RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT a resolution to APPROVE a contract in the
amount of $168,000 with Earth Island Institute (Kids for the Bay) to implement a Supplemental Environmental
Project (SEP) that raises awareness of water quality and non-point source pollution, pursuant to Water Board
Order No. R2-2025-1019 and AUTHORIZING the city
manager or designee to execute the contract - Public
Works Department (Mary Phelps 510-621-1269/Robert
Armijo 510-620-5477).
DISCUSSION:
On May 12, 2025, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board issued a Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability Order (Order No. R2-2025-1019) (“Order”) to the City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1 (RMSD #1), assessing Mandatory Minimum Penalties (MMPs) totaling $336,000 for violations of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit limits at the Richmond Water Pollution Control Plant (RWPCP). These violations occurred between July 2022 and December 2023 during periods of plant upset conditions.
As authorized by State policy, the Order allows up to 50 percent of the total liability (i.e., $168,000) to be directed toward an eligible Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP), with the remaining $168,000 to be paid to the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement Account.
On May 27, 2025, the City Council reviewed the Stipulated Order in Closed Session and voted to accept its terms. The Order was subsequently posted on the State Water Board’s website for a 30-day public comment period. No public comments were received, and the Water Board issued the final Order on July 9, 2025.
The City has selected the Watershed Rangers Program, administered by KIDS for the BAY (a project of Earth Island Institute), as its SEP. This program will engage underserved elementary schools in Richmond in a series of trash cleanups, watershed stewardship activities, and environmental education projects that raise awareness of water quality and non-point source pollution.
City staff are now requesting that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the approval of a $168,000 contract with Earth Island Institute (KIDS for the BAY) to implement the SEP.
COST RECOVERY EFFORTS:
The City has submitted a formal demand letter to Veolia Water, the contracted operator of the Richmond Water Pollution Control Plant, seeking full reimbursement of the $336,000 penalty amount associated with the NPDES permit violations. 518

Section I: INTRODUCTION
This Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Entry of Administrative Civil Liability Order (Stipulated Order) is entered into by and between the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region Prosecution Team (Prosecution Team) and the City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1 (Dischargers) (collectively Parties), and is presented to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (Regional Water Board), or its delegate, for adoption as an Order by settlement pursuant to California Water Code (Water Code) section 13323 and Government Code section 11415.60. This Stipulated Order resolves all the violations alleged herein by the imposition of administrative civil liability against the Dischargers in the amount of $336,000.
Section II: RECITALS
1. The Dischargers operate the Richmond Municipal Sewer District Water Pollution Control Plant (Richmond Plant), a municipal wastewater treatment plant that serves most of the City of Richmond. The Dischargers were formerly a part of West County Agency, a Joint Powers Authority with the West County Wastewater District, which owns and operates the West County Wastewater District Treatment Plant (West County Plant), a municipal wastewater treatment plant that serves the communities of San Pablo, Tara Hills, Rollingwood, Bayview, El Sobrante, portions of Pinole, parts of northern Richmond, and some unincorporated portions of Contra Costa County.
Secondary-treated wastewater from the Richmond Plant and West County Plant is combined prior to discharge to Central San Francisco Bay through a shared outfall (formerly the West County Agency Outfall), Discharge Point 001.
525
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
2. The Dischargers are required to operate and maintain the Richmond Plant in compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit CA0038539 (Permit), an NPDES permit for point source discharges to surface waters of the United States issued pursuant to Clean Water Act section 402 and Water Code Chapter 5.5, Division 7 (commencing with section 13370). The Dischargers are also required to comply with the Permit at Discharge Point 001. The Permit was most recently reissued on June 12, 2024, through Regional Water Board Order R2-2024-0008, which became effective August 1, 2024.
3. Water Code section 13385, subdivisions (h) and (i), requires assessment of mandatory minimum penalties (MMPs) for certain discharge violations. a. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (h)(1) states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, and except as provided in subdivisions (j), (k), and (l), a mandatory minimum penalty of three thousand dollars ($3,000) shall be assessed for each serious violation.
b. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (h)(2) states:
For the purposes of this section, a “serious violation” means any waste discharge that violates the effluent limitations contained in the applicable waste discharge requirements for a Group II pollutant, as specified in Appendix A to Section 123.45 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, by 20 percent or more or for a Group I pollutant, as specified in Appendix A to Section 123.45 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, by 40 percent or more. c. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (i)(1) states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, and except as provided in subdivisions (j), (k), and (l), a mandatory minimum penalty of three thousand dollars ($3,000) shall be assessed for each violation whenever the person does any of the following four or more times in any period of six consecutive months, except that the requirement to assess the mandatory minimum penalty shall not be applicable to the first three violations:
i. Violates a waste discharge requirement effluent limitation. ii. Fails to file a report pursuant to Section 13260.
iii. Files an incomplete report pursuant to Section 13260. 526
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
iv. Violates a toxicity effluent limitation contained in the applicable waste discharge requirements where the waste discharge
requirements do not contain pollutant-specific effluent limitations for toxic pollutants.
d. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (i)(2) states:
For the purposes of this section, a “period of six consecutive months” means the period commencing on the date that one of the violations described in this subdivision occurs and ending 180 days after that date.
4. The Prosecution Team alleges that the Dischargers violated their ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), total coliform, and copper effluent limitations 112 times between July 2022 and December 2023. The 47 BOD5, 61 TSS, and 2 total coliform effluent limit violations occurred at Monitoring Location EFF-002 at the Richmond Plant.
The one copper and one ammonia effluent limit violations occurred at Monitoring Location EFF-001 at Discharge Point 001. The Dischargers are subject to MMPs for all 112 of these violations pursuant to Water Code section 13385, subdivisions (h) and (i), as shown in Attachment A, incorporated by reference herein.
5. To resolve the alleged violations in Section II, paragraph 4, by consent and without further administrative proceedings, the Parties have agreed to the imposition of an administrative civil liability of $336,000 against the Dischargers.
6. The Parties have agreed to settle this matter without administrative or civil litigation, and to present this Stipulated Order to the Regional Water Board or its delegate for adoption as an Order by settlement pursuant to Water Code section 13323 and Government Code section 11415.60.
7. The Prosecution Team contends that the resolution of the alleged violations is fair and reasonable, and fulfills all of its enforcement objectives; that no further action is warranted concerning the violations, except as provided in this Stipulated Order; and that this Stipulated Order is in the public’s best interest.
Section III: STIPULATIONS
The Parties incorporate the foregoing Recitals and stipulate to the following:
1. Administrative Civil Liability: The Dischargers hereby agree to the imposition of an administrative civil liability of $336,000 to resolve the alleged violations set forth in Section II, paragraph 4, as follows:

KIDS for the BAY
Attn: Mandi Billinge, Richmond Watershed Rangers SEP
1771 Alcatraz Avenue Berkeley, CA 94703
2. SEP Description: The SEP is the Watershed Rangers Program managed by KIDS for the BAY (SEP Implementer). The SEP will provide disadvantaged schools in Richmond with trash cleanup projects that raise awareness of watershed health and social behaviors that contribute to non-point source pollution. Attachment B further describes the SEP and its project milestones, budget, and reporting schedule.
3. Representation and Agreements Regarding the SEP:
a. As a material condition for the Regional Water Board’s acceptance of this Stipulated Order, the Dischargers represent that they will fund the suspended liability of $168,000 (SEP Amount) and support the SEP Implementer to implement the SEP as set forth in Section III, paragraph 2, and attachment B. The Dischargers understand that their promise to fund and implement the SEP with the SEP Implementer, in its entirety and in accordance with the implementation schedule and budget set forth in Attachment B, represents a material condition of this settlement of liability between the Dischargers and the Regional Water Board.
b. The Dischargers agree to (1) spend the SEP Amount as described in this Stipulated Order; (2) provide certified, written reports to the Regional Water Board consistent with the terms of this Stipulated Order; and (3) provide as part of the final report due August 30, 2028, a certification 528
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
by a responsible official, signed under penalty of perjury, that the SEP Implementer followed all applicable environmental laws and regulations in implementing the SEP, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and federal Clean Water Act.
c. The Dischargers further agree that the Regional Water Board has the right to require a third-party audit of the funds expended to implement the SEP at the Dischargers’ cost, and that the Dischargers bear ultimate responsibility for meeting all deadlines and requirements specified in Attachment B.
4. Publicity Associated with the SEP: Whenever the Dischargers, or their agents or subcontractors, publicize one or more SEP elements, they shall state in a prominent manner that the project is undertaken as part of a settlement of a Regional Water Board enforcement action against the Dischargers.
5. Progress Reports and Inspection Authority: The Dischargers will provide reports describing progress implementing the SEP to the Regional Water Board as described in Attachment B. The Dischargers and the SEP Implementer agree that Regional Water Board staff has permission to inspect the SEP at any time with 24-hour notice.
6. Certification of SEP Completion: On or before August 30, 2028, a responsible official of the Dischargers shall submit a final completion report as described in Attachment B and a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that documents the SEP Implementer's expenditures during the SEP completion period, and that the Dischargers completed the SEP in accordance with the terms of this Stipulated Order. The expenditures may include external payments to outside vendors, but may not include the cost of normal, routine work undertaken by SEP Implementer staff. In making such certification, the signatories may rely on normal organizational project tracking systems that capture employee time expenditures and external payments to outside vendors, such as environmental and information technology contractors or consultants. Documentation of SEP completion may include photographs, invoices, receipts, certifications, and other materials reasonably necessary for the Regional Water Board to evaluate SEP completion and the costs incurred. The Dischargers shall provide the Regional Water Board with any additional information reasonably necessary to verify the SEP expenditures and completion.
7. Time Extension for SEP: The Executive Officer of the Regional Water Board may extend the SEP deadlines contained in Attachment B of this Stipulated Order if the Dischargers demonstrate delays from unforeseeable circumstances or circumstances beyond their control, provided that the Dischargers continue to undertake all appropriate measures to meet the 529
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
deadlines. The Dischargers shall make any deadline extension request in writing. Any approval of an extension by the Executive Officer must be in writing.
8. Regional Water Board Acceptance of Completed SEP: Upon the Dischargers’ satisfaction of their obligations under this Stipulated Order, including SEP completion and any audits, the Executive Officer shall issue a “Satisfaction of Order” terminating any further obligations under this Stipulated Order, permanently suspending the remaining penalty, and resolving the Administrative Civil Liability proceedings.
9. Failure to Expend All Suspended Funds on the Approved SEP: If the Dischargers are unable to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Executive Officer that the entire SEP Amount was spent on the completed SEP, the Dischargers shall pay the difference between the SEP Amount and the amount the Dischargers can demonstrate was actually spent on the SEP (Difference). The Executive Officer shall issue a “notice” that requires the Dischargers to pay the Difference to the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement Account within 30 days of the notice issuance date. The Dischargers shall submit payment consistent with the payment method described in Section III, paragraph 1.a. Payment of the Difference shall satisfy the Dischargers’ obligations to implement the SEP.
10.Failure to Complete the SEP: If the SEP is not fully implemented by August 30, 2028, or by the due date if extended pursuant to Section III, paragraph 7, or if there has been a material failure to satisfy a project milestone, the Executive Officer shall issue a Notice of Violation. The amount of suspended liability owed shall be determined by a written, stipulated agreement of the Parties, or if the Parties cannot reach agreement, via a Motion for Payment of Suspended Liability before the Regional Water Board or its delegate. The Dischargers shall be liable to pay the entire SEP Amount, or, if shown by the Dischargers, some portion thereof less the value of any completed milestones as stipulated to by the Parties in writing or as determined by the Motion for Payment of Suspended Liability. Unless the Regional Water Board or its delegate determines otherwise, the Dischargers shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, or reimbursement from the Regional Water Board for expenditures made on the SEP prior to the Notice of Violation’s issuance date. Within 30 days of the Regional Water Board’s or its delegate’s determination of the suspended liability amount assessed for the Dischargers to pay, the Dischargers shall submit payment consistent with the payment method described in Section III, paragraph 1.a. Payment of the assessed amount shall satisfy the Dischargers’ obligation to implement the SEP.

Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
acts or omissions by the Dischargers or their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors in carrying out activities pursuant to this Stipulated Order. The Regional Water Board, its members, and its staff shall not be held as parties to, or guarantors of, any contract entered into by the Dischargers or their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors in carrying out activities pursuant to this Stipulated Order.
12.Compliance with Applicable Laws: The Dischargers understand that payment of administrative civil liability in accordance with the terms of this Stipulated Order and/or compliance with the terms of this Stipulated Order is not a substitute for compliance with applicable laws, and that continuing violations of the types alleged herein may subject it to further enforcement, including additional administrative civil liability.

4. Contacts
Mandi Billinge, Executive Director, KIDS for the BAY,
[email protected], (510) 734-3835
5. Project Description
KIDS for the BAY coordinates and supervises watershed stewardship and trash cleanup projects with local schools on a class-by-class basis. Students perform projects with assistance from their teachers and families, and the primary goal of each project is trash removal from nearby neighborhoods, parks, and waterways (e.g., creeks, lakes, bay and delta shorelines). In the process, KIDS for the BAY raises awareness of watershed health and social behavior that contributes to non-point source pollution.
The Watershed Rangers Program prioritizes projects in disadvantaged and environmental justice communities, as encouraged by the State Water Resources Control Board’s (State Water Board) SEP Policy1 and further discussed in sections 6 and 7. This project serves under-resourced schools in the City of Richmond with more than 50 percent low-income students. 1 State Water Resources Control Board Policy on Supplemental Environmental Projects, December 5, 2017.
538
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
A. Project Components. KIDS for the BAY oversees the class projects, each of which has four components: (1) two orientations, (2) a school neighborhood survey and trash cleanup, (3) a watershed habitat/urban open space trash cleanup in an area near the school location, and (4) a creek or Bay field trip and trash cleanup, as described below:
1. Orientation. KIDS for the BAY’s orientations for each class prepare participants (e.g., students, teachers, parent chaperones) for project work and cover background education, planning field activities and logistics, and safety.
a. Background. Participants learn about the San Francisco Bay-Delta watershed, including how school neighborhoods connect with water (storm drain system, local creeks, the Bay, and the Pacific Ocean) and how pollutants in stormwater enter and impact this system.
Emphasis is placed on water as a precious resource, the benefits of healthy watershed ecosystems to people and wildlife, and citizen actions that protect and improve water quality in their communities, such as practicing the Five Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot, and Refuse) to reduce trash, waste, and pollution in the San Francisco Bay watershed.
b. Planning. Participants prepare for field activities and discuss logistics. KIDS for the BAY Educators explain procedures for conducting a neighborhood survey and picking up trash (e.g., using tongs, separating waste from recyclable materials), record keeping (e.g., identifying locations of storm drains and trash hotspots, documenting the types and volume of trash removed), and disposal or recycling processes. KIDS for the BAY Educators provide guidelines for project logistics that are finalized in close coordination with the classroom teacher to include school logistics (parental consent forms, buddy or staying together plans, parent volunteers, etc.).
c. Safety. Students receive training on safe field practices that include staying in the public right-of-way (e.g., walking on sidewalks, not trespassing on residential property) and not handling certain types of wastes that may be encountered (e.g., chemical containers, hypodermic needles, sharp objects). Some sharp objects, such as broken glass, may be removed safely by an adult (KIDS for the BAY Educator, class teacher, or parent volunteer).
2. School Campus and Neighborhood Survey and Trash Cleanups.
Students implement a school campus and neighborhood survey and trash cleanup under KIDS for the BAY direction and supervision. From a walking tour of the school campus and neighborhood, students will identify the number and location of storm drains and the location of any 539
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
trash hotspots. Trash encountered along the way will be picked up, categorized, counted, and recorded on the neighborhood survey sheets provided by KIDS for the BAY. Campus and neighborhood surveys and trash cleanups will take approximately two hours to complete. KIDS for the BAY will dispose of the trash collected at an authorized disposal or recycling facility, such as the school waste management service or a local city waste management center.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate school campus and neighborhood surveys and trash cleanup with local municipalities. The locations and contents of significant trash hotspots beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program (e.g., large accumulations of trash, illegally dumped large items, trash containing unsafe materials such as hazardous waste, drug paraphernalia) will be reported to local agencies and city services to request cleanup. Students will calculate the total number of gallons of trash collected over the surveyed area and share results with the local Clean Water Program.
3. Watershed Habitat Trash Cleanup. KIDS for the BAY, students, and the classroom teacher will identify a watershed habitat in an urban open space area within walking distance of the school. This area may be a local area where trash collects (e.g., a local park, creek, lake, or section of Bay shoreline). If no urban open space area is available within the local watershed, a storm drain grate or collection of storm drains in the neighborhood may be selected. KIDS for the BAY will oversee and supervise the watershed habitat trash cleanup. Each participating class will take a walking field trip to clean up trash at the watershed habitat location. Trash will be picked up, categorized, and counted, and students will calculate the total number of gallons of trash collected and share results with the local Clean Water Program. The same safety rules for trash cleanup beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program apply here as set forth above.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate additional activities in conjunction with the trash cleanup to help students connect with their watershed habitat or to improve community outreach. For example, activities may include increasing connections with the habitat through a sound map, “meeting” the creek, “meeting” a tree, etc. Through these activities, students will observe, study, explore, and connect with the components of a natural watershed habitat. The “Five Rs Relay Race” activities will teach students about using the Five Rs to reduce trash and waste at the source.
4. Creek, Lake, Bay, or Delta Habitat Trash Cleanup. KIDS for the BAY will oversee and supervise a field trip for each participating class to visit a creek, lake, bay, or delta habitat and clean up trash. Trash will be picked up, categorized, and counted, and students will calculate the 540
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
total number of gallons of trash collected and share results with the local Clean Water Program. The same safety rules for trash cleanup beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program apply here as set forth above. The cleanup will take approximately one hour to complete. KIDS for the BAY will dispose of the trash collected at an authorized disposal or recycling facility, such as the school waste management service or a local city waste management center.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate additional activities during this trip to help students learn about and connect with aquatic habitats and ecosystems (e.g., a bay scavenger hunt, short nature hike activity).
Students will observe, study, explore, and connect with the components of a natural watershed habitat. Students will complete the Watershed Rangers Program by pledging to make behavior changes, including not littering and practicing the Five Rs to reduce trash and waste in their watershed. Students will write their pledges on environmental pledge cards provided by KIDS for the BAY. They will then share their pledge cards with their classmates and families.
B. Reporting. Once the project start date is
determined with the participating
school and class, quarterly progress reports will be submitted along with one completion report at the end of the final school year. Table 1 provides the timing and schedule of project activities and due dates for these reports.
Reports will document the trash cleanups and other activities described in the project components and record progress toward project completion.
The reports will also cover expenditure justifications (invoices, hourly rates, time sheets, etc.) and project performance measures. Table 1 lists elements of the quarterly reports and the completion report. The Dischargers will submit reports electronically to the following contacts at the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board:
Kerry O’Connor

