adopted by the city council on November 21, 1989, as may be amended. The approval authority shall find that the proposed development is in compliance with the design standards prior to granting any development approval within the NC Overlay District.

For CO zoned parcels south of Business Center Drive, any new building containing an expanded use as listed in Section F below shall incorporate materials and design equal to or better than those approved for buildings in the Green Valley Technical Plaza and Green Valley Office Park. New and existing buildings may include roll-up doors and up to two loading bays or docks that facilitate direct loading from the building into trucks. No more than one roll-up door may be permitted on a street-facing elevation. Truck bays or docks may not be located on a street-facing elevation. Trim, materials, and paint for all roll-up doors shall be coordinated to blend with the building design to minimize the doors’ visual impact.

D. Traffic standards. Within the NC Overlay District, the City shall not approve any disposition and development agreement or other discretionary permit for commercial development that is greater than 10,000 square feet or that generates more than 150 daily trips if calculated Levels of Service (LOS) at the time of approval at any major intersection, as defined in Section 6.1 of the GVSA, is either operating at a level of service lower than LOS D, as a result of the proposed approval in combination with existing traffic levels and projected traffic from the projects described in Section 1.29 of the GVSA and all other approved residential and commercial agreements in North Cordelia.

E. Public art. Development within the boundary of the NC Overlay District shall include public art in the project or pay an in-lieu fee. As required by the Price Club Settlement Agreement (City Council Resolution 91-277), a public art fee equal to 0.0025 percent of the building permit valuation for a project shall be paid concurrent ly with issuance of a building permit. In lieu of payment of this fee, the developer may purchase public art or construct public art for inclusion in the project. Public art shall include, but shall not be limited to water features, sculptures, and tapestries. Design features incorporated into proposed building architecture, such as cornices, pilasters, or special paving materials, are not considered public art. The City shall approve all public art projects.

F. Expanded Land Uses. Within the NC Overlay District, parcels located south of Business Center Drive with an Office Commercial (CO) zoning designation may operate the following additional land uses by right or conditionally, as specified in Table 25 -NC.

SECTION 3. The council hereby makes the following finding pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); based on the information contained in the staff report and presented by staff, the council has determined that this ordinance amendment is exempt from CEQA review per Government Code Section 15305. Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations. The text amendments would allow for an expanded list of permitted land uses. The additional uses proposed have lower Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation assessments. Additionally, incorporating a wider variety of employment opportunities and industrial business services will lead to lower vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for employees and consumers in the area. Lower traffic impacts result in lower air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy impacts. The new land uses introduced by the proposed Overlay would result in lesser environmental impacts than any of the existing permitted uses under the current zoning designation.

SECTION 4. This Ordinance shall be effective 30 days following its adoption by the council. A summary of this Ordinance shall, within fifteen (15) days after passage, be published in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California with the names of the City Councilmembers voting for and against it.

INTRODUCED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Fairfield on the 5th day of March 2024, and

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 19th day of March 2024, by the following vote:

The council discussed its vision for North Cordelia at a study session on September 12, 2023, and provided directions regarding the applicant’s request for various industrial uses. At that meeting, the council indicated support for expanding the set of permitted uses for the site to include a range of IBP activities and some manufacturing but not warehouses. They also expressed opposition to trucks at this location. The council then directed staff to return with a Zoning Amendment.

Following council direction, staff reviewed various options for implementing the applicant’s request. With the applicant’s concurrence, staff concluded that the most straightforward approach was to amend an overlay zone throughout North Cordelia. The “North Cordelia” (NC) Overlay provides a set of special regulations, in addition to underlying zoning regulations, for land in Cordelia north of I­80.

The amendment does not change the site’s underlying CO zoning. Instead, it amends the NC Overlay to add, as permitted activities, selected IBP uses for CO­zoned properties south of Business Center Drive, west of Green Valley Road. This range includes the applicant’s 5253 Business Center Drive property and a matching building next door at 5251 Business Center Drive. The allowed uses include Limited Manufacturing (the City’s “light industrial” use category) and prohibits warehousing as a primary activity. In addition to expanding allowed uses, the amendment provides various restrictions to implement the council’s concerns about truck traffic, including specific restrictions on installing roll­up doors and truck docks and restrictions on hours that large trucks can access sites with CO zoning.

