SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT: UNREINFORCED MASONRY HAZARD MITIGATION
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive report and discuss status of Unreinforced Masonry Hazard Mitigation (URM)Program.
2. Direct staff to return to Council with Extension Agreements with property owners of Garden
Street Terraces, Chinatown, and Naman projects to allow additional time for these projects to
complete their permitting and construction.
3. Direct staff to return to Council with change to the URM Ordinance as necessitated by
Council action.
4. Reaffirm the July 1, 2010 deadline for ten buildings described in the report.
5. Direct staff to return to Council with an amendment to the fee schedule that eliminates the
favorable fees for seismic retrofit projects where the original pemvt has expired due to
inaction on the project.
REPORT IN BRIEF
This report presents an update on the status of the buildings subject to the URM Program
requirements, with particular attention to those buildings subject to the July 1, 2009 and July 1,
2010 deadlines. It reviews specific progress by buildings in the July 1, 2010 deadline group and
highlights the excellent work of the owners in the 2012 deadline group. In recognition of the
diligent work undertaken to obtain necessary permits for the large projects, it supports the
recommendations of the Chamber of Commerce Seismic Task Force to allow additional time for the
three large development projects originally assigned a July 1, 2010 deadline. Lastly,it provides an
overview of the penalties that may be imposed on building owners in the event they do not comply
with the assigned seismic strengthening deadline or the terms of their extension contract.
DISCUSSION
Background
In 1997, the City of San Luis Obispo adopted its first seismic retrofit ordinance. This ordinance
required the seismic strengthening by 2017 of the 126 buildings identified on the "Inventory of
Hazardous Buildings". To craft this ordinance, the City worked in conjunction with the
Chamber of Commerce Seismic Task Force, a committee comprised of building owners,
� 1- l
Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 2
business owners, and engineers formed in 1989 and still working with the City to craft solutions
today.
In 2004, the City adopted changes to the URM Ordinance, Attachment 1, Ordinance No. 1453
(2004 URM Ordinance), in response to the destruction and deaths in Paso Robles resulting from
the December 2003 San Simeon earthquake. The 2004 URM Ordinance established earlier
deadlines for seismic strengthening, moving them forward from 2017 to 2010, while recognizing
the operational needs of building owners. The Ordinance allowed the improvements to be
completed in two stages at the discretion of the building owner until July 1, 2007: "Level A", a
partial retrofit consisting of specific connections and parapet bracing; and "Level B", the
completion of full strengthening. If Level A was completed by July 1, 2007, the Level B
deadline was extended from July 1, 2010 to July 1, 2012.
The 2004 URM Ordinance also required owners to obtain necessary planning approvals and a
construction permit for their retrofit projects by January 2006. These permits were issued for
most inventoried buildings and, unlike conventional permits that expire after one year, these
strengthening permits remain "open" until the work is accomplished or the applicable completion
deadline passes. Fees for the strengthening permit, including entitlements and additional
upgrades, were established at a significantly reduced rate. By requiring owners to obtain a
construction permit early in the process, the Council sought to eliminate procedural obstacles
that could slow down an owner's ability to proceed with the strengthening. As a result, all
building owners possess valid permits to complete seismic strengthening, except for two
buildings where the seismic plans were guaranteed through a letter of credit with the City.
Since 2004; the Economic Development staff, Planning Division staff and Building Division
staff have collaborated to help URM owners achieve compliance with the URM deadlines
through permit streamlining, outreach and facilitation of the URM strengthening projects.
Outreach efforts continue to include publication of a periodic newsletter, What's Shakin;
personal contact with building owners; and responses to questions from building owners, tenants,
construction professionals and the public.
Deadlines Established on July 1,2007
The 2004 URM Ordinance provides that:
"the City Council will set a Level B completion deadline for each building (not strengthened
to a minimum of Level A by July 1, 2007) on the basis of relative hazard, but no later than
July 1, 2010."
The Chamber of Commerce Seismic Task Force, developed a hazard rating system which was
used to rate the relative hazard of each building remaining on the Inventory shown in Attachment
2, Hazard Rating Scores. On January 9, 2007, the Council considered the hazard rating system
for assigning deadlines. Using this information as well as factoring in practical information,
Council assigned Level B completion deadlines to each of the remaining 66 unstrengthened
buildings by Resolution No. 9890 (2007), Attachment 3. These deadlines became effective on
July 1, 2007. Building completion assignments ranged from July 1, 2008, the earliest deadline
group, to July 1, 2010 the latest deadline group as shown on Attachment 4, Seismic Retrofit
Completion Dates of July 1, 2007, updated for Status as of 1/1/2010.
Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation,Program Page 3
Council Action in 2009
In response to the severe economic downturn of 2008, the Council directed staff to allow
building owners with a seismic strengthening deadline of July 1, 2009 to request an additional
year to retrofit. Staff entered into Extension Agreements with ten building owners for a new
deadline of July 1, 2010. The Extension Agreements included requirements common to all
properties in this situation, such as education/posting information in the workplace about what to
do in the event of an earthquake and indemnification of the City in the case of damage from an
earthquake. In addition, the Agreements also included requirements specific to each individual
building such as temporary parapet bracing and timing of needed demolition or redevelopment
permit applications.
Progress by Deadline Group
Progress within each group continues to be good, despite the ongoing recession. Some of the
most unexpected projects have been completed, adding to the safety and appeal of the cityscape.
The following describes progress by deadline group.
July 1, 2008 Deadline Group—Finishing Very Soon
Thirteen buildings were originally assigned a completion deadline of July 1, 2008. At this time,
all but one of these buildings have been completely strengthened. The building listed as 1009
Monterey, which includes the Mission Cinemas, restaurants and offices, has been worked on
extensively since before its 2008 deadline. Work is being completed, including sprinkler
installation, with the expectation that it will be finished momentarily. This retrofit has been one
of the most challenging from a structural standpoint.
July 1, 2009 Deadline Group—One Remaining and it is in Progress
Originally encompassing 34 buildings, 19 buildings remained unstrengthened one year ago. On
the basis of Council direction, staff worked with the owners of these buildings and granted
extensions to ten building owners. This left nine building owners in the original group with a
July 1, 2009 deadline. At this time, eight of these owners have completed their retrofits. Those
completed include notable buildings such as,the two Wineman buildings, CVS Drug Store, the
Stream Building, and the remainder of the five seismic retrofits completed by Mr. Rossi. One
building located at 1608 Osos is still progressing diligently toward completion.
July 1, 2010 Extension Group
As expected, work has been slower in the Extension Group. The leader in this group is
Davidson's Furniture. Seismic strengthening has been completed well in advance of the extended
deadline and a facelift and new tenant improvements are continuing at that site. An additional
four buildings expect to be underway upon completion of the permitting process for additional
entitlements to further upgrade these buildings. These include 1130 Garden Street (formerly a
hair salon and Benson Properties); 849 Monterey Street (the Sinsheimer Building); and 1804
Osos Street (Luna Caf6 and Alano Club). The owners of 1127 Broad (George and Kay
Kartsioukas) lead the way with their 2009 request of Council for additional time to complete
their retrofit. During the year, they have addressed a potentially hazardous fire condition at the
site and have also made plans to get their retrofit underway. Now including a fagade
improvement, the work will commence once permitting is complete.

Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 4
The locations formerly housing John's Carpets on Higuera at Pacific are still for sale but a
retrofit start is anticipated to meet the terms of their Extension Agreement. Strengthening at 733
Higuera adjacent to Bubblegum Alley is in final preparation with the tenants (Charmz and
Therapy) having closing sales. Work is anticipated to begin very soon.
In the case of the Granada Hotel, this part of Morro Street has blossomed with several new local
businesses occupying street level retail spaces. The upstairs continues to be used as a rooming
house. The Extension Agreement requires the building be demolished or retrofitted by July 1,
2010. There is uncertainty here due to the effects of the economy.
July 1, 2010 Deadline Group
Buildings assigned to the July 1, 2010 deadline group were limited to buildings with qualifying
active redevelopment applications, buildings with not-for profit owners and buildings qualifying
as "planned retrofits". Originally, there were 19 buildings assigned to this group. As of today,
twelve remain on the list with a lot of diligent efforts on the part of the building owners.
Still awaiting strengthening or incorporation into larger development projects are:
1. Four URM buildings, all part of the Chinatown project. On November 17, 2009, the
Chinatown Project received Council approval. Planning for construction permits is
underway;
2. Five URM building, all part of the Garden Street Terraces project. This project continues to
progress through the environmental and project approval processes; .
3. Two URM buildings, both part of the project proposed by Mr. Naman along Chorro Street
near the intersection of Higuera and Chorro; and
4. The Springfield Baptist Church building, fully entitled and permitted for retrofit and facade
upgrades. Currently listed for sale.
July 1, 2012 Deadline
Eight buildings qualified for this deadline group by completing a Level A retrofit by July 1,
2007. Completion of the full retrofit is required by July 1, 2012. Staff has already been
receiving questions from some of these owners about details that help them get started... well
ahead of the deadline.

Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 5
Overall Progress
At the inception of the seismic retrofit program, City staff identified 126 potentially hazardous
buildings. As of January 2010, 95 buildings have been brought into compliance with 79
buildings strengthened to Level B, eight strengthened to Level A, eight demolished, and another
eight found exempt or reassessed as shown on the URM Hazard Mitigation Summary dated
January 2010 at Attachment 5. This represents a 75 percent compliance level. On the basis of
hazard rating scores, 68 percent of the total hazard score has been abated.
In addition to the deadlines.for strengthening, Council tied installation of fire sprinklers in
buildings within the Commercial Fire Zone to the seismic deadlines. Over the last year or so
greater emphasis on the sprinkler deadlines has resulted in sprinkler installation with most
strengthening projects. The majority of sprinkler installations are slated to be complete by the
2012 deadline.
Looking Forward
On July 1, 2010, the City will have reached the Level B deadline set by the 2004 ordinance.
Significant progress has been made by building owners who have moved forward with
strengthening projects, the majority of which have also included upgraded exteriors and interiors.
The unique combination of low fees, a high degree of outreach by the City to building owners,
streamlined permitting, the support of the Seismic Task Force and an approach that favored
progress over penalties have added up to a substantially safer downtown and a significantly
upgraded building stock. For this the City must thank the diligent work of the owners of
buildings subject to the City's retrofit ordinance.
The approach that favors progress over penalties has allowed building owners to get credit for
making good faith efforts to begin their retrofit, even if they are pushing the deadline. This has
resulted in many projects going forward rather than being mired in penalties that do nothing to
actually enhance public safety. It is important to acknowledge that the Fire Department has also
supported projects that are moving forward and have aligned installation of fire sprinklers with
the seismic strengthening processes.
This approach continues to be supported by the Chamber's Seismic Task Force. For the ten
buildings listed below, the Task Force members recommend that the City stay the course and
continue to require that strengthening work is completed in accordance with established
deadlines and existing extension agreements. With regards to the URM Buildings in the three
big development projects now possessing a July 1, 2010 deadline, the Task Force recommends
the City give credit for work accomplished in the permitting arena and allow sufficient time for
completion of entitlements, building permitting, and construction. The Task Force's
recommended action is supported by staff. This course of action will result in two deadline
groups.
July 1, 2010 Deadline Group
The buildings to continue with the July 1, 2010 deadline include all that were granted an
extension last year plus one building from the original 2010 deadline group. Ten buildings land
in this group and are shown as follows:

The Chief Building Official will continue to work with owners moving toward completion of the
strengthening work for these ten buildings so long as the work is progressing. Of these building
owners, active efforts to abate the hazard have been taken by eight of the ten owners even though
the economy continues to hamper progress. The other two building owners will continue to be
encouraged to start the retrofit process as the deadline approaches. The penalty process will be
used to spur action for those owners failing to take action.
Large Project Deadline Group
Three big projects in the City's processing pipeline on July 1, 2007 were granted the July 1, 2010
deadline because of the time, money, and effort it takes to complete the permitting process. In
2007, these projects were the Chinatown Project, Garden Street Terraces Project, and Naman
project. Both Chinatown and Garden Street Terraces have made great progress in their permitting
and continue to work to get all approvals. The Naman Project originally consisted of five URM
buildings. In 2006, this owner was allowed to post a bond for the seismic retrofit plans then due.
Since then, the owner has completed retrofits on two of the five buildings, having previously
completed a partial retrofit on one other and full retrofit of the Network on Higuera. The
remaining two buildings have been the subject of extensive investigations, primarily structural
and historic.
Due to the importance of these projects to the economic health of the community, the Seismic
Task Force recommends extending the deadlines to continue to assist these projects to come to
fruition as follows:
� 1-�
Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 7
1. The Seismic Task Force endorsed five-year extension agreements to July 1, 2015 for the
three large development projects: Chinatown, Garden Street Terraces and the Naman project.
2. They crafted an additional set of recommendations for the Naman Project (explained below)
due to the current development review status. These were designed to prompt a decision
about development versus retrofit in a timely fashion by the Naman family.
Task Force members articulated the following reasons for differentiating these projects from the
rest:
1. The current economic times are as significant as the issues that pushed the deadlines forward.
2. Owners of Garden Street Terraces and Chinatown have been actively working with the City
to gain approvals for the projects and this progress should be honored.
3. The owner of the Naman Project has been working diligently, outside of City processes, to
determine what is possible for the buildings at 1029 and 1035 Chorro via historic and
structural analysis of the URM buildings. This work has been time intensive due to some
unique attributes, one hangs over the creek, and the evaluation of a public paseo from Chorro
Street along the creek bank.
