Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Title: Amendment 4 to Professional Services Agreement with Jviation for Hangar Build RFP and Hangar Lane Repair RFB
Location: 1901 Lisa Maloff Way, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 Responsible Staff Member: John Dickinson, Airport Manager (530) 542-6182 Background: The Lake Tahoe Airport (Airport), following Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulation and guidance, seeks to maintain its financial self-sufficiency through the safe and orderly development of aviation property resulting in increased airport revenues and enhanced non-Fixed Base Operator services for its users, which will not hinder General Aviation traffic to the airport but will provide economic relief to the airports operating budget. This also will not increase traffic to the area but provide storage for aircraft that already visit the area.
The Hangar Taxilanes and Taxiway D Rehabilitation project were originally designed with six schedules of work, Schedule Ia, Ib, Ic, Id, and Ie, for the rehabilitation of the five (5) Hangar Taxilanes and Schedule II for the rehabilitation of Taxiway D. In July 2022, an RFP was advertised for a General Construction Contractor on this project under South Lake Tahoe Formal Bid No. 22- 50180046-BN1. On August 16, 2022, bids were received for the project. . Due to the limited availability of funding at the time, only three (3) of the Hangar Taxilanes, Schedule Ia, Ib, and Ic were awarded by the Airport under the Public Works Contract (PWC) No. 22-50180046.
On February 1, 2022, the City Council awarded a 5-Year Master Professional Service to Jviation, a Woolpert Company of Dayton, Ohio for Airport Architectural, Engineering, Construction Management, & Airport DBE Compliance Support Services ending May August 15, 2027.The Master Professional Services contract award followed a competitive bidding process in accordance with the City of South Lake Tahoe and FAA procurement policies.
Issue and Discussion: The Airport plans to issue an amendment to Jviation contract for two new professional services. The first task will entail preparing a Request for Proposals for the development of an airport hangar on airport property. To ensure a process that is compliant with the FAA regulation and guidance, City procurement requirements and Airport governing documents, Jviation will assist with the development and issuance of the RFP. An essential element of the RFP will include a draft Ground Lease Agreement that addresses items including but not limited to:
Lease Terms and Conditions
Land Value and Development Rights
Environmental Review (CEQA & NEPA)
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) process
15 Council Agenda Report March 28, 2023 Page 2 of 3
Site Preparation
Access Changes
Entitlement Timeline
Design Standards
Maintenance of Facility
Use of Ramp
Reversion Clause
Jviation will develop the procurement timelines and provide necessary procurement documents, assemble, review, tabulate responses, and provide documentation of the selection process.
The second task is a to prepare a contract bid document for the remaining work at the Hangar Taxilanes and Taxiway D Rehabilitation Project. The remaining two (2) Hangar Taxilanes and Taxiway D are some of the worst pavement on the airfield and are rapidly deteriorating with significant vegetative growth occurring in the pavement cracks. This project will consist of full-depth pavement removal by roto milling off the approximately 3-inches of existing asphalt surface course.
The existing base course will be reshaped and recompacted, and any soft spots in the subgrade will be removed and replaced with suitable material and recompacted. A new 3-inch Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) surface course will be paved back to existing grades. After the placement of the new HMA, temporary and final pavement markings will be applied to the taxilanes and tied into the existing pavement markings on Taxiway D.
The Airport wishes to re-package the re-habilitation of the remaining two (2) Hangar Taxilanes and Taxilane D under a new Project, and issue a Request for Bids to obtain a competitive lowest, responsible bid price for a General Construction Contractor to complete the Project.
To ensure a process that is compliant with the FAA regulation and guidance, City procurement requirements and Airport governing documents, Jviation will prepare Construction Plans, Contract Documents, and Technical Specifications (PS&E) to rebid the project. Jviation will also provide Construction Administration, and On-Site Construction Coordination services. and quality assurance testing during construction.
Financial Implications: The Airport anticipates long-term increased revenues from the land lease associated with the hangar development. The Airport may recover this contract value through the course of the lease negotiation. The professional services fee for the preparation of the airport hangar development RFP is $82,002. The Airport anticipates it would recover this cost through the increased revenues from the hangar leases associated with the adjacent hangar tenants. The accompanying resolution appropriates $82,002 from the Airport available fund balance into the Airport Administration account 501-05110-42030 Technical Services for this professional services task.
The professional services fee for the preparation of PS&E and construction support services is $68,035.75. Left over monies from the first phase of the project was $146,020.82 for construction and $7,364.32 for design, which will help the airport finish the project. Mid-Year appropriations have funded the construction side of the hangar lanes in the amount of $550,000.00 and the design phase in the amount of $50,000.00 from the Airport available fund balance. An additional $12,000 in budget appropriations is requested into the project account 501-80046-48020 to complete the design phase.
16 Council Agenda Report March 28, 2023 Page 3 of 3
These additional project requests will be funded from the airport available fund balance with a $5,000.00 contingency for the Hangar Taxilanes rehabilitation project into the account 501-80046- 48020 for any discrepancies within the contract, no general funds will be used.
Environmental Considerations: For the Hangar Lanes and Delta Taxiway all environmental permits were previously acquired prior to the bidding of City of South Lake Tahoe Formal Bid No. 22-50180046-BN1, including a TRPA Grading Permit, NEPA Categorical Exclusion, and CEQA Categorical Exemption under CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c) (Existing Facilities). Some of these permits will need to be amended to reflect the new construction timeframe.
For the Hanger Build Project, the scope of the RFP will include obtaining the necessary environmental and TRPA permits. There are no environmental considerations related to this to RFP. Upon award of the RFP, the successful proposer will be responsible for all required environmental reviews and permits. This action is statutorily exempt from review under CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies).
Policy Implications: These two projects will help to maintain the Airport infrastructure and to generate additional revenues as a result of the potential Hanger development for financial sustainability of the Airport.

Special Considerations
Quality Assurance Testing. Quality assurance testing will be performed by an independent testing firm under the direct supervision of the Engineer. Certified materials technicians will perform the necessary material quality assurance testing for the following items, as detailed in the project specifications:
Excavation and Embankment
Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM)
Caltrans Aggregate Base Course
Caltrans Plant Mix Pavements
Structural Portland Cement Concrete
Assumptions
The scope of services described previously, and the associated fees, are based on the following rates and assumed responsibilities of the Engineer and Sponsor.
1. It is anticipated there will be a minimum number of trips and site visits to the airport to facilitate the completion of the various phases listed in this scope. Each trip is anticipated to be a two-day trip and the number of trips are included at the end of each phase above.
2. The Sponsor will provide existing mapping data including as-builts available for the project areas, aerial orthoimagery, subsurface conditions information such as prior geotechnical investigations in the project area and other available information in the possession of the Sponsor.
3. The Engineer will provide additional base mapping of existing topography, planimetric features and underground utilities needed in the design phase of the project.
4. The Sponsor will coordinate with tenants as required to facilitate field evaluations and construction.
5. All engineering work will be performed using accepted engineering principles and practices and provide quality products that meet or exceed industry standards. Dimensional criteria will not be evaluated or changed as part of this project, as the pavement proposed to be rehabilitated with this Project is based on, and will be put back to the existing pavement dimensions.
6. The Engineer will utilize the following plan standards for the project:
Plans will be prepared using the Engineer’s standards, unless the Sponsor provides its own standards upon Notice to Proceed.
Plan elevations will be vertical datum NAVD 88 derived from the existing control network.
Plan coordinates will be based on horizontal datum NAD 83/2011 State Plane Coordinates derived from the existing control network.
All plans will be stamped and signed by a state-licensed Professional Engineer, or Professional Land Surveyor, as required.

