SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Administrative Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Ann Xu, Accountant DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: Treasurer's Report for the Month Ended February 28, 2013
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Review and accept the Treasurer's Report for the month ended February 28, 2013.
REPORT SUMMARY
California government code section 41004 requires that the City Treasurer submit to the City Clerk and
the legislative body a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The
Municipal Code of the City of Saratoga, Article 2 -20, Section 2- 20.035 designates the City Manager as
the City Treasurer.
Section 41004. Regularly, at least once each month, the City Treasurer shall submit to the City
Clerk a written report and accounting of all receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. He shall
file a copy with the legislative body.
The following attachments provide various financial transaction data for the City of Saratoga's Funds
collectively as well as specifically for the City's General (Operating) Fund, including an attachment from
the State Treasurer's Office of Quarterly LAIF rates from the I" Quarter of 1977 to present.
FISCAL IMPACT
Cash and Investments Balance by Fund
As of February 28, 2013, the City had $113,539 in cash deposit at Comerica bank, and $14,774,181 on
deposit with LAIF. Council Policy on operating reserve funds, adopted on April 20, 1994, states that: for
cash flow purposes, to avoid occurrence of dry period financing, pooled cash from all funds should not be
allowed to fall below $2,000,000. The total pooled cash balance as of February 28, 2013 is $14,887,720
and exceeds the minimum limit required.
Cash Summary
Unrestricted Cash
Comerica Bank $ 113,539
Deposit with LAIF $ 14,774,181
Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,887,720
37
The following Fund Balance schedule represents actual funding available for all funds at the end of the
monthly period. This amount differs from the above Cash Summary schedule as assets and liabilities are
components of the fund balance. As illustrated in the summary below, Total Unrestricted Cash is
adjusted by the addition of Total Assets less the amount of Total Liabilities to arrive at the Ending Fund
Balance — which represents the actual amount of funds available.
Adjusting Cash to Ending Fund Balance
Total Unrestricted Cash $ 14,887,720
Plus: Assets 348,037
Less: Liabilities (1,138,146)
Ending Fund Balance $ 14,097,611
Fund Balances Designations
In February 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54,
Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. This standard left unchanged the
total amount reported as fund balance, but substantially altered the categories and terminology used to
describe its components. The new categories and terminology focus, not on financial resources available
for appropriation, but on the extent to which the government is bound to honor constraints on the specific
purpose for which the amounts in the fund can be spent.
The components of fund balance are now categorized as follows: "non- spendable fund balance ",
resources that are inherently non - spendable from the vantage point of the current period; "restricted fund
balance ", resources that are subject to external enforceable legal restrictions; "committed fund balance ",
resources whose use is constrained by limitations that the government imposes upon itself at its highest
level of decision making and remain binding unless removed in the same manner; "assigned fund
balance ", resources that reflects a government's intended use of resources, such intent would have to be
established at either the highest level of decision making, by a body, or an official designated for that
purpose; and "unassigned fund balance ", net resources in excess of what can properly be classified in one
of the other four categories. Currently, the City's fund balance reserves fall into one of the four spendable
categories; restricted, committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balance.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City would not be in compliance with Government Code Section 41004.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
c�L7FORr'1
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2013 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: Finance & Admin Services CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Mary Furey DIRECTOR: Mary Furey
SUBJECT: ABAG POWER Natural Gas Pipeline Capacity Regulations
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Mayor to sign and send the attached letter to the CPUC stating the City of Saratoga's
objection to force ABAG POWER to take and pay for pipeline capacity acquired by PG &E.
REPORT SUMMARY:
The City, along with thirty seven other public agencies, purchases natural gas through the ABAG
POWER joint powers agency. The ABAG POWER pooled purchasing and billing strategy strives for
low cost and stable pricing that differentiates if from PG &E's more short term, market -rate approach.
The ABAG POWER program is now threatened by a series of proceedings scheduled to come before the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). PG &E (which supplies natural gas to customers not in
a pooling arrangement like ABAG POWER) engages in a purchasing strategy that includes contracting
for the right to use designated segments of pipes (`pipeline capacity ) to move natural gas from a
producer into the region's natural gas distribution system. Under the current system, PG &E determines
the location and the amount of pipeline capacity acquired under these contracts, subject to CPUC
oversight.
Beginning early last year, CPUC regulations were put into place that would require ABAG POWER to
take and pay for a portion of PG &E's pipeline capacity. This is a significant burden on the program and
the City for the following reasons:
ABAG POWER's purchasing strategy does not include contracting for pipeline capacity separate
from the purchase of natural gas.
Even if the gas purchasing strategy was changed to include this tactic, absent the recent
regulations ABAG POWER would not choose to match the locations and the amounts that it
would be required to take from PG &E.
ABAG POWER cannot recover the added costs by reselling this pipeline capacity.
ABAG POWER is concerned that the cost of taking PG &E's pipeline capacity may render the program
economically unviable in the near future.
PG &E claims that this pipeline capacity serves as a hedge against possible future shortages that would
prevent it from moving natural gas into the region. There is absolutely no evidence of a shortage of
pipeline capacity: in fact, there is significant excess capacity. More importantly, if there were signs of a
possible future shortage, ABAG POWER would seek to acquire pipeline capacity that matches its natural
gas purchasing strategy — not PG &E's.
..
The letter of support ABAG POWER has prepared for the Mayor's signature is included as Attachment
A. Attachment B is a memo from ABAG POWER with more detailed information.

