POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CONDUCT AND DECORUM AT COUNCIL MEETINGS (Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-44, adopted 04-16-07, revised 02-18-2020) The City Council and staff welcomes and encourages civic participation and debate on issues. The Council values the public’s opinion and in every Council meeting invite and encourages the public to address the Council on any matter of interest. The Council adopted these policies and procedures for appropriate conduct and decorum at Council meetings and establish guidance for public participation during Council meetings.

These policies will foster and provide greater clarity to preserve the intent of open government and maintain a positive environment for public input and City Council decision-making.

1.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – IN GENERAL

1.1 The presiding officer is responsible for the maintenance of order and decorum at all times.

1.2 The presiding officer shall determine all points of order subject to the right of any Council member to appeal to the City Council by majority vote. If any appeal is taken, the question shall be “Shall the decision of the presiding officer be sustained” in which event a majority vote of the Council shall govern and conclusively determine such question of order.

1.3 All Council members, staff members and members of the public should speak respectfully and avoid the use of profanity, vulgarity and slanderous comments. Recognizing that the First Amendment precludes the City Council form prohibiting speakers from speaking based upon the content of their speech, the presiding officer shall use their best efforts, short of enforcement action, to remind and encourage all participating in the meeting to keep their speech respectful towards others and within bounds appropriate for children and persons of sensitivity toward course language as a courtesy to others present or otherwise viewing Council meetings.

2.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – COUNCIL MEMBERS

2.1 Manner of Speaking.

Any Council member desiring to speak shall first address the presiding officer. Upon recognition by the presiding officer, the Council member shall speak only to the question under debate.

2.1(a) Questioning Staff.

A Council member desiring to question the staff should address his question to the City Manager, or, in appropriate cases, the City Clerk or City Attorney, who shall be entitled either to answer the inquiry or to designate some staff member for that purpose. Such a designation may be made at the time of any staff presentation or on the agenda listing for the item.

2.1(b) Interruptions.

Once recognized, a Council member shall not be interrupted while speaking unless called to order by the presiding officer; unless a point of order is raised by another Council member, or unless the speaker chooses to yield to questions from another Council member.

3.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – STAFF

3.1 City Manager Responsibilities
The City Manager is responsible for ensuring that members of the administrative staff observe the rules of decorum and order set forth in this Policy.

3.2 Addressing the City Council
Any administrative staff member desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member or member of the public. Administrative staff members shall accord the utmost courtesy to the City Council, other administrative staff members and the public.

4.0 DECORUM AND ORDER – MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

4.1 Addressing the City Council
Any member of the public desiring to address the City Council or members of the public shall first be recognized by the presiding officer at the appropriate place on the agenda. All remarks shall be addressed to the presiding officer and not to any individual Council Member, City Manager, City Attorney or member of the administrative staff or member of the public.

4.2 Time Limitation for Addressing the City Council
Public comment when addressing the City Council shall be generally limited to three (3) minutes per speaker. Depending on the extent of the agenda and the number of persons desiring to speak on an issue, the presiding officer may, at the beginning of the hearing, set a different time limit for each speaker. Any person may speak for a longer period of time upon approval from the presiding officer, when deemed necessary, for instance when a person is speaking on behalf of a group or has a graphic or slide presentation requiring more time.

4.3 Failure to Yield, Disruptions
Any person who refuses to relinquish the floor after their allotted time or while attending the City Council meeting engages in conduct or speech which disrupts the business of the meeting shall be brought to order and/or removed from the room if the sergeant-at-arms is so directed by the presiding officer.

Disruptive remarks from the audience, stamping of feet, clapping, whistles, yells and similar demonstrations shall not be permitted by the presiding officer who may direct the sergeant-at-arms to remove such offenders from the room.

4.4 Prosecution
Aggravated cases shall be prosecuted on appropriate complaint signed by the presiding officer.

5.0 ENFORCEMENT OF DECORUM

5.1 The Chief of Police or his designee shall be the ex-officio sergeant-at-arms of the City Council. The sergeant-at-arms shall carry out all legal and valid orders and instructions given by the presiding officer for the purpose of maintaining order and decorum in the Council Chamber. Upon instructions from the presiding officer, it shall be the duty of the sergeant-at-arms to remove any disorderly person from the Council Chambers or place the disorderly person under arrest or both.

5.2 As set forth in Government Code Section 54957.9, in the event that any meeting is willfully interrupted by a person or group of persons so as to render the orderly conduct of such meeting unfeasible or impedes the ability of the Council to hold the meeting, and order cannot be restored by the removal of individuals who are willfully interrupting the meeting, the presiding officer may order the meeting room cleared and continue in session. Only matters appearing on the agenda may be considered in such a session. Duly accredited representatives of the press or other news media, except those participating in the disturbance, shall be allowed to attend any session held pursuant to this Section. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City Council from establishing a procedure for readmitting an individual or individuals not responsible for willfully disturbing the orderly conduct of the meeting.

Agenda Item No. 3

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 10, 2023 FROM: Matthew Bronson City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lorena Zarate, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Master Fee Schedule Update

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution updating the Citywide Master Fee Schedule approving cost increases based on the Consumer Price Index and other changes to become effective July 1, 2023.

