SAN ANSELMO PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-04

RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISISON OF THE TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO RECOMMENDING TOWN COUNCIL ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO TITLE 10, CHAPTER 3, SECTION 10-3.607 “NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND IMPROVEMENTS”, SECTION 10-4.206 “NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND EXCEPTIONS TO STANDARDS”, AND SECTION 10-3.405 “MINOR INTRUSIONS INTO REQUIRED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TABLE 4B” TO ALLOW THE REPAIR AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF

FOUNDATIONS FOR LEGAL NONCONFORMING RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES WHEREAS, the Planning Commission desires to help facilitate, encourage, and provide an efficient ministerial streamlined review process for property owners to improve their residential structures to address any public health, safety, and/or welfare deficiencies related to the repair and/or replacement of foundations for properties with legal nonconforming setbacks; and WHEREAS, Section 10-3.607 of the San Anselmo Municipal Code provides regulations and procedures for addressing existing uses and existing buildings and improvements which are not in conformance with provisions of this chapter as of the date of its adoption or amendment and allows a nonconforming structure to be improved or reconstructed “in-kind” provided there are no changes to the dimension, design, or location; and
WHEREAS, the “in-kind” repair or replacement of foundations necessary to comply with the Town’s current Building and Fire Codes is difficult, or sometimes not possible, without changing the dimension, design, and materials of a foundation and related structural improvements and therefore would require a discretionary Variance; and
WHEREAS, the Town’s Flood Management Ordinance, Title 7, Chapter 11, “Protection of Flood Hazard Areas” and Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) regulations require properties that undergo a “substantial improvement” to be raised one foot above Base Flood Elevation, as this elevation will be protective against flood damage; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinance Amendment will ministerially allow the repair or replacement of the foundations for nonconforming residential properties without the need for a discretionary Variance, specifically allowing:

1. Properties with legal nonconforming setbacks located within a Special Flood Hazard Area to repair or replace the foundation of a residential structure as necessary to meet current Building/Fire Code, and allow the overall height of the structure to be correspondingly increased to the extent necessary to comply with the Town’s Flood Management Ordinance and FEMA requirements; and

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is responsible for providing recommendations to the Town Council for proposed amendments to the Town’s Zoning Code pursuant to Government Code section 65853 et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the proposed Ordinance Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15301 involving the minor alteration of existing residences involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that already in existence; and CEQA Guideline section 15601(b)(3) because it can been seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of the Ordinance Amendment may have a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the proposed Ordinance Amendment in the public interest and is consistent with the Town’s General Plan Objective No. 16 “to protect the community from danger to life and property caused by flooding” and General Plan Policy 16.2, which requires the Town “To only allow development within the 100-year floodplain which is consistent with the Town’s adopted Protection of Flood Hazard Areas and Water Course Ordinance”; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendment is consistent with the San Anselmo Climate Action Plan 2030 policies A-1 (Preparation and Response to Local Hazards), E-5 (Streamlined Permit Process), and W-3 (Waste Reduction); and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance is consistent with the Marin County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan policies MLT-3 (Adopt, amend as needed, and enforce updated versions of state and federal regulations for Building and Fire Codes so that optimal standards are used in construction and renovation projects of public and private buildings and infrastructure), FLD-1 (Maintain participation in the National Flood Insurance Program and manage beyond minimum requirements as appropriate for local conditions. Consider improving Community Rating System (CRS) score if benefit exceeds cost for a given jurisdiction), and FLD-2 (Incorporate flood Planning and planning into local permitting and planning); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on March 6, 2023 to consider the Ordinance Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated as findings herein.

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
For the meeting of March 6, 2023
Agenda Item 6.A
Date: March 6, 2023
To: Chair Tunny and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Heidi Scoble, Planning Director
Subject: Consider and adopt a Resolution recommending to the Town Council Ordinance Amendments to Section 10-3.607, Nonconforming uses and improvements, Section 10-4.206, Nonconforming Structures and Exceptions to standards, and add a Section 10-3.405, Minor Intrusions into Required Development Standards for Residential Properties Table 4B to allow the repair and/or replacement of foundations for legal nonconforming residential structures.

Recommendation
That the Planning Commission hold a public hearing and adopt a Resolution (see Attachment 1) recommending that the Town Council adopt an Ordinance (see Attachment 2), and Policy Application of Section 10-3.405, Table 4B, for Foundation Repair and Replacement (see Attachment 3).

Background/Discussion
On February 6, 2023, the Planning Commission considered and discussed whether the Town’s Zoning Code should be amended to provide a more streamlined ministerial process to allow the repair and/or replacement of foundations and other related structural improvements related to a foundation (referred to herein as “foundations”) of residences that have legal nonconforming setbacks.

The Planning Commission supported the concept of the proposed amendments to address foundation repair and/or replacement and requested corresponding Policy direction to apply the proposed amendments in Section 10-3.405, Minor Intrusions into Required Development Standards for Residential Properties Table, Table 4B.

Accordingly, attached is the proposed Ordinance (see Attachment 2) and Policy Application memo (see Attachment 3) that has been prepared to be consistent with the proposed 228 160

Page 2 of 2 ends

amendments summarized in the February 6, 2023 Staff Report (see Attachment 4). An excerpt of the unapproved meeting minutes is also attached (see Attachment 5).

GENREAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Ordinance is consistent with the General Plan’s Objective No. 16, “to protect the community from danger to life and property caused by flooding” and General Plan Policy 16.2, “To only allow development within the 100-year floodplain which is consistent with the Town’s adopted Protection of Flood Hazard Areas and Water Course Ordinance”.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONFORMANCE
Adoption of the Resolution and Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the “common sense” exemption CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that it will have a significant environmental effect. The project is also exempt from CEQA Guideline Section 15301 for minor alterations of existing residences involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that already in existence.

The Ordinance Amendment is also consistent with the following San Anselmo Climate Action Plan 2030 adopted in 2019:

1. Adaptation and Resilience (A) : A-1: Preparation and Response a. Continue to incorporate the increased risk of wildfire, extreme heat, storm events and other extremes [such as Flood Events] in the Town’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

2. E-5: Streamline Permit Process and Provide Technical Assistance Analyze current green building permit and inspection process to eliminate barriers and provide technical assistance to ensure successful implementation of green building requirements. Participate in countywide efforts to make it easier for contractors and building counter staff to simplify applications and identify incentives.

3. W-3: Construction & Demolition Debris and Self-Haul Waste Continue to enforce Town construction & demolition debris material recycling ordinance (San Anselmo Municipal Code Section 9-20.01 et. seq.).

POLICY APPLICATION OF TABLE 4B, FOUNDATION REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT For properties located within a Special Flood Hazard Area as designated by FEMA:

Property owners with substandard legal nonconforming setbacks may repair and/or replace the foundation and other structural elements related to a foundation to ensure the finished floor meets the requirements of the Town’s Flood Protection regulations, Building and/or Fire Codes.

This exception would allow the overall height of the residential building to be increased to the extent necessary to comply with Title 7, Chapter 11, Protection of Flood Hazard Areas of the San Anselmo Municipal Code and FEMA regulations if the Town’s Floodplain Administrator determines the foundation, related structural improvements, and/or finished floor will need to be raised to comply with Town’s Flood Hazard regulations.

This exception may also be used in conjunction with other exceptions listed in Table 4B. However, no second story additions and/or modifications would be exempt from this exception, and those projects would require Design Review pursuant to Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 15, Section 10-

3.1505, Projects subject to design review, of the San Anselmo Municipal Code.

For properties outside of a Special Flood Hazard Area as designated by FEMA and have legal nonconforming setbacks:

Property owners with substandard legal nonconforming setbacks may repair and/or replace the foundation and other structural elements even if the repair and/or new foundation would not be an in-kind replacement to ensure the foundation meets the Town’s Building and/or Fire Codes.

This exception would allow the overall height of the residential building to be increased to the extent necessary to accommodate the repaired or new foundation if the Town’s Building Official determines that the foundation and related structural improvements are necessary to ensure compliance with the Town’s Building and/or Fire Code.

This exception may also be used in conjunction with other exceptions listed in Table 4B. However, no second story additions and/or modifications would be exempt from this exception ,and those projects would require Design Review pursuant to Title 10, Chapter 3, Article 15, Section 10-

TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
For the meeting of February 6, 2023
Agenda Item 6.B
Date: February 6, 2023
To: Chair Tunny and Members of the Planning Commission
From: Heidi Scoble, Planning Director
Subject: Discuss Foundation Replacement for Nonconforming Residences Recommendation
Receive a presentation from staff and provide direction to staff regarding possible Zoning Code amendments to address foundation replacement for nonconforming residences. No formal action is needed.

Background
The purpose of this item is to discuss whether the Town’s Zoning Code should be amended to provide a more streamlined ministerial process to allow the repair and/or replacement of foundations and cripple walls (referred to herein as “foundations”) of residences that have legal nonconforming setbacks.

The Town currently regulates nonconforming structures as follows:

Section 10-3.607: Nonconforming uses and improvements.

Section 10-3.607 provides regulations and procedures for addressing existing uses and existing buildings and improvements which are not in conformance with provisions of this chapter as of the date of its adoption or amendment.

Section 10-3.607(e)(1)(ii), allows a nonconforming structure to be improved or reconstructed “inkind” provided there are no changes to the dimension, design, or location. There is an exception that would allow a nonconforming structure to be moved from a zero-foot setback to a two-foot maximum setback.

Section 10-3.607(f)(1) allows any nonconforming building or improvement may be maintained, repaired, enlarged, extended, or structurally altered provided the enlargement or alteration 240 172

Page 2 of 5 ends

complies with the use, setback, height, lot coverage and other site development requirements of the zone in which the structure is located, as well as other development regulations applicable to the area in which the structure is located.

Section 10-4.206: Nonconforming Structures and Exceptions to standards.

