RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the Subordination Agreement between the City of Foster City, as the Successor Housing Agency to the Community Development Agency of the City of Foster City, and Walker & Dunlop LLC and PWM Residential Venture LP relating to refinancing for Marlin Cove Apartments; and authorizing the Mayor to execute the Subordination Agreement.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the request of PWM, City staff have worked with PWM to negotiate revisions to the Subordination Agreement so that certain financing through Fannie Mae, which is now maturing, can be replaced with new Fannie Mae financing. PWM is requesting that Foster City again subordinate the Deed of Trust to the new Fannie Mae.
5.2 5.2 Staff Report
11 8
1 BACKGROUND
In November 1999, the Community Development Agency of the City of Foster City (“Redevelopment Agency”) entered into a Disposition and Development ("DDA") with M.H. Podell Company for the development of the mixed-use Marlin Cove project ("Project") located at 1000-1098 Foster City Boulevard. The Project consisted of both commercial/retail and residential components, including affordable housing. M.H.
Podell Company subsequently assigned its rights to the residential portion of the Project to an affiliate entity, PWM Residential Ventures, LLC1 in February, 2000.
The acquisition of the property used for the Project was partially financed with a $5,355,682 grant from the Redevelopment Agency. Pursuant to the terms of the DDA, PWM entered into an Affordable Housing Covenant dated August 7, 2000 (“Covenant”).
Pursuant to the DDA, the obligations under the Covenant are secured by a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing recorded in the Recording Office on August 11, 2000 as Instrument No. 2000-099216 (collectively, the “Deed of Trust”). The Deed of Trust is a mechanism for enforcing the obligations under the Covenant.
PWM also relied upon bonds from the California Statewide Communities Development Authority to finance the acquisition, construction and development of the Project (the “Bonds”). In 2003, the Bonds were reissued and the proceeds of the Bonds were used for a loan from California Statewide Communities Development Authority to PWM that was secured by a Multifamily Deed of Trust Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, dated as of November 1, 2003, which was assigned to Fannie Mae and Wells Fargo Bank. At that time, Fannie Mae and Wells Fargo Bank required the Redevelopment Agency to subordinate the Deed of Trust, which essentially means that PWM’s obligations to Fannie Mae and Wells Fargo Bank would be primary and PWM’s obligations to the Redevelopment Agency under the Deed of Trust would be secondary or junior to the primary obligations.
On June 29, 2011, State Assembly Bill ABx1 26 was signed by the Governor calling for the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in the State of California. As a result of ABx1 26, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-2 on January 9, 2012, to become the Successor Agency to the former Redevelopment Agency, electing to handle the affairs and winding-down of the Redevelopment Agency. On that date, the City Council also agreed to become the Successor Housing Agency, and take over the housing assets and obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency. Health and Safety Code Section 34176(a) allows a city that authorized the creation of a redevelopment agency to elect to retain the responsibility for performing housing functions previously performed by and 1 PWM Residential Ventures LLC converted from a limited liability company to a limited partnership and is now known as PWM, Residential Venture, LP (collectively referred to as “PWM”)

1 the housing assets of the redevelopment agency. On January 31, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency was formally dissolved.
In 2013, the Bonds were retired and PWM refinanced the Project with multifamily financing from Walker & Dunlop, LLC (“2013 Financing”).
ANALYSIS
The 2013 Financing is maturing in 2023 and PWM intends to enter into a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement with Walker & Dunlop, LLC to replace the 2013 Financing, and execute a note to be secured by a Multifamily Mortgage, Deed of Trust or Deed to Secure Debt. As part of this refinancing, PWM is requesting that the City of Foster City as the Successor Housing Agency, enter into a new Subordination Agreement to provide that the Walker & Dunlop Security Instrument will have priority over the Deed of Trust.
Health and Safety Code Section 33334.14 permits subordination of redevelopment agency affordability restrictions provided that: (i) the agency makes a finding that alternative financing is not reasonably available on economically feasible terms without subordination, and (ii) the agency obtains written commitments to protect its investment in the event of a default. In this case, City staff believes the findings can be made because without subordination of the Deed of Trust, an economically feasible alternative for refinancing is not reasonably available to PWM. Subordination is a very common requirement for commercial loans. Additionally, the terms of the Subordination Agreement provide the Successor Housing Agency with reasonable means of protecting the Successor Housing Agency’s investment in the event of default.
City staff and the City Attorney’s Office has worked with PWM to negotiate revisions to the Subordination Agreement although the substantive terms of the Subordination Agreement remain largely the same as the 2013 agreement. The proposed Subordination Agreement provides the Successor Housing Agency with rights to receive notice and to cure defaults arising under the Walker & Dunlop Security Instrument.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The approval of this Subordination Agreement is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact related to this item.

