Investment Portfolio Benefits all Funds
The City’s cash and investment portfolio represents money from all City funds, including the General Fund, Enterprise funds, Capital Projects funds, and other funds, which are restricted to specific purposes.
In general, monies held by the City are allocated by the City Council for spending or are purposefully retained in reserves. For example, the money in the Capital Projects fund has been identified to provide particular capital projects for the community and there is a plan for spending down the cash balance as the projects progress. In the General Fund, approximately $41 million is purposely held in reserve to meet the City’s reserve policy of a minimum of 17% and a goal of 30% of operating expenditures. Due to the schedule of when the City receives revenues throughout the year, cash reserves typically dip in the months of July through December until the first installment of Property Taxes are received in December. Typically, 33% of our General Fund revenues are received as of December 31.
Compliance with Reserve Policy is measured at the end of the City’s fiscal year, June 30.
Below is a chart showing the composition of the cash and investment portfolio included in the December 31, 2022 Treasurer’s Report. It is important to understand that the only money not already allocated (but not yet spent) or restricted for a specific purpose is the General Fund Emergency Reserve, which is shown in the pie chart on the chart below in gray.
Fund Descriptions:
General Fund is the City’s operating fund that accounts for general purpose revenues and expenses and are by definition unrestricted. The Cash and Investments in the General Fund is comprised of the following categories: 1) Assignments and Restrictions for obligations already entered into but not yet paid; 2) Advances to Other funds which primarily represent advances to the Local Reuse Authority for the Naval Weapons Station redevelopment project and to the Golf Course for improvements at that facility; and 3) Emergency Reserve funds that are retained per Council Policy to address financial uncertainties.
Enterprise Funds report operations that are operating in a manner similar to a private business enterprise.
The Sewer Fund is the largest fund in this category and is legally restricted to be used only for sewer related activities.
Special Revenue Funds account for funds where the source of revenue is dedicated and restricted to a specific purpose. Housing funds, State Gas Tax funds and Assessment District funds represent examples of these types of funds.
Capital Projects Funds are used to track the financial resources set aside to acquire and/or construct major capital assets.
Internal Service Funds (ISF) are established to account for special activities and services performed by a designated department for other departments on a cost -reimbursement basis or replacement of necessary equipment . Examples include Worker’s Compensation, Fleet Maintenance/Replacement, Information Technology, and Building Maintenance fund. Funds are restricted by policy through the City Council and spent in accordance with the program/equipment they are designated to support.
Trust Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as a trustee agent for individuals, private organizations, and other governments. Examples include the City of Concord Retirement System Pension Fund and the Successor Agency Private Purpose Trust Fund.

Recommended Action
Approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Bellecci & Associates of Concord, California, in the not-to-exceed amount of $735,344 (base agreement of $612,787 plus Staff authority to spend up to $122,557) to provide design and related services for Monument Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2581) on Monument Boulevard from Detroit Avenue to City Limits; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
Background
The Monument Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Project No. 2581) (Project) will involve pavement rehabilitation on Monument Boulevard from the City limits at the Walnut Creek Bridge to Detroit Avenue. Work will also include the installation/upgrades of curb ramps at intersections, minor concrete repairs, adjustment of utilities, and adjustment of pedestrian push buttons to meet accessibility standards, restriping, and installation of high visibility crosswalks as shown on the Bike and Pedestrian Safe Routes to Transit Master Plan.
The Bike and Pedestrian Safe Routes to Transit Master Plan lists Monument Boulevard from the City limits at the Walnut Creek Bridge to Detroit Avenue as a “complete streets study” section. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements will be considered during the design.
The design will coordinate with the design and construction of the Galindo Street Pavement Rehabilitation (Project No. 2452) at Detroit Avenue. The road widening at 1650 Monument Boulevard, originally part of Monument Boulevard Improvements (Project Nos. 2319 and 2445), is now included in the Project.
City Council on June 1, 2020, approved the proposed Five-Year Pavement Expenditure plan, which included the Project.
In June 8, 2021, the City Council adopted the mid-cycle adjustments to the CIP Budget for Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2022-23, which an included appropriation of $1,660,000 to fund the design and $6,006,000 in Fiscal Year 2023-24 to fund the construction of the Project.
Analysis
Engineering design services are needed to initiate project design, and develop project plans, specifications, and final construction cost estimates. The vicinity map for the Project is shown in Attachment 1.
The preliminary schedule calls for design to begin in April 2023 and be completed in December 2023. Following design, staff will advertise for construction bids; advertising a paving project in fall/winter period will lead to more competitive bid prices.
Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2024.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.b

