City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
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 for San Bruno Community Engagement Process and Community Priorities Progress Report 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, Inc. (“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 (“project”). The project seeks to retain and upgrade Target and refresh the 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 encompasses the entire 44-acre Tanforan site. The preliminary project description is provided as Attachment 2.
The application also includes a proposed life science campus that will be owned and operated by Alexandria, who operates exclusively in the life science market 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 4 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2022
Tanforan during World War II and stands as a symbol against future injustice.
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 (www.TanforanForSanBruno.com). The purpose of this effort is to keep the community informed of the project and solicit community input throughout the City’s planning process for the Tanforan development project. This effort will ensure that how Tanforan transforms will support the San Bruno community today and for the next generation to come. 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.
At the October 25, 2022 City Council meeting, staff provided a presentation of an update on the Tanforan preliminary project application submittal and the City’s community engagement process. That meeting was the kickoff to a robust community engagement effort led by the City and their community engagement and communications consultant Singer Associates.
DISCUSSION: This agenda item provides an update on the Tanforan for San Bruno community engagement process and Community Priorities Progress Report that serves to inform the priorities around San Bruno’s future and the City’s review of the project.
Community Engagement
Due to the site’s importance as a multi-modal transportation hub and its historical significance, the City launched a comprehensive engagement effort known as Tanforan For San Bruno to explore Tanforan’s past, identify the City’s emerging needs and opportunities, and help articulate what matters most to the community. 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 explore Tanforan’s past, identify the City’s emerging needs and opportunities, and help articulate what matters most to the community. This robust 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 Tanforan for San Bruno public engagement effort incorporated input from not only residents of San Bruno, but also from the broader, regional community.
Key components of the engagement effort include a website and storefront space:
● City Dedicated Website: The City’s dedicated website, www.TanforanForSanBruno.com, is a central point of information for public engagement. The website provides context, virtual engagement tools, frequently asked questions, meeting and event dates, and project application information. The website can be translated using Google Translate which offers translation into over 100 other languages. As of early March 2023, there were 19,749 total website visitors since it was launched in October 2022. A digital survey was hosted on the website starting in November 2022 through the end of February 2023. There was a total of 609 survey responses, with over 44 percent being San Bruno residents. 5 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2022
● The Tanforan Public Engagement Center: A storefront space inside the Shops at Tanforan opened in November 2022. It is being utilized by the City and our consultants to host inperson participation. Between November 2022 and February 2023, a total of 13 in person events have been held. The space has hosted a variety of meeting formats, including four drop-in open houses, various drop-in office hours, and small group meetings. It provided a means of visually illustrating the rich history of the site, the economic realities driving the need for change and inviting participation to help steer the vision of the project. Activities at the storefront also included ranking community priorities and sharing memories of times spent at Tanforan as a means of capturing trends and desires that need to be reflected in the new development plans.
Outreach
The Tanforan for San Bruno engagement effort utilized a variety of outreach methods to not only increase awareness of the proposed project, but also to solicit the public’s feedback regarding broad community priorities and the future of Tanforan. The communication methods utilized to distribute information related to engagement events and opportunities include the Tanforan for San Bruno and City’s social media account (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) posts, flyers, direct mail to all city mailing addresses, email, City Manager’s eNewsletter articles, and various forms of social and digital advertising.
This outreach was designed to stimulate responses to a survey and other quantitative and qualitative feedback activities, regardless of whether that engagement took place digitally on the www.TanforanForSanBruno.com website or in-person at the public engagement center. The digital and in-person engagement experience presented community members with equally accessible and identical opportunities to provide feedback.
Community Priorities Progress Report
The outcome of the first phase of the community engagement efforts is the Community Priorities Progress Report (report). The report articulates community priorities based on public input. The identification of broad community priorities in planning for San Bruno’s future will help focus the City's review of the project and inform the City‘s policy decisions. As San Bruno continues to grow and evolve, it is important to ensure that the City’s development priorities reflect the needs and aspirations of the community. The report is provided as Attachment 1. It is also available in a digital flipbook format online at https://tanforanforsanbruno.com/progressreport/ This report presents the results of a robust and meaningful consultation with residents of San Bruno and the broader community aimed at identifying key, shared priorities for the future.
Through a series of in person open house events, office hours, and digital surveys and exercises, the report gathered and presents insights and perspectives from a diverse crosssection of the population. These findings offer valuable insights on public priorities as the City considers this and future development opportunities.
The City of San Bruno‘s Tanforan for San Bruno community engagement effort solicited the public’s feedback in both quantitative and qualitative forms. Both data types provided the City of San Bruno with compelling perspectives on community preferences and priorities for the Tanforan redevelopment project. The report is organized as follows:
● Purpose of the Project

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2022
● Process of the Approach – Overview of outreach including the metrics, approach, and storefront
● Results of the Engagement – Demographics of survey participants, sentiment, engagement activities
● Insights From the Findings – Key takeaways based on results ● Summary From the City
The data in the report suggest that the community’s priorities continue to align with the City’s framework laid out in the Reimagining Tanforan Land Use Fact Sheet. The report’s findings also revealed an apparent public enthusiasm and excitement for Tanforan’s future. Engagement with the survey not only reflected the community’s robust and thoughtful approach to weighing future uses at the site, but also a public investment and trust in the project’s expanded review process warranted by its unique location.
As this information was evaluated, a number of high-level takeaways can be gleaned from the results related to economics, retail, community gathering, housing, sustainability. The community expressed excitement about the project’s capacity to ensure future prosperity, spur new development and improvements to infrastructure, and promote job creation. There was support for new retail options, publicly accessible open spaces, and housing. In conclusion, the overall community feedback demonstrates alignment of community interests and priorities with the vision for the redevelopment of the project site presented in the Reimagining Tanforan Land Use Fact Sheet, upon which the submitted preliminary project application was based.
NEXT STEPS: The report is available online for community review and feedback. Tours of the Tanforan Public Engagement Center are also available to the public.
The application review process, which is estimated to take 18 to 24 months in total since it started in October 2022, will now move into a new phase that 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 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. The City will also work with key stakeholders, agencies, and other interested parties, including BART, SFO and FAA.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact from the informational update on the Tanforan for San Bruno community engagement process and Community Priorities Progress Report.
Consistent with City Council policy to maximize cost recovery for development related services, the project applicant has executed a Reimbursement Agreement with the City to reimburse the full cost of processing the preliminary project application.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The informational update on the Tanforan for San Bruno community engagement process and Community Priorities Progress Report does not have the potential for creation of a significant environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and as such are exempt from further environmental consideration per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

RESULTS of the engagement
I grew up in San Bruno during the early
years of the mall in the 70s. There was
so much to see and do. As a kid I used
to participate in the Hot Wheel races
in front of Sears. My first part time job
was working the parking lot sales for the
Emporium. I remember when they built
Shelter Creek and moved the Fireworks
in the 2 empty fields across from Sears
Parking lot. Pulling pranks on my
friends from the second level. Going
to the theaters and hanging out with
friends who worked there.”

24 INSIGHTS from the findings
The City of San Bruno’s Tanforan For San Bruno
community engagement effort solicited the
public’s feedback in both quantitative and
qualitative forms. Both data types provide
the City of San Bruno with compelling
perspectives on community priorities for the
Tanforan of tomorrow. As this information was
evaluated, a number of high-level takeaways
can be gleaned from the results.
How can a new
Tanforan benefit the
broader San Bruno
community?
32 of 141
25 1. Economics
The results demonstrate a clear mandate that
the site’s use must help to drive San Bruno’s
economic engine. The public was vocal about
Tanforan’s capacity to ensure future prosperity,
spur new development and improvements to
infrastructure, and promote job creation.
33 of 141
2. New Retail Options
Qualitative data suggests that respondents’ fond
memories at Tanforan centered around social
interactions, relationships, and community.
On the other hand, quantitative data reflects
a definitive public priority in modernizing
retail experiences at the 44-acre site. Taken
together, the community has expressed a
desire to see an array of retail options that
balance life’s necessities with unique dining
and entertainment options.
26 34 of 141
3. Community Gathering
Many San Bruno residents and local
organizations desire increased publicly
accessible open spaces for gathering
and building unity through education and
the arts, providing accessible areas for
community members to come together, learn,
and experience different cultures, thereby
promoting a greater sense of connection.
We need a safe place for our community to
hangout that has outdoor covered areas,
small play spaces, cafes and snack shacks.”

4. Housing
While concerns related to housing reflect an
acceptance that the region is suffering from
an affordability crisis, generally the public
viewed the amount, size, and type of housing
proposed in the Preliminary Project Application
as appropriately balanced. The results illustrate
a public enthusiasm for housing at various
income levels adjacent to transit and jobs.
28 36 of 141
29 5. Sustainability
Respondents expressed a demand for
Tanforan’s future to include sustainable
features that reduce environmental impacts.

30 SUMMARY from the City of San Bruno
The Tanforan For San Bruno community engagement process represented the City of San Bruno’s effort to develop a shared public vision for the Tanforan of tomorrow. This outreach intentionally started an important dialogue about our future— and while that conversation is just beginning, it has already shed light on how a new Tanforan can benefit the broader San Bruno community.
The early datapoints in this report suggest
that the community’s priorities for the
44-acre site continue to align with the
City’s framework laid out in the
Reimagining Tanforan Land Use Fact Sheet.
This process revealed an apparent public enthusiasm and excitement around Tanforan’s future. Engagement with the survey not only reflected the community’s robust and thoughtful approach to weighing future uses at the site, but also a public investment and trust in the project’s expanded review process warranted by its unique location. Tanforan’s proximity to San Francisco International Airport, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), Caltrain, I-280, and I-380 underscored the project’s immense importance to the community’s future.
CONCLUSION
38 of 141
This Community Engagement Priorities Report will be presented to the San Bruno City Council on March 28, 2023 as the City’s technical and environmental review of the proposed project begins.
The City has retained Good City Company and ICF International, Inc. to provide consulting services related to the project’s planning entitlement processing including the environmental review required under the California Environmental Quality Act and the override of land use restrictions associated with site’s proximity to San Francisco International Airport.
While this report’s completion marks the conclusion of the community priorities identification portion of the Tanforan For San Bruno community engagement process, ample opportunities to share additional feedback with the City and developer teams lay ahead. This includes, but is not limited to, official public comment periods associated with the project’s planning and environmental reviews.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Lee, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Receive Written Update on the City’s Response Efforts to the Late 2022/Early 2023 Winter Storms
BACKGROUND:
This report is to provide an update on the City’s response efforts to the Late 2022/Early 2023 winter storms. The information provided in this report is as of the time it was produced and may be subject to change.
In late December 2022 and early January 2023, California began experiencing severe winter storms related to a series of atmospheric river systems causing record rainfall. This event brought high winds, substantial precipitation, flooding, and other safety hazards across San Mateo County and neighboring regions. From mid-January to present, additional weather events, ranging from minor to severe, have continued to impact the City and cause damage to both public and private property. Soil saturation as well as heavy rains and wind have caused tree failures throughout the City –resulting in temporary road closures and power outages.