BACKGROUND
The Citywide Master Fee Schedule (Schedule) summarizes all fees the City charges for various services and permits, such as building permits and recreational classes. This schedule ensures transparency and consistency in the fees charged for services to provide cost-recovery to the General Fund. Fees charged other than licensing or rental of City property in the City’s proprietary capacity are developed based on the cost to the City to provide the service or on the impact the activity has on the City or its property. Adjusting the fees in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) ensures sufficient cost-recovery for the City. The adjustment requested for the Schedule is based on the CPI for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA which had an increase of 7.5% for the year ending on December 31, 2022. For historical reference, the Master Fee Schedule was last increased by a CPI of 3.8%. The CPI increase over the past year was significantly higher compared to historical trends given cost factors in the overall economy.

Staff would note that water and sewer rates were previously approved by Council for the five-year period beginning July 2021 with an increase of 3% in the next year for water rates and 2% for sewer rates. Additionally, the City has some fees which are pass-thru fees from other agencies and only updated when the pass-thru agencies change their fees. One such agency is the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District which provides wastewater treatment to Grover Beach residents and businesses. The Sanitation District fees were last increased effective July 1, 2019, with no other changes to date.

With regards to Public Works fees, staff is proposing to increase the encroachment permit fee from $169 to $309 based on the cost of average time spent to review, approve, inspect, and close out a permit. In addition, staff is recommending an increase to the encroachment permit deposit fee amount from $1,000 to $2,000 based on costs of staff time. Lastly with regards to Parks and Recreation fees, staff is recommending a 5% increase for fees charged by the Parks and Recreation Department, which are shown on pages 18-22 of Exhibit A. This is based on current market demand and local agency rates in order to stay competitive. Staff believes that the CPI of

7.5% used to increase other rates in the Schedule was too excessive for this category of fees compared to neighboring cities.

Staff Report: Annual Master Fee Schedule Update Page 2
April 10, 2023

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the General Fund is estimated to be an increase between $40,000 and $45,000 depending upon the level of activity for the related services during FY 2023-24. The estimated revenue increase to the Water Fund is approximately $106,000 and the Wastewater Fund will be approximately $21,000. Estimates for other funds are expected to be minimal.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Adopt a Resolution updating the fee increases to the Master Fee Schedule; or

2. Do not adopt the Resolution and provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

Attachments

1. Resolution updating the Master Fee Schedule, including Exhibit A – FY 2023-24 Master Fee Schedule.

RESOLUTION NO. 23-

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GROVER BEACH,

CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE

WHEREAS, adjustments to certain current fees will be based on CPI of 7.5% for Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA as of year ended December 31, 2022 and other cost changes in certain areas to achieve full cost recovery for City services; and WHEREAS, Parks & Recreation fees will be increased by 5% as a way to stay competitive with other agencies, and
WHEREAS, Public Works fees associated with encroachment permits and encroachment deposits will be increased to $309 and $2,000, respectively, based on the cost of average time spent by staff to review, approve, inspect, and close out a permit.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GROVER BEACH:

NOW, THERFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Grover Beach, California:

BACKGROUND
On December 13, 2021, the City Council approved the Cleaver & Clark Commons Development Application 21-20 for a Use Permit, Development Permit and Lot Merger and related Disposition and Development Agreement for a 53-unit affordable housing project at 1206 West Grand Avenue.

The project applicant was People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) and the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO).

The project consisted of two, three-story buildings totaling approximately 50,604 square feet and a maximum building height of 43 feet. The project includes the following:
• 53 multi-family units: 52 affordable housing units and one onsite property manager unit. • 24 one-bedroom, 15 two-bedroom, and 14 three-bedroom apartments. • On-site laundry facilities located on the ground floor of Building “B”. • Common rooms within Building ‘A’ and ‘B’ with kitchen space, as well as space for resident services and events.
• 1,830 square-feet of outdoor common area space that includes a barbeque area, benches, picnic tables, and a play area for use by residents.
• 63 parking spaces and bicycle racks.

Staff Report: Cleaver & Clark Commons Status Update & DIF Deferral Request Page 2 April 10, 2023
Since approval, PSHH and HASLO retained a new design team who recommended minor modifications to the project design resulting in minor modifications and the protection of the 100- year-old Coast live oak tree at the project. The design maintains the modern architectural style consistent with the approved project and although approved prior to the City’s adoption of Objective Design Standards, the modifications as proposed meet these new standards. All other details of the project, as approved and described above, remain unchanged. PSHH and HASLO submitted for building permits in December 2022 and are currently in the second round of plan check review.

Staff is processing this review in a timely manner with an expectation of issuing the permit to the PSHH/HASLO team by fall 2023 so that construction may begin in January 2024.

