ECONOMIC UPDATE
2

▪
▪
▪
The near-term economic outlook continues to be distorted by the data delays from the government shutdown. Recently released government data—reflecting conditions from two to three months ago—indicate inflation remains moderately above the Federal Reserve’s target, while labor market conditions have continuedto soften. As the flow of economic data normalizes, the Chandler team expects further yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve moves the policy rate toward a more neutral range. U.S. trade and fiscal policy also remain sources of elevated market uncertainty.

The Federal Reserve's December Federal Open Market Committee meeting concluded with the third consecutive 25-basis-point rate cut in 2025, lowering the target range to 3.50%–3.75%. However, policymakers remain divided on the path forward. Four Fed governors project one additional 25-basis-point cut in 2026, another four anticipateno further easing, eight expect multiple cuts, and three call for a potential rate hike. Chair Jerome Powell noted that the Fed is now “well placed to wait and see” how labor market conditions and inflation evolve in the near term.

The US Treasury yield curve steepened in December, as the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 2 basis points to 3.48%, the 5-year Treasury was up 13 basis points to 3.73%, and the 10-year Treasury yield was 15 basis points higher at 4.17%. The spread between the 2-year and 10- year Treasury yield points on the curve was 17 basis points wider from November at +69 basis points at December month-end. The spread between the 2-year Treasury and 10-year Treasury yield one year ago was +33 basis points. The spread between the 3-month and 10-year Treasury yield points on the curve was +54 basis points in December versus +21 basis points in November.

This follows a downwardly revised gain of 56,000 in November. Employment declines were most pronounced in retail trade and construction, while leisure and hospitality posted the strongest gains. Notably, the unemployment rate edged down to 4.4% after increasing to 4.6% in November.

The Labor Department’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) reported that job openings fell to 7.1 million in November from a downwardly revised 7.4 millionin October. The dropin vacancies, alongside slower hiring, suggests the labor market continues to soften, though employers remain cautious about laying off workers. The number of openings now roughly matches the number of unemployed individuals, pointing to a labor market that is approaching equilibrium.

Inflation came in lower than expectedin November, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.7% year over year and core CPI easing to

2.6%. Notably, both Owners’ Equivalent Rent and Rent of Primary Residence contributed to the slowdown in services inflation. Shelter costs typically lag broader market trends by 12 to 18 months. Services, meanwhile, have remained the dominant driver of inflation throughout the post-pandemic period. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index for September, released on December 5, showed headline inflation up 0.3% from August and 2.8% year over year. Core PCE rose 0.2% on the month and 2.8% on an annual basis.

Eight of thirteen major categories posted gains, while motor vehicle sales declined following the expiration of federal tax incentives for electric vehicles, and gas station sales weakened amid lower fuel prices. The government shutdown may have weighed on consumer confidence regarding jobs, incomes, and overall financial conditions, both current and in the future. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index declined to

89.1 in December from an upwardly revised 92.9 in November, marking its fifth consecutive monthly drop. Consumers were pessimistic about both business conditions and the labor market.

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) declined 0.3% in September, marking its second consecutive monthly decrease after a revised 0.3% drop in August. On a year-over-year basis, the index fell 3.3%. According to the Conference Board, weakening expectations among consumers and businesses contributed most to the LEI’s overall decline. The index continues to signal slower economic growth through the end of 2025 and into 2026. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) came in at -0.21 in September, following a downwardly revised -0.31 in August, signaling that U.S. economic activity remained below its historical trend for the sixth consecutive month. The three-month moving average ticked down to -0.21 in September from -0.18 in August, reinforcing signs of ongoing below-trend national growth. Employment-related indicators turned slightly positive, contributing +0.01 in September after a -0.11 result in August.

CONTRACTING
The Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) manufacturing index slipped to 47.9 in December, down from 48.2 in November, marking continued weakness across the sector. Manufacturing activity has now been in contraction for 36 of the past 38 months, as readings below 50 indicate contraction and those above50 signal expansion. The latest decline was driven primarily by pullbacks in the Production and Inventories components. In contrast, the ISM services index remained in expansion territory, rising to 54.4 in December from 52.6 in November. Respondents attributed the improvementto seasonal strength, though many remained cautious about the potential impact of tariffs.

Source: US Department of Commerce Source: US Department of Commerce The U.S. inflation adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) report demonstrated continued strength in the third quarter, with the first estimate showing a 4.3% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase, up from 3.8% in the second quarter. Consumer spending accelerated, while exports contributed 1.6 percentage points to growth—both key drivers of the quarter’s performance. The stronger-than-expected result represented the fastest pace of U.S. economic expansion in two years. The consensus projection calls for 1.1% growth in the fourth quarter and 2.0% growth for the full year 2025.

The Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point to a target range of 3.50% to 3.75% at its December meeting, citing concerns about emerging weakness in the labor market. A few policymakers dissented, arguing that tighter monetary policy may still be warranted to ensure progress on price stability. Beginning December 1, the Fed also halted its balance sheet runoff, announcing that principal and interest payments from its holdings will be reinvested in Treasury securities to maintain ample reserves and support market stability.

City Council Minutes February 24, 2026
3 The consensus of the City Council was to support:

1. The overall concept of developing the site with up to 900 units (not including ADUs) and the housing types proposed.

2. The proposed density of approximately 15 du/ac, considering the TOC Policy encourages a higher density transit-oriented development for the property.

3. The proposed housing types and mix and potential other housing types such as “missing middle” (i.e. duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and bungalows).

4. Apartment units with a higher bedroom count (i.e., three or four bedrooms) to provide increased rental housing opportunities for families as the market allows.

5. The Applicant’s affordable housing plan of 72 deed-restricted rentals and 56 non-deed-restricted ADUs as an acceptable alternative to providing 122 of the 812 single-family homes as ownership inclusionary units.

6. Deed-restricted units built during the first phase of development.

7. Community benefits provided in the Willow Pass Park area (flexible) or anywhere in District 2.

In addition, there was consensus for the Mayor to create an Ad Hoc committee consisting of Councilmembers Obringer and Hoffmeister to review the project.

Mayor Nakamura recessed the meeting at 9:10 p.m. The meeting resumed at 9:23 p.m.

WHEREAS, the City Council approved Resolution No. 26-4823.1 finding the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Overlay District statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code 21080.085, which was enacted by Senate Bill 131 (2025); and/or it not a project or exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 and amending the Land Use Element of the General Plan incorporating amendments to include provisions for properties designated for affirmatively furthering fair housing.

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

Section 1. All of the facts set forth in the recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.

Section 2. The City Council has reviewed, considered, and evaluated all of the Planning Commission Information, City Council Information, all other pertinent plans, documents, and testimony prior to acting upon the Ordinance.

Ord. No. 26-425.1
Section 3. The documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council has based its decision are located in and may be obtained from the City of Concord Clerk’s Office, 1950 Parkside Drive, Concord, CA 94519.

Section 4. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the City Council finds this ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code 21080.085 (enacted by SB 131, 2025) as it involves rezoning actions to implement the City’s adopted and certified Housing Element.

The City Council further finds that this ordinance does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15060(c)(2) 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. Even if this ordinance did constitute a “project” under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. 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….” Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Section 5. Development Code Amendment Findings
1) The proposed amendment[s are] consistent with the General Plan.

