TOWN TBRCL
OFUON
Thank you for submitting Tiburon's housing element adopted August 20, 2014
which was received for review on August 25, 2014. Pursuant to Government Code
(GC) Section 65585(h), the Department is reporting the results of its review.
The Department is pleased to find the adopted housing element in full compliance with
State housing element law (GC, Article 10.6). The adopted element was found to be
substantially the same as the revised draft element the Department's June 16, 2014
review determined met statutory requirements.
Please note, the Town of Tiburon now meets specific requirements for several State
funding programs designed to reward local governments for compliance with State
housing element law. For example, the Housing Related Parks and Local Housing
Trust Fund Programs both include housing element compliance either as a threshold
or competitive factor in rating and ranking applications. Please see the Department's
website for specific information about these and other State funding programs at
http: / /www.hcd.ca.gov /hpd /hrc /plan /he /loan grant hecomp1011708.pdf.
The Department appreciates the dedication, hard work that Mr. Scott Anderson,
Community Development Director, provided throughout the course of the housing
element review. The Department wishes Tiburon success in implementing its housing
element and looks forward to following its progress through the General Plan annual
progress reports pursuant to GC Section 65400. If the Department can provide
assistance in implementing the housing element, please contact Robin Huntley, of our
staff, at (916) 263 -7422.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the Town Council
FROM: Scott Anderson, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Prezoning /Annexation Policies for Paradise Drive Unincorporated Area
DATE: September 11, 2014
BACKGROUND
On occasion, Town staff receives inquiries regarding possible annexation of large
undeveloped properties within its sphere of influence, primarily properties along Paradise
Drive. The Tiburon General Plan Land Use Element contains several policies regarding
annexation of unincorporated territory along Paradise Drive, and these policies set forth
criteria upon which decisions to proceed with (or defer) annexation are based.

v t`
9� q0
r
While staff may provide general feedback to inquiring parties, the decision - making authority
resides with the Town Council on these important policy matters as they have long -term
economic and land use repercussions on the Town.
The most recent occasion at which the Town Council directly addressed the policy question of
processing the development applications for (and subsequently annexing) a major
undeveloped property on Paradise Drive occurred in February 2005 for the 21 -acre SODA
property. The Town Council indicated its support for annexation, and the property was
subsequently "master planned" in conjunction with the 31 -acre Rabin property (which was
already within the Town of Tiburon) and approved as the Alta Robles project. Staff notes that
the more recent Martha Company property discussions and resulting MOU did not include
processing of the development applications and did not state a preference for nor commit the
Town to annexation of that property in the future.
ISSUE
Since the 2005 SODA property decision by the Town Council, the General Plan policies
regarding annexation have been changed substantially in that they are much more cautious
toward annexation, due primarily to economic concerns and assumption of long -term
maintenance responsibilities for portions of Paradise Drive currently held by the County of
Marin. Paradise Drive is an expensive road to maintain and the property tax exchange with
the County of Marin upon annexation is highly unfavorable to the Town in an economic sense.
Staff anticipates that the Town will shortly receive a request from representatives of a large
undeveloped property along Paradise Drive (the 26 -acre Winter /Lerner /Slater property located
upslope of Paradise Drive at the Trestle Glen Boulevard intersection) for a policy
determination as to whether they should file development applications with the Town of
Tiburon or with the County of Marin. The request would likely be submitted in the form of a
Town of Tiburon

................... ...............................
"prezoning" application, and staff would intend to refer the matter directly to Town Council for a
policy determination.
Town of Tiburon and County of Marin application processes, while somewhat similar, require
different submittal information and have policy considerations to reflect in a project design. It
is reasonable that a property owner would desire to know in advance the jurisdiction to which it
should tailor its project design and application materials.
For the convenience of the Council, staff has attached the current annexation policies as set
forth in the General Plan Land Use Element as they apply generally. Of course, additional
analysis would accompany any referral of a prezoning application for a specific property to the
Town Council.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council briefly review the attached annexation policies in
general preparation for future requests regarding the processing of development applications
for unincorporated properties located in the Town's sphere of influence.

