COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 4789) DOC ID: 4789
Updated: 1/27/2023 2:54 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 1
AB 361 - Consider Making Findings to Allow the City Council and the Legislative Bodies of the City of Fremont to Continue Holding Meetings via Videoconference pursuant to AB 361

Executive Summary: In order for the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies to continue holding meetings by teleconferencing pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e) (AB 361), the City Council needs to reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic every 30 days and find that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person.

BACKGROUND: On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed AB 361 amending the Brown Act to allow local agencies to meet remotely during declared emergencies under certain conditions. AB 361 builds upon Executive Order N-29-20, issued by the Governor on March 17, 2020, which relaxed the teleconferencing requirements of the Brown Act to facilitate virtual meetings during the COVID-19 declared emergency.

AB 361 authorizes local agencies to continue meeting remotely without following the Brown Act’s standard teleconferencing provisions, including the requirement that meetings be conducted in physical locations, if the meeting is held during a state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor and either of the following applies: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the agency has already determined or is determining whether, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

To continue meeting remotely pursuant to AB 361, an agency must make periodic findings that: (1) the body has reconsidered the circumstances of the declared emergency; and (2) the emergency impacts the ability of the body’s members to meet safely in person, or state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. These findings should be made not later than 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to AB 361, and every 30 days thereafter.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The City Council and the City’s other legislative bodies have met using teleconferencing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. The factual circumstances exist for the City to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361. Specifically, the Governor’s declared State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Emergency”) is still in place. In addition, the City of Fremont COVID-19 Employee Resource Guide requires physical distancing for City employees, customers and visitors, to the extent possible. And finally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to advise that COVID-19 spreads more easily

indoors than outdoors and that people are more likely to be exposed to COVID-19 when they are closer than 6 feet apart from others for longer periods of time. Therefore, due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, the need to promote social distancing to reduce the likelihood of exposure to COVID-19, and the imminent risks to the health or safety of meeting attendees, the Emergency impacts the ability of the City Council and the legislative bodies of the City to meet safely in person.

FISCAL IMPACT: None.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: N/A

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council make the following findings in order to continue holding videoconference meetings for the City Council and the City’s legislative bodies:

1. The City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency;

2. The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person; and

3. Staff is directed to schedule reconsideration of these findings at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on March 7, 2023.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 4770) DOC ID: 4770
Updated: 2/2/2023 8:41 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 CITY OF FREMONT SALARY SCHEDULE ADOPTION - Consideration of a Resolution Adopting the City of Fremont's Salary Schedule Contact Persons:

Name: Tina Gallegos
Title: Human Resources Director
Div/Dept: Human Resources
Phone: 510-494-4652

Executive Summary: In order to confirm that the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) will appropriately consider established City of Fremont employee compensation earnable when calculating retirement benefits, the City of Fremont’s Employee Salary Schedule (or Pay Plan) is required to be formally adopted by the City Council in a public meeting. City Council approval of the overall pay plan is required for compliance with CalPERS compensation reporting requirements. This report does not seek Council action with respect to amounts of employee compensation, as such compensation has already been established via bargaining or under separate authority.

BACKGROUND: Fremont Municipal Code Section 2.25.210 (Salary Entitlement) codifies the City Manager’s authority to set, approve and amend employee pay ranges as part of a City-wide Salary Schedule. This authority is further outlined and defined in the City of Fremont’s Personnel Rules: Article VI (Compensation). In order to comply with CalPERS reporting requirements, staff requests, from time to time, that the City Council approve the current and most up-to-date salary schedule to reflect compensation changes that have been made under the City Manager’s authority since the City Council’s last approval. The salary schedule attached to this report reflects compensation rate changes made to comply with local minimum wage requirements; negotiated compensation increases (authorized during the bargaining process that concluded in July 2022), and various classification and compensation changes made to effect organizational compensation alignment, to incorporate market data and to maintain Fremont’s position as a desirable employer. The City Council last adopted the Citywide pay plan on September 7, 2021.

The City currently publishes its salary schedules on its publicly accessible website and the schedules are adjusted and reposted after each amendment.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code Section 20636 defines compensation earnable for State, School, and Public Agency members and in doing so requires that pay be outlined in publicly available pay schedules.

California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5 outlines eight criteria required to ensure that a pay plan is considered publicly available as follows:
(1) Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws
(2) Identifies the position title for every employee position

Packet Pg. 17
Council Staff Report (ID # 4770) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 8:41 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 (3) Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range
(4) Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually
(5) Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer’s internet website
(6) Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions (7) Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years
(8) Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate

The City’s Human Resources Department is responsible for ongoing compliance with CCR 570.5’s criteria (2) through (8). The City Council’s formal adoption of the pay plan will finalize compliance and further verify that City of Fremont employee salaries are to be considered “earned compensation” for the purposes of retirement/CalPERS reporting.

Human Resources staff will seek Council adoption of the City’s salary schedules from time to time when substantial changes to the salary schedules are being implemented. Each adoption of the salary schedules will incorporate salary changes resulting from any changes implemented by the City Manager as consistent with her authorities and responsibilities outlined in Municipal Code Section 2.25.210. The attached salary schedule reflects the following changes:

1) Implementation of the local required minimum wage increase; 2) Implementation of salary increases associated with successor Memorandum s of Understanding (MOU’s) approved in July 2022;
3) Classification and compensation changes resulting from organizational and/or market studies.

FISCAL IMPACT: This action is not seeking any specific change to employee compensation as such changes have already been implemented and their budgetary authority was coordinated via bargaining or City Manager authority.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: City administrative and personnel-related actions, and general policy and procedure making are not a “project” under CEQA, per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2).

ATTACHMENTS:
• Draft Resolution
• Salary Schedule 1-1-23
• Temp Salary Schedule FINAL 7-1-2022

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution approving the City of Fremont’s Salary Schedules as established by the City Manager.

Updated: 2/1/2023 1:41 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 PROTECTED INTERSECTION PROJECT AT FREMONT/WALNUT - Approval of Plans and Specifications; Award of Construction Contract to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. in the Amount of $2,226,859.50 (Includes 10% Contingency) to Implement the Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Avenue Protected Intersection Project (PWC9044); Appropriation Actions; and Make Findings of CEQA Exemption.

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to initiate construction of a multimodal safety improvement project at the intersection of Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Av enue.

Funding is partially provided from a Federal grant. The project is part of an ongoing series of investments that are transforming Fremont Boulevard from a historically auto-oriented thoroughfare into a “complete street” that supports safe and convenient mobility by all travel modes. The project also includes a westerly extension of the 1.5-mile long Walnut Avenue protected bikeway to the Fremont Hub commercial center.

BACKGROUND: In 2021, the City of Fremont received a competitive Federal grant though the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC) Safe and Seamless Mobility Quick - Strike Program. The Quick-Strike Program is a one-time, competitive grant program within the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) program framework, and it emphasizes bicycle/pedestrian safety and mobility, connections to transit, and projects that advance equitable mobility. On May 4, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution of support for the project.

This project will provide enhanced safety and comfort for people walking, bicycling, and connecting with transit in the Downtown/Central Fremont Priority Development Area (PDA) and commercial district. The project also supports multimodal travel along the Fremont Boulevard Transit Priority Corridor and in the Walnut Avenue multimodal corridor which connects to the Fremont BART station. This project will reconstruct the existing intersection with protected intersection features and modify the existing traffic signals to accommodate the new intersection design. Key project elements consist of the removal of existing right turn slip lanes, new elevated curb returns to encourage slower vehicle turns, raised bike lanes, new ADA curb ramps, enhanced intersection safety lighting, new video detection for bicycles, touchless pedestrian push buttons, high visibility crosswalks, and enhanced bikeway connections to existing bike facilities upstream and downstream of the project intersections.

Various City, County, and regional plans identify the Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Avenue corridors as priorities for developing high quality facilities for walking, bicycling, and transit.

These plans include the Fremont Bicycle Master Plan; the Alameda County Transportation Plan, the East 14th/Mission Boulevard/Fremont Boulevard Multimodal Corridor Plan, and the

Council Staff Report (ID # 4776) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/1/2023 1:41 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 Alameda County Priority Bikeway Network; and the Regional Active Transportation Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2023 with completion scheduled by December 2023.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Bids for this project were opened on December 6, 2022. The bidders with their respective bid amounts are shown below. The Engineer’s Estimate is $2,300,000.

Bid Results:

Bidder Bid Amount

1. Golden Bay Construction, Inc. $2,024,417.50

2. Redgwick Construction Co. $2,103,087.00

3. Sposeto Engineering, Inc. $2,168,269.55

4. Kerex Engineering, Inc. $2,521,241.00

The low bidder for this project, Golden Bay Construction, Inc., submitted a responsive bid and all documents are in order. The contractor is a responsible bidder experienced in this type of work and has satisfactorily completed contracts of this nature with the City and other nearby local agencies. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 21080.25 of the Public Resources Code, staff certifies that the entire project will be completed with a skilled and trained workforce and that contractor Golden Bay Construction, Inc., shall be required to provide sufficient and competent administration, staff, and a skilled and trained workforce necessary to perform and timely complete the work in accordance with the contract documents.

