Agenda packet — Hollister City Council, December 4, 2023 (part 2 of 2)

To: Dennis Martin, South Bay Government Affairs – BIA|Bay Area From: DPFG
Date: October 20, 2023
Subject: City of Hollister – Proposed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Comparative Analysis Dear Mr. Martin
The Building Industry of the Bay Area (“BIA”) requested the services of DPFG in connection with a proposed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance in the City of Hollister. The proposed ordinance is in response to public feedback the city received on a previously proposed inclusionary housing ordinance drafted by Placeworks.

DPFG was asked to analyze the City of Hollister’s proposed inclusionary housing ordinance in relation to existing policies of neighboring cities. The Cities of Morgan Hill and Gilroy were selected as benchmarks due to their physical proximity, size, and growth expectations. The City of Morgan Hill considered updating its inclusionary housing policy most recently in 2021, however, no changes were adopted, and the policy exists as adopted in 2018. The City of Gilroy addresses inclusionary housing through its Neighborhood District Policy. This policy is not a standardized city ordinance and instead works as a general framework to be applied on a case‐by‐case basis. For this reason, Hollister’s proposed ordinance will only be examined against the housing policy of Morgan Hill. Given this context, the City of Hollister’s proposed inclusionary housing ordinance far exceeds the requirements of neighboring jurisdictions and places a substantially higher burden on developers than local markets currently dictate. The following comments evidence this:

1. Landowners will see a large reduction in land value should the proposed ordinance pass.

The proposed inclusionary housing ordinance, under a hypothetical 100‐unit, 3 bedroom, 10‐acre project would generate a financial burden of more than $10.8 million dollars. This fiscal impact could jeopardize, possibly eliminate, the financial feasibility of new housing developments in the City. Immediately upon the ordinance’s adoption, local landowners would be subjected to reduced land values due to increased building costs. Using the same hypothetical scenario, land values would decrease by over $1 million dollars per acre. As a result, land transactions could potentially cease as landowners refuse to discount their land enough for housing to become feasible, resulting in no new homes at both affordable and market rates.

In the example scenario, Hollister’s proposed ordinance burdens developers and local landowners over 160% when compared to the City of Morgan Hill. The same development in Morgan Hill only reduces land values by approximately $400,000 per acre. This reduction assumes the worst‐case scenario requiring the builder to construct all affordable units on‐site. Morgan Hill permits 50% of the required affordable units to be satisfied via an in‐lieu affordable housing fee which makes the prospect of development in Morgan Hill even more favorable and enables landowners to retain as much land value as possible. The table below details this comparative analysis:

2. If passed, Hollister will have the most restrictive inclusionary housing policy in the local area.

The City of Hollister’s proposed inclusionary housing ordinance places more restrictions than any other neighboring jurisdiction surveyed. Hollister’s proposed ordinance would be the only one in the local area requiring for‐sale units be allocated to Very Low income households. Additional restrictions include prohibiting the use of any alternatives, such as off‐site construction, land dedication, or in‐lieu fees. The constraints proposed by this inclusionary housing policy are penal when compared to local markets. As previously mentioned, the City of Morgan Hill offers up to 50% of the required affordable units to be satisfied through in‐lieu fees and allows for the other alternatives mentioned. With the exception of San Benito County, Hollister’s would be the local market to not offer any alternatives. The chart below compares the cost per square foot to developers in Hollister, due to the proposed ordinance, to the cost of in‐lieu fees available to developers in other jurisdictions: (Please note the City of Hollister cost per square foot is the theoretical cost to a developer on a 100‐unit, 3 bedroom, 10‐acre project)

Conclusion
DPFG has analyzed the fiscal impact on local land values of the proposed inclusionary housing ordinance and benchmarked the proposed ordinance to that of other local jurisdictions. A group of tables summarizing this analysis follows this letter.

Understanding Hollister’s proposed ordinance is in draft form and subject to change, these comments highlight the potential repercussions of the proposed inclusionary housing ordinance in its current state and the considerable impact it could have on local development and local land values.

