COUNCIL STAFF REPORT (ID # 5101) DOC ID: 5101
Updated: 3/15/2024 3:01 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 1
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION CONTRACT PREVAILING WAGE ADJUSTMENT - Approve Payment of $252,647 to Settle Retroactive Component of Prevailing Wage Extraordinary Adjustment Claim with Republic Services Contact Persons:
Name: Kathleen Cote-Guarnieri LaShawn Butler
Title: Environmental Services Manager Interim Community Services Director
Div/Dept: Environmental Services Community Services
Phone: 510-494-4583 (510) 494-4329
E-Mail: [email protected] [email protected]
Executive Summary: The City has a franchise agreement with Republic Services for the collection of all municipal solid waste, recycling and organic waste generated within the City.
A significant component of solid waste collection costs is driver labor, and Republic Services is required to pay prevailing wage. The prevailing wage rates that went into effect in July 2022 (7.2%) and subsequently increased in July 2023 (5.35%) were higher than the CPI allowance that had been incorporated in the biennial rate setting calculations . Republic Services submitted a request for an extraordinary compensation review to address this discrepancy and staff recommended settling the extraordinary claim in two segments. A prevailing wage component was incorporated into the 2024-2025 rate setting calculations to ensure collection rates would be sufficient to cover driver labor costs incurred from January 1, 2024, forward.
As indicated in the rate setting City Council report, staff is returning to the City Council with a recommendation on the retroactive component of Republic Service’s extraordinary cost claim for July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023. Staff is recommending a lump sum payment of $252,647 to settle the claim. This payment would be funded from the Integrated Waste Management Unallocated Fund Balance (Fund 115) maintained expressly for one time or unexpected solid waste costs occurring between rate setting periods. There would be no General Fund impact.
Staff is recommending the City Council authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement for the Collection, Processing, and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste to settle Republic Service’s extraordinary claim and make the required updates to the impacted provisions of the contract.
BACKGROUND:
Prevailing Wage Adjustment: Republic Services is required to pay prevailing wages to its collection drivers who are represented by International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 70 (Teamsters Local 70). Solid waste collection driver classifications are not included in the general prevailing wage determinations published by the Department of Labor Relations so prevailing wage is therefore determined by collective bargaining agreements. Waste Management employs the largest number of drivers in any single driver wage classification

Council Staff Report (ID # 5101) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 3:01 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
in Alameda County; therefore, the Collective Bargaining Agreement between Waste Management and Teamsters Local 70 establishes the prevailing wages applicable to all solid waste providers operating in Alameda County. The prevailing wage increase that went into effect in July 2022 (7.2%), and subsequently increased in July 2023 (5.3%), was higher than the variable component adjustment incorporated in the biennial rate setting calculations.
Variable Component Adjustment: The biennial rate setting calculations specified in the Republic Services Agreement includes a variable component designed to capture CPI and labor cost increases for collection services. Historically, the adjustment has used a blended index consisting of 88% CPI and 12% US City Average Health Insurance Index. For the 2024-2025 rate setting calculations, the blended index was modified to 45% CPI, 12% US City Average Health Index, and 43% prevailing wage adjustment, to address prevailing wages moving forward and calculate increases more accurately. Staff is recommending revising the contract language to incorporate this refinement into the biennial rate setting process.
Commercial Recycling Rates: Commercial recycling rates are set at 75% of the commercial refuse rate for each bin size and frequency level. Historically, the City has not offered 6-day per week recycling services. After the 2024-2025 rates were adopted by the City Council, Republic Services received several customer requests for 6-day per week recycling service.
To respond to customer demand in a timely manner, staff recommends adding a 6-day per week commercial recycling service level to the rate matrix as part of the second amendment rather than deferring the item to the 2026-2027 rate setting cycle.
Health Insurance Index: Staff discovered an inconsistency with the Health Insurance Index language between the City’s franchise agreements. Language clarifying that the biennial adjustment will be no less than the CPI was inadvertently omitted from the City’s Restated Agreement with Republic Services. Staff recommends updating the language as part of the second amendment to provide consistency with the City’s other franchise agreements.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The portion of labor expense eligible for extraordinary compensation review is limited to the difference between the prevailing wage increase (as determined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement) and the CPI increase. Therefore, the prevailing wage extraordinary costs for the period of July 2022 through December 2023 were calculated as described below:
• Summarized labor operating costs for the period of July 2022-June 2023, and July 2023–December 2023 ($22,232,528 and $11,330,154 respectively) • Calculated Fremont’s labor operating costs using the driver hours allocation for the two periods (70.00% or $15,562,769 and 69.35% or $7,857,253 respectively) • Calculated the CBA increase above the CPI (eligible percentage) for the two periods (0.401% and 2.421% respectively)
• Applied the eligible percentage to Fremont’s labor cost for the two periods ($62,442 and $190,205 respectively)
Using this methodology, the recommended compensation payment for prevailing wage extraordinary costs for July 2022-December 2023 is $252,647.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5101) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 3:01 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 3
FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended lump sum payment would be funded from the Integrated Waste Management Unallocated Fund Balance (Fund 115) maintained expressly for one-time or unexpected solid waste costs occurring between rate-setting periods. There would be no General Fund impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed action is exempt from and not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because, without limitation, it is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) and/or 15378(b)(5) and it has no possibility of a significant effect on the environment, as specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance.
ATTACHMENTS: None.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to execute the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement for the Collection, Processing, and Disposal of Municipal Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste.
2. Appropriate $252,647 from the Integrated Waste Management Fund Unallocated Fund Balance for the lump sum settlement payment.

ON-CALL TREE MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL GROUNDWORK AND DEBRIS REMOVAL SERVICES - Award Agreements and Authorize the City Manager or her Designee to Execute On-Call Tree Maintenance and General Groundwork and Debris Removal Services Agreements with BrightView Tree Services, Rapid Response and West Coast Arborists

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to authorize the approval of three separate maintenance agreements for on-call tree trimming, maintenance and general groundwork and debris removal within City parks, medians, right of ways, and other City owned parcels.
BACKGROUND: In 2017, tree related safety and maintenance issues increased, and the staff identified the need for on-call contractual tree maintenance services support. On March 13, 2018, the City Council approved the initial agreements to address the City’s on call tree trimming, maintenance and general groundwork and debris removal needs Citywide. Four vendors were selected via Request for Proposal (RFP) 18-012 to address these needs: Brightview Tree Care Services, Imhof, Professional Tree Care Company, and West Coast Arborists, with the City option to decide which vendors to extend terms through June 30, 2024.
This work has advanced preventative maintenance measures and aided efforts to manage safety and liability tree issues throughout the City. City staff has worked with these vendors to identify potential tree issues to support proactive tree work to mitigate potential hazards.
Additionally, these contractors have added capacity to the City’s response efforts to meet the ongoing community and weather-related demand for tree services, which has totaled over 140 task orders at a cost of $2.15 million to date.
Staff anticipates preventative measures to mitigate risk, community and weather-related demand will continue to be leading causes for tree services requiring City service response.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: A Request for Proposals (RFP 24-010) for On-Call Tree Trimming, Maintenance and General Groundwork and Debris Removal to renew this service was publicly advertised on September 8, 2023. The maintenance service categories identified in the scope of services include the following:
1. Tree pruning
2. Tree removal
3. Tree planting

Council Staff Report (ID # 5094) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:19 PM by Susan Gauthier A Page 2
4. Emergency response
5. Line clearance pruning
6. Clearance pruning
7. Specialty equipment rental
8. Arborist services/inspection
9. Groundwork (e.g., but not limited to shrub pruning and clearance)
10. Debris Removal
11. Additional work
12. GPS Tree inventory
The City received eight competitive proposals in response to RFP 24-010. An evaluation panel consisting of City staff rated the proposals using the scoring criteria included in the RFP. The scoring weighed qualifications, feasibility, costs, responsiveness and meeting the City’s service agreement terms. Based on the scoring results the following contractors are eligible for service agreements:
1. Brightview Tree Services
2. Rapid Response
3. West Coast Arborist
Multiple eligible contract awards will provide the City with the capacity to continue to promptly address tree maintenance services. These agreements will have various values based on the work the City requires. All contractors were required to provide hourly rates for the services advertised in the RFP.
Staff is recommending awarding three contracts, Brightview Tree Services, Rapid Response and West Coast Arborist, each having a five-year term through June 30, 2029. The annual not-to-exceed amount for each contractor will vary depending on the type of work assigned, but staff doesn’t anticipate the combined total cost exceeding $540,000 in any year. Compensation adjustments of up to 5% may be considered each July 1st after June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funding for these on-call tree maintenance services is included in the Fiscal Year 2023/24-2027/28 Adopted Capital Improvement Plan and is allocated in the Capital Maintenance Replacement for Parks project (PWC 8501). Since these are on-call services, the approval of future services is subject to the availability of fundin g.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Approval of on-call tree maintenance agreements is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because any environmental impacts associated with any specific tree maintenance activity are speculative at this time, and it is anticipated that compliance with Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 18.218 (Standard Development Requirements) will be sufficient to avoid such impacts. Typical tree maintenance activities will be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15301(h) (maintenance of existing landscaping), but further review may be necessary on a case-by-case basis.

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate administrative adjustments to the City’s Capital Budget by: 1) returning unused appropriations to their respective funding source; 2) reallocating unused appropriations to other existing projects; and 3) exchanging the source of project funding for some items. The recommended actions include “closing out” 14 completed projects.
BACKGROUND: The City’s current 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Capital Budget was approved by the City Council in June 2023 and includes investments in the amount of approximately $296 million for the repair and improvement of the City’s parks, buildings, and transportation system. The City currently manages over 220 capital projects in various stages of development that have received an appropriation of funds by the City Council. The majority of these projects are successfully managed by staff through project completion, consistent with initial budget appropriation amounts. Staff also pursues funds from internal and outside sources whenever possible to either wholly fund or offset City project expenses.
Typically, during the mid-year timeframe, staff identifies various administrative adjustments to the Capital Budget for City Council approval to allow for: closing out completed projects; adapting to changing circumstances; and enabling the most effective use of funds.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The following describes various funding actions recommended in this staff report.
Project Closeouts
Upon completion of right-of-way acquisition, construction and other related activities, some capital projects have remaining budget appropriations. Historically, projects with over- expended balances are offset against projects with under-expended balances within the fund, and all are closed simultaneously. Staff periodically requests City Council approval to close projects and return unused funds to available fund balance for appropriation in the next Capital Budget cycle, return to granting agencies, or appropriate to active capital projects as reflected on Exhibit A. A total of 14 projects are proposed for a “CLOSEOUT” action.
2.E
Packet Pg. 17
Council Staff Report (ID # 5095) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:29 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
A notable project closeout action is the termination of the “39180 Liberty Street Acquisition” project, which will result in returning $6.7 million to the Strategic Investment Opportunities Reserve.
Project Defund and Reallocation of Funds
Staff has identified some active or ongoing projects with remaining appropriations that are in excess of current project needs or where it is beneficial to fund the project with another source of funding as shown on Exhibit A as a “DEFUND” action. The funds then are either made available for appropriation in the next Capital Budget cycle, returned to granting agencies, or appropriated to active capital projects.
A State grant from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program was received and approved by Council action on February 21, 2023. At that time $4.3 million was allocated to the PWC8946 Centerville Complete Streets project. The grant funds are intended to be allocated for two projects with $2.8 million remaining in the Centerville Complete Streets project and $1.5 million used for a new project to improve the Centerville Train Depot plaza. Accordingly, it is recommended that $1.5 million is defunded from the Centerville Complete Streets project and reallocated to the new PWC9113 Centerville Train Depot Plaza Improvements project.
A new project appropriation is proposed to develop an improvement at the Mowry Avenue pump station site, located west of Mission Boulevard, to address issues with reoccurring mudslides, flooding, and road closures due to storm events. It is recommended that $200,000 be reallocated from PWC8933 Measure BB Projects (City Staff Participation) to establish the PWC9114 Mowry Pump Station Site Improvements project.
In addition, the current CIP provided for an additional General Fund transfer to the CIP in an amount of $5.5 million to support Pavement Maintenance ($2.5 million), Building Maintenance ($2 million), and Park Maintenance ($1 million). As part of the Midyear Budget Report presented on March 5, 2024, the City Council approved amending the Capital Budget to return some of these funds back to the General Fund as follows: defunding the $4.5 million transfer to Pavement Maintenance and Building Maintenance in FY 2023/24 and the $5.5 million transfer to Pavement Maintenance, Building Maintenance and Park Maintenance in FY 2024/25.
Project Appropriations
As funds become available through project closeout and defunding, or from new funding allocations, eligible projects are identified to receive funds. Recommended appropriations include active projects receiving budget augmentation for project completion or continuation of existing programs and reallocation of funding sources. A list of project “APPROPRIATION” actions is included in Exhibit A. Among the recommended actions includes a transfer of $20,000 from the Integrated Management Open Space Account in the Integrated Waste Management Fund (Fund 115) to the Outside Sources Capital Projects Fund (Fund 502) for appropriation to the Sabercat Trail Extension Project (PWC8977), as well as an appropriation of private development in-lieu fees from Steel Wave LP in an amount of $100,000 to the PWC8493 Kato Road Complete Streets project.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5095) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:29 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 3
FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended actions will: 1) close out 14 projects and return $7.1 million to fund balance for reprogramming; 2) defund eight projects which will return an additional $7.3 million to fund balance for reprogramming; and 3) reprogram $9.9 million among existing projects and two new projects.
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.

