CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:March 22, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Jennifer Brizel, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Hold Sixth Public Hearing, Waive Second Reading and Adopt an Ordinance to Adopt a District Map and Amend Municipal Code Chapter

2.32.010 General Municipal Elections
BACKGROUND:

Over the last several years, cities, school districts, and community college districts throughout the State of California have been changing from at-large to by district elections to comply with the California Voting Rights Act of 2001 (CVRA) and/or to avoid litigation regarding compliance with the Act. During its March 10, 2020, meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution 2020-21, which expressed the Council’s “intent to transition from an at-large election system to a by- district election system for the City Councilmembers as authorized by Government Code section 34886 for use in the City’s General Municipal Election for City Councilmembers commencing in November 2020 or November 2022.” Six public hearings were held on September 28, 2021, October 19, 2021, January 25, 2022, February 22, 2022, March 8, 2022 and March 22, 2022, as well as two community workshops on November 1, 2021 and November 13, 2021.

Currently, the San Bruno City Council consists of four Council Members and a directly elected Mayor. All five Councilmembers are elected at-large. The districting process was designed to determine which neighborhoods and communities would be grouped together into districts for purposes of electing Councilmembers. The City Council sought community input over the past five months so that proposed district-based election maps could be submitted through community workshops and interactive mapping tools. Submitted maps were provided to the City’s demographic consultants, NDC, to generate the population numbers for each proposed district and other demographic details, and the proposed maps were then posted for public view on the City’s dedicated webpage: https://districtingsanbruno.org/draft-maps/. The City received 30 unique map submissions from the public. Of the public submissions, a total of 16 maps, met basic requirements for equal population and contiguity. NDC prepared and presented three additional maps for consideration.

On February 22, 2022, the City held the fourth in a series of five Public Hearings to create population-balanced districts in San Bruno for the purposes of electing City Councilmembers to ensure that each Councilmember represents a similar number of constituents. During this meeting the City Council identified a four-district map for adoption. A City Council candidate must reside within an election district and is elected only by voters residing within that same election district. Maps were discussed during the February 22, 2022 Public Hearing and a Map #104 (Attachment 2) was identified for adoption. To increase public awareness of the transition to district elections, the City activated a variety of public communication channels to engage 5 of 142

8 members of the community. Districting information was featured on the City’s website and City social media platforms. Numerous frequently asked questions (FAQs) have been posted on the dedicated districting webpages on the City’s website. Members of the community also visited Tanforan to access the map kiosk.

The City Council has discussed several possible actions in connection with establishing district elections, including transitioning from a directly elected mayor to an appointed mayor, which would result in establishing five districts instead of four, and implementing alternative voting mechanisms (such as ranked choice voting and other variants) for district elections, which requires that the voters adopt a charter. As more fully explained below, both of these changes would require a vote of the people.

San Bruno’s directly elected mayor was adopted by the people in the 1977 general election (Measure F), and therefore would require a vote of the people to repeal. The districting process must be completed by April 17, 2022, and there is therefore not sufficient time per state law to hold an election before that date to propose the repeal of the directly elected mayoral process.

The City Council was provided information during the February 22nd Public Hearing that they were not prohibited from considering and identifying both a four-district map that would be used in the November 2022 general election, and a five-district map that could be used in 2024 if the voters repeal the directly elected mayoral process in November 2022. The five-district map could not be used prior to the 2024 election because if the voters repeal the directly elected mayoral process in 2022, state law requires that the repeal can operate only prospectively, and in the case of the Mayor, at the end of the two year term that will begin after the November 2022 election. It has been suggested that the voters of the City could adopt a Charter at a special election that would by its terms repeal Measure F and establish a rotational Mayor before the November 2022 general election. This is not possible because a Charter must be voted on at a general election. However, at the November 2022 election, the City Council could propose a Charter that itself repeals the directly elected mayoral process or place a stand-alone measure on the ballot for this purpose, but in either event, the change would operate only prospectively. The City Council selected a four-district map (that would be used in the November 2022 general election).

On March 8, 2022, the City Council held a fifth public hearing at which it confirmed the selection of Map #104 and established the sequencing of district elections. The selected map does not affect the current terms of any Councilmembers, however, due to residency requirements, the selected sequencing will not allow one incumbent (Mason) to run for re-election as a District Councilmember when her term expires in 2022. Should the incumbent (Mason) desire to serve as a District 3 Councilmember in the future, the soonest the Councilmember can run is November 2024. The sequencing for District-based elections based for the selected Map #104 will be follows:
- November 2022: District 1 and District 4
- November 2024: District 2 and District 3
The City Council also waived first reading and introduced amendments to section 2.32.010 of the Municipal Code as noted below.