Ordinance 2024­01:

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 13, 2023, reviewed the initial overlay proposal amendment (Attachment 2) with a staff recommendation to approve. Various portions of the ordinance were intended to allow light manufacturing activities but adhered to the opposition expressed by council members regarding trucks in September 2023. Specifically, the staff recommendation allowed for roll­up doors to be installed to minimize visibility from the street but prohibited the installation of more elaborate truck docks. Truck docks, often depressed below grade, allow trucks to back up to the building and facilitate more accessible and faster loading and unloading. Staff found its recommendation to prohibit these facilities was consistent with the council's direction to exclude, where possible, trucks from accessing the site.

Following the public hearing and deliberations, the Planning Commission made one change to the staff proposal. The Planning Commission recommended the ordinance allow for the installation of up to four truck docks in a location not visible from the street. The Planning Commission’s reasoning for this recommendation, consistent with the applicant’s input at the hearing, was that light manufacturing activities typically include truck operations. Building improvements should facilitate trucks if the intent is to allow light manufacturing at the site. The Planning Commission felt that a small number of truck docks – four – was a reasonable balance between competing desires.

Ordinance 2024­02:

Staff presented Ordinance 2024­01 to the council on January 16, 2024; which precluded all truck docks. The council unanimously approved the first reading of Ordinance 2024­01 (Attachment 2). Following the meeting, however, staff concluded the agenda report and Ordinance 2024­01 did not sufficiently describe and include the Planning Commission’s complete recommendation to allow four (4) truck docks. The March 5, 2024, public hearing is intended to fully explain the commission’s recommendation for the four (4) truck docks and present it to the council as detailed in Ordinance 2024­02 (Attachment 1). The staff recommends the council adopt this ordinance.

Options to approve zoning changes:

The council meeting on March 5, 2024, will consider either a second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2024­01 or introduce proposed Ordinance 2024­02 (Attachment 1).

1. Council members may follow the staff’s new recommendation to adopt Ordinance 2024­02 with the Planning Commission’s recommendation to allow up to four truck docks on a building. To do this, they will need to take action to counter their approval of the first reading of Ordinance 2024­01 that prohibits truck docks outright.

To follow this recommendation, a motion will need to be made to take two separate actions: 1) Deny the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2024­01 (Attachment 2), and 2) Approve the first reading and introduction of the Ordinance 2024­02 (Attachment 1).

2.Council members may approve the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 2024­01 originally considered at the January 16th meeting prohibiting truck docks outright.

In addition to the options described earlier to approve zoning changes for the site, the council could consider other choices. These include 1) denying all proposed ordinances, making no changes to site zoning, or 2) modifying any of the proposed regulations.

The applicant seeks to allow the more intense “medium manufacturing” activity to the list of allowed uses, with no design and regulations, and indicates that he would like to install as many as six truck docks in his building. The Planning Commission and staff do not support these changes. The staff is concerned about ensuring compatibility of manufacturing uses with housing across Business Center Drive. Staff also opposes removing design standards, in order to ensure that, if the buildings are torn down or modified, the site will retain the more detailed office and retail character along this stretch of Business Center Drive. Finally, the staff concurs with the Planning Commission’s recommendation of four docks as a sufficient balance between the need for trucks to support industrial activities and the council’s concern about introducing additional trucks west of Green Valley Road.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) partners with the Department of Defense (DOD) to provide the Veterans Local Government Management Fellowship (VLGMF) program. The City seeks to enter into agreement with ICMA to participate in the VLGMF.

DISCUSSION
The DOD offers the SkillBridge program to military service members to gain valuable work experience in the civilian job market as they exit active duty military service. The SkillBridge program allows service members the opportunity to gain valuable specific industry training, apprenticeships, and internships during their last 180 days of service. As employees of the DOD, SkillBridge participants maintain their service status while being granted opportunity to bridge the gap between their military service and a civilian career.

Private businesses or public agencies may contract directly with DOD to participate in the SkillBridge program. Alternatively, some industry associations, such as ICMA, have partnered with the DOD to provide blanket SkillBridge agreements for their members. ICMA’s program, the VLGMF, provides qualifying service members with the opportunity to serve as a management fellow as a fast­track pathway to careers in local government management.

