As part of the ongoing employee training opportunities, our Deputy City Clerk, Ashley Chambers, attended the 2024 California Public Employers Labor Relations Association (CALPELRA) conference in Monterey. While there, Ashley listened to the keynote speech by Olympic Gold Medalist Dominique Dawes, who emphasized the importance of the journey, not just the outcome.

Ashley also participated in the general session on Legal Strategies for 2024, where five lawyers discussed specific cases related to labor relations. Additionally, she attended several other sessions, including Building and Strengthening Teams During Challenging Times, Confidentiality and Workplace Investigations, Hiring, Recruiting, and Background-Check Best Practices, and more.

The skills and knowledge gained from these sessions will support daily tasks and help address future challenges.

Before the conference began, the LCW Consortium meeting was held, where training opportunities for Humboldt County in the upcoming year were selected. The conference concluded with a delightful dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was both enjoyable and fun. Staff is grateful for this opportunity and looks forward to future training events.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

SB90 Cost Claims:

Finance staff have submitted cost claims to the State as part of the State Mandated Claims Reimbursement Program. As a way of background, Senate Bill 90 (SB90) was passed by the State Legislature in 1972. The purpose of the SB90 program was to provide local agencies with a financial relief (reimbursement) from the State for the administration or operation of a required program either completely or partially. The State Controller’s Office annually receives, reviews, and audits the Mandated Cost claims. The claims are due by January 15 each year.

This year the City submitted claims for five different programs for a total amount of approximately $30,000, which is $20,000 more than in years past. The claims are to be paid in the subsequent State budget IF there is any appropriation; otherwise, there is no specific date. Historically the City receive about 85% of the total claim amount within a year. Some claims are still unpaid and date back as far as fiscal year 2005-06.

Measure E Update:

The Measure E committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting is set for January 22, 2025 at 5:30pm in the Council Chambers.

The primary purpose of this meeting will be to solicit project ideas and funding input from the public. This is a great place for the public to be heard on how they want their sales and use tax monies to be spent within the City of Fortuna. The City has historically received valuable input and project ideas, which City staff would not have been aware of, from the public during these annual public solicitation meetings.

List of Measure E items funded this month:
 (2) Police Detective Positions
 Police Community Services Officer Position
 Police Records Clerk Position
 Parks and Recreation Director Position

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Public Works Director/City Engineer
City Hall Remodel Project/City Hall Bathroom Restoration The remodel at City Hall for the Community Development Department is substantially complete, and staff have been working in their new offices for a number of weeks. Only small outfitting items remain on the new Community Development Department side of the building. Public Works staff have since been focused on some remodel work on the existing City Hall office side, including separating the former Building Inspector/Building Official offices and painting. Lastly, the project has used about 55% of the available budget to date. Given the current budget and the remaining work, staff anticipate the project will come in at or below budget.

The other project happening currently in City Hall is the repair of the men’s public restroom, which flooded in October. Staff anticipate the restoration will be completed in December, at an estimated cost of $60-$70 thousand dollars. Once the project is complete and all invoices are received, staff will work with the City’s risk pool to make an insurance claim for reimbursement, and a Supplemental Budget Request will be processed to reimburse the budget overage to the City Hall maintenance account.

Monday Club Chimney
The masonry contractor was able to resume project work the week of December 2nd. This timeline was a bit later than originally hoped, as unfortunately in November the brick manufacturer produced and shipped the wrong material. That has since been corrected, and at the time of this report there is Consent Item 4g

about 2-working days’ worth of masonry left to complete. See inset right for a progress picture from December 10th.

As noted in previous reports, staff anticipate executing a deductive change order with DCI Builders for this project, given that the contractor was able to save the interior chimney from demolition.

Staff will report on the final cost of the project once completed.

Main Street Gateway Project
The project has continued to progress generally on schedule. To date the demolition, concrete, and earthwork have been completed. The remaining work includes fabricating and installing the sign, installing the plants and decorative rock, and paving/striping. Overall, the weather has delayed the project schedule, and given the time of year with holidays it is likely the project will not be completed until early January. Staff will keep the Council informed on the exact project schedule once an update is provided by the contractor.

One major point of focus over
the past month has been the
design of the sign itself. Given
the project bids came in below
the budget, staff have been
working with the sign contractor
to add some additional detail
and features to the sign.

Upgrades will include raised
lettering with halo backlighting
on the front side, and the ability
for the sign to be outfitted with
decorative art pieces, similar to
those that are displayed at the
City’s Kenmar welcome sign
(i.e. the fish, apple, Christmas
tree).

Kenmar Interchange Project
Staff have been working with Caltrans to execute the cooperative agreement with Caltrans so that the Engineering Design work can begin. Staff anticipate that GHD will be able to begin the engineering design phase in January, and this project phase is anticipated to take approximately 2- years to complete.

In November, Staff met with management staff representing the Great Redwood Trail Agency (GRTA) to discuss the details of the City’s interchange projects, specifically how their trail would Consent Item 4g

interface with the roundabout designs. The meeting was productive, and the City and GHD have clear direction for how to proceed designing project improvements within the GRTA right of way. 12th Street Interchange Project
Staff and the City’s engineering consultants have been continuing towards developing the project CEQA document, which is expected to be ready for circulation by late Spring 2025. Also over the past month, staff have been working with Caltrans to develop a grant application to the RAISE program, which is a federally funded transportation grant opportunity that was created through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Currently the grant requires from the City will be for $4.3 million dollars (no match), and the funding would cover the environmental portion of the interchange improvements at Riverwalk and Dinsmore Drive, and full engineering designs for the interchanges on both sides of the Highway.

In fiscal year 2018-19 staff identified and reviewed a number of potential strategies to address the unfunded pension liabilities including pros and cons of each strategy with the Council. It was determined that making additional discretionary payments when the City was able to was the best strategy and in fiscal years 2018-19, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022- 23 the Council gave direction to staff to make additional discretionary payments to CalPERS in order to help “smooth” the future mandated unfunded liability payments. This report includes a recap of the pension plan and a discussion of the status and history of the unfunded liabilities.

New accounting standards dramatically impacted local government financial statements by requiring the net pension liability be reported as a liability on the City’s Statement of Net Position; thereby, reducing the City’s financial net position (assets in excess of liabilities). Prior to the change in accounting standards the long term liability amounts referred to as unfunded accrued actuarial liability were not included on the City’s balance sheet. Annual payments for pension costs were paid on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, therefore no additional accrued actuarial expenses were added to City pension costs and there was no additional liability reported on the balance sheet. The addition of these unfunded long-term liabilities to the entity-wide financial statements brought these liabilities to the forefront amongst public officials and can have an effect on the City’s ability to secure future credit (loans, bonds etc.).

CITY PLANS:

City of Fortuna permanent full-time employees participate in the CalPERS retirement system.

Sworn employees are covered under the Safety Plan, while all other employees are covered in the Miscellaneous Plan, both of which are a part of the statewide pool. A pooled plan was required by California law for those agencies who had fewer than 100 active members. These assets and Business Item 5a

liabilities are pooled with all other safety and miscellaneous plans in the State with fewer than 100 active members to provide a large, risk sharing pool. This risk sharing dramatically reduces large fluctuations in an employer’s pension contribution rate caused by unexpected local demographic events.

Depending on an employee’s position and hire date, a City employee is included in one of the six possible plans in the table below:

Plan Miscellaneous Safety
Classic Members (Employees Hired Prior to
March 1, 2012)

2.7% @ 55 3.0% @ 50
Tier 2 Plan (Effective March 1, 2012) 2.0% @ 55 3.0% @ 55 PEPRA Plan (Effective Jan 1, 2013) 2.0% @ 62 2.7% @ 57
CALPERS FUNDING REVIEW:

The CalPERS retirement system is funded by three main categories: (1) CalPERS Investment Earnings, (2) employer contributions to CalPERS, (3) employee contributions to CalPERS.

CalPERS reports that over the past twenty years every dollar spent on public employee pensions has been sourced from the following as of June 30, 2024 • 55 cents – CalPERS Investment Earnings
• 34 cents – Employer Contributions to CalPERS
• 11 cents – Employee Contributions to CalPERS
As of Fiscal Year 2023-24, CalPERS announced the following average returns on its investment portfolio:
• 6.6% percent over the past five years
• 6.2% over the past ten years
• 6.7% over the past twenty years
PENSION FUND STABILITY INITIATIVES:

Over the past decade CalPERS has taken steps to stabilize and improve the system’s fiscal strength and lower future risk to the pension trust’s sustainability.

