WAIVER OF READING

OF ORDINANCES
State law requires that an ordinance be read in its entirety prior to adoption unless the City Council waives reading beyond the title. Reading an entire ordinance at the meeting is extremely time-consuming; reading of the title alone usually gives the audience sufficient understanding of what the Council is considering.

To ensure that this waiver is consistently approved by the Council, Council should make the waiver at each meeting, thus, you should do it at this point on the Consent Agenda. The Council then does not have to worry about making this motion when each ordinance comes up on the agenda.

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AND READ BY TITLE ONLY,

WAIVING FURTHER READING, TO AMEND
SECTIONS 2-1-105 AND 2-2-115(B) OF THE SAN JUAN

BAUTISTA MUNICIPAL CODE TO VEST THE

AUTHORITY IN THE CITY MANAGER TO APPOINT
THE CITY CLERK. (Second Reading)
MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT HEADS: CITY MANAGER/CITY ATTORNEY

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Read by title only, waiving further reading, and an Adopt Ordinance Amending Sections 2-1-105 and 2-2-115 (b) of the San Juan Bautista Municipal Code to vest authority in the City Manager to appoint, supervise and exercise authority over the City Clerk.

BACKGROUND:

At the City Council regular meeting on December 20, 2022, the Council directed that an ordinance be brought for consideration of introduction and adoption (at a second reading) which would delegate to and vest authority in the City Manager to appoint, supervise, and exercise authority over the City Clerk.

The City Clerk is established as one of the statutory officers specified by state law for general law cities such as San Juan Bautista, which has a Council-City Manager form of government (Government Code Section 34851). Since incorporation on May 4, 1896, the City Clerk position has been an elected position and in accordance with the Municipal Code the City Clerk is a department head. In order to hold the elective office of City Clerk the person elected had to be at least 18 years old, a resident and a voter in the City.

The duties, responsibilities and requirements of the city clerk position have changed and evolved significantly over the years and now regularly include duties under the Ralph M. Brown Act, the Public Records Act, the Political Reform Act and acting as the City’s Election Official to assure compliance with California election laws and regulations. As the duties and responsibilities of the city clerk position have increased, the professional expertise required to fulfill the position has also increased and most elected City Clerks in California have been replaced by an appointed City Clerk with appropriate training and experience who typically performs both City Clerk and other Item: 4.E
City Council Meeting

Page | 2
city staff duties. The last elected City Clerk, Ms. Shawna Freels, was elected at the November 3, 2020, general municipal election and Mr. Freels resigned from that position on January 23, 2022, and the position has remained vacant since that time.

DISCUSSION
Government Code Section 36509 provides authority to the City Council to place the question of whether the City Clerk should be an appointed position on the ballot. The Council did just that for the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election and the City’s voters approved Measure W with 57.81% of the vote to make the office of City Clerk an appointive office by the City Council (455 votes in favor, 332 votes opposed). The elective office of City Clerk was also on the same ballot for the November 8, 2022 election as the measure asking whether the voters wished to make the office appointive, however, no person was elected to that office by that election and accordingly a vacancy continues to exist in the office of City Clerk. Therefore the power to appoint the City Clerk is now vested in the City Council. Appointed officers are not required to be either residents or electors of the City (Government Code Section 36510).

Government Code Section 34856 provides when the office of City Clerk is made appointive the City Council may by ordinance vest the authority to make that appointment in the City Manager.

The ordinance attached as Exhibit A makes the required changes to the Municipal Code to include appointing and exercising authority over the City Clerk a part of the City Manager’s duties as the Chief Executive Officer of a general law city with a Council-Manager form of governance.

A person appointed by the City Manager to serve as City Clerk would be required, under the City Manager’s supervision, to perform all the duties of the City Clerk set forth in Article 2 of Chapter 2-3 of the Municipal Code and the historic duties of a city clerk set forth in Government Code Sections 40801 through 40814.

RECOMMENDATION:

At this time, it is recommended that the City Council (1) Discuss, consider public comment and consider a motion to Adopt the Ordinance attached as Exhibit A.

-o0oWHEREAS, pursuant to Section 18941.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, the City may adopt the provisions of the California Fire Code with certain exceptions, modifications and additions to provisions of the Code which are reasonably necessary to protect the health, welfare and safety of the citizens of San Juan Bautista because of local climatic, geological and topographical conditions; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has considered whether certain modifications to the California Fire Code standards set forth herein are necessary in the City of San Juan Bautista due to local climatic, geological or topographical conditions; and.

WHEREAS, the factual findings made are valid and relate to the amendments made to the California Fire Code in this adoption; and
WHEREAS, the City Council directed that a public hearing be held and duly noticed and published in accordance with California Government Code §50022.3, and said hearing was held on February 21, 2023, concerning the purpose of this Ordinance to adopt the 2022 California Fire Code with modifications to address unique local conditions; and

WHEREAS, this Ordinance was found to be categorically exempt from environmental review, per the provisions of Section 15061(b) (3) of the Guidelines to the California Environmental Quality Act.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

1. Section 5-1-100 of Chapter 5-1-“Amended by reference” Amended: Section 5-1-100 of Chapter 5-1 entitled “Adoption by reference” is hereby amended to read as follows:
“5-1-100 Adoption by reference.

The California Fire Code, 2022 Edition including Appendices Title 24, Part 9, published by the California Building Standards Commission, and as modified by the amendments, additions set forth hereinafter, is adopted by reference, in accordance with the following findings, as the Fire Code of the City of San Juan Bautista.

Page | 2
(A) Climate. The city, on average, experiences an approximate annual rainfall of eighteen inches. The heaviest months for rainfall can be expected between January and April. During winter months, the city may experience periods of heavy rain, which can cause local flooding.

Due to the proximity of the Pacific Ocean, winter storms are often accompanied by high winds, which have uprooted trees and damaged power lines. The city has also experienced periods of heavy fog, which has delayed the responding fire apparatus and prevented early discovery of structure fires. Light to gusty winds occur during dry periods which, when coupled with highly flammable vegetation, can cause uncontrollable fires. With increased development spreading into brush covered coastal hill areas, wind driven fires could have severe consequences, as have been demonstrated on several occasions throughout the state. (B) Geologic. The city is susceptible to seismic hazards resulting from movement along any one of several known faults. The most serious direct earthquake hazard threat is from the damage or collapse of buildings and other structures due to ground movement. In addition to damage caused by earthquakes, there is the possibility of earthquake-induced fires starting because of damage to gas lines, power lines or heat-producing appliances and the unavailability to water for fire control due to broken water mains. In the event of a major earthquake many areas of the city may not be accessible to emergency equipment and, if bridges or roads are damaged, the city may be isolated from outside assistance.
(C) Topographical. The city is divided by California State Highway 156. The freeway creates barriers which obstruct traffic patterns and delay response time for fire equipment. The water supply within the city is directly affected by the topographical layout. In the event of a major catastrophe.
(D) Conclusion. Local climatic, geologic and topographical conditions impact fire suppression efforts and the frequency, spread, intensity and size of fire involving structures in this community. Further, they impact potential damage to all structures from earthquake and subsequent fire. Therefore, it is found to be necessary that the California Fire Code be amended by this chapter to mitigate the effects of these conditions.

2. Section 5-1-105 of Chapter 5-1 “Amendments – General” Amended. Section 5-1- 105 of Chapter 5.1 entitled “Amendments – General” is hereby amended to read as follows:

CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA AMENDING SECTION 10-1-110 OF THE SAN JUAN

BAUTISTA MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE
ADOPTION OF THE 2022 CALIFORNIA CODES AND

RELATED INTERNATIONAL CODES AND REPEALING
AND REPEALING SECTION 10-1-115
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023
SUBMITTED BY: Minerva Arredondo
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Brian Foucht, Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the City Council Read by Title Only, Waive Full Reading, and ADOPT an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Juan Bautista amending Section 10-1-110 of the San Juan Bautista Municipal Code and Repealing Section 10-1-115 BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The California Building Standards – comprising codes regulating fire electrical, plumbing, and mechanical conditions – are revised on a multi-year cycle. In January 2022, the State adopted and approved the 2022 Edition of the Building Standards Codes, also know as the California Codes.

These Codes were published July 1, 2022 and will become effective January 1, 2023 (and are known as the 2022 Edition of the California Codes. All local jurisdictions in California are mandated to begin enforcement of these new codes and standards by January 1, 2023 Section 10-1-115 UBC Chapter 70 appendix should be repealed. The UBC, published by ICBO, was replaced in 2000 by the new International Building Codes. The International Code Council was a merger of three predecessor organization which published three different building codes.

ICBO, BOCA and SBCCI. The International Code Council publishes the International Building Codes, which became the code the California Building Standards Commission has modeled the California Building Codes.

DISCUSSION:

The model codes are updated every three years. This allows for the codes to improve and adjust to the newest materials, methods of construction and technological advances in the industry. The 2022 California Building Standards Code contains twelve parts that incorporate public health, life safety and general welfare standards used in the design and construction of buildings in California.

Item: 6.B
City Council
February 21, 2023
Page | 2
These parts incorporate the latest national standards in the International Building Code (IBC), Residential and Fire Codes, California Green Building Code, California Energy Code, National Electrical Code, and the Uniform Mechanical and Plumbing codes.

California has adopted statewide, mandatory codes based on the ICC’s Uniform codes. Local jurisdictions may only amend the California Building Code to make it more stringent because of the unique local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions. All local amendments must be filed with the California Building Standards Commission. The 2022 California Building Standards Code will become effective on January 1, 2023 and will apply to the City of San Juan Bautista building permit applications received on or after January 1, 2023. The Ordinance replaces Section 10-1-110-with the updated building standards
In general, the City should adopt the Ordinance as a local municipal code because it is more convenient for the public to access and research. If the Ordinance is not adopted, the California Building Code becomes effective. However, the City of San Juan Bautista Municipal Code will not cite to the correct building standards that must apply to future construction and development projects. This discrepancy between the local ordinance and the state law can create confusion.

If the City is required to bring a code enforcement action, it is simpler and clearer for the legal pleadings to reference a local ordinance. Moreover, the City can file a preliminary motion upon a showing that a defendant has violated a local ordinance. The City could not file such a motion if the Ordinance is not adopted to incorporate the correct building standards into the City of San Juan Bautista Municipal Code
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Juan Bautista Amending Chapter 10-1-110 and repealing 10-1-115 FISCAL IMPACT:

Cost of Purchasing the 2022 Codes approx. $1,500.00

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION
FROM: ROBERT RATHIE, CITY ATTORNEY
BY: ELIZABETH SOTO, CMC, CPMC, DEPUTY CITY CLERK /

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES MANAGER
TITLE: APPOINTMENT OF CITY TREASURER
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

It is recommended that the City Council appoint Michelle Sabathia as City Treasurer.

RECOMMENDATION:

The application period closed on January 31, 2023. The city received one (1) application from former City Treasurer Michelle Sabathia.

The City Manager reviewed applications and recommends the City Council appoint Michelle Sabathia as City Treasurer.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

A vacancy has occurred in the City Treasurer position by virtue of the fact that nobody ran for City Treasurer and the position was therefore not filled at the recent General Election. Pursuant to California Government Code Sec. 36512, subsection (b), if a vacancy occurs in an elective office, the council shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election. A special election, where no one ran, would not seem to accomplish the goal of filling the position. As such, it is assumed that the Council will want to appoint a City Treasurer. It is also noted that under California law, a city must have a Treasurer.

On December 20th I was made aware at the city hall meeting of the upcoming posting for the City Treasurer role. With 10+ years progressive accounting experience, I am confident that I will have a positive impact on the City’s accounting efforts and would like to be considered for this role.

As an evolving professional who strives for precision and accuracy I have been able to demonstrate best accounting practices for each role I have held. Since moving to San Juan Baustista five years ago my husband and I knew we wanted to be more involved in the community. I was able to accomplish this when I was elected as the City Treasurer in 2021, if given the opportunity I would like to continue to serve and help out our community together.

I am very interested in meeting with you to further discuss my credentials and the corresponding benefits that I could offer the city. My resume is enclosed with this letter which will provide you with comprehensive information about my skills, experience and education.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Subsequently, in August 2020, the City Council accepted a State Department of Transportation (CAL TRANS) Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant in the amount of $188,596 (with a match of $24,435, 11.47% of grant funds as City staff support) to develop the San Juan Bautista Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan (ATP).

Discussion
The 2016 General Plan Open Space Element, Section 11, calls for consideration of connectivity between its many historic and recreational assets, and to connect the De Anza Trail and other recreation and transportation resources to the City. The Implementation Matrix in Section 18 of the 2016 General Plan references the need for “complete streets,” and a bike and pedestrian trail system.

The Active Transportation And Community Connectivity Plan will be integrated with other circulation, open space recreation, and land use planning programs within and surrounding San Juan Bautista, the City’s Community Plan and the Third Street Master Plan.

Fiscal Impacts
Grant funding requirements for completion of the Plan are summarized as follows:

1. Introduction
We are pleased to present the San Juan Bautista Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan. Residents, business and property owners, as well as a wide range of key stakeholders at city, county and state-wide levels, informed the development of this actionoriented Plan, meant to be implemented.

This Plan promotes an understanding of San Juan Bautista’s transportation system and identifies how each street can contribute to healthy, active, sustainable lifestyles, powering up the resiliency of the city, building individual and community health, and making possible a just and age-friendly multi-modal transportation system. The much broader role of streets is explained – to connect people and places – and this means all people of all ages and abilities who wish to walk, cycle, or roll. It also details how appropriate design can energize the social life of streets, green the town, and further enhance San Juan Bautista’s uniqueness and beauty, while respecting sites of historical importance.

Fig 1. Plaza Hotel, part of the San Juan Bautista Historic Park, San Juan Bautista San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 5 The public engagement process which
informed the development of the Plan
encouraged input from local, regional,
and state partners who carefully reviewed
concepts for creating safer, more
comfortable, and accessible connections.

Locally, conversations, meetings, and
events, including walking audits, made
clear the community’s desire to preserve
and protect, while moving forward to meet
the transportation needs of today. The
Plan recognizes key assets, allowing the
community to prosper as both a small town
and a regional destination, while reducing
the need for and impact of automobile traffic
within the core of the city.

San Juan Bautista’s streets must safely
accommodate those walking, cycling, scooting
and using mobility aids. They must effectively
manage vehicular traffic, transit and freight
movements. While doing this, streets must
honor the culture, history, size, and scale of
the community, resulting in places where
people want to spend more time. San Juan
Bautista is home to a vibrant community, and
also a popular tourist destination for those
wishing to experience a living history, to shop,
and dine along the magnificent 3rd Street
commercial corridor, or explore hiking and
biking opportunities found just south of the city
along the Anza Trail and elsewhere in the nearby
hills. In all ways, this Plan aims to improve safety,
mobility, and access for all.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 6 ABOUT SAN JUAN BAUTISTA Key Data for San Juan Bautista Established in 1869, the City of San Juan
Bautista is known as the City of History.

However, San Juan Bautista’s history goes
much further back – to the period of Mexican
independence in 1821, back further to the
founding of the Mission San Juan Bautista
in the late 1700’s, and significantly further as
home to the Amah Mutsun tribe for many
generations prior to the arrival of Europeans.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 7 Conditions in San Juan Bautista are ideal for
cycling and walking. A great climate, mostlylevel terrain, and a total land area of less than a square mile, make it possible to access any
part of the community though a short stroll
or bicycle ride. Additionally, the community is
near numerous open space opportunities and
less than nine miles from the City of Hollister,
making a commute by bicycle possible in
under an hour – if safe and convenient facilities
are put into place. Certainly, there are no
shortage of opportunities to power up active
transportation in San Juan Bautista. This Plan
aims to guide the community as it rolls up
its sleeves and identifies built environment
investments that align with its values.
• Identifying pedestrian and bicycle linkages
with a sound implementation strategy
which balances near- to long-term project
opportunities.
• Ensuring alignment with other proposed
projects that impact active transportation,
including SR-156 following construction of
the bypass, for example.
• Creating a bespoke toolbox of active
transportation guidelines and treatments
to encourage good practices.
• Developing a summary of active
transportation funding opportunities.

Co-created with community partners, this Plan provides a prioritized list of projects and potential funding sources to begin implementation through maintenance and capital projects, as well as through grant opportunities.

A vibrant history is written into the
landscape, as well. San Juan Bautista rests
upon the San Andreas Fault with the Alquist
Priolo Fault Zone running southeast to
northwest along the city’s edge, tracing
the route of the Anza Trail. This unique
sense of place informs community identity,
while creating a memorable experience
for visitors. The development of this Active
Transportation and Community Connectivity
Plan also recognizes the uniqueness of place
and aims to build upon key assets so that
the community continues to prosper as both
a small town and a regional destination, with
reduced need for cars in its core areas.