In addition to experience and mentorship for a local government career, VLGMF fellows receive a complimentary two­year ICMA membership and free registration to the ICMA Annual Conference, among other membership benefits.

RESOLUTION POLICY

WHEREAS, the City Council is sometimes requested to take action on matters that are outside of the City of Fairfield’s service, program, or policy purview; and

WHEREAS, the council finds a need to establish a formal policy to restrict its own deliberations on matters that are outside of their local policy-making responsibility, or on matters where the council lacks jurisdiction or substantial influence; and

Attachment A
Council Resolution Policy

Purpose
The City Council is sometimes requested to take action on matters that are outside of the City of Fairfield’s service, program, or policy purview. To address appropriate response to those requests, the council established this policy to restrict its own deliberations on matters that are outside of their local policy-making responsibility, or on matters where the council lacks jurisdiction or substantial influence. This policy provides a framework for deli berations to maintain City resources and public time, focused on matters most related to issues directly impacting the City of Fairfield.

Policy
Every citizen of the United States has a fundamental right to the freedom of speech. The City Council of the City of Fairfield supports citizens’ right to express their views and opinions to persons in any branch of the federal, state, county, or city government. With this inalienable right, it is also appropriate to recognize that not all views or opinions dire ctly pertain to the service, program, policy, or legal responsibilities of the City of Fairfield.

This policy aims to balance the broad views of citizens with the business expediency, fiscal judiciousness, and efficacy of decisions by the council. It does this by focusing policy decisions on the most locally germane issues.

To best align City Council resolutions on those matters most germane to the City, the basic criteria for resolutions are:

1. The primary purpose of the resolution must be to give special recognition to local issues, actions, and/or programs of value to the citizens of Fairfield.

2. The resolution must address an item which has either civic, cultural, social, economic, philanthropic, or educational value to the municipality or its citizens.

3. The resolution may not dehumanize, degrade, or ridicule any segment of humanity.

4. The resolution cannot advocate for the violent overthrow of any of the levels of United States Government.

5. It is further the policy of the Council that the City of Fairfield shall not act or take a position on:
a. Matters concerning the foreign policy of the United States of America nor its relationship to other countries of the world except at the expressed request of an elected official of the federal government or an autho rized representative of a department or agency of the federal government, except those matters directly affecting the City and citizenry of Fairfield.

Packet Page 494 of 516Attachment 2 Page 1 of 2

b. Acts of the Legislative or Executive Branches of the state or federal government if such acts do not affect the existing or potential resources, material or human, of the City of Fairfield which may be directly applied to the solution of municipal problems relating to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this city. c. Actions or lack of action on the part of any State within the Union other than the State of California or any other political subdivision of such other state when no impact is felt upon the government of the City of Fairfield. d. Actions or lack of actions on the part of the Judicial Branch of any government or any of its members except through its attorney acting in accordance with appropriate procedures, except those matters directly affecting the City and citizenry of Fairfield.

This policy is not intended to limit the prerogative of members of the City Council to place before the City Council any questions which they deem to be appropriate for consideration, nor is it intended to limit debate on issues which meet the above criteria.

Declaratory Letters
On matters that do not meet the above criteria for Council consideration of resolution, members of the City Council may individually or collectively issue a declaratory letter representing their position on the matter. In compliance with the Ralph M. Bro wn Act, only fewer than a majority of the entire Council may discuss issuance of a declaratory letter representing their position.

Any declaratory letter must include express language stating that the position contained in the letter does not represent an official position of the City of Fairfield, and only represents the personal position of the undersigned.

Resolution 2024­61 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Levying an Assessment for Calendar Year 2024 for the North Texas Street Business Improvement District; and Resolution 2024­62 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Approving an Agreement with the North Texas Street Business Association for the Calendar Year 2024 Operation and Administration of the North Texas Street Business Improvement District RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing and adopt resolutions.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
A public hearing is necessary for the City Council to hear and consider protests, if any, to the resolution declaring its intention to levy and collect an assessment for the calendar year of 2024 for businesses in the North Texas Street Business Improvement District (BID).

In the event that there is not a majority protest to the levy of the assessment, the council is being asked to adopt a resolution approving an agreement (Agreement) that will allow the total anticipated assessments of $53,000 from BID to pass through to the North Texas Street Business Association (NTSBA) to implement its work program and activities.
