There were the following speakers:

1. Voltaire Montemayor

2. Jonathan Brunson

3. Barbara Navarro

Mayor Tran closed the public hearing.

Vice Mayor Montano asked to include in the lottery preferences to select eligible households in the restaurant industry such as dishwashers and servers. Economic Development Director Andrade indicated that those households are already included under restaurant employees and those in the hotel and travel industry. Vice Mayor Montano asked staff to include outreach to the small business community.

Councilmember Chua emphasized the importance of knowing how long the City has to utilize the grant and the amounts per year. She also suggested adding nurses’ aides in senior daycare centers, security guards, EMTs, and pastors to the list of lottery preference categories. She asked for a way to create a “catch-all” for the positions the City hasn’t directly identified so they aren’t overlooked in the selection process. Economic Development Director Andrade responded that this is workforce housing so the positions discussed would be included. Assistant City Manager Kantak clarified that the program would be open to anyone that qualified based on the 30% AMI or below, these are the criteria to provide the weighting to receive assistance. She cautioned on broadening the categories too wide. Councilmember Chua reiterated the importance of the categories she discussed being included in the weighting process.

Councilmember Phan asked for a category to prioritize workforce housing for public safety

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve City Council Meeting Schedule for 2023 (Staff Contact: Suzanne Guzzetta, City Clerk, 408-586-3001)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Approve the 2023 Milpitas City Council meeting schedule, with any changes requested at the City Council meeting.

Background:

Pursuant to Milpitas Municipal Code Section I-1-2.01, the City Council shall hold its regular meetings on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Typically, in November of each year staff presents a proposed meeting schedule, noting any conflicts that may exist with regularly scheduled meeting dates for the City Council’s review and approval.

Discussion:

In the past the City Council has canceled both of the July regular City Council meetings for a summer recess.

Also, due to celebration of National Night Out on the first Tuesday in August, the City Council approved in 2019 the cancelation of the first meeting date in August each year. Staff recommends that a Special meeting be scheduled for August 8, 2023, to conduct the business that would have otherwise been done on August 1.

Staff is proposing one date in January for a Council Retreat, and three dates in the months of January, February, and May 2023 for Council study sessions on the Preliminary Budget, Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and Operating Budget. Moreover, staff is proposing additional Special Meeting dates in the months of February, September, October, and November as placeholders.

City staff has prepared the calendar for next year and requests that the Council confirm the City Council meeting schedule for 2023 for its regular bi-monthly Tuesday business meetings. The proposed 2023 schedule is included in the Council agenda packet.

Recommendation:

Approve the 2023 Milpitas City Council meeting schedule, with any changes requested at the City Council meeting.

Item Title: Consider the Recommendation from Mayor Tran for Appointment to City Commissions (Contact: Mayor Tran, 408-586-3029)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Receive the recommendation from Mayor Tran and approve appointments to City Commissions.

Background:

The City of Milpitas has 13 Commissions (including the Measure F Oversight Committee), with members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council. The Commissions advise the Milpitas elected officials on a variety of community interest and policy areas.

Any resident interested in serving on a City Commission must complete a Commission Application and submit the form to the City Clerk. Copies of the applications are provided to the Mayor for his consideration. Per Government Code 40605, in a general law city where the office of Mayor is an elective office, the Mayor with the approval of the City Council, shall make all appointments to boards, commissions, and committees unless otherwise specifically provided by statute.

Current Commissioners may seek to be reappointed upon the expiration of their current term, but reappointment to a new term is not automatic. Those Commissioners seeking reappointment must contact the City Clerk and the Mayor to convey their request. Re-appointment must be recommended by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council.

Analysis:

Mayor Tran is making the following recommendations for appointment:

Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Commission:

1. Promote Andrew Luu to Alternate #1 with an unexpired term ending June 2025.

2. Appoint Rosana Cacao as Alternate #2 with an expired term ending June 2023.

Arts Commission:

1. Reappoint Sandeep Umarani to a term ending October 2025.

All recommended Commissioner appointments have been reviewed and confirmed by the City Clerk’s office.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Reconfirm Findings and Determinations Under Resolution No. 9165 and Assembly Bill 361 for the Continuation of Virtual Meetings of the City Council and Legislative Bodies (Staff Contact: Michael Mutalipassi, City Attorney, 408-586-3040) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Move to reconfirm findings and determinations under Resolution No. 9165 and Assembly Bill 361 for the continuation of virtual meetings of the City Council and Legislative Bodies.

Background:

On March 17, 2020, in the face of the COVID -19 pandemic, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow for local legislative bodies to conduct their meetings completely telephonically or by other electronic means.

The provisions in the Brown Act that were suspended by the Governor’s Executive Order are contained at Government Code Section 54953(b)(3) and require that when teleconferencing is used, outside of a statewide emergency, that the following occur:
 An agenda is required to be posted at all locations, including any teleconference locations  Each teleconference location must be identified on the actual agenda  Each teleconference location shall be accessible to the public  A quorum of the legislative body must be in the jurisdiction With the Governor’s Executive Order, the four above requirements were suspended, allowing Councilmembers to not have to post an agenda at their teleconference location, not have to identify their location on the meeting agenda, not have to ensure public accessibility at the teleconference location, and the legislative body did not need a quorum present in the jurisdiction. As the Council is well aware, this allowed all City Council meetings and other meetings of legislative bodies of the City to be conducted by Zoom with councilmembers, commission members, committee members, and staff all joining from remote virtual locations.

The suspension of certain provisions of the Brown Act was further extended by the Governor on June 11, 2021 by the issuance of Executive Order N -08-21 which continued to allow for complete virtual meetings until September 30, 2021.

With the expiration of the Governor’s Executive Order and the uncertainty that surrounded the Governor’s potential recall, the State Legislature also took the remote meeting issue into its own hands through the adoption of Assembly Bill 361, which is explained in more depth in the Analysis section below.

On May 17. 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9156, making findings that there is an existing State of Emergency and that state or local officials continue to recommend social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID -19. In particular, the r esolution included reference to Cal -OSHA regulation 3205, which recommends physical distancing in the workplace. By motion and majority vote, the City Council may reconfirm the findings of Resolution No. 9156 and continue to hold virtual meetings pursuant to AB 361. 26 Item # C7.

Analysis:

On September 16, 2021, the Governor signed AB 361, which allows legislative bodies to meet virtually provided there is a state of emergency declared by the Governor, and either (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the legislative body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees. The Governor by executive order signed on September 20, 2021, suspended the effective date of AB 361 to October 1, 2021. As a result, if the City desires to have virtual meetings on or after October 1, 2021, it must do so consistent with the requirements of AB 361.

AB 361 preserves many of the provisions of the earlier executive orders , including the suspension of the four teleconferencing requirements noted above, while also adding new requirements to the management of remote and teleconference public meetings in order to better achieve the levels of transparency that the Brown Act demands. Specifically, AB 361 imposes two new rules on remote public meetings:

1. Local governments and agencies hosting teleconference meetings in lieu of traditional in -person public meetings must permit direct public comment during the teleconference and must leave open the opportunity for public comment until the comment period for a given item is closed during the ordinary course of the meeting. The opportunity to make public comment must b e of a sufficient duration so as to allow actual public participation.

2. Any action by the governing body during a public teleconference meeting must occur while the agency is actively and successfully broadcasting to members of the public through a call -in option or an internet-based service option. If a technical disruption within the agency’s control prevents members of the public from either viewing the meeting of the public agency or prevents members of the public from offering public comment, the agency must cease all action on the meeting agenda until the disruption ends and the broadcast is restored. Action taken during an agency-caused disruption may be challenged as a violation of the Brown Act.

In order to continue to qualify for AB 361’s waiver of in -person meeting requirements, the City Council must, within thirty (30) days of its first meeting under AB 361, and every thirty (30) days thereafter, make findings that (a) state or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, or that (b) an in-person meeting would constitute an imminent risk to the safety of attendees.

The above conditions continue to exist at this time, and staff recommends that the City Council by motion reconfirm the findings made in Resolution No. 9156 so that the City Council and all other subordinate legislative bodies may continue to meet virtually.

Lastly, it is important to note that AB 361 is optional. If the City Council wishes, it may meet in person. In addition, hybrid meetings are permissible.

Policy Alternatives:

Alternative 1: Do not by motion reconfirm the findings made in the resolution making findings and determinations under Assembly Bill 361 for the continuation of virtual meetings.

Pros: None
Cons: Many of the existing Commission, Committee, and Task Force meetings will not be able to meet virtually or through a hybrid format forcing all staff, commission or committee members, and the public to attend meetings in person.

Reason not recommended: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a global health issue and by forcing commission, committee, and task force meetings to be in person, public health may be put at risk.

Fiscal Impact:

The City Council’s reconfirmation of the findings made in the resolution to continue with virtual meetings will maintain the status quo and no financial impact is anticipated by the reconfirmation of the findings. 27 Item # C7.

California Environmental Quality Act:

The City Council’s reconfirmation of the find ings made in the resolution is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378 (b)(5) as it constitutes an organizational or administrative activity of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Further, virtual meetings are likely to reduce certain impacts associated with vehicular travel related to in-person public meetings.

Recommendation:

Move to reconfirm findings and determinations under Resolution No. 9105 and Assembly Bill 361 for the continuation of virtual meetings of the City Council and Legislative Bodies.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Four-Year Agreement with CivicPlus for the CivicEngage Municipal Website Platform (Staff Contact: Daniel Nam, Information Technology Director, 408-586-2712)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a four-year agreement with CivicPlus for the CivicEngage Government Website Platform for a total not to exceed contract amount of $200,000.00, in final form to be approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s website serves as a critical communication channel for current and future Milpitas residents and businesses. In May 2001, under the City Council’s direction, City launched its first website, hosted on site by the City’s server network. Since its launch, the website went through several iterations to include more digital services and to keep the site content fresh and functional. In April 2016, Council approved the launch of the current website developed in collaboration between various City departments.

Since the last update, the performance of the existing website solution has been impacted due to the volume of content and increased programs and services offered through the site. Additionally, its outdated architecture and design also pose security challenges due to software vulnerabilities and a lack of adequate permission control. American Disabilities Act requires that public agency websites stay accessible to the public with disabilities. Although the current website meets the minimum guidelines, there are areas of improvement to improve accessibility.

In summary, the current website is outdated, cluttered, and does not accurately reflect the image and brand of the City. The technology available today combined with modernized design standards and website design principles would much better serve Milpitas residents, businesses, and other website visitors.

ANALYSIS:

Staff evaluated potential solutions with the primary objectives of improving resident and business engagement, communication, accessibility, security, and integration with other technology systems, while showcasing the City’s brand for business attraction. The lessons from the challenges with the current website, as well as the feedback received from the public and employees were also taken into consideration, including improved search capability, easy-to-navigate menu layout, and implementation of a content management system to improve staff efficiency.

Based on the requirements, staff determined that the CivicEngage website platform from CivicPlus would best accomplish the City’s objectives. CivicPlus has over 20-years of experience in government engagement solutions and municipal website industry serving over 11,000 local government clients across the country.

CivicPlus is the City’s current vendor for several public engagement and administration tools, including the MyMilpitas Citizen Reporting app, NextRequest Public Records Request management software, ArchiveSocial Social Media Archival Service and MuniCode Meetings and Codes, which provide better integration opportunities. CivicPlus also offers other products that can help streamline content management, comply with ADA regulations, and provide a comprehensive, integrated solution for the variety of services provided by the City. These include Agenda & Meeting Management, Public Safety Notifications, and Recreation Management solutions.

Per Section I-2-1.03 of the City’s Municipal Code, installation and implementation of information technology projects is defined as a professional service and can be procured without a competitive solicitation (Section I-2-31 Item # C8.

3.13). Thus, staff is recommending executing a contract with CivicPlus without a competitive procurement process.

Scope of Services
The scope of services includes project management, interviews with staff to determine desired functionality as well as solicitation of feedback from external users on a test site. Once the desired functionality is determined, CivicPlus will assist with the design of the site as well as data migration to the cloud. Before the launch, CivicPlus will provide 3-day on-site training to the staff to ensure efficient management of the content. The scope also includes a redesign of the website in the fourth year. This will enable the City to refresh the look of the website while taking advantage of the latest technology trends and tools. Launch of the new site is estimated to take 6-8 months from contract execution.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not approve entering into an agreement with CivicPlus for CivicEngage website platform.

Pros: The City will not incur $200,000 in costs.

Cons: City will not have the ability to modernize the City’s website that serves as its digital doorstep.

Reason for Not Recommending: City will lose the opportunity to improve citizen and business engagement, communication, accessibility, security, and provide accurate, modern and professional image of the City to the public. City will be exposed to security vulnerabilities from outdated architecture of the website platform.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total contract amount, including the initial implementation and 4-year maintenance costs is to not exceed $200,000. The funding required for the initial implementation is approximately $99,000, which will be funded by the Capital Improvement Program, CIP 3427 “Technology Projects,” that has a balance of $354,630 as of October 28, 2022. Funding for CIP 3427 comes from the General Government CIP Fund and the Permit Automation Fund,

Subsequent 3-year annual maintenance cost of approximately $33,000 per year will be covered by the Information Technology Department and appropriated by Council during the annual budget process.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

By the definition provided in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this action does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of CEQA as this action has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a four-year agreement with CivicPlus for the CivicEngage Government Website Platform for a total not to exceed contract amount of $200,000, in final form to be approved by the City Attorney.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT

Item Title: Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 38.848 Amending Sections of Chapter 10 (Zoning), Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code Relating to Definitions and Regulations for Personal and Commercial Service Land Uses (Staff Contact: Ned Thomas, Planning Director, 408-586-3273)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Move to waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 38.848 amending sections of Chapter 10 (Zoning) of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code relating to definitions and regulations for commercial service land uses

Background:

This Ordinance was introduced at the City Council meeting held on October 18, 2022. The Ordinance is now ready for its second reading and adoption.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed zoning ordinance amendments will create a new land use classification for personal services and amend the existing classifications for commercial service s and business support services. With the new and revised land use classifications, the number of use permit applications for new businesses may vary, and the corresponding permit fees collected by the City would also vary. The difference in fees collected would depend on what type of future businesses are proposed and in what locations, which is unknown. The change in permit fee revenues associated with the proposed zoning amendments would likely be negligible.

California Environmental Quality Act:

The proposed text amendments to the Milpitas Municipal Code are exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Recommendation:

Move to waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 38.848 amending sections of Chapter 10 (Zoning) of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code relating to definitions and regulations for personal and commercial service land uses.

3 Ordinance No. 38.848

RECITALS AND FINDINGS:

WHEREAS, the City of Milpitas, California (the “City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 65800 et seq. authorizes the adoption and administration of zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations by cities as a means of implementing the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, clear and specific zoning regulations, including development standards and findings for project approval, are important elements in a municipal government’s process of encouraging and approving high-quality development projects that are compatible with surrounding areas; and WHEREAS, the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 10 of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code, does not currently include a specific definition for personal services, and the definitions for commercial services and business support services are overly broad; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to enact appropriate regulations applying to commercial services of a personal nature, as opposed to those that provide services to a more professional or business nature, and to more clearly distinguish between different types of commercial services based on their operational characteristics and appropriate location under the zoning regulations; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Zoning Amendment (“Amendment”) to the City’s Municipal Code, including Section 2.03 (“Definitions”), Section 4.02 (“Residential Use Table”), 5.02 (“Commercial Use Table”), 6.02 (“Mixed Use Use Table”), and 7.02 (“Industrial Use Table”), Section 4.03 (“Residential Zone Special Uses”), Section 6.02-1 (Mixed Use Zone Special Uses”), and Section 53.09 (“Off-Street Parking Standards”) of Chapter 10 (Zoning) of Title XI; and
WHEREAS, on September 14, 2022, the Planning Commission for the City of Milpitas held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment and consider the proposed Amendment, take public testimony, and make a recommendation to the City Council on the project; and WHEREAS, on September 14, 2022, the Planning Commission for the City of Milpitas voted unanimously (7-0) to recommend that the City Council adopt the proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendment; and
WHEREAS, on October 18, 2022, the City Council of the City of Milpitas held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment, take public testimony, and consider the proposed Amendment; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (projects consistent with the General Plan) and Section 15061(b)(3) (no possibility of significant environmental effect).

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:

36 Item # C9.
4 Ordinance No. 38.848

SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Based on its review of the entire record, including the staff report, public comments and testimony presented to the Planning Commission and City Council, and the facts outlined below, the City Council hereby finds and determines that this ordinance is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), also known as the “common sense exemption.” This ordinance would enact appropriate regulations relating to commercial services of a personal nature, such as hair and nail salons, as opposed to those that provide services to a more professional or business nature, such as accounts or copy shops. The new regulations are needed to more clearly distinguish between different types of commercial services based on their operational characteristics and location s. Given that the proposed cha nges are limited to clarifying definitions and updating use tables within the Zoning Ordinance, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment.

Moreover, the City Council he reby finds that the introduction and adoption of this Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning). Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines provides that projects that are consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning for which an EIR has been certified “shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculia r to the project or its site.” The proposed zoning amendments serve to implement policies and guidelines in the Land Use Element of the Milpitas General Plan because they would clarify definitions and update use tables in the adopt ed Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines.

SECTION 3. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Land Use Element of the City’s General Plan includes policies and guidelines that require development projects to support a full spectrum of conveniently located residential, commercial, public, and quasi -public uses that support and enhance business development a nd regional transportation objectives. The Land Use Element also calls for reviewing and updating the Zoning Ordinance as appropriate to reflect Land Use goals, policies, and implementation action included in the General Plan. Moreover, the Land Use Elemen t provided that the City shall monitor emerging trends in retail and other commercial uses… and update the Zoning Ordinance to help en sure that commercial centers remain competitive and successful. The proposed zoning amendments address each of these General Plan policies by making it easier to interpret and administer the use regulations and to authorize a variety of commercial and personal service uses in appropriate locations. The amendments have been drafted as part of a periodic review of the Zoning Ordinance to identify needed updates and address ambiguities and inconsistencies in the code. 37 Item # C9.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the City of Milpitas and Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place (Staff Contact: Steve Erickson, Engineering Director / City Engineer, 408-586-3301; and Roberto Alonzo, Principal Civil Engineer, 408-586- 3316)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the City of Milpitas and Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place.

BACKGROUND:

Toll West Coast LLC (developer) received three development entitlements for the improvement of property located at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place. The project is collectively known as the Parkside Project (Project). The combined project area totals approximately 8.88-acres, and it is located within the Transit Area Specific Plan Area. The three development entitlements associated with this Project are as follows:

 September 20, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8587 for the 2.81-acre parcel located at 1980 Tarob Court for construction of 59 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures.

 October 3, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8702 for the 2.42-acre parcel located at 1992 Tarob Court for construction of 53 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures.

 February 20, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8748 for the 3.65-acre parcel located at 551 Lundy Place approving construction of 89 residential condominium units with related common areas, utilities, offsite improvements, landscaping, irrigation, and stormwater treatment measures.

The Project will utilize required Best Management Practices (BMP), Low Impact Development (LID) and Integrated Management Practices (IMP) for the post construction treatment of stormwater as required by City Ordinance and State Law.

ANALYSIS:

In accordance with State Law and the City’s Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (“MRP”) issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (“RWQCB”), new development and redevelopment projects that create and/or replace 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface are required to incorporate Low Impact Development (“LID”) post construction stormwater control measures into the project. LID control measures include, for example, bioretention areas, flow-through planters, permeable pavement, infiltration trenches and tree well filters.

The MRP section C.3.h.ii.(1)(a) and Milpitas Municipal Code Title XI Chapter 16 also requires development project property owners meeting the 10,000 square foot threshold to execute and record a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement with the City for the perpetual operation, maintenance and annual inspection of LID stormwater treatment facilities. 84 Item # C10.

The Parkside Project will construct bio-retention basins and pervious pavers to meet the low impact development and post construction treatment requirements for stormwater. The developer, Toll West Coast LLC and the project Homeowners Association (HOA) will be responsible for the perpetual operation and maintenance of the stormwater treatment facilities which will be owned by the HOA and not maintained by the city.

Toll West Coast LLC has executed the required Stormwater Management Operations and Maintenance Agreement for this Project. The Agreement requires the HOA to operate and maintain the installed stormwater treatment facilities in accordance with the Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit and the HOA will compensate the City to complete the required annual system inspections.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached Stormwater Management Agreement (Attached) which has been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved as to form and by the Engineering Director/City Engineer as to content.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1:

Not approve the Stormwater Management Operations and Maintenance Agreement (O&M) for this Project for the perpetual operation and maintenance of the installed stormwater treatment facilities.

Pros: None

Cons: Not approving the Agreement would cause the Project to not be compliant with the Conditions of Approval for this Project as well as the requirements of the City’s Municipal Code and State law.

Reason for Not Recommending: To allow the Project to move forward without delay and to be compliant with the development conditions and State law, staff recommends approval of the O&M Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Project developer will install the privately owned stormwater treatment facilities which will not be maintained by the City. The HOA will operate and maintain the facilities and compensate the City for required annual facility inspections.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

The City Council’s approval of the agreement was already reviewed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at the time the City Council approved the entitlements for the project thru an initial environmental assessment. The Planning Department conducted an initial environmental assessment of the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that the project is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15168(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines because of its consistency with the certified EIR for the Transit Area Specific Plan adopted on June 3, 2008, by the City Council. On this basis, the City Council relies on the previous CEQA review conducted in approving this agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement between the City of Milpitas and Toll West Coast, LLC for the Parkside Project at 1980 and 1992 Tarob Court and 551 Lundy Place.

I. BMP OPERATION AND MAINTENACE
A. Means to Finance and Implement BMP Maintenance

Proper maintenance and operation of stormwater management facilities will be the responsibility of the HOA to be established under this project. All necessary forms or agreements will be established between the City and developer during the course of final completion of the stormwater control plan.

The applicant will prepare and s ubmit, for the City’s r eview, an acceptable Stormwater Control Op eration and Maintenance Plan prior to completion of the construction and will execute a Stormwater Management Facilities Operation and Maintenance Agreement before sale, transfer, or permanent occupancy of the site.

The applicant accepts responsibility for maintenance of stormwater management facilities until such responsibility is transferred to another entity.

B. Summary of Maintenance Requirements

Bioretention Areas remove pollutants primarily by filtering runoff slowly through an active layer of soil. Routine maintenance is needed to insure that flow is unobstructed, that erosion is prevented, and that soils are held together by plant roots and are biologically active. Typical routine maintenance consists of the following:
 Inspect inlets for channels, exposure of soils, or other evidence of erosion.

Clear any obstructions and remove any accumulation of sediment. Examine rock or other material used as a splash pad and replenish if necessary.

 Inspect outlets for erosion or plugging.

 Inspect side slopes for evidence of instability or erosion and correct as necessary.

 Observe soil in the swale or planter for uniform percolation throughout. If portions of the swale or filter do not drain within 48 -hours after the end of a storm, the soil should be tilled and replanted. Remove any debris or accumulation of sediment.

 Confirm that any check dams and flow spreader are in place and level and that channelization within the swale or filter is effectively prevented.

 Examine the vegetation to insure that it is healthy and dense enough to provide filtering and to protect soils from eros ion. Replenish mulch as necessary, remove fallen leaves and debris, prune large shrubs or trees, and mow turf areas. Confirm that irrigation is adequate and not excessive. Replace dead 98 Item # C10.

plants and remove invasive vegetation.

 Abate any potential vectors by filling holes in the ground in and around swale and by insuring that there are no areas where water stands longer than 48-hours following a storm. If mosquito larvae are present and persistent, contact the Santa Clara County Vector Control District for inf ormation and advice.

Mosquito larvicides should be applied only when absolutely necessary and then only by a licensed contractor.

 Maintenance of vegetated swales and bioretention areas will be required a minimum of one (1) time per year at the b eginning of the rainy season.

Additional maintenance may be required throughout the rainy season if excessive debris is found within the swales, or the swales do not drain completely in 48-hours after a rain event.

 Allow leaf drop to become part of the mulch layer in tree, shrub, and groundcover areas

 Keep lawn mower blades sharp and recycle grass clippings.

 Collect lawn and garden clippings, pruning waste, and tree trimming. Chip if necessary, and compost or take to the local municipal yard waste recycling/composting facility.

 Sweep paved areas regularly to collect loose particles. Wipe up spills with rags and other absorbent material immediately; do not hose down the area to a storm drain.

II. Use of Pesticides
The use of pesticides and quick release fertilizers shall be minimized, and the principles of
integrated pest management (IPM) followed:

1. Employ non-chemical controls (biological, physical and cultural controls) before using chemicals to treat a pest problem.

2. Prune plants properly and at the appropriate time of year.

3. Provide adequate irrigation for landscape plants. Do not over water.

4. Limit fertilizer use unless soil testing indicates a deficiency. Slow-release or organic fertilizer is preferable. Check with municipality for specific requirements.

5. Pest control should avoid harming non-target organisms, or negatively affecting air and water quality and public health. Apply chemical controls only when monitoring indicates that preventative and non-chemical methods are not keeping pests below acceptable levels. When pesticides are required, apply the least toxic and the least persistent pesticide that will provide adequate pest control. Do not apply pesticides on a prescheduled basis.

