18 indicated herein. Each insurance policy supplied by consultant shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled or reduced in coverage or in limits except after ten (10) days written notice by Consultant in the case of non-payment of premiums, or thirty (30) days written notice in all other cases. This notice requirement does not waive the insurance requirements stated herein. Consultant shall immediately obtain replacement coverage for any insurance policy that is terminated, canceled, non-renewed, or whose policy limits have been exhausted or upon insolvency of the insurer that issued the policy.

3.2 All insurance shall be issued by a company or companies admitted to do business in California and listed in the current "Best's Key Rating Guide" publication with a minimum rating of A-; VII Any exception to these requirements must be approved by the City Risk Manager.

3.6 Failure by Consultant to maintain all such insurance in effect at all times required by this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Consultant. City, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and obtain damages from Consultant resulting from said breach.

Any failure by City to take this alternative action shall not relieve Consultant of its obligation to obtain and maintain the insurance coverages required by this Agreement.

21 EXHIBIT E
COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Consulting Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between the City of Foster City hereinafter called "CITY” and [______________________] (“Consultant”) dated [______________].

1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.

B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant (which for purposes herein includes all subconsultants) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant and which are beyond its reasonable control.

C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Consultant acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Consultant’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, the Consultant shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.

D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Consultant did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Consultant submitted its proposal. The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Consultant will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.

E. An “Unknown COVID-19 Cost” is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Consultant’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subconsultants failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.

2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Consultant is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 Conditions must be accounted for in the Consultant’s price and schedule. In order to be entitled to any relief from a COVID19 Condition, the Consultant must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.

3. Compliance with COVID-19 Proclamations.

A. Consultant shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of the Services. The cost of such compliance is non-compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

B. Consultant is responsible to ensure that its subconsultants and suppliers comply with COVID19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.

4. Delay. The Consultant is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.

5. City Directed Suspension. The City may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Consultant may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations. The City may suspend the Services for its convenience. The Consultant is entitled to a Item 5.4

Page 250 of 654 ends

22 time extension for a City Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Consultant incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.

6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City will reimburse the Consultant for costs attributable to COVID-19, and which are not included in the schedule of values, only if the cost is an Unknown COVID19 Cost.

7. Safe Work Practices. Consultant shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subconsultants, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Consultant remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.

8. Monitoring and Reporting. City may require the Consultant to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID-19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Consultant shall immediately report to City any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Consultant shall not knowingly allow any worker who has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City building. In the event of an outbreak or an exposure to COVID-19, the City may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.

9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City and Consultant have executed this Covid-19 Amendment as of the date set forth above.

Item 5.4

Page 252 of 654 ends

2 1. Term; Termination.
(a) The term of this Agreement shall commence upon the date hereinabove written and shall expire upon completion of performance of services hereunder by CONSULTANT.

(c) CITY may terminate performance of the Services under this Agreement in whole, or from time to time in part, for default, should CONSULTANT commit a material breach of this Agreement, or part thereof, and not cure such breach within ten (10) calendar days of the date of CITY’s written notice to CONSULTANT demanding such cure, in which case CONSULTANT shall be liable to CITY for direct damages actually incurred by CITY to the extent caused by CONSULTANT’s uncured material breach. (d) CITY may terminate performance of the Services under this Agreement in whole, or from time to time in part, for convenience, by providing no less than seven (7) days’ written notice, whenever CITY determines that such termination is in CITY’s best interests, in which case CONSULTANT shall be entitled to recover its costs expended up to the termination date plus reasonable profit thereon to the termination date as this Agreement would otherwise provide, but may recover no other cost, damage or expense.

CONSULTANT shall continue its work throughout the course of any dispute, and CONSULTANT’s failure to continue work during a dispute shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

2. Compensation; Expenses; Payment. CITY shall compensate CONSULTANT for all services performed by CONSULTANT hereunder in an amount based upon CONSULTANT’s hourly rates during the time of the performance of said services. A copy of CONSULTANT’s hourly rates for which services hereunder shall be performed are set forth in CONSULTANT’s fee schedule marked Exhibit “C” hereof, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the combined total of compensation and reimbursement of costs payable hereunder shall not exceed the total amount identified in all Task Orders issued by the City against this agreement. The Consultant shall only be paid for services performed under this Agreement to the extent authorized by written Task Order. No Item 5.4

Page 253 of 654 ends

3 overhead or other expenses can be recovered for interim periods when the Consultant’s services are not utilized by the City. Invoices for amounts in excess of each Task Order shall not be paid unless the performance of services and/or reimbursement of costs and expenses in excess of said amounts have been approved in advance of performing such services or incurring such costs and expenses by CITY’s Manager (for contracts less than $50,000) or CITY Board (for contracts $50,000 or more) evidenced by motion duly made and carried and a written contract amendment having been executed.

CITY shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay acceptance of deliverables or payment of undisputed amounts.

In cases where CONSULTANT has partially completed one or more deliverables due during a payment period, and if CONSULTANT demonstrates diligent progress thereon, then CITY may make a partial progress payment based upon percentage completion of the partially completed deliverables and diligent progress but taking into account any adverse impacts upon CITY.

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment No. 3 to the Vendor Services Agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services to Remove Janitorial Services for the Temporary Modular Recreation Center Facilities from the Scope of Work

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving Contract Amendment No. 3 to the Vendor Services Agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services, dated September 3, 2024, to remove janitorial services for the temporary modular Recreation Center facilities from the Scope of Work, reducing the annual contract amount by $16,686, from $306,347 to $289,661; and finding that approval of the amendment is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
With construction of the new Community Center substantially complete, Recreation staff will begin transitioning operations from the temporary modular facilities to the new building. The temporary modular Recreation Center facilities are expected to no longer require janitorial services beginning October 1, 2026.

