City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 1

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background
The City Council of the City of Fairfield (the “City”) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways Code Section 22500 et seq.) (the “1972 Act”), has adopted its Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Annual Levy and Collection of Assessments and ordered the preparation of an Engineer’s Report for the City’s Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) (the “District”) for Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2025/26.

The Resolution Initiating Proceedings directed NBS to prepare and file an Annual Report for FY 2025/26 pursuant to the requirements of the 1972 Act. The Annual Report presents the plans and specifications describing the general nature, location and extent of the improvements to be maintained, an estimate of the costs of the maintenance, operations and servicing of the improvements for the District for the referenced fiscal year, diagrams for the District, showing the area and properties proposed to be assessed, and an assessment of the estimated costs of the maintenance, operations, and servicing the improvements, assessing the net amount upon all assessable lots and/or parcels in the District in proportion to the special benefit received.

The following assessment is proposed to be authorized in order to pay the estimated costs of administration, maintenance, operation, and servicing of the improvements to be paid by the assessable real property in the District in proportion to the special benefit received.

1.2 Process for Annual Assessment
The District was formed and assessments were established in previous fiscal years. As required by the procedures specified in the Act, an Engineer’s Report must be prepared on an annual basis which contains a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the assessment district and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the assessment district. The Engineer’s Report may also identify future planned projects.

The City Council must also annually adopt a resolution of intention which:
 Declares the intention of the City Council to levy and collect assessments within the assessment district for the fiscal year stated therein.
 Generally describes the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made in existing improvements.
 Refers to the assessment district by its distinctive designation and indicates the general location of the assessment district.
 Refers to the report of the engineer, on file with the City Clerk, for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of the assessment district and any zones therein, and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land within the assessment district.  Gives notice of the time and place for public hearing by the City Council on the levy of the proposed assessment.

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 2  States whether the assessment is proposed to increase from the previous year.

If the assessments are to be levied in the same or lesser amounts than the maximum assessment allowed, the City Clerk shall give notice of the public hearing by causing the resolution of intention to be published at least 10 days prior to the date of the public hearing. Any interested person may, prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, file a written protest which shall state all grounds of objection. The protest shall contain a description sufficient to identify the property owned by the property owner filing the protest.

During the course or upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may order changes in any of the matters provided in the report, including changes in the improvements, any zones within the assessment district, and the proposed diagram or the proposed assessment. If the assessment to be levied exceeds the maximum assessment allowed, the City must comply with the procedures specified in Article XIII D and Proposition 218.

The City Council, upon conclusion of the public hearing must then adopt a resolution confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as changed by it. The adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of an assessment for the fiscal year referred to in the assessment. If confirmed, the assessments would be submitted to the County Auditor Controller for inclusion on the property tax roll.

1.3 Legislative Context
In 1996, California voters adopted Proposition 218, known as the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act,” which added Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution. Article XIII D established new substantive and procedural requirements on agencies for levying assessments, being levies on real property by an agency for a special benefit conferred upon the real property. “Special benefit” is defined in Article XIII D as “a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on a real property located in the district or to the public at large.”

Article XIII D imposes five basic substantive requirements on assessments:

1. All parcels that will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed must be identified;

2. The general benefits must be distinguished from the special benefits conferred on the parcels;

3. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel must be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided;

4. The amount assessed to a parcel must not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel and must not include any costs attributable to the general benefit; and

5. Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 3 Article XIII D also places procedural requirements on assessments, which include preparing an engineer’s report, providing written notice of the proposed assessment and a public hearing to property owners, holding a public hearing, and providing for a protest ballot proceeding.

1.4 Court Rulings
Since the initial passage of Proposition 218, several court rulings have helped provide context and direction with respect to the procedures and requirements of Article XIII D for levying assessments. Several of the key concepts from these rulings are summarized below.

1.4.1 GENERAL BENEFIT
Article XIII D requires an agency to separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred on the identified parcels because only special benefits are assessable.

The Court of Appeal in Golden Hills Neighborhood Assn., Inc. v. City of San Diego (2011) (“Golden Hills”) clarified this concept by stating, “Separation and quantification of general and special benefits must be accomplished by apportioning the cost of a service or improvement between the two and assessing property owners only for the portion of the cost representing special benefits.” The Court of Appeal in Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010) (“Beutz”) noted that the trial court took judicial notice of the Legislative Analyst’s Office pamphlet titled “Understanding Proposition 218” which states an agency must, “estimate the amount of special benefit landowners would receive from the project or service, as well as the amount of ‘general benefit.’ This step is needed because Proposition 218 allows local government to recoup from assessments only the proportionate share of cost to provide the special benefit.”
The Court in Beutz furthered this idea stating, “Separating the general from the special benefits of a public improvement project and estimating the quantity of each in relation to the other is essential if an assessment is to be limited to the special benefits.”
The Court of Appeal again reiterated the need to separate, quantify and apportion costs to general benefits from the improvements in Broad Beach Geologic Hazard Abatement District v 31506 Victoria Point LLC (2022), stating, “The District cites no authority, and we are aware of none, suggesting that an agency’s subjective intent determines the need to account for general benefits.”

1.4.2 BENEFIT-BASED NOT COST-BASED
In Town of Tiburon v. Bonander (2009) (“Tiburon”), the Court of Appeal clarified the idea that assessments must be apportioned based upon benefit rather than cost. The Court stated, “Proportionate special benefit is the basis upon which a project’s total assessable costs are apportioned among parcels within an assessment district.”
The assessment on a particular property cannot be based on the relative cost of the improvements to the property, but rather on the special benefit conferred on such property. The Court in Tiburon also stated, “an assessment represents the entirety of the cost of the improvement or property-related service, less any amount attributable to general benefits (which may not be assessed), allocated to individual properties in proportion to the relative special benefit conferred on the property.”

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 4

1.4.3 MEASURING AND APPORTIONING SPECIAL BENEFIT
The Court in Tiburon acknowledged the difficulty of trying to precisely assign and measure special benefit, stating, “Any attempt to classify special benefits conferred on particular properties and to assign relative weights to those benefits will necessarily involve some degree of imprecision.” The Court in Tiburon went on to say that a formula assigning equal weight to different special benefits “may be a legally justifiable approach to measuring and apportioning special benefits, [but] it is not necessarily the only valid approach. Whichever approach is taken to measuring and apportioning special benefits, however, it must be both defensible and consistently applied.”

4. BENEFITS FROM IMPROVEMENTS
The Improvements will confer special benefits upon certain parcels within the District. These special benefits created by the Improvements are summarized in the table below:

Improvement Benefit(s)
Street Lighting Improved Safety
Improved Accessibility
Street Trees and Other Landscaping Improved Aesthetics
Increased Economic Activity
The special benefits to be conferred by the Improvements are detailed below.

4.1 Street Lighting

4.1.1 IMPROVED SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY
The street lighting Improvements will confer safety benefits to assessable parcels in close proximity to lighting. This benefit extends to property, as adequate lighting should decrease vandalism and other property-related crime. As noted in one report, “Published studies having different methodologies tend to converge on an overall average reported 20% to 30% reduction in nighttime crash risk from lighting” (National Cooperative Highway Research Program Transportation Research Board of The National Academies, 2009). The same report also states, “… lighting has a positive effect on reducing crime ...” The Improvements will also provide improved safety benefits by facilitating a more efficient and safer flow of traffic to and from properties within the District between the dusk and dawn hours. It is a well-accepted fact that pedestrian and traffic safety is considerably reduced in the hours of darkness between dusk and dawn. Various studies have concluded that good quality street lighting reduces the accident rate by increasing the overall visibility, as vehicle headlights are inadequate for high-speed traffic. For example, “Driving outside of daylight hours is more dangerous – only a quarter of all travel by car drivers is between the hours of 7pm and 8am, yet this period accounts for 40% of fatal and serious injuries in the same group.” (Night-time accidents: a scoping study, UCL, London, 2009). Additionally, “… installing road lighting in a previously unlit road led to a rate ratio of 0.45 (95% confidence interval 0.29 to 0.69), which implies a 55% reduction in crashes compared to that in the control area.” (Street lighting for preventing road traffic injuries, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2009) Therefore, the street lighting Improvements will confer safety benefits to property within the District and each assessable property will be assessed for its proportional special benefit.

The street lighting Improvements will also provide improved accessibility benefits to assessable parcels where street lighting is provided along the access route. The usefulness of a parcel cannot be realized unless it is accessible. Thus, improving the accessibility of a parcel through proper street lighting can improve its utilization. The street lighting Improvements will help improve access for emergency response vehicles as well. Efficient and timely response to emergencies is a critical component to the effectiveness of emergency response. It is reasonable to conclude that the maintenance, operation and servicing of street lighting will

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 10 improve emergency response efficiency in the District. Therefore, the street lighting Improvements will confer accessibility benefits.

4.2 Street Trees and Other Landscaping

4.2.1 IMPROVED AESTHETICS AND INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY The aesthetic benefit relates to the increase in the overall aesthetics as a result of the ongoing maintenance, operation, and servicing of the street trees and other landscaping within the District.

Specifically, the street trees and other landscaping are believed to create a more beautiful, aesthetically pleasing environment within the District and they enhance the overall image and desirability of the properties within the District. A study by the University of Georgia found "People’s preferences for locating areas of social interactions in calming, beautiful, and nature-dominated areas revolve around the presence of community trees and forests" (Coder, 1996). The same study noted “Large old street trees were found to be the most important indicator of attractiveness in a community” (Coder).

Conversely, "appeal decreases when Improvements are not well-maintained, unsafe, or destroyed by vandalism” (The Victoria Transportation Institute, 2011). Streetscapes have a significant effect on how people view and interact with their community. With streetscapes that are safe and inviting, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity and attract residents and visitors to the community. Therefore, the street trees and other landscaping Improvements will confer aesthetic benefits to properties in close proximity.

