BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2012, the City hired Carollo Engineers to develop a Storm Drainage Master Plan that modeled the City’s existing storm drainage system. The 2012 plan identified several key infrastructure improvement projects including new storm drain lines on Linda Mar Boulevard, new storm drain lines on Avalon Drive and Edgemar Avenue, and a new storm drain pump station located in the vicinity of Clarendon Road and Lakeside Avenue, adjacent to the Sharp Park Golf Course. Although City staff sought funding for these projects, no funding was identified, and the projects were not constructed.
A Study Session with Council was held on July 11, 2022 regarding the 2022 Storm Drainage Master Plan (2022 SDMP). This is also being developed by Carollo Engineers and significant outreach to the community was conducted through social media to allow for input from the public. One of the purposes of the Study Session was to update Council on the progress of the 2022 Storm SDMP. Other objectives for the Study Session were to obtain the Council’s comments to help finalize the 2022 SDMP. Topics that were discussed at the July 11, 2022 Study Session included flow monitoring, hydraulic modeling, public outreach efforts, design storms, and potential impacts from climate change.
Below are follow-up topics of interest that were raised by City Council during that Study Session, along with staff corresponding responses:
Packet Pg. 8
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
1.) 100-Year Storm Design:
Council requested that the SDMP discuss the 100-year design storm. The 100-year storm is also called a 1%/year chance storm event. The SDMP report will identify the volume of rain associated with the 100-year event per Council request (including the existing 100-year event and the future event with climate change impacts). As is the case for most municipalities, the City’s storm drainage system is not designed to accommodate a 100-year design storm and developing system improvements to accommodate that level of storm would be cost prohibitive, particularly considering the City’s current availability of funding for storm drainage projects. Additionally, waiting to secure this high level of funding to build such a system likely would delay drainage improvements for years. The 2022 SDMP designs improvements for 50- year storm events as this is considered a robust design and best practice.
Additionally, flows related to projected climate change have been included in the design calculations, providing an added factor of safety. This allows for a good balance in the design of cost versus risk.
2.) Low Impact Development (LID):
LID measures are used to reduce runoff and mimic a site’s predevelopment hydrology. They retain and treat stormwater runoff using infiltration, evapotranspiration, rainwater harvesting/use or biotreatment. One such example is a bioretention basin located on Crespi Drive, adjacent to Cabrillo School. Stormwater runoff flows into the bioretention basin so that any debris from the street can settle out of the stormwater and be treated by the retention basin. Examples of LID measures will be provided during the staff presentation during the Study Session.
3.) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Data Volumes:
The WWTP flow average between wet weather months and dry weather months is
0.84 MGD (Million gallons per day). The implementation of a sewer system infiltration and inflow (I/I) reduction program on the City’s sewer system, as is proposed in the current Wastewater Capital Improvement Program, will likely reduce the amount of I/I that runs through the system and is treated at the plant. The ultimate success of I/I reduction programs varies depending on a number of factors, including the sources of I/I, and nature and extent of I/I mitigation performed. Reducing I/I into the WWTP would provide a significant benefit; however, it is not possible to accurately quantify the impact this would have on the City’s storm drainage system. One of the reasons related to this is the unknown nature of where blocked I/I will flow. It may not necessarily flow to the storm drain system and may instead flow to waterways, continue as groundwater, or become surface drainage. The City continues to assess the issue of I/I in the sewer system and will also assess impacts of I/I repairs on the City’s storm drain system.
Existing and Future System Analysis and Recommendations:
A temporary flow monitoring program was initiated to capture wet weather stormwater runoffs during the month of December 2021 for the SDMP. With the flow rate data captured, a hydraulic/hydrologic model was developed to understand the storm drain system’s existing capacities such as allowable flood depths and to identify deficiencies. The hydraulic models were run with existing 10-year, 24-hour events and 50-year, 24-hour events which included contributions from climate change.
The 2022 SDMP was developed using 10- and 50-year storm events and allowable flood depths were evaluated for each design storm (including future increases in the 10- and 50-year design storms due to climate change). The hydraulic models for 10-year, 24-hour events and for 50- year, 24-hour events were analyzed, and the recommended improvements were classified into Packet Pg. 9
Pacifica City Council 3
September 26, 2022
three types:
• Category 1 Improvements - These projects are needed to mitigate severe flooding concerns under the 10-year and 50-year design storms. Based on the risk of severe flooding that may cause property damage, these are identified as the highest priority storm drain projects and include the Lower Linda Mar, Monterey Road, and Sharp Park Improvements.
• Category 2 Improvements - These projects are needed to address ongoing drainage issues that are considered less severe than the Category 1 improvements (i.e., areas where there is a lower potential for property damage compared to the Category 1 improvements). The project is comprised of Edgemar Avenue Improvements. • Category 3 Improvements - Category 3 includes projects to address model simulated flooding under the 50-year design storm that have not historically been observed by City staff, nuisance drainage as well as other projects to extend storm drain infrastructure to unserved areas. Although important, delay in constructing these projects is not anticipated to cause near-term property damage. These projects could be implemented during larger utility upgrade or development projects. These projects include Madeira Drive, Rockaway Beach Avenue, and Lauren Avenue.
Preliminary Planning Level Costs:
Preliminary construction costs for the proposed improvements shown in the 2022 SDMP were developed in conjunction with Freyer & Laureta, an engineering firm specializing in storm drain improvement costing. The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) defines an Order of Magnitude Estimate for master plan studies as an approximate estimate made without detailed engineering data. These are considered high-level estimates and a final detailed project design would be necessary for more accurate costing. Higher contingencies are included as part of the estimate to account for this.
These high-level project cost estimates are calculated based on a variety of elements, such as the project location, size, length, land acquisition needs, and other factors. As noted above, allowances for project contingencies (consistent with an “Order of Magnitude” type estimate) are also included in the project costs prepared as a part of this study for better cost accuracy. The proposed system improvements, capacity upgrades, and long-term maintenance plan set the foundation for the City’s storm drainage system CIP. The cost estimates presented in this study are developed from bid tabulations, cost curves, information obtained from previous studies, and Carollo Engineers experience on other projects. The costs are based on an Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENR CCI).
Category 1 Improvement Construction Costs: - As noted, these projects are needed to mitigate severe flooding concerns under the 10-year and 50-year design storms. These are the highest priority projects due to the higher risk of flooding and include:
• Lower Linda Mar Boulevard – Installation of new 30” and 36” storm drain lines on Linda Mar Boulevard and installation of larger catch basins in Arguello Boulevard and Anza Drive - approximate project cost $5,200,000.
• Monterey Road – Installation of new storm drain lines and catch basins on Monterey Road. Modification may include a new storm drain line within Big Inch Creek - approximate project cost $6,900,000.
• Sharp Park – Construction of a new storm drainage pump station, storm drain lines to pump station, force main, and new outfall to the Pacific Ocean - approximate Packet Pg. 10
Pacifica City Council 4
September 26, 2022
project cost $6,000,000.
Total Category 1 Project Costs: $18,100,000
Category 2 Improvements - These projects are needed to address ongoing drainage issues that are considered less severe than the Category 1 improvements would experience (i.e., areas where there is a lower potential for property damage compared to the Category 1 improvements). These projects include:
• Edgemar Avenue – Upsize existing storm drain line and adding new storm drain lines on Manor Drive, Edgemar Avenue and Avalon Drive - approximate project cost $5,000,000
Total Category 2 Project Costs: $5,000,000
Category 3 Improvements - Category 3 includes projects to address model simulated flooding under the 50-year design storm that have not historically been observed by City staff, nuisance drainage as well as other projects to extend storm drain infrastructure to unserved areas. These projects include:
• Maderia Drive – Upsize existing storm drain line from 21” to 30” for capacity - approximate project cost $500,000
• Lauren Avenue – Install new 15” storm drain line on Lauren Avenue - approximate project cost $1,200,000
• Rockaway Beach Avenue – Install new 15” storm line on Rockaway Beach Avenue and outfall to creek - approximate project cost $700,000 Total Category 3 Project Costs: $2,400,000
Other steps that will be taken to complete the 2022 SDMP will include identifying funding options, such as grants or low interest loans, to ensure that projects can transition to the construction phase; and complete the final 2022 SDMP Report, tentatively scheduled for completion in November 2022.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
There are no alternative actions at this time.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
The 2022 Storm Drainage Master Plan is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Stewardship of City Infrastructure: includes repairing/replacing outdated city facilities such as city hall, the libraries, fire stations, etc., improving streets, and responding to impacts of sea level rise. The 2022 Stormwater Drainage Master Plan will recommend areas in the City for improving stormwater drainage infrastructure network while taking into account the effects of sea level rise.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a direct result of this study session. Council approval of the Final 2022 Storm Drainage Master Plan would be presented at a later date for consideration.

Mayor Bier stated she can ask her question now.
Councilmember Vaterlaus referred to vacating property, and asked if the city has ever done any improvements or paving on that property.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that he will see if Director Petersen or a city engineer can answer that specifically. He thought PW Dep. Director Bautista is with us.
PW Dep. Director Bautista stated that the city has not done any improvements to that piece of property and it is as it was for a very long time.
Mayor Bier opened public comments for items only on the consent calendar, Items #1-13.
Mgmt. Analyst Barranti introduced the speakers.
Lindsay Raike, Pacifica, thanked her for pronouncing her name correctly as the first person to do that at a Council meeting. She is the CEO of Warmwater Wellness. She thanked Council for putting Item 6 for the Mickelson Therapy Pool, hoped it passes and wanted to add to her request, expressing the specific requests.
Christine Boles, Pacifica, stated she wanted to speak on two items on the consent calendar, first Item #2, minutes where she referenced a couple of things mentioned in her testimony that are missing and she felt were important; and, regarding Council’s recent approval of the project at the end of Talbot where in her testimony there were also things mentioned that were missing which she also felt were important. Second, Item #13, where she is confused by the language and expressed her request for clarification.
Mayor Bier closed public comments.
Councilmember Beckmeyer suggested they pull the minutes and allow staff the opportunity to review the items that Ms. Boles brought forward and approve the rest of the consent agenda as she didn’t know a practical way to do that without staff having an opportunity to look at it in this moment as she couldn’t imagine a way that they can amend those minutes and approve them, so she proposed putting them aside, look at it and decide what needs to be amended if necessary and bring it back.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that this topic has come up about the detailed nature of meeting minutes, and he reminded Council that the recording of meetings have all the verbatim language used, and the meeting minutes are detailed summary level minutes and are not intended to capture all the verbatim comments provided. He stated that they wouldn’t want to engage in updating the minutes now during this meeting and push it off to a future meeting, but it didn’t sound like the claim was that there were factual inaccuracies but what has come up before is that, when every detail that is commented is not captured in the minutes, even though they are captured in the recording of the meetings. He thought it was a policy question for the Council as to whether they really want to go through the task of adding back in a lot of details that aren’t captured in the current written minutes because it is staff time and city resources when the record and recording already contain all that.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that his comment had more to do with whether or not Councilmember Beckmeyer still is pulling the item. He asked her if she is pulling the item.

Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that, in light of the fact that the issue at hand was an appeal, she is pulling the item.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated he has very brief comments on Items #5, 6 and 13. He stated that, if they are pulling Item #2, they will have public comment on it and he asked Ms. Boles to have specific page numbers and approximately where the comments she is referencing are so they know where to look, that would be helpful.. He referred to the question asked on Item #13, and the impression he got from reading that the city has not claimed ownership and that they will be holding a hearing to determine whether or not somebody thinks they should claim ownership and go from there. He asked if the City Manager can untangle that knot.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that it is accurate that this is setting a hearing that will be held, but he will turn to PW Dep. Director Bautista regarding details.
PW Dep. Director Bautista stated that the county did not accept the dedication and this process is to publicly vacate any interest that the city has on Hotel Way and they are going through the formal process of publicly vacating a right-of-way.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to Ms. Raike’s comment on item #6 regarding sending a cover letter and doing a press release. He asked if that is something that can go through staff or do they want Council to deliberate on that for a moment, in which case he asks if he should pull it if staff wants them to deliberate on it.
City Manager Woodhouse asked if that was a question for him.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that it is a question for him or any other pertinent staff member.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that transmitting the city’s action via letter would be a normal course of action, but what would be different is issuing a press release. He stated that they can do that, but the one difference is that the pool is not in Pacifica so we are tangentially related. It serves citizens from Pacifica but if other cities have issued press releases, they can do that, adding that they really focus press releases more on very city specific items. He stated that he can get Council direction or work with the mayor about whether they do that piece of it. He was okay with the letter and they would welcome any language that are suggested to transmit the letter.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to Item #5, stating he learned two things he did not know before reading No. 5, i.e., that the city still uses fax machines and the other being that they will be missing our PB&R Director Perez and it was a touch of sadness that he read that particular item. He stated that they will have until December to properly lavish him with more praise. He then was happy to put forth the consent agenda minus Item #2.
Councilmember Beckmeyer seconded the motion.
City Clerk Coffey took a vote on the Consent Calendar excluding Item #2 by verbal roll call.

Mgmt. Analyst Barranti introduced the speaker.
Christine Boles, Pacifica, stated that this is regarding her testimony on packet page 26, and she reminded Council that they have had this discussion before, and she understands that staff has summarized public comments on issues, but that appeal testimony is different and it should be accurately reflected in the minutes. She stated that she typed her notes from her presentation for the appeal and she would be happy to share with the City Clerk to make her job easier.
Mayor Bier closed public comments.
Councilmember O’Neill asked Asst. City Attorney Bazzano about common practice, i.e., are the notes we keep very typical for what a city needs to be legally and are the minutes of appeals to City Council different than the general minutes.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that most jurisdictions do a summary rather than verbatim and some city’s only record the action in the minutes. She stated that the majority do summary minutes and some just record the actions taken. She stated that, in terms of whether appeals are more important than other items, she stated that you just pick a process and be consistent with that process, as one item is not more important than another but they typically find a process that works for the city and be consistent in that process.
City Manager Woodhouse added for clarity, to have the nomenclature the same. He stated that the type of minutes Pacifica does are very detailed summary minutes, almost verbatim, and when Asst. City Attorney Bazzano refers to summary minutes, that is a much more general summarization and action minutes are just the action. He wanted to be sure they were on the same page on how much more detailed we do minutes compared to other jurisdictions, typically.
Councilmember O’Neill prefers they keep the minutes the way they are. If there is a citizen who wishes to put some amendments, they could attach them to those minutes and they become part of the record. He asked if that is an option.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that she or anybody can send in their comments or edits to the minutes as a public comment prior to the meeting, and that would become a record of the meeting, but the minutes are the ones that are adopted by Council, and unless the Council makes an amendment to the meeting minutes before them, there would not be any changes.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he would keep it the way it is.
Mayor Bier personally thinks, in this case, it is okay for them to change the minutes because it is an appeal, and that was one of the reasons why Councilmember Beckmeyer asked that it be pulled in the first place, and she thought they should accept her changes to the minutes.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they would need to see what those amendments are before Council makes any decisions about agreeing to the amendment.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that was what she was asking for, i.e., whatever the proposed changes or what is perceived to have been left out or in whatever way it isn’t accurate or reflecting the recollection of Ms. Boles, as she has made her comments and has offered that staff take a look at it and bring back any recommended changes and they can put it on their

Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they are continuing this item to allow for review of the minutes.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mgmt. Analyst Barranti introduced the speaker.
Suzanne Moore, Pacifica, stated she was still concerned about the timeline presented by staff on August 8 for our housing element and she shared her concerns on the issue as well as suggestions for the process including a more inclusive outreach.
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he has nothing to report as his groups are still on summer breaks.
Councilmember Vaterlaus attended the Fairmont Homeowners Association board meeting and requested a fireman to come and speak about keeping wildfires away from their homes which was a great thing. He suggested things they can do and they also talked about the fact that, at one point, the blue dots in the street were provided by the Association for past pavings and they wanted to make sure the blue dots will still be in the street after this next paving. She stated she was in a statewide group about electrification and she attended that meeting which had a lot of interesting information. She stated that the Recovery Coordination Council for Covid met and they said there is still definitely Covid out there and we all know and everyone must continue to take precautions, etc. She stated that there are about 50 people in the hospital each day and the numbers are small compared to how it used to be, and they are no longer counting positive cases since there are so many at home tests. They talked about grants and they have a lot of money for grants, especially for child care. She suggested they look at San Mateo County Strong if interested in grants. She went to Grocery Outlet where they handed a check to Pacificans Care and they earned $13,000 that went towards four community groups through Pacificans Care. She attended both the Republicans and Democrats meetings with some Council candidates at one and all of them at the other. She attended the Fog Fest committee and she asked everyone to make sure it is in their calendar as they will have a big parade and all of the Councilmembers are going to be in the parade, which she thinks will be a first in a long time. She had another meeting with Kevin Mullin and he talked about sea level rise. She

stated that they often hear about sea level rise and they talk about the bayside, and she said something about the coastside and he said he was in favor of protecting the coastside from sea level rise. She stated that he had other items but that was the one most tied to Pacifica.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she would give them a flavor of the Coastal Commission meeting she attended a couple of weeks ago in Calabasas. She traveled there to participate in the local government workshop and they have met five or six times. She stated that it is intended to be an in person meeting with representatives, all the Coastal Commissioners, representatives from the Coastal Cities Group which is part of Cal Cities, otherwise known as the League of Cities, and the county’s group, and there were representatives from Ventura, Del Norte, Monterey and Santa Barbara counties, and she attended. The chair of the Coastal Cities group from Santa Barbara city, Councilmember Friedman, Ed Sprigs from Imperial Beach and Ed Waage from Pismo Beach. She stated that there was one other person from Ft. Bragg who attended by Zoom as they have a fully integrated hybrid meeting format with the Coastal Commission. She will give specific updates on what was discussed at a future Council meeting, but the meeting was productive, positive and exciting for her to hear Mr. Sprigs speak because he has attended every single one since the inception. She stated his work was on another group called the Sea Level Rise working group, and he was positive about the tone and conversation. They had two presentations for which she will be giving them specifics, one from a city and one from a county, in terms of a case study of working through their LCP with the challenges, successes, rough spots and where they stand. She thought it would be useful if she writes it up for them in advance so they have something to look at before the meeting and they can have more of a question/answer and she can fill in some gaps for them. She attended the Democrats meeting and she attended the Coastal Conservative meeting and the Pacifica School Volunteers board meeting but she didn’t make it to the Economic Development Committee meeting that was rescheduled for last week. She stated that, if the Mayor was there, she can give an update on it.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that as usual, he reflects on Ukraine as long as they will be fighting for their freedom. He attended a meeting with Councilmember Beckmeyer and PCE staff and the City Manager in regard to REACH codes. He thought they will be beginning their REACH code update around September with the intention of being done with our new construction codes by the end of November. He thought they spent time discussing new construction being done as a part 1 and existing construction REACH codes will be more complicated and they will do it as part 2. They will discuss REACH codes and existing construction which is a spectrum from very simple and easy for everyone in our community to do versus they probably don’t want to touch that in our community with a ten-foot pole. It will be a separate process to keep things simple until it needs to be more complex. He was excited that the process was getting underway. He attended the Historical Society fundraiser where the Ohlone café served them lunch, and he stated that he saw Councilmember O’Neill there. He was working that day and got there as quickly as he could and didn’t hear the full story but what he heard was uplifting to hear from the native people. He stated, if he could eat that way every day, it was delicious so he felt more nutrients going into his body than in a long time. He met with Charles Stone who is running for County Supervisor in another district who is a Councilmember in Belmont and it is strengthening the relationship in things like the housing element that come up and he is able to get perspective from a different city and how they have been dealing with it, and what they can expect as going through the process and it was a fruitful discussion. He stated that he attended an Emergency Preparedness meeting and they discussed the San Mateo County emergency safety event which was successful. He was reminded to recommend Zone Haven to everyone and if you don’t know your zone, look it up, as it is part and parcel with San Mateo County alert system, and you get the text directly to your

phone. He loves that it tells him if there is major traffic problems somewhere which it frequently does and he can think better planning which way he’s driving on any given day. He stated that the members of Emergency Preparedness are getting excited to do their booth at Fog Fest on September 24 and 25. He stated that the free Covid testing site on Francisco and Salada is still open on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 am to 8 pm. He had a brief catch up meeting with Tina Wehrmeister. He attended the Democrats candidate forum on Saturday following which there was a cigarette butt art can contest judging event he was able to go and see, and enjoyed watching the cans being judged. He stated that Katrina Rill with Congresswoman Jackie Speier’s office was there and he had a nice conversation with her and a friend from Menlo Park Ray Mueller was at the candidate forum and the contest judging and it was nice to check in with him as well. He stated that, apparently every third Saturday, there is a community dance at the Pie Ranch in Pescadero and he was there and it was very wholesome and fun and he recommended it to anyone as it got him out of his comfort zone. He had a quick meeting with Paul Totah in preparation for our next item.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he did do a couple of things. He went to the Pacifica Democrats meeting and the Pacifica Conservatives meeting and also went to the Ohlone lunch.
He hopes to make it on upcoming Saturday, as the San Mateo Historical Society is having a history walk at a very unknown state park on the peninsula, Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park on Higgins Canyon Road in Half Moon Bay and what is unusual about this is that it has a type of barn which is rare in California that is dug into the side of the hill so the cows can walk to the second story up the hill and the others can walk in the first story. He stated it is a 2-mile hiking trail to get to the barn and they will talk about the inhabitants. He stated that, on Saturday, there is going to be a presentation on the history of Pescadero and apparently they have a website where you can go and view some of the buildings that are torn down but are talking about that on 80 Stage Road, Pescadero, and you are supposed to rsvp ahead of time for them. He stated that he is on LAFCO and one of the presentations coming up is the process the county is going to be using to update their RHNA numbers and what they’re going to be doing. He stated that, when he gets the link for that Zoom meeting, he will forward it to the City Manager to forward to everyone. He stated that a lot of the county’s housing is an incorporated area which is basically they have to drive through us to get to that area. He has gotten several emails and is aware the planes are flying however; he isn’t getting a lot of cooperation from people as to why and he will get back to those people who have written emails to him about the noise from the airport.
Mayor Bier stated she has been busy. She had a meeting with Seth Miller who is with our House City Peninsula division and been recruited to serve as the at large member of Cal Cities Peninsula Division Executive Committee, and the ballots went out to all the mayors this past week, and it will be announced in Long Beach at their conference. She stated that it was another exciting opportunity to serve. She attended the project review panel for One Bay Area Grants, and one of our Pacifica applications made the cut and was a really big deal because a lot of the other applications were BART and really big projects and she was happy to see that they made the cut for our panel and the next step is to be approved by MTC. She stated that it is good to be part of that and when we put ourselves out there and able to score applications and represent our city, things can happen and she was excited to do that. She went to the Save San Pedro Mountain event, and Ray Mueller has been spending a lot of time with Pacificans and he was there. He went to the Ohlone lunch, and she attended the Economic Development Committee special which was a very efficient one-hour meeting where they approved their budget and work plan. She stated that she wants to give Asst. City Manager Carter warm fuzzies for the good job for that. She attended the Open Space meeting which was interesting as they had a presentation by a member on 30-30 which was an executive order by President

Biden to conserve at least 30% of the US land fresh water and 30% of the US ocean areas by 2030 and there is going to be work done around the region in San Mateo County so it is exciting to have that information shared with us to see where it can take us. She attended the Pacifica School Volunteers meeting. She attended both the Democrats and Republicans meetings and she got to judge the buckets for Beach Coalition. They were big giant buckets painted for cigarette butts and the art work was amazing, so it was hard to judge and she was glad she wasn’t the only one. She met with someone from Tree City Pacifica.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she also met with Gail from Tree City Pacifica.
STAFF COMMUNICATIONS
City Manager Woodhouse has two announcements, one sad news and one good news. He acknowledged that last week the city lost one of our active current employees, Pius Garcia, who suddenly passed away the previous Thursday and the Mayor will be saying more at the end of the meeting and adjourning the meeting in his honor. He stated that he was with the city for 25 years, working in the facility maintenance division and is well known by all the city employees.
He stated that they are going to do more of a robust memory and acknowledgment of Pius Garcia’s services at the next City Council meeting and they are all saddened by that loss and their thoughts go out to his family. He stated that the good news is that many saw they had the official launch of our Shop Pacifica E-Gift Card program and there are great financial incentives for the community to participate at this point in time, and that information is widely available on the city’s website and they will continue to put it in the Connect with Pacifica newsletter. He stated that it was also featured last week on the news, KPIX, and that was an exciting minute about this program on the news, and it is exciting as it is focused on people taking action to support our local small business community that Pacifica thrives on.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
14. Public Hearing on Proposed Ordinances repealing and replacing Pacifica Municipal Code Chapter 12 - Tree Preservation and Chapter 14 - Maintenance and Preservation of City Trees
PROPOSED ACTION: Move to Waive the First Reading of and Introduce by Title an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Pacifica Repealing and Replacing Chapter 12 (Preservation of Heritage Trees) and Chapter 14 (Maintenance and Preservation of City Trees) within Title 4 of the Pacifica Municipal Code and finding the Ordinance exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
PW Director Petersen stated that they had consultants Allison Steere and Tina McKeand of Davey Resource Group available for input and then presented the staff report.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to Packet pages 427 and 450, and he didn’t know if anyone had the anomaly in their document but on his packet page 427, Section 2, Environmental Analysis, should be there, but it is kind of in the last paragraph of section 1 and he didn’t necessarily see anything listed under section 2 so he is asking if that is the same for everyone.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked him to confirm that it was packet page 427.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck responded affirmatively, adding that he is using a PDF reader on his pad so he didn’t know if it was his software, and the heading is over what he believes is the last

paragraph in Section 1 and he doesn’t see anything listed under the Section 2 heading.
Mayor Bier thought it was on a different page as that is not on her packet page 427. She asked what the heading is.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated it was the first page of attachment D, page 1, at the bottom of the page.
Councilmember Vaterlaus assumed it is the heading for the paragraph it is on top of as she sees it exactly like he does.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that it is Environmental Analysis so it makes sense but he read it in sequence and it didn’t occur to him to look at it that way. He asked if she had a similar thing on Packet page 450, page 24 of attachment D.
PW Dep. Director Bautista stated that on Packet page 424 , it looks like the page is out of format but it does have the environmental analysis on that.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he had a similar overlap phenomena occur on Page 24 of attachment D.
Councilmember Beckmeyer saw it at the very bottom.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck didn’t know if it meant anything as he couldn’t read that paragraph and it didn’t bother him too much, but he wanted to follow up.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano pointed out that the Environmental Review Analysis is also contained in the staff report, so the staff report is the applicable environmental review.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she has questions but would prefer to hear public comments first.
Mayor Bier opened the public hearing.
Mgmt. Analyst Barranti introduced the speakers.
Irene, Pacifica, stated she wanted to know if invasive eucalyptus are being protected, and shared her thoughts and alternative suggestions because of that not being a good idea.
Gail Benton Shoemaker, Pacifica, stated that she is speaking as a member of Tree City Pacifica, and was impressed with this version of the tree ordinance but shared her thoughts and detailed requests on changes to the ordinance.
Paul Totah, Pacifica, stated he is also a member of Tree City Pacifica, and he praised them, mentioning specifics and also shared a request for a change to the ordinance.
Kai Martin, Pacifica, stated he is also a member of Tree City Pacifica and happy about the work Council and staff have done, and shared his thoughts and request on helping care for trees.

Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked staff if they received the email that Tree City sent in, and he saw Director Petersen’s and Dep. Director Bautista’s names on the email but he didn’t think the City Manager’s name was on it, and if he saw it, he asked that he let them know as well as his response to it.
PW Director Petersen stated that they saw it and had good comments. She went through and outlined where they were covered in the ordinance already. She referred to the comment regarding the grove of trees, and the grove is defined as any species, which includes invasive species as well. She stated that they talked about this the last time they went through the ordinance, and there were some areas where they were comfortable with things being repeated, and that is fine. She stated that there were a couple of areas, such as section 4-14.03 where there was a typo and it does need to be changed to say “4-14.06" as mentioned by Tree City Pacifica but it doesn’t need to say 4-14.07 and there was a section at the very end in violations that Tree City Pacifica had asked to be added, which said “measured with CalPERS and at least 15 gallon tree and she agreed that it was dropped and it should be added. She stated that the other elements are in the ordinance, but if Council is more comfortable with these things said again in certain areas to highlight it, they can do that.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked if there was anything they found objectionable that they shouldn’t do because if it all looks kosher, that might be the easy way from Council’s side.
PW Director Petersen stated that there was only one where she had a little concern, and she thought they may be able to cover it with a different type of verbiage, i.e., under 4-14-06, removal of trees, where they wanted to get rid of the word “undesirable” where it says, “The director may remove or cause the removal of any city trees or other plant materials planted in the plantable strip or planning easement. If such city trees or plant materials are deemed by the director to be unhealthy, hazardous, undesirable or causing excess damage to public improvements or city trees.” She stated that the only thing she was concerned about with this is that, typically, a hazardous tree is a tree that is going to fall or hit something and not necessarily the tree itself by its own identity would be considered hazardous. She stated that they have trees out there that drop balls on the street, people trip and twist their ankles, then recalled it was liquid amber. She stated that those type of trees tend to be undesirable and cities take them down all the time, as well as other things like that. She stated that they want to cover themselves from a pedestrian walking path standard where they won’t have a tree that is dropping something like the liquid ambers that cause people to fall and twist their ankles. She thought they can possibly come up with a different word.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked, if people are twisting their ankles, is that considered hazardous at that point or merely undesirable.
PW Director Petersen stated that is what she is worried about, as a tree itself is owned by those species and not considered hazardous but it becomes hazardous and she is afraid that, if they get into a semantics discussion related to it and the city had a liability issue, they may not be able to take something out. She stated that she could bring Ms. McKeand or Ms. Steere in and they may have an idea of how they can cover themselves under that.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that it is kind of the same vein, but he asked, what if the tree

roots are raising the sidewalk and it is a trip hazard.
PW Director Petersen agreed, adding that there is coverage in that which is damage to existing public infrastructure and they are covered on that, and if Council feels they are covered under the word hazardous, they can leave it. She was concerned because the tree by its own nature is not considered hazardous, but perhaps that is good enough.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agrees with her assessment and she thinks semantics and words matter and, as a non-arborist who will defer to their experts, from her read and experience in this endeavor, when she hears the word hazardous in relationship to a tree, it makes her think that it needs to meet certain ISA criteria to be deemed hazardous and maybe that’s not accurate, however, their goal is that it isn’t a good idea to wait 40 years but let this document last for a long time and be interpreted by future people who are not necessarily these councilmembers. She agrees with her interpretation that a tree of its own nature is not hazardous. She thought creating a hazardous condition or something to that effect that could elucidate what is meant by undesirable. She thinks Tree City Pacifica’s concern about “undesirable” is that it is a subjective term as any tree could be undesirable to some people and there is nothing to attach to that definition for the average reader. She asked the experts if they had a suggestion about how they address it.
PW Director Petersen stated that she can throw something out there, that is that they could just add something to the end of it that says “or causing excessive damage to existing public infrastructure or causes a safety concern to the pedestrian path of travel” which is what they are worried about, people walking, or they can say “causes a safety hazard to the pedestrian path of travel.” She asked the consultants if they have a thought.
Consultant McKeand stated that undesirable could mean a couple of things, such as an undesirable species of trees or it could mean a good tree species in an undesirable location, such as next to a stop sign. She thought that answers the question.
PW Director Petersen thought they have some verbiage that covers them for taking care of sight distance, covering signs, etc. and if they just want to add something to the effect of what she said. She asked Ms. Steere what she thought and does that work.
Consultant McKeand stated an additional definition to clarify what is meant there would help.
PW Director Petersen agreed that they could do that, add a definition for what is meant by undesirable.
Councilmember Beckmeyer assumed that definitions would go at the front of a section, and asked if each section had its own definition, referring to 4-12.02.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano responded affirmatively.
PW Director Petersen stated that there they could put undesirable tree and put a definition of what that is.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they don’t need to say tree, just define the term undesirable. She asked Ms. Steere if she could give them the definition she stated earlier again, i.e., it could be either by undesirable meaning a location that is not appropriate for the species of the tree or the species is undesirable for the location or something like that.

Consultant Steere stated that a tree could be undesirable because of the species of the tree and it could be undesirable because, while a good tree species, it is in an undesirable location.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that an alternative to that would be to use the defined term for undesirable, which means not wanted or not desired because it’s harmful, objectionable or unpleasant. She thought a general definition would give the director a little more discretion in determining whether a tree is or is not undesirable.
Mayor Bier thought that was the concern of Tree City Pacifica, that it would be more clear if there was a standard such as through the ISA form or just remove that word.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that defining the term gives it a little bit more of a narrow parameter.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought the definition she gave a minute ago includes unwanted and that is a subjective thing and the goal is to get away from subjective and try to have it be an objective reason, such as creating a trip hazard. She didn’t know how you compact that into one word in that paragraph, but maybe they can ask them to do that before they bring it back.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that, if that is the concern, maybe they strike that term and as Director Petersen suggested, just state what the concerns would be that would cause it to be undesirable, such as a trip hazard or the tree species is located in an area that is inappropriate for the tree species.
Mayor Bier thought that was good.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated she is seeing heads nodding.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it works for her.
Mayor Bier reiterated that it works for her.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought it sounded good.
Councilmember Beckmeyer referred to packet page 426, and she thought it might be attachment page 3, in item E, it says diameter or DBH and she asked if they could have a parenthetical phrase after DBH that says diameter at breast height that defines what DBH is.
She stated that they use that term a lot but she doesn’t know if it is defined somewhere else and, if it is, that’s fine, but she would prefer that it be clarified what that stands for. She then refers to I on that same page where it says “any species with a minimum diameter of six inches in diameter” and asked if they can strike the second in diameter.
PW Director Petersen responded affirmatively.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked, on No. 1, if they can add at DBH to the end of the sentence, “12 inches or greater at DBH”.
PW Director Petersen responded affirmatively.
Councilmember Beckmeyer wanted to talk about the issue on item 4, inserting language “groves of trees”, as Tree City Pacifica proposed inserting a phrase after the word except “groves of

trees as the director may deem otherwise”. She stated that the purpose of that has been stated well by Tree City people who commented, but she wanted to reiterate that the intent here is around not clearing an area just because they’re invasive species, but mostly from the point of view of runoff and top soil disappearing, etc., especially in the light of development. She stated her question is there an unintended consequence of putting that phrase into No. 4, that they can think of.
PW Director Petersen stated that grove of trees now is defined as any species, such as invasive species and when you say grove, it means it can be an invasive species. She stated that they can put it again at this location to make it clear.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought that was a good idea.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano asked her what section that was in.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it is on packet page 426, Item N, No. 4.
PW Director Petersen stated this was the email that she sent her that had the different recommended changes which is also in the email.
Mayor Bier stated they were going down the line. She thought there was some discussion about whether the city has to be at the same standard as a citizen when removing a tree and she knows they put a whole section under B.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it was two sentences.
Mayor Bier thought they should talk about that.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed and stated that she got from PW Director Petersen’s presentation that it is covered, but she thought it wasn’t clear enough or there is a sense that there is a double standard and she wants to figure out if it’s their double standard and if so, how do they correct that so it’s clear. She again asked what are the unintended consequences. She needs staff to help them see through that.
PW Director Petersen thought it was in there already and even in the sentence they provide, it says a qualified arborist’s report with reasons for removal in (f) and mitigation for tree removal including two to one replacements in (g). She stated that, if you look at section 4-4.06, sometimes it’s helpful to look at the redline version so they can see what they added. So, in packet page 420, you can see that there was something that was added related to this, item (c), which talks about the arborist report and into the IAS basic tree risk assessment. They also have (g) on the next packet page 421 which talks about planting a minimum of two replacement trees for an otherwise healthy tree and under (g), there is No. 2 which talks about replacment trees shall be a minimum of 1.5 inches measured with CalPERS at least a 15-gallon tree. She stated that, in saying that, she didn’t think there was any problem with adding this sentence into (b) if the Council wants, as all it’s doing is reiterating that these elements are in those sections further down.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought they should include it.
Mayor Bier agreed.

Councilmember Beckmeyer stated, in a similar vein, on 14-4.07, Item (a), she thinks it’s along the same line of the suggestion to remove the words “receipt of” and replace with “creating or receiving”, or language she would prefer to use. She stated that “upon receipt of” implies there is only one way that it happened which was from citizens to the city. She thought what they were trying to do in looking for the recommendation is broadening that language a little bit in some way so it would also pertain to city actions with city trees. She asked if that makes sense.
PW Director Petersen agreed and stated that they can put their language in there instead of saying receipt of, they can say “upon initiating or receiving”.
Councilmember Beckmeyer liked initiating better.
Mayor Bier thought it was a lovely suggestion from Kai Martin about the adopted tree program but she wasn’t sure where they can put that or talk about that.
Councilmember Vaterlaus thought the Beautification Committee could take something up like that.
Councilmember Beckmeyer liked that suggestion and it occurred to her that Council decides what committees and commissions do.
Mayor Bier added that they are going to be reviewing charters.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought that may be the perfect opportunity to add that in. She thought the City Manager might have something to say about that. She stated that Council needs to consider if that’s an appropriate thing to ask a committee to look at and that is where she was coming from.
City Manager Woodhouse added to what she was astutely observing which is the difference between a committee considering a new program versus writing it into an ordinance. He stated that any new program falls to city staff so even the efforts the BAC undertakes requires a significant amount of PW staff time to support and they don’t know what kind of staff resources would be involved in implementing and adopting a tree program. He thought it was a fabulous idea and they would love to do that and support it, but they don’t know what the resource demands of that would be.
Mayor Bier assumed that would be part of a study session.
City Manager Woodhouse agreed, i.e., a future budget decision, etc.
Councilmember Vaterlaus referred to the support of Arbor Day but didn’t know if support was the right word as support means paying for everything. She suggested they encourage the Arbor Day celebration or someone may come up with a better word that she just gave.
City Manager Woodhouse added that the Arbor Day celebration and effort is supported by the city, but it isn’t a city program. Tree City Pacifica runs that, and to write that into an ordinance or requirement is different. If that system were to change, it would fall on the city to do that and that has resource effects. He stated that they can continue to support that, but it’s not a city program that they run.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that they know it is one of the criteria for Pacifica being a

true Tree City. To have an Arbor Day, put a certain amount of money into trees every year or a resolution. She stated that they have done those things but each year they come back and reconfirm it and she feels that is how the certification process for Tree City USA and she asked what the City Manager would say they do to reflect that in city documents even though it’s not a city program.
City Manager Woodhouse didn’t think it needs to be in the ordinance but in a future year, if the Arbor Day celebration didn’t happen and they couldn’t get that designation for that year but it happens in the future, that is different than it being a requirement of the city to always hold that regardless of budget impacts, etc. He asked Director Petersen to give her thoughts on it, but policy-wise, it is a difference between mandating something in an ordinance versus the programs that we intend to do and carry out in collaboration with non-profits in the community.
Mayor Bier thought that is usually the point of a non-profit once it gets institutionalized.
PW Director Petersen stated that they have a great relationship with Tree City and there was a meeting today regarding Arbor Day and she thought it could be helpful for all of them to memorialize it in an informal policy so we are all on the same page. She stated that, as you have a new director or people come in, it can change, and if they can memorialize it in some informal policy about the support that the city provides, but she wasn’t sure about putting it in an ordinance as she has never seen that before.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that it is just a resolution that they intend to try to keep going forward with Arbor Day, if at all possible, instead of in the policy.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked Asst. City Attorney Bazzano if a resolution is something they pass repeatedly or is it a onetime deal.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they can pass a resolution and make amendments to the resolution, rescind the resolution, make new resolutions.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked if they have already done a resolution that memorializes Arbor Day.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated she did not know and would defer to City Clerk Coffey.
Councilmember Beckmeyer was just asking her off of her head but they can research.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano agreed they could research it, and she agreed with Director Petersen and City Manager Woodhouse that it is not something they would typically memorialize in an ordinance.
Consultant McKeand stated that it is often a proclamation that is done on an annual basis from the mayor.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought they have been doing that, and if Tree City brings that forward to them, she would want it more memorialized than that in case Tree City forgets. She is going back to the mayor’s point of it being institutionalized. She wondered what the happy medium is between not putting it in the ordinance and not having it be a proclamation that may or may not happen. She thought a resolution sounds good to her.

Mayor Bier asked if there was anything else they would like to suggest and how do they move forward.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she just wants to say thank you.
Mayor Bier stated that they need a motion.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he has some questions and comments on the actual ordinance, not the resolutions, etc. He stated that there is phrase that keeps coming up that says the applicant may be required to provide a plot plan or survey drawn to scale depicting the trees and any improvements on the property and/or arborist report. He asked, if they have a guy who wants to cut a tree down for whatever reason and has to have a plot plan and survey drawn to scale, if he might have to go to an architect or who do they go to get that taken care of.
PW Director Petersen stated that it is geared toward development and specifically for those who will be getting a tree protection plan in place or someone who might be taking down multiple trees but not someone taking down a single tree.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if she was talking about someone building a subdivision.
PW Director Petersen responded affirmatively, and added that, if someone is coming in with a building permit for a property they are trying to build or trying to take down multiple trees or need to protect multiple trees because of putting a building on that site, and this is to make sure they are looking at it globally and considering all the trees on the site, but not just a homeowner that wants to take out a tree in his yard but for bigger projects.
Councilmember O’Neill mentioned having someone wanting to use SB 9 or 10 and want to tear down a Linda Mar rancher and put up four units, and they may or may not be able to replace all the trees there, and, if it is a healthy tree, he assumed that they have to pay for the replacement of the tree, and asked if he is correct.
PW Director Petersen stated that the way it would work is that, if someone takes down a tree illegally, they would need to pay for the replacement value of the tree, and the way the ordinance reads for development, it provides the option for the city to ask for that, but it doesn’t require it. What the developer is being required to do is the 2-1 replacement ratio for those trees or required to pay in lieu fee if they couldn’t put all the trees on that property.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he is concerned because they have housing goals to reach and, if you get a tree cut down, it is roughly $2000 or $2500 and the permit is about $400-$500 and then they are talking about an arborist report and they were told it was around $500.
PW Director Petersen stated that it was $400-$600 and then they would probably have another $200 for the ISA risk assessment form.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that, if you have someone who wants to put an ADU legally in their backyard and they have to cut down a tree, they are adding to the cost of that ADU.
PW Director Petersen stated he was correct, and if someone wants to take down a tree because of putting in an ADU, they would have to pay for the permit, have an arborist report, the ISA tree risk assessment form and, if it wasn’t appealed, they would need to take down the tree which would cost them some money.

Mayor Bier thought they were talking about heritage trees.
PW Director Petersen stated just protected trees. She is talking specifically about protected trees, anything that is 12 inches in diameter or greater that is non-invasive.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that heritage trees are about the size of the general plate, 12 inches, and he stated that they are adding to the cost of an ADU and he asked if there were some restrictions in terms of someone adding an ADU of what fees they could charge.
PW Director Petersen thought some of that was going to be discussed during the housing element.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if the tree ordinance is going to be discussed as part of the housing element.
PW Director Petersen didn’t think necessarily the tree ordinance, but that fees related to low income housing ADUs were supposed to be discussed and, if it is something that would be appropriate to discuss at that time, she thought Acting Planning Director Murdock might be able to help her.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that, if they pass it at this meeting, they might be revising it because of the fees associated with it, asking specifically if it is the fees they charge or fees because they dictate an arborist report, etc. He then stated that replacement trees shall be the same species and he asked if they really want to replace Monterey pine with Monterey pine. He stated that, in driving around Pacifica, you can see a lot of the Monterey pines are dead and he asked if we want to remove one and then plant two more that, in ten years, they will be dealing with the Monterey pine cancer again.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked where is he reading that it is the same.
Councilmember O’Neill stated, on page 6 of the ordinance, it says “replacement tree shall be the same species as the tree removed or species of similar mature stature unless otherwise specified by the director”. He asked if they want to replace a tree that is very susceptible to disease with the same tree, adding that he didn’t know if they want to give the director guidance on that or not.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought another example is when the tree height gets problematic for our power lines, etc., and the city is going to link to permanent species that should be planted.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that was also on his list, such as what if a neighbor’s tree covers up their solar panels and one neighbor wants to cut the tree down or major pruning but the arborist will say it is a health tree and they can’t do it. He stated that they are then saying the other person can’t use solar panels that are supposed to limit greenhouse gases. He asked if that can be addressed in some way. He stated that he had another question, probably for Planning, regarding that all decisions and deadlines regarding the building permit will be suspended until the final decision regarding the tree permit has been made, and he asked why things have to run consecutively and not concurrently. He asked Director Petersen if she was saying the building permit issuance but they will still do plan check, architectural drawing, etc., and she is talking about the actual building permit.

PW Director Petersen thought the intent of the provision is that there was concern from the community and at the study session on the 27th there was a lot of robust discussion related to how they address the issue of people who come in, apply for a building permit then get a grading permit, impact trees or cut down trees, get their building permit and then never do the building. She thought there was a question on how we protect trees and not have someone come in, cut them down from the property and they walk away from the project without getting their building permit.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he supports that, and he hates all the half-built projects, such as on Fassler. He just wanted to be sure that, if someone applies for a building permit, they can also apply for the tree permit, go to Planning and submit an application to start the planning process and review the application at the same time so it is not consecutive but concurrent.
PW Director Petersen agreed.
Councilmember O’Neill stated another thing to look at is whether the requested action is necessary for the economically viable use of the property and he asked if they should put something on there according to the zoning of the property, as there are cases in town where people want places vacant because they can have a Christmas tree lot there and it’s economically viable. He stated that he didn’t see it in the ordinance, but he wanted to clarify that, in her slide show, she stated staff will be coming back with an ordinance for fire hazard zone, and he asked if they will be coming back with an ordinance for that.
PW Director Petersen stated that they talked about coming back with a tree permit exception based on fire risk and it is something they have seen in other cities, so they will be developing a tree permit exemption process based on fire risk.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that some of the trees are fire risks, and there could be a grove of eucalyptus that is a fire hazard that will need that exemption, and they would then be a protected tree. He asked if that will cover protected trees as well.
PW Director Petersen stated that, once they have a tree permit exemption, that tree is exempted from the permit, no matter what type of tree it is. She stated that they can ultimately develop the permit exemption based on what Council would like but, in looking at a couple of other cities, it seems like they are basically exempting any permit requirement for any type of tree within certain types of circumstances that are areas of very high fire risk. She stated that they would have to have that discussion moving forward and she believes there will be a lot of moving elements, i.e., what it looks like, and it is a general statement of what they will be trying to do, but no detail behind it yet.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he is concerned of the number of houses that probably will need some sort of break for trees to create the safe zone. He thought it needs to be an expedited process because, if they get a notice of their house insurance being cancelled, they might be able to mitigate if they were to cut a tree down. He referred to the Tree Fund, and asked how it will be handled, what will it be used for, or is that to be developed and come back to Council.
PW Director Petersen stated that it is specifically in the ordinance, and she thought Dep.
Director Bautista might be able to find the exact language in the ordinance or one of the consultants, but it was to the effect of use or increasing tree canopy, tree maintenance work.

Consultant McKeand quoted that it can be used for purchasing, planting and maintaining trees within the city, maintaining and preserving trees within the city to remain in naturalistic state in perpetuity, performing and maintaining a citywide tree inventory, educating residents and developers on the preservation, care, maintenance, benefits and values of trees within the City of Pacifica and supporting programs for the purpose of increasing the tree sanity within the City of Pacifica, as approved by Council.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if that includes staff costs, whether full or half time equivalent.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that was what she thinks the maintenance piece was about.
Councilmember O’Neill agreed, but thought it was a staff person to do that, and he asked if that person was coming from the General Fund or the Tree Fund.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought it could come from the Tree Fund. She asked Director Petersen if she was correct.
PW Director Petersen stated she would include the City Manager in this discussion but ongoing positions usually need to be taken care of with ongoing funds but could be used for consultant services, etc.
City Manager Woodhouse added that the Tree Fund is likely to have a small amount of money and year to year one time money and funding a permanent position from that would probably not be feasible, but as the ordinance is written, those funds could be used to augment and use hourly staff in the maintenance activities. Thus, he thought it could be used for personnel but not on an ongoing permanent basis.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he would like to see them address solar panels as people get more solar panels with some guidance on trees that get so tall they block solar panels. He stated that, on a one-story Linda Mar rancher, there are many trees on Linda Mar that block the sun for the neighbors and he asked how they deal with that. He suggested a list or guidance from the city of trees that don’t reach more than 20 or 25 feet tall, and he thought that would be something to give citizens.
Councilmember Beckmeyer referred to his earlier point about replacing with the same species and asked if that was what he was saying.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that on the city website, if a person is applying for a permit, we give them a paper copy of the recommended trees that might not be more than 20 or 25 feet tall, which he knows this was done several years ago for the micro-climates in Pacifica because the climate where he lives is different than the climate in Fairmont or Manor, so they are not blocking the neighbors solar panel, etc.
PW Director Petersen stated that they are going to be putting up a few things on the website, such as posting for significant pruning or tree removals, some recommendations on pruning as they discussed at the last meeting, and they can also put recommendations for trees that only grow a certain height to help with covering solar panels at a future date.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that it will address general aesthetics. He sees in his neighborhood trees that are 90-95 feet tall and that is potentially storm damage down the road.
He is concerned about the city removing trees and having the same standards that a private

person would have because the government is passing out grants to cut down eucalyptus, such as that type of grant in El Granada, and he thought Pacifica got that grant last year. He asked if we want the money used to cut down fire hazards or go for arborist reports, etc. He asked, if we have a grove of eucalyptus and get a grant that we can cut it, how much of the grant is going to be spent getting arborist reports.
City Manager Woodhouse thinks he identifies a very astute policy issue, i.e., the tradeoff of public resources compared to private resources and how they’re utilized for public benefit such as this case of fire safety. He thought, when they are considering the conditions under which the same requirements are applied to private tree removal applications, such as an individual wanting to develop their property with financial gain, there are certain conditions that apply compared to public benefit applications where trees are removed for fire safety and there are ten trees that you can’t remove as they have to go to the other arborist report or conditions, and the policy observation is very appropriate.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought the public benefit argument goes both ways and, on behalf of many in the community they hear from, they would say the public benefit is enhanced by keeping the trees, and she thinks what Councilmember O’Neill brought forward that they need to wrestle with is, when they are talking about hazardous or potentially hazardous trees or trees in a high fire zone, they don’t want to walk away from a grant or be compelled to give it back because we couldn’t get an arborist report to determine of that grove should be cut or not. She stated that is what she meant when she referred to untended consequences when you carry things out to their logical extreme, and they have heard from many citizens about concerns about eucalyptus and there are grant funds around to remove them. She asked what the implications are of the policy conversations they are having around groves of trees if the grove of trees is eucalyptus and they want to cut them down in a safe and responsible way so they don’t have erosion. She then said she will pass off to other member’s comments.
Mayor Bier stated that Director Petersen has something to say and then Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck can speak.
PW Director Petersen stated that this is definitely something that was going to be considered with this Phase 2 related to the tree permit exemptions. She stated that once there is a tree permit exemption, it would not require an arborist report, the ISA risk assessment and that is something they can come back with in the next phase and provide a recommendation on how to manage that issue.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he didn’t know what the estimated date of when they come back with chapter 2, but in the interim, this is the ordinance that would stand if there was a grant that came up in the state budget and filtered down through the county. He asked if this was an obstacle for them to get a grant like that.
PW Director Petersen stated that, when they did get the grant through the county for Cattle Hill, that was a big area with a lot of trees and there was an environmental review that was required as part of that grant for that many trees. She stated that, if it is a large grant to take down a lot of trees, they are probably going to be required to do some sort of environmental assessment on all of the trees before they can take them down. She asked Ms. McKeand if she had anything to add in regarding taking down a large amount of trees and would that require and environmental impact assessment.
Consultant McKeand stated that it could if it was a large project, as it would be something they

Attachment: Attachment A: Minutes of August 22, 2022 City Council Special and Regular Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Regular Meeting 24 August 22, 2022
would have to analyze.
City Manager Woodhouse stated he would ask, for example, on the Cattle Hill project, even though it underwent CEQA review for that project. He stated that doesn’t make the determination about what permits or arborist review are required if our ordinance says that. He thinks the question being considered is if it is going to take 1 1/2 to 2 years to develop the next phase of the ordinance. They don’t know the timeline yet, but in the meantime, they are eligible to get grants for eucalyptus tree removal, he asked what is the exemption or exception that can apply so that they don’t have to undergo additional undue costs to implement that program.
Councilmember Vaterlaus mentioned hazardous.
Mayor Bier asked her to repeat her response.
Councilmember Vaterlaus mentioned hazardous conditions such as fire hazard conditions to get those grants for tree removal.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if fire was one of the criteria on that ISN report or INS report she mentioned.
PW Director Petersen stated it was not.
Consultant McKeand stated that it wasn’t typically, but you could file an emergency exemption to allow for those type of removals under those conditions.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that there were other examples that were brought forward from back of the valley during public comment, such as the pinched time anchor where they have trees losing their limbs. She thought they recalled that comment.
Councilmember O’Neill stated it was behind Park Pacifica round Yosemite and Big Bend.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought that one goes under the hazardous element that Director Petersen was talking about, and dead trees and hazardous trees don’t have the same constraints, but not specifically for fire.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if an arborist report looks at a grove and says the majority of the trees are dead or do they do an analysis on each tree. If someone has 2-3 trees, can they just give them a narrative about all the trees or each individual tree.
PW Director Petersen stated that she will pass that over to Ms. McKeand to respond.
Consultant McKeand stated that an arborist report could include a grove of trees and consider it as a grove of trees but it would still describe the overall condition of that grove or describe and apply to individual trees, so the answer is all of the above based on the situation.
Councilmember O’Neill concluded that, if they have a healthy grove of eucalyptus, under the present ordinance, they could not cut them down.
Consultant McKeand agreed unless one of the exceptions applies.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that, most of what he was going to say was already addressed,
2.a
Packet Pg. 46
Attachment: Attachment A: Minutes of August 22, 2022 City Council Special and Regular Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Regular Meeting 25 August 22, 2022
but what is sticking to him is, under circumstances in which these groves of eucalyptus aren’t protected the way they apparently are in this ordinance, what steps are normally taken to ensure that erosion doesn’t occur if they were to chop down a large number of them. He referred to driving through the Tom Lantos Tunnel and seeing all the eucalyptus on the hillside, and stated the point is well taken, because as he envisions all of those trees cut down, he asks what happens to the hillside. He asked, this ordinance notwithstanding, if they were to clear cut for the sake of eliminating the fire danger which he always thinks about driving through the tunnel, what would happen to the hillside in such a circumstance or, without the ordinance, would they need to replace trees with other trees in order to stabilize the hillside, and how would it work.
City Manager Woodhouse stated, with the significant sized project he is referring to for fire safety, like it was done on Cattle Hill, you would have an environmental review and it isn’t a decision about not cutting down all the trees because erosion will occur. They would refer to the project and suggest how to safely do the project, and there is where the mitigation measures are related to the project so erosions and landslides don’t occur in cutting down the trees. He stated that there is a difference between saying categorically that they can’t do that versus the need to undergo project and environmental reviews with appropriate project implementation so it is safe to do.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano wanted to clarify that it is important to note what they are talking about and she thought Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck’s question went to was just the exemptions that Director Petersen had previously addressed that will be coming later, and she wanted to be sure they responded to the questions that she thought he asked.
Acting Planning Director Murdock stated that, in the various criteria provided in this ordinance as drafted for considering removal, is topography of the land and effect of requested action on it, and he felt he had a lot of meaning to Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck’s point, steep site with significant tree removal proposed requires a permit from the city under the ordinance as drafted before another exemption might be crafted, and that was a criteria to be considered. In the event an analysis and consideration of that criteria concludes that there may be a potential slope stability impact, even though the project was intended for fire hazard reduction, that is a criteria and the ordinance would also provide the director where the opportunity for adverse consequences might stem from the removal to impose mitigation measures including replanting. He thought the ordinance already addresses those considerations with its own provisions as drafted and everything the City Manager said about some companion CEQA process that may or may not be required for a particular project holds true as well, but the ordinance as drafted already, with its own provisions internally provides those criteria to be considered and the safeguards and authority to impose steps to protect against those unintended consequences.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought the original question was that, if they are given a grant to eliminate some of the fire hazards that eucalyptus presents, with everything they discussed, is there something in the ordinance that gets in that way and, if so, where should they specifically be looking at this point to tweak that so, if a grant arises, they are able to take advantage of that.
He thought a lot could happen over two years and he thought his point was well taken that Phase 2 is essentially to answer the question before them but he thought it would be nice to have a stop gap as appropriate so they can get to Phase 2 without having to worry about a grant for wildfire mitigation and have their one and two at the end of the day.
PW Director Petersen thought, through their Asst. City Attorney having worked on the ordinance, she would ask if there is an appropriate location in there where they could put some
2.a
Packet Pg. 47
Attachment: Attachment A: Minutes of August 22, 2022 City Council Special and Regular Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Regular Meeting 26 August 22, 2022
language in that could help or she could also throw this to Ms. McKeand of Davey Resource Group.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano thought Acting Planning Director Murdock cited some very good areas where there are some language already existing about erosion control.
Councilmember O’Neill didn’t think erosion control was the question. He stated that, under this present ordinance, a heritage tree has to get an arborist report and hazard report, and consultant McKeand stated fire is not one of the considerations in that INS report. He stated that last year several million dollars were passed out and Pacifica was able to get some of the money and they were able to cut down hazardous trees. He reiterated that it wasn’t so much the erosion report which will be covered by the environmental review that the city manager mentioned, but he asked if there was something in the ordinance that prevents them for applying for a grant so they can mitigate or cut down trees that may be hazardous, whether or not they are a protected tree. He asked if they have to go through an arborist report for the entire grove, the individual trees, etc.
Mayor Bier thought it might be good for them to direct staff to come back with information about that with the changes they are already requesting as they may not have an answer for that now.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that this is the ordinance hearing.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if they can have a statement in there that simply says at a 4/5 vote of Council this provision can be waived for fire mitigation funding opportunities.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that was the direction he was going, i.e., to include wherever it be, a temporary exception that relates to projects focused on fire safety removal and the temporary nature of it is, until the permanent future exemptions are identified so, in the intervening years, they don’t lose the opportunity to get some significant grants for eucalyptus removal and have a focused exception someplace and that would be the concept. He thought they could come up with that language now that would be acceptable to Council. He asked Asst. City Attorney Bazzano if the next phase of the project is going to make additional amendments to the ordinance. He stated that Director Petersen will need to make additional ordinance amendments.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano asked if he was talking about the tree permit exemption process that Director Petersen was talking about.
City Manager Woodhouse responded affirmatively and added that he thought the concern of Council was that they don’t want to lose the opportunity for significant project funding and grants that can help with fire protection in our community and they want to maximize the money that they could get for project implementation rather than arborist costs or not being able to do the project. He asked her how they include a focused temporary exception so they don’t run into that problem.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano is not sure what he means by temporary. She thought they could include an exemption that specifies language that says city fire mitigation projects shall be exempt from the requirement of whatever specifications of the process they want to exempt city fire mitigation projects from. She didn’t know how they are proposing to add a temporary provision.

