CHAVEZ DAY IN THE CITY OF HEALDSBURG
WHEREAS, in his time, César E. Chávez witnessed a booming economy that served those at the top yet left millions of hard-working Americans behind.

WHEREAS, Today, “La Causa” lives on, and building upon the work of Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta there is work that has yet to be done here at home. Sonoma County exists as an agricultural hub in the intersection of hospitality, wine, and tourism.

Farmworkers deserve language justice, hazard pay and disaster insurance as these tragic wildfires continue to affect our communities.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the City Council of the City of Healdsburg hereby declares March 31st, 2025, as Cesar Chavez Day. We call upon all of our community members to observe this day as a day of action, learning, building community, and creating education programs that honor Cesar E. Chavez.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Amend the Professional Service Agreement with Rincon Consultants, INC for the Development of a Long Range Energy and Demand Forecast PREPARED BY: Terry Crowley, Utilities Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Rincon Consulting, Inc. to improve long-range energy forecasts accuracy and increase the not to exceed amount to $114,713 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement on the City's behalf.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The development of a long-range electric energy forecast was included in the Climate Mobilization Strategy (CMS), which included a significant amount of outreach. In development of a long-range electric energy and demand forecast, staff held a public workshop to discuss initial results. Additional outreach is planned through an online survey to gather more public feedback for incorporation into the final energy forecast.

BACKGROUND:

In 2023 the City Council adopted the CMS. The adopted CMS includes measure BE-1.1 to develop a long-range electric energy and demand forecast. This forecast is needed to guide the City in purchasing new renewable energy resources and the reconstruction of the City’s electric system ahead of the higher electric demands created by building and transportation electrification.

In February of 2024, the City Council approved a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) with Rincon Consultants, INC. (Rincon) to assist City staff in the development of long-term energy forecasts. Rincon and staff completed initial forecasts and presented those results during a public workshop held on January 29. The energy forecasts are heavily dependent upon electric vehicle (EV) and building electrification adoption rates. Therefore, variations in adoption rates can cause a wide range in forecasted demands. Initial forecasts indicate Healdsburg’s annual energy

6.A
Packet Pg. 13
consumption could double as early as 2035.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Below are initial forecasts under various adoption rates for building and transportation electrification. Each forecast is based upon climate measures contained within the CMS and includes assumptions ranging from “business-as-usual” to overachieving CMS goals. Also shown is the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) energy forecast for Healdsburg, completed in 2023. Notable is that Healdsburg has already exceeded the CEC’s energy forecast. While these initial results need further refinement to improve accuracy, they are an indication of the magnitude of Healdsburg’s future energy demands. To determine when and how much renewable energy to purchase and how much capital dollars to invest in the City’s electric distribution system, the City must rely on these forecasts. Therefore, the accuracy of these forecasts becomes critical due to the significant financial commitment required to prepare for this higher energy consumption.

Graph showing Healdsburg’s flat historical electric usage since 2000 and forecasted energy consumption, under various levels of electrification, through 2045.

In the development of the initial energy forecasts, staff have identified key areas influencing forecasted demands needing further analysis and refinement. These areas include assumptions about what time of day and how quickly EVs will charge, impact of customer owned solar, refinement of daily energy consumption curves, and other improvements to the model’s assumptions. These adjustments are critical to creating accurate forecasts to inform significant, near-term and long-term financial decisions.

Refining the model further, to improve accuracy, requires additional scope not included within the original PSA. In working with City Staff, Rincon provided a proposed scope to further refine the model and provide additional information within the final report, including an appendix detailing all model assumptions and functional updates to the working model.

6.A
Packet Pg. 14
Staff’s recommendation is to amend the existing PSA allowing for the additional scope to improve the detail and accuracy of the long-range forecasts. The recommended PSA amendment provides $27,363 in additional consulting increasing the not to exceed amount to $114,713.

Additionally, staff recommends the City Council delegate authority to the City Manager to award up to 10% of the proposed not to exceed amount ($11,471) for unforeseen work.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Measure BE-1 in the CMS sets the goal to procure 85% of electricity from renewable and zerocarbon sources by 2030 and 100% renewable and carbon-free no later than 2045. If achieved this measure is expected to reduce GHG emissions by 2,171 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e) in 2030 assuming modest adoption rates of building and transportation electrification. An accurate long-range energy forecast will inform the City as to how much renewable low and no-carbon energy is necessary to achieve this CMS measure.

ALTERNATIVES:

As an alternative the City Council could choose not to approve the staff recommendation and direct staff to provide recommendations on renewable energy procurement and necessary electric system capacity based upon the initial results. Staff does not recommend this alternative due to the level risk of over or under purchasing renewable energy and/or overbuilding City electric infrastructure based upon the initial forecasts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement’s original not to exceed price was $79,409 with a ten percent contingency of $7,941 authorized to cover unforeseen data analysis and other associated work. To develop the initial forecasts and prepare for the public workshop amendments to the contract were approved increasing the not to exceed amount to the approved limit of $87,350. Approval of the recommended action would increase the contract not to exceed amount to $114,713 with a new 10% contingency of $11,471 bringing the total authorized amount to $126,184. There is sufficient authorized budget within the Electric Operations fund (Fund 540) to support the amendment without additional appropriations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

An Energy and Demand Forecast is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because an Energy and Demand Forecast is not a project, since it will not have a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect impact on the environment.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Amend the Professional Services Agreement Amendment with Coastland Engineering
PREPARED BY: David Willoughby, Building Official
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Coastland Engineering for general plan review and inspection services, extending the contract term to December 31, 2027, increasing the not to exceed amount by $200,000 to $250,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not Applicable.

BACKGROUND:

The City has engaged the services of Coastland Engineering through a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) originally executed on January 23, 2023, and they have provided quality service throughout that time. On January 1, 2025 the City and Coastland Engineering executed an amendment to the Original Agreement, extending the term expiration date to December 31, 2025 and increasing the not to exceed amount by $20,000 to $50,000.

The fees used to pay the consultant for plan review are obtained directly from the applicant when a building permit application is submitted to the City. Coastland Engineering charges the City 80% of the collected Plan Review Fees, or an hourly fee based on the attached rate sheet depending on the project (Attachment 2).

The City uses consultants for plan review and building inspections to supplement department plan review and inspection services as needed.

6.B
Packet Pg. 18
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The scope of work for this PSA includes both Building Division and Fire Department plan review and inspection services giving the City additional breadth to cover plan review and inspections when city inspectors have time off and additional help is needed, as well as providing additional capacity during periods of high construction activity. All plan review and building inspection 3rd party consultants are extremely busy and are not always able to provide services on short notice, therefore having numerous consultants is expedient. Coastland Engineering and Bureau Veritas currently provide plan review and building inspection services for the City of Healdsburg and InterWest provides plan review services only. Coastland Engineering has submitted a new proposal to continue providing services through 2027. The extended term length will require increasing the not to exceed amount by $200,000 to $250,000.

Staff are recommending Council approve the proposed Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Coastland Engineering for general plan review and inspection services, extending the contract term to December 31, 2027, and increasing the not to exceed amount by $200,000 to $250,000. Staff are also recommending Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not Applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Council could choose not to approve the proposed Amendment and provide further direction to staff on how to proceed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed amendment with Coastland Engineering is for an additional two-year term ending December 2027, increasing the total not to exceed amount of $250,000. Expenses associated with the contract will occur in the Building Division of the General Fund. The proposed not to exceed amount is designed to provide flexibility to adapt to the demand for services, however contract expenses are subject to the availability of appropriations in the Building Division.

Building and planning fees associated with plan review and building inspection services are determined by the master fee schedule and collected from the applicant upon submission of a building permit application. The fees are designed to recover the cost of the City providing these services directly. The proposed contract with Coastland Engineering for external plan review and building inspection services will be billed at a fixed rate of 80% of the plan review fees collected. The remaining plan review fees collected cover the City costs of facilitating the external process. Additional services provided by Coastland Engineering that are not included at the fixed rate will be billed on a time and materials basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act and Title 14, the California Code of Regulations (“CEQA Guidelines”), Section 15378(b) (2), continued administrative actions do not qualify as a “Project”. Therefore, no further CEQA or environmental review is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Lease Amendment for Recycled Water Use at Tayman Golf Course PREPARED BY: Patrick Fuss, Water/Wastewater Engineer
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving the Tayman Park Golf Group Amendment to Tayman Park Lease Agreement (“Amendment”) and Agreement For the Use of Recycled Water(“Agreement”) and authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment and use agreement on the City’s behalf.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Staff identified the Project in the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and presented it to the public on August 23, 2021, at a Council workshop and on September 22, 2021, at a public workshop. Staff presented this Project to: the Parks Commission on August 10, 2022, to the Russian River Watershed Association on October 11, 2022, and October 26, 2023, the Climate Action Healdsburg on October 12, 2022, the Healdsburg Rotary Club on March 6, 2023, at the Climate Fest event on April 22, 2023, and at the Climate Mobilization Strategy Workshop on July 26, 2023. Staff updated the City Council on the Project status on December 18, 2023, at a publicly noticed City Council meeting. Staff conducted a duly noticed public hearing for the EIR amendment for this Project at the January 16, 2024, City Council meeting. On September 3, 2024, during a regularly scheduled Council meeting, the City Council established monthly meter and volumetric usage fees for municipal recycled water.

