DATE: January 27, 2026
TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kim Snodgrass, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Updating the City of Oakley’s Conflict of Interest Code Pursuant to the Political Reform Act.

Background and Analysis
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code sections 87100 et. Seq.), a conflict of interest code designates positions within an agency that make, or participate in making, governmental decisions that may have a material effect on the financial interest of the person holding such position. A conflict of interest code also indicates disclosure categories, which list the specific types of financial interests that must be disclosed annually by the designated official or employee.

To comply with the Political Reform Act, the City is required to review the conflict of interest code every two years. This process ensures that the list of "designated employees” - those required to file Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700)— reflects the current organizational structure and decision-making responsibilities of the City.

The City’s Conflict of Interest Code was last updated in September 2024. During the current review, staff identified several necessary amendments. These updates include adding new positions with decision making authority and removing titles that no longer exist or do not participate in the decision-making process.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the following changes:

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Billilee Saengchalern, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Oakley to Request the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for the Allocation of Fiscal Year (FY) 2026/27 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Project Funding
Background and Analysis
On an annual basis, MTC allocates funding under TDA Article 3 funds to San Francisco Bay Area municipalities for the purposes of funding pedestrian and bicycle facility improvement projects. TDA funds are acquired from statewide retail and gas sale taxes. “Article 3” refers to the portion of the Act involving pedestrian and bicycle projects.

MTC has not yet released the estimated bid target for Contra Costa TDA Article 3 funds for FY 2026/27, but last year’s total allocation was $1,393,898.00, which was available for municipalities to apply for on their respective projects. Eligible projects may include pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements, construction of new bicycle facilities, and development of bicycle safety education programs. The main objectives of the TDA grant program are to increase the safety and efficiency of bicycles and pedestrians who travel within a municipality’s transportation network.

MTC requires that each county and city have a Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) to review and prioritize TDA Article 3 projects and to participate in the development and review of comprehensive bicycle plans. However, since not every city has the local resources to form and operate its own BAC, MTC allows local agencies to apply for an exemption from TDA Article 3 BAC requirement, if the local agency identifies their respective countywide BAC as its representative body (in place of a local BAC) for the review of the TDA Article 3 funded projects. The City of Oakley has requested that the Contra Costa County BAC represent the City to review the City’s TDA Article 3 grant application.

The City of Oakley has identified CIP 320 – O’Hara Avenue Widening Project (600 feet south of Laurel Road to 300 feet south of Grapevine Lane) – and is currently preparing a grant application to pursue TDA Article 3 funds to support pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements within the project limits. The widening project will close the existing gap between previously improved segments of O’Hara Avenue, providing two northbound travel lanes from Carpenter Road to Laurel Road and eliminating a long-standing bottleneck that contributes to traffic congestion, particularly during school morning dropoff and afternoon pick-up periods.

City of Oakley | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561 2
O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.ci.oakley.ca.us The project is currently under design (expected completion February 2026) and construction is expected in the Summer of FY 2026/27. As part of the overall widening effort, the proposed TDA Article 3–eligible improvements include the following components:
 Roadway widening and reconfiguration to add a continuous second northbound travel lane, improving traffic operations and reducing congestion-related safety conflicts.
 Installation of new and upgraded bicycle facilities, including striped bike lanes through the project limits, to improve north–south bicycle connectivity and provide safer accommodation for cyclists.
 Construction and reconstruction of sidewalks along the east side of O’Hara Avenue to close existing pedestrian gaps and improve access to nearby neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and transit.
 Enhanced pedestrian safety features, including improved crossings, highvisibility striping, signage, and roadway geometry improvements designed to reduce vehicle speeds and improve driver awareness.
 Incorporation of bioretention areas and green infrastructure, if feasible, to manage stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and support sustainable roadway design consistent with City standards and water board requirements.

These improvements will complement the roadway widening and provide a safer, more accessible, and multimodal corridor along O’Hara Avenue, addressing long-standing congestion and safety concerns while supporting the City’s bicycle, pedestrian, and environmental goals.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety and Community Collaborative Partnership Goals.

Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 – Existing Facilities of the State of California CEQA Guidelines. Section 15301 of the State CEQA Guidelines exempts projects that involve existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities. This includes road grading for the purpose of public safety, and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities. 16 STAFF REPORT

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.ci.oakley.ca.us Fiscal Impact
Approval of the resolution will authorize the City to submit the final application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for TDA Article 3 funding in the amount of $200,000 to partially fund the project. The total project cost is estimated at approximately $2.0 million (including design and construction), with the requested TDA Article 3 funds dedicated specifically to the bicycle and pedestrian components of the project.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to submit the grant application for $200,000.00 for TDA Article 3 grant for CIP 320, O’Hara Widening Project.

14. Description of Overall Project:

The CIP 320 – O’Hara Avenue Widening and Safety Improvement Project will close a critical 930 feet gap in Oakley’s bicycle and pedestrian network by adding a dedicated, safe, and continuous bicycle path along O’Hara Avenue between approximately 600 feet south of Laurel Road and 300 feet south of Grapevine Lane. This segment currently has no sidewalk, no paved shoulder and no bike facility. As a result, children and adult cyclists routinely ride in the opposing traffic lane to avoid vehicle conflicts.

This project directly supports MTC’s TDA 3 program goals by delivering a new bicycle facility where none exists today, improving safety, expanding low-stress bike networks, and strengthening regional active-transportation connectivity.

The project corridor is one of the City’s most important multimodal routes:

1. Connection to the Delta de Anza Regional Trail
O’Hara Avenue is immediately adjacent to and provides direct access to the Delta De Anza Regional Trail, a major East Bay paved multi-use trail operated by East Bay Regional Park District. This project enhances that connection and provides a safe way for residents—especially students—to get between neighborhoods, schools, and the regional trail.

The new bike path will function as a local feeder route into this regional corridor, significantly improving access and mobility.

2. Key Bicycle and Pedestrian Access to Three Schools
The project lies within the activity sphere of Oakley’s elementary, middle, and high schools, all located within bicycling distance. Many students currently rely on walking or biking, yet the absence of a traversable bike path forces them either into traffic or onto dirt shoulders. The proposed improvement will provide a safe, paved, and designated bike facility, directly supporting Safe Routes to School (SRTS) objectives and reducing high-risk behavior such as riding against traffic.

3. Transit-Supportive Multimodal Corridor
O’Hara Avenue serves Tri Delta Transit routes, including school-focused transit service. Adding bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure supports first-mile/last-mile access, encourages multimodal travel, and improves safety at and near transit stops. Wherever bicycle facilities coincide with transit corridors, safety and ridership both improve—further advancing regional mobility goals.

4. Supports Existing and Emerging Activity Centers
Recent capital and private development—including CIP 280 (Laurel Road and O’Hara Avenue Widening) and the new Oakley shopping center at O’Hara and Laurel Road—has created new trip demand for bicyclists and pedestrians. The CIP 320 bike path will directly connect these destinations, creating a continuous bicycle-friendly corridor and reducing conflicts between motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

This project is currently in design, and is planned to be constructed in FY 2026/27, and is already funded for design in the FY 2025/26 budget. The TDA 3 application focuses solely on the project’s bike and pedestrian components, which are fully eligible under program requirements.

15.Project Scope Proposed for Funding: (Project level environmental, preliminary planning, and ROW are ineligible uses of TDA funds.)

16.Project Location: A map of the project location is attached or a link to a online map of the project location is provided below:

TDA 3 funds will be used exclusively for construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the CIP 320 project limits. Eligible improvements include:
 Construction of a new Class II or Class IV bicycle facility (final treatment determined during design) on the east side of O’Hara Avenue.
 Paved shoulder / multi-use path construction to provide continuous, ADA-compliant bicycle and pedestrian space.
 Pedestrian improvements, such as curb ramps, adjustments to sidewalks, and pathway continuity.  New striping, pavement markings, and signage for bicycles and pedestrians, including buffered lane and green enhanced bike lane treatments where feasible.
 Lighting and safety treatments to support safe walking and biking during early morning and evening school travel times.
 Drainage, frontage, and roadway edge improvements necessary to support the bike/ped facility.

