STAFF REPORT
Approved and Forwarded to the City Council
DATE: July 12, 2022
TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kenneth W. Strelo, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Repeal of Oakley Municipal Code Section 9.1.502 “Commercial Downtown District (CD)” (RZ 02-22)
Summary
This is a City-initiated application to repeal Oakley Municipal Code (“OMC”) Section
9.1.502 “Commercial Downtown District (CD)” as a clean-up item to the Zoning Code.
The language in this section has been a part of the Oakley Zoning Code since inception. Its purpose is to provide the City with a set of land uses and development standards for the continued physical and economic growth of the designated Commercial Downtown area. The Oakley Downtown Specific Plan District (Specific Plan 4), adopted in March of 2010 by Ordinance 06-10, now serves as the document to guide development of all properties formerly within the Commercial Downtown (CD) District, and the CD District is no longer represented on any portion of the Oakley Zoning Map. This repeal ordinance would delete all parts of Section 9.1.502 except for the title.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council waive the first reading and introduce the ordinance repealing Oakley Municipal Code Section 9.1.502 “Commercial Downtown District (CD)” (RZ 02-22) in its entirety.
Background and Analysis
Adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan superseded the Commercial Downtown (CD) District by default by rezoning all applicable properties, and the Redevelopment Area Planned Unit District (P-1RA) through language in the ordinance, which explicitly stated that any properties within the P-1RA “shall now be regulated by the Oakley Downtown Specific Plan”. Properties in the P-1RA, but not in the Downtown Specific Plan were zoned to “Planned Unit Development (P-1) District,” and are indicated as such on the Oakley Zoning Map.
491
Subject: Repeal of Oakley Municipal Code Section 9.1.502 “Commercial Downtown District (CD)” Date: July 12, 2022
Page: 2 of 2
The currently existing parts of OMC Section 9.1.502 include the following:
Part a. Purpose and Intent
This is now superseded by the language contained in the Downtown Specific Plan.
Parts b and c. Permitted Uses and Uses Requiring a Conditional Use Permit Both parts refer to the P-1RA District, which has been superseded by the Downtown Specific Plan, making these two parts immaterial. Part d. Uses Requiring a Temporary Use Permit
States “none.”
Parts e though f. Development Standards
Lot Requirements, Yard Requirements, Building Height, and Other Regulations all refer to the P-1RA District with additional standards that area now superseded by the Downtown Specific Plan.
In summary, the entire section is no longer applicable to any properties within the City of Oakley and should be repealed.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund in relation to this ordinance repeal.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council waive the first reading and introduce the ordinance repealing Oakley Municipal Code Section 9.1.502 “Commercial Downtown District (CD)” (RZ 02-22) in its entirety.

FROM: Derek P. Cole, City Attorney
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY ADDING CHAPTER 39 TO TITLE 4 OF THE OAKLEY MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE BY THE
OAKLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Background and Discussion
On January 1, 2022, AB 481, which governs the funding, acquisition, and use of military equipment by law enforcement agencies in the state of California, became effective. AB 481 specifically requires all law enforcement agencies in California to obtain the approval of their respective governing bodies before funding, acquiring, or using equipment now defined under AB 481 as “military equipment.” AB 481 was created to address transparency issues in the funding, acquisition, and use of law enforcement equipment that lawmakers have deemed to be “military equipment.” AB 481, codified at California Government Code Section(s) 7070 through 7075, requires law enforcement agencies to “commence a governing body approval process,” for the adoption of a military equipment use policy by ordinance, in a public forum to continue the use of previously acquired “military equipment.” The bill also requires such approval (of the policy by ordinance), by the governing body in a public forum, before a law enforcement agency may fund, acquire, or use new “military equipment.” In addition, the bill requires further public review and approval actions by the governing body, annually, to continue the use of “military equipment,” and requires the City to host annual community meetings regarding the agency’s use of “military equipment” under the bill. These requirements are more specifically outlined below.
The term “military equipment,” as used in the legislation, does not necessarily indicate equipment used by the military. Items deemed to be “military equipment,” include, but equipment such as unmanned vehicles, command and control vehicles, armored vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, and long-range 498
acoustic devices. These types of equipment, as well as others considered “military equipment” under AB 481, are commonly used and employed by law enforcement agencies across the country to enhance resident and officer safety.
The proposed ordinance codifies the requirements of AB 481 and is intended to authorized the continued use of equipment that is considered “military” equipment under the new law. That equipment is limited, and includes aerial drones, ammunition of .50 caliber and greater, certain “assault” style weapons, noise-flash diversionary devices, tear gas, TASERS, and kinetic energy weapons and munitions.
At the July 12, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council will be requested to waive the first reading, and introduce, the proposed ordinance. If the ordinance is introduced, the Council would consider its enactment at its August 9, 2022 meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the first reading of, and introduce, the Ordinance Relate to Military Equipment Use by the Oakley Police Department Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The proposed ordinance would further the Sustainable Organization Goal of the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+.

FROM: Derek P. Cole, City Attorney
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY ADDING CHAPTER 38 TO TITLE 4 OF THE OAKLEY MUNICIPAL
CODE CONCERNING SPECTATORS AT ILLEGAL SPEED
CONTESTS, EXHIBITIONS OF SPEED, AND SIDE SHOWS
Background and Discussion
Cities throughout California, including Oakley and other East Contra Costa County cities have in recent years experienced “side shows,” dangerous gatherings of large crowds that surround automobiles that engage in speed contests or displays of automotive stunts. These gatherings, often organized on social media, often result in gatherings of hundreds of spectators, sometimes in the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning. The personal safety of all involved in these gatherings is very significantly jeopardized whenever the events occur. The drivers themselves are at high risk—intensified by the competitive nature of the events—from the excessive speeds at which they drive or the dangerous stunts they perform. Those who watch, usually from very close distances from the automobiles involved, are placed at high risk of being struck by one of the competing vehicles. Motorists, pedestrians, and others passing through or by the area are also at great risk of collisions or accidents.
Side shows result in the blockage of public roads, highways, and intersections. In this regard, they can have significant traffic impacts, including the blockage of police, fire, or ambulance vehicles responding to calls for service.
Side shows can also result in adverse impacts to public and private property. They can cause damage to city roads, sidewalks, and other utilities. They can also result in damage to private property on which events occur, usually without the knowledge of the property owner.
505
The proposed ordinance, requested by the Police Department, is intended to provide the City an enforcement tool for addressing and attempting to prohibit future side shows within City limits. The Ordinance would generally prohibit the gathering of crowds around occurring or planned side shows.
The City Attorney’s Office reviewed a number of other cities’ ordinances on the subject, and it has proposed an ordinance that is substantially similar to an ordinance the City of Pittsburg recently adopted. This Office believed the Pittsburg ordinance provided the best set of regulations for Oakley’s usage and believed consistency in regulations with another East County city would be beneficial for enforcement purposes.
If enacted, the proposed ordinance would add a chapter to the Oakley Municipal Code (Chapter 38, to Title 4 of the Code, which contains the City’s codes concerning public health, safety, and welfare) prohibiting the spectating of “illegal motor vehicle speed contests.” The ordinance would prohibit persons from knowingly gathering at such contests, or gathering when preparations are being made for the contests. The ordinance would define the nature and type of evidence that may be considered in determining if such violations are occurring.
The ordinance would include persons within 200 feet of occurring or planned event as violators. Those who violate the ordinance would be subject to potential misdemeanor prosecution. The City would also have other enforcement options, including treating violations as infractions or through civil fines or abatement.
At the July 12, 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council will be requested to waive the first reading, and introduce, the proposed ordinance. If the ordinance is introduced, the Council would consider its enactment at its August 9, 2022 meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council waive the first reading of, and introduce, the Ordinance Concerning Spectators at Illegal Speed Contests, Exhibitions of Speed, and Side Shows.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The proposed ordinance would further the Community Health and Safety goal in that it would promote the sub-goals of creation of safe streets and safe and healthy neighborhoods.

SUBJECT: Authorizing an Invitation for Bid to Purchase the 204 Second Street Property ______________________________________________________________________ Background and Analysis
The former City Hall office building —also known as “Women’s Club House” or “White House”—locates a block to the east at 204 Second Street has been vacant since 2018.
The property has been subject to trespassing, tampering, vandalism, and has required occasional cleanup actions at sites, diverting resources from other efforts.
In accordance with the authorization by the City Council, this property was officially declared as “surplus” property, and in December 2021, staff notified local governmental agencies and affordable housing sponsors as required by State law and HCD following per Government Code Section 54220 of the property being deemed as “surplus”. Local agencies had 60 days to notify the City of their interest in the property, and there was no purchase interest from those who were informed by the City.
History
This building is one of the oldest buildings that represent institutions important in the early development of Oakley. In 1905, it was constructed as a congregational church; then, it was purchased by the Oakley Women’s Club from 1916 to 1999. In 2000, the ownership was transferred to the City from Oakley Women’s Club and subsequently served as Oakley’s first city hall and archive depository until 2018.
Downtown Specific Plan
The property locates in the “Downtown Support Area (DSA),” which borders the Downtown Core Area on the north, south, east and west, and; will contain businesses that do not compete with the Downtown Core Areas, and focus less on amenity-oriented forms of development. Development in the DSA area will also encourage pedestrian-oriented businesses through mixed-use development.
STAFF REPORT
Approved and Forwarded to the City Council

Invitation to Bid
One of the critical components of the Invitation to Bid will be the requirement of the bidders to propose an actual development plan, rather than submit a purchase price. The purpose of the Invitation to Bid is to solicit a concrete development plan as opposed to real estate speculation. While no minimum bid requirement has been set, the most recent appraisal report has valued the property at $399,488.
Bids are to be received prior to 2:00 PM on Wednesday, July 27th, and bids received will be presented to the City Council at the August 9th City Council Meeting. The Invitation to Bid document will clearly indicate that the City Council may reject any and all bids. The proposed Invitation to Bid packet is attached. As required by Title 2, Chapter 8 of the Oakley Municipal Code, we will publish the Invitation to Bid in the Contra Costa Times, include the notice on the City’s website and in the Oakley Outreach email blast, and we will provide it to area real estate brokers and developers.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The recommendations included in this item are consistent with the following goals and objectives: The Community and Economic goal and Strategic and Thoughtful Growth (1) draw people downtown to live, work, and play, and (2) develop or sell City-owned properties based on community benefit.
Fiscal Impact
It is estimated that the City will spend approximately $300 on publication costs.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to proceed with the Invitation to Bid.

DISPOSAL AND LEASE OF REAL PROPERTY
Article 1 SALE OF SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY
2.8.102 Applicability
The procedure set forth in this section shall be applicable to the disposal of real property owned by the City of Oakley and determined to be surplus and excess property no longer necessary for public purposes.

Prior to disposal of surplus real property by public sale, the City Manager shall provide written notice to public agencies in the manner prescribed by Section 54220 et seq. of the Government Code. c. The following procedures apply if the property is not purchased by a public agency pursuant to Section 54222 et seq. of the Government Code.

Goals
537
Goal # 1
Prepare the City of Oakley to be a competitive
location for the attraction of new businesses and
new investment
A proactive approach to Economic Development involves laying the groundwork to prepare for the attraction of new businesses and new investment in the community.
The first step in this process involves identifying sites that have the most potential for new development or for the expansion/location of existing businesses. Maintaining an inventory and marketing these sites will allow for increased visibility from the development and business community.
Implementation Elements
Update and maintain the inventory of sites for new development listed on OppSites
Identify and maintain an inventory of vacant commercial space available for expansion/location on the Economic Development web page Partner with Building, Planning & Code Enforcement to coordinate and streamline development and permit activities
538
Goal # 2
Update the City marketing program
With the continuing work of preparing the City to be a competitive location, an ongoing marketing program is needed to “spread the word” of Oakley as a desirable location for new businesses and new investment. The marketing program will be updated to highlight Oakley’s advantages through printed materials and on the Economic Development webpage.
Implementation Elements
Update printed materials that promote the City to new investment. Materials to include the following:
City promotional piece
Demographics
Traffic Counts
Residential Development Activity
Update the Economic Development pages on the City’s website 539
Goal # 3
Facilitate new business opportunities and new
investment in the community
Attracting new development and new businesses to the City is a key component of any Economic Development program. Preparing the City (Goal #1) and marketing the City (Goal #2) will pave the way for success in attracting new businesses and investment.
Attraction activities center on the land that will be developed or the existing buildings that will house a new business/tenant. Identifying real estate with the most potential involves outreaching and developing relationships with realistic and motivated property owners. In addition, outreach and relationships with the development and brokerage community is a key component for attraction efforts.
Implementation Elements
Identify real estate with most development potential
Identify, develop and strengthen relationships with realistic and motivated property owners
Further develop outreach efforts to development and brokerage community through semi-annual luncheons
Partner with Claremont Companies to further new investment on the former DuPont property
Partner with regional organizations/initiatives including East Bay EDA and the East Bay Leadership Council
Contact prospective retailers through “cold calls” on a monthly basis 540
Goal # 4
Provide tools and resources to help existing
Oakley businesses grow and succeed
A majority of new jobs created in a community comes from the expansion of existing businesses. Providing the tools and resources that existing Oakley businesses need to grow and expand is crucial to the Economic Development effort. Implementation Elements
Enhance relationships with the business community through:
Annual business survey
Company visit outreach program – Oakley VIB (Very Important Business) Continue to strengthen the partnership with Oakley Chamber of Commerce Provide tools to promote local businesses through the “Shop Oakley” campaign, Oakley business coupon book, and local fishing tournaments Continue to implement and expand the Oakley Entrepreneur Development Program
Establish the Oakley Entrepreneur Incubator space and associated programs 11-week Entrepreneur Business Plan Training class
Semi-Annual Entrepreneur Training class business plan follow-up 541
Goal # 5
Improve the look and feel of the Downtown and
Main Street corridor while maintaining its small
town character
The “look and feel” or “sense of place” are key elements that the Economic Development program will work to convey in its attraction efforts. As Oakley continues to grow as a new city, the Downtown and Main Street corridors are key to conveying the image and vision that Oakley is working towards. Attracting new investment to the City and retaining existing businesses is linked to the image that the City conveys. Economic Development efforts will work to improve the look and feel of Downtown and the Main Street corridor, while still maintaining the small town character that Oakley does not want to lose in the push for new growth. Implementation Elements
Continue to promote the Downtown Revitalization Loan Program to facilitate building renovations in the downtown area
Identify and outreach to possible entities that could create events in the downtown that engage and meet the needs of the community and promote local businesses
Partner with the Planning Department to identify and capitalize on opportunities that could be realized from the anticipated train platform in Downtown Facilitate in bringing an upscale coffee and other “mom and pop” type of shops to Downtown

SUBJECT: Introduction to the Yellow Roof Foundation and discussion about a potential affordable housing project at 4981, 4901 and 4911 Teakwood Drive (APN’s: 035-322-019, 035-322-020, 035-322-021) ______________________________________________________________________ Background and Analysis
The City is in the process of disposing of several surplus properties. In September 2021, Staff brought an item forward that identified surplus properties and asked the City Council for authorization to move forward with the notification process as required by AB 1255 and AB 1486. Essentially, the notification process allows affordable housing developers to show early interest and requires the City to negotiate in good faith in the hopes of disposing of the property, in the event an affordable housing developer submits a Letter of Intent (LOI). That authorization from September 2021 was granted for the properties which are the subject of this report. During that notification, the City received a LOI from the Yellow Roof Foundation (YRF). The YRF, according to their website, is a non-profit public charity, founded in 2018 by Dave and Lori Sanson, owners of Concord-based DeNova Homes, Inc., the Yellow Roof Foundation is working to build affordable rental housing opportunities for families and individuals at risk for homelessness.
As part of the notification process and subsequent negotiation period that is required by Law, the City really only has one area in which we can control and that is the purchase price. The City does not have to accept anything less than Fair Market Value. The current LOI, attached to this report, shows an offer of $300,000 for the 3 parcels. The YRF would like to purchase the lots to construct deed restricted affordable housing in the form of a single-family residence on each lot with each home having an attached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). A concept plan including a floor plan and elevation is attached to give perspective to what the YRF is intending to construct. They intend to build what would look like a more traditional one-story home with a slightly higher roof

line, which allows them to tuck the ADU on a true second floor, without the bulk and scale of a traditional two-story home.
Staff had the three properties appraised and the appraisal revealed the following values:
4891 Teakwood Dr. $173,000
4901 Teakwood Dr. $189,500
4911 Teakwood Dr. $200,000
In total, the City believes the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the three parcels collectively is $562,500. In our discussions with the YRF, the City has made it clear that our priority is to maximize value on our surplus land, where it makes sense, and that reasoning relates to the many projects the City does not have funding for. Since these three parcels are vacant and ready for development, there has been a reluctance to accept anything less than FMV.
Staff is bringing this item forward so the YRF can introduce themselves formally and describe the project and the benefit of their potential project to the community.
The concept of affordable housing and the project as conceptually proposed does address the affordable housing issue that exists within the City and these units would count towards the units the City needs to plan for in this next Housing Element cycle.
Staff is looking for direction to either proceed with the YRF or cease those discussions and put the properties out on the open market.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The discussion is consistent with the Community and Economic goal of Strategic and Thoughtful Growth.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with this discussion item. The City does have the potential to realize $300,000 of revenue from the sale of the three parcels under the proposal submitted by the YRF.
Staff Recommendation
Staff is looking for direction to either proceed with the YRF or cease those discussions and put the properties out on the open market.
