PUBLIC COMMENT
Maria Rusconi said she likes all the improvements the City has made to improve vehicle traffic and pedestrian safety. She would like to see improvements for East and Market Streets, as vehicles stick out, which is dangerous. Also, the roundabout and the MST stop are in that area, and the cars are protruding out, which makes things dangerous for pedestrians. She would also like the MST route to be positioned closer to the seniors' area because it is a very long walk for our seniors.

Soledad Cemetery Board Vice President John Ordunezsaid he is happy with the outcome of the Memorial Day Ceremony that took place at the Soledad Cemetery. He would also like to ensure that something is 9 City of Soledad City Council/Successor Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2025

Agha Development Senior Vice President Laith Agha added further information and details.

Councilmember Caldera asked City Manager Hunter if this was a project the City should move forward with.

City Manager Hunter said the staff's recommendation is to move forward because the twenty-four units are not deed restricted, have no resale restriction, and could be sold at market rate after the initial sale. 12 City of Soledad City Council/Successor Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2025

Page 5 of 8 ends

Because of this, these units do not really add to the City’s pool of affordable housing. According to State law related to the City’s housing element, those units could be counted when they are first built; however, as they are sold, the City would lose the affordability restriction and would have to remove them in the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) count in future annual reports. Under the new proposal, the City would be able to restrict future units and add to the number of affordable units the City is trying to achieve for RHNA.

Staff apologized that the report failed to provide information about the lien on title preventing the transfer of the multi-family parcel to Eden Housing for affordable housing. They were unaware of the lien until Eden Housing was asked for a status update on the transfer on Monday, June 2nd.

Councilmember Ansaldo-Sanchez said he did not have adequate time to consider moving forward. The other cities listed are not similar to the City of Soledad and are not good examples. There are many things he does not understand about this proposal.

City Manager Hunter said the city's best tool to facilitate housing development is land. The city is not a developer but is a facilitator. The city is not a developer, but would reach out to qualified, interested developers. To encourage the development of affordable housing, the city can offer the land for free. This cuts costs for building housing, and having land control and available land is a good incentive for developers.

Agha Development Senior Vice President Laith Agha added further information regarding the item.

Councilmember Banuelos recognized that Soledad is unique in its growth. She thanked staff for the examples. If the project moves forward, she would like the residents of Soledad to have priority for the future homes.

City Manager Hunter said the City has established a Down Payment Assistant Program, which is another incentive for housing builders to partner with the City because the City offers assistance to home buyers.

Mayor Pro Tem Cabrera said that he is considering the whole Community of Soledad, and if this project is not moved forward today, when will this opportunity come up again? After reviewing everything and listening to all the information, he is inclined to approve this project to move forward.

Councilmember Ansaldo-Sanchez asked for clarification; if the council does not approve the in-lieu fees, will the city lose the low-income housing.

Mayor Velazquez asked why HMBY would not be held accountable for fulfilling the First Amendment of the Affordable Housing Plan, which included Eden Housing development and land transfer. That should not be contingent upon the in-lieu fees.

City Attorney Mike Rodriquez said that for financing purposes, Eden Housing is in the process of applying for tax credits, and they would need to be ready to take action within 180 days. The low and very-low housing is not dependent on the moderate homes. If the Second Amendment does not get approved, the First Amendment is still in place. However, if the developer decides this is not right for them, they are not obligated to move forward.

Mayor Velazquez said that whether this project is moved forward or not, the City will not lose the forty units.
13 City of Soledad City Council/Successor Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2025

Page 6 of 8 ends

Agha Development Senior Vice President Laith Agha said there is a loan on the project that covers everything. The bank will not release that parcel until it is paid off. That parcel cannot be transferred to Eden Housing until the bank loan is paid. If the project moves forward, the bank will get paid off, the builder will be happy, and the parcel will be passed on to Eden Housing.

Mayor Velazquez said that under the First Amendment of the Affordable Housing Plan, the developer is still responsible for transferring the property. The lots were left over from 25 years ago, and when the development was done 25 years ago, no affordable housing was completed. Investments and gains have already been made from this land. The units should have been built 20 years ago. Many people come from other cities because the homes are still affordable in Soledad, but the city negotiated that the residents and workforce in Soledad would have priority. She would like to request more information about the financial feasibility analysis to show what a reasonable in lieu-fee would be. She would also like to have a third-party, unbiased opinion about the proposal.

City Manager Hunter said that staff did come to the council two weeks ago, and the council seemed open to the in-lieu fee of between $20,000 to $25,000. After hearing from the council, staff moved forward with looking into the council’s recommendation and pulled information to see if this was a reasonable inlieu proposal. Based on the staff’s analysis, the proposal was consistent with similar in lieu fees in the region.

Mayor Pro Tem Cabrera asked for clarity on what is being voted on.

City Manager Hunter said there are three options. Staff recommends that one moderate unit would be built with a resale restriction, and an in-lieu of payment of $20,000 for the twenty-three units that were not build would be provided, and the land dedication in Parcel B, which is 15,950 sq ft. The three options are: 1. Move forward with staff’s recommendation, 2. Modify the in-lieu fee up to $25,000 per unit, or 3.

Reject the proposed in-lieu plan and provide an alternative.

Motion: Mayor Pro Tem Cabrera motioned to approve Resolution No. 6242 and move forward with option number two, to modify the in-lieu plan for $25,000. Motion was seconded by Councilmember Banuelos and carried by the following vote:

Action
Ayes: Cabrera, Banuelos, Caldera
Noes: Ansaldo-Sanchez, Velazquez
Abstain: None

Absent: None
City Manager Hunter added that the City will be developing an in-lieu plan for the housing development and would like to work with the Housing Subcommittee. At some point, an update will be brought to the council
Mayor Velazquez agrees that an in-lieu plan should be developed. She feels it is not okay for the Council to continue negotiating on exceptions. She hopes the owner of Miramonte is committed to building on what is agreed upon. The housing needs are not negotiable.

Councilmember Ansaldo-Sanchez said he is disappointed in the vote and hopes future negotiations will include all the information.

Councilmember Banuelos feels strongly that the Soledad residents should have priority in purchasing. 14 City of Soledad City Council/Successor Agency Regular Meeting Minutes of June 4, 2025

Page 7 of 8 ends

Councilmember Caldera believes this is a good move and feels it is a good time to move forward.

City Attorney Mike Rodriquez clarified the motion and said the modification would be made to the contract.

FROM: Beatriz Trujillo, Community and Economic Development Director and Ariana Mora, Senior Planner
MEETING DATE: June 18, 2025

CITY OF SOLEDAD

STAFF REPORT
THROUGH: Megan Hunter, City Manager
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council of the City of Soledad adopt:

1. Resolution No. 6246, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving a NonExclusive Professional Service Agreement with 4LEAF Inc. in an Amount not to Exceed $110,000 for Plan Review, Inspection, Building Official, and Related Services, Upon Approval of the FY 25/26 Budget, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Agreement.”

2. Resolution No. 6247, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Soledad Approving a NonExclusive Professional Service Agreement with CSG Consultants Inc. in an Amount not to Exceed $100,000 for Technical Building and Planning Division Services for Special Projects Upon Approval of the FY 25/26 Budget, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Said Agreement.”
Executive Summary
Since 2011, the Community and Economic Development Department has contracted with the same 43 Since 2011, the Community and Economic Development Department has contracted with the same consulting firm to provide building division services in Soledad under an annually extended agreement.

These services include building and fire plan reviews, inspections, structural engineering, and stormwater compliance. To ensure compliance with procurement regulations and to evaluate alternative service providers, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) from May 16 to May 30, 2025. The RFP process resulted in four proposals, which were carefully reviewed and evaluated through interviews. Following this evaluation, Staff identified two firms as highly qualified: 4LEAF, Inc. and CSG Consultants, Inc. Staff recommends entering into a contract with 4LEAF, Inc. to provide ongoing plan review and inspection services, as well as the services of a Building Official. Additionally, Staff recommends contracting with CSG Consultants, Inc. to provide planning services and support for building and construction management on special projects.

Background
The City of Soledad has contracted with CSG Consultants Inc. since 2011 to provide Building Official services, along with associated plan review and inspection functions. Over time, the scope of work has expanded to include a contract City Building Official, civil plan review, stormwater compliance, and oversight of planning activities. Despite the essential nature of these services, the City had not conducted a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) process for their continuation.

To align with best practices and comply with applicable Government Code requirements, on June 19, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2 to the CSG contract, extending the agreement through June 30, 2025, under the condition that staff would issue an RFP and select a firm through a competitive process to provide similar services starting July 1, 2025.

Review & Analysis
The City issued a formal RFP from May 16 to May 30, 2025, seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive Building Division services. These services include building and fire plan checks, inspections, structural engineering, a contract City Building Official, and, if needed, planning and code enforcement support. The RFP process yielded four responsive proposals from:
4LEAF Inc.

CSG Consultants
SCA (Shums Coda Associates)
Bureau Veritas
Each firm demonstrated experience in municipal building division services and currently works with cities of similar size and scale throughout California. Staff conducted 30-minute interviews on June 6, 2025, with each firm to evaluate qualifications, staffing capacity, plan review processes, and fee structures. Proposals were reviewed and scored independently based on predefined evaluation criteria.

Following a thorough evaluation of all submitted proposals, 4LEAF Inc. and CSG Consultant Inc. have been identified as the most qualified and cost-effective providers. 4LEAF Inc. offers a robust project management platform and a well-established quality assurance workflow, both of which will enhance efficiency in processing applications. Their proposed scope 44 includes building and fire plan review, building inspection, structural engineering review, and fire inspection services. Staff recommends awarding a one-year, non-exclusive agreement to 4LEAF Inc., effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026 to provide regular plan review and inspections and the services of a Building Official.

CSG Consultants, Inc. currently provides the City with Building Official and inspection services. The assigned Building Official is locally based, brings valuable expertise, and has played a key role in overseeing several critical construction projects. The City wishes to retain his support to assist with project management and to ensure the successful closeout of projects already underway. Additionally, the City has been utilizing a CSG planning consultant on several major economic development initiatives. Given the consultant’s experience and the importance of these projects, the City intends to continue these planning services. To support continuity and ensure the successful completion of ongoing efforts, the City proposes entering into a one-year, non-exclusive agreement with CSG Consultants, Inc., effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The selected firms will provide support to the Community and Economic Development Department. To ensure efficient service delivery and prevent duplication of efforts, the Community and Economic Development Director and Senior Planner will actively oversee consultant work assignments and coordinate tasks between the firms as needed. Any additional services beyond the scope of the original agreements will require a formal contract amendment, subject to review and approval by the City Council.

Financial Considerations
Building permit and plan review fees collected by the City are used to fund contracted building division services. For Fiscal Year 2025–2026, the City has allocated $210,000 in the budget for these services.

The proposed contract awards—$110,000 to 4LEAF, Inc. and $100,000 to CSG Consultants, Inc.—fall within this approved budget. The Community and Economic Development Department will closely monitor monthly expenditures and permit-related revenue to ensure that contract costs remain in alignment with fee-based revenue collection throughout the fiscal year.

Alternatives
Do not approve Resolution No. 6246, awarding 4LEAF Inc., and Resolution No. 6247, awarding CSG Consultants Inc.

Choose an alternate firm for the award with the required findings.

Do not move forward with any proposal and re-advertise the Request for Proposal. This is not recommended as the contract with CSG for critical building service expires on June 30, 2025, and any service break would delay permitting.

Planning/CEQA
The approval of a contract for professional services is not a project under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378(b)(5), as it involves administrative activities that do not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

Public Notice Requirements
None required.

Certificates of insurance shall show the signature of a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf.

If the Certificate of Insurance refers to the policy and it is necessary as a reference, then the City will reserve the right to require complete copies of all required insurance policies at any time.

Section 5. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONSULTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES.

To the full extent permitted by law, 4Leaf Inc. shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Owner, its governing body, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, attorney fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, “Liability”) arising out of, pertaining to, or relating to the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct of Engineer in the performance of this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the active negligence, sole negligence or willful misconduct of Owner. This indemnification obligation is not limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages or compensation payable to or for Engineer or its agents or employees under Workers’ Compensation acts, disability benefits acts, or other employee benefit acts. This indemnification obligation is not limited by any limitation on the amount or type of damages available under any applicable insurance coverage and shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement with respect to Liability arising during the term of the Agreement.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days, to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

With respect to third party claims against the Consultant, the Consultant waives any and all rights of any type to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of consultant to indemnify shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

In the event that Consultant or any employee, agent, or subcontractor of Consultant providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.

updates so that projects can be followed from start
to finish. Additionally, 4LEAF provides electronically

QA/QC Review Process
Task 1 – Project Tracking Set-up
The first step of our process will be to set up the project in our system to enable 4LEAF and the City each to track the progress of the review. Our plan tracking procedures are designed to track each submittal throughout the review process and maintain accurate and comprehensive records for each submittal.

Task 2 - Complete Submittal Review
Upon receiving the plans from the City, 4LEAF will triage (preliminary plan review performed by 4LEAF plan review project lead) the submittal to verify that the submittal received is complete (i.e., all pertinent plans, calculations, reports, and other related documents) in order that we can begin our review. If the submitted package is incomplete, we will communicate with the City to discuss the deficient documents needed to proceed with our review.

Task 3 - Plan Review Assignment
After the triage process is performed and a complete package is verified, the project will be assigned to the most qualified Plans Examiner and a turnaround time will be established. We will log each application into our database the same day the plans are received to assure that they are routed in a timely manner and to allow for daily project tracking.

Task 4 - Plan Review
4LEAF will provide the project contact (Developer, Contractor, Architect, or Engineer) desired by the City with a list of any items needing correction and clarification to comply with applicable building codes, ordinances, and regulations. A correction list will be created based on the missing codes and ordinances.

Task 5 - Quality Control
Prior to submitting the plan review correction list to the City, the designated plan review project lead will review the correction list for adherence to applicable codes and ordinances as well as for accuracy and completeness.

After completion of our quality control review a correction list will be e-mailed to a designated staff member at the City or as directed by the City. The correction list and a 4LEAF transmittal form will include the following information: a description of the work, type of construction, occupancy group, square footage, number of floors, and sprinkler requirements.

Task 6 - Plan Review Rechecks
Plans received for rechecks will be reviewed for conformance. Our goal is to actively work with the designers to resolve all unresolved issues after our second review. If it appears that there are complicated issues that might cause a project to go beyond our second review, we will communicate directly with the designer to resolve these concerns.

Task 7 - Project Approval
Once the final plan reviews are completed and ready for approval, 4LEAF will organize the plans and supporting documents per the City processing requirements and return them to the City, along with our letter of completion.

Document Control
When plans and documents are received for review, 4LEAF’s Plan Review Manager and Document Control Technician
analyze the project, creates a job number, and completes a Job Setup Sheet. This form highlights both the jurisdiction, applicable contact information, and all project specific design criteria and notes. Jobs are then transmitted through 4LEAF’s easily accessed EZPlan Review Portal which tracks initial and subsequent reviews and is open for view by the client. The City and their customers can view 4LEAF’s plan review control log through 4LEAF’s EZPlan Review Portal. 93 Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 23 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Plans then get distributed for review to a 4LEAF team consisting of Plan Review Engineers, Architect (a licensed state professional) and/or an ICC Certified Plans Examiner, as applicable. Our staff then performs his or her function of analyzing the plans and documentation for effective conformance to the state codes, referenced construction standards, and City amendments. 4LEAF’s code review methodology is “The Effective Use of the Codes” reinforced through proprietary and jurisdictional checklists. When complete, the Plan Review Manager overviews the project for quality control purposes and forwards comments or approvals to the client’s predesignated contacts.

On- and Off-Site Review
4LEAF can supply Registered Professional Engineers to the City to work on-site performing structural plan review and non-structural reviews at the jurisdiction’s discretion. Our experience includes checking for compliance with the structural, life-safety, accessibility, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire, and local codes/ordinances.

Off-Site Electronic Plan Review
Digital plan review allows 4LEAF the ability to review, markup and transport plans of any size electronically. We strongly encourage this service for our clients. This process delivers a high degree of cost effectiveness, time efficiency and a “green” and environmentally friendly system. Through our strong focus on utilizing this digital capability, we offer full access to all 4LEAF engineers and plans examiners company-wide, from any of our office locations. A protected online portal will be established to allow property owners, contractors, developers, businesses, designers, and stakeholders to submit plans electronically for review. Access to the online portal will be given to City staff for immediate access to information regarding project status during the review process. 4LEAF has successfully implemented and used Bluebeam for electronic review of files to help eliminate the use of paper and take the plan review workflow to a whole new level. 4LEAF’s offices are equipped with large scale monitors for easy review of plans. Bluebeam Revu combines powerful PDF editing, markup, and collaboration technology with reliable file creation. Bluebeam integrates flawlessly with our Green Line approach for electronic and timely turnarounds resulting in permit issuance within 5-7 business days.

Process Mapping
4LEAF aims to bring departmental processes together by identifying and eliminating obstacles to streamline processes. Our subject-matter experts visit each department within a jurisdiction to conduct an analysis of existing processes, identify how best to streamline separate departmental processes to improve workflow, and provide guidance and recommendations on an improved work plan. 4LEAF implementation staff work both onand off-site during this process and offer extensive training to existing municipal staff members on the use of a jurisdiction’s preferred permitting software.

Additional Technologies
Having served more than 400 jurisdictions, 4LEAF and our staff are knowledgeable and have experience working with a variety of different technologies for Electronic Plan Review, Permit Tracking, and Building Inspections. 4LEAF’s experience with tracking technologies includes, but is not limited to:

Innovative technology allows every piece of information collected on a project to be accessible by all staff as every inspection report is stored securely and safely in the cloud. The information can be accessed through a user’s web account where any inspection report can be viewed, and reports can be ran using stored project data. With inspection technology, 4LEAF inspectors are able to leave detailed notes under the inspections and observations box and instantaneously attach pictures to reports to show the items inspected. By means of an iPad, inspectors sign reports using a mobile signature block and attached pictures of the item inspected that were taken using the iPad.

102

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 32 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Inspections
4LEAF can provide certified and qualified staff to perform inspections in a lawful manner that respects the reasonable expectations of privacy and security of residents and their properties. Inspections conducted will determine if conditions on the properties are compliant with applicable sections of the current editions of the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), Municipal Code, Zoning Code, California Health and Safety Codes, Uniform Housing Code, Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Building, CA Residential Code, CA Building Code, and trade codes.

Short-Term Rental Programs
One of the fastest-growing programs within Code Enforcement Divisions is short-term rentals. 4LEAF assists with compliance with municipal short-term rental ordinances that require property owners to adhere to several rules, including limiting the number of daytime and overnight guests, prohibiting events and amplified sound, and posting specific rules and emergency information, among others. Short-term rentals are presenting challenges within our communities. While these rentals offer unique opportunities for travelers and hosts, they have also brought forth various concerns that warrant immediate attention. Housing availability, neighborhood dynamics, and safety considerations have raised valid apprehensions among residents. 4LEAF understands these issues and is pleased to present a comprehensive scope of services designed to regulate short-term rentals effectively, fostering a harmonious coexistence for all stakeholders involved. Our proposed solution encompasses meticulous research, the development of fair regulations, stringent compliance inspections, and a robust enforcement system to address illegal postings and operations. With these measures in place, we can resolve the prevailing issues and create a sustainable short-term rental ecosystem that benefits the entire community. We look forward to collaborating with you all in implementing this solution and achieving a positive and lasting impact on our neighborhoods. These are scopes of services that we provide, including but not limited to:
103

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 33 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025

1. Research and Analysis: Conducting a thorough study of the local short-term rental market is crucial to understanding the current landscape and potential impact on the community. This data-driven approach enables your jurisdiction to make informed decisions and design effective regulations tailored to your specific needs.

2. Developing Regulations and Policies: Developing clear and well-defined regulations is essential for creating a level playing field for all short-term rental operators. These policies help establish guidelines, standards, and boundaries that ensure the industry operates responsibly, benefiting both residents and hosts alike.

3. Licensing and Registration: Implementing a licensing and registration system ensures that only eligible and responsible operators are allowed to offer short-term rentals. This process helps your jurisdiction track and communicate with operators, making it easier to enforce regulations and ensure compliance with safety and tax requirements.

4. Compliance Inspections: Regular compliance inspections are vital to guarantee the safety and quality of shortterm rental properties. By verifying adherence to regulations, your jurisdiction can maintain community safety, prevent potential hazards, and protect the rights of both guests and neighbors.

5. Enforcement and Penalties: A robust enforcement mechanism, including penalties for non-compliant operators, serves as a deterrent against illegal or irresponsible practices. By imposing consequences for violations, authorities can discourage unlawful behavior and encourage operators to adhere to the established regulations.

6. Data Monitoring and Reporting: Implementing or ensuring that proper documentation is completed is standard operating procedure for 4LEAF. A proper data monitoring system provides insights into the shortterm rental market's impact on housing and the local economy. It enables evidence-based decision-making, helping your jurisdiction adjust regulations if necessary and fostering transparency in the regulatory process.

