10-20.10.020 General to Walkable Community Design
1. Developments of at least three acres or at least 700 feet long or deep shall be designed per the following standards:
A. Developments of three acres or less, see Figure 1 [Walkable Neighborhood Plan Design Process Overview for Large Sites (1 to three acres)]; or
B. Developments over three acres, see Figure 2 [Walkable Neighborhood Plan Design Process Overview for Large Sites (Over three acres)]; and
C. Walkable Neighborhood Plan (WNP). Proposed development is required to include a Walkable Neighborhood Plan (WNP) in compliance with this Subsection that identifies the proposed and existing blocks, civic and open spaces, and streets within 1,500 linear feet of the proposed development.
WNPs shall include the information required in Section 10-20.10.030 (Walkable Neighborhood Plan).
2. Civic Space Required
A. Civic space shall be provided in compliance with Section 10-20.10.040 (General to Civic Space).
B. A minimum of 10 percent of the total development area, after subtracting street right-of ways, is required.
3. Streets. Streets are to be applied to create walkable neighborhoods with redundant routes for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation.
A. New streets are required to meet the standards in Ross Valley Fire Department Standard 210 (Roadway and Driveway Bridges), including maximum slope.
B. Required streets, indicated on the Zone Map or a Site Development Regulating Plan may be adjusted from their identified location by up to 100 feet in either direction.
C. The WNP shall identify the proposed street and block network.
D. Streets that pass from one zone to another may transition in their streetscape along the street's edges. For example, while a street within a more intense zone (e.g., MS.S) with retail shops may have wide sidewalks with trees in grates, it may transition to a narrower sidewalk with a planting strip within a less intense zone (e.g., N.S) with lower intensity residential building types.
4. Alleys
A. Existing alleys may be removed if street access is provided to the development sites on those blocks in compliance with the access standards of the zone.
B. Alleys may be added in compliance with Ross Valley Fire Department Standard 210 (Roadway and Driveway Bridges) and in compliance with Table A (Block Size Standards).
C. Development sites adjoining an alley and/or with a slope greater than six percent may be reduced in depth by up to 10 feet of the required depth. Rear setbacks may be reduced as allowed by Section 10-20.11.030 (Adjustment to Standards). Front setbacks shall not be reduced.
5. External Connectivity
A. The arrangement of streets shall provide for the alignment and continuation of existing or proposed streets into adjoining lands where the adjoining lands are undeveloped and intended for future development, or where the adjoining lands are undeveloped and include opportunities for such connections.

(4) Compliance Determination
(a) The Planning Commission shall identify the specific standard(s) that the project does not comply with and provide an explanation of the reason(s) why the housing development is considered to be inconsistent or non-compliant with identified provisions and shall provide the written determination to the applicant.
(b) A housing development is considered in compliance with this FBC, and shall not require a Zoning Map Amendment, if the housing development complies with objective General Plan standards but the zoning for the housing development site is inconsistent with the General Plan.
(5) Limited Hearings/Meetings. If a housing development complies with applicable objective standards, the Town shall not conduct more than five public hearings (including continuances), workshops, or similar meetings after the full application is complete in connection with the approval of the housing development consistent with Government Code §65905.5. Meetings required by CEQA are exempt from the limit.
G. Findings and Decision
(1) Findings
(a) If the proposed housing development complies with applicable objective General Plan, zoning, and subdivision standards and criteria, including design review standards, the Planning Commission may only deny the housing development or conditionally approve the housing development at a lower density if the Planning Commission makes written findings supported by a preponderance of the evidence in the record that:
i. The housing development would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the housing development is denied or conditionally approved at a lower density.

10-20.12.030 Measurement Methods
1. Sloped and Steeply Sloped Development Sites
A. Applicability. The standards of Section 10-20.05.050 (Slope Standards) apply to sloped and steeply sloped development sites. Slope is measured by taking the vertical distance, or "rise", over the horizontal distance, or "run." The resulting fraction, or percentage, is the "slope" of the land. Sloped and steeply sloped development sites are those areas of land that exhibit slopes of six percent or greater.

