PUBLIC HEARING 10. Report regarding an ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code revising the method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Park Construction Fee for new development projects, and revising the timing for calculation of Fees (Sharon Ranals, Director of Parks and Recreation) REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 3 Public Hearing Opened: 7:13 p.m. Director of Parks and Recreation Ranals presented the report and stated in recognition of the fact that parks and recreational facilities are vital to the health and welfare of a community, the State of California passed two pieces of legislation authorizing cities to adopt fees applicable to development projects to offset the impact of new development and provide sufficient levels of parks and recreational facilities to serve residents and employees working within the City. Under the Quimby Act, South San Francisco enacted Chapter 19.24 of the Municipal Code, which applies to residential subdivision projects. Fees collected under this Ordinance may be used for the purpose of developing new or rehabilitating existing neighborhood or Community Park or recreational facilities. The Mitigation Fee Act, which was passed in 1987, broadened the authority of cities to collect a variety of development impact fees, including park fees. Under the Mitigation Fee Act, the City adopted Chapter 8.67 of the Municipal Code in 2016, amended in 2017 and 2018, adopting a Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Park Construction Fee. Chapter 8.67 applies to all development projects, both residential and commercial, that are not subject to fees under the Quimby Act. Chapter 8.67 is the subject of this report and Ordinance amendment. Note that development projects subject to the Quimby Act also pay Park Construction Fees pursuant to Chapter 8.67 because Quimby Act fees only account for the cost of acquiring new parkland, not constructing improvements on that land. Guiding Policy 5.1-G.1 of the South San Francisco General Plan provides that the City should "[d]evelop additional parkland in the city, particularly in areas lacking these facilities, to meet the standards of required park acreage for new residents and employees." Policy 5.1-1-2 provides that the City should "[m]aintain parkland standards of 3.0 acres of community and neighborhood parks per 1,000 new residents, and 0.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 new employees." Goal #1 of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides that the City "should provide a minimum of 3 acres of developed park land per 1,000 residents and 0.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 new employees." The Master Plan states that new development projects attract new residents and new employees to the city, which generates increased demand for parks and recreational facilities and impacts existing park service levels. In 2016 the City contracted with the Municipal Resources Group (MRG) to analyze the relationship between new development in the City and the cost of public facilities to serve that growth, and determined that there is a reasonable nexus between the Parkland Acquisition Fee and Park Construction Fee and the types of new development that are responsible for paying the fee (Park Land Acquisition and Park Construction Fees Report 2016, hereafter "2016 Study"). In 2016, the City adopted Ordinance 8.67 imposing a Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Park Construction Fee ("Park Fee Ordinance") to pay for the cost of acquiring and constructing park facilities needed to support new development under the authority of the Mitigation Fee Act. The City subsequently amended the Park Fee Ordinance in 2017 and 2018 to impose fees on non- residential development projects and to adjust the discount factors applied to the fees, as well as other refinements. The existing Ordinance provides formulas for calculating and collecting park fees in two separate categories: the Park Acquisition Fee and the Park Construction Fee. The Park Acquisition Fee calculates the cost of acquiring new parkland and the Park Construction Fee calculates the cost of constructing improvements on said land. In determining the fee applicable to a particular development project, both fee calculations account for the number of employees or residents that a particular development project is expected to generate in light of the number of residential units or REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 4 square footage of commercial space. These formulas set the maximum amount of fees that the City may charge, with City Council having the authority to set the fees lower. South San Francisco has elected to discount the maximum fees, with construction and acquisition fees discounted by 30%, and commercial fees discounted by 75%. During the past year, it became apparent that the way the formulas were being calculated, park fees for land acquisition were being generated at a higher rate than Park Construction Fees. However, given the scarcity of land appropriate for parkland in South San Francisco, staff determined that improvement and expansion of certain existing land and facilities, which are reaching capacity, is a cost-effective and efficient way to serve future residents and employees, and to maintain existing levels of service. The City commissioned an additional park fee analysis to supplement the 2016 Study. The purpose of updated study is to confirm the method for utilizing park fees for refurbishment and expansion projects; analyze the types of refurbishment and expansion projects for which the City can utilize park fees; restructure the existing park fee reduction factors to increase Park Construction Fees to fund