Item 5.5

Page 274 of 654 ends

Contract Amendment No. 3 would remove janitorial services for the temporary modular facilities from the existing Citywide janitorial services agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services, reducing the annual contract amount by $16,686, from $306,347 to $289,661.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
At its meeting on September 3, 2024, the City Council approved an agreement with Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services to provide Citywide janitorial services for two years, from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2026, with three optional one-year extensions through September 30, 2029.

Following approval of the Recreation Center Rebuild Project, the City Council approved Contract Amendment No. 1, which removed janitorial services for the former Recreation Center from the Scope of Work and added janitorial services for four temporary modular Recreation Center facilities located at the tennis courts for the duration of construction.

The amendment resulted in a net reduction of $57,312 to the annual contract amount.

Contract Amendment No. 2 subsequently added janitorial services for the second-floor office space at City Hall in the amount of $6,552 annually.

With the Recreation Center Rebuild Project substantially complete, staff will begin moving Recreation operations into the newly constructed Community Center. As a result, the temporary modular facilities are expected to no longer be needed beginning October 1, 2026.

Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services provided janitorial services for the approximately 4,320-square-foot temporary modular Recreation Center facilities at a cost of $1,350 per month, or $16,200 annually. Pursuant to Section 2 of the agreement, a 3% annual inflation adjustment increases this amount to $16,686. Contract Amendment No. 3 (Attachment 2) removes these services from the Scope of Work and reduces the annual contract amount accordingly.

The Contract Amendments are summarized as follows:

ANALYSIS
ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT $348,184
AMOUNT OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO ONE (1) ($57, 312)
Remove former Recreation Center and add temporary modular facilities AMOUNT OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO TWO (2) $6,552
Add City Hall second-floor office space
Item 5.5

Page 275 of 654 ends

REVISED CONTRACT AMOUNT $297,424
Including 3% CPI per agreement $306,347

AMOUNT OF CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO THREE (3) $(16,686)
$1,350 per month plus 3% CPI
Remove temporary modular Recreation Center facilities
TOTAL REVISED CONTRACT AMOUNT $289,661
While Julio's Cleaning and Maintenance Services will continue to provide Citywide janitorial services under the existing agreement, staff is separately seeking proposals for janitorial services for the newly constructed Community Center. Given the expanded size and scope of the facility, anticipated higher level of daily and event-related use, and additional operational needs associated with amenities such as the café, a separate contract will allow the City to establish staffing, frequencies, event support, and service levels specifically tailored to the Community Center's operations.

Staff will return to the City Council for approval of an agreement for Community Center janitorial services following completion of the procurement process.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The resolution approving the Contract Amendment 3 qualifies for CEQA’s common sense exemption, as CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. 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 activity is not subject to CEQA.Since this activity poses no significant environmental effect, it is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) .

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of the proposed contract amendment is reduced expenditures of $16,686 annually. Citywide Janitorial services are budgeted in Building Maintenance Account Number 505-0550-419-4251.

FROM: Priscilla Schaus, Communications Director/City Clerk DEPARTMENT: Communications/City Clerk
SUBJECT: Designated Positions in the City/District Conflict of Interest Code and AB1234 Ethics Training

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors adopt the attached City/District resolutions approving the Appendix dated September 21, 2026 to update the designated positions in the Conflict of Interest Code and to confirm the designated positions required to participate in AB 1234 Ethics Training.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act of 1974, approved by the voters, requires State and local government agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”). The City/District adopted a Code on February 7, 1983 pursuant to City Resolution No. 83-15 and EMID Resolution No. 1751. State law also requires the City/District to periodically update its Code by adopting by reference the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations §18730, as may, from time to time, be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The 2026 Local Agency Biennial Notice is required to be submitted to the City Council by October 1, 2026.

Item 5.7

Page 299 of 654 ends

The Code must list each position within the City/District that makes or participates in the making of governmental decisions. Individuals employed in these positions are called “designated employees.” In addition, certain consultants to public agencies must also file disclosure forms because they make or participate in making governmental decisions on behalf of the City/District.

The Code reviewing body for the City/District is the Council/Board. Periodically, the Code reviewing body, by resolution, must update the list of designated employees listed in the Appendix and make any other changes needed to comply with State law. The Code Appendix was last updated on September 16, 2024.This year, 3 amendments are recommended.

First, the Code has been amended to add the newly authorized Assistant Public Works Director position. The employee in the position of Assistant Public Works Director will be required to file yearly statements of economic interest using Categories 1, 2, and 3.

Second, the Code has been amended to reflect organizational changes in the maintenance and housing functions. The Building and Vehicle Maintenance Manager position has been replaced by the newly established Building/Fleet Maintenance Superintendent position, and the Housing Coordinator position has been replaced by the newly established Housing and Sustainability Manager position. Employees serving in the new positions will be required to file annual Statement of Economic Interest using Categories 4 and 6.

All necessary updates have been made and are shown in bold and/or strikeout in the attached Resolutions as required by the FPPC.

It is recommended that City Council/EMID Board of Directors review and adopt the attached amendments to the City/District’s Conflict Code.

Pursuant to Government Code section 53234(c)(2), the City Council may designate employees required to take the ethics training. The attached resolution for consideration specifies that all of the employees in the Appendix of the Code, as well as the City Manager and City Attorney, are required to take ethics training.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The approval of the Code and AB 1234 training 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.

(9) Section 9. Disqualification.

No designated employee shall make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use the employee's official position to influence the making of any governmental decision which the employee knows or has reason to know will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, on the official or a member of the official's immediate family or on:
(A) Any business entity in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or more;
(B) Any real property in which the designated employee has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 or more;
(C) Any source of income, other than gifts and other than loans by a commercial lending institution in the regular course of business on terms available to the public without regard to official status, aggregating $500 or more in value provided to, received by or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made; (D) Any business entity in which the designated employee is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management; or (E) Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating $500 or more provided to, received by, or promised to the designated employee within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made.
(9.3) Section 9.3. Legally Required Participation.

