ITEM 9.2.

DATE: November 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Stacy Leitner, City Clerk
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BIENNIAL REVIEW AND UPDATE

TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE CITY OF

RANCHO CORDOVA PURSUANT TO THE POLITICAL REFORM ACT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution and filing of the Updated Conflict of Interest Code for the City of Rancho Cordova Designated Employees would result in the City's compliance with the Fair Political Practices Commission requirements.

BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires public agencies to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code. Under the Political Reform Act, City agencies are required to review their Conflict of Interest Code biennially and notify the City Council as to whether or not the Conflict of Interest Code needs to be amended or no amendment is required. The Rancho Cordova City Council received the 2024 Local Agency Biennial Notice at the September 16, 2024, City Council Meeting, which indicated an amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code was necessary and employees impacted by this potential amendment had been notified. A revised Conflict of Interest Code has been prepared and submitted to the City Council for adoption and approval (Attachment 4).

The Conflict of Interest Code designates positions required to file an annual Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of interests that must be reported. These statements are held by the agency as public documents, with certain positions required to file a Statement of Economic Interests directly with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), which administers the requirements of the Political Reform Act.

Elected officials and public employees who make or influence governmental decisions are required to submit a Form 700. A Form 700 1) provides information to the public about an official's personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances and 2) serves as a reminder of potential conflicts of interests so the official can abstain from making or participating in

Page 10 of 365 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.

Local agencies must review their Conflict of Interest Code biennially to ensure the Code accurately designates the appropriate positions and requires disclosure of designated officials in the appropriate disclosure category. The City of Rancho Cordova's Conflict of Interest Code was last modified in 2022. The Political Reform Act requires all positions that make or participate in making governmental decisions be designated. The biennial review of the Conflict of Interest has been completed (Attachment 3). Positions proposed to be added to the Conflict of Interest Code or amended (position title and/or disclosure category) are shown in bold and highlighted in green; positions proposed to be removed because the job title has changed or has been eliminated are shown in strikethrough.

The City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Treasurer/Administrative Services Director, and Planning Commissioners are not covered under this Code because they are mandated filers subject to the disclosure requirements set forth in Government Code Section 87200.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no fiscal impact.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND PROFESSIONAL’S RESPONSIBILITIES.

5.1 General Requirement. Professional shall indemnify, defend with counsel selected by the City, and hold harmless the City and its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Professional or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Professional shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises wholly from the negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Professional or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law.

It is understood that the duty of Professional to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Professional from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Professional acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of consideration.

5.2 PERS Indemnification. In the event that Professional or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Professional providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Professional shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any and all employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Professional or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City, and any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the City to enforce this Section.

5.3 Design Professionals. To the extent that the services under this Agreement include design professional services subject to California Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, Professional’s duty to indemnify under Sections 5.1 and 5.2 shall only be to the maximum extent permitted by California Civil Code Section 2782.8.

Professional shall have no power or authority by this Agreement to bind the City in any respect. All employees and agents hired or retained by Professional are employees and agents of Professional and not of the City. The City shall not be obligated in any way to pay any wage claims or other claims made against Professional by any such employees or agents, or any other person resulting from performance of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other City, state, or federal policy, rule, regulation, law, or ordinance to the contrary, Professional and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors providing services under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby agree to waive any and all claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City, including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to any contribution to be paid by City for employer contributions and/or employee contributions for PERS benefits.

ITEM 9.4.

DATE: November 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Albert Stricker, Public Works Director
Quoc Nham, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 172-2019-2 WITH SALABER AND
ASSOCIATES, INC. TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FROM
$2,850,000 TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $4,850,000 AND
EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM FROM JUNE 30, 2025, TO JUNE 30, 2027, FOR ON-CALL CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION AND

ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 172-2019-2 with Salaber and Associates, Inc. to increase the contract amount from $2,850,000 to an amount not to exceed $4,850,000 and to extend the contract term from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
In order to provide flexibility to adapt to a variable development, design, and construction market, the Public Works Department employs the assistance of qualified consultants to provide construction inspection and engineering development services for the City of Rancho Cordova. This is an on-call contract that allows the City to draw on greater resources for projects, thus increasing the ability to handle workload peaks and maintain efficient response times.

The City previously entered into Professional Services Agreement Contract No. 172-2019 with Salaber Associates, Inc. to provide construction inspection and engineering development services for private development projects. The original agreement was executed on December 16, 2019, with the term to expire on December 31, 2022, for an amount not to exceed $1,500,000.

Contract Amendment No. 172-2019-1 was to extend the contract term from December 31, 2022, to June 30, 2025, which resulted in an increase to the maximum compensation from $1,500,000 to an amount not to exceed $2,850,000 to allow Salaber Associates, Inc to continue

Page 64 of 365 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

to provide construction inspection and engineering development services for private development projects.

The high pace of development required commensurate inspection and a need to increase the contract amount. The purpose of Contract Amendment No. 172-2019-2 is to increase the total compensation amount from $2,850,000 to an amount not to exceed $4,850,000 and extend the contract term from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2027, for continued on-call construction inspection and engineering development services.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
Engineering support of development projects is directly billed to the development projects.