review process, and shall encourage maximum feasible public
access to the waterfront, as called for in the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commissions (BCDC) San
Francisco Bay Plan, and where not in conflict with other public
uses or with private uses which are of public benefit.
LU -27: The Town supports BCDC policies regarding "filling of the bay'
and "shoreline public access" for land and water areas within
BCDC's jurisdiction.
Annexation
The Tiburon Planning Area includes two
distinct Annexation Areas, which are also
within the Towns Sphere of Influence
and currently within the County of
Marin. See Diagram 2.5 -1 for the location
of the annexation areas.
The unincorporated area along Paradise
Drive is an "island," referring to the fact
that the area is surrounded on all sides by
the incorporated Town of Tiburon.
Paradise Drive remains the location of
Dual Annexation Policy
To facilitate the orderly provision
of urban services, the Marin
LAFCO has adopted a Dual
Annexation Policy, which states
that when urban services are
provided for unincorporated
land, concurrent or subsequent
annexation to a municipality is
required if the land is located
within the municipality's Sphere
of Influence.
most of the undeveloped land on the
Tiburon Peninsula. Properties along Paradise Drive are the most likely to
be annexed to the Town of Tiburon, through application of the Dual
Annexation Policy.
However, with annexation the cost of maintaining Paradise Drive would
be an enormous drain on the Town's General Fund. Therefore, the Town
will need the cooperation and assistance of the Marin LAFCO and the
County of Marin to develop a financing plan which will guarantee the
Towns financial ability to provide or maintain critical public services,
including, but not limited to, road maintenance and adequate drainage
facilities and other facilities for Paradise Drive.
The Eagle Rock/Bay Vista area connects the western boundary of
Tiburon s corporate limits with U.S. Highway 101. With the exception of
two multi-acre properties, this area is essentially built -out. Because the
Eagle Rock /Bay Vista area is contained within the County of Marin
TIBURON 2020 September 2005
Town of Tiburon 2. Land Use Element
General Plan Page 2 -19
Strawberry Community Plan area, it is less likely that this area would be
annexed to the Town of Tiburon.
LU -28: The Town shall, through prezoning and annexation processes,
add land to the Town when such action will materially enhance
the community or substantially further the goals and policies of
the General Plan.
Paradise Drive is a narrow, winding road that
is costly to maintain and represents a
significant challenge to successful annexation
ofthe area.
LU -29: The Town recognizes that
the unincorporated
Paradise Drive area is an
"island" completely
surrounded by the Town of
Tiburon and that the area is
functionally a part of
Tiburon, and therefore
supports the annexation of
the area into Tiburon at
such time as annexation is
economically, procedurally,
and otherwise viable.
LU -30: The Eagle Rock /Bay Vista area could provide benefits to
Tiburon, including the accommodation of new affordable
housing, additional commercial properties, and more direct
influence regarding Tiburon Blvd. /Highway 101 interchange
issues. Therefore, the Town would consider annexation of this
area during the planning period.
LU -31: Factors to be considered in annexation requests include:
resident /property owner interest, cost /revenue and other fiscal
implications, the nature and extent of necessary infrastructure,
streets, parking, utilities and other facilities, and the feasibility
of extending Town services to the annexation area without
adversely affecting Ievels of service provided to current Town
residents and property owners.
LU -32: Timing of annexation of property shall be determined, or
recorded future annexation agreements shall be required early
in the development review /entitlement process.