The proposed Ordinance adds Section D to Municipal Code Chapter 2.32.010. Per the amendments, City councilmembers will be elected on a by-district basis from four council districts and the Mayor will continue to be elected at large for a term of two years until otherwise changed 6 of 142

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:March 22, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Pamela Wu, Director
SUBJECT: Receive the 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Authorize Transmittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research
BACKGROUND: California Government Code Section 65400 requires all jurisdictions in California to prepare and submit an annual progress report (APR) on the status and progress in implementing its Housing Element of the General Plan to Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year. Cities and counties with a compliant housing element and up-to-date submissions of APRs remain eligible for SB 2 Building Homes and Jobs Act funds. The APR evaluates the status of the implementation programs and housing production for the time period between January 1, and December 31, 2021. Prior to submittal, the city is required to hold a public meeting to review the city’s progress towards implementing its housing element programs and how the share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is met. Public comments received during the meeting will be forwarded to HCD as well. The 2021 Annual Housing Element Report can be found in Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION: The APR is a tool to assist the City in implementing its Housing Element and to monitor progress in addressing the City’s housing programs and goals. HCD provides standard forms to report information required for the Housing Element APR, which includes several main sections that are summarized below:
 Table A: Tables A and A2 provide information on new residential development in various stages of the development process and affordability levels during 2021.  Table B: This table provides information on the permitted housing units by affordability levels to document City’s progress in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).  Table C: List sites identified or rezoned to accommodate shortfall housing need and No Net- Loss Law.
 Table D: This table provides the status and progress of how each identified Housing Element program and policy has been implemented.
 Table E: Lists projects that were approved for a commercial development bonus.  Table F: This table provides information on units that were rehabilitated, preserved and acquired for alternative adequate sites.
 Table G: This table provides information on locally owned lands Included in the Housing Element Sites Inventory that have been sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of. 35 of 142
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 22, 2022

Page 2 of 7 ends

 Table H: This table lists an inventory of locally owned surplus sites.  REAP Reporting: This is a reporting mechanism for any Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Grant funding that was received.

In the seventh year of the planning cycle (2021) the City issued building permits for 83 dwelling units, and a total of 286 dwelling units over the planning cycle to date. The summary table below shows the City’s current housing production against the RHNA allocation of 1,155 new units for the eight-year period from 2015-2023. This leaves a remaining obligation of 868 housing units. The table details how many building permits were issued by each income level against the RHNA target. The City issued building permits for 14 single-family dwellings which includes homes at the Skyline Ridge development and others scattered around the city. It is worth noting the City issued building permits for 68 ADUs in 2021 which highlights their importance in providing an additional housing type in the city. The city has entitled many more housing units over the course of the planning cycle which are not reflected in the housing production table below because HCD only counts building permit issuance towards the RHNA allocation.

Because the City has not met its RHNA allocation for any income category for this year, it remains subject to the provisions of Senate Bill 35, which affords developers ministerial (staff level) review within a statutory timeframe for qualifying housing projects. The City will remain subject to these provisions until it has met its proportional pro-rated RHNA allocation sum for any given year by income category.

Income Level RHNA 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Remaining Very Low 358 0 0 0 0 0 0 20 20 338

Having less than one year remaining in the current Housing Element cycle, the city will not meet its RHNA allocation and will begin looking towards the sixth Housing Element cycle with the update underway. Housing units that receive their certificate of occupancy after June 30, 2022, will be counted towards the sixth Housing Element cycle and will be considered “pipeline projects” in meeting the RHNA allocation. A summary of several development projects and their status are listed below:
 Residential Projects Under Construction – The following dwelling units currently under construction:

Skyline College Residential Project – A total of 70 units were approved by the City Council in February 2018 including 30 multi-family units and 40 single-family homes. All of the single- family homes have received final inspection and are occupied. The two multi-family buildings are under construction and are anticipated to be completed by Spring 2022. The buildings include 11 affordable units (6 low-income and 5 moderate-income). 36 of 142
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 22, 2022

Page 3 of 7 ends

Accessory Dwelling Units – The City issued building permits for 68 ADUs in 2021, a significant increase over the previous year. The reason for the substantial increase is that in 2020 the City was still requiring a separate Planning review for ADUs and we issued 51 ADU entitlements but only seven were issued building permits. HCD measures ADU production based on building permits issued. Therefore, City’s 2020 ADU production was dampened by the two-step review process. The City no longer requires a two-step ADU process which lead to a significant increase in building permits issued for ADUs in 2021 though the overall number of ADU applications submitted was consistent. Projecting forward, staff estimates ADU construction to be be more in line with the City’s 2020 and 2021 productions.

