A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON CITY COUNCIL
PROCLAIMING A LOCAL EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZING REMOTE
TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODIES OF THE CITY
OF LIVINGSTON PURSUANT TO BROWN ACT PROVISIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Livingston (the "City') is committed to preserving public access and participation in meetings of the City Council; and WHEREAS, all meetings of the City's legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (Gov. Code, §§ 54950 - 54963), so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City's legislative bodies conduct their business; and
WHEREAS, Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e), provides provisions for remote teleconferencing participation in meetings by members of a legislative body without compliance with the requirements of Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), subject to the existence of certain conditions; and WHEREAS, a required condition is that a state of emergency is declared by the Governor, pursuant to Government Code section 8625, proclaiming the existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the state caused by conditions as described in Government Code section 8558; and WHEREAS, a proclamation is made when there is an actual incident, threat of disaster, or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the jurisdictions that are within the City's boundaries, caused by natural, technological, or humancaused disasters; and WHEREAS, it is further required that slate or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing or the legislative body meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and WHEREAS, such conditions now exist in the City, specifically, on March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency to exist in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19; despite sustained efforts, the virus continues to spread and is impacting nearly all sectors of California; and WHEREAS, there has been a significant increase in COVID-19 cases in Merced County due primarily to the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Emerging evidence indicates that the Delta variant is far more transmissible than prior variants of the virus, may cause more severe illness, and can be spread by fully vaccinated individuals; and
WHEREAS, as a consequence of the declared emergency, the City Council does hereby find that the legislative body of the City shall conduct their meetings (CWI081SS.1)
without compliance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), as authorized by Section 54953, subdivision (e), and that such legislative bodies shall comply with the requirements to provide the public with access to the meetings as prescribed in Section 54953, subdivision (e)(2); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e)(3), in order to continue to teleconference without compliance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (b)(3), the City Council shall, not 30 days after teleconferencing for the first time pursuant to this Resolution, and every 30 days thereafter, make the following findings by majority vote: The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and any of the following conditions exist: (1) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person or (2) state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing; and
WHEREAS, the City reserves the option to hold in-person meetings, consistent with local health officer directives, or to continue a practice of remote meetings that still allow multiple options for public participation.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.
Section 2. Proclamation of Local Emergency. The City Council hereby proclaims that a local emergency exists throughout the City, and that the legislative body meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees due to the prevalence of COVID-19 in Merced County and the state, such that the City reserves the right to continue virtual meetings or conduct in-person meetings, consistent with local health guidance or duly issued orders.
Section 3. Remote Teleconference Meetings. The legislative body and its General Manager and designees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take all actions necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Resolution, including conducting open and public meetings in accordance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e), and other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.
Section 4. Effective Date of Resolution. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) October 30, 2021, or (ii) such time the City Council of Directors makes a subsequent finding by majority vote in accordance with Government Code section 54953, subdivision (e)(3), to extend the time during which the legislative bodies of the City may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953.

In order to comply with that requirement, the City has completed the Local Biennial Notice, a copy of which is attached to the proposed resolution as Exhibit A ATTACHMENTS:

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO
THE 2020 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAMCORONAVIRUS RESPONSE BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AGREEMENT (20-CDBG-CV2-3-00006)
September 6, 2022
Jennifer Riedeman, Finance Director
Vanessa Portillo, City Manager
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution Approving an amendment to the City of Livingston's CDBG-CV Business Assistance Program Agreement (20-CDBG-CV2-3-00006) and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary HCD documents, including an amendment to subrecipient agreement between Self-Help Enterprises and the City reflecting the activity amendments.
BACKGROUND
On February 8, 2021, the City submitted an application for the 2020 CDBG CV2-3 Grant in the amount of $200,000 to assist local business impacted by COVID-19 with recovery. On April 23, 2021, the City received authorization to incur cost and commenced assistance. Concurrently, the City also submitted an application for the 2020 CDBG CV2-3 Grant in the amount of $131,720 to assist local residence with rent, mortgage and utility payments and was granted authorization to incur cost starting June 20, 2021.
DISCUSSION
As of April 30, 2022, no business has been assisted under the City's Business Assistance program, despite ongoing marketing, $166,606.96 in remaining funds exist. Within this same time frame the City was able to provide rent, mortgage and/or utility assistance to 64 households in Livingston fully expending the $131 ,720 in funds awarded.
At this time additional demand exist to aid Livingston's households with rent, mortgage, and/or utilities; however, no other programs are available. There are no pending applications for business assistance, nor has there been any interest shown in the program since December 29, 2021. Therefore, staff recommends that the Business Assistance Program be amended to add the Subsistence Payments activity to ensure full expenditure of the grant prior to the expiration date November 1, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
While there is no direct cost associated with this amendment, the City's eligible residents will be able to access these funds to reduce their outstanding balance on their utility account.

Vanessa Portillo, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-_, establishing a City of Livingston Master Employee Salary Schedule confirming rates/ranges for all City of Livingston established positions, including the budget errata changes.
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 3, approved by the governor on April 4, 2016, amended Section I 182.12 of the State of California relating to wages. Section I 182.12(b) of the Labor Code was amended to read:
"(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the minimum wage for all industries shall not be less than the amounts set forth in this subdivision, except when the scheduled increases in paragraphs (1) and (2) are temporarily suspended under subdivision (d). (1) For any employer who employs 26 or more employees, the minimum wage shall be as follows:
(A) From January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017, inclusive,--ten dollars and fifty cents ($10.50) per hour.