Typically, before each rainy season and significant weather event, City staff undertake various storm preparation activities. This includes trash/debris removal, inspection/cleaning of catch basin grates and storm drain trash capture devices, resupply of the City’s free sandbag station and other preparatory tasks.
In response to this storm event, the City activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on Monday, January 3, 2023, to redeploy City resources and personnel to perform essential functions and ensure public safety by working to protect infrastructure. If evacuations were needed, the City designated the San Bruno Senior Center as a temporary evacuation point (TEP) and stood ready to open the TEP at a moment’s notice.
The City of San Bruno also partnered with the Jericho Project to ensure an adequate supply of sandbags were available to residents in need during the storms. Personnel from Jericho Project were deployed in the middle of the storm to fill sandbags and transition the City’s self-serve sandbag station into a drive-through operation, while other cities were experiencing sandbag shortages.
As the rain subsided, the City deactivated the EOC on Thursday, January 12, 2023, with the EOC ready to be reactivated, as needed. The City remains under a Local State of Emergency. 85 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
The City also continues to identify and assess both short-term and long-term repairs to stormrelated damage.
DISCUSSION:
While the major rain has stopped and the flooding has subsided, the city continues to proactively respond to infrastructure damage and implement repairs as quickly as is feasible from the event. As of March 15, 2023, the City’s finance department has calculated stormrelated expenditures (i.e., staff time and other storm expenses) to be approximately $1,000,000.
The total cost for all infrastructure repairs is currently estimated at $1,000,000 as of March 15, 2023 (Table 1).

TOTAL $991,674
With the current assessment of the preliminary damage, over 85 percent of the preliminary cost estimate amount shown above is related to repairs to failures of the City’s storm water system, particularly a sinkhole and failure of a 54-inch stormwater drainpipe at the north west corner of Skyline Boulevard and Sneath Lane. As of March 15, 2023, the City is still in the process of 86 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
completing the repairs. Staff is also continuing to investigate and determine an engineering repair for the sunken manhole at Oakmont Drive.
Table 1 above is updated from a previous iteration which was presented to City Council on February 14, 2023. As investigations continued into the damage, staff identified ten (10) locations where emergency infrastructure repair was not needed or it was deemed that damages were not eligible per Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be classified as caused by the storm. Those locations included mudslides at Sites 1,2,3,4,5,7,8 and13, along with RO streetlight outages at Sites 9 and 19. For Sites 1 and 7, staff are currently investigating if the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds are eligible for infrastructure improvements that can reduce the effects of future storms.
At approximately 5:30p.m. on March 9, 2023, 3 Eucalyptus trees fell on the 3rd base line at Diamond 3. The backstop, 3rd base line fence and 3rd base dugout were severely damaged.
The 3rd base bleachers have been structurally compromised and the infield light pole along 3rd base along with the lights have been damaged beyond repair. The tree is currently sitting on the pathway and the City is unable to determine if some of the asphalt will need to be repaired.
Repairs needed are to replace the infield cyclone fence of the field including the backstop, rebuild the dugouts, grade the field along the 3rd base line and replace the light pole.
Additionally, there is a 6’ high cyclone fence that separates the fence from Crystal Springs Road that is damaged. Approximately 100’ of this fence will also have to be replaced.
As the City continues its winter storm-related recovery efforts, a focus will now be on reimbursement recovery for the substantial storm-related costs, which, as indicated in Table 1 above, have amassed to approximately $1,000,000 as of March 15, 2023, with a large portion of it currently attributing to one project. As an initial step, staff attended FEMA’s applicant briefing on March 8, 2023, to kick-off the FEMA Public Assistance Grant Program reimbursement process. To assist with reimbursement recovery efforts, the City is engaging with professional consulting firm, Kermani Consulting Group, to provide disaster cost recovery and grant management support for the 2023 storm disasters under the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) programs (FEMA-4683-DRCA/CDAA 2023-01).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Since the winter storms began in late 2022, the estimated public infrastructure repairs is currently estimated at $1,000,000. As of March 15, 2023, expenditures (i.e., staff time and other storm expenses) are totaled at approximately $1,000,000. The cost to repair damage from tree failures that occurred since March 15 are not included in the above estimate and could not be estimated at the time this report was produced. As described above, the City has engaged with a professional consulting firm to seek reimbursement from Federal/State disaster funds and insurance, however, if these efforts are unsuccessful, the storm-related expenditures will be funded by the General Fund Emergency Reserves.

Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Cora Dino, Chief People Officer
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Mayor to Execute Employment Agreement Between the City of San Bruno and Interim City Manager Alex D. McIntyre
BACKGROUND: On April 15, 2023, the City will have a vacant City Manager position due to current City Manager Jovan Grogan’s resignation after nearly five years of leading the City. Pending the successful executive search and recruitment of the City’s next full-time regular City Manager, the City is poised to appoint an Interim City Manager to provide executive oversight of the City’s government and implementation of City Council priorities to ensure effective service delivery to the San Bruno community.
DISCUSSION: The City Manager job classification reports to the City Council and is one of two positions appointed directly by the City Council.
After the announcement of current City Manager Jovan Grogan’s departure, the City Council first met in closed session on February 10, 2023 to discuss the recruitment of a City Manager and the appointment of an Interim City Manager. Due to the time needed to recruit for an Interim City Manager, Council opted for staff to not conduct a recruitment for the Interim City Manager position. Instead, staff reached out to various contacts, former city managers, contacted referrals from executive search firms for leads and for potential candidates interested in the Interim City Manager position.
To ensure the City efficiently obtained names of seasoned city manager candidates within a short window of time, City Manager Grogan authorized staff to use Baker Tilly (formerly Management Partners), a reputable management consulting firm familiar with the needs of San Bruno to provide names of immediately available, experienced city manager candidates interested in leading the City for approximately four to five months. The resumes were reviewed by the entire City Council and the candidates that best met Council requirements advanced and were interviewed by the entire City Council on March 7, 2023. The City Council was impressed with the top candidates overall and ultimately selected Alex D. McIntyre because of his thirty plus years of city management and governmental leadership experience, some in the bay area/peninsula region, specifically in the County of San Mateo. It was a unanimous decision.
At the March 14, 2023 council meeting, the City Council designated Mayor Rico Medina and Councilmember Michael Salazar as labor negotiators. The labor negotiators and Interim City Manager candidate Alex D. McIntyre discussed compensation, benefits, and terms and conditions of an employment agreement and reached a verbal agreement on March 16, 2023. The proposed employment agreement reflects the result of the negotiations. If the City 93 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
Council approves the employment agreement, it is anticipated that Interim City Manager Alex D.
McIntyre will officially join the City on April 15, 2023, and will transition with current City Manager Jovan Grogan the week prior.
FISCAL IMPACT: It is anticipated that there will be no additional impact on the adopted budget of the City Manager’s Office for this action, as the total cost for the Interim City Manager position is proposed to be nearly equivalent to the current budgeted cost for a fully benefited permanent City Manager. The proposed employment agreement with Alex D. McIntyre provides for a monthly salary of $25,000, plus a $422 per month opt-out benefit payment option, a monthly auto allowance of $300, and other standard employee benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact.
RECOMMENDATION: If the City Council wants to hire Alex D. McIntyre as the Interim City Manager, approve the resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO
EXECUTE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO AND ALEX D. MCINTYRE”
ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the employment agreement and direct staff to pursue other potential candidates.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Peter Gilli, Community and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Hold Public Hearing and 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 San Bruno Municipal Code by Amending Section 12.300.070 to Limit Commercial Cannabis Retail Sales (Storefront Sales) to the Transit Corridors Plan Area MX-R, TOD-1, TOD-2, and PD Zones, Reduce the Number of Commercial Cannabis Retail Sales Permits From Three to One, Allow a Maximum of Two Cannabis Distribution Facility Permits in the M-1 Zone North of San Bruno Avenue and East of El Camino Real, and Deleting Section
4.70.070 and Making a Finding of Exemption Under the California Environmental Quality Act
BACKGROUND:
On October 11, 2022, the City Council adopted two Ordinances collectively referred to as the City’s Commercial Cannabis Regulations:
1. Ordinance No. 1930 amended the City Zoning Code to add a new chapter to permit and regulate commercial cannabis retailers (storefront sales) and commercial cannabis distribution facilities; and
2. Ordinance No. 1931 included various Municipal Code Amendments to regulate cannabis operations, including the addition of new Chapter 4.70 to define the Commercial Cannabis Operator’s Permit process.
These ordinances were effective on November 10, 2022.
At the City Council meetings on January 10, 2023, and January 24, 2023, the City Council directed staff to bring the matter back the City Council to consider potential changes to the City’s Commercial Cannabis Regulations. Two specific changes were suggested for consideration by the City Council:
1. To reduce the total number of allowed commercial cannabis businesses from a maximum of four to a maximum of two, with one being for distribution use only, and the second being retail and/or distribution; and
2. To remove the downtown (Central Business District) and The Shops at Tanforan from 104 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
permitted locations for commercial cannabis retail operations.
At the January 24, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council affirmed this direction and requested that staff prepare the necessary ordinance amendments for the required Planning Commission and City Council hearings.
In response to the City Council’s request for reconsideration of the adopted commercial cannabis operations program, staff suspended the application period that was scheduled to end on January 17, 2023. No applications were submitted. Staff proposes to reopen the application period promptly after the ordinance amendments become effective, if adopted by the City Council.
Planning Commission Review and Recommendation
The zoning code amendments were considered by the Planning Commission on February 21, 2023. Commissioners noted the Planning Commission originally supported a greater number of businesses than the existing ordinance allows. In addition, Commissioners believed concerns about potential locations in Downtown could be addressed through the operator’s permit and use permit process, both of which require City Council final approval. In general, the Commission affirmed their support for the existing ordinance, and noted that the number and location of cannabis businesses can be limited by the City Council through the operator’s permit process. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 6-1-0-0 to recommend that the City Council not adopt the Ordinance to amend the existing ordinance to reduce the number of Commercial Cannabis Retailers (Storefront Sales) and Cannabis Distribution Facilities. On March 21, 2023, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 2023-06 (Attachment 2) on a 7-0-0-0 vote.
DISCUSSION:
Synopsis of Adopted Commercial Cannabis Regulations
The adopted cannabis regulations allow up to three Cannabis Retailers (previously termed “dispensaries”) to locate only in the zoning districts in downtown, along major transportation corridors El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue, as well as San Mateo Avenue, and The Shops at Tanforan) where there is a mix of commercial and office uses.
One Cannabis Distribution Facility is permitted only in the M-1 (Industrial) Zone north of San Bruno Avenue.
Cannabis operations cannot locate within 600 feet of specified “sensitive uses,” including:
• Youth Centers (defined as any public or private facility that is primarily used to host recreational or social activities for minors).