Procurement Process
Staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) to select a design consultant and related services on December 28, 2022. The RFP was advertised in the local newspaper and on the City’s Procurement Website. One proposal was received and was reviewed and evaluated by City Staff from Engineering Services and Public Works.
Based on the City analysis and review of references, Bellecci & Associates (Bellecci) was determined to be qualified to provide design and related services for the Project.
City staff and Bellecci negotiated the scope of work, cost of the services, and agreed that $612,787 was fair and reasonable compensation for the services needed to complete the design phase of the Project. Bellecci has extensive experience in the design of similar civil engineering projects and surveying. They successfully completed the design of several similar Capital Improvements with the City, with the most recent project Meadow Lane/Market Street Paving Project (Project No. 2582).
Financial Impact
The current project budget, which includes Measure V Funds (Fund 407), is sufficient to fully fund the cost of this design work. The estimated total costs for design and construction of the Project is $7,663,000.
Environmental Determination
This design activity does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) or CEA Guidelines Section 15378 because there is no potential that it will result in a direct or reasonable foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if the activity does comprise a project for CEQA analysis, it 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. Individual projects will undergo CEQA analysis as necessary.

Recommended Action
Considering the adoption of a Resolution authorizing the submittal and reimbursement of applications for CalRecycle rubberized pavement grants over the next five years; authorizing joint application submittals; and authorizing the City Engineer to revise the list of participants in joint projects and negotiate and execute documents related to requests for and/or acceptance of CalRecycle funds.
Background
In July 2019 the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) released a call for projects to fund under its 2019/20 Rubberized Pavement Program.
CalRecycle administers the program to provide opportunities to divert waste tires from landfill disposal, prevent illegal tire dumping, and promote markets for recycled-content tire products. It was aimed to encourage the use of two rubberized pavement types – Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) and Rubberized Chip Seal (Chip Seal). The City of Concord (City) has used recycled rubber materials in its past pavement projects, including hot mix rubberized asphalt on Denkinger Road, Oak Grove Road, and various streets in the North/South Larwin Avenue neighborhoods.
Analysis
Completed projects that were approved as part of the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program includes Denkinger Road Pavement Rehabilitation (Project No. 2459), Oak Grove Road Pavement Rehabilitation - Phase 2 (Project No 2423), and Pavement Maintenance - Zone 4 (Project No. 2444). By using Recycled Asphalt Concrete (RAC) in those projects, an estimated 31,640 used tires have been diverted from landfills and were recycled and reused in our City streets. A total amount of $261,309.40 for Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) reimbursement was submitted to CalRecycle on February 28, 2023. This Resolution is now required in order for CalRecycle to approve reimbursement.
City staff (Staff) is planning to submit a Grant Application for the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Grant Program for FY 2024-2025, which will open in September 2023.
Adoption of the attached Resolution preauthorizes staff to submit grant applications and execute agreements with CalRecycle over the next five-year period, including participation in regional grant projects should they arise.
Adoption of the Resolution will streamline the administrative work that staff must perform when pursuing these funding opportunities.
Environmental Determination