These consulting services do not impact the City's General Fund.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Dalia Fadl, Principal Engineer
Albert Stricker, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION DECLARING A PROTEST HEARING AND

AUTHORIZING THE MAILING OF PROPERTY OWNER BALLOT

RELATING TO THE IMPOSITION OF THE ANNUAL STORMWATER

UTILITY FEE FOR THE SUNRIDGE PARK III PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would declare the results of the property owner's protest and, if there exists less than a majority protest, authorize the mailing of a ballot to the property owner to approve the levy of the fee to pay for maintenance of storm drainage and flood protection systems for the Sunridge Park III project. The action also sets 1:30 p.m. on November 26, 2024, in the office of the City Clerk, as the time and date for the ballot tabulation for the matter.

BACKGROUND
The Sunridge Park III project has a condition of approval which requires funding for operation and maintenance of the storm drainage system. This condition will be satisfied by participation in the new Stormwater Utility Fee for storm drainage and flood protection services, which is the subject of tonight’s action. The property owner of the Sunridge Park III project has requested the City annex the project to the City’s Stormwater Utility Fee pursuant to the California Health and Safety Code section 5471 et seq. to provide the method of financing for storm drainage and flood protection services required to meet the condition. On October 21, 2024, Council adopted a Resolution which established Procedures for the Conduct of a Protest Hearing and Balloting Relating to a Stormwater Utility Fee (the “Procedures”) and designated Novemebr 4, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. as the time and place for hearing protests in connection with the annual Stormwater Utility Fee for the Sunridge Park III project.

DISCUSSION
The property owner has submitted a petition and waiver for the City to institute the proceedings to participate in the Stormwater Utility Fee. This annexation to the Stormwater Utility Fee will include the project generally known as the Sunridge Park III project, see Attachment 2. The maintenance services to be funded include the furnishing of services and materials for the

Page 77 of 365 ends

ordinary and usual operation, maintenance, and servicing of the storm drain and flood protection systems.

Attachment 1 is the Resolution declaring the results of the property owner's protest and authorizing the mailing of the property owner ballot, as required by Article XIII D of the California Constitution (also known as Proposition 218). The Resolution sets forth the tabulation of ballots on November 26, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. in the office of the City Clerk. The results of the mailed ballot election will be presented to City Council at their regularly scheduled meeting on December 16, 2024, and additional actions will be recommended based on the ballot results.

A “Rate Analysis Report” was approved by the City Council on September 4, 2014, by Resolution No. 103-2014 setting Fiscal Year 2014-15 maximum annual Stormwater Utility Fee amount for each parcel proportionate to the estimated stormwater runoff for each parcel (see Attachment 3). The maximum annual fee will increase each subsequent Fiscal Year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year, for All Urban Consumers, for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose areas, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. A sample of the Stormwater Utility Fees for Fiscal Year 2024-25 is summarized in Attachment 4.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no impact on the City’s General Fund. Funds collected by this fee will pay for maintenance of storm drainage and flood protection systems.

Stormwater Utility Fee
Rate Analysis Report Page 1
Q:\Sacramento\Storm Drain User Fee\Report\rancho cordova drainage fee rpt DRAFT 08.6.14.docx Introduction
The City of Rancho Cordova (City) is detaching from the County of Sacramento fee and is creating their own Stormwater Utility Fee, which is being levied per the California Health and Safety Code Section 5471 et seq.

The purpose of this Rate Analysis Report is to:
 Review the Stormwater Utility Fee and improvements to be funded.  Review the requirements of Article XIIID of the State Constitution (Proposition 218) relating to requirements for apportioning the costs associated with the City’s stormwater runoff system.  Analyze and recommend an appropriate rate structure and provide estimated rates based on cost data information provided by the City.

Proposition 218 Requirements
This fee must comply with the provisions of Article XIIID of the California Constitution (Proposition 218). Section 6 of Proposition 218 has the following requirements for all “new, extended, imposed or increased” fees and charges:
1) “Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property-related service.”
2) “Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed.”
3) “The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.” 4) “No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. Fees or charges based on potential or future use of service are not permitted. Standby charges, whether characterized as charges or assessments, shall be classified as assessments and shall not be imposed without compliance with [the assessment section of this code].” 5) “No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services including, but not limited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.” Background Information
In accordance with the Federal Clean Water Act of 1972, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to establish regulations setting forth National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit standards. The enactment of 1987 amendments to the Federal Clean Water Act (Act) of 1972 imposes permit requirements for discharge of storm waters. The Act allows the EPA to delegate its NPDES permitting authority to states with an approved environmental regulatory program. The State of California is one of the delegated states.

The responsibility for implementing various NPDES permits in the State of California has been delegated to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The SWRCB administers NPDES authority through its nine Regional Boards. As an NPDES permittee, the City is required to manage stormwater pollution within its jurisdiction.

Q:\Sacramento\Storm Drain User Fee\Report\rancho cordova drainage fee rpt DRAFT 08.6.14.docx In order to provide for the safety of the residents of the City and protect property in the City from the damage associated with flooding and to meet the requirements of the NPDES permit, it is necessary to design, construct, operate, maintain, improve and replace storm drainage facilities which collect storm and surface water runoff and convey and treat such runoff in a safe manner to an acceptable point of discharge. It is also necessary to inspect, monitor, and take enforcement action related to illegal dumping, and illicit discharges. In order to properly fund such facilities and activities, the City has determined that it is necessary to impose on all developing properties in Rancho Cordova a user charge for storm drainage service.