The City of Saratoga is a member of ABAG POWER, a joint exercise of power agency which serves as a
core transport agent for 38 public entities since 1996. The City has a constituency of over 30,000
California residents. We provide to our citizenry essential services that include police services, public
works, library and museum activities, recreation and community services for the youth and elderly of
Saratoga and surrounding areas, and community based events. We rely on a cost effective and stable
supply of natural gas in providing such services, especially now.
Beginning early last year, CPUC regulations were put into place that require ABAG POWER to take and
pay for a portion of PG &E's pipeline capacity. This is a significant burden on the ABAG POWER
program and the City for the following reasons:
• Our purchasing strategy does not generally include the tactic of contracting for pipeline capacity
separate from the purchase of natural gas.
• Even if we changed our gas purchasing strategy to include this tactic, absent the recent
regulations we would not choose to match the locations and the amounts that we will be required
to take from PG &E.
• We cannot recover our costs by reselling this pipeline capacity.
PG &E claims that this pipeline capacity serves as a hedge against possible future shortages that would
prevent it from moving natural gas into the region. There is absolutely no evidence of a shortage of
pipeline capacity: in fact, there is significant excess capacity. More importantly, if there were signs of a
possible future shortage, ABAG POWER would seek to acquire pipeline capacity that matches its natural
gas purchasing strategy — not PG &E's.
The City of Saratoga requests that the CPUC rescind the regulations that require core transportation
agents like ABAG POWER to take and pay for PG &E's excess pipeline capacity. Please contact Mary
Furey (mfureyksarato a.c�a.us, (408) 868 -1221) or Jerry Lahr (JerryLkabag ca.gov, 510- 464 -7908) if
you have any questions on this issue.

MEMORANDUM
ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS Pa
Representing City and County Governments of the San Francisco Bay Area Agenda Item 5C CAMA
DATE: December 6, 2012
TO: ABAG POWER Executive Committee
FROM: Gerald L. Lahr, Manager, ABAG POWER
RE: Natural Gas Pipeline Capacity Costs
Summary. California's "core aggregation" program provides retail choice in the core natural gas market
by allowing core customers to purchase gas directly from competitive suppliers (Core Transportation
Agents or CTAs) rather than from investor owned utilities (IOUs) such as PG &E. Since the institution of
the core aggregation program, CTAs have steadily gained a customer base throughout PG &E's service
territory. In fact, CTAs have gained market share now approaching fifteen percent of PG &E's core
market. Pursuant to recent California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) decisions, CTAs must
take or pay for a share of all long -term interstate pipeline capacity held for core customers by PG &E under
contracts that the Commission has approved. Such a requirement jeopardizes CTAs' abilities to compete
with PG &E, thereby decreasing value for core customers.
Background. Under previous Commission rulings related to PG &E's natural gas transportation and
storage issues (commonly referred to as the `Gas Accord'),' CTAs have benefitted from the right to
request and receive an assignment of PG &E's core interstate pipeline capacity in monthly or annual
increments, but have never been obligated to pay for pipeline capacity contracted by PG &E for its core
customers that the CTAs did not actually use. In the Gas Accord II (2002) decision, however, the
Commission required that, once the January capacity factor for all CTAs reached 10% of PG &E's total
January core loads, CTAs would be required to pay for a percentage of PG &E's excess pipeline and
storage capacity in an amount equal to their market share whether or not CTAs use the capacity. Under
this policy, CTAs would have been required to pay for their entire pro rata share of core capacity
beginning April 2012 because the January capacity factor for CTAs exceeded 10% prior to April 2011.
The most recent Gas Accord V Settlement (2011), however, modified the implementation of the "full cost
responsibility" policy adopted in Gas Accord II. Under the CTA Settlement PG &E and a number of CTAs
(including ABAG POWER) agreed to a three -year process, beginning in April 2012, for a phase -in of the
full cost sharing, which the Commission approved. Under this modified arrangement, after April 2015,
each CTA will be required to pay for (but not necessarily hold) their entire pro rata share of PG &E's core
interstate pipeline capacity. A CTA can continue to take an assignment of PG &E's capacity, and its
payment for the use of the assigned capacity contributes to its obligation for the costs of PG &E's capacity.
Additionally, as part of the Gas Accord V settlement, PG &E is required to release any capacity that is not
accepted by CTAs to the marketplace through an auction, and any revenue from this process will be used
to offset the cost responsibility of the CTAs (`unrecovered capacity costs').
t The original Gas Accord was adopted in 1997 and implemented during the period 1998 -2002. Subsequent Gas Accord
agreements have generally followed every 2 -3 years.

MEMORANDUM
ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS Pa
Representing City and County Governments of the San Francisco Bay Area Agenda Item 5C CAMA
In July 2011 ABAG POWER joined with other CTAs (`CTA Consortium') in an effort to further reduce
its exposure to the stranded capacity costs created by PG &E. The Consortium hired legal counsel
(Winston & Strawn) and a technical consultant (Crossborder Energy) to study the issues and offer advice.
Ultimately a decision was made to file a `Petition to Modify' two prior California Public Utility
Commission (CPUC) decisions. A petition was initially filed on May 17, 2012,2 as follows:
Modify Decision 03 -12 -061 to allow CTAs to opt out of an allocation of PG &E's interstate
pipeline capacity holdings when the underlying contracts come up for renewal in order to
minimize their exposure to stranded costs.
Replace the requirement set forth in Decision 04 -09 -022 that PG &E must hold between 962 and
1,058 MMcVd of interstate pipeline capacity for core customers with a requirement that PG &E
must hold interstate capacity in an amount equal to between 100% and 120% of its forecast daily
bundled core demand.
In its filing the Consortium explained that these modifications were being requested in order to:
• Enhance gas supply choice for PG &E's core gas customers
• Reflect the significant reduction in bundled core demand on the PG &E system, compared to
growth in pipeline capacity serving California.
• Align the core capacity requirement for PG &E with the core capacity requirement of Southern
California Gas Company and San Diego Gas & Electric.
• Automatically accommodate changes in the level of PG &E's bundled core portfolio demand.
• Reduce pipeline capacity costs for all of PG &E's core gas customers.
In September, PG &E filed an Advice Letter with the CPUC seeking to approve a one -year extension of
two existing pipeline contracts. The Consortium (in collaboration with Shell) filed a response to the
Advice Letter calling the Commission's attention to the fact that PG &E's request to extend these contracts
perpetuates a pipeline capacity cost burden on CTAs and their customers, and reminding them of the
previously filed Petition to Modify. The CPUC subsequently approved PG &E's Advice Letter, although
they acknowledge the issues raised by CTAC.
In November, the CPUC issued a Proposed Decision (PD) for each of the two Petitions filed by CTAC.
One of these PDs offers a modest amount of relief by lowering the amount of capacity that PG &E is
required to hold on behalf of core customers, while the other PD offers little relief, and seems to
misunderstand the request stated in the Petitions.
CTAC is now in the process of filing comments on the PDs, as well as meeting with advisors to the CPUC
commissioners to clarify, the relief requested in the petitions.
To date, ABAG POWER has obligated itself to spending $11,500 for its share of the legal costs associated
with this effort.
2 At the time of the initial CPUC filing the membership of the CTA Consortium included: Accent Energy, ABAG
POWER, Commercial Energy, School Project for Rate Reduction (SPURR), Tiger Natural Gas and UET/Blue Spruce.
Shell Energy North America joined the CTA Consortium as a joint petitioner.

Discussion. Earlier this year ABAG POWER began receiving invoices from PG &E for the unrecovered
pipeline capacity costs for periods beginning with April in accordance with the Gas Accord V settlement.
For the first three months these invoices remained fairly steady at approximately $650 /month. However,
in July the monthly invoice amount increased to approximately $3,400 and has continued at this level.
ABAG POWER staff estimate that the potential total cost burden on the program could theoretically be as
high as $44,000 /month in 2015 ($528,000/yr), assuming that the CPUC regulations remain unchanged, and
PG &E collects zero revenue from its capacity auction. This cost could overwhelm any potential program
savings.
In the past, ABAG POWER has chosen not to utilize the interstate capacity offered to it for a variety of
reasons, including: (1) the cost of the capacity is relatively high; (2) the amount of capacity offered varies
from pipeline to pipeline creating mismatches that lead to stranded capacity; (3) significant administrative
burden in implementing and maintaining contracts with the various pipeline companies; (4) accepting the
capacity forces the program to purchase gas based on PG &E's selection of pipelines, thus limiting the
program's flexibility to purchase gas at the least cost; (5) the relatively small amounts of capacity offered
to ABAG POWER are not in quantities that are preferred by gas suppliers.
While ABAG POWER could seek to make more full utilization of the capacity offerings, due to the
reasons stated above, to date we have concluded that it is more favorable to decline the interstate capacity
offerings; allow the rejected capacity to be entered into PG &E's market auction, and accept whatever
revenue is gained as an offset to the cost.
Conclusion. While the goals of ABAG POWER are not solely related to cost savings, this remains a
significant driver of the program, and the unrecovered capacity costs could provide a significant barrier to
this objective.
In addition, CTAs as a group desire to maintain their ability to choose for themselves the most economical
way to supply the natural gas needs of their customers, rather than being bound by the capacity decisions
made by PG &E. ABAG POWER concurs with this desire, and therefore intends to continue to support the
efforts of the CTA Consortium. It is hoped that the Petition to Modify will gain traction with the CPUC in
the near future, so the program can begin to reduce the expense associated with the unrecovered pipeline
capacity costs, as the pipeline capacity contracts come up for renewal.
ABAG POWER staff, in collaboration with the Executive Committee will continue to monitor the
regulatory proceedings as well as the costs associated with this issue to see if any change in strategy or
program operation is warranted.

AGENDA ITEM:
CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
DIRECTOR: John Cherbone
SUBJECT: Quarry Property Master Plan Project Consultant Selection
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Select The Planning Center /DC &E as the consultant for Quarry Property Master Plan
Development Project.
2. Authorize City Manager to enter into a Professional Service Agreement with The
Planning Center /DC &E in the amount of $249,631.

As part of the Purchase Agreement with the County of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation
Department (County) and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District), the City is
responsible for developing a Final Management Plan (Master Plan) for the Quarry Property. The
development and implementation of the Master Plan will be subject to County and District
review and input.
In order to find a suitable consultant to assist the City with preparation of a Master Plan
including environmental approvals, a Request for Proposal to provide professional design
services was distributed to over 20 consulting firms and exchange networks. Several site visits
were organized to provide opportunity for consultants to visit the site and understand the scope
of work.
Total of eight companies submitted proposals and the cost of services as listed below:
Harris Design
$234,021
Bellinger Foster Steinmetz
$238,725
SSA Landscape Architects
$244,850
RRM Design Group
$246,438
The Planning Center/DC &E
$249,631
Gates and Associates
$249,636
RHAA Landscape Architecture
$249,827
MPA Design
$458,576
56
City staff carefully reviewed all submitted proposals. Based on qualifications, experience with
similar projects and overall understanding of the project, two top companies, The Planning
Center/DC &E and Bellinger Foster Steinmetz, were invited for interviews on March 26, 2013.
After both companies' presentations, checking references and further discussions, staff believes
The Planning Center /DC &E is the most qualified company to prepare the Quarry Property
Master Plan. This conclusion is based on the firm's extensive expertise in open space planning,
land use planning, public outreach, and environmental review process. In addition, The Planning
Center /DC &E included in their project team companies with special expertise in biological
services, cultural resources, hydrology, park and trail design and civil engineering.
It is therefore recommended the Council select The Planning Center /DC &E as the consultant to
prepare the Quarry property Master Plan.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Funding for this project is included in the approved CIP budget.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The Agreement with The Planning Center /DC &E will not be executed.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Council could direct staff to select a different consultant or prepare another Request for
Proposal.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
A Professional Service Agreement with The Planning Center /DC &E will be executed.

G iven the abundance of natural and cultural resources present at Q uarry Park, the m aster plan process m ust include m eaningfuI data
collection and synthesis. W e propose to collect data for the entire property to best inform decision m akin g, and to provide additional
to cu s e d surveys for key areas en vis io n e fo r use, im p rovem ents, or preservation. Existin g. co n d itio n an d o p p o rtun ities an d co n-

Site Features and Topography. The Planning Center I DC &E will begin locating site features during an initial site tour utilizing
G PS. This inform ation will be included on the project Base M a as relevant, and expanded upon as N V 5 provides inform ation
on utilities and in fro stru ctu re. Fu rtherm ore, focused topographic surveys will be co nd a ctod by N V5 based on the Draft M aster
PIan. These surveys will provide detailed survey data for use areas that in ay be developed and other key areas.
Flora and Fauna... Including Trees! HT Harvey and Associates (HT Harvey) will conduct a reconnaissance -level biological
survey of the entire property to in to rm planning decisions. This survey will result in a general in ap of dom inant habitats for the
property, a coin prehensive list of flora and fauna observed, and the identification of all special - status species with potential to
occur on the property. Following the developm ent of the M aster Plan, HT H arvey'.s arborist w ill conduct focused tree surveys for
protected trees.

The Pla a n in Center I DC &E team has proposed an interactive process for developing the Q uacry Park M aster PIan that actively in-
volves project . team in em bars and the coin in unity in identifying desired future conditions for the Park based on solid understanding
of baseline conditions. 0 or approach involves inform ed design, innovative planning, and creative solution building and is designed
to reach the following outcomes: (1) a strategic vision supported by coon in unity anit stakeholders; (2) maximization of accessibility
and ecology with i n historic context; and (3) benefits of the park transcending its boundaries.

The new park design creates concrete plaza areas that sim ultaneously cap the soil below, create passive recreation space, and land -
s cap in g. that treats sto rm water run -off through th e u se of sw ales and n alive p lantin gs. Steel an d co n cre to retain in g walls, as w e II as

The project opened in the fall of 2010 and received a m erit award in 2011 from the Am erican Society of Landscape Architects, North-

HT Harvey ecologists will conduct reconnaissance -level field surveys of the property to gain a faro ilia rity with the biological resources
of the site and assess the potential for sensitive and regulated. h a b ita is and plant and wildlife species whose presence would inform
m aster planning of the site. Since the property clearly has num erous drainages, seeps, and ponds, the survey will include field re -
connaissance of aquatic habitats that m ay be subject to the re g la to ry jurisdiction of the U.S. Arm y Corps of Engineers (U SAC E),
CD FW, an d /or R QCB. Habitat preservation, enhancement, and restoration opportunities will also be conceptually identified.
Although a detailed ordinance tree survey will be deferred to Task D.2, during our reconnaissance -level surveys, HT Harvey will m ake
note of the species of trees, as well as trees that will likely be im portant for the m aster planning process.
F Itow in the reconnaissance -level surveys, HT Harvey will prepare a m em orandum including: (1) a general m a of the dour in ant

The Planning Center I D C&E will prepare an Initial Study checklist during the M aster Plan Developm ent phase of the project in order
to assess potential environm ental im pacts of the project.
As required by C E Q A, the Initial Study will include a detailed project description, analysis of potential environm ental im pacts (includ-
ing consultation with regulatory agencies, if necessary) and m itig a tion on easures, if necessary. Evaluation of each topic will be based
on existing environm ental docum entation and by biological site review completed as part of Task B.
The Initial Study will present evidence indicating how environm ental im pacts will be avoided as ap p to p ria te. Assum ing that all envi-
ronm ental effects can be avoided or on itigated to a less- than - significant level, this inform ation will be used to support the proposed
CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration forthe project.
The Planning Center I DCBE will submit an ele ctro o is copy of the Adon in is tra tive Draft Initial Study to the C. ity to review. After the
review, The Planning Center IDC&E will meet with staff to discuss com m ents on the document and strategies to m itigate potential

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: April 3, 2013
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
PREPARED BY: Michael Fossati
AGENDA ITEM:
CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
DIRECTOR: James Lindsay
SUBJECT: Zoning Ordinance Amendment (1) Allowing businesses to sell beer and wine as
a permitted use under certain conditions, (2) Creating a new definition for
alcoholic beverage, and (3) Modifying the definition of retail establishment and
market.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct a public hearing, introduce and waive the first reading of the ordinance, and direct staff
to place the ordinance on the consent calendar for adoption at the next regular meeting of the
City Council.
REPORT SUMMARY:
As part of the approved 2013 Community Development Department Work Plan, the City Council
directed staff and the Planning Commission to draft an ordinance allowing the sale of beer and
wine as a permitted use when no more than 500 square feet or 25% of the floor space, whichever
is less, is dedicated to such sales.
The Planning Commission discussed this matter during public hearings held on February 23,
2013 and March 13, 2013 and unanimously recommended the following:
Allow retail establishments and markets to sell beer and wine as a permitted use when no
more than 250 square feet or 10% of the floor space, whichever is less, is dedicated to
beer and wine sales. Limit the hours of operation for the permitted sale of beer and wine
to no later than 11:00 P.M. The Commission believed that the 25% or 500 square foot
limit was too large and the hours of operation were established in order to align with the
hours of operation for permitted tasting rooms in the Village.
Amend the existing definitions for "retail establishment" and "market and add a
definition for "alcoholic beverage" within the City Code. These amendments are
intended to clearly delineate a "retail establishment" use from a "market" use. The
definition of "alcoholic beverage" is being proposed in order to allow the City to permit
the limited sale of beverages similar to beer and/or wine (such as mead, ale, champagne,
or other alcoholic beverages that are not considered distilled spirits) within a retail
establishment.
Create a new section of the City Code within Article 15 -19 that speaks specifically to
alcohol related uses. The Planning Commission recommended the new language in
order to assist prospective business owners, with a retail alcohol sales component, on
how to properly entitle their business regarding approvals and permits from the City.
112
Create language to permit hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast establishments to sell
beer and /or wine for on -site and off -site consumption in a limited capacity. Planning
Commission requested the creation of the language in order to allow uses in the
hospitality industry to have the same benefit as those in the retail industry, without the
need to amend or apply for a use permit.
Additional background material on the proposed amendments is provided in the Planning
Commission staff report (Attachment No. 3).
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the amendment is exempt under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not
subject to CEQA.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Do not accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and provide staff with direction.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Schedule the ordinance for a second reading.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council agenda
item and was included in the packet made available on the City's website in advance of the
meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library
each Monday in advance of the Council meeting. Notice of the City Council's public hearing on
this item was published in the Saratoga News on 03/19/13 and mailed in the manner and to the

City of Saratoga
Michael Fossati
The proposed zoning amendment would allow businesses to sell beer and/or wine for
consumption off -site as a principally permitted use within any commercial zoning district
under certain conditions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission (PC) adopt Resolution No. 13 -007 approving
the recommendation that the proposed zoning amendment be adopted by City Council.
PROJECT DETAILS
Background
City Code section 15- 19.020 currently requires any establishment engaged in the sale of
alcoholic beverages to obtain a conditional use permit (CUP). At the January 25, 2013 City
Council retreat, the Council directed the Planning Commission to return to the Council with
a recommended ordinance allowing retail sale of beer and wine as a permitted use when no
more than 500 square feet or 25% of the floor space, whichever is less, is dedicated to beer
and wine sales. Additional code modifications have been included within the ordinance to
provide consistent language throughout certain sections of the code. Those amendments can
be found in City Code Section 15- 18.020 and 15- 19.020.
February 23, 2013 Meeting Summary
The Planning Commission reviewed the amended language at their regularly scheduled
02/23/13 PC meeting. After thorough discussion, the Commission requested the following
items be addressed:
135
• Create a defmition for "bar" or similar facility and amend the existing definitions
between "retail establishment" and "market ".
• Create a new section of code within the Article 15 -19 that speaks specifically to
alcohol related uses.
• Amend the hours of operation for permitted uses that allow the retail sales of beer
and/or wine for off -site consumption.
• Research the amount of floor area allowed for retail beer and/or wine sales as an
accessory use.
• Create language to permit Hotels and/or Motels to sale beer and/or wine for on -site
and off -site consumption.
Amend existing definitions between "retail establishment" and "market ". Create a
definition for "bar" or similar facility.
Staff has researched the request of the Planning Commission and proposes the following
code amendments for review and approval. All new language has been double - underlined
and any language to be removed has been °* -ieke *h,.,,,,"
15 -06 -085 — Bar
"Bar" means a commercial establishment open to the general public which sells and
serves distilled spirits for consumption on the premises. A commercial
establishment that does not contain a kitchen and is devoted to the sampling .
consumption, and sales of wine or beer produced on or off the premises is a tasting
room and not a bar.
15- 06.560 - Retail establishment
"Retail establishment" means a use engaged in providing retail sale or rental of items
primarily intended for consumer or household use, including establishments where
25% or less (but no more than 2,000 square feet) of the total floor area is dedicated
to food and non - alcoholic drink sales. Any use including a personal service business
is a personal service business and not a retail establishment.
15- 06.441— Market
"Market" means an establishment which sells or offers for sale to the public any
food or drink for human consumption off -site, with the exception of a tasting room
as defined in this Article or a lawfully located mobile canteen or other mobile unit as
defined in Article 7 -25. Any use including an establishment where 25% or less (but
no more than 2.000 square feet) of the total floor area is dedicated to food or non-
alcoholic drink sales is a retail establishment and not a market.
136
Create a new section of code within the Article 15 -19 that speaks specifically to alcohol
related uses.
Amend the hours of operation for permitted uses that allow the retail sales of beer
and/or wine for off -site consumption.
Staff has amended the previous resolution to allow all permitted retail uses providing
direct customer services on -site and related to accessory retail sales of beer and/or
wine will be allowed to operate no later than 11:00 P.M. Uses providing such
services between the hours of 11:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. may be allowed upon the
granting of a conditional use permit.
Research the amount of floor area allowed for retail beer and /or wine sales as an
accessory use.
Staff has reviewed other establishments with accessory retail sales of beer and/or
wine (i.e. Vine Life) and have determined that either 25% or less (but no more than
500 square feet) of total floor area is adequate in keeping the sale of such goods
incidental to the main use.
Create language to permit hotels to sale beer and/or wine for on -site and off -site
consumption in limited capacity.
Staff has amended the following definition for PC review.
15- 06.360 — Hotel.
"Hotel" means a structure or portion thereof or a group of attached or detached
structures containing individual guest rooms or suites where lodging is provided
primarily to transients for compensation. The term includes motel, inn, tourist court,
bed and breakfast establishment, or similar use. Related ancillary uses may include,
but shall not be limited to a portion of the hotel where 25% or less (but no more than
500 square feet) of total floor area is dedicated to retail beer and/or wine sales for
on -site and off -site consumption.
Noticing
Notice of the 02/27/13 public hearing had been published in a newspaper having general
circulation in the City no later than ten days prior to that meeting. The meeting was
continued to a date certain (03/13/13) during the 02/27/13 public hearing. No additional
noticing is required.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The project is exempt from the Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State Guidelines. The activity
is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential
137
for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that
there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed project consists of an
ordinance that modifies the permitting process for "Retail Establishments ". These changes
are not anticipated to result in any changes to the physical environment.

PROJECT SUMMARY:
Annexation of Unincorporated Islands
Pursuant to state law, the Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) of Santa Clara Valley
indentified "islands" within the City's Urban Service Area (USA) that are not currently a part of
Saratoga. LAFCO urges cities to annex these islands.
On August 15, 2012, the City Council adopted a resolution to initiate annexation proceedings of
certain unincorporated islands located within the City's Urban Service Area. These included
42.5 acres along Mount Eden Road and 103 acres at 22101 Mount Eden Road. The City Council
also directed staff to complete an application for LAFCO approval to expand the USA to include
the Quarry Property so that it could be annexed and to remove three unincorporated islands in
the vicinity of On Orbit Drive, West Road, and in the Orchard Meadows Subdivision by
retracting the City's USA in these areas. LAFCO approved the City's application at their
meeting of February 6, 2013.
Congress Springs Quarry Property
139
On August 17, 2011, the City Council authorized the City's acquisition of the 68 -acre Congress
Springs Quarry Property from the County of Santa Clara. When the City purchased the property
it was located outside the USA. LACFO approved a request by the City to expand the USA to
include the Quarry Property which would then permit the City to annex the property.
The Current General Plan Land Use Designation for the Quarry Property is Hillside Open Space.
A consistent land use designation for the Quarry Property would be Open Space- Outdoor
Recreation (OS -OR) as the City intends to the use it as a city park. The OS -OR designation is
limited to only City or County parks or lands designated for those uses. A resolution to change
the land use designation of the Quarry Property is included as Attachment 2C.
Initiation of Annexation
When the City Council adopted Resolution 12 -050 initiating the annexation of certain
unincorporated islands within the County of Santa Clara; the Congress Springs Quarry Property
was not included because at that time it was located outside the City's USA. In addition, a 0.28 -
acre unincorporated parcel (517 -32 -001) in the vicinity of 22100 Mount Eden Road, later
identified by the Santa Clara County Surveyor during the review of the annexations, was not
included in the original resolution. This property is part of a larger parcel with a common owner
that is included in the list of parcels to be annexed. The property owner has been notified of
these proceedings. A resolution amending the original August 15, 2012 annexation initiation
resolution to add the two additional properties is included as Attachment 1.
Agricultural Preserve /Open Space Amendment
One of the properties included in the annexation of the unincorporated islands is a 103 -acre
parcel located at 22101 Mount Eden Road that is pre -zoned Residential Open Space (R -OS).
The property is subject to an existing Williamson Act Contract with the County of Santa Clara to
voluntarily restrict the land to agricultural and open -space uses.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 51243, when the property is annexed, the City
automatically succeeds to all rights, duties, and powers of the County of Santa Clara under the
Contract. (A Notice of Nonrenewal of the Williamson Act Contract has been filed with the
Santa Clara County Recorder. The existing contract will terminate on January 1, 2020.) A copy
of the contract is included as Attachment 4.
The 103 acre parcel located at 22101 Mount Eden Road would be made subject to the Agricultural
Preserve /Open Space Overlay zoning. The AP -OS overlay promotes agricultural uses and such
zoning amendment is required for land on which Williamson Act contracts are executed. The
overlay zone thereby encourages and preserves such contracts in accordance with the policies set
forth in the General Plan. A copy of the ordinance applying AP /OS overlay zoning to the property
is included as Attachment #3.
Planniniz Commission Review
The Planning Commission reviewed the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Amendments
during and recommended the City Council approve them.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies only to projects which have the
potential of causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty
140
that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The proposed Annexations, General Plan
Amendment, and Zoning Amendment are not subject to CEQA because they will impose greater
land use restrictions on the properties than currently exist, will involve no physical change to the
environment, assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the
environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect
on the environment in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15308 and 15061(b)(3).
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The City of Saratoga will be responsible for maintaining the approximately 400 foot long section
of Mount Eden Road located between 22122 -22461 Mount Eden Road and the associated cost of
this maintenance, according to the Public Works Department, is expected to be minimal.
The City will benefit from additional property tax revenue based on the assessed value of the
properties to be annexed.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If the annexation is not given final approval, the unincorporated islands along Mount Eden Road
and the Congress Springs Quarry Property would remain in Santa Clara County and future
development of the privately owned parcels would be subject to the County's development
standards.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Deny the proposed resolution approving annexation.
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
Upon approval of the attached resolution giving final annexation approval, staff will submit the
final annexation to LAFCO for a Certification of Completion. In addition, Staff will agendize
the ordinance for the rezoning for a second reading at a future City Council meeting.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
All notice requirements of Government Code Section 65091 have been satisfied as required for
amendment of the City General Plan Land Use Map and Zoning Ordinance. Furthermore, all
notice requirements for final approval of the proposed annexation have been satisfied. In
addition, pursuant to Government Code 54954.2, this item was properly posted as a City Council
agenda item and was included in the packet made available on the City's website in advance of
the meeting. A copy of the agenda packet is also made available at the Saratoga Branch Library
each Monday in advance of the Council meeting.

RESOLUTION NO: 13-
A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP OF THE CITY
OF SARATOGA BY CHANGING THE LAND USE DESIGNATION OF THE 68 -ACRE
CONGRESS SPRINGS QUARRY PROPERTY FROM HILLSIDE OPEN SPACE TO
OPEN SPACE OUTDOOR RECREATION
WHEREAS, on August 17, 2011, the City Council authorized the acquisition of the 68-
acre unincorporated Congress Springs Quarry Property (APNs 503 -48 -044, 503 -48 -045 and 517-
32 -001) — hereafter the "Congress Springs Quarry Parcels ") from the County of Santa Clara.
WHEREAS, on February 6, 2013, the Local Agency Formation Commission for Santa
Clara County approved the City's application for an expansion of the City's Urban Service Area
to include the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels.
WHERAS, on April 3, 2013, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the
annexation of the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels to the City of Saratoga.
WHEREAS, the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels have an existing General Plan Land
Use Designation of Hillside Open Space.
WHEREAS, the City intends to utilize the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels as a City
park with trail connections to the Skyline -to- the -Sea Trail as well as to provide regional park
connections through the Tollgate area to the Parker Ranch Open Space and the Fremont Older
Open Space Preserve.
WHEREAS, the City proposes to amend the City's General Plan Land Use Map to
redesignate the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels from Hillside Open Space to Open Space -
Outdoor Recreation to be consistent with the City's intent to utilize the Congress Springs Quarry
Properties as a City park.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby finds, determines
and resolves as follows:
Section 1: The recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by
this reference.
Section 2: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to 14 C.C.R. Section 15061(b)(3) of the Public Resources Code because it can
be seen certainty that there is no possibility of an impact on the environment in that the project
would reduce the development potential for the parcels in question. As an amendment to the
City General Plan which will protect natural resources and result in a net decrease in
development potential, the project also qualifies for an exemption under both 14 C.C.R. Sections
15307 (action by a regulatory agency to protect natural resources) and 15308 (action by a
regulatory agency to protect the environment). The project is also exempt pursuant to 14 C.C.R.
164
Attachment 2C
Section 15325 (f) because it is part of the acquisition process by the City to preserve open space
or lands for park purposes.
Section 3: The City Council further finds that the proposed General Plan amendment is
consistent with other land use policies and the policies of all other elements of the General Plan.
Section 4: The City Council has determined that the General Plan Land Use Map should
reflect and be consistent with the intended use of the Congress Springs Quarry Parcels as City
park lands.
Section 5: The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby amends the City of Saratoga
General Plan Land Use Map by changing the land use designation of the 68 -acre Congress
Springs Quarry Parcels (APNs 503 -48 -044, 503 -48 -045 and 517 -32 -001) to Open Space -
Outdoor Recreation from Hillside Open Space, as depicted in Exhibit A (attached).
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Saratoga on this 3rd day of April

ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE APPLYING AP /OS OVERLAY ZONING TO
APN 503 -09 -008 LOCATED AT 22101 MOUNT EDEN ROAD
Whereas, Pursuant to City Code Article 15 -15 and General Plan Section OSC 8a, the City of
Saratoga is applying the Agricultural Preserve /Open Space Overlay (AP /OS) zoning to an approximately
106 -acre parcel located at 22101 Mount Eden Road proposed for annexation to the City because such parcel
is under Williamson Act Contract. This ordinance was introduced following a duly noticed public hearing on
April 3, 2013. The Planning Commission recommended adoption of this ordinance following a duly noticed
public hearing held March 27, 2013.
Therefore, the City Council hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. Adoption.
The City Zoning Map is hereby amended to add Agricultural Preserve /Open Space (AP /OS) overlay zoning to
the 106 -acre parcel described on Exhibit A attached hereto (APN 503 -09 -008).
Section 2. California Environmental Quality Act
The application of the AP /OS overlay zoning to the specified property is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act because it will impose greater land use restrictions on the property than currently
exist, will involve no physical change to the environment, assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement,
or protection of the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the overlay
zoning may have a significant effect on the environment in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines (14 C.C.R.
Sections 15308 and 15061(b)(3)).
Section 3. Publication.
This ordinance or a comprehensive summary thereof shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation
of the City of Saratoga within fifteen days after its adoption.
Following a duly noticed public hearing the foregoing ordinance was introduced and read at the regular
meeting of the City Council of the City of Saratoga held on the 3rd day of April 2013, and was adopted by the
following vote following a second reading on the 24`h day of April 2013.

9. CA&CELLATSON
This agreement may be canceled by the mutual agreement of
the parties hereto and the approval of the State of California in
the manner provided in this paragraph. it is understood by the
parties hereto that the existence of an opportunity for another
use of the property shall not be sufficient reason for the cancel-
lation of this agreement. A potential alternative use of the
property may be considered only if there is no proximate nonre-
stricted land suitable for the use to which it is proposed that
this property be put_ The parties further understand that the
uneconomic character of an existing agricultural use shall not be
sufficient reason for cancellation of this agreement, but may be
considered only if there is no other reasonable or comparable
agricultural use to which the land may be put.
(a) Upon the written request of owner to cancel this agree-
ment, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara may
adopt a resolution consenting to such request. Prior to the
adoption of a resolution consenting to the request of the land-
owner to cancel this agreement, the Board of Supervisors of County
shall hold a public hearing on the matter. Notice of the hearing
shall be mailed to each and every owner of property under agreement
within the agricultural preserve in which the property described
in Exhibit A is located, and shall be published pursuant to Section
6061 of the Government code. if at the hearing, or prior thereto,
the owners of 51 percent of the acreage under agreement in the
agricultural preserve protest the cancellation of this agreement.,
the Board of Supervisors shall not consent to cancel this agreement.
(b) If the Board of Supervisors adopts a resolution consent-
ing to the request of owner to cancel this agreement, the parties
shall request that the cancellation be approved by the state
Director of Agriculture upon the recommendation of the State
Board of Agriculture. The State Board of Agriculture may recom-
mend and the State Director of Agriculture may approve the cancel-
lation only if they find: (1) The cancellation is not
-4-

Boob 8224 FACE 165
inconsistent with the purposes of the California Land Conservation
Act of 1965; and (2) the cancellation is in the public interest.
(c) The provisions of subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 9
relating to the State Board of Agriculture and the Director of
Agriculture shall be applicable only if both the State Board and
the State Director consent to act as described herein. if either
the State Board or the State Director fail or refuse to act within
60 days after being requested to do so, the Board of Supervisors
of the County of Santa Cara shall act in the place and stead of
the State Board and State Director and shall make all findings
and decisions required by subparagraph (b).
10. LIABILITY OF OWNER UPON CANCELLATION
(a) Upon cancellation of this agreement, and as soon there-
after as the property to which it relates is reassessed by Assessor,
Owner shall pay to the County Treasurer, as deterred taxes, an
amount equal to 50 percent of the new equalized assessed valuation
of the property; provided, however, if after the date this agree-
ment was initially entered into the publicly announced County
ratio of assessed to full cash value is changed, the percentage
payment shall be changed so no greater percent of full cash value
will be paid than would have been paid had there been no change
in ratio. It is agreed by the parties hereto that the publicly
announced County ratio at the time this agreement is executed is
25 percent of full cash value.
(b) If the State Board of Agriculture recommends that it is
in the public interest to do so, and the State Director of Agri-
culture so finds, the Director may waive any such payment or any
portion thereof, or may make such payment or portion thereof,
contingent upon the future use made of the property and its
economic return to owner for a period of time not to exceed the
unexpired term of the agreement had it not been canceled, provided:
(i) the cancellation is caused by a nonvoluntary transfer or
change in the use which may be made of the property and the pro-
perty is not immediately suitable, nor will be immediately used,
for a purpose which produces a greater economic return to Owner;
and (ii) County has recommended to the State Board of Agriculture
-5-

that no such payment be required or that the deferment of such
payment or portion thereof be allowed, and the board has deter•-

Agriculture shall be applicable only if the State Board and the

From Chris McKenzie, Executive Director
Re: Proposed Amendments to League Bylaws
At its February meeting, the League's Board of Directors approved submitting two amendments
to the League's Bylaws to the membership. The proposed amendments would amend the Bylaws
to provide that:
1. Resolutions submitted to the League for presentation to the General Assembly must be
concurred in by at least five or more cities or by city officials from at least five or more
cities.
2. The League Board may take a position on a statewide ballot measure by a 2f3rd vote of
those Directors present. Currently, the Board may take positions with a simple majority
vote.
The Board's purpose in submitting the first proposed amendment is to encourage members to
seek concurrence of other cities and city officials that the subject of a proposed resolution is a
substantial one and of broad interest and importance to cities. The Board's purpose in submitting
the second proposed amendment is to ensure that when the Board considers a position on
possibly controversial statewide ballot measures, the Beard's ultimate decision represents a
broad consensus of the Directors.
The language of the proposed amendments is provided in the attached Resolution. To be
approved, the Bylaws require each amendment must receive a 213�d vote of those members
voting. To consult the League's Bylaws: go to www.eacities.or . The link is at the bottom of the
page.
As provided in the Leagues Bylaws, the Board of Directors is submitting these amendments to
the membership for approval by mail ballot. Please return the enclosed ballot, signed by an
authorized city official, by April 19, 2013.
Ballots may be submitted by email to: ballots@cacities.org.
By mail to:
