AGENDA

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 8/6/2024 AGENDA SECTION: STUDY SESSION
SUBJECT:

Presentation to the City Council regarding potential expansion and improvements of Hidden Valley Park and direction as appropriate.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council receive the presentation and provide direction on any future actions.

Recommended Motion:

BACKGROUND:

The expansion of Hidden Valley Park has been a source of debate among past City Councils and within the community for many decades. As part of the General Plan Update in 2017, the Council approved the re-zoning of the vacant 18 acres from Low-Density Residential to Open Space. In 2021, the City Council directed staff to move forward with the feasibility of re-zoning the property back to Open Space. Because the re-zoning would lower the number of acres available for housing units in the City of Hanford, additional acreage must be found elsewhere in the City to comply with the current state housing laws.

In 2023, the Council allocated $75,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act funding and directed staff to conduct community outreach to determine the types of amenities, develop conceptual drawings, and estimate the cost of a reimagined Hidden Valley Park consisting of developing the vacant 18- acre parcel and possible improvements to the existing park.

Staff planned and organized three in-person community engagement events and developed an online survey to solicit the community’s input. A total of 826 responses were collected.

Community Engagement Results:

Recreation Features Support Amenities

1. Walking/biking paths Park lighting

2. Innovative Playground Park restrooms

3. Interactive playground Parking lots

4. Picnic arbors Public art

5. Splash pad Creative park seating

6. Ninja course

7. Basketball courts

8. Fishing pond

9. Golf driving range

10. Pump track
The existing Hidden Valley Park is unique and poses challenges to the design process. Two major topographical features are the Muscle Slough and the Peoples Ditch. Parking, especially on Cortner Ave. is limited, the water feature is a secondary ponding basin, and circulation is problematic.

Staff contracted with the Urban Tree Foundation’s (UTF) Landscape Architect, Greg Mendonza to develop conceptual drawings and consulted with three Landscape Architect to determine probable cost estimates.

Park Development
Park development costs within the region average between $600,000-$800,000 per acre. 18 Acres @ $700,000 = $12.6 Million for Development
Design services are typically 10% of total project costs. In the example above, an additional $1,260,000 would be needed for and
Annual Maintenance
The annual park operations and maintenance costs average between $12,000-$16,000 per acre annually.
$14,00 x 18 acres = $242,000 annually
Update on the Rezoning Process
The City has contracted with Quad-Knopf Engineering to prepare the rezoning of the General Plan Amendment and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) needed for that amendment.

The project is to be processed concurrent with the Heroes Park annexation, General Plan Amendment/Rezoning (GPA/RZ), to offset the loss of housing created from the conversion of LowDensity Housing to Open Space. The required Public Hearings of the Planning Commission and the City Council are anticipated in November 2024.

Authorization to accept and appropriate the funding in the General Fund for the USDA Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Inflation Reduction Act Grant in the amount of $1,000,000 and Authorization for the City Manager to execute the grant agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Accept, appropriate, and authorize the City Manager to execute the grant agreement for the USDA Urban and Community Forestry grant award in the amount of $1,000,000 Recommended Motion: I move to accept, appropriate, and authorize the City Manager to execute the grant agreement for the USDA Urban and Community Forestry grant award in the amount of $1,000,000.

BACKGROUND:

The Hanford Goes Green Project addresses the most pressing needs of Hanford's disadvantaged communities by establishing an Urban and Community Forestry Program that provides equitable tree benefits and creates a healthy urban and community forest by planting 600 trees within disadvantaged communities in Hanford. The USDA Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Inflation Reduction Act funds the program. The Green Latinos are the pass-through partner and will administer the grant for the USDA Forest Service.

This project was initiated by the city's federal lobbyist, Greg Bruns, with Thorn Run Partners. Greg recognized the level of funding appropriated and matched that with Hanford's urban forestry needs.

Through a competitive grant application process, the Hanford Goes Green Program was one of 400 national awardees and the only organization funded within the San Joaquin Valley. The original request was $6,394,115; the USFS reduced the grant awards to fund more projects. Over the past three months, city staff has worked with the Green Latinos to rescope and rescale the program to fit the award amount.

This project will help fund important activities that will lead to developing a comprehensive City-wide Urban Forest Master Plan, which will include important community engagement from historically underrepresented, disadvantaged communities throughout the process. Grant-funded activities will include the following:

1. Comprehensive Tree Inventory

2. Implementation of Tree Inventory Software

3. Development of an Urban Forest MasterPlan

4. Urban Tree Canopy and Land Cover Assessment

5. Socioeconomic/Equity Analysis

6. Urban Heat Island Mapping

7. Tree Health Analysis

8. Climate Vulnerability Analysis

9. Review of Operations and Existing Policies and Ordinances

10. Community Engagement through collaboration with local nonprofits

11. Planting 600 trees in various disadvantaged communities as identified by CEJST, EPA IRA tool and EJ Screen.

The City’s tree planting activities will be carried out in close collaboration with local nonprofits who have strong, established ties within these disadvantaged communities and can help promote engagement and solicit feedback for the City’s tree equity and urban forest needs assessment and the development of the City’s Urban Forest Master Plan.

The City of Hanford is committed to ensuring that native species will be prioritized in all its treeplanting activities and that no known state-listed invasive species will be planted. The City will work closely with ISA-certified arborists from the Urban Tree Foundation and an on-call ISA-certified arborist to guide tree species selection and ensure that the appropriate trees are planted in the right locations. Please refer to the local tree species list and the Master Tree List provided in the Appendix that may be utilized to select tree species planted in specific areas throughout Hanford. The City will also work with its partner organizations, local volunteers, and on-call arborists to ensure the survivability of the trees that are planted through regular watering and routine maintenance, which will eventually be managed by Park Maintenance staff once this project has ended.

In addition to this grant, the City has a pending grant application submitted to Cal Fire, requesting $1,222,525 in funding to expand and improve Hanford's urban forest by planting 500 trees.

Hanford Goes Green
Project Narrative
Purpose
The Hanford Goes Green Project addresses the most pressing needs of Hanford's disadvantaged communities by establishing an Urban and Community Forestry Program that provides equitable tree benefits and creates a healthy urban and community forest through the planting of 600 trees within disadvantaged communities in Hanford, as identified by the following mapping tools (see the attached table of Census Tracts and block groups that will be served with IRA UCF Funding):
o Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)
o EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities Map
o EPA's Environmental Justice Screening and Mapping Tool (Version 2.3)
This project will help fund important activities that will lead to the development of a comprehensive City-wide Urban Forest Master Plan, which will include important community engagement from historically underrepresented, disadvantaged communities throughout the process.

Grant-funded activities will include the following:

1. Comprehensive Tree Inventory

2. Implementation of Tree Inventory Software

3. Development of an Urban Forest Master Plan

4. Urban Tree Canopy and Land Cover Assessment

5. Socioeconomic/Equity Analysis

6. Urban Heat Island Mapping

7. Tree Health Analysis

8. Climate Vulnerability Analysis

9. Review of Operations and Existing Policies and Ordinances

10. Community Engagement through collaboration with local nonprofits

11. Planting 600 trees in various disadvantaged communities as identified by CEJST, EPA IRA tool and EJScreen.

2 The City’s tree planting activities will be carried out in close collaboration with local nonprofits who have strong, established ties within these disadvantaged communities and can help promote engagement and solicit feedback for the City’s tree equity and urban forest needs assessment and the development of the City’s Urban Forest Master Plan.

The City of Hanford is committed to ensuring that native species will be prioritized in all its tree planting activities, and that no known state-listed invasive species will be planted. The City will be working closely with ISAcertified arborists from the Urban Tree Foundation and an on-call ISAcertified arborist for guidance on tree species selection, to ensure that the appropriate trees will be planted in the right locations. Please refer to the local tree species list and the Master Tree List provided in the Appendix that may be utilized for selecting tree species to be planted in specific areas throughout Hanford. The City will also work with its partner organizations, local volunteers and on-call arborist to ensure the survivability of the trees that are planted through regular watering and routine maintenance, which will eventually be managed by Park Maintenance staff once this project has ended.

Activities and Key Outcomes
Year 1
The overarching goal of Year 1 activities is to understand the current reality of Hanford's urban and community forest resources. You can't manage what you don't know you have. Through a formal Request For Proposals (RFP) process, the City will solicit proposals from professional urban foresters for the following:

A needs assessment in disadvantaged areas will be conducted to involve community members in the planning and implementation of an outreach program, ensuring that their voices and perspectives are heard.

The needs assessment will include the following:

1. Comprehensive Tree Inventory and data collection of approximately 20,000 trees within street right-of-ways, parks, and medians.

2. Tree Inventory Software program to develop a comprehensive analysis and composition of the existing trees. The software will also

4 focus on the species composition and diversity, current condition, risk potential for invasive pests, primary environmental benefits, and management needs.

3. Urban Forest Master Plan A comprehensive, City-wide Urban Forestry Master Plan prescribing future planting sites and the number of trees per site.

4. Urban Tree Canopy and Land Cover Assessment to evaluate and gather data based on land cove. We will use object-based image analysis and machine learning to identify canopy cover, impervious surfaces, grass/open space, bare ground, and water. This assessment will also provide the data needed to identify preferred planting sites.

5. Socioeconomic/Equity Analysis – Provide the analysis to explore the relationship between canopy cover and socio-demographic and economic data within the identified census tracts.

6. Urban Heat Island Mapping – Capture the surface temperature essential to monitoring heat islands, air quality, and the overall wellbeing of residents.

7. Tree Health Analysis – Aerial imagery and near-infrared bands are used to assess the urban forest's canopy health and stress areas.

8. Climate Vulnerability Analysis – This information has three primary outcomes: identifying the main climate risks, identifying the vulnerability of trees due to imposing risks, and understanding how residents are impacted.

9. Background and Operations Review – Conduct a thorough review of existing policies and practices governing the care of municipal trees.

A review of current city ordinances, the tree list, and contract specifications will also be conducted.

Year 2
The City of Hanford will develop a tree risk reduction plan in the second year.

Program staff will engage with the community, offering educational workshops on urban and community forestry. The City will plant a total of 600 fifteen-gallon trees within disadvantaged census tracts between years 2 and 3, emphasizing the downtown business district and the new Heroes Park. The

5 City will base its tree species, site selections, and irrigation systems for tree plantings on the guidance provided by the ISA-certified arborists at the Urban Tree Foundation, which has a prior and proven track record of working effectively on tree installations with the City and it’s other partner for this project, the Sequoia Community Corps.

In-kind volunteers will play a substantial role in planting trees in disadvantaged communities. 100% of the grant will be utilized toward the program focusing on the large population of disadvantaged communities in Hanford. Through our robust connections with community volunteers and collaboration with our non-profit partner organizations, we will aggressively engage in outreach efforts and create opportunities for the community to make this program successful and create much-needed equity in the underserved population. All non-federal matching funds provided by the City of Hanford and its project partners will include the tracking of volunteer participation.

The volunteers will be assisting with planting trees and participating in the Arbor Day event to create community awareness, and will also participate in other events to promote the program. These volunteers will be part of a coordinated partnership with the Sequoia Conservation Corps, Urban Tree Foundation and Tree Fresno. They will help with the program's outreach to recruit more volunteers and participants in the training program offered by Sequoia Community Corps. The Sequoia Community Corps is a Local Conservation Corps (LCC) that provides job training and education to young adults between the ages of 18 to 24, and will be engaged to plant most of the trees, alongside community volunteers.

In addition, by the end of Year 2, the Urban Forest Master Plan will be completed. This plan begins with inclusive stakeholder engagement to gather insights and align objectives. Research will encompass historical regulations, policies, and community input. The resulting narrative text, authored by an experienced urban forestry specialist, will encompass various aspects such as programming, policy management, best practices, partnerships, planting strategies, and community engagement.

6 Community engagement will include distributing informational materials digitally through social media and in person during various community events. City staff and Parks and Recreation Commissioners will engage with residents to educate them about the many environmental benefits of trees and volunteer tree planting opportunities. Community feedback from these events will be collected and documented, and incorporated into planning efforts.

Year 3
In year 3, tree planting will continue in conjunction with the Urban Tree Foundation, Tree Fresno and Sequoia Community Corps, by planting fifteengallon trees at the Hanford Softball Complex and the Hanford Soccer Complex. Both locations are within disadvantaged census tracts identified by CEJST. The establishment and ongoing maintenance of the newly planted trees here will be the ongoing responsibility of the Parks Division. The current tree ordinance and the Master Tree List will be reviewed and revised.

Community engagement will continue through outreach events, including the well-attended Thursday Night Farmer's Market Place within Civic Park.

Year 4
Year 4 will be dedicated to closing the program, preparing final reports, and completing final financial documents. In addition, the ongoing scope of work will be analyzed and integrated into the City of Hanford's bi-annual budget to ensure sustainability of the project post-grant funding. The City will actively seek supplemental funding to expand Hanford's urban forest in the future.

See the following Hanford Goes Green Project Gantt Chart

7 Ongoing Tree Maintenance
At the conclusion of the Hanford Goes Green Project, the City of Hanford will allocate park maintenance staff to maintain all trees planted. This will include scheduled inspections, trimming as appropriate, and replacement, if necessary. It is our goal to prepare two park maintenance staff to become certified Arborists. This will ensure the City’s sustainability in maintaining a vibrant urban forest program into the future. In addition, the City will seek additional funding resources to expand its urban forest.

E. CONTRACTUAL
Through a competitive Request For Proposal process, the City of Hanford will contract with a professional tree organization to conduct and deliver the Tree Inventory and tree Canopy Assessment, perform a background and operations review, assist with community engagement, and develop the Urban Forest Master Plan.

Tree Inventory (20,000 trees) - $213,351
Professional arborists and urban foresters will locate trees, stumps, and planting sites (if desired) per the agreed-upon work specification. They evaluate the trees and record the specified data for each site. Tree Inventory data collection will include:
● Location Accuracy: Feld computers and equipment that meet or exceed the project's location accuracy requirements. Our project teams use GIS software and ruggedized computers with GPS receivers capable of sub-meter location accuracy under favorable conditions.

4 ● Individual Tree Inspection Process: Urban foresters inspect each tree from the ground during data collection. They identify the species' tree diameter, assess tree condition, and recommend maintenance. Data collection is done systematically for consistency and is typically done Monday through Saturday during daylight hours.
● Safety: Team members will be outfitted in the necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, high-visibility safety vests, safety glasses, and boots. Additionally, our vehicles are marked with company logos and equipped with first-aid kits, fire extinguishers, and safety cones.

Data Fields
The data fields below will provide the information needed to accomplish the project goals.
● Address/Location: transfer values from the provided or acquired parcel GIS layer, including house address, on-street, and park name (if applicable). X & Y coordinates will be provided through GPS location.
● Species: using botanical and common names and cultivars when appropriate. ● Tree Size: diameter at standard height (DSH) in 1-inch size classes. ● Multi-Stem Tree: noting if a tree has multiple stems. ● Condition: categorized as good, fair, poor, or dead based on signs of stress, poor structure, damage, soil and root problems, disease, and pests. ● Primary Tree Maintenance: assigned as remove, prune, train, discretionary, palm prune (if applicable), stump removal, or plant (if applicable). ● Risk Rating: Collected per the ISA BMP, moderate, low, high, and extreme. ● Defects: including dead and dying branches, broken or hanging branches, branch attachment, trunk condition, cracks, decay or cavity, tree architecture, and root problems.
● Stump Removal: This category indicates a stump that should be removed. ● Overhead Utilities: recording if overhead utilities are present and conflicting, present but not conflicting, or not present.
● Comments/Notes: observations and other pertinent information are recorded. ● Date of Inventory: the date the urban forester collected the data.

Tree Canopy Assessment - $90,456
The Tree Canopy Assessment is needed to give stakeholders valuable insights about Hanford's urban tree canopy. It provides the data required to determine environmental sustainability, urban heat island effects, and other impacts of urban forestry.

5 Using high-resolution GIS data, the Arborist will classify and assess Hanford's tree canopy for growth modeling, priority tree planting, and management of energy conservation, stormwater, and water resource initiatives.

The Components of the Tree Canopy Assessment include:
● Tree Canopy and Land Cover Assessment Mapping
● Historic change
● Land cover metrics
● Ecosystem services
● Stormwater management
● Priority planting plan
● Socioeconomic/Equity Analysis
● Urban heat island mapping
● Relative tree health analysis
● Climate vulnerability analysis
● Report maps
Background and Operations Review - $53,596
The background and operations review will assess the City's policies, ordinances, approved tree list, and the current operations of the Parks Division concerning the overall care of trees within the City. This review will provide valuable information to the City to identify where the City is meeting program goals, gaps, and areas for recommended improvements.

Community Engagement - $ 16,060 x 2 years = $32,120 (years 1 and 2) Community engagement will include the development of a strategic public outreach plan. The Plan will serve as a roadmap, highlighting strategies and tasks to help the City achieve its goals and objectives. The Plan will include a customized online survey to gauge the public's perception of the community's urban forest and its management.

The survey will be available on the project website and can be linked through social media accounts and PSAs.

A Tree Guide will be developed to educate the community on trees, approved tree lists, heritage tree ordinances, and the proper care and maintenance of trees. It will also communicate the value of trees within the community.

6 Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP) - $47,923
In general, an effective UFMP plan will include:
● Vision for the Urban Forest
● Inventories and assessments of the current status of the urban forest ● Strategic Plan: goals, objectives, and actions based on the information analyzed and identified needs
● Community engagement will ensure the improvement of equitable access to tree benefits within the community
● Implementation Plan with specific dates and assigned responsibilities ● A monitoring plan with a system or matrix is used to check effectiveness and revise the UFMP as needed.

Tree Inventory Management Software - $3600 x 3 = $10,800 (3 years of annual subscription)
A proprietary tree inventory management system will be purchased to house all program data, including tree canopy and land cover, to provide a comprehensive view of vegetation distribution, impervious surfaces, and other land cover types. This insight will support informed decisions for stakeholders and the City of Hanford.

Urban Tree Foundation (UTF) - $37,440 (Total for three years) The Urban Tree Foundation has an extensive history in the Kings County region, which includes increasing the canopy, assisting with climate change, and creating healthier communities. The UTF Project Management Support will help the City establish a solid work plan to plant 500 trees.

Year Two: 208 hours @ $72.00 per hour = $14,976
Year Three: 104 hours @ $72.00 per hour = $7,488
Sequoia Community Corps (Local Conservation Corps) - $30,354 (Years two and three)
The Sequoia Community Corps program offers employment training to disadvantaged adolescents in Hanford. Recognizing the need for skill development and career opportunities among this group, the initiative seeks to empower young people by providing them with the training and tools they need to thrive in the labor market. The Sequoia Community Corps is committed to encouraging disadvantaged youth in

7 Hanford via a comprehensive approach to job training, professional development, and life skills. The program strives to break the cycle of unemployment while offering participants the necessary tools and resources to succeed in Hanford's Goes Green. 5 Crew Members @ 702 hours total per year x two years = $30,354.48 Supervisor 702 hours per year @ $33.05 = $23,201.10 x two years = $46,402.20 Systems Software Training - $750 annually x three years = $2,250 Depending on the proprietary tree inventory management system we adopt, ongoing training will be needed to stay current with the program's capabilities and updates. Staff will be trained annually.

Certified Arborist – On call Arborist 520 hours @ $110.00 per hour x two years = $114,400
The Arborist will oversee the program's daily requirements to ensure the program's success. Arborist support is anticipated for Years Two and Three. They will oversee and manage all tree planting cooperatively with City staff, volunteers, and the Sequoia Community Corps.

EXHIBIT F

WHISTLEBLOWER NOTICE
Whistleblowers perform an important service to USDA and the public when they come forward with what they reasonably believe to be evidence of wrongdoing. They should never be subject to reprisal for doing so. Federal law protects federal employees as well as personal services contractors and employees of federal contractors, subcontractors, grantees, and subgrantees against reprisal for whistleblowing. USDA bears the responsibility to ensure that nothing in a non-disclosure agreement which a contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee requires their employees to sign should be interpreted as limiting their ability to provide information to the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
41 USC section 4712 requires the head of each executive agency to ensure that its contractors inform their workers in writing of the rights and remedies under the statute. Accordingly, it is illegal for a personal services contractor or an employee of a federal contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against for making a protected whistleblower disclosure. In this context, these categories of individuals are whistleblowers who disclose information that the individual reasonably believes is evidence of one of the following:
○ Gross mismanagement of a federal contract or grant;
○ A gross waste of federal funds;
○ An abuse of authority relating to a federal contract or grant; ○ A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety; or ○ A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a federal contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract) or grant.

To be protected under 41 USC section 4712, the disclosure must be made to one of the following:
○ A Member of Congress, or a representative of a committee of Congress;
○ The OIG;

○ The Government Accountability Office (GAO);
○ A Federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at USDA;
○ An otherwise authorized official at USDA or other law enforcement agency;
○ A court or grand jury; or
○ A management official or other employee of the contractor, subcontractor, or grantee who has the responsibility to investigate, discover, or address misconduct.