Based on the 2030 General Plan and current specific plan areas, Rancho Cordova is expected to develop as shown in Table 1 below. The proposed boundary for the stormwater utility is shown in Appendix A.

Rate Structure Analysis
Section 6.b of Article XIIID of the State Constitution (Proposition 218) states that:
“The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.” and
“No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.” By definition, all properties that shed stormwater into the City’s stormwater drainage system use, or are served by, the City’s stormwater drainage system. The amount of use attributed to each parcel is measurable by the amount of storm runoff contributed by the property, which is directly proportional to the amount of impervious area on a parcel (such as buildings and concrete). The more impervious area on a property, the more storm runoff the property generates, the more demand placed on the storm drain system.

The amount each parcel uses the stormwater drainage system is computed by the following formula:
(Parcel Area) x (Impervious Percentage) = Drainage Units The typical percent impervious (% Impervious) for land uses in the City, have been applied for the purposes of estimating the runoff generated by each property. These are shown in Appendix B.

The more Drainage Units a parcel has, the more storm run-off it generates, and the more it uses and impacts the stormwater drainage system.

It is standard practice to relate other land uses to a developed single family residential (SFR) parcel, instead of working exclusively with drainage units. The median size of a SFR parcel will be approximately 0.16 acre. Therefore, it makes sense to relate all parcels to this median residential property. The runoff from a 0.16-acre SFR parcel is set equal to one Drainage Measurement Unit (DMU) and this base DMU is calculated as follows:
(0.16 acres of area) x 50% = 0.0800 Impervious Area = 1 DMU

Q:\Sacramento\Storm Drain User Fee\Report\rancho cordova drainage fee rpt DRAFT 08.6.14.docx Single Family Residential Parcels
As a SFR property increases in size over the median parcel size, the typical percentage of impervious area decreases, as shown in Appendix B. Conversely, as a SFR parcel decreases in size below the median parcel size, the typical percentage of impervious area increases, and such increase is typically proportional to the decrease in size. Therefore, SFR properties are separated into five (5) groups.

The median parcel area for each group was used and their DMUs are calculated as follows:

SFR Category DMU/ Formula
SFR1 – SFR parcels 0.16 acres or less 1.00 DMU
SFR2 – SFR parcels 0.17 - 0.25 acres 1.10 DMUs
SFR3 – SFR parcels 0.26 – 0.33 acres 1.175 DMUs
SFR4 – SFR parcels 0.34 – 0.50 acres 1.25 DMUs
SFR5 – SFR parcels greater than 0.50 acres 1.25 + [(acres – 0.50) x 5%] = DMUs

0.0800
Multi-Family Residential Parcels
Multi-Family Residential (MFR) units (including condominiums) are split into categories by the density, or number of dwelling units per acre (DU/Ac) as follows:

MFR Category Density % Impervious
MFR1 - High Density Greater than 18 DU/Ac 75%
MFR 2 - Med Density 10 – 18 DU/Ac 70%
Acreage x %Impervious = DMUs

0.0800
Condominium unit parcel areas are calculated by dividing the total area of the condominium complex (which includes the common area) by the number of condominium units, and the total imperviousness of the entire complex is attributed to each individual condo parcel in the complex. (This divides the runoff of the entire complex to each of the individual units.) Because these condominium common areas are taken into consideration in this manner, they are exempt from the charge.

Non- Residential Parcels
All non-residential parcel DMUs will be based on the impervious area (runoff coefficient) table shown in Exhibit B, using the following formula:

Acreage x %Impervious = DMUs

0.0800
All parcels draining into Rancho Cordova Stormwater Utility Fee-maintained drainage infrastructure are proposed to be charged the same user fee rate per DMU for stormwater runoff treatment. The Rancho Cordova Stormwater Utility Fee is proposed in perpetuity.

For the purposes of this report, City-maintained drainage infrastructure includes streets, pipes, inlets, outlets, and natural drainage courses. Parcels related to these types of property uses are exempt from the runoff charge, as they are part of the infrastructure being funded. Also exempt from the runoff charge is Caltrans right-of-way, because Caltrans handles its own runoff under a separate NPDES permit.

Table 4 below shows the estimated costs to maintain infrastructure in the developing areas. Unit costs for maintenance were derived using budget information provided by the County, since the County currently maintains the storm drainage system. The budget information is shown in Appendix C.

Table 4 – Estimated Costs
Fee Calculations
The estimated annual costs for the proposed storm drain improvements are $5,401,709 as shown in Table 4 above. Dividing that by the total number of proposed DMU’s in Rancho Cordova (47,124), the maximum estimated annual Stormwater Utility Fee rate is $114.63 per DMU.

This would be the proposed maximum fee rate for fiscal year 2014-15. The maximum rate will be increased each subsequent Fiscal Year by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), during the preceding year, for All Urban Consumers, for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose areas, published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (or a reasonably equivalent index should the stated index be discontinued, as determined by the Director of Public Works).

The Preliminary Charge Roll, which is a listing of each parcel to be charged a fee and its proposed maximum fee for FY 2014-15, is on file in the office of the City Clerk.