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to facilitate the procurement of on-call Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and soil testing consulting services as needed to support the timely development of projects funded through the City’s Capital Improvem ent Program (CIP).
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. The work performed under these agreements will address Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects, such as parks and public works projects, to be undertaken in the next five years, many of which will require environmental site assessment and soil testing services. These agreements will allow the City to expediently develop plans, specifications, and budgets without delay to project schedules.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In November 2023, the City published a Request for Proposals for On-Call ESA and Soil Testing Consultant Services. The selected consultants will work under a five-year Master Service Agreement.
Ten proposals were received from the following consultant firms, listed alphabetically:
Blackburn Consultant, BSK Associates, EFI Global, ENGEO, Farallon Consulting, Millenium Consulting Associates, Ninyo & Moore, Partner Engineering and Science, SCA Environmental, and TRC Solutions.
An evaluation panel comprised of City staff evaluated all of the proposals based on the completeness of the proposal, project scope and understanding, overall experience to perform the required services, evaluation of assigned personnel and their experience, billing rates, and the Consultant’s overall project approach.
Based on the results of that evaluation, staff recommends that City Council award contracts for On-Call ESA and Soil Testing Consultant Services to three consulting firms; 1) Millennium Consulting Associates, 2) Partner Engineering and Science, and 3) TRC Solutions, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,250,000 each over a period of five years.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5096) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:33 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 2
FISCAL IMPACT: All task order work issued, and work performed by the consultants under the on-call Master Service Agreements will be restricted to the funds appropriated and available for the specific project for which the work is required.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Environmental review is not required because award of these agreements 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 these contracts 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 for which the consulta nts will provide services will be subject to appropriate environmental review.
ATTACHMENTS: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a Master Service Agreement with the following consultants:
1. Millennium Consulting Associates for On-Call ESA and Soil Testing Consultant Services for a total not to exceed amount of $1,250,000 for five years.
2. Partner Engineering and Science for On-Call ESA and Soil Testing Consultant Services for a total not to exceed amount of $1,250,000 for five years.
3. TRC Solutions, Inc. for On-Call ESA and Soil Testing Consultant Services for a total not to exceed amount of $1,250,000 for five years.
4. Find that the actions are exempt from environmental review, each as a separate and independent basis for CEQA compliance, under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15378 (administrative and funding activity not a “project” under CEQA) and Section 15061 (no possibility the activity may have significant effect on the environment).

Executive Summary: AT&T Mobility requested a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to remove an existing eucalyptus tree and install an 80-foot tall stealth wireless telecommunication facility designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree (monoeucalyptus) in its place and an associated equipment enclosure on the Ohlone College Campus at 43600 Mission Boulevard.
The project received a recommendation from the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) and was approved by the Planning Commission. A third-party appeal was filed asking the City Council to deny the Conditional Use Permit on the grounds that the proposed facility is unnecessary, will negatively impact public health, is not the least intrusive means to close the gap in service, and is located too close to residential properties. Staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the proposed monoeucalyptus and associated equipment enclosure to be constructed.
BACKGROUND: The subject third-party appeal requests that the City Council overturn the approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an AT&T wireless facility consisting of an 80 -foot tall stealth monopole disguised as a eucalyptus tree (“monoeucalyptus”) and associated ground equipment enclosure proposed to be located on the Ohlone College Campus. The project was previously reviewed by the Historical Architectural Review Board and the Planning Commission, as detailed below.
Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) Review and Recommendation The subject site is located within the Mission San Jose Historical Overlay District (HOD). Per Chapter 18.135.050 of the Fremont Municipal Code (FMC), new buildings, structures and
5.A
Packet Pg. 24

signage within the HOD require review by the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) for compatibility with the applicable design guidelines of the HOD.
On September 7, 2023, a public hearing was conducted by HARB to consider the project.
The project was found to be compliant with the Mission San Jose HOD Guidelines and was recommended by HARB for approval. See attached HARB minutes attached as Informational Enclosure 1.
Planning Commission Action
On October 26, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted to approve staff’s recommendation supporting the proposed facility’s CUP. The project was opposed by several neighborhood residents who were concerned with the impacts of radio frequency radiation (“RF emissions”), particularly on students at the college. Community members also brought up concerns regarding wireless service in the area and whether the site was the most appropriate location for a wireless facility.
Staff indicated during the Planning Commission hearing that it recommended approval of the application on the grounds that the facility: (a) is in compliance with the requirements set forth in FMC Chapter 18.187 and Chapter Four of the Citywide Design Guidelines; (b) would be set back 700 feet from the nearest residential property; and (c) would be designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree so that it would not be visually intrusive. The applicant provided evidence that the tower’s radio frequency (RF) emissions would be well below federal standards. To demonstrate a need for the tower, the applicant also showed “before and after” coverage maps, discussed the rising need for cell reception in the area, and explained the impact of current demands for service on other cell towers in the vicinity . See attached Coverage Maps as Informational Enclosure 8. Finally, the applicant explained efforts taken to identify alternative sites and the reasons those sites were rejected. See attached Planning Commission minutes attached as Informational Enclosure 2.
Appeal
An Appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to the City Council was filed by Salil Suri on November 3, 2023. The Appeal asserts that the proposed facility is unnecessary, will negatively impact public health, is not the least intrusive means to close the gap in service, and is located too close to residential properties. The Appeal letter is included in the attachments as Informational Enclosure 4 and the applicant’s (AT&T) response is attached as Informational Enclosure 5.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Project Description and Setting
The project site is located on the Ohlone Community College campus adjacent to an existing parking lot approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard and approximately 655 feet to the south of Witherly Lane. The area is within a fully developed section of the campus between the Administrative Services Offices and the Business and Technology building known as “Hyman Hall”. The wireless facility would be located in a landscaped area at the southeast rear portion of the parking lot. One existing mature eucalyptus tree would be removed and replaced with the monoeucalyptus in the same location.
The proposed 80-foot monoeucalyptus would contain nine antennas in three arrays of three antennas each, all located within the top branches of the monoeucalyptus. The proposed
5.A
Packet Pg. 25
Council Staff Report (ID # 5084) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:12 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 3
monoeucalyptus and associated ground-based equipment would be located within a secured 900 square-foot leased area of the project site.
See Informational Enclosure 3 for the Planning Commission Report for the project.
Federal Regulations Governing Telecommunication Facilities The City Council’s consideration of the project is governed by both the City’s zoning regulations and the Federal Telecommunications Act. Under the City’s regulations, the project must be consistent with the General Plan and zoning for the site and comply with the development standards for wireless facilities set forth in FMC Chapter 18.187 and Chapter Four of the Citywide Design Guidelines.
The Federal Communications Act limits the Council’s consideration of the project under these local standards in two significant ways. First, federal law prohibits the City from conditioning or denying the project based on concerns stemming from the environmental effects of RF emissions if the proposed facility complies with federal RF standards.
Regulation of RF emissions is preemptively regulated by the FCC. Local governments can require applicants to meet the FCC standards but cannot require lower radio frequency emission. (see 47 U.S.C. Sec. 332(c)(7)(B)(iv).
Second, federal law prohibits the City from denying a project if it has the effect of prohibiting the provision of wireless services, by materially limiting or inhibiting the ability of any competitor or potential competitor to compete in a fair and balanced regulatory environment.” (FCC Order 18-133 (Sept. 27, 2018). An effective “prohibition” exists if a city’s denial ”materially limits or inhibits the ability of any competitor or potential competitor to compete in a fair and balanced legal and regulatory environment.” (See FCC Order 18- 133 Part III A.35 and Part III C.82). In essence, the City may not deny an application if (a) the facility is necessary to fill a significant gap in the applicant’s own wireless network; and (b) the facility is the least intrusive means of filling the service gap.
Grounds of the Appeal
The appellant has listed seven grounds for their Appeal within Informational Enclosure 4.
The grounds of the Appeal and brief responses by the City are as follows. Please also see applicant’s letter, in Informational Enclosure 5, which contains responses to the assertions raised in the Appeal:
Ground #1: The Appeal asserts that under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines, the City of Fremont has freedom and power to regulate issues related to cell towers as long as it does not adopt its own radiation permissible exposure level.
The Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “Act”) severely restricts the ability of local governments to regulate or deny wireless telecommunication facility installations. Under the Act, local governments retain the ability to regulate installations for certain limited purposes (such as aesthetics). However, local governments are preempted from regulating or denying wireless installations based on concerns regulating radio frequency (“RF”) emissions. Local governments can require applicants to meet the FCC standards but cannot require lower radio frequency emission. (See 47 U.S.C. Sec. 332(c)(7)(B)(iv)). In addition, the City cannot deny an application if it would utilize the least intrusive means for filling a significant service coverage gap within the applicant’s own network.

Council Staff Report (ID # 5084) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:12 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 4
The proposed project does not meet the standards for denial under the applicable requirements. As discussed below, the applicant has provided evidence that the proposed facility would be the least intrusive means for filling an identified significant gap in service coverage. FMC Chapter 18.187 — Wireless Facilities, as well as Chapter Four of the Fremont Citywide Design Guidelines, contain the requirements established for wireless telecommunication facilities. The proposed project was found to comply with these requirements, including setback, height, stealth design, and filling a gap in wireless coverage.
The proposal complies with all applicable requirements to comply with the RF exposure limitations set forth by the FCC. The applicant provided an RF report prepared by Waterford Consultants stating that the proposed wireless facility is within the FCC limits for RF exposure. See Informational Enclosure 6.
Ground #2: The Appeal asserts that there is no service gap in the Mission Tierra Area.
The applicant submitted coverage maps demonstrating that there is a significant service coverage gap in the area of Mission Boulevard and the project site. These maps show that AT&T lacks adequate indoor service on and around the Mission Tierra community. (See Informational Enclosure 8).
Ground #3: The Appeal asserts that the proposed facility is not the least intrusive means of filling the service gap.
The proposed facility has been designed to resemble a mature eucalyptus tree (monoeucalyptus) and would be located in an area of existing mature eucalyptus trees and administration buildings. The facility would be sited 700 feet to the south of the Mission Tierra community within a fully developed area of the Ohlone College Campus. The applicant submitted photo simulations demonstrating that the monoeucalyptus would conceal the panel antennas. See Informational Enclosure 7.
The applicant has provided substantial evidence that the proposed project would provide the be the least intrusive means for filling an identified gap in its service coverage. The project complies and is consistent with FMC Chapter 18.187 — Wireless Facilities, as well as the Fremont Citywide Design Guidelines, including Chapter Four, which contains the requirements established for wireless telecommunication facilities. The proposed project complies with these requirements, including, without limitation, setback, height, stealth design, and as the least intrusive means for filling a gap in wireless coverage.
The appellant has not provided further substantiation or evidence that supports their claim of visual intrusiveness or that a less intrusive means for filling the service gap is available.
Ground #4: The Appeal asserts the 80-foot tower will be intrusive to the neighborhood.
The installation is approximately 700 feet south of the Mission Tierra neighborhood and is designed as a “stealth” facility, which will minimize visual intrusion by approximating the size and appearance of a mature Eucalyptus tree where one presently exists. Appellant has
5.A

Council Staff Report (ID # 5084) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:12 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 5
not provided further substantiation or evidence that support their claim of visual intrusiveness.
Ground #5: The Appeal asserts the removal of the existing mature tree accommodating the new cell tower violates the Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines and Regulations.
The proposal is consistent with the Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines and Regulations. The proposed wireless facility was reviewed at a public meeting of the City of Fremont Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) on September 7, 2023, where the removal and replacement of the existing eucalyptus tree with the monoeucalyptus tree was found to be in compliance with the Mission San Jose Design HOD Guidelines. See Informational Enclosure 1 for the HARB report for the project.
Ground #6: The Appeal asserts the tower will lower property values.
The applicant has provided no substantial evidence to support their claim that the proposal would lower their property values. The proposed wireless facility is not proposed to be located within the Mission Tierra Neighborhood nor directly adjacent to an existing residential property. Impacts on property values (particularly, as here, theoretical impacts not supported by evidence) are not a relevant factor in the scope of the City’s wireless facility review.
Ground #7: The Appeal asserts the cell tower can be detrimental to the public safety.
The proposed cell tower would be constructed following the current Building and Fire codes in effect at the time of construction. The City has reviewed and approved many such facilities without incident. As noted above, the City is preempted from regulating or denying an application for cell tower on the basis of health concerns regarding RF emissions, beyond requiring compliance with FCC standards.
Findings for Approval
Conditional Use Permit Findings
The subject appeal hearing is considered de novo. In order to approve the proposed CUP, the City Council must make the following findings pursuant to FMC Section 18.230.060:
a. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunication facility is consistent with the General Plan because such facilities are a permitted use within the site’s Public Facility land use designation.
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density or intensity, as applicable, of the proposed use.
Analysis: The project site is physically suitable for the proposed use as it is a fully developed site that features existing mature eucalyptus trees which the proposed

Council Staff Report (ID # 5084) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:12 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 6
monoeucalyptus is designed to resemble.
c. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with proposed development in the vicinity and in the zoning district.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunications facility would improve the carrier’s existing wireless coverage for the area. The height of the antennas is the minimum height required to achieve the coverage area, and the facility is designed to accommodate one additional carrier. The project complies and is consistent with FMC Chapter 18.187 — Wireless Facilities, as well as Chapter Four of the Fremont Citywide Design Guidelines, which contain the requirements established for wireless telecommunication facilities. The proposed project complies with these requirements, including, without limitation, setback, height, stealth design, and as the least intrusive means for filling a gap in wireless coverage.
d. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or public property in the vicinity or the zoning district in which the use would be located.
Analysis: The project will be located on a stealth monopole designed to resemble a mature eucalyptus tree, which is an established feature of the project site. The wireless facility is compatible with surrounding uses and will not create nuisances because of its location and the provision of appropriate safety equipment. In addition, businesses, residents and first responders will benefit from the telecommunication facility. The project will comply with federal requirements for RF emissions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures, which allows construction of limited numbers of new facilities or structures (such as a single-family residence, small commercial building, or accessory structure) as well as the installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, 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.

Findings and Conditions of Approval for PLN2023-00261 Conditional Use Permit 43600 Mission Boulevard (APN 513 074200100)
FINDINGS:
The subject appeal hearing is considered de novo. In order to approve the proposed CUP, the City Council must make the following findings pursuant to FMC Section 18.230.060:
a. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunication facility is consistent with the General Plan because such facilities are a permitted use within the site’s Public Facility land use designation.
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density or intensity, as applicable, of the proposed use.
Analysis: The project site is physically suitable for the proposed use as it is a fully developed site that features existing mature eucalyptus trees which the proposed monoeucalyptus is designed to resemble.
c. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed use are compatible with proposed development in the vicinity and in the zoning district.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunications facility would improve the carrier’s existing wireless coverage for the area. The height of the antennas is the minimum height required to achieve the coverage area, and the facility is designed to accommodate one additional carrier. The project complies and is consistent with FMC Chapter 18.187 — Wireless Facilities, as well as Chapter Four of the Fremont Citywide Design Guidelines, which contain the requirements established for wireless telecommunication facilities. The proposed project complies with these requirements, including, without limitation, setback, height, stealth design, and as the least intrusive means for filling a gap in wireless coverage. d. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or public property in the vicinity or the zoning district in which the use would be located.
Analysis: The project will be located on a stealth monopole designed to resemble a mature eucalyptus tree, which is an established feature of the project site. The wireless facility is compatible with surrounding uses and will not create nuisances because of its location and the provision of appropriate safety equipment. In addition, businesses, residents and first responders will benefit from the telecommunication facility. The project will comply with federal requirements for RF emissions.

BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS:
The Mission San Jose Plan Area and Historic Ove rlay District (HOD) is also one of the five towns that incorporated to form Fremont in 1956. The heart of the Area is the business district near Washington and Mission Boule vards, anchored by the historic Mission San Jose church and museum. This area includes important historic resources and has a strong sense of identity and architectural character.
Mission San Jose was the first European settlement in Alameda County, dating back to 1797. The vision for this area, as outlined in the HOD Design Guidelines, is new development that complements the historical and cultural elements of the District, including the Old Mission San J ose, maintaining the characteristics of a historic village and picturesque community. The landscape character of the HOD is also noteworthy such as remaining heritage trees including olives from the 1820’s and earlier, eucalyptus from the Gold Rush, citrus from the agricultural heyday, and palm trees from t he 1920’s.
The proposed project is located on the perimeter of the HOD, outside of the Core Area where the most intense number of Historic Resources are located.
PROCEDURE FOR TONIGHT’S HEARING
At tonight’s hearing, HARB is acting in an advisor y role for consideration of installing a n 80 foot high wireless telecommunications facility designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree. HARB ’s recommendation will be forwarded to the Planning Commission, the approving body. Specifically, HARB is charged with the following task:
1. Consider whether the installation of a s tealth wireless telecommunication facility designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree is compatible and complies with the Mission San Jose Design Guidelines and Regulations for the Mission San Jose Historic Overlay District ( HOD) and recommend approval of the project to the Planning Com mission subject to the Conditions of Approval.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant (AT&T Wireless) is requesting consideration and historical architectural review of a stealth wireless telecommunication facility on a public facility (Ohlone Community College) property located at 43600 Mission Boulevard in the Mission San Jose H istoric Overlay District. The proposed wireless facility is a n 80-foot tall monopole designed to re semble a eucalyptus tree (referred to by the cellular industry as a monoeucalyptus) containing 9 antennas in three arrays o f three antennas each located within the top branches of the monoeucalyptus. The proposed monoeucalyptus and associated ground based equipment would be located within a 900 square-foot leased area.
The project site is located within the Ohlone Community College campus. The site is located adjacent to an existing parking lot approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard and approximately 655 feet to the south of Witherly lane. The area is within a fully developed section of the campus adjacent to a building known as “Hyman Hall”. The wireless facility would be located in a landscaped area at the south east rear portion of the parking lot. An existing mature eucalyptus tree would be removed and replaced with the monoeucalyptus facility in the same location.
Due to its location approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard, the site would not be substantially visible from the Mission Boulevard corridor.

PROJECT ANALYSIS:
General Plan Conformance:
The existing General Plan land use designation for the project site is Public Facility . The proposed project is con sistent with the existing General Plan land use desi gnation, which is generally applied to non-open space parcels owned by utilities and public agencies and which permits utility uses. As a stealth designed monoeucalyptus , consistent with development standards for siting of Wireless Telecommunication Faci lities, it is also consistent with policies found in the Community Character Element including preser ving design compatibility in Historic Districts (Policy 4 -6.5) and maintaining visual quality along Scenic Corridors (Policy 4-5.5) The following General Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies are applicable to the proposed project:
PUBLIC FACILITIES GOAL 9-1: Public Facilities and Services: A range of public facilities and services to meet the needs of Fremont residents.
Analysis: Telecommunication facilit ies are public utilities which provide communication systems to meet the needs of residents and busin esses in Fremont. The telecommunication carriers serving Fremont have previously met with City staff to provide coverage information, and demonstrated that the subject area has coverage constraints. The proposed facility would improve coverage in the area. In addition to meeting the needs of residents and businesses, the wireless telecommunications facilit y would benefit public safety by enabling emergency calls from wireless phones. As a stealth facility, it balances the public need for wireless telecommunication facilities with community character policies related to scenic corridors and within historic districts.
Zoning Regulations:
The subject property is zoned Public Facility and lies within the Mission San Jose Historic Overlay District (HOD) . Consis tent with development standards for wireless telecommunication facilities, freestanding stealth monopoles are permitted in this zoning district with approv al of a Conditional Use Permit. Chapter 18.135.050 of the Fremont Municipal Code states that historical a rchitectural review and approval is required for all new buildings, structures and signage within the HOD.
Design Analysis:
Architectural Design:
The applicant is proposing to construct the equipment enclosure and monoeucalyptus within an existing, developed portion of the Ohlone Community College campus. Consistent with Section 5.2 of the Mission Sa n Jose HOD , Location and Screening of Mechanical Equ ipment, the equipment will be screened by the proposed enclosure which includes a 6-foot high chain-link fence with privacy slats and would be located away from sidewalks and pedestrian activity.

September 7, 2023 Page 5 of 8
Site Planning and View Impacts:
The subject property is bounded on one side by State Route 238 (Mission Boulevard) , which is a local scenic corridor. The area of the site where the new monoeucalyptus w ill be located is approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mi ssion Boulevard, and the area contains clusters of large, mature eucalyptus trees. The proposed monoeucalyptus will be integrated with in this area and will appear similar in color, texture and density to that of natural eucalyptus trees already planted in the vicinity and, therefore, the new stealth monoeuc alyptus would not adversely affect any existing views to hillside scenic resources.
The monopole is desi gned as a stealth monoeucalyptus and has no exposed metal surfaces or lighting, therefore it will no t affect daytime or nighttime views. As noted in the HOD Design Guidelines, Eucalyptus trees, some from the 1800s , are a characteristic landscape feature for the Mission San Jose plan area, thus the introduction of a stealth monoeucalyptus would be consist ent with the existing landscape and historic context of this area.
Landscaping:
The project site is a largely developed site with pavement and buildings, and the proposed monoeucalyptus is proposed to be installed near the south east corner of an existin g parking lot, near an existing grove of large, matu re eucalyptus trees and is appropriate to the HOD guidelines as it blends with the existing landscaping . One existing eucalyptus tree would be removed and the monoeucalyptus would be constructed in it ’s plac e. The proposed monoeucalyptus conforms to the Mi ssion San Jose HOD landscape design guidelines, Section 11.3, which encourages using a type of tree that is similar or predominant to the landscaping of the area to promote continuity of the established land scape character.
In keeping with the existing character of the site, no additional landscaping is proposed.
Circulation:
The project site has direct, private access off Witherly Lane, and will not adversely affect traffic circulation for the site.
Grading & Drainage:
Minimal grading is proposed for the project and the proposed monoeucalyp tus will not adversely affect the natural drainage of the site or water flow.
Context within Historic Overlay District (HOD)
Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines encourage landscaping that enhances existing trees an d plantings and incorporating same or similar varieties of trees. The proposed monoeucalyptus is designed to appear as similar in nature to the existing eucalyptus trees in the area in color, texture and hei ght and therefore is appropriate for the location and within the historic context of t he site. The proposed project maintains scenic views and is consistent with the intent of the Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines, which is to preserve the historic village character and picturesque quality of the area.
Environmental Review:
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conve rsion of Small Structures.

Staff finds that the project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning ordinance regulating wireless facilities. Staff recommends approval of the CUP as d epicted in Exhibit “A,” based on the findings and subject to the conditions of approval contained in Exhibit “B.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The subject site is located within the Mission San Jose Historic Overlay District (HOD). Per Chapter 18.135.050 of the Fremont Municipal Code, new buildings, structures and signage within the HOD require review by the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) for compatibility with design guidelines of the HOD.
On September 7, 2023, a public hearing was conduct ed by HARB. The project was found to be complian t with the HOD Guidelines and the project was recommended by HARB for approval.
PROCEDURE FOR TONIGHT’S HEARING
At tonight’s hearing, the Planning Commission is being asked to consider the following:
1. A finding that the proposed project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
2. Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the remo val of an existing eucalyptus tree and install ation of an 80 -foot tall stealth wireless telecommunication facility designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree ( “monoeucalyptus”) and associated equipment to be installed within a new 900 square -foot equipment enc losure located at 43600 Mission Boulevard.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes a CUP to allow the removal of an existing eucalyptus tree and the installation of an 80 -foot tall monopole designed to resemble a eucalyptus tree (referred to by the cellular industry as a monoeucalyptus) containing 9 antennas in three arrays of three antennas each, located within the top branches of the monoeucalyptus. The proposed monoeucalyptus and associated ground -based equipment would be located within a secured 900 square-foot leased area of the project site. The project site is located within the Ohlone Community College campus. The site is located adjacent to an existing parking lot approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard and approximately 655 f eet to the south of Witherly Lane. The area is within afully developed section of the campus between the Administrative Services Offices and the Business and Technology building known as “Hyman Hall”. The wireless facility would be located in a landscaped area at the southeast rear portion of the parking lot. One existing mature eucalyptus tree would be removed and replaced with the monoeucalyptus in the same location.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
Federal Regulations Governing Telecommunication Facilities The Plann ing Commission’s consideration of the project is governed by both the City’s zoning regulations and the Federal Telecommunications Act. Under the City’s regulations, the project must be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning for the site and comply

with the development standards for wireless facilities set forth in FMC Chapter 18.187 and Chapter Four of the Citywide Design Guidelines.
The Federal Communications Act limits the Commission’s consideration of the project under these local standards in tw o significant ways. First, federal law prohibits the City from conditioning or denying the project based on concerns stemming from the environmental effects of radio frequency (RF) emissions if the proposed facility complies with federal RF standards. Second, federal law prohibits the City from denying a project if: (a) the facility is necessary to fill a significant gap in the applicant’s wireless network; and (b) the facility is the least intrusive means of filling the service gap.
The applicant hired Waterford Consultant ’s to evaluate the RF emissions of the proposed antennas and determined that the proposed antennas would comply with federal RF standards (refer to Informational Item 1). The applicant’s coverage map (Refer to Informational Item 2) indica tes that the facility is necessary to maintain the existing coverage for the area, and that denying the facility would create a significant gap in service for the area. The application materials also indicate that the location and type of wireless facility is the least intrusive means of filling the service gap.
General Plan Conformance:
The existing General Plan land use designation for the project site is Public Facility. The proposed project is consistent with the existing General Plan land use designa tion, which is generally applied to non -open space parcels owned by utilities and public agencies and which permits utility uses. As a stealth designed monoeucalyptus, consistent with development standards for siting of Wireless Telecommunication Faciliti es, it is also consistent with policies found in the Community Character Element including preserving design compatibility in Historic Districts (Policy 4 -6.5) and maintaining visual quality along Scenic Corridors (Policy 4 -5.5) The following General Pla n Goals, Objectives and Policies are applicable to the proposed project:
PUBLIC FACILITIES GOAL 9 -1: Public Facilities and Services: A range of public facilities and services to meet the needs of Fremont residents.
Analysis: Telecommunication facilities ar e public utilities which provide communication systems to meet the needs of residents and businesses in Fremont. The telecommunication carriers serving Fremont have previously met with City staff to provide coverage information, and demonstrated that the s ubject area has coverage constraints. The proposed facility would improve coverage in the area.
In addition to meeting the needs of residents and businesses, the wireless telecommunications facility would benefit public safety by enabling emergency calls from wireless phones. As a stealth facility, it balances the public need for wireless telecommunication facilities with community character policies related to scenic corridors and within historic districts. The proper siting of the wireless facility, approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard, would not be substantially visible from the Mission Boulevard corridor.
Zoning Conformance:
The subject property is zoned Public Facility (PF) and lies within the Mission San Jose Historic Overlay Di strict (HOD). Consistent with development standards for wireless telecommunication facilities, freestanding stealth monopoles are permitted in this zoning district with approval of a CUP.

Design Analysis:
Architectural Design:
The applicant is proposing to construct the equipment enclosure and monoeucalyptus within an existing, developed portion of the Ohlone Community College campus. Consistent with Section 5.2 of the Mission San Jose HOD, Location and Screening of Mechanical Equipment, the equipment w ould be screened by the proposed enclosure , which includes a 6 -foot high chain-link fence with privacy slats , and would be located away from sidewalks and pedestrian activity.
The subject property is bounded on one side by Mission Boulevard, which is a loc al scenic corridor. The area of the site where the new monoeucalyptus will be located is approximately 1,000 feet to the east of Mission Boulevard, and the area contains clusters of large, mature eucalyptus trees. The proposed monoeucalyptus will be integ rated within this area and will appear similar in color, texture and density to that of natural eucalyptus trees already planted in the vicinity and, therefore, the new stealth monoeucalyptus would not cause a significant adverse affect on any existing vie ws to hillside scenic resources. The monopole is designed as a stealth monoeucalyptus and has no exposed metal surfaces or lighting, therefore it will not affect daytime or nighttime views. As noted in the HOD Design Guidelines, eucalyptus trees, some from the 1800s, are a characteristic landscape feature for the Mission San Jose plan area, thus the introduction of a stealth monoeucalyptus would be consistent with the existing landscape and historic context of this area.
Landscaping:
The project site is a largely developed site with pavement and buildings, and the proposed monoeucalyptus would be installed near the southeast corner of an existing parking lot, near an existing grove of large, mature eucalyptus trees, and has been designed to meet the HOD guidelines as it blends with the existing landscaping. One existing eucalyptus tree would be removed and the monoeucalyptus would be constructed in its place. The proposed monoeucalyptus conforms to the Mission San Jose HOD landscape design guidelines, Sectio n
11.3, which encourages using a type of tree that is similar or predominant to the landscaping of the area to promote continuity of the established landscape character. In keeping with the existing character of the site, no additional landscaping is propo sed.
Circulation:
The project site has direct, private access off Witherly Lane, and will not adversely affect traffic circulation for the site.
Grading & Drainage:
Minimal grading is proposed for the project and the proposed monoeucalyptus will not adversely affect the natural drainage of the site or water flow.
Context within Historic Overlay District (HOD)

Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines encourage landscaping that enhances existing trees and plantings and incorporating same or similar varieties of trees . The proposed monoeucalyptus is designed to appear as similar in nature to the existing eucalyptus trees in the area in color, texture and height and therefore is appropriate for the location and within the historic context of the site. The propos ed project maintains scenic views and is consistent with the intent of the Mission San Jose HOD Design Guidelines, which is to preserve the historic village character and picturesque quality of the area.
FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
Pursuant to FMC Section 18.230.060, in order to approve the proposed project, the Planning Commission must make the following findings:
a. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable community or specific plan.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunication facility is consistent with the General Plan because such facilities are a permitted use within the Public Facility land use designation.
b. The site is physically suitable for the type and density in intensity, as applicable, of the proposed use.
Analysis: The project site is physically suitable for the proposed use as it is a fully developed site with existing mature eucalyptus trees which the proposed monoeucalyptus is designed to resemble.
c. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the p roposed use are compatible with proposed development in the vicinity and in the zoning district.
Analysis: The proposed wireless telecommunications facility would improve the carrier’s existing wireless coverage for the area. The height of the antennas is the minimum height required to achieve the coverage area, and the facility is designed to accommodate one additional carrier.
d. The proposed use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons or public property in the vicinity or the zoning district in which the use would be located.
Analysis: The project will be located on a stealth monopole designed to resemble a mature eucalyptus tree, which is an established feature of the project site. The wireless facility is compatible w ith surrounding uses and will not create nuisances because of its location and provision of appropriate safety equipment. In addition, businesses, residents and first responders will benefit from the telecommunication facility.
CITY FEES
As the proposed p roject would not involve the construction of any new buildings, no development fees or affordable housing linkage fees would be due.

RE: AT&T Cell Site CCL05050 - Mission Blvd
Site Location: 43600 Mission Boulevard Fremont, CA
To whom it may concern,
I write to you as the Applicant and on behalf of New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC (AT&T), to respectfully request that the City Council rejects the appeal and approves the proposed AT&T Mobility project at Ohlone College.
This project was recommended for approval from the Historical Architectural Review Board (HARB) on September 7, 2023. The project was then approved by the Planning Commissioners on October 26, 2023. The appeal from that approval was based nearly entirely on concerns about the health effects of “electromagnetic waves,” which is not a lawful basis to deny a wireless facility that, like the Proposed Facility, will comply with the FCC’s rules on radio frequency emissions.
AT&Ts Proposed Facility will deliver critical wireless services to the area, meet the County’s siting criteria, and will comply with the FCC’s rules as to radiofrequency emissions. This site is necessary to close a significant service coverage gap in this portion of the City. The purpose of this letter is to provide the City Council with an overview of the Proposed Facility, to apply key requirements of state and federal law, and to address specific issues raised in the appeal.
Perceived Health Concerns.
All telecom carriers, including AT&T, must maintain all cell facilities in accordance with the FCC guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency fields. For all AT&T projects, a radio frequency emission compliance analysis is completed to confirm that the proposed facility is to operate below applicable FCC limits. In connection with AT&T’s submitted application for this project, this analysis was completed by David H. Kiser, California Registered Professional Engineer with Waterford Consultants (see Attachment A). In the analysis, it was stated that Power Density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. AT&T’s operations at this proposed facility will operate at 2.5482% of the FCC General Populations Limits at the ground level. Additionally, AT&T’s operations from adjacent buildings will operate at
23.6998% of the FCC General Populations Limits. The conclusion of the report indicated that the proposed facility will not expose the public to any hazardous level of RF Energy at either the ground level or the adjacent buildings. Given the compliance with the FCC standards, the Application cannot be rejected based on perceived health concerns.

Federal Law.
Federal law, primarily found in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“Telecom Act”), acknowledges a local jurisdiction’s zoning authority over proposed wireless facilities but limits the exercise of that authority in several important ways.
Local jurisdictions may not materially limit or inhibit. The Telecom Act prohibits a local jurisdiction from taking any action on a wireless siting permit that “prohibit[s] or [has] the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal wireless services.” 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II). According to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Order adopted in September 2018,1 a local jurisdiction’s action has the effect of prohibiting the provision of wireless services when it “materially limits or inhibits the ability of any competitor or potential competitor to compete in a fair and balanced legal and regulatory environment.”2 Under the FCC Order, an applicant need not prove it has a significant gap in coverage; it may demonstrate the need for a new wireless facility in terms of adding capacity, updating to new technologies, and/or maintaining high quality service.3
While an applicant is no longer required to show a significant gap in service coverage, in the Ninth Circuit, a local jurisdiction clearly violates section 332(c)(7)(B)(i)(II) when it prevents a wireless carrier from using the least intrusive means to fill a significant gap in service coverage. T-Mobile U.S.A., Inc. v. City of Anacortes, 572 F.3d 987, 988 (9th Cir. 2009).
• Significant Gap. Reliable in-building coverage is now a necessity and every community’s expectation.
Consistent with the abandonment of land line telephones and reliance on only wireless communications, federal courts now recognize that a “significant gap” can exist based on inadequate in-building coverage. See, e.g., T- Mobile Central, LLC v. Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, 528 F. Supp. 2d 1128, 1168-69 (D.Kan. 2007), affirmed in part, 546 F.3d 1299 (10
th Cir. 2008); MetroPCS, Inc. v. City and County of San Francisco, 2006 WL 1699580, *10-11 (N.D. Cal. 2006).
• Least Intrusive Means. The least intrusive means standard “requires that the provider ‘show that the manner in which it proposes to fill the significant gap in service is the least intrusive on the values that the denial sought to serve.’” 572 F.3d at 995, quoting MetroPCS, Inc. v. City of San Francisco, 400 F.3d 715, 734 (9th Cir. 2005).
These values are reflected by the local code’s preferences and siting requirements.
Environmental and health effects prohibited from consideration. Also under the Telecom Act, a jurisdiction is prohibited from considering the environmental effects of RF emissions (including health effects) of the proposed site if the site will operate in compliance with federal regulations. 47 U.S.C. § 332(c)(7)(B)(iv). AT&T has submitted a report prepared by a licensed engineer demonstrating that the proposed facility will operate in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s RF emissions regulations (Attachment A). Accordingly, this issue is preempted under federal law and any testimony or documents introduced relating to the environmental or health effects of the proposed facility should be disregarded in this proceeding.

FirstNet Program: In addition to providing customers with reliable coverage, fast speeds, and excellent quality, the proposed project will include facilities to support the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (“FirstNet”). In its partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, AT&T is responsible for building, maintaining, and upgrading the FirstNet network for the next 25 years. In order to support FirstNet, AT&T is upgrading its existing wireless sites and building new wireless facilities throughout the United States, including (City of Fremont). AT&T’s upgrades include deployment of the new frequency band (“Band 14”) supporting the FirstNet network. In 2012, the U.S. Congress set aside Band 14 for use by first responders. FirstNet Built with AT&T is designed to be reliable, functional, safe, and secure, and it will provide optimal levels of operational capacity at all times.
FirstNet’s benefits include:
• Always on, 24x7 priority and preemption for First Responders across data and voice communications; • A physically separate and highly secure network core that is fully dedicated to FirstNet – utilizing end to end encryption and keeping public safety and emergency management traffic separate from commercial traffic; and • A dedicated fleet of portable network deployable assets to support first responder and emergency manager connectivity for planned events, emergencies, in extremis, and other mission requirements.
Service Gap.
Per the submitted Coverage Map (Attachment B), AT&T has demonstrated that there is a significant service coverage gap in this area of Mission Blvd. These maps show that AT&T lacks adequate indoor service on and around the Mission Tierra community. AT&T has worked hard to identify the right solution to its service needs here. AT&T investigated possible opportunities to collocate the Proposed Facility on existing towers, but none were found near enough to the coverage gap to serve as feasible alternatives. Thus AT&T identified the proposed site at Ohlone College as the best available and least intrusive means to address its coverage gap. In addition, City Staff confirmed in its Staff Report that this site is consistent with applicable siting regulations per the City Code and suitable for the area and compatible with land use.
Per the submitted Coverage Map for the current proposed Candidate (Attachment C), this location grants the most consistent coverage on and around the College, Mission Blvd, Washington Blvd and the streets. Additionally, the residential home and the church will receive good indoor coverage.
Location of Proposed Facility.
AT&T reviewed the Wireless Telecommunications Ordinance (Chapter 18.187) of the City Code to find a location that follows all guidelines. The current proposed location meets and/or exceeds all standards as described in the City Code.
18.187.090 Development Standards
(a) Height. Per the RAN Engineer for this project, the coverage objective of this new site is to improve service in the dense residential neighborhoods on and around Washington Blvd & Mission Blvd. The coverage objective includes servicing the schools and churches in the area as well. To have a better reach to this whole area, an 80ft structure is required so that this network element can add more value to the community. The 80 ft. structure is the lowest functioning height in order to establish reliable coverage.
(b) Setback. Per the City Code, all sites adjacent to residential zoning (Mission Tierra Community) require a 100’ setback. The proposed facility is seven times the City requirements at 700’ from a residential zoned property. In addition, all facilities shall be 1,000 ft. from the nearest functioning Wireless Facility. AT&T’s proposed location exceeds that requirement at 2,000 ft. from the existing facility to the southwest.

Alternative Sites:
The appealer to this project brought up other locations to review for feasibility purposes. Please see analysis provided below.
1) Existing PG&E Transmission Towers. AT&T is already a collocator on this existing facility. Thus, the PG&E Transmission Towers were not viable, and were not considered for this project. 2) Option #1 (37.528050, -121.913384): The RAN Engineer provided a propagation Map (Attachment D) to show the proposed coverage at this location if AT&T would relocate. Per the Map, this location provides a reduced footprint in comparison with the current proposed location. Additionally, this location could cause interference to the AT&T equipment on the existing PG&E Transmission Tower. 3) Option #2 (37.531423, -121.911302): The RAN Engineer provided a propagation Map (Attachment E) to show the proposed coverage at this location if AT&T would relocate. Per the Map, this location provides a reduced footprint in comparison with the current proposed location, and offers inconsistent coverage on Washington Blvd, and the residences across Mission Blvd and the College.
Coverage Comparison of Proposed Locations:
Per the Coverage Comparison Map (Attachment F) of the current location vs. the two (2) alternatives, the current location provides the most consistent coverage on and around Mission Blvd, including the Mission Tiera Community.
Thus, the current submitted location is the best means to provide adequate coverage to this area of Fremont.
Generator Noise.
For all projects, it is required to submit a Nosie Study to confirm that the Generator and HVAC System complies with the Jurisdictions Noise ordinance. Per the submitted Noise Study completed by Waterford Consultants (Attachment G), the proposed AT&T Facility complies with all requirements as mandated by the City of Fremont. The 30kw Generator is proposed for Emergency uses for the facility. Thus, it will only be utilized if there is a Power outage in the area affecting the Wireless Facility.
Replacement of Existing Tree with Proposed AT&T Tower.
The removal of the existing tree was approved by both the HARB and Planning Commission board.
Loss of Property Values.
During the Planning Commission hearing it was speculated by a resident that the proposed facility may negatively impact property values in the surrounding area. This day and age, it is important for home buyers to have access to reliable coverage (phone and broadband). The National Association of Realtors not only supports broadband infrastructure, but commissioned its own study showing that communities that have access to it have higher property values. In 2012, a realtor association conducted it’s own study on property values near a wireless facility (Attachment H). Based on the study, there was no negative impact on the home values based on proximity to wireless telecommunications facilities.
Building Code Standards.
All proposed facilities (buildings, apartments, residences, etc.) built in California must be constructed per current Building Code Standards. Wireless Facilities also need to follow these standards. Additionally, as the proposed facility is located on a School Property, it is required for the plans to be approved by the California Division of State Architect (DSA). This entity ensures that any proposed construction on state owned property, public schools, etc. complies with structural, accessibility, fire, and safety codes.

