14 Introduction
Livermore City Hall with solar panels
The City of Livermore (City) adopted an
updated Climate Action Plan (CAP) on
November 28, 2022. The 2022 CAP was
the first comprehensive update to the
City’s climate strategy since the first CAP
in 2012.

The CAP outlines strategies to prepare
Livermore for climate change impacts,
reduce communitywide greenhouse gas
emissions, and establish Livermore as a
leader in climate action. The City prepared
the CAP in collaboration with technical
consultants, key stakeholders, a citizens
advisory committee, and the Livermore
community.

The CAP calls for the City to prepare
annual reports to monitor implementation
progress. Updates to the greenhouse gas
emissions inventory are conducted every
two years. The next inventory update will
be included in the 2025 annual report.

SUBJECT:

Resolution authorizing execution of an on-call architectural services agreement with Barry & Wynn Architects, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $500,0000 with a term ending December 31, 2029, to support various facility projects in the Capital Improvement Program.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore requires a consultant to perform on-call architectural services for facility projects associated with the City’s Capital Improvement Program Plan. These services include assistance with project planning, architectural analysis and technical support, cost estimates, design, and construction support.

The proposed agreement will allow Barry & Wynn Architects, Inc. to provide on-call architectural services in an amount not-to-exceed $500,000 through December 31, 2029, to support facility-related Capital Improvement Projects.

In addition, staff is establishing a short list of consultants that are pre-qualified to support facility-related capital improvement projects. This process reduces the time to obtain consultants for individual projects.

DISCUSSION
The City has the need for a consultant to perform architectural services for facility studies and projects associated with the City’s Capital Improvement Plan and subsequent updates to the program. These services include assistance with project planning, architectural analysis and technical support, cost estimates, design, and construction implementation support. For example, some of the ongoing and 35 future projects that are anticipated to be under the scope of the on-call architectural services and pre- qualified list of consultants for project-specific support include but are not limited to the following projects as approved in the City’s Fiscal Year 2023-2028 5-Year Capital Improvements Plan:

CIP Project 2022-12 – Fleet Shop Expansion
CIP Project 2023-16 – Police Building Renovations
CIP Project 2023-22 – WRP Occupied Building Repairs – Administration Building CIP Project 2024-15 – Civic Center Library and Maintenance Building HVAC Improvements CIP Project 2024-18 – Civic Center Library Teen Space Improvement CIP Project 2024-20 – WRP Occupied Building Repairs – Maintenance Building CIP Project 2026-12 – WRP Occupied Building Repairs – Tertiary Building

Staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to firms interested in providing architectural services for facility projects. The purpose of this process was to receive statements of qualifications (SOQs) from multiple consultants and based on review of these qualifications, establish the following:

On-call agreement for as needed tasks related to the City’s facility-related capital improvement projects, including building replacements and renovations.

A list of pre-qualified consultants eligible for award of individual agreements for specific ongoing and/or future facility-related Capital Improvement Projects.

Twelve Statements of Qualification were received from the following firms:

The selection committee reviewed the SOQs and recommended Barry & Wynn Architects, Inc. as the top-rated consultant to perform architectural services on an on-call basis. Barry & Wynn Architects has successfully provided architectural services for a number of City projects including the Real Time Awareness Center in the Police Building, upgrades to the Multi Service Center, and converting the Reverse Osmosis Facility at the Water Reclamation Plant to administrative offices. They have proven to be a knowledgeable and responsive consultant.

In addition, the selection committee reviewed the SOQs and established the following short list of consultants for architectural services for future capital improvement projects:

ABA, San Jose, CA
36 Barry & Wynn Architects, Inc., Danville, CA
The KPA Group, Pleasanton, CA
Noll & Tam Architects, Berkeley, CA
SVA Architects, Inc., Pleasanton, CA

These consultants can be selected for upcoming facility projects through December 31, 2029, without circulating additional Requests for Proposals. The selections balance qualifications, interest, and coverage in the City’s key architectural service areas, including architectural, civil, structural, seismic, plumbing, electrical, mechanical analysis and design, building safety, code analysis and applications, environmental and regulatory permitting support, interior design, space planning, material and color selection, and furniture contract coordination.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

The on-call agreement with Barry & Wynn Architects, Inc. will commence upon approval by the City Council and terminate December 31, 2029. The agreement will have a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000. Funding for on-call architectural services rendered under this agreement will be charged to the various Capital Improvement Projects. The City Engineer will approve work related to the contract only within the overall adopted project budget amounts.

Subsequent agreements for services to support specific capital projects that may be awarded to consultants from the short list will be executed at the time the capital projects are initiated and in accordance with the approved project budgets.

EXHIBIT A
68 (15) ACCWP Alameda County Clean Water Program
which is made up of all cities in Alameda
County, Alameda County Public Works
and Zone 7 Water Agency who jointly hold
a RWQCB Stormwater Permit.

(16) Right-of-way An easement and or fee title ownership over a strip of land and is peculiar in that it
is expressly for “passage” purposes, such
as for railroads, pipelines, pedestrians,
vehicles, and canals, etc. Creation of
right-of-way establishes a privilege to
pass under, over and across another’s
land.

(17) License Gives a personal privilege that is
unassignable and terminable at will, to do
something upon another’s land and which
contains no interest in the land which is
not required by a conveyance. The
license does not pass to the heirs or
successors in interest of the licensee and
does not give third parties a right to sue
for interference with its use.

(18) Profit Permissible servitude upon the land. The
right to take something from the land of
another such as the right to farm, remove
coal, oil, etc.

(19) Natural Rights Incidental to ownership which attaches to and passes with conveyance of the land.

Not easements. Example is a right for
normal surface water flow from or onto
another’s land.

(20) Negative Easement Another expression for equitable servitude. It is exemplified by the
preservation of light and air space such as
in subdivision restrictions, thereby
burdening each lot in favor of each other
lot.

(21) Dedication Expresses an intent for the land to be
accepted and used for that public
purpose. Example: roads on a map.

EXHIBIT A
69 (22) Vacation The complete or partial abandonment or termination of the public right to use a
street, highway, or public service
easement. In Streets and Highways Code
Section 8340 the vacation of a street,
highway, or public service easement,
extinguishes all public easements therein.

(23) Abandonment Relinquishing rights to an easement, right- of-way or land which is accomplished in a
variety of ways. The vacation process
transfers ownership to the underlying
landowner so private or public underlying
property can be transferred. Minor
easements created on a map can be
abandoned on a map that maps over
them and easements or land can be
abandoned through a quiet title process.

(24) Grant Deed A conveyance of real estate, with a written document signed by the Grantor, that
transfers in fee (all rights and interested),
a described property from the Grantor to
the Grantee.

(25) Quitclaim Deed A deed of conveyance intended to pass along any title interest or claim which the
grantor may have (if any) in the property.

The grantor remises, releases, and
relinquishes any interest he may have in
the subject property, without professing
that such title is valid.

(26) Grant of Easement The right of use over the property of another. It can be public or private. An
easement granted to the public is one
where the rights to enjoyment is vested in
the public, generally an entire community,
such as an easement for a public street,
highway or for utilities. The underlying fee
title normally remains with the grantor.

(27) Lost Time When the revised overall schedule is
more than fifteen (15) days beyond the
date shown in the first overall schedule.

hydromodification.

(30) County Flood Control Requirements Refers to the Alameda County Hydrology and Hydraulic Manual that was prepared
for all work within Alameda County and
includes creek set-back requirements.

(31) Hydromodification Detention of storm water and metering out of storm flows to match the pre-project
conditions.

B. OBJECTIVES

This Development Plan Check Manual has been prepared as a source of information and as a guide for engineers and developers. This manual contains standard conditions of approval, procedures, and checklists. It is intended that these items will address several objectives including:

1. Giving the developer and the engineer an overview of what the City's engineering plan check will consist of,

2. Establishing general requirements for improvement plans, maps, and deeds; and

3. Establishing general procedures for checking improvement plans and maps.

The checklists of this manual are not intended to be all-inclusive but serve as a general guide to help the design engineer include the necessary design requirements to strive for trouble-free construction, operation, and maintenance of public works facilities. It is the responsibility of the contact person to make complete submittals. Also, it is very important that designs be of a high quality so that the development will not result in excessive future costs being incurred by the City or adjoining property owners.

EXHIBIT A
71 4. Establishing general requirements and procedures for the electronic review of improvement plans, maps, deeds, and agreements.

An Engineering Division goal is to limit the number of plan checks required in order to approve a project to three. To achieve this goal, the Engineering Division will insist that submittals be complete prior to the start of plan checking. In addition, re-submittals that do not completely respond to comments from the previous plan check will be returned for revision prior to being checked.

The Engineering Division's goal with each plan check is to provide a complete set of comments that identify all items that need to be addressed prior to the next plan check.

As required in the Subdivision Map Act (Section 66456.2(a)) all plan checks will be completed within sixty (60) working days, except that at least 15 working days shall be provided for processing resubmitted improvement plans and maps.

The Engineering Division maintains copies of the Subdivision Map Act, City Standard Details and Specifications, City Benchmark Graphic Information System(GIS) Layer, Slurry Seal Moratorium GIS Layer and Overlay Moratorium Layer, Facilities Planning Guidelines, City Sewer Master Plan, City Storm Drain Master Plan, City Water Master Plan, Recycled Water Master Plan, City Active Transportation Plan , LARPD Design Guidelines, pertinent portions of the Livermore Municipal code, Livermore Development Code, Livermore Downtown Specific Plan, Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan, Livermore El Charro Specific Plan, South Livermore Valley Specific Plan, Alameda County Clean Water Program Regional Water Quality Control Board Stormwater Permits, Construction General Permit, General Plan. Caltrans Standard Details and Specifications, Caltrans Highway Design Manual, Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP) Report, Asset Management Plans and Traffic Control Device Manual (MUTCD), Traffic Manual for reference during the plan check process.

These documents, along with this manual, contain most of the information necessary to design public works facilities.

The City will, from time to time, update or otherwise change this Development Plan Check and Procedures Manual, the Standard Details, the Standard Specifications, the Development Code and the Municipal Code. The engineers must assure themselves that they are using the most recent publication prior to start of design.

EXHIBIT A
72 II. STANDARD CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

As noted in the project conditions of approval, the following standard major conditions of approval shall apply to the project, except as modified by the conditions of approval for the project:

4. The developer’s contractor shall provide the City with an overall project schedule, including any requests for extended work hours (for all on-site and off- site improvements) for both public and private improvements within one month of the execution of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement. The developer shall also provide a monthly update to the overall project schedule by the first day of each month.

5. If the monthly update shows the overall schedule is more than fifteen (15) days beyond the date shown in the first overall schedule, this shall constitute Lost Time. Within five (5) days of the date that any overall Schedule identifies Lost Time, the Contractor shall submit to City proposed revisions to the overall Schedule to recover the Lost Time. As part of this submittal, the contractor shall provide a written narrative for each revision made to recapture Lost Time. If the revisions include sequence changes, the Contractor shall provide a schedule diagram comparing the original sequence to the revised sequence of work. If City determines the Developer’s Schedule cannot be revised to cure a Lost Time issue, Developer shall pay for additional city staff time.

EXHIBIT A
73 6. The developer shall subm
it a minimum of a two-week look ahead schedule to
the City Inspector in a bar chart format which incorporates all changes in progress, services, and scope of work activities.

Pedestrian improvements include but are not limited to new trails, walkways, sidewalks, accessible ramps, connections between existing and new pedestrian improvements, and modifications to existing pedestrian improvements within or adjacent to the project site, as shown on the approved plans.

3. Pavement widening shall begin where a full City standard pavement section exists. The developer shall have tests performed prior to improvement plan preparation to determine where an adequate street section exists.

4. Any proposed street right-of-way that is in Alameda County outside the city limits that is being dedicated to the City shall be annexed into the City by the developer prior to City approval of the final map and or acceptance of the street right-of-way by separate instruments.

5. When trenching is done in existing improved streets or existing improved streets are widened, the developer shall consult with the City Engineer to determine the appropriate pavement repair needed to restore the structure and surface of the roadway. If an overlay is required, then the developer shall complete a minimum of a two-inch grind with fabric down and a one and one-half inch (1-1/2") thick A.C. overlay over the fabric and the existing pavement. An overlay is necessary for the following reasons: 1) To prevent deterioration of the street as a result of water entering the joint(s) between old and new pavement, 2) To restore a smooth riding surface, 3) To restore the undisturbed appearance of the street surface, 4) To meet current structural section standards, 5) To provide adequate cross-slope, 6) cover utility trench cuts, providing a smooth riding surface.