Sincerely,

Chris Austin
Managing Principal

17.36.050 – Inclusionary Housing Requirements

E.1.f
Packet Pg. 227

4 All new applicable Residential Development Projects shall include Inclusionary Units. Calculations of the number of Inclusionary Units shall be based on the number of dwelling units in the Residential Development Project, without regard to any density bonus units as defined in this chapter provided pursuant to State Bonus. All required Inclusionary Units shall be built on the same site as the Residential Development Project.

A. Inclusionary Requirement. Twenty Fifteen percent of all new Residential Development Projects shall be Inclusionary Units. The Twenty fifteen percent total shall be achieved using the following allowable ranges of affordability. :

1. At least 7 seven percent of the dwelling units shall be affordable to Very Low Income Households.

2. At least 7 five percent of the dwelling units shall be affordable to either Very Low Income or Low Income Households.

3. At least 6 three percent of the dwelling units shall be affordable to either Very Low Income, Low Income or Moderate Income Households.

B. Fractional Units. When the application of the percentages specified in Section 17.36.0560.A results in a number that includes a fraction equal to one-halfquarter (0.25) or more, the fraction shall be rounded to the next higher whole number. In that event an additional Inclusionary Unit shall be provided. If the result includes a fraction less than one-halfquarter (0.25), the developer shall have the option of rounding up to the next whole number and providing the Inclusionary Unit or paying a fee in lieu of providing an additional Inclusionary Unit. The amount of the fractional in-lieu fee shall be calculated as provided in Section 17.36.060 the fraction shall be rounded down. In that event no additional Inclusionary Unit shall be required.

C. State Density Program. Any Inclusionary Units provided on site in compliance with this chapter may be used to qualify for a density bonus under Chapter 17.34, Density Bonus, California Government Code Section 65915, or any ordinance implementing Government Code Section 65915.

D. Local Incentives. Projects subject to this ordinance shall be entitled to the Local Incentives described in Section 17.17.070.

D. Base for Inclusionary Requirement. The number of Inclusionary Housing uUnits required for a project shall be based on the total number of dwelling units in the Residential Development Project prior to the addition of units under the State Bonus or the additional Local Bonus.

E. Affordable Housing Agreement. The applicant shall execute a written agreement with the Ccity indicating the number, type, location, approximate size, and construction schedule of all dwelling units as required to determine project compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

5 shall be constructed and occupied in proportion to the number of Market Rate Units constructed and occupied in each phase.

1. A building permit may not be issued for any Market Rate Unit unless a proportional number of building units permits has been issued for iInclusionary uUnits.

2. A certificate of occupancy or final inspection may not be issued for Market Rate Units unless a proportional number of certificates of occupancy or final inspections have been issued for iInclusionary uUnits.

17.36.060 – Inclusionary Requirement In-Lieu Fees

As provided for in Sections 17.36.050.B and 17.36.050.C, a developer of a Rental Residential Development Project may pay a fee may in lieu of providing Inclusionary Units or to offset required fractional units below one-half (0.5) of a unit. A developer of a For-Sale Residential Development Project may only pay a fee to offset required fractional units below one-half (0.5) of a unit.

A. Purpose. This in-lieu fee is an option that may serve as an alternative to the provision of on-site inclusionary units as otherwise required by Section 17.36.050. Nothing in this chapter shall deem or be used to deem the in-lieu fee authorized in this section as an ad hoc exaction, as a mandated fee required as a condition to developing property, or as a fee subject to the analysis in Building Industry Association of Central California v. City of Patterson, 171 Cal.App.4th 886 (2009).

