CLOSED SESSION
A. CONFERENCE WITH LEGAL COUNSEL—ANTICIPATED LITIGATION
Significant exposure to litigation pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section
54956.9. No. of potential cases: Two.
A point has been reached where, in the opinion of the legislative body of the local agency on
the advice of its legal counsel, based on existing facts and circumstances, there is a
significant exposure to litigation against the local agency. The existing facts and
circumstances exposing the City to litigation include the following:
On September 3, 2019, the City Council adopted the Clean Energy Choice Program with the
second reading of the related ordinances planned for the September 17, 2019, Council
meeting. On September 13, 2019, the City received correspondence from legal counsel
representing the Utility Workers Union of America Local 132 alleging violations of conflict-
of-interest rules related to the ordinances, which was followed by notification of a formal
complaint being filed with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”)
against Councilmember Pease. The September 13, 2019, letter is on file with the City Clerk.
On September 20, 2019, the City requested formal advice from the FPPC on behalf of
Councilmember Pease and a majority of the City Council regarding the application of the
commission’s statutes, rules and regulations concerning the City’s adoption of the Clean
Energy Choice Program. On October 12, 2019, the City was notified that the FPPC would
not be providing advice as requested.

regulations concerning the City’s adoption of the Clean Energy Choice Program. On

requested. That November 14, 2019, letter is on file with the City Clerk.

SUBJECT:ADDITION OF THE PROPERTY AT 858 TORO STREET TO THE MASTER
LIST OF HISTORIC RESOURCES AS “THE VIRGINIA LEVERING
LATIMER HOUSE”
RECOMMENDATION
As recommended by the Cultural Heritage Committee, adopt a Resolution (Attachment A)
adding the property at 858 Toro Street to the Master List of Historic Resources as “The Virginia
Levering Latimer House.”
DISCUSSION
Background
Eric and Jaqueline Blair (Applicants) have requested
that the property at 858 Toro Street be designated as
a Master List Resource in the City of San Luis
Obispo’s (City) Inventory of Historic Resources, as
“The Virginia Levering Latimer House” (Property).
The Property is currently designated as a
Contributing List Resource and is located within the
Mill Street Historic District.
On January 27, 2019 the Cultural Heritage
Committee considered this request and found that
the property meets eligibility criteria for historical
listing to a degree that qualifies it for designation as
a Master List Resource, and recommended that the
City Council designate the Property as a Master List
Resource in the City’s Inventory of Historic
resources.
Site and Setting
The Property is at the southeast corner of Toro and Mill Streets, within the Mill Street Historic
District (Attachment B). The district was developed at the turn of the 20th Century and has a high
concentration of historic structures. The majority of the historic resources date from the early
20th Century, the district’s primary period of historical and architectural significance, though
several resources also date from the late 19
th Century (see Attachment C).
Figure 1: 858 Toro Street
Packet Page 23
Item 4
The site is developed with a single-family dwelling (see Figure 2 below). Though no
construction date is noted in City records,1 the footprint of the dwelling first appears in a
Sanborn Map of the area published in 1891. In 1983 the Property was designated as a
Contributing List Resource. The Applicants have provided an evaluation of the Property and its
eligibility for historic listing, prepared by James Papp of Historicities, LLC (Papp)
(Attachment D).
Building Architecture
As described in the Papp evaluation, the dwelling embodies the Italianate style.2 The City’s
Historic Context Statement describes the style as one that began in England as part of the
Picturesque Movement, and in the United States followed the informal model of the simple
Italian farmhouse, adapted into an indigenous style (see Attachment E). The architect and builder
of the dwelling are unknown.3 The architectural characteristics of the building are more fully
discussed in the Papp evaluation submitted with this application, and summarized in the
Evaluation section of this report, below.
The Latimer Family4
The Papp report outlines the history of the Latimer Family who, by 1860, relocated to California
from Maryland and Virginia. In 1878 Benjamin Griffith (“B.G.”) Latimer, Jr. moved from Santa
Clara County to San Luis Obispo, and by the 1900 census Virginia Levering Latimer, his mother,
resided at 858 Toro Street (her husband having died in Santa Clara County in 1886), and lived
there until her death in 1907. The dwelling is most closely associated with Virginia Latimer
during the building’s period of significance.

Item 4
Evaluation of Eligibility for Listing
To be eligible for listing as an historic or cultural resource, the resource must exhibit a high level
of historic integrity, be at least 50 years old, and meet one or more of the eligibility criteria
described in Historic Preservation Ordinance § 14.01.070 (see Attachment G). As provided in
§ 14.01.050 of the Ordinance, the most unique and important resources and properties in terms of
age, architectural or historical significance, rarity, or association with important persons or
events in the City’s past may be designated as “Master List Resources.”
Architectural Criteria
Character-defining features of the Italianate Style are described in the City’s Historic Context
Statement to include:
Symmetrical façade
Low pitched hipped or flat roof
Widely overhanging eaves with large decorative brackets
Tall narrow windows, commonly arched or curved above
Elaborated window crowns
One-story entry porch, often supported by square posts with beveled corners
Centrally placed square tower or cupola
As described and depicted in pages 8-11 of the Papp evaluation, the Latimer House exhibits all
of these features, albeit with a “more economical or streamlined feeling” common to later
Italianate examples. A hipped roof, overhanging bracketed eaves, tall narrow windows, and a
symmetrical façade at the main entry set the primary form of the building. A one-story porch
frames the entry, and a parapet recalls the original balustrade on the roof.
Historic Criteria
The property is, during its period of significance, most closely associated with the Latimer
family, as described in pages 4-5 of the Papp evaluation.Though the family’s background and
history provide an important glimpse into early California and local history, the evaluation
provided does not indicate a relevant association with singular and important historical events
and patterns or significance to the community rising to a level that qualifies the property as a
“Master List Resource” under Historic Criteria in the Historic Preservation Ordinance
§ 14.01.070 (B)..
Integrity
Apart from a 1905 “lean-to” addition at the rear of the house, replacement of the roof balustrade
with a parapet, loss of porch column capitals and bases, new sash windows (within the original
surrounds), and a limited number of new window openings (on secondary elevations), the
building retains a high degree of integrity of its external features.5 Some original features are
evident in the building interior, but the interior has been renovated to accommodate continued
residential use. The building occupies its original site, in the same location on the property, and
has changed very little from its original appearance, and thus to a large degree was found to
satisfy the criteria for Integrity set out in the Historic Preservation Ordinance § 14.01.070 (C).
5 Papp, pp. 11-12
Packet Page 25
Item 4
Conclusion
The information in the Papp evaluation prepared for this application, documenting the
architectural character and integrity of the house, provides a basis for finding that the dwelling
satisfies Evaluation Criteria for Architectural Style and Design and for Integrity described in the
City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance §§ 14.01.070 (A) & (C) , to a degree that qualifies it for
designation of the Property as a Master List Historic Resource.
Policy Context
The recommended action on this item is supported by historical preservation policies set out in
section 3.0 of the Conservation and Open Space Element of the City’s General Plan, and with
procedures and standards for listing of historic resources set out in the City’ s Historic
Preservation Ordinance §§ 14.01.060 & 14.01.070.
Public Engagement
Public notice of this hearing has been provided to owners and occupants of property near the
subject site, and published in a widely circulated local newspaper, and hearing agendas for this
meeting have been posted at City Hall, consistent with adopted notification procedures. Public
notice was also previously provided for the Cultural Heritage Committee meeting of January 27,
2020.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended action in
this report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec.
15378.

Adding the Property to the Master List of Historic Resources will have no fiscal impacts.
Historic designation of the Property itself has no bearing on City fiscal resources. As a Master
List Resource, however, the Property would be eligible for historic preservation incentives under
the “Mills Act,”which is under consideration by subsequent application (HIST-0048-2020). A
separate fiscal analysis would be reviewed by the City Council should the property proposed to
be added to the Mills Act list of properties.
Packet Page 26
Item 4
ALTERNATIVES
1. Decline to designate the property as a Master List Resource in the Inventory of Historic
Resources based on finding that the Property is not considered to be sufficiently unique or
important, or found to satisfy Evaluation Criteria for listing to a degree warranting such
designation. The Property would remain in the Inventory as a Contributing List Resources.
2. Continue consideration of the request for additional information or discussion.

5.2.4 Mill Street Historic District
Setting
Established in 1987, the Mill Street Historic District is a residential neighborhood bounded by
Pepper and Toro Streets on the east and west, and Peach and Palm Streets on the north and south.
The Mill Street District is part of one subdivision, The Town of San Luis Obispo, recorded in
1878, although the area informally has been referred to as Fremont Heights. For its land area,
Mill Street Historic District has the highest concentration of historic structures of the City’s five
Historic districts. It is a relatively small district, with an area of 20 acres or 0.03125 square
miles, and as of January of 2010 had 84 listed historic properties.
The Mill Street district was developed at the turn of the 20th century, with the majority of the
existing buildings dating from the 1900s to 1920s, the district’s primary period of historical and
architectural significance. The district was developed on high ground with originally very wide
(100 ft) lots in response to both the seasonal flooding and fires that plagued early development in
San Luis Obispo. A few of these wide lots remain in the 1300 block of both Mill Street and Palm
Street, but the majority of them were later re-subdivided into 50-60 foot wide lots.
Site Features and Characteristics
Common site features and characteristics include:
A. Trees spaced at regular intervals along
the street (especially on Mill Street)
B. Distinctive Camphor Trees lining both
sides of Mill Street between Johnson and
Pepper, a key entry corridor for the
district
C. Consistent street yard setbacks of 20 feet
or more
D. Coach barns (garages) recessed into rear
yard
E. Finish floors raised 2-3 above finish
grade
F. Front entries oriented toward street, with
prominent walk, stairs and entry porches.
G. Front building facades oriented parallel
to street
Architectural Character
Developed during a population boom in San Luis Obispo circa 1900s-1920s, the district’s
residential architectural styles reflect the prosperity of its residents. While older and more
elaborate residences are located on the 1300 block of both Palm and Mill Streets, the majority of
1344 Mill Street, South Elevation
Packet Page 31
Item 4
48
historic homes were more modest residences. The close proximity to the court house meant that
Mill Street was home to many county employees, including county assessors, attorneys, and
county clerks. The Mill Street District encompasses many different architectural styles, including
revival styles popular at the turn of the twentieth century. These styles include Neo-classic Row
House, Victorian (with elements of Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Stick and Eastern Shingle),
Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, and Craftsman Bungalow, with many homes borrowing
architectural details from more than one style. Most buildings in this district were built by local
builders, including E.D. Bray and James Maino and were influenced by architectural pattern
books of the time period.
Predominant architectural features include:
A. One- and occasionally two-story
houses
B. Mostly gable and hip roof types
C. Traditional fenestration, such as
double-hung, wood sash windows,
ornamental front doors, wood screen
doors
D. Ornamental roof features, including
prominent fascias, bargeboards,
prominent pediments or cornices
E. Painted wood or stucco surface
material, including siding and molding
Individually Contributing Elements in the Mill Street District
Not all historic resources in the Mill Street
Historic District were built during the
district’s period of significance. Those
buildings date from the late 1800s, generally
do not exhibit the signature architectural
elements described above, but do contribute
to the historic character of San Luis Obispo
in their own right based on age, architectural
style or historical association. By virtue of
their significance, these resources also merit
preservation.
For example, the Buckley House at 777
Johnson Avenue is a converted carriage
house built in the 1880s and is significant for
its design, specifically the board and batten siding, of which there very few examples are left in
the City. The Shipsey House at 1266 Mill Street, a National Register property, is an example of
Eastern Stick and significant for both its architectural style and its association with William
1264 and 1270 Palm Street, South Elevation
777 Johnson Avenue, East Elevation

Item 4

Shipsey, attorney and mayor of San Luis Obispo from 1898 to1901.
Non-Contributing Elements in the Mill Street District
Non -contributing buildings are those that both do not meet the criteria outlined above and have
not achieved historical significance. Most of the post—1950 contemporary buildings in the
district fall into this latter category.
Non-contributing architectural styles, materials or site features include:
A. Aluminum sliding windows
B. Rectilinear, “boxy” shape
C. Metal or other contemporary material
siding, or “faux” architectural
materials or features.
D. Unarticulated wall surfaces
E. Non-recessed or offset street entries to
buildings

ITALIANATE
The Italianate style began in England as part of the Picturesque Movement. As used in the United
States, this style generally followed the informal model of the simple Italian farmhouse, but was
adapted into an indigenous style. This style did not enjoy the widespread popularity of other
Victorian-era styles, and relatively few Italianate buildings were built.
Character-defining features include:
x Symmetrical façade
x Low pitched hipped or flat roof
x Widely overhanging eaves with large decorative brackets
x Tall narrow windows, commonly arched or curved above
x Elaborated window crowns
x One-story entry porch, often supported by square posts with beveled corners

DISCUSSION
Report in Brief
Following the City of San Luis Obispo’s (City) Pavement Maintenance Plan (Pavement Plan),
staff intends to advertise a slurry sealing project and provide maintenance and striping
improvement to the streets listed in Attachment D. Also included in this bid package are
maintenance and striping plans for Emerson Parking Lot and Bob Jones Bike Path (Additive
Alternate A and B). See attachments B and C for Project Plans and Specifications, including
additive alternates.Staff does not recommend the addition of “Cool Pavement” toppings to be
used in this Project.
In coordination with neighborhood and Active Transportation Committee input, designating two
new Neighborhood Greenways and re-branding an existing bike boulevard into a Neighborhood
Greenway are recommended. Portions of Pismo Street will undergo a “Complete Street” re-
striping.
This Project will be funded in Fiscal Year 2020-21. Allocated funds for this Project are estimated
to be sufficient.
Packet Page 43
Item 5
Background
On April 14, 1998, the City Council adopted the City’s Pavement Plan. In 2009, the Pavement
Plan was updated to provide additional emphasis on arterial streets. A key element of the
Pavement Plan is a rotating and methodical approach to ensuring all areas of the City receive
regular preventative and/or corrective paving maintenance. The City implements this rotation by
performing maintenance in two neighborhood Pavement Areas in one year, and then focusing on
arterial street work in the second year, thereby alternating between neighborhood areas and
arterials bi-annually. Last summer, streets maintenance funding was used for the rehabilitation
of the arterial, South Broad Street, which included asphalt replacement and striping
enhancements. Improvements to both pedestrian and cyclist access in the form of curb ramps and
buffered bike lanes were also completed.
2020 Roadway Sealing Project (Base Bid)
This year, pavement management work is planned for local neighborhood streets in Areas 4 and
5 in the form of roadway sealing.
Roads to be Sealed and Striping
Area 4 surrounds the downtown core, bounded by Santa Rosa Street, Highway 101 and South
street. Core downtown streets between Marsh Street and Pacific Street are generally excluded as
these streets are included in Area 9. Area 5 consists of the City’s southern streets, bounded by
Madonna Road and stretching east until the end of Prado Road.
Packet Page 44
Item 5
In anticipation for this year’s roadway sealing project, the City’s Street Maintenance team has
applied crack sealing treatment and spot repairs within Areas 4 and 5. This preparatory work
increases the slurry seal’s long-term effectiveness and reduces overall construction costs.Slurry
seal is a cost-effective treatment that extends pavement life up to 8 years and prevents more
expensive maintenance work in the future. Applied as a thin pavement sealant, it shields the
pavement beneath from ultraviolet damage, minimizes water intrusion, and provides a new
wearing surface for vehicles. This preventative maintenance treatment is less costly and more
environmentally beneficial than street re-paving.
Street pavement condition is rated on a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best possible
condition of pavement. This rating scale is referred to Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
Completion of the Project will allow the City to maintain its established goal of a PCI of at least
70. The current Citywide pavement condition is 74. In addition to roadway maintenance, this
Project will also complete roadway striping and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. The striping
improvements will make significant improvements to sustainable transportation, a Major City
Goal. These “Quick Build”improvements are described in more detail in the below section on
Complete Streets Design Elements.
Parking Lot and Bicycle Pathway Maintenance (Project Additive Alternative A and B)
In addition to the Area 4 and 5 slurry sealing, staff identified cost benefits to incorporating
parking lot maintenance and bicycle pathway maintenance projects identified within the 2019-21
Financial Plan. The Emerson Park parking lot adjacent to both Emerson Park and the Parks and
Recreation Administration Building were identified as ready for maintenance. Similarly, the Bob
Jones Bike Path between Prado Road and Los Osos Valley Road was identified for maintenance
in 2020. These maintenance projects would use the same slurry sealing treatment as the
neighborhood streets, and economies of scale will be realized through overall lower unit costs for
a larger scale maintenance treatment operation. These projects are incorporated as additive
alternates and will be recommended for award if costs are within the available budget.
Complete Street Design Elements
This project includes several Complete Street enhancements as recommended in the City’s
Bicycle Transportation Plan and Traffic Safety/Vision Zero program. The annual pavement
management program provides excellent opportunities for rapid implementation of other “Quick
Build”transportation improvements—smaller projects that can be installed more efficiently and
at a lower cost when included as part of a larger paving contract.“Quick Build” projects allow
the City to immediately improve safety and mobility for road users of all ages and abilities, often
with lower-cost temporary materials, while awaiting funding for more substantial permanent
improvements several years from now.

Item 5
Neighborhood Greenways
Neighborhood Greenways within Project Limits
The BTP identifies two new Neighborhood Greenways — previously referred to as “Bicycle
Boulevards”—within Pavement Area 4: Islay Street Neighborhood Greenway; and, Beach/King
Neighborhood Greenway. The Islay Street Neighborhood Greenway is planned from Nipomo to
Toro Street. This route provides east-west access to three intersecting neighborhood greenways
(existing Morro Street, planned Nipomo Street and planned Toro Street). Existing volumes and
speeds along this segment of Islay make it ideal for a neighborhood greenway.
Packet Page 46
Item 5
The 2013 BTP identified the Beach/King Neighborhood Greenway in order to provide a low
stress north/south through route for bicyclists connecting the downtown core with neighborhoods
to the south and west of Broad Street.In 2019, the City’s Active Transportation Committee made
a formal recommendation to modify the Beach/King route to an alignment that primarily follows
King and Nipomo Streets. The purpose for the amended route is to provide an alignment that
better connects to neighborhoods north of downtown (Beach Street does not go further north than
Marsh Street). The proposed greenway route also provides improved connectivity to Hawthorne
Elementary and crosses High Street at Hutton, an existing school crossing, which provides an
opportunity to focus greenway crossing improvements on an existing route to school. Overall,
the modified King/Nipomo greenway route will provide a continuous, efficient connection from
Meadow Park to north of Downtown. Attachment A includes a resolution formally adopting this
modified alignment for the King/Nipomo greenway.
Existing traffic volumes along Nipomo/Hutton/King are within comfortable ranges for a
neighborhood greenway; however, existing vehicle speeds along Nipomo were found to be
slightly higher than the ideal range recommended for a low-stress bikeway where cyclists share
travel lanes with vehicles. For this reason, speed humps will be installed as part of this project at
various locations along Nipomo to bring motor vehicle speeds to a more appropriate level.
Not included in this paving contract, are several unsignalized intersections throughout the City
that are currently being designed for pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements. Each
intersection will include the addition of high-visibility crossing markings, signage, and
installation of Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) systems—push button activated
crossing beacons, similar to those already installed at Marsh/Garden and Morro/Hotel SLO.
These improvements will be completed under a separate construction contract and will be
scheduled in parallel with the summer paving program. These pedestrian and bicycle
improvement crossings are planned for the King/Nipomo Greenway (South/King &
High/Hutton), two locations along the Islay Greenway (Islay/Broad & Islay/Osos) and several
other priority intersections (Tank Farm/Poinsettia, Johnson/Sydney, Monterey/Buena Vista).
In addition to the new Islay and King/Nipomo neighborhood greenways, the existing Bill
Roalman Bicycle Boulevard on Morro Street will be formally branded as a Neighborhood
Greenway. Each of the greenways within 2020 sealing area will include custom signage and
pavement markings to convey these as priority streets for cyclists and pedestrians. Stop signs
will be reoriented at the Pismo/Morro and Pismo/Nipomo intersections to further prioritize
efficient bicycle and pedestrian crossings along each greenway.
In an additional effort to improve intersection safety and incorporate placemaking features into
these projects, select intersections along each greenway will have painted bulbouts that will be
filled in with murals and landscaped planters as part of a planned public art project to be
implemented shortly after the summer paving program.In collaboration with the City’s Parks
and Recreation Department, a public call to artists will be distributed in the coming months to
invite proposals from local artists. The bulbout public art component meets criteria for the Minor
Public Art Approval process and will follow the Public Art Program Guidelines for call for
artists and jury process for final approvals. The painting of the bulbouts will not commence until
completion of the sealing project.

See Attachment E for Examples of Neighborhood Greenway Branding Elements.
Implementation of the two new neighborhood greenways will add 1.2 miles to the City’s low-
stress bicycle network.

Pismo Street Complete Street Reconfiguration
Pismo Street from Johnson Avenue to Higuera Street is a one-way residential collector street
consisting of one vehicle lane, a bike lane, and parking on both sides, except for the segment
between Santa Rosa and Broad—which consists of two westbound vehicle lanes and parking on
both sides. Multilane streets often induce higher travel speeds and exhibit higher collision rates
than comparable streets with a single lane in each direction. Pismo Street exemplifies this trend
quite clearly; despite a lower posted speed limit, the one-way two-laned segment of Pismo Street
experiences twice the collision rate of the nearby one-lane segments.
Transportation staff has reviewed existing and projected traffic levels for Pismo Street and have
determined that a one-lane configuration would accommodate existing and future auto traffic
demands, while offering the potential to reallocate street space in a way that better supports
multimodal connectivity and safety. For this reason, staff is proposing to restripe Pismo Street
between Santa Rosa and Broad to include one vehicle travel lane, street parking on both sides,
and a buffered bike lane. This proposed configuration reduces exposure for pedestrians at
intersection crossings and removes an existing gap in the crosstown bike lane network, providing
a continuous westbound bike lane from Johnson Avenue (near San Luis Obispo High School) to
Higuera Street.

Neighborhood Traffic Management
There are two neighborhoods located within Pavement Area 4 where Neighborhood Traffic
Management (NTM) projects had previously been initiated: High Street and south Chorro Street.
In 2018, the formal NTM program was put on hold due to a reprioritization of funding and a
planned update to the program’s structure. As a result, both the High Street and Chorro Street
NTM efforts were suspended temporarily. This has been particularly frustrating for the High
Street neighborhood, where average vehicle speeds continue to exceed the City’s established
residential speed targets by more than 10 miles per hour.
The Roadway Sealing Project provides an opportunity for lower-cost interim treatments to
provide immediate traffic calming relief until permanent solutions can be developed when the
NTM program is analyzed for policy improvements and fully funded again. While ultimately,
these neighborhoods will remain at the top of the NTM program queue and final improvement
recommendations are still expected to be developed in collaboration with neighborhood
representatives, speed humps and minor striping improvements along High Street and South
Chorro Street are included as part of this Roadway Sealing Project to address excessive vehicle
speeds until further improvements can be made.
Packet Page 49
Item 5
An informal ballot was distributed to the High Street NTM neighborhood in January 2020 to
gauge general support within the neighborhood for the interim NTM improvements proposed as
part of roadway sealing project. Ballot responses found that that of the ballot participants, 66%
were in support of these interim traffic calming measures. It should be noted that these interim
measures do not preclude further adjustments and refinement when the NTM program is funded
again in the future.
The 2020 Roadway Sealing Project Includes “Quick Build” Elements totaling -- $150,000
Consistent with the Major City Goal for active transportation, and the principles of the
Organization of the Future. Transportation staff have included “Quick Build” elements in this
project as a cost and construction efficiency. The elements are noted below. When Council
considers revisions to its Capital Improvement Project budget for this Financial Plan, on April 7,
2020, all “Quick Build” projects will be noted and at this time are anticipated to include this
Paving Project, Bicycle and Pedestrian Crossing Improvements, Advance Planning and Design
and Further Traffic Safety/Vision Zero Implementation at a total investment estimated to be over
$700,000 at the time of this report’s writing.
1. 2+ miles of new neighborhood greenway installations, with unique pavement markings and
signage to convey priority
2. Two-way cycle track to facilitate High Street offset street crossing along King/Nipomo
Greenway
3. Hi-vis “ladder style” crosswalk markings at 24 crosswalks
4. Upgrading Chorro Street quick build traffic circles, filling in corner islands with decorative
pavers
5. Pismo Street road diet (Santa Rosa to Broad), reduces street from two to one motor vehicle
travel lane, providing width for buffered bike lanes
6. Install painted bulbouts along neighborhood greenways, along High Street, and at
intersections near Hawthorne Elementary. Bulbouts along neighborhood greenways to
include public artwork (Morro, King-Nipomo, Islay)

Item 5
Cool Pavement Coatings Analysis
City staff explored the potential incorporation of “cool” pavement coatings into this Project. The
high-albedo coating, typically grey, is placed over the traditional slurry seal, which reflects more
sunlight from the roadway surface and decreases the heat island effect found in urban areas. Staff
researched cool pavement coatings from sources including the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory and federal guidance documents. The research described an increase in cost and
greenhouse gas emissions as a result of the manufacture of cool pavement coatings. Further, a
50-year lifecycle analysis considering maintenance and initial cost of application could not
provide a financial or environmental savings. Cool pavements were also found to make
pedestrians less comfortable on hot days due to light reflection, even though the pavement itself
felt cooler to the touch. Crucially, installation of cool pavements was found to be cost prohibitive
at approximately $0.85 per square foot, triple the cost of the initial slurry seal application and not
achievable within the current available budget for the planned work.
Staff recommends the continued monitoring of advancements of cool pavement products and
limited testing in the City until the products mature. Staff plans to develop a pilot project to
implement cool paving products for Council’s funding consideration in a future financial plan.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
1. Annual maintenance for public roadways, including streets resurfacing, was identified and
included as a Major City Goal
2. On June 4, 2018, City Council approved the Project’s funding for the 2019-21 Financial
Plan.
3. On November 21, 2019 the Active Transportation Committee made the recommendation to
Council concerning the bikeway improvements described as part of the Annual Slurry
Sealing Project and to amend the BTP to include the new alignment of the
Nipomo/Hutton/King Neighborhood Greenway.
Policy Context
Per the October 2018 Purchasing Policy Update to the July 2015 Financial Management Manual,
Council approval is required for Public Projects that cost over $175,000.
Public Engagement
1. On November 13, 2019, an “open house” event (including games and food trucks)was held
at Emerson Park informing the public of the project and its scope, focusing largely on the
complete street elements proposed within the neighborhoods. Notification of the event
consisted of an advertisement in The New Times, a mailer to residents within the project
area, flyers posted within the neighborhood and social media posts. Over 70 people attended
and actively participated using this new style of public “meeting”.
2.On November 15, 2019, a “pop-up” style outreach event was held at Hathorne Elementary
School to inform faculty, staff, families and the neighborhood of the planned improvements.
3. An informational web page (Resealing2020.com) was created to provide background and
updates on the different Project elements. The intent is that the webpage can continue to be
used as a tool to provide information for the public throughout construction of the Project.
Packet Page 51
Item 5
4. Residents along the High Street corridor participated in an informal ballot to gauge support
for the interim striping and speed humps proposed along High Street. The results indicated
that 66% of those who responded were in support.
CONCURRENCE
This Project has been reviewed and has concurrence from the Utilities, Fire, and Community
Development departments. The Active Transportation Committee has reviewed the proposed
pedestrian and cyclist improvements and provided its recommendation to Council. High Street
residents participating in the NTM were informally polled in regard to the proposed
improvements, which they concurred with by a margin of 66%.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to section 15301 of the
CEQA Guidelines (Existing Facilities) since it is a maintenance and replacement project. A
Notice of Exemption will be filed through the Community Development Department.
The complete street elements are consistent with the Land Use and Circulation Element as well
as the Bicycle Transportation Plan, therefore consistent with the environmental review of those
documents. While Council is asked to amend the Bicycle Transportation Plan to modify the route
of the Beach/King Bicycle Boulevard to the Nipomo/Hutton/King Neighborhood Greenway, this
alignment change is not considered substantially different than what was previously approved
during environmental review. The route alignment simply shifts the route from one existing
street network to a parallel existing street. In addition, the types of complete street improvements
proposed as part of this Project would all be considered categorically exempt from CEQA in the
category of Existing Facilities, maintenance activities. Therefore, no additional environmental
review is triggered.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: Yes Budget Year: 2019-21
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
This proposed project is recommended to be awarded prior to the new fiscal year with work not
starting before July 1, 2020 when the Fiscal Year 2020-21 funding is available. Current funding
is pending the recommended changes in the 2019-21 Capital Improvement Plan appropriations
due to the escalating cost of construction. This project’s funding need will be included in a
portfolio of projects that require funding revisions and presented to the Revenue Enhancement
Oversight Committee on March 18, 2020 and forward to Council for consideration on April 7,
2020. This re-appropriation will augment the project’s available funding as it is considered of
high priority.
Packet Page 52
Item 5
If funding is not sufficient to support all of this project’s needs, only portions of the contract
would be awarded to reflect the work that can be completed with the available budget. In order to
allow for project implementation during the summer months, and to lessen impacts to the
traveling public, staff is recommending this project be approved for advertisement now.
There is currently a balance of $592,165, pending budget transfers from recently completed
projects to support this work. Furthermore, the 2019-21 Financial Plan programmed funding of
$1,798,567 for Fiscal Year 2020-21. Due to reductions in anticipated revenue from the Road
Maintenance and Rehabilitation Act (RMRA), additional funding has been programmed for
Council consideration with the request to re-appropriate project funding from the 2019-20
Capital Improvement Plan budget on March 17, 2020.
Due to the number of multi-modal transportation improvements proposed in this plan, the
Bicycle Facility Improvements Account (90572) will also contribute funding towards this
project. This account has a current balance of $142,868 and will receive additional funding of
$100,000 in Fiscal Year 2020-21.
There are currently no funds in the Pedestrian and Bicycle Pathway Maintenance account
(1000032) but it will receive $79,000 in Fiscal Year 2020-21. These funds will be used for the
maintenance of the Bob Jones Bike Path identified in this project.
The Parking Lot Maintenance account (1000031) possesses a current balance of $18,275. The
Emerson Parking Lot maintenance is anticipated to cost $11,000. Sufficient funds exist for this
project.

ALTERNATIVES
1.Deny Authorization to advertise.The City Council may choose not to authorize project
advertisement. Staff does not recommend this alternative because this is the ideal time to
advertise paving projects for summer construction. Additionally, advertising the project now
will position the City to begin work as early as possible and minimize impacts to the
traveling public.
2.Deny adoption of resolution to modify the Bicycle Transportation Plan.The City Council
may choose not to amend the Bicycle Transportation Plan. Staff does not recommend this
alternative as the Active Transportation Committee has recommended this amendment and
that the amended alignment provides better bicycle connectivity in support of the City’s
major city goal of sustainable transportation.

SUBJECT:REQUEST TO ADVERTISE FOR BROAD STREET/WOODBRIDGE
PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON, SPECIFICATION NUMBER 91609
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications for the Broad Street/Woodbridge Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
(PHB), Specification No. 91609; and
2. Authorize staff to formally advertise for bids; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract if the lowest responsible bid
is within the publicly disclosed funding amount of $406,436.
DISCUSSION
Background
On December 2, 2014 the City Council adopted the General Plan Land Use and Circulation
Element (LUCE) which included the Broad Street Area Plan. The Broad Street Area Plan
includes street changes along Broad Street between South Street and Orcutt Road to improve
connectivity and public safety for all street users. A recurring theme voiced at public hearings
and workshops for the Broad Street Corridor Plan and the past two budget goal-setting processes
was the need for safe pedestrian and bicycle crossings along this high traffic volume corridor -
since there are currently no protected pedestrian crossings along the 0.7-mile stretch between
South Street and Orcutt Road.
Packet Page 61
Item 6
The 2017-19 Financial Plan included a new capital improvement project to install a
pedestrian/bicycle crossing along the Broad Street corridor. In 2018, staff collected data,
prepared studies and analyzed warrants at multiple potential crossing locations along the corridor
and ultimately determined that (a) none of the intersections along this stretch of Broad Street met
warrants for installation of a full traffic signal at this time, (b) two intersections
(Broad/Woodbridge and Broad/Lawrence) currently met warrants for installation of a pedestrian
hybrid beacon (PHB), and (c) of these two locations, the Broad/Woodbridge intersection was the
preferred location for installation of a new crossing if funding only allows for crossing
improvements at one intersection at this time.
Broad/Woodbridge High Volume Pedestrian Crossing
The intersection of Broad/Woodbridge currently has the highest pedestrian crossing volumes of
any of the uncontrolled intersections studied along the Broad Street corridor due to the
connectivity to Meadow Park to the west, and the neighborhood retail destinations on the east
side of the street. This location also provides good connectivity to the surrounding street network
on both sides of Broad Street. The City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan identifies Woodbridge as a
future neighborhood greenway, which further supports the value of installing crossing
improvements at this location. As future funding becomes available, staff will evaluate additional
crossing improvements at Broad/Lawrence and other intersections as recommended in the Broad
Street Area Plan.
Project Plans and Specifications are provided for reference as Attachment A (Council Reading
File). With approval of this request to advertise for bids, construction of this project could
potentially begin by fall of 2020 after considering typical lead times for signal poles and
equipment (averaging six months from order to delivery).
Policy Context
South Broad Street Area Plan was adopted by Council along with the approval of the Land Use
and Circulation Element Update Project on December 2, 2014. Funding for design and a portion
of construction costs of the Broad Street/Woodbridge crossing was approved in the FY2017-19
and FY2019-21 Financial Plans.
Public Engagement
Following the robust community engagement process for budget setting, a neighborhood meeting
was held in July of 2017 where neighbors continued to voice support for pedestrian
improvements, particularly a signalized pedestrian crossing. Neighborhood liaisons have had
continued communication with City staff. It should also be noted that during the public outreach
activities conducted during fall of 2019 for the City’s Active Transportation Plan, one of the
most common requests expressed by residents was the need for a controlled crossing point along
the south Broad Street corridor.
Notice of the planned project and an informational flyer on PHBs were mailed to all owners and
tenants within the adjacent neighborhood. Additional communication has been made with
property owners directly adjacent to proposed construction, where construction may impact their
property.
Packet Page 62
Item 6
CONCURRENCE
Project plans were reviewed by City Fire Department staff to assess potential concerns to
emergency response providers related to the PHB system. The Fire Department did not have any
concerns associated with these plans. As part of the FY2019-21 Financial Plan development, the
City’s Active Transportation Committee recommended the Broad/Woodbridge crossing as a
priority project for this budget cycle.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Broad and Woodbridge PHB is consistent with the September 2014 LUCE Update EIR,
which incorporated the South Broad Street Area Plan, and therefore has been analyzed pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This project would not result in new or
more severe environmental impacts than were identified in the LUCE Update EIR, nor will it
have an effect on mitigation measures previously adopted upon certification of the LUCE Update
EIR.

2019-20 Changes to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Appropriations
The 2017-19 and 2019-21 Financial Plans included funding for planning and design of the
proposed project but did not fully fund construction. An additional $173,436 is required to fully
fund project construction. Due to the escalating cost of construction, this funding need will be
included in a portfolio of projects that require funding revisions and presented to the Revenue
Enhancement Oversight Committee on March 18, 2020 and forward to Council for consideration
on April 7, 2020. Staff is requesting authorization to advertise the project for construction bids
ahead of this review; however, award of the contract will be contingent on approval of the
changes in the 2019-21 CIP appropriations. If the additional funding is not approved and project
bids exceed the publicly disclosed funding amount, other funding strategies will be evaluated,
and staff will return to Council for authorization to proceed with alternate funding plans.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may choose not to authorize advertising for construction prior to consideration of
the 2019-21 CIP appropriations scheduled for Council’s consideration on April 7, 2020.
However, this is not recommended because the improvements will provide a much-desired
crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists to address a longstanding community need along this
high-traffic corridor.

SUBJECT:AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE AND AWARD RAILROAD SAFETY
TRAIL TAFT TO PEPPER PROJECT, SPECIFICATION NO. 91375
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve plans and specifications for the Railroad Safety Trail Taft to Pepper Project
(Project), Specification No. 91375 and authorize staff to formally advertise for bids; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to award the construction contract if the lowest responsible bid
is within the publicly disclosed funding amount of $5,070,600; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to award the construction management contract if the lowest
responsible bid is within the publicly disclosed funding amount of $603,750; and
4.Authorize the City Manager to award the railroad services contracts for flagging and
permitting, not to exceed the publicly disclosed funding amount of $110,000.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Railroad Safety Trail (RRST) has long been one of the highest-priority multimodal
transportation projects in the City of San Luis Obispo (City)—a crosstown, dedicated facility for
pedestrians and bicyclists connecting the southern City limits north to California Polytechnic
State University (Cal Poly). Over the past two decades, approximately 40 percent of the total
four-mile trail has been completed and existing portions of the trail are enjoyed by over 1,000
pedestrians and cyclists per day. This Project proposal includes construction of the next segment
of the RRST from Taft Street to Pepper Street. It segment was included in the 2013 Bicycle
Transportation Plan (Attachment A) and supports the current Major City Goal to improve
Sustainable Transportation in the City.
The RRST extension from Taft Street to Pepper Street will encompass about 0.4 miles from the
existing trail alignment on the west side of California Boulevard, near Taft Street, south along
the existing bridge crossing over Highway 101, then shifting away from California Boulevard
behind the California Highway Patrol (CHP) property to a new bicycle/pedestrian bridge
crossing over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and connecting Phillips Lane to Pepper Street.

Item 7
Caltrans Active Transportation Program Grant
In 2015, the City applied for a Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the
Project and was awarded $3.24 million in funding towards Project construction. Over the past
five plus years, the Project progressed with planning, design, environmental review, permitting
and right-of-way acquisition to the current “shovel-ready”stage. After diligent negotiations with
UPRR, the State, and a private property owner, all property acquisition necessary to construct the
Project were completed in summer of 2019. At this time, staff has completed the Plans,
Specifications and Estimates and the Project is ready to be advertised for construction.
Project Scope of Work
The construction package attached to this Report includes plans and specifications for
construction of the RRST between Taft Street and Pepper Street. The designs include the
following elements:
a.Taft Street to Highway 101 Overcrossing –Separated Class I bicycle/pedestrian trail
along the west side of California Boulevard from Taft Street to the Highway 101
overcrossing.
b.Highway 101 Overcrossing –On-street Class IV protected two-way bikeway (“cycle
track”) along the existing California Boulevard bridge crossing over Highway 101. A
metal railing physically separates cyclists from motor vehicles and the existing sidewalk
serves pedestrian travel along the bridge.
c.Highway 101 Overcrossing to Phillips Lane –Separated Class I bicycle/pedestrian trail
shifts behind the CHP headquarters connecting to the Phillips Lane cul-de-sac.
d.Phillips Lane to Pepper Street –A new bicycle/pedestrian bridge connects Phillips
Lane on the north side of the UPRR tracks south to Pepper Street.
e.Other Elements
1. ADA curb ramps and path-of-travel upgrades at the Highway 101 bridge.
2. Widening of the Highway 101 offramp at California Boulevard to provide additional
queue storage (a requirement for Caltrans approval)
3. Resurfacing and re-striping along California Boulevard from Taft Street to the
Northbound Hwy 101 On- and Off-ramps.
4. Lighting system for the Class I trail.
Construction plans, specifications,and engineer’s estimate are provided as City Council Reading
Files as Attachment B thru D.
Next Phases of the Railroad Safety Trail Project
Upon completion of the Project, several gaps will remain along the RRST, totaling
approximately 1.5 miles. With completion of planned and pending development within the
Orcutt Area, the segment of the RRST between Tank Farm Road and the Jennifer Street Bridge
is anticipated to be fully connected within the next few years. This leaves about a one-mile gap
between Pepper Street and the Jennifer Street Bridge to complete the four-mile continuous
crosstown route. The preferred alignment and type of facility to complete this final RRST gap
will be identified in the City’s Active Transportation Plan, which is currently being drafted, and
is scheduled for completion later in 2020.
Packet Page 67
Item 7
Public Engagement
This Project was vetted by the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee in 2011 and has continued to
be identified as a top project priority each year by the Active Transportation Committee (ATC).
The project was included in the 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan and 2014 General Plan
Circulation Element, each of which included several public engagement opportunities. During
public outreach activities conducted in fall of 2019 for the upcoming Active Transportation Plan,
completion of the RRST was commonly expressed as one of the highest priority projects for
community members.
Policy Consistency
This project is identified in the RRST Plan, adopted in 2002, the General Plan Circulation
Element, and the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP), adopted in 2013.
Construction of this RRST segment furthers the adopted 2019-21 Major City Goal: Multi-Modal
Transportation - Prioritize implementation of the Bicycle Master Plan, pedestrian safety, and the
Short-Range Transit Plan.
CONCURRENCE
The Project has been reviewed by the ATC and is a top priority for the committee to achieve the
City’s Sustainable Transportation Major City Goal. Updates have been provided to the ATC
throughout the project process.
The project came before City Council on August 20, 2019 to approve the transfer of funds from
the Transportation Impact Fee Program to the project. The RRST project was included in the
Citywide Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) program, and staff requested the transfer of
$2,894,163 in total from the Citywide TIF account to the RRST project account to fund the
property acquisition ($496,000) and construction funding shortfall ($2,398,163).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An initial study of this Project was conducted, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was
filed to the County of San Luis Obispo on May 19, 2017. All construction plans conform to those
mitigations found in the MND.

The total construction cost for this project is estimated at $5,784,350, which includes
construction costs and contingencies related to this bid package ($5,070,600), construction
management and materials testing ($603,750) and related railroad flagging and permit review
costs, ($110,000). Construction Management support for this project will be procured via a
Request for Proposals (RFP) process through the City’s existing on-call construction
management contracts.
To date, $748,717 has been used or encumbered for property acquisition, environmental review
and project design.
ALTERNATIVES
The Council may choose not to authorize advertising for construction at this time. However, this
is not recommended because there is adequate funding for the project, the improvements will
provide a much-desired expansion of the Railroad Safety Trail to Cal Poly for bicyclists and
pedestrians, and this project will set up a critical link for the Railroad Safety Trail to connect
with Downtown San Luis Obispo. Further, if a construction contract is not awarded by June
2020, the City would risk forfeiture of the $3.24 million in Caltrans ATP grant funds.

SUBJECT:AWARD OF ISLAY HILL PARK PLAYGROUND RENOVATION,
SPECIFICATION NO. 91654
RECOMMENDATION
1.Adopt a Resolution entitled “A Resolution of the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo,
California, approving an Amendment to the Islay Hill Park Playground Renovation Project
and related budgetary appropriations”(Attachment A); and
2. Award a construction contract (Attachment B) to R.E. Schultz Construction, Inc. in the
amount of $334,705 for the Islay Hill Park Playground Renovation Project; and
3. Appropriate $38,521 from the Local Revenue Measure Fund balance to the project account
and approve a budget transfer of $500,000 from the Playground Equipment Annual Asset
Maintenance account to the project account.
DISCUSSION
Background
On November 5, 2019 the City Council authorized inviting bids (Attachment C) for the Islay Hill
Park Playground Renovation Project (Project), which is intended to replace playground
equipment past its useful life.
Three bids were received and publicly opened on January 30, 2020 (Attachment D). All of the
bids were over the Engineer’s Estimate of $270,000. Upon review of the bid forms from the low
bidder Papich Construction Co., Inc. (Papich) staff determined that the bid from Papich was non-
responsive and did not meet the minimum Contractor Qualifications stated within the Notice to
Bidders. Papich was notified on February 6, 2020 of the determination of non-responsiveness
and provided five days to prepare written materials in response to staff’s determination
(Attachment E). Papich did not respond to the City’s February 6, 2020 correspondence, therefore
staff recommends rejecting Papich’s bid and awarding to the second low bid R.E. Schultz
Construction, Inc. The table below summarizes the bid results.

Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
This project was approved by City Council on November 5, 2019 and authorized for advertising.
Policy Context
Per the October 2018 Purchasing Policy Update to the July 2015 Financial Management Manual,
City Council approval is required for Public Projects that cost over $175,000. Additionally, per
the approval of the staff report at City Council on November 5, 2019 the project must be
awarded by City Council if the construction contract is higher than the publicly disclosed
funding amount of $300,000.
Public Engagement
Public engagement was done throughout the design of the project. Several public outreach events
were conducted to discuss the park design. Additionally, staff reviewed and discussed the layout
at two Parks and Recreation Commission Meetings.
CONCURRENCE
There is concurrence from the Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Community
Development Departments through their review and approval of the design.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from environmental review under Section 15301 Class 1 (existing
facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines because the project
proposes to replace the existing playground with similar equipment.

Project Cost
The Islay Hill Park Playground Renovation project was originally identified with funding for
design in the 2017-2019 Financial Plan, Section E –Capital Improvement Plan, page E2-10
through E2-11. The 2019-2021 Financial Plan appropriated $500,000 for this project in FY2019
to fund construction. This project is 100% funded by the Local Revenue Measure.
There is currently a balance of $500,000 available to the project in the Playground Equipment
Replacement account (1000033) and $11,479 remaining from the design phase (project account
91654). An additional $38,521 of project funding is recommended to be allocated from the Local
Revenue Measure Fund. The Local Revenue Measure Fund currently has a balance of
$1,528,000 that has yet to be encumbered.
ALTERNATIVES
Deny Award and Fund Allocation.The City Council could choose to deny approval to award
and the allocation of additional funds. This is not recommended because this project is critical to
provide compliant playground equipment to the park.

Department Name:Public Works
Cost Center:5301
For Agenda of:March 17, 2020
Placement:Consent
Estimated Time:N/A
FROM: Shelly Stanwyck, Assistant City Manager/Interim Public Works Director
Prepared By:Michael J. McGuire, Senior Civil Engineer
SUBJECT:MARSH STREET BRIDGE REPLACEMENT, SPECIFICATION NO. 90480
RECOMMENDATION
1. Award a contract to Souza Construction Inc. in the amount of $4,335,572 for the “Marsh
Street Bridge Replacement, Specification No. 90480”(Attachment A); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to issue construction contract change orders in excess of
$100,000 if within available budget; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to amend the Construction Management Services Agreement in
excess of $50,000 if within available budget.
DISCUSSION
Low Bid Qualification and Recommended Award to Souza Construction Inc.
On February 20, 2020, bids were opened for the Marsh Street Bridge Replacement project
(Project). Only one bid was received and was under the Engineer’s Estimate of $4,480,000. The
bid from Souza Construction Inc. of San Luis Obispo, at $4,335,572 is the apparent low bid.
Engineer’s
Estimate
Souza
Construction
$4,480,000 $4,335,572
Staff reviewed the bid documents, legal requirements, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(DBE) goal documentation, and concluded that the apparent low bidder provided the lowest cost
responsive bid. Staff therefore recommends awarding the construction contract to Souza
Construction Inc. for the Project.
Traffic Impacts of Marsh Street Bridge Project and Public Outreach
1.Plan to Address Needed Traffic Disruption
For many months, the replacement of the Marsh Street Bridge will result in the temporary
disruption to downtown traffic flows –traffic will be detoured around the project site. As noted in
the figure below, Marsh Street, from the west side of the bridge (midblock) to the intersection of
Santa Rosa Street, will be closed to all forms of through traffic but with access to the businesses
located adjacent to the project.
Packet Page 89
Item 9
During construction, vehicular, bus, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic on Marsh Street, will follow a
detailed traffic detour plan (see below). The plan diverts traffic around the bridge construction site
while still providing access and parking to the businesses adjacent to the project. Given the one-
way directional flow of Marsh Street, beginning at Marsh Street and Highway 101, directional
signage will be placed to alert motorists well in advance of the approaching detour and offer detour
routes to “get around the construction”. Modifications to traffic signals, street striping, and the
removal of parking on some blocks, will assist in keeping traffic flowing throughout the downtown
corridor (including cyclists) and will be closely monitored during construction with adjustments
made to address unexpected impacts.
Signage will also play an important factor in alerting the public that the businesses adjacent to the
Marsh Street Bridge will remain open during construction. The portion of Marsh Street accessible
from the intersection of Osos Street to the bridge will be converted to two-way traffic with 30-
minute free parking available for customers.
Public Outreach & Information
With a project that will have a major impact to the residents and visitors of San Luis Obispo, a
public outreach campaign is of utmost importance. The Project includes funds for communications
and Verdin Marketing, a consultant as part of the Construction Management team, will provide that
service. To notify residents, visitors and businesses about the start of this Project, a Fact Sheet has
been developed (Attachment C). Further, the City’s Contract Communications Coordinator has
posted on social media with general information about the upcoming project with photos and the
detour plan from the Fact Sheet. A broader communication plan to effectively disseminate Project
status, upcoming impacts, and details is being developed by Verdin. This plan will inform the public
of the Project benefits and the impacts and will be distributed via the City’s social media platforms,
Downtown SLO and television/radio outlets, among others. Upon Council’s authorization of award,
staff will immediately work with the Contractor to set a project start date, and that information will
be shared with the public via the communications plan that will be available and regularly updated
through the City’s e-notification system and web updates.

Previous Council Action
On November 19, 2019, the City Council authorized the execution of extension agreements and
temporary construction easements with the property owners adjacent to the Marsh Street Bridge.
On September 17, 2019, the City Council approved staff to advertise the Project for construction
bids and authorized the City Manager to award a construction contract to the lowest responsible
bidder (Attachment B).
On July 16, 2019, the City Council approved a Request for Proposals and authorized staff to
advertise for Construction Management Services for the Project.Council also delegated contract
award authority to the City Manager.
On October 16, 2018, the City Council appropriated an additional $1,406,160 in grant funding to
match the total Project amount allocated by Caltrans.
On August 21, 2018, the City Council approved the Temporary Construction and Permanent
Easement Agreements with the property owners adjacent to the Marsh Street Bridge.
On January 9, 2018, the City Council, in closed session, authorized staff to enter into property
acquisition negotiations with the properties adjacent to the Marsh Street Bridge.
On May 2, 2017, the City Council approved adoption of the Final Environmental Impact Report.
On January 22, 2013, the City Council approved the replacement of the Marsh Street Bridge.
Policy Context
As the City Council approved the advertisement for construction of this Project and the bridge
replacement continues to be a high City priority, staff requests the Council approve the award of
a contract so that construction work can begin in April 2020.
Per the 2015 Financial Management Manual, Page 225-2, Council must authorize change orders
in excess of $100,000. Staff are recommending that Council delegate this authority to the City
Manager to minimize risks of procedural delay to the project. Change Orders would only be
authorized if the increases are within available budget.
Per the 2015 Financial Management Manual, Page 255-2, Council must authorize amendments to
consultant service contracts in excess of $50,000. Staff are also recommending that Council
delegate this authority to the City Manager to minimize risks of service gaps to the Project
should unforeseen construction delays or extensions occur related to above referenced contract
change orders. Amendments would only be authorized if the increases are within available
budget.
Public Engagement
The Project was identified and included in the 2015-17 Financial Plan and identified as a Council
Goal.

CONCURRENCE
Construction has been approved to proceed by the California Department of Transportation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Council approved adoption of the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) on May
2, 2017. In addition to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval with the FEIR,
environmental permitting was completed in December 2019 with the Department of Fish &
Wildlife, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Army Corps of Engineers and the State
Historic Preservation Office.

Marsh Street Bridge Replacement, Specification No. 90480
The Project was approved as part of the 2015-17 Financial Plan. Currently, there is $6,559,048
in the project account, enough to fund the construction award and other associated costs of this
project identified in the table. This project is 89% funded by the Highway Bridge Program
(HBP) grant funding with a 11% City Local Revenue Measure match. Any funding leftover
upon the completion of the Project will be returned to Caltrans.
Packet Page 92
Item 9
ALTERNATIVES
Deny or defer executing the contract.The City Council could choose to not authorize or defer
construction. Staff does not recommend this alternative. The City would be unable to proceed
with the construction phase. Construction would be delayed until 2021 with additional costs for
renewed easements with the adjacent property owners and extension of the contract for
Construction Management Services. Due to this significant delay, Caltrans could suspend the
project funding and require reimbursement for funds already spent.

ARTICLE IV INDEMNIFICATION: The Contractor shall indemnify, defend with legal
counsel approved by City, and hold harmless City, its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without
limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with the Contractor’s negligence,
recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of work hereunder or its failure to
comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such loss or damage
which is caused by the sole or active negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Should
conflict of interest principles preclude a single legal counsel from representing both the City
and the Contractor, or should the City otherwise find the Contractor’s legal counsel
unacceptable, then the Contractor shall reimburse the City its costs of defense, including
without limitation reasonable legal counsel fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of
litigation. The Contractor shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against the City
(and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) with respect to claims determined by
a trier of fact to have been the result of the Contractor’s negligent, reckless or wrongful
performance. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are
intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California
and will survive termination of this Agreement.
The Contractor obligations under this section apply regardless of whether such claim,
charge, damage, demand, action, proceeding, loss, stop notice, cost, expense, judgment,
civil fine or penalty, or liability was caused in part or contributed to by an Indemnitee.
However, without affecting the rights of the City under any provision of this agreement, the
Contractor shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless the City for liability
attributable to the active negligence of AGENCY, provided such active negligence is
determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent
jurisdiction. In instances where the City is shown to have been actively negligent and where
the City’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the
obligation of the Contractor will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not
attributable to the active negligence of the City.
ARTICLE V.It is further expressly agreed by and between the parties hereto that should
there be any conflict between the terms of this instrument and the bid of said Contractor,
then this instrument shall control and nothing herein shall be considered as an acceptance
of the said terms of said bid conflicting herewith.

CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the use of $250,000 from Water Fund
Unreserved Working Capital to increase the available construction contingency for the
completion of the Disinfection Byproduct Reduction and Pipe Gallery Improvements Project,
Specification No. 1000044.
DISCUSSION
Background –Existing Approved Water Quality Project
To enable the City of San Luis Obispo (City) to maintain water quality regulatory compliance
related to disinfection byproduct levels and address the corrosion issues within the pipe gallery,
the City Council approved advertisement of the Disinfection Byproduct Reduction (DBR) and
Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Pipe Gallery Improvements Project (Project) on October 22, 2019
(Attachment B). The Engineer’s Estimate for the project was $1,817,000. The Project
contingency was budgeted at 25 percent due to the complexity of the proposed pipe gallery
improvements and consequence of failure. Total Project costs were $2,674,250 which included
$516,750 for construction and construction management contingencies.
The award of the Project was approved by the City Manager Report (Attachment C) on
November 18, 2019 with a construction contract totaling $1,990,700. Because the bid exceeded
the Engineer’s Estimate, $173,700 of available project contingencies were utilized to make up
the difference.
Project Site Challenges and Need for Increased Contingencies
Construction began on December 7, 2019. Since then, the Project has encountered unforeseen
changed site conditions (unexpected rock and concrete removal) and other operational challenges
resulting in the construction of a treated water flow bypass required to sustain prolonged WTP
shutdowns. To ensure adequate funding is available for the completion of the Project, staff is
recommending the City Council approve an increase to the Project construction contingency in the
amount of $250,000 from Water Fund, Unreserved Working Capital (Attachment D).

Item 10
Previous Council or Advisory Body Actions
The City Council approved advertisement of the Project on October 22, 2019. Consistent with
Council direction, the award of the Project was approved by the City Manager Report on
November 18, 2019.
Policy Context
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Resources Control Board
prescribe regulations that limit certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems,
including disinfection byproducts, specifically total trihalomethanes, or TTHMs.
Consistent with the General Plan, Water and Wastewater Management Element, Policy A2.2.1,
the City utilizes multiple water resources to meet its water supply needs. Operationally, this
means the City uses a blend of water sources to meet the community’s water needs –from
Salinas, Whale Rock, and Nacimiento Reservoirs.
Public Engagement
The City posts its Water Quality Consumer Confidence Report (Water Quality Report) annually on
the City’s webpage and mails a printed copy to all customers. Public water systems are required by
state and federal law to notify users of any exceedance of any water quality standard and any other
noncompliance events affecting their water system.
CONCURRENCE
Public Works staff concurs with this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per categorical
exemption 15301(b), Existing Facilities. The Community Development Department issued a
Notice of Exemption on September 9, 2019.

DISCUSSION
Background
Disinfection Byproduct Reduction
The City’s Water Treatment Plant (WTP) meets the community’s daily water demands using a
combination of surface water sources that include Whale Rock, Salinas (Santa Margarita Lake),
and Nacimiento Reservoirs. Following the initial treatment processes, chlorine is added to the
water before distribution to the community to prevent any harmful microbial regrowth from
occurring. Water systems that use chlorine for this type of disinfection are required by federal and
state law to sample for disinfection byproducts on a regular basis at specific locations. Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) are a group of substances known as disinfection byproducts which
form when chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic material in water. The highest levels
of TTHMs typically occur where water age is the greatest, such as in water tanks with poor mixing.
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory requirements for maximum
TTHM contaminant levels became more stringent in 2013 due to elevated concerns that there may
be associated health risks with prolonged ingestion.
Following the more stringent EPA regulations, the City’s water sample results for the 2nd quarter
of 2015 showed TTHMs at levels of 82.1 parts per billion (ppb) which was above the maximum
contaminant level (MCL) of 80 ppb. When routine monitoring indicated that TTHM levels were
above regulatory standards, the City issued a notice to customers to keep them informed about

Item 10
water quality. Since that time, WTP staff has been blending water from the various surface water
reservoirsto reduce naturally occurring organics andto optimize treatment performance along with
making operational adjustments to reduce water age within the City’s water distribution system to
minimize TTHM formation. WTP staff also pilot tested different chemicals aimed at reducing
TTHM levels without success. The City’s Water Distribution staff also implemented a flushing
program to help move the aging water throughout the system. Over the last few years, the City’s
third quarter (late summer) TTHM readings are nearing the MCL exceedance levels. This upward
trend in TTHMs is exacerbated by the warmer water temperatures in the source water supplies
during summer, water conservation which results in longer contact time with chlorine, and the
City’s water resiliency supply strategy that requires using minimal water from Whale Rock
Reservoir, even though it is the lowest in organic material. In order to permanently address the
issue of high TTHMs, mixing, aeration, and ventilation equipment is needed at two of the City’s
water storage tanks.
Water Treatment Plant Pipe Gallery
The City’s existing WTP was constructed at its current Stenner Canyon location in 1963, with
major facility upgrades in 1994 and 2009. Upon inspection in early 2019, staff identified portions
of the WTP pipe gallery (installed as part of the 1994 upgrade) that exhibited severe corrosion.
Specifically, a section of the 30‐inch filter effluent line that delivers treated water to the clearwell
tanks where it is stored prior to entering the water distribution system. At this location, chemical
treatment is required for fluoride and chlorine addition and pH adjustment. It is assumed that this
chemical addition, combined with the presence of standing groundwater, contributed to the severe
corrosion of the pipe. Due to the high consequence of failure of the pipeline, staff is recommending
the urgent replacement of the corroded piping.
Project
To enable the City to maintain regulatory compliance related to disinfection byproduct levels and
address the corrosion issues at the pipe gallery, staff is recommending the City Council approve
the Disinfection Byproduct Reduction (DBR) and WTP Pipe Gallery Improvements Project
(Project) and authorize advertisement of the project.
The Project includes two components: WTP pipe gallery improvements and disinfection byproduct
reduction equipment installation at the WTP (Clearwell 2) and at Edna Saddle Tank. The City
completed plans and specifications (Attachments A and B) for the Project and recommends the
City Council authorize advertisement of the project for construction. Combining the two
components allows the City to achieve construction efficiencies to expedite project completion
and minimizes the duration of construction impacts on WTP operations.
Packet Page 123
Item 10
The Project includes modifications at two potable
water storage tanks (Clearwell #2 at the WTP and
Edna Saddle Tank) for the installation of specialty
equipment (mixers, aerators, and ventilators) to
effectively reduce disinfection byproducts to meet
regulatory requirements. As part of the approval on
March 19, 2019 (Attachment D), Council
authorized the inclusion of the sole-sourced
equipment in the Project’s bid documents (PAX
Trihalomethane Reduction System by PSI Water
Technologies, Inc.).
The Project also includes replacement of corroded pipe within the pipe gallery at the WTP,
installation of a new effluent line and additional valving to provide a means for improved
maintenance flexibility within the pipe gallery, and the abandonment of a portion of the existing
buried 30-inch pipeline. This construction will be complex as the existing WTP must continue to
operate and serve the community’s water needs, allowing only short duration shutdowns to not
interrupt water service. Theproject requires significant excavation work to enable the new pipeline
installation, and space is limited.
The Project contingency for construction, construction management, and inspection services is
budgeted at 25 percent due to the complexity of the proposed pipe gallery improvements and
consequence of failure. Construction management and inspection services will be provided by
consultants from the City’s on-call service contracts, Capital Plan Construction Management
Services, Specification No. 50410.2018CM and Water and Wastewater Engineering Services,
Specification No. 91537.
Policy Context
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Resources Control Board
prescribe regulations that limit certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems,
including disinfection byproducts, specifically total trihalomethanes, or TTHMs.
Consistent with the General Plan, Water and Wastewater Management Element, Policy A2.2.1,
the City utilizes multiple water resources to meet its water supply needs. Operationally, this means
the City uses a blend of water sources to meet the community’s water needs –from Salinas, Whale
Rock, and Nacimiento Reservoirs.
Previous Council Action
On March 19, 2019, the City Council approved the budget for the Water Treatment Plant and
Water Distribution System DBR project (Attachment D). The City Manager approved an
amendment to the design scope of the Project on July 8, 2019 to include improvements to the WTP
pipe gallery in response to severe pipe corrosion and the high consequence of failure that could
occur from a leak in this pipeline (Attachment E).
The City’s 2015 Potable Water Distribution System Operations Master Plan was approved by the
City Council in 2016. The Master Plan discussed the challenges in meeting Stage 2 disinfection
byproducts water quality regulations associated with tank turnover and water age that this Project
City of San Luis Obispo, Stenner Canyon
Water Treatment Plant, Clearwell #2.
Packet Page 124
Item 10
will address. The Master Plan is available on the Utilities Department’s website at
https://www.slocity.org/home/showdocument?id=6439.
Public Engagement
The City posts its Water Quality Consumer Confidence Report (Water Quality Report) annually
on the City’s webpage and mails a printed copy to all customers. Public water systems are required
by state and federal law to notify users of any exceedance of any water quality standard and any
other noncompliance events affecting their water system. In 2015, when a violation occurred, the
City sent out a Public Notice of Violation. The City has not had a violation since the occurrence
in 2015.
CONCURRENCES
Utilities and Public Works Department staff (City Engineer and Construction Manager) met to
review delivery options for the Project. Public Works staff concurs with this request.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per categorical
exemption 15301(b), Existing Facilities. The Community Development Department issued a
Notice of Exemption on September 9, 2019 (Attachment F).
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: No Budget Year: 2019-20
Funding Identified: Yes
The DBR improvements were described in the 2019-21 Financial Plan, Capital Improvement
Program, on page 397, with a total project budget of $1,850,000. The severity of the corrosion at
the WTP pipe gallery was unknown at the time projects were prioritized for the Capital
Improvement Program. Of the available budget for the Project, $217,924 was expended for design
services (Attachments D and E), and $1,632,076 is remaining for construction, contingencies, and
construction management/inspection services. Contingencies are included at 25 percent of the
construction and construction management/inspection budget to address potentialchanges in scope
that may arise during construction. This is a higher rate of contingency to typical pipeline
replacement capital projects due to the complexity of the pipe gallery construction within the WTP.
The construction cost estimate for the project is $1,842,000, including the shop drawing cost from
PSI Water Technologies. Other project costs are outlined in the table below for a total project cost
of $2,674,250. As described in the Resolution (Attachment C), a budget transfer of $1,042,174 is
proposed from Water Fund, Unreserved Working Capital which is approximately $20 million
(unaudited financials). Since sufficient unreserved working capital is available to support this
project, staff does not recommend modifications to the approved 2019-21 capital project program.

SUBJECT:DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE LIVESCAN RESOLUTIONS -CLETS
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the City of San Luis Obispo (City) to access
state and federal summary criminal history information for employment purposes for those
positions with potential system or physical access to information from the California Law
Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), California Department of Justice (DOJ)
“Livescan”, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and Department of Social Services.
DISCUSSION
In August 2019 the City Council adopted Resolution 11034 (2019 Series) which authorized
specific Human Resources’staff to access federal and state summary criminal history
information through the DOJ. The final stage of this process is to receive approval of the
resolution through the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to receive this information. When
this resolution was sent to the FBI, it was denied due to the language clarifying that the
information would be used in employment including “volunteers, supplemental, and contract
employees” in the resolution, because supplemental employees are not codified in the Municipal
Code. Supplemental is defined in the City Council adopted Supplemental Employee Policy and
replaces the use of the term “temporary employee”. Temporary appointments and temporary
positions are codified in the Personnel Rules and Regulations; however, the FBI needs the
resolution language to be consistent with the Municipal Code. Considering the use of the term
“supplemental” was simply to further clarify a type of employment, the clarifying language is
not necessary. Therefore, staff is requesting the City Council to approve the Resolution
(Attachment A) provided in this staff report, which does not include that clarifying language.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
In October 2002 the City Council adopted Resolution 9371 which authorized specific Human
Resources staff to access DOJ federal and state summary criminal history information directly as
opposed to receiving the information through the Police Department.
In August 2019 the City Council adopted Resolution 11034 (2019 Series) which authorized
specific Human Resources’ staff to access federal and state summary criminal history
information through the DOJ.

SUBJECT:AUTHORIZE A PROPOSITION 64 PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY GRANT
APPLICATION FOR NON-COMPLIANT CANNABIS DELIVERY
ENFORCEMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution authorizing staff to prepare and submit a grant application to the Board of
State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant and
authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute any other required grant administration
related documentation (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
The BSCC is accepting applications for its Proposition 64 Public Health & Safety Grant
(Attachment B). This grant application is due April 3, 2020 and requires City Council approve a
resolution that includes certain standard terms and acknowledgements. Staff has closely
evaluated the published grant guidelines and determined this grant to be a strong match for the
City’s Mobile Delivery Compliance efforts. Specifically, the City’s Cannabis Program has
created a program to bring out of town delivery operators licensed in other cities/counties into
compliance with the City’s cannabis regulations and enforce against illicit and unpermitted
delivery operators coming into the City.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the submittal of this grant application for
acquisition of funding to go towards the mobile delivery compliance efforts of the City’s
Cannabis Program. The proposed grant application would support resource costs associated with
bringing cannabis mobile delivery operators into compliance and providing additional
enforcement resources for illicit cannabis mobile delivery operators. The grant application, if
successful, would allow the City to become one of the only cities/counties in the state to tackle
issues with illicit cannabis operators head on and would follow through on City goals to support
the success of authorized cannabis operators in the City. Staff has contingencies for
administration of the grant if awarded in the form of a resource either built into the grant
submittal or through an existing staff resource.
Packet Page 141
Item 12
Policy Context
The recommended action is consistent with the City’s Cannabis Program and Regulations, which
demonstrate a long-term commitment to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of
the City from the negative impacts of illegal commercial and noncommercial cannabis activity.
This commitment is reflected in the purpose and intent of the Cannabis Regulations established
November 27, 2018 by the City Council.
Likewise, the City’s Financial Management Manual, Section 740, requires City Council
authorization to submit grant applications in excess of $5,000. In particular, section 3(d) states:
For grants in excess of $5,000, prepare a Council agenda report requesting
authorization to seek grant funding. This report should describe the grant
program's conformance with this policy, including the results of the cost/ benefit
analysis.
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the submittal of this grant application for additional
resources to be added to the City’s Mobile Delivery Compliance program and find that it meets
the City’s Grant Management Policy outlined in Section 740 because there is an opportunity to
significantly leverage City funds on balance with only modest staff time required to prepare the
grant application
Public Engagement
This is an administrative item, so no outside public engagement was completed. Public comment
can be provided to the City Council through written correspondence prior to the meeting and
through public testimony at the meeting.
CONCURRENCE
The Police Department concurs with this application in furtherance of the City’s efforts to bring
out of town delivery operators into compliance with City regulations, enforce against illicit
cannabis markets delivering into the city, and support City licensed cannabis operators combat
the effects of black and grey market cannabis operators.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

funds would not need to be matched by the City. The staff time required to administer the grant
will be accounted for in the submittal of the grant.
ALTERNATIVES
1.Request more information.The City Council could request additional information or
analysis. This alternative is not recommended as this request is consistent with the City’s
Cannabis Program Goals to enforce the City’s Cannabis Regulations, bring eligible operators
into compliance, and enforce against illicit cannabis markets in the City. Likewise, this
alternative is not recommended as the timeline for the submittal of the Grant Proposal is
April 3, 2020 giving staff time a narrow window to apply to the grant.
2.Do not adopt staff recommendation.The City Council could not adopt staff’s
recommendation. This alternative is not recommended as this request is consistent with the
City’s Cannabis Program Goals to enforce the City’s Cannabis Regulations, bring eligible
operators into compliance, and enforce against illicit cannabis markets in the City.

COMPACT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor or designee to sign the San Luis
Obispo Countywide Regional Compact: Regional Infrastructure & Affordable Housing Strategic
Action Plan (Attachment A).
DISCUSSION
Background
The San Luis Obispo County region is currently one of the least affordable places to buy a home
in the United States –recently reported as the 8th least affordable region in the Nation.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, only 20.9 percent of the area’s share of
homes are affordable to a family earning the area’s median income.1 As stated in the County’s
Housing Element of the General Plan (2014-2019), the chronic undersupply of housing
affordable and suitable for locally employed people has economic, social, and environmental
impacts. Providing an adequate supply and range of housing choices affordable to residents and
working families/individuals is a significant challenge in San Luis Obispo County region, and
requires the efforts of public agencies, private industries, residents, and working individuals to
overcome it.
Pursuant to State law, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
determines the region’s future housing needs by affordability level and directs the San Luis
Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) to assign the required housing units to each of the
seven Cities and the County’s unincorporated areas. This is known as the Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. In December 2018, the SLOCOG Board accepted the State
HCD’s final determination that the San Luis Obispo County region must plan for 10,810 new
housing units by 2028. Subsequently, in October 2019, the SLOCOG Board adopted the 2019

jobs.2 Each of the seven cities and County are now required to identify adequate sites and plan
for its future housing needs as it updates its Housing Element by December 31, 2020.
Meeting the current and future RHNA cycles will require our communities to plan for additional
growth and prioritize investment in housing and infrastructure. The Governor and State
Legislature have enacted numerous bills that encourage local agencies to take actions to
streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production.3 The Governor and numerous
legislators have expressed a need for urgent focus on California’s housing affordability crisis.
Their decisions continue to prioritize the need for actions to address this complex challenge, such
as through their adoption of the FY 2019-20 State Budget that included $1.75 billion investment
to increase housing supply and hold local agencies accountable for meeting regional housing
goals.
Meeting the housing needs of the San Luis Obispo County region is a challenge shared by all
eight local land use jurisdictions and SLOCOG and will take collective actions to overcome.
With this great challenge also comes an opportunity for regional collaboration.
The proposed San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact (Exhibit A to Attachment A) is
an aspirational document. It sets the tone and goals for future recommended plans and actions
among the local agencies. It establishes a united regional framework to unlock the potential to
develop an adequate supply of housing and resilient infrastructure that support our economic
prosperity. It recognizes that people, water, transportation, connectivity, and housing form the
foundation of the San Luis Obispo County region’s healthy, livable communities and thriving
economic opportunity.
The region’s local agencies, building and development community, residents and workforce have
an opportunity to unite around six shared regional goals that provide a vision to guide
collaborative resolution of the underlying issues.
Goal 1. Strengthen Community Quality of Life –We believe that our Region’s quality
of life depends on four cornerstones to foster a stable and healthy economy for all:
resilient infrastructure and resources, adequate housing supply, business opportunities,
and educational pathways.
Goal 2. Share Regional Prosperity –We believe that our Region should share the
impacts and benefits of achieving enduring quality of life among all people, sectors and
interests.
2 On October 2, 2019, the SLOCOG Board adopted the 2019 RHNA Plan, allocating the overall 10,810 units to each
jurisdiction as follows: Arroyo Grande –692 units; Atascadero –843 units; Grover Beach –369 units; Morro Bay –
391 units; Paso Robles –1,446 units; Pismo Beach –459 units; San Luis Obispo - 3,354 units; and unincorporated
areas –3,256 units.
3 While numerous other bills and actions were enacted, several key examples include: SB 330 Housing Crisis Act of
2019 aimed at accelerating housing production through various actions such as streamlining permitting and approval
processes; Various bills aimed at eliminating barriers to building accessory dwelling units; AB 1486 and AB 1255
related to inventorying and reporting surplus and excess local public lands; AB 72 modifying enforcement actions
against agencies that do not comply with RHNA.
Packet Page 148
Item 13
Goal 3. Create Balanced Communities –We believe that our Region should encourage
new development that helps to improve the balance of jobs and housing throughout the
Region, providing more opportunities to residents to live and work in the same
community.
Goal 4. Value Agriculture & Natural Resources – We believe that our Region’s unique
agricultural resources, open space, and natural environments play a vital role in
sustaining healthy local communities and a healthy economy, and therefore should be
purposefully protected.
Goal 5. Support Equitable Opportunities –We believe that our Region should support
policies, actions, and incentives that increase housing development of all types, available
to people at all income levels.
Goal 6. Foster Accelerated Housing Production –We believe that our Region must
achieve efficient planning and production of housing and focus on strategies that produce
the greatest impact.
The Regional Compact is recommended for approval by the governing boards of all eight local
agencies and SLOCOG. Signatories to the Regional Compact commit to acting as partners in
aligning actions with these regional goals. The Regional Compact is an important first step that
will help to protect and enhance the region’s communities, build critical infrastructure, protect
natural resources and create a forward-thinking future for the region. By taking collaborative
actions to further these goals, our region can solve critical issues and become a statewide leader
in sustaining vibrant communities. Additionally, given the State’s pro-housing focus, the
Regional Compact shows the San Luis Obispo County region’s intent to work collaboratively to
plan for our region’s future and its growth. This may make the region more competitive for
housing and infrastructure funding opportunities.
The City is committed to working with the County, the seven local Cities, SLOCOG and key
stakeholders to supporting regional collaboration and development of a plan for action among
the region’s local agencies.The County has taken a lead role in fostering collaboration among
the stakeholders including the allocation of resources to developing the Regional Infrastructure
and Affordable Housing Strategic Action Plan with stakeholders and include interagency
coordination and development of the region’s first “regional chapter” common to all eight local
agencies’ Housing Elements. County staff will continue to work closely with each agency’s staff
and other key stakeholders as it moves both regional planning efforts forward.

Item 13
Other Agency Involvement/Impact
Overcoming the challenges highlighted in this staff report will require a significant focus on
increasing regional collaboration related to affordable housing and the critical infrastructure to
support it. The following are anticipated dates for all nine local and regional agencies to approve
the Regional Compact, and pending approval by all, will culminate in a public signing event
(tentatively set for April 3rd).

Policy Context
The City’s General Plan includes policies and programs that support regional collaboration. Goal
1 of the Land Use Element discusses not only the City’s growth management policies but
encourages regional planning and growth management and the preservation of open space
throughout the region (see Attachment B). The Circulation Element identifies ways in which the
City is to coordinate with county agencies on establishing county-wide trip reduction goals
(Program 2.2.1) and encourage transit throughout San Luis Obispo County to serve a broad range
of local and regional transportation needs (Policy 3.1.1). This includes the provision of housing
close to job centers.
As mentioned in the staff report, the City shares the burden of meeting the State’s RHNA with
local cities and the County. The Housing Element is currently being updated to include a new
chapter that will outline regional housing goals and policies.
Regional collaboration also extends into water management. The Water and Wastewater Element
contains several policies and programs regarding the management, operation, maintenance, and
water quality of water resources within the region (Programs A 2.3.2, A 2.3.5, A 4.3.1). Program
A 6.3.1 states, “Work cooperatively with other San Luis Obispo County water agencies to
identify cooperative water efficiency measures that can be implemented in each jurisdiction.”

Public Engagement
The City remains committed to engaging with partners including the County, seven local Cities,
SLOCOG, and key stakeholders to develop the Regional Infrastructure and Affordable Housing
Strategic Action Plan and formulate recommendations for how to collaboratively carry out the
goals set forth in the Regional Compact. The public may submit comments prior to and during
the City Council meeting regarding this item.

Approval of the recommended resolution and Regional Compact will provide an aspirational
vision for local Cities, SLOCOG and the County to develop various planning documents,
strategies, and actions, aimed at increasing the affordability and production of housing.
Therefore, approving the resolution and recommendations will contribute towards a more
healthy, livable, prosperous and well-governed region. Longer term, the City will need to align
revenue with services as residential properties under the Master Tax Exchange Agreement do not
typically produce enough to cover capital and service costs.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose to not adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Mayor or designee
to sign the San Luis Obispo Countywide Regional Compact: Regional Infrastructure &
Affordable Housing Strategic Action Plan. This is not recommended due to the many ways in
which this project helps fulfill the Major City Goal of Housing.

SUBJECT:ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT,
SINGLE AUDIT REPORT, AND ANNUAL AUDIT OF TRANSPORTATION
DEVELOPMENT ACT FUNDS FOR 2018-19
RECOMMENDATION
Review and accept the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2018-19.
(Attachment A)
DISCUSSION
The accompanying Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) has been prepared as required
by the City of San Luis Obispo’s (City) Charter and applicable State laws regarding financial
reporting for municipalities. The CAFR provides an audited representation of the City’s financial
condition across all funds for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2019. The CAFR was published on
the City’s website on March 10, 2020 and distributed to the City Council through the Council
Agenda for the March 17, 2020, public meeting.
In accordance with the City Charter1, the City’s financial statements have been audited by
independent certified public accountants from Badawi & Associates. The objective of the financial
audit is to provide users of the financial reports with reasonable assurance from an independent
source that the financial reports are reliable and represent a fair assessment of the City’s financial
condition. The independent auditor concluded that the City’s financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of
June 30, 2019, the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows
therefore for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
1 Section 810. Independent Audits.
The Council shall employ, at the beginning of each fiscal year, an independent certified public accountant who, at such time or times as may be
specified by the Council, at least annually, shall examine the books, records, inventories, and reports of all officials, employees, departments, and
agencies who receive, handle, or disburse public funds. As soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year, a final audit and report shall be
submitted by such accountant to the Council, one copy thereof to be distributed to each member, one each to the City Clerk, the City Treasurer,
the City Manager, and City Attorney respectively, and three (3) additional copies to be placed on file in the office of the City Clerk where they
shall be available for inspection by the general public for the period required by the laws of the State of California. Restricted and special
assessment district funds shall be segregated in the audit report.
Packet Page 157
Item 14
United States of America. The independent auditors’ report is presented as the first component of
the financial section of the CAFR.
Historically, the City’s audited financial statements have been completed within 180 days of the
end of the fiscal year and posted by December 31st. During FY2018-19, the City implemented a
new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, which included accounting and financial
reporting functions as well as the implementation of a Human Capital Management module
including payroll. The implementation was complex and encountered substantial issues, which
delayed staff’s ability to close the year and ensure all transactions were posted and reflected
appropriately. The issues encountered during 2018-19 are not expected to recur and staff does
not anticipate delayed financial statements in the future.
New Government Accounting Standard Board (GASB) Statements
Though the GASB issues new statements annually, there are two recent GASB statements that
influence government financial statements. Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 68 (GASB 68
implemented in June 2015), Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions and GASB
Statement No. 75 (GASB 75 implemented in June 2018), Accounting and Financial Reporting for
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB), the City reports on the unfunded pension
and OPEB liabilities on the full accrual basis of accounting in the government-wide financial
statements. Also included are note disclosures and supplementary schedules as required by GASB
68 and GASB 75. The measurement date for fiscal year 2018-19 pension and OPEB liabilities is as
of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. This date reflects a one-year lag and was used so that the
financial statements could be issued in an expedient manner. Activity (i.e. contributions made by the
City) occurring during fiscal year 2018-19 are reported as deferred outflows of resources in
accordance with GASB Statement No. 71.
For FY 2018-19, four new standards went into effect and the City’s audit was conducted in full
compliance with those standards listed below:
GASB 83 Certain Asset Retirement Obligations
GASB 84 Fiduciary Activities
GASB 88 Certain Disclosures related to Debt incl. direct borrowings and direct placements
GASB 90 Majority Equity Interest
After discussions with the independent auditors, the financial statements for FY2018-19 include a
prior period adjustment related to recognizing the pension and OPEB liabilities connected to the
Whale Rock Fund. The key issue in determining whether these items are liabilities of the City or of
the Whale Rock Commission centers around the contractual obligations of the Whale Rock
Commission partners and the actuarially determined liability. Fundamentally, the Whale Rock
reservoir is operated and maintained by employees of the City assigned to this function. These
employees participate in the City’s CalPERS retirement program and are included in the actuarial
valuation of the pension liability for all City employees. The Whale Rock Commission does not
have its own contract with CalPERS, nor do the other two partners in the commission, California
Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly)and the California Men’s Colony, directly pay into the
City’s plan. As the Whale Rock Commission was formed in 1959 based on agreements between the
partners, no other structure such as a JPA was formed that could hire the employees directly and be
Packet Page 158
Item 14
a contributing CalPERS agency. The City has previously assigned pension costs and share of
unfunded liability based on a reasonable allocation methodology; however, this methodology does
not meet the requirements under GASB Statement Nos. 68 and 75 for recording these liabilities in
the Whale Rock Fund. The financials were therefore restated, and the liability is now reflected in the
City’s Water Fund.Staff intends on addressing this issue with the Commission and amend the
agreement to reflect the liability for the two outside member agencies.
Financial Results Highlighted in the CAFR
Within the CAFR, the Transmittal Memorandum and Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) summarize the City’s fiscal performance and provide an analysis of the influencing
factors. They also provide information on the City’s fiscal policies, practices and financial results.
Key variances from projected ending balances for 2018-19 are highlighted in the Transmittal
Memorandum. Both documents allow the reader to gain insight into the City’s audited financials
and provide context to the following statements.
Financial results for fiscal year 2018-19 compare favorably with budget estimates in virtually all
areas of the City’s operations. For the General Fund, financial results for the year exceed final
estimates for revenues by $4 million or 5.6%. This is largely due to substantial increases in
Development Review related fees as private development activity remained high through 2018-
19. However, the City’s top three key revenue sources, Sales Tax including the City’s Half-Cent
Sales Tax Measure, Property Tax, and Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), all fared well in 2018-
19 ending the fiscal year at above budgeted estimates. These revenue sources account for 50% of
all funding sources in the General Fund and are closely monitored through the year.
Expenditures and other uses ended slightly above budget amounts by $343,000. The net result of
the overall difference leads to the ending fund balance of 30.1 million. This compares to an
ending balance of $ 29.6 million in 2017-18. As the chart below outlines, the majority of the
ending balance is restricted or assigned and not available for spending in conformance with
GASB 54.

Item 14
Included in the assigned fund balance are committed expenditures (encumbrances), balances
related to the City’s Local Revenue Measures, as well as the required 20% operating reserve, the
Revenue Stabilization reserve, and $1.4 million for the Section 115 Pension Trust Fund.
Previous Council action prioritized any unassigned fund balance above reserve levels to be used
to pay down the City’s unfunded pension liability. This agenda item is followed by a report that
outlines the recommended payment as well as the use of remaining funds to one-time
expenditures in Fiscal Year 2019-20 and 2020-21.
Enterprise Funds
The City maintains four Enterprise Funds for its Water and Sewer utility, and the Parking and
Transit enterprises. Enterprise Funds are business-type activities within government accounting
and are reported on separately.
The primary sources of revenue for the Water, Sewer, and Parking Funds are fees for sales and
services. All funds saw an increase in revenue in 2018-19 which was largely due to substantial
increases in impact fees due to high development activities, as well as interest on investment
revenues. The Transit fund increased its income from ridership by 13%, continuing a positive
upward trend in bus use.
The Transit Fund receives revenue from fare collection but is mainly funded through federal and
state grants to offset its operating cost for the City’s transit system. Therefore, the City’s single
audit is mainly reporting on Transit as the largest source of Federal grant funding.
All four funds ended the fiscal year 2018-19 positively with all of them experiencing an increase
in net position at year end. (CAFR page 33).
CAFR Organization
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for state and local governments, the
City’s CAFR is organized into three major sections: Introduction, Financial Reports and Statistical
Tables. The following is a brief summary of the contents of each of these sections.
Introduction. The Transmittal Memorandum and other information of general interest are presented
in this section, including directory of officials, advisory bodies, and organization chart.
Financial Reports. This section includes the City’s primary financial statements in five major parts:
1.Auditors’ opinion regarding the financial statements.
2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) providing a narrative overview of City-wide
finances.
3. The basic financial statements presenting the government-wide results combining the activities
of the major funds (General, Capital Outlay and all Enterprise Funds) into governmental and
business-type categories; the fund financial statements; and the notes to the financial statements.
4. Required supplementary information presenting the General Fund actual results with both the
original and final adjusted budgets.
5. Other supplemental schedules and financial statements providing financial information for each
of the City’s non-major governmental and agency funds. This includes a financial schedule
presenting Half Percent Sales Tax Measure revenues and uses in 2018-19.
Packet Page 160
Item 14
Statistical Tables. This section provides demographic and financial tables showing current and
historical trend information for the City and is organized into six major parts:
1.Statistical overview.General information about the San Luis Obispo community.
2.General financial trends.Ten-year summary information on net assets, governmental revenues
and expenditures and fund balances.
3.Revenue capacity.Ten-year summary information on property and sales tax trends.
4.Debt capacity.Ten-year summary information on debt service requirements.
5.Economic and demographic trends.Ten-year summaries of taxable sales, building permits
and valuations, housing, population and other demographic trends.
6.Operating information.Ten-year trend information on operating indicators by function.
Recognition for Excellence in Financial Reporting
Beginning in fiscal year 1983-84, all of the City’s CAFRs have been awarded the certificate of
achievement for excellence in financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers
Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA). This is a prestigious national award
recognizing the City’s use of the highest standards in preparing its annual financial report.The City
received the award for its 2017-18 CAFR and has submitted the award application for the 2018-19
CAFR.
Additional Reporting
The Federal Single Audit Act requires agencies expending $500,000 or more of Federal assistance
funding to undergo organization-wide audits of their internal controls. Accordingly, the Single
Audit Report provides a Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance
and Other Matters. In the findings section of this report, the auditors notes possible deficiencies or
suggests improvements. In response to the finding, staff will respond with improvements and
changes to address the findings.
The Transportation Development Act annual audit is also by the same independent certified
public accounting firm and provides information on the City’s compliance with statutes, rules,
and regulations of the Transportation Development Act (TDA), the California Code of
Regulations, and instructions and resolutions of the San Luis Obispo Council of Government for
the period ending on June 30, 2019.
Both report and accompanying findings will be submitted to the City Council via Council
Correspondence prior to the Council meeting. The independent auditor will also present the
findings during the public meeting on March 17, 2020.
Policy Context
The City’s Charter under Section 810 requires the employment of an independent certified public
account to examine the City’s financials.
Public Engagement
The City’s annual audit and issuance of the comprehensive annual financial report fulfills a legal
requirement and does not have a public engagement component. It will be presented to the City
Council in open session on March 17, 2020, and the public can comment prior to or during the
Packet Page 161
Item 14
meeting. The report will be made available on the City’s website and in the Council Reading File
as part of this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report, because the action does not constitute a “Project” under CEQA Guidelines Sec. 15378.

which means that they are presented fairly and in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The chart illustrates that the City is able to fully fund its 20% operating reserve including the
Revenue Stabilization Reserve and the restricted funding for the Section 115 Pension Trust Fund.
After accounting for ongoing contractual obligations and the Development Review designation,
$6,185,574 remain in unassigned fund balance. However, the City Council has previously
directed that available funding will be prioritized to pay-down the City’s pension liability and
$4.2 million are earmarked for this purpose. This leaves $1,985,574 for possible appropriation.
In accordance with City Charter1, the City Council may amend or supplement the budget at any
time after its adoption by the majority vote of the Council members. Additionally, the City’s
budget policies allow for excess fund balance above policy reserve levels to be used for one-
time, non-recurring expenditures. Accordingly, staff recommends the appropriation of one-time
savings above required reserve levels from FY 2018-19 to be allocated to one-time expenditures
that were unanticipated at the adoption of the 2019-21 Financial Plan but needed for optimum
work program deliverables. Detailed descriptions of the requests are provided in Attachment A
(Exhibits A-F).
Approval of Positions
As part of the 2019-21 Financial Plan Operating Program Enhancements, $225,000 was
approved as an ongoing resource to support the Organization of the Future. The reorganization
included the creation of an Assistant City Manager Position to manage the Community Services
departments (Public Works, Parks & Recreation, Utilities, Transit, and Parking). While the
funding was added to the budget for the Assistant City Manager, the FTE was not added.
Due to the vacancies in the positions of first the Parks & Recreation Director and subsequently the Public
Works Director, the position count was not needed. However, the City has concluded that a Public Works
Director is needed and is now trying to fill the position. In order to continue the implemented structure,
the approval of an additional FTE is necessary. There is no funding associated with this recommendation
as all needed budget allocations were approved with the 2019-21 Financial Plan.
1 Section 804. Adoption of the Budget
After the conclusion of the public hearing the Council shall further consider the proposed budget and make any revisions thereof that it may deem
advisable and thereafter it shall adopt the budget with revisions, if any. Upon final adoption, the budget shall be in effect for the ensuing fiscal
year. From the effective date of the budget, the several amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures shall be and become appropriated to the
various departments or activities therein described. All appropriations shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year to the extent that they shall not have
been expended or lawfully encumbered. At any meeting after the adoption of the budget, the Council may amend or supplement the budget by
motion adopted by a majority vote of the Council.

2019-20 Capital Improvement Plan –Recommended changes in appropriation
On February 18, 2020, Council received its 2019-20 Mid-Year Budget Review report. The
purpose of that report was to update City Council and the community on City work programs,
workload and performance measures, and changes in financial positions. An update on the status
of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was also provided. Significant progress on CIP has been
made for the City’s Utilities Department as well as the 2019 Paving and multiple bridge
replacements including El Capitan Pedestrian Bridge and Meadow Park Pedestrian Bridges. A
list of completed Capital Projects is included in Attachment B.
The City’s Capital budget is prepared over a multi-year period and focuses on maintenance of
existing facilities as well as new projects to advance Major City Goals and adopted Plans. Some
CIP projects come up quickly as they may have to address failing/failed infrastructure (e.g. El
Capitan Bridge) or when new information is obtained, and projects must be accelerated (e.g.
safety project due to failing equipment) or deferred to fund other priority projects. The adopted
CIP serves as a portfolio of projects for a budgetary cycle. Each individual project prior to
construction must go through further Council and/or City Manager (depending upon fiscal
impacts) review. This typically involves Council issuing requests to authorize a project for
bidding and awarding contracts for construction. During that process further budget and project
specification adjustments occur.
Unprecedented Escalation in Construction Costs
Currently, the construction industry is facing unprecedented uncertainty in costs, labor supply,
and conditions.Multiple City projects have come in well above engineers’ estimates and have
had to be rebid and/or returned to Council for further funding allocations. The costs of materials
are escalating far more rapidly than forecasted cost adjustment indices. Construction labor
shortages are unprecedented, and some projects have received no bids. Global uncertainty in the
finance markets and the world in general due to stock volatility have created further instability in
this industry. The impacts of this instability are that some reprioritization of projects must occur
so that the City can have successful capital projects through the end of this two-year Financial
Plan and stay within our budget. This results in shortfalls in other project areas and given limited
funds deferral to the next cycle.
Cost of Construction Escalation and Adjusted Capital Budget
Staff is currently completing a comprehensive review of all general fund CIP projects within the
context of the uncertainties and volatility noted above. At this time, because the City has
experienced over-realized revenues, unprecedented construction costs, and project timing
constraints, there are projects that are being considered for reprioritization, deferral, and funding
augmentation. The results and recommendations of this analysis will be presented to the Revenue
Enhancement Oversight Committee (REOC) on March 18, 2020 and forwarded to Council for
consideration on April 7, 2020 as part of the consent calendar. The purpose for including this
discussion is to provide the Council with a comprehensive perspective of City finances and the
relationship to the CIP.

Fiscal Year 2019-20 and 2020-21 Budget Changes
Based on the availability of fund balance above policy reserve levels from FY 18-19, staff
recommends allocating one-time resources to expenditure budgets that will span over the
remainder of the Financial Plan. Staff recommends allocating the funds for both years because
many of the requests are for multi-year staffing contracts or needs and the City’s fiscal health
response plan will place further strains on FY2020-21. Staff recommends that Council adopt the
following budget amendments needed for this fiscal year and restrict $885,270 of fund balance
for appropriation with the FY2020-21 budget. Staff expects few, if any, additional significant
operating budget changes to be presented with the supplemental budget as forecasts are highly
volatile, particularly within the unknown impacts on consumer spending related to COVID-19.

major funds is provided below:

1 Youth Services Staffing Crisis: Youth Services is facing a staffing
recruitment and retention crisis. HR staff has conducted an updated
compensation study for Youth Services positions. After analyzing
the results of the compensation study, it was found that the San Luis
Obispo Youth Services position salaries lag market competitors by
roughly 29%. Parks and Rec and HR are proposing to make the 6
Youth Services Site Specialists contract, full-time positions with
employee only benefits and increased wages over the next 15
months (for the remainder of the FY 19-21 Financial Plan) and
monitor staffing challenges throughout this time. Concurrently, a
childcare study will be completed which may contain program
recommendations for City staff. This study is expected to be
completed by June 30, 2021, which will allow us to take both
aspects into consideration for the next Financial Plan.
$17,000 $68,000
2 Police –Public Events/ Marches:Police is requesting to increase
the Department overtime budget by $100,000 to help offset costs
related to political marches, demonstrations (permitted and non-
permitted events), Farmer's Market (two officers are required to
work 5 hours each week), and Council Meetings (one officer is
required to work 4 hours). Staff analyzed overtime data over the
past five years and identified recurring events and other specific
events (politically related) that have increased over the past three
years. Since FY 2016-17, Women's marches and other
demonstrations have collectively resulted in about 860 hours in
overtime, which averages close to 300 hours annually.
$100,000 $150,000
3 CDD Tech Support:Technical Support for builders of all-electric
buildings (Clean Energy Choice Program Incentive)
$50,000
4 Contract Legal Analyst/Office Manager:Request to add a
Contract Legal Analyst/Law Office Manager to support ongoing
operational needs, the implementation and support of new
technologies and processes to increase office intake, efficiency,
tracking and effectiveness, and to assist in development of long
term structural sustainability plans for the office. Staff have
analyzed existing City positions* (comparing the duties assigned to
various levels of City staff and those intended to be assigned to a
Legal Analyst/Law Office Manager) and have determined the new
position proposed is most closely equivalent to a Senior
Administrative/Financial Analyst or Human Resources Analyst II.
$25,000 $102,000
5 Trash and Recycling Staff (Contract):The community continues
to express a strong interest in the City to begin a formalized trash
recycle program in the City's parks system. Currently the City
services the parks system with trash service only and this is
accomplished using 0.5 FTE. In order to not contaminate recycled
material in the park system separate trash pickup and separate
$40,000

recycled pickup is required. The City can accomplish this need by
increase an 0.5 FTE to 1 FTE -contract staff. Additionally, the
resource would be able to help coordinate removal of discarded
belongings in parks, creeks and open space areas.
6 2020 Election Costs:The City has been notified that the 2020
election will cost approximately 30% more than the 2018 election
due to the increased number of registered voters in the City, new
regulations related to mailing requirements and the increased cost
of mailing. In addition, each ballot measure is expected to cost
approximately $40,000. The current budget for the 2020 election
is $56,504 and the new expected costs with the increase are
$84,256.38. In addition, adding the cost of one ballot measure at
$40,000 would bring the total election cost to $124,256. The
requested funds would cover the difference between the budgeted
and expected actual costs assuming the potential for one ballot
measure pending City Council direction.
$67,752
7 MOTION Project Funding:These funds are needed for the
continued configuration, testing and implementation of the
MOTION Project. Phases 1 and 2 of the project are live, however,
there is additional investment needed beyond what was originally
anticipated to troubleshoot issues remaining after go live. The City
is working closely with the software provider (Oracle) and
implementer (Sierra Cedar) to resolve these issues at their time and
cost first, but through an analysis of root cause there may be a cost
to the City for resolution of some of the issues. These funds will be
used for additional as-needed services from Oracle and Sierra
Cedar, continuation of a full-time Project Manager (currently
expected to be reduced to half-time in July 2020) to manage the
project and resolution of remaining issues and additional staffing
costs (including overtime) associated with the project. The
methodology for the General Fund and Enterprise split is based off
the originally adopted SOBC in the 16-17 Supplement (Pg D-42).
$58,900 $159,706
8 Communications & Engagement Manager (1.5 Year Contract):
These funds are needed to hire a contract Communications &
Engagement Manager through the end of the 19 -21 Financial Plan
to support the City's overall goals of transparency and engagement
by serving as a centralized resource ensuring city communication

information geared to the local community and other stakeholders,
increasing city engagement on social media channels and
supporting departments with their specific communication needs.
This position would also work with local media to provide factual,
timely information and assist city subject matter experts with
responding to media inquiries. By bringing this expertise in house,
the city is creating an advocate who will help all city staff keep the
importance of effective, clear and proactive communication top of
mind while partnering with staff on the execution of thoughtful,
strategic communication programs. The first task for this position
will be to develop and oversee implementation of an updated

production of print and other materials to support the City’s
sustainability work and other tasks outlined above. Additionally,
this request includes $20k related to the costs associated with
onboarding a new staff member including training and
development, technology, office equipment, etc. through the
duration of the contract. The 2020-21 request is $144,853.80 in
staffing costs.
9 Additional Legal Support:This funding is needed to support the
City's response the recent claims associated with the California
Voting Rights Act against the City. This request includes costs
related to legal services ($150,000) and staff support ($140,151) to
ensure the City has adequate resources to respond to a significant
and intense work effort related to the fundamental processes by
which City Council Members are elected in the City. The amount
of $150,000 was derived to backfill costs already incurred by the
City for legal services related to this work effort and anticipates
additional costs that the City will incur. Legal services are needed
to provide guidance and subject matter expertise in a complex and
evolving area of law as well as the potential use of demography
experts. Staff support includes a Management/Administrative
Analyst position to provide direct support to the Office of the City
Attorney and Administration and IT Department who will be
leading this effort with project management, public outreach,
research and content development. The requested funding for the
Management/Administrative Analyst is through June 2021 and the
position would also be available to assist with City Council special
projects and other initiatives as available.

between the cities of Paso Robles, Atascadero and the County of
San Luis Obispo to develop a model for splitting property tax
allocations to incentivize housing and economic development in the
region.

Reservoir. The City’s water rights attorney recommends completing the
required paperwork and requesting water rights licenses for Whale Rock
and Salinas prior to the completion of the city’s Sustainable Groundwater
Management Plan in 2022. This process could take up to three years to
complete and it is necessary to begin work immediately to work on
securing groundwater resources and surface water resources concurrently.

These funds will be used for additional as-needed services from Oracle
and Sierra Cedar, continuation of a full-time Project Manager (currently
expected to be reduced to half-time in July 2020) to manage the project
and resolution of remaining issues and additional staffing costs (including
overtime) associated with the project. The methodology for the General
Fund and Enterprise split is based on the originally adopted SOBC in the
16-17 Supplement (pg D-42).

SAN LUIS OBISPO FEDERAL EMERGENCY AND FEDERAL GRANT
PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES
1. Purpose
The purpose of these City of San Luis Obispo (“City”) Federal Emergency and Federal Grant
Procurement Procedures is to define the practices and policies governing the procurement of public
works projects, contractual services, professional services or materials, supplies and equipment (i)
in preparation of, during, and after an emergency that may be subject to federal funding or
reimbursement; (ii) when using federal grant funds subject to the regulations set forth in the
following sentence. These Federal Emergency Procurement Procedures are compliant with Title 2
of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.
2. Emergency Authority
a.“Emergency” is defined under section 2.24.020 of the City’s Municipal Code (“City
Code”) as:
the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme
peril to the safety of persons and property within the city caused by such
conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, hazardous materials incident,
drought, sudden and severe energy shortage, plant or animal infestations or
disease, epidemic, riot, nuclear emergency, earthquake or other conditions,
including conditions resulting from war, terrorist acts or imminent threat of
war, which conditions are, or are likely to be, beyond the control of the
services, personnel, equipment and facilities of this city, requiring the
combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat. (Ord. 1560 § 1,
2011: prior code § 2430.1)
b. In the case of a declared emergency, section 2.24.060(A)(6)(b) of the City Code
allows for emergency contracting:
To obtain vital supplies, equipment and such other properties found lacking
and needed for the protection of life and property and to bind the city for
the fair value thereof and, if required immediately, to commandeer the same
for public use.
3. Federally Declared Emergencies and Federal Grants; Procurement and Contracting
Requirements
Exhibit A
Packet Page 182
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 5
R ______
In the event of an emergency declared by the President of the United States, the City must comply
with Federal procurement standards as a condition of receiving public assistance funding from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for contract costs for eligible work. FEMA
funding is governed by Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
(“Uniform Guidance”).
In addition, most federal grant funding is also subject to the Uniform Guidance. Federal grant
compliance requires the grantee to conduct procurements in accordance with written procurement
policies and procedures that comply with the requirements set forth in the Uniform Guidance.
These procurement procedures shall be complied with in connection with utilization of federal
grant funding by the City, in addition to any other specific grant requirements.
These procedures are in addition to and are not intended to replace or supersede the City’s other
procurement requirements contained in the City Code and the City Purchasing Manual. In the case
of a conflict between these procedures, the City Code or the City’s Purchasing Manual, the more
stringent requirement shall govern, provided that the more stringent requirement would not violate
a federal procurement requirement. In such case, for federally funded contracts, the federal
requirement shall govern.
a. Conflicts of Interest
i. Standards of Conduct for Conflicts of Interest. No employee, officer or
agent of the City shall participate in selection, or in the award or
administration of a contract supported by federal funds if a conflict of
interest, real or apparent, would be involved. Such a conflict would arise
when: The employee, officer or agent; any member of his immediate family;
his or her partner; or an organization which employs, or is about to employ,
any of the above, has a financial or other interest in the firm selected for
award.The City’s officers, employees or agents will neither solicit nor
accept gratuities, favors or anything of monetary value from contractors,
potential contractors, or parties to subagreements. Such a conflict will not
arise where the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an
unsolicited item of nominal intrinsic value. Employees must follow
applicable laws, rules, and regulations in regard to conflicts of interest
including, but not limited to, the Political Reform Act, the prohibition
against contractual conflicts of interest, and guidelines in the California
Code of Regulations regarding acceptance of gifts.
ii. Violations. Disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of the above
standards are as follows.
1. The violation of these Standards of Conduct by City employees will
subject the violator to any disciplinary proceedings or action
deemed appropriate by the City Manager. Employees may correct
a violation in any manner provided for under the Political Reform
Act, and its implementing regulations.
Packet Page 183
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 6
R ______
2. The violation of any of these Standards of Conduct by City officers
will require correction of the violation in any manner provided for
under the Political Reform Act, and its implementing regulations.
3. Contractors or subcontractors that violate these Standards of
Conduct as relates to an active federally-funded procurement may
be prohibited from bidding on the procurement, or may be subject
to other action as deemed appropriate by the City Manager.
4. Agents of the City that violate these Standards of Conduct as relates
to federally-funded procurements may be prohibited from
participation on behalf of the City on federally funded projects, or
subject to other action as deemed appropriate by the City Manager.
b. Procurement Standards
i. Oversight. The City shall maintain administrative oversight of contractors
to ensure that contractors perform in accordance with the terms, conditions
and specifications of their contracts or purchase orders.
ii. Economical Approach. The City must avoid acquisition of unnecessary or
duplicative items. Consideration should be given to consolidating or
breaking out procurements to obtain a more economical purchase. Where
appropriate, an analysis will be made of lease versus purchase alternatives,
and any other appropriate analysis to determine the most economical
approach. The City will enter into state and local intergovernmental
agreements or inter-entity agreements where appropriate for procurement
or use of common or shared goods and services. If feasible and it reduces
project costs, the City will explore using federal excess and surplus property
in lieu of purchasing new equipment and property. When appropriate, the
City will investigate using value engineering clauses in contracts for
construction projects of sufficient size to offer reasonable opportunities for
cost reductions.
iii. Detailed Records. The City shall maintain records sufficient to detail the
history of each procurement. These records will include, but are not
necessarily limited to the following: rationale for the method of
procurement, selection of contract type, contractor selection or rejection,
and the basis for the contract price.
iv. Procurement Issues. The City alone shall be responsible, in accordance with
good administrative practice and sound business judgment, for the
settlement of all contractual and administrative issues arising out of
procurements. These issues include, but are not limited to, source
evaluation, protests, disputes and claims. Protest procedures or information
on obtaining the procedures shall be included in the procurement
documents.
Exhibit A
Packet Page 184
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 7
R ______
c. Competition
i. Full and Open Competition. In order to ensure objective contractor
performance and eliminate unfair competitive advantage, contractors that
develop or draft specifications, requirements, statements of work, or
invitations for bids or requests for proposals must be excluded from
competing for such procurements. Some of the situations considered to be
restrictive of competition include but are not limited to:
1. Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to
qualify to do business;
2. Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding;
3. Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or between
affiliated companies;
4. Noncompetitive contracts to consultants that are on retainer
contracts;
5. Organizational conflicts of interest, as further detailed herein;
6. Specifying only a “brand name” product instead of allowing “an
equal” product to be offered and describing the performance or other
relevant requirements of the procurement; and
7. Any arbitrary action in the procurement process.
ii. Organizational Conflicts of Interest. An unfair competitive advantage could
result if a contractor were allowed to submit a bid or proposal for work
described in a specification or statement of work that the contractor itself
developed. For the purpose of eliminating a potential unfair competitive
advantage, and in compliance with applicable state and federal laws and
regulations, a contractor that develops or assists in developing
specifications, requirements, statements of work, invitation for bids, and/or
request for proposals for a City procurement is excluded from competing
for the resultant procurement, unless an appropriate waiver is issued by the
City. All waivers will be assessed by the City on a case-by-case basis.
iii. Geographical Preference. The City shall conduct procurements in a manner
that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed in-state or
local geographical preferences in the evaluation of bids or proposals, except
in those cases where applicable federal statutes expressly mandate or
encourage geographic preference. When contracting for architectural and
engineering (A/E) services, geographic location may be a selection criteria
provided its application leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms,
given the nature and size of the project, to compete for the contract.
iv. Procurement Transactions. The City shall require the following information
for procurement transactions:
1. A clear and accurate description of the technical requirements for
the material, product or service to be procured. Such description
shall not, in competitive procurements, contain features which
unduly restrict competition. The description may include a
statement of the qualitative nature of the material, product or service
Exhibit A
Packet Page 185
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 8
R ______
to be procured, and when necessary, shall set forth those minimum
essential characteristics and standards to which it must conform if it
is to satisfy its intended use. Detailed product specifications should
be avoided if at all possible. When it is impractical or uneconomical
to make a clear and accurate description of the technical
requirements, a brand name or equal description may be used as a
means to define the performance or other salient requirements of
procurement. The specific features of the named brand which must
be met by offerors shall be clearly stated; and
2. All requirements which the offerors must fulfill and all other factors
to be used in evaluating bids or proposals.
v. Prequalification Lists. The City shall ensure that all prequalified lists, if
used, of persons, firms or products which are used in acquiring goods and
services are current and include enough qualified sources to ensure
maximum open and free competition. The City shall not preclude potential
bidders from qualifying during the solicitation period.
d. Procurement Procedures
The thresholds below are federal thresholds. If City thresholds are lower, the more
restrictive requirement shall govern, notwithstanding the provisions herein.
i. Micro-Purchases. Purchases within the micro-purchase threshold (e.g.,
currently set at purchases of $10,000 or less but periodically adjusted for
inflation) may be awarded without soliciting competitive quotations if the
City considers the price to be reasonable. To the extent practicable, the City
must distribute micro-purchases equitably among qualified suppliers.
ii. Small Purchases. Purchases within the simplified acquisition threshold
(e.g., currently set at purchases of $250,000 or less) shall not be required to
be formally bid. Price quotations must be received from no less than three
(3) sources.
iii. Formal, Sealed Bidding.
1. Bids are publicly solicited and a firm-fixed-price contract (lump
sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid,
conforming to all the material terms and conditions of the invitation
for bids, is the lowest in price. Formal, sealed bidding is required
for purchases greater than the simplified acquisition threshold,
which is currently set at $250,000, or as may be adjusted by the
Federal Acquisition Regulation, pursuant to 48 CFR § 2.101.
2. This is the preferred method for procuring construction, if a
complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase
description is available; two or more responsible bidders are willing
and able to compete effectively and for the business; and the
procurement lends itself to a firm-fixed-price contract and the
Exhibit A
Packet Page 186
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 9
R ______
selection of the successful bidder can be made principally on the
basis of price.
3. The City must publicly advertise the Invitation for Bids and publicly
open all bids at the time and place prescribed in the invitation.
4. Any contracts awarded pursuant to this procedure shall be to the
lowest responsible bidder submitting a responsive bid and shall be
for a firm fixed price. Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a
sound documented reason.
iv. Competitive Proposals.
1. When the nature of a procurement does not lend itself to formal,
sealed bidding, the City may solicit competitive proposals. The
technique of competitive proposals is normally conducted with more
than one source submitting an offer, and either a fixed-price or cost-
reimbursement type contract is awarded.
2. A request for proposals (RFP) must be publicly advertised, and the
City must solicit proposals from an adequate number of sources.
The RFP must identify all evaluation factors and their relative
importance; however, the numerical or percentage ratings or
weights need not be disclosed.
3. Evaluation factors that will be considered in evaluating proposals
shall be tailored to each procurement and shall include only those
factors that will have an impact on the selection decision.
a.The City’s procurement officer shall establish a formal
evaluation committee, of at least two persons. The size of
an evaluation committee should be based on the size and
complexity of the goods or services being procured and well
balanced and represented by individuals involved with the
procurement and/or affected by the goods or services being
procured.
b. The evaluation committee will be charged with
responsibility for evaluating proposals in accordance with
the evaluation criteria in the solicitation, short listing firms,
establishing a competitive range, and/or recommending a
firm or firms for contract award.
4. Any contract awarded based on the competitive proposal
procurement process cannot be based exclusively on price or price-
related factors.
5. If a contract is awarded, it shall be to the responsible firm whose
proposal is most advantageous to the City (“best value”), with price
and other factors considered.
v. Competitive Proposals for A&E Services. The competitive proposal
procedures above may be used for procurement of architect and engineering
(A&E) services, provided that proposers must be evaluated based on
competence and qualifications, without regard to price. For A&E
Exhibit A
Packet Page 187
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 10
R ______
procurements, price will not be used as a selection factor. The City will
rank proposers based on qualifications only, and attempt to negotiate fair
and reasonable compensation with the highest ranked proposer. If
negotiations with the highest ranked proposer are unsuccessful, such
negotiations will be terminated and the City will commence negotiations
with the next highest ranked proposer. This process shall be continued with
successive qualified proposers until agreement is reached that is determined
to be fair and reasonable.
vi. Noncompetitive Procurements.
1. Contracts may be procured through a noncompetitive proposal only
when:
a. The item is only available from a single source;
b. The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will
not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation;
c. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity
expressly authorizes noncompetitive proposals in response
to a written request from the City; or
d. Competition is deemed inadequate after the solicitation of a
number of sources.
vii. Public Projects. Public projects shall be procured by the formal contract bid
procedure as set forth Chapter 3.24, Article III, Formal Contract Procedure
of the City’s Municipal Code, Section 203 of the City Purchasing Manual,
and the formal, sealed bidding in this section. If there is conflict between
the foregoing, the more restrictive requirements shall apply.
viii. Award.
1. Responsible Contractor. The City shall award contracts only to
responsible contractors possessing the ability to perform
successfully under the terms and conditions of a proposed
procurement. Consideration will be given to such matters as
contractor integrity, compliance with public policy, record of past
performance, and financial and technical resources.
2. Debarment and Suspension. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.213, in
connection with the responsibility determination, a check of
debarment and suspension using the System for Award Management
(SAM), www.sam.gov, must be performed and documented in the
procurement records prior to award.
e.Contracting with Small and Minority Firms, Women’s Business Enterprises,
and Labor Area Surplus Firms
i. The City must take all necessary affirmative steps to ensure the use of
minority businesses, women’s business enterprises, and labor surplus area
firms when possible, as set forth at 2 CFR § 200.321 and detailed below.
The City shall:
1. Place qualified small and minority businesses and women's business
enterprises on solicitation lists;
2. Assure that small and minority businesses, and women's business
enterprises are solicited whenever they are potential sources;
Packet Page 188
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 11
R ______
3. Divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller
tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and
minority businesses, and women's business enterprises;
4. Establish delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which
encourage participation by small and minority businesses, and
women's business enterprises;
5. Use the services and assistance, as appropriate, of such
organizations as the Small Business Administration and the
Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of
Commerce; and
6. Require the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the
affirmative steps listed in paragraphs (1) through (5) of this section.
ii. The City shall document the steps above, and any relevant findings
applicable to any of the steps above in its procurement file.
f. Cost and Price
i. Cost or Price Analysis. The City shall perform a cost or price analysis in
connection with every procurement action, including contract
modifications, in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold. While the
method and degree of analysis depend on the facts surrounding the
particular procurement situation, the City must, at a minimum, make
independent estimates before receiving bids or proposals.
ii. Profit. The City shall negotiate profit as a separate element of the price for
each contract in which there is no price competition and in all cases where
a cost analysis is performed as required by 2 CFR § 200.323(b).
iii. Estimated Costs. Costs or prices based on estimated costs for contracts are
allowable only to the extent that costs incurred or cost estimates included in
negotiated prices would be allowable for the City under 2 CFR 200.400 et
seq.
g. Payment Procedures
i. Method of Contracting. Contracts entered into pursuant to these procedures
shall utilize only fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, or, to a limited extent,
time and materials payment methods.
ii. Prohibited Methods of Contracting. The City shall not use the cost plus a
percentage of cost or percentage of construction cost methods of contracting
for any work for which federal reimbursement will be sought.
iii. Time and Materials (“T&M”) Contracts
1. T&M contracts should be used rarely, and the use of T&M contracts
should be limited to a reasonable time period (e.g., no more than 70
hours) based on circumstances during which the City cannot define
a clear scope of work.
2. The City shall only enter into a time and materials contract if all of
the following apply:
a. The City has determined and documented in the project file
that no other contract is suitable;
Exhibit A
Packet Page 189
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 12
R ______
b. The contract has a guaranteed maximum price that the
contractor exceeds at its own risk; and
c. The City provides a high degree of oversight to obtain
reasonable assurance that the contractor is using efficient
methods and effective cost controls.
3. The City must define the scope of work as soon as possible to enable
procurement of a more acceptable type of contract (i.e., non-T&M).
iv. Separate Invoicing
1. All purchases made during a proclaimed emergency shall require
separate invoicing from routine (i.e., non-emergency related)
purchases. All invoices shall state the goods, services, or equipment
provided and shall specify where the goods or services were
delivered. All invoices shall specify the location(s) where the goods
or services were used, if possible. Any invoice which fails to
properly identify the emergency nature of the purchase and provide
details as to the date(s) and location(s), as appropriate, shall not be
paid until such errors are corrected by the vendor and re-submitted
in correct form.
v. Auditing of Invoices for Debris Removal. All invoices for debris clearance
and removal shall be audited prior to payment to the contractor. Contractors
shall be notified of this requirement prior to the award of any contract for
debris clearance and/or removal. Audits shall be in accordance with
procedures for debris removal monitoring specified in FEMA’s Publication
325, Debris Management Guide.
h. Bonding Requirements
i. Bonding. For construction or facility improvement contracts or
subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (See 2 CFR
200.88), the City shall require at a minimum:
1. A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the
bid price.
2. A performance bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of
the contract price.
3. A payment bond on the part of the contractor for 100 percent of the
contract price.
i. Procurement of Recovered Materials
i. For procurements covered under these procedures, the City and its
contractors must comply with section 6002 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act,
as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. In
accordance with these requirements, the City shall only procure items
designated in the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
at 40 CFR part 247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered
materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of
competition; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that
maximizes energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative
Exhibit A
Packet Page 190
Item 15
Resolution No. _____ (2020 Series) Page 13
R ______
procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in
the EPA guidelines.
ii. This requirement applies to purchases of items when the purchase price of
the item exceeds $10,000, or the value of the quantity acquired during the
preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000.
j. Contract Provisions
i. Contract Provisions. The City’s contracts shall contain the applicable
provisions described in Appendix II to Part 200 –Contract Provisions for
Non-Federal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards.
k. Pre-Event Contracts
i. The City may choose to solicit bids and proposals and award contracts in
non-disaster times. This may include, but is not limited to, debris removal
contracts and debris monitoring contracts.

REPORT-IN-BRIEF
The East Airport area annexation, proposed by the landowners associated with the East Airport
Commerce Park and the Senn-Glick properties (EACP-S/G), includes 33 parcels and 58.31 acres
of land located within the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) (Attachment C, Annexation Map).
Of the 33 parcels within the proposed annexation, 20 parcels are developed with businesses
totaling 329,003 SF, along with two improved storm drainage parcels and one site with water
facilities serving the area. As outlined in the IS-MND (Attachment F), annexation and buildout
of the subject area includes planning for both public and private infrastructure upgrades and
improvements, public facility financing, development impact fees and the transition of the
properties into the City.
The subject area has long been identified as an annexation area, pursuant to the City Council’s
adoption of the AASP on August 23, 20051 and Ordinance No. 1481,2 which established pre-
zoning within the AASP, including the East Airport Annexation Area. The City’s General Plan3
and AASP4 (and associated Environmental Impact Reports and analyses5,6) have included the
proposed annexation area when considering potential future growth and associated demands for
public infrastructure and transportation improvements. As the proposed annexation is consistent
with these documents, a tiered IS-MND is proposed for Council adoption.
The proposed annexation of the East Airport Area would occur under the guidance of a Pre-
annexation Agreement (Attachment B) and proposed Plan for Services (Attachment D), which,
among other infrastructure improvements, would call for the conversion of the East Airport Area
to City wastewater collection, treatment and disposal, and provide for the decommissioning of
the FLWC wastewater operations.
The Planning Commission considered the proposed annexation and associated IS/MND on
January 22, 2020 and recommended the City Council authorize the annexation and adopt the
environmental document. A majority of the Commission’s discussion focused on the adequacy
of the previous environmental reviews in the context of potential buildout for the East Airport
Area. During the hearing, staff explained that major infrastructure needs, such as water supply,
available capacity to receive and treat wastewater, increased traffic, recycled water demands and
similar public services, are readily available or will be provided under the Plan for Services, as
well as contributions to the City’s Traffic Improvement Funds provided for under the Pre-
Annexation Agreement.

Item 16
Based on the evaluation presented in this report and recommended Pre-Annexation Agreement,
the proposed annexation would be consistent with the stated goals of the City’s General Plan,
AASP, and long-term interest in bringing this East Airport Area into the City.
The planned public and private infrastructure improvements are consistent with the General Plan
and AASP and are addressed in the certified Final EIRs for the Land Use and Circulation
Element (LUCE) and AASP, and the recommended IS/MND. Timing of improvements and
financial contributions by the applicants/property owners are adequate to address a coordinated
transition of the land from County control to the City.
Following City Council action, if authorized, the City will work with the applicants/property
owners on a coordinated annexation application submittal to LAFCO.
DISCUSSION
Background
The East Airport Annexation area, proposed by the applicant/property owners of the EACP-S/G
developments, include 33 parcels and 58.31 acres of land located within the AASP boundary, on
the east side of Broad Street, bounded by Farmhouse Lane and Kendall Road, including Allene
Way, Morabito Place and Prospect Street (Attachment C). The East Airport Annexation area is
located within the City’s Sphere of Influence and adopted LAFCO Urban Service Area for the
City. The area is developed with a mix of industrial, manufacturing, commercial, and office uses,
with an estimated 329,003 square feet of total building area.
Figure 1.East Airport Proposed Annexation Area
Packet Page 195
Item 16
Approximately 23 of the 33 parcels comprising the East Airport Annexation area are developed.
This includes 20 developed businesses, two storm drainage ponds and one site for water facilities
serving the area. Several of the 10 remaining vacant parcels are in various stages of the
development process with the County, for example the People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) sites
(currently two sites undergoing a “merger” to a single parcel), which will include its corporate
headquarters. PSHH has also secured planning entitlements and is currently moving through the
County Building Permit process. According to data provided by the applicant/property owners, a
combined total of 329,003 SF of buildings are completed within the East Airport Annexation
area; with 25,025 SF currently under construction and 33,448 SF in building permit review by
the County, for a total of 387,476 SF. A maximum of 693,367 SF of allowable building area is
established under County land use designations and approvals. Environmental analysis and
planning for public services for the annexation area has taken these buildout densities into
account as noted in the following summary and detailed in the IS-MND for this proposed
annexation (Attachment F).
Planning Commission Review and Recommendation
On January 22, 2020 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the
proposed annexation and associated IS/MND and provided a recommendation to the City
Council (Attachment G). The Planning Commission’s review included consideration of the
AASP, a Pre-Annexation Agreement (Attachment B) for the property, the proposed Plan for
Services (Attachment D) for the annexation, as well as the progress made in identifying public
infrastructure and private improvements necessary to accommodate the East Airport Annexation
area and provision of public services to the area.
The Commission’s discussion focused on the previous environmental reviews in the context of
potential buildout for the property. Approximately 329,000 SF of the area is built out on 20 of
the 30 developable parcels (three parcels include storm drainage and water facilities). Under
County entitlements for the parcels, up to 693,367 SF of development would be possible in the
area. As noted in the Planning Commission staff report and the proposed IS-MND, this County
potential threshold of development has been used in the environmental analysis and planning for
public services incorporated into the Pre-Annexation Agreement and Plan for Services.
However, the environmental review is tiered off of the LUCE EIR and AASP EIR that evaluated
build-out of the City, including the East Airport Annexation area based on compliance with the
approved pre-zones and General Plan land use designations. The LUCE anticipated build out
square footage of 1,791,815 SF of non-residential building area (excluding Avila Ranch),
estimated on assumptions of City development standards and conditions. These documents
evaluated environmental impacts associated with build-out and identified required improvements
to mitigate identified impacts.
As noted during Planning Commission discussion, once annexed to the City, the County
threshold of 693,367 SF would not be limiting for the area, and any development (or
redevelopment) proposed in the East Airport Annexation area would be considered on its own
merits and subject to further California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and City
Zoning and Specific Plan standards, as such applications are received.
Packet Page 196
Item 16
However, given approximately two-thirds of land is developed, and the pattern of existing
development, it is reasonably anticipated that the future build out under the City’s AASP will be
similar or only slightly higher to what was anticipated under County approvals and may not
reach intensities contemplated in the LUCE and AASP EIRs. Major infrastructure needs, such as
water supply, available capacity to receive and treat wastewater, increased traffic, recycled water
demands and similar public services are readily available or will be provided under the Plan for
Services as well as contributions to the City’s Traffic Improvement Funds provided for under the
Pre-Annexation Agreement. At public hearing’s conclusion, the Planning Commission voted 6-0
to recommend the following to City Council:
1) Approve the filing of an application for annexation of the East Airport area and direct the
Community Development Director to process the application with LAFCO;
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute any documents in a form approved by the City
Attorney related to the East Airport Annexation Area to the City of San Luis Obispo;
3) Adopt a Pre-Annexation Agreement and Plan For Services for the subject annexation;
4) Adopt an Ordinance acknowledging non-conforming uses that are located within the
annexation area; and
5) Adopt the proposed IS-MND.
Annexation Description
The applicant is proposing annexation that will result in the continuance of existing uses and
future development patterns that reflect manufacturing, offices and construction services. The
zoning designation will be C-S-SP, consistent with the pre-zoning designation pursuant to the
City Council’s adoption of the AASP on August 23, 2005 and Ordinance No. 1481.
This annexation area has historically obtained its water via on-site groundwater wells and is
currently receiving wastewater services via the Fiero Lane Water Company (FLWC). The
FLWC is the subject of a pending application with LAFCO to be annexed to the City (aka “West
Airport Annexation”). The FLWC is currently receiving City water service under an Outside
User’s Agreement approved by the San Luis Obispo LAFCO, pursuant to a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA), Municipal Code amendment, and Addendum to the AASP Final EIR
approved by the City Council in 2015.7 Under these approvals the FLWC was permitted to
continue providing wastewater services to the East Airport Area until such time as annexation of
the East Airport Area could be completed. FLWC provides wastewater service to this area via a
small private treatment plant and disposal area located within the West Airport Annexation area.
Upon annexation of the Fiero Lane-Clarion Court area to the City, wastewater services will be
converted to connect to City utility systems. In the case of the FLWC wastewater treatment plant
serving the East Airport area, this plant would need to be moved to the EACP/S-G area to
continue to provide service pending EACP/S-G annexation to the City. Staff anticipates that the
East Airport Area- annexation and conversion to City services can be completed concurrently,
eliminating the need to relocate the private treatment plant. The FLWC annexation has been
planned to cover either circumstance (relocation and continued private treatment for EACP/S-G
or concurrent conversion to City treatment system) depending on the ultimate timing of the East
Airport Area annexation.

Item 16
Public Facility Financing and Development Impact Fees
As detailed in the Pre-Annexation Agreement and as noted in the Plan for Services for the East
Airport Annexation area, annexation of the subject parcels will trigger the need for various
capital investments in the existing private systems that will be made public under the terms of the
annexation. To complete these improvements, a financing mechanism has been proposed by the
applicant/property owners that will allow capital improvements to be engineered, constructed
and paid for through the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP)8. This financing
program will allow plans to be developed, bids to be secured, and then applicant/property owners
will have the option of paying their fair share of construction costs upfront or elect to finance the
improvements in an approach very similar to assessment district financing. The City Council
adopted Resolution No. 10959 (2018 Series) in support of this financing program and it is
considered appropriate for this use. The SCIP program also allows development impact fee
contributions negotiated in the MOAs to be paid or financed in this fashion.
Water Demands and Wastewater Generation from the Proposed Annexation
Because of the partially developed nature of the annexation area, information is readily available
to use in identifying current demands and can be used to project buildout demands for each
service to ensure City resources are readily available to support the annexation areas. Current
and projected water and wastewater needs are summarized below.

Pursuant to the City’s 2018 Water and Wastewater Element, which addresses build-out under the
City’s Land Use Element (including the subject annexation), and consultation with the City
Utilities Department, existing and future water availability and sewer capacity is adequate to
serve the East Airport Annexation area.

Item 16
Policy Context
General Plan Policy Consistency
The 2014 General Plan Land Use Element (LUE) established a number of community goals,
policies and programs for annexation and development that relate to the proposed annexation
area (refer to additional discussion below), including:
1. SLO County Airport Land Use Plan Consistency
2. Annexations and Growth Management
3. Airport Area Specific Plan Consistency
4. Financing of Fair-Share Infrastructure and Development Impacts
SLO County Airport Land Use Plan Consistency.General Plan Chapter 7, Policy 7.7 provides
that the subject annexation areas shall be actively pursued by the City provided the annexations
are consistent with the Airport Area Specific Plan and LUE Policy 1.13.5 (Annexation in Airport
Area). The proposed East Airport Area annexation is consistent with the standards for land uses,
infrastructure and fair-share cost contributions of the AASP. The AASP has been determined to
be consistent with the County’s Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP), and the uses that exist within
the annexation area were approved by the County under findings of consistency with the ALUP.
As proposed, the annexation will result in a continuation of the previously permitted uses and
any future uses would be subject to AASP standards, the City’s Zoning Regulations, and
Community Design Guidelines.
There is one note regarding City land use consistency, related to several existing businesses
within the area, which include general office and governmental facilities. Some of these office
uses also include businesses that are of a non-profit nature. Under the City’s land use and zoning
district definitions, stand-alone “office” uses would not be permitted in the proposed “Service
Commercial (SC)” designation (aka “non-conforming land uses”). Offices providing support to
manufacturing, warehousing and similar uses that are located on the same site as the noted uses
within the East Airport Area are consistent with the SC designation.
In the case of the proposed annexation, it is not the City’s intent to disrupt or preclude these
existing (otherwise “non-conforming”) businesses from continuing, or to restrict replacement
uses of a similar nature. To address this, Section 12.1 of the Pre-Annexation Agreement includes
a provision that an Ordinance would be considered by City Council to propose allowing the
otherwise non-conforming uses to remain and/or be replaced by similar uses, at the discretion of
the Community Development Director. The proposed amendments to the Municipal Code would
authorize the Community Development Director to (i) waive current municipal code provisions
that prohibit re-establishing a previously existing or similar non-conforming use if the prior
existing use is ceased for periods of 12 months or more and/or (ii) permit substitution of new
non-conforming office-government uses that do not contribute to greater environmental impacts
than the previous use. A draft of this proposed Ordinance is provided as Attachment E for City
Council consideration and adoption.
Packet Page 199
Item 16
Annexations and Growth Management.Noted LUE Policies include:
1.13.3. Annexation Purpose and Timing
The City may use annexation as a growth management tool, both to enable appropriate
urban development and to protect open space. Areas within the urban reserve line which
are to be developed with urban uses should be annexed before urban development
occurs. The City may annex an area long before such development is to occur, and the
City may annex areas which are to remain permanently as open space. An area may be
annexed in phases, consistent with the city-approved specific plan or development plan
for the area. Phasing of annexation and development will reflect topography, needed
capital facilities and funding, open space objectives, and existing and proposed land
uses and roads.
1.13.5. Annexation in Airport Area
Properties in the Airport Area Specific Plan may only be annexed if they meet the
following criteria:
A. The property is contiguous to the existing city limits; and
B. The property is within the existing urban reserve line; and
C. The property is located near to existing infrastructure; and
D. Existing infrastructure capacity is available to serve the proposed development;
and
E. A development plan for the property belonging to the applicant(s) accompanies
the application for annexation; and
F. The applicant(s) agree to contribute to the cost of preparing the specific plan
and constructing area-wide infrastructure improvements according to a cost -
sharing plan maintained by the City.
Following the adoption of the City’s 2014 AASP, as noted earlier, planning for the Fiero-Clarion
annexation commenced. Since that time additional planning for the East Airport Area annexation
has been underway. This simultaneous planning process results in a greater degree of
coordination in bringing these annexation areas, which currently share independent private
infrastructure in the County, into the City. In this case, the East Airport Annexation area satisfies
all the prerequisites under General Plan LUE Policy 1.13.5 and is recommended for annexation.
Airport Area Specific Plan Consistency.The AASP includes a series of goals, policies and
programs to comprehensively guide development of the Planning Area. Additional guidelines
and development standards are included in the AASP, as well as infrastructure requirements and
a plan for implementation of the Plan. Overall goals of the AASP include:
1. Provide a framework to move from County developments primarily focused on heavier
industrial and manufacturing uses to a blend of these established uses, both inside and
outside the City, with new uses focused on lighter industrial and manufacturing uses,
professional and business park developments and employment centers.
2. Plan for proposed development, including annexations within the Planning Area, so that
public facilities are developed concurrently with new development in a rational and cost-
effective fashion.
Packet Page 200
Item 16
3. Protect and enhance natural resources within the AASP, including emphasis on
maintaining visual qualities of the surrounding hills and open space areas and protection
of creek corridors, wetlands and habitat qualities.
The uses that exist in the annexation area are consistent with the uses anticipated by the City’s
AASP, and the annexation does not include any changes to the pre-zoning previously approved
by the City Council. As described herein and in the referenced attachments, the financial and
infrastructure planning needed to bring these properties into the City have been completed. In
and of itself, the annexation of the subject properties will not change the built environment of the
area. Any expansion or modification of existing uses will be subject to City development
standards. Future planning and development would be managed under the AASP standards and
would result in consistency as new projects are brought forward.
Financing of Fair-Share Infrastructure and Development Impacts.General Plan Policies
discussed previously focus on new development paying its fair share. The proposed annexation
will be responsible under the proposed Pre-Annexation Agreement for financing infrastructure
and paying negotiated development impact fees and contributions to assist in addressing project
impacts, such as traffic, pedestrian and bicycle paths. These contributions, whether paid up front
or financed under the SCIP approach, will ensure adequate contributions are received from the
annexation areas.
Pre-Annexation Agreement
A Pre-Annexation Agreement is proposed to clarify zoning, including uses and standards, and
required improvements, easements and fees (Attachment B). Development impact fee and
timing of payment are specified for developed and undeveloped properties. The
applicant/property owners have agreed to a traffic impact fee payment of $1,000,000 to fulfill the
East Airport Annexation area’s participation in the Citywide Transportation Impact Fee program
for existing and future buildable development up to the County threshold of 680,000 SF, with
any additional development beyond that threshold subject fees applicable at the time of
development. Required improvements include utility infrastructure and testing requirements
and public works infrastructure improvements. Also included in the agreement are legal
descriptions for property being annexed, detailed development information and allocation, and
offer of dedications.
Plan for Services
The proposed annexation area has been analyzed to identify its impact on overall City services.
To document this and the recommendations derived from that analysis, a Plan for Services has
been developed for the annexation area (Attachment D). A summary of that document is
included below.
Current Conditions –East Airport Annexation Area.Broad Street/State Route 227 provides
vehicular access to the area via Farmhouse Lane and Kendall Road. Internal circulation is
supported by Allene Way, Morabito Place and Prospect Street. State Route 227 is maintained
and operated by CalTRANS and ownership would remain with the state under the proposed
annexation.
Packet Page 201
Item 16
Domestic water is delivered to the East Airport Area by on-site wells and private water
distribution systems. Wastewater is collected within the annexation area by gravity lines to a
location near Broad Street and Farmhouse Lane where a lift station operates, and then is
conveyed by force main to the FLWC private treatment plant at the end of Fiero Lane (within the
West Airport Annexation area). Treated FLWC wastewater is disposed of in a leach field format
in the County to the immediate south (and outside) the West Airport Annexation area.
Emergency services are provided by the County, but these areas are also supported by the City
under mutual aid agreements between the City and County. General government services are
provided by the County. Storm water management, collection and disposal is handled by the
private property owners under County-approved plans. Solid waste services are provided by the
County via private contract with local waste and recycling providers.
Post-Annexation Conditions –East Airport Annexation Area.Roadway rehabilitation and
upgrades are planned to bring the roads, sidewalks and signage up to City standards. Following
annexation, the roads, curbs, gutters and sidewalks will be maintained by the City under the
Pavement Management Plan.
Water system upgrades for the annexation area will include connecting to the Terrace Pressure
Zone at Broad and Fuller Streets, installation of pressure reducing valves as appropriate and
hydrant replacements. Valving and backflow prevention will be installed as directed by City
Department staff. City domestic water service will be provided under the annexation proposal.
The gravity wastewater system will be converted to interconnect with a gravity collection line in
Broad Street, and from there is conveyed to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The force main and lift station currently serving the area will be abandoned.
Recycled water supplies are also included in the Plan for Services, with extensions made by the
applicant/property owner within the annexation area, to facilitate connection to this supply when
it can be made available.
Police and Fire emergency services will be provided by the City. It is expected the mutual aid
agreements will remain between the City and County. General government services will be
assumed by the City. Storm water management and solid waste services will continue as
presently exist.
Conclusion
Based on this summary and the evaluation included in the Planning Commission’s consideration
and the January 22, 2020 staff report, the proposed East Airport Area Annexation will be
consistent with the stated goals of the City’s General Plan, AASP and long-term interest in
bringing this area into the City. Planned public and private infrastructure improvements, and the
timing of these improvements and contributions to the City, are consistent with the AASP and
Plan for Services and are adequate to address a coordinated transition of the lands from County
to City jurisdiction.

Item 16
Public Engagement
Consistent with the City’s Public Engagement and Noticing (PEN) Manual and the City’s
Municipal Code, staff noticed this item per the City’s notification requirements. Newspaper legal
advertisements were posted in The New Times ten days prior to each meeting (Planning
Commission and City Council). Additionally, postcards were sent to both tenants and owners of
properties located within 300 feet of the project site ten days before each advisory body hearing.
Public comment was provided to the Planning Commission through written correspondence and
through public testimony at the January 22, 2020 hearing.
CONCURRENCE
Staff from the Fire, Utilities, Community Services and City Attorney Departments have provided
comments during review of the proposed annexation that are incorporated into the presented
evaluations and attached Pre-Annexation Agreement and Plan for Services.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental analysis of the proposed annexation has been guided by previous work in the
form of the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans Final EIR (2005), FEIR Addendum
for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans (2015), and the City of San Luis Obispo
General Plan LUCE FEIR (2014). An Initial Study of environmental impact was prepared to
evaluate whether there have been changed circumstances since the referenced FEIRs were
completed, to analyze consistency of the annexation with the General Plan and AASP, and to
identify any potentially necessary mitigation measures that should be applied to the annexation
process, as well as the completion of needed infrastructure (new or rehabilitation) to support City
services to the areas. The Notice of Intent to Adopt an IS/MND was advertised in The New
Times on January 9, 2020 and filed with the San Luis Obispo County Clerk on January 15, 2020.
The IS/MND was also submitted to the State Clearinghouse on January 16, 2020. The 30-day
public review period started on January 15, 2020 and ended February 14, 2020
The proposed Pre-Annexation Agreement and Plan for Services were relied on to identify the
needed infrastructure that is incorporated into the Project Description for the annexation. The
conclusion of the Initial Study completed for the proposed annexation is that by incorporating the
needed infrastructure features of the Pre-Annexation Agreement and Plan for Services, in
addition to and as a direct result of the analysis of the noted FEIRs, and implementation of
mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study, the annexation and provision of infrastructure
services to the area would result in less than significant effects on the environment. Therefore, an
IS-MND is recommended for adoption in association with the proposed East Airport Area
annexation (Attachment F).

When the AASP was adopted, it was accompanied by a fiscal impact analysis, which found that
annexation of the properties within the AASP boundary would result in positive fiscal impacts
for the City; approximately $750,000 net fiscal benefit annually at build- out. The proposed
annexation will help the City realize the positive fiscal impact indicated in the fiscal analysis, as
anticipated by the AASP.
One of the key and critical next steps is to negotiate a tax exchange agreement with the County.
Approval of a tax exchange agreement is a precedent requirement before LAFCO can finalize the
proposed annexation. Because the proposed area is largely developed, the Master Tax Exchange
Agreement provides that the City and the County will negotiate both existing and future tax
revenues.9 These negotiations cannot commence until the City Council approves the filing of an
application.
ALTERNATIVES
1.Continue the item. An action to continue the item should include a detailed list of
additional information or analysis needed to make a determination on the project.
2 Deny the proposed annexation based on findings of inconsistency with the AASP and/or
General Plan. This action is not recommended because the analysis indicates the project is
consistent with the General Plan and AASP.
9 1996 Property Tax Exchange Agreement:For commercial and industrial annexation areas already substantially
developed, tax exchange will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis between the annexing city and the County to determine
an appropriate property tax sharing arrangement, based upon the principle of fiscal neutrality for the County.

Specific Plans, documents whether there have been changed circumstances since those referenced
EIRs were completed, analyzes consistency of the annexation with the General Plan and Airport Area
Specific Plan, and identifies mitigation measures that would be required to mitigate potentially
significant impacts resulting from the annexation process and the construction of needed
infrastructure (new or rehabilitation) to support City services to the areas; and
WHEREAS,the conclusion of the Initial Study of environmental impact is that by
incorporating the needed infrastructure features of the Pre-Annexation Agreement as well as the Plan
For Services, in addition to and as a direct result of the analysis of the noted FEIRs, and implementing
noted mitigation measures, any significant effects of the annexation and provision of infrastructure
services to the area would result in a less than significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1.CEQA Findings, Mitigation Measures, and Mitigation Monitoring
Program. Based upon all the evidence, the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council adopt the following California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings in support of
the project:
a) The proposed project, as conditioned herein, is consistent with the requirements of the
certified Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and Related Facilities Master
PlansFinal Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (SCH# 2000051062),and City of San
Luis Obispo Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) Update EIR (2014) (SCH#
2013121019) and this action incorporates those FEIR mitigation measures as detailed
herein.
b) A supplemental, tiered, initial study has been prepared for the project, which addresses
potential environmental impacts resulting from the proposed project, and the
Community Development Director has recommended that the results of that additional
analysis be incorporated into an Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-
MND) of environmental impacts, and recommends adoption of identified mitigation
measures, all of which are incorporated below.
c) All potentially significant effects were analyzed adequately in the referenced FEIR and
IS-MND, subject to the following mitigation measures being incorporated into the
project and the mitigation monitoring program:

Air Quality
AQ-1: Naturally Occurring Asbestos. Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) has been identified as
a toxic air contaminant by the California Air Resources Board (ARB). Under the ARB Air
Toxics Control Measure (ATCM) for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface
Mining Operations, prior to any grading activities a geologic evaluation shall be conducted
to determine if NOA is present within the area that will be disturbed. If NOA is not present,
an exemption request must be filed with the District. If NOA is found at the site, the
applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the Asbestos ATCM. This may
include development of an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan and an Asbestos Health and
Safety Program for approval by the APCD. More information on NOA can be found at
http://www.slocleanair.org/business/asbestos.asp.
AQ-2: Asbestos Material in Demolition. Demolition activities can have potential negative air
quality impacts, including issues surrounding proper handling, demolition, and disposal of
asbestos containing material (ACM). Asbestos containing materials could be encountered
during demolition or remodeling of existing buildings. Asbestos can also be found in utility
pipes/pipelines (transite pipes or insulation on pipes). If utility pipelines are scheduled for
removal or relocation or a building(s) is proposed to be removed or renovated, various
regulatory requirements may apply, including the requirements stipulated in the National
Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40CFR61, Subpart M - asbestos
NESHAP). These requirements include but are not limited to: 1) notification to the APCD,
2) an asbestos survey conducted by a Certified Asbestos Inspector, and, 3) applicable
removal and disposal requirements of identified ACM. More information on Asbestos can
be found at http://www.slocleanair.org/business/asbestos.php.
AQ-3: Developmental Burning. APCD regulations prohibit developmental burning of vegetative
material within San Luis Obispo County.
AQ-4: Permits. Portable equipment and engines 50 horsepower (hp) or greater, used during
construction activities will require California statewide portable equipment registration
(issued by the ARB) or an Air District permit. The following list is provided as a guide to
equipment and operations that may have permitting requirements, but should not be viewed
as exclusive: power screens, conveyors, diesel engines, and/or crushers; portable
generators and equipment with engines that are 50 hp or greater; internal combustion
engines; unconfined abrasive blasting operations; concrete batch plants; rock and pavement
crushing; tub grinders; and, trommel screens.
AQ-5: Standard Mitigation Measures for Construction Equipment. The standard mitigation
measures for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx), reactive organic gases (ROG), and diesel
particulate matter (DPM) emissions from construction equipment are listed below:
a.Maintain all construction equipment in proper tune according to manufacturer’s
specifications;
b. Fuel all off-road and portable diesel-powered equipment with ARB certified motor
vehicle diesel fuel (non-taxed version suitable for use off-road);
c. Use diesel construction equipment meeting ARB's Tier 2 certified engines or cleaner
off-road heavy-duty diesel engines, and comply with the State Off-Road Regulation;
Packet Page 208
Item 16
Resolution No. ________(2020 Series) Page 4
R _____
d. Use on-road heavy-duty trucks that meet the ARB’s 2007 or cleaner certification
standard for on-road heavy-duty diesel engines, and comply with the State On-Road
Regulation;
e. Construction or trucking companies with fleets that that do not have engines in their
fleet that meet the engine standards identified in the above two measures (e.g. captive
or NOx exempt area fleets) may be eligible by proving alternative compliance;
f. All on and off-road diesel equipment shall not idle for more than 5 minutes. Signs shall
be posted in the designated queuing areas and or job sites to remind drivers and
operators of the 5-minute idling limit;
g. Diesel idling within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors is not permitted;
h. Staging and queuing areas shall not be located within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors;
i. Electrify equipment when feasible;
j. Substitute gasoline-powered in place of diesel-powered equipment, where feasible;
and,
k. Use alternatively fueled construction equipment on-site where feasible, such as
compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), propane or biodiesel.
AQ-6: Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for Construction Equipment. If the estimated
ozone precursor emissions from the actual fleet for a given construction phase are expected
to exceed the APCD threshold of significance after the standard mitigation measures are
factored into the estimation, then BACT needs to be implemented to further reduce these
impacts. The BACT measures can include:
a. Further reducing emissions by expanding use of Tier 3 and Tier 4 off-road and 2010
on-road compliant engines;
b. Repowering equipment with the cleanest engines available; and
c. Installing California Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategies. These strategies are
listed at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/cvt.htm
AQ-7: Fugitive Dust Mitigation Measures. Projects with grading areas that are less than 4-acres
and that are not within 1,000 feet of any sensitive receptor shall implement the following
mitigation measures to minimize nuisance impacts and to significantly reduce fugitive dust
emissions:
a. Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible;
b. Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems, in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne
dust from leaving the site and from exceeding the APCD’s limit of 20% opacity for
greater than 3 minutes in any 60-minute period. Increased watering frequency would
be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non-potable) water
should be used whenever possible. Please note that during drought conditions, water
use may be a concern and the contractor or builder shall consider the use of an APCD-
approved dust suppressant where feasible to reduce the amount of water used for dust
control;
c. All dirt stock-pile areas should be sprayed daily as needed;
d. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as
possible, and building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless
seeding or soil binders are used;

e. All of these fugitive dust mitigation measures shall be shown on grading and building
plans; and
f. The contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the fugitive
dust emissions and enhance the implementation of the measures as necessary to
minimize dust complaints, reduce visible emissions below 20% opacity, and to prevent
transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend periods when
work may not be in progress.
Air Quality Monitoring Program: These conditions shall be noted on all project grading and
building plans. The applicant will also be required to comply with existing regulations and secure
necessary permits from the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) before the onset of grading or
demolition activities including, but not limited to additional dust control measures, and evaluation
for Naturally Occurring and Material Containing Asbestos. The applicant shall present evidence
of a plan for complying with these requirements prior to issuance of a grading or building permit
from the City. The applicant shall provide the City with the name and telephone number of the
person responsible for ensuring compliance with these requirements. The Building Inspector and
Community Development and Public Works Inspectors shall conduct field monitoring.
Biological Resources
BR-1 Prior to installation of the recycled water main on the Broad Street bridge, the project
proponent shall prepare and implement a Biological Mitigation Plan that identifies construction
related staging and maintenance areas and includes construction best management practices
(BMPs) to avoid or minimize impacts to biological resources, including all measures needed to
protect riparian woodland and avoid accidental discharge of fuels and/or materials into the creek.
Such BMPs shall include (but not be limited to) the following:
a. Prior to construction activities associated with the installation of a recycled water line on the
Broad Street bridge, the project proponent shall retain a qualified biologist to ensure
implementation of required biological mitigation measures.
b. The Plan shall include the use of debris netting to avoid accidental spill of materials into the
creek corridor. The debris netting shall be installed prior to installation of the recycled water
line on the bridge and shall not be removed until the installation of the recycled water line is
complete.
c. Prior to construction activities, the project area shall be clearly flagged or fenced so that the
contractor is aware of the limits of allowable site access, which shall not include areas within
the bed or bank of the creek.
d. Prior to the commencement of construction activities, the qualified biologist shall prepare and
deliver a worker orientation and training program for all construction staff. This program shall
include information on the protection of riparian habitat, special-status aquatic species, and
avian species. The training shall also include any applicable regulatory policies and provisions
regarding species protection and minimization measures to be implemented.

e. A biological monitor shall be present during the recycled water line installation on the bridge
and shall have the authority to stop or redirect work as needed to protect biological resources.
Prior to initiation of daily construction activities, and periodically during installation of the
recycled water line on the bridge, the biological monitor shall survey the creek within 100 feet
of the bridge. In the event any special-status species is present, construction activities shall
cease until the biological monitor has determined that the special-status species is no longer
present within 100 feet of the project site. If nesting birds are present within 500 feet of the
project site, no operation of heavy equipment shall occur until the birds have fledged and left
the nest.
f. Construction shall occur during daylight hours (7:00 AM to 7:00 PM or sunset, whichever is
sooner) to avoid impacts to nocturnal and crepuscular (dawn and dusk activity period) species.
g. No storage or fueling of equipment shall occur within 100 feet of the edge of riparian
vegetation. Pallets or secondary containment areas for chemicals, drums, or bagged materials
shall be provided. Should material spills occur, materials and/or contaminants shall be cleaned
from the Project site and recycled or disposed of to the satisfaction of the Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB).
h. All trash and construction debris shall be picked up and properly disposed at the end of each
day.
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
CR-1: Unanticipated cultural resource discovery. In the event archaeological, historic, or
paleontological resources are unearthed or discovered during any construction activities,
the following standards apply:
a. Construction activities shall cease, and the Environmental Coordinator and Planning
Department shall be notified so that the extent and location of discovered materials may
be recorded by a qualified archaeologist, and disposition of artifacts may be
accomplished in accordance with state and federal law, and in consultation with local
Native American tribal organizations.
b. In the event archaeological resources are found to include human remains, or in any
other case where human remains are discovered during construction, the County
Coroner is to be notified in addition to the Planning Department and Environmental
Coordinator so that proper disposition may be accomplished.
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Monitoring Program: Requirements for
cultural resource mitigation, in the event of unforeseen encounter of materials during the potential
relocation of the wastewater treatment facility, shall be clearly noted on all plans for project
grading and construction. Compliance will be verified by the Community Development Director.

CHAPTER 17.94 OF TITLE 17 (ZONING ORDINANCE) ESTABLISHING
PROVISIONS FOR THE CONTINUANCE OF NON-CONFORMING USES
EXISTING AT THE TIME OF ANNEXATION WITHIN THE EAST
AIRPORT AREA (PL-ANNX-2030-2018, EID-0006-2020)
WHEREAS, on January 22, 2020 the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to
prepare a recommendation to the City Council for the annexation of approximately 58.31 acres of
lands to the City commonly referred to as the East Airport Annexation Area (East Airport); and
WHERAS,the Planning Commission is recommending the City Council adopt a Resolution
to proceed with the annexation, as well as a series of additional steps including establishing a Pre-
Annexation Agreement, Land Use and Zoning Designations, a Plan For Services for the annexation
area and the adoption of an environmental determination as prescribed in Planning Commission
Resolution No. PC-1003-2020 (2020 Series); and
WHEREAS,the annexation of the East Airport area would include a zoning designation for
“Service - Commercial - Specific Plan (C-S-SP)” for the East Airport Area; and
WHEREAS,the Pre-Annexation Agreement for the East Airport Area provides that for
existing uses (established under San Luis Obispo County regulations at the time of annexation) that
may otherwise be considered “non-conforming” uses under the City’s “Service-Commercial –
Specific Plan” zoning district for the annexation area, a process be established that allows flexibility
and discretion in continuing to maintain, repair and replace said uses; and
WHEREAS, on March 17, 2020 the City Council conducted a duly noticed Public Hearing
to consider testimony and input on the proposed annexation, needed public and private infrastructure
improvements, development impact fees and charges to be paid to the City, environmental
considerations for the annexation, review of the timing and implementation of said fees and
improvements, and the issue of non-conforming land uses; and
WHEREAS,environmental analysis of the proposed annexation has been guided by
previous work in the form of the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)(2005), FEIR Addendum for the Airport Area and Margarita
Area Specific Plans (2015), and the City’s General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements
(LUCE) FEIR (2014); and
WHEREAS,an Initial Study of environmental impact was prepared for the proposed
annexation, which tiers from the certified EIRs noted above, and said Initial Study analyzes and
documents whether there have been changed circumstances since those referenced EIRs were
completed, analyzesconsistencyof the annexationwith the General Plan and Airport Area Specific
Plan, and identifies mitigation measures that would be required to mitigate potentially significant
impacts resulting from the annexation process and the construction of needed infrastructure (new
or rehabilitation) to support City services to the areas; and

Ordinance No. ______ (2020 Series) Page 2
O _____
WHEREAS, the conclusion of the Initial Study of environmental impact is that by
incorporating the needed infrastructure features of the adopted Airport Area Specific Plan and the
proposed Plan For Services, in addition to and as a direct result of the analysis of the noted EIRs, and
implementing noted mitigation measures, any significant effects of the annexation and provision of
infrastructure services to the area would result in a less than significant effect on the environment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
SECTION 1.CEQA Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council adopts the
following California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) findings in support of the project:

SUBJECT:MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH CAL POLY
REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF MITIGATION MEASURES
IDENTIFIED IN THE CAL POLY MASTER PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT (EIR).
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed MOU (Attachment A) with Cal Poly and
direct staff to continue to engage in the Cal Poly Master Plan process to ensure that impacts on
City services and infrastructure associated with build-out of the Master Plan are properly
identified and mitigated.
REPORT-IN-BRIEF
On December 19, 2019, Cal Poly published the Draft EIR for its 2035 Master Plan. The 45-day
public review period ended on February 3, 2020, and the City submitted comments identifying
its concerns with the potential environmental effects associated with build-out of the Master Plan
(Attachment B). The City provides a wide range of services to the campus, including emergency
response, water and wastewater treatment, and transit to name a few. Therefore, City review of
the Master Plan and Draft EIR is important to ensure that service impacts associated with
development of the Master Plan are identified and that agreements are developed as may be
needed to address changes in the scope or level of service provided to campus.
While developing the Draft EIR for the Master Plan, Cal Poly engaged with City staff to discuss
key issues where the City would likely play some role in mitigating identified impacts. For
example, Cal Poly lacks sufficient potable and non-potable water supply to complete build-out of
the Master Plan. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is now recommended to address
mitigation measures in the Draft EIR associated with Water and Wastewater, Transportation, and
Housing. Through the normal EIR review process, the City has provided comments on other
issue areas such as biological resources, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, and public
services. City staff is seeking direction from the City Council to continue to engage with Cal
Poly on all of the issues related to development under the Master Plan to ensure that impacts to
the City are appropriately addressed.

Item 17
DISCUSSION
Background
On December 19, 2019, Cal Poly published the Draft EIR for Cal Poly’s 2035 Master Plan. The
45-day public review period ended on February 3, 2020, and the City submitted comments
identifying its concerns with the potential environmental effects associated with build-out of the
Master Plan (Attachment B). The City’s comments were based on direction previously provided
by the City Council in the form of “Guiding Principles” (see Attachment C, Council Resolution
10676, 2015 Series).
The City has been engaged in the effort of working with Cal Poly on the Master Plan, informed
by the Guiding Principles since 2015. The Draft EIR published this past December is the second
Draft EIR developed for the Master Plan. The first Draft EIR was published, but the comments
provided by the City, the public, and other agencies never received a response. Instead, Cal Poly
took the input received, modified its project description to avoid certain environmental impacts,
and published a new Draft EIR based on an updated project description.
Although not in the City “limits”, the City of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly are intertwined in
social, economic, environmental, and shared infrastructure and services. The City provides a
wide range of services to the campus, including emergency response, water and wastewater
treatment, and transit to name a few. For its part, Cal Poly is an important economic partner for
the City –it is one of the largest employers in the County, generating significant economic
activity and benefit for City residents and businesses alike. As Cal Poly is planning to increase
enrollment to 25,000 students from the 2019 enrollment figure of 21,242, it must work in concert
with the City to ensure the health and safety, and mobility, of its student body and its existing
and future staff and faculty.
While developing the Draft EIR for the Master Plan, Cal Poly engaged with City staff to discuss
key issues where City cooperation would have a role in mitigating identified impacts. Meetings
between City staff and Cal Poly staff have focused on the following topics:
1. Water and Wastewater
2. Transportation
3. Housing and Population
4. Public Safety
5. Public Facilities, including Parks and Recreation
Purpose of Proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
MOU’s are intended to be an expression of a working relationship between two or more parties.
The proposed MOU is not a legally binding document. In short, the proposed MOU expresses
both organization’s good faith understanding of how they can work together to accomplish
certain mitigation measures identified in the areas of Water and Wastewater, and Transportation.
To that end, the MOU contemplates a variety of future agreements and collaborations, which will
be necessary to the implementation of the Master Plan, as envisioned. All of these future
agreements and activities must be authorized by the City Council in the future; either directly
during a public hearing, or through the approval of departmental work programs. In no way does
Packet Page 240
Item 17
the MOU bind this or future City Council members to any particular decision as it relates to
future negotiated agreements with Cal Poly; it simply formally acknowledges the need for such
future efforts.
Why is the MOU Limited to Water and Wastewater, Transportation, and Housing?
Ultimately, it has been Cal Poly’s assessment that City participation in the implementation of
mitigation measures is only required in the areas of Water and Wastewater, and Transportation.
Coordination in these areas would facilitate on campus housing production in the future. In
discussions with Cal Poly, City staff conveyed the City’s desire to reach agreement to
accomplish the following, associated with increased enrollment:
1. Linking enrollment growth to the provision of housing on campus so that implementation of
the Master Plan does not contribute to the scarcity of housing opportunities in the City, which
drive up housing costs for everyone.
2. Fair share contributions to General Government, Public Safety, and Parks and Recreation
facilities that are impacted by increased population.
Linking Enrollment Growth and On-Campus Housing
Cal Poly has rebuffed attempts to come to agreement on the concept of linking enrollment
growth to the provision of housing on campus. In general, two reasons are provided for this.
First, that Cal Poly has been making steady progress in its efforts to house all first and second-
year students. The following chart is provided to illustrate this trend. Second, Cal Poly and the
State University system are unwilling to set a precedent that new housing has to be provided for
new students.
It should be noted that one of the near-term projects in the Master Plan is a major new student
housing project. The construction of up to 2,000 beds is anticipated in the North Campus area
adjacent to Brizzolara Creek. The project description for the Master Plan EIR indicates that these
beds could be available as soon as 2022. This one project would increase the percentage of all
students living on campus from 35% to 44% and would eclipse projected enrollment growth over
the same timeframe. As a result, staff’s efforts have been focused on identifying constraints and
providing constructive feedback to Cal Poly staff regarding issues that could prevent plan
implementation.

Fair Share Contributions for General Government, Public Safety, and Parks and Recreation
Facilities
In 2018 the City Council adopted a new Capital Facilities Financing Plan that identified
appropriate fees for General Government, Public Safety, and Parks and Recreation facilities that
would be assessed on new development. This “nexus study” is compliant with State law (AB
1600), which gives jurisdictions the ability to levy fees on new development that represent the
development’s fair share of the costs needed to provide identified services. On several occasions,
City staff has discussed this issue with Cal Poly and provided its EIR consultants with a copy of
the nexus study. Staff believes that enrollment growth can cause an increase in population in the
City, which has costs. In 2017 when there was a spike in enrollment at Cal Poly, the City was
able to quantify and document those costs (Attachment B, 2017 letter from Katie Lichtig to
Jeffrey Armstrong, dated 9/11/2017). Although Cal Poly is not required to pay into the City’s
impact fee programs, the program provides a method to mitigate the impacts of increased
population on City facilities. However, this is another area where Cal Poly disagrees that there is
an impact on City facilities that requires mitigation. Ultimately, the Master Plan provides for a
decrease in the number of students living off campus from 14,113 in 2020 to 9,988 students in
2035. The City staff’s concern is that there is nothing in the Master Plan that links increased
enrollment to the provision of housing on campus for students or faculty, or commits Cal Poly to
accommodate increased enrollment to mitigate against anticipated impacts in the event that
enrollment growth does, in fact, outpace on campus housing production. Moreover, housing
production alone does not address other potential impacts in the City of on campus population
growth. Therefore, the potential is high for the City to experience increased demand for its
facilities along with associated costs.
Packet Page 242
Item 17
Highlights of the Proposed MOU Terms
Recitals in the Memorandum of Understanding are provided for context and in recognition of the
cooperative relationship that exists between the campus and the City on many issue fronts. City
Council direction to staff is to work with Cal Poly to ensure that the Master Plan EIR explores
the impacts of growth on campus on City services and facilities. Notably, the ability of the City
to come to agreement on MOU terms for two issue areas does not mean that the City is otherwise
in agreement with all provisions of the Master Plan and the impact analysis contained in the
Draft EIR. Significantly, staff will continue to follow up on and work with Cal Poly on all of the
issues commented on (Attachment B). It is important to note that the City’s ability to effectively
implement MOU terms is dependent on Cal Poly’s response to the City’s EIR comment letter
and how issues raised are addressed in the Final EIR and Final 2035 Cal Poly Master Plan. Cal
Poly staff has indicated that the Master Plan and Final EIR will be presented to the California
State University, Board of Trustees, at their May 2020 meeting.The City will be closely
following that process and staff intends to attend the Trustees meeting and will be prepared to
address any outstanding issues concurrently through that process.
Water and Wastewater Impacts
The City provides water distribution and treatment and wastewater collection and treatment
services to the Cal Poly campus by agreement (Attachment D). The following impacts are
identified in the Draft EIR and will require Cal Poly to reach agreement with the City to
implement appropriate mitigation measures.

Terms Proposed and Subsequent Agreements Necessary to Support Implementation of Related
Water and Wastewater Mitigation Measures
a)Develop mechanisms to confirm operational resiliency of Cal Poly’s water supply.
b) Cal Poly to secure additional, temporary non-potable water supply and wastewater capacity,
if needed, to support the development of on-campus housing.1
c) Reach agreement on Cal Poly fair-share financial contribution to support required upgrades
of City’s water treatment plant and distribution system.
d) Reach agreement on Cal Poly fair-share financial contribution towards required upgrades of
City’s water resource recovery facility and wastewater collection system.
e) Cal Poly to regularly inform City of progress towards reducing municipal sewer inflow and
infiltration.
f) Establish protocol and objectives for annual partnership meeting to address items such as
anticipated facility upgrades and related fair share contributions, inflow and infiltration
reduction projects, smart meters installation to track water supply use/flow rates, adaptive
management of water supply storage and other related water and waste water matters.
Transportation Impacts
The City provides transit services to the campus through an existing contract. The City’s ability
to help address the following environmental impacts relates directly to the success of current and
future negotiations between the City and Cal Poly to identify and provide appropriate levels of
transit service on campus to achieve shared goals.
1 The provision of a temporary non=potable water supply would require City Council approval of a General Plan
amendment. Temporary non-potable water from the City could offset Cal Poly’s current use of its Whale Rock
water supply used for agriculture irrigation. However, as it would only be provided for a short-term, this would not
provide the permanent water source needed for planned enrollment growth and on-campus housing under the Master
Plan. Cal Poly would need to acquire a permanent water source to meet this demand.

planning, TDM program evaluation issues, and potential transportation enhancement
projects, including trip monitoring, ongoing evaluation of VMT reduction, transit service
enhancements, and programs/projects to enhance active transportation and mobility safety.
Housing Impacts (Population and Housing)
The Draft EIR disclosed that it is likely enrollment increases will occur before new housing is
available on campus. This additional housing demand will drive down vacancy rates and
potentially increase the cost of housing in the City, however, this is not identified as an
environmental impact of the Master Plan. Throughout the DEIR impacts to other issue areas are
evaluated as less than significant since it is assumed additional housing on campus will have
mitigating effects in other issue areas - like Transportation and demand for public services and
facilities. As noted in the City letter to Cal Poly (Attachment B), staff is concerned that there will
be challenges for Cal Poly to make housing available in phase with enrollment increases due to a
variety of factors including needed additional environmental studies, resource agency permitting,
and additional water and wastewater capacity requirements. Although MOU terms for Housing
are not specific with respect to mitigation measures in the Draft EIR, the terms do highlight Cal
Poly and City agreement to remain engaged and work towards the expeditious development of
new on-campus housing supply.
Terms Proposed and Subsequent Agreements Necessary to avoid impacts to City Housing stock
and facilities
a) Continued active work by Cal Poly to construct the next student housing project which will
provide 1600-2000 new student beds.
b) Cal Poly will regularly inform the City of progress towards its construction of on campus
housing and provide information on capital projects, occupancy rates, and enrollment targets.
c) Establish protocol and objectives for partnership meetings to address issues related to
University and City growth and best accomplish transportation, public service and other
resource planning.
Other Environmental Impacts of Concern
As previously discussed, the City submitted a letter (Attachment B) detailing a variety of
concerns with the scope, analysis, and conclusions made in the Master Plan Draft EIR. The
following issue areas are covered in the letter.
1.Aesthetics –The Draft EIR identifies significant and unavoidable impacts as it relates to
development of the Grand/Slack site for faculty/staff housing. The City recommends that
Cal Poly incorporate standards for appropriate setbacks and height reductions on the edge
of campus to help address this issue.
Packet Page 246
Item 17
Air Quality, Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions –The
City commends Cal Poly’s commitment to using 100% on-site generated renewable
energy to support its growth. The renewable energy goal is identified as a requirement in
the GHG Analysis, Chapter 3.8, however, the associated mitigation measures do not
require all building to be powered by 100% renewable energy. In addition, the EIR does
not evaluate any large-scale energy projects that may be needed to actually achieve the
goal.
2.Biological Resources –The City expressed concern about the scope of the biological
resource evaluation, particularly as it relates to the North Campus housing site, planned
for a near-term student housing project. The lack of detailed analysis indicates that plans
for delivering new student housing on campus by 2022 will be difficult to achieve,
particularly if a habitat conservation plan is required to secure resource agency permits.
3.Hydrology and Water Quality –The Draft EIR does not evaluate impacts that could
occur due to flooding. The City and County both use the same standards found in the San
Luis Obispo Waterways Management Plan and Drainage Design Manual. If the Master
Plan identified compliance with these standards it would address City concerns that
future development on campus will be designed to accommodate flood waters
appropriately and not create downstream impacts.
4.Noise –Impacts on City residents related to noise from the Spanos Stadium Expansion
are not evaluated for considered in the Draft EIR. In addition, there is no analysis of noise
generated by construction activities, including construction traffic. It is important that Cal
Poly engage with the City to ensure that noise impacts are addressed and having
appropriate policies in the Master Plan and mitigation measures identified in the Final
EIR for noise is strongly encouraged by the City.
5. Public Services –The City highlights its concern about the impacts of growth on campus
to public facilities. As previously discussed, the City’s Capital Facilities Fee Program
nexus study identifies the incremental cost of new residents on the public facilities. The
Draft EIR lacks a complete evaluation of these impacts on facilities. It should be noted
that public safety services are covered by existing agreements and contracts that do
adequately address the cost of services for emergency response, fire suppression, and law
enforcement.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
The City Council has conducted the following meetings with associated actions as it relates to
the Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan:
1. November 17, 2015 –City Council adopts Resolution 10676 (2015 Series) with guiding
principles for engagement in the Master Plan process and authorizes the Mayor to send a
letter to Cal Poly with associated information about City policies and guidance.
2. March 5, 2019 –City Council reviewed its policy for short-term water supply alternatives for
users outside of the City and directed staff to return with a General Plan amendment to
clarify that outside users may receive non-potable water and recycled water. A proposed
General Plan amendment is necessary for the City to have an agreement with Cal Poly to
provide it with a short-term, non-potable water supply. (Attachment D)

Policy Context
Council Resolution 10676 (2015 Series) identifies the specific General Plan policies that support
City engagement in the Master Plan process across a wide variety of policy areas, including Land
Use, Circulation, Housing and Neighborhood Wellness, and Safety.
Public Engagement
City staff has corresponded with members of the public and regional agency staff on the matter
of the Cal Poly Master Plan Draft EIR. Staff has provided notification to interested parties of the
City Council meeting for this item.
CONCURRENCE
The recommendation was developed with concurrence from Utilities, Public Works, Police, Fire,
Parks and Recreation, and Administration.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act does not apply to the recommended action in this
report by general rule, because the action does not constitute a “Project” (CEQA Guidelines
Section 15378). The proposed MOU is a non-binding document that describes issue areas that
the City and Cal Poly agree to work on for the purpose of implementing mitigation measures
identified in the Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan EIR. Any future projects carried out under the MOU
will need to be approved along with an environmental determination, however, assumptions
made at this time about future impacts would be speculative.

*Note: Cal Poly pays the City for water and wastewater services by agreement, most recently updated in
2013. An update to the existing rate agreement is planned in 2020 to ensure the City collects adequate
revenue to the City’s Water and Sewer Funds, including fair share contributions to infrastructure projects.
Increased enrollment on campus includes costs for the City. The cost of increased, unplanned
enrollment was evaluated in 2017 when Cal Poly experienced a spike in enrollment that resulted
in impacts to the transit system, emergency services, parking, code enforcement, housing
(Attachment B, Attachment C, Letter Dated 9/11/2017). City staff’s analysis is that Cal Poly can
and should make fair-share contributions to the costs of City services and infrastructure needed
to serve it. The Draft EIR and Master Plan fail to take these costs into account. If costs to the
City are not adequately addressed, the fiscal impact could be significant, potentially resulting in
the delayed implementation of important infrastructure projects or unmitigated safety risks.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Continue Consideration of Draft MOU –The City Council could continue consideration of
the draft MOU for water and wastewater, and transportation items. Council should provide
staff with direction on changes or additional information needed to make a decision on this
item.
2. Do Not Authorize the MOU –The City Council could direct staff not to enter into the MOU
at this time. Direction should be provided if there are changes to the document that would be
sufficient to gain the support of a majority of Council Members.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY
AND
THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is by and between California Polytechnic State
University (“Cal Poly”) and the City of San Luis Obispo (“City”).
I. Background
Cal Poly and the City of San Luis Obispo have a long and successful history of working together
to achieve shared objectives and solve problems. Evidence of this can be found in various
agreements including those addressing transit bus service, fire protection, water and wastewater, as
well as cooperative policing. Numerous other points of collaboration large and small are indicative
of a strong and growing “town-gown” relationship. In 2016, the City and Cal Poly received a
prestigious award for the shared effort of creating the San Luis Obispo Neighborhood
Wellness/Community Civility Effort (Civility Report). The Civility Report remains an important
guiding document that supports resident quality of life and student success.
The City and Cal Poly have been similarly engaged in a process to understand the impacts of the
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan as identified in its Draft Environmental Impact Report, and the
infrastructure and service needs, including water, wastewater and transportation, for both Cal Poly
and the City. The parties understand that maintaining a high level of partnership will contribute to
more effective outcomes as Cal Poly and the City continue to grow. Recognizing the importance of
this overarching objective, the purpose of this MOU is limited to documenting certain key objectives
identified by the parties as critical to accommodating further development on campus.
II. Goals and Principles
a. The parties enter this MOU to promote cooperation, and further develop their growing
relationship.
b. The parties will endeavor to improve communication by sharing information consistently and
meeting regularly.
c. This MOU is a statement of broad policy objectives and interests of the parties that will inform
future discussions and negotiations between Cal Poly and the City and is not intended to create
any contractual commitments.
d. In the event the parties identify projects or services requiring legal and/or financial
commitments between each other, the parties will negotiate in good faith toward written
agreements.
III. Water and Wastewater
The parties have enjoyed a longstanding partnership around water as reflected in various
agreements including those addressing water and wastewater treatment as well as shared supply
(e.g., Whale Rock Commission). Over the past year, staff from both entities have collaborated
Packet Page 250
Item 17
DRAFT 4.0
closely to develop strategies to ensure the availability and reliability of Cal Poly’s water supply and
wastewater capacity in support of development planned in the 2035 Master Plan. The following
objectives will be addressed via amendment of existing agreements or establishment of new
agreements:
a. Develop mechanisms to confirm operational resiliency of Cal Poly’s water supply
b. Secure additional, temporary non-potable water supply and wastewater capacity for Cal Poly if
needed to support the development of on-campus housing
c. Reach agreement on Cal Poly fair-share financial contribution to support required upgrades of
City’s water treatment plant and distribution system
d. Reach agreement on Cal Poly fair-share financial contribution towards required upgrades of
City’s water resource recovery facility and wastewater collection system
e. Cal Poly to regularly inform City of progress towards reducing municipal sewer inflow and
infiltration
f. Establish protocol and objectives for annual partnership meeting to address items such as
anticipated facility upgrades and related fair share contributions, inflow and infiltration
reduction projects, smart meters installation to track water supply use/flow rates, adaptive
management of water supply storage and other related water and wastewater matters.
IV. Transportation
The City and Cal Poly recognize the opportunity to increase their level of partnership around
transportation planning and programs. Coordination of effort is essential to adapting and building
systems that are responsive to growing populations and evolving transportation trends.
The value of collaboration in this area has long been realized with respect to the City’s transit
system, which provides excellent service to both the City and Cal Poly populations. Continued efforts to
evaluate and, where appropriate, expand transit service and Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) policies at the Cal Poly campus will play an essential role in supporting Cal Poly’s robust TDM
program and in the City’s overarching climate action and sustainability goals to reduce Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions. Cal Poly and City agree that continued cooperation is
essential to achieve these goals and are deeply engaged in discussions around an expanded form of
partnership with the shared objective of building a more dynamic, sustainable, and mutually beneficial
transportation program.
In addition to transit service, which is critical to the parties’ transportation plans and objectives,
other specific areas that would benefit from intentional partnership include traffic safety (on and off
campus), regional transit, and increased support for active transportation projects and programs. For
example, City and Cal Poly recently initiated a collaborative effort to assess and procure a bike share
program to serve the entire community.
The parties have identified the following interests and actions for near-term implementation:
a. Ensure the City is informed and consulted as Cal Poly develops and implements its TDM Program
b. Scale and optimize transit services available to the Cal Poly community in accordance with
changing population and utilization, with the objective of reducing VMT
Packet Page 251
Item 17
DRAFT 4.0
c. Consolidate and/or coordinate active transportation projects to optimize results and avoid
conflicts between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians
d. Collaborate on initiatives to improve mobility and safety off campus
e. Identify potential mechanisms for Cal Poly to participate financially towards implementation of
transportation safety and mobility improvements that directly benefit university students, staff
and visitors.
f. Collaborate on strategies to address concerns related to campus spillover parking within
adjacent residential neighborhoods
g. Establish protocols and objectives to address transportation planning, TDM program evaluation
issues, and potential transportation enhancement projects, including trip monitoring, ongoing
evaluation of VMT reduction, transit service enhancements, and programs/projects to enhance
active transportation and mobility safety.
V. Housing
Since 2000, Cal Poly has tripled its student occupancy on campus, investing more than half a billion
dollars into student housing facilities without the use of any state funds. During that same period, Cal
Poly enrollment has grown by just over 4,300 students while the university has added more than 5,100
beds to its housing inventory. Cal Poly has provided additional housing capacity for all student
enrollment growth since 2000. Despite Cal Poly’s enrollment increases, there were approximately 658
fewer students living off campus in the fall of 2019, as compared to the fall of 2000, because Cal Poly
increased the percentage of students living on campus from 17% to 37%.
The Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan sets an even more ambitious goal of housing on-campus more than
60% of anticipated enrollment. As part of the Master Plan, Cal Poly is preparing to provide for
California’s critical higher education needs by increasing headcount enrollment by 4,056 students. As it
has done over the last two decades, Cal Poly plans to house all of its enrollment growth, as well as
significantly reduce the number of students living off campus. With Cal Poly’s planned increase of 7,200
on-campus beds articulated in the 2035 Master Plan, the university is working to reduce the number of
students living off campus by more than 3,100 students.
Cal Poly has elasticity in its current on-campus bed capacity within residence halls. When necessary
and feasible, Cal Poly will evaluate whether increased bed density should be implemented to
accommodate enrollment growth.
The parties have identified the following interests and actions for near-term implementation:
1. The parties understand the importance of the university’s next student housing project and
the related enabling projects (i.e. on-campus WRF to support water/wastewater capacity).
The University is actively working on the university’s next student housing project to build
1600-2000 new student beds.
2. Cal Poly to regularly inform the City of progress towards constructing additional housing on
campus and share its five-year capital plan, housing occupancy rates, and enrollment
targets.
Packet Page 252
Item 17
DRAFT 4.0
3. Establish protocol and objectives for annual partnership meeting to address issues related
to university and city growth and best accomplish transportation, public service and other
resource planning.
City and Cal Poly leadership hereby commit to act in good faith in pursuit of these shared objectives.

City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Draft EIR Comments
Introduction/Project Description
The City is concerned about enrollment growth on campus to the extent that it is not
planned for and that it is not phased to occur subsequent to the provision of additional
housing on campus. A spike in enrollment that occurred in 2017 provided the City with an
opportunity to quantify costs associated with unplanned enrollment growth, which resulted
in unplanned costs to the City in the areas of emergency response and transit, for
example (Katie Lichtig; September 11, 2017, attached).
The project description assumes that enrollment will increase at a lower rate over the next
two decades than it has during the past two decades, but no evidence is cited to support
this assumption. In fact, the data identified in the DEIR of past enrollment growth supports
a growth rate of 280 students per year, not the 205 students per year used throughout
the DEIR. This is equivalent to a 26.8% decrease in historic enrollment growth. No
evidence has been cited or supplied to explain why it was assumed that such a significant
decrease will occur, nor does the DEIR include any assurances in the form of enforceable
project components or mitigation measures to ensure that the planned rate of enrollment
growth will actually occur.
The way to remedy this is through enforceable policies in the master plan and/or
mitigation measures in the Final EIR that would prevent increases in enrollment beyond
what is planned for, or that trigger additional measures to mitigate impacts should
increased enrollment occur. Phasing enrollment growth in alignment with the provision of
facilities on campus (e.g. water supply, active transportation projects, transit service,
housing, etc.) is recommended as a method to address the potential for unmitigated
impacts associated with unplanned enrollment growth.
Aesthetics
Slack and Grand Project
The Faculty and Staff Workforce Housing (Slack and Grand) project is identified as a near
term project in Table 2-12. The proposed development is up to fi ve stories in height which
greatly exceeds that of the adjacent single-family residences along Slack Street.
Although the DEIR identifies this as a significant and unavoidable impact, Mitigation
Measure 3.1-1 relies only on landscaping to mitigate impacts and would not reduce
impacts to the maximum extent feasible. Feasible mitigation could also include detailed
architectural design to provide a more compatible transition to the surrounding
neighborhoods, consistent with the City’s property development standards for Edge
Conditions (SLOMC 17.70.050). The City believes that compliance with its standards for
Edge Conditions would be feasible and effective mitigation for the project contemplated
on the Slack and Grand site.
Packet Page 256
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Air Quality, Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions
City comments on these three topic areas are combined to focus comments on specific
policy interests of the City with respect to GHG emissions reduction strategies. The City
of San Luis Obispo is pursuing a 2035 Carbon Neutral goal and has taken a leadership
role across the State and country with respect to programs and standards to help achieve
this outcome. Specifically, the City has adopted a policy preference for all-electric new
buildings and is pursuing adoption of a Clean Energy Choice Program to incentivize all-
electric new development. The City is developing a Carbon Offset Requirement and has
negotiated with new housing developers to eliminate the use of natural gas in major new
subdivisions.
Therefore, the City finds the commitment that all buildings constructed under the Master
Plan will be powered by 100% on site renewable energy commendable. The City notes
that this renewable energy goal is identified as a requirement in the GHG analysis in
Chapter 3.8. However, mitigation measures in Chapter 3.8 concerning GHG emissions
do not require that all buildings be powered by 100% renewable energy. For instance, will
the WRF be 100% powered by on-site renewable energy? If so, where will the renewable
energy be generated? The DEIR does not describe or evaluate any large-scale renewable
energy projects to indicate that the requirement can be achieved. Implementation of the
Master Plan goals on energy and GHG reduction would benefit greatly by a more detailed
discussion of how the on-site renewable energy goals can be feasibly accomplished.
The DEIR relies on the VMT model to supply estimates for the Master Plan’s operational
GHG emissions. However, the VMT model excluded vehicle miles traveled by vendors
and visitors to the campus. As a result, a GHG analysis that relies on that VMT model
may not include the full scope of GHG emissions generated by this project.
The DEIR states that daily VMT estimates were “adjusted to annual VMT using a
conversion factor of 267 days per year, which accounts for Cal Poly’s academic schedule,
holidays, and enrollment levels during summer and regular academic quarters.” (DEIR,
p. 3.8-15.) Although VMT may be lower when school is not in session, the campus is still
in operation and people still visit it during those times (i.e. move in, orientation, summer
sessions, construction projects, etc.). As a result, GHG emissions still occur on the days
that the annual VMT estimate has excluded with no basis and thus is incomplete and
deprives the public from understanding the full GHG emissions of campus operations. By
basing its GHG emission estimates on a VMT model that excluded 98 emission producing
days per year, the GHG analysis is potentially underreporting the potential GHG impacts
associated with this project. In addition, Chapter 3.3 of the DEIR acknowledges that the
project will increase trip counts by 7,495 daily trips. The GHG analysis should likewise
take these trips into account and fully disclose and evaluate impacts to GHG.

Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Biological Resources
Generally, the City is concerned that the EIR and Master Plan fail to provide a program
for evaluating impacts to biological resources to guide project designs and streamline
subsequent environmental review. The presence of special status plant and animal
species is identified, but there is no guidance through Master Plan policies or detailed
mitigation measures regarding the scope and scale of future biological studies needed to
avoid impacts and secure resource agency approval for projects contemplated in the
Master Plan. The need for certain resource agency approvals (an Incidental Take Permit
and a Habitat Conservation Plan are both noted as possible requirements) may
significantly delay housing and water projects that are relied upon in the DEIR to self-
mitigate impacts to housing, transportation, GHG emissions, noise and other issue areas
identified throughout the DEIR.
Plants
The analysis in this section relies on deferral of studies to identify and mitigate impacts at
some future point, however, no program for future studies is provided to guide future
investigations. Mitigation measure 3.5-1a states surveys should be conducted prior to
approval of “specific projects under the 2035 Master Plan.” This mitigation measure is
vague as to what projects would trigger this measure (i.e. projects that may otherwise
qualify for an infill exemption). The DEIR appears to base analysis of potential impacts to
protected plant species on one reconnaissance level survey that was completed in June
2019. As noted in Table 1, Appendix E, there are many protected plant species that may
be present on the site that do not flower in June. Mitigation Measure 3.5-1b only provides
for avoidance of impacts to special status plants in the area outside of the footprint of
structures and site features. Proper evaluation in advance of the approval of building
footprints should inform their final location to potentially avoid or minimize impacts to the
greatest degree possible and avoid potential delays in Master Plan implementation.
Hydrology and Water Quality
The DEIR does not evaluate potential impacts that could result from flooding. One way to
address this would be for DEIR and Master Plan to include specific references to the
regional San Luis Obispo watershed Waterway Management Plan (WMP). The WMP has
been adopted by both the City and County as the agreed upon standard for the San Luis
Obispo watershed. The impact of not analyzing flooding is that the project may cause an
increase in the rate or amount of surface water that would result in flooding both on and
off-site, it may impede or redirect flood flows, or it may cause the release of pollutants
due to inundation that may occur within the flood plain. CEQA requires a full evaluation
of these impacts, as stated in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. By not including this full
evaluation in the DEIR, the project creates potential unmitigated impacts that have not be
disclosed to the public or decision makers.
Slack and Grand project and Retirement Community
The DEIR does not evaluate impacts to City stormwater facilities and potential runoff from
the Slack and Grand site that will flow into the City’s stormwater system and into San Luis
Packet Page 258
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Obispo Creek. Once water from on-site impervious areas enters the City right’s-of-way,
Cal Poly would be subject to the City’s stormwater permits. No analysis is provided
demonstrating how the project would comply with City permit requirements.
No analysis is provided on how the development of the retirement community may also
impact the City’s stormwater system as drainage is likely to be directed to City
infrastructure. No evidence is provided of how these projects will comply with City permit
requirements or how San Luis Obispo Creek will not be impacted by development. A
requirement for WMP compliance would address the concern.
Flooding
The DEIR does not evaluate potential floodplain impacts. City and County Floodplain
Management Regulations should be disclosed and pre- versus post-development
impacts should be analyzed. The DEIR states that buildings will be located above the
floodplain but there is no analysis or clear mitigation to ensure that floodwaters will not be
displaced creating downstream impacts. These are significant issues that could create
hazardous conditions and property damage. In particular, the DEIR does not evaluate the
extent of construction within the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and whether it is feasible to
locate new construction outside this zone. If flood flows are obstructed or capacity of the
floodplain is altered without appropriate mitigation, impacts will result.
Noise
Spanos Stadium
The Master Plan Update includes a 4,000 seat increase in capacity at Spanos Stadium
and there is no quantified analysis of existing or anticipated noise levels during events.
Absent a noise evaluation, the DEIR and Master Plan could include Mitigation Measures
or policies to ensure disclosure of future noise levels and that feasible mitigation is
applied. For example, the DEIR and/or Master Plan could provide direction regarding the
orientation of speakers away from sensitive receptors, acceptable volume levels,
restrictions on hours of events, and clear thresholds to guide the evaluation of future
stadium expansion projects.
Construction Noise
Implementation of the Master Plan Update would include construction of millions of
square feet of academic and support buildings, infrastructure improvements, a new
Wastewater Reclamation Facility (WRF), expansion of Spanos Stadium, and several
housing projects to be constructed over a period of 15 years. These activities will
introduce significant new noise sources to the areas surrounding the entrances to campus
and have the potential to create long term impacts to the surrounding areas. The DEIR
does not include disclosure of potential impacts associated with construction traffic under
3.10-1, Impact 3.1-2, or elsewhere in the DEIR. The DEIR appropriately references City
noise thresholds and it would also be appropriate to make use of standard City noise
reduction methods as outlined in the City General Plan Noise Element and Noise
Standards contained in its Municipal Code. Some of the standard noise reduction
measures include:
Packet Page 259
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
x Limit the operating times of noise-producing activities and compliance with
City Municipal Code requirements for construction hours of operation.
x Rerouting traffic and construction truck trips onto streets that can maintain
desired levels of service and which do not adjoin noise-sensitive land
uses. The DEIR includes a measure for a materials haul routes, but the
City should be consulted on these routes since City residents and will be
affected and City streets will be used.
x Lowering traffic speeds through street or intersection design methods.
x Conduct focused noise studies to supplement overall programmatic noise
analysis to determine specific measures to avoid or minimize noise
impacts.
x Best Management Practices (BMP’s) should be established which include
measures such as use of sound blankets, mufflers, temporary sound
barriers, locating stationary equipment away from residences,
neighboring property owner notification and a process to address
construction noise complaints.
x Lastly, City Streets will be impacted from construction trips and the
University should implement a pavement index evaluation before and after
construction and cover the incremental costs for impacts related to the
degradation of city roads.
Population and Housing
The City appreciates and supports the Master Plan’s efforts to plan for and provide a
significant amount of student housing. The housing goals stated in the Master Plan, if
reached, will benefit Cal Poly’s students and, importantly, the surrounding community as
well, returning needed housing stock to non-students and decreasing neighborhood
compatibility issues. However, the DEIR relies on the housing goals stated in the Master
Plan without providing assurances that the housing will actually be built or that it will be
built in time to mitigate the impacts of increased enrollment. If the on-campus housing
contemplated under the Master Plan is not timely built, impacts to transportation, air
quality, noise, and housing will be more significant than evaluated in the DEIR.
Table 2-9 sets forth a helpful yearly estimate of enrollment and on-campus housing
through the planning horizon of the Master Plan. However, the estimates are based on
two assumptions that lack substantial evidence: (1) enrollment will increase at a steady
yearly rate of only 205 students; and (2) new housing will actually be constructed
consistent with stated goals, with no enforceable accountability measures or mitigations
required if goals are not actually met. Because enrollment increases may occur at rates
and in amounts that are much greater than have been estimated in the DEIR, and
because housing may not be built on campus consistent with the Master Plan’s stated
goals, the DEIR’s assumptions lack substantial evidence as a basis for its conclusions
about environmental impacts.
Packet Page 260
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Affordable Housing
The DEIR does not include an analysis regarding potential housing impacts associated
with the increased faculty, staff, vendors, and construction personnel necessary to
complete the Master Plan and support the increase in enrollment. The 380 units proposed
for the Slack and Grand project will not accommodate the 787 new employees anticipated
under the Master Plan (when compared to 2015 levels), nor will it address housing needs
generated by the 15-year construction period or the additional employees anticipated to
use the expanded Technology Park. (See DEIR, p. 2-18.) The DEIR also does not
evaluate impacts to housing that will result from the new employees required to support
the staff at the new retirement community. If sufficient affordable housing is not available
in the City, these employees will be required to commute to the campus and to the
retirement community from outside of the area. The DEIR lacks sufficient evidence to
show that these constraints were taken into account in the VMT analysis, the estimate of
transportation impacts, or in the analysis of impacts on housing contained in this chapter.
As the DEIR admits, the City is a high-cost housing market. (DEIR, p. 3.11-15.) Yet the
DEIR does not contain any analysis of the potential impacts associated with the increased
demand for affordable housing to support the new employees associated with the Master
Plan. Both the City and County have Inclusionary Housing policies and ordinances to
ensure that new development that creates a demand for affordable housing either directly
or indirectly contributes to the construction of affordable housing units. The lack of
analysis in the DEIR could be addressed through compliance with City or County
inclusionary housing requirements.
Off-Campus Housing
The DEIR says that enrollment increases are likely to occur before new housing is
constructed on-campus, which will require more students to seek housing in the City and
County than are already living off-campus. (DEIR, p. 3.11-20.) The DEIR then dismisses
impacts to housing in the City and County by arguing that vacancy rates would
accommodate this influx of new residents. This conclusion is not supported by substantial
evidence. First, vacancy rates in the City are less than 4%, not 6.3% as reported in the
DEIR. According to the Census ACS Survey, the rental vacancy rate in 2017 was 3.63%.
Moreover, the DEIR does not cite to evidence that a 6.3% vacancy rate equates to enough
housing to accommodate at least 416 additional students (the number of additional
enrolled students anticipated in the DEIR for the years 2020 and 2021). Nor does the
DEIR provide any evidence or analysis of what will occur if new on-campus housing is
not constructed by the year 2022, however, delays could occur and there are no
mechanisms in the DEIR or Master Plan that link enrollment growth to the provision of
new housing supply on campus. Therefore, the DEIR should have evaluated impacts to
housing resulting from delays in construction of housing on-campus. The failure to do so
results in underreported and unevaluated potentially significant impacts to housing.
Public Services
In April 2018, the City of San Luis Obispo published a Capital Facilities Development
Impact Fee Nexus Study (EPS; April 16, 2018). The Nexus Study provided the City with
Packet Page 261
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
the necessary technical documentation to adopt updated fee programs to ensure that
new development covers its fair share of the costs of infrastructure and public facilities
that benefit the new development. Although the City’s fee programs do not apply to
development on campus, the Nexus Study provides a sound methodology under CEQA
for the analysis of impacts to public facilities. The City encourages Cal Poly to use this
Nexus Study as a basis to determine fair share contributions associated with the
provisions of new residential uses on campus (other than student housing), such as the
Grand/Slack workforce housing project and the retirement community project located
west of Highway 1, near Stenner Creek Road. The City has available mitigation either via
agreement or using impact fee methodology in the Nexus Study for each of the following
issue areas.
Emergency Response
The DEIR evaluates potential impacts on fire service based on per capita calls for service
to the campus in the year 2017 as well as off-campus calls for service made by students.
(DEIR, p. 3.12-15.) These projections do not include any per capita analysis of calls for
service to the new residents at the workforce housing (Slack and Grand) project or the
retirement community project. In fact, there is no discussion of how fire and police
services will be provided to these new communities, which are outside of the core area
covered by the current emergency services agreement. In addition, the future population
and planned uses at the retirement community are very different from the population and
uses planned for the remainder of the campus. Therefore, the student-related calls used
to estimate a rate of per capita calls for service cannot be relied upon to estimate impacts
to public services associated with these projects. As a result, the DEIR should identify the
need to update the current Emergency Services Agreement (July 1, 2018) prior to
development and occupancy of either project.
Law Enforcement
The DEIR does not take into consideration additional demands on SLOPD services that
will be generated by the retirement community and Slack and Grand projects. These
projects are likely to require SLOPD services as non-student residents seek help from the
San Luis Obispo police department in addition to University PD. Moreover, the retirement
community’s separation from the main campus makes it even more likely that calls for
service will be answered by the Sheriff’s Department as the site is located outside of City
limits and across Highway 1 from the main campus. The DEIR does not disclose or
evaluate how police services will be provided to these new communities nor how impacts
to SLOPD and the Sheriff’s Department will be addressed.
Parks and Recreation
The DEIR analyzes potential impacts to recreational and park facilities using an estimated
total campus population of 28,935 to determine the total acres of recreational facilities
needed to serve the population. This estimate excludes the proposed retirement
community population, and possibly the Slack and Grand project population as well,
which together may add another 1,025 residents and 60 employees to the Master Plan’s
Packet Page 262
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
total population. As a result, the DEIR potentially underestimates the recreational needs
and impacts of the increase in population contemplated under the Master Plan.
Transportation
Facility Expansion
The Master Plan project description includes expansion of existing sport and special event
facilities on campus, including a 4,000-seat expansion of Alex Spanos Stadium. Trip
generation from these expansions would generate thousands of additional trips in
relatively short time periods and there are no policies or programs that would limit the use
of these facilities. While level of service (LOS) or other measures of auto capacity may no
longer be required as applicable thresholds of significance for analysis of transportation
impacts under CEQA, the magnitude of additional trip generation (auto, bikes, peds,
transit) from these expansions should be quantified to guide system planning and traffic
handling plans and programs. The DEIR’s transportation analysis should be updated to
include an evaluation of the venues and events proposed in the Master Plan and the
adequacy of the existing circulation system to accommodate these increased demands.
In addition, the Master Plan should be updated with policies and programs that govern the
use of these facilities.
Enrollment and Housing Linkage
The Master Plan provides estimates or forecasts for student enrollment levels and on-
campus housing production through a phased development program through 2035. The
transportation impact analysis provided in the DEIR considers the increased production of
on-campus housing as a significant contributor towards reducing campus-generated VMT
by providing opportunities for students to live in a location where most of their daily travel
is possible via short trips by foot, bicycle or transit. However, the Master Plan does not
include any formal policies, programs or mitigation mechanisms that govern actual
enrollment levels or require the timely production of on-campus housing in tandem with,
or in advance of, increases in on-campus enrollment or traffic-generating development. To
address this, the Master Plan and DEIR should include policies or programs to govern
actual enrollment and development to a level that is on pace with actual production of on-
campus housing and informed by the actual effectiveness of the proposed Transportation
Demand Management (TDM) programs as evaluated by regular trip/VMT monitoring
activities.
Multimodal Transportation Demand
It is understood that auto level of service (LOS) and other measures of traffic congestion
were not included to determine transportation impacts under CEQA pursuant to SB 743. In
turn, the EIR Transportation section includes no quantitative estimates of auto traffic
generation associated with buildout of the Master Plan. While the DEIR may not be
required to evaluate auto traffic generation with respect to LOS or other capacity-related
significance criteria to determine transportation impacts, complete omission of this
information from the Transportation chapter presents significant challenges for entities
such as the City with respect to system planning for streets and intersections that provide
direct access to the Cal Poly Campus. For purposes of full disclosure, the City request that

Item 17

Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
the Final EIR include the estimated number of net new daily, AM and PM peak hour vehicle
trips expected to be added to City streets within the vicinity of the campus. This information
was provided in Appendix G for bicycle and pedestrian trips and should be replicated for
auto trips.
VMT Impacts and Mitigation
The DEIR identifies a potentially significant impact (Impact 3.13-1) due to project-
generated VMT that exceeds regional VMT thresholds. The corresponding mitigation
measure (Mitigation 3.13-1) requires development and implementation of a
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan and concludes that this impact would
be reduced to a “less-than-significant” level. The adequacy of this mitigation approach is
questionable for several reasons.
The EIR concludes that the TDM measures outlined in Mitigation Measure 3.13-1 would
reduce campus-wide VMT to the level required to mitigate the identified impact—a net
reduction of 5.04 VMT per service population (about 21% below the baseline Existing
plus Project VTM estimates). However, the document provides no supporting analysis or
documentation to verify whether this level of reduction is feasible or whether similar
results have been achieved at comparable university campuses. Studies show that the
ultimate efficacy of a TDM program can vary significantly from project to project. While
there is available data and planning-level models that can be used for estimating TDM
reductions—such as the CAPCOA model referenced in the CSU Transportation Impact
Study Manual—the DEIR provides no supporting analysis or documentation to support
the claims presented.
The CSU CEQA Handbook recommends caution regarding use of mitigation measures
that could be interpreted as “deferred mitigation.” On pg. 84-85, the Handbook
states: The CSU CEQA Handbook recommends caution regarding use of mitigation
measures that could be interpreted as “deferred mitigation”. On pg. 84-85, the Handbook
states:
“Mitigation measures cannot defer to future studies, consultations, or future
undefined time. Such measures are called “deferred mitigation” and are easy
points for legal challenge. In some situations, it is not known whether there
will be an impact without doing additional surveys or studies, especially for
large and long-term projects or programs for which a Program EIR is
prepared. To avoid improper “deferred mitigation” you must clearly identify
what you will do if any future studies identify that there could be an impact.
Alternatively, if such information is not yet available, you need to incorporate
performance standards or criteria into the measure to ensure that the
strategies ultimately selected in fact will reduce the impact as reported in the
CEQA document.”
The Handbook continues with the following guidance:
Packet Page 264
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
“Remember: If some doubt exists as to whether a mitigation measure will fully
mitigate the impact, it is good practice to indicate that the impact will remain
significant and unavoidable even with the incorporation of mitigation.”
As currently presented, the strategies identified under Mitigation Measure 3.13-1 appear
to be deferred mitigation. The DEIR recommends development of a TDM plan and
identifies potential strategies that could be implemented to reduce vehicle trip generation,
including a biennial monitoring program to track the efficacy of the TDM plan.
Of particular concern is the fact that this mitigation measure does not describe how VMT
will be measured as part of this monitoring program, what performance criteria will be
used to evaluate progress towards achieving the targeted VMT reduction, or what specific
actions will be taken if monitoring results reveal that TDM strategies have not been
sufficiently effective. The City has relayed on several occasions that this was a minimum
measure that must be met and its absence is noticeable and does not provide the level
of confidence that TDM or monitoring will be an integral part of achieving the University’s
projected mode shifts.
Furthermore, this mitigation strategy does not require any measurable level of TDM
implementation or VMT reduction prior to implementation of potential VMT-increasing
activities, such as increases to student enrollment and on-campus employment without
corresponding production of on-campus housing, allowing impacts to occur before
mitigation would be implemented. This strategy relies on monitoring every two years to
verify if required VMT reductions have been achieved, which potentially defers necessary
mitigation until after an impact has materialized. Monitoring should be conducted
annually, and mitigation measures should be taken immediately if VMT is higher than
projected.
x It should be noted that a primary component of the TDM plan includes expansion
of local and regional public transit services to the campus through coordination and
fair-share contributions towards increasing SLO Transit and SLORTA bus services.
However, because these transit services are not operated by Cal Poly, the university
cannot ensure that these services are expanded as needed to meet the required VMT
reduction targets. If VTM increases are not closely monitored and needed fair-share
contributions are not provided prior to impacts occurring and/or if the amount of fair-
share contributions is inadequate, the City would be put in a position of having to fund
the gap to provide the increased service, or the City may not be able to shoulder the
increased financial burden depending on the budget priorities at the time. The City of
San Luis Obispo is agreeable to negotiating an MOU with the campus for the purpose
of implementing this mitigation measure that broadly seeks to bring Cal Poly
contributions in line with current and future operational needs.
Within the Master Plan, Implementation Program 20 states that “Cal Poly should partner
with the City to help develop off-campus bicycle improvements as prescribed in the City’s
bike plan and that improve connections between the campus and community.” Further,
DEIR Mitigation Measure 3.13-1 outlines a TDM program that includes a general
recommendation to “support active transportation projects on and near campus through
Packet Page 265
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
infrastructure improvements to enhance safety and efficiency of these travel modes.” The
City of San Luis Obispo is agreeable to negotiating an MOU with the campus for the
purpose of implementing this mitigation measure.
However, the DEIR should identify more specific recommendations or mechanisms for
contributing towards active transportation infrastructure improvements within the vicinity
of the campus. Potential mechanisms for proportionate contribution may include
participation in the City’s Transportation Impact Fee program, which funds citywide
bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements, or direct participation in projects near
campus, such as the addition of separated/protected bicycle facilities, installation of
accessible pedestrian curb ramps, additional street lighting, and intersection crossing
enhancements.
Traffic Safety
The Environmental Setting section of the EIR Transportation Chapter provides a brief
summary of existing collision trends for streets within the vicinity of the campus, as
referenced from recent editions of the City’s Annual Traffic Safety Report. However, the
Impacts and Mitigation Measures section includes virtually no discussion or analysis of
potential traffic safety issues outside of the campus boundaries with implementation of
the Master Plan.
Per the DEIR, build-out of the Master Plan is projected to add approximately 930 new
bicycle trips, 850 new pedestrian trips, and 133,000 net new VMT per day to City
transportation facilities within the vicinity of the campus. There is no discussion of
whether these increases in multimodal traffic demand can be accommodated by
existing off-campus infrastructure, or whether this demand has potential to exacerbate
existing traffic safety issues within the campus vicinity. Additional analysis of potential
traffic safety considerations should be provided as follows:
A.Evaluate potential for additional traffic (auto, bike & pedestrian) generated by
the campus to increase collision rates at the following high-collision rate
locations as identified in recent City Traffic Safety Reports:

x Grand/Loomis
x California/Mill
x Foothill/Santa Rosa

Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
impacts related to turn pocket queue spillback, or sight distance impacts as a result
of project traffic.
Parking
The project does not include sufficient parking improvements to accommodate the
increase in on-campus population contemplated in the Master Plan. It is also unclear if
this is a formal aspect of the proposed TDM program. Even if first and second-year
students are precluded from parking cars on-campus, the addition of only 174 new
parking spaces will not be sufficient for the new faculty, support staff, and employees who
will be working on campus, nor has evidence been presented that sufficient parking will
be available for vendors, temporary employees, or event attendees, including attendees
at the planned expansion of Spanos Stadium and the Technology Park expansion.
Moreover, the project description indicates that Cal Poly intends to limit parking for certain
students, however, these limitations are stated as intentions and not enforceable
restrictions and the DEIR provides no evidence that the lack of parking on campus will
actually persuade new students, employees, and visitors to not drive personal
automobiles to campus. As the on-campus population increases, it is reasonable to
assume that more cars will come with their owners. The DEIR does not describe how Cal
Poly intends to ensure that students who live on or off campus do not bring cars to the
area and park them off campus. This lack of planning for parking will perpetuate and
increase impacts on the neighborhoods surrounding the campus where employees and
visitors will be forced to search for parking. This, in turn, will create additional impacts to
noise, roadway maintenance, and air quality in these areas. These impacts have not been
evaluated properly in the DEIR. The City believes that coordination of specific mitigation
measures on the matter of parking is important to ensure that any impacts created by a
lack of parking on-campus do not simply spill over to City neighborhoods off-campus.
Utilities and Service Systems Utilities
Water Supply Resiliency
The DEIR is required to evaluate water resiliency to ensure that sufficient water supplies
will exist to serve buildout under the Master Plan. The DEIR includes no evidence or
information regarding how Cal Poly is planning for water resiliency during times when
Whale Rock dam, spillway, pump stations, or pipeline are unavailable due to maintenance
needs or construction. Cal Poly worked with the City to identify potential water supply
alternatives to improve its water resiliency; however, Cal Poly did not provide this
information in the DEIR. The 2007 Memorandum of Understanding (2007 MOU) between
City and the University regarding capacity interest in City water and wastewater facilities
does not address water supply resiliency.
Water Storage/Reservoir Expansion
The DEIR does not include an analysis of the impacts associated with the expansion of
Cal Poly’s existing reservoir system for recycled water storage necessary to support Cal
Poly’s proposed Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and future water needs contemplated
under the Master Plan. Appendix H, page 24, explains that Cal Poly’s “proposed WRF
would also require expansion of the existing reservoir system to a maximum (total) of 100
Packet Page 267
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
AF. If the existing reservoir system cannot be expanded then the University may
potentially construct two additional reservoirs for recycled water storage from the WRF.”
Water storage is also generally described on Project Description on page 2-40 and page
2-47. This expansion, or new construction of additional reservoirs, is not included in the
impact analysis. One hundred acre-feet of water storage is nearly 32.6 million gallons - a
substantial amount of water. The Master Plan EIR does not identify where this storage
will be located, nor does the DEIR analyze the environmental impacts associated with
construction and maintenance of these significant new facilities. It is also unclear whether
the storage will be sized and under the jurisdiction of the Division of Safety of Dams. If
so, the Division of Safety of Dams should be identified as a responsible agency and
should be consulted regarding the adequacy, design, and permitting of the storage
facilities. Because this information is not provided int the DEIR, impacts associated with
providing the water and wastewater services necessary to support buildout of the Master
Plan may be understated.
The DEIR does not include analysis of daily and monthly non-potable water demands to
support its water supply impact analysis. The daily and monthly demand pattern for
agricultural and landscape irrigation is relevant to determining whether Cal Poly’s
proposed WRF will generate a sufficient and reliable water supply. Based on 2015 and
2019 data, Cal Poly’s non-potable demand was over 850,000 gallons per day in July,
when average daily wastewater generation was ~38,000 gallons in 2015 and ~75,000
gallons in 2019 for the entire existing campus.
The DEIR does not include information regarding the existing non-potable water storage
capacity on-campus, the extent to which existing daily agricultural water demand will be
feasibly supplied with water from the WRF, and the availability of sufficient storage to
ensure delivery of enough water to meet agricultural demand. In other words, existing
daily agricultural water demand is not estimated in the DEIR to support the concept that
this demand will be offset with non-potable water from the proposed WRF. This
information is necessary to inform the sizing of the needed storage and to illustrate that
the planned water sources required to support buildout of the Master Plan are feasible.
As a result, the DEIR does not include the information necessary to support its
conclusions regarding impacts to agricultural uses and to water demands resulting from
buildout of the Master Plan.
The DEIR acknowledges that “some adjustments to the system, such as increased
pumping to reservoirs or storage tanks may be necessary,” however, no analysis was
provided regarding the environmental impacts associated with the siting, construction,
and maintenance of these new reservoirs and storage tanks. (DEIR, p. 3.14-14) In fact,
neither the DEIR nor the Master Plan identify how many of these storage facilities are
needed, where they will be located, or whether it is feasible to locate them in places that
will not impact biological, cultural, hydrologic, and other resources. Instead, it is likely that
the amount of storage that will be necessary to serve the new development contemplated
in the Master Plan will be significant, which will likewise create significant impacts to
sensitive resources. As a result, the DEIR fails to identify potentially significant impacts
Packet Page 268
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
associated with the infrastructure necessary to provide sufficient water to campus under
the Master Plan. The DEIR’s conclusion that the Master Plan will not require or result in
the relocation or construction of new or expanded water infrastructure is not consistent
with what is proposed by Cal Poly in the Master Plan (100 acre-feet of storage). This is a
significant problem for the DEIR, as well as the Master Plan, as new housing and other
amenities will not be able to be completed until these necessary improvements are
completed and thus potentially creates a cascade of unmitigated impacts if campus
population increases through increases in enrollment that does not include concomitant
housing.
Short-Term Non-Potable Water Supplies
Mitigation Measure 3.14-3 relies on the possibility that the City may provide short-term
non-potable water supplies to Cal Poly in the event that the WRF is not completed and
capable of providing sufficient water supplies for near term projects. A number of
important actions by the City would be required in order to enable this to occur. The City’s
General Plan will need to be amended to enable it to provide non-potable water to Cal
Poly on a short term-basis 1, and an analysis must be completed to ensure that providing
this water would not interfere with the City’s existing entitlements and permits. A contract
will also be required, which has not been negotiated between the City and Cal Poly. The
City is open to discussing this arrangement, but additional time, resources, and City
Council action is necessary, which the DEIR should acknowledge. Additionally, this
measure defers an analysis of whether the provision of such non-potable water by the
City would create its own negative environmental impacts.
A provision should be added to Measure 3.14-3 to allow reliance on such temporary non-
potable sources only if no negative environmental impacts would occur as a result and
for the sole purpose of delivering on campus housing. Finally, this measure does not
include specific requirements for measuring and monitoring water demand in conjunction
with any arrangement for short-term water supplies from the City and expected
completion of the WRF. The measure should be amended to require measuring and
monitoring of water demand and supplies in sufficient intervals and using realistic and
supported projections of future supply and demand to ensure that enough potable water
will truly be available to serve new construction and non-potable water will be available
to continue to serve Cal Poly’s existing agricultural uses.
The DEIR concludes that the Master Plan will have sufficient water supplies available to
serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and
multiple dry years due to implementation of Measure 3.14-3. However, this measure does
not account for the possibility that new housing and other water-dependent construction

Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
may be built under the Master Plan before the WRF and associated expansion of existing
water storage reservoirs, or construction of new water storage reservoirs, are completed
or capable of providing sufficient water to offset demand and that short-term non-potable
water supplies may be available for some period of time but become unavailable before
the WRF is completed. In this event, the new housing and other buildings would be
occupied but Cal Poly would not have sufficient potable water available through its Whale
Rock entitlement, or through a temporary non-potable supply from the City, to supply all
of its demand. It is also possible that problems will occur during the design, construction,
and permitting of the WRF and associated expansion of existing water storage reservoirs,
or construction of new water storage reservoirs, such that it becomes significantly delayed
or rendered infeasible altogether. Because the design of the WRF is not complete and
there is currently no plan for sufficient storage capacity, it is questionable that reliance on
the WRF is feasible to mitigate the Master Plan’s future water demand.
It is highly unlikely that the WRF and associated water storage will be constructed and
operational by the year 2022. Design, construction, and permitting of new water
reclamation and water storage facilities take significant amounts of time and resources.
As a result, it is likely that Cal Poly will require alternative water sources to supply new
development under the Master Plan, as contemplated in Mitigation Measure 3.14-3, and
additional capacity within the City’s WRRF to accommodate growth until Cal Poly’s WRF
is operational. To the extent that a delay in completion of the WRF also delays completion
of new on-campus housing to defray housing, transportation, air quality, and GHG
impacts caused by increased enrollment, these would be new or substantially increased
impacts of the Master Plan that are not evaluated or disclosed in the DEIR.
Impacts to the City’s Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF)
Table 3.14-8 summarizes projected wastewater flows under full buildout of the Master
Plan. However, the table does not include an estimate of flows occurring during the years
2015-2020. From 2015 to 2019, flows have increased from 197,557 gallons per day (gpd)
in 2015 to 274,795 gpd in 2019, an increase in the annual average 79,480 gpd. The 2007
MOU identifies Cal Poly’s capacity interest as “daily dry weather flow calculated on a
monthly average of .471 million gallons daily.”Cal Poly’s monthly average dry weather
flow has increased from 302,595 gpd in 2015 to 384,627 gpd in 2019, an increase in
82,032 gpd. By not including the increased flows that have occurred since the year 2015,
the DEIR underestimates the total amount of wastewater that will be generated under the
Master Plan. This underestimation impacts Cal Poly’s ability to rely on its proposed WRF
and the City’s wastewater services to meet total Master Plan demand.
The baseline wastewater flows identified in Table 3.14-10 do not identify appropriate flows
to accurately measure impacts associated with increased wastewater generated under
the Master Plan. Table 3.14-10 identifies an “average annual flow” in 2015. However, as
described above, the 2007 MOU for wastewater treatment services uses daily dry
weather flow calculated on a monthly average, which is higher. Using Cal Poly’s
wastewater flow for 2019 leaves less than an additional 100,000 gpd available for the
year 2020. If projected flow increases are correct for the year 2025 as identified in Table
3.14-10 (114,433 gpd), Cal Poly does not have sufficient capacity under the 2007 MOU
Packet Page 270
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
regarding capacity interest in City facilities to support Master Plan development planned
to be online in 2025. This is a potentially significant impact that is not disclosed, evaluated,
or mitigated in the DEIR.
Given the likelihood of delays in completion, permitting, and operation of the new WRF,
it will be likely that Cal Poly will rely on increased wastewater treatment services the City
to support the Master Plan. Mitigation Measure 3.14-4a would preclude operation of new
facilities under the Master Plan until the WRF is completed or sufficient wastewater
services are available from the City. However, as stated above, based on the trend from
2015 to 2019, Cal Poly is expected to exceed existing capacity at the City’s WRRF in the
year 2025 under the 2007 MOU. As a result, it is likely that new on-campus housing
projects will be delayed even though enrollment is expected to increase. This will result
in new and increased impacts to housing, transportation, air quality, and GHG that have
not been analyzed in the DEIR.
Impacts to the City’s Wastewater Collection System
The DEIR acknowledges that Cal Poly’s existing peak wet weather wastewater flows
exceed the 1.2 mgd limitation included in the 2007 MOU between the City and Cal Poly,
that flows exceeded the limit in the year 2015, and that even implementation of the WRF
and other conservation measures will not adequately address these exceedances.
Mitigation Measure 3.14-4b addresses this issue by requiring Cal Poly to implement inflow
and infiltration reduction projects to reduce peak wet weather flows, which the City
appreciates. However, the measure requires that the inflow and infiltration reduction
projects reduce flows to 2018/2019 levels, not to the 1.2 mgd limitation stated in the 2007
MOU which is not adequate mitigation nor consistent with its commitment to the City of
San Luis Obispo.
The DEIR does not evaluate the environmental effects of peak wet weather flows caused
by inflow and infiltration into Cal Poly’s sewer pipes. These peak flows utilize capacity
reserved for future development in the City and can lead to sanitary sewer overflows in
the City’s wastewater collection system. Sanitary sewer overflows are a public health risk
and can result in NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit
violations, fines from the Central Coast Water Board, beach closures by the San Luis
Obispo County Public Health Department, Clean Water Act third party lawsuits, or a long-
term enforcement agreement referred to as a consent decree. Environmental impacts
from Cal Poly’s peak wet weather flows must be disclosed and evaluated in the DEIR.
Impacts to the City’s Water Treatment Plant and Water Distribution System
The Water Supply Assessment, included in DEIR Appendix H, assumes that the portion
of Cal Poly’s Whale Rock supply currently used for agricultural uses will be replaced with
non-potable water from Cal Poly’s proposed WRF, freeing up all of Cal Poly’s Whale Rock
water for potable use to serve new residents, students, and employees on campus.
(DEIR, p. 3.14-12.) This will require the City to treat more water than it is currently treating
for Cal Poly. Although the DEIR acknowledges that the 2007 MOU provides Cal Poly up
to 1,000 AFY of water treatment services (1.44 mgd), peak day projections provided in
Table 15 exceed 1.44 mgd. This impact is not identified in Impact 3.14.1.
Packet Page 271
Item 17
City of San Luis Obispo Comments
Cal Poly 2035 Master Plan Draft EIR
Additionally, the impact analysis in section 3.14.1 references the Water Supply
Assessment which includes numerous assumptions related to the operation of the City's
water distribution system that are not identified in the 2007 MOU and were not validated
by the City prior to inclusion in the DEIR. Without a detailed review and understanding of
the modeling assumptions, the City does not agree with the conclusion under Impact
3.14.1, on page 3.14-14 that “Modeling indicates that there is adequate conveyance
capacity to accommodate anticipated development associated with the 2035 Master Plan
under average day demand, peak daily demand, and peak hourly demand.” Also, due to
these assumptions, the City does not agree with the determination provided in Section
1.4 (3) that “There is adequate City potable water conveyance capacity under ADD, PDD,
PHD, and PDD + City FF for all Cal Poly flow conditions modeled.”i Both Section 3.14
and Appendix H refer to a Cal Poly Utility Master Plan with an anticipated completion date
in early 2020. This document has not been made available for City review and may also
include invalid assumptions related to the operation of the City's water distribution system.
A modification to the MOU between Cal Poly and the City is needed to clarify assumptions
related to peaking factors, fire flow, storage, and conveyance capacity to determine
whether significant capital improvements are necessary to Cal Poly’s or the City’s water
distribution systems for buildout of the Master Plan.
Water and Wastewater Service to the Proposed Retirement Community
The DEIR does not disclose impacts associated with connecting the planned retirement
community located west of Highway 1 from the rest of campus and may rely on the City’s
water distribution system for its water service (including fire flow and storage) and/or the
City’s wastewater collection system. It is unclear whether any planning or environmental
analysis has been conducted to determine that water and wastewater services to these
areas is available and can be feasibly provided, or if Cal Poly is intending to rely on the
City to provide domestic water, fire flow, and water storage and treat wastewater from this
facilities. As identified in the City’s General Plan, the City’s wastewater collection system
is capacity constrained during peak wet weather in the service area adjacent to Cal Poly’s
proposed retirement community. Average wastewater flow is estimated at 21,129 gpd in
Appendix I, Table 1, in 2030. If Cal Poly is proposing to connect to the City for wastewater
collection service, mitigation would be required to achieve an adequate, measurable
offset of wet weather wastewater flows.
i “ADD” is average day demand; “PDD” is peak daily demand; “PHD” is peak hourly demand; City FF is
City fire flow.
