Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 26 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 2 SECTION 1. Section 18.20.095 of the Pleasant Hill Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety and replaced with the following ordinance provisions:
“18.20.095 Accessory dwelling units.

A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to allow and regulate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) in compliance with Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code.

B. Effect of conforming. An ADU or JADU that conforms to the standards in this section will not be:

6. Junior accessory dwelling unit or JADU means a residential unit that satisfies all of the following:
a. Is no more than 500 square feet in size;
b. Is contained entirely within an existing or proposed single-family structure (an enclosed use within the residence, such as an attached garage, is considered to be a part of and contained within the single-family structure); c. Includes its own separate sanitation facilities or shares sanitation facilities with the existing or proposed single-family structure;
d. If the unit does not include its own separate bathroom, then it contains an interior entrance to the main living area of the existing or proposed single-family structure in addition to an exterior entrance that is separate from the main entrance to the primary dwelling; and

7. Livable space means a space in a dwelling intended for human habitation, including living, sleeping, eating, cooking, or sanitation.

D. Approvals. The following approvals apply to ADUs and JADUs under this section:

Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 28 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 4 1. Building permit only. If an ADU or JADU complies with each of the general requirements in subsection E of this section, it is allowed with only a building permit in the following scenarios:
a. Converted on single-family lot. One ADU and one JADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling on it, where the ADU or JADU:
i. Is either: within the space of a proposed single-family dwelling; within the existing space of an existing single-family dwelling; or (in the case of an ADU only) within the existing accessory structure, plus up to 150 additional square feet if the expansion is limited to accommodating ingress and egress; and
ii. Has exterior access that is independent of that for the single-family dwelling; and
iii. Has side and rear setbacks sufficient for fire and safety, as dictated by applicable building and fire codes.
iv. The JADU complies with the requirements of Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code.
b. Limited detached on single-family lot. One detached, new-construction ADU on a lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling (in addition to any JADU that might otherwise be established on the lot under subsection D.1.a of this section), if the detached ADU satisfies the following limitations:

c. Converted on multifamily lot. One or more ADUs within portions of existing multifamily dwelling structures that are not used as livable space, including but not limited to storage rooms, boiler rooms, passageways, attics, basements, or garages, if each converted ADU complies with state building standards for dwellings. Under this subsection D.1.c, at least one converted ADU is allowed within an existing multifamily dwelling, up to a quantity equal to 25% of the existing multifamily dwelling units.
d. Limited detached on multifamily lot. No more than two detached ADUs on a lot that has a proposed multifamily dwelling, or up to eight detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multifamily dwelling, if each detached ADU satisfies the following limitations:
i. The side- and rear-yard setbacks are at least four feet. If the existing multifamily dwelling has a rear or side yard setback of less than four feet, the city will not require any modification to the multifamily dwelling as a condition of approving the ADU.

Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 29 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 5 ii. The peak height above grade does not exceed the applicable height limit in subsection E.2. below.
iii. If the lot has an existing multifamily dwelling, the quantity of detached ADUs does not exceed the number of primary dwelling units on the lot.

2. ADU permit.
a. Except as allowed under subsection D.1 of this section, no ADU may be created without a building permit and an ADU permit in compliance with the standards set forth in subsections E and F of this section. b. The city may charge a fee to reimburse it for costs incurred in processing ADU permits, including the costs of adopting or amending the city’s ADU ordinance.

The ADU permit processing fee is determined by the zoning administrator and approved by the city council by resolution.

3. Process and timing.
a. An ADU permit is considered and approved ministerially, without discretionary review or a hearing.
b. The city must approve or deny an application to create an ADU or JADU within 60 days from the date that the city receives a completed application. If the city has not approved or denied the completed application within 60 days, the application is deemed approved unless either:
i. The applicant requests a delay, in which case the 60-day time period is tolled for the period of the requested delay; or
ii. When an application to create an ADU or JADU is submitted with a permit application to create a new single-family or multifamily dwelling on the lot, the city may delay acting on the permit application for the ADU or JADU until the city acts on the permit application to create the new single-family or multifamily dwelling, but the application to create the ADU or JADU will still be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. c. If the city denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the city must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Notice of the denial and corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the 60-day time period established by subsection D.3.b. above.
d. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.

