the base (e.g., new utility service).
 City charters may not be amended to include a tax or fee.  New taxes can be imposed only for a specific time period.  Taxes adopted after Jan. 1, 2022, that do not comply with the new rules, are void unless reenacted.
 All state taxes require majority voter approval.
 Prohibits any surcharge on property tax rate and allocation of property tax to state.

5. Other changes
 No fee or charge or exaction regulating vehicle miles traveled can be imposed as a condition of property development or occupancy.

By adopting the proposed Resolution, the City Council will strongly oppose this initiative, along with the League of California Cities, a broad coalition of local governments, labor and public safety leaders, infrastructure advocates, and businesses.

Financial Impact
There is no financial impact of adopting this resolution.

A Resolution Opposing the Taxpayer Protection and
Government Accountability Act Initiative 21-0042A1
Resolution No. 22-XX
/
WHEREAS, an association representing California’s wealthiest corporations is behind a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2022 statewide ballot; and WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local infrastructure, our environment, water quality, air quality, and natural resources; and WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure makes it much more difficult for state and local regulators to issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to state and local services at risk, and could force cuts to public schools, fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks, libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and more; and
WHEREAS, the measure would also reduce funding for critical infrastructure like streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water, new schools, sanitation, and utilities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CONCORD DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City of Concord opposes the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act Initiative 21-0042A1.

Section 2. The City of Concord will join the NO on Initiative 21-0042A1 coalition, a growing

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires that local planning agencies submit annual progress reports on their general plans by April 1 of each year to the State Office of Planning and Research and the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

Recommended Action
Accept the General Plan Annual Progress Report for 2021, including the Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Downtown Specific Plan Annual Progress Report, and authorize its submittal to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and to the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

Background
California Government Code Section 65300 requires each city and county to adopt a general plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction. California Government Code §65400(a)(2) requires that the local planning agency provide an annual progress report (APR) on its general plan to the legislative body, which in Concord's case is the City Council. The APR provides an update on General Plan implementation, including meeting the City’s ‘fair share’ of regional housing needs, as well as local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The APR must be submitted by April 1 of each year to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The APR covers the previous calendar year (2021 for the current APR) and includes the following elements:

A. An overview of the City’s General Plan status and consistency with State General Plan Guidelines;
B. A review of the City’s progress in meeting the regional housing needs objectives, including a summary of local efforts toward assistance, rehabilitation and preservation of housing;
C. A summary of General Plan Housing Element programs and their implementation status; and
D. A summary of recently completed and active General Plan and Development Code amendments.

Analysis
A. Status of the General Plan Implementation Progress
In 2007, the City of Concord updated its General Plan, the Concord 2030 Urban Area General Plan. The following discussion summarizes the implementation progress of the various elements of the General Plan during calendar year 2021.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
Land Use Element
The Land Use Element constitutes the framework for land use planning in Concord to the year 2030. This Element designates the location and extent of land use categories such as housing, business, industry, public facilities, and open space. It includes policies and a land use diagram. The primary achievements during 2021 included the following:

1. Downtown Concord Specific Plan: The 2014 Downtown Concord Specific Plan (DCSP) is geared toward realizing the Downtown’s development potential, with an emphasis on economic development, consistent with the General Plan. The DCSP helps to obtain grant funding and provides an implementation plan for the Downtown development vision. The DSCP is also implemented by the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan, the Downtown Corridors Plan, and current development projects. See discussion of these items, as well as the Implementation Matrix (Attachment 2), for further information about implementation of the DCSP.

In 2021, the Downtown welcomed Side Gate Brewery & Beer Garden at 1822 Grant Street, saw substantial progress toward completion of The Grant mixed-use project (228 dwelling units and 4,600 square feet of commercial space), and resumed the Music and Market series which was postponed during 2020 due to COVID-19. In addition, to support businesses impacted by COVID-19, in July 2021 the City extended the application deadline for new temporary outdoor operations (e.g., restaurant seating) until March 31, 2022, and extended the deadline to remove permitted temporary outdoor operations until June 30, 2022. In August 2021, the City began waiving application fees for permanent outdoor operations until June 30, 2022.

2. Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Safe Routes to Transit Master Plan: On September 27, 2016, the City Council adopted the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan (“Plan”). The Plan includes three tiers of projects totaling $146 million. In 2017, the City Council formed the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to review and provide input on: 1) transportation capital projects including roadway, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, 2) Complete Streets features and projects’ conformance with the Plan; 3) grant applications; 4) an annual progress review on Plan implementation; and 5) programs and policies related to Plan implementation as requested by staff or the City Council.

In 2021, BPAC reviewed the following projects:
 Downtown Corridors Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project (Project No. 2424): This project provides bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements to three corridors in the Downtown: Oak Street from Galindo Street to Grant Street, Grant Street from Oak Street to Salvio Street, and Salvio/Broadway Streets from Grant Street to Harrison Street. Improvements include Class 2 bike lanes,

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
sidewalk, curb ramps, lighting, crossing improvements, and paving improvements along Oak Street. Project design is nearing completion, with construction anticipated to start in 2023.
 Monument Boulevard Class 1 Path (Project No. 2455): This project creates a shared-use (Class 1) bicycle and pedestrian path along the east side of Monument Boulevard between Cowell Road and Systron Drive, intersection improvements at Monument Boulevard/Cowell Road and Monument Boulevard/Systron Drive, a connection to the existing BART path along Mesa Street, and green infrastructure within the project limits. Project design is complete, with construction anticipated to start in Summer 2022.  Grant Street/East Street Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2525):

This project will rehabilitate the pavement on Grant Street from Broadmoor Avenue to High School Avenue, and East Street from High School Avenue to Salvio Street. The project will also consider construction of complete streets elements and fiber optic conduits. Design is nearing completion and the project will be going to construction in Summer 2022.
 Willow Pass Road Repaving Road Safe Routes to Transit (SR2T) Improvement Project (Project No. 2449): This project combines three separate capital projects. First, the Willow Pass Repaving project will rehabilitate existing deteriorated asphalt pavement between Galindo Street and San Vincente Drive.

Second, the Willow Pass Safe Routes to Transit project will address several sidewalk gap closures and driveway modifications to achieve ADA compliance.

Third, an additional $150,000 of SR2T funds allow for pedestrian improvements at Ashdale Drive, which include Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFD).

The project is progressing towards final design (currently past 65%) with construction scheduled for 2023.

In addition, in 2021 the Transportation Division initiated the following grant-funded study to assist with implementation of the Plan:
 Pine Hollow Road Complete Streets Study. The City was awarded a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant to evaluate the feasibility of implementing Complete Streets elements and improvements along Pine Hollow Road. The Complete Streets Feasibility Study will examine current challenges along the corridor and develop a set of proposed improvements to enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety, auto circulation, trail connectivity, and residential and school access along a 2-mile segment of Pine Hollow Road/Alberta Way from Clayton Valley Charter High School to Mount Diablo Elementary School in the City of Clayton.

3. Downtown Corridors Plan: The 2016 Downtown Corridors Plan provides streetscape designs for Salvio, Grant and Oak Streets that may also be applicable to other streets in the Downtown area. In July 2020, the City was awarded

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
approximately $3.8 million for construction of the Downtown Corridors Project under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) grant as part of the Resources for Community Development’s Galindo Terrace Affordable Housing Development (AHD). A portion of the construction cost is covered by the Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) component. The project is nearing design completion with construction anticipated to start in 2023.

4. Current Development: The City evaluated current development applications for conformance with the Land Use Element and extended or amended entitlement approvals for several commercial and residential projects. Notable applications approved in 2021 include:
 Six townhomes at 2150 Fremont Street
 70 multi-family units (including 30 affordable units) at 1335 Galindo Street (RMG Affordable Housing)
 281 multi-family units (including 32 affordable units) at 1650 Ashbury Street (The Ashbury)
 15 single-family dwellings (including one affordable unit) at 1881 Whitman Road (Heckmann Subdivision)
 Three single-family homes at 3543 Wren Avenue
 120,824 square foot self-storage facility at the northwest corner of Marsh Drive and Solano Way (Concord Airport Storage)
 850 square foot restaurant with a 24-hour drive through and an 8,006 square foot child care facility (Dutch Bros and Kiddie Academy, respectively) at 4672 Bailey Road and an abutting parcel
 A gas station expansion with a 3,541 square foot convenience store, a 1,121 square foot car wash, and 2,741 square foot fuel canopy with four dispensers located at 1500 and 1590 Concord Avenue
 Cannabis microbusinesses for Fiacre (cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution) located at 2550 Stanwell Drive and Moxie (non-storefront retail, manufacturing, and distribution) at 200 Mason Circle
 Cannabis distribution for SGI and Medusa located at 5137 and 5143 Port Chicago Highway, respectively
The City also extended or amended prior approvals for the following projects:
 117 assisted living and 33 memory care units at 1335 – 1385 Galindo Street (Avesta Assisted Living Facility)