6. Adequate sight distance based on the Caltrans Highway Design Manual shall be provided at horizontal and vertical curves, and at intersections.

7. Temporary paved turnarounds (30-foot radius) are required on all stub streets over 200 feet long. They shall be of the on-lot (or off-site) design and an easement shall be provided to the City.

8. Bus stop pads (turnouts when on major streets) shall be installed as required by the City and the local bus system authority (Livermore Amador Valley

The plan shall provide for moving pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists through or around construction zones in a safe manner.

EXHIBIT A
76 17. Traffic control pl
ans shall include signing, striping, and lighting for vehicles and pedestrians for each phase of work.

C. SANITARY SEWERS/STORM DRAINAGE/WATER SUPPLY

1. The capacity of the downstream sanitary sewer system shall be determined from the City Sanitary Sewer Master Plan to determine if the lines are adequately sized to accept the additional sewerage from this development. If the downstream lines are found to be inadequate, the developer shall provide additional facilities to accept the additional sewage expected to be generated by this development.

2. In-tract sewer facilities shall be designed to transport sewage consistent with the Facilities Planning Guidelines.

3. A storm drainage study including all phases of the Tentative Map shall be submitted for approval with the improvement plans for the first phase of development. Run-off volumes shall be calculated in accordance with the storm intensities specified in the City Storm Drainage Master Plan and the City's Facilities Planning Guidelines, or Zone 7 requirements for facilities to be dedicated to Zone 7, or Caltrans requirements for facilities within Caltrans right- of-way. Drainage calculations, design and supportive maps shall be provided with the study submittal. Calculations shall take into consideration all drainage areas within the same drainage basin that drain to the periphery of the development, the in-tract run-off and the existing conditions of the downstream receiving facilities.

4. In-tract facilities shall be designed to transport, in addition to the in-tract design run-off, the upstream run-off in volume consistent with the ultimate upstream development. In-tract system shall be designed to transport the run-off from a ten-year storm consistent with the Facilities Planning Guidelines.

5. A secondary overland flow route (unless an alternative measure is approved by the City Engineer) shall be provided to mitigate flooding should the storm drain system become plugged during a storm.

6. All residential lots shall drain positively to the street. If because of unusual site topography drainage to the street isn't possible, lots shall drain directly to a concrete V-ditch, with an inlet provided at each lot. Private storm drainage maintenance easements shall be provided.

7. The developer's storm drainage study shall investigate downstream facilities to determine compatibility with the in-tract system and the ability of downstream facilities to transport design run-off, in- tract plus up-stream, without the occurrence of flooding in violation of the City's storm drainage criteria either in- tract or off-tract. In the event the developer's storm drainage study calculations indicate that the City's storm drainage criteria are not met, in-tract or off-tract,

EXHIBIT A
77 developer shall provid
e additional facilities downstream of the development or provide retention or detention facilities to eliminate the flooding. This is in addition to the stormwater treatment and hydromodification requirements described more fully in Section Y that shall be implemented to comply with the latest Regional Water Quality Control Board Municipal Regional Permit.

8. All adjacent work within the creek, and adjacent to the creek that could cause erosion or environmental impacts, including outfalls, must be designed in accordance with the regulatory agency requirements and have approval from Zone 7 as applicable, prior to filing of the final map for the phase in which creek improvements are required.

9. No work shall be allowed within the creek set back area, per Alameda County Hydrology & Hydraulics Manual, unless approved by the City Engineer and/or Zone 7. The creek set back line shall be shown on the map and improvement plans.

10. Where there is natural upstream drainage entering the development, a dual intercepting drainage system is required. The system shall consist of concrete V- ditches, and storm drainpipes and inlets. All drainage facilities for natural upstream drainage (including City open spaces) are to be privately maintained.

11. Certain or all portions of this development are within a flood-prone area as established by F.E.M.A. and have been designated flood hazard (Zone AE, AH, AO, etc.) areas per Title 16 of the City Code relative to flood control regulations.

The Developer shall dedicate those areas within the development as required by the City for flood control purposes.

12. The development shall be compatible with the flood hazard areas and regulations as outlined in Title 16 of the City Code. In the event of a conflict between Chapter 16 and these Engineering Considerations, the more restrictive shall govern.

13. Because this development is in or adjacent to the 100-year flood plain as determined by F.E.M.A. a F.E.M.A elevation certificate is required to be submitted to the Project Coordinator who submits it to the Floodplain Manager prior to development and again after final construction. This requirement is outlined in Title 16 of the City Code.

14. The City is a member of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Development within the 100-year flood plain requires a letter of map revision (LOMR) or a letter of map amendment (LOMA) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.). The Developer shall be responsible to meet all F.E.M.A.'s requirements for map approval. The City will consider the developer's obligation complete when the City has received a revised map or letter (LOMR or LOMA) from F.E.M.A. after construction is complete. The Developer shall pay all required flood insurance premiums.

EXHIBIT A
78 15. All developed portions
of the site shall be outside the 100-year flood areas as determined by F.E.M.A. Development of this site shall not cause increased flooding on adjacent properties. A FEMA no-rise certificate may be required.

16. Because this site is subject to flooding from the 100-year storm, a flood control plan that meets the criteria of both Zone 7 and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) shall be submitted for approval to Zone 7, F.E.M.A., and the City with the improvement plans for the first phase. The plan must contain hydraulic calculations and analysis that demonstrates that the proposed encroachment into the 100-year flood plain will not violate Federal and Zone 7 standards. The plan shall also show that the 100-year flow (Q100) at build-out of the upstream area can be passed through the site as required by Zone 7 and the City.

17. The plan shall also evaluate the stability of existing creek banks that are proposed to remain natural. Bank stabilization measures shall be included if required and permitted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Army Corps of Engineers or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The plan shall show minimum setbacks from the top of bank in accordance with the creek set-back criteria in the Alameda County Hydrology & Hydraulics Manual, provide an access road along the top of bank adjacent to the development and provide plans for erosion control and re-vegetation of creek banks.

18. For projects within the City of Livermore Water Service Area, the developer shall prepare a water study for providing service (adequate pressure, flow, and3 storage) to this project. The master study shall be compatible with the City Water Master Plan. The water study shall be signed and stamped by a registered civil engineer licensed in the State of California. Additional transmission lines shall be constructed as required by the Engineering Division where there is inadequate service and as may be required by the Master Plan.

19. For projects within the California Water Service Area, the developer may be required by Cal Water to prepare a water study for providing service (adequate pressure, flow, and storage) to this project. The master study, if required, shall be compatible with the Cal Water Master Plan. The water study shall be signed and stamped by a registered civil engineer licensed in the State of California.

Any additional transmission lines shall be constructed as required by the California Water Service Company where there is inadequate service.

20. Pressure reducing valves may need to be installed at all service laterals based on the pressure zone.

21. Backflow prevention devices are required, except as noted below, and shall be approved by either the City of Livermore, Zone 7 or Cal Water(as applicable) and installed as required by the State as described in the State Water Resources Control Cross Connection Control Policy Handbook (Adopted December 19, 2023). Five criteria must all be met to qualify for exclusion from this requirement:(1) residential user with one service connection to a low hazard fire

EXHIBIT A
79 protection system,
(2) single service line splits on property for domestic and fire flows,(3) single water industry standard water meter measures combined domestic and fire flows, (4) fire protection system is constructed of piping materials certified as NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and (5) fire protection system is looped within structure and connected to one or more routinely used fixtures to prevent stagnant water (See Water Resources Division to obtain exclusion).

Backflow preventors and fire sprinkler master plan are reviewed by the building and fire departments, certified by the building inspector with a copy of the certification paperwork sent to the City Water Resources Division. If exclusion is granted, project coordinator to confirm with the building department whether the proposed residential facility fire suppression system as designed for construction meets these 5 criteria). If not, the developer shall be required to install backflow preventor.

22. Any existing wells on the site shall be abandoned and sealed per Alameda County Zone 7 specifications and details.

23. All projects in areas of the City with recycled water systems shall connect irrigation systems to the existing recycled water system. The city may require toilet and urinals to be connected to the existing recycled water system. The use of city recycled water requires an application to the City Water Resources Division requesting to use recycled water. All new recycled water lines shall be installed in purple pipe. Many distribution lines are under high pressure requiring pressure reducing valves. Only certain areas of the city have this service option.

D. OTHER UTILITIES (Electrical, Gas, Telephone, Cable, and Television)

1. The Developer must make provisions for the installation of an underground electrical distribution system to serve all lots, an underground gas distribution system, an underground telephone service, and underground communication services. The cost of these systems shall be included in the subdivision bond estimate. Electrical services shall also be provided to all parks, medians, and other landscaped areas to serve irrigation controllers as necessary.

2. All joint trench plans shall be submitted with the initial Final Map and Improvement plan submittal for City review.

3. All joint trench plans shall be approved and signed by all the utilities in the joint trench prior to City approval of the Final Map and Improvement Plans.

99 III. SENATE BILL 9 PROCEDURES & CHECKLISTS

In September 2021, the Governor signed Senate Bill 9 into law, pertaining to residential development in residential zoning districts for all California cities. The new legislation, effective January 1, 2022, overrides local zoning controls and allows property owners within a single-family residential zone to build two units and/or subdivide their lot into two parcels for a total of four units.

The City must ministerially approve a project that:1) proposes two units on a parcel in a single-family zoning district; and 2) conforms to the requirements of SB 9. The city must also ministerially approve a project that: 1) proposes to split a parcel in a single-family zoning district into two parcels; and 2) conforms to the requirements of SB 9. The lot split and two-unit provisions may be used together, which allows for a maximum of four units where there was previously one. The city cannot require the correction of structures that don’t meet current zoning standards when SB 9 is used. However, when structures cross property lines, special structure accommodations are needed as required by the building code or possible demolition/relocations if building code standards cannot be met.

Properties within single family zones may combine the provisions of SB 9 with state Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law. ADU law specifies the number of ADUs allowed on each parcel based on use, not zoning. Therefore, the number of ADUs allowed is directly related to how many primary dwelling units are located on the parcel. For example, if one primary dwelling unit is located on the parcel, up to one ADU may be placed on the property, as allowed by state ADU law. However, under SB 9, ADUs count towards the maximum number of units allowed on a parcel when a lot split occurs.

A maximum of four units, including ADUs, are allowed where there was previously one.

To meet the requirements of SB 9, the City developed a procedure to streamline this process. Applicants submit documents listed in the sections below for SB 9 Building and Lot Split Projects.

A. MINISTERIAL DWELLING UNIT (BUILDING PERMIT) REVIEW

1. PROCEDURES

To apply for ministerial approval of two units on a single parcel submit a building permit application, Local Compliance Affidavit and all documents as described in the Building Permit submittal checklist below. This request for approval will be processed by the building division. Building Division staff determine completeness of ministerial approval of two units. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Please note, if proposing both a lot split and two-unit approval the lot split shall be approved and recorded prior to submitting a building permit application for approval of two-units.

EXHIBIT A
100
The Building Department refers the building permit submittal to the Engineering Admin tech who logs in the project and provides it to the Senior Development Engineer overseeing these ministerial reviews and the Senior Engineer assigns it to the Project Coordinator.

The Project Coordinator reviews these projects for technical compliance against the SB 9 building permit checklist and improvement plan checklist also listed below and carefully make sure there are no conflicts with existing utilities or other underground structures on the site and that all utilities can be connected to the public mains in the fronting street. The health and safety of the residents who are living on the site and those who will live in the future new homes must be considered carefully during the lot split review since no entitlement review will take place.

2. SUBMITTAL CHECKLIST

A. CHECKLIST FOR SUBMITTAL OF PROPOSED MINISTERIAL DWELLING UNITS

1. Provide proposed grading and drainage plans showing functional stormwater runoff with no ponding.

2. Provide proposed and existing utility plans and identify tie-in locations.

a. If a new accessory dwelling unit is proposed, utilities are to be provided from existing single-family residence.
b. If a new single-family residence is proposed, provide new utility connections from public right of way.

3. Provide fire access to any new proposed dwelling unit with a minimum of 5 feet clearance. If access to the proposed dwelling unit is greater than 150 feet from the centerline of the public right-of-way to furthest exterior wall, additional fire code requirements may be required.

