A. Interest in Small-lot Residential Development
Recommend that the City Council receive the information contained in this report regarding interest in small lot development and provide comments and direction to staff.

He also examined R-1 lot size standards from other cities. Additionally, he addressed small lot concerns, potential benefits, and discussed possible amenities, as well as the open spaces that would be required with smaller lots.

Discussion took place with a consensus of allowing residential lots to be reduced to 5,000 sq. ft. if submitted as a Planned Unit Development.

Staff Report 7D
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Steve Huntley, CPFO, IPMA-SCP
Director of Finance & Administration
DATE: January 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Direct City Manager to sign lease financing agreement by Resolution 2024-001, for the purchase of police vehicles per the adopted Police Vehicle Purchase Plan.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2024-001 directing the City Manager to sign the attached lease agreement for the ultimate purchase and delivery of three new police patrol vehicles for the City of Farmersville in alignment with the adopted Police Vehicle Purchase Plan.

BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:

This purchase and financing through the lease agreement, is already budgeted for Fiscal Year 2024 (via Resolution 2023-017 dated June 12, 2023 adopting a budget for FY 2024 containing a five-year Capital Improvement Plan). The Council will recall that the original Police Vehicle Purchase Plan approved on December 8, 2014 allowed for a purchase of three new patrol vehicles every other year - this is the continuation of that plan.

The proposed lease is with our close partners at Citizen Business Bank and Municipal Finance Corporation for which the City has executed several leases with now and have been easy to manage and affordable compared to other options in the market. City staff recommends that we continue with our existing relationship and process as it has saved the City thousands of dollars and managed important General Fund cashflows effectively.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost of the vehicles includes extended warranties and all new equipment and up-fitting needed to make these vehicles service ready immediately upon delivery.. One vehicle will be specially outfitted for a K-9 officer.

The lease agreement is for a term of three years and at an interest rate of 5.95%. The principal amount of the loan is $208,200.94 and will incur a cost of $20,675.06 in interest over the life of the loan. Payments will be processed each quarter ($19,073.00 per quarter). This low-cost option is a direct result of our existing relationship with Municipal Finance Corporation and taking advantage of State contract pricing for public safety vehicles.

This rate is competitive with other current government financing for similar situations revealed through industry research by finance staff. This agreement would also help the City to maintain a higher level of cash reserves currently needed for other large projects and ongoing operations. This continues to be a historic time to finance vehicles due to the current extended low interest rate environment.

However, the agreement allows for a purchase option at any time, given that the City in good standing with the lease payments, as displayed in Exhibit B of the lease agreement. Should this option be executed, it could dramatically increase the cost to the City in that period but ultimately save some interest expense overall. At this time, staff intend to follow the lease payment schedule to the end as part of our strategy to spread cost over multiple years. These ongoing and regular expenses are both anticipated in the Police Vehicle Purchase Plan and will be budgeted accordingly in future years.

The amount of maintenance and repair costs saved by making these purchases earlier is unknown. However, expense related to fleet maintenance and significant repair costs have been dramatically reduced by prior Police Vehicle Purchase Plan purchases.

There are other various small expenditures and revenues associated with this purchase, namely:

1. Cost of insurance as a high-value vehicle through the CSJVRMA. This is estimated at a few hundred dollars per year for all three vehicles but provides for up to a complete replacement cost of a new vehicle as needed.

2. Potential revenue from sale of retiring vehicles to be replaced. The exact vehicles being replaced are unknown at this time and their value and sale price may depend upon their current condition, and other variable factors at the time of sale.

None of these additional costs or revenues are anticipated to be large enough change the existing budget within the Police Department (and may partially or completely offset) but are mentioned as part of a complete analysis of the purchases.

FARMERSVILLE
City Council
Staff Report 8A
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Karl Schoettler, City Planner
DATE: January 8, 2024
RE: Public hearing to consider adoption of an ordinance to regulate the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU's) RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and vote to introduce Ordinance 523, an amendment to Title 17 (the Zoning Ordinance) of the Farmersville Municipal code to establish standards to regulate the development of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU's).

ANALYSIS:

The action is an update of the Farmersville Zoning Ordinance to incorporate State-mandated requirements that allow the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU's) on appropriately-zoned lots in Farmersville.

ADU's and JADU's are additional dwellings that cities are required to permit on residentially- zoned lots (including single family residential, multi-family residential, and planned unit development lots).

Farmersville currently has a "Granny Flat" ordinance that was adopted many years ago as a second unit ordinance specifically for those aged 65 years and older. However, the recent State laws require cities to expand relations to allow for the development of affordable housing to all citizens of its community, regardless of age. This report provides an overview of these requirements and how they are incorporated into the City's code.

Purpose
The purpose of the State's Accessory Dwelling Unit laws is to promote the development of affordable housing. California has some of the least affordable housing in the nation (though that is an issue moreso along the coast and major cities (Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, 1 etc.)). Accessory Dwelling Units are an opportunity for the creation of affordable housing, for several reasons, including:

Small size of the unit, reducing construction costs;
The land is already purchased;
Utilities are already present;
Covered parking is not required
Depending on the size of the building, ADU's typically have a bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen, sitting room, etc. ADU's can be either attached (or part of) the primary dwelling, or a detached, free-standing structure.

JADU's
In addition, State law has created an additional type of unit called a Junior Accessory Dwelling nit (JADU). This type of unit is carved out of the footprint of an existing single-family home anc an be no larger than 500 square feet. Of note, the garage of an existing home can be converte to become a JADU. A JADU may include separate sanitation facilities or may share sanitation facilities with the existing structure. Additionally, a JADU must include exterior access separate from the main entrance to the proposed or existing primary dwelling or other structure.

Overview of Proposed Ordinance
The following is a narrative of key points of the ordinance.

Pages 1-2 of the proposed ordinance provide procedural language for adoption of the ordinance and relate the ordinance to State ADU law and the State's housing goals.

Beginning on page 3, the ordinance begins to establish the actual development standards for ADU's and JĄDU's, including zones permitted, number of units allowed, setbacks, building height, unit size, parking, appearance, occupancy, access, utilities, fees and exceptions.

Key sections and requirements include:

Definitions of terms utilized in the ordinance are provided on pages 4-6.

family residential, multi-family residential, and planned development zone districts).

eligible for up to one ADU and one JADU. Each lot zoned for multi-family residential • development is eligible for a number of ADU's up to 25% of the number of multi-family units that can be developed on the subject lot. As an example, a multi-family lot eligible for 20 multi-family units could potentially have up to 5 ADU's.

the subject zone, except that a detached ADU in a rear yard may come within 4 feet of a rear or side yard setback.

and also for JADU's, as follows:
2 • For detached ADU's the maximum size ranges from 800 to 1,200 square feet and depends on the number of bedrooms proposed in the unit.
• For an attached ADU the maximum size can be up to 50% of the floor area of the primary dwelling, not to exceed 800 square feet.
• For a JADU, the maximum size is 500 square feet.

Pages 10 and 11 (Sections 7 and 8) states that ADU's may be up to 16 feet high under any circirmstance. Additionally, ADU's may be allowed up to 18 feet in height if the proposed ADU is within ½ mile of public transit or if the property already has multi family units on it up to 18 feet in height. ADU's may be up to two stories (up to 25 feet high), if they are attached to a primary dwelling with the same height.

an ADU and JADU must use șimilar materials, colors, windows, and roof pitch as the primary dwelling. The goal is to ensure that ADU's maintain the character of the site and the neighborhood.
• Page 12 (Item 9) explains the requirements for JADU building standards, which include that • JADU's must have a separate entrance from the primary dwelling, and that JADU's must have an efficiency kitchen included in the design.

establishes that the City can impose impact fees only on ADU's that are larger than 750 square feet and the fees must be proportionate to those collected for a primary dwelling. Impact fees are collected for the improvement of city utility systems and facilities, including water, sewer, storm drain, streets, police and fire, parks, transportion and general administration.

requiring the owner of the property to live on the site. However, for a JADU, the owner must live in the primary dwelling on the lot.

site for an ADU. This can be provided on an existing driveway in tandem with other existing parking spaces. State law does not allow the City to require any parking spaces for a JADU.

Pages 16-18: This section lists uses that are permitted in Farmersville's residential zones and is amended to add Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling units as permitted in the R-1, RM and U-R zones. The table is also amended to delete the use "Second Detached Residential Unit" (which no longer complies with State law).

Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the ordinance on November 15, 2023. Prior to that, staff conducted an informational presentation on the ordinance with the Planning Commission in October. Following discussion, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council adopt the Ordinance.

COORDINATION & REVIEW:

The proposed ordinance has been reviewed with the City's legal counsel. 3 CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED GOALS, PLANS, AND PROGRAMS:

The proposed ordinance is consistent with State laws and and policies regarding the development of affordable housing and also the City's Housing Element of the General Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

State law requires cities to waive impact fees for any ADU under 750 square feet in size. ADU's that are larger than 750 square feet can be assessed impact fees, proportionate to fees that are normally collected for a primary dwelling.

CONCLUȘION:

As mentioned previously, the ADU. ordinance is required by State law to promote the development of this form of housing as an affordable source of housing for existing and future residents of Farmersville. It should be noted that these standards will be included in the comprehensive Zoning Ordinance update currently under preparation.

DATE: January 8, 2024
RE: Public hearing for the Kaweah Pointe residential development project pertaining to 37+ acres of land on the north side of Visalia Road, west of the Virginia Avenue alignment, proposing 151 single family residential lots, 3.7+ acres of parks/open space, 1.4-acres of land zoned for future multi-family residential development RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and vote to approve the proposed residential subdivision by taking the following actions:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-02 adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration as the environmental finding for the project

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-03 approving a General Plan land use amendment for the project site

3. Introduce Ordinance No. 521 amending the existing zoning designations for the site

4. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-04 approving Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2022-01.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The application is a series of planning approvals for the development of a single-family residential subdivision on a 36.5-acre site located on the north side of Visalia Road located west of the Virginia Avenue alignment and east of the Tulare Irrigation District canal. Attachment "A" is a location map and Attachment "B" is an aerial photo of the site.

Existing Zoning Land Uses and Proposed Amendments
The site is currently in agricultural use, and ag uses surround the site to the north, west and south. There are existing residential neighborhoods to the east and vacant land zoned for commercial use to the southeast (along Visalia Road).
1 The bulk of the site is currently zoned "R-1" (Single Family Residential), however approximately

5.6 acres on the Visalia Road frontage are zoned for commercial use (the "CG" zone (General Commercial)). In addition, approximately 7 acres along the west side of the site are zoned for multi-family residential development in the "RM-2.5" zone (Multi-Family Residential). Finally a small area is designated for a future park in the northeast corner of the site.

