HomeMy WebLinkAboutCC/Commission Joint Workshop City Manager's Office MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: February 4, 2006 City Council Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission Parks & Community Services Commission Planning Commission City Manager COUNCIL/COMMISSION WORKSHOP The City Council annually undertakes a goals setting process for all Departments of the City. This year, the City Council has scheduled a one-half day workshop with the City's Planning, Parks & Community Services and Heritage & Cultural Arts Commissions on Saturday, February 4, 2006. from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Civic Center Regional Meeting Room. The purpose of this workshop is to provide Commission Members with an opportunity to have a dialogue with the City Council regarding those goals and objectives within their respective areas of purview. Although the Council is interested in having a dialogue with the Commissions regarding goals and objectives, the City Council will not be collectively prioritizing or taking a position on the various objectives which will be discussed. The City Council will take formal action on the Goals & Objectives at its special meeting of March 22, 2006. The Mayor will be conducting the meeting with assistance from the City Manager's Office. The Mayor and Council will review the purpose of the City's Strategic Plan at 9:00 a.m. This will be followed by a meeting with each Commission. Commission Members are assigned the following times to discuss their respective goals and objectives: 9:15 am. Planning Commission 10: lOam. Parks & Community Services Commission 11 :05 a.m. Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission Page 1 00 Each Commission will have approximately 45 minutes to discuss those objectives under their purview. There will be a 10-minute period at the end of each discussion for members of other Commissions or Committees and members of the public to make comments or ask questions related to those objectives discussed by each Commission. Members of all the City's Commissions are invited to attend the entire workshop, including the continental breakfast and lunch. This year, a binder for each Commission discussion has been prepared, which includes the following documents: 1. Ten Year Strategic Plan - Preliminary 2006-2007 Update This document includes the City Council's Mission, Vision and Values. It also includes six (6) Strategies that are supported by Strategic Goals & Objectives to accomplish those strategies. Those objectives that fall under the purview of each Commission are color coded for each Commission discussion. For example, Strategic Objective IILB-14, "Determine the future location and use of the Antone School (Wallis property)" is shaded yellow to denote an objective under the purview of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission. 2. Preliminary 2006-2007 Goals & Objectives Reviewed by Each Cominission Each Commission reviewed, prioritized and, in some cases, modified objectives under their purview. The objectives will ultimately be discussed by the City Council at the City Council Meeting of March 22, 2006 as part of the City-wide Goals & Objectives Plan. This document is unique to each Commission. It is important to note that some of the objectives are strategic and also appear on the Strategic Plan; whereas, other objectives are mission-driven and accomplish Departmental Goals. 3. Adopted 20052006 Goals & Objectives Bi-Monthly Report as of 12/31/05 for Each Commission This document is a progress report on those 2005-2006 objectives under the purview of each Commission. 4. City Council Agenda Statement dated January 17. 2006. "Establishment of Housing Commission/ Committee" 5. Excerpt City Council Minutes (Draft of) January 17.2006 6. Issue No.1 of the City of Dublin Housing Newsletter Page 2 00 Participants are encouraged to review the attached material, especially the goals and objectives related to their Commission's responsibilities. Each Commission discussion should initially focus on those objectives where the Commission priority differs from City Staff and on any new objectives proposed by a Commission. At the conclusion of the discussion with each Commission, Mayor Lockhart will solicit input from each Commission regarding whether the City Council should establish a Housing Commission/ Committee, and if so, what its responsibilities should be. A copy of the City Council Agenda Statement and an excerpt of the Minutes of the January 17, 2005 City Council meeting are included in this binder. Also included is a copy of the City's bi-monthly Housing Newsletter produced by the City's Community Development Department. This newsletter will provide you with some information regarding what the City is doing in the area of housing. Once again, all Commissioners are invited to begin the workshop with a continental breakfast and stay for the entire workshop, including lunch, if their schedules permit. The workshop should provide not only a great opportunity to discuss your issues with the City Council, but to also learn more about our great community. See you on Saturday.

