APPROVE ACQUISITION OF SEWER EASEMENT (TSAI) APN 841-09- 061 FOR THE SEWER RELIEF TRUNK LINE PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION(S)

REPORT NARRATIVE:
Hydroscience Engineers, Inc. were initially hired in May 2016 to design a sewer trunk line between Highland Avenue to Cohansey Avenue. The following year, City Council extended the design to Renz Lane in Gilroy, approximately seven miles in total length, to complete the full design. To date, the alignment has been approved by the City of Gilroy City Council and the plans are 98% complete. Excluding the Tsai easement, there are a total of two sewer easements remaining that will need to be acquired by the City of Morgan Hill in order to install the sewer trunk. One easement is needed from PG&E and the other by the City of Gilroy. Staff is currently working with both agencies to acquire these easements. This staff report focuses on the (Tsai) private citizen easement.
6 In September 2021, the City notified the Tsai family that a sewer easement was required for the Sewer Relief Trunk Project. In January 2022, the City made an initial offer to the Tsai family for an appraised value of $45,000, which consisted of 4,046 square feet of easement. The Tsai family reviewed the City's offer and countered with $50,000, citing the appraisal was more then 6 months old and that the property had development potential. Since an updated appraisal cost is $5,000 and takes a few months to prepare, staff concluded that agreeing to their offer is more efficient and avoids high condemnation costs should an agreeable amount not be reached.
Subsequently, a Property Purchase Agreement was prepared and signed by the property owner (Attachment 1). Staff, therefore, recommends that City Council approve the property purchase as: 1) the property is required for the project, 2) the owner is a willing seller, 3) the settlement increase is relatively small, and 4) the cost to litigate would be substantially greater. The purchase price is thus $50,000 plus escrow, closing costs, attorney review fees, and title insurance.
Also attached (Attachment 2) is the Sewer Easement and Maintenance Agreement for County recordation, executed by the owners.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
Numerous community engagement and design meetings were held throughout the early planning and design phases of the project. In addition, the Environmental Report process also included opportunities for the community to provide input regarding the scope, content, and potential environmental impacts from the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
No feasible alternative options. Without the sewer easements, the City would not be able to install the sewer relief trunk line as designed. The current alignment was previously approved by the City of Gilroy. Changing the alignment now would be cost prohibitive and would not guarantee that other easements would not be required.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On May 4, 2016, City Council approved a design agreement with HydroScience Engineers, Inc. for $651,760 for the preparation of design plans and specifications for the sewer trunk segment between Highland and Cohansey.
On April 19, 2017, City Council approved a First Amendment with Hydroscience Engineers, Inc. for $521,900 to accelerate the design and complete the design to Renz Lane in Gilroy.
On December 15, 2021, City Council approved a Fourth Amendment with Hydroscience for an additional $75,000 and approved and certified the project Mitigated Negative Declaration.
On November 16, 2022, City Council approved the acquisition of the Patel sewer
6 easement for the Sewer Relief Trunk Line Project.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Sufficient funds for the $50,000 sewer easement acquisition plus escrow and closing costs have been budgeted for the project. Closing costs are estimated at $2,000 and the Tsai Family has requested the City cover their attorney review fees, which have been identified as a fixed cost of $5,000. Thus, the total price to acquire the easement is roughly $57,000. The project is budgeted in the approved Fiscal Year 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program under CIP #308A08 with $3,000,000 from the Sewer Impact Fund (641).
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
The sewer easement acquisition is not considered a project, as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. However, the Sewer Relief Trunk Line project itself is a project. David J. Powers prepared an Initial Study and the City Council approved and certified a mitigated negative declaration at the December 15, 2021 City Council meeting.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MORGAN
HILL APPROVING A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR A SEWER
EASEMENT (APN 841-09-061) FROM TSAI, FOR THE SEWER RELIEF
TRUNK LINE PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Sewer Relief Trunk Line Project is included in the Fiscal Years 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program under CIP#308A08 with funding budgeted for purchasing right of way and design professional services. The subject property from Undine Tsai, as Trustee, is required in order to construct the project, and therefore in the public’s interest to acquire a portion of the real property for the public Project (Hale Avenue Extension Project); and WHEREAS, on January 20, 2022, the City of Morgan Hill made a voluntary offer to purchase a sewer easement (4,046 square feet) from Undine Tsai, as Trustee, for the appraised value of $45,000 from a state certified MAI appraiser; and WHEREAS, on June 23, 2023, the property owner, Undine Tsai as Trustee signed an Easement Purchase Agreement for an administrative settlement amount of $50,000; and
NOW, THEREFORE, City Council of the City of Morgan Hill, based upon the foregoing and all documents, statements and facts known to City Council, does hereby resolve:
SECTION 1. Approval of Easement Purchase Agreement. City Council approves the Easement Purchase Agreement to acquire a sewer easement (4,046 SF) for a total amount of $50,000 from Udine Tsai as Trustee, see Attachment 1. The Settlement amount of $50,000 plus the escrow, closing costs ($2,000 est.) and attorney fees ($5,000) are hereby approved.
SECTION 2. Authority to City Manager. City Council authorizes the City Manager to execute the Agreement and all documents necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated therein, including without limitation, accepting the Grant Deed. City Council further authorizes the City Manager to make minor modifications to the foregoing described documents which may be necessary to consummate the transactions.

Chris Ghione, Public Services Director
APPROVED BY: City Manager
APPROVE CONTRACTS WITH ANDERSON PACIFIC ENGINEERING
CONSTRUCTION AND GOLDEN BAY CONSTRUCTION FOR ON-CALL
UNDERGROUND CONSTRUCTION
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Authorize the City Manager to execute and administer on-call water and sewer repair contracts with Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction with compensation up to $400,000, and Golden Bay Construction with compensation up to $400,000.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
City Council Ongoing Priorities
Enhancing Public Safety
Protecting the Environment and Preserving Open Space and Agricultural Land Maintaining and Enhancing Infrastructure
REPORT NARRATIVE:
In September 2021, after a request for proposals, the City entered into contracts with West Valley Construction and Pacific Underground Construction to provide on-call underground construction work. The purpose of these companies' contracts was to provide on-call timely work in urgent and emergency situations. The intent of having multiple on-call contractors is to undertake emergency repairs while at the same time ensuring the best value for the City. The City requests cost estimates from on-call contractors prior to initiating work when possible.