The existing zoning designations are the result of a subdivision design that was previously approved for the site (Hacienda Estatas, approved in 2006) but that was never built. The subdivision approval has since expired, however the zoning designations remain on the land.

Project Design
Attachment "C" shows the proposed subdivision design. The subdivision proposes 151 single family residential lots. The design is essentially a grid street pattern (which is favored by the Farmersville Design guidelines for a number of reasons, as it improves walkability by providing multiple route choices, it can result in improved air quality and lower fuel consumption and also is favored by police and fire as it offers multiple route choices for emergency response).

A new collector roadway will run north/south across the site and connect to Visalia Road. This road will provide access to the site. From there a series of five east-west streets will access rows of single family residential lots. A second local street will connect to Visalia Road at the east edge of the site.

There will be a 1.1-acre park/stormwater ponding basin situated roughly in the center of the site, on the east side of the collector street. As the name implies, this feature will function as both 'a recreational open space and also a collector for storm water generated by the subdivision. It is expected that most of the time the facility will be dry. The park is expected to be landscaped with a combination of turf, shrubs and shade trees.

Landscaped open space walking/cycling corridors will also be situated on both the west and east sides of the subdivision, parallel to the existing irrigation canals that run there. These are required as a result of the Farmersville Waterway/Trails Master Plan that was adopted by the City in 2010.

The Plan followed the lead of the City of Visalia in how to treat irrigation canals. Instead of canals running behind the rear fence of lots (where they often become neglected and weed-filled) the preference is for them to be developed as open space features with landscaping and trails. In this fashion the City can create an interconnected citywide trail system as development occurs along the canals. It should be noted that the previous subdivision that was approved for this site also was designed with these trails along the canals.

Multi-Family site
As shown on Attachment "C", the project design has shifted the existing multi-family zoning on the site to land on the front of the site along Visalia Road.. Approximately 1.4 acres is designated there for future multi-family development. The current developer is not proposing any multi-family development for this site and intends to sell it to such a developer.

Planned Unit Development
The subdivision is proposed as a "Planned Development" and is seeking a Conditional Use Permit for application of the "PD" (Planned Development) overlay zone. 2 The PD zone allows for flexibility with zoning standards (such as lot size, setbacks, etc.) provided that the Planning Commission and City Council are able to find that the design of the project is superior to what could be achieved using base zoning standards.

For this subdivision the applicant is requesting lots smaller than 6,000 square feet (though none smaller than 5,000 square feet. The applicant is also requesting a reduced front yard setback for homes. The standard is 25 feet; the request is for a 15-foot front yard setback (but with a 20 foot front yard setback for driveways/garages. The applicant is also requesting approval to reduce the street side yards on corner lots from 15 feet to 10 feet.

The PD zone should not be simply used as a way for a developer to simply get more lots on a site. In order to help the Commission and Council be able to make the finding that the PD zone is resulting in a "superior design" the City has in the past required certain upgrades to PD projects, including items such as:
• Traffic-calming mechanisms such as "bulb-outs" at street corners, to help slow traffic and make the project more pedestrian-friendly.
• Street trees to shade, cool and beautify the project. Shade trees also make it more pleasant for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling. • Landscaped median islands at selected locations, such as project entrances. • Antique-style streetlamps. These help to reinforce the desired pedestrian-oriented character of the neighborhood.
• Stamped concrete crosswalks help to beautify and add character to the neighborhood. • Architectural control of the facades of homes. The Farmersville Design Guidelines contains a number of recommendations for the design of homes to further reinforce the concept of a "neighborhood" (versus just a "subdivision"). Design techniques can include requiring homes to have large, useable front porches, garages set back and the use of architectural styles that are historic to the San Joaquin Valley (and California) such as Spanish, Craftsman, Mediterranean, etc.).

These design mechanisms are recommended for this project so that the Planning Commission (and City Council) can make the finding that the project is truly "superior".

Circulation
As noted above, the project will be served by Visalia Road. This road is programmed to be widened by Tulare County in the near future. The widened road will feature four lanes, including two lanes in each direction. along with curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street trees and street lights.

There will also be a landscaped median divider.

The portion of the subdivision with single family homes will have a sound wall and a landscape buffer backing onto Visalia Road
A new north/south collector street (Hacienda Drive) will provide access into the subdivision. A local street will also-connect to Visalia Road at the east edge of the site. 3 The intersection of Visalia Road and the future Hacienda Drive will eventually need to be signalized; the traffic impact study that was prepared for the project estimates that a traffic signal Will not be warranted for more than ten years and that the project should contribute 6.69 percent of the cost of this signal. The remainder of the traffic "impact" on this intersection will result from city- and area-wide traffic growth along Visalia Road. It should be noted that the subdivision project will also be paying the City's newly-adopted traffic impact fees at $760 per lot.

Proposed Zoning and Land Use designations
In order to achieve the desired subdivision design the applicant is proposing zone changes (and General Plan land use amendments) as shown in Attachment "D" The bulk of the site will be zoned "R-1 (PD)" This will allow for the creation of the 151 single family residential lots (including applying the "PD" zone to allow lots smaller than required by the R-1 zone), as well as reduced yard setbacks (front yards and the street side of corner lots).

The existing "CG" zone along Visalia Road is proposed to be eliminated and replaced in part with the "RM-2.5" (Multi Family Residential zone). The remaining area will be zoned "R-1 (PD)".

The existing "RM-2,5" (Multi-Family Residential zone) along the west side of the site will be eliminated (and as noted above, shifted to the south side of the site along Visalia Road, replacing the "CG" zone.

The exising "PQP" zone will be eliminated but will be replaced where the new park/pond is planned and also will be applied to the open space corridors along the canals.

Housing Element Zoning Requirement
As previously noted, a 7-acre portion of the site is currently zoned for multi-family residential ("RM-2.5" zone). The City was required to apply this zoning as a result of the previous Housing Element of the General Plan, which requires the City to have a certain amount of multi-family zoning, to provide for housing needs of the community's lower income families. The City cannot eliminate this zoning and so it is being relocated to the south side of the site (albeit in a reduced acreage) with some additional acreage being established on N. Farmersille Boulevard as part of the Gardenia Courtyards multi-family project.

Environmental Analysis
As required by law, the City had a consulting firm (Crawford and Bowen) prepare an analysis of potential impacts that may result from the project. The study was advertised and circulated for 30 days for public review and comment. At the close of the comment period one letter had been - submitted. This letter was from the Air District and had no significant comments.

The environmental study determined the project would not have significant impacts to the - environment provided that mitigation measures are incorporated into the project design and construction. These include:
• Air Quality - The developer will be required to devise and submit measures for reducing air quality impacts, particularly as it relates to equipment used during construction of the project. 4 • Biological resources. Project construction should occur outside the bird nesting season but if conducted during nesting season a biologist must survey the site and if nests are discovered, construction in that area must be avoided.
• Cultural Resources: Construction crews should be trained to be observant for buried human remains or cultural artifacts and if these are encountered during construction then a preservation protocol must be implemented.
• Traffic/Circulation. The project will be required to pay fair share amounts toward future signalization at the following intersections:
• Visalia Road/Hacienda Drive: 6.69%
• Visalia Road/Virginia Avenue: 4.51%
• Farmersville Blvd./Front Street: 8.83%
To mitigate circulation/greenhouse gas impacts of the project, the study identified that the project be required to install/upgrade ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps at the following nearby intersections:
• Costner Street & Steven Avenue (2 ramps)
• • Virginia Avenue & Ash Street (4 ramps) :
• June Avenue & Ash Street (2 ramps)
• Steven Avenue & Ash Street (2 ramps)
• Utilities
The project will be required to extend and connect to City utility lines, including water, sewer and storm drain. There are currently utility lines along the east side of the site (sewer) and along Visalia Road southeast of the site (water) and the project will tap these. The Public Works and Engineering Departments report there is adequate capacity in all systems to accommodate the project. The project will retain storm drainage on site in the proposed park/ponding basin. In order to conserve water, all landscaping on the site will be required to meet the City's water- efficient landscape ordinance.

Planning Commission Hearing
The Farmersville Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the project on December 13, 2023. Following discussion the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project.

COORDINATION & REVIEW:

A public hearing notice was published in the Exeter Sun Gazette newspaper and notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the site, at least 10 days before the City Council's hearing.

CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED GOALS, PLANS, AND PROGRAMS:

The proposed project is consistent with city policies and standards, including the 2025 Farmersville General Plan, Farmersville Zoning Ordinance, Farmersville Subdivision Ordinance and Farmersville Improvement Standards Manual.
5 FISCAL IMPACT:

Each lot that is developed in the subdivision will be required to pay the City's Development Impact Fees. Further, once developed, each homeowner will pay monthly utility charges.

CONCLUSION:

The project has been reviewed by City department heads, including planning, engineering, public works, fire, police and administration who have provided conditions of approval that will be applied to the project. Staff is recommending approval of the project as is the Planning.

Commission.

Exhibit "A": Mitigation Measures
AIR-1:

Before a construction permit is issued for the proposed Project, the Project applicant, project sponsor, or construction contractor shall submit documentation demonstrating reasonably detailed compliance with one of the following requirements to the City of Farmersville:
•. Option 1: Where portable diesel engines are used during construction, all off-road equipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower shall have engines that meet or exceed either United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 3. off-road emission standards except as otherwise specified herein. If engines that comply with Tier 3, Tier Interim, or Tier 4 Final off-road emission standards are not commercially available, then the construction contractor shall use the next cleanest piece of off-road equipment (e.g., Tier 2) that is commercially available. For purposes of this project design feature, "commercially available" shall mean the equipment at issue is available taking into consideration factors such as (i) critical-path timing of construction; and (i) geographic proximity to the project site of equipment. If the relevant equipment is determined by the Project applicant to not be commercially available, the contractor can confirm this conclusion by providing letters from at least two rental companies for each piece of off- road equipment that is at issue.
• Option 2: Prior to the issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permits (whichever occurs earliest), the Project applicant and/or construction contractor shall prepare a construction operations plan that, during construction activities, requires all off-road equipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower to meet either the particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 3 engines or be equipped with Level 3 diesel particulate filters. Tier 3 engines shall, at a minimum, meet EPA or CARB particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 3 engines. Alternatively, use of CARB- certified Level 3 diesel particulate filters on off-road equipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower can. be used in lieu of Tier 3 engines or in combination with Tier 3 or better engines. The construction contractor shall maintain records documenting its efforts to comply with this requirement, including equipment lists. Off-road equipment descriptions and information shall include, but are not limited to, equipment type, equipment manufacturer, equipment identification number, engine model year, engine certification (Tier rating), horsepower, and engine serial number.

The Project applicant and/or construction contractor shall submit the construction operations plan and records of compliance to the City of Farmersville.