E. General ADU and JADU requirements. The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under subsection D.1 or D.2 of this section:

1. Zoning.

Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 30 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 6 a. An ADU or JADU subject only to a building permit under subsection D.1 of this section may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone. b. An ADU or JADU subject to an ADU permit under subsection D.2 of this section may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use.

2. Height.
a. Except as otherwise provided by subsections E.2.b. and E.2.c. below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed 16 feet in height. b. A detached ADU may be up to 18 feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single-family or multifamily dwelling unit that is located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of 20 feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit. c. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed 18 feet in height.
d. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed 25 feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ADUs subject to this subsection E.2.d. may not exceed two stories. e. For purposes of this section E.2., height is measured above existing grade to the peak of the structure.

3. Fire sprinklers.
a. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
b. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.

4. Rental term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than 30 days.

5. No separate conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).

6. Septic system. If the ADU or JADU will connect to an on-site water-treatment system, the owner must include with the application a percolation test completed Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 31 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 7 within the last five years or, if the percolation test has been recertified, within the last 10 years.

7. Owner occupancy.
a. ADUs are not subject to owner-occupancy requirements. b. As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person’s legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owner-occupancy requirement of this subsection does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.

8. Deed restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the county recorder’s office and a copy filed with the administrator. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the city and must provide that:
a. The ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling. b. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this section.
c. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
d. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the zoning administrator, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The zoning administrator may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the zoning administrator’s determination consistent with other provisions of this code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this code.
e. The deed restriction is enforceable by the zoning administrator or designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.

9. Income reporting. In order to facilitate the city’s obligation to identify adequate sites for housing in accordance with Chapter 13 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code, each building-permit application must include an Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 32 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 8 estimate of the projected annualized rent that will be charged for the ADU or JADU.

10. Building and safety.
a. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection E.10.b. below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements. b. No change of occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or a code enforcement officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection E.10.b. prevents the city from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.

F. Specific ADU requirements. The following requirements apply only to ADUs that require an ADU permit under subsection D.2 of this section:

1. Maximum size.
a. The maximum size of a detached or attached ADU subject to this subsection is 1,200 square feet.
b. An attached ADU that is created on a lot with an existing primary dwelling is further limited to 50% of the floor area of the existing primary dwelling. c. Application of other development standards in this subsection, such as FAR or lot coverage, might further limit the size of the ADU, but no application of FAR, lot coverage, front setback, landscaping or open-space requirements may require the ADU to be less than 800 square feet.

2. Setbacks. ADUs subject to this subsection shall comply with the following setbacks, subject to subsection F.1.c of this section. Setbacks are measured from property lines or vehicular easements, whichever is applicable. a. Attached and detached ADUs.
i. Front yard setbacks.

1. Single-family residential zoning district R-20 – 25 feet;

2. Single-family residential zoning districts PUD/PPD, R-15, R-10, R10A, R-7, R-6 – 20 feet;

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: April 21, 2025
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: SECOND READING OF THE RENEWAL OF ORDINANCE 954

REGARDING SPECIALIZED OR MILITARY EQUIPMENT

AVAILABLE FOR USE BY THE PLEASANT HILL POLICE
DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO AB 481.

SYNOPSIS
The Military Equipment Use ordinance and policy, first approved by City Council in March 2022, established guidelines for the acquisition, funding, use, and reporting of special or “military equipment,” as the term is defined in Government Code section 7070, within the City of Pleasant Hill. The ordinance and policy fulfilled the obligations set forth in Assembly Bill 481 (AB481).

Each year, the City is required to renew the ordinance and policy. At the City Council’s last meeting, the policy was renewed and the renewed ordinance received its first reading or introduction. At this meeting, the City Council should approve the ordinance’s second reading and formally adopt the renewed ordinance.

FISCAL IMPACT
There are no financial considerations for the Pleasant Hill Police Department’s existing special or military equipment and munitions.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the second reading of uncodified Ordinance No. 954, thereby adopting the renewed AB 481 Ordinance regarding Specialized or Military Equipment.

ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council may decide not to approve second reading of Ordinance 954 prohibiting use of some or all of the specialized or military equipment items. However, staff is not aware of alternative Item 9.5
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 40 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 equipment that will achieve the same objectives of safeguarding community and officer safety.

There are no reasonable alternatives that will allow the department to continue to utilize legally the numerated military equipment without Council approval.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. _____-25 APPROVING THE CITY OF PLEASANT HILL INVESTMENT POLICY EFFECTIVE JULY 1,
2025 AND DELEGATING INVESTMENT AUTHORITY TO THE

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER SERVING AS CITY TREASURER

SYNOPSIS
California state law requires the City to render a statement of Investment Policy annually to the City Council at a public meeting and the City Council to annually delegate investment authority to the City Treasurer. The Budget Committee reviewed the investment policy at its meeting on March 27, 2025, and recommended approval to City Council. The City Treasurer duties were assigned to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) by the City Manager last December. Staff recommends the Council adopt the proposed resolution approving the City of Pleasant Hill Investment Policy effective July 1, 2025, and delegating the investment authority to the CFO serving as City Treasurer.

DISCUSSION
Background
Government Code 53607 et seq. requires the City Treasurer to “render” annually to the legislative body of the local agency at a public meeting a statement of investment policy. The investment policy is intended to be a guide with specific controls for safety, liquidity, and yields. The City Manager has assigned the duties of the City Treasurer to the Chief Financial Officer.

Analysis
The City’s Investment Portfolio is managed by Chandler Asset Management (Chandler). Kara Hooks from Chandler will discuss the investment performance of the portfolio and share some insights about the markets and current trends. As of February 28, 2025, the City’s portfolio has a one-year total rate of return of 5.43% compared to the benchmark ICE BofA 1-3 Year US Treasury Index of 5.28%. The balance in the portfolio was $8,075,388.

City staff in the Finance Division consulted with the City’s professional investment advisor, Kara Hooks of Chandler Asset Management, and reviewed the City’s investment policy to confirm that it: (1) remains in compliance with California Government Code, and (2) continues to provide Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 45 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 strong safeguards for the City’s investment program. While the City’s investment policy continues to be robust, it is recommended that the City incorporate updates to the California Government Code and add additional protections recognized as industry best practices. The following are the proposed changes in the attached Investment Policy:
• Updating the position responsible for City investment to reflect the “Chief Financial Officer,” who serves as the City Treasurer.
• Authorized Investments: Included Shares of Beneficial Interest Issued by a Joint Powers Authority as an authorized investment.
• Glossary: It is recommended the City only incorporate terminology used throughout the investment policy.

On March 27, 2025, the Budget Committee reviewed the policy updates and requested additional information on the addition of “Shares of Beneficial Interest Issued by a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) as an authorized investment.” As background, the City currently has approximately $26 million in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which serves as a savings account for public agencies under Government Code Section 16429.1. LAIF is managed by the State Treasurer’s Office and has approximately 2,335 public agencies and $22.3 billion as of February 2025. LAIF’s interest payments are allocated quarterly and was 4.62% in the 4th quarter of 2024, and the weighted average maturity of investments is around 257 days. LAIF provides public agencies with safety, liquidity (funds can be withdrawn the next business day), and a return rate higher than commercial banks.

Public agencies were looking for options other than LAIF, which provided similar key features regarding safety, liquidity and return. The alternative option was shares of beneficial interested issued by a JPA, which requires the funds be managed by a professional money manger. The requirements for the investment advisor include:

1. The adviser is registered or exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. The adviser has not less than five years of experience investing in the securities and obligations authorized in Section 53601 subdivisions (a) to (q), inclusive.

3. The adviser has assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).

Chandler provided examples of these JPA’s whose Boards consist of municipal finance directors and treasurers, and each is managed by a professional money manager. Assuming the City Council were to approve the policy update, the City would only be serving as an investor into the fund.

The City would not be a member of the JPA and essentially would be only buying shares of a money market fund. The following are examples of these kind of JPAs and a brief background on each one in alphabetical order:
a. California Asset Management Program (CAMP) is managed by PFM investment advisors and has approximately $18.6 billion in assets. The weighted average maturity is approximately 36 days and the investment return for December 2024 was 4.73%.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 46 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 b. California Class is managed by Public Trust and has approximately $1.2 billion in assets.

