AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/18/2023 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION

SUBJECT:

Presentation to Council regarding the official results of the Community Surveys for Hidden Valley Park and a report on the next steps and projected costs for the project.

Based
RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:That the City Council receives a presentation from staff and provide direction as appropriate.

Recommended Motion:

BACKGROUND:

Rezoning and General Plan Amendment Process
As part of a city-wide project, the City intends to change the General Plan designation and zoning for a portion of Hidden Valley Park from Low Density Residential to Open Space and P-F Public Facilities, respectively. Changing the general plan designation and the zoning will allow for the site to be developed as park space in the future. This process will require public hearings, recommendations from the Planning Commission and approval from the City Council.

Housing Process
California's "No Net Loss" provisions (Government Code Section 65863) may require the City to identify another available site with "an equal or greater residential density in the jurisdiction so that there is no net loss of residential unit capacity." This process may involve determining the total loss of residential units associated with the rezone and identifying another suitable location to place those units in conformance with the City's General Plan.

Environmental Process
The General Plan amendment and zone change process meets the definition of a "project" according to the California Environmental Quality Act, which will require the City to undergo the environmental process, including public notices, public comments, and approvals. The environmental process is currently underway and is expected to take 5-6 months to complete.

Overall Timeframe
The rezoning, general plan amendment, housing analysis and site identification, and CEQA process is expected to take approximately 9-12 months.

Community Engagement

Page 5 of 665 ends

Per Council's directions, staff conducted community outreach to prioritize the community's park features and amenities choices. Dozens of people attended the outreach events on May 27, June 1, and June 3. The online survey received 775 submittals in less than one month.

The amenities with the most votes (in-person and online) are listed below:

AMENITIES
Walking and Biking Trails (655)
Innovative Playground (372)
Picnic Arbors (278)
Interactive Playground (266)
Basketball Courts (237)
Splash Pad (236)
Ninja Course (236)
Fishing Pond (223)
Pump Track (191)
Golf Driving Range (176)
Note: Disc Golf and Senior Playground were included as amenities at in-person events, but not online.

The City included five support feature options as part of the outreach campaign. Those results are listed below.

SUPPORT FEATURES
Park Lighting (543)
Park Restrooms (473)
Parking Lot (240)
Creative Park Seating (212)
Public Art (173)
Probable Costs
To begin the initial process of determining the probable costs of the project, staff contacted three professional Landscape Architects with relevant knowledge and extensive experience in park design and construction. The group's consensus ranged between $600,000-$800,000 per acre for park

Page 6 of 665 ends

development. Based on the existing park and vacant 18-acre parcel, the probable cost for development is between $10.8 and $14.4 Million, depending on the chosen amenities and design. It is important to mention that the expenses of the required infrastructure (water, sewer, and electricity) are often overlooked and underestimated. Based on this information, the park's development cost estimates and possible phasing must be fully analyzed.

Next Steps
Next, an engineering firm will be contracted to create a topographic map that shows park elements such as contours, vegetation, and utilities. City staff will also hire a landscape architect company to incorporate these top amenities and support features into several preliminary design concepts, integrating proposed phases and estimated costs. These materials are expected to be completed early this Fall and presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission and City Council for consideration and direction.

AGENDA

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/18/2023 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Approval of the City's formal response to the 2022-23 Grand Jury Report Regarding Homeless Issues

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion: (i) Approve the attached response to the 2022-2023 Kings County Grand Jury Report regarding homeless issues; and (ii) Authorize the Mayor’s and Council Members’ signature on a transmittal letter under which the response will be sent to the Presiding Judge of the Kings County Superior Court.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the response to the Grand Jury Report regarding homeless issues and that the cover letter be signed by the Mayor and Council Members.

BACKGROUND:

The 2022-2023 Kings County Grand Jury issued the attached report regarding homeless issues.

The California Penal Code establishes requirements for the City’s response to a Grand Jury Report, and the City Attorneys’ Office worked with City staff to prepare a response that covers those requirements.

Highlights of the Response:

• The City agrees that there is a great need for a navigation center in Hanford and that City concurs with the Grand Jury’s recommendation that the soon-to-be-vacated juvenile hall facility at the Kings County Government Center be used as a temporary navigation center. The City’s 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan includes $200,000.00 in funding that will be contributed toward the establishment of a permanent navigation center within Hanford.

• The City agrees that the South Hanford Courtyard Community project pursued by the Kings County Human Services Agency and Kings Gospel Mission should be made a priority.

• The City agrees that Kings County Behavioral Health should utilize the California Health Facility Financing Authority and Crisis Care Mobile Unit Program grant funds that it was awarded to implement its proposed mobile unit programs for the assistance of children and the homeless.

• The City agrees that plans for a low barrier shelter should be instituted soon. The navigation center described in the City’s 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan includes space for a kitchen, foodbank, navigation center, and low barrier shelter.

Page 22 of 665 ends

The California Penal Code requires the City Council and the Mayor to respond to all Grand Jury reports involving City matters. As a result, the City’s response will be sent to the Presiding Judge of the Kings County Superior Court under a cover letter signed by the Mayor and Council Members.

The Grand Jury also invited the Police Chief to respond to the Grand Jury’s report. Accordingly, the cover letter says that the attached response also represents the Chief’s response.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City’s 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan identifies $200,000.00 in funding that will be contributed toward the creation of a homeless facility that includes space for a kitchen, foodbank, navigation center, and low barrier shelter.

1 CITY OF HANFORD’S RESPONSE TO GRAND JURY REPORT 2022-2023

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR HOMELESS CRISIS
* * * * *
The following is the response of the Hanford City Council, Hanford’s Mayor, and Hanford’s Police Chief (collectively “the City”) to the Grand Jury Report for the 2022-2023 session (“the Report”) entitled “SPOTLIGHT ON OUR HOMELESS CRISIS.” Grand Jury Finding 1: “There is a great need for a navigation center in Hanford.” City’s Response to Finding 1:

The City agrees with Finding 1.

Recommendation 1: “Use part or all of the soon to be vacated juvenile hall building for a temporary navigation center (first step).”
City’s Response to Recommendation 1:

The City does not own the soon-to-be-vacated juvenile hall facility and cannot commit to Recommendation 1; the City, however, supports the Grand Jury’s recommendation.

The City intends to financially support a permanent navigation center. The City’s 2023- 2024 Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) Annual Action Plan (“Annual Action Plan”), which has been approved by the City Council, includes two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) in funding for a homeless navigation center to be located in Hanford. The Annual Action Plan describes the project as: “The joint-use building would house a kitchen, foodbank, navigation center, and low-barrier emergency shelter. The foodbank would [utilize] 75% of the facility, while the remaining 25% would be used as shelter and navigation center.” The project’s target date is identified in the Annual Action Plan as December 30, 2024. The City intends to coordinate with other public agencies and private organizations, including Kings Community Action Organization (“KCAO”), in the facility’s planning and will contribute CDBG funds towards its development.

Grand Jury Finding 2: “The South Hanford Courtyard Community project is not complete or being occupied as of the date of this report.” City’s Response to Finding 2: The City is not a party to the South Hanford Courtyard Community project and is unaware of its status.

Recommendation 2: “Make the South Hanford Courtyard Community project an imminent priority.”

Page 24 of 665 ends

2 City’s Response to Recommendation 2: The City concurs with Recommendation 2 that the project should be an imminent priority. The City, however, is not a party to and possesses no control over the project.

Grand Jury Finding 3: “The Behavioral Health grants have been awarded but have yet to be implemented.”
City’s Response to Finding 3: The City is not a party to the grants and is unaware of their status.

Recommendation 3: “Behavioral Health should follow through as soon as possible with the implementation of their mobile unit programs.”
City’s Response to Recommendation 3: The City concurs with Recommendation 3 that Behavioral Health should follow through as soon as possible with the implementation of the mobile units program. As the City possesses no authority over that agency, the City’s role in the matter is limited to encouraging Behavioral Health to move forward with the program.