ABAG conducted an analysis of ADU affordability and concluded that in most jurisdictions, the following assumptions are generally applicable. Staff has chosen to use this methodology in lieu of conducting our own ADU affordability analysis.

Percent Income Category
30% Very low income
30% Low income
30% Moderate income
10% Above moderate
 Residential Projects with Approved Entitlements – A total of 521 new residential units are pending building permit issuance.
111 San Bruno Avenue – The proposal is to demolish the shopping center at 761 – 767 Huntington Avenue and construct a five-story, mixed-use building with a total of 62 dwelling units. The project would include a total of 11 affordable units. The project developer recently submitted a request to abandon the project and receive a refund for any remaining fees. Staff is in the process of responding to the request. The developer will be resubmitting an entitlement application for a smaller project with 43 dwelling units. 500 Sylvan Avenue – Nine multi-family rental units – This project was approved in May 2019.

Similar to the project above, it was first extended in 2020 and then qualified for an automatic entitlement extension pursuant to Assembly Bill 1561. Building permits for the project are ready for issuance.

Mills Park Center (601-611 and 643-799 El Camino Real; 701-751 Camino Plaza; 711-777 Kains Avenue) – The mixed-use development with 427 multi- family residential units and ground floor commercial space was approved in August 2020. The project includes a total of 64 onsite affordable units, including 26 very-low-income units, 19 low-income units and 19 moderate units. Building permits have yet to be submitted. 271 El Camino Real – 23 multi-family for-sale condominium units. The project was approved in September 2021 and is pending building permit submittal. The project will provide three affordable units on site and pay a partial in-lieu fee.  Residential Projects that are being Processed – A total of 325 new residential units are currently under review and pending entitlement.

Glenview Terrace – The proposal is for a residential subdivision of 29 for-sale single-family homes, with four on-site affordable units across a 3.28 acre development site. The planning application will be reviewed by the Planning Commission in April 2022 and then City Council.

Engvall - The project proposes a residential subdivision of 118 for-sale single family homes and common open spaces across the 21‐acre site which is the former location of Willard Engvall Elementary School. A minimum of 15% of the units would be affordable. The planning application and environmental review are both currently under review. 170 San Bruno Ave. - The city received preliminary plans initiating the Transit Corridors Plan pre-submittal process for a new mixed-use development located at the northeast corner of San Bruno Avenue West and Mills Avenue. The project proposes the demolition of the existing vacant building and the construction of a new 6-story, mixed-use building with 42 dwelling units and approximately 1,114 square feet of ground floor commercial space. The applicant is seeking to take advantage of the State Density Bonus Program to increase the residential density for the project. The project includes 6 affordable units, all of which are designated at the very low-income Area Median Income (AMI) level.
732 – 740 El Camino Real – This project is the city’s first application received pursuant to Senate Bill 35. The project proposes 136 dwelling units, with 8 very low-income units, 59 low- income units, 6 moderate-income units, and 61 market rate units. Although the project was found to be inconsistent with objective planning and building standards, staff is working with the applicant and anticipates the project will be resubmitted in Spring/Summer 2022.

Progress in Implementing Housing Programs
The Housing Element identifies six goals and 51 programs. The six Housing Element goals are:

1. Protect the quality and stability of existing neighborhoods through the conservation, rehabilitation, and improvement of the existing housing supply.

2. Accommodate regional housing needs through a community-wide variety of residential uses by size, type, tenure, affordability, and location.

3. Expand the variety of construction and financing techniques available to achieve new affordable housing and maintain it over time.

4. Achieve energy and environmental conservation in residential design, particularly techniques that would also reduce noise impacts on housing, while maintaining the affordability of housing units.

