MEETING DATE:

March 21, 2023

CITY AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Approving a Priority List of Community Events for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total Budget of $136,450 with $74,000 being funded by fireworks sales, $7,000 in donations, $35,500 from ticket sales and booth rentals, and a request of $19,950 from the General Fund.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the loss of the Redevelopment Agency, which previously provided funding for special events, the Suisun City Community Services Foundation (Foundation) was established in 2012 to generate funds to financially support community events in Suisun City. In 2016, all but one of the members of the Community Services Foundation decided that they were unable to continue functioning in this capacity. Supporting this decision, the Foundation submitted a name change to the State of California to become the Friends of Suisun City Recreation. The Department Director and staff are working through strategies to make this a viable partner in funding future community events.

The City has established positive relationships with a variety of organizations that will continue to foster growth in community events. Through partnerships with the Suisun City Waterfront Business Improvement District (BID), Chabad of Solano County, and Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club, events in the community will continue to thrive and provide a positive gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

STAFF REPORT:

Special events are essential activities that bring neighbors together and build a sense of place and community. By providing these opportunities, residents have a gathering place in which they can celebrate a national holiday, recreate together, and build positive community relationships. Special events also act as an economic driver for those businesses located within proximity of the events.

Summer events: 4th of July Celebration, Dinner and Movies in the Park on Friday nights, Saturday Night Music on the Waterfront Series, Sunday Jazz Series, and National Night Out.

National Night Out will be coordinated in conjunction with the Suisun City Police Department and will feature music, family activities, free food, and community resource booths. The summer program begins on Saturday, June 23 with a Movie in the Park funded in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Movies in the Park will be enhanced by adding a food truck on location to provide families an opportunity to come early and enjoy a picnic on the lawn at the Joseph Nelson Community Center. Food trucks well change each Friday to provide a variety of options.

Fall events include Cruisin’ Suisun Car Show and new this year will a Día de Los Muertos event, featuring live music, dancing, food, vendor sales, beer garden, and traditional alters.

Winter events scheduled are to be Christmas on the Waterfront, the Menorah Lighting, and new this year, a Kwanzaa Celebration.
5 In addition to the events listed above, the Recreation, Parks, and Marina Department co-hosts BrewBash at the Basin in April with the Fairfield-Suisun Rotary Club and Friends of Suisun City Recreation. The department also provides support to a variety of events throughout the year including the BID events, Mother’s Day, Art, Wine and Music, and new this year, Cinco de Mayo, and others coordinated by community groups.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ___: Approving a Priority List of Events for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

March 21, 2023

CITY AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-__: Resolution Adopting a List of Projects for Fiscal Year 2023-24 Funded by Senate Bill 1: The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Total operating cost for the Suisun City (City) Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA) project is budgeted under the Transportation PW Capital Projects Fund (Fund 115) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24. The estimated annual Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) fund for pavement projects is $505,000.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Restore Historic Downtown. Develop Sustainable Economy. Ensure Public Safety. Provide Good Governance. Ensure Fiscal Solvency. Enhance Environment.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Suisun City is responsible for the maintenance of 153 lane miles of roadway with over 13 million square feet of pavement. The goal of the Suisun City Pavement Management Program is to maintain the city’s pavement in the best condition possible given the available funding. Each year, preventive maintenance treatments are performed on selected city streets.

These planned treatment projects are intended to extend the life of the pavement and avoid costlier repair or replacement of streets. Road reconstruction is only considered when preventive maintenance treatments are no longer cost-effective or feasible. The cost of reconstructing a street can exceed the cost of performing a preventative maintenance treatment by tenfold.

On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 1, also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. This bill provides a stable source of funding to local agencies to provide for road maintenance and rehabilitation.

STAFF REPORT:

In accordance with SB 1, the City of Suisun City must adopt a budget each fiscal year appropriating revenues and expenditures of Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds. In addition, the City must submit a list of projects corresponding to the adopted budget to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) prior to July 1, 2023 in order to receive the SB 1 funds for FY 2023-24. Suisun City is committed to improving the road conditions and ADA accessibility in the city and has budgeted SB 1 funds for road maintenance and rehabilitation.

SB 1 funds can be used not only for the construction phase of pavement resurfacing projects but also for the preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates (PS&E) for the projects. Examples of pavement resurfacing projects completed in previous years include the following:

Asphalt rubber cape sealing on Village Drive and Whispering Bay Lane (from Josiah Circle to Francisco Drive), including the upgrade of curb ramps to ADA-compliant curb ramps on both street segments and adding buffered bicycle lane striping on Village Drive.

Asphalt overlay on Civic Center Boulevard from Lotz Way to Driftwood Drive, including the upgrade of curb ramps to ADA-compliant curb ramps and the replacement of curbs/gutters and sidewalk squares.
11 Cape sealing and slurry sealing on various streets in which cape seal was applied to approximately 27,230 square yards of streets and slurry seal applied to approximately 32,617, including the upgrade of 44 curb ramps to ADA-compliant curb ramps. This SB 1 project was augmented by Measure S funds. The projects streets were primarily residential streets:

Bottlebrush Court, Camellia Court, Hibiscus Lane, Limewood Drive, Flagstone Circle, Birchwood Court, Brookside Court, Dawn Rose Court, Dawn Rose Way, Lemonwood Way, McCoy Creek Court, Kinsmill Court, Ricky Court, Michael Court, Jeanne Court, Westwind Court, Westwind Way, Steller Way, Crested Drive, Canary Court, Heron Drive, Swallow Court, Whipporwill Way, Keyes Court, Hillborn Court, Marston Court, McNabe Court, Peytonia Court, Spence Court, Yuba Court, and Hacienda Way.

The new projects list, including the previously proposed and adopted projects, listed in the table on the following page may utilize Fiscal Year 2023-24 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Revenues. With the listing of these project streets in the fiscal year resolution, the City is reaffirming to the public and the State our intent to fund these projects with Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation revenues.

Please refer to Attachment 2 for a graph of City of Suisun City – FY 2023-2024 Local Streets and Roads Program Projects List.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution included as Attachment No. 1 of this report and authorize staff to submit the required list of projects to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) prior to July 1, 2023 to secure SB 1 funding. The list of projects and project streets can be modified in the future without consequence.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023-24 FUNDED BY SENATE BILL 1: THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT OF 2017

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and Signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and
WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of our City of Suisun City are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City of Suisun City must adopt by resolution a list of projects proposed to receive fiscal year funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City of Suisun City, will receive an estimated $505,000 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year 2023-24 from SB 1; and
WHEREAS, this is the sixth year in which the City of Suisun City is receiving SB 1 funding and will enable the City of Suisun City to continue essential road maintenance and rehabilitation projects, safety improvements, repairing and replacing aging bridges, and increasing access and mobility options for the traveling public that would not have otherwise been possible without SB 1; and
WHEREAS, the City of Suisun City has undergone a robust public process to ensure public input into our community’s transportation priorities/the project list; and WHEREAS, the City of Suisun City used a Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high -priority and cost - effective projects that also meet the community’s priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from SB 1 will help the City of Suisun City maintain and rehabilitate up to eighteen (18) streets/roads throughout the City/County this year by applying a combination of crack seals and slurry seals this year to preserve good roads and applying asphalt rubber cape or asphalt concrete overlay to high volume collector roads the following years; and many similar projects into the future; and
WHEREAS, the 2021 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City of Suisun City streets and roads are in an “at risk” condition and this revenue will help prevent the streets and roads to falling within a “poor” condition; and WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive impact on our road system.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

March 21, 2023

CITY AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2023-___: Approving the Final Map for the Lotz Way Subdivision, Accepting All Offers of Dedication and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Ashria, LLC.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the General Fund. Prior to the recordation of the Final Map, the developer will pay the city plan check fees, map check fees, inspection fees, permit fees, utility connection fees and other applicable fees for the Lotz Way Subdivision.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

On June 28, 2022, the Planning Commission approved the Tentative Map for the Lotz Way Subdivision. The project is located at the northeast corner of Civic Center Boulevard and Lotz Way, within a 1.58-acre project site that is currently vacant. See attached location map.