BIO-1: Protect nesting birds.

1. To the extent practicable, construction shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting season, which extends from February through August.
• 2. If it is not possible to schedule construction.between September and January, pre- construction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no active nests will be disturbed during the implementation of the Project. A pre-construction survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of construction activities. During this survey, the qualified biologist shall inspect all potential nest substrates in and immediately adjacent to the impact areas. If an active nest is found close enough to the construction area to be disturbed by these activities, the qualified biologist shall determine the extent of a construction-free buffer to be established around the nest. If work cannot proceed without disturbing the nesting birds, -4-

work may need to be halted or redirected to other areas until nesting and fledging are completed or the nest has otherwise failed for non-construction related reasons.

CUL-1: The following measures shall be implemented:
• Before initiation of construction or ground-disturbing activities associated with the Project, the City shall require all construction personnel to be alerted to the possibility of buried cultural resources, including historic, archeological and paleontological resources; • The general contractor and its supervisory staff shall be responsible for monitoring the construction Project for disturbance of cultural resources; and • 'If a potentially significant historical, archaeological, or paleontological resource, such as structural features, unusual amounts of bone or shell, artifacts, human remains, or architectural remains or trash deposits are encountered during subsurface construction activities (i.e., trenching, grading), all construction activities within a 100-foot radius of the identified potential resource shall cease until a qualified archaeologist evaluates the item for its significance and records the item on the appropriate State Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms. The archaeologist shall determine whether the item requires further study. If, after the qualified archaeologist conducts appropriate technical analyses, the item is determined to be significant under California Environmental Quality Act, the archaeologist shall recommend feasible mitigation measures, which may include avoidance, preservation in place or other appropriate measure, as outlined in Public Resources Code section 21083.2: The City of Farmersville shall implement said measures.

CUL-2: The Project applicant shall incorporate into the construction contracts) a provision that in the event a fossil or fossil formations are discovered during any subsurface construction activities for the proposed Project (i.e., trenching, grading), all excavations within 100 feet of the find shall be temporarily halted until the find is examined by a qualified paleontologist, in accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards. The paleontologist shall notify the Project applicant, who shall coordinate with the paleontologist as to any necessary investigation of the find. If the find is determined to be significant under CEQA, the City shall implement those measures, which may include avoidance, preservation in place, or other appropriate measures, as outlined in Public Resources Code section 21083.2.

BIO-1: Protect nesting birds.

1. To the extent practicable, construction shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting season, which extends from February through August.

2. If it is not possible to schedule construction between September and January, pre-construction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no active nests will be disturbed during he implementation of the Project. A pre-construction survey shall b onducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of constructio activities. During this survey, the qualified biologist shall inspect all potential nest substrates in and immediately adjacent to the impact areas.

If an active nest is found close enough to the construction area to be ¡disturbed by these activities, the qualified biologist shall determine the extent of a construction-free buffer to be established around the nest. If work cannot proceed without disturbing the nesting birds, work may nee to be halted or redirected to other areas until nesting and fledging are completed or the nest has otherwise failed for non-construction related reasons.

Farmersville City Council

FARMERSVILLE
City Council
Staff Report 8C
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Karl Schoettler, City Planner
DATE: January 8, 2024
RE: Public hearing for the Gardenia Courtyards multi-family residential and commercial project pertaining to 6.6t acres of land on the east side of N. Farmersville Boulevard, north of Walnut Avenue, proposing 82 multi-family residential units, and 2.7tacres of land zoned for future commercial development.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and vote to approve the proposed project by taking the following actions:
• Adopt Resolution No. 2024-05, approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration as the environmental finding for the project.

Adopt Resolution No. 2024-06, approving a General Plan Amendment for the site. : Introduce Ordinance No. 522 approving a zone change for the site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The applicant is requesting approval of a General Plan Amendment and zone change to develop senior and family multi-family residential housing on a 6.6-acre portion of a 9.3-acre site located on the east side of Farmersville Boulevard about 625 feet north of Walnut Avenue. Exhibit "A" is a location map and Exhibit "B" is an aerial photo of the site.

The site is currently vacant and is bordered by commercial uses to the west, County residential development to the north and east, and vacant land to the south. There is an existing gravel lane that crosses the site and provides access from Farmersville Boulevard to single family homes that exist to the east of the site (in County territory). This lane is established as an easement and will continue to exist with the proposed project, (although the lane will be paved by the project). 1 Existing Land Uses and Zoning
The site is currently zoned "CG" (General Commercial) and the applicant is requesting the zoning •
be changed to the "RM-2.5" (Multi Family Residential) zone for the easterly 6.6 acres of the site to accommodate the residential project. A 2.7- acre portion fronting on Farmersville Boulevard will remain commercially-zoned, allowing for future commercial development immediately at the street.

The General Plan land use designation is proposed to be amended from "General Commercial" to "Medium High Density Residential" for the residential portion of the site. The RM-2.5 zone is consistent with this designation.

Staff believes the proposed amendments are appropriate. The site has been zoned for commercial development for decades but has had no serious proposals for such development.

Placing multi family residential development in this location will allow residents close access to shopping, parks and schools, and may in fact help promote additional commercial development in the area due to the additional population. The site also has good street access to major. streets (Farmersville Boulevard, Walnut Avenue and Highway 198 to the north).

The City considered compatibility with existing surrounding uses, in particular residential development in the county to the east and north. It is believed the project can be a better neighbor than a general commercial project such as a shopping center. A commercial shopping center would likely be designed in a fashion with buildings on the east and north sides of the site, with services entrances, trash dumpsters, lighting, behind the buildings etc. that would negatively impact these residences. In addition, the proposed multi-family project has been designed with buildings away from the east and north property lines, to reduce "overlook" from the buildings to these properties. Views will further be screened by the planting' of shade trees with large canopies.

As noted above, the frontage of the site will remain designated for future commercial development.

Site Pian
The Planning Commission approved the Site Plan at their hearing.on December 13, 2023. The City Council does not take action on the Site Plan, but the following overview is provided for Council's review and information.

Exhibit "C" shows the proposed site plan for the site. For the commercial area, a conceptual site plan is shown for various potential types of commercial uses including fast food restaurants with drive thru lanes. Again, these are only conceptual and are not proposed at the current time.

The site plan for the multi-family portion of the project is divided in two with 42 units of senior housing on the north side and 40 units of family housing on the south side of the site.

A private drive will bisect the site (and will also provide access to the existing residential units to the east of the site): The existing easement will be adjusted to fit this lane.

The senior housing project proposes four 2-story buildings and will feature 1- and 2-bedroom units ranging from 705 to 906 square feet. Parking (96 spaces) will be situated along the east 2 and north sides of the site in a "loop" configuration, with a drive connection to Farmersville Boulevard. One parking space per unit will be covered with gable-style carports.

Intervening areas will feature landscaping, walkways, a dog park, bocce ball court, pergola and swales for temporary storm drainage/groundwater percolation. Additional improvements include trash enclosures (in the parking area, lighting, and utility connections.

The south side of the site is designed for family units and proposes four 2 story buildings with 10 units in each building. The buildings will feature 2- and 3-bedroom units ranging from 765. to 1,000 square feet. Rents for all units (seniors and families) will be restricted to households earning less than 60% of the Tulare County Median Income.

There will also be a community building with rental office and facilities for residents. Parking (92 spaces) will be situated along the east side as well as through the middle of the site.

Other amenities will include a half basketball court, a dog park, tot lot and shade pergola.

Intervening spaces will be treated with landscaping, walkways, lighting and storm drain swales.

The applicant will construct 6-foot high solid masonry walls around the perimeter of the site.

Climbing vines will be planted at the base of the walls for beautification and graffiti prevention.

The project meets all zoning standards in terms of setbacks, height, parking, density, landscaping and fencing.

Architectural Design
The buildings are designed with a historic residential architectural character, reflecting elements of Craftsman design, including lap siding, board and batten, stone veneer and articulated trim, with double-hung windows (see Exhibit "D"). Roofs will feature composition shingles. Each unit • will feature a second floor balcony and a first floor porch. Stairways to second floor units will be concealed within the footprint of the building, which meets policies in the Farmersville Design Guidelines (for multi-family residential buildings).

Housing Element Compliance
The project will help the City achieve, housing goals that are stipulated in the Farmersville Housing Element. As the Council is aware, the Housing Element is a part of the General Plan and sets forth State-mandated goals concerning housing production for all income levels, particularly housing for lower-income families. Units in the project will be reserved for households earning less than 60% of the Tulare County median income. The Housing Element calls for 218 lower income units to be constructed in Farmersville by the end of the year 2031 to meet the City's housing demand. This project will significantly help the City achieve this goal.

Utilities
The project will connect to nearby water and sewer lines that run under Farmersville Boulevard.

Engineering and Public Works staff report there is adequate capacity in these systems to accommodate the project. Regarding storm drainage, city facilities in this area are limited. The project will be retaining storm drainage on-site via a series of swales in the landscape areas. The applicant will need to provide calculations to the City Engineer to verify the size and location of these swales.
3 Parcel Map
The project will be submitting an application for a parcel map to divide the residential part of the site from the commercially-zoned portion that fronts on Farmersville Boulevard. That application will come before the Planning Commission at a future date.

Environmental Analysis
The City commissioned a consultant to prepare an environmental analysis of the project, as required by CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act). The study determined the project • would not have any significant impacts on the environment, provided that mitigation measures are included in the project's construction. Mitigation measures were identified regarding:

Biological Resources: Construction should be scheduled to avoid the bird nesting season. If that is not practical, a pre-construction survey must be done to determine the presence of any nearby active nests and avoidance measures must then be implemented.

Cultural Resources: Construction workers shall be trained to recognize cultural resources that may be uncovered during construction. If resources are found during construction, an archaeologist shall review the find and devise appropriate measures.

Traffic: The project will generate new traffic. According to the traffic study prepared for the project, it will generate approximately 478 daily trips with 44 trips during the morning peak hour and 49 trips during the afternoon peak hour. Eventual development of the commercial pads would likely generate significantly more traffic, depending on what is actually built (e.g. fast food restaurant, offices, etc.).

The multi-family project will have two connections to Farmersville Boulevard - the central access drive and a secondary lane situated along the north side of the site. Because of the recently- - installed landscaped median on Farmersville Boulevard, vehicles will be restricted to making only right turns into the site and right turns out of the site.

In addition, the project location is expected to enable residents to make some trips by walking or by bicycle - to nearby stores, restaurants, schools and parks - thereby potentially reducing vehicle traffic.

