Agenda packet, regular meeting — Livermore City Council, April 28, 2025 (part 2 of 2)

Prior to the completion of the probationary period, the Chief of Police or a designated representative shall file with the City Manager or Administrative Services Director a notification in writing stating that the services of such employees shall be retained or rejected. Thereafter and prior to the completion of the probationary period, the City Manager or Administrative Services Director shall provide such notification to the affected employee.

Any Police Sergeant rejected during the probationary period following a promotional appointment shall be reinstated to a position as a Police Officer except when discharged for cause.

ARTICLE III. LAYOFF PROCEDURES
The City Manager, subject to the approval of the City Council and after consultation with the Chief of Police, may layoff an employee because of material changes in duties or organization, shortage of work, or funds. Thirty (30) days before the effective date of the layoff, the appointing authority shall notify the City Council of the intended actions and the reasons therefore.

In the event of a layoff, the employee in the classification in which the City is reducing the work force who has the least seniority in that classification may displace the least senior employee in the next lower paying classification(s) within the job family or previously held classification, provided such displaced employee has less service in that classification. If an employee has service in a non- sworn classification, they may displace the least senior employee in the non-sworn classification. If there is no lower paying classification, the least senior employee(s) shall be laid off. Seniority shall be determined as set forth in Chapter 8, Article VI of this agreement.

For purposes of this section, length of service in higher paying classifications shall be counted as service in any lower paying classification in the same job family. Non -regular part -time, provisional, or temporary employment shall not be counted in calculating seniority.

Re-assignment or displacement of employees within a classification or in the next lower paying classification in the job family shall occur only when the employee is capable by virtue of prior training and experience to perform the work required. The City Manager, upon recommendation of the Administrative Services Director and the Chief of Police, shall make the determination as to the employee's capability to perform the work.

Employees other than regular, full -time employees shall be laid off first, except that the seniority of employees in regular part -time positions shall be calculated on a pro- rata basis. Therefore, such employees may be eligible for retention of present or other regular part- time or job sharing positions.

Full-time employees who have elected job sharing or reduced work hours in lieu of being laid off, may be re-employed in full-time positions.

The City shall give as much notice as possible to employees who are to be laid -off, but in no case shall the notice be less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the effective date of the layoff.

No regular employees shall be laid off while employees working in an extra help, seasonal, temporary, provisional, or probationary status are retained in the same classification.

The City of Livermore will allow job -sharing as a means of reducing the number of employees who must be laid off. Job-sharing shall be at the option of employees who are in the same classification with

EXHIBIT A
257

Page 23 ends

the approval of the Chief of Police and City Manager. Employees who share a job will receive a pro-rated percentage of their regular salary and benefits. Benefits, which include health insurance, life insurance, vacation, sick leave, and retirement shall also be paid on a pro -rata basis to regular part- time employees. Full health insurance coverage must be maintained by regular full -time and regular part-time employees. (Regular part -time and job-sharing are defined as employment which is budgeted year-around at a minimum of twenty (20) hours per week.)

ARTICLE IV. RE-EMPLOYMENT
Laid-off employees who received an overall rating of satisfactory or better on their last evaluation shall be placed on a re- employment eligibility list, in order of seniority, for a period of one (1) year. Such lists shall take precedence over all other employment eligibility lists except promotional re -employment lists.

Displaced employees shall be placed on a promotional re -employment list in order of seniority for a period of one (1) year. Promotional re -employment lists shall take precedence over regular promotional lists.

Failure to notify the City of a change in address, refusal to respond or to accept a re -employment offer shall result in removal from all re-employment or promotional re-employment eligibility lists.

Employees on re-employment lists shall not have the right to displace working employees.

Former employees appointed from re -employment eligibility lists shall have the following benefits restored: (1) prior unused sick leave accrual, (2) seniority at the time of layoff for purposes of determining merit increases, vacation accrual, and future reductions in force, (3) re -employment employees shall be compensated within the salary range authorized for the classification and at the step (if steps are utilized) the employee had earned in prior employment. If the employee returns to a lower paying classification than the classification from which they were laid off, the compensation shall be set at the step in the lower paying classification which is closest in pay to, but not above the dollar level, of the most recent step achieved by the affected employee in the higher paying classification, (4) employees who are re -employed in classifications for which they have completed a probationary period shall not be required to serve a new probationary period, and (5) employees in a layoff status shall not continue to accrue seniority or benefits.

Vacation which has been accrued as specified in Chapter 3, Article II may be taken prior to the effective date of the layoff, or left on the books to be available upon re-employment for up to one (1) year. At the conclusion of one (1) year, if the employee has not been re -employed, they will be paid the accrued vacation in cash.

The City of Livermore may require that employees being re -employed successfully pass a medical examination administered by the City's physician.

Employees may elect to take a leave of absence as described in Chapter 3, Article IV of this Memorandum of Understanding in lieu of being laid off or displaced. Employees who elect to take a leave of absence in lieu of being laid off shall, upon conclusion of such leave of absence, be placed on appropriate re-employment lists based upon their seniority. Authorization of a leave of absence does not extend the term of the re-employment list.

ARTICLE V. DISCIPLINARY ACTION
Authority
The Chief of Police may dismiss, demote, suspend, reduce the pay, or impose other disciplinary actions on any employee for cause. Any employee who is disciplined shall be furnished a written notice of such action.

Employees absent without leave who fail to return to duty within twenty- four (24) hours after notice to return shall be discharged.

Procedure for Disciplinary Action
All disciplinary actions shall be administered pursuant to California Government Code 3300 et. seq. and all due process requirements.

Employees must be given prior written notice of any proposed discipline before such action is taken.

Such disciplinary action notice must include:

1. The proposed action;

2. The reasons for the action;

3. A statement of the charge(s) and a listing of or copies of any materials upon which the action is based;

4. Explanation of the employees right to the opportunity to respond orally or in writing to the charges.

The Chief of Police will act as the Skelly meeting officer. However, if the Chief is expected to be unavailable for thirty (30) days or more, they may designate another person to act on their behalf. If the employee is not satisfied with the decision of the Chief of Police or designee, the employee or their Union representative may appeal a dismissal, demotion, suspension or reduction in pay, based on the criteria below, to either the City Manager or to binding arbitration by filing a written appeal with the Administrative Services Director within fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the Police Chief’s determination.

1. City Manager Appeal Authority : Suspensions equal to or less than three days, or equivalent reductions in pay, may be appealed to the City Manager, or designee, whose decision will be final with no further right to appeal. The City Manager, or designee, may request an arbitrator hold a hearing and issue an advisory opinion prior to the City Manager’s final decision.

2. Arbitration: Dismissals, demotions, suspensions of greater than three (3) days, and reductions in pay equal to more than three (3) day suspensions may be appealed to an impartial Arbitrator. The City and Union will agree on an arbitrator. Should the parties fail to agree on an impartial arbitrator, they shall request a list of seven (7) names of qualified arbitrators from the State of California Mediation and Conciliation Service. The parties shall alternately strike names from the list until one name remains. The party to strike the first name shall be determined by a coin toss. When an Arbitrator is selected, it will be the responsibility of the Arbitrator to conduct the hearing and create the record of the hearing. The decision of the Arbitrator will be binding on the parties.

The costs of an Arbitrator and all incidental hearing costs (such as court recorder fees, transcription fees, etc.) shall be shared equally between the City and Union. Each party shall be responsible for their own costs.

ARTICLE VI. REINSTATEMENT
When employees who resign in "good standing" are reinstated to a position in the class from which they resigned, they shall have their seniority for the previous years of City service restored.

ARTICLE VII. SENIORITY
Beginning May 1, 2025, seniority for Police Officers will be based on the date of hire. When Police Officers are hired on the same date, the following criteria will determine seniority:

1. When a Police Trainee is hired , the date of seniority shall be the date they are appointed to a Police Officer after graduation from the basic police academy. If two or more Police Officer Trainees have the same date of seniority, those Police Trainees’ seniority will be determined by their final ranking in the basic police academy.

2. When a Police Officer “academy graduate” is hired on the same date as a Police Trainee’s appointment to a Police Officer, those Police Officers’ seniority will be determined by their final ranking in the basic police academy.

3. When a Police Officer “lateral” is hired on the same date as a Police Officer “academy graduate” or a Police Trainee’s appointment to a Police Officer, the Police Officer “lateral” shall be granted seniority.

4. When two or more Police Officers “lateral” are hired on the same date, seniority will be based on their years of service as a California sworn law enforcement officer (down to date of originally being hired, if necessary).

Newly promoted Police Sergeants seniority will be based on their date of promotion. When two or more Police Sergeants have the same date of promotion, seniority will be at the discretion of the Chief of Police.

The seniority list shall be maintained by the Police Department.

Attachment 1

ALE & LPOA EMPLOYEE'S

PERSONAL LEAVE POLICY
Personal Leave is a negotiated benefit available to ALE and LPOA employees. An eligible employee must complete six consecutive months of satisfactory service before being entitled to use personal leave.

The use of personal leave time shall be at the employee's request, and with the prior approval of his/her supervisor.

Personal leave must be taken prior to the expiration of each year. For the purposes of personal leave, the year begins with the first pay period paid in January and ends with the last pay period paid in December.

An employee shall not be entitled to pay in lieu of personal leave, and it cannot be accrued and carried over from one year to the next. Personal leave must be used prior to termination, promotion, or transfer to a different representation group.

It is a good practice to use your personal leave prior to vacation leave. By doing so, you eliminate the possibility of losing it.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 7.1

DATE:

April 28, 2025
TO:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:

Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:

Comprehensive General Plan Update – Discussion on General Plan Policy Topics

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends the City Council:
1 .

Receive an overview of the General Plan Elements;
2 .

Consider General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) and Planning Commission feedback on policy options for the Draft General Plan 2045; and
3 .

Recommend policy updates to include in the Draft General Plan 2045.

SUMMARY
The General Plan 2045 Update is focusing on preparing goals and policies for each General Plan element. Throughout the summer and fall of 2024, the GPAC provided input on policy options based on topics the Committee identified as important to the community. From December 2024 to April 2025, the Planning Commission provided feedback on GPAC’s work and provided recommendations for Council consideration in the General Plan Update. The Planning Commission mostly supported the policy options; however, recommended policy language be kept at a higher level and more specific detailed strategies be located in the appropriate implementation documents. The General Plan team prepared new draft policy language based on Planning Commission’s recommendation for Council’s review and consideration. Following Council direction, staff will prepare the complete set of draft goals and policies, which will be published as part of the Draft General Plan in fall 2025, which will start the next phase of community outreach and engagement.

