Note: Council Member Suen left at 6:52 p.m.  Agenda Item No. 9.1: A public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution finding no further CEQA review is necessary for the Costco Wholesale Project (EG-15-039), and  approving a Conditional Use Permit and Major Design Review.  RECOMMENDATION  By a vote of 3-1 (1 abstention) on May 5, 2016, the Planning Commission recommends 1) Finding no further CEQA review is necessary for the Costco Wholesale Project pursuant to Section 15183 of Division 6 of Chapter 3 of Title 14 of the California 2) Approving the Conditional Use Permit and Major Design Review for the Costco Wholesale Project, (EG-15-039), subject to the findings and conditions of approval. With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Nathan Anderson, Planner, provided an overview of the staff report and recommended actions. The project was for the construction of a 150,000 square foot Costco wholesale retail store, a 24 pump fueling facility (with potential expansion capacity to 30 pumps), parking lot, signage, landscaping.. a new signalized intersection at Ginther Drive, and pedestrian access through the site. The Project was located on approximately 17 acres near the southeastern corner of Bruceville Road and Elk Grove Boulevard (with Civic Center Drive forming the Project's southern boundary). The Project was adjacent to the Ridge Shopping Center Project located directly west of, the proposed Costco site (the Ridge Shopping Center Project was approved by the Planning Commission on May 5). The Project site was part of Laguna Ridge. Specific Plan zoned for; Shopping Center. The Project was defined as a Retail Warehouse Club and the Shopping Center zoning district required approval by the City Council of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) under the Laguna Ridge. Specific Plan for any buildings over 100,000 square feet. A CUP typically reviews for land use compatibility and project design,the site was within an appropriate zoning district, sized appropriately for the. type of project, traffic volume was consistent with prior analysis under the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Town Center EIR, and there was separation distance from existing homes as the Project backed up against Civic Center Drive where the rear walls almost function 'as a sound wall to separate activity within the shopping center from the residences on the south side of Civic. Center Drive. The, Project conformed with all development regulations, no signage would be permitted on the. southern portion of  that, the City Council adopt a resolution:  Code. of Regulations (State CEQA Guidelines); and  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, May 25,2016 Page 5,0f13.    the building, four points of access were proposed with reciprocal access to both east and west, and 751 parking spaces provided (in excess of the parking requirement). Customer activity was focused on the northern side of the. building, and the Town Center focused on pedestrian. connectivity, with the Project providing extensive, dedicated pedestrian amenities on the site. The primary driveway was a signalized intersection installed at Ginther Drive designed to not allow traffic to pass into neighborhoods north of Elk Grove Boulevard. Delivery truck access was proposed on the southwestern portion at Civic Center Drive, with loading and unloading occurring on the north side of the building (with the building functioning as a sound want to reduce the noise impact. to residences on the south side of Civic Center Drive). Traffic studies prepared for the project. were conducted for both the Ridge Shopping Center and the Costco project, which. identified two intersections at a level of service rating D as a result of the project (Lèvel of Service D on a scale. of A-F, A being the highest, F the lowest, D or better was acceptable under the Elk Grove Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines), the remainder of intersections were levels A, B, or C with no intersection going above the levels considered unacceptable. The architecture of the building incorporated a variety of materials, colors, and articulations, and one deviation from the design guidelines was requested to place the building entry to be set back a considerable distance from the. frontage of Elk Grove. Boulevard (and subsequently minimize use. of the rear of the site along Civic Center Drive. The project was found exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the area was analyzed already as part of the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan EIR and Laguna Ridge Town Center Subsequent EIR, and was approved by the Planning Commission: at its meeting of  May 5, 2016.  Mayor Davis declared the public hearing open,  Jennifer Maurillo, Director of Real Estate for Costco Wholesale, provided a building materials board to display the types of finishes used in the facility design. She' stated the preferencès to develop at this site including proximity to current Costco members, assisting in redirecting çustomers visiting the South Sacramento location (South Sacramento would remain open, the opening of an Elk Grove location would make both facilities less crowded providing a more pleasant member experience), central, location in the market near residents, appropriately zoned and able. to meet all requirements with adequate infrastructure and utilities access, and multiple vehicular access points. She noted the layout design oriented the project towards. Elk Grove Boulevard and plaçed the quiet side of the building south to adjacent residential uses along with a healthy landscape buffer. The gas station was placed as far away from the residential and hospital uses. as possible, and the gas station was planned to be built larger at the start. to provide, more capacity and subsequently have less lines (a 56 car capacity before backup into the driveway, with an attendant on site to assist members, and a queue. management plan). The general building design intended to incorporate design elements of the existing shopping centers east and thé hospital property to the west, and the design team worked with the Ridge shopping center team to find a design In reply to Council Member Detrick, Robert Grantham, Manager at the South Sacramento Costco, and Danny Kwong, responded that product lines at various Costco  architecturally compatible with what they were planning.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, May 25,2016 Page6of13    stores were often different based on the clientele that frequented a particular site. During building opening the buying team. would reach out to area merchants to see what local products: could be offered at the location. Speçiric locations often offered products not seen elsewhere, resulting in location specific products that catered to the. members. that shop and live in a. particular area. Buyers were. sought locally for food products, often hard goods contracts were the same across store sites though some higher end items could. be offered at locations based on community income levels and/or requests  from shopping members. PUBLIC COMMENT  Ethan Jackson believed a store of this size should be located near freeway access and not in proximity to residential uses. He cited concerns of traffic congestion, which would Barbara Hull believed Elk Grove Boulevard traffic was already heavily impacted, and raised concern about traffic and traffic incidents with approval of this project. She believed the end product design looked like warehousè which was bétter suited for a location near freeway access. Ms. Hull wanted to review policies on what constituted Pramod Kulkarni raised concerns' about the architecture, and traffic impacts to neighboring residences. He was surprised that a subsidy was being requested and opposed providing any form of subsidy, directly or indirectly, related to the project. Diane Lampe believed a warehouse store with gas pumps should be located near freeway access and not at this location. She supporled a Costco in the City limits but Susan Griffin did not believe a warehouse store and gas station should be in proximity to residential uses, and that the project would have a significant impact. on traffic congestion and increase pollution. She submitted a petition letter (filed) signed by 65 individuals voting against the location of this Costco, voicing support to explore alternative locations in the City but not in such close proximity" to residents. Lynn Wheat submitted piçtures (filed) which she believed displayed Costco stores with much higher design standards and: aesthetics, and a better design should be required of this project. She noted the developer at this site. received previous economic incentives and believed no further economic incentives should be given. She believed the overall area of Laguna Ridge was being compromised through genéral plan amendments, Allenya Kirby did not support the project at this location, believing a more suitable location would be near freeway access as the proposal placed the project in an already highly trafficked area. She believed better design could be implémented using masonry  be even more impacted on weekends.  acceptable traffic impact limits.  not atthis location, and not if the store required an economic subsidy.  rezones, and higher property assessments.  or an improved roofline or overhangs.  Elk Grove City. Council Regular Meeting, Mày 25,2016 Page 7of13    Ms. A. Joseph cited issues of the project bringing noise. pollution, and air pollution from the gas station. She believed property values surrounding the site would decrease, that the building was a poor. design, and the red.stripe on the. back of the building would be visually invasive (and any landscape buffer would take years. to. mature. and cover the building exterior). She believed there were other vacant locations where a. Costco would be a better fit. She did not believe the public was properly notified, and raised issuès with the public notices sent for the project, noting on one of the noticès the envelope Larry Chan questioned if the environmental reports. were updated to analyze impacts with the current traffic conditions on Elk Grove Boulevard. He believed the. building facilities were too close to the- neighborhood residences and a propsoed Costco store Margot Shayne opposed a building of the size, design, and function being located as proposed and suggested consideration at an alternative location. She cited issues of Mike Debrota, Real Estate Broker for Costco, clarified Costco was not seeking any form of subsidy and would pay all applicable fees. In reply to Council Member Detrick, Mr. Debrota stated. that though speakers expressed a desire for an Elk Grove location along a freeway access; Costco already had a location along State Route 99 in South Sacramento, and if Costco were to consider an alternate location it would select a location along the Interstate 5 corridor in the. City of Sacramento city limits. Mayor Davis noted the land at the project site had long, been zoned for commercial uses, a long planned shopping center with a corner designed for high volume traffic, and the Costco project would serve as an anchor to the Ridge shopping center. He had received numerous communications in support of Costco at this location. He recalled meeting with Costco representatives in 2008 and at that time the representatives directly requested a sharing agreement (though that may not ber a direct request of the team today, it was. a direct request in 2008). He noted that in vicinity to the. project was a 330 bed, six-story hospital with a helipad next to the Costco site that had been approved, and along Elk Grove Boulevard. a long term Civic Center project was underway contemplating high volume use of the Elk: Grove Boulevard corridor (seeing a major increase in traffic, but the roadway was also planned for such use). Mayor Davis held concerns about the design, and believed a better project could be made utilizing natural stone and incorporating a more consistent look. with the Ridge shopping center. Council Member Hume. shared that he too had received numerous communications in support of Gostco at this location, and that this site anticipated such, a use in the planning of the area. The final siting and selection of location of projects was a private agreement between a property owner and a user, not a decision of the. City Council, and likely. if the Costco was not developed at this location it would. locate at Delta Shores in Sacramento. The comparisons drawn of the South Sacramento Costco were an example of a high-volume store, whereas other Costco locations had much lower traffic volume. The proposed store location was within the interior to the community and may actually work better for the overall traffic pattern splitting potential traffic flow east and  was completely empty.  should be located near freeway access.  noise pollution, air pollution, and light pollution.

Costco would serve as an anchor store that could attract other tenants to the adjacent shopping cènters. He believed the south elevation should be. treated differently than the north elèvation, as it acts as a sound wall for the residential uses to the south, suggesting in addition to no signage on the south elevation to. remove the red stripe that had been proposed on the south side: He suggested Condition 43 regarding the. delivery truck plan encourage moving vehicles and delivery routes away from the homes to the south, and suggesting no overnight truck deliveries on Civic Center Drive. Mr. Hume had issues with the design as Viçe Mayor Ly stated he had received more correspondence in support of the project than opposing the project, stated his support for a Costco at this location noting there were. numerous factors outside of the City's control in terms of where an applicant wanted to locate a project, and hé supported making the Project blend as much is Mayor Davis voiced preferences for design more aligned with the boutique specialty shops of the Ridge shopping center project, to incorporate more: stone façade, and look Ms. Maurillo noted the applicant's willingness to work on the elevations and enhance the entryway, the plans presented were based on Planning Commission direction to provide more richness in the canopy area, and additional work could be done changing materials and colors. She stated the. red stripe could be removed to make the south side elevation less obtrusive to residents, and would be amenable to conditions regarding truck deliveries and delivéry routes. The design team believed an adequate variation was achieved in the roof line, the design submitted conformed with the City design guidelines, there was concern to add windows as such design was against the Costco standard model and raised security concerns, and a main objective in the. design was to provide a transition piece between the medical facility to the east the boutique Council Member Hume suggested incorporating stone and/or glass materials to make Council Member Detrick believed Çostco had been evaluating that site for over 10 years, and if a Costco was not approved it would affect the viability of the neighboring retail uses. He supported incorporating a higher end design and product offering, and noted he had received more correspondence in support ofthe project than opposing the project quality project. Mr. Detrick suggested the architects between the Ridge project Staff noted the item could be returned to give the applicant time to revise the site design  proposed and wanted an improved design effort from the applicant.  possible to. the: neighboring shopping center.  at options to enhance the entry canopy.  specialty retail proposed to the west.  vertical delineations and break up the massing of the building.  and Costco work together to improve the project design. and return with revised conditions of'approval for the project.

RECOMMENDATION  Staff recommends the City Council: 1) receive an overview of the Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 Annual Budget; and 2) receive the Annual Budget, Message. The budget document will be distributed at the May: 25, 2016 City: Council Meeting, and published online on May 25, 2016. Final action on the. budget could occur as early as June 8, With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Laura Gill, City Manager, provided an overview of the FY 2016-17 Budget proposal and presented the Annual Budget Message. The total proposed budget was $339 million, which included a roll forward of the previously unspent budget authorizations on long-term capital projects. The General Fund Budget was proposed at $65.6 million, a 6% increase over the current fiscal year, and Fund Balancerat the end ofFY 2016-17 was projected to be at $16.5 million (25.4% of General Fund appropriation). Five new positions in the Police Department were proposed (two Police Officers, a Detective, and two non-sworn positions of a Property & Evidence Technician and a Supervising Forensic Investigator). The Transit Budget saw as surplus in FY 2015-16 and projected a surplus for FY 2016-17, noting the continued practice of not charging indirect costs to the Transit Fund for services. provided by personnel paid for through the General Fund (just over $835,000 General Fund subsidy of indirect costs). The Budget included the continuation of the one-time initiatives for the General Plan Update (the third and final funding phase ofthe General Plan Update), Phase I Civic Center design work,, and New Growth Area projects. General Fund revenues were $65.2 million, and compensation expenses comprised 61% of the General Fund Budget. Special events and grants saw their budget decrease between this fiscal year and next fiscal year due to leveraging opportunities with the private sector on sponsorships of events. Ms. Gill reviewed the service plan for the upcoming fiscal year which focused on key initiatives of the City Council adopted goals. For the goal for fostering a vibrant and diverse economy $200,000 was allocated for the general economic incentive program, review and update of the City economic incentive programs, continued efforts to expand the business retention program, and continued work in New Growth. Area Infrastructure Projects. For the goal to foster and support the safest and most highly connected neighborhoods work. would continue: on the General Plan update, environmental, design work, and a financing plan would be conducted for the Animal Shelter, the Police Department would plan for and invest in body camera. technology, enhancements would be implemented to increase website features including interactive GIS tools and maintaining and improving the open checkbook  2016.  Elk Grove City Council Regular Meeting, May2 25, 2016 Page 10of13.    application, and staff would continue advancement of the Kammerer Road widening and extension project. For the goal to distinguish Elk Grove as a city with an array of opportunities for sports and cultural activities work would continue to support the Elk Grove Tourism Marketing District, to develop a site plan and perform environmental review for the Civic Center and begin Phaselconstnuction, planning for the Multi Sport Complex, and complete Phase I of the Old Town Plaza (installation of bathrooms, fencing, landscaping, and pavemênt resurfacing)- For the goal to serve as wise responsive stewards of fiscal, physical and natural resourcès work would incluce continued engagement through the Quality of Life survey and outreach for Quality of Life initiatives, Public Works would develop a Computerized Maintenance Management System to forecast project needs for roads (and expanding to, include facilities), the transit system Comprehensive Operations Analysis would continue, support for enhanced grant application research capabilities would be initiated, and a. plan would bé. implemented to prioritize General Fund savings to pull down liability reductions toward pension obligations and paying inter-fund loans. For the goal to recognize the City's high operational performance and achieve new levels of organizational excellence work would include adoption of performânce targets to integrate performance management into decision making, and continue to build on the strength of interagency relationships The General Fund five year plan would see funds taken out of Fund Balance for one time, initiatives, by FY 2020-21 the cumulative results of revenues would exceed expenditures (and any need to use Fund Balance for one time initiatives) as the City will start receiving more revenue neutrality payments-that currently are going to Sacramento County. The reduction of the revenue. neutrality payrnent over'time presents long-term opportunities for funding City projects. The five year projection does not include assumptions such as completion of the Outlet Mall, repayments for infrastructure installed for the New Growth Area, major growth or recession pressures, nor any labor agreements. Ms. Gill highlighted two projects in the new Capital Improvement Program (CIP) of the Kammerer Road Extension from Bruceville Road to Interstate 5 (which would start right-of-way acquisitions in the next fiscal year and construction by March 2020), and the Green Streets Pilot Project which would occur over the next two years inçluding engineering, right-of-way, and preconstruction costs. The construction of the Elk Grove-Florin Road Green Streets pilot program was dependènt upon receiving.grant. funds. (or identifying other revenue sources). Within the CIP summary, 60% of the projects were funded, the remaining unfunded needs were being identified to focus efforts in identifying adequate revenue sources. External finâncing utilizing Laguna Ridge Community Facilities District debt would be used to fund multiple capital projects including New Growth Area infrastructure and Civic Center projects. The Budget would be returned for City Council consideration during the budget workshop scheduled for the Council Member Detrick shared that; a list of projects, that had individual total costs over $250,000, was provided to him displaying that 99 major projects had been completed City Manager Gill noted the listing of completed projects would be included in the budget workshop scheduled for the June 8, 2016 regular City Council meeting, and  and regional partnerships.

PUBLIC COMMENT  Lynn Wheat requested that the proposed budget be posted and available for public review at the time the. agenda was posted. She noted the budget included an economic incentive line item, and wondered if the property owner, in relation to the Costco item heard earlier this evening, would be applying for an economic incentive and whether consideration for such an incentive would be returned at a later date for City Council The City Council received the.

Districts.  RECOMMENDATION and other Special Districts.  Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution levying the Special Taxes or Special Assessments for Fiscal Year 2016-17 for seven Community Facilities Districts With the aid of a visual presentation (filed), Brandon Merritt, Finance Analyst, provided an overview of the staff report and recommended actions. The City had employed a strategy to inçrease rates gradually matching service levels to assessment levels, and to date all street maintenance districts were levied at. the maximum. amount allowable. He displayed the dollar't figure differences of rate increases between Fiscal Year 2015- 16 and. 2016-17 for all districts, noting one error in Table One on page six. of staff report clarifying that the rate increase proposed for the Laguna Ridge CFD 2005-1 maintenance services portion of the direct levy was $16.07, not the $71.75 listed in the table in the report (the. $16.07 reflected the accurate CPI increase of 2.69%). Adopting the incremental increases year to yéar assisted to maintain current service levels, provide. sufficient reserve funds for future projects, and maintain stable- service charges.