Based on lessons learned from earlier bids for similar projects, staff updated the Engineer’s Estimate to account for the higher costs based on 1) increased costs of current market for construction materials, fuel and trucking, 2) escalating construction costs for traffic signal work, and 3) limited space for contractor to work, store and stage construction materials and equipment in the project area. While the low bid was lower in cost than the updated Engineer’s Estimate, the cost increases were not budgeted in the original estimate submitted for grant funding.

Project Costs and Funding:

Estimated Project Costs
Construction Cost (Lowest Responsible Bid) $2,024,418 Construction Inspection, Surveying and Administration $334,028 Project Contingency (10%) $202,442

PWC9050, Fund 515 – ACTC Measure BB Bike/Ped Funds $330,888 Total Funding Available $2,560,888

FISCAL IMPACT: Additional funding is needed to construct the project in order to adjust for the recent inflationary increase in construction costs. The increased source of funding is proposed to come from reallocating unused contingency funds from two completed projects and by transferring funds from the future Fremont Boulevard/Country Drive Intersection Improvements Project. The Fremont/Country project is expected to receive a new funding allocation from ACTC in Spring 2023 which will free up some of the funding currently programmed to that project.

As noted in the “Source of Funds” section above, staff recommends reallocation of funds as proposed, to allow construction to move forward for this project, thereby meeting the grant deadline for project delivery. With the recommended additional reallocation of funds to the project, there will be sufficient funds available for the estimated project cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Based on the whole records and each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance, the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA review under Section 21080.25 of the Public Resources Code, as amended, because the project is a sustainable transportation project that implements pedestrian and bicycle facilities (i.e., construction of protected intersection corners, elevated curb returns, raised pedestrian/bicycle corners and green buffered bike lanes) and improves pedestrian and bicycle safety and improves access for current and potential transit riders. The project is located within public right of way and does not add new infrastructure that increases automobile capacity or require demolition of affordable housing. Furthermore, the City certifies the project will be completed by a skilled and trained workforce pursuant to enforceable contract provisions requiring contractors and subcontractors at every tier to use skilled labor. As a separate and independent basis, the project is exempt under CEQA Guideline Section 15301, Class 1(c), 15301 for "Existing Facilities" in that it involves operation, repair, maintenance or minor alteration of existing structures, facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. None of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions outlined in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 applies to the Project.

In addition, review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was also performed and a Categorical Exclusion (CE) with technical studies was prepared for the project. On November 15, 2021, the State determined that the project does not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the environment as defined by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and is excluded from the requirements to prepare an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact Statement.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the following actions related to the Fremont Boulevard and Walnut Avenue Protected Intersection Project (PWC9044):

1. Find that this project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 21080.25 of the Public Resources Code as a sustainable

Total Funding Available $3,368,262

FISCAL IMPACT: Additional funding is needed to construct the project in order to adjust for the recent inflationary increase in construction costs. The increased sources of funding are primarily from County Measure B and BB sales tax funds dedicated to improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These funds are administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC). It is noted that some ACTC funding is being transferred out of the Fremont Boulevard/Country Drive Intersection Improvement Project (PWC9050), however these funds are expected to be backfilled by a new ACTC funding allocation in Spring 2023. In addition, $500,000 is proposed from unallocated State gas tax revenues that are associated with recently increased gas prices.

Staff recommends reallocation of funds as proposed above, to allow construction to move forward for this project, thereby meeting the grant deadline for project delivery. With the recommended additional reallocation of funds to the project, there will be sufficient funds available for the estimated project cost.

Executive Summary: The report recommends that the City Council transfer funds from the Park Cost and Scope Contingency, PWC8101-541 of $80,700 to PWC 9012-541; approve the plans and specifications for Rix Park Basketball Court Project, accept the bid, and award the construction contract to Silicon Valley Paving, Inc. for the Base Bid amount of $329,358, with 10% Construction Contingency amount of $32,936, for a total Contract amount of $362,294; and to consider exemptions from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND: The existing half size basketball court located in the southern section of Rix Park has been in use since 1964. The court is separated from the main gravel pathway by turf with no dedicated pathway to the court itself. The surface of the basketball court is in disrepair and has exceeded its usable lifespan. The City has received numerous complaints regarding the condition and usability of the existing court.

The project scope will include: demolition and removal of the existing basketball court; backfill and conversion of the old court footprint to lawn; installation of two n ew back-to- back half courts with basketball standards nearer to Seneca Park Loop street, with an accessible concrete path from the street; installation of concrete paving and mow bands; installation of site furnishings; minor grading; modification to existing irrigation at additional new sod installation; and off-haul of excess excavated soils.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The proposed removal of the old basketball court from its existing location and the installation of the new basketball court adjacent to Seneca Park Loop provides a new playing court for residents with dedicated hardscape access to the court from the existing main circulation park pathway. The new location will enhance neighborhood eyes on the court, reducing vandalism and unwanted behaviors. The included

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project Budget and Funding: Rix Park Basketball Court Project was funded with a total of $450,000 of Park Dedication Fees and was approved as part of the 2019/20-2023/24 and 2021/22 -2025/26 Capital Improvement Programs. The amount in the fund will cover the design, consultant fees and the construction bid for the project. Due to escalation of construction costs and recent spikes in inflation, the project budget will not be able to cover the construction contingency and construction administration and management. The deficit is proposed to be covered through a transfer of funds from Park Cost and Scope Contingency, PWC8101-541.

Transfer of Funds: As of January 1, 2023, the Park Cost and Scope Contingency, PWC8101-541 has a balance of $267,360. These funds are eligible for use in the Rix Park Basketball Court Project. This report includes a recommendation to transfer $80,700 from Park Cost and Scope Contingency, PWC8101-541 to fund PWC 9012-541-R to cover the

ACCESS POINT AND HOUSING RESOURCE CENTER SERVICE AGREEMENT AMENDMENT - Authorize the City Manager or their Designee to Enter into an Amendment with the County of Alameda, for the City to Provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services, in the Amount of $177,082.

Contact Persons:

Title: Management Analyst II Director
Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: 284-4014 510-574-2051
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this staff report is to request the City Council approve a $177,082 amendment to the service agreement with the County of Alameda for the provision of Access Point and Housing Resource Center Services for those at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness; and to increase appropriations to reflect the additional contracted revenue.

BACKGROUND: In 2017, in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandate, Alameda County began implementing the Coordinated Entry System (CES). The purpose of the system was to coordinate homeless services throughout the County and streamline prioritization for programs and permanent supportive housing units. The City’s Human Services Department has participated in CES by providing housing needs assessments, outreach, documentation and housing application support, as well as referrals to appropriate partner agencies. From 2018 through 2020, Abode Services was designated as a regional Housing Resource Center and subcontracted with the City, via the Human Services Department’s Fremont Family Resource Center (FRC), to provide housing needs assessments and drop-in services. The FRC also contracts with Eden Information and Referral to receive warm transfers from callers seeking assessments and referrals.

Since January 1, 2021, the Alameda County Health Care Service Agency’s (ACHCSA) Office of Homeless Care and Coordination (OHCC) has contracted directly with the City, establishing the FRC as an Access Point and Housing Resource Center. In 2021, the FRC conducted 108 crisis resource and housing needs assessments for 89 unique households. In 2022, the FRC assessed 247 unique households and began providing drop-in hours for 4 hours a week.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Alameda County has requested the City continue to provide access point services and has proposed a one-year amendment (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023), in an amount not to exceed $177,082. As a result of these additional services, the not to exceed amount has increased from the original agreement of $117,800 (January 1, 2021-December 31, 2021) to $230,611 adding an additional $112,811 to the agreement from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 to $407,693 over the term of the Agreement and any amendments.

Packet Pg. 66
Council Staff Report (ID # 4771) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/1/2023 1:17 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 Under this amendment, the City is required to continue to provide housing problem solving services, crisis assessments, and permanent housing assessments, to eligible callers. The City provides a dedicated phone line for those seeking services. Drop–in Housing Resource Center hours will continue weekly. City Staff participate in monthly regional collaboration meetings with local service providers to engage in case consultations for individuals targeted for permanent supportive housing opportunities, discuss new programs, and strategize or troubleshoot around barriers for individuals not yet targeted for services.

FISCAL IMPACT: In anticipation of this program, the City Council appropriated $134,656 as part of the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget. Staff requests the City Council appropriate an additional $12,030 in the ACHCSA Fund (Fund 179) to equal the anticipated expenses for this program through June 30, 2023. FY 2023/24 expenses will be appropriated as part of the FY 2023/24 budget adoption process.

Additional Appropriation Request

Description Amount
Current FY 2022/23 Appropriation in Fund 179: 134,656
Additional FY 2022/23 Appropriation Requested in Fund 179: 12,030 Total FY 22/23 Appropriation Request in Fund 179: 146,686

There is no impact to the General Fund. The agreement and proposed amendment will cover staff time and administrative overhead costs associated with the program.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The acceptance of a grant from the County of Alameda to provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center services is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (projects consistent with the general plan or zoning) and/or 15061(b)(3), (the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment) and/or 15378(b)(administrative actions and/or government fiscal activities that do not involve a commitment to a specific project or otherwise result in a potentially significant effect on the environment).

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute a FY 2022/23 Standard Service Agreement Amendment of $177,082 with the County of Alameda to provide Access Point and Housing Resource Center services and make findings of CEQA exemption discussed in this report.

2. Increase revenue estimates and appropriate an additional $12,030 for these services in the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Fund (Fund 179).

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 4791) DOC ID: 4791
Updated: 2/1/2023 1:46 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1

RENEW CONTRACT FOR CITY'S ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD SOFTWARE - Extend agreement and issue purchase orders with Netsmart Technologies, Inc.

Contact Persons:

Name: Karen L. Grimsich Suzanne Shenfil
Title: Family Services Administrator Director
Div/Dept: Human Services Department Human Services Department Phone: 510-574-2062 510-574-2051
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The Human Services Department has utilized Netsmart Technologies’ MyEvolv electronic health record (EHR) system software since September 2019. This EHR system is critical for the Human Services Department to track client information and care plans, coordinate treatment and resource referrals, provide data to funding entities and to facilitate billing for reimbursement from 3rd party sources such as Medi-Cal and Medicare.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to enter into Amendment #1 to Master Agreement #19-0426 with Netsmart Technologies to extend the term of the agreement for an additional 5 years, not to exceed $589,850.

BACKGROUND: In 2019, the City completed a public proposal process to upgrade its aging EHR System. On September 30, 2019, the City entered into Master Agreement #19-0426 with Netsmart Technologies, the successful bidder, to design and implement a new Electronic Health Record for client services. The database went live on December 2020 and has been utilized since then to document client services and bill for services.

The Master Agreement included three years of annual maintenance and support, hosting services, Netsmart subscriptions and third-party subscriptions. The master agreement must be amended for the City to continue to access the full functionality of the EHR system.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The MyEvolv EHR system is a cloud-based system hosted in a data center in Netsmart’s private cloud. The data center is fully redundant and meets current industry security standards, including Systems and Organizational Controls ( SOC) 2, and is consistent with the City’s IT Strategic Plan for cloud-based computing.

The proposed 5-year Netsmart software maintenance amendment will include all hosting services, Netsmart subscriptions and third-party subscriptions. Netsmart will provide all future upgrades, enhancements, and platform upgrades to the system software ensuring that the City always utilizes the most current technology. The software maintenance also includes technical support and a searchable knowledgebase related to Netsmart’s proce ssing and procedures.

FISCAL IMPACT: Costs of the EHR system are budgeted in the General Fund and in the Human Services Special Revenue Fund. As part of the FY 2022/23 Adopted Budget, the City Council appropriated enough funding for the first year costs associated with the proposed

Council Staff Report (ID # 4791) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/1/2023 1:46 PM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 amendment to the Master Agreement. The future year costs will be incorporated into the proposed operating budget, with some or all of the increases to be paid from Medi-Cal reimbursements.

The amendment is a 5-year extension of the contract and has a 3% annual escalator rate.

In FY 2023/24, we expect to have a one-time program enhancement to the system to allow for new client functionality.

FY 2026/27 $125,060 $0 $125,060
5-Year Total: $554,850 $35,000 $589,850

As a software maintenance agreement for a previously procured software system, this amendment is exempt from the City’s competitive procurement requirements per Fremont Municipal Code (FMC) 3.20.280(c).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to, without limitation, Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2), (4), (5) and/or 15061(b)(3), in that it is an administrative of fiscal activity of the City that has no possibility to cause a significant effect on the environment. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA exemption.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to enter into a 5-Year Amendment to Master Agreement #19-0426 with Netsmart Technologies in an amount not to exceed $589,850.

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to incorporate new State grant funds into the City’s budget and to facilitate implementation of funded activities related to extending the Sabercat Trail, developing a new Community Center in Central Park to replace the current Teen Center and Fremont Community Center, and to continue homeless services at the Housing Navigation Center through June 30, 2025.

BACKGROUND: On September 6, 2022, the State of California adopted legislation establishing their budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 under Assembly Bill No. 179, Chapter 249 (AB 179). The State Budget included “earmark” allocations to specific projects and programs identified by State legislators. With support from State Assemblymember Lee and former State Senator Wieckowski, budget allocations were provided to three projects in Fremont. A ceremonial event acknowledging the new State funding grants was held on October 13, 2022, at the Sabercat Trail.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The scope and funding amount for the State budget earmarks allocated to the City of Fremont are described below:
• Sabercat Trail Extension and Trail Upgrades in Sabercat Historical Park The proposed Sabercat Trail Extension project will extend and improve the existing trail, located in the Mission San Jose area. The project will extend the trail that runs through Sabercat Historical Park, to the west over Interstate 680 to connect with the Irvington community at Osgood Road. The existing trail will be widened and improved within the Sabercat Historical Park and extended from the easterly end of Sabercat Historical Park along Pine Street to connect with Mission Boulevard and Ohlone College.

A new interpretive area in Sabercat Historical Park will inform the community about the unique paleontological history of the area from 1.9 million years ago.

For the Sabercat Trail Extension Project, AB 179 appropriated $6 million from the State General Fund to the Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS), which requires a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a funding agreement with the State and certifying approval of the project application,

Another $6 million were appropriated to the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), for which Caltrans requires a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into agency-state master agreements in order to receive funding for the Sabercat Project and for other state and federal-aid funded projects that may be approved by Council in the future. The resolution is also required to reflect changes Caltrans made to its form resolution for agency-state master agreements and related agreements.

The Sabercat Trail Extension project has been approved by the City Council and is currently funded by the State Natural Resources Agency for environmental clearance and final design. The additional state grants would fund the Irvingtonian Fossil Museum planning efforts, final design consultant costs for the Sabercat Existing Trail Upgrades inside the Sabercat Historical Park, right of way acquisition for the Sabercat Trail Extension project, and additional final design consultant costs for the Sabercat Trail Extension. The allocated State funds also include partial funding for project construction, which will be used to help leverage additional construction funding from other sources. Further information about the project is featured on the City’s MyFremont community engagement platform (see weblink below). • Central Park Community Center
The proposed Central Park Community Center project will develop a new Multi Service Community Center in Central Park, replacing the current Teen Center and Fremont Community Center, and providing expanded space for indoor recreation and community programs. Having a modern multi service center is identified as a top priority in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan approved in 2022.

AB 179 appropriated $8 million from the State General Fund to the City of Fremont for the Central Park Community Center project, through a budget line item titled “Fremont Teen Center Building Upgrades,” for which a resolution is required authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the State. The State grant will be used to plan and design a new community center and contribute to the construction costs. Additional funding will be needed for project construction. Project planning and community engagement activities are expected to be underway beginning in Spring 2023. • Homeless Housing Navigation Center
The Housing Navigation Center (HNC) was approved by Council and has been in operation since September 2020. Operating costs include Housing Navigators and other supportive service staff, meals for participants, facility costs, and overhead expenses.

Flex funds are used to provide rental and security deposits, titrated rental assistance, or a bedroom set-up. Funds may also be used to secure employment for participants, costs such as clothing, tools, trade schooling, or automobile registration. This State funding will extend operation of the HNC by supplementing funding in fiscal years 2023/24 and 2024/25. The City’s current agreement with Bay Area Community Services (BACS) to operate the HNC allows the City to offer services through June 30, 2025.

AB 179 appropriated $500,000 from the State General Fund to the Department of Housing and Community Development to be allocated to the City of Fremont for the

Staff is recommending Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a funding agreement with the State for this project. No resolution is required for this funding agreement. The City Manager is already authorized by the City Council to execute grant agreements with the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is recommending that the $12 million for the Sabercat Trail Extension project and the $8 million for the Central Park Community Center project be appropriated in the State Capital Grants Fund (Fund 525). The $500,000 for the Housing Navigation Center was appropriated in the Miscellaneous Operating Grants Fund (Fund 193) under the City Council’s delegation of authority to the City Manager.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because they are an administrative fiscal activity and not projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378.

As a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance, the City Council on February 15, 2022 adopted the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Sabercat Trail Extension Project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15074, with implementation of the adopted mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the project as mitigated will have a significant effect on the environment; and that the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Fremont.

Subsequent planning for the Central Park Community Center Project will include a community outreach process and preparation of an environmental clearance in accordance with CEQA guidelines.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 4794) DOC ID: 4794
Updated: 1/19/2023 9:54 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 1 RAILROAD QUIET ZONE CONSULTING SERVICES - Approval of Agreement for On-Call Consulting Services with RailPros, Inc. for the Development of Railroad Quiet Zone Projects

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate the retention of an on-call consultant services to assist with the development of railroad quiet zone projects.

BACKGROUND: On-call consultant services agreements are used for services requiring expertise that City staff does not have and/or to supplement City staff during periods of peak work demand.

There are eleven identified at-grade crossings that are part of the Fremont Quiet Zone Program -- a set of projects designed to enhance the safety of railroad crossings and allowing for passing trains to not blast their horn. Two crossings have been design ated as quiet zones - the Stevenson Boulevard quiet zone was established on December 2, 2010, and the Nursery Avenue quiet zone was established on September 4, 2021. Six crossings are part of the Centerville Railroad Corridor Project, which is currently funded through concept design. Staff is actively seeking funding for design of the remaining three at - grade crossings as well as construction funding for the Centerville Railroad Corridor Project from Alameda County Transportation Commission and as part of train service improvement projects. As funding becomes available, the on-call consultant would assist staff with implementing the remaining crossings in the Fremont Quiet Zone Program.

