Council Agenda Report
From: David LaCaro, Public Works Operations Manager
Subject: Approval of Contract to MGE Underground, Inc. for Bolen Drive Sinkhole and Storm Drainpipe Repairs
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. On January 9, 2023, the City of Paso Robles was impacted by a severe storm event that resulted in sustained damage to public and private infrastructure.
2. As a result, on January 12, 2023, the City declared a local State of Emergency due to the potential for storm intensity and risk to public health and safety.
3. Following the January 9, 2023 storm event, City staff responded to a complaint of a sinkhole that was discovered in the backyard of 715 Bolen Drive.
4. Upon investigation, the cause of the sinkhole appears to be the result of a damaged storm drainpipe that runs east to west, along the backyards of nine separate private properties along Bolen Drive.
5. The 36-inch corrugated metal storm drainpipe was installed as part of Tract 68 in 1957. And because this line runs along the backyard of residential properties, the City maintains rights to a 28-foot-wide drainage easement. The purpose of the drainage easement is to maintain the proper function of the drainage infrastructure and all appurtenances associated with the conveyance of water.
6. On March 2, 2023, staff conducted a video investigation of the 36-inch corrugated metal pipe on to better assess the extent of pipe damage. The video footage was recorded for the entire 620 linear feet of the drainpipe. Approximately 100-linear feet of pipe was not documented as the video camera was obstructed.
7. On March 30, 2023, City staff held a mandatory meeting to discuss the project where solicited contractors had the opportunity to review pictures, maps, and video of the project. On April 6, 2023, staff hosted a site visit with contractors to better understand the project details, constraints, and opportunities.
8. A modification of the formal bidding procedure was necessary for this Project given the public safety concerns, and such a modification is permissible pursuant to Section 6.04.150(f) of the Municipal Code when reasonably necessary for the preservation or protection of public peace, health, safety or welfare of persons or property.
9. On May 9, 2023, the City received the following proposals:
Company Bid Amount
MGE Underground, Inc. $297,893
Souza Contracting, Inc. $244,130
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
Options
1. Take no action;
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with MGE Underground, Inc. to implement the sinkhole and storm drainpipe repair in an amount not to exceed $297,893, and to appropriate funds from the General Funds Reserve to cover the cost of this emergency repair; or
3. Direct staff to pursue a different approach.
Analysis and Conclusions
The City of Paso Robles experienced citywide impact from the January 9, 2023 significant storm event.
Among the damage, the City responded to a report of a sinkhole discovered in the backyard at 715 Bolen Drive. The sinkhole appeared to be a result of a damaged 36-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) that runs east to west along the backyards of nine private property homes. Based on visual inspections, staff determined that the bottom of the CMP is rusted and eroded. As a result, soil adjacent to the damaged pipe eroded through the opening in the CMP; thereby creating the sink hole at 715 Bolen Drive. The pipe is required to be fixed to stop further sinkhole erosion and potentially hazardous conditions.
Staff solicited eight local underground contractors to identify the appropriate options to repair the pipe and remedy the sinkhole. A site visit was conducted following a mandatory meeting. The site visit allowed contractors to better understand added complexities (space limitations, limited access) due to the location of the damaged pipe. Staff received proposals from two underground contractors. The two proposals were evaluated and scored as shown in the following decision matrix.
Contractor Project Cost

Property
Owners
Project
Lifespan
Project
Timeline Total Score
MGE
Underground,
Inc.
0 1 1 1 3
Souza
Contractors, Inc. 1 1 0 0 2
Staff reviewed and evaluated the proposal to identify the most effective repair methodology and approach. The proposals were evaluated using the following criteria:
Least Intrusive – Fence damage/removal, vegetation damage/removal, excavation, structure (shed, planters, etc.) removal.
Project Cost – Equipment used, materials required, operators needed, waste disposal. Project Timeline/Schedule - Duration of the project start to finish. Project Lifespan – Selected project option should have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years, or greater.
Based on the selected methodology of installing a Cure-In-Place Pipe (CIPP), which has a 50-year lifespan and is nonintrusive, staff selected MGE Underground to perform the work. In addition, the CIPP methodology is a proven technology and takes very little time to install. Based on staff evaluation, MGE Underground, Inc. provided a superior repair method that is less intrusive to private property owners and will protect a longer segment of CMP for the cost of installation.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
Fiscal Impact
Bolen Drive sinkhole and storm drainpipe repairs are estimated to cost a maximum of $297,893. It is proposed that General Fund Reserves be used for the project repairs. This project was not previously budgeted but is necessary to maintain safe conditions for neighboring private property owners. Staff is actively seeking reimbursement from FEMA for this project, however it is not yet been determined if the project will qualify.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15301, subd. (b).
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with MGE Underground, Inc. to implement the sinkhole and storm drainpipe repair in an amount not to exceed $297,893, for implementation of the Bolen Drive Sinkhole and Storm Drain Pipe Repairs; to appropriate funds from General Fund reserves to cover the cost of this emergency repair; and to authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to make any minor alterations to the contract that are consistent with the Council action.

From: Brian Cowen, City Engineer
Subject: Approval of Amended Reimbursement Agreement for Tract 3069 CEQA Determination: The City Council certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tract 3069 by approving Resolution 16-103. The City finds the amended reimbursement agreement does not constitute a substantial change to the project requiring further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.
Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. Vesting Tentative Tract Map 3069 was approved by the City Council on August 2, 2016.
2. Tract 3069 is an industrial subdivision consisting of 13 large lots with a 134.7-acre remainder parcel.
3. The project is located East of Wisteria Lane, West of Airport Road, and North of State Route 46.
4. The property is accessed at the eastern end of Wisteria Lane, east of Golden Hill Road, and north of State Route 46 East.
5. Tract map approval included conditions of approval requiring recycled water and sewer line oversizing and arterial road construction.
6. Engineering Condition 22 requires the applicant to dedicate right-of-way and install a new two-lane arterial street. The arterial street will be the future new alignment of Airport Road after the construction of the Huer Huero Bridge and Union Road Highway 46 East Overpass. The condition allows a TIF credit/reimbursement agreement because the roadway and facilities are part of the City’s AB1600 Project List.
7. On October 5, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution 21-144, approving Reimbursement and Improvement Agreements for Tract 3069.
8. As an additional condition of approval for the Project, due to deteriorative effects that vehicle traffic is anticipated to have on the roadway, Developer is required to provide road paving that meets a Traffic Index of 8.0; however, due to changed conditions in the Project area and sound engineering judgment, it is now the desire of the City that the road paving meet a Traffic Index of 11.5.
9. Developer is willing to pay the additional cost associated with the Oversized Pavement Improvements, subject to City’s agreement to reimburse Developer for one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of the Oversized Pavement Improvements, not to exceed $294,490, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
10. Developer now requests that the City Amend the Reimbursement Agreement for Tract 3069 to include reimbursement for the Oversized Pavement Improvements.
Options
1. Take no action.
2. Approve the First Amended and Restated Oversized Improvements Reimbursement Agreement for Tract 3069 and authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the City Council.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
3. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Analysis and Conclusions
Pavement Upgrade to 11.5 Traffic Index
As an additional condition of approval for the Project, due to deteriorative effects that vehicle traffic is anticipated to have on the roadway, Developer is required to provide road paving that meets a Traffic Index (“TI”) of 8.0; however, due to changed conditions in the Project area and sound engineering judgment, it is now the desire of the City that the road paving meet a TI of 11.5 (“Oversized Pavement Improvements”).
Developer is willing to pay the additional cost associated with the Oversized Pavement Improvements, subject to City’s agreement to reimburse Developer for one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of the Oversized Pavement Improvements, not to exceed $294,490, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The Oversize Reimbursement Agreement lays out the conditions that must be met by both the City and applicant before a reimbursement can be paid. The agreement conditions include requirements for design, three competitive bids, documentation of costs, controls on change orders and other general City legal agreement language. A reimbursement will only be made once the applicant has provided the City with all required documentation required by the agreement and the line is accepted by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact
The agreement reimburses the developer $294,490 to construct the road condition beyond their project’s impacts. This was known at the time of budget adoption and as a result, the budget appropriations from the Transportation Development Act fund have already been made; no further action is necessary.
CEQA
The City Council certified a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Tract 3069 by approving Resolution 16-103.
The City finds the amended reimbursement agreement does not constitute a substantial change to the project requiring further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, approving the First Amended and Restated Oversized Improvements Reimbursement Agreement and direct the City Manager to sign the agreement on behalf of the Council.