Under 41 USC section4712, personal services contractors as well as employees of contractors, subcontractors, grantees, or subgrantees may file a complaint with OIG, who will investigate the matter unless they determine that the complaint is frivolous, fails to allege a violation of the prohibition against whistleblower reprisal, or has been addressed in another proceeding.

OIG’s investigation is then presented to the head of executive agency who evaluates the facts of the investigation and can order the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee to take remedial action, such as reinstatement or back pay.

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 3.903, Whistleblower Protections for Contractor Employees, Policy, prohibits government contractors from retaliating against a contract worker for making a protected disclosure related to the contract. FAR Subpart 3.909-1 prohibits the Government from using funds for a contract with an entity that requires its employees or subcontractors to sign internal confidentiality statements prohibiting or restricting disclosures of fraud, waste, or abuse to designated persons. This prohibition does not contravene agreements pertaining to classified information. The regulation also requires contracting officers to insert FAR clause 52.203-17, Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement to Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights, in all solicitations and contracts that exceed the Simplified Acquisition Threshold as defined in FAR Subpart 3.908. This clause requires notification to contractor employees that they are subject to the whistleblower rights and remedies referenced in 41 USC section 4712.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Approve the sole source purchase of one (1) Vac-Con TAQD313HE/1300 Titan from Vac-Con Incorporated from Green Cove Springs, Florida using Sourcewell Contract # 101221- VAC for $776,614.39.

Recommended Motion: That, by motion, the City Council approves.

1. Authorization of a sole source purchase of one (1) Vac-Con TAQD312HE/1300 Titan from VacCon Incorporated of Green Cove Springs Florida for the amount of $776,614.39 using Sourcewell Contract #101221-VAC

2. Declare 2009 Vactor truck #174 as surplus and authorize the sale of said truck.

BACKGROUND:

Vactor truck #174 was purchased for $299,902.00 in 2009 and currently has 205,000 miles and a repair cost of $153,445.00. The equipment has exceeded its useful life in its current capacity. The FY 25 budget allocates $346,120.00 from Fleet Reserves and an additional $453,880 from the Storm Drain Fund to purchase a replacement Vac truck.

Staff have contacted Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) and they have facilitated a quote, using Sourcewell contract # 101221-Vac for the purchase of one (1) Vac-Con TAQD312HE Titan Vac truck from Vac-Con Enterprises of Florida for the amount of $776,614.39.

If approved, the order will be placed with Vac-Con Incorporated with the expected delivery date between 180-240 days, depending on chassis component availability during production.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appropriate $66,251.55 from 20500000-825003 (Fleet Reserves Fund) and affirm emergency approval of the sole source quote and authorize repairs for engine replacement in Fire Engine #164 for $66,251.55 with Golden State Peterbilt of Porterville, CA.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: Appropriate $66,251.55 from 20500000-825003 (Fleet Reserves Fund) and affirm emergency approval of the sole source quote and authorize repairs for engine replacement in Fire Engine #164 for $66,251.55 with Golden State Peterbilt of Porterville, CA.

Recommended Motion: That, by motion, the City Council approves.

1. Appropriate $66,251.55 from 20500000-825003 (Fleet Reserves Fund)

2. Affirm emergency approval of the sole source quote from Golden State Peterbilt of Porterville Ca for $66,251.55 to replace the engine in Fire Engine #164 and authorize the repairs.

BACKGROUND:

Per Hanford Municipal Code 2.48.060, the City Council has the sole authority to authorize purchases exceeding $50,000, regardless of whether funding has already been appropriated in the adopted budget. Additionally, purchases of $2,500.00 or more must have either formal or informal bids or a sole source justification provided. The City Manager may approve emergency purchases if public health and safety are in need, which was done in this instance for timely repair of an emergency response apparatus.

Fire Engine #164 suffered a catastrophic engine failure earlier this month. Engine #164 was towed to Golden State Peterbilt of Porterville Ca for evaluation. Golden State Peterbilt was selected due to the responsiveness and estimated length of repairs. Golden State Peterbilt provided a quote to replace the engine for $66,251.55 to install a rebuilt engine that comes with a 2-year, 200-thousandmile warranty.

Failure to authorize the repairs of Fire Engine #164 can result in long delays in service and risk to public safety. Currently, Hanford Fire Department has a fire engine on loan from the California Office of Emergency Response. This does not take into account any other issues that may arise with the Fire Department's current fleet. Failure to repair will result in the reliance of surrounding agencies to assist with calls for the City of Hanford.

Fire Engine #164 has previously been approved, by Council, for replacement and an order has been placed with Pierce Manufacturing. Staff has spoken to Pierce Manufacturing, and they have provided staff with an estimated delivery time of April 24, 2027, well outside the projected 3-month time frame that Golden State Peterbilt has provided for the completion of repairs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fleet Replacement reserves can absorb the impact of replacing the engine in Fire Engine #164, at a cost of $66,251.55. $692,830.00 has been collected for the replacement of Fire Engine #164 in 2050000-825003 (Fleet Replacement Reserves) and the purchase of the replacement for Fire Engine #164 has previously been funded and vendor paid in advance.

Authorization for the City Manager to sign a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison for electrical service to a landscape irrigation meter located on Lot “A” of Tract 915, Unit #2 at the northeast corner of the intersection of Aquifer Drive and Carnegie Street.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation:

That that City Council, by motion, authorize the City Manager to sign a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison for electrical service to a landscape irrigation meter located on Lot “A” of Tract 915, Unit #2 at the northeast corner of the intersection of Aquifer Drive and Carnegie Street.

Recommended Motion:

I move to authorize the City Manager to sign a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison for electrical service to an irrigation service meter located on Lot A of Tract 915, Unit #2.

BACKGROUND:

Tract 915, Unit #2 is a “private street” subdivision development located at the corner of Aquifer Drive and Millenium Way. The developer, Enclave 66, is constructing a gated residential development that has a landscape lot (Lot “A”) that was dedicated to the City of Hanford. The final map, which was recorded July 21, 2023, is attached for Council review.

For the perimeter landscaping along Aquifer Drive and Millenium Way, an electrical service is required to be installed across Lot “A” and to the meter pedestal. This segment of the electrical service is maintained by SCE, who may on occasion need to enter the city property to perform maintenance or repairs..

To accommodate the improvements, a Grant of Easement from the City of Hanford to Southern California Edison Company has been prepared and is attached for Council review. The easement includes two strips of land on Lot “A”, located at the northeast corner of Aquifer Drive and Carnegie Street as shown on the attached exhibit.

With Council's approval, the City Manager would sign and execute the Grant of Easement allowing CE to record the document and install electrical service on the city-owned property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with this action. The costs of the SCE Easement and the underground service installation and improvements will be paid by the developer, Enclave 66.

Approve Contract for Essential Data services for the Fire Department for $40,102 year one, and $31,070 in subsequent years for up to five years.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation: That the City Council approve the sole source contract for essential data services with IMAGE TREND LLC, for $40,102 year one, and $31,070 in subsequent years for up to five years.

Recommended Motion: That the City Council approve, by motion, the sole source contract for essential data services with IMAGE TREND LLC, for $40,102 year one, and $31,070 in subsequent years for up to five years.

BACKGROUND:

It has become necessary for the Hanford Fire Department to procure a time-sensitive contract with a data -repository vendor that offers integration of electronic data from Fire, Emergency Medical and Community Risk Reduction activities. These services are essential to the daily operational functions of the Hanford Fire Department.

The current vendor, Emergency Reporting (ER), notified the department in mid- 2023 of their inability to maintain their current data reporting and that they were being acquired by another vendor, ESO. In conversations with ESO, both in 2023 by E. Brotemarkle and personally in 2024, ESO had expressed that they were not going to be able to support specific functions that are mandated to occur on the scene of a medical aid. This particular function, (the electronic transfer of patient care reporting from mobile device to mobile device) is a new requirement by the Five-County, Local Emergency Medical System Authority (LEMSA), of which all Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT’s) in Hanford Fire Department are subject to their oversight.

Given the fact that nearly 70% of all calls for service received by HFD are medical in nature, the ability to transfer the data from a mobile device to a mobile device on scene is KEY to the successful care of a patient that is in need of medical assistance. Before this new requirement, firefighter EMT’s were able to, when patient care was begun prior to EMS arrival, fill out a paper -based Patient Care Report (PCR). In the case of Hanford Fire and to answer how often this might have occurred, in nearly 40% of all medical related calls, HFD arrives first, begins patient care and commences tracking the patient information in compliance with EMT protocols. Currently, there is no method for HFD to comply with the LEMSA as the current data reporting vendor does not support this function on IOS devices or other electronic media.

In an effort to secure HIPAA-compliant reporting of patient care information on a medical scene, a search of vendors that offered this feature utilizing an IOS based device (as HFD currently has) was begun in Early 2023.

In Mid -March of 2024, I was made aware of the status of the Data Records system and its impending inability to function as of 12/31/24. This made the search and subsequent adoption of a new data records management system more time sensitive.

Of the vendors that were queried, only one was currently able to meet the requirement of data transfer from device-to-device on scene. That vendor was IMAGE TREND. Other vendors that were requested to provide quotes (ESO and FIRST DUE) did not currently have this capability and in fact were still in the product beta-testing phase with projected completion in December 2024, and Spring of 2025, respectfully. Thus, making their adoption as a viable solution for HFD’s data reporting dilemma PRIOR to December 2024, unfeasible. In addition, this system can interface with the City's existing IT infrastructure.

Therefore, staff requests the ability to enter into a sole source contract with IMAGE TREND due specifically to, the fact that IMAGE TREND is the only vendor that currently has the ability to allow compliance with data transfer of HIPAA- compliant Medical information from device to device.

The cost of the contract for year one is $40,102 with a recurring yearly cost of $31,070. Year One costs include essential training and data transfer services. See provided proposed agreement cost sheet.

The current cost for these services with our non-compliant provider EMERGENCY REPORTING was $5,871.60 through the remainder of 2024.

IMAGE TREND is a vetted, trusted regional as well as a nationally accepted reputable company that is highly utilized within the emergency response community. In the greater Hanford City, Kings County, Central Valley and State of California, to include CalFire as a whole, all of these agencies currently utilize IMAGE TRENDS services.

The council could deny this request for the ability to enter into this contract for essential data services. However, this would create a situation wherein Hanford Fire Department was non-complaint with mandatory data reporting to both the state of California and the Federal Government.