Development Impact Fee Deferral Request
Development Impact Fees, or DIFs, are imposed as a condition of approval on all development projects for which a building permit is issued. They are established to fund the expansion of infrastructure to support new housing, including local services such as schools, parks, and transportation infrastructure. Typically, the City has collected these fees or charges for public improvements on non-residential development upon building permit issuance. However, the City is statutorily required to defer development impact fees for residential development to the final inspection or issuance of Certificate of Occupancy but may require the developer to enter into a contract for deferral of DIFs.
• Government Code Section 660071 requires any local agency that imposes any fees or charges on a residential development for the construction of public improvements to not require payment until the date of final inspection or the date the Certificate of Occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first. However, a local agency may require payment of those fees or charges at an earlier time if an account has been established for the public improvements wherein funds have been appropriated and the local agency has a proposed construction schedule or plan, or if the agency seeks reimbursement for prior expenditures; and • Government Code Section 66007 (b) (1) precludes a local agency from expediting the payment of fees prior to final inspection or issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy if the project is owned by a nonprofit housing developer in which 49 percent of the total units in the project are reserved for lower income households.
• GBMC Article X, Chapter 13, Section 101306 and Government Code Section 66007 (c)(1) Grants the Community Development Director authority to execute a contract with the City to pay the deferred impact fees at final inspection and/or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the project.

Along with their submittal of an application for building permits, PSHH and HASLO continue to seek the necessary funds for the development project. In February 2023, through the California Multifamily Super NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability), the project was awarded approximately $10 million. The next major funding application for the project will seek to secure low-income tax credits through the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC). Together, these funds will support the overall fees associated with permitting and construction; and, once constructed, the site-based residential services to the project’s residents.

As PSHH and HASLO await award of the additional funds, they have requested the City defer $535,410.72 in fees (Attachment 2) to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or Final Inspection.

Their request includes the South County Sanitation District Fee which is not a DIF eligible for 1 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=66007.&lawCode=GOV Staff Report: Cleaver & Clark Commons Status Update & DIF Deferral Request Page 3 April 10, 2023
deferral by the City. As such, Attachment 1 – Exhibit “A” reflects the appropriate DIFs and the corrected deferral amount of $444,434.72. Deferral will provide additional time to obtain grant funding to ensure the project will be 100% affordable. As described above, impact fees related to the construction of public improvements or facilities is entitled to a deferral and this authority is granted to the local agency for consideration and approval with implementation through execution of a contract between PSHH, HASLO, and the City.

Staff is proposing the deferred fees be paid in full at the time the first unit has Final Inspection or issuance of Certificate of Occupancy Permit, whichever comes first. Deferral of fees will not affect the public health, safety or general welfare of the community and deferral will have no long-term fiscal impact because these fees for capital costs of public facilities will be fully paid prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. For these reasons, staff supports the request to defer the DIFs and allow PSHH and HASLO to provide payment prior to Certificate of Occupancy and is requesting authority from the Council in executing an agreement for this deferral.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the DIF deferral has no long-term fiscal impact to the City as the fees will ultimately be paid to the City. Following execution of the contract (Attachment 1), the DIF would be required to be paid in full prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or Final Inspection of the first unit, whichever comes first.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Direct the Community Development Director to execute an agreement with PSHH and HASLO, to defer the Development Impact Fees of $444,434.72 to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or Final Inspection, whichever occurs first, and condition any issuance of building permits to require the execution of the DIF agreement consistent with Government Code Section 66007; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

RE: Cleaver & Clark Commons
Request for Deferral of Impact Fees
Dear Ms. Martin,
People’s Self-Help Housing’s (PSHH) and the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo’s (HASLO) would like to thank the City for their continued support of our Cleaver & Clark Commons project.

Our team submitted our first round of plans for plan check on December 21st and we are currently working to provide a timely response to the City’s first round of comments by end of March 2023.

Our current timeline is working towards being permit ready by this Fall in order to be able to begin construction by January 2024.

PSHH and HASLO respectfully request a deferral of the City of Grover Beach’s impact fees imposed on the project in an estimated amount up to $535,410.94. Table 1 and Table 2 follow this letter and provide a breakdown of fees as estimated and provided by City staff in March and December of 2022. Our Cleaver & Clark Commons project will be 100% affordable to households earning less than 60% area median income. Impact fees related to the construction of public improvements or facilities are entitled to fee deferral pursuant to California Government Code Section 66007. With this in mind, we ask for a deferral payment of the impact fees identified in Table 1 and 2 to Certificate of Occupancy currently planned for January 2026.

Once again, we thank the City of Grover Beach for their support of this important project! We are excited to continue working together to bring this new, beautiful, and innovative affordable housing to the City. If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or 805-548-2343.

Sincerely,
Dalia Flores

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council DATE: April 10, 2023 FROM: Matthew Bronson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Greg Ray, Public Works Director/City Engineer Erin Wiggin, CIP Manager
SUBJECT: Direction for Final Design for Ramona Garden Park Project (CIP 1259) Phases 1 and 2 and Authorize Application for Community Development Block Grant

RECOMMENDATION
Receive an update on the design including input from the Parks, Recreation, and Beautification Commission; and provide direction for the final design of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Ramona Garden Park CIP 1259; and authorize staff to apply for a Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $3 million for the project.

BACKGROUND
Ramona Garden Park is a two-acre park bounded by 9th and 10th streets to the west and the east and Ramona Avenue and Brighton Avenue to the south and north. It is a multi-use facility that includes the Community Center, exterior public restrooms, an open plaza area, drought tolerant landscaping, a water features and a large open turf area that makes up most of the park area.

Ramona Garden Park is the focal point for many events in Grover Beach such as the Stone Soup Music Festival, Summer Concert Series, Halloween activities, City tree lighting ceremony and Santa’s Workshop.

In 2020, the Council adopted the Ramona Garden Park Master Plan (shown in Attachment 1).

This Master Plan provides a high-level “road map” for the City to utilize in planning and reconstructing the park. The Master Plan also assists with recommended phasing of the construction as funding permits. Refer to Attachment 2 for the Phasing Diagram. In 2022, the Council awarded the park design to Wallace Group to produce construction documents.

As part of the design process, staff sought input from the Parks, Recreation, and Beautification Commission (PRBC) and the Council for the playground (Phase 1 of the planned park construction) at a joint meeting in November 2022. At the March 30, 2023 Special Meeting, the PRBC received a presentation on the preliminary design of Phase 2 of the Master Plan, which includes the amphitheater, concert stage and plaza area. The preliminary cost estimate for Phase 2 is $1.7 million, however this estimate is from 2020 and costs have increased since then. The PRBC provided recommendations for elements of the Phase 1 playground design (restrooms) and on elements of the Phase 2 (amphitheater and band shell) for the Council’s consideration.

Staff is now seeking Council’s direction on these elements of Phase 1 and Phase 2 and the final design will be completed based on the selected concepts. The following page includes additional information about these design elements. Staff would note that the draft five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) presented to the Council on March 27 recommends deferring funding Staff Report: Ramona Garden Park Design (CIP 1259) Page 3 April 10, 2023
for construction of park improvements until FY 2025-26 given other General Fund funding needs over the next two years. However, staff is requesting design direction at this time in order to finalize the design work this fiscal year and position the City for potential grant funding for construction.

Playground – At the joint workshop with Council and the PRBC, the Play and Park Option was selected with modifications such as the addition of swings, changing the color scheme and enhancing the play elements for the 2-5 age group. In February, staff shared the updated playground design with the PRBC. The PRBC has recommended that Council approve the design as shown in Attachment 1. Staff supports this recommendation and is recommending approval by Council.

Restrooms near Playground – The cost for the restrooms is approximately $250,000-$300,000 for a three-person restroom based on the selected finishes. A four-person restroom is approximately $300,000-$325,000. Staff is seeking input on the style and capacity as shown in Attachment 4. Options identified include:

1. Shed style roof

2. Gable style roof

3. Shed style roof with wood cladding
The PRBC recommended proceeding with a three-person restroom but did not provide specific input regarding the architectural style and features. Staff supports the PRBC recommendation for a three-person facility and recommends the Council approve an option that is consistent with the selected bandshell. Should Council select Option 3 for the bandshell (discussed below), staff would recommend the restroom with the shed style roof and wood cladding.

Amphitheater - The master plan shows an amphitheater composed of concrete seat walls.

Options identified by staff and the design consultant are shown in Attachment 2 and are listed below with expected cost impacts:

1. Sloped lawn – Remove the existing water feature and maintain a sloped lawn condition similar to what exists today. This could reduce costs by approximately $70,000.

2. Small block wall seating area – provide a small block wall seating area only at the front; this could reduce costs by approximately $30,000.

3. Concrete seat walls with grass seating as shown in master plan; included in cost estimate.

The PRBC recommended that Council proceed with the concrete seat walls as shown in the master plan. Staff supports this recommendation and is recommending approval by Council.

Bandshell – The master plan includes a bandshell with the intent to use the side at the plaza for smaller events. The options are shown in Attachment 3 and are listed below:

1. Wood bandshell with fiberglass shingled roof – included in original cost estimate.

2. Steel frame bandshell with curved roof – increases cost by $60,000.

3. Steel frame bandshell with curved roof alternate design – increases cost by $90,000.

The PRBC recommended that Council proceed with a bandshell similar to Option 3. The commission also reiterated the need for a dance area near the stage, and also asked about the height of the bandshell which is not known at this time. Staff supports the PRBC recommended Option 3 and is recommending approval by Council. Based on Council direction, staff will work Staff Report: Ramona Garden Park Design (CIP 1259) Page 3 April 10, 2023
with the design consultant to determine the appropriate height of the bandshell and to design a suitable space for dancing.

Phasing, Project Funding and CDBG Application - The total cost of the Ramona Garden Park Rehabilitation project was previously estimated at $4.8 million but this cost will likely be higher given current market conditions. Phase 1 was previously estimated at $1.3 million and now estimates are approximately $1.7 million. The preliminary estimate for Phase 2 is also $1.7 million.

The project is included in the City’s five-year CIP, however due to budget constraints, the project is being deferred until FY 2025-26, as previously mentioned.

Lastly, staff has recently been informed of the possibility of an opportunity to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG that could provide funding for this project. The City has historically been successful with CDBG applications for water line work and the process for this grant is similar with the most recent CDBG funding with an over-the-counter application requiring a shovel ready project. Staff notes that this project would likely only be eligible for the CDBG if the Phase 2 construction of the amphitheater is included with the subsequent provision of free or low-cost events and activities for the City and region. The maximum grant application is $3 million and would not fully fund both phases. The PRBC recommended that Council authorize staff to apply for the CDBG funds. While funding is limited, staff the PRBC recommendation that the City submit an application for CDBG funding following completion of the project design of Phases 1 and 2 which staff anticipates would occur this summer.

FISCAL IMPACT
The construction estimate for Phase 1 is approximately $1.7 million. Previous estimates for Phase 2 were also $1.7 million for a total of an estimated $3.4 million for both Phases. The project is included in the City’s five-year CIP, however due to budget constraints, the project is recommended to be deferred until FY 2025-26. The maximum CDGB application is $3M. Should the City be awarded the grant, staff will return to the Council with recommendations to modify the CIP or identify alternative funding for the remaining construction costs.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Receive an update on the design including input from the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission; and provide direction for the final design of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Ramona Garden Park CIP 1259; and authorize staff to apply for a Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $3 million for the project; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

RECOMMENDATION
Provide ratification and approval of the escrow and contract for the purchase agreement for the property at 0 Calvin Court identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 060-543-007.

BACKGROUND
Property located at 0 Calvin Court in Grover Beach was listed for sale in January of 2023. The property is located near the corner of Calvin Court and South 4th Street, is approximately 0.5 acres in area and is bounded by S. 4th Street, Calvin Court, Huber Street and Griffin Street. The property is vacant, undeveloped and is currently fully covered by Eucalyptus trees. The property is identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 060-543-007 and is depicted in the map below with an aerial view of the property on the following page:

Staff Report: Property Acquisition for 0 Calvin Court Page 2 April 10, 2023
This property is adjacent to the Central Coast Blue treatment facility site under development to the north of this property. The Central Coast Blue partner agencies have identified benefits in using this property to expand the Central Coast Blue project footprint, route proposed water and sewer mains away from the proposed homeless housing facility located nearby on South 4th Street, and provide additional buffers between the treatment facility and the surrounding uses. It is anticipated that this property once acquired would ultimately be transferred to the Central Coast Blue Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and the City would be reimbursed for the portion of the cost beyond the City’s cost-sharing percentage in the Central Coast Blue project.

Staff has negotiated a price of $200,000 to acquire the property along with a waiver of approximately $3,000 in City penalties assessed on the property for failure to maintain the property and hazardous conditions related to the condition of the trees. The property currently is liened by the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA) in the amount of $11,000 for other weed abatement and cleanup. The seller is responsible to pay off this lien as part of this transaction but the City will assure the FCFA receives payment. A phase 1 Environmental survey was performed to identify any record of uses that could result in contamination of soils or groundwater on the property and the result determined that there are no records indicating a potential for contamination.

The current property owner put the subject property on the market for sale in January 2023. The importance of the property for future City interest along with the interest in using this lot by the Central Coast Blue project required immediate consideration of acquisition. The Central Coast Blue JPA Board also provided direction to consider the purchase of the property for the needs of the project. Staff entered into a purchase agreement and escrow for the purchase of this property on February 2, 2023 to assure the ability to consider this property for use by CCB or the City with an escrow closing of April 24, 2023. Due to the timing of needing to complete this transaction, Staff Report: Property Acquisition for 0 Calvin Court Page 3 April 10, 2023
staff is requesting Council ratification and approval of the purchase agreement to ensure the timely acquisition of this real property for public benefit.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Acquisition of the property is covered by the common sense rule exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the acquisition of the property may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)). A Common Sense Rule Exemption will be filed pending Council action related to the purchase.

FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action would result in the City purchasing the property for $200,000, waiving approximately $3,000 in City penalties, and providing assurance to FCFA for payment of the $11,000 in liens which are the responsibility of the seller. The City’s cost would be paid from the Water Fund. Subject to future actions by the CCB JPA, The City is expecting to be reimbursed for approximately $136,000 of the total cost by the other participating agencies in Central Coast Blue with the City’s remaining cost at $64,000.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council has the following alternatives to consider:

1. Ratify and approve the February 2, 2023 purchase agreement and escrow for the acquisition of the subject property.

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The agenda was posted in accordance with the Brown Act.

Based on the findings of this Phase I ESA, it is our opinion that no recognized environmental conditions were identified for the subject property.

Notable Findings

1. Reported per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater within three miles of the subject property

2. Several nearby automotive repair shops and junk/vehicle storage yards Deviations from ASTM Standard

1. Deviation resulting in possible data gap (User Questionnaire not completed) Because we have no evidence indicating that the subject property has been impacted by hazardous materials or petroleum products, no additional assessment is recommended. However, to evaluate the potential subject property impact associated with the reported PFAS in groundwater, we recommend that the user contact Newsom Springs Mutual Water Company or the potable water provider for the City of Grover Beach. Additionally, we recommend that the solid waste and equipment observed on the subject property be removed and disposed of offsite.