Jviation Project No. 10017613
Hangar Taxilanes and Taxilane D Rehabilitation
March 10, 2023
Plans prepared by subconsultants will be prepared using the same base maps, the same coordinate systems and the same plan layout and format as plans prepared by the Engineer.
7. The Engineer will utilize the following assumptions when preparing the project manual for bidding and construction of the project:
The project manual Contract Documents and Technical Specifications will be developed jointly by the Sponsor and the Engineer.
The Sponsor Engineer is responsible for developing the contents of the document and including the Front-End documents which will be supplied by the Sponsor. City of South Lake Tahoe General Provisions and required contract language will be used.
All deliverables will be provided by the Engineer to the Sponsor electronically, in PDF format.
Per negotiations with the Sponsor on March 8, 2023, the crossed-out items were adjusted in the scope of work for this item.
8. The Engineer must maintain records of design analyses and calculations consistent with typical industry standards.
9. Because the Engineer has no control over the cost of construction-related labor, materials, or equipment, the Engineer's opinions of probable construction costs will be made on the basis of experience and qualifications as a practitioner of his/her profession. The Engineer does not guarantee that proposals for construction, construction bids, or actual project construction costs will not vary from Engineer's estimates of construction cost.
10. It is assumed the Sponsor will hire a Qualified Storm Water Practitioner (QSP) to perform oversight of Contractor SWPPP compliance, including but not limited to the required water quality testing and BMP inspections during construction.
11. The Engineer’s scope of services did not include any geotechnical exploration of the subsurface conditions, or any verification of the existing taxilane pavement sections or design parameters utilized in development of the recommended rehabilitation being implemented with this project. All existing geotechnical/pavement section information, pavement section design parameters, and the corresponding proposed rehabilitation are solely based on the information and recommendations provided in the Lake Tahoe Airport Pavement Evaluation Study and Pavement Maintenance/Management Plan, prepared by Reinard W. Brandley, Consulting Airport Engineer, dated August 2017.
Additional Services
The following items are not included under this agreement but will be considered as extra work:

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Title: Ordinance Amending South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.55.230 (Second Reading) Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Madison Dederick, Assistant Planner Background: The City of South Lake Tahoe recognizes that events provide many social, cultural, and economic benefits which enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors. Under the direction of the City Council, staff has worked on creating a singular streamlined permitting process for all events. On February 14, 2023, the City Council considered an ordinance with proposed amendments to South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.55.230. The City Council directed staff to remove standard 6.55.230.A.4.m from the ordinance which limited the number of arts and craft booths to nine.
Issue and Discussion: The first reading of this ordinance was held on March 14, 2023.
Following staff’s presentation, public comment and Council deliberation, the Council, by a vote in favor, adopted the first reading (by title only).
Financial Implications: There are no financial implications to amending the City Code. If the Ordinance is adopted at second reading on March 28, 2023, the new the Major and Minor Special Event application fees will be formally adopted on April 4, 2023, during the second meeting for the Master Fee schedule item.
Environmental Considerations: This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines sections 15323 (normal operations of facilities for public gatherings) and 15304(e) (minor alterations of land for temporary uses).
Policy Implementations: The proposed amendments to the South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.55.230 would create a single streamlined permitting procedure that would be processed by the Development Service Department. Streamlining the event procedures aligns with Goal 3.3 of the City’s Strategic Plan and with Policy ED-1.10 of the City’s General Plan by expanding and supporting event opportunities.

Special Event Guidelines
Major or Minor
Special events can include a broad range of activities, all of which require unique review and consideration. To help process applications as efficiently as possible the city has established two levels of permit review – major or minor. A minor special event permit is intended for events that are specific to a group of people and has minimal off-site impacts to the surrounding area; a major special event permit is intended for large events which attract a range of individuals and is typically widely advertised to all residence and visitors. The Director of Development service has the discretion to require a major special event permit for any event if they find that the event involves a special circumstance or has the potential for unique or unanticipated impacts.
To differentiate between the two levels of permit review, any one of the following event elements prompt the requirement for a major special event permit:
Road closure or detour
Use of city resources (i.e., barricades, signs, traffic control, etc.) Has the potential for more than 500 attendees
Conducted over a period of four or more consecutive days Special Event Areas
Special Event Areas are a series of designated parcels which have a standing permit with specific conditions and guidelines for holding events. In approved Special Event Areas, a permit from the Development Services Department is not required; however, the event is subject to the conditions of the Special Event Area permit and approval from the Area’s governing body/management.
The following are current permitted Special Event Areas within the city:
Heavenly Village: Contact the Park Avenue Development and Management Association (PADMA) about holding events
Ski Run Boulevard: Contact the Ski Run District Board about holding events Inspection of Event Sites
All major special events will require an inspection of the completed venue setup prior to the event. The inspection will be conducted by the City of South Lake Tahoe Building Official, Fire Inspector, and/or other city staff depending on the nature of the event. Inspections will be included in the conditions of approval on an agreed upon date with the applicant. If an inspection is necessary outside of regular staff work hours, additional fees will apply. 143

The times and locations of event activities shall be planned to avoid primary access routes to neighborhoods and businesses. Public transit in the area shall be considered to minimize disruptions to bus routes. The event shall take appropriate measures to reduce parking impacts and overflow into surrounding neighborhoods. The city may require no parking signage to reduce potential traffic impacts in certain areas. The applicant must include consideration of how participants and spectators will travel to the event.

Lighting should be directed downward and should not produce off-site lighting impacts.
Sustainability, Waste Management and Edible Food Recovery Plan: City Resolution 2011- 40 requires all city sponsored events to utilize the South Tahoe Refuse Special Event Recycling Quick Kit Program. Events not sponsored by the City but authorized by a Special Event Permit are required to identify effective waste management that will result in minimal impacts to the event facility and surrounding environment. An effective Waste Management Plan goes beyond providing recycling containers on-site and indicating trash and refuse will be collected. The city is located on the shore of Lake Tahoe, which has been designated an Outstanding National Resource Water, a rare and special designation. The city encourages event producers/applicants to maximize diversion and minimize waste. Diversion is maximized via recycling and composting. Food-only can be gathered and brought to a composter by the local waste hauler. The waste hauler does not accept single use foodservice ware labeled “compostable”. Microplastics are being found in Lake Tahoe. Effective waste management also minimizes all single use plastic and encourages paper when possible. City Code Chapter 4.175 describes Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations. This includes a ban on expanded polystyrene (sometimes called Styrofoam) containers provided by vendors. It prevents vendors from providing single use foodservice ware except upon request. It bans single use plastic water bottles (less than one gallon) from being distributed at a city facility or city-affiliated event and all city concessionaires, lessees, licensees, and permittees for facility use, and special events, effective April 22, 2023. This does not apply in cases of emergency, as designated by the City Manager. Additionally, Senate Bill 1383 mandates edible food recovery for large events of over 2000 attendees per day of operation, beginning in 2024. Event organizers must find a recovery organization to donate food to and must document the type and weight of food donated and report to the City’s Sustainability Coordinator, in the Office of the City Manager.
Special Events Using City Resources
Applicants may request any of the city resources listed below; however, request of city resources does not guarantee approval to use requested resources and fees may apply.
Police: The city may require the presence of police to ensure public safety. A safety and security plan will be prepared for all major special event permits. Only Police or others designated by Police have authority to undertake traffic control duties in the City of South Lake Tahoe. Police must be on location where there are road closures. Any event using streets may not begin until the senior police officer on-site ensures that the route is secured, and all required resources are in place.

The following is provided as guidance to event planners and promoters. The city assumes no liability or risk in offering the following guidance regarding events and encourages all event promoters/applicants to seek legal advice regarding the type and amount of insurance necessary to fully protect the event promoters/applicants. Managing risk of damage to property and injury to persons is an important part of planning an event.

Sustainability and Waste Management
See Special Event Guidelines Page 8
The applicant shall provide waste management plan demonstrating that the event will result in minimal impacts to the event facility and surrounding environment.

Effective waste management also minimizes all single use plastic and encourages paper when possible. City Code Chapter 4.175 describes Polystyrene and Plastic Food Packaging Regulations.
This includes a ban on expanded polystyrene (sometimes called Styrofoam) containers provided by vendors. It prevents vendors from providing single use foodservice ware except upon request. It bans single use plastic water bottles (less than one gallon) from being distributed at a city facility or city affiliated event and all city concessionaires, lessees, licensees, and permittees for facility use, and special events.
Senate Bill 1383 mandates edible food recovery for large events of over 2000 attendees per day of operation, beginning in 2024. Event organizers must find a recovery organization to donate food to and must document the type and weight of food donated.

Executive Summary: Since 1998, South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.10.450 has regulated outdoor arts and craft shows, which are defined as being for the sole purpose of exhibit, display and sale of hand-produced arts and crafts, as well as fine art. All temporary arts and crafts shows are required to obtain a permit and are subject to provisions such as merchandise and artist/vendor standards, appearance standards, operational standards, maximum number of shows, and eligibility requirements.
On February 14, 2023, City Council requested that an item be brought back to discuss potential amendments to this ordinance.

Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Title: Discussion of South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.10.450 (Temporary Arts and Craft Shows)
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: Madison Dederick, Assistant Planner Background: South Lake Tahoe City Code Section 6.10.450 regulates outdoor arts and craft shows, which is defined as being for the sole purpose of exhibit, display and sale of handproduced arts and crafts, as well as fine art. All temporary arts and crafts shows are required to obtain a permit and are subject to provisions such as merchandise and artist/vendor standards, appearance standards, operational standards, limits on the number of shows, and eligibility requirements.
At the February 14, 2023, City Council meeting, council members directed staff to bring forward a discussion item regarding the regulation of temporary arts and craft shows. Over the years City Council has made amendments to the City Code regulating arts and craft shows, including changes to the frequency, location, and days in which arts and craft shows can be held, as well as adding criteria and standards to review the proposed exhibitors.
Issue and Discussion: The item before the City Council is to discuss City Code Section
6.10.450 (Temporary Arts and Craft Shows) and provide staff with direction. Because this is a land use issue and contained in the Zoning Ordinance, the Planning Commission must consider any change to the regulation and provide a recommendation before Council action.
The City has specifically regulated arts and crafts shows since 1998 and amended these regulations several times. In 2003, Ordinance 937 removed restrictions limiting number of shows each weekend and removed the condition that shows cannot be held on consecutive weekends.
In 2013 the City Council amended the ordinance to limit the total number of shows to 10 for the 2014 season and 8 for the 2015 season and limited the number of arts and crafts shows to be held at any one site during each summer season to four (4). The amendments also added conditions for site size, booth setup, access, sanitary facilities, parking and ingress/egress. In 2015 the ordinance was amended to continue the maximum number of arts and craft shows to be limited to 8 per season and added appearance and quality of merchandise criteria that the promoter is responsible for enforcing.
166
City Council Agenda Report March 28, 2023 Page 2 of 3
Issues that have been raised as part of previous Planning Commission and City Council discussions on arts and crafts shows include:
Merchandise versus arts and crafts. Local businesses and the community have expressed concerns that the merchandise displayed and sold at the arts and crafts shows is not hand-crafted and not fine art.
Competition with existing businesses. Local businesses selling merchandise similar to items displayed and sold at the arts and crafts shows are concerned with the competition presented by the arts and crafts shows. The local businesses pay rent and license fees throughout the year. The arts and crafts shows enjoy the benefits of the wellpopulated summer season, which some local businesses view as an unfair advantage. Effect on neighborhood and community appearance. Community members have expressed concerns about travel trailers parked in the neighborhoods and surrounding areas associated with the participants of the shows. Arts and Crafts shows are typically held in parking lots of existing local businesses. The combination of the display area for the booths and the additional parking required for the show can impact available parking for the local businesses and spill over into residential neighborhoods. Revenue for property owners. Concerns that one or more property owners who previously hosted arts and crafts show lost a source of revenue due to amendments in the code reducing the number of arts and craft shows. Revenue to property owners from arts and crafts show promoters is a rental fee paid by the show promoter to property owners who agree to host the event on their property. The City's most recent code amendments for arts and crafts shows lifted restrictions as to where the shows can be held which provided show promoters more choices where arts and crafts shows may be held. It is up to property owners to choose the rental rate to attract and retain the shows as tenants.
Since the ordinance was last amended, every year from 2016 to 2019 the city only received and issued one temporary arts and craft permit. Each permit was issued to Artist to You, LLC, for four shows to be held the South Tahoe Middle School. In 2020, the city did receive and issue a permit to Artist to You LLC to again hold arts and crafts fairs at the South Tahoe Middle School, however due to COVID-19 the temporary arts and crafts show did not occur. No applications have been received since 2020.
Financial Implications: None.
Environmental Considerations: Providing direction to staff on possible future regulations is not approval of a “project” subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15352 and 15378(a) because it does not commit the agency to a definite course of action or have a potential for resulting in a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Council Agenda Report March 28, 2023
City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Title: Ski Run Business Improvement District Annual Report and Budget Location: Ski Run Blvd
Responsible Staff Member: Ben Hannah, Accountant II (530) 542-6079 Background: On November 19, 2002, City Council formed the Ski Run Business Improvement District (SRBID) by adopting Resolution No. 2002-71. The Ski Run BID was formed under the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989, which is codified at California Streets & Highways Code 36500-36551. This Staff Report has been composed in accordance with Streets & Highways Code 36533 to satisfy the annual requirements for the Ski Run BID.
Issue and Discussion: This item completes the first step of the two-step process listed below as required by Streets & Highways Code sections 36533-36534. Step two, required by Streets & Highways Code section 36535, is scheduled for May 2nd, 2023.
Step 1: Every year the Ski Run BID Advisory Board is required to submit an Annual Report and proposed budget for approval to the City Council (City Ordinance No. 927, Section 2.9). The Council then adopts a “Resolution of Intention”, which indicates the Council’s intention to levy an assessment to the BID members and sets a time and place of a future Public Hearing whereby members of the BID can provide written protests on the content of the Report for the upcoming fiscal year.
Step 2: The City Council must hold a public hearing and shall consider all protests from business owners within the Ski Run Business Improvement District, received either in writing and submitted to the City Clerk prior to the Public Hearing or presented orally at the Public Hearing. If a majority of businesses (based on their BID assessment) do not provide written protests, the Council may adopt a new Resolution confirming the report as originally filed or as changed. This will allow the Finance department to include the BID assessments with the annual business license renewal billing beginning in May for the 2023/2024 business tax year.
Annual Assessments:
1. There are no changes to the boundaries or areas of benefit in the area.
2. The method of assessment for 2023/2024 remains the same as in previous years and is as follows:
a. 25% of the annual Business and Professions Tax and, if applicable b. $2.00 per lineal foot of property frontage on Ski Run Blvd, if the property is owned by a business license holder.
181
Council Agenda Report March 28, 2023
Revenues: The Ski Run BID receives operating revenues from the annual assessments estimated to be $11,500 for business license year 2023/2024 which is slightly lower than the projection for the previous year 2022/2023. Actual business license year 2022/2023 revenues were nearly equal to projections. The projections assume that revenues will remain near prior year actuals for the foreseeable future.
Expenses: BID assessments will continue to be used for the allowable expenses of landscape maintenance which includes lawn care, water, and electricity. The City Public Works Department performs lawn care maintenance for six months beginning May 1st and ending October 31st.
Activities include sprinkler repair, aerating, fertilizing, mowing, clean-up, and debris removal.
Historically, the assessments have not been adequate to fully cover these costs, which would be the case for year 2023/2024 as well.
The proposed budget is based on last year’s actual revenues and expenses. It reflects a projected shortfall of $11,500 compared to $13,900 approved for the prior year General Fund subsidy. The lower actuals in 2022 are due to lower than expected water and utility costs as well as slightly lower labor and equipment repair costs.
Financial Implications: The proposed 2023/2024 Ski Run Landscaping (fund 280) Funding Plan is attached and will be brought back for adoption as part of the fiscal year 2023/2024 City budget. The plan includes the BID assessment funded portion for landscaping and maintenance and the City General fund portion from the Parks Department for landscaping and maintenance.
For fiscal year 2023/2024, staff recommends budgeting $11,500 to be transferred in from the General Fund in order to reflect a true cost and achieve a balanced budget for the Ski Run Business Improvement District.
Environmental Considerations: This is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) (organizational or administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).
Policy Implications: Consistent with the California laws and City policies. 182

Subject: 2023 Ski Run BID Board Report
Dear Mr. Hannah
The Ski Run Business Improvement District Board and contributing members have continued to work with the City of South Lake Tahoe on measures to reduce maintenance costs and improve pedestrian safety. We have been very supportive of the additional stop sign at Tamarack which has dramatically reduced speeds on the street. We have often mentioned that reducing the speed limit from 35MPH to 25MPH would increase safety further on the street and hope that the City will consider this in the future.
About three years ago, the preceding City Manager met with Ski Run residents and business owners in a meet-and-greet setting. The history and general workings of the BID were discussed as well as landscape maintenance, pedestrian safety, lighting, transit, transportation, a public park, mixed-use development, professional job creation, and quality of life in the neighborhood. It was an enlightening meeting for all.
The most important takeaway from the meeting was a question the then City Manager Rush posed that drives to the heart of budget shortfalls that have become common for SRBID in recent years. Mr. Rush wondered if the cost of administration of the BID still balances the benefit of have a few thousand dollars added to the City budget every year that can only be used in one small part of the City. SRBID Board Members would like this question to be considered further.
Update and Report on Accomplishments:
Ski Run BID members continue to pay their annual assessment and continue to champion pedestrian safety improvements with brighter lighting, reduced speed limit and reconfiguration of crosswalk at Pioneer Trail and Ski Run Boulevard.
The big news in 2022 was more events coming to the Special Events area between Larch and Birch. In addition to the Farmers Market and Longest Table, the Boys and Girls Club hosted Brewfest which spanned Ski Run Blvd from Birch to Aspen. Many different City Employees were helpful in confirming that this expanded Special Event area was already approved and helped the Ski Run BID and Friends of Ski Run work with Boys and Girls Club to expand this footprint even further in 2023. We look forward to more events on Ski Run! We are submitting separately a letter from the Friends of Ski Run (501c3) that covers 189
the accomplishments and goals of that organization’s members to create events, Ski Run Park, and vibrancy to the neighborhood.