FISCAL IMPACT:

YEAR ONE - $40,102
SUBSEQUENT YEARS - $31,070

STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: 8/6/2024 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT CALENDAR SUBJECT:

Acceptance and authorization for staff to File the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Reports as of 06/30/2024.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 06/30/2024.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the City Council accept and authorize staff to file the City of Hanford's Quarterly Investment Portfolio and Transactions Report as of 06/30/2024.

BACKGROUND: Quarterly Investment Report. The City has approximately $123.4 million in investments and cash as of 06/30/2024.

Recent Activity. The City has increased the minimum amount of cash held in Wells Fargo operating accounts to approximately $3 million. Typically, idle cash beyond the necessary $3 million is invested in the local government pools such as CLASS or LAIF. Yield rates have been trending higher with CLASS at approximately 5.4% and LAIF at 4.48%. All funds (except for a minimum to keep the account open) were transferred from Tulare County Pool to CLASS to earn a higher interest rate.

Securities which matured during the period were reinvested. Some maturities were left in the money market fund earning interest in anticipation of the City’s investment manager, Meeder to begin their services and invest on behalf of the City.

Current Investment Environment. As of the latest Federal Reserve meeting on June 11 and 12th of 2024, rates have still remained steady with no cuts. Economists believe rate cuts may start in September or December and should only expect one or two in 2024. Rates will mostly likely be in slight decreases of 0.25% increments over several years (CNBC).

The 10-year Treasury Note interest is slightly down from last quarter at approximately 4.36% versus

4.64% at the end of last quarter. At the same time last year, the rate was lower at 3.82%.

Future Actions. The City will begin using Meeder as of the new fiscal year 2025. The local government pools will keep a combined minimum of $15 million while the rest will be invested into securities based on Meeder’s expertise of the market. On a continuous basis securities will be reinvested as maturities occur and consideration will be taken for future cash flow as the City will need approximately $16 million over the course of the next 2 years for the purchase of the replacement water meter system and installation, as well as other capital projects during that time.

Summary. The primary purpose of the City’s cash is to provide residents of Hanford with services. In

order to maximize the earnings potential on the City’s idle cash, the City utilizes registered securities dealers to purchase low-risk investments which will provide a higher return versus allowing the cash to be held in savings accounts earning little to no interest. Additionally, idle cash is also held with government pools, including the Tulare County Investment Pool and the State of California LAIF. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner that will provide a high investment return with a high level of security while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the entity and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds FISCAL IMPACT: This item is informational. Investing the City's cash will generate continual interest earnings on the investment portfolio.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed Project consists of a new multi-use development that includes a 64-unti multi-family housing development on approximately 3.75 acres and a commercial component on approximately 1.25 acres. The commercial portion of the Project would be developed in a separate, future phase and is anticipated to include a gas station and fast-food restaurant.

The proposed development of the multi-family portion is proposed under Site Plan Review No. 0040-23 – attached as Attachment 1. The site plan review application was reviewed by the site plan review committee. Conditions of approval of the site plan review – attached as Attachment 2, are conditions of approval of the planned unit development and variance applications.

Note: The conditions of approval under the Engineering section are considered draft, as access and off-site improvements are being finalized between City staff and the applicant.

Approval of the proposed development project is subject to approval of the following:

General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23: a request to change the general plan designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use on 5-acres Rezone No. 0001-23: a request to change the zoning from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to MXN Neighborhood Mixed Use on a 5-acre site with a Planned Unit Development overlay Planned Unit Development No. 0036-24: a request to allow cross-access, shared driveways, and application of mixed-use standards to permit a vertical mixed-use development Variance No. 0009-23: a request to deviate from the standards of Section 17.24.130 of the Hanford Municipal Code, to eliminate the block wall requirement between an existing apartment complex and a proposed apartment complex and provide a slated chain link fencing between the proposed apartment complex and a City basin.

Location:

The Project site is located northwest of the intersection of Grangeville Boulevard and Centennial Drive in the City of Hanford, Kings County, California (APN) 009-030-142.

Figure 1: Project Location

General Plan Designation

The project site is designed as Neighborhood Mixed Use by the General Plan, see Figure 2.

According to the General Plan Policy L42, the purpose of the Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation is to provide convenience commercial and neighborhood shopping centers serving a localized market that provide a range of necessary day-to-day retail goods and services.

According to Policy L43, typical uses in Neighborhood Commercial include businesses providing day-to-day goods and services for the surrounding and nearby residential neighborhood. Uses that would primarily serve a citywide or regional market area shall not be allowed. Typical uses include markets, small retail shops, eating establishments, service stations, convenience stores, dry cleaning and laundry services, beauty salons, and other similar uses.

Since the applicant proposes residential uses for a portion of the project site, a General Plan Amendment to change the site to a use which permits residential is required. The applicant proposes to change the designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use, as shown in Figure 3.

According to General Plan Policy L63 the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designations shall be located on eight (8) to twenty-five (25) acres at roughly one-mile intervals on one corner of an intersection of an arterial street and an arterial or collector street. This land designation takes the place of the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation on some corners.

General Plan Policy L60 states, the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation shall be established to promote mixed-use commercial and multi-family residential areas that allow walking to and between the mix of uses. New development may be oriented towards an existing public street or a new street or civic space within the development site. In accordance with Policy L62, typical uses allowed in the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation include multifamily dwellings along with businesses providing day-to-day goods and services for the surrounding and nearby residential neighborhoods. Commercial uses that would primarily serve a citywide or regional market area shall not be allowed. Typical uses include duplexes, townhomes, apartments, markets, small retail shops, eating establishments, service stations, convenience stores, dry cleaning and laundry services, beauty salons, and other similar uses.

Both vertical and horizontal mixed-use developments are encouraged. The development proposed by the applicant is consistent with the purpose and allowable uses in the Neighborhood Mixed Use development.

Zoning

The project site is presently zoned C-N Neighborhood Commercial, in accordance with the General Plan Designation, Neighborhood Commercial – see Figure 4. The development proposal is incompatible with the present zoning, since it proposes residential land uses which are not permitted in the C-N Neighborhood Commercial zone district. The project includes a request to change the zoning on the property from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, as depicted in Figure 5.

The proposed 64-unit multi-family development is not permitted in C-N Neighborhood Commercial, however upon approval of a zone change to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, as proposed, would be permitted, as demonstrated in Figure 6.

Required Entitlements
As presented above, the project is inconsistent with the present land use and zoning designation.

As such, the project involves a general plan amendment and rezone. Upon review of Site Plan Review No. 0040-23, it was determined that a Planned Unit Development and Variance application would also be required, as described below.

General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23
A General Plan Amendment is required for the project, in order to change the General Plan designation of the subject site from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use.

Rezone 0001-23
A rezone is required for the project, in order to change the zoning from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to a MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use with a Planned Unit Development overlay.

Planned Unit Development No. 0036-24
A planned unit development is required in order allow cross-access, shared driveways, and application of mixed-use standards to permit a vertical mixed-use development Variance No. 0009-23
A variance is required, to deviate from the standards of Section 17.24.130 of the Hanford Municipal Code, to eliminate the block wall requirement between an existing apartment complex and a proposed apartment complex and provide a slated chain link fencing between the proposed apartment complex and a City basin.

Surrounding Uses
As referenced in the table below, surrounding land uses consist of multi-family housing to the north, single-family residential developments to the east and south, and a water storage facility and a retention basin to the west.

PROJECT EVALUATION
General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23
General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23 is a request to change the land use designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed use, due to incompatibility with the proposed multi-family development and the commercial designation. An evaluation of the General Plan Policy appears below.

3.5.1 Neighborhood Commercial
Policy L42 Purpose of Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation Establish the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation to provide convenience commercial and neighborhood shopping centers serving a localized market that provide a range of necessary day-to-day retail goods and services.

Policy L43 Typical Uses in Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation

Define the uses allowed in the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation to include businesses providing day-to-day goods and services for the surrounding and nearby residential neighborhood. Uses that would primarily serve a citywide or regional market area shall not be allowed. Typical uses include markets, small retail shops, eating establishments, service stations, convenience stores, dry cleaning and laundry services, beauty salons, and other similar uses.

Policy L44 Design of Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation Require that new development projects and major site reconfigurations in the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation lay out buildings and parking as a single, integrated shopping center with shared driveway access and parking, with walkways connecting buildings to each other and the street so as to promote pedestrian accessibility from nearby residential neighborhoods.

Policy L45 Location and Size of Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation Locate Neighborhood Commercial land use designations on 3 to 10 acres at roughly onemile intervals on one corner of an intersection of an arterial street and an arterial or collector street.

Policy L46 Anchor Tenants in Neighborhood Commercial Land Use Designation Limit the total gross building square footage of the anchor tenant, such as a supermarket, in the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation to not exceed 55,000 square feet, and also to not exceed 50% of the shopping center’s gross building square footage.

Analysis: The Project proposes to develop a 64-unit multi-family apartment complex, with future vertical mixed use. The multi-family residential use is not permissible within the Neighborhood Commercial designation. General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23 proposes to change the land use designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed-Use.

3.6.1 Neighborhood Mixed Use
Policy L60 Purpose of Neighborhood Mixed Use Land Use Designation Establish the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation to promote mixed-use commercial and multi-family residential areas that allow walking to and between the mix of uses. New development may be oriented towards an existing public street or a new street or civic space within the development site.

Analysis: The proposed development includes both multi-family residential and future commercial development, consistent with Policy L60. The applicant proposes a planned unit development to permit cross-access between the sites, encouraging walking between the mix of uses. The residential portion of the site will be accessed from the existing public street on Centennial Drive but oriented towards the internal open space (pool and clubhouse area).

Policy L61 Typical Uses in Neighborhood Mixed Use Land Use Designation Define the uses allowed in the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation to include multi-family dwellings along with businesses providing day-to-day goods and services for

the surrounding and nearby residential neighborhoods. Commercial uses that would primarily serve a citywide or regional market area shall not be allowed. Typical uses include duplexes, townhomes, apartments, markets, small retail shops, eating establishments, service stations, convenience stores, dry cleaning and laundry services, beauty salons, and other similar uses. Both vertical and horizontal mixed-use developments are encouraged.

Analysis: The applicant proposes to develop the site as a future vertical mixed-use development with multi-family residential apartments and a future commercial portion. The commercial portion of the site will be limited to the uses permitted in the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district.

Included in the environmental review, the applicant anticipates a service station and associated convenience store with a drive-thru restaurant.

Policy L62 Design of Neighborhood Mixed Use Land Use Designation Require that new development projects and major site reconfigurations in the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation provide site layouts, buildings, landscaping, walkways, and signage that are oriented primarily to the pedestrian. Require pedestrian access between residential and commercial uses and prohibit parking areas, walls, and landscaping in locations on the site that block or hinder pedestrian access. The maximum residential density permitted in a horizontal mixed-use development is fifteen (15) dwelling units per acre.

Analysis: The applicant proposes four-foot-wide concrete walkways throughout the development to provide for pedestrian access. The density proposes within the development is 17 units per acre. Vertical mixed use is not limited within the designation and is within the anticipated highdensity zone district range. The expected density range for High Density Residential is 14 to 29 units per gross acre with an expected typical density of 16 units per gross acre.

Policy L63 Location and Size of Neighborhood Mixed Use Land Use Designation Locate Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designations on eight (8) to twenty-five (25) acres at roughly one-mile intervals on one corner of an intersection of an arterial street and an arterial or collector street. This land designation takes the place of the Neighborhood Commercial land use designation on some corners.

Analysis: The entire project site encompasses five acres, which is below the expected acreage range, however, per the GP policy, “this land designation takes the place of Neighborhood Commercial land use designation on some corners.” There are instances where smaller Neighborhood Mixed Use designations are present:

Example 1: Northwest Corner of 10th and Fargo Avenues

1.75 Acres

Example 2: Southwest Corner of 10th Avenue and Third Street

1.34 acres (cumulative)
Example 3: South of Third Street, between Redington and Harris Streets

2.79 cares (cumulative)
Since there is past practice of the application of the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation on sites lesser than eight acres and this designation would take the place of the former Neighborhood Commercial designation, staff is able to support the proposed change to Neighborhood Mixed Use.

Policy L64 Mix of Uses in Neighborhood Mixed Use Land Use Designation Require that horizontal mixed-use developments within the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use designation provide a minimum of thirty percent (30%) and a maximum of seventy percent (70%) of the site for multi-family residential dwellings. Require vertical mixed-use developments to provide a minimum of three (3) dwelling units per acre and a minimum of 30,000 square feet of total commercial floor space.

Analysis: The applicant proposes a vertical mixed-use development. The multi-family portion of the site makes up 3.75 acres. The future commercial portion makes up 1.25 acres of the total five-acre site. This represents a 75/25 split between the residential and commercial uses. As a vertical mixed-use development, the applicant is providing 17 units per acre with 1.25 acres reserved for future commercial development.

Additional Applicable Goals and Policies
Mixed Use Land Use Designations Goals

3.6 Mixed Land Use
The intent of the mixed-use land use designations is to provide for a mixture of stores, services, restaurants, offices, and homes (dwelling units) in close proximity, thereby allowing residents to work and shop close to home and reduce the length and frequency of trips between home, work, shopping, and services. This contributes to opportunities to increase the use of public transit, reduce auto dependency, provide a wider range of housing choices, and promote activity during more hours of the day. Both vertical and horizontal mixed-use developments are encouraged in the mixed-use designations. The Hanford Zoning Ordinance provides the enforcement mechanism to implement the identified policies.

Analysis: The proposed development achieves the intent of the mixed-use land use designation, to provide a mixture of future commercial in close proximity to multi-family dwelling units, thus providing an opportunity for residents to shop close to home and reduce the length and frequency of trips between home, shopping, and services. The applicant proposes a vertical mixed-use development within an area proposed to be designated as a mixed-use designation. The development complies with the Hanford Zoning Ordinance for the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district requirements, except as modified through the proposed variance.

Goal L15: More opportunities for mixed use projects.

Goal L16: A mix of land uses, vertical, horizontal or both, at appropriate locations in the city.

Goal L17: A mixture of commercial shopping and services with multi-family residential dwellings in a vibrant, walkable environment.

Goal L18: Opportunities to design land uses that meet people’s residential and shopping needs while reducing reliance on automobiles.

Policy H67 Complete Communities

Support the concept of complete communities by requiring a mix of housing types that meet a variety of lifestyles and incomes.

Analysis: The project proposes a vertical mixed-use project, which supports the goal to provide for a mix of land uses with multi-family and commercial shopping in proximity. The project proposes a multi-family development, which aids to creating a mix of housing types in the City.

Residential Goals
Goal L6: A wide range of housing choices that ensure opportunities for a variety of age groups, lifestyles, and income levels.

Goal L7: Residential densities that encourage both compact and infill development.

Policy L27 Mix of Densities in Neighborhoods
Encourage mixing of residential densities and lot sizes within neighborhoods.

Policy L109 Mixed-Use Neighborhoods
Encourage the integration of a variety of compatible land uses into new and established neighborhoods to provide residents with convenient access to goods, services, parks and recreation, and other community amenities.

Analysis: The project accomplishes housing goals by providing additional multi-family opportunities where the former designation would not allow housing. The creation of multi-family apartments aids in the goal of creating a mix of housing choices to ensure opportunities for a variety of age groups, lifestyles, and income levels.

Growth Management Goals
Goal L2: Development preference of vacant and underutilized properties.

Goal L3: Limitation of urban sprawl-style development patterns in new growth areas Policy L11 Infill Development
Support, encourage, and incentivize, to the extent possible, infill development projects that can effectively utilize existing transportation and utility infrastructure.

Policy L107 Revitalization and Redevelopment
Encourage property owners to revitalize or redevelop abandoned, obsolete, or underutilized properties to accommodate growth.

An infill development site is defined as any parcel or group of parcels that are vacant or underdeveloped and surrounded by development on at least 75% of its perimeter. Infill sites may include previously developed sites that may/will be redeveloped. Examples include:

• Mixed use development in the Downtown and/or in areas within walking distance to transit, employment centers, and commercial services where the environmental impacts of the development would be minimized.
• Targeted residential infill development that addresses the needs of seniors, lower income households, single households and empty nesters, young professionals, and other special needs groups.

Policy L135 Infill Development Support
Support, encourage and, to the extent possible, incentivize infill development projects that can effectively utilize existing transportation and utility infrastructure.

Policy L137 Creative Design Solutions
Allow unique, diverse, and creative design solutions for infill development that are compatible with and enhance surrounding land uses.

Analysis: The project represents an in-fill site, since the site is substantially surrounded by urban development on all sides. Development of this area gives preference to a vacant, underutilized property and limits growth to a new area. The project provides residential opportunities in proximity to existing single-family and multi-family residential.

Rezone No. 0001-23
Rezone No. 0001-23 is a request to change the zoning from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use on a 5-acre site with a Planned Unit Development overlay The project site is presently zoned C-N Neighborhood Commercial, in accordance with the General Plan Designation, Neighborhood Commercial – see Figure 4. The development proposal is incompatible with the present zoning, since it proposes residential land uses which are not permitted in the C-N Neighborhood Commercial zone district. The project includes a request to change the zoning on the property from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, as depicted in Figure 5.

The proposed 64-unit multi-family development is not permitted in C-N Neighborhood Commercial, however upon approval of a zone change to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use, as proposed, would be permitted, as demonstrated in Figure 6.

Pursuant to HMC 17.06.060 Zone Changes, changes to the zoning map shall be approved by ordinance of the City Council, in accordance with Chapter 17.86. Chapter 17.86 of the Municipal Code describes the process for consideration of a Rezone. The reviewing authority is required to make the required findings below:

1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.

Analysis: That Rezone No. 0001-23 is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, specifically consistent with Policy L11, L27, L42-46, L60-64, H67, L107, L109, L135, L137, and Goals L2, L3, L6, L7, L15-18 (as described in the General Plan

Amendment section, above). All regulations pertaining to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district will be enforced as development occurs and through the Site Plan Review process, except as expressly modified by the Planned Unit Development.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

Analysis: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program and through conditions of approval.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That jobs-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a jobs-rich area. The proposal to change the designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use will impact the job-housing balance projected by increasing the number of residential units in the area. The addition of the residential units to the formerly commercial designation will not affect the City’s ability to maintain an appropriate balance of land uses within the City, as the increase in housing will bring more residential units to the jobs-rich planning area.

4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the uses proposed for the site include a combination of multi-family residential and future commercial uses, anticipated to be a service station and a drive-thru restaurant.

The uses proposed are compatible with the existing single- and multi-family residential uses in the surrounding area. Future use of the commercial portion of the site will carry out the goal to provide day-to-day conveniences in close proximity to residential uses, in order to reduce vehicle miles travel and provide convenience.

The project will be developed in conformance with the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district regulations, except where expressly modified by the variance and planned unit development applications.

Planned Unit Development No. 0036-24:

Planned Unit Development No. 0036-24 is a request to allow cross-access, shared driveways, and application of mixed-use standards to permit the vertical mixed-use development proposed through Site Plan Review No. 0040-23.

In accordance with Section 17.82.010 of the Hanford Municipal Code, planned unit developments are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and harmonious living and working environment within the City, that otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the provisions of the Hanford Municipal Code. In certain instances, the objectives of the Municipal

Code may be achieved by development that does not conform in all respects with the land use pattern designated on the zoning map or in the zone districts prescribed.

PUDs may be utilized to achieve one or more of the following objectives: (a checkmark denotes the applicable objectives sought by the applicant)
- To permit a site within more than one zone district to mix the permitted or conditionally permitted land uses of both zones within the site without regard to the zone district boundary;
- To permit development intensity greater than would otherwise be permitted by the implementation of the standards of the zone district in which the site is located; ✓ To permit the lot patterns on size, shape, and layout that would not otherwise be permitted by the standards of the zone district in which the site is located; - To permit variations to the standard local street cross-sections; - To permit private streets and gated neighborhoods
✓ To permit the implementation of the mixed use provisions in the MX-N, MX-C, or MX-D zone districts.

17.82.050 Site Area
A. The minimum site area for a planned unit development shall be five (5) acres, except that there shall be no minimum site area requirements if the site is an infill development site.

B. The site area may be made up of more than one (1) parcel, however all parcels in the site area shall be contiguous.

Analysis: The project site is five acres in total. Additionally, the site is an infill development site, as it is surrounded by urban development on all sides.

17.82.060 Findings
A. Before a planned unit development (PUD) permit can be approved, all of the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority identified in Chapter 17.70:

1. The location and design of the PUD is in accordance with the purpose of this title.

2. The PUD is being proposed to achieve one (1) or more of the objectives identified in Section 17.82.030.

3. The location and design of the PUD and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the community to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

4. The location and design of the PUD will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion and will not overload utilities.