DISCUSSION

GOALS AND POLICIES DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The General Plan 2045 Update is expected to carry forward goals and policies in the existing General Plan that are working well for the City. However, there are some important policy topics for which the current General Plan policy language is outdated and no longer responds to current conditions. There are also present-day issues and recent State law requirements that aren’t adequately addressed in the 287
General Plan. Attachment 1 provides an annotated outline of the Draft General Plan and the policy topics covered by each element.

The General Plan team continues to follow the policy development process described below:

Review existing General Plan goals and policies.

City staff reviewed the existing General Plan
goals and policies to identify which policies need clarification, improvement, or removal. In February 2023, the GPAC conducted a thorough evaluation of the existing General Plan goals and policies by element, provided feedback, and recommended topic areas the General Plan Update should consider. In April 2024, the GPAC reviewed and added to the list of policy topics.

Draft new and revised goals and policies.

The General Plan team prepared preliminary goals and
policies for every element to address policy gaps and respond to community input.

Collect input and direction on potential goals and policies.

GPAC reviewed policy options for
specific topics at a series of meetings from July to November 2024. The Planning Commission reviewed GPAC feedback and made recommendations in a series of meetings from December 2024 to April 2025.

Create Draft General Plan document.

The project team is seeking City Council direction on policy options to prepare the Draft General Plan, which will then be circulated for public review. The GPAC, Planning Commission, and City Council will have future meetings specifically to review the complete Draft General Plan, including updated policy language.

GENERAL PLAN POLICY TOPICS BY ELEMENT

The General Plan includes elements (chapters) covering different topics. State law requires every General Plan to have certain elements like land use, circulation, and housing. The current 2003 Livermore General Plan has additional and optional elements such as Community Character, Economic Development, and Climate Change. Policy options for the following General Plan Elements were reviewed by GPAC and Planning Commission except for the Housing Element, which was adopted in 2022 and is currently being implemented.

Land Use Element

The Land Use Element plans for future physical development of Livermore, which is intended to be a balanced mix of land uses that support diverse job opportunities, social gatherings, community experiences, and housing options while preserving Livermore’s agriculture and open spaces. As required by State law, the Land Use Element contains text and maps that designate the future use and reuse of land as well as standards of density and building intensity within Livermore.

Based on previous City Council direction from June 2024, the updated Land Use Element includes policies for:

Midtown Specific Plan
: Council directed Staff to prepare a policy framework to guide the preparation of a future specific plan including connectivity and independence from a future regional rail station.

288
East of Greenville Study Area
: Council directed Staff not to proceed with land use changes for the East of Greenville area, but rather to prepare policies that would identify and inform under what conditions a study of East of Greenville area could be considered.

Community Identity Element

The Community Identity Element attempts to capture what makes Livermore unique and conveys its character. State law does not require a Community Identity Element, but this element will provide policy direction for both natural and human-made features of the local environment, including scenic resources and broader aspects that contribute to how the community is perceived as a unique and welcoming place. This element includes goals and policies that address areas of tribal, cultural, and historic resources. Further, this element addresses social experiences and interactions, that contribute to how it feels to live, work, and recreate in Livermore. The updated element will include new topics with a social focus, such as how the City can enhance community engagement in City governance. Therefore, the General Plan team is recommending that this element be renamed Community Identity instead of the current Community Character.

Economic Development Element

The Economic Development Element defines the City’s overarching and long-range economic goals through 2045. This element provides policy direction to encourage economic vitality and new business attraction that contribute to Livermore’s quality of life, sustainability, and fiscal vitality. This element, which is not required by State law, is intended to provide broad policy guidance for economic development and fiscal policy and gives direction on ways to facilitate tourism, science and innovation, and economic resiliency to achieve strategic outcomes.

Infrastructure Element

State law does not require an Infrastructure Element. However, the City recognizes one of its primary functions is to provide utility services such as distributing water, collecting wastewater, and managing stormwater to meet the daily needs of the community. The Infrastructure Element provides a policy approach to addressing critical issues like managing and prioritizing improvements to the City’s infrastructure over time.

Public Services Element

State law does not require a Public Services Element. However, Livermore understands the importance of public services and the role they play in fostering community connections and enhancing quality of life such as library services, human services, and waste management. The element also includes topics that the City does not have direct control over such as schools and childcare but does provide policy support to guide the City's involvement in these areas. Currently, the 2003 General Plan includes policies pertaining to Fire and Police services in the Public Services Element. The project team proposes to relocate these topics to the Safety Element.

Mobility Element

The Mobility Element is a State required General Plan Element (referred to as a Circulation Element in State law, but cities can tailor the names and organization of Elements to the local context). The Mobility 289
Element must correlate with the Land Use Element and include information on the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, and terminals. It covers all “modes” (different types) of transportation, including, active transportation, motor vehicles, transit, rail, goods movement, and aviation. The Mobility Element must also plan a circulation network that meets the needs of all users and abilities, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, seniors, youth, and people with disabilities.

This new Mobility Element will reflect new State laws enacted since the last General Plan Update, including:

The Plan for the Future bill (SB 932, 2022):
requires the circulation element of a general plan
(made after January 1, 2025) to include specific content related to roadway safety with a goal of eliminating roadway fatalities.

The Parking Minimums bill (AB 2097, 2022):
prohibits a public agency from requiring a minimum
number of parking spaces for any development located within one-half mile from a major public transit stop with some exceptions.

Open Space and Conservation Element

The Open Space and Conservation Element focuses on protecting and restoring environmental resources within the Planning Area, ensuring access to parks, and conserving open space. Open space, whether parks and recreational areas or the surrounding hillsides, arroyos, and vineyards, plays an important role in shaping Livermore’s identity and improving the quality of life of the community.

