CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 867 -3438 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council DATE: October 21, 1987 FROM: Yuchuek Hsia, Planning Director SUBJECT: Triangle North, GP -87 -002; ZC -87 -002 Project Description For several months the cities of Saratoga and San Jose have been discussing the exchange of property at the northeast corner of Saratoga around the Lawrence Expressway in order to create a more logical boundary between the cities. On September 2, 1987, the City Council formally endorsed the exchange of property and directed staff to proceed with the reorganization. The proposal consists of: - detachment of 12.12 acres (including 4.6 acres of the Lawrence Expressway) from Saratoga and annexation of same to the City of San Jose. - annexation of 5.82 acres to Saratoga and detachment of same from the City of San Jose. The reorganization would establish the boundary between the cities along the Lawrence Expressway and Quito Road (see Exhibit A). Action to be Taken Procedurally, the City Council must adopt the negative declaration, amend the General Plan to establish the appropriate land use designation, prezone the property to be consistent with the General Plan when the property is annexed into Saratoga, and approve and exchange of property taxes with the city of San Jose. The City of San Jose is taking similar actions. The following is a brief explanation of each of the actions to be taken by the Council. 1 1. Negative Declaration As pointed out in the initial study, the properties are essentially developed to the fullest extent possible,. San Jose has completed environmental review for the retail /office center for the remaining vacant property labelled "C" on Exhibit A. The negative declaration for that property is incorporated by reference. No adverse environmental impacts will result from the amendment to the General Plan, prezoning and annexation of the property. 2. General Plan Amendment 3. 4. Since the property to be of Influence, there is property. The proposed commercial designation, development. Prezoning annexed is outside the city's Sphere no general plan designation on the amendment is to establish a retail CR, consistent with the existing As required by state law, property to be annexed must have a zone category assigned in order to establish the proposed uses and restrictions that will apply upon annexation. In this case, the prezoning, to CN, neighborhood commercial, is consistent with the existing and approved development, as well as with the General Plan designation. Exchange of Property tax revenues The approximate assessed valuation of the parcels under consideration are shown on Exhibit 2. As a result of the land swap, Saratoga would receive 4.79 acres of private property with a net assessed valuation of $2,264,915. San Jose will obtain 6.54 acres of private property, with a net assessed valuation of $3,215,870. Upon development of the 1.49 acres of vacant property to be annexed into Saratoga (APN 386- 23 -37, 38, 40), the assessed valuation will increase, thereby making the exchange a balanced one. The attached resolution agrees to relinguish claim to future property tax revenues from the parcels to be detached. Similarly, San Jose staff is recommending that its City Council relinguish claim to future property tax from areas C and D. State law requires that jurisdictions agree to the exchange of property tax revenues. * Per Memo from San Jose Planning Director to San Jose Council dated April 13, 1987 2 City Recommendation: 1. Approve the negative declaration. 2. Adopt Resolution GP -87 -002 amending the General Plan. 3. Intrbduce. Ordinance ZC -87 -002., prezoning .the. property. . 4. Adopt Resolution approving the exchange of property taxes. Staff will forward the above resolutions and an application to LAFCO for its consideration on December 2, 1987.

Farrar, own a piece of commerical property at Saratoga and Quito which is proposed to be annexed into Saratoga. Mr. Farrar and I are opposed to the annexation and wish to speak against the proposal. The attached letter to your Planning Commission outlines some of our concerns. However, Mr. Farrar can not make the Council meeting due to his wife's illness, and I will be out of the state on business. We therefore request a continuance of one week to - -ct er-- -2&, 1987. Respect ully yours, -- iC iNSia:� Dane V. Christensen Attachment September 21, 1987 Planning Commissioner City of Saratoga My name is Dane Christensen. Mr. John E. Farrar and I jointly own the property located at Saratoga and Quito which is currently in San Jose and is propsed to be de- annexed from San Jose to Saratoga in a joint land swap.. - The property is currently occupied with a Shell Service Station, Box Car Deli, Radio Shack and Spirit Shop Liquors. - We have owned this land since July 1, 1955. At the request of the City Manager of San Jose, we petitioned San Jose for annexation from the County of Santa Clara. We were then annexed into San Jose by unanimous vote on June 6, 1956. We later.dedicated a portion of our parcel to San Jose on August 8, 1956 for road widening. This, as I understand it, was all done prior to the incorporation of Saratoga which, as we understand, was incorporated on September 23, 1956. - We and our tenants feel the City of San Jose has served us well for these past 31 years, and wish to remain in San Jose. - We are pleased with the San Jose law enforcement depart- ment and do not want Saratoga City services contracted from the Sheriff's office at the far end of Saratoga's boundry. - We and our tenants believe the location and commerical usage is more compatable with the other existing commerical areas in and around our property, such as Westgate Shopping Center, E1 Paseo, Westgate West and Kato Center. - The entire commerical environment in these areas are interrelated and a part of the greater .San Jose sphere of business influence. This business atmosphere serves our present and future needs for the highest and best use of the property. 