11 1212% soft cost reimbursement for MPFP is estimated. Reimbursement for MPFP soft costs will be based on actual costs. Soft costs include Plan Check and Inspection, Engineering and Surveying, General Requirements, and Construction Management.
In providing opinions of probable construction cost, the Client understands that the Engineer has no control over costs or the price of labor, equipment or materials, or over the Contractor's method of pricing, and that the opinions of probable construction costs provided herein are to be made on the basis of the Engineer's qualifications and experience. The Engineer makes no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of such opinions as compared to bid or actual costs.
This opinion of costs assumes that civil improvements are to be constructed in two (2) phases as grouped in the cost opinion. Cost savings could be realized if the project is built out in one single phase. Costs also assume competitive bidding.
This opinion of probable cost was based on 1A. Approved Pioneer Village Phase 1 Intract Plans dated 06/23/2021; 1B. Approved Pioneer Avenue Improvement Plans dated 06/23/2021 including Delta Revisions 1 and 2; 1C. Approved Gibson Road/Harry Lorenzo/Bourn Drive Intersection & Signal Improvement Plans dated 06/23/2021; 2A. Approved Pioneer Village Phase 2 Intract Plans dated 08/19/2021; and 2B. Approved Farmers Central Road Improvement Plans dated 08/19/2021.
Unit costs are based on Bid Prices from Marques General Engineering dated 08/06/21, 10/28/2021; Pacific Excavation dated 02/03/2022 and Black Rock Masonry dated 05/31/2022. Items with no Bid information are 2021 basis, except where otherwise noted.
A portion of the 10ft concrete path along the Harry Lorenzo Avenue frontage for Pioneer Village Intract Improvements Phase 1 & 2 is included in the SLIF cost portion of the path. That portion is sidewalk wider than the standard 5.5ft sidewalk for a collector street in the Spring Lake Specific Plan. Developer costs for the remaining items in the Pioneer Village Intract Improvements Phase 1 & 2 are not included. 24% soft cost reimbursement for SLIF is estimated. Reimbursement for SLIF soft costs will be based on actual costs. Soft costs include Plan Check and Inspection, Engineering and Surveying, General Requirements, and Construction Management. d. Any costs related to environmental assessment or the mitigation of any contamination, endangered species or archeological. resources. e. Costs for land, financing, bonds and easements.
f. On-site improvements including fencing, etc.
Costs shown as "MPFP" refer to Major Projects Financing Plan improvements. This cost is reimbursable to Client and/or and will be creditable against Roadway Impact Fees.
h. Costs associated with coordination with other contractors working within the Spring Lake area. i. Front and side yard landscaping.
This opinion assumes payment of prevailing wage for off-site improvements (outside of intracts).
This opinion excludes construction staking.
g. Utility runs from back of curb to buildings (incl. sewer, water, PG&E, etc.) This opinion of costs DOES NOT include costs for the following items:
Earthwork estimates are based on civil improvement plans and Civil 3D estimates. b. Undergrounding or relocation of existing overhead utility lines (except as noted). c. Permits or other City fees.

9. Labor Compliance:
A. Prevailing Wages. Contractor is aware of the re quirements of California Labor Code Section 1720 et seq., and 1770 et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000 et seq., (“Prevailing Wage Laws”), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on “public works” and “maintenance” projects. Since the Work is being pe rformed as part of an applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and since the total compensation is $1,000 or more, Con tractor agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. City shall provide Cont ractor with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commenceme nt of this Contract upon request.
Contractor shall make copies of the prevailing rate s of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the Services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at Cont ractor’s principal place of business and at the project site. Contractor shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless fr om any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with th e Prevailing Wage Laws. Contractor and any subcontractor shall forfeit a penalty of up to $200 per calendar day or portion thereof for each worker paid less than the prevailing wage rates.
B. Apprenticeable Crafts. When Contractor employs workmen in an apprenticeable craft or trade, Contractor shall comply with the pr ovisions of Section 1777.5 of the California Labor Code with respect to the employment of properly registered apprentices upon public works. The primary responsibility for compliance with said section for all apprenticeable occupations shall be with Contractor . The Contractor or any subcontractor that is determined by the Labor Commi ssioner to have knowingly violated Section 1777.5 shall forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding $100 for each full calendar day of noncompliance, or such greater amount as provided by law.
C. Hours of Work. Contractor is advised that eight (8) hours labor constitutes a legal day’s work. Pursuant to Section 1813 of the Califo rnia Labor Code, Contractor shall forfeit a penalty of $25.00 per worker for each day that each worker is permitted to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day a nd forty (40) hours in any one
4 calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the basic rate for that worker.
D. Payroll Records. Contractor and each subcontrac tor shall keep an accurate payroll record, showing the name, address, social security number, work classification, straight time and overtime hours worked each day and week, a nd the actual per diem wages paid to each journeyman, apprentice, worker, or other employee employed by him or her in connection with the public work. The payroll re cords shall be certified and shall be available for inspection at all reasonable hours at the principal office of Contractor in the manner provided in Labor Code section 1776. In the event of noncompliance with the requirements of this section, Contractor shall have 10 days in which to comply subsequent to receipt of written notice specifying in what respects such Contractor must comply with this section.

Upon the request of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards or the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, such penalties shall be withheld from progress payments then due. The responsibility for compliance with this section is on Contractor. The requirement to submit certified payroll records directly to the La bor Commissioner under Labor Code section 1771.4 shall not apply to work performed on a public works project that is exempt pursuant to the small project exemption specified in Labor Code Section 1771.4.
E. Contractor and Subcontractor Registration. Purs uant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform publi c work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations.

ITEM #: G.15
SUBJECT: Fee Deferral Agreement - La Quinta Hotel
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Non-Residential Fee Deferral Agreement with 3S Hospitality, LLC.
Staff Contact:
Megan Meier, Associate Planner, [email protected], (530) 661-5814
Fiscal Impact:
There is a short-term fiscal impact on the City as a result of the recommended action to defer $648,871.12 in Development Impact and Water Capacity Fees. The deferred fees will be amortized over a five (5) year period at four (4) percent interest. The first of five payments will be due twelve (12) months from the execution date of the agreement. The applicant will then make four (4) subsequent annual payments, including principal and interest. The applicant will pay a total of $79,899.11 in interest on the deferred fees for a total of $728,770.23. The project will result in positive fiscal impacts to the city in the form of increased property, sales, and transient occupancy tax. Additionally, the project will create new jobs and employment opportunities for local residents.
Background:
In April 2021, the City of Woodland approved a Conditional Use Permit (PC 21-01) for the Woodland Depot development project. The project includes an 86-room, 4-story, 46,275 square-foot La Quinta hotel. The hotel, anticipated to break ground in the first quarter of 2023, will be located on the south side of East Main Street between the existing Walmart Shopping Center and Interstate I-5 northbound off-ramp in the Regional Commercial zoning district. Additional improvements are required as part of the entitlement conditions of approval, including the construction of a new ADA curb, sidewalk and gutters, medians, site landscaping, parking, and EV chargers along with other hotel amenities including a bar and grill and adjacent pool area.
Discussion:
The current cost of construction due to inflationary constraints has resulted in added burdens to development and upfront holding costs. Payment of the City’s development impact fees and water capacity fees at the time of building permit issuance adds an additional financial burden, challenging the project’s financial feasibility.
The applicant has worked closely with the City and their financial lender to develop the fee deferral agreement terms necessary for the project to move forward in Spring 2023. The owner/developer, 3S Hospitality, owns and manages a number of successful hotel locations in California and nationally. 3S Hospitality wishes to move forward with the La Quinta hotel in Woodland, bringing vitality to a longstanding vacant site on E. Main Street. The hotel project will also improve the viability of future uses at the larger Woodland Depot project site, including the adjacent 7-Eleven market and gas station currently under construction, and the future restaurant/commercial pad which the owner is actively marketing. The Fee Deferral Agreement includes a Deed of Trust and Promissory Note that provides the City with payment security in the event of any issues with future loan repayment.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to enter into
a Non-Residential Fee Deferral Agreement with 3S Hospitality, LLC.

8. Security. From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall contractually bind Owner to pay the DIF and WCF and shall constitute a lien against the Property in the amount of the DIF and WCF. City and Owner shall additionally execute that certain Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust (“Promissory Note”), and Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing (“Deed of Trust”), which together are set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

Upon payment of the DIF and WCF to City in full, City shall execute and record in the Official Records of the County of Yolo, California a release of the Deed of Trust and any lien(s) from the Property in a form approved by the City Attorney.

obligation of Owner to pay any and all fees for the Property, nor shall the sale, lease, or any encumbrance of the Property release Owner of this contractual obligation.
9. City’s Remedies For Owner’s Default. Failure of Owner to pay the DIF and WCF pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed an event of default hereunder, and City shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy in this Agreement, and in its sole discretion, to: (a) demand immediate payment in full by Owner or successors in interest of Owner of all outstanding amounts owed; (b) charge a late fee on all late and outstanding payments; (c) treat and collect all outstanding amounts as a lien against the Property; or (d) enforce any combination of the foregoing rights, in addition to any other right City may have in law or in equity.
10. Rights Not Granted Under Agreement. This Agreement is not, and shall not be construed to be, an approval or a granting of any right or entitlement (vested or otherwise) by City concerning any development on the Property, or any other project, development, or other construction by Owner within the City. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, exempt Owner from paying any fees for any entitlements, permits, licenses, or other approvals that may be required by the City or other public entity with jurisdiction over the Property at the time required by the City or other public entity with jurisdiction over the Property, or any other project development or other construction by Owner. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, exempt Owner from any requirement to obtain permits or other discretionary or non- discretionary approvals as may be necessary for the development, maintenance, or operation of the development on the Property or any other project, development, or other construction by Owner within the City. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, exempt Owner or the Property from the application or exercise of the City’s or any of its related agencies’ power of eminent domain or is police powers, including, but not limited to, the regulation of land uses, and the taking of any actions necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare.
11. Indemnification. Owner shall defend (with counsel of City’s choice), indemnify and hold City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, damages, or injuries to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner caused by any acts, omissions, or willful misconduct of Owner, its officials, officers, employees, agents, consultants, and contractors arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Fee Deferral Ordinance (“Claims”), including without limitation, the payment of all consequential damages, attorneys’ fees, and other related costs and expenses. The indemnity provided herein shall include coverage of City under any warranty or guarantee implied by law or fact, or otherwise given to Owner. This indemnification provision shall not apply to any Claims arising out of or incident to the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officials, officers, employees, or agents. In addition, this indemnity provision and any warranties or guarantees shall not limit any liability under law of any consultants or contractors of Owner.
Without limiting the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any claims arising because Owner has failed to properly secure any necessary easements, land rights, contracts or approvals, or to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.
12. Notice to Subsequent Owners. The original of this Agreement will be recorded in the Official Records of the County of Yolo, California, and will provide notice to subsequent owners/occupants of the Property that the Property is subject to this Agreement and the conditions

The rights or remedies of City, as provided in this Agreement, or pursuant to any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, may be pursued singly successively, together, or otherwise against the Property, Owner, or its transferees, successor(s), or assign(s) at the City’s sole discretion. City’s failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of such rights or remedies, or of the right to exercise them at a later time.
14. No Waiver. City or Owner’s failure to insist on performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or to excuse any right, remedy, or privilege of City’s or Owner’s waiver of any breach hereunder shall not thereafter be deemed a subsequent waiver of any of the terms, conditions, or rights, remedies, or privileges, whether of the same or similar type. No party will be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless the waiver is made in writing and signed by the waiving party or that party’s duly authorized representative. All rights and remedies provided for under this Agreement are cumulative.
15. Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with each other in good faith and in furtherance of the purposes of this Agreement. The Parties hereby agree to take such other reasonable actions and execute such other documents as are consistent with this Agreement and as are reasonably necessary to effectuate this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require City to take any legislative act or exercise its discretion in any particular manner.
16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the final and complete agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters herein discussed and supersedes all previous communications and agreements between them, either oral or written, to the extent such prior communications and agreements are inconsistent with this Agreement.
17. Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable by Owner without the prior written consent of City, and any attempt to make such assignment shall be void and shall constitute an incurable material default under this Agreement. Upon such unpermitted assignment, City shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy provided in this Agreement, to immediately make demand upon the Note. Should a permitted assignment occur, the terms, conditions, and obligations created under this Agreement shall run with the Property in perpetuity from the Effective Date and shall be binding upon all successors and assigns to the Property.

If any action or proceeding is commenced between City and Owner to enforce or interpret any term of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to all other relief to which it may be entitled, shall be entitled to recover from the other party the prevailing party’s cost of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The attorneys’ fees and costs shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ costs and fees incurred on appeal and those incurred in enforcing any judgment rendered in any such action or proceeding.

It shall be the sole responsibility of Owner to determine whether to comply with Prevailing Wage Laws for any or all work required by this Agreement. As a material part of this Agreement, Owner agrees to assume all risk of liability arising from any decision not to comply with Prevailing Wage Laws for work required by this Agreement.

EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE DOLLARS AND TWELVE CENTS ($648,871.12) according to the terms of a promissory note (the “Note”) of even date herewith, executed by Trustor in favor of Beneficiary, or order and any extension or renewals thereof, and (b) due, prompt and complete observance, performance and discharge of each and every monetary and non- monetary condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained herein or contained in the Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement entered into by and between Trustor and Beneficiary (the “Fee Deferral Agreement”) of even date herewith. The Agreement and the Note (collectively, “Secured Obligations”) and all of their terms are incorporated herein by reference and this conveyance shall secure any and all extensions, amendments, modifications or renewals thereof, however evidenced.
2.Maintenance and Repair. Trustor shall (a) keep the Property in good condition and repair; (b) complete or restore promptly and in good and workmanlike manner any building that may be constructed, damaged, or destroyed; (c) pay when due all claims for labor performed and materials furnished; (d) comply with all laws affecting the Property or requiring any alterations or improvements to be made; (e) not commit or permit waste; and (f) cultivate, irrigate, fertilize, fumigate, prune, and do all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary.

4.Defense of Security. Trustor shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security or the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee. Trustor shall pay all costs and expenses, including costs of evidence of title and attorneys’ fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Trustee or Beneficiary may appear, and in any suit brought by Beneficiary to foreclose this Deed of Trust.

6.Reimbursement of Costs. Trustor shall pay upon demand all reasonable and documented sums expended by Beneficiary or Trustee provided for in this Deed of Trust or allowed by law, and as provided in the Agreement and Note.

