2011/07/26 City Council Resolution 2011-70RESOLUTION NO. 2011-70
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
ESTABLISHING WILFRED/DOWDELL SPECIFIC PLAN REIMBURSEMENT FEE
AND SUPERSEDING SPECIFIC PLAN FEE ESTABLISHED BY
RESOLUTION NO. 98-45
WHEREAS, on February 24, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution-No. 98 -45,
directing the preparation of the Wilfred/Dowdell Specific Plan and establishing a specific plan
fee schedule to collect $63,581 from property owners and /or developers in the Wilfred /Dowdell
Specific Plan Area ( "Specific Plan Area ") for the estimated cost of preparation, approval and
administration of the Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan ( "Specific Plan ");
WHEREAS, the City incurred costs to prepare the Specific Plan, Environmental Impact
Report ( "EIR "), and Supplemental EIR for the Specific Plan;
WHEREAS, the City Council certified the EIR for the project and adopted the
Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan on September 23, 2008;
. WHEREAS, the Specific Plan Area was approved for annexation by the Local Agency
Formation Commission on August 5, 2009 and the boundary maps were recorded by the County
of Sonoma on December 10, 2009;
WHEREAS, the total costs incurred by the City in preparing the Wilfred /Dowdell
Specific Plan and its supporting documents totaled $345,652.69 as of April 30, 2011;
WHEREAS, Baney Corporation dba Oxford Inns and Suites ( "Initial Developer "), is
currently processing development permits for the Oxford Suites Hotel project in the North
Village portion of the Specific Plan Area and, in compliance with the terms of an existing
Reimbursement Agreement dated January 14, 2011, and reasonably expects to incur at least
$64,025.00 in additional costs for environmental review required pursuant to CEQA;
WHEREAS, the City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. The Specific Plan was prepared and adopted by the City to facilitate the orderly and
systematic development of the Specific Plan Area through the establishment of a
comprehensive planning program consistent with the Rohnert Park General Plan.
B. Persons or entities seeking to develop projects in the Specific Plan Area derive
substantial benefits from the preparation and adoption of the Wilfred /Dowdell
Specific Plan in that:
1. Environmental documents prepared in connection with the Wilfred /Dowdell
Specific Plan, including the EIR and Supplemental EIR and-additional
environmental review documents to be prepared in connection with Initial
Developer's application, reduce the scope and cost of subsequent
environmental review that otherwise would be required in connection with
Specific Plan Area development projects;
2. Preparation of the Specific Plan substantially reduces the scope and cost of
planning review otherwise required in connection with Specific Plan Area
developments projects;
C. California Government Code Section 65456 allows that the City Council "after
adopting a specific plan, may impose a specific plan fee upon persons seeking
governmental approvals which are required to be consistent with the specific plan.
The fees shall be established so that, in the aggregate, they defray but as estimated do
not exceed, the cost of preparation, adoption, and administration of the specific plan,
including costs incurred pursuant to Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of
the Public Resources Code."
D. Rohnert Park Municipal Code 17.06.450 allows the City Council to adopt by
resolution, a fee schedule for "costs incurred in the preparation, adoption, and
implementation of a specific plan including the preliminary application and costs
incurred pursuant to CEQA."
E. A specific plan reimbursement fee as contemplated by California Government Code
Section 65456 and Rohnert Park Municipal Code 17.06.450 is not a tax subject to the
supermajority voting provisions of Article XIII of the California Constitution as
amended by Proposition 26, but is an exception under Section 1(e)(1) and (6) of
Article XIII C of the California Constitution as amended by Proposition 26, to wit:
(e) As used in this article, "tax" means any levy, charge, or exaction of any
kind imposed by a local government except the following.
(1) A charge imposed for a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted
directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which
does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring
the benefit or granting the privilege....
(6) A charge imposed as a condition ofproperty development.
F. Through April 30, 2011, the City has incurred $345,652.69 in costs documented in
Exhibit A: Wilfre&Dowdell Specific Plan Processing Costs as of April 30, 2011.
