EXHIBIT “C”
PLANNING CASE NOS. PHG20-0033/PL22-0216
FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED / FINDINGS OF FACT
Environmental Determinations:
1. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code section 21000 et. seq.) (“CEQA”), and its implementing regulations (14 C.C.R. § 15000 et seq.) (“CEQA Guidelines”), the City of Escondido (“City”) is the Lead Agency for the project (“Project”), as the public agency with the principal responsibility for approving the Project.
2. The Project qualifies for an exemption from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) because such categorical exemption applies to proposed developmen ts within city limits on sites of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses, where the site has no habitat value for special status species, can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services, and the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. (CEQA Guidelines § 15332(b)- (e)). Technical studies were requested by the Planning Division to substantiate the categorical exemption as applied to the Project. The proposed Project meets the following criteria:
a. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. b. The proposed d evelopment occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. d. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services The Project also does not trigger any exceptions to the categorical exemption as listed in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2.
3. The City Council has independently considered the full administrative record before it, which includes but is not limited to the August 16, 2023, City Council Staff Report; testimony by staff and the public; and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to it. The administrative record demonstrates that each of the above requirements have been satisfied. No substantial evidence has been submitted that would support a finding that any of the above -described exemption requirements has not been satisfied. The Project will not have a significant effect on the environment, and all of the requirements of CEQA have been met.
Resolution No. 2023-103
Exhibit "C"

Item11.
Plot Plan Findings (Escondido Zoning Code Section 33-1316)
1. That the use is a permitted use in the zone in which it is located.
The Project is located within the Residential Estate (RE-20) zoning district. This zoning district allows for Licensed Residential Care Facilities and group quarters for 7 or more persons subject to review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The use is a conditionally permitted use within this zoning district as indicated on the land use matrix for residential zones.
2. That the plot plan is granted subject to such conditions as deemed necessary to meet the standards of the use and zone in which it is located and to comply with applicable design standards.
The Project is consistent with the standards of the underlying zone, and is conditioned to the meet the standards of the use. The Project is designed to appear as a single-family residence, and would be consistent with surrounding residential uses.
3. That the plot plan is granted subject to such additional conditions as deemed necessary and desirable to preserve the public health, safety and general welfare.
The Project is subject to conditions of approval that will ensure consistency with all standard requirements.
Conditional Use Permit Findings (Escondido Zoning Code Section 33-1203)
1. A conditional use permit should be granted upon sound principles of land use and in response to services required by the community.
The Project is located within the Residential Estate (RE-20) zoning district in the City’s Zoning Ordinance, and within the Estate II (E2) General Plan land use designation. Licensed Residential Care Facilities are a conditionally permitted use within this zoning district. The Project would provide a service for a subset of the community that requires assistance living with dementia, and would allow for this community to continue living in the City of Escondido.
2. A conditional use permit should not be granted if it will cause deterioration of bordering land uses or create special problems for the area in which it is located.
The Project is located in a residential area and is surrounded by residential development on all sides.
Access to the project site is provided on Reed Road and Wedgewood Avenue; however, it is likely that a majority of vehicle traffic will enter the site from Wedgewood Avenue. The Project is designed to reduce impacts to adjacent properties through the use of landscaping for screening, and the siting of buildings on site. The proposed buildings are consistent with the allowable height of the underlying zoning district, and would be similar in massing and height to buildings located on adjacent properties.
3. A conditional use permit must be considered in relationship to its effect on the community or neighborhood plan for the area in which it is to be located.
The proposed use at the location requested will not adversely affect the peace, health, safety, morals or welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding area; and will not have a substantial adverse effect on abutting property or the allowed use of the abutting property, which means that the use will Resolution No. 2023-103
Exhibit "C"
181
Item11.
not generate excessive noise, traffic, vibration, or other disturbance. Furthermore, the project is subject to conditions of approval that will ensure consistency with all standard requirements.
Grading Exemption (Escondido Zoning Code Section 33-1066)
1. The Project includes fill slopes up to ten feet (10’) within fifty feet (50’) of a property line, and cut slopes steeper than 2:1. Based on a supplemental memo to the preliminary geotechnical evaluation, the 1.5:1 cut slope may be further stabilized through recommendations outlined in the memo. The proposed slopes would be an improvement to the existing use of the site which was a “borrow/material” site for the development of an adjacent neighborhood. The steep slopes would be screened by the placement of the buildings; furthermore, the slopes allow for the paving and vehicle parking area to be screened from public review thus reducing visual impacts to surrounding properties. The Project would not be fe asible were it not for the proposed grading design as there is a twenty-five foot (25’) change in elevation from north to south while there is a fourteen foot (14’) change in elevation from east to west. Alternatives were considered such as terracing the g rade, and created a single flat grade; however, both alternatives would have created smaller buildings and less usable landscaped area or would require taller buildings due to the reduced useable area of the lot. Detailed plans and technical reports will be reviewed by the City as part of the grading permit submittal to ensure that the information contained in the preliminary geotechnical report is adequately incorporated into the final design, and all slopes would be landscaped in according with the zoning code.