8.Reconveyance. That upon written request of Beneficiary stating that all sums secured hereby have been paid, and upon surrender of this Deed of Trust and said note or notes to Trustee for cancellation and retention or other disposition as Trustee in its sole discretion may choose and upon payment of its fees, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the property then held hereunder. The recitals of such reconveyance of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto.”
9.Assignment of Rents. Subject to the rights of senior lenders, Trustor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Beneficiary all of the rents, issues, profits, royalties, revenues, income, and other benefits (collectively, the “Rents”) derived from the Property, whether now due, past due or to become due, and hereby gives to and confers upon Beneficiary, either directly or through a receiver, the right, power, and authority, but not the obligation, to collect the Rents, and to sue, either in the name of Trustor or Beneficiary, for all such Rents and to apply the same to the indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Beneficiary may determine in its sole discretion. This assignment of Rents is intended to create and shall be construed to create an absolute assignment to Beneficiary of all of Trustor’s right, title, and interest in the Rents. So long as no default exists by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby, or in any other covenant contained herein, or in said note or notes or in any other document evidencing or securing such indebtedness, Trustor shall have the right to collect all Rents from the Property and to retain, use, and enjoy the same. Upon the occurrence of such a default beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, without the necessity of demand or other notice to Trustor or any other act to enforce Beneficiary’s interest pursuant to this assignment, Trustor shall have no interest whatsoever in the Rents that are received by Trustor after a default, and all such Rents shall be received and held by Trustor in constructive trust for Beneficiary and delivered promptly to Beneficiary, or to a court-appointed receiver for the Property, without the necessity for further notice to, or demand upon, Trustor. Upon the occurrence of such a default, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, and at any time thereafter during the continuance thereof, Beneficiary may, at its option, send any tenant of the Property a notice to the effect that: (a) a default has occurred; (b) Beneficiary has elected to exercise its rights under this assignment; and (c) such tenant is thereby directed to thereafter make all payments of Rents to or for the benefit of Beneficiary or as Beneficiary shall direct. Any such tenant shall be entitled to rely upon any notice from Beneficiary and shall be protected with respect to any payment of Rents made pursuant to such notice, irrespective of whether a dispute exists between Trustor and Beneficiary with respect to the existence of a default or the rights of Beneficiary hereunder. Any such tenant shall not be required to investigate or determine the validity or accuracy of such notice or the validity or enforceability of this assignment. Trustor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold any such tenant harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to any payment of Rents by such tenant made in reliance on and pursuant to such notice.
Exhibit D
82093.00006\31929645.1
10.Default and Foreclosure. Upon default by Trustor in payment or performance of any Secured Obligation, subject to any applicable notice and cure period, Beneficiary may declare all sums secured immediately due and payable by delivery to Trustee of a declaration of default and demand for sale and of a notice of default and of a notice of sale, which notice Trustee shall cause to be filed for record. Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee this Deed of Trust, said note or notes, and all documents evidencing expenditures secured by this Deed of Trust. Upon default of any obligation secured by this Deed of Trust and acceleration of all sums due, Beneficiary may instruct Trustee to proceed with a sale of the Property under the power of sale granted in this Deed of Trust, noticed and held in accordance with California Civil Code Sections 2924, et seq., as such statutes may be amended from time to time. Trustor waives all rights it may have to require marshaling of assets or to require sales of assets in any particular order, including any rights under California Civil Code Sections 2899 and 3455.
11.Substitution of Trustee. Beneficiary, or any successor in ownership of any indebtedness secured hereby, may from time to time, by instrument in writing, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named herein or acting hereunder, which instrument executed by the Beneficiary and duly acknowledged and recorded in the office of the recorder of the county or counties where the Property is situated, shall be conclusive proof of proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the Trustee predecessor, succeed to all its title, estate, rights, powers, and duties. Said instrument must contain the name of the original Trustor, Trustee, and Beneficiary hereunder, the book and page where this Deed of Trust is recorded, and the name and address of the new Trustee.
12.Successors and Assigns. This Deed of Trust applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors, and assigns. The term “Beneficiary” shall mean the owner and holder, including pledgees, of the secured note or notes, whether or not named as Beneficiary herein.
13.Trustee Acceptance. Trustee accepts this trust when this Deed of Trust, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.
14.Further Assurances. Trustor shall, at its own cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers, and assurances as Trustee or Beneficiary shall from time to time reasonably require, for better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Trustee the Property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Trustor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Trustee, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Deed of Trust, or for filing, registering, or recording this Deed of Trust. Trustor shall, on demand, execute and deliver, and hereby authorizes Trustee and Beneficiary, or either of them, to execute in the name of Trustor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages, or comparable security instruments, to evidence more effectively the lien hereof. Immediately upon the execution and delivery of this Deed of Trust, and thereafter from time to time, Trustor shall cause this Deed of Trust, and any security instruments creating a lien or evidencing the lien hereof upon any personal property and each instrument of further assurance,
Exhibit D
82093.00006\31929645.1
to be filed, registered, or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the lien hereof upon, and the title of Trustee to, the Property encumbered hereby.
15.Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds. Immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation or other taking of all or any portion of the Property, or knowledge of any casualty damage to the Property, or damage in any other manner, Trustor shall immediately notify Beneficiary thereof. Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary as attorney-in-fact for Trustor to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under the insurance policies covering the Property, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Beneficiary’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall require Beneficiary to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. Trustor hereby authorizes and empowers Beneficiary, at Beneficiary’s option, as attorney-in-fact for Trustor, to commence, appear in, and prosecute, in Beneficiary’s or Trustor’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or other taking of all or any part of the Property, whether direct or indirect, and to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation or other taking. The proceeds of any award payment or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking, whether direct or indirect, of the Property, or any part thereof, or for conveyances in lieu of the Property, or any part thereof, shall be paid to Beneficiary. The foregoing powers of attorney are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. Trustor hereby authorizes Beneficiary to apply such awards, payments, proceeds or damages relating to condemnation of the Property and insurance covering the Property, after the deduction of Beneficiary’s expenses incurred in the collection of such amounts, subject to the requirements of applicable law and the provisions hereof, to restoration or repair of the Property or to payment of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall be under no obligation to question the amount of any compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, rights of action, and payments relating to condemnation or other taking of the Property or insured casualty affecting the Property, and may accept the same in the amount in which the same shall be paid. Trustor shall execute such further evidence of assignment of any awards, proceeds, damages or claims arising in connection with such condemnation or taking or such insurance as Beneficiary may require. Notwithstanding the above, the Beneficiary shall release all insurance and condemnation proceeds to Trustor to be used to reconstruct the improvements on the Property provided that Beneficiary reasonably determines that such restoration, repair or rebuilding is economically feasible. If such insurance proceeds shall be insufficient for such purposes, Trustor shall make up the deficiency. If the Project is subject to a partial condemnation or taking, then the proceeds received therefrom shall be applied to restore the Project taken, provided the Beneficiary determines that such restoration is economically feasible and no default exists under the Secured Obligations following the expiration of all applicable cure periods. If the Project is subject to a total condemnation, or if Beneficiary determines that restoration of the Project is not feasible following a partial condemnation, or if a default exists then the proceeds from any condemnation award or claim for damages shall be used first to repay all sums under the Secured Obligations, with the excess, if any, paid to Trustor, subject to the rights of the senior lender.
16.Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Deed of Trust shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
Exhibit D
82093.00006\31929645.1
illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Deed of Trust, but this Deed of Trust shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein, but only to the extent of such invalidity.
17.Estoppel Certificate.

PROMISSORY NOTE
SECURED BY DEED OF TRUST
Woodland, California _____________, 202__
For value received, the undersigned (herein “Owner”, whether one or more), promises to pay to the CITY OF WOODLAND, a California municipal corporation (“City”), at 300 First Street, Woodland, California 95695, or at any other place that may be designated in writing by City, the principal sum of SIX HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY-ONE DOLLARS AND TWELVE CENTS ($648,871.12). All sums due are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
1. This Promissory Note Secured by Deed of Trust (“Promissory Note”) is made and delivered pursuant to and in implementation of that certain Development Impact Fee Deferral Agreement entered into by and between City and Owner of even date herewith (the “Fee Deferral Agreement”). The terms and conditions of the Fee Deferral Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. The Promissory Note (“Promissory Note”) is secured by a Deed of Trust Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement, and Fixture Filing of the same date as this Note, executed by Owner, as Trustor, in favor of City, as Beneficiary (“Deed of Trust”), and encumbering the real property described in the Deed of Trust (“Property”). The holder of this note will be entitled to the benefits of the security provided by the Deed of Trust and will have the right to enforce the covenants and agreements of Owner contained in the Deed of Trust.
3. Principal and interest under this Note are due and payable as set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of the Fee Deferral Agreement.
4. If Owner fails to make any required payment on or before ten (10) days following the date upon which it becomes due, Owner shall pay a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the unpaid payment. All payments on this Promissory Note will be applied first to the payment of any costs, fees, late charges, or other charges incurred in connection with the indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note; next, to the payment of accrued interest, then to the reduction of the principal balance.
5. If:
(a) Owner fails to pay when due any sum payable under this Promissory Note; or, (b) Owner fails to pay any indebtedness secured by, or fails to perform any covenant or agreement under, the Deed of Trust; or,
(c) Owner agrees to or actually sells, conveys, transfers, disposes of, or further encumbers the Property, or any part thereof, of any interest therein, without first obtaining the written consent of the holder of this Promissory Note,
82093.00006\31929645.1
Then Owner shall pay to City all sums owing under this Promissory Note without deduction, offset, or counterclaim of any kind. The relationship of Owner and City under this Promissory Note is solely that of borrower and lender, and the loan evidenced by this Promissory Note and secured by the Deed of Trust will in no manner make City the partner or joint venturer of Borrower.
6. In the event of a dispute arising under this Promissory Note, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with California Civil Code Section 1717. For purposes of this Promissory Note, a dispute shall be construed as arising under the Promissory Note if its subject matter pertains to one or more terms of the Promissory Note, the Deed of Trust, or any other document(s) pertaining to the indebtedness that is evidenced by this Promissory Note. Should either party be entitled to attorneys’ fees as the result of a dispute arising under this Promissory Note, the Fee Deferral Agreement or the Deed of Trust, that party shall also be entitled to interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, which shall begin to accrue as of the date of the demand and shall continue until paid.
7. No previous waiver, failure, or delay by City in acting with respect to the terms of this Promissory Note, the Fee Deferral Agreement or the Deed of Trust shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default, or failure of condition under this Promissory Note, the Fee Deferral Agreement or the Deed of Trust. A waiver of any term of this Promissory Note, the Fee Deferral Agreement or the Deed of Trust must be made in writing and will be limited to the express written terms of the waiver. All notices required or permitted in connection with this Promissory Note will be in writing and will be given at the place provided in the Deed of Trust for the giving of notices.
8. Borrower may make principal prepayments on any installment due date in addition to the regularly scheduled payment mentioned above with no penalty for such prepayment.
9. If any term or provision of this Promissory Note is determined to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, such illegal, unenforceable, or invalid provision or part thereof shall be stricken from this Promissory Note and such provision shall not affect the legality, enforceability, or validity of the remainder of this Promissory Note. If any provision or part of this Promissory Note is stricken in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the stricken provision shall be replaced, to the extent possible, with a legal, enforceable, and valid provision that is as similar in tenor to the stricken provision as is legally possible.
Time is of the essence with respect to every provision of this Promissory Note. This Promissory Note will be construed and enforced in accordance with California law, except to the extent that Federal laws preempt State law, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State Court within California having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by California or Federal law.
The contents and effect of the instruments are acknowledged, understood, and accepted in full by Borrower.

ITEM #: G.16
SUBJECT: CityWorks License Agreement
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of CityWorks software licenses in the amount of $71,000.
Staff Contact
Kayla Rodriguez, Public Works Management Analyst, 530-661-5902, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact
In FY2021/2022, the annual cost for CityWorks licenses increased from $34,500 to $56,000. In FY2022/23 the fees for the licenses required by the City will again increase to $71,000. The increase in cost will be absorbed in the current budget and no other appropriations will be required for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Background
The City has been utilizing CityWorks to track work orders and manage workload since 2002. The program is not only used for work order tracking; it is really an asset management platform that includes management of service requests, work orders, and assets. The City of Woodland and its staff are nationally recognized for their implementation of the Cityworks platform, which includes utilizing CityWorks Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to create customized workflows and tools.
IT has developed, using the CityWorks APIs, several applications and interfaces to facilitate cross-departmental communication. For example, the Finance department and Public Works staff can manage, in real time, the monthly utility shutoffs. Since 2020, IT has also been maintaining an interface between ESRI’s Citizen Reporter application and Cityworks, so staff from Public Works, Community Development, and the Police Department can manage citizen requests in a centralized location.
After meeting with CityWorks in 2020, it was determined that the City was not in compliance with the use requirements of the APIs, per our license agreement. Due to the investment in programing time, training staff, and the efficiencies these applications provide, staff determined what steps were necessary to become compliant. At that time, the City had the choice of either purchasing individual API licenses for the custom applications or to purchase the Premium Enterprise License Agreement (ELA), which gives the City access to everything that CityWorks has to offer. The cost difference was negligible, and the Premium ELA provided the City with additional advantages. As a further incentive, CityWorks agreed to ramp up the price over 3 years.
Discussion
The City has a long history of using the CityWorks program and is a premier user of CityWorks. City staff is well trained in using the program and all of the customization created internally. The program is not just utilized by Public Works, it is also utilized by Code Enforcement and PD.
Essentially, CityWorks serves as a platform underlying the City’s GIS system. It tracks locations and type work done; cleaning up homeless activity and blight, Sanitary Sewer Overflows, and leaking and broken water pipes.
This data is then used to prioritize repairs and larger CIP projects. CityWorks is being used to manage facility improvements and preventative maintenance. Public Works is even migrating the fleet division onto this platform, which will result in a savings when the existing fleet management program, Faster, is no longer
needed.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that Council approve entering into a license agreement with CityWorks for $71,000.

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council waive the first reading and read by title only an ordinance adopting by reference the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards (California Code of Regulations, Title 24), Consisting of the 2022 California Building Code Part 1 & 2; the 2022 California Residential Code Part 2.5; the 2022 California Electrical Code Part 3; the 2022 California Mechanical Code Part 4; the 2022 California Plumbing Code Part 5; the 2022 California Energy Code Part 6; the 2022 California Historical Building Code Part 8; the 2022 California Existing Building Code Part 10; the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code Part 11; the 2022 California Reference Standards Code Part 12, along with the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code; the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings; the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Housing Code; and the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Security Code, together with certain additions, insertions, deletions and changes thereto.

Fiscal Impact
There is no net new fiscal impact to the City associated with this amendment.
Background
Every three years, the various State and National Building Codes are revised to reflect the latest in building and fire safety standards. In 2022, the State’s Building Standards Commission approved for adoption the following codes: 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2022 California Electrical Code, 2022 California Mechanical Code, the 2022 California Plumbing Code, 2022 Energy Code, 2022 Historical Building Code, 2022 California Existing Building Code, 2022 California Reference Standards and 2022 California Green Building. Other codes being adopted by the City are the 1997 Uniform Housing Code, the 1997 Uniform Security Code, 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings and the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code with amendments.
According to California law, the 2022 California Building Standards Code applies to a building permit application submitted on or after the effective date to all occupancies throughout the state. The revised code will go into effect on January 1, 2023; the full text of all code material is available for public inspection in the Building Officials office.
Discussion
While the City of Woodland and other communities are required by state law to utilize the newest State adopted version of the codes, adoption of the codes (by reference) by local jurisdictions provides greater consistency among jurisdictions. This adoption process also allows for minor modifications (amendments) to the codes to reflect local conditions.
State Building Standards Law does not limit the authority of a City to establish more restrictive building standards than those contained in the code that are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological,
or topographical conditions. The Council could add amendments, as it sees fit, if the findings for the amendments comply with modifications based on the local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions.
Each separate amendment is composed of two parts: the findings and the text of the amendment. The findings are local justification for needing the amendment. These findings are sent to the Building Standards Commission and kept on file. The findings must be based upon local topography, climate, or geology.
Administrative amendments do not require findings. See Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance for findings to support amendments to the Standards.
All current City amendments have been reviewed for applicability with the new codes. With this adoption all former amendments have been rewritten, deleted, or revised to reflect the most current needs of the City of Woodland. Some of the most substantive amendments are:
Concrete Slabs: Minimum thickness is 4 inches, with a 5 sack mix, and reinforced with re-bar 18 inches on center each way. Soils having a Plasticity Index (PI) of 15 or greater shall be considered expansive requiring floor slabs to be designed for expansive soils.
Concrete Driveways: Minimum thickness is 4 inches, with a 5 sack mix, reinforced with #3 bar 18 inches on center each way, with a 3-inch gravel base.
Asphalt Paving: 3 inches of asphalt over 8 inches Class II aggregate base.
Water piping in or under Concrete Slabs: Not permitted unless specific conditions are met.
Residential roof mount solar: Pigeon proofing shall be required on all new residential development.
Every effort is being made to keep the amendments to a minimum; this makes for consistency among jurisdictions and helps streamline the building plan checking process.
The government mandated triennial code adoption can put a tremendous strain on local governments for staff training. Staff will be attending the annual training classes. All Building Division staff will be trained in the critical changes in the new code.
Public Contact
The formal adoption action takes place at a following Council meeting after a public hearing is held. Prior to that meeting there will be two public notices: December 20, 2022 and January 17, 2023. One copy of the 2022 California Building Standards Code, uniform codes, and proposed ordinance will be available for public inspection in the Office of the Building Official. Information on the new codes will be posted on the City’s website. Many classes and seminars are being taught around the state on the new codes and are available to architects, contractors, and the general public. Links to classes and seminars on the new codes will be posted on the city website.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that the City Council waive reading and read by title only, and introduction the Ordinance to adopt by reference the 2022 Edition of the California Building Standards (California Code of Regulations, Title 24), Consisting of the 2022 California Building Code Part 1 & 2, the 2022 California Residential Code Part 2.5, the 2022 California Electrical Code Part 3, the 2022 California Mechanical Code Part 4, the 2022 California Plumbing Code Part 5, the 2022 California Energy Code Part 6, the 2022 California Historical Building Code Part 8, the 2022 California Existing Building Code Part 10, the 2022 California Green Building Standards Code Part 11, and the 2022 California Reference Standards Code Part 12; the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code; the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings; the 1997
Edition of the Uniform Housing Code; and the 1997 Edition of the Uniform Security Code, together with certain additions, insertions, deletions and changes thereto.

The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases are declared unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective.
2. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published at least five (5) days prior to the meeting at which the proposed ordinance is to be adopted and shall post a certified copy of the proposed ordinance in the office of the City Clerk, and with fifteen (15) days of its adoption, shall cause a summary of it to be published, including the vote for and against the same, and shall post a certified copy of the adopted ordinance in the office of the City Clerk, in accordance with California Government Code Section 36933.

4. CEQA. The City Council finds that the changes made to the Codes are enacted to mitigate the threats posed to public peace, health and safety from earthquakes, high winds and fire.

Justifications KEY: Findings to Support Amendments to California Building Code, California Electrical Code, California Mechanical Code, California Plumbing Code and California Residential Code
A - This amendment is necessary for administrative clarification, and does not modify a building standard pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Sections 17958, 17958.7 and/or 18941.5. This amendment establishes administrative standards for the effective enforcement of the building standards in the City of Woodland.
B - This amendment is reasonably necessary because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions:
(i) Local soil conditions (clay soils) tend to be highly expansive, thereby subject to shrinking and swelling during seasonal drying and wetting conditions, and can cause damage to the foundation and other parts of a structure;
(ii) The minimum requirements set forth in the amendment is a more restrictive standard, which will better avoid damage due to the pumping action caused by local expansive soils;
(iii) The type and thickness of the materials set forth in the amendment are more restrictive and will better prevent damage, which can occur from the local condition of highly expansive soils in the City of Woodland.
C - This amendment is reasonably necessary because of the following local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions:
(i) City of Woodland is within an active seismic area;
(ii) Local soil conditions (clay soils) tend to be highly expansive (i.e. shrink—swell behavior);
(iii) The local climate is characterized by markedly delineated rainy and dry seasons, which tend to maximize the expansive
characteristics of the soil;
(iv) City of Woodland has hard water, which is corrosive to ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
(v) The ground water table is unusually high in many places; (vi) Therefore, restrictions on the installation of water piping in or under a concrete slab floor as set forth in the amendment is a more restrictive standard which will better prevent damage which can result from these local conditions described here in items (i) through (v).
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: December 20, 2022
ITEM #: H.19
SUBJECT: Extension of Urgency Ordinance Moratorium on Truck and Trailer Parking, Storage, and Overhaul
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council:1) Hold a public hearing to receive a staff report regarding the Urgency Ordinance adopted by City Council on November 15, 2022; 2) Issue a Report on Measures Taken to Study Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. _____ by a Four- Fifths Vote Extending Urgency Ordinance No. 1697 which imposed a 45-day Moratorium on the Establishment of Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial Zone within the City of Woodland.
Staff Contact:
Cindy Norris, Principal Planner, (530) 661-5911, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Fiscal impact will involve staff and City Attorney time to research and prepare ordinance documents and analysis related to truck and trailer parking, storage and overhaul for the Comprehensive Zoning Code update.
Background:
On November 15, 2022, the City Council adopted an Urgency Ordinance establishing a moratorium in the Industrial zone on the establishment of new or the expansion of existing Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Ordinance is effective for forty-five days, or until December 30, 2022, unless the City Council further extends it. The City Council is permitted to extend Ordinance No. 1697 for an additional ten months and fifteen days (One year) to November 15, 2023. The maximum time allowed for a moratorium is two years with extensions.
Existing City Zoning Code Provisions
The City’s existing Zoning Code regulates the location of truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair in the Industrial (I) zone, which are allowed as a permitted use where not adjacent to residential areas.
Existing Conditions
The City has been experiencing a significant increase in uses that provide for the parking, long term storage, repair and overhaul, of large trucks and trailers in multiple zones. In the Industrial/Light Industrial Flex (I/LIF) zone, the storage and parking of large trucks and trailers, and major repair is subject to either a zoning administrator permit or a conditional use permit. Outdoor storage (including trucks or trailers) in the I/LIF zone is only allowed as an accessory use on a site with a permitted primary business and structure, and all outdoor storage must be screened. The city has several on-going code enforcement cases regarding illegal truck storage facilities in the I/LIF zone that have occupied sites in a manner that is not consistent with current Zoning Code requirements.
In the I zone, the parking, storage, repair and overhaul are allowed as permitted uses where they are not
adjacent to residential areas. Such uses generally require larger amounts of land, and do not generally provide for site improvements, employ local workers, or provide point of sale revenue. In addition, businesses with large numbers of trucks degrade the city’s roadway network but have not been required to invest in funding future improvements. Further, these sites tend to be minimally improved due to the low cost to operate and they remove valuable land from the development stream. These facilities are often located in areas that have higher base tax rates, but provide no return. Further, such uses can present a negative image of existing and prospective desirable businesses, and damage the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the I zone, thereby harming the overall development potential in the community. The General Plan includes policy 2.A.2, which states that the City should maintain high expectations for development as land is a finite resource, given the City’s Urban Limit Line. Other related General Plan polices include policy 3.K.2, which provides that the city considers user fees or maintenance districts to address transportation infrastructure maintenance needs, policy
4.A.1, which states that the city shall focus on projects that will maximize long-term net revenues and diversify the city's economic base, and policy 4.B.3 which requires new development to pay its fair share of needed public facilities and infrastructure improvements and maintenance.
Recently, the city received interest in a larger truck parking facility (over 500 trucks) on a property located along the city’s eastern boundary. The extent of the number of trucks proposed would create a significant impact on the city in addition to existing trucking businesses. This type of facility often takes up large amounts of land area that is often located in areas that have higher base tax rates. These uses generally have very low employment and generate no sales tax. Therefore, it is staff's opinion that such uses do not promote the City’s goals of achieving aesthetic, fiscal health, or fostering economic growth in the community.
The proliferation of truck parking, storage, and repair and overhaul uses in Woodland, particularly in the industrial zones, poses a threat to public health, safety and welfare in that expansion of such uses depreciates the potential tax base, presents a negative image to existing and prospective desirable business, and damages the vitality and synergistic opportunities in the industrial district thereby harming the overall development potential in the community. The City did not anticipate the number and intensity of proposed inquiries in the industrial zones for truck parking, storage, repair and overhaul facilities, and through approval of the initial urgency ordinance, the City Council found that there are resulting impacts previously unanticipated by the City that should be further considered.
At this time, staff is recommending that the City Council consider extending the moratorium an additional ten (10) months and 15 days, to November 15, 2023 to prohibit truck parking facilities, including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities from locating in the Industrial District of the City of Woodland until the Comprehensive Zoning Code update is adopted. At that time, the moratorium would be null and void.
Discussion:
Urgency Ordinance
Ordinance 1697 imposed an immediate moratorium on the establishment of new Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities in the Industrial Zone in the City of Woodland. It set forth the reasons for the urgent need for the ordinance. It specifically stated that no application for a building permit, business permit, conditional use permit, or any entitlement for the establishment or expansion of a Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities facility shall be approved during the term of the moratorium established by the Ordinance.
The government Code allows the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance (Ordinance 1697) which became effective immediately and remains in effect for 45 days unless extended within those 45 days. An urgency ordinance requires a 4/5 vote for adoption and requires the City Council to make findings that the ordinance is being adopted for the immediate protection of public health, safety, and welfare. The intent of such an urgency ordinance would be for it to remain in effect only until the City Council adopts the Comprehensive Zoning
Code update to regulate Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities within the City of Woodland to prevent further over-saturation and to avoid impacts associated with such uses. The proposed ordinance extension would go into effect immediately and would remain in effect until November 15, 2023, unless further extended.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council:1) Hold a public hearing to receive a staff report regarding the Urgency Ordinance adopted by City Council on November 15, 2022; 2) Issue a Report on Measures Taken to Study Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities in the Industrial (I) Zone in the City of Woodland; and 3) Introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. _____ by a Four- Fifths Vote Extending Urgency Ordinance No. 1697 which imposed a 45-day Moratorium on the Establishment of Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal Facilities in the Industrial Zone within the City of Woodland.

On November 15, 2022, the Woodland City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1697, an interim urgency zoning ordinance that imposed a moratorium on the establishment of Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities in the Industrial zone in the City of Woodland. Ordinance No. 1697 was adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, which provides that an interim moratorium expires 45 days from the date of its adoption, unless the ordinance is extended by the Woodland City Council after additional notice and public hearing. The moratorium is set to expire on December 30, 2022.
Government Code Section 65858(d) requires that at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the moratorium, the Woodland City Council must issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition that led to adoption of the Ordinance. The conditions that led to adoption of the interim moratorium were listed in Ordinance No. 1697, and are still in existence as of the date of this report. The following is a report of the measures and actions that have been taken by the City and other governmental agencies since November 15, 2022, to alleviate the conditions set forth in Ordinance No. 1697:
During the course of the moratorium, City staff has continued to study the issue of regulation of Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, Including Truck and Trailer Parking, Park and Ride Lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities. These efforts have included studying how other cities have opted to regulate similar uses and evaluating goals and policies in the 2035 General Plan. The City continues to work on a Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, through which consideration of appropriate permitted, conditionally permitted and prohibited uses in Industrial zone is being analyzed with completion this effort anticipated on or before September 2023.

The City continues to study the issue of regulation of Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, including truck and trailer parking, park and ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities, which includes studying how other cities have opted to regulate similar uses, evaluating goals and policies in the 2035 General Plan.
The City continues to work on development of the Comprehensive Zoning Code update, through which consideration of appropriate permitted, conditionally permitted, and prohibited uses is being analyzed with completion of this effort anticipated on or before September 2023.
Section 5. The City Council hereby directs the Community Development Department to continue considering and studying possible means of regulating or prohibiting Truck and Trailer Service Repair and Overhaul; Parking Facilities, including truck and trailer parking, park and ride lots; RV, Boat, Auto, Truck and Trailer Storage; and Truck Terminal facilities.
Section 6. Ten days prior to the expiration of this Ordinance, the City Council shall issue a written report describing the measures that the City has taken to alleviate the conditions that led
to the adoption of this Ordinance.
Section 6. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the adoption of this Ordinance and establishment of a moratorium on truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facilities will have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance will maintain current levels of development and will not permit any truck and trailer parking, storage, and repair and overhaul facility that may have a significant impact on aesthetics or traffic levels. It is therefore exempt from any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
Section 7. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof
Section 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Ordinance and cause the same or a summary thereof to be published within fifteen (15) days after adoption in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in Woodland, California PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Woodland City Council this 20th Day of December, 2022 by the following vote.:

ITEM #: H.20
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Section
17.104.010 to Ensure Compliance with State Requirements
Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council: 1.) Receive the Staff Report; 2.) Conduct a public hearing; and 3.) Waive first reading and adopt an ordinance of the City of Woodland, amending Section 17.104.010 of Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code relating to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, and determining the ordinance to be exempt from CEQA.
Staff Contact:
Cindy Norris, Principal Planner (530) 661-5911, [email protected]
Fiscal Impact:
Required staff and City Attorney time to review state legislation and prepare the ordinance and accompanying documents.
Report in Brief:
The proposed ordinance amends Chapter 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code to impose new limits on local authorities to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADU) in compliance with the provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 as amended by recently approved legislation, Senate Bill 897 (SB 897) and Assembly Bill 2221 (AB 2221).
The new legislation provides additional fine tuning to the existing ADU ordinance. State law limits local review authority in a number of respects and requires that objective standards be provided. Local codes may not prohibit ADUs that are 800-square feet or less in size, under 16-feet in height, and have side and rear setbacks of four-feet. The new legislation provides allowance for additional building height for qualified ADUs, requires that an application for a new ADU be concurrent with an application for a demolition permit for a detached garage, and provides greater protection for permitting non-conforming structures. Since 2018, 38 ADUs have been approved with approximately 1/3 of the permits for Junior ADUs, 1/3 for accessory structure conversions, and 1/3 for new construction.
Background:
The City adopted amended ADU ordinance provisions in 2018 to comply with the then recently adopted state requirements. Legislation was passed to further reduce and streamline regulatory requirements and create greater certainty for ADUs.
In 2019, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law five bills that, among other things, amended Government Code section 65852.2 and 65852.22 to impose new limits on local authorities to regulate ADUs and JADUs. The new laws further streamlined the process for building new ADUs, to convert existing structures, and to allow multiple ADU units on both single family and multiple family properties. A key change was to exempt ADUs that are 750 square feet or less in size from impact fees.
On September 28, 2022, the Governor signed two bills, SB 897 and AB 2221, which further reduces the ability of a local agency to regulate ADUs and JADUs. The attached ordinance has incorporated the necessary amendments from the two recent bills as well as clean up of other minor changes. The new regulations become
effective as of January 1, 2023.
Discussion:
There are a number of amendments necessary to bring the local ordinance into full compliance with the state, which are discussed below:
Legislative Amendments
Key legislative amendments include the following:
Requires local agencies to approve or deny an ADU project within 60 days. If denied, the city must provide comments as to how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Section
17.104.010(E)(4)(b).
Clarifies that an ADU constructed in the front of a property must meet front yard setbacks. In the past, the state has required development of attached and detached ADUs to be in the rear and side yards. This change potentially allows ADUs within front yards to be subject to a 20-foot setback. Section
17.104.010(G)(3).
Allows unpermitted ADUs constructed prior to 2018 which are non-conforming to standards shall not be required to correct non-conformities prior to permit issuance, unless improvements are required to protect the public health and safety of the public or occupants. In addition, a permit cannot be denied on the basis of unpermitted structures elsewhere on the property that do not present a threat to the public health or safety and are not affected by the construction of the ADU. Section17.104.010)(E)(7). Clarifies that if a JADU shares a restroom with the existing single family home, the renter of the JADU will have access to the restroom through the home as well as have private access to the JADU. Section
17.104.010(C)(5)(d).
Extends the provision that an owner is not required to live on the property (unless a JADU is present). The extension runs until January 1, 2025. Section 17.104.010(F)(5). Allows an increase in peak height for detached ADUs on single family lots that meet the criteria of being within 1/2 a mile of a "major transit stop". A major transit stop is defined in Public Resources Code 21064.3, "as an existing rail or bus rapid transit station, a ferry terminal, an intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning or afternoon peak." There are no areas in Woodland that meet this definition and reference to this exception is not included in the ordinance. Therefore, the 16-foot height limit holds. A major transit stop is not the same thing as "public transit", defined as "a location including, but not limited to, a bus stop or train station where the public may access buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are available to the public." Any ADU within 1/2 a mile of public transit is not required to meet the minimum parking standards. Section
17.104.010(F)(2).
Additional Amendments
In addition, staff has updated and amended sections consistent with allowances provided in state law or to provide clarification.
The state allows the City to require a deed restriction on ADUs and JADUs to ensure that specific code provisions are followed in perpetuity. The applicant shall be responsible for recording a deed on a form provided by the City, prior to issuance of building permits. Section17.104.010(F)(8). The City has included a section on Utility Fees and Connection, consistent with state requirements. Impact fees are not required for ADUs less than 750 square feet. In some instances, however, separate connection or capacity fees may be charged. When a new detached ADU is built at the same time as a new single-family home, a separate utility connection and payment of any connection fees are required. Converted ADUs that are subject to building permit only review are not
subject to connection fees. Any connection or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden created by the ADU. Section 17.104.010.(H).
The City has included a provision to inform property owners that rental income information will be collected from time to time to satisfy a requirement from the state as imposed upon the City in the Housing Element to report on the status of ADUs going forward. Section 17.104.010(F)(9). The City has clarified application submittal requirements for ADUs. Section 17.104.010(E)(5).
Review Process and Requirements:
The review process as provided for in the ADU ordinance Section 17.104.010(E) is as follows:
Ministerial, Non-discretionary Review:
The ordinance, consistent with state provisions, provides that the review of proposed JADU and ADUs that are under 800 square feet and 16-feet in height, and meet 4-foot side or rear setbacks require only building permit review. Section 17.104.010(E)(2).
Ministerial ADU Permit Review:
ADU’s greater than 800 square feet up to 1,000 square feet requires a staff level ADU Permit. There are additional requirements applying to these larger units, including architectural design and screening considerations. Section 17.104.010(E)(3)(a).
Discretionary Review
Accessory dwelling units that do not conform to the objective standards or that are over 1,000 square feet, up to a maximum of 1,200 square feet in size, or three bedrooms require a zoning administrator permit review.
Section 17.104.010(E)(6).
Objective Standards - Parking and Architectural Requirements.
Within the boundaries allowed by the state, the ordinance includes regulatory requirements to minimize impacts on adjacent properties from the larger ADUs subject to an ADU permit or discretionary review. Objective standards include considerations such as exterior lighting, location of second story windows, and general compatibility. Section 17.104.010(G).
The legislation provides exceptions to parking requirements for properties within ½ mile of a public bus stop, bus station, transit station, or car share vehicle. The majority of the city qualifies under this definition. Section
17.104.010(G)(2). (See Attachment 3 for a current map of transit stops in Woodland).
ADU Development Progress:
Since 2018 when the first ADU Ordinance updates were enacted, the city has seen a significant increase in the number of ADU permits issued. Even before then, ADUs were transitioning from being viewed with potential concern to being viewed as an economical and viable option to providing additional housing opportunities.
Since 2018, a total of 38 ADU permits have been issued with 5 permits pending. - 2018 5 ADU permits approved
- 2019 4 ADU permits approved
- 2020 8 permits approved
- 2021 13 permits approved
- 2022 8 permits approved,5 pending
Approximately 1/3 of the permits issued are for JADUs (interior addition to existing home), 1/3 are for accessory structure conversions (existing detached garage or shed), and 1/3 for new construction. In addition, since 2014, a total of 170 multi-generational units have been constructed in Spring Lake subdivisions (attached ADU units). There is the likelihood that ADUs will be incorporated into future single-family and multi-family
developments.
Staff will continue to monitor ADU performance, as required by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), and will begin collecting data regarding use, tenancy, and rental information for all permitted ADUs. If ADU production begins to lag, staff will consider options and techniques to help facilitate ADU production. The three most critical elements to account for the increase in ADUs since 2018 include the relaxation of standards, reduction in impact fees for units 750 square feet or less, and by-right permitting requirements with reduced review timelines.
One area of discussion that has come up is in regard to the possible development of standard ADU building plans. However, staff are not confident that the development of such plans will result in a greater number of ADUs. Complexities involved with ADU permitting are varied and based on the conditions on each individual property. As example, the ADU type, lot configuration, available utilities, and existing structure condition are considered on a case by case basis. It is the opinion of staff that preparing standardized ADU plans may not assist most homeowners due to the variability of each situation. Staff will continue to work with homeowners on a case by case basis to ensure that each situation is adequately addressed and resolved for each customer in a timely manner.
The state has a provision that states that if the local agency has not adopted a revised ordinance and submitted to HCD by January 1, 2023, HCD has the ability to deem the local agency's ordinance null and void. However, with only one hearing in December, the city is unable to have a second reading until January 2023. There are no permits in review that are inconsistent with city and state requirements.
The city will be updating its ADU handout consistent with new state requirements. A preliminary informational handout has been included as Attachment 4.
Planning Commission Review
At their regularly scheduled meeting of November 17, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing concerning the proposed Ordinance amendment and voted unanimously (7 Ayes, 0 Noes) to recommend approval to the City Council. Minor text changes were proposed and approved by the Planning Commission to clarify the definitions for Efficiency Kitchen and Floor Area to be consistent with state requirements.
Environmental Review
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 65852.22. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State’s ADU law.
In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15303. The Class 3 exemption categorically exempts from CEQA, among other things, the construction and location of new, small structures and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Section 15303 specifically lists the construction of appurtenant accessory structures and garages as examples of activity that expressly falls within this exemption. Here, the ordinance is categorically exempt under the Class 3 exemption because the ordinance regulates the conversion of existing structures into, and the new construction of, ADUs and JADUs, which are, by definition, structures that are accessory to a primary dwelling on the lot. Moreover, the City Council finds that none of the “exceptions” to the use of the Class 3 exemption, set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2, apply here.
Public Noticing
In accordance with the requirements of Government Code section 65090, this item has been noticed in a newspaper of general circulation as a display ad.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1.) Receive the Staff Report; 2.) Conduct a public hearing; and 3.) Waive first reading and adopt an ordinance of the City of Woodland, amending Section 17.104.010 of Chapter 17 of the Municipal Code relating to accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units, and determining the ordinance to be exempt from CEQA.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WOODLAND AMENDING SECTION 17.104.010 OF
CHAPTER 17 OF THE CITY OF WOODLAND
MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS AND DETERMINING THE
ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
WHEREAS, the City of Woodland, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Law authorizes cities to act by ordinance to provide for the creation and regulation of accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) and junior accessory dwelling units (“JADUs”); and
WHEREAS, on September 28, 2022, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law Senate Bill 897 that, among other things, amended Government Code section 65852.2 and 65852.22 to impose new limits on local authority to regulate ADUs and JADUs; and
WHEREAS, the New ADU Laws take effect January 1, 2023, and if the City’s ADU ordinance does not comply with the New ADU Laws, the City’s ordinance becomes null and void on that date as a matter of law; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend its local regulatory scheme for the construction of ADUs and JADUs to comply with the amended provisions of Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22; and
WHEREAS, failure to comply with Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 (as amended) as of January 1, 2023 renders the City’s ordinance regulating ADUs and JADUs null and void, thereby limiting the City to the application of the few default standards provided in Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 for the approval of ADUs and JADUs; and WHEREAS, the approval of ADUs and JADUs based solely on the default statutory standards, without local regulations governing height, setback, landscape, architectural review, among other things, would threaten the character of existing neighborhoods, and negatively impact property values, personal privacy, and fire safety.
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the public testimony and agenda reports prepared in connection with this ordinance, including the policy considerations discussed therein, and the consideration and recommendation by the City’s Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §
15000 et seq.), the City has determined that the revisions to the Woodland Municipal Code are exempt from environmental review.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Woodland does ordain as follows:
Section 1. The recitals above are each incorporated by reference and adopted as findings by the City Council.
Section 2. Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 65852.22. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements the State’s ADU law.
In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15303. The Class 3 exemption categorically exempts from CEQA, among other things, the construction and location of new, small structures and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another. Section 15303 specifically lists the construction of appurtenant accessory structures and garages as examples of activity that expressly falls within this exemption. Here, the ordinance is categorically exempt under the Class 3 exemption because the ordinance regulates the conversion of existing structures into, and the new construction of, ADUs and JADUs, which are, by definition, structures that are accessory to a primary dwelling on the lot. Moreover, the City Council finds that none of the “exceptions” to the use of the Class 3 exemption, set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2, apply here. Specifically, the City Council finds that the ordinance will:
(1) Not result in the construction of ADUs or JADUs within a particularly sensitive environment because these accessory structures will necessarily be built on a lot already developed with a primary dwelling;
(2) Not result in a potentially significant cumulative impact because these accessory structures will necessarily be built on a lot already developed with a primary dwelling;
(3) Not result in a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances because the construction of small structures or conversion of existing structures are accessory to a primary dwelling on sites that are already be developed;
(4) Not result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway because no residential property is located adjacent to a state scenic highway and new structures will be required to comply with the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance as appropriate;
(5) Not be located on a hazardous waste site included on any list compiled pursuant to § 65962.5 of the Government Code because no property zoned residential is located on a hazardous waste site; or
(6) Not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource because any demolition of a potential historic structure will be required to comply with the City’s Historical Preservation Ordinance.
Section 3. Section 17.104.010 of Chapter 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code is hereby amended and restated as provided in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect 30 days following its adoption.
Section 5. The City Clerk shall either: (a) have this ordinance published in a newspaper of general circulation within 15 days after its adoption or (b) have a summary of this ordinance published twice in a newspaper of general circulation, once five days before its adoption and again within 15 days after its adoption.
Section 6. The City Clerk shall submit a copy of this ordinance to the Department of Housing and Community Development within 60 days after adoption.
Section 7. The City Council hereby directs staff to prepare, execute and file with the Yolo County Clerk a Notice of Exemption within five working days of first reading of this ordinance.
Section 8. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid, such invalidity has no effect on the other provisions or applications of the ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this extent, the provisions of this resolution are severable. The City Council declares that it would have adopted this resolution irrespective of the invalidity of any portion thereof.

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) FAQs December 2022
See Municipal Code Section 17.104.010 Accessory Dwelling Units for comprehensive information regarding ADUs and JADUs.
What is an ADU?
An ADU, also known as a Second Dwelling or
Granny Flat, is a completely self -contained housing
unit located on the same lot as another home, called
the primary dwelling. ADUs are considered accessory
because they are typically smaller than the primary
dwelling and are not the main use on the lot. An ADU
can be detached, attached, or a conversion of an
existing space (like a garage). Section 17.104.010(C)(1) What is a JADU?
A JADU is a housing unit which is completely
contained within the space of an existing or proposed
residence, which is no more than 500 square feet and
which meets certain bathroom, kitchen and entrance
requirements. Section 17.104.010(C)(5)
Where can I build an ADU?
ADUs and JADUs are permitted in all zoning districts
that allow for any single-family or multifamily
residential use, including the corridor mixed use
districts if they allow for any residential use. ADUs
may be constructed on any lot developed with an
existing primary dwelling, or on a lot where a primary
dwelling will be con structed at the same time as the
ADU. ADUs can be attached to the primary dwelling
or detached in a freestanding building. Section
17.104.010(D) and (F)(1)
What are the review requirements for an ADU?
An ADU that is less than 800 square feet in size, under 16-feet in height, with side or rear setbacks of at least 4-feet may be allowed with building permit review
only.
An ADU that is between 800 and 1,000 square feet in
size is subject to an ADU Permit in addition to
building permit review.
An ADU between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet in size,
or three bedrooms, or that does not meet the objective
design standards require discretionary review through
a zoning administrator permit. Section 17.104.010(E)(3) What is the maximum size of an ADU?
Detached ADUs may be up to 1,200 square feet of
livable space. Attached ADUs may be up to either
1,200 square feet or 50% of the size of the primary
dwelling, whichever is less. For example, a 2,000 -
square-foot house may have an attached ADU of up
to 1,000 square feet, or a detached ADU of up to 1,200
square feet. Section 17.104.010(G)(1)
What are the setback requirements for an ADU?
ADUs are allowed in the side and rear yards but are
not allowed in a front yard setback. In the side and
rear yards, ADUs must be set back at least four feet
from all propert y lines. An ADU must conform to a
20’ front yard setback, or the front setback imposed
by the underlying zone, whichever is greater. Section
17.104.010(G)(3)
Do I need a permit to build an ADU?
Yes, depending on the type and size of your ADU, you
may need a building permit only, or a building permit
and ADU permit. Larger ADUs or those that require
exceptions from standards require a discretionary
zoning administrator permit. Section 17.104.010(E)
Can I convert an existing structure to an ADU?
Yes, existing structures such as garages, workshops,
guest quarters, or portions of a primary dwelling may
be converted to an ADU. Some upgrades may be
required for structures that were not originally meant
to be inhabited to meet Bui lding Code requirements.
Sections 17.104.010(E)(2) (a & c) and (F)(7)
How much parking does an ADU require?
One off -street parking space is required for non -

Fiscal Impact:
The applicant has paid for all application processing costs. The Tentative Subdivision Map provides 35 units over a five-lot multi-family R-M site. This project will pay Citywide Development Impact Fees (DIF) for 32 of the units (3 ADUs under 750 sq/ft incur no impact fees) and are estimated to total approximately $737,910.
Background:
On November 10, 2022, the project applicant, Cronin Properties LLC, submitted a planning application PLNG 22-00066 for a proposed 5-lot Residential Subdivision Map located on a 1.71-acre site (APN 065-221-005, 006, 007,008, 009, 010, 011, 012, 013) at the northwest corner of California Street and Elizabeth Way. The site is zoned Multi Family Residential (R-M) which allows 8.1-19.9 dwelling units an acre. The site is currently undeveloped. Along with the Tentative Subdivision Map, the proposal includes the lot configuration, site layout, landscape, and architectural plans for a 35-unit residential development project, including 3 Accessory Dwelling Units.
The development site was originally part of the larger Cross Court Athletic Club Development Subdivision Map #2774, which included a previously approved Planned Development Overlay (PUD 78-A) on March 10, 1978. The current proposed development project and Planned Development Overlay will supersede the previous PUD 78-A to provide updated guidelines that fit the current development proposal.
On December 1, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the proposal. The Commission voted 5 Ayes, 0 Noes, with two members absent, to recommend approval of the Cross Court Commons development project as proposed. One member of the public voiced concerns at the Planning Commission meeting about potential construction-related noise impacts associated with the proposed development on existing homes located on California and Elizabeth Way. Staff worked with the applicant to address this concern as outlined in the following “Public Comment” section of this staff report.
