Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Second Amendment to the Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement with RCD GP IV, LLC and Parcel Group 8, L.P. to Accelerate the Relocation of Occupants for the Transfer of Specified City Owned Properties and for the Development of Housing CONS 25-354 Staff report submitted by Assistant City Manager Thomas, dated August 19, 2025, was filed.
Jennifer Feney, Bridge Court tenant, opposed the plan to move tenants out within 90 days, citing personal hardships, loss of open space and wildlife, and poor property conditions; and questioned the City's accountability, ownership of the property, and lack of transparency regarding the environmental study.
Juan Figueroa, Bridge Court resident, argued that the 90-day notices amount to permanent displacement without legally required comparable housing; stressed that project funding and timelines are uncertain; and urged the City to delay relocation until construction is guaranteed, calling for transparency and fairness.
Dr. Ann E. Maris, Castro Valley resident, supported Bridge Court tenants; opposed accelerating evictions without a secured, funded plan; noted existing neighborhood issues such as a new cannabis dispensary; and urged the City Council to vote no on the early displacement.
Development Services Director Buizer noted that the original Disposition Development and Loan Agreement's zero displacement provision is no longer practical given significant deferred maintenance, and the goal now is to encourage tenants to relocate sooner through incentives and assistance.
In response to Council Member Bonilla Jr's request for clarity on whether tenants must vacate in 90 days and how relocation would work, Deputy Development Services Director Morales noted it is voluntary, incentive-based relocation and the RCD's relocation consultant would provide personalized housing search assistance based on tenant preference.
In response to Council Member Bonilla Jr's inquiry about deeply affordable units, Development Services Deputy Director Morales and Project Manager Mizes-Tan confirmed the project will include 30%, 50%, and 60% AMI units.
Council Member Roche confirmed her understanding that relocation assistance was originally tied to construction start but is now being offered earlier due to delays and significant deferred maintenance; and tenants are not required to leave in 90 days but may receive greater incentives if they move sooner.
In response to Council Member Zermeño's inquiry as to how many households remain at Bridge Court, Development Servies Director Buizer responded there are six.
In response to Council Member Andrews' inquiry about tenant outreach regarding the proposed acceleration, Development Services Deputy Director Morales noted the City met with households on July 21, 2025, to present the proposal and allow feedback.
It was moved by Council Member Goldstein, seconded by Council Member Bonilla Jr., and carried unanimously, to adopt the resolution.

PUBLIC HEARING
9. Tree Preservation Ordinance: Introduce an Ordinance Amending the Hayward Municipal Code to Update Chapter 10 (Planning, Zoning and Subdivision), Article 15 (Tree Preservation Ordinance), Establishing New Regulatory Guidelines for the Designation, Removal and Mitigation of Protected Trees in the City of Hayward; Proposed Amendments to the 2026 Master Fee Schedule, and Finding the Proposed Project is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Pursuant to Section 15307 (Class 7) and Section 15308 (Class 8) of the CEQA Guidelines PH 25-037 Staff report submitted by Development Services Director Buizer, dated August 19, 2025, was filed
Development Services Director Buizer announced the item and introduced Planning Manager Lochirco and Landscape Architect Jensen who provided a synopsis of the staff report.
Discussion ensued among members of the City Council, Planning Manager Lochirco, Landscape Architect Jensen, Airport Manager McNeeley, and the following clarifications were made: heritage trees are classified by criteria including age, native species status, habitat value, and cultural or city significance; the City could explore using the in-lieu program to help low-income households; the Maintenance Services Department is undertaking a citywide tree inventory and a new canopy-mapping software may help estimate ages; Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) height restrictions apply to trees in airport safety zones, and exemption language allows pruning or removal if trees intrude into protected airspace; fruit trees are allowed now and generally not regulated as protected trees; the ordinance exempts homeowners in high or very high fire severity zones (per Cal Fire maps) from tree-removal permit fees if they proactively reduce fire risk and future work with the Fire Department will include "zone zero" buffers and defensible space guidelines; FAA flight zones are established by federal law and are not City regulations; Zone F is the 10,000-foot airport influence area, but the most restrictive zones are near runways; FAA grant assurances require airports to mitigate hazards, including trees that penetrate protected airspace; the intent is not to incentivize removing mature trees but to give developers flexibility; if a site cannot sustain replacement trees, in-lieu fees can be used to plant in underserved areas; any future project would undergo environmental review, endangered species assessments, and compliance with the ordinance, and no blanket removal authority would be granted; the proposed ordinance does not permit automatic tree removal at the former Skvwest Golf Course or anywhere else; FAA regulations are binding due to federal grant assurances, and the ordinance now separates FAA rules from City rules for clarity; the airport planting guidelines in the appendix are non-regulatory and can be updated administratively; education will be key in implementing the ordinance and could involve neighborhood groups, nurseries, and the library; and for large projects, City staff is required by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) law to conduct outreach, public scoping and responses to all comments.
Council Member Zermeño suggested labeling heritage trees.
Council Member Syrop suggested also covering "moderately high" fire severity zones for tree removal fee exemption, allowing loss-of-insurance documentation as proof for exemptions, and streamlining the process so residents are not discouraged from wildfire-hardening their homes.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. underscored the importance of an extensive outreach process and understanding their concerns.
Council Member Andrews asked City staff to use Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency landscaping classes and the Clean and Green Commission for ordinance education; and suggested the Public Safety Committee could review insurance and fire-risk mapping in relation to the ordinance.
Mayor Salinas opened the public hearing at 9:26 p.m.
Peggy Guernsey noted past City and developer actions that removed mature trees and replaced them with species that cause maintenance and health issues; shared a personal experience where the City denied a neighbor's request to remove a heritage tree, which later damaged her roof; and urged the City to act with greater care.
Sandra Frost supported the City considering a preservation ordinance but noted it lacks a complete tree inventory or a robust arboriculture program; and expressed opposition to potential airport expansion into Skywest, citing habitat loss, floodplain risks, and past CEQA failures.
Randy Waage agreed with other speakers' concerns about Skywest, questioning why the airport ordinance's section requires specific plant lists rather than making them recommendations; warned this could make park or open space development at Skywest cost-prohibitive; and urged removing what he sees as overreach by the airport provisions.
Tyler Dragoni supported the ordinance overall but noted the airport section is unclear, raising questions about whether the airport is currently in FAA compliance; urged for clearer maps and explanations; and asked whether the City must follow its own ordinance when removing trees from city-owned property.
Mimi Dean supported heritage tree protection but opposed broad use of in-lieu fees, stressing that disadvantaged should directly receive mitigation; and reiterated her support for preserving Skywest as open space, citing community feedback from prior outreach, potential habitat value, and consistency with the City's climate and sustainability goals.
Mayor Salinas closed the public hearing at 9:43 p.m.

Council Member Syrop noted the preservation ordinance is necessary to guide how trees are treated during development, either incentivizing preservation or discouraging removals; and urged staff to be sensitive to community concerns, especially in lower-income neighborhoods facing environmental injustice, and to consider preserving Skywest as open space, noting it was a top priority in recent strategic planning; and asked staff to work collaboratively with residents.
Council Member Zermeño supported the proposed ordinance but expressed skepticism about including airport-related provisions, fearing it could lead to unnecessary tree removals; suggested marking heritage trees for identification; supported permit reductions, protecting nesting trees, and using in-lieu fees to plant more trees; recalled city-approved removals of large trees in the past; and reiterated that trees near the airport could be trimmed rather than cut down.
Council Member Zermeño made a motion to move the item. Council Member Roche seconded the motion.
Council Member Roche voiced support for the ordinance, indicating its purpose is to increase protections for tree canopy; noted past removals often occurred because protections were lacking, and the ordinance will help prevent this while educating the public on the canopy's value; and emphasized that the intent is not to covertly remove trees but to grow and protect the canopy.
Council Member Andrews supported the ordinance, stressing its role in protecting trees amid climate change; called for renewed community outreach regarding Skywest, suggesting a dedicated space for discussions with developers to address public concerns; and asked staff to communicate clearly with residents about the status of Skywest projects.
Council Member Bonilla Jr. supported the ordinance for its role in protecting the tree canopy, while exploring Skywest as open space; and noted the airport landscaping provisions consolidate FAA requirements for clarity rather than creating new mandates to remove trees. In response to Council Member Bonilla Jr.'s inquiry about whether a tree inventory was needed before adopting the ordinance, Planning Manager Lochirco confirming a baseline canopy survey exists, with plans for updates every five years to monitor progress and guide planting in underserved areas.
Council Member Syrop requested staff explore insurance policy loss exemptions beyond designated high fire danger zones and consider using canopy data for enforcement, possibly through periodic Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) scans.
Council Member Goldstein praised the ordinance and staffs outreach efforts, appreciating how concerns were addressed; and credited community advocates Mimi Bauer and Minane Jameson from the Fairway Park Neighborhood Association for their canopy and tree preservation ordinance advocacy.
It was moved by Council Member Zermeño, seconded by Council Member Roche, and carried unanimously, to adopt the resolutions and introduce the ordinance.