The street trees and other landscaping Improvements that confer aesthetic benefits will concurrently confer economic activity benefits as well. The Improvements will create a well-maintained and clean environment that is aesthetically pleasing, which has been shown to “increase consumer’s intentions to spend money” (Vilnai-Yavetz 2010). Additionally, "in contrast to areas without trees, shoppers indicated that they shop more often and longer in well-landscaped business districts and were willing to pay more for goods and services” according to the Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursey Association. Therefore, the Improvements will also confer economic activity benefits to properties in close proximity.

5. QUANTIFICATION OF BENEFIT
As described in the Introduction, only special benefits are assessable and in order to assess only special benefits, the general benefits resulting from the Improvements must be separated and quantified. This section describes the process used to separate and quantify the general benefits.

5.1 Summary
As detailed below, it is estimated the Improvements will confer an Overall General Benefit of 37.34%.

5.2 General Benefit Analysis

5.2.1 GENERAL BENEFIT: VEHICLES PASSING THROUGH THE DISTRICT Traffic volume is utilized to help determine special benefits accruing to the District as opposed to the general benefits received by the public at large from the Improvements. As a result of the Improvements, there will be a level of general benefit conferred to pass-through vehicle traffic related to properties outside of the District whose occupants do not intend to access property within the District. As such, the benefit derived by pass-through vehicle traffic needs to be quantified. The percentage of pass-through vehicle traffic is calculated by comparing the estimated daily District generated vehicle trips to the total roadway design capacity, as detailed below.

In order to determine the average daily trips generated by parcels located within the District, the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook was utilized to estimate the average daily trip counts by land use classification for each parcel. Per the ITE Trip Generation User’s Guide, a “Trip” is defined as a “single or one-direction vehicle movement with either the origin or the destination (exiting and entering) inside a study site. For trip generation purposes, the total trips for a land use over a given period of time are the total of all trips entering plus all trips exiting a site during a designated time period.” The ADT rates used in this analysis are shown in the table below and came from ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). Any future changes to land use classifications resulting in changes to a parcel’s ADT rates will be based on the values found in the 11th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

Total: 60,847.24

Roadway design capacity is a critical element that affects trip distribution and was utilized in this analysis to estimate the number of daily vehicle trips passing through the District. From a visual inspection of the

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 12 District, the primary higher functional classification roadways serving the District parcels are Travis Boulevard, Gateway Boulevard, and Pennsylvania Avenue. Roadway design capacities, as defined in the City of Fairfield’s Travel Demand Forecasting Model, were estimated based on the functional classification of the roadway, the number of lanes, and the City’s minimum recommended Level of Service “C” (City of Fairfield Design, Construction and Materials Specification Handbook 2020). Roadway design capacity was calculated for the higher functional classification roadways (henceforth referred to as the “Major Roads”) identified above in order to estimate the total daily traffic flow through the District.

Using the methodology described above, the estimated pass-through vehicular traffic through the District is 67.50% as summarized in the table below:

Total: 187,200 100.00% 67.50%
(1) Equals (Vehicle Trips Passing Through District on Roadway / Total Vehicle Trips Passing Through District). (2) Equals (% of Total Roadway Design Capacity x Pass Through %).

However, simply estimating the number of pass-through vehicle does not necessarily indicate the level of benefit accruing to vehicles passing through the District. We must look at each of the Improvements individually.

5.2.2 GENERAL BENEFIT: STREET LIGHTING
Certain streetlights to be funded by the assessment are on the Major Roads identified in Section 5.2.1.

Accordingly, some of the safety and access benefits will be conferred to vehicles that are just passing through the District. An analysis of the streetlights was prepared comparing the number of streetlights located on the Major Roads to the total number of streetlights within the District.

The street lighting Improvements are located along Gateway Boulevard, Pennsylvania Avenue, and throughout many of the other streets within the District. There are no streetlights located along Interstate 80, therefore there is no general or special benefit conferred by the street lighting Improvements along Interstate 80. The trips generated by the property within the District was taken as a percent of the total traffic on the Major Roads.

Although interior streets are intended to serve the interior parcels, one could imagine a small degree of “tourism” wherein drivers are in fact simply “passing through” to enjoy the views, the natural surroundings

As summarized in the table below, the Effective General Benefit percentage from the Street Lighting Improvements is 15.86%.

Total: 70 15.86 (2)
(1) Equals (% of Streetlights x Pass-Through Percentage). (2) Slight variances may occur due to rounding.

5.2.3 GENERAL BENEFIT: STREET TREES AND OTHER LANDSCAPING Certain street trees and other landscaping to be funded by the assessment are on the Major Roads as described previously. Accordingly, some of the aesthetic and economic activity benefits will be conferred to traffic passing through the District. An analysis of the street trees and landscaping areas within the District was conducted and whenever street trees and landscaping areas were located within close proximity to the Major Roads, those trees were considered as belonging to the Major Roads.

The landscaping Improvements are located along Travis Boulevard, Gateway Boulevard, Pennsylvania Avenue, and throughout the District. In order to quantify the General Benefits conferred by the landscaping Improvements, the total linear length of the Improvements were utilized. Interstate 80 does not provide direct access to the District, however drivers traveling eastbound on Interstate 80 receive benefits from the landscaping Improvements, therefore 100% of the linear length bordering the Improvements is recognized as pass-through traffic for the General Benefit analysis.

As mentioned above, although interior streets are intended to serve individual neighborhoods, one could imagine a small degree of “tourism” wherein drivers are in fact simply “passing through” to enjoy the views and the natural surroundings, or perhaps lost on their way to their intended destination. As such, approximately 2% is attributable to vehicles passing through on interior streets.

As summarized in the table below, the Effective General Benefit percentage from the Landscaping Improvements is 21.48%.

5.2.4 OVERALL GENERAL BENEFIT
In order to determine an overall general benefit percentage to apply to the District, it is necessary to combine the separately analyzed components of each of the general benefits described above. As the benefits conferred by the streetlight Improvements and by Street Trees and Other Landscaping Improvements are independent of each other, it is appropriate to combine the individual general benefit percentages to determine a cumulative Overall General Benefit. The table below is a summary of the Overall General Benefit for the District.

6. METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
Once special benefits are identified, they must be assigned based on the estimated proportionate special benefit derived by each parcel. This section describes the assignment of special benefit to each parcel.

6.1 Parcel Characteristics
The following parcel characteristics are used to determine each parcel’s proportionate special benefit:
 Building Square Footage
 Lot Square Footage
 Average Daily Trip Generation
Differing levels of special benefit can largely be attributed to differences in building size, lot size, and trip generation associated with land use. As building size, lot size and average daily trip generation increase, parcels are considered to receive proportionately greater special benefit. For example, assuming all other factors are equal, a parcel with a large building will experience greater special benefit than a parcel with a small building. Therefore, these three parcel characteristics are deemed appropriate factors for determining proportional special benefit.

In order to relate differing parcel characteristics to one another, a relative factor is determined for each of the three parcel characteristics. The calculation methodology for the building factor, lot factor and average daily trip factor are described below.

6.1.1 BUILDING FACTOR
The average building size for all assessable parcels within the District is approximately 44,043.55 square feet. Each assessable parcel’s actual building size was divided by the District’s average building size to determine a Building Factor.

Parcel's Building
Square Feet / District's Average
Building Square Feet = Parcel's
Building Factor

6.1.2 LOT FACTOR
The average lot size for all assessable parcels within the District is approximately 130,457.77 square feet.

Each assessable parcel’s actual lot square footage was divided by the District’s average lot square footage to determine a Lot Factor.

Parcel's Lot
Square Feet / District's Average
Lot Square Feet = Parcel's

6.1.3 ADT FACTOR
The average daily trip (ADT) count for all assessable parcels within the District is 1,644.52 trips. Each assessable parcel’s ADT was divided by the District’s ADT to determine the parcel’s ADT factor.

Parcel's
Trips / District's Average Trips = Parcel's
ADT Factor

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 16 Assessable parcels were assigned trip generation rates by land use classification in accordance with the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). Per the ITE Trip Generation User’s Guide, a “Trip” is defined as a “single or one-direction vehicle movement with either the origin or the destination (exiting and entering) inside a study site. For trip generation purposes, the total number of trips for a land use over a given period of time are the total of all trips entering plus all trips exiting a site during a designated time period.”
The ADT rates used in this analysis are shown in the table below. ADT rates came from the ITE Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), unless otherwise noted. For land uses with multiple ITE Codes, an average trip value was used for the ADT rate. Only those land use classifications currently being assessed at the time of preparation of this report are included below. Any future changes to a parcel’s land use classification resulting in changes to the parcel’s ADT rates will be based on the values found in the 11th Edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual.

6.2 Land Use
In addition to building size, lot size and average daily trip generation a parcel’s land use will also affect the special benefits received. Following the calculation of each parcel’s characteristic factors in Section 6.1 above, Land Use Benefit Points were assigned. These benefit points correspond to the special benefits described in the Quantification of Benefit section of this report.

Each parcel within the proposed District boundary is assigned a land use classification for purposes of determining the special benefits received. Below is a description of the land use classifications to be assessed within the District. Not all land use classifications below are currently within the District.

Commercial Property consists of parcels used for commercial, for-profit or non-profit purposes including, but not limited to, retail, offices, restaurants, commercial garages, private schools, hotels/motels, medical/dental offices, and privately-owned pay-to-use parking lots and structures.

Multi-Family Residential Property consists of parcels that are duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and condominiums used exclusively for residential purposes.

Park Property consists of certain park parcels that are not being maintained by the District or included as part of the District Improvements.

Public Property consists of parcels used for public purposes including, golf courses, police and fire stations, public schools, libraries, and other government administration buildings.

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 17 Single Family Residential Property consists of parcels that have stand-alone residential dwelling units with their own lots intended for one family.