No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the extent the employee's participation is legally required for the decision to be made. 12 Item 5.7

Page 317 of 654 ends

129
The fact that the vote of a designated employee who is on a voting body is needed to break a tie does not make the employees' participation legally required for purposes of this section. (9.5) Section 9.5. Disqualification of State Officers and Employees.

In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, participate in making, or use the official's position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any contract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with whom the state administrative official, or any member of the official's immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the time when the official action is to be taken:
(A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding any investment or interest in real property; or (B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the rendering of goods or services totaling in value $1,000 or more. (10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest.

When a designated employee determines that the employee should not make a governmental decision because the employee has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying interest. (11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel.

Any designated employee who is unsure of the duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair Political Practices Commission pursuant to Section 83114 and Regulations 18329 and 18329.5 or from the attorney for the employee's agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the agency to issue any formal or informal opinion. (12) Section 12. Violations.
13 Item 5.7

Page 318 of 654 ends

130
This code has the force and effect of law. Designated employees violating any provision of this code are subject to the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000-91014. In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Section 91003.
1 Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's conflict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an original is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Section 81004. 2 See Section 81010 and Regulation 18115 for the duties of filing officers and persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer. 3 For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer.
4 Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $2,000 are not investments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act.

However, investments or interests in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse and dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater.
14 Item 5.7

Page 319 of 654 ends

131
5 A designated employee's income includes the employee's community property interest in the income of the employee's spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government agency. 6 Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure categories of the filer.

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT: Removal of the Underground Storage Tank as Part of the Emergency Generator Replacement Project (CIP 455-705) - Notice of Completion

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of Directors of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (District Board) adopt the attached resolution authorizing acceptance of the work performed by Patriot Environmental Services, Inc. (Patriot) for the removal of the Underground Storage Tank (UST) as part of the Emergency Generator Replacement Project (CIP 455-705) and directing the District Secretary to file the Notice of Completion.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIP 455-705 addresses the replacement of emergency generator systems (generators) and automatic transfer switch (ATS) equipment at ten (10) of the District’s lift stations.

CIP 455-705 also included the removal of an UST, day fuel tank and associated equipment which fuel the back-up generator at Lift Station 29. The current tank is no longer in use, and does not comply with current regulations. New fuel storage tanks must be installed above ground which will occur with the installation of the new Item 5.8

Page 334 of 654 ends

generator scheduled for Winter 2026, as part of the next phase of this project. The work has been completed by Patriot in conformance with the contract documents. It is recommended that the District Board accept the work and direct the District Secretary to file the Notice of Completion and close out the project.

BACKGROUND
CIP 455-705 was approved by the District Board as part of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget to address the replacement of emergency generators at ten (10) of the District’s wastewater lift stations (Lift Stations 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 22, 26, 29, 41 and 59).

The project scope includes the removal of a UST located within the Bank of America parking lot at 909 East Hillsdale Boulevard that fuels the back-up generator for Lift Station 29. The UST had experienced ongoing failures in passing line tightness tests, which checks if the underground fuel pipes are leaking and has recently failed an acoustic monitoring inspection, which uses sensors to detect corrosion/leaks, conducted by San Mateo County Health’s Environmental Health Services (SMCEHS). Although decommissioned, testing is required to be conducted annually until the tank‘s final removal. In March 2025, staff decided to expedite the removal of the UST, ahead of construction of the Emergency Generator Replacement Project, to avoid further violations and potential fees. The work included the removal of the day fuel tank, conduit, wiring, and equipment connected to the UST both inside and outside of the Bank of America building. The existing generator remains in the building and will be replaced with a new generator during the next phase of the project.

Freyer & Laureta, Inc. (F&L) developed the construction documents for the project and assisted with permitting. Bids for the construction of CIP 455-705 were solicited through an informal bidding process as outlined in Chapter 3.04.190 - Purchasing System, of the Foster City Municipal Code.

On January 20, 2026, the District Board adopted EMID Resolution No. 3830 authorizing the award of a construction contract to Patriot in the amount of $162,227 for the removal of the underground storage tank as part of CIP 455-705 and the establishment of a contingency in the amount of $32,000.

ANALYSIS
Construction began on April 20,2026 and was substantially completed on May 21, 2026.

Day-to-day construction management and inspection services were performed by MCK America, Inc. with environmental testing of the adjacent soils where the tank was located was performed by Haley & Aldrich. The project required a permit from and coordination with SMCEHS. SMCEHS has inspected the project and verified there were no contaminations found. On August 20, 2026, SMCEHS accepted and finalized the Item 5.8

Page 335 of 654 ends

closure of the tank. The contractor has completed all punch list items of work and the final invoice for the work has been received.

Over the construction period, there was one (1) contract change order (CCO) issued, totaling $28,975.14. CCO #1 pays for the costs of over excavation, additional soils disposal, and additional backfill and pavement restoration due to the actual tank size being larger than what was shown on the record drawings.

Given that Patriot has completed its work in conformance with the contract documents, it is recommended that the District Board accept the work and direct the District Secretary to file the Notice of Completion for the project.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
On January 20, 2026, the Board of Directors determined that the project was categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15301 (Class 1, Existing Facilities).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff received 36 applications for YAC for the 2026–2027 school year. Twenty-four candidates scheduled interviews for the five open positions, while 10 returning members were invited to continue serving based on their previous term and overall participation.

Based on the selection process and evaluation, staff recommend the above 15 applicants be appointed to YAC for the 2026–2027 school year.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) was established to encourage greater youth involvement in Foster City and provide young people with a meaningful voice in the community. The Committee’s goal is to explore youth/teen issues and report recommendations and results to City Council.