(BJ From January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018, inclusive,--eleven dollars ($11) per hour. (C) From January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019, inclusive,--twelve dollars ($12) per hour. (D) From January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, inclusive,--thirteen dollars ($13) per hour. (E) From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, inclusive,--fourteen dollars ($14) per hour. (F) From January 1, 2022, and until acijusted by subdivision (c)--fifteen dollars ($15) per hour." The City Council approves all salary schedules which include classification titles and pay rates/ranges at the time a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for each bargaining unit is approved; when updates to the Employment and Benefit Policies for Unrepresented Employees are approved; or when specific wage and classification title adjustments are needed. Also, in order to confirm that the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) will appropriately consider City of Livingston employee compensation earnable when calculating retirement benefits, the City of Livingston's Salary Schedule is required to be formally adopted by the City Council in a public meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Livingston's Salary Schedule will now reflect the implemented minimum wage increase effective January I, 2022. In addition, the proposed Salary Schedule includes previously approved MOU increases of3% effective July I, 2022.

STAFF REPORT
Resolution Approving the Addition of a Senior Administrative Services Manager Job Description and Corresponding Salary Schedule, and Revisions to Existing Job Descriptions due to Technical Adjustments from the Budget Adoption and Other Miscellaneous Updates.
September 6, 2022
Jennifer Riedeman, Finance Director
Vanessa Portillo, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2022-_, approving the addition of a Senior Administrative Services Manager job description and corresponding salary schedule, as well as revisions to existing Job Descriptions due to Technical Adjustments from the Budget adoption and other miscellaneous updates.
BACKGROUND:
Periodically, it is customary for an agency to review job classification specifications in relation to the duties and responsibilities of the positions performing the work, the tools and equipment necessary to perform the duties, and the regulatory, legislative, and educational requirements to perform successfully in the position.
As there are significant changes that affect the expectations or requirements for performing the work, the work performed, or how services are delivered, ii is the responsibility of the agency to update the job classification specifications related to the position performing the work.
Classification specifications provide support for recruitment, promotion, training, evaluation performance, career path development, and compensation comparisons.
In addition, to assist in addressing retention challenges and succession planning for all levels of staffing in the organization, the salary and position structure should be reviewed to establish differentials between classifications to compensate for differences between classifications such as span of control, supervision, and specialized education and certification requirements.
DISCUSSION:
During the budget process, a series of positions and job descriptions were reviewed to better align the tasks with the position, provide flexibility in the reporting structure, ensure that duties are segregated and minimize any inherent risks, and to establish clear paths for succession within key positions. Revised job descriptions can be summarized as follows:
• New Positions
• Technical Adjustments
o Approved through the Budget Process
o Miscellaneous Revisions
1 New Positions
Through the years, legislature from California Department of Justice titled California Incident Based Reporting System (CIBRS), as well as the subsequent transition of California to the Federal Bureau of Investigations National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) have reshaped the administrative structure of the Police Department. These new and permanent requirements have significantly increased the tasks and responsibilities to the administrative staff. In addition, new reporting tasks are essential for the Police Department to integrate with Federal reporting agencies as well as qualify for funding when available. Although, new legislative requirements have been absorbed through the years by existing staff due to staffing changes and/or shortages, this model is not sustainable long term. As a succession planning strategy, Staff recommends to add one (1) Senior Administrative Services Manager to assist with transferring of institutional knowledge, promote retention of existing talent, provide a career path for the Administrative Services staffing, train staff on new mandates, as well as create Operating Procedures for future training and development. The proposed salary schedule is in line with the Senior Officers within the Management and Confidential Unit, as follows:
Position A B C D E
Senior Administrative Services Hourly 43.86 46.06 48.36 50.78 53.32 Manaoer
Additional salaries for the Senior Administrative Services Manager will be offset by existing salary savings in the Police Department from existing vacancies through one (1) vacant Lieutenant; and one (1) vacant Code Compliance Officer.
Technical Adjustments - Positions approved through the Budget Process Through the Budget process approved by Council on August 11, 2022, with Resolution 2022-47, the following positions were approved and revised Job Descriptions need to be adopted by Council:
• Police Lieutenant
• Code Compliance Officer
• Custodian 1-11
• Maintenance Worker 1-11
Technical Adjustments - Miscellaneous Revisions to existing Job Descriptions In addition, Staff has identified minor changes to Job Descriptions for the following positions in order to better align and support current operations, fulfill segregation of duty requirements, as well as to provide flexibility for future growth, summarized as follows:
• Account Clerk: Change Supervisor from Senior Accountant to Assigned Staff • Account Clerk II: Change Supervisor from Accountant II to Assigned Staff • Accounting Technician: Change Supervisor from Finance Director/Assistant City Manager to Assigned Staff
• Accountant I: Change the following
o Update Supervisor from Director of Finance/City Manager to Assigned Staff o Add the following to Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Perform a variety of specialized and complex payroll accounting duties to assure designated employees are paid in an accurate and timely manner; process organizational payroll; receive and audit time cards for designated employees; calculate and input salary adjustments and overtime pay as needed; verify proper authorizing signatures, coding, calculations and accuracy of payroll adjustments; investigate and resolve 2 retroactive and other payroll discrepancies; process, evaluate and assure accuracy of a variety of payroll-related forms and applications; process tax payments, quarterlies, W2's and related payroll documents.

• Senior Account Clerk: Change Supervisor from Senior Accountant to Assigned Staff Resolution No. 2022-_, has been prepared to implement the minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2022, and to increase the Lifeguard classification to stay competitive within the surrounding agencies.

1 STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing – Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2022-01 – Duplex at 846 6th Street, a request to construct a 2,270 square foot residential structural consisting of two new attached dwelling units on property located at 846 6th Street.
MEETING DATE: September 6, 2022
PREPARED BY: Miguel Galvez, Contract City Planner
REVIEWED BY: Vanessa Portillo, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2022- __, approving Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2022-01 for the development of two attached housing units on property at 846 6th Street (APN No.: 024-181-014).
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The applicant and owner, Renee Moreno is proposing to develop a single-story, 2,270 square foot duplex structure with two separate parking areas. One two-space parking area will be accessed from 6th Street. A second two-space parking area will be accessed from the alley, located to the west of the site. Each dwelling unit will consist of three (3) bedrooms and two (2) baths. Access to the off-street paved parking spaces will be from 6th Street and from the alley. Air conditioning units are proposed to be located along the south of the proposed building on the ground to obscure their view from the street. On site storm water runoff will be channeled to the proposed landscaped areas located on site. A wood board fence exists along the southern property line. Fencing is not proposed along the northern property line.
The subject property is presently vacant. Full street improvements have been installed along 6th Street and the adjacent alley has been recently graded and paved. A paved space for trash can totes is provided along the side of each dwelling unit. A landscape plan will be submitted with the application of the building permit. The landscaping will include climate adaptive plants and a low water use irrigation system.
The subject site is generally located on the west side of 6th Street, north of F Street at 846 6th Street. The project is located in the R-2, Medium Density Zoning District and has a General Plan designation of MD, Medium Density Residential.
ANALYSIS:
The property was previously developed with a single family dwelling, but the dwelling was recently demolished. The project site is one of a remaining vacant residential properties in this neighborhood.
Surrounding properties are also zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. To the north, there is an existing duplex owned by the applicant. The proposed project will generally mirror this existing duplex. To the west is an alley, single-family dwellings and a duplex, across the alley. A single family dwelling exists to the south. Single family dwellings are developed to the east, across 6th Street. 2 The proposal meets the City’s Zoning Development Standards with respect to setbacks, height, lot coverage, off-street parking, private and common open space. The size, construction style, elevations, and colors are consistent with the existing buildings in the neighborhood.
Staff referred this proposal to various departments and agencies for comment and possible conditions for approval. The City Engineer responded with a memo dated July 26, 2022, with a list of recommended Conditions of Approval for the Site Plan and Design Review application. This memo is included in the attached Resolution as Conditions of Approval. The vast majority of these Engineering Conditions are standard Conditions of Approval required by City and State rules and regulations.
Also required by the City, consistent with all other new development, are Conditions requiring payment of applicable development impact fees and annexation to Capital Facilities District CFD 2017-01 (Urban Services).
ISSUES
Staff did not identify any design or development issues with this development proposal.
GENERAL PLAN
The 1999 Livingston General Plan included the following Residential Land Use Objectives.
A. Designate and allow for the development of a wide range of residential housing types in the City including housing for middle and upper income families to meet the needs of all Livingston residents.
Policy 1. b. Medium Density Residential contemplates a range of 7.6 to 11.9 units per gross acre.
The subject site is proposing two units at a density of 10.9 units per gross acre, which is with the development range of the Medium Density Residential Designation.
B. Promote stable, high quality residential standards. The project will serve to develop a vacant lot in an area that is planned for medium density residential development densities.
Policy 2. b. Development standards for interface between multi-family and residential and single family residential.
Multi-family parking areas are required to have a landscaped setback of 10 feet when adjacent to next to R-1, single family zoned properties. As the project’s proposed parking abuts property also zoned R-2, there is no setback required for the parking lot.
Policy 4 Site development techniques should be encouraged which ensure a mix of housing types throughout the community. The neighborhood is zoned R-2 and is developed with a mixture of single family and multi-family dwellings. The proposed three-bedroom units will help to provide housing opportunities to households that are unable to obtain homeownership opportunities.
The 2016 adopted Housing Element identified the following Housing goals and Policies.
C. Goal 1: Housing and Economic Diversity. Promote the development of a balanced residential environment, including a range of housing types, with access to employment opportunities, community facilities, and adequate services to meet the needs of residents and persons working in Livingston.
3 Policies:
1.1) Encourage the development of a variety of housing types at various prices in order to maintain a diverse housing stock for residents of all income levels.
1.6) Maintain an adequate housing stock to accommodate increases in the work force.
1.7) Encourage both commercial and residential development in Livingston in order to maintain a balance between jobs and housing.
The project will result in the development of two new market rate dwelling units that will located near the City’s downtown area.
D. Goal 3: Encourage the development of housing to meet the needs of lower- and moderate-income households, particularly those with special needs.
Policies:
3.2) Provide technical assistance to developers of affordable housing for lower-income or special needs populations.
City staff provided guidance in the design of the project to ensure compliance with development standards for a project that will serve needs of lower- and moderate-income households.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property is zoned R-2 and, as such, the Livingston Municipal Code requires all new construction to undergo Site Plan and Design Review consideration by the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for final consideration.
A Site Plan and Design Review application allows the City to evaluate the development proposal to assure compatibility, harmony in appearance with the neighborhood, reduction of any negative impacts, and orderly development of the area. The duplex will incorporate entrance porches, a composition shingle roof, and stucco walls with an exterior decorative wall banding. The project site will also incorporate landscaping areas in front of the units.
Staff is of the opinion that the design, height, materials, and development intensity is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.