2 acknowledge and agree that payments received by Subordinate Lender, and remitted to Senior Lender under this Section 5, shall not be applied or otherwise credited against the Subordinate Mortgage, nor shall the tender of such payment to Senior Lender waive any Subordinate Mortgage Default which may arise from the inability of Subordinate Lender to retain such payment or apply such payment to the Subordinate Mortgage.

(c) Cross Default.
Borrower and Subordinate Lender agree that a Subordinate Mortgage Default shall constitute a Senior Loan Default under the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender shall have the right to exercise all rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents in the same manner as in the case of any other Senior Loan Default. If Subordinate Lender notifies Senior Lender in writing that any Subordinate Mortgage Default of which Senior Lender has received a Default Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by Subordinate Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior Lender has not conducted a sale of the Mortgaged Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Loan Documents, any Senior Loan Default under the Senior Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Mortgage Default shall be deemed cured, and the Senior Loan shall be reinstated, provided, however, that Senior Lender shall not be required to return or otherwise credit for the benefit of Borrower any default rate interest or other default related charges or payments received by Senior Lender during such Senior Loan Default.
7. Default Under Senior Loan Documents.
(a) Notice of Senior Loan Default and Cure Rights.
Senior Lender shall deliver to Subordinate Lender a Default Notice within five (5) Business Days in each case where Senior Lender has given a Default Notice to Borrower. Failure of Senior Lender to send a Default Notice to Subordinate Lender shall not prevent the exercise of Senior Lender’s rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Section 7(a), nor shall such failure constitute a default by Senior Lender under this Agreement.
Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Senior Loan Default within sixty (60) days following the date of such Default Notice or the date on which Subordinate Lender otherwise acquires actual knowledge of Senior Loan Default; provided, however, that Senior Lender shall be entitled during such sixty (60) day period to continue to pursue its remedies under the Senior Loan Documents. Subordinate Lender may have up to ninety (90) days from the date of the Default Notice to cure a non-monetary default if during such ninety (90) day period Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required by the Senior Loan

2 Documents. In the event that such a non-monetary default creates an unacceptable level of risk relative to the Mortgaged Property, or Senior Lender’s secured position relative to the Mortgaged Property, as determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion, then Senior Lender may exercise during such ninety (90) day period all available rights and remedies to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property and the rents, revenues and other proceeds from the Mortgaged Property. All amounts paid by Subordinate Lender to Senior Lender to cure a Senior Loan Default shall be deemed to have been advanced by Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the Subordinate Mortgage.
(b) Cross Default.
Subordinate Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in the Subordinate Mortgage, a Senior Loan Default shall not constitute a default under the Subordinate Mortgage (if no other default has occurred under the Subordinate Mortgage) until either Senior Lender has accelerated the maturity of the Senior Loan, or Senior Lender has taken affirmative action to exercise its rights under the Senior Loan Documents to collect rent, to appoint (or seek the appointment of) a receiver or to foreclose on (or to exercise a power of sale contained in) the Senior Loan Documents. At any time after a Senior Loan Default is determined to constitute a default under the Subordinate Mortgage, Subordinate Lender shall be permitted to pursue its remedies for default under the Subordinate Mortgage, subject to the restrictions and limitations of this Agreement. If at any time Borrower cures any Senior Loan Default to the satisfaction of Senior Lender, as evidenced by written notice from Senior Lender to Subordinate Lender, any default under the Subordinate Mortgage arising from such Senior Loan Default shall be deemed cured and the Subordinate Mortgage shall be retroactively reinstated as if such Senior Loan Default had never occurred.
8. Conflict.
Borrower, Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender each agrees that, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinate Mortgage and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control solely as to the following: the relative priority of the security interests of Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender in the Mortgaged Property; the timing of the exercise of remedies by Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender under the Senior Loan Documents and the Subordinate Mortgage, respectively; and solely as between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender, the notice requirements, cure rights, and the other rights and obligations which Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender have agreed to as expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not, and shall not be deemed to: extend Borrower’s time to cure any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Mortgage Default, as the case may be; give Borrower the right to notice of any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Mortgage Default, as the case may be other than that, if any, provided, respectively under the Senior Loan Documents or the Subordinate Mortgage; or create any other right or benefit for Borrower as against Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender; or modify any of Borrower’s obligations under the Covenant.

2 9. Rights and Obligations of Subordinate Lender Under the Subordinate Mortgage and of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.
Subject to each of the other terms of this Agreement, all of the following provisions shall supersede any provisions of the Subordinate Mortgage covering the same subject matter:
(a) Protection of Security Interest.
Subordinate Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender in each instance, take any action which has the effect of increasing the indebtedness outstanding under, or secured by, the Subordinate Mortgage, except that Subordinate Lender shall have the right to advance funds to cure Senior Loan Defaults pursuant to Section 7(a) and advance funds pursuant to the Subordinate Mortgage for the purpose of paying real estate taxes and insurance premiums, making necessary repairs to the Mortgaged Property and curing other defaults by Borrower under the Subordinate Mortgage.
(b) Condemnation or Casualty.
Following the occurrence of a Condemnation Action, or a fire or other casualty resulting in damage to all or a portion of the Mortgaged Property (collectively, a “Casualty”), at any time or times when the Senior Security Instrument remains a lien on the Mortgaged Property the following provisions shall apply:
(A) Subordinate Lender hereby agrees that its rights (under the Subordinate Mortgage or otherwise) to participate in any proceeding or action relating to a Condemnation Action or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any settlement of, or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Condemnation Action or a Casualty shall be and remain subject and subordinate in all respects to Senior Lender’s rights under the Senior Loan Documents with respect thereto, and Subordinate Lender shall be bound by any settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Condemnation Action or a Casualty made by Senior Lender; provided, however, this subsection or anything contained in this Agreement shall not limit the rights of Subordinate Lender to file any pleadings, documents, claims or notices with the appropriate court with jurisdiction over the proposed Condemnation Action or Casualty; and
(B) all proceeds received or to be received on account of a Condemnation Action or a Casualty, or both, shall be applied (either to payment of the costs and expenses of repair and restoration or to payment of the Senior Loan) in the manner determined by Senior Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if Senior Lender elects to apply such proceeds to payment of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Loan, any proceeds remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Loan shall be paid to, and may be applied

