Agenda packet — Suisun City City Council, August 19, 2025 (part 2 of 2)

STAFF REPORT:

The following addresses the concerns raised by Council and the public stemming from the July 15, 2025, Council hearing on the Project.

Parking
As originally stated in the July 15, 2025, Staff Report related to the Project, Assembly Bill 2097 (AB2097) generally prohibits imposing minimum parking requirements on most development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. This law, which took effect January 1, 2023, applies to residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, aiming to encourage transit-oriented development and reduce reliance on single-occupancy vehicles. By eliminating parking minimums near transit hubs, AB 2097 aims to: (1) reduce housing costs by allowing developers to build projects without the added expense of constructing parking spaces; (2) encourage the use of public transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and (3) promote denser, more walkable communities. This law is part of California's broader efforts to address housing affordability and environmental sustainability by reforming land use and transportation policies.

The Project site is located within one-half mile of the transit hub located at 177 Main Street, which serves Amtrak, Capitol Corridor, Solano County Transit, and Napa Valley Transportation Authority.

Further, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which is the regional transportation agency, designates the hub as a "major transit stop".

As it relates to minimum parking, the City may not impose, condition, or otherwise require a minimum specified number of parking spaces for the Project pursuant AB2097. To the extent that the greater Suisun Waterfront District may or may not need additional studying of parking capacity would be outside of the purview of the proposed Project. Therefore, the City would not be able to consider the perceived inadequacies of parking as a basis for consideration of the Project and to do so would be counter to the provisions of AB2097 and the State's mandates for additional infill housing development.

Quality of Life
During the July 15, 2025, "quality of life" primarily attributed to proximity of the Project to an area of regularly scheduled public events, was brought up. While events are frequently held in the immediate vicinity of the Project, the typical standards would apply to the Project that apply to any other Project throughout the City as it relates to noise and disturbance. While the Project would be near activities, such as festivals, music, markets, and holiday events, the Applicant would include disclosures to prospective tenants indicating the frequency of events. A condition of approval has been added to ensure that appropriate disclosures are included in so that tenants are aware of regularly scheduled events that may cause elevated periods of noise, and light.

Infill housing near activity is a common occurrence all over the world and could easily increase or 292
enhance ones "quality of life" just as easily as could be viewed as a negative. While living in or near a downtown area where noise and light is often increased beyond what might be found in a typical suburb, it provides a different type of housing variety to Suisun in providing housing that has views of the water, walkable to restaurants and services, and close to major highways.

Further, the Suisun Municipal Code establishes specific findings that shall be made by each entitlement.

These findings are the basis for approval and/or denial of Project and basing a decision outside of the confines of those findings, such as quality of life and/or parking constraints, could run afoul of the Government Code.

As outlined in the July 15, 2025 staff report, the above findings could be made; therefore, Staff and the Planning Commission recommended that Council approve the Project, subject to conditions of approval. The findings required for the Project do not speak to a quality of life per se, and moreover, would be speculative to make assumptions regarding quality of life of future tenants, especially when high density development, including near waterways, is common in many other communities that have waterfront development.

Therefore, while a quality of life as a broad discussion topic is acceptable, basing a decision on speculative quality of life concerns beyond the required findings above would be outside of the purview of what's legally required in Council's decision-making authority for the proposed Project.

Fencing
At the July 15, 2025, Council hearing, a question or concern was raised regarding the potential fencing of the property. However, to achieve the maximum number of units and based on the proposed Project's site plan, the structure is proposed at a zero-lot line, which means there are no setbacks or areas that could be fenced. Although the plans show porches/patios entering the ground-floor units, elevations indicate they aren't fully enclosed and, if approved, would need to be constructed per the plans.

However, to ensure that the property is not otherwise fenced as part of the Project, a condition of approval has been added.

Therefore, because the Project would be constructed based on what is proposed, including conditions of approval, fencing of the property would no longer be a concern.

Timing of Project
A question regarding the timing of the Project was raised and whether it was appropriate to consider the Project during an update to the Waterfront District Specific Plan. Absent of a moratorium or other legal mechanism to lawfully suspend the processing of development applications, to do so would be unlawful. Although the Waterfront District Specific Plan was contemplated, that in and of itself would not be a basis for suspending action on the proposed Project. As such, the existing adopted Specific Plan, including amendments, would continue governing development within its area.

Therefore, the Project application cannot be suspended or halted based on a desire to update to the Specific Plan.

Paint Color & Design
Several recent State laws, including the Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5; Government Code Section 65852.21 added by Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), which requires ministerial approval of two-unit developments; Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) law; and Density Bonus law require that cities apply objective standards to residential projects (including mixed-use projects for which 2/3 of the square footage is dedicated to residential use) and establish that a local agency cannot 293
disapprove a project that complies with applicable objective General Plan and zoning standards, including design review standards, unless it makes certain findings related to adverse impacts on public health or safety.

Government Code Section 65589.5 also prohibits cities from imposing conditions on affordable housing projects in a manner that render the project infeasible for affordable housing development, including through the use of design review standards, unless it makes certain written findings.

Objective design standards are defined by Government Code Sections 65589.5, 65913.4 and 66300(a) (7) as standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official before submittal.

Although the Project is not anticipated to be deed-restricted affordable, it is a housing project defined under the Housing Accountability Act, which requires applying only objective design standards as defined above. Therefore, a city's ability to regulate or impose design standards, absent of adopted objective design standards, is severely limited. However, the Applicant has agreed and is willing to work Staff on exploring other paint schemes prior to finalizing plans. Staff has included a condition of approval to reflect the Applicant's willingness to voluntarily explore other color schemes that would better complement the Waterfront District.

2035 General Plan Consistency
It's important to underscore that the Project meets and/or exceeds many of the goals, and policies, of the 2035 General Plan (General Plan); thereby, helping to advance the broader vision of the City by providing much needed infill housing, and addressing the housing crisis. The General Plan identifies several guiding principals, goals, and policies to which the Project achieves, including the ones identified below.

As shown, the Project conforms to many of the goals and policies identified in the 2035 General Plan by providing infill housing at the waterfront, and near the train depot. Although the Project would not include parking, several of the policies encourage and prescribe the City to reduce or waive parking to advance housing goals and foster infill residential development.

Therefore, the Project would comply with the General Plan in that it achieves the goals and policies shown below and would add much needed housing to the City.

Guiding Principles
Focus higher density development and mixed-use projects in areas adjacent to the train/intermodal depot.