All the proposed amendments are necessary to implement Objective 8.6 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element of the City’s General Plan and are not inconsistent with any other provisions of the General Plan. The proposed Zoning Map amendment would include the sites in the AFFH Overlay District while retaining the underlying zoning of the sites. The AFFH Overlay District is consistent with the site’s General Plan Neighborhood Commercial designation, which is intended to support a mix of residential, commercial, and office development as well as the Residential designations, which are intended for a variety of housing types including townhomes and other forms of multifamily housing.

Ord. No. 26-425.1
Furthermore, Objective 8.6 requires the City to rezone approximately 20 acres of land at 60 dwelling units per acre to create capacity for up to 1,000 housing units. For these reasons, the proposed Zoning Map amendment is in conformance with the General Plan.
2) The proposed amendment[s] would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

As stated in Finding 1, the proposed amendments implement Objective 8.6 of the 2023-2031 Housing Element and would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. On the contrary, they serve the public interest by ensuring compliance with state law and encouraging a wider variety of housing types to meet the needs of all economic segments of the community. If the City exercises discretion over a development project facilitated by the proposed Zoning Map amendment, the project will be evaluated against applicable policies to ensure it does not adversely affect public health, safety, or welfare.
3) Zoning map amendments shall also find that the affected site is physically suitable, including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities, for the requested zoning designation and proposed or anticipated uses and/or development.

The sites are physically suitable for inclusion in the AFFH Overlay District. They are served by existing utilities and have adequate access. There are no physical constraints that preclude the sites from inclusion in the AFFH Overlay District. The parcels proposed for inclusion in the AFFH Overlay District are compatible with surrounding land uses given that they are adjacent to residential, mixed-use, and commercial areas, the current General Plan and zoning designations already permit various forms of residential and mixed-use development, and the AFFH Overlay District will facilitate residential development at densities consistent with the City’s Housing Element goals. Development under the AFFH Overlay District will incorporate design measures such as setbacks, height limits, and landscaping buffers where adjacent to lower-density neighborhoods, ensuring an appropriate scale transition.

Section 6. The City Council does hereby pass and adopt this Ordinance No. 26-425.1.

A. Zones Established. The city of Concord shall be divided into zoning districts that implement the Concord general plan, as shown on Table 18.15.020.

B. Zoning District Symbols. The districts established by this section are shown as symbols on the zoning map and consist of letters and numbers, organized as follows:

1. General Land Use Indicator. Each district includes a letter or letters that indicate the primary land use type within the district. For example, “RS” means that the primary land use type is residential single-family.

2. Residential Density or Subdistricts Indicator. The land use symbol for a particular district may include a number that identifies a subdistrict indicating a type of dwelling or use or minimum lot size. For example, “RS-10” identifies a single- family residential district where the minimum lot size is 10,000 square feet.

3. Overlay Zone Indicator. One or more overlay district indicators may be appended to the primary district to identify an overlay district that applies to a site. For example, “RS-12-H” would identify a single-family residential district where the minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet that is subject to the hillside overlay district requirements.

(1) A net acre is the portion of a site that can be built on. Typically it is the gross lot area minus any land used for access, public or private streets, trails, open space, floodways or utility easements, except for high density residential, which assumes that sites identified in the housing element are net acres with existing improvements. A net acre is typically 20 to 25 percent less than the gross area.

18.25.040 Planned district (PD) zoning district.

As of the eƯective date of the ordinance codified in this title, no development shall be approved using the planned district (PD) zoning district with the exception of housing development projects located within the AƯirmatively Further Fair Housing Overlay District as identified in CMC Chapter 18.120, which may retain the underlying base planned district zoning district. Existing residential development approved in the planned district zoning district shall retain the (PD) zoning designation until and unless the property is redeveloped. The purpose of the planned district designation was to provide for development and site design which better responded to unique environmental conditions in furtherance of the general plan by permitting varied setbacks, diverse lot sizes, and other variations to the residential development standards. The development standards were established with the approval of a preliminary development plan by the city council.

However, many of the preliminary development plans for residential planned district development and/or their subsequent use permit approval did not provide a suƯicient written record to document the development standards and guide the approval of changes to properties over time. Where no record of development standards exists for a specific residential planned district, Table 18.30.030, RR and RS Districts Development Standards, and Table 18.30.040, RL, RM, RH Districts Development Standards, shall be used to determine lot coverage, setbacks, and building height by using the area of the subject lot to determine the equivalent zoning category. For those residential planned districts which do include a written record of development standards, those conditions of approval shall remain in eƯect. [Ord. 12-4. DC 2012 § 122-55].

18.120.010 Purpose.

The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Overlay District (AFFH Overlay District) implements Objective 8.6 of Program 8, Fair Housing, from the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element. In response to California Assembly Bill 686 (Housing discrimination:
affirmatively furthering fair housing, 2018), the program aims to increase housing supply, choices, and affordability in higher-resource neighborhoods of the City.

This chapter establishes the properties subject to the AFFH Overlay District, permitted land uses, permit requirements, and development and design standards.

The AFFH Overlay District is applied to specific properties within the City’s higher resource areas appropriate for a variety of residential housing types, with a density ranging from 20 to 60 units per net acre, such as small lot single-family dwellings, townhomes, row houses, cluster housing, apartments, and condominiums.

18.120.020 Definitions.
“By-right development review” shall mean that the City’s review of the housing development project does not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the

California Public Resources Code. Any subdivision of sites shall be subject to the Subdivision Map Act, CMC Title 17, and all provisions in this title pertaining to minor and major subdivisions.
“Housing development project” has the same meaning as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(h), or successor statue, and as may be amended.

18.120.030 AFFH Overlay District created.

The following AFFH Overlay District is hereby created, which shall overlay any underlying zoning district or districts as depicted in Figure 18.120.030(A) and further described in Table 18.120.030(A).

Subject: Opposition to AFFH Proposal at KMart Site

Dear Members of the Concord City Council,
I oppose the proposed AFFH housing development at the KMart site scheduled for discussion at the March 10 meeting. The project is too dense for this location and would negatively impact traffic, infrastructure, and the surrounding community. Please reconsider this proposal and listen to residents’ concerns.

Sincerely,

Subject: Concerns Regarding Proposed Fair Housing Development at Former KMart Site Dear Members of the Concord City Council,

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed fair housing development planned for the former KMart site in Concord. While I recognize and appreciate the importance of providing housing opportunities within our community , I believe this particular location raises significant concerns that should be carefully reconsidered.

The surrounding area already experiences substantial traffic congestion, particularly on the neighboring roads and streets that serve this corridor. Adding a large housing development at this site will likely increase vehicle traffic significantly, placing additional strain on an already overburdened transportation infrastructure. Current residents frequently experience delays, difficulty entering and exiting local streets, and congestion during peak commuting hours. A development of this scale could worsen these conditions and negatively impact daily life for residents in the surrounding neighborhoods.

In addition, the site is located near Clayton V alley Charter High School, which already experiences heavy traffic during student drop-off and pick-up hours. Increased traffic from a new housing development could further complicate these peak periods, creating additional congestion and potential safety concerns for students, parents, school staff, pedestrians, and cyclists. The safety of students traveling to and from the school should be an important consideration when evaluating developments that may significantly increase traffic in the area.