Section 10-4.206 provides direction on how to treat nonconforming structures related to housing developments that are permitted by-right under Government Code Section 65852.21 (Senate Bill [SB] 9). Specifically, the section states that the Town cannot require the correction of a preexisting nonconforming zoning condition as a conditional of approval for an SB 9 unit.

However, if the SB 9 units would exacerbate a nonconformity, then an applicant could request a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review to allow for an exception.

When considering foundation repair and replacement, under the current regulations, a foundation can be repaired and/or replaced as long as the dimensions are the same. However, if there is a need to repair or replace a foundation, in order (for example) to comply with current building code, that would require the dimensions of the foundation to be modified, then a Variance would be triggered. A Variance is a discretionary land use permit that is regulated under State law and Title 10, Planning and Zoning, Chapter 3, Zoning, and Article 14, Variance. A Variance requires a noticed public hearing and action by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may only approve the project if all of the requisite findings pursuant to Section 10-

3.1405 can be achieved.

The current challenge under the existing regulations is that the regulations do not account for residential structures located within Special Flood Hazard Areas as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or current building and fire codes.

Under Town Code and FEMA regulations, if a project constitutes a “substantial improvement”, which is defined when the cost of the project equals or exceeds 50% of the fair market value of the structure prior to construction, the structure must be raised to 1 foot above Base Flood Elevation (BFE). (SAMC § 7-11.201; 44 CFR 59.1.) One foot above BFE is considered to protect against property damage due to flooding. As such, if a nonconforming residence is located in flood zone and it is determined that the foundation of the nonconforming residence needs to be raised in order to meet the base flood elevation requirements of the respective flood zone, then a Variance would be required to allow a modification to the existing vertical dimensions of the structure in order to comply with the Town’s floor protection regulations pursuant to Title 7, Chapter 11, Protection of Flood Hazard Areas. Additionally, some property owners may wish to provide flood protection by raising their properties even if their project does not meet the threshold of a “substantial improvement”.

The same concept applies for nonconforming residential structures that are located outside of flood zones, but would need to repair and/or replace a foundation to meet current building and fire codes. For example, if a foundation repair created a larger foundation than the nonconforming foundation, a Variance would be triggered even if the new foundation was necessary to meet building code.
241 173

Page 3 of 5 ends

The repair and replacement of foundations is required to conform to the Town’s Building and Fire Codes, and there is limited discretion the Town can apply without denying the right to address health and safety improvements. Therefore, staff is seeking input from the Planning Commission regarding possible Zoning Code amendments that would provide a ministerial review process in lieu of a discretionary Variance process as described previously. The ministerial process would require a staff level review by the Building Department, Public Works Department, and Planning Department, and it would only allow a property owner to repair or replace a foundation (and not allow other modifications to the structure that would alter the existing dimensions of the residential structure) associated with a legal nonconforming residence if the design of the foundation is necessary to meet the Town’s Building and Fire Codes and/or Flood Hazard regulations.

For context and clarification, a “ministerial review and approval process” involves little or no discretion and merely applies a checklist or clear requirements to the facts presented. The Building Code would provide clear parameters on the design and construction requirements.

Conversely, a “discretionary review and approval process” involves a designated review authority and requires their judgement and deliberation to decide whether to issue an approval and how best to shape or condition an approval. The current discretionary review authorities listed in the Zoning Code include:
• Planning Director: certain Design Review projects and Minor Use Permits; • Planning Commission: Design Review projects, Variances, Conditional Use Permits, Grading Permits, Tentative Maps, etc.; and
• Town Council: appeals and legislative actions, such as adoption of Ordinances.

Discussion
If the Planning Commission is interested in allowing a ministerial approval process for the repair and/or replacement of foundations associated with legal nonconforming residences, staff is recommending the following amendments to the Zoning Code:

Amend Section 10-3.607(f)(1), Nonconforming uses and improvements, as follows:
(f) Expansion of nonconforming buildings and improvements. (1) Any nonconforming building or improvement may be maintained, repaired, enlarged, extended, or structurally altered provided the enlargement or alteration complies with the use, setback, height, lot coverage and other site development requirements of the zone in which the structure is located, as well as other development regulations applicable to the area in which the structure is located and/or a permitted exemption listed in Section 10-3.405 Table 4B.
242 174

Page 4 of 5 ends

Amend Section 10-4.206, Nonconforming Structures and Exceptions to standards, as follows:
(a) The Town shall not require the correction of any preexisting nonconforming zoning condition as a condition of approval for a Ministerial Housing Unit. (b) The Town may permit exceptions to Sections 10-4.202 through 10-4.205 subject to approval of design review and a conditional use permit in accordance with Article 13 and 15 of this title.
(c) The Town may permit exceptions as permitted in Section 10-3.405 Table 4B.

Amend Section 10-3.405, Minor Intrusions into Required Development Standards for Residential Properties Table, Table 4B, to add a new section as follows:

In closing, staff is requesting feedback from the Planning Commission regarding the following:

1. Is there interest in amending the Zoning Code to allow a ministerial, staff level review process to allow for the repair and/or replacement of foundations related to legal nonconforming residences?