G. The Initial Developer of the "North Village" portion of the Specific Plan Area
expects that in order to bring their proposed project to completion, additional costs
must be incurred pursuant to CEQA for development within the Specific Plan Area,
including, but not limited to, the anticipated costs of $64,025.00 shown in Exhibit B:
Fifth Amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with MACTEC Inc. for
Biological- Environmental Services for the Wilfred Dowdell Specific Plan Project.
H. The costs shown in Exhibit and Exhibit B total $409,677.69 and are reimbursable
costs pursuant to California Government Code Section 65456 and Rohnert Park
Municipal Code 17.06.450. These costs exceed that of the original fee of $63,581
established by Rohnert Park City Council and shown in Exhibit C. Rohnert Park
City Council Resolution No. 98 -45.
City staff anticipates that additional costs for the administration of the
Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan may be incurred. Pursuant to Rohnert Park Municipal
Code 17.06.450F, City staff will report to the City Council least once every year or
more frequently as needed, the updated costs of the preparation, adoption and
administration of the Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan, and may request that the City
Council consider amending the Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan Reimbursement Fee as
established by this Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the above recitations are true and correct.
Section 2. Environmental Clearance. The adoption of this Resolution is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act as this action is not considered a
"project" as defined in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Article
20, Section 153.78(a):
(a) "Project" means the whole of an action, which has a potential for
resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a
reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,...
Section 3. Fee Established. The Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan Reimbursement
Fee ( "Wilfred /Dowdell Reimbursement Fee ") is established to reimburse the City and
Initial Developer for expenses associated with preparing and adopting the
Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan, including costs incurred pursuant to CEQA for the
Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan.
The Wilfred /Dowdell Reimbursement Fee is a permit processing fee to reimburse the
City for costs incurred in the adoption of the Wilfred /Dowdell Specific Plan. It is not
a monetary exaction for the purposes of defraying the costs of public facilities.
Payment of the Wilfred /Dowdell Reimbursement Fee is in addition to any applicable
fee(s) which may be imposed to offset impacts to public facilities.
Section 4. Amount of Fee. The Wilfred/Dowdell Reimbursement Fee charged for
each parcel is a prorated amount in accordance with the applicant's relative benefit
derived from the specific plan, as nearly as can be estimated. For the purposes of
estimating relative benefit, the amount of the Wilfred /Dowdell Reimbursement Fee is
based on a prorated share of developable acreage within the Wilfred Dowdell Specific
Plan acreage. The amount of the Wilfred /Dowdell Reimbursement Fee allocated to
each parcel is calculated below:
Allocation of Wilfred Dowdell Snecif►c Plan Reimbursement Fee
The following formula shall be used to allocate the Reimbursable Costs over all Developable Acreage
anticipated to be developed within the Specific Plan:
(Parcel Acreage - Total Developable Acreage) = Percentage Share of Reimbursable Costs
Total developable acreage
Total Specific Plan Acreage public right -of -way *:
Less Public Right -of -Way
Total developable acreage
25.40 acres
- 0.30 acres
" Public right -of -way derives no increased benefit from specific plan and therefore is not subject to
payment of the Wilfred Dowdell Reimbursement Fee
Reimbursable costs
Specific Plan Costs incurred by City as of April 30, 2011:. $345,652.69
Plus anticipated costs pursuant to CEQA approved by City + $64,025.00

Proposal and Fee Estimate, City ofRohnert Park February 1, 2011
AMC=Proposal No. PROPIOBAYA 103 Proposal
SCOPE OF WORK
On the basis of the City's request and the requirements of the EIR documents and existing regulatory
commitments, the following scope of work is proposed.
Task 1— Background Research
AECOM will review available environmental documentation, recent and historic aerial photographs, and
other relevant background information provided by MACTEC and the City. This review will include
conducting a review of the California Natural Diversity Database and the California Native Plant
Society's inventory of rare and endangered vascular plants of California to verify the continued
applicability of the list of potentially occurring special - status plant and animal species included in the
existing EIR. AECOM will also review their internal files for information generated regarding biological
resources on other project sites in the vicinity of the Wilfred Dowdell Specific Plan Area.