5. Ensure the continued availability of affordable housing for very-low, low, and moderate- income households, seniors, persons with disabilities, single-parent households, large families, and other special needs groups.

6. Support the needs of those with extremely low incomes, including access to counseling, referrals, dispute resolution, supportive housing, and emergency shelter.

Table G of the Annual Progress Report tracks San Bruno’s progress in implementing the 51 programs listed in the Housing Element. Below is a summary of the important program achievements accomplished in 2021.
 Zoning Ordinance Update. The City adopted the second phase of the zoning code update 38 of 142

which focused on properties within the Transit Corridors Plan (TCP) area and along El Camino Real. The much-needed rezoning and zoning code update were required to achieve consistency with the General Plan and was funded through SB2 Grant funding. The rezoning permits mixed-use residential/commercial development to provide capacity for the City to satisfy its RHNA obligation. The rezoning became effective in April 2021 and completes Program 2-A of the Housing Element. The update will significantly simplify the housing entitlement process in former commercial districts, as a result, staff anticipates an uptick in multi-family housing production in the city.
 Support identified housing opportunities. In 2021, the city approved the 23 residential unit project at 271 El Camino Real. The site is listed as a housing opportunity site in the city’s Housing Element and its approval satisfies Program 2-C of the Housing Element, to encourage redevelopment of the city’s identified housing opportunity sites.  Below market rate housing ordinance. San Bruno updated its below market rate housing ordinance in 2021 to reallocate the amount of affordable units required for moderate, low, and very-low income households based on ownership or rental status of the unit. The update also requires onsite units for all future residential development as the default and in-lieu payment as a Council approved alternative. The change to onsite units is designed to increase the supply of affordable housing in the city and ensure the availability of affordable units is not delayed until the city has accumulated sufficient in-lieu funds to commence a city-owned affordable housing construction project. The update to the City’s affordable housing ordinance advances Program 5-A of the Housing Element.
 Density Bonus. In 2021, the city rescinded and replaced its Density Bonus Ordinance to achieve consistency with current State Law. The updated ordinance furthers Program 5-B of the City’s Housing Element.
 REAP Grant. Staff secured Regional Early Impact Planning (REAP) Grant funds from ABAG in the amount of $42,498. The funds must be used for regional and local housing planning activities to accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance in implementing the sixth cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Such funding has been committed to complete the City’s Housing Element update.
 Reuse former school sites. Program 2-D of the Housing Element encourages the redevelopment of former school sites in San Bruno. In 2021, the city received an application to redevelop the Willard Engvall School site with a residential project containing 118 housing units.

A minimum of 15% of the units would be designated for low- and moderate-income households as required by the city’s inclusionary housing ordinance.  Support Home Sharing Programs. The city continues to implement Program 6-C of the Housing Element by supporting the Housing Investment Partnership (HIP) program, which coordinates shared housing opportunities. As of December 31, 2021, there were 20 individuals in a home sharing arrangement in the city.

Significant New State Housing Laws in 2021
On September 16, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation intended to expand housing production in California, streamline the process for cities to zone for multi-family 39 of 142

housing, and increase residential density, all in an effort to help ease California’s housing shortage. The suite of housing bills includes California Senate Bill (“SB”) 8 (Skinner), SB 9 (Atkins), and SB 10 (Weiner). What follows is a summary of each bill.  Senate Bill 8 - This is a clean-up bill impacting several previous housing initiatives. Notably, it extends key provisions of SB 330, also known as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (previously set to expire in 2025), until January 1, 2030. The bill further states that affordable and market rate residential projects with two or more units; mixed-use projects of which two-thirds of the square footage is residential; emergency shelters; and transitional or supportive housing may qualify for review pursuant to the Housing Accountability Act.

SB 8 further amends the Government Code to state that with respect to land where housing is an allowable use, an affected jurisdiction, as defined by HCD, cannot change the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of land use within an existing general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning district in effect at the time of the proposed change. “Reducing the intensity of land use” includes, but is not limited to, reductions to height, density, or floor area ratio, new or increased open space or lot size requirements, new or increased setback requirements, minimum frontage requirements, or maximum lot coverage limitations, or any other action that would individually or cumulatively reduce the site’s residential development capacity.

SB 8 further provides that a city or county may not approve a housing development project that will require the demolition of occupied or vacant protected rental units unless all requirements are met. These requirements include that the project will replace all existing or demolished protected units and that the housing development project will include at least as many residential dwelling units as the greatest number of residential dwelling units that existed on the project site within the last five years.