Funded through a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant and in partnership with the City of San Juan Bautista, CivicWell and Blue Zones led an engaged planning approach, details of which are outlined in Section 4. This Plan aims to address a variety of sustainability and livability objectives, including:

PLAN OBJECTIVES
• Delivering a comprehensive understanding
of pedestrian and bicyclist needs and issues
for residents of all ages and abilities.
• A multi-modal approach to prioritizing areas
for pedestrian and bicycle improvement
based on engaging community stakeholders
and elected officials.
• Developing a multi-modal network to
address community mobility needs,
ensuring opportunities are aligned with
community character and values.
• Evaluating existing conditions of the
pedestrian and bicycle network, identifying
gaps and opportunities.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 8 PLANNING CONTEXT
This Plan is aligned with the policy and planning landscape for San Juan Bautista including:

THE UPDATE TO THE SAN JUAN BAUTISTA 2035 GENERAL PLAN
Concurrent to development of this Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan, the City of San Juan Bautista undertook an update to the 2035 General Plan. The 2035 General Plan and update contain numerous elements and strategies that provide support for the recommendations in this Plan. The Community Mobility Section (3.0) identifies this Plan as the guiding policy and implementation document for active transportation projects and programs in San Juan Bautista (General Plan, Section 3.3, Active Transportation).

Map 2. Preferred Growth Scenario, Non-Motorized Circulation Map, General Plan San Juan Bautista 2035 General Plan
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 9 The Mobility Section (3.0), which addresses community circulation, places specific emphasis on several key areas that are reflected as recommendations in this Plan:
• Complete Streets policy and programs (Objective CI 1.1) • Development of a complete and safe pedestrian network (Objective CI 1.2) • Development of a complete and safe bicycle network (Objective CI 1.3) • Increase safety at The Alameda and SR-156 for all modes (Policy CI 2.1.2) • Parking management program strategies (Programs CI 2.3.1.3; 1.4 1.5) • Develop a bicycle parking plan (Policy 2.3.2)
• Incorporate a wayfinding and signage system (Policy CI 2.4.1) Map 3. San Juan Bautista Existing Land Use

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 10 THE HISTORIC SAN JUAN BAUTISTA PLAN
The Historic San Juan Bautista Plan follows the 1981 Completion Report on the Historic Resources Inventory of the City of San Juan Bautista. The Plan creates a framework for historic preservation and economic development with recommendations for specific projects, policies, and implementation strategies.

The Plan, adopted in 2001, identifies core values for San Juan Bautista that, despite the age of the document, provide solid context for contemporary planning efforts, including this Plan. This includes:
• Maintaining the small-town way of life with slow and strategic growth (identified by a parking boundary)
• Improving damaged and aging infrastructure (curb, gutter, streets and sidewalks) • Sharing the San Juan Bautista story is important
• [San Juan Bautista] be true to thyself
• Preserving the old and guiding the new
• People are the greatest resource
• Stewardship of the land and natural resources
Map 4. Community Design and Preservation Opportunities from the Historic San Juan Bautista Plan
Historic San Juan Bautista Plan
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 11 The plan identifies historic sites and features with an emphasis on preservation and restoration. Some themes related to this Plan include:
• Importance of managing parking in and around the downtown historic district • Design principles for the historic district including a focus on traditional circulation (bicycling and walking)
• Inventory of existing conditions for curbs, sidewalks, and streets.

Map 5. SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement Study Area
SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement Study Area
THE SR-156 MULTI-MODAL ENHANCEMENT STUDY
The San Benito County Governments (COG) received a Caltrans Transportation Planning Grant to prepare a study focused on the SR-156 corridor near San Juan Bautista, specifically seeking to address opportunities to improve non-motorized connections in and around the SR-156 corridor and the scheduled widening of the highway, which is currently being constructed.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 12 This study analyzed and made the case for addressing active transportation mobility needs at four locations:
• SR-156 and Monterey – Recommended
operational changes and reconstruction of the
intersection into a modern roundabout.
• SR-156 and The Alameda – Recommended
adding the missing fourth crosswalk, on
the east leg of the intersection, signal
modifications and restriping to include a bike
lane on The Alameda, and construction of a
shared use path along the eastern edge of The
Alameda through the SR-156 intersection.
• The Alameda between Downtown and Anza
Trailhead – Recommended construction of a
shared use trail along the eastern side of The
Alameda from SR-156 to the Anza Trailhead.
• Future SR-156 Frontage Road –
Recommended construction of a single
walkway and a two-way separated bike path
along the north side of the roadway.

While funding has not been identified for any of these study recommendations, the concepts have been considered in the context of a developing a multi-modal transportation network in and around San Juan Bautista as part of this planning effort. Any recommendation within Caltrans right of way would require additional study, community engagement, and review and approval by Caltrans.

Fig 3. Mission San Juan Bautista
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 13 In addition to the aforementioned plans, a number of other local and regional plans and policies were consulted in development of the Plan and are summarized in the literature review that can be found in the Appendix. These plans and policies include:
• City San Juan Bautista Downtown Central Business District Traffic Analysis Memorandum, 2022 • Caltrans District 5 Active Transportation Plan, 2021
• City of San Juan Bautista Preliminary Downtown Parking Study, 2019 • San Juan Bautista State Historic Park Interpretation Master Plan, 2019 • San Benito Regional Transportation Plan, 2018
• City of San Juan Bautista 2015-2019 Housing Element Adopted • Monterey Bay Area Complete Streets Guidebook, 2013
• San Benito County Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan, 2009 • San Juan Bautista Street Design Standards, 1992
• San Benito County Safe Routes to School – San Juan Elementary Walking and Bicycling Routes Fig 4. Los Padrinos Car & Truck Club de San Juan Bautista San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN San Juan Bautista benefits from a
traditional town form that emphasizes
mixed-use at its core with moderate
density single- and multi-family housing in
developing areas to the north, along San
Juan Highway, and south of SR-156. The
mixture of cultural and public amenities
including parks, the Mission, and natural
features as well as the Anza Trail attract
visitors from across the region to enjoy the
many offerings of the community.

The historic 3rd Street commercial district
offers boutique shopping, diverse dining
experiences for residents and visitors, with
established walking tours that offer an
opportunity to experience the city’s history.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 16 WALKING IN SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
The core of the city is quite walkable despite some sidewalk gaps and a few locations where the age and condition of walkways can be challenging, especially for children, older adults, and those using mobility aids. The walking environment benefits from the relatively low speeds and motor vehicle volumes along the city’s original gridded network. More recent development includes streets designed primarily for vehicles, which could be addressed though updated street design guidelines.

Fig 8. Existing pedestrian conditions in San Juan Bautista San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 17 The most significant enabler for walking,
however, is the opportunity to connect the
downtown core with destinations south of SR156, which is an interregional 55 mph speed, high volume (37,000 AADT) trunk highway
connecting San Juan Bautista to US 101 and
Hollister. Caltrans, in partnership with the San
Benito County Council of Governments (COG),
is currently constructing an expressway corridor
project on SR-156 between Hollister and San
Juan Bautista. The existing highway will be
relinquished to the County of San Benito and
their recommendations, included as part of
the SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement Study,
is for a bicycle and pedestrian connection
between Hollister and San Juan Bautista. The
timeframe for implementation is dependent
on identification of funding for design and
construction. Figure 9 shows the cross section
from the SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement
Study. Given the rural character of this area,
a more traditional shared use path 12 feet to
16 feet wide is recommended to serve both
pedestrians and bicyclists. This change within
Caltrans right of way would require additional
study, community engagement, and review
and approval by Caltrans.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 19 BICYCLING IN SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
San Juan Bautista currently lacks a defined network for bicycling, but there are bicycle lanes – as identified in the 2009 San Benito County Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan – connecting the city to Anzar High School along 1st Street/San Juan Highway, and the soon-to-be-implemented bike lanes along SR-156. These existing and planned facilities provide opportunities for more confident and experienced cyclists but may not offer the level of comfort and safety for the more casual bicycle user.

SBC Intercounty Transit Route Map

TRANSIT IN SAN JUAN BAUTISTA
Trips within San Juan Bautista are, for the most
part, easily accessible by walking or a bicycle ride.

Travel beyond San Juan Bautista to the nearby
communities of Hollister, Gilroy, or further is better
served by automobile or transit. Those who are
unable to drive rely on the regional transit network
for these trips.

The Intercounty Transit Route currently serves
downtown at Abbe Park and Anzar High School,
north of the city, providing daily connections to
Hollister to the east (seven trips daily, Monday to
Friday) and Gavilan College in Gilroy (eight trips
daily, Monday to Friday) to the north. The current
bus stop location at Abbe Park is a ten-to-fifteenminute walk for people living and working within the core of San Juan Bautista. The location,
although adequately accessible, is not centrally
located to the downtown or commercial uses closer
to the intersection of The Alameda and SR-156.

Chapter 6 includes a recommendation to develop
a multi-modal hub north of the intersection of SR156 and The Alameda, that would include adding a stop or relocating the current stop to the new
location.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 23 Based on the findings during the discovery process, existing conditions analysis, and June Charrette, the team identified several key challenges and opportunities that inform the recommendations included in this plan. The following is a summary of these challenges and opportunities by location with reference to the recommendations found in section 6.

SR-156 divides San Juan Bautista,
separating residents and businesses
south of the highway from downtown
and the rest of the city, and making it a
significant obstacle for pedestrians and
bicyclists to cross this intersection to
access shopping and residential areas or
the Anza Trail head without a car. The
SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement Study
includes recommendations for signal
improvements, adding the crosswalk to
the east leg and bike lanes along The
Alameda, but more could be done to
make this crossing safe and convenient
for pedestrians and bicyclists.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN SR-156 at The Alameda
25 Muckelemi Street provides access into San Juan Bautista (and a direct route through town) from SR-156 on the western edge of the city near US 101. The street is two lanes, but over 60’ wide for much of the section from Monterey Street to the 4th Street intersection. Just west of the intersection, this ample street width allows for angled parking for office uses and Abbe Park.

Fig 18. Muckelemi Street at 4th Street, Image 2
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 26 The intersection of 4th Street and The Alameda
is a gateway from SR-156 into downtown
San Juan Bautista. The current width of The
Alameda (48 feet) and its angle with 4th Street
create challenging conditions for bicyclists and
pedestrians at a key crossing point. Based on
recommendations from the 2009 San Benito
Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan, high
visibility crosswalks have been installed at two
crossings at the intersection and an additional
crossing at mid-block on 4th Street, just north
of the intersection, creating a direct crossing
route (with morning and afternoon crossing
guard) for school children coming down 4th
Street and crossing both 4th Street and The
Alameda to walk south to Nyland Drive and the
San Juan School.

Covid-19 pandemic, beginning in early 2020, is the
quick adaptation of 3rd Street in downtown to
accommodate outdoor space for the numerous
small shops and restaurants to remain viable. The
conversion of this street from a two-way main street
to a one-way (northbound only) single lane street
with café parklets and a posted 5 mph speed limit has
opened eyes to the many possibilities of reimagining a
downtown San Juan Bautista designed for people and
activity instead of traffic.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 29 All of these uses are temporary with the permitting renewed on an interim basis, making this the perfect time to evaluate how the temporary configuration is working and identify what things to improve, including managing outdoor space activation with the important historical character of the street. Long-term, there is a need to redevelop standards and consider how permanent changes can be implemented based on the success of the temporary measures.

Muckelemi Street and Monterey Street provide direct access to and from SR-156 on the western edge of the city near US 101. The angle of the intersection and large corner radii result in an intersection that is more than 90’ wide on three of the legs. This location is a second gateway into San Juan Bautista where it is important to transition motorists from high-speed travel to slow, neighborhoodappropriate speeds as they continue down Muckelemi Street into the heart of the city.

These are Class II facilities (striped bicycle lanes) that provide space for bicyclists along the busy roadway. The current facilities serve experienced and confident riders fairly well, but do not provide the safety and separation to attract the less confident and experienced cyclist. Implementing a fully separated bicycle facility, or side-path along San Juan Highway would greatly improve conditions for a wider range of cyclists and likely increase the attractiveness for high school students commuting along the route. 1st Street Bicycle Lanes

opportunities for active transportation in
San Juan Bautista can be seized through the
restoration of the El Camino-Real Trail running
from southwest to northeast through the city
following the fault line. Currently, the section
of trail running from the end of Franklin Street
just south of the Mission to El Camino Real
to the north is popular with local hikers and
bikers, despite not being an official trail.

Fig 34. Anza Trail at San Juan Bautista Mission, Image 3 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 33 Connecting San Juan Bautista across SR-156 is one of the more significant challenges of completing a robust active transportation network. Currently, the Washington Street underpass is the only grade separated connection between the north and south sides of the highway. Unfortunately, there are no connections beyond the immediate neighborhood and the city’s water tower up the hill on Lausen Drive. There are two bridges (one for each direction of travel on SR-156) with narrow width that varies from a 23’ curb-to-wall width (the box tunnel with 4’ sidewalk on the east side) on the north bridge and 34’ curb-to-curb width on the wider south bridge.

of The Alameda and SR-156, along the Old
Stage Coach Road, is the Anza Trail Head,
a popular facility for people looking for a
day hike or bike ride. Currently, there is
no comfortable route for bicyclists and
pedestrians to access the trail head from the
city and most users arrive by car and park
along the driveway leading to the trail head.

More recently, due to the isolation of this
location, a number of cars have been broken
into, leading to the installation of security
cameras to deter this activity.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 36 As the SR-156 project adds a bicycle facility
connecting San Juan Bautista to Hollister
along the SR-156 corridor, an additional
crossing opportunity of SR-156 exists with
exploration of the bridge crossing San Juan
Creek just south of Breen Road (northwest
of the Mission Farm RV Park). The bridge is

feet in height over the San Juan Creek below.

Improvements to this site coupled with a
connection to Nyland Drive and new bike
lanes along SR-156 at this location could
establish a second active transportation
access point from downtown San Juan
Bautista and the San Juan School to newer
residences south of SR-156.

The San Juan Bautista Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan was developed through a robust public process that engaged residents, businesses, cultural and community stakeholders, to improve connections to key destinations and address barriers to walking, cycling and transit use. The project employed a variety of engagement strategies to reach out to and engage stakeholders. Activities were held to provide unique opportunities and times to encourage public participation in the process. This included:
• Project Advisory Group meetings with
residents and other stakeholders
• A project website and an online,
interactive mapping feature
• Initial existing conditions site
assessment
• Community design charrette
• Walking audits
• Bicycling tour
• Pop-ups tables in the city and at the
Mission
• Stakeholder meetings
• Focus group meetings
• Project recommendations workshop
• Draft Plan workshop Fig 43. Discussing a connection between the Mission and San Juan Elementary, June 2022

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 41 Several outreach methods were used to connect with, and engage residents, businesses, and other stakeholders about the project and upcoming events, and to maximize engagement. This included:

Effective Outreach Methods
• Posters to publicize events, produced in
English and Spanish, for community-wide
distribution at City locations and posted at
local businesses within the city.
• Flyers, produced in English and Spanish,
mailed to residents with utility bills.
• Announcements and flyer distribution
through the Project Advisory Group and
other community networks.
• Social media to announce events and
encourage public participation.
• A project website for event
announcements and project updates.
• Links to the active transportation
mapping survey on the City’s website and
advertised on social media and flyers.
• Media releases introducing the project to
the community and announcing events.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 42 Informative Project Website
A project webpage on the City’s website was created
for announcements and to house the project’s
interactive mapping features. This page included
event notifications in English and Spanish, as well
as links to deliverables across the project, and social media channels.

Fig 47. San Juan Bautista Project Website
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 43 Interactive Mapping Feature
An interactive mapping survey was created for the public to identify the challenges they experienced while walking, biking or using transit in San Juan Bautista. The system also allowed for comments so users could offer their ideas on solving issues, as well as identifying specific locations that needed to be addressed. Users could also draw the routes they like to use for walking and bicycling. The map was launched during the June engagement and made available through September 2022.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 44 Engagement Opportunities
Initial Community Site Visit
On March 17 – 18, the project team facilitated
the first Project Advisory Group meeting,
as well as site tours and meetings with
select stakeholders. The field tours provided
an opportunity for team members to get
a firsthand look at the conditions on the
ground via walks and windshield audits of
the community. The Project Advisory Group
kickoff meeting provided the team with an
introduction to key stakeholders, who served
to inform the process and provide valuable
input to the Plan and planning process.

The team also conducted stakeholder
meetings with the San Benito County Council
of Governments and project consultant
TJKM, to discuss the SR-156 Multi-Modal
Enhancement Study, and preliminary findings
and recommendations, as well as meeting
with the State Parks at the Mission, and City
Council members.

Fig 49. The project team engaging a resident during the initial site visit, March 2022 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 45 A multi-day charrette was hosted from June 26–28, 2022. The purpose of the charrette was to spend three immersive days engaging people in various activities to identify opinions and attitudes about key issues and locations the Plan should address, and then develop initial recommendations that reflect the community desire. In consultation with the Project Advisory Group, the team held multiple activities to engage more than 60 residents and stakeholders in the community.

On Sunday, June 26, the team set up two pop-up tables in the early afternoon. Team members set up an information booth on 3rd Street to meet residents and tourists where they walk, shop and dine. A second booth was set up
at the Mission San Juan Bautista, staffed by Spanish
speaking team members, specifically to engage Spanishlanguage speakers. The pop-ups were an opportunity to promote the upcoming charrette events and engaged
people about issues and ideas with large maps on-hand to identify ideas and concerns about specific locations with the project team. Fig 52. Pop-up table interaction

POP-UP TABLES
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN Later in the afternoon of June 26, team members led
participants on a walking tour, starting at Mission San Juan Bautista State Park to discuss the El Camino Real, Earthquake Trail, Anza Trail, and the City’s historic resources. This was also an opportunity for participants and the team to discuss specific walking and bicycling issues to address along the walk and provide a different perspective for discussion from maps. • Stakeholder Meeting with Agencies and Nonprofit Groups: Attendees included City Staff, San Benito County Council of Governments, Caltrans, San Benito Land Trust, State Parks/San Juan Bautista State Historic Park. This was an opportunity to learn about other projects that would affect the Active Transportation Plan and to identify agency based issues and concerns for the team to consider when developing recommendations.
• Focus Group Meeting on Safety: The team met with San Benito County Sheriff and San Juan Bautista Fire departments to discuss current conditions and local knowledge of traffic issues and concerns, while developing an understanding of the needs and concerns for emergency responders in and around San Juan Bautista.

Focus Group Meetings
The team held separate meetings on June 27 to focus on the perspectives of specific stakeholder interests. Those meetings included:

46 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 47 On June 27, the team facilitated a walking assessment of the conditions along Monterey Street to Abbe Park. This was an opportunity to discuss walking conditions on Muckelemi and 4th Streets, and issues around the transit stop and charging stations at Abbe Park. • Focus Group Meeting on Economic Development: Attendees included local business owners, members of the Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee, and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments to discuss concerns and priorities for local businesses and identify how active transportation strategies could align with economic development goals.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 48 The culmination of the Charrette process, a Community Design Workshop, was held on June 27 at the local VFW Hall. At the beginning of the workshop, the team asked participants to write down their visions for the San Juan Bautista community over the next 20 years. Participants then had the opportunity to share those visions with the rest of the group. CivicWell and Blue Zones then did a short presentation to highlight the existing conditions of the area and the various tools and strategies for improving active transportation and overall community connectivity.

After the presentation, large aerial maps
were laid out on the tables, and participants
were asked to break into groups to discuss
issues, ideas and concerns related to walking,
bicycling, other modes of transit, and
connections to trails. Each table assigned a
note-taker and person to report out, and they
were then encouraged to provide their ideas
and suggestions for active transportation
projects that should happen within the city
and to other major destinations.

After adequate time for discussion and
recording notes on the map, each group was
asked to briefly summarize the conversation
and ideas to the rest of the attendees. The
project team recorded the report-out of each
group and provided feedback for clarification
and to recognize the contributions. The maps
were photo documented and further notes
were reduced from the video recordings of the
report-out.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 52 After processing feedback from the charrette and follow-up discussions, the team developed and mapped a draft list of infrastructure projects, policies and programmatic recommendations for this Plan. A workshop highlighting the draft project recommendations was held on September 27, 2022, at the 18th Barrel Room (who generously offered use of their patio space, which was closed for the evening for the workshop venue). This outdoor event provided an opportunity for participants to hear about initial recommendations and provide feedback on the draft goals, policies, programs, and pedestrian, bicycle, and trail projects for the Plan.

Several boards were created to provide the
opportunity for additional comments and dot
voting on recommendations and strategies.

Initial project priorities included:
• Proposed roundabout at Muckelemi and
Monterey Streets
• Proposed roundabout at The Alameda at
SR-156
• Making Washington Street more bicycle
friendly
• The proposed underpass near San Juan
Creek under SR-156
• A shared-use path along the SR-156 service
road
• Adding a bike lane on 4th Street
• Separated bike lanes/shared-use path along
Cottage Coach Road
• Separated bike lanes on Mission Vineyard
Road
Several non-infrastructure strategies were
proposed for the Plan, with participants
preferring the following strategies:
• Safer Routes to School (most votes)
• Street lighting upgrades
• Transportation Demand Management
(TDM)
• Wayfinding
• A public art program
• Complete Streets / traffic calming
effort
• A street tree program
Project Recommendations Workshop
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 53 The feedback from this interactive community engagement process provided a comprehensive understanding of existing conditions and pedestrian and bicyclist needs, from the perspective of community members. Priorities and opportunities emerged through a consultative process, with key themes confirmed by participants and adhered to in the development and prioritization of recommendations. Based upon this engagement, Key Themes (Section 5) were identified and vetted by community partners and Recommendations (Section 6) are aligned with the community’s input.

Fig 59. Participants at the Draft Recommendations Workshop, September 2022 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 54 5. Key Themes
THEME 1: PLACE FIRST

CELEBRATE AND HONOR LOCAL HISTORY, CHARACTER, AND
NATURAL BEAUTY.

San Juan Bautista enjoys a range of distinctive features that provide it with great community character. Being aware of the City’s historic, cultural, and natural context is an essential foundation for developing a strong sense of place and celebrating its history. Only through the understanding and reinforcement of its character can San Juan Bautista flourish civicly and economically.

THEME 2: CONNECTED COMMUNITY

PROVIDE A COMPLETE NETWORK OF BICYCLING AND WALKING
INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIZING ACCESS TO COMMUNITY DESTINATIONS.

Improving the multi-modal infrastructure by closing existing gaps will lead to increased bicycle and pedestrian safety and comfort as well as increased access to public amenities and community destinations such as parks and schools.

THEME 3: PRIORITIZE MULTI-MODAL ACCESS TO ENCOURAGE MODE SHIFT

STRENGTHEN ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY TO TRANSIT AND
MOBILITY OPTIONS TO REGIONAL DESTINATIONS.

To accommodate the growth in years to come, a greater number of short trips should be made by more efficient means such as walking, bicycling, taking transit, or shared vehicle trips. Providing options to get around locally and within the region will contribute to fostering a healthier community and increased quality of life.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 55 THEME 6: CREATE A HEALTHY COMMUNITY

MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLES INCLUDING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND ACCESS TO LOCAL, HEALTHY FOOD.

Where we live, work, and play has a major role in shaping our health and well-being.

This is true for everyone, but is felt even more among vulnerable populations, who are less likely to have access to nutritious, affordable food and opportunities for routine physical activity, and are more likely to be exposed to environmental pollutants and circumstances that increase stress. The desire is for San Juan Bautista to incrementally enhance the built environment and expand resources such that residents of the community live longer, healthier, and happier lives.

THEME 7: PRIORITIZE SAFETY AND SECURITY

MAINTAIN THE SAFE, COMFORTABLE HUMAN-SCALE PACE OF
STREETS IN AND AROUND SAN JUAN BAUTISTA.

As cited in the 2021 Dangerous by Design publication by Smart Growth America and the National Complete Streets Coalition, the number of people killed nationwide while biking or walking has been rising, growing by over 45% during the last decade (2009- 2019 data). A community that lacks a safe and comfortable street network that meets the needs of all users will suffer—in its economy, its social well-being, and its health. The desire is for San Juan Bautista to continue applying context sensitive design principles on city streets to support residents and visitors, while supporting land uses and businesses, and overall community goals.

THEME 4: BE A COMMUNITY FOR ALL

FOSTER A PLACE THAT SERVES PEOPLE OF ALL SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS, AGES, AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES.

A community for all ensures the conditions for children and families to thrive. In general, past planning decisions nationwide have promoted systems, environments, and behaviors that contribute to significant disparities between different groups of people. The various gaps caused by differences in income, education, race and ethnicity, location, and other factors that can affect community health, can be addressed through planning practices that promote opportunity and prosperity for all. The desire is for no one to be at a disadvantage in achieving their full potential because of where they live, who they are, or what social position they occupy.

THEME 5: GROW SMART AND SUSTAINABLE
EMBRACE SUSTAINABILITY, INNOVATION, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

The expected growth in this community and increasing number of cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users reinforce the need for sustainable and active streetscapes that support the local business community and provide a more comfortable environment for all users.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 56 6. Plan Recommendations

MULTI-MODAL FOCUS
The Active Transportation and Community
Connectivity Plan focuses on development
of a robust multi-modal network that will
foster seamless transitions from one mode
to another, with specific focus on the unique
needs of those who walk and bicycle for all or
part of their journey. This plan is not just about
bicycling and walking; it is about community
mobility and increasing connectivity and
access to transportation options, including
transit. The Intercounty Transit Route currently
serves downtown at Abbe Park and Anzar
High School north of the City, providing daily
connections to Hollister to the east and Gavilan
College in Gilroy to the north.

The future of transit and ability to expand
viable service will be predicated on good
quality bicycle and pedestrian connections
to the system to serve first and last mile trip
needs. A robust multi-modal San Juan Bautista
will make it easier for residents and visitors
to experience San Juan Bautista without
depending on the automobile. Even those who
want to drive automobiles will benefit from
improved options and accessibility once the
car is parked.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 57 COMPLETE STREETS
Complete Streets is a policy approach that
emphasizes providing more transportation
choices for ALL by planning, designing,
operating, and maintaining streets to
accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, transit,
and other users. Complete Streets improve
mobility and urban livability by providing
safe, comfortable, convenient, and accessible
transportation choices for people of all ages,
abilities, and incomes while enhancing the
public realm by incorporating amenities such
as vegetation, lighting, and other streetscape
improvements. Complete Streets policies are
becoming standard practice among agencies
seeking to “rethink” the role of streets and
delivery of transportation services. Caltrans
adopted a Complete Streets Policy in 2021 that
covers funding, planning, project delivery, safety
programs, maintenance, and operations of the
State network. The city of Hollister adopted a
Complete Streets Policy and the San Benito
Council of Governments (COG) was a partner
in the development of the Monterey Bay Area
Complete Streets Guidebook, which is intended
to assist local communities with implementation
of Complete Streets.

58 The network recommendations in this chapter are organized into four categories based on project type and mode:

Bicycle Multi-Modal Network – These recommendations focus on the development of the City’s bicycle facility network including on-street bikeways, off-street trails, and intersection improvements that make cycling safer and more attractive to a wider audience.

Sidewalk Network – These recommendations include filling the sidewalk gaps and improving accessibility of the sidewalk network.

Streetscape Design – These recommendations focus on 3rd Street downtown and The Alameda from downtown to SR-156. These streets are both the gateway and main street for San Juan Bautista.

Intersection Modifications – These recommendations address treatments to various key intersections in San Juan Bautista. These treatments address safety and slower but efficient vehicle travel, while embracing the context and character of the community.

Multi-Modal Hub – This recommendation would provide an intermodal staging area located southwest of downtown near the intersection of The Alameda and SR-156 to accommodate public transit, private buses, parking for motor vehicles, and services to support travel by bicycling and walking, providing nearby access to many destinations and several public, private, and non-profit entities.

In addition to the network recommendations, the chapter concludes with a variety of policy and program strategies that align with recommendations in the 2035 General Plan and lay the groundwork for successful implementation.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN Developing a first-class bicycle multimodal network is more than just putting lines on a map and painting
lanes on some streets. It requires
us to consider the unique needs of
a wide range of cyclists and design
a system that accommodates these
needs.

In the past, bicycle planning was focused on
design practices focused on bicycle advocates and
enthusiastic cyclists. This process resulted in many
communities squeezing out space to fit bicycles
into the busy traffic environment without asking the
less confident cyclists what they wanted. Thanks to
a growing body of literature around cyclist needs
and best practices for design, we now have a better
understanding of attitudes about cycling and how
better design can encourage more people to consider
cycling for recreation and transportation.

BICYCLE MULTI-MODAL NETWORK
Research that emerged from work initiated by Roger Geller at the City of Portland, Oregon, and substantiated by published studies from Portland State University, shows that people can be grouped into four basic categories based on their attitudes and perceptions about cycling1.

FOUR TYPES OF CYCLISTS
Fig 62. Family on bicycles
1 Jennifer Dill and Nathan McNeil,
“Four Types of Cyclists? Examination
of Typology for Better Understanding
of Bicycling Behavior and Potential,”
Transportation Research Record:

Journal of the Transportation
Research Board, 2387: 129-138, 2013.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 59 60 This group reflects the most confident of
cyclists who are likely not deterred by roadway
conditions and will bicycle for the sake of
bicycling. These cyclists will use dedicated
facilities but are motivated by cycling the
shortest distance from point A to point B
with little concern for motor vehicle conflict.

These cyclists represent anywhere from 1-4%
of the population and have needs that are
significantly different than most bicyclists.

People in this category are generally
experienced and comfortable sharing the
roadway with vehicles although they prefer
dedicated facilities and will travel short
distances out of the way for better bikeways.

These cyclists represent anywhere from
5-9% of the population and will be motivated
by basic bicycle infrastructure including
traditional bicycle lanes, neighborhood and
low-speed streets, shoulders, and roadside
trails, but will prefer bikeways that provide
separation (buffers) from higher speed motor
vehicles or off-street where provided.

Strong and Fearless Interested but Concerned
This group reflects the largest segment of
the population (anywhere from 50-60%). This
group includes people who see bicycling as an
enjoyable activity but do not necessarily identify
themselves as cyclists. The key barrier for these
cyclists is the perception of comfort and safety
for cycling, and one bad experience can deter
them from choosing cycling as a routine part
of their travel. The key focus for these cyclists
is lower stress experiences; they prefer slow
neighborhood streets, trails and greenways,
and fully separated space when vehicle speeds
or volumes exceed moderate levels. Building a
network that meets the needs of these cyclists
will result in a system that makes cycling
accessible to the full community.

This last group comprises roughly a third of the
population (anywhere from 30-37%) of folks
who are either not interested in bicycling or
for various reasons not physically capable. It
is easy to dismiss this group as not relevant to
the cycling conversation, but all voices matter
and the cycling network needs to consider the
needs of users and non-users alike, as public
infrastructure impacts everyone. Improving
the comfort, safety and dignity of cycling may
change the attitude of some “No way no how”
folks and shift them to the interested but
concerned group.

Enthused and Confident No Way No How – “Not Able or Interested” San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 61 The Active Transportation and Community connectivity Plan focuses on development of a network based on this framework and creation of a system that can serve the ‘interested but concerned’ group as this will likely result in the greatest increase in cycling opportunity for residents and visitors alike.

Bicycle Multimodal Network Project Map
Bicycle Multimodal Network Project Map
The multi-modal network consists of
the on-street bicycle and shared-use
path networks that, when combined
with the sidewalk network, provide for a
community-wide active transportation
network. While the sidewalk network
is well developed, outside of some key
gaps identified in the existing conditions
analysis, the bicycle and trail network are
less developed and poorly defined in San
Juan Bautista. The multi-modal network
includes several categories of on- and offstreet facilities.

Table 3. Bicycle Multi-Modal Network Categories
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN

BICYCLE FRIENDLY STREETS
The facility type recommendations are intended to provide a consistent level of comfort and safety based on the existing and future traffic conditions in and around San Juan Bautista. The following are the multi-modal network recommendations along with descriptions of each facility type and why each facility type has been selected for specific contexts in the community.

Bicycle Friendly Street Projects
Bicycle Streets, often referred to as “bicycle
boulevards” or “neighborhood greenways”,
are low-volume, low speed residential or
local streets where cyclists can safely and
comfortably share space with motorists.

Marked bicycle lanes are not used in
these environments, but subtle traffic
calming treatments may be needed to
discourage unwanted cut-through traffic
or inappropriate travel speed by motorists.

A bicycle street is a special type of Class III
Bikeway, as defined by the Caltrans Highway
Design Manual, Chapter 1000 on Bicycle
Transportation Design, hereinafter “Chapter
1000”.

Table 4. Bicycle Friendly Street Projects
64 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN The Washington Street and Lang Street
(from 2nd Street to the future Lang Street
Connector) project builds on the existing
conditions to provide a low-speed, low-volume
facility with a key multi-modal connection
under SR-156 at the Washington Street
underpass. This project should be coordinated
with Intersection Projects 7 & 8 (mini circles
on Washington Street at 4th Street and
6th Street), especially as the Lang Street
connection is made and the likelihood of
increased motor vehicle traffic occurs.