Strategically develop the Priority Development Area to provide convenient, attractive housing, shopping, services, and employment in the Downtown neighborhood.

Strategically develop vacant, under-utilized, and infill land throughout the City, and especially in Downtown.

Foster transit-oriented development around the train/intermodal depot.

Utilize sustainable development and land use practices that provide for today's residents and businesses while preserving choices for the community in the future.

Community, Character, and Design Element
Policy CCD-1.13: The City will maintain and enhance a strong pedestrian orientation in the Downtown Waterfront Specific Plan Area through the design of buildings, streets, and sidewalks. 294
Policy CCD-4.3: New developments shall provide direct access routes to buildings from sidewalks and parking areas for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Policy CCD-7.2: New developments should front onto adjacent parks and open space, or provide windows, outdoor seating areas or other orientation to these features.

Land Use Element
Objective LU-1: Allow incremental change in Suisun City's neighborhoods that accommodates demographic shifts and meets evolving resident needs.

Policy LU-1.1: The City will encourage reinvestment in existing buildings and development of vacant and underutilized properties within existing neighborhoods.

Policy LU-1.3: The City will guide land use change so that public gathering places, commercial services, recreational or other civic uses, and cultural destinations are within walking or biking distance, or accessible via public transit to as many Suisun City residents as feasible.

Objective LU-2: Increase commercial, visitor, and residential activity, including 1,200 new dwelling units within the City's Priority Development Area by 2035.

Policy LU-2.2: The City will encourage business and personal services, government and other civic uses, professional offices, and high-density residential uses to locate within the Priority Development Area.

Policy LU-2.3: The City will accommodate transit-oriented, mixed-use, residential and employment development within the City's Priority Development Area between present and 2035.

Policy LU-4.1: The City will support the provision of facilities, services, or infrastructure only in areas that are planned for development. The City will not induce growth by supporting the provision of services or infrastructure in areas that are not planned for development under the General Plan
Policy LU-4.6: The City will maintain development and infrastructure standards that promote infill development and allow lot consolidation for redevelopment, where necessary.

Policy LU-4.7: The City will support specific plans, redevelopment plans, corridor plans, and other small area plans that promote infill development and reinvestment.

Transportation Element
Policy T-6.11: The City will support transit-oriented development by reducing parking requirements and requiring improvements designed to encourage transit use in Transit Support Areas. Transit Support Areas include areas within ¼ mile walking distance of bus stops and the train depot.

Objective T-7: Reduce the proportion of parking spaces that are unused during the daytime, evenings, or weekends.

Policy T-7.2: The City will prioritize on-street parking, shared parking, and, where appropriate, public parking garages to meet parking needs for destination land uses and reduce the need for surface parking.

Policy T-7.3: New developments should optimize and make use of on-street parking spaces prior to proposing additional surface parking.

Policy T-7.4: The City supports shared parking between multiple uses to the extent possible, and will provide incentives for property owners to share underused off-street parking.

Policy T-7.9: The City may waive or relax off-site parking requirements for infill and affordable housing projects that use shared parking, on-street parking, and techniques to reduce vehicular travel demand.

Economic Development Element
Goal ED-5: Promote revitalization and redevelopment of the Downtown Waterfront Area and 295
other areas within infill development potential.

Policy ED-5.2: The City will encourage higher-density housing and office employment in the Downtown Waterfront Area, which will be required in order to expand the customer base and allow increased retail and commercial service uses.

2023-2031 Housing Element
Goal H-1 Housing Opportunities: Provide housing opportunities for all segments of the community to meet current and future needs.

Goal H-4 Housing Constraints: Reduce or remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the development, improvement, and maintenance of housing Policy H-1.2: Maintain land use policies that allow residential growth consistent with the availability of adequate infrastructure and public services.

Program 1.B Encourage Mixed-Use Projects and Residential in Commercial Zones. The City shall incentivize development of residential units in mixed-use projects and residential units in commercial zones, specifically focused in the Downtown Waterfront Specific Plan, and Commercial Mixed Use zones, by providing incentives, including, but not limited to:

Priority project processing
Deferral of development impact or permit fees, where possible Flexibility in development standards, such as parking, setbacks, and landscaping requirements
Density and intensity bonuses
Support for infrastructure upgrades
Assist developers with securing additional financing
Policy H-4.3: Provide streamlined processing of residential projects to minimize time and costs to encourage housing production.

2016 Waterfront District Plan
The most recent Suisun City Waterfront District Specific Plan (Specific Plan) was adopted November 2016, with amendments in 2018, to establish the framework for a more vibrant downtown. The proposed Project is consistent with the Specific Plan in that it represents infill development at the waterfront providing housing within proximity to the train depot. Further, the Specific Plan identifies the Commercial/Office/Residential (C/O/R) zone as envisioning residential uses as a permitted a stand alone use.

Therefore, the Project is consistent with and would comply with the Specific Plan and its vision for Downtown Suisun City.

Summary
In summary, based on the collective information in the July 15, 2025, City Council Staff Report, along with this Staff Report, the proposed Project would meet and/or exceed many of the goals, policies, and vision identified in the 2035 General Plan, 2016 Waterfront District Specific Plan (amended in 2018), and the 2023-2031 Housing Element. Therefore, Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the Project.

Environmental Review
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15182 provides a specific exemption from additional environmental review under certain conditions. It is designed to streamline the CEQA process for qualifying residential projects that are consistent with a Specific Plan for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has already been certified. The project must be residential, mixed-use residential, or residential in conjunction with public infrastructure and be consistent with a Specific Plan that has 296
already undergone environmental review via an EIR. Finally, the project must not cause new significant effects or require additional mitigation measures beyond what was analyzed in the EIR for the Specific Plan.

Proposed Conditions of Approval
In addition to the conditions of approval identified in the July 15, 2025, City Council Staff Report regarding the Project, the following conditions have been added for consideration that would be included in the original conditions of approval:

P-9 Applicant shall work with Development Services Staff to explore and potentially revise the color scheme of the Project to ensure consistency with the character of the waterfront. However, the overall materials and building features shall remain the same as shown in the Project plans, unless otherwise approved by the Development Services Director.

P-10 Applicant shall not erect any type of fence or barrier that would otherwise close off the property. If, in the future, the Applicant would like to modify elevations of the Project, including adding fencing, the Project would have to comply with approval processes identified in the Suisun Municipal Code.

