PUBLIC COMMENT  Sophia Scherman, Norm De Young, and Lyndon King presented a plaque to the City Council thanking the City for its continuing support of the Veterans Day Parade. Lynn Wheat believed residents of the Sacramento region needed to be more aware of suburban sprawl issues, loss of agricultural land, and environmental damage. She felt presentations at the November 2013 Sacramento Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) meeting addressed these issues, but more citizens needed to become engaged. Ms. Wheat did not agree with decisions being made by the City, and believed increased transparency in decision making was needed to foster an informed citizenry. Michael Monasky addressed closed session negotiations on four properties under the special meeting agenda, stating his understanding for the need for confidentiality to discuss price and terms, but wanted information as to how the lands considered for Rosa Salazar supported the City building its own animal shelter, and raised conçerns over the recent contract with Sacramento County to provide animal sheltering services. Ms. Salazar stated area traffic was increasing and should be addressed. Karen Lopez disagreed with the City spending funds pursuing destination amenities, and opposed placing an interchange at State Route 99 and Whitelock Parkway, stating such an interchange was not needed and would damage Elk Grove Regional Park.  acquisition would be utilized by the City.  GENERAL ADMINISTRATION INFORMATION  City Manager Laura Gill reviewed the December 11, 2013 Administrative Report (filed).

Elk Grove City Council Page 2of13  Regular Meeting, December 11, 2013    Council Member Hume reported the Capital SouthEast Connector Joint Powers Authority Board meeting adopted the design guidelines, and delayed consideration of the plan of finance. He stated the next chair for the upcoming year of the Sacramento Regional Transit District (RT) Board would be Sacramento County Board Supervisor Phil Serna. The Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District Board of Directors received an update on several of the projects taking place at the wastewater treatment plant to meet the state required National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, and adopted a plan to consider procurement alternatives for equipment upgrading the plant. Mr. Hume requested increased promotion of the City toy drive, to address a burned out street light at Lismore Drive and Elk Grove-Florin Road, and to consider traffic control alternatives for impacted traffic conditions that Council Member Trigg announced that the Sacramento Public Library Authority received ac design excellence award for the agency website. He attended the Police Department volunteer appreciation luncheon, met with Sacramento County Board Supervisor Don Nottoli, and spoke to a local realtor group on amenities and quality of life aspects of Elk Mayor Davis attended the Police Department volunteer appreciation luncheon, and the Indus Valley Chamber of Commerce annual meeting.

Mayor Davis noted the non-profit performing arts group Musical Mayhem Productions was seeking a permanent facility, and he asked if the City Economic Development Incentive Program qualification criteria could be revisited to allow such a non-profit group to participate in the program.  occur at school sites.  Grove.  CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS PUBLIC COMMENT  Sarah Johnson believed the Whitelock Parkway I State Route 99 Interchange Project addressed under Item 8.16 should not be on the consent calendar, and no project should proceed if it would disrupt any part of Elk Grove Regional Park. She believed Lynn Wheat opposed any project that would have a negative impact on Elk Grove Regional Park. Addressing Item 8.16, she believed that CalTrans would only present plans that were safe for traffic and would be a detriment to the park. Ms. Wheat believed the General Plan should be revisited with resident stakeholder input. Karen Lopez opposed Item 8.16, believing the Elk Grove Boulevard and Grant Line Road interchanges were in proximity removing the need for an interchange at Whitelock Parkway. She did not believe the City could legally encroach on Elk Grove Regional Park, and a proposed freeway interchange at this location would ruin the park. Ms. Lopez believed the matter should be better publicized to receive public input.  the item should not go forward until public outreach was conducted.  Elk Grove City Council Page3of13  Regular Meeting, December 11,2013    Sally Bergen opposed Item 8.16, believing any highway interchange construction at the location would have an adverse effect on Elk Grove Regional Park. She noted receiving correspondence from the City that this action was part of the long-term forecasting for traffic and circulation improvement for the City, which she disagreed with expending funds for a project based on a ten year old General Plan. Ms. Bergen did not believe Michael Monasky addressed Item 8.16 stating his opposition to the interchange, and noted the map of the staff report displayed an affected area that included Elk Grove Regional Park and neighboring residences. Mr. Monasky did not believe the proposed Mark Doty supported an interchange at Whitelock Parkway / State Route 99 if vehicular access was only allowed to the west, and the project incorporated a pedestrian overcrossing. He believed this would serve the future residential build out areas of Laguna Ridge and the Southeast Policy Area, and with no vehicular access east it could diminish the size of the interchange to minimize impacts to Elk Grove Regional Park. Motion: M/S Hume/Trigg to remove Item 8.16 for separate consideration, and approve the remainder of the Consent Calendar as presented. The motion passed by the  the matter was appropriately vetted to the citizenry.  interchange would relieve traffic congestion.  following vote: Ayes: 4; Noes: 0; Absent: 1 (Cooper).

Item 8.16 was moved for separate consideration from the Consent Calendar Agenda Item No. 8.16: Consider adopting resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Cooperative Agreement with the State of California Department of Transportation for the Whitelock Parkway / State Route 99 Interchange Project Public Works Director Richard Shepard noted that prior to commencing the planning process for the Whitelock Parkway / State Route 99 Interchange Project, since the facility would be on the freeway, Caltrans needed to be involved and provide oversight of the process. He clarified the City would be the lead agency developing plans and designs, and a primary objective of the project would be to minimize or completely remove impacts to Elk Grove Regional Park. Mr. Shepard noted this was an initial step prior to commencing the project, and there would be numerous opportunities for public Council Member Hume noted there would be no actual expenditures until Caltrans accrued costs related to their review of the project ideas put forward.

Elk Grove City Council Page 6of13  Regular Meeting, December 11, 2013    Regional Park, and the General Plan envisioned the interchange to relieve traffic congestion both from planned surrounding uses and to alleviate the Elk Grove Boulevard interchange. Mr. Hume noted three miles was a long separation between interchanges, with Caltrans often dictating one mile spacing, and an interchange at that location would serve areas with no immediate access to and from the freeway. Public Works Director Shepard addressed the diagram in the staff report, noting it was a presentation of where in the City the project area resided, it was not a depiction of a project footprint. He noted staff placed the item on the consent calendar as the agreement with Caltrans was not thought as controversial, though the project location and potential to affect Elk Grove Regional Park seemed the focus of comments and concerns, and in the project timeline of five to seven years, there would be several City Manager Gill noted that in addition to being in the General Plan, initial studies for the Whitelock Interchange Project were programmed as part of the City budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and in the future the City would take the opportunity to outline projects contained in the CIP during the annual budget Council Member Hume requested staff evaluate placement of items on the consent calendar, expanding beyond the action requested to the general topic area to determine ifan item would be considered potentially controversial, and more appropriately heard Motion: M/S Hume/Detrick to adopt Resolution No. 2013-245 authorizing the City Manager to execute a Cooperative Agreement with the State of California Department of Transportation for the Whitelock Parkway / State Route 99 Interchange Project (WTR009).

PUBLIC HEARINGS  Agenda Item No. 9.1: A public hearing to consider Industrial Sites General Plan Amendments and Rezones, Residential Rezones, Highway Travel Commercial (TC) Zoning District Repeal and Rezone, Minor Use Permit - City Initiated Project  RECOMMENDATION:  The Planning Commission recommends (5-0):  1) Adopt resolution approving the Negative Declaration for the Industrial Sites Analysis Project (the "Project"), subject to findings contained in the Project's resolution; and 2) Adopt resolution amending the General Plan Land Use Map from Heavy Industry to Light Industry for the Project and amending portions of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the M-1 and M-2 zoning district terms to "LI" and "HI" and to repeal the TC zoning district, subject to findings contained in the Project's resolution; 3) Introduce and waive the full reading, by substitution of title only, an ordinance amending portions of Elk Grove Municipal Code Title 23 related to the repeal of the Highway Travel Commercial (TC) zoning district, the creation of a minor conditional use permit and zoning administrator, and the industrial allowed use table, and  and  Elk Grove City Council Page 7 of13  Regular Meeting, December 11,2013    amending the City of Elk Grove Zoning Map for the Industrial Sites Analysis Project 4) Adopt a Resolution of the City Council approving an update to the Planning Fee With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Sarah Kirchgessner, Planner, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation, The City commenced the Industrial Sites Analysis Project in 2011, conducting a site inventory to document the uses and evaluate site conditions and surrounding uses. Ms. Kirchgessner reviewed specific changes requested as a result of the inventory and stakeholder requests, noting the Travel Commercial zoning designation would be removed in its entirety (with those uses being converted to General Commercial), all land use designations on right-of-way would be removed, and the overall new designations would reduce the intensity of uses between residential and industrial uses. Through the inventory process two existing residential subdivisions in the Laguna West area of the City would be corrected to their actual zoning designations, an issue believed to have occurred as a result of the County approving the projects to move forward as residential uses but not coinciding with the pre-zoning process in preparation for annexation of Laguna West to the City, resulting in the areas still displaying their prior zoning designations. The program would create a Minor Use Permit and create a Zoning Administrator as an approving authority to review and approve the Minor Use applications. She noted a representative from Jackson Properties had requested that an identified property in Site 3 not be rezoned due to the current uses on the site and configuration of the building. Ms. Kirchgessner highlighted that in the recommendation for indoor fitness and sports facilities uses, if the Council desired such uses to require a public hearing process, it would be recommended to require Minor Use Permit or Conditional Use Permit review in the Light Industrial zone  and Residential Rezones; and  Schedule, subject to the findings in the Project's resolution.  designation.  Mayor Davis declared the public hearing open.  PUBLIC COMMENT:  Gregg Mason supported the staff recommendation, but requested the building at Site 3 retain its current M-2/HI zoning designation due to the configuration and usage of the site, and compatibility with surrounding uses. He noted his preference that the zoning designations of M-1 and M-2 remain to provide consistency with designations used  throughout the region, rather than the proposed LI and HI. Mayor Davis declared the public hearing closed.  Motion #1: M/S Detrick/Trigg to adopt Resolution 2013-246 approving the Negative Declaration for the Industrial Sites Analysis Project (the "Project"), subject to findings contained ini the Project's resolution. The motion passed by the following vote: Ayes: Motion #2: M/S Detrick/Trigg to adopt Resolution 2013-247 amending the General Plan Land Use Map from Heavy Industry to Light Industry for the Project and amending portions of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to revise the M-1 and M-2 zoning district terms to "LI" and "HI" and to repeal the TC zoning district, subject to findings contained in the Project's resolution.

REGULAR AGENDA ACTION ITEMS/REÇOMMENDATIONS  Agenda Item No. 10.1: Consider Quail Ridge Subdivision Request to close Hewitt Way  at Franklin High Road RECOMMENDATION:  Deny the request of Quail Ridge Subdivision's residents to close Hewitt Way at Franklin High Road and direct staff to continue working with the residents, Elk Grove Unified School District, (EGUSD) and Cosumnes Community Services District (CCSD) to improve traffic during the drop off and pick up periods for Toby Johnson Middle and With the aid of an overhead presentation (filed), Richard Shepard, Public Works Director, provided an overview of the staff report and recommendation. The neighborhood, by petition, requested to close Hewitt Way, citing pedestrian safety concerns and expressing frustration of the high density of cars causing traffic congestion at drop-off and pick-up times of students to the neighboring school sites of Franklin High School and Toby Johnson Middle School. The area had a history of traffic concerns, and the City had been working in conjunction with the Elk Grove Unified School District (EGUSD) to implement circulation improvements. Mr. Shepard reviewed improvements done to date, noting smaller scale improvements were conducted first to evaluate their efectiveness in improving circulation prior to investment in larger, longer term improvements. Currently a left turn pocket lane was being considered, and plans of a longer term improvement included creation of a drop-off lane along Whitelock Parkway, along with consideration of providing circulation through the school property. Based on the accident history at Hewitt Way staff did not identify a specific safety issue to warrant closure of the street, but as Hewitt Way was not necessary for circulation (and confirmed as not required by both police and fire services) it could be considered for closure. Staff recommended continuing the mplementation plan currently in place rather than closure, citing concern that if Hewitt Way was closed the traffic issues could intensify in another location in the surrounding area. Mr. Shepard reviewed options for implementing closure of Hewitt Way, citing costs in the range of $30,000 to $300,000 depending if the closure was temporary or permanent, with cost variations if closure was to both vehicles and pedestrians. It was  Franklin High Schools  Elk Grove City Council Page 9of13  Regular Meeting, December 11, 2013    noted that the long term solutions being planned had a cost of approximately $300,000, and short term improvements done to date had accrued a cost of $20,000. Council Member Detrick believed the cessation of school bus service by the EGUSD impacted traffic issues at most school sites, and that the EGUSD should be more proactive in developing and contributing solutions to these traffic issues. EGUSD Director of Planning William Heinicke stated the EGUSD had initiated staggered start and dismissal times and were studying traffic issues at this site. He noted that other school sites with internal roadways have the associated traffic controls at the perimeter of the school, road locations at this site traversed through the middle of the school site which created additional safety concerns for implementation. Police Chief Robert Lehner noted the City was coordinating with the EGUSD to create a joint traffic safety committee to address school site related traffic concerns. For these sites, though the congestion is shortened in duration, it was intense at such locations. Every school site raised different engineering and enforcement issues with the respective surrounding neighbornoods, and the committee would serve as a central point to evaluate practices and costs through the process of site evaluation and  appropriate response implementations.  PUBLIC COMMENT:  Mike King supported a temporary closure of Hewitt Way for both vehicles and pedestrians, noting the neighborhood support for such a solution. He believed a temporary closure only to vehicles would not stop student loading and unloading in the neighbornood. He described safety concerns at the current configuration of Hewitt Way, noting three roadways converge with no traffic control, that there had been three recent low-speed accidents between vehicles and bicyclists, and the residential roadways were not designed to accommodate the volume of traffic encountered during the drop-off and pick-up times. He noted the detrimental effects of using residential neighborhoods as a drop off zone, noting impacted traffic congestion, erratic driving, blocking of private driveways, loitering, littering, and vandalism. He did not believe a Mark Doty believed every school site in the City had traffic related issues and requested that any action taken be temporary in nature to assess results. He did not agree with blocking pedestrian accessibility, and believed education efforts directed at families should be pursued to promote walking or riding a bike to school to reduce vehicular Dennis Williams supported a temporary closure to vehicles and pedestrians. He stated neighborhood traffic congestion became an issue after bussing was stopped by the EGUSD. He believed the lack of bussing caused many of the traffic problems, and posed the lack of bussing was incurring costs for road improvements in excess of what itv would take to continue bussing. Mr. Williams cited issues of traffic congestion,  committee would aid in implementing any timely solutions.  traffic.  littering, and general disruptions to quality of life.  Elk Grove City Council Page 10of13  Regular Meeting, December 11, 2013    Council Member Hume believed the EGUSD had a shared responsibility on expenses and solutions to the traffic issues, and believed the current site bus lane needed to be converted to provide on-site circulation to draw traffic off the streets. He noted the City design guidelines promoted pedestrian accessibility to school sites, but noted the current preponderance of families driving their children to school. Mr. Hume supported the efforts of the Public Works department to implement traffic flow solutions, and Council Member Trigg supported continued coordination with the EGUSD, and to consider inclusion of the Cosumnes Community Services District to the traffic safety committee. Mr. Trigg held concerns that closing roadway access would only shift the traffic concerns to another neighborhood, and the precedent of allowing a road closure Mayor Davis recounted that discussions with the EGUSD on traffic at this site had been ongoing for two to three years, and though many solution options were either implemented or planned, the problem in the neighborhood persisted. He preferred to support the neighborhood as presented in the petition (closing access to both vehicles and pedestrians), but would consider a vehicle only closure if signage was put in place to discourage loading and unloading students in the neighborhood area. Council Member Detrick believed the traffic safety committee should request equitable monetary contributions from the EGUSD when implementing traffic solutions. He supported continuing the area long-term improvements identified by Public Works, and City Attorney Jonathan Hobbs noted that a resolution would have to be returned for consideration to temporarily close a roadway, which could come back at the next By consensus, the City Council provided direction to staff to return with a resolution for the temporary closure of Hewitt Way to vehicular traffic, including signage to discourage  believed a temporary solution could assist with issues at Hewitt Way.  could initiate similar requests at other school sites.  implementing a temporary barrier at Hewitt Way.  regular meeting.  loading and unloading students in the neighborhood area.
