RE: Measure B Questions
Dear Mr. Kiser,
First, I would like to convey my appreciation for your responses to my earlier inquiries regarding Measure B. They were informative and quite helpful.
I would now like to inquire regarding answers to my remaining questions. Some were posed 6 weeks ago and the latest nearly 4 weeks ago. I realize the position you hold at the City demands attention and that your time is valued. However, I assure you that receiving timely answers will not only be appreciated and valued by me but may prove to be even more valuable to the citizens of Grass Valley.
For your easy reference I have included a list of the dates of the letters posing the questions along with a synopsis of each question. Each letter includes background information for the questions. Please rely on the letters for full context and understanding when considering the questions.
Letter Date Question
June 4, 2024 • Does Resolution 2023-57, while calling for a general tax measure to fund specific financial needs, violate Gov Code 53721?
• If “Yes”, does this render the Resolution null and void? June 5, 2024 • Effective (operative) date of July 1st? Answered by default. • Person responsible for inserting the July 1st date into the agreement with CDTFA?
• Intent of “Operative Date”? Answered by default.
• Must agreements be reissued? Answered by default.
• Level of City expenses incurred due to error?
June 13, 2024 • Was the 10-day waiting period specified in Section 18 required prior to adopting Ordinance No. 826?
June 13, 2024 • Does Council’s motion and vote to adopt Ordinance No. 826 violate Gov Code 54954.2 (a) (1) & (3)?
June 17, 2024 Rebuttal leaves question remaining from my June 3 letter:
• Does inaccurate statement render Resolution 2023-57 null and void? June 21, 2024 • Does the BALLOT QUESTION for Measure B violate the Elections Code Section 13119? Also, please refer to my May 14, 2024 letter. • If “Yes”; does this render Measure B null and void?
Item # 1.
Please recall that in most cases if the answer is “No”, I have requested an explanation and asked that you provide any citations or authorities on which you might have relied.
If you require additional copies of any of the letters, I will be pleased to provide them.
Given the length of time that has passed, it occurs to me that you or others may believe my questions seek information that is not public. I would certainly appreciate knowing if that were the case.
Perhaps my discussion preceding each of the questions is not clear, or the basic premise is incorrect. Please advise and I will attempt to clarify or correct.
Perhaps you or others believe my questions to be inappropriate, or you have been directed not to respond. I hope this is not the case, but if so, I would appreciate you keeping me advised.
Your cooperation thus far has been appreciated. If there is anything lacking on my part, I will be happy to respond to your requests.
Regards,

Council Meeting Date: 08/13/2024 Date Prepared: 08/06/2024 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: During the budget discussions for Measure E, the City Council decided not to allocate Measure E funds for the Student Matinee Program at the June 25, 2024, Council Meeting. This decision aligned with the Measure E Oversight Committee's recommendation from their June 24, 2024, meeting.
At the June 25, 2024, Council Meeting, the City Council directed City staff to explore alternative funding options for the Student Matinee Program and present these options for consideration. Given the limited new revenues in the general fund, staff suggests using Special Project funds to support the program as a one-time expenditure.
Staff requests Council direction on funding the Student Matinee Program as proposed by The Center for the Arts. Attached is the Center for the Arts proposal for this program for City Council reference and consideration.
Council Goals/Objectives: The Student Matinee Program executes portions of work tasks towards achieving/maintaining Strategic Plan – Recreation and Parks, and Community & Sense of Place and Economic Development and Vitality.
Fiscal Impact: The Student Matinee Program will be fully funded with Special Project funds to support the program as a one-time expenditure.

BACKGROUND
The Center for the Arts and the city of Grass Valley have forged a symbiotic relationship that extends beyond the realm of cultural enrichment. This partnership serves as a cornerstone for economic vitality in the community. As a cultural hub, The Center attracts diverse audiences from near and far, fostering tourism and generating foot traffic that benefits local businesses, including restaurants, shops, and accommodations. The infusion of visitors not only enhances the city's vibrancy but also contributes substantially to its economic growth. Beyond being a mere venue for artistic expression, The Center for the Arts functions as a powerful economic driver, creating a ripple effect that bolsters the local economy and positions Grass Valley as a destination for both artistic endeavors and economic opportunities. Grass Valley has historically been a generous supporter of The Center for the Arts, but in the past two years this support has not been present.

STUDENT MATINEE PROGRAM
Since Spring 2022, the California Arts Council has supported a Student Matinee Program for the youth of Nevada County. With four schools within walking distance of The Center, this program has presented professional theater productions to more than 800 Grass Valley school children annually. The funding for this program will end in 2024.
With support from the City of Grass Valley, The Center for the Arts will be able to continue the Student Matinee Program consisting of two dramatic productions for local schoolchildren, with an emphasis on K-5th grade. The Program’s goal is to expose local schoolchildren to a variety of theater experiences and live performances and to inspire students to participate in additional programs offered at The Center. Each of our chosen productions are

culturally diverse, and offer a variety of viewpoints from a number of different geographical backgrounds, and for many students this may be their first experience of live theater. Our goal is to reduce financial barriers that prohibit socioeconomically disadvantaged families from participating in our programs. We will offer the Program at no cost to participating schools.
Our Request
Each matinee benefits hundreds of students and includes study guides for teachers and post show discussions for schoolchildren. The cost of one student matinee is $8,000. Our goal is to continue to this program for the students of the Grass Valley school district and produce two annual productions at a total cost of $16,000.
Thank you for your consideration to continue this beneficial program for the students of Grass Valley! Sincerely,