BACKGROUND:

The Healdsburg Golf Club at Tayman Park is a nine-hole municipal golf course owned by the City of Healdsburg and operated by the Tayman Park Golf Group, Inc (“TPGG”). The course is a par 35 layout with a distance approximately 2,700 yards from the back tees, with golfers having the option to play either nine or eighteen holes. There is also a three-level driving range with 18 stations, a pro shop, special event space, and clubhouse facility.

The City leases the course to the TPGG, a regional golf course management and operations firm.

6.C
Packet Pg. 29
The original lease was executed in 1986 between the City and Silband Sports Corporation and assigned to TPGG in 1999. Over the last 25 years there have been a series of amendments to the lease. The current lease has 27 years remaining on the term, with an expiration date of August 19, 2052. Under the current lease, TPGG has free access to water either from the City’s Fitch Wellfield or through the supplemental well located on the golf course The City applied for and was awarded a grant under the California Department of Water Resources’ Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant Program. The purpose of this grant is to construct a recycled water pipeline to deliver recycled water to municipal turf areas such as parks, schools, athletic fields, and cemeteries to offset the use of potable water currently used for irrigation. Staff estimate that approximately 27 million gallons per year of potable water (including water suitable for potable water) can be replaced by recycled water when the grantfunded Municipal Recycled Water Pipeline Project (Project) is operational. Staff also estimates that approximately 18.5 million-gallons of the 27 million-gallon projection would be used at the golf course. TPGG estimates approximately 37 million gallons of usage.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Amendment is attached as Exhibit A to the Resolution that defines TPGG rights in and priority to use recycled water over well water from a supplemental well (located at Tee Box #2) and water diverted from the Russian River from the Fitch Wellfield’s #4 well (at Badger Park).

Staff negotiated the Agreement, attached as Exhibit B, with TPGG and developed mutually agreeable terms, including:

1. The Agreement limits the use of recycled water to not exceed 2.89 feet per acre per year to avoid excessive irrigation beyond the needs of the turf.

2. The recycled water monitoring and reporting requirements are the requirement of TPGG in accordance with the City’s recycled water use permit and the Agreement.

3. The Agreement allows the City to modify the Agreement remain consistent with both State and Federal regulations related to recycled water use.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

TPGG has confirmed that the course is ready to receive recycled water for irrigation when the City delivers it. This will offset the use of approximately 18.5 to 37 million gallons of potentially potable water for irrigation (raw water that has not been disinfected or further treated to meet drinking water standards). Using recycled water for irrigation leaves more potable water available for use by the City’s residents and businesses.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may elect not to approve the Lease Amendment and/or Agreement, or Council may request a change to the negotiated terms of either or both documents. If Council so elects, staff requests additional direction from Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the current lease, the City provides TPGG free access to water either from the Fitch Wellfield or through the supplemental well located on the golf course. Under the proposed Amendment and Agreement, TPGG will pay the City’s water department the monthly meter fee as established and updated by the City Council. The current monthly meter fee is $371.90 per

6.C
Packet Pg. 30
month and is estimated to produce roughly $4,463 per year in revenue for the water operating fund. Under the proposed agreement, TPGG will not be responsible for paying the usage fee, currently set at $5.66 per hundred cubic feet (HCF). Therefore, a significant portion of the cost of providing recycled water including energy costs to deliver recycled water, routine maintenance cost, replacement costs, and ongoing administrative costs will be paid from unrestricted sources of revenue other than revenue from water rates.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

On January 16, 2024, the City Council adopted an amendment to the 2005 Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades EIR that included this project. The amendment addressed potential impacts from the project encroaching on agricultural land. With the original EIR and subsequent amendments, any potentially significant impacts identified were evaluated and determined that with mitigation the impacts could be reduced to less-than-significant levels. These mitigation measures are summarized in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. These mitigation measures include compensating farmers for lost revenue due to impacted agricultural land, protecting against erosion, requiring emission and noise controls on contractor equipment, monitoring cultural and historic artifacts, protecting existing utilities from damage, and monitoring recycled water applications to be within permissible volumes allowed by the City’s recycled water use permit with the State of California.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed for 1408 University Street
PREPARED BY: Griselda Villarreal, Administrative Analyst II STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving a Deed Restriction and Quitclaim Deed between the City of Healdsburg and Shriners Hospitals for Children, Assignees of the Estate of Claire E. Gauntlett, for the property located at 1408 University Street (APN 002-533-002), authorizing the City Manager to execute said agreement and Quitclaim Deed.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

This item is scheduled for discussion at a public meeting, during which allocated time will be provided for public comments.

BACKGROUND:

On January 9, 1957, Healdsburg residents Cecil G. Gauntlett and Claire E. Gauntlett (“Grantors”) conveyed 1408 University Street (“Property”) by grant deed (“Grant Deed”) to the City of Healdsburg.

On January 22, 1957, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12 (1957) approving and accepting the Grant Deed, which restricted the use of the Property to a municipal Fire House Station or other municipal purposes, subject to the written approval of the Grantors (the “Deed Restriction”).

In December 1970, following the passing of both Grantors, the estate and the interest in the Deed Restriction passed to Shriners Hospitals for Children (“Shriners”).

In 1989, an Engineering Geological Investigation report was completed, and thorough analysis and subsequent reviews determined that the Property is not suitable for development as a Fire

6.D
Packet Pg. 57
House or other similar municipal purposes due to geological and topographical limitations.

On August 22, 2022, the City received a building permit for the construction of a Healdsburg Fire Substation on a 0.85-acre parcel of land located at 1804 Healdsburg Avenue, negating the need for a Municipal Fire House Station at 1408 University Street.

On December 12, 2023, with the active construction of a Fire Substation underway on the Healdsburg Avenue site, City Staff held initial discussions with Shriners regarding the potential removal of the Deed Restriction.

On February 14, 2025, Shriners executed the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed (“Agreement”), releasing the Deed Restriction.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The requested action of the Council is to authorize the City Manager to execute the Certificate of Acceptance and any necessary documents for recording the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed with the County Recorder.

This action is solely to remove the Deed Restriction. Staff will return to the City Council at a later date with a recommendation on the property's disposition.

After engaging in negotiations and discussions with City staff, Shriners has agreed to remove the Deed Restriction from the Property, which will allow the City to begin the Surplus Land Act (“SLA”) process to eventually sell and/or transfer the Property free and clear. Compliance with the SLA would involve the determination as to whether a proposed project or use qualifies for an exemption from the SLA, and the City would make appropriate findings. If there is no such project or the City determines that an SLA exemption is not applicable, but it wishes to entertain negotiations from interested parties, it would issue a Notice of Availability and conduct good faith negotiations with responding parties. Upon conclusion of the negotiation period, the City would make a determination about how to proceed with disposition in compliance with the SLA.

Property Description
The Property consists of a vacant City-owned lot at 1408 University Street (APN 002-533-002), with an area of approximately 1.23 acres. The Property has direct access to University Street.

The rear of the parcel slopes from 220 feet to 250 feet and has limited development potential.

After a thorough analysis, including a geotechnical investigation, it has been determined that the Property is not suitable for development as a Municipal Fire House Station of other similar municipal purposes due to geological and topographical limitations.

6.D
Packet Pg. 58
Zoning
The Property at 1408 Healdsburg Avenue is zoned R-1-12,500, which requires a minimum parcel size of 12,500 square feet, with a General Plan designation of Low Density Residential (1 to 3 units per acre). The Property is within a Hillside Overlay district, which imposes additional requirements for hillside parcels.

An appraisal report to estimate the market value of the vacant Property was conducted by real estate evaluation consultant Dana W. Burwell on January 15, 2024. Based on his analysis, the market value of the Property is estimated to be one million dollars ($1,000,000).

California Surplus Land Act
Given that the Property has been deemed unsuitable for use as a Municipal Fire House Station and a Fire Substation has already been constructed at 1804 Healdsburg Avenue, and it has also been considered unsuitable for other similar municipal purposes, the City wishes to explore selling the Property.

Prior to selling or otherwise transferring the Property, the City must first comply with the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code § 54220 et seq.), which requires public agencies to issue a Notice of Availability for non-exempt surplus land to specific interested parties, groups or entities, including affordable housing developers and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

6.D
Packet Pg. 59
Should the Surplus Land Act process not result in affordable housing development, and the City still wishes to sell the Property, the removal of the Deed Restriction will facilitate this process and enable the sale to proceed without restrictions.