6. Sweep up spilled fertilizer and pesticides. Do not wash away or bury such spills.

7. Do not over apply pesticide. Spray only where the infestation exists. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and applying materials.

8. Only licensed, trained pesticide applicators shall apply pesticides.

9. Apply pesticides at the appropriate time to maximize their effectiveness and minimize the likelihood of discharging pesticides into runoff. With the exception of pre-emergent pesticides, avoid application if rain is expected.

10. Unwanted/unused pesticides shall be disposed as hazardous waste.

III. Vector Control
Standing water shall not remain in the treatment measures for more than five days, to prevent mosquito generation. Should any mosquito issues arise, contact the Santa Clara Valley Vector Control District (District). Mosquito larvicides shall be applied only when absolutely necessary, as indicated by the District, and then only by a licensed professional or contractor. Contact information for the District is provided below.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Improvement Agreement with Satpreet Singh Thind and Jaspreet Kaur Thind, for Completion of Offsite Public Improvements Located at 250 Piedmont Road Associated with Site Development Permit (SD19-0004) (Staff Contact: Roberto Alonzo, Principal Civil Engineer, 408-586-3316)
Category: Consent Calendar-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the improvement agreement with Satpreet Singh Thind and Jaspreet Kaur Thind, for completion of offsite public improvements located at 250 Piedmont Road associated with Site Development Permit (SD19-0004).

BACKGROUND:

On August 13, 2020, the Milpitas Planning Zone Administrator approved a Site Development Permit (SD19- 0004) for construction of a new 2-story single-family residence on a vacant 0.25-acre lot and associated off-site public improvements located at 250 Piedmont Road, (PROJECT). Offsite public improvements to be constructed with this PROJECT include curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees, driveways, utility services, extension of existing City sewer main, and other miscellaneous items of work identified on the public improvement plans.

ANALYSIS:

The Developer, Satpreet Singh Thind and Jaspreet Kaur Thind, has agreed to enter into an Improvement Agreement (Attached) with the City for construction of required off-site public improvements for this PROJECT which will be accepted, and maintained by the City upon completion. The off-site public improvements will be completed in two phases and both phases are to be completed within 2-years from the date of the Agreement.

The completion of the off-site public improvement work will be guaranteed by bonds or similar security to be posted by the Developer in the amounts of $63,955.00 for Phase 1 and $7,168.00 for Phase 2. The Engineering Director/City Engineer has reviewed the public improvement plans (2-1371) and recommends the City Council approve the Improvement Agreement to allow for the construction of public improvements to proceed.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1:

Deny approval of Improvement Agreement for the installation of off-site public improvements for the Project.

Pros: None

Cons: Denying approval of the Improvement Agreement will cause construction of required off-site public improvements to be delayed and will prevent the owner from receiving an occupancy permit from the Building Department.

Reason for Not Recommending: The proposed off-site public improvements will benefit the Project and provide public benefit by extending the existing curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street tree improvements along Piedmont Road south along the Projects frontage. Staff recommends the City Council approve the Improvement Agreement to allow construction of the off-site public improvements for this Project.

144
Item # C11.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Developer will reimburse the City for costs associated with plan review, permitting, and construction inspection of off-site public improvements to be constructed. The City will have perpetual ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the improvements following construction and acceptance of the project. The Public Works Department provides funding for future maintenance of newly accepted City infrastructure through their operating budget.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

Approval of the Improvement Agreement implements this project for which CEQA review has already been completed, by the Planning Division, and is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15303 (C) (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Improvement Agreement with Satpreet Singh Thind and Jaspreet Kaur Thind, for the completion of Offsite Public Improvements Located at 250 Piedmont Road Associated with Site Development Permit (SD19-0004).

Section 4
Proposed Work Program & Methodology

1. 4th of July Celebration

A) Services provided
a. Show design: We will work with your staff to understand exactly what sort of look and feel that you would like for your show. This will include music selection, which will help determine the exact pyrotechnic products that we will select to best showcase and take advantage of the music soundtrack.

Your show will include an opening announcement volley of shots, a main body of fireworks featuring all of our highest quality shells choreographed to the music and an exciting and sky-filling Grand Finale’.

Included at no additional charge will be our signature multiple launch point design featuring criss-crossing comets, animated mines and multi-shot barrage devices to thoroughly entertain your audience. The aerial shells will provide 98% or more of the pyrotechnic entertainment, with multi-shot barrages used to fill and provide contrast and additional visual and audible content.

b. Fireworks choreography: We will provide the services of one of our professional fireworks choreographers to best match the fireworks with the selected music. The choreographer will program the display into one of our state-of-the-art firing computers that will reproduce the choreographer’s design down to 1/100th of a second accuracy. c. Fireworks America will provide the City of Milpitas with either an audio CD or synchronized digital audio device to connect to your amplified speaker system for audio playback.
d. Once choreography is complete, our choreographer will provide the City of Milpitas with a computer-generated video simulation of the fireworks display to show you what your show will actually look like.
e. Our licensed pyrotechnician and crew will safely set-up the display following all local, state and federal regulations as well as best industry practices. They will supervise the safe launch of the display and clean-up the firing area at the completion of the display.

2. Lunar New Year Celebration

A) Product Provided

Fireworks America will provide 900,000 Tao firecrackers using 36 individual stings of firecrackers.

Each string is eight feet (8’) long and contains approximately 25,000 Tao.

This will be delivered, set-up and discharged to your specifications.

B) Firing Plan:

Although the City of Milpitas can specify to us exactly how you would like to discharge the firecrackers and we can accommodate your exact requests, to provide for an entertaining and meaningful experience for everyone, we would recommend the following sample plan:

ACT 1:

An appropriately decorated firecracker cage is placed on the lawn or upper sidewalk area and TWO STRINGS are lit inside the firecracker cage. This provides a very safe environment where the firecrackers are closer to the audience to provide a memorable experience without being overpowering or overly obnoxious. This is a traditional method of discharging firecrackers close to the audience without sacrificing safety. Approximate run time: About 1 - 2 minutes.

ACT 2:

Two eight foot (8’) tall strings of firecrackers are suspended from ten foot (10’) tall poles placed on either side of the stage. The strings are lit simultaneously, and the firecrackers ignited from bottom to top in the traditional manner. This is a very traditional method of displaying firecrackers on Lunar New Year. Approximate run time: 1 – 2 minutes.

ACT 3: (Finale)
The remaining thirty-two firecracker strings are ignited on our custom framework that spans the stage from left to right. We will ignite the outer strings first, two at a time (both left and right) 204
Item # C12.
then progressively ignite the strings moving toward the center. As we approach the center, we progressively ignite multiple strings, to quicken the pace and build the excitement to a loud firecracker-rushing finale. Note: We have improved our firecracker framework to avoid cross- ignition between the strings and to provide better control over pre-mature ignition of all firecracker strings. This gives us a much more refined control of the strings and allows us to ignite the strings with control and precision.

Approximate run time: 2-6 minutes.
205
Item # C12.

Section 4 (continued)

Clean-up

Fireworks America will clean-up all debris associated with the firecracker discharge and depart the property leaving it looking the same (or better) than when we arrived.

Photographs of Fireworks to be used in display

Since fireworks effects are based on motion and transformative effects, please refer to our provided videos for more accurate examples of fireworks shells. We have an inventory of over 300 unique styled 3” aerial shells and simple photographs do not accurately depict their performance. In addition to traditional “flower” shaped shells known as peonies, chrysanthemums and dalias, we also offer shells with descriptions such as screamers, hummers, falling leaves, scattering stars, swimming fish, wasps, brocades, bees, crossettes, waterfalls, willows, coconut trees, waves, strobes, whistles, salutes, tiger tails and many, many more. It would take hundreds of pages to provide accurate photographs of our inventory and the photographs seldom are an accurate depiction of the effects that each shell provides. Please enjoy our provided videos. We have provided your office with a high-capacity USB memory stick containing our videos.

Quality Control & Safety, w/sample plot plan depicting safety zone

Fireworks & Stage FX America prides itself in it’s excellent safety record. All personnel are regularly trained in both pyrotechnic best practices and general safety. We follow all Federal, State and Local laws pertaining to fireworks operations and safety and utilize the latest edition of NFPA 1123 “Code for Fireworks Display” for the application of best industry practices.

In addition, company management routinely monitors our field crews for quality and safety compliance and works with our licensed pyrotechnicians when we find room for improvement.

When we produce a fireworks display, the first component to our safety plan is contained in our show design and plot plan. All fireworks products are sized and selected to safely fit the venue in which we are working. This is to endure that the fireworks do not damage local property, injure the audience or our personnel. We will create an over-all plot plan that will delineate where each and every pyrotechnic device will be placed and calculate the safe set-back distances to ensure that if anything were to malfunction on a device, any potential effects from that device will not reach the audience. This plot plan will be presented to the local fire department for approval prior to the event.

On the day of event, we will closely examine the site to be sure that our equipment has been properly laid out as per the approved plans. The fireworks are transported to the venue in a DOT approved and properly placarded vehicle, driven by a licensed hazmat certified driver.

Once the fireworks products arrives on-site, they will remain locked in the truck until they are loaded into the launch mortars.

211
Item # C12.

The general public is kept out of the launch area any time that fireworks are present.

A major component of the safety plan is the safety fallout zone. Prior to shooting the display, we will make sure that the safety/fallout zone is clear of unauthorized persons. Our spotters monitor the area during the show and if any unauthorized persons enter the safety/fallout zone, the show will be paused until they can be removed and the area made safe again. Our spotters are also watching the fireworks fallout for any changes in wind direction or any conditions that might create a hazard. All spotters are in full communications with our licensed shooter, and the show can be paused at any time if needed.

We encourage the fire authority (fire inspector) to position themselves near the fireworks control panel so that they can be in contact with the shooter at all times.

A sample plot plan is attached, with representative safety fallout zone and basic launch point locations. Audience is shown in football field area, but can exist in any areas outside of yellow fallout zone radius.

As reported on the Consent Agenda for the September 6, 2022 City Council meeting, the City issued 18 letters, of which ten letters supporting and eight letters opposing individual bills based on the approved legislative guiding principles (see attached). This report provides an update on the legislative advocacy success for 2022.

Of the ten bills which the City supported, the Governor approved seven and vetoed two bills, and one bill was not approved by the Legislature on time. Both bills the City supported and the Governor vetoed were related to solid waste management. Of the eight bills which the City opposed, the Governor approved six bills and two bills were not approved by the Legislature on time. Five of the six bills the City opposed and the Governor approved were related to land use and zoning regulations and approvals, such as the maximum height of ADUs, parking requirements for new developments, or approval process for affordable and mixed-use housing development projects.

Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director (Jeannine Seher, Human Resources Director, 408-586-3086) Category: Leadership and Support Services
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director in accordance with California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Roger Lee.

BACKGROUND:

The California Public Employees Reform Act of 2013 requires a 180-day “wait” period before a retiree can return to work for a public agency, subject to exceptions that do not apply in this instance. In addition to the requirements of PEPRA, the appointment of a retiree to a vacant position must comply with Section 21221(h) of the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”). In accordance with PERL, the appointment is permissible if it is made during the recruitment for a permanent appointment to the position and it is approved by the governing body of the employer in a public meeting. Staff has worked with the City Attorney to ensure that additional requirements, such as ones that relate to compensation and hours worked, will be met.

ANALYSIS:

Roger Lee retired from the City of Cupertino and served as Public Works Director position with more than 13 years of Public Works leadership experience in the public sector. His last day of work was December 30, 2021, thereby satisfying the statutory 180-day “wait” period. Given his Public Works background, Mr. Lee has significant experience and knowledge related to the management and operation of the Public Works Department. Consistent with the requirements of Government Code Section 21221(h), the City has initiated a recruitment for a regular appointment to the Public Works Director vacancy. Staff recommends Mr. Lee be appointed to serve as the Interim Public Works Director pending the conclusion of the recruitment process for a regular appointment to assist in the transition of leadership in the Public Works Department. Included in the Council’s agenda packet is the required resolution to appoint a retiree pursuant to Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and the employment agreement.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director and do not approve and authorize the City Manager to execute, a retroactive employment agreement with Mr. Lee.

Pros: None
Cons: This will create difficulty in the smooth transition of leadership in the Public Works Department.

Reason for Not Recommending: This will create difficulty in the smooth transition of leadership in the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The compensation paid to retirees cannot be less than the minimum nor exceed the maximum hourly rate paid to other employees performing comparable duties and is limited to 960 hours per fiscal year. Accordingly, the hourly rate to be paid is $86.32 or up to $120.85 per fiscal year. Funding is available from staff vacancies within the FY2022-23 adopted budget.

Item # C14.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

Approval of the recommendation is not an activity defined as a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(4) either because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and/or because the action is financial and/or administrative and does not directly impact the environment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution appointing Roger Lee as Interim Public Works Director in accordance with California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Roger Lee.

Item Title: Adopt a Resolution Appointing Liz Brown as Interim Human Resources Director (Jeannine Seher, Human Resources Director, 408-586-3086) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution appointing Liz Brown as Interim Human Resources Director in accordance with California Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and approve, and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Liz Brown.

BACKGROUND:

The California Public Employees Reform Act of 2013 requires a 180-day “wait” period before a retiree can return to work for a public agency; subject to exceptions that do not apply in this instance. In addition to the requirements of PEPRA, the appointment of a retiree to a vacant position must comply with Section 21221(h) of the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (“PERL”). In accordance with PERL, the appointment is permissible if it is made during the recruitment for a permanent appointment to the position and it is approved by the governing body of the employer in a public meeting. Staff has worked with the City Attorney to ensure that additional requirements, such as ones that relate to compensation and hours worked, will be met.

ANALYSIS:

The City’s current Human Resources Director will be retiring at the end of calendar year 2022. The City is recruiting for the Human Resources Director position but would like to hire an Interim Human Resources Director to ensure a smooth transition. Elizabeth (Liz) Brown retired from the Human Resources (HR) Director position with more than 29 years of Human Resources (HR) experience in the public sector. Ms. Brown initially retired from the City of Santa Clara in the position of Director of Human Resources, effective March 23, 2018.

Subsequent to that, Ms. Brown unretired and worked as HR Director for the City of Milpitas from 2018, retiring on July 6, 2020. Given her human resources background and familiarity with the City of Milpitas, Ms. Brown has significant experience and knowledge related to the management and operation of the Human Resources Department. Consistent with the requirements of Government Code Section 21221(h), the City has initiated a recruitment for a regular appointment to the Human Resources Director vacancy. Staff is recommending that the City bring Ms. Brown back to serve as the Interim HR Director pending the conclusion of the recruitment process for a regular appointment to assist in the transition of leadership in the HR Department. Included in the Council’s agenda packet is the required resolution to appoint a retiree pursuant to Government Code Sections 7522.56 and 21221(h) and the employment agreement.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not adopt the resolution appointing Liz Brown as Interim Human Resources Director and do not approve and authorize the City Manager to execute, an employment agreement with Liz Brown.

Pros: None
Cons: This will create difficulty in the smooth transition of leadership in the Human Resources Department.

Reason for Not Recommending: Not adopting the resolution will leave the City without a Director in a key City department and will not enable a smooth transition of leadership in the Human Resources Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The compensation paid to retirees cannot be less than the minimum nor exceed the maximum hourly rate paid to other employees performing comparable duties and is limited to 960 hours per fiscal year. Accordingly, the 239
Item # C15.

hourly rate to be paid is $83.84 or up to $117.37 per hour. Funding is available from staff vacancies within the FY2022-23 adopted budget.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

Approval of the recommendation is not an activity defined as a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(4) either because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment and/or because the action is financial and/or administrative and does not directly impact the environment.

Item Title: Appointment of City Council Ad Hoc Naming Subcommittee Members (Staff Contact: Renee Lorentzen, Director of Recreation and Community Services, 408- 586-3409)
Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Defer the appointment of two Members of the City Council to January 2023 to be heard with appointments of Members of the City Council to commissions, boards, and subcommittees for the next legislative period.

BACKGROUND:

On May 3, 2022 the City Council provided feedback to staff on the draft revision of the City Streets, Parks and Facilities Naming Policy (Policy) and on June 21, 2022, the City Council approved the Policy. Per the updated Policy, the City Council is to form an Ad Hoc City Council Naming Subcommittee to make recommendation to City Council on the naming of City streets, parks and facilities.

On August 6, 2022, City Council directed staff to return to the second meeting in November to discuss the formation of the Ad Hoc City Council Naming Subcommittee.

ANALYSIS:

On January 22, 2022, the City Council approved the City Council Policies and Procedures Handbook (Handbook). Chapter II, Section D.10 titled “City Council Subcommittees” states in part that “Subcommittees assist the Council by studying an issue and preparing policy alternatives and implications for Council deliberation.” Further, “Council subcommittees may not speak or act for the Council, and the subcommittee members should be regularly reporting out their work to the City Council through a scheduled agenda item.” Lastly, “Subcommittees shall obtain City Council concurrence before they proceed in any direction different from the original instructions of the City Council. In addition, Subcommittees should not implement policy, provide direction that would result in incurring additional expenses or provide direction to staff to take any actions that are not consistent with existing City Council direction without first obtaining City Council approval for such actions.”

Historically, Councilmembers are appointed or re-appointed to serve as liaisons to City Commissions, Subcommittees, Task Forces, and outside agency boards and committees in January of each year.

Traditionally, after a local election, the Mayor will reassign City Councilmembers to both the City and outside agency bodies, with input on the Councilmembers’ interests and availability.

Milpitas’ local election was on November 8 with new councilmembers and mayor to be sworn in on December

20. It is anticipated that new councilmember appointments by the Mayor would be agendized on January 10 or 17, 2023.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact with the formation of this Ad Hoc Subcommittee.

California Environmental Quality Act:

By the definition provided in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15378, this action does not qualify as a “project” for the purpose of CEQA. 247
Item # C16.

Recommendation(s):

Defer the appointment of two Members of the City Council to January 2023 to be heard with appointments of Members of the City Council to commissions, boards, and subcommittees for the next legislative period.

AGENDA REPORT

Item Title: FY 2022-23 1st Quarter Financial Status Report for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 (Staff Contact: Lauren Lai, Finance Director, 408-586-3111) Category: Consent Calendar-Leadership and Support Services Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Review the FY 2022-23 Quarterly Financial Status Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2022

BACKGROUND:

On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Operating Budget in the amount of $207.8 million and the General Fund Budget in the amount of $117.6 million. After adoption of the budget, staff monitors revenues and expenditures for all funds with an emphasis on the General Fund and Enterprise Funds.

ANALYSIS:

This staff report provides a quarterly update on budget versus actual revenues and expenditures of the General, Water and Sewer Funds, the City’s major operating funds. The summary information below as well as the attachments comprise the FY 2022-23 Quarterly Financial Status Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Major revenue sources and expenditures for these funds are discussed below. The attachments provide a more detailed summary of budget versus actual revenues and expenditures for the first quarter of FY 2022-23 as well as prior year actual for comparison purposes.

General Fund
On June 7, 2022, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 Adopted Operating General Fund Budget in the amount of $117.6 million. As of September 30, 2022, the City received $10.8 million in revenues, or 9.2% of the FY22-23 amended revenue budget and incurred $35.2 million in expenditures, or

29.4% of the FY22-23 amended operating budget. Revenues and expenditures are seasonal with cash flow fluctuations due to timing of revenue receipts and City serves rendered. As such, actual percentage of revenues may not match the lapsed time period of the quarterly report (i.e. 9.2% of revenue versus 25% for 3- month time period).

Revenues
As mentioned above, the three months ending September 30, 2022, the General Fund has received $10.8 million, or 9.2% of the FY 2022-23 amended revenue budget of $117.6 million. Overall, General Fund revenues are 43.1% greater than last year at the same time, mainly due to sales taxes, hotel/motel taxes and the timing of internal booking of operating transfers-in. Adjusting for the operating transfer anomaly, General Fund revenues are trending 28.9% higher than last year as of September 30, 2022. The FY2022-23 Adopted Budget did assume a higher, recovering revenue, which is discussed further below by major categories. Thus, although Q1 revenues may be higher than prior year Q1 revenues, these increased levels of revenue are already included in the Adopted FY2022-23 Adopted Budget.

$106,829,286 9.2% $7,547,410

 Property Taxes and Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund: Most property tax revenue is received in December and April, so it is normal for property tax revenue to be low in the first quarter. The revenue forecast estimates $42.6 million in total property tax revenue for the City of Milpitas based on the County of Santa Clara (County) projections. Compared to the County’s most recent update on November 04, 2022, the County’s property tax projections are net $3.1 million higher than the amended budget of $42.6 million. However, such variance primarily relates to ERAF allocation that is involved in current litigation and accordingly, the County continues to advise 30% be excluded from the budget and appropriation.

 Sales & Use Tax: Sales tax is usually collected one quarter in arrears. As of September 30, 2022, the City has received one month of sales tax receipts. Revenues are 24.8% higher than last year at the same time primarily due to higher consumption and inflation. As more data becomes available from the sales tax expert consultant, sales tax revenue may need to be adjusted at mid-year to align with current trend. Staff will continue to monitor the slight upward trend.

 Sales & Use Tax – Measure F: The district tax became operative April 1, 2021 and sunsets in eight years. As of September 30, 2022, the City has received one month of sales tax receipt for Measure F.

Revenues are 46.6% higher than last year at the same time, which was the go-live quarter. The budget currently aligns with the sales tax advisor’s estimates.

 Franchise Fees: Franchise fees are typically received a month in arrears. Sanitation franchise fees attributed to August and September have not yet been received. Revenue is trending 58.7% lower compared to last year due to August sanitation fees received in October (2nd quarter) rather than September (1st quarter).

 Hotel/Motel (TOT) Tax: Revenues are 91% higher than last year at the same time primarily due to less COVID-19 restrictions and the end of mask mandates, which allowed for ease of travel. TOT taxes are typically received a month in arrears. While TOT revenues are improving, it may not recover to pre- pandemic revenue levels as personal and business travel and lodging may be altered. Staff will continue to monitor this revenue.

250
Item # C17.

 License and Permits: Revenues are 20.9% greater than last year at the same time. This is largely due to the City processing higher volume of permits than prior year. Project timelines vary on a case-by- case basis and seldom within City control.

 Charges for Services: Revenues are 41.7% higher than last year at the same time. COVID-19 restrictions have eased and there is no longer a mask mandate, allowing more Recreation programs, events, and classes to be held compared to prior year which suffered shelter-in-place restrictions.

 Use of Money and Property: Revenues are 27.1% lower than last year at the same time due to sale of some investment holdings at a loss as part of the portfolio rebalancing in the first quarter.

Expenditures
For the three months ending September 30, 2022, the General Fund has utilized $35.2 million, or 29.4%, of the FY 22-23 amended operating budget of $119.5 million. The amended operating budget represents $117.6 million of the adopted appropriation and $1.9 million of carryover encumbrances. As of September 30, 2022, expenditures are trending 0.01% lower than last year. Staff will continue to monitor expenditures relative to Council authorized appropriations.

Staff would like to highlight the following items that are anomalies and/or current trends.  Previously, City Attorney services were contracted with an outside vendor and the contract service costs were encumbered upfront in the first quarter. In FY 2022-23, the City has an in-house City Attorney, which drastically decreased the contractual service encumbrance, resulting in a significant decrease in first quarter expenditure.
 In Fire Department, there was a decrease in overtime partly due to less deployment in fire mutual aid.  In Planning Department, higher than usual expenditure in first quarter was primarily due to a professional contract that was encumbered in the first quarter.  Recreation Department restored more services and programs as the City emerged from the Pandemic, which required more temporary staffing, resulting in more temporary staffing costs.  In Building Safety & Housing, higher than usual expenditure in first quarter was primarily due to contractual services encumbrance.
 Transfers Out represents operating transfers out to Information Technology Equipment Fund, and to Lightning and Maintenance District Fund.

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing and Introduce an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Milpitas in Accordance with the Provisions of Section 3.03 of Chapter 10 of Title XI (Zoning) of the Milpitas Municipal Code to Change the Zoning Classification of Certain Parcels (APNs 086-38-021, -022, and -037), Located on the East Side of South Hillview Drive and Extending Approximately 1200 Feet Southerly From Los Coches Street, From the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District to the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District (Staff Contact: Ned Thomas, Planning Director, 408-586-3273)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: (1) Conduct a public hearing and move to close the hearing following comments; (2) City Attorney shall read aloud title of the Ordinance; and (3) Move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce an Ordinance amending the Zoning map of the City of Milpitas in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03 of Chapter 10 of Title XI (Zoning Ordinance) of the Milpitas Municipal Code to change the Zoning Classification of Certain Parcels (APNs 086-38-021, -022, and –037), located on the east side of South Hillview Drive and extending approximately 1200 feet southerly from Los Coches Street, from the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District to the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District. In addition, determine that the zoning ordinance amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan and Zoning) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Background:

In October 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance 38.837 to restrict public assembly and other non- industrial uses in the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District. In late 2020, Planning staff spoke with the property owner of three parcels along the east side of South Hillview Drive regarding possible tenants for the three commercial/light industrial buildings on the parcels. Due to the restrictions on assembly and non-commercial uses in the underlying M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District, the range of tenants allowed to rent smaller spaces in the existing buildings was limited. Moreover, existing tenants in the buildings were now identified as legal non-conforming uses, with restrictions on physical expansion or intensification of existing uses. Staff also noted that the M2 Zoning District in this area abutted two newer R1 Single-family Residential neighborhoods.

The purpose of the proposed zoning map amendment is to create an appropriate safety and noise buffer between the existing R1 Single-Family Residential neighborhoods located south of Los Coches Street and west of Interstate 680 and the adjacent M2 Heavy Industrial area located west of South Hillview Drive.

Moreover, the proposed M1 Light Industrial zoning is more appropriate for the smaller size and narrower shape of the subject parcels and the existing multi-tenant commercial/light industrial buildings on these properties.

The amendment will make the existing uses (offices, religious institutions, and other light industrial uses) on the parcels conforming and allow greater flexibility and a larger range of other commercial/light industrial uses as future tenants. No development proposals are considered at this time with this application.

Overview of Zoning Map Amendment:

Site and Surroundings
The project site encompasses three separate parcels, totaling 2.8-acres, located along the east side of South Hillview Drive and approximately 1200 feet southerly from Los Coches Street. All three parcels are currently 257 Item # 18.

zoned M2 Heavy Industrial. The major roadways tangent to the site include Los Coches to the north and South Hillview Drive to the east. Berryessa Creek runs along the entire east side of the properties, and Yosemite Drive is the nearest major street to the south. High-transmission electrical lines run above the site with towers along the South Hillview Drive frontage.

The two northerly parcels are developed with single-story, multi-tenant commercial/light industrial buildings with surface parking lots below the electrical lines along South Hillview Drive. Current tenants include administrative and financial offices, commercial retail and professional uses, small research and development firms, and a radio station. The entire single-story building located on the southerly parcel is occupied by a church (Kingdom Hall). Development over the years has resulted in a transition from a typical industrial setting to one of an office and public/quasi-public setting. As noted above, the City Council amended the Zoning Ordinance in 2019 to protect manufacturing and employment in the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District by restricting non-industrial uses in these industrial areas. As a result, most current tenants at the subject site are now legal non-conforming uses, which have strict limitations in expansions and operations.

The surrounding zoning includes M2 Heavy Industrial to the immediate west and south, R1 Single-family Residential to the east, and TC Town Center to the north. The site abuts South Hillview Drive to the west and Berryessa Creek to the east. A vicinity map of the subject site location is shown on Figure 1, while a zoning map of the subject site location is shown on Figure 2.

Figure 2 – 158-300 S Hillview Drive (Zoning Map)

Zoning Map Change
The proposed zoning map amendment will change the existing zoning from M2 Heavy Industrial to M1 Light Industrial. The M1 Light Industrial Zoning District is reserved for the construction, use and occupancy of buildings and facilities for office, research, limited and light manufacturing, as well as other compatible uses.

The proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan as both M1 and M2 fall under the General Plan land use designation of MFG Manufacturing.

Permitted and Conditionally Permitted Uses
The M1 Light Industrial Zoning District is an appropriate designation for the project area, not only because it will create an appropriate safety and noise buffer between the Single-Family Residential zones to the east and the Heavy Industrial zones to the west and south, but all existing uses within the project area are either permitted or conditionally permitted within the Light Industrial Zoning District. The change will allow the property owner to market and lease to a wider range of possible tenants and a larger variety of use classifications.

General Plan Conformance
The City’s General Plan is the primary long-range planning document that provides the vision for the future growth and development of Milpitas. The zoning map amendment conform to the policies and standards in the City’s General Plan, as demonstrated in Table 1.

Project Site
N
259
Item # 18.

Table 1: General Plan Consistency
Policy Conformance
Land Use Element Policy LU 1-1:

Support a full spectrum of conveniently
located residential, commercial, public,
and quasi-public uses that support and
enhance business development and
regional transportation objectives and
promote the livability of residential
neighborhoods.

The proposed zoning amendment will allow a larger
variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and light industrial uses at the project site. The change
promotes the livability of the adjacent residential
neighborhood to the east because the types of uses
allowed under the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District
are more compatible than the uses allowed under the
existing M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning Direct. Creating a
safety and noise buffer between low-density
residential and heavy industrial uses will also enhance the livability of the residential neighborhoods and the existing mix of uses along South Hillview Drive.

Land Use Element Policy LU 1-7:

Recognize that the Land Use Map may
be amended in accordance with State
law to ensure that there is an adequate
supply of commercial, business park,
industrial, public facility, parks,
residential, and other desired land uses
to serve the City’s needs.

The proposed zoning amendment allows a variety of
commercial, medical, quasi-public, while also
preserving the City’s industrial land to serve the City’s needs. The proposed zone change will allow staff to
better implement City policies and actions. It will also allow the property owner/landlord a wider range or
potential commercial and light industrial tenants in the existing multi-tenant buildings on the site.

Land Use Element Policy LU 5-6:

In existing industrial and manufacturing
areas adjacent to neighborhoods and
other sensitive receptors, promote clean
creative industrial uses that are
environmentally sustainable and do not
create nuisances such as noise and
odors.

The proposed zoning amendment creates an
appropriate buffer between the existing Low-Density
Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east
and the Heavy Industrial zones to the south and west.

Rezoning the parcels to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public,
and light industrial uses that are environmentally
sustainable and more compatible with the existing
building sizes and site design. The M1 Light Industrial zoning designation and its allowable types of uses are
more appropriate for the project site due to its
proximity to sensitive receptors and the residential
neighborhood.

Findings: A finding is a statement of fact relating to the information that the City Council has considered in making a decision. Findings identify the rationale behind the decision to take a certain action. The following are the required findings for approval of a zoning amendment:

Zoning Amendment (Section XI-10-57.02(G)(3))

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

As summarized in Table 1, the proposed amendment is consistent with the Milpitas General Plan because the new zoning designation creates an appropriate safety buffer between the R1 Low-Density Single-Family Residential and M2 Heavy Industrial zones along Hillview Drive. This zone change allows for more appropriate uses, such as a variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public uses, as well as clean light industrial uses to operate at the project site.

2. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. 260
Item # 18.

The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare, as the new zoning designation will create a safety buffer between the R1 Low-Density Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and M2 Heavy Industrial areas to the west and south. Moreover, the zoning change from M2 Heavy Industrial to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and clean light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more appropriate for the project site and the public health, safety and welfare of nearby residents, workers, and customers.

Planning Commission Recommendation:

The Planning Commission considered the proposed Zoning Map Amendment at its meeting on October 26, 2022. Following discussion and public comment, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend that the City Council adopt the ordinance to amend the Zoning map of the City of Milpitas. The Commission’s resolution in favor of adoption of the proposed ordinance is attached (Attachment B).

Policy Alternative:

Alternative: Do not adopt an ordinance amending the Zoning Map of certain parcels (APNs 086-38-021, -022, and -037), located on the east side of South Hillview Drive and extending approximately 1200 feet southerly from Los Coches Street, from the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District to the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District.

The existing zoning designation would continue to be in effect.

Pros: There would be no changes to the zoning designation of the parcels (APNs 086-38-021, -022, and -037).

Continuing the current zoning designation would mean that the existing businesses and uses on the project site would remain legal non-conforming, with no legal possibility of physical expansion.

Cons: Continuing the current zoning designation would mean that the existing businesses and uses on the project site would remain legal non-conforming, with no legal possibility of physical expansion. The property owner would only be able to lease any vacant space to those uses that are permitted or conditionally permitted under M2 Heavy Industrial. Due to the existing site conditions, the property owner has not been able to find appropriate tenants for the space.

Reason Not Recommended: If the proposed ordinance is not adopted, the City would miss an opportunity to create an appropriate safety and noise buffer between the existing single-family residential neighborhood located south of Los Coches Street and west of Interstate 680 and the adjacent M2 Heavy Industrial area located west of South Hillview Drive.

Fiscal Impact:

The City collects application fees for any Conditional Use Permits that may be required to allow prospective new businesses in specific locations and zoning districts, depending on how the use is classified and whether the zoning regulations allow the use outright or require a discretionary use permit. The City also collects fees for business license requests and occupancy permits for any new business within the City. The difference in fees collected would depend on what type of future businesses are proposed and in what locations, which is unknown at this time. However, any change in permit fee revenues associated with the zoning map amendment would likely be minimal.

California Environmental Quality Act:

Pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), staff has determined that the introduction and adoption of this ordinance is not subject to review under CEQA. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), also known as the “common sense exemption,” states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. A “significant effect on the environment” means a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project. As noted above, this project only includes a change to the land use designations. Further, no development is considered as a part of the project and none of the proposed amendments would directly or indirectly result in physical changes to the environment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no 261
Item # 18.

possibility that the zoning map amendment in question would have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.

As a separate and independent basis, the project is also exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Project Consistent with General Plan, Community Plan, or Zoning), which applies to projects which are consistent with the General Plan for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or site

Recommendations:
1) Conduct a public hearing and move to close the hearing following comments. 2) City Attorney shall read aloud title of the Ordinance. 3) Move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce an Ordinance amending the Zoning map of the City of Milpitas in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03 of Chapter 10 of Title XI (Zoning Ordinance) of the Milpitas Municipal Code to change the Zoning Classification of Certain Parcels (APNs 086-38-021, -022, and –037), located on the east side of South Hillview Drive and extending approximately 1200 feet southerly from Los Coches Street, from the M2 Heavy Industrial Zoning District to the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District. In addition, determine that the zoning ordinance amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan and Zoning) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

WHEREAS, Section 3.03 of Chapter 10 Zoning of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code, divides the City into zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is the final authority on General Plan, Specific Plan, and Zoning amendments, including amendments to the Zoning Map; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to create an appropriate safety and noise buffer between the existing R1 Single-Family Residential neighborhoods and M2 Heavy Industrial areas located south of Los Coches Street and west of Interstate 680 and the adjacent M2 Heavy Industrial area located west of South Hillview Drive; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared a Zoning Amendment (“Amendment”) to the City’s Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, on October 26, 2022, the Planning Commission of the City of Milpitas held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment and consider the proposed Amendment, take public testimony, and recommended the City Council approve the project; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code § XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, and specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 1-1 (Support a full spectrum of conveniently located residential, commercial, public, and quasi-public uses that support a nd enhance business development and regional transportation objectives and promote the livability of residential neighborhoods), because the Project will allow a larger variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and light industrial uses at the project site. The change promotes the livability of the adjacent residential neighborhood to the east because the types of uses allowed under the M1 Light Industrial Zoning District are more compatible than the uses allowed under the existing M2 Heavy Industrial Z oning Direct.

Creating a safety and noise buffer between low -density residential and heavy industrial uses will enhance the livability of the residential neighborhoods and the existing mix of uses along South Hillview Drive; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code § XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, and specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 1-7 (Recognize that the Land Use Map may be amended in accordance wit h State law to ensure that there is an adequate supply of commercial, business park, industrial, public facility, parks, residential, and other desired land uses to serve the City’s needs), because the Project allows a variety of commercial, medical, quasi- public, while also preserving the City’s industrial land to serve the City’s needs. The proposed zone change will allow staff to better implement City policies and actions. It will also allow the property owner/landlord a wider range or potential commercial and light industrial tenants in the existing multi-tenant buildings on the site; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code § XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein to be consistent with the General Plan, an d specifically with Land Use Element Policy LU 5-6 (In existing industrial and manufacturing areas adjacent to neighborhoods and other sensitive receptors, promote clean creative industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and do not create 264

nuisances such as noise and odors), because the Project creates an appropriate buffer between the existing Low- Density Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and the Heavy Industrial zones to the south and west. Rezoning the parcels to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more compatible with the existing building sizes and site design. The M1 Light Industrial zoning designation and its allowable types of uses are more appropriate for the project site due to its proximity to sensitive receptors and the residential neighborhood; and WHEREAS, per Milpitas Municipal Code § XI-10-57.02(G)(3), the City Council likewise finds that the Zoning Amendment set forth herein will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare, in that the Project, as the new zoning designation will create a safety buffer between the R1 Low -Density Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and M2 Heavy Industrial areas to the west and south. Moreover, the zoning change from M2 Heavy Industrial to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and clean light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more appropriate for the project site and the public health, safety and welfare of nearby residents, workers, and customers; and WHEREAS, this ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (projects consistent with the General Plan) and Section 15061(b)(3) (no possibility of significant environmental effect); and

WHEREAS, as a separate and independent basis, the City Council hereby finds and determines that the project is exempt from further CEQA review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15183 (projects consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. AMENDMENT OF MILPITAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE XI, CHAPTER 10, SECTION 3.03
Title XI, Chapter 10, Section 3.03 (“Zoning Map”) is hereby amended, as attached hereto in Exhibit 1.