• Daycare Centers (defined as a childcare center, other than home-based day care operations, and includes licensed childcare centers).
• Schools (defined as K-12 public or private schools).
• Public Libraries
105 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
There are no other types of commercial cannabis operations permitted; all of the following uses are currently and would continue to be prohibited by the City:
• No commercial cannabis cultivation. This use involves the commercial planting, growing, harvesting, drying, grading and trimming of cannabis, and can occur indoors or outdoors, including in a nursery setting.
• No commercial cannabis manufacturing, including CBD (cannabidiol) extract derived from cannabis. This use involves subjecting cannabis to a process which concentrates cannabis into an edible or topical product.
• No commercial cannabis testing/laboratories. This use involves state-mandated testing of cannabis products in a state-licensed laboratory setting prior to distribution and sale. • No cannabis microbusinesses. This is a business involved in at least three types of commercial cannabis activities, including retail sale, cultivation, distribution and/or manufacturing.
• No temporary cannabis events. This is an event where cannabis may be consumed over a short period of time and at a temporary event location. • No “cannabis cafes” for onsite consumption of cannabis products.
Commercial Cannabis Operations for cannabis retailers or cannabis distribution facilities require both a Commercial Cannabis Operators Permit (CCOP) and a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), each approved by the City Council.
Summary of Proposed Changes
The attached draft ordinance makes the following two changes to Chapter 12.300:
1. Reduce the total number of allowed businesses from a maximum of four to a maximum of two, with one being for distribution use only, and the second being retail and/or distribution; and
2. Remove the downtown (Central Business District) and The Shops at Tanforan from permitted locations for commercial cannabis operations.
Attachment 3 is a map that shows the draft ordinance boundary changes. In addition to the changes shown above, the ordinance would delete Section 4.70.070 (Maximum Number of Authorized Cannabis Operators Permitted) of Chapter 4.70 (Commercial Cannabis Operator Permit) of Title 4 (Licenses and Regulations) of the San Bruno Municipal Code because the number of businesses is already specified in Chapter 12.300.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact from the introduction of the Ordinance. If the Ordinance is adopted and the number of commercial cannabis operations in the City reduced, it would have an undetermined net negative fiscal impact due to the reduced tax revenues as compared to the tax revenues to be received from the current Commercial Cannabis Regulations. 106 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The proposed ordinance could not result in a significant environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and as such are exempt from further environmental consideration per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce an Ordinance of the City of San Bruno amending Article III (zoning) of Title 12 (land use) of the San Bruno Municipal Code by amending Section 12.300.070 to limit commercial cannabis retail sales (storefront sales) to the transit corridors plan area MX-R, TOD-1, TOD-2, and PD zones, reduce the number of commercial cannabis retail sales permits from three to one, allow a maximum of two cannabis distribution facility permits in the M-1 zone and north of San Bruno Avenue and east of El Camino Real, and deleting Section 4.70.070.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can choose to introduce the ordinance with changes.
2. The City Council can choose to not introduce the ordinance. This alternative means that the existing Commercial Cannabis Regulations would remain the same as they are now.

6. The existing cannabis ordinance will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the Citizens of San Bruno.
WHEREAS, commercial cannabis regulations do not have the potential for creation of a significant environmental impact pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and as such are exempt from further environmental consideration per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The commercial cannabis program involves relatively minor amendments to the Municipal Code to provide for a limited number of commercial cannabis retailers and/or distribution uses (two maximum), with such potential uses focused on portions of San Bruno Avenue and El Camino Real, where a wide range of retail uses are already permitted. Further, the anticipated location of such uses within existing buildings or lease spaces, combined with the regulatory requirements for commercial cannabis operations imposed by the city as part of the cannabis program, would not have the potential for creation of any potentially significant environmental impacts. Each individual commercial cannabis project would be subject to submittal of a Commercial Cannabis Operators Permit and Conditional Use Permit and would also be subject to potential environmental review; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of San Bruno, recommends to the City Council to not adopt the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance amending Section 12.300.070, Development Standards, and deleting Section 04.70.070, Maximum Number of Authorized Cannabis Operators Permitted.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Based on the facts in the Staff Report, written and oral testimony, and exhibits presented, the City Council hereby makes the following findings of facts in support of the proposed Municipal Code amendments regarding establishment of commercial cannabis storefront sales and distribution operations:
1. The zoning code amendments were considered by the San Bruno Planning Commission on February 21, 2023 at a duly noticed public hearing. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2023-XX- recommending that the City Council adopt the zoning code amendments modifying the zones in which commercial cannabis storefront sales and cannabis distribution facilities are conditionally permitted uses.
2. A notice of public hearing was duly posted for consideration of this proposed ordinance at the City of San Bruno City Council meeting of _____________, 2023, and on said date, the public hearing was opened, held and closed.
3. The proposed ordinance is consistent with the General Plan of the City of San Bruno, including the following goals and policies:
LUD-A: Promote development of El Camino Real as a boulevard with a series of “districts”, with distinctive uses weaved together with unified streetscape, sidewalk improvements, and pedestrian amenities. Encourage residential development to promote walkability and transit use.
The allowance for cannabis sales or distribution in vacant buildings on El Camino Real will allow for new distinctive uses that will support existing commercial businesses along the corridor, allowing for the future creation of districts along El Camino Real.
LUD-C: Stimulate reuse and intensification with multi-use, transit-oriented development along El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue. Provide amenities serving pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders along these corridors.
The allowance for the reuse of buildings on El Camino Real and San Bruno Avenue by allowing cannabis sales or distribution will serve to stimulate business activity along these corrridors.
LUD-54: Support infill development in northern Montgomery Avenue area (east of the DocuSign Envelope ID: 907B5128-531A-4451-821C-DF5A213F33B7 116 of 141
Caltrain Tracks) with business and industrial uses, while permitting a broader mix of uses.
Capitalize on regional access through the BART and Caltrain systems to market office and industrial space to Bay Area businesses.
The allowance for cannabis distribution use in the M-1 zone, which includes Montgomery Avenue, adds a new use to the zone which is consistent with the goal of permitting a broader mix of uses.
ED-B: Provide development opportunities that allow for establishment of jobs within San Bruno, commensurate with local residents’ education and skills.
The allowance of cannabis uses will provide for additional local jobs within San Bruno.
4. The proposed ordinance has been reviewed according to the standards and requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the San Bruno environmental review procedures and is determined to be exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
5. The proposed ordinance to establish provisions for commercial cannabis storefront sales and distribution uses will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare of the Citizens of San Bruno.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Matthew Lee, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consider Adopting a Resolution Allocating an Additional $1,500,000 From San Bruno Community Foundation (SBCF) Fund to the Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC) Project Contingency Funds; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the SBCF Grant Fund Agreement to Increase the Not-To-Exceed Grant Fund From $50,000,000 to $51,500,000; Authorizing the Transfer of $250,000 From the Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project (Project #51022) to the RAC Project; and Approving the Project Budget Increase of $1,750,000 to Adjust the Total Project Budget From $60,540,228 to $62,290,228 BACKGROUND:
The construction of the City of San Bruno’s (City) new Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC) is approximately 55% complete and projected to be completed by late fall of 2023. The completed work to date includes:
1. Creek realignment and enlargement improvements, City Parkway realignment and installation of the new water and sewer main.
2. Building’s main structural framing system including seismic bracing.
3. Completed 1st and 2nd floor concrete floor including pool deck areas.
4. Completed most of the interior framing and working on the exterior framing while completing mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork.
5. Completed indoor pool plumbing system in preparation for the pool shell construction.
Once constructed, the new RAC building will be a two-story, 49,500 square foot facility replacing the former Veterans Memorial Recreation Center located at 251 City Park Way. The new facility will operate as the City’s aquatic, recreation, and community center with a maximum occupancy of 2,400 people and will include an indoor/outdoor pool, multi-use gymnasium, indoor elevated track, community hall, conference rooms, multi-function rooms, classrooms, and staff offices.
Attachment 2 provides a funding and budget timeline of previous Council Actions for the RAC. 122 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
DISCUSSION:
The RAC project originally had a construction contingency amount of $4,687,046, which constitutes approximately 10.9% of the construction contract amount. The typical construction contingency for a project of the magnitude of the RAC project is 10% to 15%.
At the February 8, 2022, City Council meeting, the City approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to appropriate a not-to-exceed amount of $1,039,456 from the construction contingency to fund the project’s design and support costs. The project did not previously earmark any project contingency for the project’s soft costs. This reduced the construction contingency from the original $4,687,046 to $3,647,590.
Subsequently, on January 24, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution to transfer $201,600.00 from the construction contingency to fund the tree removal on Crystal Springs that had been designated as an "extra hazardous fire condition" by the City of San Bruno Fire Chief and Fire Marshal. The RAC’s construction contingency was further reduced to $3,445,990. These two actions brought the contingency to approximately 8% of the original construction amount, below the typical 10% construction contingency for a project of the magnitude of the RAC project.
Staff is recommending replenishing the current construction contingency with San Bruno Community Foundation (SBCF) funds in the amount of $1,500,000, increasing the total construction contingency to $4,945,990, which equals 11.5% of the construction contract, and supplementing the funds that were previously transferred to soft costs. This will increase the total SBCF fund commitment to the City for this project to $51,500.000. The SBCF grant agreement will provide the City with reimbursement of related project expenses up to the allocated amount.
With approximately $15,000,000 worth of work left to complete all the projected change order work, the forecasted $605,400.75 construction contingency balance (approximately 4% of the remaining work) is considered low moving towards project completion. Typically, it is best practice to have 10% to 15% contingency for the remaining work to ensure there is adequate funding for any unforeseen work to avoid schedule delays and increased project costs.
Increasing the construction contingency amount by $1,500,000 will ensure that the project has a healthy contingency of 14% for the remaining work. The amounts described above are summarized in Table 1 below.

Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC) Program Funding Sources, Budget, And Expenditures Attachment 3 lists the funding sources for the project and Attachment 4 lists the project expenditures in relation to those funding sources. The two tables highlight that the SBCF grant fund covers $50,000,000 of the Initial Adopted Project Components of $54,408,363 and the balance of $4,408,363 is funded by City Funds. Other connected project components such as the Water/Sewer Replacement projects ($1,520,000) are funded through the City’s Water/Sewer Enterprise Funds. Currently City Funds are used to fund contingency for this project. There are currently no SBCF funds used to fund other additional scope added after the initial project adoption, such as the Desoto Sidewalk Enhancements and the Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project.
Approved Change Orders
Approved change orders are changes to the contract that have been reviewed, approved and included in the contract and are necessary to construct the RAC building. The total cost of approved change orders to date is approximately $2,095,715 (see Attachment 5). The majority of the costs are from Design Discrepancy Resolution (DDR) and Unknown and Unforeseen (UU) circumstances: $943,087.70 are changes to the structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system, necessary to meet the latest code requirements, and maintainability of the facility in the future, and $436,861.01 are from the disposal of unsuitable soil from the roadway, utility, and creek construction to a special handling disposal site. The rest of the approved change orders are due to public safety and convenience, owner request, and value engineering.