Improvements at this subdivision will include, among others, construction of 16 single family homes, soundwall along the north perimeter, a pocket park, a bioretention facility, utilities, a 10-foot wide concrete pedestrian/bicycle path along the north side of Lotz Way from Alder Street to Civic Center Boulevard, and various pavement resurfacing treatments on the street segments fronting the project site.

STAFF REPORT:

The City Subdivision Ordinance requires that prior to the approval of the Final Map, all fees are to be paid, and the following deliverables be completed and/or submitted to the City:
the approved Improvement Plans, signed Subdivision Improvement Agreement, bonds and insurance.

See attached Final Map.

In reviewing the Final Map, the County Surveyor has noticed that half of the Lotz Way segment fronting the project site, as well as half of the Alder Street segment fronting the project, are still owned by the Applicant, who is the project site property owner. This Final Map corrects that circumstance by dedicating those portions of the two streets to the City. Also, an alley will be formed along the north side of the proposed 16 single family homes. That alley will be dedicated to the City as well, and the Applicant is proposing to name the alley “Day Lane”.

Staff recommends approval of the Final Map subject to a condition in the resolution that, prior to the recordation of the Final Map, all fees are paid and Improvement Plans approved and signed by the City Engineer. Moreover, prior to starting construction, all necessary bonds and insurance are posted by the Developer.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ___: Approving the Final Map for the Lotz Way Subdivision, Accepting All Offers of Dedication and Authorizing the City Manager to Sign the Subdivision Improvement Agreement with Ashria, LLC.

Page 6 ends

Step 3: If the amount determined in Step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Maximum CFD-Wide Special Tax on all Parcels of Developed Property in the CFD.

Step 4: If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the CFD-Wide Special Tax against all Parcels of Developed Property in equal percentages up to 100% of the Maximum CFD-Wide Special Tax for each Parcel until the amount of the CFD -Wide Special Tax levy equals the CFD - Wide Special Tax Requirement for that Fiscal Year.

2. Tax Zone Special Tax

Each Fiscal Year, the Tax Zone Special Tax shall be levied on all Parcels of Developed Property within each Tax Zone as follows:

Step 1: Separately for each Tax Zone, determine the Tax Zone Special Tax Requirement for the Fiscal Year in which the Tax Zone Sp ecial Tax will be collected;

Step 2: Calculate separately for each Tax Zone the total Tax Zone Special Tax revenues that could be collected from Developed Property within the Tax Zone based on application of the Maximum Tax Zone Special Tax rates for that Tax Zone;

Step 3: If the amount determined in Step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Maximum Tax Zone Special Tax on all Parcels of Developed Property in the Tax Zone.

Step 4: If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Tax Zone Special Tax against all Parcels of Developed Property within the Tax Zone in equal percentages up to 100% of the Maximum Tax Zone Special Tax for each Parcel until the amount of the Tax Zone Special Tax levy equals the Tax Zone Special Tax Requirement for that Fiscal Year.

The CFD -Wide Special Tax and the Tax Zone Special Tax within the CFD shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that the CFD may (under the authority provided in the Act), in any particular case, bill the taxes directly to the property owner off the County tax roll, and the Special Taxes will be equally subject to penalties and foreclosure if delinquent.

E. LIMITATIONS

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax, no Special Tax shall be levied on land that has been conveyed to a Public Agency, except as otherwise provided in Sections 53317.3 and 53317.5 of the Act.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires an annual report on the progress of the jurisdiction’s Housing Element. The Annual Report is required for all General Plans by California Government Code Section 65400(b), which states, “the planning agency shall provide an annual report to the legislative body on the status of the plan and progress in its implementation, including the progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs….”
The Planning Commission discussed the annual report at their March 14 meeting and voted unanimously (3-0) to recommend City Council acceptance of the report.

STAFF REPORT:

The General Plan represents Suisun City’s future vision of the City in the year 2035. The Plan identifies the general location for future land uses, including residential, commercial, and industrial areas, and desired population and building densities throughout the community. The Plan states future goals for Community Character and Design, Land Use, Transportation, Economic Development, Housing, Open Space and Conservation, Community Facilities and Services, and Public Health and Safety.

The report describes the City’s progress in implementing the policies and programs of the General Plan, as well as the City’s progress on providing its share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (Attachment 1.B).

54 Exhibit A
Below is a brief description of projects that the City has begun or completed during CY 2022 that assisted in implementing both the 2035 General Plan and 2015-2023 Housing Element:

Community Character and Design Element
Continued Implementation of Suisun City Strategic Plan. The Suisun City Council adopted the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan on October 22, 2019. Each City Council agenda item now ties back to how it relates to the adopted strategic plan.

Continued Holding Committee Meetings for Specific Issues. In 2019, the City Council created three committees to address important issues in the City: Lighting and Landscaping Districts, Public Safety, and Environment and Climate. These committees are made up of city residents appointed by the City Council. The Lighting and Landscaping District was disbanded in 2022 however the other two have continued on.

Continued Implementation of Revised Public Notification Requirements and Adoption of Good Neighbor Policy. The City updated its public noticing requirements and procedures in 2019.

Noticing for development projects now includes mailings sent to all property owners within 600 feet of a project and placing a sign visible on the site displaying project information. Full use of the City’s social media and website has been implemented in order to get the word out. In 2021, the City Council adopted a “Good Neighbor” Policy which allows residents and interested parties to be better informed early in the development review process. The policy has now applied to several projects and become a part of the entitlement process.

Land Use Element
Initiated Amendments to Title 18 “Zoning” . Staff initiated work with the City’s consultant, Gary Price, to amend/update the zoning code to address various inconsistencies and ambiguities.

Initiated Amendments to the Waterfront District Specific Plan. As a part of the City of Suisun City’s Senate Bill 2 grant, AECOM Technical Service Inc. has been contracted to update and amend the Waterfront District Specific Plan. Amendments include a closer analysis of allowable uses, parking requirements throughout the Plan, and specific analysis of various sites within the Plan. The City has now expanded its consultant bench for the project by including Kosmont Associates.

Transportation
Initiated Amendments to Transportation Element of the General Plan to Improve Circulation in and Around the City. Staff continued analysis of the realignment of Railroad Avenue as well as other possible long-term circulation improvements for the City to consider.

Recently completed projects include the following:

New Railroad Avenue Pavement Resurfacing Project
This project provided pavement overlay, including digout repairs, on the eastbound lanes of New Railroad Avenue from Sunset Avenue to a point approximately 900 feet west of Village Drive.