The subject property is small, but its proposed design meets the development standards of the R-2 zoning district. Given the City’s strong need for more rental units, staff is very supportive of this request and recommends Council approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Project is eligible for a Categorical Exemption under two classifications of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines: Class 3, Section 15303 (b) - New Construction of no more than four new dwellings per site. Class 32 - Infill development Section 15332. This Exemption applies to Projects within the City Limits that are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, provided all utilities and City services are available, no more than 5 acres in size on land with no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The project site is within a developed urban location and complies with all of the above listed conditions to qualify for this categorical exemption. This development would also have no significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air, or water quality. A Notice of Exemption citing these categorical exemptions is recommended.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION AND RECOMMENDATION:
4 The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on August 9, 2022, to consider Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2022-01 – Duplex at 846 6th Street. Although this item was advertised as a public hearing, it was considered as a consent item and would be removed from consent should any of the Planning Commissioners or members of the audience present remove it from consent to address any questions or comments. As there were no comments or questions on this agenda item, the Planning Commission on a vote of 4-0, approved Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-05, recommending approval of this application to the City Council, subject to Findings and Conditions of Approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project would increase property taxes and assessments to the City. Staff costs associated with processing the Site Plan and Design Review application is subject to reimbursement from the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Planning Commission are of the opinion that the proposed use is consistent with City regulations and standards, which would also increase rental housing that is affordable to working families.
This is in compliance with the goals and policies of the City’s 2016 Housing Element. The recommended conditions of approval allow staff to administratively review and approve the landscaping and irrigation plans as these elements are detailed during the construction phase of the Project. Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 2022-__, approving the Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2022- 01, based on the Findings and Conditions of Approval discussed in the staff report and reflected in the attached resolution.

3. Adopt City Council Resolution 2022-__, approving Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2020-02 - SGM Moonglo Truck Stop Complex for the development of a Truck Travel Center that includes five quick serve restaurants, three with a drive-thru, fuel dispensing stations for passenger vehicles, a fuel dispensing station for tractor trailers and associated travel center facilities, at the southeast corner of Campbell Boulevard and Hammatt Avenue. (APN Nos. 023-070-012, 023-070-013, 023-070-014, and 023-060-010) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The owner and applicant propose to develop approximately 18.9 acres of currently vacant property as a travel center that would serve trucks (tractor trailers) and passenger vehicles, primarily those traveling on nearby State Route (SR) 99. The applicant proposes to develop a range of truck and passenger car traveloriented commercial uses on the site in two phases, see Attachment 7a Project Site Plan; Attachment 7bProject Phasing map; Attachment 7e- Project Landscape Plan; and Attachment 7c and 7d- Project Elevations and Floor Plans.
Phase 1 proposes development of a 13,030 square-foot travel center building with a convenience store and two quick-serve restaurants, along with restrooms and showers for travelers and fueling stations for passenger vehicles. A passenger vehicle fuel dispensing area is proposed which would be covered by a 9,720 square foot canopy. Four above ground storage tanks would be installed south of the main building, near the State Route (SR) 99 right-of-way. The proposed site plan would include parking for passenger vehicles and tractor trailers, along with parking for recreational vehicles. A drive-thru lane would be provided for one of the quick serve restaurants in the travel center building.
In addition, in the area east of the travel center building, a truck service establishment would consist of a diesel fuel dispensing area, a Certified Automated Truck (CAT) scale, a 7,200 square foot building that would accommodate both a truck tire center and future quick-serve restaurant (in proposed phase 2).
The remainder of the Phase 1 area would include circulation aisles and parking, including drive-thru aisles for the automobile and truck fueling areas. A total of 86 parking spaces would be available for passenger vehicles in the travel center area, along with four spaces for disabled persons. Ten additional spaces would be provided for recreational vehicles, along with a dump station along the southern boundary of the project site for disposal of sewage. A total of 127 parking spaces would be available for commercial trucks in the truck service area. Site access would be provided by five proposed driveways off Campbell Boulevard.
Three of these driveways would provide access to the truck service area, while the remaining driveway would provide access for passenger vehicles.
Other features of Phase 1 include development of a fenced dog park and a recreational vehicle dump station, locate south of the travel center building.
The project would include frontage improvements along Campbell Boulevard in accordance with City standards for a four-lane Minor Arterial. This would include two vehicle lanes approximately 12 feet in width in each direction, for a total of four lanes. It would also include a median left-turn lane approximately 16 feet in width, and two bike lanes approximately eight feet in width, one on each side of the road.
Approximately 15 feet on each side of the improved Campbell Boulevard would be used for pedestrian pathways and landscaping.
The applicant also proposes the relocation of an existing storm water detention basin from the western portion of the project site to the southeastern corner of the property. The relocated basin will be sized as approved by the City Engineer to replace the capacity of the existing storm water detention basin and to accommodate additional runoff generated by the proposed development of the project site.
The project would install new water and wastewater lines connecting to existing City facilities. The project would connect to the City’s water system in two places (an existing line beneath adjacent Hammatt Avenue and the other at an existing line beneath Dwight Way to the east). The project’s wastewater line would connect to an existing main beneath Dwight Way to the east.
Phase 2 of the project proposes the development of two new 2,800 square-foot quick-serve restaurants, with associated circulation and parking in the western portion of the site. A third quick-serve restaurant would be located in the eastern portion of the site in the tire center building. Each quick-serve restaurant west of the travel center building would have a drive-thru lane and required circulation and parking, including 40 passenger vehicle parking spaces, 6 compact automobile spaces, and 2 spaces for disabled persons. An additional driveway off Campbell Boulevard would be installed to provide access to this portion of the development.
The project would be landscaped in accordance with City standards. A preliminary landscaping plan for the project site is shown on Attachment 7e, Figures L.0.1, L.0.2, and L.0.3. Street trees would be planted along the Campbell Boulevard site frontage, and an evergreen hedge with large-spreading trees would be installed along the SR 99 frontage. Other trees and shrubs would be installed throughout the development. A lawn would be installed in the dog park area. The landscape and associated irrigation system would be designed to comply with the City's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Although the Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR) application was made for the whole site, the applicant only submitted floor plan and elevations for the travel center building, which includes two quick serve restaurants. A Site Plan and Design Review application that includes floor plans and elevations for the proposed tire center and quick serve restaurant will be submitted separately. Moreover, the applicant is considering adding a truck wash facility as part of the truck tire center building. This proposal will be considered under a separate SPDR application.