5. That PUD’s population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, landscaped areas and street design will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the purpose of this title.

6. The combination of different dwelling types, architectural appearance, and/or varieties of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with the existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity; and
B. A PUD may be denied if the reviewing authority finds one (1) or more of the findings in this section cannot be made.

Analysis: The required findings are able to be supported, as demonstrated in the Findings of Approval section.

Variance No. 0009-23
Variance No. 0009-23 is a request to deviate from the standards of Section 17.24.130 of the Hanford Municipal Code, to eliminate the block wall requirement between an existing apartment complex and a proposed apartment complex and provide a slated chain link fencing between the proposed apartment complex and a City basin; and
As shown in Site Plan Review No. 00040-23, the applicant proposes to maintain the existing wrought-iron fencing between the R-H High-Density Residential zone to the north, the location of the Berkshire Crossings apartment complex, and the vinyl-slat chain-link fencing along the City basin property to the west of the site. Further towards Grangeville Boulevard, where the commercial portion of the proposed mixed-use development is located, the site is buffered with a block wall between the City’s well site and the development, along the west property line.

Figure 8: Wrought-Iron Fencing to the North
Figure 9: Vinyl-slated chain-link fencing along the City Basin to the West

Figure 10: Block wall between City Well Site to the West

17.24.130 Screening, fences, and walls.

In accordance with Section 17.24.130 B., a block wall with a minimum height of seven feet shall be provided along any side or rear lot line that abuts an R-L, R-M, OR, PF, AP, or CO zone district.

The property is bounded by R-H High-Density Residential to the north and PF Public Facility to the west; therefore, according to the HMC, a block wall shall be constructed. Since there are examples in the City of multi-family developments not separated by block walls, the applicant has requested a deviation from this requirement. Similarly, there are examples of areas where a block wall has not been provided between a City basin site and commercial or residential development.

The applicant seeks a variance, in order to maintain the existing fencing.

Block walls are required wherever Neighborhood Mixed Use Regional zone district abuts a residential zone district, P-F Public Facility zone district, AP Airport Protection zone district, or CO Conservation zone district.

Block walls are required for a variety of reasons, including to provide a buffer between uses, to provide privacy between uses, and to reduce noise impacts between noise-generating uses and uses which do not generate excessive noise.

Buffer
Block walls provide a buffer between uses by physically separating the uses. For example, block walls are provided between commercial and residential uses in order to provide a clear, physical separation of the differing uses. Block walls are often required when abutting P-F Public Facility

zone districts to provide a separation between commercial, industrial, and office uses and school facilities, parks, and basins.

In this instance, the P-F Public Facility zone district is occupied by a city storm-drainage retention basin. The use is not occupied by persons, except occasionally to provide maintenance to the basin. The slatted chain link fence provides a sufficient barrier between the future multi-family use and the adjoining retention basin. The Berkshire Crossing apartment complex also adjoins the City basin and a block wall was not required or provided. The applicant proposes a masonry block wall between the multi-family and commercial portion of the site.

Figure 11: Apartment and Basin, no block wall provided
The R-H High-Density Residential zone district is occupied by an apartment complex. The multifamily portion of the proposed mixed-use site will be located directly adjacent to the existing apartment complex. The uses are compatible. If the proposed multi-family development proposed under Site Plan Review No. 0040-23 was proposed to be zoned R-H High-Density Residential, there would not be a block wall required between the zones/uses.

Example 1: Conquistador and Rodgers Road
Example 2: Greenfield Avenue

Privacy
Block walls can provide privacy between uses, by reducing the visual impact of uses. Block walls are often required between commercial and residential uses in order to provide privacy to residents, so that residents cannot be seen from the commercial use. Similarly, block walls are required when commercial, office, or industrial uses abut a public facility use such as a school or park, so that patrons/employees are not infringing on the privacy of students/park-goers.

In this instance, the P-F Public Facility zone district is occupied by a City storm-drainage retention basin. The use is not occupied by persons, except occasionally to provide maintenance to the basin. The slatted chain link fence provides a sufficient privacy screen between the multi-family portion of the site and the adjoining retention basin.

The R-H High-Density Residential zone district is occupied by an apartment complex. The multifamily portion of the proposed mixed-use site will be located directly adjacent to the existing apartment complex. The uses are compatible, and privacy is accomplished by the orientation of the buildings and setbacks provided. If the proposed multi-family development proposed under Site Plan Review No. 0040-23 was proposed to be zoned R-H High-Density Residential, there would not be a block wall required between the zones/uses.

The applicant proposes a block wall between the multi-family portion of the site and the future commercial portion.

Noise Impacts
Block walls provide a noise buffer between uses. According to the Department of Transportation (DOT), “block walls can create a noise barrier, which is an obstacle placed between a noise source and a receiver which interrupts the path of the noise. Noise barriers reduce noise by blocking the direct travel of soundwaves from a source to adjacent homes or businesses, forcing the waves over the top or around the barrier. It is important to note that barriers are not designed to eliminate or block all noise.”
In this instance, the P-F Public Facility zone district is occupied by a City storm-drainage retention basin. The use is not occupied by persons, except occasionally to provide maintenance to the basin. If this P-F Public Facility zone was occupied by a school or park, the block wall requirement would be necessary to provide a noise barrier between the uses.

There is not a noise concern between the multi-family uses, since the uses are the same.

Additionally, all noise will be regulated through appropriate noise mitigation measures and compliance with Section 9.10 of the Hanford Municipal Code.

The goals to provide privacy and separation between uses can be achieved by the existing, sixfoot, slatted chain-link fence along the basin property and through the existing wrought iron fence along the multi-family property line.

The applicant proposes a masonry block wall between the multi-family and commercial portion of the site.

Site Plan Review No. 0040-23

The site plan review has been evaluated for conformance with the Hanford Municipal Code Section 17.24 for the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district. § 17.24.020 Permitted uses.

Uses shall be permitted or not permitted, conditionally permitted, administratively permitted, or temporarily permitted as prescribed in the land use table in Section 17.08.030.

Analysis: The multi-family use of the site proposed in Site Plan Review No. 0040-23 is a permitted use by right in the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district. Future development of the commercial portion of the site will be limited to the uses permitted, conditionally permitted, and administratively permitted in the MX-N zone district.
§ 17.24.030 Site area.

A. The minimum site area shall be 5,000 square feet, unless a smaller site is approved with a conditional use permit in accordance with Chapter 17.80.

B. Between 25% and 75% of the contiguously zoned parcels in an MX-N zone shall be reserved for residential use.

Analysis: The entire site is five acres. 75 percent of the site is proposed to be developed as multifamily residential use, while the remaining 25 percent is reserved for commercial development, as required.
§ 17.24.040 Lot dimensions.

The minimum lot frontage shall be 40 feet, unless a reciprocal use agreement for shared common access and parking areas with the Kings County recorder's office.

Analysis: The site has 346.82 feet of street frontage along Grangeville Boulevard and approximately 592 feet of frontage along Centennial Drive. § 17.24.050 Coverage.

The maximum coverage of a lot shall be determined by the combined building setback area requirements, open space requirements, and off-street parking and loading requirements.

Analysis: The site plan adheres to the required building setback, open space, and parking requirements, as demonstrated in the sections following. § 17.24.060 Building setback areas.

A. No structure shall be placed within a building setback area.

B. The front building setback area shall be 15 feet.

Analysis: On a corner lot, the shorter lot line is determined the front lot line; therefore, Grangeville Boulevard is considered the front lot line. All buildings proposed are setback beyond the required setback. Future development of the commercial portion of the site will be required to be located a minimum of 15 feet from the lot line adjoining Grangeville Boulevard.

C. The rear building setback may be zero feet from the rear lot line, except where the rear lot line abuts a public street an R-L, R-M, R-H, OR, O, PF, AP, or CO zone district then the rear building setback shall be 15 feet.

Analysis: The rear lot line is considered the northern lot line, which abuts an R-H zone district; therefore, a 15-foot rear yard setback is required. The applicant proposes to locate all structures a minimum of 15 feet from the rear property line, as required.

D. The side building setback area shall be zero feet, except where the side lot line abuts a public street or an R-L, R-M, R-H, OR, O, PF, AP, or CO zone district then the side building setback area shall be 15 feet.

Analysis: The western property line is determined to be the interior side property line, which abuts a PF zone district; therefore, there is a 15-foot side setback required. All buildings are setback beyond the 15-foot property line. There is a carport shown within the side-property line, which is required to be relocated. In the MX-N zone district, there is not a limitation on locating uncovered parking within the side setback area, so long as the setback is not adjoining a street.

The eastern property line, along Centennial Drive, is considered the street side property line, therefore a 15-foot setback is required. All structures are setback beyond the required 15-foot setback.
§ 17.24.070 Distances between structures.

The minimum distance between a structure used solely for residential purposes and another structure shall be 10 feet, except as provided by the building code.

Analysis: All structures are separated by a minimum of 10-feet, except where the building code has permitted a closer distance (i.e. between carports). § 17.24.080 Height of structures.

The maximum structure height shall be 35 feet.

Analysis: The proposed multi-family structures are two-story and the plate line height is approximately 19 feet and three inches, as shown in the elevations. § 17.24.090 Driveways.

A. Wherever possible developments shall share driveways to minimize the number of driveways on public streets.

Analysis: As requested through the Planned Unit Development, the applicant proposes to share driveways between the multi-family and commercial portions of the mixed-use site. Two access points are proposed on Centennial Drive and one on Grangeville Boulevard. See Figure 7.

B. New driveways near street corners shall be located a minimum 100 feet from the radius curve of the curb, unless otherwise specifically approved by the City Engineer.

Analysis: The new driveways are located a minimum of 100 feet from the radius curve of the curb, as required, as demonstrated through Site Plan Revie No. 0040-23 and Figure 7. § 17.24.100Off-street parking.

Off-street parking and off-street loading facilities shall be provided on the site for each use as prescribed in Chapter 17.54.

Analysis: In accordance with Section 17.54.040, multi-family uses are required to provide parking based on the number of bedrooms per unit.

That the applicant shall provide a minimum of 119 parking stalls on site, 5 of which are ADAaccessible, based on the ratio for multi-family residential units, as follows:

Unit Type Parking Space Requirement Measuring
unit
# of Stalls
Required
Total
Covered
1-bedroom unit 1.5 spaces; 50% covered 16 units 24 12
2-bedroom unit 1.75 spaces; 50% covered 36 units 63 31.5 3-bedroom unit 2 spaces; 50% covered 12 units 24 16
Community Space 1 stall per 300 sq. ft. 2,307 sq. ft. 8 0 Total Spaces Required: 64 units 119 59.5
That 60 stalls shall be covered parking stalls.

That the standard parking space shall not be less than 18.5 feet in length and nine feet in width, exclusive of aisles and access drives (Section 17.54.110 A).

That the maximum number of compact-car parking spaces is limited to 30 percent of the total parking spaces required. A compact parking space shall not be less than 16 feet in length and 8 feet in width, and marked for compact cars (Section 17.54.110 B. and C).

There shall be no more than four compact spaces adjacent to each other.

That parking for bicycles and low-emission vehicles shall be provided in accordance with the latest adopted version of the California Building Code (Section 17.54.190).

In the commercial zone district, not less than five percent of the interior square footage of a parking area shall be landscaped with trees and other plant materials suitable for ornamentation. Parking areas are to have one tree placed at every four lineal parking stalls.
§ 17.24.110 Usable open space.

A. New commercial developments shall provide a common outdoor, shaded sitting area for use by customers. The size of this area shall be a minimum 250 square feet per acre of site area.

Analysis: The commercial portion of the site is required to provide open space, when developed.

The open space will be required at the prescribed ratio of 250 square feet/acre. The commercial

portion of the site is approximately 1. 25 acres, which yields a requirement of 313 square feet of open space.

B. Lots with four or less dwelling units shall provide for a usable open space area of a minimum 300 square feet per dwelling unit. The open space shall be a minimum 15 feet wide.

Analysis: The site proposes more than four dwelling units, therefore, Section B does not apply.

C. Lots with five or more dwelling units shall provide for a usable open space area equal to 5% of the lot area. Where multiple lots that together make up a single development site, the required open space may be combined into common open space areas that are accessible to all residents of the site.

Analysis: The multi-family portion of the mixed-use site is 3.5 acres (163,350 square feet); therefore, 8,167.5 square feet of open space is required for the development. The applicant provides 12,898 square feet of usable open space for the development including a pool and community area.
§ 17.24.120 Landscaping.

A. Landscaping shall be provided for each use as prescribed in Chapter 17.52, Landscape Standards.

B. Landscaping shall be provided and permanently maintained in a setback area not less than 15 feet from a lot line adjoining a street.

C. Required landscaping is to be installed prior to occupancy and continually maintained pursuant to Chapter 17.52.

Analysis: The applicant provides landscaping along the 15-foot setback area along Centennial Drive. Future development of the commercial portion of the site will require landscaping to be provided on Grangeville Boulevard.
§ 17.24.130 Screening, fences, and walls.

A. Fences and walls shall be provided on the site for each use in accordance with Section 17.50.120.

B. A block wall with a minimum height of seven feet shall be provided along any side or rear lot line that abuts an R-L, R-M, R-H, OR, PF, AP, or CO zone district.

Analysis: As described in the Variance section, the applicant seeks to eliminate the block wall requirement between the P-F City basin and existing R-H apartments to the north. The variance can be supported, as demonstrated through the findings.

C. No fence or wall shall be placed in front of or within any landscaped area located next to a street.

Analysis: The applicant proposes to locate the fence behind the landscaping provided on Centennial Drive.

D. The open storage of materials and equipment attendant to a use shall be permitted only within an area surrounded or screened by a solid wall or fence seven feet minimum in height, except as may be modified under site plan review. Such storage shall not be visible above the fence or wall.
§ 17.24.140 Signs.

Signs placed in the MX-N zone shall be subject to the requirements and standards prescribed in Chapter 17.56.

Analysis: Signage requires a separate application and will be evaluated at the time of submittal. § 17.24.150 General provisions and standards.

A. All businesses, services, and processes shall be conducted entirely within a completely enclosed permanently fixed structure, except where specifically permitted by this title.

Analysis: The applicant proposes to develop the site for multi-family and future commercial in a mixed use development. All business, services, and proposes will be evaluated at the time of submittal to ensure they will be conducted entirely within a completely enclosed permanently fixed structure.

B. Mixed Use Neighborhood zone districts shall be designed to provide and encourage walking within the commercial uses and between the commercial uses and the residential uses within the MX-N zone and other nearby residential uses. At a minimum, this shall be accomplished with a minimum 10-foot-wide pedestrian path of travel between commercial sites and all residential sites within the MX-N zone.

Analysis: The site will be developed to encourage walking within the commercial uses and between the commercial uses and residential uses, this is the purpose of the planned unit development, to allow cross-access between the uses. There are internal pedestrian pathways within the multi-family portion of the property. Future connections will be evaluated when the commercial portion of the site is developed.

C. Mechanical equipment shall be located a minimum of five feet from a rear or side lot line that abuts an R-L, R-M, R-H, OR, O, PF, AP, or CO zone district.

Analysis: Mechanical equipment is located outside of the five-foot setback abutting the PF and RH zone districts.

D. Structures and the use of structures or land shall be subject to the requirements and standards prescribed in Chapter 17.50.

Except as modified through the Planned Unit Development and Variance application, to allow cross access and eliminate the block wall requirement, all development conforms to the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use district regulations and requirements.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL

General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23 and Rezone No. 0001-23 In accordance with HMC Section 17.88.040, before a general plan amendment may be approved, all of the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority:

In accordance with HMC Section 17.86.030, before a zone change may be approved, all of the following findings shall be made by the reviewing authority: (Note: the required findings to support the rezone application are the same as the findings used to support the General Plan Amendment).

1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.

Analysis: That General Plan Amendment and Rezone No. 0001-23 are internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, specifically consistent with Policy L11, L27, L42-46, L60-64, H67, L107, L109, L135, L137, and Goals L2, L3, L6, L7, L15-18 (as described in the General Plan Amendment section, above). All regulations pertaining to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district will be enforced as development occurs and through the Site Plan Review process, except as expressly modified by the Planned Unit Development.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

Analysis: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program and through conditions of approval.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That jobs-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a jobs-rich area. The proposal to change the designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use will impact the job-housing balance projected by increasing the number of residential units in the area. The addition of the residential units to the formerly commercial designation will not affect the City’s ability to maintain an appropriate balance of land uses within the City, as the increase in housing will bring more residential units to the jobs-rich planning area.

4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the uses proposed for the site include a combination of multi-family residential and future commercial uses, anticipated to be a service station and a drive-thru restaurant.

The uses proposed are compatible with the existing single- and multi-family residential uses in the surrounding area. Future use of the commercial portion of the site will carry out the goal to provide day-to-day conveniences in close proximity to residential uses, in order to reduce vehicle miles travel and provide convenience.

The project will be developed in conformance with the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district regulations, except where expressly modified by the variance and planned unit development applications.

Planned Unit Development No. 0001-23
Pursuant to Section 17.82.060 of the Hanford Municipal Code, six findings must be made before approval of the planned unit development application:

1. That the location and design of the PUD is in accordance with the purpose of this title; Analysis: Location - That in accordance with Section 17.82.050 of the Hanford Municipal Code, a planned unit development shall be a minimum five-acre site area, except that there shall be no minimum site area requirements if the site is an infill development site. The planned unit development pertains to a five-acre development and is also considered an infill development site. Design – the site will allow cross-access and a mix of multi-family and future commercial uses, as shown in Site Plan Review No. 0040-23.

2. That the PUD is being proposed to achieve one or more of the objectives identified in Section 17.82.030;
Purpose: That planned unit developments are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and harmonious living and working environment within the City, that otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the provisions of the municipal code.

In certain instances, the objectives of the municipal code may be achieved by development that does not conform in all respects with the land use pattern designated on the zoning map or in the zone district prescribed. The planned unit development seeks to:
✓ To permit the lot patterns on size, shape, and layout that would not otherwise be permitted by the standards of the zone district in which the site is located; ✓ To permit the implementation of the mixed use provisions in the MX-N, MX-C, or MX-D zone districts.

3. The location and design of the PUD and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the community to properties or improvements in the vicinity Analysis:

Design and Purpose - That planned unit developments are encouraged to achieve a more functional, aesthetically pleasing, and harmonious living and working environment within the City, that otherwise might not be possible by strict adherence to the provisions of the municipal code. In certain instances, the objectives of the municipal code may be achieved by development that does not conform in all respects with the land use pattern designated

on the zoning map or in the zone district prescribed. The planned unit development seeks to:
✓ To permit the lot patterns on size, shape, and layout that would not otherwise be permitted by the standards of the zone district in which the site is located; ✓ To permit the implementation of the mixed use provisions in the MX-N, MX-C, or MX-D zone districts.

Design – the site will allow cross-access and a mix of multi-family and future commercial uses, as shown in Site Plan Review No. 0040-23.

4. The location and design of the PUD will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can carry without congestion, and will not overload utilities; Analysis: A traffic impact analysis was conducted for the initial study, which demonstrated that the location and design of the proposed development will not generate more traffic than the streets in the vicinity can handle without congestion, with the application of Engineering Conditions of Approval, conditioning the right-of-way development.

5. That PUD's population density, site area and dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, height of structures, distances between structures, off-street parking and off-street loading facilities, landscaped areas and street design will produce an environment of stable and desirable character consistent with the purpose of this title; Analysis: The PUD’s population density is within the allowable range prescribed for the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district, which allows high-density development. The site area, dimensions, site coverage, yard spaces, heigh of structures, distances between structures, parking, and landscaping were evaluated for conformance through Site Plan Review No. 0040-23, all requirements of the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use Zone District were satisfied.

6. The combination of different dwelling types, architectural appearance, and/or varieties of land uses in the development will complement each other and will harmonize with the existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity; and
Analysis: The combination of multi-family dwellings and future commercial development provides for a mix of uses for the Neighborhood Mixed-Use zone district. The uses will compliment and harmonize with each other and the surrounding residential uses.

Variance No. 0009-23
In taking action on a variance, the discretionary body must make the appropriate findings, in accordance with Section 17.84.050 of the Hanford Municipal Code:

1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, are such that the strict application deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity that are in the same zone district; ANALYSIS: That the special circumstance applicable to the property is its surroundings. The project site is proposed to be developed as a mixed-use development with multi-family and

future commercial development. There are various examples of a block wall not provided between multi-family developments. Similarly, there are examples of the a block wall not provided between a City basin and multi-family, including the project site to the north, Berkshire Crossings.

2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district and denied to the property for which the variance is sought; ANALYSIS: That the variance is necessary in order to keep the same fence that exists on and connects to neighboring properties. The block wall requirement denies this property the ability to enjoy the right to have a fence, a substantial property right possessed by a property in the vicinity, as demonstrated through the variance analysis, the block wall will not impact the sites ability to provide for separation of uses, privacy, buffer, and noise reduction between uses.

3. That the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district in which the property is located;
ANALYSIS: That allowance of the variance to remove the requirement of the block wall will not create a safety hazard. There is a fence existing between the basin and future multi-family site which provides a physical barrier between the site and the basin. There is a wrought-iron fence between the existing multi-family apartment complex, Berkshire Crossings, and the future multi-family portion of the mixed use site. The allowance of the variance is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district in which the property is located. The goals of providing a block wall, to provide privacy and physical separation, can be achieved by maintaining the existing six-foot, slatted, chain-link fence along the basin and the wrought iron fence near the apartment complex to the north.

4. That the variance does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and that are in the same land use district in which such property is located;
ANALYSIS: As demonstrated through the Variance analysis, there are examples of a block wall not provided between multi-family uses and between a basin and multi-family.

Example 1: Conquistador and Rodgers Road

Example 2: Greenfield Avenue
Example 3: Apartment and Basin, no block wall provided

5. That the variance does not allow a use or activity which is prohibited in the zone district where the property is located;
ANALYSIS: That the proposed use of a mixed-use development for a multi-family apartment complex and future commercial site is permitted in the MX-N zone district. Removing the block wall will not allow a use or activity which is prohibited in the zone district.

6. That the variance is consistent with the purposes of this title; ANALYSIS: That in accordance with Section 17.84.010, the purpose of a variance is to allow deviations from the development standards of the Hanford Municipal Code when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical conditions, the strict application of the standards denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and in the same zoning district. The special circumstance applicable to the property is its surroundings. Other developments abutting a basin do not provide for a block wall, such as Berkshire Crossings to the north, directly abutting the project site. Additionally, there are examples of no block wall existing between multi-family sites. The block wall requirement denies this property a privilege that other properties in the vicinity enjoy.

7. That the variance will be consistent with the General Plan.

ANALYSIS: That the General Plan has been reviewed, and the granting of this variance would be consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan.

2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.

Analysis: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program and through conditions of approval.

3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Analysis: That jobs-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the jobs-housing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a jobs-rich area. The proposal to change the designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use will impact the job-housing balance projected by increasing the number of residential units in the area. The addition of the residential units to the formerly commercial designation will not affect the City’s ability to maintain an appropriate balance of land uses within the City, as the increase in housing will bring more residential units to the jobs-rich planning area.

4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.

Analysis: That the uses proposed for the site include a combination of multi-family residential and future commercial uses, anticipated to be a service station and a drive-thru restaurant. The

uses proposed are compatible with the existing single- and multi-family residential uses in the surrounding area. Future use of the commercial portion of the site will carry out the goal to provide day-to-day conveniences in close proximity to residential uses, in order to reduce vehicle miles travel and provide convenience.

The project will be developed in conformance with the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district regulations, except where expressly modified by the variance and planned unit development applications.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Hanford hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23. Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hanford, duly called and held on August 6, 2024, by the following vote:

Ongoing Lead Agency

MM AQ-3: The project proponent shall
continuously comply with the following
measures during operation of the project to
control emissions from the on-site dedicated
equipment (equipment that would remain onsite each day):
a. a. All onsite off-road equipment and
on-road vehicles for
operation/maintenance shall be new
equipment that meets the recent
California Air Resources Board engine
emission standards or alternatively

During
Operation
Lead Agency
MM BIO-1: A pre-construction clearance
survey of the Project footprint shall be
conducted for special-status wildlife species
and nesting migratory birds and raptors. The
survey shall occur no less than 14-30 days
prior to the start of construction activities. If
construction is delayed beyond 30 days from
the time of the survey, then another survey
must be conducted. The survey shall be
conducted by a biologist with adequate
training and prior experience conducting
surveys for special-status wildlife species. If no
special-status species are observed, no further
action is warranted. If dens or burrows that
could support special-status species and/or
nesting birds are discovered during the preconstruction survey, appropriate avoidance buffers should be established. A report
outlining the results of the clearance survey
shall be provided to the Lead Agency as
evidence of compliance.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency

MM BIO-2: If construction is planned during
the nesting season for migratory birds
(February 15 to August 31) and nesting birds
are identified during the survey, active
Swainson’s hawk nest shall be avoided by 0.5
miles, other raptor nests shall be avoided by
500 feet and all other migratory bird nests
shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers
may be reduced if a qualified biological
monitor determines that encroachment into
the buffer area is not affecting nest building,
the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the
breeding behaviors of the resident birds.

Because nesting birds can establish new nests
or produce a second or even third clutch at any
time during the nesting season, nesting bird
surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as
construction activities are occurring
throughout the nesting season.

During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-3: If an active Swainson’s hawk nest is
discovered at any time within 0.5 miles of
active construction, a qualified biologist shall
complete an assessment of the potential for
current construction activities to impact the
nest. The assessment would consider the type
of construction activities, the location of
construction relative to the nest, the visibility
of construction activities from the nest
location, and other existing disturbances in the
area that are not related to the construction
activities of this Project. Based on this
assessment, the biologist will determine if
construction activities can proceed and the
level of nest monitoring required.

Construction activities shall not occur within
500 feet of an active nest, but depending on
conditions at the site, this distance may be
reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the
effects of construction activities on nesting
Swainson’s hawks may be required. The
qualified biologist shall have the authority to
stop work if it is determined that Project
construction is disturbing the nest. These
buffers may need to increase depending on the
During
construction
Lead Agency

sensitivity of the nesting Swainson’s hawk to
disturbances and at the discretion of the
qualified biologist.

MM BIO-4: Prior to the initiation of
construction activities, all personnel shall
attend a Worker Environmental Awareness
Training program developed by a qualified
biologist. The program shall include
information on the life histories of specialstatus species with the potential to occur on the Project, their legal status, the course of
action shall these species be encountered
onsite, and avoidance and minimization
measures to protect these species.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-5: Project-related vehicles should
observe a 20-mph speed limit in all Project
areas, except on county roads and state and
federal highways. Off-road traffic outside of
designated Project areas should be prohibited.

During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-6: All trash and food items should be
discarded into closed containers and properly
disposed of at the end of each workday.

During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-7: To prevent harassment or
mortality of listed species, no pets should be
permitted on the Project site during Project
construction.

During
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-1: If prehistoric or historic-era
cultural materials are encountered during
construction activities, all work in the
immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a
qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find
and make recommendations. If the qualified
archaeologist determines that the discovery
represents a potentially significant cultural
resource, additional investigations may be
required to mitigate adverse impacts from
Project implementation. These additional
studies may include avoidance, testing, and
evaluation or data recovery excavation.

Cultural resource materials may include
During
construction
Lead Agency

prehistoric resources such as flaked and
ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone,
ceramics, fire-affected rock, and historic
resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or
structural remnants. Implementation of the
mitigation measure below would ensure that
the proposed Project would not cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource.

MM CUL-2: Prior to any ground disturbance, if
the City of Hanford receives a request from a
Native American tribal group, a surface
inspection of the site shall be conducted by a
tribal monitor. The tribal staff shall provide
pre-Project-related activities briefings to
supervisory personnel and any excavation
contractor, including information on potential
cultural material, finds, and any excavation
contractor, which will include information on
potential cultural material finds, and the
procedures be enacted if resources are found.

The tribal cultural staff shall monitor the site
during grading activities.

Prior to any ground disturbance, the applicant
shall offer the tribe the opportunity to provide
a Native American Monitor during grounddisturbing activities. Tribal participation would be dependent upon the availability and
interest of the tribe.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-3: That a Burial Treatment Plan be
entered into by the applicant/developer prior
to any earth-disturbing activities.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-4: If human remains are discovered
during construction or operational activities,
further excavation or disturbance shall be
prohibited pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the
California Health and Safety Code. The specific
protocol, guidelines, and channels of
communication outlined by the Native
American Heritage Commission, in accordance
with Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety
During
construction
Lead Agency

Code, Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources
Code (Chapter 1492, Statutes of 1982, Senate
Bill 297), and Senate Bill 447 (Chapter 44,
Statutes of 1987), shall be followed. Section
7050.5(c) shall guide the potential Native
American involvement, in the event of the
discovery of human remains, at the direction
of the county coroner.

MM ENG-1: The Project proponent and its
contractors shall comply with applicable
California Title 24 CalGreen Code which can
include but not be limited to inclusion of solar
ready rooftops, double pane windows, electric
vehicle charging, use of LED lights, the use of
low flow appliances, drip irrigation, and
drought tolerant landscaping.

Prior to and
during
construction
Lead Agency
MM GEO-1: The Project proponent and its
contractors shall construct the project in
compliance with applicable development
standards under the California Building Code.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM GEO-2: Prior to issuing of grading or
building permits, if required, (a) the Project
applicant shall submit to the Lead Agency (1)
the approved Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and (2) the Notice of
Intent (NOI) to comply with the General
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) from the Central Valley
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The
requirements of the SWPPP and NPDES shall
be incorporated into design specifications and
construction contracts. Recommended best
management practices for the construction
phase may include the following:
• Stockpiling and disposing of demolition
debris, concrete, and soil properly.
• Protecting existing storm drain inlets
and stabilizing disturbed areas.
• Implementing erosion controls.
• Properly managing construction
materials.

Prior to
construction
Lead Agency

• Managing waste, aggressively
controlling litter, and implementing
sediment controls.
• Evidence of the approved SWPPP shall
be submitted to the Lead Agency.

MM GEO-3: If any paleontological resources
are encountered during ground-disturbance
activities, all work within 25 feet of the find
shall halt until a qualified paleontologist, as
defined by the Society of Vertebrate
Paleontology Standard Procedures for the
Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts
to Paleontological Resources (2010), can
evaluate the find and make recommendations
regarding treatment. Paleontological resource
materials may include resources such as
fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks
preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist
shall contact the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County or another appropriate
facility regarding any discoveries of
paleontological resources.

If the qualified paleontologist determines that
the discovery represents a potentially
significant paleontological resource,
additional investigations and fossil recovery
may be required to mitigate adverse impacts
from Project implementation. If avoidance is
not feasible, the paleontological resources
shall be evaluated for their significance. If the
resources are not significant, avoidance is not
necessary. If the resources are significant, they
shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects,
or such effects must be mitigated.

Construction in that area shall not resume
until the resource-appropriate measures are
recommended or the materials are
determined to be less than significant. If the
resource is significant and fossil recovery is
the identified form of treatment, then the fossil
shall be deposited in an accredited and
permanent scientific institution. Copies of all
Prior to