Without clear plans for meaningful traffic mitigation or infrastructure improvements, it is difficult to see how the surrounding streets and intersections can absorb this additional demand safely and efficiently.

I respectfully ask the City to carefully evaluate the traffic impacts associated with this proposal and consider whether alternative locations or additional infrastructure improvements should be pursued before moving forward. Protecting the quality of life and safety of existing residents, as well as the safety of nearby schools and students, should remain a priority as Concord continues to gro w.

Thank you for your time and for considering the concerns of community members.

Respectfully Yours,

Rhea Matheny

Subject: High density housing not good idea

Good afternoon City Clerk,
I live in corner Ayers and Clayton road where Kmart has been closed at least a decade now.

Writing to say residence like myself vote no on more high density housing in kmarts place.

There's large amounts of congestion that has grown over past 20 years including the traffic brought on by Clayton high school.

Best,

Dear City Council Members,
I understand this is a State-mandated program. I understand there is a study area. I understand that the State is not allowing CEQA to be a part of the AFFH program. I ALSO understand that no one SIDE of Concord should have to bear the burden of a higher density of people and more traffic on the road, choking we local folks' ability to get around in our neighborhoods. This is lumping most of the units in the Clayton Valley corridor. Not fair to us. We are choking in traffic already. You just spent all of this money on the Treat Blvd and Clayton Road pavement programs. It needs to be spread out more in the study area.

Density really needs to be considered more than you are considering it.

I respectfully reiterate the messaging below as part of the public record.

Sincerely,
Anna Rikkelman

Dear City Council Members,
I realize that the
City of Concord is beholding to the State of California to meet the mandated requirements of the subject Program. As I have previously stated with other

public comment re the subject program, the number of required units needs to be SPREAD across the study area. Spreading the number of units across the study area will minimize the potential impact to environment, such as traffic.

To further define, spreading the number of units across the study area does not mean just placing the units in different Districts that then abut against each other. How can you consider this spreading the units across the geographic footprint of the study area?? All you have done is to spread the resident complaints across several Districts so that not one Council Member has all complaints lodged with him/her.

The way I am reading this . . .

1. Site 1, Kmart (471 potential housing units)

2. Site 2, Clayton Faire (248 potential housing units)

3. Site 8, Palm Lakes (165 potential housing units (reduced from the 300 recommended by staff and the Planning Commission))

4. Site 16, 5390 Myrtle (60 potential housing units, estimated by staff based on existing onsite constraints)

5. Site 18, 1539 Kirker Pass (56 potential housing units) . . . you are proposing to place 835 UNITS in the greater Clayton Valley corridor and only a mere 165 units on the other side of the study area (Treat/Oak Grove Palm Lakes area).

That’s nuts!! Reviewing agenda items from other meetings, I surmise that this is because the Oak Road/Treat/Palm Lakes area people became the squeaky wheel to Council, citing traffic issues, citing density/building height concerns, writing letters, so you backed down.

This is completely UNFAIR to the residents in the greater Clayton Valley corridor.

We have traffic issues, too.

We have density concerns, too.

We have building height concerns, too.

Maybe you don’t hear from many of us anymore because frankly, speaking for myself, fatigue is setting in, as is discouragement to be listened to as a vital member of the Concord community.

In the Clayton Valley corridor, we cannot breathe on our roads during morning and evening commute times. It is not only neighborhood traffic. It is traffic from those commuting from

eastern Contra Costa County and the San Joaquin Valley who choose to not use the freeways but use our local streets as their cut-throughs to get to home or work.

I urge you to reconsider the number of units that you are proposing to place on the greater Clayton Valley footprint/side of Concord.

I urge you to consider building height and densities. Please consider if you were a senior living in a single-family home on the backside of the old K-Mart . . . think of the safety concerns you will have with a tall building of tenants peering into your home.

This is just totally unfair to our side of Concord to bear the burden of the State mandate while other parts of Concord become free from impact.

Thank you,
Anna Rikkelman

Report in Brief
The City of Concord is mandated by both state and federal law to maintain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for storm water discharge. As part of its NPDES permit conditions, Concord is required to implement a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP must include municipal programs, public participation, and inter-governmental coordination to reduce the discharge of pollutants into storm drains, creeks, the delta, and the San Francisco Bay.

The City annually authorizes the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors to direct the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to establish a storm water utility area for Concord, and to impose assessments on parcels within the City of Concord. The revenue from this assessment funds activity required to implement Concord’s SWMP. Adoption of the Resolution will continue the current Stormwater

March 10, 2026
Utility Area (SUA) assessment at the current Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU) rate of $35 for a single-family parcel through Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Recommended Action
Considering adoption of a Resolution authorizing the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to establish an annual parcel assessment for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for drainage maintenance and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program.

Background
Pollution carried in storm water runoff has a significant impact on water quality and wildlife in the San Francisco Bay Area. Common pollutants found in runoff from urban areas include oil and grease from automobiles; heavy metals like copper, lead, and zinc from automobiles; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from vehicle exhaust and residential fireplaces; pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers from lawns and gardens; polychlorinated biphenyls from old industrial sites; mercury from fluorescent lights and thermometers; and biological pathogens. Without pollution prevention programs, these pollutants can be carried into municipal storm drainage systems and, ultimately, the Delta and the San Francisco Bay.

The 1987 reauthorization of the Federal Clean Water Act and California state legislation require local agencies to obtain a NPDES permit to discharge municipal storm drainage water into federal and state waters. The development and implementation of a joint municipal NPDES permit for storm water discharge is coordinated by the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP), which consists of the City of Concord, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Contra Costa County, and eighteen other Contra Costa cities (Antioch, Brentwood, Clayton, Danville, El Cerrito, Hercules, Lafayette, Martinez, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Pinole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon, and Walnut Creek.)
On March 9, 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 93-14 authorizing the Contra Costa Flood Control and Water Conservation District to establish an annual parcel assessment to fund NPDES Program activities such as street sweeping, public education, industrial outreach, and drainage system maintenance. Resolution No. 93-14 set the initial assessment at $26 per Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU) per year and limited future assessments to no more than $35 per ERU per year. A single-family residential unit on a parcel with an area between 5,000 square feet and 20,000 square feet was defined as one ERU. Vacant and agricultural lands are exempt from assessment.

Concord’s SUA generates about two million dollars each year.

In December 2009, the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB) consolidated the municipal permits from 67 cities and 14 agencies in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Solano counties, into a single Municipal Regional Permit. This Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) requires the City of

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.c

Concord to implement a comprehensive SWMP. The City’s SUA assessment revenues finance the SWMP and other requirements in the MRP. To collect SUA revenues, the City annually authorizes the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to direct the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to establish a storm water utility area for Concord and reaffirm the approved fee assessment.

Analysis
SUA revenues may only be used for storm water quality-related activities, including street sweeping; catch basin and storm drain maintenance; creek channel maintenance; inspection and monitoring programs to eliminate illicit discharges and illegal connections to the storm drain system, and stream bank erosion control. These efforts are mandated strategies to reduce the amount of pollution reaching the creeks, Delta, and the San Francisco Bay estuary system.

On April 4, 2000, the Council adopted Resolution No. 00-29 approving the current rate of $35 per ERU. The annual parcel assessment has remained at $35 per ERU since June 2001. The rate can be increased only through a ballot measure approved by two- thirds of the property owners. No increase is being requested or proposed, rather an annual resolution is required under the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act.

Financial Impact
If the City Council adopts the Resolution, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District will reaffirm the annual ERU rate of $35 to generate two million dollars in SUA assessments for the City of Concord to fund SWMP implementation in Fiscal Year 2026-27.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), establishing the annual amount of and authorizing the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District to adopt SUA levies and/or assess ERUs does not constitute a "project," within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), and/or 15378, because it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Even if this action did constitute a “project” under CEQA, it 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…”, and is statutorily exempt pursuant to Section 15273 of the CEQA Guidelines because it is establishing charges for the purpose of meeting operating expenses. Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted.

This determination reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis.

Report in Brief
The City owns and maintains approximately 150 traffic signals, 8,300 streetlights, and numerous ancillary traffic control devices, including Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) and solar-powered flashing school crosswalk signs. These critical assets require ongoing preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, component replacement, and emergency repairs to ensure safe and reliable operation. Because signal and lighting infrastructure is also subject to damage from traffic collisions and other unforeseen incidents, often occurring outside regular business hours, the City supplements in-house staff with on-call traffic signal and streetlight repair contractors to provide specialized expertise and rapid emergency response.

5.e5.e5.e5.e5.e

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No 5.e
March 10, 2026
To ensure continued system reliability and timely service delivery, the Transportation Division is proposing three on-call contracts to retain qualified contractors with a maximum not-to-exceed amount of up to $400,000 annually per contractor, to provide traffic signal and streetlight maintenance and repair services as needed for projects that cost $75,000 or less. Emergencies that pose a threat to public health, safety, or essential public services are exempt from the $75,000 limit. An example of an emergency repair would be a vehicle hitting a traffic signal and knocking it offline.

Recommended Action
Award three, five-year contracts for on-call traffic signal maintenance and streetlight repair services in the not-to-exceed amounts of $400,000 per year to DC Electric Group, Inc., Bear Electrical Solutions, LLC., and St. Francis Electric, LLC., with the option to extend each contract for two (2) additional one (1) year periods; authorize the Mayor to execute the contracts in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; and make CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
The City’s Traffic Signal Maintenance team is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of approximately 150 traffic signal systems, 8,300 streetlights, and numerous ancillary traffic control devices, including RRFBs and solar-powered flashing stop signs located at school crosswalks. This critical infrastructure supports safe and efficient mobility throughout the community. The team currently consists of three technicians who are tasked with both routine maintenance and responsive repair activities citywide.

Due to the scale of the system, the unpredictability of emergency repair needs, and limited in-house staffing resources, the City has historically relied on qualified third-party contractors to supplement maintenance operations, particularly for complex or emergency repairs. A common example requiring outside assistance includes traffic signal poles that are struck and damaged by motor vehicles. Such incidents may necessitate full pole replacement, reconstruction of concrete foundations, underground electrical work, and the use of specialized equipment such as cranes to erect new poles.

Because these incidents can occur at any time including nights, weekends, and holidays, it is essential for the City to maintain on-call contractor support to ensure timely response and restoration of service. The City has an established history of using third-party contractors to expedite repairs and return critical traffic control infrastructure to safe operating conditions as quickly as possible, thereby minimizing impacts on public safety and traffic operations.

The use of on-call services under this contract is limited to projects that are $75,000 or less to comply with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) (Public Contract Code §22000 et seq.), which establishes bidding

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No 5.e
March 10, 2026
thresholds for public works projects. Under CUPCCAA, public agencies may perform work by negotiated contract or purchase order without a formal bidding process for projects with an estimated value of $75,000 or less. Because the on-call contract allows the City to assign work on an as-needed basis without conducting a separate competitive bid for each task, individual work assignments issued under this agreement will be limited to this statutory threshold. Larger projects would require a formal bidding process. Emergencies, such as a signal knockdown, are not limited to the $75,000 amount if it poses a threat to public health, safety, or essential public services.

Analysis
Prompt repair and restoration of traffic signals, streetlights, and related traffic control devices is critical to maintaining safe and efficient roadway operations. To ensure continuity of service and rapid response to maintenance needs, Public Works recommends approval of three, multi-year on-call contracts for traffic signal and streetlight repair services in an amount not to exceed $400,000 annually per contractor.

This allows staff to identify the contractor who can be most responsive to the City’s needs at the time of need.

Due to the unpredictable nature of emergency repairs and collision-related damage, the City cannot reliably forecast the precise volume of work that may be required over the term of the contract. As such, the recommended annual not-to-exceed authorization provides the operational flexibility needed to respond to unforeseen maintenance needs. In some years, demand may increase significantly, particularly due to motor vehicle collisions that damage traffic signal and streetlight infrastructure. For example, during Fiscal Year 2024–2025, the City spent $371,358 on third-party contractors to respond to emergency repairs and other assigned maintenance for traffic signals and streetlights. For the current fiscal year, the Transportation Division of the Public Works Department has approximately $230,000 budgeted for signal and streetlight maintenance, with an additional $185,000 budgeted for collision-related knockdowns, and anticipates proposing similar funding levels in future fiscal year budgets.

The recommended authorization also accounts for potential cost escalation over the contract term, including anticipated increases in labor, materials, and equipment costs.

Establishing a higher annual ceiling ensures the City can effectively manage year-to- year variability while maintaining the capacity to respond promptly to critical infrastructure repair needs without service disruption.

Procurement Process
The City initiated a formal competitive bidding process on January 12, 2026, for on-call traffic signal and streetlight repair services. To evaluate pricing competitiveness, bidders were required to submit proposals based on an estimated quantity of typical annual maintenance and repair work anticipated to be performed under the contract. This approach allowed the City to compare unit pricing and overall cost structures on a consistent basis.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No 5.e
March 10, 2026
A total of three (3) bids were received, with bid amounts ranging from $315,400 to $376,250. DC Electric Group, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid at $315,400.

Bear Electrical Solutions LLC submitted a bid of $354,000, and St. Francis Electric, LLC submitted a bid of $376,250.

Given the on-call nature of this contract and the unpredictable, time-sensitive demands associated with traffic signal and streetlight maintenance, particularly collision-related damage and emergency repairs. Staff are recommending award of contracts to all three responsive bidders. Using multiple contractors will provide sufficient capacity and operational redundancy to ensure timely response and completion of work when multiple or concurrent repair needs arise.

Staff has contacted each firm to confirm their respective bid amounts and availability, and all three contractors have confirmed their readiness and ability to perform the work as bid. Following review of the submitted bids and supporting documentation, staff have determined that DC Electric Group, Inc., Bear Electrical Solutions LLC, and St. Francis Electric, LLC are responsive and responsible bidders. Each firm holds the appropriate and valid contractor’s license, is not listed on any federal or state debarment list, is properly registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations in compliance with SB 854 and has prior experience performing traffic signal and streetlight maintenance services for the City of Concord.

Financial Impact
No new funding is being requested for this on-call traffic signal and streetlight maintenance contract. Consistent with prior years, on-call signal and streetlight maintenance will be funded through a combination of existing sources. These include General Fund Public Works accounts to address traffic signal and streetlight knockdowns, restricted funding sources such as gas tax funds and the Citywide Street Light Maintenance District, and budget transfers from Capital Improvement Projects that may periodically use these contracts to complete associated work. In Fiscal Year 2024– 2025, the City spent $371,358 on third-party contractors responding to emergency repairs and other assigned signal and streetlight maintenance. For the current fiscal year, the Transportation Division has approximately $230,000 budgeted for signal and streetlight maintenance and an additional $185,000 budgeted for knockdowns. Similar funding levels are anticipated in future fiscal year budgets.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(2), and/or 15061(b)(3), award of these contracts is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, as they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and fall 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.” In the alternative, this project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Sections 15301 – Existing Facilities, 15302 – Replacement or Reconstruction, 15303 – New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, 15304 – Minor Alterations to Land, and/or 15305 – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations.

Staff Report
Date: March 10, 2026
To: City Council
From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Reviewed by: Mindy Gentry, Community Development Director Trish Beirne, Emergency and Volunteer Services Manager
Prepared by: Aaron Sage, Planning Manager
[email protected]
(925) 671-3465
Subject: Considering adoption of a Resolution amending the General Plan Safety and Noise Element to incorporate the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by reference to make the City eligible for additional disaster assistance pursuant to California Government Code Section 8685.9 (AB 2140, 2006) (PL26004- GP).

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

Report in Brief
California Assembly Bill (“AB”) 2140 (2006) allows cities and counties to become eligible for state reimbursement of an additional 6.25 percent of disaster-related expenses if they adopt their current, federally-approved local hazard mitigation plans (LHMPs) into the safety element of their general plans. The City of Concord (“City”) adopted and received federal approval of its LHMP in 2023 but has not yet adopted the LHMP into the 2030 General Plan’s Safety and Noise Element. This item recommends that the City Council (“Council”) take this action. Upon such action and confirmation by the California Office of Emergency Services (“CalOES”), the City would become eligible for the additional state reimbursement noted above, potentially reducing the City’s disaster- related expenses.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.f
March 10, 2026
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 1) amending the General Plan Safety and Noise Element to incorporate the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by reference to make the City eligible for additional disaster assistance pursuant to Government Code Section 8685.9 (AB 2140, 2006) (PL26004-GP).

Background
The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) requires local jurisdictions to adopt LHMPs to be eligible for certain types of financial assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). FEMA typically reimburses up to 75 percent of eligible disaster-related expenses, and local jurisdictions and/or states must pay the remaining 25 percent. Under the California Disaster Assistance Act, the state will reimburse local jurisdictions up to 18.75 percent, leaving local jurisdictions responsible for the remaining 6.25 percent, except as discussed below.

State law requires cities and counties to adopt a general plan as a comprehensive, long-range guide to their physical growth and development. General plans must have at least seven required components, or “elements,” including one pertaining to safety. The safety element identifies risks from earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, and other natural disasters and contains policies for mitigating those risks. The Safety and Noise Element of the City’s 2030 General Plan (“General Plan”) generally conforms to current state law and will be updated to fully conform during the next General Plan update, which is anticipated to begin in 2027.

In 2006, the state enacted AB 2140, which provides cities and counties with an option to receive state reimbursement for the remaining 6.25 percent of disaster-related expenses if they adopt their current, federally-approved local hazard mitigation plans (LHMPs) into the safety element of their general plans.1 LHMPs must be updated and re-adopted into the safety element every five years to maintain AB 2140 compliance. A CalOES fact sheet regarding AB 2140 is provided as Attachment 2.

On March 28, 2023, the Council adopted Resolution No. 23-21 (Attachment 3) adopting an updated LHMP for the City. The updated LHMP is provided as Exhibit A to Attachment 3.2 On April 18, 2023, the City received federal approval of the updated LHMP, but has not yet adopted the LHMP into the General Plan Safety and Noise Element.

On February 4, 2026, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposed amendment and unanimously approved a Resolution recommending that the Council approve the amendment.
1 California Government Code Section 8685.9.
2 The updated LHMP is also available at https://cityofconcord.org/DocumentCenter/View/10296. Prior to 2023, the City’s LHMP requirement was satisfied through a Concord-specific “annex” within the Contra Costa County LHMP.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.f
March 10, 2026
Analysis
As noted above, adopting the current LHMP into the City’s General Plan Safety and Noise Element could reduce potential financial impacts on the City in the event of a disaster. Based on input from CalOES, staff has drafted the following proposed language for this amendment:
“On March 28 and April 18, 2023, respectively, the City adopted and received Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) approval of an updated LHMP for the Concord planning area. Like the previous LHMPs, the 2023 LHMP was developed in accordance with the DMA 2000 and FEMA guidance. The 2023 LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involves planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. The City of Concord’s 2023 LHMP is hereby incorporated as part of this Safety and Noise Element and can be found on the City’s website here:
https://cityofconcord.org/DocumentCenter/View/10296.”
The Planning Commission recommends inserting this language into Section 7.7 of the Safety and Noise Element (“Natural Hazard Mitigation Planning”), along with removing outdated language regarding prior versions of the LHMP. Attachment 1, Exhibit A provides the proposed redline edits to Section 7.7.

Upon adoption of the attached Resolution, staff will provide a copy of the resolution to CalOES, and upon CalOES review and approval, the City will become eligible for full state reimbursement under AB 2140.

Findings
Concord Municipal Code Section 18.455.070(A) requires the following findings for General Plan amendments. Supporting language from the attached Resolution is provided in plain text below each italicized finding.

1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the general plan.

The amendment does not conflict with any other policies or provisions of the 2030 General Plan. Inconsistent or outdated language regarding prior versions of the LHMP has been removed.

2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.f
March 10, 2026
By making the City eligible for additional disaster-related assistance, the amendment would be beneficial to the City, rather than detrimental.

3. The affected site is physically suitable, including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities, for the requested zoning designation and proposed or anticipated uses and/or development.

This finding is not applicable to the proposed amendment as it does not pertain to any specific site.

Financial Impact
As discussed above, the recommended action would make the City eligible for state reimbursement of an additional 6.25 percent of total disaster-related expenses. The actual cost savings are difficult to estimate and will vary widely depending on whether a disaster occurs and the severity of the disaster.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the Council finds this action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15060(c)(2) 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. Even if this action did constitute a “project” under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. 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….”
Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Public Contact
The City Council Agenda was posted. Notification was published in the East Bay Times at least 10 days before the public hearing, as required by state law and the Concord Municipal Code.

Res No. 26-xx 3
relating to the proposed Resolution, which are maintained at the offices of the City of Concord City Clerk (collectively, “City Council Information”), and declared its intent to approve and the Resolution.

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

Section 1. All of the facts set forth in the recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as if fully set forth herein.

Section 2. The City Council has reviewed, considered, and evaluated all of the Planning Commission Information, City Council Information, all other pertinent plans, documents, and testimony prior to acting upon the Resolution.

Section 3. CEQA

1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et. seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively “CEQA”), the City Council finds this action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal. Code Regs. Section 15060(c)(2) 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. Even if this action did constitute a “project” under CEQA, it falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in 14 Cal. Code Regs. 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….”

2. Accordingly, no further environmental review is warranted. This determination reflects the City Council’s independent judgment and analysis.

Section 4. Findings

1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the general plan.

The amendment does not conflict with any other policies or provisions of the 2030 General Plan. Inconsistent or outdated language regarding prior versions of the LHMP has been

Res No. 26-xx 4
removed.

2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city.

By making the City’s eligible for additional disaster-related assistance, the amendment would be beneficial to the City, rather than detrimental.

3. The affected site is physically suitable, including absence of physical constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities, for the requested zoning designation and proposed or anticipated uses and/or development.

This finding is not applicable to the proposed amendment as it does not pertain to any specific site.

Section 5. In accordance with Concord Municipal Code Section 18.455.060, the City Council adopts the City of Concord Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023 Update into the General Plan Safety and Noise Element via the amendment to said element attached as Exhibit A. While content related to the City may require revisions to meet the plan approval requirements, changes occurring after adoption will not require the City to re-adopt any further iterations of the plan.

Subsequent plan updates following the approval period for this plan will require separate adoption resolutions.

Section 6. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.

Attachment: Exhibit A – Safety and Noise Element

7-1
7 The purpose of the Safety and Noise Element is to identify the natural and man-made hazards that exist within the City, and to mitigate their potential impacts through both preventative and responsive measures. This Element addresses air quality, noise sources, geology and seismicity, wildfire hazards, hazardous materials, and health and safety services. It also includes policies on natural hazards mitigation planning, which respond to the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Final Interim Rule, published in October 2002. Hazards related to drainage and flooding are addressed in the Public Facilities Element.

7.1 AIR QUALITY
Two types of air pollutants affect air quality in Concord – criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants. The city also faces air quality issues relating to odors and nuisances such as dust and smoke. Urban activities in the city also generate greenhouse gases, which contribute to global climate change.

The major source of air pollutants in Concord is motor vehicle emissions. Heavy commute patterns throughout the San Francisco Bay Area have resulted in poor regional air quality levels. Newer model vehicles are producing “cleaner” auto emissions, and will help to counteract the negative air quality impacts associated with increased vehicle use. Nonetheless, the region is still gaining population and jobs, resulting in longer commutes and more vehicles on the road. Continued efforts must be made to reduce emissions through land use and transportation planning.

Criteria and toxic air contaminants (as described below) are controlled by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The City has a more direct role in regulating odors and nuisances, and the release of particulate matter at construction sites.

SAFETY AND NOISE7
Exhibit A to Attachment 1

Concord 2030 General Plan
Criteria Air Pollutants
Criteria air pollutants—carbon monoxide, ozone, and particulate matter, including nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, PM 10, and lead— are most pervasive in urban environments, and State and national ambient air quality standards have been established for them. The Bay Area’s topographical and wind factors reduce local
concentrations of criteria air pollutants in Concord. Motor vehicles are expected to continue to be a major source for regional emissions.

Residential, industrial, and commercial development in Concord contributes to regional emissions. Emissions are also generated through industrial and commercial operations and building energy use. Residents and workers may experience occasional violations of PM10 (particulates) standards due to construction activities and other local dust sources, and may experience elevated
concentrations of carbon monoxide along congested freeway segments and at congested intersections.

The primary role of cities in achieving and maintaining regional air quality is through land use decision-making, which can affect vehicle miles traveled, and through other measures to manage the emission of pollutants. BAAQMD identifies specific Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) that, together with other approaches, may help reduce emissions in Concord, contributing to regional pollution control and greenhouse gas reduction efforts.

Toxic Air Contaminants
Toxic air contaminants are those pollutants that occur at relatively low concentrations and are associated with carcinogenic or other adverse health effects, but for which no ambient air quality standards have been established. These pollutants are typically carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins. Diesel particulate matter has been identified as a toxic air contaminant and represents 70 percent of the known potential cancer risk from air toxics in California. Regulation of toxic air contaminants is achieved through Federal and State controls on individual sources. The preferred technique for reducing toxic air emissions is source reduction, and as part of a local control strategy in the Bay Area, all applications for new stationary sources are reviewed to ensure compliance with required emission controls and limits.

The ambient background of toxic air contaminants is the combined result of many diverse human activities, including gasoline stations, automobiles, dry cleaners, industrial operations, hospital sterilizers, and painting operations. In general, mobile sources contribute more significantly to health risks than do stationary sources. The

Safety and Noise
7-3
BAAQMD notes a particular need to reduce exposure to particulates and air toxics related to freeways and major arterials, especially those with high volumes of truck traffic, as well as exposure related to goods movement and distribution centers. Generally, ambient concentrations of toxic air contaminants are similar throughout the urbanized area of the Bay Area. BAAQMD regulates toxic air contaminants from stationary sources through their permit process; mobile sources of toxic air contaminants are regulated indirectly through vehicle emissions standards and though fuel specifications.

Cities have a role in reducing public exposure to toxic air contaminants through ensuring sufficient buffer zones around stationary sources and by reducing vehicle trips.

Odors and Nuisances
Odors and nuisances include those emissions which occur infrequently but which have the potential to generate citizen complaints. BAAQMD records indicate certain industrial facilities in Concord occasionally generate citizen complaints. Increased buffering of incompatible uses and control of dust from construction are potential local approaches to controlling odors and nuisances.

Air Quality Monitoring Stations
BAAQMD operates a regional network of air pollution monitoring stations that provide information on ambient concentrations of criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants. Two stations are operated within the City limits: number 2018, located at 2975 Treat Boulevard, and number 2032, located at 2477 Arnold Industrial Way. Table 7-1 summarizes air quality data collected from the monitoring station on Treat Blvd.

Sensitive Receptors
Some people are more sensitive than others to air pollutants.

Heightened sensitivity may be caused by health problems, proximity to the emissions source, and duration of exposure to air pollutants. Sensitive receptors are facilities that house or attract children, the elderly, people with illnesses, or others who are especially sensitive to the effects of air pollution. Hospitals, schools, convalescent facilities, and residential areas are examples of sensitive receptors which should not be located near sources of noise, such as an airport.

Greenhouse Gases
On a global level, activities such as motor vehicle use, manufacturing, and power plant operations are generating carbon dioxide, methane, and other “greenhouse” gases faster than the earth’s atmosphere can absorb them.

These emissions are expected to lead to global temperature increases in the next century, potentially affecting Concord’s flora and fauna, water supply, and climate. Assembly Bill (AB) 32, approved by the State legislature in 2006, required the California Air Resources Board to develop regulations and programs to reduce the state’s greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Subsequently, Senate Bill (SB) 375 was adopted to reduce statewide motor vehicle emissions, in part by improving coordination between land use, transportation and housing decisions.

Like other cities in California, the City of Concord is taking action to address climate change through its land use and transportation policies. This is particularly important on the Concord Reuse Project (CRP) site. The CRP Area Plan presents an unprecedented opportunity to develop a new kind of community—one that is less reliant on automobiles and which yields far lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions per capita than conventional development. The Area Plan for the CRP includes a “Climate Action Plan” which outlines the strategies for achieving this objective. The most basic

Safety and Noise
7-5
elements of this Plan are to concentrate new development around BART; build at densities that support transit use; develop a well-connected bicycle and pedestrian system; provide a balanced mix of employment, services, and housing to minimize trip lengths; and incorporate advanced energy conservation and efficiency measures in the design of new buildings and infrastructure. A separate Climate Action Plan for the City as a whole also is planned.

7.2 NOISE
Noise Characteristics and Measurement
Noises vary widely in their scope, source, and volume, ranging from individual occurrences such as leaf blowers, to the intermittent disturbances of overhead aircraft, to the fairly constant noise generated by traffic on freeways. Noise is primarily a concern with regard to noise–sensitive uses such as residences, schools, churches, and hospitals.

Noise Measurement
Noise is commonly defined as undesirable or unwanted sound. Three aspects of community noise are used in assessing the noise environment:
• Level (e.g., magnitude or loudness) of sound. Sound levels are measured and expressed in decibels (dB) with 10 dB roughly equal to the threshold of hearing. Figure 7-1 shows the decibel levels associated with different common sounds.
• Frequency composition or spectrum of the sound. Frequency is a measure of the pressure fluctuations per second, measured in units of hertz (Hz). The characterization of sound level magnitude with respect to frequency is the sound spectrum, often described in octave bands, which divide the audible human frequency range (e.g., from 20 to 20,000 Hz) into ten segments.
• Variation in sound level with time, measured as noise exposure. Most community noise is produced by many distant noise sources that change gradually throughout the day and produce a relatively steady background noise having no identifiable source. Identifiable events of brief duration, such as aircraft flyovers, cause the community noise level to vary from instant to instant. A single number called the equivalent sound level or Leq describes the average noise exposure level over a period of time.

Concord 2030 General Plan
7-6
FIGURE 7-1: TYPICAL SOUND LEVELS
Transient noise events may be described by their maximum A weighted noise level (dBA). Hourly Noise Levels are mentioned in Leq values.

Reporting Noise Levels
Measuring and reporting noise levels involves accounting for variations in sensitivity to noise during the daytime versus nighttime hours. Noise descriptors used for analysis need to factor for human sensitivity to nighttime noise when background noise levels are generally lower than in the daytime and outside noise intrusions are more noticeable. Common descriptors include the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) and the Day-Night Average Level (DNL, symbol (Ldn)). Both reflect noise exposure over an average day with weighting to reflect the increased sensitivity to noise during the evening and night. The two descriptors are roughly equivalent. The CNEL descriptor is used in relation to major continuous noise sources, such as aircraft or traffic, and is the reference level for the Noise Element.

Safety and Noise
7-7
Knowledge of the following relationships is helpful in
understanding how changes in noise and noise exposure are perceived:
• Except under special conditions, a change in sound level of 1 dB cannot be perceived;
• A 3 dB change is considered a just noticeable difference; • A 5 dB change is required before any noticeable change in community response would be expected. A 5 dB increase is often considered a significant impact; and
• A 10 dB increase is subjectively heard as an approximate doubling in loudness and almost always causes an adverse community response.

Noise Generation in Concord
The major noise source in Concord is related to vehicle traffic.

Other noise sources include aircraft and rail transportation. Noise produced by industry has a negligible effect on the City’s residential noise environment.

Traffic Noise
Traffic noise depends primarily on the speed of traffic and the percentage of truck traffic. The primary source of noise from automobiles is high frequency tire noise, which increases with speed. In addition, trucks and older automobiles produce engine and exhaust noise, and trucks also generate wind noise. While tire noise from autos is generally located at ground level, truck noise sources can be located as high as ten to fifteen feet above the roadbed due to tall exhaust stacks and higher engines; sound walls are not effective for mitigating such noise unless they are very tall.

According to common practice, maximum noise levels of 60 dB are considered “normally acceptable” for unshielded residential development. Noise levels from 60 dB to 70 dB fall within the “conditionally unacceptable” range, and those in the 70 dB to 75 dB range are considered “normally unacceptable.”
Noise exposure contours for Concord were modeled by Charles Salter Associates by applying the Federal Highway
Administration’s noise modeling procedure. These noise contours are conservative, meaning that the contours are modeled with minimal noise attenuation by natural barriers, buildings, etc. The noise level measured at a specific location may be lower than what is shown on the noise contour map.

Concord 2030 General Plan
7-8
Projected Conditions under General Plan Buildout
Future development within the City’s Planning Area will result in increased auto and truck traffic volumes and planned helicopter flights, thus increasing noise levels somewhat in some areas. Future noise contours are illustrated in Figure 7-2. The Figure does not include future noise contours along new through-streets within the Concord Reuse Project Area, nor does it include changes to noise contours outside the CRP Area resulting from traffic generated by CRP development. The environmental review for the CRP included an analysis of future noise conditions and mitigation measures.

Noise contours for future through-streets will be mapped as more detailed plans for the Reuse Project are developed.

Noise caused by increases in traffic levels can be counteracted by the implementation of alternate forms of transportation and land use design that factor in noise concerns. Locating noise-sensitive uses away from high-noise areas (e.g., major transportation routes) and buffering noise levels through design and landscaping features will help minimize future noise-related land use conflicts. Policies in this chapter establish review criteria for certain land uses to ensure that future noise levels will not exceed acceptable levels near noise- sensitive land uses.

Helicopter Noise
The John Muir Health, Concord Campus is planning to provide helicopter service for medical emergencies. Two potential sites have been identified on the Center’s campus; ultimately, one site will be selected for development by the John Muir Health, Concord Campus. The anticipated flight paths would generally follow Port Chicago Highway and major freeways, although Salvio Street and Clayton Road also may be used for approaches from Highway 242 from the south. Final flight paths would be approved by the California Department of Aeronautics, based on construction clearance considerations, wind directions and minimizing impacts on nearby land use. Helicopter noise contours associated with these two sites are shown in Figure 7-3.

Buchanan Field Airport Noise
The City recognizes the importance of Buchanan Field Airport to the community and region, and aims to achieve compatibility between the Airport and neighboring land uses. Contra Costa County, the agency that has jurisdictional authority over the airport, has developed projected noise contours for several different scenarios. Figure 7-3 maps projected noise contours and lists the associated activity assumptions.

7.3 GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC HAZARDS
The San Francisco Bay Area contains both active and potentially active faults. Earthquakes pose especially high risks to Concord because of the City’s close proximity to active faults with relatively frequent past movements. The Concord Fault is located within the City limits, and the Hayward Fault is located approximately 15 miles west. The Hayward and San Andreas Faults are the two principally active faults in the Bay Area. The San Andreas Fault, located approximately 32 miles west of Concord, is a major structural feature in the region, and forms a boundary between the North American and Pacific Tectonic plates. Other principally active faults in the region include the Green Valley, Rodger’s Creek, Calaveras, Clayton, Diablo, and Marsh Creek-Greenville Faults. However, of these, only the Concord Fault is within an identified Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (see below).

Fault Rupture Hazard Zones
Fault rupture is displacement at the earth’s surface resulting from fault movement associated with an earthquake. Surface fault rupture is typically observed close to or on the trace of an active fault. The City of Concord is bisected by the active Concord Fault.

Areas within Concord that are most likely to experience fault rupture from movement on the Concord Fault are incorporated within the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Extending approximately 1,000 to 2,500 feet wide, the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone is established by the California Geological Survey under the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zones Act of 1972.

Development within this zone is strictly regulated, and requires detailed geologic and seismic evaluations to assess the potential for fault rupture hazard before a construction permit can be issued for most projects. Fault rupture hazards may severely limit potential future development within this zone.

Ground Shaking Susceptibility
Ground movement during an earthquake can vary depending on the overall magnitude, distance to the fault, focus of earthquake energy, and type of geologic material. Based on proximity to active faults, certain areas may experience shaking on a more frequent basis.

Figure 7-4 displays the potential for earthquake intensity based on a combination of geologic materials, proximity to active faults, and frequency of shaking. The areas with the highest anticipated intensity are those underlain by estuarine deposits near the mouth of Pacheco Creek and along the shoreline of Suisun Bay, in close proximity to the active Concord Fault.

The composition of underlying soils, even those relatively distant from faults, can intensify ground shaking. Areas that are underlain by bedrock and areas farther away from the active faults tend to experience less ground shaking or ground shaking on a less frequent basis than those underlain by unconsolidated sediments such as artificial fill or unconsolidated alluvial fill. The strongest ground shaking is anticipated to occur as a result of an earthquake on the Concord Fault, due to immediate proximity. Damage in areas immediately bordering the fault and those underlain by estuarine deposits near the mouth of Pacheco Creek and along the shoreline of Suisun Bay could be significant.

Liquefaction Potential
Liquefaction is a phenomenon whereby unconsolidated and/or near- saturated soils lose cohesion and are converted to a fluid state as a result of severe vibratory motion. The relatively rapid loss of soil shear strength during strong earthquake shaking results in temporary, fluid-like behavior of the soil. Soil liquefaction causes ground failure that can damage roads, pipelines, underground cables, and buildings with shallow foundations. Liquefaction more commonly occurs in looser, saturated materials. Areas susceptible to liquefaction are typically underlain by water-saturated, unconsolidated, loose, granular materials, and in unconsolidated or artificial fill sediments located in reclaimed areas along the margin of Suisun Bay. Regions within Concord that have high to very high levels of liquefaction susceptibility include Clayton Valley and areas along Suisun Bay, Pacheco Creek, and the Hastings and Belloma Sloughs, as depicted on Figure 7-4.

Safety and Noise

7.4 WILDFIRE HAZARDS
Wildland fire hazard potential is largely dependent on the extent and type of vegetation, known as surface fuels, that exists within a region. Fire hazards are typically highest in heavily wooded, undeveloped areas as trees are a greater source of fuel than low- lying brush or grasslands. Suburban or urban areas or rocky barren areas have minimal surface fuels and therefore typically have the lowest fire hazard. In Concord, the majority of the surface fuels are classified as grassy, urban, or barren areas. These areas would be considered a low to moderate fire hazard, as depicted on Figure 7-5.

Almost the entire Concord Reuse Project site is considered to have a moderate hazard. The grassy and relatively undeveloped hills in Los Medanos Hills and the Mt. Diablo Foothills are generally considered a moderate fire hazard. On the other hand, urban settings have a higher fire risk than rural areas because of structure density, according to the Association of Bay Area Governments’ Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a consequence, the net result may be an increase in overall fire risk.

7.5 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Areas where historic or on-going activities have resulted in the known or suspected release of hazardous materials to soil and groundwater, as identified by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, Environmental Conditions Report for the CNWS, and California Department of Toxic Substances, are depicted on Figure 7-6. Sites with contamination are largely clustered around prior or existing industrial areas of Clayton Road, Concord Avenue, Detroit Avenue, Monument Boulevard, and Willow Pass Road. This potential contamination may be the result of underground storage tank (UST) releases, spills, accidental releases or other activities involving the use of hazardous materials.

In general, the areas highlighted are industrial and manufacturing areas, although some represent gas stations, dry cleaners, or other small businesses.

Military activities at the former CNWS are known to have impacted soil and groundwater. Numerous solid waste management units and storage tanks are located in the CNWS, many of which have been recommended for “No Further Action” by the California
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). A 2005 draft Preliminary Assessment for the CNWS identified nine areas of concern, six of which potentially contain Munitions and Explosives of Concern or Munitions Constituents. Subsequent evaluations of hazardous materials were conducted as

part of the base reuse planning process. Provisions for remediating hazards prior to development approval were established through this process and will be implemented during the time period covered by the General Plan.

Releases, leaks, or disposal of chemical compounds, such as petroleum hydrocarbons, on or below the ground surface can lead to contamination of underlying soil and groundwater. Disturbance of a previously contaminated area through grading or excavation operations could expose the public to health hazards from physical contact with contaminated materials or hazardous vapors. Improper handling or storage of contaminated soil and groundwater can further expose the public to these hazards, or potentially spread contamination through surface water runoff or air-borne dust. In addition, contaminated groundwater can spread down gradient, potentially contaminating subsurface areas of surrounding properties.

7.6 HEALTH AND SAFETY SERVICES
The Concord Police Department and Contra Costa County Fire Protection District provide police fire, and life safety services in Concord.

Police Services
In 2006, the Concord Police Department had a staff of 161 sworn police officers, which equaled approximately 1.3 officers per 1,000 residents. This service ratio is between the nationally-accepted standard service ratio of 1.25 officers per 1,000 residents and the California standard, which ranges from 1.4 –1.7 per 1,000 residents.

In addition to sworn staff, the Police Department operated with an authorized non-sworn strength of 65 full-time employees. The department also provides significant services through employment of non-sworn, part-time employees, whose number fluctuates throughout the year.

The Police Department headquarters building is located at 1350 Galindo Way. The Department provides services based on three community policing districts (the Northern, Southern, and Valley districts). The boundaries of these districts are illustrated on Figure 7-7.

Fire & Life Safety Services
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) provides fire and life safety services within the City of Concord. In addition to services provided by CCCFPD personnel, the District also maintains mutual-aid agreements with the East

Concord 2030 General Plan
7-20
Diablo Fire Protection District, East Bay Regional Park District, California Department of Forestry, and private industrial companies located within its jurisdiction. These agreements provide the CCCFPD with emergency response assistance on an as-needed basis.

The dispatch time goal for the CCCFPD is to relay a dispatch within 90 seconds of receiving a call for service. Currently, the average time from call to dispatch is 103 seconds. The Insurance Service Office (ISO)—a private organization that surveys fire departments in cities and towns across the United States—awarded the CCCFPD a Class 3 rating (1 being highest and 10 being lowest). This rating considers a community’s fire defense capacity versus fire potential, and then uses the score to set property insurance premiums for homeowners and commercial property owners.

Facilities
Eight CCCFPD fire stations currently serve the City of Concord.

The location and number of 24-hour personnel at each station as of 2006 are displayed in Table 7-2. The CCCFPD operates a
countywide early warning system for industrial fires. Called the Community Warning System (CWS), sirens installed at industrial facilities automatically sound when an incident occurs. The system alerts residents via television and radio announcements .