The weighted average maturity is approximately 30 days and the investment return for December 31, 2024 was 4.64%.
c. California Trust is managed by State Street Global Advisors and has approximately $2.3 billion in assets. The weighted average maturity is approximately 36 days and the investment return for December 31, 2024 was 4.69%.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the proposed resolution approving the City of Pleasant Hill Investment Policy effective July 1, 2025, and delegate the investment authority to the Chief Financial Officer serving as the City Treasurer.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 48 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 2 CITY OF PLEASANT HILL

INVESTMENT POLICY
Effective July 1, 2025

INTRODUCTION
The investment policy of the City of Pleasant Hill is based upon State of California Government Code (CGC), 53600 et seq. The primary goals of this policy are:

1. To ensure compliance with all State and Local laws governing the investment of monies in the custody of the Chief Financial Officer.

2. To protect the principal monies entrusted to the Chief Financial Officer.

3. To meet the daily cash flow demands of the City.

4. To generate the maximum amount of investment income within the parameters of prudent risk management.

The monies entrusted to the Chief Financial Officer constitute the "Investment Portfolio" referred to in this document.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
In the City of Pleasant Hill, management responsibility for investments is herewith delegated to the Chief Financial Officer as the City Treasurer pursuant to CGC, Sections 41006 (for the City Treasurer) and 53607 et seq. The Chief Financial Officer shall establish procedures for the operation of an investment program consistent with this investment policy and shall perform investment transactions. The Chief Financial Officer may retain the services of an external investment advisor, registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These procedures will include reference to safekeeping, wire transfer agreements, banking service contracts and collateral/depository agreements. The Chief Financial Officer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken.

The City Manager shall appoint a Deputy City Treasurer who shall perform the Chief Financial Officer's duties in the absence of the Chief Financial Officer.

SCOPE
The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for investing the unexpended cash in the City Treasury. This investment policy applies to the investment activities of the City of Pleasant Hill. The invested assets of the City, with the following three exceptions, shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this policy and CGC Sections 53600 et seq. The exceptions are the Public Employees Retirement System and Deferred Compensation Funds, which are administered separately by trustees, and Bond proceeds Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 49 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 3 which are invested according to the specifications of the bond indenture.

OBJECTIVES
Objectives have been set in order to achieve the goals of this investment policy. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Pleasant Hill's investment policy are:

A. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Pleasant Hill. With each investment transaction the Chief Financial Officer shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether these losses are from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principle by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.

Further guidelines for safety of principal shall include:

1. Limiting the Portfolio's exposure to each issue and each issuer of debt.

2. Determining minimum credit requirements for firms that hold City monies.

B. Liquidity
The City of Pleasant Hill's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated.

C. Return on Investment
Return on investment shall be an average market rate of return governed by the objectives of safety and liquidity in accordance with prudent investment principles.

MATURITIES
Maturities shall be selected to anticipate cash needs, thereby eliminating the possibility of the need for forced investment liquidation. Cash flow estimates shall be prepared in a prudent manner.

The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has granted authority to make such an investment.

QUALIFIED DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Chief Financial Officer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City's Chief Financial Officer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City's policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 50 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 4 The Chief Financial Officer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
• Institutions licensed by the state and proof of FINRA certification as a brokerdealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code. • Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non-primary government dealers.
• Nationally or state-chartered banks.
• Savings or federal association (as defined in Section 5102 of the Financial Code).
• The Federal Reserve Bank.
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.

Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.

All financial institutions and securities dealers who desire to engage in investment transactions with the City of Pleasant Hill shall certify that the supervising officer has reviewed the City's investment policy and agrees to disclose potential conflicts or risks to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the firm/depository and the City of Pleasant Hill. Employees of any financial institution offering securities or investments to the City of Pleasant Hill shall be trained in the precautions appropriate to public sector investments and shall be required to familiarize themselves with the City's Investment Policy.

The City shall at least annually send a copy of the current investment policy to all dealers approved to do business with the City. Confirmation of receipt of this policy shall be considered evidence that the dealer understands the City's investment policies and intends to offer the City only appropriate investments.

Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 51 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 5 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING OF SECURITIES, AND CUSTODY
To protect against potential losses by collapse of individual securities dealers, all securities owned by the City (including collateral on repurchase agreements), shall be held in the City's name in safekeeping by a third-party custodian. Said trust department shall act as agent for the City of Pleasant Hill pursuant to a custody agreement between the bank and the City. All securities shall be received and delivered using standard delivery-versus-payment procedures. The Custodian shall provide safekeeping receipts of all securities held. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

The only exceptions to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: (i) local government investment pools; (ii) time certificates of deposit, and (iii) money market mutual funds, since these securities are not deliverable.

COLLATERALIZA TION
Certificates of Deposit: The City shall require any commercial bank or savings and loan association to deposit eligible securities with an agency of a depository approved by the State Banking Department to secure any uninsured portion of a Non-Negotiable Certificate of Deposit. The value of eligible securities as defined pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53651, pledged against a Certificate of Deposit shall be equal to 150% of the face value of the CD if the securities are classified as mortgages and 110% of the face value of the CD for all other classes of security.

Collateralization of Bank Deposits: This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in California Government Code, Section 53651.

Repurchase Agreements: The City requires that Repurchase Agreements be collateralized only by securities authorized in accordance with California Government Code:
• The securities which collateralize the repurchase agreement shall be priced at Market Value, including any Accrued Interest plus a margin. The Market Value of the securities that underlie a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities. • Financial institutions shall mark the value of the collateral to market at least monthly and increase or decrease the collateral to satisfy the ratio requirement described above.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 52 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 6 • The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.

ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Investment Officers, i.e., the Chief Financial Officer and the Deputy City Treasurer, shall be governed by the "Code of Ethics" and the "Code of Professional Conduct" of the California Municipal Treasurers Association. The Investment Officers shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which would impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

All participants in the investment process are required to comply with terms of the Political Reform Act, Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations promulgated thereunder (2 C.C.R. §§ 18110 through 18998), the City's Conflict of Interest Policy, including, without limitation, filing of Form 700, notification, and recusal obligations, and CGC section 1090 prohibitions.

INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

PRUDENCE
Pursuant to CGC, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the "prudent investor standard", which states:
"... all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law." Officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 53 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 7 reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City is governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et. seq. Within the context of these limitations, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits and minimum credit quality requirements listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased. Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment's maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

The following investments are authorized:

Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy. • The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City's investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.

REPORTING
According to state law, the Chief Financial Officer shall render an investment report no less than quarterly to the chief executive officer and the legislative body of the City.

REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Chief Financial Officer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 60 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 14 The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

The Chief Financial Officer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio's performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer's quarterly report. The Chief Financial Officer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

POLICY REVIEW
This investment policy shall be reviewed by the City Council at least annually to ensure its consistency with the overall objectives of preservation of principal, liquidity, rate of return, and its relevance to current law and financial and economic trends. Amendments and modifications to the policy shall be accepted by the City Council prior to implementation.

Respectfully submitted,

City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 67 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 1 be administered in accordance with the provisions of this policy and CGC Sections 53600 et seq. The exceptions are the Public Employees Retirement System and Deferred Compensation Funds, which are administered separately by trustees, and Bond proceeds which are invested according to the specifications of the bond indenture.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 68 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 2 OBJECTIVES
Objectives have been set in order to achieve the goals of this investment policy. The primary objectives, in priority order, of the City of Pleasant Hill's investment policy are:

A. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City of Pleasant Hill. With each investment transaction the TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall seek to ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether these losses are from securities default, broker-dealer default, or erosion of market value. The City shall seek to preserve principle by mitigating the two types of risk: credit risk and market risk.

Further guidelines for safety of principal shall include:

1. Limiting the Portfolio's exposure to each issue and each issuer of debt.

2. Determining minimum credit requirements for firms that hold City monies.

B. Liquidity
The City of Pleasant Hill's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated.

C. Return on Investment
Return on investment shall be an average market rate of return governed by the objectives of safety and liquidity in accordance with prudent investment principles.

The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has granted authority to make such an investment.

QUALIFIED DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City's TreasurerChief Financial Officer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City's policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 69 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 3 The TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City.

Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public Agency investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 70 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 4 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 71 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 5 • The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.

ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Investment Officers, i.e., the City TreasurerChief Financial Officer and the Deputy City Treasurer, shall be governed by the "Code of Ethics" and the "Code of Professional Conduct" of the California Municipal Treasurers Association. The Investment Officers shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which would impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

INTERNAL CONTROLS
The TreasurerChief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

PRUDENCE
Pursuant to CGC, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the "prudent investor standard", which states:
"... all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the Agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law." Officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual Item 9.6

RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION
Mitigating Credit Risk in the Portfolio
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the "Authorized Investments" section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 80 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 14 policy.
• The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss, in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City's risk preferences. • If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City TreasurerChief Financial Officer in a timely manner.
• If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 81 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 15 Mitigating Market Risk in the Portfolio
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

REPORTING
According to state law, the City TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall render an investment report no less than quarterly to the chief executive officer and the legislative body of the City.

REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 82 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 16 The TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio's performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Treasurer's quarterly report. The
Item 9.6
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 83 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 17 TreasurerChief Financial Officer shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark. Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

ORDINANCE (PHMC TITLE 18) AND PROPOSED UPDATED
ZONING MAP. THE PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE TO

THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT

THE GOALS, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS OF THE RECENTLY
ADOPTED 2040 GENERAL PLAN AND 2023-2031 HOUSING

ELEMENT, AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS COMPLIANCE WITH

STATE LAW, AND CLARIFY AND STREAMLINE EXISTING
PROCESSES. THE PROPOSED ZONING MAP INCLUDES THE

REZONING OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES TO COMPLY WITH THE
UNDERLYING GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION.

SYNOPSIS
The City Council is requested to provide preliminary feedback on a comprehensive update to the City’s Zoning Ordinance (PHMC Title 18), which includes all Parts as follows:
• Part 1 – Enactment and Applicability
• Part 2 – Zoning District Regulations and Development Standards • Part 3 – Regulations Applicable to all Zoning Districts • Part 4 – Permit and Entitlement Processing Procedures • Part 5 – Zoning Ordinance Administration
• Part 6 – Definitions and Land Use Classifications
The proposed comprehensive update is necessary to implement the goals, policies, and programs of the recently adopted 2040 General Plan and 2023-2031 Housing Element, as well as to address compliance with State law, and clarify and streamline existing processes. The proposed comprehensive update includes comments from the Planning Commission and the public from three previous Planning Commission Study Sessions on June 25, 2024, August 27, 2024, and October 8, 2024, and from the City Council Study Session on November 4, 2024.

The City Council is also requested to provide feedback on the updated Zoning Map, which includes the rezoning of certain properties to comply with the underlying General Plan designation.

DISCUSSION
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 91 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 Background
General Plan: The City adopted the 2040 General Plan (“General Plan”) on May 18, 2023. The General Plan is a long-range planning document that guides decision-making and establishes rules and standards for future development and improvements citywide. The General Plan included several implementation programs which outline necessary amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Housing Element: The City also adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element for 2023-2031 on May 18, 2023 (certified by the State on November 22, 2023). Like the General Plan, the Housing Element also included several implementation programs which outline necessary amendments to the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

Multi-Family and Mixed-Use Zoning Ordinance Update: On January 8, 2024, the Pleasant Hill City Council adopted Ordinance No. 967 approving the rezoning of Housing Opportunity Sites identified in the 2023-2031 Housing Element, as well as Zoning Ordinance amendments to residential land use and development standards (Chapter 18.20) and introduced new mixed-use district standards (Chapter 18.22), as well as related changes to other sections of the Ordinance.

Miscellaneous Zoning Ordinance Update: On October 7, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 970 amending various portions of the Zoning Ordinance that were determined to be necessary to comply with State law and to clarify and streamline existing processes. The processing of these specific amendments prior to completion of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance update ensures that the City’s Zoning Ordinance remains in compliance with required regulations. The ordinance went into effect on November 6, 2024, and has been incorporated into the comprehensive zoning ordinance update.

Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance Update Study Sessions: The Planning Commission has conducted three Study Sessions on the comprehensive zoning ordinance update (June 25, 2024, August 27, 2024, and October 7, 2024). Additionally, the City Council held a Study Session on November 4, 2024. Comments from all four study sessions have been incorporated in the Preliminary Draft Ordinance. Staff Reports from each Study Session have been attached for reference (Attachments Z, AA, BB & CC).

Public Comment Received To Date: A total of 38 written public comments have been received to date (Attachment EE), and a total of 11 members of the public spoke across the four Study Sessions.

Analysis
Proposed Zoning Ordinance Update
Included below is a summary of the most recent modifications to the preliminary draft of the proposed zoning ordinance update in response to the City Council’s feedback. Additionally, for clarity Staff has provided four versions of each Part as follows:

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 92 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025

1. Redlined Preliminary Draft: includes all proposed track changes (Attachments A,

E, I, M, Q, U)

2. Redlined Preliminary Draft –Required Changes: includes green highlights indicating proposed changes that reflect requirements of State Law, the City’s General Plan, and Housing Element (Attachments B, F, J, N, R, V)

3. Redlined Preliminary Draft – Best Practices: includes yellow highlights representing proposed changes that reflect best practices and are subject to the discretion of the City Council (Attachments C, G, K, O, S, W)

4. Clean Preliminary Draft: a clean version incorporating all proposed changes (Attachments D, H, L, P, T, X)

1. Enactment and Applicability (Proposed Part 1)
Part 1 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance includes chapters related to Purpose and Organization (Chapter 18.05), and Applicability and Interpretation (Chapter 18.10), of the Ordinance. Part 1 includes a revised “Organization of the Zoning Ordinance” (Chapter

18.05.030) section that reflects a proposed Ordinance outline.

The changes proposed to this Part are primarily minor in nature to clarify and refine the City’s existing provisions. There have been no changes to Part 1 since the previous City Council Study Session.

2. Zoning District Regulations and Development Standards (Proposed Part 2) Part 2 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance will include all zoning district regulations and development standards for the following districts:
• Residential
• Mixed-Use
• Commercial, Office, and Industrial
• Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Precise Plan Districts (PPD) • Hillside Planned Unit Development (HPUD)
• Overlay Districts
• Parks and Recreation Zoning District
• Open Space Zoning District
Residential Zoning Districts: In response to several public comments received, the City Council requested that Staff explore reduced front setbacks for single-family zones (currently 20 feet) because the front property line for many properties in Pleasant Hill is located several feet behind the paved portion of the street on what appears as front yards of homes. Staff has not proposed any further changes, as currently, property owners can apply for a minor exception to reduce the front yard setback from 20 feet to 16 feet, subject to certain findings (e.g., no practical alternative exists (existing PHMC Section

18.111.040)). If the City Council desires additional flexibility without requiring that homeowners seek approval of an exception, Staff requests that direction from the Council, including when reduced front setbacks may be appropriate, and by how much.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 93 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 Mangini Delu Residential Zones: The City Council had the following comments related to the Mangini Delu property at the previous Study Session:

1. Consider a single zone (instead of two zones) for the entire Mangini Delu site.

2. Include language referencing a “comprehensive master plan” requirement into the description of the new Mangini Delu zone.

In response, Staff has eliminated the two separate zones in favor of a single “Mangini Delu Residential Zoning District (RMD)” encompassing the entire site. Additionally, new language was added to the purpose of the zone, as follows: “Allowed uses and development standards in the RMD zoning district shall be established in a comprehensive, sitewide master plan to be approved prior to any development onsite, unless otherwise provided in this Chapter.”
Mixed-Use Districts: In response to comments received by the City Council at the Study Session, Staff has removed the provision requiring buildings that incorporate over 10,000 square feet of office space provide eating facilities for employees.

Park and Recreation Zoning District: The City Council had the following comments or questions related to the proposed Park and Recreation Zoning District at the previous Study Session:

1. Include language referencing the Recreation and Park District’s role and review process.

2. Add clarification for the process and height requirements for accessory structures (e.g., field lights).

3. How is noise addressed on parks adjacent to residential uses?

4. Clarify parking requirements for Rec & Park facilities.

In response, Staff has added language to the purpose and intent section of the Chapter (Proposed 18.42.010.B) outlining the structure and role of the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District (Rec & Park) to clarify that the Rec & Park has its own review process and procedures. Activities that are determined to be exempt from the section would still be subject to the District’s applicable process and procedures.

In response to comments from the District, the “Exempt Activities” section was amended to clarify that all maintenance and repairs to both landscaping and buildings are exempt activities. Additionally, tree removals are also exempt. The Land Use Regulations Table (Table 18.45-1) was amended to clarify that the maximum building and accessory structure height for the zone is 35 feet. Additionally, clarifying language was added to the “Required Permits and Entitlements” section noting that a zoning permit is required for any new accessory structure (e.g., field lights and play equipment).

Potential noise generated by District facilities would continue to be subject to the City’s noise standards contained in Part 3, Section 18.75.020. Finally, the off-street parking and loading standards applicable to Park and Recreation Facility uses were updated to defer to Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 94 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 the Zoning Administrator (Part 3, Section 18.70.030) allowing the City to review parking requirements on a case-by-case basis. For new facilities, or significant modifications to existing facilities, the Zoning Administrator could require a parking assessment to determine the appropriate parking requirements.

Open Space Zoning District: In response to comments received by the City Council at the Study Session, Staff has eliminated the proposed development standards for the Open Space Zoning District (previously proposed development standards mirrored single-family residential development). Instead, development standards will be established by the Zoning Administrator on a case-by-case basis to ensure the purpose and intent of the Open Space zone are met.

3. Regulations Applicable to all Zoning Districts (Proposed Part 3) Part 3 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance includes general provisions that apply to all zoning districts as follows:
• General Site and Development Standards
• Adult Businesses
• Cannabis
• Creek Setbacks
• Fences, Walls, and Screening
• Off-Street Parking and Loading
• Performance Standards
• Signs
• Tree Preservation
• Water-Efficient Landscaping
• Wireless Telecommunications
Besides updating the parking requirements for Park and Recreation Facilities as mentioned above (Section 18.70.030), there have been no changes to Part 3 since the previous City Council Study Session. For a summary of all proposed changes to Part 3, please refer to Attachments I-L.

4. Permit and Entitlement Processing Procedures (Proposed Part 4) Part 4 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance outlines the processing procedures for all permits and entitlements that are required by provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
• Adult Use Development Permit
• Architectural Review Permit
• Development Plan Permit
• Minor Exception
• Reasonable Accommodation
• Sign Permit
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 95 of 2120 - Monday, April 21, 2025 • Temporary Sign Permit
• Master Sign Program
• Use Permit
• Temporary Use Permit
• Variance
• Zoning Permit
There have been no changes to Part 4 since the previous City Council Study Session. For a summary of all proposed changes to Part 4, please refer to Attachments M-P.

5. Zoning Ordinance Administration (Proposed Part 5)
Part 5 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance establishes the general administrative authority and procedures for decision making of the Zoning Ordinance. This includes Chapters related to:
• General Provisions
• Amendments – General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Zoning Map • Appeals and Calls for Review
• Development Agreement
• Enforcement
• Nonconforming Provisions
• Notice Requirements
At the previous City Council Study Session, the Council requested that the proposed appeal language be modified so that all projects remain appealable to the City Council (thus eliminating the previously proposed limit on the number of appeals).

In response, Staff has amended the proposed language in Section 18.175.020.B (Right to Appeal, Call for Review, Time Limits) to allow any decision of the Planning Commission or Architectural Review Commission to be appealed to the City Council, regardless of the number of previous appeals.

6. Definitions and Land Use Classifications (Proposed Part 6) Part 6 of the proposed Zoning Ordinance includes definitions of all Land Use Classifications and Definitions of terms used throughout the ordinance. These Chapters are currently located in separate Parts of the ordinance; Staff proposes combining them into a single Part with this update to improve usability.

There have been no changes to Part 6 since the previous City Council Study Session. For a summary of all proposed changes to Part 6, please refer to Attachments U-X.

For a substantive summary of all proposed modifications, please see the City Council Staff Report from November 4, 2024 (Attachment CC).
