STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH/SOLANA

BEACH SUCCESSOR AGENCY
TO: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Councilmembers/Directors FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager/Executive Director
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Finance Department – Rachel Jacobs, Finance Director SUBJECT: City Council/Successor Agency Consideration of Resolution SA-033 Approving the Administrative Budget
and Resolution SA-034 Approving the Recognized
Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) Both for the Period
July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026
BACKGROUND:

As of February 1, 2012, the Solana Beach Redevelopment Agency (the “Agency”) was dissolved pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 1x26, which was found to be constitutional by the California Supreme Court in its decision in the California Redevelopment Association v. Matosantos case. Prior to the dissolution of the Agency, on January 11, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution 2012-011, electing to become the Successor Agency (SA) to the Agency. Included as part of this legislation was the formation of a Countywide Oversight Board (OB) to replace all local Oversight Boards for each city’s SA to be effective July 1, 2016. However, Senate Bill (SB) 107 delayed the formation of this Countywide OB until July 1, 2018.

On June 27, 2012, as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012/13 State budget package, the Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, AB 1484, the primary purpose of which was to make technical and substantive amendments to AB 1x26, and SB 107 (collectively referred to as the "Dissolution Laws"), based on experience at the State and local level in implementing that AB 1x26. AB 1484 made several changes to the process and timing for preparation and approval of a SA’s Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS). The ROPS sets forth the payment amounts needed for the SA to meet its outstanding enforceable obligations for each fiscal year period until all outstanding debt and obligations are paid.

As part of the FY 2015/16 State budget package, the Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 107. As a budget "trailer bill", SB 107 took immediate effect upon signature by the Governor on September 22, 2015. The primary purpose of SB 107 was to make technical January 15, 2025
Successor Agency ROPS 25-26 and Administrative Budget

and substantive amendments to the existing Dissolution Laws including requiring an annual rather than a biannual ROPS and new administrative cost allocation formulas.

This item is before the City Council, in its capacity as the SA, for consideration of Resolution SA-033 (Attachment 1) approving the SA’s Administrative Budget for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and Resolution SA-034 (Attachment 2) approving the ROPS 25-26 for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

DISCUSSION:

Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS)
As noted above, the ROPS sets forth the payment amounts needed for the SA to meet its outstanding enforceable obligations for each fiscal year period until all outstanding debt and obligations are paid. The ROPS 25-26 will cover the twelve-month enforceable obligation payment cycle under the Dissolution Laws and will control distributions from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund ("RPTTF") to pay enforceable obligations during the period from July 2025, through June 2026. The enforceable obligations in Solana Beach consist primarily of bond payments (which includes $200,798 in annual bond debt service and $7,200 in related fees) and payments for legal services for the “The Affordable Housing Coalition of San Diego v Sandoval, et al” and “San Diego County Board of Education (SDCBofE), et al vs Sandoval, et al” cases (which totals $10,000) and the requested administrative budget of $33,650. For the ROPS 25-26 period, enforceable obligations for which RPTTF will be requested totals $251,648.

The ROPS 25-26 must be prepared on a template form released by the Department of Finance (DOF) and must be approved by the SA’s Oversight Board and transmitted to the DOF and other specified recipients by February 1, 2025. As previously noted, beginning with the ROPS 19-20 there is one Countywide Oversight Board as opposed to individual Oversight Boards for each successor agency. The DOF must approve or disapprove the various enforceable obligations (including payment amounts and funding sources) set forth on an oversight board-approved ROPS 25-26 by April 15, 2025. If necessary, the SA then has five (5) business days to request a "meet and confer" session with the DOF to seek reconsideration by the DOF of any disputed enforceable obligation items.

The DOF meet and confers will generally occur within the following 30-day period, with the DOF required to provide its final determination on ROPS 25-26 enforceable obligations by May 17, 2025 (14 days prior to the next RPTTF distribution). The ROPS 25-26 preparation and approval process will culminate this year with a June 1, 2025, distribution to the SA of RPTTF funds by each county auditor-controller to cover specified administrative costs and for payment of upcoming enforceable obligations during July 2025 through June 2026, along with RPTTF pass-through payments and the distribution of any remaining residual RPTTF funds to other affected taxing entities.

The ROPS 25-26 will be submitted to the Oversight Board for approval at their regular meeting on January 16, 2025, with a subsequent submission to the DOF by the February 1, 2025, deadline.

January 15, 2025
Successor Agency ROPS 25-26 and Administrative Budget

Page 3 of 5 ends

The ROPS 25-26 consists entirely of items included on ROPS 24-25 and previously approved by the DOF.

If necessary, pursuant to SB 107, the annual ROPS can only be amended once and no later than October 1st of a given fiscal year.

Successor Agency Administrative Budget and Administrative Cost Allowance Pursuant to the Dissolution Laws, the SA must also prepare an Administrative Budget for the fiscal year for approval by the Oversight Board. Before the passage of SB 107, the SA was entitled to an Administrative Cost Allowance for a fiscal year equal to the greater of $250,000 or 3% of the RPTTF received by the SA from the County Auditor-Controller to make enforceable obligation payments during the fiscal year. In the case of Solana Beach, prior to the passage of SB 107, the SA typically received $250,000 annually or $125,000 for each six-month ROPS period.

Beginning July 1, 2016, the Administrative Cost Allowance is the greater of $250,000 or up to 3% of the actual RPTTF distributed to the successor agency in the preceding fiscal year, reduced by the SA’s Administrative Cost Allowance. However, in no case can the Administrative Cost Allowance exceed 50% of the total RPTTF to pay enforceable obligations in the preceding fiscal year, reduced by administrative costs paid for by RPTTF. In Solana Beach, under the 50% formula, the maximum Administrative Cost Allowance would be $104,267 for the upcoming ROPS period. Last year, or FY 2024/25, the City requested and was approved for $63,284 based on projected SA administrative expenditures.

The Administrative Cost Allowance calculation for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, using the criteria in the paragraph above, is shown in the Administrative Cost Allowance (ACA) for ROPS 25-26 table in Attachment 3.

This Administrative Budget must include:
• Estimated amounts for SA administrative costs for the upcoming two six-month periods.
• Proposed sources of payment for such administrative costs, which may include the Administrative Cost Allowance described below, as well as other eligible sources available to the SA.
• Proposals for arrangements for administrative/operations services to be provided to the SA by the Sponsoring Community or other entity.