B. Methodology. The following methodology shall be used to identify steep slopes protected in compliance with this Article. An example of the methodology is shown in Figure 1 (Example for Defining Sloped and Steeply Sloped Development Sites).
(1) Steep Slope Determination. To qualify as a steep slope, the slope shall be at least six percent with a 10-foot vertical drop over a 100-foot horizontal distance parallel to at least one common contour line. The horizontal measurement shall cross property lines to establish if a steep slope may exist on a development site (i.e., the 100-foot minimum width calculation shall cross a property line if necessary to achieve this minimum width).

(2) Area Calculation. Steep slope areas are calculated based on the square feet of qualifying steep slope on the development site as determined in Subsection 1 above. There is no minimum square footage for each slope area.
(a) First, calculate the square footage of slopes 30 percent and greater. Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site. (b) Second, calculate the square footage of slopes between 29 and 25 percent. Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site. (c) Third, calculate the square footage of slopes between 24 and 20 percent. Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site. (d) Fourth, calculate the square footage of slopes between 15 percent and 19 percent.
Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site.
(e) Fifth, calculate the square footage of slopes between 10 and 14 percent. Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site. (f) Last, calculate the square footage of slopes between 6 and 9 percent. Determine the square footage of each area as well as the sum of these areas for the total site. 208

(3) Steep Slope Resource Area. Based on the area calculations in Subsection 2, above, Table 10-
20.05.050.A (Amount of Sloped Areas Allowed to be Developed) identifies the percentage of sloped area that is developable. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate examples of the calculated slopes and the corresponding percentage allowed for development.
(4) Sloping Development Site Building Height. Development sites with slopes of six percent or more shall measure the maximum height of structures as set forth in the zone and measured vertically from ground level beginning at the front setback line, or if no setback is required, starting at the center of the development site.

C. Average Slope. The result of dividing the length of a slope by the difference in elevation at the top and bottom of the slope.
(1) Development Sites with Even Slope. Average slope for development sites with relatively even slope across the site and small development sites is determined by using the following formula:
(a) S = ((T - B) ÷ run) × 100
(b) S = average slope
(c) T = elevation at top of slope
(d) B = elevation at bottom of slope
(e) Run = horizontal distance between the top and bottom elevations (2) Development Sites with Uneven Slope. Average slope of development sites with an uneven slope across the site before grading is determined by using the following formula:
(a) S = (1.0029 × I × L) ÷ A
(b) S = average slope
(c) I = contour interval in feet
(d) L = summation of length of the contour lines in scale feet (e) A = area of the development site in acres

2. Facade Zone Defined by Primary Building/Frontage Type(s) A. Applicability. The facade zone standards apply to new primary buildings and their additions along the front and side street of a development site.
B. Methodology. The required amount is expressed in the zone standards as a percentage. The percentage is calculated as follows through an example for the front facade zone. The same approach is to be applied to the side street, using the minimum front and rear building setbacks. (1) Identify the width of development site (e.g., 50 feet) and apply required side building setbacks (e.g., 5 feet and 5 feet).
(2) Subtract the horizontal length between each side setback and the adjacent side development site line from the total width of the development site. The result is the net buildable width of the development site (e.g., 40 feet).
(3) Multiply the required minimum percentage in the zone standards (e.g., 50 percent) by the net buildable width of the development site (e.g., 50 feet). (4) The result is the minimum length, in feet, of building facade and frontage type(s) that is required in or abutting the facade zone (e.g., 20 feet). Facades are allowed to be in any configuration if in compliance with the facade zone requirements and the selected architectural style. (5) See Figure 5 (Applying the Required Amount to the Facade Zone) for examples that are consistent with the intent of this standard.

A. Applicability. All buildings, with or without wings must have defined bays, as specified in Subsection 10-20.06.150.1 (Bay Composition).
B. Bay Measurement.
(1) Boundaries of each bay shall extend vertically from the lower boundary of the main body or wing to the upper boundary of the same division and shall not intersect any opening. (2) Boundary is considered to lie at the midpoint between successive openings unless marked by an expression of vertical structure on the façade. Bay width shall be measured horizontally from one boundary to the next.
C. Building Types and Bays. Bays shall be placed according to the following methodology. An example of the methodology is shown in Figure 15 (Example of Massing Type and Bays). (1) Select main body massing type from Subsection 3 (Building Size and Massing) of the selected building type (e.g., Sloped Roof L). See Figure 10-20.12.030.15A (Select Main Body Massing Composition).
(2) Within each volume/facade of the main body massing, identify and apply a number of bays within the allowed range. See Figure 10-20.12.030.15B (Identify the Required Number or Range of Bays).
(3) See Figure 10-20.12.030.15C (Examples of Bay Compositions in Compliance with Required Massing Proportions) for examples that are consistent with the intent of this standard.

