4. This value is based by formula on BOD
6. Adjustments. The city council may, by resolution, adjust the fee schedule, including the flow factors, from time to time.
Once the fee is established, it shall automatically be increased annually based upon the Engineering News Record (ENR) 20- City construction Cost Index. In calculating the adjustment, the rate (in each use category, including the flow, BOD and SS costs) for the base year is multiplied by the index for the then-current year, divided by the base year index.

1. Building square footage means the square footage sum of the floor area at each floor level included with the surrounding principal outside faces of exterior walls of a building or portions thereof, including mezzanines and l
obbies. It does not include floor area devoted to vehicle parking, necessary interior driveways and ramps. T he gr
oss floor area of a building or portions thereof that doesn't have surrounding exterior walls shall incl ude the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above.
3. Mixed Use applies to parcels with Mixed Use zoning and in the Downtown Core District only.
2. Theaters can alternately estimate daily flow based on 2 gallons per seat ($71.54 per seat) The base year unit fees for Flow, BOD, and SS were determined in theMarch 2010 Wastewater, Water, Storm Drain Connection Fee Study for Expansion of Sanitary Sewer, Water Reclamation Plant, and Wastewater Disposal Facilities prepared for the City of Livermore by Craig R.

Re: Request for Stay of Expiration Date for Eden Downtown Housing Project Entitlements and Approvals
Dear Mr. Spence:
On behalf of Eden Housing, Inc. (“Eden”), we request a stay of the expiration date of the entitlements and approvals for Eden’s Downtown Housing Project. Those entitlements and approvals were granted by the City of Livermore City Council on May 24, 2021.
Eden makes this request in connection with the following entitlements and approvals:
• Vesting Tentative Parcel Map (VTPM) 11186, which would expire on May 24, 2023 unless its expiration date is stayed;
• Downtown Design Review (DDR) 20-019, which would expire on May 24, 2023 unless its expiration date is stayed;
• Non-discretionary Use of State Density Bonus Law, Including a Density Bonus, Relief from Parking Standards, an Increase in Building Height, and an Incentive to Reduce Applicable Setbacks, which has no expiration date; and • An Amendment to the Disposition, Development, and Loan Agreement, which has no expiration date.
On June 24, 2021, a Petition for Writ of Mandate was filed by Save Livermore Downtown in Save Livermore Downtown v. City of Livermore, et al., Alameda County Superior Court, Case No. RG21102761. On February 14, 2022, the Court entered judgment denying the petition for writ of mandate with prejudice. Pursuant to Section 1049 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, “An action is deemed to be pending from the time of its commencement until its final determination upon appeal, or until the time for appeal has passed, unless the judgment is Exhibit P
EXHIBIT A
712

sooner satisfied.” As such, litigation against the Project is still pending because at this time, the time for an appeal of the Alameda County Superior Court decision has not yet passed.
Government Code Section 66452.6(a)(1) provides that an approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall expire 24 months after its approval or conditional approval, or after any additional period of time as may be prescribed by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 24 months. (See also Livermore Development Code Section 10.02.110(C)(1)(a).) Section 66452.6(c) provides that the period of time specified in Section 66452.6(a)(1) shall not include the period of time during which a lawsuit involving the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map is or was pending in a court of competent jurisdiction, if the stay of time period is approved by the local agency pursuant to this section. The subdivider may apply to the local agency for a stay pursuant to the local agency’s adopted procedures. The local agency shall either stay the time period for up to five years or deny the requested stay.
Livermore Development Code Section 10.02.110(C)(2)(c)(1) provides that if a lawsuit is pending in a court of competent jurisdiction, and a subdivider requests a stay of the time in which a parcel map or tentative map will expire, the Director may stay the map’s expiration date until final conclusion of the action, if the Director determines that the action affects the validity of the parcel map or tentative map approval. Because Section 10.02.110(A) of the Livermore Development Code allows by mutual consent of both the subdivider and the City to extend the time limits for acting on a map, the City may exercise its discretion to grant such a stay request at any time during the pendency of that lawsuit so long as both the subdivider and the City mutually agree as to when a stay request can be made.
Moreover, the Livermore Development Code contemplates that the expiration date of other approvals related to a map may also be extended when the expiration date of a map is being extended. For example, Section 10.02.110(B) of the Livermore Development Code allows the City to make certain modifications to time limits if necessary “to permit concurrent processing of related approvals.” As such, an extension of the expiration date of the Project’s Vesting Tentative Parcel Map allows for an extension of the Project’s other related approvals, including the Projects’ approval of the Downtown Design Review.
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 66452.6 of the Government Code and Section
10.02.110(C)(2)(c)(1), we request that the Community Development Director stay the expiration date of the Vesting Tentative Parcel Map and the Downtown Design Review until final conclusion of Save Livermore Downtown v. City of Livermore, et al. litigation.