Task 2 — Update of 2005 Biological Assessment and Wetlands Delineation
MACTEC prepared a biological assessment and preliminary delineation of waters and wetlands at the Site
in January 2005; however, it appears that these documents were not submitted to the USACE for
verification due to the delay in the project. A verified delineation is typically considered valid for three
years and therefore additional assessment of wetlands is necessary. An update of the biological
assessment is also necessary in determining the quality of habitat available for special status species
known to inhabit the area in the immediate vicinity of the project area, including California Tiger
Salamander (CTS).
Biologists with suitable expertise will conduct a formal delineation in order to determine the location and
extent of waters and wetlands potentially considered to be jurisdictional by the USACE, State Water
Resources Control Board (State Water Board), and/or California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG).
Determination of the boundaries of potential jurisdictional areas will follow standard methodologies as
described in the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Arid West Region, Version 2.0. Features that meet the
USACE's, State Water Board's, and/or CDFG's definition of potentially jurisdictional waters or wetlands
will be photographed and mapped by a hand -held global positioning system (GPS) unit and/or by hand on
available aerial imagery, topographic maps, or project maps and then downloaded/digitized onto the
appropriate base map in ArcGIS or similar electronic format. Information will also be recorded in order
to complete the Approved Jurisdictional Delineation Form. It is also assumed that an early spring visit
will be sufficient to complete this task. If the USACE requires additional data, an expanded scope of
work and cost estimate will be submitted to the City. It is assumed that no more than one Site visit will
be necessary to delineate the location and extent of potentially jurisdictional waters and wetlands,
including collecting the necessary data for the Approved Jurisdictional Delineation Form.
Concurrent with the wetlands delineation, a qualified botanist and wildlife biologist familiar with the
target special - status species within the region will conduct a reconnaissance -level site visit to assess the
sensitivity of on -site habitats, make a preliminary assessment of the potential for occurrence of the target
special- status plant and animal species based on existing habitat availability, and identify the need for
focused surveys. This assessment will include surveying the Site to determine if the Site could be used by
the California Tiger Salamander (CTS) as'breeding and/or upland habitat. Areas of potential habitat for
special- status species, vegetation communities present, plant and wildlife and species observed, and
identified sensitive natural communities will be recorded and mapped during the site visit.

MACTECProposaI No. PROPIOB,1Y,1 103 Proposal
Upon completion of field activities, the biologist will synthesize the data and field maps and prepare a
combined delineation report and biological assessment, including a map of potential jurisdictional waters
and wetlands identified within the proposed project area (the Site). The report will be prepared in
accordance with USACE San Francisco District 2007 guidance to consultants for submitting delineation
reports and will be prepared to meet the requirements of the Interim Guidance on Site Assessment and
Field Surveys for Determining Presence or a Negative Finding of the California Tiger Salamander
( USFWS, 2003) and will include a detailed analysis of wetlands on the Site that may provide potential
CTS breeding habitat. This analysis will be based on proximity to documented occurrences of the species
as well as onsite conditions such as dominant plant. communities, the presence of burrows or other
aestivation habitat, and potential migration barriers. The report will include.a regional vicinity map of
documented occurrences of CTS in the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and other
available documented occurrences that are known for the area. Two versions of this report will be
prepared, a draft report and a final report. The final report will incorporate comments from the City on
the draft report.
Task 3 — Consultation with CDFG, USACE, and USFWS
This task includes services associated with requesting verification of the jurisdictional delineation report
from the regulatory and resource agencies (including but not limited to, report submittal verification and
field meetings with agency representatives). This task also assumes that the City will 'move forward with
permitting the entire project (Village North and South Parcels) area and that permits would be prepared in
conjunction will Section 7 Consultation (Option B of the AECOM.Proposal) with the USFWS as well as
Sections 401 and 404 of.the Clean Water Act Clean Water Act, and Section 1602, California Fish and
Game Code. This task includes costs associated with obtaining the necessary permits, agreements, and
certifications, preparation of the project descriptions for the permits, and management of the pennitting
process. A detailed description of this task is included in the attached A.ECOM proposal.
Task 4 — Site Assessment /Field Surveys for Rare Plants
Results of the January 2005 biological assessment for the Site indicated no federally - Threatened or
Endangered plant species were detected during the survey and only marginally suitable habitat was
observed at the Site for five special- status plants. A site assessment is the first step in determining if a
protocol -level survey for listed plants is appropriate. The purpose of a site assessment_ is to evaluate the
potential for vegetation communities present on a proposed project site to support listed species known to
or with the potential to occur in the project site vicinity. If vegetation communities present have the
potential to support listed plants, a protocol -level survey is required before a negative finding can be
supported.
For proposed project sites located in the Santa Rosa Plain, a protocol -level survey requires a minimum of
two years of surveys with at least three field visits per year and surveys no older than three years from the
current date of the project proposal. Based on MACTEC's January 2005 biological assessment, it does
not appear that habitat for listed plants is present on the proposed project site. Therefore, MACTEC does
not anticipate that a protocol level plant survey will be required. However, due to the project delay (over
five years) since the previous field survey was conducted for the EIR, completion of a site assessment will
need to be conducted to verify that the proposed project site conditions have not substantially changed
since the previous field survey was conducted and.to document the survey for future permitting actions.
The site assessment will be completed concurrently with the field survey for the jurisdiction wetland
delineation described above.
After completion of the site assessment, a technical report will be prepared that provides a description of
plant communities on the project site, as well as other environmental conditions. The report will include

a geographic information system (GIS)- based. map to document habitat conditions and significant
findings on the site. In the event that the site is sufficiently disturbed that no habitat with potential to
support special- status plants occurs on the project site, a less detailed memorandum will present the case
that no special - status plants are expected to occur on the project site. Two versions of this report will be
included, a draft report and a final report. The final report will incorporate comments from the City on
the draft report.
Task 5— Nesting Birds Preconstruction Surveys
As detailed in Mitigation Measure 3.4 -6a of the January and August 2008 Final EIR documents,
completion of a preconstruction nesting bird survey would be required prior to the implementation of
construction activities during the bird nesting season (typically February through August). A wildlife
biologist will conduct the surveys within 30 days of construction activities. Habitats potentially used for
nesting on the Site and located within 200 to 500 feet of the Site will be searched for active bird nests.
This task assumes that one survey would be conducted and that bird species that are observed will be
identified and the locations of active nests will be mapped with a professional GPS unit.
Upon completion of the survey, a technical report will be prepared summarizing the methods and results
of the bird surveys. The report will include recommendations for required buffers around active nests, if
present. The buffer size will be determined based on the sensitivity to disturbance of the bird species
present and discussions with the CDFG.
Task .6 — Meetings and Project Management
This task is for AECOM to provide City and agency coordination and project management and includes
time for meetings between AECOM, MACTEC, and the City. MACTEC's labor for project management
and coordination with the subcontractor is included in each task discussed above.
ESTIMATED BUDGET
Based on the January 27 meeting between yourself and MACTEC we have costed this proposal using
costs provided by AECOM. The total estimated budget for this scope of work includes MACTEC labor
for project management and coordination with the subcontractor and is summarized below:
Task 1 Background Research $925
Task 2 — Update of 2005 Biological Assessment and Wetlands Delineation $11,800
Task 3 — Consultation with.CDFG, USACE, and USFWS $29,000
Task 4 — Site Assessment/Field Surveys for Rare PIants $10,350
Task 5 — Nesting Birds Preconstruction Surveys $5,400
Task 6 — Meetings and Project Management $6,550
Total Estimated Budget $64,025
MACTEC will perform the work described in this proposal on a time and materials basis in accordance
with the attached schedule of charges and MACTEC's existing Master Services Agreement with the City,
dated February 19, 2004 and, once executed, the work will be Amendment 4 to the Master Services
Agreement. Actual invoice amounts will be based on actual labor hours and expenses associated with this