Recommendation
Upon analysis and review of the Property, City Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Certificate of Acceptance. Removing the Deed Restriction would allow the City to market the Property free and clear (subject to SLA compliance). Staff will return to Council at a later date with a recommendation on the Property’s disposition.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

The approval of this item does not have a direct correlation to environmental stewardship.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may choose to:

1. Deny the recommendation to approve the signing of the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed, or

2. Direct staff to make further revisions or seek additional information before proceeding with the approval.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Property at 1408 University Street was conveyed to the City at no cost. The removal of the Deed Restriction will allow the City to explore options for the Property, including potential marketing and sale, subject to future City Council direction. If the Council directs staff to proceed with a sale, the transaction could generate proceeds for municipal purposes. Based on the appraisal conducted by Dana W. Burwell, the Property is valued at approximately one million dollars ($1,000,000).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The approval and acceptance of the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed is not a “project” as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15378 because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (Section 15378(b).) The action involves no physical activity that would cause or otherwise enable physical changes to the Property, nor does it involve the issuance of any permit or entitlement to do so. There is no project or use being proposed at this time, and any CEQA analysis would be premature because “too little is known about environmental impacts to which it might lead to allow those impacts to be meaningfully analyzed.” (Friends of the Sierra Railroad v. Tuolumne Park & Recreation Dist. (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 643, 664.)
Further, even if the action were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, the action would be exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines section

6.D
Packet Pg. 60
15061(b).) The action merely accepts the removal of a deed restriction on the Property and proposes no physical changes or uses to the Property. No project, use, or transfer of the Property is being proposed at this time. The City will engage in the appropriate CEQA analysis when and if a project is proposed. Therefore, the action is exempt from CEQA.

WHEREAS, upon death of the Grantors, their estate, including the right to enforce the Deed Restriction, passed to Shriners Hospitals for Children (“Shriners”) as of December 1970; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined through thorough analysis, including a geotechnical investigation, that the Property is not suitable for development as a Municipal Fire House Station or other similar municipal purposes due to geological and topographical limitations; and WHEREAS, the City is required to comply with the California Surplus Land Act (Government Code§ 54220 et seq.) (the “SLA”), which mandates that public agencies first issue a Notice of Availability for non-exempt surplus land to certain interested parties, groups or entities, including affordable housing developers and the California Department of Housing and Community Development; and
WHEREAS, Shriners has agreed to remove the Deed Restriction from the Property to allow the City to market the Property free and clear by executing the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed, attached hereto as “Exhibit A” and incorporated herein by this reference, which will allow the City to market the Property free and clear (subject to SLA compliance).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Healdsburg that it finds the foregoing recitals are true and correct, and they are hereby incorporated by reference into

6.D.a
Packet Pg. 62
Attachment: Resolution (4775 : 1408 University Street - Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed) Resolution No. – 2025

this Resolution.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Healdsburg:

1. Finds that approval and acceptance of the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed is not a “project” as defined by California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15378 because it is an administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (Section 15378(b).) The action involves no physical activity that would cause or otherwise enable physical changes to the Property, nor does it involve the issuance of any permit or entitlement to do so. There is no project or use being proposed at this time, and any CEQA analysis would be premature because “too little is known about environmental impacts to which it might lead to allow those impacts to be meaningfully analyzed.” (Friends of the Sierra Railroad v. Tuolumne Park & Recreation Dist. (2007) 147 Cal.App.4th 643, 664.)
Further, even if the action were to be considered a “project” under CEQA, the action would be exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b).) The action merely accepts the removal of a deed restriction on the Property, and proposes no physical changes or uses to the Property. No project, use, or transfer of the Property is being proposed at this time. The City will engage in the appropriate CEQA analysis when and if a project is proposed. Therefore, the action is exempt from CEQA.

2. Approves the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Certificate of Acceptance and any documents necessary for recordation of the Deed Restriction Termination and Quitclaim Deed with the County Recorder.

SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with The KPA Group PREPARED BY: Tyler Kettmann, Central Services Manager
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Adopt a Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with The KPA Group, in the not-to-exceed amount of $91,710 to develop a Space Utilization and Condition Assessment Study for City-owned facilities, authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City, and amending the adopted budget.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

On October 3, 2024, City staff requested proposals (RFP) from qualified consultant firms/teams with relevant experience and knowledge to develop a Space Utilization and Condition Assessment Study for the City-Owned facilities listed below in Table I.A. (Project) The purpose of the Project is twofold. First, to provide an analysis of and recommendations for changes to the internal configuration of the facilities to maximize effective usage of space by the City staff.

Second, to assess the relative condition of the facilities and develop a prioritized schedule of corrective work and preventative maintenance items. The Project will include a formal report, conceptual designs, timeline, and cost estimates that address both limitations and opportunities for reconfiguring the space to better meet current and future needs. The Project will identify near-term changes and upgrades in the layout of services (both public facing and internal facing) that will improve public service and staff effectiveness, as well as identifying long-term changes that may include significant structural alterations or improvements.

The Fire Station is a one-story structure, constructed in c. 1991-92. The facility includes a public lobby, fire station offices, and assembly areas (training room), kitchen and dining area, exercise room, and locker room facilities.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Two qualified firms submitted proposals within the specified submittal deadline. Staff reviewed both proposals and determined they met the minimum submittal requirements, including scope of services, recommended details and submittal forms and statements. Staff formed an evaluation committee and scored proposals against pre-established criteria in accordance with the RFP.

Based on this evaluation, The KPA Group was deemed most qualified to complete this work.

Staff recommend approving a Professional Services Agreement with The KPA Group, in the notto-exceed amount of $91,710 to develop a Space Utilization and Condition Assessment Study for City-owned facilities and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not Applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to approve the agreement with The KPA Group. If Council selects this alternative, staff requests further direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed contract with The KPA Group to complete a Space Utilization and Condition Assessment Study at the Police and Fire Stations has a not to exceed amount of $91,710. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget includes $30,000 in the Building Maintenance Fund for the condition assessment at the Police Station funded by current year internal service fees paid from the Police Department budget in the General Fund. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget includes an additional $25,000 in the Building Maintenance Fund for the condition assessment at the Fire Station funded by internal service fees paid in 2025-26 from the Fire Department budget in the General Fund. To initiate the project in the current Fiscal Year staff propose advancing the Fiscal Year 2025-26 appropriations of $25,000 into Fiscal Year 2024-25 and adding an additional $36,710 for a total budget of $91,710. The proposed budget adjustments will realign the Building Maintenance fund expenses and fees for the project to be funded equally by the Fire and Police Department internal service fees in Fiscal Year 2024-25 in accordance with the cost estimates included in the proposal.

Packet Pg. 65
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The recommended action does not constitute a “project” under CEQA, pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4)(5) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The future construction project will be subject to environmental review and pending approval pursuant to CEQA and NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) guidelines at a future date.

CITY OF HEALDSBURG

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: 2024 Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) Annual Report PREPARED BY: Ellen McDowell, Senior Planner
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Establish Proactive Policies/Programs to Continue to Promote Economic Diversity & Sustainable Growth
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

By motion, accept the annual report.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

No community outreach has occurred for the preparation of the Growth Management Annual Report given that it is an informational report.

BACKGROUND:

Measure M, a residential growth management initiative, was approved by Healdsburg voters on November 7, 2000. This measure limited residential building permits to an average of 30 units per year and no more than 90 over a 3-year period, with affordable units and accessory dwelling units exempt. Measure P, approved by voters on November 6, 2018, amended the City’s Growth Management Ordinance to allow an average of 50 additional multifamily rental units per year, not to exceed 150 units in a 3-year period, restricted to households earning no more than 160% of the Sonoma County Area Median Income, adjusted for household size for the unit. Measure H, approved by voters on March 3, 2020, amended Measure P’s additional unit allowance to permit these units to be for sale as well as for rent.

The Policies and Procedures for the Healdsburg Residential Growth Management Program were revised twice in 2019, first in January to recognize and implement passage of Measure P and secondly in May to incorporate recommendations made in 2018 by the Community Housing Committee, which had considered Growth Management policies at the direction of the Council.

The second revision of the Policies and Procedures in May 2019 also initiated a slightly new way of administering Healdsburg’s Growth Management program along with slightly increased flexibility. Several large projects had been approved, making growth management allocations difficult to secure for projects seeking the 30 units allowed under Measure M, and the City

6.G
Packet Pg. 105
Council was interested in adding flexibility within the parameters of the Growth Management Ordinance. The Policies and Procedures were further updated in May 2020 to reflect the changes made by Measure H allowing for Category C projects to include multifamily for sale units in addition to multifamily rental units. Category C projects are defined as those with 50 or fewer multifamily rental or for sale units restricted to households earning no more than 160% of the Sonoma County Area Median Income, adjusted for household size for the unit.

The Policies and Procedures allow all 90 Category A (projects of four or fewer units) and B (projects of five or more units) allocations to be available in year one of a three-year period, rather than 30 units at the beginning of each year within the three-year period, which enables projects to receive allocations while fulfilling the Measure M provision of no more than an average of 30 units per year. The Policies and Procedures also allow all 150 Category C allocations to be available in year one of a three-year period rather than 50 units at the beginning of each year within the three-year period. Changes to the definitions of Category A and B to allow more cross-allocation also increases flexibility.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The Policies and Procedures, Section 6. Administration requires the Community Development Director to prepare an annual report and sets forth the specific content of the report. Responses are shown in italics below each item.
(1) The number of dwelling allocations issued during the three-year period and in future periods.

The year 2024 was year 3 of a 3-year period under the Growth Management Program (Cycle 8). At the end of 2024, there were 83 allocations (11 Category A and 60 Category B and 12 Category C) issued for the 3-year period. In 2024, four (4) Category A allocations were issued to construct four (4) new single-family dwellings, 10 Category B and 12 Category C allocations were issued for 3 Healdsburg Avenue (a 30-unit multifamily project). The Mill District had 40 allocations assigned per the Development Agreement between the City of Healdsburg and Replay Healdsburg LLC. None of these 40 allocations were used during Cycle 8 and expired on December 31, 2024. The 10 allocations assigned to Saggio Hills for Cycle 8 were also not used.

In accordance with the Development Agreement between the City of Healdsburg and Replay Healdsburg LLC, unused GMO allocations that would expire or be forfeited at the end of a calendar year shall, if requested, be issued to the Mill District project. On December 31, 2024, the end of Cycle 8, ten (10) Saggio Hill allocations were set to expire or be forfeited and nineteen (19) Category A allocations were set to expire. On December 16, 2024, Replay Healdsburg LLC requested that any expiring allocations be assigned to the Mill District project. The 10 expiring allocations from Saggio Hills and the 19 unused Category A allocations, for a total of 29 allocations, have been reassigned to the Mill District and will expire on December 31, 2027, if unused. (2) The number of building permits issued for dwelling units during the prior year, including the Category of dwelling allocation and whether the permitted unit was exempt from the Growth Management Ordinance.

6.G
Packet Pg. 106
The City of Healdsburg issued permits for 107 new residential dwelling units in 2024. Of these, 77 were exempt from the Growth Management Ordinance. The exempt units include 14 accessory dwelling units, 56 affordable units and 7 replacement units.

The 26 units subject to the GMO included four (4) Category A, ten (10) Category B, and 12 Category C allocations were issued in 2024.
(3) The status of any waiting list.

A waiting list was not established for Cycle 8 during 2024. (4) A description of any significant problems that arose during the prior year in administering the Growth Management Program.

No significant problems arose in administering the Growth Management Program during 2024. However, scarcity of Category B allocations will remain an issue with only 15 Category B allocations available for new projects through the end of the current 3-year cycle ending on December 31, 2027 (Cycle 9).
(5) Recommendations with regard to changes or revisions to these Policies and Procedures to improve their effectiveness and/or administration.

Revised Growth Management Ordinance Policies and Procedures were last adopted by the City Council in May 2020; no revisions are recommended at this time.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

The Healdsburg Growth Management Ordinance limits the number of residential units annually, which helps the City plan for, accommodate, and meter growth, which in turn may have environmental benefits such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

ALTERNATIVES:

No alternative has been identified since the report is required in accordance with the Policies and Procedures for the Healdsburg Residential Growth Management Program, Section 6.

Administration.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The administration of the Growth Management Program is supported by the processing fee assessed for growth management allocations. According to the current fee schedule, the fee is $758.04 per growth management allocation. There is no fiscal impact related to the proposed action.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The annual report is not a “project” that is subject to environmental review because the report represents a compilation of information and could not possibly impact the environment (California Environmental Quality Act, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061). Therefore, no further environmental review of the annual report is required.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: 2024 General Plan Annual Report
PREPARED BY: Ellen McDowell, Senior Planner
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Establish Proactive Policies/Programs to Continue to Promote Economic Diversity & Sustainable Growth
Pursue Initiatives that Promote Environmental Stewardship Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
Maintain and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities
Provide Effective Governance
Maintain and Enhance Public Health and Safety
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

By motion, accept the 2024 General Plan Annual Report and direct staff to file with the appropriate state agencies.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

No specific outreach has occurred for the preparation of this General Plan Annual Report since it is an informational report. Implementation of General Plan goals and policies typically involves engagement of the community.

BACKGROUND:

The Healdsburg 2030 General Plan helps to guide decision making by residents, property owners, business interests, and elected and appointed officials about public and private land use and development that shape Healdsburg’s physical environment.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

State law requires the City submit an annual report to the City Council, the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan and progress made in its implementation.

Additionally, General Plan Implementation Measure AI-1 requires the preparation of an annual report to the Planning Commission and City Council, focusing on actions undertaken in the

6.H
Packet Pg. 108
previous year to carry out General Plan implementation measures, outlining actions planned for the coming year and identifying necessary revisions to the policy document.

In 2024, the City Council took numerous actions which forwarded goals and policies included in the General Plan. Attachment 1 to this report provides summaries of those actions by element of the General Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Implementation of many General Plan goals and policies as outlined in the attached report reflects ongoing environmental stewardship.

ALTERNATIVES:

The report is a presentation of information only.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no fiscal implications associated with acceptance of the General Plan Annual Report.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The General Plan Annual Report is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (the “common sense exemption”) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the General Plan Annual Report will have a significant effect on the environment.

General Plan Annual Report
2024 – Year in Review

INTRODUCTION
The 2030 General Plan, adopted July 6, 2009, provides a strategic program for addressing and planning for the quality of life and needs of the Healdsburg community through 2030. It includes all the state required elements as well as additional optional elements important to the Healdsburg community. The document consists of guiding principles and goals, policies and implementation programs, and it guides the physical development of the City. The report has been prepared in accordance with the State Office of Planning and Research’s General Plan Guidelines.

California state law requires that an annual report be prepared and presented to the City Council, along with delivery to the Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development by April 1. Local policy also addresses annual reporting, providing additional direction.

General Plan policy AI-1 directs preparation of an annual report to the Planning Commission and City Council which focuses on actions undertaken in the previous year to carry out General Plan implementation measures, outlines actions planned for the coming year and identifies any necessary revisions.

This report addresses these requirements and outlines how key General Plan goals have been implemented over the last calendar year. The complete General Plan is available on the City’s website at https://www.ci.healdsburg.ca.us/354/General-Plan.

GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION ACTIONS IN 2024
State law allows amendment of the General Plan up to four times per year. During 2024, one General Plan amendment was considered by the Planning Commission and City Council. The General Plan Amendment amended the General Plan to incorporate the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan by reference into the Safety Element.

Progress was made in advancing key implementation actions during 2024. Below is a summary of implementation actions completed or underway by General Plan element.

LAND USE/COMMUNITY DESIGN
The Land Use Element sets forth the density and intensity of land uses and addresses development and redevelopment of land within the Urban Growth Boundary. It includes the Land Use Plan (map) and goals, policies, and implementation measures. The Community Design Element addresses the visual quality and character of Healdsburg’s built environment. The following summarizes new development in the City.

North Village
In February 2020, the Planning Commission approved a Master Conditional Use Permit for the North Village Project, a 32-acre mixed-use development in north Healdsburg. The project includes a senior community (Enso Village) with 221 independent living units (30 affordable) and 54 assisted living/memory care units; 75 multifamily apartments and 5 live-work units (53 affordable and 27 middle6.H.a Packet Pg. 110 Attachment: 2024 General Plan Annual Report [Revision 1] (4788 : 2024 General Plan Annual Report) 2 City of Healdsburg General Plan Annual Report Calendar Year 2024 income); 12,000 square feet of retail/commercial; and a 108-key hotel with restaurant, bar, and event space.

In 2020, the City Council approved the Development Agreement, which includes benefits to the City such as affordable housing units, construction of a fire department substation, and connectivity improvements including a shuttle from the site to downtown. In May 2021, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permits and Design Review applications for the mixed-use and hotel components of the project. Building Permits for the senior community component (Enso Village) were issued in 2021 and construction was completed in 2024. The hotel building permit was issued in 2023 and construction was underway in 2024. In 2024, building permits were issued for 53 affordable residential units and 12,000 square feet of retail/commercial space and construction is underway.

The North Village project helps implement Housing Element Goal H-A which calls for the City to “maximize opportunities for the development of a variety of housing types to accommodate anticipated growth, facilitate mobility within both the ownership and rental markets, and encourage a diverse community.”
Mill District
In 2019, the City Council and the Planning Commission approved the Mill District mixed-use project to redevelop the 9.59-acre site located at 146 and 164 Healdsburg Avenue with 146 market-rate residential units, 30 middle-income residential units, 16 low-income residential units 24 very low-income residential units, 15,000 square feet of commercial space, 53 hotel rooms, and a 0.78-acre park. The building permits for the affordable housing component of the project were issued in 2021 and construction was completed in 2024 and the units occupied. Entitlements for the amenity and retail building were approved by the Planning Commission in 2024, and construction continued on the market-rate residential component of the project.

The Mill District project helps implement Housing Element Goal H-A, which calls for the City to “maximize opportunities for the development of a variety of housing types to accommodate anticipated growth, facilitate mobility within both the ownership and rental markets, and encourage a diverse community.”
Saggio Hills
In 2024, the City advanced multiple projects associated with the overall Saggio Hills development including the affordable housing component of the Saggio Hills project. The Saggio Hills affordable housing project advances General Plan Program H-14 which calls for the City to “develop the Saggio Hills affordable housing site with a range of housing types and target income groups.” Building Permits for Saggio Hills affordable housing were applied for in December of 2024.

The development has continued to pull permits throughout 2024 to continue the construction of the previously approved housing projects. The villa component of the project consists of 25 single family homes and all permits were issued and construction was completed in 2024. Several estate homes are continuing construction, with more units anticipating completion in 2025. The amenities building was issued a building permit and began construction in 2024.

In January 2020, the City received a funding pledge of $7 million for the plan from the Foley Family Foundation.

On April 19, 2021, The Council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Foley Family Foundation for funding the final design phase of the Community Pavilion Project and the Council agreed the Foundation will have the right to name the Community Pavilion Project. Once the design and the other project approvals have been approved by Planning Commission and City Council, the City and the Foundation will commence discussion and negotiation regarding the construction agreements for the project. The Council also approved a professional service agreement with TLCD Architects to provide the final design for the project.

The project was approved by the Planning Commission in 2023, and building permits were issued in March 2024. Construction began shortly after and continued throughout 2024 with anticipated completion in 2025.

This action continues to allow the City implement Land Use Element policy LU-D-2 which directs the City to “seek to provide a diversity of uses within the downtown that serve both residents and visitors and shall avoid an over-concentration of a single type of use” as well as Public Services Element Goal PS-H which calls for “a park and recreation system that is suited to the needs and interests of Healdsburg residents and visitors.”
Infrastructure Improvements
The City Council accepted and authorized numerous infrastructure improvements during 2024, consistent with General Plan policies directing adequate levels of service for the City’s water, wastewater, and storm drain systems.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: 2024 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
PREPARED BY: Stephen Sotomayor, Housing Director
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Accept the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2024 and direct staff to submit the report to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development and the State Office of Planning and Research.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

This report is required by the State of California as part of the City’s General Plan Housing Element, which was developed through extensive community engagement and input. The City’s Annual Progress Report will be heard during a public meeting in which an opportunity for public comment is provided.

BACKGROUND:

The Healdsburg 2030 General Plan provides a comprehensive long-range plan used to inform and guide decision-making by residents, property owners, business interests, and elected and appointed City officials principally regarding the public and private land use and development that shapes Healdsburg’s physical environment.

The City of Healdsburg completed a thorough revision of its General Plan, which was adopted by the City Council on July 6, 2009. Among the mandated components of the General Plan is the Housing Element, consisting of goals, policies and programs designed to ensure the City can effectively meet future housing demands by furthering the development, improvement, and preservation of housing. Governed by State Planning Law (Government Code §65580 et seq., as amended), the Housing Element requires regular updating and certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) every 8 years.

6.I
Packet Pg. 117
Per State Planning Law (Article 10.6, California Government Code), the City of Healdsburg updated its General Plan Housing Element for the 6th Cycle Housing Element that covers the period of 2023-2031, replacing the expired 5th Cycle Housing Element that was updated and adopted on November 17, 2014, certified on January 8, 2015, and covered the period of 2015- 2023.

The City Council officially adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update on May 1, 2023.

Subsequently, on May 2, 2023, the update was submitted to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). On June 29, 2023, the City received official State certification for the updated plan.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report (“APR”) satisfies the reporting requirements for the State as it provides an annual update on the progress made towards implementation of the General Plan Housing Element through 2031, to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) (Government Code §65400). A key focus of the APR is documenting the City's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs, as outlined in the adopted Housing Element.

On March 18, 2024, the City Council received the 2023 APR, marking the first APR for the 6th Cycle Housing Element. The report was subsequently submitted and accepted to the California HCD and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research.

The 2024 APR is the second APR for the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). This report is required for the City of Healdsburg to maintain compliance with Housing Element Law and avoid the need for streamlined project approvals. The APR must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research by April 1, 2025.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff recommend that the City Council accept the 2024 Annual Progress Report (APR) and authorize its submission to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Highlights of the City’s 2024 Annual Progress Report
The 6th Cycle APR requires a comprehensive overview of the City's actions to implement the adopted General Plan Housing Element. The APR highlights two main areas: the City's progress toward its RHNA for 2024 and the status of implementing the Housing Element's goals, policies, and programs.

Housing Production & Progress Towards RHNA
The chart below illustrates the City's progress from the onset of the 6th Cycle Projection Period (6/30/23 – 1/30/24) through December 31, 2024, against the benchmarks set by the 6th Cycle RHNA Allocations. This chart summarizes the data in the APR RHNA progress included in Attachment A.

Total 476 179 37.61%
In 2024, the City reported a total of 50 housing units toward its RHNA allocation, with three units categorized as very low- to low-income. A significant portion of the City's 6th Cycle progress was made during the projection period between the 5th and 6th RHNA cycles. During this time, projects such as L&M Village, the Scattered Sites, and Randall Apartments were completed and counted toward RHNA targets.

The City remains on track to meet its 6th Cycle RHNA. City-sponsored affordable housing developments, such as Saggio Hills Phase I (48 units) and 155 Dry Creek Commons (58 units), are scheduled to break ground in 2025. Additional projects, such as Saggio Hills Phase II and the North Village Apartments, will contribute to RHNA progress in future reporting periods. These efforts demonstrate the City's continued commitment to housing production across all income levels
Progress Towards Goals, Policies and Programs
The Housing Element's strategy consists of three components: goals, policies, and programs.

Goals establish overarching objectives, policies provide the framework to achieve them, and programs outline specific actions the City will take during the 2023-2031 cycle.

Table D of the APR (Attachment B) offers a comprehensive overview of activities and milestones tied to each goal, highlighting both completed and ongoing efforts that contribute to the City’s housing objectives. The City is currently meeting the objectives of the Housing Element programs.

Conclusion:

The City's second APR for the 6th Cycle Housing Element highlights Healdsburg’s significant progress toward meeting RHNA targets. In this reporting period, the City has already achieved 37% of its overall RHNA goal. Key developments in progress, such as the North Village, 155 Dry Creek, and Saggio Hills will be pivotal in positioning the City to continue to make progress throughout the 6th Cycle.

Upon City Council acceptance, this Annual Progress Report will be submitted to the State by the April 1, 2025, deadline, ensuring the City remains in compliance with Housing Element law.

Ongoing activity.

The City continues to administer Fair Housing programs to promote equal housing opportunities and mitigate barriers identified in the Fair Housing Assessment.

In this reporting period, the City partnered with Legal Aid of Sonoma County and Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California to host a Fair Housing Workshop for residents. This event provided information on tenant rights, landlord obligations, and fair housing protections, ensuring residents understand their legal protections and how to report violations.

These efforts contribute to the City's commitment to Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) by increasing public awareness and access to resources that promote housing equity.

Affordable Housing
Monitoring Program.

The existing and increasing inventory of
affordable housing will require monitoring,
typically in cooperation with the developers
and owners of the individual affordable
housing projects. The objective of this
program is to ensure that households
continue to qualify for price-restricted rents,
consistent with HCD income limits, and that
other covenants and obligations are being
met.

Ongoing activity. Beginning
in 2023 expand efforts to
encompass new affordable
units coming on-line during
the 6th Cycle.

The City continues to monitor and enforce affordability requirements for its growing inventory of affordable housing units. Annual and random monitoring is conducted in coordination with developers and property owners to ensure compliance with HCD income limits and covenant obligations. The Housing Land Trust of the North Bay oversees monitoring for for-sale affordable housing through a contract with the City.

Properties not covered by other funding source monitoring requirements receive additional focus to ensure compliance with affordability restrictions.

This year, the City conducted four random monitoring visits and completed its annual monitoring program. Additionally, the City hosted "Community Nights Out," where City departments engaged with residents at three of the largest affordable housing communities. These events provided an opportunity for open dialogue with City Department Heads, Law Enforcement, and Housing Staff, fostering community relationships while addressing housing-related concerns.

program implemented by
April 2025.

The City continues to expand its financial resources to support affordable housing development. The City utilizes a variety of funding mechanisms, including the Transient Occupancy Tax, developer agreements, Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in-lieu fees, and grants. Collaboration with the City and Towns Advisory Committee Joint Powers Authority and Sonoma County has enhanced the City’s ability to secure state and federal funds, including CDBG and HOME programs, as well as newer state programs such as California SB-1 and those offered by HCD. The City has also implemented an innovative funding structure through the issuance of 501(c)(3) bonds for new construction, which has supported the financing of 43 affordable housing units, reducing dependency on prescriptive state and federal programs. The City has been awarded the Prohousing Designation, resulting in $560,000 in Prohousing Incentive Pilot Program funding. Additionally, the City has engaged Economic Planning Systems to refresh the Housing Needs Assessment and develop funding strategies aligned with Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) goals. In 2024, the Housing Element Work Group evaluated the creation of a Community-Based Housing Land Trust to proactively seek private donations to secure land for future low-to-moderate affordable housing.

On March 3, 2025, the Healdsburg City Council endorsed this recommendation, and the establishment of a local Housing Land Trust is currently underway.

Development Code
Amendments.

There are a variety of opportunities to
amend the City’s Land Use Code that can
expand housing development capacity and
reduce constraints, including increasing the
maximum density of selected base zoning
districts to 30 units (or more) per acre to
better reflect the density needed for
multifamily rental housing. While not
required to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA, this
effort can provide additional opportunities
during this Planning Cycle and beyond.

initiate code amendments by
the end of 2023, and
complete Development Code
amendments by end of
2025.

The City initiated this process through a Downtown Housing Capacity Study, completed in Spring 2024, which visualized the potential impact of increased density in targeted areas. While the failure of Measure O in November 2024 required a reevaluation of certain zoning changes, the City continues to evaluate alternative strategies to expand housing opportunities. Future amendments will focus on aligning the Development Code with regional housing priorities and available state exemptions Program 4.3; Expanding
Housing Development
Capacity; Rezone Existing
Sites with Housing Potential.

Rezone properties to allow higher density
housing where such development is
compatible with surrounding uses.

Ongoing and expanded
regulation action; continue
considering rezoning of
individual sites suitable for
higher density development
and proceed with
programmatic rezoning
following adoption of
amended Development
Code in 2025.

The Downtown Housing Capacity Study, completed in Spring 2024, provided key insights into potential Development Code Amendments aimed at increasing density in targeted areas. The study assessed opportunities for rezoning existing sites to allow for higher-density housing where compatible with surrounding uses.

Following the defeat of Measure O in November 2024, which would have amended the Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) to allow additional housing units, the City is reevaluating its approach to implementing higher-density zoning. While the GMO remains a limiting factor, the City is actively working to explore alternative strategies that align with current regulations.

As part of this effort, the City is continuing to consider individual rezoning opportunities and will integrate findings from the Downtown Housing Capacity Study into the upcoming Development Code updates in 2025. This process will ensure that zoning changes support housing production while working within the existing regulatory framework.

ADUs in the past five years,
and relying on ABAG’s “safe
harbor” allowances, 110
ADU units will be created in
the City during the 6th Cycle.

In 2023, the City began working with the Napa Sonoma ADU Center to provide preapproved ADU plans to residents and continues to partner with them to incentivize and encourage ADU production through expedited permitting. The City remains engaged in evaluating additional incentives for ADUs based on production trends and affordability needs.

Program 5.4; Developing
Affordable and MiddleIncome Housing; Develop
Lower, Moderate and MiddleIncome Housing.

Creating very low and low income housing
is often substantially assisted through
LIHTC programs, creating middle income
housing (up to 160% AMI) is often more
challenging due to limited State or federal
subsidies and high costs of development, in
Healdsburg, with its high median housing
prices and high land cost. Also, necessary
price restrictions associated with public
subsidies can deter market attractiveness
of such homes, requiring special focused
marketing efforts. This program has the
following elements: -Expand Individual
Affordable Housing Projects to include
‘mixed-income’ housing projects. -Utilize
Land Trust Model. -Employer-Provided
Housing. -Developing Subsidy Incentives
and Options. -Target Opportunity Sites for
Lower and Middle-Income Housing.

Focus on supporting the
development of at least 236
lower-income units in higherincome areas (see Table
10), and integrate ‘middle
income’ housing, including
opportunities for ownership
housing in the related
Program implementation
efforts; facilitate construction
of a minimum of 50 middle
income ownership housing
units during the 6th Cycle
(before 2030).

The City is actively supporting the development of moderate-to-middle-income housing within the Mill District, North Village, and at 3 Healdsburg Avenue. Furthermore, efforts are underway to foster the predevelopment of additional housing units of the same income category at the Saggio Hills development. The Housing Element Working Group (HEWG) is tasked with ongoing analysis and will provide recommendations to further these initiatives. Additionally, the City is working to establish a Housing Land Trust to help secure land for future middle-income and affordable housing developments, particularly in a constrained housing market where high land costs create challenges for development. Presently, there are 65 middle-income housing units in various stages of predevelopment or construction within the City.

The City works collaboratively with local nonprofit Corazon Healdsburg, and provides Spanish translations at all City Council meetings wherein affordable housing projects and programs are addressed. In addition the City ensures that its Housing Element is available in Spanish on the City's website. As a part of these efforts, the City hosted a City Night Out even at three of the largest affordable housing communities, which are predominantly spanish-speaking. This event facilitated conversations about tenant rights, housing programs, and community resources.

The City upholds its commitment to code enforcement and has established a bilingual and anonymous complaint process through Corazón Healdsburg, allowing residents to report substandard housing conditions without fear of landlord retaliation. This process is designed to prioritize housing preservation by facilitating collaboration among the City, landlords, and tenants to resolve issues and ensure compliance with housing standards.

As part of these efforts, the City also hosted a Tenant Rights Workshop, which was promoted in Spanish and included information on renters’ protections, fair housing laws, and code enforcement procedures. The workshop aimed to empower tenants with knowledge of their rights while encouraging cooperative solutions between property owners and renters to maintain safe and habitable housing conditions.

On January 27, 2023, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission approved an $11.8 million Active Transportation Program Grant to complete a road diet in Healdsburg. The funding includes the construction of protected bike lanes and pedestrian improvements to transform Healdsburg Avenue from Powell Avenue to the Parkland Farms subdivision. Additional improvements include bike lanes connecting to the northern city limits, with an anticipated project completion date in 2028.

Additionally, the City of Healdsburg, in partnership with Freebird Development and Jamboree Housing, secured $21.1 million in funding through the State of California’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program for the Saggio Hills Affordable Housing Phase I project. This funding, awarded by the California Strategic Growth Council, will support the development of 48 affordable rental units along with critical infrastructure and transportation enhancements.

The $21.1 million AHSC grant will be allocated as follows:
$15.3 million for housing development, including site infrastructure for the 48 affordable units.
$5.2 million for public works and transportation improvements, including:

Expansion of the Healdsburg Shuttle with a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV).

Multi-use trails at Saggio Hills and sidewalk enhancements along University Avenue.

Installation of new bus shelters and transit infrastructure upgrades.

Four CalVans-operated vanpools connecting local workers to job sites. $605,750 for community programs, including:

Conduct economic analysis to determine
the burden that such fees place on new
development and seek ways, consistent
with AB-602, to reduce the burden,
particularly on affordable and middleincome housing development while at the same time assuring adequate funding for
needed infrastructure. Pursuant to
Government Code section 65940.1(a)(1),
improve and ensure transparency by
posting all development standards,
planning and permitting fees/charges, and
development impact fees on the City's
website so that they are easy to find.

Update City development

website to be compliant with
AB-602 and pursuant to
Government Code section

end of year 2023.

Regulation informational brochures, application forms, submittal requirements, and fees are posted on the City website. The City continues to assist affordable housing developers offset fees by providing Measure S (Affordable Housing Fund) as a means to subsidize project costs, in general.

Program 7.2; Removing
Housing Constraints;
Promote and Utilize
Exemptions to the Growth
Management Ordinance.

The GMO, as currently configured, exempts
affordable housing units and allows
construction of rental housing above its 30
unit per year limit on market rate housing.

In addition, encourage housing
developments of ten or fewer units, as they
are exempt from the GMO under the
regulatory provisions of SB 10 and provide
a flexible option for amending the City’s
high propensity of R1 zoning with a target of
25 higher intensity units (tri-plex or more) in
relatively higher-income R1 neighborhoods.

Ongoing technical activity;
continue efforts to educate
the community about how
GMO exemptions have been
and can be utilized
throughout the 6th Cycle;
present SB 10 options to City
Council concurrent with
Development Capacity Study
completed by the end of
2024 (see Program 4.1), and
adopt any resulting
ordinance prior to SB 10
sunset on January 1, 2029.

The City conducted a Housing Needs Assessment and Downtown Capacity Study which included active discussions to educate the community about the Growth Management Ordinance (GMO). Additionally, a survey regarding the GMO was distributed to assess community interest, awareness, and opinions.

In the November 2024 election, Measure O, which sought to amend the GMO to exempt multi-family housing along certain portions of the Healdsburg Avenue corridor, was defeated by an approximately 60-40 split. This outcome maintains the existing limitations on housing development, underscoring the importance of promoting and utilizing current exemptions to the GMO.

The GMO, as currently configured, exempts affordable housing units and allows construction of rental housing above its 30-unit-per-year limit on market-rate housing.

Additionally, housing developments of ten or fewer units are exempt under the regulatory provisions of SB 10, providing a flexible option for amending the City’s high propensity of R1 zoning.

Evaluate Potential
Amendments to the Growth

Present amendments to the GMO to add
further exemptions or increase the
development cap above the existing 30
units per year for market-rate residential.

The City will evaluate and consider specific
amendments that further reduce constraints
imposed by the GMO and thus promote
housing availability and affordability.

Evaluate and select
amendments to the existing
GMO resulting in an
increase in annual market
rate units allocated by end of
year 2026; present options to
City Council for ballot
measures
amending/eliminating the
GMO in the 2024, 2026,
2028, and 2030 primary and
general elections by
February of each year unless
rendered inactionable by a
prior election; on an ongoing
basis, monitor and present
any legislative proposals to
modify the Housing
Accountability Act or other
State law which may alter or
nullify the provisions of the
GMO.

The Growth Management Ordinance (GMO), which limits market-rate housing to 30 units per year, has long shaped Healdsburg’s housing policies. Over the past decade, the City has led extensive community engagement efforts, including workshops, public education, and a voter survey conducted by FM3, to explore modifications that would allow greater housing production, particularly for workforce and multi-family housing.

These efforts culminated in Measure O, a November 2024 ballot initiative proposing targeted exemptions to the GMO in key areas. Despite aligning with the Downtown Housing Capacity Study and broader housing goals, Measure O was defeated, leaving the 30-unit cap in place. This outcome reinforces the GMO as the City’s greatest constraint on housing production, hindering its ability to meet future 7th Cycle RHNA targets and exacerbating affordability challenges.

Further complicating the City’s efforts, Healdsburg is one of the few jurisdictions in California exempted from SB 330, the State law that prohibits similar growth caps elsewhere.

Program 7.4; Removing

Housing Constraints;
Prepare Program-Level
Environmental Impact
Reports.