6. Compliance with SEP Criteria
Trash cleanup is consistent with the Water Boards’ mission to preserve, enhance, and restore the water quality and beneficial uses of San Francisco Bay and its tributaries. Trash is an environmental pollutant regulated by U.S. EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits under a municipal regional stormwater permit and statewide industrial and construction stormwater permits. The Watershed Rangers Program does not replace others’ responsibilities for trash management or cleanup but, rather, is
intended to provide third-party assistance in reducing the impact of a social issue.
541
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
The Watershed Rangers Program is primarily a pollution reduction SEP; however, project components also include elements of assessment and audit, and environmental restoration and protection SEPs.
· Pollution Reduction SEP – Trash cleanup decreases the amount of waste and pollutants discharging to streams and the Bay. · Assessments and Audits SEP – The identification and reporting of trash hotspots to municipalities through a neighborhood survey and the adoption of a local watershed habitat for monitoring and cleanup is a form of environmental quality assessment and study or monitoring program. · Environmental Restoration and Protection SEP – Trash cleanup at a creek or Bay is nonpoint source program implementation that benefits surface water quality and ecosystems.
7. SEP Policy Support
A SEP must directly benefit or study groundwater or surface water quality or quantity and the beneficial uses of the waters of the State. This project meets this criterion through pollution reduction and assessment that contributes to environmental restoration and protection (item 5). The SEP Policy encourages projects (like the Watershed Rangers Program) that serve disadvantaged and environmental justice communities. This program targets areas where trash is prevalent, cleanup resources are limited, and local communities may be less informed about or engaged with environmental protection and watershed stewardship. KIDS for the BAY has more than 30 years of experience serving disadvantaged and environmental-justice communities by partnering with low- income, urban elementary schools in low-income, environmental-justice communities, including in the following school districts: Oakland Unified, West Contra Costa Unified, San Leandro Unified, Hayward Unified, Pittsburg Unified, Martinez Unified, and Mount Diablo.
KIDS for the BAY programs address environmental health and justice issues that affect the communities they partner with, including urban creek and watershed health, pollution, trash and waste, and access to nature. A goal of KIDS for the BAY is equitable access to environmental education and stewardship opportunities for all children, including English language learners.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are key guiding principles of KIDS for the BAY programs. To better serve communities, KIDS for the BAY provides internal professional development for staff and strives to develop culturally literate, multicultural environmental leaders. KIDS for the BAY staff receive annual training in diversity, equity, and inclusion; environmental justice; culturally responsive class management; and supporting English language learners.
The KIDS for the BAY website’s list of staff alumni includes many women as well as 75 percent who identify as people of color. During its 30-year history, KIDS for the BAY has helped to develop a new generation of leaders in environmental education and stewardship.
542
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
8. Above and Beyond Discharger’s Obligations
This SEP provides no direct benefit to the City of Richmond or Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1. These Dischargers have no obligation to provide financial or other support for this project, will receive no direct or indirect benefit for this effort, and will not direct or exercise any control over the project.
9. No
Benefit to the Water Board Functions, Members, or Staff This SEP provides no direct fiscal benefit to the Regional Water Board’s functions, its members, its staff, or any family of its members or staff.
10.Nexus to Nature or Location of Violations
Trash is prevalent throughout the San Francisco Bay watershed, and trash cleanup projects have a broad nexus to violations of stormwater permits and other types of violations or discharges that threaten to impair San Francisco Bay water quality. Trash cleanups will occur in a San Francisco Bay-Delta watershed and help protect San Francisco Bay water quality and beneficial uses by reducing trash inflow.
11.Project Maintenance
While the project will be completed by the end of each school year, KIDS for the BAY has a separate teacher-training program that provides additional opportunities to the participating classrooms outside this SEP. To provide ongoing support for teachers and continue advancing KIDS for the BAY’s mission, KIDS for the BAY staff follow up with partner teachers the year after their participation in the Watershed Rangers Program to review any lessons learned and address the status of the watershed habitat. Staff will invite teachers to participate in a separate program (Blue Watershed Classrooms teacher follow-up support program) to further develop a watershed-friendly, zero-waste classroom and to continue trash cleanup projects in the school neighborhood and at the adopted watershed habitat.
12.California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance This is an environmental stewardship, trash cleanup, and monitoring program for elementary school students and is categorically exempt from CEQA (Cal.
Code Regs. Tit. 14, section 15301(h),(i) and section 15333).
13. Project Milestone, Schedule, and Budget
Table 1 lists the primary project milestones, deliverables, and schedule.
Table 2 includes the projected cost for each milestone.
This project budget is for 30 third, fourth, or fifth grade classes of students, their teachers, and volunteer family members to complete the Watershed Rangers Program at a cost of $5,600 per class, 10 classes per year, for 3 years.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).
Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”).

1. The Dischargers operate the Richmond Municipal Sewer District Water Pollution Control Plant (Richmond Plant), a municipal wastewater treatment plant that serves most of the City of Richmond. The Dischargers were formerly a part of West County Agency, a Joint Powers Authority with the West County Wastewater District, which owns and operates the West County Wastewater District Treatment Plant (West County Plant), a municipal wastewater treatment plant that serves the communities of San Pablo, Tara Hills, Rollingwood, Bayview, El Sobrante, portions of Pinole, parts of northern Richmond, and some unincorporated portions of Contra Costa County.
Secondary-treated wastewater from the Richmond Plant and West County Plant is combined prior to discharge to Central San Francisco Bay through a shared outfall (formerly the West County Agency Outfall), Discharge Point 001.

Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
2. The Dischargers are required to operate and maintain the Richmond Plant in compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit CA0038539 (Permit), an NPDES permit for point source discharges to surface waters of the United States issued pursuant to Clean Water Act section 402 and Water Code Chapter 5.5, Division 7 (commencing with section 13370). The Dischargers are also required to comply with the Permit at Discharge Point 001. The Permit was most recently reissued on June 12, 2024, through Regional Water Board Order R2-2024-0008, which became effective August 1, 2024.
3. Water Code section 13385, subdivisions (h) and (i), requires assessment of mandatory minimum penalties (MMPs) for certain discharge violations. a. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (h)(1) states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, and except as provided in subdivisions (j), (k), and (l), a mandatory minimum penalty of three thousand dollars ($3,000) shall be assessed for each serious violation.
b. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (h)(2) states:
For the purposes of this section, a “serious violation” means any waste discharge that violates the effluent limitations contained in the applicable waste discharge requirements for a Group II pollutant, as specified in Appendix A to Section 123.45 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, by 20 percent or more or for a Group I pollutant, as specified in Appendix A to Section 123.45 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, by 40 percent or more. c. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (i)(1) states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, and except as provided in subdivisions (j), (k), and (l), a mandatory minimum penalty of three thousand dollars ($3,000) shall be assessed for each violation whenever the person does any of the following four or more times in any period of six consecutive months, except that the requirement to assess the mandatory minimum penalty shall not be applicable to the first three violations:
i. Violates a waste discharge requirement effluent limitation. ii. Fails to file a report pursuant to Section 13260.
iii. Files an incomplete report pursuant to Section 13260. 566
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
iv. Violates a toxicity effluent limitation contained in the applicable waste discharge requirements where the waste discharge
requirements do not contain pollutant-specific effluent limitations for toxic pollutants.
d. Water Code section 13385, subdivision (i)(2) states:
For the purposes of this section, a “period of six consecutive months” means the period commencing on the date that one of the violations described in this subdivision occurs and ending 180 days after that date.
4. The Prosecution Team alleges that the Dischargers violated their ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), total coliform, and copper effluent limitations 112 times between July 2022 and December 2023. The 47 BOD5, 61 TSS, and 2 total coliform effluent limit violations occurred at Monitoring Location EFF-002 at the Richmond Plant.
The one copper and one ammonia effluent limit violations occurred at Monitoring Location EFF-001 at Discharge Point 001. The Dischargers are subject to MMPs for all 112 of these violations pursuant to Water Code section 13385, subdivisions (h) and (i), as shown in Attachment A, incorporated by reference herein.
5. To resolve the alleged violations in Section II, paragraph 4, by consent and without further administrative proceedings, the Parties have agreed to the imposition of an administrative civil liability of $336,000 against the Dischargers.
6. The Parties have agreed to settle this matter without administrative or civil litigation, and to present this Stipulated Order to the Regional Water Board or its delegate for adoption as an Order by settlement pursuant to Water Code section 13323 and Government Code section 11415.60.
7. The Prosecution Team contends that the resolution of the alleged violations is fair and reasonable, and fulfills all of its enforcement objectives; that no further action is warranted concerning the violations, except as provided in this Stipulated Order; and that this Stipulated Order is in the public’s best interest.
Section III: STIPULATIONS
The Parties incorporate the foregoing Recitals and stipulate to the following:
1. Administrative Civil Liability: The Dischargers hereby agree to the imposition of an administrative civil liability of $336,000 to resolve the alleged violations set forth in Section II, paragraph 4, as follows:

State Water Resources Control Board Accounting Office
Attn: ACL Payment
P.O. Box 1888
Sacramento, CA 95812-1888
The Dischargers shall email a copy of the check to the Regional Water Board ([email protected]).
b. The Parties agree that the remaining $168,000 of the administrative liability shall be suspended pending completion of the Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) described in Section III, paragraph 2, and Attachment B, incorporated by reference herein. No later than 30 days after the Regional Water Board or its delegate signs this Stipulated Order, the Dischargers shall mail a check for $168,000, made payable to “Earth Island Institute,” referencing the Order number on page one to:
KIDS for the BAY
Attn: Mandi Billinge, Richmond Watershed Rangers SEP
1771 Alcatraz Avenue Berkeley, CA 94703
2. SEP Description: The SEP is the Watershed Rangers Program managed by KIDS for the BAY (SEP Implementer). The SEP will provide disadvantaged schools in Richmond with trash cleanup projects that raise awareness of watershed health and social behaviors that contribute to non-point source pollution. Attachment B further describes the SEP and its project milestones, budget, and reporting schedule.
3. Representation and Agreements Regarding the SEP:
a. As a material condition for the Regional Water Board’s acceptance of this Stipulated Order, the Dischargers represent that they will fund the suspended liability of $168,000 (SEP Amount) and support the SEP Implementer to implement the SEP as set forth in Section III, paragraph 2, and attachment B. The Dischargers understand that their promise to fund and implement the SEP with the SEP Implementer, in its entirety and in accordance with the implementation schedule and budget set forth in Attachment B, represents a material condition of this settlement of liability between the Dischargers and the Regional Water Board.
b. The Dischargers agree to (1) spend the SEP Amount as described in this Stipulated Order; (2) provide certified, written reports to the Regional Water Board consistent with the terms of this Stipulated Order; and (3) provide as part of the final report due August 30, 2028, a certification 568
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
by a responsible official, signed under penalty of perjury, that the SEP Implementer followed all applicable environmental laws and regulations in implementing the SEP, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and federal Clean Water Act.
c. The Dischargers further agree that the Regional Water Board has the right to require a third-party audit of the funds expended to implement the SEP at the Dischargers’ cost, and that the Dischargers bear ultimate responsibility for meeting all deadlines and requirements specified in Attachment B.
4. Publicity Associated with the SEP: Whenever the Dischargers, or their agents or subcontractors, publicize one or more SEP elements, they shall state in a prominent manner that the project is undertaken as part of a settlement of a Regional Water Board enforcement action against the Dischargers.
5. Progress Reports and Inspection Authority: The Dischargers will provide reports describing progress implementing the SEP to the Regional Water Board as described in Attachment B. The Dischargers and the SEP Implementer agree that Regional Water Board staff has permission to inspect the SEP at any time with 24-hour notice.
6. Certification of SEP Completion: On or before August 30, 2028, a responsible official of the Dischargers shall submit a final completion report as described in Attachment B and a certified statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that documents the SEP Implementer's expenditures during the SEP completion period, and that the Dischargers completed the SEP in accordance with the terms of this Stipulated Order. The expenditures may include external payments to outside vendors, but may not include the cost of normal, routine work undertaken by SEP Implementer staff. In making such certification, the signatories may rely on normal organizational project tracking systems that capture employee time expenditures and external payments to outside vendors, such as environmental and information technology contractors or consultants. Documentation of SEP completion may include photographs, invoices, receipts, certifications, and other materials reasonably necessary for the Regional Water Board to evaluate SEP completion and the costs incurred. The Dischargers shall provide the Regional Water Board with any additional information reasonably necessary to verify the SEP expenditures and completion.
7. Time Extension for SEP: The Executive Officer of the Regional Water Board may extend the SEP deadlines contained in Attachment B of this Stipulated Order if the Dischargers demonstrate delays from unforeseeable circumstances or circumstances beyond their control, provided that the Dischargers continue to undertake all appropriate measures to meet the 569
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
deadlines. The Dischargers shall make any deadline extension request in writing. Any approval of an extension by the Executive Officer must be in writing.
8. Regional Water Board Acceptance of Completed SEP: Upon the Dischargers’ satisfaction of their obligations under this Stipulated Order, including SEP completion and any audits, the Executive Officer shall issue a “Satisfaction of Order” terminating any further obligations under this Stipulated Order, permanently suspending the remaining penalty, and resolving the Administrative Civil Liability proceedings.
9. Failure to Expend All Suspended Funds on the Approved SEP: If the Dischargers are unable to demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Executive Officer that the entire SEP Amount was spent on the completed SEP, the Dischargers shall pay the difference between the SEP Amount and the amount the Dischargers can demonstrate was actually spent on the SEP (Difference). The Executive Officer shall issue a “notice” that requires the Dischargers to pay the Difference to the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement Account within 30 days of the notice issuance date. The Dischargers shall submit payment consistent with the payment method described in Section III, paragraph 1.a. Payment of the Difference shall satisfy the Dischargers’ obligations to implement the SEP.
10.Failure to Complete the SEP: If the SEP is not fully implemented by August 30, 2028, or by the due date if extended pursuant to Section III, paragraph 7, or if there has been a material failure to satisfy a project milestone, the Executive Officer shall issue a Notice of Violation. The amount of suspended liability owed shall be determined by a written, stipulated agreement of the Parties, or if the Parties cannot reach agreement, via a Motion for Payment of Suspended Liability before the Regional Water Board or its delegate. The Dischargers shall be liable to pay the entire SEP Amount, or, if shown by the Dischargers, some portion thereof less the value of any completed milestones as stipulated to by the Parties in writing or as determined by the Motion for Payment of Suspended Liability. Unless the Regional Water Board or its delegate determines otherwise, the Dischargers shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, or reimbursement from the Regional Water Board for expenditures made on the SEP prior to the Notice of Violation’s issuance date. Within 30 days of the Regional Water Board’s or its delegate’s determination of the suspended liability amount assessed for the Dischargers to pay, the Dischargers shall submit payment consistent with the payment method described in Section III, paragraph 1.a. Payment of the assessed amount shall satisfy the Dischargers’ obligation to implement the SEP.
11.Regional Water Board Not Liable: The Regional Water Board and its members, staff, attorneys, and representatives shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from negligent or intentional 570
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
acts or omissions by the Dischargers or their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors in carrying out activities pursuant to this Stipulated Order. The Regional Water Board, its members, and its staff shall not be held as parties to, or guarantors of, any contract entered into by the Dischargers or their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, or contractors in carrying out activities pursuant to this Stipulated Order.
12.Compliance with Applicable Laws: The Dischargers understand that payment of administrative civil liability in accordance with the terms of this Stipulated Order and/or compliance with the terms of this Stipulated Order is not a substitute for compliance with applicable laws, and that continuing violations of the types alleged herein may subject it to further enforcement, including additional administrative civil liability.

This covenant is not intended to bar and does not limit the Dischargers’ rights to sue over other Regional Water Board orders (e.g., permits or cease and desist orders) or limit the Dischargers’ rights to defend against any additional enforcement or other actions taken by the Regional Water Board or its employees, representatives, agents, or attorneys.
Moreover, this covenant shall not release any claims or complaints against any State agency or the State of California, its officers, Regional Water Board members, employees, representatives, agents, or attorneys to the extent such covenant would be prohibited by California Business and Professions Code section 6090.5 or by any other statute, rule, regulation, or legal principle of similar effect.

[email protected], (510) 734-3835
5. Project Description
KIDS for the BAY coordinates and supervises watershed stewardship and trash cleanup projects with local schools on a class-by-class basis. Students perform projects with assistance from their teachers and families, and the primary goal of each project is trash removal from nearby neighborhoods, parks, and waterways (e.g., creeks, lakes, bay and delta shorelines). In the process, KIDS for the BAY raises awareness of watershed health and social behavior that contributes to non-point source pollution.
The Watershed Rangers Program prioritizes projects in disadvantaged and environmental justice communities, as encouraged by the State Water Resources Control Board’s (State Water Board) SEP Policy1 and further discussed in sections 6 and 7. This project serves under-resourced schools in the City of Richmond with more than 50 percent low-income students. 1 State Water Resources Control Board Policy on Supplemental Environmental Projects, December 5, 2017.

A. Project Components. KIDS for the BAY oversees the class projects, each of which has four components: (1) two orientations, (2) a school neighborhood survey and trash cleanup, (3) a watershed habitat/urban open space trash cleanup in an area near the school location, and (4) a creek or Bay field trip and trash cleanup, as described below:
1. Orientation. KIDS for the BAY’s orientations for each class prepare participants (e.g., students, teachers, parent chaperones) for project work and cover background education, planning field activities and logistics, and safety.
a. Background. Participants learn about the San Francisco Bay-Delta watershed, including how school neighborhoods connect with water (storm drain system, local creeks, the Bay, and the Pacific Ocean) and how pollutants in stormwater enter and impact this system.
Emphasis is placed on water as a precious resource, the benefits of healthy watershed ecosystems to people and wildlife, and citizen actions that protect and improve water quality in their communities, such as practicing the Five Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot, and Refuse) to reduce trash, waste, and pollution in the San Francisco Bay watershed.
b. Planning. Participants prepare for field activities and discuss logistics. KIDS for the BAY Educators explain procedures for conducting a neighborhood survey and picking up trash (e.g., using tongs, separating waste from recyclable materials), record keeping (e.g., identifying locations of storm drains and trash hotspots, documenting the types and volume of trash removed), and disposal or recycling processes. KIDS for the BAY Educators provide guidelines for project logistics that are finalized in close coordination with the classroom teacher to include school logistics (parental consent forms, buddy or staying together plans, parent volunteers, etc.).
c. Safety. Students receive training on safe field practices that include staying in the public right-of-way (e.g., walking on sidewalks, not trespassing on residential property) and not handling certain types of wastes that may be encountered (e.g., chemical containers, hypodermic needles, sharp objects). Some sharp objects, such as broken glass, may be removed safely by an adult (KIDS for the BAY Educator, class teacher, or parent volunteer).
2. School Campus and Neighborhood Survey and Trash Cleanups.
Students implement a school campus and neighborhood survey and trash cleanup under KIDS for the BAY direction and supervision. From a walking tour of the school campus and neighborhood, students will identify the number and location of storm drains and the location of any 585
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
trash hotspots. Trash encountered along the way will be picked up, categorized, counted, and recorded on the neighborhood survey sheets provided by KIDS for the BAY. Campus and neighborhood surveys and trash cleanups will take approximately two hours to complete. KIDS for the BAY will dispose of the trash collected at an authorized disposal or recycling facility, such as the school waste management service or a local city waste management center.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate school campus and neighborhood surveys and trash cleanup with local municipalities. The locations and contents of significant trash hotspots beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program (e.g., large accumulations of trash, illegally dumped large items, trash containing unsafe materials such as hazardous waste, drug paraphernalia) will be reported to local agencies and city services to request cleanup. Students will calculate the total number of gallons of trash collected over the surveyed area and share results with the local Clean Water Program.
3. Watershed Habitat Trash Cleanup. KIDS for the BAY, students, and the classroom teacher will identify a watershed habitat in an urban open space area within walking distance of the school. This area may be a local area where trash collects (e.g., a local park, creek, lake, or section of Bay shoreline). If no urban open space area is available within the local watershed, a storm drain grate or collection of storm drains in the neighborhood may be selected. KIDS for the BAY will oversee and supervise the watershed habitat trash cleanup. Each participating class will take a walking field trip to clean up trash at the watershed habitat location. Trash will be picked up, categorized, and counted, and students will calculate the total number of gallons of trash collected and share results with the local Clean Water Program. The same safety rules for trash cleanup beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program apply here as set forth above.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate additional activities in conjunction with the trash cleanup to help students connect with their watershed habitat or to improve community outreach. For example, activities may include increasing connections with the habitat through a sound map, “meeting” the creek, “meeting” a tree, etc. Through these activities, students will observe, study, explore, and connect with the components of a natural watershed habitat. The “Five Rs Relay Race” activities will teach students about using the Five Rs to reduce trash and waste at the source.
4. Creek, Lake, Bay, or Delta Habitat Trash Cleanup. KIDS for the BAY will oversee and supervise a field trip for each participating class to visit a creek, lake, bay, or delta habitat and clean up trash. Trash will be picked up, categorized, and counted, and students will calculate the 586
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
total number of gallons of trash collected and share results with the local Clean Water Program. The same safety rules for trash cleanup beyond the scope of the Watershed Rangers Program apply here as set forth above. The cleanup will take approximately one hour to complete. KIDS for the BAY will dispose of the trash collected at an authorized disposal or recycling facility, such as the school waste management service or a local city waste management center.
KIDS for the BAY will coordinate additional activities during this trip to help students learn about and connect with aquatic habitats and ecosystems (e.g., a bay scavenger hunt, short nature hike activity).
Students will observe, study, explore, and connect with the components of a natural watershed habitat. Students will complete the Watershed Rangers Program by pledging to make behavior changes, including not littering and practicing the Five Rs to reduce trash and waste in their watershed. Students will write their pledges on environmental pledge cards provided by KIDS for the BAY. They will then share their pledge cards with their classmates and families.
B. Reporting. Once the project start date is
determined with the participating
school and class, quarterly progress reports will be submitted along with one completion report at the end of the final school year. Table 1 provides the timing and schedule of project activities and due dates for these reports.
Reports will document the trash cleanups and other activities described in the project components and record progress toward project completion.
The reports will also cover expenditure justifications (invoices, hourly rates, time sheets, etc.) and project performance measures. Table 1 lists elements of the quarterly reports and the completion report. The Dischargers will submit reports electronically to the following contacts at the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board:

6. Compliance with SEP Criteria
Trash cleanup is consistent with the Water Boards’ mission to preserve, enhance, and restore the water quality and beneficial uses of San Francisco Bay and its tributaries. Trash is an environmental pollutant regulated by U.S. EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits under a municipal regional stormwater permit and statewide industrial and construction stormwater permits. The Watershed Rangers Program does not replace others’ responsibilities for trash management or cleanup but, rather, is
intended to provide third-party assistance in reducing the impact of a social issue.
587
Settlement Agreement and Stipulated Administrative Civil Liability, Attachment B City of Richmond and Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1
The Watershed Rangers Program is primarily a pollution reduction SEP; however, project components also include elements of assessment and audit, and environmental restoration and protection SEPs.
· Pollution Reduction SEP – Trash cleanup decreases the amount of waste and pollutants discharging to streams and the Bay. · Assessments and Audits SEP – The identification and reporting of trash hotspots to municipalities through a neighborhood survey and the adoption of a local watershed habitat for monitoring and cleanup is a form of environmental quality assessment and study or monitoring program. · Environmental Restoration and Protection SEP – Trash cleanup at a creek or Bay is nonpoint source program implementation that benefits surface water quality and ecosystems.
7. SEP Policy Support
A SEP must directly benefit or study groundwater or surface water quality or quantity and the beneficial uses of the waters of the State. This project meets this criterion through pollution reduction and assessment that contributes to environmental restoration and protection (item 5). The SEP Policy encourages projects (like the Watershed Rangers Program) that serve disadvantaged and environmental justice communities. This program targets areas where trash is prevalent, cleanup resources are limited, and local communities may be less informed about or engaged with environmental protection and watershed stewardship. KIDS for the BAY has more than 30 years of experience serving disadvantaged and environmental-justice communities by partnering with low- income, urban elementary schools in low-income, environmental-justice communities, including in the following school districts: Oakland Unified, West Contra Costa Unified, San Leandro Unified, Hayward Unified, Pittsburg Unified, Martinez Unified, and Mount Diablo.
KIDS for the BAY programs address environmental health and justice issues that affect the communities they partner with, including urban creek and watershed health, pollution, trash and waste, and access to nature. A goal of KIDS for the BAY is equitable access to environmental education and stewardship opportunities for all children, including English language learners.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are key guiding principles of KIDS for the BAY programs. To better serve communities, KIDS for the BAY provides internal professional development for staff and strives to develop culturally literate, multicultural environmental leaders. KIDS for the BAY staff receive annual training in diversity, equity, and inclusion; environmental justice; culturally responsive class management; and supporting English language learners.
The KIDS for the BAY website’s list of staff alumni includes many women as well as 75 percent who identify as people of color. During its 30-year history, KIDS for the BAY has helped to develop a new generation of leaders in environmental education and stewardship.

8. Above and Beyond Discharger’s Obligations
This SEP provides no direct benefit to the City of Richmond or Richmond Municipal Sewer District No. 1. These Dischargers have no obligation to provide financial or other support for this project, will receive no direct or indirect benefit for this effort, and will not direct or exercise any control over the project.
9. No
Benefit to the Water Board Functions, Members, or Staff This SEP provides no direct fiscal benefit to the Regional Water Board’s functions, its members, its staff, or any family of its members or staff.
10.Nexus to Nature or Location of Violations
Trash is prevalent throughout the San Francisco Bay watershed, and trash cleanup projects have a broad nexus to violations of stormwater permits and other types of violations or discharges that threaten to impair San Francisco Bay water quality. Trash cleanups will occur in a San Francisco Bay-Delta watershed and help protect San Francisco Bay water quality and beneficial uses by reducing trash inflow.
11.Project Maintenance
While the project will be completed by the end of each school year, KIDS for the BAY has a separate teacher-training program that provides additional opportunities to the participating classrooms outside this SEP. To provide ongoing support for teachers and continue advancing KIDS for the BAY’s mission, KIDS for the BAY staff follow up with partner teachers the year after their participation in the Watershed Rangers Program to review any lessons learned and address the status of the watershed habitat. Staff will invite teachers to participate in a separate program (Blue Watershed Classrooms teacher follow-up support program) to further develop a watershed-friendly, zero-waste classroom and to continue trash cleanup projects in the school neighborhood and at the adopted watershed habitat.
12.California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance This is an environmental stewardship, trash cleanup, and monitoring program for elementary school students and is categorically exempt from CEQA (Cal.
Code Regs. Tit. 14, section 15301(h),(i) and section 15333).
13. Project Milestone, Schedule, and Budget
Table 1 lists the primary project milestones, deliverables, and schedule.
Table 2 includes the projected cost for each milestone.
This project budget is for 30 third, fourth, or fifth grade classes of students, their teachers, and volunteer family members to complete the Watershed Rangers Program at a cost of $5,600 per class, 10 classes per year, for 3 years.

DISCUSSION:
On July 6, 2021, the City Council awarded a construction contract to W.R. Forde Associates, Inc. for the California Active Transportation Program (ATP) Quick Build – Cutting, Hoffman, and Harbour Way South Cycletrack Project in an amount not to exceed $1,783,969.00, including contingency. The project was funded by the California Active Transportation Program (ATP) and Senate Bill 1 (SB1) local funds.
The project scope included installation of Class IV, two-way protected cycletrack on segments of Hoffman Boulevard, Cutting Boulevard, West Cutting Boulevard, and Harbour Way South. These improvements closed a critical gap in the City’s active transportation network, providing a continuous connection from the Richmond Ferry Terminal to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge via the Richmond Greenway.
Design work was completed in coordination with the Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Complete Streets Plan and was consistent with the Richmond General Plan 2030.
Construction included protected bike lanes, delineators, pavement markings, and intersection upgrades to enhance safety and visibility for cyclists and pedestrians.
Three change orders were executed during construction to address unforeseen field conditions and to ensure compliance with current accessibility and safety standards.
The final project costs included the following:
A. Construction Contract Amount .............................................. $1,621,790.00 B. Net Approved Change Orders ............................................... $354,512.70 C. Design, Construction Management, Inspection,
Project Management, Testing & Miscellaneous Expenses ......... $559,621.44 Total Project Cost ......................................................................$2,535,924.14
The cycletrack improvements provide approximately 2.5 miles of protected bicycle infrastructure, significantly enhancing safety and access for cyclists and pedestrians.
The project was completed within the approved budget and consistent with the timeframe established in the contract.
As all construction items have been completed and inspected, City staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution accepting the project as complete, directing the City Clerk to record the Notice of Completion with the Contra Costa County Recorder, and authorizing release of the contractor’s bonds and retention payment.

RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 8-10, 2025 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 10, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 24. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 24, 2025
622
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 8, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 9, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 10, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 24. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

General Assembly Voting Guidelines
1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.
2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.
3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.
4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.
5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.
6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.
624
Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a member-
informed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.
For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f). 625

TO: Mayor Martinez and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Lina Velasco, Director of Community Development
Avery Stark, Planning Manager
Michele Morris, Senior Planner
Subject: Presentation of Draft Land Plan for the Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Specific Plan is being funded by grants received from the California Department of Housing and
Community Development and the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission. There is no financial impact to the General Fund.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL
ACTION:
December 5, 2023
STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:
The City is preparing a Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan to create a shovel ready development framework to allow
the revitalization of the plan area. The HHSP will contain planning policies, zoning regulations, and urban design standards to help guide this transformation in the near- and longer term by allowing an array of effective and
complementary mix of land uses across the site that
complement, not exceed, the parameters of the General
Plan. The effort will result in a specific plan that would eliminate barriers for development and decrease
uncertainty for developers interested in delivering
housing and other complementary uses within the HHSP
area. The Draft Land Use Plan developed for the HHSP
will be presented and feedback is desired on some focus questions to refine the concept before drafting is initiated.

RECEIVE a presentation on the Draft Land Plan Concept
(Attachment 2) to be used as the basis for the
preparation of the Draft Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan; and PROVIDE feedback on the Focus Questions -
Community Development Department (Lina
Velasco/Avery Stark/Michele Morris 510-620-6841).
BACKGROUND:
Specific Plan Purpose
The Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan (HHSP) area covers approximately 143 acres within the larger Hilltop Priority Development Area (PDA). Priority Development Areas are places near public transit planned for new homes, jobs, and community amenities. The Hilltop PDA was nominated by the Richmond City Council and officially designated by the Association of Bay Area Governments in 2020. The HHSP area consists of the former Hilltop Mall and a larger contiguous area to the east and south (see Attachment 1, Map of Hilltop Horizon Specific Plan Area).
The City’s vision for the Hilltop area, as stated in the Richmond General Plan 2030, is for a highly visible and accessible regional district, blended with a mix of vibrant uses that would enhance the area’s competitive edge in the region. The purpose of the HHSP will be to support the General Plan vision by focusing in on the aspects of the General Plan for the Hilltop area. The HHSP will contain planning policies, zoning regulations, and urban design standards to help guide this transformation in the near- and longer term by allowing an array of effective and complementary mix of land uses across the site that complement, not exceed, the parameters of the General Plan. The intended result is to create a shovel ready development framework to allow the revitalization of the plan area after the adoption of the specific plan and environmental analysis. The effort will result in a specific plan that would eliminate barriers for development and decrease uncertainty for developers interested in delivering housing and other complementary uses within the HHSP area.
Funding for the Specific Plan
The HHSP is funded through a $500,000 Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) Grant from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); a $750,000 Priority Development Area (PDA) Planning Grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG); and funds from the City’s comprehensive planning fees, which are collected via building permits.
Consultant Team
The City has contracted a multidisciplinary team (consultant team) of policy and environmental planners, traffic consultants, designers, engineers, and economists to support the preparation of the HHSP. The lead consultant is Environmental Science 627
September 16, 2025
Associates (ESA). Subconsultants consist of BAE Urban Economics for economic and fiscal analyses; Fehr & Peers for transportation; SITELAB urban studio for design; NCE for engineering and utilities; CHS Consulting Group for additional transportation/parking analysis support; and A3GEO for geotechnical.
Supporting Documents
The consultant team has prepared a series of memorandums, reports and studies to help inform the specific plan development process. These documents, listed below, are available on the HHSP website at https://hilltophorizon.com/ under the Documents and Resources” section:
Land Use Existing Conditions Memorandum,
Transportation Existing Conditions Memorandum,
Urban Design Memorandum,
Market Study,
Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation Report, and
Wet Utilities Memorandum.
The key findings of these documents are summarized in Attachment 3.
Community & Stakeholder Engagement
The HHSP project was initiated in 2021, with community and stakeholder engagement playing a central role throughout the planning process. The process has engaged a broad cross-section of stakeholders, including neighborhood councils, private property and public agency stakeholders, and the community at large, through meetings, workshops, surveys, and public study sessions. Key engagement milestones are described in the following sections.
2022–2023: Early Outreach and Concept Development
Initial outreach began in mid-2022 and continued through the end of 2023, focusing on early visioning, identifying community priorities, and exploring draft concept alternatives.
Activities during this period included:
- Stakeholder Interviews, June-August 2022,
- Advisory Committee Meeting #1, August 2022,
- Community Workshop #1, September 2022,
- A digital Community Survey, February-March 2023,
- Community Survey, March 2023,
- Advisory Committee Meeting #2, October 2023,

September 16, 2025
A summary of outreach activities and community feedback was presented to the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2023. This input helped define the project’s initial planning drivers and shaped the development of land use alternatives. 2024: Stakeholder Coordination and Neighborhood Engagement In 2024, engagement efforts expanded to include:
Coordination with the Hilltop Mall site landowner to exchange information and explore opportunities to align private development interests with the City’s planning goals
Project updates provided by City staff at several Richmond neighborhood council meetings, continuing public engagement
2025: Refinement and Continued Public Engagement
In April 2025, Advisory Committee Meeting #3 was convened to review and solicit feedback on the Draft HHSP Land Plan Concept and updated planning drivers. This meeting built on feedback received during prior community engagement and the direction provided by the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2023.
Evolving Planning Drivers
The engagement process has helped define and refine a set of community-informed planning drivers. These were first shaped by community input during 2022–2023, reinforced through Planning Commission and City Council feedback in 2023, and underscored at the 2025 Advisory Committee #3 meeting:
1. Attract innovative and diverse businesses and new economic drivers.
2. Foster cultural and entertainment hubs.
3. Expand living choices through a range of medium- and high-density housing types.
4. Incorporate flexible land uses to support short- and long-term market opportunities.
5. Provide for experiential and “main street” retail.
6. Promote mixed-use, walkable development.
7. Enhance multimodal connectivity and provide for a transit hub.
8. Prioritize safety and community well-being.
9. Embed equity, sustainability, and resilience in all aspects of planning and development.
The 2023 concept alternatives were discussed during the Advisory Committee Meeting #2 and Community Workshop #2 and were later presented to the Planning Commission in November 2023 and City Council in December 2023. Feedback from the two engagement meetings and the November 2023 Planning Commission meeting is summarized in Attachment 3 of this report and informed the next phase of plan refinement. Following the December 2023 City Council presentation, City Council 629
September 16, 2025
directed the staff to revisit the Hilltop Horizon land plan alternatives and engage further with the Hilltop Mall site landowner to refine the approach.
The mall site, which comprises approximately 55% of the plan area (78 of 143 acres), had been subject to a series of independently prepared concepts by the mall landowner’s team. These early concepts initially emphasized employment and industrial uses with some housing and commercial. Over time, particularly in 2024, the landowner’s concepts evolved from employment-focused to a more housing-forward mix, and more recently to one centered on large-format commercial uses with supporting residential, community flex space, and potential medical facilities. All these mall site concepts were prepared and funded solely by the mall site landowner.
Throughout 2024 and early 2025, the City team engaged in a series of discussions with the mall site landowner to review these evolving concepts and identify areas of potential alignment with the City’s planning goals and community input. While some components did not fully align with the broader community vision, the dialogue informed refinements to the City-led alternatives. The resulting Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept incorporates community priorities and public feedback, with strategies intended to balance vision and feasibility. The Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept was presented at Advisory Committee Meeting #3 in April 2025. Key takeaways from Advisory Committee Meeting #3 include:
Support for Balanced Uses: Members emphasized the need for a well-rounded land use mix, including retail, open space, and community amenities, while expressing varying views on density. Members supported medium-density housing (20–40 dwelling units per acre) as more context-sensitive, while others recognized the need for higher-density housing in appropriate areas to support transit, housing affordability, and General Plan goals. Infrastructure and Public Safety: There was strong consensus that growth must be supported by adequate infrastructure and services, including water, sewer, roads, fire, and police. Members specifically called for a local police substation or similar public safety presence in Hilltop. Transportation Integration: Members emphasized the importance of the transit hub and multimodal connectivity, highlighting the need for the land plan to support transit use and address traffic impacts.
Align Vision with Feasibility: Members encouraged a bold but realistic approach, balancing community priorities with what is economically viable and implementable over time.
Planning Commission Study Session #2 - Input on Focus Questions This section summarizes feedback provided by the Planning Commission in response to the four focus questions posed during a study session held at the August 21, 2025 Planning Commission meeting. The feedback below is organized by focus question. 630
September 16, 2025
Focus Question #1:
Do you support stepping down residential density at the west and east plan area edges to create a mid-density residential buffer (townhomes, multiplexes, stacked flats) adjacent to existing homes?
There was general support for this approach as a way to balance neighborhood transitions with a more active core.
Stepping down residential density from the edges toward a higher-density core allows the area to develop more gracefully—fitting in with existing neighborhoods while leaving the center for retail, entertainment, and employment.
Focus Question #2:
Do you support establishing a compact, urban Gateway District near Klose Way and Garrity Way – an area with strong I-80 access – that allows a mix of higher-density housing and active, people-oriented uses such as shops, dining, and public gathering spaces?
There was general support for creating the Gateway District in the location shown, as a focal point and destination within Hilltop. The urban Gateway District should have strong connections to regional transit as well as existing arterial streets.
Strong nodes that can catalyze development and provide people-oriented experiences – such as retail, dining, and activity spots - should be a part of the Gateway District.
A “main street” environment should be created to encourage walking, gathering, and a people-oriented experience.
Affordable housing should be prioritized in these amenity-rich areas, including options for essential workers like firefighters and teachers, as well as older adults. Richmond’s inclusionary housing ordinance should be applied to this area.
Focus Question #3:
Do you support creating transitional districts between the medium-density residential areas and the higher-intensity Gateway District that allow a flexible mix of housing, retail, offices, medical uses, and other potential economic drivers? Transitional districts should allow flexibility to respond to market conditions and phased development.
These districts could help bridge from the higher-density core, with a mix of housing and a strong retail and/or employment component that complements the Gateway.
Focus Question #4:
631
September 16, 2025
Beyond the proposed elements—such as continuous bike and pedestrian pathways, a centralized open space area, an improved transit hub, and enhanced access to Hilltop Lake Park—what other features would you like to see included to further enhance connectivity, health, and recreational opportunities?
There was support for including these amenities—bike/pedestrian pathways, open space, transit, and park access—as key parts of the plan. The plan should prioritize bike and pedestrian connectivity, with strong links to Hilltop Lake Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
A connected open space network is important so the community is tied together through trails and greenways.
Urban plazas and gathering spaces should be part of this network, providing activity spots within the higher-density areas.
The transit hub should provide connections to regional transit options, and projects should be directly connected to nearby open space and recreational features.
Additional Planning Commission Input
The following summarizes key themes shared by the Planning Commission on August 21, 2025, highlighting the consistent guidance that emerged throughout the discussion.
1. General Plan Consistency
Clarify whether the Specific Plan’s development program is consistent with or additive to the General Plan assumptions, since this affects population, traffic, and school impacts.
2. Plan for Schools
Evaluate the potential need for additional public schools in the plan area, based on development potential and anticipated population growth. Ensure that local school districts are engaged in future planning efforts.
3. Mobility Hubs
Provide a description of what the mobility hubs will include and how they will operate.
Develop strong transit connections that link residents to regional and local transportation options.
4. Infrastructure and Services
Ensure that future development will be supported by adequate infrastructure and services including water, sewer, roads, fire, healthcare, and police.
Consider how population and traffic generated by the plan area will affect demand for these services and facilities.
5. Local Destination
Position the plan area as a regional destination where people want to live, shop, and visit.
Incorporate amenities and land uses that attract residents and visitors, while balancing impacts on schools, infrastructure, and traffic.

Summary of Community Feedback
During the Planning Commission Study Session, several members of the public provided comments. The feedback received at the meeting is summarized below:
The plan should include a variety of land uses—such as retail, dining, entertainment, open space, parks, and community amenities – to make Hilltop a place people want to visit.
The City’s concept plan has been a long time coming and is consistent with the General Plan vision, which itself was developed through a five-year community process.
Community members expressed differing views on density. Some favored medium-density housing as more compatible with existing neighborhoods, while others supported higher-density housing in targeted areas to advance affordability and transit goals. Others voiced concern about too much housing, pointing to vacant apartments elsewhere in Richmond, and said the site could sit empty if densities are too high.
Some participants emphasized feasibility: achieving a blended average density of around 40 du/ac, allowing short-term activation uses (such as Glydways), and scaling densities to balance growth with market realities. There was support for affordable housing options, including for college students, young adults, essential workers, and people experiencing homelessness. Infrastructure capacity (schools, utilities, police, healthcare, and transit) was flagged as a key consideration.
School districts were not directly engaged in the process to date. Support was expressed for bike and pedestrian connectivity and the broader active transportation network, including strong links to Hilltop Lake Park and regional transit.
A long-time Hilltop property owner requested that their parcel be redesignated from Transitional Zone to High Density/Intensity Zone, citing feasibility concerns with the current zoning and interest in delivering new housing. Broader feedback called for more amenities and balanced growth, with concerns that community voices were not fully heard. Comments also emphasized the need for stronger outreach and allowing the property owners to share their project.
Land Use Progression
With input from the outreach process, the City team developed three preliminary concept alternatives in 2023. Each tested different land use arrangements intended to reflect community priorities, respond to Hilltop’s unique context, and allow flexibility for near- and long-term implementation.
DISCUSSION:
Draft Land Plan Concept Overview
633
September 16, 2025
Input gathered on the concept alternatives helped evolve the visioning for the plan area and resulted in the development of a City-prepared Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept (see Attachment 2, Draft Land Plan Concept) that addresses goals for:
Creating a plan that preserves long-term objectives and potential and considers feasibility for near-term development;
Adjusting the plan edges to mirror the surrounding neighborhoods while encouraging a mix of land uses and entertainment opportunities; Expanding the potential for diverse housing that is supported by nearby schools and businesses; and
Creating engaging spaces to belong, connect, and share while promoting safety, enhancing mobility for all users, and emphasizing community sustainability, resilience, and equity.
The Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept incorporates direction received from the Planning Commission and City Council, by providing the opportunity to allow for a range of uses, emphasizing housing and open space, and providing a framework for enhanced mobility options and retail uses. It provides ground floor activation and enhanced experiences, with existing and new connections to retail, schools, businesses, and housing. Supporting the planning drivers for HHSP, the Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept includes the key elements below: Residential uses, Relationship to the 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation, Mobility, Open Space, Mixed-Use development, and Public/Quasi-Public development.
The development potential expressed in the Draft Land Plan Concept remains within the upper range contemplated in the General Plan 2030 and would not result in more development than was previously contemplated. Rather the land plan concept considers a new arrangement that allows for more flexibility in the intensity of development across the site. It reflects a redistribution of the development potential across the site.
Residential
The residential component of the Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept incorporates a mix of densities and housing typologies throughout the plan area, including Mid- Density Zone, Transitional Zone, High Density/Intensity Zone, and Gateway Zone to support additional housing. The Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept Zone Comparison Table below shows the recommended dwelling units per acre (du/ac) ranges to be allowed within the Specific Plan area across the mall site and perimeter area. The intensity of each zone is expressed as floor area ratio (FAR) which defines the relationship between the gross floor area of buildings to the lot area of the project site. These ranges provide the density and intensity for each land use designation which affects the volume, height, spacing, and shape of buildings within each zone. 634

The Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept expands housing options, strategically locating higher density near the retail mixed-use core and integrating it with an enhanced mobility and trail network within the Gateway Zone. Key aspects of the residential component in the Draft Hilltop Horizon Land Plan Concept include:
Allowing for a variety of for-sale and rental housing that range in size and affordability.
Accommodating density transitions, with higher density residential closest to the core transitioning to lower density residential further away from the core. A Mid Density land use designation accommodating 15-40 du/ac, generally allowing for 2-3 story attached housing products such as rowhomes and townhomes.
A Transitional land use designation accommodating 30-80 du/ac, generally allowing for 2-3 story attached rowhomes and townhomes, and 3-4 story stacked products such as apartments and condominiums.
A High Density/Intensity land use designation accommodating 50-135 du/ac, generally allowing for stacked products between 3-6 stories, based on specific site conditions and accommodating a transition between zones. The Gateway land use designation accommodating 60-200 du/ac, generally allowing for stacked products that are 5+ stories, and high-density wrap/podium housing.