The Administrative Budget for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, is prepared in conjunction with the ROPS for the same time period. Though the SA can request up to $104,267 as an Administrative Cost Allowance, the SA is requesting an amount of $33,650 for the Administrative Budget for July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The Administrative Budget includes $18,000 for Staff salary and benefits to reimburse the City of Solana Beach (City) for Staff work, $5,500 for legal and audit professional services, January 15, 2025
Successor Agency ROPS 25-26 and Administrative Budget

Page 4 of 5 ends

$500 for materials and supplies, and $9,650 for related costs based on the City’s cost allocation plan that are based on a City-wide allocation of Staff salary and benefits.

The requested Administrative Budget amount of $33,650 for FY 2025/26 is less than the $63,284 amount requested in FY 2024/25 primarily due adjustment in Staff payroll allocations and updated cost allocation plan.

The Administrative Budget will also be submitted to the Oversight Board for approval at a regular meeting on January 16, 2025. The administrative budget is no longer required to be submitted to the DOF for their approval.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

For the ROPS 25-26 period, enforceable obligations for which RPTTF will be requested totals $251,648. This amount includes $200,798 of bond debt service payments, $7,200 of bond-related fees, and $10,000 of Dissolution Laws Litigation costs. The Administrative Cost Allowance requested is $33,650.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Engineering Department, Dan Goldberg
SUBJECT: City Council Consideration of Resolution 2025-002 Authorizing the City Clerk to File a Notice of Completion for the La Colonia Tot Lot Replacement Project
BACKGROUND:

The construction contract for the La Colonia Tot Lot Replacement, Bid No. 2023-08, was awarded to Western Rim Constructors, Inc. on September 27, 2023. Construction of the project started in November 2023 and was completed in May 2024. At the end of construction, a 90-day plant establishment period started. Now that the plant establishment period is completed, the Notice of Completion (NOC) can be filed.

This item is before the City Council for consideration of Resolution 2025-002 (Attachment 1) to report the final project costs, accept the La Colonia Tot Lot Replacement as complete and direct the City Clerk to file a NOC.

DISCUSSION:

Western Rim Constructors, Inc. completed all work on this project in accordance with the approved plans and specifications of Bid No. 2023-08 to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The City will release the 5% retention, in the amount of $60,525.35, 35 days after the NOC is approved by the City Council.

Two change orders were approved and executed during construction of the project.

Change Order No. 1, in the amount of $12,897.00, compensated the contractor for furnishment and installation of two concrete benches. Change Order No. 2, in the amount of $73,056.00, compensated the contractor for a number of associated repairs within La Colonia Park. This included repairing and resurfacing of the La Colonia Basketball Court, removal and replacement of irrigation pressure reducing equipment for the recycled water system, purchase and installation of two umbrellas, replacement of wood mulch with January 15, 2025

rubber mulch, constructing a 6-inch concrete mow curb, and relocation of two backflow prevention devices. All of these associated improvements, as well as the Tot Lot and the vegetation establishment (90-day period) for the new landscaping of the Tot Lot, are complete.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 of the State CEQA Guidelines. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the San Diego County Clerk on December 1, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

A construction contract was awarded to Western Rim Constructors, Inc. at the September 27, 2023, City Council meeting in the amount of $1,124,554. An additional $95,056 was approved for a construction contingency to cover unforeseen items during construction and associated park improvements. There were two change orders approved and executed in the amount of $85,953.00, which equates to an effective contingency of approximately 7.6%.

Due to the complexities of the project construction, there is a need to increase the construction support agreement with Van Dyke Landscape Architects (VDLA) by $6,000.

This increase is included below in Table 1. Since there are sufficient funds remaining in the construction contingency to cover this additional expense, no additional appropriation is needed.

WORK PLAN:

The La Colonia Tot Lot Replacement is consistent with Item B.2 (La Colonia Park Improvements) of the Community Character Priorities section of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 Work Plan. Since the project was awarded and constructed in FY 2023/24, it was not listed in the FY 2024/25 Work Plan.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: City Manager’s Department
SUBJECT: Climate Action Commission Name Change
BACKGROUND:

On May 27, 2015, the City Council directed Staff to establish a Climate Action Commission (Commission) to focus on specific issues surrounding the development of a Climate Action Plan (CAP) including updating the City's Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory, setting reduction targets, implementing mitigation measures and performing periodic monitoring, verification and evaluations.

At the October 14, 2015 City Council meeting, Staff presented a recommendation that the new Commission be comprised of nine (9) members - two (2) Councilmembers, five (5) residents and two (2) non-resident members of the environmental and/or scientific community. Staff also recommended that the Commission would be advisory to the full City Council and that it must follow the regulations of the Brown Act. Staff recommended that the Commission meet on a monthly basis. City Council established the Climate Action Commission on November 4, 2015.

Since 2015, the Climate Action Commission played a pivotal role in the City adopting its first Climate Action Plan in 2017, and adopting the 2024 Climate Action Plan Update.

Additionally, the Climate Action Commission has engaged in public outreach and education to help implement the City’s ban on single-use plastic bags, food-related polystyrene initiatives, exploring the feasibility of creating a Community Choice Aggregation program, and more. The Climate Action Commission also took the lead on creating an Adaptation Chapter to the City’s Climate Action Plan.

Since the Council recently approved the 2024 Climate Action Plan Update, it makes sense to consider changing the name of the Commission to more adequately describe the role of the Commission, as it shifts its focus to implementation of the CAP Update mitigation measures and associated concentration on adaptation and resiliency. This item is before the Council to consider changing the name of the Climate Action Name Change to Climate & Resiliency Commission

Page 2 of 3 ends

Commission to the Climate & Resiliency Commission. The regular meetings of the Climate & Resiliency Commission shall be held as may be necessary and appropriate on a day and at an hour specified by resolution of the Commission, and the Commission may conduct special meetings at a time and location as may be necessary and appropriate, upon the approval of the chairperson or a majority of its members, in accordance with California open meeting laws. Based on input from the CAC at their December 2024 meeting, City Staff is recommending that the Commission meet on a bimonthly (every other month) basis moving forward.

DISCUSSION:

The 2024 Climate Action Plan Update incorporated equity throughout the plan, as well as adaptation and resiliency. Given this new focus, a Commission name that reflects the new additions felt appropriate. Staff presented the Commission with several name options at the December 18, 2024 meeting. Members unanimously voted to change the name to the Climate & Resiliency Commission, as the best representation of the climate action and resiliency work the Commission is committed to implementing.