Pavement overlay will be from Village Drive to Sunset Avenue, on the south side of New Railroad Avenue. The project also replaced the existing bicycle lanes with buffered bicycle lanes on both 55 Exhibit A
sides of Railroad Avenue from Sunset Avenue to Marina Boulevard. The striping improvements resulted in the width reduction the travel lanes . Moreover, a total of four (4) curb ramps were upgraded to ADA-compliant curb ramps at the southwest and southeast corners of the following t-intersections: Railroad Avenue/Village Drive and Railroad Avenue/Pepperwood Street. This project addressed the roadway deficiencies which included significant alligator cracks and base failure within the project pavement.

Village Drive and Whispering Bay Lane Asphalt Rubber Cape Seal Project (Senate Bill 1) This project provided asphalt rubber cape seal treatment, including digout repairs, on the following street segments: 1) Village Drive from Highway 12 to Railroad Avenue, and 2) Whispering Bay Lane from Francisco Drive to Josiah Circle.

As part of this project, Village Drive received a road diet by the introduc tion of new buffered bicycle lanes on each side of the roadway, resulting in the reduction of vehicle travel widths. The new buffered bicycle lane directly connect to the Central County Bikeway, creating a safe facility for students who choose to ride their bikes to and from Crystal Middle School.

Traffic Calming Improvements Project on Whispering Bay Lane This project provided improvements at the existing crosswalk fronting Crystal Middle School, on Whispering Bay Lane and just south of Almond Street. T he project improvements include the installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons, high visibility crosswalk, a concrete curb extension and curb ramp upgrades.

Currently in construction and anticipated to be completed in 2023 are the following projects:

McCoy Creek Bicycle Trail Phase II Improvements
The project is an extension of McCoy Creek Trail – Phase 1. Phase I was completed in 2008 and resulted in the addition of 0.38 miles (2,000 feet) in Class I trail to the City’s existing trail system.

The Phase 2 Project will extend the existing Phase 1 Trail along the west bank of the McCoy Creek canal, starting from Pintail Drive to a new pedestrian bridge which will cross over the Laurel Creek. The bridge will span from the south bank of the Laurel Creek canal to the north bank of the Laurel Creek canal (roughly ending at the dead- end of Humphrey Drive).. From the bridge, the trail continues along the north bank of the Laurel Creek canal east to Blossom Avenue. The Project will be approximately one (1) mile in length. This Project will add a natural, scenic paved trail through the center of town that allows for easy connection to the Kroc Center, Suisun City Library, Suisun Elementary, transportation, shopping, and the Central County Bikeway.

The last planned phase of this Project (Phase 3) would complete the Trail eastward from Blossom Avenue to the bend in Laurel Creek canal where it turns northward (just east of Sunset Avenue) and will dead-end at Old Railroad Avenue. This would allow easy access into the City of Fairfield from the trail.

Highway 12 Shoulder and Median Improvements Project
The City has secured Clean California grant funds in the amount of $2,300,000 for this project, which will beautify Highway 12 from Civic C enter Boulevard to Walters Road at the following locations:
56 Exhibit A
1) Landscaping within the unpaved area on the south side of Highway 12, located between the eastbound off-ramp and on-ramp at Civic Boulevard.
2) Landscaping in the medians from Marina Boulevard to Walters Road. 3) Landscaping and fence replacement between the curb line and soundw all along the north side of Highway 12 from Marina Boulevard to Village Drive. 4) Painting of existing k-rails on Highway 12 at McCoy Creek.

Projects for which design and construction is anticipated to be completed in 2023 include the following:

HSIP Cycle 10 Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) Project Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle10 in the amount of $249,800 has been secured for this project. No l ocal match is required. The project will install rectangular rapid flashing beacons, high visibility crosswalks and concrete bulbouts at the following locations:
1) Golden Eye Way at Shoveller Drive (fronting Suisun Elementary School. 2) Pintail Drive at Crane Drive (fronting Goepp Park and Dan O. Root Elementary School). 3) Harrier Drive, north of Osprey Way (fronting the main entrance to Dan O. Root Elementary School).

These are locations identified for Safe Routes to School (SR2S) improvements through the SR2S Task Force Committee, which is comprised of representatives from the Fairfield -Suisun Unified School District (FUSD), Solano Transportation Authority (STA), and the City. Design work will begin and will be completed by the end of 2022. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2022 and to be completed 2023.

(HSIP) Cycle 10 Traffic Signal Improvements Project
Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle10 in the amount of $1,515,330 has been secured for this project. A 10% local match ($168,370) is required. The project will upgrade the existing five (5) traffic signals on Sunset Avenue, the five (5) traffic signals on Walters Road, and the one traffic signal at Main Street and Lotz Way.

Green Stormwater Infrastructure Project
A Caltrans funding allocation has been secured for this project in the amount of $893,270 for design and construction. The goals of the project are to reduce the amount of trash and to improve the quality of stormwater entering the Suisun Marsh and San Francisco Bay ecosyst ems, as well as to beautify this gateway to the City’s Historic Waterfront District. These goals will be achieved by constructing a green stormwater infrastructure feature and a full trash capture device within the project area, which is located east of the Amtrak Park & Ride Lot and west of the Highway 12 off- ramp at Civic Center Bouelvard. The parking lot slopes towards a drainage ditch on the eastern perimeter of the parking lot, covered with primarily non-native grasses, bare earth, and rock. The ditch is well suited for conversion into a bioretention facility to slow and treat runoff from the parking lot and the off ramp.

Sidewalk Gap Closure Project
The City has secured a Transportation Fun for Clean Air (TFCA) allocation in the amount of $95,000 for this project. This is a Safe Routes to School Project to Crystal Middle School as well 57 Exhibit A
as a Safe Routes to Transit Project to the Train Depo t. This project will fill in the gap in the sidewalk system around the parcel located at the southeast corner of Marina Boulevard and Buena Vista Drive. Affordable apartments are currently being constructed in that parcel, and the City has conditioned the project to construct one half of the 10-foot wide sidewalkplanned along the project frontages. As part of the TFCAproject, the City will construct the other half. The goal is to connect this planned 10-foot wide concrete pedestrian/bicycle path to the nearby CentralCounty Bikeway and Grizzly Island Trail.

Kellogg Resiliency Project
The goal of the project is to enhance the social and ecological resilience of the City by:
1) Reducign risk of fire and slope instability to the homes adjacent to the Kellogg Pump Station Basin.
2) Empowering current and future City leaders to implement phased seal level rise adaption measures.
3) Enhancing recreatio nal and educational opportunities to support the well -being and ecological literacy.
4) Reducing existing surface water flooding and enhancing water quality through effective stormwater management.
5) Ensuring the ease of long-term operations and maintenance of the project area. 58 Exhibit A

This project is located within the two parcels located south of the homes on Maple Street between Kellogg Street and School Street.

The project will be administered by the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD). American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in the amount of $200,000 will be directed to FSSD for the purpose of environmental design, community outreach and the preparation of conceptual plans through 30% plans and cost estimate.

A State allocation of $8.6 million has been secured to take the above -mentioned 30% documents to completion in the form of 100% plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E). The State allocation will also fund the construction of the improvements, which may include the following:
1) Concrete path for emergency vehicle access/use, pedestrians and bicyclists. 2) Stabilizing the embankment adjacent to the homes on Maple Street. 3) Raised ecotone levees for future flood risk reduction. 4) Covering the basin and introducing an underground pipe for the conveyances of stormwater.
5) Green stormwater infrastructure south of the adjacent homes on Maple street, at the southerly terminus of School Street, and on the west side of Kellogg Street immediately east of the project storm basin.
6) Green privacy screens to reduce noises emanating from the project site. 7) Perimeter gates and fencing.
8) Trash collection receptacles.

