City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Darcy Smith, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Presentation of an Update on the Tanforan Preliminary Project Application Submittal and the City’s Community Engagement Process BACKGROUND: On July 27, 2021, the City Council approved the Reimagining Tanforan Land Use Fact Sheet. This provides a comprehensive guide for future owners to realize City’s vision in redeveloping Tanforan. This was developed as the City’s effort to unite the three separate parcels at Tanforan into a single planning effort when the City learned that some of the individual parcels were about to be sold. The Fact Sheet articulates a vision for redevelopment that includes office, retail, entertainment, and housing units in a manner that supports a diverse mix of uses. The vision preserves and builds on what the community values about Tanforan while ensuring that it can remain viable into the future and continue to provide important revenue to San Bruno’s local economy and city services.

The Reimagining effort was successful. In 2021, an LLC controlled by Alexandria Real Estate Equities (Alexandria) acquired the approximate 15 acre parcel formerly owned by JC Penney and the approximately 14 acre former Sears store owned by Seritage Growth Properties. In 2022 Alexandria acquired the parcels owned by Queensland Investment Corporation encompassing 16.4 acres and including the enclosed mall.

On October 5, 2022, the City received a preliminary project application for a transit-focused mixed-use village comprised of 1,000 housing units, a life science campus, and retail space, including an upgraded Target and Century Theatres. The application encompasses the entire 44-acre Tanforan site. The preliminary project description is provided as Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION: This agenda item provides a presentation of an update on the Tanforan preliminary project application submittal and the City’s community engagement process.

Preliminary Project Application
The preliminary application submitted by proposes to replace the existing mall with a transit- focused mixed-use village that seeks to retain and upgrade Target and refresh the Century at Tanforan movie theater to accommodate the modern movie going experience. It also includes a meaningful residential component of the project that will help our City meet its significant State- mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) housing obligations.

The application also includes a proposed life science campus that will be owned and operated by Alexandria Real Estate Equities. Alexandria operates exclusively in the life science market

0 and is known for its innovations in the industry. Locally that includes campuses in South San Francisco, San Francisco at Mission Bay, and San Carlos.

The fabric that unites these uses is a community-serving series of spaces that connect the development to the BART station and integrates it with the neighborhood around the project site. The project will also retain and incorporate the new Tanforan Memorial, which now permanently honors the thousands of Japanese Americans processed for detainment at Tanforan during World War II and stands as a symbol against future injustice.

City Review of Preliminary Application
The City has initiated a comprehensive review by all City reviewers. Application feedback will be provided by the City to ensure project is in alignment with the City’s vision and requirements.

The City will initiate technical analysis, studies, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of project. The City will also work with key stakeholders, agencies, and other interested parties, including SFO and FAA.

City’s Community Engagement Process
On October 13, 2022, the City kicked off the initial phase of the City led “Tanforan for San Bruno” community engagement effort. This started with the release of a dedicated City Manager’s eNewsletter and launch of the City dedicated engagement website. The purpose of this effort is to keep the community informed of the project and solicit community input throughout the City’s planning process. It is a transparent, community-focused effort. The effort is founded on the Reimagining Tanforan vision, and grounding its purpose in an expanded City review process to include substantial community prioritization appropriate to the significance of this project. Following the public introduction and first City meeting on October 25, 2022, a series of community meetings will be held in November at the City engagement storefront to help inform the priorities around San Bruno’s future and guide the City’s review of the project.

The City’s robust community engagement process serves to hear from San Bruno about what’s most important. The goal is to establish a shared vision and guiding principles on what matters most to the community as the City studies and understands the application. This conversation will explore Tanforan’s past, identify the City’s emerging needs and opportunities, and help articulate what matters most to the community. This extended review effort is appropriate due to the significance of the project, its proximity to public transit, and the importance of the opportunity to address emerging and future needs that impact not just the immediate surrounding area, but San Bruno as a whole. The additional community conversation throughout the process will help us take advantage of this once in a generation opportunity, and ensure that the community’s priorities are aligned with those of the project applicant to ensure that the next life of Tanforan is successful for everyone.

Key components of the engagement effort include a website and storefront space:
● City Dedicated Website: The City’s dedicated website, Tanforanforsanbruno.com, will become a central point of information for this process that will be conducted over the next several months in person and virtually. The website provides context, virtual engagement tools, and application information. It will solicit meaningful virtual input. Questions posted by the public can be responded to. Dates of future meetings and events related to the project will be posted here. ● Engagement Storefront at Tanforan: A storefront space inside Tanforan mall will be utilized by the City for in-person participation. The space will host a variety of meeting formats, including

0 community meetings, drop in office hours, and small group meetings. The space format is both informational and participatory through exercises that seek to focus feedback on topics that are important and relevant to Tanforan.

The proposed schedule for engagement is as follows:
● November 2022 – Community meetings and online engagement begin. ● December 2022 to February 2023 – Additional meetings and office hours. ● Early 2023 – Community meeting series continued.
● Spring 2023 – Develop and deliver a community priorities report to be presented to the City Council.

The outcome of this effort is a report to help establish community priorities based on public input and expert analysis. The identification of community priorities will help focus the City's review of the project. The report will be hosted on website for community to review. Feedback on the report will be taken and engagement will continue throughout 2023.

The City’s communication methods to distribute information related to this effort includes the City’s social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), City-wide direct mail, email, and various social and digital advertising. For formal meetings on the project, the City will provide public notices mailed to property owners within 1,000 feet on the site, in additional to legal newspaper notices and social media posts.

NEXT STEPS: The filing of the preliminary project application is just the start of an approximately 18-to-24 month City review process. The planning entitlement process for the project will include technical studies, environmental analysis and economic assessments. This includes a comprehensive City review for conformance of the project to the City’s General Plan, land use regulations, and the analysis required by the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) culminating in the development of a project Environmental Impact Report. The process will include public meetings with the City’s Planning Commission, as well as multiple public City Council meetings before being considered for final action.

Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Matthew Lee, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement for Consultant Services With Pavement Engineering Inc. for Pavement Evaluation Services for the 2021-22 Street Reconstruction Project in an Amount Not to Exceed $255,720
BACKGROUND: The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Pavement Management Program (PMP) to repair and apply preventative maintenance treatment to local, collector, and arterial streets. As part of the PMP, the condition of City streets is routinely assessed and recommendations are made on the streets to be selected for rehabilitation to cost effectively maximize pavement longevity. Street condition is measured in terms of pavement condition index (PCI), a numerical index between 0 and 100 in which 0 represents a failed street and 100 represents a newly paved street. The City has a current average Citywide PCI of 62.

Senate Bill 1 (SB1), also referred to as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, increased the per gallon fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees to fund road maintenance and rehabilitation projects on local streets and roads systems. For the FY 2022-23, the City received approximately $995,000 of SB1 funding. In order to receive this funding, the City was required to submit to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a list of projects proposed to be funded with the SB1 funds and adopt those projects by resolution at a regular public meeting by July 1, 2022. On June 14, 2022, City Council adopted a list of projects for fiscal year 2022-23 to be funded by SB1. Projects funded by SB1 are included in the City’s 2021-22 Street Reconstruction Project.

The list of streets identified in Attachment 3 will be included in the upcoming pavement evaluation effort. Upon completion of a detailed pavement evaluation, future paving projects on failed streets can be more accurately budgeted and the City can begin to more quickly address and repave with a more cost-effective treatment for those streets on the failed and near failed list.

DISCUSSION: In September 2022, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Pavement Evaluation Services for the 2021-22 Street Reconstruction Project.

The scope of work consists of collecting core samples, performing deflection testing, and

52 of 243

0 developing design recommendations. As mentioned in the Background section, the pavement condition of a street segment is represented using PCI. The basis of PCI is a visual assessment of various types and severity of pavement deterioration. Though these visual assessments are a cost-effective way to provide high-level condition information, they do not necessarily indicate whether a visually failed street is structurally failed. Performing this pavement evaluation will allow the City to determine which streets are structurally failed.

For those street segments that are structurally sound, they can potentially be repaired with more cost-effective pavement treatments such as asphalt concrete overlays. The more cost-effective treatments may be implemented in an earlier timeframe compared to pavement reconstruction. This can be done in conjunction with future asphalt concrete overlay efforts.

Qualified consultants were invited to submit proposals to conduct pavement testing and analysis, to provide rehabilitation recommendations based on findings, and to develop and prepare a design report. The Request for Proposals was sent to (5) five consultants from a qualified on-call vendor list and posted on the City’s website.

On September 9, 2022, staff received (2) two proposals. Staff conducted an evaluation on the received proposals based on the following criteria:
• Proposed work plan and approach
• Familiarity with policies and procedures relation to the work effort • Quality and completeness
• Relevance and conciseness
• Qualifications and experience of staff
• Qualifications relating to pavement analysis and design • Completion of similar projects and references
• Manpower allocation
Based on the evaluation of proposals, staff is recommending Pavement Engineering Inc. to provide professional engineering services for the scope of work described above. Pavement Engineering Inc. (PEI) is highly qualified, has demonstrated accurate project understanding, has substantial design experience on pavement projects and has successfully completed similar design projects for the City of Concord, City of Berkeley, City of San Bruno, and other public municipalities across the Bay Area. PEI previously successfully provided pavement evaluation services for the City of San Bruno in 2019.

Prior to the RFP issued in September 2022, the City had issued a RFP in October 2021 to evaluate 5 streets on the failed list. Based on their qualifications PEI was selected to perform the work. An agreement for this work in the amount of $35,280 is in place. In addition to expediting the overall street evaluation process, City staff anticipated that there could be economies of scale in issuing a RFP for all the streets on the failed and near failed streets list, which is the case.

PEI has been selected to provide pavement evaluation services due to their experience, professionalism and reliability. With the information collected by PEI and recommendations provided, detailed design can be performed.

0 FISCAL IMPACT: The Pavement Evaluation Services for the 2021-22 Street Reconstruction Project is a project within the approved FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program. The cost of this contract is $255,720 and within the total project budget available in the current fiscal year. The total estimated costs for the project are in this section.

Total estimated cost for the project:

Consultant Cost for Pavement Evaluation $ 255,720 Estimated Staff Management for
Pavement Evaluation $ 40,000
Total Current Estimate: $ 295,720 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project falls withing the Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA guidelines, Section 15306, which exempts basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement for consultant services with Pavement Engineering Inc. for the Pavement Evaluation Services for the 2021-22 Street Reconstruction Project in an amount not to exceed $255,720.

ALTERNATIVES: Do not adopt resolution authorizing execution of agreement, and request staff to issue a new request for proposals. This action would result in the delay of data collection used for the design of various City pavement repair projects.

Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Darcy Smith, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Quarter 1 Building Division Customer Service Survey Results
BACKGROUND: On October 27, 2020, the City Council approved a resolution appropriating funds for consultancy and staff augmentation services to provide organizational support for and analysis of the Community and Economic Development Department. An agreement for consultant services was executed in November 2020 with Municipal Resource Group, LLC. This work included an assessment of a review of the department organizational structure, staffing levels, and development of an implementation action plan for enhancements to customer service. At the April 29, 2021, City Council meeting, the Community and Economic Development Department Organizational Review Report was reviewed. The Report included a total of 23 recommendations, including an annual customer satisfaction survey of building permit applicants.

Staff added a customer survey for the Building Division to the City’s website on July 16, 2022, to gather data on the permitting and inspection process. The survey results enable the City to acquire reliable data of community’s opinions in order to make strategic decisions on improvements. On July 26, 2022, staff presented development related staffing and service contract update to City Council. During the meeting, staff reviewed the survey webpage and obtained feedback from City Council to modify the survey. City Council requested a follow-up staff report and survey results on a quarterly basis. This report presents the Fiscal Year 2021- 2022 Quarter 1 Building Division customer service survey results.

DISCUSSION: As of October 17, 2022, 16 individuals have participated in the Building Division customer service survey. The survey includes identifying questions as well as ratings on the building permit experience. Per the City Council’s feedback, staff added optional fields for respondents to provide building permit numbers and contact information for the Building Division to contact the participant if needed to follow up.

Identification
From the 16 responses, 43.75% of the respondents identified as Contractors and 56.25% of the respondents identified as Owner of the building or project. Approximately 94% of the respondents worked with the Building Division on residential projects.

9 Customer Feedback
When asked to rate the customer service received from the Building Division, 75% respondents rated the process as Excellent. When asked if the building permit approval process was described at the beginning of the process, 73% of the respondents answered Yes. 87.50% of the respondents also indicated that the building inspector acted in a professional manner.

Overall, the 16 participants rated their experience with the building division an average of 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Staff reviewed the feedback and suggestions left by participants for City to improve the building permit or building inspection process. Some of the feedback included:

1. Provide touchless inspection reports via tablets.

2. Online scheduling option for building inspection.

3. Provide smaller time-window for scheduled inspection.

Conclusion
The City is working to upgrade the building permit software, with a launch anticipated in early 2023. The City will examine improvements to inspection reports and timing and online scheduling as part of this upgrade.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for receiving this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The City Council’s receipt of this report is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the report.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Receive the survey report from the Community and Economic Development Department on the building related services provided to the City and provide input and direction to staff; or

2. Provide alternative direction to staff.

PREPARED BY:Jennifer Dianos, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: Approve City of San Bruno Response Letter to the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury Report “A Delicate Balance between Knowledge and Power: Government Transparency and the Public’s Right to Know" BACKGROUND: On August 9, 2022, the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury released a report entitled “A Delicate Balance between Knowledge and Power: Government Transparency and the Public’s Right to Know." The purpose of the report is to determine how cities in San Mateo County meet the requirements of the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Within the report, the Grand Jury developed five total findings and five total recommendations. The City of San Bruno is required to respond to findings numbered three and five, and recommendations numbered two, three, and four.