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
 Four multifamily units at 1985 North Third Street (Abdelnor Family Duplexes) Concord Naval Weapons Station: The 2012 Reuse Area Plan envisions 12,200 housing units over the 30-year life of the project, of which 25 percent are to be affordable. Since adoption of the Plan, the City has been working to secure a master developer and obtain property transfer from the United States Navy. On April 6, 2021, the City Council considered and decided upon a master developer selection process and authorized the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to restart a streamlined process to retain a new master developer for the project. On June 24, 2021, in response to the Master Developer Statements of Qualifications, the City received three submittals from potential developers.

To evaluate the proposals, the Base team prepared a developer comparison matrix and included the outcome of all reference and project checks of the developer teams. This matrix was attached to the staff report for the August 21, 2021 City Council meeting, at which time Concord First Partners, LLC (CFP) was selected as a Master Developer to engage in the negotiation of an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA). On October 26, 2021, following negotiations with CFP and City staff, the ENA was considered and approved by the City Council. The City’s team is negotiating a Term Sheet with CFP. Staff anticipates bringing the Term Sheet to the Council for review by May 2022.

5. Former Coast Guard Housing Site: On June 23, 2021, the City Council held a special meeting and conducted a study session on the property owners’ Preliminary Application. Since that time, City staff has met a number of times with the property owners and with their consultant team in an effort to assist them in preparing their formal application for the site. The property owners have indicated their goal is to submit a formal application in the first quarter of 2022 with a two-pronged approach to address: 1) short-term renovation and occupancy of the units; and 2) a long-term redevelopment plan for the site to address the City Council’s from the June 23, 2021 study session.

Growth Management Element
The Growth Management Element establishes policies and standards for traffic levels of service, and to establish performance standards for roadways, parks, fire and police services, sanitary facilities, water service, and flood control. This Element addresses demands for public facilities generated by new development with plans, capital improvement programs, and mitigation programs. The main implementation activity for this Element is ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the element’s policies. No amendments were made to this Element in 2021.

Economic Vitality
The Economic Vitality Element provides guidance to enhance linkages between economic development, land use, and zoning; provides further support for Downtown

development and retail businesses; and affirms existing programs affecting economic development. The main implementation activity for this Element is ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the element’s policies. No updates were made to this Element in 2021.

On August 10, 2021, the City Council approved a text amendment to the Development Code changing the allowable land use classifications and permitting requirements to the DP (Downtown Pedestrian), DMX (Downtown Mixed Use), and WMX (West Concord Mixed Use) zoning districts. To ensure continued economic sustainability, these changes will help facilitate additional businesses to locate within these districts, while still maintaining the pedestrian-oriented environment in the DP district as well as the intended cohesive mix of uses in the DMX and WMX districts.

Transportation and Circulation Element
The Transportation and Circulation Element provides guidance and specific actions to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the City's circulation system. The Element indicates the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities, and is correlated with the Land Use Element. The main implementation activity for this Element is ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Element’s policies. No specific updates were made to this Element in 2021.

Parks, Open Space, and Conservation Element
The Parks, Open Space, and Conservation Element provides guidance for acquisition, management, and preservation of the City’s open spaces and natural resources, as well as identifying the parks and recreation facilities available to local residents. The main ongoing implementation activity for this Element is review of development projects for conformance to the Element’s policies. Additional key activities during 2021 are as follows:
 In November 2021 the City was awarded a $5,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to perform a high-level needs assessment of the Don Fernando Pacheco Adobe at Hillcrest Park, 3119 Grant Street. The assessment will aid the City’s planning efforts and support the future release of a Request for Proposals to rehabilitate and reuse the Adobe and its surrounding property.

