Options for consideration include 1) continue with current project; 2) add new alternatives to the project that would require less right-of-way acquisitions; 3) Restart the process and require less right-of-way acquisitions; and 4) Determine if congestion and safety concerns can be addressed in short- or long-term, without having to complete an interchange project.

Lynn Lenardon stated this has been going on far too long, affecting property values – do not keep owners in limbo. Max Mautner is concerned with an arterial road to separate two of the biggest schools in our area and safety for children. David Hunt believes Poplar should just be closed as on-ramp and off-ramp. Henry Riggs called out collateral issues related to the project stating street parking is a major concern.

Mayor Lee commented on the area having the worse rankings for safe routes to school and noted the need to give business owners some guidance as to where they stand on eminent domain matter. Consensus of Council is to 7 of 1058

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Department
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT:

Senior Catered Lunch Services Program – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an agreement with Corporate Cuisine, Inc. DBA Creekside Grill for senior catered lunch services for a three-year initial term, with an option to extend for two additional years, not to exceed $150,000 per fiscal year, for a total contract amount of up to $750,000 over five years.

BACKGROUND:

The City of San Mateo, through its contract with Corporate Cuisine, Inc. DBA Creekside Grill (“Corporate Cuisine”) provides 9,880 meals a year to seniors who attend the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center and the Senior Center.

Corporate Cuisine has been providing nutritious meals to our senior community for over ten years. In 2021, the City did a formal Request For Proposals (RFP) process for senior catering services. This process resulted in two bids, one from Trio Community Meals and the other from Corporate Cuisine.

As a requirement of the RFP, both vendors provided sample meals and a select group of senior nutrition program members and Senior Citizen Commissioners were asked to partake in a blind tasting. The results of the blind taste test were unanimous, with all testers voting Corporate Cuisine as most presentable and appetizing. Another aspect of the RFP included City staff visiting the preparation locations of the vendors to view their operations.

As a result of this RFP, it was determined that Corporate Cuisine provided the best tasting food, and their facilities provided a more restaurant feel versus industrialized service feel. Corporate Cuisine currently provides similar services to the City of Belmont and the City of Redwood City (Fair Oaks location). Overall seniors continuously provide positive comments regarding Corporate Cuisine’s meals. Staff researched if there were any new vendors being utilized by neighboring agencies providing similar services since the 2021 RFP was conducted, and it was concluded that there were not.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The meal service provided at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center is subsidized through a San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services grant. Funds from the County grant pay $7.08 per meal. The senior patrons are asked to pay a suggested donation of $5.00 per meal. Patron cost for lunches at the Senior Center is $7.00. There are sufficient funds budgeted in the proposed 2023-24 budget for senior meals, and this agenda report is for contract authority only.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.)

Additional Insured Status
The City, its elected and appointed officials, employees, and agents are to be covered as insureds on the auto policy for liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the Contractor; and on the CGL policy with respect to liability arising out of work or operations performed by or on behalf of the Contractor including materials, parts or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.

Waiver of Subrogation
Contractor hereby grants to City a waiver of any right to subrogation which any insurer of said Contractor may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under such insurance.

Agenda Number: 7 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 10-4679 File ID: 23-7290 TO: City Council
FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT:

Columbia Drive and Crystal Springs Storm Drain Improvements – Agreement RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an agreement with Freyer & Laureta, Inc. for professional design services in the amount of $108,400; establish a contingency reserve of $11,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.

BACKGROUND:

The Columbia/Crystal Springs Storm Drain Improvements Project will divert stormwater runoff from an existing open earth ditch to a new stormwater collection system to be constructed within the public right-of-way along Columbia Drive, Tulane Road, and Crystal Springs Road. Currently, an open-earth ditch conveys stormwater from Columbia Drive within a 10-foot wide Public Utilities Easement (PUE) that spans between Columbia Drive and Crystal Springs Road adjacent to Tulane Court. The open earth ditch has eroded over time. This project will capture the runoff that enters the ditch on Columbia Drive and route it into a hard-piped system to Crystal Springs Road. The completion of this project will prevent further erosion within the PUE.

In 2018, Freyer & Laureta, Inc. (F&L) was selected to provide design engineering services through a qualifications-based consultant selection process. F&L’s original scope of work included the following tasks: topographic survey, preparing CEQA documentation, permitting, preparing construction documents, and bid support. Developing a design to convey stormwater along Crystal Springs Road has been the biggest challenge due to the number of existing utilities within the roadway, which include PG&E, CalWater, Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID), and the City’s sanitary sewer lines. The project is currently at 50% design.

F&L’s agreement has expired, therefore a new agreement is required to complete the design for the project. The scope of work in this agreement will carry over the remaining scope of the previous agreement (e.g., preparing construction documents and bid support) and include pothole and survey work to finalize the design alternative for the Crystal Springs Road portion of the project. Based on the above, staff recommends approval of this agreement.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in the Columbia/Crystal Springs Storm Drain Project (Project No. 468007).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This amendment is not a project subject to CEQA, because it can be seen with certainty that it will not cause a physical change in the environment. (Public Resources Code Section 21065.) 26 of 1058

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1: Prepare Construction Documents
F&L will prepare 50%, 90% and 100% design submittals for the proposed project. Through discussions with the City, the pipe alignment has been modified from the Basis of Design Report dated October 8, 2021. The storm drain pipe along Crystal Springs Road will be above grade for the length of the retaining wall and a trench drain to the limit of work. F&L will engage structural engineer, HohbachLewin, Inc. (HL), to design the pipe stand foundations for the above grade pipe for the design submittals.

F&L will provide the City with one PDF copy for the 50% and 90% submittal for review and comment.

We will participate in one design review workshop following both the 50% and 90% submittals.

F&L will provide written response to comments provided during the 50% and 90% submittals. The written response to comments will include a brief description of how the City comments have been incorporated into the specification and/or drawings.

F&L will provide a draft 100% submittal PDF copy for City final review. F&L will participate in a conference call with City staff to address any final minor comments on the 100% submittal to prepare the construction documents for bid. The final bid documents will be provided in PDF format only for use by the City.

Task 2: Pothole and Survey
F&L will engage potholing subconsultant, Exaro, to pothole the EMID waterline and the SFPUC 24-inch waterline to verify depth of existing utilities along the trench drain alignment. F&L will perform supplemental survey to capture additional rim and invert elevations of existing City’s infrastructure within Crystal Springs Road including the existing outfall location.

Performance of Task 2 is contingent on the following assumptions:
• Horizontal and vertical control will be based on existing City benchmarks. • The City will issue a no-cost encroachment permit for the utility potholing work. • Any traffic control plan required by the City will not require full-time flaggers. • All utility pothole repairs will be completed with hot-mix asphalt.

Task 3: Bid Support
F&L will provide bid support including the following:
• Prepare for and attend one pre-bid meeting including preparing a meeting agenda. • Manage the meeting sign in sheet.
• Prepare meeting minutes.
• Prepare one addendum, if needed, for the Project including a draft submittal to the City.

Agenda Number: 8 Section Name: CONSENT CALENDAR Account Number: 72-4674 File ID: 23-7415 TO: City Council
FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Plant Immediate Action Projects, Package III – Appropriation and Construction Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution appropriating $8,574,000 from Fund 72 Reserves to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Immediate Action Projects, Package III (IAP III) project; award an agreement to Mountain Cascade, Inc. for construction of the IAP III Project in an amount not to exceed $11,344,696; establish a contingency fund in an amount not to exceed $2,270,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.

BACKGROUND:

The WWTP is an aging facility, and the Clean Water Program (CWP) includes a variety of capital improvement projects to rehabilitate and upgrade the equipment and processes. The IAP-III Project (Project) is a component of the CWP and includes improvements includes improvements to the WWTP’s effluent pumpstation, site waste pump station, and sludge heating and recirculation piping. The Project is part of the CWP’s efforts to modernize the existing WWTP and maintain safe and reliable operations.

The effluent pump station improvements include replacing pipes, new effluent pumps, and new flow meters. The effluent pump station improvements increase the reliability of the facility to discharge treated wastewater to the San Francisco Bay. The site waste pump station will be completely replaced as the existing equipment has diminishing reliability; a new piping, valve vault, and wet well will be constructed in a new location outside the solids handling building. Replacing the sludge heating and recirculating piping is required to support the continued anaerobic digestion of wastewater biosolids.

These improvements are also coupled with plant wide mechanical and electrical equipment improvements.

In April 2022, the project was advertised for competitive bids, with only a single bid submitted. That bid of $19,880,000 was 64 percent higher than the engineer’s estimate of $12,131,000. On June 20, 2022, Council adopted a Resolution to reject the sole bid and authorize staff to attempt to directly negotiate a contract with the bidder, which ultimately did not meet the City’s goals for a negotiated contract.

Staff worked with the design engineer to revise the contract documents and update the costs to advertise the project again. A Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals and Bidding Documents were issued to advertise the Project on February 10, 2023, in compliance with Municipal Code section 3.60.030. Three (3) bids were submitted and opened on April 6, 2023 with the following results:

Contractor Bid Amount
Mountain Cascade $ 11,344,696
Anvil Builders $ 12,444 998
Monterey Mechanical $ 20,628,000
44 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
Mountain Cascade submitted the lowest bid of $11,344,696, which is approximately 25 percent below the engineer’s updated estimate of $15,248,000. Based on staff’s determination that the low bidder is responsive and responsible, staff recommends Council award the agreement to Mountain Cascade for an amount not to exceed $11,344,696.

Staff recommends Council establish a construction contingency of $2,270,000. Based on staff’s prior experience with previous Immediate Action Projects Packages and the ongoing WWTP Upgrade and Expansion Project, the IAP-III Project presents a higher risk profile than other typical City construction contracts. The construction area is surrounded by ongoing WWTP operation and maintenance activities and the on-going construction associated with the WWTP Upgrade & Expansion Project. The requested contingency (20% of the construction contract) will allow staff to mitigate the risk that changes to the plant operations and other active construction efforts may require of this Project, as well as impacts due to unanticipated conditions (e.g., unanticipated underground utilities).

BUDGET IMPACT:

In 2021, a budget of $10.252 million was established for the Project. During the design, the scope of work previously identified as part of another effort was added to the Project, increasing the estimated costs. The current remaining budget in the WWTP IAP-III (46T010) project account is not enough to fully fund the construction agreement, contingency, other remaining project costs (construction management, project management, and engineering services during construction), and escalation. An appropriation of $8,574,000 from unassigned fund balance from the Sewer Fund Reserves to the WWTP IAP-III project account is required. There are sufficient funds in the Sewer Fund Reserves to fund the remaining costs to complete this project.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City prepared a Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (Final PEIR) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (SCH No. 2015032006). Council on June 6, 2016, certified the PEIR. In accordance with CEQA, the Final PEIR serves as the primary environmental compliance document for the implementation of the Clean Water Program. The City prepared Addenda to the Final PEIR that was approved on July 16, 2018 (Addendum 1) and April 15, 2019 (Addendum 2). This work is within the scope of the Project evaluated in the PEIR and Addendum.

MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT:

Renewable Diesel Fuel Procurement and Delivery Services – Amendment RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Amendment No. 4 to exercise a third, one-year extension to the agreement with Bosco Oil, Inc. dba Valley Oil Company for procurement and delivery of red and clear renewable diesel, and increase the amount of the extension from $150,000 to $300,000 for a new agreement total of $1,125,000; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $75,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.

BACKGROUND:

Clear renewable diesel is used to power the citywide fleet including dump trucks, street sweepers, sewer flusher trucks, and light-duty maintenance trucks. Red diesel is used to power off-road equipment, including the Marina Lagoon Pump Station and emergency generators.

In June 2020, an agreement was awarded to Bosco Oil, Inc, dba Valley Oil Company for the procurement and delivery of red and clear diesel fuel. City Council approved a one-year agreement in an amount not to exceed $150,000, with four optional one-year extensions with the same price and terms for an estimated not to exceed amount of $750,000. Council also approved the establishment of a contingency reserve in the amount of $75,000.

In May 2021, Amendment No. 1 was signed to extend the contract using the first of four optional one-year extensions through June 30, 2022 in the amount of $150,000. In March 2022, Contract Change Order No. 1 was issued to add the full contract contingency in the amount of $75,000 due to the increase in fuel costs to provide funding through June 30, 2022.

In June 2022, Amendment No. 2 was signed to amend Exhibit B of the agreement to add the procurement and delivery of clear renewable diesel fuel at the current OPIS sheet pricing quoted for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, and to extend the contract using the second of four one-year extensions through June 30, 2023.

In November 2022, Amendment No. 3 was signed to increase the contract amount from $150,000 to $300,000 for the oneyear extension period, for a new agreement total of $975,000; and establish a new 20% contingency reserve in the amount of $60,000 through June 30, 2023.

With the escalation in fuel costs and the recent usage increase due to storm related circumstances, the original five-year estimate in 2020 of $150,000 per year is inadequate. Staff reviewed year-to-date costs of diesel fuel for fiscal year 2022-23 and projects a 100% annual increase in cost compared to the original estimate.

Similar to Amendment No. 3, and based on these findings, staff recommends that City Council approve increasing the 60 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
amount of the third extension through June 30, 2024, from $150,000 to $300,000 for a new agreement total of $1,125,000, and establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $75,000.

The term of the contract beginning in fiscal year 2020-21, including all optional one-year extensions through fiscal year 2024-25, remains unchanged.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are included in the operating budgets for the various departments that utilize diesel fuel. Fuel costs are charged back to departments based on actual usage and any increase will be absorbed in their operating budget. No supplemental budget appropriation is necessary.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This amendment is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

Gasoline Fuel Procurement and Delivery Services – Amendment RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Amendment No. 4 to exercise a third, one-year extension to the agreement with Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc. for gasoline fuel procurement and delivery, and increase the amount of the extension from $250,000 to $500,000 for a new total agreement of $1,875,000; establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $100,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and issue change orders within the contingency amount.

BACKGROUND:

Gasoline fuel is used to power many vehicles and equipment in the Citywide fleet, and the City maintains a fueling station at the Corporation Yard. In June 2020, an agreement was awarded to Pinnacle Petroleum, Inc. for the procurement and delivery of gasoline. City Council approved a one-year agreement in an amount not to exceed $250,000, with four optional one-year extensions with the same price and terms for an estimated not-to-exceed amount of $1,250,000. Council also approved the establishment of a contingency reserve in the amount of $125,000.

In July 2021, Amendment No. 1 was signed to extend the contract for the first of four optional one-year extensions through June 30, 2022 in the amount of $250,000. In April 2022, Contract Change Order No. 1 was issued to add the full contract contingency in the amount of $125,000 due to the increase in fuel costs to provide funding through June 30, 2022.

In July 2022, Amendment No. 2 was signed to extend the contract for the second of four one-year extensions through June 30, 2023.

In November 2022, Amendment No. 3 was signed to increase the agreement amount from $250,000 to $500,000 and establish a new contingency reserve in the amount of $100,000 through June 30, 2023.

With the escalation in fuel costs and recent usage increase due to storm-related circumstances, the original five-year estimate in 2020 of $250,000 per year is inadequate. Staff reviewed year to date costs of gasoline for fiscal year 2022-23 and projected a 75% annual increase in cost.

Similar to Amendment No. 3, and based on these findings, staff recommends that City Council approve increasing the amount of the third extension through June 30, 2024 from $250,000 to $500,000 for a new agreement total of $1,875,000 and establish a contingency reserve in the amount of $100,000.

The term of the agreement beginning in fiscal year 2020-21, including all optional one-year extensions through fiscal year 64 of 1058

Downtown Cleaning Service – Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve an agreement for commercial district cleaning services with Frank & Grossman Landscape Contractors, Inc. for a term of two years, in an amount not to exceed $500,000 per year, with up to two, 1-year extensions at $500,000 per year, for a total not-to-exceed agreement amount of $2,000,000; and authorize the Public Works Director to execute the agreement in substantially the form presented and execute any amendments within the agreement amount.

BACKGROUND:

The Downtown San Mateo Commercial District (Downtown) is one of the largest on the Peninsula and includes numerous retail and restaurant storefronts, as well as a movie theater. Serving as a dining and recreation destination for visitors throughout the area, extensive cleaning is needed to keep its streets and parking garages clean and visually attractive.

Public Works manages the custodial agreement for these services and the current term expires on June 30, 2023. The scope of services in the current contract includes areas outside of Downtown including City Hall’s parking garage, Flores Apartment’s parking garage, the commercial blocks of 25th avenue, and changing out all the liners for all City trashcans throughout the City. To ensure consistent cleaning and outstanding customer experience, Facilities and Solid Waste worked together to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new contract to continue custodial services. The new contract also incorporates the new Kiku Crossing garage and pedestrian mall. The RFP included two parts:
• Part A - Deep Cleaning Services/Power Washing: Quarterly cleanings based upon need and approval of the City, intensive cleaning services including power washing sidewalks and garages, the pedestrian mall, and parking areas and stairwells.
• Part B - Regular Cleaning Services: Frequent, regular cleaning services including the sweeping of sidewalks and stairwells.

The RFP allowed for individual vendors to submit proposals for one or both types of the scope of work. Staff received a total of five proposals. Three firms submitted proposals for both parts of the scope of work: Frank & Grossman Landscape Contractors, Inc. (Frank & Grossman), Puma Power Washing, and Aim to Please Janitorial Services. Two firms, Clark Services and Eco Sanitation, submitted partial scopes of work. Staff evaluated the proposals based on the firms' understanding of the work involved, prior experience with similar work, quality and technical ability of the proposed staff, and the pricing structure. Based on a review of the proposals, staff recommends awarding an agreement to Frank & Grossman for all of the scope of work due to the quality of its proposal. Frank & Grossman has competitive pricing and maintains a significant workforce in the area to provide consistent service. They currently hold contracts to provide similar services with Caltrain, SamTrans, and several cities in the Bay Area. Frank & Grossman offers competitive compensation to its custodial staff including health and retirement benefits and complies with the City’s prevailing wage requirement. 68 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
Based on the above, staff requests approval of a not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 per year for the initial two-year term totaling $1,000,000, and if the two, 1-year extensions are exercised, a total not-to-exceed agreement amount of $2,000,000. Staff has determined that the annual not-to-exceed amount of $500,000 for up to four total years, if the extensions are exercised, maintains consistency with the previous annual amount and provides budget for the full scope of work of both Part A and Part B for a total of $479,384 and approximately $20,000 of ad hoc additional cleanings. Based on the above, staff recommends approval of the agreement with Frank & Grossman to provide commercial district cleaning services.

BUDGET IMPACT:

Sufficient funds for this agreement are included in the Downtown Services budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This agreement is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility,” because it consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301.)

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Department
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT:

Merit Employees’ Salary Schedules – Approval
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution to authorize and approve the City of San Mateo Merit Employees’ current pay rates and ranges (salary schedule).