The City of San Bruno’s responses to its allocated findings and recommendations are to be submitted to the Grand Jury no later than ninety days following the issuance of the report, which is no later than November 9, 2022.

DISCUSSION: The Grand Jury report includes two findings and three recommendations allocated to the City of San Bruno. The City of San Bruno is required to respond to each allocated finding and recommendation. The findings include observations related to the public’s online access to records, including webpage navigation and ease of use. The recommendations include options for City staff to better facilitate record management practices and responses to CPRA requests.

Staff has reviewed the findings and recommendations and has prepared a response letter for City Council approval, attached to this report. In summary, staff has a basis to both disagree and partially disagree with the findings listed within the report, as provided within the response letter. However, Staff agrees with all report recommendations, one of which has already been implemented.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no new fiscal impact associated with preparing this response to the Grand Jury Report. Prospective costs associated with record management practices or the purchase of commercially available public records request software will be included during the regular annual budgeting process.

Subject: Response of the City of San Bruno to the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury Report “A Delicate Balance between Knowledge and Power: Government Transparency and the Public’s Right to Know"
Dear Judge Lee,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Grand Jury report entitled “A Delicate Balance between Knowledge and Power: Government Transparency and the Public’s Right to Know." The City of San Bruno’s response to its allocated findings and recommendations are listed below.

Responses to Allocated Grand Jury Findings:

F3. Information about how to access public records requires multiple click to find on the City’s website, which hinders the public’s access to public records.

Response:

Partially Disagree. Information to access public records can be accessed with one click from the City’s website. However, there are multiple ways to access such information, some of which can take multiple clicks.

F5. The City has no PRA request form online, making public access to public records less efficient.

Response:

Disagree. The City’s official website has the following PRA request form with clear access links allowing the public to efficiently submit a request: https://www.sanbruno.ca.gov/214/Public- Records-Request.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Jennifer Dianos, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Declaring the Continued State of Local Emergency and Need for the City Council and Other Legislative Bodies Subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act to Continue to Teleconference in Order to Ensure the Health and Safety of the Public Pursuant to AB 361
BACKGROUND: On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency to make additional resources available, formalize emergency actions already underway across multiple state agencies and departments, and help the State prepare for a broader spread of COVID-19.

On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which suspended certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act to allow local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means. Additionally, the State implemented a shelter-at-home order, requiring all nonessential personnel to work from home.

In response to the Executive Order, City of San Bruno staff created Zoom accounts for various departments and underwent training to ensure that City Council meetings could continue safely for the City Council members, City staff, and members of the public. The City Council has conducted virtual meetings since April 2020 and the City’s Commissions, Boards and Committees began meeting virtually in June 2020. The usage for Zoom for public meetings has allowed the City to ensure the public’s continued access to government meetings while also ensuring the public’s safety.

On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021 for agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Ralph M. Brown Act. Since Executive Order N-08-21 was enacted, various COVID-19 variants have emerged, which has resulted in an increase or steady amount of confirmed COVID-19 cases throughout San Mateo County. Taking these factors into account, the City of San Bruno has continued its public meetings in the virtual setting and wishes to maintain this format to preserve the health and safety of its staff, elected officials and constituents.

AB 361 was signed into law by the Governor on September 16, 2021, went into effect immediately as urgency legislation (codified under Government Code § 54953), and allows local legislative bodies to continue to meet remotely beyond the current executive order’s expiration

of September 30, 2021, in any of the following circumstances:
•The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency, and state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing. •The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. •The legislative body holds a meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and has determined, by majority vote, pursuant to subparagraph (B), that, as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. (Government Code § 54953(e)(1)(A)-(C).)
On February 17, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom lifted several states of emergency that were in place in California but kept the state of emergency for COVID-19 intact. The City of San Bruno state of emergency continues to remain active, as well.

DISCUSSION: City staff have reviewed the provisions as detailed in AB 361, signed into law by Governor Newsom in September 2021, and determined the following findings can be made to meet the above provisions of AB 361:
•The State of California remains under the COVID-19 state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act. •The emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person.

On October 26, 2021, during a regular meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution making necessary findings so that the City may continue to teleconference public meetings without adhering to all of the Brown Act’s teleconferencing requirements, in order to ensure the health and safety of the public. The public has the ability to attend public meetings by teleconference accessibility via call-in option or an internet-based service option (via the Zoom Webinars platform). Meeting details, including the Zoom link and accessible phone numbers, are listed on the published agenda for each meeting. City staff provides access for public comment during the meeting by participants in the Zoom meeting or by phone in real time. Written public comments are also accepted by email, at [email protected], prior to the meetings, and as detailed on the published agenda.

The City of San Bruno has also made City Council meetings available on the City of San Bruno’s YouTube channel and San Bruno CityNet Services’ local Channel 1.

The City Council may continue to teleconference public meetings under AB 361 if the City Council makes findings every 30 days during the proclaimed state of emergency.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no 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.

(ii) In each instance in which notice of the time of the meeting is otherwise given or the agenda for the meeting is otherwise posted, also give notice of the means by which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer public
comment. As to any instance in which there is a change in such means of public observation and comment, or any
instance prior to the issuance of this Order in which the time of the meeting has been noticed or the agenda for the
meeting has been posted without also including notice of such means, a body may satisfy this requirement by
advertising such means using "the most rapid means of
communication available at the time" within the meaning of Government Code, section 54954, subdivision (e); this shall include, but need not be limited to, posting such means on the body's Internet website.

All of the foregoing provisions concerning the conduct of public meetings shall apply through September 30, 2021.

An act to add and r epeal Section 89305.6 of the Education Code , and to amend, repeal, and add Section 54953 of of, and to add and repeal Section 11133 of , the Go vernment Code, relating to local government, open meetings, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 361, as amended, Robert Rivas. Open meetings: state and local agencies: teleconferences.

Existing
(1)  Existing law, the Ralph M. Bro wn Act requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency, as those terms are defined, be open and public and that all persons be permitted to attend and participate. The act contains specified provisions regarding the timelines for posting an agenda and pro viding for the ability of the public to directly address the legislative body on any item of interest to the public. The act generally requires all regular and special

94 56 of 206
Attachment 4

128 of 243

meetings of the le gislative body be held within the boundaries of the territory over which the local agency exercises jurisdiction, subject to certain e xceptions. The act allo ws for meetings to occur via teleconferencing subject to certain requirements, particularly that the legislative body notice each teleconference location of each member that will be participating in the public meeting, that each teleconference location be accessible to the public, that members of the public be allowed to address the legislative body at each teleconference location, that the legislative body post an agenda at each teleconference location, and that at least a quorum of the le gislative body participate from locations within the boundaries of the local agency’s jurisdiction. The act provides an exemption to the jurisdictional requirement for health authorities, as defined. The act authorizes the district attorne y or any interested person, subject to certain provisions, to commence an action by mandamus or injunction for the purpose of obtaining a judicial determination that specified actions taken by a legislative body are null and void.

Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor, or the Director of Emer gency Services when the go vernor is inaccessible, to proclaim a state of emer gency under specified circumstances.

Executive Order No. N-29-20 suspends the Ralph M. Bro wn Act’s requirements for teleconferencing during the CO VID-19 pandemic provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the legislative body at the meeting, and that a legislative body of a local agency has a procedure for recei ving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 1, 2024, w ould authorize a local agenc y to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Ralph M. Bro wn Act when a legislative body of a local agenc y holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined, when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emer gency held for the purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person w ould present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, as provided.

129 of 243

This bill would require legislative bodies that hold teleconferenced meetings under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures to give notice of the meeting and post agendas, as described, to allow members of the public to access the meeting and address the legislative body, to give notice of the means by which members of the public may access the meeting and offer public comment, including an opportunity for all persons to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option, and to conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body. The bill would require the legislative body to take no further action on agenda items when there is a disruption which prevents the public agency from broadcasting the meeting, or in the e vent of a disruption within the local agenc y’s control which pre vents members of the public from of fering public comments, until public access is restored. The bill would specify that actions taken during the disruption are subject to challenge proceedings, as specified.

This bill w ould prohibit the le gislative body from requiring public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and would specify that the legislative body must provide an opportunity for the public to address the legislative body and of fer comment in real time. The bill would prohibit the le gislative body from closing the public comment period and the opportunity to register to provide public comment, until the public comment period has elapsed or until a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, as specified. When there is a continuing state of emergency, or when state or local officials ha ve imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, the bill w ould require a legislative body to make specified findings not later than 30 days after the first teleconferenced meeting pursuant to these provisions, and to make those findings every 30 days thereafter, in order to continue to meet under these abbreviated teleconferencing procedures.

Existing law prohibits a state legislative body from requiring, as a condition to attend a meeting, a person to re gister the person’s name, or to provide other information, or to fulfill any condition precedent to the person’s attendance.

This bill w ould e xclude from that prohibition, a re gistration requirement imposed by a third-party internet website or other online platform not under the control of the legislative body. (2)  Existing law, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, requires, with specified exceptions, that all meetings of a state body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend any meeting of a state body. The 94 AB 361 — 3 —

58 of 206

130 of 243

act requires at least one member of the state body to be physically present at the location specified in the notice of the meeting.

The Go vernor’s Executive Or der No. N-29-20 suspends the requirements of the Ba gley-Keene Open Meeting Act for
teleconferencing during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided that notice and accessibility requirements are met, the public members are allowed to observe and address the state body at the meeting , and that a state body has a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for reasonable accommodation for individuals with disabilities, as specified.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility r equirements, a state body to hold public meetings thr ough teleconfer encing and to mak e public meetings accessible telephonically, or otherwise electr onically, to all member s of the public seeking to observe and to addr ess the state body . With respect to a state body holding a public meeting pur suant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of existing law, including the r equirements that eac h teleconfer ence location be accessible to the public and that member s of the public be able to address the state body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and address the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any requirement that the state body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and offer public comment. The bill would r equire that eac h state body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting , and post the agenda, as provided. The bill would urge state bodies utilizing these teleconferencing procedures in the bill to use sound discr etion and to mak e r easonable ef forts to adher e as closely as r easonably possible to existing law, as provided.
(3)  Existing law establishes the various campuses of the California State Univer sity under the administr ation of the Trustees of the California State University, and authorizes the establishment of student body organizations in connection with the oper ations of California State University campuses.

The Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act of 2000 generally requires a legislative body, as defined, of a student body organization to conduct its business in a meeting that is open and public. The act authorizes the legislative body to use teleconfer encing, as defined, for the benefit of the public and the legislative body in connection with any meeting or proceeding authorized by law.

This bill, until January 31, 2022, would authorize, subject to specified notice and accessibility requirements, a legislative body, as defined for purposes of the act, to hold public meetings thr ough teleconferencing and to mak e public meetings accessible telephonically , or otherwise electronically, to all member s of the public seeking to observe and to address the legislative body. With respect to a legislative body holding a public meeting pursuant to these provisions, the bill would suspend certain requirements of e xisting law, including the r equirements that each teleconfer ence location be accessible to the public and that members of the public be able to addr ess the legislative body at each teleconference location. Under the bill, a legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing and allows members of the public to observe and addr ess the meeting telephonically or otherwise electronically would satisfy any r equirement that the le gislative body allow members of the public to attend the meeting and of fer public comment. The bill would require that each legislative body that holds a meeting through teleconferencing provide notice of the meeting, and post the a genda, as pr ovided. The bill would ur ge legislative bodies utilizing these teleconfer encing pr ocedures in the bill to use sound discretion and to mak e r easonable ef forts to adher e as closely as reasonably possible to existing law, as provided.

This
(4)  This bill would declare the Le gislature’s intent, consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order No. N-29-20, to improve and enhance public access to state and local agency meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options.

This
(5)  This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 54953 of the Government Code proposed by AB 339 to be operati ve only if this bill and AB 339 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.

The
(6)  The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect. 94 AB 361 — 5 —

(7)  Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and a gencies be adopted with findings demonstr ating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.

This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.

This

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
Trisha Ortiz, Interim City Attorney

SUBJECT:Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Convert an Existing Legal Secretary Position Assigned to the City Attorney’s Office to a Management Analyst I/II Position

BACKGROUND
Personnel support assigned to the City of San Bruno’s City Attorney’s Office has historically consisted of two city positions – a full-time (in-house) City Attorney and a full-time Legal Secretary. Additional legal support is provided by outside counsel assigned to specific projects, managed under the direction of the City Attorney.

The City evaluated staffing for the City Attorney’s office following the in-house City Attorney’s announcement that he was retiring, and this report recommends converting the Legal Secretary position to a Management Analyst I/II position. The additional cost of this classification adjustment is projected at $5,200 annually, inclusive of salary and benefit expenses. No additional budget appropriation is requested for the current 2022/23 fiscal year. Going forward, the additional costs will be incorporated into future annual budgets for the City Attorney’s Office.

DISCUSSION
The following is a summary of the key duties assigned to the Legal Secretary position. •Office Administration
Answer phones, open mail, process office payroll, order office supplies, and update the City’s law library. Draft, finalize and mail correspondence. Schedule City Attorney meetings. Coordinate depositions and deposition preparation meetings. •Invoice Processing
Processes City Attorney Office invoices and routes for review, approval and payment.
•Worker’s Compensation
Supports the City’s workers’ compensation claims administrator. Receives and processes medical injury claim packets as well as declination packets for submission to the claims administrator. Coordination with human resources and departmental

staff on work restrictions. Reviews and circulates work status reports and ensures proper workers’ compensation leave/work classifications. Processing of workers’ compensation invoices for payment.
•Certificates of Insurance
Administration and tracking of Certificates of Insurances citywide from City vendors and issuance of City certificates in coordination with San Bruno’s risk pool/insurance provider(s).
•Public Records Act Requests
Central administration of all Public Information Act Requests. Routes to appropriate department/staff for collection of documents, monitors response deadlines and provides reminders and requests extensions when necessary. Supports review by City Attorney and oversees final delivery of requested documents. •Subpoenas
Central administration of all subpoenas received by the City. Routes to appropriate personnel, collects responsive documents and monitors response deadlines.