No TDA 3 funds are requested for planning, environmental work, or right-of-way acquisition, all of which are funded or handled separately. This scope ensures the TDA 3 grant directly funds construction of the new bicycle path, creating safe and continuous active transportation infrastructure where none exists.

SUBJECT: Waive the second reading and adopt ordinance 1-26 adopting editorial corrections in relation to the 2025 California Building Codes which are adopted by reference
Background and Analysis
Every three years the various California Building Codes/Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, etc.) are updated by the California Building Standards Commission. These codes then become the construction codes within the various cities and counties throughout California.

Local governments are allowed to make amendments only when justified by some unique local factor.

The attached proposed ordinance provides the most recent California standards for 2026. There have been no substantive changes to the California Building Codes since the last California update; therefore, the proposed ordinance provides only the editorial corrections and would automatically adopt the 2025 California standards by reference for the next three years.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This ordinance is consistent with the strategic plan in such that it continues to promote safe and efficient construction within the City of Oakley.

Fiscal Impact
None.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council waive the second reading and adopt the proposed ordinance.

2) Section 105.5, Permits, is amended to read as follows:

Section 105.5. Expiration. Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null and void if the 33 Ordinance No. 1-26 Page 3 of 8
building, structure, equipment or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 365 days from the date of such permit, or if the building, structure, equipment or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days.

Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so, and the fee therefore shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work as set forth in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council, provided no changes have been made or will be made to the original plans or specifications for such work, and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year.

Any permittee holding an unexpired permit may apply for an extension of the time within which work may commence under that permit when the permittee is unable to commence work within the time frame required by this section for good and satisfactory reasons. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing with justifiable cause demonstrated and accompanied by an extension request review fee, as required by the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council.
3) Section 109.2, Schedule of permit fees, is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 109.2. Schedule of permit fees. On buildings, structures, electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing systems or alterations requiring a permit, a fee for each permit shall be paid as required, in accordance with the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council.

The Council is hereby authorized to set and amend all fees prescribed by this Code. Said fees may be adjusted periodically by the Council to ensure the full recovery of City costs relating to building permits and inspections.

Permit fees and any required plan checks are based upon the value of the project.

Electrical, plumbing and mechanical fees are based on a percentage of the building permit fee. The determination of value or valuation shall be made by the Chief Building Official. The Chief Building Official shall maintain the current fee schedule, and shall make it available for public review upon request. 4) Section 109.4, Work commencing before permit issuance, is amended to include subsection 109.4.1, Investigation, investigation fees, and work without a permit:

Section 109.4.1. Investigation, investigation fees, and work without a permit.

Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this code has been commenced without first obtaining said permit, an investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work. An investigation fee shall be collected 34 Ordinance No. 1-26 Page 4 of 8
whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee set forth in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
5) Section 109.6, Refunds, is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 109.6 Refunds.

Section 109.7 Re-inspections. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is scheduled and is not complete or when corrections called for previously are not complete.

This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re-inspection.

To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall call and schedule a re-inspection and pay the re-inspection fee set forth in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council.

In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.

Section 109.8 Plan review fees. When submittal documents are required, a plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submittal for plan review. Said plan review fee shall be a percent of the building permit fee as shown in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council.

The plan review fees specified in this section are separate fees from the permit fees specified in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council and are in addition to the permit fees.

When submittal documents are incomplete or changed so as to require additional plan review or when the project involves deferred submittal items as defined in Section 107.3.4.1 – Deferred submittals, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the rate shown in the current fee schedule as adopted by the Council. 35 Ordinance No. 1-26 Page 5 of 8

SUBJECT: Ironhouse Sanitary District – Freestanding Electronic Reader Board (SP 2025-03) - Adopt a Resolution Approving a Sign Permit for a DoubleSided Electronic Reader Board Sign.

Summary
This is an application by Ironhouse Sanitary District (“ISD”, "Applicant") requesting approval of a freestanding electronic reader board sign at the northwest corner of Main Street and Rose Avenue ("Project"). The proposed sign is located in the public right of way. The sign would be a double-sided LED electronic reader board with a 7’ 8” by 4’ 6” cabinet with a 34.5 square foot sign area and standing 8’ in height. The sign frame would consist of black aluminum. While the sign is proposed for the public right of way, the Ironhouse Sanitary District campus itself is zoned PS (Public and Semi-Public) District and its current address is 450 Walnut Meadows Drive. APN 037-191-041.