Title: Continuation of 20% Water Conservation from all City Customers Due to inoperable Drum and South Yuba Canals
CEQA: Not a Project.
Recommendation: That Council continue the mandate of all City Water Customers to conserve 20% of their normal water usage.
Prepared by: Timothy M. Kiser, City Manager
Council Meeting Date: August 13, 2024 Date Prepared: August 9, 2024 Agenda: Consent
Background Information: On March 27, 2024, Nevada Irrigation District (NID) adopted a resolution declaring a water shortage emergency related to Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s (PG&E’s) unplanned outages on the South Yuba Canal and Spaulding Reservoir.
In February and March 2024 respectively, PG&E notified NID that a portion of the South Yuba Canal and Drum Canal were rendered inoperable due to a collapse and powerhouse failure. These two combined failures have rendered it impossible to move water into the Drum and South Yuba Canals. Both canals serve as the delivery conduit to provide water to thousands of customers in the NID service area, including raw water to the City of Grass Valley’s Water Treatment plant. Therefore, NID has deemed it necessary to implement water conservation for all District customers. On June 26, 2024, NID implemented mandatory water conservation for all district users of 20% of their 2023 usage.
As the City receives raw water from NID, City Council adopted Resolution 2024-54 on July 9th, 2024, that mandated all City water user customers to conserve 20% of their normal water usage until (a) notification by the NID that water delivery in satisfactory volumes has been re-established by PG&E; or (b) superseded by the NID Board of Directors, whichever is earlier. At this time, the Mandatory Water Conservation is still in place.
Council Goals/Objectives: The execution of this action attempts to achieve Strategic Goal #5 – High Performance Government and Quality Service.
Fiscal Impact: Depending on the length of outage may have reduction in water fund for reduced water usage.

All items to be posted shall be officially authorized by the Association and shall bear the date of posting and the date of removal. Posted materials shall not be obscene, defamatory, or of a partisan political nature, misleading, violative of any Federal, State, or local ordinance, law, statute or rule. Such material shall not pertain to public issues which do not involve the City and its relations with employees. A copy shall be provided to the Police Chief.
The Police Chief or his/her designee, upon request, may permit the Association to use facilities, depending upon availability of space, for meeting purposes at no charge. No request for use of the

2 City facilities shall be unreasonably refused.
Employees shall not be given time off for meetings of the Association unless approved by the Police Chief.
The Association shall furnish annually and update as required a list of all officials and representatives authorized to act on the Association's behalf. The City agrees to grant authorized officials and representatives access to City property to transact officially the Association business upon prior notice to the City Manager.
B. Union Access to Employees
The City agrees that for purposes of representation on issues covered by this agreement, official representatives of the Union may meet with unit employees on City facilities during working hours, provided that prior notification has been given to the appropriate supervisor. The Union agrees that such meetings shall not interfere with the normal work duties of the employees.
Solicitation for membership in the Union or other internal association business not directly connected to administration of this agreement shall be conducted during the nonwork hours of all employees involved.
City facilities may be made available for use by City employees or the Union in accordance with such administrative procedures as may be established by the City Manager or Department Heads concerned.
City will provide a written statement to each new bargaining unit employee that the classification is part of a bargaining unit represented by the Union, and the name of a representative of the Union. City will provide the Union President not less than ten (10) days’ notice of the onboarding orientation meeting, including the date, time, and location of the orientation meeting.
If a bargaining unit employee’s first day of work begins less than ten (10) days after the date the employee is hired, the 10-day notice requirement may be reduced, and City will instead provide as much advance notice as reasonably possible of the orientation meeting.
The City will allow a Business Representative of the Union and/or outside labor representative to spend up to fifteen (15) minutes with the new unit member at the end of the onboarding orientation meeting in order to provide information and materials about the MOU and related matters. No representative of City management shall be present during the Union’s presentation.

Employees may sign up for Payroll Deductions of Association dues with the Association.

Association agrees to provide a listing of all additions or deletions of membership or requested changes to establish payroll deductions of its members, to the City.
The employee’s earnings must be sufficient after the other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues authorized. When an employee is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover the pay period from future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a non-pay status during only part of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. All other legal and required deductions (including healthcare deductions) have priority over Association dues.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the Association to procure and enforce payroll deduction of dues.
Hold Harmless: The Association shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees, and agents acting on its behalf from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments and other forms of liability arising out of the application or enforcement of this Section. In no event shall the City be required to pay from its own funds Association dues which the employee was obligated to pay, but failed to pay regardless of the reasons.
Any Association member who notifies the City of their desire to discontinue dues or otherwise withdraw from Association membership shall be referred back to the Association. The City agrees to continue all dues deductions until notified of a deduction

c) Medical appointment of an employee.
d) The absence from duty of an employee due to medical appointment or illness of his/her spouse, domestic partner, child or parent to the extent provided by California Law (specifically AB 109, known as the “Kin Care” legislation effective in 2002, and SB 1471 as enacted in 2003)..