Grand Jury Finding 4: “There is a need in our community for a low barrier shelter in Kings County.”
City’s Response to Finding 4: The City concurs with Finding 4 that the community needs a low barrier shelter in Kings County.

Recommendation 4: “Continue to look for land that is appropriate for a low barrier shelter. Institute the KCAO plan for such a low barrier shelter soon.” City’s Response to Recommendation 4:

As noted above in the City’s Response to Recommendation 1, the City’s 2023-2024 CDBG Annual Action Plan includes two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) in funding for a homeless navigation center to be located in Hanford. The City intends to coordinate with other public agencies and private organizations, including KCAO, in the facility’s planning and will contribute CDBG funds towards its development.

SUMMARY

SPOTLIGHT ON OUR HOMELESS CRISIS
May 26, 2023
The 2022-2023 Kings County Grand Jury (Grand Jury) acknowledges that the homelessness issue is overwhelming in many cities. To deal with such a vast problem, the 2022-2023 Grand Jury decided to cover just four of the major ongoing homeless projects in Hanford.

Through investigation the Grand Jury was made aware of a proposal for a navigation center submitted in 2018 (approximately) by the Hanford Police Department. The idea was to have a one stop-shop navigation center that would provide a central location for the homeless to obtain resources and services. It was not to be a location where homeless individuals would sleep. There remains a need for a navigation center (a one-stop shop) in Hanford for the homeless.

Several agencies within Hanford, to include but not limited to police and Human Services, serve Kings County. Their efforts are inefficient due to a lack of a central location where homeless individuals and families can find needed services (navigation center) .

The Hanford Police Department's Homeless Assistance Response Team (HART) which was established in 2020 to assist the homeless population, is a valuable part of our community. HART researched the well thought out proposal for a navigation center. Implementing this proposal is an essential first step in addressing our ongoing homeless crisis.

The South Hanford Courtyard Community project, a partnership between the Kings County Human Services Agency (KCHSA) and the Kings Gospel Mission (KGM), is not being occupied as of the date of this report. This affordable housing complex should be made an urgent priority.

Kings County Behavioral Health (KCBH) has received two grants to provide services to the homeless by deploying a mobile unit that will visit encampments and provide services to our children in their schools.

Kings Community Action Organization (KCAO) has a plan for a new food bank and a low barrier homeless shelter to serve Kings County. The Grand Jury would like to see this as a second step for our homeless community.

BACKGROUND
Homelessness is a very large, broad, and complex issue. It will not be solved easily. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stated, "It is not enough to take steps which may someday lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise". It is important that the issue of homelessness be broken down into obtainable steps. Small steps, such as a navigation center, can be put into action showing results obtained by critical analysis from government and citizens alike. The way to build a community's trust in large projects such as a low barrier shelter (defined as: a housing-first, low- 1

Page 27 of 665 ends

barrier, temporary, service-enriched shelter focused on helping homeless individuals and families to quickly obtain permanent housing), is by doing a small navigation center (step one) well and showing that it is nothing to be feared. Permanent housing should be made a goal only after a person is shown to be mentally capable, drug free and demonstrates the responsibility to take care of said permanent housing.

The City of Hanford is the county seat and has the majority of resources available to the homeless community. It is where Health and Human Services, Behavioral Health, etc., have their offices.

Resources for the homeless such as soup kitchens and other free-to-the-public services in Kings County can also be found in the Hanford area.

The Grand Jury sees the second step as a low barrier shelter where the homeless would be able to spend the night. This would also fulfill the needs of Martin v. Boise (2018). This was a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in response to a 2009 lawsuit by six homeless plaintiffs against the city of Boise, Idaho regarding the city's anti-camping ordinance. The ruling held that cities cannot enforce anti-camping ordinances if they do not have enough homeless shelter beds available for their homeless population.

Navigation Center
"A navigation center is typically described as a low barrier and high service environment for adults experiencing homelessness." The Grand Jury proposes that the soon to be vacated Juvenile Hall building be used as a small navigation center (step one). It is an existing structure in the center of Hanford that is equipped with a kitchen, showers, laundry, and divided spaces (with charging ports) that could be easily converted to fit any current needs with minimal financial cost to taxpayers.

This area of the city already has many services and amenities nearby such as:
• KART transportation
• Mental Health Services (Kings View)
• Job Training - downtown Hanford
• Human Services - County Center
• Veterans Services - County Center
• Social Security - Downtown Hanford
• Library - Downtown Hanford
• Hospital - Campus Way
• Sheriff Department County Center
• Urgent Care - Lacey and Campus A venue
• Grocery Store - 12th and Lacey
• Fast Food - 12th and Lacey
• OMV, for Id's etc. 11th and Hanford Annona
• Thrift Store 11th and Railroad Tracks
• Possible Space for tents - 3rd and 11th
• Possible Space for tents - behind the old Juvenal Hall yard area • Salvation Army - E. Ivy Street and North White
2

Page 28 of 665 ends

• Soup kitchen - N. Douty Street and East 11th
Starting out with and being successful with, a navigation center that handles the daily needs of local Hanford homeless, will earn the communities trust that perhaps a low barrier shelter down the road should not be feared as a second step in addressing our homeless issue. San Rafael California is an example of a successful effort completed by a similar city like Hanford in trying to combat the issues that come with homelessness.

HART
In 2020, officers of Hanford Police Department's HART which is part of the Hanford Police Department, researched the proposal to establish an accessible Homeless Resource Center (navigation · center) in downtown Hanford. The proposed navigation center would have provided a central location for homeless to obtain resources and services such as Behavioral Health Services ~ medical care, and access to community partners, information on shelter and housing opportunities, etc., Homeless individuals could also take care of essential needs such as personal hygiene, laundry and be provided with a Wi-Fi connection to contact loved ones. This center would have the ability to collect data on the true scale of homeless persons an9 their needs in Kings County. This project had the support of Hanford City Council but was defeated when a group of business owners and some citizens objected. Not in my backyard (NIMBY) seems to be prevalent. HART's efforts and recommendations for a navigation center should be applauded. Currently the police are only able to ask the homeless to move on and do not have anywhere to take homeless persons who are staying in front of businesses or are on private property.

Grand Jury members took the opportunity to ride along with the two Hanford HART officers during the month of January 2023. The members learned and saw firsthand what the officers deal with each day. There are many encampments, single tents and motor homes being used by the homeless in our city streets and on private property . The HART members have great knowledge of where the homeless are staying, they have developed relationships with them and try to help them match their needs with available services.

Affordable Housing
KCHSA is working with KGM in a partnership to provide 24 small prefab two-bedroom one bathroom houses called South Hanford Courtyard Community. This project was to be fully operational by June 30, 2021, but the actual groundbreaking took place in October of 2022 and was to be occupied starting in March of 2023. As of the date of this report, the project has not been completed nor are there any people residing there. The delays were due to unforeseen circumstances .

Mobil Crisis Units
The KCBH has recently applied for and received two grants. 3

Page 29 of 665 ends

l) (CHFF A) grant - California Health Facilities Financing Authority - which would fund a school and child welfare services mobile crisis support team. 2) (CCMU) grant Crisis Care Mobil Unit Program - would fund the deployment of a mobile services unit in the community and would provide much needed services to our homeless population.

Low Barrier Shelter
KCAO has introduced a plan for a combined community food bank and a low barrier shelter in Annona or Hanford. The neighbors around the proposed Annona site have expressed concerns about the location so the Kings County Board of Supervisors has forgone that as a possible site.

KCAO would have a presence and be a valuable resource in the new navigation center with the goal of implementing their well thought out combined food bank/low barrier shelter as a second step in the near future.

METHODOLOGY
The Health and Human Services Director was interviewed on September 14, 2022, November 16, 2022, and April 12, 2023.