2 by, Subordinate Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Subordinate Mortgage, provided however, Senior Lender agrees to consult with Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds, provided further, however, that in the event of any disagreement between Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of Senior Lender, in its sole discretion, shall prevail.
(c) Insurance.
Subordinate Lender agrees that all original policies of insurance required pursuant to the Senior Security Instrument shall be held by Senior Lender. The preceding sentence shall not preclude Subordinate Lender from requiring that it be named as a loss payee, as its interest may appear, under all policies of property damage insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, provided such action does not affect the priority of payment of the proceeds of property damage insurance under the Senior Security Instrument, or that it be named as an additional insured under all policies of liability insurance maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
(d) No Modification of Subordinate Mortgage.
Borrower and Subordinate Lender each agree that, until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, it will not, without the prior written consent of Senior Lender in each instance, increase the amount of the Subordinate Mortgage, increase the required payments due under the Subordinate Mortgage, decrease the term of the Subordinate Mortgage, increase the interest rate on the Subordinate Mortgage, or otherwise amend the Subordinate Mortgage terms in a manner that creates an adverse effect upon Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents. Any amendment of the Subordinate Mortgage or assignment of Subordinate Lender’s interest in the Subordinate Mortgage without Senior Lender’s consent shall be void ab initio and of no effect whatsoever.
10. Modification or Refinancing of Senior Loan.
Subordinate Lender consents to any agreement or arrangement in which Senior Lender waives, postpones, extends, reduces or modifies any provisions of the Senior Loan Documents, including any provision requiring the payment of money. Subordinate Lender further agrees that its agreement to subordinate hereunder shall extend to any new mortgage debt which is for the purpose of refinancing all or any part of the Senior Loan (including reasonable and necessary costs associated with the closing and/or the refinancing); and that all the terms and covenants of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any holder of any such refinanced debt; and that all references to the Senior Loan, the Senior Note, the Senior Loan Agreement, the Senior Security Instrument, the Senior Loan Documents and Senior Lender shall mean, respectively, the refinance loan, the refinance note loan agreement, the mortgage securing the refinance note, all documents evidencing securing or otherwise pertaining to the refinance note and the holder of the refinance note.

SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF THE WYLAND FOUNDATION'S 2023 NATIONAL
MAYOR'S CHALLENGE FOR WATER CONSERVATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution in support of the Wyland Foundation's 2023 National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Founded in 1993, the Wyland Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving the world’s oceans, waterways, and marine life. Through partnerships with public, non-profit, and private sector organizations that share its mission, the Wyland Foundation encourages environmental awareness through community events, education programs, and public art projects.
In 2012, the Wyland Foundation created the first annual National Mayor’s Water Conservation Challenge with the support of Mayors and participation of cities throughout the nation. The Water Conservation Challenge is a national community service campaign that encourages Mayors, as local community leaders, to encourage residents in their cities/communities to make a series of simple pledges at mywaterpledge.com to use water more efficiently, reduce pollution, and save energy.
Due to the success of the national campaign and increased participation of cities and communities to achieve the goal of water conservation, the Wyland Foundation’s National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation continues to be held on an annual
5.3 5.3 Staff Report
43 basis. To ensure Foster City’s participation in this water education and conservation initiative, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution in support of the Wyland Foundation’s 2023 National Challenge for Water Conservation.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Wyland Foundation’s 2023 National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation is the 12th annual nationwide community service campaign, which takes place between April 1, 2023 and April 30, 2023. Last year, residents from over 2,000 cities in all 50 U.S. states pledged to reduce their annual consumption of freshwater by over 1 billion gallons, reduce waste sent to landfills by 35 million pounds, and preventing nearly one hundred thousand pounds of hazardous waste from entering watersheds.
Community benefits for participating in the water conservation campaign include the following:
•Save costs for consumers
•Save infrastructure and operating costs for cities
•Protect watersheds and ecosystems
•Promote drought resiliency
•Reward residents and community members for positive resource conservation behavior
•Provide immediate feedback with real-time city by city results that can be measured and compared to neighboring cities
The State of California has experienced severe drought conditions. In response, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a Proclamation on July 8, 2021 declaring a State of Emergency in effect in 50 counties throughout the state, including San Mateo County. In tandem with the Proclamation, Governor Newsom issued State of California Executive Order N-10-21 establishing a voluntary statewide water conservation target of 15% from their 2020 levels. As cities and communities throughout the state continue to engage in water conservation efforts to meet the voluntary statewide targets, the City Council’s adoption of the attached resolution will affirm Foster City’s commitment to sustainability and water resource conservation.
At the April 4, 2022 City Council Regular Meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution expressing support for the 2022 National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation.
Following that meeting, City staff registered the City of Foster City to participate in the water conservation challenge.
Based on the number of residents making the pledge and participating in the challenge, Wyland Foundation noted the following metrics for Foster City:
•Water savings – 573,470 gallons of water
5.3 5.3 Staff Report
44 •Electricity savings – 41,472 kilowatt hours
•Consumer cost savings in the amount of $7,368
•Reduction of 1,557 single-use plastic water bottles
•Elimination of 40 pounds of hazardous waste from entering watersheds •Reduction of 16,357 pounds of waste contributed to landfills •Reduction of 2.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide emitted Should the City Council approve the second year of participation in the challenge, City staff will continue to coordinate community outreach efforts through multiple mediums/platforms used by the City, including, but not limited to: press release, newsletter, Simplicity, and social media. Participating in the challenge will provide the Foster City community with the opportunity to learn about water resources and infrastructure, conserve water, reduce pollution, and help alleviate the severe drought conditions experienced in the region and state.