Safety and Noise Element
The Safety and Noise Element identifies the City’s natural and man-made hazards, including air quality, noise, earthquakes, flooding, hazardous materials, and wildland fires, and provides both preventative and responsive mitigations to address these hazards. No specific amendments were made to this Element in 2021.

Public Facilities and Utilities Element
The Public Facilities and Utilities Element addresses the City’s current and future service and infrastructure needs, including wastewater collection, law enforcement, childcare programs, and cultural arts and education programs. The main implementation activity for this Element is ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Element’s policies.

Housing Element Update
The City's Housing Element Update was adopted on January 6, 2015, after considerable public input throughout a year-long process. The Update includes policies, programs, and quantified objectives to guide the City's development decisions and remove unwarranted governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing in Concord.

Staff made progress on the following four notable Housing Element programs in 2021, including:
 H-1.3.1: Encourage the development of small lot subdivisions and continue to implement standards for small-lot single family homes.

The City approved a small lot subdivision with 15 single-family dwellings (including one affordable unit) at 1881 Whitman Road in November 2021.  H-1.4.2: Allow secondary units in the single-family districts in accordance with State law.

In October 2019, the City was awarded $310,000 in State SB 2 Planning Grants Program funds to encourage the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) in Concord by offering pre-approved architectural plans to the public and a streamlined approval process through the City's Planning Division. As part of this effort, the City hired a design firm to create the architectural and construction documents for various sized and styled ADUs. In December 2021, the ADU conceptual plans were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Design Review Board. The ADU construction documents are currently being prepared and are anticipated to be complete and made available to the public by summer of 2022. Additionally, see Table 3 which summarizes ADU applications approved and permits issued over the last several years.  H-2.1.1: Utilize public funds to provide assistance in the rehabilitation & conservation of deteriorated single-family homes, multi-family developments & mobile homes.

In 2021, 20 single-family and mobile homes were rehabilitated for low-income homeowners through the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program.  H-2.4.1: Establish a mechanism to determine whether there is a risk of displacement of existing Concord residents as new development activity takes place in the City.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
In 2019, the City established an Ad Hoc Committee on Rental Housing, which met to discuss the local housing market and recommend policy to address issues such as affordability, availability, and tenant evictions. In 2020, these efforts resulted in the City Council approving the Residential Tenant Protection Program, which requires minimum lease terms and greater relocation assistance payments than those required by the State. Pursuant to an Ordinance adopted in December 2022, on July 1, 2021, Concord's Rent Registry requirement went into effect for multifamily complexes of four or more units to track tenancy changes and rents.

In June 2021, the City Council directed staff to work with the Housing and Economic Development (HED) Committee to draft a residential tenant anti- harassment policy. In September and October 2021, the HED Committee discussed the policy and provided direction to staff. A draft of the policy was presented to City Council in December 2021, and reviewed by the HED Committee in March 2022. An ordinance formalizing this policy is expected to be adopted later this year.

B. Local Efforts to Remove Governmental Constraints
The City has taken several steps in recent years to remove governmental constraints hindering implementation of its General Plan. These include:
 Development Code revisions to clarify interpretations and streamline processing;  Implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan;
 Adoption of the Housing Element Update 2014-2022; and  Working with the Contra Costa Water District to reduce facility reserve charges for small ADUs, in an effort to add to the City's affordable housing inventory.

Major actions taken in this area during 2021 include:
 Adoption of a new ADU ordinance in July 2021, in conformance with State law;  Working with a design firm to develop publicly available pre-approved ADU plans to encourage the construction of ADUs, and reduce design and permitting costs for applicants. The plans were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Design Review Board in December 2021.
 The City utilized the development incentives in Senate Bill 35, Senate Bill 330, State Density Bonus Law, and the City’s Affordable Housing Incentive Program to streamline environmental review and approval for the development projects listed on page 5, which comprise a total of 376 units.

