Receive, review, and discuss the narrative report and aviation forecast elements of the in-progress Visalia Municipal Airport (VMA) Airport Layout Plan (ALP).

Deadline for Action: None
Submitting Department: Administration - Airport
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Jody Miller, Airport Manager, (559) 713-4282, [email protected] Nick Mascia, Assistant City Manager, (559)713-4323, [email protected] Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council receive, review, and discuss the narrative, and aviation forecast elements of the Airport’s ALP update, and provide any comments or direction if applicable.

Background Discussion:

The Airport relies on federal funding to maintain operational solvency. A majority of the Visalia Municipal Airport’s(VMA)’scapital projects are approved by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which then qualifies the projects for 90% federal funding. In order to be eligible for funding, the FAA requires specific reports and plans be completed and submitted.

These reports include:
· · Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Update
· Primary Management/Compliance Document
· Environmental Assessments/Land Use
· General Aviation (GA) Terminal Design
· Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)/Wildlife Hazard Plan In anticipation of these future reports, staff solicited vendors in November 2020 for an updated Airport Layout Plan (ALP), with City Council awarding to Coffman Associates in December 2020, Coffman Associates then began work on the ALP update in November 2021.

A current FAA approved ALP is a prerequisite for issuance of any federal grant funding. In addition, any sponsor who has received a grant for airport development is obligated to maintain an updated ALP. An ALP serves as a critical planning tool that depicts both existing facilities and planned development for an airport. Completion of the update to the ALP is paramount to the future of the airport, as our current ALP was accepted by FAA was in 2005 and is currently outdated.

The ALP update is expected to take 18 months to complete and consists of three tasks that will total Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 4

The ALP update is expected to take 18 months to complete and consists of three tasks that will total $292,821. The tasks are listed below:
· Narrative Report/Aviation Forecast (attached)
· Survey, Photogrammetry, and Airports Geographic Information System (AGIS) services · Airport Layout Plan Drawing Set (return to City Council early summer of 2023) The first of these three elements, the Narrative Report and Aviation Forecast, has been completed and preliminarily submitted to the FAA in order to have a quicker approval of the finished ALP.

The Narrative Report is the introduction of the airport to the FAA staff who reviews the ALP, and it provides all the background information for not only the airport but the community as a whole.

The Aviation Forecast portion is crucial to future facility planning as facility planning requires a definition of the demand expected to occur during the useful life of an airport’s components (for example all movement areas, lighting systems, navigational aids, buildings, etc) within the VMA fence. This involves projecting aviation demand for a 20-year timeframe. In this report, forecasts of county registered aircraft (all of the aircraft in the county), based aircraft (aircraft physically located at VMA), based aircraft fleet mix (the different type of aircraft at VMA), annual airport operations (all flights in and out of VMA), and forecasts of airport peaking characteristics (when the majority of flights will occur) are projected.

The forecasts generated may be used for a multitude of purposes, including facility needs assessments and environmental evaluations. The forecasts are submitted to the FAA for review and approval to ensure accuracy and reasonable projections of aviation activity.

The intent of the projections is to enable the airport to make facility improvements to meet demand in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

In this report, forecasts of county registered aircraft, based aircraft, based aircraft fleet mix, and annual airport operations are also forecasted to establish the existing and ultimate critical aircraft. It should be noted that aviation activity can be affected by numerous outside influences on a local, regional, and national level. As a result, forecasts of aviation demand should be used only for advisory purposes, and it is recommended that planning strategies remain flexible enough to accommodate any unforeseen facility needs. The forecasted aviation operations (which match well with both internal projections and FAA projections) can be found in the chart below.

ALP Timeline:

November 2021 - December2022: Aviation Forecast and Narrative Report - This portion of the ALP was submitted and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration in December 2022. It is included herein for review and is being presented to Council for informational purposes.

November 2021 - May 2023: AGIS, Survey, and Photogrammetry work - This data is being collected throughout the project and is used in producing the Aviation Forecast, Narrative Report, and Airport Layout Plan Drawing Set.

November 2022 - May 2023: Airport Layout Plan Drawing Set - This is the final completed product that includes all the previous work from the first two sections of the project as well as the final drawing set including the land use recommendations/options. Once Airport Staff receives this from Coffman Associates, Staff will return to City Council to present the final product prior to final submission to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Immediately following the completion of the ALP update, the City will solicit proposals for a RFP/contract with a land use/development “planning”consultant to help review and propose land use designation for the land previously identified as ‘reserve’generally located to the south of the airport.

Furthermore, this effort and the consultant will cooperate with the efforts to review the capacity of our industrial zone in the northwest of the City as well as the potential for ‘airport industrial’ uses.

Additionally, in the course of their efforts on the ALP, Coffman Associates have determined that parts of Highway 99, Highway 198 and Aviation Way are now in what is considered Runway Protection Zones. What this means is that we are technically not following current FAA design and safety guidelines, however they are considered grandfathered into the current airport configuration. Should the City choose in the future to extend the runway length these grandfathered accommodations would go away, leaving the airport potentially ineligible for future Federal Airport Funding meaning all Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 3 of 4

would go away, leaving the airport potentially ineligible for future Federal Airport Funding meaning all future funding would have to come solely from the City itself. With that in mind, Coffman Associates are preparing two separate proposals for future airport growth opportunities, one with a runway extension, and one maintaining our current configuration.

Airport staff also would also like to note that the agreement to forego Essential Air Service (EAS) in 2016 is in place through 2026. At that time the City would have the option to return to EAS should we choose to go that route, though it would require considerable infrastructure updates (Fire, Safety, Terminal) to pivot from the current plan of catering to private jet, general aviation, and cargo flights to qualify for the EAS program. These discussions will happen during the 2024/2025-2025/2026 budget preparation cycle to ensure that the City and Airport Staff have a plan to move forward with in place for whichever path forward is selected.

Fiscal Impact:

Once the ALP update is completed, the document will be what drives FAA funding of the airport over the next 15 years. Any future Capital Improvement Project fund grants would require a 10% city match and Staff will update the CIP budget accordingly to match this plan.

The ALP update is a fixed budget project at $292,000, costs to date are $240,000, paid from 4040- 72000/CP0434. However, it is a 100% funded project from the FAA who have distributed reimbursements monthly for any expenses, leading to zero costs being incurred by the City of Visalia.

Prior Council Action:

December 21st, 2020 - City Council approved a 5-year professional services agreement between the airport and Coffman Associates that included the ALP update under their scope of work.

November 1st, 2021 - City Council authorized the acceptance of a federal funds in the amount of $307,461 to pay for the ALP update.

Alternatives: City Council could choose to wait and review the ALP once it is fully completed in lieu of reviewing each element as they are finished.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

No action, for informational purposes only.

Environmental Assessment Status: NA.

CEQA Review: N/A

AIRPORT BACKGROUND

Visalia  Municipal  Airport  is  located  approximately  four  miles west of the center of the City of Visalia and within city limits at an elevation of 295 feet above mean sea level (MSL). The airport is located adjacent to the intersection of State Highway 99 and 198, two significant roadways serving the area. The airport is a transportation hub for cargo and corporate aircraft activity in Tular
e County and portions of Kings County. Owned and oper‐
ated by the City of Visalia, it is situated on approximately 821 acres. The location is illustrated on Exhibit A.

In 1927, the “Dean of Aviators” in Tulare County (Sole Sweet) and his partner (Edwin Deeds) had a broken waterline in their aircraft and had to make a forced landing in J.F. Putnam’s cow pasture west of Visalia. The site was great for a future airport due to its level land and two grass strips  were established. Since the Visalia Municipal Airport was the first in the county, events there have contributed to local aviation history. The airport was dedicated on April 27, 1927. The army took over the airport in 1942 with the outbreak of World War II. In 1947 the airport wa s transferred back to the City of Visalia for use as a public airport.

In 1946, United Airlines began scheduled flights that carried passengers and airmail. The following year, in 1947, the Southern California Edison Company brought in the first helicopter to land in the county.

The company used helicopters for line patrol and transportation of heavy equipment.

Visalia, a charter City, operates under the council‐
manager form of government. The structure of this
government is comprised of seven departments including Administrative, Administrative Services, Com‐ munity Development, Parks & Recreation, Public Works, and the Fire & Emergency Management De‐ partment. The airport division, which is included in the Administrative Services Department, is responsi‐ ble for all aspects of planning, management, and oversight of the day‐ day operations of Visalia Municipal Airport.  Airport  management  is  also  responsible  for  managing  the  Valley  Oaks  Golf  Course.  Figure  A details Visalia organization structure.

AIRPORT ROLE

Currently, VIS is recognized within the FAA’s National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) as a General Airport (GA) and, therefore, is qualified for federal funding through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP).  The NPIAS identifies 3,304 airports within the United States that are viewed as important to national air transportation system by the FAA.

GA airports must meet certain minimal criteria to be included in the NPIAS including having a minimum of ten based aircraft.  Within the General Aviation airport classification there are four different airport categories: National, Regional, Local, and Basic. VIS is classified in the Regional category. The NPIAS in‐ dicates generally that Regional airports are in metropolit an areas and serve relatively large populations.

These airports support regional economies with interstate and some long‐distance flying and have high levels of activity, including some jets and multiengine propeller aircraft.

VIS has had commercial passenger service in the past and it is included on the list of airports that are eligible for
the Essential Air Service (EAS) program. EAS airports are eligible to receive federal funds to support com‐ mercial service at the airport. Those funds are provided directly to the carrier that provides the service.

Currently, no commercial carrier is operating at the airport. VIS is not cu rrently  eligible to receive EAS funds due to participation in the Community Flexibility Pilot Program. This program permitted communities re‐ ceiving subsidized Essential Air service (EAS) to obtain a federal grant equal to twice the subsidy that the Department of Transportation paid to the EAS carrier in the most recent 12 ‐month period in exchange for foregoing their subsidized EAS for 10 years. VIS will be eligible to receive EAS grants in 2027.

In addition to its inclusion in the NPIAS, Visalia Municipal Airport is also included within the State of Cali‐ fornia’s Aviation System Plan (CASP) 2020 edition. The state of California categorizes GA airports by airport size, geographic location, services available, and the level of activity taking place at the airport. VIS is catego‐ riz
ed as a Regional GA airport. This classification further identifies the airport as accommodating most of the business, multi‐engine, and jet aircraft; providing most services to pilots and aircraft; having a published in‐ strument approach; and possibly having a tower.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT HISTORY

Between 1999 and 2020, the Airport received AIP funding from the FAA for a variety of projects, including acquisition  of  land,  rehabilitation of  runways,  installment of  perimeter fencing,  and  a  wildlife  hazard assessment. Table A summarize
s the AIP grants received by the airport since 1999 which total approxi‐ mately $14.9 million. Most recently, in 2021, VIS received a grant for $144,000 in AIP funding to conduct this current ALP Update Narrative Report.

CLIMATE DATA

Weather conditions are a vital consideration in the planning and development of an airport. Temperature is used to determine the length of runways, while wind direction and speed are used to determine the optimal orientation of the runway. The percentage of time that visibility is reduced due to cloud coverage or other
meteorological conditions determines the navigational aids and lighting requirements for airports.

Visalia’s climate is described as hot and humid during the summer, and chilly in the winter, though never reaching an extreme point. Smog buildup is common due to wildfire season and the lack of rain, but air quality typically improves during the winter and spring. Figure B summarizes temperature and precipitation data from the National Oceanic and Atmo
spheric Administration (NOAA) weather station in Visalia, California from the period 1991‐2020.  This data shows an average annual high temperature of 80.2 degrees and an average annual low temperature of 46.6 degrees. July is the hottest month of the year with mean maxi‐ mum temperatures reaching 93.8 degrees, and December is the cool est month of the year with mean minimum temperatures reaching 37.9 degrees. Precipitation is most plentiful during winter months. The region rarely has snowfall.

Figure B ‐ Climate Data for Visalia, California

Wind data has also been collected from the airport’s AWOS, including wind speeds, direction, and gusts.

A total of 169,476 observations of wind direction and other data points were made over a 10‐year period beginning January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2020, which is the most recent data available for this airport
. Visual flight rules (VFR) weather conditions are observed approximately 88.20 percent of the time, while instrument flight rules (IFR) and poor visibility conditions (PVC) constitutes for 6.61 percent and 5.19 percent, respectively. These weather conditions are sourced from the Visalia Municipal Airport automated weather observation system (AWOS).

Exhibit B presents the associated wind coverage for the runway system at Visalia Municipal Airport. In all weather
conditions, Runway 12‐30 provides 99.77 percent coverage at 10.5 knots, 99.89 percent cov‐ erage at 13 knots, and nearly 100 percent coverage at both 16 and 20 knots. The Facility Requirements section, presented later in this report, includes additional infor mation as it pertains to wind coverage and runway orientation.

EXISTING FACILITIES

Airport facilities can be designated into two separate classifications: airside facilities and landside facili‐ ties. The airside facilities are directly associated with aircraft operations. These facilities may include, but

are not limited to, runways, taxiways, airport lighting, and navigational aids. Landside facilities pertains to the facilities necessary to provide safe and efficient transition from surface transportation to air trans‐ portation, as well as support aircraft servicing, storage, maintenance, and safe operation. The existing airport facilities are presented on Exhibit C.

AIRSIDE FACILITIES

Visalia Municipal Airport is served by Runway 12‐30 which is oriented in a northwest and southeast manner and constructed of asphalt with a porous friction course. The runway is reported by FAA to be in good condition. It is 6,562 feet long by 150 feet wide. There is a 917‐foot displaced landing th reshold on Runway

12. According to www.airnav.com, Runway 12 has non‐precision markings, while Runway 30 has precision markings. Precision instrument markings include the threshold bar, runway designation, centerline, thresh‐ old stripes, aiming point, touchdown zone, and edge markings. Non‐precision markings include the runway designation, threshold stripes, and aimin g point. The runway markings are in good condition.

A compass rose is located on the hold apron adjacent Taxiway D near the Runway 30 threshold. The compass rose, when constructed to applicated FAA standards, is used to determine calibrate aircraft avionics. Currently the compass rose is not calibrated and certified, howev er airport staff are taking steps
to do so.

There are two full‐length parallel taxiways, Taxiway D and N, located on both sides of Runway 12‐30.

Both are 50 ft wide. Taxiway D is separated from the runway, centerline to centerline, by 350 ft, while Taxiway N is separated by 400 feet, except for th e south portion that widens to a separation distance of 520 feet to allow space for the glideslope critical area. There are three taxilanes designated A, B, and C, each measuring 50 feet wide and providing access to hangar and apron areas. Taxiways E, F, G, H, J and K are all right angled taxiway conn
ectors, which provide access to and from Runway 12‐30.

The airport has a designated helipad that is located on the north end of Taxiway D. There is a short, 25‐ foot wide, taxilane stub leading from the helipad to four helicopter parking stands.

Pavement Strength Rating

The strength of the runway pavement is an important cons ideration for the utility of the runway. One
method that measures pavement strength considers the load bearing capacity for repeated use of the runway by aircraft with certain landing gear configurations. The pavement strength rating for Runway 12‐30 and Tax
iways D and N is published as 60,000 pounds single wheel loading (S), 100,000 pounds double wheel loading (D), and 160,000 pounds double tandem wheel (DTWL). The pavement strength rating  for  the  Helipad  is  published  as  18,000  pounds  single  wheel  loading  (s),  45,000  pounds  double wheel loa
ding (D), and 90,000 pounds double tandem wheel loading (DTWL). There are four helicopter parking positions near the helipad, these are restricted to a maximum weight of 20,000 pounds.

Runway Distance Remaining Signs

Runway distance remaining signs use a single number to indicate the remaining distance of the runway in thousands of feet. VIS has double‐faced runway distance remaining signs located on the northwest of runway.

Pavement Markings

Yellow taxiway centerline and edge markings are provided to as‐ sist pilots in maintaining proper cleara
nce from pavement edges
and objects near the taxiway/taxilane edges. The taxilanes also have a yellow centerline marking and where the taxilanes abut apron  pavement,  either  a  solid  or  dashed  line  yellow  line  is marked to indicate to pilots the taxiway edge.

Each taxiway connecting to the runway has yellow
holding posi‐
tion  markings  and  enhanced  centerline  marking  leading  to  the hold bar. These markings indicate to pilots their position on the airfield, help prevent inadvertent access to the runway, and en‐ sure  proper  separation  between  aircraft  prior  to  entering  the runway. Pilots using non‐towered airports must visually confirm that there is no aircraft
traffic prior to crossing the hold line.

VIS has surface‐painted holding position signs that provide visual cues to:

 Alert  pilots  of  upcoming  holding  position  markings  to help minimize the potential for runway incursions;
 Identify  the  location  of  a  runway,  Instrument  Landing System (ILS)/
Microwave Landing System (MLS), Precision
Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ) holding position; and
 Confirm  the  runway  landing  designator(s)  of  the  run‐ way(s) immediately beyond the surface marking.

Near the north end of Taxiway D, a white letter “H” is painted on the taxiway to indicate where helicop‐ ters should land and
take off. There is a yellow centerline marking leading from the letter “H” to four helicopter parking positions.

Airfield Lighting

Airfield lighting systems extend an airport’s usefulness into periods of darkness and/or poor visibility.

These lighting systems, categorized by function, are summarized as follows:

Runway Distance Remaining Signs
Surface Painted Holding Position Sign
Helipad Landing Area
Draft
13 24

Identification Lighting: The location of the airport is identified by a rotating beacon. A rotating beacon projects two beams of light, one white and one green, 180 degrees apart. The rotating beacon at VIS is a free‐standing beacon located north of based aircraft ramp.

Runway  and  Taxiway  Lighting:  Runway  lighting  utilizes  fixtures placed  near the  pavement edge  to  define  the  lateral  limits of  the runway. Both runway and  taxiway  lighting  are imperative for  safe and efficient access to and from aircraft parking areas and the run‐ way, especially after dark and during times of low visibility. Runway 12‐30 is equipped with a high int
ensity runway lighting (HIRL) sys‐
tem. Lights are set atop frangible supports, so if one is struck by an object, such as an aircraft wheel, they can easily break away.

Visual Approach Lighting: Visual approaches at many GA airports are aided by lighting systems, such as a precision approach path indicator (PAPI) or visual approach slope indicator (VASI), which provide ap‐ proach slope guidance.   Both ends of Runway 12‐30 are equipped with a four‐light PAPI system, with the standard  3.00‐de gree   glide path. The more sophisticated PAPI lighting system consists of a lat‐ eral configuration of lights that are situated to the side of the runway.

The PAPI lights, when interpreted by pilots, provide an indication of being above, below, or on the correct descent glide path to the run‐ way. Both PAPI sy
stems are on the left‐hand side of the approach end
of the runway. The approach end of Runway 30 is equipped with a Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with sequenced Flashers (MALSF). A MALSR provides visual guidance to landing aircraft by ra‐ diating light beams in a directional patte rn by which the pilot aligns the aircraft with the extended centerline of the runway.

Runway End Identifier Lights (REILs): REILs provide a visual identifi‐ cation of the runway end for landing aircraft. The REILs consist of two synchronized flashing lights, located laterally on each side of the runway threshold, facing the approaching aircraft. These flash‐ ing lights can be seen day or night for up to 20 miles depending on visibility cond
itions. Runway 12 is equipped with REILs.

Pilot‐Controlled Lighting: With the pilot‐controlled lighting (PCL) system, pilots can turn on the REIL for Runway 12, MALSR, PAPI’s, and HIRL from an aircraft through a series of clicks of their radio transmitter via a frequency of 123.05 MHz.

Weather Facilities

VIS is equipped with a lighted wind cone adjacent to the northwest portion of Taxiway N. The lighted wind cone is co‐located with a segmented circle, which provides traffic pattern information to pilots. A supplemental wind cone is located near the Runway 30 threshold and positioned 250 feet to the south of the runway centerlin
e. Wind cones provide pilots with wind speed and direction information.

The airport is equipped with an automated weather observ‐ ing  system  (AWOS),  which  automatically  records  weather conditions,  such  as  wind  speed,  wind  gusts,  wind  direction, temperature,  dew  point,  altimeter  setting,  and  density  alti‐ tude. This information is then transmitted at regular intervals and is accessible to pilots., and weather information can be obtained  via  radio  frequency  119.925  MHz  or  by  calling 559
‐651‐2418.

A Flight Service Station (FSS) is an air traffic facility that pro‐ vides information and services to pilots before, during and af‐ ter flights. The Rancho Murieta Flight Service Station (FSS) is accessible via the on‐airport Remote Communications Outlet which is available on frequency 122.1 MHz.

Area Navigational Aids

Area navigational aids are electronic devices that transmit radio frequencies, which pilots of properly equipped aircraft can translate into point‐to‐point guidance and position information. The types of elec‐ tronic navigational aids available for aircraft operating near VIS include the very high frequency omnidi‐ rectional range (VOR) facility and the global positioning system (GPS).

A VOR, in general, provid
es azimuth readings to pilots of properly equipped aircraft transmitting a radio signal at  every  degree  to  provide  360  individual  navigational  courses.  Frequently,  distance  measuring equipment (DME) is combined with a VOR facility (VOR/DME) to provide distance as well as direction in‐ formation to the pilot. Military tactic al air navigation aids (TACANs) and civil VORs are commonly combined to form a VORTAC. The VORTAC provides distance and direction information to both civil and military pi‐ lots. The Visalia VORTAC is located 5.2 nautical miles (nm) to the east and is available to guide pilots to the general area near the airp
ort.

GPS is an additional navigational aid for pilots. GPS differs from a VOR in that pilots are not required to navigate using a specific ground‐based facility. GPS uses satellites placed in orbit around the Earth that transmit electronic radio signals, which pilots of properly equipped aircraft use to determine altitude, speed, and other navigational information.

Instrument Approach Procedures

Instrument approach procedures are a series of predetermined maneuvers established by the FAA using electronic navigational aids that assist pilots in locating and landing at an airport during low visibility and cloud ceiling conditions. Instrument procedures are defined as either precision approach, approach with vertical  guidance  (APV),  or  non‐precision.  Precision   instrument  approaches  provide  an  exact  course alignment and vertical descent path for an aircraft on final approach to a runway with a height above threshold (HATh) lower than 250 feet and visibility lower than ¾‐mile. APVs also provide course align‐ ment and vertical descent path guidance but have HAThs of 250  feet or more and visibility minimums of ¾‐mile or greater. Non‐precision instrument approach aids provide course deviation information, but no glideslope deviation information.

AWOS & Glide Slope
Draft
15 26

Instrument approach procedure capabilities are defined by visibility and cloud ceiling minimums. Visibil‐ ity minimums define the horizontal distance the pilot must be able to see to complete the approach.

Cloud ceilings define the lowest level a cloud layer (defined in feet above the ground) can be situated for the pilot to complete th e approach. If the observed visibility or cloud ceilings are below the minimums prescribed for the approach, the pilot cannot complete the instrument approach.

VIS is currently equipped with four instrument approaches: a VOR approach to Runway 12, an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to Runway 30, and an RNAV‐GPS (Area Navigation) approach to Runway 12 and an RNA
V‐GPS approach to Runway 30. The instrument approach plates are shown in Exhibit D.

The ILS approach provides for the lowest visibility minimums of ½‐mile. The RNAV‐GPS‐based approach to  Runway  12  provides  localized  performance  with  vertical  (LPV)  guidance,  with  visibility  minimums down to ¾‐mile. The RNAV‐GPS approach to Runway 30 is overlaid on the ILS approach thus providing visibility minimums of ½‐mile.

LANDSIDE FACILITIE
S

Landside facilities are the ground‐based facilities that support the aircraft and pilot/passenger handling functions. These facilities typically include the airport terminal  building, aircraft storage hangars, aircraft parking aprons, and support facilities, such as fuel storage and roadway access. Landside facilities are identified on Exhibit E.

Airport Terminal

The airport has a terminal building that is approximately 3,600 square feet in size. The building has a lobby, kitchen, conference room, restrooms, and a pilot’s lounge. The terminal is operational from 6:00
a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. Saturday through Sunday. The FBO is open to the public from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sund
ays. FBO services are provided from the terminal build‐ ing and is owned and operated by the City of Visalia.

Rental Car

There is a 6,100 square foot rental car facility, which includes an on‐site car wash station, located west of the Terminal/FBO build‐ ing, that is occupied by Enterprise. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30am‐5pm.

Automobile Access and Parking

The airport’s landside facilities can be accessed via West Airport
Dr. A large, paved vehicle parking area is located in front of the Terminal/FBO with over 140 parking spots including 4 handicap spots and seven covered spaces. There are 28 parking spots in‐ side the fence near the FBO facilities.

AREA LAND USE

Existing and planned land uses surrounding airports can have a significant impact on airport operations and growth. Understanding the land use issues surrounding VIS will assist in making appropriate recom‐ mendations for the future sustainability of the airport for both environmental compatibility and eco‐ nomic development. In 2012, Tulare County completed a Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan (CALUP) to serve the following public purposes:

 To protect the long
‐term economic viability of public‐use airports in Tulare County by ensuring compatible land uses in the vicinity of each airport to the extent that lands in these vicinity areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses;
 To pr
omote the safety and well‐being of the public by ensuring adoption of land use regulations which minimize exposure of persons to hazards associated with the operation of these airports including aircraft accidents and aircraft noise
 To provide a set of policies  and criteria to assist the ALUC in evaluating  the compatibility and consistency of proposed local actions with respect to the CALUP; and  To provide guidance to local agencies in presenting proposed local actions to the ALUC for review.

EXISTING LAND USE

Land uses surrounding the airport include industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural. There is
also the Plaza Park (48 acres) and a recreation area located to the east of the airport which includes softball, tennis courts, a racetrack, and the Valley Oaks Golf Course (108 acres). To the north of the air‐ port agricultural, industrial, and highway commercial uses exist. State High way 99 is located immediately to the west, and State Highway 198 is located immediately to the north of the airport. Agricultural uses are also present to the east, south, and west. The existing land use map is illustrated on Exhibit F.

ZONING

The City of Visalia has developed land use controls in the vicinity of the airport based upon the City of Visalia  General  Plan  and  the  Zoning  Ordinance,  which  provides  a  listing  of  permitted  and  specifically restricted land uses. Most of the Zones around the airport are agriculture and undeveloped county land; however, there is also land with
public, industrial, commercial, and research use. Northeast of the airport there is a small section of land with light industrial use and single‐family residences. Zoning map is illus‐ trated on Exhibit G.

SAFETY ZONING

Safety zones are needed to define the nature of risk and to minimize the number of persons wh o may
be exposed to air crash hazards. This is done by restricting a property’s owner’s ability to develop or use land depending on height and the proximity to the airport’s safety zones. The six safety zones are illus‐ trated on Exhibit H.

AIRSPACE CHARACTERISTICS

The airspace within the National Air Transportation System (NAS) is divided into six different categories or classes. The airspace classifications that make up the NAS are presented on Exhibit J. These categories of airspace are made up of Classes A, B, C, D, E, and G airspace. Each class of airspace contains its own criteri a that must be met in terms of required aircraft equipment, operating flight rules (visual or instrument flight rules), and procedures. Classes A, B, C, D, and E are considered controlled airspace, which requires pilot communication with the controlling agency prior to airspace entry and throughout operation within the designate
d airspace. Pilot communication procedures, required pilot ratings, and required minimum air‐ craft equipment vary depending upon the class of airspace, as well as the type of flight rules in use.

As shown on Exhibit K, VIS is located within Class E airspace extending from the surface up to 18,000 feet mean se
a level (MSL). Class E airspace is controlled airspace, but aircraft conducting visual flights are not required to be in radio communications with air traffic control facilities.

Exhibit K also depicts other airspace features within the vicinity of VIS, including Victor Airways, Military Operations Areas (MOAs), Military Training Routes (MTRs ), and Wilderness Area.

AIRPORT TRAFFIC CONTROL

There is no airport traffic control tower at VIS; therefore, no formal terminal air traffic control services are available for aircraft landing or departing the airport. Aircraft operating in the airport vicinity are not required to file any type of flight plan or contact any air traffic control facility unless they are ent ering airspace where contact is mandatory. The common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) is used by pilots to obtain airport information and to advise other aircraft of their position in the traffic pattern and their intentions. Pilots can utilize the CTAF on the frequency 123.05 MHZ to announce their intentions.

LOCAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

VIS is situated at 295 feet MSL. The standard traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 feet above the elevation of the airport surface (1,295 feet MSL). An altitude of 1,295 ft MSL should be maintained for standard light aircraft (most common type of aircraft at a GA airport). The traffic pattern for heavy and turbine aircraft is 1,795 ft MSL above the airfie
ld elevation, while rotorcraft and ultralight aircraft should maintain an altitude of 795 ft MSL. A standard left‐hand traffic pattern turn is published for Runway 12‐30. As such, when aircraft within the local traffic is conducting a landing, a series of left turns will be made.

REGIONAL AIRPORTS

A review of other public‐use airports within 30‐nm of VIS had been made to identify and distinguish the types of air service provided in the region. It is important to consider the capabilities and limitations of these  airports  when  planning  for  future  changes  or  improvements  at  the  airport.  Public‐use  airports within the 30+ nautical miles of the airport are illustrated in Exhibit L. Information pertaining to each
airport was obtained from FAA Form 5010‐1, Airport Master Record. Of all the airports in the region, Visalia provides the most sophisticated instrument approach as it is the only one with an ILS.

SOCIOECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS

The socioeconomic characteristics of a region play an important role in the master planning process by providing an understanding of the growth dynamic within the study area. Socioeconomic data, including historic population, employment, income, and earnings, is collected and analyzed and will ultimately be used to determine aviation service level requirements. This data will also be used to develop aviation
forecasts for VIS. Aviation forecasts are typically related to the population base, economic strength of the region, and the ability of the region to sustain a strong economic base over an extended period.

Historic and forecast socioeconomic data for Tulare County and Kings County was obtained from Woods & Poole Economics
‐ Complete Economic and Demographic Data Source, 2021. Woods & Poole utilizes information from the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as other national and state organizations for historic data to project future conditions. The information is presented on Exhibit M.

ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES

Research has been done on 14 environmental impact categories outlined within FAA’s Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures (July 2015). Available information regarding the existing conditions at Visalia Municipal Airport was derived from internet resources, agency maps, and existing literature. The intent of this task is to catalog potential environmental sensitivities that might affe ct fu‐
ture improvements at the airport. Environmental sensitivities on and near the airport are depicted in Exhibit N.

 Air Quality. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Green Book National Area and County‐Level Multi‐Pollutant Information, both Tulare County and Kings County Ozone are non‐attainment areas for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O2). Tulare County and Kings County are attainment areas for all other federal criteria pollutants regulated by the EPA under the Clean Air Act.1

 Biological Resources. Per the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation Report (IPaC), ten endangered and/or threatened species with the potential to oc‐ cur in the vicinity of the airport have been identified and listed in Table C below.

According to the USFWS critical habitat mapper, the nearest critical ha bitat is the California Tiger Salamander, Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp, & Vernal Pool Tadpole Shrimp located 5.4 miles northwest of the airport.2

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits activities that would harm migratory birds, their eggs, or nests. Birds protected under the MBTA may nest, winter, or migrate through a region, including those species protected by the ESA. The IPaC report determined four migratory birds: the Black Tern (Childonias niger), the Clark’s Greb
e (Aechmophorus clarkii), the Nuttall’s Woodpecker
(Picoides nuttallii) and the Oak Titmouse (Baeolophus inornatus) may be present at the airport.

TABLE C | Federally Listed Endangered Species ‐ Visalia Municipal Airport, CA Common Name
(Scientific Name)  Federal Status  Habitat
Mammals
Fresno Kangaroo Rat
(Dipodomsy nitratoides exilis)  Endangered
Fresno Kangaroo Rat encompasses an area of grassland and cheno‐ pod scrub communities on the San Joaquin Valley floor, from about the Merced River, Merced County, on the south, to the northern edge of the marsh surrounding Tulare Lake, Kings County, on the south, and  extending  from  the  edge  of  the  vall
ey  floor  near  Livingston,
Madera,  Fresno,  and  Selma,  westward  to  the  wetlands  of  Fresno Slough and the San Joaquin River.1
San Joaquin Kit Fox
(Vulpes macrotis mutica)  Endangered
The Kit Fox is primarily found in association with Valley Sink Scrub, interior Coast Range Saltbush Scrub, Upper Sonoran Subshrub Scrub, Annual Grassland, and other grassland vegetation communities.2 Tipton Kangaroo Rat
(Dipodomys nitratoides nitratoides)  Endangered   Tipton Kangaroo Rat are desert‐adapted species and prefer open hab‐ itats with a little shrub cover.3
Reptiles
Blunt‐nose Leopard Lizard
(Gambelia Silus)  Endangered
Leopard Lizard use small rodent burrows for shelter from predators and temperature extremes. Burrows are usually abandoned ground squirrel tunnels or occupied or abandoned kangaroo rat tunnels. In areas of low mammal burrow density, lizards will construct shallow, simple tunnels in earth berms or under rocks.4
Giant Garter Snake
(Thamnophis gigas)  Threatened
The giant garter snake inhabits agricultural wetlands and other wa‐ terways such as irrigation and drainage canals, sloughs, ponds, small lakes, low gradient streams, and adjacent uplands in the Central Val‐ ley. Riceland fields also provides hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat for the species.5

A voluntary Part 150 study has not been conducted for Visalia Municipal Airport. Updated airport noise exposure contours are not being prepared as part of this study.

 Socioeconomic Impacts, Environmental Justice, and Children’s Environmental Health and Safety Risks. The EPA’s EJSCREEN online tool was consulted regarding the presence of minority and low‐ income populations. With a population of approximately 1,704 within two miles of the airport, 30 percent of that population is considered minority, while 33 percent is considered low income. Like‐ wise, according to EJSCR
EEN, eight percent of the population is under the age of five.

 Visual Effects. As previously discussed, the airport is surrounded by industrial, commercial, resi‐ dential, and agricultural.

 Water Resources (Wetlands, Floodplains, Surface Waters, Groundwater, Wild and Scenic Rivers)

o Wetlands.  According  to  USFWS  National  Wetlands  Inventory,  there  is  one  freshwater emergent, one freshwater pond and three riverines identified as a wetland present on airport property based on a review of aerial photography from 1984. Other wetland fea‐ tures, such as ponds and riverines are in
the vicinity of the airport. See Exhibit N.

The NRCS WSS identified the presence of hydric soils (soils that are saturated enough to develop anaerobic conditions during the growing season) on airport property, which are indicative of wetlands.

o Floodplains.  Per  the  Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency  (FEMA)  Flood  Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Community Panel  Number 909 map number 06107C0909E (effective June 16, 2009), the airport is within Zone AE, or a special flood hazard area with a base flood elevation. Portions of the airport are in Zone X, which is identified as areas of 0.2 percent annual chance flood; ar
eas of 1 percent annual chance flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 1 percent annual chance flood.4

o Surface Waters. There is no natural surface water feature on or in the vicinity of the airport.

o Groundwater. According to the United States Geological Service (USGS), the closest sole source aquifer is the Fresno County Aquifer SSA located 15 miles northwest of the air‐ port.5 The geologic make‐up of the area is comprised of unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers of the Central Valley aquifer system. Unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers are characterized by intergranular porosity, and all contain water primarily unconfined, or water‐table, conditions.5

o Wild and Scenic Rivers. According to U.S. National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Kings River is located approximately 43 miles northeast of the airport.6 The Kaweah River, Middle Fork is listed on the Nationwide Rivers Inventory, located approximately 32 miles northeast.

FORECASTS OF AVIATION DEMAND

Facility planning requires a definition of demand that may be expected to occur during the useful life of the  facility’s  crucial  components.  For  VIS,  this  involves  projecting  aviation  demand  for  a  20‐year timeframe. In this report, forecasts of county registered aircraft, based aircraft, based aircraft fleet mix, annual airport operations, and forecasts of airport peaking characte ristics are projected.

The forecasts generated may be used for a multitude of purposes, including facility needs assessments and environmental evaluations. The forecasts will be submitted to the FAA for review and approval to ensure accuracy and  reasonable  projections  of  aviation  activity.  The  intent  of  the  projections  is  to  enable  the airport to make facility improvements to meet demand in the most efficient and cost‐effectiv e manner
possible. In this report, forecasts of county registered aircraft, based aircraft, based aircraft fleet mix, and annual airport operations are forecasted to establish the existing and ultimate critical aircraft.

It  should  be  noted  that  aviation  activity  can  be  affected  by  numerous  outside  influences  on  a  local, regional
, and national level. As a result, forecasts of aviation demand should be used only for advisory purposes.  It  is  recommended  that  planning  strategies  remain  flexible  enough  to  accommodate  any unforeseen facility needs.

FORECASTING APPROACH

Typically,  the  most  accurate  and  reliable  forecasting  approach  is  derived from  employing  multiple
analytical  forecasting  techniques.  Analytical  forecasting  methodologies  typically  consist  of  regression analysis, trend analysis and extrapolation, market share or ratio analysis, and smoothing. Through the use  of  multiple  forecasting  techniques  based  upon  each  aviation  demand  indicator,  an  envelope  of aviation demand projections can be generated.

Regression Analysis
can be described as a forecasting technique that correlates certain aviation demand variables  (such  as  passenger  enplanements  or  operations)  with  economic  measures.  When  using regression analysis, the technique should be limited to relatively simple models containing independent variables for which reliable forecasts are available (such as population or income forecasts).

Trend  Analysis  and  Extrapolation  is  a  forecas
ting  technique  that  records  historical  activity  (such  as airport operations) and projects this pattern into the future. Oftentimes, this technique can be beneficial when local conditions of the study area are differentiated from the region or other airports.

Market Share or Ratio Analysis can be described as a forecasting technique that assumes the existence of  a  top‐down  relationship  between  national,  regional,  and  local  forecasts.  The  local  fore casts  are
presented  as  a  market  share  of  regional  forecasts,  and  regional  forecasts  are  presented  as  a  market share  of  national  forecasts.  Typically,  historical  market  shares  are  calculated  and   used  as  a  base  to project future market shares.

Smoothing  is  a  statistical  forecasting  technique  that  can  be  applied  to  historical  data,  giving  greater weight  to  the  most  recent  trends  and  conditions.  Generally,  this  technique  is  most  effective  when generating short‐term forecasts.

NATIONAL GENERAL AVIATION TRENDS

General  aviation  encompasses  all  portions  of  civil  aviation,  except  commercial  service  and  military operations.  To  d
etermine  the  types  and  sizes  of  facilities  that  should  be  planned  to  accommodate general aviation activity at VIS, certain elements of this activity must be forecast. These indicators of general aviation demand include based aircraft, aircraft fleet mix, and annual operations.

The current edition of the FAA Aerospace Forecasts, Fiscal Years 2021‐2041 forecasts the fleet mi x and
hours  flown  for  single  engine  piston  aircraft,  multi‐engine  piston  aircraft,  turboprops,  business  jets, piston  and  turbine  helicopters,  light  sport,  experimental,  and  others  (gliders  and  balloons).  The  FAA forecasts “active aircraft,” not total aircraft. An active aircraft is one that is flown at least one hour during the year
. From 2010 through 2013, the FAA undertook an effort to have all aircraft owners re‐register their aircraft. This effort resulted in a 10.5 percent decrease in the number of active general aviation aircraft, mostly in the piston category.

The  COVID‐19  pandemic  has  affected  the  general  aviation  market  in  the  short  term  as  ord ers  and
deliveries witnessed a decline in 2019‐2020, which has led to a ‐15.08 percent decrease in fuel sales from 2019‐2020.  However,  due  to  the  increased  operations  of  the  helicopters  and  business  jets,  charter operations,  and  VIP  transportation  among  others,  the  plans  for  fleet  modern ization  have  been unaffected in the long term. This is expected to enhance the growth of the general aviation market in the coming years. With the peak of those operations, fuel sales have already increased back up 14.3 percent from 2020‐2021 and will be keeping a consistent gro wth of 2.2 percent through 2021‐2041.

The long‐term outlook for general aviation is promising, as growth at the high end offsets continuing retirements at the traditional low end of the segment. The active general aviation fleet is forecast to remain relatively stable between 2021 and 2041. While steady growth in both GDP and corporat e profits
results in continued growth of the turbine and rotorcraft fleets, the largest segment of the fleet – fixed‐ wing piston aircraft – continues to shrink over the forecast period. Table D details the primary general aviation demand indicators as forecast by the FAA.

In 2021, the FAA estimated there were 139,065 pist
on‐powered, fixed‐wing aircraft in the national fleet.

The total number of piston‐powered aircraft in the fleet is forecast to decline by ‐0.9 percent from 2021‐ 2041,  resulting  in  116,905  by  2041.  This  reflects  a  decline  of ‐ 0.9  percent  annually  for  single  engine pistons and ‐0.4 percent for multi‐engine pistons.

Total turbine aircraft are forecast to grow at an annual growth rate of 1.7 percent through 2041. The FAA estimates there were 25,790 turbine‐powered aircraft in the national fleet in 2021, and there will be  35,780  by  2041.  This  includes  annual  growth  rates  of  0.6  percent  for  turboprops,  2.3  percent  for business jets, and 1.4 percent for
turbine helicopters. Exhibit P presents the historical and forecast U.S. active general aviation aircraft.

The FAA also forecasts total operations based upon activity at control towers across the U.S. Operations are  categorized  as  air  carrier,  air  taxi/commuter,  general  aviation,  and  military.  General  aviation operations,
both local and itinerant, declined significantly with the 2008‐2009 recession and subsequent slow recovery. Through 2041, total general aviation operations are forecast to grow 0.8 percent annually.

General Aviation Aircraft Shipments and Revenue

The 2007‐2009 economic recession had a negative impact on general aviation aircraft production, and the industry was slow to recover. Aircraft manu
facturing declined for three straight years from 2008
through 2010. Since this time, aircraft manufacturing has stabilized and returned to growth. According to General Aviation Manufactures Association (GAMA), there is an expected rebound in aircraft demand once the impact of the COVID pandemic has passed and a belief that innovations in electric  propulsion and supersonic technologies will increase the sector’s global reach. Despite the industry’s fourth quarter rebound, the pandemic took its toll on 2020 shipments and billings. The least affected segment, piston airplanes (including both single engine and multi‐engine aircraft), saw deliveries drop just 0.9 percent year over year to 1,312 units, but turboprop shipments declined 15.6 percent to 443, and business jet deliveries fell 20.4 percent to 644 aircraft. Table E presents currently available historical data related to
general aviation aircraft shipments.

Worldwide shipments of general aviation airplanes declined in the year 2020 with a total of 2,399 units delivered around the globe, compared to 2,658 units in 2019, but still surpassed the 2,325 units in 2017.

Worldwide general aviation billings were the highest in 2014. In 2020, there was a decline of new aircraft shipments with a total of $20,029 billion compar
ed to the previous year of $23,515 billion. North America continues to be the largest market for general aviation aircraft and leads the way in the manufacturing of piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft. The Asia‐Pacific region is the second largest market for piston‐ powered,
while Europe is the second leading in the turboprop and business jets.

Business Jets: Business jet deliveries decreased from 809 units in 2019 to 644 units in 2020, the second largest  drop  since  the  2008‐2009  economic  recession.  The  North  American  market  accounted  for  66 percent of business jet deliveries, which is a 1.1 percent decrease in market share compared to 2019.

Turboprops: Turboprop shipments were down from 525 in 2019 to 443 in 2020. North America’s market share of turboprop aircraft, however, increased by 4.6 percent in the last year. The European market also  increased,  while  Latin  Ameri ca,  Middle  East  Africana,  and  Asia‐Pacific  markets  decreased  their market share.

Pistons: In 2020, piston airplane shipments fell to 1,312 units compared to 1,324 units in the prior year.

North America’s market share of piston aircraft deliveries dropped 1.5 percent from the year 2019. The Asia‐Pacific market experienced a positive rate in market share during the past year, while Europe, Latin‐ Americ
a, and Middle East saw a decline.

U.S. Pilot Population

There were 469,062 active pilots certificated by the FAA at the end of 2020. All pilot categories, except private, rotorcraft‐, and recreational‐only certificates, continued to increase. Except for student pilots and airline transport pilots (ATP), the number of active general aviation pilots is projected to decrease about
2,654  (down  0.04  percent  annually)  between  2020  and  2041.  The  ATP  category  is  forecast  to increase  by  27,407  (up  0.7  percent  annually).  Sport  pilots  are  predicted  to  increase  by  2.7  percent annually over the forecast period, while both private and commercial pilot certificates are projected to decrease at an average annual rate of 0.4 and 0.1 percent, resp ectively, until 2041. The FAA has currently
suspended the student pilot forecast.

AIRPORT SERVICE AREA

The service area for an airport is a generalized geographical area where a potential market for airport services,  including  based  aircraft,  exists.  Seve
ral  factors  help  determine  the  airport  service  area, including a well‐connected infrastructure, accessibility to other GA airports, quality of aviation facilities, hangar space availability, and distance and travel time between users and facilities.

The service area for a Regional GA airport typically extends up to a 30‐nm radius around the airport but can stretch beyond
. The proximity to home or business and the level of GA services offered are largely the driving factors when aircraft owners are choosing an airport to base their aircraft. As shown in the previous chapter on Exhibit L, within 30 nm of VIS, there are six other  National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems  (NPIAS)  airports  offering  GA  services,  including  Sequoia  Field  Airport,  Mefford  Field  Airport, Hanford  Municipal  Airport,  and  Woodlake  Airport,  which  are  located  nine  nm  northeast,  10  nm southeast,  11  nm  west,  and  15nm  northeast,  respectively.  Even  though  there  are  several  competing airports nearby, none have runways capable of accommod
ating regular use by business jets.

There are two primary demand components that must be addressed in order to further define the GA service area. The first is the airport’s ability to attract based aircraft. Convenience is typically the primary factor in an aircraft owne r’s decision to base at a particular airport, with proximity to their residence or business being the driving force. The second demand segment to consider is itinerant aircraft operations.

In most instances, pilots will choose to utilize airports nearer their intended destination; however, this is also contingent on the airp ort’s  capabilities to accommodate the aircraft operator. As a result, airports offering quality services and facilities are more likely to attract itinerant operators in the region.

The CASP 2020 edition detailed the service area for VIS. The Central Coast and San Joaquin Valley East‐ West Connections corridor provides connectivity between two major agricultural  regions within central California.  The  corridor  also  supports  connectivity  for  national  defense  and  ensures  the  efficient movement of troops and equipment for Vandenberg Air Force Base, as well as four additional military Draft
47 58

bases  along  the  coast.  The  17  airports,  one  of  which  was  VIS,  are  within  two  miles  of  the  corridor’s principal highways. Visalia Municipal Airport is one of the greatest contributors for air cargo, reporting 2,583,878 pounds in 2018, is within two miles of State Routes 99 and 198, and is a transportation hub for all cargo
and corporate aircraft activity in the Tulare and Kings Counties area. VIS’s variety of services and available facilities (6,562‐foot‐long runway and instrument approach capabilities) also make it an attractive destination for itinerant operations. For these reasons, VIS primary service areas are Tulare and Kings Counties.

FORECASTS OF AVIATION DEMAND

Now that the airport service area has been established, current trends in aviation have been identified, and  the  approach  to  aviation  demand  forecasting  has  been  presented,  the  necessary  forecasts  of aviation  demand  for  the  airport  can  be  developed.  The  following  are  the  demand  indicators  to  be forecast for the airport:

 Based Aircraft

Based Aircraft Fleet Mix
 Operations (Local and Itinerant)
 Peaking Operations Periods
 Critical Aircraft

EXISTING FORCASTS

2022 Terminal Area Forecast (TAF)

The TAF is the official FAA forecast of aviation activity for U.S. airports. It contains active airports in the NPIAS including FAA‐towered airports, federal contract to wered airports, non‐federal towered airports,
and non‐towered airports. The TAF includes forecasts in categories such as air carrier, air‐taxi/commuter, general aviation, and military. While the TAF can and does provide a point of reference for comparison, its purpose is much broader in defining FAA national workload measures. Howe ver, due to the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic and its effect on aviation activity, the FAA is not currently requiring forecasts to be compared to the TAF.

Table F details the TAF operations forecast for VIS.

REGISTERED AIRCRAFT FORECAST

Prior  to  developing  a  forecast  of  based  aircraft,  it  is  helpful  to  have  an  understanding  of  aircraft ownership in the airport service area. Aircraft owners are required to register their aircraft with the FAA and receive an N‐number. Most aircraft owners will register their aircraft in the county in which they have a home or business and
in proximity to the airport that they base at. A small percent of aircraft will be registered out of the county or state. By analyzing registered aircraft in Tulare and Kings Counties and projecting  into  the  future,  we  will  have  an  understanding  of  future  aircraft  owne rship  in  the  airport service area. From this we can derive a based aircraft projection for the airport.

Historical registered aircraft counts for Tulare and Kings Counties from 1993 to 2021 are presented in Table G. Aircraft registrations have fluctuated from a low of 420 aircraft to a peak of 699. Over the last 10 years, registrations in both counties have declined from 632 registrations in 2011 to 420 in 2021. A contributing factor to this decline, initially, was a change in the aircraft registration process. The FAA
required all aircraft owners to re‐register their aircraft between 2010 and 2013. As a result, the number of general aviatio
n aircraft in the national fleet declined by 10.5 percent. Since 2013, registered aircraft nationally and locally have declined by 2.7 percent annually.

As detailed in the table, total registered aircraft in the county was 420 in 2021. Historically th e single engine
piston category accounted for almost all aircraft registrations in the county. Multi‐engines comprise the second largest category and are slowly declining over the years, while both the turboprop and helicopter categories are moving in a positive trend. This trend is comparable to what has been seen nationally.

New regist
ered aircraft forecasts have been prepared for Tulare and Kings Counties (bi‐county), which will ultimately be used to determine projections for based aircraft at VIS over the next 20 years. There are  different  forecasting  methods  to  use  when  developing  these  projections.  The  first  considers  a comparison of the service area re gistered aircraft against the number of active general aviation aircraft nationally, as forecast by FAA.

In 2021, the 420 registered aircraft in the bi‐county service area represented 0.2040 percent of national active aircraft. By maintaining this percent as a constant through the plan years, a forecast of service area registered aircraft
emerges. This forecast is essentially flat with only 426 registered aircraft within the  next  20‐years.  A  second  forecast  utilizing  the  national  forecast  of  active  general  aviation  aircraft considers the possibility that the downward trend will ultimately reverse, and growth will return in local aircraft ownership. In this increasing market share forecast, the registered aircraft in the local service area is projected to grow to capture 0.2395 percent of national aircraft. By 2041, th ere would be 500
aircraft in the airport service area for an annual growth rate of 0.88 percent.

Two more forecasts of registered aircraft have been developed based on population trends. For these projections, service area registrations were compared to the population in the bi‐county area, resulting in a ratio of registered aircraft per 1,000 residents. The analysis showed a low of 0.67 aircraft per 1,000 residents and a high of 1.05 since 2010. Two scenarios were evaluated: a constant ratio projection and an increasin
g ratio projection. Keeping the ratio constant at 0.67 throughout the plan years results in a continued increasing trend reaching 491 aircraft registrations by 2041. An increasing ratio projection evaluated a return to the average five‐year average ratio of 0.73, resulting in 535 aircraft registrations by 2041 for
a CAGR of 1.22 percent.

The registered aircraft projections resulted in a range between 426 and 535 registered aircraft in the bi‐ county area by 2041. Historic aircraft registrations have been declining since 2012, but the bi‐county are a is projected to have continued growth in the next 20 years, and the FAA projects aircraft registrations nationwide to return to growth. With the introduction of a new generation of general aviation aircraft including electric  aircraft,  unmanned  aircraft  systems  (UAS),  and  the  largest  growth  market  of  more Draft
50 61

sophisticated  aircraft (jets,  turboprops,  and  helicopters),  it  is  reasonable  to  consider  a  modest  growth scenario in which the bi‐county area returns to its 5‐year high of registered aircraft. For this reason, the increasing ratio of U.S. active aircraft projection will be carried forward as the selected forecast.

Table H presents all four forecasts of registered aircraft in tabular form. Eleven years of historical data are also provi

BASED AIRCRAFT FORECAST

Based aircraft records for individual airports have been historically inconsistent because airports were not required to report their based aircraft totals to the FAA. Recently, the FAA has begun requiring general aviation airports to report their based aircraft to a national database. Any aircraft that is claimed by only one airport is considered val
idated. If an aircraft is claimed by more than one airport that discrepancy must be resolved by identifying where the aircraft is based for the majority of the year. The FAA requires airport planning  studies  to  utilize  the  validated  based  aircraft number  as  the  ba seline.   The  most  recent  FAA‐ validated based aircraft count for VIS is 160 aircraft, which was recorded on (www.basedaircraft.com) in August 2022.

Two based aircraft forecasts utilize the registered aircraft projections developed in the previous section.

Like those forecasts, market share and ratio analyses were performed to produce a range of projections for based aircraft at VIS. These forecasts are detailed in Table J and Figure 2B.

Two market shares of registered aircraft projections for based aircraft have been developed. The first considers a constant market share of registered aircraft being retained over the planning period, and the second evaluates an increasing market share of registered aircraft. In 2021, the airport held 38.1 percent of  the  registered  aircraft  in  the  bi‐county  service   area.  Keeping  this  percentage  constant  over  the planning period produced a CAGR of 0.88 percent, and 190 based aircraft by 2041. An increasing market share of registered aircraft was also evaluated which considers the airport capturing up to 50.0 percent of the registered aircraft in the service area by 2041. This results in 179 by 2026, 201 by 2031, and 250 by 2041, with a 2.26
percent CAGR.

The next two forecasts considered the ratio of based aircraft to the service area population. There were

0.25 based aircraft per 1,000 residents in 2021. This ratio carried through as a constant resulted in  a slight growth with 186 based aircraft at VIS by 2041. A second population related forecast considers an increasing  ratio  of  based  aircraft  to  population.  By  2041,  0.29  based  aircraft  per  1,000  service  area residents is projected. This results in 215 based aircraft and a CAGR of 1.49 percent by 2041.

Over the next 20 years a total
of 55 new based aircraft are considered in the planning forecast. Currently there is a hangar wait list of 13 aircraft owners, and a new conventional hangar was recently constructed.

Plans are in place for additional hangar development in the near  term. This level of construction activity supports planning for more based aircraft at the airport, especially since VIS is the most capable of all the airports in the service area.

Based Aircraft Fleet Mix

The type of aircraft based at an airport is another important consideration when planning for the future.

, the fleet mix at VIS consists of 120 single engine piston aircraft, 36 multi‐engine piston aircraft, two jets, and two helicopters. Given that the total number of based aircraft is projected to increase over the planning period, it is necessary to project how the fleet mix will chan ge over this time. A forecast of the evolving fleet mix will ensure that adequate facilities are planned to accommodate these aircraft in the future.

The fleet mix projection for VIS was determined by comparing the airport’s existing fleet mix to national general aviation fleet mix trends. The forecast for the active U.S. GA fl eet shows that in the long‐term
single engines and multi‐engines will start to decline. Growth is expected in the sophisticated aircraft segments including business jets, turboprops, and helicopters. There will be a significant rising trend in experimental and light sport aircraft as well. General Aviati on Manufactures Association (GAMA) has high  optimism  that  innovations  in  electric  propulsion  and  supersonic  technologies  will  increase  the sector’s global reach, which is resulted in the growth of experimental and light sport aircraft.

Table K details the fleet mix projection prepared for VIS. While these forecasts take into account national trends,  the  fleet  mix  at  VIS  is  anticipated  to  continue  to  co nsist  primarily  of  piston  aircraft  over  the
planning period, which will account for 160 based aircraft by 2041. Multi‐engine pistons are projected to  decline  over  time,  consistent  with  national  trends,  accounting  for  34  based  aircraft  in  2041.  The growth segments (turboprops, jets, helicopters, other) will account for four, eight, six, and three based aircraft,
respectively, by 2041.

OPERATIONS

Operations are classified as either local or itinerant. A local operation is a takeoff or landing performed by an aircraft that operates within sight of the airport, or which executes simulated approaches or touch‐ and‐go operations at the airport. Generally, local operations are characterized by training operations or operations  that  remain  in  local  airspace  that  originat e  and  conclude  at  the  same  airport.  Itinerant operations  are  those  performed  by  aircraft  originating  or  concluding  at  another  airport.  Typically, itinerant operations increase with business and commercial use, since business aircraft are not generally used for large scale training activities.

As a non‐towered airport,
operational estimates for VIS are derived from several sources, including the FAA TAF and the FAA Form 5010 (Airport Master Record). Both the TAF and the current version of VIS’s Airport Master Record reports a total of 44,700 operations. For planning purposes there is no current or anticipated commercial service, th erefore the scope of this study excludes air carrier from the forecasts.

A further evaluation was also made for air taxi operations and determined there were 3,000 operations.

A total of 34,500 operations has been selected for use as the base year total operations count from which new operational forecast s will be developed.

Itinerant GA Operations Forecast

Several new forecasts for itinerant general aviation (GA) operations have been prepared, as presented in  Table L and on Figure 2C. Most operations occurring at VIS are itinerant in nature, accounting for approximately  81  percent  of  total  operations.  In  2021,  VIS  is  estimated  to  have  experien ced  25,000
itinerant  GA  operations.  Like  the  previous  projections,  market  share  and  ratio  comparisons  have been prepared.

For the market share projections, VIS’s annual itinerant GA operations have been compared to total U.S. itinerant GA operations occurring at towered airports. The first projection evaluates a constant market share  scenario,  where  the  airp
ort’s  2021  market  share  of  0.1894  percent  is  maintained  through  the planning period. Keeping this figure at a constant resulted in 29,810 operations projected by 2041.

Two  increasing  market  share  forecasts  were  also  prepared.  The  first  evaluated  a  low‐range  growth scenario, which derived a modest growth rate of 1.0 percent CAGR with 30,510 operations by 2041. The
second  increasing  market  share  considered  a  high‐range  scenario,  which  took  a  more  aggressive approach and produced a 2.0 percent CAGR with 37,150 operations by 2041.

Another forecasting methodology utilized considers the number of itinerant operations occurring at VIS compared to the number of based aircraft at the airport. In 2021, with 25,000 itinerant GA operations and 160 based aircraft, there were 156 itinerant operations per based aircraft (OPBA). When this figure is carried through the planning period, the result is 33,540 annual itinerant operati ons by 2041.

The VIS TAF was also included for comparison purposes. The TAF has projected no growth in the itinerant GA operations, with 25,000 operations projected during each forecast year.

The forecasts prepared resulted in a range between 25,000 and 37,150 annual itinerant GA oper ations
at VIS. The constant operations per based aircraft forecast, reflective of 1.48 percent CAGR, has been selected  as  the  most  reasonable  projection.  While  the  growth  rate  is  slightly  higher  than  what  is predicted nationally for itinerant operations over the next 20 years, this projection is justified with the current  level  of  itineran
t  activity  at  the  airport.  VIS  is  a  modest  hub  for  air  cargo  operations  and  is acceptable to assume that FedEx operations will increase at a higher frequency. The airport is also the only facility in the region to offer a 6,562‐foot‐long runway, making it attractive to itiner ant operators who require a longer runway.

Local GA Operations Forecast

Like the forecasts prepared for itinerant GA operations, new projections for local GA operations have been prepared. These forecasts are detailed in Table M and on Figure 2D. Local operations account for approximately 19 percent of operations at VIS. As mention ed previously, a local operation is one that
stays within the airport’s traffic pattern, such as training operations or touch‐and‐goes. There are an estimated 6,000 annual local GA operations at VIS, which translated to a market share of 0.0471 percent and 38 OPBA.

Market share and ratio forecasts have been prepared. The fir st forecast considers a constant market
share, with the airport’s 2021 market share of 0.0471 percent maintained through 2041. This produces 6,780 local GA operations by the end of the planning period, for a CAGR of 0.61 percent. Low‐range and high‐range increasing mark et share forecasts were also prepared. The low‐range projection considered a growth scenario based on a CAGR of 1.00 percent and resulted in 7,320 operations by 2041. The second increasing market share assessed more aggressive growth scenario of 2.00 percent, which equates to 8,920 by 2041.

The  next  forecast  considered  a  constant  ratio  of  38 local  operations  per  based  aircraft.  When  this
figure is maintained through the plan years, local operations increase to 8,170 by 2041, reflective of a

1.56 percent CAGR.

The  VIS  TAF  projection  was  also  included  for  comparison  purposes,  with  6,000  local  GA  operations forecast for each of the plan
years.

With  a  range  of  forecasts  resulting  in  outcomes  between  6,000  and  8,920  local  GA  operations, a moderate growth rate has been determined to be the most reasonable. The constant OPBA projection is the selected forecast as it reflects a realistic expectation of growth in this operational category.

AIR TAXI OPERATIONS FORECAST

The  air  taxi  category  can  be  classified  as  a  sub‐set  of  the  itinerant  operations  category  and  includes aircraft involved in on‐demand passenger charter, fractional ownership aircraft operations, small parcel transport, and air ambulance activity. While not typically a large percentage of total airport operations, air taxi operations can be condu cted via more sophisticated aircraft, ranging from multi‐engine piston aircraft up to large business jet aircraft. As a result, it is important to factor these types of operations at airports that experience substantial amounts of air taxi operations.

The  FAA  national  air  taxi  forecast  projects  a  1.0  percent  CAGR  in crease  in  air  taxi  operations  2021
through 2041. The primary reason for this increase is the technological advancements of the electric vertical  takeoff  and  landing  aircraft  (eVTOL)  and  the  continued  national  growth  in  the  business  jet segment of the air taxi category. The facilities and FBO services available at VIS are  accommodating to operators of business jets. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect the business jet component of air taxi activity to increase moderately over time at VIS.

Based  upon  the  5010  Airport  Master  Record  and  the  TAF,  VIS  experiences  11,000  annual  air  taxi operations. The 11,000 air taxi operations that were report ed were determined to be significantly higher
than what the airport currently reports, this is likely due to when the airport had commercial service, and the FAA forecast that the air taxi category would have a higher growth rate. Annual operations for 2021  were  estimated  to  be  3,000  based  on  data  obtained   from  AirportIQ,  which  is  a  data  collection service that contains archived aviation data on U.S. airports. The information obtained from AirportIQ was  cross‐referenced  with  the  FAA’s  Traffic  Flow  Management  System  Counts  (TFMSC),  a  database maintained by the FAA to monitor the type of aircraft and  frequency of usage at airports. This provided a better insight into the air taxi operations, and therefore, has been selected for use as the base year operational count from which new operational forecasts will be developed.

Table N presents one new forecast for air taxi operations at VIS along with two FAA TAF projectio ns. The
first method examines a constant rate of air taxi operations per based turbine aircraft. Carrying the existing level  of  1,500  air  taxi  operations  per  based  turbine  aircraft  forward  through  the  long‐term  planning horizon, a forecast of 18,000 air taxi operations emerges and a CAGR of 9.37 percent by year 2041.

The statewide TAF is viewed as the most reasonable as it accounts for the subtle growth associated with the introduction of new turbine aircraft in the based aircraft fleet mix, along with an assumption that new air taxi operators would conduct more frequent weekly departures (growing from 58 weekly in 2021 to 68 weekly by 2041). As mentione
d previously, VIS TAF is significantly higher than the current count of air taxi operations, which results in a 6.71 percent CAGR.

MILITARY OPERATIONS FORECAST

It is not uncommon for military aircraft to utilize civilian airports for training or other purposes. However, forecasting  military  operations  is  challenging  due  to  their  national  security  nature  and  the  fact  that missions can change daily,
making it difficult to project future operations based on historical data. Thus, it is not unusual for the FAA to flatline military operation projections. The 5010 Airport Master Record currently reflects 500 itinerant military operations for  2021. VIS is within two miles of the Central Coast and  San  Joaquin  Valley  East‐West  Connections  Corridor’s  principal  highways.  The  corridor  supports connectivity  for  national  defense  and  ensures  the  efficient  movement  of  troops  and  equipment  for Vandenberg Air Force Base, as well as four additional military bases along the coast. The FAA  TAF for VIS projects itinerant military operations at VIS are to remain static at 500 for the duration of the forecast period. This plan will reflect the TAF’s projection of military operations as its selected forecast.

ANNUAL INSTRUMENT APPROACHES

An annual instrument approach (AIA) is defined by the FAA as “an approach to an airport with intent to land by an aircraft in accordance with IFR flight plan, when visibility is less than three miles and/or when the ceiling is at or below the minimum approach altitude.” An aircraft must follow one of the published instrument approach procedu
res at an airport in order to qualify as an instrument approach. Practice or training approaches do not count as AIAs, nor do instrument approaches that occur in visual conditions.

In low visibility conditions or poor weather conditions, pilots can only complete flight training ope rations
under instrument flight rules (IFR). Local operations are not typically performed during IFR conditions.

Rather, most operations that occur in these conditions are by itinerant aircraft, which may include more sophisticated aircraft, such as turboprops and jets. As the fleet mix at the airport evolves to include more of  these  aircraft  type
s,  there  may  be  an  increase  in  AIAs.  Forecasts  of  AIAs  provide  guidance  in determining an airport’s requirements for navigational aids. As a result, an estimate of the total number AIAs can be made based on a percentage of itinerant operations regardless of poor weather conditions.

Draft

An estimate of 2.5 percent of total itinerant (general
aviation, air taxi and military) operations is utilized to forecast  AIAs  at  Visalia  Municipal  Airport,  as
presented in Table Q.

PEAK PERIOD FORECASTS

Forecasts of peak activity at an airport are important in determining facility requirements for the future.

The peaking periods used to develop the capacity analysis an d facility requirements are as follows: peak
month, design day, busy day, and design hour. Peak month refers to the calendar month in which traffic activity is highest. The design day is the average day in the peak month, while the busy day is reflective of the busiest day of a typical w
eek during the peak month. Finally, design hour refers to the peak hour within the design day.

Because VIS is not equipped with an airport traffic
control  tower,  precise  operational  data  is  not
available  for  establishing  true  peaking
characteristics. For this reason, estimated peaking
characte
ristics  have  been  developed  based  on
knowledge of other general aviation airports with
control towers. For this study, the peak month was
estimated at 10 percent of the annual operations, which results in 3,450 operations during the peak month of the base year. By the end of the planning period, 4, 580  operations are projected to occur during the peak month. The design day is estimated by dividing the peak month by the average number of days in a month, and the busy day is calculated at 1.25 times the design day. The design hour is estimated at 15 percent of the de sign  day. Peak period forecasts are presented in Table R.

FORECAST COMPARISON TO THE TERMINAL AREA FORECAST

The forecasts prepared for this study are one of two elements that must be approved by the FAA. Once the selected forecasts are submitted to the FAA, they are reviewed for consistency with the TAF by the local
Airport  District  Office  (ADO)  or  Regional Airports  Division  (RO),  who  is  responsible  for  not  only reviewing and approving the forecasts, but also ensuring the projections are based on reasonable planning assumptions,  use  current  data,  and  are  developed using  appropriate  forecast  methods.  Forecasts  are considered consistent with th e TAF if they differ by less than 10 percent in the five‐year period and 15 percent in the 10‐year period. If the forecast is outside these tolerances, justification must be provided before the FAA will approve the forecast. The FAA allows this differential because the TAF projections are not meant to replace forecasts devel
oped locally, such as the projections presented in this study.

Table S presents the 2022 TAF comparison to the based aircraft and operations forecast in this study. The TAF shows 80 based aircraft in the base year of 2021; however, the official FAA based aircraft in ventory
from  www.basedaircraft.com  shows  that  there  are  160  based  aircraft.  Therefore,  the  based  aircraft forecast is not consistent to the TAF, and the FAA should update the TAF. The base year operations forecast TABLE Q | Annual Instrument Approaches

CRITICAL AIRCRAFT

The critical aircraft is defined as an aircraft conducting at least 500 annual operations, excluding touch‐ and‐go operations at an airport or the most regularly scheduled aircraft in commercial service. When planning for future airport facilities, it is important to consider the demands of aircraft operating at the airport currently or anticipated to operate in the future. Cautio n must be exercised to ensure that short‐
term development does not preclude the long‐term needs of the airport. Thus, a balance must be struck between the facility needs of aircraft currently operating at an airport versus those projected to operate.

AIRCRAFT CLASSIFICATION

The selection of appropriate FAA design standards for the development and location of airport facilities is based primarily upon the charac
teristics of the aircraft which are currently using, or are expected to use, an airport. The critical aircraft is used to define the design parameters for an airport. The design aircraft may be a single aircraft typ
e or, more commonly, a composite aircraft representing a collection of  aircraft  with  similar  characteristics.  The  critical  aircraft  is  defined  by  three  parameters:  Aircraft Approach  Category  (AAC),  Airplane  Design  Group  (ADG),  and  Taxiway  Design  Group  (TDG).  FAA  AC 150/5300‐13B, Airport Design, describes the following airplane classification systems, the param eters of which are presented on Exhibit R.

Aircraft Approach Category (AAC) | A grouping of aircraft based on a reference landing speed (V REF), if
specified,  or  if  VREF  is  not  specified,  1.3  times  stall  speed  (VSO)  at  the  maximum  certificated  landing weight. VREF, VSO, and the maximum certificated landing weight are those values as established for the aircraft by the certification authority of the country of registry. In addition, the Operational Specifications Draft

under Part 121, Part 129, or Part 135 for a specific operator and aircraft type may specify a minimum approach speed that is the AAC, rather than VREF. The AAC generally refers to the approach speed of an aircraft  in  landing  configuration.  The  higher  the  approach  speed,  the  more  restrictive  the  applicable design standards. The AAC, depicted by a letter A through E, is the aircraft approach category and relates to  aircraft  approach  speed  (operational  characteristic).  The  AAC  generally  applies  to  runways  and runway‐related  facilities,  such  as  runway  width,  runway  safety  area  (RSA),  runway  object  free  area (ROFA),
runway protection zone (RPZ), and separation standards.

Aircraft  in  AAC  A  and  B  are  further  distinguished  between  those  weighing  more  or  less  than  12,500 pounds. Those under 12,500 pounds are classified as “small” or (s). The applicable design standards for the airport are different based on the “small” cla
ssification.

Airplane Design Group (ADG) | The ADG, depicted by a Roman numeral I through VI, is a classification of aircraft which relates to aircraft wingspan or tail height (physical characteristic). When the aircraft wingspan
and tail height fall in different groups, the higher group applies. The ADG influences design standards for taxiway safety area (TSA), taxiway object free area (TOFA), apron wingtip clearance, and various separation distances.

Taxiway Design Group (TDG) | A classification of airplanes based on outer‐to‐outer Main Gear Width (MGW) and Cockpit to Main Gear (CMG) distance. The TDG relates to the undercarriage dimensions of the design aircraft
. The taxiway design elements determined by the application of the TDG include the taxiway width, taxiway edge safety margin, taxiway shoulder width, taxiway fillet dimensions, and, in some cases, the separation distance between parallel taxiwa ys/taxilanes. Other taxiway elements, such as the TSA, TOFA, taxiway/taxilane separation to parallel taxiway/taxilanes or fixed or movable objects, and  taxiway/taxilane  wingtip  clearances,  are  determined  solely  based  on  the  wingspan  (ADG)  of  the design aircraft utilizing those surfaces. It is appropriate for taxiways to be planned and built to different TDG standards based on expected use.

Exhibit S presents the a
ircraft classification of the most common aircraft in operation today.

AIRPORT AND RUNWAY CLASSIFICATION

Airport and runway classifications, along with the aircraft classifications defined previously, are used to determine the appropriate FAA design standards to which the airfield fac ilities are to be designed and built.

Airport Reference Code (ARC) | An airport designation that signifies the airport’s highest Runway Design Code (RDC) minus the third (visibility) component of the RDC. The ARC is used for planning and design only and does not limit the aircraft that may be able to oper ate safely on the airport.

Runway Design Code (RDC) | A code signifying the design standards to which the runway is to be built.

The RDC is based upon planned development and has no operational component. The AAC, ADG, and runway visual range (RVR) are combined to form the RDC of a particular runway. The RDC provides the information needed to determine certain design standards that apply. The first component, depicted by
a  letter,  is  the  AAC  and  relates  to  aircraft  approach  speed  (operational  characteristics).  The  second component, depicted by a Roman numeral, is the ADG and relates to either the aircraft wingspan or tail height  (physical  characteristics),  whic
hever  is  most  restrictive.  The  third  component  relates  to  the Draft

visibility minimums expressed by RVR values in feet of 1,200 (⅛‐mile); 1,600 (¼‐mile); 2,400 (½‐mile); 4,000  (¾‐mile);  and  5,000  (1‐mile).  The  RVR  values  approximate  standard  visibility  minimums  for instrument approaches to the runways. The third component should read “VIS” for runways designed for visual approach use only.

Approach  Referen
ce  Code  (APRC)  |  A  code  signifying  the  current  operational  capabilities,  within standards, of a runway and associated parallel taxiway with regard to landing operations. Like the RDC, the APRC is composed of the same three components: the AAC, ADG, and RVR. The APRC describes the current operational capabilities of a runway under particular meteor ological conditions where no special operating procedures are necessary, as opposed to the RDC, which is based upon planned development with no operational component.

Currently, the runway‐taxiway centerline separation for Runway 12‐30 is 350 feet at its closest point.

Given that Runway 12 is served by a VOR approach and a GPS approach with ¾‐mile visibility minimums, and Runway 30 is served by an ILS approach and a GPS approach with the lowest visibility minimums of
½‐mile, this runway way is within APRC B/III/2400.

Departure Reference Code (DPRC) | A code signifying the current op erational capabilities, within current standards,  of  a  runway  and  associated  parallel  taxiway  with  regard  to  takeoff  operations.  The  DPRC represents  those  aircraft  that  can  take  off  from  a  runway  while  any  aircraft  are present  on adjacent taxiways, under particular meteorological conditions with no special operating conditions. The DPRC is similar to the APRC but is composed of two components: AAC and ADG. A runway may have more than one DPRC depending on the parallel taxiway separation distance.

The current runway/taxiway centerline separation for
Taxiway D is 350 feet, which results in a DPRC
of B/III for Runway 12‐30. Taxiway N has a separation of 400 feet, which results in a DPRC of C‐II for Runway 12‐30.

CRITICAL AIRCRAFT

As stated previously, it is critical to have an accurate understanding of the type of aircraft that operat e
at  the  airport  currently  and  are  expected  to  use  the  airport  in  the  futu re.  Aircraft  type  can  have  a significant  impact  on  airport  design  criteria  and  the  type  of  facilities  necessary  to  accommodate  the aircraft that are utilizing the airport most frequently.

The most recent annual data was obtained from the FAA’s TFMSC, a database maintained by the FAA to monitor the type of aircraft and
frequency of usage at airports. Typically, information is added to the database when pilots file flight plans and/or when flights are detected by the National Airspace System (NAS) on radar. Although the program can identify the aircraft operating under IFR‐filed flight plans and on  radar,  it  does  not  account  for  aircraft  operating  under  visual  conditions  without  a  flight  plan.

Howev
er, FAA indicates that it does capture more than 95 percent of turboprop and jet operations as operators of these types of aircraft almost always file a flight plan. The TFMSC report for VIS is displayed on Exhibit T
.

Existing and Ultimate Critical Aircraft

A TFMSC report was prepared to identify the primary aircraft types operating at VIS. The data is limited as  the  TFMSC  reports  only  5,434  operations  in  2021,  which  is  approximately  16  percent  of  the  total operations. Most of the operations (46 percent) reported in the TFMSC are by aircraft in  A‐II, which is largely conducted by the Cessna Caravan. VIS is a modest hub for air cargo operations and currently has FedEx Ship Center based there, which correlates to the usage of the Cessna Caravans. B‐II category of aircraft is the second most physically demanding aircraft conducting more than 500 operations , which includes representative aircraft such as the Citation CJ2 and the King Air 200/300/350 series. The CASP classifies VIS as a Regional‐Business Corporate GA airport and a major transportation hub for all cargo and corporate aircraft activity. Therefore, the existing critical aircraft for VIS is set within ARC‐B‐II, with the repr
esentative aircraft being the Beechcraft King Air 200/300/350 series, which are the most active B‐II aircraft at VIS according to the TFMSC data.

For the future critical aircraft, it is crucial to consider the potential impact of additional based jets and the increased future operati
ons. Manufacturing trends are moving towards larger/faster jets, and VIS already accommodates moderate operations by AAC C jets and even some that are in the AAC D. As can be seen on Exhibit T, approach category C aircraft, including the Gulfstream G100 and the Challenger 600/604 have more than regained the operatio nal count that it once had in 2019 (before pandemic), a 75  percent  and  86  percent  increase  respectively  from  the  prior  year.  AAC  D  aircraft,  such  as  the Gulfstream 450 and Gulfstream 500/600, have also had growth conducting 56 operations combined in 2021 according to the TFMSC data. It is reasona ble to consider with the continuation of national and airport trends in the next 20 years and new hangar development with current 13 aircraft owners on the waiting  list,  6  of  which  are  corporate  aircraft,  that  combined  annual  operations  by  that  grouping  of aircraft could meet the 500 operations.

In addition, VIS has historically been planned to meet ARC C‐III standards with the airport’s role in the
states system plan including business jets, which are primarily within the ARC C‐II category. For these reasons, the ultimate critical aircraft is a C‐II aircraft, represented by the Gulfstream G100/150, which  is the most active C‐II aircraft at VIS currently.

TAXIWAY DESIGN GROUP (TDG)

The  existing  critical  aircraft  at  VIS  is  the  King  Air  200/300/350  series,  operating  over  500  annual operations, which falls into the TDG 2A. Currently the airport is designed to meet TDG 3 standards, due to when it had air carri
er activity operated by Boeing 737‐200. Since that time there has been minimal activity in the TFMSC by TDG 3 aircraft, therefore there is no justification that the airport should remain a TDG 3. Furthermore, the King Air aircraft are the most frequent oper ators at VIS; therefore, taxiway design should meet TDG 2A standards.

The most active C‐II operating at VIS is the Gulfstream 100/150 (TDG 1B). Establishing the ultimate critical aircraft to TDG also must consider aircraft within the B‐II category, such as the Beechcraft King Air series of turboprops. While th
ese aircraft have slower approach speeds than the business jets, they have a higher TDG rating of 2A. It is anticipated that the fleet mix of aircraft at VIS will continue to include a Draft

growing number of business jets within the AAC C/D and ADG II categories, represented by a Gulfstream 450 (TDG 2A). For these reasons and the purpose of this study, the ultimate taxiway design standard should also remain within the TDG 2A category.

Existing and Ultimate Airfield Design

The RDC relates to specific design criteria set forth by the FAA that an airport should meet. The RDC is determined  by  the  aircraft
or  category  of  aircraft  expected  to  use  each  runway.  Runway  12‐30,  the airport’s only runway, measures 6,562 feet long by 150 feet wide with an APRC and DPRC capable of accommodating up to ARC B‐II aircraft. Runway 12 is equipped with a VOR approach and a GPS approach with  visibility  minimums  down  to  ¾‐mile,  and  Runway  30  is  served  by  an  ILS  approach  and  a  GPS approach with
the lowest visibility minimums down to ½‐mile. The existing ARC  for VIS is B‐II, and the resulting RDC for Runway 12‐30 is B‐II‐2400; the existing TDG is 2A.

Based on the ultimate critical aircraft (C‐II), planning should reflect RDC C‐II‐2400 design standards. Most of  the  existing  airfield  facilities  already  meet  RDC  C‐II‐2400  design  standards,  exc ept  the  separation between Taxiway D and Runway 12‐30. The current distance measures 350 feet, which will need to be extended by an additional 50 feet to meet the 400 feet design standard of an RDC C‐II‐2400. The current taxiway design for the entire airfield should be TDG 2A. As such, the taxiways supporting each runway should be at least 35 feet wide. The taxiways at VIS are currently 50 feet wide, exceeding the design standard. While the greater widths provide an added safety margin for aircraft operating at the airport, the FAA may elect not to fund regular pavement maintenance for the portions of taxiway pavement that exceed the standard. If the airport chooses to maintain the taxiways at their current widths, the costs may need to come from a local funding source rather than federal or state grants.

Agenda Item Wording:

Presentation and discussion of the proposed 2023 Citizens Advisory Committee Annual Public Opinion Survey.

Deadline for Action: None
Submitting Department: Administration
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Frank Ruiz, CAC Chair, [email protected], (909) 215-8306 Jason Serpa, Staff Representative, [email protected], 713-4533 Luma Fahoum, Staff Representative, [email protected], 713-4103 Department Recommendation:

The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) recommends the City Council review and approve this year’spublic opinion survey for a scheduled release in March, with discussion and input on new questions to be included.

Background Discussion:

Since the 1970’s,the City of Visalia has conducted some type of public opinion survey to gauge the public satisfaction with City services. The survey has been conducted in various formats through the years, including in-person surveys and online. The Citizen’sAdvisory Committee (CAC) is proposing to conduct a public opinion survey to determine the public’ssatisfaction with City services and is bringing forward the draft version for Council approval.

Most of the survey remains unchanged from year to year to better measure trends and changes in public opinion. This is consistent with survey methodology. However, each year the CAC and/or the City Council have the option to insert one to three new questions related to issues currently of particular interest or concern. City Council is also able to recommend changes to format or make suggestions for a new question to be added.

The CAC Committee is open to discussing format changes, gather input from Council regarding new questions, and look for overall improvements that can help garner participation from a wider range of the community.

Proposed New Topics:

The Citizens Advisory Committee is suggesting the following topics for discussion and formulation of potential new questions. At Council discretion, these topics may be included or excluded. Council may also suggest new topics or questions to be added. The committee’s suggested topics for discussion are as follows:

1. Allowing Brick and Mortar Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries

2. Red Light Cameras for specific intersections

3. Homelessness and future solutions

4. Police Training on handling people with mental health problems or disabilities

5. Earth Day
Even though new questions are not a requirement for the survey, historically Council has inserted at least one question of interest for possible future decision making. The CAC Committee believes that these topics, when cross tabulated with other demographics, may prove useful. It must be mentioned that any result, even demographics themselves, can be cross tabulated with any demographic within the survey and staff is willing to calculate these types of results at City Council’s request.

If the Council is interested in adding new questions to the survey, staff recommends that Council provide that direction, and staff will return at the next meeting with some draft questions for Council consideration.

In addition, senior staff has made some additional changes to the demographic collection section to better meet current best practices regarding race and ethnicity.

Outreach:

Since 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, the Public Opinion Survey has primarily been conducted online with a heavier outreach plan from the City’sCommunications Manager, Allison Mackey. Hard copies were available at both City Hall locations and the Administration building, and even though the survey experienced the most participation ever during these periods, the CAC strives for more respondents every year. Using various e-mail lists like the City’snewsletter and the Visalia Unified School District listing, adding that type of outreach to all media that is used already, every Citizen should be able to access the survey.

The survey will be handled similarly this year, with links being sent in both English and Spanish in all communication. To try to get more participation, especially reaching under-surveyed populations like 55 and over, the committee will be trying to reinstate in-person survey booths that have physical and touchless survey options. Trying to reach each quadrant in the City in this manner will hopefully have an impact that may give the survey new depth in statistics.

After the survey is conducted, staff will bring the survey results back to Council for review.

Contact Name and Phone Number: Chief Jason Salazar, ext. 4215, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>; Financial Analyst Liz Ybarra, ext. 4250 [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.

Department Recommendation:

Authorize and accept recommended expenditures for training, equipment, salary & benefits for 1.5 police officer positions through the State of California fiscal year 2022-2023 Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program funds of $219,458 and $139,245 for fiscal year 2021-22 COPS Growth funds for a total grant of $358,703 and appropriate $115,500 for the current Grant and $46,797 from prior year funds.

Summary:

AB 3229 creates the Citizens Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program. The bill allocates money to cities and counties for law enforcement and public safety purposes. California Government Code section 30061 to 30063 regulates the funding.

The City of Visalia was allocated a total of $358,703 and the funds will be deposited in and expensed from Fund 631. The Grant will be used to continue funding salary and benefits for 1.5 existing police officer positions. In addition, the Department use the funds for training, equipment, and software for Police operations.

Background Discussion:

In FY 2022/23 the State allocated a total of $214,200,000 for COPS and Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention (JJCPA) and it is shared among County and City Agencies. The State allocates 5.15% to the County Sheriff’s Office, 5.15% to the District Attorney’s Office, 50% for JJCPA, and 39.7% for City and County front line law enforcement services. The allocations are calculated in a manner that provides a minimum Grant allocation of $100,000 to each law enforcement jurisdiction. The City Council is responsible for appropriating the COPS Grant funds, which may only be spent on “front line law enforcement services” and may not be used to supplant existing law enforcement services. “Front line law enforcement services” is not specifically defined in the legislation, but includes anti- gang and community crime prevention programs, equipment, or services. The funds may not be used Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 3

for capital construction projects. Funds must be expended or encumbered annually.

Fiscal Impact:

The COPS Grant is budgeted annually which includes projected revenue and expenditures. Once the final Grant allocation is announced and expenditures are finalized, adjustments are made to the budget. A budget adjustment for revenue of $8,703 is required FY 22/23.

The police officer position is included in the budget projections for the current fiscal year. The cost of the new equipment and software are $101,900, therefore requires new appropriations for a total of $162,297 ($115,500 + $46,797), which includes prior year funds. The table below will provide details about the revenue and expenditures for the Grant Fund.

Agenda Item Wording:

Affirm the submission to the Caltrans Aeronautics Airport Improvement Program matching grant for the amount of $6,075 to fund a portion of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) required Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP). Resolution 2023-01 required.

Deadline for Action: None
Submitting Department: Administration - Airport
Contact Name and Phone Number:

Jody Miller, Airport Manager, (559) 713-4282, [email protected] Nick Mascia, Assistant City Manager, (559) 713-4323, [email protected] Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council affirm the submission to the Caltrans Aeronautics Airport Improvement Program matching grant for the amount $6,075 to fund a portion of the upcoming PMMP project and adopt Resolution 2023-01. Airport staff will return to council after formal acceptance of the grant for permission to appropriate funds for the entire project and award the project to Brandley Engineering.

Background Discussion:

In November of 2019, the Visalia City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Visalia and Brandley Engineering for the purpose of providing airport engineering design services and project management for a 5-year contract period. The projects that Brandley shepherds for the airport, as well as the majority of the CIP projects at the airport, are federally funded. To continue fully qualifying for FAA funding of the airport, there were two key projects that need to be completed. The first is an updated Airport Layout Plan which is an 18-month project that began in November of 2021 and is expected to be completed by summer of 2023. The second project is a Pavement Maintenance Management Plan (PMMP). This project, which was listed under the scope of services for Brandley Engineering, is already in the approved CIP budget, as well as the FAA Airport Capital Improvement Plan (ACIP) for the current fiscal year.

The PMMP will consist of four main elements:

1. Pavement Structure Determination-This will consist of geotechnical borings into all the existing movement areas and will determine the existing strength and thickness of every pavement section on the airfield.

2. Falling Weigh Deflectometer Testing- This non-destructive testing will obtain necessary basic data to evaluate the pavement at the airfield. The falling weigh deflectometer will be utilized every 100-200 feet of all movement areas.

3. Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Determination-A detailed visual inspection of all paved areas of the airfield. Once these surveys are complete, Pavement Condition Index values will be assigned to Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
102

each section of pavement.

4. Engineering Analysis and Report- All the data obtained from the first three elements will be put together and analyzed along with air traffic forecasts to determine the lifespan of the movement areas as well as recommended future rehabilitation.

The PMMP report that the City will receive at the completion of the project will be vital in guaranteeing federal funding for the rehabilitation, when needed, of all airfield movement areas and ensuring the appropriate pavement is treated at the appropriate time.

In August of 2022 Airport staff received approval from Council to accept $121,500 in Federal grant funds for this project.

Airport staff will return to council after formally accepting the state grant to appropriate the funds for the project and to award the work to Brandley Engineering as it is a listed job in the five-year professional services agreement that the City entered with them in November 2019.

Fiscal Impact:

Visalia Municipal Airport has received $121,500 in federal funds for the upcoming FAA required PMMP project. Total project cost will be $135,000, the remaining $13,500 in project cost will be split between the currently requested $6,075 in State of California participation, and $7,425 from Airport Fund.

Prior Council Action:

Aug 15th 2022: Council authorized Airport Staff to accept a federal grant in the amount of $121,500 for the PMMP project.

Nov 4th 2019: Council authorized an annual contract with Brandley Engineering for the purpose of providing airport engineering design services and project management, for a 5-year contract period.

Alternatives: City Council could not authorize the acceptance of the state grant and airport staff would explore other avenues to fund the FAA required PMMP project.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to affirm submission to the Caltrans Aeronautics Airport Improvement Program matching grant in the amount of $6,075 to fund a portion of the upcoming PMMP project and adopt Resolution 2023-

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the reimbursement agreement for the dedication of riparian waterway areas as dedicated with the River Island Ranch Phase 1 and Phase 2 final subdivision maps.

Background Discussion:

Under Resolution No. 97-11, adopted by City Council on February 3, 1997, in accordance with the Waterways Policy of the Conservation, Open Space, Recreation, and Parks Element of the City’s General Plan, developers will be compensated for the dedication of required development setbacks along specific waterways. The St Johns River runs along the easterly and northerly boundary of the River Island Ranch Phase 1 and Phase 2 subdivisions and is identified in the City’sWaterways & Trails Master Plan. The approximate 100-foot development setback along the south and west banks of the river, totaling 5.54 acres, was dedicated to the City with each phase of the project’s final subdivision maps.
· River Island Ranch Phase 1 - Map recorded June 2, 2000: Dedication of 2.18 acres. · River Island Ranch Phase 2 - Map recorded January 26, 2022: Dedication of 3.36 acres.

Per City policy, the area being dedicated shall be reimbursed based upon the City’s land value appraisal report at the time of dedication and is based upon the corresponding land zoning designation. As determined by the Developer Reimbursement Review Committee, the Phase 1 dedication of 2.18 acres will be reimbursed at the low value range of $81,666 per acre for Residential Low-Density zone (utilizing 2020 City Wide Land Value appraisal report), while the Phase 2 dedication of 3.36 acres will be reimbursed at the low value range of $100,000 per acre for Residential Low-Density zone (utilizing 2021 City Wide Land Value appraisal report). · River Island Ranch Phase 1 - 2.18 Ac - Total reimbursement: $178,031.88 Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 2

File #: 23-0001 Agenda Date: 1/17/2023 Agenda #: 4.
· River Island Ranch Phase 2 - 3.36 Ac - total reimbursement: $336,000.00 At the time the projects were submitted for map recording, the developer was assessed and paid a total of $148,846.00 in Waterway Acquisition impact fees.

The reimbursement for riparian waterway dedications for the River Island Ranch Phase 1 and Phase 2 subdivisions was reviewed and recommended for approval by the DRRC at a meeting held on September 28th, 2022. The DRRC is comprised of staff from the Community Development, Public Works and Finance Departments. The DRRC reviewed the reimbursement to ensure that the costs are reasonable compared to the City’scosts for comparable land dedications focused on Visalia’s real estate market.

Fiscal Impact:

Pending additional review of fund balance and following a Notice of Completion for the River Island Ranch Phase 1 subdivision, a cash reimbursement of $178,031.88 from the Waterways Fund (251) will be made to the developer, Lennar Homes of California Inc.

Pending additional review of fund balance at the time a Notice of Completion for River Island Phase 2 is obtained in the future, a cash payment of $336,000 from the Waterways Fund (251) will be made to Lennar Homes of California Inc.

Total reimbursement amount of $514,031.88.

Prior Council Action:

The City Council approved the final map for River Island Ranch Phase 1 and Phase 2 on December 3, 2019 and December 20, 2021 respectively.

Visalia, CA 93291
File #: 23-0004 Agenda Date: 1/17/2023 Agenda #: 5.

Agenda Item Wording:

Accept the City of Visalia Cash and Investment Report for the first quarter of the fiscal year which consists of months July, August, and September 2022.

Deadline for Action: 1/17/2023
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Jason Montgomery, 4425
Department Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council accept the City of Visalia Cash and Investment Report for the first quarter of the fiscal year which consists of months July, August, and September 2022.

Background Discussion:

The City accumulates significant cash assets before they are spent on a variety of governmental operations. For example, several large capital projects have accumulated substantial cash as they approach the start of the projects in the near future, or in some cases, have already begun. Some of these larger projects that have already begun are the downtown street light project, cape seal of various streets and the major rehab of Caldwell Avenue from Akers to Shady and Santa Fe to Lovers Lane. Some examples of large projects that cash has been accumulated for that have not started including the Civic Center Phase 2 project, and any potential mandated upgrades to the Water Reclamation Facility.

The quarterly investment report is intended to inform the City Council and community about the status of City investments and holds staff accountable for the investment and management of these funds.

City Investment Policy
The City’sinvestments are diversified by the various maturities and credit types which are allowed under the City’sInvestment Policy and California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. It is the policy of the City to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the greatest security with the maximum investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of public funds.

The City continues to be conservative and prudent with the investment objectives, which in order of priority is safety, liquidity, and yield, while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. These investments will enable the City to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months, as required by state law.

Economic Outlook
At September 30, 2022, the national unemployment rate was at 3.5%. The Consumer Price Index was at 8.20%, a slight decrease from the June 2022 rate of 9.06%. More currently, at its December 14, 2022 meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the Federal Funds Rate (the rate at which institutions borrow and lend overnight funds to each other) by 50 basis points to the current range of 4.25% to 4.50%, its highest level in 15 years, indicating that their fight against inflation is not over.

Movements of the Federal Funds Rate are closely linked to Treasury Security rates; as the Federal Funds Rate increases, typically so do Treasury Security rates. Treasury Securities are investments that the City can purchase and are key benchmarks for other financial assets that the City can purchase (i.e.: Federal Agency’s). Table I shows the rate comparison of the Federal Funds Rate and short term Treasury Securities between the fourth quarter of last fiscal year and first quarter of the current fiscal year as well as the current rates. Rates have continued to increase across shorter-term maturities, however, have started to decrease in the longer maturity ranges as fears of a recession mount. The City has continued to remain laddered across all maturities.

The City invests in different maturity dates to take advantage of different earnings rates (usually the longer the maturity, the higher the earning rate) as well as spread out maturities so that the proceeds are reinvested at regular intervals. In addition, the City will keep funds needed for operating costs in short term maturities, while investing funds in longer term maturities for those funds that are not yet needed (future projects). Chart II - Maturity distribution shows what percent each maturity level is of the total investment portfolio.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) and appoint Karen Ayala to the Committee to complete the remaining term of former Committee member Marilynn Mitchell, beginning January 11, 2023, and ending June 30, 2023.

Karen Ayala is an elementary school physical education teacher with the Porterville Unified School District and has worked in the teaching profession for eight years. Karen Ayala obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from California State University Fresno and received a teaching credential from Fresno Pacific University. Karen Ayala is active as a member of Visalia Heritage, a local historical group, and volunteers her time with Valley Oak SPCA. Karen Ayala is also fluent in Spanish and resides in a residence located within the Historic District. Per their Committee application (included in Attachment No. 1) Karen Ayala is committed to using her public service experience to foster a better relationship with the community.

The HPAC is a seven-member committee which administers the Historic Preservation Ordinance and encourages property owners and occupants to maintain the historic character of their properties and structures. The Committee meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.

The HPAC currently operates with six active members and has one vacancy due to the resignation of Marilynn Mitchell on September 22, 2022. Marilynn Mitchell resigned due to scheduling conflicts with other committees on which she serves, and had nine months remaining on her second term, set to expire on June 30, 2023. The request before the City Council is to appoint Karen Ayala to complete the remaining six months of Marilynn Mitchell’sterm. Consideration to reappoint Karen Ayala to serve a full two year term will be brought back to the Council in June 2023.

Per the Historic Preservation Ordinance, the Committee can seat up to seven active members. If the nomination is approved, it would provide the HPAC with a fully seated committee. The HPAC has Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 2

4 THE COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION’S ROLE,

AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The role of city committees and commissions is to advise the City Council in the determination of city policies and procedures. Committees/commissions facilitate public participation.

City committees and commissions are not involved in the administration or operation of city departments.

Committee/commission members may not direct administrative staff to initiate programs.

Committees/commissions may not conduct major studies or establish official policy without the approval of the City Council. City staff members are available to provide general staff assistance to committees/commissions.

Despite committees/commissions differing tasks, all share some basic responsibilities. Members need to stay informed on subjects of interest to the specific committee or commission.

Appointment to a commission or committee is an honor. It provides an opportunity for genuine public service. Each commission or committee member should be aware of the responsibilities that go along with officially serving the community. The specific duties of each commission or committee vary with the purposes for which it was formed. There are, however, many responsibilities common to all members.

1. Understand the role and responsibility of the commission or committee on which you serve. Be informed of its functions, work programs and relationship with other commissions/committees.

2. Represent the overall public good, not the exclusive point of view of a single group or interest.

3. Keep all lines of communication open. Each member serves as a communication link between the community, the City Council and the staff.

4. Do your homework and be prepared. Commission and committee members should become familiar with items under consideration prior to meetings in order to be fully prepared to discuss, evaluate, and act on matters scheduled for consideration. Feel free to seek staff’s advice and assistance in advance of a meeting.

5. Establish a good working relationship with fellow members, the Council, and your staff representative.

6. Understand the scope and authority of your responsibility and strive to work within that scope.

7. Be a participant, an active representative and be enthusiastic.

8. Commission/committee members should not approve projects that violate adopted City policies.

These bodies make recommendations to the Council about exceptions to or recommendations to change existing policies when appropriate.

127
5 COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION GUIDELINES

Formation of a new Committee or Commission by the City Council

Unless otherwise stated by Council, a committee or commission shall be formed initially for a period of one year with time extended at the request of the committee/commission and concurrence of the Council.

After a one-year evaluation and if the committee/commission is to continue, the length of terms will be increased, and the expiration of terms will be staggered.

A newly formed committee or commission will be convened by the city staff representative, and each committee/commission will elect a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and a secretary once the members feel sufficiently acquainted with each other.

A staff representative will be assigned by the City Manager to work with each committee/commission to prepare agendas, keep minutes and furnish assistance.

The size of commissions and committees may vary from 5 to 15 members and is set for each body by the City Council. A committee or commission may decide that it is in the best interest of the committee/commission to modify the number of its members and may recommend a change to the Citizens Advisory Committee. After the Citizens Advisory Committee receives a recommendation from the committee/commission along with reason(s), a recommendation to modify the number of members will be made to the City Council.

Each Committee or Commission should have a mission statement. Ex: “It is the mission of the Citizens Advisory Committee to act as a liaison between the general public and the City Council concerning community issues.”

Commissions are provided for in the City of Visalia’s Charter and the duties of the Commissions are contained in the City’s Municipal Code. The formation of a new Commission requires a Charter Amendment. Revision to Commission duties and responsibilities require an Ordinance change.

Appointment of Citizens to Committees/Commissions
All appointments and reappointments require formal action of the Council. Every committee/commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council.

Names to be considered for appointment will be recommended to the Council by the respective committee or commission. The Council may choose, however, to fill some positions in other manners as needed.

Persons in the community wanting to serve on an advisory committee/commission should submit their name and resume to the City Clerk’s Office (a standard application form is available and included in this handbook). The City Clerk will annually publish a notice of the process and procedure to be followed by individuals wanting to serve the City.

128
6 Applications will be kept on file for a period of two years. Applicants will be contacted one year after they file their application to ensure their continued interest in serving on a City committee or commission.

Eligibility

City advisory committees/commissions will reflect, to the extent possible, the community's geographic, ethnic, gender and age composition.

Appointees to committees/commissions should be 18 years of age or older, and live or work within the urban area of Visalia as defined by Visalia Unified School District’s boundary map. First consideration will be given to residents of the City of Visalia. Individuals under the age of 18 who indicate they are interested in participating are encouraged to attend meetings and participate as a member of the public.

Additional requirements may be applicable to a specific Committee or Commission.

No person should serve on more than one committee or commission at one time as a regular member.

However, individuals with unique qualifications may be asked to serve on an additional committee/commission by the City Council.

Immediate family members may not concurrently serve on the same committee or commission; however, family members are encouraged to serve on different committees/commissions.

Employees of the City of Visalia may not serve on any committee/commission other than as a staff representative. Employees of companies who do business with the City of Visalia are encouraged to serve on committees/commissions other than those where the actions of the committee/commission may directly benefit the work of the member’s employer.

In accordance with Government Code Section 87200, planning commissioners are mandated to file Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests upon assuming office, annually, and upon leaving office.

Government Code Section 53235 (AB 1234) requires that planning commissioners complete required ethics training within one year of assuming office and every two years thereafter.

Term Limits and Replacement Process
Term length for all members of Committees/Commissions is standardized to two-year terms. All terms begin on July 1st and end on June 30th.

Each committee member may serve three (3) two-year terms (for a total of six years). After serving for six years on a committee, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same committee.

This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different committee or commission.

Each commissioner (Planning and Parks and Recreation Commissions) may serve four (4) two-year terms (for a total of eight years). After serving for eight years on a commission, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same commission. This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different commission or committee.

129
7 Because member turnover may periodically cause some difficulty in obtaining a quorum, a member’s term may be temporarily extended for an additional six months by the committee.

Appropriate recognition will be made of services when a term is completed, and a member leaves a committee or commission. This recognition will be made by the committee/commission with the help of the staff representative.

Scheduled Vacancies: To comply with the Maddy Act, on or before December 31st of each year, the City Clerk’s Office publishes the Local Appointment List informing the public of all scheduled vacancies for the upcoming year. The list is posted on the City’s website, at all City Hall posting boards, and at the public library.

Resignations: Members resigning from a committee or commission should submit a letter of resignation to the Mayor, City Clerk and the secretary of their committee or commission.

Reappointments: When a member is eligible for another term, the committee/commission will present a recommendation to the City Council asking for reappointment of the member. Reappointments are not automatic; the City Council makes the final determination on all appointments and reappointments.

Unscheduled Vacancies: The public will be informed regarding all unscheduled vacancies within 20 days after the vacancy occurs and at least 10 days before the vacancy is filled. Postings of unscheduled vacancies will be made by the City Clerk’s office by posting the vacancy on the City’s website, on the City Hall posting boards, the public library, through a press release, and an announcement included in the Inside City Hall newsletter.

Attendance

Advisory body members are expected to attend meetings regularly. Conscientious attendance is a fundamental responsibility, as irregular attendance lessens one’s ability to study all aspects of items under consideration. It is important to notify staff of any absences for the purposes of determining a quorum.

Members are required to notify the staff liaison no later than 24 hours prior to any regular meeting of his/her intent not to attend said meeting.

Excessive absenteeism, which is defined to mean missing three consecutive regular meetings or four regular meetings in a 12-month period, shall constitute resignation of the member and the member shall be considered removed from the advisory body. In the event a meeting is cancelled because of a lack of quorum, the member(s) whose lack of attendance caused the cancellation will be counted, even though no meeting occurred.

Tardiness and early departure of more than 30 minutes in a meeting is considered an absence.

A Council sub-committee, comprised of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, may grant an exemption to the attendance policy or approve an extended leave of absence for members of City Committees/Commissions, based on individual circumstances.

The attendance policy becomes effective April 1, 2012, and April 2012 begins the first month in the 12- 130
8 month attendance counting period.

Compensation

The members of the Planning Commission receive a $100 monthly stipend and paid conferences and training. Planning Commissioners do not receive city health benefits.

All other committee and commission members receive no compensation, stipend or benefits of any kind.

Actual and necessary expenditures incurred by members, while engaged in official commission or committee business, may be reimbursed to said members, provided such expenditures have been previously approved by the department head responsible for staffing the commission or committee.

Planning Commissioners and Parks and Recreation Commissioners will be provided business cards at the city’s expense at the request of the member. This is not available to committee members.

Removal

Commissioners and Committee members may be removed from office, upon the recommendation of any member of the City Council, and with the concurrence of a majority of the City Council, for breach of duty, for conduct unbecoming a public official of the city, for violation of the city’s code of ethics, or for any cause deemed warranted by a majority of the City Council.

Meeting Notices

Effective January 1, 2012, each Committee/Commission will provide notice of each meeting, including special meetings, on the City’s web site. Committee/commission members, media representatives and any other interested persons who so requests will be notified in advance of time and place of each meeting. Meetings are open to the public and must follow the posting guidelines of the Brown Act.

The City Council is to receive all notices of meetings, agendas and minutes.

These guidelines may be waived or changed at the discretion of the Council. The Council has the discretion to make appointments outside of this stated policy. Statutory committees and commissions are separate from these guidelines to the degree required by State Law, City Charter or Ordinance Code. 131
9 ORGANIZATION

Regular Meetings

Regular meetings are held for most of the city’s committees and commissions. An exception would be committees that meet as needed or “on-call” or committees that convene on an occasional basis.

Agendas of all regular meetings must be posted for public review at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.

The official posting place of agendas is at City Hall West (707 W. Acequia), and the city’s web page www.visalia.city . Notices may also be posted at City Hall East (315 E. Acequia) or Administration (220 N.

Santa Fe)
Adjourned Regular Meetings

If for any reason the business to be considered at the regular meeting cannot be completed, the committee or commission may then adjourn to a specified time and location. A notice announcing the adjournment must be posted within twenty-four hours after the time of adjournment.

Special Meetings

If it is necessary to meet at a time or date that is not the regular meeting schedule, a Special Meeting may be called by the advisory body. A Special Meeting may also be called in order to discuss an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Notice of special meetings must be received by members and posted at City Hall and on the City’s web page at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Only the business set forth in the agenda may be considered at the meeting.

Agenda

At least 72 hours before a regular meeting, an agenda shall be publicly posted which specifies the time and location of the meeting and contains a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting.

Minutes

Minutes of all meetings must be kept as a permanent record by the committee/commission’s staff representative. The minutes should be taken and prepared by the committee/commission’s secretary with the assistance of the staff representative. Written minutes, upon approval by the committee or commission, constitute the official record of its activities. Additions and correction of the minutes may be made only in public meetings, with the approval of the body, and not by the private request of individual members. Minutes are not verbatim but are instead, action minutes, which record the essence of the decision made and significant action taken.

132
10 Annual Reports

Each Committee and Commission shall submit an annual report to the City Council. The annual report should include the number of meetings held, approximate number of citizens attending, accomplishments for the year, goals for the next year, and any other significant areas of which the Council should be aware.

Parliamentary Procedure

In order for a commission/committee to meet, conduct business and take action, a quorum must be present. A quorum is generally defined as a majority (one more than half) of appointed members to the particular advisory body. Meetings of commission/committees are generally operated according to parliamentary procedure using Roberts Rules of Order as a guideline. Each body may establish additional rules, limit debate and eject unruly persons if necessary.

The use of Parliamentary Procedure…

➢ Promotes cooperation and harmony so that people can work together more effectively to accomplish their goals.
➢ Guarantees each individual an equal right to propose motions, speak, ask questions and vote. ➢ Protects the rights of minority points of view and gives the minority the same consideration and respect as those in the majority.
➢ Encourages the full and free discussion of every motion presented. ➢ Ensures that the meeting is fair and conducted in good faith.

Commission/committee action is taken by motion. Motions go through the following general steps:

1. The member making the motion asks to be recognized by the chair;

2. The member makes the motion… “I move…”;

3. Another member seconds the motion (if there is no second, the motion dies and is not voted upon);

4. The chairperson states the motion or if he is not clear asks the member making the motion to re-state the motion;

5. The chairperson asks if there is any discussion on the motion;

6. When the chairperson determines that there is no more discussion on the motion, the debate is closed;

7. The chairperson puts the motion to a vote.

The vote on a motion may take the form of “all in favor” so state, “all opposed” so state, which is called a commission/committee vote. If members prefer, the vote may take the form of a voice or roll call vote.

The Brown Act prohibits voting or taking action by secret ballot.

Appointment of Officers

Annually, each Committee/Commission shall elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Secretary from their members. Commissions may have a staff person appointed as secretary.

133
11 Role of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson

During meetings, the chairperson is responsible for overseeing the public debate in a manner that encourages input while facilitating the decision-making process.

The chairperson should limit the discussion and debate to the particular scope of responsibility of the group and should ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to speak. The chairperson should expedite the business of the commission/committee by making sure that the discussion does not go off- track or bog down on peripheral issues.

In the event that the chairperson is not present at the meeting, the meeting will be chaired by the vice- chairperson and all duties of the chairperson will transfer to the vice-chair during the chairperson’s absence.

Role of the Secretary

The secretary is responsible for recording the actions at the meeting and keeping the attendance record of the advisory body. A staff person may assist with this duty, if needed. The secretary should prepare the action minutes as soon after the meeting as possible and review them with the staff person prior to submitting to the committee for approval. The staff person is the “keeper” of the committee’s agendas, action minutes and attendance records.

Role of the Members

The committee/commission members serve as the “workers” by providing ideas, suggestions, and perspectives that may not have been considered by the City Council, chairperson and staff.

Role of the Alternate
Alternates are not regular members of the committee or commission, and while encouraged to attend, they are not voting members and should not be accorded the same rights and privileges as voting members.

Role of the Staff Representative

The City Manager appoints staff representatives to serve each of the committees and commissions. The staff representative provides information, support services and facilitates communication between the committee, the City Council and city management.

The duties of the staff representative shall include:

1. Reserve and prepare a meeting location that is available to the general public and accessible to the handicapped throughout the entire meeting.

134
12 2. Secure the location when the meeting is completed.

3. Assure that the committee/commission maintains the established meeting schedule.

4. Monitor the committee/commission membership and assist members in filling open positions, notifying the City Clerk’s Office promptly when an unscheduled vacancy occurs and when an alternate is promoted to regular member status.

5. Act as a resource for questions or inquiries generated by members of the committee or commission.

6. Act as liaison between the committee/commission and the City of Visalia.

7. Make proper meeting notifications, in accordance with the Brown Act, and make certain that all meetings are conducted in accordance with all laws.

8. Make certain that all documents related to the committee/commission are current and reflect the present operational status of the committee or commission.

9. Assist the Secretary in preparation of the action minutes; the staff person is the official “keeper” of the agendas, back-up materials, and action minutes

10. Oversee preparation and presentation of the required year-end summary to the City Council.

11. Perform other duties as assigned by the City Manager, Department Head or City Council.

12. Maintain a list of terms of the committee/commission members. 135
13 GUIDELINES FOR RELATIONS WITH OTHERS

Relations with Fellow Commission/Committee Members

Cooperation among fellow commission/committee members plays an important role in the successful efforts of these groups. In order to build consensus around common goals and objectives, members should first show a willingness to objectively define the issues at hand and then work to reconcile opposing viewpoints. When commissioners/committee members interact positively, the group as a whole will be more effective. Important points to keep in mind in working with other commission/committee members:

1. Respect an individual’s viewpoint even though it may be different from your own;

2. Allow other members adequate time to present their view before making comments;

3. Be open and honest;

4. Welcome new commission/committee members and help them become acquainted with the commission/committee.

5. Accept responsibility, voice opinions and be fair and factual.

Relations with Council

The primary responsibility of commissions/committees is to advise and make recommendations to the Council. It is the Council’s role to absorb the advice and recommendations offered by numerous sources and to make decisions to the best of its ability. Because the Council is in such a position to see the broader context and is aware of other concerns, it may not always follow the recommendation offered by individual commissions/committees.

Relations with Staff

The staff representative’s role is valuable to the success of the commission/committee. They do research and provide relevant information that enhances a commission/committee’s ability to get things done. Staff is available to answer questions and follow-up on items brought before the commission/committee.

However, members should be aware that the staff representatives are there as liaisons, assisting the members of the commission/committee by gathering information when needed or requested, submitting recommendations of the commission/committee to the Council, etc. Staff representatives must sustain a balance between their role as a liaison and as a city employee. Commission/committee members must be sensitive to the unique and vital relationships that staff representatives must maintain.

Relations with Media and Public Statements
Commissioners and Committee members should not make public statements as a spokesperson for the City of Visalia or of their particular committee/commission. Any statement made reflects the opinion of that particular member only. Any inquiries regarding city committees or commission matters should be referred to the staff representative and/or the Community Relations Manager. 136

Agenda Item Wording:

Authorize the City Manager to execute an Automotive and Truck Replacement Parts, Accessories and Services contract with Genuine Parts Co. dba NAPA Auto to supply aftermarket parts and accessories for the Fleet Division of Public Works. The contract will be Not-To-Exceed $500,000 per year with the costs split monthly through allocations to the appropriate City divisions. The contract will be for one year with an option to annually renew for up to two consecutive years to coincide with the Sourcewell contract termination date of May 19, 2025, for a maximum of 3 years.

Mike Morgantini, Public Works - Fleet Supervisor, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> - 713-4182
Nick Bartsch, Public Works Director, [email protected], 713-4052 Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Automotive and Truck Replacement Parts, Accessories and Services contract with Genuine Parts Co. dba NAPA Auto to supply aftermarket parts and accessories for the Fleet Division of Public Works. The contract will be Not-To-Exceed $500,000 per year with the costs split monthly through allocations to the appropriate City divisions. The contract will “piggyback” on the competitively bid Sourcewell contract with NAPA Auto Parts. The contract will be for one year with an option to annually renew for up to two consecutive years to coincide with the Sourcewell contract termination date of May 19, 2025, for a maximum of 3 years.

Background Discussion:

Aftermarket parts and accessories are currently sourced by the Fleet Division through the old Napa Auto Parts (N.J.P.A. Sourcewell) contract #062916-GPC. This new contract will "piggyback" on Sourcewell’s new contract #032521-GPC with Napa Auto Parts.

The City’s Purchasing policy requires that for purchases over $25,000 annually, a vendor contract must be established through a competitive bidding process. Due to the large number of aftermarket parts and accessories used for the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment, bidding this contract can be very complex.

Public Works staff has determined that the Sourcewell (formerly N.J.P.A. Alliance) contract with Napa Auto Parts fulfills the Fleet Division’s needs. Sourcewell’s contract was awarded through a competitive bid process and is available for local governments to “piggyback” on, which is allowed under the City’s Purchasing Policy.

Council approved the first contract from 08/07/2017 through 08/06/2021 with a Not-to-Exceed amount of $100,000. During the second year of this contract, with the consolidation of auto aftermarket suppliers complete, it was determined that the Not-to-Exceed amount needed to be raised to $200,000. This increase Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 2

was brought back to council and approved on 04/01/2019. The cost of parts over the last 4 years have significantly increased with costs reaching $400,530 in Fiscal Year 2021-22. This new contract will have a Not- to-Exceed amount of $500,000. The additional $300,000 is due to the overall price increases contributed to COVID-19, rising inflation costs, as well as the added consolidation of aftermarket truck parts included in this contract.

The Fleet Division has been able to use the services of the local Napa Auto Parts retailer with the benefit of the Sourcewell pricing. Using the local Napa Auto Parts retailer allows for local pickup/delivery of parts and should eliminate the need for much of the shipping costs. Sourcewell provides the lowest possible price because of the volume of sales it creates for the vendor on a national level. The average price savings provided by the Napa Auto Parts contract is 50% off list pricing.

Fiscal Impact:

Fleet Division expenditures from Genuine Parts Co. (NAPA Auto) have continuously increased over the years with costs in FY20 at $374,000 to FY22 costs at $400,530. As of December 2022, expenditures have reached $237,547. At this rate, the Fleet Division is anticipating an estimated $475,000 for the current Fiscal Year 2022 -23. Increasing the NTE amount to $500,000 will allow the Fleet Division to work fluidly throughout the contracts term as we continue to witness rising inflation costs.

Alternatives:

To perform our own competitive bidding process through the City Purchasing Department Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

Authorize the City Manager to execute an Automotive and Truck Replacement Parts, Accessories and Services contract with Genuine Parts Co. dba NAPA Auto to supply aftermarket parts and accessories for the Fleet Division of Public Works. The contract will be Not-To-Exceed $500,000 per year with the costs split monthly through allocations to the appropriate City divisions. The contract will be for one year with an option to annually renew for up to two consecutive years to coincide with the Sourcewell contract termination date of May 19, 2025, for a maximum of 3 years.

A great deal of personal satisfaction can be received through public service, and the knowledge and experience gained will be invaluable to you.

If you are interested in serving on a committee or commission, please fill out the application included in this booklet. Feel free to include a resume or other information you feel would help the City Council to decide which committee or commission could best use your expertise.

4 THE COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION’S ROLE,

AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The role of city committees and commissions is to advise the City Council in the determination of city policies and procedures. Committees/commissions facilitate public participation.

City committees and commissions are not involved in the administration or operation of city departments.

Committee/commission members may not direct administrative staff to initiate programs.

Committees/commissions may not conduct major studies or establish official policy without the approval of the City Council. City staff members are available to provide general staff assistance to committees/commissions.

Despite committees/commissions differing tasks, all share some basic responsibilities. Members need to stay informed on subjects of interest to the specific committee or commission.

Appointment to a commission or committee is an honor. It provides an opportunity for genuine public service. Each commission or committee member should be aware of the responsibilities that go along with officially serving the community. The specific duties of each commission or committee vary with the purposes for which it was formed. There are, however, many responsibilities common to all members.

1. Understand the role and responsibility of the commission or committee on which you serve. Be informed of its functions, work programs and relationship with other commissions/committees.

2. Represent the overall public good, not the exclusive point of view of a single group or interest.

3. Keep all lines of communication open. Each member serves as a communication link between the community, the City Council and the staff.

4. Do your homework and be prepared. Commission and committee members should become familiar with items under consideration prior to meetings in order to be fully prepared to discuss, evaluate, and act on matters scheduled for consideration. Feel free to seek staff’s advice and assistance in advance of a meeting.

5. Establish a good working relationship with fellow members, the Council, and your staff representative.

6. Understand the scope and authority of your responsibility and strive to work within that scope.

7. Be a participant, an active representative and be enthusiastic.

8. Commission/committee members should not approve projects that violate adopted City policies.

These bodies make recommendations to the Council about exceptions to or recommendations to change existing policies when appropriate.

234
5 COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION GUIDELINES

Formation of a new Committee or Commission by the City Council

Unless otherwise stated by Council, a committee or commission shall be formed initially for a period of one year with time extended at the request of the committee/commission and concurrence of the Council.

After a one-year evaluation and if the committee/commission is to continue, the length of terms will be increased, and the expiration of terms will be staggered.

A newly formed committee or commission will be convened by the city staff representative, and each committee/commission will elect a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and a secretary once the members feel sufficiently acquainted with each other.

A staff representative will be assigned by the City Manager to work with each committee/commission to prepare agendas, keep minutes and furnish assistance.

The size of commissions and committees may vary from 5 to 15 members and is set for each body by the City Council. A committee or commission may decide that it is in the best interest of the committee/commission to modify the number of its members and may recommend a change to the Citizens Advisory Committee. After the Citizens Advisory Committee receives a recommendation from the committee/commission along with reason(s), a recommendation to modify the number of members will be made to the City Council.

Each Committee or Commission should have a mission statement. Ex: “It is the mission of the Citizens Advisory Committee to act as a liaison between the general public and the City Council concerning community issues.”

Commissions are provided for in the City of Visalia’s Charter and the duties of the Commissions are contained in the City’s Municipal Code. The formation of a new Commission requires a Charter Amendment. Revision to Commission duties and responsibilities require an Ordinance change.

Appointment of Citizens to Committees/Commissions
All appointments and reappointments require formal action of the Council. Every committee/commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council.

Names to be considered for appointment will be recommended to the Council by the respective committee or commission. The Council may choose, however, to fill some positions in other manners as needed.

Persons in the community wanting to serve on an advisory committee/commission should submit their name and resume to the City Clerk’s Office (a standard application form is available and included in this handbook). The City Clerk will annually publish a notice of the process and procedure to be followed by individuals wanting to serve the City.

235
6 Applications will be kept on file for a period of two years. Applicants will be contacted one year after they file their application to ensure their continued interest in serving on a City committee or commission.

Eligibility

City advisory committees/commissions will reflect, to the extent possible, the community's geographic, ethnic, gender and age composition.

Appointees to committees/commissions should be 18 years of age or older, and live or work within the urban area of Visalia as defined by Visalia Unified School District’s boundary map. First consideration will be given to residents of the City of Visalia. Individuals under the age of 18 who indicate they are interested in participating are encouraged to attend meetings and participate as a member of the public.

Additional requirements may be applicable to a specific Committee or Commission.

No person should serve on more than one committee or commission at one time as a regular member.

However, individuals with unique qualifications may be asked to serve on an additional committee/commission by the City Council.

Immediate family members may not concurrently serve on the same committee or commission; however, family members are encouraged to serve on different committees/commissions.

Employees of the City of Visalia may not serve on any committee/commission other than as a staff representative. Employees of companies who do business with the City of Visalia are encouraged to serve on committees/commissions other than those where the actions of the committee/commission may directly benefit the work of the member’s employer.

In accordance with Government Code Section 87200, planning commissioners are mandated to file Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests upon assuming office, annually, and upon leaving office.

Government Code Section 53235 (AB 1234) requires that planning commissioners complete required ethics training within one year of assuming office and every two years thereafter.

Term Limits and Replacement Process
Term length for all members of Committees/Commissions is standardized to two-year terms. All terms begin on July 1st and end on June 30th.

Each committee member may serve three (3) two-year terms (for a total of six years). After serving for six years on a committee, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same committee.

This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different committee or commission.

Each commissioner (Planning and Parks and Recreation Commissions) may serve four (4) two-year terms (for a total of eight years). After serving for eight years on a commission, a person must remain off for one year before reapplying to that same commission. This does not prohibit the person from immediately applying to a different commission or committee.

236
7 Because member turnover may periodically cause some difficulty in obtaining a quorum, a member’s term may be temporarily extended for an additional six months by the committee.

Appropriate recognition will be made of services when a term is completed, and a member leaves a committee or commission. This recognition will be made by the committee/commission with the help of the staff representative.

Scheduled Vacancies: To comply with the Maddy Act, on or before December 31st of each year, the City Clerk’s Office publishes the Local Appointment List informing the public of all scheduled vacancies for the upcoming year. The list is posted on the City’s website, at all City Hall posting boards, and at the public library.

Resignations: Members resigning from a committee or commission should submit a letter of resignation to the Mayor, City Clerk and the secretary of their committee or commission.

Reappointments: When a member is eligible for another term, the committee/commission will present a recommendation to the City Council asking for reappointment of the member. Reappointments are not automatic; the City Council makes the final determination on all appointments and reappointments.

Unscheduled Vacancies: The public will be informed regarding all unscheduled vacancies within 20 days after the vacancy occurs and at least 10 days before the vacancy is filled. Postings of unscheduled vacancies will be made by the City Clerk’s office by posting the vacancy on the City’s website, on the City Hall posting boards, the public library, through a press release, and an announcement included in the Inside City Hall newsletter.

Attendance

Advisory body members are expected to attend meetings regularly. Conscientious attendance is a fundamental responsibility, as irregular attendance lessens one’s ability to study all aspects of items under consideration. It is important to notify staff of any absences for the purposes of determining a quorum.

Members are required to notify the staff liaison no later than 24 hours prior to any regular meeting of his/her intent not to attend said meeting.

Excessive absenteeism, which is defined to mean missing three consecutive regular meetings or four regular meetings in a 12-month period, shall constitute resignation of the member and the member shall be considered removed from the advisory body. In the event a meeting is cancelled because of a lack of quorum, the member(s) whose lack of attendance caused the cancellation will be counted, even though no meeting occurred.

Tardiness and early departure of more than 30 minutes in a meeting is considered an absence.

A Council sub-committee, comprised of the Mayor and Vice Mayor, may grant an exemption to the attendance policy or approve an extended leave of absence for members of City Committees/Commissions, based on individual circumstances.

The attendance policy becomes effective April 1, 2012, and April 2012 begins the first month in the 12- 237
8 month attendance counting period.

Compensation

The members of the Planning Commission receive a $100 monthly stipend and paid conferences and training. Planning Commissioners do not receive city health benefits.

All other committee and commission members receive no compensation, stipend or benefits of any kind.

Actual and necessary expenditures incurred by members, while engaged in official commission or committee business, may be reimbursed to said members, provided such expenditures have been previously approved by the department head responsible for staffing the commission or committee.

Planning Commissioners and Parks and Recreation Commissioners will be provided business cards at the city’s expense at the request of the member. This is not available to committee members.

Removal

Commissioners and Committee members may be removed from office, upon the recommendation of any member of the City Council, and with the concurrence of a majority of the City Council, for breach of duty, for conduct unbecoming a public official of the city, for violation of the city’s code of ethics, or for any cause deemed warranted by a majority of the City Council.

Meeting Notices

Effective January 1, 2012, each Committee/Commission will provide notice of each meeting, including special meetings, on the City’s web site. Committee/commission members, media representatives and any other interested persons who so requests will be notified in advance of time and place of each meeting. Meetings are open to the public and must follow the posting guidelines of the Brown Act.

The City Council is to receive all notices of meetings, agendas and minutes.

These guidelines may be waived or changed at the discretion of the Council. The Council has the discretion to make appointments outside of this stated policy. Statutory committees and commissions are separate from these guidelines to the degree required by State Law, City Charter or Ordinance Code. 238
9 ORGANIZATION

Regular Meetings

Regular meetings are held for most of the city’s committees and commissions. An exception would be committees that meet as needed or “on-call” or committees that convene on an occasional basis.

Agendas of all regular meetings must be posted for public review at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.

The official posting place of agendas is at City Hall West (707 W. Acequia), and the city’s web page www.visalia.city . Notices may also be posted at City Hall East (315 E. Acequia) or Administration (220 N.

Santa Fe)
Adjourned Regular Meetings

If for any reason the business to be considered at the regular meeting cannot be completed, the committee or commission may then adjourn to a specified time and location. A notice announcing the adjournment must be posted within twenty-four hours after the time of adjournment.

Special Meetings

If it is necessary to meet at a time or date that is not the regular meeting schedule, a Special Meeting may be called by the advisory body. A Special Meeting may also be called in order to discuss an important issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Notice of special meetings must be received by members and posted at City Hall and on the City’s web page at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. Only the business set forth in the agenda may be considered at the meeting.

Agenda

At least 72 hours before a regular meeting, an agenda shall be publicly posted which specifies the time and location of the meeting and contains a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting.

Minutes

Minutes of all meetings must be kept as a permanent record by the committee/commission’s staff representative. The minutes should be taken and prepared by the committee/commission’s secretary with the assistance of the staff representative. Written minutes, upon approval by the committee or commission, constitute the official record of its activities. Additions and correction of the minutes may be made only in public meetings, with the approval of the body, and not by the private request of individual members. Minutes are not verbatim but are instead, action minutes, which record the essence of the decision made and significant action taken.

239
10 Annual Reports

Each Committee and Commission shall submit an annual report to the City Council. The annual report should include the number of meetings held, approximate number of citizens attending, accomplishments for the year, goals for the next year, and any other significant areas of which the Council should be aware.

Parliamentary Procedure

In order for a commission/committee to meet, conduct business and take action, a quorum must be present. A quorum is generally defined as a majority (one more than half) of appointed members to the particular advisory body. Meetings of commission/committees are generally operated according to parliamentary procedure using Roberts Rules of Order as a guideline. Each body may establish additional rules, limit debate and eject unruly persons if necessary.

The use of Parliamentary Procedure…

➢ Promotes cooperation and harmony so that people can work together more effectively to accomplish their goals.
➢ Guarantees each individual an equal right to propose motions, speak, ask questions and vote. ➢ Protects the rights of minority points of view and gives the minority the same consideration and respect as those in the majority.
➢ Encourages the full and free discussion of every motion presented. ➢ Ensures that the meeting is fair and conducted in good faith.

Commission/committee action is taken by motion. Motions go through the following general steps:

1. The member making the motion asks to be recognized by the chair;

2. The member makes the motion… “I move…”;

3. Another member seconds the motion (if there is no second, the motion dies and is not voted upon);

4. The chairperson states the motion or if he is not clear asks the member making the motion to re-state the motion;

5. The chairperson asks if there is any discussion on the motion;

6. When the chairperson determines that there is no more discussion on the motion, the debate is closed;

7. The chairperson puts the motion to a vote.

The vote on a motion may take the form of “all in favor” so state, “all opposed” so state, which is called a commission/committee vote. If members prefer, the vote may take the form of a voice or roll call vote.

The Brown Act prohibits voting or taking action by secret ballot.

Appointment of Officers

Annually, each Committee/Commission shall elect a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, and Secretary from their members. Commissions may have a staff person appointed as secretary.

240
11 Role of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson

During meetings, the chairperson is responsible for overseeing the public debate in a manner that encourages input while facilitating the decision-making process.

The chairperson should limit the discussion and debate to the particular scope of responsibility of the group and should ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to speak. The chairperson should expedite the business of the commission/committee by making sure that the discussion does not go off- track or bog down on peripheral issues.

In the event that the chairperson is not present at the meeting, the meeting will be chaired by the vice- chairperson and all duties of the chairperson will transfer to the vice-chair during the chairperson’s absence.

Role of the Secretary

The secretary is responsible for recording the actions at the meeting and keeping the attendance record of the advisory body. A staff person may assist with this duty, if needed. The secretary should prepare the action minutes as soon after the meeting as possible and review them with the staff person prior to submitting to the committee for approval. The staff person is the “keeper” of the committee’s agendas, action minutes and attendance records.

Role of the Members

The committee/commission members serve as the “workers” by providing ideas, suggestions, and perspectives that may not have been considered by the City Council, chairperson and staff.

Role of the Alternate
Alternates are not regular members of the committee or commission, and while encouraged to attend, they are not voting members and should not be accorded the same rights and privileges as voting members.

Role of the Staff Representative

The City Manager appoints staff representatives to serve each of the committees and commissions. The staff representative provides information, support services and facilitates communication between the committee, the City Council and city management.

The duties of the staff representative shall include:

1. Reserve and prepare a meeting location that is available to the general public and accessible to the handicapped throughout the entire meeting.

241
12 2. Secure the location when the meeting is completed.

3. Assure that the committee/commission maintains the established meeting schedule.

4. Monitor the committee/commission membership and assist members in filling open positions, notifying the City Clerk’s Office promptly when an unscheduled vacancy occurs and when an alternate is promoted to regular member status.

5. Act as a resource for questions or inquiries generated by members of the committee or commission.

6. Act as liaison between the committee/commission and the City of Visalia.

7. Make proper meeting notifications, in accordance with the Brown Act, and make certain that all meetings are conducted in accordance with all laws.

8. Make certain that all documents related to the committee/commission are current and reflect the present operational status of the committee or commission.

9. Assist the Secretary in preparation of the action minutes; the staff person is the official “keeper” of the agendas, back-up materials, and action minutes

10. Oversee preparation and presentation of the required year-end summary to the City Council.

11. Perform other duties as assigned by the City Manager, Department Head or City Council.

12. Maintain a list of terms of the committee/commission members. 242
13 GUIDELINES FOR RELATIONS WITH OTHERS

Relations with Fellow Commission/Committee Members

Cooperation among fellow commission/committee members plays an important role in the successful efforts of these groups. In order to build consensus around common goals and objectives, members should first show a willingness to objectively define the issues at hand and then work to reconcile opposing viewpoints. When commissioners/committee members interact positively, the group as a whole will be more effective. Important points to keep in mind in working with other commission/committee members:

1. Respect an individual’s viewpoint even though it may be different from your own;

2. Allow other members adequate time to present their view before making comments;

3. Be open and honest;

4. Welcome new commission/committee members and help them become acquainted with the commission/committee.

5. Accept responsibility, voice opinions and be fair and factual.

Relations with Council

The primary responsibility of commissions/committees is to advise and make recommendations to the Council. It is the Council’s role to absorb the advice and recommendations offered by numerous sources and to make decisions to the best of its ability. Because the Council is in such a position to see the broader context and is aware of other concerns, it may not always follow the recommendation offered by individual commissions/committees.

Relations with Staff

The staff representative’s role is valuable to the success of the commission/committee. They do research and provide relevant information that enhances a commission/committee’s ability to get things done. Staff is available to answer questions and follow-up on items brought before the commission/committee.

However, members should be aware that the staff representatives are there as liaisons, assisting the members of the commission/committee by gathering information when needed or requested, submitting recommendations of the commission/committee to the Council, etc. Staff representatives must sustain a balance between their role as a liaison and as a city employee. Commission/committee members must be sensitive to the unique and vital relationships that staff representatives must maintain.

Relations with Media and Public Statements
Commissioners and Committee members should not make public statements as a spokesperson for the City of Visalia or of their particular committee/commission. Any statement made reflects the opinion of that particular member only. Any inquiries regarding city committees or commission matters should be referred to the staff representative and/or the Community Relations Manager. 243

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council receive a staff presentation and comments from the appellant, hold a public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 2023-___ (refer to Attachment 1) denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’sapproval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-

15. Summary:

The Applicant, 7Ten Properties LLC, is appealing the decision of the Planning Commission’sapproval of their Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, amending previously approved Conditional Use Permit Nos. 279 and 365 in order to operate “The Woodlands” outdoor entertainment/event venue on a developed lodge site in the Quasi-Public zone. The appellant is requesting that the City Council modify one of the conditions of approval adopted by the Planning Commission (refer to Attachment 2 for appeal filed by applicant). The condition relates to the specific required location of an acoustical sound-dampening fence along the southern property line to reduce noise impacts to residential neighbors to the south of the project site.

Background Discussion:

Project Description:

The proposed outdoor event/entertainment venue site is 84,780 square feet in size and consists of a large lawn area, large concrete and brick pad, a small event suite, and a building housing restrooms.

The project area is located on the southwest corner of West Goshen Avenue and North Chinowth Street, adjacent to 4211 West Goshen Avenue, as shown in the Site Plan in Exhibit “A”.

This outdoor open space area, referred to as ‘TheWoodlands’by the private owner, is the outdoor open space formerly referred to as “PeteGiotta Park”.This open space area was associated with the former Sons of Italy lodge located directly to the west. The Sons of Italy lodge and open space area were sold to a private owner who continues to lease and rent the lodge building, referred to as ‘Bella Vita’,for use of private and public events. The use of this building for various events was permitted Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 1 of 5

250
File #: 22-0476 Agenda Date: 1/17/2023 Agenda #: 1.

Vita’,for use of private and public events. The use of this building for various events was permitted with previously approved conditional use permits by the City (CUP No. 279 and 365). However, during a review of the former conditional use permits, staff concluded that the open space area was never legally permitted to host outdoor events. As a result, staff notified the owner that approval of a conditional use permit is required to operate the outdoor venue as currently offered by ‘The Woodlands’ business.

Planning Commission Hearing:

On December 12, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, a request to allow the operation of an outdoor event/entertainment venue, referred to as ‘The Woodlands’, for primarily private events with occasional public events in the Quasi-Public zone.

The Planning Commission received the information contained in the staff report, a staff presentation and public testimony from the applicant’srepresentative. Among other recommended conditions of approval (refer to Attachment 4 for Planning Commission staff report), City staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the acoustical sound-dampening fence be installed along the north side of the existing Italian Cypress trees rather than located on the southern property line that is shared with the Hyde Park residential development (refer to attached site plan). Staff’s preference for the acoustical fence to be located along the north side of the Italian Cypress trees was based on minimizing the aesthetic/visual impact the acoustical fence will create if located on the southern property line. Currently, there is a six-foot-tall wood fence located on the south property line.

The Applicant requested the Planning Commission amend the condition as recommended by staff and allow the placement of the acoustical sound-dampening fence to be installed along the south side of the Italian Cypress trees, between the trees and the wood fence that is on the property line so that it would not infringe on the event space. During their discussion with the Planning Commission, the Applicant’s representative stated:
“Weare requesting that the placement of the acoustical sound-dampening fence be located on the shared property because the location as conditioned by City staff would infringe on the event space and not be as effective. We request to be able to locate the fence on our property between our cypress trees and neighboring properties.”
During the public hearing, only the applicant spoke, including stating their preference for the location of the fence. The applicant did not question any of the other conditions of approval. No members of the public spoke at the public hearing. After the public hearing was closed, the Commissioners debated about the location of the required acoustical fence. They decided to include a condition of approval that required the Applicant to place the acoustical fence on the event venue side (north side) of the Italian Cypress trees. Their stated reasoning was that placing the 12-foot-high acoustical fence between the trees and the existing six-foot-high wood fence on the property line would make it visible from the southerly neighbors’ properties. The Commission felt that any change in look or visibility due to the acoustical fence should be borne by the Applicant, not by the neighbors.

It was determined in the Acoustical Analysis prepared for the CEQA document (refer to Attachment 5b for acoustical analysis) that the 12
‐
foot AcoustiFence® acoustical treatment would provide
approximately 10 decibels of noise level reduction for the residential land uses located south of the project site, resulting in project
‐
related noise levels that would not exceed the City of Visalia daytime or nighttime noise level standards.

The Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, by a 4-0 vote with Commissioner Gomez recused. The recommended resolution that is attached (refer to Attachment 1 Visalia City Council Printed on 1/13/2023Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
251
File #: 22-0476 Agenda Date: 1/17/2023 Agenda #: 1.
for resolution) contains the same findings and conditions made by the Planning Commission.

Appeal:

On December 20, 2022, staff received an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15. The appeal, filed by 7Ten Properties LLC, is included as Attachment 1. The reason for the appeal, as noted in Attachment 1 states:
“Weare requesting that the placement of the acoustical sound-dampening fence be located on the shared property because the location as conditioned by City staff would infringe on the event space and not be as effective. We request to be able to locate the fence on our property between our cypress trees and neighboring properties.”
No other supporting documents were filed with the appeal, including additional analysis from the Noise Consultant to support the claim that the relocation of the acoustic barrier would not be less effective in reducing noise as analyzed in the noise study.

Analysis:

The Visalia Municipal Code (VMC) contains criteria for acceptable noise levels during daytime and nighttime hours. VMC Section 8.36.040 provides daytime exterior categorical noise standards that vary between 50 and 70 dBA between the hours of 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The nighttime exterior categorical noise standards vary between 45 and 65 dBA between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

The applicant hired a noise consultant who prepared an Acoustical Analysis for the Woodlands project (refer to Attachment 5b for acoustical analysis). The purpose of the study was to determine if noise levels associated with the project will comply with the City’sapplicable noise level standards, particularly with regards to the existing multi-family residential uses to the south of the project site.

The acoustical analysis models determine the project
‐
related noise levels that will be generated by
the project site.

The analysis concluded that noise levels generated by the proposed outdoor venue would exceed the existing ambient noise level by up to 3.1 db L50. In order to mitigate the potential for noise spillover onto adjacent properties, the project is required to install AcoustiFence® acoustical treatment material along the southern boundary of the project site, adjacent to existing residential land uses. The acoustical treatment will be constructed to a height of 12 ‐
feet above ground elevation
along the southern boundary. The acoustical treatment material provides attenuation by both blocking and absorbing noise between a noise source and receiver. It was determined that the 12 ‐
foot
AcoustiFence® acoustical treatment would provide approximately 10 dB of noise level reduction at the residential land uses located south of the project site, resulting in project ‐
related noise levels of
approximately 43 dB L50 at the adjacent residential land uses. Such levels do not exceed the City of Visalia daytime or nighttime noise level standards and do not exceed existing (without project) ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the adjacent residential land uses.

To ensure that community noise standards are met, the project site was approved and conditioned with the mitigation measures contained in the “Conclusions and Recommendations” section of the Acoustical Analysis (refer to Attachment 5b for acoustical analysis). These mitigation measure also are included as required mitigation measures in the environmental review document (Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration) prepared for the project as follows:
1) An acoustical fence with a minimum height of 12 feet above the project ‐
side grade shall

be constructed along the southern boundary of the project site. 2) Hours of project operation must be limited to the proposed hours of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The findings of this analysis do not provide any determination of the project compliance outside of these hours.

As stated above in the report, staff recommended that the acoustical fence be installed along the north side of the existing Italian Cypress trees rather than located on the southern property line that is shared with the Hyde Park residential development. The acoustical fence location, based on staff’s estimation, will be 10 to 15 feet north of the south property line.

The Commissioners agreed with staff’srecommended condition that the acoustical fence be installed along the north side of the existing Italian Cypress trees. The Commissioners concluded that any change in look or visibility due to the acoustical fence should be borne by the Applicant, and not by the residential neighbors.

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Prior Council Action: None.

Alternatives:

The City Council may, in lieu of the recommended motion specified above, consider any of the following alternatives:

1. Uphold the applicant’sAppeal and reword Condition No. 21 to read: The Applicant shall install an acoustical fence with a minimum height of 12 feet above the project ‐
side grade and said
acoustical fence shall be located along the south side of the Italian Cypress trees, just north of the project property line.

2. Uphold the decision of the Planning Commission to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2022- 15 with their conditions, and with additional conditions, if specified by the City Council.

3. Reverse the Planning Commission’sdecision and deny Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, after making findings that would support denial.

4. Refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for further evaluation.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’sapproval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15 with no changes to the Planning Commission’s conditions.

REPORT TO CITY OF VISALIA PLANNING COMMISSION

HEARING DATE: December 12, 2022

PROJECT PLANNER: Annalisa Perea, Senior Planner, QK, Inc.

Phone No.: (559) 713-4025
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15: A request by Sam Ramirez to amend previously approved Conditional Use Permit Nos. 279 and 365 in o rder to operate “The Woodlands” outdoor entertainment/event venue on a developed lodge site in the Quasi-Public zone. The property is located at 4211 West Goshen Avenue (APN:
085-630-001 and -003).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, as conditioned, based upon the findings and conditions in Resolution No. 2022- 28. Staff’s recommendation is based on the conclusion that the request is consistent with the Vis alia G eneral Plan, Zoning and Noise Ordinances.

RECOMMENDED MOTION
I move to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15, based on the findings and conditions in Resolution No. 2022-28.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-15 seeks to operate an outdoor event/entertainment venue for primarily private events with occasional public events in the Quasi-Public zone. The proposed outdoor event/entertainment venue site is 84,780 squ are feet in size and consists of a large lawn area, large concrete and bri ck pad, a small event suite, and a building housing rest rooms.

The project area is located on the southw est corner of West Goshen Avenue and North Chinowth Street, adjacent to 4211 W est Goshen Avenue, as shown in the Site Plan in Exhibit “A”.

This outdoor open space area , referred to as ‘The Woodlands’ by the private owner , is th e outdoor open space formerly referred to as “Pete Giotta Park ”. This open s pace area was associated with the former S ons of Italy lodge located directly to the west . The Sons of I taly lodge and open space area were sold to a private owner who continues to lease and rent the lodge building, referred to as ‘Bella Vita’, for use of private and public events . The use of this building for various e vents was permitted with previously approved conditional use permits by the City ( CUP No. 279 and 365) . However, during a review of the former conditio nal use permits, staff concluded that the open s pace area was never legally permitt ed to host outdoor events. As a res ult, staff notified the owner that approval of a conditional use permit is required to operate the outdoor venue as currently offered by ‘The Woodlands’ business.

The applicant submitted a site plan review application to begin t he process of legally establishing the ou tdoor v enue and Site P lan Review No. 2022-019 was approved for the subject site on April 20, 2022. The outdoor event v enue will host priv ate ev ents such as weddings, birthdays, graduations, non- profit fundraisers, and other invitation- based gatherings.

Public events could include those previ ously held onsite such as Food Fest, mov ie nights, and

262
public markets . The venue w ould operate as a ‘ limited service ’ venue, meaning the prim ary product would be renting of the function space it self for events. Additional services such as catering, rentals, fl oral, etc. would be subcontracted by either the venue or client to outs ide vendors.

Per the venue contract and security plan, all events that intend to serve alcohol are required to contract outside licensed s ecurity services to monitor alcohol consumptio n on the property and ensure that all consumption occurs in approved areas.

The venue can expect to employ up to one full-time administrative and sales staff as well as up to 10 additional part-time event staff workers. At any given time, events can expect to see two to four staff members working an event at any given time. As explained by the appl icant in the operation statement in Exhibit “ B”, the facility will be available to operate 7 days a week beginning at 7:00 AM daily with all events ending no later than 10:00 PM.

No new development is proposed as part of this request. Only minor improvements to the site would be made in order to accommodate the outdoor event venue. A 12-foot tall AcoustiFence is proposed to be installed at the south property l ine to assi st with mit igating the potential for noise spillover onto adjacent properties. In addition, the restroom facilities that were constructed were done without the approval of a building permit . C ondition No. 5 has bee n included requiring the Applicant to submit building plans and obtain building permit and inspection approvals for the restroom building.

The subject property (i.e., The Woodlands) is located on a separate parcel from the former Sons of Italy site and does not provide any legal on-site parking. However, when the Woodlands site is in use, the outdoor venue uses the 118 paved on-site parking stalls loc ated at 4211 W est Goshen Avenue (Bella Vita site). The site plan exhibit also depicts 20 unimproved parking stalls that are located on a DG surface . These stalls are not legally permitted. Additional off-site parking stalls may be provided if the Applicant ends up establishing a shared parking agreement with the neighboring Fountain Christian Church located on the southwest corner of S. Chinowth Street and W. Douglas Avenue. The operational statement also projects that the approximate number of attendees per each event would be limited to the ultimate number of parking stalls the Applicant ends up providing. More discussion on this is included b elow under the “Parking Requirements” section below.

RELATED PLANS & POLICIES
Please see attached summary of related plans and policies. The General Plan Land Use Diagram designates the site as Public/Inst itutional and the Zo ning Map designates the site as QP (Quasi -Public) which is consistent with t he Land Use Element of t he General P lan, a nd consistent with the standards for Quasi -Public zoning district pursuant to the Visalia Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning Ordinance) Chapter 17.52.

RELATED PROJECTS
Conditional Use Permit No s. 279 and 365 were approved by t he Planning Commission to operate the on-site lodge as the Sons of Italy fraternal orga nization lodge located at 4211 W.

Goshen (APN 085-630-001).

PROJECT EVALUATION
Staff supports the conditional use permit as conditioned, based on the project’s consistency with the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance’s policies for approval of conditional use permits.

Land Use Compatibility
The Quasi-Public Zone al lows for assemblage of people for special events with a conditional use permit. Special events have been held at the pr oject site for many years, although they were indoors.

Parking Requirements
Peters Engineering Group conducted a parking analysis, (see Exhibit “C”), dated September 27, 2022. The parking analysis analyzed an on-site event with an expected attendance of 500 guests and 12 employees. Th e counts included fi eld observations of ve hicle occupancie s (persons per vehicle). Between 3:43 P M and 7:00 PM, the passenger occupancy of 84 vehicles was observed. The average vehicle occupancy was determined to be 2.4 persons per vehicle.

Although the parking study provided a further calculation that i dentified a po tential factor of

0.332 vehicles per guest, both the C ity Traffic Engineer and Planning staff conc luded that the observed 2.4 persons per vehicle number would be the factor used to determine the maximum number of people authorized on-site during events based on the number of parking stalls legally provided.

The Woodlands is proposing to utilize the existing 118 on-site parking stall s that are also used by the on -site ‘Bella Vita’ building. Additionally, the Applicant is proposing to potentially enter into a shared parking agreement with the Fountain Christian Church located to the south of the site in order to utili ze their 80 parking stal ls as well. Please note, there has been no formal documentation that demo nstrates a shared park ing agre ement between the project site (i .e., Bella Vita/Woodlands) and the Fountain Christian Church located at 1023 N. Chinowth Street. If a shared parking agreement is going to be entered into between all sites, the shared parking agreement shall be reviewed by the City Planner and City T raffic Engineer prior to the agreement being recorded against all properties. This shared parking agreement requirement is included as Condition No. 15. Lastly, an on-site decomposed granite (DG) parking lot consisting 264

of 20 stalls, would be required to be updated to current City standards if the Applicant desires to utilize these 20 stalls. Depen ding on the ultimate number of approved parking stalls will dictate the maximum number of persons allowed on- site for any given event. Below a re potential scenarios.

1. 118 existing on-site parking stalls:

Utilizing th e 2.4 persons per vehicle calculation from the Parkin g Study , the existing parking capacity of 118 on- site parking stalls can adequately accommodate a total maximum of 283 persons.

2. If the Applicant decid es to pursue a recorded shared parking agreement to a dditionally include the 80 off -site parki ng stal ls at the Fountain Christian Church as part of the project:

Utilizing the 2.4 persons per vehicle calculation from the Parkin g Study, the parking capacity can adequately accommodate a maximum of 475 persons.

3. If the Applicant decides to bring the 20 DG on-site parking stalls into compliance with City code:

Utilizing the 2.4 persons per vehicle calculation from the Parking Study , the e xisting parking capacity can adequately accommodate a maxi mum of 5 23 persons (this assumes 218 total parking stalls).

All buildings and uses shall be within 300 feet of the nearest point of walking distance within a parking facility to said building or use. It should be noted that if the Appl icant enters into a shared parking agreement with Fountain Christian Ch urch, the approximate distance from the church parking lot to the site entrance would be approximately 370 feet. Staff is recommending the Planning Commission consider approving a condition that r equires the Applicant to submit a signage plan that includes signage or placement of live staff during events to direct and support safe pedestrian travel to the venue from the parking lot.

Please note, the maximum number of people condition, based on any of the scenarios stated above for the outdoor venue, will encumber how both venues operate with events. The number of parking stalls that ultimately get approved will establish the total maximum number of persons that can be on both sites (Bella Vita and The Woodlands) when either venue is in use.

Light/Photometric Plan
The project may create incidental new sources of light that are typical with outdoor event uses.

The City has developed standards that re quire that light be directed and/or shielde d so it does not fall upon adjacent properties. Although a photometric study has not been provided, a condition is included with the CUP requiring complia nce with the 1.0 footcandle standard at the property line, in particular to the south where scattered residential uses are located.

Noise/Acoustical Plan
The Visalia Municipal Code (VMC) contains criteria for acceptable noise levels during daytime and nig httime hours . VMC Section 8. 36.040 provides daytime exterior categorical noise standards that vary between 50 and 70 dBA between th e hours of 6:00 AM and 7:00 P M. The nighttime exterior categorical noise standards vary between 45 and 65 dBA between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

265

An Acoustical Analysis was pr epared for the proposed projec t (Exhibit “D”), ad dressing the proposed outdoor events at the event facility. The purpose of the study was to determine if noise levels associated with the project wil l comply with the City’s app licable noise level standards , particularly with regards to the existing multi -family residential uses to the sout h of the project site. The acoustical analysis models determine the project‐related noise levels that will be generated by the project site.

The analysis concluded that noise levels generated by the proposed outdoor venue would exceed the existing ambient noise level by up to 3.1 db L50. In order to mitigate the potential for noise spillover onto adjacent properties , the project will install AcoustiFence® acoustical treatment material along the southern boundary of the project site, adjacent to existing residential land us es. The acoustical treatment will be constructed to a height of 12‐ feet above ground elevation along the southern boundary . The acoustical treatment material provides attenuation by both blocking and absorbing noise between a noise source and receiver. I t was determined that the 12‐ foot AcoustiFence® acoustical treatment would provide approximately 10 dB of noise level reduction at the residential land uses located s outh of the project site, resulting in project ‐related noise levels of approximately 43 dB L 50 at the adjacent residential land uses. Such levels do not excee d the City of Visalia daytime or nighttime noise level standards and do not exceed existing (without project) ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the adjacent residential land uses.

To ensure that community noise standards are met for the pr oposed proj ect, the project site shall be developed in substantial compliance with the mitigation contained in the “Conclusions and Recommendations” section of the above- referenced Acoustical Analysis. This mitigation is also included as requir ed mitigati on measures in the environmental review document (Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration) prepar ed for the project. As described in the analysis, the measures are as follows:
1) An acoustical fence with a minimum h eight of 12 feet above the project‐side grade shall be constructed along the southern boundary of the project site.

2) Hours of project operation must be limited to the proposed hours of 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The findings of this analysis do not provide any determination of the project compliance outside of these hours.

A condi tion of appr oval was developed in order to ensure strict adherence to the Acoust ical Study mitigation measures. To fu rther reduce any potential for noise pollution onto adjacent properties, the Applicant has i mplemented a ‘no live music pol icy’ on-site during any event.

Lastly, the Applicant recently upgraded their sound system to strate gically place 12 new speakers throughout the venue space to provide the best cov erage and to direct sound back onto the property and not onto the surr ounding neighboring areas. The system is regulated by the venue during special events in order for the venue to maintain control of the decibel level of noise coming from the system.

Staff is also requesting that the acoustical fence be installed along the north side of the existing Italian Cypress trees rather than located on the southern pr operty line that is shared with t he Hyde Park residential development. S taff’s preference for the acoustical fence to be located along the north side of the Italian Cyp ress tr ees is based on minimizing the aesthetic/visual impact the acoustical fence will create if located on the southern property line. Currently, there is a six-foot tall wood fence located on the south property line.

266

Security Plan
A Secu rity Plan (Ex hibit “E”) prepared for this project states that the venue would contract security services from an outside licensed thir d party for all events that intend to serve alcohol.

Additionally, any event over 50 guests will have their program evaluated and secur ity staff may be required despite no alcohol being served. The venue would implement a policy that there will be one guard required for every 100 guests with additional staff required based on the program as determined by the event management.

Conditional Use Permit Revocation Process
Pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code Section 17.38.040, a failure by the owner/operator to comply with the conditions of project approval will result i n a Notice of Conditional Use Permit Suspension Order to Cease and Desist . T he City of Visalia has the authority to automatically suspend a conditional use permit for failure to comply with the condition(s) of the permit. Upon suspension the Planning Commission shall hold a public hearing within 60 days, in accordance with the public hearing notice procedures. If the Commission is not satisfied that the regulation, general provisions, or applicant’s ability to meet the conditions, they may revoke the permit or take action as may be necessary to ensure compliance with the regulation, general provision, or condition(s).

Environmental Review
Initial Study/Mitigated N egative Declaration (IS/MND) 2022-30 was prepared for this project.

The IS/MND includes mitigation measures to reduce any potentially significant impacts to a level of less than significant (Exhibit “F”).

Correspondence
The City has received items of correspondence from neighbors who reside to the south of the project site. The correspondence addresses concerns related to the ongoing use of the site for the outdoor venue (See Exhibit “G”).

RELATED PLANS AND POLICIES
Conditional Use Permits
(Section 17.38)

17.38.010 Purposes and powers.

In certain zones conditional uses are permitted subject to the granting of a conditional use permit.

Because of their unusual characteristics, conditional uses require special consideration so that they may be located properly with respect to the objectives of the zoning ordinance and with respect to their effects on surrounding properties. In order to achieve these purposes and thus give the zone use regulations the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title, the planning commission is empowered to grant or deny applications for conditional use permits and to impose reasonable conditions upon the gr anting of such permits. (Prior code § 7525)

17.38.020 Application procedures.

A. Application for a conditional use permit shall be made to the planning commission on a form prescribed by the commission which shall include the following data:

3. Address and legal description of the property;

4. The application shall be accompanied by such sketches or drawings as may be necessary by the planning division to clearly show the applicant's proposal;

5. The purposes of the conditional use permit and the general description of the use proposed;

6. Additional information as required by the historic preservation advisory committee.

B. The application s hall be accompanied by a fee set by resolution of the city council sufficient to cover the cost of handling the application. (Prior code § 7526)

17.38.030 Lapse of conditional use permit.

A conditional use permit shall lapse and shall become void twenty-four (24) months after the date on which it became effective, unless the conditions of the permit allowed a shorter or greater time limit, or unless prior to the expiration of twenty -four (24) months a building permit is issue d by the city and construction is commenced and diligently pursued toward completion on the site which was the subject of the permit. A permit may be renewed for an additional period of one year; provided, that prior to the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the date the permi t originally became effective, an application for renewal is filed with the pl anning commission. The commission m ay grant or deny an application for renewal of a conditional use permit. In the case of a planned residential development, the recording of a final map and improvements thereto shall be deemed the same as a building permi t in relation to this section. (Ord. 2001-13 § 4 (part), 2001: prior code § 7527)

@thewoodlandsvisaliaThe Woodlands Visalia
559-372-9822bookings@thewoodlandsvisalia.comwww.thewoodlandsvisalia.com 279 The Woodlands Operations Summary The Woodlands Visalia will be located at 4211 W Goshen Ave in Visalia. The property sits on 84,780 square feet and consists of a large lawn area, large concrete and brick pad, a small event suite, and a building housing bathrooms. Property Use The intended use of this space is as an event venue for primarily private events with occasional public events hosted as well. Private events will be marketed such as weddings, birthdays, graduations, non-profit fundraisers, and other invitation-only gatherings. Public events will consist of previous ones like Food Fest, movie nights, public markets, and other events. Property Description The subject property is a large park-like setting located in northwest Visalia. The existing building will be divided into various rooms to hold and support events. Services The venue will operate as a ‘limited service’ venue. This means the primary product will be the renting of the function space itself. Additional services such as catering, rentals, floral, etc. will all be subcontracted by either the venue or client to outside vendors. The venue will be marketed to accommodate groups up to 200 seated with some ability to flex to larger events with additional operational activations to facilitate impact on items such as parking. In addition to catering, clients will be allowed to utilize both hosted and cash bar programs. Hosted bars will be executed by the venue with certified bartending services. Cash bars will be available through 3rd party vendors who will obtain all required licenses and permits. Per the venue contract, all events that intend to serve alcohol are required to contract outside licensed security services to monitor alcohol consumption on the property and ensure that all consumption occurs in approved areas. Even for events that do not serve alcohol, the venue may still require security to monitor the event, parking lot, and surrounding areas. Hours of Operation The venue will be available to operate 7 days a week beginning at 7:00 am daily with all events ending no later than 10:00 pm. 280
The Woodlands Operations Summary Employment & Staff Use The venue can expect to employ up to 1 full-time administrative and sales staff as well as up to 10 additional part-time event staff workers. At any given time, events can expect to see 2-4 staff members working an event at any given time. Parking We have conducted a parking study which has been submitted along with our permits. The study indicates an average usage of 2.4 guests per vehicle. With 118 paved parking stalls that should allow 283 guests for both venues. We would request the ability to utilize the smaller ‘DG’ parking lot of 20 stalls temporarily with the intent to have it permanently paved to city code standards within 9 months. Use of that lot should allow for an additional 48 guests. Additionally, we are in currently in discussion to enter into a parking agreement with Fountain Christian Church located at the corner of Chinowith & Douglas. The church’s pastor has already agreed to use it but must get board approval which meets just monthly and will be in the coming week. We expect approval and will submit the agreement for recording as soon as complete. This lot is approximately 370 feet from the Chinowith entrance. We would request permission to utilize this lot as well although it’s slightly out of the range of the required 300 feet. We would be willing to add supporting factors like signage, or placement of live staff during events to direct and support safe pedestrian travel to the venue from the parking lot. This lot contains 80 parking stalls which would by the parking standard allow for an additional 192 guests.

281
The Woodlands Operations Summary With the use of the primary parking lot, the temporary use of the DG lot, and the overflow at the church property, we would have the ability to support 523 guests between both properties. Noise Ordinance We are aware of the existing noise ordinance and have taken and are taking several steps to mitigate the impact on the surrounding neighborhood. • We have already implemented a ‘no live music policy. We no longer allow live performances of any kind in the venue as this music volume is difficult to regulate. • In February we completed the installation of an in-house sound system that all vendors are required to utilize. This sound system places 12 speakers strategically throughout the venue space to provide the best coverage and direct sound back into the property and not to the neighboring area. This system allows also sound to be controlled by the venue and regulated to not exceed set decibel levels. Since installation, we have held several events and to our knowledge, none have resulted in noise complaints. We have also had a sound study completed which indicated the sound output is below the City’s ordinance requirements. Work Completed In accordance with our TCUP, we have already added emergency exit signs and a second exit door with panic hardware per the Fire Department's request. 282

Subject: Parking Study
The Woodlands Outdoor Venue
4211 West Goshen Avenue
Visalia, California
Introduction
This report presents the results of a parking study for the subject project and supersedes a previous report dated June 24, 2022 . The purpose of the study is to identify the existing parking capacity, the parking demand for an event with a known number of planned guests, and the vehicle occupancy.

Project Description
The subject parking area is located on both sides of the existing building at 4211 West Goshen Avenue in Visalia, California. The western parking lot is paved and striped with 118 available parking stalls, five of w hich appear to be accessible parking stalls . The eastern parking lot is surfaced with decomposed g ranite and is not marked . The capacity of the eastern lot appears to be approximately 20 vehicles. The City of Visalia has required that:
“A parking study must be submitted as part of the CUP application submittal. The parking study must demonstrate that sufficient onsite parking will be provided as part of the site to ad equately accommodate any events. If shared parking with a separate property is propose d, the applicant shall provi de additional information verifying that the off-site parking area complies with all requirements of the Visalia Municipal Code…”
It is our understanding that shared parking is proposed, with an additional 80 off-site parking spaces expected to be ava ilable. It is also expected that the City will require “No Parking” signs on Goshen Avenue.

Observed Parking Demand
Parking counts were performed by Metro Traffic Data, Inc. on Saturday, May 21, 2022 for an event with an expected a ttendance of 500 guests and 12 emp loyees. The counts were performed between 3:30 p.m. and midnight at 30-minute intervals in the subject parking lots, on the street adjacent to the venue, and in the office complex on the east side of Chinowth Avenue. The counts included observations of vehicle occupanc ies (persons per vehic le).

The data summary is attached. Table 1 summarizes the results of the parking counts. 283

* The number of parked vehicles in the west lot includes vehicles parked in unmarked locations, which causes utilization to exceed 100 percent for some observations.

Vehicle Occupancy
Between 3:43 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. , the passenger occupancy of 84 vehicles was observed .

The average vehicle occupancy was determined to be 2.4 persons per vehicle.

Calculated Parking Demand
Considering that the 500-guest event generated a peak of 166 parked vehicles, the calculated parking demand rate (on a per-guest basis) is 166 / 500 = 0.332 vehicles per guest.

Recommendations
Considering that on-street parking will not be allowed by the City , the available number of parking stalls is approximately 138 stalls on site (a total of 118 in the west parking lot and 20 in the east parking lot) plus an additional 80 s talls available off site , for a grand total of 218 stalls available . Utilizing a rate of 0.332 vehicles per guest, it appears that the existing parking capacity can adequately accommodate events up to approximately 656 persons (218 /

0.332 = 656).