Background

GENERAL PLAN
Public and Semi-Public Facilities (PS) - The Public and Semi-Public Facilities (PS) designation provides for government owned facilities, public and private schools, institutions, civic uses, assembly uses, and public utilities, quasi-public uses such as hospitals and churches and supporting retail and service uses.

ZONING
P (Public and Semi-Public) - The purpose of the P District is to promote and encourage a suitable environment devoted to publicly owned government buildings and facilities, public community centers, libraries and museums, public educational facilities, public school districts facilities, public transit stations, public parking lots and structures, and other such uses directly or indirectly serving the general public.

CITY OF OAKLEY SIGN ORDINANCE
Oakley Municipal Code (“OMC”) Chapter 9.5, Regulation of Signs and Outdoor Advertising, is commonly referred to as the City’s Sign Ordinance. The primary purpose of the Sign Ordinance is to regulate the placement, type, size, and number of signs in order to minimize traffic and safety hazards and to ensure the installation and ongoing maintenance of high-quality, visually compatible signs that do not detract from property values or the social and economic character of the community.

The Sign Ordinance establishes definitions for various sign types, identifies which signs may be approved by Staff or the City Council, sets forth standards of review, regulates temporary signage, and identifies prohibited signs. It also establishes placement, size, and height standards applicable to all sign types.

Ordinarily, a freestanding sign would be subject to administrative approval pursuant to OMC Section 9.5.122, Administrative Sign Permits, subsection A.5. However, “Signs with Changes in Color or Intensity” are identified as prohibited signs under OMC Section 9.5.114. This prohibition includes LED signs capable of producing scrolling, flashing, blinking, or otherwise moving or changing copy. The Sign Ordinance includes a limited exception to this prohibition, stating that the City Council may approve reader board signs associated with the civic center, schools, or freeway signs. While this exception references certain civic and public-serving uses, the underlying intent is to allow City Council discretion for reader board signage serving public functions where community information, public notice, or governmental operations are involved. In this case, the proposed LED reader board signage is associated with a public special district that provides essential municipal services and serves a comparable public communication function to those identified in the ordinance. Subsequently, staff is processing the application as a City Council– reviewed request and is providing an analysis and findings for City Council 41 STAFF REPORT

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.oakleyca.gov
consideration to determine whether approval of the proposed reader board signage is appropriate under the Sign Ordinance.

Project Description
Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) proposes to install a new freestanding LED reader board sign at the northwest corner of Main Street and Rose Avenue in conjunction with broader public improvements at the intersection. The intersection of Main Street and Rose Avenue has long presented a visually stark and underdeveloped landscape, characterized by a worn driveway extending beneath the viaduct, minimal signage, bare gravel areas, and a lack of landscaping, with only a small sign indicating access to ISD and Diablo Water District facilities.

In response, Ironhouse Sanitary District and the City of Oakley have recently entered into a cost-sharing agreement to jointly fund the design of Capital Improvement Project (CIP) No. 211, which includes installation of a traffic signal previously identified as a safety improvement in the City’s Traffic Impact Fee Program. Public realm improvements associated with CIP 211 include the new traffic signal, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant ramps. In coordination with these improvements, ISD is proposing the installation of the reader board sign along with substantial new landscaping to establish a more welcoming and appropriate entrance to the facility.

The proposed 7’ 8” by 4’ 6” double-sided LED electronic reader board would be mounted on a concrete pedestal and used to display community information related to the sanitary district’s operations. The smooth-finished concrete pedestal would be unpainted and incorporate the facility address. An extensive new landscaping installation would wrap around the base of the sign. The combined height of the reader board and pedestal would be approximately 8 feet, measured from grade.

Analysis
The Oakley Municipal Code generally prohibits electronic signs that include changes in color or intensity, including LED reader boards except the City Council may approve reader board signs associated with the civic center, schools, or freeway signs. This exception reflects an intent to provide City Council discretion for reader board signage serving public, civic, or governmental functions where the communication of community information is appropriate and beneficial. Staff interprets this provision as extending to other public agencies and special districts that provide essential municipal services and serve a comparable civic communication role within the community. In this case, Ironhouse Sanitary District is a public special district responsible for wastewater services and public infrastructure that directly affects the health, safety, and welfare of Oakley residents. The proposed reader board is intended to communicate operational, public notice, and communityoriented information, consistent with the purpose of reader boards approved for other civic uses. Based on this interpretation, staff has processed the proposed reader board as a City Council–reviewed request and evaluated it using the same objective criteria applied to freestanding signs elsewhere in the City to ensure consistency.

APPLICATION OF SIGN ORDINANCE STANDARDS
Although the Sign Ordinance does not establish unique findings or standards specific to City Council-approved electronic reader boards, staff evaluated the proposed sign for consistency with the applicable provisions of the Sign Ordinance and documented this conformance in the findings included in the draft resolution.

Additionally, the project has been conditioned to further enhance consistency with City regulations and ensure ongoing compliance.

As an example of sign ordinance conformance, staff reviewed the proposed reader board for compliance with the freestanding sign standards in OMC Section 9.5.122.

Using the commercial and industrial freestanding sign standards as the closest applicable benchmark, the maximum allowable height is 8 feet and the maximum allowable sign area is 36 square feet per sign face. The proposed sign complies with these standards and, as conditioned, meets requirements related to placement, landscaping, addressing, and orientation. Furthermore, an extensive new landscaping installation will wrap the base of the sign, consistent with the freestanding sign regulations in the municipal code.

The municipal code includes design criteria for new signs, and staff reviewed the proposed sign for consistency with those requirements. The metal cabinet and concrete base will match the materials used in the surrounding capital improvement project, and those industrial materials are anticipated to be balanced by substantial landscaping installation. The code also calls for sign colors to be considered in relation to the landscape; staff find that the unpainted concrete is consistent with the 44 STAFF REPORT
CITY HALL | 3231 Main Street, Oakley, CA 94561 6
O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.oakleyca.gov
institutional character of the associated land use and complements the capital improvement project’s infrastructure. While the black color of the cabinet is unique for the site, a black frame has historically been used around visual images to create visual separation, boosts contrast perception, and gives the images on the reader board a clear “finish”.

Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15311 - Accessory Structures, of the State of California CEQA Guidelines. Section 15311 of the State CEQA Guidelines exempts projects when the proposed project consists of construction or placement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, including but not limited to signs.

Findings
Draft findings for this sign permit application can be found in the proposed resolution.

Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
Approval of this application would be consistent with the goals in the section of the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ entitled, “Community and Economic Development Goal”.

Careful consideration of the project in relation to the regulations in the municipal code and the proposed conditions of approval ensure the use meets community service demands while remaining compatible with Oakley’s neighborhoods.

Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact. This is a developer funded account. All Staff time and City of Oakley generated materials are charged to the account.

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution approving “Ironhouse Sanitary District – Freestanding Electronic Reader Board (SP 2025-03)”, as conditioned.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY MAKING

FINDINGS AND APPROVING A SIGN PERMIT FOR THE PROJECT KNOWN AS “IRONHOUSE SANITARY DISTRICT FREESTANDING ELECTRONIC READER BOARD (SP 2025-03)”, LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF MAIN STREET AND ROSE AVENUE, ADJACENT TO 450 WALNUT MEADOWS DRIVE (APN 037-191- 041)
WHEREAS, on July 18, 2025, Ironhouse Sanitary District (“Applicant”), submitted a Sign Permit (SP 2025-03) application requesting approval of a freestanding electronic reader board at the northwest corner of the intersection of Main Street and Rose Avenue (“Project”). The sign will be located in the public right of way. The sign is proposed to be a double sided LED electronic reader board with a 7’ 8” by 4’ 6” cabinet with a 34.5 square foot sign area and standing 8’ in height. The sign frame will consist of black aluminum; and
WHEREAS, on September 24, 2025, the project application was deemed complete per Government Code section 65920 et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the project site is designated Public and Semi-Public Facilities (PS) on the Oakley 2020 General Plan Land Use Map, and zoned P (Public and Semi-Public) District; and
WHEREAS, the project is exempt from further environmental analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301, "Class 1 - Existing Facilities"; and
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2026, the City Council considered the item as a regular calendar item where it received a report from City Staff, oral and written testimony from the applicant and public, and deliberated on the project. At the conclusion of its deliberations, the City Council took a vote and adopted this resolution to approve the project, as revised by the City Council during its deliberations; and WHEREAS, if any term, provision, or portion of these Findings or the application of these Findings to a particular situation is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Findings, or their application to other actions related to the Project, shall continue in full force and effect unless amended or modified by the City; and