Introduction
Rincon Consultants, Inc. 3
1 Introduction
This report presents the findings of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) conducted for the Central Coast Blue Project property located in Grover Beach, California (subject property; Figure 1). The Phase I ESA was performed by Rincon Consultants, Inc. (Rincon) for the City of Grover Beach in general conformance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E1527-21, our proposal dated February 13, 2023, and our contract dated March 7, 2023. The following sections present our findings and provide our opinion as to the presence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on the subject property.

1.1 Purpose and Definitions
The City of Grover Beach has requested this assessment and will use the information for the purpose of purchasing the subject property. The purpose of this Phase I ESA was to determine if there are RECs on the subject property, taking into account commonly and reasonably ascertainable information, and to qualify for Landowner Liability Protections under the Brownfields Amendments to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

Recognized Environmental Condition (REC)
A REC is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as,
“(1) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release to the environment;
(2) the likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release or likely release to the environment; or (3) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment”.

As stated in ASTM E1527-21,
“likely is that which is neither certain nor proved, but can be expected or believed by a reasonable observer based on the logic and/or experience of the environmental professional, and/or available evidence, as stated in the report to support the opinions given therein”.

Controlled REC
A Controlled REC is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as, “recognized environmental condition affecting the subject property that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or authorities with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to implementation of required controls (for example, activity and use limitations or other property use limitations)”.

Introduction
Rincon Consultants, Inc. 5
Historical REC
A Historical REC is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as, “a previous release of hazardous substances or petroleum products affecting the subject property that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or authorities and meeting unrestricted use criteria established by the applicable regulatory authority or authorities without subjecting the subject property to any controls (for example, activity and use limitations or other property use limitations). A historical recognized environmental condition is not a recognized environmental condition”.

De minimis
A de minimis condition is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as, “a condition related to a release that generally does not present a threat to human health or the environment and that generally would not be the subject of an enforcement action if brought to the attention of appropriate governmental agencies. A condition determined to be a de minimis condition is not a recognized environmental condition nor a controlled recognized environmental condition”.

Property Use Limitation
A Property Use Limitation (PUL) is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as, “a limitation or restriction on current or future use of a property in connection with a response to a release, in accordance with the applicable regulatory authority or authorities that allows hazardous substances or petroleum products to remain in place at concentrations exceeding unrestricted use criteria”.

Significant Data Gap
A Significant Data Gap is defined pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 as, “a data gap that affects the ability of the environmental professional to identify a recognized environmental condition”.

Notable Finding
Although not defined by ASTM E1527-21, Rincon utilizes the term Notable Finding for potential environmental concerns present at or possibly present at a property that do not specifically fit one of the above ASTM-defined situations, yet may impact current or future use of the subject property.

1.2 Scope of Services
The scope of services conducted during this study is outlined below:
▪ Performed a reconnaissance of the subject property to identify obvious indicators of the existence of hazardous materials.
▪ Observed adjacent or nearby properties from public thoroughfares in an attempt to see if such properties are likely to use, store, generate, or dispose of hazardous materials.

1.3 Significant Assumptions, Limitations, Deviations,
Exceptions, Special Terms, and Conditions
This work is intended to adhere to good commercial, customary, and generally accepted environmental investigation practices for similar investigations conducted at this time and in this geographic area. No guarantee or warranties, expressed or implied, are provided. The findings and opinions conveyed in this report are based on findings derived from a site reconnaissance, review of an environmental database report, specified regulatory records and historical sources, and comments made by interviewees. This report is not intended as a comprehensive site characterization and should not be construed as such. Standard data sources relied upon during the completion of Phase I ESAs may vary with regard to accuracy and completeness. Although Rincon believes the data sources are reasonably reliable, Rincon cannot and does not guarantee the authenticity or reliability of the data sources it has used. Additionally, pursuant to our contract, the data sources reviewed included only those that are practically reviewable without the need for extraordinary research.

Introduction
Rincon Consultants, Inc. 7
Rincon has not found evidence that hazardous materials or petroleum products exist at the subject property at levels likely to warrant mitigation. Rincon does not under any circumstances warrant or guarantee that not finding evidence of hazardous materials or petroleum products means that hazardous materials or petroleum products do not exist on the subject property. Additional research, including surface or subsurface sampling and analysis, can reduce the City of Grover Beach’s risks, but no techniques commonly employed can eliminate these risks altogether.

In addition, pursuant to ASTM E1527-21 practice, our scope of services did not include any inquiries with respect to asbestos-containing building materials unrelated to releases into the environment; biological agents; cultural and historic resources; ecological resources; endangered species; health and safety; indoor air quality unrelated to releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products into the environment; industrial hygiene; lead-based paint unrelated to releases into the environment; lead in drinking water; mold or microbial growth conditions; polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing building materials (e.g., interior fluorescent light ballasts, paint, and caulk); naturally-occurring radon; regulatory compliance; substances not defined as hazardous substances (including some substances sometimes generally referred to as emerging contaminants) unless or until such substances are classified as a CERCLA hazardous substance; and wetlands.

1.4 ASTM Deviations
Deviations from ASTM E1527-21 practice were encountered during the completion of this Phase I ESA. The User Questionnaire was not returned as of the date of this report. In addition, an environmental lien search was not completed as part of this assessment; however, one was requested from the user.

1.5 User Reliance
The City of Grover Beach has requested this assessment and will use the information for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring the subject property. This Phase I ESA was prepared for use solely and exclusively by the City of Grover Beach. No other use or disclosure is intended or authorized by Rincon. Also, this report is issued with the understanding that it is to be used only in its entirety. It is intended for use only by the City of Grover Beach and no other person or entity may rely upon the report without the express written consent of Rincon.

Responsibilities

2.1 Review Land Title Records and Judicial Records for
Environmental Liens and Activity and Use
Limitations
Rincon requested title search information reports from the user of the report. Pursuant to ASTM E1527-21,
“the title search information reports shall identify environmental covenants, environmental easements, land use covenant and agreements, declaration of environmental land use restrictions, environmental land use controls, environmental use controls, environmental liens, or any other recorded instrument that restricts, affects, or encumbers the title to the subject property due to restrictions or encumbrances associated with the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products. Title search information reports shall review land title records for documents recorded between 1980 and the present. If judicial records are not reviewed, the title search information report shall include a statement providing that the law or custom in the jurisdiction at issue does not require a search for judicial records in order to identify environmental liens”.

As stated in ASTM E1527-21 it is the “user’s responsibility to search for environmental liens and activity and land use limitations (AULs)”. This is in “addition to the environmental professional’s search of institutional control and engineering control registries described in” ASTM E1527-21 Section 8.2.

As of the date of this report, title search information records have not been provided to Rincon.

2.2 User Questionnaire
As described in ASTM E1527-21 Section 6, a User Questionnaire as provided by ASTM E1527-21 Appendix X3 was provided to the City of Grover Beach. The purpose of the User Questionnaire is for the user of the Phase I ESA to provide actual knowledge pertaining to the subject property to help identify RECs. As of the date of this report, a completed User Questionnaire has not been returned to Rincon.

The following document regarding the subject property was provided by the City of Grover Beach:
▪ Seller Vacant Land Questionnaire, California Association of Realtors, December 2022. Based on our review of this report, Michael R. Combs is the owner of the subject property. Additionally, the owner does not have knowledge of boundaries, access, or property use by others; geologic conditions or environmental hazards; governmental issues; water-related issues; utilities or services; property improvements; neighborhood issues; title, ownership, or legal claims; or other issues. The subject property is disclosed as located near a light industrial park.

12 3 Physical Setting Resources and
Government Records

3.1 Physical Setting Resources
Topography
The current USGS topographic map (Oceano Quadrangle, 2018) indicates that the subject property is situated at an elevation of approximately 25 feet above mean sea level with topography sloping down to the west. The adjacent topography is relatively flat. A copy of the current USGS topographic map is included in Appendix B (EDR 2023, page 6).

Geology and Hydrogeology
Based on information provided by the City of Grover Beach and the property owners, there are no site-specific geotechnical or geologic reports available for the subject property.

According to the current USGS Geologic Map (Dibblee 2006), the subject property is underlain by sand from older stabilized dunes.

During the preparation of this Phase I ESA, we reviewed the California SWRCB’s online GeoTracker database to determine groundwater flow direction in the vicinity of the subject property. File reviews conducted for the subject property and/or surrounding release sites indicate that groundwater is typically encountered in the upper 4 to 48 feet below grade with gradients to the west-southwest and south-southwest. The information obtained regarding groundwater in the vicinity of the subject property is listed below:

3.2 Government Record Sources and Agency Records
Review
Rincon outsourced with a regulatory database search contractor, Environmental Data Resources (EDR), to obtain records of sites that generate, store, treat, or dispose of hazardous materials and sites for which a hazardous material release incident has occurred. The regulatory database search was conducted for the subject property and included data from surrounding sites within specified radii of the subject property. A copy of the database report, which specifies the ASTM E1527-21 search distance for each public list, is included as Appendix B. As shown on the March 6, 2023 database report, federal, state, and county lists were reviewed as part of the research effort. Please Physical Setting Resources and Government Records
Rincon Consultants, Inc. 13
refer to Appendix B for a complete listing of sites reported by EDR and a description of the databases reviewed.

The Map Findings Summary, included in the database report, provides a summary of the databases searched, the number of reported facilities within the search radii, and whether the facility is located onsite or adjacent to the subject property.

As a follow-up to the database search, Rincon reviewed regulatory information for the subject property and nearby listings that were interpreted to have the potential to impact the subject property, based on one or more of the factors listed below:
▪ Reported distance of the facility from the subject property; ▪ The nature of the database on which the facility is listed, and/or whether the facility was listed on a database reporting unauthorized releases of hazardous materials, petroleum products, or hazardous wastes;
▪ Reported case type (e.g., soil only, failed underground storage tank [UST] test only); ▪ Reported substance released (e.g., chlorinated solvents, gasoline, metals); ▪ Reported regulatory agency status (e.g., case closed, “no further action”); and, ▪ Location of the facility with respect to the reported groundwater flow direction (discussed in Section 3.1 of this report).

Facilities/properties that were interpreted by Rincon to be of potential environmental concern to the subject property, based on one or more of the factors listed above, are summarized below. In accordance with ASTM E1527-21, contamination migration pathways in soil, groundwater, and soil vapor were considered in our analysis of offsite properties of potential environmental concern.

Because no database-listed sites were interpreted to be of potential environmental concern to the subject property, no agency files were reviewed as part of this research effort.

3.5 Review of California Statewide PFAS Investigation
Beginning in 2019, the SWRCB sent assessment requirements to property owners of sites that may be potential sources of PFAS. These sites currently include select airports, chrome plating facilities, Department of Defense (DoD) sites, landfills, publicly owned treatment works facilities, and bulk fuel storage terminals and refineries. According to the SWRCB, “PFAS are a large group of human-made substances that do not occur naturally in the environment and are resistant to heat, water, and oil” (SWRCB 2023).

Our March 2023 review of the California Statewide PFAS Investigation online Public Map Viewer indicates that there are no current airport, chrome plating, DoD, landfill, or publicly owned treatment works facilities with PFAS orders listed as located within 0.5 mile of the subject property (SWRCB 2023). Based on our review of the SWRCB’s March 8, 2023 Bulk Fuel Terminal/Refinery Investigative Order, the subject property is not listed on the Bulk Fuel Storage Terminals and Refineries List (Attachment 1 of the Order). In addition, none of the Bulk Fuel Storage Terminals or Refineries on the list are located within 0.5 mile of the subject property (SWRCB 2023).

Our March 8, 2023 review of the California Statewide Drinking Water System Quarterly Testing Results online Public Map Viewer indicates that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) were detected in a Newsom Springs Mutual Water Co. (Arroyo Grande) drinking water well located approximately 2.6 miles to the east-northeast of the subject property and tested quarterly as part of a PFAS investigative order (SWRCB 2023). This well contains PFOA and PFOS at concentrations greater than their respective SWRCB notification and response levels.

Potential Vapor Migration
Rincon Consultants, Inc. 27
7 Potential Vapor Migration
The database report and other resources were reviewed to identify nearby known or suspect contaminated sites that have the potential for contaminated vapor originating from the nearby sites to migrate beneath the subject property. Based on the ASTM E2600-15, Standard Guide for Vapor Encroachment Screening on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions, the following minimum search distances were initially used to determine if contaminated soil vapors from a nearby known or suspect contaminated site have the potential to be migrating beneath the subject property:
▪ 1/10 mile (528 feet) for petroleum hydrocarbons
▪ 1/3 mile (1,760 feet) for other contaminants of concern (COCs) Groundwater depth and flow direction is also utilized to determine risk of vapor migration.

Groundwater in the vicinity of the subject property is reportedly present between 4 and 48 feet and has varying flow directions to the west-southwest and south-southwest (Section 3.1).

Online agency resources are reviewed to determine the extent of the contaminated soil or groundwater plume at known or suspect contaminated sites as specified below:
▪ Onsite or adjacent to the subject property,
▪ Within 100 feet, or
▪ Within the above referenced distances from the subject property and upgradient or crossgradient to the subject property.

Sections 7.1 and 7.2 describe contaminated soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater plumes of petroleum hydrocarbons (528 feet from the subject property) and other COCs (1,760 feet from the subject property). Per ASTM E2600-15, vapors associated with impacted soil or groundwater present within these distances have the potential to migrate beneath the subject property.

7.1 Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Based on our review of the database report and other information as indicated above, there are no known or suspect petroleum hydrocarbon-impacted sites within 528 feet of the subject property.

Therefore, per ASTM E2600-15, as this distance exceeds the 30-foot distance considered the critical distance wherein such migration may pose a threat to the subject property, there are no potential threats to the subject property posed by the potential migration of petroleum hydrocarbon vapors from listed sites.

1 Reported PFAS in
groundwater within
three miles of the subject
property
According to the California Statewide Drinking Water System Quarterly Testing Results online Public Map Viewer, PFOA and PFOS were detected in a drinking water well located approximately 2.6 miles east-northeast of the subject property at concentrations greater than their respective SWRCB notification and response levels.

It is unknown if this wells is currently in service, or if concentrations of PFAS have an impact on water quality with Newsom Springs Mutual Water Company’s service area.

For information regarding potable water quality provided to the subject property, contact Newsom Springs Mutual Water Company or the potable water provider for the City of Grover Beach.

It is unknown if groundwater beneath the subject property is planned for use onsite; therefore, it is unknown if a further assessment of PFAS in groundwater is warranted at this time.

Notable Finding Contact Newsom Springs
Mutual Water Company
(Arroyo Grande) or the
potable water provider
for the City of Grover
Beach
2 Several nearby
automotive repair shops
and junk/vehicle storage
yards
During our review of the historical records and our onsite reconnaissance, junk/vehicle storage yards were noted to the north, west, and northeast of the subject property.

While these facilities have the potential to utilize hazardous materials, no releases have been reported. Therefore, it is not expected that these properties will impact the subject property.

However, during our site reconnaissance, various solid waste and equipment was observed in the northwestern corner of the subject property. We recommend that this solid waste and equipment is removed and disposed of offsite.

Notable Finding Proper removal and
offsite disposal of solid
waste and equipment
