17.32.050 AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS.
Affordable housing units constructed pursuant to this chapter must conform to the following requirements:
A. Design. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, affordable housing units shall be integrated within and reasonably dispersed throughout the project and shall be comparable in infrastructure (including sewer, water, and other utilities), construction quality, exterior design, and materials to the market-rate units. Affordable housing units may have different interior finishes and features than market-rate units so long as the interior features are durable, of good quality, and consistent with contemporary standards for new housing as determined by the Community Development Director.
B. Size. All affordable housing units shall reflect the range and numbers of bedrooms provided in the project as a whole, except that affordable housing units need not provide more than four (4) bedrooms.
A. Affordable units shall have the same exterior appearance and quality of construction as the market-rate units. Appliances and finishes in the affordable units shall be the same as in the market rate units with the same number of bedrooms.
B. Size. The size of affordable units shall be the same size as the market rate units in the development. For the purposes of this section, “same size” shall mean that the affordable units shall satisfy all of the following requirements:
1. The number of bedrooms in an affordable units shall be the same as the number of bedrooms in the market rate units. If the market rate units have varied numbers of bedrooms, the distribution of the number of bedrooms in the affordable units shall be the same percentages as in the market rate units.
2. The square footage of an affordable unit shall be no less than ninety percent (90%) of the median square footage of the market rate units with the same number of bedrooms.
3. If the affordable unit is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit, the parcel on which the affordable unit is located shall be no less than ninety percent (90%) of the median square footage of the parcels on which market rate units with the same number of bedrooms are located.
C. Distribution. In a mixed-income development, affordable units shall be dispersed throughout the development. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall an affordable unit be adjacent to more than one other affordable unit (unless the adjacent affordable unit is located on a different floor in a multi-floor building).
Residents of affordable units shall be entitled to use all of the same amenities and facilities of the residential development as residents of market rate units within the residential development.
D .C. Availability. All affordable housing units shall be constructed concurrently with and be made available for qualified occupants at the same time as, or prior to, the market-rate units within the same project unless the city and developer agree in the Affordable Housing Agreement to an alternative schedule for development.
E. D. Affordable Housing Agreement. An Affordable Housing Agreement shall be made a condition of the discretionary planning entitlements for all qualifying projects granted a density bonus, fee subsidy, fee deferral, or design modifications.
The Affordable Housing Agreement shall include an affordable housing plan and shall be reviewed and approved by the City ManagerCity Council.
F. E. Duration of Affordability Requirement. Affordable housing units produced under this chapter must be legally restricted to occupancy by households of the income levels for which the units were designated pursuant to and in conformance with
the requirements of this title, any other applicable city regulation, and state law. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
17.32.060 ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE.
A. Applicant Proposals. If it is not practical to construct on-site affordable housing units, the city will consider alternatives of equal value. Accordingly, the applicant may propose an alternative means of compliance with this chapter by submitting to the city an affordable housing plan. One (1) alternative the applicant may consider is the construction of affordable housing units, subject to the requirements listed below:
1. Off-site construction. All or some of the required affordable housing units may be constructed off-site if the Planning Commission (or City Council on appeal) finds that the combination of location, unit size, unit type, pricing, and timing of availability of the proposed off-site affordable housing units would provide equivalent or greater benefit than would result from providing those affordable housing units on-site as might otherwise be required by this chapter. Prior to the recordation of the final subdivision map for the proposed residential development, the applicant shall post a bond, bank letter of credit, or other security acceptable to the Community Development Director, in the amount equivalent to the cost of land and improvements for the affordable housing units, as determined by the Community Development Director, to be used by the city to meet the goals of providing affordable housing in the city in the event that the off-site affordable housing units are not completed (as evidenced by the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such units) according to the schedule stated in the affordable housing plan submitted by the applicant.
B. Discretion and Required Finding. The approving authority for the project The Planning Commission (or City Council on appeal) may approve, conditionally approve, or reject any alternative proposed by an applicant as part of an affordable housing plan. Any approval or conditional approval must be based on a finding that the purpose of this chapter would be better served by implementation of the proposed alternative, in which the approving authority for the project Planning Commission or City Council should consider the extent to which other factors affect the feasibility of prompt construction of the affordable housing units, such as site design, zoning, infrastructure, clear title, grading, and environmental review. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
17.32.070 AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN PROCESSING.
A. General. The submittal of an affordable housing plan and recordation of an approved city affordable control covenant shall be a precondition on the city approval of any Final Subdivision Map, and no building permit shall be issued for any development to which this chapter applies without full compliance with the requirement of this section. This section shall not apply to exempt projects.
B. Affordable Housing Plan. Every residential development to which this chapter applies shall include an affordable housing plan as part of the application submittal for either development plan approval or subdivision approval. No application for a tentative map, subdivision map, or building permit for a development to which this chapter applies may be deemed completed until an affordable housing plan is submitted to and approved by the Community Development Director as being complete. At any time during the formal development review process, the Community Development Director may require from the applicant additional information reasonably necessary to clarify and supplement the application or determine the consistency of the project's proposed affordable housing plan with the requirements of this chapter.
C. Required Plan Elements. An affordable housing plan must include the following elements or submittal requirements:
1. The number, location, structure (attached, semi-attached, or detached), and size (bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage) of the proposed market-rate and affordable housing units and the basis for calculating the number of affordable housing units.
2. A floor or site plan depicting the location of the affordable housing units and the market-rate units.
3. The income levels to which each affordable housing unit will be made affordable.
4. The term of affordability for the affordable housing units.
5. The methods to be used to advertise the availability of the affordable housing units and the procedures for qualifying and selecting the eligible purchasers and/or tenants, including preference to be given, if any, to applicants who live or work in the city.
6. A schedule for completion and occupancy of the affordable housing units. For phased development, a phasing plan that provides for the timely development of the number of affordable housing units proportionate to each proposed phase of development.
7. A description of any incentives or modifications as listed in Section17.32.040 (Incentives for On-Site Housing) including a description of exceptional circumstances that necessitate assistance from the city, as well as documentation of how such incentives increase the feasibility of providing affordable housing.
8. Any alternative means, as designated in Section17.32.060.A, proposed for the development along with information necessary to support the findings required by Section 17.32.060.B for approval of such alternatives.
9. Except when prohibited by state or federal law, the plan shall require that preference shall be given to households that live or work in Pinole when selling or leasing affordable units within a development.
10.9. Any other information reasonably requested by the Community Development Director to assist with evaluation of the affordable housing plan under the requirements of this chapter.
D. Affordability Control Covenants. Prior to issuance of a grading permit or building permit, whichever is requested first, a standard City affordability control covenant must be approved and executed by the Community Development Director, executed by the applicant/owners, and recorded against the title of each affordable housing unit. If subdivision into individual property parcels has not been finalized at the time of issuance of a grading permit or building permit, an overall interim affordability control covenant shall be recorded against the residential development and shall be replaced by separate recorded affordability control covenants for each unit prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the city for such units.
The affordability control covenants must identify any incentives, modifications, or terms of any fee waiver, as permitted pursuant to Chapter 17.38 (Density Bonus), approved by the city. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
17.32.080 ELIGIBILITY.
A. General Eligibility for Affordable Housing Units. No household may purchase, rent, or occupy an affordable housing unit unless the city has approved the household's eligibility, and the household and city have executed and recorded an affordability control covenant in the chain of title of the affordable housing unit. Such affordability control covenant is in addition to the covenant required in Section 17.32.070.D.
B. Owner Occupancy. A household which purchases an affordable housing unit must occupy that unit as a principal residence, as that term is defined for federal tax purposes by the United States Internal Revenue Code. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
17.32.090 ADJUSTMENTS.
A. Adjustments. The requirements of this chapter may be adjusted to propose an alternative method of compliance with the chapter in accordance with Section 17.32.060 (Alternative Methods of Compliance) by the city if the applicant demonstrates to the approving authority of the project Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) that applying the requirement of this chapter would be contrary to the requirements of the laws or the constitutions of the United States or California.
B. Timing of Waiver Request. To receive an adjustment or waiver, the applicant must make an initial request of the approving authority of the project Planning Commission for such an adjustment or waiver and provide an appropriate demonstration of the appropriateness of the adjustment or waiver required for when first applying to the Planning Commission for the review and approval of the proposed development plan or subdivision review as such review and approval is required by the City of Pinole Municipal Code.
C. Waiver and Adjustment Considerations. In making a determination on an application to adjust or waive the requirements of this chapter, the approving authority of the project Planning Commission (or City Council on appeal) may assume each of the following when applicable:
1. That the applicant is subject to the affordable housing requirements of Chapter 17.32 (Affordable Housing Requirements);
2. The extent to which the applicant will benefit from affordable housing incentives under Section 17.32.040 (Incentives for On-Site Housing); and
3. That the applicant will be obligated to provide the most economical affordable housing units feasible in terms of construction, design, location, and tenure, and subject to the requirements of Chapter 17.32 (Affordable Housing Requirements). (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
17.32.100 SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this section or its application to any property is held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, invalidity shall not affect other provisions in this section that may be implemented without the invalid sections. To this end, the provisions and clauses of this section are declared severable. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)