ANALYSIS:
Except for the storm water detention basin, the property has the appropriate General Plan and zoning designation for the proposed land uses. The proposed land uses under phase 1, as proposed and conditioned, meet the development standards in the City’s Zoning and Development Codes. The proposed development meets the height, setback, and lot coverage requirements. The parking required for gas stations is 1 per employee (5 at maximum shift) and for a restaurant is 1 space for every 50 square feet of net floor area for dining and waiting. The final net dining area of each land use will be confirmed at time of the building permit application.
According to the floor plans, there is 1,250 gross sq. sf. of dining/waiting area for the phase 1 quick-serve restaurant and 1,400 gross sq. ft. of dining/waiting area for the full-service restaurant. This calculates to a total of 58 spaces required (this figure is likely high because the square footage of drink stations, waiter stations, garbage– tray return areas, and other food prep and self-service areas are not known and are not deducted to achieve a net dining/waiting area). As noted in the Project description above, the development provides 77 parking and vehicle holding spaces complying with the City’s parking requirements for both fueling stations and restaurants.
The preliminary landscape plan submitted shows a variety of trees, shrubs, and ground cover to be used for this Project. City staff will review the final plant materials and will verify that the proposed plants are drought tolerant and consistent with the types of plants the City has allowed and are compliant with the Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance.
A project signage plan has not been submitted. A Condition of Approval will be included to allow staff to administratively approve proposed signage in conformance with the City Sign Regulations (LMC Title 4 Building Regulations, Chapter 2 Sign Regulations.
Exterior lighting is not addressed in the application, leading staff to recommend a Condition of Approval to require lighting to be shielded and focused on the building and parking areas. The City has a Design Guide applicable to all new development. Staff has compared the proposed new building’s design and colors, as described above, with the Design Guide. The overall design of the new building appears to be consistent with the Design Guide in terms of being compatible in scale with the surrounding area and providing visual interest.
Staff referred this proposal to various departments and agencies for comment and identification of possible Conditions of Approval. The City Engineer responded and included a revised memo dated August 2, 2022, with a list of recommended Conditions of Approval for the SPDR and CUP applications. This memo is included in the attached City Council Resolutions of Approvals as Conditions of Approval. The vast majority of the Engineering Conditions of Approval are standard conditions required by City and State regulations.
Also required by the City, consistent with all other new development, are Conditions requiring payment of applicable development impact.
ISSUES
Staff has evaluated the proposed project and has identified the following issues. None of issues warrant opposition to the project, but rather clarify procedural requirements that are required.
1. Public Facility Land Use Designations. The western portion of the project site is zoned PF, Public or Quasi-public Facility and it also has a General Plan designation of PF, Public Facility.
Commercial uses are not permitted in the PF zoning district. Phase 2 of the project proposes two quick serve restaurants, which are prohibited in the PF zoning district. Rezoning this area from PF to a C-3 zoning district will need to be completed prior to development of any commercial land uses on this portion of the project. The action will also require a general plan amendment, amending the General Plan Land Use Map for the project site from PF, Public Facility to SC, Service Commercial or NC, Neighborhood Commercial. Neither of these actions were included in the current project request or addressed in the environmental assessment for this project. A Condition of Approval is recommended to require completion of a rezoning and general plan amendment from PF to C-3 and Highway Commercial respectively before development of Phase 2 of the project can commence.
2. Storm Water Master Planning. The subject property currently contains a storm water basin that collects storm water runoff from adjacent streets as well as from the current and adjacent properties.
A regional or neighborhood master plan for identifying a comprehensive storm water collection and discharge system for this area has not been developed. The lack of a comprehensive plan or temporary plan for addressing storm water run-off to serve this area results in each property developing either an individual storm water collection retention basin or connecting into a smaller storm water detention basin. Without an adopted Storm Water Master Plan adopted, individual development projects are required to devote portions of their property address storm water runoff.
A regional storm water collection system enables properties to address local flooding on a collective basis, while also increasing the amount of land that can be developed. There was an opportunity to develop and adopt a regional storm drain basin to serve this neighborhood. Staff met with applicant shortly after the Planning Commission Meeting and due to timing and development constraints, will allow the applicant to proceed forward with the proposed storm drainage design. A storm water connection point can be designed into the project, as approved by the City Engineer, to accommodate connection to a future regional storm water collection system.
The property’s existing storm water basin is proposed to be filled-in with soil and a new storm water basin constructed on the eastern portion of the property. The new basin is expected to continue to serve the adjacent streets and properties as well as the subject site. Although the storm water basin will serve both public and private areas, a new public easement for basin purposes will be required before the existing basin and easement can be abandoned. The design of the proposed basin will require incorporation of a service access road to maintain the bottom of the basin. A Condition of Approval will be included to require the development and dedication of a public easement for the new storm water basin will be included. The property owner will be responsible for dedicating a new public utility easement for access and maintenance of the new basin.
3. Signage Plan. The development application did not include a signage plan for the proposed project.
The City’s Sign Regulations for commercial zone districts (Livingston Municipal Code (LMC) Section 4-2-9-2) as well as freeway oriented signs (LMC 4-2-10) C-3 shall apply to this development. A Condition of Approval is included to require the developer to submit a sign plan for the site. Signage to be installed in compliance with LMC 4-2 Sign Regulations as approved by the Planning Director.