Packet Pg. 48
Attachment: Attachment A: Minutes of August 22, 2022 City Council Special and Regular Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Regular Meeting 27 August 22, 2022
City Manager Woodhouse stated that what he meant by temporary is that this is placeholder language until we finish the next phase of the project which develops and defines what the exemptions are in the future related to fire safety.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they would have the exemption but at a future date they would amend that exemption.
City Manager Woodhouse responded affirmatively.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano understood that.
Consultant McKeand stated that she wasn’t sure if this addresses everything, but it says that tree removal permit shall be granted based on public nuisance or risk, under which she would think fire might be covered, deferring to the City Attorney on that decision. She added that it doesn’t address whether an arborist permit or report would be needed in those instances which she may need to clarify.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano thought it depends on whether Council wants a blanket exemption for those projects or just exempt the arborist report or some other aspect of the process. She would prefer a more specific exemption for fire mitigation programs; however they want to word it.
Mayor Bier likes those fire mitigations.
Councilmember Beckmeyer referred to section 4-12.09, “Emergency Tree Removals,” and stated potentially we could add another paragraph in there or retitle it emergency tree removals/fire mitigations or fire risk exception. She thought that was what they were ultimately talking about. She agreed with the City Attorney that they want to make it specific because the whole point of having groves of trees was to put limitations around specifically in the instance of development. She stated that what they are talking about here is a different issue, it is fire hazard reduction, fuel load reduction, etc., and she thought Councilmember O’Neill was right that the money is there and we don’t want our policy to be in the way of being able to meet that important goal.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he also had a question that, if they apply for one of those grants and we have an amendment in the ordinance that leaves discretion to the Council, will that provide a road block or does it need that it is an exemption and Council can’t change it. He asked if he was clearly understood.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano thought he was, stating that she thought he was suggesting putting language in that says something like it would be decided on a case by case basis at the discretion of the Council.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he wasn’t, but rather if they do it case by case discretion, is that an impediment or do they need to say that Council has, as a matter of policy for fire mitigation that this is exempt.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that, if it is the will of Council to include an exemption, they include the exemption specifically. She stated that future Councils can always amend that section of the ordinance, repeal it, make changes, etc. as they are not bound by the ordinance just because they adopted the ordinance.

Councilmember O’Neill understood and concluded that a grant funder would look at it and say that they are okay and it isn’t an impediment.
Mayor Bier stated that there was a lot of discussion and she wanted to be sure it was very clear moving forward so, when they have a motion everything is clear.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if it was a motion to continue this.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano understood that they had coalesced around an exemption, and if they can find the location where they would like to place that exemption and agree to the language in the exemption, she thinks they can move forward as Director Petersen is keeping a list of changes and they would just add this to the list of changes and, if Council is inclined, they can make that motion to introduce the ordinance with the changes that have been discussed at this meeting.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he was going to make a suggestion that they go to the next item, let them work on it and then come back to it at this meeting. He asked if that makes sense.
Mayor Bier didn’t think it is necessary.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he was ready to make a motion, and before making the motion, he wanted to say that it has been a good collaborative process with the community that has brought them here and it has been a heavy topic to get through but he feels like they got through it collaboratively and worked well together which is very uplifting to him after the last fiscal year we have had, and he was hoping this begins a new fiscal year of getting back on track of working with our partners in the community. He thanked them for all the work they have been doing.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck moved to waive the first reading of and introduce by Title an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Pacifica Repealing and Replacing Chapter 12 (Preservation of Heritage Trees) and Chapter 14 (Maintenance and Preservation of City Trees) within Title 4 of the Pacifica Municipal Code and finding the Ordinance exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) with amendments as discussed; seconded by Councilmember Vaterlaus.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano acknowledged that they have a motion and a second and she would propose to add a totally new section, somewhere after 4-12.09, maybe 4-12.10 and all the other subsections following that would be renumbered, that excludes fire mitigation programs conducted or undertaken by the city that would be exempt from the requirements of the chapter.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck so moved.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated, for all the other changes that have been listed at this meeting, maybe they can get Director Petersen to read that list.
PW Director Petersen stated that, on section 4-12.02 “Definitions,” after 1 at the end, they would be adding at DBH; in that same section 4, they would be adding “groves of trees” and, right before, “as the director may deem otherwise”; for section 4-14.03(c), this should read, “The director shall have the authority to remove a city tree pursuant to 4-14.06.” She stated that
2.a
Packet Pg. 50
Attachment: Attachment A: Minutes of August 22, 2022 City Council Special and Regular Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Regular Meeting 29 August 22, 2022
under section 4-14.06(b), they are going to add at the end of the section a sentence that says “in order to remove a tree, the city will meet all requirements.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that she didn’t think that was what they talked about. The talked about striking the term “undesirable” and talked about adding language saying, “The director has discretion to remove or cause removal of any city tree that causes a trip hazard or is a species in a location that creates a hazard.”
PW Director Petersen thought they had come up with a definition for undesirable.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that they decided to strike that.
PW Director Petersen stated that, in that case, she thought the Asst. City Attorney had come up with what they were going to add.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that she just read that into the record.
PW Director Petersen stated that they were also adding at the end the other sentence, “in order to remove the tree, the city will meet all the requirements of the permit listed below, including the criteria listed in (e) (a qualified arborist report with reasons for removal in (f) and mitigation for tree removal including 2-1 tree replacement in (g). The next section, 4-14.07(a), they are going to be removing the word “receipt of” and instead adding “initiating or receiving”. In section 4-14.08, Violation Penalties, in (2), after replacement tree shall be a minimum of 1.5 inches, they are going to be adding “measured with calipers and at least a 15-gallon tree otherwise approved by the director”. She stated that was the last one.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano asked her if she included the addition to the ordinance of Section 8 in her list.
PW Director Petersen stated she did not include that. Also, they need to add a section, Section 8, is to be added to the ordinance that is stating “Ordinance Nos. 636 and 673 (logging ordinances) shall be repealed in their entirety)”. She thinks that is all she has.
Mayor Bier thanked Asst. City Attorney Bazzano for her guidance.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that is the motion.
City Clerk Coffey took a vote by verbal roll call.
Vote: 5 - 0 (Item #14 AS AMENDED)
Mayor Bier agreed that this was a nice way to collaborate with our community.

CONSIDERATION
15. Direction to Pacifica Voting Delegate Regarding Cal Cities 2022 Annual Conference Resolution - Proposed Bylaws Amendments
PROPOSED ACTION: Provide direction to Pacifica's voting delegate to support one resolution regarding proposed bylaws amendments to be considered by Cal Cities at the 2022 Cal Cities Annual Conference to be held in Long Beach, September 7 - 9, 2022.
City Manager Woodhouse presented the staff report.
There were no public comments.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that originally it almost occurred to him about critiquing one of these amendments and then thought better of it, so he didn’t have anything to add except that, commented on the CalCities conference, last year it was more interesting because there were a couple of lobbying topics being discussed and, in this case, it’s just amendments to bylaws. He thought it was amazing to be in a room where there are representatives from almost every city in California and there is someone orchestrating the meeting where everyone is voting on something as simple as these bylaws, they can see what they go through to take votes at any given moment with five and imagine what it’s like to take that vote with hundreds of people on something as simple as bylaws, it is a remarkable thing to behold. He didn’t think there was much discussion past that observation.
Councilmember O’Neill moved to direct the voting delegate to vote yes on all these items; seconded by Councilmember Vaterlaus.
Asst. City Attorney Bazzano stated that she wanted to make sure they took public comment.
Mayor Bier stated that they did.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Consideration of Adoption of the Sharp Park Specific Plan.
PROPOSED ACTION: Move to adopt the attached Resolution to:
A. Find approval of the Sharp Park Specific Plan to be substantially consistent with the plan evaluated in the General Plan Update and Sharp Park Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2012022046, certified by the City Council on July 11, 2022, for purposes of complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
B. Approve the Sharp Park Specific Plan as recommended by the Planning Commission; and
C. Incorporate all maps and testimony into the record by reference.
Planning Director Murdock stated he is joined by consultants, Alison Moore and Rajeev Bhatia of Dyett & Bhatia, and several staff members, and then began the staff report.
Consultant Alison Moore continued the staff report.
Planning Director Murdock completed the staff report.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked Planning Director Murdock if staff got his email listing some corrections he made in the document, and asked if they needed corrections or just minor typographical errors.
Planning Director Murdock stated that they did receive them and they are quality assurance checks that staff will do when they have time following acceptance of the document, and will correct those minor non-substantiative typographical errors in the final document.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he had some questions but didn’t know if this was the time to ask, and as the Mayor confirmed that they will go through it chapter by chapter, he will wait until after public comment.
Councilmember Vaterlaus sent some changes mentioned by the public regarding specifics of certain lots zoned on the map incorrectly and wanted to know if those changes were part of this also.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he did get them and staff reviewed them. He stated that the plan was consistent with the planning approach in Sharp Park Specific Plan, i.e., staff focused on Council’s directions to improve the vibrancy focused on north and south corridors but did not make changes to the east/west corridors. He stated that the land use designation in the Sharp Park Specific Plan, such as Salada Avenue cited in the comments, are reflected of the 1980 Local Coastal Land Use Plan and that staff did not look to make changes in the east/west corridors presently so nothing will change in the status quo of the current Coastal Land Use Plan based on those land use designations.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that the citizen was saying that one of the buildings was currently a six-unit building and is shown on the map as a single family.

Planning Director Murdock stated there could possibly be an error in the existing land use diagram which is not a policy component of the document, just an informational component, but they can revisit that and, if there is a technical error, they can correct it before they finalize the document. He thought, more importantly looking forward, if any of the land use policies would be contrary to future redevelopment of the site. He added that there is a policy in the Sharp Park Specific Plan now that allows sites that exceed the allowable density to redevelop at that existing density even if the policy calls for lower density, thus, the owner would be allowed to continue with the six-unit apartment complex.
Mayor Bier stated she have questions but they can wait for deliberation. With no other questions or comments, she opened up public comments.
Mgmt. Analyst Brooks introduced the speakers.
Christine Boles, Pacifica, appreciated the efforts by staff and the Planning Commission and she appreciated the addition of the preservation policies. She wanted this plan to be successful for all the community to increase the vibrancy of the neighborhood, and wanted to make a few comments and asked questions and shared her thoughts and concerns, such as on parking sites, commercial spaces, fire safety, etc.
Tom Thompson, Pacifica, stated that he had submitted some comments by email, but is sharing his thoughts and suggestions on some of his concerns regarding the Sharp Park Specific Plan, including specifically the importance of the sea wall to ensure all investments are safe.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he wanted to correct one comment by Ms. Boles who referred to 55 stories high for buildings, and he corrected it to be 55 feet.
Kimberly Williams, San Mateo County Surfrider Foundation, acknowledged that sea rise was an important issue. She thought there were many good things in the plan, but she shared her thoughts and concerns on many issues that are not included in the plan, such as the sea wall, etc., and Surf Rider encouraged Council to engage in long term planning for sea level rise.
Cindy Abbott, Pacifica, expressed her thoughts regarding the Sharp Park Specific Plan changing the land use area of Sharp Park, mentioning some of her specific concerns regarding that issue and expressed her suggested changes including working with the Coastal Commission to maintain the character of the area.
David Beaumont, Pacifica, stated that he sent email with his thoughts to the Commissioners and city staff, and confirmed staff received it. He stated he was representing six owners and then shared their specific concerns with suggested several changes he and his neighbors have for Council’s consideration regarding specific areas in Sharp Park.
Robine Runneals, Pacifica, thanked city staff for all their work, and she didn’t think they missed anything. She did agree with Mr. Thompson regarding his comments on the sea wall and with Ms. Abbott regarding height limits. She hoped they adopt the plan and take into consideration what the Planning Commission addressed and include the public’s comments and suggested changes for what is best for the neighborhood.
Robert Hutchinson, Pacifica, stated he was speaking at Ms. Runneals’ request, and he agreed with her regarding her defense of Sharp Park and support for the sea wall and he

thought the Council has done a good job on this plan.
Mayor Bier closed the public hearing and then reopened for another speaker.
Bob Haxo, Pacifica, expressed his specific concerns regarding the changes in the Plan regarding his neighborhood, such as sidewalks and bike safety.
Mayor Bier closed the public hearing.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck welcomed Ms. Brooks back. He then followed up on the community’s questions. He referred to the sea wall, asking why they aren’t putting in stronger nomenclature in the plan as to the city’s commitment to a sea wall.
Planning Director Murdock began by reminding Council and the public of the Local Coastal Land Use Plan Update process including the sea level rise adaptation planning process which was very challenging for the community. Council ended up with policies that most of the Council supported in the Local Land Use Plan that was sent to the Coastal Commission for certification. It was staff’s desire not to be redundant and not mire the Sharp Park Specific Plan by relitigating the complicated conversations that were already resolved by Council in the LCLUP update process, so their approach to coastal resiliency issues was to defer to the applicable policies of the LCLUP and remain in effect as they harmonize the Sharp Park Specific Plan with the LCLUP.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated he may have a question later related to amending the LCLUP once they have made changes to this document, but this may tie in to public comments, so he asked what it means if they amend the LCLUP later after they approve this document and if it ties into whether they emphasize that they support the Beach Boulevard Resiliency Infrastructure project.
Planning Director Murdock stated, for any of the land use regulations to apply within the coastal zone, the city needs to obtain Coastal Commission certification of those policies. The city currently has a 1980 Local Coastal Land Use Plan which was certified by the Coastal Commission and has had a number of amendments over the years since 1980 which still remains in effect and is the General Plan for the coastal zone which was consistent with the 1980 General Plan up to adoption of 2020 General Plan last month. The city approved the draft of the Local Coastal Land Use Plan and directed staff to send it to the Coastal Commission for certification. They are still working on that process, and this month the Coastal Commission accepted our application as filed and the statutory timeline for their review has begun with 90- day requirement to take to a public hearing unless the Coastal Commission grants themselves a 12-month timeline and they are working through the process. The question of certification of an amendment is a moving target, i.e., when they started the Sharp Park Specific Plan process by adopting the 2020 LCLUP update, they assumed they would be further along and had the documented certified by the present time with minor additional amendments to incorporate the specific policies of the Sharp Park Specific Plan. He thought it still makes sense to pursue certification of the 2020 LCLUP first, as it is a major change to the 1980 LCLUP and provides a lot of baseline policies, including the coastal resiliency policies they discussed but there is no mandatory order for that and given it’s a narrower scope, the Sharp Park Specific Plan could potentially proceed more quickly through the LCLUP certification process with the Coastal Commission. He thought, if Council approves this document, they could have two LCLUPs running concurrently He stated that they will have to do the comprehensive amendment to the 1980 LCLUP to incorporate the 2020 LCLUP or a more tailored LCLUP to incorporate the Sharp

Park Specific Plan. He stated that it is uncertain and out of the city’s control with respect to LCLUP amendment and certification.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought he was bringing some level of comprehensibility to a complex problem, and he will add his thoughts to understand it to the best of his ability. He asked, if they pass this, will they have to conform it to the 1980 LCLUP or the updated LCLUP.
Planning Director Murdock stated that in a simple sense, yes. He stated that they will either be amending the 1980 LCLUP to say they have newer and more specific policies in the Sharp Park Specific Plan, and it may be more challenging of the two because there is a disconnect between broader policies in the 1980 LCLUP and the more modern focused policies in the Sharp Park Specific Plan. He stated that the alternative is that they will achieve certification of the 2020 LCLUP and making relatively minor amendments to that to incorporate the Sharp Park Specific Plan. He pointed out the difference between the 2020 and the Sharp Park Specific Plan are much smaller than the difference between the 1980 LCLUP and the Sharp Park Specific Plan.
Councilmember O’Neill asked, if he is understanding him correctly, if they submitted the 1980 plan, got it certified and that’s the law, but now is the 2020 LCLUP considered an amendment to the 1980 or is the 1980 gone and 2020 is the new law.
Planning Director Murdock thought it was a bit of semantics, and he would use different terms.
They need Coastal Commission certification of our policies in order for them to take effect. He stated that people call them amendments when there are relatively small changes, such as changing one parcel’s land use designation. He didn’t know if amendment makes as much sense when they are talking about a comprehensive replacement, but in either case, it is a replacement and it needs certification from the Coastal Commission and that is the operative issue in order for it to take effect in the coastal zone.
Councilmember O’Neill assumed that they are just amending the 1980 plan with the 2020 plan and then submit this if Council approves.
Planning Director Murdock stated that they would be amending in its entirety the 1980 LCLUP as opposed to a narrower amendment that might implement a particular change in land use designation.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck returned to the question of putting more robust language about the sea wall in this document. He thought he heard him say that they were in the process of figuring out which document they are adapting this document to. He stated that they already have policies in the update that clearly and robustly state that this is the city’s direction and to incorporate such language in this document, being the STSD, might muddy the water when what they are trying to accomplish is very clearly state this is the approach we are taking to protect ourselves.
Planning Director Murdock thought he had that correctly.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated he had other comments to follow up on and confirmed that, if no one else wanted to speak now, he would continue.
Mayor Bier stated she was depending on him to look at the public comments and ask the questions.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to parking garages and asked if they made any effort to
2.b
Packet Pg. 58
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 6 August 31, 2022
identify a site where they might put a parking garage.
Planning Director Murdock didn’t think they had because staff’s intention is to try to seek joint use parking facilities, given the significant expense and scarce land area in Sharp Park, i.e., there has been consideration of opportunities to potentially have a joint use parking garage as part of the 2212 Beach Boulevard project or as part of the library redevelopment or both. He stated that there were other opportunities to seek other places to construct parking facilities, but those are the two most promising as they have project concepts, under the city’s control and make sense given their centralized location to provide common parking facilities and he thought that was likely where staff’s energy will be unless Council thinks a different direction makes more sense.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck commented that Planning Commission Vice Chair Hauser has joined them, and he encouraged her to share any comments that might be helpful as he asks questions.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he didn’t want to butt in but wanted to ask a question about parking in lieu.
Mayor Bier stated he can go ahead and ask his questions.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that they had talked about raising our in lieu parking fees, and he asked if they have raised them, and what is the amount. He asked if they need to do a separate parking in lieu fee just for this area as they did in Rockaway.
Planning Director Murdock stated that the Council has already adopted an in lieu parking fee for the Sharp Park Specific Plan area and it is in effect, and indexed to construction cost index and thus a mechanism to step it up which was missing from the original Rockaway Beach parking fee. He stated that he would have to pull up the resolution for the specific amount, but he thought it was around $40,000 per space. He stated that individual requests for payment of the fee in lieu of providing parking need to be approved by the city and Council can approve a lower amount and may want to for certain types of land uses as an incentive. They may want higher per space fees for other land uses as well. He stated that, while Council retains some discretion on the actual fee amount for a particular use as each reduction may run across purposes to accrue enough money to construct the improvements, which is a delicate balance for Council.
City Manager Woodhouse thought Sr. Civil Engineer Donguines might have the exact figure, but he thought the maximum amount in considering park in lieu fees was higher for Rockaway Beach and in Sharp Park, more in the $70,000 and Council did adopt more than average and in the $40,000 as mentioned by Planning Director Murdock. He stated that they can double check that.
Councilmember O’Neill wanted to be sure they don’t end up with the situation they had in Rockaway Beach and it was addressed for Council’s and the public’s knowledge. He asked confirmation that it is not spent on other issues.
City Manager Woodhouse agreed that it is intended for parking related improvements.
Planning Director Murdock stated that the adopted maximum per space fee at the time of adoption in 2020 was $40,260 per space. He didn’t have the figure available on what the maximum allowable justifiable fee would be, but the Council’s maximum adopted was that

