STAFF REPORT

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTEE, CALIFORNIA,

AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2023 TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA’S OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH AND DEPARTMENT OF

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND FINDING THE ACTION IS NOT

A PROJECT AND THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 27, 2024
A. BACKGROUND
The attached Annual Progress Reports (APR) on General Plan and Housing Element Implementation for Calendar Year 2023 were prepared pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400 and the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Regulations. State law requires that a report be provided annually to the City Council, State of California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and HCD on the status of the General Plan and Housing Element, progress in its implementation, progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The report will be used by OPR and HCD to assist State-level decision making and to ensure that the City of Santee (City)’s certified Housing Element remains compliant with State Housing law.

Housing is considered affordable if no more than 30% of a household’s income is spent on housing. To track housing affordability, HCD breaks household incomes into four levels based on County Area Median Income (AMI). Very Low Income households earn 50% or less of the AMI and Low Income households earn 51% to 80% of the AMI.

Moderate Income households earn 81% to 120% of the AMI, whereas Above Moderate Income households earn more than 120% of the AMI. The AMI for a four-person household in San Diego County in 2023 was $116,800.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report includes detailed information on new residential units based on entitlement status, building permits issued, and building permits finaled. The City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is based on building permits issued. The City must also report the affordability of all residential units entitled, permitted, and finaled. Based on recently certified Housing Elements from other jurisdictions in San Diego County, where HCD allowed rental and for-sale multifamily housing units, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs), to count as moderate-income housing toward the jurisdiction’s respective RHNA, the City is taking the same approach and allocating for-sale and rental multifamily housing and ADUs to the moderate-income RHNA affordability bracket.

B. REPORTING PERIOD
These progress report covers general plan implementation and housing production, affordability and status of Housing Element programs for Calendar Year 2023.

INTRODUCTION
California state law requires each city and county to adopt a general plan “for the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency’s judgment bears relation to its planning” (Gov. Code § 65300). The general plan expresses the community’s development goals and embodies public policy relative to the distribution of future land uses, both public and private. The California Supreme Court has described general plans as the “charter to which [zoning] ordinance[s] must conform”, but the general plan extends far beyond zoning and land use (Lesher Communications, Inc. v. City of Walnut Creek (1990) 52 Cal.3d 531, 540).

The purpose of a general plan is to guide land use planning decisions. Under state law, subdivisions, capital improvements, development agreements, and many other land use actions must be consistent with the adopted general plan. In counties and general law cities, zoning and specific plans are also required to conform to the general plan. In addition, preparing, adopting, implementing, and maintaining the general plan serves to identify the community’s land use, circulation, environmental, economic, and social goals and policies as they relate to future growth and development. Studies show that land use decisions affect transportation, electricity, and water demand. Each planning decision affects multiple objectives beyond the immediate outcomes. General plans benefit local communities by promoting better projects, streamlined processes, integrated planning, and improved access and use of available resources.

REQUIRED ELEMENTS
In statute, the general plan is presented as a collection of “elements,” or topic categories (Gov. Code §65302). These elements are briefly summarized below.

Land Use: designates the type, intensity, and general distribution of uses of land for housing, business, industry, open space, education, public buildings and grounds, waste disposal facilities, and other categories of public and private uses.

Circulation: correlates with the land use element and identifies the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities.

Housing: assesses current and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community. In addition, the housing element embodies policies for providing adequate housing and includes action programs for that purpose. By statute, the housing element must be updated every eight years according to a schedule set by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Conservation: addresses the conservation, development, and use of natural resources, including water, forests, soils, rivers, and mineral deposits.

Open Space: details plans and measures for the long–range preservation and conservation of open–space lands, including open space for the preservation of natural resources, the

GENERAL PLAN
22 | Page
managed production of resources, agriculture, outdoor recreation, and public health and safety.

Noise: identifies and appraises noise problems within the community and forms the basis for land use distribution determinations.

Safety: establishes policies and programs to protect the community from risks associated with seismic, geologic, flood, and wildfire hazards, as well as from other concerns such as drought.

Environmental Justice: Identifies disadvantaged communities within the City and establishes objectives and policies to reduce the unique health risks in those communities, promote civic engagement in the public decision-making process and prioritize improvements and programs that address the needs of the disadvantaged communities.

Air Quality: Air quality considerations are required for cities and counties who are required to include an environmental justice element in their general plans and are optional elements in other areas of the state.

Other optional elements: a general plan may also include other topics of local interest. In addition to the mandatory elements, a city or county may adopt any other elements that relate to its physical development (Gov. Code § 65303).

The City of Santee has adopted the following General Plan Elements:
• Land Use Element
• Housing Element
• Mobility Element
• Recreation Element
• Trails Element
• Conservation Element
• Noise Element
• Safety Element (actively being updated)
• Community Enhancement Element
• Environmental Justice Element (being prepared as part of Safety Element Update)

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
23 | Page
The following are the numerous goals, objectives, and policies of all General Plan Elements adopted by the City of Santee:

LAND USE ELEMENT
Goal: Promote development of a well-balanced and functional mix of residential, commercial, industrial, open space, recreation, and civic uses that will create and maintain a high-quality environment.

Objectives and Policies:

Objective 1.0 Continue implementation of the Town Center Specific Plan which provides for retail commercial, office, recreational and other appropriate uses to establish a focal point for the City.
• Policy 1.1 The City shall encourage the continued use of public/private partnerships in the development and implementation of the Town Center Specific Plan. • Policy 1.2 The City shall incorporate residential development into any master plan for the Edgemoor property on the south side of the San Diego River to take advantage of the proximity of the multi-modal transit station.
• Policy 1.3 The City should encourage the preservation of the biological and visual resources of the San Diego River as part of any development in the Town Center area.

Objective 2.0 Allow for the development of a wide range of housing types in the City. • Policy 2.1 The City should promote the use of innovative site planning techniques that contribute towards provision of a variety of residential product styles and designs. • Policy 2.2 The City should encourage the development of higher density residential developments in areas close to the multi-modal transit station and along major road corridors where transit and other convenience services are available. • Policy 2.3 The City should encourage planned residential and/or planned unit developments that provide adequate open space, recreational facilities, off-street parking, interior circulation patterns and other amenities and facilities.

Objective 3.0 Provide and maintain the highest level of service possible for all community public services and facilities.
• Policy 3.1 The City should ensure that land divisions and developments are approved within the City only when a project's improvements, dedications, fees and other revenues to the City and other agencies fully cover the project's incremental costs to the City and other agencies. These costs are for providing new or upgraded capital improvements and other public facilities and equipment resulting from, and attributable to the project, which are necessary to protect and promote the public's health, safety and welfare and to implement feasible mitigation measures. Such facilities include, but are not limited to: parks, bridges, major roads, traffic signals, street lights, drainage systems, sewers, water, flood control, fire, police, schools, hiking/bicycle trails and other related facilities. In calculating benefits of land divisions and developments, the City may consider other public objectives and goals including social, economic (job creation, secondary economic benefits, etc) and environmental factors. 24 | Page
• Policy 3.2 The City should encourage the development and use of recycled water for appropriate land uses to encourage the conservation of, and reduce demand for, potable water.
• Policy 3.3 The City should consider the use of public / private partnerships when appropriate to facilitate introduction of desirable and innovative development within the City.
• Policy 3.4 The City shall continue to update and implement a 5-year Capital Improvement Program to improve existing public facilities and develop necessary new public facilities.
• Policy 3.5 The City should coordinate the scheduling of planned Capital Improvement Projects with other agencies and utilities to minimize disruptions of City streets and facilities.
• Policy 3.6 The City shall require the placement of utility lines underground where feasible.
• Policy 3.7 Development projects shall be reviewed to ensure that all necessary utilities are available to serve the project and that any land use incompatibilities or impacts resulting from public utilities shall be mitigated to the maximum extent possible.

Objective 4.0 Provide for the development of conveniently located neighborhood shopping centers.
• Policy 4.1 The City should ensure that all residential areas are adequately provided for in terms of day-to-day shopping needs which include convenience goods, food and personal services.
• Policy 4.2 Through the Development Review process, the City shall promote the consolidation of existing freestanding commercial outlets where appropriate and discourage additional strip commercial development.
• Policy 4.3 The City should locate new neighborhood commercial uses along major roadways in consolidated centers that utilize common access and parking for commercial uses, discourage the introduction of strip commercial uses and require adequate pedestrian links to residential areas.

Objective 5.0 Develop industrial uses which are compatible with adjacent land uses. • Policy 5.1 The City should promote industrial uses on the north side of Gillespie Field which support or capitalize on the aviation opportunities available. • Policy 5.2 The City should promote consolidation of industrial uses into comprehensively planned industrial parks.
• Policy 5.3 The City shall ensure that industrial development creates no significant offsite impacts related to access and circulation, noise, dust, odors, visual features and hazardous materials, that cannot be adequately mitigated. • Policy 5.4 The City shall promote a mix of industrial uses that provide the City with a sound, diverse industrial base.
25 | Page
• Policy 5.5 The City should ensure that industrial developments provide for business service needs and the needs of employees.
• Policy 5.6 The City should consider the use of its redevelopment powers to help facilitate development of industrial properties within the Redevelopment Project Area which can improve blighted conditions and provide economic benefits to the community.