P-11 Applicant voluntarily committed to exploring parking solutions for the Project with City Staff to potentially provide parking for the residents.

Required Findings for Planned Unit Development Permit Site Plan/Architectural Review In order for the City Council to approve a Planned Unit Development Permit and Site Plan/Architectural Review Permit, specific findings are required to be made. These findings assure consistency with applicable regulatory plans and compatibility with adjacent land uses and residents. Below are the required findings:

PW-29 Trees shall not be planted within bioretention areas.

PW-30 The maximum allowable slope in landscape areas shall be 3:1, or as approved by City Engineer. Slopes steeper than the allowable slope would require the installation of retaining wall.

PW-31 The Project shall remove all existing groundcover from the planter strips located along the western frontage of the project site. This area is situated south of Driftwood Drive, east of Main Street, north of the existing public restroom near the southwest corner of the project parcel, and west of the existing sidewalk along the western frontage of the project site. The City Engineer reserves the right to modify the limits of this area as necessary.

New groundcover and/or shrubs shall be planted in these planter strips, along with the 303 installation of a 3-inch thick layer of bark mulch. In addition, the existing irrigation system and any damaged curbs within this area shall be repaired or replaced.

PW-32 Any City-owned facilities—such as the North Basin Parking Lot or other areas utilized during the course of the project —that sustain damage, whether in whole or in part, as a result of the project's activities, must be repaired or replaced at the sole expense of the project. Restoration shall be carried out to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and must return the facility to its original or better condition. This requirement applies to all City facilities used for purposes such as, but not limited to, personnel parking, truck or equipment access routes, construction staging areas, material storage, or any other project- related operations.

PW-33 The Applicant shall be responsible for the maintenance of the planter strips to be rehabilitated/reconstructed by the Project. This will require that the irrigation system for said planter strips, including the proposed raised planter located east of the proposed apartment units, be on an irrigation controller separate from the publicly -maintained planter strips.

PW-34 Dust control shall be in conformance with City Standards and Ordinances. Vehicles hauling dirt or other construction debris from the site shall cover any open load with a tarpaulin or other secure covering to minimize dust emissions.

PW-35 Street sweeping shall be regularly performed such that no evidence of tracking dirt shall be present on the public street.

PW-36 All relocated facilities shall meet state and local separation standards. Separation between proposed water and sanitary sewer pipes shall meet the latest Suisun -Solano Water Authority (SSWA) Design Standards, Standard Specifications, and Standard Drawings.

PW-37 Direct tapping of City or SSWA water mains is not permitted. Applicant shall install the required fittings in the existing or new main lines to accommodate the proposed water system. No existing water mains shall be shut down without specific permission of th e City Engineer and the Solano Irrigation District.

PW-38 No structures such as trees, buildings, and concrete foundations shall be installed within utility easements. Civil and landscape plan sheets shall show the utility easements and all other easements.

PW-39 Project improvements shall be in compliance with ADA requirements.

PW-40 The Project shall upgrade the following existing curb ramps with ADA -compliant curb ramps: a) Two existing curb ramps at the northerly entrance to the North Basin Parking Lot, and b) the existing curb ramp located at the existing ADA parking spaces by the southwest corner of the proposed building. If the Fairfield -Suisun Sewer District’s sanitary sewer force main project impacts this latter curb ramp, the District will be responsible for upgrading it as part of their project.

PW-41 Concrete for new and replaced sidewalks, curbs, gutters and curb ramps shall match in color the surrounding existing colored concrete.

PW-42 All new sewer lines and storm drain lines shall be pr ivate and shall be maintained by the Applicant.

PW-43 Prior to the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy, the Applicant shall submit to the Public Works Department “as-built” Improvement Plans in PDF format.

SOLANO IRRIGATION DISTRICT
SID-1 The proposed development will require connections onto the existing domestic water stubs per the SSWA Design Standards and Specification Details.

SID-2 Improvement plans must show all existing facilities located within the project site, along with all proposed modifications that will be required to serve the property (including the water lines on the West side of the property).

SID-3 Any waterlines or public water facilities not installed within a public right -of-way will require an easement granted to SSWA for the oper ations and maintenance of the public 304 facilities.

SID-4 At the time the Building Permit is issued, the developer will be required to pay the appropriate SSWA Connection Fee and Meter Installation Fee at the City of Suisun City.

These fees are determined by the size of the meter requested. All domestic water services will be metered.

SID-5 We require that the District (on behalf of SSWA) review, approve and sign all Final and/or Parcel Maps, and that SSWA review, approve and sign the Improvement Plans for t his development.

SID-6 The SSWA Plan Review Fee applies and is due upon submittal of the maps and plans for review.

SID-7 SSWA’s General Notes must be included in the Improvement Plans, and all proposed water system appurtenances and waterlines shall be constructed per the latest SSWA Design Standards and Specification and Details.

SID-8 Electronic AutoCAD files, GIS Shape Files, and .pdf files are required upon the completion of the project showing “as-builts” for electronic archiving.

Project Description:

The project/property in question is located at 400 Main Street, Suisun City, California.

The proposed building is located on an existing pad site along the Historic Suisun City waterfront. The first and second floors are proposed to accommodate 10 single story apartments each. The first floor fills the entire site, and no existing trees are to be removed.

Parking will be reliant on the city provided parking; however, the train station and other transportation hubs are easily walked to.

All apartments include a deck area that is accessible by main living room with views overlooking the downtown Suisun Waterfront area. Windows and glass doors capture views of the harbor and historic downtown areas. The 20 apartments include 28 bedrooms with 8 two-bedroom units and 12 one-bedroom units. Since the average renting household has 2.35 residents currently the expected occupancy of the 20 units would be 47 using the national average.

Mechanical units will be located behind the pitched roofs in an enclosed space not visible from street and screened from taller vantage points.

EXTERIOR:
▪ The design is based on craftsman architecture incorporating durable fiber cement siding in a staggered shingle, the aesthetics of natural wood and stone, and contrasting trim.

The variety of materials will highlight the traditional elements of the building while allowing the passerby to enjoy the comforting craftsman design elements. ▪ The building first floor has been raised to a first-floor level of ten and a half feet above sea level. The units on the west side of the building facing the adjacent parking lot have between two and four steps up to their entries in order to follow the existing grading.