Item11.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is 4.27-acres and is developed with an existing single-family residence with access via Reed Road. The existing single-family residence currently operates as a licensed residential care facility with no more than 6 residents. The property is located within the Estate II (E2) General Plan land use designation and zoned Residential Estate (RE-20; 20,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size). According to building permit records, the residence was constructed in 1992. The City received a request for a Tentative Parcel Map (SUB18-0004) in 2018; however, the project was withdrawn.

PROJECT ANALYSIS
1. General Plan Conformance:
The Project is in conformance with several General Plan policies and actions as detailed below:
Older Adult, Disabled, Disadvantaged Services Policy 8.1: Allow adult care facilities in all residential zones as a permitted use consistent with state law and local provisions.
Licensed residential care facilities with six or less beds are permitted by-right in the RE-20 zoning district, and the other residential districts. The Project is for a licensed residential care facility with seven or more beds which requires a Conditional Use Permit. Based on the Project description, a conditional use permit is appropriate due to its size and potential conflict with surrounding land uses. The Project is in conformance with this General Plan Policy.
Older Adult, Disabled, Disadvantaged Services Policy 8.10: Support institutions and agencies that assist and provide necessary services for older adults who desire to “age in place.” The Project would provide necessary services for older adults who display signs of dementia, and may need assistance living through the rest of their natural life, and allows them to continue living in the City of Escondido.
2. Zoning or Specific Plan Conformance:
The Project is located within the RE-20 zoning district and is a conditionally permitted use. The Project will comply with the requirements of the underlying zoning district relative to development standards. The Project conforms to the requirements of the zoning district.
3. Climate Action Plan Consistency:
The Project was submitted to the City for review in May 2020, and was analyzed for consistency with the 2012 E-CAP which provided the methodology, assumptions and data used for the 2012 General Plan Update. The City’s 2012 E-CAP is a qualified GHG emissions reduction plan meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines §15130(a)(3) and §15183.5. It addresses GHG emissions, is in concert with AB 32 and statewide efforts to address global climate change, and includes specific local requirements that will substantially lessen the cumulative problem . The Project was found to be consistent with the 2012 E -CAP because the 2012 General Plan Update and adopted land use assumptions were based on data collected for the 2012 E -CAP; additionally, the project is consistent with the underlying General Plan Land Use Designation and the existing zoning designation, and no amendments are proposed. Based on the screening table associated with the 13 Item 2.
Attachment "2"
210
Item11.
2012 E -CAP, the Project is screened out from any additiona l GHG analysis because it would produce less than 2,500 MT CO2e per year based on the project type.
Subsequent to the Project application, on March 10, 2021, the City Council adopted an updated Escondido Climate Action Plan (E -CAP) which outlined the Cit y’s goals and policies to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The updated E-CAP is used to analyze projects submitted to the City after its adoption, however those projects that had already been received by the City before the adoption of the update are analyzed using the 2012 E-CAP.
4. Site Design
a. Grading, topography, retaining wall, and fencing:
The Project includes a request for a Grading Exemption to construct slopes not in conformance with Section 33-1066 (c) (1) and (c)(4) of Article 55 (Grading and Er osion Control). The former section limits the construction of fill slopes within 50-feet of the property line to a height between 5-feet and 10-feet; and, the latter section limits cut slopes to a steepness of 2:1 ratio. As shown on the grading exemption exhibit, the applicant is proposing slopes up to 10-feet in height (which includes the height of the retaining walls) along the property line abuttin g Wedgewood and the property to the west; additionally, 1.5:1 cut slope is proposed adjacent to the property to the east.
The reason for the Grading Exemption is due to the change in elevation from north to south (25-feet) and east to west ( 14-feet). According to the grading plans, the existing elevation of the site sits around 745 feet; and, the project proposes to raise a portion of the site (i.e. the area that is to be developed) to 752 feet which will require the importing of dirt. This portion of the site will sit approximately 10-feet below the existing building to the north. The Project proposes the construction of retaining walls ranging in 3-feet to 7-feet in height. A condition of approval is incorporated into the approval of the project requiring the use of decorative material for portions of the wall exposed to neighboring properties.
The applicant will be responsible for landscaping the slope to ensure its stability. The proposed grading design will provide natural screening of the off-street parking, and the buildings will screen the slopes to the east. The proposed grading design will improve circulation on-site for its users , and allow for the construction of multiple single -story buildings as opposed to taller individual buildings. The applicant did consider alternatives to the proposed grading design e.g. a terraced grading concept and single flat grading concept; however, both alternatives would have led to either taller buildings or unusable areas of the site for the users.
14 Item 2.
Attachment "2"
211
Item11.
b. Project Access and Circulation:
Access to the project will be taken from Wedgewood Avenue via a newly constructed driveway, and from Reed Road via the extension of an existing driveway on -site. The driveways are 24-feet in width and can accommodate two -way traffic. Parking for the site will not be located near the existing building to the north, and is instead sited near the newly constructed buildings.
c. Building Orientation:
The 3 buildings will consist of two single -story versions (Buildings 1 and 2), and a two - story version (Building 3) centered around a landscaped courtyard. Building 3 will located towards the center of the site away from adjacent neighboring properties, and is approximately 54-feet from the easterly property line. The buildings are oriented around a central courtyard, and will screen on-site activity.
d. Open Space and Landscaping
The project is required to comply with Article 62 (Water Efficient Landscape Regulations), but is not subject to specific landscape requirements for the proposed use ; however, 16,304 square-feet of landscape area is proposed for the site. The site has an existing mature non -protected tree (California Pepper) which will be replaced as re quired by Section 33 -1069 (b)(4). The existing plant legend indicates the presence of several Mexican Fan Palms and Silk Floss Trees, but they are not considered mature or protected and are not required not be replaced. The applicant will provide 72 trees on-site consisting of a diverse range such as Bailey Acacia, Peppermint Tree, Strawberry Tree, and Western Redbud.
In order to address the difference in grade caused by the fill slope adjacent to the western property line, the applicant is proposing Dwarf Strawberry Tree to soften the appearance of the proposed retaining walls. The cut slopes subject to the Grading Exemption will be landscaped with a variety of trees and shrubs.
e. Parking:
Article 39 (Off-Street Parking) outlines a requirement of one parking space for each three beds for “Sanitariums, children’s homes, supportive housing, congregate and care facilities, asylums, nursing homes, etc. ” The project will have 53 (45 in the newly constructed buildings and eight in the existing building to the n orth) beds in total which would require 18 off-street parking spaces; 25 off-street parking spaces will be provided on-site. A review of operational characteristics justifies the proposed parking spaces due 15 Item 2.
Attachment "2"
212
Item11.
to the fact that residents will not have vehicles to use; visitations are required to be scheduled in advanced; and, staffing is limited to four to five staff members per building.
5. Building Design:
a. Building Height, Mass, and Scale:
The project includes two single-story buildings located adjacent to Wedgewood and the property line to the east, and one two-story building centrally located. The building s heights will be consistent with the underlying zoning district, and with the surrounding neighborhood. The height of the single -story buildings will be approximately 19-feet at the tallest point, and the two-story building will be approximately 24-feet. The buildings will be constructed with varying roof lines to soften the massing and scale of the structures. The buildings are designed to appear as single-family residences and to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood.
b. Building Materials:
The building material will primarily consist of stucco with varying finishes. The proposed roof material is tile and will have a terracotta like finish for the color. A variety of window materials are proposed such as aluminum grills, and varying window shapes and sizes.
The proposed architecture avoids an institutionalized appearance, and will blend in with the surrounding residences.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The applicant is responsible for payment of applicable development impact fees associated with the Project.
ENVIRONMENTIAL ANALYSIS
The Project qualifies for an exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15332 (Infill Development), which is included as Attachment 2 to this report.
PUBLIC INPUT
Staff has received two comments from the public regarding the proposed project. The main concerns were regarding potential traffic issues, and sewer capabilities. The Project as conditioned will be required to improve sewer to the site to accommodate the development of the site. The Project will not have a significant impact on traffic because it is screened out from doing a VMT analysis. 16 Item 2.
Attachment "2"
213
Item11.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, and the underlying zoning district. The Project as proposed will not have a significant effect on the environment, as designed and conditioned. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed project will not be incompatible with, adversely affect, nor be materially detrimental to adjacent land uses. The site is suitable for the type and intensity of use and development which is proposed. Based on the analysis in this staff report, s taff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Project based upon the factors/findings and conditions as described in this staff report and as detailed in Exhibits “A” through “D” to Draft Planning Commission Resolution No. 2023-08.

SUBJECT
PL23-0109 – DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT
DEPARTMENT
Development Services Department, Planning Division
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2023-11 amending the list of permitted uses within the Downtown Specific Plan to allow “All types of eating establishments providing meal service from an on- site operating commercial-grade kitchen, and / or dessert service from an on-site operating commercial- grade freezer / refrigerator facility with, or without, incidental sale of alcohol (including micro-breweries and outdoor dining, but with no drive-through), with no live amplified entertainment or dancing” within the Creekside Neighborhood District.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services: Andrew Firestine, Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Ivan Flores, Associate Planner
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The project is a request to amend the list of permitted uses within the Creekside Neighborhood District of the Downtown Specific Plan. On March 22, 2023, the City Council authorized the reduction of fees due to the limited scope of work involved in processing the request. No other fiscal impacts are anticipated from the proposed project.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On March 22, 2023, the City Council authorized the intake of the application, and a reduction in fees due to the limited scope of work involved in processing the request.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On July 11, 2023, the Planning Commission voted 4 -0 (Commissioners Barba, Mecaro, and Fitzgerald absent) recommending approval of the Project to the City Council. The discussion during the hearing mainly focused on the reasoning behind limiting the number of properties affected by the proposed text amendment. Staff explained to the Commission that the affected properties served as a transition point from the residential uses to north to the more inten se commercial uses to the south; additionally, the 235
Item12.
Creekside Neighborhood District is comprised of mainly residential uses with the exception of the properties on Pennsylvania and Washington avenues.
BACKGROUND
The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) was adopted on August 7 th, 2013 by the City Council (PHG13-0018).
The DSP envision s Downtown Escondido as a dynamic, attractive, and economically vital city center.
Downtown is a pedestrian oriented environment meant to attract local and non -local visitors. Since its adoption, the DSP has been amen ded several times to reflect changes in land use patterns, and to facilitate development within the Downtown area.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Carina Kennedy (“Applicant”) has submitted a request to amend the list of permitted and conditional uses outlined in Figure II-2 of the DSP. The text amendment consists of revising the table to allow for “All types of eating establishments providing meal service from an on-site operating commercial-grade kitchen, and / or dessert service from an on -site operating commercia l-grade freezer / refrigerator facility with, or without, incidental sale of alcohol (including micro -breweries and outdoor dining, but with no drive - through), with no live amplified entertainment or dancing” within the Creekside Neighborhood (CN) district of the DSP (“Project”). The stated land use is already permitted in some manner in all other districts within the DSP. This amendment will allow for the Applicant to apply for a license to sell alcohol from the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The text amendment will only affect 12 properties located on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue that are within the CN district.
A complete Project description and analysis of the Project can be found on the July 11, 2023 , Planning Commission staff report (Attachment “1”).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guideline’s list classes of projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and as a result are exempt from further environmental review under CEQA. The Project qualifies for an exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15061 (Common Sense Exemption) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The CEQA Notice of Exemption prepared for the Project is incorporated into this staff report by this reference (see Attachment “2”). The Notice of Exemption demonstrates that the Project qualifies for these exemptions and will n ot have a significant effect on the environment.
236
Item12.
CONCLUSION
The Project proposes to amend the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses to allow restaurants, with or without alcohol, within the Creekside Neighborhood (CN) District of the Downtown Specific Plan.
The Project would affect a limited number of properties within the CN District, and impacts to surrounding land uses would be minimal du e to the commercial composition of the area. The Project would also provide an additional amenity to those who reside in the area. The Project is consistent with the guiding principles identified in the Land Use and Community Form Element and the Economic Prosperity Element of the Escondido General Plan, and the Downtown Specific Plan.
Both the Planning Commission and City staff recommend that the City Council approve the Project, through adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-11.