Sick leave due to a medical appointment must be approved in advance by the employee’s immediate supervisor. Other leaves provided for due to illness or medical complications shall be provided consistent with other leave conditions herein and within the Federal and State Family Leave Acts.
If absence from duty by reason of sickness extends beyond the period of three (3) consecutive working shifts, the employee may be required to file, with the Human Resources Office, a certificate of sickness or disability prepared by a regular, licensed and practicing physician prior to entitlement to sick leave pay. A copy of this certificate shall also be filed with the Police Chief.
All employees whose absence from duty because of sickness extends beyond (1) calendar week may be required to provide a weekly report or certificate by a regular licensed and practicing physician to be filed with the Human Resources Office. Certificates filed under this Section shall detail the nature of the sickness and certify the employee's inability to return to work. If no certificate is filed, salary or wages may be withheld from said employee.
The Human Resources Office or Police Chief may require any employee to furnish a certificate of illness or disability completed by a regular, licensed and practicing physician at any time that the Human Resources Office or the Police Chief is aware of information that an employee is abusing the sick leave privilege. No employee will be disciplined for insubordination based on the refusal to work when he/she has elected to use accrued sick leave but will remain subject to discipline for any abuse of the sick leave, dishonesty in use of sick leave or other grounds for discipline arising from inappropriate use or abuse of sick leave.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this MOU, the City shall provide every employee at least as much sick leave as required by California Labor Code section 245 et seq. as it now exists or may be amended during the term of this Agreement. The City shall inform the Employees when it establishes or alters a policy governing the allowance of such leave.
C. Extended Medical Leave (See Civil Service Rules, same title) Those employees who have been granted an approved extended medical leave shall not be required to provide weekly verification of their medical condition. However, this is subject to the right of the City to require such verification if the City reasonably believes that the granting of medical leave is being abused. Failure of an employee to supply the requested verification of medical condition shall be grounds for terminating extended medical leave.
D. Bereavement Leave
Employees shall be granted leave of absence with pay, not to exceed 60 hours per fiscal year, noncumulative, for purposes of attending funeral services, making related arrangements for the family or travel to and from the location of services on account of the death of any member of his/her immediate family.

Each and every credit of vacation earned by an employee shall be vested to such employee at the conclusion of each pay period of service.
Employees shall be permitted to accumulate accrued vacation hours until reaching the maximum limit 380 hours. Once the employee has reached the maximum limit, vacation accruals over the maximum hour limit will automatically be converted to, and deposited in, a sick leave bank for retirement service credit conversion. The banked sick leave shall only be used to convert to PERS service credit at retirement from the City of Grass Valley. Should the employee utilize all sick leave accruals, all CTO accruals and all but up to 56 hours of Holiday leave, he/she will be entitled to utilize the banked sick leave hours for illness and/or extended medical leave.
Vacations will be scheduled in December and June of each year for the six-month period following the sign-up period. If staffing levels require vacations to be denied, additional time or banking of time will be granted based on a request of the Chief to the City Manager.

5. Payment will be issued at the employee’s current regular rate of pay at the time the payment is made.

H. Community Service and Professional Organization Participation The City encourages employees to participate and be involved in community service and professional organizations.
Item # 4.
13 Upon approval by the City Manager, the City may make a reasonable amount of paid release time available for employees to represent the City and to participate and be involved as a member or officer in a community service, professional organization, excluding fraternal organizations.
Further, the Council recognizes that certain expenses may be incurred by an employee to be an active member or to participate in such an organization. Therefore, upon approval by the City Manager, the Council shall budget and pay or reimburse, on behalf of the employee, expenses for his/her membership and attendance of such costs as dues, fees, assessments or charges associated with participating in the organization up to $250 per fiscal year.
I. Family and Medical Care Leave
Regular full time employees, with more than one (1) year of continuous service, or have worked more than 1250 hours during the previous 12-months, may request an unpaid Family and Medical Care Leave of absence of up to 12-weeks in any one continuous 12-month period. This leave may be taken for the birth or adoption of a child, to care for a child, spouse or parent who has a serious health condition or for the employee’s own health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of their job. If this leave is granted, upon the employee’s return, the employee will be reinstated to the same or a comparable position as the position held before the leave. Available accruals must be used for such leaves. For leaves related to an employee’s own serious health condition, or that of an eligible family member, sick leave will be utilized first, followed by other accruals (i.e., holiday, CTO, vacation). If all available accrual is depleted, an employee may continue on an unpaid leave until the 12-week maximum leave is taken. If an employee desires to take an FMLA leave not associated with the serious health condition of him/herself, or an eligible family member, sick leave hours accrued may not be used (i.e., adoption of a child, birth of a child).
An employee may elect to keep forty (40) hours of sick leave in their accrual bank prior to taking unpaid time off.
Whenever possible, the employee must provide at least thirty (30) calendar days written notice that the employee wishes to take this leave of absence. When this is not possible, the employee must notify the City, in writing, as soon as possible. Failure to comply with these notification rules may result in the denial or deferral of the requested leave until the employee complies with the notice provisions.
The City will require the certification from the health care provider who is attending to the serious health care condition of the employee, employee’s child, spouse or parent before allowing the employee to take a leave to take care of that family member. If there is a question concerning this certification, the City reserves the right to require additional certification(s) at City expense.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the City, any Family and Medical Care Leave must be taken in segments of one (1) full workday.
If the employee is pregnant, the employee has the right to take a maternity leave and some amount of Medical Care Leave. The employee should check with Human Resources to determine eligibility under such circumstances.
Item # 4.
14 The cost of the employee’s health care coverage while on a Family and Medical Care Leave less any portion of the premium the employee is required to pay will be paid for by the City for up to twelve (12) weeks. If the employee does not return from leave, the employee will be responsible for reimbursing the City for the insurance premiums paid on the employee’s behalf.
While the above provisions will apply to most employees in most circumstances, there are certain exceptions under which the City may refuse to grant a Family Care Leave.