The east side of the building will be re-graded to not require stairs up to the units. A short five step staircase will lead from Driftwood Drive with an accompanying walkway separated by a new planter to provide wheelchair access. ▪ Access to the second-floor apartments will be on the west side nearest to the parking lot through glass doors beneath covered entries with landings at the tops of the stairs.

No more than four second floor units will share a staircase.

FAIRFIELD-SUISUN SEWER DISTRICT
The site plan for the project shows the proposed utility connection points. Once the conditions of approval have been approved by the city a civil engineer will be added to the project team. • The trash enclosure will be located in the adjacent parking lot. Hot and water will be provided along with a floor drain connecting to a grease interceptor. • One new sewer line for apartments will be connected to a new proposed manhole on main street.
• Six storm water detention areas are indicated on the site plan. These will be connected to the existing storm drain DI located in the main street parking lot. 320

AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

AGENDA TRANSMITTAL

MEETING DATE:

July 15, 2025

AGENDA ITEM:

Council Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-___; Approving Planned Unit Development Application No. PLN-00003 and Site Plan/Architectural Review Application No. PLN- 00004 for a Twenty-Unit Multi-Family Residential Project at 400 Main Street (Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 0032-091-220).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is anticipated to contribute $15,500 in Community Facility District taxes annually. However, the overall contribution will be dependent on project specifics.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Provide Good Governance.

BACKGROUND:

The subject property, located at 400 Main Street, is a 0.16-acre parcel which is currently vacant. The site is located within the Waterfront District Specific Plan and designated as Commercial/Office/Residential (C/O/R), which supports multi-family housing development as a standalone project.

In response to the City’s ongoing efforts to address regional housing needs and support infill development, the applicant, Siavash Afshar, submitted an application proposing a Planned Unit Development (PUD) consisting of 20 multi-family residential units. The project is designed to provide a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom units, along with associated site improvements.

Due to the location and nature of the project, a PUD process is required in order to provide for design flexibility in site layout, architecture, and shared open space configuration, while maintaining consistency with applicable zoning and development standards. The project site is situated less than 800 feet from public transit (Suisun-Fairfield Train Depot) and within walking distance of schools, retail, and public parks, making it well suited for higher-density residential development.

This proposal comes at a time when the City is actively pursuing strategies to increase the availability of diverse housing options in alignment with the Housing Element and State housing mandates. The project is subject to Planning Commission review for consistency with zoning, design standards, and community compatibility through the PUD approval process. The role of the City Council in this case is to take action on the subject development application.

Good Neighbor Meeting
The project applicant held a Good Neighbor Meeting on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 6:30PM via Zoom.

The meeting lasted slightly more than an hour and allowed community members to ask questions following a presentation on the project. Following staff review of the transcript and recording, it appeared the key issues raised included:

• Parking
• Why first floor commercial wasn’t pursued in project design • Project appearance and site design
• Interaction of the private development project with the surrounding public space 323

Staff will be discussing these issues in some depth later in the staff report.

Planning Commission Public Hearing June 11, 2025
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Wednesday June 11, 2025. At the meeting, the Commission recommended City Council approval by a vote of 3-0 (with one absence and one abstention). As part of their recommendation, the Commission added a condition that the applicant/developer enter into a parking/maintenance agreement with the City and the developer submit a disclosure document for the future residents for the Development Services Director to review and approve. The intention of the parking/maintenance agreement would be to clearly define how the project's resident parking would be handled within the adjacent public parking lot via a permit parking system, or similar, as well as any maintenance responsibilities. Additionally, the disclosure document is intended to provide information about the project, make residents aware of the project's location adjacent to public space, and define responsibilites of residents including upkeep of their spaces from the exterior. A draft of the disclosure document has been included as Attachment 4 of this staff report.

STAFF REPORT:

The subject request is required to complete both a Planned Unit Development Permit as well as Site Plan/Architectural Review Permit. The applicant proposes the development of a 20-unit multi-family residential Planned Unit Development (PUD) on a 0.16-acre parcel located at 400 Main Street. The project includes:

• 20 residential units within a single building.
• A mix of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units.
• On-site manager’s unit.
• Available public parking to the west of the project. • Pedestrian pathways and bicycle parking.
• Landscaping consistent with City design standards.

Site Description and Context
• Current Use: Vacant
• Topography: Generally flat
• Surrounding Uses:

North: One Harbor Center (Office)
South: Suisun Slough
East: Public park (Sheldon Plaza)
West: Public Parking Lot

Zoning and Land Use Consistency
The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan designation of Downtown Waterfront (DW) and the subject specific plan designation of Commercial/Office/Residential (C/O/R). As stated within the Specific Plan, sites that carry the designation of C/O/R require a Planned Unit Development entitlement application. The PUD process allows for flexibility in site design while ensuring compatibility with surrounding development.

Planned Unit Development Permit
As stated in Section 18.72.010 of the Suisun City Municipal Code, “The Planned Unit Development (PUD) permit is designed and intended to provide for the orderly development of land in conformance with the comprehensive scheme contemplated by the land use element and other elements of the general plan of the city and specific plan, where applicable. The permit would allow a flexible design approach 324
to the establishment of a community environment equal to or better than that resulting from the application of the minimum standards of this title. The permit is designed and intended to accommodate various types of development, such as neighborhood and district shopping centers, professional and administrative office areas, multi-family housing developments, single-family residential developments, commercial service centers, and light industrial parks, or any other use or combination of uses which can be made appropriately a part of a planned development.” Further, Section 3.1.2.B Commercial/Office/Residential, “Generally, permitted and conditional uses allowed in this zone are the same as those permitted in the Main Street Mixed Use zone…and in addition, stand-alone residential project may comply with the allowed uses specified for the Residential Medium Density zone. Specific uses, location, layout and character of development shall be established by approval of a Planned Unit Development permit by the Planning Commission and City Council. Notwithstanding the flexibility provided by the PUD process, development standards should generally conform to those provided by the MSMU zone.”

PUD permits allow for certain deviations from standards in place of high-quality projects. The City Council must weigh the requested deviations against the overall project. Below is a table comparing the Waterfront District Specific Plan vs the proposed project considering setbacks, height, and parking.

As you can see from the above table, the project is requesting certain deviations to the applicable development standards for the construction of a two-story building with 8 two-bedroom units and 12 one-bedroom units. As specified in the “Planned Unit Development” discussion previously, the site is unique in size, location, and orientation which is why a PUD permit is required. Thus, this number of requested deviations is expected.