The traffic impact study did identify several mitigation measures that should be required to offset the proiect's impacts on local streets. These include:

1. A fair share contribution of 1.1% toward future signalization of the intersection of Farmersville Boulevard and Front Street
•2. Reconstruction of three of the pedestrian curb ramps at the corner of Farmersville Boulevard and Walnut Avenue. The identificiation of these mitigations came about as a result of the study's analysis using the new "vehicle miles traveled" metric now required by State law. Installation of the curb ramps will help to improve the feasibility of walking.

Planning Commission Hearing
The Farmersville Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the project on December 13, 2023. Two property owners from immediately east of the site (across the City/County boundary) spoke in opposition to the project. Their concerns were general in nature, 4 including the City growing before "fixing" existing neighborhoods, of apartments being built at this location, the potential occupants of the apartments, and potential for noise and traffic.

Staff responded that consideration has been given to the site plan to minimize potential impacts to neighboring properties. The (two story) buildings have been shifted away from the property lines so that residents will not be overlooking into adjacent properties. Further trees will be planted along the property line to provide screening. Light fixtures will be hooded and adjusted to reduce night time lighting impacts. Finally the perimeter of the site will feature a 7-foot high block wall - to reduce noise and provide visual buffering.

In addition, it was noted that were the site to remain zoned for commercial development, it is possible that any resulting project (such as a shopping center) would be designed so that service areas (behind the buildings) would be situated immediately up against the property line, resulting in the potential for noise, lighting, and odors, as delivery trucks come and go and trash is thrown into dumpsters, etc. From this perspective, the proposed multi-family project should have reduced impacts on neighboring properties.

Following discussion the Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project.

COORDINATION & REVIEW:

As required by law, a public hearing notice was published in the Exeter Sun Gazette newspaper and notices were mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the site, at least 10 days before the City Council's hearing.

CONSISTENCY WITH ADOPTED GOALS, PLANS, AND PROGRAMS:

The proposed project is consistent with city policies and standards, including the 2025 Farmersville General Plan, Farmersville Zoning Ordinance, Farmersville Subdivision Ordinance and Farmersville Improvement Standards Manual.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Each unit that is developed on the site will be required to pay the City's Development Impact Fees. Further, once developed, each unit will pay monthly utility charges. These fees/charges will also apply to future commercial development on the site.

CONCLUSION:

The project has been reviewed by City department heads, including planning, engineering, public aple to the preet alatis therefore recommending aproval or ne preca a is the Planing Attachments:

MM AIR-1:

Before a construction permit is issued for the proposed Project, the Project applicant, Project sponsor, or construction contractor shall submit documentation demonstrating reasonably detailed compliance with one of the following requirements to the City of Option I) Where portable diesel engines are used during construction, all off-roac quipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower shall have engines that meet or exceed either United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 4 Interim off-road emission standards except as otherwise specified herein. If engines that comply with Tier 4 Interim or Tier 4 Final off-road emission standards are not commercially available, then the construction contractor shall use the next cleanest piece of off-road equipment (e.g., Tier 3) that is commercially available. For purposes of this Project design feature, "commercially available* shall mean the equipment at issue is available taking into consideration factors such as (i) critical-path timing of construction; and (ii) geographic proximity to the Project site of equipment. If the relevant equipment is determined by the Project applicant to not be commercially available, the contractor can confirm this conclusion by providing letters from at least two rental companies for each piece of off-road equipment that is at issue.

Option 2) Prior to the issuance of any demolition, grading, or building permits (whichever occurs earliest), the project applicant and/or construction contractor shall prepare a construction operations plan that, during construction activities; requires all off-road equipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower to meet either the particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 4 Interim engines or be equipped with Level 3 diesel particulate filters. Tier 4 Interim engines shall, at a minimum, meet EPA or CARB particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 4 Interim engines.

Alternatively, use of CARB-certified Level 3 diesél particulate filters on off-road equipment with engines greater than 50 horsepower can be used in lieu of Tier 4 Interim engines or in combination with Tier 4 Interim or better engines. The construction contractor shall maintain records documenting its efforts to comply with this requirement, including equipment lists. Off-road equipment descriptions and information shall include, but are not limited to, equipment type, equipment manufacturer, equipment identification number, engine model year, engine certification (Tier rating), horsepower, and engine serial number. The Project applicant and/or construction contractor shall submit the construction operations plan and records of compliance to the City of Farmersville.

Environmental Finding for Gardenia Courtyards Project
BIO-1: Protect nesting birds.

1. To the extent practicable, construction shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting season, which extends from February through August.

2. If it is not possible to schedule construction between September and January, pre- construction surveys for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that no active nests will be disturbed during the implementation of the Project. A pre-construction survey shall be conducted no more than 14 days prior to the initiation of construction activities. During this survey, the qualified biologist shall inspect all potential nest substrates in and immediately adjacent to the impact areas. If an active nest is found close enough to the construction area to be disturbed by these activities, the qualified biologist shall determine the extent of a construction-free buffer to be established around the nest. If work cannot proceed without disturbing the nesting birds, work may need to be halted or redirected to other areas until nesting and fledging are completed or the nest has otherwise failed for non-construction related reasons.

CUL-1: The following measures shall be implemented:
• Before initiation of construction or ground-disturbing activities associated with the Project, the City shall require all construction personnel to be alerted to the possibility. of buried cultural resources, including historic, archeological and paleontological resources;
• The general contractor and its supervisory staff shall be responsible for monitoring the construction Project for disturbance of cultural resources; and • If a potentially significant historical, archaeological, or paleontological resource, such as structural features, unusual amounts of bone or shell, artifacts, human remains, or architectural remains or trash deposits are encountered during subsurface construction activities (i.e., trenching, grading), all construction activities within a 100-foot radius of the identified potential resource shall cease until a qualified archaeologist evaluates the item for its significance and records the item on the appropriate State Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms. The archaeologist shall determine whether the item requires further study.

If, after the qualified archaeologist conducts appropriate technical analyses, the item is determined to be significant under California Environmental Quality Act, the archaeologist shall recommend feasible mitigation measures, which may include avoidance, preservation in place or other appropriate measure, as outlined -4-

CITY OF

FARMERSVILLE
City Council
Staff Report 8D
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Lisa Wallis-Dutra, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: January 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Crosswalk Improvement Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council review and discuss the safety analysis and recommendations for the following four existing pedestrian crossings: 1) North crossing of Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street, 2) East side crossing of Ash Street at Hester Avenue, 3) East side crossing of Ash Street at Steven Avenue, and 4) Midblock crossing on Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School (between Front Street and Ash Street).

BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:

Each existing crosswalk location was analyzed to recommend pedestrian safety improvements.

Recommendations are based on current best practices and guidelines of Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration.

Existing weekday traffic volume counts (including vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycles) were taken at the studied locations by Metro Traffic Data, Inc. on Thursday, November 2, 2023, for a 24- hour period. Crash records for a seven-year period from 2016 to 2022 were also obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and analyzed. In addition to the traffic data collected, 4Creeks conducted a field investigation at the studied locations on December 19, 2023. Geometric conditions and operational characteristics were observed and noted to recommend potential safety improvements for each location.

A summary of existing conditions and the recommended pedestrian safety improvements for each crosswalk location are noted below. More detailed information can be found in the attached report
Intersection 1 - North crossing of Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street This intersection is currently a multi-way stop, four-legged intersection. Farmersville Boulevard is an arterial and has two-lanes in each direction with parking on both sides of the street and a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Costner Street is a local roadway and an offset intersection that does not align straight across Farmersville Boulevard.

The traffic data indicates a total of 9,693 vehicles on Farmersville Boulevard and a total of 44 bicyclists and 174 pedestrians per day at this location. The morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM and 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM, respectively. During the AM peak hour, there were no bicyclists and seven pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk location. During the PM peak hour, there were no bicyclists or pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk location.

Three crashes occurred during the seven-year study period at this intersection: one in 2016, 2019, and 2020. The 2020 crash involved a pedestrian; however, it was a property damage only crash and pedestrian right of way was noted as the primary crash factor.

The City, recently completed a pavement rehabilitation project which eliminated the crosswalk and there are no existing pedestrian crossing signs. Based on the low pedestrian crossing volumes, crash history, and offset intersection geometrics, it is recommended that the crosswalk not be reinstalled. However, it should be noted that per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), "Notification to the public shall be given at least 30 days prior to the scheduled removal of an existing marked crosswalk. The notice of proposed removal shall inform the public how to provide input related to the scheduled removal and shall be posted at the crosswalk identified for removal. Refer to CVC 21950.5." • Although a marked crosswalk is not recommended at this location, any pedestrians that may cross would still be crossing in what is considered an unmarked crosswalk. Therefore, it is recommended that the City repair and upgrade the streetlighting and reconstruct the corner returns/ramps to meet current ADA standards.

Intersection 2 - East side crossing of Ash Street at Hester Avenue This intersection is currently a T-intersection with a stop sign on Hester Avenue. Ash Street and Hester Avenue are both local streets with one lane in each direction and parking on both sides of the street. J.E. Hester Elementary is located at the southwest corner of the intersection.

The traffic data indicates a total of 1,447 vehicles on Ash Street and a total of 25 bicyclists and 34 pedestrians per day at this location. The morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to . 8:15 AM and 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, respectively. During both the AM and PM peak hours, there were no bicyclists or pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk across the east leg of Ash Street, and overall, there were more pedestrians crossing the west leg of Ash Street. There were no crashes reported at this location during the seven-year study period.

Due to the higher demand for crossing on the west leg of the intersection, and the west leg of the intersection also being the boundary of the elementary school, it is recommended that the school crossing be relocated there. By relocating the crossing, pedestrians will be required to cross only one roadway to get to the elementary school from the north side of Ash Street.

The installation should include higher-visibility crosswalk markings, upgraded school crossing signs, adequate nighttime lighting levels, and parking restrictions on the crosswalk approaches.

It is also recommended that the existing curb ramps be reconstructed to be ADA-compliant, and a new ADA-compliant curb ramp be constructed on the north side of Ash Street. As this is an uncontrolled school crossing, it is also recommended the crossing be a pedestrian activated, solar-powered Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) type crossing.

Intersection 3 - East side crossing of Ash Street at Steven Avenue This intersection is currently a T-intersection with a stop sign on Steven Avenue. Ash Street and Steven Avenue are both local streets with one lane in each direction and parking on both sides of the street. Farmersville Junior High is located on the north side of the intersection.

The traffic data indicates a total of 1,200 vehicles on Ash Street and a total of 10 bicyclists and 208 pedestrians per day at this location. The morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM and 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM, respectively. During the AM peak hour, there were no bicyclists and 10 pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk across the east leg of Ash Street.

During the PM peak hour, there were no bicyclists and nine pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk.

Two crashes occurred during the seven-year study period at this intersection: one in 2021 and one in 2022. Both were property damage only crashes and neither involved a bicyclist or pedestrian.