Objective 6.0 Ensure that natural and man-induced hazards are adequately addressed in the location and intensity of development in the City.
• Policy 6.1 The City shall utilize all mapped information, objectives and policies contained in the Safety and Conservation Elements during the development review process.
• Policy 6.2 The City should promote the use of innovative site planning to avoid on-site hazards and minimize risk levels.

Objective 7.0 Undertake development of large, contiguous, vacant or underutilized parcels in a comprehensive manner.
• Policy 7.1 The City shall utilize and initiate, in appropriate locations, the use of comprehensive planning process for development of large landholdings. Appropriate locations shall include large contiguous vacant or underutilized parcels (i.e., 10 acres or larger in area) under single ownership that contain unique resources such as a hillside or watercourse, where a combination of uses are proposed on the site or where phased implementation of the development is necessary to minimize the impact on the City. If a comprehensive planning process involves multiple ownerships, the plan should apply to the total area of these ownerships. For smaller contiguous vacant or underutilized parcels (i.e., less than 10 acres in area), a comprehensive planning process should be considered to allow for the comprehensive development of the land. • Policy 7.2 A comprehensive development plan shall be prepared prior to approving any subdivision of land or land development proposal unless the Director of Development Services makes a determination that the subdivision would not have a significant affect on the ultimate development of the property.

Objective 8.0 Minimize land use conflicts and maximize mutual benefits between adjacent land uses in the City.
• Policy 8.1 The City shall, upon adoption of the updated General Plan, undertake a comprehensive review and revision of the existing Zoning Ordinance and related codes in a timely manner to ensure they are compatible with, and adequately implement, the General Plan.
• Policy 8.2 The City should consider relocation of remedial buffering treatments for mitigating land use conflicts.
• Policy 8.3 The City should encourage an innovative mix of land uses when such a mix could enhance the viability of development and provide for common public services and site planning requirements.
26 | Page
• Policy 8.4 The City should consider the Adjacent Land Use Compatibility Guide chart to assist in an initial determination of overall land use compatibility for adjacent land uses.
• Policy 8.5 The City shall strive to minimize direct and indirect impacts on existing or planned preserved open space from adjacent development.

Objective 9.0 Minimize land use conflicts between land uses in adjacent areas and existing and planned land uses in the City.
• Policy 9.1 The City should encourage the City of San Diego to protect vacant lands in the East Elliot area along the City’s western boundary as part of a regional biological preserve system.
• Policy 9.2 The City should oppose any expansion or operational changes at the Sycamore Landfill that will result in increased land use compatibility impacts to the City, unless they can be adequately mitigated.
• Policy 9.3 The City should oppose any new mining operations or expansion of currently approved mining operations to the north and northeast of the City that would conflict with planned development in the Fanita Ranch.
• Policy 9.4 The City should not support the establishment of any regional authority or agency that does not provide adequate representation for either the City or East County region.
• Policy 9.5 The City should oppose the establishment of a regional airport on the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar or adjacent lands east of Interstate 15. Any proposal for a regional airport at Miramar west of Interstate 15 should avoid significant adverse impacts to existing or planned development within the City. • Policy 9.6 The City should support the continued expansion of the Mission Trails Regional Park, consistent with the approved Master Plan. • Policy 9.7 The City shall oppose the establishment of an off-road vehicle park adjacent to, or near the City that will result in significant compatibility impacts with existing or planned development in the City.

Objective 10.0 Provide for the reasonable and logical future growth of the City. • Policy 10.1 The City should actively pursue annexation of the land currently under the jurisdiction of the City of San Diego, which is located along the San Diego River at the western City limits to the Mission Trails Regional Park, and in the East Elliot area on the City’s western boundary.
• Policy 10.2 The City should cooperate with adjacent jurisdictions in establishing a Sphere of Influence.
• Policy 10.3 The City shall establish a Planning Area as identified in Figure 1-5, Planning Area, pursuant to provisions of Section 65300 of the California Government Code.
• Policy 10.4 The City should actively monitor and comment on all significant development proposals within the Planning Area.
27 | Page
Objective 11.0 Ensure that development in the City is consistent with the overall community character and contributes positively towards the City’s image. • Policy 11.1 The City shall ensure that all requirements set forth within the Community Enhancement Element are implemented during the development review process. • Policy 11.2 The City should maintain, and update as needed, the design standards for landscaping and site planning to provide guidelines for future developments.