refurbishment projects, and reduce Park Acquisition Fees commensurately, while not increasing the total amount of park fees; and to update the average construction cost per acre to reflect current market conditions ("2019 Supplemental Report"). The 2019 Supplemental Report calculated how to adjust the discount rates to maximize Park Construction fees, and adjust Parkland Acquisition fees commensurately, keeping the total fee to be paid by developers the same. This result was accomplished by updating the average construction park construction cost per acre; changing the current discount for Parkland Acquisition fees from 30% to 90.4%; and changing the current discount for Park Construction fees from 30% to zero, i.e. set the Park Construction Fee at the maximum justified amount. Again, note that adoption of the proposed fees outlined below do not result an increase in the current total park fees. Adopting the proposed fees would simply readjust the fee revenue generated by each fee with Park Construction Fee revenue increasing and Park Acquisition Fee revenue decreasing commensurately. She noted that the amendment was not subject to CEQA or any fiscal impact. Public Hearing Closed: 7:21 p.m. Mayor Matsumoto requested clarification of the fees and payment. In response to Mayor Matsumoto, Director of Parks and Recreation Ranals stated that fees are paid when applications are submitted. City Attorney Rosenberg recommended the ordinance be updated because the previous ordinance allowed projects to pay fees when the application was deemed complete. Mayor Matsumoto voiced her concern that, due to the condition of parks around the city projects should not be delayed further. City Attorney Rosenberg stated the fee will be paid upon submittal of the development application as a development impact fee and not a community benefit, and would be charged according to the fee structure. Councilmember Addiego inquired about when the fee collection process. City Attorney Rosenberg indicated that the fee would be collected at receipt of the certificate of occupancy. Mayor Matsumoto requested clarification regarding project discount. In response to Mayor Matsumoto, City Attorney Rosenberg stated the City completed a fee study analysis and presented it to Council whereupon Council decided to provide a discounted rate to the full amount the City could charge. City Manager Futrell stated the City agreed upon the amount based on the fee study analysis and other City rates. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 5 Councilmember Addiego inquired about future comprehensive fee studies. In response to Councilmember Addiego, City Manager Futrell stated that another fee study would be conducted by June 2020 and the results would be brought back to Council. Vice Mayor Garbarino inquired about the fees collected for residential home addition projects and the use of those fees for refurbishing and repair projects. In response to Vice Mayor Garbarino, City Attorney Rosenberg stated that the acquisition fee could not be used for refurbishment and repairs however; the construction fee could be used. 10a. Ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code revising the method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Park Construction Fee for new development projects, and revising the timing for calculation of the fees Motion — Vice Mayor Garbarino/Second —Councilmember Nicolas: To waive reading and introduce an ordinance amending Chapter 8.67 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code revising the method of calculation for the Parkland Acquisition Fee and a Park Construction Fee for new development projects, and revising the timing for calculation of the fees. Unanimously approved by roll call vote. ADMINISTRATIVE BUSINESS 11. Report regarding adoption Resolution No. 82-2019 adjusting the cannabis business license tax rate set forth in Section 6.16.037 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, consistent with the authority granted by the voter approved Ordinance No. 1556. (Christina Crosby, Interim Director of Finance) Interim Director of Finance, Crosby presented a staff report providing an overview of the cannabis business license tax rate and introduced consultant, Andrea Amaraji. Andrea Amaraji, Cohere Insights, provided an analysis and recommendation based on market trends. She indicated that on November 7, 2018, a majority of the City's voters approved Ordinance No. 1556 imposing an excise tax on the privilege of conducting business within the City, pursuant to Article XIIIC, section 2(b) of the California Constitution. Revenues from the cannabis business tax will be for unrestricted general revenue purposes, will go into the City's general fund, and can be used for any legitimate government purpose. She presented a summary of current rates by type of cannabis operation: The ordinance adopted Section 6.16.037 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code which established a minimum rate of one percent (1%) of gross receipts for all commercial cannabis REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 6 City's Current Rate Consultant's Recommended Rate Maximum Rate under Ordinance No. 1556 Testing 1% 1 % 2.5% Cultivation 1% 2% 4% Distribution 1% 2% 3% Manufacturing 1% 3% 5% Delivery -Only 1% 4% 5% All Other Operations 1% 4% 5% The ordinance adopted Section 6.16.037 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code which established a minimum rate of one percent (1%) of gross receipts for all commercial cannabis REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 6 operations with varying maximum rates of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of gross receipts for testing, three percent (3%) of gross receipts for distribution, four