C. Housing Element Annual Progress Report
The Housing Element Annual Progress Report was prepared in accordance with guidelines issued by HCD and includes the following (Attachments 1):
 Table A – Housing Development Applications Submitted
 Table A2 – Annual Building Activity Report Summary – New Construction, Entitled, Permits and Completed Units
 Table B – Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress, Permitted Units Issued by Affordability
 Table C – Sites Identified or Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need  Table D – [Housing Element] Program Implementation Status  Table E – Commercial Development Bonus Approved
 Table F – Units Rehabilitated, Preserved, & Acquired for Alternative Adequate Sites
 Table G – Locally Owned Lands Included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory that have been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of
 Table H – Locally Owned Surplus Sites
 LEAP Reporting – Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Reporting Progress towards implementation of the updated Housing Element (2014-2022) includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Housing Element. Attachment 1, Table D provides more specific details and summarizes the implementation of each Housing Element policy and program to date. Attachment 2 presents updates on the Downtown Specific Plan since its adoption.

D. Progress in Meeting the City's Share of Regional Housing Needs Allocation Concord's “fair share” of the region’s housing need for the 2014-2022 planning period was determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments through the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. The RHNA for that period requires that the City to plan for 3,478 residential units within four income categories, as shown in Table 1 below. HCD regulations require the City to demonstrate that the remaining sites identified in the City’s Housing Element land inventory are adequate to meet the City’s RHNA at each income level.

Progress in Meeting Regional Housing Needs
In 2021, the City granted entitlements for 462 new housing units, issued building permits for 43 dwelling units, and issued certificates of occupancy for 59 units. No affordable units were issued building permits, and a certificate of occupancy was issued for 4 moderate-income units (at The Enclave townhomes). Thus, based on the City’s RHNA and its previous performance during past years, there is a remaining housing need of 2,923 housing units, as shown in Table 2 below. Note that Table 2 only considers issued building permits, not entitlements.

Not included in these numbers are the 20 rehabilitation projects completed in 2021 through the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program. Although this Program helps preserve Concord’s aging housing stock and provide residents with quality housing, HCD rules do not allow these units to be counted toward the City’s RHNA numbers. This is primarily because no affordability deed restrictions are placed on the rehabilitated units, and/or the rehabilitation is not considered to be “substantial” as defined by State law.

E. Accessory Dwelling Unit Update
On March 28, 2017, the City Council amended the Development Code to create a streamlined ministerial review process and reduced fees for ADUs. At that time, the

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
Council asked staff to provide regular updates on the number of ADUs that have been approved. The following table summarizes the number of ADUs that have received Planning Division approval and building permits.

2021 25 40
In 2021, building permits were issued for 40 ADUs located throughout the city (see Attachment 5 for map). The increased ADU activity shown by Table 2 demonstrates that the City’s Development Code amendments and reduced fees, along with State mandates, have reduced barriers to constructing ADUs, thereby adding to the City's affordable housing inventory. In 2021, the City further encouraged ADUs by adopting a new ADU ordinance with more permissive standards than State law.

F. SB 341 Annual Reporting Requirement for Housing Successor Agencies Under California Health & Safety Code Section 34176.l(f), housing successor agencies need to produce and post certain reports within six months of the prior calendar year.

The report includes a number of items that describes the Successor Agency's work and funding of affordable housing activities during the year. The report is to be posted on the City's website as well as included with the annual housing element report. Attachment 3 provides a summary of the Concord Housing Fund for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2021.

Financial Impact
Acceptance and submittal of the General Plan Annual Progress Report will not have a fiscal impact on the City.

Environmental Determination
The Annual Progress Report is merely for informational purposes and does not create or alter policy. Pursuant to the provisions of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15060(c), and/or 15378(b)(5), the General Plan Annual Progress Report is not considered a "project"

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.e
March 22, 2022
subject to the CEQA guidelines, and therefore, no further environmental review is required. To the extent such action does constitute a project, the recommended Council action is exempt from the pursuant CEQA Guidelines Sections 15306 as it consists of information collection and reporting, will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Ongoing
Ongoing. On March 28, 2017, the City Council amended the Development Code by permitting a new housing type - Junior Accessory Dwelling Units ("ADUs"). Additionally, the City updated our regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units by creating a streamlined ministerial process and reducing the fees. In October 2019, the City was awarded $310,000 in State SB 2 Planning Grants Program funds to encourage the construction of ADUs by offering pre-approved architectural plans to the public and a streamlined approval process through the City's Planning Division. In 2021, as part of this effort, the City hired a design firm to create the architectural and construction documents for various sized and styled ADUs. In December 2021, the ADU conceptual plans were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Design Review Board. The ADU construction documents are currently being prepared and are anticipated to be complete and made available to the public by summer of 2022. Also, in July 2022, the City adopted a new ADU ordinance in conformance with recent changes to State ADU laws.