amount.
Mayor pro Term Bigstyck referred to the parking in lieu fees, and he read that there was an opportunity to tweak how they use the parking in lieu fees to bolster infrastructure such as bike infrastructure, such as for bike racks, etc. He asked if this is the time to start contemplating making those changes or are they putting it down the road.
Planning Director Murdock stated that a fee, other than the fee adopted for in lieu parking, would require a separate fee study and separate adoption by Council and that is something Council would direct staff to undertake, probably as part of the annual goal setting process. He stated that they would want to be sure they have sufficient policies in the document to make it clear what the requirement is and the action from developers as part of the project and implement an appropriate fee for that purpose.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck liked the comment about the notion of being commercial spaces not on the ground floor, and he asked if he could address that briefly as something that could come.
Planning Director Murdock stated that there is, but there is nothing in the Sharp Park Specific Plan today to prevent commercial uses above the ground floor. He stated that they have sought to require them along Palmetto Avenue on the ground floor to make those active commercial uses and allow residential use above the ground floor, but commercial uses could comprise some or all of stories above the ground floor such as to achieve ocean views.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought they will spend some time talking about height and what it means for the area, but his next question was regarding serving fire needs up to 55 feet and he asked if they have checked in with the Fire Department and does Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh have any insights.
Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh stated regarding the aerial ladder they have for Pacifica housed in Station 95 in Daly City on Edgemont is 107-foot aerial platform they have that is used for the entire JPA for North County Fire for Brisbane and Pacifica. He stated, regarding height, depending on commercial or residential is anywhere from 10-12 feet, and there are a lot of factors in play when they are talking about an aerial platform. They have setbacks from the street to the structure compared to the angles of inclination for the areal itself, thus, multiple factors that can take place when they look at the position of areal ladders and how far a ladder can reach. He stated that there is a formula and it would be hard to explain it but, if they have a street to put the truck with an offset of 50 feet to reach the building, that is a right angle that you look at as you have the distance from where the vehicle is to the distance to the structure off the setback to how high the story is. From that, you have to remember that, even though they are 107-foot ladder or whatever it is, you have angles you have to deal with. He stated that, if they are setback, they can’t get 107 feet all the way. He stated that it depends on the type of building, placement, parking, height of the stories, etc., that they have to look at, but they have a truck that services Pacifica.
Planning Director Murdock asked him to discuss the relationship of modern building materials and construction, as well as the inclusion and mandatory requirement for fire sprinklers in these buildings and how it weighs into consideration of availability of a ladder apparatus.
Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh stated that is something they deal with constantly when it comes to construction. They talk about the new alternative methods of materials that are more fire resistant, fireproof and they also look at what type of sprinkler systems they may want to put in.
2.b
Packet Pg. 60
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 8 August 31, 2022
He stated that, at times, people will come and look at the alternative methods that they can get away with those type of materials instead of having something fully sprinklered. They are all factors taken in with new construction almost every day.
City Manager Woodhouse added further clarification as it is important regarding fire response.
He thought the intent of the question was simply do we have the equipment to respond to this kind of building at that height, and the answer is yes, as that equipment serves buildings that high in Daly City. He added a related point was the approach of their boundaryless approach to fire response in San Mateo County, and if any special equipment is busy at any given time, they have a system that brings it from other communities as well as rapidly as possible, thus the answer to that question is yes to that question.
Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh stated he was correct regarding the cooperative relationship they have in all the boundaries and responses they have throughout the entire county. If our ladder is busy on an incident and we have another need for one, they get from another department and vice versa, and that cooperative relationship is great in San Mateo County. He stated that they do have a ladder aerial platform available whenever it is needed in Pacifica.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck concluded that, on the one hand, anytime we build anything, especially something taller than is usual, they will make sure to clear it with the fire department to make sure we are in conformance.
Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh responded affirmatively.
Mayo pro Tem Bigstyck asked, based on this plan, if there was anything he is seeing that makes him think that it might cause a problem down the road and they shouldn’t do that out of a sense of safety.
Dep. Fire Chief Kavanaugh stated, for clarification, when you are talking heights on buildings, an aerial platform is only going to be good up to certain amount, and it doesn’t matter what city you are in, but they take into consideration some of the other means and ways to build to make sure the public in those buildings are safe including the fire responders.
Planning Director Murdock referred to Policy 6-I-4 which gets exactly to the heart of his question by ensuring that, before approval or construction of 4 or 5 story buildings, the city ensures the fire authority has the ability to properly service those buildings.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to the question of east/west changes, i.e., Santa Maria, and the question regard single family zoning and multi-family residence that is there. He thought Councilmember Vaterlaus was asking this question and it was answered earlier, but he wanted to circle back as it was asked again. He wanted to get as much clarity on the point as possible.
He stated that a commenter also referred to the seven properties on Salada and density and consistency. He asked Planning Director Murdock to help him navigate these.
Planning Director Murdock thought his understanding of the comments may reflect a misreading of the diagrams in the plan, as one diagram referenced is titled existing land use. He thought they may be interpreting that to mean existing land use designation when it is actually meant to describe the existing built condition of those properties shown in the diagram which is not necessarily the same thing as the existing 1980 LCLUP land use designation and he thought that was the source of one point of confusion. He stated it is possible that land use diagram contains an error, and staff will certainly review the properties mentioned to ensure that they
2.b
Packet Pg. 61
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 9 August 31, 2022
correct any factual errors, but he reiterated that it was a misinterpretation of the information being conveyed by the diagram. He mentioned earlier in the meeting that, when you compare the existing land use designation in the 1980 LCLUP, they have not undertaken any changes to those east/west residential streets from those land use designations that are in the 1980 LCLUP. If there may be dissatisfaction with what they are, they don’t reflect any change that is proposed in the Sharp Park Specific Plan and reflects the status quo that has been in place since 1980 and that is the best description and summation of the issue at hand and what might be able to be done about it.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to the 8-foot sidewalks on San Jose and stated that the commenter had questions about addressing people going down the street the wrong way and does this plan address that.
Planning Director Murdock recalled when he was a planning commissioner and expressed the same observations and concerns from his past experience in the Sharp Park neighborhood. He didn’t know what a plan can do to address people failing to observe traffic directional signs that indicate one-way streets. He thought there may be additional ways to visualize that, but it was in the purview of the city engineer in accordance with the manual for uniform traffic control design, and he suggested Sr. Civil Engineer Donguines can talk about what options there are to make a more prominent visualization of the one way, so he will let him think about it and circle back. He then asked him to repeat the first part of his question.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated he was asking about 8-foot sidewalks down San Jose.
Planning Director Murdock asked Ms. Moore if she could bring up a diagram that shows that section on San Jose. He stated that the diagram was trying to emphasize the importance of those east/west pedestrian and bicycle connections which were emphasized in a variety of community engagement settings and the Planning Commission’s extensive deliberation. He thought it reflects a possible misreading of the plan.
Consultant Moore apologized for interrupting but asked if staff could bring up her screen to share.
Planning Director Murdock stated that they needed to reflect on one thing the commenter said that was true, i.e., there are a variety of encroachments by property owners into the public rightof-way that they may perceive as their front yards but are a right-of-way owned by the city and it is a point they want to raise for Council to consider and weigh that policy consideration as to whether they want to drive towards these improvements to serve the greater good in terms of safe pedestrian and bicycle circulation or are they concerned about removing encroachments by property owners into the right-of-way. He asked Ms. Moore to walk them through that.
Consultant Moore stated that the diagram shows the width of existing segments, as well as proposed segments along San Jose Avenue and an extension of the sidewalk to eight feet is proposed on the northern side to provide the connection to the pedestrian bridge, but there is no change proposed to the width on the southern side of San Jose.
Planning Director Murdock thought it might be vice versa, but in either case, it is eight feet on one side and six feet on the other, reflecting the improvements in that sense.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if that would be taking out what someone perceives their front yard.
2.b
Packet Pg. 62
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 10 August 31, 2022
Planning Director Murdock responded affirmatively, explaining that the city right-of-way in many cases in Pacifica is wider than the built street and often wider than the improved sidewalk space. Over the years, owners may have unknowingly encroached into the public right-of-way with fences, walls, etc., and if these improvements were made, the city would need to remove those encroachments from the public right-of-way and go through a process with the property owners to do so.
Consultant Moore added that he was correct, and on the southern side that connects to the pedestrian overcrossing.
Mayor Bier asked if they know how many properties are affected which is a concern to her.
Planning Director Murdock didn’t think they had a specific number as they haven’t surveyed the area, and they made a preliminary assessment that multiple properties are likely to have encroachments and that would be part of a more refined engineering assessment if the city were to pursue a project like that in the future.
Mayor Bier asked if he could give her the Policy number in Chapter 4.
Planning Director Murdock asked Ms. Moore if she has the document up.
Consultant Moore stated that they specific east/west improvements are included in Table 4-3, packet page 71.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if there is a state regulation on how wide a street has to be in order to be passable by vehicles, parking and bicycle lane.
Planning Director Murdock asked Sr. Civil Engineer Donguines if he could speak to what those minimum engineering standards are as well as comment on the MUTCD considerations.
Sr. Civil Engineer Donguines referred to the one-way San Jose street, he knows that on some of the streets they have a do not enter sign along with a one-way sign. They will review the other streets that are one-way and add the one-way or do not enter signs to make sure that the public knows not to enter those streets the wrong way. He will get back to them regarding the minimum width for the travel lane. At this time, for passenger vehicles, it is between 10-12 feet for a regular one lane street.
Consultant Bhatia added that this issue was discussed extensively by the Planning Commission. When they went to the Planning Commission, they did not have the extra foot and a half on the southern side nor reclaiming the city right-of-way but they had narrower parking strips. He thought Planning Commission Vice Chair Hauser may be able to comment on that, i.e., they had 6-foot wide parking lanes which the Commissioners thought were not adequate and cars would be getting out into the right-of-way needed to safely travel on the street and that is when they ended up widening it a little bit which required on the southern side of the street to go into the places where the city right-of-way does exist. He stated that there are about ten properties, and he is not sure how many actually have any structures, like fences, etc., that will come up to the street.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that Mr. Bhatia is correct. When this came to the Planning Commission, the parking spaces were much narrower and they thought 8-foot wide parking
2.b
Packet Pg. 63
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 11 August 31, 2022
spaces were appropriate but working with Public Works and talking through this, 7.5 feet was what they thought would be the minimum that would be safe, effective and feel comfortable to provide the extra breadth that Mr. Bhatia mentioned.
Planning Director Murdock stated that they can consider language for policy specific to one-way streets and improving signage and other safety measures if desirable to Council and is a specific recommendation in Chapter 4.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck didn’t know if he heard that there is a particular mechanism for addressing the one-way streets within the context of the document. He thanked Sr. Civil Engineer Donguines for pointing out that they would look at extra signage. He thought the Local Roadway Safety Plan they are currently working on might also be a good opportunity to bring that to the safety plan underway. His last question regarding community feedback was the issue of 55-feet structures and when he was on the Planning Commission, north of San Jose was where it seemed more appropriate for 35 feet and no higher than 45. Now, it seems there are potentials along that strip for 55 feet. He watched all the Planning Commission meetings, and he has a rough sense of how they arrived at that and thought either Vice Chair Hauser or Planning Director Murdock could chime in, but it was a concern because going straight to 55 feet does strike him as out of character with the neighborhood. He wasn’t sure what it looks like when it is stepped back or what further study would make him feel more comfortable. He wanted to hear how they arrived at that potential as he didn’t think they were considering that in the last consideration.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that the Planning Commission discussed this a lot, and one of the things they talked about was, looking at the land use diagram, Figure 3-3, there are a lot of MUC along Palmetto, the MUC designation at Eureka Square and MUC designation on Francisco. She stated that, if you look at the policies, such as 3-I-39, northern Palmetto density and height.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked her to give them a page number.
Vice Chair Hauser stated it is 3-24 and she always does it in the document instead of the packet and that is the closest she can give him. She stated that it says that, on Palmetto, heights up to 45 feet and only when you do affordable housing do you go above 45 feet. For Eureka Square, it also starts at a lower height which she thinks is 45 feet and only by doing additional commercial space do you end up being able to develop into 55 feet. They looked at the two things the city wants, affordable housing to help with the housing crisis and RHNA numbers and they want high quality commercial because that is what Pacifica needs for economic development. By using the 55 feet as an incentive, it provides more flexibility. She thought the land uses on Francisco are the only place where the 55 feet was for MUC.
Planning Director Murdock added that Palmetto south of San Jose was up to 55 feet and he didn’t think it was further conditioned on incentives. He added that, along the lines of what Vice Chair Hauser mentioned, Council’s guidance with respect to heights north of San Jose was clearly understood and it also received a lot of public input about the need for affordable housing. In recognition of the fact that the city does not have a significant funding source to support the production of affordable housing, using the incentive of additional height in very narrow circumstances to achieve sorely needed affordable housing, he thought the Commission thought that was one reasonable exception to the other important policy consideration which is neighborhood scale effectuated through the 45-foot height limit. He thought Council would ultimately find out where to come down on that issue, but it was from an affordable housing
2.b
Packet Pg. 64
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 12 August 31, 2022
supportive standpoint that the Commission resulted in that recommendation which, for a project of seven units, which would not be subject to the city’s BMR ordinance, they got a 28% inclusionary housing requirement, nearly double the 15% they would get through the city’s otherwise applicable standards, thus, they might go from zero affordable units to two under this mechanism.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that there was one other thing she forgot to mention. In chapter 5, the plan requires setbacks as well as setbacks from single family residential zoning to create a buffer. It was not a zero lot line and all of a sudden it goes from a 15-foot height single family home to a 55-foot building. She stated that there are buffers and design controls that have been contemplated and put into this document.
Mayor Bier asked if they can see that. She stated that, when she watched the Planning Commission meeting, she thought there were some brought up on the screen and it would be helpful to see those again. She is very concerned about this as she thought their direction was clear. She would like to push back a little bit and see what it would look like in showing our cottages.
Planning Director Murdock stated that packet page 110 is one example of the visualization of the daylight plane and Ms. Moore can jump in if she can identify some others. He thought it reflects that the rear setback is showing a 55-foot mixed use center building near a 35-foot high building to the rear behind it. He thought it could be a single family residence in the configuration that Vice Chair Hauser mentioned. It is showing the requirements to step back with the daylight plane along the rear of that building to provide some separation and ensure reduced impacts to shadowing the daylight for the property to the rear as well as the minimizing of the imposing that might result in a box that went straight up to 55 feet along the whole facade and he pointed out more detailing in the diagram. He added that they may get to a different issue regarding the human scale or smaller scale desirable while trying to allow the achievement of density which is a critical element to the vibrancy they envision through the plan.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to state laws and exemptions that would allow the developer to build denser regardless of what they tell them they can do, and he doesn’t know how deeply that played into this conversation but he recalled it being there somewhere. He asked, if they allowed 55 feet if affordable housing, what it would look like if they did up to 35 and then allowed them up to 45 with affordable housing instead.
Planning Director Murdock thought he was referring to state density bonus law which has a variety of thresholds that a project needs to meet in terms of including affordable housing units.
He stated that, in some cases, it is as little as 10% affordable for certain types of projects, and applies to projects of 16 units or more, so very small projects are not subject to the state density bonus law. As mentioned in the policy that Planning Commission recommended, projects that invoke state density bonus law would not be able to avail themselves of those additional bonuses. He thought that, at the heart of local community fears about state density bonus law, on the one hand it is supportive of affordable housing development but on the other hand it eviscerates local land use control through the required incentives and concessions that the city has to grant in accordance with the state density bonus law which the legislature determined was necessary to allow additional housing density and monetary compensation in return for providing those affordable housing units. He stated that the Planning Commission took care, i.e., Eureka Square, to try to manage state density bonus law to try to fully achieve to the extent possible about commercial and residential site.
Mayor Bier stated she fully understands Eureka Square but she is having a hard time with this
2.b
Packet Pg. 65
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 13 August 31, 2022
section, and she hoped other councilmembers chime in.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that, when the Planning Commission reviewed this, one thing they really looked at were the density ranges established in the General Plan that were matched in this Specific Plan for consistency. She stated one thing they thought was appropriate was the densities that are being contemplated, i.e., MUC 30-50 dwelling units per acre, in order to achieve that and have homes that are appropriate for families and not just micro-studio apartments, they need to allow for that additional height potentiality.
Councilmember Vaterlaus was concerned about Eureka Square because that location’s height limit doesn’t affect anyone else and brings more people who would walk and use the square, but she understands that they are incentivizing them so they can go higher if they build affordable housing. She stated that all of that is supposing that someone is going to build any of this. She stated that they can try and change height limits but they don’t build and people will have to come in and build them. She knows construction is difficult on a neighborhood but it isn’t going to happen all at one time so it will take a long time for this process to go through.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated she was going to jump in response to the Mayor’s comment and her request for hearing from councilmembers. She shares the mayor’s concerns as she looks at the plan and thinks about the neighborhood we currently see and looks at some of the designs in the plan and she can’t help but think about places they all see when they travel over the hill. She mentioned this to Planning Director Murdock’s attention multiple times. She stated that in areas that have different zoning and are on a very busy transportation corridor such as El Camino they are seeing boxes that go from street level to the fifth floor with very little attention given to setbacks, changing the look in terms of little decks, etc. She is concerned that they are inadvertently creating a condition where that could happen in this neighborhood. She doesn’t want to disrespect the work that the city, Planning Commission and consultants have done in terms of delivering what they asked for and she is not saying that the plan is terrible. She is not saying that, and thinks it is very good, but she thinks they need to be a bit more refined in certain parts of the corridors. She thought they did a good job in multiple public meetings when they discussed 45 feet north of the street and 55 south. When she looks at some of the renderings, she realizes these are not plans that anyone has put forward, but it still gives her pause. She referred to packet page 102, architectural features, and when she looks at a potential building, she doesn’t think it looks like the picture on page 103 and doesn’t look like the design elements at 1914, 1922 and 1926 Palmetto. When she looks at the building on page 101, she has a similar response and maybe what she needs to get over is that you can’t have a tiny cottage and affordable housing. She is trying to navigate and be respectful to our community who gave Council their impassioned feedback multiple times over the months they have been working on this. She is looking for a way for Council, that is committed to creating more housing in our community and vibrancy in this neighborhood, to honor that and continue forward with that while at the same time defining a way that our design can look more like the historic cottage neighborhood that she is hearing about from many commenters and they see.
She wants to hear from staff and consultants on how they do that.
City Manager Woodhouse didn’t know if his question will help or not on this discussion on tension between neighborhood character and affordable housing. He thought it might be a question for Vice Chair Hauser as to whether the Commission talked about this in the context of our RHNA allocation and the difficult work they have to do with the housing element coming up, particularly the large number of affordable housing that is required. He stated that this important discussion weighs on the capacity for in-fill development for housing versus the tough issues that will arise for potential housing sites elsewhere in Pacifica. He stated that he wanted to
2.b
Packet Pg. 66
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 14 August 31, 2022
throw the RHNA and housing element variable into the conversation and apologized if that makes it more difficult.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that one thing that was added on 3-16, where it talks about Eureka Square redevelopment on a 5-acre parcel. It is MUC and allows for a lot of development, one of the biggest place available in Pacifica. She stated that it contemplated that a space that large gets 171 housing unit. She referred to the City Manager’s point that it will be very difficult to meet RHNA numbers close to 2,000 units when they don’t have a lot of spaces this large. The question the Commission looked at is how they do it and give a flexibility to the Planning Department to come up with a housing element draft that contemplates that. She stated that they took it into consideration and having that 171 units puts into perspective for them on what it takes to get to that large number.
Planning Director Murdock stated, in response to Councilmember Beckmeyer’s comments, he would go back to packet page 110 and explain that his opinion on the ground to sky 55-foot high boxes that she alluded to in other communities would not result from the Sharp Park Specific Plan, as staff and the Commission took great care to put objective design standards in place that would ensure building articulation and stepbacks along the front and rear of these buildings so they don’t get large, unwieldy boxes that are well out of character with the scale and design desired. He also referred to the Commission’s point of the character of the character of the buildings at Palmetto and San Jose, and they put in two specific policies that get to the heart of what’s desirable about those buildings, i.e., windows, sidings, detailing, to ensure that it is carried forward into the design of future buildings. He stated that none of the diagrams referenced are intended to be example buildings, but to depict different characteristics that would result in the policies but not to be a building design in and of themselves. He stated that, more to the point, those were created much earlier in the planning process and don’t reflect the refinements that they would get through the policies that were developed and the design guidelines and all comprehensive characteristics that come together in a particular building. He then pointed out that they are being asked to decide what the future character is of the neighborhood and there is a lot to like about what they have today but Council determined several years ago that they wanted something different, better, and what he said earlier in the process and will repeat, the 35 foot height limit intact for 40 plus years has not achieved what Council has said it wants through the Specific Plan. He stated that, as hard as it is to move beyond that, it may be a necessary element to achieve some of the other desired outcomes that Council has espoused and giving its guidance to staff. He then referred to the height issue, i.e. north of San Jose Avenue and Palmetto, and stated that is not a make or break component of this plan and wasn’t an earlier component of the plan. He thought the Planning Commission saw it as a unique opportunity to try, with the tools available to it, to provide for additional affordable housing. He didn’t think that was an essential element to the plan and didn’t think it was likely to get them along the way where they need to be in their RHNA in the housing element for affordable units, given the small size of the sites but it would be indicative of the city’s support in every instance for affordable housing because every unit counts for the families that live in those units. He concluded that was a policy issue that Council will have to weight and decide, but the plan can retain its integrity without that height of 45 feet north of San Jose, but just a rare opportunity to try to get additional affordable housing units without direct public financing.
Mayor Bier thanked him and appreciated what he said.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck appreciated his articulating it in such a way that he feels like there is a little bit more flexibility in his decision making within the context that he is feeling acutely every

unit of what it will take to come to that 1800 number, and he suspect other councilmembers might feel the same as well. He wanted to address their full menu of options is. Instead of having it written that it is a 45 to 55 with the bonus, what if they looked at something of 35 to 45 instead. He asked what that would look like if they adjusted it, such as would it be helpful if they did that.
Planning Director Murdock thought they would need more time to think critically through the different variations of that approach, and his initial reaction is not to tether an incentive to get from 35 to 45, and probably better to allow 45 which Council has already supported earlier and hope to get more units in each project, up to eight units or more and try to trigger the city’s BMR ordinance. He thought that was a more useful way to crack that nut with respect to incentivizing affordable housing development, rather than tethering it to 35 to 45 which he wasn’t sure was enough density for economic benefit to get there.
Consultant Bhatia added that, if there were to be a qualified affordable housing project, they would keep a concession and the city would be compelled to grant concession for projects that are larger than six units. He thought they were talking about small projects, and allowing those projects have the same benefit that a larger project might have. He stated that it comes down to a handful of sites. He referred to page 48 of the packet, they have a map of opportunity sites and they can see many of those sites are larger sites and would have more than six units on them and it comes down to maybe no more than three or four sites. This is what they are talking about, those smaller sites, that may get some additional floors as a result.
Planning Director Murdock wasn’t sure he could put a number on it, but he does raise another important point, i.e., for projects of six or more units, they are more readily able to trigger state density bonus law which really takes the lid off of city control. He stated that the backstop in this location is the coastal zone and the CDP requirement and LCP and Coastal Act compliance, and density bonus isn’t quite the unlimited release of local zoning as it might be outside of the coastal zone, like in the Eureka Square context that the Commission worked hard to address.
He stated that the presumption is that it would apply and the city would be on the defensive to argue why a particular incentive or concession would be inconsistent with the LCP and the Coastal Act. The Commission was trying to incentivize projects not to invoke state density bonus law to get these other benefits available to them in terms of extra height and density and that is an additional wrinkle to this consideration.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought, in theory, by keeping in place the 45 to 55, we might wind up with smaller projects than if they leave it to the developer invoking state density bonus law.
Planning Director Murdock thought that was one of the indirect incentives for this project.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that was the extent of the question he wrote down in terms of community feedback.
Mayor Bier stated that she would like to come back to it as she didn’t think it was fair to the community to not listen to the specifics, as this is one part and they are doing a lot of other changes in other areas, thus she would push to keep it at 45. She thought they should start going chapter to chapter and they can come back to that.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked why there is no table of contents in this document.
Planning Director Murdock stated that there isn’t a good reason, but they did include a hyperlink
2.b

table of contents in an earlier public review draft and they will add that into a future draft if Council directs that at a subsequent meeting or in a final approved version if that is where they get at this meeting.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated he would like to see a table of contents.
Mayor Bier called a 5-minute break before starting going chapter by chapter.
Mayor Bier reconvened the meeting and began with Chapter 1.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to Chapter 1-2 about natives using water for food, water and fuel and he asked what is meant by saying they use it for fuel.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he reads the sentence to mean that, from the creeks, they pull the three different resources of food, water and fuel in the form of wood, brush, etc.
Mayor Bier then stated everyone agreed to move on to Chapter 2.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought they have addressed the question of amending the LCP depending on how they fall on this document. He referred to a similar question about the bike and pedestrian master plan and he heard the robust discussion in the Planning Commission and he took that to mean that, if they pass this, it was a good idea to go back to the bike and ped master plan as they might need to tweak it based on the adjustments they made in this document.
Planning Director Murdock agreed with him, and he didn’t think there was anything inconsistent with the bike and ped master plan that was recommended by the Commission. There are additional improvements and he thought it would be good practice to retroactively amend the bike and ped master plan to be consistent with these additional improvements and recommendations.
Mayor Bier agreed, then no other comments so she moved on to Chapter 3. She then referred to packet page 52, 3-G-4, where it talks about the Pacifica Resource Center, and it says for any future mixed use development of the current Pacifica Resource Center, allow the non-profit to use of PRC to continue and she wondered if they could possibly strengthen that language.
Planning Director Murdock thought they could as allowing expansions is one component of that.
He stated that the mixed use and land use designations proposed along Palmetto do not directly allow non-profit office type uses on the ground floor and he thought the Planning Commission was sensitive to the importance of the PRC and its uniqueness and ensured that there was a policy to support its ongoing use. He thought it could be interpreted to allow it at its current scale and range of uses and he is hearing that they are trying to allow it in all of its potential future forms.
Mayor Bier agreed.
Councilmember O’Neill referred to page 40, 3-2, types of commercial uses in Sharp Park where it says visitor serving, and he asked if they could add recreation as there is quite a bit of recreation between the golf course, fish and pier, archery range and, if they put in bike and walking.

Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 17 August 31, 2022
Mayor Bier asked where he was.
Councilmember O’Neill referred to packet page 40, land use designations, table 3-2, stating it has community serving, neighborhood serving, visitor serving and he suggested they put something like visitor serving/recreational.
Planning Director Murdock stated that the visitor serving description currently includes commercial recreation and he asked if there was some other recreational component that he feels is not adequately addressed in that description.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that commercial sounds to him like a paid thing, such as money changing hands and a bowling alley and pee-wee golf, but there is a lot of free recreation there, such as the pier walking along Esplanade, the golf course which isn’t free but is a recreation, and he feels recreation is a component of Sharp Park.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed, adding that confusion or not, the constraints of changing it here is that the table title says types of commercial uses in Sharp Park. She asked if there was a place to put language that acknowledges the non-commercial recreational uses in the area or highlights that they exist and will continue to exist. She referred to the pier, which is free for fishing. She knows it is alluded to in the plan but what Councilmember O’Neill is getting to that we don’t want it to sound like we are going to commercialize all of the recreational opportunities in the area.
Councilmember O’Neill agreed, as he thought a major draw for out-of-town visitors is the pier, Esplanade and Mori Point. He didn’t know if any of those are really commercial, as commercial means to him that it is a private business, not a public recreational asset. He didn’t know if he had a different interpretation from everyone else.
Planning Director Murdock thought they may want to consider policies in Chapter 5 that talks about public gathering places and green space, and a variety of recreational uses mentioned and ways to support the physical development of spaces for recreation including public plazas and other public spaces. He stated that, when you think about land use that they are striving to and willing to focus on the north/south corridors, those are primarily recreation rather commercial oriented locations and that is why the policies they are reading are drafted as such.
He asked Ms. Moore if she wanted to add to that.
Consultant Moore added that, in chapter 7, packet page 140, there are more specific descriptions of what each of those unique coastal resources are.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if she stated 140.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she did.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that, if everyone is comfortable with the way it is, he was okay with it.
Planning Director Murdock stated that it is a technical response, but when you look at the planning area for the Sharp Park Specific Plan, it does not specifically include the pier, golf course or archery range in east Sharp Park and this plan would not directly any of the land use policies that protect those existing recreational uses and they would be thinking about other internal uses to existing subdivision throughout Sharp Park.

Councilmember O’Neill stated it was fine, adding that next time he will call it the Herschell Harkins Pier.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thanked him for mentioning that. She thought they should be referring to it by that name. In the very beginning of the document, it is just referred to as the Pacifica Pier. She thought it was a technicality.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that they do call it Rev. Herschell Harkins Pier in there.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she has to find it as she noted the reference when she was reading it.
Councilmember O’Neill suggested she open up a pdf and do a search.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed she could do that.
Mayor Bier stated she can let them know when she finds it. She then referred to packet page 56, affordable housing 3.6, and it says in the footnote that the recent comprehensive data is not available, and she asked staff to explain why it is not available and where do they get it.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he can speak to his personal experience and Ms. Moore may be able to speak about specific data gathering conducted to prepare the plan. He stated in his previous experience it is very difficult to find comprehensive systematically updated rental data, particularly for narrow geographies such as Sharp Park. He found in the past that it is citywide or region wide rental data that is a more reliable data source. He asked Ms. Moore if she had any familiarity with sources of more data that might support the mayor’s desire.
Consultant Moore suggested they look at Zillow or Redfin or other similar sites to get more of a sense on what rents are, but she didn’t know how that would be representative of the whole Bay Area but only available for units that are available for rent, not non-existing.
Consultant Bhatia stated that the census collects more comprehensive data and, at the time they did this, the census data had not been published. He stated that they could look at that and some other sources, but he was sure the Housing Element is getting into that. He stated that it is background facts, not policies and won’t change any policy, even if they had more up to date data.
Mayor Bier thanked him as there is a policy 3-I-36 displacement indicators and it talks about monitoring indicators such as changing share of low-income household, average rent, sales price, and she was curious about how they monitor that and if that type of detail belongs here or in another policy discussion they will have some time in the future as she knows there are rental registries that they can talk about, but she was curious about what they hear and how they monitor it.
Planning Director Murdock stated his assessment of the policy 3-I-36 on packet page 57 does reflect a best-case scenario of data you would have to support ongoing assessment of housing related impacts. He stated that the Sharp Park neighborhood is viewed historically as one of the more affordable neighborhoods and it has a lot of rental housing units, such as smaller or multi-family properties in many cases and he thinks there is a sense of wanting to protect those and existing occupants. He stated that, as an existing matter of law, displacement that might

occur as part of a redevelopment of the property has a number of legal protections in state law, including to the Mello Act which requires the city to determine whether low income persons occupy buildings that are affected by redevelopment and has certain provisions obligating the property owner to relocate those residents within three miles of the site in question or the coastal zone more generally. He stated that existing law already does contain a number of protections for displacement in the coastal zone.
Mayor Bier thought they could talk about that during the housing element. She then asked if anyone had something to say in Chapter 3, then moved on to Chapter 4. She stated that she didn’t see any discussion about micro-mobility and she didn’t see the term.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that on page 79, there is a reference on 4-I-15, shared bike, scooters, etc.,
Planning Director Murdock stated that the term was micro-transit, and the Planning Commission did spend some time talking about those kinds of issues and how to support a variety of mobility options, including electric scooters and bikes and types of regulations to balance the use of those implements with public safety and how to achieve that. He stated that Vice Chair Hauser might be able to share additional insights as they did discuss that.
Mayor Bier thought it would be great if Vice Chair Hauser would like to add comments.
Vice Chair Hauser thought Planning Director Murdock did a good job at answering that, and she wouldn’t add much. She stated that they spent a lot of time making sure that there were bike paths in appropriate places, how people get to the pedestrian bridge, adding the bike paths that gets them to the pedestrian bridge even though there is no direct site access. As they had that conversation, it came up that they needed to have a policy that provided for different types of mobility.
Planning Director Murdock added two more points that don’t immediately jump out from policy 4-I-15. One is that the Commission did explore whether it was appropriate to put policies that might regulate speed limits and other safety considerations and the consensus was that it was a question for Council on a citywide basis through a separate type of ordinance, if that was their desire to regulate safety of those types of transportation modes. In other policies related to the creation of public plazas, some of the required components of that to achieve some floor area ratio bonuses was the inclusion of electrical outlets and he thought that is supportive of those Escooters and E-bikes to allow people a convenient method of recharging those during their daily use.
Mayor Bier thanked him for that input.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked, in terms of encouraging private use of van pools, if there is an appropriate place to put that in the plan. In referring to Councilmember O’Neill telling them about the work that is done in staff housing at Jefferson Union High School District and linking that with existing resources, she was thinking about development in Eureka Square someday, and she asked if it is appropriate to mention that here, as they spoke a lot to existing public transportation through SamTrans and she was acknowledging that it is not adequate and it feels that, if they are going to encourage a number of housing units affordable, they will need to encourage, if not require, some kind of support to get people to transit hubs. She didn’t think SamTrans is it. She hoped it will change, as they are seeking to have that happen, looking for seamless transportation issues but she didn’t think it has gotten better over the last few years.

She asked if they need to insert something here or is it covered at another point in the process.
Councilmember O’Neill asked, if that was related to this being a priority development area and there is increased population, whether they will get some extra funding for some things.
Planning Director Murdock thought there are a number of ways that the Sharp Park Specific Plan and the PDA and other elements of existing law come to bear on this issue. He stated that the priority development area is one tool, and it is less clear because all of the funding opportunities are not always known at this point in time. He stated that there are additional funding opportunities where they can get to a critical mass and improve transportation service and add ways for existing transit. He stated that those are very expensive and somewhat longer term solutions, to Councilmember Beckmeyer’s point. One element of existing law that applies through state law through the congestion management program requirements for each county are that CCAG administers the county’s transportation demand management program and it is a fancy word of saying implementing measures like bus passes, van pools, increased bicycle parking and other site specific design and operational components to give people convenient alternatives a to a single occupant vehicle for their transportation needs. He stated that, at the scale of the Sharp Park Specific Plan, supporting bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, bicycle parking, supporting micro-mobility and micro-transit modes, to the mayor’s comments, are where the most impact is likely to be made, given the smaller scale of projects.
Through that transportation demand management program administered through CCAG, any median to larger scale projects that trigger 100 average daily trips are going to trigger a requirement to incorporate those transportation demand management principles into their project and the ongoing monitoring. He stated that, in Chapter 8, Table 8-2, on packet page 152, there is an interesting opportunity that the plan would support, but not appropriate to get into all the implementations specifics in the specific plan. Note No. 1 in Table 8-2 says as an impactful policy statement sort of hidden, they may be able to repackage that if desired, as it talks about the parking in lieu fee that the Council has adopted potentially being recast as a transportation demand of management in lieu fee and broadening the purpose and utility of the fee. He stated that they are singularly focused with the fee on providing off street parking spaces in a common configuration, but all that does is incentivize and reinforce automobile oriented transportation. If the desire is to focus on alternatives to single occupant automobile trips using an in lieu fee of some sort to provide other types of transportation infrastructure and incentives could support those alternatives in a way that the city hasn’t previously done, and that may be something worth revisiting as the plan supports it. He thought there may be some further amplification of how the policy could support that.
Mayor Bier stated she would support that.
Vice Chair Hauser stated this was very important to the Planning Commission as well. She wanted to draw their attention to two different policies. On packet page 75, 4-I-4, curb management, it talks about creating opportunities for ride share spaces, Uber and autonomous vehicle spaces but that was on the public streets and that was something that was thought through, and then they got into private development. On Policy 4-I-16, on packet page 86, it requires new development to contribute to the mobility network options and service quality. The note there says options include provision of onsite bicycle parking dedication of space for car share, e-bike charging stations or electric vehicle charging beyond CalGreen requirements which is currently just a pre-wire for e-bike charging and the Commission felt that this would be a good vehicle to allow staff, when Planning Commission or Council looking at a development proposal, to require these things.