Members of the Behavioral Health Department were interviewed on November 7, 2022, and again on February!, 2023.

DISCUSSION
The following are a few of the homeless projects that the Grand Jury chose to highlight and does not represent a complete list of projects that are ongoing throughout our County.

Navigation Center:

Officers from the HART team researched the proposal to establish an accessible Homeless Resource Center in downtown Hanford. Homeless persons would have access to resources and services from providers such as Behavioral Health, medical care, and community partners. The center was not proposed to be a shelter where homeless people would sleep.

Please see Exhibit A for the details of the HARTs proposed plan on page I I.

Nothing came of this idea even with the support of Hanford City Council, as some business owners and some residents had concerns about the project.

Grand Jury members went with HART officers on ride-a longs during the month of January 2023.

The HART officers continue to take a proactive and problem-solving approach to working with the homeless and have a direct impact on the quality of life for Hanford's unhoused community, residents, and business owners.

Affordable Housing:

On December 21, 2021, the State of California Housing & Community Development awarded the County of Kings $4,434,614 as part of a $600 million program, to purchase and rehabilitate housing including hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings and other properties and to convert them into permanent, long-term housing for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The projects also included new developments and manufactured home construction. KCHSA is working with KGM in a partnership to provide 24 small prefab two-bedroom one-bathroom houses called South Hanford Courtyard Community. This is a permanent affordable supportive housing development on four-acres located on 10th avenue just south of the Fairgrounds. This property is owned and operated by Kings Gospel Mission under a 55-year restrictive covenant.

Kings County through the KCHSA was to purchase 24 "affordable housing units" in December of 2020. Four of the units were to be for possible disabled clients. The total units have sense been decreased to 20 units. The units were to be 50% operational no later than March 30, 2021, and fully operational no later than June 30, 2021. The community was to be setup in a courtyard configuration to encourage self-policing, peer-support activities, and create a community setting. There were to be offices and a common area clubhouse located in the center to encourage all inhabitants to participate in the community. Each structure would be fully furnished with standard appliances, beds, dressers, a table, and a couch. Each house will have a back patio with space for a small back yard. A food court 6

Page 32 of 665 ends

has been suggested that is meant to provide healthy food options for a low price. KGM will own and operate the premises and the referrals will come from KCHSA .

Behavioral Health:

Behavioral Health has recently filed for two mobile crisis grants. The following was provided by Kings County Behavioral Health.
1) School and Child Welfare Services Mobile Crisis Support Team (CHFFA Grant):

The contract for the Kings County Behavioral Health children's full-service Partnership (FSP) program to expand to host a Mobile Crisis Support Team (MCST) that will respond specifically to children and youth in crisis at schools and at Child Welfare Services (CWS) Monday through Friday during school and CWS hours has been drafted for fiscal year 2023/2024 and is with our legal counsel for review. Once the contract is executed on July 1, 2023, the vendor, Aspiranet, will go into a start-up period to add the team which it is anticipated will be done and services started by September 2023. 2) Community-wide mobile Crisis Planning Grant (CCMU): the planning process began February 9, 2023, through the convening of a Stakeholder Group to advise and steer the planning efforts. From there, an assessment design was developed to include survey tools, focus groups guides, and key information interview questionnaires. The first focus group occurring on Wednesday April 19, 2023, with the Avenal Family Engagement Center and Avenal school representatives. Additional focus groups, key informant interviews, and surveys will be completed through the April 19, 2023, in Spanish and English online for all to share as broadly as possible throughout the County of Kings to try to garner the voice of the community in relation to their crisis experiences if applicable and their perspectives of mobile crisis services. Once the surveys, focus groups, and interviews are closed (May 10, 2023), the results will be used to create an Action Plan by June 30, 2023, which the Grantor requires for which Kings County Behavioral Health will then transition into the development phase of developing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for community-wide mobile crisis services and a grant to deploy a community-wide mobile crisis vehicle to the homeless community. 7

Page 33 of 665 ends

This mobile unit would bring much needed services to the homeless on the street and in homeless camps. The exact format is still being worked out.

KCAO Kings County Action Organization:

It was brought to the Grand Jury's attention during a Homeless Collaborative meeting that there is an idea for a low barrier shelter being discussed (step two). We interviewed the Director of the Homeless Collaborative and the Director of KCAO to find out about his proposal. KCAO owns five acres of land in Armona where they were planning to put a new, large Food Bank. This idea has expanded to include:
• 65,000 square foot warehouse for a Food Bank-cold and dry food, a centralized kitchen, office space, and general storage space.
• 15,000 square feet for a Housing Navigation Center, access to case management, primary medical care, and behavioral health care.
• Low Barrier Shelter would have between 150-200 beds, showers, restrooms, dining area, laundry, mail/phone services, and kennels.

A job training/experience program would be established to provide experience in warehousing, maintenance, kitchen support, landscaping, etc. Working would not be a requirement for staying at the shelter but would be encouraged. Security would also be on site.

The joint use of such a facility would centralize services, staff, and support operations for the homeless. The belief is that the joint use of such a facility would also attract public and private funding for construction and operation. The estimated cost of developing the site and building would be between $13 million and $16 million. $1,400,000 has been secured through a grant from the Sate for the food bank expansion. The annual cost to operate the facility is estimated to be $1,200,000.

Current funding from state and federal agencies will contribute to the operating costs and additional funds from State grants will be sought for the shelter/housing navigation services. A joint power agreement (JPA) between local cities and Kings County will be sought to fund a portion of the operating costs on a cost allocation basis.

FINDINGS

Exhibit A
Researched and provided by the Hanford Police Department Homeless Service Center proposed by the Homeless Assistance Resource Team Purpose: Develop a model of care that centers around a centralized location for the delivery of services for the homeless population. Services would address not only the basic needs of the clients, but also holistic treatment and employment.

Overarching Goals:

Phase I will focus on the following needs: rapport building (enhancing trust of service acceptance/compliance), providing ability for clean clothes and bathing, medical treatment, mental health and substance use treatment, mail, lockers for secure storage of personal belongings , work crew opportunities, employability training, benefit activation, and case management.

Phase II will focus on the continuation of Phase I as well as emergency temporary sheltering of those clients who require such a service.

Desired Outcomes: Kings County community residents who are clean and groomed, engaged in a purposeful routine, treated for any ailing conditions, and who are employable and able to be housed.

By being presentable, stabilized behaviorally, and carrying less in carts/bags, they will have dignity restored.

The outcome will be less recidivism in the hospitals and jails, less police action required for this population, less crisis and urgent care services, and less incidents of community/business fears and destruction.

We recognize that the homeless population is not easy to define, and that each homeless person possesses unique circumstances and characteristics; however, for the purposes of developing the model of care, we have identified the following categories of homeless:

Group A

1. At-risk: this is the population that is on the cusp of homelessness.

“Noncontributing building” means a structure within a historic district which, in its present condition, does not contribute to the sense of time and place of the immediate area and the district. “Noncontributing building” may include those buildings constructed after the time period featured in a historic district or buildings in which the historical characteristics have been irreparably modified. “Noncontributing building” may also include buildings which, while noncontributing at present, may become contributing through the application of appropriate design criteria.

In accordance with the Municipal Code Section 17.48, alterations to the exterior of a building located within the Historic Overlay Zone are required to be approved through a Historic Resources Permit, which must be approved by the City Council.

Section 17.48.040

The section shall not apply to any interior alteration which has no effect on the condition or appearance of any exterior architectural feature of an improvement. No structure listed on a State or National Register shall be moved or demolished, unless a permit is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter.

Section 17.48.070

A. A historic resource permit shall be required for any alteration of the exterior features of a building within a designated historic district, or a designated historic building or site, or to construct a new building or improvements upon property within a designated historic district except as otherwise provided in this Chapter 17.48, the City Council shall determine whether a historic resources permit shall be issued.

Site Description
The building was constructed prior to 1960 and features a base of stucco with large windows extending across large sections of the façade, four doors, and blue stripes painted across the façade above and below the window and door areas facing Harris Street. The roof is flat and contains roof-mounted equipment, all surrounded by a six -inch parapet wall. There are existing paved parking areas on the northern and southern portions of the property. The site was utilized by Chevrolet for many decades . The building has been altered since original construction , including the installation and removal of an awning across the top of the façade, and the placement of wooden boards in front of numerous window openings.

The applicant was required to go through the Site Plan Review process in order to change the use of the building to a restaurant and construct additional building space. Site Plan Review No. 2022-27 was reviewed and approved by the Site Plan Review Committee.

The applicant proposes to change the following features of the site, as shown in Attachment 2:
• Construct additional building space to accommodate kitchen and restroom areas • Construct a new patio area
• Construct a trash enclosure to face the alley
• Modify the layout of the existing doors and windows on the façade of the building • Use the following colors on the patio and the building: Alabaster, Downing Straw, Polished Mahogany, Tan Terra, Madera
• Install signage
• Install roof-mounted structures and roof tiles
• Restripe the parking areas on the northern and southern portions of the property and add landscaping
In order to accommodate adequate kitchen and restroom space, the applicant is proposing to construct 365 sq. ft. of additional building space. The expanded kitchen and restroom areas will ensure the site meets current regulations for a restaurant use. As stated in Section

17.48.150(B)(1) of the Hanford Municipal Code, “every reasonable effort shall be made to use the building, structure or site for its originally intended purpose or for a compatible use which requires minimum alteration of the building, structure o r site.” Due to the layout of the interior, additional building space is necessary in order to ensure the kitchen and restroom s are adequately accommodated on site . Per Section 17.48.150(B)(10), “wherever possible, new additions or alterations to buildings, structures or sites shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the building, structure or site would be unimpaired .” The additional building space wo uld not impair the essential form and integrity of the building, since the building will retain its relatively smaller appearance in comparison to surrounding buildings and its location set back from all surrounding streets and alleys. Additionally, t he bu ilding is noncontributing to the Historic Overlay Zone , therefore expansion of the structure will not destroy an y significant historical, architectural, or cultural material. Based on the history of the site as parking for a Chevrolet dealership, maintaining this setback to allow vehicular access would be in keeping with the history of the site.

Pursuant to Section 17.48.150(B)(9), “contemporary design for alterations and addit ions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and c haracter of the property, neighborhood or

Page 54 of 665 ends

environment.” The features of the new façade and existing façade areas will be compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property . The new façade areas will be composed of stucco to match the existing façade. Stucco surfaces are permitted on a limited basis in the Historic District. According to Section 17.48.150 (B)(6) , “deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired, rather than replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities.” The applicant will patch and repaint the existing stucco areas to match the building.

A new patio area is proposed to extend from the building toward Harris Street. The patio area will be enclosed with a 714 sq. ft. cover composed of brick and stucco, and a wrought iron fence. Per Section 17.48.150(B)(10), “wherever possible, new additions or alterations to buildings, structures or sites shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the building, structure or site would be unimpaired.” The patio is accessory to the site and could be removed in the future without affecting the form and integrity of the primary structure. The addition of the patio area would be a contemporary design for the site, but would not detract from the historic nature of the area considering the noncontributing status of the building within the Historic Overlay Zone . According to Section

17.48.150(B)(9), “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.” Expansion of the structure will not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material . The addition will be compatible with the design of the site and the surrounding neighborhood .

Scuppers and d ownspouts will be located on the patio cover facing Harris St reet. Downspouts may be placed on the posts of the patio cover, but should be inconspicuous. As stated in Section

17.48.150(C)(3)(e), “g utters, downspouts and flashings should be inconspicuous. ” Staff recommends a condition of approval to require that all scuppers and downspouts on site shall be inconspicuous.

The applicant is proposing the installation of a trash enclosure on site, as required by the Public Works Department for a new business . Pursuant to Section 17.48.150(B)(9), “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structur es or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborho od or environment.” The addition is minor and will not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material. “Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to buildings, structures or sites shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the building, structure or site would be unimpaired.” (17.48.150(B)(10)) If the trash enclosure were to be removed, the essential form and integrity of the site would be unimpaired.

The doors and windows on the building façade are proposed to be modified. The proposal will reflect the interior layout of the building. There are at present four doors on the façade, two facing Seventh Street. and two facing Harris Street. Also at present, there are two small windows facing Seventh Street, three large window areas facing Harris Street, a large window facing the alley, and one transom window above each door facing Harris Street. Proposed are one door facing Harris Street, two doors facing the alley, two large windows on each side of the door facing Harris Street, two smaller windows facing Harris Street, one of which will act as a pass -thru window to serve customers their meal, and one transom window above the door along Harris Street. As

Page 55 of 665 ends

stated in Section 17.48.150(B)(1), “every reasonable effort shall be made to use the building, structure or site for its originally intended purpose or for a compatible use which requires minimum alteration of the building, structure or site.” Due to the layout of the interior, additional building space is necessary in order to ensure the kitchen and restrooms are adequately accommodated on site. The relocation of door and window openings on the façade would reflect this interior layout. Pursuant to Section 17.48.150(B)(10), “wherever possible, new additions or alterations to buildings, structures or sites shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the building, structure or site would be unimpaired.” The relocation of door and window openings would not impair the essential form and integrity of the building, since the building will retain its relatively smaller appearance in comparison to surrounding buildings and its location set back from all surrounding streets and alleys. Additionally, the building is noncontributing to the Historic Overlay Zone, therefore the proposed façade of the structure will not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material. In accordance with Section 17.48.150(B)(9), “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of t he property, neighborhood or environment.”
In regards to reducing the amount of door and window spac e, per Section 17.48.150(C)(2)(c), “the original proportions of wall openings should be retained. The blocking of any existing opening to accommodate standard sash and glass sizes, to hide ceilings lowered beneath the tops of existing windows, or for any other reason should not be allowed.” The number and size of doors and windows will be reduced. Due to the layout of the interior, the modification of the doors and necessary, but not to the extent proposed. Staff recommends that the frontage along Harris Street maintain two door openings and provide additional window coverage to the maximum extent feasible in relation to the layout of the interior , in order to maintain the same door and window proportions as closely as possible. Transom window space shall be maintained above both doors facing Harris Street. Considering the deterioration of the vacant building over time, some door and window materials must be replaced. According to Section 17.48.150 (B)(6), “deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired, rather than replaced, wherever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities.” The features of the new doors and windows shall match as closely as possible in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities to the existing remaining door and window materials.

The applicant is proposing to use the following colors:
• Façade base color – Alabaster
• Accent color – Downing Straw
• Roof accent color – Polished Mahogany
• Roof tile – Madera
• Brick on the patio – Tan Terra
Both Downing Straw and Polish Mahogany are historic colors in the Sherwin Williams historic color palette. The brick on the patio will be Tan Terra. While this is only an addition to an existing building, brick is encouraged for new construction. The color of the brick will be similar to the brick façades common in the Historic District. As stated in Section 17.48.150(E)(1)(a), “exterior colors should harmonize with other colors on the same building and on the streetscape. Exterior colors should complement the colors of neighboring buildings and should be selected to be mutually

Page 56 of 665 ends

supportive and beneficial to the overall historic character of the streetscape .” Likewise , while Alabaster and Madera are not traditional historic colors, they complement existing façade colors common in the Historic District . Per Section 17.48.150(E)(1)(a), “ during the early twentieth century, muted colors and earth colors were favored. They included gray, dark brown, dark green, blue gray, beige, brick red, and terra cotta. A slightly grayish-white paint, was frequently used for major surface areas and for details. This grayish-white is an appropriate choice for window sash and frames and for other details. ” Alabaster is a grayish -white color, while madera is an earth tone color. Staff is supportive of the color requests, since this is designated as a noncontributing building within the Historic Overlay Zone and the chosen shades complement existing colors found within the Historic District.