The current approved change orders, totaling $2,095,715, are summarized by category type in Chart 1 below.

March 28, 2023
Chart 1: Approved Change Orders
Potential Change Orders
Staff are currently tracking an estimated cost of potential change orders in the amount of $1,018,922 (see Attachment 6). The potential change orders include an estimated amount of $618,922 for the DDR category, which include changes to structural, mechanical, and architectural elements. There is also an estimated $400,000 of UU category changes which include the disposal of additional contaminated soil that is currently being reviewed for approval.
These potential change orders are expected to be completed by July 2023.
Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project
The Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving improvements was a project previously identified as an ancillary project to the RAC. This was due to Beckner Shelter Road work being complementary to the RAC project which includes sidewalk access from the Lara Parking Lot, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible bridge to the pool parking lot and rehabilitation to Beckner Shelter. The proximity of the paving for this effort is directly adjacent to the RAC project and there would be mobilization cost savings for paving. Shifting project funds from the Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project (Project #51022) would allow the work to be completed as part of the project. No SBCF Funds are utilized as part of this project.
Budget Update
The project is currently operating with the following City Council approved budget:
Construction Cost $43,031,000
Project’s Soft Cost $14,063,238
Construction Contingency $ 3,445,990
Approved Budget $60,540,228
With the requested additional SBCF funds of $1,500,000 and the transfer of $250,000 from the General Fund Capital Reserve, the proposed new budget for the RAC project will be $62,290,228.

Approved Budget $60,540,228
Additional SBCF Funds $ 1,500,000
CIP Funds Transfer $ 250,000
Proposed New Budget $62,290,228
FISCAL IMPACT:
The additional funds request of $1,750,000 will be funded from the available SBCF funds in the amount of $1,500,000 and the $250,000 fund transfer from the General Fund Capital Reserve.
See Attachments 3 and 4 for the Project Cost and Budget Summary.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact with this additional contingency funding request. On May 19, 2020, the Planning Commission certified the project Final Environmental Impact Report and adopted CEQA Findings and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to allow for the project. The Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project falls within the Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines, Section 15301(c), which exempts the improvement and minor modifications of certain existing facilities such existing highways and streets, sidewalks, pedestrian trails and similar facilities.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Adopting a Resolution Allocating an Additional $1,500,000 From San Bruno Community Foundation (SBCF) Fund to the Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC) Project Contingency Funds; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Amendment to the SBCF Grant Fund Agreement to Increase the Not-To-Exceed Grant Fund From $50,000,000 to $51,500,000; Authorizing the Transfer of $250,000 From the Beckner Shelter Road and Parking Lot Repaving Project (Project #51022) to the RAC Project; and Approving the Project Budget Increase of $1,750,000 to Adjust the Total Project Budget From $60,540,228 to $62,290,228 ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not authorize the appropriations of funds from San Bruno Community Foundation and staff to request funds when needed.
2. Do not authorize the increase of the project contingency funds and the project may not have the funds for any major unforeseen changes and may result in project schedule delays, reduced scope of work, and increased project cost.
3. Do not authorize the increase of the project contingency funds and the current project contingency balance will remain low (4% of the remaining work) and may potentially reduce the project scope of work to keep the project within budget.

Attachment #2: Council Action Background
• On June 8, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the FY2021-22 Budget that includes an overall $50 million commitment to the City for the Recreation and Aquatic Center (RAC) funded by eight grants from the San Bruno Community Foundation (SBCF) supporting different components of the project. Also, the City Council adopted a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Lathrop Construction, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $43,031,000.00 and approving a construction contingency of $4,687,046.00 (10.9% of construction contract).
• On February 8, 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution to increase the budget by $560,000.00. Sources of the budget increase were from the Water Fund ($346,000.00), Sewer Fund ($104,000.00) and Park-In-Lieu Fund ($110,000.00), which resulted in increasing the total project budget from $59,980,228.00 to $60,540,228.00. The resolution additionally authorized the City Manager to appropriate a not-to-exceed amount of $1,039,456.00 from construction contingency to fund the project’s soft costs. This reduced the construction contingency from $4,687,046.00 to $3,647,590.00 (8.5% of the original construction contract amount).
• Additionally, on February 8, 2022, the City Council approved the appropriations of $136,000.00 from the Water Fund and $104,000.00 from the Sewer Fund for a temporary water bypass line deemed necessary after the commencement of construction due to its current alignment west of the former and new RAC facility. The City Council also approved the appropriation of $110,00.00 from the Park In-Lieu Fund appropriation to fund the sidewalk and pedestrian improvements at Desoto Road to provide permanent pedestrian improvements.
• On January 24, 2023, the City Council adopted a resolution to transfer $201,600.00 from the construction contingency to fund the tree removal on Crystal Springs that had been designated as an "extra hazardous fire condition" by the City of San Bruno Fire Chief and Fire Marshal. The RAC’s construction contingency was reduced to $3,445,990.00 (8.0% of the original construction contract amount).
• On March 15, 2023, there was a presentation made to the Recreation Aquatic Center Advisory Committee on the status of the project discussing the additional contingency need and the future action by City Council to request for additional funds from the San Bruno Community Foundation.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report
CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE: March 28, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jovan D. Grogan, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Ann Mottola, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Two Resolutions to:
(1) Restore Funding for the Florida Avenue Park Construction CIP Project Through an Appropriation of $2,000,000 From the Development Impact Fees - Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount
(2) Appropriate $51,409 for the Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation CIP Project; and Approve an Appropriation Adjustment to the FY 2022-23 Community Services Parks Division Budget in the Amount of $91,520 for the City Park Tennis Courts Resurfacing Project, and Fund Both Projects From the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund BACKGROUND:
In the 2022-23 CIP budget, several projects were funded or proposed to be funded by the Park In Lieu Fund. Several projects (including the Florida Avenue Park Development Project and the Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation Project) were subsequently defunded due to a refund of developer fees, leaving the Park In-lieu Fund depleted.
As a result of increased general revenues and economic development activity, the City currently has sufficient funds in its Development Impact Fee accounts and the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund to restore funding to the Florida Avenue Park Development Project and the Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation Project. Additionally, staff and tennis court users have noted that the City‘s tennis courts in City Park require maintenance/resurfacing. This staff report recommends the appropriation of funds to embark on the aforementioned projects.
DISCUSSION:
Florida Avenue Park
In October 2014, City Council authorized the purchase of 324 Florida Avenue for use as a neighborhood park. Work began in 2016 with remediation of the site and a community engagement process to engage local residents in the design of the future park.
The park design was completed in Fall 2017 and the project was bid for construction; however, the construction of the park was placed on hold due to an appeal of the project design.
Following a settlement with Friends of Florida Park in Fall 2019, Staff worked with the landscape design firm MIG to finalize a new park design. This revised design was approved by City 134 of 141
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
March 28, 2023
Council at their September 24, 2019, meeting.
On May 26, 2020, Council adopted resolution 2020-36 authorizing a restart of the Florida Avenue Park project with MIG. Included in this scope was the development of construction documents that would serve to position the project as more competitive in future grant processes.
City Staff has applied for two grants through the Prop 68 Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program to fund this park development but was unsuccessful in both attempts. The last round of grants through this source has been completed.
Staff submitted this project in the 2022-23 CIP budget to be funded through the Park In-lieu Fund. The project, however, remains unfunded as those funds are no longer available due to reimbursement of developer fees to an applicant that withdrew a project. The estimated cost of construction of the park is $2,000,000. Staff is recommending an appropriation from Development Impact Fees - Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount. This is appropriate, as the Community Facilities Impact portion of the City’s Development Impact Fees is designated for the significantly expansion or creation of new park/recreation facilities and other related facilities (e.g. parks corporation yard, library, etc.).
Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation Project
This park site is part of a multi-year project to upgrade park pathways as part of the ADA Transition Plan. This is the final pathway in the park system that has been identified as needing rehabilitation. In previous years San Bruno City Park, Commodore Park, and Grundy Park pathways have been rehabilitated.
The rehabilitation of the Pacific Heights Park will require the removal of existing asphalt and repaving in many locations, crack-fill and sealing, and the application of a slurry finish to the pathway surface to prevent further deterioration from water intrusion.
Staff submitted this project for funding through the Prop 68 Per Capita Grant Program and was awarded $205,635. This project requires a match of 20% of the total project cost in the amount of $51,409. Staff submitted the matching funds for this project in the 2022-23 CIP budget to be funded through the Park In-lieu Fund. The matching funds remain unfunded as those funds are no longer available due to reimbursement of developer fees to an applicant that withdrew a project. Staff is recommending an appropriation from the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund for this project.
City Park Tennis Courts Resurfacing
The four tennis courts located at City Park are the only City-owned tennis courts and are in need of resurfacing. It has been over ten years since the last resurfacing. As a result, the courts are cracking, fading, and becoming slippery for players even in dry conditions.
The project will include a complete leveling, crack repair, resurfacing, and painting of the courts.
Layout and striping will be included for the four tennis courts with two 2 pickleball courts on two of the tennis courts using the same nets. The existing net posts will also be repainted with black enamel paint. This resurfacing will last for approximately 8 years and be a great benefit to our local tennis community who use our courts frequently. As these are the only tennis courts in the 135 of 141

area and the playing surface has become significantly degraded, Staff is recommending an appropriation from the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund for this project. The estimated cost of this project is $91,520.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost to execute these projects is $2,142,929. Should Council approve this request, the projects will be funded from the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund and the Development Impact Fees (DIF) - Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount.
Project Project Budget Proposed Funding Source
Florida Avenue Park Construction $2,000,000 DIF Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount
Pacific Heights Pathways Rehabilitation $51,409 General Fund Capital Reserve City Park Tennis Courts Resurfacing $91,520 General Fund Capital Reserve Total Projects Cost $2,142,929
Prior to the recommended appropriation, the ending balance at June 30, 2023 in the DIF Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount is projected to be $6.8M. An appropriation of $2M for the Florida Park Project will decrease the projected ending balance to $4.8M.
Prior to the recommended appropriation, the ending balance at June 30, 2023 in the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund is projected to be $27.9M. A combined appropriation of $142,929 for the Florida Avenue Park Development Project and the Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation Project will decrease the projected ending balance to approximately $27.75M.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “Project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adoption of two resolutions to:
(1) Restore Funding for the Florida Avenue Park Construction CIP Project Through an Appropriation of $2,000,000 from the Development Impact Fees - Community Facilities Impact Fees Subaccount
(2) Appropriate $51,409 for the Pacific Heights Park Pathways Rehabilitation CIP Project; and Approve an Appropriation Adjustment to the FY 2022-23 Community Services Parks Division Budget in the Amount of $91,520 for the City Park Tennis Courts Resurfacing Project, and Fund Both Projects from the General Fund Capital Reserve Fund 136 of 141