Item # 4.
18 2. All appointments from an eligibility list will enter the probationary periods at the base salary of the range applicable to the job. The City Manager and Chief of Police may recommend elevation above the entry level step to compensate for education and experience.
3. All employees shall be eligible for a merit step increase to the next step in pay range every twelve (12) months until the end of his or her pay range, if recommended by the Chief of Police and approved by the City Manager that such employee's job performance satisfies the City and department standards relating to such employees.
Employees denied a merit increase will be eligible for reconsideration no later than three (3) months following their initial review date.
4. An employee promoted from a promotional eligibility list to a position in a higher pay range will be placed at the minimum of the new range, or at a level in the new range to provide a minimum 5% increase in the regular rate of pay. Any new pay rate upon promotion may not exceed the top of the pay range. The date of the promotion will establish a new anniversary date for the employee’s future merit increases. Should a promotion occur concurrently with the employee’s evaluation, and the employee is eligible for a merit increase, the merit increase is to be included in the base salary before the promotion.
5. Upon reduction in force, permanent employees may be appointed to a classification with a lower pay range. An employee assigned by management to a position in a lower classification shall be placed at the step in the new range to provide an approximate 5% decrease in regular pay. The anniversary date for future merit increases will be the date of the appointment to the lower classification.
6. Allocation to a class with Lower Salary Range: If the salary range of the new class to which an employee's position is allocated has a maximum step lower than that of his/her current class, but not lower than his/her actual salary, he/she should continue to receive his/her present salary until his/her next anniversary date, which remains unchanged, at which time he/she would be eligible for a merit increase in the new range. If the top of the new range is lower than the current salary, then the salary will be reduced to an amount not to exceed the top of the new range effective the next full pay period one year from the re-allocation date.
7. A reclassification may result if the job, responsibilities, duties, requirements, skills change to a degree that the position needs to be placed in a new classification. If the reclassification impacts only the incumbent employee and the employee is qualified for the position, they will be placed in the position. If more than one employee is impacted and each is qualified, an internal review of the employees will be completed to select the best qualified person for the position. A reclassification will result in the elimination of the old position if it is a single person position and be replaced by the new position, as by the very process the position has fundamentally changed. A reclassification is not a promotion and does not carry with it an automatic pay increase. If the employee’s salary is currently below the minimum of the new range, the employee’s salary will be increased to meet the minimum of the new range. A reclassification will not change the employee’s annual evaluation date. The employee will be able to move through the new pay range based on the normal evaluation and merit process.

The City may make such protective clothing or other protective devices available to employees as the Police Chief deems appropriate under the circumstances. Any employee issued such protective clothing or other protective device is responsible for the proper care of these items.
B. Employee Alertness
(1) The most effective safety equipment an employee possesses is an alert mind. Conversely, an employee whose judgment, reactions and analytical processes are impaired or influenced by alcohol or drugs poses a risk to himself/herself, his/her fellow officers and employees, and to the public. The City, therefore, expressly retains the right as explained in this Article to verify that employees covered by this MOU are alert and are not under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, drugs, or other conditions which would tend to affect or impair judgment, reactions or thought processes.
(2) The parties recognize the problems associated with alcohol and drug abuse in the work place and recognize the safety hazard which would be presented if an employee worked while under the influence of alcohol, intoxicating drugs or controlled substances. The parties further agree that a testing procedure with both privacy and accuracy safeguards is one appropriate means to protect the safety of employees.
C. Drug, Alcohol and Substance Abuse Policy
(1) The City reserves the right, for reasonable suspicion, to require an employee to submit to drug, alcohol or substance abuse testing.
(2) "Reasonable suspicion" for purposes of this Article includes, but is not limited to the following:
(a) A critical incident has occurred while on duty for the City or at the employee's work location.
(i) An accident involving a City vehicle or equipment causing damage to property or persons, in combination with any factors in (b) below. (ii) Employee manifests mental or physical impairment sufficient to raise doubt that normal tasks can be safely or effectively performed. (iii) Employee is observed with illegal drug or drug paraphernalia in possession for possible sale or use; employee is observed with open container of alcohol in work area or vehicle.
(b) Documented objected facts and a reasonable inference drawn from those facts that an employee is under the influence of drugs, alcohol or substance. Such objective facts may include characteristics of the employee's appearance, behavior, mannerisms, and speech or body odors. Components of such documentation should include:
Item # 4.
29 1. equilibrium,

E. Coverage
The City recognizes the hazards associated with the police profession and will provide adequate staffing to protect the public and attempt to make certain that employees covered by this MOU are not exposed to undue or unnecessary hazards. The Police Chief shall determine the appropriate staffing using these basic principles. Additional staffing over and above authorized current staff levels is subject to City Council approval.