SUBJECT: STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT (CIP 301-697) - NOTICE
OF COMPLETION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution: 1) accepting the work performed by Radius Earthwork, Inc. (Radius) for the construction of Street Rehabilitation Project (CIP 301-697) and directing the City Clerk to file the Notice of Completion (NOC); and 2) finding the approval of the Resolution is categorically exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(b) Existing Facilities.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIP 301-697 consisted of roadway improvements, including slurry sealing and grinding and overlaying selected roadways on residential streets, replacement of traffic signage, reconstruction of non-compliant curb ramps, and restriping crosswalks and roadways.
The work has been completed in conformance with the contract documents. It is recommended that the City Council accept the work and direct the City Clerk to file the NOC.
BACKGROUND
5.4 5.4 Staff Report
48 City Resolution No. 2022-67, adopted on June 20, 2022, approved the execution of a construction contract with Radius Earthwork, Inc. in the amount of $1,337,300 for CIP 301-697, established a project contingency of $162,000 and appropriated $60,000 to the existing project budget for funds previously collected from Gilead Sciences, Inc. to be used towards the City’s pavement management program.
Construction began in September 2022 and was substantially completed on November 22, 2022. Day to day construction management and inspection services were performed by in-house staff. The contractor has completed all punch list items of work.
ANALYSIS
Prior to construction, a portion of Boothbay Avenue (Galveston Street to Port Royal Avenue) was removed from the scope of work because it had recently been resurfaced by PG&E. As a substitute, Bounty Drive, from Foster City Boulevard to Shell Boulevard, was added to CIP 301-697.
The construction work consisted of localized base repairs, full-width grinding, asphalt overlays, crack sealing, slurry sealing, striping, and signage improvements. In conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, non-compliant curb ramps were upgraded as well.
The following streets were either slurry sealed or ground and overlayed as part of this project: Shell Boulevard (E. Hillsdale Avenue to Shell Bridge), Bounty Drive (Comet Drive to Shell Boulevard), Dolphin Isle, Boothbay Avenue (Edgewater Boulevard to Galveston Street), Chesapeake Avenue (Biscayne Avenue to Boothbay Avenue), Nantucket Street, and Port Royal Avenue (Edgewater Boulevard to Boothbay Avenue).
Signage and curb ramps were updated as needed along the project sites.
There was one change order (CCO #1) issued, which resulted in a credit of $169,441.77 to the City. CCO #1 was the balancing change order which adjusted the final quantities of the original contract to reflect actual quantities constructed.

SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL
PROGRESS REPORT FOR 2022
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by minute order, receive and accept the General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) and Housing Element APR for 2022.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
California Government Code 65400 requires each jurisdiction to prepare an annual report on the status of the General Plan and provide information regarding the implementation of the General Plan for their city or county, including the Housing Element. The APR includes information for decision makers to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period. On February 16, 2023, the Planning Commission received the General Plan APR and recommended City Council acceptance by Resolution No. P-01-23. Following Council’s acceptance of the APR, the report will be filed with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) before April 1, 2023.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code 65400 requires that after the legislative body (City Council) has adopted all or part of a General Plan, the planning agency (Planning Commission)
6.1 6.1 Staff Report
54 1
4 1
shall review an annual report on the status of the General Plan progress and its implementation and provide the report to the legislative body. The APR is then forwarded to OPR and HCD by April 1 of each year. The Government Code also includes specific requirements for information about the status of Housing Element programs and progress in meeting its share of the Regional Housing Need Allocations (RHNA) issued by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).
On February 16, 2023, Staff presented the General Plan and Housing Element APR for 2022 to the Planning Commission. Overall, the Commission was satisfied with the report and voted 5-0-0-0 recommending City Council acceptance of the General Plan APR for 2022. See Planning Commission Resolution No. P-01-23 (Attachment 1).
ANALYSIS
All cities in California are required to prepare and adopt a General Plan. The General Plan identifies policies and programs addressing the development and redevelopment of land, preservation of parks and open spaces, provision of housing for current and future residents, conservation of natural resources, improvement of the circulation and transportation system, control of noise and protection of life and property from hazards.
The purpose of the APR is to provide local legislative bodies (Planning Commission and City Council) and the public with information regarding the implementation of the General Plan for their city or county, including Housing Element. APRs also inform the public of the progress in meeting the community’s goals. The APR should provide enough information for decision makers to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period. More specifically, APRs should explain how land use decisions relate to adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan.
As discussed above, the APR is due to HCD by April 1 of each year. This year’s APR evaluates the status of the implementation programs and housing production for the time period between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.
The attached Table (see Attachment 2) comprises the General Plan APR and provides a brief summary of the status of the General Plan and the implementation programs contained in each General Plan Element. The status of the Housing Element implementation is part of the General Plan Annual Report reported in the table format required by HCD.
Highlights of accomplishments in the implementation of General Plan programs in 2022 are included below with the corresponding references to the General Plan Element Implementation Program:
•Housing Element

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Progress
Legislation, such as Senate Bill 35 (SB 35), Assembly Bill 73 (AB 73), and Senate Bill 570 (SB 570) adopted in 2017, has provided penalties and incentives related to making progress toward meeting RHNA for the 2015-2023 Planning Period. HCD released a report on June 18, 2022 the SB 35 Statewide Determination Summary, showing that Foster City was one of 38 jurisdictions in the state that have met their prorated RHNA numbers for the latest reporting period and latest APR (2021). 1 The SB 35 Summary report also states that all other cities and counties are not on track to meet their housing needs. Those jurisdictions will now lose the ability to reject certain types of development projects under SB 35. Cities and counties are subject to SB 35 streamlining when they fall behind on submitting APRs and/or in meeting less than the prorated portion of their RHNA. A total of 263 jurisdictions are subject to the streamlined ministerial approval process for proposed developments with at least 10% affordability and another 238 jurisdictions are subject to this process when proposed developments 1 https://www.hcd.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2022-06/sb35_statewidedeterminationsummary.pdf

have at least 50% affordability. The progress is prorated and recalculated each year until the mid-point of the Housing Element Reporting Period, and then recalculated again at the end of the Period. The first half of the Reporting Period for SB35 for ABAG ended with the 2018 report. The review process will start again with the next Housing Element Cycle that will cover 2023-2031.
Assembly Bill (AB) 1743 Compliance:
AB 1743 requires local planning agencies to include in their APR whether housing development applications are subject to a ministerial or discretionary approval process.
Therefore, the following reporting only pertains to development applications that result in new units and not applications that are remodeling of existing homes or additions to existing homes.
In 2022, three (3) housing development applications were received that would result in new units. One of the three (3) projects required discretionary action for a proposed 420 units and the other two (2) were ministerial (ADUs). Additionally, there were three (3) building permits that were applied for in 2021 but finalized and approved in 2022. More detailed information pertaining to Building permit issuance is available in Table A2 of Attachment 3.
AB 2094 Compliance:
AB 2094 requires local planning agencies to include in their APR its progress toward meeting its share of regional housing needs for extremely low-income households. It also requires reporting associated with the Affordable Housing and High Roads Jobs Act of 2022 (AB 2011), including: (1) the location of the project; (2) the status of the project; (3) total number of units of the project; (4) number of units in the project that are rental housing; (5) number of units in the project that are for-sale housing; and (6) household income category of the units. It also requires data from all approved projects to receive a density bonus from a local agency.
A summary of housing development permits issued showing progress toward meeting the RHNA is shown below. Table 1, Planning Period Permits Issued by Affordability for RHNA 2015-2023 reports on how many permits were issued each year. Table 2, Units Completed as of June 30, 2022 for RHNA 2015-2023 reports RHNA progress of all permits completed (built and occupied) by affordability in all cycles pertaining to the 2015- 2023 Housing Element. The difference in the numbers provided in the two tables below (about 70 units) is a result of units that have been approved but not yet occupied until 2023. Furthermore, the City did not receive any density bonus for any housing development in 2022.