H-1.4.1 Encourage duplex, condominiums,

Following the guidelines of the State Surplus Land Act, which prioritizes affordable housing development proposals in the disposal of public lands, staff is working on declaring Town Center II and the City-owned parcels located between Oak Street and Laguna Street as "surplus" land. Once
declared, staff will issue a Notice of Availability (NOA) to affordable housing developers. The timing of this process is dependent on direction from the Housing and Economic
Development Committee, which will provide guidance in
April 2022. Staff also continues to have on-going
discussions with developers on a potential project at the Terminal Shopping Center. Two major multi-family projects within the transit overlay were entitled in 2021: the Ashbury, a 313-unit project at 1650 Ashbury Dr., and RMG Affordable Housing, a 75-unit project at 1335 Galindo St.

On March 28, 2017, the City Council amended the Development Code by permitting a new housing type - Junior Accessory Dwelling Units.

The City has awarded $7.8 million to Resources for Community Development (RCD) for the construction of a 62-unit affordable housing development serving extremely low- and low-income households; this project was approved in 2020. In 2021, the City approved the RMG Affordable Housing project (75 units including 30 affordable units), and The Ashbury (313 affordable units); one BMR homeownership unit in the new 15-unit 1881 Whitman Road subdivision received its entitlements, and four newly constructed BMR homeownership units in the Willow Terrace subdivision received their Certificates of Occupancy. In October 2019, the City was awarded a State SB 2 Planning Grant to encourage ADUs by offering pre-approved architectural plans and a streamlined approval process. In 2021, as part of this effort, the City hired a design firm to create the architectural and construction documents for various sized and styled ADUs. In December 2021, the ADU conceptual plans were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Design Review Board. The ADU construction documents are currently being prepared and are anticipated to be complete and made available to the public by summer of 2022. In July 2021, the City adopted a new ADU ordinance in conformance with recent changes to State law.

Anti-displacement strategies were incorporated into the Housing Element Update in 2014. In July 2017, City Council approved the new Residential Rent Review Program where Concord tenants that experience rent increases of greater than 10% within a 12 month period can apply to have their rent reviewed. In 2019, the City established an Ad Hoc Committee on Rental Housing, which met to discuss the local housing market and recommend policy to address issues such as affordability, availability, and tenant evictions. In September 2021, a draft of the residential tenant anti-harassment policy was introduced to City Council, and subsequently reviewed by the City Council Committee on
Housing and Economic Development in March 2022; an
ordinance formalizing this policy is expected to be adopted in 2022. In July 2021, Concord's rent registry ordinance went into effect in order to track tenancy changes and rents.

Date: March 22, 2022
To: City Council
From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Prepared by: Joelle Fockler, MMC, City Clerk

(925) 671-3390
Subject: Considering adoption of a Resolution declaring the ability of the City Council, Local Reuse Authority, Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District, standing City Council Subcommittees, and all City boards, commissions (including the Planning Commission), and committees to continue to meet remotely, pursuant to AB 361.

CEQA: Not a project/exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), 15061(b)(3) and/or 15378.

Report in Brief
Adopt a Resolution declaring the ability of the City Council, Local Reuse Authority, Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District, standing City Council Subcommittees, and all City boards, commissions (including the Planning Commission), and committees to continue to meet remotely, pursuant to AB 361.

Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution declaring the ability of the City Council, Local Reuse Authority, Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District, standing City Council Subcommittees, and all City boards, commissions (including the Planning Commission), and committees to continue to meet remotely, pursuant to AB 361.

Background
On March 4, 2020, the Governor of the State of California (“Governor”) issued a Proclamation of a State of Emergency due to COVID-19. Such proclamation remains in effect, as are the facts, circumstances, and emergency under which it was issued.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda No. 5.f
March 22, 2022
On March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 allowing local legislative bodies to hold meetings via teleconference and to make meetings accessible electronically without violating the open meeting laws found in the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections 54950 et seq., “Brown Act”).

On March 19, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-12 ratifying the City of Concord Director of Emergency Services Proclamation of Local Emergency dated March 13, 2020.