Although the data shows the crossing demand was higher on the west leg of the intersection, there is an existing drive approach and gate entrance to the ball fields at the school on the west side of the intersection. Therefore, the existing crosswalk on the east leg is recommended to remain. The existing school crosswalk is a higher-visibility crosswalk with compliant school crossing signs, and there is an existing streetlight on the southeast corner. However, visibility may be restricted due to parked vehicles on Ash Street. Therefore, it is recommended that parking be restricted on the approaches to the crosswalk to allow for the appropriate visibility of pedestrians. Existing curb ramps should be reconstructed to be ADA-compliant, and a new ADA-compliant curb ramp should be constructed for the crosswalk on the north side of Ash Street. It is also recommended a pedestrian activated, solar-powered RRFB be installed to enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at this location.

The City has a street improvement project planned for the area this next year. Any proposed improvements, including curb ramps; RRFBs, signing, and striping, can be incorporated into this street improvement project.

Intersection 4 - Midblock crossing on Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School The crosswalk on Virginia Avenue is located at the entrance driveway to Farmersville Junior High School. Virginia Avenue is a local roadway with one lane in each direction, parking on both sides of the street, and a 25-mph speed limit. Farmersville Junior High is on the east side of the crosswalk.

The traffic data indicates a total of 956 vehicles on Ash Street and a total of four bicyclists and 59 pedestrians per day at this location. The morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM and 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, respectively. During the AM peak hour, there were no bicyclists and 12 pedestrians crossing the existing crosswalk across Virginia Avenue. Seven pedestrians crossed outside of the existing crosswalk north of the existing driveway. During the PM peak hour, there were no bicyclists and three pedestrians crossing at the existing crosswalk.

In addition, one pedestrian crossed outside of the existing crosswalk north of the existing driveway during the PM peak hour.
• One crash occurred during the seven-year study period in 2016 at this intersection. It was a property damage only crash and did not involve a bicyclist or pedestrian.

Given the low pedestrian crossing volumes, as well as this being a residential area with a 25- . mph speed limit, low ADT, and no pedestrian crash history, there does not appear to be a need for a school crossing at this location. It is recommended the existing school crosswalk be removed, including the associated school crossing signs. Again, like Location 1 noted above, removal of a crosswalk requires notification to the public of at least 30 days prior to the scheduled removal.

It appears that some of the pedestrians crossing are due to school drop-offs on the west side of Virginia Avenue and students crossing the street. However, the school appears to have a drop- oft zone on-site. It is recommended the City coordinates with the school to educate parents about appropriate drop-off procedures to reduce the number of pedestrians crossing during peak hours.

If the City wishes for the crosswalk to remain, an appropriate location should be determined once drop-off procedures are discussed with the school. The appropriate location will require ADA-compliant curb ramps on both sides of the street, parking restrictions on the crosswalk approaches, and adequate nighttime lighting levels. As this is a residential area, it is likely that at least one residence would lose parking along their frontage to provide the curb ramp and necessary parking restrictions for visibility. The existing signing and striping shall also be upgraded to current CA MUTCD standards.

The City has a street improvement project planned for the area this next year. Should the City wish for the crosswalk to remain, any proposed improvements, including curb ramps, signing, and striping, can be incorporated into this street improvement project.

Crosswalk Improvement Study
Introduction
This report has been prepared to present the results of a crosswalk improvement study conducted by 4Creeks for the existing crosswalks at the following four locations:
• Location 1- North crossing of Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street • Location 2 - East side crossing of Ash Street at Hester Avenue • Location 3 - East side crossing of Ash Street at Steven Avenue • Location 4 - Midblock crossing on Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School (between Front Street and Ash Street)
Each location was analyzed to recommend pedestrian safety improvements. The analyses for each location may have considered, but not be limited to, the number of lanes, distance of crossing from adjacent signalized intersections, pedestrian volumes and delays, average daily traffic (ADT), posted speed limit, geometry of the location, availability of streetlighting, possible crosswalk removal and/or relocation, and stopping sight distances.

Existing Conditions
Location 1 - Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street
The studied intersection is currently a multi-way stop, four-legged intersection. Farmersville Boulevard is a north-south arterial and is one of the City's commercial main streets. Near the studied intersection, there are two lanes in each direction with parking on both sides of the street and a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Farmersville Boulevard is also a designated truck route and bike route per the City's General Plan. Costner Street is a local roadway with parking on both sides of the street. Costner Street is an offset intersection and does not align straight across Farmersville Boulevard. The studied intersection is in the central commercial zoning.

Until recently, there was an existing crosswalk on the north side of the intersection crossing Farmersville Boulevard. Because Costner Street is an offset intersection the crosswalk was not straight and bent in the center. However, the City recently completed a pavement rehabilitation project which eliminated the crosswalk, at least temporarily. There are also no existing crosswalk warning signs or pavement markings. There are existing curb ramps on the northwest, northeast, and southeast corners; however, none meet current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Although there is no streetlighting on the northwest or northeast corners at the crosswalk location, there are existing streetlights on the southeast and southwest corners. Neither existing streetlight was operational during an evening site visit although adjacent streetlights north and south of the location were. www.4-creeks.com
Location 2 - Ash Street at Hester Avenue
The studied intersection is currently a T-intersection with a stop sign on Hester Avenue. Ash Street and Hester Avenue are both local streets with one lane in each direction and parking on both sides of the street. The studied intersection is located primarily in residential zoning; however, J.E. Hester Elementary School is located at the southwest corner of the intersection and Farmersville Community Center and Armstrong Park are to the west of the intersection.

Until recently, there was an existing school crosswalk on the east leg of the intersection crossing Ash Street. However, the City recently completed a pavement rehabilitation project which eliminated the crosswalk, at least temporarily. The existing school crossing warning signs are non-standard. There are existing curb ramps on the southwest and southeast corners, but no curb ramp for the crosswalk on the north side of Ash Street. None of the existing curb ramps are ADA-compliant. There is one existing streetlight at the southeast corner.

Location 3 - Ash Street at Steven Avenue
The studied intersection is currently a T-intersection with a stop sign on Steven Avenue. Ash Street and Steven Avenue are both local streets with one lane in each direction and parking on both sides of the street. The studied intersection is located primarily in residential zoning; however, Farmersville Junior High School is located on the north side of the intersection.

The existing crosswalk is a higher-visibility, ladder type school crosswalk on the east leg of the intersection crossing Ash Street. There are existing curb ramps on the southwest and southeast corners of the intersection, but no curb ramp for the crosswalk on the north side of Ash Street. None of the existing curb ramps are ADA-compliant. There is one existing streetlight at the southeast corner.

Location 4 - Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School The crosswalk on Virginia Avenue is located at the entrance driveway to Farmersville Junior High School. Virginia Avenue is a local roadway with one lane in each direction, parking on both sides of the street, and a 25-mph speed limit. The location is primarily in residential zoning; however, Farmersville Junior High is on the east side of the crosswalk.

There are no advanced warning school crossing signs are pavement markings and the school crossing signs are non-standard. There are no curb ramps on either side of the crosswalk; however, there is one streetlight on the west side of Virginia Avenue.

Data Collection
Existing weekday traffic volume counts (including vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycles) were taken at the studied locations by Metro Traffic Data, Inc. on Thursday, November 2, 2023, for a 24-hour period. Metro Traffic Data also conducted delay analyses at each location to www.4-creeks.com
3 determine the average and maximum pedestrian crossing delay; the average and maximum pedestrian crossing times; and the average, maximum, and total vehicle delay for each location. The collected traffic data for each location can be found in Attachment A.

In addition to the traffic data collected, 4Creeks conducted a field investigation at the studied locations on December 19, 2023. Geometric conditions and operational characteristics were observed and noted to recommend potential safety improvements for each location.

Location 1 - Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street
The traffic data indicates a total of 4,736 northbound and 4,957 southbound vehicles per day for a total of 9,693 vehicles on Farmersville Boulevard at this location. The traffic data also indicates the morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM and 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM, respectively.

Crash History
The crash records for the studied locations were obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for a seven-year period from 2016 through 2022. During this time, there were a total of six crashes at the four studied locations.

Three crashes occurred at the Farmersville Boulevard/Costner Street intersection: one in 2016, 2019, and 2020. Two crashes occurred at the Ash Street/Steven Avenue intersection: one in 2021 and one in 2022. And one crash occurred near the Virginia Avenue location in 2016. All these crashes were property damage only crashes. None of the crashes involved a bicyclist; however, the crash at the Farmersville Boulevard/Costner Street intersection in 2020 involved a pedestrian. It should be noted that pedestrian right of way was the primary crash factor recorded for the crash involving a pedestrian at Farmersville Boulevard and Costner Street.

Related crash data is included in Attachment B.

5 Crosswalk Installation
Per the California Vehicle Code, a crosswalk is either:
a. That portion of a roadway included within the prolongation or connection of the boundary lines of sidewalks at intersections where the intersecting roadways meet at approximately right angles, except the prolongation of such lines from an alley across a street.
b. Any portion of a roadway distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface.

Therefore, crosswalks can be marked or unmarked at intersections and may be marked at other locations such as midblock. Crosswalks may also be controlled with a stop sign or traffic signal or may be uncontrolled.

A well-marked crosswalk not only helps direct pedestrians to a designated crossing location, but it also helps provide drivers with an expected location where pedestrians may cross the roadway. However, marked crosswalks may also create a "false sense of security" for pedestrians. And if used indiscriminately, may result in a greater number of pedestrian collisions. Per the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), "Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. An engineering study should be performed before a marked crosswalk is installed at a location away from a traffic control signal or an approach controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign."
Methodology
Until recently, there were only a few California cities that had a crosswalk installation policy.

The cities of Manteca, Menlo Park, Pasadena, Sacramento, and Stockton have all adopted formal policies. However, as more federal research on the subject has been conducted, more cities are beginning to establish crosswalk installation guidelines. Most of the policies are based on a comprehensive report conducted in 2002 by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on the safety effects of marked versus unmarked crosswalks at uncontrolled locations.

In 2018, FHWA followed up this report with a guide for improving pedestrian safety at uncontrolled crossing locations. This study uses a combination of the 2002 and 2018 FHWA reports to determine if the four studied locations are appropriate candidate sites for marked crosswalks, and if so, to determine appropriate countermeasures for the location.

Table 1 summarizes the recommendations for considering marked crosswalks and other needed pedestrian improvements at uncontrolled locations based on the findings of the 2002 FHWA study. If it is determined a marked crosswalk is appropriate for a candidate location, Table 2 can then be used to further determine appropriate countermeasures to apply at the uncontrolled crossing location.

They do not apply to school crossings. A two-way center turn lane. is not considered a median. Crosswalks should not be installed at locations that could present an increased safety risk to pedestrians, such as where there is poor sight distance, complex or confusing designs, a substantial volume of heavy trucks, or other dangers, without first providing adequate design features and/or traffic control devices. Adding crosswalks alone will not make crossings safer, nor will they necessarily result in more vehicles stopping for pedestrians. Whether or not marked crosswalks are installed, it is important to consider other pedestrian facility enhancements (e.g, raised median, traffic signal, roadway narrowing, enhanced overhead lighting, traffic-calming measures, curb extensions), as needed, to improve the safety of the crossing. These are general recommendations; good engineering judgment should be used in individual cases for deciding where to install crosswalks. **Where the speed limit exceeds 40 miles per hour, marked crosswalks alone should not be used at unsignalized locations.
***The raised median or crossing island must be at least 4 feet wide and 6 feet long to serve adequately as a refuge - area for pedestrians, in accordance with MUTCD and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines.

C = Candidate sites for marked crosswalks. Marked crosswalks must be installed carefully and selectively. Before installing new marked crosswalks, an engineering study is needed to determine whether the location is suitable for a marked crosswalk. For an engineering study, a site review may be sufficient at some locations, while a more in-depth study of pedestrian volume, vehicle speed, sight distance, vehicle mix, and other factors may be needed at other sites. It is recommended that a minimum utilization of 20 pedestrian crossings per peak hour (or 15 or more elderly and/or child pedestrians) be confirmed at a location before placing a high priority on the installation of a marked crosswalk alone.

P = Possible increase in pedestrian crash risk may occur if crosswalks are added without other pedestrian facility enhancements. These locations should be closely. monitored and enhanced with other pedestrian crossing improvements, if necessary, before adding a marked crosswalk.

N= Marked crosswalks alone are insufficient since pedestrian crash risk may be increased by providing marked crosswalks alone. Consider using other treatments, such as traffic-calming treatments, traffic signals with pedestrian signals where warranted, or other substantial crossing improvements to improve crossing safety for pedestrians.

8 It is important to note that Table 1 does not apply to school crossings as the research conducted did not include them. Based on the research, the following are best practices for considering the installation of crosswalks.

Crosswalks at Uncontrolled Intersections
Crosswalks at uncontrolled intersections may be marked when:
• The location is on a direct route to or from a pedestrian generator, such as a school, park, hospital, transit stop, or trail; or
• Need is demonstrated by 20 pedestrians crossing per peak hour or 60 pedestrians total crossing in four hours (not necessarily consecutive); and • The location is a minimum of 300 feet from a controlled crossing location; and • The location has sufficient sight distance or will have prior to crosswalk installation (sight distance in feet should be greater than 10 times the speed limit in mph: e.g, sight distance for 25 mph is 250 feet); and
• Based on engineering judgement, other safety considerations do not preclude a crosswalk.

Crosswalks at Midblock Locations
Midblock crossings may be marked when:
• A pedestrian generator is less than 300 feet away between traffic signal or stop- controlled intersections, or there are significant pedestrian generators on both sides of the street; or
• Need is demonstrated by 40 pedestrians crossing during a peak hour or 25 pedestrians crossing per hour for four consecutive hours; and
• The location is a minimum 300 feet from another crossing location; and • The location has sufficient sight distance or will have prior to crosswalk installation (sight distance in feet should be greater than 10 times the speed limit in mph: e.g, sight distance for 25 mph is 250 feet); and
Based on engineering judgement, other safety considerations do not preclude a crosswalk.

Results and Conclusions
Based on the methodology and criteria noted above, the following are the results determined for each studied location.

Location 1 - Farmersville Boulevard at Costner Street
Farmersville Boulevard is a multilane roadway without medians, has an ADT of 9,693, and a posted speed limit of 35 mph. There were only seven pedestrians crossing the south leg and 14 pedestrians crossing the north leg of Farmersville Boulevard, respectively, in the 24-hour period data was collected. Although this location meets the ADT and roadway characteristics for a candidate location, it does not demonstrate the need based on the pedestrian volumes.

It also is not in a location on a direct route to or from a pedestrian generator.

The City recently completed a pavement rehabilitation project which eliminated the crosswalk and there are no existing pedestrian crossing signs. Based on the low pedestrian crossing volumes, crash history, and offset intersection geometrics, it is recommended that the crosswalk not be reinstalled. However, it should be noted that per the CA MUTCD, "Notification to the public shall be given at least 30 days prior to the scheduled removal of an existing marked crosswalk. The notice of proposed removal shall inform the public how to provide input related to the scheduled removal and shall be posted at the crosswalk identified for removal. Refer to CVC 21950.5."
Although a marked crosswalk is not recommended at this location, any pedestrians that may cross would still be crossing in what is considered an unmarked crosswalk. Therefore, it is recommended that the City repair and upgrade the streetlighting and reconstruct the corner returns/ramps to meet current ADA standards.

Location 2 - Ash Street at Hester Avenue
Ash Street near Hester Avenue is a two-lane roadway and has an ADT of 1,447. It is a school crossing, so Table 1 does not apply. However, the City can still review the need for a crossing at this location based on the number of pedestrians crossing. There were only two pedestrians crossing the east leg of the intersection where the existing crosswalk was in the 24-hour period data was collected, and none were in the AM or PM peak hours. And there were eight pedestrians crossing the west leg of the intersection in the 24-hour period data was collected:
one was in the AM peak hour, and none were in the PM peak hour.

Due to the higher demand for crossing on the west leg of the intersection, and the west leg of the intersection also being the boundary of the elementary school, it is recommended that the school crossing be relocated there. By relocating the crossing, pedestrians will be required to cross only one roadway to get to the elementary school from the north side of Ash Street. The installation should include higher-visibility crosswalk markings, upgraded school crossing signs, adequate nighttime lighting levels, and parking restrictions on the crosswalk www.4-creeks.com
10 approaches. It is also recommended that the existing curb ramps be reconstructed to be ADA-compliant, and a new ADA-compliant curb ramp be constructed on the north side of Ash Street.

As this is an uncontrolled school crossing, it is also recommended a solar-powered, Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) be installed. RRFBs are a light-emitting diode (LED)-array based light source. They are two, rectangular shaped indications installed to accompany the school crossing warning signs. They are activated by the pedestrian and flash with an alternating high frequency to enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at uncontrolled, marked crosswalks.

Location 3 - Ash Street at Steven Avenue
Ash Street near Steven Avenue is a two-lane roadway and has an ADT of 1,200. It is a school crossing, so Table 1 does not apply. However, the City can still review the need for a crossing at this location based on the number of pedestrians crossing. There were 46 pedestrians crossing the east leg of the intersection in the 24-hour period data was collected of which 10 were in the AM peak hour and nine were in the PM peak hour. There were 67 pedestrians crossing the west leg of the intersection in the 24-hour period data was collected of which 10 were in the AM peak hour and 13 were in the PM peak hour.

Although the crossing demand was higher on the west leg of the intersection, there is an existing drive approach and gate entrance to the ball fields at the school on the west side of the intersection. For these reasons, the existing crosswalk on the east leg is recommended to remain. The existing school crosswalk is a higher-visibility crosswalk with compliant school crossing signs, and there is an existing streetlight on the southeast corner. However, visibility may be restricted due to parked vehicles on Ash Street. Therefore, it is recommended that parking be restricted on the approaches to the crosswalk to allow for the appropriate visibility of pedestrians. It is also recommended that the existing curb ramps be reconstructed to be ADA-compliant, and a new ADA-compliant curb ramp be constructed'for the crosswalk on the north side of Ash Street. Like Location 2, it is also recommended a solar-powered RRFB be installed here to enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at this uncontrolled, marked crosswalk.

It is our understanding that the City has a street improvement project planned for the area this next year. Any proposed improvements, including curb ramps, RRFBs, signing, and striping, can be incorporated into the street improvement project.

Location 4 - Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School Virginia Avenue at Farmersville Junior High School is a two-lane roadway, has an ADT of 958, and a 25-mph speed limit. It is a school crossing, so Table 1 does not apply. However, the City can still review the need for a crossing at this location based on the number of pedestrians crossing. There were 26 pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk in the 24-hour period data was collected of which 12 were in the AM peak hour and three were in the PM peak hour. Also, within the 24-hour period, there were 12 pedestrians that crossed north of the crosswalk on the other side of the school driveway entrance: seven in the AM peak hour and one in the PM peak hour.

As indicated in the best practices noted earlier, midblock crossings typically require a higher demand to consider installation. Given the low pedestrian crossing volumes, as well as this being a residential area with a 25-mph speed limit, low ADT, and no pedestrian crash history, there does not appear to be a need for a school crossing at this location. It is recommended the existing school crosswalk be removed, including the associated school crossing signs.

Again, like Location 1 noted above, removal of a crosswalk requires notification to the public of at least 30 days prior to the scheduled removal.

It appears that some of the pedestrians crossing are due to school drop-offs on the west side of Virginia Avenue and students crossing the street. However, the school appears to have a drop-off zone on-site. It is recommended the City coordinates with the school to educate parents about appropriate drop-off procedures to reduce the number of pedestrians crossing during peak hours.

If the City wishes for the crosswalk to remain, an appropriate location should be determined once drop-off procedures are discussed with the school. The appropriate location will require ADA-compliant curb ramps on both sides of the street, parking restrictions on the crosswalk approaches, and adequate nighttime lighting levels. As this is a residential area, it is likely that at least one residence would lose parking along their frontage to provide the curb ramp and necessary parking restrictions for visibility. The existing signing and striping shall also be upgraded to current CA MUTCD standards.

CITY OF

FARMERSVILLE
City Council
Staff Report 8E
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Lisa Wallis-Dutra, Assistant City Engineer
DATE: January 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Farmersville Safety Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

That the City Council review and discuss the intersection analysis and recommendations for the intersection of Farmersville Boulevard and Ash Street and the intersection of Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue.

BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:

The following two intersections were analyzed to recommend safety improvements:

Intersection 1: Farmersville Boulevard and Ash Street
Intersection 2: Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue
A multi-way stop warrant analysis was also completed for Intersection 2 (Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue). Recommendations are based on current best practices and guidelines of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD).

Existing weekday traffic volume counts (including vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycles) were taken at Intersection 2 by Metro Traffic Data, Inc. on Thursday, November 16, 2023, for a 24-hour period. Metro Traffic Data also conducted a speed survey on Petunia Street on the same day Crash records for a five-year period from 2018 to 2022 were also obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and analyzed. In addition to the traffic data collected, 4Creeks conducted field investigations at the studied locations on December 19, 2023, and December 30, 2023. Geometric conditions and operational characteristics were observed and noted to recommend potential safety improvements for each location.

A summary of existing conditions and the recommended safety improvements for each intersection are noted below. More detailed information can be found in the attached report Intersection 1 - Farmersville Boulevard and Ash Street
Field reviews of the intersection were conducted on December 19, 2023, and December 30, 2023. The intersection is four-way stop controlled with marked crosswalks in all directions.

Although there are existing curb ramps on all corners, none meet current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). There are existing streetlights on the northeast and southwest corners of the intersections; however, they are too close to large, mature trees and do not provide adequate lighting.

There is existing advanced warning STOP AHEAD signs with flashing beacons on Farmersville Boulevard and an additional STOP AHEAD warning sign in advance of those. STOP AHEAD pavement markings are located adjacent to the STOP AHEAD warning signs furthest from the intersection. During both field visits, a food truck was parked in front of the advanced STOP AHEAD sign with the flashing beacon for northbound traffic although not completely blocking it.

It was also noted that the existing centerline striping for Ash Street does not meet current standards of the CA MUTCD.

Additionally, the five-year crash data was analyzed and there were 12 crashes during the study period. Of the 12 crashes, two crashes resulted in an injury while the remaining resulted in property damage only. Five were classified as broadside crashes, three were rear-end crashes, and there was one each classified as a sideswipe, head-on, other, and unknown type crash. Of the 12 crashes, the primary crash factor in four of them were due to stop sign/signal, three were related to automobile right of way, two were unknown, and there was one each due to unsafe speed, improper turning, and following too closely. Given the crash types and primary crash factors, it is recommended that measures to increase the visibility and awareness of the multi- way stop be considered.

It should be noted that the City's Downtown Specific Plan outlines several key issues related to this intersection. It indicates Farmersville Boulevard is considered too wide to function as a ! pedestrian-friendly street that is more common in downtown districts. The plan recommends improvements that could include a "road diet" to change the roadway cross-section from four- lanes to two-lanes with bicycle lanes and a landscaped median. Other recommended improvements include wider sidewalks, diagonal on-street parking, parkways with trees for traffic calming, and improved streetlighting.

Understanding the City plans significant infrastructure improvements in the future, to improve intersection visibility in the meartime, we recommend the City:
• Refresh striping in the intersection area, including STOP pavement markings for all approaches and STOP AHEAD pavement markings for Farmersville Boulevard. • Revise Ash Street centerlines to dual striping per CA MUTCD requirements. • Continue to evaluate intersection stop signs to ensure compliance with reflectivity requirements.
• 'Locate advanced warning signs and pavement markings per CA MUTCD guidelines. • Remove the additional advanced warning signs furthest from the intersection. • Utilize the largest size STOP and STOP AHEAD signs for all approaches. • Install dual STOP signs for Farmersville Boulevard approaches. • Continue to trim trees around the intersection to avoid obstructing stop signs or streetlighting.
• Notify food truck vendor regarding need to relocate due to blocking of traffic sign.

Intersection 2 - Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue
Per the CA MUTCD, the following criteria should be considered for a multi-way stop installation:

A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multi-way stop is an interim measure.

B. Five.or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation.

C. Minimum volumes:

1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and

2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but

3. If the 85"-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2.

D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.1, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition.

There are also four optional warrants that the CA MUTCD outlines when the above warrants are not met that can be used if justified in conjunction with engineering judgement. These are related to left-turn conflicts, vehicle/pedestrian conflicts, visibility, and residential collector street categorization.

The average volume entering the intersection from Petunia Street was 91 and the average combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering from Ventura Avenue was 50. The average delay during the AM and PM peak hours for the southbound approach was three seconds and four seconds, respectively. Petunia Street also has an approach speed of 35 mph.

There were no crashes within a 12-month period based on the SWITRS data, and only one crash was reported for inclusion in this report.

The result of the multi-way stop warrant analysis for the Petunia Street/Ventura Avenue intersection indicates a multi-way stop is not warranted based on the criteria set by the CA MUTCD. Although corner sight distance evaluations show visibility could be a concern, crash history does not show it to be an issue and the corner properties currently comply with the City's ordinance for corner sight clearance. It is our recommendation to continue to monitor vegetation on the northeast corner that could potentially block visibility of approaching traffic during certain seasons if allowed to become overgrown.

Intersection Safety Study
Overview
The City of Farmersville has requested Creeks to provide recommendations on intersection safety improvements for two locations in Farmersville:
• Intersection 1: Farmersville Boulevard & Ash Street
• Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
A multi-way stop warrant analysis was also requested for Intersection 2 (Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue), and the evaluation will be based on criteria included in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTC), including a review of crash history, traffic volumes, intersection geometrics, and existing traffic conditions.

Additionally, a field review and analysis on each intersection will be provided with a summary of recommended safety improvements that consider geometry, posted speed limits, lighting levels, signing, pavement markings, and other factors.

Existing weekday traffic volume counts (including vehicle, truck, pedestrian, and bicycles) were taken at Intersection 2 by Metro Traffic Data, Inc. on Thursday, November 16, 2023, for a 24-hour period. Metro Traffic Data also conducted a speed survey on Petunia Street on the same day.

The collected traffic data, including count data and speed survey, are used for the multi-way stop warrant analysis and can be found in Attachment A.

In addition to the traffic data collected, 4Creeks conducted a field investigation at both studied intersections on December 19, 2023. Geometric conditions and operational characteristics were observed and noted to recommend potential safety improvements for each location.

Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
The traffic data indicates a total of 1,814 vehicles per day at the studied intersection. The morning and afternoon peak hours are 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM and 5:15 PM to 6:15 PM with 175 and 178 total vehicles entering the intersection each hour, respectively. There was a total of 27 trucks per day at the studied intersection, 18 of which were traveling on Petunia Street.

The traffic data indicates a total of seven bicyclists and 16 pedestrians per day entering the studied intersection. There were two bicyclists and three pedestrians in the AM peak hour.

There was one bicyclist and no pedestrians in the PM peak hour.

The speed survey indicates the 85t-percentile speed (the speed at or below which 85 percent of drivers are traveling on a roadway segment) on Petunia Street is 35 mph while the average speed is 29 mph. The posted speed limit on Petunia Street is 35 mph. www.4-creeks.com
Crash History
The crash records for the two intersections were obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for a five-year period from 2018 through 2022. Related crash data is included in Attachment B.

Intersection 1: Farmersville Boulevard & Ash Street
During the period of 2018 to 2022, there were a total of 12 crashes: two in 2018, three in 2019, two in 2020, three in 2021, and two in 2022. There were no fatalities; however, two crashes were injury crashes: one in 2018 and one in 2021. All other crashes incurred property damage only.

None involved a bicyclist or pedestrian.

Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
There were no crashes at this intersection during the five-year studied period. However, a recent crash that occurred in 2023 was reported to us for inclusion in this report. The crash occurred because an eastbound motorist on Petunia Street tried to make a passing maneuver around another eastbound vehicle who was making a left turn onto Ventura Avenue. No injuries were sustained.

Multi-Way Stop Warrant Methodology
Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
Per the CA MUTCD, Section 2B.07, Multi-Way Stop Applications, the following criteria should be considered in the engineering study for a multi-way stop sign installation:

A. Where traffic control signals are justified, the multi-way stop is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the installation of the traffic control signal.

B. Five or more reported crashes in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such crashes include right-turn and left- turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions.

C. Minimum volumes:

1. The vehicular volume entering the intersection from the major street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 300 vehicles per hour for any 8 hours of an average day; and

2. The combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering the intersection from the minor street approaches (total of both approaches) averages at least 200 units per hour for the same 8 hours, with an average delay to minor-street vehicular traffic of at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour; but
www.4-creeks.com
4 3. If the 85th-percentile approach speed of the major-street traffic exceeds 40 mph, the minimum vehicular volume warrants are 70 percent of the values provided in Items 1 and 2.

D. Where no single criterion is satisfied, but where Criteria B, C.l, and C.2 are all satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. Criterion C.3 is excluded from this condition.

Option:

Other criteria that may be considered in an engineering study include:

A. The need to control left turn conflicts;
B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes;
C. Locations where a road user, after stopping, cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting traffic is also required to stop; and
D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collector (through) streets of similar design and operating characteristics where multi-way stop control would improve traffic operational characteristics of the intersection.

Criterion A - Interim Measure
The installation of a traffic control signal is not currently planned at this intersection; therefore, Criterion A shown above is not applicable.

Criterion B - Crash History
Based on the crash data for the five-year studied period, there were no crashes at this intersection and only one crash in 2023 that was provided to us for inclusion in this report.

Therefore, Criterion B is not met.

Criterion C - Traffic Volume
For a multi-way stop to be warranted based on the volume criteria in the CA MUTCD, Petunia Street (major street) would need to average a minimum of 300 vehicles per hour for any eight hours. In addition, Ventura Avenue (minor street) would need an average combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume of 200 units or more in the same 8-hour period.

Based on the data taken, the eight peak hours are from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM and 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The average volume entering the intersection from Petunia Street was 91 and the average combined vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volume entering from Ventura Avenue was 50. To also meet Criterion C2, in addition to the volume requirements, the average delay to minor • street vehicle traffic must be at least 30 seconds per vehicle during the highest hour. Based on the data taken (see Attachment A), the average delay during the AM and PM peak hours for the southbound approach was three seconds and four seconds, respectively. The average during the highest hour does not meet the requirement.
www.4-creeks.com
5 The major street (Petunia Street) has an 85'h-percentile speed of 35 mph and a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Since the 85th-percentile speed does not exceed 40 mph, the intersection does not meet Criterion C.3 to reduce the minimum vehicular volumé thresholds to 70 percent of the values indicated in Criteria C.l and C.2. -
Criterion C.l and C.2 were not met, and Criteria C.3 is excluded; therefore, a multi-way stop is not warranted based on Criteria C.

Criterion D - Combination Warrant
The combination warrant only applies when none of the above criteria are met but the crash and minimum volume criteria can all be satisfied to 80 percent of the minimum values. This would require four crashes in a 12-month period; 240 vehicles per hour on the major street for eight hours; and 160 vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists per hour on the minor street during the same eight hours. None of the three criteria were met. Therefore, Criterion Dis not met.

Optional Warrants
The following four are optional warrants that the CA MUTCD outlines that when the above warrants are not met, can be used as justification in conjunction with engineering judgment.

Left-Turn Conflicts
This optional warrant is intended to control conflicts between left-turning traffic on the major street with oncoming through traffic. Given the low crash history, as well as low volumes, there is no evidence of a left-turn conflict. Therefore, this optional warrant is not met.

Vehicle/Pedestrian Conflicts
This warrant addresses pedestrian and vehicle conflicts in high pedestrian areas. There were 16 pedestrians in a 24-hour period with four pedestrians crossing the north crosswalk, none crossing the south crosswalk, ll crossing the east crosswalk, and one crossing the west crosswalk. Given the low pedestrian volume and no reported vehicle/pedestrian crashes at this intersection within the studied period, there is no evidence of the need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. Therefore, this optional warrant is not met.

Visibility
When an intersection does not have stop controls, a clear line of sight needs to be maintained between the driver on the minor road (Ventura Avenue) and the driver on the major road (Petunia Street). Adequate time is needed for the stopped vehicle on the minor street to either turn left, right, or cross all travel lanes without radically altering the speed of traffic on the major street. Corner sight distance was evaluated based on the criteria contained in the California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) Highway Design Manual, 7th Edition, 2019. www.4-creeks.com
6 Recommended sight distances for public streets are based on corner sight distance and the approach speed of the major street. As previously noted, Petunia Street has a posted speed limit of 35 mph. The minimum corner sight distance (feet) should be determined by the equation:

1.47V mTg
where Vm is the design speed (mph) of the major road and Tg is the time gap (seconds) for the minor road vehicle to enter the major road. As indicated in the Highway Design Manual for passenger cars, Tg is 7.5 seconds for left-turns from the minor street and Tg is 6.5 seconds for right-turns and crossing maneuvers from the minor street. Therefore, the recommended corner sight distances are 386 feet and 335 feet for left-turns and right-turns from Ventura Avenue, respectively. Recommended sight distances based on varying driver decision points from Ventura Avenue are shown in Attachment C. To improve visibility to the recommended distances based on the minimum driver decision point, parking would need to be prohibited on the north side of Petunia Street near the intersection. As shown in Attachment C, an additional 15 feet of red curb would be added west of Ventura Avenue and 88 feet of red curb would be added east of Ventura Avenue. This would eliminate all parking for the Petunia Street frontages for the properties on the northwest and northeast corners. However, given the low traffic volumes and crash history, visibility does not appear to be an issue at this intersection.

Additionally, the properties currently meet the City's ordinance for corner sight clearance.

Therefore, this optional warrant is not met.

Residential Collector Street
For this warrant to be applicable, the intersection in question must be of two residential neighborhood collector streets of similar designs and operating characteristics. Petunia Street and Ventura Avenue are not residential collector streets of similar designs; therefore, this optional warrant is not applicable.

Field Review and Analysis
Intersection 1: Farmersville Boulevard & Ash Street
The City of Farmersville Downtown Specific Plan outlines several key issues regarding the commercial heart of town, one of which is that the width of Farmersville Boulevard is considered too wide to function as a pedestrian-friendly street that is more common of busy downtown districts.

Another consideration is the roadway cross-section of Farmersville Boulevard. With two through lanes in each direction, the width of the road is considered too wide for pedestrians, per the City's Downtown Specific Plan. The plan goes on to recommend pursuing grant funding to improve Farmersville Boulevard, which could include a "road diet" - which would change the cross section from four-lanes to two-lanes with bicycle lanes and a landscaped median.

Other potential improvements include wider sidewalks, diagonal on-street parking, and www.4-creeks.com
7 parkways with trees for traffic calming. Landscaped medians would serve as pedestrian refuge islands within the medians as well. However, further study would be needed to analyze that configuration to ensure that it would continue to operate efficiently as an arterial and truck route.

The Downtown Specific Plan also highlights the issue of inadequate nighttime lighting. The intersection currently has two downtown style streetlights, one on the southwest corner and one on the northeast corner. The City of Farmersville Improvement Standards specify that streetlights should be installed at least 20 feet clear of any trees, and both streetlights are within that range. Providing brighter streetlights that are at least 20 feet clear of trees would help improve visibility at night.

Based on the crash data for the studied period, there were a total of 12 crashes from 2018 to 2022: two in 2018, three in 2019, two in 2020, three in 2021, and two in 2022. Of the 12 crashes, two crashes resulted in an injury while the remaining resulted in property damage only. Five were classified as broadside crashes, three were rear-end crashes, and there was one each classified as a sideswipe, head-on, other, and unknown type crash. Of the 12 crashes, the primary crash factor in four of them were due to stop sign/signal, three were related to automobile right of way, two were unknown, and there was one each due to unsafe speed, improper turning, and following too closely. Given the crash types and primary crash factors, it is recommended that measures to increase the visibility and awareness of the multi-way stop be considered.

Field reviews of the intersection were conducted on December 19, 2023, and December 30, 2023. The existing conditions previously noted, including inadequate nighttime lighting, noncompliant curb ramps, and trees too close to streetlights were observed. In addition, it was also observed that a food truck was parked in front of the advanced STOP AHEAD sign with the flashing beacon for northbound traffic. Although not completely blocking the sign, it should not be in front of the sign.

It is also recommended that all striping be refreshed in the intersection area, including STOP pavement markings for all approaches and STOP AHEAD pavement markings for Farmersville Boulevard. Each of the four stop-signs should continue to be evaluated to ensure that they continue to meet current reflectivity requirements. All advanced warning signs and pavement markings should be placed per the requirements of the CA MUTCD. The additional advanced warning signs furthest from the intersection should be removed. To improve visibility, the City should utilize the largest size STOP and STOP AHEAD signs for all approaches. It is also recommended the City install dual STOP signs for the Farmersville Boulevard approaches.

Additionally, the trees at the intersection should continue to be trimmed to limit obstructing any visibility of stop signs or streetlighting.

To help improve awareness of the multi-way stop, other options were also considered but eliminated. Solar-powered, light emitting diode (LED) enhanced stop signs were considered. www.4-creeks.com
8 However, because of the significant tree coverage of the solar panels, this was determined to not be a feasible solution. Transverse rumble strips were also considered. These are sometimes used to alert drivers of an upstream stop-controlled intersection. However, transverse rumble strips are normally used on higher-speed approaches not typical of downtown locations. They are also not ideal for bicyclists and Farmersville Boulevard is a designated bike route. For these reasons, rumble strips are not recommended.

Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
A field review of the intersection was conducted on December 19, 2023. There are existing curb ramps on the northwest, northeast, and southeast quadrants of the intersection; however, none comply with current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). There are no marked crosswalks; however, crossing at the intersection would be considered crossing in a legal unmarked crosswalk. Given the low volumes of pedestrians crossing the intersection, installation of a crosswalk is not recommended.

Additionally, vegetation on the northeast corner could block visibility of approaching traffic during certain seasons if allowed to become overgrown. Corner residential properties must maintain corner sight clearance to meet City ordinance requirements. The City should monitor to ensure that these requirements are met.

Results and Conclusions
Intersection 1: Farmersville Boulevard & Ash Street
It is acknowledged that Farmersville Boulevard is under consideration for significant future improvements that may change the roadway cross section, pedestrian facilities, and streetlighting. It is our recommendation that future infrastructure improvements should include improved intersection lighting and ADA-compliant curb ramps (with or without curb extension bulb-outs).

To improve intersection visibility in the meantime, we recommend the City:
• Refresh striping in the intersection area, including STOP pavement markings for all approaches and STOP AHEAD pavement markings for Farmersville Boulevard. • Revise Ash Street centerlines to dual striping per CA MUTCD requirements. • Continue to evaluate intersection stop signs to ensure compliance with reflectivity requirements.
• Locate advanced warning signs and pavement markings per CA MUTCD guidelines. • Remove the additional advanced warning signs furthest from the intersection. • Utilize the largest size STOP and STOP AHEAD signs for all approaches. • Install dual STOP signs for Farmersville Boulevard approaches. www.4-creeks.com
• Continue to trim trees around the intersection to avoid obstructing stop signs or streetlighting.
• Notify food truck vendor regarding need to relocate due to blocking of traffic sign.

Intersection 2: Petunia Street & Ventura Avenue
The result of the multi-way stop warrant analysis indicates a multi-way stop is not warranted based on the criteria set by the CA MUTCD: There were no crashes within a 12-month period based on the SWITRS data, and only one crash was reported for inclusion in this report; therefore, Criteria B was not met Criteria C was not met because both traffic volumes and average delay to minor street traffic did not meet the minimum requirements. The optional warrants concerning left turns, vehicle/pedestrian conflicts, visibility, and residential collector streets were not met. Although corner sight distance evaluations show visibility could be a concern, crash history does not show it to be an issue and the corner properties currently comply with the City's ordinance for corner sight clearance. It is our recommendation to continue to monitor vegetation on the northeast corner that could potentially block visibility of approaching traffic during certain seasons if allowed to become overgrown. www.4-creeks.com

Staff Report 8F
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer Gomez, City Manager
DATE: January 8, 2024
SUBJECT: Task Order with 4Creeks for Design and Engineering Services of Citrus Avenue & Road 168 Connectivity Project in the amount of $385,225 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the Task Order in the amount of $385,225 with 4Creeks.

BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the City Manager has proceeded with the Citrus Avenue & Road 168 Connectivity Project to begin the design phase. The purpose of this project is to improve traffic circulation around Freedom Elementary and Farmersville High School. Delays on Freedom Drive to access Walnut Avenue have been a significant issue for a number of years.

By constructing a new street on the east side of the high school that would connect Citrus Avenue to Walnut Avenue, vehicles will be able to exit onto Walnut Avenue via Freedom Drive or the new street. At the new intersection at Walnut Avenue and Road 168, it has been determined that installing a roundabout would provide the greatest safety improvement and improved traffic circulation in that area. This was presented to the City Council previously and added to the CIP. In a previous 2+2 meeting with the School District, the City Manager discussed the future plans of this project with the School Superintendent and a couple of Board members, so they are aware of this project.
4Creeks has submitted a proposal via a Task Order to perform multiple tasks as part of the design process. It is attached for your reference. These tasks include the following:

1. Project Management

2. Project Initiation

3. Topographic Survey

4. Utility Coordination Services

5. Environmental Compliance
:

6. Environmental Technical Studies

7. Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA Compliance)

8. Geotechnical Analysis

9. Potholing

10. Construction Plans

11. Cost Estimate and Specifications

12. Landscape and Irrigation Design

13. Right-of-Way Support

14. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

15. Post-Construction Stormwater Control Plan; and

16. Dust Control Plan
Additional Optional Services are identified in the Task Order as well but are only noted for staff's benefit to budget future expenses. Those services will be reviewed and approved with updated cost estimates closer to the construction phase.

As the City Engineer, the City can authorize 4Creeks through task orders to perform work without engaging in a competitive process. Most task orders fall under the authority of the City Manager to approve, however, this proposal is over $100,000; so authority lies with the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

To fund this design phase, the City will utilize local Measure R funds.

At this time, the engineers have estimated over $3.8M for the entire project. The City Manager has been in contact with Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) to seek CMAQ unding for the construction phase of the roundabout section of this project. The new stree egment and anything outside of the roundabout area would be funded with City funds. Cit staff anticipates construction will not begin until FY25/26 to allow time to secure funding, right- of-way acquisitions, and finalize design.