IV. ENTITLEMENT PROCEDURES

A. ADVANCED TEAM MEETING PROCEDURES

In reviewing an entitlement project, the project coordinator shall note that the City of Livermore has a standing policy that all development pays its own way. Also, just as important, is the expectation of staff to provide excellent customer service. To do both, Advance Team Meetings are held at the very beginning of the project review process to both encourage developers to build in Livermore and to manage their expectations of the process and costs. The Permit Center Manager in the Building Division schedules Advance Team Meetings and invites representatives of all reviewing divisions, including Engineering, Planning, Building, Fire, Police, Housing and Economic Development and Innovation. Projects are reviewed at a high level in a very positive light to provide as much help as possible to develop a constructable project and highlight the pitfalls, costs and alternatives along the way. All staff prepare ahead of the meeting by reviewing the project proposal and research the site to identify all possible conditions of approval. Engineering staff typically research fee history to identify any fee credits, bring utility and hazard maps, visit the site and bring any other pertinent information. Meeting notes are taken by the building division and distributed to the applicant with any maps, fee sheets and other important information. All notes are stored in the building division Advanced Team Project files for further reference. This information is later used to review the future entitlement application. Advanced team meetings are optional but recommended.

B. PROJECT REVIEW

Process

1. Hard copies of the planning referral are no longer sent to engineering. Planning uses Accela to route referrals electronically. Planning sends a notice of a new planning referral to the City Engineer, Senior Engineers (including the Traffic Engineer) and Engineering Admin Staff. The planning referral is assigned by the Senior Civil Engineer managing entitlement review. Engineering Admin Staff logs them into the Engineering Log for use by the Engineering Division The engineer assigned to the planning referral is the project coordinator and the engineering point of contact for the review of the entitlement through the entire entitlement process for that project. The assigned engineer looks up the project assigned to him/her in Accela to get the remaining entitlement documents to review the project.

2. Representatives of all reviewing divisions review the General Plan and all City master plans and regional master plans to determine if there are any traffic signals, roads, creeks, parks, trails, utilities or other public facilities planned in the vicinity of the development to determine how the planned public facility can be

EXHIBIT A
128
funded and/or constructed by the developer. Development Agreements, Community Facility Districts, Landscape Maintenance Districts and Assessment Districts are all tools to use to effectuate this policy. Development Fee Credits can be given for public infrastructure constructed and Tax Reimbursement Agreements can incentivize developers to pay for and construct public infrastructure now to be reimbursed later. All agreements and negotiations to effectuate this policy are led by the Planning Division under the direction of the City Manager with assistance of City Attorney’s Office, City Engineer and staff, Building Official and the Innovation and Economic Development Director.

3. Project Review Meetings are often but not always held for projects that are complex and can benefit from early coordination with the reviewing divisions. A reoccurring meeting time and day is set to secure time on the calendars of all reviewing divisions. If this meeting is not needed it will be cancelled. The Planning Division schedules, prepares the agenda and leads these meetings as often as weekly to go over the entitlement projects that have been distributed for review that week and receive early comments from the reviewing divisions. This meeting serves to expedite the completeness review and the entitlement review and alert the project planner of any complex coordination needed. This meeting is also useful for new staff to attend to see the project review process in action, be introduced to reviewing division representatives and better understand the interactions between the reviewing division representatives and entitlement process. Occasionally, there will be time before the end of the meeting to catch division representatives to ask questions about projects not on the agenda that day.

4. The project coordinator shall coordinate with the traffic engineer to understand their comments uploaded in Accela and write one set of Engineering Considerations with both Traffic and the Project Coordinator’s conditions.

5. Each project is reviewed by both Development Engineering and Transportation Engineering. First a completeness check is done and then a completeness or incompleteness memo is sent by email to Planning with a cc to the Senior Development Engineer, Transportation Engineer and engineering admin staff.

When the review for this round is complete the project coordinator uploads the review comments/conditions of approval into Accela and emails the original memo and attachments to the assigned planner with a copy to the Senior Development Engineer and a hard copy of the cover memo to Engineering Admin staff to log into the Engineering Log.

6. The entitlement is referred to engineering as many rounds as are needed until the project is deemed complete. For each submittal round a completeness memo is prepared with a cc to the Senior Development Engineer and Transportation Engineer or the project coordinator notes in Accela that there are no comments for the smaller projects with no Engineering issues.

EXHIBIT A
129

7. Once the submittal is complete the project coordinator and transportation engineer must review the project, and the project coordinator includes conditions from the transportation engineer while writing the engineering considerations(conditions) that have a nexus (connected to the project and proportional to the impact) to the project. If Transportation Engineering has any conditions to place on a project, they must be provided to the Senior Engineer/assigned engineer for inclusion in the Engineering Considerations.

8. It is the project coordinator’s responsibility to communicate with the planner to understand the timeframe the conditions are due.

9. After writing the Engineering Considerations the project coordinator gets appropriate approvals from the Senior Development Engineer and Assistant City Engineer and/or City Engineer if high profile and provides the final approved set to Planning. This could happen during any of the submittal rounds.

10. The assigned planner typically provides the conditions of approval to the developer prior to being finalized so that any comments or clarifications can be made prior to finalizing them. This is a courtesy review for the Developer to determine if they agree with the conditions. If any revisions are needed the Senior Engineer must initial the revised set of conditions and inform the Assistant City Engineer and City Engineer of the changes. When the conditions are final, the project coordinator communicates with the planner to find out which Planning Commission and or City Council Meeting the project is scheduled for and attends the pre-Planning Commission and/or pre-City Council meeting to brief the division representative that will attend the meetings.

11. Following Planning Commission and City Council Meetings when conditions are revised by the Commission or Council the Engineering Coordinator shall make revisions to the conditions to reflect this change, noting and dating the changes made during each meeting.

12. Confirm the project is in the city limits, not in the floodplain, has a point of access, requires an entitlement and meets the basic requirements to develop in the City of Livermore.

13. Review entitlement for completeness using the Entitlement review list and Tentative Map review checklist for projects with a Tentative Map. Write a memo to Planning stating whether the submittal is complete or not. Planning has 30 days according to the Permit Streamlining Act to determine completeness so please complete your engineering completeness review and respond to Planning by or before the date requested on the referral.

EXHIBIT A
130

14. Find out who the Planner is and talk to them. Determine if an advanced team meeting was held for this project and if there is a Development Agreement. If the property is outside the city limits find out if they plan to annex into the City.

Confirm you have all the planning related files and talk to the Building Permit Center Manager to confirm you have all the Advanced team meeting files, if any.

15. Research the City site records/files on Shared Drive, in Accela, in paper files to determine if there are any fee credits, overhead utilities, unusual site conditions, natural hazards including whether the site is in the FEMA mapped floodplain.

Research previous building permits and encroachment permits issued for the site.

16. Review the GIS information the city has for the site to determine flood hazards, existing utilities, parks, etc. and visit the site at least once to see any site conditions not visible on GIS.

17. Review all utility master plans; including applicable water, recycled water, storm drain, sewer. Review all transportation plans; including, Active Transportation Plan, bike, roads and trails plans, and Traffic Impact Fee proposed improvements.

18. After all research is complete review the submittal package to confirm you have enough information to write Engineering Considerations. Consult with the traffic engineer to confirm you have accurately added their comments in one complete set of Engineering Considerations which will be attached to the Planning Conditions of Approval. If you do not have everything you need please determine what is still needed and send this information to the project planner as soon as you determine it.

C. TENTATIVE MAP AND ENTITLEMENT SUBMITTAL AND REVIEW

ENTITLEMENT SUBMITTAL

1. The submittal requirements and required findings for all planning entitlements; including tentative maps, lot line adjustments and parcel map waivers are listed and described in the Development Code.

2. All lot line adjustments, parcel map waivers, parcel mergers, Vesting and Tentative Tract Maps, Vesting and Tentative Parcel Maps and other subdivisions must first receive an approved entitlement (Exhibit B-1) or other planning approval before moving on to the implementation phase including Final Map review and building permit review, led by Engineering staff, Building Staff or both.

Entitlement review includes Tentative and Vesting Tentative tract maps and parcel maps, Annexations, Lot Line Adjustments, Parcel Mergers and any environmental report or exclusions in accordance with a CEQA or NEPA analysis required for an entitlement. Vacations of public land, easements and Capital Improvement Projects within a Capital Improvement Project Budget must first be

EXHIBIT A
131
found consistent with the General Plan (taken to Planning Commission) before the implementation documents can be processed through the Engineering Division and/or Building Division.

TENTATIVE MAP REVIEW AND EXPIRATION PROCEDURES

The Planning Division is the point of contact for all entitlements; including the Tentative Map review and extension process. Tentative maps are reviewed in accordance with the City Development Code Part 10 and Sections 66452.6(d) and 66463.5(b) of the Subdivision Map Act. Checklists are provided in Section VII of this Development Plan Check Manual for use by engineering staff in their reviews.

The following procedures for Tentative Map Extensions and Expirations will be followed by the Engineering Division in accordance with the City Development Code Part 10 and Sections 66452.6, (d) and 66463.5 (b) of the Subdivision Map Act:

1. The expiration date will terminate a tentative map unless prior to that date an extension by the Planning Commission/City Council has been requested, or a complete submittal of a map and plans conforming to the Engineering and Planning conditions has been made for the first plan check. Tentative Map extension requests shall be sent to the Planning Division.

2. If a complete Final Map submittal is in the plan check process prior to the tentative map expiration date, the map will be extended automatically for up to 365 days if the developer meets the following deadlines for complete re- submittals:

a. For a first plan check, a complete re-submittal must be made to the City within 35 working days of receipt of comments from the City.

b. For a second or subsequent plan check, a complete re-submittal must be made to the City within 25 working days of receipt of comments from the City. This includes submittal of bonds, insurance, and signed Subdivision Agreement when requested by the City.

c. If the re-submittal deadlines are not met, or if 365 days have elapsed, the City Engineer will suspend the plan check process and notify the developer that he or she has 25 working days to apply for a map extension through the Planning Division for approval by the Planning Commission/City Council.

Map checking will be suspended until a decision is reached.

d. A tentative map can only be extended as provided under Section 66452.6 of the Subdivision Map Act.

D. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS

Development Agreements are initiated by the Developer by submitting a planning application requesting a development agreement. The planning division takes the lead on all Development Agreements but needs the support of city staff in all divisions that review development projects. Engineering plays a large role in meeting with the planners and negotiating the development agreement with the developer. Development Agreements may also be initiated by city staff during an entitlement process if there is anything that is needed that does not have a direct nexus to the project impacts.

Development Agreements are not required but are entered into consensually by the city and the developer. Development Agreements secure development rights before entitlement for a period of 10 years and can secure vesting rights or undo tentative map vesting rights. The City of Livermore has utilized development agreements to secure major public infrastructure such as highway interchanges and flood control facilities as well as water and sewer distribution lines. Development Impact Fees are typically credited for the constructed infrastructure or land dedicated for public roads or infrastructure improvements. Most of the fee credits granted to developers were granted through development agreements. A spreadsheet detailing the development fee credits remaining can be found on the Engineering Shared Drive. The engineering project coordinator is responsible for updating this spreadsheet when a new development agreement includes fee credits and when fee credits are used.

E. CONDOMINIUM PROCEDURES (IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT CODE 10.08)

Condominium maps are one lot subdivisions typically processed with the parcel map waiver process. The one lot subdivision establishes the parcel/lot boundaries.

Condominium maps must also be submitted to the Department of Real Estate. Use the Condominium Checklist to review this type of Parcel Map Waiver.

Note that a Master Geographic Letter for the City of Livermore is prepared by the City of Livermore engineering division every three years and kept on file with the Department of Real Estate to facilitate the Department of Real Estate’s determination that any subdivision has complied with the City approval process. The Master Geographic Letter provides information to the Department of Real Estate regarding the City of Livermore Development requirements. An updated Master Geographic Letter must be provided to the Department of Real Estate every three years unless the City of Livermore indicates a longer timeframe. This letter is usually processed by the Floodplain Manager for the Community Development Director’s signature. If there is no Master Geographic Letter on file for the City of Livermore, the Department of Real Estate must request this information from the city for every project. A copy of the letter on file can be found here.

F. PARCEL MAP WAIVERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT CODE 10.03.020)

Application is made to the Planning Division requesting a parcel map be processed under the waiver process. This process is used to review a SB9 submittal if it qualifies for the parcel map waiver process. A determination is made by the Planning Manager

EXHIBIT A
133
and City Engineer as to whether the project is eligible for the waiver process. If eligible for the waiver process, the project is referred to engineering and reviewed at a staff level. The Community Development Director signs the map instead of the City Council.

If not eligible, the parcel map follows the standard review process which includes the submittal and review of a tentative map, proposed improvements, etc with approval by the City Council.

G. LOT LINE ADJUSTMENTS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT CODE 10.04.030)

The lot adjustment process is intended for minor adjustments to property lines. The adjustment (transfer parcel) shall not exceed 5% of either parcel and shall not put either parcel in violation of the building code or set back requirements in accordance with the Development Code 10.04.030. The Lot Line Adjustment process starts with the submittal of a Planning Application for a Certificate of Compliance for a Lot Line Adjustment. The following documents are submitted to the Planning Division.

Submittal Requirements:

City of Livermore General Planning Application
Current Title Report for Property No. 1(less than 6 mo. old) Current Title Report for Property No. 2(less than 6 mo. old) Math closures for all new parcels
LLA Exhibit “A1” , Legal descriptions of adjusted Parcel No. 1 LLA Exhibit “A2” , Legal descriptions of adjusted Parcel No. 2 LLA Exhibit “A3” , Legal descriptions of the transfer parcel(s) (Not required if both Parcels are owned by one party.)
Exhibit “B” Plat to accompany descriptions

The lot line adjustment document; including, Certificate of Compliance, legal descriptions and plat maps of the resulting parcels and the Grant Deed documents; including, legal descriptions and plat maps of the transfer parcels are to be recorded by the City after they have been checked and approved by the city staff (planner, engineer and the city surveyor in accordance the Lot Line Adjustment checklist).

After the Engineering Division has confirmed the technical correctness of the documents the Planning Division prepares a Certificate of Compliance (these show that the proposed adjustments have been approved and are to be recorded to complete the lot line adjustment process). The recordation of the Certificate of Compliance is required to complete the lot line adjustment approval process but does not create the new parcels. Grant Deeds must also be recorded for this. The following documents are uploaded into Agreement Tracker for clerk’s processing, approval, signature of the

EXHIBIT A
134
Community Development Director and are recorded together to complete the Lot Line Adjustment process:

Certificate of Compliance
LLA Exhibit “A1” , Legal descriptions of adjusted Parcel No. 1 LLA Exhibit “A2” , Legal descriptions of adjusted Parcel No. 2 Exhibit “B” Plat to accompany descriptions
Memo to the City Clerk
Recording Instructions

The preparation and recordation of the Grant Deeds is the responsibility of the owner.

Engineering staff should work closely with the owners and the title company to see how they want these grant deed recordings handled. (The title company will help as they ultimately must insure the properties). The Grant Deeds are to be reviewed by the City, when approved, signed and recorded concurrently with the Certificate of Compliance if possible. The following items are to be prepared separately:

Grant Deed for the Transfer parcel (Parcel No. 1 owner transfers property to Parcel No. 2 owner, or visa versa. Owner of parcel transferred, records the grant deed to Owner of parcel to be received).

Grant Deed for Resultant Parcel No. 1 with the Exhibit “B” attached for adjusted Parcel No. 1.(Owner No. 1 Records a grant deed to himself).

Grant Deed for Resultant Parcel No. 2 with the Exhibit “B” attached for adjusted Parcel No. 2.(Owner No. 2 Records a grant deed to himself).

At the bottom of these Grant Deed Cover Sheets for Parcels 1 & 2 above add the following statement:

“This Deed is being recorded to effectuate the legal description created by the Lot Line Adjustment No. XX-XXX Certificate of Compliance, approved by the City of Livermore, which is being recorded concurrently herewith.”

If there is a “Deed of Trust” on the property. (You can determine this by reviewing the Title Report). It may be necessary to get a letter from the lender or trustee authorizing the LLA prior to recording the Grant Deeds. If there is a deed of trust on the property a Deed of Reconveyance may be required (this is determined by the Title Company).

The Lot Line Adjustment including Certificate of Compliance and attached documents showing resultant parcels(records first), Grant Deeds for transfer parcel(records second) and then Grant Deeds for resultant parcels(records third) and then Deed of Reconveyance, if needed records last. If these documents cannot be recorded concurrently, in the order noted above, the engineer and planner involved with the project must ensure that a copy of all of these documents are received by the City of Livermore City Clerk and filed in the City Clerk’s files. Typically, these recorded documents are received by the City Clerk. The City Clerk provides the recorded

EXHIBIT A
135
document or a link to the recorded document in Lasar Fische to the Engineering Coordinator. After the Engineering Coordinator uploads the recorded document into Agreement Tracker the City Clerk’s office will add a Laserfiche link to the document in Agreement Tracker.

Note: The Planning Division issues a certificate of compliance certifying a lot is in conformance with the zoning code. This follows a different process than the one issued for a Lot Line Adjustment. Please direct owner/developer to the Planning Division for submittal requirements.

H. PARCEL MERGERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEVELOPMENT CODE 10.04.040)

a. Parcel mergers may be voluntary mergers initiated by the property owner or mandatory initiated by the City. This procedure is only for voluntary mergers initiated by the property owner. The development code 10.04.040 references the Government Code Sections that establish the authority of the City to merge or unmerge two or more parcels or units of land held by the same owner.

b. Property owners request a parcel merger by filing a General Planning Application requesting the Parcel Merger and submitting with the application the property deeds, plat and legal descriptions of the existing parcels and resultant parcel, current title reports, closure calculations and statements from Trustees or Beneficiaries, as appropriate, consenting to the merger.

c. Submittal Requirements:

i. City of Livermore General Planning Application
ii. Current Title Report for Property No. 1 (less than 6 mo. old) iii. Current Title Report for Property No. 2 (less than 6 mo. old) iv. Math closures for merged parcel
v. Exhibit “A” Legal description for merged Parcel
vi. Exhibit “B” Plat to accompany description

d. The City Engineer is the review authority. After the project coordinator reviews the documents and Planning determines the parcels meet the parcel merger qualifications, the plats, legal description, and new deed are technically correct, the project coordinator prepares a notice of merger for the City Engineer’s signature. The notice of merger specifies the names of the record owners and has a description of the real property attached.

EXHIBIT A
136
e. The recordation of the Notice of Parcel Merger is required to complete the parcel merger approval process but does not create the new parcels. Grant Deeds must also be recorded for this. The following documents are uploaded into Agreement Tracker for Attorney review, signature of the City Engineer and are recorded together to complete the Parcel Merger process:

i. Notice of Parcel Merger
ii. Exhibit “A” , Legal description of the merged Parcel iii. Exhibit “B” Plat to accompany description
iv. Memo to the City Clerk
v. Recording Instructions

f. The following items are to be prepared separately. This is the responsibility of the owner. Engineering staff should work closely with the owners and the title company to see how they want these grant deed recordings handled. (The title company will help as they ultimately must insure the properties). The Grant Deeds are to be reviewed by the City, when approved, signed and recorded concurrently with the Notice of Parcel Merger if possible.

i. Grant Deed with Exhibit “B” attached for merged Parcel (Owner records a grant deed to himself.

g. At the bottom of the Grant Deed Cover Sheet for the merged Parcel add the following statement:

“This Deed is being recorded to effectuate the legal description created by the Notice of Parcel Merger No. XX-XXX, approved by the City of Livermore, which is being recorded concurrently herewith.”

h. If there is a “Deed of Trust” on the property. (You can determine this by reviewing the Title Report). It may be necessary to get a letter from the lender or trustee authorizing the Notice of Parcel Merger prior to recording the Grant Deeds. If there is a deed of trust on the property a Deed of Reconveyance may be required.

The Notice of Parcel Merger(records first), Grant Deed for the Merged parcel(records second) and then Deeds of Reconveyance, if needed records last. If these documents cannot be recorded concurrently, in the order noted above, the engineer involved with the project must ensure that a copy of all these documents are received by the City of Livermore City Clerk and filed in the City Clerk’s files. Typically, the recorded documents are received by the City Clerk. The City Clerk provides the recorded document or a link to the recorded document in Lasar Fische to the Engineering Coordinator. After the Engineering Coordinator uploads the recorded document into Agreement Tracker the City Clerk’s office will add a Laserfiche link to the document in Agreement Tracker.

EXHIBIT A
137

i. The merger of the subject parcels become effective when the City Engineer signs the notice of merger and causes it to be filed for record with the County Recorder. The engineer processing this request must ensure that the City of Livermore City Clerk receives and files the recorded Parcel Merger.

I. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY – VACATION OF CITY LAND AND EASEMENTS – (This requirement can be waived by resolution of the City Council for abandonments of a “minor nature” (see Government Code Section § 65402, the Livermore City Council has waived this requirement by resolution and delegated approval of it to the city clerk. See Final Map Procedures for abandonments by map)

The first step in processing a vacation of land in fee title or a public service easement is to have a consistency finding determined by the Planning Commission for General Plan consistency. Planning division staff assign the General Plan consistency number, prepare the staff report and resolution authorizing a consistency finding for planning commission consideration. It is best to do this during the entitlement process, so it does not need to be taken back to Planning Commission separately after entitlements.

After the consistency determination is made by Planning Commission, the next step is to determine if the vacation of land qualifies to be done using the summary vacation process. This is a shorter process. Please consult with the City Attorney’s office to confirm this is the proper process to use. If not, the full vacation process must be used.

Both kinds of vacations must go before the City Council for Approval. To do this Engineering staff shall prepare the following:

A. For Summary Vacations, schedule as a consent item. For general (full) Vacations, schedule as a public hearing item. Both items are placed on the Engineering City Council Agenda Log and on Engineering SharePoint link separately or with a map.

B. For a general Vacation, coordinate with the City Clerk’s’ office by scheduling a public hearing. Add the item to the Master Calendar and submit the Public Hearing notice from the Clerk’s page in SharePoint requesting the City Clerk publish and post a notice of the public hearing for the proposed vacation two successive weeks prior to the public hearing.

C. Applicant prepares the Legal documents (Plat & Legal Description) signed by the Land Surveyor for City review and approval. After City staff review and approval applicant provides original wet signed and stamped plat and legal descriptions to Engineering coordinator and Engineering Coordinator prepares the Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) for each conveyance to the recipient of the land for tax purposes.

EXHIBIT A
138
D. Engineering coordinator prepares Quit Claim Deed, memo to the Clerk with recording instructions and memo to the City Manager. Engineering staff should work closely with the title company to see how they want these grant deed recordings handled. (The title company will help as they ultimately must insure the properties).

E. Engineering coordinator uploads the Quit Claim Deeds with associated Plat and Legal Descriptions and memo to the clerk with recording instructions and PCORs and memo to the City Manager for attorney/city clerk review in Agreement Tracker

F. Engineering Coordinator prepares Staff report. In the Staff Report reference the Planning Commission approval date of the consistency finding with the number.

G. Engineering Coordinator prepares location/vicinity map and resolution with a) Quit Claim Deed Exhibits and b) Plat and Legal Description Exhibits

H. Engineering Coordinator uploads Staff report, location/vicinity map, resolution with a) Quit Claim Deed Exhibits and b) Plat and Legal Description Exhibits in PEAK for City Council Approval.

The recordation of the Resolution of Vacation is required to complete the vacation process but does not transfer the property. Quit Claim Deeds must also be recorded to complete the property/easement rights transfer.

A. After City Council Approval the City Manager signs Quit Claim Deeds and the Clerk notarizes them. The City Clerk prepares conform copies of the signed document then contacts the title company to pick-up the original documents and conformed copies along with the recording instructions for recordation.

B. After 30 days the Engineering Coordinator confirms documents have been recorded and conformed copies have been returned to the City. After the Engineering Coordinator uploads the recorded document into Agreement Tracker the City Clerk’s Office will provide a link to the Laserfiche document in Agreement Tracker.

C. Engineering Coordinator puts an electronic copy of the recorded documents in the project folder and sends them to IT to incorporate the changes in the Geographical Information System (GIS).

EXHIBIT A
139

1. CONSIDERATIONS WHEN VACATING PUBLIC LAND OR EASEMENTS

It must be remembered that any vacation or abandonment of public held land (whether acquired by an easement, deed, a fee deed or a dedication on a map) only abandons the public’s rights or interests. Private rights remain intact. These could be access rights, PG&E structures or lines, or other utilities. It may be necessary to halt any abandonment or to create private easements for these private interests.

All easements must be abandoned or vacated by separate instrument unless they were created on a map. In accordance with Subdivision Map Act Section 66499.20.2, the filing of a new map over the top of an old map shall constitute the abandonment of all public streets and public easements not shown on the new map, provided that a written notation of each abandonment is listed by reference to the recording date of each and certified to on the map in the City Clerks Statement.

The Council may simply adopt a resolution of vacation without the necessity of a public hearing and the vacation becomes effective upon recordation, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8335 and 8336.

Obviously, a summary vacation procedure is easier to accomplish in that it eliminates the necessity for a public hearing. There may be legitimate reasons to have the proposed vacation be the subject of a hearing, so each vacation should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

2. NON-SUMMARY VACATION PROCEDURES

a. The Council can initiate non-summary procedures by either setting a noticed hearing on the proposed vacation or if requested or petitioned to do so by an interested party, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8320. Notice of the hearing with a map and description of the proposed vacation must be posted and published and the council must consider evidence presented to it at the hearing, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8320 and 8324.

b. Upon conclusion of the hearing, and if the Council finds that the easement proposed to be vacated is unnecessary for present or prospective public use, the Council may adopt a resolution vacating the easement. This resolution must be recorded, and the vacation is effective as of the date of recordation, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8325. The Council has the authority to reserve future sewers, storm drains and other utilities and can also except from the vacation any easement or right necessary to maintain, operate, remove, replace, or renew the public utility facilities, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8340.

EXHIBIT A
140
c. The effect of the vacation is as follows: if there are no reservations or exceptions made, the vacation of an easement extinguishes all public easements in the area defined as the easement. If the city owns only an easement, title to the property previously subject to the easement reverts to the owner of the fee free from the easement, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8351. If the city owns the underlying property in fee, the Council can sell or exchange the property previously subject to the easement if it is no longer needed by the public, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes § 8355.

3. SUMMARY VACATION PROCEDURES

a. Summary vacation procedures can be used in the following situations:

If the street has been superseded by relocation, unless the vacation would cut off all access to a person’s property which previously adjoined the street, or the vacation would terminate a public service easement, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes (§ 8330); or

If the street has been impassable for vehicular traffic for five years and no public money has been expended for maintenance during that period, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes (§ 8331); or

Excess right-of-way of a street is no longer required for street purposes, refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes (§ 8334); or

A part of a street lies within property under one ownership and does not continue through such ownership or end in touching the property of another refer to CA Streets and Highway Codes (§ 8334).

Summary vacation procedures can also be used to vacate public service easements in similar circumstances.

4. VACATION OR ABANDONMENT APPORTIONMENT

a. The exact outline or resulting shape of those areas in the street to be vacated is seldom considered until the street is considered for vacation. There is no absolute law detailing the outline or protraction of these areas.

b. Unless there are special considerations it is generally accepted that the adjoining lots or parcels have the underlying fee to the centerline, and the property lines are projected to the centerline. However, this is not always possible such as in the case of sharp curves with non-radial property lines, 90-degree corners or in cul-de-sacs.

EXHIBIT A
141

c. In another situation, with older maps, lots and streets were shown on the map, but not dedicated on the map, therefore there was no acceptance by the City Clerk. Use of these streets by the public over the years may create prescriptive rights of the public to these strips. If the streets were never accepted by the City, and this Street is now to be vacated the abutting lots may be entitled to the land to the centerline, the fee may revert to the original owner or his assigns.

d. Another exception is the case of “margin streets”, these are streets along perimeter streets where the entire right-of-way is taken from one parcel of land. If the two adjoining properties are owned by two separate owners, then the abutting properties within the development would claim the lands across the entire vacated street. However, if the developer of the subdivision owned the lands on both sides of property lines at the time of development, then the abutting lands of the street to be vacated would claim the land to the centerline of this margin street. In this case, it is important to work with the Title officer and land surveyor to determine how best to handle this situation.

J. IRREVOCABLE OFFERS OF DEDICATION

Irrevocable offers of dedication must be approved by the Legislative Body, which for the City of Livermore is the City Council, Irrevocable Offers of Dedication are either shown and dedicated on a map (See VI. Final Map Procedures) or by separate instrument. The City Clerk has been given the authority by the City Council by Resolution I-65, passed by the City Council on January 4, 1965, to accept offers of dedication. This authority is used for offers of dedication accepted on a map following the Parcel Map Waiver Process which allows map approval by the Community Development Director certifying the map was processed in accordance with Subdivision Map Act Section 66428(b) or separately by separate instrument with a certificate of acceptance or rejection.

Irrevocable offers of Dedication. According to Subdivision Map Act Section 66477.1, at the time the legislative body or the official designated to approve the final map, they shall also accept the dedication, accept the dedication subject to improvements, or reject any offer of dedication. “Offers of Dedication” shall remain open, and the legislative body may by resolution, accept the offer of dedication without further action by the subdivider. “Offers of Dedication” may be terminated and abandoned in the same manner as described herein for the “Summary Vacation” of a street (See Section H3 above).

All offers of dedication, whether on a map or separate, shall be reviewed by the City Project Coordinator using the Irrevocable offer of Dedication, Grant Deed, easement plan check list, and by the City Surveyor to make sure the plat, legal descriptions and closures are technically correct. After technical review of the plat and legal description is complete, the plat and legal description is signed and stamped by a surveyor.

EXHIBIT A
142
The Project Coordinator prepares the cover sheet. The city has a standard easement cover sheet template that is on the shared drive. (If an Agency or Utility Company is granting the IOD or Easement they may have their own cover sheet. This cover sheet may need to be reviewed by the City Attorney. The tax information on the top left corner of this cover sheet can be found in a reference book (available here).

The Project Coordinator prepared the City acceptance certificate. A template for this certificate is also on our shared drive(here). This template is prepared for the City Clerk’s signature. The City Clerk signs the acceptance certificate and attaches it to the cover, plat & legal before it is recorded with the County Recorder.

The project coordinator gives all the documents to Supervising Senior Civil Engineer and City Engineer for their review and approval.

After approval by the City Engineer the Engineering Coordinator prepares a memo written to the clerk with recording instructions. If the City Clerk will record the documents please provide a charge number for the clerk to use to pay for the courier who will record the documents. If a title company will record the documents, the Project Coordinator prepares a letter to the Title Company with recording instructions for the City Clerk’s signature.

We work through the City Clerk’s office, and often the Attorney’s office, to record documents. The Clerk’s office uses Agreement Tracker to keep track of the recorded documents so, these documents are uploaded into the Agreement Tracker for review and approval. An internal reference number is assigned through Agreement Tracker.

After documents are signed and notarized, the signed documents are also uploaded into Agreement Tracker including the memo to the clerk and the letter to the Title Company with recording instructions.

The memo to the clerk is used as a transmittal letter to transmit the original signed and notarized documents. This letter with the wet signed original documents is given to the Engineering Admin staff to log and route to the Clerk’s office via the Attorney’s office.

To review an irrevocable offer of dedication, receive an easement or land in fee title the Engineering Coordinator shall follow the following procedure:

a. Request the developer/person dedicating easement or land to the City to submit the following:

i. Title Report confirming ownership of land or easement rights of the dedicator.
ii. Legal Description of the easement or land to be dedicated or transferred to the City.
iii. Plat Map depicting the perimeter/boundary of the property described in the legal description along with closure calculations and reference documents.(See submittal checklist)

EXHIBIT A
143

b. R eview the documents submitted for technical correctness.

c. P repare the cover sheet for Irrevocable offer of dedication, easement, grant deed for execution by the dedicator, the certificate of acceptance, the memo to the Clerk and, if applicable, a letter to the Title Company.

i. T he City Clerk signs the certificate of acceptance and following the instructions in the memo, either records the documents charging the courier cost to the account number provided or calls the Title Company to pick up the original and conform copies of the documents with the recording instructions. Although the City Clerk will follow-up to confirm recording, it is the Project Coordinator’s responsibility to follow-up with the Clerk to confirm the documents are recorded and a conformed copy of the recorded document is returned to the city for filing in the official electronic files. An electronic copy of the document will be sent to the project coordinator. The project coordinator uploads the recorded document into Agreement Tracker then the Clerk’s office adds a link to the Lasar Fiche document in Agreement Tracker.

PROCEDURE FOR RECEIVING AND REVIEWING OFF-SITE EASEMENTS,

RIGHT-OF-WAY, TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS, RIGHTS OF

ENTRY AND/OR LEASE AGREEMENTS

Off-site easements, right-of-way submittals, temporary construction easements, rights of entry and/or lease agreements are included with the first submittal of an entitlement, final map or building permit submittal. In all cases all items listed on the off-site easement, right-of-way submittal, temporary construction easement right-of-entry and/or lease agreement list shall be included. All submittals shall be in their final form ready for the surveyor to sign and stamp.. If there are more than three off-site easements, right- of-way or other submittals a right-of-way acquisition map shall be included.

K. ANNEXATION OF LAND

The cover sheet for all construction easements shall include a termination date for all off-site construction work.(work with the City Engineer to identify the current Temporary Construction Easement form approved by the City Attorney’s office for conveying Temporary Construction Easement.

See Planning Division for latest application submittal requirements and annexation procedures. All annexations are part of an entitlement application process. As part of the entitlement process, an annexation proposal must be submitted to the Planning Division and must be approved by the Planning and Engineering Divisions first before it is submitted to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for approval. Local Agency Formation Commissions are independent regulatory commissions created by

EXHIBIT A
144
the California Legislature to control the boundaries of cities and most special districts.

Filing an annexation proposal with Alameda County LAFCO is an approximate 4-6 month long process in addition to the timelines for the entitlement process. No maps in the City of Livermore can be filed with the County Recorder until the annexation has been approved by LAFCO and completed with the recording of an annexation map.

L. PROPERTY ACQUISITION

Use the Property Acquisition Checklist in this Plan Check Manual to acquire property associated with a Development Project. Use this checklist to (1) assess site to identify if it is in the City’s best interest to acquire this property, (2) enter negotiations with the landowner and (3) complete the paperwork needed to acquire the land. Use the Property acquisition procedure and checklist in the Design Manual for property acquisition associated with a Capital Improvement Project.

M. CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS (CUP)

A conditional use permit is an entitlement submitted to the Planning Division following the Planning Division’s submittal requirements. Follow the entitlement checklist when reviewing a conditional use permit. Engineering staff must pay careful attention to the calculation of fees for a project with a conditional use permit because the approval is based on certain conditions being followed. If fees are based on certain operational conditions being followed, that when no longer followed do not require re-entitlement measures, care must be taken to ensure the conditions continue to be met. Deferred fee agreements between the developer and City can be executed to ensure additional fees are collected when the condition allowing the lower fee is no longer met.

N. SITE PLAN APPROVALS (SPA)

A site plan approval is an entitlement submitted to the Planning Division following the Planning Division’s submittal requirements. Follow the entitlement checklist when reviewing a site plan approval.

O. AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS

All developments must provide affordable housing or pay an in-lieu affordable housing fee. Affordable housing requirements must be met by developers for commercial and residential development. Residential entitlements of more than 10 units must include affordable housing according to the City of Livermore Affordable Housing regulations.

All entitlements are submitted to the Planning Division following the Planning Division’s submittal requirements. Follow the entitlement checklist when reviewing any entitlement with Affordable Housing. The Housing and Human Services Division will review the

EXHIBIT A
145
entitlement, identify housing requirements for the development and negotiate an agreement, if necessary, to provide and secure affordable housing. A Housing Implementation Process (HIP) may be used to allow developers to compete for allotted housing units. Proposals with affordable housing or offering other amenities beyond the City’s requirements may make the proposal more competitive allowing developers to be awarded limited annual housing units.

P. ART PROPOSAL AND INSTALLATION

All Developments must provide public art in their project or pay an in-lieu fee based on a percentage of the cost of the construction of the development. Satisfying the art requirement is a planning condition. If art will be constructed as part of the development, the art proposed must be reviewed and approved by the Art Commission.

The Planning Division together with the Innovation and Economic Development Department and Library are the City Departments that determine the application, submittal and approval requirements for different types of art projects. Please contact the Planning Division for the latest submittal requirements. City library staff and/or Innovation and Economic Development Department Staff will receive an Art Application, review the submittal and schedule it on the agenda for Art Commission review and approval. Engineering staff must review the art locations to make sure the art location does not interfere with the site drainage and has electricity routed to the installation location if lighting is required. Sometimes an art location map is needed and included on the improvement plans with construction details for approval by the City Engineer prior to construction. A maintenance agreement is also required for installed art. Engineering Staff must coordinate with the Developer, Library and Innovation and Economic Development Department staff and the Construction Inspector to make sure all of these requirements are met, and the finished construction of the art piece is acceptable to the Arts Commission, will be maintained by the developer and the cost of the ongoing maintenance is secured with a maintenance agreement.