Since the enactment of the Executive Order, local legislative bodies in California have been able to hold public meetings by “teleconference” (a term that includes video conferencing) without complying with all the following Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings.
 Give notice of each teleconference location from which a member will be participating in a public meeting and each teleconference location must be specifically identified in the meeting notice and agenda, including full address and room number;
 Each teleconference location must be accessible to the public;  Members of the public must be able to address the body at each teleconference location;
 Post agendas at all teleconference locations; and
 During teleconference meetings, at least a quorum of the members of the local body must participate from locations within the boundaries of the territory over which the local body exercises jurisdiction.

In March 2020, staff transitioned meetings to TEAMS and then Zoom for all City meetings. Zoom meetings have allowed the City Council, City Council Committees, and the City’s boards, commissions, and committees to continue to conduct City business from the safety of their homes. The usage of Zoom for public meetings for the last 18 months has allowed the City to ensure the public’s continued access to meetings while also ensuring the public’s safety.

On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which, among other things, rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.

The California state legislature adopted AB 361 as an urgency measure. AB 361 was signed by the Governor on September 16, 2021, and became effective immediately. AB 361 amends the Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to continue meeting remotely using teleconferencing and virtual meeting technology as long as there is (1) a

“state of emergency” pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(4) and (2) the local legislative body making certain findings including that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of Attendees.

On September 20, 2021, the Health Officer of the County of Contra Costa (“Health Officer”) issued recommendations, and on March 1, 2022, updated recommendations for safely holding public meetings, including strongly recommending teleconferencing meetings as those meetings present the lowest risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and further recommending social distancing and face masking of all Attendees: https://cchealth.org/covid19/pdf/recommendations-for-safe- public-meetings.pdf.

Since September 28, 2021, the City Council sitting as the City Council, Local Reuse Authority and Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District has adopted a Resolution every 30 days enabling the City to hold public meetings by teleconference. The most recent Resolution, City Council Resolution No. 22-13, Local Reuse Authority (LRA) Resolution No. 22-35, and Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District (CPHHCD) Resolution No. 22-026 was adopted on March 1, 2022, enabling the City to continue holding public meetings by teleconference through March 31, 2022. The City Council sitting as the City Council, Local Reuse Authority, and Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District must adopt a Resolution at tonight’s meeting to continue to hold public meetings by teleconference for the next 30 days, through April 21, 2022.

Analysis
The stated aim of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options” AB 361 allows local legislative bodies to meet remotely if there is a gubernatorial proclaimed “state of emergency” and a local legislative body finding that state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of Attendees.

If the state of emergency remains active for more than 30 days, a local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules.
 The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and  Either of the following circumstances exist: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.

The City Council must make findings regarding the circumstances of the emergency and vote to continue using the law’s exemptions every 30 days. Resolution No. 22-13,

To continue to be able to hold meetings by teleconference through April 21, 2022, the City Council must adopt a Resolution to continue using AB 361’s exemption, and the conditions under which such Resolution was passed are and remain in effect as of the date hereof.

Financial Impact
There is no financial impact.

Environmental Determination
This action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and/or 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

In addition, this action is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), “Review for Exemptions” of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and no further environmental review is required.

No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

The expected revenue for CPHHCD for FY 2022/23 is $233.639. The total recommended allocation for administration and programs for the CPHHCD in FY 2022/23 is $225,000. Of this amount, $160,000 has been approved and appropriated by Council as part of the biennial operating budget.

______________________________________________________________________ Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager sitting as the Executive Director to disburse funds and execute all attendant documents and agreements for fiscal year 2022/23 funding on behalf of the CPHHCD (subject to District Attorney approval), appropriate $65,000 from Concord / Pleasant Hill Health Care District Fund 530 Grants Funds, and accept and appropriate $25,000 from John Muir Health for administration of the program.

Background
In April, 2012, at the request of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the City of Concord submitted an application and operational plan proposing the establishment of the Mt. Diablo Health Care District (MDHCD) as a subsidiary district of the City of Concord, with the Concord City Council serving as the MDHCD Board.

LAFCO approved the plan and established MDHCD as a subsidiary district of the City of Concord, placing the Concord City Council in the role of the Board for the District.

Council, in its role as the Board for the MDHCD, adopted Resolution No. 12-001 establishing bylaws for MDHCD and authority to appropriate MDHCD funds. In July, 2013, the Board approved changing MDHCD’s name to the Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District (CPHHCD) to better reflect the district boundaries.