CEQA COMPLIANCE STATEMENT: N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:

There are no additional fiscal impacts due to this change. This Commission will continue to comply with required LiveScan background checks paid for by Human Resources.

The work products developed by the Commission may have individual costs but those will be brought to Council for approval and authorization on a case-by-case basis. There may be costs incurred for training the Commission; however, those would generally be consistent with the training implemented for the existing CAC.

WORKPLAN:

The proposed Commission will be working on items associated with the Environmental Sustainability - Policy Development “Community-Wide Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reductions” Priority Item.

OPTIONS:

In considering this matter, the City Council has the following options:
• Approve Staff’s recommendation.
• Approve Staff’s recommendation with modifications.
• Do not approve Staff’s recommendation.

Name Change to Climate & Resiliency Commission

CITY STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council:

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

OF SOLANA BEACH, CALIFORNIA, RENAMING THE

SOLANA BEACH CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION TO

THE CLIMATE & RESILIENCY COMMISSION
WHEREAS, California is at the forefront of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission reduction laws, starting with the landmark passing of Assembly Bill 32 (“AB 32”) the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, that established a GHG reduction target of 1990 levels by 2020. Building from that, Governor Brown issued Executive Order B-30-15 that established the most aggressive benchmark enacted by any government in North America to reduce GHG emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Many cities adopted Climate Action Plans to set targets in alignment with California law and implement quantifiable measures to meet those targets; and WHEREAS, on May 27, 2015, the City Council directed Staff to establish a Climate Action Commission to focus on specific issues surrounding the development of a Climate Action Plan including updating the City's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, setting reduction targets, implementing mitigation measures and performing periodic monitoring, verification and evaluations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council directed that the Commission be comprised of a cross-section of community members representing all sectors and would require constant and detailed training to comprehend the complex issues surrounding the CAP implementation; and
WHEREAS, on October 14, 2015, the City Council directed that all residents and professionals on the Commission be voting members and that the applications to be on the commission require the submission of a C.V. or resume and the support of at least one other resident of the City in addition to the City’s usual requirements for a commission appointment application; and
WHEREAS, since 2015, the Climate Action Commission played a pivotal role in the City adopting its first Climate Action Plan in 2017 and adopting the 2024 Climate Action Plan Update. Additionally, the Climate Action Commission has engaged in public outreach and education to help implement the City’s ban on single-use plastic bags, food-related polystyrene initiatives, exploring the feasibility of creating a Community Choice Aggregation program, and more.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Finance – Rachel Jacobs, Finance Director SUBJECT: Council Consideration Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan Updates & Resolution 2025-001 Updating the City’s Fee
Schedule
BACKGROUND:

A Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) project was initiated by the City of Solana Beach (City) in January 2024. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued, two consultant proposals were received, and, in March 2024, a professional services agreement was executed with Willdan Financial Services, to update the City’s current fee schedule and CAP.

This project proceeded in two phases. The first phase was to prepare an updated CAP, which distributes general government and support services across the direct services provided to the public. This phase was completed in July 2024. The second phase was an analysis of the City’s user fees and charges to accurately represent the efforts entailed in providing each of the City’s services and programs. This phase was completed in October 2024.

The last comprehensive fee study was undertaken in 2017, and new fees have been added as needed, but in general, the City’s user fees, development review and permit fees, and regulatory fees have remained unchanged since the last fee study.

This item is before Council to consider adoption of Resolution 2025-001 (Attachment 1) approving the update of the City’s Schedule of Fees, effective March 17, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

User fees and charges are collected to recover some or all costs incurred in providing a January 15, 2025

specific service from which one or more individuals (i.e. permit applicants) obtain a benefit. It is a best practice for cities to perform a comprehensive update of their cost allocation plans every 5 years and review user fees and charges schedules annually.

One of the Council’s overarching Work Plan goals is to enhance the City’s long-term fiscal sustainability. Adopting a fee methodology and resulting fee adjustments realigns user fees to more efficiently utilize general revenues (taxes) for services and programs such as public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and economic development.

Furthermore, the California Constitution (Propositions 13, 218 and 26) and various state laws have placed both substantive and procedural limits on cities’ ability to impose fees and charges. Proposition 26 contains a more general articulation of the cost of service principle and includes a requirement that the local government bear the burden of proof that 1) “a levy, charge, or other exaction is not a tax; 2) that the amount is no more than necessary to recover the reasonable costs of the government activity; and 3) that the manner in which those costs are allocated to a payor bear a fair or reasonable relationship to the payor’s burden on, or benefits received from, the governmental activity.” (Cal.

Const. art. XIII C, § (e).). It is important to note that rental charges for rooms or facilities, fines, penalties and late charges are not technically user fees and are not required to be based on actual costs. Instead, these types of charges are more typically governed by market rates, reasonableness and other policy driven factors and can legally exceed the cost.

In January 2024, the City released a RFP solicitation for an independent consultant with expertise in municipal finance to update the City’s cost allocation plan and conduct a review of its user fee schedule. Two proposals were received and, after an evaluation process, Willdan Financial Services received the highest rated score and was selected to provide the requested services. Willdan Financial Services was established in 1988 and has worked with more than 800 public agencies including performing over 100 user fee studies, Office of Management & Budget (OMB) compliant and cost allocations plans in the past five years.

The City-wide CAP and User Fee Analysis project was initiated in March 2024, was a coordinated effort among all City departments and included numerous meetings between Willdan Financial Services and City Staff to review updates and provide feedback. The Fee Study Update (Fee Study) was completed at the end of November 2024 and is included as Attachment 2.

The Willdan Financial Services Fee Study was based on Fiscal Year (FY) 2023/24 budget data and computed estimated annual fee revenue based on FY 2023/24 projected units of service activity level. The methodology used to determine the recommended fees and the CAP is explained in the Executive Summary section of the Fee Study Update report.

The following chart summarizes the various cost recovery levels for fees and General Fund subsidies related to Development Services, such as Planning, Engineering, and Building; Public Safety Services, such as Fire Inspections; Recreation programs; I I

Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan

Business Registration; and Administrative fees.