Economic Development

Entitled Element 7 Commercial Cannabis Dispensary. The City Council entitled the City’s second commercial cannabis dispensary located at 300 Railroad Avenue. Element 7 is currently working on finalizing civil plans for the property and submitting tenant improvement plans for building permit.

Continued Processing Suisun Logistics (Eastern Sphere of Influence) and Highway 12 Logistics (Western Sphere of Influence) Development Projects.

Suisun Logistics
The City received a development application and annexation request for 167 acres within the City’s Eastern Sphere of Influence. The project, as proposed, would include over 2 million square feet of High-Cube Industrial space. Entitlements are anticipated to be considered in mid-2023.

Highway 12 Logistics
The City received a development application and annexation request for property west of the Suisun City downtown, adjacent to Pennsylvania Avenue and south of Highway 12 within the City’s Western Sphere of Influence. The project, as proposed, would include approximately 1.28 million square feet of High-Cube Industrial space. Entitlements are anticipated to be considered in mid-to- late 2023.

59 Exhibit A
Entitled Take 5 Oil Change and New Starbucks Drive Thru (NE Corner of Highway 12 and Walters Road. The Planning Commission granted entitlements for both projects (1) Take 5 (May); and (2) Starbucks (September). The Take 5 project has received its building permit and is now under construction. The Starbucks project is expected to be under construction during the 2 nd
quarter of 2023.

Sale of Successor Agency Property. The Successor Agency closed escrow on sale of five vacant parcels of land which were formerly a part of the Main Street West Disposition and Development Agreement.

Housing Element
Issued Building Permits for Marina Village and Blossom Apartments. Between the two project there are a total of 340 units. The Marina Village project is an affordable project with the Blossom Apartments project being market rate. Both projects are expected to be occupied within the next couple of years.

Meridian West. The final map for the 71-unit single family subdivision (west edge of Waterfront District area) has been recorded. Plot plans have been submitted and approved. Building construction is expected to commence the second half of 2023.

Lotz Residences. The Planning Commission granted entitlements for a 16 -unit single family subdivision at the NE corner of Civic Center Blvd. and Lotz Way. The project is in the building permit/plan check process presently with the expectation of permit issuance in Spring 2023.

Permitting of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s). The City issued two Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) in the 2022 calendar year and are looking at ways to continue to streamline their permitting moving forward.

In Cooperation with Other Jurisdictions in Solano County, F ormed a Collaborative in Updating the Housing Element (6
th Cycle). Along with the cities of Benicia, Dixon, Rio Vista, Vacaville, Vallejo, and Solano County, the City of Suisun City formed a collaborative in updating the upcoming Housing Element of the General Plan. Consulting work (performed by PlaceWorks) began in late 2021 with the City’s element coming before the City Council in March 2023.

Open Space and Conservation
Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The City of Suisun City continues to be a participant of the HCP.

Community Facilities and Services
Completed Energy Efficiency Upgrades to City-Owned Facilities.

Implementation of the Public Art Ordinance. The City adopted a Public Art Ordinance which obligates development to either pay a fee or install public art as part of a project. The Ordinance was further amended in late 2021. With the most recent development project s, revenues are beginning to be received and applied to this policy.

60 Exhibit A
Continued Work on the Prosperity Farm Community Garden Project. The area being considered for the new Community Garden is City owned property that was once part of a plan to become a street. That idea never came to fruition and the land has been vacan t ever since.

Ironically, the name of the street that was never built was Prosperity Lane, which leads to naming this project Prosperity Farm. This property sits adjacent to the McCoy Creek Bike Trail Phase 3, which will connect this area to the majority of the city by walking or riding a bicycle. The Community Garden will be planned comprehensively and designed by a landscape architect to help bring concepts to reality and to insure we have a first class product the community can be proud of at completion.

Public Health and Safety
Flood control projects (Annual). Staff completed routine removal of vegetation to ensure proper functioning and operation of channel runoff, existing water control facilities, or other structures necessary for public health, safety and benefit. The followi ng activities took place in 2022:
spraying, mowing/weed eating, debris removal, and limb pruning.

Implementation of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Staff worked closely with the County and other participants of the Plan to complete the update. This is being completed in advance of the update to the Safety Element of the General Plan.

General Plan Safety Element. In addition to the update of the Housing Element that PlaceWorks is completing, they are also updating the Safety Element. The amendment are largely centered around update dictated by new laws/statutes. The element is slated for City Council adoption in March 2023.

1.F.1
Continue to implement the second
dwelling unit ordinance that follows the
requirements of state law (Government
Code Section 65852.1) in allowing
second dwelling units on any
residential lot subject to ministerial
review.

The City will amend the
Zoning Ordinance to
include the state law
language that was passed
in 2005 which removed
discretionary review.

The City updated its Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance to come into compliance with state law in 2020.

1.F.2
Continue to allow construction of
duplexes on corner lots and other
flexible housing designs according to
Cit

This program is ongoing, but the City has not yet had an opportunity to implement.

1.G.1
Evaluate development proposals based
on development standards, the
distinctiveness of design, and
compatibility with existing residential
development in the vicinity of the
proposal. The City will evaluate the
compatibility with the physical and
environmental characteristics of the
area in which a development proposal
is to be located, and by using the
specific plan and planned unit
development processes, the City will
encourage the distinctiveness of new
residential neighborhoods.
2015-2023, as projects are
received through the
Development Services
Department.

This program is ongoing.

1.H.1
Continue to use PUD zoning to offer
greater housing choice for residents
and greater flexibility for developers
than in conventional zone districts. The
PUD Zone enables developers to
provide a great range of housing units
that can accommodate a variety of
needs.
2015-2023. Consider
using PUD zoning where
appropriate and as
projects are submitted to
the Development Services
Department.

The City has continued to emphasize the benefits of PUD Zoning and again used it on for a development project in 2020 (Lawler Mixed Use). 70 1.I.1
As required by state law (Government
Code Section 65400), annually review
and evaluate the City's progress in

risk" assisted rental housing projects
in Suisun City.
2015-2023 This program is ongoing.

2.B.1
The Suisun City Housing Authority will
continue to seek additional Section 8
vouchers for its very low-income
residents to reduce the number of such
households paying more than 30
percent of their incomes for housing
expenses when funding for additional
vouchers becomes available and the
Authority is able to apply for such
funding.
2015-2023 This program is ongoing and the Housing Authority will continue to seek additional vouchers.

3.A.1
Amend the Zoning Ordinance to
specifically allow employee housing for
six or fewer residents as a permitted

3.A.3
Cooperate with nonprofit housing
corporations and for-profit developers
specializing in housing for adults 55
years of age and above to
accommodate housing that meets the
needs of this age group. This will

processes to facilitate the
development of housing
for older adults, as
projects are proposed.

Assist developers in
locating sites and
converting and retrofitting
existing residential
buildings annually.

Provide rehabitation
assistance to older low-
income homeowners
annually. Assist in the
funding of affordable
housing for older adults
annually or as projects
are proposed.

This program is ongoing and the City will continue to seek opportunities.

3.A.4
Cooperate with Travis Air Force Base
officials to identify any unmet needs
among military personnel for affordable
housing in Suisun City.

Annually meet with
representatives of Travis
Air Force Base to
determine whether unmet
housing needs exist.