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 2.2
MEETING DATE: July 23, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Appeal of Town Staff Determination to Require Undergrounding of Utilities for 76 Longwood Drive (APN
006-262-09)
FROM: Public Works, Town Attorney’s Office
RECOMMENDATION
1. Hold a public hearing on the Appeal of Town Staff’s Determination to Require Undergrounding of Utilities for 76 Longwood Drive (Attachment 1) and consider evidence and testimony from all parties and the public; and
2. Adopt the attached resolution denying the appeal and upholding staff’s determination that undergrounding is required for this project (Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND
A. Factual Background.
Ilya Siegel, the appellant, purchased 76 Longwood Drive in the spring of 2021. That summer, she applied for Major Remodel permit. The appellant included in the application, a valuation of $100,000 for the Major Remodel project.
On September 3, 2021, the Town Building Department sent a letter to the appellant’s representative identifying revisions required to the application and plans. Among the comments included in the letter was the following:
Please add the following note to the cover sheet: The cumulative work at your property triggers the Town’s requirement to underground utilities. Your project is within the CBC’s definition of a substantial improvement, any repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration, addition or other improvement of a building or structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the improvement or repair is started.
As such the Town’s Municipal Code 9-4.01 Underground utilities requires buildings or structures that undergo a substantial improvement as defined by the CBC to 742
Item #: 2.2
place all electrical and communication service laterals including those for cable television service underground from the main service equipment. See Code 9-4.01 for all requirements.
Please follow up with Public Works to coordinate undergrounding your utilities. ([emphasis added] September 3, 2021, comment letter for Building Permit application, Attachment 3).
On September 23, 2021, the appellant’s representative provided the Town with an updated valuation of $131,500 (Attachment 4). However, the Building Department did not accept the valuation and instead set the value of the project at $251,000 based on a valuation of $250/sq. ft.
On November 23, 2021, the Town issued Permit B2021-0525 and appellant was charged a permit fee based on the Town’s valuation (Attachment 5). In compliance with the September 3, 2021, comment letter, the Town added the following statement in red at the top of the plans under the heading “Approved with Conditions”:
The Town’s Municipal Code section 9-4.01 requires buildings or structures that undergo a substantial improvement, as defined by the CBC [California Building Code] to place all electrical and communication service laterals, including those for cable television service, underground from the main service equipment. See code section 9-4.01 for all requirements. Properties are assessed for substantial improvement over three years (five years if within AE Flood zone or Floodway).
The appellant did not dispute the undergrounding condition associated with Permit B2021-0525.
On July 15, 2022, following several rounds of comments, the Town approved revisions to Permit B2021-0525. The valuation for the Project remained $251,000 and that amount has consistently appeared on the face of the building permit card that was issued to the applicant and posted on the Property (Attachment 6).
On June 9, 2022, the Town approved a separate building permit at the Property to cover the expansion of the decks and porch with an estimated project value of $18,000. (Permit B2022-0172, Attachment 7) In addition, the appellant secured a reroofing permit, as required by the conditions of approval for Permit B2021-0525, with an estimated value of $18,000. (Permit B2022-0283, Attachment 8).
In total, the estimated value of the projects on the Property since November 2021 is $287,000.
In 2023, appellant’s attorney, John Sharp, called into question staff’s determination that undergrounding was required for the project. Staff and the Town Attorney’s office provided Mr. Sharp with information related to the project and the undergrounding requirement, including a calculation of the improvements based on the National Building Cost Estimator (Attachment 9). Nevertheless, Mr. Sharp disagreed with the Town’s approach to calculating the value of improvements. After months of discussion, staff 743
Item #: 2.2
provided Mr. Sharp with a final determination related to the undergrounding condition for the Property (Attachment 10).
On May 13, 2024, Mr. Sharp filed an appeal on behalf of his client arguing that undergrounding should not be required for the work permitted under the Major Remodel and related permits (Attachment 1).
B. Legal Background.
San Anselmo Municipal Code section 9-4.01 requires buildings or structures that undergo a “Substantial Improvement” as defined by the California Building Code to place all electrical and communication service laterals underground from the main service equipment. Section 202 of the California Building Code defines “Substantial Improvement” as follows:
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT. Any repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration, addition or other improvement of a building or structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the improvement or repair is started. ….
The Town calculates the value of the improvements over a three or five year period (five year period in the AE Floodzone), depending on the location of the property, so that projects cannot be divided into smaller segments to avoid the undergrounding obligation.
DISCUSSION
The current appeal focuses exclusively on the Town’s valuation of the project.
Specifically, appellant’s attorney, John Sharp, argues that staff should not have relied on the Marin County Assessor’s records to determine the market value of the structure before the project was completed. Instead, he suggests that the Town should have relied on the appellant’s appraisal of the improvements on the Property. The appellant does not provide any support for his assertion that an applicant’s appraisal report is the exclusive method that should be considered when determining market value for purposes of a Substantial Improvement determination.
Mr. Sharp’s appeal attaches an appraisal dated June 21, 2023, to assert that the market value of the structure is $739,900 (“2023 Appraisal” at Exhibit A to Attachment 1).
However, the Substantial Improvement analysis focuses on the value of the structure before the improvement or repair is started and therefore, the 2023 Appraisal is irrelevant to the value of a project that started in 2021.
Mr. Sharp also attaches an appraisal dated May 26, 2021, which he argues, establishes the value of the dwelling at $716,400. However, the appraisal also includes a Cost Approach to Value calculation that values the dwelling at $501,762 (“2021 Appraisal” at Exhibit B to Attachment 1, at p. 43 of the Appeal).
Had the Town been presented with the appraisal in 2021 when the project valuation was being evaluated, staff could have considered this information, along with other 744
Item #: 2.2
relevant documentation related to market value of the structure. However, the Town was not provided with appellant’s 2021 Appraisal at the time the appellant applied for the Major Remodel Permit. Instead, given the recent sale of the property, the Town followed its practice of reviewing County tax records to determine the market value for the dwelling. Unlike an appraisal, the tax records are publicly available and provide an easily accessible and objective market valuation.
The August 2021 property tax bill indicating that the market value of the improvements on the property before the Project was completed was $475,000.1 (Attachment 11).
Therefore, the initial valuation set by the Town at the time the Major Remodel Permit was issued, $251,000, exceeded 50% of market value of the structure. As additional work was carried out on the Property, the valuation of the improvements permitted by the Town rose to $287,000 and further exceeded the 50% threshold.
Staff estimated the value of the improvements under the Major Remodel Permit by applying a $250/sq.ft. value to the project. Given the extent of the remodel carried out under the permit, this amount may be an underestimate. For example, per Mr. Sharp’s request, staff used the National Building Cost Estimator to calculate the value of the Project at $423.69/square foot, which was shared with Mr. Sharp on August 8, 2023.
Under that estimator, the value of the Project was calculated to be $410,637.54 which is well above 50% of the market value of the structure before the improvement, even if the 2021 Appraisal is used in that evaluation.
In other words, by any calculation, the project value exceeds 50% of the market value of the structure before the improvement was started and is considered a Substantial Improvement that triggers the Town’s undergrounding requirement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests that the Town Council hold a public hearing and adopt the attached resolution to deny the appeal and uphold staff’s determination that undergrounding is required for this project.
In the alternative, the Town Council may take either of the following actions:
1. Grant the appeal thereby overturning Town staff’s decision.
2. Request additional information from any of the parties and/or staff and continue this matter to a future date for consideration of the requested information.
FISCAL IMPACT
Appellant has paid the Town’s appeal fee to cover the cost of these proceedings.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
1 This is similar to the 2021 Appraisal’s Cost Approach to Value calculation that values the dwelling at $501,762. (Exhibit B to Appeal at p. 43 of the Appeal).
745
Item #: 2.2
This appeal does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code section 21065, and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because there is no potential that it will cause a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