Appeals Process
If a property owner disagrees with the calculation of his or her fee, based on the parcel area and estimated impervious percentage assigned to the property, then the property owner may appeal the calculation as follows:

1. Property owner must provide written documentation explaining the reason why the charge should be changed. This documentation must include:
a. The name, phone number, mailing address, and email address, if available, of the property owner.
b. The Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) of the property in question.

2. If additional documentation is required or insufficient documentation was submitted, a representative of the Department of Public Works (Staff) will notify the property owner in writing.

3. Once Staff has determined that sufficient documentation has been submitted, Staff will perform the initial review. Staff will notify the property owner in writing within four (4) weeks from the time sufficient documentation was submitted as to whether or not the fee amount will be changed.
a. If the determination is to change the fee amount, then the new fee amount will be documented within the City’s fee database.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would confirm the 2025 Rancho Cordova City Council meeting schedule.

BACKGROUND
To ensure maximum attendance of Council Members and the community in our legislative process, we prepare an annual meeting schedule. We also monitor local, state, and national events, including events and conferences hosted by the League of California Cities, National League of Cities, Cordova Community Council, and Rancho Cordova Area Chamber of Commerce.

As part of its annual business planning for the upcoming year, the City Council reviews next year's calendar and determines its meeting schedule for the following year. Exhibit A to the attached Resolution (Attachment 2) is the proposed City Council Meeting dates for 2025. Under Assembly Bill No. 2449 (AB 2449), a legislative body can hold a "hybrid" (partial teleconference, partial in-person) meeting without having to meet certain requirements. However, the City will be required to have a quorum of Council Members at a physical location for each meeting.

Under AB 2449, individual Council Members have the option to participate remotely in meetings for "just cause" no more than twice in a calendar year, and "emergency circumstances," limited to no more than three consecutive months or 20% of the City's Regular meetings per year.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no fiscal impact.

DATE: November 4, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Albert Stricker, Public Works Director
Kristine Courdy, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT PLAN

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Corridor Enhancement Plan.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff would incorporate feedback and receive and file the final Corridor Enhancement Plan.

BACKGROUND
The City of Rancho Cordova desires to have cohesive gateway entryways and corridors in the City that portray a sense of storytelling and placemaking. Rancho Cordova General Plan Action ID.2.3.2 recommends establishing a gateway program to create a sense of entry at key locations throughout the City and promote wayfinding throughout the community. Therefore, staff developed the Corridor Enhancement Plan to establish a guide and concept plan for enhancing six City entryways and corridors. The Corridor Enhancement Plan focuses on aesthetic improvements including signage, streetscapes and complete street elements. The scope of work included community outreach to solicit feedback on the opportunities for enhancement, design concepts and the overall plan.

On September 6, 2022, the City Council awarded a contract to Dewberry Engineers, Inc. to complete the Corridor Enhancement Plan. As part of the Project, community outreach was performed, such as conducting two online surveys with 200 respondents and hosting two community meetings where about 25 residents attended and shared feedback. On April 2, 2024, staff presented the Project to the City Council, and incorporated feedback into the plan.

The Council feedback incorporated included updating plant species selection, selecting appropriate plants for vehicular and pedestrian sight lines and providing a variety of blooming wildflowers on each corridor. The final Corridor Enhancement Plan is being brought forth for the City Council to receive and file the final Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
Funding for this project is captured in the Fiscal Year 2023-25 Capital Improvement Plan budget and paid through Measure R and Infrastructure Replacement fund.

Old Placerville Road, Routier Road, Mather
Field Road, Zinfandel Drive, and Sunrise
Boulevard. Through this Plan, creative designs
that reflect the community’s characteristics
and values to create a sense of pride and
identity will be employable and include
improvements such as streetscape design,
landscaping, wayfinding signs, sidewalk
enhancements, and more.

The project team developed a Design Palette and
Toolkit to guide future enhancements in the plan's
corridors and study areas (Chapter 04). This chapter
ensures that cohesive and reflective enhancements
are implemented along the study corridors included
in this plan.

How to use the Plan
and the associated
Toolkit?
When presented with new
opportunities or upon securing
funding for city improvements,
particularly within the specified
study areas of this plan, the Design
Toolkit chapter serves as the
primary guide for making design
decisions. This entails establishing
overarching themes, determining
suitable plant and landscaping
options, and selecting appropriate
art and lighting installations. The
formulation of this plan involved
direct outreach with the
community to identify their
priorities and gain a
comprehensive understanding of
the streetscape and corridor
enhancements that will best
embody the essence of Rancho
Cordova.

City of Rancho Cordova | Corridor Enhancement Plan 7
About the Plan
Rancho Cordova is located along the
American River in Sacramento County,
about 13.4 miles east of downtown
Sacramento. It covers an area of
approximately 34.1 square miles and is home
to over 81,000 people.

The City of Rancho Cordova has a history
rooted in the American River, agriculture,
the gold rush, Mather Air Force Base, and
aviation. It became an independent City on
July 1, 2003.

Today, the city is an emerging urban center
with a small-town feel. Our workforce of
65,000+ makes us one of the largest
employment centers in the region, and our
over 81,000 residents enjoy new and
existing homes for every budget and
lifestyle.

Whether you call us the All-America City,
Playful City USA, or Tree City USA, our
friendly and safe neighborhoods reflect
diversity, opportunity, partnerships, and fun,
making Rancho Cordova a community
where anyone can live, work, learn, and play.