Supports review by City Attorney and ensures timely compliance with all subpoenas requirements and submits Declaration of Custodian of Records Forms. •Weapons Petition
Supports the Police Department with mental health related weapon pleadings. Drafts pleadings, supports City Attorney review and files with the Court within required timeframes.
•City Property Damage Claims
Central processing for all claims for damage to City property. Coordinates with the Police Department, Public Works and the City Attorney as well as other invoiced parities. Drafts and sends demand letter to third parties and/or their insurance company. Coordinates Restitution Claims with the District Attorney’s Office. Monitors all claims for payment and works with appropriate personnel to resolve non-payment issues.
•Third-Party Claims
Coordinates and tracks third-party claims against the City. Processes and circulates claims for review by the City Attorney and the City’s risk pool/insurance provider(s).

Drafts claim decision letters, where appropriate.

To support an adjustment of broader duties for the position, provide better internal alignment with other City positions, and increase the viable pool of candidates for the position, the City Manager recommends converting the position to a Management Analyst I/II position. The Management Analyst position is a flexible position, whereby the junior (I) and senior (II) level classifications are journey positions that increase based on knowledge, skills, and abilities of the incumbent/candidate. In contrast to the Legal Secretary duties, a Management Analyst’s duties can be more project-driven and allow for strategic and focused work assignments to align with the City’s current needs and priorities.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

If approved, upon the conversation of the Legal Secretary position to a Management Analyst I/II position, the City Manager intends to make the following adjustments in duty/task assignments. Other job assignments may occur in the future. •Office Administration: General administrative tasks will be split between the Management Analyst and other administrative staff within the City Manager’s Office.

Additionally, maintenance of the City’s Law Library will be assigned to City Library staff.
•Public Records Act Requests and Subpoenas: Administration of these functions will be transitioned to the City Clerk’s Office and overseen by the City Clerk. •Risk Management: The Management Analyst position will support citywide risk management, monitor claims trends and work with all city departments to lower risk, reduce injury as well as support the development and implementation of risk reduction policies citywide. The position will also work with the City’s risk pool/insurance provider(s) to implement best practices in risk reduction. This is a new role that is anticipated to be a major improvement in how the City supports and staffs’ risk management.

The job description for the Management Analyst I/II is a board classification that is used across various City departments and the general duties and responsibilities that are assigned to the Legal Secretary position fit within the Management Analyst I/II position.

Attachment 2 includes a copy of the current job description for the Legal Secretary position and Attachment 3 includes a copy of the current job description for the Management Analyst I/II position.

The Legal Secretary position is currently an unrepresented / confidential position. This personnel classification will remain if the position is converted to a Management Analyst I/II position.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The currently authorized annual salary ranges for the Legal Secretary and Management Analyst I/II positions are below.

Position Min Annual Salary Max Annual Salary
Legal Secretary $80,112 $98,304
Management Analyst I $83,016 $101,376
Management Analyst II $95,436 $117,360
Staff recommends a budgeted funding level for the proposed Management Analyst I/II position at the top step (max salary) of the Management Analyst I position. This will allow for filling the position at the top step of the level “I” classification or up to the second step of the level “II” classification. The total salary difference of this change from the current budgeted

156 of 243

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
October 25, 2022

Page 4 of 4 ends

salary for the Legal Secretary position is $3,072 (from $98,304 to $101,376). With related benefit costs, the estimated total annualized cost of the change is $5,200 for FY 2022-23.

No additional budget appropriation is requested for the current 2022/23 fiscal year. If approved, the transition will likely occur in December 2022 and the projected additional cost in the current fiscal year is projected at 60% of the annualized estimated cost of $5,200 (which is $3,120). This amount will be funded with salary savings from vacant positions the City Manager’s Office.

Going forward, the additional costs will be incorporated into future annual budgets for the City Attorney’s Office.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Do not approve requested classification conversion and provide direction to maintain the current structure or an alternative position classification.

RECOMMENDATION:

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Monica Walker, Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Approving Publicly Available Pay Schedule Effective October 25, 2022, Pursuant to the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR)
BACKGROUND: Based on recent salary changes resulting from bargaining unit contracts approved by City Council, staff proposes to adopt a resolution approving the current salary schedule for public posting. Per CalPERS Circular Letter 200-00320 issued January 8, 2020 (Exhibit A), the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) require employees to be paid pursuant to a publicly available pay schedule that meets the requirements of CCR Section 570.5(a) to qualify as both compensation earnable and pensionable compensation that is reportable to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS).

While the City has historically met all requirements for publication of pay schedules, action to adopt a single unified pay schedule is required by the CalPERS Circular Letter. Adoption of the unified pay schedule does not affect the salary or compensation paid to any City employee, but merely restates pay rates that have already been approved by the City Council at public meetings.

DISCUSSION: At this time, changes to the salary schedule are needed to reflect recent salary changes for the San Bruno Management Employees Association (SBMEA), City Manager, and Assistant City Manager job classifications. City Council approved salary increases for the SBMEA bargaining unit and the City Manager job classification during the regular City Council meeting on October 11, 2022. In addition, during closed session on October 4, 2022, City Council approved salary increases to the Assistant City Manager classification in the amounts of 6% effective the first full pay period in January 2022, and 3% effective the first full pay period in January 2023.

There are eight (8) requirements that must be met by a publicly available pay schedule for it to be used to determine pay rates per the CalPERS Circular Letter:
1) Be duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws.
2) Identify the position title for every employee position. 3) Show the pay rate as a single amount or multiple amounts within a range for each identified

3 7
7 position.
4) Indicate the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi- weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually.
5) Be posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's website. 6) Indicate an effective date and date of any revisions. 7) Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years. 8) Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.

Historically, the City of San Bruno has consistently met all requirements for publicly available pay schedules. A compliant salary schedule is retained for at least five years, posted on the City’s website, and available for public inspection in the Human Resources Department.

The City’s governing body (City Council) has approved every tentative agreement or side letter containing salary increases that arise from negotiations with the City’s various bargaining units.

Subsequently, City Council grants approval of a “single document” salary schedule as required by CalPERS. Going forward, each time there is an action to delete or add a classification or change the salary range for any position on the salary schedule, the City will include the authorization to amend the unified salary schedule when the City Council approved the change to any salary range or classification.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact connected to this action to update and republish the publicly available Pay Schedule pursuant to the Public Employee’s Retirement Law, Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013, and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution Approving Publicly Available Pay Schedule Effective October 25, 2022, Pursuant to the Public Employee’s Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR).

ALTERNATIVES: Do not adopt a publicly available pay schedule pursuant to the Public Employees’ Retirement Law and risk potential penalties.

Circular Letter: 200-003-20
Distribution: IV, VI, X, XII, XVI
To: All CalPERS Contracted Agencies (Public Agency, Schools, and State) Subject: Statutory and Regulatory Requirements for Publicly Available Pay Schedules Purpose
The purpose of this Circular Letter is to inform all CalPERS Contracted Agencies of the requirements for providing CalPERS with a Publicly Available Pay Schedule in compliance with the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL), Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR).

Purpose of Publicly Available Pay Schedules
Under the PERL and PEPRA, compensation earnable and pensionable compensation are determined in accordance with amounts identified on publicly available pay schedules.

Compensation Earnable
Under Government (Gov.) Code sections 20636 and 20636.1, compensation earnable means the pay rate and special compensation of the member, as further defined by those statutes.

Pay rate for contracting agency and school members is deemed the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member paid in cash to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules. Pay rate for contracting agency and school members who are not in a group or class is deemed the monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member, paid in cash and pursuant to publicly available pay schedules, for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, subject to specified limitations.

174 of 243

Circular Letter: 200-003-20
January 8, 2020

Page 2 of 4 ends

Pay rate for state members is deemed the average monthly remuneration paid in cash out of funds paid by the employer to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment, in payment for the member’s services or for time during which the member is excused from work, as further specified by subdivision (g) of Gov. Code 20636, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules.

Pensionable Compensation
Pursuant to Gov. Code section 7522.34, pensionable compensation of a new member of any public retirement system means the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member paid in cash to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment for services rendered on a full-time basis during normal working hours, pursuant to publicly available pay schedules, subject to specified limitations.

Requirements of Publicly Available Pay Schedules
Subdivision (a) of CCR section 570.5 defines the requirements for a publicly available pay schedule used to determine pay rates.

Pay rates shall be limited to the amount listed on a pay schedule that must meet all the following eight (8) requirements:

1. Be duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws

2. Identify the position title for every employee position

3. Show the pay rate as a single amount or multiple amounts within a range for each identified position

4. Indicate the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually

5. Be posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's website

6. Indicate an effective date and date of any revisions

7. Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years

8. Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate Here is an example of a compliant pay schedule, to the extent it has been duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meeting laws, it is posted on the employer’s website, and it is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years:

Effective as of 07/01/2017
Special Compensation
Pursuant to CCR section 571 for classic members, and CCR section 571.1 for new members under PEPRA, special compensation items are defined under an exclusive list. Each special compensation item shall be reported separately from pay rate, in accordance with the criteria described in those regulations. Therefore, a publicly available pay schedule in which the special compensation items are reflected in the pay rates does not comply with CCR section 570.5.

Absence of Publicly Available Pay Schedule
If an employer fails to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) of CCR section 570.5, under subdivision (b), the board may determine in its sole discretion an amount that will be considered as pay rate, taking into consideration all information it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the following:
• Documents approved by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirements of public meeting laws and maintained by the employer
• Last pay rate listed on a pay schedule that conforms to the requirements of subdivision (a) with the same employer for the position at issue
• Last pay rate for the member that is listed on a pay schedule that conforms with the requirements of subdivision (a) with the same employer for a different position • Last pay rate for the member in a position that was held by the member and that is listed on a pay schedule that conforms to the requirements of subdivision (a) of a former CalPERS employer.

Importance of Publicly Available Pay Schedule
Publicly available pay schedules are required by CalPERS and are a critical component to verify all members’ pay rates when calculating members’ retirement benefits. Maintaining a compliant publicly available pay schedule will support transparency and expedite CalPERS’ review process.

Failure to provide CalPERS with a compliant publicly available pay schedule may result in a retirement benefit being delayed.

Questions
It is the employer’s responsibility to comply with all terms and conditions set forth in the employer’s contract with CalPERS and to ensure all reportable information is compliant with the PERL, PEPRA, and the CCR.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact the CalPERS Customer Contact Center at 888 CalPERS (or 888-225-7377), or email [email protected].

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Darcy Smith, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Hold Public Hearing to 1) Introduce, Read by Title Only, and Waive Further Reading of an Ordinance of the City of San Bruno Amending Article III (Zoning) of Title 12 (Land Use) of the Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 12.265 (Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee) and Amending Chapter 12.260 (Development Impact Fee); and 2) Adopt a Resolution of the City of San Bruno Setting the Rate of the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee
BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to hold a public hearing to introduce an Ordinance amending Article III (Zoning) of Title 12 (Land Use) of the Municipal Code by adding Chapter 12.265 (Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee) and amending Chapter 12.260 (Development Impact Fee). The Ordinance is provided as Attachment 1. A Resolution establishing the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fees is also presented for consideration. This resolution is provided as Attachment 2.

On September 28, 2021, the City Council adopted the Bayhill Specific Plan, which is a long- range planning document that establishes a regulatory framework for guiding private and public development within the Bayhill Specific Plan Planning Area over the next 20 years. At the same meeting, the City Council also approved YouTube’s Phase 1 Development, which includes the construction of two new office buildings totaling approximately 440,000 square feet. The Phase 1 development also includes the realignment of Grundy Lane, the abandonment of the northern portion of Elm Avenue located directly to the north of the realigned Grundy Lane, the construction of an off-street multi-modal transportation hub, the demolition of the Lake buildings (1150 – 1250 Bayhill Drive) to provide construction staging and a parking area during the construction of Phase 1, and the approval of a Development Agreement between the City and Google/YouTube.

The Bayhill Specific Plan Area comprises approximately 92.2 acres and is generally bounded by Interstate 280 to the west and 380 to the north, El Camino Real to the east (but exclusive of the properties fronting El Camion Real), and San Bruno Avenue West to the south from Interstate 280 to Elm Avenue. The Bayhill Specific Plan area is depicted in this map below.

0 The Bayhill Specific Plan Implementation Chapter describes the policies and actions that are required to ensure necessary public infrastructure, amenities, and services are provided and maintained as new development occurs in the Specific Plan Area over time. Bayhill Specific Plan Table 7-1 provides cost estimates for the primary infrastructure improvements necessary to support full development of the Specific Plan at build-out and their approximate time frame or phasing for implementation. Furthermore, Specific Plan Policy 7-1b calls for the establishment of an Area Development Impact Fee (ADIF) Program to fund the specific costs associated with infrastructure projects that are identified in Table 7-1.

After the Bayhill Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council in September 2021, and in order to implement Bayhill Specific Plan Policy 7-1b, the City contracted with Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), with technical support from Fehr & Peers, to prepare the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Nexus Study (“Nexus Study”). This Nexus Study is provided as Attachment 3. The Nexus Study is designed to provide the City with the necessary technical documentation in order to adopt a comprehensive Area Development Impact Fee (“ADIF”) program.