Councilmember Beckmeyer thanked her for mentioning the e-bike charging as that was her other thought.
Mayor Bier concluded they were done with Chapter 4 and moved on to Chapter 5.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked if this was where they talk about the height limits again.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought they were getting there.
Councilmember O’Neill thought, in Chapter 5, two issues or concerns he had was wanting to encourage commercial establishments, restaurants, etc., on Palmetto and Francisco. He asked if this was the appropriate document for them to put in the law or ordinance that they will put in the venting or ability to remodel for venting for restaurants. He thought the biggest obstacle for someone to open a restaurant is the capital needed to remodel an old building, which can cost $100,000 to $150,000 just to do the venting. When you are building, it is a minimal cost, and he would like to see if it is appropriate for this document or something they cover later.
Planning Director Murdock thought this is an appropriate document if a particular emphasis is on restaurant land uses to provide a policy that indicates support for that. They would like to include that in some other type of ordinance to provide more specifics and impose the requirement, including buildings that don’t trigger a discretionary permit under whatever scenario that might occur. He thought it would be appropriate to include it at the will of Council.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he is looking to see about flexibility in terms of the buildings being able to be adapted. He stated that there was something in there about buildings being built so they can handle a variety of businesses, he thought in Chapter 5. He was concerned that, if you want restaurants there, there are probably very few buildings there that are adaptable now for restaurants. He stated that, if that is what they want, this is where they put it.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated it was on page 100.
Councilmember O’Neill asked Planning Director Murdock if that was where they put it.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he would need more time to think about the best place in the document to place it and it would help to see if there is consensus from the Council on that policy and they can work on specific language and placement.
Councilmember Beckmeyer supports that as they need the area to be flexible and adaptable.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that it depends on the size, as if they have a very small commercial, you aren’t going to want to put in all the elements to put in a restaurant in a little tiny space as it might be a coffee shop or bookstore, so it depends on size.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked if it was appropriate to say for square footage above a certain size.
Planning Director Murdock thought there are restaurants of a variety of sizes from very small to very large and it is hard to say that they will only get a restaurant above a certain square footage. To the point about size, he thought it may be a proportionality question, i.e., is the cost too great to include those relative to a very small commercial area. He stated his response would be that, when they come through with zoning amendments to implement the General
2.b

Plan and Sharp Park Specific Plan, they will be talking about minimum commercial FARs and they are likely to ensure sufficient floor area for these commercial and mixed use properties that would be able to support that type of mandatory improvement.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that all they need to do at Rockaway Beach. They have the Holiday Inn, they did an addition, they have a commercial space downstairs. He stated that when you see a hotel, you think people have to eat breakfast but they didn’t outfit that space and it has been vacant for probably almost a year at this point and he talked to someone who had a tenant, a restaurant, and they were going to have to spend $150,00 to remodel it to get the venting, gas, bathrooms, etc., in there, and it seems frustrating that in our “visitor serving area” such as Rockaway, ground floor at the bottom of a restaurant at a prime corner, we did not encourage it to be a restaurant. He asked if they are going to end up with another real estate office, insurance company or something that brings in no revenue to the city, is not visitor serving and is a waste of valuable commercial space that brings in no revenue to Pacifica. He stated that, if you want a whole street of it, let’s not make Palmetto adaptable.
Mayor Bier stated that they want it to be adaptable.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he doesn’t know how to do it, and he asked, on Palmetto and Francisco, do they do it for both. He stated that restaurants do better if there is more than one restaurant, such as five or six, they do better.
Planning Director Murdock stated he was envisioning preparing the policy, if Council is supportive, to apply to all commercial and mixed use buildings in the Specific Plan area so there is a lot applicability unless Council feels it was appropriate to more narrowly target it to a specific street or streets.
Mayor Bier thought that was great.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed to have it apply to all this.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that they all know what Manor Shopping Center is, and one of the issues at Manor Shopping Center is that every single one of those buildings is owned by a different owner. They tried to have a master sign ordinance which has fallen apart. If you go down to Solvang, they all look like they are from Denmark. If you go down to different places, they have a theme. He asked if we want to have some sort of sign design or sign standards so that it doesn’t look tacky or a free for all, etc. He stated that, if you are building mixed use, do you want the neon light to be on the building for the apartments above it.
Mayor Bier thanked him for bringing that up, as she was going to mention the florescent signs.
She stated that there are various sign designs and there is a lot of information about signage but she didn’t see anything about the florescent signs. She stated that there have been people complaining about them, such as the little new store on Palmetto.
Planning Director Murdock stated that the Rockaway Beach specific plan includes some basic sign criteria to help achieve a general consistency and there are guidelines and it is appropriate to support hopefully a policy that calls for development of either street wide or specific plan area wide sign criteria, perhaps as part of the zoning ordinance. He thought it would be difficult at this stage to go back and do that detailed design work now, but a policy to support consistency for corridors might be appropriate. Our current zoning requires multi-unit properties to have master sign programs but it is relatively burdensome for individual small property owners to

develop that. He stated that it is a pain point for him and his team as they work through those requirements. He thought, if they could achieve something that was suitable from a neighborhood wide standpoint that would business friendly, staff friendly and may result in a better outcome as well, rather than a building-by-building approach. He would offer one counterpoint, that Eureka Square has a very recently adopted m aster sign program and maybe Palmetto has one, Francisco may have another and maybe that is the right balance to consider, given the unique characteristics of each of those and the signage needs of those areas.
Councilmember O’Neill wasn’t saying that Palmetto and Francisco have to have the same, but Councilmember Vaterlaus was telling him about a merchant that was going to put up a sign and it was going to cost them $20,000 and he didn’t think they need to put that burden on someone, but he didn’t want a bunch of little tacky neon signs up and down Palmetto.
Planning Director Murdock stated that, in his professional judgment, signage is critically important and often overlooked as it can make or break the quality and character of an area.
He stated that high quality signs can be very expensive but they are a one-time investment that can last for many years if not decades, and make or break an area. He stated our code wouldn’t prescribe a cost, but with the higher quality of the sign, he thought it was a reasonable assumption it would be more expensive than those ticky-tacky signs they are describing that tend to be less expensive and often preferred by business owners on account of the cost. He stated that was a policy question for Council as it relates to the overall outcome and appearance of the area.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it is referenced very broadly on packet page 90 under guiding policies, 5-G-1, Unified Image, and it mentions signage. In a few places on lighting and illumination zone.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought that was to be a way finding more than regarding commercial use which is now he reads it.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he will need to circle around to that policy. He referred to packet page 92, with respect to the glare question, there is policy 5-I-10 that talks about light pollution reduction and you don’t excessively brighten neon signs, for example, would likely be inconsistent with that and they would want to take the allowable type of lighting into consideration when crafting signage guidelines.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that was all he had for right now.
Mayor Bier asked if they want to address height limits. She thought it was better to leave it at 45 feet. She thought the extra 10 feet is causing our community pain and making them afraid.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck agreed with her. He recalled a couple of years ago, they were angling for 35 and 45 and it was a painful conclusion to come to. He is acutely aware of our affordable housing issues to the tune of two of roommates he lives with currently, and while he is acutely aware of the regional housing allocation numbers that are going to be a tension point for at least the next few months,, it is important to our community and he will err on the side of Mayor Bier’s judgment in this instance.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that the current height limit is 35, and if they are going to expand at all and try to put forward that that the city is willing to try to meet our numbers, how are we going to do it. She thought we will have to change density. She thinks that, by stepping

back the properties and putting rooftop decks makes a huge difference. She thinks that those buildings that look like they are old but aren’t, she thinks buildings can be built that way. She stated that the Royal Bee has a facade and they could have a deck and step back residential on the top of that building. She stated that it won’t affect other people and that is her big thing with Eureka Square, as it doesn’t affect anybody. She understands the incentive of trying to give people incentive to build more affordable, because that will be an issue too of trying to get more affordable. If they leave it at the same height limit it is now, what have they accomplished. She stated that they are trying to get somewhere where they can get to our RHNA numbers plus, if you have housing where the commercial is, this was our downtown. If you have residential with the commercial, it is a natural incentive for people to walk, get out, not use their cars and walk to shops, restaurants and use the shops there so those businesses are doing better because they have people around them all the time. She thought it was really important as you don’t want people who are going to work and then go home like downtown San Francisco where everyone goes there during the day and then they all leave. If people are living in the same neighborhood, and on top of the businesses, they are going to use those businesses more.
Mayor Bier thanked her for saying that, and she clarified that they are talking about the north of San Jose Avenue to 45 feet and Palmetto Avenue south of San Jose Avenue is 55, and they are increasing density in that one area.
Planning Director Murdock stated that was the point he wanted to clarify so he was understanding the conversation in the right context and he can provide helpful support. If they are focused on the discussion of whether 45 or up to 55 with certain incentives is appropriate on Palmetto Avenue north of San Jose, they talked about some of those relevant considerations.
He is asking if that additional height worth the tradeoff for potentially creating two affordable housing units for instance on a property and that is a policy attention that Council will have to work through. He stated that the Planning Commission prepared a thoughtful policy option for Council and Council could scale that back in line with their previous guidance on the Specific Plan north of San Jose Avenue.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it would be helpful to her to go back to what Mr. Bhatia was saying about the density and affordable housing development and limiting too much could stimulate builders to invoke state bonus law.
Consultant Bhatia stated that this is a discussion that Vice Chair Hauser can chime in on that they had with the Planning Commission. Currently, the scope that Vice Chair Hauser stated is that the densities do go up to 50 units per acre, but those densities are not realizable at 35 or maybe in some instances at 45 feet. He stated that the question is, if an affordable housing developer does come about, depending on the level of affordability they provide, the state law gives them ability to ask for anywhere from 1-4 concessions. He stated that building height is a typical concession that they ask for and a parking reduction would be another concession they may ask for. He stated that the city is not in the position to say that they take the parking instead of the height concession because they believe it is better for them or more financially feasible and the developer would decide what concessions they want. He stated that it applies to developments that are more than six units in size. He stated, if someone has an affordable development that provides the right mix of affordable housing and they asked for the concession they are able to get. They can ask for two stories or for 65 feet for example. He stated that there is a process they need to go through to get it, not just get it tomorrow. He stated that what the Planning Director Murdock was alluding to is that they will provide an alternative path that, in case they do not want to go in that direction and spend the months to get the additional height, they have the 65 feet and, if you need it, it is an easier task than getting implemented for larger

projects and for smaller projects that do not otherwise qualify for the state density bonus, that would still be a level of payment available to the small developments as well and, if it is a small lot, they are stepping back in the front and the side, and the lot is only so big, the perceptual mass of that building is not going be that big compared to a bigger lot where a bigger building may really come in. He stated that it is a balancing act across a variety of ideas.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if the density bonuses overrule the Coastal Commission.
Consultant Bhatia stated that there are density bonuses and the development concessions. He stated that he will defer to the city attorney about the Coastal Commission issue.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that they have a de facto height limit of 35 feet because it is in the coastal zone, and if they want to make it 55 or 45, it is a battle either way. He is asking if he is saying that we limit it to 45 and, if they want to get the density bonus, will that raise it to 55 or 65 or whatever and overrule the Coastal Commission’s rule.
Consultant Bhatia thought he was asking is, if the concession they ask for is a height concession, are they compelled to grant it even though our height limits will be lower under the coastal plan. He wasn’t sure about that answer but thought the city attorney may have the answer.
Planning Director Murdock stated he would start first and the city attorney can add on as necessary. He stated that state density bonus law is in government code section 659135, and subdivision M is that it really gets to the core of what they are talking about. He read it and then said they need to reconcile those two important policy components of state law, density bonus and affordable housing on one hand and coastal resource protection through the Coastal Act and our LCP on the other hand. He mentioned earlier that, while the state density bonus law can still apply in the coastal zone, the city will be on the defensive where they have to justify why the density bonus would be inconsistent with the Coastal Act and our LCP and that puts them in a position of having to argue why that density bonus incentive or concession should not be granted. He would prefer that the city be in a place where, if the developer chooses not to invoke state density bonus law and they can negotiate what the appropriate outcome is up to and including 55 feet in height and 50 units per acre in the mixed use center. He stated that the tradeoff is that they invoke density bonus law and we have much less control to achieve the desired outcomes and we may get 55 feet or more in height as those people may be entitled to under the state density bonus law unless the city can conclude that it is inconsistent with the Coastal Act.
Consultant Bhatia stated that, prior to 2019, the coastal zone provisions prevailed over the density bonus regulations. The state law Planning Director Murdock is referring to for the density bonus about harmonizing that with the coastal zone, in effect, overturned a cold case out there that was the guiding one that said that the Coastal Act prevailed, but it still speaks to the notion of harmonizing, but he didn’t have the answer to the concession of the height issue.
He stated that on the density issue, he does know that state law asks us to harmonize the state’s affordability density provisions with the provisions of the Coastal Act. He states that it puts the city in an odd situation to harmonize it and be better off to the extent they can have more control over it with the alternative path that gives the developers some guidance as Director Murdock suggested.
Councilmember O’Neill wants to be sure he understands this correctly that the RHNA numbers of approximately 1,900 is requiring the city to identify 1,900 places that they can build some sort
2.b
Packet Pg. 78
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 26 August 31, 2022
of housing and they have no control whether they will get it built because a developer has to come in. He stated that, if they go down from 55 to 45 feet, they would have to identify a specific amount of unites somewhere else in the city to build 1,900 units.
Planning Director Murdock stated that generally he is correct. He stated that part of the housing sites analysis that they have to go through to demonstrate their ability to accommodate the RHNA is demonstrating that their assumptions are reasonable. They start with the characteristics of the site, including size, maximum density allowed, and how developments have realistically developed in reliance on this. He stated that most aren’t developing at 100% density and there are assumptions that they didn’t include in the calculations that says realistically the density will be at a certain level, adding that when you take the height from 55 feet to 45 feet or 45 to 35, those reasonable assumptions the achievable density go down as it is harder to fit more units in a smaller building than a taller building. He stated that there could be impacts where they cannot assume as many units on sites that are limited to 35 or 45 feet and have to be made up at some other site in Pacifica.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he wanted to throw that out into the discussion as part of the recipe for this.
Mayor Bier wonders how many units would it be north of San Jose Avenue.
Planning Director Murdock stated that the answer is not many. He thought it was more illustrative of the city’s support and it would help them make the argument to the state in certifying our housing element that we are taking all reasonable measures to support housing production generally and affordable housing specifically. He concluded that, at the end of the day, it isn’t going to make or break their RHNA.
Councilmember O’Neill asked, in terms of going to the Coastal Commission, as they aren’t going to be happy with either 45 or 55 feet, whether it would be more prudent to go in there with 55 intending that they won’t go any lower than 45 from a negotiating point of view.
Planning Director Murdock stated that staff’s assessment is, whether 45 or 55, the visual resources impacts are not meaningfully different. He stated that you see what you see from public view’s advantage points along the rights of way in some minimum number of publicly owned property which are the key coastal views they are obligated to protect and preserve, and once you go above the current baseline of 35 feet, what will change in terms of the water views or mountain views in this particular neighborhood between 45 and 55. He thought not that much, but there are other considerations, like scale and neighborhood character which are relevant, but in terms of visual resource impacts, he wasn’t sure there is a meaningful difference.
Consultant Bhatia stated that many of the parcels are also corner parcels and we have such small blocks here so when stepping the buildings back, they are likely stepping it back on two streets in the front, not just Palmetto. He stated that, in many instances, there are only two parcels, one on either corner and the mass does get reduced effectively when you step back.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that something occurred to him in the discussion about the state density bonus laws that he wanted to see if this is an over-simplification or a potentially unintended consequence. If the current Planning Commission recommendation related to 55 feet height is scaled back to 45, he stated that an unintended consequence of that would be to incentivize more potential developers to utilize the state density bonus law and result in loss of
2.b
Packet Pg. 79
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 27 August 31, 2022
control factors to the city and higher height than 45 anyways. He asked if that is an unintended consequence or a simplification of this.
Consultant Bhatia stated this was specifically discussed and it is not an unintended consequence as the Commission discussed that this is what will happen in this very issue if they were to not do that and try to get more control and try to provide that incentive from the city’s perspective as opposed to developers by default who want to go up in that direction and seek the state density bonus. He thought two of the commissioners were well versed in those state laws.
Planning Director Murdock stated that, whether or not it is likely or unlikely, the fact is that, without providing this mechanism as recommended by the Planning Commission, there would be no available alternative for a developer to use other than state density bonus law which, by default, makes it more likely to occur.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked Vice Chair Hauser, in her experience, if they are doing themselves a favor by retaining more control if they were to go along with the 55 feet.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that this is something they talked about a lot and it is definitely preferable to not have the state density bonus, seeing what governs developers, as the state density bonus takes a sledgehammer to something that really requires a chisel. She stated that, if she is a developer and provides a housing development with 10% of the units being moderate, which is less than Pacifica’s municipal code currently requires. She would automatically qualify for a state density bonus which allows for one concession, i.e., do whatever she wants as long as she can prove that there is an economic benefit to her and unlimited waivers. She stated that unlimited waivers is the thing that is really scary. If there is any sort of objective development standard that the city has established, a developer using the state density bonus law could say that he doesn’t want to do a setback, glazing on the bottom, or commercial and they can get something that looks completely different than anything that was ever intended by this plan. She stated that, by using a Pacifica incentive, it is to hold the purse strings and hold that control so they do have the flexibility to do something that is aesthetically pleasing and respectful of the neighborhood, community, etc.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought she also answered his next question, but he will ask so he can hear it again, i.e., if a developer were to apply for these height concessions, he thought he heard her say that, even though they asking for height concessions, they are simultaneously no longer constrained by our design standards.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that he is correct, as long as it is an objective design standard, they are not constrained by them.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked her to say the last part again.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that they can waive out of any objective design standards, any guidelines, any municipal code requirements for a setback, open space or parking. She stated that, in addition to the concession and waivers that are unlimited, there is subdivision P of the state density bonus law which already has a parking reduction baked into it. She stated that she can’t state enough that they really tried to do things in a way where developers would not be able to concede out of the commercial they were thinking of or provide minimal affordable housing and get all of the incentives that probably were not meant for them but for low and very low affordable deed restrictions.

City Attorney Kenyon stated, not to correct any of the information and legal analysis that they have gotten from staff and Vice Chair Hauser, she is there to provide color as she can tell them that this struggle that they are all having now with how they deal with the implications of the state density bonus law and what it practically means when an application comes in as Vice Chair Hauser eloquently articulated for them, that is a discussion that Councils are having everywhere because of what is happening with the RHNA numbers and the need to find those units. She stated that the balance between being specific in what they want versus anticipating what is going to come to them and how can they address that future development that they don’t have in front of them. She stated that it is a balancing test and what they are hearing from Vice Chair Hauser is that the Commission has spent hours on this in many meetings, discussing it and coming up with an approach that is not unusual and other communities have followed as well when dealing with this tough issue.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he has spent hours watching the Planning Commission deliberate on this specific topic and Vice Chair Hauser speaking in such a way to bring them to this policy that it seemed to him that they were doing everything they could to protect us to the point where we could decide our own destiny through this methodology than the alternative.
He stated that it was painful for him to vote against one unit of affordable housing, but simultaneously, it is painful for him to vote against the community wanting their community to be at the scale and consistency they wanted. He thought 45 feet was going to a place that was uncomfortable for him north of San Jose on Palmetto within the context of the community. He wanted to say that they don’t have control over what the state says we have to do, but we do have control over saying that we support the community in what they would like to see and, from there, if the state wants to come and impose, they have the design standards in place and it is incumbent on the state to deal with it. He would be charmed if that oversimplification actually was something that he heard any evidence was true based on everything he just heard. He stated that makes an uncomfortable position for him to be in, even though it hurts to give up any affordable housing units. Since Planning Director Murdock stated that it wasn’t that much affordable housing, he could swallow that for the sake of his community but what is hard for him is hearing that, if he doesn’t do this thing which his community is looking at and saying that is not what they want but simultaneously hearing that it may be the same mechanism by which they can retain any control whatsoever. He stated that is what he is considering as he listen to others as he is in a place where he doesn’t know how he is going to fall.
Councilmember O’Neill asked, in keeping a 45 foot height limits, whether there is an incentive they can give a developer for keeping it at 45 that would not want to make them go for the density bonus. He asked, if they want to go for a bonus to go higher, whether there was some bonus they can think of to keep it at 45 and disincentivize them to go higher.
Planning Director Murdock thought it was hard for him to imagine, and they need to see if there are any direct economic financial gains and he thought an in lieu parking fee is one area to explore, such as a waiver in certain instances, but relative to the cost of potential income of an additional unit is a relatively small amount, even if Council were to waive the in lieu parking fee.
He was at a loss to think of additional base to incentivize the affordable housing production.
Consultant Bhatia stated that parking is the first thing that came to his mind as that the biggest cost of structured parking.
Vice Chair Hauser stated that the easy one for her is ground floor commercial space which is a loss later or a net neutral to most developers, and if you can use it for getting more housing, that
2.b
Packet Pg. 81
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 29 August 31, 2022
is an obvious way to create an economic benefit. She stated that, via a state density bonus, that can already happen as they can concede or waiver out of the commercial. She thought the question was how you balance that against all these other policies that they tried to put forth, i.e., an active ground floor that is walkable and pedestrian friendly with strong street walks. She stated that is the well hanging fruit she sees but she doesn’t know if it undoes other things they care about.
Planning Director Murdock stated he would continue what Vice Chair Hauser was saying and put in context the existing challenges that exist for creation of a vibrant, dynamic Palmetto Avenue. He stated that they are not in a situation like many other downtowns where there are multiple streets and a nice grid configuration with multiple opportunities to wrap around commercial in a very continuous environment. He stated that, on Palmetto, they are talking about a long linear mixed use area that they are trying to create with enough critical mass of interesting uses and business, etc., that they do draw the types of investment and visitors that they are seeking with the plan to result in half of that available area by foregoing ground floor commercial use north of San Jose Avenue as a tradeoff to manage height walls to achieve affordable housing. He stated that they might drastically undercut the primary mission of the plan which is to create a vibrant mixed use commercial destination.
City Manager Woodhouse stated he doesn’t know if it will help Council or not, but it occurs to him to realize that the decision they make on this matter at this time is not necessarily a permanent decision for the next 20 years for Pacifica as plans and policies can be revised in the future with revisions to the plan. He stated that Planning Director Murdock or City Attorney Kenyon can chime in on that. He stated that there are so many variables related to development incentives and what is happening or might happen in Pacifica that they would learn from what does happen and adjust. He didn’t know if it would help, but he was reminding them that the decision on this is very important but not permanent for future decades.
Councilmember O’Neill asked if it would be possible that only the larger parcels can have a height limit of 55 and the rest remain at 45, or if a developer buys 4 or 5 parcels to build something.
Planning Director Murdock stated that it was possible, and what he think that incentivizes is potentially lot consolidation which is one of the goals of this plan to achieve better building design and site planning. He stated that, once they have the larger lot, even if a minimal density, you have a project that is going to trigger state density bonus law and achieve eight or more units which is going to be subject to the city’s below market rate inclusionary ordinance and would not be in this category of projects. He stated that they are really talking about projects that are in the vicinity of seven units or below and six and seven unit projects are in that sweet spot for the lot sizes that they are talking about in this area.
Mayor Bier asked Council where they go from here.
Councilmember O’Neill thought they should take a sense of the Council to see how many are 55 and how many are 45, but he didn’t know if any of them have made up their mind.
Mayor Bier stated, after hearing everything, she wanted to stand up for the community and say that north of San Jose should be 45, not 55. She asked where the rest stand.
Councilmember O’Neill was leaning toward risking 45.

Councilmember Vaterlaus thought it was hard as they are changing the neighborhood. She stated that it has been in process for a long time to make this a downtown which is difficult because people want things to stay the same. She thought, in order to go forward and get what the state wants, it is hard and it could come out beautiful which is hard to imagine it. She thought it was difficult to follow what the pictures are. She stated that they have to do something.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thinks 45 north of San Jose and 55 elsewhere. She thinks the risk of the invocation of a density bonus is a calculated risk. She is looking at the figures 3-2 on existing land use, and 3-3.
Councilmember O’Neill asked what page she was on.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated it was packet pages 36 and 41. She stated that they received public comment on this issue. She wants to test his understanding is that, if it were 45, there is the risk that the developer could say no, he wants a density bonus and not have to abide by any of the other design considerations in that transaction. She stated that she was concerned earlier when she was hearing that they could even ask for 65, so she thought the rubber part for her is what the risk is of what they are going to do and not being able to control it.
She stated, considering the coastal zone we are in and the need to respect the view shed area and neighborhood character that they see consistently brought up by the Coastal Commission, those will be issues for us and for any projects that come forward. She stated that they are attempting to have their guidelines blend in with the neighborhood as much as possible while changing it and she feels that 45 is a good compromise.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he heard an active member of the community and this area specifically for a long time that this is a nightmare. He thinks that 45 feet probably isn’t making that nightmare any better, even though it sounds like consensus is leaning toward that being the least we can do to make it not quite as much of a nightmare. He acknowledged that as well as that she is not the only one feeling that way. He also appreciated that other community members feel different, but this may be minimizing it a little bit and he will vote with consensus and take the chance that they may not be losing the last bit of control they could have and are trying on any level to stand up for our community. He agreed with 45 north of San Jose.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated with no incentives, if they build affordable even on small projects as that was one of their items with possibly going up to 55 if they have the incentives, sort of like Eureka Square, to build affordable even on small projects.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated not necessarily.
Planning Director Murdock stated, depending where the majority of Council goes on this, one policy option to minimize the risk of projects invoking state density bonus law is to lower fee density that is allowable for those areas north of San Jose Avenue. He stated that Planning Commission had recommended, as part of policy 3-I-39, that to maintain compatible scale, density be allowed at 30-25 dwelling units per acre, and he thought limiting it to 30 units would reduce the number of lot sizes that could potentially achieve 60 units and thus trigger state density bonus law. That was one risk mitigation approach the Council could consider as a companion to limiting building heights to 45 feet north of San Jose Avenue. He stated that the flip side of that would limit the number of potential projects that might get to eight units and trigger the cities BMR ordinance and have adverse effects on affordable housing production, but he thought it sounded as though the Council may be leaning towards balancing this issue in
2.b
Packet Pg. 83