Overall, Willdan Financial Services’ analysis indicates that the City can recover an additional $628,904 in cost recovery with the recommended fee changes. As expected, cost recovery levels varied between departments and programs. These fees are based on interviews with City department Staff. Staff from the various departments completed worksheets to fully allocate the Staff time necessary to complete an average project/permit. Willdan calculated the City’s budgeted costs for salary and benefits, maintenance and operations, and general and department overhead into a fully allocated hourly rate for each position in the City. The fully allocated hourly rate is then applied to the average time spent by each employee classification providing the service for each of the permits reviewed.

Appendix C of Attachment 2 titled “Cost Recovery Analysis” provides detailed tables with the results of fee study including the current fees (2024), full cost of recovery, subsidy rate (5) based on suggested fee, staff suggested fee, fee change ($) and fee change (%).

As a result of this work some new fees categories are proposed based on the discussions with City Staff on the permit processing or variations in project scope that may occur.

The Fee Study and proposed fees are being presented to the Budget and Finance Commission for their review and input at their January 13, 2025, meeting. The Commission has been asked to prepare a memorandum with their feedback (to be included as Attachment 3) for Council consideration.

Similar to what was proposed when the last comprehensive fee study was completed in 2018 and adopted in 2019, Staff is recommending that the schedule of fees be adjusted annually effective January 1st of each fiscal year based on the San Diego-Carlsbad CPI, All Items, for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) Index, not to exceed 2.5% annually, for the prior calendar year period June through May.

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council to conduct such analysis at least every five years to ensure fees are set appropriately to recover costs reasonably borne for providing services; and

3. Separate Fee for Each Process: All fees set forth by this resolution are for each identified process; additional fees shall be required for each additional process or service that is requested or required.

Where fees are indicated on a per unit of measurement basis the fee is for each identified unit or portion thereof within the indicated ranges of such units.

4. Added Fees and Refunds: Where additional fees need to be charged and collected for completed staff work, or where a refund of excess deposited monies is due, and where such charge or refund is ten dollars ($10.00) or less, a charge or refund need not be made, pursuant to California Government Code Section 29375.1 and amendments thereto.

5. Listing of Fees and Phase In: The attached list of fees shall be charged and collected for the enumerated services as scheduled.

based on the San Diego-Carlsbad CPI, All Items, for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) Index, not to exceed 2.5% annually, for the prior twelve month period June through May.

8. Adjustment to Impact Fees effective March 17, 2025: The Impact Fees were not included as part of this User Fee Study, these fees were adjusted as follows:

The San Diego-Carlsbad CPI, All Items, for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) Index, for the twelve-month period June 2022 through May 2023 is

11 Attachment A - Building Valuation Data
AUGUST 2024
The International Code Council is pleased to provide the following Building Valuation Data (BVD) for its members. The BVD will be updated at six-month intervals, with the next update in February 2025. ICC strongly recommends that all jurisdictions and other interested parties actively evaluate and assess the impact of this BVD table before utilizing it in their current code enforcement related activities.

The BVD table provides the “average” construction costs per square foot, which can be used in determining permit fees for a jurisdiction. Permit fee schedules are addressed in Section 109.2 of the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) whereas Section 109.3 addresses building permit valuations. The permit fees can be established by using the BVD table and a Permit Fee Multiplier, which is based on the total construction value within the jurisdiction for the past year. The Square Foot Construction Cost table presents factors that reflect relative value of one construction classification/occupancy group to another so that more expensive construction is assessed greater permit fees than less expensive construction.

ICC has developed this data to aid jurisdictions in determining permit fees. It is important to note that while this BVD table does determine an estimated value of a building (i.e., Gross Area x Square Foot Construction Cost), this data is only intended to assist jurisdictions in determining their permit fees. This data table is not intended to be used as an estimating guide because the data only reflects average costs and is not representative of specific construction.

This degree of precision is sufficient for the intended purpose, which is to help establish permit fees so as to fund code compliance activities. This BVD table provides jurisdictions with a simplified way to determine the estimated value of a building that does not rely on the permit applicant to determine the cost of construction. Therefore, the bidding process for a particular job and other associated factors do not affect the value of a building for determining the permit fee. Whether a specific project is bid at a cost above or below the computed value of construction does not affect the permit fee because the cost of related code enforcement activities is not directly affected by the bid process and results.

Building Valuation
The following building valuation data represents average valuations for most buildings. In conjunction with IBC Section 109.3, this data is offered as an aid for the building official to determine if the permit valuation is underestimated. Again it should be noted that, when using this data, these are “average” costs based on typical construction methods for each
occupancy group and type of construction. The average costs include foundation work, structural and nonstructural
building components, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and interior finish material. The data is a national average and does not take into account any regional cost differences. As such, the use of Regional Cost Modifiers is subject to the authority having jurisdiction.

Permit Fee Multiplier
Determine the Permit Fee Multiplier:

1. Based on historical records, determine the total annual construction value which has occurred within the
jurisdiction for the past year.

2. Determine the percentage (%) of the building
department budget expected to be provided by building
permit revenue.

3. Bldg. Dept. Budget x (%)
Permit Fee Multiplier =
Total Annual Construction Value
Example
The building department operates on a $300,000 budget, and it expects to cover 75 percent of that from building permit fees.

The total annual construction value which occurred within the jurisdiction in the previous year is $30,000,000.
$300,000 x 75%
Permit Fee Multiplier = = 0.0075
$30,000,000
Permit Fee
The permit fee is determined using the building gross area, the Square Foot Construction Cost and the Permit Fee Multiplier.

Permit Fee = Gross Area x Square Foot Construction Cost X Permit Fee Multiplier
Example
Type of Construction: IIB
Area: 1st story = 8,000 sq. ft.
2nd story = 8,000 sq. ft.

Height: 2 stories
Permit Fee Multiplier = 0.0075
Use Group: B

1. Gross area:

Business = 2 stories x 8,000 sq. ft. = 16,000 sq. ft.

2. Square Foot Construction Cost:

B/IIB = $260.46/sq. ft.

3. Permit Fee:

Business = 16,000 sq. ft. x $260.46/sq. ft x 0.0075
= $31,255
<<A-1>>
Important Points
• The BVD is not intended to apply to alterations or
repairs to existing buildings. Because the scope of
alterations or repairs to an existing building varies so greatly, the Square Foot Construction Costs table does
not reflect accurate values for that purpose. However,
the Square Foot Construction Costs table can be used
to determine the cost of an addition that is basically a stand-alone building which happens to be attached to
an existing building. In the case of such additions, the only alterations to the existing building would involve the attachment of the addition to the existing building and the openings between the addition and the existing
building.
• For purposes of establishing the Permit Fee Multiplier, the estimated total annual construction value for a given time period (1 year) is the sum of each building’s value (Gross Area x Square Foot Construction Cost) for that
time period (e.g., 1 year).
• The Square Foot Construction Cost does not include
the price of the land on which the building is built. The Square Foot Construction Cost takes into account
everything from foundation work to the roof structure
and coverings but does not include the price of the land.

The cost of the land does not affect the cost of related code enforcement activities and is not included in the
Square Foot Construction Cost.

1 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Executive Summary
The City of Solana Beach engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services. Appendix C details the full cost and suggested fees as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

2 Comprehensive User Fee Study
User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole (“User Fees”). As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have become increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery targets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private benefits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the government is using community funds to pay for private benefits. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have more control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.

Fees in California are required to conform to the statutory requirements of the California Constitution, Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of rendering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee. There are no fees suggested to be set above the cost of service and as such a public vote is not required.

California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, in times of fiscal shortages, California cities were able to raise property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the imposition of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a result, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Due to the thresholds needed to increase local taxes, cities have less control and very few successful options for new revenues.

The State of California took a series of actions in the 1990’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation, at the expense of local governments. In 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees further reduced local tax revenues.

In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus requiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seven categories of exceptions. The fees analyzed as part of a user fee study typically fall under categories one through five consisting of charges for specific benefits, government service, regulatory need, for use of government property, or a fine/penalty.
3 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Additional Policy Considerations
State regulations require that municipalities update their fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of certain public services primarily benefiting users. User fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government’s central service departments that are allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City’s cost allocation plan. A cost allocation plan identifies the central service functions of the City such as Finance, City Manager, and Human Resources and allocates their costs to the departments and funds of the City that they support. This plan was used in the user fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City to annually increase or decrease the fees by changes in a pre-approved inflationary index, as described below. However, such inflationary increases shall not exceed the reasonable estimated cost of providing the services each year.

The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “basket” of goods and services every year, the price deflators’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the primary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can also be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.

Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs but cannot rely solely on the CPI increase as it is incumbent upon each agency to ensure the amount of the fees charged does not exceeds the reasonable estimated costs of providing the services. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.
4 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Study Objective
As the City of Solana Beach seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A user fee study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes that a user fee Study is a very cost-effective way to understand the total cost of services and identify potential fee deficiencies. Essentially, a user fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.

The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.

The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
 Developing a rational basis for setting fees
 Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model  Ensuring compliance with State law
 Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees  Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.

Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of the user fees charged by the following Solana Beach departments and fee groups:
 Administrative Services
 Permit Registration Services
 Community Development - Planning
 Building
 Engineering
 Public Safety
 Community Services
5 Comprehensive User Fee Study
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.

Aim of the Report
The user fee study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff currently provide them at existing, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff level needs. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.

6 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a user fee study is to determine the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.

The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits (see Appendix B), but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
 Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Central service overhead costs allocated through the cost allocation plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.

Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.

The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee’s cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.
7 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Summary Steps of the Study
The process of the study is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:

Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, when combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A). Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
 Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
 Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function.  Central Services Overhead: These costs, as provided via the City’s cost allocation plan, represent services provided by those central services departments whose primary function is to support other City departments.

8 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Methodology
The two methods of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:

Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build-Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as-needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.

Program Cost Approach: In some instances, the underlying data is not available or varies widely, leaving a standard unit cost build-up approach impractical. In addition, market factors and policy concerns (as opposed to actual costs) tend to influence rental based fee levels more than other types of services. Willdan employed a different methodology where appropriate to fit a programs’ needs and goals. Typical programmatic approach cases are facility use fees, penalties, and instances where a program cost is divided over the user base to obtain a per applicant cost for shared cost services.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for user fee calculations include:
 Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
 Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
 Reasonableness tests and validation
 Internal and external reviews
 Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current fees
Within the fee tables in Appendix C, the differences are identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels less than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Staffing levels and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
 Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
 Costs that this study has identified as part of the full cost of services may not have been accounted for in a previous study
9 Comprehensive User Fee Study
o Departmental overhead and administration costs
o Indirect overhead from the cost allocation plan
 Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole  Changes in the demand for services in a City may have also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
 Budget and other cost data
 Staffing structures
 Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions  Direct and indirect work hours (billable/non-billable)  Time estimates to complete work tasks
 Review of draft results and other documentation
A user fee study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation. 10 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Solana Beach User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.

It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience of staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.

Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.

The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.

City staff assume the responsibility to develop specific recommendations to present to the City Council.

Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Solana Beach, and administrative and political discretion.

However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.

Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) who receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.

Further complicating the decision, opponents of fees often assert that the activities subject to the fees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City, but it is important to distinguish the difference between any purported possible benefits that may be conveyed through the result of activities of the service receiver and the direct benefit being conveyed through the City providing the service to the requestor.

It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels. 11 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool since it can be used to reduce fees to encourage certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsidies can be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as to allow citizens to rightfully access services, without overburdensome costs.

Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that subsidies must be covered by another revenue source, typically the General Fund’s other unrestricted funds.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditions may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.

Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff have reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by the City Council.

The following sections provide background for each department, division, and fee group and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report. 12 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Administrative Services
The City Clerk’s office is responsible for providing regulatory oversight as per the Government Code and state regulatory agencies as needed and required, including the Fair Political Practices Commission. The Clerk’s department records and archives the City Council legislative history into a document imaging system to assist in the research and retrieval process. The department also coordinates with City departments all official records of the City including the records maintenance schedule and destruction of outdated records.

The City Clerk acts as the City’s election official and administers all City elections. Other responsibilities include codifying the Municipal Code, certifying official documents, and administering oaths. The City Clerk’s department manages front desk operations including greeting, phones, receipting, mail, general information, and citywide / City Clerk administration.

The Finance Department maintains the financial records of the City, the Successor Agency and the former Solana Beach Redevelopment Agency. The Finance Department is responsible for managing its budget unit and the budgets for Support Services, Risk Management, Workers Compensation administration, Asset Replacement, Real Property Acquisition, and the OPEB Fund.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Administrative Services. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The services included in Administrative Services are a mixture of administrative citations, permit violation penalties, a document certification fee, agenda mailing services, tape reproduction fees, document copy fees, a verification of residency fee, notary public service, credit card convenience fee, technology surcharge, and a non-sufficient fund fee which is set by the State. The analysis relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that the Document Certification fee, Audio/Video Tape Reproduction fees, Annual Agenda Mailing Subscription fees, Document Print/Copy fees, and Verification of Residency fee are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested some increases as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 9 fees;
 1 fee would decrease;
 1 fee for Convert VHS to DVD would change to actual costs, and;  14 fees would remain as currently set.

