City Council
City of Grass Valley
125 East Main Street
Grass Valley, CA 95945
RE: Measure B
Dear Council Members,
May 14, 2024
I have recently corresponded with City staff. One purpose of this letter is to provide a copy of those letters and email. In addition, I am including a summary of my findings and relevant commentary.

First, I would like to thank Mr. Kiser for his speedy response to my most recent request.

The question at hand is did the City's presentation of Measure B, both on the March 5 ballot and as published in the Nevada County Voter Information Guide comply with the California Elections Code, specifically Section 13119?
Section 13119 refers to the "measure" on the ballot. In the case of Measure B, the whole of the measure is Ordinance No. 826.

Referring to subsection (a) the regulation requires the ballot include the question: "Shall the measure (stating the nature thereof) be adopted?", i.e. the BALLOT QUESTION.

Section 13119 provides further instruction for the BALLOT QUESTION in that it" .. . shall be a true and impartial synopsis of the purpose of the proposed Ordinance and shall be in language that is neither argumentative nor likely to create prejudice for or against the measure." (Please refer to my May 14, 2024, letter to Mr. Kiser for further edification of the above paragraphs.)
As you are aware, the BALLOT QUESTION for Measure B contained the following phrase:
" ... reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and extreme weather by funding additional firefighters, vegetation management, and emergency evacuation planning ... ". This phrase was not contained in the measure (Ordinance No. 826).

Elections Code, Section 13119 requires a description of the nature of the measure, nothing more. It also requires the statement be a true and impartial synopsis of the purpose of the measure. There is no leeway given. It cannot be argued that the offending phrase is part of the nature of the measure, or a true or impartial synopsis of the measure as it cannot be found in the Ordinance. In addition, the obvious . purpose of including the phrase was to create prejudice for the measure.

Item # 3.

From the above analysis, it is clear that the BALLOT QUESTION for Measure Bas presented to the voters was unequivocally out of compliance with State of California Elections Code, and as such, the BALLOT QUESTION most certainly misled the voters.

In addition, the City Attorney's "Impartial Analysis" of the measure also contained the same phrase, the phrase notably not found in the measure being analyzed. And finally, you, acting as a member of the City Council, guaranteed the voters that "Measure B will fund FIREFIGHTERS, WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION, and VEGETATION MANAGEMENT for Grass Valley", a guarantee also not found in the measure.

The voters of California approved Proposition 62 in 1984. Proposition 62 declared that "All taxes are either special taxes or general taxes. General taxes are taxes imposed for general governmental purposes. Special taxes are taxes imposed for specific purposes." There is no middle ground offered. The City of Grass Valley used the official ballot in an attempt to persuade voters that the tax revenue raised by Measure B would be used for the special purpose of reducing the risk of wildfire, all the while taking advantage of the lower totalvote threshold offered by a general tax initiative. This "middle ground" approach does not conform with Proposition 62.

It is true that the courts have emphasized that law must be interpreted to favor the will of the voters. Measure B has, at least for the time being, passed by a very slim majority.

However, the City's conduct in the preparation of the ballot, and the publishing of the "Impartial Analysis" and the Council's "Argument in Favor of Measure B", both found in the Voter Information Guide, eviscerated the will of the millions of Californians who voted in favor of Proposition 62 which made a clear distinction between a general and a special tax.

Given these findings, the City Council must now set aside Ordinance No. 826 and begin the process anew, taking extreme measures to keep the entire process as either a general fund tax initiative or a special tax initiative.

It may not have been your initial intent to mislead the voters; however, should you choose to continue with Measure B, knowing its procedural flaws, then one might assume it was your intention from the beginning.

Sincerely,
Tim McCall

Main/Mill crosswalk - accident
I Some people who received this message don't often get email fro�. Learn whv this is important Dear City of Grass Valley,
I've left a message with the engineering department and was advised I email this way too.

Last night at approximately 6:30pm, a woman rolled through the stop sign where Mill meets W. Main St.

Despite my yelling she almost hit my son and hit my dog. If I hadn't pushed my son out of the way he would have been hit too.

The lady got out of her car after hitting my dog and claimed the sun was in her eyes and didn't see us but she did not stop, and she admitted she didn't, and she was wrong.

Miraculously everyone is fine. Shaken, but fine. We are lucky.

Downtown needs to be more pedestrian friendly. What can we do to slow cars down? Can we install speed bumps, more green spaces, larger flashing lights? People are barreling up and down West Main Street and not paying attention. I live on Main Street near High and see people speeding through daily.

What is the process to request speed bumps at the very least? Do I need to start a petition? I imagine everyone on this Nextdoor thread would sign it.
!,don't feel safe! We were hit at one of the most obvious crosswalks in downtown Grass Valley! Imagine how people - residents and tourists - are risking their lives every day at every crosswalk in town. We need safer intersections. How can I help?
Thank you,
Pamela Vadakan

Council Meeting Date: 06/11/2024 Date Prepared: 06/06/2024 Agenda: Consent

Discussion:

In order to continue funding for the maintenance of improvements in the City’s landscaping and lighting districts and benefit assessment districts, an annual assessment must be levied and placed on the County of Nevada Tax Roll. The proceeds of the annual landscaping and lighting district assessments pay for maintenance of landscaping and associated structures, landscape related utilities, city administration costs and street lighting costs within the boundaries of the district. The proceeds of the annual benefit assessment districts pay for storm drain maintenance, retaining wall maintenance and city administration costs within the boundaries of the district.

The Engineer’s reports and assessment spreads are complete and will be filed within the time required prior to the public hearing scheduled for June 25, 2024.

Council Goals/Objectives: The Landscape & Lighting Districts (LLD) and Benefit Assessment Districts (A.D.) annual assessments supports the Strategic Plan – City Infrastructure Investment by covering costs for community-specific structures and services.

Fiscal Impact: The proposed fiscal year 2024-25 assessments for the City’s Landscape and Lighting Districts and Benefit Assessment Districts total $84,068.58 as compared to $81,985 for Fiscal Year 2023-2024, an increase of $2,083.58. This is due to CPI increases for some Districts while other Districts will be leaving amounts the same as the prior year.

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2024 was 3.2%.

ZONE 1 - Whispering Pines
The Whispering Pines development created the 1988-1 Commercial L&L District in 1988. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per property has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year.

This assessment spread uses two factors to determine individual lot assessments. Fifty percent of the cost is spread using the net area of each lot as to the total net area. Net area is the area remaining in each lot after deducting the area dedicated to open space. The remaining fifty percent is spread to those lots fronting Whispering Pines Lane on a front foot basis as a percentage of the total length of frontage along Whispering Pines Lane. The formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round ([(Total Assessment/2)*(% of Net Area)] + [(Total Assessment/2)*(% of Whispering Pines Lane Frontage)])
Notwithstanding the foregoing method of apportionment, parcels numbered 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 shall receive zero assessments for the first year as shown in the second amended Engineer’s Report and each of said parcels shall continue to receive no assessment until such time as the parcel is sold or developed.

Development shall be evidenced by issuance of a building permit; provided, however, that the issuance of a building permit to reconstruct the sanctuary of the Whispering Pines Church of God located on parcel numbers 19 and 20 shall not be construed to be development. At the time of sale or development of each of said parcels, they shall thereafter be assessed in accordance with the method of apportionment hereinabove set forth.

The total assessment for 2023/2024 was $29,100.30. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $30,032.17. The actual total assessment will be $30,032.00. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula above which incorporates each parcel’s net area and length of Whispering Pines Lane frontage.

Item # 5.

G:\ENG\L&L\2024-25\Commercial\2425EngReport_Com L&L.docx ZONE 2 - Litton Business Park
The Litton Business Park was annexed into the 1988-1 Commercial L&L District in 1999. Although the district was created after Proposition 218, the initial assessment per property has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund.