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 4.02, the City Council provides for the compensation of all officers and employees and salaries shall be fixed by resolution. Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 570.5, requires the City Council to adopt a full salary schedule as a standalone document detailing the rates of pay for each City classification, and to maintain this salary schedule as a publicly available document for at least five years. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CALPERS) uses this salary schedule to determine the “compensation earnable” when calculating the monthly pension an individual will receive when they retire. “Compensation earnable” is defined by the Public Employees’ Retirement Law (PERL) Government Code Sections 20636, and 20636.1 as pay rate and special compensation as defined in the statutes.

The City of San Mateo merit employees’ salary schedule is consistent with classifications and pay rates for current employees at this time, and no changes to the various salary ranges are proposed by the adoption of the salary schedules.

The merit employees’ salary schedule (Attachment 1 - Exhibit A) reflects salary changes previously approved by the Council in resolutions. Salary schedules are available to the public on the City’s website.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to the adoption of this resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This action is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

NOTICE PROVIDED
All meeting noticing requirements were met.

ADOPTING THE CITY OF SAN MATEO EMPLOYEE PAY RATES AND RANGES (SALARY SCHEDULE)
WHEREAS, pursuant to City Charter Section 4.02, the City Council provides for the compensation of all officers and employees and salaries shall be fixed by resolution; and WHEREAS, Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 570.5, requires the City Council to adopt a full salary schedule, as a standalone document detailing the rates of pay for each City classification; and WHEREAS, the City must maintain salary schedules as publicly available documents for at least five years; and
WHEREAS, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CALPERS) uses the salary schedules to determine “compensation earnable”; and

WHEREAS, these salary schedules reflect salary changes previously approved by the Council in Resolutions; and
WHEREAS, no appropriation of additional funds is necessary;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES that:

1. The classification updates are not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that they will not cause a physical change in the environment; and

2. The pay rates and ranges set forth in the Merit Employees’ Salary Schedule attached as Exhibit A are approved.

SUBJECT:

Pedestrian Mall – Boundary Determination
RECOMMENDATION:

Provide direction to staff on whether to bring forward a revision to the boundaries of the pedestrian malls to reopen to traffic the block of B Street between First and Second Avenues and whether to allow for parklet platforms within the pedestrian mall.

BACKGROUND:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the City piloted street closures on portions of B Street using temporary barricades to allow for outdoor dining and expanded public open space. Based on the success of the pilot, the City committed to permanently closing two adjacent segments of B Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues and 2nd and 3rd Avenues through the Pedestrian Mall Act process. The ordinance closing the street segments to establish the pedestrian malls was adopted at the October 4, 2021 City Council meeting. Since then, staff has been working on designs for permanent barricades and improvements to the pedestrian mall. The design work is expected to be completed within a few months after which the City will start the construction bid process. The total cost of the improvements for both blocks is estimated to be roughly $1.2 million dollars.

The intensity of use of the two pedestrian mall blocks has been uneven ever since the streets were initially closed. Most of the restaurants between 2nd and 3rd Avenues have embraced the opportunity to use the outdoor space, while only two businesses are using the block between 1st and 2nd Avenue. At the March 20, 2023 City Council meeting, in response to comments submitted by the business community, the City Council directed staff to agendize a discussion on whether to reopen the block between 1st and 2nd Avenue to traffic. In addition, the Council directed staff to revisit the guidelines related to the ability of businesses to have a parklet platform on the pedestrian mall. It is timely to move forward with this discussion prior to staff issuing construction bids for the pedestrian mall improvements. In addition, staff is working on the artist selection process for the Racial Equity Art project that will be located within the pedestrian mall and needs guidance on whether one or both blocks will be available for the mural.

Business Survey
At the direction of the Council, staff developed a targeted survey to get feedback from the businesses on both blocks of the pedestrian mall. The survey included questions on whether they prefer their block open or closed to traffic, if they would prefer a seasonal closure, and if the ability to have a parklet platform would change their opinion. Additionally, the survey asked whether or not the events held on the street help or hurt their business. Staff was able to get a 90% response rate for the ground-floor businesses located between 1st and 2nd Avenue and an 80% response rate for the ground-floor businesses located between 2nd and 3rd Avenue. Staff included a summary of the survey results as Attachment 1 to this report. The survey results are sorted by block and then also further sorted based on whether or not they are a foodserving business. 122 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
The majority of the businesses between 1st and 2nd Avenue would prefer that their block be reopened to vehicular traffic either year-round (63%) or seasonally (11%). The businesses stated that the block closure has reduced revenues, created logistical issues, and reduced customer satisfaction. The results differed somewhat based on the type of business. The majority of the non-food businesses on the block (75%) support reopening the street to traffic whereas only 55% of the food/drink businesses would like to see the street reopened. Currently only two of the twelve food/drink businesses located on that block have outdoor dining installations but another two are considering adding them in the future.

For the block between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, less than a third (31%) of the businesses would like to see that block reopened to traffic and the majority of the food/drink businesses (82%) would prefer to have the street remain closed. As a result of these findings, staff would not recommend reopening the block between 2nd and 3rd Avenue to vehicular traffic.

Seasonal closures
Staff surveyed the businesses on both blocks to see if a seasonal-only closure would be preferred to year-round. The majority of the businesses did not support a seasonal closure. Only a handful of non-food businesses were interested in that idea. Seasonal closures would be challenging for food businesses since they do not have a place to store their furnishings in the off-season. As a result of this business feedback, staff does not recommend that City Council consider seasonal closures as an option for the pedestrian malls.

Platform considerations
Currently the businesses located on the pedestrian mall are limited to furnishings that can be removed easily for public events or for street maintenance needs. A key challenge with not having a platform is that the businesses are not able to mitigate for the slope of the street in their dining installations. If the Council were to relax this restriction, any platform that would be allowed would need to follow the City’s parklet guidelines and meet ADA slope standards, allow for storm water drainage, and would not be permitted to have roofs (although shade sails and umbrellas are allowed).

If the businesses on the pedestrian mall were allowed to have more permanent platforms it could impede the ability to hold street fair events on the pedestrian mall, such as the Chamber’s Reimagine San Mateo event. It may still be possible to allow for outdoor concert events, such as September Nights on B Street, if the businesses are willing to allow the public to use their outdoor dining areas during the events.

When asked in the survey if they would build a parklet platform if allowed, 45% of the food/drink businesses between 1st and 2nd Avenue and 73% of the food/drink businesses between 2nd and 3rd Avenue said they would. On the block between 1st and 2nd, 55% of the food /drink businesses would prefer the block be reopened to traffic if parklets were allowed. In contrast, the businesses between 2nd and 3rd overwhelmingly would prefer the street remain closed.

Impact of Events
Staff included questions in the survey to gauge the comparative impact to businesses of events held in the pedestrian mall versus those in Central Park. For the most part, the food/drink businesses found that events held on the pedestrian mall were beneficial to their businesses whereas those held in Central Park did not have any impact on them. A portion of the non-food serving businesses on both blocks stated events were harmful to their business but the majority stated they had no impact on revenues.

Process to Reopen the Street to Traffic
The State‘s Pedestrian Mall Act outlines a detailed process in order to establish a pedestrian mall that includes the adoption of a Resolution of Intent, noticing all impacted property owners, holding a public hearing, and adopting the closure via an ordinance. The Pedestrian Mall Act does not explicitly go into details on how to reverse the decision other than to indicate that the City has the ability to do so. Staff would recommend that the City follow the same process for a potential reopening as it did for the closure. This process is expected to take several months to complete and will include several opportunities for comment from both the business community and the general public.

In addition to going through the public hearing process to reopen the street, there are some minor improvements that 123 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
would need to be made to return the block to its former use. The traffic lanes and parking spaces would need to be restriped and the parking meters and related signage would need to be reinstalled. The anticipated cost of this work is $50,000.

Questions for City Council discussion:
• Do you want to move forward with the process to reopen the block between 1st and 2nd Avenue to traffic? • Do you want to allow businesses to build parklet platforms within the pedestrian mall? BUDGET IMPACT:

If the City were to decide to reopen the block between 1st and 2nd Avenue it will cost roughly $50,000 to implement but will result in a significant reduction, potentially up to $500,000, to the cost of constructing the pedestrian mall improvements. The pedestrian mall improvements are included in the City’s draft Capital Improvement Project (CIP) proposal.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This discussion of potential revisions to the pedestrian mall boundaries is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

NOTICE PROVIDED
All meeting noticing requirements were met.

Subject: Fogbird - Per meeting on March 20th.

Date: Monday, March 27, 2023 1:13:07 PM
Hi Kathy,
I was able to watch the meeting video this past weekend and wanted to pass along my thoughts. Thanks for all your time putting together the presentation you did. Here are a few of my comments that can be passed along to the board.

1. My concern is some of the board members mention about reopening our block between 1st and 2nd. I think is name was Hedges. He said he walked the block to see how the foot traffic was and he did it on a Sunday? Why not Friday or Saturday night? Sunday is the only day we are closed due to how slow foot traffic is per the hours we would normally be open.

2. I visited San Carlos this past Thursday evening and wanted to pass along what my thoughts are.
a. They have an emergency lane in the middle of their block and have parklets for any business on that street. I know the emergency lane is a big concern about our pedestrian mall.

Have we chatted with their fire department on how they allow the parklets to occur and still have the fire department feel safe with the lane.
b. They have sorted out how to have lights above the block that really make the space welcoming. Lighting just on the trees like we have is not enough. How does San Carlos make this happen and not us?
c. San Carlos has a farmers market on those closed blocks and they use the fire lane. How does San Carlos figure out how to have the fire department access, have parklets and have farmers market stalls? Appears they have sorted it out.

2. We have had very little city support for use of the two blocks. I think we had 3 events in Sept but then nothing. We need to have more year round events on those blocks in order for more activity to occur.

3. Our block finally had two new locations open up this past month. You can see one of these lines due to popularity which is fantastic. I would ask that you give our block more time to see if other places open outdoor eating spaces.

4. I ask the board to approve the budget for both blocks.

I am planning on spending another $5,000 to update my space this spring but am concerned once hearing the video that our block will be returned to street traffic.

I look forward to hearing how the approval process goes for the pedestrian mall.

Best,
--

I recently read in the SM Daily Journal that businesses are experiencing difficulties due to the street closure between 1st and 2nd aves along B street. I would like to recommend that we continue to keep this portion of B street a pedestrian walkway.

As a resident of San Mateo within walking distance of B street, I have enjoyed during the past 2 years being able to freely dine, stroll, and walk along the two closed blocks of B street. As you can see, between 2nd and 3rd Ave people continue to enjoy outdoor seating and socializing. Kids ride their bikes, families walk their dogs, and the atmosphere just feels safer.

I have lived and worked in San Mateo since 2006, and am a lifelong Bay Area resident. I can firmly recall the nightmare of trying to find a parking space along B street, the traffic jams that would back up 3rd and 2nd Aves, the danger near the Caltrain at-grade crossings, and the noise. Looking at old satellite photos, we only lost 32 parking spaces to the closure.

I full-heartedly sympathize and recognize that the part of the closure between 2nd and 1st Aves has felt a bit underutilized lately, but I think that as the weather eases up and if we get a new mix of businesses the street will once again become vibrant! Look at the absolute monster of a line that Kajiken draws: a solid line of people waiting an hour before they open on a weekend. I recall when Curry Up Now had their parklet set up and we used to dine there along with several other parties, even up to last year. Even last fall, in front of Philz, I would hang around waiting for a sidewalk table to open up in the mornings. Clearly, if there are outdoor spots, the people will come.

Please consider attracting more businesses that add to the vibrancy of the block. Promote events and art. Bring back parklets and streetside tables. Let us not regress back to car-culture that 1) won't add that much more parking 2) will degrade pedestrian safety and 3) will jam traffic along 2nd and 198 of 1058
1st Aves.

Thank you for your consideration,

Hi Jennifer,
I hope this email finds you well. I am sending you this email to offer some insight from my experiences. I would like to volunteer the name of an attorney that is on the cutting edge of defending ADA handicap lawsuits.His name is Ara Sahelian, Esq. Ara is a terrific attorney and is the best advocate for small business defense against these unscrupulous Plaintiff attorneys. He has had success defending frivolous claims brought by Potter Handy and others and had success in defending these claims with dismissals and zero payouts for his clients. I would like to submit his name to you as a resource to affected businesses in our community.

Further, the current state of B street where First to Third Streets are still closed to traffic. I feel that these blockades should be removed to allow vehicular traffic. My experience in San Francisco's Mission District, where we had similar blockades placed on our streets to promote pedestrian activity, actually reduced the vitality of our community and decreased the overall traffic and activity in our area. A better solution is to have designated summer events like the former "Festa Italia" or a Block Party that only occurs on some designated day.

I respectfully submit these comments for your consideration in the hope that you will entertain them to assist in making our community a destination place again.

I am not a San Mateo resident (I live in Redwood City), but I often go up to San Mateo to eat in your downtown. I heard the City was considering reopening B Street to cars. I would just like to voice my opposition to this. I love having the pedestrian focused space to walk around in, window shop, and check on available restaurants. It’s nice to have an area to walk around in without the noise and exhaust of cars. I hope you’ll consider keeping it car-free.

I hope this letter finds you well. As a proud resident of San Mateo, I am writing to express my strong support for maintaining the 1st-2nd Ave block on B Street as a pedestrian mall and to urge you not to reopen it to cars. My wife and I have greatly enjoyed the walkable, welcoming atmosphere that the street closure has brought to our downtown area, and we frequent locations on this block such as Yifang, Koja Kitchen, and now Somi Somi and Kajiken.

The city has a great model for success: the 2nd Ave to 3rd Ave block! The pedestrian mall on B Street is cherished, attracting both residents and visitors alike. We are eager to see continued investment in making it feel more inviting, lively, safe, and accessible. It encourages people to spend time outside, enjoy local businesses, and engage with one another.

Reopening B Street to cars would not only disrupt this thriving environment but would also have negative consequences for the long-term development of our downtown. A pedestrian mall fosters a sense of community, promotes local businesses, and reduces pollution and noise from vehicles.

These qualities support a sustainable, vibrant downtown that will continue to attract new businesses and residents for years to come.

In conclusion, I respectfully request that the City Council prioritize the long-term benefits of a pedestrian mall over the short-term convenience of reopening B Street to cars. By keeping B Street closed to vehicles, we can continue to cultivate a thriving, walkable downtown that will be a source of pride for all San Mateo residents.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I trust that you will make the best decision for our community.

Subject: S. B-St closure 1st-3rd.

Dear City Council,
I am writing to express my concerns about the current status of the street closure and barricade uses in the area.

While I understand that these are not permanent fixtures, I believe that they do not present the area in its best light. As a property owner on S. B St and 1st Ave, watching and knowing the negative changes that took place on the block since the street closure, I kindly request and urge you to reopen the street! It has been almost two years since the S.B- St, 1st Ave -3rd, has been enclosed, while It is unclear what the future vision of the area is, the block looks like a ghost town. The business as well as the property owners are struggling and had lost revenues, while property owners had to take a cut on the monthly rent, while the building expense on the rise, as well as there are many vacancies, and the closure makes it difficult to secure a tenant. I walked the block and visited each of the businesses, I was able to speak with business owners and business managers. they are all against the street closure!
Last year I was informed by Ms. Jennifer from the City Of San Mateo Office, that a plan for the future look for the street closure was mailed out to the property owners, I have not received any document relating to the street closure, even though I had requested several times to have a copy emailed to me, as of today, I haven't yet received any, nor I was able to find any on the city's website.

Furthermore, last week I was also informed by my tenant, that a letter was sent out by the city to the business and property owners. I have not received a copy, I was able to find the street closure survey link on the city's website.

Also, if I may suggest that the city of San Mateo office update its mailing list? As I had experienced firsthand, a few years ago when I had to send a letter to the neighborhood to notify them of my property windows replacement, approx 80% of the mailer were returned due to no sufficient address. Therefore, when the city office personnel shared with me, that a notification for the street closure was mailed out to the property owners and no one had objected to the S. B street closure, it makes me wonder how many of these owners had received the mailed material.

I did not receive any mailers material!

Dear City Council Members,
This is Weiying from Koja Kitchen. I am writing to express my concern regarding the pedestrian mall located on 1st and 2nd Ave.. As a merchant of this city for the last 3 years, I have noticed a significant decrease in foot traffic in the area since the implementation of the pedestrian mall.

It is my belief that the street should be reopened to vehicle traffic in order to increase foot passage and stimulate economic growth in the area. Many of the businesses located on the block of 1st and 2nd Ave. have reported a decrease in sales since the pedestrian mall was put in place, and I believe that reopening the street would help to alleviate this issue.

Furthermore, I have observed that many pedestrians are avoiding the area altogether due to the lack of foot traffic and the inconvenience of having to navigate around the barriers and restricted areas. This has resulted in a negative impact on the overall vibrancy of the downtown area and has left many businesses struggling to stay afloat.

In light of these observations, I would like to request that the City Council consider reopening the street at an earlier date. I believe that this would help to stimulate economic growth in the area.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Weiying Cui

To: City Council (San Mateo) <[email protected]> Subject: Urgent Request to make outdoor dining permanent to prevent restaurant closures Dear City Council Members,
I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to urgently request your support in making outdoor dining a permanent fixture in our city. The recent upliftment of COVID restrictions by the government is indeed a positive step forward. However, it is important to acknowledge that the fear and hesitancy among the public still persist, which significantly impacts the number of customers willing to dine inside restaurants. As a result, the livelihood of many local businesses, including our restaurant, is at stake.

The pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges for the restaurant industry, with many establishments struggling to stay afloat. The introduction of outdoor dining has been a lifeline for us and countless others, allowing us to serve our customers while complying with safety protocols. However, if outdoor dining is discontinued, and with the looming recession, we face the grim possibility of having to close down our restaurant.

Outdoor dining has not only provided a safe and comfortable dining experience for our customers but has also allowed us to expand our seating capacity and generate crucial revenue. It has been instrumental in mitigating the financial losses we have incurred during the pandemic and keeping our employees employed. By making outdoor dining permanent, you would be safeguarding the livelihoods of not just our restaurant staff but also numerous individuals and families who depend on the local hospitality industry for their income.

The continuation of outdoor dining is essential not only for the survival of our business but also for the overall economic well-being of our city. The revenue generated by outdoor dining establishments contributes to the local economy, supporting suppliers, farmers, and other businesses in the hospitality sector. Additionally, outdoor dining has become an integral part of our city's identity, attracting visitors and enhancing the vibrancy of our community.

I implore the City Council to consider the potential ramifications of discontinuing outdoor dining. The closure of restaurants, particularly those that have been pillars of our community for years, would not only lead to job losses but also result in the loss of cherished gathering places for residents. We must strive to strike a balance between public health and economic recovery, and making outdoor dining permanent is a crucial step towards achieving this equilibrium.

Thank you for your attention and understanding of the challenges we face as a local business. I kindly request the City Council to prioritize the long-term sustainability of our restaurant and others like ours by making outdoor dining a permanent feature in our city. Your support will not only safeguard our business but also contribute to the revival and prosperity of our community as a whole.

I appreciate your time and consideration. Should you require any further information or support on this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Subject: Comment on Agenda Item 14 (Pedestrian Mall – Boundary Determination) for General Council Meeting on 5/15
Dear Councilmembers
My name is Arielle Angel and I am a San Mateo resident. I highly support keeping B St. between 1st and 2nd closed to vehicles all year round, and I have a number of reasons why:

1. I've been in San Mateo throughout the pandemic and have seen the benefits of outdoor dining when restaurants had patios out front between 1st and 2nd, when permitting for outdoor spaces was easier. I've continued to see heavy pedestrian activity between 1st and 2nd especially with the addition of Kajiken and Somi Somi ( in fact, any given night that Somi Somi is open late, you'll see lots of people using Urban Ritual's benches to enjoy their ice cream, proving that if there were more seating options, people will enjoy them). It's hard for me to believe that leaning in on pedestrianized street with a plethora of seating options would reduce foot traffic and hurt businesses...I think the opposite is true. In fact, I've heard several people say they visit Wursthall less ever since they got rid of their outdoor beer garden, which is such a shame.

2. I think we're incorrectly putting the onus on businesses to carry the burden of making the street more lively with building outdoor patios when it really should be the city driving and executing on the idea of pedestrianized streets. I've been to several similarly sized cities and neighborhoods in California and around the country where something as simple as benches, fun street painting, wine barrels, or planters were utilized to attract people to buy food and enjoy on the pedestrian street. These streets were packed, lively, and kept businesses busy throughout open hours. These small adjustments don't get in the way of delivery or emergency vehicles, and in fact made it easier for emergency vehicles to access businesses as parked cars were not in the way.

3. It seems a bit odd that a decision is being made based on just 20 responses. I feel like this issue concerns the hundreds of citizens who enjoy and utilize the pedestrian street every day and we're ignoring their voices. In fact, based on a resident survey of 211 of 1058
738 participants, folks voted largely in favor of keeping the street closed to cars (82% in fact).

4. Finally at the end of the day, once again, we are entertaining the idea of making it easier for those who own a vehicle to enjoy B st., making it less safe and accessible for those without a car. This is not equitable. Owning a vehicle in today's economic climate is a heavy financial burden, so many people choose to live without one. We should be taking this into consideration every single time the city is considering any infrastructure improvement.

Thank you for your time.

Subject: Please keep B street car-free
Dear Council,
Regarding agenda item 14 tonight, I urge you to preserve B st as a pedestrian mall including between 1st and 2nd street, and to allow businesses to build parklet platforms.

It takes political courage to override the wishes of a majority of the businesses on that block. And the health of our small business community is critical. But our downtown streets belong to the people of the city, not just the current businesses on the bloc. We need to look towards building the San Mateo of the future, not of the past.

A future where mass transit, biking, and walking make up a significantly greater proportion of travel than it does today.

A future where downtown residential density will increase to meet housing goals, giving us a greater population of people nearby to take advantage of these streets.

And a future where the city beautifies these streets and helps it fill out with parklets, leading businesses to feel supported and see the positive impact of a beautiful, people-first city core.

When I moved here in March of 2022, B street was a thriving communal place. All that changed when the city forced businesses to tear down their parklets and we entered an exceptionally long rainy season. The city has not done right by these local businesses. Instead of using B street for festivals, we should support great parklet structures and even consider allocating funding towards this effort to support these businesses. And these blocks should be beautified, not left as barren open pavement.

When I visit the downtown of cities on the peninsula, such as Redwood City, I am embarrassed for San Mateo. Peninsula cities have proven that beautiful, functional pedestrian malls can enhance quality of life and support businesses. San Mateo can and must do better than we have here, and reducing our pedestrian space would be a step even further backwards.

Respectfully,
- Richard Ballard
San Mateo Resident

Hello city councilmembers,
I know the north section of the pedestrian mall looks empty sometimes, but please remember what it looked like before. Traffic was always at a standstill, idling cars were loud, and people walking barely had any room on the way too narrow sidewalks.

So if its underutilized, then utilize it! Have farmers markets, flea markets, even just put out some benches and tables so when people go get their Philz coffee, their somisomi, or things from other blocks, they stay downtown to eat it instead of needing to go to central park to find a place to sit. A lovely park, but taking consumers out of downtown.

Don't take down the mall, it definitely hasn't reached its full potential, but it's already better than it was when it was clogged with cars.

Hello,
I'm reaching out as a resident of San Mateo County and a frequenter of downtown San Mateo.

Over the past few years, I've watched downtown San Mateo change in a wonderful way.

For the first time ever, I've seen cyclists, pedestrians, runners, and everyone in between share a communal space for dining, entertainment, and togetherness. Without the closure of streets to vehicle traffic, this would simply be impossible.

I've always been in favor of designing spaces catered toward humans. When walking on the sidewalk of a street with traffic, I feel separated from my fellow humans by a river of pollution, noise, and fear. Imagine two embankments of a river, both with stores, food, and liveliness, but disconnected from one another.

Please, when making this decision Monday night, remember the human. Remember the family who sits in the street and enjoys the evening sunset. Remember the cyclist who takes this route to avoid risking his own life. Remember the human.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

As I am out of town and unable to attend the May 15th meeting I would like to, once again address the closure of B Street, specifically between First and Second Avenue.

We are property owners of 147, 149, 151, 153 and 159B Street. Also 307, 315, and 321 Second Avenue. We also own and operate San Mateo Lock Works at 321 Second Avenue.
1 Having spoken with other property owners on B Street between First and Second I can confidently say we would like to see the First to Second block reopened. 2 It has created a hardship in leasing the commercial spaces. There are six unoccupied spaces and all have been vacant for at least 18 months. 3 Only one business uses B Street between First and Second. 4 The closed area of B Street between Second and Third needs to be upgraded.

Although it is used it is functional it pales in comparison to streets our neighboring cities have repurposed.
5 Funds should be concentrated on Second to Third.

Please give this matter serious,

Subject: Pedestrian B Street Mall
May13, 2023
Honorable Mayor Amourence Lee
Deputy Mayor Lisa Diaz Nash
Council Members Adam Loraine, Robert Newsom, and Rich Hedges [email protected]
[email protected]
Dear Mayor and City Council,
I'm writing in response to an article I read in the San Mateo Daily Journal on the reopening of one block of B Street, specifically the one between 1st and 2nd street and the proposed discussion of this issue on May 15th. I am very concerned that some members of council are considering only doing one block of B street due to some limited research into the proposed pedestrian mall proposal. The issues cited in the article are: lack of use and atmosphere; lack of parking or difficulty parking for patrons and/or delivery food drivers; and lack of accessible parking stalls. The article also states that a staff report was conducted showing dissatisfaction from the businesses on B street at the lack of pedestrian use and parking difficulties.

First, I am very curious as to when the staff report was conducted. If it occurred anytime AFTER the parklets were deconstructed (approx. May of 2022) then the study is tainted. The atmosphere and pedestrian use of B Street mall has suffered and changed since the parklet removal mandate which required all businesses to remove their parklets or pay for the monthly use of the parking spaces. Prior to the parklet removal B Street was, if not thriving, then at least becoming an activated outdoor space like Burlingame and San Carlos's outdoor dining areas. San Mateo's City mandate to remove or pay even applied to the businesses that had constructed some very expensive level eating decks with shade structures in the 2-block proposed Pedestrian Mall. Including these businesses, while fair to the other downtown businesses, in the parklet removal right before the summer season caused a definite lessening of pedestrian activation. BlueBottle had a wonderful chic wood deck that it was forced to dismantle and Dahlia had a very active outdoor dining area that was probably not helped by its removal. Some small enterprising businesses have managed to put out some non-permanent rolling landscaping and moveable seating. But the danger of coffee or lunch rolling off a table that is sitting on sloped asphalt is real. Also, sitting outside now without permanent shade structures has become uncomfortable, hot and not very nice. The Phase 2 planned widening of the sidewalk for level eating areas will greatly help the atmosphere and comfort of the pedestrian mall, but currently the businesses are not able to envision this or are willing to wait for this to happen. Please let these businesses create more permanent parklets again until the leveling of the street is able to be realized. It will make the pedestrians more likely to return.

The second issue with businesses believing that a few parking spaces adjacent to their business is going to magically solve their patrons desire for a short walk from car to business is not logical. San Mateo has plenty of parking in parking garages, but very few people are willing to walk the extra 1/4 mile to utilize them. Closing B Street between 2nd and 1st is actually the one block that has the most parking available 228 of 1058
with the adjacent parking garage. If food delivery (UBER etc) parking is desired, provide for short timed parking within the ground floor of the parking garage. Businesses that have opened since the parklet removal do not have any idea of what B street used to look like with pedestrians spending time eating outdoors in front of businesses. Relating a lack of customers to parking is not a realistic equation. Pedestrian malls have been shown to actually generate more business for retailers. I think it would be a great idea if planning staff and the council looked into actual examples of successful pedestrian street transitions before scrapping what could actually be a boon to the businesses on B street.

Finally, there are currently 8 accessible spaces within the ground floor of the parking garage adjacent to Main street. To my knowledge the B street pedestrian mall did not remove ANY accessible street parking spots, therefore there has been no removal of accessible spaces due to the pedestrian mall. If I'm wrong, it appears that there are plans to add accessible parking on 2nd street and this argument seems to be a mute point.

I have been saddened by the lessening of the B-street pedestrian mall's vibrancy since the removal of the parklets, but I believe if the Council would continue to research and offer concessions such as level parklets and semi-permanent shade areas until Phase 2 occurs B street could once again become revitalized. I realize that this would be a cost to the businesses, but perhaps this is something that the downtown business association could come up with a creative fundraiser for? I would even like to propose that the B-street pedestrian mall continue down to the train station as I believe the activated area outside Wursthall during the pandemic was highly used. Continuing the pedestrian mall would enhance the connection between public transit and the core of downtown 3rd street.

Thank you for your consideration of these issues. I have great respect for all the moving parts and careful attention to the needs of those involved that is required. I look forward to seeing what the City Council can create for downtown.

Sincerely,
Leane Eberhart

San Mateo City Council Members;
I infer from the "parklet" platform proposal that City staff is very aware of potential advantages to strategically removing on-street motor vehicle parking.

As a recent transplant from Santa Cruz, where I lived with several versions of the Pacific Avenue "Garden Mall" I urge City Council to take this opportunity to maximize pedestrian traffic on B Street in a long-term way.

Business owners are typically experts in their specific businesses, but it is important that they not be mistaken for City planners.

Anecdotal reports of customer dissatisfaction could be examined by an objective person if the date and context of the complaints were known, but very few of us live in a laboratory.

After documenting more than 2000 hours of deliveries I made in downtown Santa Cruz, I saw very few instances where cars in the downtown area weren't more of an obstacle than a mobility tool.

Thanks for your careful consideration of this important question.

To the City Council,
My wife and I moved to San Mateo in early 2022 and were delighted by the impressive ecosystem of outdoor dining downtown. We spent a weekend here before moving to get a feel for the town, and ate at a great outdoor restaurant on the B Street pedestrian mall. Imagine my dismay as I was biking to work one day, after we moved here, and saw restaurant after restaurant dismantling nearly all of the outdoor dining spaces--due to onerous city requirements and fees.

Simply visit neighboring San Carlos or Burlingame (as we now do when we want to eat out) to see how successful and charming outdoor dining can be! I was thrilled to learn that those 2 blocks of B Street would become permanent pedestrian spaces...but now that plan is also under threat. I'm perplexed and disheartened. I would love to see most of the downtown core turned to pedestrian malls, a strategy that has enlivened many city centers in Europe.

I'm baffled that the city isn't taking the win-win of easy pedestrian/bicycle access:
downtown would be far more inviting, drawing in more money to benefit local businesses. In the meantime, when we want to eat out on a lovely spring day, we will most likely head to San Carlos.

Downtown San Mateo has plenty of parking, including multiple parking garages. For the sake of the climate, the economy, and the local quality of life, please ensure that-- at the very least--two blocks of B Street remain closed to cars.

Sincerely,
Matt Harray

Hello,
As a fairly new San Mateo resident, the pedestrianized section of B St was a major draw to the city. My spouse and I love being able to dine outdoors and walk safely downtown. This keeps downtown vibrant and encourages community connections. In a very car-focused suburban culture, it is a great source of joy to have a pedestrianized part of our downtown, and we hope you will maintain this closure and continue to invest in it.

I am writing to you today to express my strong support for keeping B Street car-free. I am a San Mateo resident who moved here within the past year, and the pedestrian mall was a big part of what drew me to the city. I love the way the pedestrian mall makes downtown feel like a lively, accessible gathering space. It is a great place to walk, bike, and socialize with friends and family. I also feel very safe in the pedestrian mall, knowing that there are no cars to worry about.

I understand that there have been some concerns raised by some businesses about the impact of the pedestrian mall on their bottom line. However, I believe that these concerns are unfounded. In fact, a recent resident survey showed that we overwhelmingly want a pedestrian mall. Of 738 respondents, 82% wanted B Street between 1st and 2nd to remain closed; 87% wanted B Street between 2nd and 3rd to remain closed (source).

In addition, walkable, people-friendly streets are more economically productive.

Communities with more walkable streets have higher property values, more jobs, and more tax revenue. (source)
The businesses between 2nd and 3rd invested in outdoor areas and created a vibrant atmosphere. Even the businesses between 1st and 2nd that ask for the street to reopen to cars acknowledge the success of the businesses on the other block. We should be trying to replicate that success, not reopen to cars.

The City hasn’t done enough to make this space inviting and attractive. We should be helping those businesses to thrive, especially going into summer:
• Reduce the onerous requirements for outdoor dining areas and parklet construction.
• Provide financial support to build inviting outdoor spaces (funding source - market rate parking fees).
• Build an inviting space with lighting, greenery and seating. 245 of 1058
We shouldn’t make long-lasting policy based on the desires of less than 20 businesses with a high turnover rate. We should base long-term policy on the people who live, work, and recreate in San Mateo.

I urge you to keep B Street car-free. It is a vital part of our downtown and it makes our city a better place to live, work, and play.

Sincerely,
Daniel Hoekwater

Hi council members,
My name is Kailun Wu and I’m a resident of San Mateo on Edison St. Thank you for reading my email. I’d like to comment on the upcoming decision on B Street.

There’s always going to be trade-offs but I think keeping B Street car-free ultimately creates a better quality of life that we can be proud of. Reason being:

1. We have parking next block on Main St and have adjacent streets open to cars already. Cars don’t have to be 100% on every single road. I drive to downtown and had no problem parking in the garage.

2. Quality of life is much greater where people can enjoy themselves without traffic. Look elsewhere: Burlingame Ave, Palo Alto, SF, much of Europe, etc.

Businesses boom when pedestrians are welcomed.

3. The focus should be on how to make B Street pleasant and inviting for outdoor dining and shopping. Think: how to deregulate and promote outdoor seating and vendors, more trees and plants

4. New, denser constructions near downtown means more people walking by, which calls for more pedestrian mall/plaza/street.

In the end, here are some pictures I took with my baby and friends on B St. Please do the right thing and keep this vibe alive. San Mateo is unique because of the signature walkable downtown so let’s not ruin it. Thank you!
Regards,
Kailun Wu

I’m a resident that lives over on barneson ave. B street is by far my favorite street in all of San Mateo, and I frequently eat there and tell my friends to meet me there to eat because it’s a short walk from the Caltrain station and other easily accessible parking, and is a quiet, safe, and enjoyable space to be in due to the lack of cars. This space secluded from cars is one of the only places in the city/county other than Central Park where I feel a part of the community because you can see so many people enjoying being together outside, and not crammed onto sidewalks or inside the buildings. It would irreversibly devastate the character of this city to allow cars into these spaces.

It is extremely likely that I would stop recommending going to B street altogether if this change were to be enacted because it’s simply not enjoyable to be near cars.

Please I beg you, keep B street as the best street. Don’t allow cars into this space.

Best,

Subject: Pedestrian streets and outdoor dining
Hello council members
I understand you’ll be meeting to discuss B Street and downtown planning this week.

I wanted to share a comment and ask a question.

I strongly support pedestrian streets and pedestrian friendly infrastructure generally. I am in principal a big fan of B Street being pedestrianized.

My family has been dismayed to see all of the outdoor dining options disappear in downtown San Mateo over the past year. It happened all at once, so I’ve assumed that some sort of permit expired to convert parking spaces into dining space. Throughout the pandemic we enjoyed these spaces weekly at a variety of restaurants (though I don’t recall B Street having any, except for Wursthall).

Why did all of the outdoor dining areas in parking spaces disappear? My family never dines in San Mateo any more. We now go to Burlingame or San Carlos, both of which appear to have thriving downtowns and plenty of comfortable and tasteful outside seating. It’s pleasant and takes advantage of our climate (extra rainy winter days excluded, perhaps). It’s a real bummer to see downtown San Mateo miss the boat so completely.

If I had to choose one or the other, I’d definitely choose allowing / encouraging parklets for dining instead of pedestrianizing B Street. Ideally we can have both in our town. If restaurants along B don’t want to take heavy advantage of the space, I would focus on parklets.

Thank you

Subject: Public Comment on Pedestrian Mall
Hello,
My name is Jill; I'm a professor, writer, and resident of San Mateo since 2011. I'd like to voice my strong support for keeping the pedestrian mall open, and to allow construction of new parklets.

I understand the need for parking, but I think, with the new parking garages (which are never full!) and new 24-minute parking spaces for picking up orders/deliveries), the benefits FAR outweigh the need for parking. Yes, many people are working from home and using delivery apps. Yes, we need deliveries/trash collection. But many people working from home would love to take a walk to get coffee. To take a meeting.

To grab lunch and get exercise. But right now, it's a "dead zone," as survey takers noted, because we have put nothing there. Simply closing the street is not enough.

I love downtown San Mateo, and I've loved it even more since the birth of my daughter and the closure of streets to traffic. It's far more pleasant. Every resident I know feels this way. The walkable mall encourages me to visit more local businesses- -I visit much more often now that we can safely walk. But I noticed on recent visits that there is hardly anywhere to sit! There are many people walking around who have clearly visited multiple businesses (bubble tea in one hand, takeout food in another, etc), but they cannot sit and enjoy (or decide on impulse to visit another business) easily without more parklets. The current design is not inviting people to stay, to spend more money; instead, it's encouraging them to leave.

Adding more places for pedestrians to sit and enjoy what they purchase will allow for an even more vibrant downtown, and encourage more engagement with our local businesses. When you make the mall a more pleasant place to be, I am certain that people will use it even more than they already are. Every parent I know loves that there are places that are closed to the noise and the danger of cars. Many of us miss the outdoor dining that popped up during the pandemic and is now gone. But outdoor dining is much more pleasant without the exhaust smells and noise of traffic. We have such wonderful weather most of the year--let's take advantage of it! If we want our downtown to stay vibrant, we have to invest in making it welcoming. Adding more traffic with more cars will never do that. Walkable cities are better cities. 260 of 1058
When I visited Europe many years ago, that walkability was something I couldn't ignore. In every city, people spent time outside nearly all day. San Mateo is already a destination--I often hear (and have read) that people visit San Mateo when other cities don't feel as accessible. Let's make San Mateo a city that we can be even more proud of. Please be bold, and invest in making the pedestrian mall beautiful--at least seasonally, if not permanently. Please think long-term instead of short-term. I love our downtown businesses, and I want them to stay open. I really believe this is the way to do so.

Thank you!
Jill

During the general meeting scheduled for 5/15, you will be asked to decide if San Mateo will keep B Street between 1st and 2nd closed to automobiles. I urge you to keep B Street car free!
At issue during your decision making process is the results of a survey of 20 business owners on B Street that will be presented on 5/15. I ask you, why is the survey of a small sample being given such large consideration? From an earlier survey of the entire city, 738 respondents, 82% wanted B Street between 1st and 2nd to remain closed; 87% wanted B Street between 2nd and 3rd to remain closed (source).

Additionally, I ask Council and City staff, why wasn't a survey given out to all downtown San Mateo business owners about restaurant business success due to the parklet program? I doubt that the additional revenue that businesses like Gao, Wursthall, and Taishoken received due to amazing outdoor dining options from the pilot parklet program have been taken into consideration. Using only one survey of 20 business owners (80% of new businesses will fail in 2 years) over surveys of city residents and the entire business community is an inadequate tool for determining to keep B Street car free.

I'm curious as to why no research was given to understanding the lack of new parklets on the 1st and 2nd block of B Street. Philz, Curry Up Now, and Dalia all had parklet structures that the city forced them to destroy. Lack of support and direction meant 1st/2nd street businesses refused to build new parklets, keeping B Street a barren space. The city has had an opportunity for 3 years to implement a loan or revenue sharing program to encourage businesses to build parklets not only on B Street, but around the city. Instead, due to lack of engagement and investment from the city, parklet spaces around San Mateo remain at incredible lows compared to March 2021 when the pilot program was in effect.

Due to the open space, I also ask, why has the city refused to greenlight any quick builds of public amenities on B Street? The city does nothing to make the space an inviting place to commune and solicit feedback on quick build designs, and then has no real answer when businesses complain that the 1st/2nd block of B Street is dead. 262 of 1058
Why has the city not followed through with using the block as an event space? One or two festivals a year is a massive underutilization of the space. A weekly farmer's market could easily bring in pedestrian traffic that has beneficial spillover effects for neighboring businesses.

Releasing cars onto B Street will turn it back into a parking lot, the likes of which we see at Costco or any other car centric suburbia. If City Council wants to reopen B Street to traffic causing cars, then I urge Councilmembers to run a circulation study of downtown San Mateo first, with the specific direction of understanding how pedestrian infrastructure allows for far more people to travel through dense city streets, unlike auto centric infrastructure that easily clogs up our downtown streets. A freeway, downtown San Mateo is certainly not!
Thank You,

To: City Council (San Mateo) <[email protected]>; Subject: Save the Pedestrian Mall - from a high school student! Hello Councilmembers and staff,
I'm Yiming and I'm a high school student at Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough. I commute almost everyday through San Mateo and after school I often go downtown to hang out with friends. I'm baffled as to why San Mateo is even considering closing the pedestrian mall - it is one of the key reasons why downtown is so great.

Especially in front of popular restaurants that just opened up like Somisomi and Kajiken, the pedestrian mall is essential for the waiting lines, and the open space accommodates more people than a narrow strip of sidewalk ever could. With the live music across from the theater at The Barrel, the city comes alive at night and people can enjoy their food (relatively) away from the smog and noise of cars.

I believe the city should consider expanding the boundaries of the pedestrian mall. People overwhelmingly enjoy car-free spaces to walk around and hang out in. People like to be around other people, not cars; if it were the other way around, the highway would be the best way to socialize.

The city should also consider relaxing the regulations around parklets; in a business owner's survey, many noted onerous regulations and high costs to be the reason why they didn't build a parklet.

A city survey revealed that 99.5% of people would visit downtown the same or more often with the pedestrian mall, and 82% wanted B Street between 1st and 2nd to remain closed, while 87% wanted B Street between 2nd and 3rd to remain closed. These numbers indicate broad and widespread support for these car-free spaces. Please preserve the current pedestrian mall! Thanks,
Yiming

As a mother with young kids, outdoor seating opens a lot of restaurants to my family that might not have felt comfortable before. We have enjoyed the outdoor Biergarten at Wursthall and I would love for it to be reinstated. I think all residents of San Mateo have enjoyed the expanded outdoor restaurant spaces and pedestrian streets begun during the pandemic. San Mateo should continue to invest in and support outdoor spaces for businesses.

Subject: B St. Pedestrian Mall
Hello City Council,
Attached are my comments on Agenda Item #14 for today's Regular Meeting, Pedestrian Mall - Boundary Determination:

Dear San Mateo City Council, my name is Tyson Mao and I am the owner of Wursthall. We are a restaurant and biergarden located at Baldwin Ave and B St.

When San Mateo closed streets and made the space available for outdoor dining, we participated by placing outdoor tables and benches for the community. I, like many others, found it to be an extremely pleasant experience. It was a literal breath of fresh air, and I feel that many would agree that the relaxed atmosphere of locals enjoying some food, drink, and socialization was a welcome contribution of vibrancy to San Mateo.

While covid was difficult, outdoor dining allowed Wursthall to reach our pre-pandemic revenue numbers. We were able to retain our staff and provide assistance through community donations. Wursthall was running at an annual revenue rate of approximately $3.2M when we had outdoor dining.

When San Mateo removed the outdoor dining space, we immediately saw a sharp decline in traffic. Wursthall’s annual revenue rate dropped more than $1M down to $2M which meant we had to lay off staff and reduce hours. I know that 44%, or 8 of the businesses between 1st and 2nd, said that closing the street led to reduced revenues, but for us it was the exact opposite. Reopening our street - replacing our biergarden with parking and traffic - led to a 33% drop in revenue.

This is also consistent with the fact that it is unlikely that a parking space outside of my business is occupied by a customer that is specifically visiting my business. There are many businesses in downtown San Mateo, and statistically, it is not realistic that an immediate parking space results in a meaningful amount of business revenue.

As of today, Wursthall is no longer profitable without the outdoor space. While our business will do the best that we can to cut additional costs and improve other business metrics, I will be forced to close the business in September of 2025 after our lease term if we cannot turn the business around.

San Mateo has offered a program to install parklets on parking spaces, but it is not financially viable. With the increase of construction 270 of 1058
materials and labor, an outdoor parklet would cost our business $70k and given that the area only covers two parking spaces, I cannot seat a sufficient number of customers to pay back the construction expense.

It is much easier to monetize the pedestrian mall as we can create outdoor seating in an economically sensible way.

The city and local business should collaborate to help increase the vibrancy of the block between 1st and 2nd on B St. Our business served as an example that there is an appetite by the community for outdoor gathering. The city can invest in cheap outdoor seating like picnic tables, and can allow other businesses to use the blocks: food trucks and street carts as an example. Wursthall is happy to support these efforts as much as possible, and we’re happy to explore cross promotion, events, and other mechanisms to help activate the block.

To summarize, I would like to speak in support of keeping the pedestrian mall between 1st and 2nd available for businesses and I am happy to share our learnings and to assist in creating spaces that help foster a closer sense of community.

Hello City Council,
I am writing to you in support of keeping B St between 1st and 2nd Avenues closed to vehicular traffic.

In March 2021, during the height of the pandemic, the City of San Mateo conducted a community survey about the B St closure. Of the 738 respondents, 87% (580) wanted B St between 2nd and 3rd Avenues to remain closed and 82% (544) wanted B St between 1st and 2nd Avenues to remain closed:
70% of respondents (494) wanted the street closure to be year-round:
57% of respondents (421) said they would visit downtown more often if B St was closed to vehicular traffic. Only 7% (54) said they would visit less often:
272 of 1058
When the City decided to keep B St closed between 1st and 3rd Avenues, it required the businesses along the pedestrian mall to remove their permanent parklets. What happened next was a literal A/B Test on the effects of outdoor infrastructure.

The businesses between 2nd and 3rd decided to “rebuild”, investing in flexible outdoor seating, shade, and partitions that could be dismantled and removed for street festivals. The result has been a vibrant outdoor atmosphere that is bustling on evenings and weekends. The success of this effort is reflected in the business owners’ survey results.
67% of the business owners between 2nd and 3rd (10 of 15) believe that the street closure has increased foot traffic and 40% (6 of 15) believe it has increased revenues:
273 of 1058
63% of the business owners between 2nd and 3rd (10 of 16) would like their block to remain closed to vehicular traffic year-round:

The businesses between 1st and 2nd, on the other hand, primarily chose not to reinvest. Only Fogbird and Urban Ritual have provided outdoor seating. The result is a block that feels inactive and underutilized.

Unsurprisingly, 39% of the business owners between 1st and 2nd (7 of 18) believe that the street closure has reduced foot traffic and 44% (8 of 18) believe it has decreased revenues:
274 of 1058
63% of the business owners between 1st and 2nd (12 of 19) would like their block to reopen to vehicular traffic year-round:

I believe the lack of vibrancy between 1st and 2nd is due to lack of outdoor infrastructure, not lack of interest or demand from patrons. Even without infrastructure the block attracts a fair amount of activity during evenings and weekends. I took these photos earlier today (Sunday, May 275 of 1058
14th 2023). As is typical during peak hours, there was a long line of patrons waiting to get into Kajiken.

It was 71 degrees outside and quite hot in the direct sunlight so patrons kept trying to wait against the building in the shade. During the 30 minutes I waited in line, staff came out a handful of times to ask patrons to please wait in the street so they weren’t blocking the other entrances. Some umbrellas for shade would easily solve this problem.

After lunch my family went to SomiSomi for ice cream where there was a good sized crowd.

SomiSomi does not provide indoor or outdoor seating so many patrons were standing or crouching in the street or sitting on curbs. Urban Ritual’s seating was packed, and every single person sitting there was eating ice cream from SomiSomi. Several patrons of Urban Ritual were standing at Fogbird’s outdoor counter. (Fogbird was closed at the time.) 276 of 1058

I believe that over time these storefronts will transition to businesses that are interested in monetizing the pedestrian mall and investing in a vibrant atmosphere. In the meantime I believe the City Council should consider easing that transition by the following:

1. Run an experiment over the summer
The weather is just starting to get nice. Perhaps Parks and Rec has some extra picnic tables that could be placed on the pedestrian mall between 1st and 2nd? Or maybe the City could use some of the general funds to rent outdoor furniture for the summer? I think that “if you build it, they will come”. If I am correct, and the vibrancy of this block is increased with outdoor furniture, perhaps that will encourage the current businesses to invest in outdoor infrastructure and monetize the space.

2. Allow other businesses to activate the block
If the businesses between 1st and 2nd are unwilling or unable to activate the pedestrian mall, allow other businesses to monetize the block. Some ideas:
● Allow the businesses on the adjacent blocks (between Baldwin and 1st and between 2nd and 3rd) to provide outdoor dining between 1st and 2nd ● Allow food trucks and food carts between 1st and 2nd
● Host a farmer’s market between 1st and 2nd every weekend

3. Facilitate the transition to businesses that want to activate the block It’s my understanding that all of the restaurants between Baldwin and 1st wanted their block to remain closed to vehicular traffic, with the exception of China Bee which has since shut down. Some of these businesses saw substantial revenue losses after their block reopened.

It’s extremely unfortunate that all of the restaurants on one block want their block to be closed, but it’s currently open, while 6 of 11 restaurants on the adjacent block want their block to be open, but it’s currently closed. Perhaps there is a creative solution - could the city help facilitate lease swaps between these businesses?
Longer term, perhaps the city could help attract businesses that want to monetize the pedestrian mall by providing incentives (funding? reduced taxes?) for businesses that invest in outdoor infrastructure? The city could also consider requiring new businesses to provide outdoor seating.

Ultimately, I don’t think the City should make long-term policy decisions based on the desires of a small number of businesses (12) that historically have a high rate of turnover. (Will this decision be revisited every time there’s substantial turnover?) Rather, I think the City should prioritize the opinions of the people who live, work and patronize San Mateo when making policy decisions, as reflected in the community survey of 738 people.

The City has the power to create a vibrant downtown and build community - please invest in the pedestrian mall between 1st and 2nd Avenue and help facilitate the transition to businesses that want to activate the space.

Subject: On B Street
Dear Councilmembers,
I encourage the council to re-frame the discussion this evening about B Street pedestrianization to survey the community's needs and wants--not the existing merchants.

To re-frame it effectively:

There are possibly more residential tenants in 2nd floor apartments on B Street between 1st & 2nd than there are merchants--they were of course not surveyed 🙂🙂 B Street is an investment decision about investing in ourselves, not an investment in an existing group of merchants--a group of merchants who have demonstrated an unwillingness to co-invest in the public space so far.

It's important to remember that merchants come and go at shockingly high turnover (~50% fail in 5 years).

This statistic is not unique to downtown San Mateo.

But investment into a permanent infrastructure for B Street will be for decades to come--while sizeable capital investment it will have very low recurring operational costs.

Most importantly this decision about B Street sets the tone for the city's future:
whether San Mateo is a destination for humans or for cars? If it is too difficult to get a read on the success or failure of pedestrianization right now council can postpone the decisionmaking--and expect to see the flourishing foot traffic the summer season will bring to the street.

Yours truly,
Max Mautner

Dear City Council,
Please vote to keep the street closures to cars on B street. Please also vote to invest in more seating, shade, beautification and development of the street closures.

Spending time in downtown RWC or San Carlos is so much more enjoyable and less stress. These downtowns have focused on providing a pedestrian experience, pedestrians are prioritized and their safety.

It would be wonderful to have plentiful seating on these streets as well. Groups could get food from various businesses, then go and sit together to eat and hang out.

As a mom of young kids, I would love to meet up with families down town to eat and hang out. My young kids don’t want to sit still in a restaurant. Having outdoor seating to bring out take to would great. Currently the only place to do this is Central Park.

Bring bubbles, side walk chalk and it’s a party.

Thank you,
Bry Myers

Subject: Please keep B St. closed to cars.

Hi, I live near downtown San Mateo, and I'm strongly in favor of keeping B St. pedestrianized and closed to cars.

Plenty of research has shown that pedestrian-oriented streets are more economically productive than any other kind of development. Strong Towns has demonstrated this as has Resilience, a non-profit dedicated to transitioning away from fossil fuels.

This makes economic sense. Restaurants are essentially in the business of renting out real estate per hour, and one way to increase revenue is to increase real estate. In San Mateo, restaurants like Pausa and Avenida have been able to cut through our onerous parklet restrictions, and they’ve been rewarded with parklets that satisfy more customers. This consequently brings in more revenue and even job creation. They don’t need a couple extra parking spots in front of their restaurant. They need more space, and more foot traffic.

The idea that the street closures hurt businesses is easily falsifiable. There are countless cities across the globe that have bustling economic activity on their closed streets. This includes our neighbors like San Carlos, and Mountain View. Even here in San Mateo, the block between 2nd and 3rd is hopping, especially now that the rain has relented. Our newest businesses, Somi Somi, and Kajiken have huge lines everyday, on the supposedly less vibrant block of B St.

During the pandemic, Wursthall’s outdoor space was regularly jam-packed with a festive atmosphere despite a lack of adjacent parking. Plus, the inverse is obviously untrue; over the years San Mateo has seen many businesses close on car-accessible streets with ample parking.

Retail businesses have a short shelf life, and the whims of a couple short-lived businesses shouldn’t dictate policy that may last for decades. We should listen to the populace: from a recent City of San Mateo Survey, out of 738 respondents, 82% wanted the block between 1st and 2nd to remain closed, and 92% indicated they would visit more often or the same amount if the streets remain closed.

I urge you to keep B St closed to cars, and let’s see what we can do to further activate the walkable space on B St. 1st and 2nd, for new and existing businesses.

Thank you,
Jonathan New

Subject: Keeping the streets closed in downtown San Mateo Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to express my strong support for keeping the streets closed in downtown San Mateo. The closure has been a welcome change, providing a safer and more pleasant environment for pedestrians and cyclists to move around the area. It has also allowed for more outdoor seating options for restaurants and cafes in the area, which has been a much-needed boost for businesses struggling due to the pandemic.

However, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that the closure isn't currently being utilized to its full potential. As it stands now, it is just empty space, except for the outdoor seating for Peet’s and standing space for people waiting on Kajiken. I believe that if there was a plan to do something with the space, such as hosting food trucks, farmers markets, or other events, it would be more impactful and beneficial for the community.

I urge you to consider this request and work towards creating a plan that would make better use of the street closure. By doing so, we can continue to improve the downtown area and provide more opportunities for businesses and residents alike.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Hector Quintero

Subject: B Street
Good afternoon Council members,
I urge the council to keep B Street fully closed to cars.

The downtown of San Mateo has been lacking for many years now. The closure of B Street during the pandemic was the first right step to make San Mateo Downtown a more attractive destination.

As a San Mateo resident I believe our downtown should be a destination for people to gather - not a convenient parking spot.

It would be a disaster for San Mateo and its residents to open any part of B Street back up for cars.

The trend is clearly towards walkable downtowns, this is a generational decision and a first step towards this.

I feel embarrassed that this item is even on the agenda. That street should be filled with restaurant parklets and beautified with trees going forward. Redwood City and other cities have done this very successfully! There are two major parking garages directly adjacent to B Street and many more in convenient walking distance.

The use of public spaces should not be dictated by a few loud local businesses, but what the residents of San Mateo think is best for their downtown.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best, Kolja

Subject: Please support outdoor dining downtown!
I loved the outdoor Biergarten at Wursthall and I want it to come back. San Mateo should invest in and support outdoor spaces for businesses and residents to thrive! The more outdoor spaces available to consumers will allow for more revenue to flow into San Mateo County, specifically San Mateo.

Burlingame, San Carlos, & Palo Alto do not have outdoor seating to offer.

My ask if to allow outdoor seating which provides a competitive edge to San Mateo creating an influx of foot traffic which multiple business' can creat greater value and profits. These profits make there way back to San Mateo county.

Best,

I loved the outdoor Biergarten at Wursthall and I want it to come back - I also love all the outdoor seating that came up during the pandemic and is now gone. It was so nice to be able to enjoy our restaurants outdoors, and I’ve been so sad to see it gone.

San Mateo should invest in and support outdoor spaces for businesses and residents to thrive! Thanks for your consideration.

Honorable Mayor Lee and City Council
Please save the pedestrian mall on B Street in San Mateo, between 1st and 3rd.

My wife and I regularly walk downtown to the restaurants in that area; opening B street to cars will greatly reduce the number of times that we travel there.

Walking downtown is now enjoyable at all times, and we don't walk to just the businesses on B
Please don't honor the car by opening up more areas.

Business owners are in for a surprise - they will see more cars parked in front of their buildings, but wonder why business volume does not return. Consider this: The businesses on B will find that opening to cars will create more congestion, REDUCING their business volume.

Subject: Keep B Street Car Free, Please
Dear Councilmembers,
While I am a Planning Commissioner in San Mateo, I am writing as a resident and staunch supporter of a thriving downtown San Mateo. I am urging you not to re-open B Street from 1st to 2nd to cars. My logic is simple:

1. For downtown to thrive as a retail environment, it needs to outcompete its competition, such as Hillsdale, Burlingame Ave, and Bridgepointe.

2. To outcompete its class, it needs a competitive advantage.

3. Car-free B Street is just such an advantage, and it offers a unique experience that neither visitors nor merchants can get nearby.

4. Removing this advantage makes downtown less competitive, and less likely to thrive.

5. While three blocks would've been better than two, two blocks is better than one, and increases the impact of our distinctive environment that we've created through getting cars off of this stretch of B Street.

As such, I hope you agree that this matter has impacts far beyond one block, and certainly far beyond a subset of the tenants of one block. While surveying them is no doubt important, it is not nearly a full picture of the stakeholder body (keeping it closed is broadly supported) and now is not the time to make this decision.

Please think strategically about the resiliency of the symbiotic whole of downtown, recognize the unique character-defining feature we have, and nurture it.

Thank you,
Martin Wiggins

Subject: Keep B Street Closed to Cars and Open to People Dear Council,
Please, please, please keep B Street between 1st & 2nd closed AND consider extending the pedestrian mall another block. Welcoming spaces are key to building community.

I have to say how annoyed I am at this whole process, from the last City Council’s decision to make everything in the pedestrian mall temporary and moveable, to the onerous requirements for parklets, to the time it's taking to make this space NOT LOOK LIKE A STREET. Water barriers and an empty street might work in the short term, but it doesn’t work in the long term.

We can’t give this up without actually trying it. We haven’t even made the space nice yet and we’re about to throw our hands up. 2 blocks forward and 1 back.

Also, the staff report should have included at least a reference to the public survey done. I know staff was asked by this council to survey the businesses, but the report is skewed without reminding everyone that an overwhelming majority of residents want the street to remain closed. We’re talking 11 businesses versus 740 respondents! The sad truth is most restaurants fail in the first year; 70% fail within 3-5 years, with or without a closed street. So if we only look at the business survey here, we’re basing long-term city policy on the opinions of a few business owners that may not even be here next year, even if we do open the street to cars.

Let’s not confuse correlation with causation - the businesses on one block of B Street may be doing poorly, but so are business all over. Blaming the closed street is just ridiculous, especially when everyone acknowledges the next block of car-free street is thriving.

Some ideas to consider:
312 of 1058
• Planters. San Carlos came up with an ingenious way of making those water barriers look nice - please talk to them or refer to their latest newsletter (Public Works section - they are custom planters that go over the water barrier and are watered by the barriers themselves). They also repurposed concrete trash cans into planters.
• Tables and chairs. Fill the space with places to sit. We have a ton of tables and chairs we haul out for events - put them there now while we designing everything. Some of the restaurants may want their own areas - that’s great, have them build them. For all the others use public dinning tables. • Turn this over to Parks & Rec. We have a whole department in our city that manages and designs public spaces people actually want to hang out in. Let's call this a park space instead of a street and turn it over to them.

Lastly, we’re heading into summer - now is NOT the time to reopen the block to cars when outdoor dining demand will be at its highest. Let’s make this space look nice for the summer months and give it a chance. Let’s also expand to the block between 1st and Baldwin - we can test it this summer and really give it a chance.

Thank you for your consideration,
Heather Wolnick

To: City Council (San Mateo) <[email protected]> Subject: Keep our Pedestrian Mall and upgrade it to a Town Square I would like to convey my strong support for maintaining and then upgrading the Pedestrian Mall on the entirety of B Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues. An upgrade that should eventually convert a rather pedestrian Pedestrian Mall to a destination Town Square on the Peninsula.

Some of my thoughts are as follows ..
1) The only valid reasons to reopen B Street are to reclaim on street parking on these blocks, particularly for handicapped parking, and to provide direct access to storefronts by emergency and service vehicles. Reopening the thoroughfare to simply provide additional or convenient passage for vehicles through Downtown would be highly counterproductive and a degrade of the quality of the Downtown environment.
1a) The argument for on street parking on these blocks is spurious as the Main Street parking garage is located within just dozens of feet of these streets. In fact, the garage sits right behind the B Street block between 1st and 2nd Avenues, and it would be just as convenient, if not more so, to park in the garage than on the street.
1b) Configuring additional ground level parking stalls along Main Street in the parking garage for handicapped parking may help with the provision of adequate such parking in the area. 1c) The City has already begun investigating retractable bollards for simpler service vehicle access to the B Street mall area.
2) The setback for sidewalks along B Street is very small and growing ever overburdened as the City grows its Downtown Core. The pedestrian mall alleviates this issue. It can also provide for dedicated bike lanes for wheeled traffic, which would otherwise compete with pedestrians for limited sidewalk space, as it did before the mall was established. 3) The previously overburdened sidewalk space was a safety issue. The pedestrian mall provides for a much, much safer mobility environment for visitors in this area. 4) The pedestrian mall, even before it eventually transforms into a robust Town Square, already provides an improved environment for diners, shoppers, families, bicyclists and other visitors to this area.
5) There was discussion at the City Council when the Pedestrian Mall was being established in anticipation of growing pains and dislocation as the mall transitioned to its final form over an extended period of many years. There was an understanding that there would be winners and losers during this transition period, but over the long term, there would be many more winners, 315 of 1058
including the City itself, with the addition of a robust traffic-free central open/green/recreation/entertainment space.
6) Some of the losers in the short-term that were anticipated would be businesses that in some way rely on street parking in front of their establishments. This seems like a very small number, but may be exaggerated by businesses seeking to blame failing business models on obvious, but dubious, given the extreme proximity of the Main Street parking garage, circumstances. 6a) We should anticipate a turnover of businesses as those best fitted to a pedestrian space move in to replace those that do not receive a boost from the pedestrian mall. Business turnover on B Street is a current reality and will probably accelerate until the right mix is found. 7) We are not the first. Pedestrian malls and town squares have revitalized city centers around the country and around the globe. This is not new. Town squares are successful developments dating back to antiquity. We also don't stand alone in that we compete to be attractive to visitors and potential residents with neighboring cities on the Peninsula. The pedestrian mall is not an improvement that leapfrogs us ahead of the competition. It simply allows us to keep up.

In summary, please maintain the entirety of the current Pedestrian Mall on B Street and work to expand it into the robust lively Town Square that this City deserves. __________________________

Subject: Pedestrian Mall- Reopen S. B- ST 1St-2ND, meeting agenda 5/15 Dear City Council Members,
I am writing to express my deep concern as a property owner in the 1st-2nd block of B Street in San Mateo. I would like to extend my appreciation for including the discussion of the B-ST, 1st-3rd Street Closure on this evening's meeting agenda. The closure of S. B Street between 1st Avenue and 3rd Avenue for nearly two years has had a severe impact on local businesses and property owners.

The closure has caused significant financial hardship for both business and property owners, leading to substantial revenue losses. In addition to the financial challenges posed by the pandemic, property owners have been forced to reduce monthly rents, while building maintenance expenses continue to rise.

Vacancies have become increasingly prevalent, and securing new tenants has become an arduous task due to the street closure also, causing a loss of revenue to eh property owner.

It is imperative that the City Council takes immediate action to reopen B Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue. Currently, there are no sit-down restaurants in the area, and the outdoor seating arrangements provide no discernible benefit to anyone. The presentation and placement of street closure barricades and traffic direction signs are inadequate the block, 1st-2nd looks like a construction zone, making it uninviting to the public and the community, and must be addressed promptly.

While I understand the significance of the September festival and entertainment, it is crucial to consider the remaining eleven months of the year. I strongly believe that the business owners and property owners should be duly compensated by the City of San Mateo for the revenue loss resulting from the prolonged delay caused by the closure. Furthermore, it is essential to prioritize the functionality of the street for businesses throughout the entire year, rather than exclusively during the summer month. I strongly recommend the implementation of a rain closure pathway, rest areas, and additional parking options as part of the street closure project.

Further delays in reopening B Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue will only exacerbate the negative effects on small business owners and their families, as this closure directly impacts their primary source of income. The early stages of the street closure process have been excessively protracted, leading to the impression that the best interests of businesses and property owners have been disregarded and overlooked.

As an alternative solution, I propose that the street closure be considered between 2nd and 3rd Avenue, where the majority of businesses, including sit-down restaurants and movie theaters, are located, along with ample open spaces that lend themselves well to such closures.

I implore the City Council to prioritize this matter and take immediate action to cease the financial burden and reopen B-ST, 1st-2nd Street. I sincerely appreciate your consideration and prompt attention to this urgent issue. Please feel free to contact me by email or at 650-218-9979 if you require any additional information or would like to discuss this matter further.

Thank you for your dedication and service to our community. 317 of 1058

Subject: Iterate on B St Pedestrian Mall for the benefit of Residents and Businesses Hello City Council, attached are my comments on Agenda item #14 for this evenings meeting. Thank you for taking them into consideration.

Parking Supply/Management
One of the issues brought up during discussion of this topic has been parking. I wanted to highlight some points on parking supply and management downtown as it relates to the B St Pedestrian Mall and then expand on some further related points.

With Kiku Crossing coming online soon the public parking supply in the wider downtown area from my understanding is ~1900 spaces including Main St, Caltrain, Central, 2nd & El Camino, Kiku Crossing, and Tennis Court Garages. The previous supply of parking provided on B St between 1st St and 2nd St was 29 spaces. If you filter that ~1900 space supply by what is adjacent (<2 blocks) from B St/1st/2nd the capacity drops to ~1000 spaces (Main St, Caltrain, Central). The biggest impact the parking supply on B St could have for the immediate area is a 3% change and in the wider downtown the impact would be even smaller at 1.6%. I encourage you to check these figures with staff as I’m pulling them together to the best of my knowledge and staff definitely would have the latest and most accurate figures. I’ve included a summary of my understanding below.

Downtown Public Parking Garages
319 of 1058

Downtown does not have a parking supply problem but we do have a parking management problem. I won’t go into further thoughts on this as there is a March 2014 Downtown San Mateo Parking Management Plan that covers it better than I could hope to. I encourage you to take time to understand it and engage with city staff regarding the recommendations. If you are short on time I recommend page seven, "E.6 Executive Summary Recommendations" as a starting point. I will add that handicap access and loading zone access are important topics to engage on for this to be successful and I think they are well considered in the current plan. It doesn’t hurt to revisit and confirm though.

Activating B St
We made mistakes in changing requirements on businesses and forcing them to abandon the great parklets and outdoor spaces they had invested in. I specifically remember the Wursthall, Blue Bottle, and Pacific Catch spaces being amazing and our new regulations and approaches have removed these spaces from our downtown in the interest of using that space for as far as I can tell one or two planned B St events in the coming year. This is a short-sighted approach but we can fix it by taking a step back and learning from these mistakes. We were successful and other cities are showing continuing success. We should engage with what worked before and what San Carlos, Redwood City, Mountain View, and countless other cities are doing to be successful and come up with a proposal to activate B St for the enjoyment of residents and the success of businesses. Additionally there was a public survey done of residents with 320 of 1058
overwhelming support for the current plan. That should be taken into account in this discussion.

We are entering summer and have an opportunity to iterate on this experiment and make B St better. I love visiting the Burlingame and San Carlos spaces for farmers markets, maybe we could consider that. At the very least we should have further seating and space for people to enjoy these places. Maybe engage other departments in the city that create inviting spaces to provide recommendations. Parks and Rec does a great job with Central Park.

Re-paving the street and then banning parklets that businesses invested in was a tough start. Let’s iterate and do better rather than abandoning this great resource we’ve made space for. This is a great opportunity to set the tone for the future of a vibrant peoplefocused downtown that caters to residents and successful businesses! Thanks for taking my comments into consideration.

Dear Mayor Lee, Deputy Mayor Diaz Nash, Councilmembers Hedges, Newsom, and Loraine -
I am a long time San Mateo resident and happy user of the San Mateo Pedestrian Mall between 1st and 3rd streets. I visit that area at least once per week and enjoy the option to set outside without the sound of cars roaring by.

I am writing today to urge you to keep that entire stretch of B Street closed to motor vehicle traffic. I understand that the majority of businesses along B Street between 1st and 2nd want it opened, but have you asked residents and visitors to San Mateo what they want?
We shouldn't make long-term policy based on the desires of less than 20 businesses with a high turnover rate. We should base long-term policy on the people who live, work, and recreate in San Mateo.

Having two blocks closed to traffic is not too much to ask. we need to create peopleoriented spaces within the City.

Please continue to allow the planning and construction of a two block pedestrian mall. In addition, make it easier for the businesses to add outdoor dining areas and parklets (including platforms) and build an inviting space with decorations, adequate lighting, native plants, and amble seating.

Thank you for your consideration.

Update and Direction - Flood Relief Fund
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive an update on the Winter Storm Damage Relief Fund and provide direction to staff on how to disposition limited remaining funds.

BACKGROUND:

In response to the severe New Year’s Eve storms that impacted the entire region, the City Council allocated $150,000 in General Fund expenditures toward a new Winter Storm Damage Relief Fund. Grants of up to $5,000 were made available to residents and businesses that incurred damages between Dec. 31, 2022 through Jan. 12, 2023.

Nonprofit Samaritan House was selected to administer the fund and a 30-day application period was open from March 22- April 21, 2023. The fund was advertised through multiple channels and applications were made available in English, Spanish and Chinese. Samaritan House received 58 applications and determined 47 were eligible for funding. Those that were not eligible included five that were outside of the approved time period, and six due to incomplete applications.

Many of the applicants who were ineligible for the City’s fund were provided alternate financial assistance through Samaritan House’s other funding sources.

The total amount of relief funding distributed to the 47 eligible applicants was $178,395. In addition to the City’s $150,000 contribution, $56,156 was contributed by donations from the Mayor’s fundraiser. After Samaritan House’s 12% administrative fees, there is approximately $9,761 remaining.

As the fund was never advertised to a broader audience outside of those who incurred damages during the peak New Year’s Eve storm series and there is very limited funding remaining, staff recommends Council close the fund and return the remaining amount to the City’s General Fund.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no direct fiscal impact for Council receiving this report and providing direction.

SUBJECT:

Climate Action Plan – Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive a progress report on the implementation of the Climate Action Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The 2020 Climate Action Plan (CAP) was adopted in April 2020 and includes strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The 2020 CAP contains implementation measures in the following categories: building electrification, renewable energy, energy efficiency, municipal energy efficiency, clean transportation fuels, sustainable transportation, solid waste, water and wastewater, and off-road equipment. This report provides an overview of the CAP Technical Update that is underway and key highlights from CAP implementation over the 2022 calendar year.

CAP Technical Update
In addition to laying out a suite of strategies and measures to reach the City’s climate goals, the CAP was developed to meet a series of criteria to serve as a qualified GHG reduction strategy, which allows new development projects that are consistent with the CAP to streamline their environmental review. Although the CAP was recently updated and adopted, the City’s 2040 General Plan Update and new State laws, including AB 1279, necessitate a partial and focused technical update to the CAP so that the CAP will maintain consistency with the 2040 General Plan when adopted and can continue to serve as a qualified GHG reduction strategy.

The 2020 CAP proposes to reduce emissions based on per-capita targets in the 2017 California Air Resources Board (CARB) Climate Change Scoping Plan for the years 2030 and 2050. The updated 2022 CARB Scoping Plan no longer recommends the use of per-capita targets for local jurisdictions and requires that 2045 be used as a threshold year, as opposed to 2050.

Because the 2040 General Plan Update and EIR will reflect the new State laws and Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) guidance, the 2040 General Plan, once adopted, would no longer align with the CAP. It is important for the CAP to be consistent with the 2040 General Plan and State reduction targets because the CAP serves as a qualified GHG reduction strategy.

On February 21, 2023, City Council approved Agreement Amendment No. 4 to amend the scope of work with PlaceWorks Inc. to perform a partial and focused technical update of the CAP to ensure that it maintains consistency with the 2040 General Plan. PlaceWorks is currently under contract with the City for the General Plan Update and is the same firm that updated the Climate Action Plan in 2020. This six-month project is currently underway.

The CAP technical update will focus on updating quantitative data points, including providing a 2019 GHG inventory and updating GHG reduction targets and forecasts, to align with State laws and regional guidance for the new 2045 horizon year. This scope of work will not provide a comprehensive review and update of the CAP’s GHG reduction measures. Staff 325 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
is actively working on implementation of CAP measures, and modifications to the GHG reduction measures is not necessary to maintain General Plan consistency. A comprehensive update to the CAP will be evaluated as CAP implementation progresses.
2019 GHG Inventory
As part of the CAP technical update, PlaceWorks completed a 2019 GHG inventory. This quantitative analysis is typically done every five years as it is a time-intensive process to gather the data, adjust the data based on current CAP guidance and methodologies, and implement the appropriate data quality assurances. The City opted for a 2019 GHG inventory as opposed to a 2020 or a 2021 GHG inventory so that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and shelter-in-place orders would not skew the data. The 2019 GHG inventory shows that the City reduced emissions 22% below the 2005 baseline, demonstrating that the City continues to exceed the 2020 goal to reduce emissions 15% below the 2005 baseline. Table 1 summarizes the community-wide GHG emissions by sector and highlights the change in emissions from 2005 to 2019.

There were a few adjustments made to the 2005 baseline and annual inventories to reflect updated methodologies and thus, this inventory data is slightly different than what was included in the 2020 CAP. The inventories now include the transmission and distribution losses for electricity and natural gas use in the built environment, resulting to slight changes to the commercial/industrial built environment and residential built environment emissions. PlaceWorks also revised the off-road equipment emissions using the updated model from CARB and updated emission factors to maintain consistency with previous inventory methodologies. Additionally, the City of San Mateo has little or no control over the day-to-day operations of point sources. Point sources are larger institutional facilities like the San Mateo Medical Center, Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, and College of San Mateo that are regulated by BAAQMD. BAAQMD draft guidance on GHG reduction efforts recommends that the CAP should disclose these emissions, but that they can be excluded from the inventory for the purposes of GHG target setting and development of GHG reduction protocols. For these reasons, point sources are no longer included in the inventories and are instead provided as an informational item. Finally, based on new guidance, the PlaceWorks team is working on calculating carbon sequestration data and emissions from greenfield development to include in the inventories. PlaceWorks anticipates this would account for a small number of emissions and not dramatically impact the inventories. These data are not yet available.

CITY OF SAN MATEO
GHG emissions changes from 2005 to 2019 include the following:
• The largest reduction from 2005 to 2019 occurred in the commercial/industrial built environment sector, with emissions decreasing by 50%. There was also a significant reduction of 30% in emissions from the residential built environment sector. Emissions from the built environment have decreased since the baseline year due to a higher proportion of energy coming from renewable sources. Peninsula Clean Energy was introduced in 2017 and now provides a significant portion of San Mateo’s electricity. PG&E has also increased the portion of clean energy sources in its portfolio in recent years.
• Waste emissions have decreased year over year due to the closure of the 3rd Avenue landfill in 2000. • While vehicle miles traveled (VMT) has increased year over year, emissions from on-road transportation have decreased slightly (3%), likely due to a higher proportion of low- and zero-emission vehicles. • Emissions from the water and wastewater sector decreased 34% from 2005 levels, which is likely due to efficiency upgrades at the San Mateo Water Quality Control Plant.
• The rail sector saw a slight increase, with emissions increasing by 2%, which is driven by an increase in Caltrain ridership.
• Emissions from point sources increased 145% from 2005 to 2019, potentially as a result of changes in business operations or how data are tracked. These are emission sources that are often outside the City’s jurisdiction.

PlaceWorks is now working on preparing forecasts of future GHG emissions for the years 2030, 2040, and 2045 and updating the GHG reduction benefits from existing and planned State activities through 2045.

Annual Progress Report Key Highlights
To track CAP implementation, staff provides annual progress reports to the Sustainability and Infrastructure Commission and City Council on the status of each implementation measure. The annual update was presented to the Sustainability and Infrastructure Commission at their April 11, 2023 meeting. Attachment 1 to this report provides both qualitative and quantitative data to show how progress has been made on each of the CAP measures. Some key metrics highlighting implementation of the 2020 CAP are as follows:
• Building permits issued for all-electric residential buildings in 2022: 4 single family homes, 1 duplex, and 25 Accessory Dwelling Units
• Estimated total GHGs avoided by Peninsula Clean Energy electricity in 2022: 54,922 MTCO2e • Total kW of solar permits issued for residential buildings in 2022: 3,383 kW • Individual rebate measures through BayREN Home + program in 2022: 101 individual measure rebates • Electricity and gas savings from PG&E Sustainable Solutions Turnkey energy efficiency upgrades at municipal facilities in 2022: 1,808,919 kWh and 28,624 therms

CITY OF SAN MATEO
new residential and office buildings. In addition, the City Council adopted reach codes impacting residential building upgrades to encourage electric-readiness and require electric equipment. The City of San Mateo is one of a handful of cities with electrification requirements for existing residential buildings. In recent news, on March 15, 2023, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) adopted rules to phase out the sale and installation of gas water heaters by 2027 and gas furnaces by 2029. Electric panel upgrades are often identified as a barrier for replacing gas equipment with electric. The City’s reach code that requires breaker space and panel capacity for future electric equipment will help prepare homeowners for future electric equipment requirements. • Induction Cooktop Loaner Program: In June 2022, the City launched the Induction Cooktop Loaner Program that offers hands-on experience with a portable induction cooktop. Residents can borrow an induction cooktop and cookware for two weeks. 15 residents borrowed the induction cooktop kit in 2022. • Traffic Signal Optimization: In 2022, the City implemented traffic signal optimizations on the Fashion Island Boulevard corridor from Delaware Street to Norfolk Street, and on a short segment of Humboldt Street from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue. Traffic signal optimizations help reduce vehicle emissions related to vehicle idling. • Complete Streets Plan: The City received $490,882 in grant funding for the development of a citywide Complete Streets Plan. The outcome will be an actionable plan with a list of prioritized multimodal infrastructure projects that strive to provide safe, reliable, and accessible travel options for all modes. The City procured a consultant to assist with developing the plan and anticipates community engagement beginning in spring 2023. • Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance: The City Council adopted the “Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance” modeled after the County of San Mateo’s ordinance. The ordinance requires food facilities distribute disposable items that are fiber-based and compostable. The ordinance went into effect in October 2022. In the months leading up to October 2022, the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability spearheaded outreach and engagement with San Mateo food facilities. On August 16, 2022, the County hosted a workshop for food facilities to showcase compliant food ware and meet food ware vendors. 332 people attended the event. The County’s consultant also contacted 553 businesses in the City through phone calls, emails and in-person visits and made direct contact with decision makers at 62% of those businesses to provide information. This included outreach and education in Spanish and Chinese where appropriate.
• OKAPI Reusables: The City of San Mateo is partnering with OKAPI Reusables, thanks to leadership and funding from the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability. OKAPI is a simple borrow and return cup service featuring trendy insulated stainless-steel cups for hot drinks and glass tumblers for iced drinks. 3 Bees Coffee (224 E. 3rd Avenue), Urban Ritual (140 B Street), Meet Fresh (227 S. B Street) and Heere Tea (253 S. B Street) are the first cafes to join the OKAPI Reusables network. The program launched in December 2022. • Cal Water’s Climate Efforts: Cal Water completed a Climate Change Risk Assessment & Adaptation Framework in December 2021. The report identifies and prioritizes climate-driven risks to Cal Water facilities, operations, and water supply portfolio. It also projects and assesses changes to water supply and demand. This will allow Cal Water to more effectively develop adaptation strategies that reduce the impact of climate change on Cal Water’s operations, prioritize infrastructure investments that increase resiliency, and monitor and address risks to disadvantaged and vulnerable communities.
• Rain barrel rebates: The City had a record number of 82 rain barrel rebates distributed in 2022.

On April 17, 2023, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals invalidated the City of Berkeley’s ordinance to prohibit new natural gas infrastructure. San Mateo and at least 50 other jurisdictions throughout California have required all-electric construction through amendments to the Building Code (reach codes). Staff will continue to monitor developments in the law.

• The City Council adopted the “Disposable Food Service Ware Ordinance” modeled after the County of San Mateo’s ordinance. The ordinance requires food facilities distribute disposable items that are fiber-based and compostable. The ordinance went into effect in October 2022. In the months leading up to October 2022, the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability spearheaded outreach and engagement with San Mateo food facilities. On August 16, 2022 the County hosted a workshop for food facilities to showcase compliant food ware and meet food ware vendors. 332 people attended the event. The County’s consultant also contacted 553 businesses in the city through phone calls, emails and in-person visits and made direct contact with decision makers at 62% of those businesses to provide information. This included outreach and education in Spanish and Chinese where appropriate. • The City of San Mateo is partnering with OKAPI Reusables, thanks to leadership and funding from the County of San Mateo Office of Sustainability. OKAPI is a simple borrow and return cup service featuring trendy insulated stainless steel cups for hot drinks and glass tumblers for iced drinks. 3 Bees Coffee (224 E. 3rd Avenue), Urban Ritual (140 B Street), Meet Fresh (227 S.

• Staff purchased a variety of electric equipment (backpack leaf blowers, handheld leaf blowers, chainsaws, and multi-tools) to use at City parks and during Spare the Air days. Limited battery life and charging infrastructure are still challenges and electric equipment cannot fully replace the use of gas-powered blowers at this time. Staff is in the process of identifying sweeping equipment capable of picking up debris on paths and parking lots to reduce dependency on backpack blowers. The Parks Department is requesting a budget allocation for the new multipurpose sweeper equipment in 2023. • In October 2021, California became the first state with a statewide ban on new gas leaf blowers and lawn mowers when Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1346 prohibiting the sale of new small off-road engines beginning January 1, 2024.

Agenda Number: 17 Section Name: NEW BUSINESS Account Number: 10-1311 File ID: 23-7458 TO: City Council
FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: City Manager's Office
MEETING DATE: May 15, 2023
SUBJECT:

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Framework – Adoption RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Citywide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategic Framework, as developed by staff, to establish a DEI lens for City operations.

BACKGROUND:

The City prides itself on being a vibrant and diverse community, one that is committed to inclusivity and equity. Furthering that commitment, the City Council prioritized the formation of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force as a strategic initiative in their fiscal year 2021-22 Strategic Plan. The DEI Task Force is comprised of representatives from the City’s partner agencies, local non-profits, and neighborhood organizations. During the initial Task Force meeting in January 2022, members of the Task Force expressed concern that the City does not have a strategic vision for guiding DEI-related efforts throughout the City. The Task Force recommended staff develop a framework for how to incorporate DEI into City operations.

After receiving approval from City Council to develop a DEI Strategic Plan in April 2022, staff began researching equity plans adopted by various cities for inspiration and to learn best practices. Staff also reached out to various DEI practitioners and consultants who could assist in developing a Citywide DEI Strategic Plan. After completion of an informal bid process, staff hired CenterFour Consulting to assist in the creation of the DEI Strategic Framework that would articulate the City’s vision, goals, and guiding principles to demonstrate how the City will incorporate DEI into City operations and to evaluate outcomes to ensure that intentions are met.

The Strategic Plan effort was led by a steering committee, which included the Assistant City Manager, Management Analysts from the City Manager’s Office and Community Development Department, the City Librarian, and the strategic planning consultant. In July 2022, the steering committee formed an internal staff working group, made up of 13 staff members from key operational departments including Community Development, Parks and Recreation, Library, Public Works, Human Resources, and Police. The internal working group followed a 3-step module process to create a DEI Strategic Framework that consisted of a vision statement, guiding principles, goals, and criteria for development and evaluation. The internal working group met seven times from July to October 2022 to complete each of the modules. The modules and outcomes are described below:

Module One focused on the creation of the vision statement, guiding principles, and goals for the Strategic Framework.

The vision statement keeps the City’s aspirations front and center. The guiding principles ensure the City’s values are maintained in the long term. The goals give specific direction and targeted aims for City staff to follow. In addition, as part 343 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
of Module One, staff prepared a demographic analysis of the community that demonstrated the diversity within it in terms of age, racial background, languages spoken, income levels, and housing tenure.

Module Two established criteria questions intended to ensure a DEI lens is applied to current and future planning of programs, projects, and policies. This serves as a tool for staff to ensure DEI considerations are in the forefront for the creation of new initiatives.

Module Three established a measurement/evaluation criterion for implementation teams to gauge the impact and relevance of their work. This serves as a tool for implementation teams to ensure initiatives have the intended impact and achieve the goals set forth in Module One.

Once the content for each of the modules was completed, staff presented the draft outcome to the DEI Task Force to review and comment to provide input from the community perspective. The internal working group utilized the feedback and expertise shared by the Task Force to refine the content for each of the modules. The DEI Task Force met to review and comment on the DEI Strategic Framework a total of five times.

From January to March 2023, the consultant worked on creating Strategic Framework report using the content created from the modules and feedback from the internal working group and the DEI Task Force. The final draft report was then reviewed by the internal working group on March 17, 2023, and the external DEI Task Force on April 21, 2023. Both groups recommended that the framework be presented to City Council for adoption.

Following the adoption of the DEI Strategic Framework, staff will work to integrate the framework into our daily operations. In addition to applying the framework to new projects, programs, and policies, it is important to also evaluate the work currently underway. In order to accomplish this, staff plans to retain CenterFour consulting to facilitate discussions with each City department to audit existing programs and policies, using the criteria from Module 3. The outcomes of these departmental audits will create a work plan for actionable refinements to existing programs and policies. These recommended changes will be shared with the DEI Task Force for review and comment.

BUDGET IMPACT:

The City budgeted $50,000 for facilitation services to assist with the development of the DEI Strategic Framework. Staff plans to continue working with a facilitator to assist City departments with the implementation of the framework. This cost is already included in the City Manager’s Office budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The adoption of the DEI Strategic Framework is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government administrative activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)

3 Executive Summary
The City of San Mateo is committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) a top priority in our community. During the midst of the pandemic and economic recession, we were confronted with the legacy of the lack of progress we as a nation have made in addressing discrimination in our society and institutions. San Mateo is choosing not to accept this legacy, and we will work toward becoming better allies and change makers for our colleagues, our communities, and beyond. We know collective action is needed to effect systematic change and create a more just society for all community members.

This Citywide DEI Strategic Plan Framework is our first step in creating meaningful and long-lasting positive change. It is a guidance document that encourages constructive and realistic approaches toward a higher standard of inclusion.

And most impressively, it accounts for the need to work together as both service providers and neighbors.

We put together a team of professionals to address this vitally important undertaking, including City staff and our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force which is comprised of representatives from our partner agencies, local non-profits, and neighborhood organizations. I want to personally thank every one of the participants who contributed to building this framework. They represent the many faces of San Mateo and all aspects of our city and city government. Their unique and informed perspectives helped to set a new standard toward meaningful equity and inclusion in our City.

Introduction to the
DEI Strategic Framework Report
Every member of the City of San Mateo community should feel a sense of belonging.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, (DEI) Strategic Framework shared in this report is twofold: it informs community members of our commitment to building and supporting that sense of belonging; and it provides guidance for those charged with integrating DEI awareness into our programs, projects, and policies. This work is inspired by the vision in our City’s General Plan and refined by our DEI Internal Staff Committee.

As a precursor to the creation of this citywide DEI Strategic Framework our DEI Internal Staff Committee provided the following definitions:

Diversity - All the ways in which people differ.

Equity - Fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people. To create conditions that allow all to reach their full potential.

One’s identity cannot predict the outcome.

Inclusion - A variety of people have power, a voice, and decision-making authority.

San Mateo is a vibrant, livable, diverse, and healthy community that respects the quality of its neighborhoods, fosters a flourishing economy, is committed to equity, and is a leader in environmental sustainability. We embrace diversity and respect the experiences, contributions, and aspirations of people of all ages, abilities, incomes, and backgrounds. We strive to include everyone in community life and decisions for a shared, sustainable future. — Excerpt from the City of San Mateo General Plan Vision Statement 4 348 of 1058
5 Who is San Mateo? We are San Mateo
In San Mateo today, more than one language is spoken in nearly half of all households. And while many residents are highly educated and prosperous, there are many struggling to escape poverty and to provide for their families. The numbers illustrate the need to provide services with a lens for equity versus equality. Equality provides everyone with the same solutions. Equity
creates solutions according to unique needs.

6 Our Approach to Creating
a Strategic Framework
Imagine going on a trip to a new place without a map, flying a plane without a flight plan, or preparing a city for its future without an intentional strategy. Integrating a lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion into our city operations requires strategic thinking and action. And it all begins with the development of a plan. The purpose of this report is to both document our approach to creating a strategic framework, and to provide a road map for the implementation of a DEI lens to all current and future city operations.

The strategic planning team reviewed DEI plans from cities around the country to use as inspiration. The team implemented a three-pronged approach to building a strategic framework, which included:

Setting up the pillars of the DEI Strategic Framework
Creating criteria for a DEI lens to be applied to current and future planning of programs, projects, and policies
Developing measurement/evaluation criteria for implementation teams to gauge the impact and relevance of their work
The City of San Mateo DEI Task Force reviewed each element of the strategic framework and provided input from the community perspective. 350 of 1058
7 Overview of the Strategic Framework
Each aspect of the DEI Strategic Framework provides implementation teams with guidance for operationalizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion using the Strategic Pillars. It is important to note that this is a living document which provides flexibility for implementation teams to tailor the suggested approaches to fit their areas of responsibility.

The Vision Statement keeps the City’s aspirations front and center. The Guiding Principles ensure that City cultural values are maintained in the long term, and the Goals give specific direction or targeted aims.

Critical Questions serve as a tool for teams to make timely and accurate assessments in the creation of initiatives, as well as in the measurement and evaluation of those initiatives to help ensure they have the intended impact.

8 Critical questions are an effective way to
establish criteria for current and future initiatives
and to evaluate their impact. The strategic
planning team created critical questions to
further define the tenets of a DEI lens.

Criteria for
Implementation
and Evaluation
of DEI Initiatives
Criteria for the Development of Programs, Projects,
and Policies
Understanding the Need or Purpose
What is the purpose of what we are making/implementing? • What is the historical context for this purpose?
• What are we trying to accomplish through this project/service/policy? • What issues are we trying to address?
What does success look like for this effort?
• How will success be measured?
• How will we know when success is reached?
Program/Policy Impacts
Who is being served? Is there a target population?
What are the potential impacts of this project/service/policy? • Are there any adverse impacts or unintended consequences that could be an outcome of the project/service/policy?
• Does it benefit one group at the expense of another?
What are the potential barriers to access the benefits of the service/project? Examples include:
• Language?
• Citizenship status?
• Income?
• Complexity of required paperwork? Is access internet-only? • Awareness of the program/policy/or service?
• Disabilities?
• Limited availability/access?
• Technology?
• Transportation limitations?
• Historical distrust from marginalized communities?
352 of 1058
History has taught us that broad brush initiatives, although wellintentioned, can bring disparate outcomes. A city holds its own unique collection of neighborhoods and diverse communities.

And as with the difference between equity and equality, it is crucial that strategic plans acknowledge the unique needs and cultures within a community to achieve desired outcomes.

Are we duplicating efforts of other City Departments, outside agencies, or nonprofits? • What are the opportunities for collaboration?
Is there an opportunity to pilot the program/project before making it permanent? What data/evidence (whether qualitative or quantitative) can we use to make informed decisions?
Was geographic equity considered?
Communication
Did you engage with the target population as part of the development process for the proposed project/service/policy?
Did you engage with adversely impacted communities as part of the development process?
How will the availability of this program/service/policy be communicated to the impacted populations once it is being implemented?
What are the potential barriers to communication (such as language or access to the method of communication) and what is the plan to address them? Have you built enough time and budget into the project to allow for outreach and communication?
9 353 of 1058
After Implementation Evaluation Criteria
Understanding the Need or Purpose
Did the project/program/policy succeed in meeting the anticipated outcome? • Are there any metrics available to support this finding? • What methods other than metrics can illustrate the resulting outcome and what is your baseline for measurement?
Were there any unforeseen outcomes (positive or negative)? • What did you learn from any negative unforeseen outcomes? • Did your process include options to pivot in case unforeseen outcomes arise? Program/Policy/Projects Impacts (for use if applicable) Was the enrollment/uptake what was expected in terms of total quantity? • If not, what were the potential barriers and how can they be addressed? • If oversubscribed, is there capacity to expand or to be more targeted about participation?
• Did people inquire but not follow through? Do we know why? Did we reach the intended population?
• Were any groups under or over-represented? (By age, ethnicity, language, etc.) • Were there any notable differences in which groups inquired but did not follow through?
Has there been consistent participation, or has it dropped since the initial launch? Are there geographic equity indicators?
Communication
How did people learn about the project/program/policy?
• Did the outcome match with the resources expended on the various communication channels?
What feedback did the City receive on the project/program/policy during the rollout? • Was this feedback incorporated already when mitigations were made? • Are there changes that should be made going forward to improve the outcome? • Are you tracking the feedback by population (or by other demographic indicators)? 10 354 of 1058
11 Looking to the Future
The DEI lens created within this strategic framework is designed to be applied to the creation and development of all future programs, policies, and projects in order to anticipate impact and mitigate the potential for furthering inequality.

The value of the framework is its provision of clarification before implementation. It addresses the ultimate questions of; what are we doing, why are we doing it, and will our plans result in the intended outcomes? The City plans to integrate this framework into our daily operations and make it a seamless part of how we serve our community.

In addition, the critical questions in this strategic framework offer structure for the analysis of the impacts of our current programs, projects, and policies. As a second phase of this strategic planning process, the City will perform a comprehensive audit of our current practices using this framework. The City will use the outcome of that audit to make adjustments to our existing approach to ensure that our services reflect our commitment to the DEI principles outlined in this Strategic Plan.

There is no power for change greater
than a community discovering
what it cares about.

SUBJECT:
100 N Humboldt St. – Property Owner Appeal of Permanent Relocation RECOMMENDATION:

Deny the appeal and uphold the notice to reimburse the City of San Mateo for the permanent relocation benefits to the tenants who reside at 100 N. Humboldt St. due to unlawful substandard living conditions pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code Chapter 7.50 “Property Owner Obligations with Respect to Tenants Displaced from Unsafe or Substandard Units.” BACKGROUND:

History
On January 10, 2023 the City received a report from the tenants of 100 N. Humboldt St. (the “Property”) stating that:
• None of the home’s four heaters were in working order • The tenant had informed the landlord the roof was leaking over a year ago and the landlord had put a tarp over it instead of repairing it
• A portion of the ceiling had collapsed in the kitchen the night before, nearly injuring a tenant • A different portion of the ceiling had previously collapsed in hallway • Rats had been entering the home through holes in the roof/ceiling, and the tenant’s husband had patched them since the landlord would not make repairs
• The kitchen sink and shower lacked hot water and though the landlord replaced the water heater, there was still no hot water
The tenants also reported they had been served an eviction notice on November 17, 2022 and had requested an extension since they had not found a new residence, but the request had been denied. On Friday, January 13, 2023 City staff inspected the residence and confirmed the following conditions (see Attachment 1 – January 13, 2023 Inspection Photos):

1. The roof had multiple leaks and was covered with a tarp

2. Visible mold on the walls and ceilings of the bathroom and two bedrooms

3. Lack of hot water reaching 110 degrees

4. Lack of heating

5. Multiple electrical hazards (daisy-chained cords and missing outlet covers, light fixtures, and switches)

6. No smoke detectors

7. Termite damage

8. Improper tiling/waterproofing of shower/bathtub

9. Deteriorated front door framing

10. Missing front door weather stripping

11. Inoperable sliding glass door

12. Deteriorated windows throughout residence

13. Unpermitted wall removal

14. Inadequate water flow in kitchen

15. Improper/leaky plumbing

16. Dilapidated kitchen cabinetry caused by water damage

17. Deteriorated walls with holes throughout residence

18. Missing gas stove exhaust vent

19. Smell of gas and inoperable oven

20. New windows, improperly installed

21. Stair risers not to Code

22. Exterior holes caused by unpermitted electrical work Between January 17 and 26, 2023, City staff met internally to research the violations and confer with the tenant to obtain information about how the violations came to be, when they informed the landlord of Property conditions, and any work they/the landlord performed on the residence. During this time it was concluded, pursuant to San Mateo Municipal Code (“SMMC “) section 7.14, the International Property Maintenance Code (“IPMC”) and California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3, the Property was unsafe to inhabit, the landlord appeared to have had knowledge of the primary Property conditions which made it unsafe to occupy (i.e. the failed roof, extensive mold, and lack of heat and hot water) and had not corrected them. Thus, staff proceeded with issuing a Notice to Vacate at the owner’s expense on January 26, 2023 (Attachment 2—January 26, 2013 Inspection Photos) and requiring vacation to be completed by January 30, 2023. Pursuant to SMMC section 7.50.020(i), the vacation was determined to be permanent since the work needed to restore the Property would likely exceed 90 days. On January 26, 2023 the property owner, Ms. Trina Pierce (“Property Owner”), responded by telephone, requesting the City revise the relocation benefit to reflect the number of bedrooms on record, rather than the number in use, and informed staff she had replaced the water heater. She was informed that there was no permit issued for the water heater, there was still no hot water being delivered, and the City would consider revising the amount of the relocation benefit to reflect the HUD rate for a three-bedroom unit per her request.

On January 27, 2023, Ms. Pierce and her attorney, Ms. Virginia Papan, visited City Hall and informed staff they would be providing documentation by January 30, 2023 disputing the relocation expense alleging the Property conditions were caused by the tenants. Between January 27 and 30, 2023, staff had several communications with Ms. Pierce and Ms. Papan and continued to make adjustments to how the case was being handled to ensure the tenants were safe, the structure was secured, and the landlord was able to weigh in with her version of the situation.

On January 30, 2023, the City conducted another inspection, which included the Building Inspection Supervisor, in addition to Code Enforcement staff (Attachment 3 -January 30, 2023 Inspection Photos). During the inspection, the condition of the roof was deemed to be in such poor condition as to be an immediate threat to life-safety, there was still no hot water, and pursuant to SMMC Chapter 7.14, the IPMC, the California Health and Safety Code (17920.3), and the Dangerous Building Code (SMMC Chapter 23.30), the structure was Red Tagged (Attachment 4 – Red Tag). The Property Owner did not appeal the Red-Tag determination. On January 31, 2023, the property owner submitted several documents (Attachment 5 – Documents from Property Owner) intended to support her position that she unaware of the life-safety violations associated with the residence. Based on the City’s review, on February 1, 2023 an amended vacation notice (Attachment 6 – Amended Notice to Vacate) was sent to the Property Owner. The amendments reduced the relocation payment amount to reflect a 3- bedroom residence, per the legal record, and reduced the number of violations being cited as the responsibility of the Property Owner. On February 3, 2023, pursuant to SMMC section 7.50.070, the City issued the relocation payment of $12,736 to the tenant and the tenants vacated the residence (Attachment 7—Relocation Check to Tenant). The Property Owner then submitted a permit application for a new roof on February 7, 2023 (Attachment 8—Reroof Permit Application), and on February 9, 2023 submitted an appeal of the relocation costs (Attachment 9—Property Owner Appeal).

Appeal
Pursuant to SMMC section 7.50.030(a), a tenant household is eligible for relocation payments from a property owner if the tenant household is displaced from its dwelling due to the City’s code enforcement activities, including when the City has issued a notice to vacate, notice to abate a life-threatening condition, or declaration of substandard condition covering the dwelling. A property owner is not required to make relocation payments if the property owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director that the uninhabitable conditions are caused by the tenant household, 359 of 1058

CITY OF SAN MATEO
the tenant household unreasonably prevented the property owner from maintenance that would have prevented the condition, or the conditions are solely from damage from an earthquake, fire, flood, natural disaster, civil disturbance, or accident outside the control of the property owner and was not caused by or acts or negligence by the Property or due to pre-existing conditions or violations. (SMMC §§ 7.50.030(b)(2), (b3), (b)(7).) Pursuant to the appeal, the Property Owner claims she should not have to pay relocation costs for the identified ten reasons described and analyzed below:

1. Tenants caused mold at the premises by failing to keep it clean and concealed these conditions from the owner—This reason claims the tenants caused mold by not keeping the residence clean, putting up and taking down walls, altering cabinetry, punching holes in walls and doors, eating and making food in bedrooms, keeping windows/doors shut and covered, not notifying her of mold conditions, intimidating her, and limiting her access to certain parts of the residence.

Response: To staff’s knowledge and experience, dirt, eating or making food in bedrooms, and the type of holes that result from punching a wall or door, would not typically be a contributing factor to the formation of excessive mold conditions.

The type of mold under consideration is not food mold. While the alteration of walls or cabinetry that allows water entry into a building and keeping a structure fully enclosed in excessively moist conditions may contribute to mold formation, the Property Owner has not provided supporting documentation to substantiate this assertion. Though the City ordered the Property Owner to provide a mold report in January, which would have provided information about the source and extent of the mold found in the bedrooms and bathroom, as well as methods for its removal, the report (Attachment 10—Mold Report) was not prepared until after the roof was replaced in late February 2023. It was then revised in March 2023 and finally submitted to the City in late April 2023, after several requests from the City. The report does not address the source of the mold; however, it clearly identifies substantial abatement is necessary to correct the condition.

Staff is unaware if the tenants reported mold to the landlord but is aware they reported the defective roof and leaking ceilings in need of repair, allowing moisture into the residence. Specifically, the tenants submitted text messages between themselves and the landlord from October 2022 (Attachment 11—Text Messages) demonstrating they had reported the defective roof and leak in the kitchen in October 2022 and the landlord covered the roof with a tarp instead of making immediate repairs. Furthermore, the Property Owner received at least one written quote for a roof repair, dated October 26, 2022, and chose not to perform the repair (Attachment 12—Roof Estimate). The kitchen ceiling eventually collapsed near one of the tenants’ head on January 9, 2023. The tenants also informed staff verbally on January 18 and 26, 2023 that they had informed the landlord of the roof defects and other interior leaks and plumbing defects as early as 2020, and that Ms. Pierce had also covered the roof with a tarp at that time. The text messages support this and imply the tenants paid for some type of roof/ceiling repairs. Staff also reviewed Google street view images of this corner lot dating back to 2018 (Attachment 13—Google Images) and the roof defects are visible from the Humboldt and Tilton street frontages in multiple images. In addition, the Property Owner’s own photographs, prior to the tenants’ occupation, show a deteriorating roof (Attachment 4, Exhibit D.) The defects/leaks with which staff is most familiar are along the structure perimeter or along roof joints, which seem to be unlikely locations for interior partition walls or cabinet doors. It is noteworthy that the Property Owner lives close by and can, and does, easily view the Property on a regular basis. This is confirmed, as she readily approached staff each time staff visited the Property. Another possible source of moisture entry is the exterior wall openings where repairs were not made following a permitted electrical service upgrade.

As far as the tenants limiting Ms. Pierce’s access, that is matter between her and her tenants. In item 7 of this appeal, the Property Owner acknowledges she accessed the bedrooms, in which a large amount of the mold was located. If this is true, she would have had visual access to mold on the walls and ceiling of the bedrooms, as it was extensive and easily visible. If she felt intimidated or unsafe, as stated in the appeal, and that is why her access was limited, she had the option of enlisting police or legal assistance at any time. Again, that is a matter between the Property Owner and tenants, to which the City is not a party.

2. There were no hot water issues, nor did the Tenants ever inform the Owner of such an issue—This reason states that in May 2022 the tenants reported the water heater needed repair and the landlord replaced it and the tenants did not report any need for further repairs. It also refers to the lease, to which the City is not a party.

CITY OF SAN MATEO
Response: In May 2022, the Property Owner replaced the water heater without the required permit, so it cannot be verified whether it was done correctly. The tenants reported to City staff that the new water heater never worked correctly. During its inspection on January 13, 2023, the City confirmed a lack of hot water reaching bathroom and kitchen fixtures. When the Property Owner received the City’s notice on January 26, 2023, she replaced the water heater without a permit and the new water heater failed to deliver hot water to the residence. The permit was finally obtained, and the work corrected on March 16, 2023 (Attachment 14—Water Heater Permit). It is unclear whether the tenants notified the landlord of the continued lack of hot water after the May 2022 replacement. However, obtaining the required permit to ensure the work was performed correctly would have provided some assurance the repair would be both legal and successful.

3. Tenants never notified the owner about lack of heat—This reason states the tenants had full possession of the residence and never notified the owner about the lack of heat.

Response: The tenants informed staff on multiple occasions that none of the four heaters within residence were functional when they leased the house, and that the landlord was aware of this condition from the onset. Rather, the tenants stated they were required to rely on space heaters throughout the residence. During its inspections, staff verified the heaters did not function and space heaters are depicted in staff’s inspection photographs.

4. Tenants created and maintained electrical hazards—This reason claims the tenants installed new plugs and outlets and made other changes inside the residence, which they then concealed from her, after she upgraded the electrical service.

Response: These conditions were inside the residence, were generalized, but in small spaces. Staff believes it is reasonable to believe the landlord may not have been aware of the extent of these conditions.

5. The landlord is not liable for water leaking in—This reason is reference to roof leaks and cites extreme weather events of December 2022 and January 2023, and walls erected by the tenants the causes of the roof defects and leaks. It also states the tenant failed to notify the landlord of these conditions until January 2023.

Response: See response to item 1 above, which explains that the Property Owner was notified well before December 2022 of the roof and ceiling defects, that the defects were visible from two street frontages, and that it is not substantiated that the several locations of the defects correlate with any alterations made by the tenants.

6. The tenants removed the workings smoke detectors.

Response: The text message correspondence implies this may be the case.

7. The tenant’s failure to clean and maintain the premises caused the infestation of rodents and pests—This reason claims the tenants took occupancy of the house without rodents/pests and therefore caused the infestation by living in squalor, eating in bedrooms and leaving half eaten food in them.

Response: First, it is of note that this assertion admits the landlord had knowledge of the conditions of the bedrooms, but denies having had knowledge of the extensive mold that was within them and claims the tenants blocked her from accessing many parts of the residence. Nonetheless, while eating and having food in the bedrooms may have exacerbated rodent/pest conditions, holes in roofs and exterior walls are known entry points for rats and insects. This house had several entry points which provided easy and continued access to infestations. The record shows the Property Owner was aware of the roof conditions and did not make repairs. The record concerning the electrical service upgrade shows the project took an excessive duration and was overly complicated. The finished product shows that subsequent exterior wall repairs were not completed. The window replacements, some done with permits, left behind unrepaired termite damage. The implication is that there is a history of the Property Owner contracting for subpar work that does not get completed properly or completely, if at all, and that has left the structure vulnerable to a variety of problems, such as rodent/pest infestations, in addition to the mold described in item 1.

8. Owner had no knowledge the home had termite damage
Response: Termite damage should have been observed and reported on by the professionals Ms. Pierce hired for window installations, as this would be known to them and not be something easily identifiable by the tenants. The tenants did report to Ms. Pierce via text and a photograph of the damaged area that there were problems with the window installations and asked her to look them.

9. The tenants restricted lighting and ventilation
Response: It is unclear to staff whether the tenants altered/relocated light fixtures. The provided correspondence does support that the tenants erected and dismantled partition walls in the living and dining rooms.

10. The tenants never notified the owner about any possible gas leak Response: Though staff readily smelled gas when the residence was inspected, it is unknown when this condition began or whether the tenant reported it to the landlord.

Public Comment
The City received one public comment in support of Ms. Pierce (Attachment 15—Public Comment). The comment appears to be from a previous tenant of the subject property, who reports that Ms. Pierce was responsive to repair issues and also that she provided/allowed food facilities in the bedrooms and that the pilot light upstairs was turned off for the heating.

Conclusion
Following the tenants’ vacation, the landlord procured a permit to begin work on the new roof, and eventually pulled a permit to legalize and modify the unpermitted water heater. After several requests from staff, the landlord also eventually provided the mold report on April 21, 2023 and submitted to an inspection of the residence interior by City staff on May 5, 2023 after a Final Notice form the City (Attachments 16 and 17). The inspection revealed extensive demolition work had been completed without the necessary permits, despite the fact the landlord had been advised several times of the need to obtain permits for demolition/mold remediation work. This includes City permits and permits from the Bay Area Air Quality Control District. The permits are needed to ensure not only the safety of the workers on-site, but also to protect those in the project vicinity from hazardous materials such as lead, asbestos, and the mold itself. This is especially true of older structures such as this one, which was built in 1940. Staff believes this provides further evidence of the landlord’s disregard for public safety and her pattern of misconduct. It also further demonstrates her disregard for the safety codes that govern her property. Accordingly, and as demonstrated above, Ms. Pierce was knowledgeable of and is responsible for the most egregious property conditions that rendered the property uninhabitable. Specifically, the mold, roof and ceiling defects, and rodent and pest infestations. Of note, the roof and ceiling defects may be considered the most critical of the uninhabitable conditions as it may be a cause for other uninhabitable conditions such as water damage and mold issues. Staff also believes the Property Owner is responsible for and had, or should have had, knowledge of the termite damage, leaks, and defective water heater and heaters based on a review of communications between her and the tenant household. Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal and order the landlord to reimburse the City for the tenant relocation payment of $12,736.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact related to this report. If Council finds that City funds should be used to provide relocation benefits to the tenant, the money would be allocated from the Emergency Relocation Assistance Fund that was established to advance tenant assistance in urgent situations and then billed to the property owner.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This appeal is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).) 362 of 1058

Property Owner Appeal
703 of 1058

PROPERTY OWNER APPEAL
TO: Chistina Horrisberger, Director of Community Development Department OWNER: Trina Pierce
TENANTS: Herminia Panameno, Josue N. Panameno, Patricia Panameno, and Marta Zavala SUBJECT PREMISES: 100 N. Humboldt, San Mateo
__________________________________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION
The OWNER hereby appeals the City of San Mateo Code Enforcement’s (CE) assessment of relocation costs – as amended (the “Assessment”).

The Assessment is the result of a “shoot first and ask questions later” process. CE committed a major error by completely ignoring one of the two requirements for assessing relocation costs.

Per San Mateo Municipal Code section 7.50.030, CE must establish:
(1) The existence of conditions rendering a premises uninhabitable, and (2) Liability for the substandard conditions.

CE failed to undertake any determination of liability prior to issuing the Assessment. In fact, 13 days elapsed between the date of CE’s inspection and its issuance of the Assessment and during those 13 days, it never once reached out to the OWNER to get her position. Incredulously, even after the OWNER submitted voluminous documentation to CE clearly establishing the TENANTS’ liability for the substandard conditions at the Premises, CE refused to withdraw the Assessment. CE failed to consider any of the OWNER’s overwhelming evidence of the TENANTS’ liability. Its unfounded Assessment has now forced the OWNER to file this Appeal and pay $519 to do so. As the TENANTS are liable for the uninhabitable conditions at the Premises and kept these conditions from the OWNER, per San Mateo Municipal Code sections

7.50.030(b)(2) and (3), they are ineligible to receive relocation costs from the OWNER.

There should have never been an assessment from which to appeal, but the OWNER has now had to file this Appeal in order to preserve her rights. The City should summarily grant this Appeal, immediately withdraw the Assessment and refund the appeal fee.

The reality is that the Premises are the cherished home of the OWNER’s mother. She leased it in a good and habitable condition to the TENANTS. The TENANTS had sole possession and control of the Premises, during which time they repeatedly breached the Lease causing extensive damages. As a result of the TENANTS’ misconduct, in November, 2022, the OWNER exercised her lawful right to evict TENANTS with a 60-Day Notice. As the 60-Day deadline approached, TENANTS requested to stay in the Premises. When the OWNER refused, TENANTS turned to CE to exploit the process and the OWNER and to retaliate against her. They went into overdrive in their destruction of the Premises, rendered it uninhabitable, then blamed the OWNER and 1 704 of 1058
used the City to seek relocation costs. This is a case of tenants gaming the system to extract relocation costs and exploit a senior in the process. Tenants are ineligible for relocation costs because they are liable for rendering the Premises uninhabitable. They must not benefit from their malicious deeds.

TENANTS ARE INELIGIBLE FOR RELOCATION COSTS UNDER THE LAW The TENANTS are ineligible for relocation costs from the OWNER because of three exceptions to relocation costs that apply to this matter:
(1) The TENANTS caused the damages that rendered the Premises inhabitable; (2) The TENANTS prevented the OWNER from undertaking maintenance of the Premises and as will be proven here they not only failed to notify the OWNER of any such conditions and provide her the opportunity to cure them, they concealed conditions from the OWNER; and (3) There were natural disaster events that contributed to some of the conditions.

For reference, the relevant parts of San Mateo Municipal Code (the “Code”) section 7.50.030 are provided below:
(a) A tenant household shall be eligible for relocation payments from a property owner under this chapter if the tenant household is displaced from its dwelling or room due to the City's code enforcement activities.
…
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, a tenant household shall not be deemed displaced due to code enforcement activities in any of the following cases:
…

2. The property owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the noncomplying condition was created by the tenant household or the tenant household's guests or invitees, and was not created by the property owner or the property owner's agent, or that the condition giving rise to the code enforcement activities existed at the time that the tenant household occupied the dwelling or room and that the tenant household occupied the dwelling or room for the purpose of receiving relocation benefits;

3. The property owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the tenant household unreasonably prevented the property owner or the property owner's agent from undertaking maintenance or repairs that would have prevented or rectified the noncomplying condition;
…
2 705 of 1058

7. The tenant household is required to vacate the dwelling or room due solely to damage resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, natural disaster, civil disturbance, or accident outside the control of the property owner, if (a) the vacation is required within six months of such event, and (b) the property owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that such damage was not caused by the acts or the negligence of the property owner or by a preexisting condition in the building in violation of applicable building, housing, fire, or other health and safety codes.
(Emphasis Added).

As set forth below, the OWNER will discuss these code sections in the context of the alleged conditions on the Premises.

BACKGROUND FACTS
THE HOME & THE LEASE: 100 N. Humboldt was built in 1940, in the redline district of San Mateo. The OWNER’s family bought the home in the 1950’s because it was the only area of San Mateo in which her family could buy a home. The OWNER and her siblings grew up in this home. It is a cherished home and is the bedrock of their generational wealth.

The OWNER leased (the “Lease”) and turned over possession of her family’s home to TENANTS, in a condition that was clean, sanitary, in good repair, and completely free of any infestations. (See Exhibits A-C and D.) In fact at that time of the Lease, the Premises passed inspection to qualify as Section 8 housing. In short, there was no question that the Premises were habitable. (See Exhibit D.)
Upon Lease execution through to January 31, 2023, TENANTS had the exclusive possession and control of the Premises. Landlord believed that when the tenancy ended the TENANTS would return the Premises in the same condition as existed upon their move-in, except for normal wear and tear.

Under the terms of the Lease and California Law TENANTS were obligated to:
● Keep the unit in a clean and habitable condition.
● Keep fixtures clean and sanitary.
● Use the rental unit for living, sleeping, cooking, or dining purposes only. 60-DAY NOTICE TO VACATE: During the tenancy, TENANTS failed on multiple levels to maintain the Premises. As a result, on November 17, 2022, the OWNER served TENANTS with a 60-Day Notice to Vacate for the following breaches of the Lease:
3 706 of 1058

1. No Pets – TENANTS kept 4 dogs and chickens on the Premises. No permission was ever asked for or given.

2. Damages caused by occupants entering the Premises through a window which Landlord told TENANTS multiple times not to do, and caused the Landlord to replace the window three times.

3. TENANTS secretly operating a business at the Premises, advertised by someone the Landlord does not know.

4. TENANTS altering the Premises - More and more walls going up, without permits or permission from the Landlord.

5. Continuing to have people moving in and out of the premises without Landlord’s knowledge or permission.

6. Fire risks, continually placing things in front of a heater, which the OWNER told TENANTS not to do.

7. Overflowing garbage and trash bins, uncovered, and bags of trash by the bins – a health issue which can cause rodent problems. Trash and beer cans visible from the front yard also needed to be moved out of sight to the backyard. (See Ex. E.) As the 60-Day deadline approached, the TENANTS tried to pay the OWNER rent to continue to live at the Premises and requested that they be allowed to stay another two months. The OWNER refused to accept the rent or allow the TENANTS to stay longer. She wanted them to vacate because of their repeated breaches of the Lease causing extensive damage. She advised the TENANTS that she was upset that they continued to not care or even try to address the issues of people climbing out windows requiring her to replace the window three times, their possession of 4 dogs when they weren’t supposed to have any, and the need to do a lot of work. (See Owner’s Notice to Vacate, Ex. E.)
TENANTS’TEXTS ADMITTING LIABILITY : On December 31, 2202, and January 1, 2023, TENANTS texted the following to the OWNER stating TENANTS’ intent to move and admitting to their conduct:
“We have decided to move to another city…”
“Some people have already moved out.”
4 707 of 1058
“I know we have broken some of your rules…”
“We have told everybody to move out.”
“Listen we’ll do our best to clean up and fix what is fear (sic). The reason it doesn’t stay clean is because other people start piling up again. We tell them all the time to avoid doing it but they just won’t listen.” (See Exhibit F.)
CE’s FIRST INSPECTION: On January 13, 2023, based upon information provided to CE from an unknown source, and unbeknownst to the OWNER, CE inspected the Premises. It was obvious that TENANTS were failing to maintain the Premises in a habitable condition with food and trash strewn about, holes in the walls and doors, graffiti on the walls, etc.

CE’s FIRST ASSESSMENT: On January 26, 2023, CE issued a notice assessing close to $14,000 in relocation costs against the OWNER, without ever so much as speaking to the OWNER. CE had 13 days to speak to the OWNER prior to the Assessment yet CE never contacted or made any attempt to contact the OWNER. The OWNER was absolutely shocked to receive CE’s notice.

OWNER’s INSPECTION
On January 27, 2023, the OWNER, her counsel, and two plumbers entered the Premises to assess the plumbing and evaluate the conditions of the property. The TENANTS had all the doors closed to the rooms. As the OWNER and her reps began to inspect the Premises, a TENANT tried to intimidate them by following them, videotaping the inspection, and advising them he was calling his lawyer. The inspection revealed that the TENANTS were living in squalor of their own making. They ripped down their makeshift walls, there was food everywhere, rat feces, dirty floors, cabinets ripped apart, walls and doors with holes punched in them, bags of clothing, mattresses, appliances in every room, graffiti on the walls.

OWNER’s MEETING WITH CE
On January 27, 2023, immediately after receiving CE’s first assessment notice, the OWNER and her counsel went to the City’s offices. The OWNER advised that she had already served a 60-Day Notice to Vacate on the TENANTS and that the conditions at the Premises were the result of the TENANTS’ actions and that she had no idea of such conditions because the TENANTS never told her and they always kept the doors closed when she was at the Premises.

CE did absolutely nothing with the information provided by the OWNER.

CE’s HOLD: On January 28, 2023, CE left the OWNER a voicemail message advising that the City of San Mateo was putting a hold on the Notice and Timeline set forth in the January 26, 2023, Assessment.
5 708 of 1058
CE’s SECOND INSPECTION: On January 30, 2023, CE conducted a second inspection of the Premises, again without any notice to the OWNER or input from her.

OWNER’S EVIDENCE PROVIDED to CE: On January 30, 2023, after working night and day, the OWNER provided to CE extensive evidence of the TENANTS’ liability for the conditions of the PREMISES. (See attached Letter and 120 pages of documents/photos). The OWNER also provided information about how the TENANTS did not notify her of the conditions at the Premises or provide her an opportunity to cure any of them as was the common practice during their tenancy. The OWNER further advised CE that the TENANTS closed the doors to keep her from viewing all of the Premises whenever she was there to arrange for repairs and they frequently made her feel uncomfortable and intimidated. (See Exhibit G: Landlord’s Repairs)
CE’s AMENDED ASSESSMENT: CE left a voicemail and email notifying the OWNER of an Amended Assessment, reducing relocation costs to those for a three bedroom home instead of four bedrooms. The Assessment is now $12,736 instead of $13,849. CE issued its Amended Notice on February 1, 2023. CE made ZERO reference or acknowledgement of any of the information the OWNER submitted.

Police Reports About the TENANTS/Evidence of TENANTS Storing Ammunition On February 6, 2023, the OWNER notified the City’s Assistant Attorney for CE, Linh Nguyen, of the following nine police reports issued during the TENANTS’ tenancy:
○ 5/18/2017 - DISTURBANCE - RP [Reporting Person] SAYS HER SONS MOTHER IN LAW IS CAUSING A SCENE AND YELLING AT EVERYONE.

CE’s Refusal to Withdraw the Assessment, Forcing an Appeal: Notwithstanding, the evidence OWNER provided to CE clearly demonstrating these non-complying conditions were created by the TENANTS, CE continued with its Assessment as though it had no evidence and continues to completely disregard the City of San Mateo’s Municipal Code sections for the OWNER. The OWNER now has to incur the expense of submitting her Appeal of the Assessment.

THE TENANTS ARE LIABLE FOR THE SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS

1. TENANTS Caused Mold at the Premises by Failing to Keep it Clean and Concealed these Conditions from the OWNER
Mold was caused by the TENANTS failing to clean, excessive dirt, putting up and taking down walls, ripping off cabinet doors, and punching holes in walls and doors. (See Exhibits A-C and I, before and after photos.) The bedrooms contained half eaten food, suggesting TENANTS prepared food there. As set forth above, the TENANTS admitted via text that they failed to maintain the Premises. Moreover, the OWNER had no notice of mold from the TENANTS and 7 710 of 1058
no opportunity to cure as mandated by the Lease. In fact, the TENANTS actually kept windows covered and all doors closed off from the OWNER when she was on site and intimidated her into staying in the specific area she was there to address. Tenant, Josue N. Panameno, frequently intimidated the OWNER. (Given the multiple police reports referenced above, the OWNER was justified in her fear of the TENANTS). (Ex. J.) The TENANTS made it impossible for the OWNER to know this condition or to be able to abate it. It is also noted that the OWNER did not list any mold in her November 2022, Notice to Vacate because it was concealed from her so she was unaware of it. (See Ex. E.)
The OWNER has clearly demonstrated the TENANTS not only caused the mold at the Premises, they prevented the OWNER from repairing the condition by failing to give her notice and that they actually concealed the condition. As such, per Code sections 7.50.030 (b)(2) and (3), TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this condition.

2. There Was No Hot Water Issue, Nor did the TENANTS ever inform the OWNER of Such an Issue
In May, 2022, per the Lease and an established course of conduct, the TENANTS notified the OWNER that the water heater needed repair. The OWNER installed one promptly (Exhibit G reflects Landlord’s Repairs during the tenancy.) At no time thereafter did the TENANTS notify the OWNER that water temperature was an issue. This purported issue was raised only after the OWNER asked the TENANTS to vacate. “If” this new water heater had any issue, the OWNER should have received notice and an opportunity to cure. The OWNER is not liable for conditions about which she had no notice, nor has she been able to confirm any such issue. The OWNER’s plumber actually confirmed the hot water heater was appropriately set for between 110 and 120 degrees.

Per the Lease and California law, without prior notice of this alleged condition, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for it. The TENANTS prevented the OWNER from repairing any such condition by failing to give her notice and opportunity to cure. As such, per Code section

7.50.030(b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this alleged condition.

3. TENANTS Never Notified the OWNER about a Lack of Heat TENANTS failed to notify the OWNER of any heating issues during their tenancy and have provided no evidence that they notified the OWNER of such a condition during their tenancy.

They raised this apparent issue after the OWNER served them with a 60-Day Notice to Vacate.

The OWNER had no way of knowing about any supposed heat issue, should one exist.

TENANTS had full possession and control of the Premises. TENANTS were responsible for the heat and the PG&E bill was in their name.
8 711 of 1058
Per the Lease and California law, without prior notice of this alleged condition, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for it. The TENANTS prevented the OWNER from repairing any such condition by failing to give her notice and opportunity to cure. As such, per Code section

7.50.030(b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this alleged condition.

4. TENANTS Created and Maintained the Electrical Hazards TENANTS created and maintained electrical hazards. They did so even after the OWNER spent $3000 upgrading and relocating the electrical panel and installing new plugs in each of the rooms. (See Ex. G) Whenever the OWNER saw these conditions, she asked the TENANTS to remove them. (See Exs. I & E.) Despite the OWNER’s requests, the TENANTS continued to maintain these hazardous electrical conditions. Moreover, the TENANTS purposefully concealed other locations of these conditions and their damages to electrical outlets by closing doors and intimidating her to stay in a confined space when on the Premises. As such, the TENANTS failed to notify the OWNER of the alleged conditions or provide her an opportunity to cure them.

Per the Lease and California law, without prior notice of these alleged conditions, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for them, which conditions the TENANTS caused. As such, per Code sections 7.50.030(b)(2) and (b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this alleged condition.

5. The OWNER is Not Liable For Water Leaking In
Roof: Upon notice from the TENANTS, the OWNER addressed roof issues to prevent leaking.

Following the recent multiple atmospheric rivers that hit San Mateo, the roof leaked again. On January 9, 2023, days before they were to vacate the Premises, the TENANTS notified the OWNER that the roof was leaking. The OWNER took immediate steps to mitigate the leak and now has contracted to replace the roof and requested a permit from the City for this work. (See Ex. H.) It is important to note that this condition did not make the Premises uninhabitable.

OWNER acted in a prompt and responsible manner to rectify this situation caused by a natural disaster. As such, relocation costs are not appropriate per Code section 7.50.030(b)(7).

Ceiling and Wall Holes: On January 10, 2023, in response to the notice of the roof leak, the OWNER found that the TENANTS, without authorization in breach of the Lease, and the City’s Building Code, had once again erected walls in the living room and dining room. (See photos, Ex. I - before and after.) The OWNER included this breach of the Lease in her Notice to Vacate but the TENANTS just kept blatantly disregarding her requests to not do this. (See Exhibits E & I.) Then, before CE’s January 13, 3023, inspection, the TENANTS removed these illegal walls, leaving terrible holes in the walls and ceilings. (See Ex. I - photos). The TENANTS caused these conditions (and any resulting mold) and the OWNER had no prior notice of them or an 9 712 of 1058
opportunity to cure as per the Lease and California law. As such, per Code sections

7.50.030(b)(2) and (b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for these alleged conditions.

6. TENANTS Removed the Working Smoke Detectors
The OWNER has clearly established that when TENANTS took possession of the Premises they acknowledged that working smoke detectors were present and agreed to keep them functional with regular battery replacement. (See Exhibits A-C) The Lease also mandated that the TENANTS inform the OWNER immediately, in writing, of any defect, malfunction or failure of such detectors.

TENANTS removed the smoke detectors. They also never notified OWNER of any problems with the smoke detectors.

Per the Lease and California law, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for the conditions the TENANTS caused or those for which she had no notice and an opportunity to cure them. As such, per Code sections 7.50.030(b)(2) and (b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for these alleged conditions.

7. The TENANTS’ Failure to Clean and Maintain the Premises Caused the Infestation of Rodents & Pests
The premises were free of infestations when the OWNER turned over possession to TENANTS. (See Exhibits A-C, paragraph 11.) Thereafter, TENANTS lived in squalor with uncovered and half eaten food throughout the house especially in the bedrooms. At one point during the tenancy, the OWNER even paid for an additional extermination but the TENANTS continued on living in squalor, attracting rodents and pests. The OWNER’s Notice to Vacate, included TENANTS perpetually leaving trash out and uncovered causing health and rodent problems. It is most disconcerting that CE blatantly refused to acknowledge the TENANTS’ actions in this regard.

As there is no question the TENANTS caused the infestations, the OWNER cannot be held liable for this condition. As such, per Code sections 7.50.030(b)(2), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this alleged condition.

8. OWNER Had No Notice or Reason to Know The Home Had Termite Damage; The OWNER turned over possession of her family’s home to the TENANTS free of infestations. (See Exhibits A-C, paragraph 11). The TENANTS never notified the OWNER about termites or provided her with an opportunity to cure these purported conditions. 10 713 of 1058
Per the Lease and California law, without prior notice of these alleged conditions and an opportunity to cure them, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for them. Moreover, there has not been a professional termite inspection to even determine that there are termites.

9. The TENANTS Restricted Lighting and Ventilation
The OWNER provided the Premises to TENANTS with all lighting fixtures operational. The TENANTS’ makeshift attempts to subdivide the rooms interfered with ventilation and lighting. (See Ex. I.) CE inspections blatantly failed to reflect these conditions. The OWNER’s Notice to Vacate included TENANTS’ breach of the Lease by subdividing. Again, TENANTS kept blatantly disregarding her requests to not do this. (See Exhibits E & I.) The OWNER has clearly demonstrated that any inadequate light or ventilation in the Premises is attributed to the TENANTS and per Code sections 7.50.030(b)(2) and (b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for these alleged conditions.

10. TENANTS Never Notified OWNER About Any Possible Gas Leak TENANTS had sole possession of the Premises throughout the tenancy and they would have been in the best position to know about a gas leak.

Moreover, CE failed to take immediate action to notify OWNER of a suspected gas leak. CE did nothing and there were children living in the Premises.

The TENANTS failed to notify OWNER and allow OWNER an opportunity to cure the condition regarding a possible gas leak. Per the Lease and California law, without prior notice of these alleged conditions and an opportunity to cure them, the OWNER cannot be held responsible for them, which conditions the TENANTS caused. As such, per Code sections

7.50.030(b)(2) and (b)(3), the TENANTS are NOT entitled to relocation costs for this alleged condition.

OTHER DAMAGES
The other damages listed in CE’s assessment are not listed as life safety issues and therefore do not appear to comprise the basis for the Assessment of relocation costs. The OWNER’s position as to these damages is however, the same as above, the TENANTS caused these conditions and destroyed the Premises. Their misconduct makes them ineligible for relocation costs.

CONCLUSION
The OWNER has produced significant and sufficient evidence to summarily grant her Appeal.

The overwhelming evidence shows the TENANTS damaged the PREMISES, concealed 11 714 of 1058
conditions, failed to notify her or provide an opportunity to cure. Per the City’s Code, the TENANTS are ineligible for relocation costs.

The OWNER served a Notice to Vacate months before the CE Assessment because of the TENANTS’ destruction of the Premises. The OWNER continuously asked the TENANTS to comply with the Lease and the TENANTS egregiously refused. When she told them that they had to leave they went into overdrive damaging the Premises.

The TENANTS must NOT benefit from their malicious and retaliatory deeds. They are gaming the system to extract relocation costs and exploiting a senior in the process. As a result of the TENANTS’ actions the OWNER is now spending thousands of dollars to rehabilitate her family home and repair the extensive damages caused by the TENANTS. The OWNER wants her family home back so she can move in and enjoy it.

The OWNER respectfully asks the San Mateo City Council to grant this Appeal, order CE to withdraw the Assessment and return her fee for this Appeal as CE should have investigated with her prior to issuing an Assessment Notice and they failed to do so.

FINAL NOTICE TO ABATE A PUBLIC NUISANCE
You are receiving this letter as the record owner of the property located at 100 N Humboldt St. in San Mateo, California and it is part of the ongoing Code Enforcement Case. On 02/01/2023 (copy attached), we notified you that violations of the San Mateo Municipal Code (SMMC) exist on your property, and as of the date on this letter those violations have not been abated. This is your final notice. Failure to abate the violations may result in citations, other administrative penalties, or referral to the City Attorney’s Office for legal action.

Immediate Life Safety & Substandard Conditions:

1. Visible mold in both the walls and ceilings located in the bathroom and in two bedrooms,