Typical work to be performed under these contracts includes repair of water service leaks, water main leaks, hydrant repair, valve replacement, water service replacement, meter installation, sewer main repairs, sewer lateral repair, manhole repair or installation, backfill of excavations, compaction, and final paving of streets.
However, over the last several months, the City has run into several occasions where the current companies with contracts for underground work have been unable to provide service to the City. This has been due to lack of company resources or work requests that are outside the company's area of expertise. This has left repair jobs waiting and the City unable to complete some necessary storm repairs since last winter. For this reason, City staff is proposing to add two additional companies to the on-call list for underground contractors. Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction is a reputable
7 company located nearby (Santa Clara), which has provided strong references for doing complex repair work for other government entities. The company has also performed considerable work for government entities where FEMA reimbursement is available.
Golden Bay Construction has done numerous projects for the City in the past, including underground work, road work, and traffic signal installation. Golden Bay has been very responsive to City requests to complete work quickly in the past.
It is the intent of City staff to bring these two contractors on now to support immediate repair needs and potential emergency repairs for the coming year. Staff reached out to numerous qualified firms attempting to get them to take on on-call work for the City, but were only successful in obtaining commitments to be able to perform work immediately from Anderson Pacific and Golden Bay Construction. City staff intend to develop another request for proposals in 2024 to solicit and award future contracts. Approving these on-call service agreements now will assist the City in making timely repairs to its infrastructure and provide further protection should significant emergency situations arise again in the future.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Not Applicable
Ongoing maintenance of City infrastructure, including emergency response, is an expected service provided by the City.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could choose not to enter into the contract for one or both contractors.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Council previously approved the initial on-call underground repair contracts on September 1, 2021 for West Valley Construction and Pacific Underground Construction.
Amendments to these contracts were approved by the City Council on April 19, 2023.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Unanticipated repairs are budgeted annually across various areas of the City Budget.
Last year, significant repair work was needed due to damage caused by significant storms, with repair work eligible for FEMA reimbursement.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
This project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA Guidelines because the work to be performed is the repair of existing City infrastructure involving no expansion of existing use.
1 Updated: May 2023

Facilities Shown or Indicated – Unless it is otherwise expressly provided in the section below, Protection of Existing Facilities, the City shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of information or data shown on the City’s water and sewer system base maps or any other utility information, and the Contractor shall have full responsibility for reviewing and checking all such information and data, for locating all Underground Utilities for coordination of the work with the owners of such Underground Utilities during construction, for the safety and protection thereof and repairing any damage thereto resulting from the work, the cost of which will be considered as having been included in the contract price. Existing utility lines that are shown, or the locations of which are made known to the Contractor prior to excavation and that are to be retained, and all utility lines that are constructed during excavation operations shall be protected from damage during excavation and back-filling and if damaged, shall be immediately repaired by the Contractor except as the owner of the utility or other facility may otherwise direct. All repairs due to damage are subject to inspection and approval by an authorized representative of the property owner before being concealed by backfill or other work. The obligations set forth in this paragraph and other paragraphs concerning underground work shall apply to such damage as may occur after back-filling or is not discovered until after completion of the back-filling.
Facilities Not Shown or Indicated - If an Underground Utility is uncovered or revealed at or contiguous to the site which was not shown or indicated in the City’s water and sewer system base maps and not otherwise made known to the Contractor prior to excavation, which the Contractor could not reasonably have been expected to be aware of based on the presence of other visible facilities, such as buildings, meter and junction boxes, on or adjacent to the site of the repair, the Contractor shall identify the owner of such Underground Utility and give written notice thereof to the City in accordance with the requirements of the next section, Protection of Existing Facilities. In the event that the Contractor damages any existing utility lines that are not shown or the locations of which are not made known to the Contractor prior to excavation, a written report thereof shall be made immediately to the City. If directed by the City, repairs shall be made by the Contractor.
To the extent required by Government Code section 4215, all costs of locating, repairing damage to, and removing or relocating such utility facilities not shown or indicated, and for the necessary idling of equipment on the project which was actually working on that portion of the work which was interrupted or idled by removal or relocation of such utility facilities not shown or indicated, which costs were not incurred due to the failure of the Contractor to exercise reasonable care, will be paid for as time and materials.
Protection of Existing Facilities
General - The Contractor shall protect all existing utilities and improvements not designated for removal and shall restore damaged or temporarily relocated utilities and improvements to a condition equal to or better than they were prior to such damage or temporary relocation.
Restoration shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of the City or to the affected utility or franchisee.
16 Updated: May 2023
The Contractor shall verify the exact locations and depths of all utilities or improvements shown and the Contractor shall make exploratory excavations of all utilities or improvements that may interfere with the Work. The number of exploratory excavations required shall be that number which is sufficient to determine the alignment and grade of the utility or improvement. The Contractor shall notify and obtain concurrence with City staff of that number of exploratory excavations.
It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to see that all utilities or other improvements are adequately protected from damage due to such operations. The Contractor shall exercise care in all excavations to avoid damage to existing underground facilities. This shall include hand digging in those areas where underground facilities are known to exist until they have been sufficiently located to avoid damage to the facilities. No additional compensation shall be provided the Contractor for compliance with the provisions of this section or for the damage and repair of facilities due to the lack of such care.
Right-of-Way - The Contractor shall not do any work that would affect any oil, gas, sewer, or water pipeline; any telephone, telegraph, communication wire or cable, or electric transmission line; any fence; or any other structure, nor shall the Contractor enter upon the right-of-way involved until notified by the City’s representative that the City has secured authority therefore from the appropriate authority. All oil and gasoline pipelines, power, and telephone or other communication cable ducts, gas and water mains, irrigation lines, sewer lines, storm drain lines, poles, and overhead power and communication wires and cables encountered along the line of the Work shall remain continuously in service during all the operations under the Contract, unless other arrangements satisfactory to the City are made with the owner of said pipelines, duct, main, irrigation line, sewer, storm drain, pole, or wire or cable.
In case it shall be necessary to move the property of any public utility or franchise holder, the Contractor shall provide written and just cause for utilities to be moved, and such utility company or franchise holder will, upon request of the Contractor, be notified in writing by the City to move such property within a specified reasonable time. When utility lines that are to be removed are encountered within the area of operations, the Contractor shall notify the City’s Engineer a sufficient time in advance for the necessary measures to be taken to prevent interruption of service.
This procedure is intended to prevent the Contractor from arbitrarily deciding to cut through any other utility’s or any franchisee’s facilities. It allows the City to coordinate such work with those agencies and set the timeline and sequence of such work. After authorization has been obtained, the Contractor shall give said party due notice of its intention to begin work, and shall give said party convenient access and every facility for removing, shoring, supporting, or otherwise protecting such pipeline, transmission line, ditch, fence, or structure, and for replacing same. The Contractor shall provide such special protection as may be necessary to protect all known utilities and other improvements that may be impaired during construction operations and shall take all possible precautions for the protection of unforeseen utility lines or other improvements to provide for uninterrupted service.
Utilities to be Removed/Relocated - Where the proper completion of the repair work requires the temporary or permanent removal and/or relocation of an existing utility or other improvement that is
17 Updated: May 2023
shown, the Contractor shall remove and, without unnecessary delay, temporarily replace or relocate such utility or facility. In all cases of such temporary removal or relocation, restoration to the former location shall be accomplished by the Contractor in a manner that will restore or replace the utility or improvement as nearly as possible to its former location and to as good or better condition than found prior to removal.
Restoration of Pavement:
A. General. All paved areas, including asphalt concrete berms, cut or damaged during construction, shall be replaced with in accordance with the specifications of the public authority that has jurisdiction over the site of the work. The City of Morgan Hill and the County of Santa Clara own public right of ways within the City’s service area. All temporary and permanent pavements shall conform to the requirements of the affected pavement owner. All pavements that are subject to partial removal shall be neatly saw cut in straight lines per specifications.
B. Temporary Resurfacing. Wherever required by the public authority with jurisdiction over the site of the work, the Contractor shall place temporary surfacing promptly after back-filling and shall maintain such surfacing for the period of time fixed by said authority before proceeding with the final restoration of improvements.
C. Permanent Resurfacing. In order to obtain a satisfactory junction with adjacent surfaces, the Contractor shall comply with the applicable City or County Specifications, at its expense. The City will pay for initial testing. Any required re-testing and correction costs will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
D. Restoration of Sidewalks or Private Driveways. Wherever sidewalks or private roads have been removed for purposes of construction, the Contractor shall place suitable temporary sidewalks or roadways promptly after back-filling and shall maintain them in satisfactory condition for the period of time fixed by the authorities having jurisdiction over the affected portions before proceeding with the final restoration or, if no such period of times is so fixed, the Contractor shall maintain said temporary sidewalks or roadways until the final restoration thereof has been made.
Final restorations shall be in accordance with any applicable City and/or general construction codes.
Notification by the City - For routine repairs, the City shall notify Underground Service Alert (1-800- 642-2444) forty-eight (48) hours prior to any excavation in the vicinity of any existing underground facilities, including all water, sewer, storm drain, gas, petroleum products, or other pipelines; all buried electric power, communications, or television cables; all traffic signal and street lighting facilities; and all roadway and state highway rights-of-way.
Facility Access

Water Quality Protection and Stormwater Quality
The Contractor shall take all necessary steps to protect the storm drain system from discharges of construction-related wastewater, including saw cutting slurry, concrete washout, sedimentcontaminated and runoff, sewage overflows, and highly-chlorinated discharges from water line testing. This will require the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) such as providing sediment controls on downstream storm drain inlets, collecting and removing saw cutting slurry, providing an area for concrete washout, and directing highly-chlorinated discharges to the sanitary sewer or by dechlorinating this water. The Contractor is responsible for damage resulting from performing repair and clean-up of effected area.
Trench Excavation
The maximum length of trench excavation in advance of the pipe laying operation shall be 50 feet, and the maximum amount of trench remaining open without backfill shall be 50 feet. No trench in public areas shall be left open during periods when the Contractor is not at the site of work; trenches in these areas shall either be backfilled and temporarily paved, where applicable, or covered with steel trench plates as specified in the technical specifications.
Underground Facilities
The Contractor shall exercise care in all excavations to avoid damage to existing underground facilities. This shall include potholing and hand digging in those areas where underground facilities are known to exist until they have been sufficiently located to avoid damage to the facilities.
Prior to fabrication of any materials, the Contractor shall verify the locations and elevations of existing underground facilities to ensure proper connection and/or clearance.
The Contractor shall exercise care in maintaining those pipes and facilities to be abandoned and/or removed which are required for the continuing operation of the existing facilities until such time as they can be abandoned. The Contractor shall exercise extreme caution in working in any area adjacent to existing facilities. It is essential that the existing facilities be maintained in service until the new work is ready for full time operation and is placed in service.
No additional compensation shall be provided the Contractor for compliance with the provisions of this section for the damage and repair of such facilities due to the lack of care, and the Contractor shall be responsible for the direct and indirect costs resulting from the damage and repair of such facilities.

REPORT NARRATIVE:
Manzanita Park – Tract 10585 is a two-lot, 67-unit residential condominium development located at the northernmost part of the City, just east of the Monterey Road/Tilton Avenue intersection as shown on the attached Site Map (Attachment 1).
The project shares its northerly property line with an undeveloped agricultural land within the City of San Jose and shares its easterly property line with a parcel within the unincorporated area of Santa Clara County.
The project’s first lot, labeled as Parcel 1 on the Final Map, has an area of 3.1 acres and would be located north of the proposed extension of Tilton Avenue (a public arterial street) to the east of Monterey Road. The second lot, labeled as Parcel No. 2, has an area of 1.8 acres and would be south of the Tilton Avenue extension.
8 The extension of Tilton Avenue begins at Monterey Road then will terminate at the project’s easterly property line. The Developer will dedicate to the City (in fee) the ultimate right-of-way width of the extended segment of Tilton Avenue. Pursuant to the City’s current General Plan, further connection of Tilton Avenue to Burnett Avenue is a future consideration if the adjacent easterly, unincorporated County parcel is annexed to the City.
Since the connection of Tilton Avenue to Burnett Avenue is not expected to occur in the near term and since the extended segment of Tilton Avenue will only be serving the project site, the project will construct the extended segment of Tilton Avenue with an interim street width ranging from 40’ to 52’ which is less than the City standard width of a public arterial street.
Encroachment Agreement
In connection with the development of the project, the Developer will construct a private sanitary sewer system from Parcel 1, then southerly to a private sanitary sewer lift station on Parcel 2, and then will be extended along Monterey Road to connect to the existing public sewer main that begins at the intersection of Monterey Road and Burnett Avenue. A 79-foot-long segment of the private sanitary sewer line will run parallel to Monterey Road and will cross the Tilton Avenue extension. This sewer segment is proposed to be a permanent private sanitary sewer improvement.