Signage is proposed along the façades facing Harris and Seventh Streets. All signage for this site shall comply with the standards set in Sections 17.48 and 17.56 of the Hanford Municipal Code.

On a corner lot, businesses may have a sign on each street . Per Sections 17.48.150(E)(2)(b)(i) and (ii), “e ach ground floor tenant may have a maximum of one (1) square foot of signage for each linear foot of business establishment on his/her primary frontage (that portion of the building occupied by the business which faces a street and contains the main entrance), with a twenty - five (25) square foot minimum sign area, regardless of the width of such primary frontage . Each ground floor tenant may have a maximum of one-half (1/2) square foot of signage for each linear foot of secondary frontage (that portion of the building occupied by the business and facing an alley, street, adjacent building, parking lot, or the like).” The primary frontage faces Harris Street, while the secondary frontage faces Seventh Street. One additional sign is also permitted “at each entrance attached below the marquee or canopy which shall not exceed six (6) square feet per sign face and with a minimum ground clearance of seven (7) feet above the sidewalk grade. Such sign shall not count against the maximum sign area allowed for a business frontage.” (17.48.150(E)(2)(b)(iii)) All signage shall meet the stated size requirements. If required standards are not met, proposed signage shall be reviewed by City Council through a new historic resources permit. One sign is proposed above the patio roof. All signage shall be located below the cornice line, and all roof -mounted signs shall be precluded, as stated in Section 17.48.150(E)(2)(a).

Additionally, per Section 17.56.050(A)(5), “s igns extending above or beyond the face of the building, the fascia of the roof, the peak of a pitched roof, or the parapet line of a flat roof ” are prohibited. Staff recommends the removal of all proposed signage above the patio roof.

The applicant proposes to maintain the existing shape of the roof, while placing tiles and additional roof-mounted equipment on the building. As stated in Section 17.48.150(C)(4)(b), “contemporary roofing materials shall be acceptable. Where roofs are visible, roofing materials should be dark.” The proposed roof tiles will be similar in appearance to other roof tiles in the Historic District, including the roofs for Salmon's Furniture Galleries (112 E. Seventh St.), Crossroads Appliances (122 W. Seventh St.), and Kings Gospel Mission thrift shop (126 W. Seventh St.), and will be dark in color. The new roof -mounted equipment will include vents and a make -up air unit. This equipment will ensure proper ventilation of the building. According to Section 17.48.150(E)(3), “roof-mounted equipment should be located so that it is not generally visible from the adjoining streets or alleys and does not detract from the lines of the building.” Visibility from adjoining streets will be reduced to the maximum extent possible in order to ensure the equipment does not detract from the lines of the building. There is existing roof-mounted equipment visible from the adjoining streets, and all new equipment will not exceed the visibilit y of the existing equipment. As stated in Section 17.48.150(B)(9), “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.” Since the building is designated as a noncontributing building within the Historic Over lay Zone,

Page 57 of 665 ends

this alteration would not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material. Th e addition of this roof-mounted equipment would also ensure the health, safety, and general welfare of any building occupants.

The existing parking areas in the front and the rear of the site will be restriped and landscaped.

The parking areas have not been adequately maintained since the closure of the most recent business on site. Five standard spaces and one ADA space will be provided on site. Vehicular access will be removed from Seventh Street, but will be provided from Harris Street and the alley.

There is some landscaping provided adjacent to the existing parking areas. New landscaping will be provided in accordance with Section 17.54.180, which states that “p arking areas are to have one (1) tree placed at every four (4) lineal parking spaces. Landscaped areas shall be distributed throughout the parking area and peripheral areas to the extent practical in consideration of the size and design of the parking area.” Since the site is noncontributing to the Historic Overlay Zone and the existing on-site space surrounding the building was utilized for parking in the past, staff is supportive of the request to restripe the parking spaces and distribute landscaping through the site accordingly. Section 17.48.150(B)(9) states that “contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing buildings, structures or site shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatibl e with the size, scale, color, materials and character of the property, neighborhood or environment.” The alterations would not destroy any significant historical, architectural, or cultural material, and would be compatible with the design of the site.

The overall proposed design does not detract from or affect any significant historic attributes, since the structure is designated as a noncontributing building within the Historic Overlay Zone and has been altered since original construction. The original design of the building could not be determined, so any alterations will be in keeping with the design of the rest of the building.

According to Section 17.48.150(C)(1)(c), “where the original design cannot be determined or where financial considerations preclude full-scale rehabilitation of a store front which has already been altered, a design which is not a pure rehabilitation but which is in keeping with the design of the rest of the building may be appropriate.” Since the site will be converted into a r estaurant, additional kitchen and restroom space is necessary, which will require the relocation of the doors and windows on the building, as well as the construction of a trash enclosure and the addition of roof-mounted equipment. Per Section 17.48.080, City Council is granted the authority to approve deviations from the provisions of Section 17.48 if they find that the deviation is necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter and that the deviation will not adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Hanford . Generally, every reasonable effort shall be made to use the building, structure or site for its originally intended purpose or for a compatible use which requires minimum alteration of the building, structure or site. Considering the need to construct additional kitchen and restroom space and the long -term vacancy and deterioration of the building, staff is supportive of the request to expand the structure and allow alterations in order to use the building as a restaurant, except for any alterations expressly prohibited in the Hanford Muni cipal Code. Overall, in accordance with Section 17.48.150(B)(2), “the distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural feature should be avoided when possible .” Since the site is noncontributing, there are no distinguishing qualities. No historic material or distinctive architectural features will be removed with the modification of the site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is a request by the Kings Art Center to paint a mural onto the exterior wall of an existing building. A mural shall be defined as the following:

“Wall mural” or “mural” means an art form consisting of paint applied to a wall surface depicting a scene, personal experience or observation. A wall mural is to be public art, not for the purpose of identifying , advertising or drawing attention to a particular business, service or economic activity. For the purpose of regulation, hand painted signs on walls that contain commercial speech are considered signs and are not considered murals. Wall painting that has not been approved through a mural permit is considered graffiti.

As shown in Attachment 1, the mural depicts a variety of art tools and will be painted onto a portion of the west-facing wall of 605 N. Douty Street with an exterior vinyl paint. In accordance with Hanford Municipal Code Section 17.56.230, no person shall paint a wall mural on the exterior of any structure or change any existing mural on the exterior of any structure prior to the issuance of a wall mural permit issued by the City Council.

Mural Description

The mural is approximately 7 feet x 12 feet in size and will be located near the front entrance of the building, facing Douty Street. The design consists of various artistic tools, including two paint brushes, a pencil, and a pair of scissors. A blue and cyan paint streak extends from the larger paint brush. Each tool is primarily painted blue and cyan, all set against an orange background .

The colors of the mural match the colors of the Kings Art Center logo.

At the suggestion of the City Attorney, wall murals shall only need to satisfy the following design criteria of Section 17.56.230(I) of the Hanford Municipal Code.

1. Have a plan for painting the mural that ensures the safety of painters and the public, and that does not impede public access. In the event that the safety pla n submitted is not being adhered to, and the City has identified a safety risk to either the artist and/or the

Page 99 of 665 ends

public, the City has the right to stop work until such time that safety issues or concerns are addressed by the artist.

ANALYSIS: The artist shall use a boom lift and ladders to safely access any area on the building out of reach. The applicant will also use caution tape to secure the work area to prevent passersby from disturbing the work area. The area of work is set back from the right-of-way, h owever, if necessary, a ny use of the public right -of-way will require approval of an encroachment permit by the Public Works Department.

2. To the extent feasible, the mural shall be vandal and graffiti resistant by using an approved graffiti/UV coating.

ANALYSIS: A condition of approval shall be that to the extent feasible, the mural shall be vandal and graffiti resistant by using an approved graffiti/UV coating.

All enforceable design criteria for wall murals stated in Section 17.56.230(I) are satisfied.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL

In accordance with Section 17.56.230 of the Hanford Municipal Code, staff recommends approval of Mural No. 0001-23 and that the following findings are made:

1. That the proposal is consistent with the intent of development standards for wall murals.

2. That the mural preserves and enhances the visual attractiveness of the City for residents, businesses, and visitors.

3. That the request will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of Hanford.

RECOMMENDATION – CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

The City Council shall identify conditions of approval for the issuance of a wall mural permit.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Mural No. 0001 -23, subject to the following conditions:

1. That approval of this project does not exempt compliance with all applicable sections of the Zoning Ordinance, Public Works Improvement Standards, fees, or other City Ordinances.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: 7/18/2023 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR

SUBJECT:

Adoption of Resolution 23-24-R, approving the Annual Engineer's Report and Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 as outlined in the Annual Engineer’s Report, which has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The proposed assessments outlined in the Engineer’s Report are less than or equal to the authorized maximum assessment for each landscape assessment district.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council adopt Resolution 23-24-R, approving the Annual Engineer's Report and Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 as outlined in the Annual Engineer’s Report, which has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 3 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. The proposed assessments outlined in the Engineer’s Report are less than or equal to the authorized maximum assessment for each landscape assessment district.

Recommended Motion: Adopt Resolution 23-24-R approving the Annual Engineer's Report and declaring its intention to levy and collect assessments for established landscape assessment districts.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Chapter 3 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act”), an Annual Engineer’s Report addressing adjustments based on a review of the costs of maintenance of public improvements must be prepared and submitted to the City Council for action. The Streets and Highway Code, as referenced in the Act, requires the holding of a public hearing for Landcape Districts identified in the Annual Engineer’s Report as showing an increase, decrease, or no change in the annual assessment amount.

At the regular City Council meeting on August 1, 2023, a public hearing will be held; the City Council shall consider all public input before taking final action on confirming and levying the assessments proposed in the Annual Engineer’s Report. Regarding the Districts identified in the Annual Engineer’s Report as showing an increase in the annual assessment amount, the City Council must consider all protests against the proposed increase in the assessment amount and tabulate any protests delivered to the City before the close of the public hearing. Per Article XXX D, Section 4 of the California Constitution, if the ballots submitted in opposition to the increased assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the increased assessment, the assessment amount shall not be increased. If the increase in the assessment to maintain the current level of service for the existing landscape area is voted down, the current level of service may be reduced. In tabulating the protests, the protests shall be weighed according to the proportional financial obligation of each affected parcel

Page 107 of 665 ends

The Annual Engineer’s Report also provides the following information as required by Article XIII D, Section 4 of the California Constitution:

1. Identifies all real property parcels with a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which the assessment will be imposed.

2. Determines the appropriate special benefit derived by each parcel of the real property in relation to the entirety of the cost of maintenance of the public improvements.

3. Identifies the special benefit conferred on each parcel of real property.

4. Establishes that the assessment imposed on each parcel of real property does not exceed the reasonable cost of the proportionate special benefit conferred on that parcel of real property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total balance of levies across all landscape assessment districts is $944,323. The summary of the assessments is included in the Engineer's Report.

In accordance with Proposition 218 and over the entire general benefit, the City's general benefit contribution is $29,869. This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the District assessments, would provide benefits to the general public and to the properties both within and outside of the specific Districts. The cost of providing this baseline service along with a five percent (5%) cost factor for City overhead and administration is treated as the cost of general benefit from landscape maintenance services.

Report Content and Annual Proceedings
This Consolidated Engineer’s Report (the “ Report”) has been prepared pursuant to Chapter 1, Article 4 and Chapter 3 of the 1972 Act, and presented to the City Council for their consideration and approval of the proposed improvements and services to be provided within the Districts and the levy and collection of annual assessments related thereto for fiscal year 2023/2024. This Report generally describes the improvements, and proposed assessments to be levied in connection with the special benefits the properties will receive from the maintenance and servicing of the improvements within each of the designated Districts for fiscal year 2023/2024. The annual assessments to be levied on properties within these Districts provide a source of funding to fund in whole or in part, the continued operation and maintenance of the landscaping improvements or landscaping and lighting improvements and services to be provided by the City through the Districts that provide special benefits to the properties within each of those Districts and respective developments.

Each fiscal year, the City establishes the District’s assessments based on an estimate of the costs to maintain, operate and service the authorized District improvements and based upon available revenues including assessment revenues, fund balances, general benefit contributions and any additional City contributions from available sources . The costs of the improvements and the proposed annual assessments budgeted and assessed against properties within the District may include, but are not limited to the est imated expenditures for regular annual maintenance and repairs; incidental expenditures related to the operation and administration of the District; deficits or surpluses from prior years (fund balance); revenues from other sources; and the collection of funds for operational reserves and/or periodic repairs, replacements and rehabilitation projects as authorized by the 1972 Act. The net annual cost to provide the improvements for each District are allocated to the benefiting properties within each District respectively based on an established method of apportionment (refer to Assessment Methodology in Section II, Method of Apportionment) that calculates the proportional special benefit and assessment for each parcel within those Districts. Thus, each parcel is assessed proportionately for only those improvements, services, and expenses for which the parcel receives special benefit.

The word “parcel,” for the purposes of this Report, refers to an individual property assigned its own Assessor’s Parcel Number (“APN”) by the Kings County Assessor’s Office. The Kings County Auditor/Controller uses APNs and specific Fund Numbers to identify properties to be assessed on the tax roll for the District assessments.

At a noticed annual Public Hearing, the City Council will accept all public comments and written protests regarding the District s and the annual levy of assessments. Based on those public comments and written protests, the City Council may order amendments to the Report or confirm the Report as submi tted. Following final approval of the Report and confirmation of the assessments, the City Council will by Resolution, order the improvements to be made and confirm the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2023/2024 pursuant to the 1972 Act. The assessment for each parcel as approved will be placed on the fiscal year 2023/2024 property tax roll by the Kings County Auditor/Controller and collected together and in the same manner as other property taxes for such parcels.

As required by the 1972 Act, this Engineer’s Report describes the improvements to be provided, maintained, and serviced by the District s, an estimated budget for the improvements for each District, and the proposed assessments to be levied upon each assessable lot or parcel within those Districts for fiscal year 2023/2024.

Hanford Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts
Engineer’s Annual Report
Fiscal Year 2023/2024

Page 3 ends

This Report consists of five (5) parts:

Part I
Plans and Specifications: This section contains a general description of the District s, and the improvements and services that provide special benefits to the parcels within those Districts. The improvements and appurtenant facilities that provide special benefits to the properties within the Districts and for which parcels are assessed may include, but not limited to local landscaping, neighborhood parks, basins, street lights, and related amenities as well as associated incidental expenses (City Administration expenses and County Fees), and fund balances authorized by the 1972 Act. The plans and specifications contained in this Report generally describe the nature and extent of the improvements . More detailed information regarding the specific plans and specifications associated with the improvements in each District may be on file in the Public Works Department and by reference are made part of this Report.

Part II
Method of Apportionment: This section includes a discussion of the general and special benefits associated with the improvements to be provided within the District s (Benefit Analysis), which includes a discussion of the proportional costs of the special benefits and a separation of costs considered to be of general benefit (and therefore not assessed). This section of the Report also outlines the basis upon which the estimated costs to provide such improvements are apportioned to each parcel of land within the Districts in proportion to the special benefits to be received. (the method of calculating each property’s proportional special benefit assessment ). This method of apportionment is consistent with the previously approved and adopted method of apportionment for each District.