17.48.060 REDUCTIONS IN PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
The required number of parking spaces may be reduced in accordance with the following requirements.
A. Shared Parking. In order to encourage efficient use of parking spaces and good design practices, the total parking requirements for conjunctive uses shall be based on the number of spaces adequate to meet various needs of the individual uses operating during the peak parking period.
1. Use permit for shared parking. An Administrative Use Permit A use permit may be approved for shared parking facilities serving more than one (1) use on a site or serving more than one (1) property. The Administrative Use Permituse permit may allow for a reduction of the total number of spaces required by this chapter if the following findings are made:
a. The peak hours of parking demand from all uses do not coincide so that peak demand will not be greater than the parking provided;
b. The efficiency of parking provided will equal or exceed the level that can be expected if parking for each use were provided separately.
2. Shared parking agreement. A written agreement between the landowners and in some cases the city that runs with the land shall be filed, in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney, and include:
a. A guarantee that there will be no substantial alteration in the uses that will create a greater demand for parking without application for approval of an amended use permit; b. A reciprocal grant of nonexclusive license among the business operator(s) and the landowner(s) for access to and use of the shared parking facilities; and
c. Evidence that the agreement has been recorded in the County Recorder's office.
B. Other Parking Reductions. Required parking for any use except a single-family dwelling, accessory dwelling unit, or two (2)-family dwelling may be reduced through approval of an Administrative Use Permita use permit by the Planning Commission.
1. Criteria for approval. An Administrative Use Permit The Planning Commission will only grant a conditional use permit for reduced parking may be approved if it finds that the project meets all of the findings for an Administrative Use Permit in Section 17.12.060 (Administrative Use Permit) and conditional use permit criteria in Section 17.12.140 (Conditional Use Permits) and that three (3) or more of the circumstances listed below are true. a. The use will be adequately served by the proposed parking due to the nature of the proposed operation; proximity to frequent transit service; transportation characteristics of persons residing, working, or visiting the site; or because the applicant has undertaken a travel demand management program that will reduce parking demand at the site. b. Parking demand generated by the project will not exceed the capacity of or have a detrimental impact on the supply of on-street parking in the surrounding area.
c. The site plan is consistent with the objectives of the zoning district and incorporates features such as unobtrusive off-street parking placed below the ground level of the project with commercial uses above or enclosed parking on the ground floor.
d. The applicant has provided on-site parking for car share vehicles via a recorded written agreement between the landowner and the city that runs with the land. Agreement shall provide for proof of a perpetual agreement with a car share agency to provide at least one (1) car share vehicle on-site.
2. Application submittal requirements. In order to evaluate a proposed project's compliance with the above criteria, the Zoning Administrator may require submittal of a parking demand study that substantiates the basis for granting a reduced number of spaces.

17.48.070 SPECIAL PARKING STANDARDS FOR OLD TOWN.
A. Purpose. Special parking standards are established for the Old Town area for the following primary purposes:
1. Spur growth in the core of old town by not requiring uses to provide more parking spaces than presently exist in the core;
2. Manage the growth of old town by limiting the number of businesses, offices, lodges, clubs and associations in the core of old town which may generate traffic or parking demands in excess of commercial, office and public assembly parking availability, causing the overflow of traffic and parking to spill over onto adjacent residential streets;
3. Manage traffic circulation and parking capacity by periodically assessing parking capacity in the core of old town;
4. Manage traffic circulation and parking by requiring reciprocal easement agreements between new parking lots and adjacent properties zoned for public facility, commercial, office or mixed use on which new parking lots can potentially be developed. The provision of reciprocal easements is intended to reduce street traffic and the number of on-street parking spaces used by allowing customers to find a space in an adjacent parking lot which may not be full.
B. Applicability. For the purposes of these zoning regulations, the Old Town boundaries are defined by the northern side of Park Street, the eastern side of John Street, the southern side of Plum Street, and the western side of Oak Ridge Road.
C. Special Parking Requirements for Non-Residential Uses. Generally, non-residential uses in the designated Old Town area are exempt from the parking requirements outlined in Table 17.48.050-1 (Parking Requirements by Land Use).
However, new non-residential uses and non-residential uses that propose to expand by fifty percent (50%) or more, which would result in a parking demand of thirty (30%) or more spaces, may be subject to parking requirements if required criteria are met through a subsequent parking capacity assessment outlined herein.
D. Parking Capacity Assessment. In order to provide development opportunity and adequate parking in Old Town, the redevelopment agency has assembled property for shared parking and reduced standards as outlined herein to rely on this shared parking rather than compelling each business to satisfy parking demand on-site. To ensure that adequate parking remains available, the Planning Commission will periodically evaluate parking conditions in the Old Town in the form of a parking capacity assessment. Through analysis of that assessment, the Planning Commission will determine whether the then current parking supply is adequate to meet the corresponding parking demand. The following standards and criteria apply to the parking assessment and determination:
1. Assessment Frequency. The city will evaluate and monitor parking supply and demand on a regular basis. A parking capacity assessment shall be conducted the sooner of every two (2) years or after every fifth new use, that would require ten (10) or more parking spaces as outlined in Table 17.48.050-1 (Parking Requirements by Land Use).
2. Responsibility and Content. City staff shall prepare the parking capacity assessment for Planning Commission consideration. The assessment shall include average and peak parking capacity in the designated Old Town area.
3. Determination of Parking Adequacy. The Planning Commission shall find that parking is adequate if parking demand does not exceed eighty-five percent (85%) of the available capacity within a two (2)-block radius of a project.
4. Parking Controls. The Planning Commission will implement parking controls (e.g., time limits, metered parking, and remotely located employee parking) before seeking to expand parking capacity.
5. Shared Parking. The Planning Commission will consider expanding available shared public parking (e.g., a parking garage) in order to relieve individual projects of the obligation to provide parking on-site as determined by a parking management study.
E. Reciprocal Easement Agreements. Property owners of new parking lots are required to provide reciprocal easements to adjacent properties zoned for public facility, commercial, office or mixed use on which new parking lots could potentially be developed as determined by the city engineer or Community Development Director. Placement of reciprocal easements will be determined by the city engineer and/or Community Development Director. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)