Pavement Upgrade to 11.5 Traffic Index
This First Amended and Restated Oversized Improvements Reimbursement Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of this day of , 2023, by and between the City of Paso Robles, California ("City"), and Justin Vineyards & Winery LLC ("Developer"). City and Developer may be referred to herein individually as "Party" or collectively as "Parties."
RECITALS
A. Developer obtained approval for a tentative map relating to a subdivision of Tract 3069 known as Justin Winery (the "Project");
B. As a condition of approval for the Project, the City required Developer to install certain improvements to mitigate the impacts of the Project; C. The City has requested that the Developer install improvements with capacity greater than that needed to serve only the Project, which improvements will benefit both the Project and the City;
D. Specifically, the Project's demands for recycled water would require the installation of 1483 linear feet of 8" waterline for Phase 1 and 1762 linear feet of 8" waterline for Phase 2, and the City has requested that the Developer instead install 535 linear feet of 16" waterline and 1038 linear feet of 10" waterline for Phase 1 (the "Phase 1 Oversized Waterline") and 1762 linear feet of 10" waterline for Phase 2 (the "Phase 2 Oversized Waterline" and together with the Phase 1 Oversized Waterline, the "Oversized Waterline") based on the City Carollo Plan;
E. Developer is willing to pay for the costs of installing the Phase 1 Oversized Waterline subject to the City's agreement to reimburse Developer for the difference in cost between the 8" waterline and the Phase 1 Oversized Waterline and if Developer elects to complete Phase 2 of the Project, then Developer is willing to pay for the costs of installing the Phase 2 Oversized Waterline subject to the City's agreement to reimburse Developer for the difference in cost between the 8" waterline and the Phase 2 Oversized Waterline, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
F. Additionally, as a condition of approval for the Project, Developer will need to utilize existing City sewer mains to serve the development. City and Developer recognize that the development cannot feasibly utilize the existing sewer mains without construction of 1483 linear feet of 10" sewer force main line in Phase 1 (the Phase 1 Exhibit A
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
82473.03064\41300672.1
Sewer Line"), 1762 linear feet of 10" sewer force main in Phase 2 (the Phase 2 Sewer Line"), and the first phase of a regional sewer lift station in Phase 2 (collectively, the "Sewer Lift Station Facilities");
G. It is the desire of City that the Sewer Lift Station Facilities be constructed in sufficient size, capacity, number, or length to serve adjacent real property that is not part of the development ("Oversized Sewer Lift Station Facilities"); and H. As an additional condition of approval for the Project, due to deteriorative effects that vehicle traffic is anticipated to have on the roadway, Developer is required to provide road paving that meets a Traffic Index (“TI”) of 8.0; however, due to changed conditions in the Project area and sound engineering judgment, it is now the desire of the City that the road paving meet a TI of 11.5 (“Oversized Pavement Improvements”); and
I. Developer is willing to pay for the costs of installing the Phase 1 Sewer Line and, if Developer elects to complete Phase 2 of the Project, the Oversized Sewer Lift Station Facilities, subject to the City's agreement to reimburse Developer for seventy-five percent (75%) of the total cost of the Phase 1 Sewer Line and the Oversized Sewer Life Station Facilities, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and J. Developer is willing to pay the additional cost associated with the Oversized Pavement Improvements, subject to City’s agreement to reimburse Developer for one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of the Oversized Pavement Improvements, not to exceed $294,490.00, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding recitals and the mutual covenants and consideration contained herein, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Parties acknowledge that the above recitals are true and correct, and incorporate those recitals by reference into this Agreement.
2. Reimbursable Improvements. The Oversized Waterline, Oversized Sewer Lift Station Facilities, and Oversized Pavement Improvements subject to this Agreement are shown on Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, except that to the extent that any provision in Exhibit A conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement govern. The Phase 1 Oversized Waterline, the Phase 2 Oversized Waterline, the Phase 1 Sewer Line, the remaining Oversized Sewer Life Station Facilities, and the Oversized Pavement Improvements are referred to collectively herein as the "Reimbursable Improvements" and individually as a "Reimbursable Improvement". The Reimbursable Improvements may be designed, bid, and constructed in two phases, consistent with the phasing plan previously approved by the City for Tract 3069 (referred to herein as "Phase 1" and "Phase 2"). All provisions of this Agreement shall apply separately to Phase 1 and Phase 2. Current estimates of the amounts to be reimbursed to Developer for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are set forth in Exhibit A. Developer may request full reimbursement for a Reimbursable Improvement completed during Phase 1, prior to the initiation of Phase 2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Exhibit A
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
82473.03064\41300672.1
Developer is not obligated to complete Phase 2 of the Project. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the parties' respective rights and obligations regarding the Reimbursable Improvements for Phase 1 and, if Developer proceeds with Phase 2, the Reimbursable Improvements for Phase 2.
3. Design of Reimbursable Improvements.
3.1. Developer shall retain an engineer registered in California to design the Reimbursable Improvements described in Exhibit "A" (the "Engineer"). The Engineer shall have experience designing similar facilities. Developer shall cause Engineer to maintain professional liability insurance with limits of not less than $1,000,000. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such coverage is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When coverage is provided on a "claims made basis," Engineer will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover Engineer for all claims made by City arising out of any errors or omissions of Engineer, or its officers, employees, or agents during the time this Agreement is in effect.

Accordingly, the specifications shall include language referencing Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. and 1770 et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on public works projects. Since the construction of the Reimbursable Improvements is a public work as defined in the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total cost of the work will exceed $1,000 or more, Developer agrees to fully comply with and to require its contractors and consultants to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. In addition, Developer agrees to keep, and require its contractors, subcontractors, and consultants to keep accurate payroll records available for inspection in accordance with all provisions of the Labor Code's Prevailing Wage requirements. Developer shall defend (with counsel reasonable acceptable to the City), indemnify and hold the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any claims, liabilities, costs, penalties, or interest arising out of any failure or alleged failure of the Developer or its contractors, subcontractors, and consultants to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws and implementing regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations, including payroll record retention requirements, in connection with construction of the Reimbursable Improvements identified Exhibit A

4.2. Developer shall, however, be permitted to use the contractor who submitted a higher bid and the difference shall be at the Developer's sole cost and expense. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement, the City's total reimbursement to the Developer for the Reimbursable Improvements shall not exceed one million two hundred thirtyone thousand two hundred and forty-three dollars ($1,231,243.00).
4.3. A City representative shall be present when the bids are opened and shall be given copies of the bids at that time.
4.4. Developer shall enter into a contract with the Contractor selected to perform the described work. Said Contractor must hold all of the appropriate licenses and meet all qualifications and experience requirements to perform the work described in the plans and specifications and to satisfy the requirements including but not limited to, bonding and insurance requirements of the City. Developer shall include experience qualifications acceptable to City in the contract documents. Copies of all contracts associated with the Reimbursable Improvements shall be provided to the City prior to commencement of construction, and as a condition of reimbursement.
4.5. City shall be notified a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours prior to the commencement of construction. All construction of the Reimbursable Improvements shall meet or exceed industry standards, be lien free, and in compliance with the plans and specifications.