 Senate Bill 9 – This bill allows property owners to subdivide a single-family residential property into two lots, where two units can be built on each newly created lot. This would allow up to a total of four units in an existing R-1 zoned property with a ministerial review process.  Senate Bill 10 – This legislation creates a voluntary process for local governments to pass ordinances prior to January 1, 2029 to zone any parcel for up to ten (10) residential units if located in transit rich areas and urban infill sites. Adopting a local ordinance or a resolution to amend a general plan consistent with such an ordinance would be exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This provides cities an increased ability to upzone property for housing without the processing delays and litigation risks associated with CEQA. However, if the new housing authorized by the general plan would require a discretionary approval to actually build the housing (for example, a subdivision map or design review), CEQA review would be required for those subsequent approvals.

Progress in Removing Constraints to Housing Development This section describes local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.
 Rezoning - Phase II of the Zoning Code update removed governmental constraints to housing production in San Bruno by aligning the Zoning Code with the General Plan and the Transit 40 of 142

Corridor Plan, permitting mixed-use housing along commercial corridors where previously it was not permitted by the zoning. The rezoning removed the need to rezone commercial properties on a project level, thus removing the legislative approval process from the housing approval process.
 Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance - Phase II of the Zoning Code update also brought San Bruno’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance into conformance with state law and established a streamlined review process that only requires a building permit submittal, facilitating ADU production by establishing a ministerial review process.

Despite adverse challenges felt across the City of San Bruno during the COVID-19 pandemic, staff has strived to provide and uphold outstanding service to the community. The focus on housing production remains a high priority. In conclusion, the city will continue to pursue implementation of the 2015-2023 San Bruno Housing Element as efforts transition to the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element update. Closing out the current planning cycle, the city anticipates additional residential units to be entitled in 2022 as the recently adopted zoning code update and associated rezoning will facilitate the entitlement of more mixed-use, residential development within the Transit Corridors Plan area, furthering interest in development opportunities within this area of the city.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact. Program implementation may have impacts to staffing resources and/or projects/priorities and will be considered as part of the City’s annual budget process ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2021 and authorize transmittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR).

ALTERNATIVES:

Direct revisions to the 2021 Housing Element APR prior to submittal to the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:March 22, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Pamela Wu, Community and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Receive the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report and Authorize Transmittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development and Governor’s Office of Planning and Research BACKGROUND:

Government Code Section 65400 and 65700 mandates that all cities and counties submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of their General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year. Contrary to the Housing Element Annual Progress Report requirement, there is neither a standardized form or reporting template provided by OPR nor penalties for a late submittal.

The purpose of the General Plan Annual Progress Report is to provide local legislative bodies and the public with information regarding the implementation of the General Plan for their city or county. Annual Progress Reports also inform the public of the progress in meeting the community’s goals. The 2021 General Plan APR provides a summary of the City’s implementation effort in the last 12-month reporting period. Although San Bruno’s General Plan was adopted in 2009, this would be the City’s first APR submittal. In the past, this unfunded mandate was not able to be completed with other competing requirements. Through additional staffing resources approved in the FY 21-22 department budget, San Bruno will be submitting its APR along with other cities, such Brisbane, Town of Colma and Redwood City, to fulfill the requirement.

The requirement for local agencies to submit an Annual Progress Report for their General Plan allows OPR to identify statewide trends in land use decision-making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. Annual Progress Reports may also inform future modifications to OPR’s General Plan Guidelines. In addition, OPR can track progress on a local jurisdiction's comprehensive General Plan update using the information provided in the Annual Progress Report.

A general plan is a long-range policy document intended to guide physical, economic, and environmental growth. San Bruno’s General Plan, which was adopted in 2009, expresses the 60 of 142

1 City's vision for the future and serves as the roadmap for achieving the community's desired quality of life. It is an assessment of current and future needs, and the resources required to implement the established goals and policies. As the needs of the City change, the Planning Division – with extensive citizen input, and review and recommendation by the Planning Commission – makes recommendations to the City Council to amend the General Plan to reflect the direction for the future.

The San Bruno General Plan contains a total of 413 implementation policies within seven elements that include the Land Use & Urban Design Element, Economic Development Element, Transportation Element, Open Space and Recreation Element, Environmental Resources and Conservation Element, Health and Safety Element, and Public Facilities and Services Element.