percent (4%) of gross receipts for cultivation, and five percent (5%) of gross receipts for manufacturing, delivery -only, and all other commercial cannabis operations. Section 6.16.037 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code further authorizes City Council to adjust by resolution or ordinance the cannabis business license tax rates within the voter approved authorized rates. In a study dated May 17, 2019, the City's consultant Cohere Insights LLC recommended varying minimum rates of one percent (1%) of gross receipts for testing, two percent (2%) of gross receipts for cultivation and distribution, three percent (3%) of gross receipts for manufacturing, and four percent (4%) of gross receipts for delivery -only and all other commercial cannabis operations. The City's consultant clarified that charging a uniform rate for all commercial cannabis operations would restrict the industry in the City because there are different profit margins and levels of competition for each type of commercial cannabis operation. As of March 7, 2019, the Planning Commission has approved a conditional use permit for three commercial cannabis operations: two delivery -only operations (Make Your Mark SSF; The Loaded Bowl LLC) and one distribution operation (Green Light Distribution, LLC). None of the businesses are currently in operation but are in the process of obtaining state licenses. If the proposed resolution is adopted by City Council, the two approved delivery -only operations will be subject to a cannabis business license tax rate adjustment from one percent (1%) of gross receipts to four percent (4%) of gross receipts. Similarly, the one approved distribution operation will be subject to a cannabis business license tax rate adjustment from one percent (1%) of gross receipts to two percent (2%) of gross receipts. She noted tax revenue, challenges for the State, illegal markets, and lack of historical data. She noted other considerations including double taxation, deferred taxes, and later raising rates. She noted tax revenue factors and provided an overview of the tax strategy. Councilmember Addiego inquired about the State excise tax of 15% and requested clarification on double taxation. Ms. Amaraji stated the tax was 15% and the State was not considering a reduction in the near future. She provided clarification on double taxation and noted that delivery services obtain license from the City in which they operate. Vice Mayor Garbarino voiced his concern with imposing taxes. He voiced his support for legalizing the industry and reducing illegal market activity. Councilmember Nagales inquired about the five categories of taxes and voiced his concern with the illegal market and youth usage. City Manager Futrell stated South San Francisco was the only city to have five licensing categories. Ms. Amaraji stated the rate of youth usage increased in other states with legal cannabis but was unable to confirm a correlation. Councilmember Nagales expressed his concern with over taxing and indicated support for a lower initial tax rate; reassess in two to three years. Vice Mayor Garbarino voiced his support for a lower tax rate and future reevaluation. Mayor Matsumoto discussed unrestricted revenues and requested accountability for cash businesses. City Attorney Rosenberg explained that the ordinance required report submittals and City audits. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 26, 2019 MINUTES PAGE 7 Councilmember Addiego voiced his support for a 1% increase and inquired about the limit of licenses the City would issue. City Manager Futrell stated that there was no limit on licenses and the City could end up with a larger amount then anticipated and this would stabilize later. Councilmember Addiego inquired about the taxes paid by medicinal cannabis providers. Ms. Amaraji stated that medicinal providers paid excise and local tax. Councilmember Nagales stated that he supported reducing all categories of taxes except on delivery, which he suggested being set at 3% to provide the City with revenue. Interim Finance Director Crosby clarified that there were three cannabis delivery applications on file; two approved for conditional use permits and one pending. Councilmember Addiego requested clarification on the manufacturing process. Ms. Amaraji explained the four manufacturing processes including extraction using a solvent and chemical method, infusions, and packaging and labeling. She discussed branding and the opportunity for manufacturers to demand a higher price. Councilmember Nicolas inquired about the tax rate recommendations. Ms. Amaraji stated her recommendations were based on a one to two-year period. Councilmember Nagales stated he felt comfortable leaving the tax rates for indoor cultivation, testing, and distribution the same and increasing delivery and manufacturing. Ms. Amaraji stated all operations included things that were not allowed, such as retail storefronts, and suggested keeping that the same as the delivery tax. City Attorney Rosenberg clarified the tax rates for all five license categories: One percent (1%) of gross receipts for cannabis testing operations; Two percent (2%) of gross receipts for cannabis cultivation and distribution operations; Three percent (3%) of gross receipts for cannabis manufacturing operations; and four percent (3%) of gross receipts for cannabis delivery -only operations and all other commercial cannabis business, Motion — Vice Mayor Garbarino/Second —Councilmember Addiego: To adopt Resolution No. 82- 2019, as amended by the City Attorney, set forth in Section 6.16.037 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, consistent with the authority granted by the voter approved Ordinance No. 1556 as amended by staff.