Application Process
Staff has been working closely with the project applicant over the past 12 months, making significant progress in the development and financing efforts for the proposed project. The project applicant first identified the lot in late 2023 and entered into a formal agreement with the property owners to develop the site on February 16, 2024.

After securing this agreement, the developer engaged with Suisun City officials, including the Principal Planner and the Director of Development Services, to ensure compliance with zoning and planning requirements. These discussions addressed zoning classifications, density, lot coverage, and other relevant regulations. The project applicant prepared a preliminary project description and submitted the required pre-application fee. A pre-application meeting was subsequently held, with representatives from multiple city departments—Fire, Police, Public Works, and Planning—providing comprehensive feedback, which was incorporated into the following planning stages.

To advance the project, the developer assembled a team of professionals, including an architect, civil engineer, landscape architect, soil engineer, and surveyor. Together, they began assessing the feasibility of various development options, identifying three primary areas of focus and challenge.

325
Challenges with Incorporating a Commercial Element
The initial concept was a four-story mixed-use building:
•
First Floor:

Approximately 7,000 sq. ft. of retail space.
•
Second Floor:
10 apartment units.
•
Third & Fourth Floors:
10 two-story residential units.

However, this plan required substantial infrastructure, such as dedicated parking spaces, an elevator, and other amenities. These features were complex to integrate due to the lot’s limited size. The spatial constraints made it challenging to meet both the commercial and residential requirements without compromising on building code compliance or usability.

Feasibility Exploration of Mixed-Use Development
To finance the proposed mixed-use building, the developer held discussions with various lenders, financing partners, and loan brokers. Although these parties were impressed with the property’s location and scenic views, they all emphasized that financing would be dependent on securing a fully executed five-year lease with reputable local or national retail tenants.

Moreover, many prospective commercial tenants had specific and costly demands, including:
• Drive-through capabilities.
• Large tenant improvement allowances.

These conditions significantly increased projected development costs and added further complexity to the financial viability of the mixed-use plan. Without a secured lease in place, financial institutions were unwilling to commit funding.

Financial Constraints and Other Challenges
The overall cost of construction—coupled with the financial burden of required amenities such as parking infrastructure, vertical access (e.g., elevators), and tenant improvements, created considerable financial obstacles. When compared with the current local rental market, both for commercial and residential units, it became evident that anticipated rental income from a mixed-use project would be insufficient to cover development costs.

Consequently, the project direction shifted toward a more modest and financially feasible residential- only development. This revised concept better aligns with the property’s limitations and integrates more naturally with the surrounding neighborhood. The site’s proximity to public transportation and its setback from Main Street make it particularly suitable for residential use.

Importantly, this residential focus is in line with Suisun City's recent downtown planning studies and economic development strategies, which promote increased residential density in the urban core. By adding more housing units ("rooftops"), the project would contribute to the local population needed to support nearby businesses and promote long-term economic growth.

Parking
Staff conducted a parking study, which can be found as Attachment 3 of the staff report, to assess existing parking availability and usage patterns in the downtown and waterfront-adjacent areas. The study was prompted by the proposed project and anticipated development projects. The City's goal is to ensure that sufficient parking resources are available to meet the current proposed project and future demands. City staff completed all data collection, including manual parking counts and occupancy 326
tracking, throughout multiple days and time periods. The analysis provides a summary of parking inventory, occupancy trends, and key observations.

Parking counts were conducted manually across five designated areas (Areas A–E) covering downtown Suisun City. Observations were made at different times of day (morning, midday, and afternoon) over the course of the week. Where parking spaces were unmarked, estimates were calculated based on standard curb lengths and vehicle spacing. Occupancy data was recorded to analyze peak usage trends and better understand the availability of parking resources during varied conditions. The map and attached spreadsheet contain detailed data, including day-by-day counts and occupancy percentages.

The following detail below represents the parking area zones (a corresponding map details the specific zones):

Area A (Driftwood to dead end, Downtown Main Street, Lot behind STA):
230 spaces
Area B (Kellogg Parking Lot):
130 spaces
Area C (Lawler and Theater Parking Lots):
44 spaces
Area D (Street Parking along Main Street):
109 spaces
Area E (Morgan, Line, Solano, and Kellogg Streets):
86 spaces
In total, the total number of public parking spaces across Areas A through E is 599 spaces (this total does not include residential parking spaces west of Main Street). Parking for the proposed project would be located in Area A.

Parking Area Analysis
City staff conducted parking occupancy surveys during typical business hours, targeting periods commonly associated with peak parking demands specifically around midday and into the late afternoon (see attached: Occupancy Tracking). These timeframes were selected to capture the highest likely usage and provide an accurate representation of parking conditions during peak demand. The resulting survey data revealed the following insights into each area:

Area A
– This area includes 230 parking spaces. Survey results showed consistently low occupancy rates, ranging from a low of 11% to a peak of just 20%. At no point during the survey period did occupied spaces exceed 47. Although the parking survey covered the broader downtown area, Area A is the most likely location to accommodate the parking demand associated with the proposed multifamily project.

Area B
– This area contains 130 parking spaces. Survey results indicated a low occupancy rate of 19%, with a peak of 56%. At no point during the survey did the number of occupied spaces exceed 74. While the data confirms there is generally ample parking availability, it also shows a clear trend of increasing demand as the week progresses. This pattern aligns with expectations, as Area B is centrally located within the City’s commercial core, featuring restaurants and service-oriented businesses. The combination of free parking and close proximity to these amenities contributes to the higher occupancy levels observed. Given its commercial nature and rising demand, Area B is not considered a suitable parking option for the proposed multifamily project.

Area C
– Based on survey data, Area C experiences the highest parking demand among all areas studied. Occupancy rates remained consistently high, never falling below 70%, and peaked at 95% as the week progressed. While this area shares a similar proximity to local services as Area B, it functions as the primary hub of activity in the downtown core. One key factor contributing to its high utilization is its convenient, fluid access from Main Street and reduced safety conflicts compared to Area B. 327
Additionally, Area C consists primarily of off-street parking, which is generally perceived as safer and more accessible for visitors to nearby businesses and services.

Area D
– Serving as the main thoroughfare through downtown, Area D showed a steady increase in parking occupancy as the week progressed, with approximately 50% of its 109 spaces occupied on average during the survey period. Despite its central location, the relatively small number of businesses along this stretch suggests that many vehicles are utilizing these spaces for long-term rather than short- term parking. This pattern may be attributed to residential spillover from neighborhoods west of Main Street, further contributing to sustained occupancy levels.