Objective 12.0 Maintain the Integrity and Consistency of the General Plan. • Policy 12.1 Permitted land uses in the City shall be intensified only when the voters approve such changes. No General Plan amendment, Planned Development Area or new Specific Planning Area shall be adopted which would:
o 1) increase the residential density permitted by law, o 2) change, alter, or increase the General Plan Residential Land Use categories if the change intensifies use; or
o 3) change any residential designation to commercial or industrial designation on any property, or vice versa, if the change intensifies use; unless and until such action is approved and adopted by the voters of the City at a special or general election, or approved first by the City Council and then adopted by the voters in such an election.
• Policy 12.2 No change to the slope criteria and minimum parcel sizes and lot averaging provisions of this General Plan which would permit increased density or intensity of use shall be adopted unless and until such change is approved by ordinance adopted by the voters of the City at a special or general election, or approved first by the City Council and then adopted by the voters in such an election. • Policy 12.3 The City Council shall set any election required by this Objective to the next available general municipal election at no cost to the proponent of the land use change, or set a special election, the cost of which shall be borne by the proponent. • Policy 12.4 The voter approval requirement of subsection (a) shall not apply where the General Plan amendment is necessary to comply with state or federal law governing the provision of housing, including, but not limited to affordable housing requirements.

This exception applies only if the City Council first makes each of the following findings based on substantial evidence in the record:
o 1) a specific provision of state or federal law requires the City to accommodate the housing that will be permitted by the amendment;
o 2) the amendment permits no greater density than that necessary to accommodate the required housing; and
o 3) an alternative site that is not subject to the voter approval requirement in this Policy is not available to satisfy the specific state or federal housing law.

MOBILITY ELEMENT
Goal: A balanced, interconnected multimodal transportation network that allows for the efficient and safe movement of all people and goods, and that supports the current and future needs of Santee community members and travel generated by planned land uses.

Objectives and Policies:

Objective 1.0 Ensure that the existing and future transportation system is accessible, safe, reliable, efficient, integrated, convenient, well-connected and multimodal. The system will accommodate active transportation, and accommodate people of all ages and abilities, including pedestrians, disabled, bicyclists, users of mass transit, motorists, emergency responders, freight providers and adjacent land uses.
• Policy 1.1 The City shall provide integrated transportation and land use decisions that will enhance the smart growth development served by complete streets, which facilitate multimodal transportation opportunities.
• Policy 1.2 The City should design streets in a manner that is sensitive to the local context and recognizes that needs vary between mixed use, urban, suburban, and rural settings.
31 | Page
• Policy 1.3 The City shall ensure that the entire right-of-way is designed to accommodate appropriate modes of transportation.
• Policy 1.4 The City should create a vibrant town center by developing a connected system of multi-modal corridors that encourage walking, biking, and riding transit. A mobility hub should be considered at the existing Santee Trolley Square providing such features such as bikeshare, bike parking, carshare, neighborhood electric vehicles, real-time traveler information, demand-based shuttle services, wayfinding signage, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, urban design enhancements, etc. • Policy 1.5 The City should review, update and collect adequate transportation impact fees (TIF) and ensure the efficient allocation of state and regional funding sources for the development and maintenance of local transportation (across all modes) improvements and operations.

Objective 2.0 Develop an efficient, safe and multi-modal transportation network, consisting of local roads, collectors, arterials, freeways and transit services, in a manner that promotes the health and mobility of Santee residents and that meets future circulation needs, provides access to all sectors of the City, and supports established and planned land uses. • Policy 2.1 The City shall encourage an automobile Level of Service “D” on street segments and at intersections throughout the circulation network while also maintaining or improving the effectiveness of the non-automotive components of the circulation system (i.e. pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit), especially in the Town Center area.

STAFF REPORT
AWARD OF CONTRACTS TO SWARCO/MCCAIN INC. FOR THE

PROCUREMENT OF A SMART SIGNAL SYSTEM FOR THE MISSION GORGE

ROAD SMART SIGNALS PROJECT

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
March 27, 2024
A. OBJECTIVE
The implementation of a smart (adaptive) signal system on Mission Gorge Road was identified by City Council as a priority. Staff has conducted extensive reviews of several of the most widely deployed smart signal systems. This staff report will provide the background on how the recommended system was selected.

