PUBLIC STATEMENTS a. Agenda Item Public Statements b. Non-Agenda Item Public Statement 3. ADOPT JUNE 13, 2022 AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Motion by Committee Member Gray, seconded by Committee Member Smith to adopt the agenda summary report as submitted. Motion carried. 4. DEFERRED BUSINESS A. Committee Discussion and Recommendation Regarding Update on Parking Stall Size Standards – C. Boyle Chris Boyle, Development Services Director provided committee members an update from the original referral from Committee Member Smith regarding comparable city parking stall size standards. It was found that the average size stalls are 8.5 ft. wide by 16 ft. long. A typical percentage of compact stalls allowed would be 25 percent. Committee Gray requested some background on this topic as she was not here when the original referral was requested by Committee Chair Freeman. City staff provided a quick general overview of parking and how it impacts development. Committee Member Smith moved to prepare an ordinance amendment incorporating compact stalls into the City’s parking regulations providing for compact parking stall of 8 feet by 15 feet in depth, at a ration of 20% of all stalls beyond the first 20 stalls required, including compact stalls being allowed in residential use settings. Committee Member Gray seconded the motion. Motion carried. 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Committee Discussion and Recommendation Regarding Floor Area Ratio (FAR) – Chris Boyle, Development Services Director provided committee an overview of ordinance specific to Floor Area Ration (FAR) and analysis whether FAR has potential to cause barrier to greater density in the downtown area. Committee Member Gray moved to defer item at this time. Committee Member Smith seconded. Motion carried. B. Committee Discussion and Recommendation Regarding General Plan Update and Housing Element – C. Boyle Chris Boyle, Development Services Director provided committee members an information update of the progress towards updating the General Plan. No action by the committee was required. Receive and file. C. Committee Discussion and Recommendation Regarding Downtown Commercial Vacant Building Ordinance (Fresno Ordinance) – P. Burns Phil Burns, Building Director, provided the committee an update on Chronic Vacant Nuisance Buildings from information provided to the committee June 22, 2022 committee meeting and discussion of Chronic Vacant Nuisance Building Toolkit. Committee Member Smith asked for some clarification on the timeline for receivership process. City staff provided committee a general overview of steps of the receivership process. Mr. Burns went on to share information on City of Fresno Code Enforcement Program, the telephone conference with Fresno staff, and the City’s plan to conduct a site visit to better understand Fresno’s approach and programs. Mr. Burns shared that they have 5 to 6 attorneys solely dedicated to Code Enforcement. Currently Bakersfield has a total of 4 attorney’s and none that are dedicated to only Code Enforcement. Mr. Burns reported that the staff is still in the process of finalizing the City Chronic Vacant Nuisance Building Tool Kit as they also work on hiring employees to operate the program which would include two code enforcement officers, one assistant code enforcement officer and an operations support specialist to complete the Special Projects Unit. Committee Member Smith asked about City purchasing some of the Nuisance Buildings. City staff shared that although monies have been set aside for that purpose. Staff is still working on the details on which ones will be moved to receivership or purchase or eligible for EOA funding for demolition. Also, once a building is purchased, what will the next steps look like; what will it take to rehab the location. City Attorney Ginny Gennaro suggested real estate negotiations be brought to closed session for preliminary council approval. Committee Member Smith asked about imminent domain information. An informational memo was provided from City Attorney’s Office to the committee after the meeting. Committee Member Smith moved to direct staff to visit City of Fresno’s Code Enforcement efforts on chronic vacant nuisance buildings and bring back suggested ordinance to a special meeting before bringing to full council. Committee member Gray seconded. Motion carried. 6. COMMITTEE COMMENTS None 7. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 1:13 p.m. August 30, 2022 MEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Bruce Freeman, Chair Bob Smith Patty Gray FROM: Christopher Boyle, Development Services Director SUBJECT: Update on Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Information provided within this memorandum functions as an update to information provided at the August 30, 2022, Planning and Development Committee meeting. At that meeting, the topic of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) was referred back to staff with a request for better clarity as to how FAR is calculated and what implications the removal of FAR from zoning ordinance might be in the downtown district of the community. BACKGROUND Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is defined in the Municipal Code (BMC Section 17.04.282) as the gross floor area of all buildings on a parcel or site divided by the net parcel or site area as depicted in the following: FAR = Total gross building floor area (sq. ft.) Total net parcel/site area (sq. ft.) The Bakersfield Municipal Code only provides FAR provisions within the