This project, along with the Lang Street
connection or an interim shared use path
following that route, would provide an
alternative to The Alameda for bicyclists
to travel between most of the city and the
portion of the city south of SR-156. Even if the
intersection of SR-156 and The Alameda is
improved by installation of a roundabout and/
or separated (or buffered) bicycle lanes (as
recommended elsewhere in this document),
the grade separation at Washington Street
could provide a route that allows bicyclists to
avoid the potential delays and safety concerns
presented by the significant volume of traffic
on SR-156.

The 2nd Street project provides access to the
Mission and State Park historical sites with
an emphasis on further traffic calming 2nd
Street and improving the visibility and safety
of crossings at Polk and Monterey streets by
coordinating with Intersection Projects 9 & 10
(curb extensions with high visibility crosswalks)
and additional traffic calming with a mini
circle at Monterey Street (Intersection Project
11).
65 Fig 66. Subtle pavement markings, including shared lane markings (shown) can help identify the bicycle street (Portland, OR)
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 66 BICYCLE LANES
Perhaps the most common on-street bicycle facility type, the bicycle lane (or Class II Bikeway, per Chapter 1000), provides bicyclists with dedicated space within the roadway, set aside from general use travel lanes by pavement markings. Bike lanes are appropriate where traffic volumes are higher than local residential streets, for example, on streets with moderate volumes and operating speeds under 30 mph. Bike lanes are recommended on the collector and minor arterial streets within San Juan Bautista, where low motor vehicle speeds and other conditions are appropriate for marking bicycle lanes to provide comfort and safety for a wider range of user abilities.

Implementation of bicycle lanes works best with additional traffic calming measures including narrow travel lanes, managed on-street parking, intersection curb bulb-outs, mini-circles, and roundabouts. Several intersection recommendations should be coordinated with bike lane implementation (Intersection Projects 2, 3, 4 & 7).

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 67 BUFFERED BICYCLE LANES AND SEPARATED BICYCLE LANES
In situations where traffic volume
and/or speed make merely striping
bicycle lanes adjacent to general
use travel lanes less desirable from
a comfort and safety perspective,
additional buffering or separation
is necessary to provide enough
comfort for a wider range of user
abilities.

A buffered bicycle lane is a special type of Class II bicycle lane that has a horizontal buffer marked with pavement delineation, without a vertical separation element between the bike lane and the general use travel lane. A separated bicycle lane (or Class IV Bikeway, per Chapter 1000) includes grade separation, flexible posts, inflexible posts, inflexible barriers, or on-street parking between the separated bikeway and the through motor vehicle traffic. Along rural highways, like San Juan Highway (where traditional shoulder Class II bicycle lanes exist) it is desirable to create separation by expanding the bike lane along the shoulder to provide a hatched buffer three to six feet wide and possibly installing vertical elements.

Fig 68. Paint Buffer Bike Lane, FL
Fig 69. Side paths can be added by paving beyond the shoulder; flex posts can delineate the separation (rural Oregon)
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 67 When choosing between buffered bicycle lanes and separated bicycle lanes, it is important to consider maintenance issues. Vertical elements or grade separation generally provide better comfort for bicyclists than a painted buffer, but vertical elements can make it more difficult to maintain the bicycle lane. Painted buffers are often used as a compromise to provide additional comfort for bicyclists while not requiring specialized maintenance equipment, such as a narrow street sweeper.

The collector and arterial roadways outside of
downtown San Juan Bautista generally have
posted and operating speeds higher than 35
MPH and larger volumes of trucks and farm
equipment. In these situations, buffered
bicycle lanes or separated bicycle lanes are
recommended.

For the purposes of this plan, project descriptions
and cost estimates will use separated bicycle
lanes, with the recognition that the projects
could be modified to include buffered
bicycle lanes during implementation, due to
maintenance concerns.

Another consideration would be to implement
buffered bicycle lanes in the short term with the
intent to add vertical or grade separation in the
future when additional construction funding and/
or maintenance equipment is available.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN Shared use paths provide the highest level of
comfort, access, and safety for users. The Caltrans
Highway Design Manual, Chapter 1000 defines
and describes Class 1 bikeways but calls them
“bike paths.” This plan will use “shared use paths”
for paved paths that meet Chapter 1000 design
guidelines for Class I bikeways since the paths will
be open to both bicyclists and pedestrians, as well
as users of other micro-mobility devices or vehicles
if allowed by law. The word “trail” is often used in
the names of shared use paths and will be used
interchangeably with “shared use path” in this plan.

Shared use paths add measurably to building
a reliable, efficient, and socially equitable
transportation system. They can also enhance the
enjoyment and use of parks and open lands. These
important paths can address short links into and
out of neighborhoods, and create connections with
recreational, cultural, historical, and natural areas. In short, they connect nature to urban life, pump life
into eco-tourism, and provide health, fitness, and
social connections that are not provided by many
streets. These paths are restricted primarily to nonmotorized users and often placed outside of the roadway right-of-way (sometimes along riparian
corridors, utility easements, abandoned railroads, or
existing desire paths).

SHARED USE PATH
Fig 71. Wayfinding, like this example from
Xenia, OH, helps the trail network
operate as a cohesive system that is
easy to navigate
Fig 72. Trail systems may include side paths to make final connections, such as in Golden Valley, MN (left) and Xenia, OH (right)
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 69 For comfort and safety, paths should be speed controlled, permitting class 1 and class 2 electric bicycles (e-bikes) and motorized micro-mobility devices that do not exceed 20 mph. The shared use path projects identified in this Plan, when combined with proposed separated bike lanes, form the basis of a trail network for San Juan Bautista, a connected system that allows for seamless active transportation connections from the City to bikeable destinations including Anzar High School, the Anza Trailhead, and the City of Hollister.

San Juan Bautista is already well-known as an access point for the popular Anza Trail but developing shared use paths will expand access and help the community realize the full potential of a highly accessible regional trail network.

Map 12. Trail network (Banner) Trail Network extended by Buffered and Separated Bike Lanes Trail network (Banner) Trail Network extended by Buffered & Separated Bike Lanes 70 Fig 73. Anza Trail
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN This system, as currently envisioned, is more
than a trail system, it is a regional destination
that provides a living experience of the San Juan
Bautista story. Centering on the Cultural Trail
at the Mission along the fault line, the network
connects the pieces of the full story of San Juan
Bautista. This living history includes the basic
geology of the San Andreas Fault, hundreds of
years of Indigenous peoples and their sacred
grounds, the earliest European settlements as an
original part of what was at one time Mexico, the
early Mission San Juan Bautista, and the growth
of one of America’s most significant agricultural
regions that thrives today.

While trails are almost always universally loved
by a community, some individuals do not wish
to have them in their backyard. Thus, high
quality, inclusive public engagement is essential
to grow support. In particular, the successful
implementation of the Cultural Trail (project
18), the backbone of the connected network
The shared use paths recommended in this section reflect opportunities identified through community input (14, 15 & 18 – Nyland Drive connection to Breen Road, San Juan Creek Underpass, and the Camino Real Cultural Trail, respectively) or identified in existing plans and studies (13 – Lang Street Connection to the Alameda and 12 – Side path along the existing SR-156, future service road connecting to Hollister).
will require strong stakeholder collaboration
including, but not limited to, the City of San Juan
Bautista, California Department of Parks and
Recreation, the Diocese (Mission San Juan), the
school district, and tribal leaders, in addition to
other state and regional agencies.

Achieving full implementation of envisioned
trail networks requires several steps that include
developing key partnerships, robust public
engagement, conducting feasibility studies,
detailed planning of alignments, sensitivity to
the environment they traverse, and engineering
design, prior to moving into constructing the
actual trails. This planning effort should include
exploring the feasibility and site identification of
a multi-modal hub, as recommended later in this
chapter.

This process will be best served by establishing
a stakeholder task force to oversee the process
from planning to implementation and eventually
operation of the full system.

This project, identified in the San Benito COG SR-156 Multi-Modal Study (2022) is along the north side of the old alignment of SR-156 (replaced with new separated highway alignment in 2023) from Breen Road to Mitchell Road in Hollister. The recommended alternative includes a 12’ two-way shared use path and 10’ walkway along the north side of the roadway (see image below). This project, providing a key bicycle connection to Hollister would connect with Multi-Modal Projects 14 (Nyland Drive to Cagney Road Connector) and 15 (San Juan Creek Underpass).

The proposed Lang Street connector builds on MultiModal Project 6 (Washington/Lang Street Bicycle Street) and connects to Multi-Modal Project 5 (The
Alameda Separated Bike Lane) to the east, providing a
key connection beneath SR-156 at Washington Street,
and access to the Anza Trail Head to the South.

The DRAFT 2023 Community Plan Update identifies the existing west portion of Lang Street extending to connect to The Alameda near San Juan-Hollister Road. This shared use path could be developed as a side path or standalone trail based on further feasibility and design, coordinated with implementation of Multi-Modal Projects 5 and 6. There could potentially be two facilities: a shared use path directly connecting the existing west and east portions of Lang Street and a second vehicle connection between Lang Street and The Alameda near San Juan Hollister Road per the General Plan update.

Camino Real/Cultural Trail from 1st Street to San Juan Elementary School The City, California State Parks Department,
the Monterey Diocese and the San Juan –
Aromas School District, all of which contain
portions or such a trail, including an alignment
south of Franklin Street where State-owned
property could connect the trail to the school
district playing fields, development south of
Hwy 156, the Hwy 156 corridor bikeway, and
the Anza Trail to the south. There is a vision
for a cultural trail that can tell the complete
story of San Juan Bautista from the geology
of the fault line, presence of native features
and artifacts, to the Mission San Juan Bautista
and founding of the city itself. The alignment
provides an amazing opportunity to restore
pieces of the original Anza Trail that could be
connected to the trail head south of the city
and to the San Benito River Trail to the north,
while creating a regionally significant active
transportation facility.

This project would build upon the original
Camino Real with a current unimproved
segment that runs along the fault line from
Franklin Street to a lot at San Jose Street. The
proposed alignment connects from the San
Juan Elementary School (on school property)
through streets fronting State Park property
tying into the existing unimproved segment
on Diocese property. As mentioned earlier, this
project includes sensitive cultural sites and
artifacts, thus determination of the specific trail
alignment should ensure cultural elements are
undisturbed.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN

SIDEWALK NETWORK
The sidewalk network is the primary active
transportation mobility system for San Juan
Bautista. The size, scale, and street grid in
the city create the ideal framework for a
fifteen-minute walk city (a city where every
destination is within a fifteen-minute walk). A
fully connected accessible sidewalk network
provides the highest quality access for everyone
regardless of age, income, race, or physical
ability. The current sidewalk network is robust
but contains numerous missing links that can
create barriers to safe access.

Map 13. Sidewalk Networks Projects
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 79 ELEMENTS OF WALKABILITY

SIDEWALK ZONE SYSTEM
Great walkways are not achieved solely through the provision of sidewalks, crosswalks, and curb ramps. Quality walkways are planned, designed, and maintained to provide a complete network of walkways with the comfort, safety, and enjoyment of the whole community in mind.

Providing the right level and quality of walking space requires understanding the elements of the sidewalk as laid out in the sidewalk zone system. The zone system has four basic elements that may be referred to by different terms at times but follow the basic principles of defining key space for activities and use along the roadway.

Fig 83. Sidewalk Zones, image courtesy of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 80 Shy Zone
The shy zone is a two-to-three-foot buffer from the property line to the walkway.

This buffer allows for separation from fences, structure, entryways or other features, where walking directly adjacent is uncomfortable or just awkward.

Special attention should be paid to main street commercial districts where more shy distance may be useful to provide space for café seating, swinging doorways, or movable items such as sandwich boards.

Accessible Walkway
The accessible walkway is reserved for walking and talking. This zone should be at least 5’ wide to comfortably accommodate two people walking side-by-side and be fully accessible for all users, and wider in high traffic areas such as commercial districts or schools. The accessible portion of the walkway has a smooth, level, and slip-resistant surface with well-defined edges to make navigation easy and kept free from movable objects and obstructions that could be hazardous to users, especially those with vision impairments.

Planting Strip
The planting strip, sometimes referred to as the “furnishing” zone, is the space between the walkway and the curb. This is a critical space that accommodates all the “stuff” along the roadway. Mailboxes, benches, light posts, fire hydrants, bus stops and shelters, utility boxes, trash cans, bike parking, trees, plantings, and anything else you can imagine, all belong in the planting strip. It is easy to understand that the width of this area is dependent on the concentration of use, but a minimum of 5’ allows for sufficient space in most cases, with more width needed for high-traffic locations and commercial districts (where additional space may be desired for sidewalk retail and café seating). In addition to providing space for the aforementioned uses, the buffer provides separation between pedestrians and motor vehicles, while providing space for sloped driveway, aprons and curb ramp transitions outside of the accessible walkway.

Curb Zone
The final zone, the curb zone, is often overlooked, but just as important. The curb zone, sometimes called the “flex” can be as little as six inches wide, but wider where on-street parking intensity will benefit from exit door space, or where other transition activity (taxi or rideshare, bus stops, loading or delivery zones, etc.) warrant use of the space.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 81 ACCESSIBILITY AND THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) The quality of the pedestrian environment is
predicated on the level of accessibility. A truly
walkable city needs to be accessible to all persons,
especially those with disabilities. The Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA, 1990, Public Law 101-
336) requires that all state and local government
entities ensure practices and programs (including
public infrastructure) do not discriminate
against persons with disabilities. This includes
the identification and removal of accessibility
barriers within the public right-of-way including
streets and sidewalks, which must be designed
and operated in compliance with accessibility
standards (outlined in the current draft Public
Rights-of-way Accessibility Guidelines by the US
Access Board).

Compliance with ADA is achieved through
the development and updating of an
Accessibility Transition Plan, which provides
an inventory of non-compliant infrastructure
and a plan for implementation of retrofits to
meet compliance over time. These standards
are applied to both new and existing
infrastructure, such as sidewalks, curb ramps,
and traffic signals.

The City of San Juan Bautista is concurrently
seeking to address these issues outside of
the active transportation planning effort.

However, this plan will provide specific
emphasis on accessibility and promote
best practice designs to ensure all project
recommendations follow model standards for
accessibility.

Fig 84. New construction and alteration should include ADA features such as the reconstructed section of 3rd Street
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN The ADA Transition Plan Recommendation, at the end of this section, outlines the steps for updating and maintaining an inventory of accessibility barriers through the City’s ADA Transition Plan (separate from the Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan ) including an implementation strategy for meeting compliance with ADA standards with every project opportunity and all new projects, including those in this plan.

PEDESTRIAN NETWORK – SIDEWALK GAPS
This Plan identifies nearly seven miles of existing gaps in the sidewalk network, with more than half (5.66 miles) located outside of downtown. For purposes of Implementation, the sidewalk gaps have been broken into two categories:

Tier 1 Sidewalk Gaps
(26 gaps, 1.22 miles of sidewalk)
These are the sidewalk gaps within the
traditional core of the City (everything east
of Monterey and Church Streets on the west
and north of SR-156). Tier 1 sidewalks should
be the focus of near-term implementation
and prioritized in coordination with needs
identified in the City’s ADA Transition Plan
(see ADA Transition Plan Update later in this
chapter).

Tier 2 Sidewalk Gaps
(20 gaps, 5.64 miles of sidewalk)
These are networks gaps outside of the traditional
core of the City and in many cases in rural
environments where demand is lower. These
gaps should be addressed with new development
or street reconstruction opportunities, or after
the Tier 1 Gaps are fully addressed. Like the Tier
1 Gaps, the Tier 2 Gaps should be coordinated
with the City’s ADA Transition Plan for further
prioritization.

INTERSECTIONS
Beyond the identified facility projects to
expand and complete the sidewalk and
bikeway network, it is critical that the City
continues to effectively manage motor
vehicle traffic to complement active
modes and transit. These Intersection
recommendations are intended to address
comfort and safety at key nodes in San
Juan Bautista, while setting the tone for
those entering and traveling within the
community.
88 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN Fig 86. Multi-modal intersect tion in Davis, CA San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 89 90 Intersection Recommendations
Map 16. Intersections
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 91 Two key intersections on 4th Street (Muckelemi
Street and The Alameda) serve as gatekeepers
between through traffic and local homes and
businesses. Currently, these intersections are
poorly defined with significantly wide pavement
area that communicates ambiguity to motorists
and invites conflict between all modes.

Reimagining the available pavement and
reclaiming roadway for edge uses will have
numerous benefits for pedestrians and
bicyclists including shorter crossings and
conflict zones, slower turning movements for
trucks and automobiles, and enhanced space
for beautification of the intersections, while
improving traffic operations and safety.

The following concepts were derived by the
project team during the June Charrette based
on community feedback and field discussions
during walk audits and discovery tours. These
are preliminary concepts intended to inform a
larger conversation and final design process.