The Developer will also construct temporary private improvements on portions of the Tilton Avenue extension right-of-way and on the proposed Public Service Easement behind both sides of the new Tilton Avenue right-of-way. The temporary private improvements consist of the project’s private amenities (such as bike racks, metal benches, water feature, portion of a tot lot, and other amenities) and other private utilities.
Since both the permanent private sanitary sewer improvement and temporary private improvements will encroach into the Tilton Avenue right-of-way and Public Service Easements, an Encroachment Agreement (Attachment 2) is required to memorialize the respective rights and obligations of the City and Developer with respect to the private sanitary sewer improvement and temporary private improvements.
Under the proposed Encroachment Agreement, the Developer and future Homeowners Association (HOA) will be responsible for the inspection, repair, restoration, reconstruction, replacement, and maintenance of the private sewer improvement and temporary private improvements at the Developer’s/HOA’s sole cost, risk and expense.
Moreover, when the City finally decides to widen the extended portion of Tilton Avenue to its ultimate/City standard street width, the Developer or future HOA will be required to remove and/or relocate the temporary private improvements at their sole cost and expense.
Final Map
The Developer, TOLL WEST COAST LLC, has completed all the conditions specified by the Planning Commission in the approval of the project’s Vesting Tentative Map and
8 Design Review Permit (Resolution No. 22-05). At the time of approval of the Vesting Tentative Map and Design Permit, the developer was North Corridor Investors. TOLL WEST COAST LLC now holds title to the development property.
The City Council is required to approve the Final Map (Attachment 3) if it conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, and any conditions of approval for the Vesting Tentative Map.
The Developer has furnished the City with the necessary documents to complete the processing of the Final Map and has made provisions to provide the City with the required fees, security, and insurance prior to recordation of the Final Map. The Final Map conforms to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, and conditions of approval have been met.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the Final Map and authorize the City Manager to sign the Subdivision Improvements Agreement (Attachment 4) and the Encroachment Agreement pending review and approval by the City Attorney.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform
The Planning Commission approved the project’s Vesting Tentative Map and Design Permit at its March 22, 2022 meeting. The project was publicly noticed including a mailing to property owners within 600 feet of the project.

NOW, THEREFORE, in furtherance of the foregoing Recitals, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, DEVELOPER and CITY hereby agree as follows:
1. Location of Permanent Sewer Improvement and Temporary Improvements; Terms.
a. The PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT may permanently remain only upon that portion of the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT as shown upon Exhibit “C” and the PLANS, subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT.
b. The TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS may temporarily remain only upon that portion of the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT as shown upon Exhibit “D” and the PLANS, subject to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. c. CITY makes no representations or warranties to DEVELOPER about the condition of the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT, or any portion thereof, or that the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT are suitable for the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS.
d. CITY reserves the right for itself and others to use the CITY PROEPRTY AND EASEMENT for public purposes, including but not limited to the installation and maintenance of underground utilities.
2. Membership to Underground Service Alert (USA): The DEVELOPER is required to sign up as a member with Underground Service Alert (USA) for future marking by the DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION of the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT.
DEVELOPER shall provide proof of USA membership prior to PROJECT acceptance or prior to building final of the last unit, whichever is first.
3. Use, Maintenance and Repair of Permanent Sewer Improvement and Temporary Improvements.
a. DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION are required to apply for a City Encroachment Permit for all work performed within the CITY’S right-of-way. b. DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION shall be solely responsible for, at DEVELOPER’s/ASSOCIATION’s sole cost, risk and expense, inspecting, repairing, restoring, reconstructing, replacing, and maintaining the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS (and the related CITY PROPERTY upon which the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and
4 TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS are located) in a good, safe, sanitary, and undamaged condition, in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and codes and in accordance with the DECLARATION and the PLANS. c. CITY hereby grants to DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION the right to use, inspect, maintain, repair, and replace the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS in the location as shown upon Exhibit “C”, Exhibit “D”, and the PLANS, in accordance with this AGREEMENT and the DECLARATION; provided, however, that CITY reserves unto itself the right to construct, maintain, repair, replace, access and use that portion of the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT upon which the PERMANENT SEWER
IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS are located for
underground utilities.
d. The operation and maintenance of the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and the PROJECT’s private sanitary sewer system are also subject to a separate Private Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Agreement to be executed by the DEVELOPER.
e. The proposed extended portion of Tilton Avenue will be widened in the future to its ultimate street width as determined by the City Engineer. At that time, the City will design a capital improvement project that will remove, relocate and/or abandon the existing improvements within the area of street widening except for the TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS. The TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS
will need to be abandoned, removed or relocated by DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION, at its sole cost and expense, within sixty (60) days upon a demand in writing therefor by CITY. The PARTIES hereto agree to meet promptly to ascertain a reasonable method of achieving such abandonment, removal and/or relocation based on current CITY standards and requirements.
Abandonment, removal and/or relocation may require design or building permits.
If DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION fails to so remove or relocate a TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENT, CITY may cause such work to be done and the cost therefor shall be the responsibility of the DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION.
DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION shall pay CITY for the costs of such work within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from CITY. Said costs may be deemed a lien upon the PROJECT PROPERTY if costs remain unpaid for a period of sixty (60) days from demand of payment.
f. DEVELOPER agrees that neither DEVELOPER nor ASSOCIATION shall bring onto the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT, nor store or dispose of on the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT, nor allow others to bring onto, store or dispose on the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT, any hazardous material of any kind. g. DEVELOPER agrees to provide CITY with reasonable advance notice of any repair, restoration, or reconstruction work or related service that DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION may perform pursuant to this AGREEMENT. CITY agrees to provide DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION with reasonable notice of work or service that may be performed by or on behalf of CITY upon the portion of CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT upon which the PERMANENT SEWER
IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS are located.
5 h. Unless the CITY's written approval is first obtained, DEVELOPER and/or ASSOCIATION shall not construct nor install any other improvements, other than the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY
IMPROVEMENTS, within or upon the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT or any portion thereof, nor shall expand or otherwise enlarge any of the PERMANENT SEWER IMPROVEMENT and TEMPORARY IMPROVEMENTS.
i. Except as otherwise described in this AGREEMENT, DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION shall keep and cause to be kept the areas of CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT completely open, free, and unobstructed at all times.
4. Assumption of Risks, Insurance, and Indemnity.

Concurrently with its execution of this AGREEMENT, DEVELOPER shall provide the CITY with proof of a policy or policies of liability insurance with limits of liability thereunder not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for bodily injury, including deaths of persons and property damage arising out of a single occurrence (if commercially reasonable to obtain), with a certificate that names the CITY, its elected officials, officers, employees and contractors as additional insureds ("Additional Insureds"). DEVELOPER shall defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Additional Insureds), indemnify and hold Additional Insureds free and harmless with respect to any and all claims, liabilities, and legal actions arising out of the acts or omissions of DEVELOPER, or any of DEVELOPER's officers, employees, agents or contractors in the performance of rights granted, or obligations imposed, by this AGREEMENT. This indemnity does not extend to any claims, liens, losses, costs, expenses, damages or other liability arising from or relating to any negligent or intentional acts or omissions by Additional Insureds. This paragraph shall survive termination of this AGREEMENT.
5. Liens. DEVELOPER shall keep the CITY PROPERTY and EASEMENT free of any liens or stop notices, shall promptly remove any liens, placed thereon resulting or arising from any actions or inactions of DEVELOPER or ASSOCIATION and shall indemnify, defend, and hold the CITY harmless from any and all liability, loss or expense associated with any such liens or stop notices.
6. Possessory Interest Tax Notice. CITY hereby provides notice, and DEVELOPER hereby acknowledges receipt of such notice, that pursuant to California Revenue & Taxation Code Section 107.6, any use or occupancy of public property, such as the CITY PROPERTY, may cause certain taxes to be levied upon such interest in said CITY PROPERTY. The PARTIES agree that DEVELOPER and ASSOCIATION shall be solely liable for, and shall timely pay and discharge prior to delinquency, any and all possessory interest taxes or other taxes that may be levied against DEVELOPER’S and ASSOCIATION’S right to occupy and use the CITY PROPERTY under this AGREEMENT.

APPROVE FINAL MAP FOR SAN SEBASTIAN PHASE 4B - TRACT NO. 10604
RECOMMENDATION(S)
1. Approve the Final Map; and
2. Authorize recordation of the Final Map.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES, GOALS & STRATEGIES
2022-2023 Strategic Priorities
Economic Development
REPORT NARRATIVE:
San Sebastian Phase 4B – Tract No. 10604 is a 4-lot subdivision located northwest of the intersection of Cochrane Road and Half Road (as shown on the attached site map) (Attachment 1). The developer, Toll CA XX, LP, has completed all the conditions specified by the Planning Commission in the approval of the Tentative Map (SD-09-07) on February 12, 2013.
The City Council is required to approve the Final Map (Attachment 2) if it conforms to all the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, and any conditions of approval for the Tentative Map.
The developer has furnished the City with the necessary documents to complete the processing of the Final Map and has made provisions to provide the City with the required fees, security, and insurance prior to recordation of the Final Map. The Final Map conforms to the requirements of the Subdivision Map Act, and conditions of approval have been met. Staff recommends that City Council approve the Final Map.
On June 21, 2023, the City Council approved the Final Map and Subdivision Improvement Agreement for San Sebastian Phase 4A – Tract 10600. The Subdivision Improvements Agreement for Phase 4A of San Sebastian with surety bonds and insurance covered all public improvements necessary for Phase 4B of San Sebastian.
Therefore, no additional Subdivision Improvements Agreement will be needed with the
9 processing of the San Sebastian Phase 4B Final Map.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
On February 12, 2013, the Planning Commission approved the project's Tentative Map.
Residents within a 300 feet radius were informed of the Planning Commission’s intent to approve the Tentative Map for the project, in which a public hearing was held to allow the public to be involved and voice their concerns over the Tentative Map requirements.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
There is no feasible alternative action as the developer has met the requirements of the tentative map conditions approved by the Planning Commission to file for a final map approval.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On June 21, 2023 the City Council approved the San Sebastian Phase 4A Final Map and related Subdivision Improvements Agreement.
On March 2, 2022 the City Council approved the San Sebastian Phase 3A Final Map and related Subdivision Improvements Agreement.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Development review costs for this project are paid for from development processing fees.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
An Environment Impact Report was adopted by the City Council on February 27, 2013.

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:
Annually, the Library, Culture and Arts Commission (LCAC) and the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) submit Work Plans for approval by the City Council.
After approval by the Council, the Commissions use these Work Plans to guide their work over the next year. The LCAC Work Plan was approved in June. City staff believe that the Work Plan of the PRC can be achieved with moderate impact on staff resources. As has been the case in past years, many commissioners have volunteered to take on some of the legwork associated with the specific Work Plan items.
The PRC Work Plan includes items carried forward from the previous fiscal years.This is due to limitations on available City staff resources and aggressive Work Plan items established by the Commission. Some items are also multi-year in nature.
10 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Consult
The development of the Work Plans occurred at noticed public meetings of the PRC and the LCAC. Specific Work Plan items will include appropriate public engagement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The Council could alternatively modify a Commission’s Work Plan to eliminate, add, or change specific items within a Work Plan.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The PRC approved their Work Plan for City Council review on July 18, 2023.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the approval of the Commission Work Plans. Each Work Plan identifies the estimated staff resources necessary to support the specific Work Plan items. Supporting the LCAC and PRC is an ongoing activity for the Public Services Department.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Not a Project
Development of Commission Work Plans is an administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. While some projects on the Work Plans may result in changes to the physical environment, those projects would undergo appropriate environmental review on a project by project basis to meet CEQA requirements.

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:
Ten City owned traffic signal utility boxes were painted by artists through a project by Leadership Morgan Hill in 2018. Following the initial program by Leadership Morgan Hill, the Library, Culture and Arts Commission developed a program to pair sponsors with local artists to continue painting additional utility boxes within the City.
The sub-committee of the Commission has identified another artist/sponsor to paint another utility box. Artist Amanda Santiago has proposed painting an additional traffic signal utility box. The artist has taken the initiative to propose this artwork and also proposed the associated inspirational phrase “Celebrating our Shared History.” The artwork is sponsored by Colibri Gallery/Colibri Art and Framing.
Per the City’s Public Art Policy, the Library, Culture and Arts Commission must make a recommendation to the City Council for the approval of public art. The art proposal is included as Attachment 1 for review by the Council. The artwork could be installed at one of several locations, but the consensus from the Commission was the intersection of East Dunne Avenue and Depot Street, adjacent to the Community and Cultural Center.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Empower
12 The program has been primarily managed by the volunteers on the Commission and the project was brought forward by a local artist who identified a sponsor for the work.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
The City Council could choose not to approve the project, provide for direction on changes to the artwork, or provide other alternate direction to staff and the Commission.
Addititionally, the Council could approve an alternative location for the site. The potential alternative location discussed with the artist and sponsor was the utility boxes at the intersection of Tennant Avenue and Butterfield Boulevard.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
The Library, Culture and Arts Commission has recommended approval of the artwork.
Artist Amanda Santiago is a member of the Commission, but recused herself and did not participate in the meeting during the Commission's review of the artwork. The City Council previously approved artwork for the initial Utility Box Art Program on July 25, 2018. Since that time numerous individual sites and artwork have been approved as part of the program. Most recently, the Council approved artwork on the utility box art at Murphy Avenue and East Dunne Avenue on December 15, 2021.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The project will be funded by a sponsorship provided by the Colibri Gallery/Colibri Art and Framing. This will include payment to the artist and funding of the anti-graffiti coating over the artwork. The implementation of a utility box art program is in the approved Library, Culture and Arts Commission Work Plan, with planned limited support from Public Services Department staff.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Categorical Exemption
The planned maintenance and management of city facilities falls within the CEQA categorical exemption of Class 1, Existing Facilities.

Short Inspirational/thought-provoking/positive message for the original artwork:1 response Celebrating our shared History
Description of artwork interpreting the message:1 response One side of the box will feature the father daughter bond between Hiram Morgan Hill and his daughter Diana Hill, in front of Villa Miramonte laughing and playing in their front yard with roses and hummingbirds surrounding them. The other side will feature an Amah Mutsun father and daughter in traditional garb in front of their home, also sharing a fun moment. Little details such as a petroglyph and acorns will complete the layout I would like this to show that we are united in our love for our families and wanting to see our children and homes safe, healthy, and thriving. Art to follow via Suman/ and email Monday. Design is complete, layout is still in process. Color schemes will reflect a natural and historic palate, Villa Miramonte will be painted in colors reflecting the building as it is today, the Amah Mutsun family will be depicted in natural colors as seen in the landscape at Chitactac Park. Patterns in the painted "frame" that will encompass the artwork will be traditional Ohlone baskets on the Amah Mutsun side, and the stained glass windows of Villa Miramonte on the Hills side. The short sides of the box will have a continuation of the hummingbirds and roses on one side and acorns and crows on the other.

Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan
REPORT NARRATIVE:
An ordinance is being proposed that would establish Chapter 18.29 (Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code) of Title 18 (Zoning Code) to create a vibrant mixed-use corridor that
13 encourages walking and biking north and south of Downtown, from approximately Main Avenue north to Burnett Avenue and from approximately Dunne Avenue south to Rome Avenue.
Complete details of the proposed amendments are provided in the draft Ordinance (Attachment 1) and in the Planning Commission staff report. If the proposed Ordinance is approved, the Code Amendment becomes effective 30 days following the adoption of the Ordinance by the City Council.
Pursuant to Section 18.114.060 (Findings for Approval), the City Council may approve a zoning code amendment only if all of the following findings are made:
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
2. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
3. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the zoning code.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the above findings as the amendments implement the General Plan and the 2017 Morgan Hill Economic Blueprint, do not propose any new uses that were not analyzed in the Morgan Hill 2035 Environmental Impact Report, and are internally consistent with other applicable provisions of the zoning code.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Morgan Hill is guided by several key policy and regulatory documents to manage future growth. Adopted by the City Council in July 2016, the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan establishes a vision for a prosperous, vibrant city, supported by a framework of goals, policies, and actions that guide the City’s decisions for the next two decades. The Morgan Hill Downtown Specific Plan, adopted in November 2009, complements the General Plan, ensuring that residential and commercial development standards support the community’s vision for a vibrant and accessible Downtown village. The General Plan vision for the Monterey Corridor is as follows:
“North and south of Downtown will transform from its current predominantly strip commercial character to a vibrant mixed-use corridor that encourages walking and biking. Buildings will front onto the street and a range of commercial and office uses will be located within close proximity to attached residential units. Density will decrease with distance from Downtown.”
In January 2017, the City of Morgan Hill contracted with Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. (LWC) for the preparation of a market and land use capacity study for the Monterey Road corridor. The Market Analysis Report (Report) provided a summary of demographic and socio-economic conditions in the City of Morgan Hill as they relate to economic performance, as well as a high-level analysis of the commercial market, and a
13 land use capacity assessment for the corridor. The Report was used to inform the development of implementation plan options for the Monterey Corridor. The Report indicated, among other key findings, that the Monterey Corridor has a theoretical market demand of 215,000 square feet of commercial (retail and office) with development capacity for between 150 and 890 residential units (the residential capacity did not take into account recent State laws that may yield significantly more housing units along the corridor).
The Report summarized five options:
1.1 Comprehensive Form-Based Code;
1.2 Scaled-Down Form-Based Code;
2. Conventional Code with Updates to Standards;
3. Specific Plan for the Study Area;
4. Guidelines for “Block-Level Master Plans”; and,
5. Streetscape Improvement Plan and a Façade Incentive Program.
As indicated by LWC, the two form-based code options (1.1 Comprehensive FormBased Code and 1.2 Scaled-Down Form-Based Code) would, in their experience, be most effective in helping to realize the General Plan’s vision for the Monterey Corridor.
On April 4, 2018, the City Council discussed the Monterey Corridor Study Report, Implementation Memo, and the Planning Commission’s recommendations. Several implementation measures were discussed including the preparation of a Specific Plan.
However, due to the cost to update the Specific Plan (approximately $1,000,000 at the time), funding was not provided via the General Fund; and, therefore, staff was instead directed to proceed with the preparation of a Block-Level Master Plan (BLMP) for the Monterey Road corridor and to seek other funding and grants in pursuit of a Specific Plan update at a later undertermined date. BLMPs for Monterey Corridor Block One and Monterey Corridor Block Four were approved by the City Council on February 6, 2019.