7. Public Awareness and Education: Public awareness campaigns educate both short-term rental operators and residents about their respective rights and responsibilities. By promoting best practices and addressing concerns, these campaigns foster a sense of community understanding and cooperation, reducing potential conflicts.

8. Collaborative Partnerships: Partnering with short-term rental platforms and law enforcement agencies fosters cooperation and facilitates compliance. Data sharing and joint efforts between these stakeholders help streamline the enforcement process and address challenges more effectively.

9. Complaint Resolution: a complaint resolution empowers residents to report issues and complaints related to short-term rentals. Swift and fair resolution of complaints helps maintain harmony within the community and ensures that any problems are addressed promptly.

10. Periodic Review: Regularly reviewing and updating regulations allows your jurisdiction to keep pace with changes in the short-term rental industry and adapt to new challenges or opportunities. This flexibility ensures that the regulatory framework remains relevant and effective in achieving its intended goals. 104

Lead Abatement
Although lead-based legislation has been around since the 1950s, nationwide regulation was not enforced until 1971 with the introduced of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (LBPPPA), which prohibited the use of leadbased paint in residential structures constructed or rehabilitated by the Federal government or with Federal assistance. In 1973, an amendment to the LBPPPA stated that lead-based paint should be removed from pre-1950 housing and structures. Our Code Enforcement team follows the requirements set forth by the State of California to ensure proper lead safe practices are taking place in removal of lead-based paint to protect citizens from exposure.

Additionally, our team participated at the National Healthy Homes Conference in 2022 in Baltimore, MD, where we spoke on the importance of Code Enforcement for Lead Paint Abatement Programs to safeguard communities.

Massage Parlor Enforcement
This scope can often be utilized for undercover stings with partnering agencies for businesses that not only violate criminal laws but also building code violations, licensing requirements, and potential massage parlor ordinances in the City. Early detection is vital in these cases and steps include background checks and other reasonable means of identification and clearances. Our team has championed programs specializing in identifying and mitigating illegal actions in massage parlors.

Parking Enforcement
4LEAF has the capabilities of providing parking enforcement. This includes:
o Enforcement of state and municipal parking regulations. o Removal of abandoned and nuisance vehicles from the public right-of-way. o Issuance of parking citations and review of contested citations.

Policy Review
4LEAF shall review and read current policies and procedures and define policy clearly to set the tone for your municipality’s Code Enforcement Program.

Program Analysis
4LEAF understands that Code Enforcement is an essential part of a community’s public health and safety, providing a regulatory mechanism to ensure the public’s overall wellbeing.

o Provide guidance for resolution of existing cases.
o Provide in-house and/or field training of traditional Code Enforcement protocols. o Create an outreach plan to address and deter unpermitted vending/commercial corridor violations.

Program Development
4LEAF project managers have experience in working collaboratively with clients to further develop and enhance their Code Enforcement Program when requested. Our project managers are currently working with local jurisdictions to revise and strengthen Code Enforcement Programs to gain voluntary compliance, provide resident education, and effectively communicate with the public. 4LEAF staff takes an approach in recommending, implementing, and executing program assessments, creation of policies and procedures, creation of training manuals for new hires, providing educational materials for the public, providing staff with up-to-date training, teaching current Code Enforcement staff options for compliance using adopted ordinances, and providing recommendations to cases that may require specialized expertise that may be sensitive in nature. 4LEAF staff also has designated staff tracking recent legislation to ensure the municipality follows state regulations and clients are aware of upcoming legislation that may affect their Code Enforcement Program.

Project-Specific Assignments
Our Code Enforcement Directors are often brought on board by municipalities to provide consulting for longstanding cases that need a fresh set of eyes and assessment. The Code Enforcement team at 4LEAF will lend their considerable expertise in bringing those difficult cases into compliance. We will review your most challenging cases, assess the work done to date, and confer with the Municipal Code and your department's Standard Operating Procedures. Once our analysis is complete, 4LEAF will provide you with a detailed report of our findings and specific step-by-step strategies to get those cases off the active roster. 4LEAF personnel will be available to speak with stakeholders such as Department Heads, Council, and other elected officials. If necessary, we can also provide Expert Witness Testimony.

Rental Housing Enforcement
Our team will assist with the inspection of residential rental properties on a routine and comprehensive basis to assure the overall quality of the unit meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Code and property maintenance guidelines. This includes educating property owners, property managers, and tenants about those requirements.

Review and Develop SOPs
4LEAF routinely works with Code Enforcement Divisions to review the current Standard Operating Procedures and provide suggestions for enhancing SOPs. Our staff can also help implement and train the existing municipal personnel in these changes. Currently, we are providing these services for California municipalities such as the cities of Escondido, Del Mar, and San Diego.

Stormwater Enforcement
4LEAF provides Stormwater Enforcement. This includes the visual inspection of infrastructure dedicated to the management of rainwater. Violations would include having inadequate erosion/sediment controls for property, failing to conduct/document inspections, illegal dumping, overgrowth of vegetation, and flooding.

Substandard Housing
One of the major areas of code enforcement throughout the U.S. is the inspection of Substandard Housing. 4LEAF Code Enforcement Officers routinely inspect and report any violations to housing codes including substandard and uninhabitable conditions, un-permitted construction, unlawfully created units or spaces, inadequate or non-existent heating, accumulated trash and debris, lack of utilities, property maintenance, mold, and rodent/insect infestations.

Tobacco Enforcement
These programs ensure that retailers are properly licensed/permitted for the sale of tobacco and such establishments are posting proper notification such as STAKE Act stickers at each point of sale. In addition, we can assist in compliance with work-place smoking and vaping prohibitions.

Vendor Enforcement
In many areas across California, unlawful street vending has become a pressing concern. These vendors, offering a wide variety of products, often operate without adhering to established regulations, leading to challenges such as littering, public right of way obstructions, and unfair competition with authorized businesses. While California has taken commendable steps, such as the introduction of Senate Bill 946 and Senate Bill 972, both of which are designed to regulate and decriminalize certain aspects of street vending, there remains much work to do. Many vendors, driven more by economic desperation than defiance, continue to bypass these regulations, resulting in a 107

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 37 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
surge of potentially unsafe vending operations, many of which are food vendors. This not only jeopardizes public health but also diminishes the state's regulatory efforts. 4LEAF is an experienced solution-oriented firm that recognizes the complexities of this issue. Beyond mere law enforcement, the 4LEAF team understands the socioeconomic intricacies driving vendors towards this livelihood. Our tailored programs are designed to address the root causes, ensuring vendors have pathways to legitimate operations while helping jurisdictions maintain public safety and order.

Through a partnership with the City, 4LEAF is poised to offer a comprehensive strategy and service that not only aligns with state regulations but also provides sustainable solutions for the challenges of unlawful street vending.

Code Enforcement Technology
4LEAF leverages a range of advanced software solutions to streamline case management, track performance, and generate comprehensive reports. Our team is highly proficient in platforms such as Accela, GOGovernment, eTRAKiT, Tyler Technologies, Comcate, CivicPlus, and the Microsoft Suite. These tools enable us to efficiently manage cases, monitor inspections, and produce detailed summary reports, enhancing the overall effectiveness of code enforcement operations.

In addition to our software expertise, 4LEAF customizes field reports for code enforcement officers, tailoring them to align with each jurisdiction's specific regulations and enforcement priorities. These reports allow officers to document inspections, capture key case details, and maintain accurate case records in real time, improving both efficiency and consistency in the field.

To support performance tracking and data-driven decision-making, we utilize interactive dashboards and key performance indicator (KPI) reports. These tools offer real-time data visualization, enabling staff and decision makers to assess case progress, monitor compliance rates, and optimize enforcement strategies. This data-driven approach enhances operational efficiency and helps justify staffing levels, resource allocation, and program funding needs.

Compliance documentation is further strengthened through the integration of geotagged, timestamped photographic evidence within our case management system. These images are directly linked to case files, providing verifiable proof of property conditions over time and reinforcing accuracy, accountability, and transparency in enforcement efforts.

For cost-benefit analyses, 4LEAF generates detailed reports that compare enforcement costs against compliance outcomes. These reports evaluate operational efficiency, resource utilization, and the financial impact of enforcement efforts, factoring in staff hours, administrative expenses, and potential revenue from fines or remediation fees. Findings are presented in a structured format with visual data representations, such as charts and tables, to assist decision makers in assessing program effectiveness and making informed policy decisions. 108

In summary, 4LEAF’s approach is proactive, professional, and highly responsive. We will integrate with Soledad’s staff and processes on day one, adopt the City’s priorities as our own, and actively work to streamline the planning process wherever possible.

Customer Service and Zoning Inquiries: 4LEAF planners can serve as the first point of contact at the City’s permit counter or by phone/email. We will represent Soledad with professionalism, courtesy, and a helpful attitude. This means greeting customers, answering questions about application requirements and procedures, providing accurate zoning code interpretations, and guiding applicants through the process. Our staff has extensive front counter experience, having worked in City planning offices throughout California. We understand the importance of clear communication and patience when assisting residents, business owners, and developers, especially in a small community setting. By being knowledgeable about Soledad’s municipal code and development standards, our planners will instill confidence in customers and provide accurate information on zoning, permit processes, fees, and timelines. We are committed to upholding Soledad’s customer service standards and will embody our “get to yes” approach at the counter, helping applicants find solutions to meet code requirements so their projects can move forward. Importantly, our team includes bilingual planners fluent in Spanish, ensuring we can assist Soledad’s Spanish-speaking residents in their preferred language. This cultural competency removes barriers and helps all members of the community feel comfortable navigating the planning process, whether at the public counter or during outreach events. 111

In addition to day-to-day coverage, we are prepared to support the City during emergencies or special projects, including fast-tracked reviews, urgent research, or disaster-related permitting. Our planners are highly responsive and accessible, often turning around requests the same day. Should any personnel transitions occur, we implement a smooth handoff process to maintain continuity. With 4LEAF as your on-call partner, the City can rely on consistent, professional planning support—ready when you need it most.

File and Communication Management: Equally important, our approach emphasizes proactive project management and quality control to deliver reliable results. We will assign a dedicated Project Manager (or Senior Planner) to Soledad’s contract who will oversee all tasks and personnel. This 4LEAF manager will coordinate assignments, monitor timelines, and ensure that each project or service request is handled efficiently from start to finish. Internally, we implement rigorous QA/QC reviews on key deliverables – for example, a Senior Planner or Planning Manager will review permit decisions, staff reports, and CEQA documents before they are finalized, providing a second layer of scrutiny for accuracy, consistency, and completeness. By combining strong management oversight with detailed-oriented planning practice, we guarantee that Soledad receives high-quality work products that meet all requirements and reflect well on the City.