In no event shall any default or breach by any individual Permitted User constitute a 77 default by Leasee or result in the loss of any parking stalls comprising the Premises or result in 78 any termination of this Lease Agreement or diminution in the total number of parking stalls that 79 are to be provided to Leasee hereunder. 80

s legislative bodies
in accordance with Assembly Bill 361.
SUMMARY
On May 20, 2022, the City Manager/Director of Emergency Services declared a Local Emergency. The declaration must be confirmed by the City Council within seven days.
On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361) into law, allowing the City's legislative bodies to continue to meet via teleconference during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Brown Act requirements when a state of emergency is declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558. AB 361 further requires that state of local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or the legislative body meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. AB 361 requires reauthorization every 30 days.
DISCUSSION
An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS- CoV-2) began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, and has spread throughout China and to numerous other countries and territories, including the United States.
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that causes respiratory illness. Experts indicated while a high percentage of individuals affected by COVID-19 experience mild flu-like symptoms, some have more serious symptoms and require hospitalization, particularly individuals who are elderly or already have underlying chronic health conditions.
738
It is imperative to prepare for and respond to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases, to implement measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and to prepare to respond to an increasing number of individuals requiring medical care and hospitalization.
On March 1, 2020, the Health Officer of Alameda County declared a public health emergency throughout the County of Alameda.
On March 4, 2020, the Governor of California proclaimed a state of emergency exists in California after making determinations that:
1 .
The conditions caused by COVID-19 are likely to require the combined forces of a mutual aid region or regions to appropriately respond; and,
2 .
Local authority is inadequate to cope with the threat posed by COVID-19
On March 12, 2020, the Alameda County Department of Public Health confirmed evidence of community-acquired transmission.
On March 13, 2020, the President of the United States of America declared a National state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19 within the United States of America.
On March 13, 2020, the City Manager declared a Local Emergency. The declaration was based upon the Alameda County Department of Health confirming evidence of community-acquired transmission within Alameda County and the President of the United States declaring a National state of emergency.
On March 16, 2020, the City Council adopted a resolution ratifying the declaration of local emergency (Resolution No. 2020-033).
On June 8, July 27, September 14, November 9, December 14, 2020, February 8, March 22, May 10, June 28, July 26, September 13, October 25, November 22, December 13, 2021, January 10, February 14, and February 28, 2022, the City Council adopted resolutions of continued local emergency (Resolution Nos. 2020-78, 2020-133, 2020-166, 2020-207, 2020-235, 2021-018, 2021-037, 2021-063, 2021-112, 2021-140, 2021-155, 2021-179, 2021-195, 2021-217, 2022-006, 2022-016, and 2022-022, respectively).

Name: Donna Blevins
Resides: (since 1997)
Employer: Sandia National Labs (retired, 2015)
Recommendation: I support the signing of the DDA with Shakespeare's Associates. I further support moving ahead with the DDLA with Eden Housing. I've been anxiously waiting for the Black Box Theater and Science Center, the new hotel, and housing for people who wish to live in Livermore. I live walking distance to almost "everything" and support our downtown.
I've been involved with Shakespeare's Associates since 1997 as a volunteer at art walks, wine auctions and the annual Shakespeare Festival where a patron once told me, "There's no reason to go to Ashland anymore.
We'll stay in Livermore for professional
Shakespeare." For 11 years, I have represented Shakespeare Associates and organized the readers theater for "Livermore Reads Together" at the library. Recently we collaborated with ABLE (Black Leadership at the Lab) for the very successful "March by John Lewis" program.
As a board member and performer with Encore Players I can add that Shakespeare's Associates has supported us in many ways -- publicity, attendance, affordable rehearsal space.
They are a good neighbor to the theater and wine community and an asset to Livermore.
Thank you, Donna Blevins

Dear City Clerk,
Please covey to the Livermore City Council that I strongly disagree with the proposal to sell land for a black box theater as such a deep discount. If they want the land, they can buy it at market value.
I have strong feelings about this because in 2007, as Livermore Performing Art Center’s 500 seat Bankhead Theater was being built, I interviewed Len Alexander in the LVPAC’s office in the Old Theatre Mall. He said that if they fail, they will shutter the building. When they did fail, I felt the City of Livermore was coerced into taking over the building yet wasn’t able to take over its management.
City monies for private projects.
The black box proposal smells the same: is the City of Livermore interested in owning another single- use building?
I’m not involved with the theater group and as an observer, I think that there is no need to build something new. A black box could fit into any of the current empty commercial spaces in downtown:
Pacific Bell building, bank on 2nd and Livermore, bank on 3rd and K, and in the soon to be available commercial spaces on 1st between K and L. There would be no permit or construction delays, just tenant improvement. After all, isn’t that where black box theatres got their start by Creating a space in a non-theatre venue, adapting a warehouse, storefront, or basement into an edgy performance venues.

On behalf of Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group, thank you for the opportunity to share our continuing support for Shakespeare and Performing Arts Regional Company’s performance facility in downtown Livermore. We encourage you to authorize the Disposition and Development Agreement with SPARC to move this exciting project forward.
Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group is led by business leaders and influencers committed to connecting businesses, research labs, educational institutions, and civic leaders in the Tri-Valley region. The Tri-Valley’s unparalleled quality of life is greatly enhanced by its cultural institutions.
SPARC has been a part of the Tri-Valley’s cultural tourism engine for 20 years and the organization has a proven record of both attracting tourism to the wine region and creating a sense of place and community here in the Tri-Valley. SPARC’s plan tobuild a Theater Lab, a place where art is created, not just brought in from outside, will reflect our community’s innovative and creative spirit.