DISCUSSION:

Development Impact Fees
As discussed in the Nexus Study, development impact fees are one-time charges on new development projects collected and used by the City to cover the cost of capital facilities and infrastructure needed to serve new development. The Bayhill ADIF program would be applicable to future development in the Plan Area only and will not replace or exempt development from paying other City fees, including the current City-Wide Development Impact Fee.

Associated State Laws
Assembly Bill (AB) 1600: Impact Fees are regulated by (AB) 1600, the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000 et seq.). The purpose of the Nexus Study is to determine the maximum allowable fees that the City can charge for facilities and infrastructure consistent with the legal requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 (Government Code Section 66000 et seq.).

Fees collected under (AB) 1600 are to be collected for capital facility and infrastructure improvements only, used to fund facility needs created by new development rather than existing deficiencies, and the fees are to be based on a rational nexus between new development and the costs of the capital facilities and infrastructure needed to accommodate such development.

0 Assembly Bill (AB) 602: In September 2021, the State of California adopted (AB) 602, which created several new requirements related to development and implementation of impact fee programs. The new key provisions related to the calculations documented in the attached Nexus Study are summarized below:
- Capital Improvement Plan: (AB) 602 requires that jurisdictions adopt a capital improvement plan as part of the nexus study process. The Nexus Study relies on a Bayhill Area DIF Capital Improvement Plan to be approved by the City Council in conjunction with the Bayhill Area DIF Program. The Bayhill Area DIF Capital Improvement Plan presented in the Nexus Study is derived from the infrastructure projects/capital improvements identified in the Bayhill Specific Plan Table 7-1.
- Explanation of Level of Service and Fee Increase: (AB) 602 requires that the Nexus Study make certain findings if the fee calculation is based on a change in existing levels of service, or if it is proposing an increase in an existing fee. Since the Bayhill Area DIF will be new to the City and only apply to a Bayhill Specific Plan area, existing citywide service standards are not used directly in the fee calculation and no existing fee is being increased. As such, the attached Nexus Study is based on service standards that have been developed for, and are unique to, the Bayhill Specific Plan Area, as documented in the Bayhill Specific Plan and referenced as appropriate in the Nexus Study.
- Residential Fee to be Charged in Proportion to Unit Size: (AB) 602 requires that a Nexus Study adopted on or after July 1, 2022, must calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage or proposed unit of the development. Further discussion regarding this matter can be found on the following page.

Bayhill Specific Plan Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan included in the Nexus Study is derived from Table 7-1 in the Bayhill Specific Plan with some minor modifications. The Specific Plan identified these improvements as necessary to accommodate the level of service standards embodied therein or in the City’s General Plan as well as address mitigations identified through the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The list of improvements included in the Nexus Study reflect those included in the Specific Plan; however, the costs have been updated to reflect updated information provided by the Public Works Department and in consultation with transportation engineers from Fehr & Peers.

Consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act, the Area DIF calculation excludes the cost of infrastructure improvements that are necessary to address existing deficiencies and/or serve other areas of the city. Thus, this analysis does not include costs that are needed to address existing deficiencies or maintenance projects—only upgrades to expand system capacity. Estimated total infrastructure hard and soft costs total $45.6 million, in February 2022 dollars. Approximately 29 percent ($13,010,000) of the $45.6 million listed in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP have been allocated to new development in the Plan Area. In other words, 71 percent of the costs have been allocated to address either existing infrastructure needs and/or development elsewhere in the city. The updated Capital Improvement Plan can be found on the following page and is also included on Page 12 of the Nexus Study.

The transportation project is listed in the City's Walk 'n Bike Plan (2016). The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth and existing City users, with greater benefit being provided to the Bayhill Office Park due to the proximity of the improvements (25% of Estimated Project Cost). Create a bicycle boulevard on repaved Euclid Avenue with bicycle ramps and crossing to future Huntington cycle track; add wayfinding signage, pedestrian-scale lighting, and landscaping along San Bruno Avenue between El Camino and Caltrain station; add high-visibility crosswalks, crosswalk signage, and bulbouts along San Bruno Avenue at all intersections currently missing these treatments.The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth and existing City users (25.5% of the Estimated Project Cost). The Bayhill Area Plan contribution to the larger water tank has been adjusted down (22.1%) to account for the fair share payment of the smaller water tank in the Citywide Development Impact Fee.The developers are not required to contribute to the stormwater project because the improvement addresses an existing deficiency in the storm drainage system. A 30 feet wide easement shall be provided along the alignment of the storm drain pipeline if the existing or realigned storm drain pipe remains at 72-inches. The easement width may be reduced to 20 feet along the alignment if the developer constructs a single larger conveyance pipe at the City determined required capacity.

Transportation project cost allocations are based on trip generation numbers. Unless footnoted otherwise, the transportation project is necessitated as a result of the growth from the Specific Plan adoption and/or serves and benefits the Specific Plan area. The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth (44% of Estimated Project Cost). Cost allocation based on growth in vehicle trips at intersection divided by total intersection trips at build-out.

Cost Item1 Estimated Project CostPlan Area ShareTimeframe / Phasing Excludes improvements, including within the public right-of-way, paid for by the developer as part of their project, conditions of approval, or required on-site facilities.

0 Maximum Allowable and Recommended Area Development Impact Fees The following table provides the maximum allowable Bayhill ADIF supported by the nexus findings and analysis of the estimated costs of required capital infrastructure and facilities contained in the Nexus Study. The maximum allowable fee is the staff recommended fee, as shown in the Resolution. As currently calculated, the fee would be applied to all new office, retail, hotel, multifamily residential projects, and accessory dwelling units over 750 square feet in area within the Plan Area. The Specific Plan does not allow for single-family home development, so there is no fee for that land use. As previously noted, the Bayhill ADIF Program will be independent and in addition to all other City development impact fees that may also be applicable to the Plan Area, including the City-Wide Development Impact Fee. This is because the Bayhill Area DIF Program does not include the costs of any infrastructure projects that are included in the other development impact fee programs.

As noted within the Table above, the calculated maximum allowable Bayhill Area DIF for nonresidential development is $6.17 per office square foot, $32.46 per retail square foot, and $5,739 per hotel room. For multifamily residential developments, units less than 407 square feet are charged $3,524 per unit, units between 407 square feet and 2,034 square feet are charged $8.66 per square foot, and units greater than 2,034 square feet will be charged $17,618 per unit. If implemented at the maximum levels shown above, the proposed impact fee program would generate revenue to cover nearly 29%, or approximately $13 Million, of the total capital facilities identified in the fee program. All fees are expressed in February 2022 dollars. The ordinance includes a provision to index these amounts annually based on the California Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineer News Record (or any successor to such index) to account for inflation.

Ordinance Summary
A summary of the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Ordinance is provided below.

Fees Imposed: The Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee is imposed upon each development project in the Bayhill Specific Plan Area as a condition of development. The fee is imposed on the following development projects:

Land Use Category Fee Amount/ Unit1
Office $6.17per sq.ft.Retail $32.46per sq.ft.Hotel $5,739per hotel roomMulti-Family ResidentialUnits equal to or less than 407 sq.ft. $3,524per unitUnits between 407-2,034 sq.ft. $8.66per sq.ft.Units equal to or greater than 2,034 sq.ft. $17,618per unit[1] Fee includes a 5% administrative charge to cover cost of implementing and administerting the Bayhill Area DIF Program.

0 - Non-Residential Development Projects;
- Multi-family and ADU Residential Development Projects; and, - Mixed Residential and Non-Residential Development Projects.

Fees Due at Building Permit Issuance: Developers are required to pay the Bayhill Area Development Impact Fees prior to the issuance of the building permit. The fee for a development project will be calculated at the rates in effect as of the date the fee is paid. The City will not issue a building permit for a development project unless the fee has been paid. For purposes of this Ordinance, a Building Permit is defined as, “A full structural building permit as well as partial permit such as foundation-only permits.”

Credit for Redevelopment: When a development project involves the demolition of an existing structure and its replacement with a new structure, the developer is entitled to credits against the fees. In order to qualify for a credit, the developer must demonstrate that the building was either occupied by a resident (for a residential building) or a business (for a non-residential building) during six of the twelve months prior to the date of a complete and adequate building permit application. The credit will be calculated for the fee that would be charged for the development of the structure to be demolished, calculated at the rate in effect on the date the fee is paid.

Annual Reporting: The City will comply with the public reporting requirements in Sections 660010 and 66006 of the California Government Code.

Appeals: The developer may submit an appeal to the City Manager if they believe the Area Development Impact Fees have been calculated incorrectly by the City or that the fee is not reasonably related to the impact of the developer’s project on the Bayhill Specific Plan Area facilities. The City Manager will have 30 days to respond to the appeal after it has been filed, either by determining that the original calculated amount was correct, or by determining that a revised amount should be due. If the City Manager determines that the correct fee is less than the amount already paid to the City, the City will refund to the Developer the amount of the overpayment. If the City Manager determines that the correct fee is greater than the amount already paid to the City, the developer will pay to the City the amount of the underpayment.

Annual Inflation Adjustment: Each July 1, beginning July 1, 2023, the rate of the Fee will be automatically adjusted to reflect the change in the California Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineer News Record (or any successor to such index).

This is the standard index used for this purpose.

Development Impact Fee Administration: Once adopted, fees will start to be collected for new development projects within the Bayhill Specific Plan area. Fees will be deposited into a specific and separate account and tracked separately from other City revenues. The fees will be expended by the City to fund improvements to public infrastructure necessary to accommodate growth consistent with the Bayhill Specific Plan and level of service requirements.

Modifications to Chapter 12,260 (Development Impact Fees) The Ordinance also proposes specific amendments to Chapter 12.260 (Development Impact Fees) of the San Bruno Municipal Code. The proposed amendments, which are outlined below will ensure that Chapter 12.265 and Chapter 12.260 are consistent with one another.

0 Fees Imposed: Chapter 12.260.030 of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be amended to clarify that City-Wide Development Impact fees are imposed on the following development projects:
- Non-Residential Development Projects;
- Multi-family, Single-family, and ADU Residential Development Projects; and, - Mixed Residential and Non-Residential Development Projects.

Fees dues at Building Permit Issuance: Chapter 12.260.050(B) of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be amended by requiring the fees for a development project to be calculated at the rates in effect as of the date the fees are paid. Currently, Chapter 12.260.050(B) specifies that fees will be calculated at the rates in effect as of the date the developer submits a complete and adequate application for a building permit. Basing the fee calculation on the date the fees are paid is consistent with the methodology used to calculated other fees in the City’s Master Fee Schedule.

Credit for Redevelopment: Chapter 12.260.060 of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be amended to specify that each credit will be equal to the fee that would be charged for the development of the structure to be demolished, calculated at the rate in effect on the date the fees are paid. Currently, Chapter 12.260.060 specifies that each credit will be equal to the fee that would be charged for the development of the structure to be demolished, calculated at the rate in effect on the date the developer submits a complete and adequate application for the associated building permit.

Annual Report: Chapter 12.260.090 of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be amended to specify that the City will comply with the public reporting requirements in Section 66001 and 66006 of the California Government Code.

Annual Inflation Adjustment: Chapter 12.260.120 of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be amended to specify that each July 1, the rate of the Fee will be automatically adjusted to reflect the change in the California Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineer News Record (or any successor to such index).

Bayhill Specific Plan ADIF Program: Chapter 12.260.130 of the San Bruno Municipal Code will be added to inform developers that the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program applies separately from and in addition to the City-wide Development Impact Fees.

Development Projects Currently Approved by the City Subject to the Bayhill ADIF At the time the Bayhill ADIF Ordinance and Resolution is presented to the City Council for adoption, there is only one “pipeline” development project that has received planning approvals in the City. No other development projects have planning applications that under review by the City at this time. The pipeline project is the YouTube Phase 1 Development, which has received building permits and is currently under construction. Pursuant to the terms of the approved Development Agreement between the City and Google/YouTube, the developer is required to pre-pay the Bayhill ADIF amount at the anticipated highest fee of $7.00 per square foot. The developer shall be entitled to credit against future payments if the adopted Bayhill ADIF per square foot rate is lower.

0 NEXT STEPS
If the City Council approves the introduction of the Ordinance, the second reading be scheduled as a consent calendar item at the next regular City Council meeting. The ordinance would go into effect 30 days after the second reading. If the City Council adopts the attached Resolution, the fees would go into effect 60 days after adoption of this Resolution, but only if the attached Ordinance is adopted and effective on, or prior to, that date.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact from the introduction of the ordinance. If adopted, the Ordinance will allow City staff to begin assessing and collecting fees on development projects located within the Bayhill Specific Plan area. Per the Nexus Study, the fees collected to support the 17 Capital Improvement Projects in the Bayhill Specific Plan area are projected to generate approximately $13 Million of Area Development Impact Fee revenue. This represents approximately 29 percent of the total revenue required in order to implement all capital facilities listed in the nexus study. Because impact fees can only be collected to fund a portion of any particular capital improvement, they will not fully pay for all facility and infrastructure improvements. The City must therefore continue to seek other financing mechanisms, such as Federal, State, and Regional fund/grant opportunities, or allocation of General Fund revenues to fully fund these capital improvements.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Adoption of this ordinance is found to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because the adoption of this Ordinance is not a project, in that it is a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4)), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the fees may have a significant effect on the environment, in that this ordinance contains no provisions modifying the physical design, development, or construction of residences or nonresidential structures CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)). The authorization for and adoption of the fee is also not a project because a project does not include the creation of a governmental funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project (CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4).

