FISCAL IMPACT:
The applicant has paid the necessary application deposit and is obligated to pay supplemental fees to cover all additional costs associated
with the application process.
BACKGROUND:
See Attachment A.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
In the event the proposed project is not approved, the applicant will not obtain the required General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Minor
Subdivision, Development Plan, and Land Use Permit entitlements necessary to allow the proposed Spieker Senior Continuing Care
Retirement Community Project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This application is to establish a continuing care retirement community. Because residency at the facility will be limited to people aged 60
and above, there will be no increased demand for public school services as a result of the project. The increase in demand for childcare
services will solely be a result of the anticipated employee force, and the increased need determined by a childcare needs study would be
mitigated as part of the Project conditions of approval.

Resolution No. 2022/410
In the matter of approving a General Plan Amendment (County File #CDGP20-00001) for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care
Retirement Community Project;
WHEREAS:
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on November 29, 2022, to consider the Spieker
Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project, proposed for the the unincorporated Walnut Creek area. The
Project includes the certification of an EIR and adoption of a Mitgation Monitoring and Reporting program prepared for
the Project, a General Plan Amendment (County File #CDGP20-00001), a rezoning ordinance (County File
#CDRZ20-03255), a minor subdivision (County File #CDMS20-00007), a Preliminary and Final Development Plan
(County File #CDDP20-03018), and a Land Use Permit (County File #CDLP20-02038).
1.
The General Plan Amendment for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project reclassifies land
from General Agricultural (A-2) to Congregate Care/Senior Housing (CC).
2.
The General Plan Amendment for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project is the fourth General
Plan Amendment fpr the calendar year 2022.
3.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors RESOLVES as follows:
The Board of Supervisors makes the following General Plan Amendment findings:
Adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment (GPA) is consistent with the provisions of the Urban Limit Line
(ULL). No change to the ULL would occur and the Project does not require extension of urban services beyond the
ULL. The subject site is located inside the ULL, and therefore may be developed with “urban” and “non-urban” uses,
as defined in the 2005-2020 Contra Costa County General Plan. The proposed land use designation, Congregate Care
(CC), is urban.
A.
Adoption of the proposed GPA will not result in a violation of the 65/35 Land Preservation Standard (the “65/35
Standard”), established through voter adoption of Measure C-1990 and reaffirmed through adoption of Measure
L-2006. Under the 65/35 Standard, no more than 35 percent of the land in the county may be developed with urban
uses and at least 65 percent of the land must be preserved for non-urban uses such as agriculture, open space, parks,
wetlands, etc. The existing land use designation for the subject site, Single-Family Residential Medium Density
(SM), is an urban land use designation. No non-urban land use designations are present on-site. The proposed CC
land use designation is also an urban designation. Therefore, the percentage of land with urban and non-urban
designations will not change as a result of the GPA.
B.
The Project complies with the objectives and requirements of Measure J-2004, the Contra Costa Growth
Management Program (GMP), and related Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) resolutions. The CCTA
GMP Implementation Guide (2021) sets forth procedures for local agency consultation and evaluation of impacts
related to proposed GPAs. The Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project would generate
fewer than 100 a.m. or p.m. peak hour trips and would not impact a Route of Regional Significance. The project is
therefore exempt from the GMP GPA Review Process. Regardless, the DEIR was referred to TRANSPAC, the
Regional Transportation Planning Committee for Central Contra Costa County, for review and comment. No
comments were submitted.
C.
1.
Adoption of the proposed GPA will not cause the General Plan to become internally inconsistent. The General Plan
comprises an integrated, internally consistent, and compatible statement of policy governing land use in the
unincorporated areas of the county. The existing SM land use designation allows for single-family residential
development across the subject site. The proposed CC designation allows for more intense development over the
same area. Changing the land use designation from SM to CC does not affect or conflict with the policies applicable
to the site, nor does it otherwise amend the General Plan.
D.
Adoption of the proposed GPA is in the public interest. The existing SM land use designation allows for
development of approximately 112 single-family homes, and possibly up to 166 homes with a density bonus
consideration. The SM designation was applied to the subject site over 30 years ago, when demand for new housing,
particularly senior housing, was less acute. California is in the midst of a housing crisis and redesignation of the site
to CC allows for development of 354 independent living units for seniors (a 216 percent increase over the base SM
density), plus 100 assisted living units including 33 skilled nursing beds and 23 memory care units.

and a community benefits agreement. After a hearing on October 26, 2022 to consider the
Project, the County Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors not
certify the EIR and not approve the Project. Since that time, the applicant has prepared
additional materials and agreed to several Project revisions to address concerns raised by
the Commission and the public, as described below and reflected in the proposed conditions
of approval. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors certify the Project EIR and
approve the Project.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project includes the following discretionary reviews by the County:
A. General Plan Amendment: Amendment to the Land Use Map of the Land Use
Element to change the existing Single-Family Residential, Medium Density (SM)
designation of the site to a Congregate Care/Senior Housing (CC) designation.
B. Rezoning: Rezoning of the project site from the existing General Agricultural (A-2)
District to a project-specific Planned Unit (P-1) District.
C. Tentative Map: A Tentative Parcel Map to reconfigure the two existing parcels that
comprise the site from approximately 13 and 17 acres in area to 25 and 5 acres in

the health center surface parking area.
o A 20,000 square foot maintenance building.
o Approximately 375,000 cubic yards of earth moving activities resulting in a
net export of approximately 75,000 cubic yards of soil from the site.
o Access and circulation improvements consisting of an extension of Kinross
Drive and a realignment of the portions of Seven Hills Ranch Road within
the site boundaries to serve as internal access roads to all project
components.
E. Tree Permit: Tree permit to allow the removal of up to 353 trees.
III. ENVIRONMENT AND SITE DESCRIPTION
A. Environment: The project site is located in an unincorporated pocket of Walnut
Creek, in central Contra Costa County. The property is primarily surrounded by urban
land uses on all sides such as single-family residential developments, Seven Hills
School, and Heather Farm Park. A concrete-lined portion of Walnut Creek runs along
the entirety of the project site’s western boundary, and both the Iron Horse Regional
Trail and the Contra Costa Canal Trail are located within 500 feet of the property.
Major roadways such as Ygnacio Valley Road and Treat Boulevard are within one
half-mile, and Interstate 680 is located approximately one half-mile west of the
project site.
B. Site Description: The subject property is a 30.6-acre site comprised of two parcels
located along Seven Hills Ranch Road. The project site is characterized by rolling
topography that ranges from 100 to 190 feet in elevation. The majority of the site is
undeveloped, aside from an existing ranch house and outbuildings located in the
southern portion of the site. The property is lightly wooded with mature trees, most
of which can be found along the site boundaries and adjacent to the existing ranch
house. There are seasonal wetlands and perennial drainage resources that traverse
the site in an east-west direction in the central region of the site.
IV. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
The Department of Conservation and Development, Community Development Division
(CDD) determined that an EIR was required for the project and distributed a Notice of
Preparation (NOP) on July 23, 2021. The Draft EIR (DEIR) was released for public review on
March 11, 2022, and was available for public review through May 10, 2022.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 4 of 25
The Responses to Comments/Final EIR and attached appendices (collectively, FEIR) was
published and distributed on October 11, 2022. The EIR (which consists of the DEIR and
attached appendices and the FEIR) identifies potentially significant environmental impacts
that would occur if the project is implemented, and recommends feasible mitigation
measures that would reduce those impacts to less than significant levels. All mitigations are
included within the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, which describes the
timing and responsibility for monitoring compliance with all mitigation measures. All
mitigation measures are included in the recommended conditions of approval.
V. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
A. The EIR identifies environmental impacts that would occur if the Project were approved
and implemented. Potentially significant impacts that can be mitigated to less than
significant levels were identified in the EIR in the following areas: Aesthetics; Air Quality;
Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology and Soils; Hazards and Hazardous
Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Noise; and Tribal resources.
1. Aesthetics: Operation of the Project would introduce new sources of light to the area
by way of the new independent living units and the healthcare buildings on the
project site. This potentially significant impact can be mitigated to a less than
significant level.
2. Air Quality: Construction of the project has the potential for generating significant
levels of average daily ROD and NOx emissions; generating fugitive dust in the form
of PM10 and PM2.5; introducing new sources of TACs; and increasing cancer risks.
These potentially significant impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
3. Biological Resources: Construction of the Project has the potential to directly impact
and possibly result in the take of protected wildlife species, impacting riparian
woodland habitat, and temporary and permanent loss of wetland habitat. These
potentially significant impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
4. Cultural Resources: Construction of the Project has the potential for impacting
undiscovered archaeological resources and impacting buried human remains. This
potentially significant impact can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
5. Geology and Soils: Construction of the Project has the potential for exposing people
or structures to significant ground shaking, liquefaction, landslides, and expansive
soils; and impacting undiscovered paleontological resources. These potentially
significant impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials: Construction of the Project has the potential to
expose construction workers and nearby residents to asbestos-containing material,
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 5 of 25
lead-based paint, and polychlorinated biphenyls. These potentially significant
impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
7. Hydrology and Water Quality: Construction of the Project has the potential to impact
stormwater drainage systems. This potentially significant impact can be mitigated to
a less than significant level.
8. Noise: Construction and operation of the Project has the potential to generate
temporary but significant noise levels; permanent noise levels which exceed noise
and land use compatibility thresholds; and significant vibration impacts. These
potentially significant impact can be mitigated to a less than significant level.
9. Tribal Resources: Construction of the Project has the potential to impact buried tribal
cultural resources. This potentially significant impact can be mitigated to a less than
significant level.
10. Utilities and Service Systems: Construction of the associated water and sanitary sewer
line extensions, stormwater drainage tie-ins, and electricity tie-ins have the potential
for resulting in adverse environmental effects. This potentially significant impact can
be mitigated to a less than significant level.
The attached CEQA Findings summarize the environmental determinations about the
Project’s significant impacts before and after mitigation and summarizes the Project’s
individual and cumulative impacts. All mitigation measures will be implemented through
the project conditions of approval.
B. Public Comment: Multiple pieces of correspondence (letters and emails) were received
during the public comment period for the DEIR. The County also received public
comments prior to the application being deemed complete and throughout the
application review process. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act,
the County responded to those comments that raised significant environmental issues
and that were received during the public comment period for the DEIR, and those
comments are included and responded to in the Final EIR. All other comments have
likewise been reviewed and are included in the Project record of proceedings. Attached
to this report are public comments related to the Project received after the County
Planning Commission hearing.
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
A. General Plan
Land Use Type: The project site is currently located within a Single-Family Residential,
Medium Density (SM) land use designation. As part of the Project, the applicant seeks
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 6 of 25
approval of a General Plan Amendment to change the 30-acre site to a Congregate
Care/Senior Housing (CC) designation. Senior citizen congregate care housing is the sole
use explicitly listed as being allowed in the designation. However, unique criteria with
respect to the allowance of ancillary uses can be included when the designation is
adopted for the site. The Project proposes the establishment of a self-contained, State-
licensed CCRC with independent living unit and health center elements. This land use
type is substantially consistent with the allowed land use.
Density: Unlike the majority of the land use designations that fall within the same land
use category, the CC designation does not include a density range or maximum density
that would need to be maintained at the site. Therefore, there is no risk for the Project’s
independent living unit count conflicting with the General Plan.
Property Size: Unlike the majority of the land use designations that fall within the same
land use category, the CC designation does not include a property size range that would
need to be implemented at the site. Therefore, there is no potential for the proposed
parcel reconfiguration, as shown on the tentative parcel map, conflicting with the
General Plan.
Specific Area Policy: The Land Use Element of the County General Plan provides policies
for specific geographic areas of the unincorporated County. These specific area policies
focus on providing additional policies that pertain to the unique characteristics and
needs of each identified area. Pursuant to Figure 3-2 of the County General Plan, the
Project is not located within any of the identified specific policy areas.
Growth Management: The General Plan’s Growth Management Element establishes
policies for traffic levels, performance standards for fire, police, parks, sanitary services,
water services, and flood control to ensure that public facilities consistent with the
adopted standards are provided. Although largely undeveloped, the project site is
located within an urbanized area of the County and is immediately surrounded by well-
established developments. In addition, the site has been historically located within an
urban land use designation, and has been anticipated for development in long-range
planning analysis by the County and other responsible agencies. As a result of the urban
surroundings and the historical land use designation for the site, much of the public
facilities necessary to support the Project already exist and are of a capacity that can
accommodate the demand that will be created by the project.
More specifically, fire and police protection services have already been established in the
area at a level that can accommodate the project. Although infrastructure connections
to the site will be required, public water and sanitary sewer services have already been
established in the surrounding area, and can accommodate the proposed facility’s
connection and demand. With respect to parks, Heather Farm Park is located
immediately east of the site and additional outdoor recreational areas will be included
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 7 of 25
as part of the Project. Lastly, the portion of Walnut Creek adjacent to the western
property boundary of the site has already been channelized, which reduces the potential
for flood hazards at the site.
As summarized above, the Project’s location within an urbanized area of the County
combined with the historical urban land use designation creates a circumstance wherein
compliance with the policies and goals of the Growth Management Element are clear. A
more in-depth discussion of the project’s consistency with the Growth Management
Element is available in the Growth Management Element Consistency section of the
Project Findings for this staff report.
Jobs / Housing Balance: The General Plan states development applications for
commercial, light industrial, and office development of more than 10,000 square feet or
generating 25 or more jobs must address the impact of that development upon the
subregional jobs/housing balance. The proposed Project includes the construction of a
self-contained CCRC with 354 independent living units and a health center in the Walnut
Creek area of unincorporated Contra Costa County. The Central County Region had an
estimated 60,000 households and 81,000 jobs in 2015 per the Association of Bay Area
Government (ABAG) Plan Bay Area 2050. To meet the jobs/housing goals provided by
ABAG, the Central County area is anticipated to add an additional 29,000 households
and lose 7,000 jobs by 2040. The proposed Project contributes to the anticipated
jobs/housing development in the Central County subregion by providing living
accommodations for approximately 354 additional households. With respect to jobs, the
project will not contribute to the anticipated job loss. However, the anticipated full-time
equivalent of 225 jobs that will be created by the project constitutes less than a one
percent increase in the subregion’s estimated 2015 job total. Therefore, the project will
not result in a significant adverse effect on the desired jobs trend.
B. Zoning
Land Use: The project is located entirely within a General Agricultural (A-2) zoning
district, which primarily allows for agricultural uses, agriculturally related commercial
uses, and some less-intense low density residential uses. However, the existing A-2
zoning district is inconsistent with the underlying SM designation, and thus the proposed
General Plan amendment and rezoning would cure the existing inconsistency between
the subject site’s zoning and General Plan designation.
The applicant proposes to rezone the entire project site to a project-specific Planned
Unit (P-1) zoning district. As shown in Table 3-5 of the General Plan’s Land Use Element,
P-1 projects may be approved in any land use designation, but the P-1 district is the only
zoning district determined to be consistent with the proposed CC designation. If
approved, the new P-1 district would allow for flexibility of applicable development
standards necessary to accommodate the proposed unique land use, provided that
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 8 of 25
substantial consistency with the General Plan and intent of the County Ordinance Code
is maintained.
The project site is surrounded by residential-, open space-, and planned unit-zoned
properties of both the unincorporated County and City of Walnut Creek. The majority of
these properties have been developed with single- and multiple-family residences, and
associated ancillary structures and land uses. However, additional land uses such as
Seven Hills School, Heather Farm Park, and Diablo Hills Golf Course are also within the
surrounding area. Rezoning the project site to a P-1 district will establish a district that
is consistent with a CCRC use, but also allow the facility to be designed and constructed
in a manner that that is compatible with surrounding uses on both an aesthetic and
operational level. The accommodations provided via the proposed independent living
units will expand on the types of living units available in the neighboring subdivisions
along Cherry Lane, Walnut Boulevard, and Marchbanks Drive. In addition, the proposed
health center will provide medical services to residents both in and outside the CCRC
facility, as space permits. This element of the proposed facility enhances the breadth of
medical services currently provided by John Muir Hospital, which is located
approximately one half-mile southeast of the project site.
C. Facility Operation and Regulation: As proposed, the facility will be categorized and
operated as a self-contained, State-licensed continuing care retirement community.
Residents of the facility will not own any interest in or lease any of the independent units,
nor will they own land or interest in the facility as a whole. Instead, residents will enter
into a continuing care contract with the operator of the facility. This contract consists of
a promise by the facility operator to provide a range of services for a particular period
of time, in exchange for payment. In the case of the proposed facility, residents will pay
an entrance fee that is based on the size and location of the unit they choose, and a
subsequent monthly fee is paid to cover day-to-day living and medical expenses. Three
contract types will be available to residents and will offer differing levels of prepaid care,
monthly payments, and direct expense for the resident.
The proposed facility will be licensed through the California Department of Social
Services (CDSS), which is responsible for approving, monitoring, and regulating the
facility. Responsibilities of the CDSS include evaluating provider applications to
determine financial feasibility of proposed communities, ensuring specific disclosures
are included in offered continuing care contracts, and ongoing monitoring of
performance and financial conditions for the provider’s ability to fulfill contractual
obligations. Once a provider is issued a Certificate of Authority to enter into continuing
care contracts, they are required to submit annual audited financial statements and
reserve reports to the CDSS. In the event a provider is not in satisfactory financial
condition, the CDSS has the authority to take corrective measures, including the levying
of fines and seeking a court appointed administrator to take over operation of the
facility. In addition to obtaining the Certificate of Authority mentioned above, the facility
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 9 of 25
operator will also be required to obtain a residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE)
license, and a Skilled Nursing Facility License issued by the California Department of
Public Health.
D. Independent Living Units: The facility will consist of 354 independent living units, split
between 52 units housed in 30 single-story buildings and 302 units housed in a large
apartment-style building.
The single-story units will range in size from approximately 1,430 to 2,720 square feet
and consist of two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Each unit will include a private
driveway and one-car garage.
The remaining independent living units will consist of an apartment configuration within
a large building. These units will be available in one-, two-, and three-bedroom
floorplans, and will range in size between 835 and 1,580 square feet in area. Parking for
the apartment-style units will be accommodated in a 300-space parking garage located
on the first floor of the building and via surface parking along the access road
surrounding the building.
E. Health Center: The facility will also include an 85,000 square foot health center building
that will be constructed in the northeastern region of the project site. This building will
house 100 care units, including 33 skilled nursing units and 23 memory care units that
will be available to both residents of the facility and the general public (space
permitting). Health care services would be available to facility residents on a priority
basis, and to non-residents as space permits.
F. Alcohol Sales: As part of the project, the applicant is requesting approval to allow the
sale of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption within the clubhouse area of the
apartment-style building. Alcoholic beverages will be available to residents of the
facility and their guests, but not to the general public.
G. Access: The primary access to the facility would be provided at the southern region of
the site via an extension of Kinross Drive. Both construction and operational traffic will
utilize this access. This roadway extension would be constructed within an existing 50-
foot right-of-way previously dedicated to the City of Walnut Creek. If granted by the
City, the proposed Kinross Drive extension would likely require that the project sponsor
also obtain a permit from the City and enter into a perpetual maintenance agreement
with the City for privately funded maintenance of the improvements.
A formal emergency vehicle access (EVA) and gate meeting fire district standards will
be provided at the northern boundary of the site at North San Carlos Drive. Although
not required, a secondary EVA and gate will also be provided at the southern boundary
of the site where Seven Hills Ranch Road meets the site boundary.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 10 of 25
H. Applicability of Housing-Based Fees and Zoning Regulations: If approved, the proposed
facility will be an institutional use that is licensed and regulated by the State Department
of Social Services. Those living at the facility will never own or lease property at the
facility because the living units are strictly an amenity provided as part of the care
contract between future patients and the facility operator. As they are only available as
part of the State-regulated care contract and not offered as a standalone element,
County staff has determined that the independent living units are an amenity of the
institutional use and not residential units under the County Zoning Ordinance. Based
on this determination, the independent living units of the project would not be subject
to fees and other provisions of the County Ordinance that are solely applicable to
residential land uses, such as the County’s Affordable Housing (Division 822) and Park
Dedications (Division 920) ordinances.
Nevertheless, the applicant has agreed to establish and implement a financial assistance
program whereby the facility operator would establish an annuity in an initial amount
of $2,000,000 for the purpose of providing ongoing subsidies to lower- income
households that would not otherwise have the financial means to live in the facility.
Condition of Approval No. 35 provides for the annuity to assist lower-income
households and a target occupancy rate of 10% of the independent living units. The
program would prioritize Very-Low- and Lower-Income Households.
The applicant has also agreed to enter into a community benefits agreement with the
County to enhance the public benefits provided to the community, in addition to those
benefits derived directly from the Project. Specifically, the applicant has agreed to make
community benefit payments totaling $3,000,000 over ten years for, at the County’s
sole discretion, establishing or maintaining parks or trails; maintaining or beautifying
roadways, rights-of-way, or open space; or establishing, maintaining, or beautifying
other community improvements. Staff recommends that the County coordinate with
the City of Walnut Creek in the allocation and expenditure of funds received pursuant
to the proposed community benefits agreement.
I. Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA): In 1969 the State of California adopted the
Housing Element and Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) which, in part,
mandates that California cities, towns, and counties plan for the housing need of
residents regardless of their income. Under this mandate the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) determines the number of new homes
that need to be built in each city, town, or County and how affordable those residential
units need to be. As mentioned in Subsection-E above, the County has determined that
the proposed facility does not consist of a residential land use under the County Zoning
Ordinance. However, RHNA is managed by the HCD, whose criteria for defining a
housing unit is different than that used for development projects at the County level.
The HCD utilizes the census definition of a housing unit, which is as follows:
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 11 of 25
“a house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room occupied or intended
for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in
which the occupants do not live and eat with other persons in the structure and
which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a common
hall.”
Based on this definition, the independent living units of the proposed facility qualify as
units for the purposes of RHNA housing needs. Therefore, should the proposed project
be approved, the County may count the facility’s 354 independent living units towards
the County’s RHNA. However, while the facility’s independent living units may meet the
definition of a housing unit for RHNA purposes, it is prudent to assume that they will
only qualify as moderate or market rate units because, even with the addition of the
financial assistance program, there is no regulation of pricing for specific units, which is
the County’s typical approach for assuring affordability.
J. Bicycle/Pedestrian Trail Connections: As proposed, the Project will include internal
pedestrian trails allowing access to the various outdoor recreational areas planned in
the facility. However, there is no proposed direct connection to off-site bicycle or
pedestrian trails located within the Walnut Creek city limits. The City of Walnut Creek
has advised that the Transportation Element of their General Plan anticipates a bicycle
trail following the existing alignment of Seven Hills Ranch Road to connect to Heather
Farm Park. Furthermore, City staff has requested that the project provide pedestrian
and bicycle connections around the perimeter of the site and with the nearby Iron Horse
and Contra Costa Canal trails.
Because the subject property is located within the unincorporated County, the Project is
not subject to the policies and goals of the Walnut Creek General Plan or 2011 Bicycle
Plan. The project is a closed-campus CCRC, which cannot accommodate access by the
public in order to protect the safety and security of its elderly tenants. In addition, the
topography of the site adjoining the City of Walnut Creek boundary is quite steep.
Nevertheless, following close review and consultation between the applicant and staff,
the applicant has agreed to convey to the County an irrevocable offer of dedication in
fee of an approximately 2.4-acre area along the westerly site boundary adjacent to the
Walnut Creek Channel. If accepted by the County, the dedicated land would be used for
public purposes, including flood control, drainage, restoration, open space, and/or
public trails, though no project is contemplated at this time.
Additionally, staff has recommended that the Project be conditioned to require that the
applicant submit a Transportation and Parking Demand Management (TDM) Program
for review and approval, which will evaluate and identify trip reduction strategies
consisting of onsite and offsite pedestrian and bicycle improvements that are in
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 12 of 25
accordance with the Walnut Creek 2011 Bicycle Plan.
K. Traffic and Circulation: Access to the site is currently gained from Seven Hills Ranch
Road, a public road at its terminus with Walnut Boulevard that transitions to a privately
maintained road east of Walnut Boulevard as it approaches the property via a 12-foot
non-exclusive right of way.
The applicant proposes to provide primary access to the project via an extension of
Kinross Drive, located along the southeasterly site boundary. Kinross Drive is a two-lane
collector street located within the Walnut Creek city limits. The extension of Kinross Drive
would be constructed within a 50-foot right-of-way that was previously dedicated to the
City. The extension from Kinross Drive would lead to a gated internal access road that
would provide access to all project components. Per the tentative parcel map, the
proposed extension of Kinross Drive will transition as it approaches the subject site from
two-lanes to three-lanes, two lanes for ingress and one lane for egress.
In conjunction with the preparation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), a
Transportation Assessment was prepared by Fehr & Peers and peer reviewed by the
County’s consulting traffic engineer, Hexagon (EIR Appendix P). This study concluded
the Project would result in minor increases in delay at the four study intersections, but
the levels of service are expected to remain unchanged with the addition of project
related traffic.
An internal 26-foot-wide roadway system is proposed throughout the Project to provide
access to the living units, health center, and other amenities. The internal road network
includes street type connections with minimum 20-foot radius curb returns. The
applicant provided turning movements for both fire trucks and solid waste collection
vehicles. The information shows these trucks and other service vehicles will be able to
maneuver comfortably through the development. Cul-de-sac cross sections were also
provided. As shown, the curb-to-curb diameter is 80 feet. The applicant proposes a
mountable curb to satisfy Fire District requirements.
The applicant will be responsible for verifying the process of terminating or re-aligning
the non-exclusive easement, and whether neighbors and pedestrians have rights along
the easement.
Emergency vehicle access (EVA) would be provided via a gated, fire district compliant
entrance extending from the health care center to North San Carlos Drive at the north
end of the project site. The project would also improve North San Carlos Drive from the
proposed EVA gate to the Heather Farm Dog Park to meet fire district standards. A
supplemental gated EVA would also be provided from the internal access road to the
extension of Seven Hills Ranch Road at the southwest end of the site. No project
vehicular traffic would utilize either EVA for operational purposes. Except for work to
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 13 of 25
improve the EVAs and utilities running through them, and for initial access through
Seven Hills Ranch Road to construct the connection to Kinross Drive, the EVAs will not
be used for access by construction vehicles.
For pedestrian access, on-site pedestrian facilities would be installed throughout the
project site. The EVA access points located on the north and south ends of the project
site would be equipped with gates allowing pedestrian and bicycle access. If requested,
residents and employees could be provided with keycards allowing for access via these
gates.
Drainage
L. Division 914 of the County Ordinance Code requires that all storm water entering
and/or originating on this property be collected and conveyed, without diversion and
within an adequate storm drainage system, to an adequate natural watercourse having
a definable bed and banks, or to an existing adequate public storm drainage system
which conveys the storm water to an adequate natural watercourse.
A Preliminary Hydrology and Water Quality Report was included as Appendix K of the
DEIR, and has been peer reviewed by the County’s EIR consultant and the County Public
Works Department. The report includes a plan incorporating on-site detention measures
along with a detailed analysis of pre and post project conditions that indicates post-
project flows will be less than pre-project flows. Riparian corridor enhancements are also
to be incorporated into the overall drainage infrastructure proposed with this project.
Strict oversight and compliance with County Ordinance Code requirements will mitigate
potential adverse drainage impacts resulting from this project. Given that portions of the
project will drain into City of Walnut Creek stormwater facilities, those portions of the
project will be subject to compliance with the City of Walnut Creek’s Minimum Drainage
Design Standards, and will require approval by the County, the City, Contra Costa Water
District (CCWD) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBOR).
Creek Setback & Wetlands Protection
M. A portion of the project site has been identified as a wetland and is subject to protected
oversight by State and Federal agencies. This wetland area was the result of fill placed
by the flood control district in conjunction with permits from the US Army Corps of
Engineers at the time of construction of the Walnut Creek channel project
approximately 50 years ago. This area has no definable bed and bank to channelize the
minor amount of residual stormwater runoff that collects there, so it does not function
as what is defined under County Code as a natural watercourse or “creek”. Nonetheless,
it does provide valuable riparian habitat and measures to enhance it are being
incorporated into the project.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 14 of 25
In accordance with the “Wetlands” subsection of the Conservation Element of the County
General Plan, and Section 914-4.002 “Protection of Natural Watercourses” of the County
Ordinance Code, development rights encumbering the identified wetlands and any
additional setbacks as may be required by State or Federal regulatory agencies will be
deeded to the County.
Stormwater Management and Discharge Control
N. A Stormwater Control Plan (SWCP) is required for applications that will create and/or
redevelop impervious surface area exceeding 10,000 square feet in compliance with the
County’s Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance (§1014) and the
County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The Project proposes approximately 17 acres of
impervious surface which is above the threshold for requiring submittal of a SWCP. The
applicant has included a SWCP, which has been peer reviewed by the Public Works staff
and the County’s EIR consultant and deemed as preliminarily complete.
Provision C.10, Trash Load Reduction, of the County’s NPDES Permit requires control of
trash in local waterways. To prevent or remove trash loads from municipal storm drain
systems, trash capture devices shall be installed in catch basins (excludes those located
within a bioretention/stormwater treatment facility). Devices must meet the County’s
NPDES Permit and approved by Public Works Department. Location must be approved
by the Public Works Department.
Construction
O. Due to the planned off-haul of material and the construction related traffic in general,
staging areas and haul routes need to be identified. Traffic control and other restrictions
also need to be coordinated with all affected agencies. The applicant and their
contractors are responsible to clean up any spills or debris, and repair pavement or
other fixed works damaged during construction activities associated with this project.
Floodplain Management
P. The property does not lie within the Special Flood Hazard Area (100-year flood
boundary) as designated on the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood
Insurance Rate Map.
Countywide Street Light Financing
Q. The subject property is not annexed into the County lighting district. The property
owner will be required, as a condition of approval, to annex into the Community
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 15 of 25
Facilities District (CFD) 2010-1 formed for the Countywide Street Light Financing.
Sub-regional Park Maintenance Financing
R. The subject property is not annexed into the County Park Maintenance District. The
property owner will be required, as a condition of approval, to request and pay all
associated costs relative to annexation to County of Contra Costa Community Facilities
District No. 2022-1 (Contra Costa Centre Area – Park Maintenance).
Area of Benefit Fee
S. The applicant will need to comply with the requirements of the Bridge/Thoroughfare
Fee Ordinance for the Central County Area of Benefit, as adopted by the Board of
Supervisors. The fee shall be paid prior to issuance of building permits.
Drainage Area Fee and Creek Mitigation
T. A majority of the project site is located within unformed Drainage Area 44 and 65. There
is currently no fee ordinance adopted by Board of Supervisors for this area.
A small portion of the site lies within formed Drainage Area 8. The applicant will be
required to comply with the drainage fee requirements for Drainage Area 8 as adopted
by the Board of Supervisors. This fee shall be paid prior to filing of a parcel map or prior
to building permit issuance, whichever occurs first.
VII. COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION
On October 26, 2022, the County Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider
the Project. Following the public hearing, the Commission recommended that the Board of
Supervisors not certify the EIR and not approve the project. The Commission cited (A)
insufficient public benefit to support approving the requested General Plan amendment.
The Commission also recommended additional analysis of the following issues: (B) traffic
impacts specific to the CCRC use; (C) Project impacts when compared against the alternative
single-family residential development scenario; (D) the necessity of a left-turn lane from
Marchbanks Drive on to Kinross Drive; (E) the necessity of additional offsite roadway
improvements at the gated EVAs and possible EVA reconfiguration; and (F) impacts to
existing emergency evacuation routes for Seven Hills School. Lastly, in response to the
volume of public comments on the matter, the Commission also recommended that the
applicant: (G) continue to meet with the adjacent Seven Hills School, and (H) provide
additional section drawings to illustrate the Project’s aesthetic impacts. Below are brief staff
responses to the issues raised by the Commission, and the details of any actions taken or
project revisions made since the Commission hearing.
BOS – November 29, 2022

A. CPC: There is insufficient public benefit to support approving the requested General
Plan amendment. For example, the Project would not provide the community with
additional affordable housing and would not pay park dedication fees, as would an
alternative residential project on this site under the current General Plan land use
designation.
Staff Response: Staff recommends that the proposed Project and requested General
Plan amendment would be in the public interest. The proposed Project would create
354 independent living units for seniors, plus an 100-unit health care center to
provide necessary care to resident seniors and the community. The existing medium
density single-family land use designation would allow for the development of up to
166 single-family residences. The current designation has applied to the site for
more than 30 years, and dates to a time when the need for new housing, particularly
senior housing, was less acute. The proposed Project and General Plan amendments
represent a 216% increase in living units on the project site, and would provide
needed housing and services to an underserved, and growing, portion of the
County’s population.
Additionally, since the Planning Commission hearing on the Project, the applicant
has agreed to establish and implement a financial assistance program to assist lower-
income households that would not otherwise have the financial means to live in the
facility (COA #35), and to make community benefit payments to the County in the
amount of $3,000,000, for parks and other community benefit purposes (COA #36),
as described above.
B. CPC: Traffic and parking analysis should be more specific to a CCRC use, rather than
formulas utilized for assisted care facilities.
Staff Response: As mentioned in the October 1, 2021 memorandum of Fehr & Peers
included in Appendix P (Page 93) of the DEIR, Land Use Code 255 (Continuing Care
Retirement Community) of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip
Generation Manual 10th Edition, was used in the trip generation and parking analysis
for the project. The memorandum lists the ITE manual’s definition of a CCRC land
use, and confirms that it “precisely fits” the nature of the proposed facility. As such,
staff and the County’s EIR consultant determined that Land Use Code 255 was the
most appropriate for use in the project’s trip generation and parking analysis.
Furthermore, it was determined that disaggregating the individual components of
the facility for individual trip generation and parking calculations would not be
appropriate and would lead to a less accurate characterization of the project’s trip
generation and parking demand.
C. CPC: Additional comparison of the impacts from the proposed project versus those
of the “Existing General Plan Development Alternative” (single-family residences)
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 17 of 25
should be provided, particularly in the areas of grading, pollution, traffic trips, fees
paid, and patronage of surrounding businesses. Also, an analysis of whether blasting
would be needed to complete site grading to address bedrock conditions should be
conducted.
Staff Response: The EIR assumed that grading necessary for the “Existing General
Plan Development Alternative” would be similar to that needed for the proposed
project because of the site topography. Since the grading process is the most
intensive construction process and largest construction air pollutant emitter, air
quality impacts were assumed to be similar between the two alternatives due to the
need to provide adequate ingress/egress to the site and site circulation per current
roadway design standards.
Table 7.4-1 of the DEIR provides a comparison of the Daily Trips, Daily Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT), and VMT per service population, and shows that the “Existing
General Plan Development Alternative” would result in an increase in each of the
three measurements.
Depending on the type of land use, different development projects result in different
demands for public services and facilities, and are therefore subject to different fees
at numerous stages of the development process including, but not limited to, land
use permitting, construction plan review, and responsible agency permitting.
Attempting to provide this analysis for the “Existing General Plan Development
Alternative” would be speculative as the applicable fees would vary due to several
unknown factors including development footprint, residence sizes, construction
materials, and overall structural design. Nevertheless, as discussed in the EIR, a
medium density single-family housing development would have substantially
greater demands for use of public facilities and services, and would be subject to
County impact fees accordingly. As mentioned throughout this report, CEQA only
requires that alternatives analysis include enough information to allow a meaningful
evaluation and comparison with the proposed project. Providing an analysis of the
applicable fees for this alternative would go significantly beyond that threshold and
would have no bearing on the potential environmental impacts of the project.
The 3/24/20 Geotechnical Investigation Report (Baez, DEIR Appendix G), explains on
pages 3-4 and on Plate 2 that 10 test pits were excavated at depths of up to 17 feet.
The materials encountered were analyzed, laboratory tested, and categorized as
artificial fill, colluvium, alluvium, and bedrock. The bedrock was found to consist of
“well cemented, fine to coarse grained sandstone with variable amounts of silt and
gravel” with localized “minor sandy claystone beds” (localized in TP-8). The report
documents these bedrock soils as being “moderately fractured” with compressive
strengths of up to roughly 3,000 psi, allowing them to be excavated without blasting.
The equipment expected to be utilized for excavation of these materials will include
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 18 of 25
conventional scrapers, excavators, graders, and dozers. DEIR Appendix O (Illingworth
& Rodkin, Environmental Noise Assessment, 11/21/21) has taken the inclusion of this
equipment into account using the FHWA’s Roadway Construction Noise Model
(RCNM), and conservatively assumes that all of this equipment would be operating
simultaneously and at full power during a grading phase lasting for up to a year. The
impacts identified were all limited to a less than significant level with prescribed
mitigation.
D. CPC: The necessity of a left-turn lane from Marchbanks Drive on to Kinross Drive to
accommodate traffic into the site should be analyzed in further detail.
Staff Response: The maximum number of vehicles that the project would add to the
all-way stop controlled intersection at Kinross/Marchbanks Drive would result in less
than a one-second delay (see DEIR Appendix P Intersection #4, Tables 6 & 7). While
not a CEQA issue, it has also been documented in the Traffic Analysis that the
intersection would continue to operate at a well-above acceptable LOS A under both
existing plus Project and cumulative plus Project conditions. Therefore, no separate
left-turn lane is warranted or required.
E. CPC: The need for expanded offsite roadway improvements at the gated EVAs should
be analyzed (e.g., improvement up to 200 feet beyond EVA gate). Also, the gated
EVA configurations should be reevaluated for ease of access.
Staff Response: The design adequacy of the project’s gated EVA’s falls under the
purview of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD). CCCFPD has
reviewed the Project plans. Neither the CCCFPD nor the project consultants have
identified additional offsite roadway improvements necessary to accommodate the
proposed gated EVAs . It has been further confirmed in the Final EIR that all needed
improvements to the emergency access routes may be accommodated within the
footprint of the existing disturbed roadway section, thereby avoiding any additional
offsite impacts.
The proposed project design shows that the driveway extending west past the
Health Care Center and connecting to the extension of North San Carlos will be
grooved concrete where needed with a maximum rise of 20 feet over run of 120
lineal feet, for a maximum slope of 16.7% (or less than the CCCFPD standard of
20%). This plan was reviewed and approved by CCCFPD, as confirmed in its
October 21, 2020 letter to staff.
F. CPC: Potential impacts of the project on existing emergency evacuation routes for
The Seven Hills School should be evaluated.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 19 of 25
Staff Response: Design adequacy of the project’s gated EVA fall under the purview
of the CCCFPD. They have had an opportunity to review the proposed project and
have provided minimum width (20-feet), height (13 feet 6 inches), and turning radius
(45 feet) dimensions that must be met for the designated project EVA. CCCFPD staff
has advised that the proposed EVA at Seven Hills Ranch Road is not required by code
if the North San Carlos EVA is compliant. Therefore, these standards will apply to the
proposed EVA at North San Carlos Drive, and CCCFPD’s confirmation of the project’s
compliance with these standards must be provided before the facility can initiate
operation.
In addition, the project has a secondary gated access to Seven Hills Ranch Road. In
the event of an emergency affecting use of North San Carlos Drive, the school would
be able to utilize the principal project access to Kinross Drive (an evacuation route
which is currently unavailable). As noted above, the project would not utilize North
San Carlos Drive for either construction or operational traffic. Therefore, the project
would substantially improve emergency access by: (1) Making improvements to the
school’s current access route which does not now meet fire district standards; and
(2) Providing a second full fire district compliant emergency access to serve the
school.
G. CPC: The applicant should meet with representatives of Seven Hills School for further
discussion to address the School’s concerns regarding building and retaining wall
setbacks, light access, and green belt areas between land uses.
Staff Response: The applicant has advised County staff that they have reached out
to the firm representing Seven Hills School in an effort to resume negotiation efforts,
and to present the concept of an enhanced buffer between the school buildings and
the proposed adjoining one-story villa units. It is staff’s understanding that, at the
time this staff report was completed, the School has not responded to the applicant’s
outreach efforts.
Nevertheless, the applicant has agreed to reconfigure the location of one villa (Unit
#51 as shown on landscape plans) in order to provide additional buffer area and
sunlight access for one of the Seven Hills School classroom buildings. To do so, the
subject villa will be relocated to the location of the community garden and be
structurally connected to Unit #52, to create a two-unit villa building at that location.
The community garden will be relocated to the former location of Unit #51, adjacent
to the property line boundary with the School. This reconfiguration is detailed on
Sheet L-3 and Sheet L-13 of the “Revised Villa Configuration & Sections Exhibit” in
Attachment L.
The applicant has also prepared and agreed to minor revisions to the development
plans that would: (1) eliminate all retaining walls in excess of 5 feet in height along
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 20 of 25
the property line boundary with the school, and (2) provide additional landscape
improvements to facilitate a more complete and compatible separation between the
villas and the school buildings. The revised plans include detailed cross-sections with
notation of elevation levels and all proposed improvements.
H. CPC: Additional section drawings should be provided to better illustrate the
proposed retaining wall setbacks at the protected riparian area.
Staff Response: The stepped, maximum 6-foot high retaining walls located on either
side of the central perennial drainage and riparian area are detailed in the project’s
Landscape and Civil Engineering drawings. Separate section details have not been
provided due to the position of these walls well outside of the designated
jurisdictional wetlands and riparian zone shown on the plans. The distance between
these walls varies from 100 feet to well over 300 feet. The walls serve the purpose
of reducing the footprint of grading to protect wetland habitat and preserve valley
oak trees along this corridor. It should be noted that the project has been
conditioned (COA #94) to require that the property owner relinquish development
rights over the buffer area that will be required around the central drainage and
wetland area. The prohibition of structural improvements within this area will ensure
that the proposed retaining walls will be a safe distance from the sensitive riparian
habitat.
VIII. CITY OF WALNUT CREEK COMMENT LETTERS (10/26/22 & 11/15/22)
On October 26, 2022, prior to the County Planning Commission hearing on the Project, the
City of Walnut Creek provided comments on the Project and Final EIR. On November 15,
2022, the City provided additional comments on Project and the Final EIR. Both letters, as
well as the City’s May 10, 2022, comment letter on the DEIR may be found in Attachment N.
Although CEQA does not provide for a public comment period for a Final EIR, the City of
Walnut Creek is a responsible agency and thus County staff is providing responses to matters
raised in the letter. Below is a summary of City’s comments, followed by brief staff responses.
A. Comment: Additional visual simulations, beyond those provided in the EIR, should
be provided for further evaluation of potential aesthetic impacts. More specifically,
City staff requests simulations viewing the project site from adjacent private
properties within the Walnut Creek city limits.
Staff Response: As mentioned in Master Response 5 of the FEIR, the three visual
simulations provided in the EIR represent existing publicly available views of the
project site as seen from Kinross Drive, Heather Farm Park, and Cherry Lane. In
compliance with CEQA Guidelines, these simulations are most representative of
public viewpoints, and not of viewpoints from individual private properties.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 21 of 25
Despite the adequacy and accuracy of the provided the visual simulations to address
the environmental impact issues under CEQA, at the specific request of the City of
Walnut Creek, the applicant commissioned a set of five supplemental professional
visual simulations based on photographs taken from the three private streets
adjoining the easterly site boundary within the Heather Farm Townhouse
development, at the intersection of Kinross Drive and Marchbanks Drive, and along
the extension of North San Carlos Drive further to the east of the project boundary.
The supplemental photo simulations are provided in Attachment K.
B. Comment: The proposed onsite stormwater detention basin and associated 15-inch
drainage pipe within North San Carlos Drive is not the City-preferred design.
Alternate solutions previously discussed with the applicant should be explored. If
alternat solutions are infeasible, then the proposed design will require a perpetual
maintenance agreement with the City, CCWD, and USBOR.
Staff Response: The County Public Works Department has conducted a review of the
submitted drainage plan and has determined the design to be compliant with
applicable County standards. There is no requirement for an applicant to provide
alternate drainage designs for County consideration if a compliant design has
already been submitted. Based on the review by Public Works staff and the hydrology
and water quality analysis in the EIR, County staff has determined the proposed
drainage design and plans are appropriate for the Project. Alternate drainage design
plans were not provided to the County and were not considered for use in the
project. Thus conditioning the project to require analysis of the alternates is not
warranted.
As reflected in the Final EIR, the applicant has agreed to the City’s request that the
proposed storm drain line to be constructed within the extension of North San Carlos
Drive be perpetually maintained at the expense of the project. The applicant has
also advised County staff that they have met in the field with City engineering staff
and CCWD staff, and are open to considering other drainage designs as part of the
more detailed improvement plan engineering. Condition of Approval No. 90
references that storm drain infrastructure that traverses or directly discharges to
facilities within the City of Walnut Creek will be subject to compliance with the City
of Walnut Creek’s Minimum Drainage Design Standards, and that permits, plan
review, and inspections shall be coordinated with the City. Any revisions to proposed
drainage design is subject to review and approval by the County (COA#91), and may
also require additional CEQA review if the potential for additional environmental
impacts is identified.
C. Comment: The current drainage design does not demonstrate that it can detain
waters leaving the site in a manner that ensures peak post-development flow does
not exceed the pre-development conditions because the project is altering the
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 22 of 25
drainage pattern.
Staff Response: The County Public Works Department has reviewed the submitted
drainage design and associated hydrology reports for compliance with the County
ordinance and other applicable drainage standards. The Public Works Department
has provided preliminary approval of the design as the design is consistent with
applicable code and staff’s analysis shows that post-development flows will not
exceed that of the exiting site condition. Furthermore, Public Works staff is confident
that the project site is of a size wherein minor expansions to the size of proposed
detention basins can be made, if at all necessary, to ensure that all stormwater
originating on the property is collected and treated before leaving the site in
compliance with County and City standards..
D. Comment: Response #2.7 in the FEIR does not answer the questions raised in the
City’s prior comments in the DEIR.
Staff Response: No exceptions to County drainage standards have been requested
by the applicant, nor are any proposed. The County requires that all stormwater
runoff entering and originating on the property be collected and conveyed without
diversion to adequate downstream receiving waters. During the final design phase
of the project, the fine details of the drainage infrastructure improvements will be
reviewed for compliance with these requirements. In addition, conditions of
approval have been included requiring offsite improvements within the City to be
reviewed and approved by the City as part of the improvement plan engineering
phase, and prior to construction.
E. Comment: The City requests that pedestrian and bicycle connections around the
perimeter of the site be provided to facilitate future connectivity to Heather Farm
Park from the Iron Horse Trail and other locations.
Staff Response: The applicant has agreed to convey to the County an irrevocable
offer of dedication in fee of an approximately 2.4-acre area along the westerly site
boundary adjacent to the Walnut Creek Channel. If accepted by the County, the
dedicated land would be used for public purposes, including flood control, drainage,
restoration, open space, and/or public trails, though no project is contemplated at
this time. Staff has included a new recommended condition of approval (COA #71)
regarding the dedication, and Attachment P depicts the area to be offered by the
applicant for dedication.
F. Comment: The Project Alternatives section of the EIR does not fully analyze the
potential impacts of the “Roadway Redesign Alternative” versus the “New
Development Alternative”.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 23 of 25
Staff Response: CEQA requires that “the EIR shall include sufficient information about
each alternative to allow meaningful evaluation, analysis, and comparison with the
proposed project.” CEQA does not require that the impacts of a particular alternative
be compared specifically against the impacts of other alternatives.
Section 7.4.2.2 of the DEIR provides that when compared to the proposed project,
the Existing General Plan Development Alternative would result in daily trips increase
of 477 trips, Daily VMT increase of 7,394 miles, and a VMT per service population
increase of 28.6 miles. The DEIR goes on to state that the Existing General Plan
Development Alternative would result in same or similar less than significant impacts
(after mitigations) in the remaining impact areas.
The revised version of Section 7.4.2.3 of the EIR clearly indicates that the Roadway
Redesign Alternative could reduce impacts to riparian woodland and wetland habitat
on one portion of the site; but that this alternative would potentially result in
increased impacts to jurisdictional drainage and riparian habitat in the southwest
region of the site, increased impacts to tree habitat along Seven Hills Ranch Road,
and impacts from increased drainage demand. The discussion continues on to
mention that this alternative would result in the same or similar less than significant
impacts (after mitigations) related to air quality, cultural resources, geology and soils,
hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and tribal cultural resources.
The EIR is consistent with the CEQA Guidelines requirement of including sufficient
information to allow a meaningful evaluation and comparison of each alternative
with the proposed project.
G. Comment: Response #2.13 in the FEIR does not address impacts to Walnut Creek
residents from construction traffic.
Staff Response: Site grading and preparation is the phase of project construction
that has the most potential for creating construction traffic that will impact Walnut
Creek residents. This is as a result of large earth moving equipment operating at the
site and trucks removing the anticipated 75,000 cubic yards of soil and rock from the
site. However, while the maximum total combined construction period for this
project is four years, all site grading and site preparation activities will be completed
within the first nine to twelve months of construction. Therefore, after the initial
twelve months of construction, the vertical construction phase will begin and
construction traffic both on- and off-site will be significantly reduced, and
construction noise will be substantially reduced. Following completion of grading
operations, construction of the independent living units would be completed in the
next 22 months (DEIR page 24), and the Health Care Center could take up to 18
additional months thereafter. Based on this, the construction traffic impacts on
Walnut Creek residents will be significantly less than that anticipated by City staff.
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 24 of 25
Nevertheless, staff has supplemented the originally proposed COA's related to
construction impacts with additional detailed provisions that: a) further define the
necessary components of the required Traffic Control Plan, b) clarify how pavement
conditions on access routes will be monitored and restored as necessary, and c)
require consultation with the City (COA #102-105).
H. Comment: The City requests that County Park Impact Fees be imposed on the
independent living units, or that the project be conditioned to address impacts to
the City’s park facilities that such fees would otherwise be expected to address.
Staff Response: As detailed above, County staff has determined that the independent
living units are an amenity of the institutional use and not residential units under the
County Zoning Ordinance. Based on this determination, the independent living units
of the project would not be subject to fees under the Park Dedications (Division 920)
ordinance.
In addition, the Project includes extensive onsite park and recreation amenities built
for use by elderly residents and their guests including an aquatic center, multiple
dog parks, bocce courts, tennis/pickleball courts, a gardening center and walking
trails. The applicant has further offered land dedication in fee of an approximately
2.4-acre area along the westerly site boundary adjacent to the Walnut Creek Channel.
If accepted by the County, the dedicated land would be used for public purposes,
including flood control, drainage, restoration, open space, and/or public trails,
though no project is contemplated at this time.
Further, the applicant has agreed to make community benefit payments totaling
$3,000,000, which may be used to establish or maintain parks or trails, at the County’s
sole discretion. The benefits would be specific to the local community, including
areas within the unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Walnut Creek
near the Project. Staff recommends that the County coordinate with the City of
Walnut Creek in the allocation and expenditure of the community benefit payments
funds received from the applicant.
I. Comment: Roadway improvements, including protected left-turn signal phasing, are
needed at the Ygnacio Valley Rd./Marchbanks Dr.-Tampico and Ygnacio Valley
Rd./Marchbanks Dr.-La Casa Via intersections.
Staff Response: City has characterized Ygnacio Valley Road as a “High Injury
corridor”, and therefore suggested consideration of protected left-turn phasing at
Ygnacio at Marchbanks-Tampico and Ygnacio at Kinross-LaCasa (Study
Intersections 1 and 2). This issue of project traffic safety impacts is addressed in
DEIR Appendix P (Fehr & Peers, 7/21/21) on pages 18-21 (and in Tables 10 through
14), where it is explained that: (a) no fatal or severe collisions were reported for
BOS – November 29, 2022
Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project
Page 25 of 25
either intersection; and (b) these intersections have actual collision frequencies
which are far less than predicted using the modeling referenced by the City. The
report concludes that these intersections are relatively safe compared to similar
facilities nationwide. In particular, Table 13 shows that the actual per year collisions
(none of which were fatal or serious) at both intersections were each less than one-
third the level predicted for County arterial roadways using the modeling
referenced in the City’s letter. As shown in DEIR Appendix P, Table 7, the Level of
Service at these signalized intersections will not decline with the project, and will
continue to operate at Level C. Therefore, implementation of the project does not
warrant any additional improvements or modifications to these intersections.
J. Comment: Improvements within N. San Carlos cannot all be accommodated within
the ROW and will result in impacts to trees, habitat, and wetlands. Plans are also
needed to show that the EVA alignment along N. San Carlos meets the required 20-
foot minimum width and 45-foot minimum outside radius.
Staff Response: Sheet C5.0 of the submitted civil plans indicates that all proposed
sanitary sewer, water, and storm drain improvements can be accommodated within
the existing paved portions of the North San Carlos Drive right-of-way adjacent to
existing underground utilities. There are existing mature trees adjacent to the paved
roadway, which have not been proposed for removal or alteration as part of the
project. The comment mentions impacts to habitat and wetlands, which appears to
be in relation to alternate drainage designs previously discussed with the applicant.
As mentioned above in this report, the applicant has not submitted plans for the
County’s consideration of an alternate drainage design, and those alternatives are
not being considered as part of this project approval.
IX. CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors certify the environmental impact report prepared
for the Project and approve the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project.
The proposed congregate care/senior housing (CC) general plan land use designation is in the
public interest as California is in the midst of a housing crisis and redesignation to CC allows for
development of 354 independent living units for seniors, a 216% increase over the base single
family medium density land use designation. The proposed project is generally well-suited for
the site and the inclusion of health care services and community amenities in the project design
will be convenient for future residents and help this proposed new development be compatible
with surrounding neighborhoods. In addition, the proposed project and conditions of approval
have been refined to include supplemental public benefits and additional protections for
neighbors and all required findings can be made.