Greetings,
My name is Bryan Weber. I am a long-term Livermore resident and homeowner.
I support staff’s recommendation on item 5.1 for the Council to direct the City Manager to sign the DDA with Shakespeare’s Associates.
I have seen Livermore transform over the years and decades and I continue to marvel at how Livermore, and particularly the downtown has blossomed in recent years. I believe that the Bankhead theater and the vibrant arts community has played an important role in the wonderful transformation that I've witnessed.
I have been a long time fan and supporter of Livermore Shakespeare and am proud of how they too have blossomed over the years. I am enthusiastic about the vision they have created for a Theater Lab in downtown Livermore.

My name is Donna Edwards Weber. I am a long-term Livermore resident.
I support staff’s recommendation on item 5.1 for the Council to direct the City Manager to sign the DDA with Shakespeare’s Associates.
Shakespeare’s Associates has been a contributor to the Tri-Valley cultural scene for 20 years now. Their ability to create a sense of place and community here in the Tri-Valley are proven and bode well for creating a central cultural facility in downtown Livermore that will serve the mega-region.
We’re proud to have our own professional producing theater in the Tri-Valley, in SPARC Theater, formerly known as Livermore Shakespeare Festival. Livermore is already a hub for not only the Tri-Valley, but counties beyond, with its historic downtown, the wine region, and the Bankhead Theater. Building a Theater Lab, a place where art is created, not just brought in from outside, will reflect our community’s innovative and creative spirit.

Subject: Item 6.3 and 5.1
Date: Monday, May 23, 2022 6:03:53 AM
I am against the approval for Eden housing on Lucky's site for a number of reasons.
The way we read it is that once approved tonight, this cannot be changed or canceled by future city councils. The current mayor and city council should be ashamed of themselves for trying these political games to force our citizens to accept the Eden housing project at the Old Lucky's site when they know a majority of the citizens oppose it.
Besides the fact that I am fully against this project going in at the Lucky's site vs. the big public park/plaza that we are promised, I have grave concerns regarding the traffic and congestion this will cause.
I have read thru the latest traffic study done with Eden housing residents' traffic. Even with just this one project noted in the study, the traffic on Railroad between L and South Livermore was already at a near "fail" level. What the city planners conveniently didn't include was to also include the Legacy housing parking traffic, the Hotel Parking garage, and the expansion of the exiting I street garage. The number of cars on Railroad Avenue and First Street during peak hours is way underestaimed and will surely not pass any acceptable level.
In reading through this planning documents, I also see unacceptable financial information.
For Eden to "rent" a parking garage spot from us taxpayers at $300 per year when our "cost" of construction is approximately $1250 averaged per year (at 55 years as your study suggests).
Also, to even accept that there will only be 16 overflow spots in the L Street Garage vs.the more realistic parking estimate of 1.75 cars per unit, we are really looking at over 100 spots needed.
The financial numbers are so poorly misrepresented that this cannot be accepted by our citizens.
Another glaring mistake is the park construction figures. For construction only of this "public park" that Eden will construct but he City will pay for, a $5.5 million construction cost was cited in these planning documents.
The total cost of the land at almost 3 full acres being sold to Eden is $7.8 million, but they are getting $5.5 just for construction costs of some grass and trees?
Whomever feels this is acceptable should not be in charge of our city finances. This is corruption at it's most blatent level.
The city council should not do anything with the Eden Housing project at this time. There is major community outrage about this project as it will ruin our downtown forever. Converting these meetings back to zoom only while knowing this is a HUGE community outrage is shameful.
Trying to limit our voices by holding this meeting by Zoom is unacceptable and this vote needs to be held off until citizens can come in to the council chambers and face our cowerdly
council regarding this issue.
Also on the Shakespeare agenda item 5.1, I find that with Bob Carling and Trish Monroe being sponsors, there is a conflict of interest and they should not be allowed to vote on this item.

Date: Sunday, May 22, 2022 2:13:11 PM
Hello,
My name is Bryan Balazs, and I have been a resident of Livermore since 1992. I am the current Chair of the Board of Directors for Shakespeare’s Associates, doing business previously as Livermore Shakespeare Festival (Shakespeare in the Vineyards) and now SPARC (Shakespeare and Performing Arts Regional Company).
I support Livermore City Staff’s recommendation on Agenda Item 5.1 of the May 23 City Council meeting, to direct the City Manager to sign the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with Shakespeare’s Associates.
I am excited to see that a number of key
aspects of the Livermore downtown development are coming to fruition, and Shakespeare’s Associates is proud to be part of a vibrant evolving downtown that will offer more venues for creativity, inclusivity, development of community, tourism, and a greater connection between Livermore and the greater Bay Area.
Thank you,
Bryan Balazs

We support staff’s recommendation on item 5.1 for the Council to direct the City Manager to sign the DDA with Shakespeare’s Associates.
The ability to continue to support cultural arts in our downtown like the SPARC is critical to ensuring that downtown Livermore provides a good compliment to the Bankhead with multiple venues to support a vibrant community and downtown economy.
This small theater and venue will allow both our local community arts and outside artists catering to a smaller, more intimate crowd to thrive.
I think of Ashland, Oregon and their multiple venues as a good example of what downtown Livermore could provide.
Please vote to support SPARC in downtown Livermore.
Thank you, Mark and Maria Triska

IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT A CITY-OWNED PARCEL IS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54234(a)(1) T
he City of Livermore (“City”) is the owner in fee simple of a parcel of land; Parcel A of Parcel Map 11239 (APN 098- 0289-24), hereinafter “the Property”.
O
n January 30, 2018, the City Council approved a plan for the Downtown Core, which included a b lack box theater on the Property as part of the development of Stockmen’s Park.
O
n July 24, 2018 , the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (“ENRA”) with Shakespeare’s Associates, Inc. to establish procedures and standards to negotiate a purchase and sale agreement for the disposition and development of the Property, for the purpose of building a black box theater. The ENRA was extended, based on City Council authorization, on May 1 4, 2019; January 14 , 2020; May 19, 2020; November 30, 2020; July 13, 2021; and December 13, 2021, and has remained in effect since its original execution.
O
n August 7, 2018, the Livermore Planning Commission considered the disposition of approximately 3.8 acres of real property located generally between South L Street, Railroad Avenue, First Street, and the Bankhead Theater, known as the Downtown Core Catalyst site for the purposes of implementing the Downtown Core Concept and found the disposition to be consistent with the General Plan in accordance with Government Code section 65402 (Resolution 28- 18). The 3.8-acre property evaluated for this finding included the Property for the Black Box Theater.
Section 54234(a)(1) of the Surplus Land Act, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Surplus Land Act Guidelines, state that if a local agency, as of September 30, 2019, has entered into an agreement to dispose of property, and the disposition of the property is completed by December 31, 2022, the local agency is exempt from the Surplus Land Act.
The City entered into an agreement, the ENRA, with Shakespeare’s Associates Inc., to dispose of the Property, on July 24, 2018, and that agreement has remained in effect, through several extensions, since the time of the initial agreement. The City is now entering into a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) to dispose of the Property by August 31, 2022, which is in advance of the December 31, 2022, deadline established by Government Code section 54234(a)(1).
Item 5.1
Revised Resolution
765
For the reasons stated above, the conveyance of the Property is exempt from the Surplus Land Act pursuant to Government Code section 54234(a)(1).
On May 1 1, 2022, the City notified the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) that it determined that t he Property (Parcel A of Parcel Map 11239, APN 098 - 0289-24) was exempt from the Surplus Land Act and supported such determination with written findings.
On May 23, 2022 , the City Council of the City of Livermore adopted a resolution finding that the Disposition and Development Agreement with Shakespeare’s Associates, Inc., including the conveyance of the Property (Parcel A of Parcel Map 11239, APN 098- 0289-24), from the City to Shakespeare’s Associates , Inc., is within the scope of the 2004 Downtown Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and the Downtown Specific Plan 2009 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report and the addendums adopted by City Council on September 10, 2018, by Resolution 2018- 153, May 13, 2019 by Resolution 2019- 064, and October 26, 2020 by Resolution 2020- 178, and is subject to applicable mitigation measures. The Project is also exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines 15332 (infill projects).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLIVED that the conveyance of the Property, identified as Parcel A of Parcel Map 11239 (APN 098- 0289-24) is exempt under the Surplus Land Act pursuant to Government Code section 54234(a)(1). The City and Shakespeare’s Associates, Inc. entered into a legally binding agreement to dispose of the P roperty prior to September 30, 2019, and the sale will be completed prior to December 31, 2022.

RE: Tri-Valley Conservancy South Livermore Sewer Extension
Dear Mayor Woerner, Vice Mayor Bonanno and Members of the City Council:
On behalf of Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group (ITV), thank you for the opportunity to share ITV’s support of Tri-Valley Conservancy’s South Livermore Sewer Extension project initiative. Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group is led by business leaders and influencers committed to connecting businesses, research labs, educational institutions, and civic leaders in the Tri-Valley region.
ITV acknowledges that a key driver of our region’s unparalleled quality of life and destination tourism engine is our world-renowned wine country. Our regional brand-building work shines a light on the Tri-Valley as a unique innovation hub, in large part due to the excellent quality of life the region delivers. We support the expansion of the sewer facilities to allow existing and future wineries, and visitor-serving uses to connect to the City’s wastewater system in conformance with the Livermore General Plan, South Livermore Valley Specific Plan, and/or South Livermore Valley Area Plan, subject to the provisions of Alameda County Measure D.
We urge you to support this extension as it is of critical importance to the future economic viability of agriculture and viticulture in the South Livermore Valley area.
Sincerely,
Lynn Wallace Naylor, CEO, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group 5960 Inglewood Dr., Suite 201, Pleasanton, CA 94588 | Office: 925.989.0188 Item 6.1