Housing Element Program Implementation
The Housing Element includes several programs to ensure that adequate housing sites are available during the 2015-2023 planning period to make it possible to produce the number and type of housing units in the RHNA. Please refer to Table D in Attachment 3 for Housing Element - Program Implementation Status. These programs were part of the package that was the basis for certification of the Housing Element by HCD. One of the key programs is the application of an Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) Combining District (H-D-2-b Affordable Housing Overlay Combining District, H-D-2-c Rezoning with Affordable Housing Overlay District, H-D-2-d Design Criteria for Affordable Housing Overlay District) on several existing apartment developments.

2018
City staff, Essex, and HIF (Housing Industry Foundation) met on a weekly basis to discuss housing placement progress, other strategies, resources, and other updates regarding the expiration of the affordability covenant at Foster's Landing.
In 2020, the City worked with Essex Properties on an agreement to set aside approximately $800,000 in rental assistance for the tenants at Foster's Landing to be able to remain in affordable units for another year. This was made possible by a 50/50 split between Essex and the City, for the below market rate tenants at Foster's Landing affected by the expiration of the affordable housing covenant to prevent homelessness. City Council approved the Post BMR Expiration Rent Agreement on 9/18/2020. In 2021, the City in partnership with Essex Properties, provided approximately $454,626.94 in rental subsidies in order to extend the affordability of the Phase I Units at Foster's Landing.
On February 1, 2021, the City Council approved the Early Relocation Assistance Program which aims to provide the residents of Foster’s Landing Below Market Rate Program, scheduled to expire between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2023, with financial assistance to off-set the up-front cost associated with relocating and assist the residents in finding replacement housing and minimize the impacts of the expiration of the affordability covenants. To date, the City and Essex has processed 16 applications totalling approximately $109,969.36 in relocation assistance.
On January 14, 2021, the City applied for the Permanent Local Housing Assistance (PLHA) Grant from San Mateo County and was awarded $643,636 to fund the Relocation Services & Rent Subsidy Program.
On September 20, 2021, the City executed an agreement with HIF for $100,000 to Provide Tenant Relocation Services and administer the Emergency Rental Subsidy Program for the tenants at Foster's Landing to minimize the impacts of the expiration of the affordability covenants.
On September 1, 2021, the City and the County of San Mateo Department of Housing executed an Agreement to provide funds for the City's Emergency Relocation Assistance and Rent Subsidies Program.
In 2022, the City staff worked with HIF to provide 10 tenants with Emergency Subsidy while they explore relocation options. As of December 31, 2022, a total of nine tenants remain on site and in the program. The City plans to continue implementing the program for the years 2023 - 2024.

SUBJECT: AWARD OF AN AGREEMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
AND SUPPORT SERVICES WITH GRIFFIN STRUCTURES FOR THE
RECREATION CENTER REBUILD PROJECT (CIP 301-678)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing:
1. The Mayor to execute the attached agreement with Griffin Structures in the amount not-to-exceed $1,890,000 to provide construction management and support services for the Recreation Center Replacement Project (CIP 301-678); and
2. A project contingency in the amount of $283,500 with authority given to the City Manager to execute contract amendments up to the contingency amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Recreation Center is nearly 50 years old and necessary investment in infrastructure improvements are required to meet current structural, seismic, and programmatic needs; as well as emergency shelter readiness. CIP 301-678 involves the replacement of the City’s Recreation Center using a build-to-budget approach.
Execution of the consultant agreement with Griffin Structures will allow the process for the new Recreation Center to proceed. The consultant agreement will include pre- construction assistance, plan checking, bidding, construction management, project closeout, post construction and warranty inspections. Griffin Structures was selected from six (6) firms that submitted proposals. The fees in the amount of $1,890,000 have been negotiated and determined reasonable based on the scope of services. Funding in the amount of $2,173,500 is available in the approved project budget for construction