YAC has operated with 15 members since 2011, when the City Council supported reducing the Committee from 25 members. The 15-member structure allows for representation across schools and grade levels while providing members with meaningful opportunities to participate, work collaboratively, and take an active role in planning and implementing YAC activities.

The YAC size is large enough to efficiently plan and implement activities; all members can actively participate and work as a team; and the Parks and Recreation Department staff liaison is able to spend more time guiding and advising each individual member.

Staff and YAC members saw a need to create the classification of ‘Member-at-Large’ positions due to the overwhelming interest in being involved in YAC activities.

Members-at-Large do not sign the YAC commitment contract and do not have voting privileges. They do, however, attend meetings and participate in YAC activities. The addition of Members-at-Large meets the needs of the Foster City youth when they cannot commit to attending of the required committee meetings. Members-at-Large positions are open to anyone who wants to be involved in YAC and provide an additional opportunity for applicants who are not selected for an official position.

The process of choosing YAC committee members includes reviewing completed application forms and responses to questions that focus on the applicant’s involvement in school and community activities. The following criteria are used to select applicants:
• Outstanding level of commitment in previous years serving on the YAC • Involvement in community activities
• Application
Item 6.1

Page 342 of 654 ends

• Interview
• Overall School Representation
• Overall Grade Representation
In April 2026, Staff Liaison Madeline Dietzman and a Recreation Leader III conducted interviews for the YAC. A total of 36 applications were received, with 24 candidates scheduling an interview for the five open positions. The remaining 10 positions were filled by returning YAC members who were invited to continue serving based on their previous term and overall participation.

Candidates were evaluated based on their application and interview responses. The interview process focused on their interest in YAC, ability to work effectively in a team setting, availability and commitment to dedicating time to the committee, and creativity in developing ideas and activities they would like to bring to YAC. Staff considered each candidate’s overall responses and ability to work collaboratively toward the committee’s goals when making selections, while also considering school and grade representation as part of the overall composition of the committee.

Selected candidates are notified in May regarding their placement for the upcoming YAC term. Overall, the selection process helps ensure that new members are engaged, committed, collaborative, and excited to contribute to the committee.

For the next recruitment cycle, staff will continue to evaluate returning YAC members based on their participation, attendance, engagement, and overall contribution. To increase transparency, staff will clearly communicate the selection process and criteria, use a consistent evaluation rubric, and keep all applicants informed of their status and selection timeline. Returning members recommended to continue will still complete the application process and be formally considered alongside new applicants.

Upon City Council approval, YAC would consist of fifteen active members for the 2026- 27 school year.

Staff recommends that the above applicants be appointed as outlined in this staff report.

SUBJECT: Draft Report for Real Estate Economic Market Analysis

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council, by Minute Order, receive and accept the final Update on the Real Estate Economic Market Analysis and provide direction on any desired revisions for incorporation into the Draft Real Estate Economic Market Analysis (Draft Report) for the adoption of the Final Report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Foster City (City) initiated a Real Estate Economic Market Analysis (Analysis) to provide the City with a data-driven understanding of current and emerging real estate and economic conditions in response to changing market dynamics, evolving demographic trends, and long-term development pressures that relate to the City. To support this initiative, on February 2, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with Kosmont Companies (Kosmont) to conduct an independent Analysis to assess market trends and cycles, demographic trends, supply and demand dynamics, economic indicators, evaluate future needs, and provide strong baseline data that will be used to inform actionable strategies to guide sustainable growth and economic development.

Over, the course of the Analysis, Kosmont presented three (3) updates to the City Council, including an initial overview of the Analysis’ scope and methodology, followed by Updates #1 and #2.

Item 7.1

Page 350 of 654 ends

Update #1, presented on April 20, 2026, included population and psychographic analysis; an evaluation of the City’s economic base; an assessment of office, industrial/flex (R&D), retail, and hotel market conditions; and an analysis of visitation patterns and retail spending leakage. Update #2, presented on July 20, 2026, provided an overview of the stakeholder and community feedback and presented an overview of 10 opportunity sites and their potential for development, redevelopment, or repurposing based on market conditions and community priorities.

This final presentation from Kosmont focuses on the Draft Report, integrating the results and findings of Updates #1 and #2, providing an overview of the City’s economic and market outlook, and establishing a five-year framework of goals, strategies and implementation actions to support the City’s long-term economic vitality.

Staff requests that the City Council provide direction on any desired revisions for incorporation into the Draft Report. Following the City Council’s discussion and direction, staff will incorporate any requested revisions and return to the City Council with the Final Report for adoption at a future meeting.

BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2025, staff issued an RFP to qualified consultants to conduct an independent professional Real Estate Economic Market Analysis. The RFP included the following five (5) components:
 Citywide Real Estate Economic Market Assessment
 Population and Psychographic Analysis
 Identify Future Economic Development Needs
 City Council Engagement and Review Process
 Stakeholder and Community Engagement
On February 2, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with Kosmont to conduct an independent, professional Real Estate Economic Market Analysis. Subsequently, on February 10, 2026, during the City Council retreat, Ken Hira, President of Kosmont, presented a brief overview of the Analysis’ scope and methodology, followed by questions from Council members. In March, the consultant team held one-on-one meetings with individual Council members to further understand Council priorities and their vision for the Study. The consultant team then began collecting data and reviewing the City’s real estate sectors using a variety of sources and analytical tools.

On April 20, 2026, Kosmont presented Update #1, which included population and psychographic analysis, an evaluation of the City’s economic base, an assessment of office, industrial/flex (R&D), retail, and hotel market conditions, and an analysis of visitation patterns and retail spending leakage. Following Update #1, Kosmont and City staff conducted extensive stakeholder and community engagement, including two (2) community meetings, four (4) focus group meetings, 17 stakeholder meetings, and a Item 7.1

Page 351 of 654 ends

community survey. Based on stakeholder, community, and Council feedback, Kosmont compiled a list of opportunity sites and evaluated them for their potential for development, redevelopment, or repurposing based on market conditions and community priorities.