Q. TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Telecommunication facilities consist of many types of wired and wireless infrastructure including but not limited to underground in conduits with fiber and other telecommunication wiring located in the public right of way, above ground cabinets/nodes connected to the underground infrastructure located in public utility easement and or public right of way, wireless communication antennas located on towers and or mono poles with associated ground equipment to support the communication antennas located on public agency or private property, small cell antennas located on streetlights located in the public right of way. It is important to note that telecommunication technology is a constantly evolving industry and the infrastructure, and regulatory laws are changing constantly. As a result, it is important that the project coordinator consult with planning on development code requirements and the attorney’s office to confirm our legal rights.

EXHIBIT A
146
Processing timelines and procedures for wireless telecommunications facilities Planning is taking the lead on implementing state regulations regarding the required timelines for deeming an application complete and approving the entitlement for a project per the telecommunications development code. It is important that the engineering project coordinator work closely with the planner to ensure state required timelines are met.

Requests for placement of telecommunications facilities on city or private land are submitted through the Planning Division as an entitlement. It the request for placement of telecommunications facilities is proposed on City/Airport land then the Planner and/or Engineering Project Coordinator shall direct the applicant to Economic Development to confirm whether or not a lease/license agreement is required and determine if the City will consider encumbering the City land with said agreement. Once confirmed by the Innovation and Economic Development Department the Project Planner will refer planning entitlements to Engineering for review. A telecommunications procedure/policy for City/Airport land has been developed. For facilities on private land the Project Coordinator shall review the entitlement using the entitlement checklist.

Telecommunications facilities typically have a restricted timeline during entitlement. It is imperative to make sure the review is completed in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the restricted timelines. Please consult with planning for the timeline for the project you are reviewing.

After telecommunications facilities receive an entitlement, they submit for a building permit and/or encroachment permit as applicable.

1. Confirm Property Ownership of proposed project.

a. If City owned property, the project coordinator will confirm with Planner that the applicant has been directed to contact the Innovation and Economic Development Director to determine if City would be interested in entering a Lease or License Agreement with the applicant. Get confirmation that Innovation and Economic Development Director is interested in doing a lease or license agreement with the applicant.

If yes, then put in conditions of approval that an executed lease or license agreement is required prior to approval of a building permit.

If no, then the Innovation and Economic Development Director shall inform the project planner that the city is not interested in entering into a lease or license agreement and that the application for the proposed site shall be withdrawn.

V. BUILDING PERMIT PROCEDURES

A. BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION REVIEW

All building permit applications are submitted to the Building Division. Permit Technicians are assigned the permits to refer to other departments, coordinate the comments and return to the applicant. Accela is the permit system used by the Permit Technicians and all department reviewers to distribute the permit submittal and upload comments into. Building referrals are sent to the Engineering Division, logged by the Administrative Technicians and assigned to Engineering Staff as directed by the Senior Engineer in charge of Final Map and Building Permit reviews. Engineering Staff become the project coordinator for the Engineering Division, coordinate comments from the Traffic Section and review the entire application package for completeness using the Building Permit Checklist (see Section VIII). The Project Coordinator should pay close attention to the checklist and ask questions of their supervisor if they are unsure if any of the listed plan checklist items apply to the project. For projects that have no entitlements the project coordinator shall also use the Standard Conditions of approval as a checklist to confirm that all of the standard engineering conditions have been met.

B. BUILDING PERMITS WITH NO ENTITLEMENT AND NO MAP

Applying for and receiving a building permit is a ministerial process that, for projects without a map, starts after a project is entitled (Planning Commission or City Council approval) or approved at a staff level. Not all projects require Planning Commission or City Council approval before a Building Permit application is submitted. When reviewing a building permit please consult the Planning Division first and then the Building Division when in doubt. Timelines for permit submittals and review are set out by the Building Division in accordance with the Permit Streamlining Act.

Projects that are entitled include the following:

a. Commercial and Residential Buildings noted as CM (Commercial Miscellaneous) may have entitlements noted as Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Site Plan Design Review Approval (SPDR)
b. Single Family Dwelling Units noted as DR (Dwelling Residential)

C. BUILDING PERMITS WITH ENTITLEMENTS BUT NO MAP

Grading Permits for rough grading and retaining walls may be issued when there is no map by submitting an application to the building division for approval. The building division routes plans to engineering and planning as part of their plan review process.

Grading Permits for rough grading and retaining walls may be issued prior to filing a

EXHIBIT A
152
final map only with the City Engineer’s approval pursuant to Livermore Development Code Section 10.05.050.

A rough grading permit will be considered for approval prior to filing a Final Map if the following procedure is followed:

1. The developer submits grading plans and interim erosion control plans as part of the overall subdivision improvement plans for plan checking to the project coordinator in Engineering.

2. The subdivision plans, including grading plans and erosion control plans, go through two or more plan checks through Engineering (including Planning and Building via Engineering). This review includes sound walls and retaining walls that might be on private property. The following issues must be completely addressed:

a. Interim erosion and sedimentation control plans must be complete. b. There are no unresolved issues affecting grading or drainage, such as effects upon off-site drainage or adjacent property owners.
c. All necessary permits and approvals have been obtained from other government agencies such as California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Zone 7), Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Alameda County Public Works.
d. All necessary off-site easements or rights of entry to conduct grading have been obtained.
e. Drainage study is complete and approved, with a stamped and signed copy placed in the project file.
f. Projects that propose to rough grade two or more phases simultaneously must have complete improvement plans checked for all phases to be graded as discussed above.

3. The project coordinator calculates the public works inspection fee (grading portion) and the grading permit fee (per City Master Fee Schedule) and informs the developer of the cost for the permit.

4. The project coordinator requests insurance requirements from the Risk Manager and obtains the Insurance Requirement Template for the project.

5. The project coordinator sends a PINS request to Engineering admin to have Developer upload insurance certificate into PINS.

6. Once the grading plans and interim erosion and sedimentation control plans are ready for permit issuance and the insurance is approved in PINS, the project coordinator advises the design engineer to bring in the original grading plans and erosion control plans for review and approval by the City Engineer/Development Section Supervisor.

EXHIBIT A
153

7. The City Engineer/Development Section Supervisor signs the original grading and erosion control plans.

8. The project coordinator instructs the developer to submit the following directly to Engineering:

a. T hree full size sets and three half size sets of the approved and signed grading and erosion control plans.
b. Corrective cash grading bond for corrective grading of the site and implementation of erosion control measures based on a City approved estimate (if prior to final map approval). Except in unusual circumstances, this amount is $10,000. c. A letter agreement by which the City could use the cash bond for corrective grading has been submitted (see attached sample letter agreement). d. Completed grading permit application form.
e. For projects involving channels, FEMA's Conditional Letter of Map.

Revision has been issued by FEMA.
f. For projects adjacent to a channel, FEMA’s Elevation Certificate has been completed and signed and stamped by a registered California land surveyor. g. Copy of Notice of Intent and WID number to verify compliance with the State Regional Water Quality Control Board general permit.
h. Copy of application fee sent with Notice of Intent.
i. Statement from developer of the location of the proposed receiver site of soil spoils, soil export, and other building or construction debris, and the proposed haul route (if there is export).

9. The developer submits the above items to the project coordinator in Engineering.

10. The project coordinator sends the insurance certificate to the City Risk Manager for approval and reviews the corrective grading bond for completeness and accuracy.

11. The project coordinator submits two full size and two half size copies of the grading plans to the Construction Section Supervisor and places one set on Engineering's hanging file.

12. Once the project coordinator is satisfied that all documents are in order (including receiving an "O.K." from the City Risk Manager), the project coordinator notifies the developer. The Project Coordinator prepares the grading permit.

13. The Developer pays the inspection, and permit fees and receives the grading permit.

The grading permit will include approval to construct retaining walls. The developer shall schedule a pre-construction conference with the Engineering Construction Section Supervisor.

14. Pre-construction conference (developer, contractor, Engineering inspector, and Engineering project coordinator) is held. Developer brings copy of grading permit to pre-construction conference.

EXHIBIT A
154

15. Developer's contractor begins grading operation under the inspection of the Engineering inspector. The Engineering inspector will also inspect sound walls and retaining walls that are on private property.

16. Developer submits two copies of certifications to the City Engineer that (a) the recommendations of the preliminary soils report have been complied with, and the lot pads have been properly compacted (soils engineer), and (b) that the pad elevations are at the elevations shown on the plans (land surveyor). These certifications are given to the Construction Section Supervisor, who provides a courtesy copy to the Permit Center (Engineering Desk).

17. The Permit Center (Engineering Desk) tracks the receipt of necessary certifications and verifies that certifications have been received before signing off on individual plot plans.

18. Individual plot plans showing detailed final grading for each house will be plan checked by Permit Center personnel. Engineering will not sign off on individual plot plans until the two pad certifications (see Item 14 above) for a particular lot or the entire subdivision have been received. The Building Inspector will check the fine grading of each lot for conformance with the individual plot plan.

19. The Engineering inspector notifies the project coordinator when the grading operation and implementation of erosion and sedimentation plan are complete. A final letter from the soils engineer stating that all recommendations in the preliminary soils report have been complied with is submitted by the developer to the project coordinator.

20. The project coordinator returns the corrective grading bond (if any) to the developer and advises the permit center to close the grading permit. (The corrective grading bond can be returned earlier once a subdivision improvement agreement, and bonds have been approved by the City Council).

D. BUILDING PERMITS WITH ENTITLEMENTS AND A MAP

1. For projects with a map, a building permit application is submitted after the Final Map is approved by City Council. The Engineering Division allows the building permit submittal prior to Final Map Approval if certain requirements are met (See Section B above).

2. Building permit applications for residential homes that are part of a Tract are submitted and issued after the final map is approved. Residential houses and multi- family buildings that are part of a tract are submitted separately to the building division as plot plans. Apartment and Commercial Buildings and custom homes that are part of a Parcel Map or Tract Map are submitted to the building division as site plans. All plot plans or site plans that are associated with a map are referred to the engineering division by the building division and the engineering division Senior Civil

EXHIBIT A
155
Engineer overseeing Final Maps typically assigns the referrals to the project coordinator who reviewed the tract.

3. The project coordinator checks the plot plans and site plans against the map and improvement plans for conformance and checks the plan against the engineering standards for utility and tree spacing and site distance to confirm compliance. The project coordinator uses the building permit checklists for plot plans, residential and commercial property.

4. The engineering coordinator confirms that a letter from the Surveyor has been received confirming the pad elevation of the proposed house or building. In addition to this, the Engineering coordinator confirms a letter from the soils engineer with compaction tests for each pad is received confirming compliance with the soils report and city soil compaction standards. Pad survey and compaction certifications are submitted to the Building Division for each tract.

E. INFRASTRUCTURE ACCEPTANCE BY CITY COUNCIL WITHOUT A MAP

1. Building Permit Process

Public Improvements can be constructed on private property with a building permit and on public property with an encroachment permit. When constructed on private property, the public infrastructure improvement is maintained by the owner of the private property until an easement or road right-of-way is transferred to the City and accepted by City Council for maintenance.

2. Encroachment Permit Process

The encroachment permit is intended to permit construction in the public right-of- way. It is often used by the City of Livermore more broadly as a catch-all permit for unusual circumstances when no other permit fits the situation. Encroachment permits are issued for construction or storage of materials within the public right of way and on public land. An encroachment permit application is submitted to the engineering division together with the plans. Engineering Administrative staff log encroachment permits when submitted and give them to the Senior Engineer managing final maps and encroachment permits. The Senior Engineer distributes the encroachment permit submittal to staff to review. Encroachment permits can be simple or complicated. Most permits are issued within 2 weeks and are effective for 6 months with a six-month extension upon request. More complicated and unusual encroachment permits can last up to 10 years to match environmental monitoring or other outside agency-imposed maintenance timelines until permit requirements are satisfied. In all situations, encroachment permits are granted by the city for a temporary construction or maintenance activity.

Engineering Coordinators review encroachment permit submittals to make sure the information is complete. If not, the submittal is returned to the applicant. When

EXHIBIT A
156
complete the submittal is reviewed for compliance with city standards much like improvement plans are reviewed, and conditions of approval are added. Fees are calculated based on the value of the work being requested to cover city administrative and inspection staff time. Fee rates are published in the City Master Fee Schedule. The Engineering Coordinator issues the permit based on the information provided, enters the fees due and adds the conditions of approval. Two copies of the permit are printed on paper with the general conditions on the back.

The engineering coordinator signs both copies of the permit on behalf of the City Engineer, attaches a copy of the plans and notifies the applicant the permit is ready to pick up. When the applicant pays the fees and signs both copies of the permit, one copy is given to the inspector and one copy is given to the applicant. The applicant is directed to call for inspection 48 hours in advance. After the construction is complete the permit is finalized by the inspector and retained in the engineering files. If City of Livermore public infrastructure is constructed by a Developer with an encroachment permit that infrastructure must be accepted by City Council along with any easements or public right of way as applicable. See Section D.3. below City Council Acceptance of Public Infrastructure Without A Map.

3. City Council Acceptance of Public Infrastructure Without a Map

a. After construction of a public improvement is complete and all the special conditions of the Encroachment have been satisfied the construction inspector notifies the project coordinator that the improvements are ready for City Council acceptance.

b. If easements are planned to be recorded after construction, the project coordinator uploads the signed easement into Agreement Tracker along with a memo with recording instructions to the Clerk and a letter to the title company.

If any documents are time sensitive items (like a resolution or contract) that are needed immediately following the City Council meeting it is the drafter’s responsibility to communicate that in advance of the meeting in the comments section of Peak and via email to the Clerk team before the meeting.

Please keep in mind that it generally takes 1 week to finalize agenda items after a meeting. If you need anything prior to that timeframe, it must be communicated prior to the Council Meeting so the clerk team can plan accordingly.

c. Project coordinator writes staff report in PEAK and uploads location map, copy of easement and resolution in PEAK. When complete work flow is initiated for review by supervisor. Easements must be signed and notarized by the outside party when the staff report is submitted. If you don’t have the signed and notarized easement, please move the item to a future meeting.

d. Project coordinator scans signed original documents and uploads them each separately in Agreement Tracker and saves them in the engineering Sharepoint file.

EXHIBIT A
157
e. 25 days prior to the Council Meeting:

i. All staff reports, resolutions, ordinances and attachments are approved in PEAK and in the Assistant City Clerk’s Que.

f. 16 days prior to the Council Meeting:

i. The City Clerk publishes the agenda package.
ii. Project Coordinator prepares a PowerPoint presentation and provides it to the Clerk.

g. Day of the Council Meeting (Monday):

i. Practice session is typically held in the afternoon of the City Council Meeting. Check with the City Clerk's Office for current places, dates and times.

ii. The Council Meeting is normally held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Council Chambers at S. Livermore Avenue. Check with the City Clerk's Office for current places, dates and times.

After the City Council has accepted the public improvement for maintenance:

1. T he project coordinator will deliver the public improvements to City maintenance staff for maintenance.

2. The City Clerk will notify the developer's title company to pick up the easement for recording.

After easements have been recorded:

1. The title company provides an electronic copy of the recorded easement to the Engineering Division.

2. The project coordinator follows up with the title company or clerk after 30 days to verify that the easement has recorded and to ensure that the City receives a copy of any other recorded documents (easement, irrevocable offers of dedication, etc.).

EXHIBIT A
158
VI. FINAL MAP PROCEDURES

A. FINAL MAP AND PLAN PRE-SUBMITTAL

1. The developer and engineer are highly encouraged to meet with the Project Coordinator, if assigned, or Senior Engineer managing development review during the design process to review the conditions of approval and to discuss design issues prior to the first formal submittal of the project for review.

2. If off- site right -of-way is required for the project, the developer needs to make contact and begin negotiations with the affected property owners The developer requests a sample letter from the Project Coordinator and drafts a letter to be submitted to the Senior Engineer or Project Coordinator, if assigned, prior to being sent to the property owners.

3. It is important for the developer to know the following before filing a final map (submitting a final map and plans to the city for review, approval and recording with the county surveyor):

a. Filing a final map is a ministerial process that is performed in accordance with the Permit Streamlining Act after a Tentative map is approved by the Planning Division and an Exhibit B-1 or other planning approval is received.

b. The Developer has one year to apply for filing a final map. A Tentative Map approval may be extended (see Section D for Tentative Map Extension Procedures).

c. As required in the Subdivision Map Act (Section 66456.2(a)) all plan checks will be completed within sixty 60 working days, except that at least 15 working days shall be provided for processing resubmittal improvement plans and maps. This is approximately 12 weeks (not including the time it takes the Developer’s engineer to make revisions between the plan reviews by the city). The City of Livermore Engineering Division has interpreted this to mean that the first plan review by City staff is 5 weeks, the second plan review by City staff is 4 weeks and the third and each subsequent review after the second review is 3 weeks. The goal for City engineering staff review is three plan reviews totaling 12 weeks.

d. A final map application is completed by preparing design plans, maps, supporting calculations and other required documents (see corresponding final map checklist in section IX). All final maps are reviewed and approved by the Engineering Division. The Engineering Design Manual lists the procedures for preparing design plans and specifications for public projects.

All private projects that are considered a subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment, Parcel Map, Tract Map, Parcel Merger, etc.), must be submitted first to the

EXHIBIT A
159
engineering division for review and approval before final design plans can be submitted to the Building Division for a building permit.

e. The initial submittal of all project documents and estimated fees submitted to the engineering division are received by the Senior Engineer managing plan reviews. The submittal received is given to engineering admin to log in and then have the engineering manager assign to a Project Coordinator.

f. The Project Coordinator is either the assigned engineer or the assigned engineering technician and will be the main point of contact throughout the review process.

g. When the map and/or plans are approved, and permits are received to begin construction, the primary engineering point of contact transfers to the Construction Manager who assigns it to an engineering inspector. The assigned engineering inspector we be the primary point of contact and the Project Coordinator will remain a secondary point of contact and assist the inspectors during the construction process and project close out. The Project Coordinator shall prepare a construction memo that identifies the project cost accounting information along with the developer and contractor contact information for the project. In addition, the Project Coordinator shall provide the construction team with full size and half size drawing sets that are to be provided by the Developer (in the amount requested by the Construction Manager).

h. If the Developer proposes a revision to the approved plan set, the Developer shall submit a written request for revision with appropriate justification for City review. Developer shall not proceed with revisions until the City has provided approval in writing. Upon approval, the Developer shall reflect the changes in the as-built plans.

B. FINAL MAP AND PLAN SUBMITTAL

1. Initial Submittal

a. O riginal submittal of up to ten copies and one electronic copy must be complete. (The Project Coordinator/Senior Engineer should be contacted to answer any questions about what constitutes a complete submittal, especially if a project has special features).

b. T he Submittal is made to the supervisor of the Development Section of the Engineering Division then logged in by Engineering Admin staff.

c. T he Project Coordinator is assigned to the project, and a project number is created to allow staff to track their time to the project. The project coordinator provides this billing time code to everyone the submittal is sent to for review.

EXHIBIT A
160

d. T he Developer is required to designate a contact person for the project. The Project Coordinator will process all plans and maps through the designated contact person.

2. I nitial submittal & re-submittal review process:

a. T he Project Coordinator will review each submittal first for completeness and then for technical correctness and content. A letter stating completeness will be sent within 5 business days after receipt of each submittal. This letter shall include the date the submittal was received, any critical outstanding work items that must be performed (such as gaining approved PG&E, Cal Water and joint trench plans prior to Final Map Acceptance), the initial or final plan check fee that is due at this time based on the engineering cost estimate (for 1
st and last submittal only) and the date when this review is estimated to be complete.

b. If the submittal is incomplete or is not in general conformance with the conditions of approval, an "Incomplete Submittal" an incomplete letter will be sent to the contact person within 5 business days. The letter will include a complete list of items that need to be addressed in order to constitute a complete submittal. See check list items in Section IX. The City’s plan check review time for each review will not start until a complete submittal is accepted by the City.

3. Re-submittals

All re-submittals shall be made directly to the project coordinator and shall include the following:

Hard copies as determined by the project coordinator and one electronic copy of revised drawings. (All revisions other than those made in response to City comments shall be brought to the Project Coordinator’s attention).

The previous plan check set (redlined plans along with written City comments) annotated with developers responses to redlines and written comments. If the City's last plan check set is not returned, the submittal will be deemed incomplete until they are received. If they are lost, the City will need to re-check the whole set of plans, and therefore supplemental plan check fees shall be paid. For ease of back-checking, no marks, other than response to City comments, shall be made on the plans. Use of anything to highlight or obliterate City comments shall require supplemental plan check fees to be paid.

Any other requested documents.

EXHIBIT A
161
C. FINAL MAP AND PLAN CHECK

1. The Developer must secure all required entitlements prior to submitting a final map and plans for plan review. The project coordinator starts the plan check process when complete submittal is received (as defined by this document and by the conditions of approval).

2. The project coordinator refers submitted items to other departments and other agencies, as appropriate, for comments via a referral memo/letter sent by interoffice mail/mail and email. The referral letter specifies a response date.

The final map, the annotated conditions and/or conditions matrix, the improvement plans (including the landscape plans) are always referred to the Planning Division.

3. The improvement plans are always referred to the Fire Department, Traffic Engineer, Water Resources staff in 1) Collections and (2) Water & Recycled Water, Public Works staff in (1) Landscaping and (2) Streets, Construction Manager, Building Department Structural Engineer (if structures are proposed) and any outside agencies involved as appropriate. The project coordinator is responsible for reviewing all submitted documents.

a. If any consultants are assisting the project coordinator, the project coordinator shall refer the map, closure calculations and all map related documents to the contract Surveyor and all documents to an assisting Consultant Plan Checker.

b. After the consulting plan checkers complete their review it is the Project Coordinator’s responsibility to review their work and consolidate their comments in order to clearly communicate all the review comments to the Developer and respond to any questions they may have. Plans are referred to the Construction Manager on the second and subsequent submittals after the plans are complete. Both the plans and the plan check list are sent with each referral.

c. All reviewers shall use the Final Map Process Checklists (including check lists for the following: improvements, bond estimate, Joint Trench Plan), the Standard Details, Project Conditions of Approval, Development Agreements and all other relevant agreements and checklists when reviewing the map, plans and additional required documents. The plan check includes a site visit.

4. The project coordinator marks comments in red on the submitted items.

Numerical values and other information that are correct on the submitted documents will be highlighted in yellow. Major items may be listed in a typed transmittal letter addressed to the contact person. The project coordinator verifies that he or she has all referral responses and includes those comments

EXHIBIT A
162
after reviewing them for consistency. The project coordinator returns the red- lined documents with the plan check comment letter to the contact person for revisions.

5. Second and subsequent plan checks follow steps 1 through 4 above until the submitted documents have been approved by all departments, divisions, and agencies.

6. The contact person may ask the project coordinator for a meeting to discuss the plan check. The contact person shall provide a written agenda for the meeting at the time the meeting is requested. This will allow the project coordinator to determine the best time to schedule the meeting.

7. After final corrections from the second/third plan review have been made, and the plans are nearly complete, the project coordinator refers the plans to the Construction Supervisor and the City Engineer for review before the plans are signed.

8. After final corrections from the second/third map review have been made to both the map and improvement plans (100% complete plans with minor corrections needed), the project coordinator sends an email to the Risk Manager/Assistant Risk Manager describing the project and requesting the insurance template form number to use when requesting the Developer to submit insurance certificates in the PINS system and the template to use in the Subdivision Improvement Agreement as Exhibit B.

9. Contact the Engineering Admin staff for the current PINS procedure. The project coordinator refers the map to the section supervisor and the City Engineer for review before the map is ready to be signed. At this time the project coordinator prepares the subdivision improvement agreement and bond forms for City Attorney review to form and receives a pdf copy of the document approved to form with an attorney document date. After the document is approved to form no additional changes can be made. The agreement and the bond forms are ready to be sent to the applicant for signature. If the applicant must make any changes to the agreement or bond forms, the document with proposed revisions must be re-sent to the City Attorney to be approved to form before a pdf of the revised agreement can be signed by the applicant.

10. When the map and plans have been reviewed and approved by the Development Section Supervision/City Engineer and are ready to be signed by the City Engineer, the following actions shall occur:

11. The project coordinator determines the final map check fee and final plan check fee and notifies the contact person that any remaining balance needs to be paid prior to approval of the plans.

EXHIBIT A
163

12. The project coordinator calculates the inspection fee. The project coordinator then notifies the contact person that either: (1) If a grading permit has been taken out, then the balance of the inspection fee is due prior to either the pre- construction conference for the balance of the improvements, or the approval of the final map (whichever comes first), or (2) The total inspection fee is due with the grading permit (or prior to any inspection if a grading permit is not required).

13. The project coordinator reviews the Final Approval of Tract Map Checklist listing items needed prior to City Council Approval and sends a letter to the contact person with final comments in a cover letter requesting the original signed plans and map and documents needed on the checklist.

14. The contact person submits the original plans and map with all signatures properly executed, one set of prints, any plan check fee balance and the inspection fee balance (if a grading permit has been taken out) and all remaining documents requested of the contact person that remain on the Final Approval of Tract Map Checklist for items required prior to City Council approval.