Area E
– Located along key east-west cross streets in the heart of downtown, Area E consistently maintained occupancy rates above 50% throughout the week. With 86 on-street parking spaces available, observed usage ranged from 38 to 60 occupied spaces during the survey period. This area offers convenient and ample parking options for visitors accessing downtown services and amenities, supporting its role as a vital component of the overall downtown parking network.

Summary Findings
An analysis of five key parking areas in the downtown district reveals varying levels of usage and potential for accommodating future parking needs. Area A, offering 230 spaces, is significantly underutilized, with occupancy rates ranging between 11% and 20%. With a peak usage of only 47 spaces during the survey period, Area A presents the most viable option for supporting the proposed multifamily development due to its consistent availability.

In contrast, Area B, which includes 130 spaces, experiences moderate to increasing demand, particularly toward the end of the week, reaching a high occupancy rate of 56%. Positioned within a vibrant commercial hub filled with restaurants and services, its parking demand aligns with expected patterns in such active areas. Given its commercial focus and rising utilization, balancing future residential that relies on Area B as its primary parking option is not recommended.

Area C stands out as the most impacted zone, with occupancy rates consistently remaining above 70% and peaking at 95%. Its prime location, off-street layout, and safer access from Main Street contribute to its heavy use. Due to its consistently high demand, this area lacks the capacity to support new residential parking needs.

Area D, which serves as a primary downtown corridor, maintains an average occupancy of around 50% across its 109 spaces. The parking spaces appear to be used predominantly for long-term stays, possibly by nearby residents or workers, indicating less turnover and availability for short-term or additional parking.

Finally, Area E, encompassing key east-west streets in the downtown core, shows steady occupancy between 44% and 70% throughout the week. With 86 total spaces, it serves as a dependable option for visitors accessing central downtown services, though not ideal for meeting future residential parking requirements.

In conclusion, while Areas B, C, D, and E serve important roles in supporting commercial and visitor parking, Area A offers the most potential to accommodate new residential parking demands due to its low usage and availability.

Project Parking Requirements
Under California state law, specifically Assembly Bill 2097 (AB 2097), cities and other public agencies 328
are generally prohibited from imposing minimum parking requirements on most development projects located within one-half mile of a major transit stop. This law, effective January 1, 2023, applies to residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, aiming to encourage transit-oriented development and reduce reliance on cars.

By eliminating mandatory parking minimums near transit hubs, AB 2097 aims to:
• Reduce housing costs by allowing developers to build projects without the added expense of constructing parking spaces.
• Encourage the use of public transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. • Promote denser, more walkable communities.

This law is part of California's broader efforts to address housing affordability and environmental sustainability by reforming land use and transportation policies.

The proposed multifamily development includes 19 residential units and one on-site manager unit.

Under previous local parking requirements, the project would have been required to provide 24 parking spaces, based on a calculation of 1 to 1.5 spaces per bedroom.

Recent changes in state legislation, along with the City’s Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) permit, have resulted in a more flexible approach to parking. Given the project's close proximity to a fixed-route transit center, the applicant, after collaborating with City staff, has chosen not to implement a minimum parking requirement. This strategic decision not only aligns with state policy goals to encourage housing development near transit but also aims to decrease dependence on private vehicles.

New state legislation allows the applicant to deviate from local parking requirements. Based on data collected during the City’s parking survey, the project’s location in Area A does not present a parking concern, as survey results indicate consistently low occupancy and no evidence of parking constraints in that area.

Lastly, there was an item that was raised at the Good Neighbor Meeting that pointed out that the public parking adjacent to the project restricted parking between the hours of 2-5AM. Staff would suggest that this issue be resolved by adding a condition of approval which requires the developer/applicant coordinate with the City to allow for issuance of special parking permits for any resident of the project.

As mentioned earlier in this report, parking was discussed at length at the June 11 Planning Commission public hearing. Following the meeting, staff researched how municipalities have handled similar issues including the interface of private development projects with public parking areas. As a result, staff has determined that municipalities typically issue either monthly or annual passes, associated with a fee,for residents which are commonly regulated by using license plate information. It is expected that as development increases in the downtown area, a robust analysis and solution will be required with input from the community and ultimate adoption of a policy by the City Council.

Architecture and Design
As a part of the application submittal, the applicant has provided a discussion on the project architecture and design. Below are key points from the submittal:

• The design is based on craftsman architecture incorporating durable fiber cement siding in a staggered shingle, the aesthetics of natural wood and stone, and contrasting trim. The variety of materials will highlight the traditional elements of the building while allowing the passerby to enjoy the 329
comforting craftsman design elements.
• The building first floor has been raised to a first-floor level of ten and a half feet above sea level.

The units on the west side of the building facing the adjacent parking lot have between two and four steps up to their entries in order to follow the existing grading. The east side of the building will be re- graded to not require stairs up to the units. A short five step staircase will lead from Driftwood Drive with an accompanying walkway separated by a new planter to provide wheelchair access. • Access to the second-floor apartments will be on the west side nearest to the parking lot through glass doors beneath covered entries with landings at the tops of the stairs. No more than four second floor units will share a staircase.

As the Council can see, the parcel is not only small in nature but also presents challenges in that the site elevation must be raised. As a result, solutions relative to access and interaction with the existing surrounding public space were needed. Staff has determined that these solutions are appropriate in this case.

Environmental Review
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §15182 provides a specific exemption from additional environmental review under certain conditions. It is designed to streamline the CEQA process for qualifying residential projects that are consistent with a Specific Plan for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has already been certified. The project must be residential, mixed-use residential, or residential in conjunction with public infrastructure and be consistent with a Specific Plan that has already undergone environmental review via an EIR. Finally, the project must not cause new significant effects or require additional mitigation measures beyond what was analyzed in the EIR for the Specific Plan.

Proposed Conditions of Approval
Following review of the project, staff has prepared several conditions of approval for consideration; however, staff has included some of the more complex conditions for City Council consideration:

PW-25 Applicant is to remove the existing trash enclosure located on the south side of Main Street between Solano Street and Sacramento Street. In addition, the project is to re-establish two public parking spaces at the latter location, which would require pavement resurfacing and striping.

This requirement applies to all City facilities used for purposes such as, but not limited to, personnel parking, truck or equipment access routes, construction staging areas, material storage, or any other project-related operations.