4. Lot Line Adjustment. The applicant applied for and received approval of a lot line adjustment application. On November 10, 2020, the Minor Subdivision Committee of the City of Livingston approved Lot Line Adjustment Application No. LLA 2020-02. The LLA reconfigured three parcel boundaries, one of which was bisected by Campbell Boulevard. The LLA would result in reconfiguring the lots so they would not extend over Campbell Boulevard. The LLA has not been recorded. A Condition of Approval will be included to require that LLA No. 2020-02 be perfected before a building permit can be issued for any development of the proposed project.
4. Fire Suppression. The project was routed to Cal Fire, but no comments have been received to date.
California Building and Fire Code establishes minimum standards for the protection of life and property by increasing the ability of a building to resist the intrusion of flame and burning embers.
Building permits required as a result of the proposed project will be reviewed by the City’s Building Permits staff and contracted Fire Prevention staff to ensure all State of California Building and Fire Code requirements are met prior to construction. The Project will be conditioned to meet all current fire and building code, including the provision of emergency personnel access and fuel spillage containment protocols as approved by the City Fire Chief.
Installation of an OptiCom system will be conditioned and addressed on a proportionate, fair share basis in the proposed Conditions of Approval. The staffing, equipment, and funding needs of the Fire Department are addressed in the proposed Condition of Approval requiring the Project to annex into Community Facilities District (CFD) 2017-01 (Public Services).
6. Water Line Improvements. The applicant proposes to extend City water lines along Campbell Avenue to serve the project site. The City Engineer is requiring that the water lines be extended and connected to the existing water line on Dwight Avenue. The looped water system helps to prevent stagnation of water at a dead end as well as helps maintain a uniform water pressure throughout the City’s water system. A Condition of Approval is included to fulfill this requirement.
The applicant initially expressed concern about the timing and cost associated with extending the City water line to achieve a looped system, but has since agreed to this requirement.
7. Traffic Impacts and Mitigation Measures. A transportation impact analysis for the Moonglo Truck Stop project was prepared by KD Anderson and Associates and submitted on July 25, 2020. The adequacy of site access has been evaluated to ensure safe traffic operation under long term conditions and to address improvements found to be needed at the adjoining Hammatt Avenue / Campbell Blvd intersection. On May 23, 2022, Caltrans accepted the traffic impact analysis and the proposed street improvements for this project.
Truck Access. The project will be required by the City to make frontage improvements along Campbell Blvd that are consistent with the long term plan for this road (i.e. 5-lane section), and the project’s three truck driveways are very broad. Within that context, the final layout of the site driveway will need to confirm that STAA* truck turns can be accommodated without encroaching into opposing travel lanes.
[* Information Note: The Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) establishes a national network of highways designated for use by large trucks. On these highways, federal width and length limits apply.
Trucks that are within the width and length limits specified in the Act are now referred to as "STAA” trucks.] Access at Industrial Drive. The project proposes automobile access at a driveway on Campbell Blvd at a location opposite Industrial Drive. By aligning the driveway and intersection potential conflicts between opposing vehicles can be minimized. Left turn lanes will need to be created on Campbell Blvd as part of project frontage improvements. The final design of intersection improvements will need to accommodate the concurrent turning requirements of trucks and RV’s accessing Industrial Drive and entering and exiting the project site.
Access near Hammatt Avenue. The western driveway is located about 300 feet from Hammatt Avenue (centerline to centerline) and roughly 210 feet of storage will exist in the left turn lane between the driveway and the crosswalk anticipated at Campbell Blvd. the queuing analysis indicates that under mitigated conditions with other approved projects the 95th percentile queues extending back from Hammatt Avenue could reach 320 feet, including vehicles that might have turned left from the driveway. Under these conditions, the City will prohibit left turns at the western driveway. The Project will be conditioned to have the westernmost driveway on Campbell Boulevard, which will be developed in Phase 2, to be right-in and right-out only.
Identified transportation impacts will be addressed by the following Mitigation Measures:
TRANS-1: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fairshare costs of a traffic signal at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection.
TRANS-2: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fairshare costs of traffic signals or roundabouts at the Hammatt Avenue intersections with the SR 99 northbound ramps and the SR 99 southbound ramps. The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fair-share costs of preparing a preliminary Intersection Control Evaluation report to provide a screening assessment of the feasibility of a roundabout or traffic signal at the SR 99 ramps intersections TRANS-3: The project applicant or successors in interest shall be required to pay fairshare costs of the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane, approximately 200 feet in length, on Campbell Boulevard with right turn overlap phases on the northbound-toeastbound and eastbound to-southbound movements.
TRANS-4: The project applicant or successors in interest shall install frontage improvements along Campbell Boulevard, including sidewalks, during Phase 1 development of the project site (see Mitigation Measure TRANS-1). Standard pedestrian crossing controls and ADA accessible ramps shall be included in the proposed signalization of the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection, and the project shall contribute its fair share to the cost of those features.
TRANS-5: Improvements to the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection shall be designed to accommodate STAA trucks, and the project shall contribute its fair share to the cost of those features. Project access shall be designed to accommodate STAA trucks.
Phase 1 shall contribute its fair share to the cost of a Caltrans STAA route designation application to be completed by the City and shall contribute its fair share to the cost of improvements needed to accommodate STAA trucks.
Both Caltrans and the applicant have agreed to these mitigation measures. Caltrans has also approved a draft Signalization Plan for the Hammatt Avenue and Campbell Boulevard intersection, see Attachment 9 .
GENERAL PLAN
The property has three General Plan Designations: PF – Public Facility, SC Service Commercial and HC, Highway Commercial. The 1999 Livingston General Plan includes the follows Commercial Land Use Objectives and Policies.
A. Ensure the provision of adequate commercial shopping opportunities and office space locations to meet anticipated needs.
Policy 1. Establish the following commercial land use designations:
Policy 1.d Service Commercial designates land for commercial activities in which the function performed is of equal or greater importance than the product traded. The Highway Commercial subcategory allows Service Commercial uses, which due to space requirements, the proximity to the highway, or the distinctive nature of their operation, are not compatible with or not usually in other commercial designations.
Policy 2. Neighborhood Commercial sites should be located at or near the intersection of Collector and Arterial streets, with a minimum of overlap with other existing or planned neighborhood commercial uses. Only one neighborhood commercial development may be permitted at any one intersection. Such developments should also be directly accessible form adjacent residential developments.
Policy 3. Community Commercial uses should be located along major traffic ways in consolidated centers that utilize common access and parking for commercial uses. Strip commercial uses are to be discouraged. Adequate pedestrian links to residential areas shall be required.
The C-3 Highway Service Commercial district correlates to and fulfills the Service Commercial and Highway Commercial General Plan designations.
However, the C-3 Highway Service commercial does not correlate with the General Plan designation of Public Facility and an amendment to the City’s General Plan Land Use Map will be necessary to allow the proposed uses under Phase 2 to be developed. A Condition of Approval is included to require a rezoning and General Plan Amendment from PF Public Facility to HC, Highway Commercial to be completed before development can be approved on Phase 2.
Hammatt Avenue and Campbell Boulevard are designated as Arterial Streets in the Circulation Element of the Livingston General Plan. The Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan includes a Bikeway Plan that designates a bikeway along Campbell Boulevard from Hammatt Avenue to Winton Parkway.
Campbell Boulevard, between Winton Parkway and the eastern City Limits boundary is designated as a Truck Route. Hammatt Avenue, between Walnut Avenue and State Highway 99 is also designated as a Truck Route.
“The City of Livingston designates Service Level ‘C’ as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual (published by the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council) as minimum desirable service level at which arterial streets and collector streets should operate. All new facilities in these categories shall be designed to operate at this level or better for a period of at least 20 years following their construction.”
Unlike City intersections, Caltrans considers Level of Service (LOS) D and acceptable LOS for ramp junctions. Moreover, SB 743 seeks to balance traffic impacts and mitigation with statewide GHG emission reduction goals, by eliminating street and intersection capacity as the principal means for evaluating transportation impacts. California Code of Regulations Section 15064.3 states that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is the preferred method for evaluating is preferred. A qualitative analysis may be used if existing models or methods are not available to estimate VMT for the project being considered.
With Phase 1, the addition of project generated automobile and truck traffic onto the adjacent street system would result in two intersection operating with delays that are indicative of LOD F, and one intersection operating at LOS D. Peak hour traffic signal warrants will be satisfied both time periods at the Hammatt Avenue/Campbell Boulevard intersection and during one time period at the two SR 99 ramp intersections.
This is an important impact, but no longer a significant effect under CEQA.
Provisions for transportation system improvements presented as mitigation measures would ensure that traffic conditions would operate to City standards at the deficient intersections, reducing impacts to an acceptable level consistent with the Livingston General Plan as shown in the traffic study. All mitigation measures identified in the project’s initial study and Mitigated Negative Declaration will be incorporated as Conditions of Approval for development of the project.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property is zoned C-3 and PF, see Attachment 6 - Zoning Map, as such, the Livingston Municipal Code requires all new construction to undergo Site Plan and Design Review consideration by the Planning Commission for a recommendation to the City Council for final consideration. In addition, any proposed restaurant with a drive-in and any gasoline dispensing station requires approval of a Use Permit application.
Since the applicant is proposing five quick serve restaurants, three of which are proposed with a drive thru restaurant component as they propose to serve food and drinks from a pass through opening to customers in their vehicle or delivery of food to a diner remaining in their vehicle, approval of a Conditional Use Permit is required.
A Site Plan and Design Review application allows the City to evaluate the development proposal to assure compatibility, harmony in appearance with the neighborhood, reduction of any negative impacts, and orderly development of the area.
Conditional Use Permits are used primarily to review the location, site development or conduct of certain land uses that generally have a distinct impact on the area in which they are located, and/or are capable of creating special problems for bordering properties unless given special attention. Conditional use permits may be granted by the Planning Commission, but when considered with other land use entitlement applications are also considered by the City Council. Conditional use permits require a determination of findings and conditions by the Planning Commission.
In considering an application for conditional use permits, the following criteria shall be considered:
1. A conditional use permit shall not be granted for the use of unreasonably incompatible with permitted uses in the area considering damage and nuisance from light sources, noise, smoke, odor, dust, or vibration, hazard resulting from unusual volume or character of traffic, or congestion of a large number of persons or vehicles.
2. A conditional use permit must be considered in relationship to its effect on the general plan for the area in which it is to be located. The condition use permit applied for must be in conformance with the general plan land use map and policies.
3. Findings required for approval shall include:
(a) The site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use and all yards spaces, walls and fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and other features required by the applicable zoning district.
(b) The site for the proposed use is served by streets and highways adequate to carry the quantity and kind of traffic generated by the proposed use.
(c) Public facilities are currently adequate to serve the proposed use or improvements are included in an approved capital improvement plan or otherwise will be complete prior to the issuance of building permits.
(d) The proposed development is consistent with the general plan. If granted, it should be made subject to those conditions necessary to preserve the general welfare, not the individual welfare of any particular applicant.
As discussed above, commercial uses are not permitted in the PF zoning district. A Condition of Approval is included to require a rezoning of the project’s area currently zoned as PF to C-3, Highway Service Commercial to be completed before any development on that portion of the project site can be approved for development.
Dedication of street right-of-way and improvements for the south-half of the Campbell Boulevard will be required to meet the 4-lane Minor Arterial street classification (110-foot wide right-of-way divided, with median/left turn lane). A ten foot wide public utility will be required along the property outside of the ultimate right-of-way dedication.
A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted with the entitlement application. The final landscaping plan and irrigation system plan will have to be reviewed by a licensed Landscape Architect to ensure compliance with the City’s Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance. A Condition of Approval is included to meet this requirement.
All new development creates a need for increased public services. To address the increased demand on public services, the project will be required to annex to the City of Livingston Community Facilities District (CFD) No 2017-01 (Public Services). A Condition of Approval is included to meet this requirement.
Annexation to the CFD is handled through a separate process outside of the land use entitlement application.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed project is a “project” as defined by CEQA and is not exempt from CEQA consideration. The applicant retained the services of an environmental consultant to address CEQA requirements, which are administered by the City. The consultant prepared an Initial Study (IS) and a proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). These documents were reviewed in detail by City staff and, after City editing, represent the independent analysis and judgment of the City. These documents were circulated to various City departments, other agencies (including CalTrans) and organizations and was subsequently made available for public review and comment for 30 days starting December 20, 2020, through January 10, 2021.
All environmentally related comments received can be mitigated through corrections/changes to the Document or the imposition of Conditions of Approval. Accordingly, staff has prepared a Resolution which adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and incorporates all the proposed Mitigation Measures into the project. The City has also prepared a Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan which summarizes all potential impacts of the project and the associated mitigation measures. The Mitigation Monitoring /Reporting Plan also identifies who is responsible for implementing the mitigation measure and who does the follow up with monitoring/reporting, see Attachment 9, Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program.
The Initial Study considered the project’s potential for significant environmental effects in the following subject areas:
Aesthetics
Agricultural Resources
Air Quality
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources
Energy
Geology and Soils
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Hazards and Hazardous
Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality
Land Use and Planning
Mineral Resources
Noise
Population and Housing
Public Services
Recreation
Transportation/Traffic
Tribal Cultural Resources
Utilities and Service Systems
Wildfire
Mandatory Findings of
Significance
8 The Initial Study concluded that the project would have significant environmental effects, but recommended mitigation measures would reduce all these effects to a level that would be less than significant. As a result, the City has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and notified the public of the City’s intent to adopt the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The applicant has accepted all the recommended mitigation measures.
Table 1-1 of the Initial Study includes a summary of environmental impacts and mitigation measures. A copy of Table 1-1 is included as Attachment 8, Table 1-1 Summary of Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures. Briefly, mitigation measures were identified for potential impacts on Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hydrology and Water Quality, Transportation/Traffic, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Mandatory Findings of Significance. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this CEQA document is included as Attachment 9.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on August 9, 2022, to consider the proposal and on a vote of 3-0 approved three resolutions with a recommendation to the City Council to (1) adopt an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, with a Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program, (2) approve Conditional Use Permit Application No. 2020-02 and (3) approve Site Plan and Design Review Application No. 2020-02. for the Moonglo Project.
The applicant and his representatives were present at the Planning Commission meeting. They responded to questions and voiced agreement with the staff recommendation and conditions of approval. No other members from the public spoke for support or opposition of the project during the Public Hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project would increase property taxes and assessments to the City. Staff costs associated with processing the Site Plan and Design Review application is subject to reimbursement from the applicant.

MITIGATION MONITORING/REPORTING PROGRAM
FOR THE
LIVINGSTON TRUCK STOP COMPLEX
Livingston, CA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Livingston California (City) is considering adoption of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for and approval of the Livingston Truck Stop Complex (the "project"). This document is the accompanying Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (MMRP) for the project, which will be adopted by the City in conjunction with the IS/MND and consideration of the proposed project. The primary source document for the MMRP is the Final IS/MND, a separate document.
1.1 THE PROJECT
The project proposes to develop approximately 18.9 acres of currently vacant property as a travel center that would serve trucks and passenger vehicles, primarily those traveling on nearby State Route (SR) 99. The project would initially construct a travel center building that includes a convenience store and a quick-serve restaurant and a second building that would house a tire center and space for another quick-serve restaurant. Nine fuel dispensers serving trucks and ten fuel dispensers serving passenger vehicles would be installed, each dispenser with two pumps. Subsequent development would add three quick-serve restaurants with associated parking. A storm drainage retention basin would be constructed at the eastern end of the project site. The project would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and site plan and design review approvals.
1.2 CEQA REQUIREMENTS REGARDING MITIGATION
MONITORING AND REPORTING
To ensure that mitigation measures included in an IS/MND are implemented, CEQA requires the adoption of a mitigation monitoring and/or reporting program (CEQA Guidelines Section 15074). The Guidelines require that the lead agency:
" . . . adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the project or made a condition of approval to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects."
These requirements are met by the Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program table for the project shown in Section 2.0 of this document. The table lists all of the potentially significant environmental effects of the project as identified in the Final IS/MND, Livingston Truck Stop Complex, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Page 1-1 identifies all of the mitigation measures needed to reduce these effects to a less than significant level, and identifies the entities that would be responsible for implementing and monitoring implementation of the mitigation measures.
Livingston Truck Stop Complex, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Page 1-2
2.0 MITIGATION MONITORING/REPORTING PLAN
The following table summarizes the significant environmental effects that could result from approval of the Livingston Truck Stop Complex, based on the analysis contained in the IS/MND. The table identifies 1) each significant effect, 2) how each significant effect would be mitigated, 3) the responsibility for implementation of the mitigation measures, and 4) the responsibility for monitoring of mitigation measures. The table follows the same sequence as the impact analysis in the IS/MND. Environmental issue areas where no significant effect would occur are also listed for the sake of continuity.