State law requires all General Plans to include an Open Space Element and a Conservation Element.

The Open Space Element is concerned with the management of open space resources within the Planning Area. The Conservation Element is concerned with the conservation of natural resources, including plants and animal wildlife, rivers, lakes, and watersheds, agricultural lands, forests, soils and mineral resources. The current General Plan merges these two elements into one.

This update to the Open Space and Conservation Element will reflect new State requirements enacted since the previous General Plan:

The Open Space and Climate Change Resilience bill (SB 1425):
requires local governments to
review and update their open space elements to include plans and an implementation program that address:

1 .

Access to open space for all residents that promotes social, economic, and racial equity, 2 .

Climate resilience and other co-benefits of public open space, 3 .

Rewilding opportunities.

Room to Roam Act (AB 1889):
requires General Plans to plan for the protection and improvement of wildlife connectivity. Although this law does not take effect until January 1, 2028, the General Plan team will carefully review its provisions to determine what updates to include proactively.

Safety Element
290

As required by State law, the Safety Element addresses the protection of the community from any unreasonable risks from natural and human-caused hazards such as earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, climate change hazards, and hazardous materials. In addition, this element will cover emergency preparedness and airport safety.

The updated Safety Element will reflect new State laws enacted since the last General Plan Update:

Flood Hazards and Water Supply (AB 162, 2007):
requires cities and counties to address flood-
related matters in the land use, conservation, safety and housing elements of their general plans.

Fire Hazards (SB 1241, 2014):
requires all local jurisdictions (regardless of the level of wildfire hazard in the community) to develop policies and implementation actions based on the most recent Fire Hazard Planning Guide from OPR (now the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation [LCI]).

Emergency Evacuation Routes (SB 99, 2019):
requires the Safety Element to include information
identifying residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two emergency evacuation routes.

Noise Element

State law requires a Noise Element as part a General Plan. Noise Elements are required to identify noise problems in the community and include policies to work towards their resolution. Excessive noise in the City can be addressed in three ways:

Land use planning
Physical mitigation
Administrative regulation

Land use planning considers the existing and future noise environment when reviewing proposed development and locates new uses in a way that minimizes people's exposure to excessive noise. The Noise Element establishes exterior noise land use compatibility guidelines and wholistic mitigation policies. Chapter 9.36 of the Livermore Municipal Code is an example of administrative regulation, limiting the operating hours and duration of noise sources by decibel level. Given the technical nature of the Noise Element and specific State requirements, the GPAC did not review policy options for this element.

GPAC FEEDBACK ON POLICY OPTIONS

The Committee met six times from July to October 2024 to review and provide feedback on the draft policy options. The GPAC accepted public comments, asked clarifying questions, and provided a range of comments and feedback on the policy options. A detailed summary of the comments and input provided by the GPAC are included in Attachment 2. The GPAC will review the complete set of policy topics after publication of the Draft General Plan in fall 2025.

PLANNING COMMISSION FEEDBACK ON POLICY OPTIONS

291
The Planning Commission generally supported the policy options and input provided by the GPAC and commended their work in this process. Throughout a series of three meetings, the Planning Commission provided recommendations and feedback on GPAC policy options (Attachment 3). Overall, the Planning Commission broadly recommended General Plan policy language for all the elements should remain at a higher level of abstraction and detailed strategies should be incorporated into the appropriate implementation documents (such as the Development Code or Active Transportation Plan). The project team drafted example policy language for various elements in response to Planning Commission feedback as shown in Attachment 4. (These revisions are not inclusive of all policies). Staff is seeking Council direction on topic areas and the updated policy language.

FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS

On March 1, 2021, the City Council prioritized the General Plan Update and directed staff to develop a work program. The General Plan policy updates are a component of the work program and consistent with funds previously appropriated by Council, so no additional appropriations are being requested.

Following this Council meeting on the policy options and topics, the project team will incorporate Council direction into the Draft General Plan. The project team anticipates the Draft General Plan to be available for community review and input as part of a thorough engagement campaign in fall 2025, followed by adoption hearings beginning in Q1 2026.

Summary of GPAC Feedback on the
Land Use Policy Options
At th
e July 10, 2024, General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) meeting, the project team gave an overview of policy options for some topics that will be addressed in the Land Use Element. The policy options do not represent the complete set of topics that will be covered in this Element but focus on topics that the GPAC has previously discussed and indicated interest in. The community and GPAC will have the opportunity to review and comment on the complete draft Land Use Element as part of the Draft General Plan, which is anticipated to be published in Summer 2025.

A summary of the GPAC feedback on the policy options is below. The policy option topics included:
• Environmental Justice and Community Health
• Midtown Speciﬁc Plan
• East of Greenville Road Study Area
• Neighborhood Commercial Centers
Environmental Justice and Community Health
• Evaluate appropriate buffers or other mitigation for future residential development proximate to I-580. Clarify “require” and “encourage” in Policy Option A. o Policy Option A: Requiring or encouraging buffer and barriers for future residential developments within 1,000 feet of I-580.
• Expand Policy Option B to require landscape buffers in higher density residential areas. o Policy Option B: Requiring or encouraging landscaped buffers between residential areas and industrial or manufacturing uses and/or businesses with high levels of heavy truck traffic.
• Support for Policy Option E.
o Policy Option E: Maintain land use designations and regulations that encourage medical facilities and health care providers to locate in the community. • Include a policy that addresses ﬁre hazard and prevention in the east side of the City as an environmental justice issue.
• Integrate climate action policies throughout the General Plan. • Provide a city owned community center that provides cooling.