This program is ongoing and staff will continue to meet with representatives of Travis Air Force Base.

Work with housing providers to
address special housing needs for
seniors, large families, female-headed
households, single-parent households

Child Care Facility Financing Program,
and other state and federal programs
designated specifically for for special
needs groups such as seniors, persons
with physical and developmental
disabilities, and persons as risk for

California Government Code Sections 65580-65589.8 requires local jurisdictions to update the Housing Element of their General Plans every eight years, subject to the review and approval of the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The City’s current Housing Element (“5th Cycle”) was adopted on May 19, 2015, and covers the period from 2015 to 2023.

The Housing Element is a comprehensive statement by the community of its current and future housing needs and proposed action to facilitate the provision of additional housing to meet those needs at all income levels. The policies contained in the Housing Element are an expression of the statewide housing goal of meeting the housing needs in our region, as well a reflection of the unique concerns of the community. Housing Elements are required to:

1 .

Assess and address constraints to housing development;
2 .

Provide an assessment of population housing needs;
3 .

Analyze progress toward implementing the previous Housing Element; 4 .

Guide housing development policy;
5 .

Identify opportunities to meet the City’s housing needs and identified Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA);
a
.

Identify resources that support housing for all income groups; b
.

Complete an inventory of existing and new sites for housing development in support of meeting the City’s RHNA;

91 Housing Element law does not require the City to build all units identified as part of the RHNA, but rather to implement a plan to accommodate for these units throughout the City. The Housing Element is not only a tool to solve housing problems but aims to identify constraints and barriers and provide realistic solutions where able.

The City has prepared the 6th Cycle Housing Element which plans for the period of 2023 to 2031. All 6th cycle Housing Elements must be certified by HCD by January 31, 2023 (with an additional 120-day grace-period possible, until May 31, 2023, to accommodate for delays).

On January 14, 2020, the City Council, by Resolution, became a member of the Solano County sub- region to administer the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for Solano County in the 6th Cycle Housing Element update (2023-2031). The County as a whole was assigned 10,992 units throughout the four income ranges (Very Low-, Low-, Moderate-, Above Moderate-) to plan for as part of the Housing Element updates. All jurisdictions worked together, under the authority of the Solano City-County Coordinating Council (4C’s), to develop methodology to allocate the housing needs amongst its member jurisdictions.

In 2020, the City also joined the County Collaborative, a partnership with the other jurisdictions in Solano County to jointly select, utilize, and fund a single consultant to prepare the Housing Elements for partnering jurisdictions in the county.

In December 2021, HCD approved the Solano Subregion 6th cycle RHNA plan and methodology, which established the housing needs that each jurisdiction in the subregion needed to plan for as part of the 6th Housing Element cycle. For Suisun City, the total RHNA assigned is 620 units (of the 10,992 units assigned to Solano County as a whole). See Table 1 below for a breakdown of units by income group. The sites are located throughout the City and a map and discussion of the sites can be found beginning on Page 48. The discussion includes Table 7, Page 49; and Figure 1, Page 50.

*It is assumed that 50 percent of the very low-income category is allocated to the extremely low-income category.

In January 2022, the Planning Commission (January 11, 2022) conducted a study session to receive an introduction to the update process, the requirements for the update, overview of the RHNA process, and new state housing laws that must be incorporated into the Housing Element update.

On August 17, 2022, the City released the Draft Housing Element for a 30-day public review period, ending on September 16, 2022.

In August 2022, the Planning Commission and City Council held a joint meeting (August 20, 2022) to review the Draft Housing Element and recommend submittal to HCD for initial review. 92 On October 4, 2022, the City submitted the Draft Housing Element to HCD for review. HCD had 90-days, until December 30th, to complete their review of the draft.

On December 7, 2022, staff and the consultant team met with HCD to discuss HCD’s preliminary comments prior to the end of their 90-day review. Based on the preliminary comments received, the City staff and the consultant team revised the Draft Housing Element, released it for public review on December 21st, and submitted it to HCD on December 27th.

On December 28, 2022, the City received a comment letter from HCD regarding items that need to be corrected or further addressed. The HCD comment letter is included as Attachment 3.

Following receipt of the HCD comment letter, staff and the consultant team revised the Housing Element to address all the comments in the letter.
2023 Public Health and Safety Element
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65302(g), a Safety Element must be updated upon the revision of a Housing Element or a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, but no less than every eight years.

The Safety Element must identify potential natural and human-caused hazards that could affect the City of Suisun City’s residents, businesses, and services. The purpose of a Safety Element is to establish a framework that anticipates these hazards and prepares the community to minimize exposure to these risks.

Suisun City’s Safety Element content is included in the Public Health and Safety Element of the City’s General Plan 2035. Although the Safety Element was updated as part of the 2035 General Plan adopted by the City Council in May 2015, California Government Code Section 65302(g) requires the City to review the Safety Element and update it as needed concurrent with the update of the Housing Element update. The City initiated this update in late 2021.

City staff and the consultant team prepared a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment in accordance with the California Adaptation Planning Guide and pursuant to Government Code Section 65302(g)(4) in mid-2022. Concurrently with this assessment, City staff and the consultant team prepared the Public Health and Safety Background Report, which includes an overview of natural and human-caused hazards in Suisun City, past occurrences, updated mapping of hazards, and how the hazards are likely to change in the future. The results of the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment were integrated into the Background Report, which was prepared in late 2022. The Background Report was then used to update the text, goals, policies, and actions of the 2023 Public Health and Safety Element. The background report has been added as an appendix to the General Plan.

A link to the 2023 Public Health and Safety Element is provided as Attachment 9.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their February 28 meeting in which they unanimously voted in favor of City Council adoption of the proposed element amendments.

STAFF REPORT:

2023-2031 Housing Element
The attached Suisun City 2023-2031 Housing Element Summary (Attachment 6) outlines modifications made to the Final Draft document following City Council endorsement in December 2020. These amendments were required by State Housing and Community Development in order to issue a letter of compliance and allow the adoption and certification process to move forward. 93 2023 Public Health and Safety Element Update
The Safety Element (Public Health and Safety) is a required element of the General Plan per California state law and as stated previously must be updated concurrently with any Housing Element update. As part of the update, below is a discussion of changes and additions to the element.

An appendix to the General Plan has been created for the Public Health and Safety Background Report.

Within the background report, evaluation of public safety issues is discussed with emphasis on the following items:

Healthy Communities
Hazardous Materials
Flooding
Fire Risk
Geologic, Soils, and Seismic Hazards
Emergency Response
Climate change hazards
Additionally, the element includes updated mapping, regulatory framework discussion, as well as a discussion of past events and future risks. Lastly, a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) was prepared by the project team pursuant to Government Code section 65302(g)(4). The assessment included a four-step process: (1) characterizing the city’s exposure to current and projected climate hazards; (2) identifying potential sensitivities and potential impacts to city populations and assets; (3) evaluating the current ability of the populations and assets to cope with climate impacts, also referred to as its adaptive capacity; and (4) identifying vulnerabilities based on systematic scoring. The CCVA included an evaluation of 59 populations and community assets to ten potential hazards. The CCVA is included as Appendix A of the Public Health and Safety Background Report.

The attached Suisun City 2023-2031 Public Health and Safety Summary (Attachment 7) provides a summary of the major changes to the revised draft Public Health and Safety Element.