On July 20, 2026, Kosmont presented Update #2 including the following:
• Overview of Community and Stakeholder Engagement
• Evaluation of 10 Opportunity Sites and their development/redevelopment potential, including the following:
o Vacant parcel at the corner of Metro Center Blvd and Shell Blvd. o 1010 Metro Center (former OSH)
o 1065 Hillsdale Century Plaza
o 388 Vintage Park (former El Torito restaurant)
o Mariners Point Golf Center
o State Lands
o Edgewater Place Shopping Center
o Sea Cloud II
o 1601 Beach Park Blvd.
o 700 Lincoln Center
• Assessment of themes, including impact of noise ordinance, impact of redevelopment of Hillsdale Mall and Bridgepointe Shopping Center, feasibility of a High School and creation a downtown core.

ANALYSIS
Building upon the findings, analysis, and feedback through Updates #1 and 2, Kosmont has prepared a Draft Report that consolidates the work completed to date, provides an overview of the City’s economic and market outlook, and establishes an Economic Development Action Plan to support the City’s long-term economic vitality.

The Draft Report prepared by Kosmont and upon adoption at a future City Council meeting will serve as a strategic framework to guide staff’s economic development efforts over the next five (5) years.

The Draft Report includes the following five (5) sections:

1. Background and Overview

2. Economic and Market Outlook

3. Economic Development Action Plan

4. Land Use Trends and Case Studies

5. Opportunity Sites
Appendices
Appendix A: Population and Household Demographics
Appendix B: Real Estate Market Assessment
Appendix C: Overview of Community, Stakeholder, and City Council Input Item 7.1

Page 352 of 654 ends

Appendix D: Themes and Considerations
The findings presented in Updates #1 and #2 are incorporated into Sections 4 and 5 and the appendices in the Draft Report. While much of the information remains consistent with the previous updates, Kosmont has updated Retail Market, Office Market, and Industrial/Flex Market sections using August 2026 CoStar Real Estate data, replacing February 2026 data. Additionally, the Community Outreach section has also been expanded to include additional information from the community survey.

This staff report focuses on Sections 2 and 3 of the Draft Report as other sections have been presented to the City Council before.

Section 2: Economic and Market Outlook (pages 13-16 of Attachment #1) As part of the Analysis, Kosmont was asked to identify Economic Development needs for Foster City related to regional land use trends and a forecast of likely conditions over the next decade (2035).

The Section addresses General Fund financial trends, changing office and employment patterns, industrial land use, housing and demographic trends, potential strategies for additional housing, and evolving retail trends. The analysis considers changing market conditions and identifies opportunities for the City to strengthen its fiscal position, support economic activity, and respond to evolving housing and commercial development needs.

Some of the key highlights are:
 General Fund Financial Outlook: Over the next 10 years, economic development efforts can help help the City strengthen its revenue base by encouraging appropriate commercial and industrial investment and pursue opportunities that enhance property and sales tax revenue.
 Changing Office Dynamics: Office dynamics have shifted since COVID‑19, with more residents working from home and spending locally. however, recent corporate return-to-office policies might have an impact to improve higher office vacancy.
 Strong Industrial Market: Industrial growth is strongest in logistics and data centers statewide, but Foster City’s limited land suggests focusing on smaller light‑industrial and flex‑space uses that support makers, entrepreneurs, and small manufacturers.
 Housing as Economic Development: Housing trends show declining household sizes and fewer families with children, influencing demand toward multifamily, attached, and multigenerational housing. This shift also affects the types of businesses that will thrive, as residential land increasingly serves as a place for living, working, and shopping.
 Evolving Retail: There is a 20+ year trend of retail spending toward online and omni‑channel models, reducing demand for traditional stores. To stay competitive, Foster City should prioritize experience‑based retail and support local businesses.

Item 7.1

Page 353 of 654 ends

Mixed residential‑retail development—especially horizontal mixed use—is a practical approach given changing market conditions.

Section 3: Economic Development Action Plan (pages 17-26 of Attachment #1) This is one of the most important sections of the Draft Report as it outlines a five-year framework of goals, strategies and implementation actions to support the City’s long-term economic vitality. The Action Plan builds upon the Real Estate Economic Market Assessment, analysis, market and land use trends, stakeholder and community feedback, and other supporting research. Collectively, these findings informed the goals, strategies and implementation actions.

The Action Plan includes six (6) broad goals based on the community and stakeholder outreach and discussions on a wide range of opportunities and challenges. Each goal, then, includes strategies and implementation actions. For each strategy, Kosmont has listed expected time frames, performance metrics and rough cost to the City.

Item 7.1

Page 354 of 654 ends

Fig 1: City of Foster City Economic Development Action Plan (Draft)

1. Promote Long-Term Health of the City
Strategy 1: Strengthen the City’s Economic Development Function A. Establish Economic Development support staff as the initial contact for new commercial or housing proposals. City should have designated staff member(s) (i.e., Ombudsman) who are responsible for guiding project proposals through the City’s review, entitlements, and permitting processes.

B. Conduct regular outreach to property owners, business owners, property managers, and real estate brokers to identify leasing and development challenges, understand market and business needs, and how the City can help them take advantage of new opportunities.

C. Initiate review of established City policies and procedures that have a negative impact on business, and if necessary, work with the Community Development Department and the City Attorney’s Office to modify those policies in accordance with City Council direction (e.g., Noise Ordinance).

Strategy 2: Monitor Economic Trends and Performance
A. Continue to monitor local economic, market, and demographic trends using advanced data analytics to measure performance and identify opportunities and challenges. Use a commercial real estate data and analytics platform (e.g., CoStar) subscription to update data included in the Real Estate Market Analysis on a semiannual basis.