management services. With the execution of the agreement, Griffin Structures will begin work to perform pre-construction support services.
BACKGROUND
In 2016, the City Council began exploring a rebuild of the Recreation Center. The City Council first authorized a Recreation Center Master Plan Study as a component of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017 budget and received extensive public outreach during that time as a first step in developing a Recreation Center Master Plan. In FY 2017-2018, the project was added to the 5-Year Capital Improvement Program to identify initial and on- going funding for the project and the City Council took further steps to identify the issues and estimated costs to address the Center and its surroundings to meet the current and future recreation needs of the community. In FY 2018-2019, the City Council received the Conceptual Design Plan Report and in 2019 agreed on a design concept, but ultimately opted for a "build to budget" project scope and the project was also placed on hold.
In 2021, the City Council requested to revisit the Recreation Center Project. At the regular City Council meeting on August 2, 2021, staff provided a status update on the project including an update on the project’s community engagement process and draft Recreation Center and Parks System Survey. The community survey was used to validate programming and use options, and how those may have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At City Council Special Meeting on January 31, 2022, staff presented the survey results including funding options and additional information regarding the build process and design options. The City Council accepted the survey results and proposed to move forward with the “build-to-budget” option with a not-to- exceed budget of $55 million.
On November 21, 2022, the City Council awarded the professional design, bidding, and construction support services to Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc. Group 4 Architecture will also be preparing the analysis of the environmental review for the project. The project is currently in the program confirmation/schematic design phase, which began in January 2023, and expected to extend through construction of the project which is anticipated to be completed in 2026.
ANALYSIS
On December 5, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-133 authorizing staff to issue the Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide construction management support services for the Project.
The RFP was posted on the Foster City website and distributed to consulting firms. The City received six (6) proposals by the end of the advertisement period. Staff reviewed the submitted proposals based on a qualification-based selection process and narrowed it down to the following three (3) firms for an in-person presentation and interview:
•Gilbane Building Company
7.1 7.1 Staff Report
141
•Swinerton Management & Consulting
•Griffin Structures
An evaluation committee that included representation from the Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation Department, and Group 4 Architecture attended the interview.
Following the interview process, the evaluation committee deliberated and determined Griffin Structures to be the best firm for the project. Griffin Structures has put together an exceptional team of consultants encompassing all the necessary fields to complete the project. They are a well-established company with significant experience performing similar work on like projects throughout the peninsula. Out of all the firms, Griffin Structures understood Foster City’s needs and were the most qualified.
The proposal from Griffin Structures was reviewed and the fee negotiated in the amount of $1,890,000. The fees were determined reasonable and fall within the customary range for construction management services of this magnitude and terms of the discounts were determined reasonable.
The scope of services for this project includes pre-construction assistance, plan checking, bidding, construction management, inspections, project closeout, post construction, warranty inspections, etc.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Approval of this agreement for pre-construction services with Griffin Structures is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et. seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as this is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. The environmental analysis for the Recreation Center Rebuild Project itself is being conducted by Group 4 Architecture.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed fees in the amount of $1,890,000 have been negotiated and determined reasonable based on the scope of services. Additionally, a project contingency in the amount of $283,500 or 15% of the contract amount is recommended to pay for additional services to mitigate unforeseen tasks or for additional services that may be required.
The City Council’s approval of the attached resolution will allow staff to proceed with the pre-construction portion of the project. Staff anticipates that the construction management phase and closeout will be completed by June 2026.