Part III
Estimate of Costs : Identifies the estimated annual funding costs ( budgets) required for the maintenance and operation of the improvements in each of the Districts, including, but not limited to, annual maintenance and service expenses, utility costs, related incidental expenses, and fund balances authorized by the 1972 Act and deemed appropriate to support the improvements, even though not all costs identified in these budgets are necessarily supported fully by the current assessment revenues. Those improvements and/or costs determined to be of general benefit shall be funded by a City contribution. In addition to the general benefit costs, the City may provide additional funding to support the maintenance and operation of the improvements considered to be of special benefit. Ultimately, City staff shall make the determination of which improvements, and the extent of the services and activities that shall be provided based on available revenues.

This section also identifies and outlines an Assessment Range Formula (inflationary adjust) that has been previously approved and adopted for specified Districts (most but not all Districts), which provides for an annual adjustment to the maximum assessment rates, which establishes limits on future assessments, but also provides for reasonable cost adjustments due to inflation.

Part I - Plans and Specifications
The purpose of th e Districts (collectively the LLMD) is to provide in part through annual assessments, funding for the ongoing installation, maintenance, operation, and servicing of local landscaping, neighborhood parks, and related appurtenant facilities and services in s pecified areas of the City as well as local street lighting within some Districts. The territory within each District consists of all lots or parcels of land that receive special benefits from the installation, maintenance, operation and servicing of the local public improvements and related amenities associated with the developments and Tracts within each of those Districts.

Description of Improvements
As authorized by the 1972 Act, the improvements provided by the Districts and associated with each development incorporate various local improvements and/or street lighting and related amenities installed in connection with the development of those properties and are maintained and serviced for the benefit of real property within those developments. Improvements provided within the Districts may include but are not limited to:
➢ Landscaping and related facilities and amenities located within designated street medians, parkway and streetscape side -panels, and entryways within the public right of ways or easements adjacent to public right of ways; and within public places including greenbelt areas, open spaces, and neighborhood parks within each respective District. These improvements may include, but are not limited to:
• various landscape materials such as trees, turf, shrubs, vines, ground cover, annual or perineal plantings;
• irrigation and drainage systems including but not limited to pipes, fixtures, controllers, and water and electrical meters;
• specified amenities such as monuments, ornamental lighting, block walls, retaining walls, or other fencing;
• hardscape surfaces and area s including decomposed granite, mulch, asphalt, stamped concrete, pavers, and other trail and/or path surfaces; and • recreational amenities within the parks, parks/basins, trails, or greenbelts that may include benches, play structures, picnic or other recr eational facilities, signage, and related appurtenances.

The maintenance of these improvements may include, but is not limited to the scheduled mowing, trimming, pruning, fertilization, pest control, weed and graffiti abatement; installation, replacement, and rehabilitation of the landscaping ; repair or replacement of irrigation or drainage systems; and repair or replacement of hardscape improvements and recreational amenities.
➢ Street lighting improvements located in the public right of ways within and on the perimeter of the developments associated with specific Districts and the parcels and developments therein.

The work to be perf ormed within each respective District may include but is not limited to (as applicable), the personnel, materials, equipment, electricity, water, contract services, repair and rehabilitation of the improvements, and incidental expenses. The City Public Wor ks Department shall authorize and schedule such maintenance and servicing as needed and based on available funding.

Specific District Improvements and Services
As previously noted, there are forty -three (43) designated Districts within the City for which assessments are proposed to be levied and collected to maintain, operate and service the proposed improvements for fiscal year 2023/2024. The boundaries of each District are established on the basis of the location, extent and types of improvements being maintained and the proximity and direct benefit those specific improvement provide to the immediately surrounding developments, planned developments, and parcels, as well as th e nexus and observation that the developments and/or planned development of the properties within the each District clearly required or otherwise facilitated the installation of the improvements to be maintained and that such improvements (both landscaping and lighting) would otherwise not be necessary if not for the development of those properties. Therefore, the benefit s to the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements were constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within each respective District are clearly particular and distinct (special benefits).

Landscape Service Levels
As part of the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements associated with each District, the City has established various maintenance frequency referred to as S ervice Levels. These Service Levels provide general guidelines for how often the landscape improvement areas are serviced based on over all maintenance needs and/or available assessment funding. For most Districts, the various landscape improvements or improvement areas within a District are maintained at the same level of service, but in some Districts two or more Service Levels may be applicable based on the nature and/or location of the improvements.

At present, the City has established five Service Levels summarized as follows:
➢ Service Level A – Landscape improvements are serviced every week; ➢ Service Level B – Landscape improvements are serviced e very week (March through October) and every two weeks (November through February); ➢ Service Level C – Landscape improvements are serviced every two weeks; ➢ Service Level D – Landscape improvements are serviced every two weeks (March through October) and every four weeks (November through February); and ➢ Service Level E – Landscape improvements are serviced once every month.

Currently all improvements in the District are maintained at Service Levels A, B, C or D.

Part II - Method of Apportionment
Legislative Requirements for Assessments
The estimated costs to provide the proposed improvements for fiscal year 2023/2024 have been identified and allocated to properties within the Districts based on special benefit, consistent with the requirements of the 1972 Act and the assessment provisions of Proposition 218 (being contained in Article XIII D of the California Constitution ). The improvements provided by th ese Districts and for which properties are assessed include local parks, basins, landscaping, and lighting improvements, as well as related amenities . The formula s used for calculating assessments within the designated Districts herein reflect the composition of parcel s and the improvements and services to be provided and fairly apportion the cost of providing those improvements based on a determination of the proportional special benefits to each parcel.

Provisions of the 1972 Act
The 1972 Act permits the establishment of assessment districts by agencies for the purpose of providing certain public improvements, including the acquisition, construction, installation and servicing of landscape improvements and related facilities. The 1972 Act requires that the cost of these improvements be levied according to benefit rather than assessed value:

Section 22573 defines the net amount to be assessed as follows:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Provisions of the California Constitution
In addition to the provisions of the 1972 Act, the Article XIII D of the California Constitution outlines specific requirements regarding assessments including the following:

Article XIII D Section 2d defines District as follows:
“District means an area determined by an agen cy to contain all parcels which will receive a special benefit from a proposed public improvement or property-related service”; Article XIII D Section 2i defines Special Benefit as follows:
“Special benefit” means a particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real property located in the district or to the public at large. General enhancement of property value does not constitute “special benefit.” Article XIII D Section 4a defines proportional special benefit assessments as follows:
“An agency which proposes to levy an assessment shall identify all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed. The proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the property related service being provided. No assessment shall be imposed on any parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel.”

Benefit Analysis
Special Benefits
Landscaping Special Benefit
The ongoing maintenance of landscaped areas within the various Districts addressed in this Report, provide aesthetic benefits to the properties and a more pleasant environment to walk, drive, live , and/or work. The primary function of these landscape improvements and related amenities is to serve as an aesthetically pleasing enhancement and green space for the benefit of the immediately surrounding properties and developments for which the improvements wer e constructed and installed and/or were facilitated by the development or potential development of properties within each respective District. These landscape improvements are an integral part of the physical environment associated with the parcels in each District and while some of the improvements may in part be visible to properties outside the District, collectively if the District improvements are not properly maintained, it is the parcels within the District that would be aesthetically burdened. Additionally, the many of the landscaped areas being maintained in these Districts serve as both a physical buffer as well as a sound reduction buffer between the roadways and/or railroad and the properties within the District and also serve as a pleasant aesth etic amenity that enhances the approach to the parcels. In some Districts, the landscaped areas may include green space areas (neighborhood parks, park/basins, greenbelts, open space and/or trails) that may provide a physical buffer between properties, ove rall open space within a development, and/or recreational areas that serve as an extension of the physical attributes of the parcels being assessed. Thus, the maintenance of these landscape improvements and the related amenities provide particular and dis tinct benefit s to the properties and developments associated with those improvements within each District.

Street Lighting Special Benefit
The street lighting (localized street lighting) is primarily useful for illuminating the sidewalks and parking lanes on the streets used specifically to access the properties and/or is adjacent to those properties that comprise each particular District. This lighting is distinct from lights that may be installed that serve in large part to enhance traffic safety, such as traffic signals and intersection safety lights or the more sporadic lighting found on major thoroughfares outside the more concentrated development areas. These localized street lights tend to be more closely spaced and of a lower intensity than street lights installed primarily for traffic safety. These low -level, lower-intensity street lights within a designated District provide three main special benefits: (i) property security benefit, (ii) pedestrian safety benefit, and (iii) parkway/roadway egress benefit.

Because traffic to and from these parcels is largely limited to the residents and residents’ guests, it is reasonable to assume that essentially all pedestrians and parking vehicles in the lit areas will, after dark, be directly associated with the properties in th at District and that the vehicular traffic on those streets is primarily for accessing the properties within that area. Therefore, street lighting on such streets is entirely a special benefit to those properties.

In addition, the street lights for which properties within the District s may be assessed, are consistent with the City’s typical intensity and spacing standards for areas zoned for residential development and ea ch parcel to be assessed is served directly by the system of street lights providing appropriate lighting within these respective development areas. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining and operating each light is substantially the same, regardless of its location within the District. Consequently, we conclude that each parcel to be assessed for street lighting receives substantially similar benefit from the street light improvements and the only notable distinctions in proportional special benefit to each parcel is related to the specific quantity of lights associated with each District.

General Benefit
Landscaping General Benefit
In reviewing the location and extent of the specific landscaped areas and improvements to be funded by each District’s assessments and the proximity and relationship to properties to be assessed in each District, it is evident these improvements were primarily installed in connection with the development of properties therein or are improvements that would otherwise be shared by and required for development of properties in each respective District. It is also ev ident that the maintenance of these improvements and the level of maintenance provided has a direct and particular impact (special benefit) only on those properties in proximity to those improvements .

Furthermore, such maintenance beyond that which is required to ensure the safety and protection of the general public and property in general, has no quantifiable benefit to the public at large or properties outside each respective District.

In the absence of a special funding District, the City would typicall y provide only limited (as needed) tree management, weed abatement, rodent control, and erosion control services for the landscape areas currently maintained within each District. This baseline level of service would typically provide for periodic servicin g of the improvement areas on an as -needed basis, but typically not more than twice annually. This baseline level of service provides for public safety and essential property protection to avoid negative impacts on adjacent roadways and vehicles traveling on those roadways and potential property damage resulting from erosion or fire hazards but results in a far less visually pleasing environment than is created with the enhanced levels of services associated with the regular landscape maintenance provided in the various Districts. For most agencies, the cost to provide this baseline level of service for mostly flat or moderately- sloped street landscaped areas (landscaping within the street right-of way) is less than $560 per acre (approximately $0.01285 per square foot) including medians, parkway and streetscape side panels; less than $448 per acre (approximately $0.01028 per square foot) for non -street public areas such as parks, park/basins, greenbelts, and trail areas; and less than $224 per acre (approximately $0.00514 per square foot) for natural open space areas or other limited access areas such as enclosed basin areas . This baseline servicing, unlike the enhanced aesthetic services funded through the District assessments, would provide benefits to the general public and to the properties both within and outside of the specific Districts. The cost of providing this baseline service along with a five percent (5%) cost factor for City overhead and administration is treated as the cost of general benefit from landscape maintenance services. Therefore, for mostly flat or moderately-sloped street landscaped areas a rate of $0.01349 per square foot ($0.01285 +5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for t he assessed improvements; for non - street public areas a rate of $0.01079 per square foot ($0.01028 +5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements; and for non -street public areas a rate of $0.00540 per square foot ($0.00514 +5%) is applied to calculate the general benefit costs for the assessed improvements. Collectively these baseline general benefit costs are funded by the City and excluded from the potential assessment funding and are shown in the District budgets (Part III of this Report) as “General Benefit.”

Street Lighting General Benefit
For fiscal year 2023/2024, not all Districts are assessed for street light improvements. While potentially, some street lights associated with a given District, may be located at the entryway or on the perimeter of the development(s) within the District and may arguably provide some illumination that extends beyond the boundaries of the developments and parcels being assessed, and may indirectly enhance the safety of members of the public unassociated with the assessed parcel s (illuminating traffic lanes and/or parking on those perimeter streets), such benefits are considered an indirect consequence of the special benefits to properties within the Districts. Furthermore, if the properties within the Districts were not developed , any street lights that may be located at the entryways or on the perimeter of the developments would not have been installed. Clearly these street lights exist solely because of the development of assessed parcels, and the primary purpose of these lights is to provide illumination to access the assessed parcels, Therefore we conclude that the cost of providing the street lights within the existing Districts are entirely a special benefit to the properties being assessed in each District and there is no quantifiable general benefit to properties outside the Districts or the public at large.

Assessment Methodology
To assess benefits equitably it is necessa ry to calculate each property’s proportionate special benefits conferred by the funded improvements and service. The Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) method of assessment apportionment is commonly utilized for assessment districts formed under the 1972 Act, as the benefit to each parcel from the improvements may be apportioned as a function of comparable property characteristics which utilizes a basic unit (base value) of benefit and then calculates the benefit derived by each asses sed parcel either at that base unit or as a multiple (or a fraction) of that basic unit. In accordance with the provisions of the California Constitution and the 1972 Act, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel within the vario us Districts shall be determined in relationship to the entirety of the cost to maintain, operate and service the improvements within each District. Consistent with the method of apportionment established at the formation of each District, it has been dete rmined that the developments and/or planned development of the properties within each District required or facilitated the installation of the improvements to be funded in whole or in part by the District assessments and that such improvements (both landsc aping and lighting) would otherwise not be necessary and those improvements benefit each lot/parcel equally. Therefore, collectively the particular and distinct benefits to each lot/parcel within each respective District are equally shared and one hundred percent (100%) of the fiscal year 2023/2024 special benefit expenses is proportionately and equally allocated and shared by each development lot and each of these parcels/lots are assigned one (1.0) EBU, excluding parcels or lots that may be part of the improvement areas being maintained.

Calculation of Assessments
An assessment amount per Lot or Equivalent Benefit Unit (EBU) in each District is calculated by:

Taking the “Total Annual Expenses” (Total budgeted costs) and subtracting the “General Benefit” (Expenses Funded by the City), to establish the “Special Benefit Expenses”; Total Annual Expenses - General Benefit = Special Benefit Expenses To the resulting “Special Benefit Expenses”, various “Funding Adjustments” may be applied that may include, but are not limited to:
➢ “Reserve Fund Collection or (Transfer)”, represents an amount being collected and added to the Reserve Fund or available existing Reserve Funds being applied (“Transferred”) to pay a portion of the Special Benefit Expenses for the fiscal year. ➢ “City Loan and/or Service Reductions”, represents a further adjustment that addresses the funding gap between the amount budgeted to provide the improvements and services (“Special Benef it Expenses ”); and the amount that will be collected through the assessments. This funding gap may be addressed by an additional City contribution, reductions in service and service expenses, or a combination of the two. If the City provides an additional City Contribution to support the operation and maintenance for a given fiscal year, that contribution is carried forward as a deficit applied to the Beginning Fund Balance in the next fiscal year.

These adjustments to the Special Benefit Expenses result in the net special benefit amount to be assessed “Balance to Levy”;
Special Benefit Expenses +/- Funding Adjustments = Balance to Levy The amount identified as the “Balance to Levy” is divided by the total number of Lots or EBUs for the parcels that receive special benefit to establish the “Assessment Rate” for the fiscal year. This Rate is then applied back to each parcel’s individual EBU to calculate the parcel’s proportionate special benefit and assessment for the improvements.

Balance to Levy / Total Lots/EBUs = Assessment Rate (for the fiscal year) Assessment Rate x Parcel’s EBU = Parcel Assessment Amount