ATTACHMENT 2
319
Midtown Speciﬁc Plan
• Re-evaluate the distribution of housing in the Midtown area if Valley Link is not extended to this area.
• In Policy Option F , add public art to the new public amenities to be planed for in the Midtown Speciﬁc Plan.
o Policy Option F: The Speciﬁc Plan will identify new public amenities including, but not limited to, bicycle and pedestrian facilities; parks, plazas, and greenways; and community services. that support social gatherings and a sense of place. • Emphasize walkability in the Speciﬁc Plan.
• Need to plan for affordable and multi-generational housing. • Add a new policy that addresses access to healthy food, including farmers markets and pop-up food events in the Speciﬁc Plan area.

East of Greenville Road Study Area
• Make each policy more speciﬁc and less broad, e.g. specify the beneﬁts to the community. • Add risk mitigation/conservation to Policy Option B:
o Opportunity for substantial beneﬁts to community: mechanisms to facilitate new infrastructure and ﬁnancial resources to provide community amenities additional services, mechanisms to permanently conserve open space and wildlife habitats. • Add a policy to work with the County to improve enforcement of current regulations. • Consider adding a policy that addresses permanent greenbelt on the eastern edge of the city.
• Monitor and report on the inventory of available commercial and industrial land within the city. Summarize what is available and what is the projected need. • Consider whether housing should be included in East of Greenville Study as an ancillary use as part of a research facilities or in support of the National Laboratories.

Neighborhood Commercial Centers
• Add shopping center owners to Policy Option A:
o Policy Option A: Establish or work with neighborhood commercial associations or organizations that can be leaders in organizing and implementing transformations to Livermore’s neighborhood commercial centers.
• Balance the considerations of walkability and auto traffic for Policy Option B. o Policy Option B: Redesign and reconﬁgure neighborhood commercial centers to transition them from auto-oriented commercial strip arrangements to retail nodes with pedestrian oriented environments, public spaces, and amenities. • Maximize parking in the redesign and reconﬁguration of neighborhood commercial centers. • Collaborate with local and state partners for the development of transit-oriented communities, e.g. Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA). • Add a policy that addresses food security and equity, e.g. retaining local grocery stores. • Expand the variety of commercial center uses to include housing.

• Social resilience goals and policies should help address variety of challenges other than natural disasters and climate hazards.
• Emphasize that Livermore should be a safe and welcoming community. • Create spaces where people of different backgrounds can be in the same place and share experiences to encourage social cohesion.

Gateways
• Incorporate gateways throughout the city.
• Integrate aspects of Livermore’s community identity in the urban design of all new development.
• Recognize arts and science in gateways, especially on the east side of Livermore nearest the laboratories.
• Reﬂect the history of the railroad.
• Consider utility undergrounding as one way to "beautify" city gateways.

Land Use and Neighborhood Transitions
• Encourage landscaping buffers to help with land use transitions. • Improve neighborhood delineation through design features. • Provide guidance on how to integrate density and different building scales together. • The topic of land use and neighborhood transitions should address both improving community identity and preventing negative impacts.

Science and Innovation
• Integrate our heritage citywide like Livermorium downtown; murals that include our history; displays that share information about the city’s history and/or educational information about science.
• Integrate arts and science throughout the city such as in murals and in parks (e.g. Lawrence Hall of Science has a play structure that is a double helix). • Connections to history help the next generation be future ready and encourage future innovation.
• Innovation is not only about science. It can also be expressed in all kinds of ﬁelds: arts, agriculture, transportation.

Agriculture and Tourism
• Include support for biodiversity to sustain future agricultural production in 40 years. • Acknowledge other things outside of wine like breweries, farmers markets, and ranching to build Livermore’s brand as a food and beverage destination. • Livermore’s identity and tourism economy should highlight: agriculture, technology, maker spaces, craft industries, outdoor recreation, food, and downtown. • Topography in Livermore is beautiful; especially where the wineries are located.

Scenic Corridors
• The I-580 context has changed, and the Scenic Corridor Policies should be updated to reﬂect those changes and the community’s values.
• Explore scenic corridor policy adjustments to include other areas and not focus solely on views for travelers from I-580 but also the people who live in Livermore. • Midtown Focus Area will require adjustments to the scenic corridor policy to facilitate the desired outcomes for the area.
• Exceptions to the policies should be offset with high quality architecture and other improvements, such as trees and landscaping treatments, and should only be granted if a project provides speciﬁc beneﬁts (ex. job creation, tax revenue, etc.). • Scenic corridor policies should make Livermore inviting to outside visitors and be integrated with transitions or gateways that market the city.
• Unobstructed views of the hillsides are an asset that makes Livermore distinct from other communities.
• Consider a greenbelt policy that would buffer Livermore from Pleasanton and Dublin.

ATTACHMENT 2
329
• Partner with local tourist-serving businesses to offer mobility/transit passes to visitors.

Connectivity Across Barriers
• Support for policy options A through C:
o Policy Option A: Facilitate connectivity across I-580 and SR 84 (Isabel Avenue) by improving linkages among interrelated activities across neighborhoods. o Policy Option B: Improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity across I-580 through new and enhanced over and underpasses. Consider green passageways/linear parks and similar facilities, which also function to support wildlife movement across freeway barriers.
o Policy Option C: Improve connectivity between and through neighborhoods, to and from activity centers, for cyclists and pedestrians.
• Okay to keep Policy Option D “Identify opportunities to convert the existing at-grade railroad crossings to grade separated crossings, ” but converting existing at-grade railroad crossings should not be the priority.