Undeveloped Property consists of parcels with no structure value.

There are currently a total of 43 assessable parcels within the District.

6.2.1 APPORTIONING SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY BENEFIT
The Safety and Accessibility Benefits conferred by the Improvements will specially benefit all assessable land use classifications. Safety can be thought of as a universal need. Its importance can be seen in the fact that everyone desires to live and work in safe, crime-free areas (Lau Leby 2010). Therefore, because levels of safety affect all land uses, it follows that an increase in safety will specially benefit all land use classifications. Additionally, as noted in Section 4.1, the usefulness of a parcel cannot be realized unless it is accessible. As the street lighting Improvements allow for increased visibility around assessed parcels and easier access to properties throughout the District, these benefits are also not restricted to a particular land use.

However, due to their limited activity during the dusk to dawn hours, Park, Public and Undeveloped land use classifications will not experience the same level of safety and accessibility benefits compared to other land use classifications. For example, Park, Public and Undeveloped land use classifications experience limited activities during the evening hours when the greatest safety benefit from street lighting is received.

However, it is recognized that a visible and well-lit property, especially during the nighttime hours, will aid in deterring dumping and other illegal activities, such as property-related crime and will allow for access in case of an emergency. To account for this limited special benefit, Park and Public land use classifications are assigned a benefit point of 0.50 and Undeveloped land use classifications are assigned a benefit point of

0.25 for Safety and Accessibility. All other land use classifications will be assigned 1 Safety and Accessibility Benefit Point.

Additionally, all land use classifications located in proximity to interior street lighting will experience a greater level of safety and accessibility benefits compared to other land use classifications due to the benefit of the parcel being located adjacent to interior street lighting. To account for this added benefit, parcels designated with the Interior Lighting land use classification are assigned double the benefit points for Safety and Accessibility, for example Public (Interior Lighting) land use classifications are assigned a benefit point of 1 and Undeveloped (Interior Lighting) land use classifications are assigned a benefit point of

0.50 for Safety and Accessibility. The table provided in Section 6.2.4 of this Report provides a summary of the land use benefit points assigned to the assessable land use classifications within the District.

After the land use benefit points have been assigned by land use classifications within the District, improved safety and accessibility from street lighting, as property-related benefits, can be measured by the characteristics of a parcel, namely the size of a building, its lot size, and daily trip generation. Parcels with larger building and lot sizes and parcels with greater intensity of use, measured by trip generation, will experience the Safety and Accessibility Benefits to a greater degree than smaller, less-utilized parcels.

Therefore, the Lot Factor, Building Factor and ADT factor are used to measure Safety and Accessibility Benefits. The calculation of Total Special Benefit Points for each parcel is detailed in Section 6.3 of this Report.

Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 18

6.2.2 APPORTIONING AESTHETIC BENEFIT
The Aesthetic Benefits conferred by the Improvements will specially benefit all assessable land use classifications. The benefit of visual appeal is not restricted to a particular land use. A more attractive public environment specially benefits all parcels irrespective of land use. Accordingly, each assessable land use classification will be assigned one Aesthetic Benefit Point. However, Undeveloped land use classifications will be assigned 0.25 Aesthetic Benefit Point due to the nature of the land use. Per the definition in Section 4.2.1, “the street trees and other landscaping are believed to create a more beautiful, aesthetically pleasing environment within the District and they enhance the overall image and desirability of the properties within the District.” As such, there is some aesthetic benefit conferred by the Improvements on undeveloped land use classifications. However, this benefit is limited, as undeveloped parcels are not utilized as areas recognized in the definition of aesthetic benefit of social interactions, areas where residents are likely to walk, areas of stimulated economic activity or locations that will attract residents and/or visitors to the community. Therefore, the undeveloped land use classifications are assigned the reduced 0.25 Aesthetic Benefit Points due to the nature of the land use compared to the developed land use classifications. The table provided in Section 6.2.4 of this Report provides a summary of the land use benefit points assigned to the assessable land use classifications within the District.

After the land use benefit points have been assigned by land use classifications within the District, improved aesthetics from tree and landscaping Improvements, as property-related benefits, can be measured by the characteristics of a parcel, namely the size of a building, its lot size, and daily trip generation. Parcels with larger building and lot sizes and parcels with greater intensity of use, measured by trip generation, will experience the Aesthetic Benefits to a greater degree than smaller, less-developed parcels. Therefore, the Lot Factor, Building Factor and ADT Factor are used to measure Aesthetic Benefits.

The calculation of Total Special Benefit Points for each parcel is detailed in Section 6.3 of this report.

6.2.3 APPORTIONING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BENEFIT
The Economic Activity Benefits conferred by the Improvements will specially benefit all assessable land use classifications. Street trees and landscaping add value in many ways. They increase the social value of the City by making places more pleasing to people on foot and in cars and they also add great environmental benefits, which fuel economic benefits. The research has demonstrated that consumers will shop more often and for longer durations in well-landscaped business districts. The research also indicates that shoppers are willing to pay more money for goods and services in well-landscaped business districts.

Accordingly, each assessable land use classification will be assigned one Economic Activity Benefit Point.

The table provided in Section 6.2.4 of this Report provides a summary of the land use benefit points assigned to the assessable land use classifications within the District.

After the land use benefit points have been assigned by land use classifications within the District, improved economic activity from tree and landscaping Improvements, as a property related benefit, can be measured by the characteristics of a parcel, namely the size of a building, its size, and trip generation.

Parcels with larger building and lot sizes and parcels with greater intensity of use, measured by trip generation, will experience the Economic Activity Benefits to a greater degree than smaller, less-developed parcels. Therefore, the Lot Factor, Building Factor and ADT Factor are used to measure Economic Activity Benefits. The calculation of Total Special Benefit Points for each parcel is detailed in Section 6.3 of this report.

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 20

The Total Special Benefit Points by Improvement type are computed for each parcel in the District and summed. The Total District Special Benefit Points are 472.00. These Total District Special Benefit Points are used to determine the proposed assessment amounts on each parcel.

6.4 Amount to Be Assessed
The total maximum amount to be assessed upon the assessable parcels is the total cost of the Improvements, as detailed above, less the portion of costs attributable to General Benefit as detailed in the Quantification of Benefit section.

The calculation of the balance to be assessed is shown below:

Description Amount
Total Cost of Improvements $438,729
Less General Benefit Portion (Lighting – 15.86%) (1,942) Less General Benefit Portion (Landscaping – 21.48%) (87,728) Total Cost of Improvements to Be Assessed $349,059(1)
(1) Slight variances may occur due to rounding. The final assessment rates in Section 9 have been truncated to two decimal places.

6.5 FY 2025/26 Assessment Rate per Special Benefit Point for Each Improvement Type
The Maximum Assessment Rate per Special Benefit Point is calculated by dividing the total costs to be Assessed by the total Special Benefit Points assigned to the parcels within the District for each Improvement type. The following formula provides the assessment rate per Special Benefit Point for each Improvement type.

Total Street Lighting Costs to be Assessed / Total Street Lighting Special Benefit Points = ($10,827.17) (236.00)

Assessment Rate per Street Lighting Special Benefit Point ($45.8778)
Total Landscaping Costs to be Assessed / Total Landscaping Special Benefit Points = ($338,232.32) (236.00)

Assessment Rate per Landscaping Special Benefit Point
($1,433.1878)
The Maximum Assessment Rate per Special Benefit Point for each Improvement type is then multiplied by each parcel’s total special benefit points to determine the maximum assessment amount per parcel.

6.6 Annual Maximum Assessment Rate Inflation for Each Improvement Type Each parcel’s maximum assessment for an Improvement type is determined by multiplying the maximum assessment rate per special benefit point by the parcel’s total special benefit points. If the total special benefit points for all assessable parcels in the District change in future years, the maximum allowable

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 21 annual assessment rate per special benefit point will not be recalculated. The maximum allowable annual assessment rate per special benefit point, plus the annual cost of living inflator, will remain fixed. The actual annual assessment rate per special benefit point will be calculated by dividing the fiscal year’s total cost of Improvements to be assessed by the total special benefit points, not to exceed the maximum allowable annual assessment rate per special benefit point for that fiscal year. The maximum allowable assessment rate per special benefit point is escalated each year on July 1 by the annual change in the February to February Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, for the San Francisco-Oakland- Hayward CA region, not to exceed 3% annually, beginning July 1, 2024.

In any given year, the assessments may be at any rate sufficient to meet the estimated budget and levied without undertaking an assessment ballot proceeding, as long as the actual assessment rate per special benefit point does not exceed the Maximum Assessment Rate per special benefit point for that fiscal year.

If the change in CPI effective for any fiscal year is determined to be negative, the maximum assessment rate will remain unchanged from the previous fiscal year. The actual assessment rate may vary from year to year but will be no higher than the maximum rate.

The following table details the historical maximum assessment rates per benefit point:

Fiscal Year CPI
Lighting Maximum
Assessment Rate Per
Benefit Point
Lighting Maximum
Assessment Rate Per
Benefit Point
2023/24 N/A $43.7268 $1,389.7368
2024/25 2.366% 44.7614 1,422.6200
2025/26 2.689% 45.9651 1,460.8738
Slight variances may occur due to rounding.

6.7 Future Changes to Parcel Characteristics
Future changes to any of the parcel characteristics detailed in Section 6 will cause possible changes in the total assessment revenue. The assessment revenue for any given year will be the product of the District’s parcel characteristics, special benefit points and the budget in effect for such fiscal year. Development within the District that increases the overall building square footage, for example, will lead to possible increased assessment revenue, even if the assessment rate per special benefit point is not increased. By way of example, when a previously undeveloped parcel develops into a commercial land use classification, the parcel will no longer be assessed as an undeveloped land use, but rather as a commercial parcel with the updated parcel characteristics.