Hi John
Based on our discussion this afternoon, your client takes issue with the undergrounding requirement applicable to his property. StaT has aTirmed that they will not change their position because you have not submitted any information to support your assertion that the project on the property did not constitute a substantial improvement; therefore, staT’s final determination is consistent with the Town’s position throughout the approval process. Specifically, the Town has determined that the cumulative work at your clients’ property triggers the Town’s requirement to underground utilities. Your clients’ project is within the CBC’s definition of a substantial improvement, as any repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration, addition or other improvement of a building or structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the improvement or repair is started. As such, the Town’s Municipal Code 9-4.01 requires buildings or structures that undergo a substantial improvement as defined by the CBC to place all electrical and communication service laterals, including those for cable television service, underground from the main service equipment. See Code 9-4.01 for all requirements.
You must file an appeal and pay the Town’s appeal fee of $2,614 within 10 days.
Thanks
Megan

You have not responded to the email below, filed an
appeal or paid the appeal fee. This leads me to
believe that your client has chosen not to appeal the
staT determination that obligates them to
underground the utilities at 76 Longwood. Please
provide me with an update on the steps that have

Hi John
I have PDFs of a few of the key documents I menYoned
in connecYon with the permit for a “Major Remodel –
50% or More” on their property at 76 Longwood
(B2021-0525). I have not included documents that
relate to the second permit for addiYonal decks and
work that added to the value of the project, because
even without the second permit, it is clear that
undergrounding was required for a remodel of this
868
6 of 19
scale.
As I indicated on our call, the record demonstrates that this was not an “aVer-the-fact” aeempt to nullify or in any way alter the rights conferred by the permit.
Rather, these documents show that the Town
consistently noted the substanYal nature of the project and that undergrounding is required for such a
remodel. Your clients were on noYce from the fall of
2021 that the permit was condiYoned on
undergrounding the uYliYes. For example, in the
September 3, 2021 comment leeer from Erica Freeman
to your clients, she noted:
Please add the following note to the cover
sheet: The cumulative work at your
property triggers the Town’s requirement to
underground utilities. Your project is within
the CBC’s definition of a substantial
improvement, any repair, reconstruction,
rehabilitation, alteration, addition or other
improvement of a building or structure, the
cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent
of the market value of the structure before
the improvement or repair is started.
As such the Town’s Municipal Code 9-4.01
Underground utilities requires buildings or
structures that undergo a substantial
improvement as defined by the CBC to
place all electrical and communication
service laterals including those for cable
television service underground from the
main service equipment. See Code 9-4.01
for all requirements.
Please follow up with Public Works to
coordinate undergrounding your utilities.
Accordingly, the Town’s posiYon is unchanged.
You suggest below that you wish to have this maeer
heard by the Town Council on appeal; however, my
understanding from our call today is that you wish to
review the property file before moving forward. If you
decide to move forward with an appeal, you will have
to file a formal appeal with the Town Clerk and pay the appeal fee to iniYate such a proceeding.
Best,
Megan

Subject: Subject: RE: 76
Longwood
Megan,
The basis for the request
is as follows:
On July 9, 2021, in
conjuncYon with Permit
No. B2021-0525 , the
Town accepted Owner’s
statement of costs, and
the permit was issued, for
remodeling at the
Property. There ensued,
over the course of
approximately 2 years,
various aeempts by Staff
871
9 of 19
to inflate the value of the
project, apparently in
order to seek to have
uYliYes placed
underground.
For example, on June 20,
2023, Mr. Condry wrote to
Mr. Sigal, as follows:
“Per your approved plans
undergrounding is
required based on Town
code and valuaYon. This
is required of everyone
when they do a
substanYal remodel and
you would not have
received a
permit without this on the
plans”. This statement is
inaccurate. Moreover, it
is a retroacYve aeempt to
impose a new permit
condiYon and, as such, is
unlawful.
Such an aVer-the-fact
aeempt to nullify the
rights afforded in the
permit, parYcularly when
the permieee has relied
on the permit and spent
substanYal resources, is a
violaYon of law, as set
forth below.
Further, Ms. Freeman
relies on Assessor’s
records to determine
value. This is not the
correct means of value, as
stated in S.A.M.C. 9-1.101
and 9-1.202; rather, the
means of valuaYon should
be an appraisal of the
improvements, (as
872
10 of 19
opposed to the property
as a whole), based on
market value, and
according to Uniform
Standards of Professional
Appraisal PracYce
(USPAP). When the
permits were originally
issued, Mr. Sigal’s
valuaYon was accurate, as
idenYfied in his appraisal,
proximate to the
applicaYon date in 2021.
Owners’ request is
based upon three
theories:
Vested rights;
Avco
Community
Developers,
Inc., PlainYff
and
Appellant, v.
South Coast
Regional

“It has long
been the rule
in this state
and in other
jurisdictions
that if a
property
owner has
performed
substantial
work and
incurred
substantial
liabilities in
good faith
reliance upon
a permit

17 Cal.3d
785,
1. Inaccurate
applicaYon of state
and local law:
The Town
misinterprets its own
ordinance, with reference
to the applicaYon of the
definiYon of “substanYal
improvement”. The
California Building Code,
incorporated in the Town
Code by SecYon 9-1.101
and 9-1.201, does not
base valuaYon upon tax
assessor records, as the
Town suggests. Rather,
state law defines
substanYal improvement
as being based upon
“market value”. None of
the valuaYon methods
sought to be used by the
Town, either as created by
Staff, or from the NaYonal
Building Cost EsYmator are
valid. Thus, the valuaYon
of improvements is
875
13 of 19
misapplied, resulYng in
my client having been
singled out to
underground uYliYes
without a lawful basis
therefor.
1. Inverse
CondemnaYon by
over-regulaYon.
As you know, a
taking of
private
property can
occur via
regulatory
acYon. (CA
ConsYtuYon,
ArYcle I,
SecYon 19).
Here, the Town
has arbitrarily,
and aVer the
fact, sought to
ascribe an
inaccurate
value to 76
Longwood,
purely for the
purpose of
furthering the
Town’s
apparent goal
of forcing
undergroundin
g of all
properYes in
the Town.
While we do not
wish to escalate
the maeer, we
request that the
Town reconsider
its posiYons and
876
14 of 19
honor the permit
originally issued
for this project, by
finalizing said
permit to reflect
that all work
performed
pursuant thereto
has been
saYsfactorily
performed, and
issuing a final
inspecYon report,
reflecYng the
closing of the
permit.
Finally,
understanding
that staff intends
to deny my client’s
request, we
request that the
maeer be
agendized for
Town Council
consideraYon, at
the earliest
available
opportunity.
Please feel free to let me
know if staff will
reconsider, or, in the
alternaYve, formalize its
denial so that we may file
for appeal.
Thank you,
John E. Sharp

Hi John

16 of 19
Before we can schedule an
appeal hearing with the
Council, you will have to file
a wrieen appeal of a staff
determinaYon and pay the
appeal fee. Staff made its
original undergrounding
determinaYon when the
permit was issued with the
undergrounding condiYon
listed on the plans. You’ve
suggested that the
undergrounding
requirement should not
apply in this instance, but
you have not provided a
basis for your posiYon.
Without the ability to
evaluate your argument,
staff has no reason to
believe that the
undergrounding
requirement should not
apply to your client. If you
would like staff to consider
your argument before filing
your appeal and fee, then
you can send a leeer
explaining your posiYon.
Otherwise, you can request
that staff make its final
determinaYon about
undergrounding without
taking your posiYon into
consideraYon, so that you
may then appeal that
decision by filing the
appropriate paperwork and
fee with the Town Clerk.
You should be aware that
the wrieen appeal must
include the grounds on
which the appeal is based.
Please let me know how you
wish to proceed.
Thanks
Megan