2. If not, do you think the Variance process is the appropriate permit process or should a Conditional Use Permit be considered.? The Conditional Use Permit has different required 243 175

findings pursuant to Section 10-.1305 than the Variance findings pursuant to Section 10-

3.1405.

3. If the Planning Commission believes there should be a discretionary review associated with the repair and/or replacement of foundations related to legal nonconforming residences, would the Planning Commission consider Planning Director review through either a Variance, Conditional Use Permit, or Minor Use Permit process?

4. If the Planning Commission agrees that a ministerial process should be developed, would the Planning Commission support the proposed language or are there any changes/edits to the draft regulations?

5. Would the Planning Commission like to expand the review process to legal nonconforming nonresidential structures, such as garages and accessory structures?

6. Does the Planning Commission have any other comments, thoughts, and/or suggestions? Attachments

10-3.607 Nonconforming uses and improvements.
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose of this article is to provide regulations and procedures for addressing existing uses and existing buildings and improvements which are not in conformance with provisions of this chapter as of the date of its adoption or amendment.

Nonconforming uses include those which are not permitted by the current District's land use regulations, but were permitted by previous provisions either in the same zoning district or another zoning district.

Nonconforming buildings and improvements typically include those which do not conform to the current district's development standards such as yard setback, building height, or maximum number of stories. (b) Nonconforming uses of land.
(1) The lawful use of land existing at the time of the passage of Ordinance No. 190 and subsequent zoning ordinances, although such use does not conform to the provisions of this chapter, may be continued; provided, however, nonconforming business and industrial uses being operated on open land unimproved by any building may be continued for a period of not more than five (5) years after January 10, 1963.
(2) If any nonconforming use is, or has been, abandoned, or is, or has been discontinued for a period of six (6) months or more, intentionally or unintentionally, the subsequent use of such land shall be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in this Code, the nonconforming use of land for outdoor display or sale of goods, wares, or merchandise, whether or not such land is improved by any building, shall cease and be unlawful from and after February 15, 1971, which period of time the Council finds is fair and reasonable to permit the transition from a nonconforming use to a use which conforms to the provisions of this Code.
(c) Expansion of nonconforming uses.
(1) Nonconforming uses shall not be expanded or intensified. (2) Buildings or improvements dedicated to nonconforming uses shall not be enlarged. (d) Nonconforming uses in districts established or changed in the future. The foregoing provisions of this article shall also apply to nonconforming uses in districts hereafter changed or established, and any time limit for the suspension of a nonconforming use of land shall date from the date of the enactment of this chapter or of any amendment of district boundaries which first created a nonconforming use or uses. (e) Nonconforming buildings and improvements.
(1) Replacement of nonconforming buildings and improvements (i) If at any time any building or improvement in existence or maintained at the time of the adoption of this chapter, which building, structure, or improvement does not conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located, shall be either: (a) destroyed by fire, explosion, act of God, or act of the public enemy; or (b) demolished; or (c) fifty (50%) percent or more of the existing exterior walls of a structure above the foundation are demolished , then, and without further action of the Town Council, the building, structure, or improvement and the land on which the building or improvement was located or maintained, from and after the date of such destruction, demolition or removal shall be subject to all regulations of the district in which such land and/or building is located. The Planning Director may develop written guidelines for what is included in exterior wall demolition, which shall be measured in square feet and shall include the square feet of windows and doors that are removed.

(ii) An exception to (e)(1)(i) above is if the new building or improvement is a replacement in kind with no dimension, design or location changes beyond relocating the building or improvement from an existing zero-foot property line setback to a two-foot maximum setback for maintenance purposes and it can be shown that such building or improvement was erected either before applicable ordinances or with applicable Building permit and Planning approval. (f) Expansion of nonconforming buildings and improvements. (1) Any nonconforming building or improvement may be maintained, repaired, enlarged, extended, or structurally altered provided the enlargement or alteration complies with the use, setback, height, lot coverage and other site development requirements of the zone in which the structure is located, as well as other development regulations applicable to the area in which the structure is located.

B. Discuss Foundation Replacement for Nonconforming Residences.

No action is requested, thus this item is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1).

Planning Director Scoble presented a staff report and a PowerPoint presentation. Staff answered questions from the Commission regarding an example of the most extreme lift that someone might need to do; if this is primarily meant to address situations were the foundation is increased vertically and not horizontally; triggers for doing this; how many of these projects have come to the Commission for review; if there is a notification process to the neighbors for ministerial permits; the Planning Department review process; adaptive reuse of commercial buildings into residential.

Chair Tunny opened the Public Hearing.

There were no comments from the public.

Chair Tunny closed the Public Hearing.

Commissioner Smith provided the following comment:
• He supports a ministerial review since the nature of these projects focus on life and safety issues.

Commissioner Asselstine provided the following comments:
• She is in favor of this proposal.
• It is important to be clear to homeowner what the limit is and what the planning process will be.
• She encouraged staff to think about the parameters they want to apply on height changes, volumes below the first floor, and what is meant by a horizontal change. • The intention should be to encourage and not to discourage. 256 188
2 Legal Counsel Longfellow stated staff would like to take some time to craft that clarifying language.

Commissioner Heiman provided the following comments:
• He is in favor of ministerial review for structures that need to be raised above the base flood elevation.
• Raising building foundations outside of the flood plain is a “slippery slope” but he would still support a ministerial review.
• He wondered when this would apply for accessory dwelling structures since most would be well below the height limit. He would support a ministerial review.

Chair Tunny provided the following comment:
• This is a great, common-sense proposal.

Planning Director Scoble thanked the Commission for its comments. Staff would be drafting an ordinance and policy language for formal review by the Commission and a recommendation to the Town Council.

This item is exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and 15301
Planning Director Scoble presented a staff report and a PowerPoint presentation. Staff prepared an additional policy regarding how the new policies would be applied. Staff answered questions from the Commission regarding an example of what this is and who it will impact; who makes the determination that work done to properties not in the Flood Plain that results in the building exceeding the height limit is necessary; if they need to allow for both vertical and horizontal changes; the Building and Planning Departments review process; the maximum height increase for buildings in the Flood Plain; if the permitting process stays with a property located in the Flood Plain in the event of a sale.

Acting Chair Asselstine opened the Public Hearing.

There were no public comments.

Acting Chair Asselstine closed the Public Hearing.

2 Commissioner Heiman provided the following comments:
 The first one contains a definitive standard but the second one does not.  He suggested it be made clear that the approval is subject to the Building Official’s determination that the work was necessary. He suggested the following language: “The property may be raised and the overall height increased to the extent necessary as determined by the Building Official to accommodate the repair of the foundation”.

Commissioner Smith provided the following comments:
 He agreed that they need to be more definitive.
 He supports this path that would allow homeowners to structural upgrade property or move it out of the Flood Plain.

Acting Chair Asselstine provided the following comments:
 She brought up the issue of properties that fit into the second category such as a slab on grade foundation and the desire to create a crawl space.  It is important to recognize that the second condition might not be as explicit in the code.

Planning Director Scoble asked if the Commission wanted to make a recommendation on a definitive cap on the increase in height or simply refer to Best Practices.

Commissioner Heiman provided the following comments:
 There are no Best Practices stating that a slab on grade foundation is better than others.  He supported using the expertise of the Building Official.

Planning Director Scoble asked if the Commission would like to exclude the allowance to exceed the height limitations but allow the repair of the foundations.

Acting Chair Asselstine provided the following comment:
 She supported allowing the Building Official to make the judgement call.

M/s, Heiman/Strauss, motion to Adopt a Resolution recommending to the Town Council Ordinance Amendments to Section 10-3.607, Nonconforming uses and improvements, Section 10-4.405, Minor Intrusions into Required Development Standards for Residential Properties Table 4B to allow the repair and/or replacement of foundations for legal non-conforming residential structures. Item number two shall be modified to include the following language: “The property may be raised and the overall height increased to the extent necessary as determined by the Building Official to accommodate the repair of the foundation”

FROM:

Sean Condry, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
..title
Amendment of Town Master Fee Schedule to Include Fees for Private Parklets in the Public Right-of-Way.
..end

RECOMMENDATION
..recommendatio n
That the Town Council adopt the Resolution amending the Town’s Master Fee Schedule to include a Private Parklet Application Fee and a Private Parklet Encroachment User Fee. ..body

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On September 13, 2022, the Town Council adopted an Ordinance Amendment establishing a permanent Parklet Program (Title 7, Chapter 14 “Parklets”), and a Resolution setting forth detailed Parklet Guidelines covering issues such as safety and aesthetics. The Ordinance, Section 7-14.05, requires that Private Parklet permitees pay all applicable fees as approved by Town Council resolution. There are no fees for a Public Parklet.

Private Parklet fees are separated into two categories: 1) cost-recovery application and administration fees; and 2) user fees for the private use of public right-of-way property. At the September 13, 2022 Town Council meeting, the Council instructed staff to return with a resolution establishing Private Parklet user fees for 2 parking spaces (the space necessary for a Parklet) at $5,040. This amount represents $1.50 per square foot for a 2 parking space Parklet area of 280 feet, totaling $420 per month and $5,040 per year. The Private Parklet user fee is approximately the amount that the Town could charge for parking fees associated with the space. The Council directed that the Private Parklet user fees become effective July 1, 2023.

In addition, the Council directed staff to return with a Private Parklet application fee to cover the additional staff time necessary to process applications and perform related inspections.

Staff has estimated the cost to process a Private Parklet application and conduct necessary inspections at approximately $950.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Private Parklet Application Fee is a cost-recovery mechanism that will compensate the Town for the staff time used in processing the application and performing related inspections. Adoption of the Private Parklet User Fee would generate funds for the Town to compensate for the private commercial use of public right-of-way space. The amount of funds generated depends on the number of new Private Parklet permitees, and the number of existing Private Parklets who decide to apply for a permanent Private Parklet permit. Based on the current number of Private Parklets who appear likely to apply for a permanent permit, 192
and based on interest expressed to Town staff, it is anticipated that approximately 7 Private Parklet permits will be issued, which would total $35,280 annually for the Town.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The fees proposed herein are consistent with the goals and policies of the Town’s General Plan because they will support the Parklet Program, which is consistent with the goals and policies of the Town’s General Plan to preserve, maintain, and enhance the character and quality of life in San Anselmo; and is consistent with the Town’s Climate Action Plan since it will encourage pedestrian use of the downtown area and utilize outdoor spaces through the Parklet program.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
The fees authorized by this Resolution are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the “common sense” exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity authorized herein may have a significant effect on the environment.

WHEREAS, at said meeting the Town Council directed staff to return with a Resolution establishing fees for Private Parklet permitees for the use of public parking spaces and administrative fees to cover staff costs in administering the Private Parklet permits; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendment section 7-14-02 defines a Private Parklet as one designed for private commercial use such as outdoor dining or retail activity, and defines a Public Parklet as one designed for public use including community gathering and seating; and WHEREAS, the Ordinance Amendment section 7-14-05 requires Private Parklet permittees to pay all applicable fees as established by the Town Council, including administrative fees and use fees for the public right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, State law permits the Town to impose cost-recovery service fees to recover the estimated reasonable cost of providing a Town service for which the fee is intended; and WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to ensure that adequate fees are charged to recover the Town’s cost to process Private Parklet applications and perform related inspections; and WHEREAS, Town staff has estimated the cost to process and review a Private Parklet application and conduct necessary periodic inspections to be approximately $950; and WHEREAS, it is also in the public interest to require Private Parklet permitees to compensate the Town for the private commercial use of public right-of-way space; and WHEREAS, the Town Council desires to impose a Private Parklet Encroachment user fee for the use of 2 public right-of-way parking stalls at $5,040 per year, which amount represents $1.50 per square foot for a parking space area of 280 feet ($420 per month x 12 months); and WHEREAS, the Town Council finds that the adoption of the fees herein are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to the “common sense” exemption, CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity authorized herein may have a significant effect on the 194

Subject: 4/11/2023 Town Council Meeting Agenda Item # 3A Date: Saturday, April 8, 2023 12:46:09 PM
CAUTION: External Sender
Good afternoon,
In the event I am unable to attend the meeting on Tuesday night, I wanted to express my appreciation to the Town Staff and Council for their work on the subject of parklets. It is clear that our residents value what the parklets add to the community; your time, thoughtful approach and effort on this matter is appreciated.

With regards to agenda item 3A, I wanted to raise a couple points regarding the proposed fee schedule for the private use of public right of way. I understand the convention used to establish the fee is based on parking space displacement. The staff report indicates the $5040 annual fee is based on the use of two parking spaces representing 280 square feet. Further, the fee is noted to be approximately the annual parking fee revenue for two parking spaces.

While I agree there should be a fee of sorts for the use of the space, and use of parking spaces is likely the best method, I would urge you to consider additional factors beyond the theoretical potential parking revenue of the spaces. Seeing as we do not charge for parking in any of the areas used for parklets, there is no direct revenue to offset. I believe this gives you the option to capture less than full potential revenue for the spaces without dealing with the expense of parking enforcement, etc., while still serving the full community's interest.

Further, I believe the Covid-related shift to a preference for outdoor dining will long outlast the pandemic. In order for restaurants and cafes to remain viable, they must have a visible and material outdoor setting. To be clear, these seats are not needed for additional seating, rather they are needed specifically to satisfy the appeal for outdoor seating. Merchants have and will need to continue to make material investments to improve the parklets, beyond that investment within their four walls. This additional investment helps to drive business and tax revenue to San Anselmo which might otherwise go to other communities. In short, I believe there is some public benefit to the private use of the space. I'd ask you to consider these factors as you determine fees.

More significantly, recognizing that parklets vary in size, the fee schedule should slide based on material variances from the assumptions used in its formulation. Specifically, a parklet which consumes one parking space, such as the one we built at 625 San Anselmo Avenue, has half the impact on parking and should have a fee commensurate with the use of that specific amount of space. As such, I would propose that you shape a more dynamic fee schedule that is based on a multiplier of the number of parking spots consumed as opposed to one that assumes two spaces as proposed.

Again, thank you for your work on this topic.

Kind regards,
Marc Quinones

SUBJECT: Review and provide feedback on staff’s preliminary fiscal year 2023-24 Measure J allocation plan

RECOMMENDATION
That the Town Council review and provide feedback on staff’s preliminary fiscal year 2023-2024 Measure J allocation plan.

BACKGROUND
On July 26, 2022, the Town Council approved a resolution and proposed ordinance calling an election held on November 8, 2022, and submitting to the voters an ordinance enacting a one percent transaction and use tax for general purposes for a period of nine years.

The voters approved the ordinance in the November 8, 2022, election. The sales tax took effect on April 1, 2023, and is being collected by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration Although Measure J is a general tax and funds are not required to be dedicated to a specific use, the Council discussed a statement of intent on expenditures to outline, generally, how the Council intends to spend the tax proceeds at the June 28, 2022, Town Council meeting.

As per the Town Council’s Statement of Intent on Expenditures for Measure J, the Council intends to use the funding in the following ways:
 Repairing potholes and maintaining streets
 Reducing the impacts of drought with new water sources and storage  Improving fire protection services
 Maintaining 9-1-1 emergency, firefighter, and paramedic response times  Maintaining bridges and retaining walls
 Improving and maintaining Town parks
Additionally, confronting escalating climate challenges was also included in the Official Argument in Favor of Measure J as another potential option.

DISCUSSION
The 2013 Measure D general sales tax focused on road maintenance and improvement. Although roads will remain a focus with Measure J, there are several other potential uses that Town Council discussed for the general sales tax. Staff envisions holding an annual meeting with the Committee to review the annual allocation plan, and providing a recommendation to the Town Council during the nine-year term of Measure J.

There are a few ways that the allocation could be developed. The allocation could be allocating a percentage of the sales tax to each of the Town Council’s identified areas of need, or it could be approached through the creation of a project list where funds could get assigned. Staff anticipates the allocation plan would utilize a hybrid approach between scheduling percentages towards a specific category along with funding high-priority projects each year.

Road Maintenance
199
As roads remain a focal point of the general sales tax, staff anticipates a portion of Measure J being allocated to road maintenance each year, with the remaining forecasted funds getting assigned to a project or category. If a larger project becomes a priority, the general sales tax could be saved as was done with the Town’s Measure A Park funds which were set aside for several years until there was enough funding in place to complete the Memorial Park playing fields. An additional consideration is staff bandwidth. Staff will endeavor to create an annual plan that does not only meet the goals of the Town Council but is realistic for staff.

The Finance & Administrative Services Director will create a separate fund in the financial system called Measure J Sales Tax Fund with the anticipation that sales tax revenue received will be recorded here.

For tracking and transparency purposes, all of the expenditures related to Measure J-funded projects will also be recorded in this fund. At the end of the fiscal year, if monies are assigned to a specific project by the Town Council that has yet to be completed, those funds can be assigned to that project via the Fund Balance classifications.

On April 6, 2023, the Infrastructure and Fiscal Monitoring Committee (IFMC) reviewed staff’s preliminary 2023-2024 Measure J allocation (attachment 1). The report for the committee was prepared before the March 28, 2023, Town Council meeting where the County of Marin Public Works Department presented the status and future of Building Bridge 2 (BB2). As the Town learned that repairing BB2 was not going to be an option, staff and IFMC discussed the state of the Town’s infrastructure and areas of need. The IFMC provided staff direction to allocate the 10% from BB2, 7% to buildings and 3% to parks with no further changes to the draft allocation for 2023-24.

Conclusion: Staff recommends that the Town Council review and provide feedback on the staff’s preliminary fiscal year 2023-2024 Measure J allocation plan.

Subject: Measure J funding for a crosswalk and signal at SF Drake Blvd. and Sais Ave.

Date: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 9:32:45 AM
CAUTION: External Sender
Hello to the Town of San Anselmo Council Members:

I'm writing bc i won't be able to attend this evening's meeting. I'm writing to encourage you to direct Measure J funding to a crosswalk and signal at SFDrake Blvd. and Sais Ave for the following reasons:

The crosswalk at the main entrance to the Red Hill Shopping Center does not have a safe sidewalk area for pedestrians and bicyclists who are entering and leaving the shopping center.

It is particularly worrisome and does not provide really safe access for people with strollers and small children;
A crosswalk and signal at SFD and Sais would be a much better avenue of access to Memorial Park for pedestrians and families with strollers and little kids - there's a sidewalk to use alongside the gas station and the amount of car traffic is less than at the main entrance to the shopping center;
The crosswalk and signal would also provide easier access for people taking east-bound buses from the Sais Ave. bus stop;
As school-age kids we frequently ran across SFDrake at this point - kids do it now as well and with the substantial increase in traffic it is far more risky than in the 1950s ,60s, 70s.

I hope you will give thoughtful attention to the reasons set forth here and fund a crosswalk and signal at the corner of the Union 76 gas station on SF Drake Blvd. and Sais Ave.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

CAUTION: External Sender
I understand that there will be consideration given to a crosswalk at Sais Ave. and Sir Francis Drake Blvd. using Measure J funding at tonight’s meeting. As a resident of San Anselmo, a crosswalk in that location would be a tremendous boost to safety! As a member of Grace Church of Marin, we very much want our building to be a resource for the community. As such, it is vitally important that it be safely accessible. At times of recovery group meetings or community wide events, there can sometimes be seen people walking across the 4 lanes of traffic. I once saw a family with two young children run across because they were trying to make it to the start of a memorial service. A crosswalk there would also encourage parishioners to walk across to Red Hill Shopping Center for a meal or a coffee or to enjoy Memorial Park.