Attachment C. Housing Element Programs Associated with
Revisions
Yellow highlighted text was addressed in set A (ADU, JADU, SB9) Green highlighted text was addressed in set B (ADU Amnesty) Blue highlighted text was addressed in set C (Parking, Affordable Housing, Review Process) Program 4. Facilitate ADU Production
To encourage and increase ADU production in the City, a number of efforts are included. The programs are intended to help the City meet its target projection of three ADUs per year.
This program works in conjunction with Program 23, ADU, JADU, and SB 9 Education. If annual production and affordability rates do not match the estimates included in the Housing Resources Section, the City will update the ADU strategy to ensure that the City continues to maintain adequate capacity for all income levels. • Updated ADU Ordinance. The City has submitted its ADU ordinance to the State and the State acknowledge that the ordinance was received. Should the State require revisions to the ordinance, it will be modified to reflect the requested revisions within one year upon receipt of the comments.
• ADU Tracking. The City will track and monitor its ADU production to ensure that annual production achieves the RHNA projections (3 ADUs/year). The City will begin to request information about ADU rents from applicants to better track the affordability of proposed ADUs. As a part of ADU tracking, the City will analyze geographic distribution of ADUs biennially to understand which neighborhoods are building ADUs. • ADU Fast Track Program. The City will develop a process to fast track ADU applications through plan check by moving them to the top of the queue and reducing plan check turnaround times.
• ADU Amnesty Program. To ensure safe and adequate housing, the City will develop an ADU amnesty program for existing, unpermitted ADUs to receive inspections and bring units into compliance with code and permits without risk of code enforcement action, significant fee reductions and assistance in determining necessary improvements. • Fee Waivers for Affordable ADUs. Current successor funds require an affordability covenant length of 55 years. The City will modify Zoning Ordinance Section 17.70.060 to shorten the required ADU covenant length (for example, for 5 – 15 years) pending alternate funding to offset the fee waivers for ADUs over 750 square feet that are made available to lower or moderate income households for a shorter period of time. The City will pursue funding sources, such as PLHA or in-lieu fees, funds for this effort.
Program 5. SB 9 Technical Assistance and Facilitation
The City is in the process of creating informational materials to assist applicants and property owners in submitting applications for the development of SB 9 projects, which would
highlight permit requirements and development standards to promote greater clarity in preparing submittals. Materials are anticipated to be completed in 2023. In the interim, City staff provides guidance to applicants and owners through correspondences by phone, email, and counter meetings to help applicants understand State standards and provisions under SB 9, discuss preliminary design concepts, and explain permit procedures. Additionally, the City is in the process of establishing objective design standards. Objective design standards would provide greater predictability and clarity regarding design attributes for new residential development and support ministerial review and are anticipated to be completed within two years of Housing Element adoption.
The City has recently received its first SB 9 application. In an effort to encourage and facilitate development in single family zone, the City will pursue a number of technical assistance and facilitation efforts including:
• Updating the zoning code. This will include a review of developmental standards that could constrain SB 9 development and updating the zoning code to remove such constraints.
• Creating a simplified lot split form to process SB 9 projects and provide the form online
• Ensure objective design standards for SB 9 units (Program 13) • Provide enhanced technical assistance through Program 4, which includes implementing new software to provide residents and developers with tools to determine if an ADU or SB 9 unit can be put on their property. The software will provide information regarding zoning, rebate opportunities, opportunities for fee waivers available for affordable ADU and SB 9 development, and the ADU amnesty program. The objective design standards and simplified lot form for SB 9 units will be made available through the software.
This program works in conjunction with Program 23, ADU, JADU, and SB 9 Education, which provide a variety resources and outreach to homeowners regarding SB 9.
Program 6. Incentives for Mixed-Use Developments
The City will develop incentives to encourage residential mixed-use development in areas consistent with the Three Corridors Specific Plan Land Use Plans, and in particular along portions of the San Pablo Avenue, Pinole Valley Road, and Appian Way. Specific incentives for mixed-used development include:
• A waiver of park development impact fees for deed-restricted affordable units beyond the inclusionary requirement in a development in coordination with the development of a Housing Successor’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Policy (Program 7).
• Prepare, update, or revise EIR as appropriate to provide CEQA clearances for projects that comply with existing zoning . The City will review and update as necessary the EIR prepared for the GP and Specific Plan so that individual projects can utilize opportunities for tiering from environmental documentation and streamlining provided under CEQA, where applicable, which can reduce duplicative analyses and
streamline environmental review. The City will begin the review within 3 years of Housing Element adoption and complete it within 6 years of adoption. • Priority development project review and processing.
Additional incentives the City shall explore include but are not limited to:
• Increased densities.
• Providing flexibility in parking requirements.
Program 7. Development of Housing Successor’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Policy
The City will develop a Housing Successor’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Policy. The policy will set priorities and goals for the use of affordable housing funds in the City as well as investigate the creation of an in-lieu fee as an alternative to the inclusionary housing requirement. The policy guide will ensure efficient and productive use of the resources. The policy guide will consider RHNA requirements, local housing needs and demographics, and fair housing objectives, among other factors. To encourage housing mobility and choice across Pinole, the City will prioritize use of limited affordable funding to create affordable housing developments and provide ownership of housing for moderate and lower-income households in higher opportunity areas of the City, including those with healthy environment, access to transportation and resources, and higher education scores, more common in eastern Pinole. The City is also including a waiver of park impact fees for affordable units beyond the inclusionary housing requirement (per Program 8).
The City will continue to require 15 percent of the units located in new residential developments of four or more to be affordable, and of those units, 40 percent must be affordable to very low income households with the construction of units off-site as an alternative. The City will pursue creation of an in-lieu fee alternative for the inclusionary housing requirement to provide flexibility for smaller projects and to create a new funding source for affordable housing projects.
Program 8. Affordable Housing Incentives
Create and adopt a set of incentives for projects that provide a minimum of 15 percent of total units affordable to low and moderate income households, and provide additional affordable housing beyond the City’s 15 percent inclusionary requirement. Specific incentives include:
• Priority and expedited review for affordable housing developments. The City will create and adopt a process for expedited and priority review which may include, for example, completion of initial review within 20 days following the intake of a new application and providing subsequent review comments back to applicants at a targeted expedited review rate 50 percent faster than the regular review process. The expedited review process would apply to projects that include affordable housing beyond the City’s inclusionary requirement and would include factors such as affordability level, location in City, and developments targeting special needs
population.
• Waiver of park impact fees for all deed-restricted affordable units in excess of the 15 percent inclusionary units requirement.
The City will continue to provide incentives for lot consolidation requests made to facilitate low-income housing through strategies that may include, but are not limited to:
• Flexibility in development standards.
• Ministerial approval of lot consolidation requests made in order to facilitate development of affordable housing.
Additional incentives the City shall investigate include but are not limited to:
• Standard planning application fee waivers based on the affordability level proposed.
Program 9. Housing for Extremely Low, Very Low, Low, and Moderate Income Households and Special Needs Households, Including Persons with Disabilities To encourage and facilitate the development of housing for lower income households, especially extremely low income households and special needs households, including housing for persons with disabilities, the City is pursuing a number of efforts identified in this program and in coordination with other programs in the Housing Element. As identified in the needs analysis of this Housing Element, special needs households with the greatest identified need in Pinole include the elderly and persons with disabilities. Specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households, as well as housing for persons with special needs are as follows:
• Develop a Housing Successor’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Policy that prioritizes affordable housing developments for extremely-low income households, households with special needs and households with persons with disabilities. The policy guide will consider RHNA requirements, local housing needs, such as the needs of special needs households, demographics, and fair housing objectives, among other factors and will be completed within 3 years of Housing Element adoption. (see Program 7).
• Develop a fee waiver program that would provide low or no-cost building permits to age-qualified, lower income households, and qualified special needs households to make improvements to their home for universal design. The fee waiver program will help reduce costs for qualifying special needs households to improve their homes.
The City will develop a list of qualifying households and qualifying upgrades for the program. Eligible improvements may include plumbing, roofing, water damage, accessibility/mobility modifications, and improvements to make moving around inside and outside the home easier, such as stair lifts and hand rails. The Program will be completed with 18 months of Housing Element adoption. • Reduce parking standards for lower-income household developments. Zoning Ordinance amendments for will be completed within two years of Housing Element adoption.
• Contact housing service providers within Contra Costa County to determine the best
way to facilitate development of housing for extremely low-income households and special needs households, including persons with disabilities within one year of Housing Element adoption
• Based on funding availability, explore, at least once a year, development assistance for multifamily and supportive housing to meet the needs of extremely low-income households and persons with disabilities (including persons with developmental disabilities), and other special needs households.
• Implement a waiver of park impact fees for all deed-restricted affordable units in excess of the 15 percent inclusionary units requirement within two years of Housing Element adoption (see Program 8.)
• A suite of actions to encourage development of housing for seniors as outlined Program 10. Actions include reducing parking for senior housing developments, a home sharing and tenant matching program, enhanced rebate options for energy efficient home improvements, and participation in regional programs. • Annually contact developers of special needs and lower income housing to assist in development where feasible by:
o Assisting and supporting new applications.
o Providing priority processing, in coordination with Program 8. o Evaluate fee deferrals or subsidies and design modifications. o Facilitating site acquisition.
o Hosting an annual workshop for developers to provide information on the City’s regulations regarding housing development, opportunities and sites available for development, and the City’s development incentives.
Program 10. Senior Housing Incentives
The needs analysis identified a special need for the development of housing for seniors in Pinole. In response to this need, the City will develop a set of incentives to encourage the development of housing for seniors. Specific incentives include:
• Reducing parking requirements for senior housing development. • Permit fee waivers for elderly residents for adaptation and modifications of households to accommodate universal design and aging in place (per Program 9). • Enhanced rebate incentives for homeowners to make it financially feasible to undertake energy efficient and weatherization projects (per Program 19). • Promote home match shared housing programs (per Program 11), such as Front Porch’s Home Match, for homeowners to turn an available room into an opportunity to earn income, save money, age-in place, provide affordable housing and create new social connections.
• Participation in regional programs to provide assistance to seniors. Continue the partnership with the Contra Costa and Solano Food Bank to provide food resources to the community and seniors.
Additional incentives the City shall investigate include but are not limited to:
• Investigate Density Bonus beyond state law.
• Allow smaller senior units via an equivalent density unit factor that would count one senior unit as a fraction of a regular dwelling unit.
Program 12. Zoning Amendments
The City is including a number of zoning amendments as identified in the constraints section to ensure compliance with state law and remove constraints to development. Amendments to the zoning ordinance are as follows.
• Amend the Emergency Shelter ordinance to comply with AB 139 and to ensure that standards for emergency shelters are subject to the same standards as other uses in the same zone and parking requirements are based on staffing levels only. • Amend the zoning ordinance pursuant to Government Code Section 65583 to allow for Low Barrier Navigation Centers by right in areas zoned for mixed uses and nonresidential zones that permit multifamily uses.
• Amend the zoning ordinance in RMU to permit manufactured homes on permanent foundations as if they were single-family homes.
• Amend the zoning ordinance to comply with SB 9 standards (California Government Code section 65852.21).
• Review and revise standards and definitions for both group homes and residential care facilities to ensure that they are fully compliant with all appropriate state laws and that there are no constraints on group homes in the Zoning Code. This includes an amendment to allow group homes in the R zone as a permitted use by right as is allowed in all other residential zones and adding a definition of group residential to the Zoning Code.
• Review the definition of family and revise as appropriate to ensure that the definition does not require, or imply that it requires a single lease or rental agreement. • Amend the zoning ordinance to comply with state density bonus law (California Government Code section 65915). Specifically the update will increase the maximum density bonus from 35 to 50 percent, add student housing as a housing type that is eligible for density bonus incentives, reduce parking from 2 to 1.5 spaces for two and three bedroom units and from 2.5 to 2 spaces for four or more bedroom units. The City is complying with state density bonus law though the code is not yet updated. • The City will reduce the level of approval for a parking reduction or shared parking agreement from a conditional use permit to an administrative use permit, which is approved by the Zoning Administrator. The City will review the four criteria for a parking reduction to evaluate additional criteria or/and reduce the minimum number of required criteria.
• The City will further study parking requirements and reduce them so they do not post a constraint on development. Specifically, the City will do one or more of the following:
remove or reduce guest parking, remove covered parking requirements, allow tandem parking, or reduce minimum parking requirements. The City is pursuing assistance with parking evaluation and reduction through MTC-ABAG’s parking policy technical assistance.
Program 13. SB 330 Objective Design Standards and SB 35 Streamlining Compliance SB 330 enacts changes to local development policies, permitting, and processes that will be in effect through January 1, 2025. SB 330 places new criteria on the application requirements and processing times for housing developments; prevents localities from decreasing the housing capacity of any site, such as through downzoning or increasing open space requirements, if such a decrease would preclude the jurisdiction from meeting its RHNA housing targets; prevents localities from establishing non-objective standards; and requires that any proposed demolition of housing units be accompanied by a project that would replace or exceed the total number of units demolished. Additionally, any demolished units that were occupied by lower-income households must be replaced with new units affordable to households with those same income levels.
The City will ensure compliance with SB 330, by requiring any demolished units that were occupied by lower-income households to be replaced with new units affordable to households with those same income levels and establishing objective design standards.
Pursuant to SB 330, the City will review and amend the Zoning Ordinance and Design Review Guidelines to ensure that all development standards, design guidelines, and findings are objective, and promote certainty in the planning and approval process. The objective standards will also include standards for SB 9 projects. The City has begun the process and is currently cataloging existing objective and subjective standards. Through implementing objective design standards, the City is aiming to reduce the time it takes to complete the comprehensive design review process.
The City will review its approval processes to accommodate SB 35 streamlined applications and by-right applications for permanent supportive housing and navigation centers. The City will provide information regarding the SB 35 process on its website.
Program 15. Permit Streamlining
The City is including multiple efforts to expedite the permitting and review process through reducing the necessary levels of approval. This is a response to public outreach, constraints, and needs analyses.
Specifically, the City will:
• Lower the approval authority of entitlements for all Density Bonus projects from City Council to Planning Commission.
• Process lot consolidations ministerially.
• Adopt a priority permitting process for developments with affordable units beyond the inclusionary requirement (Program 8)
The City is in the process of implementing an electronic permitting application and tracking system. The online permitting process will help to expedite permitting procedures and will make permitting submittals and subsequent reviews easier for applicants, including allowing applicants to review items needed for submittals, check current project status, and digitally submit materials.

Re: Proposed amendments to the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit Regulations
Dear Pinole City Council,
The California Housing Defense Fund (“CalHDF”) submits this letter as a public comment concerning item 10B on the agenda for the City Council meeting scheduled for January 21, 2025, an amendment to the City’s regulations for ADUs and JADUs. This proposed ordinance fails to comply with state law in several ways, and the City should address these problems before approving the ordinance.
Background
The law gives local governments authority to enact zoning ordinances that implement a variety of development standards on ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66314.) The standards in these local ordinances are limited by state law so as not to overly restrict ADU development. (See id.) Separately from local ADU ordinances, Government Code section 66323 establishes a narrower set of ADU types that local governments have a ministerial duty to approve. “Notwithstanding Sections 66314 to 66322 ... a local agency shall ministerially approve” these types of ADUs. (Id. at subd. (a).) This means that ADUs that satisfy the minimal requirements of section 66323 must be approved regardless of any contrary provisions of the local ADU ordinance. (Ibid.) Local governments may not impose their own standards on such ADUs. (Gov. Code, § 66323, subd. (b) [“A local agency shall not impose any objective development or design standard that is not authorized by this section upon any accessory dwelling unit that meets the requirements of any of paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a).”].) 360 Grand Ave #323, Oakland 94610
[email protected]
In addition, ADUs that qualify for the protections of Government Code section 66323, like other ADUs, must be processed by local governments within 60 days of a complete permit application submittal. (Gov. Code, § 66317, subd. (a).) State law also prohibits creating regulations on ADU development not explicitly allowed by state law. Government Code Section 66315 states, “No additional standards, other than those provided in Section 66314, shall be used or imposed, including an owner-occupant requirement, except that a local agency may require that the property may be used for rentals of terms 30 days or longer.”
Impermissible Underlying Standards
City code section 17.70.040 imposes all underlying city zoning standards on ADUs, except as modified by that section. However, as discussed supra, Government Code section 66323 mandates that the City approve a specific class of ADUs subject only to specified height and setback requirements, notwithstanding any local code requirements to the contrary. This means, for example, that the City cannot impose landscaping regulations, floor area ratio regulations, parking requirements, front setbacks, etc. on ADUs that qualify for the protections of Government Code section 66323.
Impermissible Location Regulations
City code section 17.70.040(D)(5) mandates that new detached ADUs “shall be constructed at the rear or side of an existing single-family residence, and otherwise appear secondary in nature, and not be constructed in front of the primary dwelling unit.” However, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) does not permit any requirement for ADUs to be located to the side or rear of the primary dwelling, if the ADUs qualify for the protections of that section of law. There are many policy reasons for this. For instance, a homeowner may prefer to preserve a private backyard space while redeveloping the less useful front yard. While children may play in the backyard, the front yard is closer to the street and less safe for a variety of activities. The City therefore must allow front yard ADUs that comply with the standards in Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) both on single family and on multifamily properties.
HCD has issued guidance (the January 2025 HCD ADU Handbook, page 18) affirming the duty of local agencies to allow ADUs protected by Government Code section 66323 in the front setback under all circumstances.
Additionally, this is not an objective standard, as it is impossible for an applicant to know, ex ante, what a reviewing official will consider to “appear secondary in nature.” Government Code section 66314, subdivision(b)(1) permits the imposition of objective standards, and 2 of 4
Government Code section 66315 prohibits the imposition of standards beyond what is provided for in § 66314. The City may therefore not impose this non-objective standard.
Additionally, City Code section 17.70.040(D)(2)(C) imposes a requirement that “detached ADUs shall not be less than six (6) feet from the primary dwelling unit, except if this would prohibit the construction of an eight hundred (800) square foot ADU with four (4) foot rear and side setbacks.”
As discussed supra, Government Code section 66323, subdivision (a) does not permit any locational requirements for detached ADUs other than that they be four feet from side and rear property lines (if newly constructed) or have setbacks sufficient for fire and safety (if converted from existing structures). As an example, this section of law would illegally prohibit the conversion of a garage to an ADU, if that garage were less than six feet from the primary dwelling. The City therefore may not impose this six-foot requirement on ADUs protected by Government Code section 66323.
Impermissible Design Standard
City code section 17.70.040(E)(6) requires “Modifications to the exterior of the residence in order accommodate [sic] a proposed JADU shall use exterior colors, materials, and architectural details that match the appearance of existing corresponding features on the residence.” However, as discussed supra, if the JADU qualifies for the protections of Government Code section 66323, subd. (a)(1), then the city must approve it ministerially, via building permit only, and cannot impose any such design regulations, as this section of state law only permits specified height and setback regulations, as discussed supra.
Impermissible Parking Requirements
City code section 17.70.040(F) requires parking for each new ADU, less certain exceptions.
However, as discussed supra, Government Code section 66323 mandates that the City approve a specific class of ADUs subject only to specified height and setback requirements, notwithstanding any local code requirements to the contrary. This means that the City cannot subject such ADUs to parking requirements.

Amnesty Program for
Unpermitted Dwelling Units
This pre-submittal checklist is provided to you, the owner of an unpermitted dwelling unit, for selfassessment of your property. It will assist you in exploring the possibility of legalization of your unit under the Amnesty Program for Unpermitted Dwelling Units. Please complete this checklist to identify possible code issues and to assess the possibility of pursuing legalization of your unit. Once completed, you may choose to schedule a free and confidential consultation with program staff to discuss possible pathways to legalization of your unit.
Note: The City of Berkeley cannot ignore any conditions that present an immediate danger to life safety.
Applicants must be aware of this risk before submitting an Amnesty Program Application and having your unpermitted unit inspected by a City Inspector. Any fire and/or life safety violations observed during the initial Housing Inspection must be corrected within 30 calendar days. Violations determined to be an immediate danger that are not corrected may be subject to code enforcement proceedings including assessment of fees.

Path 1: Certificate of Occupancy - Site Plan Requirements For applicants seeking the full legalization of an unpermitted dwelling unit, a building permit and construction documents must be submitted. Site plans, floor plans and other drawings are required during the permit process, as if the project were new construction. After a permit is issued, an approved final inspection is required to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy and to fully legalize the unit.

CITY COUNCIL
REPORT 12.A.
DATE: MARCH 4, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: Markisha Guillory, Finance Director, 510-724-9823, [email protected] SUBJECT: FY 2024/25 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW (SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL
REPORT)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Second Quarter Financial Report.
BACKGROUND
The quarterly financial report is intended to provide the City Council, City staff and management, and the community a general update on the financial activities and condition of the City.
The City operates on an annual budget cycle. Through the budget, the City Council approves revenue estimates and authorizes City staff to expend the City’s limited financial resources. As one of the many activities that the City undertakes to help ensure its financial soundness, staff provides quarterly financial reports on the City’s budget condition.
The Second Quarter Financial Report (Attachments A and B) covers financial activity through the second quarter of FY 2024/25, ending December 31, 2024. It provides preliminary yearend results.
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
At its meeting on June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted the FY 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget. The FY 2024/25 budget is a status quo budget, meaning that the revenue sources and service and staffing levels included in the budget are similar to those included in the prior year’s budget. The City remains in a stable financial position and is able to fund its operating and capital expenditures through annual, recurring funding sources. The budget does include the use of unassigned fund balance (residual, unrestricted funds) primarily for several one-time, Council-directed initiatives, which is an acceptable use of unrestricted funds.
An important part of managing the City’s budget performance is through the mid-year budget review which includes a projection through the end of the fiscal year. The mid-year budget, excluding any one-time adjustments, serves as the baseline budget for the subsequent fiscal year and for the long-term financial forecast. The mid-year budget review involves a detailed analysis of budget-to-actuals from July 1 to December 31 and helps us determine if adjustments to anticipated revenue and planned expenditures are necessary. At the mid-point
of the fiscal year most revenues and expenditures are expected to be at 50% of budget, although this may vary based on the timing of certain receipts and spending trends.
Overall, revenues and expenditures are mostly on target with budgeted amounts as expected at this point in the fiscal year. However, staff is recommending several revenue and expenditure adjustments to better align some areas of the budget with current projections and operating needs. The Second Quarter (Mid-Year) Financial Report (Attachment A) outlines this information.
The FY 2024/25 budget and actual revenue, expenditures, and estimated beginning and ending fund balance for each City fund is listed in the Financial Summary (Attachment B).

FY 2024/25 Second Quarter Financial Report
Introduction
3 Introduction
The quarterly financial report is intended to provide the City Council, City staff and management, and the community a general update on the financial activities and condition of the City.
The City operates on an annual budget cycle. Through the budget, the City Council approves revenue estimates and authorizes City staff to expend the City’s limited financial resources.
As one of the many activities that the City undertakes to help ensure its financial soundness, staff provides quarterly financial reports on the City’s budget condition.
The First Quarter Financial Report covers financial activity through the first quarter of the FY 2024/25, July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. It also provides projected year-end results.
The City’s full budget document, FY 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget, and other financial reports, can be found on the City’s website at https://www.pinole.gov/financialreports/.
FY 2024/25 Second Quarter Financial Report
General Fund Overview
4 General Fund Overview
The FY 2024/25 budget is a status quo budget, meaning that the revenue sources and service and staffing levels included in the budget are similar to those included in the prior year’s budget. The City remains in a stable financial position and is able to fund its operating and capital expenditures through annual, recurring funding sources. The budget does include the use of unassigned fund balance (residual, unrestricted funds) primarily for several onetime, Council-directed initiatives, which is an acceptable use of unrestricted funds.
Additionally, the City maintains a separate General Reserve Fund, which is required by the City’s Cash Reserve Policy to maintain a reserve balance equal to 50% of total on-going General Fund expenditures. To close the budget gap for FY 2024/25, the City Council approved a one-time transfer of $843,790 from the General Reserve to balance the budget.
The General Reserve fund balance will be approximately $9.7 million after the transfer is processed, which is approximately 42% of total on-going General Fund expenditures.
At its meeting on June 25, 2024, the City Council adopted the FY 2024/25 budget, which included the use of the General Fund’s unassigned fund balance to fund several Councildirected initiatives as well as several capital improvement projects. The FY 2024/25 adopted budget includes the use of General Fund (including Measure S 2006 and 2014) unassigned fund balance for a net deficit of $9 million.
The majority of the use of fund balance is for several large, multi-year capital improvement projects. It is important to note that the total estimated costs of capital projects are budgeted in year one (FY 2024/25) of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) although some projects may take several years to complete. The total costs are budgeted up front to earmark the full amount of funding needed to complete the CIP projects. An itemized list of the capital projects funded by the General Fund unassigned fund balance can be found on page 7 of the FY 2024/25 Operating and Capital Budget: https://www.pinole.gov/wpcontent/uploads/2024/08/Budget-for-FY2024-2025.pdf.
The City is projecting to end FY 2024/25 with a net deficit of $9 million, with total revenues projected at $28.7 million and expenditures at $33.9 million, and an estimated ending fund balance of $2.4 million, if all one-time initiatives and capital projects were to be completed within FY 2024/25. The table below summarizes the General Fund budget to actuals through the second quarter.

General Fund Overview
5 Since the second quarter represents 50% of the fiscal year, it is expected that actual revenues and actual expenditures will be around 50% of budget. However, this may vary depending on the timing of certain receipts (e.g., property tax) and disbursements (e.g., debt payments).

General Fund Revenue
6 General Fund Revenue
The City Council authorized revenues in the amount of $28,219,433 in the original FY 2024/25 General Fund budget, including Measure S 2006 and 2014. General Fund actual revenues through the second quarter of FY 2024/25 totaled $11,558,900, which is 40% of the budget. This is consistent with actual revenue received in the second quarter of prior fiscal years. The table below summarizes General Fund revenue activity through the second quarter.
Although actuals are mostly in line with budget, staff is recommending several adjustments, as outlined in the table above, resulting in a net increase of $444,681 in the Geneal Fund revenue budget. See the Second Quarter Financial Summary by Fund on page 30 for detailed explanations of the proposed budget adjustments.
The following section describes each revenue category and provides historical trend information as well as financial activity for the second quarter of FY 2024/25.

General Fund Revenue
7 Sales Tax
Sales tax is the City’s largest general revenue stream at 34% of total General Fund revenues.
Through the second quarter, sales tax revenue collected through November, was $3,590,669, 38% of the budget. There is a typically a two-month delay in the timing of sales tax receipts. The receipts are consistent with revenue received for the same time period in previous fiscal years.
City staff meets with the sales tax consultant, HdL, quarterly to get updates on the previous quarter’s sales tax performance. Highlights from the last quarterly sales tax update for the period July through September 2024 were:
• Overall sales tax receipts were down 0.7% compared to the same period in 2023; • A relatively new business in town boosted general consumer goods revenues, offsetting decreases in other sectors such as electronics/appliances and specialty stores;
• The City’s allocation from the countywide use tax pool jumped 2.3% as the City’s pool share increased;
• Casual dining revenues were lower, but partially offset by growth in quick-service and fast-casual restaurants;
• The price of crude oil fell during the period and directly affected fuel-service station receipts—with revenues falling 19%.
HdL provided updated sales tax projections for FY 2024/25. We expect to receive $139,280 less than originally budgeted. Therefore, staff is recommending an adjustment to reduce the revenue budget by $139,280 (General Fund and the Measure Ss). However, the reduction will be partially offset by an additional $600,000 that we expect to receive from new local sales tax (Measure I), which was passed by voters in the November 2024 election. The $600,000 represents one quarter of the new revenue sinceMeasure I goes into effect on April 1, 2025. The net increase to the sales tax revenue budget is $460,720.

General Fund Revenue
9 Property Tax
Property tax is the City’s second largest revenue stream at 22% of total General Fund revenues. It is comprised of four segments – secured, unsecured, supplemental, and transfer tax. The largest segment is secured property tax. It is received in three installments in December (55%), April (40%), and June of each year (5%). Secured property tax revenue includes the basic 1% property tax and the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF).
This is revenue that has resulted from the dissolution of the former Pinole Redevelopment Agency and represents the shift from the Agency receiving tax increment revenue to the various taxing entities receiving the tax revenue. The RPTTF revenue will convert to “normal” property tax revenue this fiscal year as all of the former Agency’s outstanding debt is paid off and the Successor Agency is formally dissolved.

Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), also known as the “hotel tax,” is levied at 10% on persons staying 30 days or less in a motel or lodging facility within City limits. Through the second quarter, revenue collected was 159,558, 40% of the amended budget. Due to the downward trend in short-term lodging in the City, staff is recommending an adjustment to reduce the revenue budget by $60,000.

General Fund Revenue
16 Other Revenue
Other revenue includes permits, fees, fines and forfeitures, rental income, proceeds from the sale of property, investment income, and grants. All revenues in this category totaled $525,260, 59% of the budget. Some revenue sources within this category are trending significantly higher than originally budgeted; therefore, staff is recommending adjustments to increase the grants and fines and forfeitures revenue budgets totaling $43,961.
Transfers In
The transfer in comes from the Section 115 Trust to offset the increase in pension costs in the General Fund. For FY 2024/25, $2,425,000 is budgeted, but the actual amount of the transfer will be based on total expenditures at year-end.
Also, the City Council approved a one-time transfer of $843,790 to the General Fund from the General Reserve to balance the budget for FY 2024/25. The transfer will be made later in the fiscal year.

Actual expenditures in most departments were at or below 50%. Those that were above 50% are discussed below.
• Several departments, including City Treasurer, Finance, and Human Resources were slightly over 50% due to the workers compensation and general liability annual premiums being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year. • City Attorney expenditures were at 52% of budget due the time lag in reimbursements (credits) from other City departments for legal services. Reimbursements are processed in the month following the end of each quarter. • Non-Departmental expenditures were at 90% due to the annual debt payment for 2006 pension obligation bonds which was paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year, operating subsidies being transferred to Recreation and PCTV, and contributions to the Equipment Replacement Fund, and the City Street Improvement and Arterial Streets Rehabilitation Funds.

General Fund Expenditures
18 Actuals in most of the expenditure categories were at or below 50%. Those that were above 50% are discussed below.
• Benefits were at 54% of budget primarily due to the workers’ compensation annual premium being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year. • Other operating, mostly comprised of utilities, was at 57% but fluctuates throughout the fiscal year.
• Debt service was at 100% due to the annual payment being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Although actuals are mostly in line with budget, staff is recommending several adjustments, as outlined in the tables above, resulting in a net savings of $111,840 in the Geneal Fund expenditure budget. See the Second Quarter Financial Summary by Fund on page 30 for detailed explanations of the proposed budget adjustments.

20 Employee Benefits
The cost of retirement benefits is the City’s annual required contribution for employees’ pension to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS). The City’s annual required contribution is determined by an annual actuarial valuation report, the most recent of which is as of July 2023. The budget reflects the net cost to the City (the required total contribution minus the employee contributions). All classic employees currently contribute the required employee contribution plus a portion of the employer’s contribution for a total of 15%.
Other benefits include employee medical/dental/vision care, workers’ compensation, and others. The benefits cost in the forecast is based primarily trends and information provided by service providers. Through the second quarter, benefits were $3,972,929, 54% of the budget. As previously stated, the overage is primarily attributable to the workers’ compensation and general liability annual premiums being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year.

This category is primarily projected based on contractual obligations and historical trends.
Through the second quarter, professional and administrative services were $3,995,393, 41% of the budget.

22 Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses include all other expenditure categories, such as travel/training, office expenses, and utilities. Through the second quarter, expenditures including encumbrances were $184,985, 57% of the budget.
Materials and Supplies
Materials and supplies include fuel, supplies, and maintenance materials. Through the second quarter, expenditures were $55,944, 30% of the budget.
Interdepartmental Charges
Interdepartmental charges include indirect costs for personnel costs allocated to other funds, information systems, legal charges, and general liability. Through the second quarter, expenditures were $239,916. This was due to the general liability premium being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year. Staff is recommending adjustments to increase interdepartmental charges by $29,230 primarily for various information technology services.
Asset/Capital Outlay
Asset/capital outlay includes non-major asset acquisition and improvements, such as computer equipment and furniture, as well as several major capital projects to be funded by the General Fund unassigned fund balance. Through the second quarter, asset/capital outlay expenditures were $439,302, 6% of the budget. Staff is recommending adjustments to decrease asset/capital outlay by $250,000 because the City budgeted funds for Pinole Energy Enhancement Rebate (PEER) but made the payment to the County at the end of the prior fiscal year.
Each fiscal year, capital needs are assessed and prioritized through the CIP planning process. Capital improvement projects are detailed in a separate Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP): https://www.pinole.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FinalProposed-FY-2024-45-through-2028-29-CIP-6-18-24.pdf.
Debt Service
Debt service includes the payment of debt for the 2006 pension obligation bonds (POBs) that were issued to finance the City’s unfunded accrued actuarial liability with CalPERS. This category was at 100% of the revised budget due to the debt payment being paid in full at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Transfers Out
Transfers out includes the transfers from the General Fund and Measure S to other funds to support Recreation programs, Pinole Community Television (PCTV), vehicle and equipment replacement. The transfers are processed later in the fiscal year
FY 2024/25 Second Quarter Financial Report
General Fund Expenditures
23 Non-General Funds
The following analysis provides explanations of the financial activity for select non-general funds.
Since the second quarter represents 50% of the fiscal year, it is expected that actual revenues and actual expenditures will be around 50% of budget. However, this may vary depending on the timing of certain receipts and disbursements. Also, these funds include capital improvement projects which may take several fiscal years to be completed.
Special Revenue Funds
Gas Tax Fund (Fund 200)
The Gas Tax Fund accounts for revenue from State excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel sales (referred to as the Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA)) as well as revenue from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1) (referred to as the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA)). Gas Tax Fund resources are restricted for use in the construction and maintenance of public streets. These funds support both annual operating and capital projects. Through the second quarter, revenues were $534,063, 51% of the budget. Expenditures including encumbrances were $211,331, 9% of the budget. Actual expenditures were low due to the timing of budgeted capital projects.
Public Safety Augmentation Fund (Fund 203)
The Public Safety Augmentation Fund (PSAF) accounts for monies allocated by the County Auditor-Controller under Proposition 172 from the statewide 0.5% sales tax based on a share of statewide taxable sales. These funds are used for public safety personnel costs and safety equipment purchases. Through the second quarter, revenues were $115,927, 46% of the budget. There is typically a one-month delay in receiving the funds for the previous month. Expenditures were $250,725, 46% of the budget.

In addition to the $100,000 annual payment, the City receives a Growth Allocation payment. The funds are used for officer personnel costs and safety equipment purchases. Through the second quarter, revenues were $183,189, 105% of the budget. Expenditures were $151,929, 52% of the budget. The overage was due to the purchase of a vehicle, which is budgeted.
NPDES Storm Water Fund (Fund 207)
The NPDES Storm Water Fund accounts for assessments collected by the County via property tax bills and provided to the City for stormwater programs pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations, a federally mandated program. Assessments are levied at $35 per Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU). Revenues are received in December, April, and June through property tax assessments. Through the second quarter, expenditures were $271,262, 71% of the budget. The overage was attributable to one-time costs for the storm drain master plan and project management support.
Recreation Fund (Fund 209)
The Recreation Department Fund accounts for funds received from fees for participation in recreational programs. While the recreation programs of the Community Services Department have operated on a limited basis in some areas, program participation and facility rentals are starting to increase.