CEQA: Not a project/exempt per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15302, and 15304.
Report in Brief
The Hillcrest Park Regional Green Infrastructure Project has experienced delays due to inclement weather and the discovery of a 4-inch PG&E gas main conflict that stopped work at the intersection of Olivera Road and Arnold Industrial Place, where an underground trash capture device was to be installed as part of the project. Due to the delay while PG&E relocates their gas line, and the amount of contract change orders to date, the project requires additional funding to complete the project in its entirety. The additional funds from the budget transfers will cover all estimated contract change orders to complete the project and add funds to UNICO Engineering’s existing professional services agreement (PSA) to provide construction management and inspection services throughout project duration to accommodate the delays in construction and additional time required on site.
Previously, City Staff requested (and was authorized) to utilize a 5% contingency on both Ghilloti Bros, Inc.’s existing construction contract (contingency of $192,137.08 out of the $3,842,741.50 construction contract), and UNICO Engineering’s original PSA (contingency of $15,039.45 out of the $315,828.54 PSA). A minimal contingency of 5% was set because of the limited funding available at the time of contract award; however, given the delays and contract change orders to date, an increase in contingency is needed to complete the project. Typically, contract contingencies on large projects of this nature range from 10% to 15% of the contract value, and the increase in contingency for this project is still within the typical range.
PG&E’s gas line relocation on Olivera Road near the intersection of Arnold Industrial Place is expected to be complete by the end of April, and the large underground trash capture device near the Olivera/Arnold Industrial intersection is to be installed by Ghilotti Bros, Inc. shortly after, with project completion expected by June this year.
Recommended Action
For the Hillcrest Park Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project No. 2512):
1. Authorize City Staff to utilize up to 12% contingency (increase from 5% contingency of $192,137.08 to 12% contingency of $461,128.98) of the existing construction contract with Ghilotti Bros, Inc. for contract change orders that become necessary to complete the project.
2. Authorize City Staff to utilize up to 15% contingency (increase from 5% contingency of $15,039.45 to 15% contingency of $45,131.87) on the existing Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with UNICO Engineering, to provide additional construction management and inspection services to complete the

project; and authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract amendment in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
3. Approve budget transfers in the total amount of $299,079.82 to the Hillcrest Park Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project No. 2512), including $253,947.55 from PJ 2443 (Pavement Maintenance Zone 3, Fund 401); and $45,132.27, from PJ 2521 (Full Trash Capture Devices #4, Fund 270).
Background
On June 2, 2020, the City Council (Council) adopted the Fiscal Year 2020-21 and 2021- 22 Two-year CIP Budget that included an appropriation of $200,000 from the Storm Water Fund for the Hillcrest Community Park – Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project), intended to provide the anticipated local match for a future grant or agency partnership opportunity. Concurrent with the development of, and public hearing process for, the adoption of the CIP Budget, City staff had been working collaboratively with Caltrans to obtain funding approval through a Cooperative Implementation Agreement (CIA) to fully fund the design and construction of the Project. On June 1, 2020, the City received confirmation from the Regional Water Quality Control Board of the required approval of the Project. Subsequently, the City obtained Caltrans approval of the draft CIA, for which City Council approval by Resolution had to be returned to Caltrans no later than June 15, 2020.
On June 9, 2020, Council approved the Cooperative Implementation Agreement (CIA) with Caltrans with the goal of pollutant reduction in storm water runoff generated from both Caltrans Right-of-Way and the City of Concord, in which Caltrans agreed to provide funding of the Hillcrest Community Park – Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project No. 2512). As part of the CIA, Caltrans agreed to provide $4.3 million in funding for the project’s design and construction, with $1 million required to be spent by May 2022, $2 million by May 2023, and $1.3 million by May 2024. City Staff has worked diligently to ensure that the initial $1 million in funding did not lapse. The May 2022 deadline was met by Council approving purchasing materials prior to construction.
As a result of public outreach during design in fall 2021, new park and community improvements were added to the Project, including new lighting for the western and eastern parking lots, irrigation main replacements at the park, and new pump equipment for storm water re-use. The Project’s budget covered the estimated costs of these improvements, and as a result, the improvements were included in the bid documents.
Design for the Project was completed in April 2022, and the Project was advertised for construction.
On June 14, 2022, City Council awarded a construction contract in the amount $3,842,741.50 to Ghilotti Bros., Inc. for the Hillcrest Park Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project No. 2512); authorizing Staff to utilize the available project contingency for contract change orders that become necessary up to 5% of the contract amount