6.8 Data for Annual Assessment Calculations
Each year, as part of the assessment calculation procedures, the City or its designated consultant shall determine the land use classification for each parcel based on the County Assessor's use code or other supplementary information made available and deemed reliable. The parcel characteristics of building square footage and lot square footage shall similarly be based on the County Assessor's secured roll data for the applicable tax year and may be supplemented with other reliable data sources, such as County Assessor's parcel maps and GIS data.

City of Fairfield
Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) – Fiscal Year 2025/26 Report 22 Assessment amounts for each parcel may change over time in accordance with changes to parcel characteristics including land use classification, building square footage, lot square footage and average daily trip generation.

6.9 Appeals
If any property owner believes the data used to calculate the assessment is inaccurate for any reason, the property owner shall submit, in writing, a request for review to the City. The property owner shall provide documentation to support the request for review. The City or its designated consultant shall review the request and provide a response to the property owner. The property owner must be current in the payment of all assessments when filing the request for review and must remain current during the review process.

If the review conducted by the City or its designated consultant results in the approval for changes to any parcel characteristics used to compute the assessment, the City or its designated consultant shall recalculate the assessment. When recalculating the assessment, the assessment rates actually applied in such fiscal year shall be used. Only the assessment for the parcel or parcels subject to review shall be recalculated.

If the recalculated assessment for the parcel or parcels being reviewed is less than the amount submitted to the County on the secured property tax roll, the difference shall be credited back to the property owner in a manner approved by the City. This credit shall be limited to the current fiscal year and the prior fiscal year, if applicable. The “fiscal year” shall follow the County’s fiscal year for property taxes, from July 1 to June 30. The applicable fiscal year shall be determined by the date the request for review is submitted to the City.

The credit may be provided in the form of a check issued to the property owner, an adjustment to the current year’s property tax roll (if possible), or a credit to the succeeding year’s assessment thereby reducing the amount placed on the secured property tax roll for such year.

If the recalculated assessment is greater than the amount submitted to the County on the secured property tax roll, the City or its designated consultant shall apply the recalculated assessment to the succeeding year’s property tax roll and no adjustments shall be made to the prior or current fiscal years’ assessments.

In any dispute over parcel characteristic data used to compute assessments, the City Manager (or his/her designee) shall make a conclusive determination and its decision shall be final.

6.10 Method of Collection
The assessments will be collected annually on the Solano County secured property tax roll. The assessments will be subject to the County’s assigned due dates and late penalties. However, the City Manager (or his/her designee) may choose to collect the assessments in an alternate manner (including directly billing the property owner) as may be deemed appropriate or necessary by the City or as allowed by law.

7. ENGINEER’S STATEMENT
The City of Fairfield Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 2023-1 (Gateway) assessments described in this Report have been prepared pursuant to Article XIII D of the California Constitution. In preparing these assessments:

1. I have identified all parcels that will have a special benefit conferred upon them by the Improvements described in Section 2 of this Report (the “Specially Benefited Parcels”). a. For particulars as to the identification of these parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in Section 8 of this Report.

2. I have assessed the estimated costs and expenses of the Improvements upon the Specially Benefited Parcels. In making such assessment:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived from the Improvements by each Specially Benefited Parcel was determined in relationship to the entirety of the cost of the Improvements;
b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel by the Improvements; and
c. The general benefits have been separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed.

I, the undersigned, respectfully submit this Engineer’s Report and, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, this Report, the assessments, and the Assessment Diagram herein have been prepared and computed in accordance with the 1972 Act.

9. ASSESSMENT ROLL
Assessor’s parcel identification, for each lot or parcel subject to the assessment, shall be based on the County Assessor’s secured roll data for the applicable year in which this report is prepared. A listing of assessor’s parcels subject to the assessments for Fiscal Year 2025/26, along with the assessment amounts, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference.

Based on County Assessor’s secured roll data, current assessor’s parcels, including corrected and/or new assessor’s parcels, will be submitted and/or resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The annual assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be determined in accordance with the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single assessor’s parcel has a status change in development, other land use change, or subdivides into multiple assessor’s parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new assessor’s parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment amount.

Agenda Item No: J.6

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -98 PW Planning Area 5 – NBR Culvert Crossing Improvement Agreement

Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Improvement Agreement to Construct the City of Fairfield Culvert Pipe Crossing Improvements

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: Alvin Lei, (707) 428-7476

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
One Lake Holding, LLC (Developer) is developing Planning Areas 4 and 5 (Development) of the Train Station Specific Plan (TSSP). A portion of the Development has an existing 18 -inch culvert, a type of tunnel or pipe that carries water under a road, railway, or pathway. This 18-inch culvert drains on the southern corner of the City of Fairfield’s Northbay Regional Water Treatment Plant.

To support stormwater drainage from the Development, the Developer is constructing an additional 36-inch culvert next to the 18 -inch culvert. The recommended act ion authorizes the Developer to construct these improvements.

DISCUSSION
On October 27, 2021, the City of Fairfield Planning Commission reviewed and approved the “Planning Area 5” tentative subdivision map of the TSSP by adopting Planning Commission Resolution No. PC2021-22.

The City currently owns and maintains an existing 18 -inch storm drain culvert that is located on the City’s Northbay Regional Water Treatment Plan Parcel (Assessor’s Parcel Number: 0166-060- 120). A new subdivision, Neighborhood A/B, is designed to drain stormwater towards this culvert.

To handle the additional stormwater directed towards the existing storm drain, the Developer is building a new 36-inch stormwater culvert pipe next to the existing 18 -inch stormwater culvert pipe. This pipe crosses over the Department of Water Resources’ existing 72-inch Northbay Aquaduct Transmission Main.

The Developer has received necessary permits from the Department of Water Resources to construct the new stormwater pipe culvert. The developer has provided all the necessary bonds, insurance, and paid the fees required to enter into this Agreement with City of Fairfield.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost to the City in constructing the public improvements contemplated under the agreement. Acceptance of the public improvements by the council will obligate the City to maintain the new 36-inch storm drainpipe and associated improvements.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -99 PW Authorization to Increase F iscal Year 2024-2025 Budget in Transportation Fund

Authorizing an Update to the Fiscal Year 2024 -2025 Transportation Budget for the Transit FAST Connect & Americans with Disabilities Act Fund

Funding Source: $1,640,000; Transportation Fund ($1,140,000, Transportation Development Act; $500,000, Federal Transit Administration)
Contact: Nicole Benson, (707) 434-3806

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The City of Fairfield’s Public Works Department’s Transportation Division is responsible for administering Fairfield’s transit system, FAST. This includes the City’s fixed route (FAST), microtransit (FAST Connect) and paratransit (FAST Connect Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA]) systems. The Transportation Division receives and is allocated grant funding to operate FAST services, the primary of which being the Transportation Development Act (TDA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The adoption of this resolution authorizes an update to the fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025 Budget to increase grant fund allocations.

DISCUSSION
The Transportation Division receives grant funding from multiple sources, the primary of which being TDA and FTA. These monies were previously allocated for and allow the Transportation Division to operate public transportation for the City. Due to increased costs and administrative oversight, increased expenses for grant funds in FY 2024-2025 were not adequately budgeted in the Transit FAST Connect & ADA Fund (Fund 452), which prevents these funds from being utilized despite their availability. Four microtransit/paratransit vehicles were purchased in April for FAST

Connect and FAST Connect ADA Services. Due to an increase in costs, this expense exceeded what was e stimated in the original budget. Due to administrative oversight, funds were primarily allocated to the Transit Fixed Route Fund (Fund 451) in the FY 2024-2025 budget. As funds should have been split between Transit Fixed Route Fund and the Transit FAST Connect & ADA Fund, some budget items in the Transit FAST Connect & ADA Fund do not have adequate funds allocated. As such, the Transportation Division does not have enough money allocated to Transit FAST Connect & ADA Fund to continue operations for the rem ainder of the fiscal year. This increase in budget will allow FAST to continue providing the essential service of public transportation for FY 2024 -2025. This includes paying contractors, consultants, janitorial, landscaping, insurance, bus stop improvemen ts, organization dues, electricity and gasoline as needed.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-100 PR Contract Services for Afterschool Programs with Fairfield- Suisun Unified School District

Approving an Independent Contractor Service Agreement for Professional Services Between the City of Fairfield and the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District to Provide Afterschool Program Services

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: Kristina Kaunzinger, (707) 428-7470

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District (FSUSD) has state funding to offer after-school programming to FSUSD -eligible students and seek s a partnership with the City of Fairfield , through the Parks & Recreation Department, to staff and operate an after -school program at Anna Kyle Elementary, Fairview Elementary, and Sullivan Academy.

DISCUSSION
Over the past two decades, the City of Fairfield Parks & Recreation received grant fu nding through the California Department of Education to staff, operate, and administer comprehensive afterschool programs at seven FSUSD school sites. In late 2024, the City received notification that grant funding is no longer eligible to be received dir ectly by cities, and funds will be transferred to the local school district, effective June 30, 2025.

The State of California provides funding for use by and through School Districts for Extending Learning Opportunities Programs (ELOP). FSUSD has been ope rating ELOP at all of their school sites for the past several years. In early 2024, FSUSD solicited an RFQ/P process for selecting contract service providers to staff and operate their ELOP programs. The City of Fairfield Parks

& Recreation responded to the solicitation and was selected as one of the contract service providers. The city will provide services at Anna Kyle Elementary, Fairview Elementary , and Sullivan Academy beginning August 13, 2025, through July 3, 2026. This includes 180 regular school days, including minimum release periods, and 30 days of full -day service during the summer.

A formal Independent Contract Service Agreement between the two agencies outlines the collaborative partnership and responsibilities. FSUSD will administer the State funding program and all reporting requirements. The city will provide qualified staffing and all program supplies for the daily operation of the after-school programs.