SRBID Board Members

Subject: Friends of Ski Run Report to the City
Dear Mr. Hannah,
The Friends of Ski Run (501c3) is a volunteer organization of Ski Run business owners, residents, and neighborhood advocates formed to host beneficial events on our street. The group formed as a more capable offshoot of the Ski Run Business Improvement District. FoSR raises funds for events and improvements on the boulevard and advocates for safety improvements and general improvements to the neighborhood.
The Friends of Ski Run (FoSR) is submitting a progress report to the City in conjunction with the Ski Run Business Improvement District (BID) report to give the City a broader picture of happenings in the neighborhood that are not incumbent to the BID.
Accomplishments and Events
● Ski Run Park will be built on the empty lot at 1195 Ski Run this summer. The park will feature a climbing boulder, iconic rope structure, swings, benches, and many natural features. The community around the park site has been engaged in park design and fundraising.
● FoSR holds a special use permit that it uses in part to facilitate the weekly Ski Run Farmers Market run by Bridjet Orr. The market enters its 14th season this year and continues to be a hallmark event, held every Friday from 3-8 pm through the summer. This year, the farmers market will likely double in size on two blocks. The special use permit can be used for other events on the street. FoSR in the past hosted a Rotary fundraiser modeled on Hot August Nights and intends to host an on-street dining fundraiser. ● The Ski Run Presents: speaker series continues to bring interesting and enlightening speakers to various businesses on Ski Run. Shows are either free, or ticket sales go to various charities. ● The second annual Longest Table Dinner had over 300 participants. All money raised went to Ski Run Park. ● Tahoe BrewFest came to Ski Run and raised money for the Boys and Girls Club. The event used the street for three blocks on Ski Run and brought hundreds of participants and great energy to the street.
Advocacy and Change
FoSR Members call for the following to help make Ski Run a distinct district in the City that is a vibrant place to gather and live.
● Pedestrian safety improvements. The speed limit should be reduced to 25 mph, the crosswalk at Pioneer Trail and Ski Run Boulevard should be reconfigured to improve driver visibility of the crosswalk, and traffic calming is needed at the short-cutters intersection at Tamarack and Ski Run. ● Improve lighting. Liberty Utilities can assist the City in retrofitting existing pathway light fixtures to make it safer, and more inviting at night, and meet city dark sky goals. ● A unified vision plan to encourage mixed-use redevelopment, year-round businesses, and a more diverse mix of housing options to the street.
● Additional public parking is essential to transforming the boulevard into a vibrant main street for South Lake Tahoe. Increased availability of public parking could also lower the barrier to mixed-use redevelopment of residential properties by reducing the requirement for onsite parking. ● Consider replacing grass on Ski Run with an alternative that reduces water, maintenance, and fertilizer use.
FoSR thanks the City for the partnership spurred by creation of the Ski Run Business Improvement District. Ski Run has a vibrant future. We will work side-by-side with the City to bring more fun, options, and safety to the area.
Sincerely,
Chris McNamara, President

2022 is in the books, and wow, what an ending! That was the most snow fall on New Year’s Eve in my 27 years with the Police Department. A big “thank you” to the entire PD team who made it to work that night and throughout the series of winter storms. I’d also like to acknowledge and thank all our City Public Works partners who kept the streets plowed and our cars on the road through it all. The entire fleet takes a beating during these prolonged storm events and we really appreciate everything they do.
The public safety radio system replacement project (approved by City Council in 2020) is almost done, but not quite. Testing should begin in the first quarter of 2023. Thanks to everyone involved on that project (especially Fire Bat. Chief Jay Manning).
Our new CAD/RMS system (approved by City Council in 2021) went live on December 14th, 2022. That marked the end of our 22 years using Cyrun/Alliance. Getting RIMS installed and launching it was a lot more work than we anticipated. Too many stories to tell about it, and I’m so thankful for everyone who made it happen. Special thanks to Lt. Roberson, Det. Morrison, Dispatch Supervisor Gard, and City IT (Vinnie, Gabe, and Sebastian).
In September, City Council approved the addition of an Administrative Lieutenant. This essentially replaces the police Captain position that was cut in 2012 and helps fill a big need at the Department. Their support for that position is greatly appreciated and will be good for the Department and the community.
City Manager Irvin created the “Employee Excellence Awards” in 2022. At the first annual all hands staff meeting/awards ceremony in October 2022, the “Aspen Team” award was given to the Detective and Patrol Division for their great work in 2021 and 2022. Lt. Roberson was awarded the top individual “Sugar Pine Award” for his great work and incredible dedication to service. Both awards were well deserved, congratulations! All the while, great police work and service to this community was carried out every day. The “daily grind” never slows. In fact, it feels like more and more demands and expectations are placed on this profession than ever before. But with support from our community and City Council I know we’ll be prepared to meet the challenges in 2023.
As always, to the employees of the Police Department, thank you.
I’m looking forward to 2023 and so humbled and proud to be your Chief. The work you do matters. Do it with honor, empathy, and compassion. And most importantly, be safe.

Patrol Division
Patrol Operations
The Patrol Division is the workhorse of the SLTPD. Typically the largest division in a law enforcement agency, patrol officers respond to incredibly diverse calls for service. It is not uncommon for a patrol officer to respond to fights, traffic issues, medical aids, domestic violence calls, alcohol and drug issues, homeless calls, burglary/robbery alarms and car crashes in a single shift. Patrol officers never know what calls they may be sent to when they show up for work, and might also handle neighbor disputes, code violations, mutual aid requests, fraud/identity theft, child/elder abuse and many other unpredictable calls. The patrol division has the bulk of community contacts, and various specialties exist within the division (School Resource Officer, Traffic/Motor Officer, Homeless Liaison Officer, K9, to name a few). 911 calls and public safety are the priority of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, and the Patrol Division strives to make this their specialty through training, community contacts, 911 response, and teamwork.

School Resource Officer (SRO)
The South Lake Tahoe Police Department School Resource
Officer (SRO), Officer Nixon, works in collaboration with the Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD) to create a safe learning environment for the students and staff of South Tahoe High School, South Tahoe Middle School, Bijou Elementary and Tahoe Valley Elementary. The role of the SRO is rooted in the three key principles: safety, education, and mentorship.
The SRO is a visible law enforcement presence on campus to deter, prevent, and respond to criminal activity. The SRO enforces all applicable state and local laws within SLTPD jurisdictional boundaries and assists outside law enforcement agencies as needed. The SRO investigates criminal offenses on and around the school campus. The SRO is a resource with respect to delinquency prevention to students, staff and the community. The SRO advises school officials on law-related matters, helps assess school safety needs, and serves as a vital link to other emergency personnel. SRO duties include but are not limited to the following:
• Provides for safety and protection of students and staff when necessary
• Acts as an advisor and conflict mediator to faculty and students. Faculty and students are encouraged to seek advice from the SRO so that issues can be addressed in a positive, trusting atmosphere before it develops into more serious problems. • Provide a Law Enforcement resource to students, teachers, school administrators and parents to increase student awareness about personal safety, crime prevention, drug/alcohol prevention, internet safety, conflict resolution, violence prevention, peer mediation, and other related topics through formal and informal instructional strategies. • Assist School Administration in developing and implementing campus safety plans
• Create a safe learning environment and deter misconduct by remaining highly visible on the school campus.
In 2022, the South Lake Tahoe Police Department and SRO Nixon investigated over 300 incidents within LTUSD. SRO Nixon confiscated more than 20 vapes in addition to marijuana, tobacco and alcohol throughout the year. The most notable case was when a sexual predator from Michigan began communicating with a LTUSD student via social media. SRO Nixon learned of the incident and immediately reached out to the SLTPD Detective division and FBI to assist with the investigation. The suspect in the case was ultimately arrested and is currently in Federal prison.

Field Training Program
The purpose of the Field Training Program is to prepare new officers with the training necessary to function as a solo beat officer. The training cycle consists of seventeen weeks (680 hours) of intensive on-the-job training and daily performance evaluations. Our training is conducted and staffed by four field training officers (FTOs) and one FTO Sergeant.
Field training officers have the dual responsibility of providing police service in their assigned beats, as well as conducting training and evaluations for new officers. Field training sergeants are responsible for the supervision of all personnel assigned to their teams and for coordinating and supervising the on-the-job training of recruit officers.
Officers are required to meet specific performance standards in thirty-one performance categories before being certified for solo patrol duty. After completion of the FTO program, each officer is assigned to a patrol team. Officers who have performed at an acceptable level and pass their eighteen-month probationary period are recommended for retention as permanent employees.
In 2022, four newly hired officers successfully completed the South Lake Tahoe Police Department field training program and are currently assigned to the patrol division.

National Night Out
National Night Out is a nationwide outreach event designed to bring First Responders and communities together. All branches of first response, along with other nonprofits, support services and other entities gathered in August to greet citizens.
The turnout was the biggest in years, and a steady flow of visitors engaged officers in discussions about community issues, problem solving, and education.
Families met officers and learned the tools we use to respond to emergencies. Equipment was demonstrated and agencies came together to present their roles during a crisis.
Many questions were asked and many friendships were made. We are looking forward to this event next year!

Patrol Division
Patrol Operations - Traffic Unit
The SLTPD Traffic Division consists of one patrol officer with ancillary duties of traffic enforcement and one patrol sergeant. The traffic unit fields various traffic and parking complaints and assists regular patrol in addressing these concerns. The patrol officer is assigned to a traffic motorcycle during months of good weather, allowing them to better traverse the roads to find and address traffic concerns.
The unit has the responsibility to respond to and investigate major/fatal injury collisions. Members of the unit are trained in traffic collision investigation and the use of total station diagramming.
Major accomplishments for 2022:
- Appointed a new officer to traffic motor duties.
- Acquired a new traffic motorcycle to replace the current motor, which was over 10 years old - Completed various special details addressing traffic issues such as pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, and DUI drivers. These details were paid for by our CA OTS grant - Acquired two new radar and message trailers for traffic enforcement - Wrote and was awarded an additional CA OTS grant for $65,000 to continue targeted traffic enforcement to address traffic issues involving pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, and DUI drivers. The grant will also allow the police department to purchase new lidar and radar units, as well as roadway lighting to assist with traffic collision investigation.

K9 Unit
The K9 unit is an extremely valuable asset to both the Police Department and the community. Currently, SLTPD is the
only law enforcement agency on the
south shore of the lake with K9s available on a regular basis. El Dorado County Sheriff has multiple K9s on the west
slope, but do not staff K9s at the lake.
On the Nevada side, Douglas County
Sheriff, also has multiple K9s however,
like EDSO they are usually staffed in the
valley of Gardnerville/Minden. For
these reasons, South Lake Tahoe PD’s
K9 unit is requested for assistance on a
regular basis by not only SLTPD, but
neighboring agencies as well.
The use of a K9 can aid law enforcement in multiple facets. SLTPD K9’s are trained in narcotic detection, article searching, and suspect tracking/apprehension. The K9 unit continues to train on a bi-weekly basis.
Their training is coordinated by Gregg Tawney, owner of DTAC-K9. Tawney is a retired Elk Grove PD Sgt. with over 20 years of police K9 handling and training experience. Training is conducted with multiple other agencies which allows for developing professional K9 contacts throughout the greater Sacramento region. Unfortunately, both SLTPD’s K9 handlers suffered on duty injuries during 2022. After a lengthy recovery, both handlers are back to work, serving the community. Officer Wilson and K9 Rocky work dayshift hours during the week, while Officer Miller and K9 Cayden work graveyards on the weekends.

Crisis Response Unit (SWAT / CNT)
Patrol Division
Crisis Response Unit (SWAT / CNT)
The SLTPD’s Crisis Response Unit is tasked with handling crises which are outside the ability of normal patrol officers to resolve. These can include a variety of high-risk events. Public safety is the unwavering priority of the CRU. The Crisis Response Unit is divided into two synergistic branches: The Special Weapons &
Tactics Team (SWAT) and the Crisis Negotiations
Team (CNT). The CNT focuses on communication
with the subject(s) while the SWAT team handles tactics and strategy. The two branches focus simultaneously on non-violent surrender but must be prepared for criminals who decide not to give up and are willing to endanger the public.
SWAT and CNT work together in conjunction with the Patrol Division, the Detective Division and other allied agencies. The capability of the CRU to apply negotiations-based approaches with tactical resolutions is time-tested. SWAT is a hard-earned specialty within any law enforcement agency, and the SLTPD is no exception. Admission to SWAT is purely on a volunteer basis with no pay incentive. The testing process is rigorous, combining endurance and strength, PT testing with handgun and rifle qualification courses and an in-depth oral panel covering a variety of questions. The candidates each undergo a review process as the final step before being welcomed onto the team. The average age of a SWAT operator on the Crisis Response Unit is 38 years old, and the average SWAT officer has 12 years in law enforcement.
Due to the high-risk nature of the CRU’s work, we interact with the public on a regular basis. Our team has met with schools to prepare for active shooter responses, has done community fundraisers and awareness presentations, threat assessments for local businesses and critical infrastructure and simple community Q&A meetings. The team’s size, appearance and tactics are all directed at resolving a given situation with minimal (if any) use of force. Great thought is put into the uniforms, vehicles, weapons, public interaction and tactics used. The SWAT operators cover a variety of missions. Below are a sampling of situations SWAT trains to resolve:

Because of this, the team has various specialties, each of which takes time and experience to master:
The following graphic depicts a five-year trend for how the team is utilized, and how the team’s mission changes depending on legislative and country-wide crime trends.
It is difficult to anticipate what crises may occur,
when they may happen and what types of threat the
public will face. The team trains every other week in
a large variety of skills and disciplines. The team has a checklist of over 100 competencies which we must
train on every year.
Armed & dangerous barricaded subjects continue to
be the number one reason the team is mobilized. Below is a picture of an operator conducting medical skills, a grenade encountered during a standoff with
an armed subject, and an image of an armed burglar
hiding in an attic located with the help of a thermal
camera.
The Crisis Response Unit continues to prioritize community outreach, and frequently answers questions and discusses equipment with the public to demystify the profession and emphasize trust.

Gang Unit
Gang Unit History & Mission
The SLTPD’s Gang Unit is tasked with monitoring,
investigating and enforcing laws pertaining to organized criminal groups. Though traditional Gang Units focus on criminal street gangs, the SLTPD investigates a wider array of crimes and organizations and follows a “task force” model of leadership.
The Gang Unit focuses its efforts in three areas: intelligence gathering/dissemination, crime prevention and enforcement. This mirrors the California Street Terrorism Enforcement & Prevention statutes (STEP) outlined in the Penal Code. To encourage information sharing, the Gang Unit routinely makes contact with community groups and leaders. To prevent criminal activity, the Gang Unit identifies gang members and emerging criminal organizations, focusing on in-person contacts with offenders whenever possible. To enforce the STEP laws, Gang Unit investigators are trained to be expert witnesses and provide special testimony in gang-related cases. This model has proved successful both in preventing crime and successfully prosecuting gang-related offenses.
Gun violations continue to be closely associated with gang members.
The firearm pictured to the right was recovered during an encounter with a gang member when officers were investigating a newly formed local street gang.
Below, two firearms were recovered from a gang-related investigation. One is real and one is an imitation firearm. Can you tell the difference?

Patrol Division
Gang Unit

Gang Unit
In 2022, SLTPD officers investigated 34 gang related cases. The SLTPD often initiates gang-related calls for service, believing that proactivity is paramount when preventing gang issues. The School Resource Officer handled the greatest amount of gang-related calls for service, as students frequently try to start new gangs or become involved in established criminal groups.
The majority of gang-related calls for
service handled by the SLTPD are for
Hispanic Street Gangs. Officers encountered Norteno gang members almost twice as often as Sureno gang members.
Gang contacts occur across the entire
city. The SLTPD divides the city into
three beats: West, Mid and East. The
chart to the right shows the distribution
of gang encounters across the city.
Vandalism continues to be the most
commonly documented gang-related crime.
SLTPD Gang Unit officers completed community presentations during 2022. These presentations are designed to educate the public on gang legislation in the State of California, enforcement measures, documentation and validation, and an overview of gang activity over the last 15 years in South Lake Tahoe.
Community members with
gang-related information
are encouraged to reach out
to the SLTPD, as our mission simply cannot be completed without the help of the community. Both the
Gang Unit and the community share the same safetyoriented vision. 213

Joint Dispatch Center
South Lake Tahoe Dispatch continues to be the heart of public safety throughout the City of South Lake Tahoe as well as the Lake Valley area in the County. Throughout our summer months we also dispatch for Fallen Leaf Fire and provide automatic aid to the areas near Emerald Bay. Our Joint Dispatch Center routes all calls for Police, Fire and EMS in these areas.
During 2022 we continued to deal with staffing shortages and relied on our team to cover when needed. Several of our officers have been trained in dispatch to help cover when needed. We are very appreciative for their help.
In December of 2022 we implemented a new CAD (computer aided dispatch) system. This has been a huge learning curve that has taken months of work to prepare for. Not only have our Dispatchers had to learn the system; our Officers, Medics, BC, Fire, Records and support staff have as well. We are looking forward to all this new CAD system has to offer and for it to feel familiar.
The city approved a much needed and greatly improved radio system. Many components of this system are coming together, and we are really excited for our go-live day.
While we deal with the ongoing short staffing and continuous recruitment, our dispatch will continue to provide the highest level of service as we always have.

Detectives / Evidence
The mission of the South Lake Tahoe Police Detective Division is the pursuit of truth for the benefit of the victim and rights of the accused. Currently the Detective Division consists of six detectives. Five detectives are assigned focused crime categories based on a specific area of expertise. One detective is assigned to the Safe Streets Task Force within the FBI office. While the Detective Division houses subject matter experts, our investigations often rely on collaboration with other law enforcement entities such as the California Department of Justice, the United States Department of Justice, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
Areas of crime categories investigated by our detectives may include:
• homicide
• sexual assault
• hate crimes
• child abuse (physical, sexual, endangerment, and porn) • robberies
• assaults with deadly weapons
• missing persons
• burglary
• fraud
• theft
• elder abuse (financial and physical)
• domestic violence
• cold case homicide
• cannabis control, compliance, and regulation
Each detective possesses technical training, skills, and personality traits that supports the division’s investigative abilities. As mentioned last year, the detective division continues to cover narcotics investigation and enforcement in the vacuum left by the South Lake El Dorado Narcotics Enforcement Team having been disbanded.
Daily review and triage are required to identify the immediate investigative priorities from the number of patrol cases sent through to this division. Case assignments are directed to the detective with subject matter expertise most applicable to the crime or incident at issue. However, interdisciplinary collaboration and case assignments are fluid.

Evidence Unit
The Evidence Unit is trained in evidence collection, preservation, crime scene processing, photography, and forensics. Members collaborate with Detectives on major crime scenes to identify, collect, categorize, and process evidence using best practices that adhere to industry standards. Evidence Technicians regularly process evidence collected on lower priority crimes scenes by patrol officers; such as footwear impressions, latent fingerprints, and DNA. Some of this evidence is sent to Department of Justice for additional processing beyond the scope of our evidence unit. They also work with the District Attorney’s Office to provide evidence for court and work with the public to return recovered property.
In 2022, Evidence Technicians addressed over 2800 reports, which included 48,800 evidence and/or property items to be classified and stored, processed, or purged. The Evidence unit addresses this workload with two Technicians.
One of our Evidence Technicians passed a rigorous four-hour exam for certification as a Crime Scene Analyst through the International Association for Identification, the oldest and largest Forensic organization in the world.

PARKING GARAGE:
As noted in previous years, the City parking garage is in need of upgrades. Upgrades needed include structural integrity, EV charging, traffic pattern and a better PARCS capability to enhance customer service, customer experience and city revenue. In 2022, a RFP was drafted seeking a reputable company to manage and execute the much needed parking garage upgrades. The City received multiple proposals and ultimately awarded the contract to a very experienced and capable firm, Walker Consultants based in San Francisco, CA. Police, Public Works, Finance, and Facilities staff have all worked alongside Walker Consultants to ensure the project scope meets the needs of South Lake Tahoe and within the City’s budget. As the City continues to pay off the parking garage’s bonds, plans are in place to begin the upgrades to the garage in 2024. In the meantime, SLTPD CSO division continues to manage the garage to ensure its functionality integrity is maintained.

Records
The Records Division at SLTPD, is the beating heart of our clerical work at the Police Department.
After the Records Supervisor left the department in 2022, the two Records Techs have stepped up to fill our void, especially during our transition to a new CAD system. We are fully integrated into the new reporting legislation, NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) which has changed the way data and statistics are reported to the FBI. California also added their own stop data system to collect information from California law enforcement agencies, RIPA (Racial and Identity Profiling Act) and CIBRS (California Incident-Based Reporting System). Each month, our Records Techs ensure all our collected data is properly submitted to DOJ and FBI, as required by law.
The Records Division also works very closely with the District Attorney’s Office, as well as many other LE Agencies throughout the state. As police reports are completed, the records division sends those reports to the DA’s Office (or other appropriate agency) for their review of criminal charges or other administrative action.
The Records Division answers incoming non-emergency calls during business hours, handles all Public Records requests related to criminal records, registers sex offenders and gang registrants, and receives and processes all “counter reports,” or reports made in the PD lobby.
During business hours, our Records Staff are the first to greet any citizen who walks into our lobby and directs their needs as necessary. SLTPD is currently working to fill the open Records Supervisor position.

City of South Lake Tahoe
Report to City Council
Meeting Date: March 28, 2023
Title: City Development Rights Annual Report
Location: Citywide
Responsible Staff Member: John Hitchcock, Planning Manager, (530) 542-7472 Background: The City maintains an inventory of potential residential units of use, single and multi-family residential units of use, tourist accommodation units, commercial floor area, and land coverage, which have been accumulated from various sources (e.g., Environmental Improvement Projects, implementing of Community Plans and Area Plans, City purchase of land with attached development right). See Attachment 02 for an inventory of development rights owned by the City.
In order to establish a clear City policy for the disposition of these assets, the City Council on September 3, 2019, adopted Resolution 2019-067, which provided for a consistent and equitable disposition process, promoted the achievement of the City's affordable housing and community development goals, and provided certainty for the development community. The adopted resolutions 1) established an annual determination for the fair market value of the development rights and specifies that the City Council will establish a price point for each category by applying a factor of one-third to be the recommended rate, 2) provides for the earmarking of sales revenue in the City's new Workforce Housing Fund (to be used for targeted affordable housing initiatives), 3) provides for the sale of development rights for deed-restricted housing projects at no cost, 4) provides for the sale of development rights for multi-family residential projects and mixed-use projects within an established Town Center at no cost, 5) provides for the sale of development rights for commercial or industrial projects that redevelop distressed properties at no cost, and 6) delegates authority to complete transactions to the City Manager.
On May 3, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution 2022-051 (see Attachment 03) amending the previous resolution to set aside 20 City banked tourist accommodation units to be converted to residential units of use and provided at no cost to construct new accessory dwelling units. The resolution also set aside 20 tourist accommodation units to be converted and used to build new multi-family projects. The resolution requires deed restrictions be placed on the properties prohibiting their use as a vacation home rental and for multi-family projects, deed-restricting the occupancy of units to tenants employed at least 30 hours per week at a place of business located in the Tahoe Basin. Language was also adopted, restricting the conversion of commercial floor area to other development rights.
As of the writing of this staff report, the City has netted $394,989.95 in revenue from the sale of commodities that is set aside for Housing program and project implementation and has approved the conversion and transfer of five units of use for the construction of new accessory dwelling units.

Council Agenda Report- March 28, 2023 Page 2 of 3
Issue and Discussion: Pursuant to Resolution 2019-067 and 2022-051, the City contracted with Mr. Ben Johnson of Johnson Valuation Group Limited, to appraise and estimate the market value of the assets owned by the City. Mr. Johnson was tasked with providing a general overview of the market conditions in the Lake Tahoe Basin and providing a detailed analysis of the market for each development right and recommending a per unit market value for each development right.
Mr. Johnson's scope of work included interviewing experienced land use planners well versed in TRPA's growth management system and project permitting, real estate agents, developers and the staff of the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) & Nevada State Lands. Historically, these two state agencies have been the primary source for development rights in the Tahoe Basin. Mr.
Johnson also did extensive research on the existing market conditions, analyzed the sale of development rights, and completed a comparable sales analysis of each development right.
Appraisal and findings on the current state of the market are included in Attachment 04, which analyzes the change in market conditions for development rights from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. After extensive research and careful consideration of all data available, site inspections, and comparative analysis of comparable properties, Mr. Johnson recommends changes to the fair market value for 1b land coverage and potential coverage in the Upper Truckee River watershed. No changes are recommended for all other development rights.
In the original appraisal and subsequent updates to the appraisal, the value per square foot of 1b land coverage was estimated to be $25.00 per square foot. The CTC has a present asking price of $30 per square foot for 1b land coverage. In discussions with land planners, it was indicated that there is a relatively small market for 1b coverage, and sellers are primarily able to name their price as the primary buyers are higher-end residential properties with inelastic demand. Land planners reported sale prices of up to $35 per square foot for 1b land coverage in 2022.
Generally, they indicated that the market accepts the CTC's present asking price of $30 per square foot for the primary basis of establishing value. Based on the CTC's current asking price, the market value for 1b Coverage is estimated at $30 per square foot.
Mr. Johnson also recommends increasing the value of potential coverage in the Upper Truckee Watershed from $6.00 per square foot to $7.50 per square foot. This recommended change would align the City market value with the CTC, which is the primary agency in the basin selling potential land coverage for the construction of residential uses.
Mr. Johnson recommends the following market values for city-owned development rights.

Environmental Considerations: Implementing a policy for the sale of development rights and land coverage is not approval of a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15352 and 15378. Any proposed project that uses development rights and /or land coverage purchased from the City would be required to go through a project-level environmental analysis pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines.
Financial Implications: Revenue generated from the sale of development rights and/or land coverage is used to support City Council Housing priorities. The revenue generated from direct sales of the development rights/land coverage is earmarked to support the City's Workforce Housing Fund (to be used for targeted housing initiatives). Satisfaction with all conditions of an approved sale, including project completion, is required before the funds are available for use.
Currently, the Development Services Department has resources to implement the program, including coordinating the sale of development rights with the City Manager's office and the Finance Department, preparing TRPA transfer applications, and tracking the sale and transfer of development rights and land coverage.
Policy Implication: The City Council policies for distribution of development commodities is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Element policy. Note that the target number of residential units has been updated in the recently adopted Housing Element.
Policy LU1.10: Future Residential Development Rights (RDR) Commodities. The City shall pursue the maximum amount of available residential unit allocations from the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in order to use them as an incentive for revitalization, including workforce housing, up to an additional 940 market rate units and 222 affordable units. (Note: please see the Housing Element for additional policies related to market rate and affordable housing, incentives, and locations).

City Council
May 3, 2022
Policy Regarding Disposition of Tahoe Regional Planning Agency TRPA) Development Commodities Owned by City of South Lake Tahoe Replacing Resolution 2019-067)
BACKGROUND
A. The Tahoe Regional Planning Authority ( TRPA) is the land use authority and has established a development rights system to manage future development and a system to regulate the amount of land coverage in the Tahoe basin.
B. The TRPA development rights are land use units that must be acquired before a property can be developed. Development rights include potential residential units of use ( PRUs), single and multi-family residential units of use ( RUUs), tourist accommodation units (TAUs), and commercial floor area (CFA).
C. Permanent land coverage is also regulated by the TRPA to protect the Lake Tahoe watershed. Parcels are limited to a specified amount of land coverage and, in some cases, may be transferred to maximize the allowable amount on a given parcel.
D. The City of South Lake Tahoe is subject to applying the development rights and land coverage systems to our review and approval of land use entitlement applications that are subject to the TRPA/City Memorandum of Understanding.
E. The City has TRPA development rights and land coverage which have accumulated from various sources ( e.g., Environmental Improvement Projects, implementation of Community Plans and Area Plans, City purchase of land with attached development rights, the retirement of rights, and TRPA allocation of development).
F. The City has been approached by project developers/applicants interested in securing development rights and land coverage from the City.
G. The City has independently sold or provided various TRPA development rights and land coverage to project developers/applicants based on the merits of the individual project.
H. Through the sale of TRPA development rights and land coverage the City has also provided an environmental and economic incentive to projects which otherwise would not have been economically feasible.
I. The City believes it is appropriate, and transparent, to establish a policy that addresses the future distribution and sale of development rights and land coverage maintained by the City.
Res 2022- 051 May 3, 2022 233

The City Manager has the discretion to require any project change to be reviewed by the City Council to determine whether development rights or land coverage should be revoked. If revoked, the developer/ applicant will return to the City the allocated development rights and/or land coverage. The City shall reimburse the developer/applicant the price of sale, less the City's Res 2022- 051 May 3, 2022 234

F. Commercial Floor Area shall only be provided or sold to a commercial project and shall Res 2022- 051 May 3, 2022 235
not be converted to other development right types.
4. The City Council adopts the following implementation strategy for the distribution and sale of development rights and land coverage:
A. The Development Services Department will have an appraisal prepared by a California licenses appraiser, analyzing the sale of each development right ( potential residential units of use (PRUs), single and multi-family residential units of use (RUUs), tourist accommodation units ( TAUs), commercial floor area ( CFA); and land coverage), for the preceding calendar year.
i. The appraiser shall prepare the above-described report for presentation to the City Council on or before February 1 of each calendar year. a. The report shall describe the methodology used in determining the value of each development right category, including commercial floor area, and
b. The report shall contain recommendations for each development right category, including land coverage; and
c. The report shall also include a recommended tiers rate structure to address variances based on the scale of the project.
ii. The City Council reserves the right to annually set the price point for each development right type and/or land coverage; and
a. The established cost per category, shall be based upon one-third of the recommended appraisal rate.
iii. A developer/applicant shall have one-year from the date of the approved development right/land coverage request to submit and obtain a building permit, issued through the City. If this milestone is unachievable the applicant may apply for an extension or relinquish the City granted development rights and land coverage.
iv. One, one-year extension for the retention of approved development rights/ land coverage may be granted by the City Manager, based on the project continuing to meet the distribution policy and proceeding in a diligent manner, or relinquish the City granted development rights and land coverage.
v. The sale and transfer of development rights/land coverage shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. vi. If any of the associated City Planning, Building and/or TRPA permits expire, the allocated development rights/land coverage shall be returned to the City. The City shall also reimburse the developer/applicant for the cost of those development rights/land coverage, less the City's administrative processing fee.
Res 2022- 051 May 3, 2022 236
vii. Should the project parcel(s) change ownership the development rights may be transferred to a new owner so long as the project is constructed as approved. Any change to an approved project (e.g., elevations, building siting, interior configuration) may result in the revocation of prior reservation and/or allocated development rights and/or land coverage. viii. When approved development rights/land coverage is banked on a sending parcel, the developer/applicant shall obtain TRPA Transfer of Development Rights approval prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
ix. The proceeds from the sale of city-owned development rights/land coverage shall be dedicated to the City's Workforce Housing Fund to support the City's affordable housing initiatives.
B. The City Council hereby delegates to the City Manager the authority to approve or deny, and to complete the distribution and sale of the development rights/land coverage inside the City of South Lake Tahoe consistent with the criteria outlined in this policy.
C. The City Council reserves the sole right to distribute and sell development rights/land coverage to private developers and other public agencies outside the City of South Lake Tahoe, and all such distribution and sales shall be at the full market rate at that time.
D. The City Council hereby directs the implementation of an annual review process of this policy to be completed prior to February 1, of each calendar year.
E. These policies supersede all other distribution and sale of development rights and land coverage policies adopted by the City Council through Resolution No. 2017-73.

Mr. John Hitchcock
Planning Manager
City of South Lake Tahoe
Re: TRPA Intangible Development Rights Valuation update letter Dear Mr. Hitchcock:
This is in response to your request for a letter addressing updated Market Values of the City of South Lake Tahoe’s Lake Tahoe Basin Development Rights (intangible development rights). These Development Rights include Land Coverage, Commercial Floor Area (CFA), Residential Development Rights, Residential Units of Use, Potential Residential Units of Use, and Tourist Accommodation Units (TAUs). The undersigned previously prepared a narrative appraisal of the City’s TRPA Development Rights with a date of valuation of January 30, 2020 and a date of issuance of March 26, 2020 (“Original Appraisal”). Subsequently, on August 28, 2020, the First Supplemental Letter to the Original Appraisal addressing updated market conditions from January 30, 2020 to August 28, 2020 was issued. On January 14, 2021, the Second Supplemental Letter to the Original Appraisal addressing Market Conditions from January 30, 2020 to January 14, 2021 was issued. On February 24, 2022 the Third Supplemental Letter to the Original Appraisal, with an effective date of valuation of January 31, 2022 was issued. This letter is the Fourth Supplement Letter to the Original Appraisal and is predicated upon a date of valuation of January 31, 2023. This Fourth Supplemental Letter is incorporated by reference to the Original Appraisal, the First Supplemental Letter, the Second Supplemental Letter, and the Third Supplemental Letter. It is assumed the reader of this update letter has access to all aforementioned documents that are incorporated by reference herein and has reviewed full copies of all of these documents.