RECOMMENDATION:

Hold Public Hearing to 1) Introduce, Read by Title Only, and Waive Further Reading of an Ordinance of the City of San Bruno Amending Article III (Zoning) of Title 12 (Land Use) of the Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 12.265 (Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee) and Amending Chapter 12.260 (Development Impact Fee); and 2) Adopt a Resolution of the City of San Bruno Setting the Rate of the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Decline to introduce the Ordinance and Resolution; or

2. Provide additional direction to staff regarding the provisions of the Ordinance and Resolution.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO ADDING CHAPTER 12.265 (BAYHILL SPECIFIC PLAN AREA DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE) AND AMENDING CHAPTER 12.260 TO TITLE 12 (LAND USE) ARTICLE III (ZONING) OF THE

CITY OF SAN BRUNO MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 1. City Council makes the following findings:

A.The Mitigation Fee Act contained in Government Code 66000 et seq., permits the City to impose development impact fees on new development for the purposes of funding the public facilities necessary to serve that new development.

B.The Bayhill Specific Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2021 and provides a land use and regulatory framework for redevelopment of the Bayhill Office Center and adjacent Bayhill Shopping Center for higher-intensity development.

C.The Bayhill Specific Plan identified improvements necessary to serve new development at the level of service standards embodied in the Specific Plan or in the City’s General Plan as well as to address mitigations identified in the Bayhill Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report.

D.New development in the Bayhill Specific Plan Area will increase the demand for public facilities to serve that Area.

E.A Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program can help to ensure that developers pay a “fair share” of the capital costs associated with the public facilities that are necessitated by or serve development projects in that Area.

F.The Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program will not fund costs attributable to existing deficiencies in public facilities, but can include the costs attributable to the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to a development project in order to (1) refurbish existing facilities to maintain the existing level of service or (2) achieve an adopted level of service that is consistent with the General Plan.

G.The Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program will be independent and in addition to all other City, County, other agency, or regional development impact fees that may also be applicable to the Specific Plan Area.

H.The City Council finds that the impact fees and charges imposed by this Ordinance are necessary and reasonable to implement the goals and objectives of the City’s General Plan and the Bayhill Specific Plan and are permitted by California state law.

I.On October 25, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the City’s proposed new development fee at which time all interested persons were given an opportunity to comment.

SECTION 2. Chapter 12.265 (Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee) is hereby added to Title 12 (Land Use) Article III (Zoning) of the San Bruno Municipal Code, to read as follows:

12.265.030 Fee Imposed
A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee is hereby imposed upon the Developer of each Development Project in the Bayhill Specific Plan Area as a condition of development. The boundaries of the Bayhill Specific Plan Area are set forth and depicted in Figure 1-2 of the Bayhill Specific Plan.

B. The Fee is imposed on the following Development Projects:

1.Non-Residential Development Projects.
a. New construction of gross square feet of space for non-residential uses.
b. Construction that includes the conversion of existing non-residential building space from one land use category to a different land use category that would change from a fee category with a lower fee to a fee category with a higher fee. There is no fee if the change in use is from a higher to a lower fee Category. No credit is given if there is a negative impact fee amount.
c. Construction that adds additional square footage with the expansion or interior alteration of an existing non-residential structure.

For Development Projects that include multiple non-residential land use types, the fees are calculated for each specific land use based on the floor plans submitted for the building permit. The use type is determined by the primary use, not uses that are accessory to the primary use.

2.Residential Development Projects
a. New construction of one or more residential dwelling units. b. Construction that includes the conversion of existing non-residential building space to one or more residential dwelling units. c. Construction that adds one or more residential dwelling units with the expansion or interior alteration of an existing residential structure.

3.Mixed Residential and Non-Residential Development Projects. a. New construction of one or more residential dwelling units, or gross square feet of space for non-residential uses.

For Development Projects that include multiple land use types, the fees are calculated for each specific land use based on the floor plans submitted for the building permit.

Accessory Dwelling Units are subject to applicable Development Impact Fees as specified in Chapter 12.90.080(D).

12.265.040 Rate
The rate of the Fee shall be set by the City Council by ordinance or resolution. At the time it sets a rate, the City Council shall make each of the findings required by Section 66001(a) of the California Government Code.

12.265.050 Payment
A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the Fee required by this chapter shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for the Development Project. The City shall not issue a building permit for a Development Project unless the Fee has been paid.

B. Except as otherwise required by law, the Fee for a Development Project shall be calculated at the rates in effect as of the date the Fee is paid. A developer may pay all or a portion of the Fee owed at any time prior to issuance of the building permit, at the rate in effect at the time payment is made. For phased projects, the amount due shall be paid on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of the square footage, or housing units, of the phase being constructed to the entire square footage, or housing units, of the approved development, and each portion shall be paid prior to the issuance of any building permit for each phase.

C. If applicable state law does not permit the City to require payment of the Fee for a Development Project on the schedule set forth in Subdivision A of this section, then the Fee for that Development Project shall be paid on a lump sum basis for the entire Development Project at the earliest date that the City is permitted to require such payment under state law. If payment is to be made pursuant to this subdivision, the City shall not issue a building permit to the Developer until (i) the Developer and the City enter into a contract for delayed payment as authorized by Section 66007(c) of the California Government Code; (ii) such contract is recorded in the manner set forth in that Section; and (iii) unless the Developer is specifically exempt from such requirement under state law, the Developer posts a performance bond or a letter of credit from a federally insured, recognized depository institution to guarantee payment of the Fee.

12.265.060 Credit For Existing Development
Where the Development Project involves the demolition of an existing structure and its replacement with a new structure the Developer shall be entitled to credits against the Fee required by this chapter. A credit shall not be applied for any building or part of a building unless the Developer can establish, to the satisfaction of the City, that the building or part of building was either occupied by a resident (for a residential building) or occupied by a business that conducted actual business activities (for a non-residential building) during six of the twelve months prior to the date on which a complete and adequate building permit application for the Development is submitted. The credit shall be equal to the Fee that would be charged for the development of the structure to be demolished, calculated at the rate in effect on the date the Fee is paid. In no event shall the amount of the credit reduce the Fee for the Development Project below $0, and a credit may not be transferred to any other Development Project or used for any purpose other than offsetting Fee imposed pursuant to this chapter.

12.265.070 Improvement Agreement
A. The City may, but is not required to, enter into an Improvement Agreement with a Developer pursuant to which the Developer will construct, pursuant to City standards and requirements, one or more public improvements that would otherwise be eligible for funding with the proceeds of the Fee.

B. The credit amount shall be the engineering and construction costs that would be reasonably incurred by the City in building the public facility, and shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Improvement Agreement.

189 of 243

C. The credit will be available to the Developer only upon completion of the public improvement to the satisfaction of the City.

D. The Improvement Agreement must be approved by the City Council and may include any additional terms as the City Council finds to be necessary or useful.

12.265.080 Special Fund
A. A Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Fund shall be created.

B. When the City receives payment of the Fee pursuant to this chapter, that payment shall be deposited in the fund established pursuant to this Section in a manner that avoids any commingling of the Fee with other revenues and funds of the City, except for temporary investments.

C. Any interest income earned by moneys in the fund established pursuant to this Section shall also be deposited in that fund.

D. Moneys in the Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the City to fund improvements to public infrastructure necessary to accommodate growth consistent with the Bayhill Specific Plan and level of service requirements described therein.

12.265.090 Annual Reporting
For each separate account or the fund established pursuant to Section 12.265.080, the city shall comply with the public reporting requirements in Sections 66001 and 66006 of the California Government Code.

12.265.100 Appeals
A. If a Developer believes that the City incorrectly calculated the Fee applied to such Developer’s Project or that the Fee is not reasonably related to the impact of the Developer’s Project on the Bayhill Specific Plan Area facilities, the Developer may apply to the City Manager for an adjustment to the Fee.

B. Any such appeal must be made in writing, and must include a proposed revised Fee amount and an explanation of why the proposed revision constitutes a correct application of the terms of this Chapter and of any resolutions or other actions of the City Council that set the rate of the Fee or that otherwise affect the Fee.

C. The written appeal must be filed no later than the later of (i) ten days after the date on which the Fee becomes due or (ii) ten days after the date on which the Fee is paid. An appeal may be filed prior to payment of the Fee; however, full payment of the Fee, as calculated by the City shall remain a precondition to building permit issuance or the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or the conduct of a final inspection (as applicable) unless and until the City Manager makes a determination that revises the amount of the Fee.

D. The City Manager shall have thirty days to respond to the appeal after it has been filed, either by determining that the original calculated amount was correct, or by determining that a revised amount should be due. The determination of the City Manager is the

190 of 243

1 0
3 0
final determination of the City. If the City Manager does not respond to the appeal within the thirty day period, the appeal shall be deemed finally rejected.

E. If the City Manager determines that the correct Fee is less than the amount already paid to the City, the City will refund to the Developer the amount of the overpayment. If the City Manager determines that the correct Fee is greater than the amount already paid to the City, the Developer shall pay to the City the amount of the underpayment.

F. This Section does not excuse the Developer from compliance with Chapter 9 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code (beginning with Section 66020) with respect to any matter subject to that chapter of the Government Code.

12.265.100 Inflation Adjustment
Each July 1, beginning July 1, 2023, the rate of the Fee shall be automatically adjusted to reflect the change in the California Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineer News Record (or any successor to such index) during the twelve months prior to the February proceeding that July 1. However, the City Council may, by resolution, prevent any such adjustment from taking effect.

SECTION 3. San Bruno Municipal Code Chapter 12.260 (Development Impact Fees) is amended as shown in underline for additions and strikethrough for deletions, as follows:

12.260.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to impose fees upon development projects that fully or partially offset the costs of public facilities that are needed to serve demand created by that development project. The amount of fees will not include the costs attributable to demand generated by existing development.

12.260.030 Fees imposed.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the following fees are hereby imposed upon the developer of each development project in the city as a condition of development:

Community Facilities Impact Fee;
Public Safety Facilities Impact Fee;
General Government Facilities Impact Fee;
Utilities Facilities Impact Fee;
Transportation Facilities Impact Fee.

B. The fee is imposed on the following Development Projects:

4.Non-Residential Development Projects.
a. New construction of gross square feet of space for non-residential uses.
b. Construction that includes the conversion of existing non-residential building space from one land use category to a different land use category that would change from a fee category with a lower fee to a fee category with a higher fee. There is no fee if the change in use is from a higher to a lower fee Category. No credit is given if there is a negative impact fee amount.
c. Construction that adds additional square footage added with the expansion or interior alteration of an existing non-residential structure.

For Development Projects that include multiple non-residential land use types, the fees are calculated for each specific land use based on the floor plans submitted for the building permit. The use type is determined by the primary use, not uses that are accessory to the primary use.

5.Residential Development Projects
a. New construction of one or more residential dwelling units. b. Construction that includes the conversion of existing non-residential building space to one or more residential dwelling units. c. Construction that adds one or more residential dwelling units with the expansion or interior alteration of an existing residential structure.

6.Mixed Residential and Non-Residential Development Projects. a. New construction of one or more residential dwelling units, or gross square feet of space for non-residential uses.

For Development Projects that include multiple land use types, the fees are calculated for each specific land use based on the floor plans submitted for the building permit.

Accessory Dwelling Units are subject to applicable Development Impact Fees as specified in Chapter 12.90.080(D).

12.260.040 Rate.

The rate of each fee shall be set by the city council by ordinance or resolution. At the time it sets a rate, the city council shall make each of the findings required by Section 66001(a) of the California Government Code.

12.260.050 Payment.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the fees required by this article shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for the development project. The city shall not issue a building permit for a development project unless the fees have been paid.

B. The fees for a development project shall be calculated at the rates in effect as of the date the fees are paiddeveloper submits a complete and adequate application for a building permit for the development project. A developer may pay all or a portion of the fee owed at any time prior to issuance of the building permit, at the rate in effect at the time payment is made.

For phased projects, the amount due shall be paid on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of the square footage, or housing units, of the phase being constructed to the entire square footage, or housing units, of the approved development, and each portion shall be paid prior to the issuance of any building permit for each phase.

C. If applicable state law does not permit the city to require payment of the fees for a development project on the schedule set forth in subsection A of this section, then the fees for that development project shall be paid on a lump sum basis for the entire development project at the earliest date that the city is permitted to require such payment under state law. If payment is to be made pursuant to this section, the city shall not issue a building permit to the developer until: (1) the developer and the city enter into a contract for delayed payment as authorized by Section 66007(c) of the California Government Code; (2) such contract is recorded in the manner set forth in that section; and (3) unless the developer is specifically exempt from such requirement under state law, the developer posts a performance bond or a letter of credit from a federally insured, recognized depository institution to guarantee payment of the fees.

12.260.060 Credit for redevelopment.

Where the development project involves the demolition of an existing structure and its replacement with a new structure, the developer shall be entitled to credits against the fees required by this chapter. A credit shall not be applied for any building or part of a building unless the developer can establish, to the satisfaction of the city, that the building or part of building was either occupied by a resident (for a residential building) or occupied by a business that conducted actual business activities (for a non-residential building) during six of the twelve months prior to the date on which a complete and adequate building permit application for the development is submitted. A credit shall be calculated separately for each of the five fees imposed pursuant to Section 12.260.030 of this chapter. Each credit shall be equal to the fee that would be charged for the development of the structure to be demolished, calculated at the

193 of 243

1 0
3 0
rate in effect on the date the fees are paid developer submits a complete and adequate application for his or her building permit. In no event shall the amount of the credit reduce any fee for the development project below zero dollars, and a credit may not be transferred to any other development project in the city, applied to any of the five fees other than the fee for which it was calculated or used for any purpose other than offsetting fees imposed pursuant to this chapter. For example, a credit calculated based on the rate for the Community Facilities Impact Fee may not be applied to any fee other than the Community Facilities Impact Fee.

12.260.070 Improvement agreement.

A. The city may, but is not required to, enter into an improvement agreement with a developer pursuant to which the developer will construct, pursuant to city standards and requirements, one or more public improvements that would otherwise be eligible for funding with the proceeds of a fee.