($192,137.08). City Council also approved a Professional Services Agreement with UNICO Engineering in the not-to-exceed amount of $315,828.54 (base agreement of $300,789.09 plus staff authority to spend up to a 5% contingency of $15,039.45) to provide construction management, inspection, and materials testing services for the Hillcrest Park Regional Green Infrastructure Project (Project No. 2512).
In the same meeting, City Council approved an amendment to Caltrans’ Cooperative Implementation Agreement with City, which provides additional funding in the amount of $800,000.00 from Caltrans, and budget transfers totaling $500,000 to allow the City to proceed with construction. This brought the total funding of the Project to $5.8 million ($5.1 million from Caltrans).
In August 2022, Ghilotti Bros, Inc. encountered a 4-inch PG&E gas line in conflict with the location of the underground trash capture device’s proposed location, and City staff immediately completed an application with PG&E to expeditiously relocate the gas line.
PG&E was provided with all known information and completed their relocation design in January 2023. PG&E is expected to begin construction on their relocation mid to late March and complete by the end of April.
Analysis
The industry standard for project contingencies are typically 10-15% of the contract amount. The Project initially began with only a 5% contingency and the increases to contingency are still within the typical range for City projects. The reason for starting with 5% contingency was due to limited funding available from other sources outside of Caltrans and was an attempt at maximizing the proportion of Caltrans’ vs City’s funding contributions to the Project.
Construction Contract Contingency Increase:
City staff has estimated the amount of additional contingency required to complete the Project based on the contract change orders executed to date, and to cover additional contract change orders that are forthcoming, including a remobilization cost for the Contractor to install the underground trash capture device at the Olivera/Arnold intersection at a later date, as well as actual costs of excavation and material quantities exceeding that estimated in design.
Construction Management & Inspection Services Contingency Increase UNICO Engineering has provided City staff a proposal for additional hours in order maintain coverage during construction through the new projected construction end date of June 2023. Although all work in the actual park is expected to be completed by the end of March, the underground trash capture device installation at the intersection of Olivera Road and Arnold Industrial Place will require additional time in May, once PG&E completes their gas line relocation work in April.

Agenda Item No. 3.d

Financial Impact & Budget Transfer Required
The current total budget for the Project is $5,800,000 (including $5,100,000 from Caltrans via Fund 402, and smaller amounts totaling $700,000 from Funds 401 and Storm Drain Fund 270).
There are currently not enough funds to cover the increase in contingencies above the initial 5% for both Ghilotti Bros Inc.’s construction contract and UNICO’s PSA. To cover this, budget transfers totaling the amount of $299,079.82 are required from different projects/sources, as follows: $253,947.55 from PJ 2443 (Pavement Maintenance Zone 3, Fund 401) which is a completed project with these funds available for transfer; and $45,132.27 from PJ 2521 (Full Trash Capture Devices #4, Fund 270) which is a future project and retains sufficient budget for design and will need additional funding, with or without this budget transfer, for construction (the additional funding would be proposed as part of the next 2-year CIP).
Environmental Determination
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060 (c), 15061 (b)(3), 15273, 15378, and Public Resources Code Section 21065, modifying contingency for these contracts is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The initial award of the construction contract is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement and Reconstruction, and 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land. No unusual circumstances exist and none of the exceptions under CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 applies. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis. The Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk’s office following the Council award of the construction contract.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
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 Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Recommended Action
Accept the General Plan Annual Progress Report for 2022, including the Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Downtown Concord Specific Plan Annual Progress Report, and authorize its submittal to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and to the California 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 the City of Concord’s (City) case is the City Council (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 (2022 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 its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), 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
Status of the General Plan Implementation Progress
In 2007, the City updated its General Plan, the Concord 2030 Urban Area General Plan.
The following discussion summarizes implementation actions for the various elements of the General Plan during calendar year 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
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
such as housing, business, industry, public facilities, and open space. It includes policies and a land use diagram. The primary achievements during 2022 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 2022, the downtown welcomed the opening of Beard Papas and Teaspoon, and celebrated the fifth anniversary of La Fritanguera. The south building of the Grant Street Apartments also opened, making 89 new units available in the Downtown. (The north building opened in January 2023, bringing the total to 228 units.) A building permit was also issued for Resources for Community Development’s Rick Judd Commons (formerly known as Galindo Terrace), which will provide a total of 62 units, including 53 units affordable to very-low-income households, eight units affordable to low-income households, and one market-rate unit for a manager.
Attachment 4 provides the current annual household income limits in order to qualify for restricted affordable housing units. Demolition and grading permits were issued as the first construction step in the construction of the 181-unit Blue Oak Square (formerly The Argent) project and the 75-unit RMG project; however, these units will not appear on the APR because HCD requires issuance of a building permit (which occurred in March 2023).
The City declared three parcels, the Town Center II (white picket fence site) and the two Oak and Laguna Streets properties, as surplus. A Notice of Availability was issued for the Town Center II site allowing for the submittal of proposals for the development of affordable housing on this property.
The Music & Market and Tuesday Night Blues concert series brought 100,000 visitors to the downtown from June to September. The City also sponsored Creative Concord, a new civic art program, that brought nine new large-scale murals to the downtown on privately-owned building facades.
Utilizing federal American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) funding, the City awarded pandemic relief grants to several downtown businesses, including Cinnaholic, Fix That Mac, La Fritanguera, Milano Ice Cream, Rockin’ Robbie’s, Sugar Plum Diner, Swagat Indian Cuisine, and more.

2. Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Safe Routes to Transit Master Plan: On September 27, 2016, Council adopted the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan (Plan). The Plan includes three tiers of projects totaling $146 million. In 2017, 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 City staff (Staff) or Council.
In 2022, BPAC reviewed the following projects:
Chestnut Avenue Bicycle Boulevard: This project makes Chestnut Avenue a bicycle boulevard (Class III bicycle route), which is crucial for preparing for future bicycle network connections with the Farm Bureau Road Phase III project. The project was completed on October 25, 2022.1 Meadow Lane / Market Street Paving Project – Proposed Bicycle Facilities: This project involves pavement rehabilitation on Meadow Lane from Monument Blvd to Market Street, and then up Market Street to just south of Willow Pass Road, with related pedestrian and ADA improvements.
Construction is anticipated to start in May 2023 and finish in September 2023. Pine Hollow Road Complete Streets Feasibility Study
Recommendations: Identified as a recommended project in the City’s Plan, this corridor serves as an important connection between schools, parks, as well as residential and recreation areas within the cities of Concord and Clayton. The study also addresses truck traffic. The City Council approved the study in August 2022. Staff then applied for an Active Transportation Program grant to advance design and construction of improvements identified in the study, but received notification in January 2023 that the application was not successful. Staff is currently seeking other funding opportunities. Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP): The LRSP proactively evaluates collision history citywide to identify trends and hotspots to be addressed, as well as countermeasures that can be implemented to prioritize safety and decrease/eliminate the amount of traffic-related deaths and serious injuries on City streets. The LRSP will also assist the City when it applies for safety infrastructure funding. After incorporation of the BPAC’s comments, the LRSP was completed in August 2022 and adopted by the City Council on August 23, 2022.
Oak Grove Road Pavement Rehabilitation Phase 3: This project will complete the re-paving work along Oak Grove Road after previous phases 1 This project did not require City Council acceptance because the contract amount was less than the informal bid threshold of $200,000.

Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
were completed in 2016 and 2020, as well as fiber optic conduit, ADA upgrades, and a high-visibility crosswalk at the high school entrance.
Construction is anticipated to start in May 2023 and finish in September 2023. Pavement Maintenance – Zone 5J: This project includes pavement rehabilitation on the streets identified and upgrading curb ramps throughout the neighborhood. The project will also construct curb ramps to meet accessibility standards, adjust utilities for pavement construction, and update traffic striping and pavement markings. Construction is anticipated to start in May 2023 and finish in November 2023.
Residential Pavement Design, Phase A: This is part of a series of projects to rehabilitate pavement in six residential neighborhoods, while also upgrading curb ramps and installing updated striping and signage.
Construction is anticipated to start in June 2023 and finish no earlier than December 2023.
Treat Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation Project: This project will restore pavement along Treat Boulevard from the Walnut Creek city limits to Clayton Road, including ADA upgrades, bike lanes where feasible, and conduits for future fiber optics. Construction for Phase 1 (Walnut Creek city limits to San Miguel Road) is anticipated to start in May 2023 and finish in December 2023.
Phase 2 (San Miguel Road to Clayton Road) is currently in design and construction is anticipated to start in April 2024 and finish in November 2024. Proposed Projects for Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Cycle 2023 Application: On September 14, 2022, the BPAC considered the following projects for this application and recommended the Sun Terrace Elementary School Crossing Enhancements (see details below). o Willow Pass Park Crossing Project: This project would install crosswalks along Salvio Street between the two fields of the park, Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), sidewalk, and curb ramps. The BPAC did not recommend this project for TDA grant funding and staff is saving the project as a potential 2024 TDA application.
o Port Chicago Highway Sidewalk Gap Closure: This project would install concrete sidewalk from Panoramic Drive to the SR-4 on-ramp, as shown in the City’s Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan. This project was recommended by the County BPAC in 2021.
The City’s BPAC did not recommend this project for TDA grant funding and staff is saving the project as a potential 2024 TDA application. o Sun Terrace Elementary School Crossing Enhancements, TDA Grant Cycle 2023: This project would enhance and provide safe crossings and traffic calming for students and parents accessing the school along Floyd Lane. Based on the BPAC’s recommendation, staff

has filed a TDA grant application for the project, and is anticipating a decision on this application in August 2023.
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 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 Rick Judd Commons (formerly known as Galindo Terrace). A portion of the construction cost is covered by the Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (STI) component. The project design was completed at the end of 2022, with construction anticipated to start in March 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 2022 include:
A cannabis storefront retailer at 1847 Willow Pass Road (Coastal); A cannabis microbusiness with storefront retail at 2366 Stanwell Circle (CoCo Farms);
17 attached residential townhomes at 1200 Detroit Avenue (The Villas at Walters Way);
A cannabis microbusiness for Fiacre (cultivation, manufacturing, non- storefront retail, and distribution) at 2550 Stanwell Drive; A new cannabis storefront and delivery retail business at 1045 Galaxy Way (Authentic Concord);
A preschool for 100 children at 2950 Treat Boulevard (Kidz Planet); A 60,000 square foot light industrial building on Bates Avenue between Mallard and Sprig Drives;
Six attached townhomes at 1461 Lark Lane (Lark Lane Townhomes); and A new Chick-fil-A restaurant at 1981 Diamond Boulevard.
The City also extended or amended prior approvals for the following projects:
The Brenden Theatres Use Permit amendment allowing a 1,600 square foot expansion for a new attached restaurant; and
The Walnut Grove Major Subdivision Amendment, extending the permit by two years and increasing the number of single-family dwellings from 8 to 14,

including two units affordable to low-income households and one unit affordable to moderate-income households.
5. Concord Naval Weapons Station: The 2012 Concord Reuse Project 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 October 26, 2021, the City Council, sitting as the Local Reuse Authority (LRA) approved an Exclusive Agreement to Negotiate (ENA) between the City and the Concord First Partners, LLC (CFP) team after public consideration. The ENA outlined the negotiation steps and performance timelines for considering a Term Sheet and subsequent actions necessary to implement the project. On May 24, 2022, the LRA extended the ENA’s Preliminary State for consideration of a Term Sheet to January 31, 2023. During much of 2022, LRA staff and a team of City consultants met regularly with CFP to review and comment on the details of CFP’s proposed land use plan, evaluate its financial proforma for the project, and negotiate the Term Sheet, which is an outline of key terms in a detailed contract anticipated to be drafted by the relevant parties.
By November 2022, LRA staff and City staff had come to agreement on the negotiation of a Term Sheet. On November 16, 2022, notification of two Community presentations was sent out via email to the Reuse Project’s interested parties list.
On November 30, 2022, the staff report and Term Sheet were made available to the City Council/LRA and the public. On December 1 and 15, 2022 community presentations of the Term Sheet were held at the City’s Senior Center to obtain public input in advance of a Special City Council/LRA meeting in January. On January 7, 2023, the City Council/LRA considered the acceptance of CFP’s Term Sheet for the development of 2,275 acres at the Concord Naval Weapons Station and whether to direct staff to proceed to the Disposition and Development Agreement stage of the Negotiation Period, as defined in the ENA. At the January 7, 2023 meeting, as a result of presentations by LRA staff and CFP, Council/LRA questions, and public comments, over the course of a 9-hour meeting, the Council/LRA, closed the public comment period and continued the meeting to January 28, 2023. On January 28, 2023, the Council/LRA continued the earlier meeting, asking staff and CFP questions and then continued with deliberations. In conclusion, the Council/LRA rejected (by a vote of 3-2) the CFP Term Sheet and directed staff to let the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with CFP expire on January 31, 2023.
On March 14, 2023, the City Council/LRA considered options and recommendations on retaining a new Master Developer, and provided direction to move forward with a hybrid Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process. Staff anticipates providing a draft RFQ for the City Council/LRA’s review, approval and issuance in May 2023.

6. Former Coast Guard Housing Site: On June 23, 2021, the City Council held a special meeting and conducted a study session on a Preliminary Application for the site. 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. On March 2, 2022 and August 9, 2022, staff provided letters to the applicant in response to their pre-submittal meeting requests and preliminary project materials. On December 13, 2022 and January 5, 2023, City staff met with the applicants to discuss the oil pipelines which travel through the site. The property owners have indicated they will be submitting a formal application in 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 feedback 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 2022.
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 2022.
The Hampton Inn Hotel, a 48,100 square foot, 86-room hotel within the downtown area, was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission in 2020, and approved by the Council on January 5, 2021. The hotel will provide new revenue to the City through increased transient occupancy taxes (TOT). In addition, the project is also within the TBID (Tourism Business Improvement District) and will provide funding toward Visit Concord, a non-profit aimed to increase tourism to Concord. The Hampton Inn Hotel has an estimated opening date of early May 2023.
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
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
for this Element is ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Element’s policies. No updates were made to this Element in 2022.
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.

No amendments were made to this Element in 2022.
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. No updates were made to this Element in 2022.
Housing Element Update
The City's 2014-2022 Housing Element Update (2014-2022 HEU) was adopted on January 6, 2015, after considerable public input throughout a year-long process. The 2014-2022 HEU 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.
The City has prepared a draft 2023-2031 HEU for Council adoption on March 14, 2023; however because this document does not apply to 2022, the following discussion is based on the 2014-2022 HEU. Staff made progress on the following five notable Housing Element programs in 2022, including:
H-1.3.1: Encourage the development of small lot subdivisions and continue to implement standards for small-lot single family homes.
The Walnut Grove subdivision was amended and increased the approved number of homes from eight to 14 and utilized the small lot subdivision standards for the increase in the number of lots and homes.
H-1.5.1: Facilitate the development of housing that is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households through
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e

medium and high density zoning and mixed-use zoning, density bonuses land write-downs, priority permit processing, direct subsidies and other financial incentives, if available; and
H-1.5.10: Examine opportunities to develop public/private partnerships with experienced partners to create affordable housing through the City's provision of land, incentives, or partial funding.
o The City issued building permits for the Rick Judd Commons project (61 affordable units).
o The City held TEFRA hearings and approved the release of municipal bonds for the following deed-restricted affordable units: The Lakes Apartments (77 market-rate units converted to affordable housing) and Blue Oak Square (formally The Argent) (179 affordable units). o The City entitled one, moderate-income Below Market-Rate Homeownership unit located within the Villa’s at Walter’s Place project. o In 2022, the City began the process of updating its Affordable Housing Ordinance, including its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance to further facilitate the construction of affordable multi-family rental and homeownership units.
o The City participated in several on-going discussions with for profit and nonprofit housing developers alike who are interested in developing affordable housing on specific Concord parcels.
o As discussed in more detail below, on November 2, 2022, the City issued a Notice of Availability on the Town Center II site to seek development proposals from affordable housing developers.
H-1.8.1: Encourage the production of ownership & rental housing in Downtown that is attractive & affordable to moderate & above-moderate income households.
In 2022, the south building of the Grant Street Apartments opened with 89 above-moderate income units. (The 139-unit north building opened in January 2023.) Two projects, Villas at Walters Way and Lark Lane, were approved for a total of 23 units affordable to moderate- and above-moderate income households.
2.1.1: Utilize public funds to provide assistance in the rehabilitation & conservation of deteriorated single-family homes, multi-family developments & mobile homes.
In 2022, 20 single-family and mobile homes were rehabilitated for low-income homeowners through the City's Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program.
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
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. This includes identifying policies to address this risk.
The City continues to make several strides in the identification and implementation of this effort. Most recently, in July of 2022, the City’s Residential Tenant Anti-Harassment Policy went into effect. The purpose of this Ordinance is to prevent landlords and their representatives from harassing their tenants, to encourage landlords to follow the law and uphold their responsibility to provide habitable rental properties, and to give tenants legal recourse through the adopted Ordinance when they are subjected to harassment by owners.
Additional efforts in recent years include:
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 state AB 1482 legislation.
On July 1, 2021, Concord's Rent Registry program went into effect to track tenancy changes and rents for multifamily complexes of four or more units.
On May 24, 2022, the City Council declared three parcels as surplus land: Town Center II (1765 Galindo St.), and the two Oak Street parcels (bounded by Galindo Street, Oak Street, and Laguna Street, and the BART parking lot). On November 2, 2022, the City issued a Notice of Availability (NOA) providing notification of its intent to sell the Town Center II property. Responses from prospective developers were received in January 2023 and are currently being evaluated. The City will issue an NOA for the Oak Street parcels at a future date, once a traffic analysis for potential abandonment of the public right-of-way between these parcels has been completed.
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 DCSP;
Adoption and implementation of the 2014-2022 HEU; and
City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 3.e
March 28, 2023
Working with the Contra Costa Water District to reduce facility reserve charges for small Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), in an effort to add to the City's affordable housing inventory.
Major actions taken in this area during 2022 include:
Working with a design firm to develop publicly available pre-approved working drawings for ADUs, to encourage construction of ADUs by reducing design and permitting costs. In December 2022, the working drawings were 90% complete, and the full drawings now have a tentative release date in March 2023. The City approved development incentives under state Density Bonus Law for the Walnut Grove Subdivision Amendment, for a total of 14 units.

March 28, 2023
Implementation of the 2014-2022 HEU includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Housing Element policies and programs. 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 DCSP 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 RHNA process. The RHNA for that period requires that the City 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 2022, the City granted entitlements for 73 new housing units, issued building permits for 144 units, and issued certificates of occupancy for 126 units. Although no affordable units were issued a certificate of occupancy, four affordable units were granted entitlements, and 61 units were issued building permits. Thus, based on the City’s RHNA and its previous performance during past years, there is a remaining housing need of 2,705 housing units, as shown in Table 2 below. Note that Table 2 only considers issued building permits, not entitlements.2
Not included in these numbers are the 20 rehabilitation projects completed in 2022 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 2 As noted earlier, building permits for the 181-unit Blue Oak Square (formerly The Argent) project and the 75-unit RMG project were issued March 2023, and these units will be reported on the APR for 2023. Blue Oak Square includes 22 units for extremely low-income, 22 for very low-income, 135 for low-income households, and two manager’s units, and RMG includes 15 units for very-low-income households, 15 units for low-income households, and 45 units for above moderate-income households.

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 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. Page 14 of 72 City Council Agenda Report

In 2022, building permits were issued for 42 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 changes to state law, have reduced barriers to constructing ADUs, thereby adding to the City's affordable housing inventory. In 2022, the City further encouraged ADUs by adopting a new ADU ordinance with more permissive standards than state law. The availability of pre-approved ADU plans will further encourage ADUs beginning in 2023.
F. SB 341 Annual Reporting Requirement for Housing Successor Agencies Under California Health & Safety Code Section 34176.1(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, 2022.
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" 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.