Permit Registration Services
The Finance Department maintains the financial records of the City, the Successor Agency and the former Solana Beach Redevelopment Agency. The Finance Department is responsible for managing its budget unit and the budgets for Support Services, Risk Management, Workers Compensation administration, Asset Replacement, Real Property Acquisition, and the OPEB Fund.

The Code Compliance Division works with the residents and business owners to maintain the appearance and safety of the community and protect the quality of life through the diligent application of our City ordinances and land use regulations. Our officers are dedicated to work in partnership with all and to be responsive and solution-oriented. The City strives to promote and protect the welfare of the community to keep Solana Beach a safe, healthy and desirable place to live and work.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Permit Registration Services. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The services listed under Permit Registration Services consist of mostly flat cost-based fees. The analysis of the cost-based services relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence using staff time to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most of Permit Registration Services fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service and staff have suggested increases as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 31 fees;
 2 new fees for MTC Certified Massage Registrations would be added;  2 fees would decrease, and;
 2 fees would remain as currently set.

Community Development
The Planning Division administers and implements the City’s General Plan, zoning and subdivision regulations and special projects such as the Local Coastal Program/Land Use Plan. This division consists of planners and technical staff who manage the day-to-day development services for current planning projects, provides assistance to customers and also develops strategies for long range planning functions.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Community Development Planning Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Planning Division services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested increasing cost recovery of fees to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 39 fees;
 5 new fees to provide for modification to the development review permit processing fees  would be added, and;
 9 fees would remain as currently set.

15 Comprehensive User Fee Study
Building
The Building Division administers and implements the City’s Building, Health and Safety Codes in plan checking and issuance of building permits. Currently the City contracts with EsGil/Safebuilt to provide Building Division services.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Building Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of the Building Division services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most flat rate fees are currently set below the full cost of providing the service. Staff have suggested increasing fees to full cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C.

Included in the fees listed under Building are the Building Permit fees which are also provided by this division. For the Building Permit fees, valuation is used as a proxy for measuring the amount of effort needed to provide services on a case-by-case basis. This method is an industry standard widely used by other jurisdictions to evaluate the cost of providing service. It is generally understood that the larger and more complex a project is, the more time and effort that is required to provide code compliance services.

Project valuation also follows that trend, and so by using a combination of either project valuation or historical revenue figures along with a multiplier or cost recovery analysis for historical and anticipated future trends, current cost recovery along with variability in charges due to project type and scale is determined. The result of the cost analysis completed for the Building Permit program found that the program is currently operating at 72% cost recovery based on average annual activity levels from fiscal year 2022 to 2024. It is recommended that the fees be increased to full cost recovery.

As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 23 fees;
 8 fees would decrease, and;
 14 fees would remain as currently set.

Engineering
The Engineering Division includes engineering design, construction, environmental services, traffic engineering, land development reviews and sanitation. Engineering is responsible for all aspects of public and private improvements including streets, public facilities and parks, flood control and street lighting. It also provides engineering support to Council and Staff.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Engineering Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Engineering services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that some fees are currently not in line with the full cost of providing service. It is recommended that the City set Public Works fees adopt fees at full cost recovery for most services as detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 6 fees;
 16 new fee tiers for Grading Plan Check & Permit/Inspection and Public Improvement Plan Check & Permit/Inspection would be added, and;
 13 fees would remain as currently set.

Preventing and responding to calls for assistance from beachgoers, swimmers, surfers, and boaters.

The Marine Safety Department also conducts animal rescues, dive rescues and recovery, cliff rescues, and provides emergency medical assistance as needed.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with Public Safety. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Public Safety services relied primarily upon a standard unit cost build-up approach for fees, excluding penalties, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff time involved with providing the service to recover the direct cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that most fees are currently set below the full cost of providing service. Staff is recommending that the City set Public Safety fees at the levels detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 40 fees;
 7 fees would decrease;
 18 new fees primarily relating to State Mandated Inspections, and Fire Alarm Plan Checks & Inspections would be added, and;
 9 fees would remain as currently set.

Community Services
The Community Services division is responsible for providing various service-oriented activities which include the City’s Annual Street Banner program, production of the Weekly Update, management of the public art program, and coordination of City-sponsored community-wide events. In addition, the Community Services Department is directly responsible for providing programs and services to the community, including rental processing of La Colonia Field and Community Center and managing the Fletcher Cove Community Center for City programs, rentals and services; coordination of 30 City-sponsored special events; development of joint use agreements with local school districts and other organizations for facility use and program resources; contract management with the Boys & Girls Club for the City’s After School Enrichment Program; non-City-sponsored special event application administration; and Summer Youth Camps.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services associated with the Community Services division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of most Community Services programs encompassed facility rentals and other recreation services. The fee for use of government owned facilities and property can be set discretionally by the City per Proposition 26 to reduce the cost to the public for related facilities costs, and because there is market availability for facility use elsewhere. The cost of acquisition, maintenance, repair, and upgrade to the City and subsequently the community is partially offset by rental or use fee revenue. As such these fees should be set using the knowledge of activity use for the facilities, policy desires of the City, and market factors when desirable. It is generally accepted that many Recreation programs provide a measure of public benefit to the residents and City as a whole. In addition, cities generally want to ensure that their programs and services remain affordable to the community at large, and that the programs remain competitive with surrounding jurisdictions and private businesses. Therefore, full cost recovery is typically not the primary goal of fee setting. A time and cost analysis was performed on the fees in the schedule that could have direct staff involvement identified to determine the direct cost for each. An overall program cost analysis for Community Services was also performed and determined that the division is currently operating at around 29% cost recovery. Staff have suggested reasonable fee adjustments to the fee schedule, and they are detailed in Appendix C. As a result, there would be:
 An increase for 17 fees;
 2 fees for City Purchased Insurance would change to Premium Cost, and;  3 fees would remain as currently set.

For fees, services, and penalties in which the full cost, existing fee, and suggested fee is listed as “NA”, the amount or percentage was not calculable. This is most common when either the current or the suggested fee includes a variable component that is not comparable on a one-to-one basis, a full cost was not calculated (for penalties, fines, market-based fees, or items not included in the study), or when there is not a current fee amount to compare against.

Upon initial submittal to the City, permit fees based on valuations will be calculated using the most recent ICC Building Valuations Table. This will be the minimum fee charged for the permit. If upon a subsequent submittal, the valuation decreases, no refund based on the decreased valuation will be provided to the applicant. If the valuation increases, additional permit fees will be calculated based on the difference between the valuation used to calculate the minimum fee and the increased valuation. (Residential sub-division or tract development projects may have production units that are duplicates of the model units reduced to 30% of the permit fee)A Building Permit shall include only a single issuance fee if the permit has a combination of activities (i.e.: Building/Plumbing/Electrical/Mechanical.)Projects requiring plan revisions or having a new scope of work shall be charged a fee determined by using the current preferred hourly rate as established by EsGil Corporation.Expedited processing is only available for unusual circumstances as deemed appropriate by City Staff. Charges for expedited services shall be determined by using an hourly rate of two times the current preferred hourly rate as established by EsGil Corporation.Projects requiring special inspections or additional re-inspections shall be charged a fee determined by using the current preferred hourly rate as established by EsGil Corporation. 30 ENGINEERING SERVICES

Date: January 14, 2025
Subject: Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan The Budget and Finance Commission (“Commission”) of the City of Solana Beach reviewed and discussed the Comprehensive Fee Study and Cost Allocation Plan prepared by Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”). Based on these discussions, the Commission believes staff thoroughly analyzed the information provided in the study and developed a balanced and well thought out set of proposed fees for Council members to consider that would bridge the gap between the City’s cost of providing services and the fees collected.

Staff provided some history and context, including:
 The previous comprehensive fee study and cost allocation plan began in 2017 and was completed in 2018
 Discussed the overall objective of the City to seek reimbursement for the full cost of providing most services and limit the subsidy provided by the General Fund  Noted the proposed percentage increase in some services is large  Recognize some fees are set by state law or negotiated contracts with providers  As proposed, the City could recover about $600K of costs, effectively increasing the funds available for general government services
Staff was receptive to our questions and open in discussing the rationale for the proposed fees. The Commission noted that, while there may be a desire to not significantly raise some fees, that approach would effectively create a subsidy borne by the city taxpayers not using such services. The Commission has the following recommendations for Council members to consider:
 A City ordinance currently limits (after implementing fees from the Comprehensive Fee Study) the maximum annual CPI fee increase at 2.5%. The Commission recommends seeking to modify the ordinance to allow the City to annually increase fees up to an appropriate inflation factor. This would help reduce any subsidy provided by the General Fund between comprehensive fee studies.
 For any new service, we recommend the City develop a formal process to determine the cost of a new service and set fees accordingly.  Seek backup data from Willdan on assumptions regarding the number of permits issued for each of the fees.
 Going forward, staff should track the number of permits issued as well as the associated costs to help staff to fully analyze the data and ensure the City is pricing the services it provides appropriately.

The Commission recognizes the significant staff time involved in completing a fee study.

Subject to an annual fee analysis demonstrating fees reasonably tracking as planned, the Commission recommends the City conduct a fee study every five years.

We enjoy working with Rachel, Kristine and Alyssa and appreciate not only their patience entertaining all of our questions Commission members have but also helping us better understand the overall picture of the City’s financial position.

STAFF REPORT

CITY OF SOLANA BEACH
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Alyssa Muto, City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2025
ORIGINATING DEPT: Community Development Department
SUBJECT: Public Hearing: DRP/SDP for Mixed-Use Building at 701 Valley Avenue (Case #: DRP22-010, SDP22-008; Applicant:

Daniel Witcher and Jouet Peterson; APN: 298-131-14-00;
Resolution No. 2024-120)
BACKGROUND:

The Applicants, Daniel Witcher and Jouet Peterson, are requesting City Council (Council) approval of a Development Review Permit (DRP) and Structure Development Permit (SDP) to demolish a single-story, single-family residence to construct a threestory, mixed-use development consisting of one (1) dental office, three (3) residential units, and a parking garage. The 10,064 square foot lot is located at 701 Valley Avenue and is located within the Commercial (C) Zone.

The Applicants propose to construct an 11,343 square foot mixed-use building consisting of 2,768 square feet of dental office; two residential studio units and one three-bedroom residential unit, totaling 2,984 square feet; and a two-level parking garage totaling 10,781 square feet, 6,005 square feet of which is subterranean. The proposed development includes grading in the amount of 2,255 cubic yards (CY) aggregate. The tallest point of the structure is proposed at 35 feet, or 63.65 above mean sea level (MSL). The project requires a DRP for 1) new commercial development in a commercial zone, and 2) aggregate grading that exceeds 100 CY. An SDP is required for construction in excess of 16 feet in height as measured from the existing grade.

The issue before the Council is whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the Applicant’s request as contained in Resolution 2024-120 (Attachment 1).

DISCUSSION:

The subject property is located on the west side of Valley Avenue, adjacent to La Colonia Park. The lot is rectangular in shape with approximately 47 feet of frontage January 15, 2025
DRP 22-010, SDP 22-008

along Valley Avenue, southern and northern property lines of approximately 210 feet, and a western property line of approximately 48 feet. A drainage channel runs north to south through the westernmost portion of the lot. The lot is relatively flat aside from a dip of approximately one foot towards the center. Properties to the north, east and west are located within the C Zone and developed with office and commercial retail businesses. The property to the south is located within the Open Space Recreation (OSR) and developed with a public park (La Colonia Park). The property is currently developed with a single-story, single-family residence and a detached garage and shed, which will be demolished should the proposed project receive approval.

The Applicants propose to construct a new mixed-use development consisting of the following:
• 2,768 square feet of commercial dental office space
• Three (3) multi-family residential units totaling 2,984 square feet • Two (2) parking levels, one street level (12 spaces) and one subterranean level (10 spaces), totaling 10,781 square feet
• Roof deck (785 square feet)
• Courtyard
• Water feature
• Landscape and hardscape
The commercial dental office space would be located on the eastern half of the second floor. The two studio units (739 square feet each) would be located on the western half of the second floor, and the three-bedroom residential unit (1,506 square feet) would be located on the western half of the third floor. The proposed floor area ratio (FAR) would be 1.17, or 11,343 square feet, not counting the subterranean parking level.