CEQA REVIEW
Section 15061(b)(3): Common Sense Exemption
The proposed project is exempt as a “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet the City’s RHNA allocation that would not have the potential to cause a significant physical effect on the environment. As it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would have a significant effect on the environment, the 6th Cycle Housing Element is exempt from CEQA under the commonsense exemption.

Similarly, the proposed Public Health and Safety Element Update is also exempt as a “common sense” exemption because it does not propose site-specific development. It is an update to an existing policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. Therefore, the proposed Public Health and Safety Element would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

Analysis in Support of Findings
Policies, programs, and actions included in the Housing Element encourage housing production and outline steps for the future implementation of certain actions. Similarly, the goals, objectives, policies, and programs included in the Public Health and Safety Element ensure that the City appropriately considers public health and safety in decisions related to land development, the provision of services, 94 and public investments. Future implementation actions would include amendments to zoning and other regulations to facilitate housing development; however, no amendments to the City’s land use regulations are included in the Housing Element or Public Health or Safety Element Update. In addition, as discussed in Section 2.2.2, Proposed Sites and Zoning, the Housing Sites Inventory utilizes existing land use and zoning densities and does not require redesignation or rezoning to meet the RHNA. Furthermore, the proposed 6th Cycle Housing Element does not include specific amendments to any land use regulations but rather provides a timeline for future amendments. Subsequent amendments to the City’s land use or zoning regulations will be subject to separate CEQA review at the time the amendments are considered. Until the details and scope of the amendments are known, it is too speculative and premature to evaluate environmental impacts. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Suisun City 6th Cycle Housing Element and Public Health and Safety Element Update would not have a significant effect on the environment and is, therefore, exempt from further CEQA analysis.

1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE
This Technical Memorandum serves as an evaluation of the Suisun City 6 th Cycle Housing Element Update and Public Health and Safety Element (proposed project) concerning California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. This Technical Memorandum was prepared to present: 1) the findings resulting from the CEQA compliance review, as described below; and 2) the recommendations concerning the appropriate CEQA compliance documentation.

1.2 STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND REQUIREMENTS
Once it is determined that an activity is a project subject to CEQA, it is then determined whether the project is exempt from CEQA. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b) outlines the ways in which a project may be exempt as follows:

A project is exempt from CEQA if:
1) The project is exempt by statute (see, e.g. Article 18, commencing with Section 15260). 2) The project is exempt pursuant to a categorical exemption (see Article 19, commencing with Section 15300) and the application of that categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in Section 15300.2.
3) The activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
4) The project will be rejected or disapproved by a public agency. (See Section 15270(b)). 5) The project is exempt pursuant to the provisions of Article 12.5 of Chapter 3. 112

Suisun City Page 5

2. Project Description

2.1 REGIONAL LOCATION
Suisun City is in central Solano County, midway between Sacramento and San Francisco. The city is bounded on the north and west by the city of Fairfield, the Solano County seat. The city is also bounded on the east by Travis Air Force Base and unincorporated agricultural lands and on the south by the Suisun Marsh Protection District. The community is bisected by St ate Highway 12 and is approximately 2 miles east of Interstate 80. The Suisun Slough, a major tidal waterway, connects Suisun City to Suisun Bay and the greater San Francisco Bay. The Union Pacifi c Railroad passes through the city, and the only remaining passenger stop in Solano City is located adjacent to Main Street in the Old Town business district.

2.2 PROPOSED PROJECT

2.2.1 Project Background
Suisun City is preparing an update to its existing Housing Element, a State-mandated policy document that is a component of the Suisun City General Plan. The ov erall purpose of the Housing Element Update is to identify current and projected housing needs; show locations where housing can be built; and set goals, policies, and programs to meet the community’s housing needs. The foundation of the Housing Element is the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), which is 620 units, including 160 very low- income units, 95 low- income units, 98 moderate- income units, and 267 above moderate- income units. The city has identified sufficient sites with adequate development capacity to accommodate these new housing units with existing land use designations and zoning. No amendments to land use regulations or zoning is required or included as part of the Housing Element.

State legislation requires that the City update the Safety Element at the same time as the Housing Element.

The updated Public Health and Safety Element will be adopted concurrently with the Housing Element. The Safety Element topics related to both public health and safety hazards including noise and vibration, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, water quality, hazards and hazardous materials, flooding, fire risk, geologic and seismic hazards, climate change hazards, and emergency response. The City will update its existing General Plan Safety Element (2015) in confor mance with the requirements and guidelines issued by the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR ) General Plan Guidelines (2017), OPR’s Fire Hazard Planning guidance, and the City’s very high fire hazard severity zone map. The Safety Element will incorporate by reference the Solano County Multi-Ju risdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) (2022).

Under California law, the Public Health and Safety Element is required to include a vulnerability assessment that looks at how people, buildings, infrastructure, and other key community assets may be affected by climate change and the degree to which they are vulnerable. The City conducted this assessment in fall of 2022.

Findings Concerning CEQA Exemption

2.2.2 Proposed Sites and Zoning
State law requires that the Housing Element identify adequate sites that exist within the Land Use Element of the General Plan for housing by including an inve ntory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having potential for redevelopment, including analysis of the development capacity that can realistically be achieved for each site. The purpose of the Sites Inventory is to evaluate whether there are sufficient sites with appropriate zoning to meet the RHNA. It is based on the City’s current land use designations and zoning requirements. The City’s Sites Inventory for future housing identifies housing sites, approved projects, and projected accessory dwelling units and manufactured homes, spread throughout the City that could be developed with up to 1,080 new housing units, exceeding the RHNA assigned to the City. While all sites in the Housing Element inventory are located low resource areas according to the Tax Credit Allocation Committ ee and Department of Housing and Community Development's Opportunity Area maps, this Housing Element ensures that the site’s inventory affirmatively furthers fair housing by analyzing the inventory against a variety of fair housing indicators. Figure 2-1, Sites Inventory Map, show where each site is located within the City. The development capacity of each of the identified housing sites is based on existing land use and zoning densities currently in place. No redesignations or rezoning are necessary, and no redesignation or rezoning would occur as part of the adoption of the proposed 6
th cycle Housing Element.

Findings Concerning CEQA Exemption

3. Findings Concerning CEQA
Exemption

3.1 SECTION 15061(B)(3): COMMON SENSE EXEMPTION
The proposed project is exempt as a “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet the City’s RHNA allocation that would not have the potential to cause a significant physical effect on the environment. As it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed 6th Cycle Housing Element Update would have a significant effect on the environment, the 6th Cycle Housing Element is exempt from CEQA under the commonsense exemption.

Similarly, the proposed Public Health and Safety El ement Update is also exempt as a “common sense” exemption because it does not propose site-specific development. It is an update to an existing policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. Therefore, the proposed Public Health and Safety Element would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.

3.2 ANALYSIS IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS
Policies, programs, and actions included in the Housing Element encourage housing production and outline steps for the future implementation of certain acti ons. Similarly, the goals, objectives, policies, and programs included in the Public Health and Safety El ement ensure that the City appropriately considers public health and safety in decisions related to land development, the provision of services, and public investments. Future implementation actions would include amendments to zoning and other regulations to facilitate housing development; however, no amendments to the City’s land use regulations are included in the Housing Element or Public Health or Safety Element Update. In addition, as discussed in Section 2.2.2, Proposed Sites and Zoning , the Housing Sites Inventory utilizes existing land use and zoning densities and does not require redesignation or rezoning to meet the RHNA. Furthermore, the proposed 6 th Cycle Housing
Element does not include specific amendments to any land use regulations but rather provides a timeline for future amendments. Subsequent amendments to th e City’s land use or zoning regulations will be subject to separate CEQA review at the time the amendments are considered. Until the details and scope of the amendments are known, it is too speculativ e and premature to evaluate environmental impacts.

Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that the Suisun City 6 th Cycle Housing Element and Public Health and Safety Element Update would not have a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further CEQA analysis.

A, San Rafael, CA 94901 (415) 457-5025 TDD: (800) 735-2922 www.fairhousingnorcal.org [email protected] Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California SENT VIA EMAIL ONLY: [email protected] February 28, 2023 John Kearns Principal Planner Members Planning Commission City of Suisun City RE: Suisun City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Dear Planning Commission: We provide this letter as public comment on the adoption draft of Suisun City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element (“Draft”). Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California (FHANC) is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting individuals experiencing housing discrimination and educating the community, including tenants, housing providers, and government employees, as to their rights and responsibilities under federal and state fair housing laws. The mission of FHANC is to ensure equal housing opportunity and to educate the community on the value of diversity in housing. FHANC provides free comprehensive fair housing counseling services to individuals alleging housing discrimination in Sonoma County (except the incorporated city of Petaluma) Marin County, and Vallejo and Fairfield in Solano County (and other parts of Solano County through a one-year pilot project). FHANC also provides other services, such as prepurchase and foreclosure prevention services and trainings to housing providers in other neighboring counties. In addition to counseling and education services, FHANC recruits, trains, and employs fair housing testers in order to investigate claims of housing discrimination and to assist in conducting systemic investigations. We support the City’s commitment to strengthening its fair housing activities through seeking funding to contract with a fair housing service provider and providing fair housing education to landlords and tenants. In order to meet the City’s requirement to affirmatively further fair housing, we urge the planning team to add programs to protect Suisun City renters, who comprise a large portion of the most vulnerable residents in the City. Fair Housing Education and Enforcement We appreciate the City’s commitment to seek funding annually to contract with a fair housing service provider, as the need for fair housing action in the region is great; we would urge the City 130
to make sure it is a comprehensive fair housing counseling agency able to conduct fair housing testing and represent clients in the administrative complaint process. FHANC’s recent investigations and audits in Solano County have highlighted the great need for fair housing education and enforcement in the County. In 2019-20, FHANC conducted an audit to test for national origin and source of income (SOI) discrimination1, and in 2021-22, FHANC conducted an audit to test for race and SOI discrimination2. Both of these audits revealed high rates of discrimination in the County. In 2019-20, FHANC found evidence of SOI discrimination in 52% of tests in the county, national origin discrimination in 19% of tests, and both national origin and SOI discrimination in 10% of the tests. In 2021-22, FHANC found evidence of SOI discrimination in 44% of tests in the County, race discrimination in 32% of tests, and both race and SOI discrimination in 18% of the tests. FHANC continues to see increases in complaints of SOI discrimination, and in the past fiscal year FHANC received more SOI complaints than any other type except disability. FHANC’s May 2021 Audit Report also found evidence of disability discrimination in 46% of tests in the County.3 This evidence highlights a need for strengthened fair housing education for all housing providers and tenants, and we support the city’s commitment to providing biannual trainings for tenants and landlords on fair housing. Programs to affirmatively further fair housing must identify clear “metrics and milestones for determining what fair housing results will be achieved.”4 The fair housing programs and activities in the Draft do not include adequate metrics and milestones around fair housing education and enforcement, such as number of housing providers/residents provided education or training, or number of fair housing complaints referred. The Draft should therefore be updated to include such metrics and milestones. The Draft should also explain how its proposed programs and development plans, such as the site inventory, will serve to overcome existing patterns of segregation.5 Prioritize Specific Policies and Programs to Protect Tenants We urge Suisun City to commit to advancing specific policies and programs that offer strong tenant protections as a crucial component of affirmatively furthering fair housing. Suisun City should commit to enacting the following policies/ordinances to maximize housing opportunity and protect the rights of all tenants, including those of protected classes: Fair Chance Ordinance: The use of criminal history in obtaining housing should be eliminated, given the disparate impact on people of color, using Berkeley, Oakland, Seattle, and Alameda County as templates for such an ordinance. 1 See 2019-2020 Audit Report: National Origin and Source of Income Discrimination in Rental Housing, https://www.fairhousingnorcal.org/resources--more-information.html 2 See 2021-2022 Audit Report: Race and Source of Income Discrimination in Rental Housing, https://www.fairhousingnorcal.org/uploads/1/7/0/5/17051262/race_and_soi_audit_report_2021-22_1.pdf. 3 See https://www.fairhousingnorcal.org/resources--more-information.html 4 Gov. Code § 65583(c)(10)(A)(iv). 5 See Gov. Code § 65583(c)(10)(A)(ii). 131
Rent Stabilization: Further limiting the rent increase caps enacted by the state is crucial to address the displacement of the City’s low-income renters. Just Cause Eviction: The City should commit to enacting a Just Cause Eviction ordinance, which would offer tenants, especially those of protected classes, crucial protection. One of the leading causes of evictions and displacement are the no fault just causes - substantial remodels, owner move-ins, and withdrawal from the rental market. These no-fault just causes are often used, and abused, by owners to remove tenants so that rents can be increased to market rate, further eroding affordable housing stock. Strengthening no-fault just causes for evictions – through higher relocation payments, longer eviction notice periods, and a right for a tenant to return at the same rent at the time of displacement, apart from lawful, annual rent increases – are critical to a general plan that complies with state law and addressing the displacement of the City’s BIPOC and senior renters. A Just Cause ordinance should include: • Substantial repairs - Repairs for health and safety concerns only and permits obtained before notice to vacate is served; tenant has the right to return under the same terms/rent, subject to allowable rent increases • Withdrawal from the rental market - Clarify that a sale of the property is not “withdrawal” and is not a just cause for eviction; owner is required to file notice with the city/county; a longer notice period and the right to return for displaced tenants. • Right to Return if owner/owner’s family move out of the unit within 2 years, or if the owner/owner’s family fail to move into the unit within 30 days of the tenant’s removal. Community or Tenant Right to Purchase (“COPA/TOPA”): As a key intervention against speculation, TOPA/COPA preserves currently affordable housing and generates new permanently affordable housing for future generations. TOPA/COPA expands stability and wealth-building opportunities for tenants by creating pathways to homeownership. Tenant Bill of Rights: The purpose of a Tenant Bill of Rights (TBR) is to state unequivocally that all residents have the right to clean, safe, and secure housing, which includes but is not limited to: • Anti-retaliation - Rebuttable presumption of retaliation if tenant asserts their rights, including but not limited to, requesting a reasonable accommodation, reporting sexual harassment, and otherwise filing complaints against housing provider staff within 6 months. • Clean, safe housing - stronger protections for tenants from eviction if they deduct repairs from rent • A rental registry. • Tenant Commission- Seats reserved that represent low-income seniors, persons with disabilities, tenants in federally subsidized housing including LIHTC, and communities of color on a commission that provides information, referrals, and advice to tenants and advises City leadership on programs and policies affecting tenants. • Nonpayment notices - Require landlords to provide a 7-day warning letter before a 3-day notice to pay or quit. 132
• Protections for subletting - Subletting not a just cause for eviction IF the landlord unreasonably withheld consent following a written request by tenant, so long as the maximum number of occupants does not exceed allowable limits. • Protections for families - Addition of family members not a just cause for eviction, so long as the number of occupants does not exceed allowable limits. Protections for families - Addition of family members not a just cause for eviction, so long as the number of occupants does not exceed allowable limits. The Draft should include the above policies and programs proven to improve and conserve existing, non-subsidized, affordable housing stock and address the unmet needs of low-income, protected class tenants in order to meet the City’s obligations under Housing Element Law. Conclusion Our agency is committed to housing justice and assisting the City to meet the current and future housing needs of Suisun City citizens. There is a tremendous opportunity with this Housing Element to outline specific, aligned, and actionable plans that will have widespread impact for years and decades to come. Suisun City should seize this opportunity to take the lead to outline and advance specific policies and practices to realize the goal of fair housing opportunity and housing justice for all who call Suisun City home. Thank you for your work and time on this urgent and important opportunity. Sincerely, Caroline Peattie Executive Director Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California Savannah Wheeler Staff Attorney/Housing Counselor Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California 133

