TITLE: Adopt a Resolution Approving Recommended Park Restroom Locations and Authorizing the Filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE-PW 03-25 MEETING DATE: October 22, 2025
PREPARED BY: Matthew Gutierrez, Program Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to:

1. Approve Option 1 as the recommended restroom locations at Wicklund, Bethany, Altamont, and Questa Neighborhood Parks, and authorize staff to make minor location adjustments during design if such refinements improve constructability, reduce costs, or better address site conditions (Options 2 or 3).

2. Approve Notice of Exemption No. NOE-PW 03-25 under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Neighborhood Park Restroom Facilities Project.

3. Authorize the City Manager to take all appropriate and necessary actions to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.

BACKGROUND
In February 2025, the City Council directed staff to explore options for providing permanent restroom facilities at the Wicklund, Bethany, Altamont, and Questa Neighborhood Parks. The discussion reflected growing community interest in improving park usability and ensuring equitable access to amenities across all villages.

In response, on August 13, 2025, staff presented five restroom alternatives for Council consideration:
• Portable Toilet with Constructed Enclosure (Rent)
• Mobile Luxury Toilet (Rent or Purchase)
• Vault Toilet (Purchase)
• Flush Vault Toilet (Purchase / Construction)
• Standard Plumbed Restroom (Construction)
Following public comment and Council discussion, direction was given to further evaluate the standard plumbed restroom concept and identify feasible site locations for each park prior to advancing to design development.

Item 8.2
Mountain House Page 260 of 286

DISCUSSION
This item represents the next step in implementing Council’s direction, approving the recommended restroom locations (Option 1) and authorizing CEQA clearance to document environmental and public due diligence before initiating design.

Approving restroom locations at this stage allows staff to complete environmental review and ensures transparency and public participation before final design. Restroom siting within established neighborhoods can be sensitive; while many residents support restroom access, those living adjacent to parks may have concerns about aesthetics, proximity, or visibility. The CEQA process and public review provide a transparent framework for documenting the City’s efforts to balance community benefit and neighborhood compatibility.

Recommended and Alternate Locations
Each park was evaluated for multiple potential restroom sites using the following criteria:
• Proximity to Existing Utilities – Minimizing new infrastructure and cost. • Accessibility – Ensuring ADA-compliant paths of travel and proximity to high-use areas. • Neighborhood Context – Minimizing visual impacts to adjacent homes while maintaining visibility for safety.
• Constructability – Maximizing feasibility and efficiency of construction, including site access and utility tie-ins.
• Operational Practicality – Facilitating maintenance access and service-vehicle circulation.

Option 1 (Attachment A) is recommended as the preferred configuration because it offers the best overall balance of accessibility, visibility, constructability, and integration with existing infrastructure.

However, Options 2 and 3 were also determined to be viable. To maintain project schedule and cost efficiency during detailed design, the proposed resolution (Attachment B) authorizes staff to adjust the final restroom location within each park, for example, pivoting to Option 2 or 3, if field conditions, design constraints, or construction efficiencies make an alternate placement more practical. Any such adjustments will remain within the general footprints analyzed under CEQA.

Next Milestone – Design and Cost Refinement
With restroom locations approved and CEQA clearance in place, staff will begin design development for permanent restroom facilities at each park.

While previous discussions included one-unit prefabricated restroom concepts, further evaluation indicates that two-unit, traditionally constructed restrooms would provide a higher quality, longer-lasting, and more cohesive amenity that better aligns with existing park architecture. These facilities would Item 8.2
Mountain House Page 261 of 286
enhance accessibility, improve maintenance efficiency, and present a consistent appearance across all neighborhoods.

Preliminary estimates suggest that this construction approach will result in higher upfront costs than earlier modular alternatives; however, it is expected to yield significant long-term operational and aesthetic benefits.

Staff will return to Council in early 2026 with:
• Final design drawings and material selections
• Updated cost estimates and funding source recommendations • A request to appropriate funds and award a construction contract

FISCAL IMPACT
No immediate fiscal action is required at this stage. Approving restroom locations and CEQA clearance allows staff to advance design development and prepare for bidding.

Future construction and funding appropriations will be presented to Council in early 2026 once design and cost estimates are finalized.

STRATEGIC PLAN
The Council’s adopted 2025 Strategic Plan (April 9, 2025) includes goals related to:
• Enhancing Amenities – Two-unit restrooms improve park usability. • Ensuring Equity – Uniform designs ensure comparable facilities across the City. • Protecting Health and Safety – Sanitary, accessible restrooms. • Investing in Sustainability – Long-term and durable infrastructure.

CEQA
The proposed construction of restrooms at Wicklund, Bethany, Altamont, and Questa Neighborhood Parks is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines.

The project involves installing small restroom buildings within existing developed park boundaries and connecting to existing water, sewer, and electrical utilities. The project will not expand park capacity or alter land use, and no significant environmental effects are anticipated.

Item 8.2
Mountain House Page 262 of 286
Adoption of this resolution will approve the filing of Notice of Exemption No. NOE-PW 03-25 for the Neighborhood Park Restroom Facilities Project, documenting the City’s environmental due diligence and ensuring transparency regarding restroom siting.

ACTION FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
If the Council approves this item, staff will:
• File the Notice of Exemption (NO NOE-PW 03-25) with the San Joaquin County Clerk. • Proceed with design development and utility coordination based on the approved locations, incorporating minor site adjustments as necessary for efficiency. • Return to Council in early 2026 with final design, refined cost estimates, and contract award recommendations.

WHEREAS, staff has since evaluated multiple site alternatives at each park based on proximity to utilities, accessibility, neighborhood context, constructability, and operational practicality; and
WHEREAS, Option 1 for each park has been identified as the recommended configuration because it offers the best overall balance of accessibility, visibility, constructability, and integration with existing infrastructure, while maintaining compatibility with adjacent residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledges that restroom siting within residential neighborhoods can be sensitive, and that environmental review and public process are important measures of due diligence in ensuring transparency; and WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize minor location adjustments during the final design phase, if necessary, to improve constructability, reduce costs, or address site-specific conditions, provided such refinements remain within the general areas analyzed under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and WHEREAS, the proposed construction of restrooms at the four identified neighborhood parks is categorically exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15303), as the project involves installation of small restroom structures within existing developed park boundaries and utility connections to existing systems; and
WHEREAS, the City has prepared Notice of Exemption No. NOE-PW 03-25, documenting the City’s determination that the project qualifies for the aforementioned exemption.

It Takes a Village Forum Series: The It Takes a Village Community Forum Series launched with its first session on General Plan Visioning. Preparations are underway for the next session on Utility Billing, scheduled for November 6 at Town Hall.