This report is being prepared as a new Appraisal Report under Standard Rule 2-2(a) of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). It is an extraordinary assumption1
of this appraisal that the reader of this appraisal has access to and has fully reviewed a full copy of the Original Appraisal and First and Second Supplement letters.
Advisory Opinion 3 of the 2020/21 edition of USPAP provides the following guidance relative to updating a prior appraisal.
“When developing an opinion regarding a property that was the subject of a previous assignment, the scope of work in the new assignment may be different from the scope of work in the prior one. In addition, rather than duplicating steps in the appraisal process, the appraiser can elect to incorporate some of the analyses from the previous assignment (those items that the appraiser concludes are credible and in compliance with the applicable development Standard) into the new assignment through the use of an extraordinary assumption.” This appraisal incorporates by reference the Original Appraisal. Advisory Opinion 3 of the 2020/21 edition of USPAP provides the following guidance relative to incorporating by reference a prior appraisal when completing a new assignment:
“a new report that incorporates by reference specified information/analysis from the prior report so that, in combination, the referenced portions and the new information/analysis added satisfies the applicable reporting requirements. When this incorporation by reference option is used, the following items from that prior report should be specifically identified in the new report to avoid being misleading:
• subject property
• client and any other intended users
• intended use
• appraiser(s)
• effective date of value or assignment results
1 This report, and the value conclusion(s) set forth herein, is subject to an extraordinary assumption. An extraordinary assumption is defined by the 2020/21 version of USPAP as “an assignment specific assumption as of the effective date regarding uncertain information used in an analysis which, if found to be false, could alter the appraiser’s opinions or conclusions.”1 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only

• date of report, and
• interest(s) appraised”
Pursuant to your request, I have prepared this Fourth Supplemental Letter to update the 100% fee simple Market Values for TRPA commodities owned by the City of South Lake Tahoe to January 31, 2023 in typical retail quantities as identified in the Original Appraisal. In order to analyze how market conditions may have changed, the undersigned has reviewed market conditions for the improved commercial and residential real estate market and the changes in the market for TRPA Development Rights and interviewed various market participants. The Client and Intended User of this letter is the City of South Lake Tahoe. The intended use is to assist the City of South Lake Tahoe in establishing the value of their owned TRPA intangible development rights in considering potential offers they may receive to purchase some of these rights.
First, the improved residential real estate market was considered. The initial effect of the COVID pandemic was a pause in sales activity. However, once reopening began, the number of sales of residential properties increased substantially in the South Shore. The South Lake Tahoe Board of Realtors has collected the following data for the California side of the Lake Tahoe Basin.:
DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only

California Nevada
JohnsonValuation Group, Ltd.
23-003
Total sales volume in the area greatly increased in 2020 due to demand generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales volume increased by 69.5% on the California side of South Shore.
In 2021, the California side of South Shore saw a drop in total sales volume of -4.5% and a further 16.7% in 2022 . Median and average sales prices showed sizable increases ranging from
22.1% and 21.0% in 2021 and much smaller 5.4% and 5.5% increases in 2022. Price per square foot showed very large gains over 2020 with the median and average sale price per square foot in the El Dorado County portion of the Tahoe Basin increased 31.7% and 24.3%, respectively. The average price per square foot rate of increase slowed to 8.4% in 2022.
Brokers and Realtors do not expect continued price appreciation, with general indications that buyers are becoming more price resistant at the present time and the increases in interest rates in 2022 have had an adverse affect on affordability.
Currently there are 75 listing in the El Dorado County portion of South Shore. The median list price is $807,000 and average list price is $1141,615. Inventory remains low with DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only

less than a two-month supply of inventory (active and pending) presently available for on the market based on 2022’s total number of sales. The low available inventory has likely led to the average and median sale price being insulating from broader current economic conditions.
Changes in the commercial market have also been considered. The demand for sale commercial properties is largely being driven by buyers completing tax deferred exchanges (1031 exchange) and desiring a replacement property in the Tahoe area. The market for development land has experienced strong headwinds due to the increases in costs of construction (both labor and materials) and increased interest rates. Many commercial agents and owners indicate the market is in stage of pause at the present time.
Next, the market for TRPA development rights has been considered. The undersigned interviewed staff at the California Tahoe Conservancy, real estate agents, and private TRPA consultants in January and February of 2023. These interviews indicated that there has been very limited sales of TRPA development rights over the last year and market participants have widely varying views of pricing and demand. Due in part to the very limited sales volume, market participants do not appear to have enough data points through which to form a consolidated view of market conditions and pricing for some TRPA development rights.
Class 1b Land Coverage
In the Original Appraisal and prior update appraisals, the value per square foot of 1b land coverage was estimated to be $25.00 per square foot. The California Tahoe Conservancy has a present asking price of $30 per square foot for 1b land coverage. In discussions with Land Planners it was indicated that there is a relatively small market for 1b coverage and sellers are largely able to name their price as the primary buyers are higher end residential properties that have inelastic demand. Land Planners reported sale prices of up to $35 per square foot for 1b Land Coverage in 2022, but generally indicated that the market accepts the CTC’s present asking price of $30 per square foot for the primary basis of establishing value.. Based on the CTC’s current asking price the Market Value for 1b Coverage is estimated at $30 per square foot.

Based on this data the Market Value of high capability potential coverage in the South Stateline Hydrologic Basin is estimated at $7.50 per square foot for a typical retail quantity.
Restored Hard Coverage
In the Original Appraisal, the Market Value of restored hard coverage in the South Stateline Hydrologic Area and the Upper Truckee Hydrologic Area was estimated at $25.00 per square foot. The undersigned is not aware of any 2022 sales of restored hard coverage . The CTC’s present asking price for restored hard coverage is $25.00 per square foot. Based on the limited information, the Market Value of restored hard coverage in the South Stateline Hydrologic Area and the Upper Truckee Hydrologic Area is estimated at $25 per square foot.
Commercial Floor Area (CFA)
In the Original Appraisal, the value per square foot of CFA was estimated to be $25.00 per square foot. The undersigned is aware of one 2022 sale and one current pending sale at $25 per square foot. This is supportive of the prior year’s conclusion of $25 per square foot.
Residential Unit of Use (RUU)
In the Original Appraisal, the value of an Residential Unit of Use (RUU) was estimated to be $22,500. Based on the research conducted as part of this market conditions update letter, one sale of an RUUs in South Lake Tahoe for $27,500 in 2022 was found. The undersigned is also aware of CFA being converted to residential units of use to create new RUUs, with property owners using existing CFA that was already owned or CFA that they acquired on the open market. At the current market price of $25 per square foot for CFA and 300 square feet of CFA DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only
2/16/2023
245
California Nevada
JohnsonValuation Group, Ltd.
23-003
being convertible to a single-family residential unit of use, it indicates the implied value of an RUU is $7,500. However, this process takes time, uncertainty and cost to purchase and covert CFA into an RUU. The lack of sales data uncovered as part of this assignment for RUUs indicates that buyers would rather go through the process of converting CFA as opposed to buying an RUU right on the open market at the present time. On the other hand, there would likely be a market premium attached to a RUU as opposed to buying CFA and converting it as occurred with the one sale of an RUU for $27,500 in South Lake Tahoe in 2022. This one sale represents the motivations of a single buyer and provides a wide range between the price at which it is possible to effectively achieve a RUU through CFA conversion. Based on the information considered herein, it is estimated that an RUU is presently worth in the range of $15,000/each, which is unchanged from the Third Update Letter.
Tourist Accommodation Unit (TAU)
In the Original Appraisal, the value of an TAU was estimated to be $17,500. Based on the research conducted as part of this market conditions update letter, no sales of TAUs were found. Based on market interviews and the TRPA conversion table, which treats TAUs and RUUs as having the same value, it is indicated that the market value of TAUs and RUUs has equalized. Therefore, the estimated present value of a TAU is $15,000/each.
Potential Residential Unit of Use (Formerly Residential Development Right) In the Original Appraisal, the Market Value of a Potential Residential Unit of Use was estimated at $5,000. The undersigned is not aware of any 2022 sales of a Potential Residential Unit of Use and the value is opined to be unchanged.
Overall, the market values summarized herein are based on limited sales data and values may continue to change in the near term as additional transactions occur. It is noted that of the various interviews conducted, many had materially different views of the pricing and future demand for various TRPA development rights. The value conclusions are summarized as follows:
