Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 4.6
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Union City Approving an Amendment to the City’s Compensation Plan and Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Side Letter Agreement with Operating Engineers, Local 3: Professionals’ Employee Group to Reclassify the Positions of Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to Transit Analyst I and II, Respectively, and Approving an Amendment to the City’s Classification and Compensation Plan and Salary Schedule in Conformance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the reclassification of Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to Transit Analyst I and Transit Analyst II, respectively, and updating the Classification and Compensation Plan to update the classifications and salary ranges for the reclassification of the Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to Transit Analyst I and Transit Analyst II, respectively.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item is aligned with the following Strategic Plan goal:

Goal B: Governance and Organization Effectiveness
Strategy 1: Align the provision of critical city services and the implementation of the Strategic Plan with current staffing levels.

BACKGROUND
The City has unsuccessfully recruited for the Transit Planner positions three times. As such, staff reevaluated the positions and concluded that these recruitment efforts have not been productive because the positions do not align with industry standards in both compensation and function. Staff is recommending amendments to both job titles and job descriptions to reflect job duties better. Staff have also broadened the job description and qualifications to attract a broader range of candidates. The updated titles and job 275 of 471
Agenda Item No. 4.6
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 13, 2026
descriptions also reflect the needs of the Union City Transit. Staff recommends reclassification for the existing classifications of Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to Transit Analyst I and Transit Analyst II, respectively.

DISCUSSION
The proposed reclassification and salary updates the Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to the Transit Analyst I and Transit Analyst II classifications, respectively, to align with the needs of the Union City Transit in the Public Works Department, to establish the necessary experience and skills expected for the role, and to support the programs and services administered in the Transit Division. These classification modifications were done in collaboration between the Human Resources Department and the Public Works Department leadership. The salaries for these positions underwent review in consideration of both the external market comparisons as well as the position’s relationship internally to the job series and division structure. The City met in good faith with Operating Engineers, Local 3: Professionals’ Employee Group (“OE3 PEG”) as required by law and has updated both the classification specifications and the salary determinations as follows:

Bargaining
Unit
Classification
Title Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
Professionals Transit Analyst I 8,070 8,474 8,897 9,342 9,809 Professionals Transit Analyst II 9,683 10,167 10,676 11,209 11,770 The proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a side letter with OE3 PEG to effectuate these changes.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with the recommended action, as funding for these reclassified positions was included in the FY 2025-2026 & FY 2026-2027 Adopted Biennial Budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to approve an amendment to the City’s Compensation Plan and authorize the City Manager to execute a side letter agreement with OE3 PEG to update the positions of Transit Planner Assistant and Transit Planner Associate to Transit Analyst I and II, respectively, and approving an amendment to the City’s classification and compensation plan and salary schedule in conformance with California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5.

Agenda Item No. 4.7
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Awarding a Construction Contract to SCC Electric, Inc., in the Amount of $167,500, Approving a Total Construction Budget of $185,000, Approving a Total Project Budget of $235,000, and Approving a Budget Transfer, in the Amount of $50,000, from the General Liability Self-Insurance Fund, for the City Hall – Mobile Generator Tap Box Project, City Project No. 22-29

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to SCC Electric, Inc., in the amount of $167,500, approving a total construction budget of $185,000, approving a total project budget of $235,000, and approving a budget transfer, in the amount of $50,000 from the General Liability Self-Insurance Fund, for the City Hall – Mobile Generator Tap box Project, City Project No. 22-29.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:

Goal D, Strategy 2: Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure – Implement the City’s capital improvement plan.

BACKGROUND
City Hall is an essential facility that includes general administration and 24-hour Police Department operations. In the case of an emergency, City Hall has a dependable backup generator to ensure the building does not lose power. However, to safeguard public safety operations, staff recommend installing an electrical connection (tap box) to provide a connection to a mobile generator. This will accommodate a secondary backup power option if the primary generator malfunctions. The construction project includes the installation of manual electrical transfer switches, a distribution panel, a generator tap box, trenching, boring, and conduit and conductors. This will allow City Hall to run power from a mobile generator, if necessary, located in the Police Department parking lot.

DISCUSSION
313 of 471
Agenda Item No. 4.7
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 3 January 13, 2026
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for the City Hall – Mobile Generator Tap Box Project, City Project No. 22-29, was advertised on the City’s website on September 22, 2025, and with the active builder exchanges listed in the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission’s Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual 2019 Edition. Five bids were received and opened on October 31, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. PST at City Hall.

SCC Electric, Inc., submitted the lowest bid, which was deemed both responsive and responsible, and all reference checks were satisfactory. Staff recommends awarding the construction contract to SCC Electric, Inc., of Novato, California, in the amount of $167,500.

The lowest bid exceeds the engineer’s estimate of $110,000 ($100,000 plus a 10% contingency amount of $10,000) by $57,500. This difference from the estimate reflects developments that occurred after the Request for Proposals (RFP) was released, including both a revised cost for conduit boring under the Police Department parking lot and a revision to the location of the tap box to the opposite side of the parking lot, as well as significant cost increases from the previous contractor quotes used as the baseline for the RFP. The tap box would be located adjacent to the retaining wall near Royal Anne Drive, farther from the active entry and exit points of the parking lot and building. This will keep the area nearest to City Hall available for staging equipment that may be needed for repair work on the permanent generator or the building during an emergency. Staff requests an additional $50,000 to cover the funding shortage.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total project budget for this project is as follows:

Project Component Amount
Construction $167,500
Construction Contingency $17,500
Total Construction Budget $185,000
Construction Management $50,000
Total Project Budget $235,000
The current budget for this project is $185,801 in General Fund Account Number 110- 92229-57100, leaving a $49,199 shortfall. Therefore, a $50,000 budget transfer is being requested. Staff recommends that the $50,000 be transferred from Fund 614 – the General Liability Self-Insurance Fund to General Fund Account Number 110-92229- 57100. In the General Liability Self-Insurance Fund, the City requested $650,000 from the Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority (BCJPIA) to be returned to the City last September 2025. For the past several years, ERMA dividends have been accruing to the City’s Contingency Account at BCJPIA. The total in our Contingency Account was just over $700,000 as of March 31, 2025, and with the concurrence of the City Manager, the City requested that BCJPIA return $650,000 of those contingency funds to the City. Staff determined that the City did not need such a large amount in the Contingency Account at BCJPIA and that funds would be better utilized for critical capital projects. After this $50,000 transfer from the General Liability Self-Insurance Fund, $600,000 will remain for 314 of 471

Agenda Item No. 4.8
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Union City Amending Chapter 2.05 (Campaign Reporting Requirements) of the Union City Municipal Code to Align the Electronic Filing Exemption Threshold with State Law

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 9, 2025, the City Council waived full reading and introduced by title only an ordinance amending Chapter 2.05 of the Union City Municipal Code to align the City’s electronic campaign filing exemption threshold with Government Code § 84615. The proposed ordinance lowers the exemption threshold from $2,000 to $1,000 in contributions and expenditures per calendar year, consistent with state law. Staff recommends that the City Council waive further reading and adopt the proposed ordinance.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item advances Goal B: Governance and Organizational Effectiveness by ensuring consistency between local ordinances and state law, strengthening regulatory compliance, and promoting clear and predictable campaign reporting requirements for candidates, committees, and the public.

BACKGROUND
In April 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 921-24, which updated Chapter

2.05 of the Union City Municipal Code to require mandatory electronic filing of campaign disclosure statements with the City Clerk. The ordinance included an exemption for filers who receive less than $2,000 in contributions and make less than $2,000 in expenditures in a calendar year.

Subsequent review by staff identified that Government Code § 84615 establishes a lower exemption threshold of $1,000 in contributions and expenditures for jurisdictions that mandate electronic filing. To address this inconsistency, the City’s Legislation and Policy Committee reviewed the matter on November 17, 2025, and recommended that the City Council amend the Municipal Code to align with state law. 321 of 471
Agenda Item No. 4.8
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 2 January 13, 2026
On December 9, 2025, the City Council introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 2.05.

The ordinance is now before the City Council for adoption.

DISCUSSION
The ordinance amends Section 2.05.050(A) of the Union City Municipal Code to revise the electronic filing exemption threshold from $2,000 to $1,000 in contributions and expenditures per calendar year, consistent with Government Code § 84615. No other provisions of Chapter 2.05 are proposed for amendment.

Adopting this ordinance ensures compliance with state law, eliminates ambiguity for campaign filers, and maintains uniform reporting standards. The City’s electronic filing system (NetFile) already complies with the technical and accessibility requirements of the Political Reform Act, and no operational changes are required to implement the amendment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

RECOMMENDATION
Waive further reading and adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Union City amending Chapter 2.05 (Campaign Reporting Requirements) of the Union City Municipal Code to align the electronic filing exemption threshold with state law.

Agenda Item No. 4.9
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Exercise the Second Option Year to the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., for Union City Transit (Fixed-Route, Paratransit, and Microtransit), with a Second Option Year Not-toExceed Amount of $8,157,217, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Contract Amendment in a Form Approved by the City Attorney

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to exercise the second option year to the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., for Union City Transit (fixed-route, paratransit, and microtransit), with a second option year not-to-exceed amount of $8,157,217, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
Goal A: Foster fiscal health through disciplined long-term planning and cost control, heightened efficiency, increased revenue, and cost recovery.

BACKGROUND
On March 14, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6096-23, awarding the Operation and Maintenance Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, to operate Union City Transit services after a competitive bid process. The base period of the ensuing contract, C5948, was twenty-one (21) months, beginning April 1, 2023, and ending December 31, 2024. The contract included four (4) types of transportation services:
• Union City Transit: Fixed-Route bus service in Union City • Union City Paratransit: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary service in Union City and Paratransit Plus non-ADA service to parts of Fremont, Hayward, and Newark
327 of 471
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 January 13, 2026
• Union City Flea: Zone-based on-demand microtransit service open to the general public in Union City
• Ride-On Tri-City!: Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV) service for residents of Fremont and Newark with destinations in Fremont, Newark, and Union City The Ride-On Tri-City! program was overseen and paid for by the City of Fremont.

On September 3, 2024, the City of Fremont awarded a contract for a multi-year pilot of same-day wheelchair-accessible van (WAV) service to Via Transportation, Inc., commencing on January 1, 2025. This action also included not exercising the Ride-On Tri-City! Service in the first option year of contract C5948.

On December 10, 2024, Union City Transit staff were presented with an adjusted cost proposal for contract pricing, reflecting staff who were partially funded through the RideOn Tri-City! Portion of the contract, but are key to Union City Transit's administrative and maintenance operations.

The difference in annual costs for the first option year was approximately $199,236, and Union City Transit believed it could absorb the 2.61% cost increase but indicated that it would need to start evaluating future option years for financial viability.

On December 30, 2024, Union City Transit staff issued a Continuation of Service letter to MV Transportation, Inc., based on the revised cost proposal.

On January 28, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-019, authorizing the City Manager to exercise the first option year of the Operation and Maintenance Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc.

On November 25, 2025, Union City Transit staff were presented with an adjusted cost proposal for contract pricing reflecting the recent union contracts for drivers and mechanics.

On December 29, 2025, Union City Transit staff issued a Continuation of Service letter to MV Transportation, Inc., based on the revised cost proposal.

DISCUSSION
Union City Transit initially awarded the contract based on a calendar year, meaning that the option years are tied to the calendar year starting on January 1 and not the fiscal year beginning on July 1. This was done because of the potential nexus with City Project No. 21-14, the Dumbarton Express Service contract, which is administratively overseen by the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), which preferred the term in calendar years rather than fiscal years. Union City Transit awarded the contract on March 14, 2023, presenting fiscal-year values for the City Council to consider and adopt to be consistent with the City of Union City’s biennial budget.

The table below shows Union City Transit’s three (3) services as approved initially, using six (6) months of each fiscal year (FY) to create the first option year, and the proposed cost changes in the same format, along with the percentage increase in total cost. 328 of 471

The difference in annual costs is approximately $137,263, and Union City Transit can absorb this 1.71% increase for the second option year. Still, it will need to implement service changes in February 2026 to ensure financial viability, as some State of California funds are expected to become unreliable.

Union City Transit has secured funding as follows for the second option year:
• Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307 ADA Set-Aside Operating • California Transportation Development Act (TDA)
• California State Transit Assistance (STA)
• Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP)
• Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) Measure BB This item is presented to the City Council for consideration because the contractual financial responsibility of the City is increasing beyond the threshold of the City Manager’s authority.

FISCAL IMPACT
The second contract option period of one (1) year will be funded with $5,561,147 from the Transit Fund (Fixed-Route Account Number 511-34002-54114) and $2,596,070 for fixedroute service from the Paratransit and Transit Funds (Paratransit Account Number 512- 34022-54114 and Microtransit Account Number 511-34042-54114) for demand-response services (paratransit and microtransit) for using funds from the FTA, State of California, and Alameda County.

There will be no impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to exercise the second option year to the Operations and Maintenance Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., for Union City Transit (fixed-route, paratransit, and microtransit), with a second option year not-to-exceed amount of $8,157,217, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract amendment in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 5.1
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Hold a Public Hearing and Waive Full Reading and Introduce by Title Only an Ordinance For Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) to Title 18, Zoning, of the Union City Municipal Code to Amend Chapters

18.08 Definitions; 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District; 18.36, Commercial Districts; 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District; and 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District, and Find That the Proposed Amendments are Exempt From the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15061(B)(3)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and waive full reading and introduce by title only an Ordinance (Attachment 1) approving Zoning Text Amendment AT-25-003. The proposed amendments, included in Attachment 1, Exhibit A (Clean) and Exhibit B (Redlines), aim to support local, small businesses and facilitate ongoing public projects.

At the December 11, 2025, special meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council on a vote of 3-0. Attached to this report are the following: Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 2), Draft Planning Commission Meeting Minutes (Attachment 3), Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment 4), and Planning Commission Meeting Desk Item (Attachment 5).

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is aligned with the following:

Goal C. Institute forward-thinking business, land use development, housing, social services, and public safety strategies that promote community growth and innovation.

BACKGROUND
In support of Union City small businesses and the City’s economic development goals, staff is recommending amendments to Chapters 18.08 Definitions, 18.27 Village Mixed Use (VMU) District, and 18.36 Commercial Districts to streamline requirements for live music and allow for event venues within the VMU district while maintaining the regulations 337 of 471
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 January 13, 2026
necessary to protect community health, safety, and wellbeing.

In response to concerns over limitations on live music from a Union Landing business, the proposed amendments extend “live music” hours for particular restaurant uses.

Additionally, staff received inquiries from an existing Union City business owner about establishing an event venue in the Historic Alvarado District. This effort supports the City's Economic Development strategy to drive investment in that area and reduce vacancies.

The proposed amendments also include updates to Chapter 18.50 Civic Facilities (CF) District and 18.92 Open Space (OS) Zoning District to support the build-out of important public projects. The proposed amendments allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the CF and OS Zoning Districts. This reflects the City’s past practice of allowing temporary contractor yards on City-owned property to support its projects and public utility projects sponsored by other agencies. The City addresses potential off-site impacts from these uses by entering into agreements with contractors performing the work that stipulate conditions for the use of the site. Temporary contractor yards, including temporary construction offices, are allowed on construction sites during construction; however, many public projects occur within public rights-of-way or on sites with limited or no vehicle access.

Additionally, the amendments clean-up regulations within the OS Zoning District to account for existing conditions. The clean-up would clarify lot size minimums and setbacks within the OS Zoning District.

Union City Municipal Code (UCMC) Section 18.92.200 states that public lands are not subject to the minimum lot size if they include uses such as parks, trails, day camps, historical sites, or other similar public facilities. However, lots designated as public lands are still subject to the required 100-foot setbacks. The majority of the City’s public parks are zoned OS. Almost all have lot areas under 10 acres, and the existing development does not meet the 100-foot setback requirements. While these lots can continue to exist as they are legal non-conforming, this would technically limit the City’s ability to make further improvements to these lots. To address these issues, the proposed amendments would eliminate setbacks for publicly owned lands.

Several lots were zoned OS because they were designated as "hazardous lands". UCMC Section 18.92.020 defines hazardous lands as “lands hazardous to the public health, safety, and welfare (evidence of faults, folding, ground movement, slopes, unstable soil bearing valves, natural fire areas, areas susceptible to floods and other similar conditions).” Many of these lots do not meet the minimum lot area required by UCMC Section 18.92.070. The proposed amendment would eliminate lot area minimums for lots designated as hazardous lands.

Lastly, due to the number of existing lots within the OS Zoning District measuring under 10 acres, the proposed amendments would reduce the setbacks for these lots. The current 100-foot setbacks may affect the developability of sites under 10 acres.

DISCUSSION
A high-level summary of the amendments is included below. For a more detailed review, see Attachment 1A - Exhibit A (Clean) and Attachment 1B- Exhibit B (Redlines). 338 of 471
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 January 13, 2026
A. Chapter 18.08, Definitions
The amendments to Chapter 18.08 adjust the numbering and add a definition for “event venue.” This definition is needed to clarify which operations fall under this use.

B. Chapter 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.27 allow “event venue” as a conditional use within the VMU District and establish additional standards for event venues. These additional standards require a security plan and facilitate outdoor operations.

C. Chapter 18.36, Commercial Districts
The amendments to Chapter 18.36 modify standards for live music. These modifications include:
• Modifying where non-amplified and amplified live music is permitted, • Removing burdensome regulations that are difficult to track and enforce; and • Clarifying requirements.

D. Chapter 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.50 allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the CF Zoning District.

E. Chapter 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District
The amendments to Chapter 18.92 allow for “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the OS Zoning District.

Additionally, the amendment would modify site area and yard standards by eliminating minimum site areas for public and hazardous lands, eliminating setbacks for public lands, and reducing setbacks for sites under 10 acres to mirror those in the Agricultural Zoning District.

Planning Commission
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments at a public hearing on December 11, 2025. The Planning Commission discussed various aspects of the proposed amendments, including pending applications that would benefit from the amendments, impacts on residential uses, overnight policing issues, and the applicability of standards. Commission members regarding the extended hours for live amplified music and how that may contribute to late-night policing issues. Staff clarified that they consulted with the Police Department regarding the proposed amendments and that there were no objections. For more details, please refer to the Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes (Attachment 3).

The Planning Commission also considered a Desk Item (Attachment 5) involving questions and comments from Commissioner Lew. The Desk Item included minor edits that are incorporated into the attached amendments for consideration by the City Council.

The Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend approval of the proposed 339 of 471
Agenda Item No. 5.1
City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 4 January 13, 2026
amendments, as modified by the Planning Commission Desk Item, to the City Council.

The attached amendments also reflect a minor update to the terminology proposed by staff, to provide additional clarity, which was added after the Planning Commission took its action. Specifically, staff updated the term “event space” to “event venue.” Public Notice
Consistent with state law notice requirements, public hearing notices were published in The Fremont Argus Newspaper for the Planning Commission and City Council public hearings. As of the publication date of this staff report, no public comment has been submitted regarding the proposed amendments.

FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the proposed zoning text amendments would have no fiscal impact on the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation, staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and waive full reading and introduce by title only an Ordinance (Attachment 1) approving Zoning Text Amendment AT-25-003 and find that the proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3).

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNION CITY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals
The above recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. CEQA
Approval of Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) is exempt from environmental review per the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15061(b)(3), the general exemption for projects with no potential for significant effect on the environment. As a series of text amendments, the amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3. Findings
The City Council makes the following findings in support of the approval of this Ordinance, based on the whole of the record before it.

1. That the proposed Zoning Text Amendments are consistent with the following Union City 2040 General Plan policies. There are no applicable specific plans. • Policy ED-3.1 Support Local Business Expansion, Policy ED-7.3 Remove regulatory barriers and Policy SA-11.9 Allow Uses that Support the Vision for the Historic Alvarado District. The proposed amendments implement these policies through removing regulatory barriers which have made it difficult for local businesses to expand and allow for new use in the VUM zoning district that supports the vision of the Historic Alvarado district. • Policy PF-3.1 Enhance and Improve water service and Policy PF-3.2 Preserve and Enhance Water Supply. The proposed amendments support these policies by facilitating the use of City owned property as temporary contractor yards for public projects including utility improvements by USD and ACWD.

Planning Commission Staff Report Page 1 of 4 December 11, 2025 Agenda Item No. 5.2.2
DATE: December 11, 2025
TO: Members of the Planning Commission
FROM: Carmela Campbell, Economic and Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) to Title 18, Zoning of the Union City Municipal Code to Amend Chapter 18.08, Definitions;

18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District; 18.36, Commercial Districts; 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District; and 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District.

APPLICANT: The City of Union City
REQUEST: The City of Union City is proposing to update its zoning regulations in Chapters 18.08 Definitions; 18.27 Village Mixed Use (VMU) District;

18.36 Commercial Districts; 18.50 Civic Facilities (CF) District; and

18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District of Title 18, Zoning, of the Union City Municipal Code.

LOCATION: Citywide
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:

The amendments are exempt from environmental review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general exemption for projects with no potential for a significant effect on the environment. As a series of text amendments, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the amendments will have a significant effect on the environment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City has received feedback from local businesses regarding current regulations and allowed uses. Staff has reviewed the feedback and is proposing amendments which streamline the regulations and expand the allowed uses. Further the City is proposing minor amendments to facilitate ongoing projects on city owned property and clean up regulations in the Open Space (OS) zoning district.

The City is proposing to amend Chapters 18.08 Definitions; 18.27 Village Mixed Use (VMU) District; 18.36 Commercial Districts; 18.50 Civic Facilities (CF) District; and 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District of Title 18, Zoning, of the Union City Municipal Code (UCMC). The proposed zoning text amendment aims to support local businesses in terms Attachment 2
358 of 471
Agenda Item No. 5.2.2
Planning Commission Staff Report Page 2 of 4 December 11, 2025 3 2 of operations and allowed uses and facilitates ongoing projects on City-owned properties.

See Attachment 1A - Exhibit A Zoning Text as Amended (Clean) and Attachment 1BExhibit B Zoning Text as Amended (Redlines) for the proposed amendment wording.

I. BACKGROUND
The City has received feedback that current regulations regarding live music are burdensome as they require live music to cease at 12:00 pm. Additionally, staff received inquiries regarding needed event space within the Historic Alvarado District. Staff reviewed this feedback and recommends amendments to Chapters 18.08 Definitions,

18.27 Village Mixed Use (VMU) District, and 18.36 Commercial Districts to streamline requirements for live music and allow for event spaces within the VMU district while maintaining the regulations necessary to protect community health, safety, and wellbeing.

Amendments are proposed to Chapter 18.50 Civic Facilities (CF) District and 18.92 Open space (OS) Zoning District to support City and other public entities’ projects.

The City has entered into agreements for establishment of temporary contractor yards on City-owned property to support its projects as well as outside utility projects. Temporary contractors’ yards/ construction offices are routinely allowed on site during a construction project; however, many public projects occur within the public rights of way or on sites which have limited or no vehicle access. To support these important public projects the city is proposing to allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the CF and OS zoning districts.

Additionally, the amendments clean-up regulations within the OS district to account for existing conditions. The clean-up would clarify lot size minimums and setbacks within the OS Zoning District.

Union City Municipal Code (UCMC) Section 18.92.200 states that public lands are not subject to the minimum lot size if they include uses such as parks, trails, day camps, historical sites, other similar public facilities. However, lots that are designated public lands are still subject to the required 100-foot setbacks. The City’s public parks are zoned Open Space. Almost all have lot areas under 10 acres, and the existing development does not meet the 100-foot setback requirements. While these lots can continue to exist as they are legal non-conforming, this would limit the city’s ability to make further improvements to these lots. To address these issues the proposed amendments would eliminate setbacks for publicly owned lands.

There are a number of lots which have been zoned open space due to them being designated "Hazardous lands". UCMC Section 18.92.020 defines Hazardous lands as “lands hazardous to the public health, safety, and welfare (evidence of faults, folding, ground movement, slopes, unstable soil bearing valves, natural fire areas, areas susceptible to floods and other similar conditions).” Many of these lots do not meet the minimum lot area required by UCMC Section 18.92.070. The proposed amendment would eliminate lot area minimums for lots designated Hazardous lands.

Lastly, due to the number of existing lots within the OS district which are under 10 acres the proposed amendments would reduce the setbacks for these lots. The current 100- feet setbacks make many of these lots undevelopable even for uses which are permitted in the zoning district.

II. DISCUSSION
A high-level summary of the amendments is included below. For a more detailed review, 359 of 471
Agenda Item No. 5.2.2
Planning Commission Staff Report Page 3 of 4 December 11, 2025 3 2 see Attachment 1A - Exhibit A Zoning Text as Amended (Clean) and Attachment 1B - Exhibit B Zoning Text as Amended (Redlines).

A. Chapter 18.08, Definitions
The amendments to Chapter 18.08 adjust the numbering and add a definition for “Event space”. This definition is needed to clarify the operations which would fall under the event space use.

B. Chapter 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.27 allow “event space” as a conditional use within the VMU district and establishes additional standards for event space uses. These additional standards require a security plan and facilitate outdoor operations.

C. Chapter 18.36, Commercial Districts
The amendments to Chapter 18.36 modify standards for live music. These modifications include:
• Modifying where non amplified and amplified live music is permitted. • Removing burdensome regulations which are difficult to track and enforce • Clarifying requirements
D. Chapter 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District
The amendments to Chapter 18.40 allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the CF zoning district.

E. Chapter 18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District
The amendments to Chapter 18.92 would allow “temporary contractor yards for public projects on publicly owned properties” as a permitted use within the OS zoning district.

Additionally, the amendment would modify site area and yard standards by eliminating minimum site areas for public lands and hazardous lands, eliminating setbacks for public lands, and reducing setbacks for sites under 10 acres.

F. Consistency with the General Plan
The proposed Zoning Text Amendments are consistent with the following Union City 2040 General Plan policies. There are no applicable specific plans. • Policy ED-3.1 Support Local Business Expansion, Policy ED-7.3 Remove regulatory barriers and Policy SA-11.9 Allow Uses that Support the Vision for the Historic Alvarado District. The proposed amendments implement these policies through removing regulatory barriers which have made it difficult for local businesses to expand operations and allow for new use in the VMU zoning district that supports the vision of the Historic Alvarado District. • Policy PF-3.1 Enhance and Improve water service and Policy PF-3.2 Preserve and Enhance Water Supply. The proposed amendments support these policies by facilitating the use of City owned property as temporary contractor yards for public projects including utility improvements by USD and ACWD.

Natalie Dean, Associate Planner, provided a PowerPoint presentation for Use Permit (UP-25- 006).

Ms. Dean reported a Desk Item was prepared in response to questions/comments from Commissioner Lew.

Ms. Dean recommended the Planning Commission approve Use Permit (UP-25-006), making the specific findings listed in Section III of the staff report, subject to the conditions of approval, as modified by the Desk Item, and adopt a resolution confirming this action.

Commissioner Lew thanked staff for the Desk Item. She asked If the business is successful whether overflow parking will be provided on the street.

Carmela Campbell, Economic & Community Development Director, stated staff will have to take a look and added, generally speaking, on-street parking is prevalent throughout the Central Bay area but staff will have to confirm for this specific street.

Chairperson Mclelland asked for clarification on who the owner/operator was since the agenda showed Rajwant Shoker as the owner.

Ms. Dean explained that Rajwant Shoker is the owner of the building/property.

Chairperson Mclelland expressed concern about the adequacy of parking in the area. She added she is familiar with the area since her daughter dances at the dance studio, parking is generally not an issue, but during certain times of the year, there is no parking, particularly during Ramadan because of the religious school there, events at the Burmese Center, and other businesses that held events where off-street parking may be an issue. She understood the key will be for the applicant to work closely with the other tenants and ensure there is communication since parking can be difficult.

Ms. Campbell thanked the Chair for the feedback.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Kent Liu, 33501 Western Avenue, Union City, explained the business will operate as Align Yoga and Pilates and added for the last ten years he has been a tenant in the space, operating a shipping business in the same exact location and is familiar with the area. He added he is also a licensed Realtor, a Public Notary and has served in the Navy Reserves and as a veteran he values discipline and as a long-term tenant understands a successful plaza relies on stability and good neighbors. He further added the vision is to create a low-density wellness sanctuary for the community and the tenant space will be kept as-is because the existing layout is perfect with no interior construction needed. He stated the low occupancy is by-design, with the space physically divided into two zones; a Pilates room with heavy stationary equipment and class size to be limited 363 of 471
Planning Commission Minutes 3 December 11, 2025
to one student per machine, and a yoga space to be limited to small group instruction. He stated pre-registration is required, which guarantees the studio will not exceed the limits set.

In terms of parking and compliance, Mr. Liu acknowledged during certain events in the evening and sometimes on weekends, the parking lot has been full but before that happens notices are provided when certain events are scheduled, which allows the business to plan accordingly. He added the business will cap its total occupancy to 15 people at any given time and schedule a buffer between classes such that vehicles may leave the parking lot before others come in and this was planned for their customers and their neighbors. He further added the equipment in the space will be non-motorized, with no noise and no loud music planned, and with no vibration or any other noise impacts. He stated the studio will operate in the same fashion he operated his shipping business, quiet and courteous to his neighbors and added he is proud to invest in the plaza and be a member of the community.

Commissioner Elizondo asked about the hours of operation.

Mr. Liu stated the hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and on the weekends, the hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Sundays. He added the yoga and Pilates sessions will be around 45-minutes in length with a 15-minuute gap between sessions.

Commissioner Elizondo found the applicant is doing the best possible to accommodate the parking situation with the hours of operation as well as limiting the sessions. He asked if there are any plans for private events or private sessions after-hours.

Mr. Liu emphasized the plan to operate within the hours of operation as stated and everything will require pre-registration. He also clarified there will be ten people per class, one instructor, and an employee, with 13 to 15 people tops, one class at a time with no concurrent classes.

Chairperson Mclelland agreed the key will be communication with all of the other tenants so they can coordinate events to ensure ample parking for the applicant’s clients. Given the tenants currently communicated with each other, she is confident it will work out well.

Ms. Campbell stated that staff confirmed street parking is allowed on Western Avenue.

Commissioner Elizondo asked if there will be any limitations for on-street parking.

Ms. Campbell advised on-street parking is allowed on Western Avenue and the only limitation is that large trucks are not allowed to park on the street. She added there are also some red curbs around the driveways, which is typical for visibility.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Commissioner Lew moved that the Planning Commission approve Use Permit (UP-25-006), making the specific findings listed in Section III of the staff report, subject to the conditions of approval, as modified by the Desk Item, and adopt a resolution confirming this action.

Commissioner Elizondo seconded. A Roll Call vote was taken.

The motion passed 3-0.

5.2.2 Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003) to Title 18, Zoning of the Union City Municipal Code to Amend Chapter 18.08
364 of 471
Planning Commission Minutes 4 December 11, 2025
Definitions; 18.27, Village Mixed Use (VMU) District; 18.36, Commercial Districts, 18.50, Civic Facilities (CF) District and

18.92, Open Space (OS) Zoning District.

Brandon DeLucas, Contract Senior Planner, provided a PowerPoint presentation which included an overview of the proposed Zoning Text Amendments (AT-25-003) to Title 18, Zoning of the Union City Municipal Code.

Mr. DeLucas reported a Desk Item was prepared in response to questions/comments from Commissioner Lew regarding the amendments.

Staff recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of Zoning Text Amendment (AT-25-003), as modified by the Desk Item, to the City Council, and make the specific findings as listed in the Planning Commission resolution, in support of the recommendation of approval, and adopt the resolution confirming this action.

Commissioner Lew commented the staff report inferred there is a pending application for event space. She asked for more details from staff.

Mr. DeLucas confirmed there is interest in converting an old historic bank building on Union City Boulevard into an event space, and staff is currently processing an application. He confirmed there were some construction issues with the property in that ultimately it was unable to move forward as a veterinary clinic and added the property had later been sold. He further added the application is under review and involves a current event planner who desires not to rent other facilities and wants his own facility to host events. He stated the intent is for the site to be an event space. He added parking for the specific site will be analyzed as part of the staff review; however, pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 2097, parking requirements cannot be imposed on the project and concluded by stating the project will be discussed when the specific application is brought forward to the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Lew finds the subject project confusing possibly because of the way it is written, in that it is not consistent throughout. She stated, as an example, event spaces are defined in the Village Mixed Use (VMU) District but were changed a bit for the Commercial Districts. She suggested there are many inconsistencies and questions on the way the text amendments are written, which is why she has so many questions. She added she did not like the idea of live/amplified music being allowed late in the evening, particularly in proximity to residential uses, whether in a residential or the Village Mixed Use District.

Mr. DeLucas stated live music is allowed until 12:00 a.m. for facilities within 500 feet of residential zoning districts and for facilities 500 feet or more from a residential zoning district, amplified live music shall end by 2:00 a.m.

Ms. Campbell clarified currently the Union City Municipal Code (UCMC) allowed live music up to 12:00 a.m. for restaurants and added that regulation is being expanded for facilities 500 feet or more from a residential zoning district, to allow live music until 2:00 a.m.

Commissioner Lew suggested 2:00 a.m. is too late to allow amplified live music, particularly in the VMU District.

Ms. Campbell clarified that although the provision allows for amplified live music, any use must conform with the City’s Noise Ordinance and added should the City receive complaints, noise measurements will be done and if it is found the noise is in excess of the City’s noise limits, the 365 of 471
Planning Commission Minutes 5 December 11, 2025
City may conduct enforcement. She added if there are concerns with noise, the City will hire a third-party consultant and work with them to measure the sound.

Diana Cangco, City Engineer, clarified, when asked about the 500-foot limitation, that 500 feet on Smith Street is between Watkins Street to Fredi Street.

Ms. Campbell clarified that along Smith Street there is Fredi Street and Watkins Street, and between these two streets is about 500 feet given that the blocks are small in these areas.

Mr. DeLucas further clarified there is residential in the VMU District and most operations within the VMU District will not be able to utilize the 2:00 a.m. expansion for amplified live music and will be limited to amplified live music to 12:00 a.m. He added this edit is also in the Commercial Districts and will apply to commercial uses including those in Union Landing.

Ms. Campbell reported that Gerry’s Grill, a restaurant in Union Landing, has reached out to the City and requested the extension of amplified live music to 2:00 a.m. as opposed to being limited to 12:00 a.m. She added when staff originally came up with the standards for amplified live music, they initially thought there was going to be a proliferation of uses having live music and there was concern, but staff found it is not an issue. She stated staff also spoke to the Union City Police Department about this change, and the Police Department had no issues. She added Police are assigned specifically to Union Landing and the Police Department again raised no concern.

Commissioner Lew reiterated her concern with the VMU District given housing intermingled with other uses. She added she is aware of one restaurant that wants event space since it has an outdoor area.

Mr. DeLucas clarified the restaurant being referenced was Birdhaus Beer Garden, which is a restaurant that has an outdoor beer garden. He clarified the primary use of the business was not an event space, but a restaurant, with the outdoor beer garden defined as an accessory space.

Commissioner Lew asked if Birdhaus Beer Garden has an area for organizations to come in and celebrate certain events and asked if that is considered an event space.

Mr. DeLucas clarified that Birdhaus Beer Garden is a restaurant with 50 percent of the primary use of the business as a restaurant. He added the business is allowed to have an accessory use that is incidental to the primary use and a party room or event room as part of a primary use is considered incidental and accessory. He further added the owner is not required to apply for a permit for an event space to hold certain events, such as celebrations over the weekend, as an example. Mr. DeLucas concluded that the business is subject to its own permit requirements but did not fall under the event space use category since events were not 50 percent of the use.

Commissioner Lew understood each business will have to decide if they want an event space.

Mr. DeLucas provided another example of a party or birthday room in the back of a restaurant would not trigger the event space requirement since it is not the primary use of the site.

Commissioner Lew asked about the requirements if an existing business requests event space in the VMU District.

Mr. DeLucas reiterated there is a pending application for the property, which had previously envisioned a veterinary clinic, to use the inside of the building as an event venue.

Commissioner Lew suggested that space is not large enough to accommodate events. 366 of 471
Planning Commission Minutes 6 December 11, 2025
Ms. Campbell acknowledged there are few large spaces in the VMU District that can accommodate an event, which is why staff has few concerns with off-site impacts. She added the use of amplified live music at sit-down restaurants or events involves staff level approval and staff can take into consideration things like impacts to nearby neighbors or any other concerns.

She further added the review of permits is site specific.

Commissioner Lew commented on discussions related to the General Plan years ago when there were noise complaints about the Mark Green Sports Center. She added in that case the City did nothing about the issue, which is why she is convinced noise measurements will not be taken.

Ms. Campbell clarified there have been some recent noise complaints in the City, but in order to resolve these issues the City must establish whether there is an issue, which is done through noise measurements prior to enforcement and potential requests for mitigations. She added as to the complaints about noise from the Mark Green Sports Center, she understood the issue was more operational such as people opening doors and not keeping the building closed. She further added she was uncertain how the noise issues were ultimately resolved, she is not aware of any recent issues with the facility, and staff can follow up.

Commissioner Lew stated she has a neighbor who plays live music around three times a year during certain events, until 11:00 p.m. or 12:00 a.m., but she is unaware if any complaints were made from her neighbors. She otherwise had no further comments on this issue and thanked staff for their input.

Commissioner Elizondo had no issue with businesses remaining open with live music until 2:00 a.m. but asked if alcohol is also served until 2:00 a.m., which can result in other issues. He asked if the sale of alcohol could be limited to 1:00 a.m.

Ms. Campbell understood alcohol is allowed to be served until 2:00 a.m. but she is uncertain of the specific restaurant’s operations.

Mr. DeLucas reiterated that type of issue will be part of an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) review process and if there are issues, staff can restrict the hours of the sale of alcohol and that may also include possible revocation of a use permit if there are unresolved issues.

Commissioner Elizondo asked if the security standards for each location will involve one set standard or be adaptable to each restaurant.

Mr. DeLucas explained there will be a checklist with requirements including insurance, no loitering or may require security or cameras to be installed. He added the items on the checklist are evaluated by the Union City Police Department, who may require additional recommendations to be incorporated as part of the use permit and as conditions of approval.

Chairperson Mclelland referenced the scenario of using City property to store items and asked if there is a way to ensure a site will not be left unsightly and allowed to become a dumping ground.

Mr. DeLucas stated for City-owned property, the City, as the property owner, may set standards as to the use of the site and may require fencing as a screen or require maintenance of the property.

Staff Report
Agenda Item No. 6.1
DATE: January 13, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Operating and Management Agreement, in a Form Approved by the City Attorney, with the Union Landing Property Owners’ Association

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District (“ULPBID”) is an Assessment District created by the City, with approval of the property owners, to fund security, administration, and marketing services for the Union Landing Shopping Center.

The ULPBID was renewed for the period of July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2030.

Due to City staff stepping down from managing the ULPBID and the Union Landing Property Owners' Association (ULPOA) hiring a third-party management company, it is necessary to agree with the City and the ULPOA to allow for the transfer of assessment fees to the ULPOA received by the City from the Alameda County Assessor’s Office. Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing the City Manager to execute an Operating and Management Agreement (labeled Exhibit A), in a form approved by the City Attorney, with the ULPOA.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is in alignment with the following:

Goal C, Strategy 4: Enhance the City’s partnership with Union Landing property owners and tenants to grow the vitality of the business district and revenue to the City.

BACKGROUND
ULPBID is established in accordance with the provisions of the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, California Streets and Highways Code section 36600 et seq. ("1994 Law"). On May 13, 2025, the City Council declared its intention to renew the ULPBID (Resolution No. 2025-060), and on July 8, 2025, it took the final step to restore the District and to levy and collect assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (Resolution No. 2025-096).

Streets and Highways Code Section 36651 authorizes the City to contract with an owners' 405 of 471
Agenda Item No. 6.1
City Council Staff Report Page 2 of 4 January 13, 2026
association to provide the improvements, maintenance, and activities specified in the Management District Plan (“MDP”).

Since the District’s initial formation in 2004, City staff have managed the operations of the ULPOA. At that time, the collected assessments covered the cost of three dedicated police officers, a police substation, and related administrative duties performed by City staff. In 2017, the menu of services expanded to include marketing services. The additional funding allowed for essential improvements to the center, including updating the center’s logo, developing branding guidelines and a webpage, social media campaigns, events, and upgrades to the center, including landscape enhancements for the gateway walls, improved median landscaping, and pylon sign upgrades. As services expanded, City staff assumed the role of part-time executive director with all the duties associated with nonprofit organizational management.

Also in 2017, the ULPOA applied for designation as a nonprofit corporation as required by State law to manage the ULPBID operations. The ULPOA includes five “Directors” who represent all Union Landing property owners. The Directors make decisions about activities to be paid for by the PBID for the coming year and are very engaged in directing funds to improve the center as best as possible. After a lot of back-and-forth between the IRS and the City and requests for various types of documentation, on June 26, 2025, the IRS finally determined that the ULPOA was exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(6).

The latest MDP is attached to this staff report (Attachment 2) and includes funds to cover the cost of a third-party management company, which will now provide the support that City staff has been providing since the inception of the ULPBID, relieving City staff of those responsibilities. Economic Development staff will, however, continue to serve as a liaison to the ULPOA. Moving forward, Finance staff will be responsible for managing the transfer of the assessment funds to the ULPOA and billing the ULPOA for the cost of security services being provided by the City, as well as related administrative costs incurred by the City.

DISCUSSION
On July 1, 2025, the ULPOA entered into a professional services agreement with Community Strong Strategies LLC ("CSS") to begin the transition of management of the ULPBID from the City to CSS. CSS has a long track record of working with property/business improvement districts throughout the state and in the Bay Area. CSS also has a team dedicated to accounting and other duties needed to support management of the ULPBID.

The following highlights the significant terms of the Operating and Management Agreement between the City of Union City and the Union Landing Property Owners’ Association; additional terms and conditions are reflected in the Agreement.

1. Term of Agreement. The Agreement will commence on January 13, 2026, and terminate on December 31, 2030, consistent with the MDP's end of term. 406 of 471
Agenda Item No. 6.1
City Council Staff Report Page 3 of 4 January 13, 2026

2. Services. The services provided by the ULPOA are fully defined in the MDP; however, they will include marketing services: website/social media support, events, installation of banners, and administrative services: financial management, preparation of the Annual Report, and all board management-related duties. The City will provide security services: three (3) dedicated Union Landing police officers, a substation at Union Landing, vehicle maintenance and supplies, for which the ULPOA will be invoiced.

3. Budget and Financial Obligations
a. Collection of Assessment. The City will coordinate the annual levy, placement, and collection of all assessments for the District. The City shall provide general assistance, clarification, or information to the ULPOA, the assessed parties, and the public at large.
b. Disbursement. The City will disburse to the ULPOA, into such account identified by the ULPOA, one hundred percent (100%) of all District assessments, including related late fees and penalties, as well as the assessments due from the City for City-owned parcels within the District, actually received by the City.

Disbursements will be made within 30 days of receipt by the City from Alameda County. Typically, most of the assessment revenues are received by the City in December and April.
c. General Benefit. The District’s assessment provides both special benefits to property owners within the District and a general benefit. The City shall pay the annual contribution for the general benefit by October 31 of each year. d. Security Services. At the beginning of each calendar quarter, the City will send an invoice to the ULPOA for 25% of the budgeted costs of City-provided security services pursuant to the MDP. The ULPOA shall pay the City the amount of such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt.

4. City Administrative Costs
a. Once per calendar quarter, the City will send an invoice to the ULPOA for the actual cost of all administrative services related to the District, such as the County Auditor/Controller’s fee to collect the District’s Assessment and third-party consultant fees. The ULPOA shall pay the City within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice.
b. Once per fiscal year, the city will send an invoice to the ULPOA for the estimated costs of administrative services provided by City staff, not to exceed five percent (5%) of the total District assessment for that fiscal year. The ULPOA shall pay the City within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice. c. During the first quarter of the calendar year of 2026, the City will invoice the ULPOA for all costs the City incurred and paid for on behalf of the ULPOA during the transition period of July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, including the 407 of 471
Agenda Item No. 6.1
City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 4 January 13, 2026
fees paid for the preparation of the new 5-Year MDP. ULPOA shall pay the City the amount of such invoice on or before June 15, 2026.

5. Tax Return. The ULPOA shall provide copies of all filed state and federal tax returns to the City within ten (10) days of filing. The City, at its discretion, may request any related documentation pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the City may request that the ULPOA turn over to the City the original of all such data and records. If the ULPOA is required to turn over such data and records to the City, it will comply with reasonable promptness; however, upon delivery of the data and records to the City-designated liaison, the ULPOA's retention and audit responsibilities with respect to such data and records shall terminate and the ULPOA shall not thereafter be liable for any claim of loss or damage arising from or related to the availability or condition of the data or records.

The ULPOA must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the ULPOA fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, as much of the money due the ULPOA under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made 414 of 471

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 The Union Landing PBID
City of Union City (the City”) property owners in the Union Landing shopping center and the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City approved the formation of the Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District (the “PBID”) – a property and business improvement district pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, California Streets and Highway Code Sections 36600 et seq (the “1994 Act”) – in 2004 for a one-year period. Since formation, the PBID has been renewed multiple times, each previous renewal being for a three-year term. The PBID has provided funding for the operation of a police substation in the shopping center. In 2017, the PBID also included marketing services. In 2020, property owners in the PBID renewed the funding for both security and marketing services provided through the PBID for a five-year period. In 2025, property owners in the PBID will be provided with the opportunity to renew for another five-year period.

1.2 Goal of the Union Landing PBID
The goal of the PBID is to maintain the high quality entertainment and shopping environment of the Union Landing center, protect the safety of visitors, and provide businesses within the shopping center with valuable marketing efforts. The positive reputation of the center as a safe and enjoyable shopping and entertainment complex has allowed the center to maintain its position as a regional retail destination.

1.3 Boundaries
The Union Landing PBID includes those parcels which are located in the commercial business center known as the Union Landing Center. The center is generally bounded by Interstate 880 to the east, Whipple Road to the north, Dyer Street to the west and Alvarado-Niles Road to the south.

Please see Appendix A for the assessment diagram of the PBID.

1.4 Management District Plan Overview
The Management District Plan is the result of the work of property owners in the PBID and City staff dedicated to improving the Union Landing shopping Center. The Management District Plan includes an updated description of services, annual budget, assessment methodology, and district management guidelines.

DISTRICT AT A GLANCE
In 2004, property owners established the PBID for a one-year operational term. Based on the success of the services provided, property owners have renewed the PBID for additional three-year terms including the most recent renewal in 2017. In 2020, property owners in the PBID renewed the funding for both security and marketing services provided through the PBID for a five-year period.

2.1 Union Landing PBID Boundaries
The Union Landing PBID includes those parcels that are located in the commercial business center known as the Union Landing Center. The center is generally bounded by Interstate 880 to the east, Whipple Road to the north, Dyer Street to the West and Alvarado-Niles Road to the south.

Refer to Appendix A for an assessment diagram that more fully provides a description of the PBID’s boundaries and parcels within.

2.2 Services
The improvements, services, and activities provided in this Management District Plan include the provision of security services, marketing and promotional efforts and related management activities to support those efforts, as further described in Section 4, herein.

2.3 Annual Total Budget and Assessments
The total proposed annual operating budgets for Fiscal Year 2025/26 is $1,386,076.05 for security services and $304,776.00 for marketing services. This includes an additional six months of services as the PBID transitions to paying for services on a calendar year basis. Assessment revenue of $1,316,772.67 and $298,680.48, respectively provides 95.00% and 98.00%, respectively, of the annual operating budgets. The remaining portion of the annual operating budgets will be paid for by the City’s general fund. The assessment calculation for each property utilizes a combination of dispatched police calls, building square footage and lot square footage. Section 6 of this Management District Plan provides a more detailed procedure of the annual assessment calculation.

2.4 Term
If renewed, assessments would be collected for five years (July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030).

Expenditure of those collected assessments can continue for up to six months after the end of the assessment collection period (December 31, 2030), at which point the PBID would terminate, if not renewed.

BACKGROUND
Property owners establish special assessment districts to provide a constant funding source for various improvements, services, and activities that benefit properties within a defined geographical area. The improvements, services, and activities can include providing enhanced cleaning and maintenance services, improving security, providing for marketing activities to promote and revitalize an area, and other programs found to benefit an area. The ongoing revenue stream for the improvements, services, and activities comes from the annual assessments funded by properties within the special assessment district. The process by which special assessment districts are formed is outlined below.

3.1 What is a Property and Business Improvement District (PBID)? A PBID is a special assessment district that provides for the levy and collection of assessments on properties within a geographically defined area. Assessment revenue collected from the benefitting properties pays the costs associated with the improvements, services, and activities provided to the PBID area. Proceedings are conducted pursuant to Proposition 218, the “Right to Vote on Taxes Act” approved by California voters in 1996, which added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the California State Constitution (the “Assessment Law”) and the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, California Streets and Highway Code Sections 36600 et seq (the “1994 Act”).

A PBID established under the Assessment Law and 1994 Act may be administered by an owners’ non-profit management corporation. The owners’ non-profit management corporation may administer or implement the improvements, services and activities specified in the management district plan. The City Council appointed PBID advisory board shall make a recommendation to the City Council on the expenditure of revenues derived from the levy of assessments. The advisory board shall also cause to be prepared a report of each fiscal year for which assessments are to be levied and collected. The annual report shall contain, but is not limited to, any proposed changes in the PBID boundaries or any benefit zones within the district; the improvement and activities to be provided for that fiscal year; an estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year; the method and basis of levying the assessment; the amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year; and the amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.

3.2 Establishing a PBID
The 1994 Act and Assessment Law provide the legal framework for establishing this PBID. As part of the formation proceedings, a Management District Plan is prepared in accordance with Section 36622 of the 1994 Act. The Management District Plan must contain, but is not limited to, the following required elements:
• a map, in sufficient detail to locate each assessed property within the PBID; • the name of the PBID;
• the description of the boundaries, including any zones of benefit; • the improvements, services, and activities to be funded for each year of operation, along with the maximum cost;
427 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Management District Plan (March 2025) 4
• the total annual amount to be expended, in each year of operation, for improvements, services, activities, maintenance, and operations;
• the proposed source(s) of financing, including the basis and method of levying the assessments, and whether or not bonds will be issued;
• the time and manner of collecting the assessments;
• the specific number of years in which the assessments will be levied; • the time for implementation and completion of the Management District Plan; • any rules and regulations applicable to the PBID; and • a listing of the properties to be assessed along with the parcel number and the method by which expenses will be imposed upon benefitted real property in proportion to the benefit received.

3.3 PBID Name Designation
The name designation of this PBID is the Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District.

3.4 Timeline for Implementation and Completion of the District The PBID assessment will be effective beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2030. PBID operations will begin in July 1, 2025.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The PBID will provide for the ongoing provision of security services, marketing efforts and management activities all located within the boundaries of the PBID.

4.1 Security Services
The security team will consist of three sworn full-time Union City police officers who will patrol the PBID and will be responsible for coordinating their activities to deter crime, make arrests when necessary, warn and advise trespassers and pan handlers, and respond to visitor inquiries. The staffing will include three police officers who will be dedicated on a full-time basis to the PBID. In addition, the Union City Police Department will provide emergency response to supplement dedicated services on an as-needed basis. The leasing of office space is also included.

The work schedule of the dedicated officers will be determined by the Chief of Police based upon the recommendations of the Owner’s Association of the PBID, the calls for service workload, general activity requiring increased police presence, Memorandum of Understanding with the Union City Police Officers Association, and with overall consideration of the general welfare of the entire PBID.

4.2 Marketing Program
Marketing in the PBID will generally consist of marketing and promotional efforts to maintain the visibility and desirability of Union Landing as a regional retail destination. These strategies include web page maintenance, digital campaigns, tenant engagement to support promotional efforts and can include events, center signage, banners, and murals. Marketing and promotional effort performance will be analyzed with findings and recommendations reported to the Owner’s Association. Additionally, any conditions that would affect brand perception in Union Landing will be documented and communicated to property owners or managers.

4.3 Overhead
In addition to the costs to provide the PBID services mentioned above, the PBID will incur costs for City staff time and expense related to the programs mentioned above, as well as the management of the PBID.

Professional management of the PBID by contract with a professional services contractor is also included.

City staff time includes oversight and coordination of City provided services, annual tax roll preparation, and addressing property owner questions and concerns. These activities are directly related to the PBID and services within the PBID, and without them the services could not be efficiently provided on an ongoing basis.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

6.1 Sources of Funding
The levy and collection of annual assessments upon property within the PBID provides the primary funding source for the improvements, services, and activities previously outlined. As required by the Assessment Law, the City will also contribute funds toward that portion of costs related to general benefit conferred by the services.

The PBID will not issue bonds to finance any of the improvements, services, and activities provided by the PBID.

6.2 Basis of Assessment
The benefits provided to real property within the PBID relate to the improvements, services, and activities more fully described in Section 4, herein.

6.3 General Benefit Assignment
General benefit is a benefit to the public at large resulting from the implementation of PBID services. The amount of general benefit that conferred by from the PBID improvements, services, and activities cannot be funded by assessments within the PBID. It has been determined that 5.00% of the total benefits from the security services and 2.00% of the total benefits from the marketing services are considered to accrue to the public at large. Accordingly, 95.00% and 98.00% respectively of the benefits from the PBID improvements, services, and activities are considered to provide special benefits to the properties within the PBID and thus could be subject to assessment therein. Please see the City of Union City Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District Renewal Engineer’s Report (the “Engineer’s Report”), included as Appendix C, for a more detailed discussion of the calculation of the general benefit.

6.4 Special Benefit Point Assignment
Each of the parcels within the PBID receives a special benefit from the improvements. Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it, as a result of the provision of improvements, services, and activities is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the total benefits.

The total costs of the improvements, services and activities less the amount of general benefit identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the PBID based on the benefit points assigned to each parcel. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land uses, lot size and building size. Please see the Engineer’s Report, included as Appendix C, for a more detailed discussion of the special benefit point assignment.

Each parcel’s land use is a factor that differentiates parcels based on the benefit received from the services within the PBID. Parcels with a commercial or industrial land use will be the basis for assigning benefit points since business is the focus of the service activities. 434 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Management District Plan (March 2025) 11
In addition to land use, the size of the parcel and size of the structure located on the parcel also need to be considered when assigning benefit points. A larger parcel with more building square footage has a greater level of benefit than a parcel that is smaller with less building square footage.

6.4.1 REDUCED FEAR OF CRIME BENEFIT POINTS
The reduced fear of crime benefit points are assigned as follows:

Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points Per
2,750.00 Dispatched Call for Service

1.20 Building Square Foot

0.315 Lot Square Foot

6.4.2 INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BENEFIT POINTS
The increased economic activity benefit points are assigned as follows:

Increased Economic Activity
Benefit Points Per

0.50 Building Square Foot

6.5 Parcel Factors
The method of apportioning benefit to parcels within the PBID reflects the proportional special benefit assigned to each property from the PBID improvements, services and activities based upon the various property characteristics for each parcel as compared to other properties within the PBID. As part of the special benefit analysis various property characteristics were analyzed including dispatched calls for service, lot square footage, building square footage, and land use. Given that the special benefits provided by the PBID improvements, services, and activities focus on reduced fear of crime benefit and increased economic activity benefit, it was determined that dispatched calls for service, lot square footage, and building square footage are the most appropriate parcel factors. Each parcel’s dispatched calls for service, lot square footage and building square footage have been used as the primary assessment variables for the calculation and assignment of special benefit points.

6.5.1 LAND USE
Property in the PBID is primarily commercial business. One parcel in the PBID, APN 463 -0104-007-00, has been assigned a County Use Code of 4400 (Miscellaneous Industrial) as of January 2025. This parcel is currently the site of I Fly, an indoor skydiving venue, which is considered a commercial parcel for purposes of PBID classification.

A small number of parcels within the PBID are driveways, streets and signage. These parcels are deemed to receive no benefit from PBID services as they are connectors/signage for other properties and do not benefit from increased economic activity.
435 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Management District Plan (March 2025) 12

6.5.2 DISPATCHED CALLS FOR SERVICE
Dispatched calls for service is the primary factor in determining the reduced fear of crime benefit as the call volume indicates the use of police services.

6.5.3 LOT SQUARE FOOTAGE AND BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE
Building square footage and lot square footage are both secondary factors in determining reduced fear of crime benefit as they indicate the potential use of police services.

6.6 Total Benefit Points Calculation
The total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points for the PBID at this time is 16,892,794.40.

The total Increased Economic Activity Benefit Points for the PBID at this time is 550,042.00.

6.7 Assessment Calculation
The method of assessment is discussed in detail in Engineer’s Report and is summarized below:

Total Security Services Costs to be Assessed / Total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points = Assessment Rate per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point $1,316,772.67 / 16,892,794.40 = $0.07795
Total Marketing & Administration Services Costs to be Assessed / Total Increased Economic Activity Benefit Points = Assessment Rate per Increased Economic Activity Benefit Point $298,680.48 / 550,042.00 = $0.54301

6.8 Number of Years Assessments Will Be Levied
The proposed term for the PBID is set at five years. The City will levy assessments beginning Fiscal Year 2025/26 up through and including Fiscal Year 2029/30. Expenditure of collected assessments may continue for up to six months after June 30, 2030, if the district is not renewed. In order to authorize the levy and collection of assessments after Fiscal Year 2029/30, the City and Owners’ Association will need to go through the renewal process pursuant to the Assessment Law and 1994 Act.

6.9 Time and Manner of Collecting Assessments
Each property owner pays a share of the cost of the PBID improvements, services, and activities based on an assessment formula. The payment is collected twice yearly, through the property tax bill. The PBID assessment, including any delinquent assessment and related interest and penalties, will be received by the Tax Collector of the County of Alameda. The Tax Collector shall transfer the assessment payments to the City for distribution to the PBID for the funding of the improvements, services, and activities described in this Management District Plan. Any assessment on a property that does not receive a property tax bill from the County of Alameda will be billed-directly by the City. 436 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Management District Plan (March 2025) 13

6.10 Appeals Process
Any property owner claiming that the amount or application of the assessment is not correct, including any factors determining the assessment, such as dispatched calls for service, lot square footage and building square footage may file a written notice of appeal with the City’s Finance Director who shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the assessment, including any factors determining the assessment, and decide the appeal. If the decision of the City’s Finance Director requires the assessment to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund, limited to the prior years’ assessment shall be paid to a property owner in excess of the difference between the amount actually assessed and paid by a property owner and the corrected rate as determined for the year prior to the filing of the appeal. A decision of the City’s Finance Director shall be final and conclusive.

6.11 Assessor’s Parcel Listing
Appendix B of this Management District Plan provides a listing of all of the Assessor’s Parcels, including the Assessor’s Parcel Number, businesses on the parcel, dispatched calls for service, lot square footage, building square footage, special benefit points and the total 2025/26 assessment. 437 of 471

DISTRICT MANAGEMENT

7.1 Union Landing PBID Owners’ Association
The PBID owners’ association, known as the “Union Landing Property Owners Association” (the “Owners’ Association”), is a non-profit organization whose membership consists of all property owners within the PBID who pay an annual PBID assessment. The Owners’ Association is governed by an advisory board (the “Advisory Board”) whose membership is designed to represent stakeholders and areas of the PBID as well as property owners of various sizes.

7.2 Public Access
The Owners’ Association is required to comply with specified state open meeting and public records laws, the Ralph M. Brown Act, commencing with Section 54950 of the Government Code, and the California Public Records Act, commencing with Section 6250 of the Government Code. Ralph M. Brown Act compliance is required when PBID business is heard, discussed, or deliberated, and the California Public Records Act compliance is required for all documents relating to PBID business.

7.3 Union Landing PBID Advisory Board
The powers and responsibilities of the Advisory Board are as follows:
• Review improvements, services, and activities provided and establish priorities for the upcoming Fiscal Year
• Submit an annual report to City
Each year, the Advisory Board shall prepare a report for each Fiscal Year, except the first year, for which assessments are levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements, services, and activities described in the report. Each annual report must be filed with the City Clerk per Section 36650 of the 1994 Act; each report shall contain or provide, but not be limited to the following:
• Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the PBID or in any benefit zones within the district; • The improvements, services, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year; • An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for that fiscal year; • The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each real property owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her property for that fiscal year; • The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year; • The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to the 1994 Act.

The City Council may approve the annual report as filed, or the City Council may modify any particulars contained in the report, and then approve it as modified. Given the potential resulting impact to an assessment levy, any changes to the improvements, services, and/or activities require City Council approval.

Any modification to the annual report shall be made pursuant to Section 36635 and 36636 of the 1994 Act. 438 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Management District Plan (March 2025) 15
However, the City Council cannot approve a change in the basis and method of levying assessments that would impair an authorized or executed contract to be paid from the revenues derived from the levy of assessments.

7.4 Dissolution
The PBID, when there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the PBID, may be disestablished by resolution by the City Council in either of the following circumstance:
1 If the City Council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the PBID, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. 2 During the operation of the PBID, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessed property owners may request disestablishment of the PBID. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the PBID and shall continue for a 30-day period. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the PBID. Each successive year of operation of the PBID shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners of real property in the area who pay 30 percent or more of the assessments levied, the City Council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. The City Council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment.

The City Council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the PBID prior to the public hearing. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the PBID. The public hearing shall be held not less than 30-days or more than 60- days after the adoption of the resolution of intention.

Upon the disestablishment of the PBID, any remaining revenues derived from the levy of assessments, or any revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, shall be refunded to the owners of the property then located and operating within the PBID in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district was disestablished. If the disestablishment occurs before and assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessment levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of refund.

ENGINEER’S LETTER
Pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, Section 36600 of California’s Streets and Highways Code (the “1994 Act”), it is proposed that the Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District (the “PBID”) be renewed. If renewed, assessments would be collected for up to five years (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2030). Expenditure of those collected assessments can continue for up to six months after the end of the assessment collection period (December 31, 2030), at which point the PBID would then be terminated, if not renewed.

This Engineer’s Report presents the plans and specifications describing the improvements, services, and activities, an estimate of the costs of the improvements, services, and activities for the PBID for the 2025/26 Fiscal Year, a proposed assessment diagram showing the area and properties to be assessed, and an assessment of the estimated costs of the improvements, services, and activities, assessing the net amount upon all assessable lots and/or parcels within the PBID in proportion to the special benefit received.

The following assessments are authorized in order to pay the estimated costs of the PBID improvements, services and activities to be paid by the assessable real property within the boundaries of the PBID in proportion to the special benefit received.

In making the assessments contained herein pursuant to the 1994 Act, Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act, commencing with Section 53750 of the Government Code (collectively referred to as the “Assessment Law”):

1. I identified all parcels which will have a special benefit conferred upon them from the installation, implementation and provision of the improvements, services, and activities described in Section

3.2 to this Engineer’s Report (the “Specially Benefited Parcels”). For particulars as to the identification of said parcels, reference is made to the Assessment Diagram, a copy of which is included in Section 7 of this Engineer’s Report.

2. I have assessed the costs and expenses to install, implement and maintain the improvements, services, and activities upon the Specially Benefited Parcels. In making such assessment:
a. The proportionate special benefit derived by each Specially Benefited Parcel from the installation, implementation and provision of the improvements, services, and activities was determined in relationship to the entirety of the costs; b. No assessment has been imposed on any Specially Benefited Parcel which exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on such parcel from the installation, implementation and provision of improvements, services, and activities; and c. Any general benefits from the installation, implementation and provision of improvements, services, and activities have been quantified and separated from the special benefits and only special benefits have been assessed. 449 of 471

Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 4

INTRODUCTION

2.1 Background of PBID
City of Union City (the City”) property owners in the Union Landing shopping center and the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City approved the formation of the Union Landing Property and Business Improvement District (the “PBID”) – a property and business improvement district pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, California Streets and Highway Code Sections 36600 et seq (the “1994 Act”) – in 2004 for a one-year period. Since formation, the PBID has been renewed multiple times, for three-year terms and in 2020 for a five-year term. The 2020 renewal also added marketing services within the PBID in addition to the operation of a police substation in the shopping center. In 2025, property owners in the PBID will be asked to renew the funding for services provided through the PBID, for a five-year period. This renewal will also include extraordinary funding in the first year of the term to move the provision of services from a fiscal year basis to a calendar year basis.

As part of the assessment district formation process, this Engineer’s Report has been prepared to support the renewal proceedings for the PBID.

2.2 Reason for the Assessment
Approval of the assessment covered by this Engineer’s Report will generate the annual assessment revenue necessary to provide for the provision of the services more fully described in Section 3.2. The PBID improvements, services, and activities include all necessary operations and administration required to keep the PBID improvements in an operational and satisfactory condition, as well as provide for the ongoing services and activities. The implementation and operations of the PBID improvements, services, and activities shall also include equipment, capital improvements, and administrative costs associated with the annual administration and operation of the PBID.

2.3 Process for Renewing the PBID
The City cannot renew the PBID and levy assessments without complying with the procedures specified in California Constitution Article XIIID (part of Proposition 218). In November 1996, the voters in the State of California passed Proposition 218 which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution imposing, among other requirements, the necessity to conduct an assessment ballot procedure to enable the owners of each property on which assessments are proposed to be imposed, the opportunity to express their support for, or opposition to, the proposed assessment. The basic steps of the assessment ballot procedure are outlined below.

The City must prepare a notice of public hearing, which describes, along with other mandated information, the reason for the proposed assessments and provide a date, time and location of a public hearing to be held on the matter. The City must also prepare an assessment ballot, which clearly gives the property owner the ability to sign and execute their assessment ballot either in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed assessment. The notice and assessment ballot are mailed to each affected property owner within the PBID a minimum of 45 days prior to the public hearing date as shown in the notice. The City may also hold community meetings with the property owners to discuss the issues facing the PBID and to answer property owner questions directly.

Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 5
After the notice and assessment ballot are mailed, property owners are given until the close of the public hearing, as stated in the notice, to return their signed and executed assessment ballot. During the public hearing, property owners are given the opportunity to address the City Council and ask questions or voice their concerns. After the public hearing, the returned assessment ballots received prior to the close of the public hearing are tabulated, weighted by the proposed assessment amount on each property and the results are announced by the City Council.

Article XIIID provides that if, as a result of the assessment ballot proceeding, a majority protest is found to exist, the City Council shall not have the authority to enact the assessments as proposed. A majority protest exists if the assessments represented by weighted ballots submitted in opposition exceed those weighted ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. All returned ballots are tabulated and weighted according to the financial obligation of each particular parcel, in relation to the total proposed assessments. If there is no majority protest as described above, the City Council may approve the PBID renewal and levy the assessments.

PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

3.1 Description of the Boundaries of the PBID
The Union Landing PBID includes those parcels which are located in the commercial business center known as the Union Landing Center. The center is generally bounded by Interstate 880 to the east, Whipple Road to the north, Dyer Street to the west and Alvarado-Niles Road to the south.

Section 7 of this Engineer’s Report provides an Assessment Diagram that more fully provides a description of the PBID boundaries.

3.2 Description of the Improvements, Services, and Activities The PBID will provide for the ongoing provision of security services, marketing efforts and management activities all located within the boundaries of the PBID.

3.2.1 SECURITY SERVICES
The security team will consist of three sworn full-time Union City police officers who will patrol the PBID and will be responsible for coordinating their activities to deter crime, make arrests when necessary, warn and advise trespassers and pan handlers, and respond to visitor inquiries. The staffing will include three police officers who will be dedicated on a full-time basis to the PBID. In addition, the Union City Police Department will provide emergency response to supplement dedicated services on an as-needed basis. The leasing of office space is also included.

The work schedule of the dedicated officers will be determined by the Chief of Police based upon the recommendations of the Owner’s Association of the PBID, the calls for service workload, general activity requiring increased police presence, Memorandum of Understanding with the Union City Police Officers Association, and with overall consideration of the general welfare of the entire PBID.

3.2.2 MARKETING PROGRAM
Marketing in the PBID will generally consist of marketing and promotional efforts to maintain the visibility and desirability of Union Landing as a regional retail destination. These strategies include web page maintenance, digital campaigns, tenant engagement to support promotional efforts and can include events, center signage, banners, and murals. Marketing and promotional effort performance will be analyzed with findings and recommendations reported to the Owner’s Association. Additionally, any conditions that would affect brand perception in Union Landing will be documented and communicated to property owners or managers.

3.2.3 MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS
In addition to the costs to provide the PBID services mentioned above, the City will incur costs for staff time and expense related to the programs mentioned above, as well as the management of the PBID.

Professional PBID management services will also be contracted to transfer the majority of the administration duties from City staff. Staff time includes oversight and coordination of City provided services, annual tax roll preparation, and addressing property owner questions and concerns. The PBID renewal and tax roll billing services are also included. These activities are directly related to the PBID and 453 of 471

SPECIAL AND GENERAL BENEFITS

5.1 Introduction
Pursuant to Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the public services shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relationship to the entire costs of the project.

Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties within an assessment district must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit from the assessment. Examples of parcels which might be exempted from the assessment would be the areas of public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, public easements and rights-of-ways, public greenbelts and public parkways. There are nine parcels in the PBID that are public streets or easements for signage which are exempt from the assessment.

Furthermore, Article XIIID requires that the City separate the general benefit from special benefit, so that only the special benefit may be assessed.

5.2 Identification of Benefit
The provisions of services and necessary related administrative expenses the City will incur in providing and managing the PBID services will provide benefits to both those properties within the boundary of the PBID and to the surrounding area. The benefits conferred to property within the boundary of the PBID from the services are described below. This report does not consider any general enhancement of property value.

5.2.1 REDUCED FEAR OF CRIME
Fear of crime impacts American society to a large degree. People choose where to shop, socialize and live grounded in their perceptions of safety.1 Police substations are shown to be very effective at reducing the fear of crime in their immediate vicinity. Multiple studies have shown that implementation of police substations increase citizen satisfaction and reduce the fear of crime in the area of the substation.2 Policing strategies characterized by more direct involvement of police and citizens, such as police substations, have the effect of reducing fear of crime in a neighborhood. 3 Security:

The regular presence of officers in the PBID allows for increased quantity and quality of face-to-face nonenforcement interactions between police officers and community members. Fear of crime can lead to fewer customers in a commercial center. Reduced fear of crime creates an environment which attracts customers 1 Cordner, Gary.

Union Landing Business Improvement District
Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 12
to the Union Landing shopping center. A robust commercial environment also attracts and encourages investment in business development.

5.2.2 INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Marketing services serve to bring customers to a shopping center such as Union Landing, but also provide a tool to retain and attract business owners and tenants.4Increasing the quantity and quality of foot traffic will increase business sales. This, in turn, creates a robust retail environment which encourages business development and investment.

Marketing & Administration:

Marketing activities aim to increase economic activity and future property development potential within the PBID. Through strategic marketing campaigns consisting of digital marketing and promotional efforts, the retail environment will be enhanced. A strong marketing presence will also attract, retain and encourage the expansion of business throughout the PBID. Administration activities are essential to having an active PBID and community within the shopping center.

5.3 Separation of General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency which proposes to impose assessments on property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them and upon which an assessment will be imposed, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred,” and only the special benefits can be included in the amount of the assessments imposed. A general benefit is an overall and similar benefit to the public at large resulting from the services to be provided by the assessments levied.

The security services will provide reduced fear of crime benefits to property within the PBID, but it is recognized that the security services will also provide a level of benefit to some property within proximity to the PBID. The officers assigned to the police substation in the PBID respond primarily to calls for service within the Union Landing shopping center. As City police officers, they do, however, occasionally respond to emergency calls in the vicinity but outside the boundary of the PBID. This is considered to be a general benefit that cannot be funded by PBID assessments.

Marketing efforts conducted in the PBID are specific to the Union Landing shopping center and the benefit from such marketing will chiefly benefit businesses within the PBID. It is conceivable, however, that other City businesses may benefit from marketing activity conducted for Union Landing.

Therefore, the general benefit created as a result of PBID services has been considered. These activities create general benefit that is required to be separated and quantified as shown below.

5.4 Quantification of General Benefit
The amount of general benefit that is provided from the PBID services cannot be funded via property owner assessments within the PBID. In order for property within the PBID to be assessed only for that portion of 4 Wagner, Nancy. (2017) The Purpose in Preparing a Shopping Mall’s Sales Marketing Plan. 459 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 13
special benefit received from the PBID services, general benefits provided by the services needs to be quantified.

The PBID consists of a variety of non-residential property land uses, including one movie theater, three hotels, two dental offices, numerous retail stores, an indoor skydiving facility and the Union Landing Transit Center. Properties within the PBID are classified to a land use category according to the assigned land use code as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.

5.4.1 GENERAL BENEFIT: REDUCED FEAR OF CRIME FROM SECURITY SERVICES As a result of security services within the PBID, there will be a level of general benefit to surrounding property. Without the police substation located within the PBID, there would be fewer officers on duty in the area of the PBID. This general benefit, as a result of the operation of the police substation, needs to be quantified.

Police officers assigned to the Union Landing police substation were dispatched on 5,182 calls during calendar year 2024. In addition to those 5,182 dispatched calls, approximately 259 were to locations outside of the PBID.

Union Landing Police Substation Dispatched Calls
Dispatched Calls Within PBID 5,182
Dispatched Calls Outside PBID 259
Total Dispatched Calls 5,441
The number of dispatched calls to property outside of the PBID (259) is 5.00% of the total dispatched calls (5,441), and is therefore considered to be general benefit.

General Benefit: Dispatched Calls 5.00%
In addition to responding to calls within Union Landing, the Union City Police Department routinely deploys officers on overtime and conducts special enforcement at the complex as part of a proactive and specialized response to crime trends at the Union Landing complex. Special enforcement officers have been deployed in unmarked and even rented vehicles as part of sting operations in an attempt to curb criminal activity at the Union Landing complex. Additionally, rather than direct victims of certain crimes, such as vehicle burglary, vandalism, theft and lost property, to file a report via the City’s online reporting system, officers make face-to-face contact with victims of these crimes within Union Landing. The additional services to Union Landing, conservatively, do not reduce the overall general benefit resulting from the security services. Therefore, the general benefit related to the reduced fear of crime is 5.00% and the special benefit related to the reduced fear of crime is 95.00%. 460 of 471

Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 14

5.4.2 GENERAL BENEFIT: INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FROM MARKETING &

ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
As a result of marketing and administration services within the PBID, there may be a level of general benefit to other commercial property. Administration services support the PBID, which supports Union Landing. Although the marketing campaign is designed to specifically highlight the PBID and its businesses, one can imagine a degree of benefit accruing to other businesses in Union City. While customers may travel to shop in Union Landing, they may also patronize other local business. Since Union Landing is a distinct shopping center with very little commercial property in the immediate surrounding area, the benefit to other local business is expected to be very small. In lieu of a detailed study showing what effects the marketing efforts of the Association have on Union City businesses not within the PBID, we liberally estimate the general benefit resulting from the marketing services to be 2.00%.

Increased Economic Activity General Benefit 2.00%
Therefore, the general benefit related to the increased economic activity is 2.00% and the special benefit related to the increased economic activity is 98.00%.

5.5 Apportioning of Special Benefit
As outlined in Section 5.2, each of the parcels within the PBID receives a special benefit from the services.

Each parcel that has a special benefit conferred upon it, as a result of the provisions of services, is identified and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel is determined in relationship to the entire costs of the services.

The total costs of the services, less the amount of general benefit identified, will be assessed to the parcels within the PBID based on the benefit points assigned to each parcel. Section 6.3 of this report provides a detailed breakdown of the assigned benefit points described herein. To assess special benefit appropriately, it is necessary to relate parcels of different land use, lot size and building size to one another.

Each parcel’s land use is a factor that differentiates parcels based on the benefit received from the services within the PBID. Parcels with a commercial or industrial land use will be the basis for assigning benefit points since business is the focus of the service activities.

In addition to land use, the size of the parcel and size of the structure located on the parcel also need to be considered when assigning benefit points. A larger parcel with more building square footage has a greater level of benefit than a parcel that is smaller with less building square footage.

5.5.1 REDUCED FEAR OF CRIME BENEFIT POINTS
The reduced fear of crime benefit relates to the public perception of the Union Landing shopping center as a result of staffing the Union Landing police substation, one of the PBID services. The police services will provide for consistent police presence and response within the PBID which has been shown to reduce the fear of crime thereby creating a more positive commercial environment for property in the PBID.

In order to recognize the varying levels of reduced fear of crime benefit, properties are assigned benefit points related to the number of dispatched police calls, building square footage and parcel size. Property in 461 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 15
the PBID is primarily commercial business5. Given the fairly homogenous land use, commercial property within the PBID are assigned Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points based on the dispatched calls for service, building square footage and lot square footage. Dispatched calls for service is the primary factor in determining the reduced fear of crime benefit as the call volume indicates the use of police services.

Building Square footage and lot square footage are both secondary factors in determining reduced fear of crime benefit as they indicate the potential use of police services. Given the total dispatched police calls to parcels within the PBID of 5,182, building square footage of approximately 1.1 million and lot square footage of approximately 4.2 million, the benefit points per each criteria has been calculated to adjust for the varying totals and weight the benefit as described above. The Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points are as shown in the following table:

Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points Per
2,750.00 Dispatched Call for Service

1.20 Building Square Foot

0.315 Lot Square Foot
A small number of parcels within the PBID are driveways, streets and signage. These parcels are deemed to receive no benefit from PBID services as they are connectors/signage for other properties and do not benefit from reduced fear of crime.

5.5.2 INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BENEFIT POINTS
The PBID services will promote Union Landing businesses through targeting marketing efforts. These services will encourage visitors to shop, dine and conduct business throughout the PBID. This, in turn, will make business property more prosperous, and will attract additional investment to spur economic activity.

In order to recognize the varying levels of economic activity benefit, properties are assigned benefit points related to building square footage. Property in the PBID is primarily commercial business6. Given the fairly homogenous land use, commercial property within the PBID are assigned Increased Economic Activity Benefit Points as shown in the following table:

Increased Economic Activity

Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 16

5.5.3 DATA CONSIDERATIONS AND PARCEL CHANGES
The use of the latest Assessor’s Secured Roll information has been the basis in determining each parcel’s land use category, building square footage and lot square footage, unless better data was or is available to the City. The City’s crime analyst data has been used to determine the dispatched police call volume. The building size, lot square footage and dispatched police call volume used to establish the assessment will remain unchanged for the term of the assessment. In addition, if any parcel within the PBID is identified by the County Auditor/Controller to be an invalid parcel number, the land use category, building square footage, lot square footage and dispatched police call volume of the subsequent valid parcels shall serve as the basis in assigning special benefit points.

5.5.4 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: PUBLICLY OWNED PARCELS
Any publicly owned parcels that benefit from the improvements cannot be exempt from the assessment.

The special benefits accruing to these types of parcels must be determined using the same kind of formulas and benefit point assignment as applied to privately owned parcels. This requirement is clearly conveyed in Article XIII D, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution which states in part, “... Parcels within a district that are owned or used by any agency, the State of California or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment unless the agency can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit.” Publicly owned parcels have been categorized and assigned benefit units using the same methodology as privately owned parcels, based on their land use as shown on the County Assessor’s latest secured property tax roll.

5.5.5 ASSESSMENT INCREASES
The maximum annual assessment rates are subject to an annual increase beginning July 1, 2026. The maximum annual assessment rate increase is 4%. Note, this is the maximum annual assessment and the actual amount assessed to properties may be less than this maximum, depending on the annual budget of the PBID.

5.6 Parcel Factors
The method of apportioning benefit to parcels within the PBID reflects the proportional special benefit assigned to each property from the PBID improvements, services and activities based upon the various property characteristics for each parcel as compared to other properties within the PBID. As part of the special benefit analysis various property characteristics were analyzed including dispatched calls for service, lot square footage, building square footage, and land use. Given that the special benefits provided by the PBID improvements, services, and activities focus on reduced fear of crime benefit and increased economic activity benefit, it was determined that dispatched calls for service, lot square footage, and building square footage are the most appropriate parcel factors. Each parcel’s dispatched calls for service, lot square footage and building square footage have been used as the primary assessment variables for the calculation and assignment of special benefit points.

5.6.1 LAND USE
Property in the PBID is primarily commercial business. One parcel in the PBID, APN 463 -0104-007-00, has been assigned a County Use Code of 4400 (Miscellaneous Industrial) as of January 2025. This parcel is 463 of 471
Union Landing Business Improvement District
Renewal Engineer’s Report (March 2025) 17
currently the site of I Fly, an indoor skydiving venue, which is considered a commercial parcel for purposes of PBID classification.

A small number of parcels within the PBID are driveways, streets and signage. These parcels are deemed to receive no benefit from PBID services as they are connectors/signage for other properties and do not benefit from increased economic activity.

5.6.2 DISPATCHED CALLS FOR SERVICE
Dispatched calls for service is the primary factor in determining the reduced fear of crime benefit as the call volume indicates the use of police services.

5.6.3 LOT SQUARE FOOTAGE AND BUILDING SQUARE FOOTAGE
Building square footage and lot square footage are both secondary factors in determining reduced fear of crime benefit as they indicate the potential use of police services.

5.7 Total Benefit Points Calculation
The total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points for the PBID at this time is 16,892,794.40.

The total Increased Economic Activity Benefit Points for the PBID at this time is 550,042.00. 464 of 471

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

6.1 Balance to be Assessed

6.1.1 SECURITY SERVICES
The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget, excluding incidental costs, that must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 5.00% of the total services cost. The special benefit, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 95.00%.

Description
2025/26 Budget
Amount
Security Services Costs $1386,076.50
Less: General Benefit Contribution (69,303.83)
Total Security Services Costs to be Assessed $1,316,772.67

6.1.2 ASSESSMENT AMOUNT PER REDUCED FEAR OF CRIME BENEFIT POINT The assessment per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point is calculated by dividing the total security services costs to be assessed by the total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points assigned to the parcels within the PBID. The following formula provides the assessment per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point calculation:

Total Security Services Costs to be Assessed / Total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points = Assessment Rate per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point $1,316,772.67 / 16,892,794.40 = $0.07795
The security services special benefit analysis and assignment of Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points has been calculated in relation to the costs to be assessed. No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel.

6.1.3 MARKETING & ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
The general benefit, which is the percentage of the total budget, excluding incidental costs, which must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 2.00% of the total services cost. The special benefit, which is the percentage of the budget that may be funded by assessments, is 98.00%.

The following formula provides the assessment per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point calculation:

Total Security Services Costs to be Assessed / Total Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points = Assessment Rate per Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Point $912,962.39 / 16,892,794.40 = $0.054045
The security services special benefit analysis and assignment of Reduced Fear of Crime Benefit Points has been calculated in relation to the costs to be assessed. No assessment will be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on the parcel.

6.3.2 ASSESSMENT AMOUNT PER INCREASED ECONOMIC ACTIVITY BENEFIT POINT The assessment per Increased Economic Activity Benefit Point is calculated by dividing the total marketing services costs to be assessed by the total Economic Activity Benefit Points assigned to the parcels within the PBID. The following formula provides the assessment per Economic Activity Benefit Point calculation:

Total Marketing & Administration Services Costs to be Assessed / Total Increased Economic Activity Benefit Points = Assessment Rate per Increased Economic Activity Benefit Point $301,712.60 / 550,042.00 = $0.548527