B. SCOPE OF PROJECT
The project includes implementing a smart signal system at the following ten intersections on Mission Gorge Road:

Fanita Drive
Carlton Hills Boulevard
Kohl’s Driveway
Lowe’s Driveway
Town Center Parkway
Mission Greens Road
Riverview Parkway
Cottonwood Avenue
Edgemoor Drive
Magnolia Avenue
Two intersections on Magnolia Avenue will also be included as they are currently coordinated with the system on Mission Gorge Road.

C. OVERVIEW OF EXISTING SIGNAL COORDINATION SYSTEM
The traffic signal coordination system currently deployed on Mission Gorge Road uses a fixed cycle operation system which is the standard way of operation for the last 30 to 40 years. There are three plans: AM, Mid-day, and PM plans. Each plan runs on a pre-determined fixed cycle based on historical traffic volumes during the period. A common cycle for all the controllers in the system is necessary in order to provide consistent progression by staggering the onset of green times at each intersection. A fixed cycle coordination can also facilitate directional travel by providing progression favoring the heavy direction, such as westbound in the AM peak on Mission Gorge Road, and eastbound in the PM peak hours. This type of 2 system works well when traffic patterns are predictable. The system provides some flexibility in terms of the amount of green time each approach receives up to a predetermined maximum. The disadvantage of the system is that the cycle and the maximums for each approach of an intersection are fixed for each period while traffic fluctuates constantly and it is not able to adjust the cycle, potentially causing delays.

D. REVIEW OF SMART SIGNAL SYSTEMS
Smart (adaptive) signal control is a new technology aimed at addressing the limitations of the current system by providing the capabilities of adjusting signal timing based on live traffic demand. There are several systems currently available.

A common issue with smart signal systems is that some make overly exaggerated claims on their performance and benefits which have been proven otherwise by both staff observations and research. The consensus in the industry is that smart signal systems have limitations and work the best where traffic volumes fluctuate (unpredictable) and traffic is not saturated (gridlock). Where traffic is predictable or saturated smart signals have limited benefits.

Staff reviewed a total of six systems. After initial review/consultation with vendors staff focused on three systems: system A, system B, and Transparity Adaptive.

The reason for selecting these three for in-depth reviews was that they are either being deployed in San Diego area (Cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, and Carlsbad), or being used by the city already (Transparity) without the adaptive functionalities. The reviews included meetings with vendors, reviewing before and after travel time studies (comparing travel time and delays before vs. after the implementation), and field driving and observing the systems.

System A: this system is currently deployed in the City of San Diego on multiple corridors. The system required extensive field monitoring and adjustments and took the vendor quite a while to get it to work adequately. It provides progression for traffic on the main streets often at the expense of excessive delays to traffic on the side streets. The greatest issue for staff is that the vendor does not share how it works and/or how to adjust the system which renders it impossible for staff to make corrections quickly when issues arise and to respond promptly to public requests. Therefore, this system was ruled out.

System B: this system is currently being used in the City of Chula Vista and was tested in Carlsbad. Per staff review of the before and after study and actually driving the system this system appears to work in a satisfactory fashion by providing decent progression on the main streets while serving the side streets adequately. It was concluded that this system could be a viable option. 3 Transparity Adaptive: this is the central control system that the City currently uses for controlling and monitoring traffic signals. It has adaptive capabilities which can be activated by paying for a license fee. As part of the Magnolia Avenue traffic signal upgrade project, staff tested the adaptive functionalities of Transparity Adaptive and concluded that the system performs adequately in adjusting timing based on actual traffic demand and provide progression on the main street. It performs comparable to other systems that staff has reviewed, however, has one of the lowest overall costs and the advantage of local technical support as Swarco McCain Inc. is based in San Diego. It also comes with capabilities for monitoring system performance.

The other three systems were ruled out due to one or more of these reasons: no local implementation, not clear how it works, flawed algorithm or algorithm less superior than Transparity Adaptive, and higher cost.

E. CONTROLLER FIRMWARE
In order for a traffic signal controller to work with the Transparity Adaptive system the controller must have the necessary firmware which is only available from Swarco/McCain Inc. Therefore, the procurement of 12 firmware from Swarco/McCain Inc. would be necessary.

F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the reviews above staff recommends that City Council approve the sole-source procurement of Transparity Adaptive licensing along with technical support services in the amount of $91,628.00, and firmware in the amount of $12,930.00 from Swarco/McCain Inc., for 12 signals on Mission Gorge Road and Magnolia Avenue
This action is exempt from competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Santee Municipal Code section 3.24.020 (b)(ii): ““Sole source” means …… a commodity:
…… must match or be compatible with other supplies, equipment or material presently used and the awarding authority has made a finding to this extent.” RESOLUTION NO. __________