Conclusion.
AT&T is diligently seeking to upgrade its network to provide and improve wireless services to this part of the City of Fremont. AT&T has worked closely with the City to propose the best available and least intrusive design for this necessary wireless facility. Additionally, AT&T has shown that federal law strongly supports (indeed, mandates) approval, and there has been no substantial evidence submitted on which the City Council could deny AT&T’s application. I urge the City Council to deny the appeal and approve AT&T’s application.

Compliance Statement
Based on information provided by AT&T Mobility and predictive modeling , the MISSION BLVD installation proposed by AT&T Mobility will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§
1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. RF alerting signage at the base of the Stealth Pole -Extrnl Array and restricting access to authorized climbers that have completed RF safety training is required for Occupational environment compliance. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.
Certification
I, David H. Kiser, am the reviewer and approver of this report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in
accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have
reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment
report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
General Summary
The compliance framework is derived fr om the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons ma y not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.
In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows:
𝑆 =
𝐸𝐼𝑅𝑃
4⋅𝜋⋅𝑅2 (mW/cm2)
where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as
𝑆 = (180
𝜃𝐵𝑊
) ⋅ 100 ⋅ 𝑃𝑖𝑛
𝜋 ⋅ 𝑅 ⋅ ℎ (mW/cm2)
where Pin is the power input to the antenna, BW is the horizontal pattern beamw idth and h is the aperture length.
Some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. This analysis includes a statistical factor reducing the actual power of the antenna system to 32% of maximum theoretical power to account for spatial distribution of users, network utilization, time division duplexing, and scheduling time. AT&T recommends the use of this factor based on a combination of guidance from its antenna system manufacturers, supporting international industry standards, industry publications, and its extensive experience.

7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The panel -type antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas. For accessible areas at ground level, the maximum predicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 2.5482% of the FCC General Population limits. Incident at adjacent buildings depicted in Figure 1, the maximum pr edicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 23.6998% of the FCC General Population limits. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.
Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends posting RF alerting signage with contact information (Caution 2B) at the base of the Stealth Pole-Ex to inform authorized climbers of potential conditions near the antennas. These recommendations are depicted in Figure 2.

AT&T Site CCL05050
43630 Mission Boulevard,
Fremont, CA 94539
S
ite CCL05050 – Mission Boulevard is a proposed AT&T macro site located in the City of Fremont; CA.
AT&T is proposing to add a pre-manufactured walk -in cabinet with wall mounted A/C unit, and a new emergency backup generator. Based on our review of the pro ject drawings and technical specifications, the following is a summary of our noise assessment of the proposed equipment.
Per City of Fremont Code of Ordinances, Chapter 18.50 – Industrial Districts; the following excerpt from the code defines noise level performance standards, specifically 18.50.040
18. 50.040 – Performance Standards
(
a) Performance standards are established to ensure that adjoining properties, persons and th e c
ommunity as well as the region are provided protection against adverse conditions which may be created by the various uses operating within the industrial zoning di stricts. All uses within the I -S, I-T, and I-G districts, whether accessory, permitted, or whether requiring zoning administrator or conditional use permit approval, shall comply with the following performance standards:
(1) Noise. At all property lines, as m easured consistent with subsection (c) of this section, the maximum noise level generated by any user shall not exceed an Ldn level of 70 dB(A) when adjacent users are industrial, commercial, business, professional or office. When adjacent to hotels, motel s and other lodging, or outdoor sports and recreation, neighborhood parks and playgrounds, the noise level at all property lines shall be limited to an Ldn level of 65 dB(A).
When users are adjacent or contiguous to residential, institutional uses, or simi lar sensitive uses, the maximum noise level shall not exceed an hourly Leq level of 50 dB(A) during daytime hours (7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.), an hourly Leq level of 45 dB(A) during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m.), an hourly Lmax level of 70 dB(A) during daytime hours, and an hourly Lmax level of 65 dB(A) during nighttime hours. Excluded from these standards are occasional sounds generated by the movement of railroad equipment, temporary construction activities or warning devices. Each of the noise level standards specified in this section shall be reduced by five dB(A) for single-tone noises, noises consisting primarily of speech or music, or for recurring impulsive noises when the site is adjacent to residential areas. 7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150

B Generator Generac SD030 30 kW 66 [1] 23
[1] Sound pressure is based on Gen Set with Level 2 sound attenuated enclosure, full-load operating conditions.
Our review of the equipment package did not reveal any other significant noise sources being proposed other than what is within the scope of this project. The equipment is proposed to be installed on private property inside of an CMU wall on east, south & north sides & 8’ tall chain link fence w/ barbed wire & green privacy slats on west side of the compound area. Ambient noise is not considered in this study.
To p
roperly present this assessment, our noise modeling has assumed following scenarios: 1) This facility is not occupied; 2) Heat Exchanger on the pre-manufactured equipment cabinet runs continuously; 3) the generator is operating in the full load condition; 4) Ambient noise is not considered; 5) other existing on-site equipment creating noises are ignored and 6) fencing/landscaping currently on site is not taken into consideration.
The site and its adjacent properties are located within the City of Fremont, and the telecommunication site sits within APN 513-0742-001. The nearest adjacent property line is located to the east within APN 513-0742-002. The measurement of sound shall be taken from the nearest private site’s property line, towards the source of the sound, which equates to 354 ft distance from cabinet A/C unit to the property line and 351 ft from the generator to property line.
G
enerator is for emergency backup during power failure conditions. Generator is exercised once a week for one half hour maximum during daytime hours only. A/C unit on t he pre-manufactured cabinet will run continuously during day and nighttime hours. Noise levels measurements per Table 1, calculated to the property line of the nearest residence, is as follows:
No
ise Source ‘A’ – A/C Unit = 2.6 dBA
Noise Source ‘B’ – Generator = 27.8 dBA

Wireless Communications Initiative Study
Wireless Facilities Impact on Property Values
November 2012
Background
Wireless technology has dramatically changed the way the world communicates. There are over 6 billion wireless phones being used worldwide. In the United States the number of wireless phones is greater than the population. Conversely, with the advent of smart phones and wireless devices, there is increasing strain being put our already stressed wireless infrastructure. The goal of the Wireless Communications Initiative (WCI) is to enable the deployment of a 21st century wireless infrastructure. Silicon Valley is clearly driving wireless innovation and the region has consistently been an early adopter of these products.
However, compared to feature phones, smartphones place 24 times the demand on wireless networks, and smart devices such as tablets command 120 times as much. Carriers are trying to respond to this revolution in technology by deploying what is called Next Generation technology. Carriers tout the capacity of their 4G or LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks as significantly more efficient in managing the burgeoning demand placed on networks by applications such as streaming video.
The significant challenge facing the next phase in technology deployment is the need to place wireless facilities in residential neighborhoods. These facilities need to be closer to consumers to allow signals to be accessible within homes. This is increasingly important given that about 30 percent of homes rely solely on wireless phone service. In addition, almost 400,000 calls to 911 are made each day using wireless phones. Access to a wireless network has now become a public safety imperative.
Carriers are working with cities to identify neighborhood sites for wireless facilities. However, this task has been made more difficult in some cases when a few residents raise concerns about the placement of wireless towers. These residents oppose carrier applications because of
5.A.h
Packet Pg. 131
Attachment: Informational Enclosure 5 - Appeal Response Letter (5084 : APPEAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AT&T WIRELESS trepidations related to Radio Frequency (RF) emissions or suspicions about a negative impact on property values. The anxiety that wireless towers impact property values has been a powerful argument used by opponents to carrier applications. Oftentimes, anecdotal evidence is used to bolster these arguments, absent any factual evidence regarding the veracity of these claims.
Carrier and city attempts to address these concerns can lead to long delays in deploying and upgrading wireless facilities. It isn’t unusual for a single application to be delayed for a year or more while community concerns are being addressed.
This study has been designed to assess the actual effects of wireless facilities on property values.
We have the capability to consider wireless facilities that have been in place for several years.
We can look at hundreds of recent real estate transactions to determine what effects are present.
The Study Partners
The Santa Clara County Association of REALTORS® and the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) partnered with WCI to produce the study. The members of these two organizations are involved with most transactions involving single family residences in Silicon Valley. The Associations are over 100 years old and have a rich history paralleling the growth of the region. The organizations represent thousands of real estate agents who have a deep commitment to furthering the professionalism of the industry.
In addition, WCI partnered with MLS Listings to perform the actual data analysis. MLSListings, Inc. was founded in 2007 by a collaboration between several established regional multiple listing services, notably Silicon Valley’s RE InfoLink and California’s Central Valley MLS. The company created by this merger, MLSListings Inc. serves nearly 16,000 subscribers and 6,000 firms. MLSListings typically handles listings totaling nearly $70 billion annually.
See Appendix B for more information about these organizations.

The Methodology
The data was compiled using over 1600 single-family home transactions from January to September 2012. A total of 70 wireless sites were selected in Palo Alto, Redwood City, Saratoga and San Jose. The survey compared the “list” and “sale” price for transactions based on the distant from the wireless facility. The transactions were grouped by those 1) within 1/8th of a mile, 2) 1/8 to a quarter mile and 3) a quarter to one-half mile.
In addition, the study included all types of wireless facilities. These facilities may be A) a wireless tower, B) equipment placed on buildings (e.g. church, offices) or C) placed on a utility structure (e.g. pole, tower).
See Appendix D for sample photographs of the sites.

Conclusion
It is quite clear from the data that the distance from a wireless facility has no apparent impact on the value or sale price of a home. The relationship between the list and sale price remained the same no matter how close the property was to the wireless facility. In addition, we see that all the cities in the survey had similar results. The sites across all cities represent a variety of properties including those in neighborhoods with higher priced homes versus those in communities with more moderately priced homes.
Most real estate professionals believe there are multiple factors that affect property values.
These professionals still believe in the old adage that there are three factors: location, location, location. However, it is quite obvious that the overall economic climate can have an overriding effect on the real estate market. This year has seen a significantly stronger market for home sales, both in the number of transactions and sellers’ ability to obtain their asking price. Other factors that tend to impact property values include schools and access to transportation.
This study should provide a data-based explanation of the relationship between home values and the proximity to wireless facilities. The conclusions can be understood to suggest that communities and carriers have done well in considering the placement of the technology. The Wireless Communications Initiative believes this continued commitment to resolving deployment issues will benefit our region and its neighborhoods.

Compliance Statement
Based on information provided by AT&T Mobility and predictive modeling , the MISSION BLVD installation proposed by AT&T Mobility will be compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§
1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. RF alerting signage at the base of the Stealth Pole -Extrnl Array and restricting access to authorized climbers that have completed RF safety training is required for Occupational environment compliance. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.
Certification
I, David H. Kiser, am the reviewer and approver of this report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in
accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have
reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment
report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
General Summary
The compliance framework is derived fr om the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons ma y not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.
In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area as a result of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows:
𝑆 =
𝐸𝐼𝑅𝑃
4⋅𝜋⋅𝑅2 (mW/cm2)
where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as
𝑆 = (180
𝜃𝐵𝑊
) ⋅ 100 ⋅ 𝑃𝑖𝑛
𝜋 ⋅ 𝑅 ⋅ ℎ (mW/cm2)
where Pin is the power input to the antenna, BW is the horizontal pattern beamw idth and h is the aperture length.
Some antennas employ beamforming technology where RF energy allocated to each customer device is dynamically directed toward their location. This analysis includes a statistical factor reducing the actual power of the antenna system to 32% of maximum theoretical power to account for spatial distribution of users, network utilization, time division duplexing, and scheduling time. AT&T recommends the use of this factor based on a combination of guidance from its antenna system manufacturers, supporting international industry standards, industry publications, and its extensive experience.

7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The panel -type antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front of the antennas. For accessible areas at ground level, the maximum predicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 2.5482% of the FCC General Population limits. Incident at adjacent buildings depicted in Figure 1, the maximum pr edicted power density level resulting from all AT&T Mobility operations is 23.6998% of the FCC General Population limits. The proposed operation will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings.
Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends posting RF alerting signage with contact information (Caution 2B) at the base of the Stealth Pole-Ex to inform authorized climbers of potential conditions near the antennas. These recommendations are depicted in Figure 2.

Executive Summary: Government Code §65400 et seq. (Administration of General Plan) requires local jurisdictions to provide an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of the General Plan and progress towards implementing the Housing Element to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City of Fremont’s Calendar Year (CY) 2023 APR is included as Exhibit “A” (General Plan APR) and Exhibit “B” (Housing Element APR Tables). This Staff Report provides additional context to the APR and is organized into the following sections:
A. Progress towards meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
B. Status of Housing Element actions and programs.
C. Additional annual reporting requirements.
D. Status of General Plan activities.
The period covered in this report is January 1 to December 31, 2023. This report reflects the accomplishments for the first year of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted a comprehensive General Plan update in December 2011. On January 10, 2023, the City Council adopted Fremont’s sixth cycle Housing Element, which covers the 2023-2031 planning period. HCD certified the City’s sixth cycle Housing Element on March 22, 2023. The City submitted an APR to OPR and HCD every year for the fifth cycle Housing Element planning period (2015-2023). As required under State law, Staff will submit the 2023 APR to OPR and HCD for the current cycle Housing Element.

Planning Commission Hearing
On February 22, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the APR and voted 6 to 0, with one commissioner absent, to recommend that the City Council direct Staff to submit the APR to OPR and HCD. The subject item had one public speaker who generally commented on the City’s RHNA allocation, density, and vacant and underutilized sites in the city.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The City of Fremont’s CY 2023 APR is included as Exhibit “A” (General Plan APR) and Exhibit “B” (Housing Element APR Tables). The Housing Element APR Tables are prepared on standard forms provided by HCD and include all data required to be reported under Government Code §65400. Following review by the Planning Commission and City Council, Staff will submit the City’s CY 2023 APR to OPR and HCD.
Under State law, the CY 2023 APR must be submitted to OPR and HCD on or before April 1, 2024.
The CY 2023 APR is the first APR for the 2023-2031 planning period.
A) Progress Towards Meeting the City’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA)
The State of California periodically provides population growth and housing need estimates to each regional Council of Governments. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), which is the regional Council of Governments in the Bay Area, is then charged with distributing the regional housing need to jurisdictions and counties within the ABAG region.
Each city’s need is further categorized by income category. The goal of the RHNA process is to ensure that local General Plans can accommodate projected future household growth for all income levels in each jurisdiction. Housing production across all income levels is needed to address California’s existing challenges regarding housing supply and affordabi lity.
Table 1 identifies the City’s RHNA for the 2023-2031 planning period. Fremont’s Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the City’s RHNA at the various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development and housing production.

Total Housing Production
In 2023, a total of 340 new housing units received building permits, which makes up approximately three percent of the City’s total RHNA target. The largest residential project that received building permits is Osgood Apartments Phase II (a 100-unit affordable complex), located in the Irvington Community Plan Area. Other relatively large projects contributing to the 2023 building permit count included: 1) Niles Henkel Gateway (40 units), located in the Niles Community Plan Area; and 2) The Cottages (16 units), located in the Centerville Community Plan Area. The remaining balance of the units consisted mostly of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which made up nearly 24-percent (80 units) of the total issued permits.
The 340 new units permitted in 2023 represents a decline from 2022, when the City issued permits for 1133 units. Potential factors for the decrease include rising interest rates as well as increases in material prices and labor costs.
Affordable Housing Production
The following table provides information on housing developments containing affordable units that received building permits in the reporting year (2023).

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Production
In 2023, the City issued building permits for 80 ADUs. While this number is approximately a 50-percent decrease from last year,5 it still exceeds the annual projection of 60 ADUs estimated in the Housing Element. Much like the overall decrease in permitted units, the decrease in ADU permits in 2023 compared to 2022 may be a result of higher interest rates and less favorable market conditions. Despite the decrease in permitted units, 156 ADU applications were “submitted”6 to the City in 2023, which suggests that the interest in ADUs continues to be strong. Staff anticipates the momentum behind ADUs to continue largely because the City amended its ADU Ordinance, to comply with State law and remove barriers, in Fall 2023.
In 2022, ABAG collected rental data on ADUs in the region and prepared analysis to sup port assumptions on the affordability levels of ADUs in the San Francisco Bay Area. 7 The affordability assumptions are as follows:
1) 30-percent of ADUs are affordable to very-low-income households.
2) 30-percent are affordable to low-income households.
3) 30-percent are affordable to moderate income households.
4) 10-percent are affordable to above-moderate income households.
The 80 ADUs permitted in 2023 were assigned to different income categories in the APR based on ABAG’s affordability assumptions, as shown in the table below.
5 In 2022, the City issued building permits for 149 ADUs. 6 Per HCD’s “application submitted” means “an application submittal that has been determined complete by the jurisdiction.”

Conformance with SB 35
In 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 35 into law, which established a streamlined approval process for new housing development projects that meet certain criteria. Local jurisdictions are subject to SB 35 when the number of units that have been issued building permits is less than the locality’s share of the regional housing needs, by income category, for that RHNA reporting period. Based on housing production reported in the City’s CY 2022 APR, the City has made insufficient progress toward its lower income RHNA (very-low and low income), and therefore, HCD has determined that the City is subject to SB 35 for proposed developments with at least 50-percent affordability. If the City also makes insufficient progress towards its above moderate income RHNA, then the City would also be subject to the more inclusive streamlining for developments with at least 10-percent affordability.
In 2023, the City issued one entitlement application pursuant to SB 35: Veranda Mixed-Use Project (PLN2023-00053), which comprises 68 units, including 8 ADUs.
Conformance with SB 9
SB 9, titled the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act, went into effect in 2022. The bill added Government Code §§ 65851.21 (“Two Unit Developments) and 66411.7 (Urban Lot Splits) and amended Government Code §66452.6 (Subdivision Map Act). SB 9 has two major components:
1) The right to develop more than one home on a single-family residential lot; and
2) The right to subdivide a single-family residential lot.
If certain criteria are met, SB 9 requires local jurisdictions to ministerially approve Two Unit Developments and Urban Lot Splits. SB 9 was adopted to minimize the restrictions and limitations of traditional single-family zoning by allowing additional housing units on single- family lots and/or allowing for single-family lots to be split into two parcels with additional residential units constructed on each lot. This law allows by right, two residential units per lot of at least 800 square feet that could be conveyed (sold separately). Under SB 9, new units and subdivisions need not comply with the City’s “standard” development regulations for the Single-Family Residential (R-1) zoning district and Planned Districts that allow for

single-family homes. Effectively, the law limits the City’s ability to regulate these developments and prohibits a discretionary review process for qualified projects. However, the City does have the ability to apply certain objective standards to development and subdivisions allowed by SB 9, so long as the objective standards do not preclude two 800 square foot units. On December 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 07-2023, amending various chapters of the Fremont Municipal Code, including adopting a local SB 9 ordinance.
In 2023, five SB 9 applications were submitted to the City. As noted in the table below, the City approved three SB 9 applications, including any submitted in prior year(s), in 2023. No building permits were issued in 2023 for an application submitted pursuant to SB 9.

B) Status of Housing Element Actions and Programs
The 2023-2031 Housing Element identifies six goals, 24 policies, and 94 programs. Table D in Exhibit “B” details the various programs implementing the Housing Element goals and policies, with their status. Many of the successful programs in the 2015–2023 Housing Element were carried over to the 2023-2031 Housing Element, and some programs were modified or refocused to better address housing goals. A summary of notable accomplishments in 2023 toward implementation of 2023–2031 Housing Element goals and policies is provided below.

APR Table C – Sites Identified or Rezoned to Accommodate Shortfall Housing Need The City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element is required to demonstrate an ability to accommodate the 2015-2023 RHNA at the various income levels through vacant or underutilized land designated to allow residential development. Under SB 166 (2017), codified as Government Code §65863, a city must demonstrate that there is enough land identified to meet the unmet housing need at each income level prior to approving any project with fewer units by income category than identified in the housing element land inventory. If there is not sufficient land identified, then a city must identify additional sites within 180 days of approving a reduced-density project. Beginning in the CY 2018 APR, jurisdictions were required to report any sites that had been rezoned to comply with SB 166 as Table C of their APR.

Packet Pg. 171
Council Staff Report (ID # 5099) Meeting of March 19, 2024 Updated: 3/15/2024 2:53 PM by Susan Gauthier Page 10
To ensure that sufficient capacity exists in the housing element to accommodate the RHNA throughout the planning period, Fremont’s Housing Element Sites Inventory includes a buffer of more capacity than is required. For the lower-income categories, a buffer of approximately 15-percent has been provided. An approximate 15-percent buffer has also been provided for the moderate-income category. Since the vast majority of Fremont’s above moderate-income category is anticipated to be satisfied through pipeline projects and the risk of non-residential development or low-density residential development on inventory sites is relatively low, no buffer has been provided for the above-moderate income category.
Overall, an approximate 10-percent buffer is provided over the total RHNA.
The overall remaining unit capacity on vacant or underutilized sites listed in the 2023 -2031 Housing Element exceeds 8,000 units. Because the City has sufficient capacity under its existing zoning, to accommodate unmet housing needs in 2023, no additional land was rezoned in 2023.
APR Table D – Program Implementation Status
Pursuant to Government Code §65583, the City is required to report on the progress and status of the programs and policies included in its Housing Element. Specifically, the City needs to report on the progress made towards achieving the specific goals and objectives outlined in the Housing Element. This could include targets for increasing affordable housing units; reducing housing displacement; improving access to housing for specific groups like low-income families or people with disabilities; and/or any changes made to the City’s zoning regulations or development standards that affect the implementation of the Housing Element.
APR Table E – Commercial Development Bonus
AB 1934 (2017), codified as Government Code §65915.7, allows for commercial developers to construct additional floor area beyond the permitted floor area ratio (FAR) or utilize other concessions from the City in exchange for building affordable housing on-site, donating land for affordable housing, or making a payment to an affordable housing developer. The City of Fremont did not receive or approve any applications for a Commercial Density Bonus in 2023.
APR Table F – Units Preserved, Rehabilitated, or Acquired for Alternative Adequate Sites Pursuant to Government Code §65583.1(c), a city may only count units preserved, rehabilitated, or acquired towards its RHNA if it includes in its housing element a program that obligates sufficient available funds to make the preserved, rehabilitated, or acquired units affordable and available for occupancy within two years of its adoption. The City of Fremont does not have such a program, and therefore, does not report units preserved, rehabilitated, or acquired towards its RHNA.
APR Table G – Locally Owned Lands Included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory AB 1486 (2019), codified as Government Code §65400.1, requires jurisdictions to report in Table G of the APR any city-owned housing element inventory sites that were sold, leased,

or otherwise disposed of during the reporting year. The City of Fremont did not initiate any new sales, leases, or disposal of City-owned housing element inventory sites in 2023.
APR Table H – Locally Owned or Controlled Lands Declared Surplus In 2019, Governor Newsom directed the Department of General Services to conduct a comprehensive survey of all state-owned land and create a digitized inventory of all land in excess of state agencies’ foreseeable needs. AB 1255 (2020), codified as Government Code §54230, extends that mandate to cities and counties by requiring them to create their own inventory of surplus lands. The intention behind this inventory of surplus land is to identify excess government-owned property that could be used for affordable housing, homeless shelters, or other housing needs.
Beginning 2020, the APR requires that properties designated by a City as surplus lands are reported in the APR along with a description of each parcel and its current use. The City currently owns five properties that have been declared as surplus lands since 2013. These properties are reported in Table H of the APR.
APR Table K – Tenant Preference Policy Adopted
Pursuant to Government Code §7061, a local government adopting a tenant preference policy shall provide, on an annual basis to HCD, a current link to the webpage, as described in Government Code §65400(a)(2). The City’s live/work policy, adopted on January 10, 2023 via Ordinance 01-2023 is reported in Table K.
LEAP Reporting
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code §50515.04, recipients of Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) grants shall annually report by April 1 of the year following receipt of those funds on the status of proposed uses in the application. The report shall address the housing impact within the jurisdiction, including a summary of building permits, certificates of occupancy, or other completed entitlements. The City received a LEAP award of $500,000, and to date, the City has submitted reimbursements requests totaling approximately $481,000. The LEAP tasks, status, and other updates are reported in Exhibit “B.” D) Status of General Plan Activities
Government Code §65400 mandates that cities and counties submit an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress on its implementation to their legislative bodies, OPR, and HCD by April 1 of each year. The intent of this report is to demonstrate the City’s ongoing compliance with Government Codes §65300 et. seq, governing the required elements of a general plan, and provide a summary of implementation actions that have occurred within the past year. The City must submit a General Plan Annual Progress Report each year. The CY 2023 General Plan APR is attached as Exhibit “A”.

Compliance with State Law and General Plan Guidelines The General Plan is often described as the constitution for a city’s development. It sets priorities and goals for the future, and it is the foundation on which all development decisions are based.
The City of Fremont General Plan 2030 was adopted on December 12, 2011. The City’s 2023 – 2031 H ousing Element was adopted on January 10, 2023 and certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on March 22, 2023. In 2023, City Staff implemented over two dozen programs from the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element.
City of Fremont General Plan 2030
State law mandates that each city and county adopt a general plan containing at least seven “required” elements:
1) Land Use,
2) Circulation,
3) Housing,
4) Open Space,
5) Conservation,
6) Safety, and
7) Noise.
5.B.a
Packet Pg. 178
Attachment: Exhibit A - General Plan APR (5099 : 2023 Annual Progress Report on the Implementation of the General Plan and Housing Element)

1) Sustainability,
2) Community Character,
3) Economic Development,
4) Parks and Recreation,
5) Public Facilities,
6) Community Plans, and
7) Implementation.

Compliance with Other General Plan Regulations
In addition to reporting compliance with the seven required general plan elements, OPR’s General Plan Annual Progress Report Guidelines also suggest that jurisdictions report on consistency with recent updates to State law regarding environmental justice considerations, collaborative planning with military lands and facilities, and consultation with Native American tribes. A short description of the City’s consistency is provided below.
Environmental Justice
Senate Bill (SB) 1000, codified in Government Code §65302(h), was adopted in 2016 and requires cities that have disadvantaged communities to incorporate environmental justice policies into their general plans upon the concurrent adoption or revision of two or more elements. Government Code §65302(h)(4)(A) defines “disadvantaged communities” as an area that:
1) Has been identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) pursuant to Health and Safety Code §39711 as being disadvantaged based on geographic, socioeconomic, public health, and environmental hazard criteria; or 2) Is a low -income area that i s disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure, or environmental degradation.
Based on the information provided on the CalEnviroScreen Data Dashboard 1 as well as CalEPA’s
SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities (2022 Update) map 2, the City of Fremont does not contain any disadvantaged communities per the definition contained in SB 1000. In addition, the City of Fremont did not concurrently adopt or revise two or more elements of its General Plan , and therefore, the City is not required to incorporate environmental justice policies into its general plan. However, the City has adopted an environmental justice policy in its Land Use Element to ensure that no single neighborhood or population group is disproportionately impacted by environmental burdens. The City requires special study of environmental hazards when reviewing sensitive uses such as housing, schools, and assembly uses that are proposed near hazardous material users or sources of pollution.
Military Lands and Facilities
Various State laws, including SB 1468, AB 1108, and AB 1462, now require local governments to notify and coordinate with the military when the proposed action has a potential to affect a military installation, special use airspace, or low -level flight path. The City of Fremont does not contain any military facilities, nor does it have any land under its jurisdiction that is within 1,000 feet of a military installation, beneath a low -level flight path, or within a special use area that would require notification of the military during the development review process or general plan update process.

Native American Consultation
AB 52, enacted in 2015, significantly expanded tribal consultation requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This reform established a structured framework for California’s indigenous communities to meaningfully contribute to protecting their cultural heritage during the environmental review process. AB 52 revised several portions of California’s Public Resources Code to specify that a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, as defined, is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment. When the City is the lead agency for a project, it must begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project, if the tribe requests consultation.
The City of F remont has incorporated the notification requirements of AB 52 into its Standard Development Requirements to Address Resource Protection, which are provided in Fremont Municipal Code (FMC) Chapter 1 8.218. In compliance with AB 52, t he City follows the notification procedures in the FMC when acting as the lead agency for environmental review.
Area Plans, Community Plans, and Specific Plans
The City has adopted one area plan and three community plans. The City has not adopted any specific plans. The adopted area and community plans supplement the vision, goals, and objectives contained within the general plan and serve as the tool for implementing general plan policies in the review of private development projects within a specific, smaller geographic area. The table below summarizes the City’s adopted area and community plans.
As indicated in the table below, t he City did not make any revisions to an existing area or community plan in 2023. Nor did the City adopt a new area, community, or specific plan in 2023.

Section 4. Implementation Highlights by General Plan Element The General Plan contains a broad array of implementation measures and programs with various time frames for implementation. A summary of some notable achievements completed in 2023, as well as corresponding implementation sections and/or policies, is provided below.
Sustainability Element
Fremont’s updated Climate Action Plan (CAP), titled Climate Ready Fremont, was adopted by the City Council on October 10, 2023. The City’s carbon neutrality goal forms the basis of the plan, setting Fremont on the pathway to a sustainable, vibrant, and healthy community that supports the environment. Climate Ready Fremont provides a series of local greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction and climate adaptation measures to be undertaken through the year 2030 and beyond. It includes a variety of measures that address Fremont’s top sources of GHG emissions, including transportation, energy, and waste. Some of the key community-level measures include promoting clean power for residents and businesses; investing in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and encouraging the use of electric vehicles; requiring green building for new construction; reducing plastic waste; and promoting active transportation options like biking and walking.
In addition to reducing emissions, Climate Ready Fremont also includes measures that build community resilience to prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change, such as extreme heat events and sea level rise.
• See “Reducing Emissions” and “Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy” sections of the Sustainability Element.
Mobility Element
In Summer 2023, the City commenced work on its Active Transportation Plan (ATP). The ATP is a planning-level document that focuses on improving access, safety, and comfort for roadway users using active modes of transportation. The City’s new ATP will establish a set of active transportation strategies, infrastructure projects, programs, and investment guidance for the next five years, ultimately continuing the City’s overall mission of developing its infrastructure to be safe, convenient, connected, and comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages. The ATP is targeted to be reviewed by the City Council for adoption in Spring 2024. • See Mobility Element Policy 3-1.1: Complete Streets.

Housing Element
On January 10, 2023, the Fremont City Council voted unanimously to adopt the 2023–2031 Housing Element for Fremont. On March 22, 2023, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) certified Fremont’s updated 2023 – 2031 Housing Element.

Encourage Solar
Installation on Existing
Multifamily Buildings
Encourage Solar Installation on Existing
Multifamily Buildings. Within 24 Months
In January 2023, the City launched an informational campaign to promote the different funding opportunities available to affordable housing developers to transition their properties to become more energy efficient and resilient towards the effects of climate change. The City held one-on-one calls with affordable housing developers to provide information about incentive programs, including Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH), that can help make their properties more sustainable and create living spaces for their tenants that are environmentally safe and resilient. SOMAH is the nation’s first and largest solar incentive program designed to benefit multifamily affordable housing residents, with at least 51% of solar credits/generation generated by the solar system allocated to tenants. Three properties in Fremont are now participating in the program. Approximately 287 low-income residents are receiving utility bill credits, which helps with rising utility costs and long-term affordability as well as reduced greenhouse gas emissions in their living spaces.
Furthermore, on February 6, 2024, the SolSmart program, an initiative of the U.S.
Department of Energy, announced that Fremont, California is the first-ever recipient of the SolSmart Platinum designation. This designation recognizes Fremont for outstanding leadership at the local level, including a strong focus on the just and equitable deployment of solar energy. Fremont originally earned SolSmart Gold designation in 2016 and has committed to reaching carbon neutrality by 2045.
Program 06
Citywide Capital
Improvements
Adopt CIP to fund improvements that
support existing residential
neighborhoods.
Every 24 Months
The City continues to update its CIP budget every two years. On June 13, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-34, unanimously approving a new CIP reflecting a $296 million investment plan for the City’s transportation, parks, and civic facilities, covering the five-year period from Fiscal Years 2023/24 – 2027/28.
The most significant change between the new CIP and the previously adopted CIP is the allocation of new one-time funding transferred from the General Fund that will build upon past capital investments for aging building infrastructure, mandated projects related to vehicle electrification, and major projects from the Parks & Recreation Master Plan, including building the new Central Park Multi- Service Community Center and replacing old park restrooms. Fremont will continue to see the prioritization of investments in pavement and sidewalk maintenance, traffic operations and signal system improvement, expansion of trail and pedestrian facilities, and major park improvements. And while several projects are scheduled for delay due to a shortfall in Park Impact Fee revenues, the new CIP addresses community demand for investment in pickleball courts and dog parks. The City will also continue to work with its regional partners on major projects such as the State Route 262 Cross Connector Project, developing the new Irvington BART Station, modernizing freeway interchanges at I-680/Mission and I-880/Decoto, developing new bridges over freeways at I- 680/Sabercat Trail and I-880/Innovation District, and starting new projects for regional trails and a complete streets corridor.

The new ordinance will allow STRs in residential units with approval of a STR permit and includes standards to address potential nuisance and neighborhood compatibility issues associated with STRs. More importantly, the new regulations are intended to encourage responsible use and prevent mass conversion of the city’s existing housing stock.
Program 10

Affordable Housing Units
Monitor and preserve all at-risk units
during the planning period. Annually
The City's Housing Division continues to monitor affordable housing units at- risk of conversion and to work with property owners to retain units and proposed new development for potential displacement issues.
In 2021, the City commissioned a residential displacement study to better understand the displacement pressures on Fremont residents. In 2022, City Staff utilized the displacement study as a basis for codifying the City’s live/work preference policy and developing appropriate policy responses in the 2023-2031 Housing Element related to displacement.

Continue to Implement
and Annually Review the
Rent Review Ordinance
Support 100% of applicants. On-Going
On October 17, 2023, Human Services Staff delivered the Rent Review Ordinance (RRO) Annual Report to the City Council. The report provided an update on the status of the rent review program and covered RRO. The report covers the period from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. As of the 2020 Census, the City has approximately 234,829 residents and 78,038 occupied housing units. Of the total housing units in Fremont, about 21% are renter occupied.
There are approximately 16,408 rental units in Fremont that are subject to the RRO. Rental units that are not subject to the RRO include units that are hotels, boarding houses, transient accommodations, dormitories, mobile home space rentals, shared housing units, and junior accessory dwelling units. The average cost of rent in 2022-2023 for a 1-bedroom unit was $2,509.
A total of 56 requests for rent review were received between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, up from 26 requests from the previous year. Of the 56 cases, 29 were resolved by consultation and mediation, which is more than 50% of the cases brought for Review; 26 cases were unresolved after consultation and mediation, and one case was still pending at the timing of this APR update.
Most cases brought to the City are resolved within the first two steps of the RRO process, which includes consultation, mediation, and a Rent Review Board hearing.

The Planning Division’s commitment to fostering open communication and collaboration throughout the development process is evident in its “team- based” review system and the continual implementation of the Preliminary Review Procedure (PRP). The PRP serves as a valuable steppingstone before embarking on a formal application. Developers can submit preliminary plans and receive comprehensive feedback from City Staff, who assess project feasibility, identify potential issues, and suggest possible solutions early on.
This proactive approach offers several advantages, including: 1) Reduced risk and cost by addressing potential roadblocks before investing significant time and resources into a formal application; 2) Increased certainty and efficiency by receiving clear guidance early in the process to allow developers to refine their proposals with confidence; and 3) Collaborative problem-solving by fostering an atmosphere of open dialogue that enables developers and City Staff to work together to find mutually beneficial solutions that align with the City’s vision and development.
In 2023, the City received 11 PRP applications for new housing developments, excluding preliminary applications submitted under SB 330.
Program 21
Encourage Early
Community Outreach on
Large Housing
Development Projects
Encourage outreach during
development review process. Within 12 Months
The Planning Division recognizes the importance of early and meaningful community engagement in shaping large housing development projects. To facilitate this, the Division employs a multi-pronged approach: 1) Development Activity Map that offers interactive online maps to pinpoint active projects, providing residents with readily accessible information on proposed developments in the community; 2) On-site posting that involves prominent signage at project locations informs residents about the proposed development and directs them to relevant information sources; 3) Public notification where Staff utilizes a combination of methods to publicize project proposals, including newspaper advertisements, email notifications (i.e., Development Digest), and postings on the City's website; and 4) Applicant outreach recommendations where, during the application review process, Staff actively encourages developers to engage with the community by hosting public meetings, forming neighborhood advisory committees, and/or distributing informational materials.
By implementing these diverse strategies, the Planning Division strives to foster an informed discourse on large housing developments, ensuring that community voices are heard and considered every step of the way.
Program 22
Continue to Coordinate
Development Review with
Outside Agencies
Coordinate with outside agencies
during development review process. On-Going
The Planning Division continues to utilize a “team-based” development review process, which involves all possibly interested governmental agencies and parties from the beginning of the development review process. Bringing all relevant governmental agencies and parties to the table from the outset fosters early collaboration and communication, preventing the bureaucratic hurdles that can plague traditional development processes.
More specifically, coordination with outside agencies continues to offer several key advantages, including: 1) Saving time and resources by addressing agency comments and requirements early on; 2) A higher-quality development outcome by drawing on the expertise of diverse agencies and considering factors like environmental impact, infrastructure needs, and community concerns, ultimately leading to higher-quality development outcomes; and 3) Minimization of potential misunderstandings by fostering open communication and transparency, promoting a spirit of shared responsibility and fostering a productive development environment.
Program 23
Electronic Processing &

Monitor effectiveness of review process
and implement improvements. Annually
The Community Development Department remains committed to streamlining the development process through continuous refinement of its electronic plan review (ePR) and permit tracking (Accela) systems. The City actively enhances the user experience, making it easier to submit and track permit applications, pay fees, and access records. 2023 saw significant strides, including: 1) Automating report generation, containing applicants’ testaments, for Planning and Engineering records; 2) Bug fixes and improved stability to enhance system stability and ensure a smooth and reliable experience; 3) Express permit modifications to allow quick, hassle-free, and/or auto-issued permitting for select project types (i.e., reroof; electrical upgrade; HVAC); 4) Expanded record types comprising new record types like express kitchen and bath permits, retrofit window permits, home occupation permits, and zoning verification letters, offering more comprehensive project tracking; and 5) AB 2234 compliance, further demonstrating Fremont’s efforts to keep pace with evolving regulations by seamlessly integrating the post-entitlement phase permit feature mandated by State law. These improvements, alongside ongoing optimization, highlight a commitment to user-centric development tools.