Within thirty (30) days of the Developer satisfying such obligations, the City Engineer will use best efforts to cause an item to be added to the City Council agenda relating to acceptance of such Reimbursable Improvement and will make a written recommendation to the City Council to accept such Reimbursable Improvement (an "Acceptance Recommendation"). The City Council shall use best efforts to act upon an Acceptance Recommendation within 30 days from the date of the City Council meeting on which the City Engineer caused an item to be added to the City Council agenda with the Acceptance Recommendation. Acceptance by the City Council shall not constitute waiver of defects by City.
4.7. Developer warrants each Reimbursable Improvement against any defective work or labor done, or defective materials furnished in the performance of this Agreement (the "Warranty") for a period of one (1) year following the date of the City Council meeting on which the City Engineer provides the Acceptance Recommendation to the City Council for such Reimbursable Improvement (the "Warranty Period"). This section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Should any failure of a Reimbursable Improvement, or any parts thereof, occur within the Warranty Period for such Reimbursable Improvement, the City shall have the right to seek correction or cure of the defective situation from Developer if such failure or defect is covered by the Warranty.
5. Acquisition of Right-of-Way. Except as required under Section 66462.5 of the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66462.5), to the extent that City does not already possess sufficient rights-of-way or other interests in land necessary to complete the Reimbursable Improvements, the acquisition of such right-of-way or other appropriate interests in land shall be the sole responsibility of Developer.

The Parties acknowledge that the Maximum Cost is the current Engineer's estimate for the Reimbursable Improvements and that the actual cost for the Reimbursable Improvements may change based upon the construction bids. Once a construction bid has been selected, the Maximum Cost shall be adjusted by the Parties by way of written change order to this Agreement so long as the amount is substantiated by documentation required by Section 6 of this Agreement and does not exceed Fifteen Percent (15%) of the Maximum Cost. In addition, the Parties acknowledge that the costs for the Reimbursable Improvements may increase during the course of construction due to unanticipated conditions, acts of God, or other force majeure events outside the reasonable control of the Developer or its contractor.

From: Darren Nash, City Planner
Subject: Approval of Continued Participation between San Luis Obispo County and the City of Paso Robles for Joint Participation in the Urban County for Purposes of Receiving Federal Funding under Community Development Block Grant Program, the Home Investment Partnership Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program, for Program Years 2024-2026.
CEQA Determination: Participation in the Urban County and cooperation agreement is not a project for purposes of compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s CEQA Guidelines Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. The City has participated in the Urban County Designation process for over 25 years. The Designation allows the City to directly access Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG) Funding for projects and programs that benefit low income areas and households.
2. The City’s current agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo for this designation expires on June 30, 2024.
3. On May 2, 2023, the County requested the City continue its participation in the Urban County Designation for the period of 2024 to 2026. Although the City’s current agreement does not end until next year, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires the requalification process occur the year before the designation status ends.
4. The Urban County Designation partnership includes the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, the County of San Luis Obispo, and Paso Robles.
5. HUD requires that the City of Paso Robles and the County of San Luis Obispo enter into a Cooperation Agreement to define their rights and obligations as a prerequisite of participation in the CDBG program.
6. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement”, the City waives its individual entitlement to CDBG Funds so that the County of San Luis Obispo can participate in the CDBG program as an Urban County. Under the Cooperation Agreement, the City can:
a. Retain the same allotment of CDBG funds it would receive if such waiver had not been granted and retain autonomy over the City’s use of its allotment; b. Gain “non-competitive” access to related federal funds under the HOME and ESG programs, to which the City does not have individual entitlements; c. Obtain a significant amount of staff support from the County for administration of these programs.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
Options
1. It is recommended that the City Council approved the following:
a. Approve the Cooperation Agreement between the County of San Luis Obispo and the City for joint participation in the Community Development Block Grant Program, the Home Investment Partnerships Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program for Fiscal Years 2024-25 through 2026-27. Make findings that the execution of the Agreement is not a project for purposes of compliance with the provisions of CEQA. b. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to act on behalf of the City in connection with the implementation of the Agreement, ongoing operation of the Program for the 2024-2026 term, and other activities necessary to carry out the intent of the Cooperation Agreement.
2. Amend, modify or reject Option A.
3. Refer back to staff for additional analysis.
Analysis and Conclusions
The Urban County Designation is a process whereby certain incorporated cities and a county band together to ensure HUD federal entitlement funding is allocated directly to the region annually. This process allows the region to meet population thresholds to receive direct entitlements under HUD regulations. Absent this arrangement, the City of Paso Robles would not otherwise be eligible for direct access to these funds and would have to engage in a competitive statewide process to access HUD funding. This arrangement also creates administrative efficiencies by designating the County as the lead agency for planning and administering these funds.
Continued participation in the Urban County for the proposed 2024-2026 term is consistent with the General Plan and with City and County policies encouraging cooperation between agencies on issues of regional significance such as affordable housing and public improvements.
Fiscal Impact
The City receives a little more than $200,000 per year from the CDBG program. 20 percent administrative allocation can be claimed to help offset staff time associated with implementing the CDBG program.
Typically, of the 20 percent, the County gets 13 percent, and the city receives 7 percent. Utilizing CDBG funds makes it possible for the City to fund public accessibility improvements and public service funding support that might not otherwise be possible if reliance on General Funds were required.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, for the following actions:
a. Approving an Agreement between the County of San Luis Obispo and the City for joint participation in the Community Development Block Grant Program, the Home Investment Partnership Program, and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program for the 2024-2026 term. b. Authorize the City Manager or his/her designee to act on behalf of the City in connection with the implementation of the agreement, ongoing operation of the CDBG program for the 2024-2026 term, and other activities necessary to carry out the intent of the Cooperation Agreement.

Further, with respect to the availability of the funds, the County agrees to fully cooperate and assist the City in expending such funds. 2) Non-Metropolitan Cities’ Allocation. The County agrees to allocate a portion of CDBG program funds to the non-Metropolitan, incorporated cities participating in the program. The amount of allocation per city shall be equal to that which the Urban County formula award from HUD increases as a result of the HUD allocation formulas as applied by the County, except that an amount equal to thirteen (13) percent of the Non-Metropolitan Cities’ allocations of CDBG funds will be deducted by the County to meet its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and/or HUD requirements for administrative costs.
3) Urban County. Parties shall not recommend a CDBG award of less than $8,000 for any one project or program due to the staff cost of processing such awards in compliance with federal requirements. A project or program recommended to receive an amount less than $8,000 can still receive an award if any other Party or Parties make an award, which is aggregated to be greater than $8,000. 4) Administrative Costs. The County hereby acknowledges the City, as a subrecipient defined in 24 CFR 570.500(c) and its eligibility to incur administrative costs per 24 CFR 570.206, or as otherwise negotiated and approved in the Action Plan for related Planning and Capacity Building costs per 24 CFR Part 570.205. The City shall submit invoices and supporting documentation to the County for reimbursement of eligible administrative costs in accordance with the following schedule:

Administrative funds that are not drawn down following the review and approval by county staff by the deadlines above will be used to reimburse the County’s administrative costs.
B. Availability of Funds. The County agrees to make CDBG funds available to all participating incorporated cities as set out here when HUD makes the CDBG funds available to it. The County shall immediately notify the participating incorporated cities of the availability of the funds.
It is understood by the Parties, hereto, the CDBG funds being used for the purposes of this Agreement are funds furnished to the County, through HUD, pursuant to the provisions of the Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the liability of the County shall be limited to CDBG funds available for the Project. The City understands that the County must wait for release of CDBG funds from HUD before CDBG funds may be advanced or reimbursed. The County shall incur no liability to the City, its officers, agents, employees, suppliers, or contractors for any delay in making any such payments.
C. Public Services Costs. The County agrees that after the availability of CDBG program funds to the City, the County shall not use its remaining balance of funds in any way that would limit the City’s ability to use its CDBG funds to the maximum extent allowed by HUD for public service purposes.
D. Income Generated. The City shall notify the County of any income generated by the expenditure of CDBG funds received by the City. Such program income may be retained by the City subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Act, and its Regulations. Any program income retained must only be used for eligible activities in accordance with all CDBG requirements as they apply.
E. Use of Program Income. The County shall monitor the use of any program income, requiring appropriate record-keeping and reporting by the City as may be needed for this purpose, and shall report the use of such program income to HUD. In the event of close-out or change of status of the City, all program income on hand or received by the City subsequent to the close-out or change of status shall be paid to the County. In the event that the City withdraws from the Urban County to become an entitlement grantee, as provided under 24 CFR 570.504, all program income on hand or received by the City from Urban County activities shall be retained by the City to be used as additional CDBG
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023

funds subject to all applicable requirements governing the use of CDBG funds.
F. Change in Use of Property. The City shall notify the County of any modification or change in the use of real property acquired or improved in whole or in part using CDBG funds that is within the control of the City, from that use planned at the time of acquisition or improvement including disposition. Such notification shall be made within thirty (30) calendar days of such change of use and comply with the provisions of 24 CFR 570.505.
G. Fair Housing Implementation. The Parties agree no Urban County funding shall be allocated or expended for activities in or in support of any cooperating unit of general local government that does not affirmatively further fair housing within its own jurisdiction or that impedes the County’s actions to comply with its fair housing certification.
H. Conflict Resolution. In the event of disagreement between the County and the City as to the allocations, disbursement, use, or reimbursement of CDBG funds, the Parties agree to accept HUD’s written determination as to the appropriate resolution or disposition of funds to the extent HUD is willing to resolve such disagreement.
I. Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act. The City may not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any portion of CDBG funds to another metropolitan city, Urban County, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe, or insular area that directly or indirectly receives CDBG funds in exchange for any other funds, credits, or nonFederal considerations, but must use such funds for activities eligible under Title I of the Act.
J. Special Provisions for the Urban County.
(1) To affirmatively further fair housing and implement the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice or better known as the Fair Housing Plan, the cities are encouraged to contribute CDBG funds to affordable housing projects when there is an eligible CDBG component in the proposal that is located within the City’s or County’s jurisdiction. (2) The County will enforce remedies for noncompliance pursuant to 2 CFR Part 200.338 and allowed per 2 CFR Part 200.207 by pulling CDBG funds for under preforming projects or programs not implemented during agreed timeframe identified in the subrecipient agreement.

The Subrecipient Agreement will set forth the minimum requirements found at 24 CFR 570 and as otherwise required by applicable federal laws. In addition, the agreements will provide project changes, time schedule for completion of the project(s), deliverable checklist, and additional funding sources, if any. If substantial compliance with the completion schedule cannot be met by the City due to unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances, then the County may extend the schedule for project completion, as allowed by federal regulations.

Council Agenda Report
From: Paul Patti, Battalion Chief/Fire Marshal
Subject: Approval of Resolution Confirming the Existence of Weeds or Noxious Growth Creating a Potential Fire Hazard and Ordering their Abatement
CEQA Determination: The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act p
Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. On June 6, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution 23-067,declaring weeds or noxious growth on specific properties within the City to be a nuisance.
2. “Notice to Abate” letters were sent notifying each property owner of the condition and need toabate.
3. The property owners were notified of the public hearing scheduled for June 20, 2023, and invited to show cause why such condition should not be condemned as a nuisance, and why such nuisance should not be abated by the City.
4. Approximately 1070 properties were originally noticed.
5. As of June 1, 2023, 277 properties remain in violation. An update on any further progress will be provided to the Council at the meeting on June 20th.
Options
1. Take no action.
2. Declare a public nuisance relating to weed abatement and order the Fire Chief to abate the weeds and noxious growth on those properties that are non-compliant as of June 20, 2023.
3. Amend or modify the Resolution assubmitted.
4. Provide alternative direction to staff.
Analysis and Conclusions
Through its delegated authority, Fire and Emergency Services works to eliminate community fire hazards created by dry vegetation (weeds). This work includes a public information campaign, letters to property owners found in violation, and administrative cautions.
Fire and Emergency Services has made reasonable attempts to achieve safety regulation compliance for those properties found in Exhibit A. These 277 properties nonetheless remain in violation. Elimination of the hazard necessitates that City Council declare these properties as nuisances, conduct a public hearing, and name the Fire Marshal as the enforcement superintendent prior to directing the work to be done.
Fiscal Impact
None for this action. Cost associated with the City ordered work will be recouped via direct invoice or through a special assessment lien on the negligent properties, if necessary. The charges for each of the unabated properties covers the full cost of the abatement, including administrative costs. The
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
administrative costs incurred by the City for properties that did abate after receiving notice, are not recouped.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (c)(2)-(3), 15378.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 23-XXX, confirming the existence of public nuisances described in Exhibit A and ordering the abatement of weeds or noxious growth to abate the nuisance.

Subject: Public Hearing and Approval of Consumer Price Index Annual Inflationary Adjustments, the Annual Position-Based Adjustments, and Amendments to the Comprehensive Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24
CEQA Determination: The City find that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378
Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. The City charges fees for certain services. These services are deemed to be those for which a particular individual or group is the primary beneficiary, as opposed to the public at large. As a result, it is more equitable to charge for these services rather than fund them out of general taxes.
2. The City is not allowed to charge more than the reasonable cost of providing the service or performing the activity. For some (e.g., youth recreation), the City purposefully charges less than the cost of providing the service in an effort to maintain accessibility and affordability.
3. Fees charged by all departments within the City have been assembled into one comprehensive schedule, to facilitate their adoption and use under this public hearing.
4. The City evaluates the fees included in the comprehensive fee schedule and proposes adjustments as needed, in order to reflect any changes in the costs of providing a particular service. Rather than conduct a full cost of services study each year, which is costly and time intensive, the City bases the updates upon changes in the specific factors related to the individual service (e.g., an increase in passthrough charges from a contractor performing plan check services or inspection services for the City), the actual hourly or overtime rate associated with various positions, or the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Consumer Price Index percentage change for the year ending April 2023 is 4.2% percent.
5. The City’s last full cost of services study was completed in 2005; however, the current year’s budget includes appropriations towards an update to the fee study report. When this study is performed, a detailed assessment of the current fees and actual costs to provide the various services the City offers will be completed in order to determine the adequacy and efficiency of the services provided and the fees assessed.
6. On June 21, 2022, City Council approved Resolution 22-091, allowing for position-based fees added since the 2005 Cost of Service Study to be updated each year based on the applicable hourly rate or overtime rate of the position(s) involved.
7. In addition to the annual CPI and position-based fee adjustments, there are additional proposed fee amendments within Police, Emergency Services, Community Development Building Division, and the newly developed Utilities Department.

Analysis and Conclusions
The City aggregates all charges for service into one Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Attachment No. 1, Exhibit A) due to the fact that charges for services may be adopted through ordinance or resolution.
Typically, fees are assessed and increased annually by the consumer price index (CPI); however, when costs to provide a service increase beyond CPI, it may be necessary to amend the fees. In the event increases or new fees are proposed the City must hold a noticed public hearing prior to the adoption of increases to existing fees or the adoption of new fees. Otherwise, general tax revenue subsidizes these activities. Additionally, due to changes in department operations or community needs, additional fee categories, restructuring of fees, or discontinuation of fees can be necessary. Outlined below is a summary of the proposed charges for services that are either new or discontinued, increasing by more than CPI, or modifications to enhance clarity and match operational needs. Additionally, due to the recent reorganization of Community Services, Public Works, and the newly created Utilities Department, a reorganization of fees was necessary in order to capture applicable fees within their respective departments.
General Government. Due to the department re-organization within Community Services, Public Works, and the newly created Utilities Department, a reorganization of the fee schedule was needed in order to provide clarity and capture fees within their respective departments. In prior years, there was a section for Administrative Services which included two business license fees and many Utility Billing, Water, and Wastewater fees. With the creation of the Utilities Department, it was prudent to house all fees related to utilities in one section, thus resulting in the remaining fees being added to the General Government section of the fee schedule. The same applied to two fees for Public Works and Community Services in regard to fees for equipment use and the hourly rate associated with Community Services and Public Works maintenance staff. These two fees were previously included in a “catch all” section that combined Community Development, Public Works, and Community Services. These two fees have also been moved to the General Government section of the fee schedule to allow the Community Development Planning Division fees to be strictly that.
Police Department. The Police Department is proposing an increase above what CPI allows for one fee, along with the addition of one new fee, both pertaining to the processing and issuance of Concealed Weapons Permits. Historically, the fee for a Concealed Weapons Permit was set at $100 per Section 26190 of the Penal Code, which included the provision that this fee could not exceed $100. In 2019, Assembly
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
Bill (AB) 1297 removed the prohibition on charging more than $100 and as such, staff analyzed the staff time involved with processing the application, issuance, and enforcement of the license, and is recommending an increase of $25 to set the fee at $125. Additionally, Section 26190 allows jurisdictions to charge a renewal fee, not to exceed $25, as well as fee for amending an existing permit pursuant to Section 26215 of the Penal Code, not to exceed $10. Our fee schedule currently includes the renewal fee; however, staff is proposing the addition of the amendment fee in the amount of $10 to help cover the processing costs associated with amending a license.
Emergency Services. The proposed fee amendments for Emergency Services include an amendment to an existing fee in order to add clarification; the discontinuation of a fee due to compliance with the California Fire Code; and the inclusion of a fee that was previously developed but not officially added to the fee schedule at that time.
The first amendment is associated with aircraft refueling vehicles, in which Fire and Emergency Services staff requires two inspections per year. Historically, the fee listed in the fee schedule was the total annual fee for the two inspections. In order to enhance clarity as to what this fee entails, staff is proposing amending the fee description to reflect the verbiage “per inspection/2 per year” and adjust the fee amount to reflect the per inspection charge rather than the total annual charge. This methodology is consistent with how the fee is actually assessed. Currently, staff is collecting half of the fee with the first inspection, with the second half due upon the second inspection. Overall, the fee is not increasing or decreasing above or below what CPI allows, just simply reflecting the per inspection charge. In order to provide additional context, we applied the same methodology to the prior year’s fee amounts as well. By doing this, the year over year change is more transparent.
Additionally, staff is proposing the discontinuation of the fee associated with the annual permit for mobile food preparation vehicles due to the recent updates to the 2022 California Fire Code. Prior code required Emergency Services to perform inspections of all mobile food preparation vehicles, however with the recent code updates, the health and safety aspect of food preparation vehicles will solely be covered by the County Health Department and the inspections that they provide.
Lastly, staff is proposing formally adding the existing business self-inspection fee to the fee schedule. As I mentioned above, the City attempts to capture all charges for services into one comprehensive document for the ease of citizens and staff alike. The current business self-inspection program was developed in 2016 in an effort to maintain compliance during a time where the call volume was exceeding the capacity of the Emergency Service Department and staff could not perform the regularly scheduled annual site inspections. The self-inspection fee is intended to cover staff time associated with processing the selfinspection form. Besides the initial selection and outreach to a qualifying business, each inspection that is returned is reviewed for safety compliance and manually entered into the records management system, taking about 25-30 minutes of staff time to process. At current staff costs, the existing $45 fee does not achieve 100% cost recovery, however, keeping this fee on the lower side encourages business owners of low hazard businesses to take advantage of the program. In comparison, a typical low hazard business would pay between $90 to $493 for a physical engine company inspection depending on their square footage. No increase is being proposed for the self-inspection fee, simply taking the action to formally include it in the comprehensive fee schedule.
Community Services Library Division. Although no fee increases or adjustments are being proposed within the Library Division, there is one operational change that is being recommended in regard to refunds of fees paid for lost or damaged materials. In the past, patrons who paid the fee for lost or damaged items
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
could be eligible for a refund of that fee if the item was located or replaced to the library within three months of paying the initial fee. This option is no longer operationally efficient for the Library as materials are currently checked out for periods of twenty-one (21) days and can be automatically renewed five (5) times, as long as no other patron is waiting for the item. Patrons then receive a courtesy overdue notice at 3, 10, and 17 days past due. There are no overdue fines charged to the patron, per Resolution 19-032.
At 30 days past the final due date, a patron is then billed the applicable replacement fees. At this point, the item has typically been replaced in response to demand. In some cases, the demand for the item has diminished due to the period of time that has lapsed and the unavailability of the item. In this instance, alternative materials are purchased that are more responsive to patron needs and demand.
Community Development Building Division. The Building Division of the Community Development Department is proposing the addition of one new position-based fee. The proposed fee is for stock plans associated with an accessory dwelling unit. This flat fee will streamline the permitting process for duplicative projects and ensure cost recovery for staffing levels that expedite the permitting and inspection of new housing units. This fee is calculated based off the same philosophy as other fees which includes the necessary staff time for review and inspections.
Utilities. As previously mentioned, due to the recent re-organization and newly created Utilities Department, a re-organization of fees within the fee schedule was needed in order to capture fees within the respective departments to provide additional clarity and context to the fees. The majority of the fees listed within the Utilities section of the fee schedule were previously included in the Administrative Services section and simply being proposed to increase by CPI. In addition to the routine CPI adjustments, staff is proposing an increase to a deposit amount, a decrease to a fee, the discontinuation of a fee and the addition of five new fees. The proposed increase is in regard to the hydrant meter deposit. Historically, this deposit has been set at $765. This deposit is meant to cover the cost of replacing or repairing a damaged or non-returned hydrant meter rental. Currently, the costs for a standard hydrant meter are between $1,500-$2,000. Staff is proposing that the deposit be set at $1,500 in order to better reflect the actual costs involved with replacing a hydrant meter. This deposit is also included within the film permit section under General Government and is adjusted according to updates made within the Utilities section so that the deposit amount is consistent throughout.
Additionally, staff is also proposing a new fee and a decrease on an existing fee, both related to hydrant meters. Currently there is no fee to cover the actual costs associated with the setting of a hydrant meter, however there is a hydrant meter relocation fee. The process of setting a new hydrant meter typically takes an hour of staff time while the relocation of a hydrant meter only takes about 30 minutes. Staff is proposing the addition of a hydrant meter set fee equal to one hour at the hourly rate listed for Utilities Maintenance staff, $203, and proposes a decrease to the hydrant meter relocation fee to reflect half of the hydrant meter set fee, $101, to accurately reflect the time and resources needed to perform this function.
Related to hydrant meters, staff is proposing the discontinuation of the monthly hydrant meter rental fee.
This fee is no longer operationally needed as hydrant meters are now assessed a monthly flat fee based on the hydrant meter size. For example, hydrant meters are typically 3” in size. The current flat fee is $58/month and will incrementally increase each year. By January 2027, the monthly flat fee will be $250/month. Additionally, the rental fee was to encourage customers to return the hydrant meter when not in use as there are a limited number of hydrant meters available for rent. The City has mechanisms in place where a hydrant meter could be pulled from a location if not being used so the rental fee is not needed to achieve this purpose.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
The last proposal within the Utilities Department is in regard to water meter fees. Although previously adopted by Resolution 3120 (1986) and Resolution 13-076 (2013), the fees for the installation of water meters have not been included in the comprehensive fee schedule and they have remained constant since their initial adoption. In addition to simply adding these fees to the fee schedule, in response to the recent Council action regarding the advanced metering infrastructure project (AMI), it is important that these fees accurately reflect the cost associated with AMI compatible water meters. The proposed increase allows for water meters that are installed in the future to be compatible with the AMI technology. In order to provide clarity and historical fee information in one place, the previous year’s meter installation fees have been added to the fee schedule.
Public Works Airport Division. Although initial noticing stated that there would be amendments to the Airport Division fees, these specific amendments are being deferred and will be brought before City Council at a later date. Deferring these fee amendments will allow the Airport Commission to review the proposed amendments and provide valuable input prior to the consideration of the City Council.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed fee increases and amendments will have a direct increase in City revenues; however, the increases and amendments to fees are meant to offset the increasing costs to provide appropriate services. Many of the current fees do not achieve full cost recovery due to a variety of reasons, some of which are affordability and accessibility for citizens.
CEQA
The City finds that this action is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to State Guidelines Section State CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15060, subd. (b)(2)-(3), 15378.

Council Agenda Report
From: Katie Banister, Associate Planner
Subject: Peterbilt Truck Dealership development plan and off-site billboard sign CUP – A development plan for the construction of a 25,000 square-foot semi-truck service, parts retailer, and sales dealership; a rezoning to expand the Highway-Oriented Sign overlay district; construction of a new highway-oriented pole sign; and construction of a new billboard sign to replace an existing billboard sign (PD22-02, RZN22-03, CUP22-16, P22- 0017 and CUP23-03, P23-0019).
CEQA Determination: The City prepared Mitigated Negative Declaration SCH 2022090384, which contains mitigation measures that will reduce the environmental impact of the project to a less than significant level
Date: June 20, 2023
Facts
1. An application for Planned Development 22-02, Rezone 22-03, and Conditional Use Permit 22-16 (P22- 0017), was filed by Archer Paso Robles, LLC to construct a 25,000 square-foot building and a highwayoriented sign at 2805 Theatre Drive (see Vicinity Map, Attachment 1).
2. An application for Conditional Use Permit 23-03 was filed by Outfront Media to construct a new offsite billboard sign to replace an existing billboard on the site (P23-0019).
3. The site has a General Plan land use designation of Regional Commercial (RC) and is in the Commercial Highway zoning district with Planned Development zoning overlay (C2-PD).
4. Vehicle sales (of new vehicles and up to 25 percent used vehicles, and including auto service as an accessory use) are an allowed use in the C2 zoning district.
5. Billboard signs are a conditionally allowed use on properties that are “adjacent to the 101 or 46 Corridors” including those “separated by frontage roads.”
6. The purpose and intent of the planned development (PD) district zoning overlay is to provide for innovation and flexibility in the design of residential, commercial and industrial developments.
Approval of a development plan is required for all development in the planned development overlay district.
7. The subject site is 6.6 acres; the project would utilize 4.1 acres and leave 2.5 acres for future development.
8. The Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the design of the Peterbilt project at their meeting on August 8, 2022, and forwarded the project to Planning Commission with a request for images of the existing Peterbilt pole sign (across the freeway on Ramada Drive) illuminated at night, and plans showing how the project will interact with a new mini-storage use proposed on the lot to the west.
9. In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (SCH 2022090384) were prepared for the project and circulated between September 21 and October 11, 2022.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
10. The project was scheduled for a public hearing at the Planning Commission on October 11, 2022. On the day of the hearing, the City received a letter from Outfront Media (see Exhibit E of Resolution A), which owns an existing billboard on the property that was proposed for removal with the project. The letter indicated actions taken by the City that resulted in the removal of the billboard would violate the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution and would be considered a taking requiring just compensation as defined in eminent domain law. The hearing was postponed to a future meeting in order for the City to prepare a response.
11. The Development Review Committee reviewed the design of a replacement billboard sign on April 17, 2023. The Development Review Committee members forwarded the project to the Planning Commission with a request for additional photographs of the existing billboard sign.
12. In compliance with CEQA, the City amended and recirculated Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration SCH 2022090384 between May 12, 2023 and June 2, 2023.
13. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 23, 2023, and considered the facts as presented in the staff report prepared for this project, accepted public testimony regarding the project, and approved four resolutions unanimously recommending the City Council approve the project.
Community Outreach
The following notices for public hearings were produced and distributed three times for the project (for the October 11, 2022 Planning Commission Meeting; the May 23, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting, and this June 20, 2023 City Council meeting):
• Legal advertisement in the San Luis Obispo Tribune Newspaper 10 days before the hearing; • Notice mailed to owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project; • Emails to interested parties in the Rancho Paso neighborhood; and • Site notices posted on the property.
Options
1. Approve the project by the following actions:
a. Adopt Resolution 23-XXX (A) certifying Mitigated Negative Declaration 2022090384 and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring Program; and
b. Introduce for first reading, by title only, Ordinance N.S. XXXX amending the map of the HighwayOriented Sign overlay district to include the subject property; and c. Adopt Resolution 23-XXX (B) approving Development Plan 22-02 for a Peterbilt Sales and Service Center and Conditional Use Permit 22-16 for a highway-oriented sign; and d. Adopt Resolution 23-XXX (C) approving Conditional Use Permit 23-03 for the construction of a new billboard sign.
2. Approve the project with modifications to the listed resolutions and ordinance.
3. Refer the project back to staff or the Planning Commission for additional analysis.
4. Deny the project by adopting findings of denial.
Analysis and Conclusions
The project is the development of a vacant lot at the southern boundary of the City at the intersection of Theatre Drive and Nutwood Circle. The lot was formerly used for manufactured home sales. There is an existing billboard on the site. The project would replace an existing Peterbilt facility at 3030 Ramada Drive across Highway 101 in the County of San Luis Obispo. The project includes:
• 25,000 square-foot building
o Sales: ~13,940 square feet
o Service: ~11,060 square feet
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
• 47 automobile parking spaces
• Outdoor truck sales display
• Truck parking
• Highway-oriented sign
• Replacement of an existing billboard sign with a new billboard sign.
Peterbilt
General Plan Consistency
The project is in the Regional Commercial General Plan land use designation (RC). The purpose of the RC is to “provide for the retail shopping needs of the City and region.” Typical uses in the RC include “general merchandise, department stores, clothing, office supplies and stationary, autos and recreational vehicles, and electronic items, gasoline service stations.” The proposed use is a vehicle sales and repair use, which is consistent with typical uses for the area.
Zoning Ordinance
The site is in the Highway Commercial zoning district with a Planned Development overlay (C2 PD), where new vehicle sales (including auto service as an accessory use) is an allowed use.
The intent and purpose of the Planned Development overlay district include:
Encouragement of creative and higher quality development design through allowed flexibility in project design while providing for essential development standards; Ensuring quality of overall project design, architectural treatment, and appropriate use of color and materials; and
Encouragement of projects that are compatible with surrounding development.
The proposed project follows the standard corporate design for the Peterbilt Corporation and is similar in character to other vehicle-sales uses on Theatre Drive, including both the Kia and Chevrolet dealerships, which utilize metal siding and a similar modern design.
Development Standards
The project meets the development standards of the C2 district including building height, setbacks, and parking.
Nutwood Street Maintenance Agreement
The project is adjacent to and takes access from Nutwood Avenue and private, non-maintained street.
The project is conditioned (planned development plan Conditions of Approval #16) to enter into a street
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
maintenance agreement with the neighboring commercial property owners (Doug Ayres and Andy Brown) prior to the issuance of building permits.
Signage
The project proposes a total of six wall-mounted signs on three sides of the building. Cumulatively, the signs do not exceed the maximum sign area permitted (107 square
feet proposed where 363 square feet are allowed).
In addition, the applicant is proposing a highway-oriented sign. Paso Robles Municipal Code (PRMC) 21.19.030.R.
defines a highway-oriented sign as a “freestanding sign exceeding six feet in height, located on designated
properties . . . near the intersection of State Highway 101 and 46, that identifies tourist-oriented businesses, such as gasoline service stations, restaurants, motels and regional commercial uses and is located on the same property as
the business it identifies.” These signs are conditionally allowed only in the Highway-Oriented Sign overlay
district, as shown hatched in red on the map to the right, which does not currently include the subject property
(outlined in blue). (PRMC 21.19.040.H.)
The applicant has requested the City expand the zoning
overlay district to allow the installation of a highwayoriented sign for Peterbilt. Ordinance XXXX (Attachment 6) would rezone the property to include the HighwayOriented Sign overlay district.
The applicant has provided a proposed design for a
highway-oriented sign to be located at the corner of Theatre Drive and Nutwood Circle. As an alternative, the design for a 6-foot tall monument sign is also included, however, the applicant would prefer to construct the highway-oriented sign.
Paso Robles Municipal Code 21.19.040.H directs the City to:
• “limit the number, height and visual impact of highway-oriented signs when considering the CUP”; • Discourage pole signs “if adequate signage can be provided on the sides of buildings and in the form of monument signs”;
• Strongly encourage “Combining multiple signs onto one single pole”; and • Limit height of highway-oriented sign to the lowest practicable elevation.
The overall height of the proposed highway-oriented sign is 35 feet, with an 8-foot tall, 152 square-foot, oval sign face. In comparison, the highway-oriented sign for the Target Center, which has signage for 7 stores, is 36 feet in height. The vintage sign for the River Lodge is 45 feet in height. The Kia Dealership sign is 28 feet tall. Proposed Mitigation Measure AES-2 would limit the height of the highway-oriented sign for Peterbilt to a maximum of 30 feet in height, which is in keeping with similar signs for auto dealerships on Theatre Drive and would match the height of the reconstructed billboard sign. Mitigation Measure AES-3 would require any future highway-oriented sign for a business developed in the southern portion of the Highway-Oriented Sign Overlay District
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
lot to be collocated on the same sign structure as the sign for Peterbilt to reduce the number of signs and to provide a buffer between a future sign and the residential neighborhood to the south.
There are currently 7 highway-oriented signs in the approximately 4,600 feet of Theatre Drive between Highway 46W and the southern city limit, which is an average of 1 sign every 660 feet. The nearest highway-oriented sign is at Daylight Gardens (2745 Theatre Drive), approximately 230 feet north of where the applicant proposes the Peterbilt pole sign. This is closer than average for highway-oriented signs on Theatre Drive.
The applicant has also provided drawings for a monument sign should the highway-oriented sign not be approved.
Approval of Resolution B (attachment 7) would approve the design of a freestanding sign for Peterbilt.
Alternative Monument Sign Requested Highway-Oriented Sign (Pole Sign) (not to scale)
Existing Billboard reconstruction - conditional use permit There is an existing billboard on the site, which is owned and operated by Outfront Media. The billboard is 22 feet in height with 10 feet of clear space below the sign faces. There are two 12-foot tall, 25-foot wide signs facing north and one 10-foot tall and 40-foot wide sign facing south. The sign predates the annexation of the property into the City in 2002.
Staff originally recommended the billboard sign be removed with the Peterbilt project because it would have impeded the sidewalk to be constructed with the project. The recommendation was also based on 35 feet
requested
(project

height)
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
policies of the General Plan Conservation Element, which identify the full length of Highway 101 as a visual corridor, where “development shall be designed to make a positive visual impression” and “Billboards shall be limited in number.” Action Item 2 of General Plan Land Use Element Policy LU-2B includes “Enhancing views along highways, roads, streets, and rail corridors with landscaping, building setbacks, enhanced architecture and signage/monuments.” Outfront Media has objected to the removal of their billboard and has notified the City they would expect “just compensation under the state’s Outdoor Advertising Act (Bus. & Prof. Code § 5200 et seq.), the state’s Eminent Domain laws, and due to Outfront’s loss of goodwill” should the City cause the sign to be removed (see Exhibit E of Resolution A).
City staff and the Planning Commission are now recommending approval of Conditional Use Permit 23-03 to allow the construction of a new billboard consistent with the requirements of PRMC 21.19.040.D., which include that the billboard shall be:
• Located adjacent to Highway 101 or 46 (or separated by a frontage road only); • Located within a commercial or industrial zoning district; • Also permitted by a Caltrans billboard permit, if required by Caltrans; • Spaced no closer than 1,000 feet from another billboard on the same side of the highway; • Spaced so no more than 3 billboards are located within a one-mile stretch of highway; • No more than 300sf in sign area (per side);
• No taller than 30 feet in height;
• Constructed of metal or similar quality construction materials; • Landscaped at the base;
• Static copy (no electronic reader displays or changeable copy); • Lit by indirect and shielded lighting; and
• Set back at least one foot from the highway for every foot of sign height.
The following mitigation measures would address potential aesthetic impacts of the billboard:
• AES-1 would require shielding of any lights on the billboard, so the light source is not visible from adjacent roadways or properties zoned for residential use. • AES-4 would require landscaping and street trees along the entire property frontage.
Northbound View of the Project with Billboard and Highway-Oriented Signs The proposed billboard would meet all required standards. It would be 30 feet in height with one 300 square foot (10 feet tall by 30 feet wide) sign face facing each direction. Overall, the proposed billboard
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
is taller than the existing sign with reduced sign area than the existing. Draft conditions of approval would require the billboard to be setback 10 feet from the front property line. Approval of Resolution C (Attachment 8) would allow the existing billboard to be replaced.
Landscaping
The proposed landscape plan meets the required depth of landscaping on all property lines but does not provide the required number of shade trees in the parking area. The DRC reviewed the landscape plan and recommended additional shade trees are not required in the parking area. The Planning Commission recommended the landscaping plan be amended to require perimeter landscaping around the drainage swale south of the parking lot. Resolution B now includes condition of approval number 12 requiring this landscaping.
Fencing and Outdoor Storage
The applicant proposes 6-foot tall black metal fencing around the perimeter of the project. Paso Robles Municipal Code 21.20.140 restricts fencing in front yards to 3 feet in height unless the DRC or Planning Commission approve a decorative fence up to 6 feet in height, provided the fence is “constructed in a manner to allow reasonable visibility through it.” The Planning Commission recommends the fence be approved at a 6-foot height because it would be constructed of black metal tubular material and would allow a good deal of visibility through it. Staff has added a condition of approval to prohibit banner signs from being hung from the fence.
Proposed fence materials
Oak Trees
The project includes the removal of three 4-inch diameter oak trees, which fall below the threshold of protected oak trees in the City. All mature oak trees on the site will be preserved with the project.
Noise
The project includes the movement and repair of large diesel trucks in proximity to existing residential uses. A Noise Study was prepared for the project and is included as Attachment 7 to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Exhibit A of Draft Resolution A). The study found there is potential for the project to exceed noise levels allowed by the Noise Ordinance and recommended 4 mitigation measures, which are expected to reduce noise to below maximum allowed levels. Mitigation Measure N-1 would limit hours of operation for the business. Measure N-2 would require service bay doors on the south and west sides of the building to be closed when air hammer equipment is in use. Measure N-3 requires all air hammer and hydraulic lifts to be operated indoors. Measure N-4 would require analysis of any proposed public address system.
City Council Agenda June 20, 2023
Vacant Area Development Potential
The project is proposed on a 6.6-acre lot and would leave approximately 2.5 acres of land undeveloped south of the Peterbilt project. The applicant has indicated the area will likely be used in the future by a separate business, but no specific development plan has been proposed. One of the purposes of the PD overlay district is to require master planning of larger site, so adjacent developments are compatible. The DRC discussed whether a conceptual development plan was needed for the remainder area of the lot, but determined that due to the relatively large size of the vacant area, only a written description of the development potential of that area would be needed. The applicant has provided a narrative describing future potential, which is included as Attachment 4.
Fiscal Impact
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City by approving the project. However, the project is a semi-truck sales and service provider. The sales of trucks and truck parts are subject to the payment of sales tax, which will have a positive impact on the City’s revenues as conditioned with the requirement that all Nutwood Avenue maintenance be the responsibility of the adjoining commercial properties.
CEQA
The project is not eligible for an exemption from CEQA, so an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (MND) (SCH 2022090384) were prepared for the project and circulated between September 21, 2022 and October 11, 2022. The City received four comment letters before the end of that circulation period, which are included as Exhibits B-E of Resolution A. Based on the receipt of new information related to the billboard, the City redrafted and recirculated the MND between May 12 and June 2, 2023 with amended mitigation measures.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council approve the following actions:
a. Adopt Resolution 23-XXX (A) certifying Mitigated Negative Declaration 2022090384 and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring Program; and
b. Introduce for first reading, by title only, Ordinance N.S. XXXX amending the map of the HighwayOriented Sign overlay district to include the subject property; and c. Adopt Resolution 23-XXX (B) approving Development Plan 22-02 for a Peterbilt Sales and Service Center and Conditional Use Permit 22-16 for a highway-oriented sign; and d.

RE: REVISED Project Description for Peterbilt Project at 2805 Theatre Drive; APN 009-851-022; Compliance with Design Guidelines
Proposed Project
Peterbilt is proposing to develop this 6.6-acre site with a service center for semi-trucks, a retail parts department, and a dealership. The site amenities include offices for employees, a lounge area for customers, an outdoor display area, and customer parking. The on-site circulation provides easy and functional maneuvering for semitrucks, delivery trucks, and service trucks.
Compliance with Commercial and Industrial design Guidelines Site Design Guidelines
1. Site Design
Peterbilt building’s architectural style and profile compliments Daylight Garden, KIA Dealership and the Chevrolet Dealership. The proposed building reflects similar front setbacks to allow display areas of merchandise, building height and form, site layout and on-site circulation and parking.
2. Site Landscaping
Water efficient landscaping is proposed for all areas to be landscaped. The proposed landscaping along Nutwood Circle will showcase a variety of trees, shrubs, and groundcovers in various textures and seasonal colors. The side setback along the Nutwood permits tiered landscaping. This adds interest and creates an elegant frontage along Nutwood Circle. Theatre Drive is design with a variety of flowering groundcovers, small and medium flowering shrubs, and ornamental grasses. Walnut Hills Mutual Water Company requested that no street trees be planted along Theatre Drive due to a water main in the street.
The surrounding area’s landscaping is established with trees, shrubs, and grasses that are not native or water wise. Hopefully this project will inspire future projects in the area to comply with the City’s requirements.
3. Parking Areas
The dominant feature on the site will be the Peterbilt building. Since this is a retail sales site for Peterbilt semi-trucks, the front of the site will be used for displaying their inventory. This is similar to the KIA and Chevrolet Dealerships and Daylight Gardens.
Customer parking is located adjacent to the building and employee parking is located towards the back of the site. EV parking spots are incorporated into the site plan.

Loading docks are provide in the rear half of the site and split on both sides of the building to reduce the repetitive design of service doors.
4. Screening
Theatre Drive and Nutwood Circle will be landscaped with trees, shrubs, and groundcovers softening the visual development of the site. The service bay is set back from the front of the building approximately 50 feet and trailer parking is located against the rear property line.
5. Trash Enclosures
The trash enclosure is located in the rear half of the site, in a screened enclosure, and in an area providing easy maneuverability for garbage trucks.
6. Site Development Constraints
The site has no natural amenities to preserve. It is relatively flat; the site is so level it was difficult for the civil engineer to grade it for proper drainage.
Building Design Guidelines
1. General Building Design and Construction Materials
The building fits in with the surrounding developments – Daylight Gardens, KIA Dealership, Chevrolet Dealership, the RV sales lot and the buildings servicing Debt Pro and the small industrial buildings north of this site. However, the Peterbilt building is of superior quality and aesthetics since the building’s façade has pop-outs, banding, a porte cochere, and accent colors.
2. Entry
The building’s entry is oriented towards Theatre Drive - the predominant public view.
This provides an attractive street frontage.
3. Scale and Massing
The scale of the building is compatible with surrounding development. Vertical and horizontal relief is provided by using color, pop-outs, various textured metal siding, tilt up concrete with pigment, tilt up concrete with a stamped pattern, and a porte cochere.
These elements add interest preventing a monotonous repetitive building façade.
4. Roof Design
The roof is not a dominate feature of the building – it is low profile and any mechanical devices required will be screened from public view.
5. Metal/ Concrete Tilt Up Building Design
The building is articulated with pop-outs, banding, textured panels, and colors that are judiciously mixed to present an attractive metal and tilt up concrete building. The entry incorporates a pop-out feature that emphasizes the entrance.

Addendum to Project Description
On August 8, 2022, the Peterbilt project was presented to the City of Paso Robles’ Development Review Committee (DRC). DRC requested additional information on the area of the site that is undeveloped. This information is to show that the undeveloped portion of the site is developable in the future. A graphic representation showing parking areas, building(s), landscaping, is not required since the variables are too numerous.
However, a brief discussion explaining that the lot or area can support a separate development project was requested.
Zoning
This property is zoned C2-PD Commercia Highway, but unlike the properties immediately adjacent to the north of the parcel it is not in the Highway Sign overlay area.
Topography
The site is very level. There are no unusual landforms on the site that need to be preserved; non-native plants and weeds are sporadic on-site Potential Development
The site was previously developed with a modular home sales office and display inventory. The properties to the north are within the City of Paso Robles and zoned C2- PD. The property immediately to the west is zoned C2-PD and beyond the adjacent property is Residential Suburban within the County of San Luis Obispo’s jurisdiction.
Property immediately to the south is zoned CR, commercial retail, and RSF, residential single family, and within the jurisdiction of the County of San Luis Obispo. Immediately east of the property is Highway 101.
The vacant portion of the property could be developed with a variety of uses per Table
21.16.200 of the City’s municipal code. Such uses as an animal hospital, wine tasting room, church, cocktail lounge/bar, urgent center, hotel, financial services, offices, and a general merchandise store are a few of the uses that are either permitted or uses that could be approved with a Conditional Use Permit/Discretionary Permit.
Site Development
The site is 6.6 acres of undeveloped land. The portion of the site that will be undeveloped after the Peterbilt development is constructed is approximately 2.47 acres gross. The frontage along Theatre Drive for the undeveloped portion of the site is approximately 292 feet. Future development could have 242 ft. of frontage with a 50- foot-wide entrance/driveway approach. The long “narrow” undeveloped area measures 108 feet in width and 270 feet in length – approximately 0.67 acres. Subtracting the area for the 20-foot easement, the buildable width is 88 feet. For example, a parking lot with perpendicular parking on both side off an aisle easily fits in this area with a landscaping strip. (Parking stall is 20 feet deep; 2 x 20 = 40 feet; aisle width for two-way traffic lanes is 22 feet; a parking lot total width would be 62 feet which leaves 26 feet available for landscaping or 13-foot landscaping strips on the north and south sides of the vacant area; approximately 50 parking spaces.

The developable area of the site would is limited by the easements, setbacks and the oak trees on the property. There are two oak trees in the undeveloped area and development is not allowed within the critical root zone of each oak. There are easements on the property along Theatre Drive for road widening purposes and a 20- foot-wide strip along the southerly portion of the undeveloped area for public utilities.
The height limit for a development is 50 feet. Since the property is zoned C2-PD, a Planned development can be submitted to request a waiver of any standards if the Planning Commission can make the appropriate findings.
Subdivision of the Parcel
There are no plans currently to subdivide the parcel. However, DRC requested to know the minimum parcel size and if the parcel could be subdivided. According to the City’ municipal code, the minimum parcel size for a C2 parcel is 5,000 sq. ft. The minimum lot width is 50 feet. The property could be subdivided.
Signage
The existing large billboard sign will be removed – approximately 52 feet in length an illuminated at night.
Photo taken at night
The Peterbilt sign is red with white lettering. The Peterbilt sign is entirely illuminated – the letters and the red background. Similar illuminated signs for Daylight Gardens, Chevrolet Dealership, Sky River Park, and Idlers are located along Theatre Drive; all these signs have illuminated backgrounds and lettering.