Current Planning Services
For on-call current planning support, 4LEAF will provide experienced planners who can step in immediately to handle the City’s day-to-day development review tasks. Our team is well-versed in the full spectrum of current planning activities, and we will ensure that permit processing and customer service continue seamlessly during assignments. Some key current planning services we provide include:

Development Application Processing: Our team will process all types of development and land use applications on behalf of the City of Soledad, including both ministerial permits and discretionary entitlements. These range from site plan and design review to conditional use permits (CUPs), variances, subdivisions (tentative parcel and tract maps), lot line adjustments, zone changes, and more. Upon receipt, 4LEAF will conduct a thorough completeness review in accordance with the Permit Streamlining Act and issue timely completeness letters within the required 30-day window. Our planners utilize City checklists or assist in developing them if needed to ensure accurate and complete submittals. Once an application is deemed complete, we initiate a detailed evaluation against Soledad’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, design standards and applicable specific plans, including the Gateway Specific Plan and projects within the downtown revitalization and City Center Mixed-Use focus areas. We coordinate closely with Community Development, Public Works, Building, and utility agencies to identify requirements early in the process. All project data and correspondence can be managed through the City’s SmartGov permit tracking system to ensure transparency and efficiency.

By facilitating interdepartmental review, we help identify key issues early and ensure that all stakeholder input is reflected in staff reports and conditions of approval. These services are especially valuable as the City of Soledad advances major planning efforts, including its comprehensive General Plan update, Housing Element implementation, and the entitlement of transformative projects such as downtown mixed-use development and revitalization within the Gateway Specific Plan area.
112

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 42 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Staff Reports, Hearings & Decisions: 4LEAF planners will prepare professional staff reports and presentation materials for each task we are assigned. Our reports will include well-crafted project descriptions, analysis of the proposal (with findings of fact for required entitlements), and recommended conditions of approval that are tailored to the project and grounded in City code requirements. We will attach all necessary resolutions, draft ordinances, and CEQA documentation to support the decision-making process. We will also prepare all required public notices (e.g., mailed notices to neighbors, on-site posting of hearing notices, and newspaper publications if applicable) to ensure the community is informed of upcoming hearings in accordance with legal requirements. Our planners are adept at public speaking and can present projects to the Planning Commission or City Council, answering questions and providing clarifications as needed. We make sure that decision-makers are fully informed with clear, unbiased information and that the rationale for our recommendations is thoroughly explained, citing applicable plans, policies, and regulations. Whether acting as case planners for a Planning Commission item or making administrative decisions at the staff level, 4LEAF will exercise sound judgment and fairness, always aligned with the City’s codes and community values. After decisions are made, we will also handle any necessary follow-up, such as preparing notice of actions, updating project tracking systems, and briefing City staff on permit conditions for implementation.

Permit Plan Check & Condition Compliance: After project approval, 4LEAF will assist with reviewing construction plans (e.g., building permit submittals and improvement plans) for conformance with all planning requirements and conditions of approval. Our planners coordinate closely with the City’s Building and Engineering divisions during this plan check process to ensure that grading plans, building plans, and public infrastructure plans implement the project’s entitlements exactly as approved. We verify that each plan set complies with Soledad’s zoning standards, design guidelines, mitigation measures, and any special conditions imposed by the Planning Commission or City Council. If we identify any discrepancies or omissions, we will issue clear correction comments and work with the applicant’s design team to resolve them expediently. Additionally, 4LEAF can perform site inspections related to planning conditions of approval (such as verifying landscape installation, signage, or architectural detailing) to confirm that projects are constructed in full compliance before final signoff. By providing thorough plan review and on-site compliance checks, we help Soledad ensure that approved projects successfully transition from paper to reality in line with the City’s expectations.

Environmental and CEQA Compliance Documentation: 4LEAF’s Planning team includes dedicated environmental planning and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) experts who will ensure that Soledad’s projects and plans fully comply with CEQA and other environmental regulations. We understand that CEQA review is a critical component of both current and longrange planning decisions, and our approach is to integrate environmental considerations early and seamlessly into the planning process.
113

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 43 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
For development project review, our contract planners will determine the appropriate level of CEQA analysis for each application. Many small projects may qualify for Categorical Exemptions – our staff is well acquainted with the CEQA Guidelines and will prepare robust exemption justifications when applicable (including using the Class 32 urban infill exemption if criteria are met, or other classes of exemptions for minor projects). When a project is not exempt, 4LEAF can prepare all necessary CEQA documents on the City’s behalf. We have extensive experience writing Initial Studies, Negative Declarations (ND), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MND), and Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs). Our Senior Planners are experienced in leading the preparation of these documents. We will perform thorough analysis of all environmental issue areas – from traffic, noise, and air quality to biological resources and cultural resources – utilizing technical studies as needed. If specialized technical studies are required (e.g., a traffic impact analysis or a habitat assessment), 4LEAF can coordinate with sub-consultant experts to obtain those, but we will manage the overall CEQA document to ensure it is comprehensive and legally defensible. Our familiarity with CEQA case law and guidelines means we know how to document the City’s decision-making carefully, with substantial evidence for each conclusion, minimizing the risk of challenge.

Throughout all environmental tasks, our focus is on delivering objective, high-quality analysis that stands up to public and agency scrutiny. We strive to write environmental documents in plain language so that decisionmakers and community members can clearly understand the potential impacts and proposed mitigations for a project. We also embrace a problem-solving mindset in environmental review: rather than viewing CEQA as a hurdle, we use it as a tool to improve projects. For instance, if a traffic study shows an impact, we will work with the applicant to develop feasible mitigation that not only satisfies CEQA but also benefits the community. By being solution-oriented environmental planners, 4LEAF helps ensure that necessary mitigation measures are both effective and acceptable to the City and the applicant. In sum, our environmental and CEQA expertise will enable Soledad to confidently approve projects and plans knowing that all environmental considerations have been properly addressed and documented.

Throughout all current planning tasks, 4LEAF is committed to timeliness, accuracy, and keeping projects on track. We know that delays in processing can be costly to both the City and applicants, so we prioritize meeting all processing timelines. Our proactive approach means we communicate frequently with applicants to avoid stagnation, for example, if an application is incomplete or if additional studies are required, we will promptly notify the applicant and even offer a consultation meeting to walk through the requirements. By being solutionoriented and applicant-friendly, we help maintain positive momentum. At the same time, the City can trust that our team will uphold ordinances and policies rigorously. We will not compromise on the quality of review: every project will be reviewed against all applicable standards (e.g., zoning, design guidelines, CEQA, building/site safety considerations) and we will document our analyses thoroughly. Our ultimate goal in current planning is twofold: support the City in delivering excellent public service and facilitate well-vetted project approvals that further Soledad’s development goals and comply with all legal requirements. With 4LEAF handling current planning, the City can be confident that everyday planning functions are executed efficiently and professionally, keeping homeowners, businesses, and developers satisfied with the process. 114

Long-Range Planning Services
In addition to handling immediate development needs, 4LEAF can provide robust support for long-range planning and policy initiatives. We understand that Soledad’s on-call planning consultant must be capable of assisting with City-driven plans and programs that shape the community’s future. Our team has helped jurisdictions across California develop and implement General Plans, Specific Plans, Housing Elements, and zoning ordinances, and we bring that expertise to support Soledad’s ongoing planning goals.

The City of Soledad is actively advancing key planning efforts that shape its long-term development vision. 4LEAF is well-positioned to support these initiatives, including the Siempre Soledad 2045 General Plan Update, which is guiding policies on land use, housing, transportation, open space, safety, and environmental justice. We can provide technical and outreach support aligned with GPAC-led engagement, policy drafting, and programmatic CEQA documentation.

We are ready to assist with General Plan Amendments, Specific Plan updates, and Zoning Code changes to ensure consistency with state law and local objectives. This includes support for the City’s General Plan update, zoning refinements required for 6th Cycle Housing Element implementation, and emerging policy priorities related to sustainability, mobility, and transit-oriented development particularly in the Gateway and City Center areas.
4LEAF is particularly well-versed in California housing legislation and can help the City implement key Housing Element programs. Our planners can assist in updating zoning to reflect new housing site strategies, creating byright approval processes where required, or drafting ordinance updates for SB 9, ADUs, and SB 35 streamlining.

We can also assist with the City’s Annual Housing Element Progress Reports and internal guidance documents to support compliance and consistency. By staying ahead of legislative changes, we help ensure Soledad’s longrange planning framework remains current and actionable.

General Plans, Specific Plans, Community Plans, and Zoning Updates: Our planners have extensive experience developing and updating Specific Plans and similar long-range planning documents. Our team is prepared to support Soledad’s ongoing Zoning Code Update, which includes amendments to facilitate ADUs (in line with SB 229 and AB 494), by-right multifamily development, emergency shelter zoning, and updates to density bonus regulations. We can draft compliant ordinance language and provide outreach and implementation materials to ensure consistency with State mandates and Housing Element goals.

Additionally, we can support the City in updating its Zoning Ordinance and Municipal Code to enhance planning processes and development standards. The RFP specifically notes a need for zoning and land use analysis; 4LEAF will evaluate Soledad’s existing codes and identify sections that may benefit from clarification or modernization (for instance, updating definitions, streamlining the permit review process, or adjusting development standards to align with General Plan policies). We have recently updated zoning codes in other jurisdictions to address modern issues like mixed-use development, urban agriculture, electric vehicle infrastructure, and sustainability standards, and we can bring those insights to Soledad. Any minor ordinance amendments the City desires (for 115

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 45 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
example, revising sign regulations, refining ADU standards, or adopting objective design standards for SB 35 compliance) can be prepared by our staff efficiently. We will ensure that code updates are internally consistent, legally compliant, and user-friendly, making the regulations easier for both staff and the public to understand and apply.

Policy Planning and Strategic Initiatives: Beyond formal plans and codes, 4LEAF is ready to support a variety of long-range planning initiatives the City may undertake. This could include creating community engagement strategies for planning projects, conducting special studies such as economic development studies, parking analyses, or neighborhood revitalization plans, and participating in regional planning efforts. If Soledad seeks to develop a Climate Action Plan or integrate sustainability and resilience measures into its planning framework, our team includes environmental planners who can help formulate those policies and programs. We also have experience in transportation planning at the city level, for example, updating circulation elements, coordinating with transit agencies, and planning for pedestrian/bike improvements that enhance mobility.

Additionally, 4LEAF’s staff can assist in drafting grant applications for long-range projects, ensuring the City’s planning proposals are competitive for funding (see more on grant support in Value-Added Services).

Throughout any long-range project, we place heavy emphasis on community involvement. Our approach is to engage stakeholders early and often: we can organize and facilitate community workshops, design charrettes, or town hall meetings to gather input on planning vision and priorities. We have team members fluent in Spanish and experienced in inclusive outreach, which can help involve a broader cross-section of Soledad’s community in long-range planning conversations. For example, we can facilitate bilingual community workshops and provide Spanish-language presentation materials to ensure that Spanish-speaking residents are fully included in shaping Soledad’s plans. By combining technical planning skill with meaningful public engagement, 4LEAF will help Soledad create and implement long-range plans that reflect community values and set the stage for a sustainable, prosperous future.

Furthermore, we understand that the City is updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan and pursuing economic development strategies such as downtown revitalization and affordable housing production in partnership with Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association (CHISPA). 4LEAF can contribute to these initiatives by supporting land use strategy alignment, CEQA review, and urban design evaluations for infill and mixed-use development. We can also help translate planning documents into grantready deliverables, positioning Soledad for implementation funding.

Historic Preservation and CEQA Historic Resource Review: The City of Soledad’s older residential neighborhoods, downtown core, and legacy agricultural infrastructure reflect a rich cultural narrative that warrants thoughtful planning and design consideration. As the City continues to implement its General Plan update and shape future downtown revitalization efforts, 4LEAF is prepared to provide preservation-focused planning support that balances community development goals with state and federal requirements. Our team includes architectural historians and planners with specialized training in cultural resource management.

We provide the following services:
116

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 46 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
• Historic Status Evaluation: Conduct DPR 523 forms, field surveys, and archival research to determine historic significance and integrity, consistent with CEQA §15064.5 and National/California Register criteria.
• Design Review Using SOI Standards: Apply the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties when evaluating proposed rehabilitations, additions, or adaptive reuse projects that may affect potentially eligible resources.
• Staff Reports & Conditions: Prepare concise staff reports, findings, and project conditions for downtown façade upgrades, infill projects, and retrofit work in areas with historic character, ensuring design compatibility and code compliance.
• Environmental Documentation: Draft CEQA technical studies for historic resources, including impact assessments, mitigation measures (e.g., interpretive signage, materials salvage), and provide construction-period monitoring when needed.
• Policy Guidance: Assist with the development or refinement of zoning tools and design standards that support historic character retention such as potential conservation districts or form-based code elements compatible with Soledad’s small-town scale and identity. • Mills Act Program Expertise: 4LEAF offers specialized expertise in Mills Act implementation, guiding historic property owners through the designation and application process. Our team coordinates with legal staff, prepares contracts, and presents applications to City Councils. We also provide informed guidance to prospective buyers on both the financial benefits and preservation responsibilities associated with Mills Act properties.

From analyzing eligibility of older structures in the city core to supporting CEQA compliance for infill and revitalization projects, 4LEAF offers practical, timely preservation guidance that reflects Soledad’s vision while facilitating efficient project processing.

Ongoing Professional Development and Compliance: Our team members have completed specialized training through the National Preservation Institute, including coursework in Section 106, GIS mapping, and Native American heritage. Additionally, we stay up‐to‐date with evolving preservation policies through annual CPF conferences and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards Bootcamp. With expertise in historic preservation, regulatory compliance, and real-world project experience, 4LEAF is dedicated to helping the City of Soledad protect and celebrate its historic resources while supporting thoughtful development and the preservation of community character.

Peer Review or Preparation of Environmental Documents: For policy and long-range plans, we will likewise handle programmatic CEQA review. For example, if the City updates its General Plan or creates a Specific Plan, 4LEAF can prepare the Program EIR or Supplemental EIR needed. We are experienced in evaluating cumulative, growth-inducing, and other broad impacts that long-range plans entail. We also understand the importance of coordinating CEQA public review with the planning process timeline. Our team will publish all required notices (NOPs, NOIs, public hearing notices), manage public comment periods, and respond to comments in a thorough and timely manner. We will work closely with City staff and legal counsel to address any complex environmental issues (such as floodplain considerations along the Salinas River and surrounding agricultural areas, or historic resource evaluations in the older parts of Soledad). By having 4LEAF handle the environmental review, the City 117

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 47 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
can be confident that no steps will be missed in the CEQA process – from initial study checklists to mitigation monitoring plans, we take care of all documentation.

Beyond CEQA, 4LEAF’s environmental planning services can cover other needs such as NEPA documentation (should any federally-funded project in Soledad trigger NEPA), grant-related environmental analysis (for example, if required by HUD or Caltrans for funding), and general sustainability planning. We can assist the City in integrating sustainability and climate resilience into development conditions and long-range plans. Our planners stay current on evolving environmental regulations and will incorporate those into our review process.

GIS Services: Modern planning depends on data integration and visualization. 4LEAF offers GIS mapping and data analysis as part of our on-call services, enabling Soledad to access accurate and actionable spatial information. Our planners include GIS-trained staff who can create detailed maps for project review, CEQA documents, and public outreach, including zoning, land use, environmental constraints, and housing site maps. In addition to static mapping, we support spatial analysis and data management, such as mapping permit trends, RHNA progress, or zoning scenarios. 4LEAF can help maintain the City’s GIS data layers and perform updates tied to General Plan and Zoning Code amendments. 4LEAF’s planners and GIS specialists are experienced in working with municipal permit tracking systems and can support the City’s use of SmartGov by preparing mapping products and spatial data that align with its workflows.

While direct GIS–SmartGov integration is managed through the City’s system administrator, our team ensures that all GIS deliverables are compatible with the City’s permitting processes and can be easily referenced or uploaded into SmartGov as needed. This includes zoning and land use maps, parcel-specific exhibits, and environmental constraint overlays to support staff reports, plan reviews, and public presentations. 4LEAF will ensure that all GIS products are formatted and aligned for integration with the City’s SmartGov permit tracking system, in coordination with City staff.

Budget Management and QA/QC
4LEAF is dedicated to delivering value to the City of Soledad through careful budget management and rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) practices. We recognize that as a public agency, the City must manage taxpayer funds prudently, and our approach reflects a deep respect for budgetary constraints and the need for cost-effective service.

Efficient Use of Resources: From the outset of any task, we plan our work to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. This starts with assigning the right level of staff for each job. For example, a routine zoning verification might be handled by an associate-level planner rather than a senior planner, to keep billing rates low, while a complex General Plan amendment would involve senior or principal planner oversight to ensure it’s done correctly the first time. We will work with the City to prioritize tasks so that critical items are addressed promptly and no time is wasted on lower-priority activities. Our team members are trained to be budgetconscious, tracking their hours closely and focusing on productive output during every billable hour. 4LEAF has internal tools and templates which help streamline work and avoid “reinventing the wheel.” We will also coordinate with City staff to prevent any duplication of effort. If City employees are handling certain aspects of a project, we’ll complement their work rather than overlap. By maintaining this efficient workflow, 4LEAF ensures that the hours we invoice align with tangible deliverables and meaningful progress for the City. 118

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 48 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Transparency and Monitoring: As part of our budget management, 4LEAF provides full transparency in billing.

We can furnish the City with detailed timesheets or task logs with each invoice, showing exactly what work was done in each hour billed. Additionally, our Project Manager will keep an internal budget tracker for the contract and for individual large projects. We monitor how much of the budget is used per task and can report to the City regularly (monthly or upon request) on the burn rate and remaining funds. In addition, we can include in our reports a monthly summary of planning activities (such as the number of applications processed, plan checks completed, and permits issued) to give City management a clear snapshot of workload and performance. If we ever foresee that a particular task might require more hours than estimated, we will alert the City in advance and discuss options – there will be no surprises when it comes to hours expended or costs incurred. Our goal is to manage the on-call contract such that all tasks are completed within the agreed budget and to seek ways to save money where possible.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control: While controlling costs is important, 4LEAF never sacrifices quality. In fact, we believe good QA/QC ultimately saves money by avoiding re-work and errors. Our approach includes a built-in QA/QC process for all major work products. This means that whenever a 4LEAF planner prepares a document for Soledad, a second qualified team member will review it. This peer review checks for factual accuracy, consistency with City policies, clarity of writing, and completeness. For example, before we submit a staff report to the City, our senior staff will verify that all required findings are addressed, all referenced code sections are correct, and conditions of approval are enforceable and clearly written. We will correct any typos or formatting issues as well, presenting a polished document to City staff. Similarly, for CEQA documents, our environmental lead will QA the analysis to ensure it meets legal standards and adequately discusses all impacts. This extra layer of review is done at no additional cost to the City as it’s part of our internal workflow to maintain high standards.

Accountability and Adjustments: 4LEAF stands by the quality of our work. If the City ever identifies an issue or has feedback on a work product, we take it very seriously and will address it immediately. We consider feedback an opportunity to improve and tailor our services even more to the City’s preferences. Additionally, we will participate in any regular check-in meetings with City management to review performance, workload, and budget status. In those meetings, we welcome discussion of how things are going and will adjust our approach if needed. For instance, if the City feels too many hours are being spent in one area, we can strategize with staff on alternate approaches or additional training that might streamline that task. Our commitment is to continuous improvement, both in how we manage time and money and in the quality of the outcomes we deliver.

In summary, 4LEAF will treat the City’s budget as carefully as we do our own. By working efficiently, keeping the City informed, and maintaining top-notch quality control, we ensure that Soledad receives maximum value from our on-call services. Every plan review, permit, and policy document we handle will be done right the first time, saving the City time and expense in the long run. We are confident that our blend of fiscal discipline and highcaliber work will make 4LEAF a cost-effective choice for Soledad’s planning needs. 119

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 49 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Value-Added Services
Beyond the core services outlined in the RFP, 4LEAF offers several value-added services that can further benefit the City of Soledad. These are additional areas where our team can contribute to the City’s success, providing expertise and deliverables that go above and beyond the minimum requirements:
• Permitting Process Improvements: As we work alongside City staff, we will continuously look for opportunities to streamline and improve Soledad’s permitting and planning processes. Our team has helped other municipalities identify workflow bottlenecks and implement solutions (such as simplifying application forms, creating user-friendly checklists and FAQs for the public, and establishing internal review timelines for accountability). We would be happy to conduct a process review workshop with City staff to map out the current development review process and suggest enhancements. This might include introducing best practices we’ve seen elsewhere – for example, a standardized completeness review template, or a coordinated interdepartmental review meeting for complex projects. Small procedural tweaks can significantly reduce processing times and improve customer satisfaction. 4LEAF will not only execute the City’s existing processes efficiently but also serve as a consultant to recommend permanent improvements that leave the City’s department stronger even after our assignment.
• Minor Ordinance Updates & Policy Guidance: While major code updates would fall under long-range planning, 4LEAF can provide quick assistance with minor ordinance amendments or policy clarifications as value-added support. For instance, if City staff encounters recurring issues with a particular code section (say, an outdated parking standard or an unclear sign ordinance provision), our planners can draft revised language to fix the issue, drawing on examples from other cities. We stay up-to-date on new state laws and regulatory changes. If a new mandate comes into effect, we will alert the City and can draft template ordinance updates or policy memos to ensure the City remains in compliance.