Develop procedures for preparing ‘program
environmental impact reports’ (EIRs). Such
program EIRs can reduce the time and
expense of preparing project-level EIRs by
limiting the scope of environmental review
on individual projects covered by the
program EIR. Program EIRs are suitable
where one large project, such as an area or
specific plan, can be characterized
geographically. The project may involve a
chain of subsequent individual projects
carried out under the same authorizing
statutory or regulatory authority which may
have generally similar environmental
effects, and which can be pre-mitigated in
similar comprehensive ways.

Concurrent with the
preparation of the
Development Code
amendments, rezoning, and
development of specific or
areas plans prepare
program EIRs that minimize
the need for project-specific
environmental review and
EIR preparation.

In 2024, the City did not have any significant development code amendments, rezoning for area plans underway. The City will continue to consider this when these projects are initiated.

Program 8.1; Extremely LowIncome, Homeless, and
Special Needs Housing
Program; Develop Extremely
Low-Income Housing
Promote housing for extremely low-income
households by encouraging and supporting
funding applications for developers of
permanent supportive housing, and by
continuing to provide for housing with
supportive services, single-room occupancy
housing, and shared housing in the Zoning
Ordinance. The City will continue to identify
opportunities to incentivize extremely lowincome housing by identifying/dedicating land and participating through local match
pledges (Measure S (TOT) revenue) to
support tax credit applications. In addition,
identifying appropriate regulatory incentives
will occur with the preparation of Specific
Plans (see HP- 4 Expanding Housing
Development Capacity).

Continue efforts to integrate
Extremely Low Income
Housing in affordable
housing projects and
development of supportive
housing projects to support
the development of at least
83 extremely-low income
units over the planning cycle
as required by RHNA.

The City of Healdsburg consistently mandates that developers responding to City Requests for Qualifications incorporate supportive housing units within their affordable housing projects. This requirement has resulted in 10 supportive units at 155 Dry Creek Road and another 10 units within the Scattered Site Projects. The units at 155 Dry Creek will start construction in 2025.

at L&M Village throughout the planning
cycle, with the potential to consider
programmatic options to convert the L&M
Village to permanent supportive housing
pursuant to Project Homekey guidelines.

Ongoing technical activity.

The City of Healdsburg is actively engaged in a continuous collaboration with relevant agencies and organizations to offer temporary and transitional housing, along with support services for the homeless population. This effort includes sustaining a 15-year operating grant from the State of California, which supports 22 units of transitional housing at L&M Village throughout the planning cycle. The success of the L&M village has been compounding, and the City anticipates reaching functional zero in homelessness by 2026.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: Dry Creek Commons Affordable Housing Project
PREPARED BY: Griselda Villarreal, Administrative Analyst II STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities
Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Conduct a TEFRA public hearing and adopt a resolution approving the issuance of up to $35 million in tax-exempt bonds through the California Municipal Finance Authority to finance or refinance the Dry Creek Commons project.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

The item before the Council is being conducted as a public hearing in accordance with the requirements of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) and pursuant to Section 142(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. A TEFRA hearing is a public process mandated by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for non-profit borrowers that intend to finance a project with tax-exempt financing. This public hearing provides the public with an opportunity to comment on the use of tax-exempt bond proceeds.

BACKGROUND:

On September 21, 2023, the City of Healdsburg entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with Burbank Housing Development Corporation, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (“Burbank”), establishing the terms for the financing, construction, and long-term affordability of the Dry Creek Commons Project (“Project”).

In accordance with the DDA, all 58 units of the Project, except for one (1) Manager’s Unit, are to be deed restricted for affordable housing for a minimum period of 55 years. The Project will also include ancillary parking and community amenities.

On August 27, 2024, Burbank submitted an application to the California Debt Limit Allocation and was awarded $26,627,000.00 from the 2024 State Ceiling on Qualified Private Activity Bonds on December 11, 2024.

7.A
Packet Pg. 148
The California Municipal Finance Authority (“CMFA”) will serve as the issuer of tax-exempt financing in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000 in aggregate principal. The proceeds from the bonds will be used to finance the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of the Project of multifamily rental housing located at 155 Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg (APN 089- 071-002). It is anticipated that in accordance with the terms of the DDA, the City Manager will approve an Assignment and Assumption of the DDA between Burbank, and Dry Creek Commons L.P., a California limited partnership, an entity affiliated with Burbank, that will develop, own and operate the Project.

TEFRA Hearing
To ensure all or a portion of the bonds qualify as tax-exempt, the City of Healdsburg must conduct a public hearing in accordance with TEFRA. Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, the governing body of the jurisdiction where the project is located must approve the issuance of the bonds following the conduct of a publicly noticed hearing. This hearing, known as a TEFRA Hearing, is mandated by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982.

A TEFRA Hearing provides an opportunity for interested individuals to express their views, either orally or in writing, on the issuance of the bonds and the nature of the projects for which the bond funds will be used.

Following the close of the TEFRA Hearing, an “applicable elected representative” of the governmental unit hosting the Project (in this case, the City) must approve issuance of the bonds for the financing of the Project.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Staff is recommending that the City Council:
1) Conduct a public hearing under the requirements of TEFRA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
2) Adopt a resolution approving the proposed plan of finance of the California Municipal Finance Authority to issue and reissue from time to time one or more series of revenue bonds in an outstanding principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000 in the aggregate for the purpose of financing or refinancing the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Dry Creek Commons Project, a qualified residential rental project, and certain other matters relating thereto.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

This approval pertains to financial mechanisms and does not have a direct environmental impact.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may choose to:
1) Decline to hold the public hearing or participate with CMFA, which would delay financing and require staff to seek alternative guidance from the City Council.

7.A
Packet Pg. 149
FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed action will authorize the issuance of up to $35,000,000 in revenue bonds of which up to $26,627,000 are currently authorized to be Tax-exempt by the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. Dry Creek Commons L.P. will bear sole responsibility for all issued debt and the City will have no role in or responsibility for any future debt payments. The Board of Directors of the California Foundation for Stronger Communities, a California non-profit public benefit corporation (“Foundation”), also serves as the Board for the CMFA. CMFA allocates a portion of its issuance fees to member communities and donates a share to the Foundation to support local charities. Upon issuance of bonds to Burbank, the City will receive a portion of the issuance fee as general fund revenue. CMFA staff indicated that the City will receive a not to exceed amount of $13,912.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

The Dry Creek Commons Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Pursuant to CEQA, the environmental effects were evaluated in the Dry Creek IS/MND, which was prepared and adopted by the Planning Commission on September 27, 2022, via Resolution No. 2022-13 (“CEQA Resolution”). The analysis contained in the Dry Creek IS/MND concluded that, with the adoption and implementation of mitigation measures, the Dry Creek Commons Project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
SUBJECT: To Start at a Time Certain of 6:45 p.m. - Fourth Public Hearing to Receive community input and provide direction to staff regarding the submitted draft maps, the map to be used as the basis for an ordinance, and sequence of elections for district-based council elections
PREPARED BY: Raina Allan, City Clerk
STRATEGIC INITIATIVE(S):

Provide Effective Governance
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

Conduct the Fourth Public Hearing to receive community input and provide direction to staff regarding the submitted draft maps, the map to be used as the basis for an ordinance, and sequence of elections for district-based council elections COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT/OUTREACH:

Outreach for this effort includes posting on social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram and Nextdoor. The City has also shared information on the City’s website and in the bi-weekly City Manager’s Update. Informational pamphlets have been distributed to each City facility in English and Spanish as well as an insert that was included in the December utility bills. A dedicated webpage has been created on the City’s website at https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections. Information is available to the public with background information about the districting process, upcoming hearing dates, and supporting documents. This webpage is being continuously updated with dates and locations where community members can share their feedback on this issue. The website also features a virtual mapping tool which community members have been utilizing to draw their own district boundaries and a feature allowing submission of community interest forms. Information will be provided in both English and Spanish. The City held a community meeting on January 16, 2025 at the Community Center, met with the senior community on January 24, 2025 at the Senior Center and the City Manager held a meeting with the Spanish-speaking community on January 28, 2025 to gather feedback on the process. The City has partnered with Corazón Healdsburg to assist with the outreach to the Spanish-speaking community. Both public hearings and community meetings will continue to include live interpretation services.

BACKGROUND:

The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) was enacted in 2001, in part, to provide minority groups in California with tools to prevent dilution of votes in “at-large” election systems – meaning each Councilmember is elected by the registered voters of the entire City. The CVRA prohibits any at-large voting system that hinders the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or influence the outcome of an election. A violation of the CVRA is established if racially polarized voting occurs in elections for Councilmembers or other matters submitted to the voters.

The CVRA does not require showing that the City, the voters, or the elected officials intended to discriminate against a protected class. Similarly, the fact that members of a protected class are not geographically concentrated does not preclude a finding of racially polarized voting. Instead, a violation of the CVRA may be established by showing that both racially polarized voting and dilution occur in elections for members of the governing body. Dilution can be shown where the protected class can show that the at-large election prevents them from electing, either on their own or with the support of crossover voters, their preferred candidate.

The City of Healdsburg currently elects its Councilmembers at-large. On October 3, 2024, the City received a letter from a potential plaintiffs’ attorney, Shenkman & Hughes PC, alleging a violation of the CVRA and threatening litigation unless the City voluntarily transitions to a district-based election system for electing Councilmembers. The letter is attached as Exhibit A.