As part of the Plan Bay Area 2050, on December 18, 2019, the City Council adopted a resolution to expand the City of Morgan Hill’s existing Priority Development Area (PDA) beyond Downtown, along the Monterey Corridor north and south of Downtown. The purpose of designating a Priority Development Area is to focus both on housing and job growth within a quarter mile of transit, expressing a local government's priorities for growth in jobs and housing and inform regional agencies that jurisdictions want and need assistance, specifically to complete planning actions that will provide for and foster quality design adjacent to transportation. A Priority Development Area provides the opportunity for the City to pursue planning grant funds through Bay Area Metro should they become available. On February 14, 2020, ABAG approved the City's PDA expansion.
Long Range Planning Staff secured grant funding through the 2019 Planning Grants Program from the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development in the amount of $160,000 for the preparation and development of a formbased code for the Monterey Road Corridor. The BLMPs thereby served as the
13 foundation for the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code; and the form-based code will be the basis for a future Specific Plan. On March 4, 2020, the City Council approved a Consultant Agreement with LWC to prepare the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code.
The Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code will serve as the backbone, and reduce the cost, for a future Monterey Corridor Specific Plan that includes a Downtown Specific Plan update.
WHAT IS A FORM-BASED CODE:
A Form-Based Code (FBC) is a tool used to shape the urban environment through a set of objective standards. This approach is an alternative to the conventional zoning code, using a place-based planning approach that promotes a walkable urban environment over sprawl.
A FBC can address the relationship between the building facade and public realm, form, and mass of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and types of streets and blocks. Regulations and standards in a FBC are usually presented in tables and graphics alongside supplemental text. The standards vary in intensity based on each form-based zone. The form-based zones are mapped on a Regulating Plan, a document similar to a zoning map.
FBC’s are now being utilized by cities, towns, and counties across the country as communities like Morgan Hill desire vibrant, mixed-use areas where residents can live, work, and play within close walking distance. For the Monterey Corridor, a FBC can establish objective development standards that implement the community vision described in the General Plan, emphasizing pedestrian-oriented building form and efficient housing development with an appropriate mix of uses.
Although a FBC is a type of Zoning Code, FBCs differ from conventional zoning codes in terms of the process by which they are prepared, the substance of the standards they contain, how those standards are presented, the mechanism by which they are implemented, and the built form they produce. In summary, a FBC is a transformative regulatory tool used to implement a community’s vision for how it should look and feel, holistically shaping the urban environment through a set of objective standards.
PROJECT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
LWC has prepared the attached draft FBC which is proposed to be included as Chapter
18.29 (Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code) of Title 18 (Zoning Code). If the draft FBC is approved, parcels located within the FBC boundary will have their zoning amended to one of the three Form-Based Zoning Districts as described below. The draft FBC establishes development standards that are objective and implement the community vision, emphasizing pedestrian-oriented building form and streamlined housing development with an appropriate mix of uses. The draft FBC is designed with a userfriendly organizational structure, where City staff and community members can easily navigate and recognize the standards and requirements that apply to the applicable development site.
13 The draft FBC is organized consistent with other Chapters of the Zoning Ordinance; however, it lists standards that are only applicable to the Form-Based Zoning Districts.
The draft FBC is organized pursuant to the following subject matter:
1. Introduction. This Section introduces the FBC, describes its components, and provides an illustrative explanation of how to use and apply the FBC to a typical development review application.
2. Purpose and Applicability of the Form-Based Code. This Section provides the general purpose and intent of the form-based zoning districts and standards, as well as the applicability of the FBC.
3. Form-Based Zoning Districts. This Section establishes the applicability of the form-based zoning districts, an overview of the zoning districts, and the specific purpose statements and development standards associated with each zoning district.
4. Building Type Standards. This Section establishes the purpose and intent of the building type standards, the applicability of the standards, a description of each building type, and objective standards associated with each type.
5. Frontage Type Standards. This Section establishes the purpose and intent of the frontage type standards, the applicability of the standards, a description of each frontage type, and objective standards associated with each type.
6. Civic Space Standards. This Section establishes the purpose and intent of the civic space standards, the applicability of the standards, a description of each civic space type, and objective standards associated with each type.
7. Land Use Standards. This Section establishes the land uses permitted in each form-based zoning district and any applicable specific use standards.
8. Standards Supplemental to Form-Based Zoning Districts. This Section provides any additional standards or requirements necessary to implement walkable areas, including alternatives for parking requirements, design and dimensional standards for signs, and landscaping provisions.
9. Permits and Administration for Form-Based Zoning Districts. This Section establishes any additional or unique provisions necessary to administer the FBC.
10. Definitions for Form-Based Zoning Districts. This Section provides any additional or unique definitions necessary to understand the standards and requirements of the FBC.
The draft FBC proposes the following three Form-Based Zoning Districts within the FBC:
• Neighborhood Form-Based (FB-N). A variety of housing opportunities that are accessible to a range of income levels in a walkable environment with neighborhood-serving retail and services.
• Corridor Form-Based (FB-C). Variable intensities of infill and redevelopment with a mix of walkable uses, such as retail, service, and commercial, that are sensitive to the scale and character of the area.
• Urban General Form-Based (FB-UG). Mixed-use commercial and residential hubs with a variety of uses and clustered job opportunity centers. Accessible
13 corridors and streets with internal block patterns and an improved pedestrian experience transitioning from an auto-centric environment to a walkable environment.
These three Form-Based Zoning Districts are keyed to a plan, referred to as a Regulating Plan (see attachment), that functions like a zoning map, assigning an appropriate form-based zone to specific lots. The proposed Regulating Plan boundary, in which the FBC would apply to, generally includes parcels adjacent to Monterey Road within the City limit, excluding the Downtown Specific Plan Area and parcels south of Watsonville Road. The boundary extends north and south of Downtown from approximately Main Avenue north to Burnett Avenue and from approximately Dunne Avenue south to Rome Avenue.
The proposed Form-Based Code has been analyzed with respect to consistency with the: 1) General Plan, and 2) Zoning Ordinance.
1. General Plan Consistency
The proposed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan in that it implements the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan.
2. Zoning Ordinance Consistency
The purpose of the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code is to implement the General Plan and to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. The City may approve a Zoning Amendment only if the following findings are made:
a. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan as provided by Government Code Section 65860.
Consistent
The proposed text amendments are consistent with the General Plan in that it implements the vision in the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan to transform the Monterey Road Corridor north and south of Downtown (from approximately Main Avenue north to Burnett Avenue and from approximately Dunne Avenue south to Rome Avenue) from its current predominantly strip commercial character to a vibrant mixed-use corridor that encourages walking and biking with buildings fronting onto the street and a range of commercial and office uses located in close proximity to new and existing residential development.
b. The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
Consistent
The proposed Form-Based Code consists of implementing the City of Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and will implement the vision to transform the Monterey Road Corridor north and south of Downtown as a vibrant mixed-use corridor that encourages walking and biking, and, therefore, will not be detrimental to the City. c. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions
13 of the zoning code.
Consistent
The proposed Form-Based Code will implement the City of Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and refers to and cross-references other Chapters within the Municipal Code, and, therefore, is internally consistent with the overall zoning code. d. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, shape, size, and other characteristics to ensure that the permitted land uses and development will comply with the zoning code and general plan and contribute to the health, safety, and welfare of the property, surrounding properties, and the community at large.
Consistent
The proposed Form-Based Code will implement the City of Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan vision for the Monterey Corridor through standards for neighborhood design, building form, and land use, and does not amend or affect the existing residential density on the subject properties.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments on July 25, 2023.
Following discussion, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 23-06 recommending the City Council approve the proposed Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code with the following changes: remove the word “typically” throughout the draft ordinance; allow “Porch, Engaged” and “Porch, Projecting” as permitted frontage types within the Corridor Form-Based (FB-C) Zoning District; and add minimum and maximum height requirements to the first floor within the Urban General Form-Based (FB-UG) Zoning District. These changes are reflected in the attached Monterey Corridor FormBased Code.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Inform/Engage
The Planning Commission held the first workshop regarding the FBC on September 8, 2020, in which LWC provided a presentation on ‘What is a Form-Based Code’, as well as the proposed boundary for the FBC. The Commission also reviewed, discussed, and provided feedback on the FBC Impediments and Recommendations Memo. The memo provided an overview of state legislation and form-based codes, highlighted policy direction related to form-based codes, assessed relevant standards in the existing Zoning Code, evaluated impediments to achieving the vision and objectives of the General Plan, and presented recommendations for the most effective form-based code approach.
A second Planning Commission workshop was held on April 13, 2021, in which LWC presented the Public Review Draft FBC, discussed FBC principles, and gathered input.
The workshop was intended as an opportunity for the community and Planning Commission to learn more about the project and review and comment on the Public Review Draft FBC. The workshop concluded with four key takeways which required revisions to the FBC, including: 1. Verifying parking requirements and parking diagrams are clear; 2. Confirm base flood elevation considerations; 3. Consider a stepback
13 requirement for a building’s upper floors; and 4. Consider an increased number of building types and/or revisions to how building types are allowed in each zoning district.
Please refer to the May 18, 2022 memo from LWC regarding responses to these takeaways attached to the July 25, 2023 Planning Commission agenda.
A hybrid community meeting regarding the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code was held on July 19, 2023 to update residents, property owners, and developers of the most recent version of the draft Form-Based Code.
In addition, City Staff presented the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code at the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee meeting on August 10, 2023.
A 10-day public hearing notice was published in the Friday, June 30, 2023, edition of the Morgan Hill Times pursuant to Government Code Sections 65090-65096. Notices were also provided in the City's 411 and the City's website:
https://www.morganhill.ca.gov/2060/Monterey-Corridor---Form-Base-Code. On July 25, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed ordinance in which a 10-day public hearing notice was published in the Friday, June 30, 2023 edition of the Morgan Hill Times.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
If the City Council does not take action on the proposed ordinance amendments, the Municipal Code will remain as-is. The Council may also make modifications to the proposed amendments, or not approve certain sections that the Council deems appropriate.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION ACTIONS:
On March 4, 2020, the City Council approved a Consultant Agreement with LWC to prepare the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code (FBC).
On July 25, 2023, the Planning Commission considered and recommended the City Council approve the Monterey Corridor Form-Based Code, on a vote of 6-0 with one member absent.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
This item is included in the current adopted budget (FY22-23 and FY23-24) and is part of the Long Range Planning workplan and is funded through the Long Range Planning Fund (207). In addition, Long Range Planning secured grant funding through the 2019 Planning Grants Program from the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development in the amount of $160,000 for the preparation and development of a form-based code for the Monterey Road Corridor.
CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):
Exempt
This Form-Based Code is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section
13 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. The proposed project is covered by the common-sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
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. The proposed project will not result in any direct impact upon the physical environment. Any development that occurs in the future subject to such standards will undergo an independent analysis per the requirements of CEQA.
The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan, which envisioned the transformation of the Monterey Corridor north and south of Downtown into a vibrant mixed-use corridor, was prepared in accordance with CEQA and certified by the Morgan Hill City Council on July 27, 2016 (SCH#2015022074).

18.29.010.A Purpose of the Form-Based Code
The Form-Based Code (FBC) represents a paradigm shift in the way that the built environment is regulated. The formal short definition of a Form-Based Code is as follows:
“A form-based code is a land development regulation that fosters predictable built results and a highquality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. A form-based code is a regulation, not a mere guideline, adopted into city, town, or county law.
A form-based code offers a powerful alternative to conventional zoning regulation.” – Form-Based Codes Institute
Unlike conventional, use-based codes, FBCs utilize the intended form and character of a neighborhood, rather than use as the organizing framework of the code. Morgan Hill will join cities and counties across the country that are now utilizing FBCs to shift their “main streets” and commercial corridors into vibrant, mixed-use areas where residents can live, work, and play within close walking distance.
For the Monterey Corridor (Corridor), the FBC establishes development standards that are objective and implement the community vision, emphasizing pedestrian-oriented building form and streamlined housing development with an appropriate mix of uses. The FBC is designed with a user-friendly organizational structure, where City staff and community members can easily navigate and recognize the standards and requirements that apply to the applicable development site.
Regulations and standards in a FBC are presented graphically in simple diagrams and photographs as well as supplemental text. These standards are keyed to a plan (i.e., a Regulating Plan) that functions like a zoning map, assigning an appropriate form and scale through the application of form-based zones to specific lots. While FBCs focus on an intended physical form, they also regulate use by allowing a mix of appropriate land uses chosen to ensure compatibility among different contexts and the intended physical form of the area. The standards ultimately shape the relationship between building facades and the public realm (i.e., the public and private space between buildings), the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and type of blocks.