WHEREAS, these Findings are based upon the City's General Plan, the City's Zoning Ordinance (Oakley Municipal Code Chapter 9.1), the City's Sign Ordinance (Oakley Municipal Code Chapter 9.5), and the information submitted to the City Council at its January 27, 2026 meeting, both written and oral, including oral information provided 52 Resolution No. XX-25 Page 2 of 5

by the Applicant, as reflected in the minutes of such meetings, together with the documents contained in the file for the Project (hereafter the “Record”).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT, on the basis of the above findings of fact and the entire Record, the City Council makes the following additional findings in support of the approvals:

A. The proposed LED reader board signage is to be utilized by a public special district that provides essential municipal services and serves a comparable public communication function to those identified in Oakley Municipal Code (“OMC”) Chapter 9.5, Regulation of Signs and Outdoor Advertising, as warranting Council review for a possible exception to prohibited signs. Ironhouse Sanitary District is a public special district responsible for wastewater services and public infrastructure that directly affects the health, safety, and welfare of Oakley residents. The proposed reader board is intended to communicate operational, public notice, and community-oriented information, consistent with the purpose of reader boards approved for other civic uses.

B. General Standards for Approval as required per Oakley Municipal Code Section

9.5.116(b.). In regard to the application requesting approval of a Sign Permit (SP 2025-03) to allow a freestanding electronic reader board in the public right of way, adjacent to Ironhouse Sanitary District’s facilities, the City Council finds that:

1. The materials, colors, design, height, size and scale of the sign are visually compatible with the structures, sites, and use to which the sign corresponds, and the neighborhood in which the sign is located, in that the sign will have a design appropriate to a public agency where the frame and monument pedestal will consist of black aluminum, the height and sign area are within the regulations for other similar freestanding signs, and the sign will have the facility’s address displayed on it; and

2. The placement and size of the sign will not threaten or impair the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorists in that the sign is subject to compliance with sight visibility regulations. The sign proposed in the public right of way will require an encroachment permit where additional assurance will apply to the specific location and visibility around the sign; and

3. The sign is of professional quality and will be clear and legible; and

4. The sign would be set in a manner that does not unreasonably impair the visibility of existing signs on adjacent properties in that its proposed location is at an intersection with very few examples of existing signage; and

5. The sign complies with the purpose and standards of Sign Ordinance in that its proposed design and conditions of approval limit the placement, type, size, and number of signs in order to prevent traffic and safety hazards, and 53 Resolution No. XX-25 Page 3 of 5

to ensure the installation and maintenance of quality, visually pleasing signage that will not detract from the property values, tax base, and social and economic standards of the community; and

6. The height and size of the letters and graphics on the sign enable pedestrians and motorists to readily identify the message, facility or site from a sufficient distance that will enable them to safely and conveniently read the message or access the facility or the site in that the copy is electronically interchangeable and font and graphics sizes can be changed to increase visibility and legibility of any message on the sign, and the project will have the applicable street and number address at the base of the sign.

C. The Project complies with Measure J Growth Management requirements.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, on the basis of the above Findings and the Record, the City Council approves of the Applicant's request for Sign Permit (SP 2025-03), subject to the following Conditions of Approval:

Conditions of Approval

Intent of Senate Bill 707 (“SB 707”)
Expand public access, modernize teleconferencing rules for elected officials, and ensure language access in communities with significant populations of non-English speaking residents.

Applicability

The Brown Act has evolved from a rigid "traditional" model requiring remote members to open their private locations to the public into a modernized hybrid framework that prioritizes digital accessibility. This transition, shaped by pandemic-era emergency rules, culminates in the 2026 standards under SB 707.