Additionally, we can prepare internal guidance documents or cheat-sheets for staff on how to implement new laws or complex regulations. For example, we could create a quick reference guide on SB 9 lot split processing or an outline of steps to implement CEQA streamlining for infill projects. These tools make it easier for the City to adapt to change and maintain consistency in decision-making. Our ability to self-perform planning law analysis means Soledad gets expert advice without needing to hire outside counsel or consultants for every minor code question, a clear added value of having 4LEAF on board.
• Grant-Ready Deliverables and Grant Support: 4LEAF is keenly aware that many planning initiatives can be funded by state or regional grants (from SB2, REAP/LEAP housing planning grants to Active Transportation Program funds, Sustainable Communities grants, and more). We strive to produce grantready deliverables in our work. This means that any studies, plans, or data we prepare will be formatted and detailed in ways that can support grant applications. For example, if we help the City develop a downtown strategic plan or a bicycle/pedestrian improvement plan, we will ensure it includes the necessary elements that grant programs typically require. Then, when a grant opportunity arises, the City can leverage the work 4LEAF has done without starting from scratch. Moreover, our team can assist in identifying and pursuing grant opportunities. We can keep the City informed of upcoming grant programs related to planning such as new funding from the California Department of Housing and 120

Proposal to Provide Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services to the City of Soledad Page 50 Section 5: Scope of Work May 30, 2025
Community Development for implementation of Housing Elements, or Caltrans grants for transportation planning. If desired, we can even help write portions of grant applications, providing technical narratives and data to strengthen the City’s submissions. By doing so, 4LEAF helps Soledad potentially attract external funding to offset the costs of planning projects. • Training and Mentorship for City Staff: While not explicitly required, 4LEAF is happy to share knowledge and build capacity within the City. If Soledad has junior planning staff or interns, our seasoned planners can provide on-the-job mentorship, offering tips and lessons from their extensive careers. We can also conduct informal training sessions on topics of interest. For example, our staff can provide a lunchtime seminar on “The Basics of CEQA” for city staff from various departments, or a workshop on how to navigate new state housing laws. This knowledge transfer leaves a lasting impact, equipping the City’s team with enhanced skills. We see ourselves as partners and educators, not just consultants, and we take pride in helping bolster the capabilities of those we work with. • Community Engagement & Public Information: As a value-add, 4LEAF can help the City with community engagement beyond the standard requirements. We have team members experienced in running virtual engagement meetings, social media outreach, and developing informational brochures about planning topics (often providing bilingual English-Spanish materials to reach a wider audience). We can also support any citizen advisory committees or community task forces the City may establish related to planning, by providing staff support or facilitating meetings. Our aim is to help Soledad build strong community trust in the planning process through transparency and education.

In offering these value-added services, 4LEAF demonstrates that we are not just here to check the boxes of the scope of work. We are invested in Soledad’s overall success and are willing to go the extra mile to provide holistic support to the City’s planning function. Our broad experience in municipal planning enables us to contribute ideas and services that can improve efficiency, ensure compliance, secure funding, and enhance community relations – all of which yield long-term advantages for the City.

Conclusion
4LEAF is excited about the opportunity to serve the City of Soledad and confident in our ability to deliver exceptional on-call planning services. Our understanding of the City’s needs and our tailored approach emphasizing integration, responsiveness, and quality will enable us to hit the ground running. We will cover all aspects of current and long-range planning with professionalism and care, treating City goals as our own. With 4LEAF as your on-call planning partner, Soledad can expect a team that is knowledgeable, accessible, and wholeheartedly committed to facilitating great projects and sound planning policy. We look forward to helping Soledad achieve its vision by providing a steady, reliable extension of City staff and a team that “gets to yes” while upholding the highest standards of planning practice. 121

Soledad, CA 93960
Re: Proposal for Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, & Building Inspection Services Dear Ms. Trujillo,
CSG Consultants, Inc. (CSG) would like to thank the City of Soledad (City) for the opportunity to submit our proposal for Professional Building, Planning Plan Review, and Building Inspection Services.

We greatly value our longstanding relationship with the City and take pride in the wide range of services we have successfully provided over the years.

In response to feedback from City staff regarding our Engineering services, particularly on a key project, we have taken proactive steps to enhance our performance and address the City’s concerns. We welcome the opportunity to confirm with staff that these improvements have met expectations. Our goal is to consistently exceed the City’s expectations, and we remain committed to working collaboratively to serve the City of Soledad community. To that end, we have assembled a highly qualified team with both the technical expertise and customer service focus necessary to support the City in any capacity our services may be needed.

The Team Organization Chart identifies the many CSG personnel who are available to support the City of Soledad. CSG is proposing top-level staff to provide the following services. John LaTorra will be the Project Manager, Crickett Brinkman will be the Point of Contact for all plan reviews, Mark McClain will be the Building Official and Senior Building Inspector, Gina Paolini will provide Planning services, Rick Rodewald and Jim Dias will provide Fire services, and Sophie Truong will oversee the Engineering services. CSG is prepared to provide Code Enforcement and other services for the City of Soledad, if desired.

We understand the City is seeking qualified consultants to supplement in-house staff, who rely on a basic understanding of plan review and inspection services, but don’t always possess the technical expertise related to the California Building Codes. CSG staff thrive in this environment, lending our expertise and working alongside City staff in a collaborative manner. This partnership is increasingly important considering the rapidly evolving development environment of Soledad, which anticipates a 23 percent population growth over the next 20 years (AMBAG 2026 Regional Growth Forecast).

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 5 UNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY’S DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
Considering the rapid outward expansion of the Silicon Valley, Soledad’s traditionally agriculture-based community has seen an influx in development and subsequent population growth. This regional shift, coupled with a statewide surge in housing demand, are driving factors behind the expected 23 percent growth forecasted over the next 20 years (AMBAG 2026 Regional Growth Forecast). CSG’s breadth and depth of staff can equip the City with the resources needed to keep up with the wave of new residential and commercial development. We understand there are significant projects in the City’s pipeline—notably the large-scale Miramonte Specific Plan, multiple housing projects, and various commercial developments—and can work in concert with City staff during high-volume review periods to ensure the City upholds expected turnaround times and customer service levels.

CAPABILITIES & APPROACH TO WORK
CSG’s proposed team has been selected to best support the specific needs of City and will deliver exceptional service through its application of technical expertise, knowledge of municipal processes and procedures, efficient and effective customer care, and application of code compliance combined with innovative and helpful alternatives. Our extensive experience in furnishing comprehensive building and fire life safety services to jurisdictions provides a consistent, strong technical foundation to all projects. From providing leading-edge digital plan review and online plan check status reporting, to delivering faster-than-scheduled turnaround times and code interpretations, CSG will deliver the highest quality services to the City. CSG’s approach to work includes the following methodologies and key benefits:
• Familiarity and proximity. Our proposed staff have extensive experience working with the City and nearby agencies and are familiar with the City’s processes and procedures. Many proposed staff are permanently assigned to our Newman office. CSG’s proximity allows us to respond quickly, often with short notice, to provide timely services on high volume days or when existing staff is out of the office. • A wealth of fully committed and qualified personnel. We maintain staff that are fully licensed and certified at the highest level of industry standards. To keep our personnel on the industry’s leading edge, many serve as instructors and lecturers and sit on boards and committees for organizations developing and implementing important code regulations. We also keep current with the latest in procedures and use of products by attending regional, state and national training opportunities and industry provided product/materials training.
• Customized, responsive services. We are skilled at assessing time commitments, developing accurate work plans and applying dedicated, professional personnel with the skills and experience best suited for the project. We can fine-tune staffing levels to match or adjust to changes in plan review, inspection, and front counter activity and ensure responsiveness to customers. With our digital plan review capabilities, we can utilize plan review resources from any of our regional offices. We excel at coordinating with all agency departments, as well as outside agencies. Additionally, we have staff capable of performing same day inspections, who can promptly relay inspection results to the customer and/or City staff.
• Rapid turnarounds and expedited services. With extensive experience in both code application and the digital plan review process, our staff excels at performing expeditious turnarounds while delivering thorough and accurate reviews. We easily match and more often beat any required review turnaround deadlines.
• Leading-edge, cost-saving technology and methods. CSG delivers a suite of digital options— speedy digital plan reviews and electronic versions of plan comments; an easy-to-use online application for plan submittal, tracking and approval of digital plans; and available full scanning and archiving services.

In addition, through knowledge gained from service to over 350 public agencies, we are constantly improving and adapting to provide our clients with the most cost-effective services. • Environmentally friendly practices. Our corporate policy on sustainability supports a healthy environment, reduces our carbon footprint and promotes stewardship through environmentally preferable purchasing. We also use a digital plan review system that bypasses paper consumption and use of duplexing and recycled, post-consumer content paper when printing is necessary. 184

Building Plan Review, Fire Plan Review & CASp
CSG provided building plan review, fire plan review, and CASp review for the Sunnyvale Civic Center, a 4-story, 117,000 square foot structure that will serve as Sunnyvale’s new city hall. The project received an LEED Platinum rating and a Net Zero carbon footprint— the first city hall in the nation to be recognized for attaining both of these standards--and is now recognized as ”America’s Greenest City Hall.” The all-electric building is powered by roof-top solar panels and features floor-to-ceiling bird-safe windows, light wells and a unique orientation that allows for maximum use of natural light. The new city hall also includes a revamped public safety emergency operations center, with plans to add six acres of public open space, an outdoor amphitheater, and an expanded library. The project was divided into six phases—with CSG being heavily involved in plan reviews for each phase. Throughout each step in the process, CSG helped ensure that all required building, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and accessibility requirements were met in all six phases.

Before the building ever opened to the public, it was recognized as one of the Business Journal’s 2022 Structures for public/civic projects.

The following is a small list of code enforcement services that CSG staff have provided to client agencies:

CODE ENFORCEMENT TRAINING OFFICER AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | CITY OF GUSTINE, CA CSG staff has and is currently serving as their training officer for their Code Enforcement staff in the City of Gustine.

Training of their new officers included municipal code interpretation, inspections, investigations, case management officer safety practices, business licensing, field checks, handling citizen complaints, and always exercising sound decision-making.

SPECIALTY PROGRAM – AGED CASES | CITY OF CAMPBELL, CA
CSG has worked with the City to focus on the management and closure of older cases. Many of these cases have complexities that include incomplete records, multiple changes in ownership, cross-platform violations, and other challenging characteristics. These cases have required the experience of one of our veteran officers due to the high level of finesse needed to manage non-compliant responsible parties. A significant number of cases required direct coordination with and approval of various departmental City staff. Our officer frequently requires coordination from outside resources (e.g., County of Santa Clara), creates new collaborative models (a unified partnership with Building and Planning) and representing the department as a seamless extension of the City. CSG’s code enforcement officer’s work for the City of Campbell has resulted in a substantial caseload reduction and has been able to successfully close “unsolvable” case.

CSG views every assignment and project as an opportunity to build long-lasting, meaningful working relationships with our clients. We ensure a clear line of communication with every client, stakeholder, agency, decisionmaker, and project team member to ensure assignments and projects achieve and exceed expectations.

We are solutions-oriented, focused on teamwork, and maintain a high level of professionalism in everything we do. Our mission is to consistently meet or exceed our client’s expectations in a responsible and efficient manner.

At CSG, we act as project managers in most of our efforts, but we are first and foremost planners. Our goal is to always perform as a “partner planner” for our clients, providing additional support and services to existing agency staff members. CSG’s project managers bring decades of project management experience, implementing best practices, while delivering work products on time and within budget.

A comprehensive approach to project management includes attention to land use planning, economic feasibility, urban design, and the environment. Our project management philosophy is built upon the anticipation of, and preparation for, all issues that may arise throughout the project process. By constantly considering and developing the appropriate process and plan to address political, environmental, social, and design challenges/opportunities, we can better serve the City while delivering the highest quality product.

Our Planning and Environmental Planning team has working relationships with technical experts spanning a myriad of issue areas. These relationships assure continuity and the understanding of expectations for concise writing styles, analysis, documentation, and time management. In addition, upon initiation of a project, each team member along with the subconsultant team will be provided with the agreed upon scope of work, project schedule and budget, and will attend project initiation meetings, as needed. CSG’s Project Manager will serve as the main point of contact, ensuring a consistent flow of information between City staff, CSG, and subconsultants.

CURRENT & ADVANCED PLANNING
At CSG we believe that changing environmental conditions, increased need for housing, diminishing raw land inventory, complex mobility issues, urban infill opportunities, and economic feasibility are all becoming pivotal factors driving projects and the future of development. Our team fuses thoughtful creativity with function, practicality with aesthetics, and connecting places with people.

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 25 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
CSG has the environmental staff resources to manage and prepare clear, concise, and legally defensible environmental documents under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for projects of all types, including development, infrastructure improvements, ecological enhancements, and policy adoption documents, such as General Plans and Specific Plans. CSG will serve as an extension of City staff to ensure that the entire environmental review process is conducted in a comprehensive manner. Our objective is to provide premium services to our clients, along with highly accurate technical documentation and impact determinations.

We can assist the City with recommendations and scoping for the appropriate CEQA and NEPA documentation and, should an EIR be the determined clearance, CSG can lead the preparation of response to comments and any required findings of facts/statement of overriding considerations. We are also ready to assist the City with project stakeholder coordination, filing of public notices (including electronic filing with the State Clearinghouse), participation in public hearings, peer review of technical studies, and complete project management services throughout the environmental review process.

Our range of types of CEQA studies includes (but is not limited to):
• Categorical Exemptions,
• Initial Studies (with all applicable technical reports to support an adequate determination), • Negative Declarations,
• Mitigated Negative Declarations,
• Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs),
• Project/Program/Focused/Supplemental/Subsequent EIRs, • Addendum to previously approved and certified environmental analyses, • Consistency checklists,
• Mitigation monitoring programs,
• All notices required per CEQA such as Notices of Intent/Preparation/Determination, and • Providing peer review of CEQA documents prepared by project applicants.

Approach to Environmental Planning
CSG planners are environmental stewards for our natural and built environments. CSG’s approach to environmental documentation is to understand and analyze each project based on the pertinent environmental issues. CSG’s methods emphasize technically solid, impartial analysis, and active management to keep projects on schedule and within budget. Our approach entails an efficient process to ensure that studies are comprehensive, objective, technically accurate, and complete, while maintaining a focus on the schedule established for review. Our management style includes consistent and regular interaction and communication between staff, the CSG team, and other interested/responsible governmental agencies and parties, as appropriate, allowing for frequent exchange of information without loss of time or resources. We pride ourselves on our ability to turn products around quickly and effectively without sacrificing quality and accuracy.

If it is determined the project is not exempt, CSG then proceeds with the preparation of an Initial Study pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines in consultation with the City. The Initial Study provides a screening and threshold review for each topical area to confirm and proceed with the appropriate CEQA clearance review. CSG also considers recent legislation and court decisions pertaining to environmental review, along with City requirements. Additionally, and more specifically, we embrace the following steps in the review process:
• Establish a communications protocol and technical leads, including subconsultants and other key team members to ensure project critical information is efficiently and accurately conveyed across the team • Ensure roles/responsibilities are clear for efficient management of assignments and quality control of services and deliverables
• Determine key project description details with the City early to facilitate accurate and consistent reviews and analysis
• Agree on the initial project schedule and budget and a protocol for updating status during project phases
204

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 26 • Verify that the technical approach/scope of services, as conveyed in the proposal, meets City’s expectations following completion of the Project Description • Collaborate upfront with the City on standard templates for project deliverables, including peer review technical memoranda and CEQA document components
Developing Project Descriptions and Context. We understand the importance of confirming the Project Description as early in the process as possible to ensure consistency between technical documents and avoid the need to redo analyses. CSG can assist City staff in determining the information required to proceed with the environmental review. We also have proven strategies to move forward with environmental review when there are unknowns, or a project design requires flexibility. For example, when there are different scenarios a project might implement, we can determine the most conservative scenario, so that each scheme is covered by the environmental review.

Conducting Preliminary Environmental Compliance Review. As part of scoping, we complete a comprehensive review of a project to determine whether it is exempt from environmental review. For example, our understanding is the City anticipates new housing, retail, employment, and infrastructure projects stemming from the recent adoption of the 2040 General Plan. There may be an opportunity to streamline the environmental review of such projects utilizing Public Resources Code Section 21083 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, which states that later activities may be found within the scope of a certified Program EIR, and no further environmental documents would be required. Additionally, projects may be subject to review under Section 15183, Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning. CSG is available to meet with City staff to discuss a specific project and confirm whether any exemptions would apply; we can prepare the required documentation to demonstrate such activities would be exempt from CEQA.

Preparing Initial Studies. If it is determined that a project is not exempt, CSG could then proceed with the preparation of an Initial Study pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study provides a screening and threshold review for each topical area to confirm the appropriate CEQA clearance. An Initial Study is the common supporting review documentation for a (mitigated) negative declaration determination. In certain circumstances, we know that a project will result in significant impacts, requiring the preparation of an EIR. In these cases, to save time and reduce costs, we may recommend the preparation of an EIR without an Initial Study. However, in cases where an EIR will be required, it may be beneficial to prepare an Initial Study to help focus the EIR on the potentially significant impacts. CSG can assist the City in making this determination on a project-by-project basis.

Preparing EIRs. When there is substantial evidence that a proposed project or action may result in potentially significant impacts on the environment, CSG possesses the technical capabilities and expertise to assist our agency clients in preparing an EIR, including, but not limited to:
• Defining the project description,
• Identifying stakeholders and affected agencies,
• Maintaining the administrative record,
• Preparing and distributing the notice of preparation for a 30-day review, • Conducting a scoping meeting,
• Preparing supporting technical reports and Administrative Draft EIR for internal review, • Preparing and circulating the Public Review Draft EIR for a 45-day review period, • Drafting responses to comments,
• Preparing the Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Leveraging Knowledge of Local, State, and Federal Regulations. CSG commonly works with regulatory agencies throughout the environmental process and during the regulatory permitting phase of a project to identify, discuss, and resolve key issues. We have professional working relationships with local, State, and Federal agency staff and can facilitate discussions and meetings as needed. Specifically, these relationships include, but are not limited to: Caltrans, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Regional Water Quality Control Boards, California Housing and Community Development, and the Army Corps of Engineers.

Public Input Processes and Dissemination of Information. Given our unique background providing comprehensive municipal services, we have ample experience interfacing with the public and have a deep 205

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 27 understanding of the public input process and challenges that can arise. CSG can collaborate with the City in preparing community outreach plans that include ongoing public engagement opportunities, and we can attend public hearings and meetings to address questions on the City’s behalf and/or present our conclusions to the decision-making body.

Ensuring Compliance with Processing and Legal Requirements. The CSG team has prepared CEQA documentation for controversial projects, and we have an exemplary record of legal defensibility for the documentation we prepare. Our documents contain thorough environmental analysis and provide clear documentation for all research contacts and data sources, which reduces the potential for successful legal challenges; we can also assist the City in preparing the administrative record. We keep abreast of regulatory updates and court decisions, which are then incorporated into our environmental analysis, as appropriate.

Peer Review. CSG is available to peer review projects plans, supporting technical documents, and the entire array of environmental documents, including Initial Studies, MNDs, and EIRs. Our peer review includes confirming the adequacy of underlying assumptions, methodologies, modeling, and a technical sufficiency review of the overall document. We then provide written comments providing clear direction on revisions to plans, reports, documents, and studies to ensure they are technically accurate, adequately analyze project impacts, and meet the requirements of CEQA and NEPA.

Quality Assurance/Control. CSG is committed to providing high quality documentation that engenders client satisfaction, meets the needs of the project, and withstands legal scrutiny. Therefore, a critical part of our delivery of technically sound and legally defensible environmental documents includes conducting in-house QA/QC reviews concurrently with the preparation of documents. Our approach to providing quality, technically sound, and legally defensible reports includes the following steps: we assign staff members who have the appropriate technical expertise to complete the work; all work products are prepared with oversight and reviewed by an assigned technical lead; upon completion of the first internal draft of a document, it is reviewed by the project manager for consistency with the project description, compliance with the approved scope of work, and technical accuracy. Once the work product has been revised and updated to the satisfaction of the project manager, it is sent to our technical editor for review of grammar, proper nomenclature, references, and methodologic consistency. The last step before the document is submitted to the City is a thorough and complete word processing review that produces a correctly formatted document, with accurate references to tables, exhibits, appendices, and the table of contents. Only then is a document submitted to the City for review. 206

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 28 ENGINEERING SERVICES
Plan checking for new or redevelopment projects form a large part of CSG’s services. CSG has been providing plan check, exclusively to local municipalities, since the firm’s inception in 1991. Our success in maintaining ongoing relationships with our clients in a highly competitive environment is due to our ability to understand needs and priorities and partner with them in achieving their goals. We understand that our clientele includes not just public agencies but also the development community seeking to process applications through those agencies. We also understand that many development applications are important to public agencies due to the economic and quality of life benefits that those projects bring to the communities. Our reviews may be limited to certain aspects of the site design or may be comprehensive as directed by the City.

On-Site Plan Review
Typical engineering reviews for private development projects, such as commercial, mixed-use, and residential developments generally include the following:
• Evaluation of required studies, such as hydrology and hydraulics reports • Review of on-site rough grading plans, if any
• Review of on-site precise grading and drainage plans, utility plans, and any other plan required by the City to be included in the permitting package
• Review of Stormwater Control Plan (SCP) and Performance Requirement Checklists under the Phase II Small MS4 Permit and Central Coast RWQCB will include review for the appropriate site design and runoff reduction measures, water quality treatment, runoff retention and peak management. • Review of the Stormwater Control Plan (SCP) will include review of Regulated Projects under the Phase II Permit including review of the stormwater control measure sizing, and hydraulic analysis for appropriate infiltration testing biofiltration capacity and treatment volume in line with the Guidance Manual.
• Review of site design, grading, and associated elements for conformance with the project soils report and confirmation of recommendations will be included on the plans. • Project Site Boundary conditions will be evaluated to maintain continuity with surrounding properties and maintain existing drainage patterns
• Review of associated off-site improvement plans (if any).

Off-Site and Public Improvements Plan Review
Engineering reviews of off-site and public improvements, such as street and utility improvements, generally include the following:
• Review of plans and profiles for street and utilities • Review of existing conditions, including subsurface utilities and right-of-way analysis • Analysis of utility conflicts
• Perform or evaluate required studies, such as hydrology and hydraulics reports, and capacity studies
• Ensure ADA compliance for pedestrian routes
• Conformance check with all City standards and design criteria • Conformance check with infrastructure and any existing Master Plans.

Civil Plan Review Approach
• Each plan review will consist of a complete red-lined set of drawings and any accompanying reports, together with a comment letter. The reviewed documents and letter will be returned to the City. At the City’s discretion, the comment letter and red-lined documents may be submitted electronically to the design consultant to expedite the review process. • CSG is available to meet with the applicant/representative and City staff to review comments or to delineate the standards which are not being met, in order to facilitate timely completion of the review and meeting the maximum goal of two plan checks. 207

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 29 • Confirm that the developer has obtained necessary permits or approvals from other public agencies when needed.
• Review and recommend approval of engineering bond estimates and subdivision guarantees. Assist the staff in preparing subdivision improvement agreements, other agreements (including stormwater treatment measure and landscape maintenance agreements), and staff reports.
• Meet with developers, consultants, and other agencies on behalf of staff, as requested.

Digital Plan Review
CSG has been performing digital plan reviews with various municipalities including the Cities of San Leandro, Mountain View, Rohnert Park, Belmont, San Mateo, Pacifica, and San Carlos. Reviews have been performed utilizing Bluebeam or Bluebeam Studio for instant collaboration with various other departments.

Staffing
• All plan reviews will be conducted by a State of California licensed civil engineer or under the supervision of a licensed civil engineer.
• Each project review is assigned to a plan reviewer with oversight by the main point of contact. The assigned plan reviewer will be committed to the project and will furnish all subsequent reviews for the project. It is the goal of CSG Consultants to provide, when practical, a cradle-to-grave approach for project review, where the same review team is assigned to the project from start to finish, including construction inspections.
• Provide specialized qualified licensed engineers to assist in any structural reviews, for any of the assigned projects.
• The review team will be available for applicant inquiries or conferences during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM. Web conferences, fax, and conference calls are optional forms of communications between the Consultant and City staff.

CITY SURVEYOR & MAP REVIEW SERVICES
The traditional role of the City Surveyor is to ensure that maps, legal descriptions, and plats prepared for private developments or public projects are technically correct. However, more often than not, the City Surveyor also routinely ensures that the documents are comprehensive of City requirements and completed in accordance with the California Subdivision Map Act and local ordinances and are in substantial conformance with the approved entitlement
application (traditionally the functions of
the City Engineer). The City Surveyor’s
functions can vary, but typically include
evaluating the documents submitted by
applicants for completeness, reviewing and
providing written comments and ‘redlines’,
and signing final documents/certificates or
mylar prints of subdivision maps once
approved. When complicated or unusual
circumstances arise, the City Surveyor often
meets with and advises the City Engineer,
the City Attorney, and/or private applicants
and their surveyor.

On rare occasions, the City surveyor may
also be directed to set street monuments not set by private development surveyors or accidentally removed during public construction projects.
208

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 30 Detailed Scope of Work
CSG will review Final/Tract and Parcel Maps, Amending Maps, Certificates of Correction, Street Dedications and Public Easement Grants (Plats/Legal Descriptions), Lot Line Adjustments and Lot Mergers (Plats/Legal descriptions, and complete certificates), or other documents for compliance and conformance with the following:
• Approved Tentative Map (if any)
• Conditions of Approval (if any)
• The California Subdivision Map Act
• The Professional Land Surveyor’s Act
• Industry Standards and Local Practice
• Title information for the property, including existing easements and any other relevant land encumbrances, based on information contained in a preliminary title report (PTR) and record documents to be furnished by the applicant (a hyperlinked PTR typically works best) • Survey and miscellaneous information presented on parent record maps and deeds of the subject and adjacent properties

Mapping Review Approach
New map submittals will be coordinated with the proposed project manager. At the time of new submittals, the applicant may decide to meet with the City and CSG’s project manager via Zoom or Microsoft (MS) Teams, or in person, to briefly present the project and discuss any challenges.

Upon receipt of the submittal package, CSG will perform a cursory review to determine if the submittal is complete or let the applicant know if additional documents are needed for the review. The documents required to initiate a mapping review consist of the following (minimum):
 Final or Parcel Map (or plat & legal description) in a PDF format  A hyperlinked Preliminary Title Report, dated within 60 days  Closure Calculations
 Any other record document used in the preparation of the new map or plat and legal description that is not readily available via the hyperlinked Title Report Depending on the City’s preference and project timeline, we may require missing documents immediately or address the matter in the form of a general comment with the first review.

Under the direct supervision of Ms. Truong, map reviews are typically completed by our team within ten (10) to fifteen (15) working days after receipt of a complete submittal package. Redlined documents and written comments are prepared for each review and are returned electronically via email. Subsequent submittals are typically reviewed within five (5) working days, but additional review time may be requested depending on project size, complexity, and applicant responsiveness to the first review. Conversely, expedited plan reviews may be performed upon request in certain cases.
209

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 33 OPTIONAL AS-NEEDED SERVICES: CODE ENFORCEMENT
Code enforcement activities are a crucial service to ensure not only public health and safety, but also to enhance economic development throughout a community. Blighted conditions such as graffiti on public and private properties, illegal dumping, vacant lots, overgrown vegetation, deteriorated building exteriors, missing or broken windows and screens, foreclosures, illegal signs, and inoperable vehicles all contribute to a community’s negatively to its image and deterioration. Municipal Code standards are enforced to ensure that communities remain attractive, inviting, and safe. Well-kept communities help to maintain or increase values, discourage crime, encourage quality development while preserving the overall quality of life in the community. And supportive education of community members plays an essential role in a jurisdiction’s ability to self-regulate and reduce program demand.

As consultants, CSG and its Code Enforcement Officers are driven to provide a high standard of performance and program delivery. CSG staff are highly skilled, experienced, culturally sensitive, and possess various certifications such as PC 832, California Association of Code Enforcement Officers (CACEO) or equivalent. In addition, their computer literacy includes familiarity with Central Square (TrakIt), Accela, iWorQ, Tyler, Microsoft Office programs (Word, Outlook, and Excel), and other current code enforcement databases or supportive platforms.

As part of their normal duties, CSG officers enforce state/local laws; issue Administrative Citations; author reports, can testify at hearings, and perform other duties as may be required. CSG has Code Enforcement Officers who are bilingual in Spanish, who can be assigned to meet the City’s needs. While each officer has their own background and style, to be successful in their duties, all CSG team members are articulate, coachable, driven, effective, and relatable.

PROPOSAL TO THE CITY OF SOLEDAD

FOR PROFESSIONAL BUILDING, PLANNING PLAN REVIEW, AND BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES 36 OPTIONAL AS-NEEDED SERVICES: DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION Training for City Staff and/or Applicants on Code Updates and Review Processes:

CSG’s staff is actively engaged with ICC, CALBO, and multiple ICC Chapters, staying at the forefront of legislative bill tracking and implementation. When a bill passes, we ensure our client agencies remain compliant. Our involvement also extends to understanding surrounding jurisdictions, fostering consistency and collaboration in code compliance to facilitate a streamlined process.

Development of Permit Fee Schedules, Permit Software Configuration, and Online Permitting Processes:

CSG brings extensive experience and expertise in permit workflows, providing valuable recommendations throughout the administrative code compliance process from start to finish. Our goal is not only to ensure code compliance, but also to create a smooth, user-friendly, and positive experience for applicants. We prioritize accurate document control, ensuring all legal documents meet the requirements of reporting agencies, including assessors’ offices.

Additionally, we have in-depth knowledge of handouts, forms, and applications that align with code and signature requirements, making it easier for applicants to navigate their projects. Our GreenVue software enhances digital compliance, allowing applicants to track their project’s progress in real time for a seamless and transparent experience. Having provided services to client agencies throughout California, CSG’s staff has become adept at using a variety of software systems, including TRAKit, SIRE, and Bluebeam.

CSG provides essential information to ensure the community and applicants have everything they need readily available on the Building Department webpage. From building permit
applications to sample handouts and project-specific details, we help streamline the process, promote code compliance, and support the development of a cohesive and well-planned community.

A recent, notable example of CSG providing this service is for the City of Mountain House. As one of the fastest growing areas in California, Mountain House’s transition to Cityhood occurred on July 1, 2024. CSG was selected to help establish and support the new City’s building department, which
required considerable planning and coordination in advance of their incorporation to assure the department was fully functional by July 1st. Several months prior, CSG staff worked alongside City staff to establish the Building Department—creating necessary forms, documents, software implementation (GreenVue), fee development (in conjunction with the City’s fee consultant), development of policies and procedures (working with the City and City Attorney), and assisting with the setting up of the physical Building Department in the provided City space.

Additionally, CSG’s IT staff, with direction and insights from CSG’s building staff, developed a new Building Department website that is used by applicants today. This user-friendly, intuitive, and informative webpage has helped the City streamline new permit applications, while allowing applicants to view and stay up to date on the status of current projects. CSG assisted in the creation of both the Building Department webpage and the City’s Electronic Permitting System for applicants, both of which can be viewed by following the links below:
