responses.

There being no public comments, Mayor Halliday open ed and closed the public comment section at 8:06 p.m.

Discussion ensued among members of the City Council and City staff regarding: the proposed Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) recommendation for single family, multifamily, retail, and office use; there was confirmation that all non-residential developments with the exception of industrial, were exempt from paying park fees; funds collected from the TIF would be used for improving streets, intersect ions, improving pedestrian and bicyclist accessibility and safety, and other transit improvement projects; homeowners were not going to pay the fees directly but fees would be built into project developments based on their financial feasibility; recommended fees , if approved, would be evaluated in three years because it would be the initial implementation; the proposed retail and office TIF recommendations were set based on the minimal current office use and in an effort to attract and incentivize retail and office uses and create more jobs; proposed fees would go into effect July 1, 2022 and applications already in the pipeline would be grandfathered in but subject to current requirements; major retailers that are not subject to traffic impact fees would still have to mitigate impacts based on cur rent practice if a traffic analysis determined there were traffic impa cts; list of projects eligible to be implemented w ith collected fees would be prioritized; as part of improvement projects for bicyclist and pedestrian use, there may be a requirement to remove excessive parking and this would include a community ou treach process; the project for roundabout improvements at Orchard Road and Joyce Street was on pause but would be done; and TIF would not repla ce traffic analy sis requirements by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and some development projects would still be subject to a Local Transportation Analysis (LTA).

Members of the City Council comme nded the work done by City staff in providing the proposed TIF recommendations ; appreciated streamlining the development process; and commended the stakeholder engagement.

Council Member Wahab indicated she did not want to overburden residential properties any further ; noted as Hayward expands the industrial area and economic development , everyone should pay their fa ir share; and asked to evaluate if the proposed single family reduction fee of 70% could be either waived or reduced further to 80% and reconsider the retail and office proposal.

Council Member Zermeño was in general agreement with the proposed fees and objectives, commented that it was unfortunate the proposal could not assist in decreasing the number of cars on the roadway, and thanked staff for the comprehensive plan.

8 | Ma y 3 , 202 2
Council Member Márquez expressed concern that large retailers could afford to pay traffic impact fees and that might be a missed opportunity; and recommended that staff explore providing an option for development projects already in the pipeline to opt in to TIF.

Council Member Lamnin appreciated that Tennyson Road and A Street projects were on the high priority list of eligible projects that would be funded with TIF; supported staff conducting th e anal ysis for developers opting in to TIF; and suggested that in future fee discussions, staff be mindful that tying fees to housing units rather than square footage could encourage larger units and therefore more expensive units.

Council Member Andrews acknowledged the concern for small retail and office uses being subject to fees and requested that staff do an analysis for retailer/office uses under 4,000 square feet to guide the evaluation/recommendation in three years.

Mayor Halliday favored the implementation of the proposed TIF since Hayward was the only city in Alameda County with out a TIF and appreciated the gradual approach due to current economic conditions; noted the money generated from the fees would help match transportation infrastructure grants; and supported the proposal and consideration of comments made by members of the Council.

It was noted the item would return to Council as a public hearing on May 17, 2022.

Council Member Márquez was pleased with the evolvement of priorities; noted the priority list of over 70 projects was extensive and hoped there would be a concrete implementation plan if there were no recommendations to fill vacancies; and asked that the memo on smoke- free multi-unit housing be brought to Council in the fall.

12 | Ma y 3 , 202 2

City Manager McAdoo introduced Management Analyst Thomas who provided a synopsis of the staff report.

Discussion ensued among member s of the City Council and City staff regarding: the Stack Center site has spaces that could accommodate for activities and to be used for community organizations but there would be further discussion on the operation of the center; the multi-purpose space was designed for holding public meetings and equipped to hold a range of mee tings for governing bodies as wel l as nonprofit organizations; the Alameda County Office of Education and the Computer Center would be moved to a temporary location during construction and there would be solar covering most of the parking lot; consideration of enabling the space to be used for a variety of larger event types; and the total project c ost was $47 million with a gap of $22 million and a private fundraiser was engaged to connect the City to high donors or industries.

There being n o public comments, Mayor Halliday opened and closed the public h earing at 10:20 p.m.

Members of the City Council commended City staff for all the work with the project and especially Management Analyst Thomas.

Council Member Lamnin appreciated the inclusion of youth in the process and suggested to preserve youth murals; suggested some organizations such as the Rotary Club could be a partner in helping fundraise; suggested a memorial grove, a labyrinth or a brick as fundraising strategies; appreciated that Wi-Fi was to be built in from the start; suggested installing stands with bicycle repair tools for the park and mentioned Fixit Clinic is an organization that has a network of volunteers who can fix things; and suggested considering co-working space as a revenue stream.

Council Member Márquez underscored the valuable services already provided at the center would be expanded upon through the project; noted that while incorporating the youth was key, there was also a need to have space for elders where they could feel safe; committed to contributing funds and invited all to join in fundraising efforts; and made a motion to approve the staff’s recommendation.

Mayor Halliday seconded the motion.

Council Member Andrews supported acknowledging the artists in some capacity and adding the art on the building or elsewhere in the city ; agreed with the size of the multi-purpose room, recognizing that larger rooms would require more funding for the project; was excited about on-site care for newborns; suggested considering organizations that can share the space and help with cost sharing on weekend s; suggested fundraising opportunities through benches, naming rooms and incorporating donors; noted the movie screen would serve as a go to destination; supported Council Member Zermeño’s comments about incorporating bike repair stations; and noted that it might be worth considering bike storage and lockers if the facility was a site where individuals might work.

Council Member Márquez deferred to Mayor Halliday to make the motion as the mayor had worked hard to make the site a reality; and she seconded the motion.

Mayor Halliday stated that members of the Council made great suggestions, but did not think that buildings could be enlarged, noting that the proposed site would not be able to function as event space but would be more oriented as a youth and fa mily center for education and health care; noted the cost had increased and that the project had received large contributions thus far recognizing the need to invest in that sector of the community; and suggested staff could upda te the Council on contributions received or updates through an informational report.

Council Member Zermeño stated the project was a tremendous accomplishment for the Tennyson Corridor, added it would benefit the vast commun ity in South Hayward , acknowledged individuals who supported the project; and supported donor bricks to raise funds, noting he would be the first to donate $100.