B. Leverage tools, such as Placer.ai, to analyze visitation patterns, foot traffic, and resident spending behavior.

2. Placemaking Through Art, Signage, and Events
Strategy 1: Expand Public Art
A. Expand public art throughout Foster City by integrating into new development and key public spaces to enhance placemaking, community identity, and the overall experience. Identify priority locations for public art within key public spaces.

B. Evaluate establishing a “Public Art Impact Fee” for qualifying new development or redevelopment to fund installation of Public Art.

Strategy 2: Enhance Wayfinding
A. Engage a design consultant to develop a coordinated wayfinding and signage program to improve navigation through Foster City’s curvilinear street network, enhance a sense of place, and strengthen connection to key destinations and businesses.

B. Identify priority locations and implement a pilot phase, particularly around commercial / retail centers, entry gateways, and recreational amenities.

Item 7.1

Page 355 of 654 ends

C. Install signage as funding becomes available.

Strategy 3: Expand Events & Programming
A. Expand Parks and Recreation Department’s year-round special events and arts and cultural recreational programming to increase activity and strengthen community identity.

B. Create a program to allow for cultural or artistic uses to temporarily occupy vacant commercial spaces. Allow entrepreneurs to create “pop-up” retail initiatives, test new concepts, or operate incubator spaces to increase activation in various commercial centers.

3. Advance Branding and Marketing
Strategy 1: Strengthen Business Visibility and Community Connections A. Engage a branding / marketing consultant to launch a comprehensive marketing and branding campaign that strengthens the City’s identity and promotes key attractions and amenities to draw more spending by day visitors and overnight visitors (e.g., Leo J. Ryan Park and Lagoon, Summer Days mid-August Festival, Community Center, Crowne Plaza weekend DJ music / dancing / special events, Hillbarn Theater, Mariners Point Golf Center).

B. Establish “Business Spotlight Program” to recognize local businesses for their contribution to the City of Foster City, increase their visibility, and strengthen the connection between businesses and the community.

4. Foster a Vibrant and Walkable Downtown Core
Strategy 1: Reimagining Leo J. Ryan Park and Community Center A. Leverage Leo J. Ryan Park, the new Community Center, and surrounding area to cultivate a vibrant, walkable downtown core. Retain a designer or an architectural firm to prepare a programmatic design and vision for a downtown core extending from City Hall / Library / Foster Square to Leo J. Ryan Park and the new Community Center.

Strategy 2: Activation of Shopping Centers
A. Work with Edgewater Place Shopping Center ownership to identify opportunities and activate the shopping center, including outdoor dining, enhanced landscaping, lighting, facade and signage improvements, and better utilization of the lagoon frontage. Extend the efforts to other shopping centers over time.

5. Create a Prosperous Local Economy
Item 7.1

Page 356 of 654 ends

Strategy 1: Promote Local Spending and Business Vitality A. Analyze costs / benefits of a “Shop Local Passport” program that gives residents discounts to participating businesses.

B. Work with property owners and facilitate more activities and programming, including events, dining, and entertainment at shopping centers.

6. Leverage Opportunity Sites
Strategy 1: Enhance Recreational Opportunities
A. Retain an architectural firm or design consultant to evaluate opportunities to expand Mariner’s existing commercial operations, including food offerings and a clubhouse with a deck overlooking the Bay to accommodate larger functions beyond the current 40-person capacity limit
B. Given the need for more sports and recreation facilities in the City, Sea Cloud II has the potential to become a valuable ecological resource and a recreation asset. Initiate an environmental assessment to identify constraints and evaluate opportunities for the addition of recreational / sports activities.

NEXT STEPS
Following City Council’s discussion and direction on any desired revisions to the Draft Report, staff will return with the Final Report for adoption at a future meeting date.

Once adopted, the Final Report will serve as a strategic framework to guide staff’s economic development efforts over the next five (5) years.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Exempt per California Environmental Act (CEQA) Guideline, Section 15061(b)(3)

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving the Draft Final Report as the agreement with Kosmont has already been approved and appropriated by the City Council. However, the implementation of some of the strategies and actions identified through the Economic development Strategic Action Plan will have fiscal impacts.

CITY OF FOSTER CITY – REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS Item 7.1

Page 362 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 5

BACKGROUND
The City of Foster City (“City”) initiated a Real Estate Economic Market Analysis (“Analysis”) to provide the City with a data-driven understanding of current and emerging real estate and economic conditions in response to changing market dynamics, evolving demographic trends, and long-term development pressures that relate to the City. The scope of the Analysis includes five (5) main components:
 Citywide Real Estate Economic Market Assessment
 Population and Psychographic Analysis
 Identify Future Economic Development Needs
 City Council Engagement and Review Process
 Stakeholder and Community Engagement
On February 2, 2026, the City Council approved an agreement with Kosmont Companies (“Kosmont”) to conduct the independent, professional Analysis. Kosmont commenced work and over the course of the Analysis presented several updates to the City Council, including Updates #1 and #2.

Update #1 Presentation on April 20, 2026, included population and psychographic analysis; an evaluation of the City’s economic base; an assessment of office, industrial/flex (R&D), retail, and hotel market conditions; and an analysis of visitation patterns and retail spending leakage. Following Update #1, Kosmont and City staff conducted extensive stakeholder and community engagement, including community meetings, stakeholder meetings, and community surveys.

Update #2 Presentation on July 20, 2026, provided an overview of the extensive stakeholder and community feedback and presented an overview of 10 opportunity sites and their potential for development, redevelopment, or repurposing based on market conditions and community priorities.

The Final Analysis integrates the results and findings of Updates #1 and #2, provides an overview of the City’s economic and market outlook, and establishes a five-year framework of goals, strategies and implementation actions to support the City’s long-term economic vitality.

Item 7.1

Page 363 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 6

BACKGROUND
Foster City is a "Planned Community", constructed and implemented on the basis of an organized program of development. The City encompasses 12,345 acres, of which 9,726 acres are part of San Francisco Bay and Belmont Slough, and 2,619 acres are reclaimed marshland. This equates to approximately 4 square miles of land area. Foster City's geography is defined by the San Francisco Bay to the east and a 218-acre system of man-made lagoons that wind throughout the City.

Foster City is a unique community with limited points of entry and exit due to its "island" location, surrounded by waterways like lagoons, sloughs, and the San Francisco Bay. Foster City’s commercial and industrial lands are nearly built out, and it does not have a traditional downtown or a historic "main street.”
Meanwhile, consumer preferences and the commercial real estate landscape have continued to evolve, influenced by changing shopping, dining, entertainment, and workplace patterns. These shifts present both challenges and opportunities for the City as it considers how existing commercial areas can adapt to changing market conditions and community needs.

The City, with strong leadership, professional staff, and an engaged community, believes the independent and professional Analysis was an important step in proactively assessing current market trends and cycles, demographic trends, supply and demand dynamics, economic indicators, future needs, and providing a data-driven foundation to inform actionable strategies to guide sustainable growth and economic development.

KEY FINDINGS / OPPORTUNITIES / CHALLENGES
This section outlines several key findings, opportunities, and challenges that reflect Foster City's current demographic, economic and real estate market conditions and trends.

Demographics
 City has among the highest average household income (~$250,000) and education levels (~77% college degree) in the County.  With over 50% Asian heritage, the majority of restaurants are Asian-themed, offering opportunity for more traditional seafood, steak, other ethnic offerings.
 The City is comprised of a family-friendly community with open space and recreational opportunities.

COVID-19 Impact
 There was a 60% drop in visitors and 75% drop in commuters to Foster City as a result of the pandemic lockdown.  Visitors recovered following the pandemic within about two years, but onsite workers are still 20-30% below the 2019 level as work from home impacts many employers.

Item 7.1

Page 366 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 9

KEY FINDINGS / OPPORTUNITIES / CHALLENGES
 Economic Base
➢ The City has a strong commercial real estate market sector supporting 20,000 high-paying jobs.  Office and Industrial Market Trends
➢ The office market was hard hit by the pandemic with vacancy increasing to over 15%. ➢ City has strong recent leasing interest/activity especially Industrial/Flex (low vacancy and solid rent growth).  Hotel Market
➢ 3-mile Radius (submarket): Hotel market has not recovered from major decline in room rates (ADR) and occupancy during COVID, making new development challenging.
➢ Foster City: City hotels have recovered and exceeded pre-COVID levels performance levels.  Consumer Trends
➢ Sales in stores have grown slowly as online purchases are capturing greater share of consumer goods spending. ➢ Online shopping captures over 23% of total U.S. retail sales today – reduces demand for brick and mortar stores in Foster City by 250,000 SF or more.

Item 7.1

Page 367 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 10

KEY FINDINGS / OPPORTUNITIES / CHALLENGES
 Retail Market Conditions
➢ Retail commercial market space is limited with only 600,000 SF and rents are high (above $40 PSF/yr), creating challenges for small businesses – Costco is the major regional draw generating substantial City retail sales. ➢ City lacks a downtown core and has few upscale retail, entertainment and dining options, but there is little available space, except for Edgewater Place Shopping Center and the 58,000 SF former Orchard Supply Store (OSH).  Multifamily Market Conditions
➢ The City has approximately 7,000 multifamily units (apartments and condos). ➢ The City has strong rental market of 4,500 units with average rent of $3,900 per month and only 2.5% vacancy.  Opportunities to retain and recapture spending
➢ Bridgepointe Center in San Mateo is a leading shopping destination for Foster City residents, which provides a wide range of retail, entertainment and restaurants in close proximity. ➢ There is significant leakage in spending in clothing, full and limited-service restaurants, bars, home furnishings.  Geographic Constraints
➢ City is ostensibly an island, with three main entrances/exits and there are limited mass transit options.

STAKEHOLDER / COMMUNITY OUTREACH OVERVIEW
Kosmont worked with the City to conduct a variety of outreach efforts to solicit feedback from stakeholders and community members, including interviews / group meetings, a business survey, and a community survey.

Stakeholder Interviews Community Survey Community Meetings Key themes from stakeholder interviews
included the following:
• Metro Center was mentioned as a
redevelopment opportunity
• Commercial development in R&D space
• Redevelopment of older multifamily
apartments into higher density mixed-use
• Inconsistent enforcement of signage
• Community opposition to development due
to traffic concerns
• Lack of dining options in the City
• Mixed-use development along lagoon
• Need for better public transportation
• Increase the use of Mariners Point land
• Permitting process delays
Kosmont prepared a survey for Foster City
community to identify shopping patterns and
preferences
• 50% rarely visit sit-down restaurants in the
City
• 40% rarely visit quick-service restaurants
• 75% rarely use local personal services
• 69% want more sit-down restaurants
• 59% prioritize streetscape/walkability
improvements
• 58% want more public events
• 54% want more outdoor dining
• 54% want more entertainment venues
• 41% prioritize plazas, public art and
walkways
Key comments included the following:
• Need for a downtown core
• More dining, shopping, and services
• Concerns were expressed regarding empty
office buildings and long-standing vacancies
(e.g., OSH building, Edgewater Place
Shopping Center)
• Better public transportation
• More community events and gathering space
• Activate the lagoon and waterfront
• Consider enhancements that build on the
golf course’s success
• Respondents expressed curiosity if the City
could support its own high school
Note: Additional stakeholder / survey / community outreach data is available in Appendix C.

Item 7.1

Page 369 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 12 The City Council provided the following comments to guide the Real Estate Economic Market Analysis:
▪ Foster City Square repositioning — seen as underperforming; consider pop-ups, kiosks, activation, or rethinking City ownership strategy.
▪ Edgewater Place challenges/opportunities — Waterfront potential, but constrained by ownership, high rents/CAM, access, and past housing opposition.
▪ Infrastructure constraints — 50-year-old water/electric systems may limit redevelopment feasibility. ▪ Revenue-generating opportunities — hotels, higher-value redevelopment, City property investment, improved signage, billboards, sales, property and TOT tax generating uses. ▪ Community needs — more teen activities, quality restaurants, childcare/preschools, and inclusive spaces for seniors and diverse population.
▪ Engagement strategy — use multiple channels, including three local Facebook groups, to gather resident input. ▪ Action-oriented staff report — practical, site-specific, and tailored to City (avoid “cookie-cutter” approaches).

2. ECONOMIC AND MARKET OUTLOOK
CITY OF FOSTER CITY – REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS Item 7.1

Page 371 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 14

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OUTLOOK
General Fund Financial Outlook
Over the next 10 years, economic development efforts can help the City strengthen its revenue base by encouraging
appropriate commercial and industrial investment and pursue opportunities that enhance property and sales tax revenue.

These revenues can strengthen the General Fund and help support ongoing City services and operations.

Changing Office Dynamics
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the dynamics of being
required to work from the office and created flexibility to work from home (WFH). WFH residents can benefit the City by not commuting out of the City and consequently spending more money locally. The City does enjoy more workers coming into the City for jobs than leaving the City bolstering daytime population.

Further, recent corporate return-to-office policies might have an impact to improve higher office vacancy. Also, essential workers in the medical service sectors will continue to operate physically in the workplace and medical services are forecasted to account for a large share of job growth.

Strong Industrial Market
Logistics, warehouses, and data centers are driving the vast majority of new industrial development across California and the U.S. Given Foster City’s limited land availability, large scale industries have limited applicability. City could focus on supporting smaller scale light industrial/flex space, which offers small- to medium-sized manufacturing facilities, creative and artisan fabricator economies and ancillary retail sales and services. Implementation can focus on attracting entrepreneurs wanting to start new businesses.

As part of the Analysis, Kosmont identified Economic Development needs for Foster City related to regional land use trends and a forecast of likely conditions over the next decade (2035). The Analysis considers changing market conditions and identifies opportunities for the City to strengthen its fiscal position, support economic activity, and respond to evolving housing and commercial development changes.

Item 7.1

Page 372 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 15

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OUTLOOK
Housing as Economic Development
From 2010 to 2020, the number of households with children at home declined for both married couples and single parents. This is a trend throughout most of California, reflecting declining birth rates and the lowest fertility rates ever in the US. The California Department of Finance (DOF) projects continuing declines in the number of residents aged 18 and under and those aged 18 to 24.

The result is a long-term decline in the average household size.

With fewer families with children, the market will likely shift towards producing a variety of housing types such as multigenerational housing and more attached and multifamily housing, traditional instead of single-family detached houses. There are also implications for the types of businesses—less retail, dining, entertainment, and recreation—that will fill commercial buildings and be successful.

Historically, housing was primarily shelter, but with the advent of online shopping, people had the ability to shop from home.

Further, working from home (discussed in more detail below) converted the home to an office. So, residential represents where we sleep, where we shop and where we work. Therefore, residential as a land use can be considered economic
development.

Potential Strategies for Additional Housing:

Keeping in mind the City’s Housing Element and Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) obligations, the City could explore the following strategies, if needed, as part of a mid-cycle review of the current Housing Element and/or as part of the next Housing Element cycle.
 Explore adoption of an Adaptive Reuse Ordinance to
facilitate the conversion of underutilized commercial buildings into residential housing or mixed/blended-use development.

As an initial step, the City could utilize initial screening and scoring analysis to identify commercial properties for adaptive reuse.
 Explore increased residential density on existing multifamily sites along Foster City Lagoon and include ground floor commercial uses as an amenity and only if appropriate based on market demand.

Item 7.1

Page 373 of 654 ends

DRAFT FOSTER CITY REAL ESTATE ECONOMIC MARKET ANALYSIS | 16

ECONOMIC AND MARKET OUTLOOK
Evolving Retail
There is a 20+ year trend of retail spending transitioning from brick-and-mortar stores to online purchasing. At this time, most chain retailers are highly focused on omni-channel retailing—creating multiple pathways to retail sales, including instore shopping and online sales with store pickup, delivery, and shipping from centralized warehouses, which reduces the need for traditional physical stores. Even though the City is underserved by retail businesses, the proximity of competing shopping centers lessens future demand for commercial
development in the City.

To be competitive in the regional market and in the changing retail environment, the City should facilitate the transformation of existing commercial areas and the development of new ones, with a focus on experience-oriented shopping (where
socializing, entertainment, activities, food and beverage and the overall experience are as important, if not more so, as the purchase of goods). Promoting new local businesses will help expand offerings for shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation.

Because residential and retail are such compatible land uses, mixing or blending these land uses in projects is prudent.

Horizontal mixed-blended use projects are generally more feasible than vertical ones.

• New housing can generate
significant new tax revenues and
support local jobs from resident
spending
• Housing is not necessarily a net
negative fiscal impact, especially at
current property values
• U.S. retail overbuilt and needs
“right sizing;” Covid accelerated
trends; today it's about essentials,
experience & e-commerce
• Blended/mixed-use projects
integrate multiple uses (housing,
retail, open space, creative office,
hotel)
• Telework and work from home
options are reshaping the needs for
office space and business districts
• Job redistribution tied to housing
• Vacancies can lead to fiscal impact
pressure
• Modern industrial is not “your
father’s industrial” – it is a blend
• Retail can’t thrive without
distribution; Booming demand for
e-commerce, particularly smaller
last-mile delivery facilities
• Flex space (a blend of industrial,
office, research and development
space) is a growing market. Cities
can attract high-tech / skill firms
with such space