B. Allowance. In-lieu fees may be paid as follows:

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement place a high priority upon the development of programs for the recruitment, training and employment of local area residents and military veterans, and recognize the ability of local pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs to provide meaningful and sustainable career pathways in the construction industry; and WHEREAS, this Agreement is not intended to replace, interfere with, abrogate, diminish or modify existing local or national collective bargaining agreements in effect during the duration of the Project, insofar as a legally binding agreement exists between the Contractors/Employers and the Unions, except to the extent that the provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with said collective bargaining agreements, in which event the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail; and

7 intent to withhold labor from the Contractor/Employers’ or their subcontractor's workforce, during which time the Contractor/Employer may correct the default. In this instance, a Union's withholding of labor (but not picketing) from a Contractor/Employer who has failed to pay its fringe benefit contributions or failed to meet its weekly payroll shall not be considered a violation of this Article.

4.1.5 Notification: If the City or any Contractor contends that any Union has violated this Article, it will so notify in writing the Senior Executive of the Council and the Senior Executive of the Union, setting forth the facts alleged to violate the Article, prior to instituting the expedited arbitration procedure set forth below. The Council will immediately use its best efforts to cause the cessation of any violation of this Article. The leadership of the Union will immediately inform the workers of their obligations under this Article. A Union complying with this obligation shall not be held responsible for the unauthorized acts of employees it represents.

4.2 Expedited Arbitration: Any party to this Agreement shall institute the following procedure, prior to initiating any other action at law or equity, when a breach of this Article is alleged to have occurred.

4.2.1 A party invoking this procedure shall notify Robert Hirsch, as the permanent arbitrator, or Barry Winograd, as the alternate arbitrator, under this procedure. The parties agree that they are both neutral, as required under Public Contracts Code Section 2500(a)(5). In the event the permanent arbitrator is unavailable at any time, the alternate will be contacted. If neither is available, the parties shall select a neutral arbitrator from the list in Section 13.4. Notice to the arbitrator shall be by the most expeditious means available, with notice by email and telephone to the City, the involved Contractor, and the party alleged to be in violation, and to the Council and involved local Union if a Union is alleged to be in violation.

4.2.2 Upon receipt of said notice, the City will contact the permanent arbitrator named above, or the alternate if the permanent arbitrator is not available, who will attempt to convene a hearing within twenty-four (24) hours if it is contended that the violation still exists.

Said hearing shall be completed in one session, which, with appropriate recesses at the arbitrator's discretion, shall not exceed twenty-four (24) hours unless otherwise agreed upon by all parties. A failure of any party to attend said hearings shall not delay the hearing of evidence or the issuance of an award by the arbitrator.

4.2.4 The sole issue at the hearing shall be whether or not a violation of Section

4.1 of the Agreement has occurred. The arbitrator shall have no authority to consider any matter of justification, explanation or mitigation of such violation or to award damages, which issue is reserved for court proceedings, if any. The award shall be issued in writing within three (3) hours after the close of the hearing, and may be issued without a written opinion. If any party desires a written opinion, one shall be issued within fifteen (15) calendar days, but the parties shall not delay compliance with or enforcement of the award due to the issuance of a written opinion. The arbitrator may order cessation of the violation of this Article, and the arbitrator’s award shall be served on all parties by hand or registered mail upon issuance. Should a party found in violation F.A.a

8 of this Article fail to comply with the arbitrator's award ordering the party to cease the violation, the party in violation shall pay to the affected party as liquidated damages the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per shift for which it failed to comply, or portion thereof, until such violation is ceased. The arbitrator shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any disputes regarding the liquidated damages claimed under this section.

4.2.5 The arbitrator’s award may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction upon the filing of this Agreement and all other relevant documents referred to above in the following manner. The party filing such enforcement proceedings shall give written notice to the other party. In a proceeding to obtain a temporary order enforcing the arbitrator's award as issued under this Article, all parties waive the right to a hearing and agree that such proceeding may be ex parte. However, such agreement does not waive any party's right to seek or participate in a hearing for a final order of enforcement. Any court order enforcing the arbitrator's award shall be served on all parties by hand or delivered by certified mail.

4.2.6 Any rights created by statute or law governing arbitration proceedings inconsistent with the above procedure, or which interfere with compliance with the above procedure, are waived by the parties.

4.2.7 The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be divided equally between the party instituting the arbitration proceedings provided in this Article and the party alleged to be in breach of its obligation under this Article.

19 Addendum B

TARGETED HIRE ADDENDUM
Purpose. The Parties to the Community Workforce Agreement for the City of Hollister (“Agreement”) recognize the need to increase training and career opportunities for underrepresented and targeted individuals in the construction trades through apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs, and to develop a pipeline to ensure the continued availability of skilled, qualified, and readily available construction workers for future construction projects.

Additionally, the Santa Clara and San Benito Counties Building and Construction Trades Council (“Council”) is signatory, with other parties, to the Santa Clara County Construction Careers Collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”), which established a pre- apprenticeship program in Santa Clara and San Benito Counties that serves as a pipeline into the construction trades for youth and job-seekers.

Additionally, in order to increase construction career opportunities for individuals presently underrepresented in the building trades, the Parties to the Agreement agree to exert their best efforts to recruit, refer, and employ Targeted Workers as apprentices, and to cooperate with the Community Workforce Coordinator to maximize the employment of Targeted Workers on projects covered by the Agreement (“Covered Projects”).

The Parties to the Agreement therefore enter into this Targeted Hire Agreement to participate in the community workforce pipeline as set forth in the MOU, in furtherance of the above-stated purpose.

I. Definitions.

All capitalized terms not defined in this Targeted Hire Agreement are as defined in the Agreement.

Approved Pre-Apprenticeship Program. An Approved Pre-Apprenticeship Program means the Santa Clara County Trades Orientation Program, the Tri-County Apprenticeship Preparation Program, or an equivalent structured, MC-3 certified career training and placement program or Union-sponsored program, that: (1) serves Underrepresented Workers, and (2) is sponsored by a Council-approved community- based organization, a Council affiliate, the Council itself, the California State Building and Construction Trades Council, or North America’s Building Trades Unions (“NABTU”).

Community Workforce Coordinator. Community Workforce Coordinator means the Santa Clara County Trades Orientation Program, the Tri-County Apprenticeship Preparation Program, or another entity as determined by mutual written agreement between the Council and the City. The Community Workforce Coordinator is responsible for maintaining an up-to-date list of Targeted Workers who are available for work and their current contact information, and will provide this list to any of the Parties upon request.

F.A.a
Packet Pg. 274

Community Workforce Agreement
for the City of Hollister
20 Participating Contractor. Participating Contractor means a contractor of any tier that performs $250,000 or more of Covered Work (as that term is defined in Section 2.3 of the Agreement) on a Covered Project. A Participating Contractor is subject to the Workforce Goal set forth in Section II below. If a contractor performs less than $250,000 of Covered Work on a Covered Project, that contractor is not subject to the Workforce Goal, but may nonetheless participate voluntarily in the Workforce Goal.

Targeted Worker. Targeted Worker means an individual who has completed an Approved Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

Underrepresented Worker. An Underrepresented Worker is an individual who, prior to commencing work on a Covered Project, has at least one of the following barriers to employment:

• Veteran of the U.S. military;
• Currently receiving public assistance;
• Emancipated from the foster care system;
• Participating in a re-entry program or formerly incarcerated; • Homeless, recently housed (within the past twelve months), or at risk of losing their housing;
• Continuously unemployed for the previous one year;
• Has family or household income below the current HUD threshold for Low Income Households in Santa Clara County;
• A survivor of labor trafficking; or
• An At-Risk Youth.

At-Risk Youth means a person between 18 and 24 years old that is either: 1) disconnected from school and/or work; 2) currently or formerly justice engaged; 3) in the foster care system; 4) pregnant/parenting; or 5) homeless.

II. Workforce Goal. The Parties have a goal of employing Targeted Worker(s) as Apprentices on all Covered Projects to the maximum extent allowable under applicable hiring hall procedures, Master Agreement(s), and apprenticeship program standards, for at least twenty-five percent (25%) of each Participating Contractor’s apprentice hours on a Covered Project. In meeting this goal, priority shall be given to the employment of First Year Apprentices, subject to the needs of the Project.

a) Nothing herein requires a Participating Contractor either to hire a particular individual or to retain a particular individual in employment. Any individual referred to a Covered Contractor shall be hired and employed at the Participating Contractor’s discretion.

b) A Participating Contractor will receive credit toward the Workforce Goal for hours performed by a Targeted Worker assigned to work on a Covered Project or on another F.A.a
Packet Pg. 275

Community Workforce Agreement
for the City of Hollister
21 jobsite at the employer’s discretion, provided the worker is assigned to the same job classification that would apply to the Targeted Worker on a Covered Project.

c) Participating Contractors shall properly supervise and pay all apprentices in accordance with the Master Agreements.

d) Participating Contractors will provide, upon request, certified payroll records and/or records of hours worked by Targeted Workers to the General Contractor (or equivalent), the City, the Council, the Unions, or the Community Workforce Coordinator.

e) Participating Contractors will retain documentation sufficient to demonstrate that they requested a sufficient number of Targeted Worker apprentices to satisfy the Workforce Goal.

f) Community Workforce Coordinator Obligations. The Community Workforce Coordinator will, upon request, refer the names of qualified, available, and willing Targeted Workers to the City, the Council, the Unions and Participating Contractors.

The Community Workforce Coordinator will also work with the City to facilitate outreach events.

g) Union Obligations. To the maximum extent allowable, consistent with the applicable hiring hall procedures, Master Agreement(s), and apprenticeship program standards, the Unions shall:

• Refer Targeted Workers as apprentices to Participating Contractors; • Cooperate with the City and community-based organizations designated by mutual agreement of the City and the Council in conducting outreach to recruit and refer Underrepresented Worker applicants to Approved Pre- Apprenticeship Programs for which they are qualified or qualifiable; • Cooperate with the Community Workforce Coordinator and Participating Contractors in order to satisfy the requirements of this Targeted Hire Agreement; and
• Facilitate, encourage, and assist Targeted Worker apprentices in their progress and success in joint labor/management apprenticeship programs.

III. Satisfying Workforce Goal. A Participating Contractor meets its obligations under this Targeted Hire Agreement by complying with both of the following:

(a) Prior to commencing work on the Covered Project, submitting a Targeted Hiring Form to the Community Workforce Coordinator and the Santa Clara and San Benito Counties Building and Construction Trades Council; and

(b) Making best efforts to employ Targeted Workers on all Covered Projects for a least twenty-five percent (25%) of apprentice hours (or equivalent work on another jobsite, F.A.a
Packet Pg. 276

Community Workforce Agreement
for the City of Hollister
22 provided the apprentice is assigned to the same job classification the apprentice would have been assigned to on the Covered Project). Best faith efforts shall include, at a minimum:

1) Requesting a list of available and qualified Targeted Workers from the Community Workforce Coordinator prior to hiring for Covered Project work; and either

2) Sponsoring a Targeted Worker into a Union apprenticeship program and employing that Targeted Worker on a Covered Project, if sponsorship is available; or

3) Requesting that the applicable Union(s) provide qualified and available Targeted Workers for employment consideration in a number sufficient to meet the Workforce Goal under Section II.

IV. Consequences of Non-Compliance. The Joint Administrative Committee (“JAC”) established by the Agreement shall consider allegations of non-compliance with this Targeted Hire Agreement. If there is a determination by the JAC that a Party failed to meet its obligations hereunder, the issue will be referred to the grievance procedure as provided in Article 13 of the Agreement. At any time during the process of compliance review, the JAC shall have the authority to reach a resolution with the Participating Contractor.

V. Implementation. The JAC shall help monitor and implement this Targeted Hire Agreement.