If the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District’s sanitary sewer force main project impacts this latter curb ramp, the District will be responsible for upgrading it as part of their project.

Required Findings for Planned Unit Development Permit Site Plan/Architectural Review In order for the City Council to approve a Planned Unit Development Permit and Site Plan/Architectural Review Permit, specific findings are required to be made. These findings assure consistency with 330
applicable regulatory plans and compatibility with adjacent land uses and residents. Below are the required findings:

2. That the proposed project along with the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan.

4. That the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15182 (Pursuant to a Specific Plan) (California Public Resources Code section 21000, et seq.) and the Guidelines thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations section 15000, et seq.) (collectively, “CEQA”).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, for the proposed multi-family project at 400 Main Street; and

1. Find the Project is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Per Section 15182 for a Twenty-Unit Multi-Family Project Located at 400 Main Street (APN 0032-091-220).

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025 - ____: Approving Planned Unit Development Application No. PLN- 00003 and Site Plan/Architectural Review Application No. PLN-00004 for a Twenty-Unit Multi-Family Residential Project at 400 Main Street (Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 0032-091-220).

Proposed 20-Unit Waterfront Apartment Development
400 Main Street – Suisun Marina, Suisun City, California Prepared for the Suisun City Planning Commission
Date: 06/17/2025
Prepared by: Sid Afshar, Sunﬁeld Development, LLC

1. Introduction
This disclosure document accompanies the staff report submitted in support of the proposed 20-unit waterfront apartment project at 400 Main Street, Suisun City, CA. In response to Planning Commission guidance, this document outlines how the development will support public waterfront character, ensure visual quality, and disclose key conditions of occupancy to prospective tenants.

2. Project Overview
• Project Name: AWANTA
• Type: Multi-family residential (20 units)
• Developer: Sunﬁeld Development, LLC
• Representative: Sid Afshar
• Architect/Planner:

Robert Sesar
Principal Architect
A2R Architects
• Zoning: Mixed-Use
• Waterfront Access: Directly adjacent to the Suisun Marina public promenade and walkways

3. Public Realm Integration

3.1 Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity
333

• Marina-adjacent walkways seamlessly integrated with existing public paths • Bike parking and street improvements to encourage non-vehicular access • Transparent edges and low fencing to support an open pedestrian experience

3.2 Visual and Physical Access
• Step-back building massing protects key waterfront view corridors • No physical barriers along the marina-facing perimeter • Public spaces remain accessible and connected visually to the water

3.3 Landscaping and Lighting
• Drought-tolerant and native planting for marina consistency • Downcast, warm lighting for safety and comfort
• No glare or spillover lighting into neighboring public walkways

3.4 Public Amenities
• Space identiﬁed for a potential bench or plaza area
• Opportunity for interpretive or historic signage facing the marina

4. Resident-Tenant Disclosure Plan
All tenants will receive a disclosure document at lease signing with the following key points:

4.1 Public Access Notice
Residents will be informed that the building borders a high-use public space, including walkways, boardwalks, and civic gathering areas.

4.2 Noise and Public Activity
Sound from boats, music, public events, and pedestrians may occur during evenings, weekends, and holidays. This activity is a core part of waterfront life.

334

4.3 View and Access Expectations
Residents will be notiﬁed that the waterfront views and amenities are shared public resources. No individual units will have exclusive rights to views, pathways, or access to marina frontage.

4.4 Community Engagement
Residents are encouraged to participate in civic efforts like waterfront cleanups, festivals, and environmental days that foster community ownership.

4.5 Visual Standards for Balconies and Exterior Spaces
To protect the visual integrity of the waterfront and maintain the development’s contribution to Suisun’s civic appearance, residents are strictly prohibited from displaying laundry, clothing, towels, household storage, or personal belongings on balconies, railings, patios, or other exterior areas visible to the public.

These areas are highly visible from public walkways and the marina. Maintaining a clean and orderly appearance contributes to the dignity and welcoming quality of the waterfront experience for all residents and visitors.

5. Response to Planning Commission Concerns
The development team has carefully considered Planning Commission concerns regarding transparency, public access, and the interface between private residences and the civic realm. In response:
• Public access will remain uninterrupted along the waterfront • The building’s massing preserves waterfront views
• All tenants will receive full disclosures regarding noise, activity, and behavior standards
• Exterior-facing balconies and patios will be regulated to prevent visual clutter

6. Conclusion
The proposed development at 400 Main Street reﬂects a community-centered design approach. It integrates new housing while prioritizing public access, view preservation, and shared waterfront pride. Sunﬁeld Development, LLC is committed to working in step with the City of Suisun to maintain a visually digniﬁed and accessible waterfront district. 335

6 Analysis - SPAR•Housing Accountability Act (HAA) severely limits residential design of “housing projects” unless onlyobjective design guidelines are imposed•Project is considered a “housing project” under the HAA, therefore, City Council review of residential design is limited•Project would meet or exceed applicable design standards•Project uses a variety of materials and articulation•Units are oriented towards the waterfront and exterior creating an “urban” character typical of infill development•Each unit has private balcony/patio space General Plan Policies & Waterfront District Specific Plan•Project meets many General Plan and WDSP goals and policy•Refer to the August 19, 2025, Staff Report for comprehensive list•Examples•Focus higher density development and mixed-use projects in areas adjacent to the train/intermodal depot. •Strategically develop vacant, under-utilized, and infill land throughout the City, and especially in Downtown. •Foster transit-oriented development around the train/intermodal depot.•Policy CCD-4.3: New developments shall provide direct access routes to buildings from sidewalks and parking areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. •Policy CCD-7.2: New developments should front onto adjacent parks and open space, or provide windows, outdoor seating areas or other orientation to these features. 11 12

7 Public Notice & Input•Good Neighbor Meeting (April 14, 2025)•Voluntary Neighborhood Meeting (August 6, 2025)•Issues raised:•Parking•Feasibility •Quality of life •Cost of rent Issues & Concerns•Parking•AB2097 (State Law) prohibits cities from imposing minimum parking requirements for residential projects that are within ½-mile of “high quality transit”. The Project is within ½-mile of a qualifying transit hub; therefore, the City may NOT impose required parking nor can the basis of a decision be related to parking.•Feasibility•Feasibility of the project is not necessarily in the purview of the City. The Project architect has drafted a plan that seemingly would meet or exceed applicable standards, and therefore, findings shall be made on the compliance with applicable regulations. •Quality of Life•Speculative quality of life concerns is not a legal basis for decision-making. Although the Project would be located near activity, this is common in many parts of the State, Country, and abroad. Also, quality of life is not a “finding” of approval that shall be made for basing a decision.•Cost of Rent•Any discussion of rental cost is not within the purview of the City and could run afoul of fair housing laws. The cost of rent is the business of the property owner/developer and should not be discussed and not be part of any decision-making on the project. 13 14