Elements of Customized Agreements
Based on the recommendations of the Task Force and in conjunction with existing City practice
that honors progress on projects, staff recommends entering into customized extension
agreements with building owners that are part of the three identified large development projects.
Administered through the Chief Building Official, staff recommends additional time for these
projects with benchmarks to make more certain abatement of the hazard.
1. Project Plan. For all three projects, a written project plan with benchmark deadlines must be
submitted to the Chief Building Official for review no later than April 1, 2010. This plan
must include an education plan that will inform the public and occupants of the building
about actions to take in the event of an earthquake. It must also include indemnification of
the City as required in the existing Extension Agreements.
2. Timeline for Abatement. The project plan must also include a timeline showing how the
entire seismic hazard will be abated no later than July 1, 2015 with alternatives that map
out what actions will be taken in the event the project stops making progress through the
entitlement or building permit process. The Community Development Director will have the
authority to determine if progress has stalled.
3. Complete Project Application. For the Naman Project, a development project application
must be deemed "Complete" for processing no later than July 1, 2010 to allow this project to
continue to be considered "in the pipeline". (Staff provides a letter confirming
"completeness".) A development application must be submitted to the City no later than
April 1, 2010 to permit timely staff review. If these deadlines are missed, retrofit-only plans
must be completed by December 31, 2010 and the retrofit must begin upon issuance of the
permits.
Status Report: URM Hazard.Mitigation Program Page 8
In the event that the Naman Family proceeds with a timely application for development, it
must be recognized that additional information could cause the Naman Family to choose to
abandon the development project in favor of retrofit. This decision must be communicated.to
the City no later than July 1, 2011. If a decision to retrofit is made at this time, the plans for
retrofit must be filed with the City by January 1, 2012 and the retrofit project must be
completed by December 31, 2013.
The City will continue to allow the seismic retrofit building permits for buildings in these three
development projects to stay open until the work is completed or the project stalls. In return for
this benefit, the applicants for this extension will provide timely submittals that meet the City's
requests for information that further the process of review of applications for entitlements or
building permits..
Failure to Comply-Penalties
As with all imposed deadlines, penalties may be necessary to motivate action. Due to the
strategic application of leniency and the willingness of owners to comply, the City has not had to
employ measures beyond an initial notice of violation which was used with some of the owners
in the 2009 deadline group. In the event that building owners in the July 1, 2010 deadline group
do not take action prior to the deadline, staff will take steps to assure compliance consistent with
past practices.
Pursuant to the Municipal Code, there are several enforcement mechanisms available. Decisions
regarding which to use are made by the Chief Building Official, following consultation with the
City Attorney's Office.
1. Fines
Violations may be treated as infractions, which are similar to traffic tickets, with a first time fine
of up to $100, a second violation in one year of up to $200, and a third violation in one year up to
$500. Each separate day a violation exists may be charged as an additional violation, thus a third
violation in one year can come about quickly. Infractions are administered through the courts,
and the courts impose additional fees upon violators of approximately $200 on top of the
infraction fine amounts.
2.Administrative Citations
The City also has an administrative code enforcement process. Administrative Citations involve
the levying of administrative fines of $100 to $500 per day for each day of violation. The
collection of administrative fines owed by violators is processed via the City's standard
collection practice. If City staff efforts to collect are unsuccessful, accounts are turned over to an
outside collection agency, which will adversely affect a recalcitrant violator's credit rating.
Violations may also be treated as misdemeanors, punishable by a fine of not more than one
thousand dollars (plus court imposed fees of several hundred dollars) or by imprisonment in the
county jail for a period not exceeding one year, or both. Violations may also be addressed
through civil penalties of up to $250 per day with each day a violation continues treated as a
separate violation. Collection of civil penalties entails the filing of a lawsuit in Superior Court.
� I -
Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 9
3. Injunctive Relief
In the rare instance that the aforementioned penalties fail to motivate action, violations may
necessitate seeking injunctive relief, such as ordering a building vacated, posted for non-entry,
fenced, secured and otherwise protected at the property owner's expense. Requests for
injunctions are filed with the Superior Court. In some (rare) circumstances, a court could order
demolition of a structure.
Each of the above approaches has its pros and cons. All involve utilization of considerable staff
resources.
Favorable Fees
A valuable tool for encouraging timely retrofits are the favorable fees for building and planning
permits that were adopted by Council with the changed deadlines in 2004. The fees, adopted by
resolution, are shown at Attachment 6, Resolution 9600 (2004). These favorable fees currently
apply to all improvements done in conjunction with the retrofit work including tenant
improvements, disabled access upgrades, fagade changes and electrical or plumbing system
upgrades. To date, these fees have not been altered.
Over time, the favorable fees have been an effective tool used by the City to encourage progress
on retrofits and the attendant upgrades that have made such a remarkable difference in the safety,
appearance, and accessibility of buildings in the City. Due to the success of the program, the
City's participation in the retrofit projects has amounted to an estimated one million dollars in
waived revenues over the past four years.
It should be noted that the favorable fees have never applied to projects involving demolition and
redevelopment of buildings on the inventory. The 2004 Ordinance limited application of
favorable fees to buildings being seismically strengthened. Upon expiration of any seismic
retrofit building permit, a new permit will be required— still at the low fee unless Council directs
staff to return with an adjustment to the fee schedule.
Staff recommends discontinuing this program for those owners who fail to comply with the
deadlines. At this point in the program only a few retrofit projects remain. Staff will continue to
work as closely as possible with individual building owners to encourage the strengthening work
begin in a timely fashion. However, should a retrofit permit be allowed to expire, concurrent
loss of the favorable fees can be a powerful motivator for the few owners who fail to take action.
In summary, while there have been waived revenues, the favorable fees established with the
2004 Ordinance have been instrumental in encouraging owners to abate the hazard presented by
their unreinforced masonry buildings and should continue to be used to encourage those who
play by the rules..
Next Steps
As a follow-up to this meeting, in keeping with practices of past years, staff will send formal
notices to all ten building owners shown on the above table. In addition, the City Attorney will
issue a letter advising all owners of the potential fines and penalties for failure to either complete
strengthening by the deadline, to show progress via active construction, or show progress via
B �-9
Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 10
demonstration of other good faith progress as described above, deemed acceptable by the Chief
Building Official, on a case by case basis.
Staff will also return to Council with the Extension Agreements for the three identified
development projects following the April 1, 2010 Extension Application deadline. At that time,
necessary changes to the Ordinance and/or Resolutions that effect the resulting change in
deadlines and/or fees will also be brought to Council.
Most importantly, staff will continue to provide a high level of outreach to building owners to
encourage timely completion of all retrofit projects.
CONCURRENCES
The Community Development Department and Fire Department endorse flexibility in the
deadline for those owners making progress toward completion of their strengthening projects.
The Chamber of Commerce Seismic Task Force concurs with the recommendation also. The
Task Force met several times in the last year to discuss progress in the Seismic Program and to
make recommendations for balancing encouragement and penalties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff projects minimal fiscal impacts to the City budget resulting from remaining fee waivers
discussed above. These impacts will result from upgrades in conjunction with seismic
strengthening to the small number of URM projects that still have the opportunity to take
advantage of the favorable fees. Although there may be some revenue impact to the City caused
by higher levels of construction in the Downtown, this is also not quantifiable.
Continued fiscal impacts to the building owners and economic benefits derived from their
investments are also not quantifiable within the scope of this report. What is certain, however,
is that this impact will be far less than the impact the City will experience if a severe earthquake
strikes and our buildings are not sufficiently strengthened. This issue is ultimately about life
safety and protecting the citizens of the community.
CONCLUSION
The shorter deadlines adopted by Council in 2007 served to renew public interest and private
action in the URM Program. With the work now limited to 10 projects this year, 8 projects due
in 2012, and the three large development projects, the City can take this more individualized
approach to securing compliance. The goal, therefore, is to continue to take actions that have
reaped success in the past while taking into account the realities facing the City's important
development partners.
The economic realities of today will continue to challenge this goal and the community's
resolve. To accomplish the goal within the foreseeable future, difficult decisions will continue to
/,/d

Status Report: URM Hazard Mitigation Program Page 11
be needed along with flexibility and the ability to work with the City's "community partners" to
achieve success for everyone.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Require compliance with existing deadlines without exception. As noted, there has been
a high degree of compliance by building owners with the deadlines for seismic strengthening.
This progress has resulted from the working relationship crafted between City staff and the
real world circumstances surrounding each retrofit project. To eliminate this flexibility
would seriously affect the City's success rate in obtaining compliance and, thereby, greater
public safety.
2. Direct staff to retain the existing fee schedule through the end of the program. The
favorable fees established with the 2004 Ordinance have been instrumental in encouraging
owners to abate the hazard presented by their unreinforced masonry buildings. However, at
this point in the program Council needs to weigh the use of fees for encouragement against
the use of fees for deterrence. Given the high level of compliance to date, it is preferable to
use the fees for deterrence rather than continuing low fees in cases of non-compliance.