Summary of GPAC Feedback on the
Open Space and Natural Resources
and Safety Policy Options
At
the September 11, 2024, General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) meeting, the project team gave an overview of policy options for some topics that will be addressed in the Open Space and Natural Resources Element and Safety Element. The policy options do not represent the complete set of topics that will be covered in these Elements but focus on topics that the GPAC has previously discussed and indicated interest in. The community and GPAC will have the opportunity to review and comment on the complete draft Open Space and Natural Resources Element and Safety Element as part of the Draft General Plan, which is anticipated to be published in Summer 2025.

A summary of the GPAC feedback on the policy options is below. The policy option topics included:
• Open Space and Natural Resources Element
o Establishment of Greenbelts and Urban Separations
o Equitable Park and Open Space Access
• Safety Element
o Emergency Notiﬁcation
o Drought
o Energy Resilience
o Flooding
o Agricultural Resilience
Establishment of Greenbelts and Urban Separations
• The Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) is one reference point when planning for a greenbelt but is not the only possible reference point.
• Preserve open space between Livermore and Dublin and prioritize protecting open space in northwest Livermore.
• Support for policy options that would increase and encourage use of easements and purchase of development rights to preserve open space.
• Plan ahead for open space acquisition before the threat of development is imminent. Land will likely only be more expensive in the future.

ATTACHMENT 2
331
• Deﬁne the different types of open space in the Element and be clear that open space and/or a greenbelt can include untouched habitat areas, land for parks and recreation, active agriculture, and other possible uses, and may or may not allow public access. • Support for the policy option calling for a wildlife linkage between East of Greenville Road to Northfront Road across I-580; this is a high priority for the Tri Valley Conservancy. • Change this policy option as follows:
o Educate Inform landowners about the value and resources available to place land outside the urban growth boundary into a conservation easement. • Where possible, consider acquiring c ontiguous open space on both sides of the UGB; some of our most sensitive habitat is on the former BART lands inside the UGB.

Equitable Park and Open Space Access
• Clarify the policy about ensuring all neighborhoods are “within a 10-minute walk” by adding distance in parentheses and/or adding “of an average person. ” • Add a policy about ensuring park maintenance.
• Add a policy about increasing shade in parks.
• Plan for transit service to parks.
• Promote water conservation by recommending future parks or park renovations use less grass.

Emergency Notiﬁcation
• Specify all the types of disasters that the city wants to prepare for. • Clarify that the emergency notiﬁcation system is for notifying the public in addition to ﬁrst responders.

Drought
• Balance the tourism economy that the city wants to grow with the water demand from potential new businesses. Consider allowing or not allowing new uses based on water consumption.
• Balance the environmental beneﬁts of urban landscaping and vegetation with water conservation measures that reduce irrigation.
• Plan for outreach programs that more directly provide education on water rebates and other conservation efforts.

Energy Resilience
• Address ways to reduce barriers to microgrids e.g. lobbying and working with state regulators.
• Include an action to explore the feasibility of the City establishing a Municipal Utility District.
• Coordinate with PG&E to secure the electrical grid against cyber-attacks.

ATTACHMENT 2
332
Flooding
• Clarify Policy Option A: Explain what and how many properties would be affected. Specify what it would mean to encourage people to convert properties in the ﬂoodplain. • Explore an incentive program for converting properties in the ﬂoodplain and check if other jurisdictions have implemented similar programs successfully. • Specify the location of the “100-year ﬂood zone. ”
• Consider installing retention ponds and other methods to address ﬂooding around the airport area.
• Emphasize the proactive mitigation of ﬂoodplains and stream courses in collaboration with regulatory agencies, in addition to imposing regulation on future development.

Agricultural Resilience
• Remove the following policy options since they are covered by State laws:
o Work with members of the agricultural community to develop specialized agricultural worker evacuation plans.
o Work with the agricultural community, landscaping companies, building and trade companies and organizations with outdoor workers, delivery workers, and providers of outdoor recreation to reduce worker exposure to extreme heat and provide heat-related health and safety services to workers.
• Ensure housing for agricultural workers.
o Include a policy about streamlining permitting for farmworker housing. • Explore the feasibility of subsidizing the cost of shade equipment or other equipment or requirements imposed on farmers by State regulations.

Summary of Planning Commission Recommendations
on the General Plan Policy Options
At various points between December 2024 and April 2025, the Planning Commission received an overview of policy options for several policy topics that will be addressed in the General Plan. The policy options do not represent the complete set of topics that will be covered in the General Plan but focus on topics that the General Plan Advisory Committee has previously identified and discussed. Based on the Planning Commission’s extensive working knowledge of the General Plan, the Commission provided feedback on draft policy language and additional topics that should be considered in each element as described below:

Open Space Element
- Some policy options are too prescriptive and read as strategies or tactics. (Example – the concept of Greenbelt preservation could be limiting and does not consider tradeoffs).
- Use language that does not over-commit the City or result in unfunded policies or mandates.
- Consider ways to support and facilitate agricultural uses. - Policies should guide implementation of drought tolerant and native landscaping. - Include policies about Urban Forest expansion and preservation for the multiple benefits it provides.
- Clarify the term “maintenance” and who is responsible. Consider services and amenities like restrooms in parks and open spaces.
- Access and connectivity between open spaces is important. Policy language should use specific numbers such as 10-minute walk or other industry metrics to provide meaning to the policy.

ATTACHMENT 3
334

Noise Element
- Excessive noise is related to mental health, can cause stress, be annoying and affect overall quality of life and is currently an important topic for the community.

- The Noise Element should be explicit and provide useful standards to the extent practical for a policy document.

Safety Elements
- Energy resilience is an important policy topic.

- Safety Goals are at the right level and well written but too prescriptive and specific as written; they are better placed in appropriate implementation documents and master plans.

- Be aware of externalities such as the insurance market (e.g. flood + fire) to consider whether new projects can actually be implemented and constructed.

- Make sure the proper policies are in the appropriate locations. There are many types of resilience. Agricultural Resilience may not belong in the Safety Element but rather located in the Economic Development or Open Space Elements.

Infrastructure Element
- Policies pertaining to South Livermore sewer extension may not belong in the Infrastructure Element. Consider what goal the City is trying to achieve – i.e. economic vitality – and consider moving to the Economic Development Element.

- Track and monitor infrastructure improvements and consider lifecycle costs in infrastructure analysis and prioritization.

- Educate people on water efficiency and other ways to improve City functions.

- Actively engage community in capital improvement programming and decision making. Consider accessibility as a priority criterion.

ATTACHMENT 3
335
- Define terms like “underserved” in the context of the General Plan to better understand policy intent. Consider including a definition of terms section in the document.

Public Services
Child Care
- Childcare is a current need for the community.

- Many of these policy topics are essentially already covered in the General Plan under the Housing Element. We should consider redundancy.

Heathy Food Access:
- “Remove barriers” to users who grow local fruit and vegetables.

- Expand farmers markets and similar opportunities beyond downtown to increase accessibility to local neighborhoods.

Senior + Aging Adults
- Add restrooms and public access somewhere in General Plan policies; needed at all stages of life.

Mobility
- Prioritize improvements that help further our climate adaptation and resilience goals:
o Streets for high comfort level for people/bikes in mixed use areas o Prioritize transit in street design
o Minimize conflict points between rail and other modes

- Support for micromobility and other mobility technologies that provide options for travel around our community.

- Consider Air quality, heat and other climate conditions when planning the network.

There is a need for public cooling because we have more hot days especially as we incorporate policy that encourage more people to walk.

- Consider modes for people who don’t have access to cars.

Land Use
ATTACHMENT 3
336
- Any East of Greenville study should occur outside of the General Plan update process; it should happen upon adoption of or in parallel with the General Plan to not slow down momentum.
- Possibly consider farmworker housing polices in any future study of the East of Greenville area.

Community Identity
- Scenic Views and resources are important to the community. Even if they are unaware of the policies behind them, people appreciate the outcomes. - The approach to Scenic Resources is strategic and less blunt of an instrument to achieve City goals.

Economic Development
- Ensure policies pertaining to tourism are not just for visitors but also provide amenities, services, and quality experiences for the local community as well. - Policy language should also include support for local and craft industries. - Try to address “missing middle” commercial spaces, market halls, and affordable small spaces.
- Establish a policy framework (and later implementation strategy) to remove barriers to entry for small scale unique local business in a variety of sectors.

East of Greenville Road Study Area

1. Original GPAC Policy Options
The GPAC reviewed the direction provided by the City Council at the June 10, 2024, meeting to include the East off Greenville Road area as a future study area:

A. Economic Development: Ability to accommodate additional economic development, adding significant new job-generating uses that could contribute to Livermore’s identity.

B. B. Opportunity for substantial benefits to community: mechanisms to facilitate new infrastructure and financial resources to provide community amenities and additional services, mechanisms to permanently conserve open space and wildlife habitats.

C. Impacts to current land uses: Limited capacity to sustain industrial and commercial development.

D. Opportunity to improve quality of life: Ability to address issues such as jobs housing match or other key indicators that further enhance quality of life for the Livermore Community.

2. GPAC Feedback
• Make each policy more specific and less broad, e.g. specify the benefits to the community.
• Add risk mitigation/conservation to option B:
o Opportunity for substantial benefits to community: mechanisms to facilitate new infrastructure and financial resources to provide community amenities additional services, mechanisms to permanently conserve open space and wildlife habitats.
• Add a policy to work with the County to improve enforcement of current regulations. • Consider adding a policy that addresses permanent greenbelt on the eastern edge of the city.
• Monitor and report on the inventory of available commercial and industrial land within the city.

3. Staff Example Draft Policy Incorporating GPAC and PC Feedback to Date General Plan Context
ATTACHMENT 4
340
Whether or not to Study the East of Greenville area for future land use changes will require observing changes throughout the community over time. The General Plan will establish policies and procedures to monitor, track, and report Key Performance Indicators, which may be used to initiate the evaluation of opportunities in the East of Greenville area. The Key Performance Indicator findings that could require further study include:
• Housing
o Ability to meet RHNA: The City anticipates significant challenges in meeting RHNA requirements within City limits
• Jobs:
o Housing Balance and Match indicates a need to expand employment opportunities
o Density/Quality (Wages: AMI; Jobs per 10,000 sq feet of nonresidential building types, etc.)
• Economic Capacity:
o Available Acreage for future uses Needed to Support a Robust Local Economy
o Vacancy and Occupancy Rates Limit Opportunities for Desirable Business Types
• Fiscal Health
o Annual costs exceed available revenues
▪ Infrastructure Maintenance Costs Exceed Financial Capacity (O&M + R&R)
▪ Cost of Services (Police/Fire/Library/Admin) exceeds fiscal capacity • Quality of Life
o Opportunity to create significant civic improvements or investments that could benefit the community.
o Threat to quality of the existing environment through inappropriate use of land
Staff would present monitoring reports to Council (at key intervals yet to be determined) which include some or all these metrics. Reporting would likely correspond with other studies and context information such as the budget cycle, Strategic Plan updates, and/or as part of the eight-year housing element cycles. Based on the results of routine monitoring and diagnostic reporting, staff would make a recommendation whether or not the City should direct staff to study the East of Greenville area.