Council Meeting Date: August 13, 2024 Date Prepared: August 5, 2024 Agenda: XXX
Background Information: At the June 18, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider three Use Permit applications for a reduction in the multifamily covered parking
Item # 6.
standard at 210 Sutton Way (Cedar Park Apartments, 24PLN-0008), 265 Sutton Way (Glenbrook Apartments, 24PLN-0009), and 228 Sutton Way (Oak Ridge Apartments, 24PLN-0010). The request was to reduce the covered parking requirement to zero. This hearing had been continued from the Planning Commission’s May 21, 2024 meeting. The three applications were heard as one item as they were submitted by the same applicant for the same request based on the same justification for three neighboring apartment complexes.
The applicant, Cascade Housing Association, operates 100 percent affordable housing at these complexes, originally approved in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. At the time of original construction, carports were installed to meet the requirements of the approved projects. In the winter of 2023, several carports were damaged or destroyed by snow, and subsequently all carports were removed by the owner. Retroactive demolition permits were issued for the removals in March 2024, after the owner applied for a building permit for new exterior lighting, that alerted City staff to the removal of the carports.
There were two members of the public who provided public comment on this item at the June 18, 2024 hearing. The primary issues raised included tenant concerns about vehicle exposure to sun and snow with no where to shovel snow that builds up on vehicles, a request to apply standards consistently, and a note that the structures were demolished without a permit and the possibility of overlooked emergency funding support at the time of collapse.
There were four Planning Commissioners present for the item: Vice Chair Brouillette, Commissioner Coots, Commissioner Gross, and Commissioner McDonald. Chair Robins was absent. The Planning Commission deliberated extensively on the applications, discussing the cost of covered parking installation, alternatives to traditional carports to provide covered parking, covered parking as an amenity for residents, financial constraints on affordable housing, and more. At their June meeting, the Planning Commission denied the Use Permit applications with a 3:1 vote, based on the finding that insufficient quantitative evidence was provided to document a need for a reduction of the covered parking standard. The June 18th, 2024 Planning Commission staff report is attached and the full discussion can be viewed at the following link, beginning at the 15:50 time marker:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhtD_r2MxRU.
On July 1, 2024, Staff received an appeal from Denni Ragsdale on behalf of Cascade Housing Association challenging the Planning Commission’s denial of the Use Permit applications. The appeal was timely filed within the 15-day appeal period following the Planning Commission decision.
Appeal Description:
The applicant is appealing the Planning Commission decision to deny the Use Permits based on insufficient evidence. The appeal makes the following points:
1) Reiterates that the cost of installing carports exceeds the insurance claim payout received for the removal of the damaged structures, and sites the potential future cost should the carports fail again as an additional barrier to financial feasibility to construct and maintain carports.
2) Asserts that all requirements of the Use Permit were met and the Planning Commission did not have sufficient evidence to deny the permit.
3) Expresses the need to apply Density Bonus Law incentives that apply to housing developments seeking a density bonus for affordable housing in order to preserve existing affordable housing, siting requirements of California Government Code Section 8899.50(b)(1).
Staff Response:
To support the applications for the Use Permits, the applicant provided the following documentation of the need for a reduction in covered parking standards:
Item # 6.
Images of carport damage and failures at each of the three properties A proposal by Element 26 Construction to replace the carports like-for-like for a total of $261,600 at Glenbrook Apartments, $348,800 at Oak Ridge Apartments, and $436,000 at Cedar Park Apartments
Evidence of the insurance claims and payouts for each property. After a $25,000 deductible for each property, the applicant received $128,103.03 for Glenbrook Apartments, $177,449.76 for Oak Ridge Apartments, and $178,149.91 for Cedar Park Apartments Invoices for the demolition of all carports at each of the three properties totaling $39,000 for Glenbrook Apartments, $48,000 for Oak Ridge Apartments, and $60,000 for Cedar Park Apartments,
Site plans of the original approval of each property showing 56 carports at Glenbrook Apartments, 67 at Oak Ridge Apartments, and 81 at Cedar Park Apartments. CalHFA and CTCAC regulatory agreements demonstrating affordability restrictions on each property
Operating cost details
Following the May 21, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant researched potential cost savings for installation of solar carports, at the request of the Planning Commissioner. In response to this, the following information was provided for the June 18, 2024 meeting:
Updated operating cost details
A narrative of preliminary results based on research into solar carport financial feasibility Section 17.36.080 of the Grass Valley Municipal Code states that the burden of proof to demonstrate a need for a reduction in parking requirements is on the applicant to provide sufficient quantitative evidence for the review authority to make a determination. The Planning Commission acknowledged the hardship of installing and maintaining carports, while also noting the loss of an amenity advertised to residents.
Council Goals/Objectives: A City Council decision on an appeal of a Planning Commission decision supports the 2022 Strategic Plan Update, Goal #5: The City of Grass Valley strives to exemplify an innovative, efficient, effective, open and collaborative city government.

Item # 6.
Attachment “A”
4880-0245-8061, v. 3
1 Cascade Housing Association (“CHA”) owns three affordable housing developments in the City of Grass Valley: 210 Sutton Way, 265 Sutton Way, and 228 Sutton Way (the “Properties”).
Pursuant to Chapter 17.91 of the City’s Development Code, CHA appeals the Planning Commission’s June 18, 2024, denial of use permits that would have provided CHA with an exception to the City’s covered parking standards contained in Section 17.36.040, Table 3-3 of the Municipal Code.
As staff explained on June 18, 2024, numerous covered carports on the Properties experienced catastrophic failures during a severe winter storm in February 2023, and many more showed signs of failure. Although CHA received some insurance proceeds from its carriers, CHA was required to expend a significant amount of those funds to simply demolish and remove the damaged carports from the Properties in early 2023.
Until the February 2023 storm, these three Properties and two other federal/state assisted multi-family developments were the only affordable housing projects in the City that featured covered parking. Although 17.36.040(N), Table 3-3 of the City’s Municipal Code generally requires covered parking spaces for market rate units, under California Density Bonus Law, Government Code, § 65915, et seq., affordable housing projects have the ability to request waivers from parking standards, including covered parking. This waiver opportunity was not available to CHA at the time the project was first developed, as those provisions of the Density Bonus Law were not in effect, as explained by staff.
A. Forcing CHA to Reconstruct the Carports Is Financially Infeasible, and Would Undermine the Viability of the Capability of the Properties to Provide Affordable Housing for the City’s Residents
CHA is very concerned about the requirement that it reinstall the carports. CHA has long known that the carports are financially infeasible, and that any such requirement would divert much-needed funds from upgrades required to modernize the Properties. At the request of the Planning Commission, CHA performed extensive research and outreach to potential funding sources. Unfortunately, those efforts did not bear fruit, and simply confirmed the construction of carports would be financially infeasible.
Since the Planning Commission meeting, CHA is in the process of renewing property insurance policies for all three Properties. Collectively insurance premiums have increased by 67% over last year, one property in particular has increased 107% with a $500,000 deductible for weight of snow and ice. In the event CHA reconstructs the carports and the carports fail again (due to, inter alia, a major snow event), the property will be required to pay the deductible of $500,000 in order to replace the carports for a third time to conform with the City’s Municipal Code. Premiums and deductibles of this magnitude would not merely result in deferring capital expenditures for modernization; they would threaten the viability of the Properties as affordable housing developments. In other words, the carports are not just financially infeasible—their reinstallation would pose a significant liability for CHA and undermine its effort to provide affordable housing to the City’s residents.
Item # 6.
Attachment “A”
4880-0245-8061, v. 3
2 As a result of the foregoing, coupled with the fact that nearly all of the other affordable housing developments in the City lack carports, it would be counterproductive to require CHA to divert its funding to reinstall the carports.
B. The City Has a Duty to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing The purpose of the Use Permits is to accommodate the continuing viability of affordable housing in the City. Reversing the Planning Commission will demonstrate the City is meeting its obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing consistent with State and Federal law.
Specifically, the City has the duty to “administer its programs and activities relating to housing and community development in a manner to affirmatively further fair housing, and take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.” (Govt. Code, § 8899.50, subd. (b)(1) [emphasis added].) As recognized by City Staff, if the Properties were new development, there is no dispute that they would be entitled to request a waiver from the covered parking requirement. And the Use Permits merely seek an approval that would maintain the continuing viability of the Properties as affordable housing, and the Density Bonus Law specifically allows the City to afford “additional allowance or incentives” to “developers” of affordable housing projects. (Govt. Code, § 65915.7.) Further, the Planning Commission specifically recognized that there were far better uses for CHA’s limited funds, and that, if the City “stick[s] to the letter of the law” (i.e., the Municipal Code’s covered carport requirement), the City would be undermining access to affordable housing.
Thus, by mandating a financially infeasible requirement that under similar circumstances would not be required, the denial of the Use Permits would result in the City failing to meet its obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing.
C. The Use Permits Meet Each Element Required Under the Municipal Code
The Planning Commission’s decision should also be overturned because the Projects meet all of the requirements for the issuance of a Use Permit under Section 17.72.060 of the Municipal Code.
First, the proposed use “is consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan.”
Second, the “proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of this development code and the Municipal Code.” The affordable housing developments, each comply with the zoning and the other provisions of the development code and the municipal code. CHA is solely seeking a waiver of one minor code requirement that would admittedly be allowed if this were new development.
Third, the “design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.” The affordable housing
Item # 6.
Attachment “A”
4880-0245-8061, v. 3
3 developments are well-maintain developments in a residential zoning district. And what CHA is seeking is identical to the benefits other affordable housing projects in the vicinity enjoy.
Fourth, the “site is physically suitable” for the site and “would not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or welfare, or be materially injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.” In fact, the site has been without covered carports since February 2023 without any such concerns.
Although CHA was not required to seek a variance or a minor variance, CHA also notes that this Project would have also met the standards under Section 17.72.070 of the Municipal Code.
That provision allows for a variance (i) due to “special circumstances applicable to the property,” and (ii) where “strict application of the development standards” would deny “the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity . . . .” Here, there are numerous special circumstances, including the destruction caused by the unusually strong snowstorms in February 2023, and the fact that the relevant portions of the Density Bonus Law were not in place at the time the Project was constructed. And the strict application of the zoning code would deny CHA the benefits available to every other affordable housing development in Grass Valley with one sole exception.
D. The Planning Commission Relied Upon Impermissible Factors to Deny the Use Permit
Throughout the Planning Commission meeting, there were numerous comments raised about needing a “level playing field,” “everybody is in the same boat,” and “following the rules on the books” that were there to begin with. These comments suggest the Properties were being evaluated against market rate housing as opposed to other affordable housing developments. This is an unfair comparison, given that all but two of the federal/state assisted affordable housing developments in the City lack covered carports.
A reversal of the Planning Commission would also allow the City to comply with the Planning and Zoning Law and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), under which it is unlawful to discriminate against development intended for lower income persons. (Martinez v.
City of Clovis (2023) 90 Cal.App.5th 193.) Comparing an affordable housing development run by a non-profit that is required to keep lease rates far below market rates with a market rate housing development is exactly the type of comparison that perpetuates or could predictably result in a disparate impact on lower income persons. This is particularly true given that such a requirement would be financially infeasible for CHA.
E. The City Should Apply the Density Bonus Law to the Use Permits Throughout the public hearing, the City referred to the concessions in the Density Bonus Law as only applying to new development. However, the definitions of “housing development” and “housing development project” are not specifically limited to undeveloped properties, and the Use Permits at issue here support, and are necessary for the ongoing viability of, a “housing development project.” And, in any event, the Density Bonus Law specifically allows the City to
Item # 6.
Attachment “A”
4880-0245-8061, v. 3
4 afford “additional allowance or incentives” to “developers” of affordable housing projects. (Govt.
Code, § 65915.7.)
F. The Planning Commission’s Denial Findings Were Not Supported By Substantial Evidence
The Planning Commission found there was insufficient evidence to prove a variance to zero covered parking. This finding is not supported by substantial evidence. As demonstrated in the Staff Report for the June 18, 2024, meeting, CHA went above and beyond to explore feasible alternatives to provide covered parking with its remaining funds. Conversely, no evidence was presented to suggest the provision of additional covered carports would be feasible. As a result, the Planning Commission’s finding was not supported by substantial evidence.

BACKGROUND:
Item # 6.
Applications 24PLN-08, 24PLN-09, 24PLN-10 Planning Commission May 21, 2024
2 210 Sutton Way (Cedar Park Apartments): The existing 81-unit multifamily apartment complex was built in 2004, according to Nevada County Assessor’s Office Records. The units include 80 deed-restricted low-income units, comprised of 36 two-bedroom units, 32 threebedroom units, and 12 four-bedroom units. The facility also includes one two-bedroom manager’s unit. The complex encompasses 13 residential structures, one community building, and a play area in the center of the complex. The project was approved with 193 parking spaces, 81 of which were covered by freestanding carports to comply with parking standards. 228 Sutton Way (Oak Ridge Apartments): The existing 80-unit multifamily apartment complex was built in 1998, according to City records. The units include 79 deed-restricted very low-income units, comprised of 24 two-bedroom units, 31 three-bedroom units, and 24 fourbedroom units. The facility also includes one three-bedroom manager’s unit. The complex encompasses 14 residential structures and one community building. The project was approved with 144 parking spaces, 67 of which were covered by freestanding carports to comply with parking standards.
265 Sutton Way (Glenbrook Apartments): The existing 52-unit multifamily apartment complex was built in 2005, according to City records. The units include 51 deed-restricted lowincome units, comprised of 23 two-bedroom units and 28 three-bedroom units. The facility also includes one two-bedroom manager’s unit. The complex encompasses 7 residential structures and one community building. The project was approved with 110 parking spaces, 56 of which were covered by freestanding carports to comply with parking standards.
In February 2023, a winter storm caused several of the carports to collapse under the snow load at each of the three complexes, and many more began to show signs of failure (Attachment 3). Following this damage, the applicant filed an insurance claim with Farmers Insurance and received $178,149.91 for the damage to the carports at Cedar Park Apartments, $177,499.76 for Oak Ridge Apartments, and $128,103.06 for Glenbrook Apartments (Attachment 5). The removal of all carports by Element 26 Contracting cost $60,000 for Cedar Park Apartments, $48,000 for Oak Ridge Apartments, and $39,000 for Glenbrook Apartments according to invoices from the contractor (Attachment 6). These demolition costs left approximately $118,000, $129,500, and $$89,000 remaining of the claim payouts for each complex, respectively.
At the time of demolition, the applicant did not pull a Demolition Permit from the City for the removal of the carports. However, in March 2023, a Building Permit application was submitted to the City to add to and update the lighting in each complex. City staff became aware of the need for a Demolition Permit and replacement of the removed carports and informed the applicant. The applicant immediately applied for and received a retroactive Demolition Permit after providing the required documentation.
PROJECT PROPOSAL:
The Use Permit applications are for an exception to the covered parking requirement for multifamily housing established in Section 17.36.040, Table 3-3 of the Grass Valley Municipal Code, seeking to allow all parking at 210, 228, and 265 Sutton Way apartment complexes to be uncovered. The parking requirements for multifamily housing with two or more units are as follows:
• Studio and 1-bedroom units: 1 covered space per unit plus 1 space for each 5 units for guest parking
Item # 6.
Applications 24PLN-08, 24PLN-09, 24PLN-10 Planning Commission May 21, 2024
3 • 2-bedroom and larger units: 2 covered space per unit plus 1 space for each 5 units for guest parking
Section 17.36.080.B of the Municipal Code allows for a reduction in the required parking spaces through a use permit or minor use permit (depending on the amount of reduction requested) based on quantitative information provided by the applicant that documents the need for fewer spaces. In this case, the applicant is not seeking a reduction in the total number of spaces, but a reduction in the number of covered spaces to a degree that requires a Use Permit.
While a separate application was filed for each property, these Use Permits are presented as one item for consideration as they are the same request by the same owner for neighboring properties.
According to a December 2023 quote from Element 26 Contracting, the cost to replace the carports at each of the three apartment complexes would be $436,000 for Cedar Park Apartments (210 Sutton Way), $348,800 for Oak Ridge Apartments (228 Sutton Way), and $261,600 for Glenbrook Apartments (265 Sutton Way). In comparison, as stated previously, the remaining balance from the claim payouts for each complex is approximately $118,000 for Cedar Park Apartments, $129,500 for Oak Ridge Apartments, and $89,000 for Glenbrook Apartments.
Cascade Housing Association is an affordable housing provider that has been operating the deed-restricted units at Cedar Park Apartments, Oak Ridge Apartments, and Glenbrook Apartments since their respective completion dates. As deed-restricted complexes, the operator cannot increase rents to cover the costs in the same manner a for-profit operator might. Further, the State of California passed Senate Bill 721 in 2018, which requires additional inspections, and possible improvements, for exterior elevated elements (i.e., decks, balconies, stairways) on all buildings with three or more multifamily dwellings by January 1, 2025. The applicant expressed to staff that the financial burden of replacing the carports exceeds the available funding for operation while also meeting State requirements and providing adequate lighting throughout the complex, and therefore requests an exception to covered parking requirements.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING:
General Plan: The Urban High Density (UHD) General Plan designation is intended to accommodate town house or row house styles, higher density apartments, and condominiums without distinction as to owner- or renter-occupancy.
Zoning: The Multiple Family Residential (R-3) zone is applied to areas of the city that are appropriate for a variety of higher density housing types, located in proximity to parks, schools, and public services. The R-3 zone is consistent with and implements the Urban High Density (UHD) designation of the General Plan. Chapter 17.36 outlines the parking requirements for multifamily housing units, as described previously in this staff report.
Additionally, Section 17.36.080 of the Development Code requires the review authority to make a finding that the applicant has provided sufficient documentation for the need for a reduction in parking standards. This finding is contained in the Findings section below.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING:
Item # 6.
Applications 24PLN-08, 24PLN-09, 24PLN-10 Planning Commission May 21, 2024
4 210 Sutton Way (Cedar Park Apartments): The subject site is located on the west side of Sutton Way north of the Dorsey Drive intersection. The site was developed in 2004 with the Cedar Park Apartments, which includes 13 residential structures, one community structure, and a park. There are no waterbodies or streams located on the property. 228 Sutton Way (Oak Ridge Apartments): The subject site is located on the east side of Sutton Way north of the Dorsey Drive intersection. The site was developed in 1998 with the Oak Ridge Apartments, which includes 14 residential structures and one community structure.
There are no waterbodies or streams located on the property. 265 Sutton Way (Glenbrook Apartments): The subject site is located on Sutton Way south of the Plaza Drive intersection. The site was developed in 2005 with the Glenbrook Apartments, which includes 7 residential structures and one community structure. There are no waterbodies or streams located on the property.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The proposed projects are exempt from CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15601(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). This section states that an “activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.” There is no possibility that the proposed exception from the covered parking requirement will result in a physical change to the environment. Each property is fully developed with residential structures, community structures, and paved parking areas. Currently, there are no carports on the sites. The proposal would not result in any development and, therefore, would not disturb the physical environment. Any future development would be subject to review under Chapter 17.72 of the Grass Valley Municipal Code and CEQA. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
FINDINGS:
The approval of Use Permits for an exception to the multifamily covered parking requirement at 210, 228, and 265 Sutton Way shall first require the review authority to make the following findings:
1. The City received a complete application for Use Permit Applications 24PLN-08, 24PLN09, and 24PLN-10.
2. The Planning Commission reviewed the projects in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and concluded that the projects qualify for Common Sense Exemptions in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and CEQA Guidelines Section 15601(b)(3).
3. A reduction in parking standards, as allowed by Section 17.36.070 of the Grass Valley Municipal Code, may include a reduction in the number of covered parking spaces.
4. The applicant has provided sufficient quantitative information, pursuant to Section
17.36.070, to document a need for a reduction/elimination of the covered parking standard.

Below is the Universal Planning Application form and instructions for submitting a complete planning application. In addition to the Universal Planning Application form, a project specific checklist shall be submitted. All forms and submittal requirements must be completely filled out and submitted with any necessary supporting information.
Upon receipt of the completed forms, site plan/maps, and filing fees, the Community Development Department will determine the completeness of the application. This review will be completed as soon as possible, but within thirty (30) days of the submittal of the application. If the application is determined to be complete, the City will begin environmental review, circulate the project for review by agencies and staff, and then schedule the application for a hearing before the Planning Commission.
If sufficient information has not been submitted to adequately process your application, you will receive a notice that your application is incomplete along with instructions on how to complete the application. Once the City receives the additional information or revised application, the thirty (30) day review period will begin again.
Since the information contained in your application is used to evaluate the project and in the preparation of the staff report, it is important that you provide complete and accurate information.
Please review and respond to each question. If a response is not applicable, N/A should be used in the space provided. Failure to provide adequate information could delay the processing of your application.
Additional information may be obtained at www.cityofgrassvalley.com regarding the 2020 General Plan and Zoning. You may also contact the Community Development Department for assistance.
ADVISORY RE: FISH AND GAME FEE REQUIREMENT
Permit applicants are advised that pursuant to Section 711.4 of the Fish and Game Code a fee of $3,539.25 for an Environmental Impact Report and $2,548.00 for a Negative Declaration* shall be paid to the County Recorder at the time of recording the Notice of Determination for this project. This fee is required for Notices of Determination recorded after January 1, 1991. A Notice of Determination cannot be filed and any approval of the project shall not be operative, vested, or final until the required fee is paid. This shall mean that building, public works and other development permits cannot be approved until this fee is paid. These fees are accurate at the time of printing, but increase the subsequent January 1 st of each year.
This fee is not a Grass Valley fee; it is required to be collected by the County pursuant to State law for transmission to the Department of Fish and Game. This fee was enacted by the State Legislature in September 1990, to be effective January 1, 1991. *If the City finds that the project will not have an impact on wildlife resources, through a De Minimus Impact Finding, the City will issue certificate of fee exemption.
Therefore, this fee will not be required to be paid at the time an applicant files the Notice of Determination with the County Recorder. The County's posting and filing fees will still be required.

Below is the Universal Planning Application form and instructions for submitting a complete planning application. In addition to the Universal Planning Application form, a project specific checklist shall be submitted. All forms and submittal requirements must be completely filled out and submitted with any necessary supporting information.
Upon receipt of the completed forms, site plan/maps, and filing fees, the Community Development Department will determine the completeness of the application. This review will be completed as soon as possible, but within thirty (30) days of the submittal of the application. If the application is determined to be complete, the City will begin environmental review, circulate the project for review by agencies and staff, and then schedule the application for a hearing before the Planning Commission.
If sufficient information has not been submitted to adequately process your application, you will receive a notice that your application is incomplete along with instructions on how to complete the application. Once the City receives the additional information or revised application, the thirty (30) day review period will begin again.
Since the information contained in your application is used to evaluate the project and in the preparation of the staff report, it is important that you provide complete and accurate information.
Please review and respond to each question. If a response is not applicable, N/A should be used in the space provided. Failure to provide adequate information could delay the processing of your application.

ADVISORY RE: FISH AND GAME FEE REQUIREMENT
Permit applicants are advised that pursuant to Section 711.4 of the Fish and Game Code a fee of $3,539.25 for an Environmental Impact Report and $2,548.00 for a Negative Declaration* shall be paid to the County Recorder at the time of recording the Notice of Determination for this project. This fee is required for Notices of Determination recorded after January 1, 1991. A Notice of Determination cannot be filed and any approval of the project shall not be operative, vested, or final until the required fee is paid. This shall mean that building, public works and other development permits cannot be approved until this fee is paid. These fees are accurate at the time of printing, but increase the subsequent January 1 st of each year.
This fee is not a Grass Valley fee; it is required to be collected by the County pursuant to State law for transmission to the Department of Fish and Game. This fee was enacted by the State Legislature in September 1990, to be effective January 1, 1991. *If the City finds that the project will not have an impact on wildlife resources, through a De Minimus Impact Finding, the City will issue certificate of fee exemption.
Therefore, this fee will not be required to be paid at the time an applicant files the Notice of Determination with the County Recorder. The County's posting and filing fees will still be required.