The CPHHCD established a citizen’s advisory committee whose role is to review grant applications and make funding recommendations to the CPHHCD Board. The CPHHCD Grant Committee (“Committee”) is comprised of five Concord residents appointed by Concord City Council and two Pleasant Hill residents appointed by the City of Pleasant Hill’s City Council.

The CPHHCD grant process starts with a two-year funding cycle followed by a three- year funding cycle. In the first year, a specific grant amount is awarded, and funding in Years 2 and 3 is based on funding availability and grantee performance. Contracts are issued on an annual basis and adjusted proportionally among all grantees to accommodate fluctuations in available funding. As FY 2022/23 is the second year of the current two-year funding cycle, no new applications were accepted.

Analysis
To provide local agencies with funding stability, the grant program operates on a two year cycle followed by a three year cycle. At the start of FY 2021/22, the Grant Committee recommended funding for the current two-year cycle to provide thirteen community health programs targeted to at-risk populations. These programs provide mental and physical health services, including healthy eating and childhood obesity prevention, as well as educational and preventative health, outreach to homeless residents, domestic violence support, and in-home care and independent living for the elderly and disabled.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.g
March 22, 2022
______________________________________________________________________ During the program year, sub-recipients submitted semi-annual progress reports detailing clients served and services provided, program income and expenditures, and any issues/challenges the program faced. City staff reviewed these reports to ensure that the goals and objectives of the program agreement were met. Recipients of FY 2021/22 funds that fulfilled contractual requirements for performance goals and appropriate expenditure of funds are recommended for FY 2022/23 funding by the Grant Committee. The Committee took this action at a public meeting on February 16, 2022. These recommendations are detailed in Exhibit A of the proposed Resolution.

Financial Impact
All funds allocated for CPHHCD grants are generated through property taxes within the Concord / Pleasant Hill Health Care District. The City receives twenty percent of the CPHHCD revenue for administration of the program. John Muir Health contributes $25,000 annually toward administration, with the balance paid from the property tax revenue. There is no impact to the City of Concord’s General Fund.

The expected revenue for CPHHCD in FY 2022/23 is $233,639. A total of $225,000 will be allocated for the coming year to maintain funding levels for the second year of the two-year cycle.

While twenty percent of this amount may be allocated for administration, the City is successful in running the program for less than that amount. For the coming year it is recommended that $35,000, approximately 15%, be allocated for program administration, including program staff salaries and benefits, and operating expenses such as database management, meetings/trainings and supplies. John Muir Health will contribute $25,000 of this amount, with the balance, $10,000, paid from the revenue.

It is recommended that funding in the amount of $190,000 be allocated to community health programs and $35,000 to program administration. The total recommended allocation for administration and programs for FY 2022/23 is $225,000. Of this amount, $160,000 has been approved and appropriated as part of the biennial operating budget.

An additional $65,000 in appropriations is required to meet the FY 2022/23 funding recommendation of $225,000.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the allocation of CPHHCD funds supporting community health programs to at-risk populations does not constitute a “project,” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b), and 15378 because there is no potential that the activity will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, even if activity this were determined to be a “project” for CEQA analysis, this activity falls within the "common sense" CEQA

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CONCORD/PLEASANT HILL HEALTH CARE
DISTRICT BOARD DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. CEQA. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the allocation of CPHHCD funds supporting community health programs to at-risk populations does not constitute a “project,” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b), and 15378 because there is no potential that the activity will result in a direct or Attachment 1

Res. No. xx-xx 2
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, even if activity this were determined to be a “project” for CEQA analysis, this activity falls within the "common sense" CEQA exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Section 2. That the City Manager sitting as Executive Director is authorized to disburse funds and execute all attendant documents and agreements (subject to District Attorney approval), consistent with the Board of Director’s designation and approval of the programs, activities and projects to be undertaken during FY 2022/23 as designated in Exhibit A of the report, entitled FY 2022/23 Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District Funding Recommendations.

Section 3. That the Executive Director is authorized to appropriate $65,000 from Concord/Pleasant Hill Health Care District Fund 530 grants funds, and accept and appropriate $25,000 from John Muir Health for administration of the program.

Section 4. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption. //