BACKGROUND
The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) was adopted on August 7th, 2013, by the City Council (PHG13-0018). The purpose of the DSP is to envision Downtown Escondido as a dynamic, attractive, and economically vital city center.
Downtown is a pedestrian oriented environment meant to attract local and n on-local visitors. Since its adoption, the DSP has been amended several times to reflect changes in land use patterns, and to facilitate development of the Downtown area.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Carina Kennedy (“Applicant”) has submitted a request to amend the list of permitted and conditional uses outlined in Figure II- 2 of the DSP. The text amendment consists of revising the table to allow for “ All types of eating establishments providing meal service from an on-site operating commercial-grade kitchen, and / or dessert service from an on-site operating commercial-grade freezer / refrigerator facility with, or without, incidental sale of alcohol (including micro-breweries and outdoor dining, but with no drive-through), with no live amplified entertainment or dancing” within a portion of the Creekside Neighborhood (CN) district of the DSP (“Project”). This will allow for the Applicant to apply for a license to sell alcohol from the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
The text amendment will only affect 12 properties located on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue that are within the CN district.
The subject property is located at 341 Pennsylvania Avenue and is bounded by North Juniper Street to the west and North Ivy Street to east (see Attachment 1 for Location, General Plan land use designation, and zoning).
SUPPLEMENTAL DETAILS OF REQUEST
1. Property Size: .17 gross acres
PROJECT ANALYSIS
1. General Plan Conformance:
a. Land Use and Community Form:
The City’s 2012 General Plan land use designation for the project site is Specific Plan Area (SPA 9, Downtown Specific Plan) which encompasses approximately 475 gross acres. The proposed Project conforms to several policies outlined in SPA 9 Guiding Principles such as offering a dynamic, attractive, economically vital center to residents and non -residents. The Project will provide additional amenities to an area of the Downtown Specific Plan that currently lacks restaurant uses, and is consistent with the vision outlined in the City’s 2012 General Plan.
b. Economic Prosperity
The Project is consistent with several policies outlined in the Economic Prosperity Element of the City’s 2012 General Plan including:
Attachment "1"
254
Item12.
Small Business and Entrepreneurship Policy 3.2: Identify and remove obstacles to the formation and expansion of local business, where appropriate.
The Project would allow a small business expand its current offerings to include the sale of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with the coffee and pastries they already offer. This additional service would allow for the business to expand its offerings and contribute to its success as a small business.
2. Zoning or Specific Plan Conformance:
The Project site is located within the Creekside Neighborhood (CN) of the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP). As stated above, the purpose of the DSP is to facilitate an economically vibrant downtown with a variety of services and business for locals and non -locals. The CN district encompasses approximately 28 acres located in the northeast corner of the DSP, Pennsylvania and Washington avenues (north/south) and Kalmia and Hickory streets (east/west). The area is in close proximity to Downtown’s amenities, and wo uld offer an additional service to those who live within the CN district and surrounding area. Additionally, the proposed text amendment would affect only a small number of parcels located on the south side of Pennsylvania Avenue, and would not affect the entirety of the CN district.

SUBJECT
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION UPDATE
DEPARTMENT
City Clerk’s Office
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council receive and file an update on campaign contribution regulations in the State of California.
Staff Recommendation: Receive and File (City Clerk’s Office: Zack Beck, City Clerk) Presenter: Zack Beck, City Clerk
PREVIOUS ACTION
On November 18, 2020, the City Council adopte d Ordinance No. 2020 -27 which states that, “No person other than a candidate shall make, and no campaign treasurer shall solicit or accept, any contribution which will cause the total amount contributed by such person with respect to a single election in support of or opposition to such candidate, including contributions to all controlled committees supporting such candidate, to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for any single election for a city council district office, or to exceed one thousand sev en hundred fifty dollars ($1,750.00) for any single election for the office of mayor or city treasurer.”
In 2020, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 571, which applies a default campaign contribution limit to city candidates when the city has not already enacted a contribution limit. The 2023- 2024 contribution limits for c ity candidates in c ities that have not enacted limits is $5,500. Please note that none of the provisions of AB 571 apply to candidates in Escondido, since the City has en acted campaign contribution limits.
BACKGROUND
In 2022, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 1439, a bill that amended Section 84308 (Attachment 1) of the Political Reform Act. The changes took effect on January 1, 2023. SB 1439 provides that local elected officials – including city council members – are now required to “conflict out” of certain proceedings involving persons that made contributions to their respective political campaigns. The statute also prohibits officials from accepting, so liciting, or directing contributions exceeding $250 from a party 261
Item13.
to or participant in the proceeding, or their agents, while such a proceeding is pending and for 12 months after the final decision in the proceeding.
On June 15, 2023, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) adopted new and amended regulations, to clarify some of the questions raised by public agencies as to how to implement SB 1439. Many questions still remain as to how the new law will work in practice. Highlights of the new and ame nded regulations include:
Applicability. The FPPC confirmed that the Levine Act’s amended provisions do not apply to contributions made or received, or proceedings participated in, prior to January 1, 2023, for elected officials.
Definition of “Pending” Proceeding. The FPPC created a context-specific approach to determining when a proceeding is “pending” for purposes of the Levine Act. o With respect to officers , a proceeding is considered “pending” when (1) the decision is before the officer (for members of the governing body, this includes when the item is placed on the agenda for discussion or decision at a public meeting of the body) or (2) it is reasonably foreseeable the decision will come before the officer and the officer knows or has reason to know the decision is within the jurisdiction of the agency. o With respect to a party or participant, a proceeding is “pending” once the entitlement for use decision is within the jurisdiction of the agency (e.g., once the application has been filed). This means p arties and participants must refrain from making contributions exceeding $250 to an officer, once an application has been filed with the agency, even though the decision has not yet come before the officer. However, officers would not be at risk of violating the Levine Act by accepting a contribution from a party or participant in instances where the officer does not know or have any reason to know about the proceeding.
Definition of “Knows or Has Reason to Know.” Under the Levine Act, when an officer know s or has reason to know that a participant has a financial interest in a proceeding, the officer is prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $250 from the participant. Likewise, an officer is prohibited from taking part in a proceeding if, within the preceding 12 months, the officer has willingly or knowingly received a contribution exceeding $250 from a party or party’s agent, or participant or participant’s agent if the officer knows or has reason to know of the participant’s financial interest in the decision. o The FPPC has clarified that an officer knows or has reason to know of a participant’s financial interest in a decision only if the officer has actual knowledge of the financial 262
Item13.
interest, or the participant reveals facts in written or oral statements during the proceeding before the officer that make the person’s financial interest apparent. While all relevant facts should be considered, an official aware of the following facts has reason to know of a participant’s potential financial interest and may not take part in the proceeding if the official has received a disqualifying contribution from that participant or participant’s agent:
The participant has an interest in property within 500 feet of the real property at issue in the proceeding;
The participant has an economic interest in a business entity that may see a significant increase or decrease in customers as a result of the proceeding; or
The participant has a business relationship with the applicant that may result in additional services provided to the applicant. o An officer does not know or have reason to know of a participant’s financial interest in a decision solely as a result of the participant identifying an economic interest located in the general vicin ity of a business entity or real property at issue in the proceeding. (Amended Regulation 18438.7.)
Willful or Knowing Receipt of a Contribution. The FPPC has provided details as to when an officer is considered to have willfully or knowingly received a co ntribution, and has clarified that an officer without actual knowledge of the contribution from a party or participant does not have reason to know of the contribution based solely on the fact that the contribution was reported as required by law. (Amended Regulation 18438.7.)
o However, an officer does have reason to know of a contribution previously reported under the Act’s reporting provisions made by a party in a proceeding noticed on an agenda for a public meeting before the body or board or, for officer s not on a body or board, where the proceeding is otherwise before the officer in the officer’s decision - making capacity. (Amended Regulation 18438.7.)
Learning of a Contribution During a Meeting. An officer who learns of a participant’s financial interest or contribution during the proceeding must disclose the contribution prior to any further participation in the meeting. The officer may still take part in the proceeding if the official discloses the disqualifying contribution on the record, confirms that it will be returned within 30 days following the time the officer knew or should have known about the contribution, and the contribution is returned within that timeframe. (Amended Regulation 18438.8; Amended Regulation 18438.7)
263
Item13.
Party’s Obligation to Disc lose Contributions. On the date a party to a proceeding files an application or other request initiating the proceeding, the party must disclose the amount of any contribution(s) made within the preceding 12 months and the names of the contributors. For a contribution made during any stage of the proceeding, the party must disclose the contribution within 30 days of making the contribution, or on the date on which the party makes its first appearance before or communication with the agency regarding the pro ceeding following the contribution, whichever is earliest. (Amended Regulation 18438.8.) Definition of “Officer.” The FPPC revised the definition of “officer of the agency” to provide that an “officer” is an individual who may make, participate in making, or attempt to influence a decision in the proceeding or who exercises authority over officers who may do so. The definition specifically includes an individual who is a candidate for elected office or who has been a candidate in the 12 months prior to the decision. (Amended Regulation 18438.1.) This means that the Levine Act applies to an officer even if the officer has already lost the election. Definition of “Agent.” The FPPC clarified that a person acting as the representative of a party or participant in a proceeding must also be compensated in order to be considered an “agent” for purposes of the Levine Act. (Amended Regulation 18438.3.) Aggregation. Contributions made by a party and a party’s agent, or a participant and a participant’s agent, are aggregated for purposes of the Levine Act’s $250 limit. The FPPC clarified the rules regarding aggregation, and specifically excluded uncompensated officers of nonprofit organizations from the aggregation requirement. (Amended Regulation 18438.5.) Legally Required Participation. Applies “legally required participation” exception to officers otherwise disqualified under the Levine Act. (Regulation 18705.) City of Escondido Ordinance No. 2019 -07 requires online or electronic reporting of contributions and independent expenditures regarding elections of candidates to city offices in order to facilitate review and maximize the availability of this information to the public. Those contributions are available for the public to view on the City’s Website at the following link: https://public.netfile.com/pub2/?AID=ESC In order to comply with SB 1439, the City Clerk’s Office will monitor campaign contributions and work with the City Attorney’s Office to determine when an officer is prohibited from taking part in a proceeding.

STAFF REPORT
August 16, 2023
File Number 0610-90
SUBJECT
PUBLIC COMMENT POLICY
DEPARTMENT
City Clerk’s Office
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council consider and provide direction to staff regarding the City of Escondido’s (“City”) current public comment policy.
Staff Recommendation: Provide Direction (City Clerk’s Office: Zack Beck) Presenter: Zack Beck, City Clerk
PREVIOUS ACTION
On May 24, 2023, Councilmember Morasco requested a future agenda item to discuss the City’s public comment policy . On June 21, 2023, Council discussed the City’s current public comment policy and requested that adjustments to the City’s public comment policy be considered at a future meeting.
BACKGROUND
Current City Council Meeting Practice.
City Council meetings are live streamed on the City’s webpage at https://www.escondido.org/meeting- broadcasts and are available for viewing on pu blic television on Cox Communications Channel 19 in Escondido. The public is (and has always been) able to view archived meetings on the City’s website.
In order to address the needs for public comment under the Brown Act as suspended and modified by executive orders during the pandemic, the City implemented the practice of allowing the public to submit comments on the City’s website at: https://escondido-ca.municodemeetings.com/bc- citycouncil/webform/public-comment on March 25, 2020.
The City Clerk circulates comments submitted through this portal to the City Council before the meeting and reads the comments submitted before the deadline (4:00 p.m. the day before the Council Meeting) aloud for both oral communications and agenda items during the Council Meeting. 268
Item14.
In all cases, the Clerk reads the public comments verbatim received on agenda and non -agenda items at the meeting for up to the (pre-existing) three minute speaking time. Thereafter, the Clerk’s Office makes all public comments a part of the public record.
On February 3, 2021, the City Council directed staff to continue the practice of allowing comments to be submitted electronically and read into the record by the City Clerk.
Public Comment Practices in San Diego County
The City Clerk’s Office studied how other local public agencies are handling public comment for their jurisdictions. Of the eighteen cities surveyed in San Diego County, nine allow comments to be submitted electronically by the public (Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Del Mar , Encinitas, Escondido, Imperial Beach, Oceanside, National City, San Diego ). Of those cities that do provide for electronic submission of public comments, two read the comments into the record and circulate the comments to the City Council (Escondido and Imperial Beach). The remaining cities do not read comments into the record and circulate them to the City Council.
Conclusion
The Clerk’s Office accepts public comments electronically through the City’s website and then distributes those written public comments to allow the councilmembers to read them before the meeting. The Clerk thereafter publicly reads the comments verbatim f or up to three minutes at the meeting. The public comments are then permanently filed as part of the minutes of the meeting. The City Council may adjust the proposed Council Policies and Rules of Procedure (Resolution No. 2023-111) as they see fit in order to codify the public comment policy.

To the extent such policies provide for per diem reimbursements, auto allowances, and related forms of reimbursement rather than receipt-specific reimbursement, it is hereby determined that such per diem or fixed amount reimbursements, so long as applicable to all city employees, are the best and most efficient method of reimbursing expenses on an actual and necessary basis.

11. Council Use of City Staff for Public Events.
The Council believes that making opportunities available for Council members to interact with the public outside of regular public meetings is a benefit to the Council and residents of the City.

285
Item14.

Such recommendations shall be made in coordination with the City Manager’s office. Upon approval by the Mayor, such proclamations shall then be prepared by the City Manager’s office in a manner such as to preserve consistency in design and form of the City. Proclamations will normally be signed on behalf of the City by the Mayor.
However, if some or all City Councilmembers also wish to sign a proclamation, and signatures can be obtained in a timely manner, proclamations may be signed by the full City Council or by those members wishing to sign the document.

A motion to postpone to a definite time shall be amendable and debatable as to propriety of postponement and time set.
h. A motion to refer shall not be debatable except for the propriety of referring.

Item14.
12 In su ch circumstances, the Council directs that the Mayor (or as appropriate the City Manager or City Attorney) shall answer such correspondence on behalf of the City, according to the procedure set forth below.
In addition to individual e -mail addresses, t he City Manager’s Office shall also establish a shared email address by which citizens may direct emails to all Council members at the same time. The shared email address shall be featured on the City’s website and in other publications in such a manner as to allow citizens to use the address and thereby communicate with all Council member s at the same time. All Council members shall have access to review items in the mailbox at all times. All responses to such emails shall also be sent from the shared mailbox, such that all Council members may review such responses.
With respect to other communications, such as those involving other governmental entities, organizations , and related entities where such communication occurs between the entities rather than specific individuals, the Mayor sh all respond on behalf of the City, with copies to all Council members. Matters involving routine city administrative issues shall generally be responded to by either the City Manager or City Attorney, as appropriate, on behalf of the City. With respect to correspondence that consists of invitations to events, the Mayor and Council shall coordinate such invitations with the City Manager's support staff.
Because substantial portions of City Council communication, whether electronic or written, is subject to California's Public Records laws, all City Council communications shall be coordinated with the City Manager for the purpose of compliance with various laws governing public records. All Council members using city computers shall be subject to the City's Administrative Directives regarding computer use.
2. Press Releases.

Council members shall be bound by all City polic ies, as expressed in Administrative Directives or otherwise, regarding travel on City business.
The City Council shall fix an amount in the City Council budget which each Council member may use for business-related education and travel expenses, including attendance at seminars, conferences and other related educational opportunities. These funds will be separate from any budget e stablished for Council member participation in committees associated with other public agencies and entities. If these funds are not used during the fiscal year appropriated, they shall be returned to the General Fund.
Elected officials shall provide brief reports on meetings attended at the City’s expense at the next regular City Council meeting. If multiple elected officials attended, a joint report may be made. Reports may be provided in writing as part of the Agenda packet distribution.

7. Review of Reimbursements.
The Director of Finan ce or a designee shall review all City Council requests for reimbursement of expenses for consistency with City policy on such expenses.
In all cases, Council members shall be bound by the same policies and procedures adopted and applicable for all City employees on a citywide basis. To the extent such policies provide for per diem reimbursements, auto allowances, and related forms of reimbursement rather than receipt-specific reimbursement, it is hereby determined that such per diem or fixed amount reimbursements, so long as applicable to all city employees, are the best and most efficient method of reimbursing expenses on an actual and necessary basis.
9. Council Salary.
To assure attention to the Council compensation allowable under state law , the City Council shall have an agenda item during a meeting in December of odd number ed years for the purpose of determining whether or not to take action regarding Council compensation.

11. Council Use of City Staff for Public Events.
The Council believes that making opportunities available for Council members to interact with the public outside of regular public meetings is a benefit to the Council and residents of the City. The ability to communicate to the public the availability of the Councilmembers for such events is critical to their success.
Council members may request through the City Manager’s Office the services of City staff to assist in the hosting of public events related to City business including, but not limited to , the electronic posting o f notices of public events involving the Council members on the City’s social media platforms . To the greatest extent possible, t he amount of staff resources devoted to such efforts shall be equal among all Council members.
To the extent any such staff efforts require time beyond the posting of notices on the City’s or related website, the City Manager shall be responsible for determining whether such personnel resources are available, whether there is a sufficient budget to cover the costs related to such efforts, and ensuring that all council members may obtain like and equal services during the course of any fiscal year .

Item15.
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference and
Expo, Cal Cities members
may submit policy
proposals on issues of
importance to cities. The
resolution must have the concurrence
of at least five additional member cities
or individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions
Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure that we are representing California cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policy that erodes local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how Resolutions and the General Assembly works.
The petitioned resolution
is an alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during the
annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of member
cities, and submitted to the Cal Cities
President at least 24 hours before the
beginning of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities President
assigns general resolutions
to policy committees where
members review, debate,
and recommend positions for
each policy proposal. Recommendations are
forwarded to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions
Committee includes
representatives from
each Cal Cities diversity
caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly
is a meeting of the
collective body of
all voting delegates —
one from every
member city.
Seven Policy
Committees meet
throughout the year to
review and recommend
positions to take on
bills and regulatory
proposals. Policy
committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division,
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions Committee.
Potential Cal Cities bylaws amendments are also
considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a
member-informed
process, grounded
in the voices and
experiences of city
officials throughout
the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions Committee
considers all resolutions.
General Resolutions approved
1 by either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee
are next considered by the General
Assembly. General resolutions not approved,
or referred for further study by both a policy
committee and the Resolutions Committee
do not go the General Assembly. All
Petitioned Resolutions are considered by the
General Assembly, unless disqualified.
2 • Voting delegates will receive increased communications to prepare them for their role during the General Assembly.
• The General Assembly will take place earlier to allow more time for debate and discussion.
• Improvements to the General Assembly process will make it easier for voting delegates to discuss and debate resolutions.
What’s new in 2023?
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).