Planning Staff collaborated with Alameda County to develop the “Alameda County ADU Resource Center.” The mission of the Alameda County ADU Resource Center is to provide resources that make it easier for homeowners to build ADUs. Specifically, the ADU Resource Center provides a step-by-step approach to an ADU project and provides links to helpful resources and tools along the way.
In addition, to encourage their production, the City does not charge impact fees for ADUs. The City continues to administer its pre-approved ADU program, allowing designers to pre-approve detached ADU plans. Designers may reuse these preapproved plans on multiple lots throughout the City with reduced permitting fees and shortened review timelines.

As was the case during the prior planning period, the City will continue to consult with affordable housing developers, market-rate developers, housing advocates, real estate professionals, the business community, and other stakeholders on proposed housing policy changes during the sixth cycle planning period. The City also utilizes the Development Digest newsletter as an effective communication tool for informing stakeholders about upcoming policy decisions related to housing. For instance, in 2023, Planning Staff utilized the Development Digest newsletter and other City media channels regularly to inform the community about housing related code updates (i.e., ADU, SB 9, supportive/transitional housing, residential care facilities, etc.).

Calculator for Developers
Create Online Fee Calculator Within 12 Months
The majority of the Planning and Development application fees are deposit- based. Where identified, deposits must be paid with the submittal of an application. The City’s policies and administrative procedures for these deposits are established in City Council Resolution No. 2010-23, Land Use and Development Service Deposits, adopted April 13, 2010. Pursuant to said resolution, the deposit amounts are adjusted administratively and are updated from time to time based on the average cost to process the various application types.
With respect to the subject program implementation: The Community Development Department is actively working to overhaul its fee structure. As a result, resources will be committed to create an online fee calculator once the new, more simplified, changes take effect. Meanwhile, the City leans on its permit system, Accela, to provide fee estimates. As applicants enter project data and itemize housing-related fields, Accela’s back-end programming generates fee estimates based on the respective inputs. These estimates eliminate budgeting uncertainties, preventing last-minute cost overruns and project delays. In addition, Planning Staff also includes the estimated project fees as part the application’s completeness review to provide the applicant an opportunity to ask for clarifications or questions. Furthermore, the City’s Master Fee Schedule is made available online for any party wanting to access the City’s fees.

On May 5, 2023, the City Council adopted an ordinance, approving changes to Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 18.290, Development Impact Fees, to allow market rate residential development projects to defer payment of development impact fees after building permit issuance. Therefore, the City continues to allow deferral of impact fees for not only affordable housing projects—but all residential projects. The Impact Fee Deferral Program allows owners to defer the payment of impact fees until final inspection, certificate of occupancy, or for a period of not more than eighteen months from the date of building permit issuance, whichever comes first, provided an Impact Fee Deferral Agreement has been executed with the City and recorded on title of the property. The impact fee amount to be paid is the amount in effect at the time of building permit issuance and is identified within the Agreement.

The City of Fremont is committed to providing affordable housing for its community. To encourage the production of affordable units, the Community Development Department continues to implement Resolution 2021-36, adopted by the City Council on in 2021, allowing qualifying projects with deed-restricted affordable housing units to pay 50% of the Transportation, Parkland Acquisition, and Park Facilities fees.
On January 10, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 01-2023, approving amendments to the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO) [FMC Chapter
18.155]. The updated ordinance reflects the City’s adopted goal of encouraging the development of affordable housing to help meet the City’s assigned share of RHNA as well as its adopted policy of encouraging the development of a diverse housing stock that provides a range of affordability levels.
Additionally, the City has had a longstanding practice to require affordable housing projects receiving City funding and/or developed pursuant to the City’s AHO provide a local live/work priority preference to applicants for units. This practice is based on City Council direction to ensure that affordable developments serve those living and/or working in Fremont to the maximum extent allowed by law. To strengthen the requirement and to ensure that it is transparent to all stakeholders, the Community Development Department integrated the live/work preference into the AHO. The purpose of the local live/work preference policy for affordable housing units is to remedy or mitigate the displacement and gentrification impacts that may result from development activities and increasing job opportunities in the city. The local resident preference is designed to increase the probability that current residents can remain in the community in the face of increasing market rate rents and housing prices and loss of affordable units due to the expiration of covenants restricting rents. The local worker preference for affordable housing units is to maximize the effect of an improved jobs to housing ratio by increasing local housing opportunities for local employees.
Program 51
Waive Impact Fees for
ADUs
Waive development impact fees for
ADUs. On-Going
The City of Fremont distinguishes ADUs from traditional development projects when it comes to development impact fees (DIFs). Unlike standard housing developments, ADUs, regardless of size, are exempt from paying any DIFs in Fremont. This exemption offers several advantages for both homeowners and the community. For example, eliminating DIFs significantly lowers the financial burden for homeowners considering building an ADU, making ADUs a more accessible and affordable option for expanding housing options. Furthermore, exempting ADU’s from impact fees is consistent with the treatment of residential additions as both add bedrooms to the property, while not altering the primary use of the property as a single-family residence of multi-family development.

On May 25, 2023, the City applied for a $35 million Homekey grant to convert the Motel 6, located at 46101 Research Avenue, into 156 units of permanent supportive affordable housing. The target population for this affordable housing project was to be acutely low-income residents—with a household income of 15% or less of the area median income—who are referred through the Coordinated Entry System and have connections to the Tri-Cities (Fremont, Newark, and Union City) and Alameda County. The project envisioned property management staff living at the property and on-site supportive services to be provided by Step Up. The City was unsuccessful in securing Homekey funding from the State. The City will pursue other opportunities to house the homeless when and if funding becomes available.
In Fall 2023, as part of the $757 million in funding through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, the “3900 Thornton” affordable housing project in Fremont’s Centerville area was selected as an awardee to receive $45.8 million in AHSC funding.

In 2023, the Department assembled a core project team consisting of Planning and Public Works Staff and explored funding opportunities, from Bay Area Metro, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Toxic Substances Control, to facilitate residential development on the City-owned, surplus property located at the intersection of Decoto Road and Fremont Boulevard (Site Nos. 258 and 259 in the Sites Inventory). The effort to develop the surplus site is commonly referred to as the “Fremont-Decoto Land Development Plan” (FDLDP).
Following meetings with grant coordinators, Staff learned that the FDLDP would not qualify for available funding due to timing, project, and/or site issue(s).
However, local funds to support the effort are available. In Summer/Fall of 2023, the City issued a RFQ to help with the FDLDP. More specifically, the purpose of the RFQ was to select a qualified project manager with land development experience in large-scale residential and/or mixed-use development, including affordable housing, to assist the City in designing and entitling a project on the surplus site. The City received statements of qualifications from six firms. After review of the submissions for responsiveness and overall strength of qualifications, the core project team short-listed WestGate Ventures and a second firm. Following interviews with the two firms, WestGate Ventures was recommended based on its relevant experience (including extensive entitlement and development experience in Fremont), make-up of the project team, understanding of project objectives, and competitive pricing. On January 2024, the City Council authorized entering a service agreement with WestGate Ventures.
WestGate Ventures envisions an approximately 2.5-year process from contract execution to entitlement. Initial steps to be completed in 2024 include several due diligence tasks (e.g., market analysis/pro forma, land constraints analysis, fulfillment of Surplus Lands Act obligations), development and analysis of concept plan options, and coordinating with City Staff to solicit a series of RFPs to hire technical consultants (e g civil engineer architect Program 64

Design Ordinance
Continue to implement ordinance. On-Going
The Community Development Department continues to implement the City’s Universal Design Ordinance, codified in Fremont Municipal Code Chapter 15.67.
The purpose of the ordinance is to: 1) Facilitate the development of residential dwelling units that are visitable, usable, and safe for occupancy by persons with disabilities and that support aging in place; 2) Allow new homebuyers the option of incorporating universal design principles into their future homes that would enhance their ability to remain in their homes during periods of temporary, developing, or permanent disabilities or frailties; and 3) Accommodate a wide range of individual preferences and functional abilities without significantly impacting housing costs and affordability. The Department has established a workflow process whereby applicants are notified of Universal Design Ordinance requirements during the entitlement review process, and the Building Division verifies compliance during building permit plan review and inspection.
Relatedly, in August of 2023, the City released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for up to $30 million in funding for affordable housing and included incorporation of Universal Design principles as an evaluation/selection criterion for proposals.

Inter-Jurisdictional and
Regional Planning
Coordinate with other agencies to
synergize planning efforts. On-Going
The Planning Division recognizes that effective residential planning transcends city boundaries. To ensure a well-coordinated and comprehensive approach, the Division actively collaborates with various entities at different levels.
Fremont works closely with neighboring cities like Union City, Newark, and Hayward to share data, best practices, and strategies for managing growth and development. This helps create a cohesive approach to regional housing needs and infrastructure planning.
In addition, as part of Alameda County, Fremont aligns its planning efforts with the county's broader vision by participating in the Alameda County Housing Element Collaborative. The involvement includes collaborating on issues like transportation infrastructure (i.e., Alameda CTC), environmental protection, and economic development, all of which impact residential development. The City and the School District (FUSD) have a strong relationship that works to ensure that new housing developments are matched with adequate school capacity.
This involves planning for new schools, expansions, and resource allocation. It is also the Division’s standard practice to inform external agencies and special districts, such as USD and ACWD, about its development applications to confirm that infrastructure capacity keeps pace with new housing developments.
Furthermore, Fremont actively participates in MTC | ABAG's planning processes, including RHNA that determines each city’s share of the region’s housing requirements as well as collaborates with the regional agency to secure funding for transportation projects that support its residential development goals. Moreover, Planning Staff also participates in the Planning Director’s Association, which is informed by MTC | ABAG.

Laws
Adopt Code Update Annually
The Planning Division continues to review and periodically amend the City’s zoning ordinance and other planning documents to comply with changes in State law. In 2023, the City completed multiple updates to further facilitate residential development.
On January 10, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 01-2023, approving amendments to the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO) [FMC Chapter
18.155]. In continuation of the City’s longstanding practice of providing a live/work preference at City-funded affordable housing projects, the amendments added a new section, 18.155.095 (Live/Work Local Preference), to the City’s AHO.
On July 11, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 06-2023, repealing and replacing the City’s ADU ordinance to comply with legislation that went into effect in 2023. The updated ordinance implemented Program 31 of Fremont’s 2023-2031 Housing Element.
On November 14, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2023-52, implementing Program 17 of Fremont’s 2023-203 Housing Element. To provide a predictable basis to review housing projects, the Resolution identified and/or clarified the objective design standards for the City’s various design guidelines.
On December 5, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance 07-2023, amending various chapters of Fremont Municipal Code Title 17 (Subdivisions) and Title 18 (Planning and Zoning) to comply with State law and implement programs 16, 17, 18, 32, 34, 36, 37, 44, 45, 46, 69, 74, 76, and 91 of the Fremont’s 2023-2031 Housing Element.
On January 9, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance 01-2024, amending Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations) of the Fremont Municipal Code to adopt short-term rental (STR) regulations. The new ordinance will allow STRs as an ancillary use in residential units with approval of a STR permit and includes standards to address potential nuisance and neighborhood compatibility issues Program 86

Improve Tracking of No

Implement new tracking procedure. On-Going
The Planning Division is committed to upholding the “No Net Loss” law, a crucial element in ensuring is to ensure development opportunities remain available throughout the planning period to accommodate Fremont’s RHNA, especially for
lower- and moderate- income households. As part of the 2024 Long Range Work Program, the Division will undertake a two-pronged approach to strengthen the tracking and accounting of units proposed on the City’s Housing Element Sites Inventory. The two-pronged approach involves a thorough review of the HCD’s memo on “No Net Loss” followed by the implementation of a reliable tracking mechanism.
In addition to prioritizing the creation of an active ledger to track housing units across the Housing Element Sites Inventory, the Long-Range Planning Team will remain committed to ongoing evaluation and refinement of the tracking mechanism. Based on user experience, the Team will identify areas for improvement and adjust the tracking system so that it remains effective in the face of evolving needs and challenges.

ADU Monitoring
Monitor progress annually as part of
Annual Progress Report (APR) to
ensure projections are accurate.
Determine necessity for adjustments by
April 2027 and implement additional
strategies by April 2028 if projections
are falling short.
On-Going
The City continues to track new ADUs that are completed and collect information on an annual basis as part of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report. Halfway through the projection period (2027), if trends indicate a potential shortfall in meeting the estimated ADUs in the sites inventory, the City will employ additional strategies to incentivize ADU production, and/or identify additional inventory sites to the extent necessary to accommodate the RHNA.
In 2023, the City issued building permits for 80 ADUs. This number exceeds the annual projection of 60 ADUs estimated in the Housing Element. Much like the overall decrease in permitted units, the decrease in ADU permits in 2023 compared to 2022 may be a result of higher interest rates and less favorable market conditions. Despite the decrease in permitted units, 156 ADU applications were submitted (i.e., “deemed complete”) to the City in 2023, which suggests that the interest in ADUs continues to be strong. Staff anticipates the momentum behind ADUs to continue largely because the City amended its ADU Ordinance, to comply with State law and remove barriers, in Fall 2023.
Program 89
Review Development
Standards to Ensure They

As part of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report, Staff will identify residential development projects that were approved below maximum density assess whether development standards precluded development at maximum density. Where development standards show to preclude development at maximum density, the development standard will be modified.
In 2023, Planning Staff continued to encourage housing developers to maximize density; however, rising borrowing rates, coupled with economic uncertainty, are influencing residential developer’s project choices, favoring townhomes over high-density projects.