Parking for the proposed project would be provided in a two-level parking garage, one level of which would be subterranean. A curb cut located in the southwest corner of the property would provide vehicular access to the street-level parking garage level and the subterranean parking garage level below, via Valley Avenue. A total of 22 parking spaces are required for the project, including 4 for the residential use and 18 for the commercial use. The proposed parking garage provides a total of 22 parking spaces, including 1 accessible space as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design.

In order to construct the proposed Project, the Applicants are requesting that the Council consider approval of a DRP and SDP. A DRP is required for the following reasons: 1) new commercial development or construction located within any commercial zone resulting in more than 500 square feet; and 2) grading in excess of 100 cubic yards. An SDP is required because the proposed structure will exceed 16 feet in height as measured from the existing grade.

As shown, the project meets the required setbacks listed in SBMC Table 17.24.030-B.

The project also complies with the SBMC regulations for the maximum building height, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and density.

Resolution 2024-120 (Attachment 2) provides the full text of the pertinent regulations for the DRP and SDP and Staff has prepared draft findings of approval of the DRP and SDP for the Project for Council’s consideration based upon the information provided in this Staff Report. The Council may direct Staff to modify any of the Resolution to reflect the findings and conditions it deems appropriate as a part of the public hearing process.

The following is a discussion of the findings for a DRP and SDP as each applies to the proposed project, as well as a discussion of the development plans and recommended conditions as contained in the attached Resolution 2024-120.

Development Review Permit Compliance (SBMC Section 17.68.040):

A DRP is required for new commercial development in a commercial zone and that includes more than an aggregate total of 100 cubic yards of grading (SBMC Section

17.68.040). The project design includes grading in the amount of 2,255 cubic yards.

In addition to meeting zoning requirements, the project must also be found in compliance with development review criteria. The following is a list of the development review criteria topics:

1. Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses

2. Building and Structure Placement

3. Landscaping

4. Roads, Pedestrian Walkways, Parking, and Storage Areas

5. Grading

6. Lighting

7. Usable Open Space
The Council may approve, or conditionally approve, a DRP only if all of the findings listed below can be made. Resolution 2024-120 (Attachment 1) provides full discussion of the findings.

1. The proposed development is consistent with the general plan and all applicable requirements of the zoning ordinance including special regulations, overlay zones, and specific plans.

2. The proposed development complies with the development review criteria.

3. All required permits and approvals issued by the city, including variances, conditional use permits, comprehensive sign plans, and coastal development permits have been obtained prior to or concurrently with the development review permit.

4. If the development project also requires a permit or approval to be issued by a state or federal agency, the city council may conditionally approve the development review permit upon the applicant obtaining the required permit or approval from the other agency.

If the above findings cannot be made, the Council shall deny the DRP.

In addition to meeting zoning requirements, the project must also be found in compliance with the development review criteria. The following is a discussion of the applicable development review criteria as they relate to the proposed project.

Relationship with Adjacent Land Uses:

The subject property is located within the General Commercial (C) Zone. The property is not located within any of the City’s Specific Plan areas; however, it is located within the Coastal Zone. As a condition of project approval, the Applicants will be required to obtain a Coastal Development Permit, Waiver, or Exemption from the California Coastal Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit.

Surrounding properties to the north, east and west are also located within the C Zone.

The property to the north is developed with a three-story commercial building, and atgrade parking lot. The properties to the east, across Valley Avenue, are developed with multi-family residences. The property to the west is undeveloped. The property immediately south of the subject site is zoned Open Space Recreation (OSR) and is developed with a park (La Colonia Park).

The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, which designates the property as General Commercial (C) and allows for commercial development that would involve resident and visitor serving commercial uses and retail uses that have a minimal disturbance to nearby residential neighborhoods. Residential uses are allowed as a secondary use in conjunction with permitted commercial uses at a maximum density of 20 units per acre. The project could be found to be consistent with the following General Plan Policies:

Policy LU-1.6 Encourage the establishment of mixed-uses that provide for housing and jobs near transit routes, shopping areas, and recreational uses to promote public transit use, walking, and biking.

Policy LU-1.8 Within mixed-use areas, encourage an overall high quality streetscape design, where feasible and appropriate, that includes bike lanes; on-street parking; minimal curb cuts; enhanced crosswalks; appropriate sidewalk widths; parkways; street trees, planters, and wells; street lighting; street furniture; wayfinding; kiosks; enhanced paving; public art; and other features that contribute to the character of Solana Beach.

The project could be found to be consistent with the following General Plan goals and programs in the City’s Housing Element:

Goal 1.0: The adequate provision of a range of safe and decent housing opportunities that will meet Solana Beach’s share of the existing and future housing needs of the region.

Goal 2.0: Maintenance, preservation, and enhancement of community and neighborhood character and the quality of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas.

Program 1: Encourage mixed-use development.

The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the permitted uses for the General Commercial (C) Zone found in SBMC Sections 17.24.020 and 17.24.030 which allows for a maximum of 20 dwelling units per net acre. The maximum number of units is determined by multiplying the net acreage of the lot by the maximum dwelling unit density permitted for the zone. The lot is 9,173 square feet or 0.21 acres. Therefore,

0.21 acres X 20 dwelling units per acre = 4.21 units. The proposed project is proposing three (3) residential units.

The C Zone indicates that residential units shall be permitted only on the upper floors, basement and rear 50% of the ground floor. As designed, the residential units will be located on the second and third floors.

No adverse effects upon neighboring properties have been identified or are anticipated to occur from the project implementation. As conditioned, the proposed project gives consideration to the protection of surrounding areas from potential adverse effects and provides protection of the property from adverse surrounding influences such as negative impacts of light, air, and noise.

Building and Structure Placement:

The proposed development includes one three-story, mixed-use building, including a two-story parking garage, comprised of a grade-level parking floor and a subterranean level parking floor. A curb cut located in the southwest corner of the property would provide vehicular access from Valley Avenue to the street-level parking garage level and the subterranean parking garage level below.

The 2,768 square foot commercial dental office would be located on the east side of the second floor. The commercial suite is accessed from the parking garage by a private elevator. The suite can also be accessed from the stairwell and at-grade exit corridor via Valley Avenue. The building does not exceed two stories on the eastern half, instead there is a 785 square foot roof deck above the commercial dental office intended for residential use. The development standards for mixed use development in the C Zone do not require a minimum setback from Valley Avenue, however, the Applicants January 15, 2025