Additionally, staff would evaluate any unforeseen situation or circumstance, not previously contemplated, that could create an opportunity to address or achieve strategic goals or ATTACHMENT 4
341
provide a significant community benefit. Staff would present this information to Council for direction and authorization to proceed with study of the East of Greenville Area.

Policy Language
ATTACHMENT 4
342
Goal LU-1 - Identify the area East of Greenville Road as a future study area to accommodate commercial/industrial (non-residential) land use capacity, facilitate job creation, and increase revenue generation.

Policy LU-1.1 Conditions For Further Study. Consider and Evaluate potential UGB and land use changes in the area East of Greenville Road under the following circumstances:
• Inability to provide services and maintain City infrastructure.

Operational challenges and financial shortfalls are identified through the course of regular monitoring and reporting, which could result in the inability to sustain needed revenues to provide municipal services or maintain essential infrastructure.

• Ability to accommodate a balance of Jobs and Housing

An imbalance of land use types is identified, through regular monitoring and reporting, that limits the City’s ability to either:

1. Accommodate new economic growth through new job-generating uses and/or high sales tax generating uses (high wage and/or high job density)

2. Achieve RHNA without redesignating other areas of the planning area

• Unforeseen Opportunities to achieve Strategic Goals.

City identifies a means to achieve a strategic goal or community benefits that could not otherwise achieved, not related to the City’s regular monitoring and reporting.

Strategic Goals includes the City’s ability to meet one or more key performance indicators.

Community Benefits include (but are not limited to):

▪ facilitate new infrastructure and financial resources, ▪ provide community amenities, (post-secondary educational institution, parks, sports parks, trails, libraries)
▪ maintain or improves service levels (tax revenue/increase to the general fund or other funding contributions)
▪ permanently conserves open space (wildlife, watershed, recreation) ▪ investments in Livermore downtown or wine country

ATTACHMENT 4
343
• Use of Land inconsistent with City’s Goals and Policies Through ongoing monitoring, the City determines that territory outside of the UGB is not effectively regulated or managed and/or land is being degraded in a manner inconsistent with Livermore’s vision, goals and polices, or in a manner that directly and negatively impacts Livermore Wine Country, the National Laboratories or adjacent Industrial/Business Park uses.

Community Identity
Scenic Resources

1. Original GPAC Policy Options
A. Policy Option A: Leave the Scenic Corridor goals and policies as is.

2. GPAC Feedback
• The I-580 context has changed, and the Scenic Corridor Policies should be updated to reflect those changes and the community’s values.
• Explore scenic corridor policy adjustments to include other areas and not focus solely on views for travelers from I-580 but also the people who live in Livermore. • Midtown Focus Area will require adjustments to the scenic corridor policy to facilitate the desired outcomes for the area.
• Exceptions to the policies should be offset with high quality architecture and other improvements, such as trees and landscaping treatments, and should only be granted if a project provides specific benefits (ex. job creation, tax revenue, etc.). • Scenic corridor policies should make Livermore inviting to outside visitors and be integrated with transitions or gateways that market the city. • Unobstructed views of the hillsides are an asset that makes Livermore distinct from other communities.
• Consider a greenbelt policy that would buffer Livermore from Pleasanton and Dublin.

1. Staff Example Draft Policy Incorporating GPAC and PC Feedback to Date

Context/Framework:

The current General Plan Scenic Corridor policies contain detailed requirements and specifications, usually found in technical implementation documents. The approach would amend General Plan policy, Zoning Map, and Development Code comprehensively.

Simplified Scenic Corridor policies would remain in the General Plan, regulation-oriented language would be relocated and modified into development standards, implemented through the Development Code consistent with GPAC and PC recommendations:

1. GP Policy. Consolidate existing General Plan standards and requirements into into one Goal with supporting policies.

2. GP Exhibit. Create an exhibit illustrating specific scenic resource areas community seeks to preserve, instead of universal restrictions along whole freeway.

3. Zoning. Move all standards into Development Code. Instead of view angles, apply height restrictions and design standards in overlay districts. a. Apply overlay districts only to those areas that have views of mapped vistas. b. Include exemptions for these areas to allow for flexibility. Criteria could be economic, community benefit, or feasibility based.

Policy Language:

Goal CI 12.12 Protect scenic views of areas surrounding Livermore.

1. I-580 Scenic Corridor. Establish a Scenic Corridor along the length of Interstate 580 that extends 3,500 feet from the freeway centerline. Within the Scenic Corridor area, identify specific and important scenic views and vistas.

2. Architectural and Landscape Design. Within the Scenic Corridor area, ensure high quality architectural and landscape design to enhance the Livermore scenic character, preserve and frame identified scenic views, promote compatibility with the natural skyline and create and intriguing and inviting entry into the Community.

3. Implementation. Apply specific height, design, and other development standards to maintain views of specific scenic vistas based on context.