The annual progress report on the Housing Element is being presented to City Council separately. A list of all General Plan implementing policies can be found in Attachment 1 to this staff report. The full General Plan document is available on the City’s website. The policies within the General Plan provide specific direction on how to achieve goals, commitments to specific actions, procedures, programs, or techniques.

State law allows the city to amend its General Plan no more than four times per year.

Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. In 2021, the City Council adopted one resolution to amend the General Plan aligning policies with the newly adopted Bayhill Specific Plan.

DISCUSSION:

This General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Community and Economic Department, Planning Division, with input from various City Departments including Public Works, Public Services, Fire, Police, Library Services, Maintenance Services, and the City Manager’s Office. What follows is a summary of programs, initiatives, and projects that commenced or were completed in 2021 that furthered the implementation of the General Plan.

Activities are categorized by Department.

Community and Economic Development
Zoning Code Update. In March of 2021, the City updated its zoning code for consistency with both the General Plan and the Transit Corridors Plan. The update brought some needed updates which align zoning code requirements with State statutes regarding density bonus, accessory dwelling units, and below market rate housing units. The zoning code update aligned areas that were designated in the City’s Transit Corridors Plan to allow transit-oriented zoning district surrounding the BART and Caltrain stations, and along the El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue transit corridor. Within the district, development intensities are adjusted to be in keeping with the intent of the Transit Corridors Plan to create a denser urban environment that places more housing in and near jobs, commercial amenities, and high-quality transit. Further information about the zoning code update can be found in the Housing Element Annual Progress Report. This update furthers Land Use and Urban Design Element Guiding Policies LUD-A and LUD-C to promote El Camino Real as a series of districts and to stimulate reuse and intensification for multi-use development along corridors.

Bayhill Specific Plan. The City adopted the Bayhill Specific Plan in September 2021 to ensure cohesive long-term planning for the Bayhill Office Park in the context of YouTube’s desire to 61 of 142

1 expand its campus. The specific plan established a regulatory framework for guiding private and public development within the Bayhill Specific Plan Planning Area over the next 20 years. The plan includes an option for 573 housing units, 210 housing units in the mixed-use overlay, and 363 housing units in the housing overlay. Adoption of the Specific Plan furthers Land Use and Urban Design Guiding Policy LUD-G, to promote infill development of the Bayhill Office Park with new professional offices and hotel uses.

Tanforan Redevelopment.

The document is the first step in the overall redevelopment of the Tanforan site, a vision that is consistent with Land Use and Urban Design Element policies LUD-20, LUD-21, and LUD-23 to promote the redevelopment of the Shops at Tanforan. The document envisions a mixed-used development that includes office, retail, and a minimum of 1,000 residential uses. Staff is in the early stages of engaging the new property owner on future development of the site.

Hotel Development. In May 2021, the City approved an entitlement proposal to construct a three-story hotel with 28 guestrooms on a vacant lot located at 160 El Camino Real, advancing Economic Development Element policy ED-3, to encourage high-quality hotels as a form of economic development.

San Antonio Street Rehabilitation Project. In 2017, the city received funding from the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Local Streets and Roads Program in the amount of $673,000 to use towards pavement maintenance and rehabilitation on qualifying City collector and arterial streets. These grant funds were utilized to reconstruct San Antonio Avenue between the limits of Santa Inez Avenue to Santa Dominga Avenue. The project scope of work consisted of reconstructing the roadway surface, installation of accessible curb ramps at within the project 62 of 142

1 vicinity and new traffic striping. The completion of this project reduces the City’s deferred maintenance backlog and provides residents with roadway surfaces free of cracked asphalt for motorists to drive on. Street maintenance advances Implementing Policy T-9, to continue the City’s program of street maintenance every 15 years where necessary and feasible.

Double Parking Downtown. To reduce double parking in the downtown area, the City installed white passenger zones and short duration green zones on San Mateo Avenue [White Zone - 434 San Mateo Ave (La Petite Baleen), Green - on Angus Avenue adjacent to 600 San Mateo Ave (Grand Leader), Green - 501 San Mateo Ave (Starbucks), Green - 500 and 508 San Mateo Ave (Hon Lin and Dreams] in 2021, advancing Implementing Policy T-24, which aims to eliminate double parking downtown.

