FROM: Emily Jackson, Finance Director
Prepared By: Brent Taylor – Financial Analyst, Infrastructure Finance SUBJECT: ANNUAL SPECIAL TAX LEVY REPORT FOR THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO 2019-1 (SAN LUIS RANCH) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the CFD No. 2019-1 (San Luis Ranch) Tax Report FY 2025-26.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The San Luis Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2025-2026) (Attachment A) covers all parcels of land within the boundaries of the City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 (San Luis Ranch). The special tax attributed to each parcel was computed pursuant to the Amended and Restated Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manor of Collection of Special Tax (“RMA”) as approved by Council in Resolution No. 11233.
The San Luis Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2024-2025) (Attachment A) is divided into four chapters: (1) An Introduction, which describes the purpose of the CFD and structure of the report, (2) The Taxable Land Uses, which describes the different types of land uses within the boundaries of the CFD, (3) Annual CFD Costs, which determines the expected annual expenditures of the CFD, and (4) Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax and Special Tax Levy for FY 2025 - 2026, which determines the maximum amount of special tax for each parcel and the amount of the levy to submit to the County for each parcel.
Each fiscal year, the District Administrator, Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), calculates the maximum amount of special tax revenue that may be collected from all taxable parcels in the CFD. Since the district is currently in construction phases, the RMA specifies that the levy for each fiscal year is to be based on the total number of building permits issued as of May 1st each year. As of May 1, 2025, the City had issued a total of 577 building permits since the start of the project (198 for low-density, 83 for medium density, 80 townhomes, 96 condominiums, and 120 efficiency units). Tax-exempt parcels consist of 22 Workforce/ Affordable Units, therefore the total number of units taxed will be 555. All permits for the residential portion of the project have been issued and all taxable parcels will now be included in the levy going forward.
Item 6c
Each year the District Administrator works with City Staff to determine the Annual Costs of the CFD. Expected costs of the CFD for fiscal year 2025-2026 are $1,368,148.96, which includes principal and interest payments on the associated Bonds, CFD Administrator Fee, Trustee Fee, City Staff Costs, and Pay-as-you-Go costs for Authorized Facilities. These amounts are estimated costs and if the actual costs are less than the actual special tax revenue, then the special tax revenue not expended will be held in the City’s San Luis Ranch CFD Fund for subsequent years’ obligations.
Special tax revenues collected, that are not otherwise needed to fund the administration of the CFD, debt service, and the replenishment of the bond reserve fund, are allocated to pay-as-you-go (“PAYGO”) facilities as outlined in the Acquisition Agreement approved by Council on October 20, 2020, with Resolution No. 11176. Half of the special tax revenue classified as PAYGO must be used to reimburse the developer for the documented shortfall between the anticipated cost of the authorized public infrastructure built and the bonds’ net proceeds. The other half is disbursed to the City for reimbursement of authorized costs incurred on behalf of the district. For FY 2025-2026, the City will levy all parcels at the maximum rate to generate PAYGO revenue as specified in the RMA. Taxing all parcels for FY 2025-2026 at the allowable maximum rate will generate $216,615.01 special tax revenue that is not required for other authorized costs of the CFD. This amount will be used to fund authorized and documented expenditures and provide reimbursement to Developer and to the City. This amount is paid out to the Developer and the City in September of the subsequent fiscal year, after all other annual costs of the CFD have been completed.
By allocating 100% of the assigned maximum special tax for all taxable parcels, the total special tax levy for FY 2025-2026 will be $1,368,148.96. The FY 2025-2026 levy was submitted to the county on July 16, 2025, by the CFD Administrator.
POLICY CONTEXT
On July 18, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10822 certifying the Final EIR and Approving the San Luis Ranch project plan which included a specific plan amendment, general plan amendment, and an annexation. On August 21, 2018, the City Council adopted Ordinance No.1649 approving a development agreement with MI San Luis Ranch. An evaluation of the project's consistency with General Plan policies is discussed at length in Section 4.9 of the certified Final EIR.
The Specific Plan required that funding mechanisms be included to ensure that public infrastructure was coordinated with future development under the plan. The formation of a Communities Facilities District (CFD) was consistent with this requirement. On April 16, 2019, the Council adopted Resolution No. 10998 to form the City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District 2019-1 (San Luis Ranch). As enabled by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, a CFD allows a local jurisdiction to levy a special tax within a specified area to pay for public services and/or infrastructure needed within that area. Over the past three decades, CFDs have become a common mechanism for cities to fund services and finance development -related infrastructure. The use of a CFD, in this case, is consistent with the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan and the General Plan.
Item 6c
The General Plan provides specific policies related to the funding of infrastructure:
1.13.6. Required Plans: The City shall not allow the development of any newly annexed private land until the City has adopted a specific or development plan for land uses, open space protection, roads, utilities, the overall pattern of subdivision, and financing of public facilities for the area.
1.13.9. Costs of Growth: The City shall require the costs of public facilities and services needed for new development be borne by the new development unless the community chooses to help pay the costs for a certain development to obtain community-wide benefits. The City shall consider a range of options for financing measures so that new development pays its fair share of costs of new services and facilities which are required to serve the project, and which are reasonably related to the new growth attributable to the development.
This report and the levying of the special tax are consistent with these General Plan policies and with the City’s local goals and policies for Community Facilities Districts.
DISCUSSION
Background
The San Luis Ranch Development Agreement was approved with Ordinance No. 1649 on August 21, 2018, and provided the basis for the formation of the San Luis Ranch CFD.
On April 2, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10998 establishing the San Luis Ranch Community Facilities District (2019-1). On April 16, 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1661, approving the levy of a special tax on an annual basis and solely within the boundaries of the San Luis Ranch CFD.
Subsequently, on April 20, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11239 which approved Resolution No 11233 authorizing a change to the RMA to incur bonded indebtedness in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $25,000,000 secured by the levy of the special tax on parcels within the district. As one of the required steps for the approval of bond issuance, on May 5, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1697 which replaced and superseded Ordinance No 1661 and authorizes the levy of a special tax for the fiscal year 2021-22 and all subsequent fiscal years and is solely applicable within the boundaries of the San Luis Ranch CFD.
The CFD for San Luis Ranch is authorized to levy a special tax within the district to fund a variety of administrative costs and costs of facilities which benefit the project. The special tax revenue generated by the annual levies is to be used on Debt Service, Administration, and Trustee which are identified in the Amended and Restated Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax (RMA). In addition, the special tax revenue may be used for Authorized Facilities listed in Exhibit A of the Acquisition Agreement. These authorized facilities include transportation improvements, potable and non-potable water system improvements, drainage system improvements, wastewater system improvements, solid waste improvements, park and landscape corridor improvements, open space improvements, and utilities which were required as a condition of the City’s approval of the development.
Item 6c
The City has already established the necessary accounts with the County of San Luis Obispo Tax Collector to administer the special tax within the San Luis Ranch CFD. All necessary documentation and information were provided to the County of San Luis Obispo Tax Collector in proper form and required timelines to bill and collect the special tax on the secured property tax roll of the County beginning in FY 2021-22. The City is currently on a teeter plan with the County of San Luis Obispo, which ensures 100% of the Special Tax Revenue levied will be provided to City regardless of if the County can collect the full amount or not. Collection of delinquent special taxes is pursued only by the County and since City is entitled to the full levy amount through the teeter plan, there is no concern regarding a lack of revenue from delinquent parcels to fund the annual costs identified each year. This does not exclude the City’s right to utilize any other lawful means of billing, collecting, and enforcing the special tax, including direct billing, supplemental billing, and, when lawfully available, judicial foreclosure of the special tax levy.
The City of San Luis Obispo has established the San Luis Ranch CFD Fund which is managed and controlled by the Community Services Group and Finance Department.
This fund was established to receive revenue from Special Taxes and for paying expenditures of the CFD. This fund is budgeted annually through the City’s Financial Plan cycle and generally follows the budget identified in the San Luis Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2025-2026) Attachment A) being presented to Council with this item. All related unspent bond proceeds are accounted for in the CFD Fund but are held in a Trust Account and managed by a Trustee per the terms of the Bond Indenture.
Since the first year of special tax collection, the CFD Administrator prepares the Annual Tax Report which is the basis for the CFD annual budget and annual tax levy. The Annual Tax Report is presented to the City Council as a Consent Agenda item for purposes of transparency and accountability to the public. Historically, the City Council has Received and Filed this report each year since the first year in which special taxes were levied.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Annual special tax reporting for the City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District No. 2019-1 ( San Luis Ranch) is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Information Collection) and the action otherwise qualifies for a "general rule" exemption according to Section 15061(b)(3), which covers activities "where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." Annual reporting does not change any aspect of the approved San Luis Ranch project, nor does it introduce the potential for any new environmental impacts.
Under Section 15306, the Secretary for the California Natural Resources Agency has concluded that “basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource" are exempt from CEQA. Therefore, the proposed action is categorically exempt from further analysis under CEQA.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
The City of San Luis Obispo (City) created a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) for the San Luis Ranch development (Project), located in the San Luis Ranch Specific Plan (SLRSP) area, located west of US Highway 101 in the southwest quadrant of the City. The CFD was formed in March 2019 to create a land-secured funding mechanism to help fund construction of authorized facilities of the CFD.
At the time of formation of the CFD, development plans for single-family residential products were fully developed, but the development plan for multifamily residential uses was still being evaluated by the developer. In addition, the location and number of affordable housing units (which are to be tax-exempt under the CFD) were being finalized between the developer and the City. A Change Proceeding for the CFD was started in the spring of 2021 to amend the Rate and Method of Apportionment to reflect changes being made to the scope of the special tax related to final taxable unit counts for multifamily residential and assignment of affordable units to large lot parcels in the Project.
The boundaries of the proposed CFD are coterminous with the SLRSP. Overall, the Project area includes approximately 131.4 acres approved for up to 577 dwelling units and commercial development, including a 200-room hotel, 100,000 square feet of office space, and 150,000 square feet of retail and service commercial uses. The Project includes 7.8 acres of parks, waterways, and other interior open space. There will be 52.3 acres of farmed agricultural land in the Project area.
EPS prepared the “San Luis Ranch Financing Plan” (Financing Plan) in June 2018, which addressed how the infrastructure needed to serve the Project will be funded. The Financing Plan identified total infrastructure improvement costs of $54.2 million, of which approximately $22.8 million is attributable to the Project as a “fair share” cost allocation for required infrastructure.
Purpose of the CFD
The CFD was formed to fund major road improvements, potable and non-potable water system improvements, drainage system improvements, wastewater system improvements, solid waste improvements, park and paseo improvements, open space improvements, utilities, and other authorized facilities under the MelloRoos Act, serving the Project as a condition of the City’s approval of the development.
CFD NO. 2019-1 (SAN LUIS RANCH) TAX REPORT FY 2025-26
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 2 Introduction
The CFD is authorized to issue up to $25 million in bonds. CFD bonds were issued in June 2021 in the amount of $19,660,000. It is anticipated that more than one CFD bond issuance will occur as the Project is built out.
The CFD was authorized to begin collecting the special tax in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 19. FY 2021-22 was the first year in which the special tax was levied against taxable parcels of the CFD.
Map 1 shows the proposed boundaries of the CFD.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 4 Taxable CFD Land Uses
2. Taxable CFD Land Uses
When the CFD was formed, it was intended that only market-rate residential land uses would be subject to the special tax. The CFD is planned to allow development of 577 residential units. Included in these 577 residential units are 22 workforce/affordable units, which will remain tax-exempt if they maintain their deed-restricted affordable status. Residential uses occupy approximately 29.55 acres of the approximately 131 total acres encompassing the CFD.
CFD land uses are shown in Table 1, which identifies the Lot Numbers for each land use category. The Lot Numbers correspond to those numbers shown in Map 2 and Map 3. There are 198 low-density residential (LDR) units and 83 mediumdensity residential (MDR) units that have been created by the recordation of final maps. Lot Numbers for these residential uses are shown in Map 2.
High-density residential (HDR) units are defined as townhomes, condominiums, and efficiency units. These land use categories are assigned to Lot Numbers shown in Map 3. It is anticipated that there will be 80 townhomes, 96 condominiums, and 120 efficiency units constructed in the CFD.
In addition to the taxable uses discussed above, the CFD includes approximately
18.58 acres of nonresidential uses (commercial) and 81.16 acres of public uses.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 13 Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax and Special Tax Levy
4. Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax
and Special Tax Levy for FY 2025 26
Each fiscal year, the Administrator will calculate the maximum amount of special tax revenue that may be collected from all taxable parcels in the CFD. First, the Administrator will increase the maximum special tax category for each tax category by the Tax Escalation Factor of 2 percent.
The annual assignment of the maximum special tax and determination of the special tax levy for FY 2025-26 are discussed below.
Assignment of the Special Tax
Each fiscal year, the Administrator assigns the special tax to all taxable parcels in the CFD. For LDR and MDR parcels, a minimum annual special tax and maximum annual special tax are assigned. For the 3 HDR categories, the minimum and maximum annual special taxes are the same.
Tax Categories
Table 4 shows the tax categories defined by the RMA, with the stated minimum and maximum annual special taxes. The first year in which the special tax was authorized was FY 2018-19 (as shown in Table 4). The minimum and maximum annual special tax is increased by the Tax Escalation Factor of 2 percent each fiscal year through FY 2025 26 for each tax category.
For LDR and MDR tax categories, 2 tax categories are established. For LDR, minimum annual special tax rates are the same for homes smaller than 1,850 building square feet and for those equal to or greater than 1,850 building square feet. For MDR, minimum annual special tax rates are the same for homes smaller than 1,600 building square feet and for those equal to or greater than 1,600 building square feet.
A higher maximum annual special tax rate is assigned to LDR and MDR parcels that have homes constructed that fall into the higher range of building square footages. Because the building square footage for a structure is not known until a building permit is issued, LDR and MDR parcels are taxed at the minimum annual special tax until a building permit has been issued, establishing the total building square footage for a parcel.

CFD NO. 2019-1 (SAN LUIS RANCH) TAX REPORT FY 2025-26
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 15 Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax and Special Tax Levy Because the issuance of the initial building permit establishes the maximum annual square footage for a parcel, it is not intended that future additions to a residential structure will trigger a future increase in the maximum annual special tax established with the initial building permit.
HDR parcels will not see an increased maximum annual special tax because of the issuance of a building permit.
Assignment of Special Tax Priorities
The special tax levy is allocated to parcels based on the prioritization of land use development categories. The special tax allocation priorities are as follows:
• Developed Parcel—a parcel with an issued building permit. • Final Map Parcel—a parcel created by the recordation of a final map. • Large Lot Parcel—a parcel shown in Map 2 or Map 3, as identified by Lot Number.
• Undeveloped Parcel—a parcel not otherwise defined above.
Table 5 shows the current development status of parcels by tax category and shows each tax category (LDR, MDR, and the 3 HDR categories), acreage, number of total units assigned to each tax category in the RMA, number of building permits issued, final maps lots, and undeveloped lots. The RMA specifies that building permits issued through May 1 of the previous fiscal year will become developed parcels for the upcoming fiscal year.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 17 Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax and Special Tax Levy There are building permits issued as of May 1, 2025, for the construction of 577 residential units. LDR has 198 building permits, and MDR has 83 building permits.
Note that 6 of the building permits for MDR were issued as Workforce/Affordable Units, and 6 of the building permits for LDR were issued for Workforce/Affordable Units. Such parcels are tax-exempt.
Building permits have been issued for construction of 80 Townhome units (2 are Workforce/Affordable Units), 96 Condominium units (2 are Workforce/Affordable Units), and 120 Efficiency units (6 are Workforce/Affordable Units).
In total, 577 units have been created by issued building permits, with 540 of these units being taxable.
Allocation of the Special Tax for FY 2025 26
Table 6 shows the FY 2025-26 minimum and maximum annual special taxes from Table 4 and the taxable units assigned by tax priority and category. The number of units for each category comes from Table 5.
By allocating 100 percent of the assigned special tax for all developed parcels, a total special tax levy of $1,368,148.96 would be assigned for developed parcels.
Total special tax revenue available from final map parcels is $0. Total special tax revenue from large lot parcels is $0.
To generate the special tax revenues needed to fund Net Annual Costs of $1,368,148.96, Developed Parcels will need to be levied at 100 percent of the maximum annual special tax (generating $1,368,148.96).
The total recommended special tax levy for FY 2025-26 is $1,368,148.96.

RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Avila Ranch CFD No. 2017-1 (Services) – FY 2025-26 Tax Report
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The Avila Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2025-2026) (Attachment A) identifies all parcels of land within the boundaries of the City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Avila Ranch). The special tax attributed to each parcel was computed pursuant to the Amended Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax as approved by Council in Resolution No. 10844.
The Avila Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2025 - 2026) (Attachment A) is divided into four chapters: (1) An Introduction, which describes the purpose of the CFD and structure of the report, (2) The Taxable Land Uses, which describes the different types of land uses within the boundaries of the CFD, (3) Annual CFD Costs, which determines the expected annual expenditures of the CFD, and (4) Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax, and Special Tax levy for FY 2025-2026, which determines the maximum amount of special tax for each parcel and the amount of the levy to submit to the County for each parcel.
Each fiscal year, the District Administrator, Economic and Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS), calculates the maximum amount of special tax revenue that may be collected from all taxable parcels in the CFD. Since the district is currently in construction phases, the Amended Rate, Method of Apportionment, and Manner of Collection of Special Tax (“RMA”) specifies that the levy for each fiscal year is to be based on the total number of building permits issued, as of July 1st of each year. As of July 1, 2025, the City had issued a total of 210 building permits since the start of the project, 27 for Single Family Residential units under 1,500 sq. ft. and 183 for Single Family Residential units over 1,500 sq. ft. Properties with smaller than 1500 sq. ft. are taxed at a lower rate than properties greater than 1500 sq. ft.
Item 6d
Each year the District Administrator works with city staff to determine the Annual Costs of the CFD. Expected Service Costs1 of the CFD for fiscal year 2025-2026 are expected to be $697,985 which includes maintenance and lighting, flood and storm protection services, police protection services, fire services, and paramedic services. There are no expected facilities costs of the CFD for fiscal year 2025-2026, however, the Facilities Special Tax levy will still be included at the maximum allowed rate in the amount of $69,266. Since there are no expected facilities costs for FY 2025-2026, the City will hold the revenue generated from the Infrastructure Special Tax for facilities needed in subsequent years. Likewise, any Services Special Tax revenue not expended throughout the fiscal year will be held in the City’s Avila Ranch CFD Fund for subsequent years’ obligations.
By allocating 100 percent of the assigned maximum special tax for all developed parcels, the total special tax levy to be submitted to the County for the FY 2025-2026 will be $767,251, which is comprised of $697,985 for Service Costs and $69,266 for Facilities Costs. The CFD Administrator submitted the tax levy to the County on 7/16/2025.
POLICY CONTEXT
On September 19, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10832 certifying the Final Environmental Report for the Project and CEQA findings for the Avila Ranch project and on October 3, 2017, Ordinance No. 1639 was adopted approving the Development Agreement between the City of San Luis Obispo and Avila Ranch, LLC. The City Council agreed the Development Agreement was consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the General Plan of the City of San Luis Obispo, and the Airport Area Specific Plan.
The adopted Development Agreement required the establishment of a funding mechanism to cover the City’s General Fund shortfall for serving the Avila Ranch development. To be consistent with this requirement, the Avila Ranch Communities Facilities District (CFD) was formed with the adoption of Resolution No. 10844 on October 24, 2017. A CFD, as enabled by the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, allows a local jurisdiction to levy a special tax within a specified area to pay for public services, public facilities, and/or maintenance of infrastructure needed within that area. Over the past three decades, CFDs have become a common mechanism for cities to fund services and finance development-related infrastructure, and the use of a CFD, in this case, is consistent with the City’s General Plan.
1 This is the maximum amount of Service Costs that can be collected pursuant to the RMA and is not necessarily the same as the total cost to provide these services.
Item 6d
The General Plan provides specific policies related to the funding of infrastructure noted below:
1.13.6. Required Plans: The City shall not allow the development of any newly annexed private land until the City has adopted a specific development plan for land uses, open space protection, roads, utilities, the overall pattern of subdivision, and financing of public facilities for the area.
1.13.9. Costs of Growth: The City shall require the costs of public facilities and services needed for new development to be borne by the new development unless the community chooses to help pay the costs for a certain development to obtain community-wide benefits. The City shall consider a range of options for financing measures so that new development pays its fair share of costs of new services and facilities which are required to serve the project, and which are reasonably related to the growth attributable to the development.
This report and the levying of the special tax are consistent with these General Plan policies and with the City’s Local Goals and Policies for Community Facilities Districts.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Avila Ranch Development Agreement was approved with Ordinance No. 1639 on September 19, 2017, and provided the basis for the formation of the Avila Ranch CFD.
On October 28, 2017, the City Council, as the legislative body of the CFD, adopted Resolution No. 10844 establishing the Avila Ranch Community Facilities District No. 2017-1). On November 21, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1642, approving the levy of a special tax on an annual basis and solely within the boundaries of the Avila Ranch CFD.
The CFD for Avila Ranch is authorized to levy a special tax within the district to fund various municipal services and public infrastructure / facilities within its boundaries. The special tax revenue generated by the annual levy is to be used on authorized costs identified in Exhibit B of the RMA. Examples of these costs include municipal services (electricity, landscape maintenance), Public Safety (Police, Ambulance, Paramedic), authorized infrastructure/ facilities, administrative expenses, and incidental expenses.
Item 6d
The City has already established the necessary accounts with the County of San Luis Obispo Tax Collector to administer the special tax within the Avila Ranch CFD. All necessary documentation and information were provided to the County of San Luis Obispo Tax Collector in proper form and required timelines to bill and collect the special tax on the secured property tax roll of the County beginning in FY 2022-23. The City is currently on a teeter plan with the County of San Luis Obispo, which ensures 100% of the Special Tax Revenue levied will be provided to City regardless of if the County can collect the full amount or not. Collection of delinquent special taxes is pursued only by the County and since City is entitled to the full levy amount through the teeter plan, there is no concern regarding a lack of revenue from delinquent parcels to fund the annual costs identified each year. This does not exclude the City’s right to utilize any other lawful means of billing, collecting, and enforcing the special tax, including direct billing, supplemental billing, and, when lawfully available, judicial foreclosure of the special tax lien.
The City of San Luis Obispo has established the Avila Ranch CFD Fund which is managed and controlled by City Finance Department. This fund was established to receive revenue from Special Taxes and for paying expenses of the CFD. This fund is budgeted annually through the City’s Financial Plan cycle and generally follows the budget identified in the Avila Ranch CFD Annual Tax Report (FY 2025-2026) (Attachment A) presented to the City Council with this item.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Annual special tax reporting for the City of San Luis Obispo Community Facilities District No. 2017-1 (Avila Ranch) is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15306 (Information Collection) and the action otherwise qualifies for a "general rule" exemption according to Section 15061(b)(3), which covers activities "where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." Annual reporting does not change any aspect of the approved Avila Ranch project, nor does it introduce the potential for any new environmental impacts. Under Section 15306, the Secretary for the California Natural Resources Agency has concluded that "basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource" are exempt from CEQA. Therefore, the proposed action is categorically exempt from further analysis under CEQA.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 1 Introduction
1. Introduction
The City of San Luis Obispo (City) created a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) for the Avila Ranch development (Project), located at the northeast corner of Buckley Road and Vachell Lane. The CFD was formed in 2017 to create a land-secured funding mechanism to help fund authorized services and facilities of the CFD. The Avila Ranch Development Plan allows up to 720 dwelling units; a “Town Center” with 15,000 square feet of local-serving retail and office uses; 18 acres of pocket parks, mini-parks, and neighborhood parks; and 53 acres of open space, including riparian corridors and farmed agricultural land.
EPS prepared the “Avila Ranch Financing Plan” (Financing Plan) in August 2017, which addressed how the services and infrastructure needed to serve the Project will be funded. The Financing Plan set out the costs and cost allocations to land uses that served as the basis for maximum special tax rates established in the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA).
Purpose of the CFD
The authorized services to be funded from the levy and collection of annual special taxes include those set forth below in addition to the costs associated with collecting and administering the special taxes, annually administering the CFD, and forming the CFD.
These are the authorized services to be funded:
1. Maintenance and lighting of parks, parkways, streets, roads, and open space.
2. Flood and storm protection services, including, but not limited to, the operation and maintenance of storm drainage systems.
3. Police protection services, including, but not limited to, criminal justice services. However, criminal justice services shall be limited to providing services for jails, detention facilities, and juvenile halls.
4. Fire protection and suppression services, and ambulance and paramedic services.
5. Maintenance and operation of any real property or other tangible property with an estimated useful life of 5 or more years that is owned by the local agency or by another local agency pursuant to an agreement entered into under Section 53316.2.
AVILA RANCH CFD NO. 2017-1 (SERVICES)—FY 2025-26
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 2 Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax and Special Tax Levy The authorized facilities to be funded from the levy and collection of annual special taxes include those set forth below. These are the authorized services to be funded:
1. Local park, recreation, parkway, and open space facilities.
2. The district may also finance the construction or undergrounding of water transmission and distribution facilities, natural gas pipeline facilities, telephone lines, facilities for the transmission or distribution of electrical energy, and cable television lines to provide access to those services to customers who do not have access to those services or to mitigate existing visual blight.
3. The district may also finance the acquisition, improvement, rehabilitation, or maintenance of any real or other tangible property, whether privately or publicly owned, for flood and storm protection services, including, but not limited to, storm drainage and treatment systems and sandstorm protection systems.
4. A community facilities district may also finance the purchase, construction, expansion, improvement, or rehabilitation of any real or other tangible property with an estimated useful life of 5 years or longer or may finance planning and design work that is directly related to the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of any real or tangible property. The facilities need not be physically located in the district.
The CFD was authorized to begin collecting the special tax in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-19. FY 2025-26 will be the fourth year in which the special tax will be levied against taxable parcels of the CFD.
Structure of this Report
This report is divided into 4 chapters, including this introductory chapter, and includes Appendix A: Proposed Special Tax Levy for FY 2025-26.

4. Assignment of the Maximum Special Tax
and Special Tax Levy for FY 2025-26
Each fiscal year, the Administrator will apply the Services Special Tax Escalation Factor to the Services Special Tax to calculate the maximum amount of special tax revenue that may be collected from all taxable parcels in the CFD. First, the Administrator will increase the Services Special Tax by the Services Special Tax Escalation Factor for each tax category and will increase the Infrastructure Special Tax by the Infrastructure Special Tax Escalation Factor.
The annual assignment of the maximum special tax and determination of the special tax levy for FY 2025 26 are discussed below.
Annual Special Tax Escalation Process
Services Special Tax Escalation Factor
The Services Special Tax is escalated by the annual percentage increase in the Services Special Tax based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) (prior calendar year annual average, San Francisco, All Urban Consumers [CPI-U] Index), the CPI (prior calendar year annual average, Pacific West Cities, (All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers), or the Municipal Cost Index annual average, whichever is greater, but not exceeding 4 percent.
Table 3 shows the Services Special Tax by tax category for FY 2024 25, the escalation factor used for FY 2025 26, and the new Services Special Tax by tax category. Table 4 shows the results of the 3 indices. The Pacific West Cities, (All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers) increased by an amount greater than 4 percent. The “not-to-exceed” escalation factor of 4 percent was used as a result.

Infrastructure Special Tax Escalation Factor
The Infrastructure Special Tax Escalator is set at 2 percent annually. Table 3 shows the Infrastructure Special Tax for FY 2024-25 and the 102 percent special tax as increased for FY 2025 26.
Assignment of the Special Tax
Each fiscal year, the Administrator assigns the special tax to all taxable parcels in the CFD. Land use categories which correspond to the special tax categories include single-family, multifamily, and affordable housing uses.
Tax Categories
As building permits for residential uses are issued for parcels in the CFD, the special tax for services and infrastructure are assigned based on land use density (single-family versus multifamily use) and by building square footage of the residential units. Multifamily units will be further identified as market-rate or affordable housing.

SUBJECT: CITY-COUNTY ZONE 9 FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION
Approve an amendment to the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of San Luis Obispo and the County of San Luis Obispo, as administrator of the Zone 9 Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“Zone 9”), in order to provide funding support (reimbursement) for activities to assist in the update of the Waterway Management Plan, Volume 1 (Attachment A).
POLICY CONTEXT
Staff’s recommendation is in support of the following policy objectives:
1. Climate Adaptation and Safety Element
Policy FL-3.1: Climate-Informed Flood Management - The City shall incorporate the climate-informed flood risk modelling in flood management plans, programs, and procedures.
Policy FL-3.2: Flood Protection for New Development - The City shall ensure that all new development adheres to all provisions in Chapter 17.78 “Flood Damage Prevention” in the City’s Municipal Code, consider climate models, and update the provisions accordingly to remain consistent with any future federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
Policy FL-3.3: Flood Protection for Existing Development - The City shall continue identification and mapping of areas that are at increased flood risk from large storm events using the climate informed flood risk modeling that was developed as part of the City’s climate change vulnerability assessment.
Item 6e
Policy FL-3.5: A Resilient Flood Management System - The City shall explore opportunities to add redundancy to the city’s existing stormwater and flood management systems to mitigate impacts from increased storm intensities, as needed. To provide co-benefits to the SLO community, design flood management system redundancies to serve multiple purposes that add value to the community (e.g., detention basins that serve as parks or recreation areas). Resilient flood management projects should be prioritized in locations of the city that are the most vulnerable.
Policy FL-3.6: Regional Coordination of Flood Control - The City shall continue to coordinate with regional partners (e.g., San Luis Obispo County, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Caltrans, LOSSAN Rail Corridor Agency) on flood preparedness and flood management initiatives.
2. 2025-27 Financial Plan, Major City Goal for Open Space, Climate Action, and Resilience.
Work Program 2e: Complete the Waterway Management Plan, Volume 1 update.
DISCUSSION
Background
The San Luis Obispo County Zone 9 Flood Control and Water Conservation District was formed in 1973 in response to historic flooding events. It encompasses the entire San Luis Obispo Creek watershed and its tributaries, including within the City of San Luis Obispo. Zone 9 collects an ad valorem parcel tax and revenue is used to conduct flood control projects, as well as watershed management and enhancement projects. The County of San Luis Obispo is the administrator for Zone 9 and enjoys active participation from the appointed Advisory Committee (Committee) and regular collaboration with the City. Vice Mayor Michelle Shoresman is the City’s current representative on the Committee.
The City has an existing vegetation management and stream maintenance program where City staff time is paired with funding through Zone 9 to conduct regular assessments of flood risks, identify priority locations on a seasonal basis, and implement projects as needed. Recent flooding events that have occurred in the City and County have highlighted the need to take a watershed-based approach to flood control. Because the City has a pre-existing program, staffing, resource agency permitting knowledge, and prioritizes regional resiliency, it is desirable for the County and City to continue to collaborate and partner through the proposed amendment to the existing MOU.
The Waterway Management Plan for the San Luis Obispo Creek Watershed was certified in 2004 and Volume 1 identifies creek channel conditions and issues in the watershed.
With changed conditions in the creek and community, an update of baseline conditions in the watershed is needed. The Committee has made $200,000 available for this update and City staff will collaborate with County Zone 9 staff to determine the specific sections to be updated as well as the preferred approach to procurement of contract services to complete the update. The amendment to the MOU simply allows for any work completed by the City to be reimbursed.
Item 6e
The Committee will receive updates on the Waterway Management Plan and have opportunities to provide input at their regularly scheduled meetings. Future funding requests, if needed, for additional Waterway Management Plan updates will be submitted to the Committee, through the annual work plan process.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
The last Memorandum of Understanding (Reimbursement Agreement) was approved by the City Council on September 28, 2021. The updated Reimbursement Agreement was presented to the Zone 9 Committee and recommended for approval on September 11, 2024.
Public Engagement
The Zone 9 Flood Control Committee meetings are open to the public and the meeting agendas and minutes are available on the County of San Luis Obispo’s website. Once the update of Volume 1 is complete, staff will follow the Public Engagement and Noticing Manual to inform the community of any changes.
CONCURRENCE
The Public Works Department concurs with the recommendations in this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action or to the development of a plan as these actions do not constitute a “project” under CEQA guidelines sec. 15378. However, if recommended actions in the update of subsequent sections of the Waterway Management Plan are updated and approved, that require environmental review, they will be presented for Council’s future consideration, together with the Waterway management Plan sections, when they are completed.

Item 6e
The Zone 9 Committee’s current FY 2025-26 budget allocated to the City is $393,000 for general creek maintenance in identified priority areas. This MOU amendment provides for reimbursement to the City for an additional $200,000 of expenses related to the Waterway Management Plan update. If approved, the City’s total Zone 9 reimbursement budget will be $593,000 with up to $200,000 for the Waterway Management Plan.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council could request additional information or request changes to the Reimbursement Agreement with the County. If additional information or changes are requested, additional conversations would be held with the County to come to agreement.
2. Council could decide not to approve the update to the Reimbursement Agreement with the County. This would require the County to take on all the update work and could over-burden County staff and potentially delay the process to advance the update of the Waterway Management Plan.

SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE RENEWAL OF 10-YEAR CROSS-CONNECTION
INSPECTION SERVICES CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN
LUIS OBISPO
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the renewal of the 10-year Cross-Connection Services agreement between the County of San Luis Obispo and the City of San Luis Obispo.
POLICY CONTEXT
In 1973, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published the first comprehensive Cross-Connection Control Manual to provide public water systems with guidance for safeguarding drinking water from contamination caused by cross-connections and backflow events.
In 1984, California adopted regulatory standards for backflow prevention and crossconnection control through Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. These regulations require public water systems to protect potable water supplies from contamination, identify and mitigate cross-connection hazards, and implement and maintain a cross-connection control program.
In 2024, the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted the CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook that expands Cross-Connection Control program requirements to standardized compliance timelines, technical specifications, and the formal development of a Cross-Connection Control Plan for each public water system.
The State Water Board adopted a revised version of the Handbook on June 17, 2025, which extended some deadlines and changed some language to align with other preexisting regulations.
Item 6f
DISCUSSION
Background
A cross-connection is any point in a plumbing or water system where the potable water supply could potentially mix with contaminated water or other substances. Common examples of potential cross-connections include garden hoses submerged in pools or buckets, irrigation systems without proper safeguards, or commercial equipment connected to both potable and non-potable water lines. If not properly managed, crossconnections can lead to the introduction of harmful substances like fertilizers, bacteria, or industrial chemicals into the public water supply.
Backflows, a specific type of cross-connection, are incidents when water flows in the wrong direction, which can draw pollutants or contaminants back into the public water supply. These can occur if pressure changes in the public water system due to events such as a water main break or firefighting activity.
To reduce the likelihood of cross-connection and backflow incidents, backflow prevention assemblies are required on service connections with the highest degree of risk, including all non-residential service connections within the City. In accordance with the CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook1 , backflow assemblies are required to be tested
upon installation and annually thereafter to ensure proper functionality.
The City of San Luis Obispo’s potable water system is a public water system regulated under the California Safe Drinking Water Act and must comply with the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook, previously governed by the California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Chapter 5 – Cross-Connection Control and Backflow Prevention. These regulations mandate that all public water systems establish and maintain an effective Cross-Connection Control (CCC) Program to protect the potable water supply from contamination caused by cross-connections and backflow incidents.
To meet these requirements, the City has a service agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo that delegates the authority and responsibility for implementing and managing the CCC Program on behalf of the City. The County’s responsibilities include conducting on-site inspections to identify actual or potential cross-connections, performing hazard assessments, managing the initial and annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies, maintaining program records, and taking enforcement actions when necessary.
1 Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook:
https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/drinking_water/certlic/drinkingwater/docs/2025/crossconnection-control-policy-handbook.pdf
Item 6f
The County provides cross-connection services for multiple local water suppliers and offers a cost-effective regional approach to cross-connection control to meet these regulatory requirements. The City currently has nearly 2,000 backflow assembly devices that require annual testing and certification. The County maintains certified staff to conduct inspections, manage backflow assembly testing compliance, and maintain comprehensive testing records to ensure the protection of public health within the City of San Luis Obispo.
The 2025-2035 contract reflects the regulatory changes from Title 17 to the CrossConnection Control Policy Handbook and the associated funding requirements.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
In 2011, Council adopted the first formal contract between the County of San Luis Obispo and the City for cross-connection inspection services; however, the City has utilized the County for Cross-Connection Control services since 1978.
In 2016, the contract was renewed for an additional 10 years, with an expiration date of June 30, 2025.
Public Engagement
The Utilities Department has complied with requirements to complete a Cross Control Connection Plan and submit the Plan to the State Division of Drinking Water by July 1, 2025. This Plan outlines how the City will communicate with and provide educational material to the public regarding the dangers of cross-connections. This Plan will be publicly available through the City’s website once reviewed and approved by the State Division of Drinking Water.
CONCURRENCE
The County Environmental Health Division and the County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors concur with the contract, adopting Resolution No. 2025-145 on July 8, 2025.
The City Attorney’s office has reviewed the contract and approves as to form.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Contract for Cross-Connection Inspection Services is not a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), because the action is limited to an administrative contract renewal and does not commit the City to any actions that would have the potential to result in a direct or indirect physical change on the environment, as defined by State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Furthermore, any enforcement actions implemented by the County would be categorically exempt and would have a beneficial effect on the environment by bringing existing infrastructure into compliance with water and public health regulations, consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).
Item 6f
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2025-27
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
The City’s Water Fund has allocated $50,000 in each year of the 2025-27 Financial Plan to cover contracted service delivery associated with the state-mandated cross-connection control program. This funding supports the required inspection, backflow prevention oversight, and enforcement activities proposed to be provided by the County. Renewal of the agreement will allow the Utilities Department to continue utilizing these services with no change to the Council-approved 2025-27 Financial Plan. Contract costs are based on a published hourly-rate of $149 in FY 2025-26 for County staff per the County of San Luis Obispo Environmental Health Services Division Fee Schedule published on July 1, 2025. Overall costs generally do not exceed $50,000/year for these contracted services.
Because the services identified in this contract are required to protect public health, City staff do not recommend placing a cap on the amount of funding identified within the contract. City staff would be required to request additional funding from the City Council or find existing funds within the budget if annual costs exceed $50,000.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Council could decide not to authorize the renewal of the contract for the City’s Cross-Connection Control Program. Not authorizing the execution of this contract would require that the City conduct all backflow and cross-connection control-related services. The City does not currently have sufficient staffing resources trained and dedicated to this work. This would require that the Utilities Department hire an additional staff member to support this work, provide equipment, and an additional vehicle, which would exceed the costs that are expected to be incurred by the City through this contract. This would also leave a gap in regulatory compliance while the recruitment was conducted and as new staff came up to speed on program requirements.
2. Council could direct staff to proceed with the contract for a shorter period until City staff were able to be recruited and trained to perform the work listed above in-house. This would require that the Utilities Department hire an additional staff member to support this work, provide equipment, and an additional vehicle, which would exceed the costs that are expected to be incurred by the City through this contract.

TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Rick Scott, Police Chief
VIA: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
SUBJECT: Item 6g – San Luis Obispo County Animal Control Services Agreement FY 2025-2030
Staff received the following questions regarding the Animal Services Contract.
The questions are below with staff responses shown in italics. Staff solicited assistance from Eric Anderson, Animal Services Manager for the County of San Luis Obispo, to provide context for these questions.
1) It states in the staff report that all the other jurisdictions except for Atascadero had increased fees. Do we know what happened with Atascadero and why they did not also see increases?
For FY24-25 projections, Atascadero appears to have had a favorable increase in revenue generation coupled with a relative decrease in proportionate share of both Field Services and Shelter Services usage.
2) Did we receive any data explaining how our requests for services have increased to justify the increased cost?
Costs are not based upon the actual number of service units provided, but rather they are calculated based on the City’s proportionate share of total shelter operations, which is comprised of both field services and shelter services. That is further averaged over the past three years to minimize any significant one-time variances. Because service fees are based upon proportionate share, the costs for San Luis Obispo are impacted both directly by the City’s own usage rates and indirectly by changes in usage rates of each of the six other partner cities and the unincorporated County communities.
ITEM 6g – San Luis Obispo County Animal Control Services Agreement FY 2025-2030 Page 2 For example: If the San Luis Obispo usage rate remains steady, but another partner city decreases, this places an upward pressure on San Luis Obispo’s proportionate usage rate. Similarly, a slight rise in usage by San Luis Obispo could be offset by a more significant increase in usage by the other partners.
Specific usage factors driving cost increase for the City of San Luis Obispo for FY25-26 are:
13.99% increase in proportionate share of Field Services usage 3.37% increase in proportionate share of Shelter Services usage 3) Is there anything we can do to increase the revenue they receive from the city, to offset/lower our costs in the future?
There are multiple revenue sources which help to offset service fees, the most consequential being dog licensing. Animal Services utilizes rabies vaccination databases to identify and contact owners of unlicensed animals to promote licensing compliance. Promotion of other revenue generating services – reclaim of impounded animals and shelter adoption – offers an additional revenue source, though not as substantial as what is received through licensing. 4) If I am remembering correctly, I think the contract states that we will receive our new rates each year by April. Did we receive that information timely so that we could budget the right amount in the approved 2025-26 budget?
Yes. FY2025-26 rates were provided at the Spring Contract Group meeting on April 3rd which informed the department’s budget request for FY25-26.

Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Rick Scott, Police Chief
Prepared By: Melissa Ellsworth, Senior Business Analyst SUBJECT: FY 2025-30 ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to execute a five-year agreement with the County of San Luis Obispo for the continued provision of Animal Care and Control Services for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, in the amount of $389,746 for the first year, with annual adjustments thereafter.
POLICY CONTEXT
The recommended actions are consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo’s Financial Management Manual, Purchasing Policy, pursuant to which any general services contracts exceeding $150,000 require City Council approval.
DISCUSSION
The City contracts with the County of San Luis Obispo for the provision of Animal Care and Control Services for the following:
1. Shelter Services, including:
a. Maintaining an animal shelter where stray, owner surrendered, confiscated, quarantined or impounded pets are received and provided with appropriate care.
b. Providing services to allow sheltered animals to be returned, adopted or humanely euthanized.
2. Field Services, including:
a. Receiving and responding to public calls for service related to animal management
b. Providing necessary medical treatment and emergency care of domestic animals when necessary
c. Investigating animal bite reports
3. Provide reporting to the City on a bi-annual basis
4. Participate collaboratively with the City regrading matters impacting the provision of animal care and control services.
Item 6g
The Police Department administers the contract on behalf of the City. Although the current contract expired on June 30, 2025, the County agreed to continue providing services to each City while further development and adoption of the new contract continued. Department staff received the County’s final draft of the contract on June 16th, 2025. Additionally, the County initiated a change to the term of the contract from three years to five years. The main reason for this change was to reduce staff time related to contract renewals that contain consistent scope and terms.
How Costs are Determined
The County uses a service-based methodology to determine contract costs for all cities.
This methodology is based on Field Service and Licensing. In general, contract costs are calculated by determining the average percentage of service allocated to each city over the preceding three years for each facet of operations and multiplying this percentage against the Animal Services operational budgeted expenses. The average annual revenue generated from licensing fees or fines by each city over the preceding three years is applied against a city’s total service cost.
Each city (with the exception of Atascadero) experienced an increase in cost for FY 2025-
26. Per the County, in addition to using service-based methodology, the following factors also contributed to the increases:
1. Overall inflationary pressures associated with County expenses, including:
a. Significant increases in liability insurance costs
b. Increased overhead expense assessments
c. Moderate cost increases for fleet services (vehicle maintenance and repair, fuel, etc.)
d. Increased costs for animal feed and veterinary services. This derives in part from significant increases in the actual cost of veterinary services generally coupled with higher levels of animal intake and shelter populations which results in increased need for those services.
2. New landscaping contract for grounds services, this labor having previously been performed by County Parks employees.
3. Hiring additional shelter personnel to perform duties previously performed by County Jail inmates. As a result of some program changes at the jail, inmates were no longer able to work in the shelter, which resulted in the need to hire personnel.
4. Specific to the City of San Luis Obispo, cost drivers also included:
a. Decreased revenue generation (e.g. licensing revenue, service fees for adoptions/impounds, etc.)
b. An increased rate of animal intakes over the three-year cost averaging period, coupled with decreased intakes from some other cities, pushes the proportionate share of operational costs higher for San Luis Obispo.
Item 6g
Below is a chart showing the City’s annual costs since 2022. Costs have increased based on various factors, including what was mentioned above. A significant jump in costs occurred in 2023 due to the shelter hiring additional personnel. Those costs were then distributed among all jurisdictions.
City Jurisdiction FY 2022-23 FY 2023-24 FY 2024-25 FY 2025-26 San Luis Obispo 190,984 240,883 339,026 389,746
Scope of Services
The proposed contract provides for the delivery of Animal Care and Control services to the City of San Luis Obispo for five years, through June 30, 2030. Services include (as outlined in Exhibit A of Attachment A), but are not limited to:
1. Sheltering Services - Provide shelter services in accordance with state regulations, local ordinances, and policies governing the humane treatment of animals.
2. Field Services - Receive and respond to public calls for service related to alleged violations of local or state codes pertaining to the care, keeping, treatment, and management of animals.
3. Reporting - Provide to the City bi-annual service activity and financial reports reflecting field services, licensing and shelter operations.
4. Collaboration – Participate collaboratively with the City regarding matters impacting the provision of animal care and control services. a. County will also develop performance benchmarks and communicate those quarterly on topics including cost of services per city, number of full time equivalent positions within Animal Services over time, GIS heat maps with calls for service over a period of time, average response times, percentage of animals licensed per city, and other data points.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
On November 1, 2022, the City Council approved the Animal Services contract for FY 2022-25.
Public Engagement
The public will have an opportunity to provide public comment prior to or at the City Council meeting.
CONCURRENCE
The Director of Finance concurs with the staff recommendation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to recommended actions in this report, because the actions do not constitute a “Project” under CEQA guidelines Sec 15378.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose not to approve this new contract with County Animal Services. This would restrict the City’s ability to provide these types of services to the community, many of which are required by law and would likely necessitate the City creating and funding its own animal control program.

SUBJECT: ADVISORY BODY APPOINTMENT FOR AN UNSCHEDULED VACANCY
ON THE TREE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION
Confirm the appointment of Kari Gephart to the Tree Committee (TC) for the remainder of the vacated term expiring March 31, 2026.
POLICY CONTEXT
The Advisory Body Handbook outlines the recruitment procedures, membership requirements, and term limits for City advisory bodies. The Handbook also contains the bylaws for each City advisory body, some of which include additional membership requirements. The Tree Committee is a seven-member advisory body. One member must be a representative from the Architectural Review Commission, and the remaining six members are selected from the general public (two of whom shall be horticultural experts, if possible). If appointed, Kari Gephart would be a general public member.
The City Council Policies and Procedures Manual describes the “Appointment Procedure” and “Process” for Advisory Body appointments. Recruitment and appointment recommendations were performed in conformance with all recruitment procedures, processes, and bylaws found in these resources.
California Government Code Section 54972, Local Appointments List (Maddy Act) requires that on or before December 31st of each year, each legislative body shall prepare an appointments lists for their boards, commissions, and committees whose members serve at the pleasure of the legislative body. This obligation was met and is on-going.
DISCUSSION
The City’s Clerk Office received notice on February 24th of an impending resignation of a member of the TC after the April 28th meeting. The annual advisory body recruitment period had identified three additional candidates that potentially could have filled this vacancy, but after reaching out to gauge their interest and tentatively scheduling interviews for June 16th, all potential candidates withdrew from consideration due to personal obligations.
Item 6h
A recruitment was promptly opened to seek a new pool of potential applicants for consideration. After a month long recruitment, two applications were received for the unscheduled vacancy. Both applicants were invited to interview, but only one confirmed and was interviewed by the Council Liaison Subcommittee consisting of Mayor Stewart and Council Member Boswell.
Upon completion of the interview, the Council Liaison Subcommittee recommended Kari Gephart to fill the unscheduled vacancy through March 2026.
Public Engagement
Following Maddy Act guidelines, notices were posted in the City Information kiosk outside City Hall and on the Advisory Body Vacancies page of the City’s website alerting the public that the City was accepting applications for the vacancy on the TC. The public will also have the opportunity to provide public comment before or at the City Council meeting on August 19, 2025.

LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
RECOMMENDATION
Appoint Council Member Mike Boswell as the Voting Delegate and Council Member Emily Francis as Alternate Voting Delegate to vote on the City’s behalf at the Annual Business Meeting of the League of California Cities on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
DISCUSSION
The League of Cal Cities Annual Conference will be held October 8 - 10, 2025 in Long Beach, California. An important component of the Annual Conference is the Annual Resolutions Committee Meeting scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
At this meeting, the League membership will consider and act on resolutions that establish League policy. To vote at the Resolutions Committee Meeting, the City Council must designate a voting delegate. Council may also appoint up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Council Member Boswell and Council Member Francis volunteered to represent the City as the Voting Delegate and Alternate.
Council’s assigned delegates will be provided to CalCities on the Voting Delegate form signed by the City Clerk by the September 24th deadline.
Policy Context

Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Prepared By: Natalie Harnett, Policy and Project Manager SUBJECT: BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT RENEWALS FOR COMMUNITY ACTION TEAM AND MOBILE CRISIS UNIT (FYS 2025–27)
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute up to two (2) one-year renewals of the contracts with the County of San Luis Obispo for continued Behavioral Health Services in support of the Police Department’s Community Action Team and the Fire Department’s Mobile Crisis Unit.
POLICY CONTEXT
The City’s investment in the Community Action Team (CAT) and Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU) supports ongoing efforts to provide coordinated, community-based responses to behavioral health and substance use crises. With contract costs now exceeding the City Manager’s purchasing authority, Council approval is required to continue funding these services using opioid settlement funds. This recommendation aligns with community priorities around public safety and Homelessness Response Major City Goal Objectives.
DISCUSSION
Background
The MCU and CAT are collaborative response programs that pair behavioral health professionals with public safety personnel to provide crisis intervention and support for individuals experiencing mental health or substance use-related emergencies in the field.
The CAT was established in 2013, initially partnering a Police Officer with a contracted mental health outreach worker from Transitions Mental Health Association (TMHA). With the adoption of the 2021-23 Financial Plan, the City Council approved the creation of the MCU, which followed a similar model but paired a TMHA outreach worker with a Fire Department EMT/Paramedic.
Since then, the City has transitioned away from contracting these positions through TMHA and now staffs both programs with Community Resource Services Specialists, who are contracted directly by the City.
Due to the programs’ success, the City began working with the County of San Luis Obispo
Item 6j
in 2024 to explore expanding both teams and incorporating Licensed Psychiatric Technicians (LPTs) into the CAT and MCU models. The County shared the City’s interest to expand access to behavioral health services in the field and had qualified LPTs to support this work. However, due to funding reductions following the passage of Proposition 1, the County could commit to funding only half the cost of one LPT, leaving the City responsible for the remaining 1.5 LPT positions—an estimated cost of $225,000 annually.
Around the same time, the City opted in to direct annual payments from various national opioid settlement agreements in which it had participated.1 These funds are restricted for use on opioid-related services and strategies, including crisis response and outreach to vulnerable populations. Both the CAT and MCU programs are eligible uses under the settlement guidelines, including salary costs of behavioral health and outreach specialists who work with populations affected by the opioid crisis.
In response, the City chose to allocate its share of opioid settlement funds to cover the City’s share of the LPT positions, resulting in no net impact to the General Fund. For a detailed financial breakdown, see the Fiscal Impact section.
Two separate contracts were executed with the County for LPTs, one for the Fire Department and one for the Police Department, because the MCU and CAT operate under different City departments and have distinct funding arrangements. The original agreements (Attachments A and B) were signed in September 2024 and were effective through June 30, 2025, with language allowing for up to two additional one-year renewals with written notice.
While services remain underway since June 30, 2025, no formal renewal was ever signed. This Council action will retroactively authorize Amendment No. 1 with an effective date of July 1, 2025, extending both agreements through June 30, 2026, and allow the City Manager to renew again next year (through FY 2026-27), if funds are available. Per the City’s Purchasing Policy Section 202, the original one-year contracts were within the City Manager’s purchasing authority. However, with the proposed renewals, the contract amounts now exceed that threshold and require Council approval.
1 Until the City opted in to direct payments in 2024, the City’s allocated share had been deferred to the County, dating back to 2021. At that time, the cost and resource burden of administering the funds outweighed the anticipated value received. By 2024, however, the addition of several new settlements (including Teva, Allergen, Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, and Kroger) meaningfully increased the dollar amount the City could receive directly each year to combat the effects of opioid use and addiction.
Item 6j
Summary of Amendments – FY 2025–26 Behavioral Health Contracts The Option to Renew and Amendment No. 1 (Attachments C and D) for both the Police and Fire Department contracts with the County of San Luis Obispo include the following key changes:
1. Contract Renewal for FY 2025–26: Extends the contract term for one additional year, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, in accordance with the renewal option outlined in the original agreement.
2. Updated Scope of Services: Revises the language in Exhibit A to clarify the LPT role in:
o Assisting with voluntary and involuntary psychiatric (rather than “medical”) holds.
o Petitioning for and participating in judicial processes related to extended involuntary commitment orders or conservatorships.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
The City Council approved participation in opioid settlement agreements on December 7, 2021; April 4, 2023; and July 16, 2024.
Public Engagement
Public comment on this item can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence prior to the meeting and through public testimony at the meeting.
CONCURRENCE
The City Attorney’s Office, Fire Department, and Police Department concur with this recommendation.

Item 6j
There is no fiscal impact directly associated with this recommendation, as sufficient funds are already budgeted in the Opioid Settlement Special Revenue Fund 217. To date, the City has received $374,343 in revenue (see Table 1 below), with ongoing annual estimates provided by BrownGreer and Associates, the settlement administrator. While each settlement’s terms and annual amounts vary, the City anticipates receiving an average of approximately $135,000 per year over the next five years. Although this amount is not sufficient to fully fund both LPT positions on an ongoing basis, the existing fund balance is sufficient to close the gap on a one-time basis and fully support the positions through FY 2026–27.
In addition, several outstanding lawsuits are expected to yield further settlement revenue.
Staff will be seeking Council authorization to participate in two of these at a September Council meeting. Participation in these and future settlements is anticipated to increase annual revenue. Staff will continue to monitor the fund balance and evaluate the availability of funds at each contract renewal and when future settlement estimates are released.

Net Fund Balance $206,451 $116,845 -$1633
2 Contract began in September 2024; therefore, this accounts for ¾ of the annual cost. 3 Staff anticipates that this minor overage will be offset by future interest earnings and FY 2027 Kroger settlement funds.
Item 6j
ALTERNATIVES
1. Council could decide to authorize approval for only one of the two contract amendments. If only one contract is approved, the City would continue to receive LPT support for the approved department, but would lose access to behavioral health services for the other. This would reduce the City’s capacity to respond to mental health-related calls and may increase the burden on public safety personnel.
2. Council could decide not to authorize approval for either contract renewal for FY 2025-26. Should council choose this option, the City would no longer receive behavioral health services provided LPTs through either the CAT or the MCU. This would significantly limit the City’s behavioral health response capacity and place a greater burden on public safety personnel. In this case, the full amount of opioid settlement funds currently allocated to these programs would remain unspent, and alternative uses would need to be explored and approved by Council at a later date.

Prepared By: Hannah Hanh, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT TO REVOKE
THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY, RELATED TO A MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AT 1144 CHORRO STREET, FOR SEVEN (7) AFFECTED PROPERTIES. THE PROJECT IS EXEMPT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend the City Council introduce and adopt an Ordinance revoking the Planned Development Overlay (Ordinance No. 1687 [2020 Series]), related to a development project proposed at 1144 Chorro Street, and amending the Zoning Map to rezone the seven (7) associated properties from C-D-PD and C-D-H-PD to C-D and C-D-H, respectively. The project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301(b)(3) (General Rule Exemption) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
PROJECT REQUEST
On behalf of Copeland Properties (Copeland), Jamestown Premier Retail LP (Jamestown), and NKT Commercial (NKT) (Applicants and Affected Property Owners1), Mark Rawson (Representative) has submitted a Planned Development (PD) Amendment (PDEV-0428-2023) to revoke the PD Overlay (Ordinance No. 1687 [2020 Series]) for seven (7) properties located at 1144 Chorro Street; 895, 898, and 973 Higuera Street; and 876 and 890 Marsh Street (Attachment B, Figure 1). Revocation of the PD Overlay would rezone these properties from the Downtown Commercial Zone with Planned Development Overlay (C-D-PD) and Downtown Commercial Zone with Historic and Planned Development Overlays (C-D-H-PD) to Downtown Commercial Zone (C-D) and Downtown Commercial Zone with Historic Overlay (C-D-H), respectively.
1 These three (3) Applicants cumulatively own all properties affected by the PD Overlay, as follows:
Copeland – 973 Higuera Street
Jamestown – 895 and 898 Higuera Street; 876 and 890 Marsh Street; and 868 and 870 Monterey Street
NKT – 1144 Chorro Street
Item 7a
Figure 1 – Area of the PD Overlay2
It should be noted that the approval of the PD Overlay was specific to facilitating the mixed-use development proposed at 1144 Chorro Street (1144 Chorro Mixed-Use Project), which was approved in 2020. However, the Applicants are no longer interested in pursuing this project due to various changes in circumstances. Because this development project will no longer occur, the Applicants are now requesting to revoke the PD Overlay as a clean-up to the Zoning Map. The revocation of this overlay is intended to clarify the regulations that would apply to these properties for future development projects.
DISCUSSION
Background
After a series of public hearings with the Architectural Review Commission, Cultural Heritage Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council in 2019 – 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1687 approving the PD Overlay (PDEV-0509-2019 and EID-0475-2019) for seven (7) properties on September 1, 2020 (Staff Report, Minutes).
2 Revocation of the PD Overlay would result in the rezoning of the seven (7) properties outlined in Figure
1. Permanent preservation of an off-site building at 868 and 870 Monterey Street was identified and required as part of the original project approval. Because the property at 868 and 870 Monterey is offsite and not within the PD Overlay, there would be no changes to its zone.
Item 7a
This approval of Ordinance No. 1687 was accompanied by Resolution No. 11160, which is the separate approval on August 18, 2020 for the six-story mixed-use development proposed at 1144 Chorro (ARCH-1687-2018, PDEV-0509-2019, and EID-0475-2019).
The PD Overlay was required to allow the transfer of unused density credits between neighboring properties and to construct the 1144 Chorro Mixed-Use Project at its desired density3. In accordance with San Luis Obispo Municipal Code (SLOMC) Section
17.70.040(B)(1), this PD Overlay identified participating properties at 895, 898, and 973 Higuera Street and 876 and 890 Marsh Street (which are primarily developed with commercial uses) that were willing to transfer their respective unused density credits to consolidate residential development at 1144 Chorro Street.
Changes in Circumstances and Current Status
Following the entitlement approvals in 2020, the following changes have occurred:
In October 2023, Jamestown sold the property at 1144 Chorro Street to NKT. As the new Property Owner of 1144 Chorro, NKT is not interested in pursuing (or re-initiating) the 1144 Chorro Mixed-Use Project and has obtained entitlement and building permit approvals to allow different uses at the site4. Approval of the 1144 Chorro Mixed-Use Project (Resolution No. 11160) expired on August 28, 2024
5 . Because this PD Overlay is specific to facilitating the 1144 Chorro Mixed-Use Project and does not have any transferrable purpose or benefit, the overlay is no longer needed and unnecessarily references the requirements of an expired development project on the Zoning Map.
There is public interest in developing other properties within the PD Overlay on an individual basis6.
Due to these various changes in circumstances, the owners of all seven (7) affected properties have requested to revoke the PD Overlay (Attachment B).
3 The application of development standards, including the calculation for maximum residential density, generally follows the lot lines of an individual lot and does not extend to the greater boundaries of a project site, which may comprise of multiple lots, unless otherwise allowed through a discretionary approval (e.g., PD Overlay, Specific Plan, etc.).
4 A Minor Use Permit (USE-0455-2024) was approved for a proposed office use on October 24, 2024, and a building permit (BLDG-0088-2025) was issued for the associated tenant improvements on April 28, 2025.
This building is intended for the combined function of Cal Poly’s Mustang Shop, Center for Innovation [CIE], and Small Business Development Center [SBDC]. Removal of this PD Overlay was not required to allow changes in commercial uses at the site.
5 The expiration date of this project approval was automatically tolled and extended by multiple State and Local emergency ordinances during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The last of these actions includes the City Council’s adoption of Resolution No. 11396, which terminated the Declaration of a Local Emergency for the COVID-19 Pandemic and provided an automatic 18-month time extension for all discretionary approvals until August 28, 2024. An additional time extension was not requested as allowed by SLOMC Section
17.104.070, and this approval expired on August 28, 2024. 6 Agenda correspondence for the Planning Commission’s initial review on July 9, 2025 indicates that there is interest in developing a mixed-use project at 973 Higuera Street, which is currently located within the PD Overlay.
Item 7a
While development approvals may expire if an Applicant does not move forward with subsequent steps in the permitting process, the adoption of a PD Overlay is an amendment to the Zoning Map that does not expire. Therefore, per SLOMC Section
17.48.100, a rezoning process, which includes review by the Planning Commission and adoption by the City Council, is required to remove the PD Overlay.
Analysis of the Request
On July 9, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed and unanimously recommended the City Council revoke the PD Overlay because required findings for its initial approval would no longer be applicable and/or met (Resolution), based on the following:
1. The purpose of adopting this PD Overlay in 2020 was to facilitate a specific accompanying project at 1144 Chorro Street;
2. Approval of that accompanying project at 1144 Chorro Street (ARCH-1687- 2018, PDEV-0509-2019, and EID-0475-2019) has expired;
3. Any community benefits and mandatory project features required of, or resulting from, the development project would no longer occur because the accompanying project approval has expired and the property owner of 1144 Chorro Street does not wish to re-initiate;
4. All current owners of the seven (7) affected properties do not wish to re-initiate the project as previously approved;
5. The property owner of 1144 Chorro Street has actively pursued entitlement and building permit approvals for different uses at the property;
6. The PD Overlay encumbers seven (7) properties in downtown, not under common ownership, by referring to an expired project approval on the Zoning Map; and
7. Revocation of the PD Overlay would amend and clean up the Zoning Map by removing the reference to an expired project approval and its associated requirements (e.g., mitigation measures from the environmental review; deviations allowed by the PD overlay; conditions of approval, etc.). Revocation would provide clarity in applicable regulations of the affected properties and remove unnecessary restrictions on development thereof.
While the PD Overlay does not preclude changes in use (e.g., changes in commercial uses) for these properties, it may result in confusion and/or cause conflict for future development projects that include the construction of new residential units because one of the primary purposes of this PD Overlay is to allow the transfer of density credits. To address potential confusion and/or conflict related to the number of allowable density units for individual properties affected by the overlay, revocation of the PD Overlay is recommended as a clean-up to the Zoning Map.
Item 7a
If the City Council revokes the PD Overlay, the seven (7) affected properties would be rezoned from C-D-PD and C-D-H-PD to C-D and C-D-H, respectively. These were the zones in place prior to the PD Overlay approval. Any future development proposed on these properties would be subject to requirements of the underlying C-D zone, and Historic Overlay (H) as appropriate.
Public Engagement
In accordance with Government Code Section 65854, public notice was provided at least 20 days before the Planning Commission hearing on July 9, 2025, and this City Council hearing on August 19, 2025. The public has the opportunity to comment on the item before and/or at each hearing. If the City Council moves forward with introducing the ordinance to revoke the overlay, public notice would be provided as required for the subsequent City Council hearing for the second reading to adopt the ordinance.
CONCURRENCE
The Council Agenda Report was reviewed by the Community Development Department, Finance Department, City Attorney, and City Administration for concurrence.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301(b)(3) (General Rule Exemption) of the CEQA Guidelines. This “Common Sense” exemption states that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Since the scope of this request is limited to an amendment on the Zoning Map and does not facilitate any development project, it would not have an effect on the environment. Additionally, the mitigation measures required as part of the PD Overlay adoption in 2020 were only applicable to the development project for 1144 Chorro Street as proposed at the time. Should there be any new development proposed at 1144 Chorro Street or any of the other affected properties, those projects would be evaluated on an individual basis for consistency and compliance with all applicable regulations in effect at that time, including environmental review.

The PD Amendment application for this revocation request was paid by the Applicant, and there is no upfront cost resulting from the revocation of the PD Overlay on the Zoning Map. If Council adopts the Ordinance to revoke the overlay, subsequent development projects proposed on these properties would be subject to the appropriate permitting applications, which are applicant-funded review processes.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue the review of the revocation request. An action to continue the review of the revocation request should include a detailed list of additional information and/or analysis required to make a decision.
2. Do not introduce and adopt the Ordinance to revoke the PD Overlay. Retention of the PD Overlay would mean that a reference to an expired development project and its associated requirements would remain on the Zoning Map. If the reference remains, it may result in (a) confusion related to the number of allowable density units for individual properties affected by the overlay and/or (b) conflict for future development projects that include the construction of new residential units because one of the primary purposes of this PD Overlay is to allow the transfer of density credits to a specific property at 1144 Chorro Street.