May 22, 2022
To: City Council Members
From: Alan Burnham
I am writing to express some concerns about the Draft 2023-2031 Housing Element. Some of my concerns have been expressed before but have not been addressed. Some are based on a new reading. The following are areas I think needed improvement. My previous comments are appended, because some of that information is still pertinent.
1. The document is very long and not user friendly to the average citizen. The most important part is the map section near the end. Figures A1a-d are the bottom-line conclusion of the analysis and should be in the Executive Summary. One can see at a glance what land is potentially available, which makes the Executive Summary more complete and useful.
2. One of the recommendations of the General Plan update committee was to talk to landowners to understand their intentions. I realize that this may not be practical for this document, but there needs to be a disclaimer somewhere that some owners may not want to develop their land in the Housing Element time period, but there are also some parcels not currently zoned for housing that could become available. For example, did not the owner of the commercial park at the corner of Concannon and Holmes wish to have the northern portion used for senior housing?
3. The document uses 2019 estimates rather than 2020 census values for race and ethnicity. The latter have been shown to have serious errors. For example, a recent study of vaccination rates using 2019 county data indicates that more than 100% of the Asian population was vaccinated. Using 2020 actual counts gave more reasonable vaccination rates to inform a better city policy.
4. Using population and demographic differences over the past ten years over the past ten years are unreliable indicators of the next ten years. All characteristics are nonlinear to some extent, and some sufficiently so that serious errors can occur. For example, looking at 30-year trends suggests that Hispanic population may be plateauing but the increases in “Asian” and “Other and mixed race” populations are accelerating. The Asian population may exceed the Hispanic population before the end of this Housing Element term. What, if any, are the implications of those trends on needed new housing?
5. The encouragement of ADUs was discussed at the General Plan update committee meeting. Program element 1.4.1 Action D was mentioned. It does not currently mention senior housing, but perhaps it should. The text on page 4-2 mentions the use of ADUs for extended family units, which could be children or parents. It should be noted that this is an issue for when fee waivers or other economic incentives are granted. I am not proposing a recommendation, but the issue should be flagged for consideration.

6. There are some demographic comparisons to Alameda County as a whole. The fact is that Tracy is closer to Livermore than the Fremont to Berkeley Corridor, so it is not clear to me Alameda County is the only or most useful comparison. There should be at least a passing comparison to our nearest neighbors, Pleasanton and Dublin, particularly since they may indicate some trends in our future.

Andy,
To follow up on my comment about the makeup of Livermore’s population at the general plan meeting, the information in both the presentation and the Existing Conditions is terribly out of date as well as being presented in a misleading manner. Take a look at these graphs:
My first criticism is that the sums of the pie charts don’t add up to 100%, as any self-respecting scientist would demand. Livermore’s adds to 119.7%. Second, they use 2019 projections, which the 2020 census showed to be seriously wrong. Here are the right numbers:

Ethnicity:
From the first table, which does not consider ethnicity, here are the percentage breakdowns:
percent
total 87955 100%
white alone 52469 60%
Asian 12819 15%
black or AA 1739 2%
AI or AN or PI 973 1%
Other 7563 9%
Item 6.2
Public Comment Received
777
Note that 60% white gives a completely different perspective than 75% white. And 15% Asian is quite a bit higher than 11.6% in the report. The two or more races is double that in the report. These differences mean that the report is qualitatively wrong and highly misleading.
Now consider ethnicity. Hispanic or Latino are 21.5%, which is somewhat higher than 19.8%. Now using tables 1 and 2, we can infer the race of people who identify as Hispanic or Latino. percent nonhispanic Inferred hispanic percent
total 87955 100.0%
white alone 52469 59.7% 48449 4020 21.2%
asian 12819 14.6% 12633 186 1.0%
black or AA 1739 2.0% 1604 135 0.7%
AI or AN or PI 973 1.1% 412 561 3.0%
Other 7563 8.6% 500 7063 37.2%
two or more 11370 12.9% 5011 6359 33.5%
18324 96.6%
reported hispanic/latino 18978
From this, we can see that most Hispanic/Latino consider their race as “other”. This is a change from history, where most considered themselves white. The next largest category is mixed race, followed by white. The small numbers in the other races is a bit baffling, but they are small. The other point that comes out of these numbers is that the non-Hispanic white population is only 55.1%, or a little more than half. Again, presenting a value of 75.9% as the whiteness of Livermore is hugely misleading.
The overall point I am trying to make is that statistics should be reported accurately and not be used to mislead the public. So far, the report falls into the category of “how to lie with statistics”. I don’t mean to be critical of you, but you definitely need better consultants or better review of what they put out.

I am writing to explain and elaborate on my comment that the housing element is not very accessible to the average citizen. I realize that to be approved, there are lots of facts and figures that must be included, but the main points of the plan, if it can be called a plan, should be in a longer executive summary, with the rest of the details be given in the context of what was considered to arrive at the plan. It should not have the design of a mystery novel, where the plot is not resolved until the last few pages.
A concern is that RHNA, while an important constraint, should not be the primary consideration for the housing element. The housing element should take a more general view while including how RHNA figures into achieving the more general view. Also, as was stated at the meeting, RHNA does not address all important issues, with a specific example of senior housing, and our population has been growing older. Will that continue? Also, how might we expect the evolution of transportation modes over the next 20 years affect the nature of housing units? In brief, what are the most important demographic drivers for future housing stock, and why?
Another factor not adequately covered in this document is financial and environmental sustainability.
What is the effect of housing density (areal coverage and height) on infrastructure capital and maintenance costs, including streets, power, and water? There is some information on energy use in section 4.5, but only a portion of that consideration. What about other costs, such as public safety, which is a major part of the city’s budget? Perhaps some of these issues are addressed in other elements, but there should be cross-referencing.
The bottom line from all the considerations detailed in the first portion of the housing element is what parcels are designated for what kind of housing. There are tables of specific parcels, but they are not informative to the general public. Maps would be far better in an Executive Summary. I gave the example of the downtown map in an appendix, and from it, I have serious reservations about the plan.
While I understand that downtown retail may decline because of e-commerce, I think it is highly unlikely that most of sites F and G will be converted to housing in the next 10-20 years. I go to some store or Item 6.2