Caltrain Grade Separation Project.

Recreation and Aquatic Center. In October 2021, the city broke ground on the new Recreation and Aquatic Center, integrating the Swim Center and Veteran’s Hall into one multi-programmed recreation and aquatic facility (Guiding Policy OSR-A).

Community Clean-ups. The Parks Division supported a number of community clean-ups in 2021 including: three volunteer organized clean-ups in Q1; one volunteer organized clean-up; an Earth Day tree planting, and a planter renovation at City Hall by a local Daisy Troop in Q2; and one volunteer organized clean-up and two coastal clean-up events in Q3.

ADA Compliant Park Access. The Parks Division of Community Services received a Prop 68 per Capita Grant in Q4 2021 to upgrade the pathways at Pacific Heights Park. This project is part of the ADA Transition Plan and is the final pathway in the park system that has been identified as needing rehabilitation. Work will begin in Q3 2022 and advances Open Space and Recreation Element Guiding Policy OSR-A and Policy OSR-23.

Fire
Crestmoor Canyon debris clearing. In 2021, the City continued its contract with the California Conservation Corps for clearing Crestmoor Canyon of debris fuel, focusing efforts along the existing 0.38-mile fire access road within the Canyon to provide access for emergency vehicles and along pathways that extend from the fire access road. The project furthers Public Facilities and Services Element Policies PFS-37 and 38 to clear fire hazardous materials from the canyon.

Police
Vehicle Emissions. The police department routinely enforces vehicle emission standards, that includes issuing citations for modification of vehicle exhaust systems. In 2021, several San Bruno Police Officers attended a training class specifically targeted at enforcing vehicle exhaust modifications. Following the training, the department purchased sound meters to increase enforcement of modified vehicle exhaust statues. The efforts advance Health and Safety Element policy HS-47, to enforce vehicle noise emission standards.

Citywide
New website. In December the city launched a redesigned website which serves as a hub for all things San Bruno; while at the same time, it is organized in a way that better engages with the city’s residents. It has a modern clean and simple design. In conjunction with the redesigned website the city also commenced with PrimeGov, a new agenda management system that makes it easier for the public to access meeting agenda related information for the 65 of 142

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:March 22, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Matthew Lee, Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement Amendment with Lee & Ro, Inc. for the Redesign of the Cunningham Water Tank (Water Tank No. 1) Replacement Project in an Amount Not to Exceed $405,201; Approving a 10% Design Contingency; and Accepting up to $314,500 of Funding from City/County of San Francisco toward the Redesign per the Memorandum of Agreement between City/County of San Francisco and the City of San Bruno
BACKGROUND: The City’s water distribution system includes eleven (11) pressure zones, approximately 120 miles of distribution pipelines, five (5) connections to San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) connection turnouts, four (4) groundwater wells, eight (8) water storage tanks, eight (8) booster pump stations and twenty-six (26) pressure regulating stations. Water storage tanks perform a critical function by providing storage capacity to meet operational, emergency and fire flow demands.

The Water Tank Improvement and Replacement Capital Improvement Program (Program) funds tank replacement, seismic retrofits, rehabilitation of tanks, and other significant modifications to the existing water tanks. The FY 2021-22 Program includes a project to replace Cunningham Water Tank (Water Tank No. 1). This tank replacement is a high priority within the recommended improvements because it is 58 years old and is reaching the end of its useful life.

Water Tank No. 1 is located behind Cunningham Way between Interstate 280 and Cunningham Way and serves Zone 1/4, which generally encompasses the eastern quarter of the City. Due to its age and condition, the tank can utilize only approximately two thirds of its total 2.5 million gallons capacity. The project originally considered retrofitting the existing tank but upon further investigation, tank replacement was determined to be more cost effective in comparison to the extensive retrofit costs that would provide only short-term benefits.

DISCUSSION: Replacing a tank is specialized work which requires a high level of technical expertise in mechanical, electrical, structural and potable water systems construction inspection. City staff do not have the specialized experience inspecting design and construction of water tanks recommended for this project. 117 of 142

5 In July 2013, City Council authorized an agreement with Lee & Ro, Inc. for design services to perform an evaluation of retrofitting or replacing the tank, as well as provide a geotechnical study and project plans and specifications. The designs were completed and in September 2019, the City retained Consolidated CM to assist with construction management, inspection, and pre-bid constructability review and was prepared to advertise the project for construction.

Just prior to advertisement, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), a public agency of City/County of San Francisco (CCSF), agreed to fund the redesign and construction of Cunningham Tank to increase its size by 1 million gallons to satisfy a need in emergency water storage need identified in the City’s 2012 Water Master Plan and the Groundwater Storage Recovery agreement between SFPUC and the City. This would increase the total water tank storage to 3.5 million gallons.

The City and CCSF developed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and in August 2021, the Council authorized the City Manager to execute the MOA. The final proposal costs for the redesign, which are reflected in the MOA, were provided by the Lee & Ro, Inc., a firm qualified to perform the design services. Per the MOA, CCSF has agreed to pay a fair share of up to a maximum of $314,500, which includes a 10% contingency. Payment will be provided as a reimbursement. The City will enter into a separate MOA with CCSF prior to construction.

This project will still replace the existing water storage tank with a new pre-stressed concrete tank, structurally upgraded to meet current seismic design standards. The new tank is proposed to be in the same location as the existing tank and many aspects of the original design, such as seismic and geotechnical studies, grading plans, and equipment and design of appurtenances, can be utilized and incorporated as part of the redesign. However, because the tank volume is being increased, the project will require additional environmental clearance, which is included in Lee & Ro’s scope related to the amended agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT: The total approved project budget is currently just under $235,000. Since CCSF agrees to reimburse the City up to $314,500, adequate funding is available in the project budget to execute the agreement amendment in the amount of $405,201 and provide a 10% design contingency.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The City will prepare environmental documents as part of the project redesign.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an Agreement Amendment with Lee & Ro, Inc. for the redesign of the Cunningham Water Tank (Water Tank No. 1) Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $405,201; approving a 10% design contingency; and accepting up to $314,500 of funding from City/County of San Francisco toward the redesign per the Memorandum of Agreement between City/County of San Francisco and the City of San Bruno.

5 ALTERNATIVES:

1. Reject staff’s proposal to increase the size of Cunningham Tank by 1 million gallons and proceed with constructing a 2.5 million. This would result in the City having a 1 million gallon deficit in emergency water storage capacity.

2. Direct staff to issue a request for proposals for the redesign. It is unlikely additional favorable proposals would be submitted, further delaying the project.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:March 22, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Matthew Lee, Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution:
• Approving the Design;
• Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Construction Contract with Golden Bay Construction for the Huntington / San Antonio Bicycle Corridor Project in the Amount of $1,123,104;
• Approving a Construction Contingency of $285,000;
• Approving a Total Budget in the Amount of $1,588,104; and • Appropriating $843,467 from the Gas Tax Fund
BACKGROUND: The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes an approved capital project to improve the pedestrian and bicycle network along Huntington Avenue and San Antonio Avenue. Adopted by City Council in 2016, the Walk ‘N Bike Plan identifies Huntington / San Antonio Avenue as part of the overall bicycle network providing north- south connections and is utilized by residents traveling between downtown San Bruno and the southern City limits at the Millbrae border. Providing safe, convenient, and comfortable connections for pedestrians and bicyclists along this corridor would encourage residents to embrace active transportation modes and contribute to a reduction in vehicle emissions.

These improvements are being partially funded in the amount of $385,200 by the TDA Article 3 grant which City staff successfully applied for and received in 2017. These grant funds can be used towards direct pedestrian/bicycle improvements while ancillary work related to pavement rehabilitation will be funded by a mixture of Gas Tax and General Capital Reserve Funds.

The scope of work for the project includes implementation of an enhanced Class 3 bicycle route along Huntington Avenue / San Antonio Avenue from Kains Avenue to the Millbrae border through utilization of greenbacked sharrows, installation of traffic calming measures such as radar speed feedback signs and curb extensions, construction of accessible curb ramps, relocation of storm drains and pavement rehabilitation consisting of asphalt concrete overlay. In order to provide maximum flexibility for pavement rehabilitation based on bids received, the project was packaged into a base bid and bid additive. The base bid includes the pedestrian and bicycle improvements identified above in addition to the pavement rehabilitation of San Antonio Avenue between San Felipe Avenue and Santa Helena Avenue. The bid additive includes the repaving of Santa Helena Avenue between San Antonio Avenue and San Anselmo Avenue along with incidental items such as additional accessible curb ramps and storm drain relocations necessary to complete that work. 124 of 142