1 - Saratoga is a prime residential community, however the fringe of the city is not necessarily the best location for a commerical development. - Under our current San Jose City C -1 zoning, we enjoy certain land uses that would be severly restricted in the Saratoga C-N zoning, such as: No drive thru in Saratoga, more stringent height requirements on buildings and lower sign height allowances, different parking standards, as well as other restrictions. There are many uses under C -1 which require a conditional Use Permit under C -N. - We have long range plans for our property which appear to more closely aline themselves with San Jose than Saratoga. It is our considered belief that over the next 10 to 20 years, we would incur severe financial losses if we were in the City of Saratoga as opposed to San Jose. We want to continue to have our property identified with San .Jose.. It is our understanding that on April 23 of this year, the San Jose City Council voted to pursue the changes in the master plan as requested by the City of Saratoga. San Jose Councilwoman Lu Ryden's district is the one that borders Saratoga. The Councilwoman's aide advised us that the Councilwoman voted for the proposed change in boundaries as she did not know of any opposition to the change. We could not voice our opposition to the change as we had no idea that such a change was contem- plated. It is our understanding that the City of Saratoga is responsible as the lead city for all filings, notifications and costs that will be incurred for the proposed changes (including the application to L.A.F.C.0). Since the City of Saratoga or San Jose did not advise us, as property owners, of the proposed change, we were unable to make our opposition known to the City of San Jose. - We intend to voice our opposition to this proposed change to the San Jose Planning Commission and the San Jose City Council. If the reason for the City of Saratoga to annex this property is to "Square Off" its city boundaries - that thinking is inconsistent with the present annexation of Quito Subdivision - Swa.thmore and Brookview North - Prospect Road. Are changes contemplated in the cities master plan to move these residential subdivisions back to other cities? 2 We will actively pursue our interest in this matter and if necessary, will retain legal council to advise us of our rights as we believe this de- annexation will cause us great financial harm in the future.

CALIFORNIA 95070 (408) 867 -3438 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council DATE: 10/29/87 FROM: Yuchuek Hsia, Planning Director SUBJECT: Triangle North Zone Districts Per your request at the City Council Meeting of October 7, 1987, attached please find a comparison of the zoning regulations of the C -N and C -C districts in Saratoga with the C -1 zoning regulations of the City of San Jose. Generally, the differences are as follows: 1. Permitted Uses - the Saratoga's zone district includes most of e permitted uses in the C -1 district of San Jose, with the exception of gasoline stations, community centers, schools and storage garage. The C -C zone lists fewer permitted uses than either the C -N or C -1 zone uses but include mortuaries and theatres which are not allowed in the other zones. 2. Conditional Uses - The C -N or C -C zone lists multi - family dwellings as a conditional use while the C -1 zone in San Jose does not. Hotels and motels, hospitals and nursery schools and bed and breakfast establishments are conditional uses common to all three zones. The C -N and C -C zones in Saratoga require a use permit for gasoline stations and restaurants with outdoor dining; in San Jose, these are permitted uses. The C -1 zone in San Jose requires a conditional use permit to operate a drive - through use such as eating establishments and banks with automatic tellers; in Saratoga, drive - through restaurants are not listed as a conditional or permitted use. Setbacks San Jose's code is generally more restrictive. Height The C -C zone allows 35' height with three stories; San Jose's C -1 zone allows 35' with 2.5 stories. The C -N zone is the most restrictive with 20' maximum height. 1 Memo to Mayor & City Council, 10/29/87 Triangel North Zone Districts Structure Coverage Only one zone, C -N, limits the structure coverage to 60 %. The C -C and C -1 zones have not limit. Parking All three zones are the same. Landscaping The C -N zone is the only zone that specifies minimum landscaping along a street. The C -N and C -C zones require more buffer between the commercial and residential properties than the C -1 zone. Hours of Operation Only San Jose's C -1 limits the hours of operation in the code; a use permit is required to operate after 12:00 midnight. Conclusion In general, Saratoga's C -N zone district is similar zone to San Jose's C -1 regulations. In order to address Mr. Christianson's concern, the commercial regulations would have to be amended to add drive - through uses to the list of conditional uses in the district. With respect to the height differences, the Planning Commission can grant a variance to the height limit or the City can amend the code to raise the height limit beyond 201. k Hsia ng Director c /dsc Attachment 2 Permitted Uses COMPARISON OF ZONING CODE.REQUIREMENTS Saratoga C -N retail, personal services, financial institutions, res- taurants, profes- sional, admin. and medical offices, clinics, religious institutions Condi- gasoline service sta- tional tions, public build - Uses ings and grounds, ho- tels and motels, ani- mal estb., restaurants w /outdoor dining, bed and breakfast estb., multi- family dwell- ings, institutional & community facilities 1 C -C retail, personal ser- vices, retaurants, . mortuaries, theatres financial insti- tutions, profession- al, administrative & medical offices, religious & chari- table institutions, gasoline service stations, public buildings & grounds, hotels /motels, ani- mal estb., restau- rants w /outdoor dining, bed & break- fast estb., multi - family dwellings, instutional and community facili- ties, clincs San Jose C -1 banks, business offices, cater- ing, pressing shops, self-ser- vice dry clean- ing shops, dress making shops (no factory), per- sonal service shops, public eating estab., gasoline service stations, com- munity centers, public and pri- vate schools, private club, storage garages, amusement game devices (19 per establishment) hotels /motels, artist studios, hospitals, medi- cal clinics, swimming, golf & tennis clubs, . churches, ceme- teries, public garages, nursery schools, day care centers, emergency resi- dential shelters bed & breakfast inns, drive - through uses C -N Required setbacks Saratoga C -C San Jose C -1 Front 10 ft. or 0 ft. or 25 ft.* 15 ft. if site is 10 ft. if site is adjacent to or across adjacent to or across the street from resi- from residential or dential or profes- professional office sional office (PA) (PA) district district Side & No side yards or rear yard shall be required, Side* - Rear subject to the following exceptions: interior lots: 0 ft.; (1) On a reversed corner lot abutting a lot in corner an A, R -1, HC -RD or NHR district, the lots: 21.5 ft. minimum exterior side yard shall be not less than one -half of the required front Rear - yard of the abutting lot. interior lots: 25 ft.; corner lots: (2) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 25 ft.

The City Council, at its October 21, 1987, meeting, . agreed to grant your request to continue the hearing on this matter to November 4, 1.987. In discussing your concern over zoning, the members of the Council seemed to be sympathetic to your position and appeared to be willing to seek ways to work to revise the zoning to bring it more into line with San Jose'.s. Staff was directed to prepare a report comparing the C -1 zone in.San Jose with the C -N zone and C -C zone in Saratoga to see what changes would have to be made and which zone it might be best to modify. We also asked the City Manager to meet with you prior to November 4, 1987, to attempt to reconcile your concerns. Sincerel Don Peterson Mayor jm 0919W o2 O&MEU(MOZ 13777 FRUITVALE AVENUE • SARATOGA.

First Street, Rm. 436 San Jose, CA 95110 Subject: Exchange of Territory between San Jose and Saratoga Dear Les:- COUNCIL MEMBERS: Karen Anderson Martha Clevenger Joyce Hlava David Moyles Donald Peterson As previously agreed, Saratoga has commenced proceedings to accomplish the boudary adjustment between the two cities in the vicinity of Saratoga Avenue and Lawrence Expressway. This involves the necessary general plan amendment and pre- zoning actions being completed before LAFCO will accept an application for municipal reorganization and set the matter for consideration. We -have now been informed by our planning staff that the San Jose Planning Commission held a hearing on this matter on October 14, 1987, and have recommended that the San Jose City Council defer a decision on this matter until some time in 1988. The stated reason was that the owners of a portion of the property to be annexed to Saraoga were opDOsed to such action because of Saratoga's more stringent development regulations. This property owner's objections are known to us (he is a resident of Saratoga), and the City Council.has indicated a general willingness to try to work things out with him. However, If San Jose doesn't proceed with its actions relative to the portion of the annexation presently part of Saratoga, we will be unable to file the application with LAFCO. There must be some way you can proceed, just as we are doing, without having to make an irrevokable commitment on the part of San Jose until the hearing is held before LAFCO. Please advise and let me know San Jose's intentions as soon as possible.

Peacock City Manager City of Saratoga 1.3777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, California 95070 Dear Harry: Your letter of October 23, 1987 and questions regarding the exchange San Jose: and Saratoga in the vicinity Lawrence Expressway. raises several concerns of territory between of Saratoga Avenue and This proposal has been proceeding through the City's Annual General Plan Review process. It is my understanding that the owner of the property proposed to be transferred to Saratoga is objecting to the proposal based upon their concern that development standards in Saratoga are more restrictive than in San Jose. In addition, Councilmember Lu Ryden, who represents this area, has expressed concerns about this exchange moving forward, as there are objections from the affected property owners. Given this situation, the Planning Director recommended that the matter be deferred until such time that the City of Saratoga could satisfy the apprehensions on the part of the San Jose property owner. As-a result of,that recommendation, the City Planning Commission, on October 14, did in fact recommend that this matter be deferred until next year's Annual Review, which will take place in the Fall of 1988. I would suggest that if the City of Saratoga is desirous of this matter moving forward prior to the Fall of 1988, that you discuss with the concerned property owner an appropriate resolution to his concerns. If that occurs prior to November 19, the scheduled City Council public hearing on this matter, it may still be possible for the City Council to move forward with this proposal this year. If you should have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact either me or Gary Schoennauer, Director of Planning. Sin de,^Wh'i to ssistant City Manager I SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. MEETING DATE: 10/21/87 ORIGINATING' DEPT.: City Attorney AGENDA ITEM 9ZE7� CITY MGR. APPROVAL SUBJECT: Adoption of Model Floodplal.n Management Ordinance. Recommended Motion: Introduction and adoption of proposed ordinance.. Report Summary: The City of Saratoga has long participated i.n the National Flood Insurance Program, which allows the owners of properties located within areas. of potential flooding to obtain flood in- surance through the federal government. During the fall of last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) adopted new regulations which thereafter were incorporated into a Model Floodpia -in,; Management Ordinance prepared by the California Department of Water Resources. All jurisdictions participating in the National Flood Insurance Program were requested by the Department to adopt a local ordinance consistent with the model form. On July 13, 1987, a proposed -ordinance was furnished to the Departme.nt of Water Resources by the City Attorney for review and approval. The proposed draft basically followed the model form, but with various re- visions to reflect the particular cir- cumstances of Saratoga. The proposed draft was approved by the Department on September 22, 1987 and should now be adopted by the City Council. A copy of the adopted ordinance will then be fur- nished to both the Department of Water Resources and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Fiscal Impacts: None. Attachments: (A) Proposed Ordinance; (B) City Attorney transmittal letter to Department of Water Resources dated July 13, 19'87. Motion and Vote: Staff recomTendation 5-0.. 1 ORDINANCE NO. 71. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA ADDING ARTICLE 16-66 TO CHAPTER 16 OF THE CITY CODE PERTAINING TO FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION The City Council of the City of Saratoga hereby ordains as follows: SECTION 1: A new Article 16 -66, entitled "Flood Damage Prevention," is hereby added to Chapter 16 of the City Code, to read as follows: "ARTICLE 16-66 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION Sections: 16- 66.010 Findings of fact 16- 66.020 Statement of purpose and methods 16- 66.030 Definitions 16- 66.040 General provisions 16- 66.050 Requirement for floodplain permit 16- 66.060 Designation of Floodplain Administrator 16- 66.070 Duties and responsibilities of Floodplain Administrator 16- 66.080 Standards of construction 16- 66.090 Standards for utilities 16- 66.100 Standards for subdivisions and building sites 16- 66.110 Floodways 16- 66.120 Variance procedure 16- 66.130 Conditions for variances X16- 66.010 Findings of fact The flood hazard areas of the City are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures of flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. -1- 516 -66.020 Statement of purpose and methods (a) Statement of purpose. It is the purpose of this Article to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed: (1) To protect human life and health; (2) To minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; (3) To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; (4) To minimize prolonged business interruptions; (5) To minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard; (6) To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the second use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas; (7) To insure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and (8) To insure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. (b) Methods of reducing flood losses. In order to accomplish its purposes, this Article includes methods and provisions for: (1) Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities; (2) Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction; (3) Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters; (4) Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and, (5) Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas. -2- X16- 66.030 Definitions (a) Unless specifically defined in Paragraph (b) of this Section, words or phrases used in this Article shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this Article its most reasonable application.

(2) Area of shallow flooding means a designated AO or AH Zone on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The base flood depths range from one to three feet; a clearly defined channel does not exist; the path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate; and velocity flow may be evident. (3) Base flood means the flood having a one percent chance of being equalled or exceeded in any given year (also called the 11100 -year flood "). (4) Basement means any area of the building having its floor subgrade (below ground level) on all sides. (5) Breakaway walls are any type of walls, whether solid or lattice, and whether constructed of concrete, masonry, wood, metal, plastic or any other suitable building material, which are not part of the structural support of the building, and which are designed to break away under abnormally high tides or wave action without causing any damage to the structural integrity of the building on which they are used or any buildings to which they might be carried by flood waters. A breakaway wall shall have a safe design loading resistance of not less than ten and not more than twenty pounds per square foot. Use of breakaway walls must be certified by a registered engineer or architect and shall meet the following conditions: (i) Breakaway wall collapse shall result from a water load less than that which would occur during the base flood; and (ii) The elevated portion of the building shall not incur any structural damage due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously in the event of the base flood. (6) Development means any man -made change to improved or unimproved real property, including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations. (7) Flood or flooding means a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from (1) the overflow of flood waters, (2) the unusual and rapid -3- accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source, and /or (3) the collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or other body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels or suddenly caused by an unusually high water level in a natural body of water, accompanied by a severe storm, or by an unanticipated force of nature, such as flash flood, or by some similarly unusual and unforeseeable event which results in flooding as defined in this Paragraph. (8) Flood Boundary and Floodway Map means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of flood hazard and the floodway. (9) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) means the official map on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency or Federal Insurance Administration has delineated both the areas of special flood hazards and the risk premium zones applicable to the community. (10) Flood Insurance Study means the official report provided by the Federal Insurance Administration that includes flood profiles, the FIRM, the Flood Boundary and Floodway Map, and the water surface elevation of the base flood. (11) Floodplain or flood -prone area means any land area susceptible to being inundated by water from any source (see definition of "flooding "). (12) Floodplain management means the operation of an overall program of corrective and preventive measures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited to emergency preparedness plans, flood control works and floodplain management regulations. (13) Floodplain management regulations means zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, special purpose ordinances (such as floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance and erosion control ordinance) and other applications of police power. The term describes such state or local regulations in any combination thereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damage'prevention and reduction. (14) Floodproofing means any combination of structural and nonstructural additions, changes, or adjustments to structures which reduce or eliminate flood damage to real property or improved real property, water and sanitary facilities, structures and their contents. (15) Floodway means the channel of a river or other watercourse and the adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than one foot. Also referred to as "regulatory floodway". Me (16) Functionally dependent use means a use which cannot perform its intended purpose unless it is located or carried out in close proximity to water. The term includes only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of cargo or passengers, and ship building and ship repair facilities, but does not include long -term storage or related manufacturing facilities. (17) Highest adjacent grade means the highest natural elevation of the ground surface prior to construction next to the proposed walls of a structure. (18) Lowest floor means the lowest floor of the lowest enclosed area (including basement). An unfinished or flood resistant enclosure, usable solely for parking of vehicles, building access or storage in an area other than a basement area is not considered a building's lowest floor; provided, that such enclosure is not built so as to render the structure in violation of the applicable non - elevation design requirements of this Article. (19) Mean sea level means, for purposes of the National Flood Insurance Program, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929 or other datum, to which base flood elevations shown on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map are referenced. (20) New construction means, for floodplain management purposes, structures for which the "start of construction" commenced on or after the effective date of a floodplain management regulation adopted by the City.

(23) Remedy a violation means to bring the structure or other development into compliance with State or local floodplain management regulations, or, if this is not possible, to reduce the impacts of its noncompliance. Ways that impacts may be reduced include protecting the structure or other affected development from flood damages, implementing the enforcement provisions of the ordinance or otherwise deterring future similar violations, or reducing Federal financial exposure with regard to the structure or other development. (24) Riverine means relating to, formed by, or resembling a river (including tributaries), stream, brook, or creek. (25) Special flood hazard area (SFHA) means an area having special flood or flood - related erosion hazards, and shown on an FHBM or FIRM as Zone A, AO, Al -30, AE, A99 or AH. -5- (26) Start of construction includes substantial improvement, and means the date the building permit was issued, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, placement, or other improvement was within 180 days of the permit date. The actual start means either the first placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation of piles, the construction of columns, or any work beyond the stage of excavation. Permanent construction does not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading and filling; nor does it include the installation of streets or walkways; nor does it include excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations or the erection of temporary forms; nor does it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings, such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main structure. (27) Structure means a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground. (28) Substantial improvement means any repair, reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure either: (i) before the improvement or repair is started; or (ii) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the purpose of this definition, "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include either: (i) any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing State or City health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions; or (ii) any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or a State Inventory of Historic Places. (29) Variance means a grant of relief from the requirements of this Article which permits construction in a manner that would otherwise be prohibited by this Article. (30) Violation means the failure of a structure. or other development to be fully compliant with the community's floodplain management regulations. A structure or other development without the elevation certificate, other certifications, or other evidence of compliance required in this Article is presumed to be in violation until such time as that documentation is provided. -6- X16- 66.040 General provisions (a) Lands to which this Article applies. This Article shall apply to all areas of special flood hazards within the City. (b) Basis for establishing areas of special flood hazard. The areas of special flood hazard identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration in a scientific and engineering report entitled "Flood Insurance Study for the City of Saratoga, California," dated July, 1978, with an accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Map is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this Article. The Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map are on file in the office of the City Engineer. The areas described or shown in the Flood Insurance Study and Flood Insurance Rate Map are the minimum areas of applicability of this Article and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this Article and which are recommended to the City Council by the Floodplain Administrator. (c) Compliance. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this Article and other applicable regulations. Violations of the provisions of this Article by failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall prevent the City Council from taking such lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. (d) Abrogation and greater restrictions. This Article is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this Article and another ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or overlap, whichever imposes the more stringent restrictions shall prevail. (e) Interpretation. In the interpretation and application of this Article, all provisions shall be: (1) Considered as minimum requirements; (2) Liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and, (3) Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under State statutes. (f) Warnings and disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection required by this Article is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes and is based on scientific and engineering considerations. Larger floods can and will occur on rare occasions. Flood heights may be increased by man -made or natural causes. This Article does not imply that land outside the areas of special flood hazards or uses permitted within such areas will be free from flooding or flood damages. This Article shall not create liability on the part of the City or any officer, official, or employee thereof, or the Federal Insurance Administration, for any flood damages that result from reliance on this Article or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder. -7- (g) Severability. This Article and the various parts thereof are hereby declared to be severable. Should any section of this Article be declared by the courts to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the Article as a whole, or any portion thereof other than the section so declared to be unconstitutional or invalid. X16- 66.050 Requirement for floodplain permit (a) Requirement for permit. A floodplain permit shall be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazards established in Subsection 16- 66.040(b). The floodplain permit may be issued separately by the Floodplain Administrator or may be incorporated into and issued by the Planning Commission as part of a subdivision or building site approval granted pursuant to Chapter 14 of this Code or a use permit, variance, or design review approval granted pursuant to Chapter 15 of this Code. (b) Application for permit. Application for a floodplain permit shall be made to the Floodplain Administrator on such form as he shall prescribe. The application shall be accompanied by a processing fee in such amount as established from time to time by resolution of the City Council. The application shall include the following: (1) A site plan drawn to scale, showing the nature, location and dimensions of the site, the contours of the site at intervals of not more than five feet, and the location of existing or proposed structures, fill, and drainage facilities. (2) Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level, of the lowest floor (including basement) of all structures; in Zone AO, elevation of highest adjacent grade and proposed elevation of lowest floor of all structures. (3) Proposed elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any structure will be floodproofed. (4) All appropriate certifications listed in Subsection 16- 66.070(d) of this Article. (5) Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of the proposed development. (6) Such additional exhibits or information as may be requested by the Floodplain Administrator. S16- 66.060 Designation of Floodplain Administrator The Planning Director is hereby appointed as the Floodplain Administrator, with full power and authority to administer and implement the provisions of this Article. so X16- 66.070 Duties and responsibilities of Floodplain Administrator The duties and responsibilities of the Floodplain Administrator shall include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) Permit review. Review all development proposals to determine that: (1) The permit requirements of this Article have been satisfied; (2) All other required State and federal permits have been obtained; (3) The site is reasonably safe from flooding; (4) The proposed development does not adversely affect the carrying capacity of the floodway. For purposes of this Article, "adversely affects" means that the cumulative effect of the proposed development when combined with all other existing and anticipated development will not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one foot at any point. (b) Use of other base flood data. When base flood elevation data has not been provided in accordance with Subsection 16- 66.040(b), the Floodplain Administrator shall obtain, review and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a federal, State or other source, in order to administer the standards set forth in Sections 16- 66.080, 16- 66.090, 16- 66.100 and 16- 66.110 of this Article. Any such information shall be submitted to the City Council for adoption. (c) Alteration or relocation of watercourses.

All new construction and substantial improvements shall be anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the structure resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy. (b) Construction materials and methods. (1) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with materials and utility equipment resistant to flood damage. (2) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed using methods and practices that minimize flood damage. (3) All new construction and substantial improvements shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. -10- (4) Within Zones AH or AO, adequate drainage paths shall be constructed around structures on slopes to guide flood waters around and away from proposed structures. (c) Elevation and floodproofing. (1) New construction and substantial improvement of any structure shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated to or above the base flood elevation. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in Subparagraph (c)(3) of this Section. Upon the completion of the structure the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the City's building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. (2) New construction and substantial improvement of any structure in Zone AH or AO shall have the lowest floor, including basement, elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the FIRM, or at least two feet if no depth number is specified. Nonresidential structures may meet the standards in Subparagraph (c)(3) of this Section. Upon the completion of the structure the elevation of the lowest floor including basement shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor, or verified by the City's building inspector to be properly elevated. Such certification or verification shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. (3) Nonresidential construction shall either be elevated in conformance with Subparagraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this Section or together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities: (i) Be floodproofed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water; (ii) Have structural components capable of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy; and (iii) Be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect that the standards of this subsection are satisfied. Such certifications shall be provided to the Floodplain Administrator. (4) Require, for all new construction and substantial improvements, that fully enclosed areas below the lowest floor that are subject to flooding shall be designed to automatically equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls by allowing for the entry and exit of floodwaters. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a registered professional engineer or architect or meet or exceed either of the following minimum criteria: -11- (i) A minimum of two openings having a total net area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area subject to flooding shall be provided. The bottom of all openings shall be no higher than one foot above grade. Openings may be equipped with screens, louvers, valves or other coverings or devices provided that they permit the automatic entry and exit of floodwaters; or (ii) Be certified to comply with a local floodproofing standard approved by the Federal Insurance Administration. X16- 66.090 Standards for utilities (a) All new and replacement water supply and sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharge from systems into flood waters. (b) On -site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. X16- 66.100 Standards for subdivisions and building sites (a) All applications for tentative subdivision or tentative building site approval shall identify the flood hazard area and the elevation of the base flood. (b) All final subdivision or building site plans shall indicate the elevation of proposed structures and pads. If the site is filled above the base flood, the final pad elevation shall be certified by a registered professional engineer or surveyor and provided to the Floodplain Administrator. (c) All subdivision and building site proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage. (d) All subdivision and building site proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage. (e) All subdivisions and building sites shall provide adequate drainage to reduce exposure to flood hazards. X16- 66.110 Floodways Located within areas of special flood hazard established in Subsection 16- 66.040(b) are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projectiles, and erosion potential, the following provisions apply: (a) Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements, and other development unless certification by a registered professional engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that encroachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. -12- (b) If the requirements in Paragraph (a) of this Section are satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions set forth in Sections 16- 66.080, 16- 66.090 and 16- 66.100 of this Article. 516- 66.120 Variance procedures (a) The Planning Commission shall hear and decide requests for variances from the requirements of this Article. (b) In making its decision on a variance application (or on an appeal to the Planning Commission taken pursuant to Subsection 16- 66.070(g) of this Article), the Planning Commission shall consider all technical evaluations, and all relevant factors and standards specified in this Article, and shall also be guided by the following considerations: (1) The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; (2) The danger of life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (3) The susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (4) The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; (5) The availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which .are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; (6) The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; (7) The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and floodplain management program for that area; (8) The safety of access to the property in time of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; (9) The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise, and sediment transport of the flood waters expected at the site; and (10) The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, and streets and bridges. (c) Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one -half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base flood level, providing the items listed in Paragraph (b) of this Section have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one -half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases. -13- (d) The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain the records of all actions by the Planning Commission under this Article and report any variances to the Federal Insurance Administration upon request. X16- 66.130 Conditions for variances (a) The Planning Commission may impose such conditions upon the granting of a variance as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this Article and to make the determinations set forth in Paragraph (b) of this Section. (b) Variances shall only be issued upon a showing of good and sufficient cause and upon a determination by the Planning Commission that: (1) Failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant. (2) The variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. (3) The granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing ordinances of the City. (c) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result. (d) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places without regard to the procedures set forth in this Section. (e) Variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements and for other development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of this Section are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damages during the base flood and create no additional threats to public safety. (f) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the regulatory flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. The applicant shall also be required to execute an indemnity agreement to hold the City harmless from any claim, cause of action, liability, cost, expense or damage arising from or in any manner relating to the granting of the variance. A copy of the notice and the original indemnity agreement shall be recorded by the Floodplain Administrator in the office of the County Recorder and shall be recorded in a manner so that they appear in the chain of title of the affected parcel of land." -14- SECTION 2: This Ordinance supersedes all prior ordinances and resolutions adopted by the City pertaining to the participation by the City in the National Flood Insurance Program, including specifically, Resolution No. 677, adopted on September 19, 1973, Resolution No. 677 -1, adopted on May 1, 1974, and Resolution No. 677 -2, adopted on December 20, 1978. SECTION 3: This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty days after its passage and adoption. The above and foregoing Ordinance was regularly introduced and after the waiting time required by law, was thereafter passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the day of , 1987, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: ATTEST: CITY CLERK -15- MAYOR PAUL B.

FARASYN, 0915 -19791 RE: Adoption of Model Floodplain Management Ordinance by the City of Saratoga Dear Mr. Serr: Enclosed herewith is a proposed draft of a floodplain management ordinance to be adopted by -the City of Saratoga, together with a completed ordinance review form. We have basically followed the model ordinance furnished by your department, with some revision as hereinafter described. In order to facilitate your review, I am enclosing an extra copy of the ordinance with handwritten notations indicating additions, deletions or revisions to the model form. The changes we have made are as follows: 1. In accordance, with the notes which accompanied the model ordinance, all of the provisions contained therein relating to areas of special flood - related erosion hazard, areas of mudslide and coastal high hazard areas have been deleted, since none of these areas is shown on the FIRM map prepared for the City of Saratoga. 2. All references to a "development permit" have been changed to It permit" in. order to avoid confusion with other forms 'of permits issued by the City for development of real property. 3. The process for issuance of a, floodplain permit has been revised to give concurrent jurisdiction to the .Saratoga Planning Commission, where that Commission is already acting upon a subdivision or building site proposal or a use permit, variance or design review application. In these cases, the floodplain permit would be issued by the Commission as part of its action on the development proposal, and the Commission would be required to make the determinations set forth in Subsection 16- 66.070(a) of the ordinance. Where a floodplain permit is issued by the floodplain administrator, all decisions and determinations by the administrator are appealable to the Planning Commission (in accordance with the appeal procedures set forth in the Saratoga zoning ordinance) and any variance from the floodplain regulations must be granted by the Planning Commission. _- - - - -- -'Mr. Gene -S-err - - July -13, 1987. 4. All references to manufactured homes have been deleted, since there are no mobile home parks located within the City of Saratoga. If a property owner desired to install a manufactured home upon a single site, the City would apply the same construction standards as would be applied to any other single - family dwelling. This approach would automatically address the standards contained in Section 5.4 of the model ordinance. The requirements that the home be elevated so that the lowest floor is at or above the base flood elevation and that the home be securely anchored to a permanent foundation would be imposed under Subsections 16- 66.080(a) and 16- 66.080(c)(1) of the Saratoga ordinance. Similarly, the requirement that all manufactured homes shall be installed using methods and practices which minimize. flood damage would be imposed under Subsection 16- 66.080(b)(2) of the Saratoga ordinance. 5. The City of Saratoga has customarily required an indemnification agreement whenever any construction is allowed within a floodplain area. A provision to this effect has been included in the ordinance. Upon your advice that the draft ordinance is satisfactory as to form and substance, we will present the same to the:Saratoga City Council for adoption. e tr y yours Harold S.

T would like suggestions as to where the box should be placed to minimize any potential hazards: I feel that a collection box needs to be placed at -this location for the convience of the citizens of our community. At present there are two collection bones in the alley by. the Village Station, but since vae have moved the Main Office from that location and limited the exit from the alley to only a right hand turn, it'has made it necessary for people to walk across Saratoga Avenue to mail their letters.

We have a great deal of difficulty due to post office patrons using our parking lot. The lot is posted, "Tenant Parking Only ", but this is ignored. I have requested that the Post .Master put a sign in the post office asking that post office patrons do not park here. Also, it would be helpful if drive -up boxes could be placed on Sara- toga Avenue and diagonal parking stipes could be painted there. Persons wishing to go to the post office then would not be obliged to park here and go across the street. It has been my observation that limited parking is usually - available in front of,post "office buildings. Why not here? The present situation not only creates an annoyance to those of us who rent space in this building and are entitled to park here, but is actually a hazard. I have seen mothers with babies in their arms and leading a child by the hand jay- walking to get to the post office! Your attention to this matter would be appreciated.

APPROVAL (0 �> SUBJECT: Agreement with Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council Concerning Use of Senior Center Addition. Recommended Motion: Approval of revised Agreement SASCC. Report Summary: On July 15, 1987, the City Council approved a proposed draft of an Agreement between the City and the Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council concerning use of the Senior Center and the financial contribution to be made by SASCC toward the cost of constructing the new addition. The form of Agreement was acceptable to SASCC, except for the provision relating to indemnification of the City against any liability claims arising from the use and operation of the Senior Center by SASCC. Under State law, the officers and directors of SASCC do not enjoy absolute immunity from liability claims (although their extent of immunity has now been increased by recent legislation adopted as part of the Tort Reform package which the Governor has signed into law). The directors of SASCC, particularly Dick Drake, are concerned over the possibility of a liability claim which exceeds the extent of insurance coverage, and therefore may present some personal exposure. SASCC has therefore requested that the obligation to indemnify be limited to the extent of available insurance proceeds so that the personal assets of its officers and directors would not be placed at risk. Paragrapr$3 of the Agreement has been modified to include such limitation. SASCC has also encountered some difficulty in obtaining the exact form of endorsement to its liability insurance policy as originally requested by the City (as based upon a form suggested by ABAG). Paragraph 4 of the Agreement has therefore been changed to provide that the endorsement must be in form and substance satisfactory to the City. Fiscal Impacts: None. Attachments: Revised Agreement.

For several months our Officers and Directors have been wrestling with the proposed contract between the City and SASCC for operation of the Senior Center. The one unresolved issue remains the indemnification requirement in Paragraph B -3. As presently stated it appears to pose too great a personal risk for SASCC and its Officers and Directors. After consulting with our own insurance carriers and City Attorney, Hal Toppel, we have agreed that indemnification would be acceptable if it were limited to the extent of our insurance coverage. In addition to the liability insurance we already carry, we are presently seeking additional coverage for the Officers and Directors of the Corporation. Enclosed is a copy of our additional insured endorsement from National Union Fire Company. We sincerely hope this modification of Item B -3 will meet with your approval and be acceptable to the City Council and we can proceed to execute our proposed contract. Thank you for your patience in granting us the time to resolve our differences to everyone's satisfaction.