The on-call quiet zone consultant would perform services to assist with updating existing condition inventories at the at-grade railroad crossings, preparing conceptual and final designs to implement safety improvements needed to establish the quiet zones, and conducting meetings and preparing applications with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for establishment of the quiet zone.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In December 2022, the City solicited proposals for On-Call Quiet Zone Consulting Services. Two proposals were received from the following firms, listed alphabetically: Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc., and RailPros, Inc.

An evaluation panel, comprised of City staff, evaluated all of the proposals based on the completeness of the proposal, understanding of project scope, overall experience to perform the required services, previous and current work with public entities, evaluation of assigned personnel and their experience, billing rates, and evaluation of their overall approach.

Council Staff Report (ID # 4794) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 1/19/2023 9:54 AM by Alberto Quintanilla Page 2 Based on the results of the evaluation process, staff recommends authorizing the approval of a master agreement for on-call quiet zone consulting services with RailPros, Inc. for the not-to-exceed amount of $1,250,000 over a period of five years.

FISCAL IMPACT: All task orders issued, and work performed by the consultants under the on-call Master Service Agreement will be restricted to the funds appropriated and available for the specific approved project for which the work is required.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Environmental review is not required because award of this agreement is not a project within the meaning of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) and 15378(b) as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that award of the contract will have a significant effect on the environment and the award is an administrative activity that will not result in an effect on the physical environment. The projects that the consultant will provide services for will be subject to appropriate environmental review.

ATTACHMENTS: None.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute a Master Service Agreement with RailPros, Inc. for on-call quiet zone consulting services for a total not-to-exceed compensation of $1,250,000 for five years.

AGREEMENT NO. 22-0185 TO INCREASE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $185,000 Authorize City Manager or her designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Recreation Service Agreement with Communication Academy, Inc. to increase the amount not to exceed $185,000 for the current contract term through June 19, 2023.

Phone: 510-494-4322 510-494-4329
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend the Recreation Service Agreement with Communication Academy, Inc. to increase the amount not to exceed to $185,000.

BACKGROUND: The Recreation Services Division of the Community Services Department offers a variety of activities and programs for the community. Communication Academy, Inc. has been partnering with the City of Fremont Recreation Division for many years offering educational instruction in academic math, public speaking, creating writing, journalism, debate, mock trial, storytelling, and more to youth in Fremont. Communication Academy, Inc. provides literature and communication enrichment programs with a high level of educational quality and engaging classes.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The annual not to exceed amount of the current agreement is $75,000. During the COVID-19 pandemic, programs experienced extreme decreases in registration. With conditions normalizing, there has been a significant increase in registrations and the number of camps offered to meet community demand. Additionally, Communication Academy, Inc. educational classes could be a new component offering within our After School Education and Safety Program (ASES) providing academic and literacy support, and safe, constructive alternatives for youth.

Based on current registration trends and the addition of programming options in our Expanded Learning Program, the After School Academy, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute an amendment to the Recreation Service Agreement with Communication Academy, Inc., to increase the total not - to-exceed compensation from $75,000 to $185,000 for the contract term ending June 19, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT: Communication Academy, Inc. is a program offered through the Recreation Services Cost Center and there is no impact to the General Fund. The Recreation Service Agreement includes a 60/40 contractual payment (60% of resident registration fees paid to the contractor; 40% to the cost center) to Communication Academy on registration fees as compensation.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Recreation Service Agreement with Communication Academy, Inc. to increase the not-to-exceed compensation amount to $185,000 for the current contract term ending June 19, 2023.

DESIGNATION OF ALAMEDA COUNTY TO REVIEW AND SUBMIT JAG GRANTS ON BEHALF OF CITY - Adopt a Resolution authorizing Alameda County to review and submit Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) on behalf of the City of Fremont

Executive Summary: In 2005, the City of Fremont, along with the Cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, San Leandro, and Union City, amended the 2004 Alameda County Narcotics Task Force (ACNTF) memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish the Alameda County Consortium Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Local Consortium.

The MOU appoints the County of Alameda via the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office as the program administrator responsible for the administration of all fiscal procedures to facilitate JAG funding operations for the JAG Consortium members.

This report requests that the City Council provide explicit authorization and designation for Alameda County to review and submit all JAG grants on behalf of the City of Fremont.

BACKGROUND: In 2004 the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) grant programs and the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants (LLEBG) and the Byrne Formula Grants merged into a hybrid grant program now known as Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG) Local.

The USDOJ wanted to allocate these JAG grants on a regional consortium basis to our country’s various qualifying local law enforcement agencies. The Alameda County Chiefs of Police & Sheriff’s Association (ACCOPSA), an organization including all the Alameda County area's local law enforcement agencies, joined together with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office to form the regional Alameda County Narcotics Task Force (ACNTF) through a memorandum of understanding (MOU). In 2005, the City of Fremont, along with the Cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, San Leandro and Union City, entered into an amendment of the 2004 MOU to establish the Alameda County Consortium Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Local Consortium.

Each year the USDOJ, through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), informs the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO), as the program administrator of the JAG Local consortium for Alameda County, of the new funding levels for Alameda County and the qualifying cities within Alameda County. The ACSO is responsible as the program administrator for meeting all of the grant pre-requisite requirements on behalf of the JAG Consortium.

Council Staff Report (ID # 4796) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:34 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program Local Solicitation form requires a review by the governing body of the unit of local government (e.g., City Council or County Board of Supervisors). The 2004 Alameda County Narcotics Task Force Addendum to Memorandum of Understanding and the 2005 Amendment establishing the Alameda County Justice Assistance Grant Local Consortium (MOU) does not provide clear guidance on Alameda County’s ability to review the grant application on behalf of the City of Fremont. As a result, the most productive and prudent way to fulfill the administrative requirements for this year and future years under the MOU is for the City Council to authorize and designation for the County of Alameda Board of Supervisors to review and submit all JAG grants on behalf of the City of Fremont.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Authorizing Alameda County to apply for the JAG grants is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that 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 questi on may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The authorization to apply for grants will clearly not have a significant effect on the environment and, thus, CEQA does not apply, and no further environmental review is necessary.

Executive Summary: The City Council is asked to consider a first party appeal of the Planning Commissin’s December 8, 2022 denial of a Conditional Use Permit. Papé, a premier capital equipment provider (hereinafter, the “Appellant”) is requesting that the City Council grant their appeal (the “Appeal”) to allow a 35-foot tall freeway-oriented pylon sign that would be constructed at the rear of their new flagship Papé Machinery equipment dealership located at 43510 Osgood Road, adjacent to Interstate 680. The appellant’s written appeal is enclosed as Informational 1.

This report includes a summary of past actions, an analysis of the Appeal, and findings should the City Council decide to grant the appeal (reversing the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the project, allowing it to proceed forward); a complete analysis of the project design can be found in the staff report to the Planning Commission dated December 8, 2022, which is enclosed as Informational 3 and made a part of this staff report by reference.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution granting the Apeal,(reversing the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the project), approving the proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow the freeway-oriented sign as shown in Exhibit A (Project Plans), subject to the findings and conditions contained in Exhibit “B”.

BACKGROUND: In June 2020 the Zoning Administrator approved Zoning Administrator Permit PLN2019-00337 which allowed Papé’s proposed new heavy equipment dealership and service center at 43510 Osgood Road. Papé Machinery a west coast family-owned construction equipment dealer and has operated in Fremont since 1984. Their customers include most construction companies, all regional utility providers, and most municipalities.

This proposed project would consolidate three existing Papé dealerships into Fremont and is expected to be among the City’s major tax revenue generators.

Council Staff Report (ID # 4790) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:26 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2

In June 2021, a Master Sign Program was approved for the equipment dealership for all signs at the site, except the freeway-oriented sign which is the subject of this appeal.

In February 2022, the Planning Commission first considered this sign at the hearing and continued the item to allow the applicants to conduct further public outreach and to consider some concerns raised at the hearing regarding the sign. While concerns were raised by the Planning Commission, no concerns were raised by the public and neighboring property owners at the hearing.

In December 2022, the Planning Commission considered a revised proposal from the Appellant for a smaller sign. After deliberations, the Planning Commission denied the application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the proposed revised freeway-oriented pylon sign along Interstate 680 on a split vote of 4-3-0-0. A copy of the minutes from the hearing is attached as Informational 2. In its denial of the project, the Planning Commission made the following findings:

• Sufficient signage exists in the form of building signage that already has been installed on the building;
• Allowing the freeway pylon sign would set a precedent for more pylon signs to be requested along the I-680 corridor;
• The specific location of the sign and its proximity to the I-680 corridor are incompatible with existing character of the area; and
• Illumination of the sign is an inappropriate design element.

PROPOSED PROJECT: The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit to allow a freeway-oriented pylon sign as shown in Exhibit “A” that would be 35 feet in height from the site’s existing grade (or 22 feet in height from the elevation of the Interstate 680) with a sign area measuring approximately 120 square feet in size.

THE APPEAL:

On December 12, 2022, the Appellant timely submitted a first party appeal of the Planning Commission’s action. In the appeal letter (Informational 1), the Appellant sets forth several points, which they believe justifies reversal of the Planning Commission's decision. The four main points are outlined below.

a) Already Sufficient Signage. There is a dense grove of mature trees immediately to the north of Property (on the Jehovah's Witness property), that significantly reduces the visibility of the Papé Machinery dealership building signage while traveling westbound on I-680. The large high voltage power lines, supported by seven lattice towers, obstruct the building signage while traveling eastbound on I-680. The Appellant does not believe this objection fits within the approval criteria outlined in FMC 18.193.070 (Discretionary approvals – Evaluation standard).

b) Precedent. The Appellant states that according to the City's zoning map, there are only a handful of properties that are allowed this type of freeway-oriented signage.

Of those properties, only one remains undeveloped, the subject property owned by Papé Machinery. The appellant contends that topography of the other properties, in relation to the elevation of Interstate 680, make it either unlikely that those property

5.A
Packet Pg. 119
Council Staff Report (ID # 4790) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:26 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 3
owners will request freeway-oriented signage, or those property owners are able to place unobstructed building signage (similar to the former Fry's Electronics site), reducing the need for freeway-oriented signage. The Appellant states that they have spent five years working closely with Fremont Planning Division and Economic Development staff on this project, which is supported by City staff. Furthermore, the Appellant states that there is no mention of "precedent" as criteria for discretionary approval.

c) Location of the Pylon Sign. The Appellant states that their property is adjacent to Interstate 680 and the proposed pylon sign is designed to be visible from I-680. The property is approximately 13 feet lower in grade than the freeway. The proposed location of the pylon sign, approximately 9 feet from the property line, was selected by the Appellant in consultation with and approved by PG&E, because of a multitude of site constraints, including high voltage power lines supported by lattice towers and various flood control easements. The Appellant contends that the overall aesthetics of their property and surrounding area are already visually impacted by the power lines and lattice towers. The Appellant furthermore states that the Commissioners' only objection to the location of the proposed pylon sign is that they did not want it visible from Interstate 680, which defeats the purpose of a freeway-oriented sign, which is allowed in the property’s zoning designation.

d) Illumination of the Pylon Sign. The Appellant acknowledges that illumination is a design criteria subject to Planning Commission discretion, but insist that their application adequately addressed this issue. The Appellant states that, as requested by the Commissioners during the initial and first hearing of February 10, 2022, the Appellant reached out to their neighbors, including the Jehovah's Witness Assembly Hall located to the north of their site at 43400 Osgood Road, and Chrisp Company paving contractor located to the south of their site at 43650 Osgood Road. Both owners confirmed to the Appellant that they had no objection to the proposed sign.

The Appellant notes that the nearest residential uses are along Homestead Court, behind a sound wall, approximately 500 feet from the proposed pylon sign. The Appellant points out that no single-family homes back up to or directly face this part of I-680.

In order to address the Commissioners’ concerns, the Appellant revised their application to reduce the overall sign height and area from 40’ and 152 square feet down to 35' and 120 square feet. This is a 12.5% reduction in height and a 21% reduction in sign area. The Appellant states that their proposed pylon sign uses internal lighting to reduce glare and excessive illumination, has an opaque background and only 65 square feet (of the overall 120 square feet) is illuminated.

The Appellant indicates that in addition to the sound wall, the diameter of the proposed pylon sign's support posts further aids in dissipating any light emission from negatively affecting the residential uses. Further, the low height and perpendicular orientation of the sign to Interstate 680 assist in reducing views of the pylon sign from the residences along Homestead Court.

Council Staff Report (ID # 4790) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:26 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 4
ANALYSIS OF THE APPEAL AND APPLICANT’S ASSERTIONS:

As discussed in detail in the Planning Commission staff report (Informational 3), staff has reviewed the proposed freeway-oriented pylon sign for conformance to the General Plan and applicable development standards contained in Fremont Municipal Code (FMC) 18.193.610 [Permissible sign types and corresponding permit type.].

FMC Section 18.193.070, Discretionary Approvals – Evaluation Standard, limits the approval authority’s discretion regarding signs to noncommunicative aspects of the sign. Examples given in this section are size, height, orientation, setback, illumination, spacing, scale, mass of the structure, and compatibility with surrounding area. As mentioned in the Appellant’s appeal letter, there is no mention of discretion as to what constitutes “sufficient” signage on a commercial site beyond the limitation on size. Freeway oriented signage is common for dealerships, both equipment and passenger vehicle, which the Appellant believes is very important for Papé Machinery, to its identity and success. The proposed freeway-oriented pylon sign conforms to the basic permittable sign area allowance contained in FMC

18.193.610 which regulates permissible sign types and sizes for industrially zoned sites.

The Appellant’s letter states that only 10 properties would qualify for this type of freeway- oriented signage along Interstate 680, which staff concurs is correct. The FMC only allows freeway-oriented pylon signs on industrially-zoned properties which are directly abutting a freeway. These 10 parcels are clustered around the Auto Mall Parkway overpass on the western side of the freeway and are all developed with longstanding uses except for the Appellant’s equipment dealership which is under construction. Furthermore, un like neighboring properties, the Appellant’s property is the only site situated along I-680 which is constrained by so many easements, including seven high-voltage lattice towers, which made the construction of their building closer to the freeway infeasible. Other sites, such as the former Fry’s Electronics and the Western Digital facility, which were able to be built closer to Interstate 680, have placed signage on buildings to advertise to freeway traffic.

Due to the existing surrounding character and condition of these properties adjacent to Interstate 680, it is unlikely that additional freeway pylons signs would be proposed.

As previously discussed, the utility and flood control easements which cover much of the project site prevent the construction of large structures near the freeway. The site selected for the pylon sign is the only area on the Appellant’s property near the freeway that is not restricted by an easement. The site is currently crossed by several tall lattice towers and many high voltage lines. The combination of the lattice towers and lines result in significant visual clutter impacting the site. The height of the pylon sign is necessary due to the difference of grade between the freeway and the project site. The design intent recognizes potential visual and aesthetic impacts. For these reasons, staff supports the location and orientation of the proposed pylon sign as it provides the only means of providing signage specifically allowed by the FMC, and that the sign is designed at an appropriate height and size with reduced night illumination, which avoids artificial light pollution and minimizes potential impacts on the character of area and from the freeway.

Internal illumination of the sign would be limited to just the four “PAPÉ” letters and logo being illuminated. The proposed sign cabinet would largely be unilluminated and opaque.

The supports of the sign, which extend beyond the face of the sign cabinet, would help block any potential light spill from the sign if it is able to be perceptible from properties

Council Staff Report (ID # 4790) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:26 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 5
across the freeway. The proposed illumination for the sign should not have an adverse impact on the area or drivers on Interstate 680.

The residential properties on Homestead Court, across Interstate 680, are approximately 500 feet from the project site and behind a tall sound wall. These properties are unlikely to be able to view the sign due to the angle of the sign, the distance, and the sound wall.

While there was no opposition to the project from the public, the Appellant contacted the property owners on either side of their property, as requested by the Planning Commission, to ask for comment on the proposed sign design. Both neighbors, the Jehovah’s Witnesses Meeting Hall and Chrisp Co. paving contractor, provided letters of support for the proposed freeway pylon sign, and the only member of the public that spoke at the December 2022 Planning Commission hearing expressed support for the sign. For these reasons, staff believes the illumination of the sign would not have an adverse impact on the neighboring properties, including the residential properties across Interstate 680.

GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONFORMANCE:

The proposed sign has been designed to be in conformance with the General Plan and the applicable regulations contained in the FMC as described in the December 2022 Planning Commission staff report (Informational 3). As described in the December 2022 staff report to the Planning Commission, the proposed project is consistent with the City’s General Pla n, Zoning, and applicable development standards and polies. The proposed sign would support a construction equipment sales and service dealership which is anticipated to become a major sales tax generator for the City. The General Plan recognizes the importance of these major tax generators and provides means to facilitate the attraction or retention of these businesses by providing special consideration, including anticipating the need for additional signage. For the Appellant, this flagship dealership consolidates regional operations into Fremont. The proposed sign would advertise to potential customers the location of the dealership which will serve construction projects locally and regionally. The Appellant notes this dealership location will serve municipal agencies and utilities in the region and provide equipment for major infrastructure projects in addition to supporting private construction projects, and that the proposed sign is important to promote and identify their business.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Staff recommends the City Council find that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to, without limitation, CEQA Guidelines Section 15311, Accessory Structures, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 in that it is an on-site sign which conforms to the Fremont General Plan and applicable Zoning rules, and that each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL:

Pursuant to FMC Section 18.230.060, in order to approve a Conditional Use Permit, the City Council must make the following findings:

a) The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable community or specific plan, planning and zoning regulations, and any adopted design rules and guidelines;

5.A
Packet Pg. 122
Council Staff Report (ID # 4790) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:26 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 6

Analysis: The existing General Plan land use designation for this site is Service Industrial. The existing zoning designation is Service Industrial (I-S). Freeway oriented pole signs may be allowed in this district subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Design of the sign, including maximum permittable sign area, is in compliance with the zoning ordinance.

b) The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use;

Analysis: The proposed sign would be located at the rear of the site adjacent to Interstate 680. This portion of the project site contains numerous overhead and underground utilities and associated easements. The sign would not be located within any of those easements and will be situated away from the power lines in response to comments from PG&E. Additionally, sufficient area will be provided on the site to accommodate the proposed sign; there will be no encroachments on or over adjoining properties or the freeway right of way.

c) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with development in the vicinity;

Analysis: The project site is adjacent to the Interstate 680 freeway and the sign has been designed to be visible from that freeway. The sign would not be located within or impact any existing onsite easements or power transmission lines. The height of the proposed sign is in response to the elevation of the freeway above the project site grade. The site affords adequate area for the placement of the proposed sign.

d) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or property in the vicinity;

Analysis: The proposed sign would be located entirely within an industrial district and not oriented towards any current residential uses. The nearest residential uses to the proposed sign are located approximately 500 feet away, across Interstate 680 and at the top of a hill. Furthermore, these homes are behind a tall sound wall and located across a residential street from the project site. The sign would be internally illuminated. The Project was submitted to both Caltrans and PG&E for comment early in the project review phase. The Appellant adopted changes to the location of the sign further away from the power lines in response to comments received by PG&E; and no comments were received from Caltrans. The sign would be constructed in accordance with the applicable building codes.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT:

Public hearing notification is applicable. Notices were mailed to owners and occupants of property within 300 feet of the site. A Public Hearing Notice was also published by The Tri- City Voice. The applicant did individualized outreach to the Jehovah’s Witnesses church to the north and the Chrisp Company paving contractor to the south to determine if they had any concerns related to the proposed sign. They reached out. Neither property owner expressed concerns about the proposed sign.

Additionally, sufficient area will be provided on the site to accommodate the proposed sign; there will be no encroachments on or over adjoining properties or the freeway right of way. c) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with development in the vicinity;
Analysis: The project site is adjacent to the Interstate 680 freeway and the sign has been designed to be visible from that freeway. The sign would not be located within or impact any existing onsite easements or power transmission lines. The height of the proposed sign is in response to the elevation of the freeway above the project site grade. The site affords adequate area for the placement of the proposed sign.
d) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or property in the vicinity;
Analysis: The proposed sign would be located entirely within an industrial district and not oriented towards any current residential uses. The nearest residential uses to the proposed sign are located approximately 500 feet away, across Interstate 680 and at the top of a hill.

Furthermore, these homes are behind a tall sound wall and located across a residential street from the project site. The sign would be internally illuminated. The Project was submitted to both Caltrans and PG&E for comment early in the project review phase. The applicant adopted changes to the location of the sign further away from the power lines in

Re: Appeal of Application for Conditional Use Permit – PLN2021-00378

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are the owners of that certain real property commonly known as 43510 Osgood Road, Fremont, California, Assessor's Parcel Number 513-701-7-10 ("Property"), which is the subject of the Application for Conditional Use Permit PLN2021-00378, filed by Ramsay Signs on May 18, 2021 ("Application"). The Application is for a freeway-oriented pylon sign for our new flagship dealership.

Our Application was placed on the February 10, 2022 Planning Commission Agenda. City Staff recommended our Application for approval of the CUP, finding that the request was (i) consistent with the General Plan, (ii) the Property is physically suitable for the proposed use, (iii) the design, location and size of the proposed use are compatible with development in the vicinity, and (iv) the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons or property in the vicinity, all as further discussed in the Planning Commission Report (ID#4527).

Our Application was heard on February 10, 2022, and continued, to allow us time to address the concerns raised by the Planning Commission. Specifically, the Commissioners raised concerns about (i) the overall height, size and light pollution of our proposed Pylon Sign, (ii) allowing our Pylon Sign would set a precedent for other freeway-oriented pylon signs, (iii) the feedback from our neighbors about our proposed Pylon Sign, and (iv) to prepare more visuals and storyboards so the Commissioners could gain a better understanding of what the Pylon Sign would look like.

We took the Planning Commission's concerns under advisement and modified our proposal, erected story pole scaffolding as a mockup of the sign and solicited feedback from our neighbors on our proposed Pylon Sign. Our Application was placed on the December 8, 2022 Planning Commission Agenda. As noted in the Planning Commission Report (ID#4753), City Staff once again recommended our Application for approval.

A motion was made by the Commission to deny City Staff's recommendation to approval the Application. As noted in the Planning Commission Report, the City Staff identified the following four findings are necessary for a conditional use permit: (i) consistent with the General Plan, (ii) the Property is physically suitable for the proposed use, (iii) the design, location and size of the proposed use are compatible with development in the vicinity, and (iv) the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of persons or property in the vicinity. Specifically, the Commission had the following reasons for the denial of our Application: (a) there is already sufficient signage on the building, (b) Commissioners are concerned that approval of the proposed Pylon Sign could result in additional freeway-oriented sign applications along I-680, (c) Commissioners are concerned about the specific location of the sign, and (d) the illumination of the sign. The motion went to a vote with a 4-3 result in favor of the motion to deny the Application.

We, respectfully, appeal the Planning Commission's decision. The proposed Pylon Sign is allowed, in this zone, through a Conditional Use Permit. While the Planning Commission has discretion with respect to the size, height, orientation, setback, location, illumination, spacing, scale and compatibility with the surrounding area, we do not believe their reason for denial of our Application fits within the Commissioners below objections:

1. Already Sufficient Signage. There is a dense grove of mature trees immediately to the north of Property (on the Jehovah's Witness property), that drastically reduces the visibility of our building signage while traveling westbound on I-680. The large high voltage power lines, supported by seven (7) lattice towers, obstruct our building signage while traveling eastbound on I-680. We do not believe this objection fits within the approval criteria outlined in Section 18.193.070 of the Municipal Code (Discretionary approvals – Evaluation standard).

Page 3 ends

2. Precedent. According to the City's Zoning Map, there are only a handful of properties that are allowed this type of freeway-oriented signage. Of those properties, only one remains undeveloped, our Property. The topography of the other properties, in relation to the elevation of I-680, make it either (i) unlikely the property owner will request freeway-oriented signage, or (ii) the property owner is able to place unobstructed building signage (similar to the former Fry's Electronics site), obfuscating the need for freeway-oriented signage. As noted above, our Property is the last undeveloped parcel along I-680. We have spent five years working closely with Fremont Planning and Economic Development on this project, which is strongly supported by City Staff, and we see no mention of "precedent" as criteria for discretionary approval.

3. Location of the Pylon Sign. The Property is adjacent to Interstate 680 and the proposed Pylon Sign is designed to be visible from I-680. The Property is approximately 13 feet lower in grade than I-680. The proposed location of the Pylon Sign, approximately 9 feet from the property line, was selected (and approved by PG&E) because of a multitude of site constraints, including high voltage power lines supported by lattice towers and various flood control easements. The overall aesthetics of the of the Property and surrounding area are already visually impacted by the power lines and lattice towers. The Commissioners' only objection to the location of the proposed Pylon Sign is that they did not want it visible from I-680, which defeats the purpose of a freeway-oriented sign (which is allowed in this zoning designation).

4. Illumination of the Pylon Sign. While illumination is criteria subject to Planning Commission discretion, we trust our Application adequately addresses this issue (as further described herein). As requested by the Commissioners during the February 10, 2022 hearing, we reached out to our neighbors, Jehovah's Witness Assembly Hall is located to the north of the Property (43400 Osgood Road), and Chrisp Company is located to the south of the Property (43650 Osgood Road). Both owners confirmed they had no objection to our proposed Pylon Sign. The nearest residential uses are along Homestead Court, behind a sound wall, approximately 500 feet from the proposed Pylon Sign. No single-family homes back up to or directly face this part of I-680. In order to address the Commissioners concerns, we revised our application to reduce the overall sign height from 40' and 152 square feet, to 35' and 120 square feet. This is a 12.5% reduction in height and a 21%

reduction in sign area. The proposed Pylon Sign using internal lighting (which reduces glare and excessive illumination), has an opaque background and only 65 square feet (of the overall 120 square feet) is illuminated. In addition to the sound wall, the diameter of the Pylon Sign's support posts further aids in dissipating any light emission from negatively affecting the residential uses. Further, the low height and perpendicular orientation of the sign to I-680, assist in reducing views of the Pylon Sign from the residences along Homestead Court.

Given the foregoing, along with no objections made by the public, and the Commissioners lack of any specific reason why the Application does not meet the requirements outlined by City Staff, we respectfully appeal the Planning Commission's decision, and request this matter be heard before the City Council at the next available date.

Sincerely,

Mike Pati

Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow the modified sign as depicted in Exhibit “A ,” based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit “B,” attached hereto.

BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
On June 30, 2020 the Zoning Administrator approved Zoning Administrator Permit PLN2019-00337 for a new heavy equipment dealership and service center at 43 510 Osgood Road. On June 7, 2021, a Master Sign Program was approved for the equipment dealership for all signs, except the freeway-oriented sign which is the subject of this project.

On August 9, 2021 the Planning Manager approved a lot combination (PLN2021 -00007) to facilitate development of the site as a single lot. The dealership is under construction and should be completed by early next year.

On February 10, 2022, concerns were raised by the Planning Commission at the hearing regarding the size and location of the sign . The item was continued to allow the applicant time to consider the concerns, prepare additional visual analyses, and to conduct further outreach with the neighbors. There were no public speakers on the item.

Over the course of several months that followed, the applicant utilized the time to redesign the proposed sign , prepare visual analys es (a flyby simulation video, renderings, and placement of scaffolding at the site as a sign mockup), and conduct out reach with neighboring businesses. The proposed sign modifications are explained in detail under “Project Analysis.”
PROCEDURE FOR TONIGHT’S HEARING
The Planning Commission is charged with the following:

1. Find that the project is exem pt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , without limitation, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15311, Accessory Structures, and 15183, as the project is consistent with the General Plan, for which an Envi ronmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH#2010082060) was previously prepared and certified; and

2. Consider the approval of a Conditional Use Permit, based on findings specified in FMC Section 18.230.060 for a freeway -oriented pole sign and subject to the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit “B.”

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a freeway -oriented pylon sign for their new construction equipment dealership —“Pape”—currently under construction at 43510 Osgood Road. The sign would be located at the rear of the site adjacent to the Interstate 680 Freeway , which is elevated 13 feet above the site’s grade .

The revised pylon sign’s support poles would be 35 feet in height from the site’s existing grade (or 22 feet in hei ght from the elevation of the Freeway) with sign area measuring approximately 117 square feet in size (13’ by 9’).

The General Plan land use designation for the project site is Service Industrial. The Service Industrial designation accommodates a variety of industrial uses which are generally oriented toward local businesses and residents. These include auto repair and servicing, machine shops, woodworking and carpentry shops, equipment rental and storage, small warehouse and delivery operations, self -storage facilities, printers, small wholesalers, and other small-scale industrial operations. A limited number of office, commercial recreation, and group assembly uses also occur within these areas. Service Industri al areas are often located on the perimeter of the City’s larger industrial areas. The portion of Interstate 680 where this proposed sign would be located is not designated a scenic highway in the General Plan. The use is allowed under the General Plan and the proposed pylon sign may be permitted under a Conditional Use Permit.

The following General Plan policies are among those most applicable to this project:

Land Use Policy 2-5.4: Regulation of Employment -Generating Land Uses . Maintain land development regulations which support economic growth and foster achievement of the City’s economic development objectives.

Economic Development Policy 6 ‑1.1: Increasing the Tax Base. Encourage economic development that generates sales tax, property tax, and other r evenues that help sustain municipal services.

Economic Development Policy 6 ‑1.4: Large Sales Tax and Employment Generators.

In order to attract and retain businesses that generate large amounts of sales tax or number of jobs, incentives or special conside rations should be provided to these businesses because of the significant economic benefit they provide to the City. These special considerations may include variations to development standards (e.g., floor area, parking, signage), wayfinding signage in th e public right of way, expedited permit processing, or other considerations to facilitate attraction or retention of these businesses. A business providing such a sales tax benefit that would be eligible for such consideration(s) includes those that generate a minimum of one million dollars or more in annual revenue to the City (including sales tax, property tax, transit occupancy tax, and/or other applicable direct City revenue source) within three years after start of operation of the business. A business providing such an employment generation benefit that would be eligible for such consideration(s) includes those that provide 500 or more jobs within three years after start of operation of the business.

Analysis: The proposed sign would support a constru ction equipment sales and service dealership which is anticipated to become a major sales tax generator for the City. The General Plan recognizes the importance of these major tax generators and provides means to facilitate the attraction or retention of these businesses by providing special consideration including anticipating the need for additional signage. The under-construction dealership consolidates regional operations into Fremont. The proposed sign would advertise to potential customers the loca tion of the dealership which will serve construction projects locally and regionally . The applicant notes this dealership location will serve municipal agencies and utilities in the region and provide equipment for major infrastructure projects in additio n to supporting private construction projects , and that the proposed sign is important to promote and identify their business.

Zoning Compliance
The subject site is zoned Service Industrial (I -S). Chapter 18.193 of the Fremont Municipal Code regulates s igns on private property. On industrial sites, a freeway -oriented pole - mounted sign may be allowed subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission has discretion over the size and design of the sign , but not message content.

The proposed sign completely complies with the maximum allowable sign area and all other applicable standards pursuant to the zoning ordinance. It has been reduced to 35 feet in height. The revised height of the sign is necessary because the Interstate 680 freeway is elevated in this area and there is a high concrete center divide r which could obstruct the view of the sign from the eastbound I-680 lanes. The proposed sign would only be visible from the westbound direction of travel on I -680 for a brief time as there is a curve in the road and numerous trees to the north of the site which would obstruct the view. The plans for the proposed sign are contained within Exhibit “A.”

Design Analysis
The facility the sign would be serving operates as an equipment d ealership. Freeway oriented signage is common for dealerships, both equipment and passenger vehicle. The initial proposal previously considered by the Planning Commission was a 40-foot-tall sign with 152 square feet of sign area. The current revised pro posal is a 35-foot-tall sign with 120 square feet of sign area, a 12.5% reduction in height and a 21% reduction in sign area.

The current sign has not moved closer to the freeway as it is still 9’ from the property line.

The two cylindrical sign supports are two feet – five inches in diameter and painted with a bronze finish. The sign supports are 35 feet tall, the sign cabinet is mounted two feet below the tops of the supports. The sign area itself is black with yellow and white text. The tex t of the sign is translucent to allow internal lighting to illuminate the text of the sign without causing glare or excessive illumination of the site or neighbors. The proposed sign conforms to the standards contained in FMC 18.193.610, Permissible Sign Types and Corresponding Permit Type within Industrial Land Use Designations.

The proposed location for the sign was selected due to a multitude of site constraints, including utility and flood control easements. Furthermore, because of large high voltage power lines supported by lattice towers located on the site and within close proximity to the freeway frontage , the aesthetics of the site and surrounding area are already visually impacted to a great extent.

As previously mentioned, the adjacent I -680 freeway i s approximately 13 feet higher in grade than the project site. The bottom of the sign cabinet is approximately 20 feet above grade leaving only approximately seven feet from the roadway to the bottom of the sign.

Furthermore, there is a solid guard rail which extends several feet above the freeway grade which would further reduce the apparent height of the sign.

The applicant has installed a scaffolding structure to demonstrate the height difference and visibility of a sign at the project site. The sc affolding has colored mesh placed at 30’ and 40’ from the grade. The structure remains in place at the project site to allow viewing by

the Planning Commission and the public prior to the hearing. The applicant has provided a diagram showing the previous and current sign proposals in relation to the freeway (Informational 1).

Compatibility With Surrounding Uses
The nearest residential uses to the proposed sign are along Homestead Court , approximately 500 feet from the proposed sign and behind a sound wa ll. No single-family homes back up to or directly face this part of Interstate 680. The mixed-use project across the freeway from the project site has halted construction and there has been no work on that site in several years.

There is a dense grove of mature trees immediately to the north of the proposed sign on the Jehovah’s Witnesses Assembly Hall property which would drastically reduce the visibility of the sign from the westbound I-680 lanes. City staff visited the site after the applicant had installed a scaffolding structure as a mockup to demonstrate the height of the proposed sign. The proposed sign appears to only be visible for a few second s from this direction at normal freeway speeds. The sign would be visible from the eastbound I-680 lanes from the Auto Mall Parkway overpass. Photos taken of the scaffolding structure showed that from a passenger vehicle, the bottom of the sign was visually slightly above the freeway center divider wall.

The lighting of the proposed sign is not antici pated to cause any objectionable or safety concerns to neighboring properties or motorists traveling along the freeway. The diameter of the support posts should further help block any potential light spill over from negatively affecting the residential uses across the freeway from the site, as would their existing sound wall. Additionally, the low height of the sign in comparison to the I -680 freeway and the perpendicular orientation of the sign would assist in reducing views of the sign from the residences as well. This section of Interstate 680 adjacent to the project site is not designated a scenic route in the Fremont General Plan, nor is it a designated scenic route by Caltrans.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL

Pursuant to FMC Section 18.230.060, in order to ap prove a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must make the following findings:

a) The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable community or specific plan, planning and zoning regulations, and any adopted design rules and guidelines;

Analysis: The existing General Plan land use designation for this site is Service Industrial. The existing zoning designation is Service Industrial (I-S). Freeway oriented pole signs may be allowed in this district subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Design of the sign, including maximum permittable sign area, is in compliance with the zoning ordinance.

b) The site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the proposed use;

Analysis: The proposed sign would be located a t the rear of the site adjacent to Interstate 680. This portion of the project site contains numerous overhead and underground utilities and associated easements. The sign would not be located within any of those easements and will be situated away from th e power lines in response to comments from PG&E. Additionally, sufficient area will be provided on the site to accommodate the proposed sign; there will be no encroachments on or over adjoining properties or the freeway right of way.

c) The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with development in the vicinity;

Analysis: The project site is adjacent to the Interstate 680 freeway and the sign has been designed to be visible from that freeway. The sign would not be located within or impact any existing onsite easements or power transmission lines. The height of the proposed sign is in response to the elevation of the freeway above the project site grade. The site affords adequate area for the placement of the proposed sign.

d) The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or property in the vicinity;

Analysis: The proposed sign would be located entirely within an industrial district and not oriented towards any cur rent residential uses. The nearest residential uses to the proposed sign are located approximately 500 feet away, across Interstate 680 and at the top of a hill. Furthermore, these homes are behind a tall sound wall and located across a residential street from the project site. The sign would be internally illuminated. The Project was submitted to both Caltrans and PG&E for comment early in the project review phase. The applicant adopted changes to the location of the sign further away from the power lines in response to comments received by PG&E; and no comments were received from Caltrans. The sign would be constructed in accordance with the applicable building codes.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per, without limitation, CEQA Guidelines Section 15311, Accessory Structures in that it is an onsite sign. Additionally, no further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15 183, as the project is consistent with the General Plan, for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH#2010082060) was previously prepared and certified. Each of the foregoing provides a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT
Public hearing notification is applicable. Notices were mailed to owners and occupants of property within 300 feet of the site. The notices to owners and occupants were mailed on November 28, 2022. A Public Hearing Notice was published by The Tri-City Voice on November 22, 2022.

IMPACT FEE DEFERRAL - Report Back and Request for Direction on Impact Fee Deferral Policy for Market Rate Residential Development Projects Contact Persons:

Executive Summary: At its December 6, 2022 meeting, Council approved a 13.65% increase in development impact fees effective July 1, 2023 to keep pace with increases in construction costs as measured by the Engineering News-Record’s Bay Area Construction Cost Index. In conjunction with the fee increase, Council directed staff to return to Council with information regarding potentially allowing market-rate housing developers to defer payment of impact fees. Council also requested that staff analyze the possibility of phasing in the 13.65% increase in six-month increments.

This report provides background regarding the City’s fee deferral program and includes a discussion of the potential consequences of restoring a fee deferral option for market-rate residential developments. Staff requests direction from Council on whether or not to initiate an ordinance revision to reinstate these fee deferrals.

Staff does not recommend phasing in the already-adopted 13.65% increase due to operational challenges that phasing would introduce.

BACKGROUND: Development impact fees are established under the Government Code Section 66000 et. seq., known as the Mitigation Fee Act. This act allows local agencies to establish fees to charge new development their fair share of the cost to expand or construct new public facilities to support this new development.

Fremont has five development impact fees, including: Traffic; Capital; Fire; Park Facilities; and Parkland, as described below:

• Traffic impact fees fund traffic facilities needed to serve new development, including intersection improvements, roadway segment improvements (distances between intersections), bicycle and pedestrian improvements (e.g., sidewalks, bike lanes), signal interconnect improvements (adjustments to signal timing as traffic patterns and intensity change), and general signal/intersection projects (i.e., conversion of non-signalized to signalized intersections when warranted). • Capital facilities fees fund the construction or purchase of buildings, land, and equipment that are part of the system of capital facilities serving new development (e.g., city administration, senior service facilities, police facilities, library service facilities).
• Fire facilities fees fund fire protection facilities in the form of buildings and equipment needed to serve new development.

Packet Pg. 158
Council Staff Report (ID # 4783) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:17 PM by Susan Gauthier A Page 2
• Park facilities fees fund the initial facilities and improvements (e.g., play areas, restrooms, ball fields) at City parks.
• Parkland fees fund the acquisition of new parkland to maintain the City’s standard of five acres of parkland per 1,000 residents.

In addition, residential projects sometimes owe two additional fees that were not established under the Mitigation Fee Act but which are also potentially eligible for deferral:

• Art District Fees: There are four zoning districts that require payment of an art fee:

Downtown, City Center, Warm Springs Innovation, and Ardenwood Technology Park Planned District (PD-2015-23).
• Affordable Housing In-lieu Fees: Under the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, residential developers have the option to pay a fee toward off-site construction of affordable housing in-lieu of building on-site affordable housing.

Until 2009, the impact fee ordinance required payment of impact fees prior to building permit issuance. In 2009, in response to a slowdown in development activity due to the economic recession, Council approved an amendment to the development impact fee ordinance to allow deferral of fee payment up to 18 months after building permit issuance or prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, whichever came first.

In 2019, Council voted to eliminate the fee deferral option for market rate residential projects of two or more units. Reasons for the change included the fact that market rate residential development was exceeding Fremont’s target as established through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process, suggesting deferral wasn’t needed to incentivize market rate projects; as well as recognition that the sooner the City received the fee payments, the sooner the funds could be used for fee-supported purposes. The deferral option was retained for affordable housing and for non-residential projects.

As part of the impact fee program, Council typically authorizes annual index-based adjustments to fees to reflect changes in the cost of providing public infrastructure. On December 6, 2022, Council considered an increase in impact fees of 13.65%, effective July 1, 2023. This proposed increase was the highest proposed annual adjustment on record due to unprecedented construction cost increases in the preceding year.

During the public hearing on the proposed increase, a speaker representing the Building Industry Association stated that the 13.65% increase would be difficult for developers to accommodate, and requested that Council reinstate the impact fee deferral for market rate residential developers as a way to help market-rate residential projects remain financially feasible.

As part of its adoption of the increase, Council directed staff to return with information regarding the pros and cons of restoring the fee deferral option. Council also asked for information regarding an option where the 13.65% increase would be gradually phased in rather than made effective in its entirety on July 1, 2023.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Fee Collections

The total amount of impact fees collected by the City (i.e. from residential and non- residential projects combined) over the past several years are shown below:

Fiscal Year Fees Collected No. of Projects Subject to Fees

2015/16 $23.3 million 232

2016/17 $46.6 million 450

2017/18 $37.2 million 278

2018/19 $43.4 million 240

2019/20 $66.3 million* 163

2020/21 $35.2 million 168

2021/22 $21.3 million 124

*Fee deferral option was eliminated for market rate residential projects on October 1, 2019.

Many factors feed into the amount of revenue collected. The number and type of projects permitted, fee levels (which go up over time due to indexed increases), and the rules in place at the time all affect impact fee payments. However, a reasonable interpretation of the City’s fee collection data is:

• revenues were strong and relatively steady from FY 2016/17 to FY 2018/19; • when the fee deferral option was eliminated on October 1, 2019, it resulted in a one- time surge in revenues as the City received both deferred fee payments from projects permitted in 2018 and non-deferred payments for projects permitted between October 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020;
• revenues subsequently diminished as deferred payments for market rate residential projects ended and as the number of construction projects subject to impact fees declined.

Analysis

The effect of restoring the fee deferral option is difficult to predict but likely would be mixed.

On the one hand, by collecting the fees later, the City would use the fees later for infrastructure/affordable housing, which would cost money in an environment of escalating construction costs such as that existing today. There would also be an opportunity cost associated with infrastructure not being able to be utilized as soon.

On the other hand, restoring fee deferrals will lower borrowing costs for residential development, which in some cases could be a deciding factor as to whether or not the

6.A
Packet Pg. 160
Council Staff Report (ID # 4783) Meeting of February 7, 2023 Updated: 2/2/2023 11:17 PM by Susan Gauthier A Page 4
project is built. If the fee deferral resulted in more projects being built, it might result in greater total revenues, allowing for more infrastructure/affordable housing to be constructed.

Also, if the fee deferral resulted in more residential projects moving forward, it would assist the City in meeting its RHNA allocations for both market-rate and affordable units.

From an administrative standpoint, reinstating the fee deferral option for market rate residential development would be straightforward, as the systems are already in place for deferrals related to affordable housing and commercial projects.

Phased Increase

Staff also evaluated the option of phasing in the 13.65% increase in two or more increments. This option would provide a lesser amount of savings to developers and impose lesser opportunity costs to the City than reinstating the fee deferral. However, th is option would be considerably more administratively complex. During the phase-in period, it would essentially double the amount of staff time involved, as it would be a combination of paying fees at the time of permit and deferring fees until a later date. If the phased increase was a one-time approach rather than an ongoing policy, it would also require that all projects approved in FY 2023/24 be governed by unique rules compared to all other projects before and after, which would be difficult for staff to track and manage. Staff therefore does not recommend that Council pursue the phased payment option.

Process Moving Forward

Should Council opt to reinstate fee deferrals for market rate residential projects, staff would draft revisions to 18.290.070 of the Fremont Municipal Code. As with all proposed amendments to the Zoning Code, the Planning Commission would review the proposed language and make a recommendation to Council. Council would then consider the proposed language and the Commission’s recommendation before voting on the amendment. Staff anticipates that the process could be completed in time for the deferral option to go into effect on July 1, 2023 (the same date that the fee increase takes effect).

PUBLIC NOTICE: On January 24, 2023 , n otice of tonight's development impact fee discussion was sent to the 2,816 subscribers to the City’s Builders Interest List. The Builders Interest List is used to notify interested persons about construction and development service updates, development fees, policy and program changes, and related outreach efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT: As noted above, the impact of reinstatement of the fee deferral would result in a delay in fee collections, but overall fees would potentially increase if the deferral resulted in more projects being built.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Direction from Council regarding the possible reinstatement of impact fee deferrals for market rate residential projects is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), without limitation,per CEQA Guidelines 15378(b)(2), (4) and/or (5) as a organizational, administrative and/or funding meachansms that do not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment;, and.or ection 15061(b)(3) in that it is not a project that has the potential to cause a significant