EXHIBIT A
168

E. BOND ESTIMATE REVIEW

The bond estimate is used to calculate the bond amounts that the developer submits to the City to secure the performance of the contractor in installing all of the public improvements and some private improvements needed for the safety of the occupants of the tract. A bond estimate is submitted with the first final map submittal. It is also used to calculate the Improvement Plan Check fees that are due with the first submittal. The project coordinator shall review the bond estimate using the Final Map Bond Estimate Check List and the latest costs for public works construction signed by the City Engineer.

The checklist identifies the percentages to include for bond enforcement, inflation, and construction contingencies. Design contingencies may also need to be included in the bond estimate if bonds are required before the plans are 100% complete. The contingency for bond enforcement is added to the bond amount to provide the city enough funds to cover the city’s administrative costs to call the bonds and receive the money needed to either complete the construction of the public improvements or return the site to its original condition. Three bonds are required: Faithful Performance (100% of bond amount), Labor and Materials (50% of bond amount) and Maintenance (15% of bond amount). The Faithful Performance and Labor and Materials Bonds are required prior to approval of the Subdivision Agreement. The Maintenance bond is required prior to acceptance of the final map and public improvements. Consult your supervisor for any actions that may be necessary due to any unique circumstances.

F. JOINT TRENCH PLAN REVIEW

Joint trench plans are submitted as a separate set for review with the improvement plans and map. The approved joint trench plan set may only be included as a part of the improvement plans as a reference document. The final approved joint trench plans shall show all dry utilities on them and shall be approved and signed by all utility companies with facilities on the plans. The dry utilities shown on the plans are reviewed by the project coordinator with the improvement plans and map to confirm that none of the dry utilities interfere with any improvements on the improvement plans and are located in the public street or a public utility easement. Dry utilities shall only be installed in public road right-of-way or public utility easements as shown on the Final Map. If in the field the utility cannot fit in the designated public utility easement or road right-of-way then a public utility easement must be recorded for the portion of the utility that did not fit into the designated easement or right-of-way and documented with a Joint Trench Plan and improvement plan revision or as-built plans and with a map revision or separate easement recorded after the map is filed.

G. ELECTRONIC PLAN AND MAP REVIEW

a. Submit an electronic copy of every printed plan and supporting document on a flash drive or link with the hard submittal. Until the city implements an entirely

EXHIBIT A
169
electronic submittal and review process the city will be using both the electronic copy and hard copy in the review process. The flash drive should be titled with the Project name and Tract number as appropriate. The files on the flash drive or link should be listed in the same order as the hard submittal.

b. The project coordinator shall create a project folder on Share Point when available. All electronic documents are uploaded to the project folder in a subfolder entitled First Plan Check. Project Coordinator provides a link to staff and access by reviewing agencies to the folder.

c. The project coordinator creates a workflow in Accela when referring electronic plans to all reviewing departments and agencies.

d. The project coordinator creates subfolders for all encroachment permits, right- of-way and agreements associated with the project.

e. When the project coordinator completes the plan review, he/she saves any electronic comments and red-lined plans to the electronic file. The project coordinator then consolidates the comments and prepares one letter to the developer with all the comments included in it and emails it to the developer’s engineer with a copy to the Senior Development Engineer, developer and owner. The project coordinator then forwards the comment letter to the consultants reviewing the project and the referring departments.

H. FINAL APPROVAL OF TRACT MAP & CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL

Follow the Final approval of Tract Map Checklist to confirm you have completed each of the steps to finalize the map, improvement plans and agreement. Confirm all of the conditions of approval have been met or they will be met through future preparation or construction that is secured in an agreement with bonds or formation of an improvement funding or maintenance funding district. Follow the Electronic Plan and Review procedures above and the Electronic Plan and Review procedures checklist to confirm that you have uploaded and electronically filed all the necessary documents for City Council Approval (See City Council Approval Procedures below) and map and document recording. Follow-up with the City Clerk after the City Council Meeting is held to provide any additional information and confirm timelines for recording. When the recording time has come follow up with the Clerk again to confirm recording and obtain electronic copies of recorded documents for filing in Engineering Shared Files and to provide to IT/GIS to include in the electronic document archival system.

g. The project coordinator uploads a memo with recording instructions to the Clerk and a letter to the title company into Agreement Tracker with the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with a note referencing the map, agreements and other documents to be recorded. If any documents are time sensitive items (like a resolution or contract) that are needed immediately following the City Council meeting it is the drafter’s responsibility to communicate that in advance of the meeting in the comments section of Peak and via email to the Clerk team before the meeting. Please keep in mind that it generally takes 1 week to finalize agenda items after a meeting.

If you need anything prior to that timeframe, it must be communicated prior to the Council Meeting so the clerk team can plan accordingly.

h. P roject coordinator writes staff report in PEAK and uploads location map, copy of map and resolution in PEAK. When complete work flow is initiated for review by supervisor. Contracts and amendments must be signed by the outside party when the staff report is submitted. If you don’t have the signed contract, please move the item to a future meeting.

I. ESTABLISHING OR AMENDING A FINANCIAL DISTRICT

Please check with the City Attorney’s office on each project to make sure that the formation or annexation of a Financial District is the best way to assist the Developer in

EXHIBIT A
174
financing the Capital Improvement, Fees or the maintenance of their project. Also confirm that you have the latest procedures according to the current laws. Not all projects are eligible for public financing. Please consult your supervisor for the current city policy.

The information provided in Section X describes the procedures and provides checklists for formation and annexation into a Landscape Maintenance District, Community Facilities District and SCIP Communities Facilities District.

Generally, the project coordinator, with the help of consultants, prepares the initiation documents, a Description of Services and works with the City Maintenance Division and Engineering Division to calculate the costs of either the Capital Improvements, Maintenance and or Fees. The project coordinator works with the Attorney’s office, their bond counsel and consultants on contract who specialize in Financial District formation, the Finance Division and the City Manager’s office. Once the formation documents are prepared and finalized a staff report is prepared and reviewed to obtain City Council Approval on the formation of a new district or annexation into an existing district. After this step formation documents are prepared and a second staff report is prepared and reviewed to obtain City Council Approval to form the district. The process and timelines are different for the different types of districts. All formation documents are recorded with the County Recorder’s office and documents should be recorded as soon as possible after the City Council meeting where the final formation of the district was approved and authorized After the Finance District is formed the Finance Division issues bonds, the County Assessor’s office levy’s taxes or assesses the property and the Maintenance Division maintains the new improvements with the funds from the bond sales/taxes/assessments. An engineer’s report, tax or assessment may be required annually.

J. SEGREGATION OF ASSESSMENTS

Assessment Districts are formed to finance public infrastructure. Private land owners enter into a development agreement with the City to dedicate land or construct public improvements for the rights to develop their land with commercial or residential buildings. When the City or another public agency works with the developer to form an assessment district and sell bonds to finance the public infrastructure assessments are placed on the private property to pay back the city for the bonds over time. This is a form of a loan. Assessments are the mechanism for the city or other public agency to pay back the loan. When assessments are on one parcel of land and that land is divided into two or more parcels the assessments need to be divided and places on the new parcels. This is called the segregation of assessments. The engineering coordinator must review the title reports of all projects to see if there are any assessments on the land. If no assessments there is nothing more to do. If there are assessments, the engineering coordinator shall contact the finance division or their consultant to find out the amount of the assessments remaining on the parcel and ask the developer if they want to pay off the remaining balance or prepare the paperwork to segregate the assessments. If they choose to segregate the assessments then the

EXHIBIT A
175
Engineering Coordinator works with the Consultant to the Finance Division and the Developer’s engineer to prepare the necessary paperwork to do this. This typically involves a revised engineering report and assessment map that usually need to be recorded with the County Recorder and submitted to the tax assessor. Contact the County Tax Assessor to confirm deadlines for the annual tax assessment and when the paperwork must be received by the County for the next year.

K. TRANSMITTAL OF TRACT MAP AND PLANS TO CONSTRUCTION

1. After the improvement plans are signed by the City Engineer, the contact person picks up the originals and provides five (5) sets of 24" x 36" prints and five (5) half size sets to the project coordinator.

2. The inspection fees are paid (or the balance of the inspection fees are paid if the grading permit has been issued before the approval of the final map).

3. The grading permit is issued (or has already been issued) by the project coordinator.

4. The project coordinator places one set of the approved plans on the "plan check" stick file.

5. The project coordinator sends five sets of the approved plans (full and half size) to the construction section supervisor via a memo with the developer’s name, contact person and phone number only after the inspection fees have been paid.

6. When the project is located within the City of Livermore water service area, one set of plans is forwarded to the Water Manager.

7. After receiving the approved plans, the construction supervisor will set up a pre- construction meeting upon request by the contact person. A copy of the grading permit must be brought to this meeting.

8. The Senior Construction Inspector runs the pre-construction meeting. The project coordinator attends this meeting.

9. During construction, the construction section will contact the project coordinator if plan revisions are required. The project coordinator will then request a revised plan from the contact person. The revised plan must be approved by the Engineer.

Revisions must be accompanied by a letter from a registered civil engineer to the project coordinator saying that he or she has reviewed and approved the revisions and stating the reason for the change and at whose request. Revised plans will be reviewed by the project coordinator. For the City, the City Engineer must approve major revisions, while minor revisions may be approved by the development section supervisor.

EXHIBIT A
176

10. The developer/contractor shall provide TV inspection on their own sanitary sewer and storm drain pipelines after installation according to the TV inspection requirements in section XII. Video tapes labeled with the project name, tract /project number, date and CCTV inspector shall be provided to the City inspector.

11. Construction Inspector and Project Coordinator shall release bonds in accordance with the current requirements in the Subdivision Map Act.

12. After construction, the contact person has the Engineer revise the original improvement plans to show as built conditions. A final set of mylars with each sheet marked "record drawing" is submitted to the construction inspector by the contact person.

13. The construction section supervisor will deliver a memo to the development section supervisor stating that the improvements are ready for acceptance. The project coordinator will review the "Subdivision Final Acceptance Checklist" and place the subdivision on the Council pre-agenda if it is ready for acceptance.

L. TRANSMITTAL OF PLANS TO MAINTENANCE AND INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY DIVISIONS

Approved plans are transmitted to Maintenance and the Information Technology sections by the Engineering Coordinator at the same time as they are transmitted to construction. The memo transmitting them identifies the Developer and all City Division staff that have reviewed the project. It also states that the project is under construction and that the Engineering Coordinator will notify maintenance and information technology sections when the project infrastructure is accepted by the City Council and will transmit the electronic copy of the final map and/or as-built plans at that time. One hard copy of the approved map and set of plans is transmitted with the electronic copy to the Maintenance Division. Only the electronic copy of the map and plans are transmitted to the Information Technology Section.

After the project is accepted by City Council the project coordinator notifies maintenance and the information technology sections. One hard copy and electronic copy of the final map and as-built plans are transmitted to Maintenance. Only the electronic copy of the final map and as-built plans are transmitted to the information technology section.

M. INSPECTION AND PLAN CHECK FEE CALCULATIONS

1. Public Works Inspection Fees are based on the total approved construction bond estimate for the project. The following items are included within this construction bond estimate:

EXHIBIT A
177

a. Public Works Improvements;
b. Private improvements required of the subdivision such as private streets, storm drains, sewers, grading, etc.
c. Cal Water improvements;
d. Joint trench improvements;
e. Retaining walls and sound walls (in public easements); f. Landscaping in public easements;
g. Grading and erosion control;
h. Construction contingency.

The construction bond estimate is based on a City approved preliminary cost estimate for publicly bid public works projects, not the developer's bid prices for the project.

2. Plan Check Fees are based on the total approved bond estimate, as listed above, less the following items:

a. Cal Water Service Company water main improvements;
b. 75% of the cost of the joint trench improvements;

3. Inspector and Project Coordinator utilize the Subdivision Final Acceptance Checklist to verify all the remaining items have been completed.

4. Project Coordinator prepares a staff report for final tract acceptance and release of sureties.

EXHIBIT A
178

5. For all documents that need recording, the project coordinator uploads a memo with recording instructions to the Clerk and a letter to the title company into Agreement Tracker with a note referencing the documents to be recorded. If any documents are time sensitive items (like a resolution or contract) that are needed immediately following the City Council meeting it is the drafter’s responsibility to communicate that in advance of the meeting in the comments section of Peak and via email to the Clerk team before the meeting. Please keep in mind that it generally takes 1 week to finalize agenda items after a meeting. If you need anything prior to that timeframe, it must be communicated prior to the Council Meeting so the clerk team can plan accordingly.