These intersection strategies have three key benefits: traffic calming, efficient traffic flow, and, in many cases, gateway elements that convey a clear message that one is entering a special place and should behave appropriately as a motorized guest in the city and neighborhoods. This is significant for the SR156 access points where motorists need to quickly transition from the highspeed arterial to the slow, quiet streets of San Juan Bautista, where the car is secondary to other modes of travel and activities.

Fig 90. Recently installed curb extensions on 3rd Street The intersections on 2nd Street (at Muckelemi Street and Polk Street) are opportunities to traffic calm 2nd Street in coordination with the recommended Bicycle Friendly Street (Bicycle Multi-Modal Project 19) and recommended Mini Circle at 2nd Street and Monterey Street (Intersection Project 11).

The addition of curb extensions on all corners of these intersection will encourage lower speeds and turning movements for 2nd Street traffic, while providing shorter, more visible crossing locations for pedestrians accessing the many attractions north of 2nd Street.

The recent modifications implemented on 3rd Street north of Polk Street are a good example of how this treatment should look and feel. Like the 4th Street intersections, these projects can be initiated as pilot demonstrations using low-cost materials and paint to redefine the space and test the operational impacts before committing to a permanent reconstruction at significantly higher cost.

Roundabouts
Intersections – Roundabout
Roundabouts have emerged as a proven
safe intersection design, providing a perfect
combination of efficient traffic operations, traffic
calming, and gateway treatment. Roundabouts
are safer than other forms of intersections,
while providing efficient operations for motor
vehicle traffic as well as non-motorized users. By
virtue of their geometric design, roundabouts
generate speed control for motor vehicles and
eliminate right-angle and left-turn conflicts.

Whenever feasible, it is best to provide a
dense roadway network where single lane
roundabouts, which are safe and simple to use
for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Multilane roundabouts add complexity and more potential for user conflicts, but they still have
safety and efficiency benefits compared to large
signalized intersections. There are two types
of roundabouts recommended for San Juan
Bautista including single lane roundabouts on
City streets and larger roundabouts on SR-156.

Small, single-lane roundabouts are
recommended on City streets, like the
roundabout that was recently completed at
the intersection of 1st Street and Lavagnino
Drive. The 1st Street roundabout allows
traffic to safely exit the new residential
development at the north end of the city,
while providing an excellent gateway for traffic
entering the city from San Juan Highway,
automatically bringing travel speeds down
to an appropriate speed for city streets. A
similar gateway roundabout is recommended
at the intersection of Muckelemi Street and
Monterey Street. As housing developments are
added on the outskirts of as San Juan Bautista,
roundabouts should be the default form of
intersection design along existing and future
collector and minor arterial streets. Larger,
multi-lane roundabouts are recommended
to mitigate the negative impacts of SR-156
on San Juan Bautista. This four-lane highway

Highway 101.

The existing unsignalized intersection of SR156 and Monterey Street likely poses significant safety and congestion concerns for motorists
who want to turn left from Monterey Street to
SR-156. It is difficult to judge when it is safe to
turn onto high-speed, multi-lane highways. A
roundabout at this intersection, as identified
in the SR-156 Multi-Modal Enhancement Study
(2022), would allow motorists with origins in
the northwestern half of San Juan Bautista to
travel east on Highway 156 without the danger
of making the unsignalized left turn, likely
reducing the need to drive through downtown
San Juan Bautista.

The SR-156 Multi-Modal Planning Study did
not recommend the roundabout alternative
for SR-156 at The Alameda but the concept
was strongly supported by the community
during the June engagement process, and
the team explored the conceptual feasibility of
the location. Together, these two roundabouts
would work more effectively than a signal and a
roundabout, while providing excellent gateways
to San Juan Bautista for traffic on SR-156.
connecting Highway 101 with Hollister bisects
the City, bringing tens of thousands of vehicles
per day, including large trucks, through the City.

Caltrans is constructing a roundabout at the
intersection of SR-156 and Bixby Road as part of
the San Benito Route 156 Improvement Project.

This plan proposes two additional roundabouts
on SR-156, which would provide a consistent
roundabout corridor along the highway. The
existing speed limit on this section of SR 156 is
65 MPH. A roundabout at the SR 156 Monterrey
Street intersection would require a traffic study
and lower speed limits entering the roundabout.

Any recommendation within Caltrans right of
way would require additional study, community
engagement, and review and approval by Caltrans.

The existing signalized intersection of SR-156 and
The Alameda is a primary source of congestion on
SR-156 and a barrier to pedestrians and bicyclists
who want to cross the highway. These issues are
related, since the highway’s width and large corner
radii create long pedestrian crossing distance,
which in turn create long red signal intervals for
the highway. Proposed plans to add a crosswalk to
the east side of the intersection and an eastbound
right turn lane could make these problems
worse. Installation of a roundabout at this
intersection would reduce the crossing distance
for pedestrians, while reducing delays to SR-156
traffic caused in part by pedestrian signal timing.

A roundabout here also establishes an expectation
to motorists on SR-156 that they will always need to
slow down approaching the intersection, instead
of the current situation where motorists are either

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 96 San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN Mini circles are a popular traffic calming feature that can be applied at intersections along a corridor to
help reduce traffic speed while promoting safer lowspeed intersections that can operate with yield control for all approaches. Mini circles look and operate like
tiny roundabouts, but with a simpler design (lacking
raised splitter islands, truck aprons and circulatory
path) and work best on lower-volume intersections,
often in place of stop controls. Mini circles can often be installed by simply constructing a raised central
island within the existing intersection while modifying signs and pavement markings. Mini circles provide
benefits beyond traffic calming; for example, they can
be used to eliminate stop signs, improving efficiency
and conflict reduction for both motorists and bicyclists, while maintaining low vehicle speeds.

The proposed Washington Street mini circles
should be coordinated with Multi-Modal Project 6
(Washington Street Bicycle Street) to provide both
traffic calming and intersections that work well for
bicycle travel while reducing conflict with automobiles.

STREETSCAPE DESIGN
The Alameda/3rd Street corridor is San Juan
Bautista’s front porch. It is residents’ and visitors’
first and last impression of the community. The
location, visibility, design, and operation of the
corridor must give a strong, compelling, and
lasting sense of arrival, denote the pride of the
community, and celebrate the unique timeless
history and culture of the town. It is the allimportant transition street that sets the tone to the arriving guest, announcing that they have stepped
back in time and are now in a special, honored,
carefully-built and cared-for place. The arriving
guest also has a clear sense that this is a place for
people first, a walkable city, a small-town rural
place that is artfully blending nature with urban
life, and that every element of the street design
reflects how visitors should behave, ideally by
parking and joining in the delight of the city.

The Alameda / 3rd Street corridor has many functions that go beyond safety, comfort, access, and mobility. This is San Juan Bautista’s Main Street where there should be a specific emphasis on building and maintaining “place.” Beyond this, the street stitches together several distinct neighborhoods and districts. The Alameda/3rd Street corridor is also the primary entryway from SR156 and roads south of the City, thus providing the most direct access to downtown.

Building this gateway street must draw upon the highest, most proven methods to build inclusive public consent. Every stakeholder must be welcomed and heard to advance a community-supported design. Prior to implementing these projects, the City should seek funds then undertake a public process to develop a vision for the corridor. At the heart of this process is to honor the town’s vision, determining the future of the interim conditional space reallocations (parklets) that arose during the pandemic.

MULTI-MODAL HUB
A first-class multi-modal transportation system
benefits from a centralized multi-modal facility
where all modes can connect. A multi-modal
hub would provide an intermodal staging area
to accommodate public transit, private buses,
and an off-site staging area to reduce traffic in
the downtown core. Developing the hub will also
advance numerous objectives of the 2035 General
Plan Circulation Element (CI) Objectives including:
• Complete streets
• Safe and complete pedestrian
and bicycle networks (active
transportation)
• Multi-modal support services
• Centrally located transit
• Adequate vehicle and bicycle
parking
• Improved and comprehensive
wayfinding

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 106
Existing transit operations provide another important element of a multi-modal system. The ability of each of these elements to achieve General Plan objectives rests on an easy, convenient “shift” between mutually supportive modes of travel (i.e. people get out of a car, conveniently get on a bicycle, ride a shuttle or bus, or walk to other destinations from one location.) Key transportation elements of a multi-modal system include wayfinding (gateway improvements, directional signs, and information kiosks), parking, active transportation, and transit. Each of these elements of a multi-modal system is co-equal in support of overall economic development by providing easily discoverable, useful access to historic and recreation resources located within and outside the City for residents and visitors.

Fig 101. Sacramento Valley Station Area Plan, Multi-Modal Hub San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 107
The city of San Juan Bautista can accomplish these objectives by working cooperatively with the School District and State Parks partners to establish a context-sensitive, rural scale, multi-modal transportation center, or node, near the Hwy 156/The Alameda intersection. Components can include flexible parking (including event and tour group parking), centralized transit support facilities, recreational bicycle and pedestrian active transportation staging and support amenities, physical links to adjacent and nearby cultural, biological, and geological resources including the Mission San Juan Bautista, a visitor welcoming center, creative placemaking opportunities, access to school site recreation resources, and way-finding information. The site could also serve as a “multi-agency” office, housing various public or non-profit organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce, the “Main Street” manager, State Parks office, a City Hall annex, and other local non-profit organizations. All of these proximate amenities would facilitate the free flow of visitors and residents to ensure the economic vitality of the City. (Ref. the adopted Historic San Juan Bautista Plan (2002) Section 2.4 c.ii; pg.2-30). The planning for the multi-modal hub should be coordinated, if not integrated with the Shared-Use Path network effort (Bicycle Multi-Modal Network projects 12, 13, 14, 15 & 18). Any recommendation within Caltrans right of way would require additional study, community engagement, and review and approval by Caltrans.

Policy & Program Strategies

BIKE PARKING PROGRAM
& STANDARDS
Convenient and secure bicycle parking encourages people to replace some of their car trips with bicycle trips and helps legitimize cycling as a transportation mode.

There are two categories of off-street bicycle parking:

In addition to infrastructural projects, the following opportunities will enhance safety and comfort for active transportation in San Juan Bautista. General Plan recommendations are aligned by recommendation type.

Short-term <4h
A bicycle parking space for visitors or patrons
of the building. For bicycles parked for a short
period (i.e., less than 4 hours) in locations that
are easily accessible.

Long-term >4h
A bicycle parking space for employees or
residents of the building. For bicycles parked for
longer periods (i.e., more than 4 hours), typically
requiring more secure parking.
1 Fig 102. Short-term bike parking (left) and long-term parking (right) San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 109
Increased uptake in cycling as a viable travel mode may not reach its full potential if bicycle parking security is not considered at the planning and design stages. Bicycle parking should consider all types of bicycles and be designed to meet the needs of all ages and abilities.

To that end, there are several fundamental guiding principles that influence how bicycle parking is both located and accessed:

Well-Located
Convenient, accessible, as close
as possible to the destination,
and weather-protected.

Signage
Integrated, high-quality, and
simple bicycle parking signage
should be provided to indicate
the availability and location of an
off-street bicycle parking area.

Detectability
Design should be cognizant of
users with physical, sensory, or
cognitive impairments and should
ensure the facilities are both easily
detectable for these users and do
not create obstacles.

Stair-Free Access
Provision of ramps or elevators
large enough to accommodate
all types of bicycles. Slopes
should be limited.

Visibility
The location selected for
bicycle parking shall be easily
identifiable by cyclists as they
are riding. It will also help to
reduce theft and vandalism.

Lighting
Quality lighting shall be provided
to ensure facilities are well-lit
to improve the overall security
of all bicycle parking facilities.

Tamper-proof features should be
considered to prevent vandalism.

Minimum Widths
Appropriate widths should be provided
along all routes required to access
bicycle parking facilities, including
along ramp accesses, at doorways, and
aisle widths in bicycle parking rooms.

Barrier-Free
Access to bicycle parking facilities
should be direct and free from
obstacles to accommodate all users.

Provide breaks in long lengths or span
of bicycle racks to allow users a more
convenient path for access and egress.

Security
Racks in visible, well-lit places that
have high levels of natural surveillance.

Racks should support the bicycle in at
least two places, allow locking of the
frame and one or both wheels with
a U-lock, be securely anchored to the
ground, and resist cutting, rusting,
bending or deformation.

COMPLETE STREETS / 2 TRAFFIC CALMING
Complete Streets is a policy and approach to
planning, designing, operating, and maintaining
streets. Complete Streets improve mobility and urban
livability by providing safe, comfortable, and accessible transportation choices for people of all ages, abilities, and incomes, while enhancing the public realm with the
incorporation of amenities such as vegetation, lighting, and other streetscape improvements. They also play
an integral role in addressing a range of issues that
many cities, including San Juan Bautista, are currently concerned with, including reducing the use of single
occupancy vehicles, improving mobility, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants,
enhancing pedestrian safety, promoting active lifestyles and healthy communities, revitalizing business districts, improving water quality, and maximizing the use of
scarce resources and funds. Traffic calming is the set
of measures that reduce the negative effects of motor
vehicle use, altering driver behavior, and improving
conditions for active transportation, business life, social activity, and livability.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 111 FUNDING STRATEGIES 3
Across the country, interest in and demand for better pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure has increased the interest of state and local agencies in using innovative funding and financing strategies to deliver active transportation projects. Many traditional funding programs reserve limited sums for active transportation projects or require competition for funding with other project types that may fare better when applying established prioritization criteria. While bicycle and pedestrian projects tend to be lower cost than most road projects, transportation agencies throughout the country face unique challenges in securing timely, adequate funding for them. Strategies that agencies have not typically used for active transportation projects, such as value capture and bond financing, are increasingly gaining attention as effective methods for delivery of bicycle and pedestrian projects.

A full list of funding opportunities is
summarized in Section 9 Funding
Source Matrix.

Funding refers to the source of
the cash flow for a project, such as
tax revenues or user fees. Funding
sources tend to be more liquid than
financing sources. Whether or not
agencies use financing methods,
they secure funding sources to pay
for projects. Traditionally, tax-based
sources such as Federal aid dollars
have been the most common source
of transportation funding, but agencies
throughout the country have also
used innovative funding strategies
such as value capture, crowd-sourcing,
and sponsorships. Common funding
strategies for active transportation
projects include:

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND
MANAGEMENT 5
Local and regional jurisdictions are increasingly implementing Transportation Demand Management (TDM) policies and programs to harness the power of these travel options and reduce the number of individuals driving alone to commute to work or reach their travel destination. This plan has elements that are key to implementing effective TDM strategies. By changing preferences and patterns, transportation demand management offers the fastest and most cost-effective way to manage congestion. Recommendations that might benefit San Juan Bautista include coordinating between government and the private sector. Local and/or regional governments cannot be the only entities promoting TDM strategies. Businesses, transportation management associations, and non-profit groups have a hand in promoting these programs. When the community and local businesses buy into reducing drive alone trips, then TDM programs are more likely to succeed.

Marketing the TDM strategies is as important as the strategies themselves.

A big step for implementing TDM programs and policies is simply informing people of the choices all around them. Social marketing and public awareness campaigns are well-suited to broadcast this information. This step also includes an analysis of who is commuting and where they are going.

People need transportation choices if the goal is to reduce drive-alone trips.

While frequent transit service, a complete sidewalk network, and comfortable bicycle facilities are necessary, new strategies around real-time transportation information and micro-mobility options must be included in any current TDM plan.

San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 114
The topic areas through which TDM is exercised are diverse, inclusive of urban design and Transit Oriented Development concepts, traffic modeling and demand, information technology, GPS and real time information, public-private partnerships, and benefits programs. The ultimate goal of a comprehensive TDM program is to serve the needs of the community by identifying strategic locations and interventions that encourage the use of other modes of transportation and molding these modes in a way that is both fiscally and politically feasible. An illustration of TDM topic areas is shown in the figure below.

PARKING MANAGEMENT

STREET LIGHTING
6 7
San Juan Bautista currently has an abundance
of parking, and very little management of
parking. When a parking space receives
the appropriate turnover rate in a healthy
downtown it has a value of $200,000, but
when not properly managed this value drops
significantly. A comprehensive, forward-thinking
effort is needed to better manage parking in
the downtown and surrounding historic sites.

A parking management study provides a
comprehensive update of the current status of
the city’s downtown parking, including existing
conditions and policy analysis. A parking
management study could develop downtown
parking strategies to better manage current
parking supply, serve existing demand, estimate
the future parking needs, and understand the
most appropriate funding opportunities for ongoing and future parking programs. Community input is needed to engage all users including
office tenants, businesses, retailers, residents,
and visitors on a better way to manage parking.

Street and pedestrian lighting is intended to create a nighttime environment in which people can quickly and accurately identify objects. Street lighting can improve, safeguard, and facilitate vehicular and pedestrian traffic. By providing an interconnected pedestrian network consisting of sidewalks, curb ramps, stairways, and convenient street crossing opportunities, walking becomes a safer, more attractive, and viable travel mode; quality pedestrian lighting allows pedestrians to access their destinations including transit stops, places of employment, recreation facilities, schools, and residences.

8 FACILITY MAINTENANCE
Municipal maintenance is not a small task for
any city, small or large. Facilities maintenance
encompasses a broad spectrum of services,
competencies, processes, and tools required
to assure the built environment will remain in
proper condition to meet its intended function
during its life cycle. Facilities include utility
systems, parking lots, streets, drainage structures,
and civic grounds. Maintenance activities include
planned preventive and predictive maintenance
and corrective (repair) maintenance. Preventive
maintenance consists of a series of time-based
maintenance requirements that provide a
basis for planning, scheduling, and executing
scheduled maintenance, versus corrective efforts.

Operations and maintenance are combined
into the common term operations and
maintenance because a facility cannot
operate at peak efficiency without being
maintained; therefore, the two are discussed
as one. Operations and maintenance require
a knowledgeable, skilled, and well-trained
management and technical staff and a
well-planned maintenance program. The
philosophy behind the development of a
maintenance program is often predicated on
the organization’s capabilities.

9 STREET TREE PROGRAM
Street trees are considered an essential
part of most urban streets. They help cool
places and cleanse the air, pump oxygen
into the atmosphere, reduce heat island
impacts, help with drainage, bring nature
into the city, and provide for a pleasant and
comfortable walking environment. San
Juan Bautista should consider adding street
trees by developing a street tree plan, with
plantings and maintenance by the City.

Special attention must be paid to the health,
retention and replacement, where necessary,
of historic landscaping, including trees, within
public spaces and within rights of way.

Wayfinding is a powerful tool that increases pedestrian circulation, celebrates the culture and history of a place, and reinforces identity and sense of place. Wayfinding design combines signage and map design, symbols, color, and typography to effectively navigate people through a space. Especially important in built environments, wayfinding design provides the visual cues to help guide people to their destinations with ease. Effective wayfinding systems increase the comfort level of those navigating the community.

Positive experiences may lead to longer tourist stays and inspire deeper exploration of what a community has to offer. Signs, maps, and tours indicate a community’s support for walking culture and are a good way for municipalities to encourage and facilitate walking for many different purposes, including recreational, utilitarian, and fitness.

11 SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL
Walking and biking bolsters physical and mental health, reduces traffic congestion, improves air quality, reduces the impact of school travel on our climate, and strengthens our communities and sense of place. National estimates indicate that school trips represent 26% of traffic during the morning peak hour. Kids who walk, bike, and bus to school become adults who walk, bike, and bus.

By teaching children the joys and health benefits of safe walking and biking, we are helping students to make active transportation a lifelong choice. San Benito County developed a School Walk and Bicycle route map for San Juan Elementary school and improvements to pedestrian crossings on 4th Street and The Alameda (also identified in the San Benito County Bikeway and Pedestrian Master Plan (2009). Creating a local San Juan Bautista SRTS Program will allow the city and school district to focus on site specific needs and travel habits to develop a new action plan that will advance the goal of making it safer and easier for kids to walk and bike to school.

• HPCD 3.1.1.5 Develop public arts program for trails and complete streets PUBLIC ART PROGRAM 12
Public art adds value to communities - from a cultural, social and economic perspective. Public art celebrates our past and reveals our evolving culture, making communities meaningful and unique.

Public art often adds a layer of interest and activates public spaces.

Streets, intersections, traffic signal control boxes, hydrants, fences, sitting spaces, parks, plazas, buildings, underpasses, medians, and even parking lots could be considered canvases to enliven neighborhoods or the city with either temporary or long-term art projects. Gateways into town are especially important locations for public art. The city already has several pieces of public art primarily located downtown, including seasonal displays on 3rd Street. Guidelines already in place in San Juan Bautista suggest the following themes for consideration:

In April 2022, the San Benito County Arts Council sought California-based artists or artist teams to submit their qualifications to create and install a large-scale mural and other artistic elements, at the Washington Street Underpass in San Juan Bautista. The city could create an arts advisory committee to manage the call of artists and selection of talent for other projects. Future projects may also be part of a State Highway Beautification Project, sponsored by the California Department of Transportation and the Clean California Program. Governor Newsom, as part of his California Comeback Plan, Clean California, is investing $1.1 billion for state and local governments to clean up trash and debris statewide and beautify community gateways and public areas along highways and streets.

UPDATED FACILITY 13 DESIGN GUIDES
There is a significant lag between those designs that communities seek, those that support people and place, and the conventional and widely accepted design guidance documents, developed by state and national organizations.

Many engineers seek adopted document support before they take action. Thus, this plan recommends City Council adoption of one or more modern guides, allowing a more complete toolbox.

Documents that provide more comprehensive tools
have been written and can be adopted locally. For
instance, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
has produced The Small Town and Rural Multi-Modal
Networks report which is a “resource and idea book
intended to help small towns and rural communities
support safe, accessible, comfortable, and active travel for people of all ages and abilities. It provides a bridge between existing guidance on bicycle and pedestrian
design and rural practice, encourages innovation in
the development of safe and appealing networks
for bicycling and walking in small towns and rural
areas, and shows examples of peer communities and
project implementation that is appropriate for rural
communities.”
Fig 114. Small Town and Rural Multi-Modal Networks Report San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 123
More locally, through the work of TAMC,
SSCRPC and San Benito County have created
the Monterey Bay Area Complete Streets
Guidebook, intended “to provide resources
and a procedure to local jurisdictions for
developing streets in the Monterey Bay Area
that meet the needs of all users, including
non-drivers of all ages and abilities, and
help reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by encouraging bicycle, pedestrian and
transit usage.” The policy guidance and

TECHNOLOGY AND 14 MICRO-MOBILITY
In response to the increasing demand for walking
and bicycling facilities in cities and towns across
the country, many jurisdictions are exploring micromobility as an alternative mode for short trips and active transportation. The Federal Highway
Administration broadly defines micro-mobility as
any small, low-speed, human- or electric-powered
transportation device, including bicycles, scooters,
electric bicycles, electric scooters (e-scooters), and
other small, lightweight, wheeled devices. Micromobility is an innovative urban transportation solution aimed at providing short-distance travel
options including first and last mile trips for transit connections. With the advent of smartphones,
micro-mobility gained further popularity as a
shared mode of transport that can be booked
using popular apps on connected mobile devices.

Cities across the nation are experimenting with a
range of approaches to actively manage micromobility programs to ensure positive safety and equity outcomes. Cities are examining the
effects of various safety practices—including how
to set service areas, determine maximum safe
device speeds, and restrict times of operation in
areas with dense micro-mobility ridership—and
exploring approaches to incentivize helmet use.

Cities also are investigating micro-mobility parking
needs in relation to concerns about sidewalk
accessibility for pedestrians with disabilities. The
California legislature has provided some useful
framing in the California Vehicle Code related to
micro-mobility; for example, defining “motorized
scooter” and “electrically motorized board” and
providing rules of the road for users of these
devices.

Fig 116. COGO Bikeshare, Columbus, OH
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 125
More recently the emergence of Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs – small electric vehicles, roughly the size of a golf cart that are licensed and regulated for street use by California state law) has prompted some California communities to consider special facilities to accommodate this new mobility option. Currently, California law already permits the use of these vehicles (provided they are properly registered) on all street with speed limits below 30 mph. This would include all streets within San Juan Bautista and exclude the rural highways outside of the community and SR-156. The city should monitor use of these vehicles moving forward to determine if any further support or regulation is needed (e.g. designated parking, charging stations, etc.)
Alignment with 2035 General Plan - Existing Strategies
• HE 5.2.1.2 Explore innovative solutions such as a bicycle coalition and bicycle share program GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE 15
Urban development leads to an increase in impervious
surfaces and a corresponding increase in surface
runoff and pollutants from vehicles and other urban
sources. Green infrastructure includes streets and
parking lots designed with a landscape and/or paving
system that captures, slows, filters, and potentially
infiltrates storm water runoff. By increasing natural
storage and infiltration of rainwater, municipalities can slow peak flows and ease the burden of overwhelmed
storm drain infrastructure. However, the benefits of
building green infrastructure go beyond the obvious
and include many ancillary environmental and
community benefits. The concepts of livability and
storm water management are intertwined. Green
streets and parking lots are most commonly thought
of as introducing some type of storm water treatment
measure (e.g., vegetated swale, planter, rain garden,
etc.) to actively capture and manage surface runoff at
its source. Infrastructure and development projects
offer opportunities to get a green infrastructure
program in motion and such infrastructure should be
considered necessary with any redesign of permeable
areas.

Fig 117. Green Infrastructure
San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 126
ADA TRANSITION 16 PLAN UPDATE
Many existing sidewalks are inadequate in width
or separation from the roadway or in need
of repair or replacement. More importantly,
much of the system does not meet current
standards for accessibility needed to comply
with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA –
1990). The City should seek all opportunities to
improve conditions, from routine street repair
or reconstruction projects and ADA retrofits, to
development and new construction, that meet
model standards for comfort and accessibility
across the system. In particular, this plan
recommends that the City perform planning,
environmental review, and design for sidewalk
installations and ADA retrofits, to develop shovelready projects for available outside funding sources.

Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA, 1990, Public Law 101-336), states
and local government agencies have a legal
responsibility to ensure that all public programs,
activities, and services are accessible to persons
with disabilities. This includes all public facilities
and infrastructure, including both existing and
new construction. Furthermore, agencies have
a responsibility to maintain accessible features
in compliant condition, including repair and
replacement of sidewalks and ramps that fall
out of compliance, seasonal maintenance of
landscaping, debris, snow and ice, work zone
accessibility during construction projects and
ensuring property and business owners do not
create barriers such as parked cars, sandwich
boards, seating or other temporary uses.

The US Access Board is the agency responsible
for developing minimum accessibility guidelines
for compliance with ADA requirements for new
construction or alterations. These guidelines
are found in the draft Public Rights-of-Way
Accessibility Guidelines and reflect the current
recommended practice for complying with the
ADA.

ADA Transition Plans document current
conditions via an inventory of current noncompliant facilities and a detailed plan for continuous implementation for meeting
compliance over time.

Fig 118. Addressing accessibility creates streets that work for everyone, Davis, CA San Juan Bautista ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY PLAN 127
Once an updated ADA Transition Plan is developed for San Juan Bautista, projects can be identified that bundle ADA retrofits for various locations in the City, to take advantage of economy of scale. It may also be beneficial to bundle ADA retrofits with one or more sidewalk infill projects.

ADA Transition Plans must:
• Inventory physical obstacles by location, including but not limited to the following:
• Curb ramps that do not meet current ADA standards for running slope, cross slope, detectable warnings, etc.
• Driveway aprons that do not have at least four feet of sidewalk width with cross slope less than 2%.
• Utility poles, signposts, or other physical objects that restrict the sidewalk width to less than four feet.
• Damaged or heaved sidewalks where there are vertical changes in level exceeding ¼-inch • Provide opportunity for residents and persons with disabilities to provide input • Detail the methods and process for making facilities accessible • Provide a schedule for implementation and modifications • Identify an official responsible for plan implementation • Set aside a budget for plan implementation
Alignment with 2035 General Plan - Existing Strategies
• CI 1.2.1.2 Comply with American Disabilities Act of 1990 Review and update ADA Transition plan and identify implementation strategies for meeting compliance • CI 2.2.3.1 Identify and remove accessibility barriers to bus stop locations as well as transit boarding/ alighting

7. Project Prioritization
Criteria | Methodology
Prioritizing projects is one of the main steps in the process of developing an Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan. The project recommendations from this Plan came from qualitative analysis and public/stakeholder engagement completed by the project team with the goal of being as comprehensive as possible. The prioritization criteria were informed by the planning process; they reflect the input from residents, community organizations, property and business owners, and agency staff. Strategies from the City’s 2035 General Plan were also considered.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION METHODOLOGY
The project prioritization methodology
presented below ranks projects by potential
impact alongside level of readiness. The
objective for this tool is to guide decisionmaking in the City’s project implementation process and provide documentation of various
benefits to align with competitive funding
opportunities.

Each of the recommended projects in this
Active Transportation and Community
Connectivity Plan were screened based on
the criteria established to determine which
improvements best aligned with the needs
and desires of the community and best help
the City reach its vision. This evaluation, along
with factors like local knowledge was used
to flag projects as short-, mid-, or long-term
projects.

access between the west edge of
the City and the growing north
part of the City.

Bike lanes should be added with
resurfacing from Monterey Street
to 4th Street (no lanes needed from
4th Street to 2nd Street), providing
bicycling access between the west
edge of the City and downtown.

Bike lanes should be added on
4th Street via restriping, providing
bicycle access from Monterey to
the Alameda.

Bicycle lanes can be provided on
3rd Street via restriping, extending
the existing bike lanes west of
Trailside to the recommended
bicycle facilities for The Alameda
to the south.

Converting Washington Street
and Lang Street to a bicycle street
provides better access for residents
of the Lang Street neighborhood,
eventually tying in with the Lang
Street connector to The Alameda.

Bicycle lanes on The Alameda provide a
critical connection between downtown
and the southern portion of the City;
buffered or separated bicycle lanes
are recommended due to the higher
volumes of motor vehicle traffic.

A shared use path along the north
side of Nyland Drive extended
beyond the current terminus to
Cagney Road will provide a key
connection from downtown to the
new SR-156 Sidepath to Hollister.

Establishing a north-south connector
using the existing San Juan Creek
underpass will improve connections
from downtown to developing areas
to the south.

This shared use path, with specific
alignment yet to be determined, would
be a marquee destination trail and
the backbone of the trail system with
significant opportunity for education
and telling the San Juan Bautista story.

This shared use path should be developed in advance of or in conjunction with extension of Lang Street to The
Alameda to create a new connection
from downtown to the Anza Trailhead.
2nd Street is relatively low-volume,
so a shared street is sufficient for
most bicyclists. Branding this street
for bicycling improves access to key
attractions including the Mission and
State Historical Park.

PROJECT DETAILS ADDITIONAL NOTES
Bike lanes should be added the next time Muckelemi Street is resurfaced, providing bicycling access between the west edge of the City and downtown. Bike lanes can be achieved by restriping for most of the length, but pavement reconstruction will be necessary at the west end. Between 4th Street and 2nd Street, this project should be a bicycle street, without dedicated lanes.

Restripe for bicycle lanes with the next resurfacing project, including surfacing of the damaged shoulder at the
west end: Assume restriping for 784 feet from west of
San Antonio Street to 4th Street. Assume bike lanes end halfway between 4th Street and 3rd Street where the
street width narrows; after that facility will be a bicycle street.
4th Street can be restriped for bike lanes by removing the centerline and eliminating parking from one side of the street. Parking removal could switch sides based on parking demand and to create a chicane effect to reduce travel speeds for motorists.

Curb to curb width varies from 40 feet to 42 feet; restripe by removing parking from one side of the street.

Bicycle lanes can be provided on 3rd Street via restriping, by either removing parking from one side or maintaining it as a one-way street, and extending the existing bike lanes west of Trailside to the recommended bicycle facilities for The Alameda to the south.

With 40’ to 42’ of curb to curb width, the only ways to get bike lanes on 3rd Street is to remove parking from
one side (could be challenging given all storefronts and likely demand for parking and/or parklets), or to have a one-way street as was done temporarily. Also, the two
blocks between Tahualami Street and Muckelemi Street
recently had curb extensions added that narrow the curb to curb width to about 26 feet at the San Jose Street and Muckelemi Street intersections. These curb extensions
preclude bike lanes without reconstructing them. Cost
estimate based on restriping, but design challenges may increase the scope of the project.

Providing bicycle lanes on The Alameda is critical, since it is the only connection between downtown and the southern portion of the City; buffered or separated bicycle lanes are recommended due to the high volumes of motor vehicle traffic. Bicycle lanes can be provided via restriping from 3rd Street to San Juan Hollister Road; south of San Juan Hollister Road, widening is necessary. The design of the bicycle lanes at the SR-156 intersection will need to be customized as needed for the existing signalized intersection or a future roundabout.

Will require making some tweaks to on-street parking
(likely converting the diagonal parking created recently at the north end back to parallel parking, and removing parking on the east side south of SR 156. Restriping for bicycle lanes near SR-156 may require intersection striping modifications, which would require additional study,
community engagement, and review and approval by
Caltrans.

See above
Widen from 24 feet to 38 feet; assume 14 feet of widening.

PROJECT DETAILS ADDITIONAL NOTES
Converting Washington Street and Lang Street to a bicycle street provides better access for residents of the Lang Street neighborhood in the short term. Long term, with Lang Street connected via a street or shared use path, this bicycle street provides a grade crossing of SR 156 for bicyclists.

Adding painted buffers to this roadway can improve the comfort of bicyclists; widening is challenging given the topography and roadside ditches. Raised devices to create separated bicycle lanes aren’t feasible here, due to the need to move farm equipment at some times of the year.
32 feet of existing pavement; widening isn’t feasible
without significant grading work. Restripe with 5’ bike lane, 1’ buffer, 10’ travel lanes.
2nd Street is relatively low-volume, so a shared street is sufficient for most bicyclists. Branding this street for bicycling encourages riding and makes motorists aware of bicyclists’ presence.

Larios Drive to 1st Street: Bike lanes should be added the next time Monterey Street is resurfaced, providing bicycling access between the west edge of the City and the growing north part of the City. Bike lanes can be achieved by restriping for most of the length, but some parking removal will be necessary; pavement widening will be necessary from Muckelemi Street to Larios Drive. (See MM-01B Long-Term Implementation)
Assume restriping and removal of all parking from
Larios Drive to Merentis Circle (540 feet). Assume
restriping and removal of one side parking from
Merentis Circle to 1st Street (1,050 feet).

Providing buffered lanes here provides a comfortable route to the Anza Trailhead, achieved through widening the existing pavement. Long term a shared use path on the east side should be implemented.

Estimate is for widening, although this project
could be a bicycle street or shared street for all
users once south of the seafood plant. Widen from
22 feet to 34 feet; assume 12 feet of widening. Cross
section 5’ bike lane - 2’ buffer - 10’ travel lane - 10’ travel lane - 2’ buffer - 5’ bike lane.

The existing SR 156 will transition to a service road as new SR 156 is completed. A shared use path should be installed on the north side of the new service road providing a connector to Hollister.

This recommendation within Caltrans right of
way would require additional study, community
engagement, and review and approval by Caltrans.

When the two ends of Lang Street are connected, a shared use path should also be provided, to create a new connection from downtown to the Anza Trailhead. If the connection of Lang Street is delayed or experiences neighborhood opposition, the shared use path could be built independently, without the street connection.

A shared use path along the north side of Nyland Drive, along the north side of SR-156, and placed between Breen Road and SR-156; extended to Cagney Road. This path should cross the new SR-156 frontage road to connect to the new SR 156 sidepath to Hollister, completing the bicyclist and pedestrian connection between San Juan Bautista and Hollister. This project includes construction of a structure over San Juan Creek; see MM-14B below.

Path portion
See MM-14A above Bridge over San Juan Creek
This shared use path, with specific alignment yet to be determined, would be a marquee destination trail and the backbone of the trail system with significant opportunity for education and telling the San Juan Bautista story.

Establishing a north-south connector using the existing San Juan Creek underpass will improve connections from
downtown to developing areas to the south. This project includes modifications to the underpass; see MM-15B below.

There may be significant environmental permitting required for this project.

See MM-15A above. Improvements to SR-156 underpass to install path (retaining walls, flood walls, etc.).

A multi-modal hub would provide an intermodal staging area to accommodate public transit, private buses, a visitor center and off-site staging area for visitors and trail users to reduce traffic within the downtown core.

Bike lanes can be achieved by restriping for most of the length, but pavement reconstruction will be necessary at the west end. Between 4th Street and 2nd Street, this project should be a bicycle street, without dedicated lanes.

MM-03 BIKE LANES 4TH STREET SHORT-TERM Bicycle lane restriping 0.53 $ $ 79,665 4th Street can be restriped for bike lanes by removing the centerline and eliminating parking from one side of the street. Parking removal could switch sides based on parking demand and to create a chicane effect to reduce travel speeds for motorists.

Curb to curb width varies from 40 feet to 42 feet; restripe by removing parking from one side of the street.

MM-04 BIKE LANES 3RD STREET SHORT-TERM Bicycle lane restriping 0.70 $ $$ 104,441 Bicycle lanes can be provided on 3rd Street via restriping, by either removing parking from one side or maintining it as a one-way street, and extending the existing bike lanes west of Trailside to the recommended bicycle facilities for The Alameda to the south.

With 40' to 42' of curb to curb width, the only ways to get bike lanes on 3rd Street is to remove parking from one side (could be challenging given all storefronts and likely demand for parking and/or parklets), or to have a oneway street as was done temporarily. Also, the two blocks between Tahualami Street and Muckelemi Street recently had curb extensions added that narrow the curb to curb width to about 26 feet at the San Jose Street and Muckelemi Street intersections. These curb extensions preclude bike lanes without reconstructing them. Cost estimate based on restriping, but design challenges may increase the scope of the project.

MM-05A
SEPARATED BIKE LANES THE ALAMEDA SHORT-TERM Buffered bicycle lane restriping 0.34 $ $ 64,413 Providing bicycle lanes on The Alameda is critical, since it is the only connection between downtown and the southern portion of the City; buffered or separated bicycle lanes are recommended due to the high volumes of motor vehicle traffic. Bicycle lanes can be provided via restriping from 3rd Street to San Juan Hollister Road; south of San Juan Hollister Road, widening is necessary. The design of the bicycle lanes at the SR-156 intersection will need to be customized as needed for the existing signalized intersection or a future roundabout.

Will require making some tweaks to on-street parking (likely converting the diagonal parking created recently at the north end back to parallel parking, and removing parking on the east side south of SR 156. Restriping for bicycle lanes near SR-156 may require intersection striping modifications, which would require additional study, community engagement, and review and approval by Caltrans.

WASHINGTON STREET/LANG STREET SHORT-TERM Bicycle Street 0.64 $ $ 25,660 Converting Washington Street and Lang Street to a bicycle street provides better access for residents of the Lang Street neighborhood in the short term. Long term, with Lang Street connected via a street or shared use path, this bicycle street provides a grade crossing of SR 156 for bicyclists.

MM-07

SEPARATED BIKE LANES
FIRST AVE/SAN JUAN HIGHWAY SHORT-TERM Bicycle lane restriping 2.48 $ $$$ 371,458 Adding painted buffers to this roadway can improve the comfort of bicyclists; widening is challenging given the topography and roadside ditches. Raised devices to create separated bicycle lanes aren't feasible here, due to the need to move farm equipment at some times of the year. 32 feet of existing pavement; widening isn't feasible without significant grading work. Restripe with 5' bike lane, 1' buffer, 10' travel lanes.

1 CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: MULTI – MODAL CENTER AND THIRD STREET MASTER

PLAN INTEGRATED PLAN GRANT FUNDING

APPLICATION
DATE: February 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Brian Foucht, Community Development Director Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit a grant application to the State Department of Transportation (CAL TRANS) under the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program to develop an integrated Multi-Modal Center Plan.

Discussion
The 2035 General Plan Circulation Element (CI) Objectives (pp 168-174 call for:
• complete streets;
• a safe and complete pedestrian and bicycle networks (active transportation); • multi-modal support services;
• centrally located transit;
• adequate vehicle and bicycle parking; and
• improved and comprehensive wayfinding
The now - approved Active Transportation and Community Connectivity Plan (ATP) provides a road-map to accomplish these objectives. Achievement of these objectives will require an easy, convenient, and proximate “shift” between mutually supportive modes of travel ( i.e. people get out of a car, conveniently get on a bicycle, ride a shuttle or bus, or walk to other destinations from one location.)
The City of San Juan Bautista can accomplish these objectives by working in partnership with the Aromas – San Juan Unified School District, California State Parks, Roman Catholic Diocese of Monterey and the San Juan Bautista Historical Society, EDCAC and ATP project advisory group members to establish a context-sensitive, rural scale, multi-modal transportation center (referenced in the ATP as a “hub”) located near the Hwy 156/The Alameda intersection.

Components of such a center often include flexible parking (including event and tour group parking), centralized transit support facilities, recreational bicycle and pedestrian active transportation staging and support amenities (lockers/showers/restrooms), visitor information, creative placemaking, gateway elements and physical links to adjacent and surrounding community resources.

A Multi-Modal Center may also serve multiple civic purposes, accommodating various public or non-profit organizations such as the Chamber, the “Main Street” manager, State Parks office, a City Hall annex, City/School joint use facilities and other local non-profit organization offices. A mix of proximate amenities and uses would facilitate the free flow of visitors and residents to ensure the economic vitality of the City. (Ref. the adopted Historic San Juan Bautista Plan (2002) Section 2.4 c.ii; pg.2-30)
The planning area would encompass the following:
• Elements of the Hwy 156 Corridor Enhancement Project active transportation improvements in the vicinity of The Alameda;
• Areas of the Aromas - San Juan Unified School District property fronting The Alameda, extending North from Nyland Drive to Franklin St.
• Fourth Street/ The Alameda intersection
• Third Street from South from Franklin to Muckelemi (Third Street Historic District and Master Plan Area)
• Joint use trails and points of access to historical, educational, and recreation resources within School District, City, State Parks and Church owned properties.

Conceptual design plans and programming to achieve Multi-Modal Center objectives on properties fronting The Alameda, South of Franklin, will integrate cohesively with San Juan School site planning, the overall rural scale of the community and historical context of Third Street, North of Franklin. In this manner, overall design attributes of Transportation Center improvements along The Alameda will be integrated with Aromas – San Juan USD goals and objectives and avoid conflicts with the historical context of the Third Street Historic District by integrating streetscape, creative placemaking, outdoor commercial, and multi-modal transportation improvements along these geographically continuous streets. The Third Street Master Plan component of the MultiModal Center Plan will be the vehicle through which these relationships North of Franklin are explored.

Physical, functional, and operational relationships of existing and planned improvements between State Parks, San Juan School, and Old Mission San Juan Bautista are key considerations in the Multi-Modal Center planning process. In this unique case, partners are all adjacent. Joint planning will easily benefit each entity with easy access between the Multi-Modal Center plan area depicted in the ATP to historic resources identified by the City, historical and cultural resources within State Parks, cultural, historical and cultural resources of Mission San Juan Bautista, and recreation and educational resources of the School District.

It is expected that the Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee will play a key role as the voice of this project regarding concepts and implementation. Letters of support are being solicited from Legislators, County Supervisors, Council of Governments, the School District, State Parks and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Monterey, and other ATP project advisory group entities.

Fiscal Impact

1 CITY OF SAN JUAN BAUTISTA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: FISCAL YEAR 22/23 MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 21, 2023
DEPARTMENT HEAD: Don Reynolds, City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution amending the budget for Fiscal Year 22/23 as indicated to reflect higher than expected revenues, savings, and several new projects and studies to be initiated before the end of the fiscal year (June 30).

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Over the past three years, the City has structured a “Budget Cadence,” that provides predictable transparency to its fiscal status throughout the fiscal year as follows:

July 1 newly adopted budget,
Summer- close the books for the prior year,
Late Fall- audit and confirmation of Year End budget assumptions, January/February – a review of the first half of the fiscal year (“Mid-Year”), February-March Strategic Plan adoption,
May Initial Budget presentation,
May-June Budget workshops,
June – Budget adoption for the next Fiscal Year
The City adopted Resolution 2023, January 24, 2023, and accepted a clean audit for Fiscal Year 21/22, and is now at the “Mid-Year” stage of its fiscal cadence. Also on January 24, 2023, the City agreed to retain the services of CityGate to initiate the Strategic Plan; coming soon.

Public Accounting categorizes its revenues and expenses based upon the source of the revenue.

These “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (or GAAP), are the those applied to the audit and budget process, as well as the daily and monthly processing of invoices, receipts and payments that are in-line with the Budget. Of the 11 different fund types, the City’s General Fund and two Enterprise Funds (Water and Sewer) are the most important.

Item: 7.D
City Council Meeting
February 21, 2023
2 The 21/22 Budget was referred to as a “recovery budget” having fully recovered from the economic impacts of the pandemic. The addition of the two new housing tracts increased property tax and sales tax for the City, the two main sources of its $2.7 million General Fund revenue. The Enterprise funds also added new consumers to its utility users, and saw growth despite the pandemic.

In general, the City is fiscally sound, and in good shape moving forward. This status has only strengthened since July 1, 2022. The General Fund has maintained a $2 million reserve. The two utilities have approved rate changes in preparation for the two large capital improvements that will transform its water and sewer systems.

The Budget is on-line virtually at this link:
https://city-san-juan-bautista-ca-budget-book.cleargov.com/5627/introduction/transmittal-letter In California, local governments are legally required to adopt their budgets before July 1 of each year (absent urgent circumstances). But the work of the City continues up until that date under the old Budget, so the budget presented in May is based on projections (rather than “actuals”) for revenues and expenses for its fourth quarter. Now that the assumptions made in April-June 2022 have been tested and verified, adjustments can be made, any surplus funds could be added to reserves or both. This is the place where the new budget begins.

There are two kinds of City budgets: operations maintenance and capital improvements. The operations budget are those revenues and funds used for the day-today operations of the city and its utility services. They include major City contracts including Fire, Sheriff, water and wastewater operators. The budgets start anew each fiscal year.

The second type is the “CIP Budget” where Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) are scheduled for implementation and payment. These Budgets may carry over from year to year depending on the type of project being completed. Last year, it was anticipated that both Verutti Park and Franklin Park would be completed by June 30, 2022. But unforeseen logistical issues dragged the final completion dates well into the fall of 2022. The $18 million sewer force main project initiated its designed in 20/21, will be bid this fiscal year and will be completed by June 30, 2024, spanning four maybe five fiscal years. Maintenance for these completed CIP’s has to appear in the Operations budget. Because special studies may also span more than one year, they are occasionally accounted for in the CIP.

DISCUSSION:

As seen in the Table of Contents, the first 21 pages of the FY 22/23 Budget includes the City Manager’s transmittal letter, demographics, organizational chart, strategic plan, priorities and issues, personnel changes and the CIP. The transmittal letter is written last, after the public workshops have ended and the final draft is prepared. The personnel changes (if any) and organizational chart are next to last. Demographics of the City are generated from the US Census.

Item: 7.D
City Council Meeting
February 21, 2023
3 Now is the time to consider an update and proposed changes needed to the CIP. With the actual establishment of a new strategic plan on the horizon, the Mid-Year Budget review is also the best time to consider priorities and issues.

The second attachment to this report is a narrative describing the City’s “Priorities and Issues” from the existing Budget. This five-page narrative provides a detailed description of the City’s most important issues that were considered last spring. For the past several years, after the pandemic and working to resolving the City’s water and wastewater issues, three priorities surfaced: 1) Urban Growth Boundary/Sphere of Influence, 2) Public Safety, and 3) Third Street Master Plan. Last year, consideration to develop a Recreation Program was added.

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
Soon after President Biden was elected, Congress approved as the American Rescue Plan, a relief plan that among many things, includes help for local governments that suffered from the impacts of the pandemic. The City received $500,000 in two distributions; half in FY 21/22 and half in FY 22/23. These funds are intended to repay the City for lost General Fund revenues, mostly lost sales tax. The City Council has great discretion for the use of these funds, and approved the “ARP” budget for 9-different projects including issues related to the pandemic, the joint use of school property for recreation, minor park improvements, the Public Safety Initiative and the Third Stret Master Plan. In the attached Narrative on page 2, the beginning of these considerations is described, and in Exhibit C to the attached Resolution, there is a summary of the current status. Only one change is recommended. The joint-use fencing project is completed and was $8,520 under budget. The Resolution recommends adding this balance to CIP 23-03, the Luck Park Historical Improvements. These funds additional funds are needed to asses concerns following a recent inspection of the Luck Gas Station, and surrounding grounds with the Assistant City Manager and Assistant City Engineer. In addition to ADA improvements for better access to the Luck Gas Station, the building itself needs a structural assessment.

THREE INITIATIVES
Each of the three initiatives were assigned Sub-Committees or “Ad-Hoc Committees.” All three have evolved into standing committees; Public Safety Committee, Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee (related to the Third Street Master plan), and the UGB/SOI Ad Hoc Committee. This is no longer an “ad hoc” or temporary committee having recently been determined to be subject to the Brown Act like other standing committees (to be subsequently formalized by the City Council). While the EDCAC continues to meet, and eventually will focus on Third Streets future, the Public Safety Committee and UGB/SOI Sub Committee have not met because two of their appointed seats were vacant. Approaching the November 2022 election, all these two Committees were in a holding pattern. The City was voting for three new Councilmembers, in need of re-appointing 4-new HRB/Planning Commissioners. Now the Committees have been re-formed and are ready to move forward again.

Item: 7.D
City Council Meeting
February 21, 2023
4 URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY/SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AD-HOC COMMITTEE The “UGB/SOI Committee” is now populated by two Councilmembers Freels and Morris-Lopez, and two Commissioners DeVries and Medeiros. Applications are open for the “At Large” member with at least two citizens expressing interest. During that time, staff has written letters to property owners adjacent to the City boundary inviting them to meet and discuss their future visions for their interest. A summary of these meetings was provided to the City Council and the new Planning Commission.

On the future agenda for this Committee includes the following:

Formalize the Committee as a “Standing Committee;”
Receive staff feedback on the many property owner interviews that have occurred; Consider amending the current draft City SOI Map;
Consider a third letter to invite property owners to a last and final discussion about the proposed SOI
Consider other County/City examples and agree to a definition of UGB, and Greenbelt; Consider the draft Community Plan and future of the “Alameda” between 156 and Anza Trail and development north of San Juan Hollister Road
Recommend action for the PC and CC to consider in regards to next stepsApprove/Amend the draft “Community Plan” Final SOI (UGB?) map
Recommendation to LAFCO
Municipal Services Report
CEQA work- EIR- General Plan EIR Amendment
County support for Greenbelts
County Property Tax Sharing Agreement(s)
Pending Annexation Applications
The City Council over three years, has budgeted from the General Fund $110,000 (understated in as $100,000 in the attached “Priorities and Issues” from the Budget), and spent $6,800 not including staff time. It has also budgeted $160,000 from the State SB2 Grant, and has spent $133,350. Of $270,000, $129,850 remains.

THIRD STREET MASTER PLAN
The Third Street Master Plan has evolved slowly but effectively as certain critical components are brought together to provide an inclusive community based 10-20 year plan to guide Third Street’s future. Once the critical concepts are considered, they need to come together into comprehensive plan that will include downtown as a destination, managing its traffic circulation, housing and mixed-use opportunities, integration with critical partners to include the Historical Society, Mission, State Parks and School District, parking, public art and amenities, and sustainable business owner and property owner involvement, representation and “ownership.” Item: 7.D
City Council Meeting
February 21, 2023
5 The implementation strategy of the Third Street Master plan will identify several different publicly owned improvements ranging from storm water systems, to street lights, trees, landscapes and furniture. Many of these amenities and design guidelines are already defined and need to be integrated into the new comprehensive Plan. The property owners and business owners will formalize a structured City supported “District.” This district will be charged in part, to maintain these special improvements that are above and beyond the City’s regular responsibilities for its infrastructure.

The Active Transportation Plan (“ATP”) scheduled for approval on this agenda, includes several significant recommendations focused on downtown. Once approved, it will serve a conceptual tool and grant writing tool to help pay for future public engagement focused on developing into the Third Street Master Plan. To that end, also on this agenda, is the proposed grant application to consider a transportation hub on the Alameda as recommended in both the General Plan and ATP. The hard work now completed by the community through its direct engagement in the recommendations of the ATP are just the beginning of many considerations including the future of Third Street Master defined by its Master Plan. The Economic Development Citizen’s Advisory Committee will also have a significant role to paly as these plans become better defined, by implementing tools to retain, attract and grow the businesses and create jobs in the City.

The Third Street Master Plan has received $100,000 from FY 21/22 General Fund, and another $115,000 this fiscal year from the American Rescue Plan, for a total of $215,000. Nothing was spent on this initiative this year while the City completed its ATP funded by a separate $250,000 state grant.

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
The work of the Public Safety Committee evolved after 18-months of regular meetings as an AdHoc Committee, to becoming a Council Standing Committee that last met September. Its membership is changing and will resume quarterly meetings the first week in March.

The PSC recommended and received the budget and Sheriff’s approval to hire a second dedicated deputy this past year. On August 16, 2022, Resolution 2022-66 was adopted by the Council and a press release was issued August 24, 2022. However, the City was advised by the Sheriff that due to staffing challenges, this position will be (has been) difficult to fill and remains vacant.

The City Manager has met with the Sheriff Department for a six-month period ending in December, 2022. These monthly meetings have focused on the role of the City and the Sheriff in SJB. The City Manager is responsible to enforce every City law. So the City is seeking clarification concerning which laws the Sherriff does not enforce. These include animal regulation, fireworks and several other laws that are not typically enforced by code enforcement that is focused on land use violations. Technology, including cameras has bene discussed. But action is slow. In the mean-time, the City has been informed that the Sheriff contract needs to Item: 7.D

6 re-negotiated. One meeting occurred last fall. Since that time, new vendors for camera services have been identified.

The City brought on a new private security company June 4, 2022. The implementation of this new contract includes parking enforcement, and administrative citation enforcement.

The City of Hollister has re-started the “Fire Advisory Committee,” represented by the Mayor and Councilmember Freels. At their last meeting held Thursday February 16, 2022, the County Office of Emergency Services announced that they had been awarded a $150,000 grant to explore the feasibility of forming a Fire District.

At its January 24, 2023 Council meeting the City Council approved a $60,000 consultant agreement with CityGate. CityGate has a strong public safety team include a retired undersheriff and fire chief, to help position the City strongly as these large initiatives move forward.

The Public Safety Initiative was budgeted $1,000 from the general fund in FY 21/22, and another $100,000 from ARP fund this fiscal year. It has not spent any of the $200,0000 allocated.

RECREATION COORDINATOR
The City budgeted for a part-time recreation coordinator position at Mid-Year. This position is proposed to be compensated at $26 per hour, and for six months would cost $27,000. The EDCAC has made great progress exploring the potential and needs for recreational programs.

Survey results and handouts from the January meeting were shared with the City Council. They have at least one more community workshop to complete in April. Staff will return to the March Council meeting with a job description and compensation plan. By March, the City will be working on the Community Hall and planning for summer recreation programs.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The City’s CIP grew seven times larger from FY 21/22 ($3.7 million) to FY 22/23 ($22 million) by adding the $18 million sewer force main. Without this project, it grew by 10% to $4.1 million. The CIP and the status of its 32 Projects is provided as Exhibit D to the attached Resolution.

Of the 32 CIP’s identified for FY 22/23, the City is actively moving forward with and/or completed 15 of them. Two additional park projects were not completed as anticipated by June 30, 2022, and have had to be carried forward into the FY as well (17 projects this year).

Completed projects include Franklin and Verutti Parks, the ATP, the Joint School Use Project (fencing), Water and Sewer rate studies. Projects moving forward include the “Pavement Management Plan,” (street and sidewalk repairs) at an estimated cost of $1.6 million, the acoustics at the Community Hall, Urban Growth Boundary Committee, Public Safety Initiative Item: 7.D
City Council Meeting

7 and Third Street Master Plan (Multi-Model Hub grant application). The Hwy 156 Right Turn Lane is related to the new Gas Station at the Alameda. It is also moving ahead, and is paid for by the developer.

The sewer force main is now completely funded by $8 million in state and federal grants, and a low interest loan of $10 million. The debt service for this loan is well below the amount anticipated in the sewer rate increase, which will hopefully result is slower than expected rate increases in subsequent years. The project is being bid for construction in the next 45-60 days, and these prices will be ultimate driver in making these decisions. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 22, and last until June 2024.

RECOMMENDED MID YEAR ADJUSTMENTS
Exhibit C to the attached Resolution includes two tables. One is a summary of the use of the American Rescue Plan funds of $500,000 from FY 21/22 and FY 22/23. The second Table is a request for increased budgets in 3 CIP projects, and 5 new CIP projects.

The three projects requested for increases include Third Street Transformation Initiative, in the Amount of $350,000. This is a grant application due in March as described in detail in a separate report to the Council on this Agenda. The second is an increase to the Luck Park Historical Improvement budget using ARP funds left from the Joint Use/Fence project. The City needs to complete a structural assessment of the historic Luck Gas Station. The Housing Element had a $25,000 budget but needs to be fully funded and start as soon as possible to meet the December deadline. This $150,000 request is from the General Funds. According to AMBAG, the State “REAP2” grant funds can only be used to implement the new Housing Element once it is completed.

Two of the five new projects are familiar. They include the retainer for the Historic Preservation expert Meg Clovis. Her services include an assessment of the City’s preservation efforts, and recommendations for improvements. She has also reviewed several tenant improvement projects and historic signs. The second is the CityGate strategic planning and organization review study.

The three brand new projects include fumigation of the Library and Community Hall, two new PC’s for the Library, and City Hall interior design improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Of the $685,000 proposed increase to the CIP, $350,000 are Grant funded. The General Fund surplus estimated to be $435,000 will be used to cover the $415,000 needed for these projects, mostly attributable to the Housing Element. ARP funds will use the existing balance to complete two projects, and the enterprise funds will help pay for a portion of the Strategic Plan.

Priorities and Issues for Fiscal Year 22/23 1
PRIORITIES AND ISSUES FOR FISCAL YEAR 22/23
The City’s budget is based on its evolving Strategic Plan, adopted March 17, 2022, and now in its third and final year. Consistent with election cycles, a new Strategic Plan will be considered for FY 23/24 after the 2022 election this November. Pushing ahead, the City is great financial position to reach many of its long-term goals in FY 22/23.

In December, the City approved new sewer rates that include the capital cost to send its wastewater to Hollister. The design of the Force Main is 90% completed. It is scheduled to break ground this fall. If the water rates are approved in July 2022, the City will be poised to complete its new drinking water program. This project will break ground next fiscal year, and is scheduled for completion before December 2024. It consists of a 7-mile pipeline from the West Hills Treatment Plant, importing 65% of its water and blending it with City well-water.

A year ago, the City hired its Assistant City Manager Community Development Director and has re-built its short-term and long-term planning capacity. This opens the door for growth in all City programs, but especially in two of its three “Special Initiatives;” Third Street Master Plan and Sphere of Influence/urban Growth Boundary Committee. Other priorities including public safety are addressed in both the Strategic Plan and the budget in FY 21-22 are scheduled to move into high-gear in 2022/23. The City has the capacity to make these aspirations a reality.

SUMMARY
At the Mid-Year Budget review, the City budgeted for several new initiatives in relying on the American Rescue Plan to re-charge its General Fund. These one-time expenses covered COVID test, business and non-profit loans, and the focus was the joint use of the San Juan School facilities.

The City attempted to buy testing kits for its employees, and they became backordered. The order was never filled, but the Fire Department has come through with ample supply. The use of this $5,000 can be reconsidered.

Business loan applications have exceeded expectations. It needs more budget to accommodate the number of applications at $2,500 each. The project to install fencing at the school to allow for afterhours use by the public, is less than budgeted. This frees up $75,000.

Budgeting the second installment of $250,000, staff has the following recommendations that reinforce existing priorities. The track-and field project reports raising 2/3 of their goal. They have written seeking $50,000 from the City. The Luck Park master plan is complete, and the Historic Society has requested funding to enhance the preservation of Jim Jack Cabin, and landscaping for it (recommending $15,000 as “Luck Park Improvements”).

Priorities and Issues for Fiscal Year 22/23 2
The majority of the funds are targeted to the Third Street Master Plan and Public Safety initiative. All of the policy focus areas are described in detail, with a new policy area focused on community services and recreation.

Sphere of Influence/General Plan Amendment (FY 21-22 $260,000) The City is able to combine its SB2 Grant of $160,000 with the $100,000 from the General Fund set aside last year to work on a new sphere of influence.

The week of May 3rd the City conducted several stake-holder meetings, a design charette, and convened a special meeting of the City Council to receive public input on a new sphere of influence, and the possibility of amending the General Plan to include a “planning area” and “growth boundary.” The consultant team is scheduled to return at a joint City Council/Planning Commission meeting to consider the results of this intense data collection effort.

The work for SB2 Grant is time sensitive and has to be completed in September 2022. But work will continue after that. Assuming a sphere of influence is approved, it needs to be negotiated with the County. A property Priorities and Issues for Fiscal Year 22/23 3
tax-sharing agreement will be needed, based upon a newly drafted Municipal Services Report. CEQA work will be required, and then submit an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission for approval.

Third Street Master Plan, (increase from $100,000 to $215,000) A Master Plan takes into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of the current designs and infrastructure, works closely with the community and stakeholders to determine the best path forward, and then establishes a vision for the future of Third Street within a 5-10-year window. This year, the City is considering adding $115,000 to the current $100,000 budget from one-time funds available in the General Fund as a result of American Rescue Plan (“ARP”) assistance. Until this visioning process is completed, it is presumed that the Parklets would remain with annual permitting process to assure compliance with aesthetic and safety concerns. It may be that the Parklets evolve to become part of the permanent Third Street fabric, or evolve into 5- foot-wide sidewalks, allowing two-way traffic, with tables and chairs, and retail displays to use the additional space. The future of special events and other diverse uses of the public space on Third Street will be fully vetted over an 18-month study.

The newly formed Economic Development Citizens Advisory Committee is the voice of this project. It has been growing quickly. The EDCAC has a goal to form a formal business district downtown, and add structure to its policy decisions. The extension of parklets is one example of a sound policy decision coming from this new standing committee.

Public Safety Initiative, (increase from $100,000 to $200,000) Since August 2021, the Public Safety Ad-Hoc Committee consisting of Chair Mayor Jordon, Councilmember Freels, Planning Commissioner David Medeiros, Planning Commissioner Yolanda Delgado, and Committee Member (Vide Chair) At Large Rachel Ponce have met 8-times. The Committee began with an assessment of public safety components consisting of three major contracts; Sheriff, Fire, and Private Security. The role of the code enforcement functions was also reviewed.

A lot of attention was given to security cameras. The City of King City Police Chief and City Manager reported to the Committee regarding the success of their program. Staff researched King City, Soledad and Hollister. All three cities are equipped with their own police department and technical staff.

Discussions with the Sheriff’s department about implementing a security system in San Juan Bautista have been positive, but their current use of video is limited to vehicles and body-cameras. In February they hired a new dedicated IT person and the City hopes to benefit by expanding the technical capacity of both agencies to not just purchase but monitor and take full Priorities and Issues for Fiscal Year 22/23 4
advantage of a solid security cameras system in the City. At its April 2022 meeting, the Public Safety Ad-Hoc Committee recommends that another $100,000 of the American Rescue Plan dollars be allocated to double this budget from last fiscal year.

At its October 18, 2021 the Committee approved a recommendation to the City Council, and the Council adopted Resolution 2021-58 requesting the Sheriff Department to change its service delivery from random coverage to one relying on a dedicated deputy. The Sheriff implemented that request just before the Arts and Crafts Festival in March 2022 at no additional cost to the City. We are developing a “coffee with a cop” program, as well as other community-based policing ideas.

Following a review of the Code Enforcement program, the City is working to improve the tools of code enforcement for nuisance properties and parking enforcement. The City tags 3-6 vehicles per month, and has towed 4 in the past 9-months. In 2020, the City wrote 15 citations and in 2021/22 it has written 65 citations.

The City code is being improved to allow easier and more assertive enforcement for properties that are neglected and deteriorating or dilapidated.

This Ordinance will come forward in the next 60-days. Seven different parking laws are being considered as well. Three new violations concerning sidewalks and crosswalks, and improvement to parking laws for RV and boat storage and other legislative clean-up efforts.

Parking enforcement and administrative citation capabilities are being extended to private security. A new request for proposals was issued in April, and a new private security company is being considered with parking enforcement tools and experience. Bringing this skill-set to the City will greatly improve parking enforcement to the extent that a parking district can be established for the downtown.

To support this effort, the City has reviewed and doubled its capacity to enforce the payment of parking and administrative citations. “Data Ticket” was only monitoring parking tickets, and there was no follow-through on Administrative Citations. This has all been changed and upgraded now, to balance the whole enforcement matter. When needed collection agencies can intervene.

The biggest question before the City Council is the possibility of having two dedicated deputies. The General Fund revenues can support this increased expense, especially if the private security services are reduced. This would increase having a deputy in the City from 4 ten-hour shifts, to 7 ten-hour Priorities and Issues for Fiscal Year 22/23 5
shifts per week, with one overlap on Saturdays or as otherwise needed. The cost is estimated to be $150,000 annually. The cost of private security in FY 21/22 is $120,000. The City could reduce private security 50% ($60,000) and bear the burden of the extra $90,000. Staff and the Sheriff both support this move. It will be discussed by the Public Safety Ad Hoc Committee in May and June.

COMMUNITY SERVICES INITIATIVE (NEW IN 2022)
Staff has presented on several occasions the concept of adding at least a parttime community services coordinator position. The City is actively expanding recreation and community service facilities. These include the improving the acoustics in the Community Hall and opening it during the week for senior citizen services and other opportunities. It also includes the work started at Mid-Year budget towards the joint use of the San Juan School, its basketball courts and future track-and-field. Within the next few months, staff will receive a joint use agreement from the School District. Once executed, fencing will be quickly installed that will allow the school facilities to be open when the school is not. Maintenance staff will be on-board for the weekend coverage to help open and secure the facility. The use of Luck Park can also be expanded.

In addition to recreational concerns, the position can help with several other needs. It can bring back the Youth Commission. This Commission has been shut-down since COVID and staff does not currently have the capacity to oversee it. It can take the lead in helping coordinate community events. And very importantly, it can help organize community volunteers to serve the community be helping with City and community activities. It takes a reliable person to staff this position and consistently provide time and energy to these efforts to make this work. This part-time position is currently in the budget.