STAFF REPORT
TOWN OF SAN ANSELMO Item #: 3.1
MEETING DATE: July 23, 2024
AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of designating Councilmember(s) to draft and submit argument regarding Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection ballot measure.
FROM: Administration
RECOMMENDATION: Consider motion to designate one or more Councilmembers to draft and submit an argument regarding the Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection ballot measure.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
For measures placed on the ballot by a legislative body, the legislative body or one or more of its members authorized by that body, may file a direct argument for or against the ballot measure. (Elec. Code, § 9282(b).) Additionally, written arguments may be submitted by a bona fide association of citizens, or any combination of voters and associations. A bona fide association of citizens is defined as a recognized group of citizens bound by a common interest or cause. The arguments will be distributed to voters in the voter information guide, which is mailed to each registered voter in the jurisdiction.
Direct arguments for or against a measure may not exceed 300 words and must be accompanied by the names and signatures of the authors. Arguments may be signed by up to 5 people, and signatories can identify themselves by name and affiliation.
Additionally, councilmembers may identify themselves as members of a council with or without the consent of the council.
If one or more arguments are submitted for or against any ballot measure, the Clerk must select only one argument in favor, and one against, for distribution to voters using the following order of priority:
1. City council or any member(s) authorized by the council;
2. the bona fide sponsor of the measure;
3. bona fide associations of citizens; and
884
Item #: 3.1
4. individual voters eligible to vote on the measure.
The deadline for filing arguments is set by the Clerk based on the time reasonably necessary to prepare and print arguments for the election. In San Anselmo, the deadline is August 15, 2024. Rebuttal arguments must be submitted to the Clerk within 10 days after the final filing dates for direct arguments. A rebuttal argument is limited to 250 words and refutes a direct argument in favor or against a measure. A rebuttal argument may be written by the author of the argument, or the author may authorize another person to do so in writing. Ten days following the final deadline for filing direct and rebuttal arguments, the documents will be available for public inspection.
On April 9, 2024, the Town Council adopted a Rent Stabilization Ordinance, which is the subject of a referendum. On May 28, 2024, the Town Council voted to place the Rent Stabilization Ordinance referendum on the November 5, 2024 General Election.
Thereafter, on June 11, 2024, 3 of the 5 Councilmembers voted in favor of submitting a ballot argument in favor of upholding the Town’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance.
On June 25, 2024, the Town Council voted in favor of a motion placing a measure on the November 5, 2024 General Election Ballot regarding Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protections.
Staff returns with this item for the Council’s consideration of voting to designate a Councilmember or members to draft and submit an argument regarding the Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection ballot measure.
FISCAL IMPACT
No significant fiscal impact.
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
Submission of a ballot argument not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code section 21065, and CEQA Guidelines sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because there is no potential that it will cause a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The Climate Action Plan is not implicated.
RECOMMENDATION
Consider motion to designate one or more Councilmembers to draft and submit an argument regarding the Just Cause Eviction and Tenant Protection ballot measure. 885

MEETING DATE: July 23, 2023
AGENDA TITLE: Designation of Voting Delegate and Alternate(s) for the League of California Cities Annual ConferenceOctober 16-18, 2024 FROM: Administration
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint a Voting Delegate and Alternate for the League of California Cities Annual Conference— October 16-18, 2024.
BACKGROUND
The League of California Cities Annual Conference https://www.calcities.org/detailpages/event/2024/10/16/default-calendar/annual-conference-and-expo is being held October 16-18, in Long Beach. At this meeting, the Cal Cities membership considers and acts on resolutions that will establish Cal Cities policy.
In order to vote, the Town Council must designate a voting delegate and alternate(s) if desired.
ANALYSIS
This conference provides training and information to elected officials and administrators from California Cities. The League of California Cities is organized to provide legislative advocacy and other support to municipal government at the State of California. It also serves as a forum for recognizing exemplary services and programs by cities.
When Councilmembers desire to attend the annual League Conference, voting delegates are appointed at a Town Council meeting.
Should one or more Councilmembers wish to attend this Conference, and wish to participate in the voting process, a formal action must be taken by Council to designate the voting delegate and alternate.
FISCAL IMPACT
Attendance to the annual League Conference is budgeted each year, therefore, no additional cost is associated.
886
Item #: 3.2
CEQA AND CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CONSISTENCY
Designating voting and alternates delegates to the annual conference 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).

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 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. 18, 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. 25. 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 25, 2024
888
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. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, 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. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

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.
890
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 memberinformed 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). 891