SECTION 3. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FINDINGS (XI-10-57.02)
The City Council makes the following findings based on the evidence in the public record in support of Zoning Amendment No. ZA22-0006:

A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan.

The proposed amendment is consistent with the Milpitas General Plan because the new zoning designation creates an appropriate safety buffer between the R1 Low -Density Single-Family Residential and M2 Heavy Industrial zones along Hillview Drive. This zone change allows for more appropriate uses, such as a variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public uses, as well as clean light industrial uses to operate at the project site.

B. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare. 265
Item # 18.
4 Ordinance No. XX.XXX

The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare, as the new zoning designation will create a safety buffer between the R1 Low-Density Single-Family Residential neighborhoods to the east and M2 Heavy Industrial areas to the west and south. Moreover, the zoning change from M2 Heavy Industrial to M1 Light Industrial will allow a wider variety of commercial, medical, quasi-public, and clean light industrial uses that are environmentally sustainable and more appropriate for the project site and the public health, safety and welfare of nearby residents, workers, and customers.

SECTION 4. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Based on its review of the entire record, including the staff report, public comments and testimony presented to the Planning Commission and City Council, and the facts outlined below, the City Council hereby finds and determines that this ordinance is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3), also known as the “common sense exemption”, which exempts from CEQA any project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. A “significant effect on the environment” means a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project.

This ordinance would enact changes to land use designations. Further, none of the proposed amendments would directly or indirectly result in physical changes to the environment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.

Moreover, the City Council hereby finds that the introduction and adoption of this Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning). Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines provides that projects t hat are consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan or Zoning for which an EIR has been certified “shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.” These proposed zoning amendments are consistent with the Milpitas General Plan because new zoning designation creates an appropriate safety buffer between the R1 Low- Density Single-Family Residential and M2 Heavy Industrial zones along Hillview Drive. This zone change allows for more appropriate uses, such as a variety of commercial, medical, quasi -public uses, as well as clean light industrial uses to operate at the project site.

Therefore, the proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines.

Accordingly, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, each as a separate and independent basis.

SECTION 5. SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this Ordinance are separable, and the invalidity of any phrase, clause, provision, or part has no effect on the validity of the remainder.

SECTION 6. EFFECTIVE DATE AND POSTING
In accordance with Section 36937 of the Government Code of the State of California, this Ordinance takes effect 30 days from the date of its passage. The City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to cause this Ordinance or a summary thereof to be published in accordance wit h Section 36933 of the Government Code of the State of California.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing and Introduce an Ordinance Amending Section 13 “Special Uses” of Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code Relating to Outdoor Dining (Staff Contact: Ned Thomas, Planning Director, 408- 586-3273)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: (1) Conduct a public hearing and move to close the hearing following comments; (2) City Attorney shall read aloud the title of the Ordinance; and (3) Move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce an Ordinance adding Subsection 13.19 “Outdoor Dining” to Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code Relating to Outdoor Dining Areas and determine the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

Background:

The proposed ordinance will establish standards for the location, design, and operation of outdoor dining areas in conjunction with restaurants and cafés throughout the city. These regulations will build upon and formalize the City’s Temporary Outdoor Dining Program that was established during the COVID -19 pandemic to help offset State-enacted restrictions on indoor dining. Under the proposed ordinance , restaurant owners or managers would be required to obtain approval of a Minor Site Development Permit for new outdoor dining areas, including the continuation of existing spaces created during COVID -19. The intent of the new regulations for permanent outdoor dining is to clarify and enhance the previous temporary standard s and to encourage restaurants in Milpitas to provide safe, attractive, and well -designed spaces for customers to enjoy an al fresco dining experience, thereby promoting vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, high-amenity commercial areas in the city.

The proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment would add a new Subsection 13.19 “Outdoor Dining” under Section 13 “Special Uses” of Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code . The proposed regulations will allow outdoor dining within specific off-street parking areas adjacent to a restaurant or café or on privately owned walkways, plazas, patios, and other outdoor spaces. In Milpitas, most outdoor dining areas are located on private property, often within parking lots for either “stand -alone” restaurants or restaurants in commercial shopping centers, so this ordinance amendment does not address outdoor dining areas in the public right-of-way (e.g., public sidewalks, on-street parking spaces, etc.). However, anticipating that interest in adding outdoor dining areas within the public right -of-way may increase as new, higher -density and mixed -use development occurs within the city, the Planning Department intends to prepare regulations for outdoor dining in the public right-of-way as part of the forthcoming comprehensive zoning update.

Overview of Draft Ordinance:

The proposed ordinance amendment will add a ne w Subsection with specific regulations relating to Outdoor Dining to Section 13 “Special Uses” to Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code). The new subsection would provide a definition for the term “outdoor dining area,” and these areas would be permitted in any zoning district where restaurants and cafés are permitted . Outdoor dining would be allowed on existing private sidewalks and walkways, patios, plazas, and off-street parking spaces (except required ADA-accessible spaces) adjacent to the restaurant or cafe. The proposed regul ations would require safe and appropriate 272 Item # 19.

setbacks from parking areas, vehicular drive aisles, and utilities, as well as maintaining sufficient paths of travel for pedestrians. Outdoor dining areas would also be required to maintain a two -foot setback from adjacent parking spaces and a five -foot wide pedestrian walkway from parking areas and public sidewalks to building entrances. In addition, they would be prohibited within required loading zones and stormwater treatment areas and must comply with all Fire Code requirements for emergency access.

Reduced Parking
The proposed regulations would allow a reduction in required off-street parking to accommodate outdoor dining areas occupying spaces previously used as parking stalls. In many of the City’s multi-tenant shopping centers and other commercial areas, the amount of off-street parking provided exceeds the actual parking demand (and in some cases exceeds the number of off-street parking spaces required by the City’s zoning regulations). Under the draft ordinance, in the Mixed Use Zoning District (MXD), High -Density Mixed Use Zoning District (MXD2), and Very High-Density Mixed Use Zoning District (MXD3), as well as in commercial zones within the Milpitas Transit Area (future Metro Milpitas) Specific Plan and Milpitas Main Street (future Gateway) Specific Plan areas, the off-street parking requirements stated in Subsection XI-10-53.09 of the zoning code could be reduced by up to 50 percent to accommodate outdoor dining areas in existing parking areas.

Consistent with Assembly Bill 2097, which was signed into law by Governor Newsom on September 22, 2022, and will become effective on January 1, 2023, no minimum parking requirements would apply to restaurants (or other commercial uses) located within one-half (½) mile of a major transit stop (a bus or rail transit stop with a service frequency interval of 15 minutes or less during morning and afternoon peak hours). Therefore, a restaurant within one -half (½) mile of a major transit stop would be able to r eplace any number of off -street parking spaces (other than required ADA-accessible spaces) with outdoor dining areas. In all other areas of the City, off-street parking requirements could be reduced by up to 15 percent to accommodate outdoor dining spaces of 800 square feet or less.

Safety and Design Standards
The draft ordinance also sets design standards for outdoor dining areas to ensure that these areas are safe and visually attractive , with any permanent seating or additions made from high -quality, d urable materials . A substantial barrier would be required to separate outdoor dining areas from adjacent vehicular drive aisles and parking spaces. Appropriate barrier materials outlined in the regulations include wood or iron railings or fencing, decorative concrete barriers, and large planter boxes. Prohibited barrier materials include chain link fencing, corrugated metal, stanchions, retractable belts, screens, and small planters. Plywood or other unfinished materials used for barriers must be painted, stained, or covered with a finished surface. Solid portions of barriers would be limited to three feet in height; plexiglass or other transparent materials up to six feet in height could be placed on top of solid barriers.

Outdoor dining areas would be permitted to incorporate permanent overhead shade structures with a maximum height of 12 feet (e.g., pergolas) made of high-quality wood or metal, as well as non-permanent shade equipment such as awnings or umbrellas. Awnings and umbrellas would be allowed to display the name and logo of the restaurant, but other words, images, or advertising would not be permitted. Outdoor dining tables and chairs must also be durable and made of high -quality wood or metal (not inexpensive plastic or vinyl). Lastly, the business owner must incorporate decorative plants or flowers into the outdoor dining areas.

The proposed regulations will require the location and design of outdoor dining areas to comply with accessibility requirements per the Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The draft ordinance includes references to those requirements. Outdoor dining spaces must also comply with the Fire Code regarding fire safety and emergency access requirements. Minor Site Development Permit applications for ou tdoor dining areas would be subject to review and approval by the Milpitas Building and Fire Departments.

273
Item # 19.

Operational Standards
The ordinance establishes basic operational standards for outdoor dining areas. First, hours for outdoor dining would be limited to the restaurant’s general hours for serving meals, and in addition, no earlier than 7:00 am seven days per week and no later than 10:00 pm Sunday through Thursday (until 11:00 pm Friday and Saturday). Second, restaurant owners or managers would need approval from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (generally, a minor modification to the establishment’s current ABC license is required) to serve alcohol in outdoor dining areas. Third, smoking would be prohibited in outdoor dining areas, as would food storage and preparation. Lastly, basic maintenance requirements for outdoor dining areas are outlined in the draft ordinance, intended to ensure that these spaces are kept clean and in a good state of repair and that plants and landscaping are well maintained.

Planning Commission Recommendation:

The Planning Commission considered the proposed zoning text amendment at its regularly scheduled public meeting on October 26 , 2022. Following discussion and public comment, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend that the City Council adopt the ordinance related to permanent outdoor dining amendments. T he Commission’s resolution in favor of adoption of the proposed ordinance is attached (Attachment B).

Policy Alternative(s):

Alternative: Do not adopt the ordinance regarding regulations for permanent outdoor dining facilities in Title XI, Chapter 10 of the Milpitas Municipal Code. Existing restaurants and cafés would be required to remove their temporary outdoor dining facilities and would be unable to provide outdoor dining amenities in areas designated for vehicle parking.

Pros: By not approving the proposed ordinance, parking spaces would remain exclusively free and clear for vehicle parking.

Cons: Restaurants and cafés would not be able to expand their operations with minimal investment. High-quality outdoor dining areas that could encourage attractive and well-designed spaces for customers to enjoy an open- air dining experience, thereby promoting lively, pedestrian-oriented, high-amenity commercial areas in Milpitas, would be more difficult to establish.

Reason for Not Recommending: The amendments associated with permanent outdoor dining regulations will foster a high-quality outdoor eating experience for Milpitas restaurants and cafés, while preserving the health, safety, and welfare of the business owners and patrons.

Fiscal Impact:

The proposed zoning ordinance amendment will create permanent outdoor dining regulations for the City’s mixed-use and commercial zone, in effect, increasing dining area and customer capacity for restaurants and cafes. Increased dining area equates to the potential of increased sales tax revenue for the City. Furthermore, all permanent outdoor dining areas will require a Minor Site Development Permit and potential building permit, which includes a fee to be paid to the City.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

The proposed text amendment to the Milpitas Municipal Code is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

This ordinance would create new regulations related to outdoor dining in conjunction with restaurants and cafés (which are existing permitted uses in commercial areas under the zoning ordinance). It would enact standards for the location, siting, design, and operational elements of outdoor dining that are comparable to standards for 274 Item # 19.

other commercial land uses, and staff-level approval of a minor Site Development Permit would be required to ensure that outdoor dining areas comply with all applicable requirements. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, the ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.

Recommendation:
1) Conduct a public hearing and move to close the hearing following comments. 2) City Attorney shall read aloud title of the Ordinance. 3) Move to waive the first reading beyond the title and introduce an Ordinance adding Subsection 13.19 “Outdoor Dining” to Chapter 10 “Zoning” of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code Relating to Outdoor Dining Areas and determine the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183 (Projects Consistent with a General Plan) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption)

(“CEQA”), each as a separate and independent basis, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (projects consistent with the General Pla n) and Section 15061(b)(3) (no possibility of significant environmental effect).

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Milpitas does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. RECORD AND BASIS FOR ACTION
The City Council has duly considered the full record before it, which may include but is not limited to such things as the City staff report, testimony by staff and the public, and other materials and evidence submitted or provided to the City Council. Furthermore, the recitals set forth above are found to be true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
This ordinance is categorically exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Secction 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), which exempts from CEQA any project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. 278
Item # 19.
4 Ordinance No. XX.XXX

This ordinance would create new regulations related to outdoor dining in conjunction with restaurants and cafés (which are existing permitted uses in commercial areas under the zoning ordinance). It would enact standards for the location, siting, design, and operational elements of outdoor dining that are comparable to standards for other commercial land uses, and City staff review would be required to ensure that outdoor dining areas are appropriately designed and maintained and that they comply with all applicable requirements. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment; accordingly, this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.

As a separate and independent basis, this Ordinance is a;sp categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning). The proposed zoning amendments serve to implement several goals and policies in the Land Use and Community Design Elements by allowing safe, well-designed outdoor dining areas in appropriate locations to support Milpitas restaurants and cafes while also promoting active commercial areas . Therefore, the proposed Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and is exempt from CEQA review.

SECTION 3. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Land Use and Community Design Elements of the City’s General Plan include several policies and actions related to supporting local business development and promoting vibrant, li vable commercial areas in Milpitas through land use standards and design guidelines that allow public gathering places, outdoor uses and amenities, and high-quality design in both the public and private realms. The proposed municipal code amendments would facilitate implementation of these policies by permitting and encouraging outdoor dining in well -designed and appropriately located spaces in commercial districts. Allowing high-quality outdoor dining spaces on a permanent basis would contribute to vibrant, visually appealing, and pedestrian-oriented commercial areas in Milpitas.

SECTION 4. AMENDEMENT TO MILPITAS MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE XI, CHAPTER 10 Section 13 (“Special Uses”) of Chapter 10 (“Zoning”) of Title XI of the Milpitas Municipal Code is hereby amended to add Subsection 13.19 as follows:

XI-10-13.19 – Outdoor Dining

Item Title: Conduct a Public Hearing and Adopt a Resolution Certifying Election Results and Adding the Property Located at 1724 Sunnyhills Drive – Parcel 2 into Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Annexation No. 22) (Staff Contact: Steve Erickson, Engineering Director / City Engineer, 408-586-3301; and Roberto Alonzo, Principal Civil Engineer, 408-586-3316)
Category: Public Hearings-Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Conduct a public hearing and, following receipt of election results from the City Clerk, adopt a resolution certifying election Results and adding the property located at 1724 Sunnyhills Drive – Parcel 2 into Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Annexation No. 22).

BACKGROUND:

On October 14, 2020, the Planning Commission approved a Planned Unit Development Amendment (PA19- 0002), Site Development Permit (SD18-0004), Tree Removal Permit (TR19-0028) and the Environmental Assessment (EA20-0005) for improvement of a portion of a 12.66-acre site located at 1724 Sunnyhills Drive (Project). The developer, Sunnyhills Investors, LLC, will construct 44 new units to the existing 171-unit Multi- Family Dwelling Complex. Work includes the demolition and reconstruction of a leasing/community building, construction of an additional 87 tenant parking spaces, new driveway to connect an existing drive aisle to a new Fire Access Road, and associated improvements. A Project Condition of Approval requires that the portion of the Projects 12.66-acre parcel to be improved through construction of 44 new dwelling units be annexed into Community Facilities District (CFD 2005-1) prior to building occupancy, and the 12.66-acre parcel was subdivided to complete the annexation process.

ANALYSIS:

The Projects 12.66-acre parcel was subdivided and the Parcel Map for the subdivision was filed with the County of Santa Clara Recorder on July 21, 2022, in Book 948 of Maps, Pages 32-36. The newly created Parcel 2 is currently vacant and is subject to the CFD annexation process as CFD Annexation No.22. The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters has certified there are no registered voters residing within the boundaries of Parcel 2. Sunnyhills Investors, LLC, as the sole property owner, will vote to agree to CFD Annexation No. 22 on November 15, 2022. Following receipt of election results from the City Clerk, staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution (Attached) documenting the results of the election on Annexation No. 22 into CFD 2005-1. The annexation into CFD 2005-1 is subject to the provisions of the Mello- Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, commencing with Section 53311 of the Government Code. While the Act has a number of requirements for annexation and imposition of the special tax, the Developer (as the sole landowner within the annexation territory) has agreed to waive many of the formalities. A copy of the waiver executed by the Developer is on file with the City Clerk.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1:

Deny Annexation No. 22 of Parcel 2 in to CFD 2005-1.

Pros: None

Cons: Denying the Annexation into the CFD No. 2005-1 would prevent the City from levying and collecting special taxes to fund public improvements and services service this development. 292
Item # 20.

Reason for Not Recommending: To adequately fund the perpetual maintenance of public improvements and services serving this development, staff recommends adoption of the Resolution certifying election results and approving CFD 2005-1 Annexation No. 22 adding Parcel 2 to the CFD.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adding the Projects Parcel 2 into CFD No. 2005-1 will allow the City to levy and collect special taxes to fund public improvements and services serving this new development.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

This project is in compliance with CEQA Guidelines section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) in that an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) conducted an environmental assessment of the project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) titled “Sunnyhills Project Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration” (IS/MND). On September 17, 2020, the city posted a Notice of Intent to adopt a mitigated negative declaration to the City’s website and the Project Site.

The IS/MND was available for public review from September 17, 2020, through October 7, 2020.

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct a public hearing and, following receipt of election results from the City Clerk, adopt a resolution certifying election Results and adding the property located at 1724 Sunnyhills Drive – Parcel 2 into Community Facilities District No. 2005-1 (Annexation No. 22).

Item Title: Receive a Report on the Homekey Project at 1000 Hillview Court (Staff Contact:

Ashwini Kantak, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3056)
Category: Community Development
Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendations: Receive a Report on the Homekey Project at 1000 Hillview Court

BACKGROUND:

On July 16, 2020, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) announced the release of the Project Homekey Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for $600 million to purchase and rehabilitate housing, including hotels, motels, vacant apartment buildings and other buildings, and convert them into interim or permanent, long-term housing.

The County of Santa Clara’s Office of Supportive Housing (County) and Jamboree Housing Corporation (Jamboree) jointly applied for and received Homekey funding to convert a hotel at 1000 Hillview Court into a 132-unit permanent supportive housing development (Hillview Court).

The project was funded through a combination of $29.2M in Homekey grant funding, $21.9M in 2016 Measure A funding from the County as a residual receipts loan and up to $25M in 2016 Measure A funding from the County as a bridge loan. The project is also supported with 132 Section 8 Project Based Vouchers from the Santa Clara County Housing Authority. Finally, the County provides approximately $1.7M in ongoing funding for supportive services and currently contracts with Abode Services.

The conversion of Hillview Court has taken place in two phases. The first phase included minimal interior repairs and leasing of 50% of the units to both meet the Homekey deadlines and to afford Jamboree sufficient space to complete the necessary improvements to the building. Tenants of the first phase started to move in December 2020 and slowly started to move out to other buildings in August 2021. The second phase of the project included the permanent conversion of the property and tenants of the second phase started to move in September 2021. Additional security elements and some facility improvements are anticipated to be completed by 2023.

As of November 1, 2022, the Project is at 93% occupancy, with 123 of the 132 units occupied. The remaining units are expected to be occupied by February 2023. Ten residents are affiliated with Milpitas while the remaining are affiliated with other cities and towns in the County.

Jamboree, as the Property and Project Owner, is responsible for the overall management and oversight of the property including property management and resident services. Jamboree contracts with Hyder for property management and security services, and contracts with Housing with Heart to provide resident services. The County is primarily responsible for providing referrals to the 132 units and to ensure that tenants are provided supportive services in accordance with the Supportive Housing Services Plan. These respective roles are memorialized in a No Cost Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Jamboree. The County provides intensive case management services at a ratio of 1 case manager for every 20 tenants.

On site services include educational and social activities and linkage to resources such as job training, health insurance, food programs, and government resources. Referrals are made to off-site services such as drug 299 Item # 21.

and alcohol rehabilitation and mental health services, however these services are not provided on-site. The role of the case manager is to develop client-centered service plans to obtain and retain housing, improve health conditions, improve daily living activities and to achieve long-term stability. In addition, the case manager provides care coordination including assisting clients with transportation needs.

In June 2022, several members of the City Council requested periodic updates for this Project. An update was provided at the August 16, 2022 (https://www.milpitas.gov/_pdfs/council/2022/081622/Attachments.pdf), City Council meeting; this report provides the second quarterly report.

At the August 16, 2022, City Council meeting, Jamboree, the Project owner provided information on the Project including capital improvements, occupancy and on-site supportive services, roles and responsibilities of the County, Owner, and Property Manager, and enforcement of lease agreement terms. Representatives from the County, Owner, and Property Manager answered several City Council questions including a request to provide additional information about the supportive services offered on site and to include success stories during the next update.

Police and Fire staff provided information about the significant increase in recent calls for service compared to historic data at the same site. Information was presented on types of calls for service, number of events in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and average time spent on events.

Based on the information presented, Council expressed concerns about the trend in increased calls for service and its impact on public safety resources and asked the Project team to consider improving services offered on-site, installing a fence to mitigate impact on the businesses in the adjoining business park, and tightening the enforcement process to ensure compliance with the lease terms and safety of the residents. Council also directed staff to prepare a letter for members of the City Council to send to Santa Clara County Supervisor Lee requesting funding for one police officer and an additional on-site case manager.

ANALYSIS:

This staff report provides information on updates related to the Project since August 2022. The updated calls for service data will be presented at the November 15 City Council meeting.

On August 31, 2022, a letter (Attachment 1) was sent on behalf of the City Council to Supervisor Otto Lee’s office requesting funding for one police officer and increased staffing in the County’s Office of Supportive Housing to proactively address issues at 1000 Hillview. The City has not yet received a response from the County.

On November 1, 2022, City staff from the City Manager’s Office, Police, Fire Prevention, Office of Economic Development, and Housing met at the Project site with the Project team. Potential options for fencing were evaluated based on fire access, spatial configuration, and functionality. The Project team is currently planning the next phase of capital improvements and feasibility analysis regarding fencing between the site and the business park is under discussion. A fence between the site and the adjoining Embassy Suites hotel does not appear to be feasible because the hotel has a driveway easement, and a fence would significantly reduce their parking as currently configured. Furthermore, the concerns about trespassing have been raised in the business park not the hotel, thus there does not appear to be a need for a fence separating the Project site from the hotel. Staff are continuing to conduct outreach to the business park tenants to better understand the trespassing issues and will work with the Project team on addressing them. In addition to the fence, the Project team will be adjusting camera angles to increase coverage, installing additional cameras for a total of 67 interior and exterior cameras and adding additional lighting in corridors.

Since August 2022, Jamboree and Abode Services have also implemented new tools and new staff hours, enhanced coordination efforts, and provided new programming onsite.

New tools include: a “Who to Call” Document that empowers residents with knowledge of accessible resources other than 911, implementation of a walkie-talkie safety protocol to promote real-time response, clear 300
Item # 21.

communication, and safety for staff and residents, and a “Calls to Service” log from the police department as well an in-house log in order to better coordinate service efforts with residents.

New staff hours have been implemented by Abode Services. On-site staff hours have been expanded to cover Monday through Friday 9am to 8pm. On December 15, staff hours will also be expanded to Saturdays from 9am to 5 pm.

Abode Services is in the process of hiring additional staff to accommodate additional programming. New programming and services include:

1. Community Clean Up to decrease complaints from commercial neighbors and help residents feel a sense of pride in their community.

2. Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous groups will be starting up onsite on December 15 to decrease overdose (OD) related calls

3. Increased Harm Reduction programming to reduce negative impacts from harmful behaviors,

4. No-Cost Uber rides are now available for medical appointments to decrease calls to 911 for non- emergency medical needs

Additionally, Safe Community Collaboration Meetings are being planned in coordination with the Police and Fire departments in order to decrease calls for service. Jamboree is also hosting bi-weekly meetings with Hyder, Abode Services, County staff, and the Police and Fire departments to help collaborate and address ongoing issues in real time and facilitate better coordination on follow up related to tenant issues.

In October 2022, the Project also changed the on-foot security company to Good Guards.

At the November 15 City Council meeting, representatives from the County, Jamboree, and Hyder will be in attendance. Jamboree will provide an update including current occupancy status, planned future capital improvements, and any modifications to management and oversight roles and responsibilities, and enforcement process for compliance terms of lease agreements. Abode Services will also provide a summary of the supportive services they offer and a few tenant stories.

Police Department staff will present crime statistics from January 2020 through October 2022 including the number of calls for service, types of calls for service, and officer-initiated activity. Fire Department staff will also provide information about calls for service from January 2020 through October 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with receiving this report. However, the increased volume of Police and Fire calls for service at this site impacts response times to the rest of the Milpitas community and may necessitate investment in additional public safety resources in the future.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

Not applicable.

Supervisor Otto Lee via E-Mail:

County of Santa Clara District 3 Wendy Ho, Chief of Staff 70 W. Hedding Street [email protected]
10th Floor
San Jose, CA 95110

SUBJECT: Project Homekey Public Safety Resources Impact

Dear Supervisor Lee,

On behalf of the City Council, we are writing this letter to you to seek compensation for the significantly increased public safety response related to Project Homekey.

As you know, the County of Santa Clara and Jamboree Housing Corporation (Jamboree) jointly applied for and received Homekey funding to convert a hotel at 1000 Hillview Court into a 132-unit permanent supportive housing development (Hillview Court). The conversion of Hillview Court has taken place in two phases. Tenants of the first phase started to move in December 2020. As of August 9, 2022, the project is at 90% occupancy, with 120 of the 132 units occupied. The remaining units are expected to be occupied by October. As the number of tenants increased the City experienced a corresponding increase in public safety calls for services.

Specifically, as you can see from the attached slide deck, which was presented to Council at the August 16, 2022 City Council meeting, Police calls for service including officer-initiated activities increased by 155 calls for services, or 93.9%, from 165 in 2020 to 320 for just the first seven months in 2022. The majority of the calls for service in 2022 were related to welfare checks, disorderly conduct and disturbance calls, and suspicious activity calls. Similarly, Fire calls for services increased by 57 calls for services, or 190%, from 30 calls in 2020 to 87 for the first seven months in 2022. This increased demand for public safety services, which is expected to continue to rise once all Project Homekey units are occupied, has impacted the City’s public safety response system. Therefore, as discussed by the City Council, the City needs to be reimbursed for the additional public safety cost incurred by Project Homekey activity.

As detailed in the attached Information Memorandum, by the end of 2022, the City is expected to incur about $463,000 in public safety costs related to Project Homekey, an increase of $349,000, or 300%, in comparison to CY 2020 costs of $114,000. In other words, the City expects the cost for Fire Calls for Service to more than double and the cost for Police Calls for Service to increase by over 500% by year-end given the calls for service experience during the first seven months of 2022.

302
Item # 21.

RE: Project Homekey Public Safety Resources Impact Page 2 of 2 August 31, 2022

Given that the majority of the $349,000 in estimated cost increases related to Project Homekey have been in the Police Department, the City expects to receive funding for FY 2022-23 retroactive to July 1, 2022, in the amount of $293,000 for a new Police Officer position and, unless calls for services significantly reduce to pre-Project Homekey levels, this funding shall be continued annually. Further, the City Council requested that the County add staff capacity in the Office of Supportive Housing to proactively address issues at Project Homekey.

Sincerely,

Carmen Montano Evelyn Chua
Vice Mayor Councilmember

As stated in the staff report, the Jamboree Housing Corporation (Jamboree) with funding from the State of California and Measure A acquired and converted a hotel at 1000 Hillview Court into a 132-unit permanent supportive housing development (Hillview Court). The conversion of Hillview Court has taken place in two phases. Tenants of the first phase started to move in December 2020 and slowly started to move out to other buildings in August 2021. The second phase of the project included the permanent conversion of the property and tenants of the second phase started to move in September 2021. As of August 9, 2022, the project is at 90% occupancy, with 120 of the 132 units occupied. The remaining units are expected to be occupied by October.

C
alls for Service Estimated Cost
As part of the report to Council regarding the Homekey Project, staff presented public safety calls for services data for calendar year 2020, 2021 and 2022. Data for 2020 was included as a reference prior to conversion of site from a hotel to a supportive housing development.

B
ased on typical deployments of public safety staff to the types of incidents presented at the City Council meeting, staff calculated the estimated costs using the City Cost Allocation Plans most closely aligned to the respective calendar years. The cost allocation plans capture the fully burdened cost for each classification deployed to the Homekey Project such as police officers or firefighter/paramedics and supporting an incident such as a police lieutenant, fire battalion chief or dispatcher. Further, the fire apparatus cost related to the deployment is added using the California Office of Emergency Services apparatus hourly reimbursement rates.

A
s summarized in the table below, in comparison to Calendar Year (CY) 2020, the cost for just seven months in CY 2022 more than doubled. Extrapolating the CY 2022 seven months of costs incurred to the full calendar year, which would amount to $463,000, the City is expecting to incur an additional public safety cost related to Project Homekey in the amount of $349,000 in increase of a 300% increase in comparison to CY 2020. The cost for Fire Calls for Service increased by 108%; however, the cost for Police Calls for Service increased by 526%. 304

Next Steps
Staff will continue to track the staff hours related to Project Homekey calls for services and related cost information to the City Council as part of the requested quarterly Project Homekey Calls for Services reports. Further, per Council direction, and given that the majority of the $349,000 in estimated cost increases related to Project Homekey have been in the Police Department, staff will prepare a letter for the Vice Mayor Montano and Councilmember Chua on behalf of the City Council to be sent to Supervisor Otto Lee requesting funding for a Police Officer position plus related non-personal expenditures in the amount of $293,000.

Supportive Housing combines affordable housing
with specific supportive services designed to
help individuals and/or families live
independently with support.

This type of housing is effective for individuals
and families who have experienced
homelessness and those with other special
needs or disabilities.

Supportive services provided onsite offer care
coordination, life skills support and assistance
with requirements of living independently. If
residents require clinical treatment or counseling
services for behavioral health or physical health
care, services staff coordinate the resident

Abode & Hyder
• Services can support PM by helping them work with residents on behavioral issues and crises. • PM can report observable behavior from residents when services is not present. • Services must comply with resident confidentiality requirements, but can creatively communicate with PM to express needs of a resident. When appropriate, services can obtain a release of information to discuss certain topics with PM.
• It is important that PM and services maintain at least bi-weekly meetings to discuss resident issues and coordinate plans. It is critical that both parties are on the same page and in the know about what is going on.

Abode & Hyder & Jamboree
• It is PM responsibility to enforce the lease, write notices, and serve notices. Jamboree has the ultimate responsibility to review eviction processes with the purpose of ensuring that the best outcome for the resident and the property is achieved.
• Services responsibility is to follow-up with residents and help residents process the notices and work towards compliance.
• Property Management reviews its planned resident communications with the services team and Jamboree staff to ensure internal coordination.

Roles and Responsibilities
323
Item # 21.

Any behavior that violates the terms of the lease agreement that results in a threat to the right of all residents to “quiet enjoyment” of their residence or to the health and safety of the resident(s) can and does result in a move to evict the resident.

The intent of this form of housing is to afford an environment where formerly homeless persons can receive support to live in community with others. Jamboree seeks to avoid evictions wherever possible as housing options for this population are extremely limited.

Hillview Court has successfully exited some residents to other housing/residential options when their behavior or lease violations create an unacceptable risk to health, safety or the well-being of the Hillview Court residents in total.

Enforcement of Lease
324
Item # 21.

Property Management will formally notify services staff of lease violation. • Property management enforces lease
• Services notified of formal lease violation prior to delivering to resident • Services and PM determine if services needs to be present for violation delivering. • Services and Property Management share goal of remediation of lease violation behavior when possible.
• PM and services review any concerns with residents jointly to create a solution • PM follows-up with legal counsel as needed
• Proceeding to a formal eviction is the responsibility of property management (Hyder). This action is taken in consultation with Abode and Jamboree to ensure close coordination to manage the households exit to avoid, if possible, another episode of unsheltered homelessness.
• Eviction processes are required to follow State and Federal law. Eviction processes are reviewed by property management legal counsel and require a prescribed process.

CITY OF MILPITAS

AGENDA REPORT
(AR)

Item Title: Approve the Prioritization of Additional Workplan Items City Council Policy (Staff Contact: Ashwini Kantak, Assistant City Manager, 408-586-3053; Walter C.

Rossmann, Deputy City Manager, 408-586-3012)

Category: Leadership and Support Services

Meeting Date: 11/15/2022
Recommendation: Approve the Prioritization of Additional Workplan Items City Council Policy.

BACKGROUND:

The City Council considers City priorities and associated workplan items as part of the annual budget process.

However, outside of the budget process, individual members of the City Council may want to bring forward additional workplan items for consideration by the full Council. Currently, these items are requested by Members of the Council at City Council meetings, under the Announcements section. These items are placed on a list for a future Council discussion and action. On January 19, 2021, at a Special City Council meeting, in order to streamline the process, Council provided direction to staff to bring forward individual Council agenda item requests to Council, for prioritization, on a quarterly basis.

Since the beginning of this process, during five (5) Prioritization Sessions, the City Council has reviewed 292 items and approved 50 additional workplan items. During the last prioritization session, which was held on September 6, 2022, the City Council directed staff to return to the City Council in November 2022 with a City Council Policy formalizing the prioritization of additional workplan items initiated by Members of the City Council outside of the budget process.

ANALYSIS:

Consistent with Council direction, staff is bringing forward the attached draft Prioritization of Additional Workplan Items City Council Policy. Below, please find a summary discussion of the Policy including the purpose, policy statements, definitions and procedures.

As stated under the Purpose of the draft City Council Policy, the City Council recognizes that annually through the budget process department workplans are funded and approved and staff resources are budgeted and approve to execute these specific workplans with no capacity for other major requests. Further, the draft City Council Policy formalizes the process for requesting and approving additional workplan items requested by Members of the City Council consistent with the City Council approved Procedures and Protocols Handbook - specifically Chapter II, Section D titled “ Duties of Mayor and Councilmembers,” Subsection 6 titled “Requests for Staff Resources,” and Chapter V, Section A titled “Agenda Order,” Subsection 4 titled “Announcements and Future Agenda Items.”

Reflective of City Council practice, the Policy Statements of the draft Policy are as follows:
 Members of the City Council workplan item requests to consider new programs, services, or requests for significant allocations of resources, shall be directed to the budget process to the maximum extent possible.
 From time to time, Members of the City Council may bring forward new workplan item requests for staff as part of the “Announcements and Future Agenda Items” section of the City Council meeting agenda.  Individual City Councilmember workplan item requests are initially approved by consensus of the City Council.
 The City Manager determines whether a workplan item is a minor or major workplan item.  Minor workplan items, approved by consensus, are referred to the City Manager for execution. 346
Item # 22.

 A report of workplan items status is placed on the City Council meeting agenda. Although a status report is currently placed on every City Council agenda, staff is recommending bringing this update to Council as part of the quarterly prioritization process.
 Major workplan items, initially approved by consensus, will be placed on the agenda for Council discussion and prioritization on a quarterly basis.

To bring clarity to the Policy, the Policy defines:
 An additional or new workplan item request (herein referred as workplan item request) as an expansion of an existing program or service or a new program or service; it does not include routine administrative or operational tasks funded through the annual budget or compilation of data which is readily available through existing report functionalities of City systems.  Minor workplan item requests generally require less than four hours of staff time to complete the task/project.
 Major workplan item requests generally require four or more hours of staff time to complete the task/project.

Finally, the draft Policy outlines the process for Members of the City Council requesting and approving additional workplan item requests and the City Manager’s responsibilities, including but not limited to  evaluating the staff time needed to complete workplan item requests  classifying requests as minor or major workplan item requests.  ensuring completion of minor workplan item requests while minimizing impact on existing operations given available staff capacity.
 preparing for the quarterly prioritization discussion for new potential major workplan items

As part of the quarterly prioritization discussion, the City Manager shall:
 provide sufficient detail for each new potential major workplan item, including but not limited to description of work effort, any actions taken to date, estimated resources and cost to complete the work, potential funding source, clarification or direction sought from Council, and other additional considerations including estimated time of completion and impacts on other workplan items.  evaluate the number of new potential major workplan item requests, the status of Council approved major workplan items including workplan items approved through the annual budget, and staff capacity.  limit, based on the aforementioned evaluation, the number of new workplan items between 30% to 50% of all City Council new workplan items requested during the last quarter.  provide an update on previously approved items, including items underway and completed during the last quarter.

Consistent with past practices, the draft Policy stipulates that the City Council, through a structured process, approve by majority vote potential new major workplan items given existing workload and staff capacity. Further, the City Council shall refer all prioritized workplan items, which require a City Council budget appropriation action, to the annual operating or capital improvement program (CIP) budget process.

The Policy outlines various reporting requirements, such as keeping a list of all City Council work requests and their status, including items not approved by the City Council consistent with the City council approved records retention schedule and concludes that any Member of the City Council can bring forward again any workplan item requests, which the City Council did not approve by consensus or prioritize, for City Council consideration consistent with this Policy.

POLICY ALTERNATIVE(S):

Alternative 1: Do not approve the Policy
Pros: None
Cons: The City Council and staff will not be able to rely on a formalized process.

Reason for Not Recommending: The City Council and City Manager have successfully advanced additional high priority workplan items through existing practices and processes as formalized in the draft City Council Policy.
347
Item # 22.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There’s no fiscal impact as this item formalizes existing practices and processes.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA):

This item is not a Project under CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) as it can be seen with certainty that a general discussion of funding priorities by the City Council will not have a significant effect on the environment. Further, the item is also not a Project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) as it is a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Although the use of funding will be discussed for various potential projects, any project scope and potential environmental analysis would be speculative to analyze at this time and future environmental analysis will be conducted for the various potential projects prior to the City making any commitment or approval of any project.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Prioritization of Additional Workplan Items City Council Policy.