Thank you for your service to San Anselmo! Gwen Miles

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to ask that you support the addition of a new crosswalk on Sir Francis Drake Blvd at Sais Avenue. Providing a crosswalk at this intersection makes sense for the community of San Anselmo and the greater Marin community. A crosswalk at this intersection would make it safer for students and parents walking to and from school, and for Archie Williams students that frequently walk to Red Hill Shopping Center for lunch. In addition, a crosswalk in this location would provide added safety for the community that uses the gym space and community space at the Church located across the street from Red Hill Shopping Center. A crosswalk in this location would provide additional safety and access for those that use Red Hill Shopping Center on Sunday mornings to attend the church across the street from Red Hill Community Church. The city of San Anselmo has the funds from Measure J to create a new crosswalk at this location. Thanks for your consideration.

Dear San Anselmo Town Council,
I am writing to you today to consider using Measure J funding to install a pedestrian crosswalk with activated flashing lights at Sais Ave.

As a parent with two young children who is a regular attending member of Grace Church of Marin, I have serious concerns about the accessibility of crossing Sir Francis Drake Blvd. from Sais Ave. There is almost a quarter mile difference between the Bella Vista Ave. and San Francisco Blvd. crosswalks, both of which are along the major thoroughfare of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. with very little protection from oncoming cars.

As the Children’s Director for Grace Church of Marin, my biggest concern is for the safety of all ages, including nursery and toddler aged children, in the very real chance of an emergency evacuation due to an immediate threat on campus. The only family meeting points possible after an evacuation for families would be Sais Ave., which is all residential, or Sir Francis Drake Blvd., which is a major thoroughfare. Both options provide only streets, and no actual meeting point.

After consulting with Central Marin Police, it has been determined that the safest meeting point would be for families to meet at Red Hill Shopping Center. This means that children of all ages would need to escape and be evacuated down busy Sir Francis Drake Blvd. to the Bella Vista Ave. crosswalk. This is time consuming and dangerous. Having access to safely and quickly cross Sir Francis Drake Blvd. is of utmost importance for the safety of all.

As a family friendly town, I urge you to consider using Measure J funding to install a pedestrian crosswalk with activated flashing lights at Sais Ave. to help ensure the safety of the entire community.

Thank you for your time and leadership.

FISCAL IMPACT
Receiving this report has no fiscal impact to the Town.

CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Receiving the presentation on the Town’s Work Plan is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act, because it does not involve an activity which has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. (Cal. Pub.

Res. Code § 21065).

CONCLUSION
Staff seeks Council input and direction on the priorities/goals as outlined at a future meeting.

The work plan priorities will be included in the Town’s annual budget.

Before Council is the proposed work plan priorities for FY 2023-2025. After a period of thought and reflection, the staff seeks Council input in crafting the best work plan priorities for the Town and adoption of these.

Director Fiscal Services 2021 – 2022
Organize and supervise the work of the Fiscal Services team (8 members) serving SRCS which is one of the few California school districts made of two separate districts (one State funded, the other one Community funded).

Specific achievements include:
• Collaborated with Human Resources to correct position control records (650 employees, 1,000 positions) for payroll processing and for use in budget development. Reviewed and eliminated 1,200 dormant/duplicated positions that were rolling year after year for at least a decade and had contributed to budgeting errors and endless reconciliations. • Developed a Fair Share model to use during salary negotiations, establishing trust between the business office and our labor partners. Was recognized as a key player in this successful endeavor that started 3 years ago. • Designed and implemented a change of accounting practice related to the recording of payroll expenses for the 65 employees working for both districts. This resulted in addressing some non-compliant findings identified during a CALPERS audit and eliminated the accounting errors (no encumbrance of benefits) left unattended for a couple of years. • Prepared new set of visuals to present financial reports to the board and other committees’ meetings, creating a handful of impactful and visually compelling slides and moving away from a long series of static pie charts. 243

• Leveraged student information (demographics, tests results, transcripts, attendance, etc.) to demonstrate and increase awareness around achievement gaps, patterns to success, and other analysis that influence our educational strategies. • Prepared complex reports for broad dissemination, using a variety of statistical methods and presenting narrative summaries supported by appealing visuals, including various engaging presentations to the Board of Trustees. • Coordinated timely electronic student records submission for CDE accountability (CALPADS, CBEDS).

Data Analytics Work History 2010 - 2017
• Built an Enterprise Customer Insights team chartered to design innovative analyses to measure the various components of the end-to-end customer experience. • Implemented quarterly satisfaction survey in 12 languages which provided executive leadership with visibility to compare customer loyalty across all market segments. • Rolled out a wide range of methodologies that led to the team establishing itself as the go-to internal consultant group for all quantitative customer research projects. • Managed data enhancement roadmap and lead a series of Business Intelligence projects around customer retention and segmentation of the various markets.