AGENDA ITEM NO. 14

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

March 21, 2023

CITY AGENDA ITEM:

Council Approval of the Staff Recommendation to Implement the Suisun Microtransit Monthly Pass Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The approval of the Suisun Microtransit monthly passes has no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance, Ensure Public Safety, and Enhance the Environment.

BACKGROUND:

On August 17, 2021, the Suisun City Council considered two options and chose to reduce Fairfield and Suisun Transit (FAST) fixed route service funding by 100% on Routes 5 and 6.

Routes 5 and 6 operate within Suisun City and/or Fairfield. The Suisun City Council will instead focus future Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding on implementing microtransit. In the interim, the Suisun City proposed to partner with the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) to participate in the First/Last Mile Lyft Program that will be available to residents traveling within Suisun City. Suisun City also chose to discontinue funding FAST’s local reduced taxi program.

At its August 17, 2021 meeting, the Suisun City Council voted to reallocate use of its annual TDA funding and discontinue funding of FAST Route 5, Route 6, and local reduced taxi services effective January 1, 2022. Because there will be a full reduction of fixed route services, FAST was required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to follow its fare and service change policy that is part of its Title VI Plan.

On October 19, 2022, the Suisun City Council conducted a Public Hearing for the discontinuation of Routes 5 and 6, effective December 31, 2022, which was unanimously approved by the Suisun City Council.

STAFF REPORT:

The Suisun Microtransit program launched on January 3, 2023, and consists of dial- a-ride service available within Suisun City limits, and nine select locations within the City of Fairfield, as well as one fixed route known as the School Tripper. Since its inception, the Suisun Microtransit program has been relatively popular and has provided 2,062 passenger trips during the months of January and February 2023, with ridership increasing month to month. The ridership information based on mode can be found in Attachment A. The Suisun Microtransit program fares are $2.00 per trip for the General Fare, and $1.00 fare for Seniors, Youth, and the Disabled. However, as this is a new program the fare collection was suspended until March 1, 2023, in order to acclimate the patrons into their new service.

When fare collection resumed, the patron must pay their fare in exact cash as the drivers do not carry cash and cannot make change. Therefore, staff is recommending that the Suisun Microtransit Program implement a monthly pass to make fare payment easier for frequent riders of the system and provide another payment method for those who are interested. Based on the current fare structure, staff proposes the Monthly Passes to be set by the Suisun City Council at $90.00 for the General Fare and $45.00 for 135
the Discounted Monthly Pass (Senior, Disabled, and Youth), which equates to a 25% discount. It is recommended to make these passes available for purchase at the Solano Transportation Authority, and Suisun City Hall. A sample of the proposed passes can be found on Attachment B.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the staff recommendation and implement a monthly pass program for patrons that utilize the Suisun Microtransit Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

Councilmember Mike Hudson tendered his resignation effective February 21, 2023 resulting in a vacancy on the City Council, which must be filled. The term of the vacated office runs through the end of 2024.

Suisun Municipal Code Section 2.04.040 and Government Code Section 36512 govern the process by which vacancies in the elected offices of city council members are filled. Specifically, Section 36512 provides that a city council shall, within 60 days of the date of vacancy (i.e., no later than April 21, 2023), fill such vacancy by appointment, or call a special election to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the vacated term. Section 36512 does not provide any specific guidance on the manner in which the City Council selects an individual to fill a vacancy.

Section 2.3, Filling of a Council Vacancy, of the Suisun City Council Rules and Procedures, provides:

In the event of a vacancy of office or the death or resignation of any Council Member, the Mayor shall appoint a new Council Member, with the consent of the Council, within sixty (60) days after a vacancy or death or resignation becomes effective in compliance with the California Elections Code, unless the Council, by resolution, decides to instead call a special election. In the event of appointment, the Mayor, with the consent of the Council, shall determine by resolution the process for appointment prior to the application process and in accordance with State law.

At the February 21, 2023 City Council meeting, the Council was presented with the following options for a process to fill the council seat:

1 .

Direct the City Attorney to return at a future council meeting with the appropriate resolution to call a special election.
2 .

Appointment of a councilmember following an application and interview process. 3 .

Appointment from the previous list of interested applicants from the previous vacancy. 4 .

Direct the City Attorney to return at a future meeting with the appropriate documentation to appoint a specific candidate pursuant to Council direction. 5 .

Provide the City Attorney with other direction.

The Council deliberated and agreed on an application and interview process, and directed the City Attorney to return at today’s meeting with appropriate documentation to appoint a candidate pursuant to Council direction. Details of the application and interview process include:
147

All the applicants from the vacancy appointment process to fill the vacancy of former Councilmember and now Mayor Hernandez, who are still available and interested, are being considered, along with any new applicants. Previous round applicants did not submit new applications
Mayor reviewed and considered all properly submitted applications and was to interview no more than eight from the pool of available applicants.

Out of those eight or fewer, the Mayor was to choose no more than three applicants, to be interviewed and considered for appointment by the full Council at its regular meeting on March 21, 2023.

Following deliberations and Council consensus, the Mayor will appoint one individual to the vacant seat.

STAFF REPORT:

As described above, at the previous Council meeting on February 21, 2023, the Council deliberated and agreed on an application and interview process, whereby the Mayor would consider all applicants from the previous appointment process who are still available and interested, along with any new applicants, and narrow the pool of applicants to three individuals for the full Council’s consideration.

The application period began Monday, February 27, 2023 and ended Friday, March 10, 2023 at 5:00pm.

The Mayor reviewed and considered all properly submitted applications and interviewed the following five applicants: Laura Cole-Rowe, Thomas D. Alder, Katrina Garcia, Jonathan Richardson, and Marlon Osum. Thomas Alder subsequently withdrew his name from the pool of applicants. The Mayor interviewed the remaining applicants, and has selected three applicants to move on to today’s meeting to be interviewed and considered for appointment by the whole Council.

After discussion and deliberation of applicants remaining by Mayor and Council and reaching a consensus, the Mayor shall select one applicant to appoint to the vacant councilmember seat. The individual appointed may be sworn in and take their seat on the dais immediately following the appointment.

The appointed councilmember will hold office for the unexpired balance of the vacated seat’s term, as the vacancy occurred in the second half of the former incumbent’s term.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- ____: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Suisun City Appointing _________ to the Vacant Councilmember Seat for the Remainder of the Current Term