#CDDP20-03018, and #CDLP20-02038 (SPIEKER SENIOR CONTINUING CARE RETIREMENT
COMMUNITY)
CEQA FINDINGS
I. In General: CEQA Requirements
A. The County is the lead agency for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement
Community Project (“Project”) for purposes of environmental review. Having received,
reviewed, and considered the Project’s EIR and other relevant information in the
administrative record of proceedings, the County Board of Supervisors (“Board”) hereby
finds and adopts the following findings in compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (Cal. Gov’t Code § 21000 et seq.), the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Pub. Res.
§ 15000 et seq.), and sections of the County Ordinance pertaining to CEQA (collectively,
“CEQA”).
B. Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines section 15091, no
public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an environmental impact
report (“EIR”) has been certified, that identifies one or more significant effects on the
environment that would occur if the project is approved or carried out, unless the public
agency makes one or more findings for each of those significant impacts that is also
accompanied by a brief explanation of the rationale for each finding. The possible findings,
which must be supported by substantial evidence in the record, are as follows:
1) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that
mitigate or avoid the significant effects on the environment;
2) Those changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another
public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other agency;
3) Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including
considerations for the provision of employment opportunities for highly trained
workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the
environmental impact report;
For those impacts that cannot be mitigated below a level of significance, the public agency is
required to find that specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of
the project outweigh the significant effects of the project.
II. Procedural Recitals
A. Based on the nature and scope of the Project accompanied by substantial evidence, the
County determined that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment.
Therefore, an environmental impact report (“EIR”) was prepared, noticed, published,
Page 2 of 18
circulated, reviewed, and completed in full compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), as follows:
1) A Notice of Preparation (“NOP”) of an EIR for review and comment by responsible and
trustee agencies and other interested agencies, organizations, and individuals was
circulated by the County from July 23, 2021, through August 23, 2021.
2) A scoping session was held on August 16, 2021, at which interested agencies,
organizations, and individuals had an opportunity to submit oral and written
comments pertaining to environmental concerns related to the project and the
proposed scope of environmental review.
3) Pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 21161 and 21092, and CEQA Guidelines
sections 15085 and 15087(b), on March 11, 2022, a Notice of Completion
(“NOC”)/Notice of Availability (“NOA”) document and copies of the Draft EIR (“DEIR”)
were distributed to the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research
State Clearinghouse, those public agencies that have jurisdiction by law with respect
to the Project or that exercise authority over resources that may be affected by the
Project, and to other interested agencies, organizations and individuals as required by
applicable law. The NOC/NOA document was also mailed to all owners or property
located within 300 feet of the project site, occupants of property adjacent to the Project
Site, to others who requested notice, and the NOC/NOA was published in the East Bay
Times newspaper pursuant to applicable noticing requirements. The NOC/NOA
document stated that the County had completed the DEIR and that electronic copies
of the DEIR (including all appendices) were available for viewing and download at:
http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/SpiekerSenior and that hard copies were available at
the Department of Conservation and Development, 30 Muir Road, Martinez, CA 94553.
These documents were also available in hard copy at the Walnut Creek Library, Office
of County Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, and Office of County Supervisor Candace
Andersen.
4) The County received and evaluated numerous comments from interested public
agencies, organizations, and individuals who reviewed the DEIR. The County has
responded to all comments on the DEIR, all of which are reflected in the FEIR (as that
term is defined below).
5) The FEIR was prepared and published on October 11, 2022, and consisted of an edited
list of revisions to the DEIR and responses to comments on the DEIR. In accordance
with applicable CEQA requirements, the responses to comments address all comments
on environmental issues received during the public review and comment period for
the DEIR.
6) For purposes of these Findings, the Project EIR consists of the DEIR, the FEIR, and all
appendices attached to the DEIR and FEIR, and the remaining relevant portions of the
Page 3 of 18
administrative record for this matter. The Board finds that the Project EIR was prepared,
published, circulated, reviewed, and considered in accordance with the applicable
requirements of CEQA, and constitutes an accurate, adequate, objective, and complete
EIR. This Board has exercised its independent judgment and analysis in evaluating the
Project EIR. In exercising this judgment, this Board has reviewed and considered the
Project EIR and other relevant information in the administrative record, including,
without limitation, public testimony.
III. Impacts, Mitigation Measures, and MMRP
A. The Project EIR concludes that implementation of the Project could result in potentially
significant and adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, the County has made findings
with respect to these impacts pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15091. The findings
summarize the environmental determinations about the Project’s significant impacts
before and after mitigation and summarize the Project’s individual and cumulative
impacts.
B. This Board adopts, and incorporates as enforceable, conditions of approval of the Project,
the mitigation measures set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(“MMRP”) (see attachment), which has been prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines
section 15097. This Board adopts this MMRP as it pertains to the Project, and finds that
the mitigation measures set forth in the MMRP will reduce or avoid the potentially
significant impacts of the Project to the extent feasible for the reasons described in the
Project EIR. In the event a mitigation measure recommended in the Project EIR has
inadvertently been omitted from the MMRP, this Board hereby adopts such mitigation
measure as stated in the Project EIR and incorporates said mitigation measure in these
Findings by reference.
C. The mitigation measures as set forth in the MMRP are being made enforceable as
conditions of approval. Accordingly, changes or alterations have been required in or
incorporated into, the Project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant
environmental effects identified in the Project EIR.
IV. Project Alternatives
A. Background: In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the Project EIR contains
a comparative impact assessment of alternatives to the Project. The primary purpose of
this analysis is to provide decision makers, interested agencies, organizations, and
individuals, with information about a reasonable range of potentially feasible Project
alternatives, which could avoid or reduce any of the Project’s significant adverse
environmental effects.
B. Summary of Reasonable Range of Alternatives and Basis for Rejection: For the reasons
documented in the Project EIR and summarized below, this Board hereby rejects each of
Page 4 of 18
the alternatives and approves the Project, based on the specific legal, economic, and other
considerations that make each of the below-identified alternatives infeasible.
1) Project Objectives
• Approval of all licensing for the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC)
from the State of California Department of Social Services to provide lifetime
occupancy and support services for project residents.
• Combine independent living, assisted living, and nursing services as a complete
and sustainable living arrangement for lifetime occupancy by community residents.
• Provide progressive care services for CCRC residents from independent living units
with associated amenities and dining options to assisted living, skilled nursing, and
memory support.
• Create a high-quality CCRC living environment with a wide range of quality
amenities and services for persons aged 60 years and over, with a sufficient number
of independent living units to support those amenities and services.
• Design, build, and operate a high-quality CCRC on an infill site, to be compatible
with the surrounding community, and consistent with State standards.
• Contribute to greater livability for senior citizens by incorporating the following
design and planning principles: safety and security, recreation and cultural
activities, walkability/accessibility, onsite management and care, and
transportation, including shuttle service to local restaurants, shopping, and health
services.
• Offer a retirement community option not currently provided in Contra Costa
County, which includes a comprehensive program and campus to allow potential
residents and family members to plan for retirement.
• Provide an onsite health care center licensed to provide assisted living, skilled
nursing services, and memory support to residents of the CCRC, and to
nonresidents as space permits.
2) Summary of Alternatives Evaluated
• No Project Alternative: Under this alternative, the Project would not be constructed,
and the project site would remain in its current condition, with the existing building
reoccupied. There also would be no enhancement of the perennial drainage and
wetland areas in the central portion of the project site.
• Existing General Plan Development Alternative: Under this alternative, the subject
property is redeveloped in a manner that is consistent with the existing Single-
Family Residential, Medium Density (SM) General Plan designation. Under this
designation a residential density between 3.0 and 4.9 single-family dwelling units
per acre would be allowed. With consideration of an additional 15 percent density
as provided for under the County’s Affordable Housing Ordinance, approximately
166 single-family residential units could be constructed at the site. Based on this
Page 5 of 18
anticipated unit count, an estimated 482 residents would be housed in the
development.
• Roadway Redesign Project: Under this alternative, the Project’s extension of Kinross
Drive at the southern boundary would be removed and the main entrance to the
project site would be relocated to Seven Hills Ranch Road. Currently Seven Hills
Ranch Road between Walnut Boulevard and the project site is approximately 17-
feet wide with no markings or sidewalks, and thus would need to be widened to a
50-foot right-of-way to accommodate the required 33-foot curb-to-curb roadway
and 6-foot sidewalks. To accomplish this the project sponsor would need to
procure portions of the adjacent private land on either side of Seven Hills Ranch
Road. All other aspects of the proposed project would remain the same, including
the land use totals, location of internal access roads, and the location and design
of proposed buildings.
3) Alternatives Rejected from Further Consideration: In addition to the alternatives
described above, one additional alternative was initially considered, but rejected from
further consideration for the reasons summarized below.
• Location Alternative: The CEQA Guidelines encourage consideration of an
alternative site where significant effects of the project may be avoided or
substantially lessened. Only alternate locations that would avoid or substantially
lessen impacts, and meet most of the project objectives need to be considered. For
the Project, it is assumed that a location alternative would need to be: 1)
approximately 30 acres in size; 2) located in central Contra Costa County; 3) located
on an infill site; served by available infrastructure and adjacent commercial
amenities; and 4) immediately available. There are multiple sites in Contra Costa
County that are similar in size and that would qualify as infill sites. However,
location alternatives were rejected because the potentially suitable sites would not
reduce the construction noise impacts related to the Project’s size, duration of
construction, and proximity of nearby sensitive receptors. Additionally, the
construction-related criteria air pollutant impacts would also not be lessened
because construction would also occur on these sites in a similar manner. Lastly,
these sites are not controlled by the applicant.
PROJECT FINDINGS
V. General Plan Consistency
A. Overall General Plan Consistency
The County General Plan consists of nine separate elements, all of which may play a role
in determining a project’s consistency with the overall document. Project characteristics
such as location, duration, and type all play a role in which elements, policies, goals, and
Page 6 of 18
implementation measures are applicable in aiding County staff and the public analyze a
project’s consistency with the overall document.
The project consists of constructing a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) on a
largely undeveloped site in an urban area of Central Contra Costa County. Because this is
a development project, the Land Use Element and Growth Management Elements play a
primary role in determining consistency. With the underutilized condition of the property
and its substantially developed surroundings, the Transportation and Circulation, and
Conservation Elements are also closely analyzed. Lastly, the anticipated 4-year
construction duration combined with the proximity of sensitive land uses such as a school
and residential developments warrants in-depth analysis of the General Plan’s Noise
Element. Despite the importance and applicability of policies and goals within the
elements mentioned above, each of the nine General Plan Elements were considered
during staff’s review of the project. Consistency with policies and goals of the Land Use
and Growth Management elements are summarized below, but a more detailed discussion
of the project’s consistency with the applicable policies and goals of each General Plan
Element is provided in the Regulatory Framework and Impact Discussion sections of the
DEIR, and also within the text of Master Resonse-1 of the FEIR.
B. Land Use Element Consistency
1) The project will implement and promote the following Land Use Element goals.
i. To coordinate land use with circulation, development of other infrastructure
facilities, and protection of agriculture and open space, and to allow growth and
the maintenance of the county's quality of life. In such an environment, all
residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, and agricultural activities may take
place in safety, harmony, and to mutual advantage. (3-A)
ii. To provide opportunities for increasing the participation of Contra Costa County
in the economic and cultural growth of the region, and to contribute to, as well as
benefit from, the continued growth in importance of the Bay Region and the State
of California. (3-B)
iii. To encourage aesthetically and functionally compatible development, which
reinforces the physical character and desired images of the county. (3-C)
iv. To provide for a range and distribution of land uses that serve all social and
economic segments of the county and its subregions. (3-D)
v. To permit urban development only in locations of the county within identified
outer boundaries of urban development where public service delivery systems that
meet applicable performance standards are provided or committed. (3-F)
Page 7 of 18
vi. To coordinate effectively the land use policies of the County General Plan with
those plans adopted by the cities and special service districts. (3-I)
vii. To encourage a development pattern that promotes the individuality and unique
character of each community in the county. (3-J)
viii. As feasible, areas experiencing rapid urban growth shall be developed so as to
provide a balance of new residential and employment opportunities. (3-3)
ix. New development within unincorporated areas of the county may be approved,
providing growth management standards and criteria are met or can be assured
of being met prior to issuance of building permits in accordance with the Growth
Management Program. (3-5)
x. Development of all urban uses shall be coordinated with provision of essential
community services or facilities including, but not limited to, roads, law
enforcement and fire protection services, schools, parks, sanitary facilities, water,
and flood control. (3-6)
xi. Infilling of already developed areas shall be encouraged. Proposals that would
prematurely extend development into areas lacking requisite services, facilities,
and infrastructure shall be opposed. In accommodating new development,
preference shall generally be given to vacant or underused sites within urbanized
areas, which have necessary utilities installed with available remaining capacity,
before undeveloped suburban lands are utilized. (3-8)
xii. Flexibility in the design of projects shall be encouraged in order to enhance scenic
qualities and provide for a varied development pattern. (3-18)
xiii. Existing residential neighborhoods shall be protected from incompatible land uses
and traffic levels exceeding adopted service standards. (3-27)
2) The facility will be located within a Congregate Care/Senior Housing (CC) General Plan
land use designation, which is the only designation that allows for such a use. Unlike
the other land use designations categorized as residential in the Land Use element,
the CC designation does not include standards for development characteristics such
as unit density, population density, building height, or lot size. Instead, each CC land
use designation is adopted with criteria that is unique to and based upon the individual
project site. Since the project site is currently within an SM designation and will be
designated as CC under the current modification to the General Plan Land Use Map,
there is no potential for the project conflicting with pre-existing development
standards established under a previously adopted CC designation.
Page 8 of 18
C. Growth Management Element Consistency
The purpose of the Growth Management Element is to establish policies and standards for
traffic levels of service and performance standards for fire, police, parks, sanitary facilities,
water, and flood control to ensure generally that public facilities consistent with adopted
standards are provided.
1) Traffic: The Project is located within an urban area of the County with existing paved
roadways and traffic control measures such as traffic signals, street signs, and
roadway markings. With construction of the Kinross Drive extension, adequate access
to and from the site will be available via public collector and arterial roadways such
as Marchbanks Drive and Ygnacio Valley Road. As discussed in more detail in the
project EIR, six roadway intersections in the area of the project site were analyzed
and it was found that none of the studied intersections’ performance would drop a
Level of Service grade or experience an additional delay greater than five seconds.
2) Water: The County must determine if capacity exists within the existing water system
to support the project. The County’s determination on this matter is largely based
on information made available from consultation with the responsible water agency,
the applicant, and other sources. Available data indicates that the Contra Costa
Water District (CCWD) would have approximately 700 acre-feet of excess water for
the year three multiple-dry year scenario, and up to approximately 69,300 acre-feet
of excess water for the average year scenario, both through 2035. The project’s total
water demand was estimated at approximately 128 acre-feet per year. Therefore, the
additional water demand created by the project could be accommodated by CCWD.
3) Sanitary Sewer: The County must determine if capacity exists within the existing
sanitary sewer system to support the project. The County’s determination on this
matter is largely based on information made available from consultation with the
responsible sewer agency, the applicant, and other sources. The Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District (CCCSD) provides wastewater services to the project site. CCCSD’s
treatment plant currently has a treatment capacity of 54 million gallons per day, and
currently treats an average of approximately 34 million gallons of wastewater per
day. The Project has been anticipated at generating a net increase in wastewater
treatment demand of approximately 97,486 gallons per day, which is only 0.5 percent
of the treatment plant’s available capacity of 20 million gallons per day.
4) Fire: The Growth Management Element requires that a fire station be located within
1.5 miles of all developments in urban areas. The Project is consistent with this
standard as Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Fire Station No. 1 is located
approximately 1.5 miles southwest of the site at 1330 Civic Drive. Furthermore, the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has had an opportunity to review the
project and there has been no indication that additional or expanded fire station
facilities would be necessary to support the Project.
Page 9 of 18
5) Police: The Growth Management Element requires that the standard of having 155
square feet of Sheriff station area and support facilities per 1,000 members of the
population, be maintained in the unincorporated County. It is anticipated that the
CCRC will accommodate approximately 560 residents, which is well below the 1,000-
person threshold. Therefore, no expansion of the Valley Station would be required
to maintain consistency with the station area standard. Furthermore, the County
Sheriff was provided an opportunity to review the Project and there has been no
indication that additional or expanded Sheriff station facilities would be necessary to
accommodate the Project.
6) Parks: The Growth Management Element requires that the standard of having 3 acres
of neighborhood parks per 1,000 members of the population, be maintained in the
unincorporated County. It is anticipated that the CCRC facility will accommodate
approximately 560 residents, which would require that approximately 1.6 acres of
neighborhood parks be provided to serve the increased demand created by the
Project. The applicant is not proposing new park facilities as part of the Project, but
the Project includes extensive onsite park and recreation amenities built for use by
elderly residents and their guests including an aquatic center, multiple dog parks,
bocce courts, tennis/pickleball courts, a gardening center and walking trails. These
areas account for approximately 2.9 acres of designated outdoor recreational area
for the residents of the facility, which exceed the 1.6 acres required for consistency
with the Growth Management Element standard. The applicant has further offered
to the County a land dedication in fee of an approximately 2.4-acre area along the
westerly site boundary adjacent to the Walnut Creek Channel. If accepted by the
County, the dedicated land would be used for public purposes, including flood
control, drainage, restoration, open space, and/or public trails, though no project is
contemplated at this time.
D. General Plan Map Amendment
1) Required Finding: Is adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment consistent
with the provisions of the County’s Urban Limit Line as outlined in Measure L-2006?
Project Finding: Adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment (GPA) is
consistent with the provisions of the Urban Limit Line (ULL). No change to the ULL
would occur and the Project does not require extension of urban services beyond the
ULL. The subject site is located inside the ULL, and therefore may be developed with
“urban” and “non-urban” uses, as defined in the 2005-2020 Contra Costa County
General Plan. The proposed land use designation, Congregate Care (CC), is urban.
2) Required Finding: Would adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment result
in a violation of the County’s 65/35 Land Preservation Standard?
Page 10 of 18
Project Finding: Adoption of the proposed GPA will not result in a violation of the 65/35
Land Preservation Standard (the “65/35 Standard”), established through voter
adoption of Measure C-1990 and reaffirmed through adoption of Measure L-2006.
Under the 65/35 Standard, no more than 35 percent of the land in the county may be
developed with urban uses and at least 65 percent of the land must be preserved for
non-urban uses such as agriculture, open space, parks, wetlands, etc. The existing land
use designation for the subject site, Single-Family Residential Medium Density (SM), is
an urban land use designation. No non-urban land use designations are present on-
site. The proposed CC land use designation is also an urban designation. Therefore,
the percentage of land with urban and non-urban designations will not change as a
result of the GPA.
3) Required Finding: Is adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment compliant
with the provisions of Measure J-2004, the Contra Costa Growth Management
Program, and related Contra Costa Transportation Authority resolutions?
Project Finding: The Project complies with the objectives and requirements of Measure
J-2004, the Contra Costa Growth Management Program (GMP), and related Contra
Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) resolutions. The CCTA GMP Implementation
Guide (2021) sets forth procedures for local agency consultation and evaluation of
impacts related to proposed GPAs. The Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement
Community Project would generate fewer than 100 a.m. or p.m. peak hour trips and
would not impact a Route of Regional Significance. The project is therefore exempt
from the GMP GPA Review Process. Regardless, the DEIR was referred to TRANSPAC,
the Regional Transportation Planning Committee for Central Contra Costa County, for
review and comment. No comments were submitted.
4) Required Finding: Would adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment cause
the General Plan to become internally inconsistent, in violation of Government Code
Section 65300.5?
Project Finding: Adoption of the proposed GPA will not cause the General Plan to
become internally inconsistent. The General Plan comprises an integrated, internally
consistent, and compatible statement of policy governing land use in the
unincorporated areas of the county. The existing SM land use designation allows for
single-family residential development across the subject site. The proposed CC
designation allows for more intense development over the same area. Changing the
land use designation from SM to CC does not affect or conflict with the policies
applicable to the site, nor does it otherwise amend the General Plan.
Page 11 of 18
5) Required Finding: Would adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment be in
the public interest, as required under Government Code Section 65358(a)?
Project Finding: Adoption of the proposed GPA is in the public interest. The existing
SM land use designation allows for development of approximately 112 single-family
homes, and possibly up to 166 homes with a density bonus consideration. The SM
designation was applied to the subject site over 30 years ago, when demand for new
housing, particularly senior housing, was less acute. California is in the midst of a
housing crisis and redesignation of the site to CC allows for development of 354
independent living units for seniors (a 216 percent increase over the base SM density),
plus 100 assisted living units, including 33 skilled nursing beds and 23 memory care
units. The additional housing and associate services provided by the proposed Project
are in the public interest.
Additionally, the applicant has agreed to provide additional public benefits beyond
those benefits derived directly from the Project. The applicant has agreed to establish
and implement a financial assistance program whereby the facility operator would
establish an annuity in an initial amount of $2,000,000 for the purpose of providing
ongoing subsidies to lower-income households that would not otherwise have the
financial means to live in the facility. The subsidies will assist lower-income households
with a program target occupancy rate of 10% of the independent living units. The
program would prioritize Very-Low- and Lower-Income Households.
The applicant has also agreed to enter into a community benefits agreement with the
County whereby the applicant will make community benefit payments totaling
$3,000,000 over ten years for, at the County’s sole discretion, establishing or
maintaining parks or trails; maintaining or beautifying roadways, rights-of-way, or
open space; or establishing, maintaining, or beautifying other community
improvements.
6) Required Finding: Would adoption of the proposed General Plan Amendment result
in an exceedance of the annual limit on amendments specified under Government
Code Section 65358(b)?
Project Finding: The mandatory elements of the General Plan may be amended up to
four times each calendar year. The proposed GPA affects the Land Use Element, a
mandatory element, and is the fourth amendment to that element for 2022.
VI. Rezoning Findings
A. Required Finding: The change proposed will substantially comply with the General Plan
Project Finding: The project-specific P-1 zoning district will allow for the construction of a
self-contained CCRC consisting of 354 independent living units for residents, a 100-unit
Page 12 of 18
health center, maintenance building, and associated indoor and outdoor amenities. The
facility will be located within a Congregate Care-Senior Housing (CC) land use designation,
which is very restrictive in that it only allows for the establishment of senior housing land
uses. Additionally, the associated project-specific P-1 district and project conditions of
approval identify and restrict the ancillary uses and amenities allowed as part of the facility
(e.g., clubhouse, swimming pool, alcohol sales, tennis courts) to ensure continued
consistency with the General Plan.
B. Required Finding: The uses authorized or proposed in the land use district are
compatible within the district, and to uses authorized in adjacent districts.
Project Finding: All of the uses authorized within the district are compatible with others in
the district because they are all interdependent in the overall goal of providing long-term
care to seniors. The primary elements of the facility are very codependent in that the
seniors entering into a care contract with the facility operator rely on living
accommodations nearby the health center. Having living accommodations and health care
services in close proximity to each other improves ease and convenience in obtaining care
when needed. The maintenance building provides facilities for laundry, trash collection,
HVAC control, and overall site maintenance services that are vital for the successful daily
operation of the facility.
The project is also compatible with the single-and multi-family residential uses in the
adjacent County and city zoning districts. The independent living units of the facility will
function similarly to the residences on adjacent properties by providing living
accommodations for County residents. Additionally, the health center will provide long-
term medical care to residents in the area, similarly to how medical services are provided
to the surrounding community by the nearby John Muir Medical Center.
C. Required Finding: Community need has been demonstrated for the use proposed, but
this does not require demonstration of future financial success.
Project Finding: The Housing Element of the County General Plan indicates that
approximately 13.9 percent of the total population in unincorporated Contra Costa County
is comprised of seniors (persons 65 years and older). Furthermore, nationwide population
trends indicate that as the baby boom generation ages, the demand for specialized
developments such as assisted living or active adult communities will grow. These
development types are designed and typically better suited to address some of the
primary concerns of senior households such as limited income, physical
disabilities/limitations, and limited income. As proposed, the facility will consist of a health
care facility and independent living units all in one development, which creates a
convenient circumstance for residents wherein health care services are readily available in
proximity to their place of residence. Furthermore, facility residents sign a care contract
with the facility operator, which allows seniors the option of securing long-term health
care at a pre-determined or more predictable cost.
Page 13 of 18
VII. Planned Unit (P-1) District Findings
A. Required Finding: The applicant intends to start construction within two and one-half years
from effective date of zoning change and plan approval.
Project Finding: Representatives of the project sponsor have conveyed an intent to start
construction as quickly as feasible, and within two years of the effective date of the
entitlement approvals. However, the anticipated construction date is subject to obtaining
all necessary approvals from the City of Walnut Creek and other responsible agencies.
B. Required Finding: The proposed planned unit development is consistent with the County
General Plan.
This development project has been through an in-depth review process that involved the
review and participation of various County departments and divisions that coordinate with
the Department of Conservation and Development to implement the General Plan.
Advance planning staff of the CDD provided assistance in reviewing the proposed
development to ensure that the project is consistent with long-range goals and policies
detailed in the Land Use and Growth Management Elements. A more in-depth discussion
of the project’s consistency with the General Plan is provided in the General Plan
Consistency portion of these findings and also within the impact discussions of the DEIR
and Master Response-1 section of the FEIR.
C. Required Finding: In the case of residential development, it will constitute a residential
environment of sustained desirability and stability and will be in harmony with the
character of the surrounding neighborhood and community.
Project Finding: The project does not include a residential element.
D. Required Finding: In the case of the commercial development, it is needed at the proposed
location to provide adequate commercial facilities of the type proposed, and that traffic
congestion will not likely be created by the proposed center, or will be obviated by
presently projected improvements and by demonstrable provisions in the plan for proper
entrances and exits, and by internal provisions for traffic and parking, and that the
development will be an attractive and efficient center which will fit harmoniously into and
will have no adverse effects upon the adjacent or surrounding development.
Project Finding: There is a growing senior population in Central Contra Costa County,
which mostly comprised of homeowners living in single-family homes. As this population
ages, the demand for downsized housing or specialized housing has resulted in an
increased demand for specialized services and accommodations for those senior
households. More specifically, there is an increased need for health care on a long-term
basis and that is at a more predictable cost.
Page 14 of 18
The facility will consist of an internal circulation system comprised of internal roads,
sidewalks, and pedestrian trails providing access to all primary elements and
amenities of the development. Both on- and off-street parking will be provided for
residents and their guests, and shuttle services will be available to limited off-site
locations.
E. Required Finding: In the case of proposed industrial development, it is fully in conformity
with the applicable performance standards, and will constitute an efficient and well-
organized development, with adequate provisions for railroad and/or truck access service
and necessary storage, and that such development will have no adverse effect upon
adjacent or surrounding development.
Project Finding: The project does not include an industrial element.
F. Required Finding: The development of a harmonious, integrated plan justifies exceptions
from the normal application of this code.
Project Finding: Pursuant to the Land Use Element of the County General Plan, the CC land
use designation is the only designation in which a CCRC use is allowed. Furthermore, Table
3-5 (“Consistency Between the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance”) identifies the P-1
district as the only zoning district that is consistent with the CC designation. The Project
EIR provides detailed discussion of the site’s steep slopes and existing sensitive biological
resources that limit development areas at the site and that require the use of multiple
strategic design and engineering techniques such as tiered retaining walls and bridge
crossings. When the existing site challenges are considered in conjunction with the
quantity and quality of buildings, infrastructure, and amenities necessary to operate a
high-quality CCRC, it is clear that flexibility from the normal application of the zoning code
is required.
VIII.Tentative Map Findings
A. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall not approve a tentative map unless it shall
find that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and
improvement is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans required by law.
Project Finding: The Project’s tentative map application has been reviewed along with all
other submitted plans for compliance with applicable regulations in effect on the date
the application was deemed complete. The development shown on the tentative map, as
a whole, is consistent with the General Plan as explained in further detail in the project
EIR and the General Plan Consistency section of these findings. There is no specific plan
that covers the Project Site.
Page 15 of 18
B. Required Finding: The advisory agency shall make findings as required concerning the
fulfillment of construction requirements
Project Finding: All structures within the facility will be subject to building codes in effect
at the time the permits are issued. Compliance with and implementation of these building
codes will be enforced via building plan check and field inspections administered by staff
of the County Building Inspection Division. The tentative map has been conditioned to
require the undergrounding of all new and existing utility distributions within the 30-acre
Development area. Lastly, the project has been conditioned in a manner that requires the
Applicant to complete most of the construction requirements (i.e. roadway improvements,
drainage improvements, utility extensions) prior to issuance of building permits.
IX. Land Use Permit Findings (Alcohol Sales)
A. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not be detrimental to the health, safety, and
general welfare of the County.
Project Finding: The applicant proposes to sell alcohol as one of the services provided at
the clubhouse located within the large apartment-style building. The manner in which the
alcoholic beverages are stored, served, and sold will be monitored and managed by
agencies such as the Contra Costa Health Services Department, which significantly reduces
the potential for health hazards. In addition, the facility operator will be required to obtain
and maintain a license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, who
administer and enforce compliance with the provisions of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act. As conditioned, the sale of alcohol withing the clubhouse will be administered in
compliance with the standards of the local and State agencies listed above, which would
in turn ensure that the proposed activity will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and
general welfare of the County.
B. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not adversely affect the orderly development
of property in the County
Project Finding: Granting a land use permit to allow alcohol sales at the facility will only
impact the manner in which the subject facility is operated. Alcohol sales will only be
available in the clubhouse area of the subject property, and only to the residents and their
guests. The granting of this land use permit does not allow alcohol sales on any other
parcel within the County, and does not impact the manner in which any other existing
alcohol sales activities in the County is administered. Based on the above, there is no
evidence in the record indicating that the allowance of alcohol sales at the site will
adversely affect the orderly development of property at the site.
Page 16 of 18
C. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not adversely affect the preservation of
property values and the protection of the tax base within the County
Project Finding: The alcohol sales element of the CCRC facility will be secondary in nature
and is not necessary for the daily operation of the facility. All alcohol sales will be
administered in-doors and will be undetectable from outside both the apartment-style
building and facility as a whole. Additionally, access to the clubhouse will be limited to
residents of the facility and their guests, and not available to the general public at any
time. Because the sale of alcohol makes up such a small portion of the services provided
at the site and will be undetectable from outside the facility, there is little to no potential
for the sale of alcohol to adversely affect the preservation of property values and the
protection of the tax base within the County.
D. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not adversely affect the policy and goals as
set by the General Plan.
Project Finding: By granting this land use permit, the County will allow the sale of alcohol
within the clubhouse as an ancillary activity of the CCRC facility. The subject property will
be located within a P-1 zoning district and CC General Plan Land Use designation, which
are both project-oriented and relatively flexible with respect to the uses that are allowed
on properties within their boundaries. The primary activities taking place at the facility will
be associated with providing regular assistance and medical care for seniors, which are
consistent with applicable policies and goals of the General Plan as discussed in the EIR.
Alcohol sales will be a minor element of the use that will be subject to compliance with
regulations of both Contra Costa County and the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control. The combination of being only a minor element of the overall land use, being
available only to residents of the facility and their guests, and applicability of State and
County regulations will ensure that any alcohol sales activities taking place at the facility
will not adversely affect the policy and goals as set by the General plan.
E. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not create a nuisance and/or enforcement
problem within the neighborhood or community
Project Finding: Alcohol sales will only be permitted to take place in the clubhouse area of
the apartment-style building and will be essentially undetectable from adjacent properties.
Alcohol will only be available for consumption onsite in the clubhouse area, and only to
residents of the facility and their guests. Furthermore, residency within the facility is limited
to seniors, and thus it can be reasonable assumed that the potential for nuisance issues
related to alcohol consumption are further reduced when compared to that of an
establishment that allows the sale of alcohol to patrons of all ages.
Page 17 of 18
F. Required Finding: The proposed project shall not encourage marginal development
Project Finding: Allowing alcohol sales at the facility will provide an added amenity and
source of recreation for residents of the facility and their guests. The sale of alcohol at the
facility will not be available to the general public, and thus there is a very limited
population that will be served. The allowance of alcohol sales for onsite consumption in
itself will not create a significant increase in employment, development, or business
opportunities within the County beyond that which is being created by the CCRC facility
as a whole.
G. Required Finding: That special conditions or unique characteristics of the subject property
and its location or surroundings are established
Project Finding: Although the project site is predominantly surrounded by residential
properties, the alcohol sales will take place in the clubhouse area of the facility and will be
inaccessible and undetectable to the general public. Additionally, the facility operator will
be subject to permitting requirements and restrictions administered by the State
Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. This added level of state licensing and guidelines
will ensure that alcohol sales taking place at the site are administered in a manner that is
compatible with and that does not adversely impact the general welfare of the surrounding
neighborhood.
X. Alcoholic Beverage Sales Commercial Activity Findings
A. Required Finding: A finding of "public convenience and necessity" (Business and
Professions Code Section 23958.4(b)(2)), if the activity will be located in an area that has
been determined by the state of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to
have an undue concentration of licenses as defined in Business and Professions Code
Section 23958.4(a). On September 1, 2022, the California Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control determined that the activity would be located in an area with an undue
concentration of licenses. Therefore, a finding of public convenience and necessity is
required for this project.
Project Finding: There are various restaurants and other eating establishments in the
vicinity of the project site where residents of the facility could potentially enjoy an alcoholic
beverage with a meal or simply as part of a social outing. However, the residents of the
CCRC will be seniors aged 60 and up, some of whom will likely have mobility and/or
transportation limitations that make it more difficult to visit establishments outside the
facility that also have permitted alcohol sales. By allowing alcohol sales within the facility,
residents have easy access to this amenity in close proximity to where they live.
Additionally, the service will be provided by employees of the facility who have a better
understanding of the unique demands and needs of this unique population.
Page 18 of 18
B. Required Finding: The alcohol beverage sales commercial activity will not aggravate
existing problems in the neighborhood created by the sale of alcohol such as loitering,
public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise, and littering.
Project Finding: The subject property is located within a predominantly residential
community in unincorporated Walnut Creek, which significantly limits the potential for
existing nuisance issues related to existing alcohol sales. Alcoholic beverages are available
at The Greenery Restaurant and Sports bar, which is located approximately 0.3 miles south
of the project site at the Diablo Hills Golf Course. However, the Greenery’s location within
an existing residential neighborhood and the fact that it is secondary in nature to the golf
course land use, greatly reduces the potential for nuisance issues typically associated with
establishments where the primary service is the sale of alcohol.
Alcoholic beverages sold at the CCRC facility will only be available to facility residents and
their guests, which greatly reduces the potential for sales to minors. Additionally, alcohol
sales will only be available in the clubhouse area of the facility, which is not accessible to
the general public. This location within a gated facility reduces the potential for loitering,
public drunkenness, littering, and noise impacts to surrounding properties. Lastly, all
alcohol sales at the facility will be subject to permitting by the State Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control, which has long-established guidelines designed to reduce the
potential for the nuisance concerns that are the subject of this discussion.
XI. Tree Permit Findings
A. Reasonable development of the property would require removal and/or work within the
dripline of code-protected trees, and this development could not be reasonably
accommodated on another area of the lot.
B. Where the arborist or forester report has been required, the Deputy Director for the
Community Development Division is satisfied that the issuance of a permit will not
negatively affect the sustainability of the resource.

24 months shall be to have the Applicant arrange for the consulting arborist to inspect all
required replacement trees and to prepare a report on the trees’ health. In the event the
Page 6 of 32
CDD determines that the required replacement trees have been damaged or have died,
then the CDD may require that all or part of the security be used to provide for
replacement of the dead or damaged tree(s).
f. Integration with Final Landscape Plan: The tree restitution planting and irrigation plans
described in Subsection(a) above may be incorporated as part of the “Final Landscape
Plan” required below. However, the integrated plan shall identify each designated
replacement tree required to replace removed trees, and that are intended to satisfy this
condition. The estimate required pursuant to Subsection-(a) above shall only cover
materials and labor associated with the implementation of the required tree restitution,
and not the full Final Landscape Plan.
25. Prior to grading, trenching, filling, or any other ground disturbing activity within the
dripline of any tree identified for preservation, the applicant shall provide an arborist
report detailing measures to be implemented during construction activities to ensure the
continued vitality of the tree.

Financial Assistance Program for Independent Living Units
35. The applicant has agreed to establish and implement a financial assistance program (the
“Program”) for the independent living units proposed as part of the Project. The Program
will include the following components:
A. The facility operator will establish an annuity for the purpose of providing ongoing
subsidies to lower-income households that would not otherwise have the financial
means to live in the facility. The facility operator will fund the annuity by depositing,
concurrently with issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Project’s first
independent living unit, $2,000,000 into a separate account established solely for this
purpose. The facility operator will provide monthly fee subsidies to Program
participants utilizing funds from the annuity. Prior to occupancy of any independent
living units, the County and the applicant or facility operator will establish specific
administrative guidelines covering the use and investment of the annuity which shall
serve to implement the following Program objectives:
1. The facility operator will use commercial best efforts to market independent
living units and the Program to lower-income households and provide
monthly fee subsidies to Program participants, with a target occupancy rate
of 10% of the Project’s independent living units.
2. The Program shall be designed to be available and utilized for a period of
20 years from the first deposit into the annuity account.
3. The annuity shall retain any accrued interest. The applicant or facility
operator will use best business practices in investment of the annuity
funds.
Page 9 of 32
B. The facility operator will operate the Program to comply with the following
standards:
1. Residents participating in the Program shall reside in independent living
apartments dispersed throughout the facility and have access to all on-site
amenities that are available to residents not participating in the Program.
2. The construction quality and exterior design of the independent living units
occupied by Program participants must be comparable to those of similar
units occupied by residents not participating in the Program.
C. Annually, the facility operator will provide the County a report detailing the use
and accounting of the annuity, the number of Program participants that the facility
operator has admitted under the Program during the previous calendar year, the
annual incomes of the participant households, and the annual incomes of other
households that may be qualified as Moderate-, Lower- or Very Low-Income
Households. In the event the facility operator fails to meet the targets set forth in
Section A, the facility operator will provide the County a written plan for meeting
those targets in the future.
D. The facility operator will be solely responsible for marketing the Program to
qualified households. When feasible, the facility operator will grant priority
preference to Program applicants as follows:
1. Households qualified as Very Low-Income Households, as defined in
Government Code section 50105.
2. Households qualified as Lower-Income Households, as defined in
Government Code section 50079.5.
3. Households then currently residing in Contra Costa County.
4. Households no longer residing in Contra Costa County, but that did reside
in Contra Costa County within six months of their application submittal or
did reside in Contra Costa County continuously for at least ten years
immediately prior to no longer residing in the county.
5. Households with a principal care giver, or with a child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner, then currently residing in
Contra Costa County.
6. Households with a principal care giver, or with a child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, sibling, spouse, or domestic partner, then currently working in
Contra Costa County.
7. All other households.
E. The County and facility operator may jointly elect to extend or increase the annuity
to make additional independent living units available for application of this
Page 10 of 32
Program and/or to increase the subsidy provided to target-income households
that occupy independent living units within the Project.
F. If the facility operator fails to meet the target occupancy rate of 10% of the Project’s
independent living units for five consecutive years and fails to expend $500,000
from the annuity for monthly fee subsidies during the same period, the facility
operator shall pay to the County an amount equal to the then-remaining balance
of the annuity.
Community Benefits Agreement
36. The applicant has agreed to enter into a Community Benefits Agreement with the County
to make an annual community benefits contribution to the County to benefit the local community,
including areas within the unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Walnut Creek near
the Project. The agreement will detail the timing and amount of the agreed-upon community
benefit payments. Prior to filing the Parcel Map for the project, the applicant shall provide the
CDD with an executed copy of the Community Benefits Agreement between the applicant and
County.
Conversion to For Sale or For Rent Units
37. Any future conversion of any approved independent living units to for-sale units or rental units

a. Exterior lighting must be directed downward and away from adjacent properties
and public/private right-of way to prevent glare or excessive light spillover.
Lighting bulbs must be limited to low intensity lights, including lighting for
identification purposes.
b. No free-standing light poles (except those used within building interior courtyards
and for internal roadway lighting) will be allowed within the project site.
Landscaping lights must be limited to ground-level for walking/safety purposes.
c. If any lighting is proposed for the construction staging area, lighting must also be
directed downward and away from adjacent properties. Lighting intensity may not
be greater than what is reasonably required to safely illuminate the staging area.
Building and Retaining Wall Color and Materials Palette
40. The exterior of all proposed buildings and retaining walls shall be composed of materials
that naturally are or that have otherwise been finished in earth tones, similar to those
shown on the approved architectural plans. Prior to CDD stamp approval of plans for
issuance of a building permit for construction of the health center, buildings to
house independent living units, or any retaining walls, the applicant shall submit a
color palette and materials sample for review and approval of the CDD.
Air Quality
41. Enhanced BAAQMD Best Management Practices: The project shall implement the Bay Area
Air Quality Management District’s (BAAQMD’s) recommended best management practices
(BMPs) and additional measures to reduce construction equipment exhaust emissions.
These measures shall include the following (MM AIR-1.1):
a. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and
unpaved access roads) shall be watered three times a day and at a frequency
adequate to maintain minimum soil moisture of 12 percent. Moisture content shall
be verified by lab samples or moisture probe.
b. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material off-site shall be
covered.
c. All visible mud or dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using
a wet power vacuum street sweeper at least once per day. The use of dry power
sweeping shall be prohibited.

or reducing the maximum idling time to two minutes (as required by the California
airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of
Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all
access points.
g. Use interior coatings with no more than 88 grams per liter volatile organic
compounds (VOC) (i.e., ROG) and exterior coatings with no more than 132 grams
per liter VOC (i.e., ROG) to reduce daily emissions by at least 12 percent. Coating
must also meet or exceed BAAQMD requirements (i.e., Regulation 8, Rule 3:
Architectural Coatings). Alternatively, the project could submit a plan to
demonstrate that overall VOC content of architectural coatings would be at least
12 percent below BAAQMD requirements.
h. Post a publicly visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the
Lead Agency regarding dust complaints. This person shall respond and take
corrective action within 48 hours. BAAQMD’s phone number shall also be visible
to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
i. All excavation, grading, and/or demolition activities shall be suspended when
average wind speeds exceed 20 mph and visible dust extends beyond site
boundaries.
j. Wind breaks (e.g., trees, fences) shall be installed on the windward side(s) of
actively disturbed areas of construction adjacent to sensitive receptors. Wind
breaks should have at maximum 50 percent air porosity.
k. Vegetative ground cover (e.g., fast-germinating native grass seed) shall be planted
in disturbed areas as soon as possible and watered appropriately until vegetation
is established.
l. The simultaneous occurrence of excavation, grading, and ground-disturbing
construction activities on the same area at any one time shall be limited. Activities
shall be phased to reduce the amount of disturbed surfaces at any one time.
m. Avoid tracking of visible soil material on to public roadways by employing the
following measures if necessary: (1) Site accesses to a distance of 100 feet from
public paved roads shall be treated with a 6- to 12-inch compacted layer of wood
chips, mulch, or gravel, and (2) washing truck tires and construction equipment
prior to leaving the site.
n. Sandbags or other erosion control measures shall be installed to prevent silt runoff
to public roadways from sites with a slope greater than one percent.
Recycled Water for Construction and Dust Control
42. If available within a reasonable distance from the project site, recycled water shall be used
for construction and dust control activities.
Page 13 of 32
43. Selection of Construction Equipment: Prior to the issuance of any demolition, grading,
and/or building permits, the project applicant shall retain a qualified consultant to
develop a plan demonstrating that the off-road equipment used onsite to construct the
project would achieve a fleet-wide average 72 percent reduction in diesel particulate
matter (DPM) exhaust emissions or greater and a fleet-wide average 16 percent reduction
in NOX or greater. This is the minimum reduction required to reduce the project impacts
(i.e., NOX emissions and cancer risk) to a less than significant level. The feasible plan to
achieve this reduction would include the following (MM AIR-1.2):
a. All diesel-powered off-road equipment, larger than 25 horsepower, operating on
the site for more than two days continuously shall, at a minimum, meet U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) particulate matter emissions standards for
Tier 4 interim engines. Where Tier 4 equipment is not available, exceptions could
be made for equipment that includes California Air Resources Board (CARB)-
certified Level 3 Diesel Particulate Filters or equivalent. Equipment that is
electrically powered or uses non-diesel fuels would also meet this requirement.
Biological Resources
44. Pre-Construction Bat Surveys: A pre-activity survey for roosting bats shall be conducted at
the two valley oaks (Quercus lobata) that support suitable roost habitat near the
northeastern and southeastern corners of the project site within 30 days prior to the
onset of ground-disturbing activities. A qualified biologist will conduct a survey to look
for evidence of bat use within suitable habitat. If evidence of use is observed, or if high-
quality roost sites (e.g., a tree with a large cavity) are present in areas where evidence of
bat use might not be detectable, an evening visual survey combined with a nighttime
acoustic survey shall be conducted to determine if roosting bats are present and to identify
the specific location of such bats. If no roosting bats are located, project work can continue
as Planned.
If a maternity roost is detected, a disturbance-free buffer zone (determined by a qualified
biologist) shall be implemented during the maternity roost season (March 15–August 31).
No project-related activities shall take place within the buffer during the maternity season.
If an active non-breeding bat roost is located, project work shall be redesigned to avoid
removal or disturbance of the occupied tree. No buffer from the roost shall be necessary
during the nonmaternity season (September 1–March 14). If the roost tree itself must be
removed, bats shall be passively excluded from roost habitat with one-way devices, or
trees will be removed using a two-step tree removal process. The two-step process shall
be initiated if exclusion with one-way devices is not feasible due to height of the roost. For
the two-step process, trees shall be removed over a two-day period. On day 1, all non-
suitable limbs shall be removed, and on day 2, the remainder of the tree shall be removed.
Removing trees in this way creates disturbance that encourages bats to vacate the tree
before the potential habitat is removed. Either method shall be monitored by a qualified
Page 14 of 32
biologist with knowledge of bat ecology and experience with bat exclusion methods. (MM
BIO-1.1)
45. Pre-construction surveys for western burrowing owl shall be conducted in accordance with
the March 7, 2012, CDFW Staff Report on Burrowing Owl Mitigation. If preconstruction
surveys find active nests avoidance and minimization guidelines (such as site surveillance,
buffers, translocation, artificial burrows, or habitat replacement) must be developed prior
to the start of construction in accordance with the March 7, 2012, CDFW memo, and
through consultation with CDFW. (MM BIO-1.2)
46. Avoidance and Nesting Inhibition: To the extent feasible, construction activities (or at least
the commencement of such activities) shall be scheduled to avoid the nesting season. If
construction activities are scheduled to take place outside the nesting season, all impacts
on nesting birds protected under the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code shall be
avoided. The nesting season for most birds in Contra Costa County extends from February
1 through August 31.
If construction activities will not be initiated until after the start of the nesting season, all
potential nesting substrates (e.g., bushes, trees, grasses, and other vegetation) that are
scheduled to be removed by the project shall be removed prior to the start of the
nesting season (e.g., prior to February 1). This will preclude the initiation of nests in this
vegetation, and prevent the potential delay of the project due to the presence of active
nests in these substrates. (MM BIO-1.3)
47. Pre-Construction Bird Surveys: If not possible to schedule construction activities between
September 1 and January 31, pre-construction nesting bird surveys shall be completed by
a qualified biologist no more than seven days before construction begins. During this
survey, the biologist or ornithologist shall inspect all trees and other possible nesting
habitats in and within 250 feet of the project boundary.
If an active nest is found in an area that would be disturbed by construction, the biologist
shall designate an adequate buffer zone (typically 300 feet for raptors and 100 feet for
other species) to be established around the nest, in consultation with the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The buffer would ensure that nests shall not be
disturbed until the young have fledged (left the nest), the nest is vacated, and there is no
evidence of second nesting attempts.
The applicant shall submit a report indicating the results of the survey and any designated
buffer zones to the satisfaction of the Department of Conservation and Development,
prior to the removal of trees and issuance of a grading permit or demolition permit.
(MM BIO-1.4)
48. Avoidance and Minimization: Prior to the start of construction the property owner or
project sponsor shall clearly delineate riparian habitat to be avoided with fencing around
Page 15 of 32
the dripline of the riparian canopy. Further indirect impacts to riparian habitat shall be
avoided by implementing the following measures during construction (MM BIO-2.1):
a. Existing native vegetation shall be retained by removing only as much vegetation as
necessary to accommodate the new road. Any vegetation removed shall be replaced
per MM BIO-2.2 below.
b. Temporary disturbance or removal of riparian vegetation shall not exceed the
minimum necessary to complete the work. Any vegetation removed shall be replaced
per MM BIO-2.2 below.
c. Exposed soil shall be controlled by stabilizing slopes (e.g., with erosion control
blankets) and protecting channels (e.g., using silt fences or straw wattles).
d. Site ingress/egress locations shall be stabilized (e.g., with erosion control blankets).
49. Compensatory Mitigation for Permanent Loss of Riparian Habitat: For areas that are not
able to be avoided, the property owner or project sponsor shall restore or enhance an
equivalent area at a 2:1 (mitigation:impact) ratio, on an acreage basis (or as otherwise
directed by a regulatory agency with regulatory authority over impacts to riparian habitat
on the site). Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the applicant shall prepare a Riparian
and Aquatic Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (Riparian and Aquatic HMMP) for
aquatic and riparian habitat creation as a means of compensatory mitigation. The Riparian
and Aquatic HMMP shall be prepared by a qualified restoration ecologist and shall
provide, at a minimum, the following items:
a. Habitat impacts summary and proposed habitat mitigation actions.
b. Goals of the restoration to achieve no net loss.
c. The location of the mitigation sites and existing site conditions.
d. Mitigation design including:
Proposed site construction schedule.
Description of existing and proposed soils, hydrology, geomorphology and
geotechnical stability.
Site preparation and grading plan.
Invasive species eradication plan.
Soil amendments and other site preparation.
Planting plan (plant procurement/propagation/installation).
Maintenance plan.
e. Monitoring measures, and performance and success criteria. At a minimum,
success criteria shall include at least 70 percent cover by native, woody riparian
vegetation by year five.
f. Monitoring methods, duration, and schedule.
g. Contingency measures and remedial actions.
h. Reporting measures.
The mitigation shall be deemed complete and the applicant released from further
responsibilities when the final success criteria have been met, or when the mitigation is
Page 16 of 32
deemed complete as determined by applicable regulatory/resource agencies. (MM BIO
2.2)
50. Construction Best Management Practices: The central drainage and associated seasonal
wetlands that are to be avoided by the project design will be protected from construction
activities through implementation of best management practices (BMPs) such as installing
silt fencing between jurisdictional waters and project related activities, locating staging
and laydown areas away from potentially jurisdictional features, and isolating construction
work areas from any identified jurisdictional features. In addition, site stormwater
treatment features must be designed consistent with the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region, Municipal Regional Stormwater National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit as described above, and shall be placed in
locations to treat runoff from the developed portion of the site before entering avoided
wetlands. To the extent feasible, existing site drainage patterns in the vicinity of avoided
wetlands shall be preserved to prevent indirect alterations to surface hydrology that may
contribute to supporting the wetlands. (MM BIO-3.1)
51. Compensatory Mitigation for Permanent Loss of Wetlands: To compensate for the
perennial drainage and seasonal wetlands that will be permanently impacted by extension
of Kinross Drive to the project site, the project proponent shall implement one of the
following, in agreement with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the
Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) as per permit requirements. (MM BIO-
3.2)
a. Acquisition of equivalent wetlands and waters at a nearby site at a ratio of 2:1, on
an acreage basis;
b. Purchase of mitigation credits at a mitigation bank;
c. Enhancement of seasonal wetlands and the perennial drainage to be preserved in
the central portion of the site, as well as creation of seasonal wetland habitat in the
bioretention facilities proposed on site, at a ratio of 2:1, on an acreage basis;
d. An alternative to be agreed upon with the USACE and RWQCB.
52. To avoid encroachment within identified wetlands areas, the rip-rap aprons proposed
under the clear-span bridge shall be relocated either outside the areas designated as
jurisdictional by the Army Corps of Engineers, or further east to the general location of the
culverted crossing that will be removed.
53. Construction Worker Training: Worker Awareness Training for cultural resources shall be
provided to members of the construction excavation and grading team. Training shall
consist of the preparation of an alert sheet that would provide guidance and procedures
in the event of an unexpected discovery of cultural materials with photographs of typical
artifact that shall be exposed coupled with a briefing of the construction crew. (MM CUL-
2.2)
Page 17 of 32
54. Undiscovered Archaeological Resources: If evidence of an archaeological site or other
suspected cultural resource as defined by CEQA Guideline Section 15064.5, including
darkened soil representing past human activity (“midden”), that could conceal material
remains (e.g., worked stone, worked bone, fired clay vessels, faunal bone, hearths, storage
pits, or burials) is discovered during construction related earth-moving activities, all
ground-disturbing activity within 50 feet of the resources shall be halted and the County
Department of Conservation and Development be notified. The project sponsor shall hire
a qualified archaeologist to conduct a field investigation. The County shall consult with the
archaeologist to assess the significance of the find. Impacts to any significant resources
shall be mitigated to a less-than-significant level through data recovery or other methods
determined adequate by a qualified archaeologist and that are consistent with the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Archaeological documentation. Any identified
resources shall be recorded on the appropriate DPR 523 (A-J) form and filed with the
NWIC. (MM CUL-2.2)
55. Report of Archaeological Resources: If archaeological resources are identified, a final
report summarizing the discovery of cultural materials shall be submitted to the County
Department of Conservation and Development prior to issuance of certificate of
occupancy. This report shall contain a description of the mitigation program that was
implemented and its results, including a description of the monitoring and testing
program, a list of the resources found and conclusion, and a description of the
disposition/curation of the resources. (MM CUL-2.3)
56. Human Remains: If human remains are discovered during project construction, all ground-
disturbing activity within 100 feet of the resources shall be halted and the County
Department of Conservation and Development and the Contra Costa County coroner shall
be notified immediately, according to Section 5097.98 of the State Public Resources Code
and Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. If the remains are determined
by the County coroner to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission
(NAHC) shall be notified within 24 hours, and the guidelines of the NAHC shall be adhered
to in the treatment and disposition of the remains. The project sponsor shall also retain a
professional archaeologist with Native American burial experience to conduct a field
investigation of the specific site and consult with the Most Likely Descendant, if any,
identified by the NAHC. As necessary, the archaeologist may provide professional
assistance to the Most Likely Descendant, including the excavation and removal of the
human remains. Contra Costa County shall be responsible for approval of recommended
mitigation as it deems appropriate, taking account of the provisions of State law, as set
forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(e) and Public Resources Code section 5097.98.
The project sponsor shall implement approved mitigation, to be verified by Contra Costa
County and as determined appropriate by the NAHC, before the resumption of ground-
disturbing activities within 100 feet of where the remains were discovered. (MM CUL-3.1)
Geology and Soils
Page 18 of 32
57. Design-level Geotechnical Compliance: The applicant shall prepare a site-specific, design-
level geotechnical investigation for the project. The design-level geotechnical report shall
include, but not be limited to, the following considerations:
a. The 2019 CBC classification of the site as being located in Site Class B or C shall be
determined. Building foundations, retaining walls, and structural framing
requirements will be impacted by the Site Classification.
b. The central portion of the site is underlain by artificial fill and colluvial soils that are
more than 17 feet deep. The liquefaction potential of these underlying soils shall
be evaluated.
c. More detailed evaluation of the excavation characteristics of the sandstone and
claystone bedrock underlying the site shall be performed. The excavation
characteristics of the bedrock will impact cut grading and excavations for
underground utilities and foundations.
d. Final recommendations for grading shall be provided, including permanent and
temporary slope inclinations, differential fill thickness for building pads, fill
construction, and the extent of colluvial and artificial soil removal.
e. The impacts from the on-site expansive soils on proposed structures, pavements,
and flatwork shall be addressed.
f. The design and construction of valley drains and subdrains in fill keyways and
benches shall be addressed.
g. Potential water seepage through rock fractures, daylighting from cut slopes and
into utility trenches shall be assessed.
h. Pseudostatic seismic loads will need to be incorporated into the design of retaining
walls which will be more than six feet tall, as specified in the CBC.
All recommendations by the engineering geologist and/or geotechnical engineer shall be
incorporated into the final design. Recommendations that are applicable to foundation
design, earthwork, and site preparation that were prepared prior to or during the project
design phase, shall be incorporated in the project. All foundations and other project
structures that require building permits must be compliant with the provisions of the
California Building Code. Construction drawings for the project, including seismic design
factors, shall be subject to technical review and approval by the Contra Costa Department
of Conservation and Development prior to issuance of construction permits. (MM GEO-
1.1)
58. Paleontological Monitoring: Construction activities involving excavation or other soil
disturbance within the project site shall be required to retain a qualified Paleontological
Monitor as defined by the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) (2010) equipped with
necessary tools and supplies to monitor all excavation, trenching, or other ground
disturbance. Monitoring will entail the visual inspection of excavated or graded areas and
trench sidewalls. In the event that a paleontological resource is discovered, the monitor
will have the authority to temporarily divert the construction equipment around the find
until it is assessed for scientific significance and collected. Prior to issuance of a grading
Page 19 of 32
permit a copy of the executed contract or other evidence that paleontological monitoring
services have been retained, shall be provided to the County for review.
Prior to beginning construction activities, the Principal Paleontologist shall attend a
preconstruction meeting to identify specific areas on the project site where
paleontological monitoring will be required and shall provide training to construction
personnel on how to identify potentially significant fossils. The Principal Paleontologist will
periodically assess monitoring results and if no significant fossils have been exposed after
fifty percent of excavation, the Principal Paleontologist may determine that monitoring is
no longer necessary. (MM GEO-6.1)
59. Inadvertent Discovery of Fossils: If fossils are discovered during excavation, the Principal
Paleontologist or his/her designated representative will make a preliminary taxonomic
identification and determine if the find is significant. For significant/ potentially significant
fossil finds, the Paleontologist shall provide a written recommendation to the Contra Costa
Department of Conservation and Development if further action is required, and provide
recommended measures for any further evaluation, fossil collection, or protection of the
resource. Any subsequent paleontologic work shall be approved by the Contra Costa
Department of Conservation and Development and completed as quickly as possible to
avoid damage to the fossils and delays in construction schedules. At a minimum, for
significant fossils, the paleontological staff will assign a unique field number to each
specimen identified; photograph the specimen and its geographic and stratigraphic
context along with a scale near the specimen and its field number clearly visible in close-
ups; record the location using a global positioning system (GPS), record the field number
and associated specimen data (identification by taxon and element, etc.) and
corresponding geologic and geographic site data (location, elevation, etc.) in the field
notes and in a daily monitoring report; stabilize and prepare all fossils for identification,
and identify to lowest taxonomic level.
Upon completion of fieldwork, all significant fossils collected shall be prepared to a point
ready for curation. Preparation shall include the careful removal of excess matrix from fossil
materials and stabilizing and repairing specimens, as necessary. Following laboratory work,
all fossil specimens will be identified to the lowest taxonomic level, cataloged, analyzed,
and delivered to an accredited museum repository for permanent curation and storage.
The cost of curation is assessed by the repository and is the responsibility of the project
proponent.
A report to be submitted to the repository museum documenting the results of the
paleontological mitigation monitoring efforts associated with the project shall be prepared
by the Principal Paleontologist. The report shall include a summary of the field and
laboratory methods, an overview of the project site geology and paleontology, a list of
taxa recovered, an analysis of fossils recovered and their scientific significance, and
recommendations. (MM GEO-6.2)
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Page 20 of 32
60. Conduct Asbestos and Lead Surveys Prior to Demolition. Prior to the issuance of
demolition permits for the two existing residences and associated structures, the
applicant shall retain a licensed professional to conduct asbestos and lead paint surveys.
These surveys shall be conducted prior to the disturbance or removal of any suspect
asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint, and these materials shall be
characterized for asbestos and lead by a reliable method. All activities involving asbestos-
containing materials and lead-based paint shall be conducted in accordance with
governmental regulations, and all removal shall be conducted by properly licensed
abatement contractors. (MM HAZ-2.1)
61. PCB Screening Assessment. Prior to the issuance of demolition permits for the existing
residences and associated structures, the applicant shall submit a PCB Screening
Assessment Form with their permit application.55 If on-site buildings do contain PCBs that
exceed threshold limits, the project applicant shall follow applicable federal and state laws,
which may include reporting to such agencies as the EPA, RWQCB, and DTSC, who may
require additional sampling and abatement of PCBs consistent with state and federal
requirements. (MM HAZ-2.2)
Hydrology and Water Quality
62. In accordance with Division 914 of the Contra Costa County Ordinance Code, the project
applicant shall collect and convey all stormwater entering and/or originating on this
property, without diversion and within an adequate storm drainage facility, to a natural
watercourse having definable bed and banks, or to an existing adequate public storm
drainage system that conveys the stormwater to a natural watercourse. Any proposed
diversions of the watershed shall be subject to review by the County Public Works
Department, and possibly be subject to hearing body approval. Prior to issuance of a
grading permit, the applicant shall submit improvement plans for proposed drainage
improvements, and a drainage report with hydrology and hydraulic calculations to the
Engineering Services Division of the Public Works Department and the Contra Costa
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for review and approval that
demonstrates the adequacy of the on-site drainage system and the downstream drainage
system. The applicant shall verify the adequacy at any downstream drainage facility
accepting stormwater from this project prior to discharging runoff. If the downstream
system(s) is not adequate to handle the Existing Plus Project condition for the required
design storm, improvements shall be constructed to make the system adequate. The
applicant shall obtain access rights to make any necessary improvements to off-site
facilities. (MM HYD-3.1)
Noise
63. A Construction Noise Management Plan shall be prepared by the construction contractor
and implemented prior to the start of and throughout construction to reduce noise
impacts on the nearby existing land uses. The plan shall establish the procedures the
Page 21 of 32
contractor will take to reasonably minimize construction noise at the nearby existing land
uses. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following measures to reduce
construction noise levels as low as practical (MM NOI-1.1):
a. Restrict noise-generating activities including construction traffic at the
construction site or in areas adjacent to the construction site to the hours of 8:00
a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with no construction allowed on federal
and State weekends and holidays.
b. Potential contractors shall be requested to submit information on their noise
management procedures and demonstrate a successful track record of
construction noise management on prior projects.
c. The selected contractor will equip all internal combustion engine driven equipment
with intake and exhaust mufflers that are in good condition and appropriate for
the equipment.
d. The selected contractor will prohibit unnecessary idling of internal combustion
engines.
e. The selected contractor will locate stationary noise generating equipment such as
air compressors or portable power generators as far as practical from sensitive
receptors.
f. The selected contractor will utilize “quiet” air compressors and other stationary
noise sources where technology exists.
g. The selected contractor shall limit the allowable hours for the delivery of materials
or equipment to the site and truck traffic coming to and from the site for any
purpose to Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
h. The selected contractor will establish construction staging areas and material
stockpiles at locations that will create the greatest distance between the
construction-related noise sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the
project site during all project construction to a distance of at least 75 feet, as is
feasible.
i. The selected contractor will designate a project liaison that will be responsible for
responding to noise complaints during the construction phase. The name and
phone number of the liaison will be conspicuously posted at construction areas
and on all advanced notifications. This person will take steps to resolve complaints,
including periodic noise monitoring, if necessary. Results of noise monitoring will
be presented at regular project meetings with the project contractor, and the
liaison will coordinate with the contractor to modify any construction activities that
generated excessive noise levels to the extent feasible.
j. The selected contractor will hold a preconstruction meeting with the job inspectors
and the general contractor/on-site project manager to confirm that noise
mitigation and practices (including construction hours, construction schedule, and
noise coordinator) are completed.
k. Prior to the initiating of each phase of the project (e.g. grading, construction)
neighboring property owners within 300 feet of construction activity shall be
notified in writing of the construction schedule and at least 2 weeks prior to loud
Page 22 of 32
noise-generating activities. Notification will include the nature and estimated
duration of the activity.
l. A qualified acoustical professional shall be retained to address noise concerns, and
if needed, to determine if construction noise levels at adjacent property lines are
consistent with the findings of the certified EIR. Corrective actions shall be taken to
reduce construction noise if inconsistencies are identified. Temporary noise
barriers shall be installed during construction phases involving earth moving
equipment (e.g., grading operations) where they would be effective in reducing the
construction noise impact, when directly adjoining sensitive receptors, such as at
the Seven Hills School. An eight-foot plywood noise barrier could reduce noise
levels by at least 5 dBA.
64. Prior to the issuance of building permits, mechanical equipment shall be selected and
designed to reduce impacts on surrounding uses to meet 50 dBA Leq during daytime
hours and 40 dBA Leq during nighttime hours. A qualified acoustical consultant shall be
retained by the project applicant to review mechanical noise as the equipment systems
are selected in order to determine specific noise reduction measures necessary to reduce
noise to comply with the noise limits at all adjacent noise sensitive land uses. Noise
reduction measures could include, but are not limited to, locating equipment away from
noise sensitive locations, selection of equipment that emits low noise levels and/or
installation of noise barriers such as enclosures and parapet walls to block the line of sight
between the noise source and the nearest receptors. If properly designed and controlled,
the combined worst-case noise level due to the operation of on-site noise sources
including the project parking lots, mechanical equipment, and maintenance building
operations would not be substantially increased with the project and would remain below
the 60 dBA Ldn noise and land use compatibility thresholds established for residential land
uses by Contra Costa County and the City of Walnut Creek. (MM NOI-1.2)
65. The project shall implement the following measures to minimize vibration impacts from
construction activities (MM NOI-2.1):
a. Avoid the use of vibratory rollers and other heavy construction equipment within
20 feet of existing structures.
b. Place operating equipment on the construction site as far as possible from
vibration sensitive receptors.
c. Use smaller equipment within 20 feet of the perimeter property lines adjoining off
site structures to minimize vibration levels below the limits.
d. Select demolition methods not involving impact tools within 100 feet of the
perimeter property lines adjoining off-site structures.
e. Avoid dropping heavy objects or materials near vibration sensitive locations.
f. A list of all heavy construction equipment to be used for this project known to
produce high vibration levels (tracked vehicles, vibratory compaction,
jackhammers, hoe rams, etc.) shall be submitted to the County by the contractor.
This list shall be used to identify equipment and activities that would potentially
Page 23 of 32
generate substantial vibration and to define the level of effort required for
continuous vibration monitoring.
Child Care
66. In accordance with Chapter 82-22 (Child Care Facilities) of the County Ordinance Code the
developer shall mitigate the need for four additional infant child care spaces created by
the proposed development via one or a combination of the following methods:
a. The developer may contribute funds directly to family child care providers in the
Walnut Creek area to encourage providers to care for infants. The submitted funds
are intended for use in training or the purchase of infant equipment. The fund
contribution amount shall be sufficient to train a sufficient number of additional
staff or to purchase enough equipment to substantially meet the additional infant
child care demand created by the proposed development. The fund amount shall
be subject to review and approval of CoCoKids and the Community Development
Division.
b. The developer may contract with the CoCoKids to recruit and train additional family
child care providers, with a special focus on recruiting providers to provide infant
care. The proposed contract shall be submitted for review and approval of the
Community Development Division.

or road improvements, roadway dedications, or right of way acquisitions, may be required
by the City. Based on the project description and environmental review, these
improvements are anticipated to include:
a. Extend Kinross Drive to provide primary access to the project site. Kinross Drive is
a two-lane collector street located within the Walnut Creek city limits. The
extension of Kinross Drive would be constructed within a 50-foot right-of-way that
was previously dedicated to the city. The proposed extension of Kinross Drive will
transition as it approaches the project from two-lanes to three-lanes, two lanes for
ingress.

Resolution No. 2022/410
The Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community
Approving a General Plan Amendment (County File #CDGP20-00001) for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement
Community Project.
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on November 29, 2022, to consider the Spieker
Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project, proposed for the the unincorporated Walnut Creek area. The
Project includes the certification of an EIR and adoption of a Mitgation Monitoring and Reporting program prepared for
the Project, a General Plan Amendment (County File #CDGP20-00001), a rezoning ordinance (County File
#CDRZ20-03255), a minor subdivision (County File #CDMS20-00007), a Preliminary and Final Development Plan
(County File #CDDP20-03018), and a Land Use Permit (County File #CDLP20-02038).
1.
The General Plan Amendment for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project reclassifies land
from General Agricultural (A-2) to Congregate Care/Senior Housing (CC).
2.
The General Plan Amentment for the Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project is the fourth General
Plan Amendment fpr the calendar year 2022.
3.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors resolves as follows:
The Board of Supervisors makes the following General Plan Amendment findings:
Adoption of the proposed General Plan amendment (GPA) is consistent with the provisions of the Urban Limit Line
(ULL). No change to the ULL would occur and the Project does not require extension of urban services beyond the
ULL. The subject site is located inside the ULL, and therefore may be developed with “urban” and “non-urban” uses,
as defined in the 2005-2020 Contra Costa County General Plan. The proposed land use designation, Congregate Care
(CC), is urban.
A.
Adoption of the proposed GPA will not result in a violation of the 65/35 Land Preservation Standard (the “65/35
Standard”), established through voter adoption of Measure C-1990 and reaffirmed through adoption of Measure
L-2006. Under the 65/35 Standard, no more than 35 percent of the land in the county may be developed with urban
uses and at least 65 percent of the land must be preserved for non-urban uses such as agriculture, open space, parks,
wetlands, etc. The existing land use designation for the subject site, Single-Family Residential Medium Density
(SM), is an urban land use designation. No non-urban land use designations are present on-site. The proposed CC
land use designation is also an urban designation. Therefore, the percentage of land with urban and non-urban
designations will not change as a result of the GPA.
B.
The Project complies with the objectives and requirements of Measure J-2004, the Contra Costa Growth
Management Program (GMP), and related Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) resolutions. The CCTA
GMP Implementation Guide (2021) sets forth procedures for local agency consultation and evaluation of impacts
related to proposed GPAs. The Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement Community Project would generate
fewer than 100 a.m. or p.m. peak hour trips and would not impact a Route of Regional Significance. The project is
therefore exempt from the GMP GPA Review Process. Regardless, the DEIR was referred to TRANSPAC, the
Regional Transportation Planning Committee for Central Contra Costa County, for review and comment. No
comments were submitted.
C.
Adoption of the proposed GPA will not cause the General Plan to become internally inconsistent. The General Plan
comprises an integrated, internally consistent, and compatible statement of policy governing land use in the
unincorporated areas of the county. The existing SM land use designation allows for single-family residential
development across the subject site. The proposed CC designation allows for more intense development over the
D.
1.
same area. Changing the land use designation from SM to CC does not affect or conflict with the policies applicable
to the site, nor does it otherwise amend the General Plan.
Adoption of the proposed GPA is in the public interest. The existing SM land use designation allows for
development of approximately 112 single-family homes, and possibly up to 166 homes with a density bonus
consideration. The SM designation was applied to the subject site over 30 years ago, when demand for new housing,
particularly senior housing, was less acute. California is in the midst of a housing crisis and redesignation of the site
to CC allows for development of 354 independent living units for seniors (a 216 percent increase over the base SM
density), plus 100 assisted living units including 33 skilled nursing beds and 23 memory care units.

required to reduce the project impacts (i.e., NOX emissions and
cancer risk) to a less than significant level. The feasible plan to
achieve this reduction would include the following:
a) All diesel-powered off-road equipment, larger than 25
horsepower, operating on the site for more than two days
continuously shall, at a minimum, meet U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) particulate matter emissions
standards for Tier 4 interim engines. Where Tier 4
equipment is not available, exceptions could be made for
equipment that includes California Air Resources Board
(CARB)-certified Level 3 Diesel Particulate Filters or
equivalent. Equipment that is electrically powered or uses
non-diesel fuels would also meet this requirement.
Section 3.4 – Biological Resources
MM BIO-1.1: Pre-Construction Bat Surveys: A pre-activity
survey for roosting bats shall be conducted at the two valley oaks
(Quercus lobata) that support suitable roost habitat near the
northeastern and southeastern corners of the project site within 14
days prior to the onset of ground-disturbing activities. A qualified
biologist will conduct a survey to look for evidence of bat use
within suitable habitat. If evidence of use is observed, or if high-
quality roost sites (e.g., a tree with a large cavity) are present in
areas where evidence of bat use might not be detectable, an
evening visual survey combined with a nighttime acoustic survey

shall be conducted to determine if roosting bats are present and to
identify the specific location of such bats. If no roosting bats are
located, project work can continue as planned.
If a maternity roost is detected, a disturbance-free buffer zone
(determined by a qualified biologist) shall be implemented during
the maternity roost season (March 15–August 31). No project-
related activities shall take place within the buffer during the
maternity season.
If an active non-breeding bat roost is located, project work shall
be redesigned to avoid removal or disturbance of the occupied
tree. No buffer from the roost shall be necessary during the
nonmaternity season (September 1–March 14). If the roost tree
itself must be removed, bats shall be passively excluded from
roost habitat with one-way devices, or trees will be removed
using a two-step tree removal process. The two-step process shall
be initiated if exclusion with one-way devices is not feasible due
to height of the roost. For the two-step process, trees shall be
removed over a two-day period. On day 1, all non-suitable limbs
shall be removed, and on day 2, the remainder of the tree shall be
removed. Removing trees in this way creates disturbance that
encourages bats to vacate the tree before the potential habitat is
removed. Either method shall be monitored by a qualified
biologist with knowledge of bat ecology and experience with bat
exclusion methods.

construction activities are scheduled to take place outside the
nesting season, all impacts on nesting birds protected under the
MBTA and California Fish and Game Code shall be avoided. The
nesting season for most birds in Contra Costa County extends
from February 1 through August 31.
If construction activities will not be initiated until after the start
of the nesting season, all potential nesting substrates (e.g.,
bushes, trees, grasses, and other vegetation) that are scheduled to
be removed by the project shall be removed prior to the start of
the nesting season (e.g., prior to February 1). This will preclude
the initiation of nests in this vegetation, and prevent the potential

MM BIO-1.4: Pre-Construction Bird Surveys: If not possible to
schedule construction activities between September 1 and
January 31, pre-construction nesting bird surveys shall be
completed by a qualified biologist no more than seven days
before construction begins. During this survey, the biologist or
ornithologist shall inspect all trees and other possible nesting
habitats in and within 250 feet of the project boundary.
If an active nest is found in an area that would be disturbed by
construction, the biologist shall designate an adequate buffer
zone (typically 300 feet for raptors and 100 feet for other species)
to be established around the nest, in consultation with the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The buffer
would ensure that nests shall not be disturbed until the young
have fledged (left the nest), the nest is vacated, and there is no
evidence of second nesting attempts.
The applicant shall submit a report indicating the results of the
survey and any designated buffer zones to the satisfaction of the
Department of Conservation and Development, prior to the
removal of trees and issuance of a grading permit or demolition
permit.

Section 3.13 – Noise and Vibration
MM NOI-1.1: A Construction Noise Management Plan shall be
prepared by the construction contractor and implemented prior to
the start of and throughout construction to reduce noise impacts
on the nearby existing land uses. The plan shall establish the
procedures the contractor will take to reasonably minimize
construction noise at the nearby existing land uses. The plan shall
include, but not be limited to, the following measures to reduce
construction noise levels as low as practical:
a) Restrict noise-generating activities including construction
traffic at the construction site or in areas adjacent to the
construction site to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, with no construction allowed on
federal and State weekends and holidays.\
b) Potential contractors shall be requested to submit information
on their noise management procedures and demonstrate a
successful track record of construction noise management on
prior projects.
c) The selected contractor will equip all internal combustion
engine driven equipment with intake and exhaust mufflers
that are in good condition and appropriate for the equipment.
d) The selected contractor will prohibit unnecessary idling of
internal combustion engines.

e) The selected contractor will locate stationary noise generating
equipment such as air compressors or portable power
generators as far as practical from sensitive receptors.
f) The selected contractor will utilize “quiet” air compressors
and other stationary noise sources where technology exists.
g) The selected contractor shall limit the allowable hours for the
delivery of materials or equipment to the site and truck traffic
coming to and from the site for any purpose to Monday
through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
h) The selected contractor will establish construction staging
areas and material stockpiles at locations that will create the
greatest distance between the construction-related noise
sources and noise-sensitive receptors nearest the project site
during all project construction to a distance of at least 75 feet,
as is feasible.
i) The selected contractor will designate a project liaison that
will be responsible for responding to noise complaints during
the construction phase. The name and phone number of the
liaison will be conspicuously posted at construction areas and
on all advanced notifications. This person will take steps to
resolve complaints, including periodic noise monitoring, if
necessary. Results of noise monitoring will be presented at
regular project meetings with the project contractor, and the
liaison will coordinate with the contractor to modify any
construction activities that generated excessive noise levels to
the extent feasible.

j) The selected contractor will hold a preconstruction meeting
with the job inspectors and the general contractor/on-site
project manager to confirm that noise mitigation and practices
(including construction hours, construction schedule, and
noise coordinator) are completed.
k) Prior to the initiating of each phase of the project (e.g.
grading, construction) neighboring property owners within
300 feet of construction activity shall be notified in writing of
the construction schedule and at least 2 weeks prior to loud
noise-generating activities. Notification will include the
nature and estimated duration of the activity.
l) A qualified acoustical professional shall be retained to
address noise concerns, and if needed, to determine if
construction noise levels at adjacent property lines are
consistent with the findings of the certified EIR. Corrective
actions shall be taken to reduce construction noise if
inconsistencies are identified. Temporary noise barriers shall
be installed during construction phases involving earth
moving equipment (e.g., grading operations) where they
would be effective in reducing the construction noise impact,
when directly adjoining sensitive receptors, such as at the
Seven Hills School. An eight-foot plywood noise barrier
could reduce noise levels by at least 5 dBA.

MM NOI-1.2: Prior to the issuance of building permits,
mechanical equipment shall be selected and designed to reduce
impacts on surrounding uses to meet 50 dBA Leq during daytime
hours and 40 dBA Leq during nighttime hours. A qualified
acoustical consultant shall be retained by the project applicant to
review mechanical noise as the equipment systems are selected in
order to determine specific noise reduction measures necessary to
reduce noise to comply with the noise limits at all adjacent noise
sensitive land uses. Noise reduction measures could include, but
are not limited to, locating equipment away from noise sensitive
locations, selection of equipment that emits low noise levels
and/or installation of noise barriers such as enclosures and
parapet walls to block the line of sight between the noise source
and the nearest receptors. If properly designed and controlled, the
combined worst-case noise level due to the operation of on-site
noise sources including the project parking lots, mechanical
equipment, and maintenance building operations would not be
substantially increased with the project and would remain below
the 60 dBA Ldn noise and land use compatibility thresholds
established for residential land uses by Contra Costa County and
the City of Walnut Creek.

d) Select demolition methods not involving impact tools within
100 feet of the perimeter property lines adjoining off-site
structures.
e) Avoid dropping heavy objects or materials near vibration
sensitive locations.
f) A list of all heavy construction equipment to be used for this
project known to produce high vibration levels (tracked
vehicles, vibratory compaction, jackhammers, hoe rams,
etc.) shall be submitted to the County by the contractor. This
list shall be used to identify equipment and activities that
would potentially generate substantial vibration and to
define the level of effort required for continuous vibration
monitoring.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT
between
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY and
DIABLO GLEN WALNUT CREEK CCRC LLC
(County File Nos. CDGP20-00001, CDRZ20-03225, CDMS20-00007, CDLP20-02038, CDDP20-03018)
This Community Benefits Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of _____________, 2022
(“Effective Date”) by and between Contra Costa County (“County”), a political subdivision of
the State of California, and Diablo Glen Walnut Creek CCRC LLC (“Developer”), a Delaware
limited liability company.
RECITALS
A. On_________, 2022, the County Board of Supervisors certified the environmental
impact report (the “EIR”) and approved Developer’s Spieker Senior Continuing Care Retirement
Community Project (the “Project”), a State-licensed continuing care retirement community
composed of 354 independent living units, a health care center, and other amenities, located in
the unincorporated Walnut Creek area, including a General Plan amendment (CDGP20-00001), a
rezoning (CDRZ20-03225), a minor subdivision (CDMS20-00007), a land use permit (CDLP20-
02038), and a preliminary and final development plan (CDDP20-03018).
B. In addition to the discretionary land use approvals already obtained from the County,
Developer intends to obtain County building permits necessary to construct the Project.
C. Due to its location, surrounding uses, and State-licensed medical care components,
the Project is a unique institutional development that would be constructed in an established
community. The Developer’s commitments provided for in this Agreement will enhance the
public benefits provided to the community, in addition to those benefits derived directly from the
Project.
AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, Contra Costa County and Developer agree as follows:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize Developer’s commitment to
making an annual community benefits contribution to the County during the term of this
Agreement.
2. Term. The term (“Term”) of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date, and it expires
upon the earliest of any of the following to occur: (a) the payment of the final community
benefit payment provided for in Section 3; or (b) the effective date of any court decision
that invalidates or sets aside the Project or the EIR.
2
3. Community Benefits Payments.
a. Developer shall pay $500,000 to the County, less any Credit, (the “First
Payment”) upon Final Approval of the Project. “Final Approval” means that the
final map for the Project has been approved by the County Board of Supervisors,
all required permits and entitlements from the City of Walnut Creek have issued,
the respective statues of limitations for challenging the Project have run, and any
pending legal challenges or appeals related to the Project have been finally
resolved. The First Payment shall be made to the County on or before the
December 31st immediately following the earlier of (i) the Final Approval
described above, and (ii) the issuance of the first building permit for the Project.
b. After payment of the First Payment, Developer shall pay $277,778 to the County
in each of the nine following years (each a “Subsequent Payment”). Each of these
nine Subsequent Payments shall be made to the County on or before December 31
in the year in which a Subsequent Payment is due.
4. Use of Payments. The County shall, in its sole discretion, allocate funds received
pursuant to this Agreement to benefit the local community, including areas within the
unincorporated Contra Costa County and the City of Walnut Creek near the Project.
Funds may be used to, for example and without limitation: establish or maintain parks or
trails; maintain or beautify roadways, rights-of-way, or open space; or establish,
maintain, or beautify other community improvements. The County may coordinate with
the City of Walnut Creek in the allocation and expenditure of funds received pursuant to
this Agreement.
5. In-kind Community Improvement Credit.
a. The parties acknowledge that Developer may fund and directly provide additional
in-kind community improvements not required of Developer as part of the Project
approvals. Subject to approval by the Conservation and Development Director
(the “Director”), which shall be in their sole discretion to give, Developer shall be
credited the actual costs incurred by Developer, up to $500,000, in directly
providing any additional in-kind community improvement that is consistent with
the uses described in Section 4 (the total of all approved actual costs, the
“Credit”). Only actual costs incurred by Developer prior to payment of the First
Payment are eligible for credit.
b. Prior to payment of the First Payment, Developer shall provide the County with
documentation of the actual costs incurred by Developer, including but not
limited to, an accounting of contracts executed, purchases made, and Developer’s
staff time spent to directly provide any additional in-kind community
improvements. At the Director’s request, Developer shall provide additional
documentation or information.
6. Notices. All payments, notices, demands, and other communications made under this

Notice of Preparation (NOP) distributed on July 23, 2021.The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was released for public review on March 11, 2022, and was available for public review through May 10, 2022.The Final EIR, including Responses to Comments and attached appendices was published and distributed on October 11, 2022.The EIR identifies potentially significant environmental impacts that would occur if the project is implemented, and recommends feasible mitigation measures that would, in each case, reduce those impacts to less than significant levels.Potentially significant impacts that can be mitigated to less than significant levels were identified in the EIR in the following areas: Aesthetics; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources; Geology and Soils; Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Hydrology and Water Quality; Noise; and Tribal resources.7ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
PLANNING COMMISSION HEARINGOn October 26, 2022, after a public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Supervisors not certify the EIR and not approve the project. The Commission cited insufficient public benefit to support approving the requested General Plan amendmentThe Commission also recommended additional analysis of Project traffic impacts, necessary roadway improvements, emergency vehicle access, and impacts to emergency evacuation routes for Seven Hills School.Lastly, in response to the volume of public comments on the matter, the Commission also recommended that the applicant continue to meet with the adjacent Seven Hills School with respect to Project buffering and light access.8
Staff report contains detailed responses to the issues raised by the Planning Commission as well as to recent letters from the City of Walnut Creek, including the following:Public interest: The proposed Project would create 354 independent living units for seniors, plus a 100-unit health care center to provide necessary care to resident seniors and the community. The existing medium density single-family land use designation would allow for the development of up to 166 single-family residences. The proposed Project and General Plan amendments represent a 216% increase in living units on the project site, and would provide needed housing and services to an underserved, and growing, portion of the County’s population. Additional visual simulations and sectional drawings have been submitted by the applicant and included in the staff materials.Concerns about traffic and parking analysis, comparison with alternatives, intersection impacts, emergency vehicle access, drainage, pedestrian and bicycle connections, park impacts, and other matters have been responded to issue by issue and , in some cases, new or modified conditions have been recommended (including new or modified conditions related to drainage, construction impacts and additional project benefits proposed by the applicant).The applicant has proposed relocating and reconfiguring one villa and reducing the size of retaining walls to better buffer the Seven Hills School.9STAFF RESPONSE
10PROPOSED RELOCATION OF VILLA TO ENHANCE BUFFER
The applicant has agreed to provide the following additional Project benefits:Financial Assistance Program (COA No. 35). Establish a $2,000,000 annuity for the purpose of providing ongoing subsidies to lower-income households that would not otherwise have the financial means to live in the facility. Program target occupancy rate of 10% of the independent living units. Program would prioritize Very-Low- and Lower-Income Households.Offer of Dedication (COA No. 71). Convey to the County an irrevocable offer of dedication in fee of approximately 2.4 acres for public purposes, including flood control, drainage, restoration, open space, and/or public trails, in the County’s sole discretion.Community Benefits Agreement (COA No. 43). Make community benefit payments totaling $3,000,000 over ten years for, at the County’s sole discretion, establishing or maintaining parks or trails; maintaining or beautifying roadways, rights-of-way, or open space; or establishing, maintaining, or beautifying other community improvements. Will benefit the unincorporated County and the City of Walnut Creek near the Project. 11ADDITIONAL PROJECT BENEFITS

ATTN: Board of Supervisors, Contra Costa County
From: Patricia McGowan, concerned citizen
Subject: Proposed Spieker Senior Care Project
Do not allow this intense change
Deny the General Plan Amendment
Date: November 29, 2022 Public Hearing at the Board of Supervisors
_______________________________________________________________________________________
My name is Patricia McGowan and I would like to share the following information
from Save Seven Hills Ranch:
Seven Hills Ranch is designated for residential housing in the County General Plan. The
Spieker Project Description states that the proposed project “does not contain any residential
component.” It states that there will be “354 independent living units for residents” and that
500-700 people will reside at the project. But despite this, the developer insists and the County
now views CCRC living units as “an amenity of the institutional use” and NOT residences or
housing. This gives the applicant free reign to ignore County requirements for residential
development. Specifically, the applicant can disregard the county Park Dedication Standards[1]
and the Inclusionary Housing ordinance[2] both of which are required of all Contra Costa County
residential housing developments.
The applicant asks you to believe this is not residential and they cite the legal reasons for
doing so. However, you do not have to accept a proposal from a developer unwilling to incorporate
these valid and beneficial County residential requirements, regardless of whether they are
legally required to do so or not.
Join your public in recognizing that any development of 30 undeveloped acres should
include a reasonable amount of incorporated publicly accessible green space and that a
development of 350 living units should include some affordable units. An applicant that is so
adamantly opposed to including those “good neighbor” features in their design should not be
rewarded with a tailor-made General Plan Amendment which is all rewards for them and none for
your community.
We request that the County deny the General Plan amendment and remain
consistent with your current General Plan or the Envision Contra Costa 2040 Plan and keep
the residential land use designation for this site,
Additionally and speaking for myself I would like to add that:
I am asking that this site be used to provide housing and remember, the developer has
stated that the proposed community care facility is NOT housing.
As you know, a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) was adopted at the State level
to mitigate the imbalance between housing creation and job creation throughout the state. The
determination by ABAG, the Association of Bay Area Governments, for unincorporated Contra
1
Costa County is that from 2023 to 2031 over 7,600 housing units in the unincorporated areas of
the County plus an additional 5,800 housing units in Walnut Creek need to be built. The County is
updating the General Plan with Envision Contra Costa 2040 to show locations and policies to
facilitate this housing being built. In the current General Plan and in the draft new Envision Contra
Costa 2040 Plan, this site is designated low-medium density residential with the density of 3 to 7
housing units per net acre. As stated in the applicant’s Project Description, “the Project does not
contain any residential component”. So how would approving this Project, which would violate
the current and future General Plan, advance the County’s required compliance with the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation to have over 7,600 housing units?
Housing Element of the County’s General Plan was adopted to mitigate the imbalance
between housing and jobs in the County. Housing Element Goal 6 is to “Provide adequate sites
through land use designation and zoning to accommodate the County’s share of the Regional
Housing Needs Allocation.”
What is the public good of approving non-housing on a site that can be used to achieve
the County’s required housing allocation?
Or will the developer get it both ways… and convince you, the Board of Supervisors, that
their project is housing as far as ABAG is concerned, but is not housing as far as the Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance is concerned? What is the public good of letting the developer's attorneys
find a way to state that these 1-3 bedroom apartments and villas are not housing, thereby
depriving the County of inclusionary housing but are housing when it comes to ABAG
compliance?
Additionally, I believe that a residential development consistent with the General Plan
would be less disruption to the natural site, require less earthwork and result in more
mature trees being saved. We believe that housing can be built on this site in a way that doesn’t
take a hilly site and make it flat, that doesn’t require +350 trees to be removed and that doesn’t
require an extremely extensive amount of earth work.
Per the Project Description, the Project would flatten the hill tops, and require over 22,000
dump truck loads of soil being moved around on site of which +7,500 dump truck loads would get
hauled off site. That is a huge amount of earthwork, projected to take at least 12 months out of a
four-year construction period. Just the soil being moved off site will require
60 dump trucks a day for one year
30 trucks going in and 30 trucks driving out; out past houses, a public golf course, the busy
public park of Heather Farms, and then onto Ygnasio Valley Road. And that’s just the earthwork
being hauled off the site, not yet counting the concrete trucks, steel, wood, sheet rock, kitchens,
bathrooms, and other construction deliveries.
What is the public good for allowing over building of this site?
We believe a residential density consistent with the current and draft General Plan would
not require this amount of cut and fill, would not require +350 trees to be destroyed many of
which are mature full size Oak trees, and would not require the natural hilly site to be completely
reshaped.
Policy 3-28 of the current General Plan states that “New residential development shall be
accommodated only in areas where it will avoid creating severe unmitigated adverse impacts
2
upon the environment and upon the existing community.” The proposed project is not consistent
at all with the surrounding community. The surroundings include low-medium density residential
uses, a school, and a large city park. All of these would be drastically impacted by the immense
scale of the proposed project, especially in terms of the visual impacts, air pollution and noise
associated with major grading and leveling of the hillsides, incredibly high retaining walls, removal
of major trees, and the immense scale of the proposed apartment building.
No creative thinking has gone into suggesting mitigation measures that would improve the
compatibility with the neighborhood such as:
•Reduced scale of the largest building in terms of footprint and height
•Preserving a large portion of the site in open space that could be shared with the
neighborhood Preserving on-site critical trees
•Reduced grading to respect the natural form of the site by siting buildings in a way that
minimizes grading requirements
This site should not be developed as intensely as proposed and a site plan that reduces
impacts and integrates into the existing community would show far less development than what is
proposed while complying with your adopted and draft General Plan.
Thank you.

Subject:Public Comment for Nov 29 BOS meeting, Spieker Project
Dear Contra Costa Board of Supervisors,
As a resident of Walnut Creek, I am contacting you with my concerns about the Spieker Proposal for Seven Hills Ranch. I ask
the Board to deny the General Plan Amendment (GPA) requested in the Spieker Proposal.
I am very concerned about destruction of habitat protection as this project calls for the removal of over 400 trees (350 of
which are in County protective status). Additionally, within the proposed development area, the significant hills will be
leveled and replaced with three to four story buildings and pavement. During the recent Planning Commission meeting, the
developer attempted to downplay this by stating they would replace some of the trees. However this will do little to ease the
disruption to existing habitat, wildlife and the public as these new trees will take significant time to develop and integrate into
the environment. California is struggling with the effects of climate change and drought. We should be protecting our
remaining green space.
I also feel that any development on Seven Hills Ranch should include some component of public access, in particular a trail to
the ridge which would connect to nearby trails and Heather Farm Park. The City of Walnut Creek’s planning documents have
proposed such a trail for years. The developer’s proposal does not allow for any public access, but instead is a walled‐off
compound with retaining walls up to to 25 feet high. This is not in keeping with the existing nearby residences and Heather
Farm Park.
It is also of concern that this project does not provide housing to the general public. It is a business that will provide housing
and services to a privileged group of senior citizens. This is not a residential neighborhood that I will be allowed to pass
through when going on a walk. It will be a walled‐off private business. Again, this is not in keeping with the surrounding
community and this walled off facility will not be a part of the neighborhood.
The Contra Costa County Planning Commission denied approval of the GPA, and I ask that the Contra Costa County Board of
Supervisors also deny the GPA, in recognition that this request is for a radical change to the General Plan.
I thank you for considering my comments.
Sincerely,
Dennis Fischer

During the recent meeting with the Planning Commission, the developer attempted to downplay this by stating they
would replace some of the trees. It would be in the interest of the existing habitat, wildlife and the public to have a
smaller scale project, as per the current zoning, which would allow for more preservation of the trees, habitat and
wildlife. California is struggling with the effects of climate change and drought. We should be protecting our remaining
green space.
I also feel that any development on Seven Hills Ranch should include some component of public access, in particular a

Board of Supervisors also deny the GPA, in recognition that this request is for a radical change to the General Plan. I
thank you for considering my comments.
Sincerely,

Subject:Public Comment for Nov 29 BOS meeting, Spieker Project
Attention Board of Supervisors,
I am writing to strongly urge you to deny the General Plan Amendment. The fact is the proposed
development would bring an overwhelming and negative change to our Community and the land they
intend to build on. In particular, the proposal would require a radical change in the County's allowed
density.
The developer repeatedly refers to this project as an “infill” project. We contend that this is NOT an
“infill” project and its intense development in the proposed manner is in fact contrary to the stated
“infill” goals of the California Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). In particular, the
OPR’s stated commitment is to “reduce conversion of …sensitive habitat and open space for new
development” when considering infill developments. A development proposal is not automatically
considered “infill” simply because it is inside the Urban Limit Line (ULL). This 30-acre natural
environment as a target for extreme destruction under the banner of “infill” is in fact in direct
opposition to many of the OPR’s stated goals and definitions of “infill”. The Spieker EIR continually
states this development is proposed for this “urban infill” site . This seriously stretches the concept of
urban infill. Generally, “urban” means high rises and densely populated commerce hubs, and “infill”
refers to empty or underused lots among urban city blocks. This site is neither, although the proposed
development would transform the current suburban area into an urban environment due to its building
heights and multiple commercial-type buildings, including a 85,000 square foot Health Care Facility
for its residents and the public.
Please reject this request so that we can find a more reasonable and acceptable alternative for the
use of this property.
Thank you,
Kayoko Korsgaard

Re: 850 Seven Hills Ranch Rd.
The proposed development of the subject property is short sighted and should not be allowed. It would utterly destroy
a beautiful and increasingly rare piece of land that the community has this one time opportunity to preserve for the
enjoyment of current residents and future generations of both the citizens and wildlife.
I urge you strongly to reject this proposal and designate the property as a natural area so that it serves everyone and not
just the interests of the developer and an already well served group of retirees.
With my sincere thanks on behalf of the entire community, Hugh Ashcraft

Dear Ms. Boyd, Clerk of the Board,

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving,

As a comprehensive care community, Diablo Glen offers me the perfect solution as I
wish to age in place. For now, I walk 4 miles a day and live an active, happy life with
many friends across the county. My two sons and families live in Ohio andVirginia,
attractive to visit but combined with the fact that they too may at some point move, I
cannot imagine moving to be closer to them.
In addition, living alone now I anticipate needing more care in my future and wish to free
my sons from this obligation; instead, knowing I am within reach of excellent medical
care and immediate assistance at a cost built into my residential costs at Diablo
Glen. This peace of mind for me and for my children is extremely important to me.
The lovely grounds and proximity to all the retail outlets and walking trails in Walnut
Creek make Diablo Glen an important asset to our county. I can't wait for this to be
approved and built!
Warm regards,
Martha Campbell

Dear Supervisors,
My husband, Michael and I would like to express our strong support for the proposed Diablo
Glen Retirement Community. As homeowners in the adjacent Heather Farms community we
both feel that Diablo Glen is an excellent use for the property as it will provide a beautiful
environment for the future residents of the homes in Diablo Glen and it will be a positive
enhancement to the current surrounding residential neighborhoods. We have toured other
communities by Spieker Development and are impressed with the design, construction quality,
and life style offered by their communities. We truly believe Diablo Glen will offer all
residents of Walnut Creek a beautiful location in which to spend their retirement years should
they desire to do so.
We strongly urge you to support Diablo Glen to provide a superior retirement community for our
Walnut Creek residents.
Sincerely,
Michael and Karen Ball

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
I am a retired professor of UC Berkeley and a recipient of the US Medal of
Technology and Innovation. I have lived in Alamo for over 20 years. I could
not find a satisfactory continuous care retirement community in Contra
Costa. Therefore, I moved to Alameda County. There, my wife and I have
since supported many civic and philanthropic projects including the
Chenming and Margaret Hu Medical Center of the Asian Health Services in
Oakland.
I would like to move back to Walnut Creek when Diablo Glen, proposed by
the best CCRC operator in California, is completed. With the baby boomer
generation retiring, there is a shortage of good CCRC and a great
opportunity to attract retirees and boost the economy of Contra Costa
County.
Please approve the Diablo Glen CCRC.

Subject: Please Vote Yes on Spieker/Diablo Glen Project
Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
My wife and I support the Spieker/Diablo Glen Project as by far the best way to develop the land
in question- -having the least environmental impact and the highest benefit for the Walnut Creek
area as a whole. This developer and the multiple CCRC’s they have built and currently run in
California are outstanding operations and they have excellent reputations in their communities.
You have only to look to the Stoneridge Creek CCRC in Pleasanton for proof of this. We were
especially pleased to read the Planning Commission’s staff report on the project and its strong
recommendation for project approval. Please vote to approve the project immediately.
Thank you,
David P Snyder

Like many you will hear from during this hearing, I am a decades long resident of Walnut
Creek. I am in support of the project because it will add to the fabric of the County and City
[when annexed]. If we objectively evaluate the alternatives, one will find that a community of
like minded mature adults will result in better outcomes than the alternative of residential homes
and condominiums.
The Diablo Glen life care project will meet the needs of the underserved senior members of the
community and is progressive. It will also allow many of us to remain in the community near our
families during the final chapter of our lives. As we mature, this has a TREMENDOUS
beneficial emotional component, that I suspect the board is too young to appreciate.
Many Walnut Creek residents present the "NIMBY" objection raising concerns about the scope
of the project and the density of residents. However, if we objectively evaluate the zoned
alternative, high-density single-family housing with the possibility of ADU additions, the result
will be higher and recurring traffic patterns when compared to a community of mature diverse
adults whose ages are typically 75 and above.
It is my sincere hope that the county affirms the application and allows the project to commence
without delay.
Sincerely,
William X. Minor, CPA

Subject:A "YES" VOTE FOR DIABLO GLEN
Dear Supervisors of Contra Costa County,
My wife and I are writing you today to ask for your YES VOTE on the proposed Diablo Glen
Project. Listed are the reasons we feel a Yes vote is the right vote.
1. We have lived in Contra Costa County since 1987 and are nearing the age where a retirement
community is a most attractive option for continued quality of life in retirement.
2. We toured Stoneridge Creek in Pleasanton and were most impressed. It is beautiful, spotless, well
managed and has facilities for special care on site whenever needed for all residents. Diablo Glen will be
a unique senior community as well in Walnut Creek within walking distance of Heather Farms, John Muir
Hospital and downtown.
3. Because of this excellent location the traffic impact on the surrounding neighborhoods would be
minimal.
4. Most senior residents would do their shopping and also seek entertainment close by keeping this
revenue in the City of Walnut Creek.
We respectfully submit the above reasons for a YES VOTE on what will be a wonderful addition to the
City of Walnut Creek and a safe haven for senior citizens.
Thank You,
Norman and Sherry Prickett November 12, 2022

Subject: In Support of Diablo Glen
As a more than fifty year resident of Contra Costa County my wife and I look forward to living in
a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) like the planned Diablo Glen (DG) development. This is
the first and only such CCRC in Contra Costa County (CCC). We moved to CCC in 1969, and subsequently
moved to the Rancho Paraiso development in 1998. We have had a life in CCC that we enjoy and want
to continue living in the area where our roots are deeply established and our two sons’ and their
families make their home. The care and daily living opportunities offered by DG meet all of our needs.
Our current home in Rancho Paraiso will make an excellent home for a younger family looking for an
established community with excellent schools and all the offerings of the area.
The pre-construction response to DG is exciting with more than 600 individuals putting down a
deposit on a home in DG; 80% of whom live in the immediate area. This clearly demonstrates a need for
such a development in the area. My wife and I look forward to DG being approved by the Board of
Supervisors as we know that it will be one of the gems the County boasts about in the future.
If I can provide any additional information or answer any questions feel free to contact me.

We have lived in the county since 1976 and enjoyed all the amenities available to us all these years. We
raised two daughters and have been in our same home during this time. Now with everyone grown we
have been looking to downsize to make our four bedroom home available to another family to enjoy.
We have scouted out many options including Rossmoor but we really only want to make one move.
Diablo Glen is ideal for us and it is in our desired neighborhood. We feel it is a great option for that
property and there is such tremendous interest in this type of living. The people who move there will be
making many family size homes available for purchase in the county and can still stay in their “ hood”
too, where there are lots of opportunities for good entertainment and culture. We hope you will
approve the project as we would like to make it our next home. Ann & Bill White.

<supervisor_burgis@bos.cccounty.us>, <district5@bos.cccounty.us>
We are voicing our strong support for the Diablo Glen project for a number of
reasons. Among them are:
• California has a severe need for more housing and Diablo Glen’s 350+ units
will likely house well over 500-600 people. Those who would prefer that this
property remain open space are ignoring these needs for their own personal
reasons.
• Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the Bay Area are very scarce
compared to the growing demand and many have wait times of multiple years for
acceptance.
• While some have said Diablo Glen is just a posh, high-end facility for only the
wealthy, they are gravely mistaken. Having investigated many Bay Area options
we know that costs are significantly higher in many similar continuing care
developments
• The extremely high cost of assisted senior care will only grow over time and
the lack of these facilities will just exacerbate the dilemma for ALL of us who are
or will be aging and find ourselves in need of these services
• one way or another, this property will be developed and the impact of
development on the community (e. g. traffic congestion) will be significantly less
with Diablo Glen than with an alternative single family home development
Please consider these reasons as you vote and we urge you to APPROVE the Diablo
Glen project so that it can move forward.

I want to add my voice to those expressing support for the proposed senior housing development Diablo
Glen. I'm a 30+ year resident & live on Marchbanks Dr about 1 block from the site for the development. I
am looking forward to moving into Diablo Glen once things are completed.
I'm aware that there are some in my neighborhood who have opposed the project in the past but I

changed their opinions and are now supporters !

My husband and I wish to support the effort to bring Diablo Glen to Contra Costa County. We have lived
in Orinda of 46 years and are deeply rooted here. We have both served in a number of volunteer rolls
over the years and wish to continue that both in Orinda and in CCCounty. Tom was Orinda’s Citizen of
the Year in 2020.
We are, however, both in our early 80’s and while still active would like to downsize and simplify living
and, at the same time, prepare for the years ahead in a place like Diablo Glen. We think that Diablo
Glen will offer an arrangement for us to do that and have placed a deposit down in hopes your support
will make this opportunity possible for us.
We agree that the location chosen will fit into the community nicely with less environmental impact
than other sorts of development. At the same time Diablo Glen will fill a real need for older residents of
CCC who want to stay in the area near family, friends, and community connections built up over many
years.
Thank you for taking into account the voices of potential residents of Diablo Glen who are currently long
time residents of Contra Costa County.

Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, I respectfully request your support for the development of the
Spieker senior development project Diablo Glen.
I have been a homeowner in Contra Costa County for 45 years, mostly in Walnut Creek. I feel
deeply connected to this community, and I really want to remain here.
Living in Diablo Glen would free me from home-maintenance and allow me to “age in in place”
in a friendly, supportive community of seniors. Long-term care would be available in the same
community should I ever need it, eliminating the risk of having to navigate this in a crisis. Diablo
Glen is the perfect answer for someone like me!
My move to Diablo Glen would also benefit our community, as my current house in Walnut
Creek would become available to a growing family in need of a roomy house on a large lot. I
believe this is likely the case for most of the future residents of the 354 homes in Diablo Glen,
who would release their homes to the community years earlier than they otherwise might.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Marillyn Cole, Walnut Creek

Subject: In support of Diablo Glen
Dear Supervisor Mitchoff:
This is to respectfully request your approval of the Diablo Glen project. I had planned on being present
for the meeting in which the Diablo Glen project was on the agenda, however my fiancé recently
suffered a cervical fracture as a result of a fall, and is in a neck brace for the next several months, which
makes it extremely difficult for him to ride in a low profile car such as mine. Had a facility such as Diablo
Glen been in existence in the Walnut Creek area, we would have been able to attend the meeting in
person, as there would have been a high profile, accessible shuttle available to transport us.
As a resident of Contra Costa County for the past 35 years, I am intimately familiar with the area and
have been deeply involved in many aspects of the community over the years. My children were raised
here, attended school and worked part time during their teenage years. We all developed strong
connections socially, supported local businesses, religious institutions, and our doctors are all in the
county.
As my fiancé and I are in our early 70’s, we recognize that life as we have known it is changing. Our
needs are becoming greater, and it is clear the time is soon coming for us to move into a supportive
community such as Diablo Glen, which is why we are a depositor. My vision is no longer such that it is
safe to drive at night, or in new areas, and my fiancé is legally blind. Moving within the County to a
facility that offers the continuing care model of a CCRC is what we need in the next few years. Given my
familiarity with the area, Diablo Glen offers me maximum independence, while providing support as
needed.
Please take the above to heart as you make your decision concerning Diablo Glen.
My contact information follows should you wish to reach out.
Thank you.

I've lived in Walnut Creek for over 40 years and come to love it. I'd like to stay here, but the only way
that's going to happen is if the Diablo Glen project is approved. Our next (and last move) has to be to a
Life Care Community or CCRC. My husband is a good bit older and we both need the chance to stay
where we are, but "graduate," as needed to assisted living and/or memory care. We also might need
skilled nursing. All of these are provided as part of this kind of community. We also value the planned
activities, transportation and dining options we'll increasingly need as we age. Stoneridge is the only
other viable option, but we know no one in Pleasanton. We'd hate to have to start over at our age, but if
this project isn't approved, we'd have to look at moving, perhaps even to the great facilities in Scottsdale,
AZ, taking with us our savings (and taxes).
This is a well-planned project, the lightest use for the space and attractively designed. The planners have
done several of these and all are successful. So, there is no worry about the project failing. In fact, early
signups have gone way beyond the number that can be accommodated, indicating the serious need in
Walnut Creek. I know the environmental group didn't approve it, but I think they didn't listen closely
enough. The developers plan to put more trees in than are already there. There will be less traffic than
any other development, given that many seniors give up their cars at some point. Proximity to a hospital
is critical for seniors - where else in WC can you get this?
You also have to look at the impact to the County and city if it isn't approved. People love the CCRC
concept - my father lived and died in one in FL and it was the best gift he could have given to us, the
survivors. It simplifies your estate. But importantly, do you wish to lose the tax benefits of the retirees
this place would support, as well as their spending? People who want this kind of living situation will take
their money elsewhere, not continue to stay where they are. But for many, they wish to stay where they
have friends and family, know the area, have access to the amenities. But this is a more affluent group
than most and they will take their money somewhere else if you don't let this project continue. In fact, if
you delay too long, many will have already found other CCRCs to move to.
I beg you to look at the larger picture and understand the value of this project and your resident seniors to
our county.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
I am writing in support of the proposed Diablo Glen Retirement community to be approved for the Seven
Hills Ranch property in Walnut Creek. I have lived in this area since 1992, and love knowing that, if I
choose, I can move to a continuing care retirement community that is near my circle of friends and family
as well as near the nature trails, commercial, cultural and medical offerings that have been part of my life
over the past three decades. Diablo Glen will help fill the need for additional senior hous ing including long
term care, while at the same time not causing a significant impact on the environment. The property is
already designated for development. I am supportive of the approval of this project.

My wife and I fully support the building of Diablo Glen. One of
the arguments that I heard from neighbors at the planning
committee meeting was traffic. Most senior citizens
communities drive one vehicle. Compare that to a family of
four with teenagers. That usually equates to 4 cars. Do senior
citizens speed? NO. Do teenagers? YES. Do senior citizens
play loud music and have parties with loud music and several
cars late into the night? NO. Do young adults? YES. Do senior
citizens make good neighbors? We all know the answer.

Dear Supervisors,
I have lived in the Lamorinda area for the past 50 years and was thrilled to learn about Diablo Glen,
both for its services and its location. Our youngest daughter attended Seven Hills for several years and I
was on their Board several years ago; I treasured the bucolic and peaceful setting of the School. Just as
that setting is ideal for a school, it is also ideal for a retirement community.
Additionally, as Head of The Athenian School in Danville for 17 years, I immediately thought of the
numerous ways in which Seven Hills and Diablo Glen could be mutually supportive and enriching.
As a former high school math teacher, I would love to volunteer as a math helper at Seven Hills a few
times each week, and I am sure that other residents would likewise be enthusiastic about sharing their
talents and strengths with students on a voluntary basis- perhaps with writing, in the garden or library,
with technology, science labs or sports, or with special projects or theme days. Additionally, I envision
Seven Hills' students sharing concerts and plays at Diablo Glen, perhaps practicing a presentation, or
parading in Halloween costumes - all without having to get on a bus!
There is so much value in having meaningful interactions between the two generations.
Thank you for the thoughtful and careful work you do in consideration of new projects. I hope for a
positive outcome in the weeks ahead.
Sincerely,
Eleanor Dase

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
My husband and I want to encourage you to pass the Diablo Glen EIR and move on with this great
project. We hope to be one of the first to move in…perhaps 4 years from now.
We know from personal experience that Continuing Life builds excellent quality communities for seniors
in California. The development, when complete, will be such a benefit for Walnut Creek, providing well
designed, thoughtful housing for active, but older, people. Nothing of this superb quality is available
locally.
We also feel the Diablo Glen development makes excellent use of a tricky, landlocked site. After
completion, the EIR clearly states that it will have less impact on the neighbors than the current zoning
for single family homes.
Best,
Janet and Rick Cronk

Dear Ms. Mitchoff,
I am writing in support of the new Diablo Glen Retirement Community. We are lifelong
Bay Area residents who are eager to make the next move to a more supported
lifestyle. There are so many things that make Diablo Glen the right move for us. We
love Walnut Creek and all the amenities it offers including cultural events, great
shopping, and wonderful restaurants. We have an active lifestyle and the proximity to
Heather Farms Park and the walking trails is a big plus. Another important component
for us is access to the great medical care that Walnut Creek has in abundance.
Walnut Creek is such a central location for visits to San Francisco and other areas of
interest. We would also be close to family while knowing that we would not be a
burden to them as we age.
We were so happy to read that the EIP analysis shows that the project will not cause a
significant effect on the environment. That is important to us. It is also important to
note that as well as preserving 81existing trees, the development will plant 1000 new
trees.
We have looked and looked for senior communities that offer comprehensive housing,
services, amenities, and future care options in one development. Diablo Glen offers all
of that in a beautiful setting. We are excited about having the opportunity to move into
a new community with others who will soon be our new friends and neighbors.
We hope that this community will be approved and built. I believe we will be a great
asset to the community.
Sincerely,

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff:
In 1971, my wife and I first moved to Walnut Creek. I commuted to work by Greyhound bus
from Walnut Creek to San Francisco. We went bowling where a Ross Store is now located.
There was a single screen theater on Main Street. Gemco predated Target. The Coop Market
predated Sprouts. Change happens.
In 1971, I never heard of a continuing care community. We didn’t have children then. Now, our
adult children reside in New York City and San Diego. One of the attributes of a project such as
Diablo Glen is that children need not worry about providing care for aging parents.
There are other local community advantages of Diablo Glen. We have resided in our present
home since 1979, a short distance from the proposed project. It benefits the community to
have younger families move into the neighborhood. The tax base increases. Local schools can
retain faculty and staff with sustained student enrollment. The community retains its vibr ancy.
If we remain in Contra Costa County and chose to reside at a continuing care facility, we seniors
can continue to participate in volunteer organizations. I regularly volunteer for Contra Costa –
Solano Food Bank, White Pony Express, and related acti vities (SIRs, Walnut Creek Seniors,
Kiwanis Club of San Ramon Valley). I am able to serve Contra Costa County on the Assessors
Appeal Board, appointed by the Board of Supervisors as the District IV board member. My wife
and I regularly attend performances at the Lesher Center. Remaining in the community allows
us to continue participating in these activities.
Some of us are at the forefront of the aging “Baby Boomers.” Some seniors are delighted to
age in place. Others move in with family or friends. A continuing care facility is another
alternative that permits seniors to remain in their community, enjoy established connections
with social and religious groups, maintain professional relationships with long -established
health care providers and if needed, have access to three levels of care.
Walnut Creek has evolved over the years. Broadway Plaza was built in 1951 (JC Penny, Sears,
Woolworths, Lucky Supermarket, Joseph Magnin). Rancho San Miguel was built beginning in
1955 (535 homes including 375 Eichlers), across from Heather Farm Park. Northgate High
School opened in 1974. Change happens.
The proposed project both enhances local quality of life and provides economic benefits to the
community.
Sincerely,
Richard Frankel

Thank you for your attention to this very important project for so many seniors in the Bay Area.
I personally am, as I am sure others are, in need of a community like Diablo Glen. As a 75 year old single
woman, I personally will require the interaction and activities with others as I now live alone and no
family capable of tending to my aging needs. It’s a huge plus that Diablo Glen is also a continuing care
community (CCRC).
Diablo Glen will be an essential community for the Walnut Creek area as there are very few CCRC’s in
any nearby cities to the caliber that Diablo Glen will be. I personally was looking to relocate to Walnut
Creek for many reasons: the layout and beauty of the City, the safety, the parks and activities, the

Subject: In Suport of the Diablo Glen Development
Dear Supervisor Karen Mitchoff:
RE: In Suport of the Diablo Glen Development
I don’t usually voice my opinion on developments, but wanted to weigh in to SUPPORT
the Diablo Glen project.
Please approve the Diablo Glen Development. As an older resident of Contra Costa
County, I think a development like the one in Pleasanton is a needed in Walnut Creek.
I’m 67 years old and have friends who would benefit from such a development.
We need it in our community, especially if it is like the CCRC in Pleasanton.
From what I understand, it would have less environmental impact than the approved
use of housing, and better use of the land.
Please approve the Diablo Glen development project.
Thank you.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
Both I and my husband support this CCRC project for many reasons. We would certainly like to live
there at some point. And while we understand the nearby school would prefer to be next to
undeveloped land, sooner or later there will be development and construction disruption, no matter
what kind of housing is built there. Walnut Creek, like all CA communities, must increase housing. The
Spieker project provides density with less traffic and looks like it will be quite attractive.
We attended much of the Planning Commission meeting, read their staff report, and were struck by the
staff’s strong support of the project, so we were very surprised by the Commission’s No vote. I hope you
will give full consideration to the staff report, and to the CCRC developer’s record of creating successful
communities while maintaining excellent relationships with local authorities.
Thank you for your consideration and please vote Yes!

I see the use of the land for this type of development to be far more beneficial for a

Subject: Letter of Support for Diablo Glen Senior Housing Project
Dear Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, and other Supervisors,
I am writing in support of this project because I am personally interested in living here. My husband and
I moved to Concord in 1966 with our two young grade school children. We have lived in several towns in
Central Contra Costa since then and are dedicated to this area and its features and benefits. I am looking
for our retirement home and community.
Sadly, he developed Alzheimer’s disease and now lives in a dedicated Memory Care Facility. This leaves
me in our large two story home. I love my neighborhood and would love to stay here but as I age, I
know that this is not the right place for me as I will 84 on my next birthday. I am active and independent
and am looking forward to living at Diablo Glen when it opens as a wonderful and involved
community. I think the community plan is unique in it’s concept and allows residents to maintain a fully
active, independent and involved life style. It also provides for aging services as needed among your
friends.
I don’t write this letter casually. Because of my husband’s illness, I have spent a lot of time researching
options and have not found anything like Diablo Glen in the Walnut Creek area. My daughter and her
family are in this area. My friends are in this area. The organizations I volunteer for are in this area. I
drive an electric car and want to be able to plug it in! I know this area and consider it my “home town”
and I am excited to be looking forward to moving to Diablo Glen when it opens.
I sincerely hope your analysis supports the benefits and value Diablo Glen will bring to it’s residents,
Walnut Creek, and this area. And I know there are many other residents in this area who agree with
me. Thank you for reading and considering my letter in support of Diablo Glen Community. I’m ready!

We write to voice our support of the Diablo Glen project. We have lived in the Danville/Alamo area for
45 years. We are ready to downsize our home and move to a community for retired people that offers
continuing care.
Diablo Glen is the answer to our search. It will allow us to stay in a community we know well, stay close
to our friends and health care providers and remain active in our church activities. After searching
communities in San Jose and out towards the delta, we were pleased to find that a community has been
proposed in Walnut Creek. We like the scale of Diablo Glen, big enough to make many new friends, but
not so large as to feel like a separate city. It will provide us an opportunity to participate in activities
with our new neighbors and relieve us of many of the duties of homeownership that are getting harder
for us to manage. We especially like the idea of getting help when we need it that a continuing care
community can offer.
We are pleased to see that Diablo Glen will provide senior housing that is so needed in Walnut Creek
and Contra Costa County. We look forward to continuing to enjoy all that Walnut Creek has to offer in
terms of theater, dining and shopping. We are also pleased that Diablo Glen is an infill project rather
than something being built out at the edges of the county.
We are excited to make Diablo Glen our new home and encourage approval of this project.

many of our friends, would like to downsize to Diablo Glen, where we could live in comfort with the
security in knowing all our current and future needs would be met. We have lived all our 55 years of
married life in Walnut Creek and Orinda and would happily sell our home if we could live in a place like
Diablo Glen. There are no other options in our area that we would consider. We would not leave our
friends and children to move to another area thus we would live out our lives in our current home if we
did not have a Diablo Glen option. We think this project would be a win for seniors and Contra Costa.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
I'd like to express my support for the new Diablo Glen project proposed for Walnut Creek. I have had
the pleasure to experience one of the other retirement communities built by Spieker and it is quite
impressive. Not only do they do a great job planning the building with careful consideration of the
surroundings, but the care that they offer to seniors is outstanding.
I also reflect on this senior housing use compared to medium density housing and folks living nearby or
children at the school nearby will be impacted by construction either way. This senior housing use has
much less long-term impact (e.g. traffic) compared to medium density housing.

I urge the Board of Supervisors to approve the Diablo Glen. I have been a Contra Costa County resident
for 50 years and have always appreciated the County’s measured, considered supervision of
development during that time. As indicated in the Final EIR, Diablo Glen has mitigated any significant
adverse impacts of its planned development. The loud, redundant NIMBY opposition from a
neighboring school’s parents should not deter the Board from approval of a worthy project.
Adequate housing for our existing and emerging population has been identified by state and local
entities as a problem that needs a solution. Projects like Diablo Glen are a practical, necessary part of a
multi-prong approach to this public policy issue. The State of Californai has mandated that local entities
increase the density of their housing to permit more available housing. Projects like Diablo Glen will
allow seniors like us to downsize, move into more efficient and ecological housing, make our existing
homes available to other families and, importantly, remain in the Contra Costa community with our long
time friends and family.
Thank you for your continuing service to the citizens of our county.

Dear Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors-
We are hopeful of moving to Walnut Creek and Diablo Glen when/if construction is allowed to proceed.
It appears that the Planning Commission hearing was a one-sided exercise in NIMBY. The findings of the
EIR seem largely to have been ignored. If that document had been highlighted at the Planning
Commission meeting, the NIMBY folks would not have had a leg to stand on. The EIR states that, if the
property is to change usage, the development of a CCRC such as Diablo Glen causes far fewer
disruptions to the community than most other alternate uses. Plus, it increases the tax base far more
than most other uses, especially compared to if the school owned the property.
If you are going to ignore the findings of the EIR, why bother to have an EIR developed in the first
place? Because it is required. Why? The findings are there to guide decision-makers in reaching
informed decisions, free, as much as possible, from vested interests. Granted, we have a vested
interest, but ours is supported by the EIR.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
We strongly urge you to support the Spieker project at Diablo
Glen. We are 70 years old and have lived in the East Bay for
more than 30 years. We would like to stay in this area in a
community that supports independent living as long as possible,
with the guarantee of long term care when necessary. There are
many excellent CCRC’s in Southern California, Arizona, and
Florida and other locations, but the choices are very limited in
Northern California. The location of Diablo Glen will allow us
to stay close to our friends, family, and medical support in the
Bay Area. Life Care Communities such as Diablo Glen are a
benefit to the community, and we support Spieker in their effort
to provide a necessary service to make aging more enjoyable
and comfortable.

Diablo Glen as a Life plan community has all the key and critical aspects

Walnut Creek.
Please support the Diablo Glen venture for the betterment of all. Thank you!

This is a request for a vote in favor of the Diablo Glen project. It will be a Life Care Plan
A community. To me that is peace of mind. I would no longer have to worry about who was going to care
for me as I advance in age. What a release of a major concern! Once admitted to Diablo Glen, residents
will be taken care of until the end of their lives. There are very few Life Care communities in the Bay
Area. The offer of lifetime care with no increase in cost when transitioning to a higher level of care is a
valuable opportunity for senior citizens. Please vote in acceptance of Diablo Glen.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Although we are not Contra Costa County residents, we would very much like to be. My wife and I are
looking at Continuing Care Residential Communities in the Bay Area.
We have seen what the proposed Diablo Glen project has to offer, and as seniors,we would benefit
greatly. We have read the FEIR report, and reviewed the design plans for the housing units. We believe
this project will be a welcome addition to your community, with little, to no negative impact. The
proposed retirement community includes plans to plant over 1,000 new trees. While it is true that trees
(including many non-native and highly combustible eucalyptus trees) are being removed to facilitate the
project’s construction, the project was designed around 81 protected and preserved trees, including all
of the major valley oaks.
Diablo Glen would give us the opportunity to downsize, provide us with high quality care, home
maintenance, restaurants and fitness amenities. It will allow us to remain in the vibrant Bay Area we live
in and love.
Please consider approving the Diablo Glen project. Thank you for taking the time to read our email.

As soon as we heard about Diablo Glen, we knew this would be the perfect place for us to continue the
next phase of our lives and repeat the experience we have had living in Trilogy, an over-55 development,
in Brentwood. In these days when the large population of baby boomers are thinking of where best to
spend their final years, there are precious few places that offer complete care from independent living
through memory care, if needed. Diablo Glen appears to fit that mold with a bonus of being situated
near a renown medical facility, a large community park and a vibrant city. Diablo Glen will be tucked
away in a quiet corner of Walnut Creek but still close enough for us to contribute to the Bay Area
economy through shopping, entertainment, and sports venues. We envision forming golf groups, bocce
and pickleball clubs, card groups, etc. to produce an active community with our independent living
neighbors. We sincerely encourage you to vote in favor of Diablo Glen and give us that opportunity.

Please approve Diablo Glen continuing life development. I believe that there is a large demand by the
Walnut Creek retirement community to have a place to live where there are three levels of support. This
will allow us to live in independent living until we might need more support. My parents lived in
Paradise Valley in Fairfield and one of the more important benefits for our family was that my father
could continue to live in independent living while my mother was in temporary skilled nursing allowing
him to visit her with just a short walk to her skilled nursing home.
Please approve the development

Subject: Diablo Glen Life Plan Community
Dear Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors,
I was so excited when I learned that the Diablo Glen Life Plan
Community was to be built in Walnut Creek. As a healthy, adult,
nearing the age of eighty (80), I have been searching for an
environment which meets my personal, philosophical and
medical/health needs ( which are minimal at this time).
The Spieker Senior Communities offer independence, as well as,
assistance for the ever-growing needs of the aging senior population.
Having access to skilled nursing onsite is a bonus, for if and when it is
needed.
Contra Costa County and specifically Walnut Creek are very
familiar to me. In 1973, I moved to Masters Ct, just off Marchbanks and
immediately felt at home. I later was offered a nursing position at John
Muir Medical Center and have remained in this county until the present
time.
Spieker has the senior population in mind when they developed
their communities. My ideal apartment would be a one bedroom with
den and 1 ½ baths, which have been available at other Spieker
properties., but not easily found elsewhere.
The fundamental importance of physical well-being and an
environment that is mentally stimulating is necessary for all individuals,
especially seniors. Interaction with other people, whether at mealtime
or social and intellectual situations is vital to maintaining a healthy
attitude.
It is my hope that ALL of this will be accomplished at the Diablo
Glen Life Plan Community.

Dear Supervisors:
According to the New York Times, 26% of young families, first time home buyers, are unable to find
homes to buy, because older people are staying in their outgrown homes. As we baby boomers march
into old age in legion numbers, we need places to go, places that will be as well-built and well-managed
as Diablo Glen will be. It will be a Rolls-Royce of senior living communities, an enhancement to Walnut
Creek even as it offers a life solution to local seniors who want to stay in this area. My husband and I
have lived here for thirty-one years and consider this area to be as close to perfect as anyone could
find. We don’t want to have to move away in order to down-size with a care option as we need to do.
Please approve this much needed housing solution.

Subject: Please Approve Diablo Glen Project
Dear Ms. Mitchoff,
We write to provide our input regarding approval of the proposed D iablo Glen project in
Walnut Creek.
My wife and I are 78 and 80 years old respectively. We have lived in Orinda since 1971
and are now giving serious consideration to the "next chapter" of our lives. We were
delighted to learn about the Diablo Glenn project and are on its list of future residents.
We believe that the Diablo Glen project provides the best option in Contra Costa County
for active seniors who are looking for a community to live out their final years. As you
know, it is a Type A Life Plan Community, which provides all three types of long-term
care (assisted living, memory care, and long-term care in a skilled nursing center.) The
fact that it contains both individual "villas" (houses) and condominium-type apartments,
as well as restaurants, work-out facilities, swimming pool, and easy/immediate access
to medical care, makes it a very unusual and appealing option for seniors in the East
Bay.
While we recognize and understand many of the concerns of neighbors in the area, we
believe these concerns can be resolved in large measure by the mitigation measures
discussed by the developer and county staff.
We believe that Contra Costa County, our home for more than fift y years, needs to
provide well-designed living projects with memory and nursing care for its seniors. Many
of our friends in Orinda are on the waiting list for this project, and we have signed up
because we believe it provides the best option for us to live out our remaining years. We
believe that the extraordinary benefits of this project for the entire County far outweigh
any of the concerns expressed by those opposed.
We strongly urge the Board of Supervisors to approve this project. Thank you for
providing us the opportunity to provide our thoughts.

Ladies and gentlemen,
My wife Ana and I, Ramon Mendez, currently living in Texas want to let you
know our support for the development and construction of the Diablo Glen
community in your county. We are both in our eighties and as we age we want to
move and live close to our daughter Ana who has been a resident of your county for
over 25 years. She and her family currently live in Pleasant Hill and a move to the
future Diablo Glen community will be an ideal place for us to spend our final years
close to them. In addition to its development as a beautiful continuing care
community we believe Diablo Glen will bring other financial and community benefits
to the city of Walnut Creek and the Contra Costa county.
Sincerely,
Ramon and Ana Mendez

Dear Contra Costa Planning Commissioners,
My name is Wallace Woo. I am a past Planning Commissioner of Contra Costa in the
late eighties and early nineties until we moved to Oakland in 1994
I’m a retiree of the Federal EPA with 41 years in the EPA
One of my divisions duties while with the EPA was to review and comment on EIS’s, the
equivalent of EIRs for federal projects
My review of the Diablo Glen EIR shows that it is a very well written document covering
all the required regulatory and legal bases for an EIR
Not only is the document well developed and written but the Diablo Glen Continuing
Care Retirement Community project is one that is dearly needed in the county as the
general populations longevity continue to grow
Furthermore the environmental impacts associated with this project is cons iderably less
then that of any of the alternative projects that could be located there
Because of all those reasons I strongly urge you to approve the Diablo Glen CCRC
Respectfully
Wallace Woo
Dear Supervisor Mitchoff (with copies to the other supervisors),
We are looking forward to the opportunity to live for the rest of our lives in Walnut Creek, particularly in a
gracious residence like Diablo Glen, where we can have continuing care, if we n eed it. We have been
residents of Lafayette for almost 28 years; we love this region; we have woven strong community here,
and we want to stay.
Your support of developing Diablo Glen will help fill an major gap for seniors, including some who have
limited income. No matter what is built on the existing property, there will be impacts on the
neighborhood, but a CCR community will have major advantages over single-family homes (shorter build-
out time, less vehicle traffic -- and a community of potential volunteers for schools and other non-profits).
We are excited about Diablo Glen, and impressed by the management team. We urge your support.
Thank you,
Les and Sue Polgar

My name is Vicki Englert. My husband, Joe, and I resided in Lafayette for many years. We raised
our three sons on Los Arabis Dr. Our boys attended Vallecito, Happy Valley, Stanley and Acalanes
and received fine educations at these terrific public schools. All five of us were deeply involved in
the community. Joe and I served on various City boards and our sons were active in swimming,
water polo, football and soccer. I was a LAMORINDA residential realtor for 16 years and Joe
commuted to San Francisco where he practiced law. After raising our sons we retired, sold our
home and moved to a condo in Tiburon where we have enjoyed a leisurely lifestyle since.
I have so many long-time local friends who are planning on moving to Diablo Glen My only regret
is that it is taking so long to complete the project. Most of us are ready to move in yesterday. My
husband, Joe, died last year after a long illness. I am THRILLED to be on the Wait List of this
amazing new project in Walnut Creek that I hope, and trust, you will be approving today. To move
back to Contra Costa County will feel like ‘going home’ again.
I would also like you to know that I have several friends who reside at Stoneridge Creek, the
retirement community that Spieker Senior Continuing Care Community completed several years
ago in Pleasanton. To a person, each one of them can’t believe how fortunate they are to live in such
an upscale, gorgeous place. They joke it is “one step away from heaven.”
Please see fit to approve all changes today. We Seniors are ready, willing and able to add even
more good things to Walnut Creek and Contra Costa County. Just wait until you experience what
amazing Volunteers we can be! You won’t be sorry for welcoming us.
Respectfully,
Vicki Englert

Subject: I Support the Diablo Glen project
Dear Supervisor Mitchoff
Thank you for the opportunity to express my support for the Diablo Glen project. With full
disclosure, my wife and I intend to move into the project when and if it is completed. Both of our
parents have lived in senior residential communities and we have observed their benefits for both the
seniors and their families. In our case, Diablo Glen offers a level of support and services that we could
not afford if we were living at home. Additionally it allows us to live near our children and grandchildren
in a safe and healthy environment.
Aside from our own personal benefits from the project there are a number of community benefits that
would be gained.
1. Initially zoned for 160 medium density homes, the Diablo Glen project will be a much more
effective and environmentally sensitive use of the property. I believe that is why the property’s
owners chose Diablo Glen for the property’s development.
2. Diablo Glen brings a very positive economic benefit to the community both in terms of additions
to the property tax base and job creations.
3. Diablo Glen and its residents will be less impactful on the community’s infrastructure ( roads
and schools) than single family housing.
4. Senior residences make good neighbors. They are quiet communities and they are respectful of
the neighbors and their neighbors’ property. They are good stewards of their own property.
Many seniors use their retirement time to volunteer in their communities.
5. Diablo Glen adds to the housing inventory in a critically needed demographic sector. The
number of seniors (80 years and older) is expected to triple in the next 30 years (National
Institute of Heath). Additional senior housing will be need to meet this growth.
Again thank you for this opportunity to express my support for Diablo Glen. I would urge you and your
fellow supervisors to approve this needed, responsible and beneficial project.
Respectfully,
Bob Cookson

Good morning, Supervisor Mitchoff,
I am asking for your support and that of the other county supervisors to approve the permit to build
the Diablo Glen retirement community. I am one of many seniors who want the peace of mind to move
into a place where I will be able to stay for the rest of my life. I have been looking for a retirement
community that provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all in the
same facility. There are NO others in Contra Costa County.
Diablo Glen promises to be a beautiful community that preserves natural features as well as adding to
the economic well being of Contra Costa County.
Please vote in support of Diablo Glen! Thank you.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
I am writing today in support of the Spieker Senior Project. I want to provide a bit of our family
background, and the reasons why my wife and I support this project.
My wife was born and raised in Walnut Creek. I moved with my parents to Walnut Creek when I was
entering high school. After college, my wife worked for a real estate management firm in Lafayette, and
a construction firm in Concord. I worked for two civil engineering firms in Walnut Creek at the start of
my career. Ultimately, with two partners, I founded a civil engineering firm in 1989 with our office
located in Bishop Ranch, San Ramon. Though my partners and I have all retired, the firm is still thriving
and has designed and processed many projects in Contra Costa County.
Now, my wife and I are at the stage where we are considering retirement communities in which to live.
We have considered Rossmoor, but we are uncomfortable because the vast majority of housing options
in Rossmoor are constructed as multiple level living units. We desire a single level home for mobility and
safety reasons. All residential units of the Spieker Senior Project will be single level.
The main draw for us is the assisted living / memory care facility that will be located right on campus. To
give you some background, both of our mothers needed to move to assisted living facilities prior to
passing away. There were no assisted living facilities located within 5 miles of our parents’ homes in
which they had lived for decades. Our fathers, at advanced ages, needed to drive on I-680 to go visit
their spouses. Needless to say, this was a nerve wracking experience. The assisted living facility at the
Spieker Senior Project will be within walking distance of our residence.
It is my understanding that the subject property is zoned as medium density residential; it is not
considered Open Space. My wife and I still drive, but nowhere near as much as we used to with
commutes, school drop off / pick up, youth sports etc. The proposed project is also going to provide a
shuttle service, which we would utilize, to various points in Walnut Creek, such as Broadway Shopping
Center, BART, the Lesher Theater, etc. The Spieker Senior Project should have substantially less traffic
impact on the neighboring community than a traditional medium density residential community.
For these reasons, from a personal point of view, we are looking forward to being a part of the Spieker
Community when it is open for new residents.
From a regional point of view, it is well known that the entire Bay Area suffers from a shortage of
housing, both affordable and market rate, which has led to unsustainably high real estate prices. This is
constantly in the news, and is considered the number one problem by many Bay Area residents. If and
when this project is approved and built, my wife and myself, along with the other 350 residents, will sell
our current homes, making them available for the next generation of families to occupy. This will not
solve the Bay Area housing crisis, but it will make a positive contribution.
For all of these reasons, I support the Spieker Senior Project, and I am hoping that the Board of
Supervisors will approve the project.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Barbee

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff -- I am a Pre-Construction Depositor at Diablo Glen, and I am writing to urge
you and your colleagues to approve Diablo Glen's application currently before the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors.
I have been a resident of Walnut Creek for more than 30 years, during which time I have owned my
own home. My domestic partner and I live in a home that was built in 1966 and that has 4 bedrooms, 3
bathrooms, and a significantly-sized "bonus room". We have a backyard with fruit trees, shrubs and
roses, and a view of Mt. Diablo. If we are able to move into Diablo Glen, our home will be available for
sale to a younger family with children, eager to take advantage of our home's domestic and outdoor
space, the community amenities, and the excellent school system.
My partner and I are both retired lawyers. I have been a volunteer and donor for many years for the
Walnut Creek-based Meals on Wheels Diablo Region. I am also a Contra Costa County HICAP Volunteer
Medicare Counselor, registered with the State of California, providing advice and counsel to people who
have, or who are eligible to have, Medicare. ("HICAP" stands for Health Insurance Counseling and
Advocacy Program. The office is located in Pleasant Hill.) Through my volunteer activities and
interactions with people I help, I understand how fortunate I am to be able to own my own home when
so many cannot. I want to continue to live in this community and serve this community.
My partner and I are both 76 years old. If Diablo Glen is approved and built, I expect we will be
almost 80 years old by the time we can move in. Our house is 55 years old, and as it and we age, the
demands for maintenance and repair will likely increase in both complexity and expense. At age 80, I
know I would be very relieved not to have any further maintenance worries regarding my domicile. This
is especially true in an environment when earthquakes and wildfires can cause expensive damage and
leave the house inhabitable for weeks or months until repairs are completed.
Also, at age 80, it is reasonable to assume that we may need access to the type of medical care that
seniors use most. We are long-time Kaiser members, and we expect to continue to be. Living at Diablo
Glen won't interfere with that membership. But neither Kaiser nor Medicare cover long term care or
memory care, both of which will be available (and included, at no extra charge) at Diablo Glen. No other
senior facility in this area is a comprehensive life plan community, the way Stoneridge Creek is in
Pleasanton and as Diablo Glen will be. In an era when long term care insurance is either unaffordable or
unavailable, the availability of long term care services at Diablo Glen gives me great peace of mind.
I understand that the land in question is already zoned residential, and the alternative to Diablo
Glen is a plot of some 60 single family homes. Considering that Diablo Glen will house more than 100
households (presumably leaving a comparable number of local single family homes available for
purchase), Diablo Glen seems to be the better option in terms of increasing housing supply. The Diablo
Glen project is, in my opinion, the best possible residential use of that land. I urge you and your fellow
Supervisors to approve this valuable project and bring it to life as soon as possible.

From: Robert and Terry Johnston. Diablo Glen depositors and residents of Walnut Creek
We moved to California after college in 1963 and I started my career in Public Accounting with a
firm in Walnut Creek. Three years later we bought our first home on Los Felicas Avenune in
Walnut Creek which is in Rancho San Miguel across from Heather Farms Park and very close to
the Diablo Glen project. We moved to Via Verde in Walnut Creek eight years later and are still
living in that home. So, we have lived in Ygnacio Valley in WC for 56 years.
I have been very active in Walnut Creek as a CPA and Terry and I have been very involved in
various organizations in Walnut Creek and the East Bay. I was also Treasurer in Dick
Hildebrand’s campaign for WC City Council and the early campaigns for Richard Rainey. Terry
has been a teacher in the Mt. Diablo system and she also spent years working in human
resources.
We love Walnut Creek and California. We are very pleased that Spieker Properties have
identified a wonderful property right in Ygnacio Valley close to where we have lived for so long
and close to our three children and two grandchildren. Also, close to our doctors, other health
care providers, John Muir hospital and ER and JM Urgent Care not to mention friends for almost
a life time.
This project will contain 354 Independent living units and a health care center for 100 residents
as well as a memory care unit. We feel a sense of well being knowing that whatever type of
housing we need will be available to each of us at Diablo Glen.
Since almost all of the current depositors are from the Bay Area that means that close to 354
homes in the Bay Area will be available to others as the owners will sell their homes as they
move to Diablo Glenn. It is not a secret that California and the Bay Area especially, needs more
housing.
We believe this project fills a big need in our community and is beneficial in so many different
ways including providing employment for over 200 people.
Thank you for your positive consideration of this project.

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
I am writing in favor of moving forward with the Diablo Glen Project. We moved to Walnut Creek in
1975, purchasing the home we live in still. After 47 years here, we are deeply invested in the
community we are part of. We have been involved in the schools, recreational sports, scouting, bond
and parcel tax campaigns, and since retirement, have continued to be involved through volunteering at
various agencies and organizations. Additionally, many of us provide care for our grandchildren who
also live locally, providing much needed support. As seniors, we have a wealth of experience and the
time to share it with others at different life stages. Walnut Creek needs to have a vibrant mix of
residents, from young to old, to continue to be the thriving, inclusive city it is.
Both of our parents moved to Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC), one in Fairfield CA and
one in Charlotte NC, so we can attest to the benefit these communities offer not only to the seniors
residing there, but to their families who take on the responsibility of caring for them at some point.
Those of us who are in support of Diablo Glen are looking forward to putting our homes on the market,
making them available to young families, and moving to a community such as Diablo Glen that provides
independence in the short term with long term care, as needed.
Growth is challenging, change can be hard to accept; anyone who has lived in this area as long as we
have can agree on that. But I am always thankful that I live in Walnut Creek, a city that has made
decisions to meet the needs of a diverse population. I would encourage the Board of Supervisors to
weigh heavily the overall benefit Diablo Glen can provide to the larger community of Walnut Creek by
keeping an engaged senior population as residents.
Thank you for your consideration-

Dear Supervisor Mitchoff,
My name is Cheng L Liao. As formal president and longtime board member of CAPA (Chinese American
Political Association), I’m proud to say that I’ve met 4 of the 5 Supervisors (except Supervisor Burgis) and
many other elected officials at various local, county, and state functions. We thank your hard work in
making our county such a great place to live.
My wife and I have lived in this county for 44 years! We’ve worked here, grown our family here, and
involved in community service and developed community friends here. In fact, many of our CAPA and
community friends become depositors of the Diablo Glen CCRC Project. As of today, 1500 people have
made deposit and are supporting Diablo Glen. The reason? We LOVE our lives here, and we want to
RETIRE LOCALLY, here!!
I received my Ph.D. degree from UCLA in the field of Biochemistry-Toxicology. I then post-doc 2 years at
UC Berkeley and 2 years at UC San Francisco, before joining California EPA as Staff Toxicologist. For
nearly 30 years at CalEPA, one of my major responsibilities was reviewing and approving human health
and ecological risk assessment as part of the EIR submitted by industrial companies and facilities.
Several years after my retirement from CalEPA, I applied, interviewed by you and Supervisor Andersen,
and honored to be selected as Public Member of CC County’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Advisory Committee. I served in 2013 and 2014.
I’ve read Diablo Glen's EIR; I found the document to be well written and has covered fully all the
required elements. At the Oct 26 virtual meeting, I found some of the planning commissioners were
confused by the technical aspects of the EIR.
Some opposing the Diablo Glen project cited traffic as a problem. They must have forgotten that this is
to be a retirement community; as such, it would produce far less car traffic as compared to a regular
residential development.
Thus, Dear Supervisor Mitchoff, I’m here to urge you and your fellow Supervisors to approve the Diablo
Glen CCRC project near John Muir Hospital. Thank you very much!

Subject: SUPPORT FOR APPROVAL OF DIABLO GLEN RETIREMENT COMMUNITY
Dear Ms. Mitchoff
My husband and I are writing in support of the Diablo Glen Retirement Community that is up for
approval before you and your fellow CCC Supervisors on Tuesday, November 29th. We would
be appearing in person to show our whole-hearted support. However, as is too often the case of
retirees, we have conflicting and long-standing difficult-to-schedule medical procedures on that
day. Nevertheless, we believe it is very important to stress to you and the Board the importance
of approving this long sought and desired project.
My husband and I are 22 year residents of Contra Costa County, currently residing in Walnut
Creek. Our doctors and dentists are here; our friends are here; our church is here; our history is
here. As we grow older, our needs are changing. We have been actively looking at CCC
communities outside California and the Bay Area, having found nothing that seems to meet our
needs in this local area. If we must move away from our current support system, we might as
well move out of state where the cost of living is far, far lower and more friendly to retirees. It
makes no sense for us to "reinvent the wheel" in this state, unless we are able to stay in our
immediate area which has been home to us for almost a quarter of a century.
The Diablo Glen project is the answer to our needs: it will allow us to stay in a community that
we know and love. Moreover, it will add to the stock of retirement facilities CCC will find
more and more important as the years go by and the population ages. In the strongest terms, we
urge you to approve the Diablo Glen Community project. We have found the Streiker
Organization to be very competent, thoughtful and to have the needs of seniors in mind. Your
approval will be a win-win-win for everyone. Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,

RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. OPEN the public hearing on Ordinance No. 2022-27, RECEIVE testimony, and CLOSE the public hearing.
2. ADOPT Ordinance No. 2022-27, an urgency ordinance extending a moratorium on the establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers,
parcel hubs, and parcel sorting facilities in the North Richmond area through November 29, 2023.
3. DETERMINE that adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-27 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).
4. DIRECT staff to file a CEQA Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk-Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On January 18, 2022, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2022-06, an urgency interim ordinance that established a moratorium on
the establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs and parcel sorting facilities (collectively and individually, "Heavy
Distribution") in the unincorporated North Richmond area. This urgency ordinance, Ordinance No. 2022-27, extends the temporary moratorium
on Heavy Distribution uses to November 29, 2023, while the County continues developing reasonable regulations to mitigate the impacts for
such uses.
The issue stems from rapid expansion of e-commerce in recent years and need for local fulfillment centers and operations. The North Richmond
area particularly has seen a proliferation of these types of uses. As a result, the North Richmond area faces increased truck traffic and the
following related adverse impacts: increased safety risk to smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; increased damage to streets; and traffic
congestion and reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and increased emissions and air quality impacts.

Subject:Consider Urgency Ordinance No. 2022-27
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Staff has identified additional concerns that the cumulative impacts caused by the increase in Heavy Distribution in the North Richmond
Area have not been sufficiently considered and analyzed given that Heavy Distribution often operates on a 24-hour basis and may cause
deteriorating air quality, health, noise, vibration, and other disruptions to peace and quiet that may impact surrounding sensitive uses, such
as schools and residences. The North Richmond community has been designated by the California Air Resources Board and Bay Area Air
Quality Management District as one of only 15 communities in California to be part of State Assembly Bill (AB) 617's Community Air
Protection Program. Under current County regulations, Heavy Distribution is consistent with the existing General Plan industrial land use
designations in the North Richmond Area, and is permitted within the North Richmond P-1 district. DCD staff is considering a zoning text
amendment to the North Richmond P-1 district to address the individual and cumulative impacts of Heavy Distribution through appropriate
locational criteria and traffic and air quality impact mitigation requirements.
Extending this temporary moratorium on Heavy Distribution uses will allow staff an opportunity to consider a zoning text amendment to the
North Richmond P-1 District that takes into account these issues. A threat to the public health, safety, and welfare would result if Heavy
Distribution type land-use entitlements or building permits are accepted and approved under the existing North Richmond P-1 District. The
failure to extend this temporary moratorium may result in significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in
the North Richmond Area that may not be adequately analyzed or mitigated.

Adoption of the proposed urgency interim ordinance is exempt from CEQA because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of the
ordinance will not have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed ordinance would extend a temporary moratorium on the
establishment or expansion of a land use activity that might otherwise affect the environment. See CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(3).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The failure to extend the moratorium may result in significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in the
North Richmond Area from new or expanded Heavy Distribution land uses.

ORDINANCE NO. 2022-27
URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCE EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON HEAVY
DISTRIBUTION LAND USE DEVELOPMENT IN THE NORTH RICHMOND AREA
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows:
SECTION I. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
A. The purpose of this urgency ordinance is to extend a temporary moratorium on the
establishment or expansion of fulfillment centers, parcel hubs, and parcel sorting
facilities in the North Richmond Area while the County considers developing reasonable
regulations to address the individual and cumulative impacts caused by those uses.
B. The area of North Richmond is the area located within the boundaries of the North
Richmond P-1 (Planned Unit) District adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December
12, 1994 (the “North Richmond Area”). The North Richmond P-1 District encompasses
the entire North Richmond community.
C. The North Richmond Area is designated in the County General Plan primarily for heavy
industrial and light industrial land uses, but also includes areas designated for residential
and public space land uses. Existing industrial land uses in the North Richmond Area
consist of floricultural growing operations, distribution operations, recycling and auto
dismantling operations, a resource recovery facility, and a water reclamation facility.
D. The North Richmond Area also includes an elementary school, single- and multi-family
dwellings, parks and recreation, open space, and an urban farm outdoor education center
for at-risk youth. Many of these uses are adjacent to or located near the industrial land
uses in the North Richmond Area.
E. Due to the recent and rapid expansion of e-commerce in recent years and need for local
fulfillment centers and operations, the North Richmond Area has seen a significant
increase in fulfillment centers, parcel hubs, and parcel sorting facilities (collectively and
individually, “Heavy Distribution”). A “fulfillment center” is a facility where the
primary purpose is storage and distribution of e-commerce products to consumers or end-
users, either directly or through a parcel hub. A “parcel hub” is a last mile facility or
similar facility where the primary purpose is the processing or redistribution of parcels or
products, primarily by moving a shipment from one mode of transport to a vehicle with a
rated capacity of less than 10,000 pounds, for delivery directly to consumers or end-users.
A “parcel sorting facility” is a facility where the primary purpose is the sorting or
redistribution of parcels or products from a fulfillment center to a parcel hub.
F. With this increase in Heavy Distribution, residents and businesses within the North
Richmond Area face increased truck traffic and the following related adverse impacts:
increased safety risk to smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; increased damage to
streets; traffic congestion and reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and
increased emissions and air quality impacts.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-27
2
G. The Board of Supervisors has additional concerns that the cumulative impacts caused by
the increase in Heavy Distribution in the North Richmond Area have not been
sufficiently considered and analyzed given that Heavy Distribution often operates on a
24-hour basis and may cause deteriorating air quality, health, noise, vibration, and other
disruptions to peace and quiet that may impact surrounding sensitive uses, such as
schools and residences. As with current industrial uses located in the North Richmond
Area, new or expanded Heavy Distribution uses may be located adjacent to or near
sensitive uses, such as schools and residences.
H. The North Richmond community has been designated by the California Air Resources
Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District as one of only 15 communities
in California to be part of State Assembly Bill (AB) 617’s Community Air Protection
Program. The purpose of this program is to reduce emissions exposure in California’s
communities that are most impacted by air pollution. A community steering committee
has been established to guide the development of a Community Emissions Reduction
Program to improve air quality in North Richmond, Richmond, and San Pablo. The
current proliferation of Heavy Distribution uses in the North Richmond Area without
appropriate evaluation is inconsistent with AB617’s goal of reducing harmful particulate
matter emissions in the State’s most heavily impacted communities.
I. The Board of Supervisors has determined that Heavy Distribution has potentially
detrimental impacts upon the North Richmond community that are not addressed by the
County’s current General Plan and zoning regulations. Under these current regulations,
Heavy Distribution is consistent with the existing General Plan industrial land use
designations in the North Richmond Area and is permitted within the North Richmond P-
1 District. There is a need to study and develop policies to address various individual and
cumulative impacts associated with Heavy Distribution. Specifically, there is a need for
additional locational criteria and traffic and air quality impact mitigation requirements to
protect businesses, residents, and other sensitive uses in the North Richmond Area.
J. The Department of Conservation and Development is considering a zoning text
amendment to the North Richmond P-1 District to address the individual and cumulative
impacts of Heavy Distribution.
K. On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 2021-43, an
urgency interim ordinance that established a moratorium on Heavy Distribution land use
development in the North Richmond Area. On January 18, 2022, the Board adopted
Ordinance No. 2022-06, extending the moratorium for 10 months and 15 days.
L. This ordinance, extending the moratorium for another year, is necessary to proceed with
an orderly planning process that takes into account consideration of the zoning text
amendment for the North Richmond P-1 District. A threat to the public health, safety,
and welfare would result if Heavy Distribution land use entitlements or building permits
are accepted and approved under the existing North Richmond P-1 District. If Heavy
Distribution land uses are allowed in the North Richmond Area under the existing North
Richmond P-1 District, they could conflict with and defeat the purpose of the
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-27
3
contemplated zoning text amendment. The failure to extend the moratorium during the
stated period may result in significant irreversible impacts to businesses, residents, and
other sensitive uses in the North Richmond Area that would not be adequately analyzed
or mitigated.
SECTION II. EXTENSION. The existing moratorium established by Ordinance No. 2021-43,
and extended by Ordinance No. 2022-06, is extended for one year, through November 29, 2023.
SECTION III. PROHIBITION. The existing moratorium on certain development in the
North Richmond Area is extended as follows:
(a) While this interim ordinance is in effect, no new Heavy Distribution land use shall be
established and no existing Heavy Distribution land use shall be expanded within the
North Richmond Area, except as otherwise provided in Section IV. No applications for a
land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution shall be accepted or
processed, and no land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution shall be
approved or issued, for any parcel or portion of a parcel located within the North
Richmond Area.
(b) This moratorium applies to the North Richmond Area, which is the area located within
the boundaries of the North Richmond P-1 District, as shown on Exhibit A, which is
attached and incorporated by reference.
SECTION IV. EXEMPTIONS. The prohibition set forth in Section III does not apply to any
application for a land use entitlement or building permit for Heavy Distribution that has been
deemed complete by the Department of Conservation and Development as of December 14,
2021.
SECTION V. REPORTS. In accordance with subdivision (d) of Government Code section
65858, ten days before the expiration of this ordinance and any extension of it, the Department of
Conservation and Development shall file with the Clerk of this Board a written report describing
the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of this urgency interim
ordinance.
SECTION VI. SEVERABILITY. If any provision or clause of this ordinance or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances is held to be unconstitutional or to be
otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other
ordinance provisions or clauses or applications thereof that can be implemented without the
invalid provision or clause or application, and to this end the provisions and clauses of this
ordinance are declared to be severable.
SECTION VII. DECLARATION OF URGENCY. This interim ordinance is hereby declared
to be an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public safety, health, and
welfare of the County, and it shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. The facts
constituting the urgency of this interim ordinance’s adoption are set forth in Section I.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-27
4
SECTION VIII. EFFECTIVE PERIOD. This ordinance becomes effective immediately upon
passage by four-fifths vote of the Board of Supervisors and shall continue in effect for a period
of one year, through November 29, 2023, pursuant to Government Code section 65858.
SECTION IX. PUBLICATION. Within 15 days of passage, this ordinance shall be published
once with the names of the supervisors voting for and against it in the East Bay Times, a
newspaper published in this County.

Subject:APPROVE the San Pablo Dam Road and Bailey Road Signal Hardware Upgrades Project and take related actions under CEQA
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County (County) Public Works Department proposes to upgrade signal hardware and signage at eleven priority locations
described above to improve public safety by: 1) providing better advance visibility of intersection signals for drivers, 2) reducing red light
violation frequency, 3) enhancing the pedestrian countdown signal, 4) discouraging jaywalking. The proposed improvements include: 1)
replacing signal back plates, signal heads, mounts, street name signs, and controllers, 2) installing video detection cameras, 3) installing
pedestrian countdown signal heads on existing poles. No right of way acquisitions or temporary construction easements, utility relocations,
ground disturbance, or vegetation removal are anticipated. Temporary traffic controls are anticipated, and emergency vehicles will have full
access. Appropriate best management practices for water pollution control (i.e., drainage inlet protection) will be implemented during
construction. Installation of upgrades is anticipated to occur in spring/summer 2023 and will take approximately 40 working days.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CEQA clearance is a requirement for the state funded Highway Safety Improvement Program grant eligibility. If this clearance is not
obtained, this project will not be eligible for funding and the needed traffic and pedestrian safety improvements will not be installed.

WHEREAS, more than 65 million family caregivers in the United States demonstrate their Courage to Care
everyday by providing some form of in-home care to a parent, grandparent, child, aunt or uncle;

WHEREAS, the work of In-Home caregivers often goes unnoticed as do the financial struggles caregivers
and their families experience in order to provide this lifeline service to those in need;
WHEREAS, the number of family and non-family members requiring in-home care will drastically increase
as the number of Americans who are 65 years of age and older is expected to double in the next 30 years;
WHEREAS, in order to meet the future demands of caregiving, we must ensure a stable workforce by
recognizing today the important contributions In-Home caregivers bring to those receiving care, to our
communities and to society as a whole,
WHEREAS, the month of November is designated as National Family Caregivers Month, which offers the
perfect opportunity to highlight the hard work, dedication and courage to care that all In-Home caregivers
exemplify everyday – in caring for both family and non-family members;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors strongly supports our In-Home
caregivers and acknowledges their Courage to Care by officially recognizing the month of November 2022 as National Family
Caregivers Month, and appreciates the essential work and contributions In-Home caregivers bring to Contra Costa County, and
will work with them to protect programs and services such as I.H.S.S., keep a fundamental commitment to our low-income
seniors and disabled residents, and ask that the State of California and the Federal Government maintain that commitment as well.

From:Monica Nino, County Administrator
Date:November 29, 2022
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:APPOINTMENT TO THE LOS MEDANOS HEALTH ADVISORY COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The dissolution of the District was originally authorized by LAFCo Resolution No. 17-13B, which included certain terms and conditions related
to that action. The terms and conditions of the dissolution, among other things, appoint Contra Costa County to serve as successor agency of the
dissolved District and charges the County with winding up the former District's affairs, including taking possession and disposing of District
assets and liabilities. In addition, the LAFCo terms and conditions require the County to administer a grant program for the benefit of residents
in the former District area. The grant program will be funded with ad valorem property tax dollars formerly allocated to the District.
Establishment of the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee
The Los Medanos Community Health Advisory Committee (the "LMHAC") was created by the Board of Supervisors in 2018 as pursuant to the
terms and conditions approved by LAFCo to dissolve the LMCHD. The purpose of the LMHAC is to:
1. Develop an area health plan that identifies the major health disparities that impact residents of the former LMCHD service area, and
establishes priorities for improving health outcomes. The plan will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for review and will not be final
unless adopted by the Board of Supervisors. The LMHAC may engage an outside consultant to assist in developing the plan. The LMHAC shall
submit an updated plan for approval by the Board of Supervisors no less than every five years.
2. Solicit proposals from service providers that are interested in participating the Los Medanos Area Health Plan Grant Program (the "Grant
Program") and are capable of addressing the priorities outlined in the adopted plan. Funding for grants will be provided from (i) a special fund
established by the Auditor-Controller, at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, that is used to segregate the property tax revenue received by
the County as a result of the dissolution of the District, and (ii) any other funds made available to the grant program (e.g. through restricted
donations, grants, etc.).
3. Monitor the efficacy of the programs funded by the grant program.
4. Report to the Board of Supervisors no less than once per year on the execution of the adopted plan, the grants provided under the grant
program, the results achieved through the adopted plan and the grant program, and other matters that relate to the LMHAC's purpose and duties.
Nominations to the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee
The LMHAC is composed of seven seats nominated to the Board of Supervisors by the following: (2) from the Pittsburg City Council, (2) from
the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council (MAC), (2) from the Health Services Department (one from Public Health and one from Behavioral
Health) and (1) from the Internal Operations Committee of the Board of Supervisors. On April 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors considered
and approved the following appointments:
Pittsburg City Council. On January 20, 2022, the County sent correspondence to the City of Pittsburg requesting that the City Council
forward nominations to fill two seats on the LMHAC no later than March 18, 2022. On March 7, 2022, the City Council passed Resolution No.
22-14062 nominating two members of the City Council to serve on the LMHAC. The County was informed that Vice Mayor Shanelle Scales
Preston and Councilmember Jelani Killings would be the representatives serving on behalf of the City Council.
Bay Point MAC . On February 1, 2022, the Bay Point MAC began a process to identify nominees from the Bay Point community to serve on
the LMHAC. On April 5, 2022, the Bay Point MAC voted to nominate Lloyd Lee Mason and Marcia Lessley to serve as the Bay Point MAC
representatives on the LMHAC. Mr. Mason was a previous director on the LMCHD governing board and Ms. Lessley is a current member of
the Bay Point MAC.
Health Services Department. Following the dissolution of the LMCHD and reorganizations of the Mount Diablo and West Contra Costa
Healthcare Districts, Contra Costa County Health Services is the sole public provider of healthcare services within the County. The LMHAC
includes two representatives from the Health Services department to ensure that both clinical expertise and knowledge of the current publicly
provided healthcare infrastructure is present during discussion of how best to recommend funding allocations for former LMCHD property tax
revenue to the Board of Supervisors. The Health Services Director has nominated the following individuals to serve on the LMHAC:
Christopher Pedraza (Behavioral Health seat). Mr. Pedraza has worked in the Behavioral Health community for over 15 years with
the majority of the time being focused on Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Since coming to Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services five years
ago, Christopher has overseen the creation and negotiation of all Alcohol and Other Drugs Services (AODS) contracts and recently took over the
oversight of mental health services contracts as well. Along with the contract oversight, Christopher continues to be the Manager overseeing
Discovery House, a County-operated, 40-bed men’s residential SUD treatment facility in Martinez and preparing for the implementation of
CalAIM within Behavioral Health Services.
Dr. Sefanit Mekuria (Public Health seat). Dr. Mekuria completed a residency in both Pediatrics and Preventive Medicine and received
her Master’s in Public Health from University of California, Berkeley. She has worked on several projects throughout Contra Costa Public
Health and has supported the communicable disease branch as a medical consultant. Currently, Dr. Mekuria is a Medical Director in Public
Health and one of the Deputy Health Officers for the county. She is currently the COVID-19 operations section chief supporting the COVID-19
response. In addition to this, she works closely with the school-based clinic programs, aiding in any planning for clinics and also supporting the
service providers.
Subsequent to approving the six nominations above, the Board approved a recommendation of the Internal Operations Committee appointing a
former Los Medanos Healthcare District Board member Dennisha Marsh to the At Large seat for a term to commence the day following Board
of Supervisors action through December 31, 2023.
Resignation of Bay Point MAC Appointee
On November 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors accepted the resignation of Marcia Lessley from the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council
No. 2 seat on the Los Medanos Health Advisory Committee. In light of this, the Bay Point MAC convened on November 1, 2022 to consider the
appointment of another Council member to serve for the remaining term through December 31, 2024. The Bay Point MAC nominated Charles
Tramaine for appointment by the Board.
Today's action asks the Board to consider appointment of Mr. Tramaine to the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council No. 2 seat vacated by Ms.
Lessley for the remaining term through December 31, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Appointment to the Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council No. 2 seat will not be made resulting in the seat remaining vacant.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/415 to add the County Finance Director, in addition to Assistant Risk Managers, as an official alternate to act on
behalf of Contra Costa County with regard to official matters of Public Risk Innovation Solutions and Management (PRISM), effective
November 1, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
In 1980, Contra Costa County joined the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA), a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) for procurement of
pooled and group purchased insurance and risk management services to its members including counties, cities, educational organizations,
special districts, housing authorities, fire districts and other JPAs. CSAC EIA, changed its name to Public Risk Innovation Solutions and
Management (PRISM) in 2020. The PRISM Board of Directors is comprised of one primary representative and an alternate from each member
county who has authority to officially act on behalf of that entity along with ten public entity board members. The Board of Directors
establishes policy and governs the operations

Subject:Add County Finance Director as official alternate to PRISM
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of PRISM.
Under Resolution No. 2020/64, this responsibility was appointed to the Director of Risk Management – Exempt and designating Assistant
Risk Managers, as the official representative and alternates, respectively, to act on behalf of Contra Costa County regarding official matters
of PRISM. The Director of Risk Management designates the alternate via letter by the County Administrator to PRISM.
Several Assistant Risk Managers positions have become vacant with retirements in February, March, and October of 2022. This resolution
allows for the County Finance Director to also participate as an official alternate. The additional position for alternate will allow for more
flexible County representation on behalf of the Director of Risk Management on the PRISM Governing Board.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to designate an official alternate may result in insufficient representation on behalf of Contra Costa County in the business of
governance of PRISM.

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Joshua A. Klein
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
I view California's public law libraries as fulfilling three important roles. First, they are resources for
practicing lawyers -- particularly solo practitioners and those in small firms with limited library resources of
their own. Second, they are resources for judges, court staff, and public agencies located near the
libraries. And third, they serve an important role in improving access to justice among underserved
Californians. This last role is perhaps the aspect in which the Contra Costa Law Library most dramatically
serves the public, and the aspect which leads especially to my interest in serving on the Board. The
challenge of assisting unrepresented members of the public with their legal needs has received attention
from members of the state judiciary, state bar, and Legislature. Many Californians with legal needs are
unable to afford to retain lawyers, and nonprofit and pro bono responses, while important, cannot fully fill
that gap. The Contra Costa Public Law Library plays an important role, by making form books, self-help
guides, online databases, and treatises available; by having reference librarians on duty to help patrons
find appropriate resources; and through the Lawyer in the Library program which staffs volunteer
attorneys from the local legal community to consult with those facing legal challenges. I am applying to the
Public Library Board of Trustees in order to help the Library further those goals. I would look forward to
speaking with Library staff about their current user-base, and considering ways to maintain, and (where
appropriate) expand, the services available to those users. One step in that process might be to
undertake a survey of walk-in patrons, judges, bar members, and county and municipal offices to better
understand how each group uses the library, and the kinds of resources they may lack themselves that
the library could reasonably help supply. A further step could be to confer with community groups, public
legal service groups, and the Contra Costa County Bar Association to find out ways that the library could
better serve unrepresented litigants, in cooperation with the Superior Court's Self-Help Resources
Centers. The Board also has an important role to play in overseeing the planned build-out of the library
facility that will be located in the new county building in Martinez. Finally, a constant and increasing
challenge for the library is funding. The Legislature has chosen to fund public law libraries through a
portion of civil filing fees. But legislatively imposed caps, originating in past budget crises, have caused
the adequacy of the state contribution to decrease over time, particularly when measured against
inflation. Our County's law library has done impressive work over the years to try to preserve services--but
has needed to make cutbacks at times, affecting the accessibility of services. A top priority must be
creative thinking, and partnerships with local sponsors, to ensure that library services are maintained--and
hopefully expanded--in the challenging fiscal environment. Fortunately, the Public Law Library has an
engaged, experienced, and thoughtful professional staff that has managed its resources and met its
mission well. I would look forward to working with that staff, including the Library Director, to ensure that
the Public Law Library continues to serve its important role for the people of Contra Costa County.

Upload a Resume
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
I have been licensed to practice law in California since 2003. I have served as court staff, have been in
private practice, and have practiced public law for both the state and federal Department of Justice. (A full
description of my career can be found in the resume I am attaching with this application.) My mode of
practice relies heavily on library resources, and I am well positioned to evaluate how the Public Law
Library can best serve the needs of its diverse users. In addition, I have a long history of service to the
profession -- including as a past Chair of the Federal Courts Committee of the State Bar, and as a current
member of the Executive Committee of the Appellate Section of the Bar Association of San Francisco. I
am active in local bar associations, such as the Contra Costa Bar Association, the Bar Association of San
Francisco, the Edward J. McFetridge Inn of Court, and the Northern District of California chapter of the
Federal Bar Association--and my knowledge of those organizations could assist the Board in efforts to
gain support from local bar members both for the financial needs of the library and for volunteer programs
such as the Lawyer in the Library program. Finally and most importantly, I have spent the last year
becoming familiar with the Public Law Library's programs and needs. I have attended most of the Board's
meetings over the past year, to learn about ongoing efforts and challenges. I have spoken with the Library
Director about the challenges of providing services despite difficulties caused by budget and pandemic
constraints, and about the effort to design library space in the new county building in Martinez. By
observing and taking part in such discussions, I have become quite familiar with the library's mission and
needs, and the excellent leadership that the library receives from its Board and professional staff. I would
be honored and excited to be able to contribute to the Contra Costa Public Law Library's important role in
meeting the needs of our County's people.

The Park Advisory Committee (PAC) is a 21-member citizens' advisory group appointed by the East Bay Regional Park District Board of

Conference, Board of Supervisors, and Special District Chapters of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
The PAC studies issues and makes recommendations and comments on a spectrum of policy issues, such as grazing, dogs, horses and bikes in
parks, the Park District budget, naming park facilities, park land use plans, new concessions, and more. Members are appointed for two-year
terms and may serve a total of four consecutive terms, or eight years. Meetings are held monthly in Oakland.
In May 2017, Neil Tsutsui (El Cerrito) was appointed to the Board of Supervisors Appointee seat to complete the unexpired term of the seat

Qualifications and Volunteer Experience
Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or
commission.
During the past five years, it has been my great pleasure to represent Contra Costa County as the Board
of Supervisors appointee to the EBRPD Parks Advisory Committee (PAC). As you know, these years
have been filled with great challenges and difficulty, as well as renewal and opportunity. I am proud of my
work on the PAC, helping to steer the Park District through these events, I am excited at the possibility of
continuing for another term as the BOS appointee to the PAC. As a professor of Environmental Science,
Policy, and Management at UC Berkeley, I am keenly aware of the environmental challenges that we face
today, and I am well-versed in a variety of topics related to ecology and global change. In my professional
life, I have previously served on many committees related to personnel, instruction, research, budgets,
etc. at the levels of department, college, campus, and UC-wide. I believe that effective engagement with a
variety of different user groups is crucial for the continued support of the parks, and that this engagement
benefits society generally. In particular, I am interested in continuing to support and develop
collaborations between the parts and student groups (university and K12), research scientists, and
individuals from underrepresented groups. I have extensive experience collaborating on complex projects,
and achieving measurable results within budgetary guidelines and on time.

Upload a Resume
Describe your qualifications for this appointment. (NOTE: you may also include a copy of
your resume with this application)
As mentioned above, I have served as the Contra Costa County BOS appointee to the Park District PAC
since 2017. In this time, I have been actively engaged in meetings of the committee as well as the regular
Board field trips and site visits. This past year, I’m proud that my colleagues on the PAC elected me as
their Vice-chair. I believe that this long and deep experience in the East Bay Parks as uniquely prepared
me to serve as the BOS appointee to the Parks Advisory Committee. Outside of my PAC service, I have
extensive experience in management of natural areas. This year, after a campuswide search, I was
selected as the Faculty Director of UC Berkeley’s five Central Sierra Field Research Stations. In this
capacity, I manage staff, oversee the budgets, raise external funds, and guide programmatic and capital
projects for these field stations and their thousands of acres of Sierra Nevada lands. More locally, I
recently served for two years on the UC Berkeley Long Range Development Plan committee, focusing on
the future use and preservation of the largely undeveloped Hill Campus in the Berkeley hills. Third, I have
also served as a member of the Sagehen Creek Field Station Advisory Committee, helping to guide the
this heavily-used UC Natural Reserve through the difficulties of a COVID-19 associated closure and the
hiring and onboarding of a new station manager. Fourth, I am a faculty affiliate of the UC Berkeley
Institute for People, Parks, and Biodiversity, and have twice served on the search committee for a new
Executive Director. Finally, as a professor and scientist, I study ecology and evolution for a living, and am
recognized as a world expert on invasive species and insect behavior. I am deeply immersed in the
scientific literature, with expertise in a wide range of fields – from genetics, genomics, and molecular
biology up to organismal behavior and evolutionary theory. I oversee a medium-sized research lab at UC
Berkeley I have been funded continuously with competitive federal and state grants. I teach and mentor
students in ecology, evolution, and environmental science, including undergraduates, PhD graduate
students, and post-doctoral researchers.

BACKGROUND:
The Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County (also known as AC5) was established in 1994 to advise the Board of Supervisors in
matters and issues relevant to arts and culture; to advance the arts in a way that promotes communication, education, appreciation, and
collaboration throughout Contra Costa County; to preserve, celebrate, and share the arts and culture of the many diverse ethnic groups who live
in Contra Costa County; to create partnerships with business and government; and to increase communications and understanding between all
citizens through art. Most importantly, the mission of the Commission was to promote arts and culture as a vital element in the quality of life for
all citizens of Contra Costa County.
While AC5’s work was instrumental in the development and support of numerous vital arts and culture programs and initiatives over the years,
the organizational structure was ultimately deemed not as constructive to the mission as a public-private partnership Arts Council could be.

To:Board of Supervisors
From:INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Date:November 29, 2022
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Appointments to the Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On March 29, 2022, the Board of Supervisors dissolved the Arts and Culture Commission and directed County Administration staff to
procure or establish a nonprofit public-private partnership Arts Council for the county, to serve as the county’s State-Local Partner (SLP)
with the California Arts Council (CAC).
On August 2, 2022, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Internal Operations (IO) Committee the establishment of an Ad Hoc Arts
Council Steering Committee. At its September 12, 2022 meeting, the Internal Operations (IO) Committee (Chair Burgis, Vice Chair
Andersen) supported the establishment of a seven-member Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee and directed staff to commence an
application period for applicants to the Committee.
On September 20, 2022, the Board of Supervisors voted to establish the Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee and approved its mission
and committee composition. The mission of the Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee is to guide the County's arts and cultural planning
efforts through an inclusive community engagement process; provide input and collaboration with County staff and the consultant on the
Arts Council procurement or establishment process; ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the process and outcomes; and listen
to the community.
The Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee will consist of up to seven members, representing the geographic and demographic diversity
of the county, including representatives from the following:
Former Contra Costa Arts & Culture Commissioners and/or Managing Directors
Representatives of County departments with interest in arts and culture
Members of local arts and culture commissions/committees/foundations
Artists and representatives of local arts and culture organizations
Municipalities and Chambers of Commerce leaders
School District Representatives and leaders of education
Members of the LGBTQ+ community
Black, Indigenous and People of Color
On September 20, 2022, staff issued a Press Release (in English and Spanish) and distributed it along with a recruitment flyer (in English
and Spanish) to recruit for the seven (7) seats on the Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering Committee. The Press Release and recruitment flyer
were sent to local artists and arts and cultural organizations, through the communication networks and social media platforms maintained by
the County Office of Communication and Media, via Board of Supervisors’ newsletters, and other relevant outreach mailing lists and social
media platforms maintained by County staff.
As of October 11, 2022, a total of 13 applications were received. All applicants were invited to participate in the public interviews with the
Internal Operations Committee on October 17, 2022. In addition, on October 13, 2022, another application was received which was past the
deadline of October 11. Staff from the Clerk of the Board's Office also notified County Administrator staff that another timely application
was submitted by mail on October 1 but was not included in the original 13 applications due to misstatement of the name of the Committee
that the applicant was applying for. At the October 17, 2022 IO Committee meeting, due to the issues with the late application, one timely
application missing from the agenda packet, and the applicant pool not including any District 3 residents, the IO Committee directed staff to
extend the recruitment period for at least another two weeks, encourage District 3 residents to apply, and bring the matter back to the IO
Committee at its November meeting.
After the October 17, 202 IO Committee meeting, staff released an updated press release and recruitment flyer (in both English and
Spanish) through various channels of communication networks and social media platforms. As of the deadline of November 11, 2022, a
total number of 22 applications were received. All applicants were invited to participate in the meeting with the IO Committee on
November 21, 2022.
At their November 21, 2022 Internal Operations Committee meeting, the Committee had considered the applications, interviewed
applicants, and recommended that the Board of Supervisors appoint the following individuals to the Ad Hoc Arts Council Steering
Committee:
1. Najari Smith (District I)
2. Janet Berckefeldt (District II)
3. Germaine McCoy (District III)
4. Arlene Kikkawa-Nielsen (District IV)
5. Ben Miyaji (District 5)
6. Nilofar Gardezi (non-profit foundation)
7. Margot Melcon (non-profit foundation)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to appoint members to the Arts Council Steering Committee is likely to reduce public participation in providing guidance to the
County's arts and cultural planning efforts, in providing input and collaboration with County staff and Arts Orange County on the Arts
Council procurement or establishment process; and in ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the process and outcomes.

My career in non-profit arts and culture organizations has spanned
more than 50 years. More than half of that time has been in public-
private partnerships for museums, historic preservation, and
wildlife conservation organizataions. I have served on several
theater and museum boards of directors. As a consultant, I have
worked with theaters, museums, and other arts and culture
organizations. I am a descendant of pioneer ranching families in
Danville (Baldwin) and San Ramon (Cox) and am committed to
ensuring that Contra Costa County is a vibrant and healthy place to
live.

I am very interested in helping foster arts in my community, and
serving on a steering committee for the Arts for the County would
be a postive way to contribute. I have a robust background in the
arts and know a lot of artists in Contra Costa and surounding Bay
Area communities. I have served on the arts advisory board in the
past (Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County).
Aadditionally, I am a member of NorCalPaan (Northern California
Public Art Administrators Network) and work in the arts for the
Town of Danville as the Visual Arts Coordiantor. I have also
volunteered as an arts judge for SRVUSD art competitions.

I have working with Pittsburg Arts
and Community Foundation since
2012 in both volunteer and paid
positions, as an instructor, program
supervisor, and grant writer. I have
also volunteered for other non arts-
related organizations such as food
banks, schools, and local businesses.
I would like to serve on the steering committee for our county as
we work together to develop a cohesive plan for the arts, because I
believe the arts are necessary in order for people to experience the
full spectrum of human existence, and the more people who have
access to the opportunity to participate in the arts on every level,
the better all of our lives will be in Contra Costa County. I am a
working visual artist who has lived in Contra Costa county for the
past 25 years. I started building my art career in 2009 while living
in Martinez, as artist in residence for Jelly Belly Candy Company.
Since 2009, I've made over 100 large scale works for Jelly Belly at
events around the U.S. and the world, as well as numerous private
commissions and a large body of work in various other visual
media. Since moving to Pittsburg in 2012, I have become involved
with Pittsburg Arts and Community Foundation. I am interested in
scaling up my own involvement in support of the arts, and I would
bring a grassroots experiential perspective of being a working artist
in the county for the past 25 years to the committee if selected.

Serving on the Steering Committee is of interest to me because of
my passion for the arts and my desire to make it more accessible. I
wouldn't say I'm the best drawer or painter, but I've been involved
with the arts ever since I could remember. I play the piano,
perming at many venues, including the Baroque Festival of the
Contra Costa branch, and am heavily invested in photography and
videography. I am lucky to be a part of a community that supports
the arts, and envision similar programs across the county. The arts
have allowed me to see the world differently; seeing things
through a different lense have nurtured my creativity and critical
thinking skills. As a county, thre are crucial aspects of the
community that need more emphasis. While I am only in high
school, I believe I can bring a new perspective to the committee,
one from a younger generation. The creation of an arts council
should include programs for the youth, and my past experiences
working with kids of all ages has given me knowledge on how to
encourage participation and develop activities that kids enjoy. In
addition to supporting youth, I hope to assist the Arts Council to
help local artists get public attention and recognition. My
upbringing and school has led me to appreciate many cultures, and
as a person of color myself, one of my main goals if appointed is to
ensure access to all and to be active in receiving feedback from the
community.

As a resident of Contra Costa County for 10 years and as a business

witnessed the lack of public arts & culture investment in many
areas of the County. Through my business, we're making a
concentated effort to change that by adding more diverse public
artworks to cities that don't have much publi art and also by
building cultural experiences that igninte inspiration & excitement
in our county. I'm well-versed in creating strategies for public arts
projects that are realistic for each unique setting. I've also co-
founded a nonprofit arts organization that focuses on providing
artists opportunities to build their experience with public art and
directly work on projects that benefit the community.

significant step in bringing needed cohesino to the county arts
organizations. I believe my experience serving on the San Jose Arts

2013) and the Arts and Culture Commission of Contra Costa County
give me a unique view on commissions/councils. Also my serving

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 005023 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $321,999 from
Behavioral Health Admin (0467) to General Services - Fleet Operations (0064) for the purchase of ten (10) vehicles for transportation of A3
(Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime) clients.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases appropriations in the Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) and reduces appropriations in Behavioral Health Admin (0467) by
$321,999. Allocation adjustments through a T/C 24 will facilitate the fund transfer to the proper disbursement account. The purchase of these
vehicles will be 100% funded by the California Department of Health Care Services.
BACKGROUND:
The Crisis Care Mobile Units Program grant and the Measure X half cent sales tax funded 75 positions to staff the A3 (Anyone, Anywhere,
Anytime) Behavioral Health Crisis Response Program that will serve the entire County. This funding includes the use of County vehicles. The
vehicles will be used by our Mobile Crisis Response Teams (Mental Health Specialists, Community Support Workers, and Substance Use
Counselors) to respond in the community to provide services to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The Mobile Crisis Response
Teams will assess clients onsite, stabilize the situation, or initiate an involuntary hold. In addition to using the vehicle to meet people in the
field, it will be used to transport clients, as needed, to appropriate destinations, so that they receive the right care at the right time.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If a vehicle is not available BHS will not be meeting the requirements of the funding sources. Additionally, the Mobile Crisis Response Teams
will not be able to meet a primary goal of the A3 Model, which is to respond in the field and onsite to provide necessary interventions/services.

County
Subject:Reclassify Systems Accountant II in the Office of the Auditor-Controller
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
was conducted on a single position currently allocated to the Systems Accountant II classification assigned to the Office of the
Auditor-Controller Systems Division. Since 2019, the incumbent has taken on responsibilities as the County Project Lead for the
implementation and support of the new County-wide Workday Financials ERP system. Additionally, the position scope includes project
management, supervision, systems analysis, testing and configuration, and training and development. This work is most aligned with the
Information Systems Project Manager, which is responsible for this scope of work. Upon review and analysis, Human Resources
recommends the position and its incumbent be reclassified to Information Systems Project Manager.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A Systems Project Manager position is essential to the efficient operation for the Department. If this position is not approved, the Office of
the Auditor Controller will not be able to adequately manage its Systems upgrades and Information Technology needs which will negatively
impact the implementation and operation of future systems.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26068 to add one (1) Sheriff's Chief of Management Services - Exempt (APD2) at salary plan and
grade B85 2057 ($10,899 - $13,248).
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund: Annual estimated cost total $275,000, of which $52,000 is pension costs. This cost will be absorbed within the Sheriff's
existing budget.
BACKGROUND:
In August 2022, the current Commander-Exempt in Management Services informed the Sheriff of her intent to retire in February 2023. The
Sheriff is requesting the addition of a Chief of Management Services-Exempt position in an effort to allow time for recruitment, hiring, and
knowledge transfer to take place before the upcoming retirement. The Commander position will be canceled at a future date.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
There would not be adequate time to recruit, hire, and allow for knowledge transfer if the Sheriff's Chief of Management Services - Exempt
position is not added before the Commander - Exempt incumbent retires.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26059 to cancel three (3) vacant Environmental Health Specialist II (VLVA) positions at salary
plan and grade TC5-1759 ($8,119 - $9,869), and add three (3) Environmental Health Specialist III (VLNB) positions at salary plan and grade
TC5-1001 ($8,525 - $10,362) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this request will have an approximate annual cost increase of $27,014, with $6,888 in pension cost included. The cost increase
will be fully offset by Environmental Health Program Fees.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa Environmental Health Services (EHS) division is charged to protect and promote the health of County residents through
programs for safe food, water for drinking and recreation, and the sanitary management of wastes. It serves as a regulatory agency that provides
oversight for businesses and property owners and a community resource for the general public.
In order to meet the needs of the community and enforce new legislation and ordinances, EHS is requesting to cancel three Environmental
Health Specialist II positions and add three Environmental Health Specialist III positions. Since County ordinances and new legislation
constantly affect the duties and responsibilities of the EHS Program, there is a current need for additional registered Environmental Health
Specialist III positions in the Retail Food program. These positions will be responsible for, but not limited to, developing and writing policies
and procedures for program implementation, analyzing and evaluating the effect of proposed legislation, writing proposals for available grants,
and conducting extremely complex and difficult investigations. The Environmental Health Specialist II positions are currently vacant and no
longer needed in the division at this time.
Adding the three additional Environmental Health Specialist III positions will allow EHS to continue to provide optimal service to County
residents.

plan and grade 3R5-1269 ($4,998.18-$6075.32), and cancel one (1) vacant Clerk-Specialist Level (JWXD) (represented) position number 11957
salary plan 3RX-1156 ($4,457.54-$5,692.46) in the Clerk-Recorder Department.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% County General Fund. The total cost of this request will be $4,594 annually and $2,680 in this fiscal year, these costs are within the
department's operating budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Clerk-Recorder Division hosts department-specific job classifications to distinguish the technical duties and responsibilities performed by
incumbents, beyond those of the County-wide Clerk deep class series. Since the inception of these departmental job classifications, the
Clerk-Recorder Division has transitioned to using the Clerk-Experienced Level (JWXB) class as an entry-level rank and file position, while
reserving more advanced tasks and procedures for job classifications specifically associated with the Clerk-Recorder Division.
The long-time incumbent Clerk-Specialist Level recently retired, creating the vacancy. The department is interested in reclassifying this position
to a Clerk-Recorder Services Specialist classification to align with the other staffing in the division. This is the final Clerk Specialist position in
the department and this request would allow the division to more equitably rotate responsibilities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Clerk-Recorder Division will have less bandwidth for training staff on, and performing, more technical responsibilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost to the Department of appoximately $30,000.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall is staffed with a team of Institutional Services Workers whom are responsible for custodial, laundry, and
kitchen tasks to maintain the health and sanitary conditions within the facility. Juvenile Hall is a 300,000+ square foot facility that requires 24/7
staffing to meet the health and sanitary standards set by the Bureau of State and Community Corrections. Currently, overtime is being used to
adequately staff the needs of the facility. However, the addition of a full time staff person would lessen the need for overtime. Additionally, the
part time position has been difficult to fill, and increasing the hours to a full time position will make this vacancy easier to fill.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26073 to increase the hours of one (1) Medical Social Worker II (X4VH) position #7629 at salary
plan and grade 255-1590 ($7,103-$8,633) from 30/40 to 40/40 and one (1) Community Health Worker II (VKVB) position #15812 at salary
plan and grade TC5-1043 ($3,996-$4,857) from 32/40 to 40/40 in the Health Services Department. (Represented)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon approval, this action will result in an annual cost increase of approximately $57,119 with pension costs already included. This increase
will be fully funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues.
BACKGROUND:
Incumbents in the Community Health Worker II classification have the ability to request that their position hours be increased, as outlined in the
Memorandum of Understanding between the County and Teamsters, Local 856. The incumbent has requested to increase their hours from 32/40
to 40/40, and the department has determined that the increased positions are necessary to meet the operational needs of the Health Start Clinic.
The Healthy Start Clinic provides pregnant mothers with comprehensive prenatal care and education. Their services include providing
pregnancy tests, prenatal education, genetic testing, breastfeeding education and support, childbirth classes, car seat education, nutritional
assessment, and 24/7 advice nurse assistance. Healthy start patients, which are comprised of underserved women who are pregnant or have just
had children, rely on social services and counseling assistance provided by the clinic. Due to an increase in the number of referrals to this clinic,
it is requested to increase both Medical Social Worker II and Community Health Worker II position hours to full-time to mitigate the service

Date:November 29, 2022
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Grant Agreement #78-012 with Bay Area Air Quality Management District
FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
BACKGROUND:
The Clean Air Center Program (“Program”) is a grant program designed to provide funding to purchase portable air cleaners and retrofit
ventilation systems to create a network of clean air centers where people in vulnerable communities with high documented smoke burden can
find respite from wildfires and other smoke events. This grant program is funded by Assembly Bill 836 as part of the California Air Resources
Board’s Wildfire Smoke Clean Air Centers for Vulnerable Populations Pilot Program (Wicks, Chapter 393, California Health, and Safety Code
Section 39960, 2019).
The California Air Resources Board (“CARB”), which oversees and administers the Program, has adopted guidelines and criteria for the
Program’s implementation entitled, Wildfire Smoke Clean Air Centers for Vulnerable Populations Incentive Pilot Program Guidelines 2021 and
subsequent CARB revisions and advisories issued for Program implementation (together the “CARB Program Guidelines”). The Air District
implements the Program in the San Francisco Bay Area air basin in accordance with the CARB Program Guidelines and the Air District Clean
Air Center Program Guidelines.
On September 6, 2022, the County received formal notice of this funding award. Approval of Grant Agreement #78-012 will allow the County
to establish clean air centers in public spaces in Contra Costa County for five years, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the BAAQMD
harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to accept the grant and approve the agreement will delay implementation and use of public facilities across the county to be used as
clean air environment during wildfire and other poor air quality events. Ten jurisdictions, including the County, would be impacted.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The dangers to children and student health are exacerbated during poor air quality events, especially when the Air Quality Index (AQI) exceeds
150, as has often occurred in association with wildfire events across northern California. Providing portable air filters in civic and school
environments, including libraries supports the following Board of Supervisors community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in
School;” “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing;” and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and
Families.” Expected program outcomes include a decrease in preventable health events, including asthma, eye and lung irritation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/382 to replace Resolution No. 2021/358 clarifying the approval and authorization of the Employment and Human
Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant award in an amount of $113,600 from the California Department of Housing and
Community Development for the Transitional Housing Program (THP) Round 3 from the date of grant award through June 30, 2024, as
recommended by the Employment and Human Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On November 2, 2021, the Board of Supervisors reviewed and approved application submission to and acceptance of funds from the State of
California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for the THP Round 3 grant via Board Order C.32; Resolution Number

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-818-5
containing mutual indemnification with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a nonprofit corporation, to pay the
County an amount not to exceed $25,000 for participation in the FoodNet Expanded Case Exposure Ascertainment (eCEA) Project, for the
period from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in funding from the Public Health Foundation Enterprises. (No County match)
BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division receives hundreds of reports of Salmonellosis and Shigellosis cases annually. There
are likely many cases that do not get reported because community members do not see their doctor or confirmatory testing is not performed.
These infections can result in serious illness and hospitalization across the age spectrum. Administering the expanded case report and the eCEA
questionnaire will allow health officials to gathering additional information that could result in enhanced disease prevention and control
activities.
On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-818-4 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (DBA
Heluna Health) to receive funds in the amount of $23,639 for participation in the eCEA, to study foodborne bacteria, for the period from August
1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.
Approval of Agreement #29-818-5 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the eCEA Project, through July 31, 2023. This
agreement includes mutual indemnification. There was a delay in submitting this agreement for approval due to the division not receiving the
agreement until October 25, 2022.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding to provide services for the eCEA Project.

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #28-706-26 including
mutual indemnification with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, to pay the County an amount not to exceed
$137,813 for participation in the California Emerging Infections Program (EIP) for the period from September 1, 2022 through August 31,
2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The agreement will result in an amount of up to $137,813 in funding from the Food and Drug Administration Grant for the EIP provided
through the Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. No County match is required.
BACKGROUND:
The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) for Enteric Bacteria was established in 1996 to monitor bacterial
resistance, specifically, the resistance among Salmonella and other enteric bacteria. The 17 participating state health departments forward every
tenth human Salmonella isolate to Center for Disease Control (CDC) for antimicrobial susceptibility testing.
The CDC is requesting that additional EIP sites participate in the study of foodborne bacteria. Such bacteria is not uncommon and often is
associated with the use of antimicrobial agents in food animals, especially in retail food. This study will assist in generating a database that may
be utilized to augment the development of intervention programs to stem the high prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in the meal and poultry
food supply. The goal of the study is to determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella, Campylobacter, E.coli and
enterococci isolated from a sample of chicken, ground turkey, ground beef and pork chops purchased from selected grocery stores in the
catchment area of the California EIP FoodNet site. This will include samples collected from Contra Costa, Alameda and San Francisco County
retail grocery stores.
On November 2, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-706-24 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. to pay
county an amount not to exceed $127,479 for participation in the California EIP Program for the period September 1, 2021 through August 31,

to increase the amount payable to the county by $31,128 to a new amount not to exceed $158,607 for participation in the California EIP

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee (the Director of Environmental Health or Assistant Director of Health
Services), to submit Grant Application #28-759-29 (TEA-30) to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle),
to pay the County an amount of up to $500,000 for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program, for the period from June 30,
2023 through September 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this application could result in revenues of up to $500,000 from CalRecycle for the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement
Program. The funds are allocated and available from CalRecycle for grants to solid waste Local Enforcement Agencies (LEA) and cities and
counties with regulatory authority within the city and county government to perform enforcement/compliance and surveillance activities at
waste tire facilities. No County match is required.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa Environmental Health/General Programs is the solid waste LEA for the entire County, including all incorporated cities except for
the City of Pittsburg. CalRecycle has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the state, setting up
necessary procedures governing application by cities and counties under the program. Since 2007, Contra Costa County has demonstrated it has
sufficient staff resources, technical expertise, and/or experience to carry out the proposed program. The Program allows the County to monitor
and reduce illegal waste tire practices, educate and enforce proper waste tire management and assist in reducing potential vector problems and
prevention of tire fires and otherwise protecting public health safety.
Approval of Application #28-759-29 will allow Contra Costa County Environmental Health Services to apply for funds to continue
implementing the Environmental Health Waste Tire Enforcement Program in the Health Services Department through September 30, 2024.

generation of marine industry craftspeople. The Marine Technician Apprenticeship program approved by the California Division of
Apprenticeship Standards, the federal Department of Labor, is the first program of its kind in California. The program focuses on helping
Apprentices develop key skills and contacts in many facets of the marine industry.
Grant term March 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval, participants in special extraneous grant programs will not have access to classroom instruction and job training that lead to
self-sufficiency which would adversely impact these participants. Local businesses will have fewer qualified candidates for positions.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The revenue and services funded under this agreement supports three of the five Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) Families that
are Economically Self-Sufficient; (2) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (3) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High
Quality of Life for Children and Families.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute a contract with ClearGov in an amount not to exceed $108,350
to provide software licensing and configuration, including three years of maintenance and set up support, of a digital budget book publishing
software system for the period December 12, 2022 through December 11, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The contract cost comprises a one-time set up fee of $5,600 and annual subscription service fee of $34,250. The total general fund cost of the
three-year contract term would be $108,350.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the County Administrator's Office produces a digital and physical budget book for the Recommended Budget. The process involves
creating, formatting, and synthesizing nearly 200 Excel, Word, and PDF files into a single, cohesive, budget document. Narratives are written,
hundreds of tables and charts are pasted in, countless individual figures are populated and vetted and re-vetted, and a table of contents is
assembled and manually hyperlinked. Since 2011, the annual cycle for the budget book has resulted in a Government Finance Officers
Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, but the process has been manual and extremely labor intensive.
The requested contract with ClearGov would provide a software subscription service to help produce an easy to navigate, web-based budget
book with far more administrative efficiency. Raw data files for the county's budget would be loaded in the software system and transformed.
The GFOA award criteria has been built-in to ClearGov’s framework and templates, and auto-creates key sections and pre-populates them with
required data. Subsequent updating of budget tables, charts, and figures throughout the budget book would be far simpler and error-free, and
virtually all of the administrative and formatting tasks would be automated, freeing staff to focus on content. The County's Recommended
Budget would be available online in an intuitive, easy to navigate, interactive format, or it could be downloaded as a single PDF document.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District Attorney, or designee, to execute a contract with Peregrine Technologies, Inc., in an

in its current configuration the data is not suitable for analysis, nor are we able to query the system for more complex information.
In addition, the District Attorney’s Office has the responsibility of complying with the Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA). This bill
requires all sworn law enforcement agencies in California to report their demographic stop data to the California Department of Justice. The
Peregrine software application will allow DAO law enforcement personnel to collect and report the relevant data via a mobile application.
The initial term of the contract is for three years from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2025. The DAO may extend the contract for up
to two (2) additional one-year terms after the initial term, extending the contract through November 30, 2027. The total amount payable to the
contractor will not exceed $950,000 by November 30, 2027. The contract requires Peregrine to maintain cyber insurance coverage of
$2,000,000. Peregrine will provide professional services to deploy the software system, integrate and model customer data, and configure
user-facing tools to support priority workflows and use cases, and conduct training.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District Attorney’s Office will be limited in its ability to interpret its data, and our responsibilities related to RIPA will take more time
because the forms will have to be completed manually.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, to pay $236,383 to Medline Industries, Inc for medical supplies, surgical supplies,
laboratory supplies, diagnostic imaging supplies, cleaning supplies, disaster supplies, miscellaneous minor equipment, and low unit of measure
(LUM) services provided to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) from June 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this action will result in expenditures of up to $236,383 and will be funded by 90% Hospital Enterprise Fund I revenues and 10%
American Rescue Plan Act allocations.
BACKGROUND:
Medline Industries is the primary distributor for medical and non-medical supplies and products for the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health
Centers. They have been awarded a Vizient Group Purchasing (GPO) agreement for the distribution of contracted and non-contracted supplies.
As a Vizient member, the CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers receive enhanced value from their participation in the Medline Vizient
contract. Additionally, administrative fees and program rebates are paid quarterly to the County for participating in the Vizient Medline
agreement.
In addition to providing medical supplies, surgical supplies, laboratory supplies, diagnostic imaging supplies, cleaning supplies, disaster
supplies, and miscellaneous minor equipment for CCRMC and the Contra Costa Health Centers, Medline also provides low unit of measure
(LUM) services. CCRMC's space constraints create challenges for providing a Low Unit of Measure (LUM) distribution program. The square
footage and floor plan of the warehouse is inadequate to store and properly inventory the thousands of Store Keeping Units (SKUs) maintained
on the static carts. Therefore, CCRMC utilizes Medline to maintain the items stocked on the carts and to be distributed to the various units and
clinics that are not available from the CCRMC warehouse.
On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.146 to execute a purchase order with Medline Industries Inc. in an amount
not to exceed $33,000,000 for medical supplies, cleaning supplies, disaster supplies, and miscellaneous equipment for CCRMC and Contra
Costa Health Centers for the period from June 27, 2019 through June 26, 2022.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On June 7, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved agenda item C.90 to execute an amendment to purchase order (#16157) with Medline
Industries, Inc. to increase the payment limit by $1,000,000 to a new payment limit of $34,000,000 to include low unit of measure (LUM)
services provided to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), and extend the term through June 30, 2022. Due to an oversight by
the Materials Management Accounts Payable unit, the amendment was understated by $236,382.60.
The vendor is entitled to payment for the reasonable value of its services under the equitable relief theory of quantum meruit. The theory
provides that where a vendor has been asked to provide services without a valid payment instrument, and the vendor does so to the benefit of
the County, the vendor is entitled to recover the reasonable value of those services. The vendor has provided services at the request of the
County. The Department cannot pay the vendor for services rendered as the purchasing instrument has reached the maximum amount
approved. As such, the Department is requesting that the Board authorize the Auditor-Controller to issue a one-time payment not to exceed
$236,383.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Centers will not be able to pay this vendor for services rendered in good
faith and as requested by Health Services Department staff.

(W4011C)
FISCAL IMPACT:
JOC work orders will only be issued when there is an approved project and funding. The contract value can range from a minimum of
$25,000 to a maximum of $5,400,000. The maximum contract value of $5,400,000 per annual JOC contract is a maximum limit based on
Public Contract Code Section 20128.5 (not actual appropriated dollars), and it is possible that the limit may not be reached. Having this
limit allows for efficiency and flexibility in accomplishing work up to the maximum statutory limit. (100% Various Funds)
BACKGROUND:
To be efficient in delivering projects, the County has employed a variety of project delivery methods. One such method is Public Contract
Code Section 20128.5, which authorizes counties to award one or more individual annual contracts for repair, remodeling, or other
repetitive work to be done according to unit prices. Once an annual contract is awarded, individual projects are then done through written
job orders performed by the job order contractor at the unit prices bid for the annual contract. Such Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a project
delivery tool that has been proven to reduce to reduce costs, save time, and increase productivity.
On July 28, 2015, the County executed a Consulting Services Agreement with The Gordian Group dba The Mellon Group to provide JOC
program development and implementation services for various County projects. As part of the agreement, Gordian also develops and
maintains a JOC catalog, also known as a "unit price book" that contains individual construction tasks for all aspects of the repair,
remodeling, and other repetitive work including general conditions, driveways, parking lots, and other construction-related components.
The Board of Supervisors has approved several amendments so that Gordian can continue supporting the program.
Since November 2015, the Board of Supervisors has awarded JOC contracts to the lowest bidders to work on repair, remodeling, and
maintenance projects countywide. With current JOC contracts awarded on November 2 , 2021 (JOC 016, 017, 018 & 019) expiring over the
next several months, we need Board approval to start solicitation of bids for Job Order Contracts 021, 022, 023 & 024.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements will be determined and addressed on a project-by-project bases as projects
occur. If annual JOC contracts are ultimately awarded under this solicitation, each will be a term of 12 months. The County reserves the
right to award one or more of Job Order Contracts 021, 022, 023 & 024. The County is not required to award all four contracts and is not
required to award any contract if the bid pricing is unfavorable.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The JOC program has been a valuable construction project delivery tool for projects. If JOC bid solicitation is not approved and authorized,
the County will not have the resources to complete deferred maintenance projects as described in the Facilities Lifecycle Investment
Program (FLIP) report and other County construction projects involving repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work.

Since 2015, Public Works Capital Projects Management Division has relied on JOC (Job Order Contractor) contracting for execution of a large
portion of its construction projects. The JOC program is managed by Gordian using their proprietary system and pricing catalog. The current
contract with Gordian has been continuous since 2015 and has been subject to four contract amendments which have collectively increased the

maximum fee under the agreement from $500,000 to $2,500,000 and have extended to contract term through end of 2022.
With the Gordian contract set to expire on December 31, 2022, action is required to keep the County’s JOC program functional. Public Works
currently has JOC contracts based on the Gordian system with four general contractors. Those contracts extend to various dates in February
2023. The contract duration of these JOC contracts dictates the time period in which Public Works can initiate job orders with each JOC
contractor. Projects initiated within the contract duration often last well beyond the termination date of the JOC contract, forming a “tail” to
each JOC contract duration. Therefore, it is reasonable to anticipate that the “tail” of the current JOC contracts will extend well into 2024.
To cover completion of job order construction projects assigned under the current JOC contracts, the current Gordian contract needs to be
amended to cover completion of those jobs. In addition, for Public Works Capital Projects Management Division to effectively administer and
construct County Department requested projects, it needs to be able to initiate new job orders under the Gordian system well into 2023. The
timeframe required to execute a new contract with a JOC Program Manager and to potentially solicit new JOC contractors for work based on a
new job order contracting system is likely six to nine months. Thus, a new system would not be functional until at least summer 2023.
To prevent an extended time period without JOC contracting capabilities, Public Works Capital Project Management has initiated a JOC
contractor solicitation for contracts to be in place the after expiration of the current set of JOC contracts in February 2023. Public Works will
only be able to execute contracts based on this solicitation if there is a Gordian JOC program management contract in place to manage those
contracts. Amendment No. 5 will allow the existing JOC program to remain functional until a new JOC Program Management contract can be
executed. Eventually, to resolve all job orders executed under the current Gordian contract, this additional amendment is required to cover the
“tail” period of those job orders.
Concurrent with those projects being resolved under current contract and this amendment, Public Works Capital Projects Management will be
initiating a new solicitation for a JOC program manager in Spring 2023, with the timing coordinated for the best transition from one program to
another.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If Amendment No. 5 is not approved, it is unclear how, or if, existing construction under executed job orders will be maintained and managed
such that the work can be completed. Furthermore, Public Works will be unable to initiate any new construction projects using job order
contracting as the delivery method until such time that a new program is established. Both of these operational consequences would result in
delay and added cost to multiple construction projects.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Information Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Allegis Group Holdings, Inc. (dba TEK
Systems, Inc.) in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000, to provide technical support and temporary technical assistance for the period of
November 15, 2022 through December 31, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost will be offset from charges to user departments for technology services and current projects waiting on resources. (100% User
Departments)
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) has filled nineteen permanent positions over the last eight months. However, due to
attrition, the department still has a high vacancy rate which requires additional temporary technical professionals. DoIT has used the contract
between Health Services Department (HSD) and TEK Systems to backfill current vacancies and now DoIT is requesting a separate contract
from HSD for temporary help on hard to fill technical positions throughout the county.
While the Human Resources Department has actively been recruiting to fill current vacancies, the labor market

Over the past several years the technology requests to support County business has increased significantly which has required more staff or
different skills sets to both maintain systems and implement new technologies. DoIT as well as other County departments will be able to
leverage this contract to achieve their business needs and to support their existing staff where there are vacancies.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this request is not approved, the Department of Information Technology will continue to function understaffed which will impact project
delivery for current and future Countywide projects, service delivery for daily operations, and may impede critical monitoring activity to guard
against cyber-attacks.
RECOMMENDATION(S):

Subject:Clarification of 10/18/22 Board Order Item C. 45 with Fresh Lifelines for Youth’s STAY FLY Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in Contra Costa County. The STAY FLY Program is a reentry program for ages 18-25 years old that combines law related education, case
management/coaching, prosocial events, and systems and community collaboration, to decrease youth’s justice system involvement, increase
youth’s academic progress, build youth’s social-emotional learning, mobilize non-traditionally engaged institutions to support youth at risk of
justice system involvement, and improve effectiveness of justice and education system practices for Transition Aged Youth.
On October 18, 2022 (item C. 45) the Board approved and authorized the Chief Probation Officer to execute a contract with Fresh Lifelines for
Youth to operate its STAY FLY Program for an amount not to exceed $1,043,045 with a term September 1, 2022 through October 30, 2025.
This Board Order is requesting your approval to change the term of the funding agreement to September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee to purchase, on behalf of the Health Services Director, up to $25,000 in
transportation and food vouchers from the following: 100 Tri Delta Transit vouchers each with a $27.50 value, totaling $2,750; 99 BART
vouchers each with a $6.90 value, totaling $683.10; 131 ARCO vouchers each with a $50 value plus $16.50 for ground shipping, totaling
$6,566.50; 100 Walmart grocery vouchers each with a $100 value, totaling $10,000; and 50 Target grocery vouchers each with a $100 value,
totaling $5,000 to be provided to low-income clients living with HIV or AIDS and served by the HIV/AIDS and STD Program for the period
from December 31, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $25,000 expenditure will be funded entirely by a Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant award, and no County
General Funds are required.
BACKGROUND:
The HIV/AIDS and STD Program within Contra Costa County’s Public Health Department received a Housing Opportunities for Persons with
AIDS (HOPWA) award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via the Department of Conservation and
Development (DCD) to provide food and transportation vouchers to low-income clients living with HIV or AIDS and actively enrolled in
Medical Case Management. The provision of nutritious food is essential to well-being and promotes better health outcomes for clients. The
provision of non-emergency transportation services through vouchers enables clients to access or be retained in core medical and support
services. All vouchers are distributed based on need as well as eligibility requirements outlined by HOPWA.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the HIV/AIDS and STD program would not be fulfilling the goals outlined in HOPWA Grant, and the health and
well-being of the clients enrolled in the program would be at risk due to barriers associated with low socioeconomic status.

Subject:Amendment #72-039-16 with West Contra Costa County Meals on Wheels
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, West County’s homebound senior citizens and HIV/AIDS patients will not receive meals which provide at
least one third of their daily nutrition.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract including modified indemnification with Pacific Records
Storage in an amount not to exceed $90,000 to provide climate-controlled storage of microfilm records.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total cost will not exceed $90,000, and is associated with the Clerk-Recorder's dedicated micrographics and modernization fund. The
agreement would have no impact to general fund monies.
BACKGROUND:
The Clerk-Recorder Division first selected Pacific Records Storage in 2018, as they were the least expensive, and most secure climate
controlled storage option to accommodate the department's thirteen 2500 lbs. fireproof safes for storage of microfilm records. Pacific Records
Storage stored department records in state of the art facilities, utilizes online inventory systems, and provides responsive customer service. The
department selected Pacific Records Storage as the best available option for these services through their established track record. Their pricing
schedule remains unchanged since the original 2018 agreement.
The contract has been approved as to legal form. It differs from the County's standard form in that it limits the contractor's liability to capped
rates for losses that result from contractor's negligence and does not require the contractor to provide legal defense for the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board not authorize the recommended action , the Department would need to attempt to identify another local and trustworthy
provider for climate controlled storage. Costs and liability associated with relocating stored microfilm to a new vendor could be expensive.
There would also be the potential for higher rates charged for services, and/or lower quality of services rendered.

Subject:Amendment No. 5 to CSA with Vanir Construction Management, Inc., for Construction Management Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
through May 9, 2023 and was approved by the Board of Supervisors July 30, 2019.
Amendment No. 4 increased the payment limit by $845,052 to $11,250,000 and was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 20, 2020
with no change to the termination date.
On December 7, 2021, the Board gave contingent approval to award a design-build contract to Sletten Construction Company for the WRTH
project. Amendment No. 1 to the Vanir contract provided for Vanir to provide construction management services for the WRTH project through
May 9, 2022, which was the expected project completion date, at that time. Delayed approval for state funding and necessary design scope
changes extended the design and construction schedule significantly. Amendment No. 5 will allow Vanir to provide construction management
services through design and construction of the WRTH project with its new expected project completion date of late December 2024. The
construction drawings are currently 50% complete. Construction is scheduled to begin early May 2023 and be completed in late December
2024.
On July 26, 2022, the Board approved a construction contract with Accurate Controls, Inc., for the Security Systems Upgrade project at the
Martinez and West County Detention Facilities. Vanir is providing project oversight of the design-build team through design and construction.
Accurate Controls is scheduled to complete the construction drawings and immediately begin construction of the conduit raceways in November
2022.
?
The State Fire Marshall has a new permitting requirement affecting the WRTH project which requires the County to provide third party
independent review of the smoke modeling used in the design for the WRTH project. Smoke modeling verifies that in the event of a fire the air
system will quickly and effectively limit the risk of smoke inhalation to the building occupants. The State Fire Marshall has provided a list of
approved vendors, none of which is currently under contract with the County. Vanir, by subcontracting with an approved vendor, is able to
provide this as a new construction management service within the timeframe required by the project.
In accordance with the initial underlying contract and subsequent Amendments 1-4, Vanir is already providing construction management
services to the County. In order to provide adequate ongoing construction management services for the described new work, Public Works
advises executing Amendment No. 5 with added fee and extended contract term as noted herein.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Public Works Department does not have the staff expertise to provide construction management services for a project of this scale. If the
amendment is not approved, the project will be delayed and most likely incur increases in the cost of construction.

Subject:Approve the Amendments to Reimbursement Agreements with Urban Tilth and The Watershed Project for the North Richmond
Watershed Connections Project.
BACKGROUND:
On October 8, 2019, the Board authorized the Public Works Director, or designee, to accept a State grant for $884,000 and to execute a
grant agreement between the SCC and the County for the design, construction, and long-term maintenance of the Project in the North
Richmond community. The County is working in collaboration with TWP and UT to plan, design, and construct the grant-funded Project.
On January 11, 2022, the Board approved and authorized the execution of an agreement between the County and TWP for the design,
construction, and long-term maintenance of Component 3 of the Project, consisting of wayfinding and interpretative elements along
Wildcat Creek and the Watershed Connection Route in North Richmond, and the establishment by TWP of an “Adopt a Tree” program in
the North Richmond community. The County/TWP agreement provided for the pass-through to TWP of up to $150,000 in funding from the
SCC grant.
On March 1, 2022, the Board approved and authorized the execution of an agreement between the County and UT for the design and
installation of Component 2 of the Project, consisting of sidewalks, bike lanes, and stormwater infrastructure in the North Richmond
community. The County/UT agreement provided for the pass-through to UT of up to $422,000 in funding from the SCC grant.
Effective April 25, 2022, SCC amended the grant agreement with the County to provide $41,000 in additional funding for additional work
to be performed by TWP, consisting of increasing Tribal engagement in the planning process for the Project and providing additional video
and audio Indigenous storytelling elements in signage constructed as part of the wayfinding and interpretive elements. The SCC grant
amendment also extended the dates for installation, invoicing, and maintenance of the Project improvements.
To implement the increased State grant funding and the date changes in the SCC grant agreement, the County and TWP would like to amend
the County/TWP agreement to provide $41,000 more in pass-through funding to TWP (i.e., increase the maximum reimbursement to TWP
from $150,000 to $191,000) and to revise the dates for installation, invoicing, and maintenance of the Project improvements. Staff
recommends that the Board approve an amendment entitled “First Amendment to Reimbursement Agreement—Installation of Wayfinding
Elements and Establishment of ‘Adopt a Tree’ Program in North Richmond” and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to
execute the amendment for the County.
To implement the date changes in the SCC grant agreement, the County and UT would like to amend the County/UT agreement to revise the
dates for installation, invoicing, and maintenance of the Project improvements, with no change to the maximum reimbursement to UT,
which shall remain at $422,000. Staff recommends that the Board approve an amendment entitled “First Amendment to Reimbursement
Agreement—Installation of Sidewalks, Bike Lanes and Stormwater Infrastructure in North Richmond” and authorize the County Public
Works Director, or designee, to execute the amendment for the County.
These two amendments have resulted from an increase in State grant funding and it is possible that the SCC grant agreement may be
further amended to provide additional grant funding or to modify dates or other grant conditions. To accommodate that potential situation
and to minimize the need to return such routine matters to the Board, the two amendments contain language allowing administrative
approval of any further amendments to the County/TWP and the County/UT agreements that either do not increase the reimbursement
limits to TWP or UT or that involve additional State grant funding.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the amendments are not approved by the Board, the County, TWP, and UT would not be able to take advantage of the $41,000 in
additional State funding or be able to implement the revised dates in the State grant for installation, invoicing, and long-term maintenance of
the Project improvements.

agencies across the United States and in numerous other countries. Axon was selected as the vendor which would provide the Office of the
Sheriff with the greatest value after a request for proposal (RFP) process in which several vendors submitted bids were evaluated. This contract
will allow the Office of the Sheriff to increase transparency, accountability, and thoroughly investigate citizen complaints, while also collecting
video evidence that can be used in future prosecutions.
Under the terms of the agreement, Axon’s liability is limited to the amount paid by County in the twelve months preceding the claim, except

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee, to purchase on behalf of the Health Services Department, up to $18,000 in gift
cards as follows: 200 Amazon gift cards each with a $30 value, totaling $6,000; 200 Target gift cards each with a $30 value, totaling $6,000;
200 Safeway gift cards each with a $30 value totaling, $6,000 to support activities as allowed by Community Mental Health Services Block
Grant and Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act for the First Hope Program for the period from December 1,
2022 through December 31, 2023, as recommended by the Health Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This $18,000 expenditure will be entirely funded by Community Mental Health Services Block Grant/Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA).
BACKGROUND:
The First Hope Program uses evidence-based treatments, modeled after RAISE/NAVIGATE, to promote client-driven, recovery-oriented
services based on engaging with clients' goals and promoting functioning, rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction. Clients and
families are provided with an array of services suited to their individualized needs across the duration of their treatment. The First Hope
Program services include, but are not limited to facilitating groups which promote healthy eating habits to assist with the client's overall health,
job workshops which assist with providing proper interview and job etiquette, and peer mentoring groups which are designed to engage clients
to participate in the First Hope Program groups and other various activities.
The First Hope Program will distribute gift cards to support activities as allowed by Community Mental Health Services Block
Grant/Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA).
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the grant funding would go unspent, and the funds would return to the funder.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the 2021/22 Animal Benefit Fund Report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. This is an informational report with recommendations that will not affect the amount of funds allocated for animal services
and programs, but rather how donated funds can be expended.
BACKGROUND:
In 1988, the Animal Services Department created the Animal Benefit Fund. The purpose of the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF) is to allow the
Animal Services Department to receive donations from individuals, animal welfare organizations and businesses, to support animal health and
welfare projects.
On April 21, 2015, during fiscal year 2015/16 budget hearings, the Board of Supervisors formally referred to the Internal Operations
Committee (IOC) a review of the Animal Benefit Fund. On April 19, 2016, The Board of Supervisors approved, at the recommendation of the
IOC, expansion of the Animal Benefit Fund approved uses (see attached Archived Board Order dated 4/19/16) and directed the Animal
Services Director to report annually to the IOC about the impact of the Animal Benefit Fund on the community and families, creating a new
standing referral. The IOC has previously received three such reports for FYs 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21.
Since the creation of the Animal Benefit Fund more than 30 years ago, monetary contributions and donations for services and supplies for
animal welfare have provided additional support for unfunded needs of the animals impounded at the shelter and in our community. These
donations have come in the form of grants or “soft ask” gifts over the counter or from the Animal Services Department website.

Subject:2021/22 Animal Benefit Fund Report
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2020/329. This authorized the Department Director to implement
the following programs within the Animal Benefit Fund:
Medical Assistance Program: This program is for medical assistance and emergency veterinary care for animals that are in the
County's jurisdiction and/or have been accepted into the County shelter’s care. Funds will be used for medical care over and above
the mandated medical care for animals in the care of the shelter and who need further assistance to be made available for adoption
or released to a transfer agency. Funds may also be used to provide necessary medical care to an animal to help keep the animal out
of the shelter.
1.
Humane Education Program: This program helps to support humane education services in our county either by bringing people into
County shelter or taking County education programs “on the road” into the community. Humane Education support may also be
used to help pet owners resolve behavioral problems that might otherwise cause them to give up their pet, to help shelter animals
with behavioral issues that might keep them from being easily adopted, and to create humane education programs for school age
children.
2.
Shelter Intervention Program: Often, families in a crisis turn to surrendering their pet to a shelter due to lack of financial resources.
The intervention program helps to provide resources to keep animals in their homes. Examples of intervention tools: spay/neuter,
behavior/training assistance, fence repair and grooming. This program may also be used to help domestic violence victims or
seniors on limited incomes to keep their pets in their lives when they may otherwise have had to consider relinquishment due to lack
of funds for basic daily needs or medical concerns.
3.
Spay Neuter and Wellness Program: This program would make spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchips more affordable and
accessible in Contra Costa County. Contra Costa Animal Services will accomplish this by establishing partnerships and developing
mobile programs to reach into the areas of our county in greatest need, targeting the species/breeds of animals most likely to be
found in our shelter, and supporting healthy community cats through TNR/RTF (trap-neuter-return / return- to-field) and Working
Cat Adoptions.
4.
ANNUAL REPORT
For FY 2021/22, the Department allocated $210,000 for Animal Benefit Fund (ABF) Programs. The ABF funds are not intended to replace
General Funds, rather they are to supplement and enhance our care for animals and support of the public. The table below details the
allocation, adjustment, and balances for each ABF program for FY 2021/22:
ABF Fund 133200 Amount

9966 Grants $100,000 $102,050 $2,050
Totals:$260,000 $323,727 $63,727
The key factors that affected the FY 2021/22 ABF budget were:
Underutilization of community partners spay/neuter contracts have continued to impact our service delivery. This is due to the
COVID-19 pandemics strain on availability of medical supplies.
1.
The Department did not meet its donation revenue goal estimated at $160,000 by less than $7,000 for FY 2021/22. The FY
2021/22 ABF donations did exceed our FY 2019/20 donation goal of $150,000. We do expect to receive a higher donation pool for
FY 2022/23.
2.
The Animal Benefit Fund (ABF) received $65,280 in allocations for the Spay and Neuter program. These funds were transferred
from the Animal Services Department budget.

ANIMAL BENEFIT FUND PRESENTATION
FISCAL YEAR 2021/2022
OCTOBER 26, 2022
The Animal Benefit Fund (ABF)
The ABF was established by the Contra Costa
Board of Supervisors in 1988 as a way to accept
donations from compassionate individuals who
want to help our shelter animals. All funds are
used to enhance the care and well-being of
animals in our shelters and to enhance programs
of humane welfare and education for the
residents of Contra Costa County.
In FY 21/22, ABF funds were allocated to a range
of projects and focused on three primary funding
areas:
▪Medical Assistance Program
▪Spay/Neuter & Wellness Program
▪Shelter Intervention Program
Medical Assistance Program
The Panda’s Gift Program was created to provide medical
services to animals in need that have conditions beyond
CCAS’ ability to treat. In partnership with East Bay SPCA,
CCAS applied $10,000 in Medical Assistance funding to help
pets with advanced medical needs beyond our shelter’s
ability to treat.
In FY 21/22, Medical Assistance funds were utilized to help
treat numerous pets and a variety of medical conditions,
including orthopedic injuries, enucleations, and amputations,
among others.
Medical Assistance Program
Joe-Joe came to CCAS in March of 2022
with a severely fractured pelvis. He
needed surgery to repair his pelvis and
to prevent chronic pain. Thanks to the
Medical Assistance Fund and a local
veterinary hospital, Joe-Joe was able to
get the advanced surgery he needed.
He was then transferred to a local
rescue group to recover.
Since then, Joe-Joe has been adopted
and is living his best life in the
Monterey Bay area!
Medical Assistance Program
The Spay/Neuter Assistance Program was
created to increase opportunities for low-cost
spay and neuter services in Contra Costa
County.
Working with our collaborative partners
Animal Fix Clinic, Paw Fund, Cat Support
Network and Pawsitively SAFE, ABF funds
were utilized to support low-cost spay and
neuter surgeries across the County through
local clinics, Trap, Neuter, Release (TNR)
programs, and mobile spay/neuter events.
Spay/Neuter & Wellness Program
In FY 21/22, the Spay & Neuter
Assistance fund helped over 800
residents of Contra Costa County
receive low-cost spay and neuter
surgeries for pets and community
cats. In addition to spay and neuter
surgeries, animals were also
provided vaccines and microchips,
if they were needed.

In FY 21/22, Animal Fix Clinic
utilized Spay & Neuter Assistance
funding to provide free and low-

Every animal also received
vaccines, microchips, and flea
medication, if needed, to ensure
they can live their happiest and
healthiest lives.
Spay/Neuter & Wellness Program
Pawsitively S.A.F.E. utilized Spay &
Neuter Assistance funding in FY 21/22
to spay and neuter 272 cats and kittens
in Contra Costa County!
In addition to the spay and neuter
assistance they provide, Pawsitively
S.A.F.E. administered over 400 vaccines
to cats in Contra Costa County and
helped local communities address
community cat overpopulation through
services and education.
Shelter Intervention
The Shelter Intervention Fund was created to assist Contra Costa
County residents who want to keep their pets out of the shelter and
at home where they belong. The fund is administered though the
CCAS Pet Support Program.
The program focuses on providing resources and assistance, such as
free or low-cost spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, temporary
boarding and much more, to County residents who are at risk of
surrendering their pet. During FY 21/22, Pet Support funding was
able to help County residents keep pets out of the shelter and in
safe, loving homes.
The real measure of the Pet Support Program’s success can be
found in the stories, photos and thank you cards we receive from
people whom we’ve helped keep their pet in their family.
Shelter Intervention
Pablo came to the CCAS Pet Support Program with
complications from a broken pelvis after being
attacked by another dog. The owner had taken
Pablo to the veterinarian after the attack, but the
needed amputation surgery was much more than
the owner could afford. The owner desperately
wanted to keep Pablo but was at risk of
surrendering Pablo because they could not afford
the surgery.
Utilizing the CCAS Pet Support Program, Pablo was
able to receive the amputation surgery provided
through Pet Support Program partner East Bay SPCA
and remains happily in his loving home today.
What Our Partners Say
“Animals in Contra Costa County, and their owners and
caregivers, are lucky to have the Animal Benefit Fund. We
have seen more and more people -who all want to do the
right thing for their animals -struggle with finances in the
post-pandemic economy. The support Animal Fix Clinic
receives through the ABF means we can help more of those
people help their animals. Seeing the animals return to the
community happy and healthy is what motivates us,
pandemic or not.”
-Dr. Jean Goh, DVM, Animal Fix Clinic Medical Director
“We very much appreciate the subsidy assistance
from Contra Costa County. The cost of our spay
and neuter program, with the administration and
outreach costs, as well as the veterinary costs is
the largest program expenditure for PAW Fund.
The subsidy truly enables us to focus on the
tremendous impacts and outcomes we see and
takes just a bit of pressure off.”
-Jill Posener, PAW Fund Executive Director
“We are grateful that the Animal Benefit Fund has provided significant resources toward our efforts.”
-Pawsitively S.A.F.E. Executive Director, Julie Rasmussen
Thank You To Our Donors!
The Animal Benefit Fund has allowed
CCAS to put ideas into action, the
results of which were highlighted
in this presentation.
To our donors, we say, “Thank You” for
believing in us and for providing us the
tools necessary to impact and touch even
more lives.
CCAS is grateful for each and every
contribution, funding that has allowed us
to save and transform lives in ways we
could have never imagined. We simply
could not do this without you!

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
>
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. The Animal Benefit Fund is the repository for community donations
that help to fund unmet needs of animals impounded at County shelters. The Animal Services
Department anticipates that approximately $150,000 will be received annually in donations. This
estimate is based on the amount of donations received by the animal shelter over the last 3 years.
BACKGROUND:
On April 21, 2015, the Board of Supervisors received several comments regarding the Animal Benefit
Fund from members of the public during fiscal year 2015/16 budget hearings. As part of budget
deliberations, the Board directed staff to include a review of the Animal Benefit Fund to a Board
Standing Committee for further review.
On May 12, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted the fiscal year 2015/16 budget. Included in the
Board’s action was the formal referral of this issue to the Internal Operations Committee.
On September 14, 2015, the CAO reported to the IOC on the history of the Animal Benefit Fund
(report attached hereto for reference). With the retirement of former Animal Services Director
Glenn Howell, further study on this referral was suspended until the new department director, Beth
Ward, could review the history and provide input and advice to the Committee. Following is the report
and recommendations presented Ms. Ward to the Internal Operations Committee, and which the IOC
approved, on March 28, 2016.
I. BACKGROUND ON THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER
The Contra Costa County Animal Shelter (CCCAS) receives approximately 12,000 live domestic and
livestock animals annually. CCCAS’ budget is designed to cover the basic needs of incoming stray,
abandoned, and homeless animals and our County licensing and field services departments. The basic
needs include food, prophylactic medical care (spay/neutering), antibiotics and general veterinary
supplies, emergency veterinary treatment, sterilization, microchips, and collars/travel boxes for animals.
As an open-door agency, the CCCAS accepts animals suffering from medical or behavioral conditions
that while treatable, may initially disqualify the animal from placement into a new home. CCCAS’
operating budget is currently not designed to fund extended medical rehabilitation for injured/ill animals,
behavior management, foster care supplies for orphaned animals, supplies designed to enhance animal
enrichment in the shelter environment, or marketing and outreach efforts aimed at increasing adoptions.
II. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ANIMAL BENEFIT FUND
In 1988, the CCCAS created the Animal Benefit Fund. The original purpose of the Animal Benefit Fund
was to allow the Animal Services Department to receive donations from individuals, animal welfare
organizations and businesses, to support animal health and welfare projects that are not funded by
departmental or general County revenue. Since the creation of the Animal Benefit Fund, monetary
contributions and donations for services and supplies for animal welfare have provided for unfunded
needs of the animals impounded in CCCAS. These donations have come in the form of grants or “soft
ask” gifts over the counter or from our website.
III. PROPOSAL TO EXPAND THE 1988 AUTHORIZATION
ARCHIVED DOCUMENT
In order to increase our ability to create more funding opportunities and clarity around how funds will be
used, the CCCAS is requesting that the Board increase the authority of the Animal Services Director to
accept any monetary donation, gift, bequest, or devise made to or in favor of the Contra Costa County
Animal Services Department as allowed under Government Code section 25355, approve the continued
use of the Animal Benefit Fund, establish new programs that receive assistance under that Fund,
authorize the Animal Services Director to solicit donations for the benefit of shelter animals, and require
the Animal Services Director to provide an annual report to the Internal Operations Committee.
The following are the program descriptions:
Animal Benefit Fund: Animals have a variety of needs, and CCCAS does not always have the
funds to address those needs. The Animal Benefit Fund may be used for such needs as medical treatment
of a sick/injured dog, orthopedic repair for a damaged limb, veterinary diagnostic tests, kennel
enrichment in the form of toys and beds, upgraded dog training supplies for volunteers such as training
collars/harnesses, nutritional supplies for orphaned puppies and kittens, print or radio advertising to
promote adoptions, and spay/neuter efforts. In addition to monetary donations to the Animal Benefit
Fund, wish lists, in-kind gifts, Amazon Smile gifts, and gift cards to pet stores, home improvement
stores, and other big box stores can also help us with these needs.
The Animal Benefit Fund would support the following seven new programs:
(1) Panda’s Gift Program: This program is for emergency vet care and goes to help animals
like Panda, a dog who was brought to us in distress, in labor with a deceased puppy stuck inside, an
old injury to her left eye and in overall poor condition. Our medical team acted quickly, rushing her
into surgery, removed the puppy from the birth canal, performed an Ovariohysterectomy, and did a
third eyelid flap to protect her injured eye. Panda quickly recovered from her surgery and acted like
a new pup, snuggling with her foster family and learning what it felt like to be safe and loved. A
family met and fell in love with Panda and took her home to join their household. Without
donations to this fund, happy endings like Panda’s would not be possible.
(2) Education Program: This program is to help pet owners resolve behavioral problems that
might cause them to give up their pet, to help shelter animals with behavioral issues that might
keep them from being easily adopted, and to create education programs for school age children.
CCCAS will be creating a program where local trainers will work with pet owners, shelter dogs,
volunteers and foster homes on reducing various behavioral problems, resulting in fewer
surrenders and more successful adoptions. This program can also help to support humane
education in our communities.
(3) Shelter Intervention Program: Often times families get into a crisis situation where
they turn to surrendering their pet to a shelter. Our intervention program would help to provide
resources to keep animals in their homes. Examples of intervention tools: spay/neuter,
behavior/training assistance, and grooming.
(4) Transfer Partner Assistance Program: This program would provide support to our
smaller transfer partners, who help save the lives of animals with medical concerns or basic
Spay/Neuter support for animals pulled from CCASD.
(5) Spay and Neuter Program: This program would make spay and neuter more affordable
and accessible in our County by establishing a donation subsidized voucher program to provide
free or low cost spay/neuter surgeries in collaboration with local veterinarians.
ARCHIVED DOCUMENT
(6) Pets for Seniors Program: A pet is sometimes the only companion our community’s
elders have, and the health and psychological benefits of having a pet are well-documented. This
program pays a portion of the adoption fee for qualifying seniors, allowing them to use the money
they saved to help pay for the initial items necessary for keeping a pet. This program may also be
used to help seniors on limited incomes to keep animals in their lives when they may have had to
give up their furry companion due to lack of money for basic daily needs or medical concerns.
(7) Discounted Adoption Program: Sometimes, we are critically full of pets waiting for
new homes. Rather than euthanize healthy adoptable or treatable animals, CCCAS discounts the
adoption of pets to give people even more of an incentive to adopt. CCCAS also participates in
national adoption events, promoting the placement of shelter animals. We are only able to offer
reduced-fee adoptions when we have donated funding available.
IV. OTHER PROPOSALS COVERED IN THE EXPANDED AUTHORIZATION
In addition to approving the formation of the new programs described above, the expanded authorization
would delegate to the Animal Services Director the power to accept any gift, bequest, or devise made
for the benefit of animals in the shelter through programs such as a car donation and planned giving
programs pursuant to Government Code section 25355. In keeping with this code section, the Director
will file a report with the Board every quarter that describes the source and value of each gift. An annual
report will also be provided that shares the impact of the Animal Benefit fund on our community
animals and families. As is required by statute, any gifted funds or assets will be used for those purposes
as are prescribed in the terms of the gift, bequest, or devise. The monies in these funds are not intended
to replace General Funds, rather they are intended to supplement and enhance our care for animals and
support of the public.
CCCAS is also requesting that the Director be authorized to solicit monetary contributions through
methods such as request forms included in dog license mailing, website information, and adopters and
owners surrendering pets being given the opportunity to assist other shelter animals by contributing at
the time of their transaction. Donations will be tax-deductible and acknowledged in writing to the donor.
Gifts by donors may be designated directly to a specific gift fund or program. Gifts received with no
instruction as to the use for a specific area or program or funds donated for “general animal welfare”
will be considered as part of the general Animal Benefit Fund. Monies raised through in-house
donations, and/or general fund raising activities shall be considered undesignated gift funds.
The Director will utilize these funds in a manner that is consistent with the specific purpose for which
they were donated. It is also important to recognize that these are donated funds and as such the use of
the funds to pay businesses, organizations and fund voucher programs for various services to support the
CCCASD programs would not be considered “gifts of County funds”.
Each year, the Director will recommend expenditures from the Animal Benefit Fund through the
budgetary process. Grants and designated funds shall be expended according to the grant or designated
gift. Designated balances of $50 or less will be rolled back into the undesignated gift funds.
Should the CCCAS wish to expend more than $25,000 per purchase order, CCCAS must submit a
request in writing for approval by the Board of Supervisors.
ARCHIVED DOCUMENT
The CCCAS anticipates that approximately $150,000 will be received annually in donations. This
estimate is based on the amount of donations received by the animal shelter over the last 3 years.

exclusive privilege of dues deduction for all employees in its unit.

additional one dollar ($1.00) per hour for a total Wage Supplement of two dollars and

Authority, wages may be reduced by an amount necessary to keep the total cost to the
County and/or the Public Authority the same as such cost existed on the day prior to the
effective date of such reduction or modification.

above-described loss of funding, but in no case shall the Public Aut hority be required to
increase its contribution toward wages.

fights and wins funding for IHSS. Should any extra funding be secured for the IHSS
Program, including any change to the State’s position regarding funding payments to
the Pension, the Union and the Public Authority will meet within thirty (30) days of its
approval to discuss the funding appropriations.

County
Subject:APPROVE Notice of Intention to convey Real Property to the City of Antioch, Antioch area.
BACKGROUND:
On March 24, 2020, the County purchased a 4.79-acre vacant parcel located along the southerly side of Delta Fair Boulevard, identified as
Assessor’s Parcel Number 074-080-034 (Property), from the City for the sum of $1.00. The Property was purchased for future development
of a facility for the County’s Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division (H3), for use as a navigation and assessment center,
emergency shelter, transitional housing and/or permanent support for homeless individuals.
The grant deed conveying the Property to the County contains two specific deed restrictions, one of which is the right by the City to reenter
and take possession of the Property if the County fails “to commence construction of the facility for the Approved Use within two years
after recording of the grant deed.” Due to various circumstances, including the Covid-19 pandemic, the County has been unable to break
ground on the project in the two-year timeframe. As a result, the City has elected to exercise its right to take possession of the Property.
The County is prepared to comply with the City’s decision and both parties have determined that a grant deed is the most appropriate
method to revest all of the County’s right, title and interest in the Property back to the City.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
County will not have fulfilled their responsibilities in the grant deed, which may cause the City to take action to enforce their reversionary
interest in the Property.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Director, Department of Conservation and Development, or designee, to submit Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan
Grant Materials to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, as recommended by the Sustainability Committee
FISCAL IMPACT:
Submission of the proposed grant materials is expected to result in a grant award of $750,000 to the Department of Conservation and
Development to fund the Just Transition activities described in this Board Order and the attached Project Narrative. No local matching funds are
required as a condition of the County accepting these funds.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2020, the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted a Climate Emergency Resolution that, among other things, resolves “that the
Board of Supervisors and the County Sustainability Commission seek input from the community (with a special focus on highly impacted
Environmental Justice communities), workers (especially impacted workers), and business/industry to help the County anticipate and plan for
an economy that is less dependent on fossil fuels, helps plan for a "Just Transition" away from a fossil-fuel dependent economy, and considers
how the County's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic can incorporate the County's climate goals. As the State of California adopts policies
and goals for reducing pollution and addressing climate change, the County will develop strategies to improve the health, safety, infrastructure,
job opportunities and revenue opportunities during the shift to a zero-emission economy. The County will provide special attention to helping
develop new opportunities for frontline and impacted communities that realize economic, health and other benefits. The Commission will
include this topic in its ongoing advice to the Board of Supervisors.”
The County’s engagement on Just Transition will build on and complement the ongoing work of the County and seven city partners on the
Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative, as further discussed below. In October 2020, the Sustainability Commission received a
report on Just Transition efforts in other communities in the U.S. and internationally.
In March 2021, the Sustainability Committee discussed options for a process that will facilitate an inclusive Just Transition. That meeting
included a presentation from Assemblymember Tim Grayson on AB 844, the Green Empowerment Zone legislation, which was subsequently

approved and signed into law. The meeting also included a presentation from Congressman Mark DeSaulnier on federal legislation he was
sponsoring to prepare the community for the impacts of refinery closures.
In 2020, two of the four oil refineries in Contra Costa County, Marathon and Phillips 66, submitted applications to manufacture renewable
fuel in lieu of fossil fuels. Those applications were approved by the Board in May 2022 and are awaiting permits from the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District. The approvals for both projects included detailed requirements to implement a Demolition and Site
Clean-Up/Reuse Program. Both refineries also entered into Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) that will provide substantial funding
to the County that the County will allocate to “projects and programs that benefit the communities near the Refinery by improving the
health, well-being, and quality of life of residents, and that support building and sustaining a strong and resilient local economy and
workforce, including the development and implementation of workforce development and training programs to prepare residents for new
renewable and clean energy career pathways and jobs”. Both refineries have also committed through their CBAs “to actively participate
with other appropriate stakeholders in planning and designing a Workforce Training Program for local community members related to
renewable and clean energy employment opportunities”.
The County is in the process of accepting a $750,000 Community Project Funding (CPF) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) to develop a Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan, a long-term strategic planning process resulting in a
roadmap for implementing land use changes to attract and accommodate businesses in the industry clusters identified through the Northern
Waterfront Economic Development Initiative (Initiative), which include advanced materials and diversified manufacturing,
biomedical/biotech, food processing, clean tech, advanced transportation technology, and other sectors that support the green energy
economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy; workforce (re)training to transition from fossil fuel-related industries to other forms of
production and employment that are clean and sustainable; and promoting equity in helping Contra Costa County achieve its economic
development goals. HUD has requested that the County’s grant materials be submitted by December 31, 2022.
The pending grant award is the result of the Board’s direction to seek a Congressional earmark for work on this topic and the work of
Representative Mark DeSaulnier and his colleagues to seek and secure a funding appropriation through the federal budget process. The
Sustainability Committee will be making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on how this funding will be used in the County’s
Just Transition efforts. The initial work on Just Transition funded by the federal grant is anticipated to be an 18-24 month process, and one
that will lead to further innovation, and, presuming additional funding can be identified, future phases to be pursued over time. Federal grant
funds will be used to lead a robust countywide stakeholder engagement process, ensuring that residents of impacted Environmental Justice
communities, workers and labor unions, business and industry, local government, environmental justice and environmental interests,
community colleges, the workforce development system, and other relevant stakeholders help guide the work and are invested in its
outcomes. The federal grant funds will also be used to conduct economic analysis identifying future opportunities and constraints as well as
land use and environmental analysis to help guide planning. Workforce transitions and training needed to support career pathways in the
industry clusters identified in the Initiative and the associated necessary investments in the labor force are another critical component of the
work to be initiated with the federal funds. The work will culminate in a Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan, which is a roadmap
to move forward with an equitable Contra Costa Just Transition. This will provide a sustainable, feasible plan to make Contra Costa the hub
for production and employment in advanced materials and diversified manufacturing, biomedical/biotech, food processing, clean tech,
advanced transportation technology, and other sectors that support the green energy economy-- with a trained workforce ready to go, and the
land use needs of businesses met in industrial areas that were historically part of the petroleum-based economic sector now transitioning to
a zero-emission economy.
The Sustainability Committee discussed this at a special meeting on October 24, 2022. Staff received direction from the Sustainability
Committee on the grant materials. The grant materials are being submitted to the Board with sufficient time to seek approval from the Board
of Supervisors prior to the submittal deadline.

Project Narrative
Budget
1
Project Narrative
Short Project Description:
The Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan (Economic Revitalization Plan) Project is a long-term
strategic planning process that will result in (1) a roadmap for workforce training and land uses changes
to attract and accommodate businesses in the industry clusters identified in the Northern Waterfront
Economic Development Initiative (the Initiative) and other sectors that support the green energy
economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy, and (2) an implementation strategy. The Economic
Revitalization Plan will help Contra Costa County anticipate and plan for the transition from a historically
petroleum-based economic sector to an economy that is driven by the industry clusters identified in the
Initiative including advanced materials & diversified manufacturing, biomedical/biotech, food
processing, clean tech, advanced transportation technology, and other sectors that support the green
energy economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy.
As the home to four of the five oil refineries in the San Francisco Bay Area, Contra Costa County is at the
forefront of a larger movement in California to revitalize our economy as we move away from fossil fuels
during the shift to a zero-emission economy. Contra Costa County is home to 25 census tracts that the
State of California considers “disadvantaged” using its CalEnviroScreen criteria. Many of these census
tracts are clustered in areas near oil refineries and related industrial uses. The residents of these areas
experience higher rates of asthma and other illnesses and have historically been underserved by our
government at every level. Contra Costa County is committed to addressing this historic injustice and is
looking for every opportunity to do so in this work by providing special attention to helping develop new
opportunities for frontline and impacted communities, including soliciting meaningful input from these
communities into the development of the Economic Revitalization Plan and improving the health and
job opportunities for residents in these communities.
The Economic Revitalization Plan is a time-sensitive priority; in 2020, two of the four oil refineries in
Contra Costa County submitted applications to manufacture renewable fuel in lieu of fossil fuels. Those
applications were approved by the Board of Supervisors in May 2022. The shift to a zero-emission
economy will affect the entire industrial sector as many supply chain companies are in the county. To
navigate this major shift in employment, revenue, and associated impacts, Contra Costa residents and
workers as well as the County itself want to ensure that there are intentional workforce and land use
transitions to support this monumental change. The intended use of Community Project Funding (CPF)
grant is the long-term strategic planning process resulting in the Economic Revitalization Plan roadmap.
Contra Costa County will support the remainder of the implementation strategy using existing County
revenues, and/or seek additional grants or philanthropic contributions, not yet in hand.
Detailed Description of Intended Uses of CPF Grant:
The intended use of Community Project Funding (CPF) grant is the Just Transition Economic
Revitalization Plan (Economic Revitalization Plan), a long-term strategic planning process resulting in a
roadmap for workforce (re)training and land use changes to attract and accommodate businesses in the
industry clusters identified in the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative (the Initiative)
and other sectors that support the green energy economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy, as
Contra Costa County transitions from its historically petroleum-based economic sector.
2
The Economic Revitalization Plan will help Contra Costa County anticipate and plan for the transition
from a historically petroleum-based economic sector to an economy that is driven by the industry
clusters identified in the Initiative including advanced materials & diversified manufacturing,
biomedical/biotech, food processing, clean tech, advanced transportation technology, and other sectors
that support the green energy economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy.
Using lessons learned from similar types of regions in transition-- such as Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power
Plant in San Luis Obispo County, California, and coal plants in Appalachia--the Economic Revitalization
Plan will create a framework for a uniquely Contra Costa just transition program that incorporates the
concerns expressed by frontline and impacted communities. The CPF grant will jumpstart this work.
The Economic Revitalization Plan will be aligned with and build on the County’s existing visions in the
Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative and the County’s Envision 2040 General Plan
update. It will provide special attention for developing new opportunities for frontline and impacted
communities that realize economic, health, and other benefits. It will develop strategies to improve the
health, safety, infrastructure, job opportunities, and revenue opportunities during the shift to a zero-
emission economy. It will also respond to the County Board of Supervisors’ declaration of a climate
emergency.
The intended uses of this CPF grant—and the activities of the Economic Revitalization Plan—are to
support a robust stakeholder engagement process, conduct specialized studies and economic analysis,
and support county staff-- culminating in a Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan, which is a
roadmap to move forward with a just transition in Contra Costa County. This roadmap will include the
workforce transitions needed to support this pivot, and the land use changes to attract and
accommodate businesses in the industry clusters identified by the Northern Waterfront Economic
Development Initiative and other sectors that support the green energy economy and the shift to a zero-
emission economy, as the impacts trickle along the supply chain and existing workforce pipelines.
This is a plan to make Contra Costa the hub for production and employment in advanced materials &
diversified manufacturing, biomedical/biotech, food processing, clean tech, advanced transportation
technology, and other sectors that support the green energy economy—with a trained workforce ready
to go, and the land use needs of businesses met in industrial areas that were historically part of the
petroleum-based economic sector that are now a long-term success in the transition to a zero-emission
economy.
The detailed descriptions of the activities that are intended for the use of CPF funds are below:
1.Community Engagement:
The Economic Revitalization Plan will support a robust stakeholder engagement process. The
communities closest to the refineries in Contra Costa County align with the State's
disadvantaged communities map and are the intended main beneficiaries of the community
revitalization planning effort in the Economic Revitalization Plan. The federal funds will be spent
for community outreach and engagement (including stakeholder meeting support services for
stipends, translation, childcare, and community ambassadors) and will identify the Economic
Revitalization Plan’s implementation priorities. The engagement process will include a
stakeholder table that includes the two members of the County’s Sustainability Committee,
labor/workers, frontline environmental justice community representatives, local government,
3
business/industry sector, workforce development and training entities, education sector
(community colleges / County Office of Education) and academic partners.
2.Economic Analysis:
The transition of two major refineries to manufacture renewable fuel in lieu of fossil fuels will
affect employees and all of Contra Costa County, which is home to significant off-site refinery-
supporting industry and employment, and the shift to a zero-emission economy will have even
greater impacts on jobs and revenues. The Economic Revitalization Plan will analyze impacts on
the current workforce and economy and will identify more specific economic development
opportunities for the affected areas. It will also identify areas for retraining the current
workforce for future high-wage jobs and training the frontline and impacted communities who
will be seeking employment close to home for jobs that have long-term economic benefit and
grow the local economy and tax base.
3.Specialized Studies:
The Economic Revitalization Plan will rely on additional specialized studies necessary to inform
the planning and public engagement process, likely including but not limited to environmental
studies, land use analysis, and analysis of similar efforts in other areas. The Economic
Revitalization Plan’s specialized studies will align with and build on existing priorities in the
Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative and the County’s Envision 2040 General
Plan update to support this transition.
4.Staffing:
Developing the Economic Revitalization Plan will take an estimated 18-24 months. We anticipate
the Economic Revitalization Plan will develop strategies that improve the health, safety,
infrastructure, job opportunities, and revenue opportunities during the shift to a zero-emission
economy. It will be of direct benefit in helping develop new opportunities for frontline and
impacted communities that realize economy, health, and other benefits.
The outcome of this process is the Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan, a long-term strategic
planning process resulting in a roadmap for workforce (re)training and land use changes to support the
economic transition that is unique to Contra Costa County.
Maximum Anticipated Scope of the Project:
The work of this project will continue beyond the usage of the CPF grant and will be sustained through
the anticipated development of a detailed implementation strategy and the proposed assignment of
an implementation coordinator to lead implementation of the Economic Revitalization Plan. Funding
for this implementation phase of the project has not yet been identified.
The implementation strategy will identify scalable projects from the findings of the Economic
Revitalization Plan’s economic analysis, specialized studies, and community engagement process. The
actual implementation priorities will be determined by the community engagement process. Examples
of projects that could be part of the implementation strategy include but are not limited to:
•Workforce development: Partnerships to support workforce development training programs for
the current workforce and frontline and impacted communities, including training opportunities
in high schools and community colleges.
4
•Economic development: Programs to attract family-sustaining jobs consistent with the Economic
Revitalization Plan and the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative and other
sectors that support the green energy economy and the shift to a zero-emission economy.
•Clean energy: Installations to benefit impacted neighborhoods and specified income levels in
affected community areas.
•Community improvement: Park, trails, and playground upgrades in affected community areas.
Environmental review will commence after the Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan is completed
and the pilot implementation project is identified. The pilot project will be consistent with the adopted
Five Year Consolidated Plan of the Contra Costa County HOME Consortium. The Department of
Conservation and Development at Contra Costa County has multiple in-house National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) experts and is highly qualified to
conduct the environmental review.
The implementation strategy will commence after the Just Transition Economic Revitalization Plan is
completed. Implementation will take an estimated 12-24 months.

A requirement of award for these funds is that they must be fully expended between December 31, 2022. Health Services Alcohol and Other
Drugs Services (AODS) submitted to the State an itemized budget with a proposed list of allowed SABG services including Recovery Housing.
The availability of excess or underspent SABG funds is unusual. The period of time allowed for counties to respond to this unique opportunity
was just a few weeks. The subsequent official approval of the State-County contract for the additional funds was also delayed and became
effective only at the end of December 2021. That DHCS approached our county corresponds to AODS's good standing with the State and the
State's confidence that the County has the needs and capacity to expend the funding within the stipulated short timeframe. The funds cannot be
carried over; if funding is not spent within the timeframe, it will be forfeited.

Subject:Request for a One-Time Waiver of the County Policy Requiring Competitive Bidding for Community-Based Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The County has a policy requiring contracts with community-based organizations in excess of $50,000 to be competitively bid. The policy
stipulates, however, that the Board of Supervisors may, upon the recommendation of the County Administrator, waive the policy. In
accordance with County policy, Alcohol and Other Drugs Services (AODS) distributed a Request for Interest on October 28, 2022 for funds
specifically to be utilized for Recovery Residences within the County with a deadline for responses of November 10, 2022 at 12pm PST.
The goal was to determine the level of interest in the funding prior to potentially moving to a full Request for Qualifications. As of the
deadline, only one interested party responded to the request. Due to the sole response, AODS is requesting to forego additional steps and
move forward without the required three responses. Under regular circumstances, AODS would adhere to County competitive bidding
policy and processes, and work closely with community-based organizations to establish contractual agreements.
If the waiver is approved, AODS would amend the current contract with Shelter Inc. with the additional funding and requirements. This sole
responder is a current Recovery Residence monitoring subcontractor with AODS that is in good standing and able to provide the necessary
services with this particular funding, which will expire on December 31, 2022.
Due to the extenuating circumstances just described, the County Administrator recommends a waiver to contract with an organization to
provide recovery residence services for individuals diagnosed with SUD and actively participating in intensive outpatient treatment
services. Because of the implementation of the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) in Contra Costa County, the
Health Services Department has effectively eliminated long waiting lists to enter SUD residential treatment. Likewise, as a result of the
DMC-ODS, the County received a waiver to fund recovery residences through SAPT-BG funds. Providing an AOD-free housing
environment supports outpatient SUD treatment and long term sobriety. Approval of this recommendation would help the Health Services
Department fulfill one of the proposed activities through the SAPT-BG grant award, further the goals of the DMC-ODS waiver of
implementing evidence-based practices, support the ongoing treatment of individuals in a safe AOD-free environment, and avoid the
forfeiture of supplemental funds to DHCS.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If not approved, the Health Services Department will likely forfeit some of the supplemental SABG funding designated for recovery
residences due to the short timeframe in which the funds must be expended.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Counsel, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County a conflict waiver acknowledging a potential
conflict of interest and consenting to Fennemore, LLP, doing business as Fennemore Wendel, representing the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority while continuing to provide legal services to the County related to eminent domain and real property matters.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
Fennemore, LLP (Fennemore) provides legal services to the County related to eminent domain and real property matters where the County is
acquiring property for County projects. Eminent domain is a specialized area of the law; the firm is one of a limited number of firms with
expertise in this area.
The firm was recently engaged by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) to serve as general counsel for CCTA. Because from time
to time the interests of the County and CCTA are adverse, to comply with the Rules of Professional Conduct promulgated by the California
State Bar, Fennemore is requesting

Subject:APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE CONFLICT WAIVER WITH FENNEMORE LLP
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
that the County acknowledge and waive any known potential conflicts of interest that may be caused by the firm’s representation of both
the County and CCTA, to the extent such representation is permitted under the State Bar rules.
Under the State Bar’s rules, in the absence of the informed written consent of each client, an attorney is prohibited from representing a
client if there is a significant risk that the attorney’s representation of the client will be materially limited by the lawyer’s responsibilities to
or relationship with another client, a former client or a third person, or by the lawyer’s own interests. (Rule 1.7(b).) Even when a significant
risk requiring a lawyer to comply with Rule 1.7(b) is not present, a lawyer is prohibited from representing a client without written disclosure
of the relationship to the client where the lawyer has, or knows that another lawyer in the lawyer’s firm has, a legal, business, financial,
professional, or personal relationship with or responsibility to a party or witness in the same matter. (Rule 1.7(c)(1).)
The potential for a conflict of interest between the County and CCTA exists whenever (i) CCTA is providing funding for projects being
carried out by the County, (ii) the County is providing funding for projects being carried out by CCTA, (iii) CCTA uses County-owned real
property for a CCTA purpose, and (iv) CCTA and the County negotiate a new or amended project or program agreement. These situations
are all unrelated to the work Fennemore does for the County on eminent domain. And in all of these situations, attorneys in the County
Counsel’s office will serve as counsel for the County to protect the County’s interests. For these reasons, this office recommends the County
consent to the requested conflict waiver, as described in the attached letter from Fennemore.
If a conflict arises in the future that cannot be waived, or if the firm determines it cannot provide competent and diligent simultaneous
representation to both the County and CCTA during the pendency of a particular matter, the firm will withdraw from representing the
County, at least until the matter causing the (more serious) conflict is resolved. Should this occur, the County will use other outside counsel
to handle any pending eminent domain matters.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County may need to contract with another law firm for these legal services.

Fennemore Letter
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. FIND that the Board of Supervisors has reconsidered the circumstances of the Statewide state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor on
March 4, 2020, and the Countywide local emergency proclaimed by the Board of Supervisors on March 10, 2020.
2. FIND that the following circumstances exist: (a) the Statewide state of emergency and the Countywide local emergency continue to directly
impact the ability of the Board of Supervisors in all its capacities, its committees, and its advisory bodies to meet safely in person because the
highly transmissible Omicron variant of COVID-19 and its subvariants are present in the County; and (b) the County Health Officer's
recommendations for safely holding public meetings, which recommend virtual meetings and other measures to promote social distancing, are
still in effect.
3. AUTHORIZE the Board of Supervisors, in its capacity as the governing board of the County, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, and the
Contra Costa County In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority, and its subcommittees, to continue teleconference meetings under
Government Code section 54953(e) for the next 30 days.
4. AUTHORIZE all advisory bodies, committees, and commissions established by the Board in all its capacities, including but not limited to
municipal advisory councils and the Measure X Community Advisory Body, to continue teleconference meetings under Government Code
section 54953(e) for the next 30 days.
5. REQUIRE advisory bodies, commissions, and committees whose jurisdiction extends into all Supervisorial districts ("Countywide bodies")
that hold in-person meetings to conduct these meetings in a "hybrid" format that permits members of the Countywide body, staff, and members
of the public to access the meetings both remotely and in person.
6. ENCOURAGE advisory bodies whose jurisdiction does not extend into all Supervisorial districts ("limited jurisdiction bodies") to conduct
any live meetings in a "hybrid" format that permits members of the limited jurisdiction body, staff, and members of the public to access the
meetings both remotely and in person.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
7. REQUEST that the Planning Commission, Merit Board, and Assessment Appeals Board consider holding teleconference meetings under
Government Code section 54953(e) for the next 30 days or holding meetings in a "hybrid" format that permits members of the body, staff,
and members of the public to access the meetings both remotely and in person.
8. DIRECT the County Administrator/Clerk of the Board and staff to the various Board advisory bodies to take all actions necessary to
implement the intent and purpose of this Board order, including conducting open and public meetings in accordance with Government Code
section 54953(e) and all other applicable provisions of the Brown Act.
9. DIRECT the County Administrator/Clerk of the Board to return to the Board acting in all its capacities, no later than 30 days after this
Board order is adopted, with an item to reconsider the state of emergency and whether to continue authorizing virtual meetings under the
provisions of Government Code section 54953(e) and to make required findings as to all bodies covered by this Board order.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is an administrative action with no direct fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On October 5, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2021/327, which authorized the Board, in all its capacities, and certain
subcommittees and advisory bodies, to conduct teleconferencing meetings under Government Code section 54953(e). This section of the
Brown Act, which was added by Assembly Bill 361, allows a local agency to use special teleconferencing rules during a State declared state
of emergency. When a legislative body uses the emergency teleconferencing provisions under Government code section 54953(e), the
following rules apply:
The agency must provide notice of the meeting and post an agenda as required by the Brown Act and Better
Government Ordinance, but the agenda does not need to list each teleconference location or be physically
posted at each teleconference location.
The agenda must state how members of the public can access the meeting and provide public comment.
The agenda must include an option for all persons to attend via a call-in or internet-based service option.
The body must conduct the meeting in a manner that protects the constitutional and statutory rights of the
public.
If there is a disruption in the public broadcast of the meeting, or of the public's ability to comment virtually
for reasons within the body's control, the legislative body must stop the meeting and take no further action
on agenda items until public access and/or ability to comment is restored.
Local agencies may not require public comments to be submitted in advance of the meeting and must allow
virtual comments to be submitted in real time.
The body must allow a reasonable amount of time per agenda item to permit members of the public to
comment, including time to register or otherwise be recognized for the purposes of comment.
If the body provides a timed period for all public comment on an item, it may not close that period before
the time has elapsed.
AB 361 sunsets on January 1, 2024.
Under Government Code section 54953(e), if the local agency wishes to continue using these special teleconferencing rules after adopting
an initial resolution, the legislative body must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency every 30 days and make certain
findings. The agency must find that the state declared emergency continues to exist and either that it continues to directly impact the ability
of officials and members of the public to meet safely in person, or that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to
promote social distancing.
The Board last considered these matters on November 8, 2022, made the required findings and authorized continued use of special
teleconferencing rules. The Board can again find that the Statewide state of emergency continues to exist, that the state and Countywide
local emergencies continue to directly impact the ability of the Board of Supervisors in all its capacities, and its subcommittees, and
advisory bodies to meet safely in person, and that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social
distancing.
The Public Health Officer has advised that the highly transmissible Omicron variant of COVID-19 and its subvariants are present in the
County. In addition, on November 17, 2022, the County Health Officer again issued recommendations for safely holding public meetings
that included recommended measures to promote social distancing as the current trends of COVID-19 case rates, test positivity,
hospitalizations, and wastewater surveillance are increasing (See Attachment A, Health Officer's Recommendations). Among the Health
Officer's recommendations: (1) on-line meetings (teleconferencing meetings) are encouraged as those meetings present the lowest risk of
transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19; (2) if a local agency determines to hold in-person meetings, offering the
public the opportunity to attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option is recommended when possible to give those at
higher risk of and/or higher concern about COVID-19 an alternative to participating in person; (3) a written safety protocol should be
developed and followed, and it is recommended that the protocol require social distancing - i.e., six feet of separation between attendees; (4)
seating arrangements should allow for staff and members of the public to easily maintain at least six-foot distance from one another at all
practicable times; and (5) all meeting attendees should be strongly encouraged to wear masks and to be up to date on COVID-19
vaccinations.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Board, in all its capacities, and its subcommittees and advisory bodies, would no longer conduct teleconferencing meetings under
Government Code section 54953(e).
ATTACHMENTS
Attachment A, Health Officer's Recommendations
Recommendations for safely holding public meetings
Each local government agency is authorized to determine whether to hold public meetings in person,
on-line (teleconferencing only), or via a combination of methods. The following are recommendations
from the Contra Costa County Health Officer to minimize the risk of COVID 19 transmission during a
public meeting.
1. Online meetings (i.e. teleconferencing meetings) are encouraged, where practical, as these
meetings present the lowest risk of transmission of SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID 19. This is
particularly important when community prevalence rates are high. Our current trends as of November
17, 2022 in Covid-19 case rate, test positivity, Covid-19 hospitalizations, and Covid-19 wastewater
surveillance are increasing. In addition to this, the predominant variant of Covid-19 being identified
continues to be the Omicron variant and it’s subvariants the impact of which on the spread of Covid-19
has shown to dramatically increase COVID-19 transmission.
2. If a local agency determines to hold in-person meetings, offering the public the opportunity to
attend via a call-in option or an internet-based service option is recommended, when possible, to give
those at higher risk of and/or higher concern about COVID-19 an alternative to participating in person.
3. A written safety protocol should be developed and followed. It is recommended that the
protocol require social distancing, where feasible – i.e. six feet of separation between attendees; and
consider requiring or strongly encouraging face masking of all attendees and encouraging attendees to
be up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccine.
4. Seating arrangements should allow for staff and members of the public to easily maintain at
least six-foot distance from one another at all practicable times.
5. Consider holding public meetings outdoors. Increasing scientific consensus is that outdoor
airflow reduces the risk of COVID-19 transmission compared to indoor spaces. Hosting events outdoors
also may make it easier to space staff and members of the public at least 6 feet apart. If unable to host
outdoors, consider ways to increase ventilation and flow of the indoor space to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 while indoors.
6. Current evidence is unclear as to the added benefit of temperature checks in addition to
symptom checks. We encourage focus on symptom checks as they may screen out individuals with other
Covid-19 symptoms besides fever and help reinforce the message to not go out in public if you are not
feeling well.
7. Consider a voluntary attendance sheet with names and contact information to assist in contact
tracing of any cases linked to a public meeting.

Introductory Elements
These elements provide a record of plan development, approval, and maintenance.
Preface
This plan was developed and is maintained by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office of
Emergency Services in collaboration with our emergency management partners. It facilitates
preparation, response operations, and short-term recovery activity for emergencies. The
plan includes guidelines supported by law, highlights emergency management best practices,
and provides a scalable and flexible approach to different types of incidents that may affect
Contra Costa County. However, this plan cannot anticipate all possible events and situations
in an emergency response. Conditions will develop in operations where standard methods
will not suffice. Nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as an obstacle to the staff's
experience, initiative, and ingenuity in overcoming the complexities under actual emergency
conditions.

Letter of Promulgation
This letter from the Contra Costa County (the County) Board of Supervisors serves as a dated
resolution recognizing and adopting this document as the County all-hazards emergency
operations plan (EOP).
Approval Date: November 1, 2022
To: Community of Contra Costa County
The preservation of life, property and the environment are an inherent responsibility of the local,
state, and federal government. Contra Costa County, in cooperation with the cities, towns,
special districts and partners in the county have prepared this emergency operations plan to
ensure the most effective response to emergencies.
This plan establishes the emergency organization, assigns tasks, specifies policies and general
procedures, and provides for the coordination of planning efforts of the various emergency staff
and service elements utilizing the California Standardized Emergency Management System
(SEMS).
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors gives its full support to this plan and urges all
officials, employees, and the residents, individually and collectively, to do their share in the total
emergency effort of Contra Costa County. The resolution adopting this plan supersedes prior
plans.
Contra Costa County recognizes the work by the many individuals and organizations that
collaborated to revise the Contra Costa County Emergency Operations Plan. Through the
coordinated efforts, this plan provides the framework for the best possible management of
emergencies and assistance to the residents of Contra Costa County when disaster strikes.
Chair, Board of Supervisors
Figure 1: Letter of approval

Approval and Implementation
This section introduces Contra Costa County (the County) Emergency Operations Plan (the
Plan), describes how it applies to the County, and delegates authority for an emergency
proclamation. Circumstances under which an emergency may be proclaimed are reviewed.
The Plan will take effect upon the approval by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
The Plan will be officially adopted and promulgated. The Plan will be distributed to those
county departments, supporting agencies, and community organizations assigned primary
functions or responsibilities within Emergency Operations.
Emergency Proclamations
An emergency proclamation may serve multiple purposes depending on the incident and the
affected entity. Being a prerequisite for a Governor or Presidential Declaration of
emergency, an emergency proclamation:
• Provides for multi-agency or multi-jurisdictional coordination in response to an
event where County resources are insufficient
• Provides for the use of emergency powers and expenditures
• Offers legal protection for public employees serving as Disaster Service Workers
and governing bodies engaged in the response
• Allows for the issuance of orders and regulations to protect life and property
(e.g., curfews)
County Ordinance §42-2.802 clarifies the authority to proclaim an emergency. To the extent
that the County Ordinance may conflict with the provisions of the State Emergency Services
Act, §8558, the latter shall prevail. When the Board is not in session, the County
Administrator has the authority to proclaim a local emergency after conferring, if possible,
with one or more members of the Board, including the Board Chairperson. If a conference
with the Board Chairperson is impossible, a proclamation in writing is required. Proclaiming
authorities include:
• The Board of Supervisors
• Incorporated jurisdictions as provided under their municipal codes.
o The jurisdiction shall advise the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff's
Emergency Services Division of the proclamation. Health and Safety Code
§101080 authorizes the County Health Officer to declare a local health
emergency in, “situations involving the release or spillage of hazardous
3
medical waste if the hazard or medical waste spilled is determined to be an
immediate threat to the public health, or whenever there is an imminent and
proximate threat of the introduction of any contagious, infectious, or
communicable disease, chemical agent, noncommunicable biologic agent,
toxin, or radioactive agent, the director may declare a health emergen cy and
the local health officer may declare a local health emergency in the
jurisdiction or any area thereof affected by the threat to the public health.”
When an emergency is proclaimed, the Contra Costa County Emergency Operations Plan
serves as the framework for guiding response, led by the Administrator of Emergency
Services (CAO), collaborating with the Director of OES or their designated alternates.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Director of the Office of Emergency Services (OES) or their designee oversees the
County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) (County Ordinance Code, Article 42-2.6). The
Director assumes the ultimate responsibility for implementing the Plan, and directs the
County’s emergency management organization, referred to as an Operational Area when
there is an emergency. The Director of Emergency Services, as supported by the Sheriff’s
Office of Emergency Services, has responsibility for the following:
• All phases of the emergency management cycle for the unincorporated areas of
the County
• Organizing, staffing, and operating the County Emergency Operations Center
(EOC)
• Coordinating emergency communications and messaging to the public
• Providing subject matter expertise and guidance to elected officials and other
organizations
• Maintaining information on the status of resources, services, and operations
• Obtaining support for the Contra Costa County Operational Area and providing
support to other jurisdictions as needed
Emergency Services Policy Board (ESPB)
The Contra Costa County Emergency Services Policy Board (ESPB) is an advisory body to the
County Administrator providing assistance and advice on emergency preparedness planning
efforts and the coordination of such planning efforts throughout the county. The ESPB
functions as the Contra Costa County Disaster Council. The ESPB reviews and makes
recommendations on the following as necessary for plan and agreement implementation,
Emergency Mutual Aid Plans and Agreements, Ordinances, Resolutions, and Regulations. The
County Administrator serves as the chair, and the Sheriff serves as the vice-chair of the ESPB.
4
Operational Area Council (OAC)
The Operational Area Council is created as an advisory council to the ESPB and is coordinated
by the Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Services. The Operational Area Council consists of
emergency managers from incorporated cities, special districts, key utilities, businesses, and
staff of the Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Services.
The OAC meets at least quarterly to discuss and consider countywide emergency
management areas, issues, and to make recommendations to the ESPB through the Office of
Emergency Services. OAC members may meet more frequently during an emergency
operations center activation for increased situational awareness. These meetings may also
be called Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) meetings.

Plan Development and Maintenance
This section explains why the plan was developed and how it is maintained and implemented. An
overview of the planning process is provided. The County emergency management organization is
described, and planning assumptions are listed.
Contra Costa County’s emergency management organization brings together diverse stakeholders
with varied roles and responsibilities throughout all stages of the emergency management cycle.
County departments, incorporated
jurisdictions, special districts, private-
sector, and non-profit organizations
together comprise the Contra Costa County
Operational Area, under the direction of
the County Administrator’s Office and the
leadership of the Sheriff’s Office of
Emergency Services.
This plan was developed to guide the
County through all phases of the
emergency management cycle by outlining
underlying assumptions and providing a
framework for interagency and inter-
jurisdictional coordination. The document
represents a single component of the
emergency planning process, developed,
maintained, and administered through the
Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services as
described in this document's Approval and
Implementation section. The Sheriff's Office
of Emergency Services is responsible for
implementing revisions that keep this plan
current. Revisions will be documented on
the “Record of Changes” form in this plan.
Contra Costa County takes a “whole
community approach” to the development
and maintenance of the Plan. Whole Community encompasses individuals, private and public
sector partners, faith-based organizations, community groups, and all levels of government.
Access & Functional Needs
A Whole Community Approach
The Whole Community includes individuals,
including those who may have access or
functional needs. The California Office of
Emergency Services characterizes the
following individuals as having access or
functional needs:
•Live in institutionalized settings
•Are elderly or unaccompanied children
•Are from diverse cultures
•Have limited English proficiency or are
non-English speaking
•Are transportation or communication
disadvantaged
•Have no access to a shelter and/or may
need to be assigned a Functional Access
Service Team (FAST) member
•Have disabilities – temporary or lifelong
•Have sight or hearing impairments
•May require medical care or supervision
•Other situations that would ensure
maintaining independence

Coordination with partners begins with this document and extends to all aspects of emergency
management in Contra Costa County.
Steps in the Planning Process
The planning process below is flexible and adaptable. Considerations should be made at each
step of the planning process regarding; training, exercises, equipment, and other requirements
within the jurisdiction.
Planning Assumptions
Planning assumptions are generally accepted facts that allow the EOP to be executed with a
shared understanding of what can happen in an emergency. The following assumptions were
considered in the development of this Plan:
• All incidents are local, may occur at any time with little or no warning, and may exceed
the capabilities of local government.
• Emergencies may cause casualties, fatalities, and population displacement.
• An emergency can cause damage to property, critical infrastructure, the environment,
and the economy.
• An emergency may interrupt public and private sector services.
• The more significant the complexity, impact, and geographic scope of an emergency,
the more multiagency coordination will be required.
• Mutual aid resources from outside the county may be required.
• Events affecting the Bay Area region may affect the availability of needed response
resources from outside Contra Costa County, including staff who work in Contra Costa
living outside the County.

• Contra Costa County’s Whole Community approach serves and integrates people with
Access and Functional Needs.
• This document will be utilized in coordination with applicable local, state, and federal
contingency plans.
• This plan does not supplant field incident command decisions or tactics in an
emergency.
Mitigation
Hazard mitigation refers to action taken to lessen or
eliminate long-term risk to people and property
from different hazards to which they may be
vulnerable. In addition to reducing the impact
of a disaster, mitigation activities help to
create safer communities by interrupting a
cycle of repeated damage and reconstruction.
Examples of mitigation activities include
projects to reduce risk, increase the strength
of critical infrastructure and identify and
protect lifelines into communities.
Preparedness
Activities related to developing and improving response and recovery capabilities are part of a
comprehensive preparedness program. Preparedness refers to a continuous cycle of planning,
organizing, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating, and taking corrective action to ensure
effective coordination during incident response. Examples of preparedness activities include
establishing mutual aid agreements, developing plans, training EOC personnel, and public
outreach and education. Within NIMS, preparedness focuses on the following elements: planning,
procedures and protocols, training and exercises, personnel qualification and certification, and
equipment certification.
Figure 7: The emergency management cycle
11
Response
Response activities are those elements undertaken when a disaster occurs or threatens to occur.
Response activities include identifying goals and strategies, coordinating operations, public
notification, public information, mutual aid, and planning during a disaster.
Recovery
Activities aimed at re-establishing normalcy within affected communities to restore the county to
its pre-disaster condition are recovery activities. Examples of recovery activities may be short-term
when they focus on stabilizing the situation, removing debris, restoring services, and re -
establishing different community functions. Longer-term recovery activities grow out of short-
term recovery. They include facility and infrastructure restoration, community planning and
rebuilding assistance, and mitigation strategies into rebuilding efforts.
12
Purpose and Scope
This section describes the purpose of the Plan and the scope of where it is applicable . The plan is
considered active upon approval. The conditions under which an emergency may be proclaimed are
described in the Approval and Implementation section.
Purpose
The Emergency Operations Plan is intended to:
• Provide the basis for coordination during all phases of the emergency management cycle
through an all-hazards, whole community approach.
• Establish operational concepts and standard operating procedures associated with
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activities.
• Describe the relationship between EOC activities and other emergency response agencies.
• Establish the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) and the
National Incident Management System (NIMS) within Contra Costa County.
• Address the needs of people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs
who may be disproportionately affected during and after an emergency. See California
Government Code section 8593.3, which defines access and functional needs.
Scope
This Plan applies to all emergencies in unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County when
coordination is required between multiple organizations or county departments, or both. This plan
also applies to emergencies within incorporated areas as requested by those jurisdictions.
According to this document, county departments and special districts are responsible for carrying
out emergency planning. Local jurisdictions are responsible for carrying out local emergency
operations planning per the California Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS). Local
jurisdictions, special districts, and emergency response agencies outside the Office of Emergency
Services are responsible for coordinating with the Office of Emergency Services for emergency
plans and standard operating procedure integration.
13
Situation Overview
This section provides an overview of the hazards and threats that may affect Contra Costa County.
It summarizes the county’s locale, risks, and threats and justifies prioritizing emergency
preparedness and planning efforts for specific hazards.
History
Contra Costa County was founded in 1850 as one of the original 27 counties of California . It is one
of nine San Francisco Bay Area counties and is California’s ninth most populous county.
Population
According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Contra Costa County has 1,165,927 residents, of which more
than 77 percent are over the age of 18. The census report shows that 178,527 of those residents
live in unincorporated areas. Most of the county’s population resides along the urban corridors of
state highways 4 and 24 and interstates 80 and 680.
Local Setting
Contra Costa County encompasses 804 square miles, of which 716 are land, and 88 are water.
Contra Costa County’s physical geography is dominated by the bayside plain, the Oakland and
Berkeley hills in the west, agricultural land, and the Delta waterways in the east. In between are
several inland valleys and Mt. Diablo, which at an elevation of 3,849 feet, is the most notable
natural landmark in the central county area.
Parts of Contra Costa County are connected to neighboring counties by bridges; the Richmond/San
Rafael Bridge in the northwest, the Carquinez Bridge in the north, the Antioch Bridge in the
northeast, and the Middle River Bridge in the east. The Caldecott Tunnel in the west is another
primary transportation connector to neighboring Alameda County.
Martinez is the county seat and is in the northern central portion of the county. There are 19
incorporated jurisdictions in Contra Costa County and 34 unincorporated jurisdictions, divided
among 5 (five) supervisorial districts.

Hazards in Contra Costa County
This section of the EOP consists of a series of threat summaries beginning with those threats
identified in the Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. It describes the local area,
risk factors, and the anticipated nature of situations, which could threaten or occur in the
County.
If future APPENDIX or hazard mitigation plan development results in a more current or robust
hazard or threat analysis data, future EOP revisions will incorporate that data into this section.
Hazards are not mutually exclusive, and one or more of these events may co -occur. Action
accomplishments in response to
hazards and hazard details are
provided in this document's
Appendices, separate from this
Plan and department-specific
Standard Operating Procedures.
In 2018 Contra Costa County
prepared a hazard mitigation
plan in compliance with the
Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA -
DMA; Public Law 106-390)
passed in 2000. This analysis
aimed to identify and discuss the
natural threats confronting
Contra Costa County
communities and the mitigation
efforts. Figure 10: Images of potential hazards
17
Contra Costa County is vulnerable to a wide range of threats. An all-hazards threat perspective
considers a complete range of threats including, but not limited to, natural hazards,
technological and structural vulnerabilities, biological and man-made threats. Emergency
planning should consider historical events and accommodate new planning assumptions as the
County population grows and threats evolve.
The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan utilizes Hazards United States (HAZUS), a nationally applicable
standardized methodology containing models and other specific disaster data, to estimate
potential losses from earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and hurricanes.
Probability and Impact
The criteria below were used to evaluate hazards and identify the highest risk hazard in Contra
Costa County.
The probability of occurrence of a hazard is based on the likelihood of an annual occurrence.
The possibility of annual occurrence is assessed using past hazard events in the area and the
potential for changes in the frequency of these events due to climate change.
Hazard impact is assessed based on effects on people, property, and the local economy. The
following chart assigns the value based on the total population exposed to the hazard event. Natural•Earthquakes
•Landslide
•Wildfire
•Severe

Earthquake
Earthquakes are unpredictable. They vary significantly in size and intensity and can cause
devastation. Although infrequent, significant earthquakes have tremendous potential for loss of
life, property damage, and the environment.
Major fault lines that could potentially impact Contra Costa County and surrounding counties
include:
• The Hayward Fault, which runs along the west end of the County
• The Rogers Creek Fault is in the north-central area of the County and runs under the
Buchanan Airport
• The Concord Green Valley Fault, which is in the east end of the County
• The Mount Diablo Thrust Fault, along the southwest perimeter of Mount Diablo
• The Greenville Fault in the east end of the County and under several of the levee
protected islands
• The Calaveras Fault runs through the south-central corridor near the I-680 Freeway
• The San Andreas Fault is west of Contra Costa County
Critical petrochemical businesses located along the industrial corridor and other essential
facilities in the County can create additional hazards if severely damaged during a large
earthquake.

Landslide
The U.S. Geological Survey definition of landslides includes many ground movements, such as
rockfalls, profound failure of slopes, and shallow debris flows. Although gravity acting on an
over-steepened pitch is the primary reason for a landslide, other contributing facto rs exist.
Landslides commonly occur with other major natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires,
and floods. However, average seasonal rainfall, erosion, and occasionally wildlife may also
contribute to landslide events.
Landslides have occurred in conjunction with heavy rain events in Contra Costa County. There
are no records of fatalities attributed to mass ground movement in the county. However,
deaths have occurred across the west coast because of landslides and slope collapses.
Severe Weather
Severe weather refers to any dangerous meteorological phenomena that can cause damage,
severe social disruption, or loss of human life. It includes thunderstorms, downbursts,
tornadoes, waterspouts, snowstorms, ice storms, and dust storms. It is important to note that
when “severe weather” is used, it refers to many sub-hazards in aggregate. Severe weather
refers to dangerous conditions such as extreme hot or cold temperatures, high winds, or
excessive rainfall. All weather-related emergencies can cause damage, severe social disruption,
or loss of human life, especially amongst those experiencing homelessness, those considered
medically fragile, and the elderly population.
Wildland Fire
The combination of highly flammable fuel, long dry summers, and steep slopes create a
significant natural hazard of large wildland fires in many areas of Contra Costa County. A
wildland fire is a fire whose primary fuel is natural vegetation. Wildland fires can consume
thousands of acres of vegetation, timber, and agricultural lands. Fires ignited in wildland areas
can quickly spread to places where residential or commercial structures intermingle with
wildland vegetation. Similarly, fires that start in urbanized areas can grow into wildland fires.
The pronounced Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) significantly increases fire hazards in
populations with high structure densities adjacent to undeveloped open space areas with
narrow roads and dense vegetation. WUI fires may result in death, injury, economic loss, and a
significant public investment in firefighting activities. July through November have the greatest
potential for wildland fires as vegetation dries out, humidity levels fall, and offshore winds
blow. Weather, topography, and fuel are the top three factors that affect wildland fire
behavior. Such fires expose residential and other development within the County to an
increased risk of conflagration or extensive fire, which destroys a great deal of land or property.
21
Dam Failure
Although rare, dam failures can cause sudden and catastrophic flooding in communities
downstream, leading to injury, loss of life, and significant property damage. Some of the
primary causes of a dam's collapse and structural failure include severe storms, earthquakes,
internal erosion of piping, and foundation leakage. According to the 2013 State of California
Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan, there have been nine failed Federally regulated dams in the state
since 1950, none of them in Contra Costa County. The most likely disaster-related causes of
dam failure in Contra Costa County are earthquakes, excessive rainfall, and landslides.
Levee Failure
Two types of levees are present in the San Joaquin -Sacramento River Delta area of Contra Costa
County:
• Project levees are part of an authorized federal flood control project on the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta system. These levees deliver irrigation and drinking
water. The County maintains over 385 miles of project levees built to the highest level of
flood protection standards and inspected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
• All other levees in the Delta are "non-project" or "local" levels. These levees, totaling
730 miles in length, are maintained by local reclamation districts.
Levees are considered manufactured structures, usually earthen embankments, and are
constructed to contain, control, or divert a water flow to protect the land from peak flood
levels or to protect land below sea level. The most severe flood hazard in Contra Costa County
relates to the system of levees that protect the islands and adjacent mainland in the San
Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta area in eastern Contra Costa.
Flood
Flooding poses a severe risk to life, property, the environment, public health and safety, and
the economic impact of affected areas. The majority of the County's creeks and shoreline areas
are within the 100-year flood plain. During heavy rainstorms, water levels can rise quickly,
especially in small streams and near the headwaters of river basins. Flash floods can begin
before the rain stops falling. The most severe flood hazard in Contra Costa County relates to
levees that protect the islands and adjacent mainland in the San Joaquin -Sacramento River
Delta area in eastern Contra Costa County. Levees are subject to failure without warning;
however, the threat increases during an earthquake or severe flooding .
22
Sea Level Rise
Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water
from melting ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of seawater as it warms. Sea level rise
will cause currently dry areas to be permanently or chronically inundated. Temporary
inundation from extreme tide events and storm surges also will change. Unlike many other
impacts resulting from climate change, sea-level rise will have a defined extent and location.
Although the magnitude and timing of sea-level rise are uncertain, assessing potential areas at
risk provides information appropriate for planning purposes .
Tsunami
A tsunami is a wave, or series of waves, generated by an earthquake, landslide, volcanic
eruption, or even a giant meteor hitting the ocean. What typically happens is that a sizeable
sub-marine earthquake creates an upward movement of the seafloor, lifting the overlying
seawater. This uplifted water then falls and radiates away from this center in all directions as a
tsunami. A tsunami can travel across the open ocean at about 500-miles per hour. As the wave
approaches land, the ocean shallows, slowing down to about 30 miles per hour and growing
significantly in height. While damaging tsunamis have occurred infrequently in California, they
are a possibility that our coastal communities must consider. The most likely site of tsunami
impacts in Contra Costa County is along San Pablo Bay.
Drought
The National Integrated Drought Information System characterizes drought as “a deficiency of
precipitation over an extended period (usually a season or more), resulting in a water
shortage.” Multi-year droughts may result in water shortages, impacting water available for
human consumption and agriculture production within the Coun ty.
Drought is a gradual phenomenon that often takes several consecutive winters with less than
average precipitation to produce a significant impact. Drought creates a complex web of
environmental and economic effects that spans many sectors. Drought imp acts include a
reduction in food crops, increased livestock and wildlife mortality rates, increased fire hazards,
and decreased water levels, leading to rationing. The consequences of these impacts illustrate
indirect effects. For example, a reduction in crops, rangeland, and forest productivity may result
in reduced income for farmers and agribusiness, increased prices for food and timber,
unemployment, reduced tax revenues, and an increase in crime.
Drought cycles typically occur every 7‐11 years. During periods of drought, emergency response
measures will consist of land use planning practices consistent with water conservation goals
and various water conservation measures.
23
Pandemic
A pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for
instance multiple continents or worldwide. Past viral pandemics have gravely impacted
economic systems, and overwhelmed health care systems.
Pandemics are unlike other public health emergencies or community disasters in that:
• There may be a minimal warning. Most experts believe that we will have between one
and six months before identifying a novel virus strain and the time that outbreaks begin
to occur in the U.S.
• Simultaneous outbreaks have a high probability of occurring throughout much of our
Country, preventing sharing of human and material resources that generally occur with
other natural disasters.
• The effect of the particular virus on individual communities will be relatively prolonged–
weeks to months–compared to minutes to hours observed in most other natural
disasters.
• Effective preventive and therapeutic measures will likely be in short supply.
Widespread illness in the community will also increase the likelihood of sudden and significant
personnel shortages in sectors that provide critical community services: healthcare workers,
military personnel, police, emergency medical technicians and paramedics, firefighters, utility
workers, child-care providers, and transportation workers are especially vulnerable.
Capability Assessment
A capability assessment provides part of the foundation for determining emergency
management, preparedness, and mitigation strategy. The assessment process also identifies
gaps or weaknesses that may need to be addressed through preparedness planning goals and
practical actions considering the jurisdiction’s capabilities to implement them. Finally, the
capability assessment highlights the positive measures that are in place or underway for
continued support and enhancement of the jurisdiction’s preparedness and response efforts.
Contra Costa County has implemented many capabilities to prepare for, respond to, recover
from, and mitigate the effects of an emergency or disaster. In addition to the county, cities, and
towns within the county maintain local response capabilities and mutual aid agreements to
assist when resources are exhausted.
As outlined in the County Ordinance Code §42-2.204, Contra Costa County has committed to:
24
• The preparation and effectuation of plans to protect persons and property in this county
in emergencies.
• The creation, direction, and operation of the county emergency organization.
• The coordination of the county’s emergency services and functions with those of other
public and private entities, organizations, and persons. (Contra Costa County Ords. 82-
55 §1, 72-83)
Mitigation Overview
Many jurisdictions have taken mitigation measures to minimize the impact likely to result from
the hazards. Contra Costa County’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies mitigation efforts to
reduce the likelihood that a defined hazard will impact our communities . As the cost of damage
from disasters increases, the County recognizes the importance of identifying effective ways to
reduce vulnerability to disastrous events.
25
PART I: BASIC PLAN
Concept of Operations
This section explains the County’s intent during the response phase of the emergency
management cycle concerning emergency operations. It outlines the guiding frameworks within
which emergency management operations are carried out and assists in reviewing operational
priorities.
Local jurisdictions are responsible for protecting life, property, the environment, and
restoration of services. This is achieved through the Emergency Management Cycle: Disasters
do not appear one day – they exist throughout time and have a life cycle of occurrence . A series
of management phases match this cycle: establish strategies to mitigate hazards, prepare for
and respond to emergencies, and recover from effects.
The OES staff and EOC staff routinely monitor events and the environment to identify specific
threats that may affect the operational area. The increase in the awareness level of emergency
personnel and the community improves operational readiness when a threat is approaching o r
imminent.
Ongoing awareness allows operational area response agencies to enhance leadership decision-
making. Examples of readiness and response efforts include:
• Testing tools, such as the Community Warning System.
• Reviewing plans, procedures, and resource checklists.
• Preparing and disseminating information to the community.
• Briefing government officials.
• Activating emergency operations centers or department operations centers .
Incident goals govern resource allocation and the response strategies for the County and its
local jurisdictions during an emergency. Below is a list of operational priorities:
• Save Lives – The preservation of life is the top priority of emergency managers and first
responders and takes precedence over all other considerations.
• Protect Property – Efforts must be made to protect public and private property and
resources, including critical infrastructure, from damage during and after an emergency.
• Preserve the Environment – Efforts must be made to preserve Contra Costa County’s
environment and protect it from damage during an emergency.
26
• Restore Essential Services – Power, water, sanitation, communication, transportation,
and other essential services must be restored as rapidly as possible to assist the
community in returning to normal daily activities.
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Coordination Levels
The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) is required by Government Code
Section 8607(a) to manage emergencies involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies. SEMS
consists of five organizational sections (management, plans/intelligence, operations, logistics,
and finance/administration). These sections aid coordination and communication between the
five levels of the system (State, Regional, Operational Area, Local, and Field).
SEMS incorporates the Incident Command System (ICS), the Master Mutual Aid Agreement
(MMAA), existing mutual aid systems, the operational area concept, and multi-agency or inter-
agency coordination. Local governments must use SEMS to be eligible for funding of their
response-related costs under state disaster assistance programs.
•Manages State resources to meet emergency needs of other levels
•Coordinates mutual aid among regions and between regional and state levels
•Serves as the communication link between the State and Federal response system
State Level
•Manages and coordinates resources among operatonal areas
•Coordinates information sharing between operational areas and the State level
•Oversees State support for emergency response
Regional Level
•Encompasses the county and all political subdivisions in the county, including special districts
•Manages and coordinates information, resources, and priorities among local governments
•Serves as the coordination and communication link between local and regional levels
Operational Area
•Includes cities, counties, and special districts
•Manages and coordinates overall emergency response and recovery activities in their jurisdiction
Local Government
•Emergency responders carry out tactical decisions and activities in the direct response to a threat
•Requires the use of Incident Command System (ICS)
Field Response
Figure 14: SEMS management levels of response
27
In compliance with the SEMS Regulations, the County has EOC staff to manage emergency
responses within the County’s jurisdiction. The EOC Director in collaboration with department
heads and OES staff requests team members, as needed, to the County EOC to carry out their
duties. The Contra Costa County EOC staff is responsible for coordinating resources, strategies,
and policy for any event in the Operational Area (OA) that exceeds the capabilities of first
responders. Tactical control remains the responsibility of field Incident Commanders (ICs) at all
times. SEMS is intended to:
• Facilitate the flow of information within and between levels of the system
• Facilitate coordination and communication among all responding agencies
• Improve the mobilization, deployment, utilization, tracking, and demobilization of
mutual aid resources.
SEMS Field and EOC Functions and how they relate are further illustrated in the following chart:
Figure 15: SEMS Field and EOC functions
28
Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System
(NIMS)
The Incident Command System (ICS) is used for the command, control, and coordination of
emergency response. ICS incorporates personnel, policies, procedures, facilities, and
equipment, integrated into a common organizational structure designed to improve emergency
response operations of all types and complexities.
A few characteristics of ICS include:
• Span of control – one supervisor for every 3 to 7 staff members
• Personal accountability – identifying roles and responsibilities
• Common terminology – a language shared among agencies and jurisdictions
• Resource management – coordinated distribution of resources based on priorities
• Integrated communications – ensuring communication systems are interoperable
• First responders – tactical control remains the responsibility of field Incident
Commanders at all times
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a comprehensive, national approach to
incident management applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines. It is
intended to:
• Be applicable across a full spectrum of potential incidents, hazards, and impacts,
regardless of size, location, or complexity.
• Improve coordination and cooperation between public and private entities in various
incident management activities.
• Provide a common standard for overall incident management.
California Emergency Support Functions
The California Emergency Support Functions (CA-ESFs) are a grouping of functions with
activities and responsibilities, which lend themselves to improving the state’s ability to prepare
for, effectively mitigate, cohesively and collaboratively respond to, and rapidly recover from
any emergency. CA-ESFs unify a broad spectrum of stakeholders with various capabilities,
resources, and authorities to improve coordination for a discipline .
The County’s emergency management organization follows the Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS) structure and principles, including organization around Emergency
Support Functions (ESFs). The County also follows the Federal Incident Command System (ICS).
29
The daily planning process brings together partners and stakeholders through a whole
community approach under the ESF structure. During an emergency, the ESF format is
incorporated into an ICS response structure following SEMS.
Figure 16: Contra Costa County EOC Organizational Chart
30
Contra Costa County uses CA-ESFs as a guide in local planning efforts. Each function is led by a
County department and supported by stakeholders who work within the scope of that function .
These include special districts, private, and non-profit organizations. Together, these ESFs are
responsible for developing functional plans and documentation.
The following table illustrates the CA-ESF’s and the appropriate county department leads:

Emergency Operations Center Organization
This section describes the organizational structure of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
Communications and coordination between the EOC and with operational area partner s are
outlined. The ways that the EOC coordinates resources and facilitates information sharing among
active area partners are described.
Incidents begin locally at the field level. Field personnel activate different organizational
components as incidents grow in complexity. Field offices, departments, department operations
centers (DOCs), and emergency operations centers (EOCs) activate in support of the field
operations. These principles adhere to the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)
process. Local jurisdictions activate their EOCs based on the need for greater coordination in an
emergency. When activated, local EOCs help form a common operating picture of the incident by
collecting, analyzing, disseminating emergency information, and supporting field operations
through resource coordination. Local EOCs may activate in support of local departmental
operations centers (DOCs). Local EOCs may be established by cities, towns, and special districts.
This hybrid ICS and SEMS organizational chart describes the involvement of special districts, private
and non-profit agencies. Further explanation of the roles played by these groups within the County
Emergency Management Organization is provided in the ESF chart on pages 30-32.

Figure 18: ICS section responsibilities
Primary and Alternate EOC
OES designates the location of the Emergency Operation Center. The primary site is at the Contra
Costa Office of the Sheriff Administration building at 1850 Muir R oad in the City of Martinez.
Additional EOC space is available at the exact location. In the case of an inoperable primary EOC,
an alternate EOC may be identified and established based on the site, size, and scope of an
35
incident. Day-to-day functions will be maintained in the most appropriate government facility
available with involvement from other organizations, special districts, private and nonprofit
entities.
Response, Resource Coordination, and Mutual Aid
During the response phase, emphasis is placed on saving lives, protecting property and the
environment, and restoring services to minimize the effects of the disaster. Below are key actions
to be taken:
• Alert and Notification - Local response agencies are alerted about an incident.
Notifications go out to first responders as well as the public.
• Mobilization - As an incident escalates and expands, additional resources are activated by
the Operational Area and mobilized to support the response. This includes resources from
within the county or, when resources are exhausted, from surrounding jurisdictions
through mutual aid agreements.
• Resource Coordination - The Contra Costa County EOC staff will coordinate resource
requests from the local municipalities within the Operational Area (OA). If demands exceed
the supply in the OA, the Operations Section will provide resources based on established
Operational Area priorities. If resources are not available within the OA, requests will be
made according to SEMS.
• Mutual Aid – Under California’s Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement
(MMAA), statewide emergency assistance is provided voluntarily from one jurisdiction to
another at no cost to the receiving jurisdiction. Mutual aid ensures that adequate
resources, facilities, and other emergency support are provided to jurisdictions whenever
their resources prove inadequate to cope with a given situation.
• Documentation - Documentation is the key to recovering eligible emergency response and
recovery costs. Damage assessment documentation is critical in establishing eligibility for
disaster assistance programs. Responsibility for maintaining Emergency Operations Center
records rests with the entire Contra Costa County EOC staff.
Operational Area (OA) EOC Activation
The purpose of the OA EOC is to acquire and coordinate resources within the Operational Area as
requested by field operations, DOCs, or local EOCs. This may involve coordinating resources from
one local jurisdiction to another or coordinating resources from other operational areas, the state,
or the federal government. The Operational Area EOC may also activate to coordinate the
deployment of resources to other operational areas.
36
The County EOC operates at different levels depending on the requirements of an incident :
Department Operation Center Activation
Departments within jurisdictions may activate DOCs based on the needs of field operations during
a disaster. Their primary function is to coordinate and control actions specific to that department
during an emergency event. DOCs may activate in conjunction with EOCs or may activate
independently.
EOC Reporting System
Contra Costa County currently has a web -based crisis management reporting system (Web EOC)
during emergencies. Web EOC aims to improve the county’s ability to respond to major disasters.
The county’s Web EOC includes all incorporated jurisdictions and special districts in the
Operational Area (OA). Web EOC assists in increasing the level of service and efficiency by
improving the county’s ability to respond to, manage, coordinate requests for resources, and
disseminate information throughout the emergency management process during a disaster.

Continuity of Government
Provisions for continuity of government and the retention of vital records are outlined in this
section.
Threats to Contra Costa County have a single common ality: the interruption of one or more critical
government functions vital to the public's health, safety, or welfare. The fundamental mission of
Contra Costa County is the reliability of service, particularly in times of emergency. Public trust is
based on the delivery of vital government services. Planning authority is accomplished by
preparing for a succession of officers, designation of standby officers, administration of oaths of
office, and continuation of duties of the governing body. See the county continuity of government
and department continuity of operations plans for additional information.
Vital Records Retention
In Contra Costa County, the County Recorder is responsible for preserving vital statistics.
Vital statistics are defined as those records that are essential to:
• Protect and preserve the rights and interests of individuals, governments, corporations ,
and other entities. Examples include vital statistics, land and tax records, license registers,
and articles of incorporation.
• Conduct emergency response and recovery operations. Records of this type include utility
system maps, emergency supplies, equipment locations, emergency operations plans and
procedures, personnel rosters, etc.
• Re-establish normal governmental functions and protect the rights and interests of
government: constitutions and charters, statutes and ordinances, court records, of ficial
proceedings, and financial records.
Contra Costa County's vital records are routinely stored in the County Recorder's Office. Electronic
and computerized data is backed up nightly by an off-site vendor specializing in data protection
and recovery. Microfilmed records and other backup data are stored in an off-site vault with a
vendor specializing in information protection and recovery.
Contra Costa's birth and death records are managed and maintained by the Vital Registration
Department in Public Health. This information is coordinated with the Coroner's Office.
Each department within the county will identify, maintain, and protect its vital records. Protection
includes but is not limited to archival preservation, offsite storage, and maintaining redundant
39
backup copies.
Recovery
Overview
Recovery refers to re-establishing a new state of normalcy in the affected areas of the county. The
transition from response operations to recovery is a gradual shift to assisting individuals,
households, businesses, and governments in meeting basic needs and returning to self-sufficiency.
Recovery operations begin concurrently with or shortly after the commencement of response
operations. Short-term recovery activities intended to return vital life-support systems to operation
begin with restoring services after stabilizing the situation.
Long-term recovery focuses on rebuilding the community as outlined in the National Disaster
Recovery Framework (NDRF) and the California Disaster Recovery Framework (CDRF). Modeled
after the NDRF, the CDRF guides federal, state, local, private, community-based organizations, and
other nonprofit entities in effectively supporting disaster impacted jurisdictions to address gaps
and rebuild resiliently.
Recovery activities are categorized by the NDRF/CDRF designated Recovery Support Functions as
follows:

Damage Assessment
A jurisdiction’s Initial Damage Estimate (IDE) estimates the severity and extent of the damage
caused by the emergency. The Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) determines if an incident is
beyond the capabilities of the affected jurisdiction requiring both State and Federal assistance.
Documentation
Within the Planning and Intelligence Section, this functional unit is responsible for collecting,
distributing, recording, and safeguarding all documents relevant to an incident or within an EOC .
The Finance and Administration Section obtains the appropriate information to compile required
reimbursement applications.
41
After Action Reporting
The After-Action Report (AAR) will serve as a source for documenting the County or local
jurisdictions' successes and areas needing improvement. Additionally, the AAR will effectively
identify resource gaps. County OES staff will assist in coordinating with appropriate operational
area jurisdictions in compiling an AAR after any emergency. All EOC staff are responsible for
participating in the AAR process. AARs lead to improvement plans and contain corrective actions
that are continually monitored and implemented to improve readiness. All After Action Review
documents for real life incidents are submitted to Cal OES via CALEOC, CAL OES’s web platform.
42
PART II: SUPPORTING ELEMENTS
The supporting elements are variations of functional components tailored to the Plan. While the
basic plan provides broad overarching information relevant to the Plan, these supporting elements
focus on specific areas requiring an emergency operation focus. Supporting Elements include both
Authorities and Appendices to the EOP.
Appendices may include additional critical operational functions, including Emergency Response
strategies that apply to a specific hazard.
Appendices include a glossary, references, definitions, and any supporting documentation.
43
APPENDICES
APPENDIX A: Integrating People with Disabilities and with Access and Functional Needs
Contra Costa County takes a whole community approach to serve the needs of the residents. This
is accomplished by engaging critical stakeholders with expertise in transportation and sheltering.
Populations with access and functional needs include community members who may have
additional requirements before, during, and after an incident in functional areas.
Individuals in need of additional response assistance may include those who:
• Live in institutionalized settings
• Are elderly
• Are unaccompanied children
• Are from diverse cultures
• Have limited English proficiency or are non-English speaking
• Are transportation disadvantaged
• Have no access to communication devices
• Have no access to a shelter
• Have temporary and lifelong disabilities
• Have sight or hearing impairments
• Require medical care and supervision
• Other situations that would ensure maintaining independence
Lessons learned from recent emergencies concerning people with disabilities and other access and
functional needs have shown that the existing concepts of emergency planning, implementation ,
and response must meet the needs of these groups during an emergency. These lessons show four
areas that are repeatedly identified as most important to people with disabilities and others with
access and functional needs:
• Communications/Warning (See Appendix B: Alert and Warning)
• Sheltering
• Evacuation/Transportation
• Recovery
Essential facilities such as shelters, those facilities utilized during evacuations and movement of
the population, and alert and warning tools accommodate the Americans with Disabilities Act .
44
Appendix B: Alert and Warning
The County’s Community Warning System (CWS) may provide time-sensitive alerts and warnings
to affected members of the public about imminent hazards to human life or health for which
specific protective action is recommended. These alerts and warnings include hazardous material
incidents, public health emergencies, law enforcement emergencies, fires threatening populated
areas, severe flooding, or “at-risk” missing persons. The most common protective actions for these
types of hazards are shelter in place/lockdown, evacuation/prepare to evacuate, or be-on-the-
lookout.
The Community Warning System automatically coordinates the transmission of alerts and
warnings over a variety of delivery systems, including:
• Sirens near major industrial facilities and in other special safety zones
• Telephone Emergency Notification System (TENS) that includes both landlines (Reverse
911) throughout the county, and pre-registered mobile devices (cell phones, text, and
email messages)
• CWS website and social media, including Facebook and Twitter
• California’s Emergency Digital Information System (EDIS)
• Federal Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS)
▪ Emergency Alert System (EAS)
▪ NOAA weather radios
▪ Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)
The Community Warning System has predesigned templates for various warning messages to
expedite the message development process. Although templates exist for many of the hazards
common in Contra Costa County, it is essential to remember that all messages should include:
• What authority is issuing the warning
• What the hazard is
• A specific affected area for which the warning is in effect
• Who, specifically, is affected by this warning and what protective action they should
take
• How long the warning is in effect/when it expires
45
Appendix C: Population Protection
Evacuations and “shelter-in-place” orders will be handled according to the Office of the Sheriff's
Policies and Procedures, with the Incident Commander balancing the immediate hazards
associated with remaining on the scene against the risks of moving people in a dangerous
environment.
• The Incident Commander or other authority will recommend a protective action based
on discussion with the appropriate personnel regarding the nature of the incident.
• The Incident Commander has the authority to initiate an evacuation or a shelter-in-
place order based upon their assessment of the situation.
• Area resources and, when available, additional resources, including personnel,
transport, etc., may assist with the evacuation effort to provide security and facilitate
an organized transition to a safe environment.
• Early/Advanced evacuations will generally be conducted by available law enforcement
working in the affected area.
• Unaccompanied minors will be evacuated to a safe, contained location and supervised
by a responsible adult/official until reunited with their parents.
• Parents will be directed to the evacuation location to pick up children.
• Area resources and, when available, additional resources may be allocated to provide
temporary security to at-risk groups when a credible threat to safety exists.
• Detention facility transportation units will move incarcerated individuals to pre-
determined, secure locations in the event of an evacuation.
• The Community Warning System may notify the public about existing hazards and
protective actions.
• At the request of the Incident Commander, by policies and procedures. The Community
Warning System can be used to notify the public at the end of a shelter-in-place action.
• Animal Control Services coordinates the care and shelter of evacuees’ pets considering
American Red Cross shelters’ location(s).
• California State Law does not provide language to support mandatory evacuations .
Residents have the right to make independent decisions about evacuation.
46
Appendix D: Prevention and Protection
Prevention Activities
The Sheriff’s Office of Homeland Security Unit (HSU) is responsible for developing and maintaining
positive partnerships between the Sheriff’s Office, its infrastructure partners, and other local,
state, and federal agencies to share critical information to safeguard persons and property. HSU
reviews tips and leads to ensure appropriate agencies and resources are notified.
Protection Activities
The Northern California Regional Intelligence Center (NCRIC) position serves within the terrorism
liaison officer outreach program. This position also directly links to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task
Force (JTTF) and other state and federal agencies, facilitating information dissemination.

Appendix E: Worker Safety and Health
The County Risk Management Department guides each department on the OSHA worker safety and health
program, including injury illness and prevention protocols.
48
Appendix F: Public Information
Purpose:
This supporting element is to establish uniform guidelines and practices for the effective
development, coordination, and dissemination of emergency information to the public in the case
of an emergency or disaster. It establishes the parameters for the Contra Costa County Joint
Information System procedures for:
• Rapid delivery of accurate information and instructions to the public and media
• Response to public and media inquiries
• Dissemination of critical information to internal and external partners
• Establishment of a Joint Information System (JIS) and Joint Information Center (JIC)
Assumptions:
During emergencies:
• The public and media will need information about the situation and instructions on what
actions to take.
• Residents will make better decisions if given updated information regularly.
• Local media can provide an essential role in delivering information and instructions to the
public; regional or national media may also play a role and need to be considered.
• Many communication channels exist, but not all may be available in an emergency. The
situation will drive the media and tools to be used.
• Monitoring of the media will require advanced planning to know which methods they are
using to disseminate information besides their primary channels.
• Social media will be the most challenging to monitor and control but have significant value
to the public.
• Perception is the key; Joint Information System team members must convey calm
presence, authority, and situational understanding to the media and the public.
Objectives:
• To guide public action as determined by the EOC Director in an Emergency Operations
Center or the Incident Commander if in the field.
• To gain public confidence by providing timely, accurate, credible , and actionable
information.
• To keep the public calm by building trust, providing them with the process to find answers,
specific actions to take, and reassuring them.
49
• To meet the needs of the news media and social media influencers.
• To meet the needs of internal and external partners and stakeholders.
• To meet the needs of people with disabilities, others with access and functional needs, and
others who would be considered vulnerable in an emergency.
• To provide information to the public in coordination with the city, state, and federal
agencies and community-based and non-government organizations.
Practices and Guidelines:
• It is the policy of Contra Costa County to develop plans and procedures to address public
information needs during an emergency or disaster response within the County.
• The lead Public Information Officer (PIO) and additional designated PIOs will coordinate
efforts to provide timely and practical information before, during, and following a
significant emergency or crisis that affects public safety, public health, community well-
being, and continuity of operations.
• The PIO is responsible for disseminating accurate and timely information to affected
populations, considering people with access and functional needs.
• Multi-lingual support such as translation services and non -English broadcast media
cooperation may be explored to communicate more effectively with a diverse public.
• Information released to the media and public will be verified by the EOC Director's public
information staff.
• Contra Costa County will use the concept of a JIC to coordinate the release of information,
and a Joint Information System or virtual Joint Information Center when physically co-
locating is not possible or practical.
• A joint information center will be opened when more than one agency is involved or
impacted in an emergency incident.
Media Access:
• Media access to PIOs during an emergency/disaster will be provided through contacts
within the EOC or a field JIC. Physical access to the EOC will not be permitted without the
permission of the EOC Director, and a PIO must always accompany the media.
• Disaster and accident scenes may be closed to the public under the authority of 409.5(a)
P.C., which states, “…a menace to the public health or safety is created by a calamity such
as a flood, storm, fire, earthquake, explosion or other disasters….”
• It is essential to note that 409.5(d) P.C. states, “Nothing in this section shall prevent a duly
authorized representative of any news service from entering the area closed….” After being
advised of any existing danger, news media members are permitted free movement in the
50
area if they do not hamper, deter, or interfere with law enforcement or public safety
functions.
Primary Responsibilities for the Public Information Officer:
• Evaluate the need for and, as appropriate, establish and operate a Joint Information
System.
• Establish a JIC as necessary to coordinate and disseminate accurate and timely information.
• Determine from the EOC Director or Incident Commander if limits on information available
and the release scope.
• Develop material for use in media briefings.
• Obtain approval of media releases.
• Inform the media and moderate media briefings, whether in person, conference call , or
other means.
• Arrange for tours, interviews, or briefings as needed.
• Maintain current information summaries and display boards about the incident.
• Maintain an Activity log for PIOs.
• Manage media and public inquiries.
• Coordinate emergency public information and warnings.
• Monitor media and social media reporting for accuracy and take corrective action where
needed.
• Ensure that all required agency forms, reports, and documents have been completed
before demobilizing a Joint Information Center or System.
PIO Roles and Functions within a JIC:
• Lead PIO with overall responsibility for Joint Information Center operations
• Information Gathering
• Information Verification
• Coordination and Production of Messaging
• Information Dissemination
• Media Monitoring
• Social Media Monitoring
• Liaison
• Provides coordinated communication with crucial program areas and other entities
involved in response and recovery operations
• Coordinates with elected officials, community leaders, VIPs, and other governmental and
non-governmental organization support agencies

Special Districts
A local government unit with authority or responsibility to own, operate, and maintain systems,
programs, services, or projects for natural disaster assistance. This may include joint powers
authority established in the California Code of Regulations.
52
Appendix G: Private Sector Coordination
The involvement of NGOs, special districts, and private sector organizations with Contra Costa
County will vary according to the incident type, resources that may be made available, and the
types of resources needed. Some organizations may use internally established mutual aid
systems/arrangements in order to acquire needed resources. For example, the American Red
Cross will utilize the American Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resources System (DSHR) when
a disaster response requires greater resourcing than can be provided from the local chapter.
Volunteer agencies and private agencies may participate in the mutual aid system along with
governmental agencies. Some volunteer agencies such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army,
Auxiliary Communication Services, Community Emergency Response Teams, Volunteer
Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD), faith-based organizations and others are an essential
element of the statewide emergency response to meet the needs of disaster victims. Volunteer
agencies mobilize volunteers and other resources through their own systems. They also may
identify resource needs that are not met within their own systems that would be requested
through the mutual aid system.
Partnership Organizations: Non-Profit Agencies
• American Red Cross exists to provide compassionate care to those in need. The network of
donors, volunteers, and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering
through disaster relief efforts. In addition, the Red Cross supports the EOC Care and Shelter
Branch.
• Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) improve outcomes for people affected
by disasters by facilitating cooperation, communication, coordination, and collaboration
among nonprofit organizations, community-based groups, government agencies, and for-
profit companies.
• Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs educates people about disaster
preparedness for hazards that may impact their area. The program trains members in basic
disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and
disaster medical operations. CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or
workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available
to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by
taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
• Salvation Army is a ministry with a mission to meet human needs without discrimination. In
addition, they can provide feeding services in a disaster.
53
• Saint Vincent de Paul Society is a nonprofit organization that provides direct assistance to
anyone suffering or in need. They offer a lifeline to those who want food and clothing, rent
assistance, medical aid, help with addiction or incarceration, employment, and shelter.
• Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) is a nonprofit public benefit
corporation. CAER is a group of emergency response agencies, local government officials,
and businesses. CAER's mission is to actively enhance public health and safety for those
that store, handle, produce or transport hazardous materials. They support their mission
by focusing on:
o Facilitation of cooperative safety improvements of industrial plant operations
o Promotion of coordinated mutual emergency aid
o Provide emergency preparedness and response information to the public
o Communication to the public's concerns about the safety of industrial facility operations
o Offer credible facts and analysis on the efficacy of public policy related to public safety
issues and safe facility performance
54
Appendix H: Disaster Service Workers, Volunteers, and Donations Management
Disaster Service Workers
Under California Government Code Sections 3100-3109, all public employees are required to serve
as Disaster Service Workers (DSWs). Public employees are all persons em ployed by any county,
city, state agency or public district in the State of California. Disaster Service Workers provide
services and support during declared emergencies or disasters.
In the event of a major emergency or disaster, the County has the power to assign employees to
serve as DSWs assisting with any Disaster Service Activity that promotes the protection of public
health and safety, promotes the preservation of lives and property, or is otherwise deemed
necessary by the County’s Director of Emergency Services in the execution of his or her duties.
Employees may be assigned by the County to fulfill emergency action needs outside the course
and scope of their regular job duties and job hours. When serving as a DSW, an employee may also
be directed to report to a different supervisor and/or to work at a different location than normal
in order to fulfill the DSW role. DSW’s may be asked to assist in support shelter operations, staff
the Emergency Operations Center, work at a logistics base in the field, etc.… Assignments may
require service at locations, times and under conditions other than normal work assignments.
Additional Disaster Service Worker designated individuals include medical personnel that may
provide medical services if an emergency has been declared, and as requested by a Contra Costa
County Official, and Volunteer Community Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) staff and
volunteers.
Under no circumstances will County employees that do not usually have a response role in their
day-to-day responsibilities be asked to perform duties or functions that are hazardous, that they
have not been trained to perform or that are beyond their recognized capabilities.
Volunteer and Donations Management
The Volunteer and Donations Management Unit is part of the Logistics Section of the County’s EOC
staff. Organized and trained volunteer groups and non -governmental organizations (NGOs)
provide critical services in a disaster. Although it is recommended that volunteers pre-affiliate
before any emergency, there may be spontaneous volunteers who will require processing. In
addition, organizations have been identified, which can assist with bulk/in-kind donations
processing and distribution, and monetary donations. Templates with public messaging exist to
55
notify the community as to what items are needed and where the items can be brought to assist
with an emergency.
Governmental Volunteer Groups
Contra Costa County Area Agency on Aging provides leadership in addressing issues that relate to
older residents, to develop community-based systems of care that provide services that support
independence within our local community interdependent society, and which protects the quality
of life of older adults and persons with functional impairments, and to promote citizen
involvement in the planning and delivery of service.
Office of the Sheriff - Emergency Services Support Unit and Marine Patrol
The Emergency Services Support Unit (ESSU) manages volunteer groups that contribute
significantly to emergency operations. Activation of the Sheriff's volunteer programs is facilitated
through the Law Branch Mutual Aid Coordinator in the Emergency Operations Center. Groups
listed are managed by ESSU, except for the Dive Team, which is governed by the Office of the
Sheriff's Marine Patrol.
• Air Squadron – Pilots and observers provide air operations support to include
transportation, surveillance, logistics, and disaster response.
• Cadets – Young adults participate in public events, search and rescue, and traffic
enforcement.
• Communications Unit – Licensed amateur radio operators to provide alternate
communication to the operational area in support of an exercise or emergency.
• Chaplains – The chaplaincy program provides support, comfort, guidance, and counseling in
times of crisis to the law enforcement community and the public.
• Dive Team – Certified rescue divers are available to assist with evidence collection, victim
recovery, hazardous object removal, inspections, and disaster response .
• Food Service Unit – Volunteers support field operations during training and emergency
events by providing nourishing meals.
• Ground Search and Rescue Team – Volunteers are requested to assist in locating missing or
at-risk persons, evidence collection, public events, and disaster response .
• Reserve Deputy Sheriffs – Reserves assist with in-custody transportation, patrol and
detention duties, and special assignments such as DUI checkpoints, off-road activities, and
special events.
56
• SAVES – Sheriff's All Volunteer Extended Services – This diverse unit of community
members with varying skill sets assist with the delivery of logistical and clerical support,
mostly in field operations and administrative assignments.
• Air Squadron Pilots and observers provide air operations support to include transportation,
surveillance, logistics, and disaster response.
Disaster Service Volunteer Groups
Contra Costa Health Services Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) was developed as part of the County's
emergency planning and response system. It addresses the need for additional medical
professionals to respond to a medical surge event or an event requiring the mass distribution of
pharmaceuticals. Oversight is provided by the Contra Costa County Emergency Medical Services
(EMS) as lead agency with support from Contra Costa Health Services.
MRC is a national network of unpaid volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and s afety
of their communities. In California, there are 35 MRC Units and 33 are in the Disaster Healthcare
Volunteers (DHV) System. These units can include both medical and non-medical volunteers that
support medical missions.
California Healthcare Volunteers (DHV) is a group of licensed healthcare providers, public health
professionals, or medical disaster response team members who volunteer for disaster service
work throughout the State.
Volunteer and donation groups can significantly enhance and supplement emergency response
personnel and materials.
57
Appendix I: Training and Exercises
Training, tests, and exercises are essential to ensure public officials, emergency response
personnel, and the public are ready in an emergency. As part of the emergency management
training curriculum, it is recommended that personnel with emergency responsibilities complete
emergency management courses as described by the SEMS Approved Course of Instruction and
the NIMS integration criteria. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services provides emergency
managers and first responders training through the California Specialized Training Institute. Each
agency maintains activity and exercise records that demonstrate self-certification and compliance
with SEMS and NIMS.
Preparedness Exercises
Exercises provide personnel with an opportunity to become familiar with the procedures, facilities ,
and systems that will be used in an emergency. County departments should plan for and
participate in an exercise program involving emergency management response personnel from
multiple disciplines and jurisdictions.
Exercises should:
• Be as realistic as possible
• Use the application of SEMS
• Be based on risk assessments
• Include non-governmental
organizations and the private
sector when appropriate
• Refer to state and federal
guidelines for other specifics
The County Office of Emergency Services updates the Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan annually
to include several tabletop exercises, one functional EOC exercise, and ongoing in person and virtual
trainings.
Public Awareness
The County Office of Emergency Services provides public awareness and educational campaigns
continually. The Office of Emergency Services maintains a directory of websites for more in-depth
follow-up on emergency preparedness efforts such as Community Emergency Response Teams,
58
fire safety, health and well-being, and hazardous materials. In addition, presentations,
consultations, and plan reviews are conducted routinely, along with research services and
pamphlet distribution. It is well documented that the better prepared our communities are in
advance of an emergency, the easier response efforts will be, and the sooner they can transition
to recovery.

Preparation will increase survivability. Individuals and families should have the supplies and plans
in place to make it on their own. Everyone should be prepared no matter where they are when a
disaster strikes. Below are some ideas that can help prepare for the unexpected.
• Actions to take
• Have a kit of emergency supplies
• Plan for what you will do in an emergency
• Stay informed about what might happen
• Get involved in preparing your community
• Know your resources
• Partner with everyone (fellow parents, neighbors, church members, etc.)
• Be aware of assets near you; shopping centers, medical facilities, fire stations,
etc.
• Inventory your supplies often
• Know your hazards
• Flood zones where you work
• House near open space susceptible to fire or landslide
• Church located near a chemical plant
• Airport, rail, or other transportation hazards
• Understand protective actions
• Earthquake: Duck, cover, and hold
• Fire: Stop, drop and roll
• Flood: Evacuate to higher ground
• Hazardous Material release: Shelter in place, unless otherwise notified
• Severe weather: Stay indoors
Remain mindful of age-related needs for both children and seniors, and plan for those with unique
medical, physical, and emotional needs. Consider a plan and kit for pets.
Remember, attitude is everything! Rehearse in your mind, have documents in order, and physically
practice your plan.
61

Appendix M: Glossary of Terms
After Action Report (AAR): Documents identified successes during emergency operations and
described a plan to implement improvements.
California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement (MMAA): An agreement
entered into by and between the State of California, its various departments and agencies and
various political subdivisions, municipal corporations, and public agencies of the State of California
to assist each other by providing resources during an emergency. Mutual Aid occurs when two or
more parties agree to furnish resources and facilities and render services to each other in response
to any disaster or emergency.
California Emergency Services Act (CESA): An Act within the California Government Code to
ensure that preparations within the state will be adequate to deal with natural, man-made, or
war-caused emergencies which result in conditions of disaster or extreme peril to life, property ,
and the natural resources of the state and generally to protect the health and safety and preserve
the lives and property of the people of the state.
Continuity of Government (COG): Activities that address the continuance of constitutional
governance. COG planning aims to preserve and reconstitute the government institution and
maintain a department or agency’s constitutional, legislative, and administrative responsibilities .
This is accomplished through a succession of leadership, the pre-delegation of emergency
authority, and active command and control during response and recovery operations.
Continuity of Operations (COOP): Planning should be instituted (including all levels of
government) across the private sector and non-governmental organizations as appropriate to
ensure the continued performance of core capabilities and critical government operations during
any potential incident.
Critical Infrastructure: Systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the operational
area that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact
on security, local economic security, public health or safety, or any combination of those matters.
Department Operations Center (DOC): A facility used by a distinct discipline, such as flood
operations, fire, medical, hazardous material, or a unit, such as the Department of Public Works or
Department of Health. DOCs may be used at all SEMS levels above the field response level
depending upon the emergency needs.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC): The location from which centralized emergency
management can be performed. An agency or jurisdiction establishes EOC facilities to coordinate
the overall agency or jurisdictional response and support to an emergency.
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP): The ongoing plan maintained by various jurisdictional levels for
responding to a wide variety of potential hazards.
63
HAZUS: A nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating
potential losses from earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. HAZUS uses Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) technology to assess disasters' physical, economic, and social impacts.
Incident: An occurrence or event, either human-caused or by natural phenomena, requires action
by emergency response personnel to prevent or minimize loss of life or damage to property and
the environment.
Incident Command: Responsible for the overall management of the incident and consists of the
Incident Commander, either single or unified command, and any assigned supporting staff.
Incident Commander (IC): The individual responsible for all incident activities, including
developing strategies and tactics and ordering and releasing resources. The IC has overall authority
and responsibility for conducting incident operations and managing all incident operations at the
incident site.
Incident Command Post (ICP): The field location where the primary functions are performed. The
ICP may be co-located with the incident base or other incident facilities.
Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized on-scene emergency management concept
specifically designed to allow its user(s) to adopt an integrated org anizational structure equal to
the complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by
jurisdictional boundaries.
Information: Pieces of raw, unanalyzed data that identifies persons, evidence, events; or
illustrates processes that specify the occurrences of an event. It may be objective or subjective and
is intended for both internal analysis and external (news media) applications. Information is the
“currency” that produces intelligence.
Intelligence: The product of an analytical process that evaluates information collected from
diverse sources, integrates relevant information into a cohesive package, and produces a
conclusion or estimate. The information must be honest, accurate, and verified before it becomes
intelligence for planning purposes. Intelligence relates to the specific details involving the activities
of an incident or EOC and current and expected conditions and how they affect the actions taken
to achieve operational period objectives. Intelligence is an aspect of information. Intelligence is
primarily intended for internal use and not for public dissemination.
Interoperability: Allows emergency management/response personnel and their affiliated
organizations to communicate within and across agencies and jurisdictions via voice, data, or
video-on-demand, in real-time, when needed and when authorized.
64
Joint Information Center (JIC): A facility established to coordinate all incident-related public
information activities. It is the central point of contact for all news media. General information
officials from all participating agencies should co-locate at the JIC.
Joint Information System (JIS): A JIS is the information network of all government, volunteer, and
private-sector organizations with operations directly related to the incident. A JIS coordinates
public information network with shared resources and agreed-upon procedures that link
participants through technological means when geographic restrictions, incident management
requirements, and other limitations preclude physical attendance at a central location. The JIS
allows public information staff to communicate effectively and make joint announcements as if
they were in the same facility.
Jurisdiction: The range or sphere of authority. Public agencies have jurisdiction over an incident
related to their legal responsibilities and authority for incident mitigation . Jurisdictional authority
at an incident can be political or geographical (e.g., special district, city, county, state, or federal
boundary lines) or functional (e.g., police department, health department, etc.).
Liaison Officer: A member of the Command Staff responsible for coordinating with representatives
from cooperating and assisting agencies. At SEMS EOC levels, a coordinator may perform the
function and report directly to the EOC Director within a section or branch.
Local Government: Means local agencies per Article 3 of the SEMS regulations. Government Code
Section 8680.2 defines local agencies as any city, city and county, county, school district , or special
district.
Mitigation: Provides a critical foundation to reduce the loss of life and property from natural and
man-made disasters by avoiding or lessening the impact of a disaster and providing value to the
public by creating safer communities. Mitigation seeks to fix the cycle of disaster damage,
reconstruction, and repeated damage. These activities or actions, in most cases, will have a long-
term sustained effort.
Multiagency Coordination System (MACS): The combination of personnel, facilities, equipment,
procedures, and communications integrated into a standard system. When activated, MACS are
responsible for assisting agency resources and support in a multi-agency or multijurisdictional
environment. A MAC Group functions within the MACS.
National Planning Frameworks: One for each preparedness mission area (prevention, protection,
mitigation, response, and disaster recovery), describe how the whole community works together
to achieve the National Preparedness Goal. The Goal is: “A secure and resilient nation with the
capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond
to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.” The Goal is the
65
cornerstone for the implementation of the Presidential Policy Directive / PPD-8: National
Preparedness.
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO): An entity with an association that is based on the
interests of its members, individuals, or institutions. A government does not create it, but it may
work cooperatively with the government. Such organizations serve a public purpose, not a private
benefit. Examples of NGOs include faith-based charity organizations and the American Red Cross.
Operational Area (OA): An intermediate level of the state emergency organization, consisting of a
county and all other political subdivisions within the geographical boundaries of the county.
Operational Period: The time scheduled for executing a given set of operation actions, as specified
in the Incident Action Plan. Operational periods can be of various lengths but typically last 12-24
hours.
Political Subdivisions: Includes any city, county, tax, assessment district, or other legally
authorized local governmental entity with jurisdictional boundaries.
Public Information: Processes, procedures, and systems for communicating timely, accurate, and
accessible information on the incident’s cause, size, and current situation; resources committed;
protective actions to take; and other matters of general interest to the public, responders , and
additional stakeholders (both directly and indirectly affected).
Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC): Facilities found at Cal OES Administrative Regions.
REOCs coordinate information and resources among operational areas and between the
operational areas and the state level.
Resource Management: Efficient emergency management and incident response require a system
for identifying available resources at all jurisdictional levels to enable timely and unimpeded
access to resources needed to prepare for, respond to, or recover from an incident. Resource
management under NIMS includes mutual aid agreements and assistance agreements; the use of
special federal, state, tribal, and local teams; and resource mobilization protocols.
Resources: Personnel and equipment available, or potentially available, for assignment to
incidents or EOCs. Resources are described by kind and type and may be used in supervisory
capacities at an incident or EOCs.
Section: The organizational level with responsibility for a major functional area of the incident or
at an EOC (e.g., Operations, Planning/Intelligence, Logistics, Finance/Administration).
Situation Report (SITREP): Emergency Operations Centers are responsible for gathering timely,
accurate, accessible, and consistent intelligence during an emergency. Situation reports should
create a common operating picture and adjust the operational goals, priorities, and strategies.
Special District: A unit of local government (other than a city, county, city, and county) with
authority or responsibility to own, operate and maintain systems, programs, services, or projects
66
(as defined in section 2900, subdivision (hh) of title 19 of the California Code of Regulations) for
purposes of natural disaster assistance. This may include a joint power of authority established
under Section 6500 et. seq.
Stafford Act: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act establishes the
programs and processes for the federal government to provide disaster and emergency assistance
to states, local governments, tribal nations, individuals, and qualified non-profit organizations. The
provision of the Stafford Act covers all hazards, including natural disasters and terrorist events.
Relevant provisions of the Stafford Act include a process for Governors to request federal disaster
and emergency assistance from the President. The President may declare a major disaster or
emergency.
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS): A system required by California
Government Code and established by regulations for managing response s to multiagency and
multijurisdictional emergencies in California. SEMS consists of five organizational levels activated
as necessary: Field response, Local Government, Operational Area, Region, and State.
State Operations Center (SOC): An EOC facility operated by the Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services at the state level in SEMS.
Unified Command (UC): Unified Command is a structure that brings together the Incident
Commanders of major organizations involved in an incident to coordinate an effective response
while at the same time allowing each to carry out their own jurisdictional, legal, and functional
responsibilities. The Unified Command links the organizations responding to the incident and
provides a forum for these entities to make consensual decisions. Under the Unified Command,
the various jurisdictions, agencies, and non-government responders should blend throughout the
Incident Command System to create an integrated response tea m. Members of the Unified
Command work together to develop a standard set of incident objectives and strategies, share
information, maximize available resources, and enhance the efficiency of the individual response
organizations.

Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Settlement and release agreement with SunPower Corporation, Systems – 4545 & 4549 Delta Fair Blvd; 2530 Arnold Dr.; 1000
Ward Street
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% incoming funds to offset increased electricity cost from missed energy savings.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the County entered into power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Solar Star Co Co 1, LLC, for the installation and operation of solar
generating facilities at 4545 and 4549 Delta Fair Blvd., Antioch, and 2530 Arnold Drive and 1000 Ward Street, Martinez, and additional solar
storage facilities at 2530 Arnold Drive, and 1000 Ward Street. Under the PPAs, SunPower, as contractor for Solar Star, is responsible for
installing the facilities. Starting with commercial operation of the facilities and continuing for a 25-year term, the County will purchase power
generated by the facilities at substantially discounted rates compared to market rates charged by Pacific Gas & Electric Company. In 2020, the
PPAs were assigned from Solar Star Co Co 1, LLC to Solar Star Co Co 2, LLC and Solar Star Co Co 3, LLC.
Completion of the four sites was delayed significantly due to issues within the control of Solar Star and/or SunPower. These delays, which
lasted almost one year, involved issues with timely payment of subcontractors and with the design of facilities in accordance with current fire
code standards. As a result of these delays, the County had to pay higher power costs for almost a year and was unable to realize energy savings
and purchase discounted power at these four sites in Antioch and Martinez. To address these delays, which constituted defaults under the power
purchase agreements, the County in April and May 2022 sent a notice of default and filed a payment bond claim, demanding that SunPower and
its bonding company cure and correct these defaults.
Over the following months, SunPower resolved all payment defaults, resumed work in earnest on the four sites in Antioch and Martinez, and
offered the County $127,066 in compensation for the lost energy savings at the four sites. SunPower now expects that the four sites will be
placed into commercial operation by November 30, 2022. Under the settlement agreement (Settlement and Release Agreement), SunPower will
pay the County $127,066 for lost energy savings at the four sites through November 30, 2022. Public Works Department staff have determined
this amount is adequate to compensate the County for the difference between the higher cost of power from PG&E during the period of delay,
and the lower amount the County would have paid for power under the PPAs had the sites been placed into commercial operation by the time
required under those agreements. In consideration for that payment, the County will release SunPower from any claims to compensation for
missed energy savings at the four sites through November 30, 2022.
As part of the financing for the four sites, SunPower will be assigning the PPAs to ST TOTAL Strong Statutory Trust as lessor, with Solar Star
Co Co 2, LLC as lessee, and requires the County’s consent to that assignment. The consent to the assignment (Consent and Agreement)
provides that there are no outstanding defaults and that the County has no credits or offsets for the County’s purchase of energy under the PPAs.
Therefore, the Public Works Director, or designee, will be in a position to execute the Consent and Agreement when the County receives
payment under the settlement agreement.
With the four sites now nearing completion, Public Works Department staff have determined that there are no outstanding defaults other than
the missed energy savings and that the above payment is adequate to compensate the County for those missed savings through November 30,
2022. For these reasons, the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve the settlement agreement and authorize the execution of
the consent to assignment of the PPAs following receipt of the settlement payment from SunPower.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would not be compensated for missed energy savings and SunPower would be unable to assign the power purchase agreements,
thereby further delaying commercial operation of the four sites.