In November 2012, California voters passed the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) providing that new employees hired after January 1, 2013 are required to contribute more to their pensions and must also work longer before they can retire and begin to receive the benefits promised by their employers.

Effective during the 2014-15 fiscal year the expected rate of return on CalPERS pension fund’s investments referred to as the “discount rate” was reduced from 7.75% to 7.5%. In December 2016, CalPERS voted to lower its discount rate in steps beginning in FY 2018-19 from 7.5% to

7.0%. CalPERS again voted to lower the discount rate to 6.8% in July 2021. Lowering the discount rate impacts local governments because with lower expected returns over time this will require contribution rates to increase to provide sufficient assets to pay pension benefits.

Business Item 5a

FORTUNA UNFUNDED LIABILITY STATUS:

As of June 30, 2023 the City of Fortuna’s proportionate share of the net pension liability for each plan is shown in the below table:

Scenario 1 - 1%
Decrease (5.90%)
Current Discount
Rate (6.90%)
Scenario 2 - 1%
Increase (7.90%)
Miscellaneous Plan $ 9,018,517 $ 5,378,476 $ 2,382,411
Safety Plan $ 7,752,881 $ 5,058,204 $ 2,855,114
Total $ 16,771,398 $ 10,436,680 $ 5,237,525
In FY 2017-18, the City of Fortuna was mandated by CalPERS to pay $427,958 towards the City’s proportionate share of the unfunded liability. For FY 2022-23 the mandated payment was $798,707. An overall increase of 87% in seven years.

FUTURE PROJECTED UNFUNDED LIABILITY PAYMENTS:

Fiscal Year Payment Fiscal Year Payment
24-25 $ 810,054 35-36 $ 1,178,800
25-26 $ 951,551 36-37 $ 933,592
26-27 $ 1,025,404 37-38 $ 754,583
27-28 $ 1,083,608 38-39 $ 679,086
28-29 $ 1,222,326 39-40 $ 618,320
29-30 $ 1,249,317 40-41 $ 577,176
30-31 $ 1,271,906 41-42 $ 497,352
31-32 $ 1,295,130 42-43 $ 418,560
32-33 $ 1,281,887 43-44 $ 770,189
33-34 $ 1,267,234 44-45 $ 61,364
34-35 $ 1,234,369
The chart above shows that the mandated liability payment is projected to increase by over $500,000 by fiscal year 2031-32. The City would be hard pressed to make such a payment without making cuts to the budget elsewhere. In order to address the unfunded liability issue now rather than let it get to those exorbitant numbers staff is recommending making Additional Discretionary Payments or distributions into a 115 Trust in order to “smooth” the payments and reduce the peak years.

ANALYSIS OF UNFUNDED LIABILITY STRATEGY:

The strategy to make Additional Discretionary Payments (ADP) offers the following benefits:
 The City’s additional payments are discretionary as to time and amount of payment, providing flexibility if future circumstances allow for higher, lower or perhaps no payments for that particular fiscal year.
 The City would be initially credited with the CalPERS’ assumed ROR. For FY 2024-25 the rate is set at 6.8%. Under CalPERS practices, additional contributions would be applied evenly over a period of time (can be chosen by the City).

Business Item 5a

 Functions like a homeowner making additional mortgage principal payments, this strategy provides flexibility and if the City commits to a funding strategy with regular pay-downs, the unfunded liability could be retired ahead of the scheduled amortization period by a number of years.
 Greater average return (6.2% average return last 10 years) than can be achieved through City’s investment policy and practices (1.58% average return for LAIF).

This approach offers the following risks:
 The primary drawbacks to making additional contributions directly to CalPERS are that the City would have less flexibility, as the City would not control the timing of when funds would be applied.
 CalPERS has stated that once monies are paid into the pension trust, they are never returned back to the City. Future assets in excess of liabilities, should they occur, will not be refunded back to the City.
 City receives interest on additional discretionary payments in tandem with what CalPERS earns, which can be volatile. Below is a list of the last ten years earnings rate:

Year Rate Year Rate
2023 5.8% 2018 8.60%
2022 - 6.1% 2017 11.20%
2021 21.3% 2016 0.60%
2020 4.70% 2015 2.40%
2019 6.70% 2014 18.40%
The strategy to make distributions into a PARS 115 Trust offer the following benefits:
 The City’s distributions into the trust are discretionary as to time and amount of payment, providing flexibility if future circumstances allow for higher, lower or perhaps no payments for that particular fiscal year.
 The City could take an investment approach that ranges from conservative to more aggressive. Five total investment strategies available.  The City will maintain local control over assets; distributions from the trust can be made for any pension-related expense.
 Greater average return (6.39% average return last 10 years for Moderate Strategy) than can be achieved through City’s investment policy and practices (1.58% average return for LAIF).

This approach offer the following risks:
 For reporting purposes this is an indirect offset on the City’s balance sheet and does not increase the funded status of the City’s pension plans with CalPERS.  Plan requires a 0.25% PARS trust administration fee and 0.35% Investment Management fee.
 115 Trust distributions can be made for any pension related reason which means that future distributions from the trust could be made towards the Normal Cost and not towards the City’s unfunded liability.

Given the magnitude of the projected increases, the long-term fiscal sustainability of the City depends upon taking prudent, meaningful, and swift actions to address the City’s pension obligations.

Business Item 5a

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Staff is recommending utilizing a large portion of FY 23-24 investment revenue that exceeded the budget be re-invested into the PARS 115 Trust and/or by making an additional payment directly to CalPERS. The FY 23-24 investment revenue budget vs actual is shown in the below chart.

Staff is recommending Council authorize a total SBR of $850,000. Those monies would be required to be taken from General Fund, Storm Drain, Solid Waste, Water, Wastewater, and Transit reserves as the investment revenue over budget went to reserves on June 30, 2024. The allocation between funds would be as shown in the table below.

As mentioned above CalPERS has a target investment rate of 6.8% and over the last 10 years has averaged a rate of return of 6.2%.

The PARS Pension 115 Trust has 5 investment strategies that the City can choose from and are shown in the table below. Staff recommends starting with the Moderate Strategy to begin with and can always revisit the Strategy at a later date.

Staff is recommending that Council make a $250,000 ADP to CalPERS and deposit $600,000 into the PARS Pension 115 Trust.

Business Item 5b

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: December 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Casey J. Day, Chief of Police
THRU: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consider the Approval of a Supplemental Budget Request to Produce a Fortuna Police Department Recruitment Video
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that Council approve a supplemental budget request in the amount of $3,000.00 for the production of a police recruitment video. The funds will be drawn from reserves, with the agreement and understanding that the full amount will be reimbursed to the reserves upon receipt of the next allotted asset forfeiture disbursement.

BACKGROUND:

The Fortuna Police Department faces significant challenges in recruiting new officers. The nationwide shortage of qualified law enforcement personnel has intensified competition among agencies, making it imperative to adopt innovative strategies to attract talent. A professionally produced recruitment video will enable our department to effectively showcase the unique benefits of working in Fortuna, our commitment to community policing, and the exceptional quality of life in our region.

Local law enforcement recruitment is a pressing priority to maintain our department’s high standards and ensure public safety. Current efforts, including job postings and traditional outreach, are no longer sufficient to compete with higher-paying agencies or those offering substantial incentives. This video will enhance our ability to reach a broader and more diverse pool of applicants through online platforms, social media, and community events.

DISCUSSION:

The requested $3,000.00 will be allocated for the services of a local video production company (Sightseer Productions) with a proven track record. This company previously delivered a highquality production for the Every 15 Minutes educational event, which received excellent feedback for its professionalism and impact.

The recruitment video will highlight the following:
 The department’s commitment to community oriented policing and public safety.  Opportunities for professional growth and advancement within the department.  The supportive and welcoming culture of our team.
 The benefits of living and working in Fortuna.

Business Item 5b

This video will serve as a powerful tool to enhance our recruitment efforts, enabling us to connect with candidates on platforms where they are most engaged. By presenting a polished and authentic representation of our department, we can improve our chances of attracting top-tier talent.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The $3,000.00 supplemental budget request will come from City reserves. However, these funds will be fully reimbursed using the next disbursement from asset forfeiture proceeds, ensuring no long-term impact on City reserves.

The City and the police department have utilized Sightseer Productionsin the recent past for events such as Every 15 Minutes, department inspections, and trainings. The department will want to have access to and utilize the previously shot video footage for consideration in this project and ensure continuity of service with a vendor who has shown a specialized and technical expertise for this type of law enforcement specific video production. The Fortuna Municipal Code (FMC) §§

2.50.080 allows the City to obtain goods and services by negotiated contract, and without a competitive procurement process, when the Council determines that a competitive procurement process is not likely to serve the best interests of the City or to result in the lowest price, or when competitive procurement is impractical.

CONCLUSION:

Investing in a professional recruitment video is a strategic move to address the current staffing challenges facing the Fortuna Police Department. By utilizing a trusted local video production company, we can create a compelling and effective recruitment tool that will help secure the future of our department and the safety of our community.

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: December 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Shari Meads, Community Development Director
THRU: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 2024-769, Amending the Fortuna Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning Regulations) to Add Chapter 17.10, Reasonable Accomidations Policy and Procedures and Find the Amendments to be Exempt from CEQA.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing to introduce and conduct the first reading of Ordinance 2024-769 to amend Fortuna Municipal Code Title 17, Zoning Regulations, to add Chapter 17-10, Reasonable Accommodations Policy and Procedures (Amendment), and find the Amendment exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15061(b)3.

DISCUSSION
The City’s General Plan Housing Element (6th Cycle, 2019-2027) (Housing Element) was adopted by the City Council on August 7, 2019. The Housing Element fulfills State of California requirements to provide for a variety of housing types, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing (Government Code Sections 65583 and 65583.2).

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) enforces Housing Element Implementation. While the City has made some progress toward implementing the General Plan and Housing Element, it is delinquent on many measures. HCD has contacted City staff in what could be considered an audit process to verify implementation statuses. If a City is deemed noncompliant, its Housing Element can be decertified. If a City’s Housing Element is decertified, significant monthly monetary penalties may be assessed, and Grant funds and opportunities can be lost.

In addition, developers can exploit the “builder’s remedy law,” essentially bypassing all City zoning requirements and development standards if a project includes 20% or more residential units set aside for lower-income residents. This could result in the construction of large, dense developments in areas with limited infrastructure among other issues.

For this report, staff focused on implementing Housing Element Program H-18, the Reasonable Accommodation Procedure, which directs the City to develop and formalize a process for Business Item 5c

providing individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodation in rules, policies, practices, and procedures. This ensures equal access to housing and facilitates the development of housing for individuals with disabilities.

Federal and State Fair Housing Laws
The federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in housing and require that jurisdictions take affirmative action to eliminate regulations and practices that deny housing opportunities to individuals with disabilities. More specifically, fair housing laws require that jurisdictions provide individuals with disabilities or developers of housing for people with disabilities, flexibility in the application of land use and zoning and building regulations, practices and procedures.

Local jurisdictions must even waive certain requirements when it is necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities. For example, people with mobility disabilities may need to install exterior ramps, which might normally violate zoning setbacks, placement, or site coverage requirements. People with intellectual or mental health disabilities may need a higher fence than usually allowed to offer more privacy and reduce anxiety.

Staff recommends adopting the proposed Amendment to allow flexibility in the application of zoning and land use regulations and procedures to ensure people with disabilities have equal access to housing. The specific text of the proposed Amendment is provided in Exhibit A which is attached to the draft ordinance provided for consideration.

REGULATORY CONTEXT
Fortuna Municipal Code Section 17.07.200 outlines the Zoning Regulations amendment process.

Pursuant to Section 17.07.200(B), the Planning Commission must hold a public hearing and consider public comment on any such ordinance or amendment. Section 17.07.200(D) further mandates that following the public hearing, the Planning Commission provide a written recommendation to the City Council. Planning Commission Resolution (P-2024-3120), included as Attachment 2 to this report, implements this requirement.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item was noticed in compliance with FMC Section 17.07.200(C), which outlines the procedure for noticing City Zoning Amendments. Notice of the Planning Commission hearing was published in the North Coast Journal on December 5, 2024, including a general explanation of the hearing and the time, date, and location. The agenda was also posted 72 hours before the meeting on the community bulletin board in front of City Hall (621 11th Street).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Community Development Department’s annual budget allocation and the City’s annual legal assistance budget cover the cost of preparing the draft ordinance.

Business Item 5c

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Housing Element (including Program H-18) was analyzed in the City’s certified General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. (PEIR), and no substantial changes or new information merit subsequent analysis of the Amendments. Before Housing Element adoption, the applicable housing element policies and programs were analyzed for potential environmental impacts and were found not to have a significant impact on the environment.

To the extent the Amendment is a separate project for the purposes of CEQA, it is exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The Amendment aligns the FMC with General Plan Housing Element policies, programs, and State regulations.

Staff will file a Notice of Exemption upon adoption per CEQA guidelines.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION

1. Open the Public Hearing

2. Receive staff presentation and review draft ordinance with staff.

3. Open public comment.

4. Close public comment.

5. Motion to hold the first reading, by title only, of Ordinance 2024-769 and continue the public hearing to January 6, 2024. Roll call vote.

WHEREAS, Section 3604(f)(3)(b) of Title 42 of the United States Code (the "Fair Housing Act") and Section 12955 et seq. of the California Government Code (the "California Fair Employment and Housing Act") prohibit local government from refusing to make reasonable accommodations in policies and practices when these accommodations are necessary to afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling; and WHEREAS, the draft Housing Element is within the scope of the City’s General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), certified and adopted by the City Council on October 26, 2010, by Resolution 2020-45 and therefore, no further environmental review is required; and WHEREAS, the Fortuna Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on December 10, 2024, to consider and receive public testimony on the Amendment and associated CEQA recommendation; and

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

SECTION 1. Recitals. The above and foregoing recitals are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City of Fortuna City Council.

SECTION 2. CEQA. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Housing Element, including Program H-18 addressed in the Amendment, was analyzed in the City’s certified General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. (PEIR). Addendum to the General Plan 2035 Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) entitled the "2023-2031 Housing Element Update General Plan EIR Addendum" certified and adopted certified and adopted by the City Council on October 26, 2010, by Resolution 2020-45, and no substantial changes or new information merits subsequent analysis of the Amendments.

Additionally, or alternatively, the proposed Amendment is exempt as a “common sense” exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it implements a Housing Element program to promote fair and equal housing opportunities but does not involve any physical changes with the potential to create an adverse effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Amendment may have a significant effect on the environment.

Exhibit A
Title 17. Zoning regulations
Chapter 17.10

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS POLICY AND PROCEDURES

17.10.010 – Intent and purpose.

A. Intent. The intent of this Chapter is to provide flexibility in the application of the Zoning regulations for individuals with a disability, when flexibility is necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities. This Chapter will facilitate compliance with federal and state fair housing laws, and promote housing opportunities for Fortuna residents.

B. Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish a procedure for persons with disabilities seeking fair access to housing to make requests for reasonable accommodation in the application of Fortuna's zoning laws, rules, policies, practices and procedures pursuant to Section 3604(f)(3)(b) of Title 42 of the United States Code (the "Fair Housing Act") and Section 12955 et seq. of the California Government Code (the "California Fair Employment and Housing Act"), which prohibit local government from refusing to make reasonable accommodations in policies and practices when these accommodations are necessary to afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

17.10.020 – Applicability.

A. A request for reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability as defined herein, their representative or any entity, when the application of a zoning law or other land use regulation, policy or practice acts as a barrier to fair housing opportunities. This Chapter is intended to apply to those persons who are defined as disabled under the Acts as defined herein.

B. A request for reasonable accommodation may include a modification or exception to the rules, standards and practices for the siting, development and use of housing or housing-related facilities that would eliminate regulatory barriers and provide a person with a disability equal opportunity to housing of their choice. A request for reasonable accommodation shall comply with Section 17.10.040 (Application Requirements).

17.10.030 – Definitions.
"Acts" means the "Fair Housing Act" (Section 3601 et seq. of Title 42 of the United States Code) and the "California Fair Employment and Housing Act" (Section 12955 et seq. of the California Government Code).
"Person with a Disability" is any person who has a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more major life activities; anyone who is regarded as having such impairment; or anyone who has a record of such impairment, as further defined and amended in the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) of California Government Code Section 12926(i)(1), (2), and (m)(1), (2).

Federal and State fair housing laws do not protect an individual's current unlawful use of controlled substances or other drugs, unless that individual has a separate disability. "Request for Reasonable Accommodation" means a request to modify land use, zoning and building regulations, policies, practices, or procedures in order to give people with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

17.10.040 – Application requirements.

A. Application. A written request for reasonable accommodation shall be submitted to the Community Development Director and must include the following information:

1. The applicant's name, address and telephone number;

2. Address of the property for which the request is being made;

3. The current actual use of the property;

4. The basis for the claim that the individual is considered disabled under the Acts;

5. The Zoning Code provision, regulation or policy from which reasonable accommodation is being requested; and

6. Why the reasonable accommodation is necessary to make the specific property accessible to the individual.

B. Review with other land use or design review applications. If the project for which the request is being made also requires one or more unrelated discretionary approvals (including, but not limited to, design review, conditional use permit, variance or subdivision), then the application for reasonable accommodation shall whenever feasible be submitted with the application for said permit(s).

C. An applicant may request City staff assistance to complete the request for reasonable accommodation.

17.10.050 – Application review and procedures.

A. Authority. The Community Development Director shall have the authority to consider and act on requests for reasonable accommodation and shall make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services when those accommodations may be necessary to afford persons with disabilities equal opportunities to use and enjoy the dwelling.

1. The Community Development Director shall issue a written determination no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt of a complete request for reasonable accommodation and may: (1) grant the accommodation request; (2) grant the accommodation request with specified nondiscriminatory conditions of approval; or (3) deny the request, pursuant to Section 17.10.050 (Findings and decision). All written determinations shall give notice of the right to appeal, if any, as specified in Section 17.010.070. The notice of determination shall be sent to the applicant by first class mail or in a format requested by the applicant.

2. Requests for reasonable accommodations that include unrelated discretionary approvals, shall be processed and considered separately from any discretionary elements of the same proposal. The Community Development Director, or their designee, shall act on the request for reasonable accommodation within a timely manner but no later than thirty (30) days of the date of a complete request pursuant to Section 17.10.040; however, if the request for a reasonable accommodation cannot be effectuated until a final decision is rendered on the related discretionary approvals, a "provisional approval" can be granted within the 30 day time frame allowing the reasonable accommodation request to be implemented, or modified as needed to obtain the same goal, at the time of the final discretionary approval, and shall become final at the same time. The applications for discretionary approval shall be separately considered and shall be subject to the procedures for consideration specified in the applicable Zoning regulations, depending on the type of application. The appropriate decision-making body shall act on all discretionary permits, but not the reasonable accommodation request.

B. While a request for reasonable accommodation is pending, all laws and regulations otherwise applicable to the property that is the subject of the request shall remain in full force and effect.

17.010.060 – Decision.

A. The Community Development Director’s written decision to grant or deny a request for reasonable accommodation will be consistent with the Acts and shall be based on consideration of the following factors:

1. Whether the housing, which is the subject of the request, will be used by an individual disabled under the Acts;

2. Whether the request for reasonable accommodation is necessary to make specific housing available to an individual with a disability under the Acts;

3. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City;

4. Whether the requested reasonable accommodation would require a fundamental alteration in the nature of a City program or law, including but not limited to land use and zoning; and

5. Other reasonable accommodations that may provide an equivalent level of benefit.

B. Conditions of approval. In granting a request for reasonable accommodation, the Community Development Director may impose any conditions of approval deemed reasonable and necessary to ensure that the reasonable accommodation would comply with the findings required by Section 17.010.060(A). Conditions may be imposed to ensure that any removable structures or physical design features that are constructed or installed in association with the reasonable accommodation be removed once those structures or physical design features are unnecessary to provide access to the dwelling unit for the current occupants.

None of the findings of this Section are intended to supersede any other findings which might also be required for a discretionary permit that is reviewed concurrently with the request for accommodation.

17.010.070 – Appeal of adverse decision.

A. Within thirty (30) days of the date of the reviewing authority’s written decision, an applicant may submit a written appeal of an adverse decision.

B. An individual may request City staff assistance in filing an appeal of an adverse decision.

C. All appeals shall include a statement of the grounds for the appeal. Any information identified by an applicant as confidential shall be retained in a manner so as to respect the privacy rights of the applicant and shall not be made available for public inspection.

D. Nothing in this procedure shall preclude an aggrieved individual from seeking any other state or federal remedy available.

17.010.080 – Notice of availability.

A. Notice of the City of Fortuna's Reasonable Accommodations Policy and Procedures shall be displayed at public information counters in the City’s planning and building offices.

Business Item 5d

STAFF REPORT
City Council Business Item
DATE: December 16, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Shari Meads, Community Development Director
THRU: Amy Nilsen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 2024-772, Amending the Fortuna Municipal Code Title 17, Zoning Regulations, Regarding Single-Room Occupancy Facilities and Finding the Amendments to be Exempt From CEQA.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Council to hold a public hearing to introduce and conduct the first reading of Ordinance 2024- 772 approving amendments to Fortuna Municipal Code Title 17, Zoning Regulations, regarding Single-Room Occupancy Facilities (Amendments) and finding the Amendments to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15061(b)3.

DISCUSSION
The City’s General Plan Housing Element (6th Cycle, 2019-2027) (Housing Element) was adopted by the City Council on August 7, 2019. The Housing Element fulfills State of California requirements to provide for a variety of housing types, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing (Government Code Sections 65583 and 65583.2).

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) enforces Housing Element Implementation. While the City has made some progress toward implementing the General Plan and Housing Element, it is delinquent on many measures. HCD has contacted City staff in what could be considered an audit process to verify implementation statuses. If a City is deemed noncompliant, its Housing Element can be decertified. If a City’s Housing Element is decertified, significant monthly monetary penalties may be assessed, and Grant funds and opportunities can be lost.

In addition, developers can exploit the “builder’s remedy law,” to essentially bypass all City zoning requirements and development standards if a project includes 20% or more residential units set aside for lower-income residents. This could result in the construction of large, dense developments in areas with limited infrastructure among other issues.

For this report, Staff has focused on implementing Housing Element Program H-15, Housing for Extremely Low-Income Households, as part of this first phase of Fortuna Municipal Code (FMC) Business Item 5d

amendments. This program directs the City to amend the FMC to allow for single-room occupancy (SRO) facilities in compliance with State law.

SROs provide one of the least expensive forms of non-subsidized rental housing and can especially benefit seniors, persons with disabilities, and extremely low-income individuals. The proposed FMC amendments (Amendments) explicitly allow SRO Facilities compliant with appropriate parking, development, management and other standards in the R-M, N-C, and R-C zoning districts and with a conditional use permit in the C-T, M-1, and M-2 zoning districts. The specific text of the proposed Amendments is provided in Exhibits A-G attached to the draft ordinance provided for consideration.

REGULATORY CONTEXT
Fortuna Municipal Code Section 17.07.200 outlines the Zoning Regulations amendment process.

Pursuant to Section 17.07.200(B), the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing and consider public comment on any such ordinance or amendment. Section 17.07.200(D) mandates that following the public hearing, the Planning Commission provide a written recommendation to the City Council. The attached Resolution (P-2024-3119), implements this requirement.

PUBLIC NOTICE
This item was noticed in compliance with Section 17.07.200(C) which outlines the City’s Zoning Amendments noticing procedure. Notice of the City Council hearing was published in the North Coast Journal on Thursday, December 5, 2024, including a general explanation of the hearing and the time, date, and location. The agenda was also posted 72 hours in advance of the meeting on the community bulletin board located in front of City Hall (621 11th Street).

FISCAL IMPACT
The Community Development Department’s annual budget allocation and the City’s annual legal assistance budget cover the cost of preparing the draft ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Housing Element (including Program H-15) was analyzed in the City’s certified General Plan Program Environmental Impact Report. (PEIR), and no substantial changes or new information merit subsequent analysis of the Amendments. Before Housing Element adoption, the applicable housing element policies and programs were analyzed for potential environmental impacts and were found not to have a significant impact on the environment.

To the extent the Amendments are a separate project for the purposes of CEQA, they are exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The Amendments align the FMC with General Plan Housing Element policies, programs, and State regulations.

Staff will file a Notice of Exemption upon adoption as required by CEQA.