favor of neighborhood scale and more modest height limits. He stated that, as a supplement to that, they may push down the density to 30 units per acre.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought that made sense to her.
Mayor Bier agreed that it made sense to her.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck concluded it was specifically north of San Jose, only along Palmetto.
Mayor Bier agreed.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that one of the biggest vacant lots in Sharp Park is on Palmetto between Salada and Santa Maria which is north of San Jose.
Mayor Bier thought it is getting harder and harder with every single sentence.
Councilmember O’Neill concluded that they are giving a consensus of 55 below south of San Jose, 45 above only on Palmetto. He stated he was okay with that.
Planning Director Murdock referred to Councilmember Vaterlaus’ point, and he thought the lot described at the southwest corner of Santa Maria and Palmetto Avenue, is designated mixed use center currently, and even pushing the density down to 30 units per acre, that project would trigger 11 units and would be eligible for state density bonus law and would be able to provide affordable housing and benefit from the variety of concessions and waivers and the Council would have limited options to prevent that.
Councilmember Vaterlaus concluded that it is regardless and it doesn’t make any difference.
Planning Director Murdock agreed unless a fundamental change in density of much lower than 30 units was considered which they would not recommend at this point.
Councilmember Vaterlaus asked if they were lowering the density to 30.
Mayor Bier responded that they were.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that, while they are on this page, she brought up and one member of the public brought up, and she knows that Planning Director Murdock explained it, but she asked if he could explain again why certain parcels are designated certain ways. She stated that the went through this with the property on Salada where they ended up parking their cars on the front yard because it was zoned R2 and it had to be R3 and, even though it wasn’t three units, it was a very complicated process and, if some of the lots are already designated incorrectly, what about lots that are in the process of approval now. What happens with those.
Planning Director Murdock stated he was referring to the lot of 37 Salada Avenue project which is now being constructed. It was a very typical process. He admits that the city didn’t have the best tools available at that time, and those that were available were to redesignate that property to high density residential which he thinks elicited some reaction from Council at that time and it didn’t feel like the right approach. He stated that, due to the mathematics of how the density ranges are calculated, the applicable zoning that corresponds and allows development at those densities and the very small lot size that generated a high “density” even for one single family residence. He stands behind the right approach to resolve that issue from the tools that were
2.b
Packet Pg. 84
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 32 August 31, 2022
available at that time. He stated that the other considerations that made that project difficult were that the lots, as mentioned, were small but very narrow as well and the options to provide a nice economically desirable house while also providing a driveway and garage was hard to imagine how all of that could be provided. He stated that there are ways to do it, but there are tradeoffs in building design and they provided examples of that. At the end of the day, Council said they didn’t want to do this again so where he is hoping to address that is through zoning revisions that implement small lot size development standards which may allow development of lots to be constructed without changing the General Plan under certain strict development standards, perhaps smaller floor area and finding a way to accommodate parking that is acceptable to the neighborhood. He concluded that the reality is that there is no good way to make everybody happy when you have such small lots which is one of the factors in favor of encouraging lot consolidation by making development of individual very small lots undesirable and consolidation and development of larger lots that provide design flexibility that is more desirable. He stated that is the challenge that he has to try to put something together for Council to consider as part of the zoning ordinance update. He stated that, at this point, they tried to stick very close to direction not to tinker with the east/west streets in this Sharp Park Specific Plan and focus on the north/south commercial mixed use corridors, and that is why, for better or worse, they haven’t proposed a bunch of land use changes to maybe right size some of those densities or reflect existing built conditions. They kept the status quo from the 1980 Local Coastal Land Use Plan and it would require direction from Council to go back and revisit that at this time.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated, since they didn’t change anything, the properties that are in process are still the same as they were before.
Planning Director Murdock agreed, adding that he isn’t familiar with the application that one of the public commenters referenced earlier, and if it came in late today, he was not aware of it.
He thinks the more relevant point is, whatever the Council may due at this meeting or in an upcoming meeting, this plan and the Local Coastal Land Use Plan are not going to be certified in a day, week or even month by the Coastal Commission and another instance of where status quo remains and they will have to use the tools in the tool box today, including those tools they had to use for Salada Avenue, Lot 37, and it may come back again and they will have to figure out if there is an incrementally better way to design a project on one of those sites.
Councilmember Vaterlaus thanked him for reclarifying that for her.
Mayor Bier suggested they move on to Chapter 6.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck agreed, but before they do, he stated that, after watching the Planning Commission going through all this, especially Chapters 3, 4 and 5, they just got the smallest taste of that and he reiterated how grateful he is for the pains the Commission has taken to get them to this point as that may be the most difficulty they have at this meeting.
Mayor Bier thanked him for saying that as she thought the same thing. She asked if they had anything in Chapter 6.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to packet page 120, under electricity and natural gas, at the top of that paragraph, and he wondered about the relationship between Peninsula Clean Energy and PG&E and how accurate that narrative is, adding that he may be speaking from the bias of working with PCE, and this may be accurate but he wanted to ask.
2.b
Packet Pg. 85
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 33 August 31, 2022
Planning Director Murdock stated he was not seeing any factual inaccuracies with the narrative as presented, but if there is something more specific you would like to have clarified, they can revisit that narrative ad make it a more explicit statement that they are separate utility providers or PCE provides electricity through PG&E’s distribution system, but sources through its own power contracts. He needs to understand about what clarification or distinction should be made.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he want PCE to get as much credit as possible, but at the end of the day, he didn’t think it was inaccurate. He wanted to have that conversation out loud in a public venue to make sure that is straight for him.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that it is inaccurate to say PCE and PG&E currently provide gas and electric services to Pacifica homes, adding that PCE doesn’t provide gas. She stated that they aren’t mentioned until a little way down the paragraph.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck agreed, as he was thinking that they should be leading with PCE but, even when it comes to electric services, the poles and wires are all PG&E and it is not an inaccurate statement. He stated, as he read it, he felt a momentary wounding of pride as he has been closely identifying with PCE.
City Manager Woodhouse stated that, under Council’s direction, they don’t have to the words meet that language at this time, but they can augment it and clean it up to make PCE more prominent and describe the relationship between PCE and PG&E if they get direction from Council that is what they want for the final document.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed with that.
Mayor Bier also agreed.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated, on the same line, in the solid waste paragraph, they are leading with landfills.
Mayor Bier asked where she was.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated it was page 121. She stated, while landfills a thing, Senate Bill 1383 and other regulations that are currently in place that may not have been when this was originally put together and not as strongly, but she added, as it says Recology emphasizes waste production and diversion, that she would like to see that up higher because the emphasis on landfill at the beginning of that sentence was stating the things they provide is troublesome.
She didn’t think most of Pacifica’s waste is going to landfills based on what she has heard from Chris Porter, as we are a super green waste producer and have been for quite a time, and she thought it was along the same line that everyone wants to see that emphasized.
City Manager Woodhouse thought they could do that same thing. He knows that the comma list mentions transfer stations and materials recovery facilities and they could move what is known as MRFs in the industry, material recovery facilities, before landfills and transfer stations and emphasize recycling and composting collection more in that paragraph.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought that would be great.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated, while in that section, he sent a list of typos to staff which he
2.b
Packet Pg. 86
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 34 August 31, 2022
thought was included in that list but it says residential recyclable waste is collected every other week, but the residential recyclable waste is collected every week.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated he was correct.
Mayor Bier then moved on to Chapter 7.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck referred to packet page 136, figure 7-8, and he was curious about the one stationary source exceeding what Bay Area Air Quality Management District threshold was.
He asked if that was Clay Creations.
Planning Director Murdock stated that it is not. The figure is from a statewide data source using latitude and longitude that erroneously plots the dot and they need to fix it. It is a generator at the old wastewater treatment plant facility along Montecito Avenue. He stated that they will adjust that dot to correctly reflect the location.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck thought that was what it was from the narrative. He then stated when he reads a narrative about the seawall north of the pier, he keeps thinking in his head that it is a retaining wall, not a sea wall and that harkens back to the earlier conversation about the community wanting Council to emphasize our commitment to preserving that area of town, and he reminded them that the conversation they had earlier is that they might be muddying the waters more if they try to emphasize it in this document, and he thought they were not doing so to the best of his understanding now.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated she was concerned about acknowledging the need that was raised by some who live in that community. She thinks there is an element of confidence and trust that the city is going to take care of the community of property owners, homeowners, etc.
She stated, if there was a way to impart that without triggering the concerns raised by staff, she would like to see them do that. She didn’t know where to do it, and she didn’t think creating a policy is the best thing to do but it is a fact that they have submitted this in our Local Coastal Land Use Plan Update.
Mayor Bier stated that they also have the Beach Boulevard infrastructure resiliency part.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed. She then stated she was looking at packet page 142.
City Manager Woodhouse stated he wanted to offer a slightly different perspective or restatement of what Planning Director Murdock said earlier. He stated that it reminds him of other city business, administrative and policy issues via labor MOUs or policies and city ordinances for administrative efficiency and not to inadvertently create additional administrative approvals or regulatory approvals. He stated that they try not to overlap too much stuff as Council’s direction and position on policies related to the BBIRP (Beach Blvd Infrastructure Resiliency Project) are clear and the policies in the LCLUP that Council approved. He stated that there can be inadvertent consequences of creating hoops to jump through if you intertwine certain things in multiple plans. He didn’t know if that helps, but that is part of the driver.
Mayor Bier thought that helps her.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that, as she looks at the paragraph on page 142 that describes the resiliency project, it is very clear what is contemplated in that project and what it is aiming to do. She wondered if there was somewhere else in this section where they can have a
2.b
Packet Pg. 87
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 35 August 31, 2022
more general statement.
Mayor Bier asked Councilmember Vaterlaus if she wanted to say something.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that she saw it in there also, and she thought it explains what is going to happen in that process.
Councilmember Beckmeyer asked her if she was talking about page 142.
Councilmember Vaterlaus responded affirmatively, adding in several of the areas on page 142.
Councilmember Beckmeyer agreed.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that it says to protect public infrastructure, recreational, homes, businesses, and the community at large from impacts due to continued coastal erosion.
She thinks that statement is what was asked for.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated that she also sees on page 124, in the very place that she was suggesting that they consider, i.e., this chapter establishes goals and policies that, in combination with General Plan and local Coastal Program policies and other local, state and federal regulations mitigate the potential negative effects of natural and man-made environmental hazards and coastal resiliency issues. She asked if they think that covers it.
Mayor Bier thought it covers it more on page 146, and she is okay with that. She then moved on to Chapter 8.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated there are a couple different paragraphs, one about updating the parkland in lieu fees and a couple of different things about impact fees, and what occurred to him when he was reading it was that it was talking about those impact fees as though we’re going to have the conversation. It occurred to him that they already had the conversation and he wondered if it would not be appropriate to change it to the past tense rather than the future tense.
Planning Director Murdock agreed, as given the drafting date of this language relative to when the Council updated those fees. They need to update the narrative and they will do that.
Mayor Bier asked if they could have a motion.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that he wasn’t ready to make a motion. He wanted to make sure staff presented these changes to 3-11, 3-20 and 5-9 and regarding the recommendation of Planning Commission, he thought they all gave early consensus that they are including those in the motion and he wanted to remind them of that before a motion is made.
City Manager Woodhouse wanted to make sure Planning Director Murdock was ready with policy language. He stated that there were a couple of suggested additions or policy revisions that they want to make sure they show that they captured them. He asked if Planning Director Murdock will show or read language.
Planning Director Murdock stated that he would need a bit more time to repackage it in a visual manner. He thought he could start by reading it. He stated that he would like to run down the list of Council’s directed revisions, with some involving more extensive policy language and they
2.b
Packet Pg. 88
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 36 August 31, 2022
can pause there and take it as the Council needs. He stated that Council moved around the document but not entirely consecutively and they may be jumping around from chapter to chapter. He stated that the first on the list is adding a policy to Chapter 4 to install extra signage and other engineering measures to reduce wrong way travel on one-way streets, add a table of contents, amend the bicycle and pedestrian master plan to incorporate the additional improvements recommended by the Planning Commission, Policy 3-G-4 to be revised to also allow expansions of size and range of services provided by the Pacific Resource Center consistent with the development standards for the underlying land use designation. He stated there is one where he has a question mark for confirmation by Council is ensuring that there is a description at the first reference in the narrative to the Pacifica Pier indicating that its formal name is Rev. Hershel Harkins Pier but what is less clear is if Council wanted all references to Pacifica Pier to be to the Rev. Herschell Harkins Pier which would require a number of figure updates or if mentioned in the narrative is sufficient.
Councilmember O’Neill stated he was okay with just Pacifica Pier as that is the common vernacular.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated once is fine.
Councilmember Beckmeyer stated it is fine as long as it is named once somewhere.
Councilmember O’Neill stated it is on page 21.
Councilmember Beckmeyer thought she saw it on page 18, but it is somewhere.
Planning Director Murdock stated that they will make sure that the first mention of the pier in the narrative is inclusive of Rev. Herschell Harkins Pier. He stated that the next item is Table 8-2 in note No. 1, wanting a policy to amplify that City Council is interested at some point in determines recasting the parking in lieu fee to a transportation demand management in lieu fee.
The policy that they would add would be explore opportunities to replace or supplement the parking in lieu fee with a transportation demand management fee to support transportation modes other than personal automobiles.
Councilmember O’Neill agreed.
Planning Director Murdock stated the next item was to add a policy to require the inclusion of venting and other improvements necessary for restaurants at the time of building construction and that policy language would be, ensure that commercial and mixed use buildings are designed and constructed to include venting and other required mechanical improvements to allow restaurant uses.
Councilmember O’Neill added that he didn’t know if it has to include the venting but allow the easy installation of the venting. He stated that, if you go in there, you don’t know where the stove is going to be then it would be fairly easy to install and not get into structural modifications.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck asked Planning Director Murdock if that means that they will presumably discussing an ordinance associated with that policy when it comes to goal setting time.
Planning Director Murdock stated it was possible, and they will need to further assess the best
2.b
Packet Pg. 89
Attachment: Attachment B: Minutes of August 31, 2022 Special Meeting (5131 : Approval of Minutes) City Council Special Meeting 37 August 31, 2022
way to effectuate that. He stated that he mentioned earlier that there may be instances where a project does not need discretionary review and nearly all projects subject to this policy will and they can insert that in the Planning Commission level review and an ordinance may end up ultimately not being necessary, but they will need to consider if that should be a supplement to this. He stated that, based on Councilmember O’Neill’s feedback, he would suggest a revision to ensure that commercial and mixed use buildings are designed and constructed to allow ready installation of venting and other required mechanical improvements to allow restaurant uses.
He would like to consult with the building official should the Council make the motion to approve at this meeting to see if there is more specific technical wording that they can use to be more specific, but within the intent of Council.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that was fine.
Planning Director Murdock stated another policy that could be added is to develop signage guidelines for distinct commercial and mixed use corridors to ensure consistency and sign design. He stated that the next item on packet page 57, Policy 3-I-39, is to revise that policy to maintain a compatible scale, development on northern Palmetto Avenue north of San Jose Avenue, shall be allowed at a density of 30 dwelling units per acre and at heights up to 45 feet and they would delete the italicized text in Policy 3-I-11 which makes a reference to the affordable housing policies in the revised 3-I-39. He stated that there may be a need to make some corresponding edits to certain tables describing land use densities, and do they want that direction as well. He stated that, on page 6-9, packet page 120, they are going to rework the electricity and gas narrative to make Peninsula Clean Energy more prominent and more clearly describe what PCE is and its purpose and relevance in Pacifica and on page 6-10, similarly with the solid waste section, as City Manager Woodhouse described, they will reorder the list of Recology services to emphasize its recycling, waste reduction and diversion services including composting to de-emphasize the landfill services. On page 6-10, they will correct the misstatement by indicating that residential recyclable waste is collected every week as opposed to every other week. On Figure 7-8, they will correct the misplaced stationary source that exceeds background thresholds to its correct location on Montecito Avenue at the old wastewater treatment plant. On page 8-6, they will revise language regarding the park in lieu fee adoption to indicate that it has been adopted, not that it needs to be or should be adopted and updated, and lastly, as mentioned by Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck, the additional revisions presented in the slides to fully incorporate the Planning Commission’s recommendations.
City Manager Woodhouse asked if he included the building height decision in his list.
Planning Director Murdock responded affirmatively, stating that it was mention of Policy 3-I-39 related to Palmetto Avenue north of San Jose Avenue.
Mayor Bier thanked him for all that work he just did. She asked if they have a motion.
Councilmember O’Neill moved to adopt the attached Resolution to a) Find approval of the Sharp Park Specific Plan to be substantially consistent with the plan evaluated in the General Plan Update and Sharp Park Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 2012022046, certified by the City Council on July 11, 2022, for purposes of complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and b) Approve the Sharp Park Specific Plan as recommended by the Planning Commission as amended; and c) Incorporate all maps and testimony into the record by reference.
Councilmember Vaterlaus stated that she would second it with the indications that Planning

Director Murdock gave them.
Councilmember O’Neill stated that he said as amended.
Mayor pro Tem Bigstyck stated that this has been at least a three-year long process and he thanked the consultants, Planning Commission for all they did and staff that never get enough credit for the work they do and he thanked them for the work they do to keep our city running as smoothly as possible within the context of the direction they are trying to give them.
Other councilmembers echoed that.

CITY OF PACIFICA
COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
9/26/2022
1 SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Amending the City's Conflict of Interest Code to Revise the List of Designated Employees
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the resolution amending the City of Pacifica Conflict of Interest Code to revise the list of Designated Employees and repealing Resolution No. 50-2020.
STAFF CONTACT:
Sarah Coffey, City Clerk
650-738-7307
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
California Government Code 87306.5 requires that each local agency review and, if necessary, revise its Conflict of Interest Code in even-numbered years. Public officials designated in Government Code section 87200 must file Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700s).
Additionally, pursuant to the City's Conflict of Interest Code, City employees and certain consultants who hold positions that involve making or participating in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on the holder’s financial interests must file Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700s). A Conflict of Interest Code was first approved by Resolution No. 16-79, which has been amended periodically as noted below.
The City is required to review and, if necessary, revise its list of "Designated Employees" when the City creates new positions, revises job titles, eliminates positions or conducts a structural reorganization within City departments.
In order to comply with State law, the City must amend its Conflict of Interest Code to reflect the changes made in job titles and/or positions. Staff has reviewed new positions created and revised job descriptions that have been adopted subsequent to the update to the Conflict of Interest Code in August 2020. Accordingly, staff recommends adoption of a resolution amending the City's Conflict of Interest Code to revise the list of designated employees to reflect current positions. Exhibit A attached to the resolution included with this report reflects these changes, and is intended to supersede and repeal Resolution No. 50-2020, which approved the last Conflict of Interest amendment on August 24, 2020.
With the amendments to the list of Designated Employees (Exhibit A) the City's Conflict of Interest Code accurately reflects those positions that may make or participate in making decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on the holder’s financial interests. 3 Packet Pg. 92
Pacifica City Council 2

Participating in a decision includes negotiating the terms or a contract, writing the specifications of a bid and/or advising or making recommendations to a decision-maker or governing body without significant intervening substantive review.
Notable amendments to the list of Designated Employees based on these criteria and the review of new and revised job classifications include:
• addition of Chief Financial Sustainability Officer (new classification adopted by Resolution No. 65-2020)
• addition of Deputy Finance Director (reclassification of Financial Services Manager adopted by Resolution No. 17-2022)
• removal of Financial Services Manager (due to reclassification to Deputy Finance Director adopted by Resolution No. 17-2022)
• update “Executive Assistant / Deputy City Clerk” to “Deputy City Clerk” (new classification adopted by Resolution No. 44-2022)
• addition of Deputy Director of Planning (new classification adopted by Resolution No. 61-2020)
• amend “Management Analyst II (Planning Department)” to “Management Analyst II” (per classification adjustment adopted by Resolution No. 44-2022) • addition of Engineering Manager - Wastewater (per reclassification adopted by Resolution No. 44-2022)
• addition of Public Works Project Manager (new classification adopted by Resolution No. 64-2021)
• amend “Parks, Beaches & Recreation Director” to “Director of Parks, Beaches & Recreation” (pursuant to the updated classification adopted by Resolution No. 50-2022).

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT

1 SUBJECT:
Report on July 4, 2022 Activities
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept the staff report on July 4th 2022 activities.
STAFF CONTACT:
Bill Glasgo, Police Captain
650-738-7314
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
This report serves as the City’s annual summary report on July 4th activities, compiled and reported to City Council in September of each year.
The July 4th holiday brings visitors and residents alike out to enjoy local festivities and scenic beaches. While a holiday for most, City of Pacifica staff must work to coordinate community events, clean and stock beach facilities, and provide public safety. City departments collaborated this year, as in past years, to assure a safe and enjoyable July 4th holiday for community members and visitors.
Illegal Fireworks
Illegal fireworks have long been a problem not only in Pacifica, but throughout the State. The Police Department continued a campaign in 2022 to educate the community regarding the enforcement efforts and dangers related to illegal fireworks.
In the days leading to the July 4th holiday, Police Department personnel erected a lighted sign board on State Route One with a message reminding citizens that illegal fireworks are not allowed in Pacifica, and of the potential for a $1,000 fine for violations. In addition, posters were distributed within the City educating community members regarding the Illegal Fireworks Social Host Ordinance, with the theme of "Host a Show, Pay the Dough." This information was followed up by press releases issued to local print and web-based media, as well as highlighted in Connect with Pacifica weekly newsletters. In addition, anti-litter posters were distributed to local businesses with the intention of keeping Pacifica clean, not only during the July 4th holiday, but year-round.
Safe and Sane Fireworks
This year, (11) non-profit groups received permits to sell Safe and Sane Fireworks. The groups attended a pre-sales informational event hosted by the Pacifica Police Department and North County Fire Authority. Safe and Sane Fireworks booths were erected and inspected by a Fire Inspector before sales could commence. Safe and Sane Fireworks sales operations were without incident this year as no complaints or calls for service were reported to Police or Fire Departments.

The fireworks sales season ends with mandatory beach clean-up efforts. Hosted by the Pacifica Beach Coalition and assisted by Department of Public Works staff, non-profit groups report to beach locations in Pacifica to assist with clean-up efforts. Each group works at least (10) hours on July 5th, then are required to provide at least (10) additional hours of clean-up on an assigned Saturday in July and August.
The below table indicates the number of hours of clean-up worked by each group. The total hours worked this year was 262 hours. Two groups failed to meet the minimum hours of beach clean-up as outlined in our PMC. The City is currently reviewing its options relating to enforcement of this requirement.

Enforcement
The July 4th holiday this year proved to be another busy day for the Police Department. As has been the long-standing policy, all days off were cancelled, with all sworn police personnel working at some point during the day. Police staffing was augmented by (8) officers total from South San Francisco Police Department, Daly City Police Department, and Burlingame Police Department. In past years, staff has been augmented by up to (10) additional officers. This was not possible this year due to staffing shortages experienced by many local police departments.
There were (2) Police employees working in the police department front office, handling nonemergency telephone calls. This is a change from past practice, and allowed police dispatchers to focus on emergency calls for service and officer radio traffic.
The below table depicts total calls for service and fireworks related calls for service. Statistics are shown for the entire day (July 4th though July 5th at 2:00 AM) as well as for the busiest portion of the day (July 4th 7:00 PM through July 5th at 2:00 AM). The latter is the time period when the Police Department is the busiest, fireworks activity is at the highest, and the number of officers working is the highest.

Overall, illegal firework activity decreased as in years past, as indicated in our call volume table above. Total calls for service throughout the entire day on July 4th decreased by 27% and fireworks only calls (during peak times) decreased 47%.
Safe and Sane Fireworks Sales
Safe and Sane Fireworks sales were robust this year, with the City’s 8% safety fee drawing $41,211 City expenditures for July 4th were largely driven by public safety personnel costs due to increased staffing needed by the Pacifica Police Department and North County Fire Authority. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022

North County Fire Authority
The North County Fire Authority response to July 4th festivities included proactive community outreach, as well as augmented staffing on July 4th. During community outreach, special emphasis was placed on warning the public of the dangers associated with the use of illegal fireworks.
The public was encouraged to attend professional fireworks displays and refrain from using illegal fireworks.
The following is a list of public education and community outreach activities:

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
9/26/2022
1 SUBJECT:
Resolution approving First Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement for consult services in connection with grant funding between the City of Pacifica and the firm California Consulting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement between the City of Pacifica and California Consulting to extend the Agreement for one year at an additional cost of $60,000; and authorize the City Manager to exercise another optional two-year extension.

[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City Council has identified "Fiscal Sustainability" as an FY 2022-23 goal, and earlier this year, California Consulting was selected to assist in providing grant funding services to obtain funding for the City's most critical needs. The City Manager initially executed a six-month Agreement with California Consulting to provide full grant funding services in the City Manager's Office. Compensation for services did not exceed $30,000 within the City Manager's purchasing authority as provided in the City's Administrative Policy No. 76.
The City Manager's Office recognizes the value that California Consulting has delivered for grand funding services in executing the City Council's goal of Fiscal Sustainability. As the largest grant writing firm in California, California Consulting has developed an expertise in representing public agencies, having secured over 1.5 billion for their clients since inception.
With a team of approximately 25 grant writers, they have mastered the skill of identifying, researching, and obtaining funding for significant projects at every level of government.
California Consulting practices a full-service approach to working with its clients, starting with a needs assessment, then bringing grant opportunities to the City for review. The firm provides grant writing and submission services (assisted by City staff), and if grants are awarded, they assist in administering the grant, as well as in post-grant administration work. Taking an active role through the entire process is intended not only to find, win and properly administer grants but also to ensure the client develops a good working relationship with the Grantor and that the Grantor is encouraged to consider the City for future grants.
Upon the expiration of the initial six-month engagement in September 2022, California Consulting provided the City with a most recent progress report, which reflects grants in 5 Packet Pg. 104
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
progress, grants submitted, and grants awarded (Attachment 2). With over $3 million pending grant value and 7 grants submitted and in progress by California Consulting, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution to allow the City Manager to extend the California Consulting agreement for an additional year with not to exceed $60,000 retainer, with an option for the City Manager to renew for two additional years if needed. This extension will provide staff with extra time to evaluate the overall success of this new grant program and allow staff to maximize the consultant’s knowledge, expertise, and connections in obtaining valuable thirdparty grant resources to fund a diverse range of infrastructure and other projects.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may choose not to approve the First Amendment to the Agreement, which would limit the staff’s ability to manage the grant management services if any of the grants presented in Attachment 2 of this report are awarded. Some technical expertise to execute grant services and related resource topics may be beyond staff’s qualifications. The impact of this increased workload would negatively affect staff’s ability to address other daily responsibilities, including priorities on the City Council’s adopted workplan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost of the one-year retainer is $60,000, which includes unlimited grant research and matching, submission, and compliance management services. There are sufficient funds in the FY 2022-23 General Fund Budget to cover this additional cost, but staff may include the corresponding budget amendment during the mid-year budget review if deemed necessary.

COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT

1 SUBJECT:
First Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement for Professional Planning Services Between the City of Pacifica and Consulting Firm Dyett & Bhatia Urban and Regional Planners RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to adopt the attached resolution to approve the First Amendment to the Agreement for Consultant Services between the City of Pacifica and Dyett & Bhatia Urban and Regional Planners, by increasing the contract amount by $132,000 with a total not to exceed amount of $792,000 and, to authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
STAFF CONTACT:
Christian Murdock, AICP, Planning Director
(650) 738-7341
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Planning Department refocused its efforts to comprehensively update the General Plan and Local Coastal Land Use Plan (LCLUP), as well as to create a new Sharp Park Specific Plan, in 2019. To support these three major work items, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a consultant services agreement (CSA) with Dyett & Bhatia Urban and Regional Planners on January 28, 2019. The CSA amount of $660,000 reflected Dyett & Bhatia’s judgment of the anticipated level of effort to complete these three work items, as well as the associated California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, based on its extensive experience performing similar work in jurisdictions across California.
While the City Council adopted the LCLUP update in February 2020, work on the General Plan update and new Sharp Park Specific Plan (SPSP) continued into 2022. Notably, the City received extensive public comments during the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) public review period which required a much greater level of effort to review and respond to comments than anticipated by Dyett & Bhatia in 2019. Moreover, the adoption processes for the General Plan update and SPSP required multiple public hearings that were not anticipated.
On account of the additional work required to comply with CEQA and complete the public hearing process for adoption of the plans, services provided by Dyett & Bhatia exceeded the initial contract amount and requires an amendment to the CSA. The proposed amendment to increase the cost ceiling of the CSA by $132,000 also includes a small amount of additional funding to support the interim rezoning work the City must perform to ensure its zoning map is consistent with the adopted General Plan and SPSP and would extend the term of the CSA through June 30, 2023, to ensure uninterrupted support of the interim zoning process.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No alternative action has been identified.
6 Packet Pg. 123
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
The General Plan update, new SPSP, and CEQA review authorized in the First Amendment would support completion of the following Council-adopted Work Plan initiatives from Fiscal Year 2021-2022:
● Item 10: Complete a Sharp Park Specific Plan.
● Item 11: Complete a comprehensive General Plan update.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City imposes a General Plan maintenance fee on building permits to support the funding of periodic General Plan updates. Since FY 2018-2019 when the original CSA was executed, the City has received more than $43,000 in additional General Plan maintenance fee revenue that will be used to offset the additional costs of the First Amendment. The FY 2022-2023 adopted budget also projects an additional $18,000 in General Plan maintenance fee revenue in the current fiscal year.
Although the approximately $71,000 additional cost of the First Amendment was not included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget, staff anticipates the cost to be covered by the salary savings in the Planning Department resulting from position vacancies and, therefore, is not requesting a budget amendment at this time. Staff will revisit this matter during the mid-year budget review to include any necessary amendment at that time if needed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Christian Murdock, Planning Director, City of Pacifica Re: Amendment #1 - Additional Services for FEIR and Adoption Hearings Date: September 22, 2022
Dear Christian:
Dyett & Bhatia’s scope of work Task 5.C.1 includes preparation of a response to comments received during the public review period, and any necessary revisions to the Draft EIR. The original scope estimated 120 hours of D&B staff time to complete this effort. Task 5D anticipated 2 hearings each for the Planning Commission and City Council.
After a two-week comment period extension, approximately 180 public responses (representing more than 1,200 public comments) were received. At a time estimate of approximately 25 minutes per comment, this represents approximately 500 hours of staff time. This represents a vastly greater volume, complexity, and effort than originally anticipated in the scope. Additionally, the City has requested additional weekly check-in meetings from the period of 3/23/2022 and 8/30/2022, and up to seven (7) additional decisionmaker hearings. The City has also requested GIS assistance with interim zoning work.
This memo summarizes the additional work to be performed by Dyett & Bhatia (D&B) to address this unanticipated volume of work, together with delivery schedule and associated fee.
ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS AND MEETINGS
D&B will perform the following additional tasks:
FEIR comments and hearings
• Complete responses to all CEQA-related public comments in an administrative draft • Incorporate screencheck comments after period of city review for FEIR • Complete redlined version of DEIR
• Participate in weekly project team check-ins with City staff from period of 3/23/2022 to 7/11/2022 (23 meetings)
• Prepare a redline version of the DEIR
• Participate in up to 7 additional decisionmaker meetings beyond the original scope • Prepare redline document of proposed changes for General Plan and Specific Plan Council hearings

SCHEDULE
• An FEIR draft will be completed within two weeks of notice to proceed • We will respond to one round of consolidated comments from City staff on the FEIR draft and deliver a screencheck draft within 7 business days of receipt of City comments • Additional public hearings will occur June-September
FEE
The estimated fee for the additional analysis, screencheck draft response, additional meetings, and interim zoning assistance described above is $132,000. The associated number of hours and fee is attached. This not-to-exceed amount will be billed on a time and materials basis and includes labor for D&B Principal, Senior Planner, Associate, Planner, Planning Assistant, GIS/cartography staff, and administrative/production staff.

CITY OF PACIFICA
COUNCIL AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
9/26/2022
1 SUBJECT:
Third Amendment to Consultant Services Agreement for On-Call Planning Services Between the City of Pacifica and Consulting Firm Good City Company RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to adopt the attached resolution to approve the Third Amendment to the Agreement for Consultant Services between the City of Pacifica and Good City Company, by increasing the contract amount by $100,000 with a total not to exceed amount of $320,000 and, to authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
STAFF CONTACT:
Christian Murdock, AICP, Planning Director
(650) 738-7341
[email protected]
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Planning Department is processing a significant number of routine and complex development project applications submitted for City permits. The Planning Department is also the lead department for several active City Council priority initiatives, including but not limited to the preparation of a Quarry Site Specific Plan, zoning amendments to implement the General Plan update and Sharp Park Specific Plan, and updating the Housing Element of the General Plan. The Planning Department has a key supporting role in many other priority initiatives.
The department currently contracts with two other consulting firms to augment planning staff resources in routine project reviews and CEQA reviews. The cost for these contracts is reimbursed by project applicants. Foreseeing that the projected workload in the Planning Department would exceed available staff resources, and in order to allow Planning staff to continue to implement items identified as City Council priorities, the City Manager recommends the City Council authorize execution of a contract amendment with Good City Company in order to continue work on several long-term planning projects.
Good City Company is also supporting Planning Department staff with the Housing Element update. Good City Company brings unique expertise to this task as it has supported several other jurisdictions in San Mateo County with their Housing Element updates. Good City Company has estimated the cost for it to support the preparation of a draft Housing Element document is $90,000. With the addition of an approximately 10% contingency to this amount, City staff is seeking a contract amendment to increase the cost ceiling for this contract by $100,000 to support work on the Housing Element. The contract amendment would also extend the term of the contract with Good City Company by one year to ensure uninterrupted work on the Housing Element through its date of adoption.
After issuing a Request for Proposals, the City initially engaged Good City Company beginning 7 Packet Pg. 170
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
in October 2020 and the City Manager authorized a consultant services agreement (CSA) with a cost ceiling amount not to exceed $50,000. The City Council authorized the City Manager to execute the First Amendment to the original CSA on November 22, 2021, which increased the cost ceiling by $70,000 and extended the term of the CSA through June 30, 2022. The City Council subsequently authorized the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to the original CSA on June 27, 2022, which increased the cost ceiling by $100,000 and extended the term of the CSA through June 30, 2023.
In light of the significant work and the potentially lengthy timeline associated with the Housing Element update, the City Manager recommends City Council approval of this Third Amendment to increase the cost ceiling by $100,000 and to extend the term of the CSA through June 30, 2024.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Deny, or authorize a different amount for the proposed amendment to the CSA. This may reduce staff’s ability to rely on its consultants to perform project reviews, which could delay the processing of projects. It could also impact the City’s ability to comply with its obligations under state law to update the Housing Element. The impact of this increased workload could also negatively affect staff’s ability to address other general responsibilities, including priorities on the City Council’s adopted Work Plan.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Good City Company’s support of the Housing Element Update is consistent with the following Council-adopted Work Plan initiative:
● Item 10: Prepare an update to the Housing Element of the General Plan.
The other tasks being performed by Good City Company are not directly associated with any of the projects and initiatives on the City Council’s adopted Work Plan, as development proposal processing is a general governmental responsibility of the City as a local public agency.
Indirectly, this CSA will allow in-house staff resources to devote time to Work Plan initiatives and other general matters assigned to the Planning Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fiscal Year 2022-2023 (FY 2022-23) budget allocated $103,449 for the Housing Element update process. The allocated funds include $50,000 from the Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) and $33,449 from the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) grant programs (totaling $83,449). Allocated funds also include $20,000 for community engagement efforts for the Housing Element update. The City Council, during discussion of the Housing Element Update community engagement strategy on August 8, 2022, directed a third community meeting that will result in additional costs that were not included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget.
Good City Company’s proposal to support the Housing Element Update plus contingency would exceed the estimated Housing Element Update costs included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget by $16,551. Although the cost of these services was not included in the FY 2022-23 adopted budget, staff anticipates the cost to be covered by the salary savings in the Planning Department resulting from position vacancies and, therefore, is not requesting a budget amendment at this time. Staff will revisit this matter during the mid-year budget review to include any necessary amendment at that time if needed. 7 Packet Pg. 171

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The fiscal impacts associated with the Anza Pump Station Repair - Gas Service Line Construction and Additional Engineering Services During Construction (C036) will be submitted for reimbursement to the City’s insurance carrier, PLAN JPA.
The Anza Pump Station is a stormwater pump station located just off Linda Mar Beach, west of Cabrillo Highway between Crespi Drive and Linda Mar Boulevard. On March 16, 2020, a fire occurred at the Anza Pump Station causing catastrophic damage. During the fire investigation, the pumps, engines, shafts, and other mechanisms of the pumping system were inspected. The inspection found that the fire resulted in damage to the pump station’s mechanical, electrical, gas meter and appurtenances, control systems, and building roof. Although most of the pumping system (that consists of three pumps and engines plus associated equipment) was 8 Packet Pg. 194
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
damaged by the fire and will need to be replaced, it was determined that that one pump, built in the 1940’s, could be temporarily repaired and run with a rental engine from Herc Rentals and this has allowed the Anza Pump Station to function during storm events. The Herc rental engine is diesel, given that the gas meter and appurtenances were damaged and will need to be replaced. The existing damage to the pump station prohibits proper normal operation and necessary redundancy, which could cause flooding and threaten the safety of persons, property, and critical public infrastructure.
The original gas engines used to drive the stormwater pumps required an inlet gas pressure of 5 pounds per square inch (psi). Natural gas was supplied to the Anza Pump Station via a 1-inch gas service line which connects to the Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) gas main, located in the west lane of the Pacific Highway. Current gas engine technology requires an inlet gas pressure of 15 psi. The City discussed this requirement with PG&E gas engineers. PG&E determined that the existing gas main was not capable of delivering the required gas flow rate at 15 psi.
Furthermore, PG&E determined that a new 2-inch gas service line was required to service Anza Pump Station’s new gas engines.
The City of Pacifica’s Emergency Plan and Section 4-2.01 et seq. of the Pacifica Municipal Code empower the City Manager, acting as the Director of Emergency Services, to proclaim the existence of a local emergency when there is an actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and properties within this City. The Proclamation of Local Emergency was declared on April 8, 2020. The Proclamation has been continued and will continue until the Anza Pump Station is repaired and in working condition.
Additionally, pursuant to Section 3-15.09 (A) of the Pacifica Municipal Code, in cases of an emergency the City Manager is authorized to proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans, specifications, strain sheets, or working details, or giving notice for bids to let contracts. The City complies with Public Contract Code section 22050, which provides a process for City Council’s review of the emergency action if notice of bids to let contracts for public projects will not be given because of the emergency. This allows staff to obtain the necessary equipment to rehabilitate the pump station faster. In this case, the City Manager has determined that the damaged pump station threatens the health and safety of persons and properties, including critical public infrastructure, which requires immediate attention and constitutes an emergency pursuant to Pacifica Municipal Code section 4-2.02 and Public Contract Code section 1102.
The City applied for and received an Emergency Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) related to installation of a new gas service line and third pump and engine at the pump station. The City is in discussion with the Commission on whether permitting is required or not for other fire damaged components of the station. The City’s position is that these should be covered under the current City CCC permitting for maintenance and repair and not require a new CCC Coastal Development Permit, a position that is critical for the City to be able to continue to repair and maintain other City infrastructure in other City areas that have CCC oversight. The City will continue to move forward with Anza Pump Station repairs during these conversations due to the emergency nature of this repair project.
Previous Council Authorizations for the Anza Pump Station The following actions related to the Anza Pump Station were previously approved by Council and occurred at several Council meetings between 2020 and 2022. Costs for these actions are provided under the fiscal section of this report. The actions were as follows:
-Rebuild of damaged pump, purchase of pump and reinstallation -Consultant services for design services for the repair 8 Packet Pg. 195
Pacifica City Council 3
September 26, 2022
-Bathroom repairs
-Purchase of two engines
-Pump Station repair construction
-Purchase of third stormwater pump
-Purchase of third engine
-Consultant services for construction management for the repair Currently Requested Council Authorizations for Anza Pump Station in this Report All construction and purchases related to the Anza Pump Station emergency work are covered under the Emergency Proclamation that is brought to Council at the beginning of each month.
This allows the City Manager, acting as the Emergency Services Manager, to proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans/specifications or giving notice for bids to let contracts. However, in instances where time allows, staff will come to Council prior to authorization as is the case related to the below requests.
New Gas Service Line Construction Services Agreement with Casey Construction Inc.
As discussed, under an Emergency Proclamation, a city can procure services without soliciting bids. However, staff put out an advertisement for bid for the Anza Pump Station Repair Project - New Gas Service Line. New Gas Service Line alignment, sizing, and required materials were developed by PG&E. Furthermore, PG&E has a rigorous qualifications program for the various types of work required for a new gas service line installation. Working closely with the City’s PG&E representative, the necessary PG&E qualifications for gas service line installation were listed in the bid documents, with bidders furnishing letters attesting that they had the requisite qualifications which were required for a responsive bid. As part of all gas service line installation projects, PG&E provides a construction inspector who will observe the new gas service line installation. In addition, PG&E takes responsibility to perform the gas main tapping and install the gas meter and appurtenances.
The City received bids from two (2) PG&E-qualified contractors with Casey Construction, Inc providing the lowest bid shown below:
Company Bid Percent Difference
Casey Construction, Inc $ 185,100.00
MBS Engineering, Inc $ 238,005.60 28%
City Estimate $ 150,000.00 19% (below)
Bids received are higher than the cost estimate received from the design consultant supporting the project. This is a small, yet complex project that has: construction in the Caltrans Right of Way; coordination with PG&E who performs the gas main tap and installs the gas meter and appurtenances; coordination with the Anza Pump Station repair contractor; construction through the City parking lot near the Anza Pump Station; and proximity to the beach. Moreover, material, labor, and fuel costs are escalating; and supply chain disruptions are increasing costs.
Due to the emergency nature of the work, staff recommends authorizing a budget authority for construction in the amount of $222,120, which includes contingencies in an amount not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Construction Contract amount for any unforeseen conditions and the unknown impacts of items listed above. It is anticipated that the new gas service line project construction will commence in October 2022 and be completed in November 2022.
Additional Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) The Anza Pump Station Repair Project is proving to be a challenging project that has required greater than anticipated level of effort associated with equipment and material resubmittals; 8 Packet Pg. 196
Pacifica City Council 4
September 26, 2022
responding to contractor requests for information; coordination with the gas engine supplier; and support for small contractor change orders. Therefore, additional ESDC will be required moving forward with project construction; and will be performed by the project design engineer, Schaaf & Wheeler. Staff recommends approval of Task Order No. 3 with Schaaf & Wheeler Consulting Civil Engineers, Inc. for Additional Engineering Services During Construction (ESDC) in an amount not to exceed $30,000 and to authorize budget authority in the amount of $34,500 which includes a contingency in an amount not to exceed $4,500 or fifteen percent (15%) of the proposed fee. ESDC tasks include reviewing submittals and answering questions, as well as providing technical expertise as issues arise during construction. This will increase total compensation for EDSC under the Master Services Agreement from $105,630 to $135,630 or an additional 33%. For reference, the ESDC budget of $135,630 is approximately 6% of the project construction cost ($2,326,000) which is below the typical percentage range of 8% to 10% for these types of services. All task orders under this Master Services Agreement, which include design and ESDC services would increase from $369,790 to $396,790.
Project funding will be reimbursable by insurance as described below in further detail.
The following schedule is anticipated for the Anza Pump Station Repair Project:
Description Date
Council Approval of to Award Contracts September 2022
Award of Construction/Purchase Agreements October 2022
Construction Start October 2022
Substantial Completion November 2022
Final Completion November/December 2022
Approval of the recommendations will allow staff to move forward with constructing improvements that will result in supplying the new engines the gas pressure that is required; and staff to move forward with the engineering support necessary thereby supporting restoration of the stormwater pump station that will protect the health and safety of persons and properties, including critical public infrastructure. Should the Council approve the recommended actions in this report, the project will be constructed. The City Manager recommends that the City Council approve the construction, equipment, and construction services contracts as discussed in this Council report.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council may choose not to approve this agreement; however, this will result in project delays, possible increase of construction costs and increased possibility of equipment failure at the pump station and could lead to catastrophic flooding events. Staff does not recommend this alternate action.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of the construction contract and supporting agreements is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Stewardship of City Infrastructure and Maintaining a Safe Community: This construction project will help facilitate return of the Anza Pump Station to its pre-fire capacity, conveying storm water flows to the ocean to mitigate potential impacts of flooding including threatening the safety of residents and damaging private property or critical public infrastructure.

1 SUBJECT:
Task Order No. 1 between the City of Pacifica and NCE for Design and Engineering Services related to the FY 2023-24 Pavement Resurfacing Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Task Order No. 1 between the City of Pacifica and NCE for Design and Engineering Services in the amount of $147,000.00 in connection to the FY 2023-24 Pavement Resurfacing Project (Attachment 1); approve budget authority in the amount of $161,700.00 from the Street Construction Fund (Fund 9); and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents related with the project.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Pacifica is responsible for maintaining over 90 centerline miles of street pavement.
In order to complete this street maintenance, the City identifies a budget every year for annual street maintenance projects as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). It is important for the City to complete the annual street maintenance projects each year to prevent Citystreets from falling into more expensive repair categories. One year missed in completing the City’s annual street maintenance projects can escalate the decline of the City’s overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and increase the ongoing cost of maintenance.
On the October 12, 2020 City Council meeting, staff discussed the updated 5-year Street Maintenance Program and the City’s 2019 Budget Options Report. At this meeting, the City Council accepted the updated 5-year Street Maintenance Program with identified streets for rehabilitations. As noted in the October 12, 2020 Council report, the goal of the updated fiveyear Street Maintenance program is to prevent streets from falling into more expensive repair categories. The City’s approved program does this by using slurry seal treatments to keep good streets in the good condition category (which is the least expensive way to maintain streets) and using a stop gap cape seal treatment on suitable residential and collector streets in the poorer condition categories. The cape seal, along with localized pavement repairs, will provide significant protection to the street surface of these poorer condition category streets for a period of seven to ten years preventing further deterioration of the street surface. This will 9 Packet Pg. 271
Pacifica City Council 2
September 26, 2022
allow time for the City to identify other pavement funding sources for street rehabilitation. In addition to slurry seal and cape seal treatments, the program will continue to assign overlay and reconstruction treatments to arterial and some collector streets based on the extent of pavement deterioration and traffic volumes.
Staff worked with a pavement consultant, NCE, to develop the five-year Street Maintenance Program (Attachment 2) for the City’s streets and the several resurfacing projects since the program was developed. NCE is on the City’s on-call consultant list for civil engineering and currently has a Master Consulting Agreement executed with the City (Attachment 3). Due to the condition of the City’s pavement, it is necessary to choose a consultant who is knowledgeable in specialized pavement design and rehabilitation for stop gap pavement treatments. NCE has been working in the Bay Area since 1990 and is highly regarded for their expertise in pavement design and rehabilitation in the area and for their work with the pavement research branch of the Federal Highways Administration. Staff requested NCE to provide a proposal for engineering services for the design of the FY 2023-24 Pavement Resurfacing Project and prepare the construction documents for the project under Task Order No. 1. Attachment 4 is a map of the streets being resurfaced for FY 2023-24. The project will resurface streets generally in the northern part of Pacifica. A portion of Manor Drive and Monterey Road will receive a 2-inch asphalt overlay. Sections of Conchita Rd., Cragmont Ct., Del Mar Ave., Fremont Ave., Glascow Dr., Glencourt Way, Hacienda Ct. Heathcliff Dr., Hibbert Ct., Inverness Dr., Johnson Ave., Lorry Ln., Manor Dr., Milagra Dr., Miller Ave., Monterey Rd., Nelson Ave., Norfolk Dr., Perry Ave., and Vista Mar Ave. will receive a cape seal; sections of Arroyo Dr., Avalon Dr., Edgemar Ave., Lewis Ln., Manor Dr., and Nelson Ave. will receive a receive a slurry seal. Staff reviewed their proposal, and the City Manager recommends approval of Task Order No. 1.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council may choose not to authorize design of the FY 2023-24 Pavement Resurfacing Project.
However, this will result in continued deterioration of the City’s pavement network. Staff does not recommend this alternate action.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
Approval of these actions is consistent with the following Council adopted Goals:
• Stewardship of City Infrastructure: includes repairing/replacing outdated city facilities such as city hall, the libraries, fire stations, etc., improving streets, and responding to sea level rise. Approval of these actions will improve the condition of the City street network.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Task Order No. 1. will provide the engineering services to complete the project. The cost of the Task Order is $147,000.00. City staff recommends including a 10% contingency to the Task Order for any additional work, such as additional field work. The use of the contingency will be reviewed and approved by City staff. The proposed project budget is as follows:
Project Budget
Task Order No. 1 - Engineering Services $ 147,000.00
Contingency (10%) $ 14,700.00
Total Project Cost $ 161,700.00

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND
APPROACH
NCE has had the privilege of working with the City on
its 5-year work plan in 2020 and have completed the
FY 2020/21, FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 pavement
resurfacing project in early 2022. The 5-Year Plan was
developed based on City’s budget, the desire to have
resurfacing projects for each year, grouping and
aggregating by neighborhoods for efficiency of
design, construction (less mobilization), future
maintenance, and to be able to resurface more
streets with a limited pavement resurfacing annual
budget. The City indicated they wanted to utilize cape
seals or double slurry seal with base repairs in lieu of more costly conventional overlays as a stop gap interim measure until additional funding sources can be identified.
Cost-effective cape seal/rubber cape seal/double slurry seal will be considered and applied on residential and collector streets in generally fair to very poor condition and slurry seals will be applied on residential and collector streets in generally fair to good condition in an effort extend pavement life, address moderately cracked pavement, and improve ride quality. In addition, one collector street in generally poor to fair condition is identified for rehabilitation.
The City would like to complete the FY 2023/24 Pavement Resurfacing Project with total construction cost of $1.5 million, including $0.5 million for concrete improvements and $1.5 million for street resurfacing. The resurfacing street list is attached herein and includes the street sections, limits, and other pertinent street attributes. Please note that pavement design, plans, specifications & estimates on Heathcliff Drive (two sections), Inverness Drive, Manor Drive and Monterey Road were completed in FY 2022/23 pavement resurfacing project but not constructed due to City’s budget limitations. NCE will merge those sections into FY 2023/24 resurfacing project. We understand that the City would like to begin design to complete construction documents for bidding in early 2023 and begin construction in Summer 2023. Optional tasks of professional service supports and bicycle/pedestrian improvements on Esplanade Avenue and Palmetto Avenue are also included per City’s request.
Key Assumptions
In order to deliver the most cost-effective design strategy, we have made the following key assumptions:
City’s Responsibilities
NCE has assumed that the City will be able to provide the following to the extent available:
1. Provide information regarding utilities (i.e., water, sanitary sewer, electrical, and storm drain), boundary, right-of-way, and property limits, and existing construction as available.
2. Provide aerial maps for base-mapping information.
3. Provide project requirements, including design objectives, budget, constraints, and criteria.
4. Provide existing technical specifications as the basis for developing new technical specifications.

Page | 2
5. Provide City Standard Provisions and Standard Design Criteria.
6. Provide electronic files of City’s cover sheet template, if preferred.
7. Provide Front End specifications.
8. Provide bike path and pedestrian master plan for reference.
Pavement Testing and Design
1. Pavement design will be based on Caltrans Standards with a combination of coring, pavement condition surveys, laboratory testing of subgrade, and observed field conditions depending on rehabilitation strategy.
2. Pavement coring will be performed with spacing criteria and bulk samples as follows:
a. Pavement cores will be obtained approximately every 1,500 feet and a minimum of two cores per rehabilitation street section. Pavement cores will also be obtained on cape seal streets with lower Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Pavement cores will not be obtained on other cape seal or slurry seal streets.
b. Bulk samples of subgrade for laboratory testing will be limited, and only obtained within areas of observed fatigue cracking and pumping, for which typically up to one bulk sample location has been allocated per street section identified for rehabilitation, as rehabilitation is expected with no reconstruction.
3. Pavement cores on Glasgow Drive, Glencourt Way and Lorry Lane were performed in FY 2022/23 design project. NCE will utilize coring information for design on those sections in FY 2023/24 resurfacing project.
4. Base repairs will be measured in length and width to estimate base repair bid quantities for all street sections. It is the intent that base repair quantities will be for bidding quantity purposes only and that actual locations will be re-marked by NCE with the City’s inspectors prior to construction as an optional task. In addition, a field calibration meeting will be setup to identify the best approach to address fatigue cracking, rutting, more severe longitudinal/transverse and block cracking, and poor ride quality. It might include:
a. Base repair depth (agree on depth and discuss experience of City staff with likely thickness of existing pavement, agree on 3-inch, 4-inch, or 6-inch base repairs). b. Skin patches, spot repair or thin mill and fill (Type III microsurfacing spot repair) to address more severe areas of block and longitudinal, transverse cracking, and/or bad pavement seams. c. Microsurfacing leveling course to address ride quality and localized distortions/irregularities. d. HMA leveling course to address ride quality and localized distortions/irregularities.
5. A no-fee encroachment permit will be pulled with the City for all pavement testing if required.
Topographic Surveying, Base Maps, and Right-of-Way
1. To provide a cost-effective design, NCE’s scope assumes rehabilitation and preventive maintenance plan sheets will be placed onto City and/or County base/aerial base maps. Preventive maintenance (surface seals) and rehabilitation street sections will only include vicinity maps delineating limits of treatment with accurate field inventories for bid quantities and appropriate detail sheets. Plan sheets will include curb and gutter replacement, and base repair schedules only, but will not show individual locations on design plans.

Scope of Work
Revised Date: September 13, 2022
Page | 3
Base repair and curb repairs will be marked in the field on the pavement in white paint and numbered and verified prior to construction.
2. A critical assumption is that all street resurfacing and improvement work will be within City right-of-way, as this has impacts to the level of effort required to completion of design.
3. Design sheet information will be based on field inventories and approximate field measurements to verify items, such as utility covers, cross-slope, street widths and lengths, medians, repair candidates for curb and gutter.
4. Again, to provide cost-effective design, our scope does not include any topographic surveys with the assumption that the project will not include significant drainage improvements, complex changes in street geometry or intersection improvements, or full pavement section reconstruction. Should we determine that aerial base maps are not sufficient and topographic information is required for developing drainage improvements and/or for more complex pavement geometries and/or streets that may need to be reconstructed, we can provide topographic survey work at an additional cost.
Utility Coordination and Location
1. Assumes no significant roadway reconstruction requiring lowering or relocation of utilities.
2. NCE will prepare and distribute utility notification letters to collect facility maps and as-builts, confirm utility planned work, and notify utilities of the City’s utility cut moratorium on improved streets.
3. The subject street sections are expected to be candidates for rehabilitation and preventive maintenance, utility location is currently not included in our scope of work. If significant roadway reconstruction is required, we will discuss with the City utility location options (e.g., GPR) and can provide for additional scope and fee, and striping.
4. Utility covers will be field located approximately and inventoried for the purposes of placing onto plan sheets and developing bid quantities for adjustment of utility covers.
Traffic Striping
1. Traffic striping is assumed to match existing striping.
2. No significant traffic striping changes or design requiring traffic studies or assessment of traffic impacts is planned or included as a part of this scope, except for Manor Drive and Inverness Drive.
3. Striping for Manor Drive and Inverness Drive will be shown on plan only for the intersections where improvements are identified, such as cross walk type change or other traffic engineering improvement items that are identified in field data collection with the City.
4. NCE can provide an additional scope and fee for improvements requiring traffic studies or changes in lane configuration or geometry that require a traffic engineer design.
5. No striping plans will be developed for other rehabilitation or resurfacing street sections.
6. Bike and pedestrian improvement plan on Esplanade Avenue and Palmetto Avenue is separated from annual resurfacing project. More details are included in optional Task 5 below.
Traffic Control Plans
1. Traffic control plans are not included in scope of work. We have assumed as is typical to have contractor prepare traffic control plans in accordance with project technical specifications and requirements and submit to the City traffic engineering group for review.

Scope of Work
Revised Date: September 13, 2022
Page | 4
Curb Ramps
1. It is assumed that all non-compliant curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted (e.g., detectable warning surface embedded in concrete) in accordance with Caltrans standards, which we have estimated to be approximately 35 locations. Curb ramps will be replaced or retrofitted based on guidance from the Department of Justice/Department of Transportation Joint Technical Assistance on the Title II of the ADA Requirements to Provide Curb Ramps when Streets, Roads, or Highways are altered through Resurfacing dated July 8, 2013. For the purposes of developing this scope of work, we have assumed that surface seal streets that will receive slurry seal or double slurry seal applications will not require assessment and/or replacement of curb ramps. Further clarification on curb ramp replacement included in this scope of work is as follows:
a. Replaced/retrofitted/added curb ramps are assumed to be readily constructed with only minor grade adjustments.
b. Utility relocations (e.g. utility poles, utility boxes, and drainage inlets, for example) required to construct curb ramps are not included in this
scope of work.
c. All ramp construction shall be within City ROW.
d. For curb ramps within hills or steepened grades,
curb ramp design shall only extend up to 15 feet
in the uphill direction, beyond which is
considering chasing the grade.
2. Curb ramps will be field verified to determine the appropriate standard case ramp and NCE will develop a curb ramp detail for those that will require a custom curb ramp. Curb ramp details will not be to survey accuracy and not contain elevations, and therefore some adjustments may be required during construction.
3. Curb ramp improvements on Manor Drive were completed by the City in previous projects. Assume no curb ramps will need to be upgraded on Manor Drive in this project.
Drainage
1. The project will, to the extent possible, and within the context of proposed rehabilitation and preventive maintenance, address visible drainage issues or settled curb. However, it should be noted that no topographic survey data will be obtained and therefore drainage improvements will not include detailed flow line surveys.
2. No major drainage improvements are assumed for this project requiring significant stormwater drain and pipe alteration and/or reconstruction.
Curb and Gutter and Sidewalk
1. Curb and gutter sections will only be replaced to the extent that it affects pavement treatment (e.g., tree root uplift or settlement) or to improve drainage.

Encroachment Permit
1. NCE will apply for no-fee City encroachment permits for all field work, including pavement coring work, if required.
Deliverable Package
1. NCE will prepare two separated Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) deliverable packages on concrete repairs and pavement resurfacing, including the striping improvements in the resurfacing package.
The purpose of our services will be to provide pavement and civil engineering design in support of the planned project by the City. To accomplish the stated purpose, we propose the following scope of services.
Project Scope
Task 1 – Project Management & Meetings
1A) Project Kick-off Meeting/Progress Meetings:
NCE’s Project Manager will arrange a Kick-Off Meeting with the City to initiate work on the project. The objectives of the Kick-Off Meeting will be:
Review of the Scope of Work
Establish Lines of Communication
Confirm Deadlines
Establish Project Schedule and Milestones
Define Design and Operation Criteria
Whether a simple preventive maintenance project or a complex reconstruction project, it is critical to establish effective lines of communication with, and coordination amongst, the various stakeholders from the start to ensure the delivery a high quality project within budget and on schedule.
In addition to City staff (Engineering, Maintenance, etc.), NCE will research and coordinate, as-needed, with other agencies such as PG&E, AT&T, North Coast County Water District, Sewer and Stormwater, Schools, etc., to identify any potential conflicts, requirements, or design issues early to help minimize delays (and costs) later in the design process or during construction. At the Kick-Off Meeting, key deliverables for each Task and the Project Schedule would be reviewed and adjusted accordingly to meet City needs.
NCE is very sensitive to construction costs, particularly the volatile price of materials, which have affected the scope of many similar projects. In order to keep the City aware of overall project costs, NCE will begin developing Preliminary Engineering Cost Estimates as soon as we have developed our engineering design recommendations to closely monitor any potential funding issues, which may develop. During the course of the project, NCE will be seeking to develop the most appropriate and cost-effective pavement surface seal alternatives as we completed in FY 2020/21 to FY 2022/23 pavement resurfacing program to stay within the planned project budget and schedule.
Throughout the project, NCE staff will be available to attend regularly scheduled progress meetings with the City (maximum of 2), to maintain good communications for this project to offer up efficiency and reduce the number of design review and coordination meetings. Therefore, we have assumed up to two (2) meetings for FY 2023/24 resurfacing project. The purpose of the progress meetings will be to identify and resolve any design or funding

issues that may surface in a timely manner, present design alternatives and recommendations to City staff, and continue coordination with project stakeholders as necessary.
Deliverables: Kick-off/Progress Meeting Agendas and Minutes 1B) Utility Coordination:
NCE will coordinate with utility agencies early in the design process to help avoid potential construction delays and unnecessary disruptions to public services. Utility coordination will be a critical item to keep utility providers informed about the project and schedule. One of the first and earliest items that NCE will complete is sending notification letters to applicable utility providers with a preliminary project schedule for street rehabilitation and surface seal projects for each year of projects. This will allow for the earlier notification to allow utility providers to perform maintenance on their facilities prior to moratorium on the street paving area.
NCE will also carefully document all utility coordination notifications, conversations, and meetings with utility contacts and information in a matrix format with dates of contacts and mailing detailed in this matrix. Follow-up calls will be made for each of the above notifications to confirm receipt. NCE will also keep the City informed of any project delays related to utilities.
Deliverables: Utility notification letters
Task 2 – Pavement Design
The scope of work we would perform under this task consists of the following:
2A) Pavement and Curb & Gutter Condition Survey:
NCE will perform a pavement condition survey of each street section based on distresses.
The surveys will generally cover the travel and parking lanes. Pavement condition surveys serve the purpose of further refining the appropriate pavement surface treatments.
This condition survey will generally note the presence of load related and environmental distresses, such as alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, rutting, patches and utility cuts, distortions and depressions as they pertain to developing appropriate pavement treatments. In addition, potential base repairs will be identified in the condition survey. Our scope of work and condition surveys do not address issues including but not limited to traffic, safety and road hazards, geometric issues, or shortterm maintenance that should be performed (i.e. pothole that should be repaired).
A visual assessment of all curb and gutters will be included to identify areas where drainage or the adjacent pavement has been compromised. Our scope will limit repair recommendations to only those sections of curb and gutter that are damaged to the extent that they will affect pavement surface seals or cause ponding water or tripping hazard (i.e., tree root damage extending into pavement). If damaged curb and gutter areas are more extensive than anticipated, it may require additional time to complete, and we will notify the City if more time is required to complete these surveys.
Prior to looking at curb and gutter, NCE will meet with the City and establish condition criteria for assessment and replacement. Based on the criteria established with the City, NCE will then determine what level of curb and gutter replacement will be pursued for design plans and documents.

2B) Pavement Coring:
NCE will collect pavement section core samples (4” – 8” diameter cores) on streets identified under key assumptions at locations determined by NCE. All coring locations will be marked with white paint for utility location by Underground Service Alert (USA). Our current fee estimate assumes up to 20 core locations that we estimate will take two (2) day to complete. For each core sample, NCE will measure and record the thickness and material type of each layer encountered in the pavement section, including the presence of any pavement reinforcing fabric.
Bulk samples of subgrade will be obtained at two (2) location on Manor Drive (from Lockhaven Road to Skyline Boulevard) and Monterey Road (from Hickey Boulevard to 600 ft south of Hickey Boulevard) in accordance with stated key assumptions. We will collect bulk samples of subgrade materials at the core locations for laboratory testing such as R-value, moisture content and Atterberg Limits (plasticity index) determinations. Our current fees assume only two bulk samples will be obtained for testing. The thickness of aggregate base (AB) will be measured at the bulk sample location.
The core holes will penetrate through the pavement section, and will then be backfilled with the excavated materials and capped with AC cold patch on asphalt streets. NCE will then compile the coring and laboratory data and append it to its pavement design memorandum. Each core sample will be logged and stored at NCE’s office and retained through the duration of the project including construction before they are disposed. Additionally, NCE will apply for and obtain a no-fee encroachment permit from the City prior to starting the coring and provide traffic control in accordance with the same standards discussed in pavement deflection testing. 2C) Pavement Design Recommendations:
Using the data obtained in Tasks 2A and 2B, NCE will perform pavement analysis and design services, and develop pavement rehabilitation and preventive maintenance recommendations for each street section. NCE will perform its analysis in accordance with the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. NCE will develop pavement structural section recommendations expressed in the form of a Traffic Index (TI) that will be provided by the City. NCE will develop recommendations including, but not limited to, the following:
Conventional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA)
Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
Locations and treatments of failed pavement sections (base repairs) Full-width milling and wedge grinding requirements
Surface seal treatments including but not limited to slurry seals, double slurry seal, microsurfacing, and conventional cape seals.
NCE will then summarize its recommendations in a pavement design tables to the City that, at a minimum, will include street inventory, pavement structure thickness, base repair percentage, recommended treatments, and lab testing results.

NCE will submit the draft pavement design tables to the City for initial review. Upon receipt of any comments from the City, NCE will then prepare its final pavement design tables and submit to the City.
Task 2 Deliverables: Draft & Final Pavement Design Tables.
Task 3 – Plans, Specifications & Estimates
The work that will be performed during developing design PS&E are outlined in the subsequent Tasks. 3A) Design Data Gathering:
NCE will review relevant available data and records from the City as listed in the previous section, public and private utility providers, and other sources that may be appropriate to support the preparation of project contract documents. These may include, but are not limited to, the City drainage structure inventory maps, aerial photographs of the City; as-built street improvement and infrastructure plans, striping, signage, and markings, asbuilt plans from utility providers, including any preliminary plans for future work that may conflict with this project.
The gathered information will be compiled and included in the base map used for design. It shall be noted that available record data (e.g., utilities, right-of-way) used to prepare the base map for streets undergoing rehabilitation will only be shown in their approximate location and that the depth of utilities will not be indicated. Based on our review we will identify any data gaps or missing information and provide this information to the City for review and discussion.
3B) 60% PS&E:
NCE will prepare the 60% PS&E for the planned street rehabilitation and surface seal street sections. The 60% plans for subject street sections will incorporate schematic design elements, localized base repairs (digouts) quantities, striping quantities, striping viewports of the intersections on Manor Drive and Inverness Drive if any striping improvements are identified, curb and gutter repair schedules, and limits of work. On subject street sections to offer the most cost-effective approach, plans will only include vicinity maps delineating limits of treatment with accurate field inventories for bid quantities and appropriate detail sheets with exceptions noted under key assumptions. Plan sheets will include curb and gutter replacement and base repair schedules only, but will not show individual locations on design plans. Base repair and curb repairs will be marked in the field on the pavement in white paint and numbered, and verified prior to construction. Separated striping viewports of the intersections will be developed on Manor Drive and Inverness Drive with crosswalk type change, missing traffic signage or other traffic engineering improvement items to meet current MUTCD standard are identified in field data collection and discussed with the City. Additionally, a table summarizing major work items (e.g. surface seal area, base repair area, etc.) and their estimated quantities will be developed and included on the respective plan sheets. We find that this information is particularly useful to contractors when assembling construction bids and schedules, thus resulting in more competitive bids, and to the City for verifying pay quantities during construction.
NCE understands that the City will provide the “Front End” documents and Special Provisions. The technical specifications will be prepared in MS Word format and will follow the City’s formatting conventions. The technical specifications and details will reference the City’s standard provisions and Caltrans 2018 Standards (including subsequent updates). NCE will, however, recommend deviating from Caltrans standards where, from our experience, such changes will improve the likelihood of achieving a successful construction project without compromising the integrity of the design. NCE recognizes the value of incorporating Caltrans Standard Specifications in projects such as these, both because these specifications have been developed by an agency that designs and

builds a vast amount of highway work, and because most contractors performing public works construction in Northern California are familiar with them. Caltrans, however, has the resources to administer projects quite differently than most local agencies, so NCE advocates modifying the Caltrans Standard Specifications to better fit the abilities, needs, and budgets of municipal agencies.
NCE also believes that an efficient yet thorough Quality Control/Quality Assurance program is essential for getting the maximum value out of every dollar spent on construction. Projects designed by NCE therefore, contain technical specifications that attempt to optimize the balance between using rigid, but time-tested, specifications and meeting local agency needs, with the ultimate goal of obtaining the very best value for its clients.
The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will be prepared in MS Excel format and will be based on the most recent construction cost data available to NCE for projects of this type. Because of NCE’s involvement in the design and construction of numerous similar projects throughout California, we are confident in our ability to estimate the construction cost of the City’s project. This initial estimate will then be updated and refined as the design effort progresses.
It is assumed that the City will require a 5 to 10-day review/comment period once the 60% PS&E package is submitted.
Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 60% plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate. 3C) 90% PS&E:
The 60% PS&E will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City. NCE will meet with the City to review these comments, from which the 90% PS&E will be prepared. NCE will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City. The 90% PS&E will include additional design information and details typically expected at this stage of completion. The 90% PS&E will then be packaged and submitted similar to the 60% PS&E unless directed otherwise.
The technical specifications will be further refined and at this stage of the design. We will review and comment on the City’s Front End documents (bid and contract forms, General Provisions, Special Provisions, etc.), which the City will prepare and provide. The Engineer’s Cost Estimate will also be updated to reflect the revised quantities of work depicted on the plans.
It is assumed that the City will require a 5-day review/comment period once the 90% PS&E package is submitted.
Deliverables: One reproducible copy of 90% plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate. 3D) Final (100%) PS&E:
The 90% PS&E will be revised to incorporate comments received from the City. NCE will again meet with the City to review these comments, from which the final (100%) PS&E will be prepared. NCE will provide a response to each comment that is included in a comment table provided by the City. The final (100%) PS&E will include all notes and details necessary for construction. One reproducible copy of the final (100%) PS&E will then be packaged and submitted similar to the 90% PS&E unless directed otherwise. It is assumed that the City will require a 5-day review/comment period once the final (100%) PS&E package is submitted.
Upon receipt of the City’s final review comments, the project documents will be finalized for bidding purposes.

A final quantity calculation will be tabulated, and this will be entered into the final Engineer’s Cost Estimate for the project. All final documents will be reviewed, stamped and signed by NCE’s registered civil engineer, and the final PS&E will be delivered to the City in both hard copy and electronic formats.
Deliverables: One wet-signed and one electronic file of the final plans, technical specifications, and engineer’s estimate. The electronic files for the final construction plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimate will be in AutoCAD, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel, respectively.
Task 4 – As Needed Professional Services (Optional)
NCE will assist the City with as needed professional services that may include surveying additional curb ramps if needed, marking base repairs with the contractor during construction, advising the City during construction regarding pavement treatments, and other items that may come up during the course of design and construction.
Task 5 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement (Optional)
NCE will provide transportation engineering design services to address bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Esplanade Avenue and Palmetto Avenue. Project scope includes installing 1.4 centerline miles of Class II bike lanes and 0.5 centerline miles of Class III bike routes with additional features to operate as a “bicycle boulevard” along Pacifica’s northern coastal corridor of Esplanade Avenue and Palmetto Avenue. Pedestrian improvements will focus on two intersections at Esplanade Avenue/Manor Dr and Highway 1 On-Ramp at Palmetto Avenue. This optional task includes additional meetings to discuss design details with the City, reviewing existing traffic data or other documents, conducting site visits to document existing lane configuration, street parking, bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossing locations, or other roadway features that may affected by the project improvements, and complete striping sheets with all recommended improvements. Assume no pavement treatment (surface seal or rehabilitation) will be involved in this project. Based on project descriptions and review, NCE will develop up to 12 striping plan sheets that consist of proposed signing and striping improvements. Plan sheets, specifications, and cost estimates will be incorporated with street resurfacing project and submitted for City to review with 60% PS&E, 90% PS&E and Final (100%) PS&E package described in Task 3.
SCHEDULE
NCE will provide a detailed design schedule to achieve delivery of construction documents for bidding in early 2023 once we have a notice to proceed and agreement on the revised scope of work. We will discuss further the level of effort and time to complete construction documents given the significant number of curb ramps that may require replacement and/or retrofit.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The following section provides the relevant background of the project.
A. BACKGROUND
Temporary Safe Parking Program
On March 15, 2021, the American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”), the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County and Disability Rights Advocates filed a class action lawsuit against the City of Pacifica on behalf of the Plaintiffs1 challenging the City’s Oversized Vehicle (“OSV”) Ordinance and its Vehicular Habitation Ordinance.2 On November 8, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 72-2021 approving execution of a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) for the lawsuit and as part of the Settlement Agreement, the City agreed to develop and adopt an on-street, temporary safe parking program (“Program”) and identified the 13 designated parking spots that would be used for the Program, to be jointly administered with Pacifica Resource Center (“PRC”).
On February 28, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12-2022 to approve a threeyear Temporary Safe Parking Program (“Program”) in the City of Pacifica which provides up to 13 parking spaces for exclusive use by Program participants living in an operational recreational vehicle, trailer or motorhome with operating toilet facilities. The Program would allow temporary parking of such vehicles for limited time periods in each of the designated spaces that have been approved by the City Council while Program participants seek permanent housing 1 Named Plaintiffs identified in the Complaint are as follows: Sean Geary, Linda Miles, Jared Carr, Harry Bode, and Stephen Sanders

solutions. The resolution also authorized the City Manager to execute the Operations Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto between the City of Pacifica and the PRC, which details the terms, provisions, and obligations of the PRC and City to implement the Program. The Program was found to be exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 1 and 4 exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15304 and the “CommonSense” exception, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
The City Council also adopted Ordinance No. 873-C.S. (“TSPP Ordinance”) adding a new PMC Section 4-7.1207, which, among other things, specifies various parameters for the use of Regular, Provisional, and Short-Term Permits under the Program and amended PMC Section 5-
2.03 to create an exemption from the City’s 72-hour parking limitation for vehicles displaying either a valid Regular Permit or Provisional Permit under the Program.
Program parking space locations both within and outside of the coastal zone include:

Appeal by North Coast County Water District
On May 26, 2022, North Coast County Water District (hereafter “Appellant” or “District”) timely submitted a City of Pacifica Appeal Form, letter, and applicable fee to the City Clerk’s office to appeal the Planning Commission’s approval of the CDP for the Project (Attachment F). The Appellant cited several reasons for the appeal in the appeal form and attached letter, which are 3 This location is the subject of an ongoing appeal to the California Coastal Commission. 4 Ibid.

summarized and addressed in the August 8, 2022 City Council staff report (Attachment G).
City Council Appeal Hearing – July 11 and August 8, 2022 After duly noticing the public hearing for the appeal to occur during a regular meeting of the City Council on July 11, 2022, staff requested a continuance for the appeal hearing to August 8, 2022, in order to manage the number of items on the City Council’s agenda. The Appellant agreed to the continuance and the City Council granted the continuance to their regular meeting on August 8, 2022.
On August 8, 2022, the City Council opened and closed the public hearing and deliberated on the appeal. During the public hearing, the Appellant argued, among other things, that the issuance of a CDP is in violation of the Coastal Act and that City should not take any action on the appeal given the other CDPs for TSPP parking sites in the coastal zone pending appeals before the California Coastal Commission. Appellant also incorporated the California Coastal Commission staff report into its appeal.
City staff continues to maintain that consideration of any alternative sites is outside of the scope of the appeal. (See Attachment G, Appeal Bases 3 and 6).
Staff also continues to maintain that the CDP for the Project was issued in conformance with the City’s certified Local Coastal Program (“LCP”) as set forth in the Planning Commission’s Resolution No. 2022-012. (See Attachment G, Appeal Basis 1 and Attachment B, Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-012). While Appellant points to the other pending CDP appeals before the California Coastal Commission, the City maintains that those appeals are separate from this appeal and are without merit. Moreover, the City maintains that the Coastal Commission lacks jurisdiction to consider the OSV Ordinance and in any case, the OSV Ordinance is not “development” within the meaning of the Coastal Act. (See Attachment H).
Appellant also argued at the August 8, 2022 hearing that the CEQA exemptions are invalid and that the City unlawfully segmented its issuance of CDPs under CEQA without properly reviewing the Oversized Vehicle Ordinance and the TSPP.
City staff maintains that the CEQA exemptions identified by the City are appropriate (See Attachment G, Appeal Basis 5) and Appellant’s CEQA arguments are without merit.
First, with regard to the Class 1 exemption, Appellant contends that City ROW are not facilities subject to this exemption. However, that contention directly contradicts the language in Section 15301, which identifies existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, etc. and similar facilities, as an example of facilities that are listed and subject to the Class 1 exemption.
Section 15301 also specifies that the types of “existing facilities” itemized are not intended to be an all-inclusive list but rather the key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use. In this case, the Program will only involve a negligible expansion of use of existing City street facilities. Indeed, the Project merely includes reserving 30’ by 10’ of public ROW for the use by participants of the Program for a period of three years. The City is utilizing existing streets for parking of OSVs participating in the Program that will be signed and marked for the Program. The Project site is also currently used for OSV parking up to 72 hours by any individual OSV. Yet the space may be used continuously under existing regulations by any combination of different OSVs provided that no single OSV occupies the space for more than 72 hours. If the CDP is approved, the Project site will continue to be used for parking of OSVs by Program participants while the Program is being conducted. Additionally, Appellant argues that the Class 1 exemption would be inconsistent with the “separate findings that the City is intending to provide low-cost housing by allowing long term parking in these designated areas.” It is unclear what findings the Appellant is referring to as there is no such finding in the Program Ordinance. There is however, a finding in the Planning Commission’s Resolution No. 2022-012 10 Packet Pg. 322
Pacifica City Council 4
September 26, 2022
approving the Project. The Planning Commission found that the Project, among other findings, was in conformance with Coastal Act Policy No. 5, because the “…Program parking space will provide a low cost temporary housing opportunity for Program participants for a limited period of time while participants in the Program seek permanent housing solutions. Therefore, the Project would encourage and provide housing opportunities for persons of low and moderate income.” This finding confirms why the Project conforms with Coastal Act Policy No. 5 and while the Project does encourage and provide housing opportunities to Program participants, the finding itself does not indicate that the City is intending to provide “low-cost housing” through the Program. While it is true that the Program will provide housing opportunities for participants because they will be working with PRC to find long-term housing and be provided a temporary place to park their OSV, the existing use of the public ROW allows for vehicle parking; therefore, the proposed use is a negligible expansion of the existing use.
Second, with regard to the Class 4 exemption, Appellant contends that allowing long-term parking of RVs (or temporary housing) will result in “potential air quality, noise and public services impacts.” The Appellant does not provide any evidence beyond these broad statements to support its contention that there will be impacts to air quality, noise and public services. Appellant also does not appear to consider that the parking sites for the Program are currently used for vehicle parking, including OSV parking. While the Program will make alterations in the condition of land, given that the Program is temporary and the alterations to the land are minor (reserving 30’ by 10’ of existing public ROW, placement of post for signs and markings in ROW), the Class 4 exemption is appropriate as there will be a negligible temporary change of land use will have no permanent effects on the environment.
Third, with regard to the Common Sense exemption, the Appellant argues that because the Program will result in “potential air quality, noise and public services impacts given the likely use of generators and lack of utility connections for each designated location" the Program is not subject to the Common Sense exemption. Again, the Appellant does not provide any evidence beyond these broad statements to support its contention that there will be impacts to air quality, noise and public service nor does the Appellant provide any evidence to support the contention that generators are more likely to be used by Program participants rather than other nonparticipant OSV operators. This exemption provides that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this case, since the parking areas in the right-of-way are being used for the purpose they are originally intended, the Program and Ordinance are not a project that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment and are exempt under the Common Sense exemption (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)). The Program would essentially reserve 13 parking spaces for a temporary period of three years to allow Program participants to park at one of the Program sites for periods of up to 29 days while in the Program. There would also be minor improvements to the Program parking spaces (placement of post for signs and markings in ROW). The Program would also provide other benefits to the Program participants such as trash and recycling collection and black water collection, however, these are services that OSV owners would require regardless of participation in the Program and OSV parking would be available regardless of the Program status. This negligible temporary change of land use will have no permanent effects on the environment.
Fourth, none of the exceptions applicable to the Class 1 and 4 exemption in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines apply, as described below.
• Sec. 15300.2(a): This exception does not apply to the Class 1 exemption.
Furthermore, there is no evidence in the record that the Project would impact an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern in an area designated, precisely mapped, and officially 10 Packet Pg. 323
Pacifica City Council 5
September 26, 2022
adopted pursuant to law by federal, State, or local agencies. • Sec. 15300.2(b): There is no evidence in the record that cumulative projects of the same type would occur within the same place to create a significant cumulative impact. • Sec. 15300.2(c): There is no evidence that the activity would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. • Sec. 15300.2(d) through (f): The Project is not proposed near an officially designated scenic highway, does not involve a current or former hazardous waste site, and, does not affect any historical resources. Therefore, the provisions of subsections (d) through (f) are not applicable to this Project.
Finally, Appellant also contends that City was required to file a Notice of Exemption (“NOE”).
This is not correct. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21152(b), when an agency determines that a project is exempt, it may file a notice of exemption but is not required to make any such filing. (See also California Code of Regulations Section § 15062(a)).
Appellant also argued on August 8, 2022 that it did not receive adequate notice of the TSPP Ordinance. As previously indicated in the Staff Report, the City was not required to provide any notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65091 because the Program Ordinance does not constitute an amendment to the City’s Planning and Zoning Code or the City’s General Plan because the Program Ordinance does not change any allowed land uses. Rather, the TSPP Ordinance was adopted pursuant to Vehicle Code section 22507 and City’s regulations relating to parking are identified in Article 12, “Stopping, Standing and Parking Restricted or Prohibited of Chapter 7, Title 4, including the OSV Ordinance and other available parking permits.
Although the City was not obligated to comply with the notice requirements in Government Code section 65091, there were numerous ways that the City provided notice to the public of the meetings where the TSPP would be considered. (See Attachment G, Appeal Basis 4). Although the City was not required to provide specific notice under Government Code section 65091, there were opportunities for the Appellant to attend and provide public comment on the Program and the Program Ordinance. Appellant’s District Manager even stated during the August 8, 2022 hearing that she does “… get the notice of the Agenda and things and did see the TSPP was on for that agenda…”5 Thus, members of the public, including Appellant, were provided notice of the Program Ordinance prior to adoption.
Ultimately, the City Council did not make a determination relating to the appeal on August 8, 2022 but rather continued the hearing to September 26, 2022, to provide staff time to conduct a feasibility assessment on alternative Program spaces suggested by the Appellant on Appellant’s properties.6 City staff conducted a joint site visit to one of the alternative sites suggested by the Appellant located near the intersection of Skyline Boulevard and Sharp Park Road. Although staff thought the site had sufficient space, there would be significant barriers to using the site for the Program including completion of necessary improvements to property, zoning review, and access/use agreements, among others.
B. CITY COUNCIL’S ROLE
Pursuant to PMC Section 9-4.3208, the Council may approve, deny or modify the Coastal Development Permit, after considering the appeal. In the event that the Council determines that 5 See video recording of the August 8, 2022 City Council meeting: https://youtu.be/apT4a6ZwjvA?t=6745 (2:25:23-30).

10 Packet Pg. 324
Pacifica City Council 6
September 26, 2022
there is substantial evidence in the record to support the Planning Commission’s approval of the Coastal Development Permit, the Council should deny the appeal by adopting the attached Resolution. In the event that the Council decides to uphold the appeal and deny the Project, Council will need to provide staff with the basis for those findings that are supported by substantial evidence which would be inserted into a Resolution upholding the appeal by staff and brought back to Council at a later date.
C. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) REVIEW The City Council approved the Program on February 28, 2022 in Resolution No. 12-2022. The Project is an implementation of the Program. Staff recommends that the City Council find, based on its independent judgment and after consideration of the whole administrative record, that the Project was previously assessed on February 28, 2022 in Resolution No. 12-2022, and therein determined exempt from CEQA pursuant to the Existing Facilities, Minor Alterations to Land, and “Common Sense” exemptions. (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15301, 15304(e), 15061(b)(3).) There have not been any changes to the Program, any changed circumstances, or any new information since the City’s adoption of Resolution No. 12-2022 on February 28, 2022 that warrant any supplemental, subsequent, or additional environmental review of the Program or the Project. Accordingly, Staff recommends that the Council find, based on its independent judgment, after consideration of the whole administrative record, that there has been no change to the Program or substantial changes in circumstances or new information that would warrant subsequent or supplemental environmental analysis or review in accordance with CEQA.
D. STAFF SUMMARY
Staff believes there is substantial evidence to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval as detailed in Attachment G. Staff also believes there is substantial evidence to support the application of Class 1 and 4 CEQA exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15304 and the “Common Sense” exception, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) to the Project. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of the Project.
E. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
The City Council may move to continue the appeal hearing in order to allow staff to prepare a resolution and associated findings to uphold the appeal and deny the Planning Commission approval of the Coastal Development Permit. The City Council may also refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for reconsideration.
RELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND WORK PLAN:
The Project is consistent with the following City Council-adopted goal:
Goals
● “A Healthy and Compassionate Community” includes addressing affordable housing and mental health services, exploring and implementing strategies that relate to homelessness, and supporting community services for all ages.
It is also the City Council’s normal governance process to hear and determine appeals of Planning Commission actions under the Pacifica Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT:

________________________________________________________________________ Initiated by: City of Pacifica (“Applicant”)
WHEREAS, on February 28, 2022, the City of Pacifica City Council adopted Resolution No. 12-2022 to approve a three-year Temporary Safe Parking Program (“Program”) in the City of Pacifica which provides up to 13 parking spaces for Program participants living in an operational recreational vehicle, trailer or motorhome with operating toileting facilities a temporary parking space for a limited period of time while participants try to find permanent housing solutions; and WHEREAS, the Program includes the establishment of one on-street Program parking spaces (total size of 30’ by 10’) on the west side of the Francisco Boulevard public right-of-way (ROW), east of 2400 Francisco Boulevard (APN 016-322-230) and approximately 32 feet north of the Clarendon Road and Francisco Boulevard intersection. Improvements, including installation of two pole signs and pavement markings, will be used to designate the area of public ROW being reserved for the Program parking space (File No. 2022-012) (“Project”); and WHEREAS, the Program was found to be exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Class 1 and 4 exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15304 and the “Common Sense” exception, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3); and WHEREAS, the Project requires approval of a coastal development permit pursuant to Pacifica Municipal Code (PMC) Section 9-4.4303 on the basis that the Project constitutes “development,” as defined in PMC Section 9-4.4302(z)(7), and the Project does not qualify as a category of excluded development; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Pacifica as follows:
A. The above recitals are true and correct and material to this Resolution.
B. In making its findings, the City Council relied upon and hereby incorporates by reference all correspondence, staff reports, and other related materials.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Pacifica does hereby deny the Appeal and upholds the Planning Commission’s Approval on May 16, 2022 of the project, and makes the following findings pertaining to this denial of the Appeal of the Planning Commission’s action:
Basis 1. “The Temporary Safe Parking Program (“Program”) is inconsistent with the City’s adopted Local Coastal Program.”
Response: : The Appellant claims that if the City is unable to meet all applicable Local Coastal Program (“LCP”) policies related to housing, then the only legal option is to move all housing and temporary parking locations outside of the City’s Coastal Zone. This statement is inaccurate and misstates the requirements for the Planning Commission findings required for the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit pursuant to PMC section 9-4.4304(k) as further supplemented by the discussion below. Staff has also found that the Project is consistent with the applicable policies of the Local Coastal Land Use Plan (“LCLUP”).
The Appellant contends that the May 16, 2022 Planning Commission staff report cited Coastal Act Policy Nos. 2 and 5 for purpose of seeking a blanket determination that the Program is consistent with the City’s LCP. This statement is incorrect. As explained in the May 16 Planning Commission staff report the LCP consists of the LCLUP and the Implementation Plan (“IP”). The staff report identifies LCLUP Coastal Act Policy Nos. 2 and 5 as applicable policies as the Project would support both Policies. No regulations in the IP are applicable to the Project.
The Appellant claimsthat if the City should consider the Project as housing then all other applicable housing policies should apply and cites Coastal Act Policy Nos. 23, 25, and portions of 26. The finding to support the Project’s consistency with Coastal Act Policy No. 5 identifies the Project as a temporary housing opportunity because Program participants will be working with PRC to find long-term housing and be provided a temporary place to park their OSV. Staff notes that Coastal Act Policy Nos. 23, 25, and 26 are not specific to housing developments, however staff addresses each of these policies as cited by the Appellant below.
Coastal Act Policy No. 23 states:
10.a

File No. 2022-012
Coastal Development Permit CDP-437-22
Safe Parking Program – Francisco Blvd.
3 New development, except as otherwise provided in this policy, shall be located within, contiguous with, or in close proximity to, existing developed areas able to accommodate it or, where such areas are not able to accommodate it, in other areas with adequate public services and where it will not have significant adverse effects, either individually or cumulatively on coastal resources. In addition, land divisions, other than leases for agricultural uses, outside existing developed areas shall be permitted only where 50 percent of the usable parcels in the area have been developed and the created parcels would be no smaller than the average size of surrounding parcels. Where feasible, new hazardous industrial development shall be located away from existing developed areas. Visitor-serving facilities that cannot feasibly be located in existing developed areas shall be located in existing isolated developments or at selected points of attraction for visitors.
This policy requires that new development is “located within, contiguous with, or in close proximity to, existing developed areas able to accommodate it.” The Project site is an existing developed street. Furthermore, the Project is immediately surrounded by existing developed areas, including the District’s headquarters (2400 Francisco Boulevard, APN 016-322-230) to the west, State Route 1 to the east, and residential uses to the north, and a mix of commercial and residential uses to the south of the Project site along Francisco Boulevard. Because the Project site is located near existing developed areas, the criteria for new development in areas not near existing developed areas does not apply. Regardless, staff notes that the Program, which would support the Project site, requires Participants to have an operational recreational vehicle with operating toilets. The Program will provide Participants with public services such as regular access to water at PRC’s facility, regular access to black and gray water disposal facilities, and regular access to solid waste and recycling facilities. The policy does not define “adequate public services” as utility connections for sewer, water, heating or air conditioning as implied by the Appellant. Finally, the remaining language of Coastal Act Policy No. 23 is not applicable as the Project does not include land divisions, new hazardous industrial development, or visitor-serving facilities.
Coastal Act Policy No. 25 states:
The location and amount of new development should maintain and enhance public access to the coast by:
(a) Facilitating the provision or extension of transit service; (b) Providing commercial facilities within or adjoining residential development, or in other areas that will minimize the use of coastal access roads;
(c) Providing non-automobile circulation within the development; (d) Providing adequate parking facilities or providing substitute means of serving the development with public transportation;
(e) Assuring the potential for public transit for high intensity uses such as high-rise office buildings; and
(f) Assuring that the recreational needs of new residents will not overload nearby coastal recreation areas by correlating the amount of development with local park acquisition and development plans with, the provision of on-site recreational facilities to serve the new development.
The Appellant claims that new housing must enhance public access, using options in the policy, which Appellant believes were not met by the Project. The Project is not at the scale that would necessitate or allow for implementation of many of these enhancements for public access because:
(a) The Project would occur within an existing public right-of-way (“ROW”) and wouldn’t establish a new area that would require an extension of transit service. The Project would simply establish one on-street Program parking space and installation of street markings and signage to the public ROW, thus the Project wouldn’t impact existing public transit service. (b) The Project doesn’t include commercial facilities and the Project site is already in the immediate vicinity of

File No. 2022-012

Safe Parking Program – Francisco Blvd.
4 commercial uses. The Project will also not minimize the use of coastal access roads as the Project is located in the ROW and will not impede any vehicular access to vehicles traveling in the area. (c) The Project site is 30’ by 10’ and would not be large enough to accommodate non-automobile circulation within the development. Additionally, an existing public sidewalk would be maintained immediately west of the Project site. (d) The Project is to provide a parking space and therefore the Project would meet this public access provision by its own design. Additionally, as analyzed in the May 16 Planning Commission staff report, adequate visitor-serving parking is available in the vicinity of the Project. (e) The Project does not include high intensity uses. Additionally, the project wouldn’t impact existing public transit service. (f) At most, the Project would establish a parking space to provide a temporary opportunity for Program participants to park for 30 days at a time in one location. The Program would prioritize existing residents of Pacifica and therefore it is likely the participants would not be new residents. However, even if there are new residents, they will not overload nearby coastal areas as there are only 5 parking spaces in the Program that are in the coastal zone and existing nearby recreational areas, such as Sharp Park Beach, Sharp Park Golf Course, Brighton Park, and other nearby recreational facilities would be adequate to accommodate the participants.