The History of Rancho Cordova
01 The Corridor
Enhancement Plan
was developed with
the goal of improving
and beautifying key
corridors and
entrances to the city.

The Plan focuses on
six key corridors,
namely Bradshaw
Road, Old Placerville
Road, Routier Road,
Mather Field Road,
Zinfandel Drive, and
Sunrise Boulevard.

Through this Plan,
creative designs that
reflect the
community’s
characteristics and
values to create a
sense of pride and
identity will be
employable and
include
improvements such
as streetscape
design, landscaping,
wayfinding signs,
sidewalk
enhancements, and
more.

inspire pride, and foster a
greater sense of community and
belonging for all residents.

Primary corridors include
Bradshaw Road, Mather Field
Road, Zinfandel Drive, Sunrise
Boulevard, Routier Road, and
Old Placerville Road. The study
corridors are shown in Figure 1,
on page 9.

Plan Purpose
E xcerpt from R ancho Cordova General Plan, Urban Design E lement, 20 0 6 Gateways can be both the entrances into the City and into individual districts and design techniques for public spaces that help users identify where they are in the community and how to get around.

Existing Conditions
To kick off the Rancho Cordova Corridor
Enhancement Plan, the project team
assessed the corridor study areas and
analyzed existing conditions. Site visits were
conducted to observe and document
existing conditions. A crucial component of
developing the existing conditions was to
better understand how the corridor
functions and the people it serves. The
primary goal of this plan is to provide a
toolkit and recommendations for aesthetic
enhancements while staying true and
representative of the people who make
Rancho Cordova the vibrant community it is
today. This plan is an opportunity to
enhance the study corridors' beauty and
functionality while honoring the
community's unique character. To establish
a shared baseline understanding of existing
conditions, key issues, and opportunity
areas, this section includes the following
components:

City of Rancho Cordova | Corridor Enhancement Plan 15
General Character
Bradshaw Road is at the City’s western
border, with a shared jurisdiction with the
city and the County. At the time of this
report, the current maintenance
agreement with the County requires the
County to maintain Bradshaw Road.

Context Zone/ Land Use
The Bradshaw corridor study area is
situated in an urban context and consists
of various small blocks connecting to
residential neighborhoods. The area
includes retail and office buildings, both
detached and attached low-rise
structures, generally one to two stories
high. These buildings are positioned at
varying distances from the road, with
some featuring ample landscaping
between sidewalks and parking lots. The
study area encompasses commercial
areas, medium-density residential
neighborhoods, the Drive-In Theatre,
Edward Kelly Preschool, Sierra School,
Plaza, and government offices such as the
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation, the Sacramento Area
Sewer District, and Joint Force
Headquarters.

Traffic Volumes/Collisions
Based on Replica data, the corridor area
has an average daily traffic of 46,300,
with 99% of trips by private vehicles and
less than 1% by walking, biking, or public
transportation. According to SWITRS,
there were 15 vehicle collisions near the
corridor between 2017 and 2022. Of
these, 13% caused severe injuries, 7%
resulted in moderate injuries, and the
remaining 87% let to minor injuries.

Multimodal Facility
The road has 5-foot wide sidewalks on
both sides with designated pedestrian
crossings. However, on the west side
between Business Park Drive and Qates
Drive, the crosswalks are unmarked.

There are also Class II bike lanes on both
sides, but the pavement markings for
bicyclists are not continuous from Old
Placerville Road and Bradshaw Road to
Micron Avenue. Bus routes 72 and 19, run
by SacRT and Elk Grove Transit, connect
to the Folsom Boulevard & Bradshaw
Road Light Rail Stations at Folsom
Boulevard and Bradshaw Road
intersection.

Placerville Road.

Context Zone/Land Use
The Old Placerville corridor study area is
in a suburban residential/industrial zone.

It includes a mix of residential, retail, and
industrial buildings, with large blocks of
land accommodating various sized
detached buildings. These buildings range
from one-story office structures to two or
three-story buildings, mostly low-rise in
nature. Some of these structures are
residential, with small gaps between
fences and the road at the front line, while
others are commercial, with large
setbacks between the sidewalk and
parking areas. The corridor study area
mainly consists of commercial areas and
established low-density residential
neighborhoods. Key destinations in the
area include the Plaza on Bradshaw Rd,
Lincoln Village Park, and the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Traffic Volume/Collisions
The Average Daily Traffic for the Study
Area is estimated to be 12,000, with 93%
of trips taken by private vehicles, 5% on
foot, and 1% by biking. From 2017 to 2022,
there were 11 vehicle collisions within or
near the study area. 9% resulted in severe
injuries involving fixed objects, 9% caused
moderate injuries, and the remaining 82%
led to minor injuries, mainly complaints of
pain. Figure 4. Old Placerville Road Land Use and

Community Survey Summary
During the workshop, participants were
requested to inscribe a word characterizing
Rancho Cordova on a post-it note.

Numerous attendees conveyed favorable
descriptors such as Active, Engaged,
Inclusive, and Responsive.

One Word to Describe
Rancho Cordova
Community surveys were created to support community workshops and enable members who were unable to attend in person to participate in the project and have an impact on the associated outcomes. MetroQuest, an online, interactive public engagement platform, was used for both surveys.

Survey summaries are included in Appendix D and E.

Community Survey #1
The first survey was open for two months, from April to June 2023. This initial survey introduced the project and its goals. It allowed respondents to provide feedback on beautification components such as signage, public art, lighting, trees and planting, paving improvements, and walls and fences. Participants were also asked to provide feedback on the corridors and study areas’ plans and identify areas needing improvement. The first community survey received responses from 101 individuals.

Community Survey #2
The second survey was open for two months, from January to March 2024. It was based on the results of the first workshop and survey, which had been used to refine it. In this survey, participants were asked to rank features such as city street beautification, highway beautification, community art, and lighting. They were also asked to prioritize the corridors they believed should receive enhancements.

Concept Plans &
Design Toolkit
04 The plan's development followed a systematic approach, with two processes occurring simultaneously. From the outset, the City sought to investigate opportunities for enhancement along the primary corridors of Rancho Cordova, namely Bradshaw Road, Mather Field Road, Routier Road, Old Placerville Road, Zinfandel Drive, and Sunrise Boulevard. Concurrently, an Existing Conditions Analysis was conducted during the initial round of outreach. The project team identified opportunity areas from the Existing Conditions Assessment, leading to the prioritization of community corridors and community corridor segments in the second round of public outreach.

Based on the outcomes of both rounds of public outreach, the project team crafted a Design palette, which was then presented to the City Council on February 2, 2024. Following feedback from the City Council, the project team further refined the design palette and ultimately developed a Toolkit Matrix to be applied to any future enhancement projects along any of the studied corridors. The Design Toolkit provides guidance for enhancement projects, that aims at preserving Rancho Cordova's unique identity while allowing each corridor to display its distinct character.

In the following pages, vignettes are available to help demonstrate how the toolkit may be applied to typical streetscapes, medians, and highway frontages. The Design Toolkit unique set of design elements for each of the study corridors.

In this section, you will find:
• Typical Streetscape Vignette
• Typical Highway Frontage Vignette
• Typical Median and Creative Paving Vignette
• Design Toolkit Matrix
• Study Area Opportunity and Maintenance Zone Maps

FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION
The city has the option to utilize various funding sources to finance corridor enhancement projects (see Table 3). Being aware of these funding sources will allow the city to strategically align projects to meet the specific requirements of each funding source. Since most of the outlined enhancements in this document are beautification projects, the most straightforward approach for implementing any of the enhancements is through local funds. However, in certain situations, there may be an opportunity to integrate beautification and enhancement with other projects, such as a bike and pedestrian multimodal facility, which could encompass the multimodal pathway and enhance its surroundings, including landscaping. Table 3, lists previous and existing funding opportunities that may be able to help implement the enhancement identified in this plan.

1. Overview
This memorandum summarizes the existing conditions and highlights areas of opportunity for the Rancho Cordova Corridor Enhancement Plan (Plan). The Project Area covers segments of the major thoroughfares in the City. As part of the Plan, the project team will engage Rancho Cordova stakeholders and community members to identify areas of opportunity; challenging street conditions such as missing bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure; areas where streets and sidewalks could incorporate landscaped areas; and potential areas to create comfortable places for residents to enjoy.

1.1 Plan Purpose, Goals, and Objectives
The Rancho Cordova Corridor Enhancement Plan seeks to identify opportunities to enhance and beautify the major thoroughfares in the City, distinguishing the city and its unique characteristics for visitors and residents. The project will solicit community feedback to create designs that respond to the character and history of the City to establish a sense of place, including streetscape, landscaping, signage, and other road-side features. The Plan will establish priorities and visualize improvements to guide future implementation. The result will be corridor enhancement plans for Bradshaw Road, Old Placerville Road, Routier Road, Mather Field Road, Zinfandel Drive, and Sunrise Boulevard.

Project Goals and Objectives
Develop concept plan and guide for the
enhancement of key corridors and entrances in
the city.
• Distinguish the city and its unique
characteristics for visitors and residents
• Promote a sense of place and community
identity
• Identify opportunities for the City to
enhance aesthetics
• Create streetscape designs with themes
that are oriented toward and inviting to
pedestrians and cyclists and that are
unique in character to a corridor
• Establish process and decision matrix to
prioritize improvements
• Tie key elements of plan to future funding
opportunities
The project implements Policies and Actions
from the General Plan Urban Design Element,
specifically Policies UD.2.6.8 and UD 2.3.2.

Implementation of General Plan Policies
and Actions
Policy UD.2.6 - Create streetscape designs with
themes that are oriented toward and inviting to
pedestrians and cyclists and that are unique in
character to a district, corridor, or area within the City.

Action UD.2.6.8 - Develop and implement
streetscape enhancement plans for Folsom Boulevard, Coloma Road, Sunrise Boulevard, Mather Field Road, and other
roadways of community importance.

Policy UD.2.3 - Transition the density and
intensity of uses from an urban to rural character with a clear City edge and establish a sense of entry and
arrival to the City that is welcoming.

Action UD.2.3.2 - Establish a gateway
program to create a sense of entry at key locations throughout the City and promote wayfinding throughout the community.

Use creative designs that respond to the character and history of the City to establish a sense of place, including gateway signage, streetscape design, site landscaping, and other features. Users should feel a sense of arrival and be welcomed to the City.