The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per development area of $480.00. It is the intent that each development area of the entire project share equally in all Landscaping and Lighting District expenses upon completion of said project. As future phases of this project are incorporated into the Landscaping and Lighting District, the existing assessment area will be reassessed and new assessment values will be calculated equally per development area. The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel =Round ((# of Development Areas) * (Total Assessment)) / (Total # of Development Areas)
The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year.

The total assessment for 2023/2024 was $6,550.50. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $6,760.63. The actual total assessment will be $6,760.30. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula shown above which evenly distributes the assessment over the original number of parcels. Parcels subdivided after the initial assessment pay a portion of the assessment based on percentage of area of the original parcel.

City of Grass Valley
2024/2025 Engineer’s Report
Residential Landscaping and Lighting District No. 1988-2 PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2024 was 6.0%.

ZONE I - Morgan Ranch
The Morgan Ranch Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 1996. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $87.00 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund. Per the formation documents, it is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses of Zone I.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year. The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels) Based on the total build-out number of parcels as of 6/1/2024, and the total assessment needed for FY 2024/2025, the levy will be increased $2.36 per dwelling unit to $76.36 per dwelling unit in accordance with the Consumer Price Index.

The total assessment for 2023/2024 was $28,416.00. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $29,325.31. The actual total assessment will be $29,322.24. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula shown above which evenly distributes the assessment over the number of parcels.

ZONE II - Ventana Sierra (Tract 90-03)
The Ventana Sierra Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 1993. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $190.00 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund. Per the formation documents, it is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses of Zone II.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments

ZONE III - Scotia Pines Subdivision
The Scotia Pines Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 1996. Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $66.27 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund. Per the formation documents, it is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses of Zone III.

The annual maximum assessments shall be adjusted annually, as set forth hereinafter, based upon the Consumer Price Indexes Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average as issued by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Base Index to be used for subsequent annual adjustments (“Base Index”) shall be the Index published annually in February (“Base Month”). The annual maximum assessment per lot, as defined in this report, shall be adjusted every year based upon the cumulative increase, if any, in the Index as it stands on the Base Month of each year over the Base Index. Any reduction or de-escalation in the Index from one year to the next will not result in a reduction of the annual costs. The annual costs will be levied consistent with the previous year. The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels) Based on the total build-out number of parcels as of 6/1/2024 and the total assessment needed for FY 2024/2025, the levy will be increased $2.60 per dwelling unit to $84.20 per dwelling unit in accordance with the CPI.

The total annual assessment for 2023/2024 was $4,488.00. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $4,631.62. The actual total assessment will be $4,631.00. Each parcel’s assessment rate, as depicted in Part C was calculated by using the assessment per parcel formula shown above which evenly distributes the assessment over the number of parcels.

ZONE V – Ridge Meadows
The Ridge Meadows Subdivision was annexed into the 1988-2 Residential L&L District in 2016.

Because the district was created before Proposition 218, the initial assessment per dwelling unit of $239.72 has been adjusted annually based on actual increases in utility and maintenance costs and the balance of the operational reserve fund. Per the formation documents, it is the intent that each dwelling unit of the project shares equally in all expenses of Zone V.

The landscaping, irrigation and street lights in Ridge Meadows and the maintenance of the landscaping, irrigation and street lights are of entirely local and special benefit to the parcels in Ridge Meadows, and no general benefits are provided by them. The street lighting services funded by the District constitute residential street lighting which provides safety lighting and sidewalk and parking illumination for the special benefit of assessed parcels.

PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2024 was 3.2%.

Morgan Ranch Unit 7
The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per dwelling unit of $84.29. It is the intent that each dwelling unit of the entire project share equally in all expenses upon completion.

The 2023/2024 assessment was $480. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $535.48. The actual total assessment will remain unchanged at $480.00. Based on the total build-out number of parcels and the total assessment needed, the FY 2024/2025 levy will remain at $20.00 per dwelling unit.

The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels)

PART D

METHOD OF APPORTIONING
In order to maintain sufficient funding for the Districts, assessments will be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) Pacific Cities and U.S. City Average for February of the year of calculation All Items Indexes for the West. The corresponding CPI for February 2024 was 3.2%.

Morgan Ranch West
The initial assessment spread created a yearly assessment per dwelling unit of $84.29. It is the intent that each dwelling unit of the entire project share equally in all expenses upon completion.

The 2023/2024 assessment was $750.00. Applying the inflation adjustment based on the cumulative increase to the initial assessment, the maximum allowable assessment for 2024/2025 is $886.90. The actual total assessment will remain unchanged at $750.00. Based on the total build-out number of parcels and the total assessment needed, the FY 2024/2025 levy will be $30.00 per dwelling unit.

The assessment formula is:

Assessment Per Parcel = Round (Total Assessment / # of Parcels)

Title: Active Transportation Program Grant Application – Leveraging Commitment CEQA: N/A – Not a Project/Administrative Action
Recommendation: That Council adopt a Resolution committing to project funding of $3.31 million in leveraging funds as part of the City’s grant application for the Wolf Creek Community and Connectivity Project.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: 06/11/2024 Date Prepared: 06/5/2024 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: On April 19, 2023, Council accepted the engineering and environmental work performed by Surf to Snow Environmental Resource Management, Inc. (S2S ERM) for the Wolf Creek Trail Project. Subsequently on June 13, 2023 a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.

Since this time City Staff have been seeking grant opportunities that would be suitable to fund the significant design and construction work costs for the project, currently estimated at $16.3 million. The Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 7 has been identified as a perfect opportunity, with the ATP program purposes and goals well matched to the objectives of the Wolf Creek Trail Project. Staff has been working closely with consultant Surf to Snow Environmental Resource Management, Inc. (S2S ERM) over the last several months to prepare a grant application; since renamed as the Wolf Creek Community and Connectivity Project, to better embody the ambitions of this transformational project.

Based on prior cycles, the ATP Program is extremely competitive, and every additional point scored can make a difference in attaining a ranking necessary to secure funding.

A section of the scoring rubric gives points for application showing dedication of leveraging funds, with maximum points given to commitments of 20% or more of the total project cost.

Based on the Engineer’s Estimate, a 20% match component would equate to approximately $3.31 million. Staff has identified available funding in this amount through a combination of $2 million in Special Projects funds from the Caltrans relinquishment, $570,000 in Regional Surface Transportation Program funds and $740,000 in future year Measure E funds. The future year Measure E monies could be split evenly between Parks and Streets components and could be spread out over several fiscal years throughout delivery of the project from 2026 to 2029, in order to

Item # 6.
avoid any significant drawdown of Measure E funds in a single year.

The grant guidelines require a letter of commitment from the City’s Chief Executive, as well as any other documentation to substantiate leveraging. Staff requests that Council authorize the City Manager to draft a letter of commitment for the amounts and sources of funding identified herein and that Council adopt the attached Resolution committing the City to $3.31 million in leveraging funds as part of the City’s grant application for the Wolf Creek Community and Connectivity Project.

Council Goals/Objectives: The Wolf Creek Community and Connectivity Project executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan goals – Community & Sense of Place, Transportation, and Recreation and Parks.

Fiscal Impact: A combination of available Regional Surface Transportation Program, Special Projects Funds, and future year Measure E funds are available to fully fund the $3.31 million commitment.

City Council
Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Mill Street Parking Lot – Temporary Parking Program CEQA: N/A – Not a Project/Administrative Action
Recommendation: That Council authorize a temporary parking program of a combination of free and permit parking for the Mill St Parking Lot.

Prepared by: Bjorn P. Jones, PE, City Engineer
Council Meeting Date: 06/11/2024 Date Prepared: 06/6/2024 Agenda: Administrative
Background Information: The Mill Street Parking Lot Construction Project involves the construction of an outdoor parking lot containing 33 parking spaces, located on a City owned lot at 309 Mill Street. The project is nearing completion, and the City must decide on a parking program for how to best utilize the new spaces.

The parking lot is a tiered layout due to the steep site topography with 14 spaces on an upper level closer to Mill Street and 19 spaces on a lower level separated by retaining walls, closer to Wolf Creek. Walkways connect the lower to the upper level and the parking lot is approximately 800 feet along sidewalks to the entrance of the Mill St Pedestrian Plaza.

Due to the ease of access from the upper level it is proposed that these 14 spaces be designated as free public parking for use by downtown patrons and visitors, with a standard three hour time limit. For the lower 19 spaces an option would be to designate these as permit parking only, in order to encourage use by downtown employees during business hours and would open up to public parking after hours. No overnight parking is proposed. Electrical conduits have also been placed in the parking lot that would enable future installation of a parking pay kiosk, if so desired.

Staff requests that Council authorize a temporary parking program of a combination of free and permit parking, as described, or provide alternate direction on a proposed parking use system for the Mill St Parking Lot. After evaluation of how the parking lot is utilized over time and in conjunction with a broader parking study in the downtown area, the parking program could be revised to ensure the most efficient use of the limited available parking spaces.

Council Goals/Objectives: The Mill St Parking Lot Project executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan goals – Community & Sense of Place, and Economic Development and Vitality.

Agenda Action Sheet
Title: Update Municipal Code Chapter 8.16 Fire Control Regulations CEQA: Not a project
Recommendation: That Council: 1) review the proposed ordinance to repeal Articles II, III, IV, and V of Municipal Code Chapter 8.16 (Fire Control Regulations) and replace with new Article II; 2) waive full reading and adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 37; 2) waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 38.

Prepared by: Mark Buttron -Fire Chief
Council Meeting Date: 06/11/2024 Date Prepared : 06/05/2024 Agenda: Administrative
Background Information: In August of 2017, the Council approved repealing Municipal Code Chapter 8.16, Fire Control Regulations and 8.36, Weed Abatement.

These repealed chapters were replaced with updated Municipal Code Chapter 8.16, Fire Control Regulations, which includes vegetation management and yard debris removal. Staff now requests the Council approve the repeal and replacement of Article II (“Miscellaneous Fire Control Regulations”), Article II (“Prohibitions”), Article IV (“Fireworks”), And Article V (“Violations – Penalty”) Of Chapter 8.16, temporarily (with the adoption of Urgency Ordinance No. 37) and permanently (with the introduction and subsequent adoption of Ordinance No. 38).

The new proposed ordinance uses the language of the referenced state and county regulations and/or laws (specifically, the parcel defensible space obligations found in the California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 4291, as reproduced by reference in Section 4907 of the California Fire Code, and the expanded defensible space obligations found in Title 4, Chapter I, of the Nevada County California County Code, which supplements PRC 4291. Using this approach, the existing inspection forms, educational materials, and outreach information available from CalFire and Nevada County could be used by Grass Valley as Grass Valley would have the same standards as Nevada City and the unincorporated county areas.

The existing City specific enforcement standards from other sections of the Municipal Code and the prohibition on fireworks are unchanged from the previous ordinance but

Item # 10.
361345.1
are formatted to match the proposed ordinance content. The prohibition on outdoor burning other than exempted remains intact.

Staff recommends this amendment to the Municipal Code be adopted as an urgency ordinance. The urgency ordinance may be introduced and adopted at a single meeting and becomes effective immediately if adopted by a 4/5 vote. To make these amendments permanent without needing to defend urgency findings indefinitely, staff recommends that Council simultaneously consider a standard ordinance, adopted after first and second readings, which will take effect 30 days after adoption. The standard ordinance is identical to the urgency ordinance but does not contain the specific findings of urgency. Upon becoming effective, the ordinance will repeal the urgency ordinance. This is the City Attorney’s standard procedure with respect to urgency ordinances that address long-term issues.

Council Goals/Objectives: Exceptional Public Safety consistent with the City of Grass Valley Strategic Plan

Item # 10.
4 EXHIBIT A
Chapter 8.16 – FIRE CONTROL REGULATIONS
ARTICLE II – FIRE REGULATIONS

8.16.200 – Purpose and Findings

1. The City supports the improved parcel defensible space obligations found in California Public Resources Code section 4291 and wishes to supplement it to ensure defensible space is maintained on parcels adjacent to improved parcels and along emergency access and evacuation routes and fire access easements.

2. To enhance public safety and to encourage efficient enforcement and administration of defensible space obligations, this Chapter adopts within the City enforceable standards consistent with Public Resources Code section 4291. These standards are enacted as local amendments to the California Building Standards Code and California Fire Code as adopted by Article I (“California Fire Code Adoption”) of Chapter 8.16 (“Fire Control Regulations”) of this Code.

3. During the wildland fire season as defined by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire), the City generally has a dry, arid climate conducive to wildfires. The City also has a very diverse and complex landscape, which includes dry, brush-covered and grass-covered wildlands, mountainous areas, heavily forested properties and other terrains which are home to vital watersheds and many sensitive plant and animal species. Many of the City’s native and non-native plant species can be highly combustible during normal dry periods and have contributed to significant wildfires within the City. Difficult topography and terrain exacerbate the fire danger and the difficulty of fighting wildfires and have resulted in catastrophic fire losses to life, property and the environment.

4. Of paramount importance to the City is the protection of lives and structures from the threat of wildfire and the safety of firefighters and law enforcement during wildfires. The proper establishment of defensible space benefits property owners, public safety personnel and all residents of the City. Defensible space dramatically increases the likelihood that structures will survive a wildfire, promotes firefighter safety during a firestorm, and generally aids in the protection of lives.

5. The purpose of this Article is to provide for the removal of hazardous vegetation and combustible material around improvements in the City to reduce the potential

Item # 10.
5 for fire and to promote the public health, safety and welfare. It is the further purpose of this Article to establish a hazardous vegetation reduction program to identify and abate hazardous vegetation to preserve life and property, while protecting sensitive plant and animal species and protecting against significant erosion and sedimentation. The removal of hazardous vegetation in the areas subject to this Article is an essential action property owners can take to increase the chances that property will survive a wildfire while also protecting the natural environment.

Regular fuels management consistent with this Article is necessary to achieve adequate defensible space. The defensible space required by this Article is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite structures, and there is no other feasible mitigation measure to reduce the risk of ignition or spread of wildfire to structures on adjacent parcels.

6. Open burning and fireworks present a significant hazard to the environment and to safety. It is in the City’s best interest to prohibit open burning and the sale, use and discharge or fireworks within the City. This Article prohibits fireworks and open burning within the city, other than as specified in this Article, to reduce the risk of uncontrolled fires.

7. The Fire Chief shall be principally responsible for the enforcement of this Ordinance.

8.16.210 – Application

Item # 10.
16 the City or County maintained system), for the protection of public health, safety or welfare or the environment if the Public Official finds that the additional fuels management is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite a Structure, and there is no other feasible mitigation measure to reduce the risk of ignition or spread of wildfire to a Structure on an Improved Parcel. The Public Official shall determine appropriate defensible space distances based upon a visual inspection of the Parcel and shall consider all factors that place the Structure(s) on the adjacent Improved Parcel at risk from an approaching fire.

These factors shall include, but are not limited to, local weather conditions, fuel type(s), topography, and the environment of the adjacent parcel or the Structure(s).

5. When an occupied Structure is less than 100 feet from a property line and Combustible Material or Hazardous Vegetation on an adjacent parcel presents a fire hazard to the occupied Structure, the owner of the parcel on which the fire hazard exists shall be responsible for clearing that owner’s land within 100 feet of the occupied Structure and as needed to provide the necessary fire protection in the manner and to the extent required by a Public Official pursuant to this Article.

6. When the terrain, condition or environment on an adjacent Parcel is such that it cannot or should not be disked or mowed, a Public Official may require, or authorize, other means of Hazardous Vegetation or Combustible Material removal.

7. No Responsible Party may allow any vegetation on his or her property to interfere with street and emergency vehicle access, regardless of whether the access is along a public street or a private access road. If a Public Official determines vegetation would interfere with street or emergency vehicle access, the Public Official may provide written notice to a Responsible Party requiring vegetation to be trimmed for a specified additional distance.

A. If a Responsible Party fails to maintain these clearance requirements, a Public Official may abate this nuisance without further notice and at the Parcel owner’s expense.

B. This subsection shall not apply to cultivated groundcover such as green grass, ivy, succulents, or similar plants used as groundcovers, provided they do not constitute a fire hazard.

C. A Public Official may summarily abate weeds or hazardous growth on private property that in any way hinders emergency access and may charge the Parcel

EXHIBIT A
Chapter 8.16 – FIRE CONTROL REGULATIONS
ARTICLE II – FIRE REGULATIONS

8.16.200 – Purpose and Findings

1. The City supports the improved parcel defensible space obligations found in California Public Resources Code section 4291 and wishes to supplement it to ensure defensible space is maintained on parcels adjacent to improved parcels and along emergency access and evacuation routes and fire access easements.

2. To enhance public safety and to encourage efficient enforcement and administration of defensible space obligations, this Chapter adopts within the City enforceable standards consistent with Public Resources Code section 4291. These standards are enacted as local amendments to the California Building Standards Code and California Fire Code as adopted by Article I (“California Fire Code Adoption”) of Chapter 8.16 (“Fire Control Regulations”) of this Code.

3. During the wildland fire season as defined by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire), the City generally has a dry, arid climate conducive to wildfires. The City also has a very diverse and complex landscape, which includes dry, brush-covered and grass-covered wildlands, mountainous areas, heavily forested properties and other terrains which are home to vital watersheds and many sensitive plant and animal species. Many of the City’s native and non-native plant species can be highly combustible during normal dry periods and have contributed to significant wildfires within the City. Difficult topography and terrain exacerbate the fire danger and the difficulty of fighting wildfires and have resulted in catastrophic fire losses to life, property and the environment.

4. Of paramount importance to the City is the protection of lives and structures from the threat of wildfire and the safety of firefighters and law enforcement during wildfires. The proper establishment of defensible space benefits property owners, public safety personnel and all residents of the City. Defensible space dramatically increases the likelihood that structures will survive a wildfire, promotes firefighter safety during a firestorm, and generally aids in the protection of lives.

5. The purpose of this Article is to provide for the removal of hazardous vegetation and combustible material around improvements in the City to reduce the potential

Item # 10.
361340.1
for fire and to promote the public health, safety and welfare. It is the further purpose of this Article to establish a hazardous vegetation reduction program to identify and abate hazardous vegetation to preserve life and property, while protecting sensitive plant and animal species and protecting against significant erosion and sedimentation. The removal of hazardous vegetation in the areas subject to this Article is an essential action property owners can take to increase the chances that property will survive a wildfire while also protecting the natural environment.

Regular fuels management consistent with this Article is necessary to achieve adequate defensible space. The defensible space required by this Article is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite structures, and there is no other feasible mitigation measure to reduce the risk of ignition or spread of wildfire to structures on adjacent parcels.

6. Open burning and fireworks present a significant hazard to the environment and to safety. It is in the City’s best interest to prohibit open burning and the sale, use and discharge or fireworks within the City. This Article prohibits fireworks and open burning within the city, other than as specified in this Article, to reduce the risk of uncontrolled fires.

7. The Fire Chief shall be principally responsible for the enforcement of this Ordinance.

8.16.210 – Application
This Article shall apply to:

1. All areas of the City.

2. All Parcels adjacent to Improved Parcels where: the owner or occupant of an Improved Parcel is unable to obtain the Defensible Space required by this Code on that Improved Parcel and a Public Official determines the current condition of fuels on the subject Parcel is a hazardous fire condition. The owner of such an adjacent Parcel shall modify fuels to meet the Defensible Space requirements of the adjacent Improved Parcel subject to applicable law, including a finding by a Public Official that fuel modification or abatement is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite a Structure, and there is no other feasible mitigation measure to reduce the risk of ignition or spread of wildfire to the Structure.

3. All Parcels where:

1. Hazardous Vegetation and Combustible Materials within 100 feet of a Structure (or greater as determined by a Public Official) or along roadways that serve as primary ingress and egress routes, are hereby declared to be a public nuisance that may be abated in accordance with this Article, and by any other means available by law.

2. It shall be the duty of Responsible Parties as to any Parcel to abate therefrom, and from all sidewalks and roadways on or immediately adjacent thereto (except for

Item # 10.
361340.1
those roads accepted into the City or County maintained system), all Combustible Material and Hazardous Vegetation which constitute a fire hazard and public nuisance which may endanger or damage neighboring property or forestland.

3. The requirements of this section shall be satisfied if the Parcel and all sidewalks and roadways on or immediately adjacent thereto (except for those roads accepted into the City or County maintained system) are cleared in accordance with a Notice to Abate by cutting brush, trimming trees, thinning trees, disking, mowing, plowing or any other method described in a Notice to Abate, or, if no Notice to Abate is issued, by removing all Hazardous Vegetation and Combustible Materials as follows:

A. Maintain a Defensible Space of 100 feet from each side and from the front and rear of a Structure, but not beyond the property line except as provided by law.

The amount of fuel modification necessary may be based upon the flammability of the Structure as affected by building material, building standards, location, and type of vegetation. Fuels shall be maintained so that a wildfire under average weather conditions would be unlikely to ignite the Structure. The intensity of fuels management may vary within the 100 foot perimeter of a Structure, the most intense being with the first 30 feet around a Structure.

Consistent with fuels management objectives, steps shall be taken to minimize erosion;
B. Maintain a 100 foot wide area of land around Structure(s) located on an adjacent Improved Parcel (some or all of this Defensible Space requirement may be required on an adjacent Parcel depending upon the location of the Structure on the Improved Parcel);

Item # 10.
361340.1
the City or County maintained system), for the protection of public health, safety or welfare or the environment if the Public Official finds that the additional fuels management is necessary to significantly reduce the risk of transmission of flame or heat sufficient to ignite a Structure, and there is no other feasible mitigation measure to reduce the risk of ignition or spread of wildfire to a Structure on an Improved Parcel. The Public Official shall determine appropriate defensible space distances based upon a visual inspection of the Parcel and shall consider all factors that place the Structure(s) on the adjacent Improved Parcel at risk from an approaching fire.

These factors shall include, but are not limited to, local weather conditions, fuel type(s), topography, and the environment of the adjacent parcel or the Structure(s).

5. When an occupied Structure is less than 100 feet from a property line and Combustible Material or Hazardous Vegetation on an adjacent parcel presents a fire hazard to the occupied Structure, the owner of the parcel on which the fire hazard exists shall be responsible for clearing that owner’s land within 100 feet of the occupied Structure and as needed to provide the necessary fire protection in the manner and to the extent required by a Public Official pursuant to this Article.

6. When the terrain, condition or environment on an adjacent Parcel is such that it cannot or should not be disked or mowed, a Public Official may require, or authorize, other means of Hazardous Vegetation or Combustible Material removal.

7. No Responsible Party may allow any vegetation on his or her property to interfere with street and emergency vehicle access, regardless of whether the access is along a public street or a private access road. If a Public Official determines vegetation would interfere with street or emergency vehicle access, the Public Official may provide written notice to a Responsible Party requiring vegetation to be trimmed for a specified additional distance.

A. If a Responsible Party fails to maintain these clearance requirements, a Public Official may abate this nuisance without further notice and at the Parcel owner’s expense.

B. This subsection shall not apply to cultivated groundcover such as green grass, ivy, succulents, or similar plants used as groundcovers, provided they do not constitute a fire hazard.

C. A Public Official may summarily abate weeds or hazardous growth on private property that in any way hinders emergency access and may charge the Parcel
