b. Result in the loss of availability of a
locally-important mineral resource
recovery site delineated on a local general
plan, specific plan or other land use plan?

3.12.1 Discussion
Adoption of the Housing Element Update would not result in a significant impact to mineral resources. The Housing Element Update does not identify new areas for urbanization or nonresidential development and would not change the potential to affect any mineral resources. Similar to the Focused General Plan Update, the Housing Element Update does not include nor modify any goals, policies, or actions related to mineral resources. Therefore, the Housing Element Update would have no impact on mineral resources.

3.12.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to mineral resources.

3.13.1 Discussion
The Housing Element Update does not provide entitlements to any specific land use or development projects and does not include any specific infrastructure improvements or other capital improvement projects. The Housing Element Update also does not remove environmental protections or mitigation related to noise and would not modify existing programs or policies that would result in potentially significant noise and vibration effects. Future development would continue to be consistent with the urbanization patterns, development types, and intensities envisioned by the adopted General Plan and no new areas are identified for development or urbanization. The project includes revisions to housing policies and programs, but would not result in new development that would result in physical changes that generate temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels or excessive groundborne vibrations.

No new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City General Plan and evaluated for potential noise impacts in the City’s Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development would continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. Future housing projects would continue to be reviewed through the City’s entitlement process and CEQA to ensure that residents are not exposed to unacceptable noise and vibration levels, and that the projects are consistent with all General Plan goals and policies. More specifically, future developments would be reviewed to ensure that they are in compliance with the General Plan, including the Land Use Element and the Community Health and Safety Element, applicable Municipal Code sections, including Title 9 (Land Use Regulations), relevant design and performance standards, and applicable standards related to noise and 356

vibration. The project would not result in any new significant impacts not analyzed within the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND, nor does it worsen any impacts; impacts due to the project are less than significant related to noise.

3.13.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to noise. 357

14. Population and Housing. Would the project:
a. Induce substantial unplanned population
growth in an area, either directly (for
example, by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (for example,
through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
Pages 79-80 No No Less than significant
(same)
b. Displace substantial numbers of existing
people or housing, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
Pages 79-80 No No Less than significant
(same)

3.14.1 Discussion
The Project includes revisions to housing policies and programs, and does not propose new development that could induce substantial unplanned population growth or displace existing people or housing units. As described in Section 2, “Project Description,” the 2023-2031 RHNA for the City is 1,058 new units, which is a decrease of 110 units (a 9% decrease) compared to the previous 2015-2023 planning period of 1,168 units. Total growth assumed within the adopted Focused General Plan Update was 13,367 units, which would not increase due to RHNA requirements associated with this Housing Element Update. However, as discussed in Section 2, “Project Description,” the City has a projected shortfall of 434 units. However, the City would, through implementation of the mechanisms and programs outlined in the Housing Element Update, implement specific actions to guide the City and achieve the RHNA housing need within the City. This would allow for future accommodation of the projected affordable housing demand within the City, thereby avoiding the potential for induced population growth elsewhere in the region.

As directed by the mechanisms and program choices outlined in the Housing Element Update, the City would, as a later action, amend its zoning code and rezone potential parcels within the City to allow for additional residential capacity. However, the increase in residential capacity and specific locations of these amendments has yet to be determined and will be evaluated as a separate effort and discretionary action under CEQA once the program has been selected, funded, and drafted. Because the potential impacts associated with these amendments are too speculative for meaningful evaluation, specific details cannot be discussed or evaluated further, consistent with CEQA requirements (refer to CEQA Guidelines Section 15145).

As discussed above, no new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City General Plan and evaluated for potential environmental impacts in the City’s Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. Potential new housing sites would be evaluated in their respective environmental documents and are not evaluated in this document. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development will continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. The City Focused General Plan Update IS/ND considered population and housing projections consistent with the Housing Element Update in its analysis of physical impacts associated with future development in the City. Therefore, the Housing Element Update would not induce unplanned population and housing growth that is not already contemplated in the City General Plan. The project would not result in any new significant impacts not analyzed within the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND, nor does it worsen any impacts; impacts due to the project are less than significant related to population and housing.

3.15.1 Discussion
The Housing Element Update includes revisions to housing policy and programs, and does not propose new development that could result in new or physically altered public services facilities or provision of utilities and service systems. No new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City’s General Plan and evaluated for potential public services impacts in the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development would continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. The City Focused General Plan Update IS/ND considered the increased demand public services required to serve the population projected in the 2015-2023 Housing Element, and the RHNA for the proposed Housing Element Update would not increase. The location of new housing units or changes to density associated with implementation of the Housing Element Update and would be considered consistent with City General Plan policies, which preclude development within the City where adequate public services are not available. Future housing projects would continue to be reviewed through the City’s entitlement process and CEQA to ensure that public services are provided consistent with all City General Plan goals and policies and to ensure acceptable service ratios, response times, and facilities for public services. The project does not result in any new significant impacts not analyzed within the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND, nor does it worsen any impacts; impacts due to the Project are less than significant related to public services. 360

3.16.1 Discussion
The Housing Element Update does not contain goals, policies or programs or other changes that encourage the intensification of development or changes to planned development patterns that would result in increased demand for existing parks and recreational facilities that would result in substantial deterioration of the facility. While the Housing Element Update includes policies and actions to address the provision of parks and recreation facilities, it does not include nor require the construction or expansion of parks and recreational facilities. Additionally, the Housing Element Update does not remove environmental protections or mitigation related to development or provision of parks and recreation facilities. Rather, the Housing Element strengthens the City’s approach to addressing environmental impact, which would be applied to new, expanded, and rehabilitated parks and recreation facilities and improvements. The Housing Element Update does not provide entitlements to any specific land use or development projects and does not include any specific projects, including parks and recreation facilities and improvements. Future development, including parks and recreation facilities and improvements, would continue to be consistent with the urbanization patterns, development types, and intensities envisioned by the adopted General Plan and no new areas are identified for development or urbanization. Therefore, the Housing Element Update would not result in growth beyond that currently allowed and would not result in increased demand for parks and recreation and associated facilities and improvements. The potential impacts of parks and recreation projects would continue to be addressed pursuant to CEQA when project-specific details are available. Therefore, the Housing Element Update would have a less than significant impact on parks and recreation.

3.16.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to recreation.

3.17.1 Discussion
The Focused General Plan Update IS/ND evaluated transportation impacts associated with updates to the General Plan, including policy changes and actions that address sustainable development in addition to land use designations intended to improve the jobs-housing balance within the City while allowing for continued population growth of the City. Based on the analysis provided therein, the City (as a whole) would be consistent with established VMT reduction targets and would not conflict with existing plans or result in transportation hazards or inadequate emergency access. More specifically, the Focused General Plan Update would result in a per capita reduction in residential VMT from 26.76 VMT per capita to 22.49 VMT per capita under cumulative conditions. As a result, impacts associated with implementation of the Focused General Plan Update were determined to be less than significant.

The proposed Housing Element Update includes revisions to housing policies and programs, and does not propose new development that would result in conflicts with policies related to transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities; hazardous design features; or inadequate emergency access. The Project would not conflict with existing policies or ordinances. Further, no new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City General Plan and evaluated for potential transportation impacts in the City Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development will continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. Future housing projects would continue to be reviewed through the City’s entitlement process and CEQA to ensure that future housing projects are consistent with all relevant transportation-related City General Plan goals and policies, including the City’s policies related to managing vehicular travel demand. In addition, while no new housing sites have been identified, preference would be given to parcels that are located along transit routes or major roadway corridors and in proximity to commercial and employment centers. Because the City is generally urbanized, implementation of zoning programs that would increase density in areas along transit routes are anticipated to reduce overall per capita VMT by making the use of public transit more readily accessible. This is considered to be consistent with guidance from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR), which states that adding affordable housing to infill locations generally improves jobs-housing match, in turn shortening commutes and reducing VMT. Furthermore, a project 363
Ascent Environmental Environmental Checklist
City of Oakley
Housing Element Update Addendum 3-29
would reduce VMT through developing in areas near transit and increasing density and mix of uses (OPR 2019). Thus, implementation of the potential zoning programs that would increase density and meet the RHNA requirements is anticipated to reduce overall VMT. The project does not result in any new significant impacts not analyzed within the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND, nor does it worsen any impacts; impacts due to the project are less than significant related to transportation.

3.17.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to transportation.

The Housing Element Update includes revisions to housing policy and programs, and does not propose new development that would result in physical changes that could affect tribal cultural resources.

No new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City General Plan and evaluated for potential environmental impacts in the City’s Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development will continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. Future housing projects will continue to be reviewed through the City’s entitlement process and CEQA (including site-specific AB 52 consultation) to ensure consistency with federal and State policies and regulations, as well as consistency with all relevant City General Plan goals and policies, related to tribal cultural resources. The proposed Housing Element Update would not result in any new significant impacts not analyzed within the City’s Focused General Plan Update IS/ND, nor does it worsen any impacts; impacts due to the project would be less than significant related to tribal cultural resources.

3.18.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to tribal cultural resources.

3.19.1 Discussion
The Housing Element Update includes revisions to housing policy and programs, and does not propose new development that could result in new or physically altered public services facilities or provision of utilities and service systems. No new housing sites are proposed as a part of this Housing Element Update beyond those already designated in the City’s General Plan and evaluated for potential utilities and service systems impacts in the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND. No changes to existing zoning are proposed, and the location of development would continue to be guided by the City General Plan land use map and zoning code. The City Focused General Plan Update IS/ND considered the increased demand utilities and service systems required to serve the population projected in the 2015-2023 Housing Element, and the RHNA for the proposed Housing Element Update would not increase population projections within the City. The location of new housing units or changes to density associated with implementation of the Housing Element Update would be considered consistent with City General Plan policies, which preclude development within the City where adequate services are not available. Future housing projects would continue to be reviewed through the City’s entitlement process and CEQA to ensure that utility service is provided consistent with all City General Plan goals and policies and to ensure acceptable service and capacity. 366

3.20.1 Discussion
The City is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones (Oakley 2021). Recent (2022) and pending updates to fire hazard mapping by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection since the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND was adopted in 2021 did not modify or change designations within the City such that the project area is located within a state responsibility area or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones (CAL FIRE 2009, 2022). Therefore, the Housing Element Update would have no impact on wildfire.

3.20.2 Conclusion
No new circumstances or project changes have occurred nor has any new information been found requiring new analysis or verification. Therefore, the conclusions of the Focused General Plan Update IS/ND remain relevant and valid, and approval of the project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts to utilities and service systems.

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ADOPTING OPTIONAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ADOPTED CITY OF OAKLEY 2023-2031 HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN FOR THE PERIOD OF 2023-2031 IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE HOUSING

ELEMENT LAW
WHEREAS, the California Legislature has found that “California has a housing supply and affordability crisis of historic proportions. The consequences of failing to effectively and aggressively confront this crisis are hurting millions of Californians, robbing future generations of the chance to call California home, stifling economic opportunities for workers and businesses, worsening poverty and homelessness, and undermining the state’s environmental and climate objectives” (Government Code Section 65589.5.); and WHEREAS, the Legislature has further found that “Among the consequences of those actions are discrimination against low-income and minority households, lack of housing to support employment growth, imbalance in jobs and housing, reduced mobility, urban sprawl, excessive commuting, and air quality deterioration” (Government Code Section 65589.5.); and
WHEREAS, the Legislature recently adopted the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330) which states that “In 2018, California ranked 49th out of the 50 states in housing units per capita… California needs an estimated 180,000 additional homes annually to keep up with population growth, and the Governor has called for 3.5 million new homes to be built over 7 years”; and
WHEREAS, State Housing Element Law (Government Code Sections 65580 et seq.) requires that the City of Oakley City Council adopt a Housing Element for the eightyear period 2023-2031 to accommodate the City of Oakley’s regional housing need allocation (RHNA) of 1,058 housing units, comprised of 279 very-low income units, 161 low-income units, 172 moderate-income units, and 446 above moderate-income units; and
WHEREAS, to comply with State Housing Element Law, the City of Oakley has prepared the Housing Element 2023-2031 (the Housing Element) in compliance with State Housing Element Law and has identified sites that can accommodate housing units meeting the City’s RHNA; and
WHEREAS, as provided in Government Code Section 65350 et. seq., adoption of the Housing Element constitutes a General Plan Amendment; and WHEREAS, as provided in Government Code Sections 65352 – 65352.5 the City of Oakley mailed a public notice to all California Native American tribes provided by the Native American Heritage Commission and to other entities listed; and 374

WHEREAS, no California Native American tribe requested consultation; and WHEREAS, the preparation, adoption, and implementation of the Housing Element requires a diligent effort to include all economic segments of the community; and WHEREAS, the City of Oakley conducted extensive community outreach over the last 11 plus months including distribution of bilingual flyers, a bilingual online survey, inperson workshop with Staff and Consultants (noticed directly to over 3,500 residents, included on the front page of the City newsletter and webpage, advertised on electronic reader boards throughout the City, and shared on the City’s social media accounts), and a public presentation and workshops with the Planning Commission and City Council; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Government Code Section 65585 (b), on June 29, 2022, the City of Oakley posted the draft Housing Element and requested public comment for a 30-day review period, and on August 31, 2022, after responding to public comments, the City of Oakley submitted the draft Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for its review; and WHEREAS, on November 29, 2022, the City of Oakley received a letter from HCD providing its findings regarding the draft Housing Element (Exhibit C); and WHEREAS, on January 19, 2023, the City of Oakley published a revised draft Housing Element responding to HCD’s findings and requested public comment on the draft; and
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2023, the City of Oakley submitted the revised draft Housing Element Update to HCD for its review; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines Section 15164, the City prepared an Addendum to the City of Oakley Focused General Plan Initial Study/Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) for adoption of the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update (“CEQA Addendum”).

of the City’s adopted Housing Element. A recent court opinion has been issued by the State’s Fifth Appellate District that Affordable Housing Overlay Districts (AHO) in the City of Clovis do not satisfy its rezone program obligation to meet the lower-income Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for affordable housing (Martinez vs. Clovis). HCD is analyzing the implications of this opinion and how it may affect Oakley’s AHO. These optional amendments would expand the description in the Housing Element related to identifying potential AHO sites and a plan to place the AHO on them with the option to identify potential rezone sites where the base zoning would be amended to satisfy the lower-income RHNA obligation; and
WHEREAS, on May 2, 2023, the City of Oakley Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending the City Council approve a General Plan Amendment adopting optional amendments to the adopted City of Oakley 2023-2031 Housing Element of the General Plan for the period of 2023-2031 in compliance with State Housing Element Law; and

Chapter 3: Sites Inventory
Introduction
Every city and county in California is mandated through State Housing Element Law to demonstrate it has adequate sites available through appropriate zoning and development standards and with the required infrastructure for a variety of housing types and income levels. The City must demonstrate it has adequate sites with capacity to accommodate the projected need for housing through the 2023-2031 planning period.

This chapter describes the City’s assigned housing target, called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), and provides the City’s strategy for how it will accommodate the RHNA.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The State Department of Finance (DOF) is responsible for developing the total Statewide housing demand projection. With the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), this demand is apportioned to each of the State’s regions. The demand represents the number of additional units needed to accommodate the anticipated growth in the number of households, to replace expected demolitions and conversions of housing units to non-residential uses, and to allow for a future vacancy rate conducive to a healthy functioning housing market.

The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the Council of Governments (COG) representing the region, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, is responsible for allocating the region’s projected new housing demand in each jurisdiction. This process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and the goals are referred to as the RHNA goals or the “regional share” goals for new housing construction. The allocation takes into account factors such as employment opportunities, market demand for housing, availability of suitable sites and public facilities, community patterns, types and tenure of housing needs and others. The allocation is divided into four income categories:
 Very-Low Income – 0 to 50 percent of the median income  Low Income – 51 to 80 percent of the median income
 Moderate Income – 81 to 120 percent of the median income  Above-Moderate Income – more than 120 percent of the median income In determining a jurisdiction’s share of new housing needs by income category, the allocation is adjusted to avoid an over-concentration of lower-income households in one jurisdiction. In addition to the allocation in the four income categories, State law also 388
ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-2 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
requires cities to consider the needs of Extremely-Low Income (ELI) households earning 30 percent or less of the median income. The City assumes that 50 percent of the very low-income housing need is equal to the extremely low-income housing need. As such, there is a projected need for 139 extremely low-income housing units.

Table 3-1 shows the RHNA assigned to Oakley for the 2023-2031 Housing Element. It should be noted that the RHNA projection period is June 30, 2022 – December 31, 2030, which differs slightly from the Housing Element planning period of January 31, 2023 – January 31, 2031. As shown in the table, ABAG allocated 1,058 new housing units to Oakley, which includes 279 very low-, 161 low-, 172 moderate-, and 446 above moderate-income units.

Residential Sites Inventory
This section describes the residentially-zoned land available to accommodate the City’s RHNA. This includes entitled single-family lots that have not yet been built, vacant and underutilized sites that have potential for housing development, and a projection of accessory dwelling units.

Entitled Single-family Lots
Table 3-2 lists final subdivision maps for fully entitled residential developments. Most of these subdivisions are under construction. Building permits that were pulled prior to the start of the sixth cycle RHNA period (June 30, 2022) are counted toward the fifth cycle RHNA. However, the sixth cycle RHNA can be reduced by the number of lots that are entitled but have not been built or for which building permits were issued after June 30, 2022. As shown in table 3-2, there are eight entitled final maps with remaining capacity for 427 single-family units that can be credited toward the sixth cycle RHNA. All of these units are expected to be affordable only to above moderate-income households and are therefore credited toward the above moderate-income RHNA. After accounting for these entitled lots, the remaining above moderate-income RHNA is only 19 units. Entitled final maps are shown on Figure 3-1.

Vacant and Underutilized Sites
The Housing Element is required “to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income levels” (Government Code Section 65583.2(a)).

This section identifies vacant and underutilized sites in the inventory and describes the methodology for calculating capacity on these sites by income level.

Vacant Land In Tentative Subdivision Maps
The City has a significant amount of vacant land with tentative maps, either approved or under review, with capacity for 4,736 single-family units. Table 3-3 lists these sites, which are shown on Figure 3-1. The capacity on these sites is inventoried in the Housing Element based on the number of lots identified in the tentative maps.

Several of these tentative subdivision maps are within the East Cypress Specific Plan Area, with nearly 4,000 housing units planned. Property owners are actively working to build and certify the levee system to provide flood protection to the area. Development is expected to occur in phases as levee improvements are completed. Summer Lake North, which has capacity for 824 homes, recently completed an interim levee and is working to get it certified. Grand Cypress Preserve, which makes up a majority of the entitled portions of the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan, has 3,167 entitled homes. The development team has submitted levee plans and is working toward starting levee construction sometime in 2023.

Exact phasing and timing for development in the East Cypress Specific Plan is unknown at this time, but based on the anticipated timing of the levee improvements and stated interest by the developers, the Housing Element inventory assumes 25 percent of the capacity within this area to develop within the timeframe of the Housing Element, which is equal to 999 homes.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-11
Affordable Housing Overlay District Sites
The low- and very low-income RHNA categories, collectively referred to as the “lowerincome RHNA,” are almost always the most challenging income levels for cities to accommodate. Under State law, Oakley is considered a “metropolitan” jurisdiction because it is located within a metropolitan region with a population exceeding 2 million and has a local population that exceeds 25,000. State law establishes a “default density standard” of 30 units per acre for lower-income units in metropolitan jurisdictions. This is the density that is “deemed appropriate” to accommodate Oakley’s lower-income RHNA.

As described in Chapter 6: Constraints, the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) is the City’s primary strategy for meeting the lower-income RHNA. The AHO applies on top of the base zoning and allows housing densities that exceed the maximum units per acre otherwise allowed in a zoning district, if a development meets the State density bonus criteria.

Existing AHO Sites
The City originally created the AHO following adoption of the 2007 Housing Element to accommodate the lower-income RHNA and achieve State certification of the Housing Element. The AHO district was adopted with a density of 24 units per acre and higher densities could be achieved using a State density bonus. In previous Housing Element cycles, HCD accepted a market-based analysis demonstrating that 24 units per acre was an adequate density for building lower-income housing in Oakley. However, with changes in market conditions and more stringent review by HCD, 24 units per acre is no longer considered adequate, meaning that the City’s existing AHO sites (shown in Figure 3-1 and outlined in Table 3-4 below) cannot be counted towards the lower-income RHNA until the allowable density is increased to 30 units per acre. Because the existing AHO sites cannot count toward the lower-income RHNA at this time, the City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units and a rezone obligation. Action 1.1 in the Housing Plan outlines that as part of the City’s rezone program, the City will be increasing the maximum density of the AHO to 30 units per acre to be consistent with the default density standard. Once this action is taken, the existing AHO sites will count toward meeting the lower-income RHNA.

Additionally, all of these sites were previously counted in the fifth cycle Housing Element and are therefore subject to by-right approvals, as outlined in Action 1.1.

Candidate AHO Sites
The City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units. Per state law, the City has three years from the adoption deadline of January 31, 2023, to rezone enough land to accommodate 434 lower-income units, as described in Action 1.1. The City will go through a separate public process and take action to rezone an adequate number of sites to meet the lowerincome RHNA. Figure 3-1 shows the initial candidate AHO sites to consider for rezoning, with more details provided in Table 3-5 on each site. These candidate AHO sites have been presented and initially vetted by the public, the Planning Commission, and City Council, but could still change as the City begins working on the rezone program and solidifying sites to include in the AHO District. The City has also identified a list of potential AHO sites, outlined in Table 3-6 below. These sites, along with other sites, could potentially be considered and included in the AHO District as part of the rezone program. 398

Methodology for Estimating Capacity on AHO Sites
Government Code Section 65583.2(c) requires the City to demonstrate that the projected residential development capacity of the sites identified in the Housing Element can realistically be achieved. When establishing realistic unit capacity calculations, the City must consider development trends of existing or approved residential developments at a similar affordability level, as well as the cumulative impact of standards such as maximum lot coverage, height, open space, and parking requirements. Furthermore, when the site has the potential to be developed with nonresidential uses, requires redevelopment, or has an overlay zone allowing the underlying zoning to be utilized for residential units, these capacity limits must be reflected in the Housing Element.

In accordance with State law, the estimated capacity on AHO sites is not calculated at the maximum capacity of 30 units per acre, but instead at a realistic capacity or “discounted” capacity.

Realistic Density Assumptions
Sites in the inventory are generally assumed to build out at 80 percent of the maximum density. This includes AHO sites that would be included in the lower-income inventory.

Therefore, capacity on AHO sites is calculated based on a density of 24 units per acre, which is 80 percent of the proposed maximum density of 30 units per acre. Recent affordable housing developments in the City have generally been built at or above the density of 24 units per acre. Affordable housing developments above 24 units per acre have utilized a State density bonus to exceed the 24 unit per acre limit. The following is a list of recently built or approved affordable developments on AHO-zoned sites and the density at which they were built:
 Twin Oaks Senior Residence Mixed Use (under construction): 22.2 units per acre (92.5 percent of base density)
 Carol Lane Apartments (built in phases)
 Oak Ridge Family Apartments: 24.0 units per acre (100 percent of base density)  Oak Meadows Family Apartments: 31.6 units per acre (132 percent of base density)  Oak Forest Senior Villas: 27.3 units per acre (114 percent of base density) 401
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-15
The average density of these recently built affordable housing developments in the AHO District is 26.3 units per acre. While two of these projects used a State density bonus to exceed the base density of 24 units per acre, under the proposed increase to 30 units per acre, future affordable housing developments are expected to be built at higher densities than past developments. The realistic density of 24 units per acre used in this analysis is conservative based on these development trends.

Non-Vacant Site Assumptions
While most of the sites in the sites inventory are vacant, some of the sites, particularly the existing AHO sites, have existing single family homes on the sites and are therefore considered non-vacant. Once the City implements Action 1.1 and increases the density on AHO sites to 30 units per acre, the City will be relying on non-vacant sites to meet about 40 percent of the lower-income RHNA.

Most new development in Oakley involves demolition of an existing single-family structure on a large rural lot to build residential subdivisions. Examples of this trend include:
 The Vines at Oakley Subdivision, a 9.8-acre site consisting of a single-family structure and vineyard, that redeveloped into a 63-unit residential subdivision.  Construction on the 108-unit Acacia Subdivision is currently underway on a 13.4-acre site, which once consisted of two homes on two rural residential parcels.  The approximately 140-acre site of the Emerson Ranch Subdivision developed into a 671-unit subdivision, along with a park, stormwater pond, and future 8-acre commercial site is another example. Before development, the site contained two rural residential homes.
 More recently, two homes were removed from the Elm Lane/Anton multi-family project, which is currently under construction. This large-family workforce housing project of 170-units includes 16 affordable units and is developing on an AHO site.

ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-16 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
The sites in the AHO inventory have similar characteristics to these sites and others that have been recently developed in the City. The nine non-vacant AHO sites included in the inventory all have older single-family homes. It is common in Oakley for existing older homes to be torn down to allow for new residential development, or the existing home sometimes remains and new residential infill is built around it. None of the non-vacant sites have existing commercial uses. However, recognizing that existing uses might be an impediment to housing development, the capacity calculations for AHO sites that have existing uses have been discounted by 25 percent to provide a more conservative estimate for future capacity. The site profiles on the following pages describe the age and condition of existing single-family homes on non-vacant existing and candidate AHO sites.

Overlay vs. Base Zoning Assumptions
Because the AHO is an overlay zone, the base zoning of the AHO sites allows for uses other than multifamily housing to be built. Where the base zoning of an AHO site allows for commercial or single-family residential development, the capacity calculations have been further discounted by 25 percent to account for the possibility that the site could be developed with something other than multifamily housing. Discounts are shown in Tables 3-4 and 3-5 and noted in the site profiles for the existing and candidate AHO sites.

AHO Capacity and Site Descriptions
Figure 3-1 shows the location of the existing and candidate AHO sites as well as all other sites included in the Housing Element inventory. Table 3-4 identifies the existing AHO sites, Table 3-5 identifies the candidate AHO sites, and Table 3-6 identifies the potential AHO sites. Following the tables are individual site descriptions for both existing and candidate AHO sites. As described above, the inventoried capacity has been discounted for non-vacant sites and sites with base zoning other than multifamily. After accounting for realistic density and these additional discounts, on some sites this results in a more than 50 percent reduction of the actual capacity for housing. The resulting capacity is reflective of development trends on AHO sites during the Fifth Housing Element cycle, during which about 40 percent of the combined very low- and low-income RHNA were met on AHO sites.

Downtown Specific Plan Sites
The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP), adopted in 2010 and last amended in 2017, establishes development standards for Downtown Oakley. The DSP has three subareas:
the Downtown Core (DC), the Downtown Support (DS), and the Residential Commercial Conversion Opportunity (R/CCO). The three subareas allow for residential uses at different densities, as follows:
 Downtown Core: Up to 45 units per acre
 Downtown Support: 17 to 24 units per acre
 Residential/Commercial Conversion Opportunity: Up to 16.7 units per acre Housing Element Chapter 6: Constraints, provides more details on the development standards and requirements for the DSP.

There are five sites within the DSP that are included in the Housing Element sites inventory. Four of the sites are in the Downtown Support Area, where residential infill is recommended, and one site is in the Downtown Core Area. Based on the City’s history of approving multifamily housing at or above 24 units per acre (see Realistic Density discussion on page 3-13), the capacity on the sites in the DSP Downtown Support Area is based on a realistic density of 17 units per acre, which is equal to 70 percent of the maximum density. The one site within the Downtown Core, where there is no minimum density but a maximum density of up to 45 units per acre, a realistic density of 24 units per acre is assumed, based on the City’s history of approving multifamily housing at this density. (Note: there are also two proposed AHO sites within the DSP boundary. These sites are described in the AHO discussion above and are not included in the summary of DSP sites.)
The densities allowed in the DSP could provide for a broad range of housing types. Based on the allowed densities, the size of the sites, and the requirements of the DSP, these sites are considered appropriate to accommodate the moderate-income RHNA.

However, there is a new requirement of State law - Assembly Bill 725 (2021) – which requires that at least 25 percent of the remaining above moderate-income RHNA be accommodated on sites that allow at least four units of housing, and that at least 25 percent of the remaining moderate-income RHNA be accommodated on sites that allow at least four units of housing but a density of no more than 100 units per acre. As described on page 3-2, Oakley has a remaining need of only 19 above moderate-income units, meaning that 5 units in the above moderate-income category must be met on sites meeting the AB 725 criteria. The City has a remaining moderate-income RHNA of 172 units, meaning that at least 43 units in the moderate-income category must be met on sites meeting the AB 725 criteria. The DSP sites are used to satisfy the requirements of AB 725.

The DSP sites shown on Figure 3-2 and in Table 3-7 have a total estimated realistic capacity of 226 housing units. The Housing Element allocates 5 of the total units toward the above moderate-income RHNA to satisfy the 25 percent requirement and allocates the remaining 221 units toward the moderate-income RHNA.

All Other Sites
In addition to the AHO sites and DSP sites, the City has approximately 267 acres of vacant and underutilized residential land without a current project entitlement or development agreement in place. Altogether these other sites are anticipated to accommodate 16 of the moderate-income RHNA and 776 of the above moderate-income RHNA, assuming 80 percent of maximum capacity on sites. Sites included in Table 3-8 are shown on Figure 3-1. Appendix B describes each vacant and underutilized parcels, identifying the zoning designation, General Plan designation, APN, acreage, existing uses, realistic capacity, and maximum development potential.

All of the underutilized parcels are minimally developed with single family homes and/or accessory structures and do not have extensive development that would limit the future use of the parcel for the residential uses considered in the General Plan.

Projection of Accessory Dwelling Units
Per State law, a projection of the number of ADUs expected to be built within the eightyear planning period can also be considered as part of the inventory. The City has seen a slight increase in the rate of ADU production since 2018 when the State passed several bills to facilitate ADUs statewide. In 2020, the City adopted an ADU ordinance consistent with the requirements under State law. Table 3-9 shows the total number of ADU building permits issued by year since 2018. ADU production has remained steady, with the City issuing permits for 2.4 ADUs per year, on average. 416

For the purpose of the Housing Element, the City assumes that ADU production will continue at the same pace experienced since 2018, resulting in 19 ADUs counted toward the 2023-2031 RHNA. ABAG prepared the Affordability of Accessory Dwelling Units in September 2021 to provide jurisdictions a foundation for housing element assumptions.

The report is based on a statewide survey conducted by the University of California at Berkley’s Center for Community Innovation, in collaboration with Baird + Driskell Community Planning in 2020. ABAG analyzed the raw survey data for Bay Area ADUs constructed in 2018 or 2019 to determine affordability. According to the ABAG report, 43 percent of ADUs, based on the East Bay counties surveyed, are assumed to be used as short-term rentals, home offices, or other non-residential uses. As such, of the 19 ADUs expected to be produced, only 10 ADUs are assumed to be available on the market as rental housing or housing for family and friends.

Using ABAG affordability recommendations for ADUs, the sites inventory includes a projection of 6 ADUs affordable to lower-income households, or 60 percent of the projected ADU units. Three ADUs, or 30 percent of projected units, are affordable to moderate-income households, and 1 ADU, or 10 percent of projected units are affordable to above-moderate income households.

RHNA Summary
Table 3-10 provides a summary of Oakley’s ability to meet the 2023-2031 RHNA. Based on the housing units in residential entitlements, Downtown Specific Plan sites, vacant sites with tentative maps, all other sites, and projection of ADUs, the City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units, and a surplus of 68 moderate-income units and 2,505 above moderate-income units. The City must identify at least 21.7 additional acres to accommodate the shortfall of 434 lower-income units. The City’s plan to address the rezone obligation is described in Policy Action 1.1.

Alternative Rezone Approach
A recent court opinion issued in April 2023 by the State’s Fifth Appellate District found that Affordable Housing Overlay Districts (AHOs) in the City of Clovis do not satisfy its rezone program obligation to meet the lower-income RHNA (Martinez vs. Clovis). As a result, HCD is currently analyzing the decision and suggested that the City amend the adopted City of Oakley 2023-2031 Housing Element to include an alternative approach to meeting the lower-income shortfall if the overlay zone is determined to not satisfy the rezone program requirements. The alternative approach would be to modify the base zoning to satisfy the lower-income RHNA obligation. Sites identified in this Housing Element as candidate AHO sites would still be considered in this alternative approach.

These sites, along with additional sites, will be vetted and confirmed through a public process outlined in Policy Action 1.1. The optional amendments would only require implementation if HCD determines Oakley’s AHO will not satisfy its lower-income RHNA rezone obligation.

Infrastructure Availability
This section addresses the adequacy and availability of water, sewer, and dry utilities relative to the sites in the inventory. Availability of infrastructure is not expected to pose a constraint on residential development within the time frame of the Housing Element.

The following paragraphs summarize the status of each of those services essential to residential development.
418
ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-32 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
Water
The Diablo Water District (DWD) provides water service to Oakley and surrounding areas within its Diablo Water District Sphere of Influence (SOI), which includes the Cypress Corridor, Hotchkiss Tract, Veale Tract, and Knightsen, as well as the City of Oakley.

Additionally, DWD is the Groundwater Sustainability Agency within its SOI and is responsible for the management and protection of groundwater resources and interconnected ecosystems. The City and its SOI expansion areas are entirely within the DWD boundary.

The DWD 2020 Facilities Plan and 2020 Urban Water Management Plan identify the sources of DWD’s water supply, existing and projected water use, and the storage, treatment, and distribution system needed to serve its customers. DWD’s 2020 Facilities Plan indicates that DWD currently serves about 42,000 residents and anticipates serving a 2040 population estimated at about 64,000 persons. In 2019, DWD’s average day demand was 4.9 mgd and the maximum day demand was 10.0 mgd. At buildout, an average day demand of 12.55 mgd and a maximum day demand of 25.1 mgd are forecast. Water storage, treatment, and distribution facilities will need to be extended under buildout conditions, which is anticipated by the DWD 2020 Facilities Plan.

Groundwater use and quality is managed through a variety of mechanisms. DWD’s groundwater is from the East Contra Costa Subbasin, which is managed under the East Contra Costa Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (ECCS GSP). DWD is the Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) that is charged with the implementation of the ECCS GSP for the Oakley area. The ECCS GSP addresses historical and projected water supply, establishes a water budget for historical, current, and projected conditions, establishes sustainable management criteria to address water use and quality, and includes actions and implementation measures.

DWD’s water supply is adequate to meet the RHNA and all of the sites included in the sites inventory are served by adequate water infrastructure or have planned access.

Sewer
The Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) provides wastewater service to Oakley, Bethel Island, and unincorporated areas of eastern Contra Costa County. The City of Oakley and its SOI areas are entirely within ISD’s boundary. The wastewater services involve the transmission of wastewater from residential, commercial, and light industry to a treatment facility and the final disposal of the wastewater and residual waste solids.

ISD’s infrastructure includes gravity and pressure pipelines, pumping stations, and the Ironhouse Water Recycling Facility (IWRF). The IWRF is located on 285 acres adjacent to the south side of Big Break and the San Joaquin River; ISD also owns approximately 3,500 acres on Jersey Island. The IWRF has a current treatment capacity of 4.3 mgd dry weather flow and 8.6 mgd maximum wet weather flow.

Significant development has and is expected to occur within ISD’s boundaries, consistent with the City’s General Plan. ISD will continue to be responsible for providing adequate infrastructure for collection, conveyance, treatment, and recycling. This will require that 419
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-33
the District implement phased improvements to its infrastructure, including its treatment and recycling facilities, pump stations, force mains, and other pipelines.

The ISD has capacity to meet the projected housing needs through the Housing Element Planning Period. All of the sites in the sites inventory have adequate sewer access or planned access.

Dry Utilities
Electricity and gas is provided to Oakley by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Telephone, cable and broadband services are provided by a variety of services providers, including AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon. All of the sites identified in the inventory have access to dry utilities or planned access.

Environmental Constraints
Figure 3-3 shows environmental constraints in Oakley. As described in the Constraints Chapter, the biggest environmental constraint in Oakley is flood risk. The East Cypress Specific Plan is within the 100-year flood zone. A comprehensive engineered levee system will be constructed as part of the development of the Specific Plan for flood control purposes consistent with FEMA requirements. The levee system will protect new development while enhancing protection of existing residences within the Specific Plan Area. The engineered levee will extend completely around the boundaries of the proposed new development within the Specific Plan Area but will not surround the wetlands/dune area or the existing agricultural and residential areas located north and east of the development area. The new master levee system will remove existing single family residential areas adjacent to East Cypress Road from the 100-year storm event floodplain and will provide improved emergency access to existing residents along Sandmound Boulevard, Dutch Slough Road and adjoining areas in the event of a breach of the existing non-engineered levee surrounding these areas. The engineered levee system will also serve as a primary component of the comprehensive development of multi-use trails within the Specific Plan Area. Multi-use equestrian, biking and pedestrian trails will be developed on the top of each levee connecting to multi-use trails within arterial roadways and greenways within the Specific Plan Area. 420

Chapter 8: Housing Plan
Goals and Policy Actions
This section describes the City of Oakley’s Housing Plan for the 2023-2031 Housing Element planning period. The Housing Plan identifies specific goals and actions to address housing needs and meet statutory requirements. In developing this Housing Plan, the City assessed its existing and future housing needs, evaluated the performance of existing programs, and collaborated with residents and stakeholders to identify sites for future affordable housing.

The City of Oakley has identified the following goal topics:
 Production of New Housing
 Preservation and Conservation of the Existing Housing Stock  Increase Access to Housing Opportunities
For each goal, the City developed a set of actions to carry out the goal. The actions specify objectives, primary responsibility, and an estimated timeframe for accomplishment. These timeframes are general guidelines and may be adjusted based on City staffing and budgetary considerations. At the end of the Housing Plan, Table 8-2 summarizes the quantified objectives for the 2023-2031 Housing Element planning period.
423
ADOPTED MARCH 28, 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 8-2 CHAPTER 8 | HOUSING PLAN
Goal 1: Production of New Housing
Provide adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of regional housing needs, including housing for special needs groups, through appropriate zoning and development standards; and where appropriate, removal of identified governmental constraints to the development of housing.

ACTION 1.1: REZONE ADEQUATE SITES TO MEET

REMAINING RHNA NEED
To ensure the availability of adequate sites to accommodate the City’s projected future construction needs by income category, the City shall rezone adequate sites to accommodate the remaining RHNA of 434 lower-income units for the 2022-2030 RHNA projection period. The Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) District will be applied to at least 21.7 acres and will establish a minimum density of 20 units per acre and maximum density of 30 units per acre consistent with the “default density” standards of Government Code Section 65583.2(3)(B) and shall expand the base zones to which the AHO may be applied. The City will emphasize distributing the AHO sites more evenly across the city and in more developed and well-established areas, ensuring new sites are identified in higher income areas to affirmatively further fair housing. The City will establish a minimum affordability requirement of 20 percent and ensure that the AHO permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by right pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(i) for developments in which 20 percent or more units are affordable to lower income households. In accordance with Government Code Section 65583.2(h), at least 50 percent of the City’s remaining lower income RHNA need (217 units) will be accommodated on parcels designated exclusively for residential uses. The City will identify new AHO sites through a public process that includes education and addressing community concerns about the benefits and impacts of affordable housing.

The City will make an effort to involve all segments of the community in the selection of AHO sites and modifications to the AHO ordinance, including lower-income residents and organizations that represent them. If HCD determines that the AHO is not a satisfactory tool to meet the lower-income RHNA rezone obligation, the City will pursue an alternative approach to rezone sites where the base zoning would be amended to a minimum of 20 units per acre and maximum of 30 units per acre to satisfy the lowerincome RHNA obligation and would also be pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2 (h)(i). The City will consider the candidate AHO sites, along with additional sites, in implementing this alternative approach.

Objective: Provis ion of adequate sites to accommodate the remaining Regional Hous ing Needs Allocation of 434 extremely low-, very low-, and low-income units. Modifications to AHO Ordinance to facilitate the development of more hous ing choices for lower-income hous eholds . Inclus ive community engagement that involves lower-income res idents .

ACTION 1.2: MAINTAIN AN INVENTORY OF AVAILABLE

LAND RESOURCES
The City shall maintain a current inventory of Housing Element sites to assist developers in identifying land suitable for residential development. To ensure adequate sites are available throughout the planning period to meet the City’s RHNA, the City shall continue to update the inventory on an ongoing basis as projects are approved and new sites are rezoned. To ensure sufficient residential capacity is maintained to accommodate the RHNA need, the City shall make findings related to the potential impact on the City’s ability to meet its unmet regional housing needs allocation when approving applications to rezone sites included in the lower- and moderate-income sites inventory or develop a lower- or moderate-income housing element site with fewer units or at a higher income than what is assumed for the site in the Housing Element sites inventory, consistent with “no-net-loss” zoning requirements in Government Code Section 65863. If at any point it is determined that the City does not have adequate capacity to meet the unmet lower- or moderateincome RHNA, the City shall identify and make available a replacement site within 180 days.

DATE: May 9, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
SUBJECT: Update on the Oakley Senior Center including a Resolution that would Approve the Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City and the Oakley Senior Citizens
______________________________________________________________________ Background and Analysis
On February 28, 2023, the City Council approved an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation of up to $20,000 for the Oakley Senior Citizens (OSC) non-profit so the OSC could continue to remain open in a time where they are facing financial uncertainty. At that time, their situation was bleak, and they could only fund operations for a few remaining months. Since then, the OSC has met with City Staff to discuss their plan to become financially sustainable. They have also raised a significant amount of money, a little over $9,000, since February. That tremendous effort in a short period of time should be acknowledged as it shows their commitment to improving their financial position. They still have work to do, but the effort and results so far are positive.

As part of this item, Staff has asked the OSC to present their plan to the City Council as was required with the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation this past February.

The first date in which the OSC could request reimbursement from the ARPA allocation would have been April 1, 2023. As of writing this report, no reimbursement request has been made. Staff recommends that the City Council still allow the ARPA allocation reimbursement based on the facts received in the OSC proposal if the group continues to make positive strides towards financial independence. Staff will continue to monitor the situation and work closely with the OSC to ensure they stay on track.

In addition, there are a few lease-related items listed below that Staff recommends the City address so that the agreement meets the OSC’s needs and allows them to operate with certainty. :

STAFF REPORT
Approved and Forwarded to the City Council
435
Oakley Senior Citizens
May 9, 2023
 The current lease expires on June 14, 2023. Staff recommends amending the lease agreement to capture the OSC’s continued use of the City property as well as extend that lease through the end of this year. At that point, Staff recommends administratively extending the lease for a period of six months with the ability to renew for additional six-month increments until such time that the City has certainty for the long-term use of the property. Those extensions would be handled at a Staff level unless there are other modifications to the lease agreement that would require City Council action.
 The current lease does allow the OSC to sublease the Senior Center. However, the Agreement contemplates full market rent for the space if it is sublet. Staff is proposing to modify that provision to allow the OSC to sublease the space to organizations and uses that the City would deem acceptable. The City would require the OSC to develop a fee schedule to ensure they are charging for the use of the space appropriately (consistent with what the City charges for use of our Recreation Center or similar spaces) and Staff would also ensure that anyone subleasing the space would have to provide insurance held to the same standards and coverage requirements as the OSC.
 The current lease requires the OSC to pay for all utilities and services that service the building and the property, including the grass area that is part of Dewey Park. Since that is a public area, Staff is suggesting the Agreement be modified so that the City pay for the water needed maintain the park.

A third amendment to the existing lease has been prepared that addresses these three issues.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
The actions included in this item are consistent with the following goals and objectives:

Community and Collaborative Partnerships Goal
 Collaborative Partnerships Sub-Goal: We will foster and maintain strong relationships with our public-private partnerships to mutually benefit our shared goals.

Fiscal Impact
There is a limited fiscal impact associated with the modification of the lease agreement. The City’s cost for the water usage for Dewey Park is estimated at $3,600 annually. 436

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report by the Oakley Senior Citizen group.

Staff additionally recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement between the City and the Oakley Senior Citizens.

Current Efforts to Raise Funds: Fundraising committee meetings are led by Candy Hogan and held every other Monday where we report updates on upcoming events and work in progress. The OSC board meets the first Tuesday of the month to discuss completed and future plans. Allan Perry and Donna Baker continue to oversee all events while working with the City of Oakley officials.  Monthly Bingo Games have been put onto our activities list. Applications have been submitted for bingo licenses and permits. Board member, Richard Walsh, was not able to secure the large bingo display from the former Antioch Senior Club.
 First Saturday of the month flea market for $10 a table with one area for the center to sell donated items.  May 6th Car Show where the owners will be charged $20 entrance fee. Local businesses are being contracted to ask for support and goody bag items. Keller-Williams Realtors secured a food truck.  Allan Perry is in contact with the Bus Company and casinos for future trips for every other month.  All events to be advertised in The Press, City of Oakley and social media.  Donation letter for any or all possible business or individual supporters.  Planning is underway for two dinner events: July 22nd Chicken Barbeque and October 14th Tri-Tip BBQ.

Donna Baker is working with Park and Rec. to have the rental fee waived for use of the Rec. Center building on O’Hara. During the Spaghetti Feed, we discovered that our kitchen, northern & center bays (former parking bays for fire trucks/equipment) and parking was not large enough for this event.  Applications will be submitted for a non-profit rate booth at all Oakley events where we will sell bottled water, canned soda, packaged snacks and raffle tickets. Membership drive and handouts will be given out with information about our center. We are not equipped to sell beer and wine at this time.  Fiber Arts group to hand make items for sale and raffles with donated supplies.  We will continue to sell advertisement space in monthly membership newsletter.  Donna Baker to continue attending small business & nonprofit classes offered from City of Oakley and LMC.

East Bay Small Business Development Center has been contacted for assistance and mentorship. 438
 The City has waived the use fee for the park on May 6th and all City of Oakley fees for one year.  All board members have signed up to accomplish work duties and committee chairs.

Efforts to monthly and annual lower expenses:
 Allan Perry and Donna Baker are working with The City on the following:
o A. Lowering our rising monthly PG&E bill. The lights, heater and air are turned on only when needed and off when the building is empty. The City is working to install weather stripping under the doors and securing edges of the garage doors. The City ordered parts to get the garage doors working and safe. We open them for food distribution, flea market and activities. The City replaced a broken window.
o B. We explored the possibility of having a separate water meter or smart meter for the adjacent park. We pay for the water use of the park without control of the time of day, length and amount of watering throughout the year. Water inside the building is limited to our kitchen and bathrooms when building is in use.
 The board will visit the following items for future meetings:
o Reduce center hours to 3 or 4 days a week to reduce utilities. The board is concerned for our receptionist and custodian who receive their salary from SCSEP. o Request our able-bodied members re-caulk windows.
o To save on newsletter postage, members who do not have internet access will be given four options: 1. Provide us with an email address for a friend or family member 2. Pick up their newsletter 3. Pay an additional fee (determined by cost of paper, ink and postage). 4. One more option would be to create a $25 membership level for printed & mailed newsletters. o Notify leaders of each group (Vets, CC Café, Meals on Wheels, 4-H, Exercise, Fiber Arts, Cane Defense, Square Dancing, Food Bank) that we need to cut our budget. We would gladly accept any donations to help pay for their building use as we are not allowed to charge rent. o Receive updates from the Fundraising Committee. Board members are requested to bring their own list (or someone else’s) of suggestions on how to reduce expenses. We need to plan a comprehensive budget with wiggle room for unplanned expenses.

Reimbursement Plan: Our treasurer, Barbara Sparks, will provide the City of Oakley a monthly financial statement of income and expenses with totals on a mutually agreed upon date (such as within the first 5 days after the close of the month). This will allow our treasurer to pay all expenses for reimbursement.

Thank you for all of your help and consideration as we know that the City of Oakley does not want the Oakley Senior Center to close. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Sincerely,
Allan Perry Donna Baker

22. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is hereby expressly declared to be of the essence of this Lease and of all the covenants, agreements, conditions and obligations herein contained.

23. NON-WAIVER OF BREACH. The waiver by City of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such terms, covenants or conditions or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained.

24. EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF PRIVILEGE BY CITY. The exercise of any right or option or privilege hereunder by City shall not exclude City from exercising any and all other rights, privileges, and options hereunder and City's failure to exercise any right, option or privilege shall not relieve Seniors from Seniors' part to be performed hereunder nor from damage or other remedy for failure to perform or meet the obligations of this Lease.

25. VA CA TING OR ABANDONMENT OF PREMISES. Seniors shall not vacate or abandon the leased premises any time during the lease term; and if Seniors shall abandon, vacate or surrender said leased premises, or be dispossessed by process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Seniors and left on the leased premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of the City, except such property as may be mortgaged to the City, if any.

446

26. SURRENDER OF LEASE NOT MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Seniors, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not constitute a merger, and shall, at the option of the City, terminate all of the existing subleases or sub-tenancies.

27. REMEDIES OF CITY OR DEFAULT. This Lease is made upon the express condition that if default be made in the payment of the rent above reserved, or any part thereof, or if Seniors fail or neglect to perform, meet or observe any of Seniors' obligations hereunder, or if Seniors shall abandon or vacate said leased premises, City or the legal representative of City, at any time thereafter, without notice or demand, may lawfully declare said term ended, and re-enter the said demised premises, or any part thereof, either with or without process of law, and expel, remove and put out Seniors or any person or persons occupying said leased premises and may remove all personal property therefrom, and store the same in a public warehouse at the cost of and on account of Seniors, using such force as may be necessary to again repossess and enjoy said leased premises as before this demise, without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant or condition, and without liability to any person for damages sustained by reason of such removal. City may likewise, at City's option, but at the cost of Seniors, and in addition to any other remedies which City may have upon such default or failure or neglect and without notice to Seniors, petition the Superior Court of the State of California for and be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver and said court may appoint such receiver and vest in him such powers and authority as may be necessary or proper to fully protect all the rights herein granted or reserved to City. Any such receiver may take possession of any personal property belonging to Seniors and used in the conduct of the business then being carried on by Seniors in the said leased premises, and may use the same in conducting such business on the leased premises, without compensation to Seniors.

Should City elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may, in addition to any other remedies City may have upon such default, failure or neglect, either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, relet the said leased premises, or any part thereof, for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as City, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to said leased premises. Rentals received by City from such reletting shall be applied: First, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than rent, due hereunder from Seniors to City; second, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; third, to the payment of any cost of such reletting, including commissions; fourth,

447
to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the leased premises; and the residue, if any shall be held by City and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should such rentals received from such reletting during any month be less than that agreed to be paid during the month by Seniors hereunder, then Seniors shall pay such deficiency to City. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly.

No such re-entry or taking possession of said leased premises by City shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Seniors or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, City may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. Should City at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedy it may have, it may recover from Seniors all damages it may incur by reason of such breach, including the worth at the time of any award of damages of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent reserved in this Lease for the balance of the term and charges equivalent to rent for the remainder of the stated term, and including the cost of recovering the leased premises over that which Seniors proves could reasonably have been avoided, pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of California. No notice of the exercise of any election given City herein need be sent to Seniors.

28. NO RELOCATION BENEFITS: As stated in Section 2 of this Agreement, Seniors acknowledges that the term of this lease agreement is three years and City reserves the right to terminate this lease agreement for any reason and at any time with ninety (90) days written notice to Seniors.

Seniors warrant and represent to City that Seniors do not have nor shall Seniors claim any right to relocation benefits under any provision of any State of California or federal law and Seniors knowingly waive the right to make any claim against the City for relocation benefits in the event City elects to terminate this Lease for any reason or at the expiration of the Lease term. Seniors further warrant and represent that they have no other right or claim to compensation arising out of or connected with the acquisition of the leased premises by the City and agree never to assert such a claim. Seniors hereby agree to commence plans for a long-term location for its operations other than the leased premises.

29. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment and subletting, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all the parties hereto.

448

30. DEFINED TERMS. The words "City" and "Seniors" as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in masculine gender include the feminine and neuter. If there be more than one City or Seniors the obligations hereunder imposed upon City or Seniors shall be joint and several.