B. The credit amount shall be the engineering and construction costs that would be reasonably incurred by the city in building the public facility, and shall not exceed the amount set forth in the improvement agreement.

C. The credit will be available to the developer only upon completion of the public improvement to the satisfaction of the city.

D. The credit shall be applied first to the fee that would otherwise be eligible to fund the public improvement. For example, a credit awarded for construction of a transportation facility shall be applied first against the Transportation Facilities Impact Fee for the development project. If the amount of the credit exceeds the amount of the associated fee, the credit may be applied to other fees due against the development project pursuant to this chapter. When a credit is applied against some other fee, an amount equal to the credit shall be transferred by the city from the fund established pursuant to Section 12.260.080 of this chapter for the associated fee to the fund established pursuant to Section 12.260.080 for the fee to which the credit is applied. For example, if a fifty thousand dollar credit for a transportation facility is applied to a Public Safety Facilities Impact Fee, then fifty thousand dollars shall be transferred from the city’s Transportation Facilities Impact Fee Fund to the city’s Public Safety Facilities Impact Fee Fund.

E. The improvement agreement must be approved by the city council and may include any additional terms as the city council finds to be necessary or useful. (Ord. 1869 § 3, 2019)

12.260.080 Special funds.

A. The following accounts or funds shall be established:

Community Facilities Impact Fee Fund;
Public Safety Facilities Impact Fee Fund;
General Government Facilities Impact Fee Fund;

Utilities Facilities Impact Fee Fund;
Transportation Facilities Impact Fee Fund.

B. When the city receives payment of a fee pursuant to this chapter, that payment shall be deposited in the appropriate account or fund established pursuant to this section in a manner that avoids any commingling of the fees with other revenues and funds of the city, except for temporary investments.

C. Any interest income earned by moneys in an account or fund established pursuant to this section shall also be deposited in that account or fund.

D. Moneys in the Community Facilities Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the city only for parkland acquisition and library, park and recreation improvements.

E. Moneys in the Public Safety Facilities Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the city only for police and fire capital facilities and equipment.

F. Moneys in the General Government Facilities Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the city only for community facilities and equipment necessary to maintain general government functions.

G. Moneys in the Utilities Facilities Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the city only for water, sewer, storm drainage, and telecommunications infrastructure and equipment.

H. Moneys in the Transportation Facilities Impact Fee Fund shall be expended by the city only for transportation infrastructure.

12.260.090 Annual Report
For each separate account or fund established pursuant to Section 12.260.080 of this chapter, the city shall comply with the public reporting requirements in Sections 66001 and 66006 of the California Government Code.

A. For each separate account or fund established pursuant to Section 12.260.080 of this chapter, the city shall, within one hundred eighty days after the last day of each fiscal year, make available to the public the information required by Section 66006(b)(1) of the California Government Code. The information may be included in the city’s Consolidated Annual Financial Report or any other report prepared by the city, and need not be isolated in a separate document.

B. The city council shall review the information made available to the public pursuant to subsection A of this section at the next regularly scheduled public meeting not less than fifteen days after this information is made available to the public.

C. Notice of the time and place of the meeting where the city council will review the information, including the address where the information may be reviewed, shall be mailed, at least fifteen days prior to the meeting, to any interested party who files a written request with the city clerk for mailed notice of the meeting. Any written request for mailed notices shall be valid

for one year from the date on which it is filed unless a renewal request is filed. Renewal requests for mailed notices shall be filed on or before April 1 of each year.

D. For the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the accounts or funds established pursuant to Section 12.260.080 of this chapter, and every five years thereafter, the city council shall, in connection with its review conducted pursuant to subsection C of this section, make each of the findings required by Section 66001(d) of the California Government Code. (Ord. 1869 § 3, 2019)

12.260.100 Appeals.

A. If a developer believes that one or more of the fees applied to his or her project have been calculated incorrectly by the city, he or she may apply to the city manager for an adjustment to those fees.

B. Any such appeal must be made in writing, and must include a proposed revised fee amount and an explanation of why the proposed revision constitutes a correct application of the terms of this chapter and of any resolutions or other actions of the city council that set the rate of the fees or that otherwise affect the fees.

C. The written appeal must be filed no later than the later of: (1) ten days after the date on which the fee becomes due; or (2) ten days after the date on which the fee is paid. An appeal may be filed prior to payment of a fee; however, full payment of the fee, as calculated by the city shall remain a precondition to issuance of a certificate of occupancy or the conduct of a final inspection (as applicable) unless and until the city manager makes a determination that revises the amount of the fees.

D. The city manager shall have thirty days to respond to the appeal after it had been filed, either by determining that the original calculated amount was correct, or by determining that a revised amount should be due. The determination of the city manager is the final determination of the city. If the city manager does not respond to the appeal within the thirty day period, the appeal shall be deemed finally rejected.

E. If the city manager determines that the correct fee is less than the amount already paid to the city, the city will refund to the developer the amount of the overpayment. If the city manager determines that the correct fee is greater than the amount already paid to the city, the developer shall pay to the city the amount of the underpayment.

F. The appeals process set forth in this section applies solely to the case where the developer believes that the city has incorrectly applied the fees according to the city’s ordinances, resolutions, city council actions, and regulations. It does not apply to any claim that any such approved ordinances, resolutions, actions or regulations exceed the authority of the city or violate state or federal law. This section does not excuse the developer from compliance with Chapter 9 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the California Government Code (beginning with Section 66020) with respect to any matter subject to that chapter of the Government Code.

12.260.110 Regulations.

The city manager may promulgate such interpretive regulations for the application of this chapter as he or she finds necessary or useful.

12.260.120 Inflation adjustment.

Each July 1, beginning July 1, 2020, each rate automatically adjusted to reflect the change in the California Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineer News Record (or any successor to such index) during the twelve months prior to the February proceeding that July 1. However, the City Council may, by resolution, prevent any such adjustment from taking effect. However, any such adjustment shall take effect only if approved by the city council, by resolution, and shall take effect no earlier than sixty days following such approval.

12.260.130 Bayhill specific plan area development impact fee program.

The Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program applies separately from and in addition to the Fees set forth in this Chapter. The Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee Program is set forth in Chapter 12.265 of Title 12 (Land Use) and applies to all Development Projects within the Bayhill Specific Plan Area.

SECTION 4. Adoption of this ordinance is found to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act because the adoption of this Ordinance is not a project, in that it is a government funding mechanism which does not involve any commitment to any specific project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4)), and because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the fees may have a significant effect on the environment, in that this ordinance contains no provisions modifying the physical design, development, or construction of residences or nonresidential structures CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)). The authorization for and adoption of the fee is also not a project because a project does not include the creation of a governmental funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project (CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4); the proposed ordinance commits no fees to any specific project.

SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of the ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it should have adopted the ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 7. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to take other actions on behalf of City, which are not expressly and specifically reserved for the City Council, to implement and effectuate this ordinance. The City Clerk is directed to codify this ordinance in a manner which best reflects the legislative intent of the City Council in enacting this ordinance.

The City Clerk is directed to resolve any numbering conflicts accordingly.

SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall publish this ordinance in accordance with applicable law.

Nexus Report: Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 1

1. Introduction and Fee Overview
Introduction
This Nexus Report provides analysis and technical documentation to support adoption of a development impact fee program (“DIF Program”) for the Bayhill Specific Plan Area (“Plan Area”) in the City of San Bruno (“City”). Development impact fees are one-time charges on new development collected and used by the City to cover the cost of capital facilities and improvements required to serve real estate development. The Bayhill Specific Plan Area DIF Program (“Bayhill Area DIF”) would be applicable to future development in the Plan Area only and will not replace or exempt development from paying other City fees.

This Nexus Report has been prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (“EPS”) with support from transportation consultants Fehr & Peers and input from City staff. It provides a legal basis for requiring payment of a Bayhill Area DIF consistent with Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600/ Government Code Section 66000 et seq.) and subsequent related legislation. The DIF Program can be adopted by City Council with an enabling City Ordinance and with fee amounts to be set by Resolution. This analysis calculates a maximum justifiable fee program and the City may elect to charge less than the fee amounts cited within this Report. If adopted, the Program will be effective 60 days following the City Council’s final action on the ordinance authorizing collection of the fee.

Adopted by the San Bruno City Council in 2021, the Bayhill Specific Plan provides a land use and regulatory framework for redevelopment of Bayhill Office Center and adjacent Bayhill Shopping Center for higher-intensity development. This Bayhill Area DIF is based on the land use program and level of service standards and requirements described in the Bayhill Specific Plan (and supporting environmental documents) as well as current estimates of the infrastructure and improvement costs needed to accommodate these land uses and standards.

Legal Context
This Nexus Report is designed to provide the necessary technical analysis to support the Bayhill Area DIF to be established by a City Ordinance and for the amounts to be set by Resolution. The Mitigation Fee Act allows the City to adopt, by resolution, the Bayhill Area DIF consistent with the supporting technical analysis and findings provided in this Nexus Report. The Resolution approach to setting the fee allows periodic adjustments of the fee amount that may be necessary over time, without amending the enabling ordinance.

Impact fee revenues are used to cover the cost of constructing capital and infrastructure improvements required to serve new development and growth in the area in which they apply.

As such, impact fees must be based on a reasonable nexus, or connection, between new development and the need for specific capital facilities and improvements. Impact fee revenue cannot be used to cover operation and maintenance costs of these or any other facilities and infrastructure. In addition, impact fee revenue cannot be collected or used to cover the cost of preexisting infrastructure needs or deficiencies.

Nexus Report: Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 2
In establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition for approval of a development project, Government Code sections 66001(a) and (b) require a local agency to:

1. Identify the purpose of the fee.

2. Identify how the fee is to be used, including identification of public facilities to be financed.

3. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee use and the type of development project on which the fee is being imposed.

4. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

5. Show there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility.

In September 2021, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 602, which includes new Government Code section 66016.5 and created several new requirements related to development and implementation of impact fee programs. The new key provisions related to the calculations documented in this Nexus Report are summarized below. • Capital Improvement Plan: (AB) 602 requires that jurisdictions adopt a capital improvement plan as part of the nexus report process. This adoption can occur at the same time as the fee ordinance adoption through a resolution. Accordingly, this Nexus Report relies on a Bayhill Area DIF Capital Improvement Plan (“Bayhill Area DIF CIP”) to be approved by the City Council in conjunction with the Bayhill Area DIF Program. The Bayhill Area DIF CIP presented in this Nexus Report is derived from the capital improvements identified in the Bayhill Specific Plan.
• Explanation of Level of Service and Fee Increase: (AB) 602 requires that the nexus report make certain findings if the fee calculation is based on a change in existing levels of service, or if it is proposing an increase in an existing fee. Since the Bayhill Area DIF will be new to the City and only apply to a defined area, existing citywide service standards are not used directly in the fee calculation and no existing fee is being increased. As such, this Nexus Report is based on service standards that have been developed for, and are unique to, the Plan Area, as documented in the Bayhill Specific Plan and referenced as appropriate in this document.
• Residential Fee to be Charged in Proportion to Unit Size: (AB) 602 requires that a nexus report adopted on or after July 1, 2022 must “calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development.” However, a jurisdiction does not need to charge residential fees by square footage if it makes all the following findings:
‒ An explanation as to why square footage is not appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.
‒ An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. ‒ That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.

Nexus Report: Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 3
Since this Nexus Report will be adopted after July 1, 2022, the multifamily residential DIF is calculated in proportion to unit size subject to a maximum and minimum per unit amount.

Units that are larger than the square footage that corresponds to the maximum fee amount will pay the maximum per unit fee. Likewise, units that are smaller than the square footage that applies to the minimum fee amount will pay the per unit minimum fee. As described in this Nexus Report, this approach ensures there is a reasonable relationship between the fee amount and the relative impact on the facilities included in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP.

All State statutory requirements have been followed in establishing this Bayhill Area DIF, as documented in subsequent chapters. Chapter 4 summarizes the specific findings that explain or demonstrate the appropriate nexus. If the Bayhill Area DIF is adopted, this Nexus Report and the technical information it contains should be maintained and reviewed periodically by the City to ensure its accuracy and to enable adequate programming of funding sources. To the extent that infrastructure requirements, costs, and development potential change over time, the Bayhill Area DIF will need to be updated. In that regard, Government Code section 66016.5 also requires nexus studies to be updated at least every eight years. Further information on administration considerations is provided in Chapter 5.

Bayhill Area DIF Levels
Table 1 shows the proposed Bayhill Area DIF supported by the nexus findings and analysis contained in this Nexus Report. As currently calculated, the fee would be applied to all new office, retail, hotel, and multifamily residential projects within the Plan Area. The Specific Plan does not include single-family development. The Bayhill Area DIF Program will be independent and in addition to all other City, County, other agency, or regional development impact fees that may also be applicable to the Plan Area. This is because the Bayhill Area DIF Program does not include the costs of any infrastructure projects that are included in the other development impact fee programs.

Table 1. Proposed Bayhill Area Development Impact Fee

Land Use Category Fee Amount / Unit1
Office $6.17 per sq.ft.

Retail $32.46 per sq.ft.

Hotel $5,739 per hotel room

As shown, the calculated Bayhill Area DIF for nonresidential development is determined to be $6.17 per office square foot, $32.46 per retail square foot, and $5,739 per hotel room. For multifamily residential developments, units between 407 and 2,034 square feet are charged $8.66 per square foot. Units equal to or less than 407 square feet will be charged $3,524 per unit and units equal to or greater than 2,034 square feet will be charged $17,618 per unit. All fees are expressed in FY 2021–22 dollars. It is expected that the City will escalate these amounts annually based on a construction cost index to account for inflation. The amounts shown include a five percent (5%) surcharge to cover program implementation and administration costs, consistent with other Mitigation Fee Act program administrative costs in many other California jurisdictions.1
The Bayhill Area DIF has been calculated to cover the cost of infrastructure needed to serve build-out of the Bayhill Specific Plan Area, as specified in more detail in Chapter 3 and the Appendix and consistent with the Bayhill Area DIF CIP. In particular, the Bayhill Area DIF covers the following infrastructure items:
• On-site and off-site roadway facilities (i.e., traffic signals, traffic safety devices, street improvements, etc.)
• On-site and off-site bicycle, pedestrian, and other active transportation facilities • Potable Water Facilities
• Water Facilities

1 The 5 percent administration cost is designed to cover expenses for preparing subsequent updates to the impact fee technical report as well as the required reporting, auditing, collection, and other annual administrative costs involved in overseeing the program. Development impact fee programs throughout California have applied similar administrative charges. A portion of the cost to prepare this Nexus Report has been paid directly by the developers in the Specific Plan Area outside of this fee.

2. Area DIF Land Use Assumptions
This chapter documents the land use and development assumptions used to calculate the Bayhill Area DIF. The assumptions are based on information from the Bayhill Specific Plan and additional input from City staff.

Site Description an d Current Land Uses
The Bayhill Specific Plan Area covers approximately 92.2 acres in the City of San Bruno and contains the areas commonly known as the Bayhill Office Center and Bayhill Shopping Center.

As shown in Figure 1, the Plan Area is bounded by Interstate 280 to the west, Interstate 380 to the north, properties fronting El Camino Real to the east, and San Bruno Avenue West to the south. In addition to immediate freeway access, the site is proximate to BART and Caltrain stations, providing convenient access to the Bay Area’s major job and housing markets, as well as being a short distance from San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

The Bayhill Specific Plan Area is currently home to major regional and national tenants and property owners, including YouTube, Walmart.com, The Police Credit Union, a Marriott Courtyard hotel as well as a successful retail center anchored by Mollie Stone’s Market and CVS Pharmacy.

Most of the office properties were developed in the 1970s and early 1980s in a typical suburban business park format with abundant surface parking. The Bayhill Shopping Center was constructed in the early 1970s, and the Marriott Courtyard in 1986 (both with surface parking).

As of 2019, the Plan Area contained approximately 1.8 million square feet of development, of which approximately 1.6 million square feet was office space. The median floor area ratio (FAR) of the Plan Area was slightly lower than 0.5, typical for an older suburban office park with surface parking. While the street, utilities, and related infrastructure serving the Plan Area accommodate the existing urban form, these facilities were not designed to meet the evolving needs of a growing workforce or significant new development.

Approved Land Uses and Growth Potential
Approved in 2021 after a four-year planning process, the Bayhill Specific Plan will guide land use and development within the Plan Area over the next 20 years. The planning effort was initiated in the context of YouTube’s desire to expand its headquarters in San Bruno and accommodate Plan Area’s emerging role as a major employment center. As such, the Specific Plan allows for significant intensification of office uses as well as expansion of retail and hotel uses. It also provides opportunities for residential development in designated locations. The current level of public infrastructure (e.g., transportation facilities and utilities) is not sufficient to serve the development envisioned in the Specific Plan.

Potential New Growth Calculations
Table 2 summarizes the maximum development allowed under the Bayhill Specific Plan by land use. It is important to note that the Specific Plan provides for land use flexibility by classifying two types of potential net new growth as shown in the table:

1. Designated New Development: Designated new development refers to potential net new development that is allocated to specific land uses (i.e., office, retail, hotel, and multifamily residential). For this category, the Specific Plan designates 2.25 million square feet to office, 5,000 square feet to retail, 5,000 square feet to hotel, and 573 units to multifamily residential.

2. Unallocated New Development: Unallocated new development refers to the potential net new development that is not allocated to specific land uses to provide future flexibility. 180,700 square feet is unallocated to specific parcels and may be allocated among hotel, retail, and/or office uses for expansion in the future.2 Hotel and retail uses are the priority, and allocation would be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Some property owners and/or developers will need to make trade-offs about the amount of office, commercial, retail, and/or housing development they can pursue.

2 Unallocated development square footage may not be allocated towards residential uses.

Table 2. Maximum Allowable Development

To account for land uses with greater per-square-foot environmental impacts (i.e., retail and hotel uses), the Specific Plan also establishes per-square-foot equivalency ratios for retail and hotel uses that equate their impacts relative to regional office use per the Specific Plan’s Final Environmental Impact Report. The equivalency ratios, which are included in Table 3, will only be used when a developer is seeking use of the 180,700 square feet of unallocated square footage.

In addition, the Plan Area allows for residential uses along San Bruno Avenue on the entire site at 801-851 Traeger Avenue and on 3.95 acres of the 1111 Bayhill Drive site. When residential square footage is developed on these parcels, the office development square footage permitted on these parcels shall be reduced using the conversion factors also shown in Table 3. The reduction of office square footage per residential unit development is based on zoning allocations but ensure equivalent impacts.

Table 3. Office Reduction and Equivalent Conversion Factors

Based on these equivalency factors, Table 4 shows the maximum allowable buildout by land use if 100 percent of the 180,700 square feet of unallocated potential development is allocated to each land use category. As shown, if all 181,700 square feet of unallocated square development was allocated to office use, there would be a net increase of 2.43 million square feet of office space, a 156 percent increase over existing development. If the unallocated square footage was entirely allocated to retail or hotel, the plan could accommodate close to 40,000 new square feet of retail development (32 percent increase over existing) and approximately 120,000 new square feet of hotel development (152 percent increase over existing). Totals by land use category are not additive since the unallocated square footage will be allocated by a ‘first come, first serve basis.’

Table 4. Development Potential by Land Use (at Buildout)

Area DIF Development Assumptions
While the Bayhill Specific Plan designates the maximum allowable development that can occur within the Plan Area, actual development may be less and will unfold over many years. To be conservative, the impact fee calculation assumes that the amount of development that is likely to occur in the Plan Area will be less than the maximum allowable. In particular, the fee calculation assumes that approximately 90 percent of the total allowable development will be achieved within the Plan Area. This assumption is designed to ensure that adequate fee revenue is generated to cover the full cost of required infrastructure needed to serve new development in the Plan Area. A 90 percent build-out assumption is typical for area impact fee programs where future development is expected to occur over a long-time horizon.

Table 5 derives the amount of development used in the Area DIF calculation. This is done by converting all the land uses to equivalent office square footage using the inverse of the conversion factors shown in Table 3. For example, if 0.19 square feet of retail is one square foot of office, 5.26 square feet of office is equivalent to one square feet of retail. If 0.64 square feet of hotel is equivalent to one square foot of office, 1.56 square foot of office is equivalent to one square foot of hotel.

Table 5. Amount of Development Assumed in DIF Calculation

As shown, out of the total allowable development of approximately 2.46 million office equivalent square feet, the Area DIF assumes approximately 2.21 million square feet will occur over the 20-year buildout period (i.e., 90 percent of the total allowed). It is important to note that the Area DIF calculation will be recalibrated periodically and at least once every eight (8) years per AB-602 to account for actual development (which may be more or less than 90 percent of the potential on parcels developed), evolving infrastructure needs, updated cost estimates, and other factors.

3. Area DIF Infrastructure and Cost
Assumptions
This chapter describes the public infrastructure and improvements that are needed in part or in full to accommodate the growth and corresponding level of service standards described in the Bayhill Specific Plan. It also estimates the one-time costs needed to deliver these infrastructure improvements and their allocation between existing and new development. Consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act, ongoing maintenance costs and the portion of infrastructure costs needed to address existing deficiencies are excluded from the Area DIF calculation.

Area DIF Capital Improvement Plan
The capital improvements included in the DIF Program are derived from Table 7-1 in the Bayhill Specific Plan with minor modifications. The Specific Plan identified these improvements as necessary to accommodate the level of service standards embodied therein or in the City’s General Plan as well as address mitigations identified through the Environmental Impact Report (EIR). While the list of projects included in the DIF Program reflect those included in the Specific Plan, costs have been updated to reflect updated information provided by City staff and in consultation with transportation engineers Fehr & Peers. In addition, EPS escalated the costs to reflect 2022 dollars as appropriate, given that most of the Specific Plan estimates reflect 2019 data.
3 Table 6 summarizes the costs defined in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP proposed to be approved by the City Council in conjunction with the Bayhill Area DIF Program. Estimated infrastructure hard and soft costs total $45.6 million. The infrastructure analysis underlying the fee program concluded that all the improvements listed in Table 6 will be needed regardless of the mix of land uses that comprise the 180,700 square feet of “unallocated” development.4 For example, as shown in Table 4, 180,700 square feet of office development is expected to generate a similar demand for infrastructure and associated costs as 34,300 square feet of new retail space or 115,700 square feet of hotel space. In addition, the analysis finds that the Plan Area is likely to require a similar level of infrastructure even if less than a full build-out occurs as these projects would be needed to make the planning area viable to development. Specifically, a level of development representing approximately 90 percent of the maximum allowable is expected to require the full array of transportation, utilities and related infrastructure defined in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP.

3 Most costs shown in Table 7.1 of the Specific Plan have been inflated by 6.4 percent to reflect increases in construction costs from 2019 to 2022, based on data from the Engineering News Record. 4 All improvements except for item #13 and #15 on the CIP list would be needed even if residential uses were developed.

The transportation project is listed in the City's Walk 'n Bike Plan (2016). The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth and existing City users, with greater benefit being provided to the Bayhill Office Park due to the proximity of the improvements (25% of Estimated Project Cost).

Create a bicycle boulevard on repaved Euclid Avenue with bicycle ramps and crossing to future Huntington cycle track; add wayfinding signage, pedestrian-scale lighting, and landscaping along San Bruno Avenue between El Camino and Caltrain station; add high-visibility crosswalks, crosswalk signage, and bulbouts along San Bruno Avenue at all intersections currently missing these treatments.

The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth and existing City users (25.5% of the Estimated Project Cost). The Bayhill Area Plan contribution to the larger water tank has been adjusted down (22.1%) to account for the fair share payment of the smaller water tank in the Citywide Development Impact Fee.

The developers are not required to contribute to the stormwater project because the improvement addresses an existing deficiency in the storm drainage system. A 30 feet wide easement shall be provided along the alignment of the storm drain pipeline if the existing or realigned storm drain pipe remains at 72-inches. The easement width may be reduced to 20 feet along the alignment if the developer constructs a single larger conveyance pipe at the City determined required capacity.

Transportation project cost allocations are based on trip generation numbers. Unless footnoted otherwise, the transportation project is necessitated as a result of the growth from the Specific Plan adoption and/or serves and benefits the Specific Plan area. The Bayhill Specific Plan Share is its share relative to the projected Citywide new development growth (44% of Estimated Project Cost).

Infrastructure Cost Allocation
Consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act, the Area DIF calculation excludes the cost of infrastructure improvements that are necessary to address existing deficiencies and/or serve other areas of the city. Thus, this analysis does not include costs that are needed to address existing deficiencies or maintenance projects—only upgrades to expand system capacity.

In addition, there is no overlap between the projects within the citywide development impact fee program and the Bayhill DIF Program, except for the water tank (see Table 9, later in this report) which accounts for and excludes fee revenue expected to be collected from the citywide program.

Based on the infrastructure analysis conducted for the Specific Plan and updated for this Nexus Report, approximately 29 percent of the total infrastructure cost listed in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP have been allocated to new development in the Plan Area (see Table 6 above). In other words, 71 percent of the costs have been allocated to address either existing infrastructure needs and/or development elsewhere in the city. This means that of the total $45.6 million in required infrastructure improvements listed in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP, approximately $13 million are included in the Area DIF calculation.5 During the course of the fee program, the City will need to identify other revenue sources for the remaining $32.6 million in costs associated with the Bay Area DIF CIP.

This analysis utilizes the following approaches to arrive at the infrastructure cost allocation described above.
• Transportation Improvements Needed to Address Citywide Growth. Some of the transportation improvements included in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP are needed to accommodate citywide growth but are not necessary to serve the existing land uses. In other words, these improvements are not needed to address existing deficiencies in the transportation network and are thus allocated between growth in Bayhill and growth elsewhere in the city. As shown in Table 7, the Bayhill share represents approximately 44 percent of the city total based on this allocation. See Appendix for more information. • Transportation Improvements that Benefit Both New and Existing Land Uses. Some of the transportation improvements included in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP benefit both existing land uses and new development citywide. For these improvements, the DIF calculation first allocates total cost between existing city land uses and projected development. This results in an approximately 12.5 percent allocation to new development. However, as shown in Table 7, the DIF calculation double the cost allocation to 25 percent for new Bayhill development to account for the fact that the improvements in this category disproportionately benefit the Plan Area. For example, the bicycle/ pedestrian crossing improvements at the intersection of El Camino Real and Bayhill Drive/Euclid Avenue are also included in the City's 2016 Walk 'n Bike Plan (2016) and thus benefit both new and existing development citywide. However, given the proximity of these improvements to Bayhill, the Plan Area will disproportionately benefit.

5 This report and associated multifamily fee also account for the possibility that the 363 units of multifamily units would be constructed instead of office at 801-851 Traeger and 1111 Bayhill. An additional 210 residential units could be constructed at the Bayhill Shopping Center which would not require a reduction of office development.

Table 7. Transportation Improvement Cost Allocation

• Transportation Improvements for Traeger/San Bruno Avenue Signalization. This analysis assumes that the primary beneficiaries of a new signal for the Traeger and San Bruno Avenue intersection will be land uses within the Bayhill Specific Plan. There is some need for a signal with existing uses in the Plan Area and trips originating from the Plan Area, but growth with the Bayhill Specific Plan significantly increases the need and justifies signalization of this intersection. In other words, this signal would not be needed “but for” the land uses in the Plan Area. Accordingly, a cost allocation of approximately 81 percent to the Area DIF reflects the relative share attributable to growth in trips from new Bayhill development, as shown in Table 8. See Appendix for more information.

Table 8. Cost Allocation for Traeger/San Bruno Avenue Signalization

• Cost Allocation for Buried Water Tank at Commodore Park. The Bayhill Specific Plan calls out a need for a new water tank at Commodore Park that will provide potable water to the Specific Plan Area. Given that this water tank will serve new development elsewhere in the city, only 22 percent of the cost has been allocated to the Area DIF, as shown in Table 9.

This allocation also accounts for payments by new Bayhill Plan Area development required as part of the existing citywide DIF, which includes collection of funds for a share of the water tank.

• Improvement Cost Allocated Entirely to Bayhill Development. A small number of the improvements included in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP are assumed to be entirely attributable to new development in the Plan Area. In other words, these improvements would not be developed, but for the development of the Plan Area. Accordingly, 100 percent of the cost for these projects are included in the Area DIF.

4. Area DIF Nexus Findings and Calculations
This chapter documents the Bayhill Area DIF calculation and methodology as well as required nexus findings. Specifically, it demonstrates the "nexus" between new development in Bayhill and the infrastructure improvements needed to serve it, as required under Government Code Section 66000 (also referred to as AB1600/the Mitigation Fee Act).

Nexus Findings
The development impact fee to be collected for all new development in the Plan Area is calculated based on the proportionate share of demand for facilities identified in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP that these land uses represent. With this context, the following findings are made regarding the Fee Program, with each finding supported by the information and analyses in this Nexus Report.

Purpose of Fee
The purpose of the Fee Program is to provide a funding mechanism to help the City provide adequate infrastructure as described in the Bayhill Area DIF CIP to support development authorized by the Bayhill Specific Plan.

Use of Fees
The fee charged to office, retail/commercial, hotel, and residential development will be used to fund improvements to infrastructure necessary to accommodate growth consistent with the Bayhill Specific Plan and level of service requirements described therein. Infrastructure improvements include transportation improvements and water infrastructure. The list of eligible capital projects and costs are summarized in Chapter 3.

Relationship between Use of Fees and Type of Development New development in the Plan Area will require additional infrastructure capacity consistent with the level of public services and facilities defined in the Bayhill Specific Plan. Improvements to existing infrastructure are not currently required by existing land uses in the area, although they will benefit from it. Accordingly, some of the costs for the infrastructure program have been allocated to existing development both in the Plan Area and the citywide.

Relationship between Need for Facility and Type of Project The specific infrastructure improvements identified in this study are designed to accommodate the needs of new development. In addition, the infrastructure is based on the land use and urban design goals as well as level of service standards and associated facilities described in the Bayhill Specific Plan.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 17
Relationship between Amount of Fees and Cost of or Portion of Facility Attributed to Development on which Fee is Imposed
The fee levels calculated in this Nexus Report are based on a fair share cost allocation to new Plan Area development. Approximately 29 percent of the costs are allocated to the planned development, with the remainder attributable to existing land uses (both in the Plan Area and elsewhere in the city) as well as citywide growth. New development in the Plan Area will also be responsible for paying all applicable City fees.6
For multifamily development, the Bayhill DIF is calculated in proportion to square footage up to a maximum but no less than minimum amount. The per square foot residential fee amount is based on estimated person per household, with larger units assumed to accommodate more people and thus having a larger impact on the need for Bayhill DIF CIP facilities (and vice versa for smaller units).

Area DIF Calculations
The following steps describe the methodology for calculating the Bayhill Area DIF. The specific calculations are shown in Table 10:

1. Determine the total amount of new development in the Plan Area that will require or benefit from infrastructure improvements. In this case, the Bayhill Area DIF applies to approximately

2.21 million square feet of office equivalent space, representing approximately 90 percent of permissible growth under the Bayhill Specific Plan (discussed in Chapter 2).

2. Determine the infrastructure needed to serve new development in the Plan Area and associated costs attributable to this development (as shown in Table 6).

3. Divide the allocated cost by square feet of new “office equivalent” development in the Plan Area to determine the justifiable fee per square foot of development.

4. Determine land use equivalency factors between office and other allowable development in the Plan Area (i.e., commercial/retail, hotel, and multifamily residential). This is derived by dividing the amount of proposed office square footage that could be developed instead of each other land use (as detailed in the Specific Plan and shown in Table 3).

5. Use the office equivalency factors to convert the office fee to an equivalent fee per unit of measurement for other allowable development (i.e., square feet for commercial/retail, room for hotel, and dwelling unit for multifamily residential).

7Typical standard for overcrowding is more than one person per room (excluding bathrooms) resulting in a 5 persons per household assumption for a three-bedroom unit (one person per bedroom plus two additional for living area and kitchen).

Table 10. Bayhill Area DIF Calculations (FY$21-22)

Derivation of Residential DIF per Square Foot
Consistent with the requirements of (AB) 602, the multifamily fee derived in Table 10 and described above is used as a basis for calculating a DIF that scales in proportion to unit square feet. The calculations are shown in Table 11 and based on data and assumptions related to average people per unit and square footage of multifamily housing in San Bruno. The analysis assumes that the impact of residential development on the Bayhill DIF CIP will scale by persons per household and that larger units can accommodate more people. The methodological steps and assumptions are further summarized below:
• Average Person per Household: According to the US Census, multifamily units in San Bruno average 2.33 person per household. This number of people per household is assumed to correspond to the average multifamily fee of $8,210 per unit calculated in Table 10 above.
• Average Square Feet for Multifamily Units: Based on data provided by City staff on new multifamily housing projects in the city (see Appendix), the weighted average unit size is 948 square feet. The unit size corresponds to 2.33 persons per household and the average multifamily fee of $8,210, as shown in Table 10. This fee amount, in turn, equates to $8.66 per square foot, a rate used to calculate the multifamily DIF that is proportional to size. • Maximum Persons per Household. Based on data provided by City staff (see Appendix), there are no examples of four bedroom or larger multifamily units being developed in the city. As a result, this analysis calculates a maximum multifamily DIF based on the number of people that can be accommodated in a three (3) bedroom household. Specifically, the highest multifamily DIF is calculated based on five (5.0) people per unit which corresponds to Estimating Factor Source / Assumption Formula Amount1

a typical over-crowding standard (it is unlikely that any multifamily unit will accommodate more than 5 people).7
• Minimum Persons per Household Size. This analysis assumes that the minimum multifamily fee will correspond to a one person per household. Since all units will have a minimum of one person, there is no nexus for calculating a fee that corresponds to less than one person.
• Maximum and Minimum Multifamily Fee per Unit: This analysis scales the maximum and minimum fee per unit based on a high of 5 people to a low of 1 person per household.

The actual fee amount is scaled up or down based on the proportional increase or decrease from the average fee (i.e., $8,210 per unit) and corresponding average unit size and persons per household (948 square feet and 2.33 people, respectively). For example, the maximum fee of $17,618 per unit corresponds to 5 people per household, representing a 2.17-fold increase from the average household size (5.0 ÷ 2.3 = 2.17). Likewise, the minimum fee of $3,524 corresponds to 1 person per household, or 43.5% percent of the average household size (1 ÷ 2.3 = 43.5%).

Based on the foregoing analysis, EPS provides the following findings to address the requirements of (AB) 602.

An explanation as to why square footage is not appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.

Square footage is an appropriate metric for calculating the Bayhill Area DIF for multifamily development for units up to a maximum and above a minimum size. The multifamily DIF per square foot is based on the average square footage and persons per household for multifamily units in San Bruno. Since it is very unlikely that future multifamily projects in the Bayhill Specific Plan will include units with more than three bedrooms, it is equally unlikely that there will be more than five people per unit. Thus, the maximum multifamily fee is calculated to correspond to a five-person household. Likewise, the minimum multifamily DIF corresponds to a one-person household (there is no nexus for fee less than the amount attributable to one person per unit).

An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.

All multifamily units that are larger than the maximum square footage that corresponds to a five- person household are charged the maximum allowable DIF. Since it is highly unlikely that these units will accommodate more than five people, a flat rate is appropriate. Likewise, all multifamily units that are below the minimum square footage corresponding to a one-person household are charged the minimum DIF. Since a one-person household represents that minimum impact, no units, no matter how small, should be charged less.

That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.

Since Bayhill Specific Plan does not allow single-family development, it supports residential development patterns that are likely to be more compact and less land intensive on a per unit basis. The incentive for smaller units is further reinforced by the per square foot DIF structure described above.

5. Area DIF Implementation and
Administration
The proposed Bayhill Area DIF Program is anticipated to be adopted by the City of San Bruno through an enabling ordinance establishing and authorizing collection of the fees. The City will also adopt a resolution approving this Nexus Report, along with the Bayhill Capital Improvement Plan, and establishing the fee amounts. This chapter describes the additional implementation and administrative issues and procedures to be addressed in the DIF Program.

Credits and Re imbursement
Given that the Plan Area consists of multiple property owners and existing uses, the timing of future development, and thus generation of fee revenue, will depend on economics and a variety of other factors. Some existing property owners may wish to continue to operate in their existing buildings for the foreseeable future while others may seek to pursue development in the short- term. For property owners who are interested in pursuing development in the near term, funding for any required up-front infrastructure may need to come from sources other than the Plan Area Development Impact Fee.

Give the potential delay between when needed infrastructure must be built and enough impact fee revenues are collected from new development, it is common for impact fee programs to include developer credits and reimbursements. Credits and reimbursements usually apply when alternative funding is required to pay for infrastructure facilities that are needed prior to availability of sufficient fee revenue. This alternative funding may be in the form of land-secured bonds, developer equity, or another form of private funding. However, there is typically no adjustment to a Fee Program based on the method by which a private party funds or constructs eligible project costs.

Fee Credits
Impact fee ordinances frequently allow for fee credits if a developer provides or funds a particular facility or improvement that would have otherwise been funded in whole or in part by another source (e.g., an area DIF). For example, the City may elect to offer a fee credit to developers who provide transportation related improvements, consistent with those specified in the current Bayhill Area DIF program. The fee credit is usually equal to the most current cost estimate of the infrastructure item (as defined by annual cost review or other recent evaluation of cost) regardless of the actual cost to construct. It is recommended that the City’s Ordinance allow for fee credits under specific terms.

Fee Reimbursements
Fee reimbursements are typically considered for developers who contribute more funding and/or build and dedicate infrastructure items that exceed their proportional obligation, especially if the

227 of 243

Nexus Report: Bayhill Specific Plan Area Development Impact Fee September 2022

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 22
infrastructure funded is a priority project. Such reimbursements should be provided over time as fee revenue from other development becomes available but should not compromise or delay implementation of other priority capital projects.

The total amount of reimbursement for completed infrastructure will be based on the most current cost estimate of the infrastructure item (as defined by annual cost review or other recent evaluation of cost) or the actual costs incurred for eligible hard costs based on a properly bid construction contract. Soft costs can be calculated as a fixed percentage of hard costs. All hard costs will be subject to verification by the City and actual costs expended will go through a true- up process upon completion of the infrastructure component.

Periodic Program Updates and Fee Adjustments
This fee program is based on the estimated Bayhill Specific Plan land use program as well as the associated capital facility needs identified as of 2022. It is recognized that these individual infrastructure projects and associated costs may change over time due to economic, technological, or other factors. The amount of residential development may also deviate from the projections assumed in the Fee Program. These factors may affect the appropriate fee level needed to cover necessary infrastructure. Accordingly, the Nexus Report should be updated periodically to account for these potential changes. Ideally this would occur every five (5) years (and no later than every eight years per (AB) 602), however, more frequent updates may be necessary to account for major changes.

The Development Impact Fee Ordinance should also allow for an automatic annual adjustment to account for inflation. This adjustment will be based on data from the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:October 25, 2022
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY:Jennifer Dianos, Assistant to the City Manager SUBJECT: Re-appoint Expired Members and Make New Appointments to Fill Current Vacancies on Commissions Boards and Committees
BACKGROUND: The City of San Bruno has 10 citizen Advisory Commissions, Boards and Committees, commonly referred to as “CBCs.” As the governing body for the City of San Bruno, the City Council appoints all members to CBCs.

In October of every even year, half of the City’s current CBC Members’ terms expire, and a recruitment to fill those seats occurs. At that time expiring members who wish to be reappointed to serve another term are invited to submit a new application for possible reappointment to the committee, board, or commission that they currently serve. Additionally, positions on CBCs become vacant from time to time. When this occurs, the City Clerk’s Office administers a recruitment for the vacant position and notifies the City Council of the vacancy.

At present, there are several vacant positions on CBCs (listed below) and, on October 31, 2022, the four-year terms for 23 terms of existing appointees will expire. Several existing members have applied to be reappointed, some members have elected not to be reappointed, and there are new applicants for some vacant and expiring CBC positions.

Staff presented the appointment process at a Special City Council meeting on October 11, 2022 and received direction from the City Council to schedule interviews as soon as possible for the Boards, Commissions, and Committees that may be in jeopardy of a quorum and to proceed with the remaining interviews.

DISCUSSION: A summary of the 10 Citizen Advisory Commissions, Boards and Committees is noted below:
•Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee, 7 Members
•Citizen’s Crime Prevention Committee, 7 Members
•Citizens Revenue Measure Oversight Committee, 7 Members •Culture & Arts Commission, 7 Members
•Emergency Preparedness Committee, 5 Members
•Parks & Recreation Commission, 8 Members plus 1 Youth
•Planning Commission, 7 Members
•Recreation and Aquatics Center Advisory Committee, 8 Members