9 Conclusion•Project meets or exceeds many of the General Plan, and Waterfront District Specific Plan goals and policies by promoting infill residential development.•Issues and concerns raised were primarily those that are outside of the purview of the City for decision-making. Although some are valid concerns, State laws prohibit basing a decision on a residential project related to some of those concerns.•Housing is needed in downtown to help maintain existing businesses and support the local economy Required Findings1.That the proposed project along with the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the Suisun City General Plan, Title 18 “Zoning” of the Suisun City Municipal Code, and the Waterfront Specific Plan 2.That the proposed project along with the proposed conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will be consistent with the General Plan. 3.That the proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of persons residing or working in or adjacent to the neighborhood of such use, nor detrimental to properties or improvements in the vicinity or to the general welfare of the City.4.That the proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act per Section 15182 (Pursuant to a Specific Plan) (California Public Resources Code section 21000, et seq.) and the Guidelines thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations section 15000, et seq.)

The current Monthly Fee is based upon the current configuration of the computers and LAN and WAN systems at the relevant Client facilities, as described in Exhibit A and Exhibit B of this Agreement. As a matter of course, Apex may recalculate the Monthly Fee to adjust for Workstations or Servers added to or removed from the Client's network using the per site base fee, per workstation fee, and per server fee, as listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B of this Agreement. Systems removed from the network may not automatically be removed by Apex's auditing tool for up to 120 days, therefore it is the Client's responsibility to notify Apex if a Workstation or Server has been removed so that the monthly fee can be adjusted accordingly.

In light of such status and experience, Apex hereby covenants that it shall follow the customary professional standards in performing all Services. City relies upon the skill of Apex, and Apex’s staff, if any, to do and perform the Services in a skillful, competent, and professional manner, and Apex and Apex’s staff, shall perform the Services in such manner. Apex shall, at all times, meet or exceed any and all applicable professional standards of care generally exercised by like professionals under similar circumstances and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to City. The acceptance of Apex’s work by the City shall not operate as a release of Apex from such 352

6. Compliance with Laws. In performing this Agreement, Apex shall comply with all applicable provisions of federal, state, and local law.

7. Additional Services. Apex will not be compensated for any work performed not specified in the Scope of Services unless City authorizes such work in advance and in writing.

A. Automatic Renewal: This Agreement shall renew automatically for successive one (1) year periods unless either party gives notice to the other in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the anniversary date of this Agreement. If written notice of termination is provided to the other party at least 30 days prior to the anniversary date, then the agreement will terminate on the next anniversary date of the agreement. Each renewal of this Agreement shall be subject to the same terms and conditions in this Agreement except that upon each annual renewal the Monthly Fee (including the base fee, per workstation fee and per server fee) will increase by 3.5% to adjust for increased costs and inflation.

Apex T otal Support
Our Award-Winning Managed and Co-Managed Services
consist of four (4) key elements that all work together to provide stress-free IT.

1. Virtual Chief Information Officer (VCIO)

2. Remote IT Monitoring & Management T ools

3. Remote Help Desk Support

4. On-Site Support
11 376
Virtual CIO (vCIO)
• Strategic IT Planning and Budgeting assistance (5-Year) • Needs Analysis and Solution Evaluation and Recommendations • Regular meetings with Management team & Monthly Executive Reports • Project Planning and Management assistance (together with our full- time Project Manager)
• Relationship Management, Service escalations & personalized care • IT Policies, Procedures, Standards Development, Procurement and Purchasing
• IT Resource Management (licensing, inventories, warranties, etc.) • Coordination and Management of third-party technology vendors 12 377
Remote Monitoring & Management
A key aspect of Apex’s service is proactive monitoring, alerting, and patching of the Client’s network. Apex installs a small software agent on the Client’s supported devices, which monitors over 75 different metrics around the clock.

Most IT issues will be automatically detected early by this enterprise-class IT Remote Monitoring & Management
(RMM) software. When a monitoring alert is triggered, it automatically generates a Help Desk service ticket in our fully integrated CRM, Ticketing and IT Management software, ConnectWise. The Help Desk then fulfills their role in
addressing IT issues (described on the next page). We also manage and apply all Microsoft OS patches.
13 378
Remote Help Desk
• California-based Remote Help Desk.
• Staffed from 8:00am-5:00pm, Monday-Friday, excluding holidays. (Live Answering Service and On-Call Technicians after hours) • Suisun IT staff can escalate any ticket to the Help Desk – billable hourly at reduced rates.
• Our staff understand non-technical users
• Technicians log in remotely and address the user’s I.T. issues • Escalation to Level II and Level III technicians available • Tickets are also created by our monitoring software and will be assigned to Suisun IT staff if they are workstation/end-user based. • Tickets are prioritized and assigned by our Scheduling Coordinator • Technicians are able to address over 95% of I.T. issues remotely. • For the other 5% of the time, there’s On-Site Support 14 379
On-Site Support
With Apex’s enterprise-class remote Help Desk support in place, the vast majority of the Client’s IT needs will be addressed remotely (typically over 95%). However, there are those periodic issues that do require a technician’s physical, on-site presence.

In this case Apex technicians will reach out to Suisun IT staff. If they are not available, or prefer Apex to handle the issue, we can be dispatched to address the issue as needed. This time would be billable at discounted hourly rates.

One (1) quarterly on-site maintenance visit up to five (5) hours by your lead technician and VCIO is included: Additional on-site hours are available and billed at discounted hourly rates. 15 380
Project Services
Total Support Plans cover the ongoing support and maintenance of a client’s existing IT environment
• Anything else is considered a Project
• New Hardware configuration and installation
• New software configuration and installation
• Server upgrades of more than two hours
• “Materials” are also not covered under Total Support: Hardware, software, warranties, special projects, monthly subscriptions and/or cloud service charges would be billed separately. For example:

Office 365, Email SPAM Filtering, cloud backups etc. Costs for these can be provided if necessary.