1.2 Study Area and Focus Corridors
The study area encompasses six major corridors and entry points within the City of Rancho Cordova.

1. Bradshaw Road – US 50 Overcrossing

2. Old Placerville Road – Bradshaw Road to Routier Road

3. Routier Road – US 50 Overcrossing

4. Mather Field Road – International Drive to Folsom Boulevard, US 50 (Note: Coordinate w/ Mather Field Road Enhancements Project)

5. Zinfandel Road – White Rock to Folsom Boulevard, US 50 and at City limit (Note: Coordinate w/ Zinfandel Pedestrian Overcrossing Project)

6. Sunrise Boulevard – Folsom Boulevard to Zinfandel, at US 50

7. Sunrise Boulevard at Jackson Highway (Note: Coordinate w/ Sunrise Widening – Kiefer Boulevard to Jackson Highway Project

8. Rancho Parkway Interchange – US 50 (Note: Coordinate with Rancho Cordova Parkway Project) Figure 1. Study Area and Focus Corridors

1.3 Approach and Framework
Analysis and future recommendations will employ a number of approaches and street design concepts such as Streetscape, Placemaking, Green Infrastructure, Complete Streets, and Context Sensitive Solutions. There is no singular design prescription for each of these; each one is unique and responds to its community context. Many of these include similar elements and basic principles centered around designing the street for all users and abilities and designing for community context and place.

This project focuses on improvements within the streetside and traveled way of public right of way, or public realm. This includes areas such as sidewalks and curbs, landscape areas, medians, street furnishing zones, bike lanes, plazas, and travel ways.

Streetscape refers to urban roadway design and conditions as they impact street users and nearby residents. Streetscaping recognizes that streets are places where people engage in various activities, ITEM 12.2. ATTACHMENT 1

Page 160 of 365 ends

T E C H N I C A L M E M O R A N D U M 4 O F 28
including but not limited to motor vehicle travel. Streetscapes are an important component of the public realm (public spaces where people interact), which help defines a community’s aesthetic quality, identity, economic activity, health, social cohesion and opportunity, not just its mobility. Streetscaping (programs to improve streetscape conditions) can include changes to the road cross section, traffic management, sidewalk conditions, landscaping (particularly tree cover), street furniture (utility poles, benches, garbage cans, etc.), building fronts, and materials specifications. It also involves improving signage. 12 Complete streets refer to roadway design and operating practices intended to safely accommodate diverse users and activities, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, public transport users, people with disabilities, plus adjacent businesses and residents. Complete streets planning recognizes that roadways often serve diverse functions including through travel, recreational walking, socializing, vending, and nearby living, which must be considered and balanced in roadway design and management.

Placemaking is the process of adding value and meaning to the public realm through community-based revitalization projects rooted in local values, history, culture, and natural environment. In designing for the enhancement of place, it is essential to consider the various aspects of local culture and context throughout the design and implementation process to ensure contextually sustainable streets.

Context sensitive solutions use innovative and inclusive approaches that integrate and balance community, aesthetic, historic and environmental values with transportation safety, maintenance and performance goals. Context sensitive solutions are reached through a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach involving all stakeholders.

Green infrastructure, or urban nature solutions, can be defined as “infrastructure that is serving a purpose within a city [with a] foundation that is built on already existing natural functions — either trying to mimic those natural functions or enhance those natural functions — in a way that integrates urban living with nature.” These solutions include street trees, bodies of water, parks, green stormwater infrastructure, urban forests and more.

The following categories are important to defining a place and are used to define the character of each corridor:
• Built environment
• Natural environment
• Social and cultural context
• Economic environment

2.2.4 Land Uses and Destinations / Points of Interest
Rancho Cordova is one of the largest employment centers along the US 50 corridor within the Sacramento Region. US 50 serves as a dividing line between the north and south of Rancho Cordova, and primarily new developments, including commercial, residential, and office mixed uses, are underway in the south.

The six major corridors identified are primary access to the City. They are entry points of the City connecting the origins and destinations and have predominantly residential and commercial use mixed with office and industrial use along Folsom Blvd. The key destinations bordered the focus areas contain shopping plazas, health and government services, attractions, as well as the business as listed below:
• Rancho Cordova Town Center
• Plaza (Zinfandel Plaza and Rockingham Plaza)
• West Wind Sacramento Drive in Movie Theater
• Employment Centers
• Marriott Hotel
• Grocery Store/Supermarket (Walmart, Safeway, Target)
• Schools (W.E Mitchell Middle School, Abraham Lincoln Elementary) • California Northstate University
One of the significant land use and destination is the employment centers in the Business Park areas to the southeast of Rancho Cordova. The employment centers accelerate economic diversity and growth of the business community as a home to many fortunes 500 like Mercy, Kaiser, McKesson, Vision Service Plan, Bank of America, and many others. In addition, the regional town center located south of White Rock Rd, east of Sunrise Blvd, and north of Douglas Rd, is designed as a mixed-use development for regional serving retail, office, and residential use that provides a vibrant mixed-use under Rio del Oro Specific Plan in 2003.

A major development surrounding the six study corridors is the Westborough Planning Area focused on a regional town center at the Rancho Cordova Parkway/US 50 interchange features residential developments, one or two village center(s) to serve the daily commercial needs, and office mixed-uses to provide employment opportunities associated with the regional town center use. The residential, commercial, and office mixed-use designations located at Light Rail Stations on Folsom Blvd will serve as the high-intensity development center of the city and link Light Rail stations on the north with new developments to the south of Rancho Cordova.

2.2.5 Street Network and Multimodal Connectivity
Based on data from U.S. Census, 35,520 civilians who are 16 years old and over reside in the city. Out of this population, 71.4% of individuals who commute within the city choose to drive to their workplaces.

Additionally, roughly 12% of commuters carpool, 2% take public transportation, 1.4% walk, and 0.5% bike to work.

According to the Rancho Cordova Bicycle Master Plan (2016), the City has 235 miles of roadways, 17 miles of on-street bikeways, and 14 miles of off-street paths. Primary regional connections include the American River Parkway Bicycle Trail between Discovery Park in Old Sacramento and Folsom Reservoir.

Bike lanes are present on Bradshaw Rd, Old Placerville Rd, Routier Rd, Mather Field Rd, and Zinfandel Dr, but most bike lanes are narrow and absence of buffers between bike lanes and travel lanes, except for the bike lanes on Routier Rd. On the other hand, Sunrise Blvd does not consist of any bike facilities.

Discontinuous bike lane segments occur in areas of westbound Old Placerville Rd and northbound Zinfandel Dr corridors.

The City prepared the Rancho Cordova Pedestrian Master Plan in 2011 to infill and repair sidewalks and improve pedestrian conditions at intersections. Furthermore, the city has been putting efforts into improving the sidewalk network and implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure that all pedestrians have accessible connections across the city to encourage its residents to use alternative modes of travel. All corridors include sidewalks, and they are primarily narrow for walking. Some existing sidewalks on Bradshaw Rd and Old Placerville Rd are discontinuous and have gaps in sidewalk sections, while the west side of Sunrise Blvd needs sidewalks added. The city has embarked on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing project to improve multimode access along Zinfandel Dr across to US 50, which connects to existing SacRT Light Rail Stations along Folsom Blvd and employment centers south of US 50 in conjunction with the commercial centers north of US 50 as well as to increase safety by reducing motor crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists.

2.2.6 History and Culture
In the 1800s, the Gold Rush brought many settlers to Rancho Cordova, and agriculture soon became the backbone of the local economy. During World War II, the Mather Air Force Base established nearby brought many military personnel and their families to the area in the 1950s and 1960s. Following them, service providers, from doctors and pastors to principals and salespeople, started residing in the City. The Rancho Cordova community had a 40-year endeavor to become its own City since 1960. On July 1st, 2003, Rancho Cordova officially became an incorporated City within Sacramento County.

The Mills Station Arts & Culture Center (MACC), located near the intersection between Mills Station Rd and Mater Field Rd, opened its doors in 2018 to exhibits by local artists, workshops, history displays, and cultural demonstrations. Prior to the opening of MACC, the Mills Station Building, built in 1911, was a meeting place for farmers and a stopping place for travels and has always played a role as a focal point of the Rancho Cordova community. MACC strives to incorporate with the City of Rancho Cordova, Regional Transit, Sacramento County, and the Cordova Community Council to expand local arts.

2.2.7 Natural Environment and Landscape
Rancho Cordova contains several surface water resources, including the American River, the Cosumnes River, Morrison Creek, Laguna Creek, Elder Creek, Buffalo Creek, Blodgett Reservoir, and the Folsom South Canal. The City has several open spaces, parks, and trails; one of the significant trails is the American River Parkway is, with over 20 miles of trails along the American River from Discovery Park to Folsom Lake. Regarding the regional facilities, there is Mather Sports Complex as a regional amenity and Hagan Park as a regional community Park in the City.

WORKSHOP #1 SUMMARY
C O M M U N I T Y W O R K S H O P # 1 S U M M A R Y 1 O F 4 SUBJECT: Rancho Cordova, Workshop #1 Summary
DATE: March 2, 2023
LOCATION: Rancho Cordova City Hall, 2729 Prospect Park Drive

SUMMARY
The first public workshop took place on March 2, 2023, at Rancho Cordova City Hall. 12 community members attended the interactive workshop.

The main goals of the workshop were to:
• Introduce the project to the community
• Understand the community's vision and core values
• Identify key issues, opportunities, and challenges for each corridor • Establish placemaking
The Workshop began with a presentation from Amber Collins, the Project Manager at Dewberry Consultants. The presentation covered an overview, schedule and process, approach and improvement concepts, and a breakout session, and concluded with next steps. The presentation is included as attachment A.

Following the presentation, workshop attendees participated in a breakout session using color-coded sticky dots to identify areas of concern, areas in need of enhancement, and areas to preserve or highlight on presentation boards displaying the six corridors.

After the public workshop, an online survey was conducted from April 28, 2023, to June 12, 2023, to gather feedback from individuals unable to attend the in-person workshop. 101 individuals completed the survey, providing input on gateway issues, opportunities, potential themes, and prioritizing street design and values based on their preferences.

The survey findings showed a consensus among participants for consistent trees, enhanced landscaping, intuitive wayfinding, and aesthetic beautification for each corridor study area to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and encourage walking and physical activity.

Based on the outreach results from the first public workshop and the online survey, the community vision, context, and core values for each corridor were identified, laying the groundwork for the next round of community outreach.