C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center) Zone Districts, BMC Sections 17.25 and 17.26 respectively. The maximum FAR in both the C- B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center) Zone Districts is 3.0. This means that the square footage of a building in these zones may be three times larger than the parcel it is located on. Additional floor area may be permitted by the Planning Director when the project includes one or more public benefit features. The Downtown Bakersfield area is formally referred to as the “Central District” by the Municipal Code and is illustrated in Chapter 17.58. The area is generally considered 23rd Street (north), Q Street (east), California Avenue (south), and F Street (west). This area is primarily zoned C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center), with a General Plan designation of MUC (Mixed Use). Although FAR is referenced in the Land Use Element of the General Plan, the zoning ordinance only references FAR within the C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center). ANALYSIS Floor area ratios are but one tool that shape the form and function of the built environment. By defining total potential square footage as a ratio of overall lot size, the built environment is inherently limited as to how large a structure can become. Other ordinal tools that shape the urban form include building height limitations, zoning setbacks, and/or lot coverage. In the C-B and C-C Zone Districts, there are no setback requirements (except in specific instances) and liberal building height restrictions. Lot coverages allow 100% coverage of any parcel area (except in specific instances). Thus, removal of FAR requirements in the downtown would result in the building scale being guided almost exclusively by building height requirements. Current parking requirements would also create inherent constraints. Discussion at the August 30th Planning and Development Committee meeting naturally migrated to a conversation on the interrelationship of parking and building scale. Whereas the removal of FAR will allow for potentially much larger structures, parking requirements for those structures increases with square footage. Lack of parking squelches the attractiveness of the structure for tenants, whether residential or commercial, and the cost of constructing subterranean or pedestal-style parking is prohibitive. Thus, parking is needed to make larger buildings viable, but parking construction costs make larger building cost-prohibitive. The end result is that removal of FAR requirements from the zoning code only provides the opportunity to build bigger structures; it does not provide a strategy to make larger structures economically more feasible. The Zoning Ordinance does not address the economics of development – only the scale that development can aspire to. Staff is familiar with the parking-building scale dynamic. Removal of FAR requirements will provide for greater square footage in the downtown area, and provision of parking to serve this square footage will be an increasing prerequisite to ensure vitality in the downtown sector and sustain and enhance the functionality of the downtown core moving forward. For this reason, staff noted that a wholistic parking strategy for the downtown core will be necessary in order to fully capitalize on the potential densities of a non-FAR-constrained downtown landscape. A Property and Business Improvement District (PBID) encompassing the Central District is one tool that could create a long-lasting solution to what is becoming a long-lasting problem. A PBID is a special benefit assessment district that can provide support for enhanced amenities such as parking, maintenance, public safety, beautification and economic development programs above and beyond those provided by the City. Although the City currently provides expanded services in the Central District that include cleaning, tree-trimming and care, homeless assistance, business development and street life projects such as wall murals and decorative lighting, PBID services, to include parking, could improve the overall viability of Central District, resulting in higher property values, sales and tax revenues, and the capacity to construct larger structures unencumbered by the challenges of providing on-site parking. In association with a separate concern on today’s agenda, staff visited the nearby (and often compared) City of Fresno. While looking at vacant buildings in Fresno, the group also toured the downtown sector of the City. Fresno’s downtown is supported by a PBID. Downtown Fresno provides multiple public parking garages and lots which cumulatively provide nearly 4,700 parking stalls. When counting on-street parking, downtown Fresno provides 6,696 parking stalls. Bakersfield Downtown District includes a total of 2,735 parking stalls, of which only 590 are located in a public parking garage. Regardless, staff remains not averse to the removal of FAR requirements from the C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center) Zone Districts. It continues the process toward realizing a renewed vision for downtown. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that your Committee digest the information within this report and any testimony associated with the Committee meeting and provide direction to staff. CEQA analysis will not be completed as part of this report as there is no project associated with the preparation of this report per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). NEXT STEPS Staff will take the direction of the Committee. Potential options include: 1. Direct staff to prepare an ordinance amendment that removes ordinance specific to the application of floor area ratios in the C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center) Zone Districts and prepare appropriate environmental documentation in support of the ordinance amendment. 2. Provide alternative direction to staff as it relates to retention or elimination of FAR ordinance in the C-B (Central Business) and C-C (Commercial Center) Zone Districts. 3. Provide no direction at this time. Receive and file this report. MEMORANDUM September 22, 2022 TO: PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Bruce Freeman, Chair Patty Gray Bob Smith FROM: Christopher Boyle, Development Services Director Phil Burns, Building Director SUBJECT: Update from Staff Visit to Fresno (on Chronic Vacant Nuisance Buildings) Information provided within this memorandum functions as an update to information provided at the August 30, 2022, Planning and Development Committee meeting. At that meeting, the topic of The City of Fresno’s vacant building ordinance related to commercial buildings was discussed as staff had completed a teleconference with Fresno Code Enforcement Staff. Due to the vast amount of information exchanged, City staff requested a site visit to Fresno to both discuss the ordinance further and observe Fresno’s implementation in the field. Staff had a site visit to Fresno on September 16, 2022, which include Assistant City Manager Gary Hallen, Development Services Director, Christopher Boyle, Building Director, Phil Burns and Code Enforcement Manager David Paquette. City of Fresno Code Enforcement Program As discussed in the last committee meeting, Fresno has a very robust Code Enforcement Program including five plus attorneys. I truly commend Fresno’s Attorney’s Office and Code Enforcement Staff. Fresno graciously “pulled out all stops” during our visit. We met with the Chief Assistant City Attorney over the Code Enforcement program, Community Compliance Manager, two senior Code Enforcement Officers assigned this task, Building Official, Head Engineer, Director of Prevention Services and the list goes on. The Code Enforcement Program was moved under the City Attorney’s office three years ago and their new Fresno Vacant Building ordinance that applies to commercial properties is just over one year old. As we found in our initial telephone conversation and expressed to this committee, the ordinance as written is stringent but is not being strictly followed dues to various site constraints for this type of building. For instance, there appears to be a provision that would require a building owner to install a fire sprinkler system if the commercial building met the requirements. The reality is they are following the Fire Code provisions where they can, which requires 5-year certifications to the sprinkler system. Some buildings fire systems have been vandalized to a point that it is to excessively expensive to require a repair. It would only get repaired if there was a tenant that took occupancy in the future. Each property is assessed to determine what will be requested. Fresno is purposely not utilizing administrative penalties in an effort to gain collaborative compliance. Fresno shared a lot of their approaches including what appeared to work and items that need to be revised. They admitted that their ordinance is dynamically changing based on their experiences. As an example, they have a requirement for Plexiglas or similar clear to be used for window board ups. They found it has many pros and cons and are now moving to solely utilizing plywood that is painted. They are still exploring the best color. Some areas of town were painted to match the building, some were painted a standardized grey and others a mat black. Fresno also moved to an entire in-house abatement staff. City employees are completing all abatements. We did not get into the details of this side of the program. After meeting with Fresno’s team, Bakersfield City staff internally met and brained stormed what is the difference between what we do now and what is accomplished by Fresno’s ordinance. More than any particular “tool” or “requirement”, speeding up the applicable timelines for abatement is the key item. In some instances, Fresno utilizes an 18-day notice to abate without an abatement hearing. Tying this shortened abatement timeline to our chronic vacant nuisance buildings city wide would provide a much greater impact to all our neighborhoods, including vacant commercial buildings, fire damaged buildings and chronic or substandard nuisance properties. We have been working with the City Attorney’s Office to revise our current administrative process to clarify and shorten timelines in these circumstances. Ordinance Revisions At the Committee meeting, the City Attorney’s Office will present suggestions to amend the Bakersfield Municipal Code regarding the abatement of public nuisances, including vacant/substandard/chronic nuisance properties. Conclusions City staff continues to make steps forward in creating a comprehensive program to address blighted buildings and properties. Dedicated personnel should be on staff within the next six weeks. NEXT STEPS Staff will take the direction of the Committee. Potential options include: 1. Direct staff to move forward with proposed ordinance modification as depicted at the committee meeting to speed up our process for abatement of violations where the conditions of a Chronic Vacant Nuisance Building exist. 2. Provide Alternate direction to Staff.