The ELOP funding will provide 100% of all the direct costs of the City’s commitment and responsibility for operating the programs. The anticipated service level requires the h iring of between 35 and 45 part-time staff as Recreation Lead and Recreation Assistant , with work schedules total ing up to approximately 1 ,200 hours per year each, and one (1) full -time Recreation Supervisor. These positions will be recruited as ‘provisional’ throughout the contract period or as extended and modified as mutually agreed by all parties.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact as 100% of the cost for the contracted service will be reimbursed to the City with a not-to-exceed limit of $1,941,760.

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
At the March 20, 2024, School Board Meeting, the Fairfield -Suisun Board of Directors approved the City of Fairfield Parks & Recreation Department to serve as one of the contracted service providers for the ELOP - afterschool programming.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to enter into a contract (RFQ/P-Contract #2244-26) for a service agreement with FSUSD.

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025 -101 FD Requesting I ndustrial Emergency Council Budget Adjustment

Approving a Net Neutral General Fund Budget Adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2024 -2025 Budget for the Fire Department Resulting from Participation in the Industrial Emergency Council Program

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: John Sturdee, (707) 436-7228

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Industrial Emergency Council (IEC), a non -profit organization, coordinates and manages a vocational education program in collaboration with the state community college system that utilizes state funds to reimburse fire agencies for training compl eted by on-duty personnel. For FY 24/25 participation in the program, the Fire Department is requesting a budget adjustment of $67,301.91 in expenses and $67,301.91 in revenue, which would allow the department to spend the revenue earned on unplanned expen ses that have risen throughout the course of the fiscal year.

DISCUSSION
In order to participate and be eligible to receive funding through this program, the Fire Department must designate an Instructor of Record through IEC who is responsible for maintaining, auditing, and submitting accurate department training hours. The department’s Training Battalion Chief serves in this capacity , and the Training Division manages the incoming funds. At fiscal year end , the department will have earned $67,301.91 for t he corresponding summer, fall, winter, and spring semesters. As the department already maintains training

records, participation in the program requires little additional administrative effort in exchange for significant funding to offset unexpected costs throughout the year.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Since funding earned through the program can vary significantly, the department did not budget for the revenue at the time of budget adoption. To have a balanced request with a net neutral impact, the department has waited until the spring semester figures were released to make a budget adjustment request to revenue of $67,301.91 (10055200) for fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025.

The department intends to utilize the funds to offset a variety of costs, including personal protective gear and equipment that will be critical for the upcoming fire season, in keeping staff safe while optimizing service delivery in our community. The department is requesting an offsetting expense adjustment of $67,301.91 (10155200) for FY 2024-2025 IEC participation.

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
N/A

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The City Council may choose not to approve the budget adjustment, but then the Fire Department would need to forgo purchasing much needed equipment and personal protective equipment that are critical for firefighter safety and effective operational performance.

SUBJECT: CD Consultant Services Agreement for a New Downtown Fairfield Property-Based Improvement District or Community Benefit Improvement District

Consideration of a Consultant Services Agreement with New City America, Inc. for Investigation of and Potential Formation of a New Downtown Fairfield Property -Based Improvement District or Community Benefit Improvement District

Funding Source: $34,000; Fund to be Determined

Contact: David Zellers, (707) 428-7436

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report, open discussion, and provide direction to staff.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Since termination of services with the Downtown Mainstreet Association, there has not been a central coordinating entity for business improvement services in downtown Fairfield. Formation of a Property -Based Improvement District (PBID) or Community Benefit Improvement District (CBID) can create a sustainable funding source for property/business owners to enhance downtown. New City America, Inc. manages processes to explore the establishment of districts to enhance business services.

DISCUSSION
The Downtown Parking and Business Improvement Area (PBIA) was established in 1971 by the City of Fairfield as a BID funded by assessments on businesses in the downtown area , with a volunteer committee of assessed businesses serving as an advisory board and adm inistrator of district services under City Council oversight. In 2010, the City changed the oversight model of the PBIA and entered into a contractual agreement for the newly formed nonprofit Fairfield Mainstreet Association to manage and administer the PB IA funds to provide business support and Main Street beautification and promotional services to the Downtown. In 2021, the City of

Fairfield terminated contracts with the Fairfield Mainstreet Association and brought in -house business support services. Using PBIA annual assessment revenues of $30,000 supplemented by City funding of $130,000 annually from Intergovernmental Services (IGS), the City currently provides services that include event coordination for large and small downtown community events such as 4th of July and Tomato and Vine Festival, Maykers Market, Taste of Downtown, as well as funding a part-time contracted position for coordination with downtown businesses.

In 2023, City Council discussed the exploration of a PBID as a strategy to further enhance revitalization efforts in downtown. Based on conversations and feedback with property owners at the time, there was little appetite to form a new assessment district such as a PBID. With the current investment in infrastructure throughout the Heart of Fairfield, as well as a desire for enhanced services downtown, it may be appropriate to more formally analyze the feasibility of a new PBID for downtown.

PBIDs are a type of Business Improvement District (BID) that levy assessments on properties to fund special benefit services within a defined area. These districts are typically managed by an organization comprised of representatives from the property owners and businesses within the district. This allows assessed property owners and their business te nants to direct the types of special benefit services they feel will most positively improve the district and increase commerce in their businesses. Typical services include maintenance, like cleaning sidewalks, trash removal, enhanced landscaping, private security services, events, marketing and promotions on social media, and public space development. Visit Fairfield is a type of BID focused on tourism, funded with assessments paid by guests at Fairfield hotel businesses, and where the local hoteliers and tourism businesses serve as the board of directors. Since California ’s 1965 BID Law first allowed BIDs in the state,
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ipd/pdfs/value_capture/strategies_in_practice/ca_business_improv ement_districts.pdf, hundreds of BIDs have been formed, with current average annual property assessments ranging from $250,000 to $1,350,000, and the larger BIDs , like the San Francisco Tourist Improvement District, generate annual assessments of $27 million each year.

To explore whether a PBID may be of interest to property owners and businesses, and to determine the technical and financial needs of forming a district, staff recommends hiring an expert to conduct outreach and engagement with the community. No decision on the formation of a PBID is being made at this time. The item before the c ouncil is whether to pursue a consultant-led detailed investigation into the support needed and the feasibility of forming a PBID.

New City America (NCA) is a leading firm in the creation and management of BIDs and community benefit districts, with a 30 -year track record of establishing nearly 100 such districts across the United States. Known for its comprehensive approach —from conce ptual planning to implementation and management —NCA has developed unique expertise in forming financing mechanisms and organizational structures that support thriving commercial areas and achieve dynamic business district goals.

NCA currently manages 7 dis tricts statewide: Little Italy/San Diego, Downtown Hayward, Downtown Glendale, Downtown Chula Vista, Historic Lincoln Heights Industrial Zone PBID, Downtown El Cajon , and the East Village Association/Downtown San Diego. New City America has managed San Diego’s Little Italy district for the past 30 years, winning awards and recognition for urban renewal.

NCA’s capabilities go beyond formation . It offers continued district management until local leadership is established and assists in setting up governance structures like boards of directors and management corporations. With nearly 30 district formations in the Bay Area alone since 2000, NCA has had ample success in the region. By the end of 2024, the districts it formed collectively generated over $120 mill ion in annual revenue. Headquartered in San Diego, NCA maintains a strong presence in Northern California, enabling responsive engagement with local stakeholders.

and costs that would be viable. NCA
will work with the City to review the
various options, probably the PBID act
of 1994, to fund special benefit
services in Downtown Fairfield.

September

NCA would use the survey to reveal the levels of survey support and/or opposition to the creation of this new financing mechanism district. A parcel analysis that would take into account linear frontage, lot size, and building square footage of each parcel. The revenue would be based on an annual assessment amount generated.

If the investigation determines that the weighted property owners are open to the idea of a property assessment district to fund special benefit services, then NCA would give three options for services and costs.

Additional Phases of work will only occur if there is sufficient support from the surveyed property owners in forming a PBID and staff will bring back a discussion item to council with the timeline for the district formation process.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
This would be a performance -based contract with a monthly retainer amount of $8,500, estimated not to exceed $34,000 from the commencement of the contract to the end of the investigation study of a possible district.

SUBJECT: Proposal for the Investigation of a New Downtown Fairfield Property Assessment District (Community Benefit Improvement District)

Dear Ms. Chaudhary:

Thank you for reaching out to me regarding the discussion on the improvement of Downtown Fairfield and a possible new property assessment district to aid the City in the improvement to Downtown Fairfield. This proposal will outline what the scope of services would be for such a study and implementation.

New City America has perhaps created and managed more districts statewide than any other company over the past 25 years. We are the only company which can simultaneously do the following:
• Investigate and establish BIDs and Community Benefit Districts; • Help to set up the new Board of Directors and management corporations of the entities who will run the district;
• Manage the district until such time that a full time Executive Director has been hired;
We currently manage 7 districts statewide: Little Italy/San Diego, Downtown Hayward, Downtown Glendale, Downtown Chula Vista, Historic Lincoln Heights Industrial Zone PBID, Downtown El Cajon and the East Village Association/Downtown San Diego. New City America has managed San Diego’s Little Italy district in the past 30 years winning awards and acknowledgements as follows:

2 • Was identified as a “Smart Community” when San Diego was designated as National Geographic International Television series on World Smart Cities. Was designated in April 2010 as the “Smart Growth Community of the Decade” by the Urban Land Institute San Diego/Tijuana Chapter.
• Was named the 10th most popular neighborhood for Millennials in the US today (Forbes Magazine, April 2014);
• Was named the most kid friendly neighborhood in Downtown San Diego by Red Tricycle Magazine in May 2015
• Was featured in Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the most dynamic growing districts in the US today; (2017)
• Was considered to be the leader in COVID response for restaurants throughout San Diego County in the summer of 2021;
• Was one of the only districts in Southern California which did not lose one restaurant, café or bar due to the forced government shut down during COVID; • Was recently acknowledged as having the 4th best Certified Farmers Market in the US;
• Was recently acknowledged to have one of the most successful weekend “Art Walks” in the US today;
• Has created nearly 25 Charter City enabling ordinances that are considered superior to the current Property Business Improvement District laws allowable under the California Streets and Highway Code. • Formed one of the largest Tourism Improvement Districts in the state of California through San Francisco Travel;
• Has been the leader nationwide in designing, funding and managing new public spaces in the many districts it manages.

Our strategy for working in Downtown Fairfield for the investigation and possible formation of a PBID/CBID would be as follows:

1. Meet first with City staff and then with Downtown Fairfield stakeholders and property owners to explain the purpose of the new assessment district - Community Benefit Improvement District, (CBID), formation process and the relevant timeline to achieve these goals. Give examples of other successful Downtowns that have used Special Benefit Districts to accelerate their reinvention and redevelopment.

2. With direction from City staff and the Downtown Fairfield business and property owners, work with all the key players to create a stakeholders based Downtown Fairfield CBID Steering Committee. The first task of the Steering Committee would be to set boundaries for a CBID study area in Downtown Fairfield.

3. Work with that new Downtown Fairfield CBID Steering Committee to oversee a mailed survey to all property owners in the proposed district ascertaining their conceptual support for the creation of a special benefits district.

4. Use the survey to reveal the levels of survey support and/or opposition to the creation of this new financing mechanism district.

3 If there does seem to be conceptual support for this new Downtown Fairfield Property Assessment District (CBID), we would discuss the timeline for the district formation process, which would be formed ideally by the Spring of 2026.

This would be a performance-based contract with a monthly retainer amount of $8,500, estimated not to exceed $ 34,000 from commencement of the contract to the end of the investigation study of a possible district. The estimated period to form this district would be 4 months from the date of commencement.

New City America is one of the only companies nationwide that has demonstrated its knowledge of conceptualizing a program, developing a strategy and creating the end result through a new financing mechanism and organization to achieve dynamic business dist rict goals. In terms of qualifications, please review following relevant facts:
• New City America has formed 98 similar districts throughout the United States over the past 24 years, perhaps more than any other company in the US. We anticipated forming five more similar districts the Spring of 2025. We have formed more similar property assessment districts in the Bay Area, than any other company, reaching almost 30 formations since 2000.
• The districts that are currently functioning throughout the country, formed by New City America, collectively generated over $1 20,000,000 in annual revenues at the end of 2024.
• Being based in San Diego and our current work in the Bay Area , allows for direct access to business and property owners for a quick response to anyone’s questions.

We hope that you find this proposal to be responsive to your request and look forward to being interviewed by you and your staff to move forward with this study of a Downtown Fairfield Community Benefit Improvement District.

Sincerely,

Marco Li Mandri

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: CM City Council Fiscal Year 2025-2027 Strategic Goals and Priorities

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: David Gassaway, (707) 428-7400

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report, open discussion, and provide direction to staff.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Each year, the City Council holds a strategic goal -setting session to identify goals and priorities for the City in the coming year. Goal setting helps the City to establish, prioritize, or reform programs and projects for the coming fiscal year.

DISCUSSION
In January 2025, the City Council, the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and other key staff members held a two-day strategic goal-setting workshop. During both days, the council and staff discussed a long -term vision for the City, reviewed the six existing overarching goals, and prioritized numerous other objectives for the coming two fiscal year (FY) cycle. Following the workshop, SLT worked to expand on the objectives with various strategies and create a strategic goals document to highlight City priorities in the coming two year fiscal cycle.

In January 2024, staff presented the initial launch of the transparency portal for tracking the City Council goals and Priorities. The portal shared information about the council in a story map called “Know your Council ,” Council goals and Priorities, including performance reports, and a dashboard for Capital Improvement Projects ( CIP). In January 2025, additional datasets were released, which included the police transparency portal, open data portal, and development projects. As of April 2025, 65.7% of act ion items are complete, and 30.9% are in progress , meaning 96.6% of initiatives are either finished or actively underway.

Currently, the goals from FY 2023 -2025 are listed , and the portal is updated quarterly by staff.

The portal can be accessed by anyone here: https://transparency.fairfield.ca.gov. The strategic goals FY 2025-2027 document will guide City efforts in the coming two fiscal year cycle and identify areas where work is already underway or new programs or projects are needed. All current items with the status of “cancelled ,” “ongoing activities ,” or “completed” will not be carried over, and details will be reta ined in the published quarterly performance reports. The new items and the existing items in the status of “Not started” and “In Progress” will continue to be tracked as a new dataset for the upcoming two fiscal year cycle.

The performance report for April to June will be uploaded to the transparency portal in July 2025.

The goals and priorities for the new two -year fiscal cycle will be uploaded to the transparency portal effective August 1, 2025. Staff will continue to provide quarterly updates. City management will use the goals and objectives outlined to hold departments accountable in responding to the community's priorities.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct financial impact on the approval of the annual goals. However, programs or projects stemming from strategic goals may require financial resources to implement. Those items are already included in the budget or will require additional council authorization as they advance.

January 24-25, 2025 – Council Strategic Planning Retreat

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
The council may choose not to approve the strategic goals document or provide other direction to staff.

Quality of Life Goal: Elevate Fairfield as the place to live, work, and play Economic
Development
Goal: Foster sustainable economic growth through

Goal: Become a leader in local government best practices

IMPLEMENTATION
The timeline for implementation will vary based on many factors, including the complexity of the objective, partner and community input, workforce capacity, budget availability, and coordination with City partners. Regular reviews of the implementation plans will ascertain their effectiveness in achieving the milestones outlines in the objectives and strategies.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: HR Public Hearing Regarding Vacancies for Calendar Year 2024

Recruitment and Retention Efforts for Calendar Year 2024 as Required Under Assembly Bill 2561/Government Code Section 3502.3 Regarding Vacancies

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: Angela Broaddus, (707) 428-7396

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive report and hold public hearing.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Assembly Bill (AB) 2561 requires public agencies, including the City, to conduct at least one public hearing per fiscal year to report on staffing vacancies , recruitment, and retention efforts. This communication, along with the accompanying presentation, satisfies the City’s legal obligations under the new law, which took effect on January 1, 2025. The presentation is informational in nature and provides an update on the status of the City’s vacancies, recruitment initiatives, and employee retention strategies for calendar year 2024.

DISCUSSION
AB 2561 was enacted to address the growing challenge of job vacancies in local government, which can hinder the delivery of public services and increase employee workload. The legislation requires public agencies to hold a public hearing before their governing body at least once per fiscal year, prior to adopting the next fiscal year’s budget. During this hearing, agencies must present information on current vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts, and identify potential changes to policies, procedures, or recruitment practices that may create barriers in the recruitment and selection process. AB 2561 was signed into law and codified as Government Code section 3502.3, effective January 1, 2025. To comply with these new l egal requirements, the City must:

1. Report on vacancies by holding a Public Hearing: For calendar year 2024, the City’s average annual vacancy rate for regular full -time equivalent positions is 6.4%. The table below provides a month -by-month breakdown of va cancy rates for regular full -time equivalent positions:

% of Vacancies 5.5% 6.6% 5.4% 5.4% 5.2% 5.4%

2. Allow employee organization participation: The City must permit each recognized employee association representing a City bargaining unit to provide input during the public hearing regarding vacancies and efforts related to recruitment and retention. In accordance with Gov ernment Code § 3502.3(b), the Human Resources Department notified six represented bargaining units of the opportunity to participate in the hearing.

The Fairfield Part -Time Employees Association (FPTEA) bargaining unit does not include any regular full -time equivalent positions, as the members in this unit are employed in part-time/temporary/as-needed capacities.

3. Provide additional reporting for high vacancy rates: If vacancies within a single bargaining unit reach or exceed 20% of the authorized full -time positions for that unit, the City is required, upon request from the recognized employee organization representing that unit, to provide additional information during the public hearing. This information must include:
1) the total number of vacancies in the bargaining unit;

2) the number of applicants;
3) the average time to fill positions; and
4) potential opportunities to enhance compensation and working conditions for employees within the unit, in accordance with Government Code § 3502.3(c).

For calendar year 2024, all City bargaining units represented by recognized employee organizations maintained vacancy rates below 20%, as summarized in the table below:

2024 Annual Average Vacancy Rate
Bargaining Unit Percentage
Fairfield Employees’ Association (FEA) 6.1%
Fairfield General Management Association (FGMA) 6.1%
Fairfield Police Officers’ Association (FPOA) 7.4%
Fairfield Police Management Association (FPMA) 0%
Fairfield Professional Firefighters’ Association (FPFA) 0% Fairfield Fire Managers’ Association (FFMA) 0%

While not re quired for purposes of AB 2561, the vacancy rates for the City’s unrepresented groups are included below:

Unrepresented Unit Percentage
Non-Management Confidential 14.3%
Confidential Management 7.7%
Executive 0%

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with conducting the public hearing required under Government Code section 3205.3.

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation for information purposes during the public hearing , at which the City will report on workforce vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts.

Staff has not identified any viable alternatives to the recommended action.

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-102 PD Parking Fee Schedule

Adding an Additional Section to the Parking Fee Schedule and Adopting the Current Parking Fee Schedule

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: Dan Marshall, (707) 428-7374

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold Public Hearing and adopt resolution.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Adopt the current fee schedule for parking fines and add an additional violation of 22500(n) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) with a $58 fine. This updates the parking fee schedule previously updated by the City Council in 2010.

DISCUSSION
In 1993, Assembly Bill (AB) 408 (California Vehicle Code 40200) decriminalized parking citation s and removed the parking citation processing from the courts effective July 1, 1993, thereby making standing or parking citations a civil offense. AB 408 changed the parking violation adjudication process and shifted the responsibility of establishing a schedule of parking penalties for parking violations to the governing bodies within a county, which includes the City Council. A parking fee was created in a resolution and was passed by the council on July 20, 1993, Resolution No. 93-125 (Attachment 3).

On December 7, 2010, Resolution No. 2010-333 (Attachment 4) was passed by the council, which added a $3 increase to all parking offenses listed on the parking fee schedule. This $3 surcharge was established due to the passing of Senate Bill (SB) 857 on December 7, 2010, which increased the amount the City pays to the State of California for every parking citation issued.

Between 2010 and 2023, the parking fines were increased to their current rate of $58.

On October 10, 2023, the State of California pa ssed AB 413, also known as the California Daylighting Bill. AB 413 added a new subdivision to Vehicle Code section 22500. Section 22500(n) prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present. This section was added to the CVC to help increase pedestrian safety and hopefully reduce the number of vehicle versus pedestrian crashes. Effective January 1, 2025, vehicles that are in violation of this section can be issued a parking citation.

Since 22500(n) CVC is a new section, the Fairfield Police Department has not yet set a fee amount.

Similar sections, such as 22500(a) CVC -parked within an intersection, 22500(b)CVC-parked over a crosswalk, 22500(e) CVC -Parked blocking a driveway, 22500(f) CVC-parked blocking sidewalk, 22500(h) CVC -double parked, 22500(I) CVC-parked in a bus zone, currently all impose a $58 fee.

The Police Department proposes to impose the same $58 fee on people who are in vi olation of the new section 22500(n) CVC. For any other parking violation listed in the Fairfield Municipal Code or California Vehicle Code and not listed in the proposed schedule, the fine shall be $58 unless otherwise indicated in the body of the statute.

The City’s fee must be comparable to fees issued by other cities in Solano County. The current $58 fee is comparable to surrounding agencies and therefore staff does not recommend increasing the fee amount.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Additional revenue is generated from the fees collected from parking citations, which are entered into the Police Department General Fund account.

WHEREAS, the Fairfield Police Department wishes to add the new section of 22500 (n) of the California Vehicle Code to the current parking fee schedule; and

AGENDA REPORT
DATE: June 3, 2025

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: David Gassaway, City Manager

SUBJECT: Ordinance 2025-04 FD Fire Hazard Severity Zones

Adding Chapter 8B Fairfield Fire Hazard Severity Zones Recommended by the California State Fire Marshal

Funding Source: N/A

Contact: Steven Conti, (707) 428-7550

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Hold public hearing; waive full reading, read by title only and introduce ordinance for first reading.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The California hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect zones susceptible to wildfire. New science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling are being incorporated to determine hazard ratings.

DISCUSSION
Government Code Section 51178 requires the California State Fire Marshal to identify and recommend areas within the state as Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and the severity hazard expected to prevail in those areas.

On February 24, 2025, the City of Fairfield received the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) Map from the State Fire Marshal, identifying designated zones within the city’s jurisdiction .

Pursuant to California Government Code Section 51179(b)(3), the City is p rohibited from decreasing the level of fire hazard severity zone identified by the State Fire Marshal for any area within Fairfield, and this adoption is consistent with the model ordinance issued by the State Fire Marshal.

The factors considered in deter mining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and potential fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the

model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegetation cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands. This is not a structure loss model, as key information regarding structure ignition is not included. The purpose of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone map is to assist the city of Fairfield, property owners, and the community in understanding areas of elevated fire risk. The designations help guide defensible space requirements, building standards, fire mitigation strategies, and public awareness efforts.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
N/A

PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 51178.5, the City of Fairfield made the draft updated hazard zone recommendations available for public review and comment within 30 days of receiving them.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Pursuant to Government Code Section 51179, local agencies are required to adopt the fire hazard severity zone designations within 120 days of receiving the recommendations from the State Fire Marshal.

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What do Fire Hazard Severity Zones measure?
The Fire Hazard Severity Zone map reflects “hazard,” not “risk”. The map is like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a par琀椀cular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescrip琀椀ve of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical condi琀椀ons that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mi琀椀ga琀椀on measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduc琀椀on efforts.
“Risk” is the poten琀椀al damage a fire can do to the area under exis琀椀ng condi琀椀ons, accoun琀椀ng for any modifica琀椀ons such as fuel reduc琀椀on projects, defensible space, and igni琀椀on resistant building construc琀椀on.

What is a Fire Hazard Severity Zone or FHSZ?
Public Resource Code 4202; The State Fire Marshal shall classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Each zone shall embrace rela琀椀vely homogeneous lands and shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors present, including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the department as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Government Code 51178; The State Fire Marshal shall iden琀椀fy areas in the state as Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones shall be based on fuel loading, slope, fire weather, and other relevant factors including areas where winds have been iden琀椀fied by the Office of the State Fire Marshal as a major cause of wildfire spread.

Will the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones affect my ability to get or maintain insurance? Insurance companies use risk models, which differ from hazard models, because they consider the suscep琀椀bility of a structure to damage from fire and other short-term factors that are not included in hazard modeling. It is unlikely that insurance risk models would u琀椀lize CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones as a factor, but much of the same data that is used in the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model are likely included in the insurance companies’ risk models. However, insurance risk models incorporate many addi琀椀onal factors and that change more frequently than those that CAL FIRE includes in its hazard mapping, which is built to remain steady for the next 10+ years.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
When were the maps last updated?
In 2007, CAL FIRE updated the FHSZs for the en琀椀re State Responsibility Area (SRA). Between 2008- 2011 the department worked with local governments to make recommenda琀椀ons of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

Why are fire hazard severity maps being updated?
The hazard maps are being updated to more accurately reflect the zones in California that are suscep琀椀ble to wildfire. The hazard mapping process will incorporate new science in local climate data and improved fire assessment modeling in determining hazard ra琀椀ngs.

Where do Fire Hazard Severity Zones apply?
Fire Hazard Severity Zones are found in areas where the state has financial responsibility for wildfire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on, called the State Responsibility Area. More than 31 million acres are in this area. Under Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021) Government Code 51178 was amended to also iden琀椀fy the Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones with the Very High in Local Responsibility Area (LRA).

What are the uses of Fire Hazard Severity Zones?
The zones are used for several purposes including to designate areas where California’s defensible space standards and wildland urban interface building codes are required. They can be a factor in real estate disclosure, and local governments may consider them in their general plan.

What are the key elements of the Fire Hazard Severity Zone model? The fire hazard severity model for wildland fire has two key elements: probability of an area burning and expected fire behavior under extreme fuel and weather condi琀椀ons. The zones reflect areas that have similar burn probabili琀椀es and fire behavior characteris琀椀cs. The factors considered in determining fire hazard within wildland areas are fire history, flame length, terrain, local weather, and poten琀椀al fuel over a 50-year period. Outside of wildlands, the model considers factors that might lead to buildings being threatened, including terrain, weather, urban vegeta琀椀on cover, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, fire history, and fire hazard in nearby wildlands.

FHSZs are not a structure loss model, as key informa琀椀on regarding structure igni琀椀on (such as roof type, etc.) is not included.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps differ from California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) High Fire Threat District Maps?
The California Public U琀椀li琀椀es Commission (CPUC) sponsored map, known as "CPUC High Fire Threat District Map” (HFTD), includes similar factors as those in the FHSZ maps, however the CPUC HFTD Map is designed specifically for iden琀椀fying areas where there is an increased risk for u琀椀lity associated wildfires. As such, the CPUC map includes fire hazards associated with historical powerline-caused wildfires, current fuel condi琀椀ons, and scores areas based on where fires start, as opposed to where poten琀椀al fires may cause impacts.

Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In wildland areas, zone edges are a result of the way zones are delineated. Specifically, zones represent areas of similar slope and fuel poten琀椀al. Zone boundaries divide zones based on geographic and vegeta琀椀on features that align with fire hazard poten琀椀al; although, at a local scale, it may appear that the immediate area is similar on both sides of the edge. The class value within a zone is based on the average hazard score across the whole zone, so areas that are in the same zone but not immediately adjacent to a local area can have an influence on the final zone classifica琀椀on. Classifica琀椀on outside of wildland areas is based on the fire hazard of the adjacent wildland and the probability of flames and embers threatening buildings.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined?
CAL FIRE used the best available science and data to develop, and field test a model that served as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluated the probability of the area burning and poten琀椀al fire behavior in the area. Many factors were included such as fire history, vegeta琀椀on, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather.

What new data will be included in the new model, and how does this differ from the previous model?
A 2 km grid of climate data covering the years 2003-2018 is being used in the update. The previous model used stock weather inputs across the state to calculate wildland fire intensity scores. The updated model will adjust fire intensity scores based on the most extreme fire weather at a given loca琀椀on, considering temperature, humidity, and wind speed. In addi琀椀on, ember transport is being modeled based on local distribu琀椀ons of observed wind speed and direc琀椀on values instead of using a generic buffer distance for urban areas adjacent to wildlands.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
How can I search the Fire Hazard Severity Zone of a property? You can search by address to find your current designa琀椀on on the web at: osfm.fire.ca.gov/FHSZ Why does the model place an emphasis on the spread of embers? Embers spread wildfire because they can travel long distances in the wind and ignite vegeta琀椀on, roofs, a琀?cs (by ge琀?ng into vents), and decks.

Why do waterbodies have a Fire Hazard Severity Zone Classifica琀椀on? All areas in State Responsibility Area, including water bodies, require a Fire Hazard Severity Zone designa琀椀on. The 2007 FHSZ maps zoned all water as Moderate by default. In the 2023 FHSZ model we added a buffer of FHSZ from the surrounding wildland into water bodies to account for poten琀椀al threat of embers to buildings on docks and house boats, as well as varia琀椀on in reservoir height that occurs with drought.

How does CAL FIRE assist Local Governments in Fire Hazard Severity Zones? CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program is a specialized unit that provides support to local governments by providing fire safety exper琀椀se on the State’s wildland urban interface building codes, wildfire safety codes, as well as helping in the development of the safety elements in general plans.

General

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is State Responsibility Area or SRA?
SRA is a legal term defining the area where the state has financial responsibility for wildland fire protec琀椀on and preven琀椀on. Incorporated ci琀椀es and federal ownership are not included. Within the SRA, CAL FIRE is responsible for fire preven琀椀on and suppression. There are more than 31 million acres in SRA, with an es琀椀mated 1.7 million people and 800,000 exis琀椀ng homes.

How is State Responsibility Area determined?
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protec琀椀on (Board) classifies land as State Responsibility Area. The legal defini琀椀on of SRA is found in the Public Resources Code Sec琀椀on 4125. The Board has developed detailed procedures to classify lands as State Responsibility Area. Lands are removed from SRA when they become incorporated by a city, change in ownership to the federal government, become more densely populated, or are converted to intensive agriculture that minimizes the risk of wildfire. While some lands are removed from SRA automa琀椀cally, the Board typically reviews changes every five years.

What Fire Hazard Severity Zones are in State Responsibility Area? All of the State Responsibility Area is in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Lands are either ranked as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

What are the wildland urban interface (WUI) building codes in State Responsibility Area? The WUI building codes (California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 7A) reduce the risk of embers fanned by wind-blown wildfires from igni琀椀ng buildings. The codes for roofing, siding, decking, windows, and vents apply throughout all State Responsibility Area regardless of the fire hazard severity ranking. Ember-resistant building materials can be found at:

State Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the various Fire Hazard Severity Zones? Classifica琀椀on of a wildland zone as Moderate, High or Very High Fire Hazard is based on the average hazard across the area included in the zone, which have a minimum size of 200 acres. In wildlands, hazard is a func琀椀on of modeled flame length under the worst condi琀椀ons and annual burn probability. Both these factors generally increase with increasing hazard level, but there may be instances where one value is Very High and the other is low, pushing the overall hazard into a more intermediate ranking. On average, both modeled flame length and burn probability increase by roughly 40-60% between hazard classes.

Is the GIS data for Fire Hazard Severity Zones available for download? The data inputs used to develop the Fire Hazard Severity Zones are iden琀椀fied in the Ini琀椀al Statement of Reasons (ISOR) Title 19 Development (ca.gov). CAL FIRE has developed an addi琀椀onal data package which consists of sequen琀椀al modeling steps, including any data inputs that were not already publicly available and referenced in the ISOR. The data package encompasses 34 spa琀椀al datasets and 8 tables, provided in raster, polygon, and table format. These datasets are forma琀琀ed for Esri ArcGIS so昀琀ware, except for four tables provided in Excel. Ten of the datasets are updated versions used to produce an edited SRA FHSZ map following the public comment period that ended April 4, 2023. Upon formal adop琀椀on of the FHSZ map, the final SRA FHSZ geospa琀椀al data file will become available. The data package is available on the FHSZ website Fire Hazard Severity Zones (ca.gov) under the science and methods banner.

State Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
What is Local Responsibility Area or LRA?
Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) are incorporated ci琀椀es, urban regions, agriculture lands, and por琀椀ons of the desert where the local government is responsible for wildfire protec琀椀on. This is typically provided by city fire departments, fire protec琀椀on districts, coun琀椀es, and by CAL FIRE under contract.

When did Fire Hazard Severity Zones begin in Local Responsibility Area? Assembly Bill 337 (Bates, 1992) prompted by the devasta琀椀ng Oakland Hills Fire of 1991, calls for CAL FIRE to evaluate fire hazard severity in Local Responsibility Area and to make a recommenda琀椀on to the local jurisdic琀椀on where Very High FHSZ exist. Government Code 51175 then provides direc琀椀on for the local jurisdic琀椀on to take appropriate ac琀椀on.

How are Fire Hazard Severity Zones determined in Local Responsibility Areas? CAL FIRE uses an extension of the State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone model as the basis for evalua琀椀ng fire hazard in Local Responsibility Area. The Local Responsibility Area hazard ra琀椀ng reflects flame and ember intrusion from adjacent wildlands and from flammable vegeta琀椀on in the urban area.

What are the requirements for landowners in Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas?
California’s WUI building codes (CBC Chapter 7A) apply to the design and construc琀椀on of new buildings located in High and Very High FHSZs in Local Responsibility Areas. Local ordinances may require igni琀椀on resistant construc琀椀on for remodel projects. Check with your local building department to determine which igni琀椀on resistant building codes apply to your project. In addi琀椀on, Government Code Sec琀椀on 51182 calls for defensible space clearance and other wildland fire safety prac琀椀ces for buildings. Owners are also required to make a natural hazard disclosure as part of a real estate transfer. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Does the designa琀椀on of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area trigger the 100-foot clearance requirement?
Yes, per Government Code 51182 unless a local government has passed a more stringent requirement, the 100-foot defensible space clearance applies. For informa琀椀on regarding home hardening and defensible space clearance, visit www.readyforwildfire.org.

Local Responsibility Area

FHSZ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my property in a different zone than the adjacent area, which looks similar? In non-wildland areas, zone edges occur based on distance to the wildland edge. Because hazard in these areas is largely determined by incoming embers from adjacent wildland, urban areas that are similar in vegeta琀椀on type and housing density may have a change in FHSZ class as the distance to the wildland edge increases. Areas immediately adjacent to wildland receive the same FHSZ score as that wildland where fire originates, and the model then produces lower scores as the distance to wildland edge increases.

What is the process for developing Fire Hazard Severity Zones in the Local Responsibility Area? CAL FIRE uses the same modeling data that is used to map the State Responsibility Area. The map, along with a model ordinance, are then sent to the governing body for adop琀椀on.

How are the new Fire Hazard Severity Zones impac琀椀ng development? Many of the changes expanding Fire Hazard Severity Zones in Local Responsibility Areas have been supported by the building industry. CAL FIRE works closely with the building industry when se琀?ng various building codes and defensible space requirements, so we are working together to not affect development itself but to make sure development matches the hazards of that area.

When will the Local Responsibility Area Map be released? The Local Responsibility Area map process will happen a昀琀er the State Responsibility Area process has been completed, which is es琀椀mated to occur in winter of 2025.

Why haven’t Moderate and High Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes been classified before in the Local Responsibility Area?
New legisla琀椀on, Senate Bill 63 (Stern, 2021), now requires the adop琀椀on of all three Fire Hazard Severity Zone classes in the Local Responsibility Area. Previously only Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones were required for adop琀椀on in Local Responsibility Areas.

LRA Legislation Factsheet

Assembly Bill No.337

An act to add Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 51175) to Part 1 of Division 1 of Title 5 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 13108.5 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to fire protection.

[Enrolled, January 28, 1991]

AB 337, Bates. Very high fire hazard severity zones.

(1) Under existing law, the State Board of Forestry is required to classify all lands within the state, in accordance with prescribed criteria, for the purpose of determining areas in which the financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires is primarily the responsibility of the state.

This bill would declare that the prevention of fires is not a municipal affair but is instead, a matter of statewide concern, and would make a finding and declaration of the Legislature that its provisions apply to all local agencies, including, but not limited to, charter cities, charter counties, and charter cities and counties. The bill would prohibit that finding from limiting the authority of a local agency, as defined, from imposing more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

The bill would state that it is not the intent of the Legislature to limit or restrict the authority of a local agency to impose more restrictive fire and panic safety requirements, as otherwise authorized by law.

This bill would require the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones within all counties pursuant to a prescribed schedule. The bill would require local agencies, as defined, to designate, by ordinance, very high fire hazard severity zones in their jurisdiction after receiving recommendations from the director, except as prescribed. The bill would authorize local agencies to include or exclude areas following certain findings and would require changes made by local agencies to be final and not rebuttable by the director. By requiring local agencies to designate very high fire hazard severity zones within their jurisdictions, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Fire Marshal to prepare and adopt a model ordinance that provides for the establishment of any high fire hazard security zones.

LRA Legislation Factsheet

Assembly Bill No.337 (Continued)

(2) Under existing law, any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains any building or structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area or forest-covered lands, brush-covered lands, or grass-covered lands, or any land that is covered with flammable material, is required to undertake specified fire protection measures, including the maintenance of specified firebreaks.

The bill would enact requirements of this nature for any person who owns, leases, controls, operates, or maintains, any occupied dwelling or occupied structure in, upon, or adjoining any mountainous area, forest-covered land, brush-covered land, grass-covered land, or land covered with flammable material, which area or land is within a very high fire hazard severity zone, as described in (1).

The bill would authorize local agencies to exempt certain structures and would exempt certain land or water areas.

The bill would make violation of these requirements an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program by creating a new crime, and would specify related matters.

This bill would require local agencies to notify owners of property of violation and would authorize local agencies to correct the conditions and make a lien upon the property, as prescribed. By creating these requirements, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would permit a violation of these requirements to be considered a public nuisance, as specified.

(3) Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to adopt, amend, and repeal regulations for roof coverings and openings into the attic areas of buildings in those fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands as designated by the director. Existing law requires the director to classify lands within state responsibility areas into fire hazard severity zones.

This bill would instead require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal those regulations. The bill would also require the State Fire Marshal to propose, and would require the State Building Standards Commission to adopt, amend, and repeal, those regulations for buildings in very high fire hazard severity zones in state responsibility lands, designated by the director, and in very high fire hazard severity zones as described in (1). The bill would require roofs on all new buildings and certain existing buildings in both of those zones to be at least a class B roof that complies with Standard 32-7 of the Uniform Building Code, as adopted in the California Building Standards Code. The bill would impose requirements on installers and roofing materials and make other related changes. The bill would exempt historic buildings, as defined, from these provisions.