On November 18, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring the intent to transition to District-Based elections. Since Council adopted the resolution of intent a prospective plaintiff may not commence an action within ninety (90) days of the resolution of intention’s passage.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

As a part of the transition process, State law requires the City hold at least two public hearings over a period of no more than 30 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the composition of the districts. No official maps can be drawn before the completion of these two public meetings. Once the initial two meetings are complete, the demographer and public can begin to officially draw maps that will be considered in the districting process. State law requires the City to then hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. Once a map is selected, State law requires the City to publish the map at least seven days before consideration at a hearing for introduction of an ordinance to adopt the district map.

Staff has prepared a timeline that identifies the planned schedule for the required public hearings and public outreach and complies with Elections Code 10010. City Staff met with the potential plaintiff’s attorney regarding an extension of an additional sixty days beyond the ninety-day statute. Elections Code section 10010 provides that a city may enter into a written agreement to extend the 90-day period in order to provide additional time to conduct public outreach, encourage public participation, and receive public input. With the extension, Staff anticipates completing the transition to district elections by April 2025.

7.B
Packet Pg. 161
Transition to District Based Elections: First and Second Public Hearings The City conducted the initial two public hearings on December 16, 2024 and January 6, 2025.

At the first and second public hearings, the Council received a report from the City’s demographer, Redistricting Partners, about the basics of the districting process and identifying communities of interest. The video and presentation from the first and second meeting can be found on the City’s dedicated redistricting webpage which can be found here:
https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections.

The Fair Maps Act defines a “community of interest” as a population that shares common social or economic interests that should be included within a single election district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Characteristics of communities of interest may include, but are not limited to, shared public policy concerns such as education, public safety, public health, environment, housing, transportation, and access to social services. Characteristics of communities of interest may also include, but are not limited to, cultural districts, shared socioeconomic characteristics, similar voter registration rates and participation rates, and shared histories. Communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

The City has received eight submissions of the Community of Interest forms which were posted on the City’s website. The responses from those eight submissions are summarized as follows:
• Fitch Mountain
• Senior Communities and Homeowners Associations
• Parkland Farms Neighborhood
• Growth and Tourism
• Drought
• Grove Street and Downtown
• Park Development in the North part of town
• SMART Station development
Ther were no new community of interest forms submitted between public hearing three and four.

Community Interest forms received are attached for reference and can be found on the City website. The Council also discussed renters as being a community of interest.

Transition to District Based Elections: Third and Fourth (and Fifth) Public Hearings Upon completion of the first and second public hearings, the City must hold at least two additional hearings over a period of no more than 45 days, at which the public is invited to provide input regarding the content of the draft maps and the proposed sequence of elections. A fifth public hearing will then be held to adopt the selected map.

The City will need to comply with the Fair and Inclusive Redistricting for Municipalities and Political Subdivisions (FAIR MAPS) Act in adopting the districts, which provides criteria that the City must utilize when establishing election district boundaries or when undertaking the redistricting process (which must occur every ten years after each population census). The criteria is summarized below:

7.B
Packet Pg. 162
a. The election districts must be substantially equal in population based on the most recent census.
b. The districting body shall adopt election district boundaries that comply with the United States Constitution, the California Constitution, and the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 (52 U.S.C. Sec. 10301 et seq.) and consistent with the federal Voting Rights Act, the districting body shall determine whether it is possible to create an election district or districts in which a minority group is sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district, as set forth in Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. 30 (1986).
c. The districting body shall adopt election district boundaries using the following criteria as set forth in the following order of priority:

1. To the maximum extent practicable, election districts shall be geographically contiguous. Areas that meet only at the points of adjoining corners are not contiguous. Areas that are separated by water and not connected by a bridge, tunnel, or regular ferry service are not contiguous.

2. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criterion, the geographic integrity of any local neighborhood or local community of interest shall be respected in a manner that minimizes its division.

3. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria, election districts shall be bounded by natural and artificial barriers, by streets, or by the boundaries of the local jurisdiction. Election district boundaries should be easily identifiable and understandable by residents.

4. To the maximum extent practicable, and where it does not conflict with the preceding criteria, election districts shall be drawn to encourage geographical compactness in a manner that nearby areas of population are not bypassed in favor of more distant populations.
d. The districting body shall not adopt election district boundaries for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party.

Within 21 days of adopting final election district boundaries, the City Council will be required to issue a report that explains the basis on which it made its decisions in achieving compliance with the requirements and criteria of the Fair Maps Act, including, as to each neighborhood, community of interest, city, or census designated place that was split into two or more districts, the reason for that split.

The City held the third public hearing on February 18th at which both the public and the City Council provided feedback on the draft maps Members of the public had the opportunity to submit maps for either four, five or six districts over the course of the last seven weeks. The City received 1 map for one district, 26 maps for four districts, 39 maps for five districts and 12 maps for six districts. At this fourth public hearing on March 17, 2025, the community and the City Council will consider the 8 draft maps that have been submitted by members of the public. The City Council will also consider the four draft maps they moved forward from the third public hearing. Those maps are labeled as Draft Map A, Draft Map B, Draft Map C2 and Draft Map D.

Draft Map D, which is based on one of the maps submitted by a member of the public, was drawn live during the last City Council meeting. All of the maps are available on the City’s website: https://healdsburg.gov/1152/Transition-to-District-Elections. The maps that have been

7.B
Packet Pg. 163
submitted by members of the public through the City’s “Districtr” mapping tool are identified by a numerical identification number (e.g., ID 277459),” and the maps that have been prepared by Redistricting Partners are identified by a letter (e.g., Draft Map A). The City must publish the maps that will be considered at a public hearing seven days in advance of the meeting. Staff has been posting draft maps and all of the draft maps included in the report were posted by March 10, 2025.

Redistricting Partners has prepared a FAIR MAPS Act Assessment (“Assessment”) of the maps submitted by members of the public. This Assessment analyzed all of the ranked list of criteria pursuant to the FAIR MAPS Act in the order required (i.e., population size deviation is under 10%, contiguous, maintains “communities of interest”, easily identifiable and understandable lines, compact, etc.). However, as indicated in the Assessment, Redistricting Partners can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest”. That particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the City Council and public at this meeting to determine how well the draft maps fulfil this criterion.

A summary of some of the relevant aspects of each the four draft maps moved forward at the February 18th public hearing is provided below:
• Draft A is based on renters which was identified as a community of interest, while ensuring the Latino Citizen Voting Age Population is maximized in District 2. • Draft B is more focused on renters, while maintaining a more compact District 2. • Draft C is based on one of the maps submitted by the community (ID 277577). As noted, the City received a high volume of maps from the community, and this map was chosen because it has a different configuration of the City than Draft Maps A and B. The eastern portion of the City is split differently and District 2 goes all the way to the south end of the City, picking up a relatively high population of renters in that area, ensuring it is still a renter-friendly district. It also an alternative approach to splitting the middle of the city (instead of there being one middle district, there are two). • Draft C2 was modified during the last City Council meeting. Council modified the shape of District four to encompass more of the south end of Healdsburg. • Draft D was drawn live during the City Council meeting on February 18, 2025 and is based on one of the public submissions.

Members of the public are invited to provide input regarding the content of the publicly submitted draft maps and the maps moved forward from the third public hearing. The initial proposed sequencing for draft maps is even-numbered districts in 2026 and odd districts in 2028.

The Council and members of the public can also provide input on the sequence of elections, if desired.

Request for Direction and Next Steps
At the March 17, 2025 public hearing, staff will be seeking feedback on the draft maps moved forward from the third public hearing, as well as any community-submitted maps that the City Council wishes to review and the sequence of elections. Staff will seek feedback from the City Council on maps that best preserve communities of interest and best meet the larger goals of the districting process. Specifically, staff will seek direction from Council on the map to be used as

7.B
Packet Pg. 164
the basis for an ordinance, to be brought forward for a potential first reading at the fifth public hearing on April 7, 2025. Although there is no specific number of maps that can be considered at that stage, it is recommended to select one or two maps to be considered at the fifth public hearing so that the community can provided targeted feedback on the maps that best reflect the goals of the districting process as determined by the City Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP:

Not applicable.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council could choose not to move forward with transitioning to district-based elections or pursue a different approach. If this alternative is selected, staff requests further direction.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is a fiscal impact due to the costs associated with the transition to District-based elections.

Costs include the demographer, which are estimated to be less than $50,000, legal costs, and payment of the plaintiffs’ attorney costs of $30,000. The City Council appropriated a total of $100,000 in the general fund for this effort at a prior meeting ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:

This item does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § 21000, et seq.) (CEQA) as the adoption of the resolution does not have the potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378).

Public Maps: FAIR MAPS Act Assessment
The following maps were submitted by March 10, 2025 and can be considered during the March 17 public hearing Under the FAIR MAPS Act, the City of Healdsburg is required to follow a ranked list of criteria in their districting process:
• Relatively equal in population size – total deviation is under 10% • Contiguous
• Maintains “communities of interest”
• Easily identifiable and understandable lines, following city, natural, and man-made boundaries
• Compact
As demographers, we can assess all criteria objectively except for “maintaining communities of interest.” This particular criterion is subjective by definition and should be discussed by the public and the City Council to determine how well these maps fulfil this criterion.