Option 1; b. Option 2; c. Option 3; d. Option 4; or e. Provide additional direction. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Sufficient funds have been included in the Fiscal Year 2005 - 2006 budget to fund any of the above options. DESCRIPTION: At the Joint Commission/ City Council Goals and Objectives Workshop in February 2005, the Planning Commission indicated concerns that no commission or committee was working on housing issues for the City. Following that meeting, at the City Council's Goals and Objectives meeting in April 2005, the City Council added a new High Priority to their 2005 Goals and Objectives as follows: "Establish a Housing Commission/Committee" . At the current time, the City of Dublin has in place a Planning Commission, which is the land use body designated under State Law and the City of Dublin Municipal Code to make recommendations on land use decisions to the City Council. The City Council makes the final decision on General Plan Amendments (including amendments to the Housing Element of the General Plan), rezonings and other major land use actions. COPIES TO: In-House Distribution Page 1 of 7 K:\HOUSING\Housing Commission\CCSRCommissionscopingl-17 -06.doc In the past, the City Council has appointed various task forces or committees to address certain issues that. are pending before the City Council. For example, task forces were appointed to address the Downtown, Open Space, Community Facilities and Affordable Housing. During the preparation of the Housing Element that was adopted in June 2003, the City Council appointed a Affordable Housing Task Force for a 1 year period that included members of the City Council, Planning Commission and interested members of the community. That Housing Task Force also made recommendations on the establishment of priorities for the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. After the conclusion of these two items, the Affordable Housing Task Force's duties were completed and the City Council ended and formally recognized the Task Force's contributions. Decision Making: Housing issues that are primarily before the City relate to updating the Housing Element of the General Plan every five years; implementing the Inclusionary Ordinance by working with developers; partnering with non-profits (such as Eden) to participate in building affordable housing; and developing programs, such as the First Time Homebuyer Program. There are several different types of decision making relating to housing issues. . Policy decisions relating to housing issues are made by the City Council; . Amendments to various planning documents relating to housing are approved by the City Council upon recommendation by the Planning Commission; . A Task Force has also been used on specific issues to provide advice to the City Council; and . Staff routinely makes decisions relating to the implementation of programs that have been approved by the City Council. Table One, below, illustrates the types of decisions that are made relating to housing in the City of Dublin: :fypeof ;:Decision General Plan Amendments to Housing Element Table One Decision Maker on Housing Issues Reports prepared to Planning Commission and City Council Recommend to Approval Body City Council A Taskforce. was used in the Housing Element Update Distribution and make up of units in subdivisions Variations from Inclusionary Ordinance Set forth in lnclusionary Ordinance.

Page 3 of7 Concord None Newark None Five of the cities surveyed had Housing Commissions or Housing and Human Services Commissions. There does not appear to be a difference in the scope of the responsibility of the commissions. The five commissions review housing issues and CDBG applications. Some of the cities surveyed, such as Danville, Walnut Creek, Concord, Piedmont, Newark and Albany do not have a Housing Commission or Committee. These cities stated that in-house Staff (Housing Staff or Planning Department Staff) reviews housing issues that arise. Issues that are not resolved by Staff or are policy issues are either reviewed by the Planning Commission or forwarded directly to the City Council. Four of the cities had housing committees. Some of the cities that had committees established committees or task forces for specific purposes. Others used the committee structure and the responsibilities of the committees were similar to those in other cities that had Housing Commissions. A focused committee, as shown in some of the examples in Table Two above, has the benefit of allowing the city to select individuals to serve on the committees with specific knowledge about the topic being studied. In addition, if a committee is formed for a particular issue or focus with a limited time period; then once the issue is completed, the committee work can end. When another issue comes up, a new committee can be formed. This type of committee structure is what the City of Dublin has been utilizing for many years. Example include the Commercial Nexus Task Force; Open Space Task Force; Downtown Task Force; Village Parkway Task Force; Affordable Housing Task Force; and Community Facilities Task Force. Many of the cities surveyed noted that the commission or committee reviewed affordable housing agreements. The City of Dublin has developed a boilerplate agreement that was approved by the City Council to be signed by Staff. The intent of the City Council was that the development process should not be slowed down by items that could be handled at an administrative level. It is important for the City Council to decide what types of actions or tasks the new Commission or Committee will have and then determine the type of body that would best meet the Council's goal. The following list includes possible responsibilities for a Commission or Committee: Purpose of Commission/Committee 1. Provide recommendations to the City Council for new policies and programs relating to housing; 2. Provide recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on updates to the Housing Element of the General Plan (next update due in 2009); 3. Provide recommendations on amendments to the IncIusionary Ordinance; 4. Provide recommendations for projects that request variances from the Inclusionary Ordinance; 5. Provide recommendations to the Planning Commission on the distribution of affordable housing in new developments; and/or 6. Review and recommend to the City Council funding requests for CDBG. The decision on the role of the Housing Committee/Commission could have impacts on the speed in which development projects are processed in the City. Currently, all projects are heard by either the Planning Commission, or the Planning Commission and City Council. If the City Council were to Page 4 of7 establish a new body that was charged with either number 4 or 5, it would add another step (and therefore approximately one month) to the development process. Based on the City Council's decision on what the purpose and role of the new Commission/Committee would be, there are several directions that the City Council could take to achieve the goal of creating a Housing Commission/Committee. Each 'of these options has different factors to consider in terms of benefits and other considerations as follows: Option 1. Establish a Housing Commission. The City Council could detennine to set up a new Commission that focused on housing issues. A sub- option to this approach is to set up a new Commission that would focus on housing and other issues to be identified by the City Council. The primary benefits of this approach include: . A message would be sent to the community that the City places a high priority on housing issues; . The City Council could appoint people with special expertise in the housing area (those same people could also be appointed to the Planning and Housing Commission under Option 2); and . A Commission could be established that included Housing as well as other interest areas the City Council may want to include. Other possible effects of this approach include: . Another Commission would require an ongoing fiscal commitment from the City: o Training of Commission (including conferences); o City Attorney participation; o Overtime for staff and additional evening meetings for Staff; and · A decision to establish a Commission is final and not flexible. Commissions are established by Ordinance and have a defined set of duties and responsibilities; · Memberships on Commissions are not as flexible as memberships of task forces or committees. Generally, Commissioners are appointed for terms by the Mayor. For example, Planning Commissioners are appointed for 4 year terms. Members on CommitteeslTask Forces are also appointments, but since task forces and committees are generally for specific issues and time periods, the terms are shorter (generally membership runs until the reason for the task force or committee is completed); and · Should the City Council desire to include another committee or commission in the development process (such as reviewing the distribution of units within a subdivision), it would delay approval and building of development proposals by adding another step and additional time in the process. Option 2. Change the name and focus of the "Planning Commission" to "Planning and Housing Commission" . The Planning Commission is the State mandated planning body for the City. As such, the majority of land use decisions are required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to going to the City Council. If the City Council wanted to change the emphasis of the Commission to address more housing issues, those issues could be brought before the Planning and Housing Commission rather than convene a special task force or committee. The primary benefits of this approach include: Page 5 of 7 · A message would be sent to the community that the City places a high priority on housing issues and that housing issues should be fully integrated into the land use planning and development process; . The Planning Commission is familiar with land use and housing policies, the development process of the City and how new issues would fit into the overall land use environment of the City; . The development process (and development of new affordable housing) would not be slowed down by adding another review commission in the City approval process; and . Additional staffing would not be required for facilitating another commission, committee or task force. Other possible effects of this approach include: . If there are special issues that need to be addressed, such as the development of a new program, the Commission may need to meet more frequently or have longer meetings to keep up with other development applications; . More meetings would require more staff time (however, no more than the other options listed below); and . Having one Commission would not increase the number of people working on affordable housing issues in the community. Option 3. Establish a Housing Committee or Task Force. The City Council could determine that a Housing Committee or Task Force be formed to address specific housing issues that the City Council could identify at this meeting. The primary benefits of this approach include: . The goal of the committee/task force could be a focused issue or issues and task force participants could be sought with specific expertise in the topic (for example, there were different types of participants on the Commercial Nexus Task Force and the Affordable Housing Task Force); . Setting up the scope of the committee or task force is flexible. The Council could determine that the task force or committee could be for a limited time period (such as the previous Housing Task Force that was for a 1 year period). The CommitteelTask Force could be disbanded when not needed; . There is no ordinance requirement to set up a task force or committee (no development of charter or rules of operation); . While there are staff time commitments with this option (preparing for the meeting, facilitating the meeting and preparing minutes); the commitment is not as intense as with a Commii'ision that has regular required meetings; and . There are no ongoing fiscal commitments of the City as the CommitteelTask Force can be paused or disbanded at the City Council's pleasure. Other possible effects of this approach include: . A committee or task force does have impacts on staffing as meetings must be noticed, organized, reports prepared, meetings facilitated and minutes prepared; and . Should the City Council desire to include another committee or commission in the development process (such as reviewing the distribution of units within a subdivision), it would delay approval and building of development proposals by adding another step in the process. Page 6 of7 Option 4. Establish a Housing Committee as a One- Year Pilot Program. This Option is the same as Option 3, above; however, in this Option, Staff would bring back a report in one year to the City Council on the Housing Committee. At that time the City Council could determine if the Committee should continue, be modified or developed into a Housing Commission. CONCLUSION: The Staff Report includes several options for the implementation of the City Council's goal of establishing a Housing Commission or Committee. Following the City Council's discussion and direction, Staff will return to the City Council with the necessary documents to implement either Option 1, 2,30r4. RECOMMENDA TION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1) receive Staff presentation; 2) deliberate; 3) provide Staff with direction on whether the City Council would like Staff to proceed with the implementation of the establishment of a Housing Commission/Committee by indicating a preference for a) Option 1; b) Option 2; c) Option 3; d) Option 4; or e) Provide additional direction. Page 7 of 7 Establishment of Housing Commission/Committee 9:30 p.m. 8.2 (110-10) Community Development Director Jeri Ram presented the Staff Report and advised that, at its April 2005 Goals & Objectives meeting, the City Council added a high priority goal to establish a Housing Commission/Committee. As a result, Staff prepared four options related to the formation of a Housing Commission/Committee for Council consideration: #1) Establish a Housing Commission; #2) Change the name and the focus of the "Planning Commission" to "Planning and Housing Commission;" #3) Establish a Housing Committee or Taskforce; and #4) Establish a Housing Committee as a One-Year Pilot Program. Mayor Lockhart suggested that Staff receive Council comment tonight; however, bring the issue back before the Council for consideration when all five members present. She noted that a joint Council/Commissions Goals & Objectives Workshop was scheduled for February 4th and recommended that Commission input on this issue be obtained during that meeting, as they could provide valuable insight into the process. She advised that she was leaning toward a Committee instead of a Commission because a Committee could be established for a certain period of time with set parameters to study what the City really wanted to know about, such as affordable housing. The Committee mix could include a variety of many people from the community with different points of view. Option #4, the Committee as a one-year pilot program, was her preference. If, after a year, it was determined to be beneficial, the Committee could be continued. The Committee's feedback would help determine whether the City was heading in the right direction as to affordable housing, as well as determine if this would become an ongoing process. Establishing a Commission would be a very expensive and time-consuming endeavor, and may not be necessary. Vm. Oravetz concurred with Mayor Lockhart and advised that he was amenable to Option #3 or Option #4. A Committee was much less final than a Commission and much more flexible. The City has had great success with other Committees and Taskforces that were formed for a specific purpose. Cm. Hildenbrand advised that she favored Option #4. If it was determined that the program should be continued, she envisioned it becoming an Advisory Committee to the Planning Commission. As a participant on the Housing Taskforce, she learned a lot from all of the different people who participated. It would be beneficial to open the doors to DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 25 REGULAR MEETING January 17, 2006 PAGE 28 www.ci.dubJin.ca.us many other people at different levels. A time-specific, task -specific committee should be considered with, perhaps a two-year commitment. The Committee could convene only when a specific task was presented, and re-convene as needed during the two-year timeframe. Cm. Zika agreed with Cm. Hildenbrand, and advised that, although he was not certain what the Committee would do, he was willing to try it for a year. There was not enough CDBG money to worry about putting it to a Committee, and the Council had already determined that it preferred to review agreements to make certain the Affordable Housing Program went forward. Mayor Lockhart suggested that Staff include several types of issues a Housing Committee might deal with in the next Staff Report to come before the Council. It seemed that it would be mostly related to affordable housing. The idea of having more residents in the community participate, learn, and provide valuable feedback was the most valuable facet of the Committee. Cm. Zika asked that the four options be made available to the Planning Commission for comment. Mayor Lockhart stated reiterated her desire to receive feedback from each of the Commissions at the February 4th Goals & Objectives workshop. She would like to hear from the Senior Advisory Committee, too. City Manager Ambrose clarified that the Council's direction was to continue this item to a Council meeting in March to allow for the discussion with each of the Commissions at the February 4th workshop. The Council concurred. On motion of Mayor Lockhart, seconded by Vm. Oravetz and by unanimous vote (Cm. McCormick absent), the City Council directed Staff to include this issue on the February 4, 2006, Council/Commissions Goals & Objectives Workshop Agenda, and to prepare a follow-up Staff Report for Council consideration at meeting in March 2006. .