restaurant in those tracts every week. Will the bowling alley have a rebirth? Given these concerns, I would like to see all the other maps to see whether they have serious flaws, also.
The 2015 housing element presented a lot of demographic data, with the implication that it should inform the housing policy. That is appropriate. However, I sometimes found the connections the the housing plan hard to find. Further, I think more than two census numbers (10-yr interval) are needed to understand trends. Is a demographic group changing linearly, exponentially, or sigmoidally? It makes a difference in any projection!
I start with a plot of population over the past 50 years. It has a noticeable difference from linearity— there was a big jump between 1990 and 2020, presumably because there were more housing units built during that decade. Is the slower slope in the last 20 years due to less building or smaller family units? How might that inform the housing plan? How will the slope be affected by new mandates? What is the population at ultimate buildout?
I also explored the linearity issue a little with race and ethnicity, because the 2020 results are available, even though they may not be the most important characteristic defining housing needs. I cannot find complete information for 1970-1990. With these qualifications, I make the following observations in the following imperfect table about race and ethnicity.
Race 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020

1. The Hispanic percentage seems to be leveling off. Will that be true 10 and 20 years out? What difference would it make?
2. The Asian/PI and other/multiple race portions are growing exponentially now but must level off eventually in a sigmoidal fashion. In 10 years, will the Asian population be greater than Hispanic as it is in Pleasanton and Dublin?
3. The decline in both White and non-Hispanic White has accelerated recently, and we don’t know if and where it might level off in a sigmoidal fashion.
4. The Black percentage has been roughly stable since 1980. Will that continue?
5. The other or multiple race increase suggests that most conversations are not including a major portion of the population. Who are these people and what are their characteristics? For example, are Hispanics increasingly listing their rate as other?
6. School demographic data indicates that Hispanic children have a higher percentage of the total than the general population, in large part because Whites are generally older and have grown children. Will this lead to a new surge in Hispanic percentage of adults? What is the age distribution of Asians? Are they younger or older than Hispanics? Will this help provide better estimates of demographics 10-20 years out?
7. Other Census data indicates that the population is getting older, with the median age increasing from 25.3 in 1970 to 38.3 in 2010. Did that trend continue in 2020? Correspondingly, >65 portion doubled and the <5 nearly halved during that time. Also, the average household size decreased from 3.45 in 1970 to 3.19 in 2010. Will those trends continue and what are the implications?
8. The housing element must use actual 2020 census data rather than estimates. While examining COVID vaccination rates this year, I found significant differences in the 2020 numbers compared to the 2019 projections—Whites were overestimated and Asians were underestimated. This led to errors in vaccination rates large enough to give incorrect policy guidance. The 2020 age distributions are not yet out to my knowledge, but they should be soon I would think.
With all this being said, I wonder if the more important issue is how age distributions, family sizes, and income diversity will evolve over the next 20 years. How have they changed over the past 50 years to guide projections? Is there any particular relationship to race and ethnicity? 0 20

RE: DDLA , Eden Housing, Downtown Livermore
Dear Mayor Woerner, Vice Mayor Bonanno and Members of the City Council:
On behalf of Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group, thank you for the opportunity to share our continuing support for Eden Housing’s workforce housing development in downtown Livermore.
Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group is led by business leaders and influencers committed to connecting businesses, research labs, educational institutions, and civic leaders in the Tri-Valley region. Last year, ITV launched its Tri-Valley 2040 Vision, a roadmap for the future health of our region. Over 1,000 community stakeholders participated in creating the plan with ‘Housing Opportunities for All’ being identified as a determining factor for the future success of the region. The Tri-Valley innovation sector has stated that in order for the region to grow in an inclusive way, diverse housing options must be identified and green walkable communities must be created. Eden Housing’s project will serve our early career and service industry community members and its location inside the downtown retail and entertainment district keeps the downtown community thriving.
The time for this development is now. Eden Housing can capitalize on current opportunities for tax-advantaged financing under existing state allocation rules. The county allocated $14.4M for this project - and that funding is specific to this particular site in downtown Livermore. 5960 Inglewood Dr., Suite 201, Pleasanton, CA 94588 | Office: 925.989.0188 Item 6.3

The Eden Housing project is also a shining example of how downtown living helps lighten the collective carbon footprint.
The Tri-Valley is fortunate to benefit from the expertise and leadership of Eden Housing with 50 years of experience building similar developments. Eden Housing is an outstanding, proven partner and we urge you to approve the DDLA for Eden Housing today to keep this critically important development moving forward.
Safe and affordable housing helps families to stay secure, allows communities to thrive, and we applaud and appreciate the Livermore City Council’s support of this essential development.
Sincerely,
Lynn Wallace Naylor
CEO, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group

Livermore voters have voted in regular elections and special elections numerous times over a number of years, and every time the measures and candidates supporting the downtown plan have easily prevailed. Prices have continued to rise as the plan is delayed.
As a forty year resident of LivermoreI totally support the implementation of the Eden Plan. We’ve waited long enough.

Livermore City Council meeting May 23 comment - agenda item 6.3 I am for affordable housing. As someone who would qualify for this, and wants our teachers and public safety personnel to live here in Livermore, of course I am a huge supporter! However, like a majority of my community members, I am mindful of the good of the entire central downtown area now and for the future. Therefore I strongly object to moving forward with the current placement. This placement is so very costly to us, with huge multi-million payments for contaminate clean-up and providing a narrow park chiefly for the use of the housing complex.
Let's take a moment, take a breath, and really look at the "pros and cons" of this issue.
Affordable housing
= good! Location that impacts our jewel of a downtown area - not good.
Of course this is simplistic, but there is no reason to move ahead while there is still a lawsuit pending.
I say this with continued respect for our leaders and our community, please treat our one and only downtown area with care and thinking of our future. Thank you, Rifka Several Rifka Several

We raised our son here and love living here. We also realize that housing is a real issue for many and particularly for those with a lower income. Our workers should be able to live here in Livermore.
We strongly urge the City to do whatever is necessary to move forward with the Eden housing project.
There have been so many delays and the need is urgent. We fully support the City’s current plan. Please do everything you can to move the project forward.
Thank you for your efforts to finally build Eden housing.

Subject: Item 6.3 and 5.1
Date: Monday, May 23, 2022 6:03:53 AM
I am against the approval for Eden housing on Lucky's site for a number of reasons.
The way we read it is that once approved tonight, this cannot be changed or canceled by future city councils. The current mayor and city council should be ashamed of themselves for trying these political games to force our citizens to accept the Eden housing project at the Old Lucky's site when they know a majority of the citizens oppose it.
Besides the fact that I am fully against this project going in at the Lucky's site vs. the big public park/plaza that we are promised, I have grave concerns regarding the traffic and congestion this will cause.
I have read thru the latest traffic study done with Eden housing residents' traffic. Even with just this one project noted in the study, the traffic on Railroad between L and South Livermore was already at a near "fail" level. What the city planners conveniently didn't include was to also include the Legacy housing parking traffic, the Hotel Parking garage, and the expansion of the exiting I street garage. The number of cars on Railroad Avenue and First Street during peak hours is way underestaimed and will surely not pass any acceptable level.
In reading through this planning documents, I also see unacceptable financial information.
For Eden to "rent" a parking garage spot from us taxpayers at $300 per year when our "cost" of construction is approximately $1250 averaged per year (at 55 years as your study suggests).
Also, to even accept that there will only be 16 overflow spots in the L Street Garage vs.the more realistic parking estimate of 1.75 cars per unit, we are really looking at over 100 spots needed.
The financial numbers are so poorly misrepresented that this cannot be accepted by our citizens.
Another glaring mistake is the park construction figures. For construction only of this "public park" that Eden will construct but he City will pay for, a $5.5 million construction cost was cited in these planning documents.
The total cost of the land at almost 3 full acres being sold to Eden is $7.8 million, but they are getting $5.5 just for construction costs of some grass and trees?
Whomever feels this is acceptable should not be in charge of our city finances. This is corruption at it's most blatent level.
The city council should not do anything with the Eden Housing project at this time. There is major community outrage about this project as it will ruin our downtown forever. Converting these meetings back to zoom only while knowing this is a HUGE community outrage is shameful.
Trying to limit our voices by holding this meeting by Zoom is unacceptable and this vote needs to be held off until citizens can come in to the council chambers and face our cowerdly
council regarding this issue.
Also on the Shakespeare agenda item 5.1, I find that with Bob Carling and Trish Monroe being sponsors, there is a conflict of interest and they should not be allowed to vote on this item.

Dear City Clerk,
I’ll only be able to “attend” the City Council meeting via Zoom for an hour because I’ll need to leave at 8:00 for another Zoom meeting. Thank you for having an e-mail option so I can still participate! Please convey to the City Council that I strongly support the building of Eden Housing at the corner of L Street and Railroad Avenue. It is absolutely appropriate to have more housing downtown and the location is ideal because so much is within a 20 minute walk: parks, bus stops and train station; grocery and drug stores; places to eat and drink; churches; schools; banks; bowling alley; and more! Eden Housing will help fill a much needed gap in Livermore’s variety of housing choices for its residents, so let’s give Eden Housing a neighborly welcome! Sincerely,

Agenda Item 6.3
If I understand this correctly, designating the current Eden Housing site as being exempt from the Surplus Land Act means that legally, it must preferentially be used for affordable housing. This seems like a way to work around whatever it is that Livermore citizens think about the use of that site. Even though this is all being done publicly, because it is so tricky to understand just what the implications are of this vote, I think most citizens will not comment or object. But I do. Decisions about Livermore’s downtown — which is a shared space and quite lovely, thanks to many previous City Council decisions — should be understandable and shareable by all of us.
Do not vote yes on this, please, no matter how noble it seems.

Designating the current Eden Housing site as exempt from the Surplus Land Act seems to mean that it must be, legally, used for affordable housing.
On the face of it, it looks like the City Council is trying to, once again, thwart the will of the people and give the citizens of Livermore no say in what happens to the downtown site.
I urge you to vote against this permanent change in how the site is used. The people of Livermore should have the ability to determine the future of the city and it seems that the City Council want to take that ability away from We, the People, with this exemption..

Dear Mayor Woerner and Livermore City Council members,
Please add my voice to the vast majority of Livermore residents in support of the city's downtown plan and specifically the Eden Housing project to bring affordable housing to Livermore. Every community needs a place where our adult children, especially those like my police officer son-in-law, can afford to live. This need is urgent and significant!
In 2020
, Measure P won
by over a two-thirds majority vote in favor of approving the development agreement between the city and Presidio to build a hotel. While the small, rich group of "NIMBY" organizers attempting to delay the project via nefarious legal maneuvering continues to badger your constituency, please realize we want action and moving forward with the Eden Housing project is the best outcome for everyone.
Respectfully yours,
Brian Powell

Hi all,
Thank you again for speaking in support of the Eden Housing project at this Monday's council meeting. The agenda was released today and can be found
at https://granicus_production_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/livermore/c11664d831379e78fd6f8d51b9fa07810.pdf.
Eden Housing is the last thing on the agenda, Matters for Consideration 6.3. It should be about 8:30pm when they get to it.
It is a zoom only meeting, changing back from a hybrid meeting. The zoom link is at the beginning of the agenda, join the zoom meeting on or before 8:30. You will see and hear the Council. You will be able to hear anyone the council has unmuted to speak, but you will not see them. To speak, you wait until Matters for Consideration 6.3 starts, then you use the Zoom "raise your hand" feature. When they have finished introducing the matter, the Mayor (or clerk) will list the next 3 people to speak, then unmute the next speaker and ask them to speak. You confirm they can hear you, introduce yourself and have 3 minutes to speak.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
As President of the Board of Trustees for the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District, I want to start by thanking you for all of your support and for the ongoing partnership in service to our community. I believe and trust that you would agree that Las Positas College is an important asset in Livermore, and it is
for this reason that I am reaching out to ask for your
support for item 6.3 on your Council agenda at your meeting on May 23rd.
Given the incredibly high cost of housing, not to mention inflation and other impacts caused by the pandemic, our students, faculty, and staff at Las Positas College are facing enormous challenges. One of the best ways that the City can continue to support LPC at the present time is through intentional efforts to support viable affordable housing options in Livermore.
We are actually in the process of doing our own housing feasibility studies to determine opportunities for affordable housing on our
campus, which will be helpful in addressing the
needs long-term since as you know these types of projects take time to come to fruition.
However, our students, faculty, and staff do not have time to wait for the study of this option or other affordable housing alternatives in the City......they need relief as soon as possible.
Every additional day that Eden and/or other affordable housing projects come before you are delayed (for whatever reason), is one more day that potentially displaces those who attend Las Positas or serve its students. It is my hope that you will see that the Eden project is more than just an issue which impacts the Downtown, it is an issue that can help prevent our students from being displaced, boost enrollment by providing much-needed housing opportunities for our students, and allow us to attract and retain the best talent possible to continue serving our community through their work at LPC.
Thank you for your past leadership on this issue over the years, and I am hoping for your continued support by voting to approve the Development Agreement with Eden Housing.
Best Regards,
Tim Sbranti

I strongly support the Eden Housing project planned for the downtown area on Railroad and L streets. A majority of Livermore voters approved this plan when electing the current mayor and council members and voting down the referendum that attempted to remove the Eden Housing project from the location required in the Downtown Plan. The delays of a vocal minority must finally end so this much needed affordable housing can be built.

Date: Saturday, May 21, 2022 4:37:16 PM
I respectfully encourage the City Council to move forward with the existing Eden Housing plan for low income apartments. The cost of housing in California, and reflected in Livermore, is a major obstacle to anyone who is not already wealthy or making a vey high income. Recent news articles have pointed out that only 20% of families in California can afford to buy a house.
I feel we have a civic and moral responsibility to offer the possibility for housing for people like our young associate pastor who moved here from Georgia to serve our congregation. There are so many others like teachers, police officers, ambulance drivers and custodians who need a chance to live where they work.
The siting and size of the proposed Eden Housing may not be perfect, but the suggestions for alternatives have no basis in reality. I suggest we move forward as quickly as possible with the existing plans.

I am a 27 year resident in Livermore and I am writing in support of the City's plan for affordable housing in the downtown area.
I am not a political person and do not fully understand the agenda of the opposition group which continues to challenge the City on every aspect of the Downtown Plan. What I do know is that the current plan:
1) Is fully funded.
2) Has been developed by the City with significant community input and collaboration. 3) Is "shovel ready" and will rapidly address the severe shortage of affordable housing in our community, especially
for those who provide our services.
4)
Meets Livermore's obligations to provide Affordable Housing, thereby eliminating the risk of potential lawsuits.
Compare this to the position of the opposition who:
1) Have no fully developed plan which can be evaluated. 2) Will need to purchase land from people to the north of Railroad Avenue who may not wish to sell. 3) Will need to apply for Affordable Housing funding with no guarantee of success. 4) Will delay the provision of desperately needed affordable housing for many, many years to the detriment of our wider community.
To me the choice is clear. We should support the City for the good of our entire community and stand firm against the delaying tactics of a privileged minority.
Regards,
Edward (Ted) Monk.

Meeting
This was a hefty meeting including legislative packet and budget review. This is a first reading with questions on how to allocate monies, including a grant to establish an asthma program. The details are:
The Problem: Across the communities EBCE serves, a staggering 18% of children suffer from asthma, with the highest rates concentrated along the 880 and 580 corridors. Much of the problem is a result of high levels of air pollution from cars and trucks.
Why EBCE: Addressing the legacy of fossil fuel pollution has been one EBCE's foundational goals since its inception. The organization is now substantial enough to consider other opportunities to address the effects of air pollution on our most vulnerable neighbors.
The Opportunity: Partner with UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland (BCH Oakland) –the East Bay’s only Children’s Hospital – to invest $15M to fund the development of a world class pediatric asthma program focused on serving children across the East Bay.