LU-33: Annexation requests may be processed by the Marin Local
Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) concurrently with
development applications by the Town.
LU 34: The Town shall pre -zone property consistent with this General
Plan when annexation is immanent or when the Town deems
prezoning timely and appropriate.
LU -35: Where appropriate, the Town will make use of overlay zones or
other zoning techniques to ensure that prezoning and
annexation of existing established neighborhoods does not
result in excessive creation of non - conforming structures, nor
unreasonably disrupt the existing pattern of development of
such a neighborhood.
LU-36. The Town supports the LAFCO's Dual Annexation Policy,
including implementation through future annexation
agreements when immediate annexation is not appropriate.
Inter - Agency Coordination
Actions of other agencies, such as the County of Marin and neighboring
cities, may have an impact on planning issues within the Planning Area.
LU -37: The Town shall coordinate its land use and zoning plans with
the County of Marin, Strawberry Community, the City of
Belvedere, Town of Corte Madera, LAFCO, and other agencies
and jurisdictions to provide for more effective comprehensive
planning.
LU -38: The Town shall work constructively with LAFCO to retain an
appropriate Sphere of Influence (SOI) for Tiburon.
LU -39: The Town shall work with the County of Marin to approve
projects within the Tiburon Sphere of Influence that are
consistent with the Towns policies and compatible with nearby
land uses in Tiburon.
LU -40: The Town shall encourage the state to manage Angel Island
State Park in a way that protects the natural character and
preserves the historic resources of the island.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 9, 2014
To: Mayor and Members of Town Council
From: Daniel M. Watrous, Planning Manager
DIGEST 3•
Subject: Potential Requirements for Solar Energy Systems for New Residential
Construction
At the March 25, 2014 Town Council -Staff retreat, the Council discussed possible requirements
or incentives for installing solar energy systems on all new homes built in Tiburon. The Council
discussed several potential approaches to this issue, including an amendment to the Tiburon
Zoning Ordinance and policies or programs that would encourage installation of solar energy
systems. The Council directed staff to examine different options and report back at a later date.
Mandatory Solar Energy Systems
As noted at the Council retreat, there appear to be only two cities in California that currently
mandate installation of solar energy systems on new homes. The City of Sebastopol requires the
installation of a solar energy system for all new residential buildings; projects that increase the
floor area of a house by 75% or more; and for projects that demolish or remodel more than 75%
of the house. These houses must either install a system that generates two watts per square foot of
gross floor area of the building or a system that offsets at least seventy-five percent of the
electrical load of the building on an annual basis. City of Sebastopol staff stated that no
applications had been filed to date that would have required installation of a solar energy system,
and therefore the ease of compliance and effectiveness of their new regulations is unknown.
The City of Lancaster, located in the high desert north of Los Angeles, requires that new
dwellings provide an average of one kilowatt per unit from solar energy systems. As there are
many large residential subdivisions approved in that community, Lancaster does not necessarily
require a solar energy system to be installed on each home, but allows developers to provide the
total energy production for an entire subdivision on an aggregate basis. The Lancaster
regulations do not provide a sound basis for comparison with Tiburon.
Most properties in Sebastopol and Lancaster do not share the same topographical constraints
found on the Tiburon Peninsula. Any proposed Tiburon regulation should include an exception
process that would allow the Design Review Board to waive the requirement for installing a solar
energy system due to issues involving building location or orientation, site topography and/or
shading resulting from topography or other physical conditions on or off the subject site.
Potential Solar Energy
System Requirements
September 9, 2014
Staff has developed potential Tiburon ordinance provisions (Exhibit 2) requiring solar energy
systems for new homes that are loosely based on the Sebastopol ordinance. The ordinance
provisions would add a new Section 16- 30.130 to the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance imposing the
solar requirement, add certain definitions, and amend the design review portion of the ordinance.
Policies Encouraging Solar Energy Systems
In September 2004, the Town Council adopted the Town of Tiburon Policy for Solar Collector
Panels, which waived certain building permit fees for qualifying rooftop solar panels, provided
design guidelines for the installation of solar collector panels, and defined the design review
procedure for solar panels. After changes in State law prohibited cities from requiring design
review approval for solar panels, the Council in 2005 modified the policy to waive certain
building permit fees only for roof - mounted solar panels no greater than 8 inches above the roof
surface. In addition, a 2012 State law limits the building permit fees that may be collected for
roof -top residential solar panel installations to roughly a maximum of $500. Ground- mounted
solar collector panels are still subject to payment of standard building permit fees and must
comply with the land and structure regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The current Town policy
regarding solar panels is attached as Exhibit 3.
The Town already waives the roughly $500 building permit fee for flush - mounted or near-flush-
mounted rooftop solar panel systems, including those for new homes, minor remodels and stand-
alone solar improvement projects. Given this relatively minimal fee and the waivers associated
with many solar energy installations, there are limited opportunities for additional Town
incentives through the permitting process. These include:
• The valuation of a solar energy system could be waived in determining the overall
building permit fees. This could marginally lower the permit costs of a project, but
would not likely create a substantial economic incentive when compared to the
overall construction costs of a new home project or the solar component thereof.
The fee waiver for solar energy systems could be expanded to include ground -
based systems and roof systems that are not flush - mounted or near- flush - mounted.
However, this would provide financial incentives for systems that the Town has
previously discouraged due to potential aesthetic and view blockage impacts on
neighboring properties. As design review for such installations is forbidden by
state law, this option is problematical in certain regards.
• The $500 fee waiver could be modified to include only new homes and large
remodels, similar to those covered by the Sebastopol ordinance. However, this
would remove the financial incentive that is currently provided to homeowners
who wish to add flush - mounted roof -top solar energy systems to existing
dwellings, and could be considered a step backward.
• If the Town wishes to encourage solar energy systems with greater capacities,
incentives could be increased for systems that get down to zero energy usage or to
certain production levels, such as those described in the Sebastopol ordinance. It is
Potential Solar Energy
System Requirements
September 9, 2014
unclear whether such an incentive would substantially increase the capacities of
systems installed in Tiburon beyond the levels that homeowners would otherwise
choose to install without such an incentive.
Staff would encourage the Town Council to review these options for promoting the installation of
solar energy systems and give direction to Staff about any follow -up actions desired.

Town of Tiburon
Councilmember O'Donnell asked why there was still parking on the Tiburon Boulevard shoulder
in various areas now that the Town had completed the Lyford parking lot. Chief Cronin
described how the parking is exceeded nearly every day by Reed School parents. Other users,
such as oversize vehicles and trucks, also need temporary parking for construction projects in
Town. He said these vehicles could be moved into the neighborhoods but that often created more
problems in those locations. He said that the parking areas were primarily on Caltrans right -of-
way, but said that the Council might direct staff to find a way to limit it to two hours, for
instance, or ban overnight parking to reduce the problem.
Councilmember Fraser agreed that this parking was an eyesore, but that it needs more thought
before any action was taken. Councilmember O'Donnell said this might be a topic to discuss at
the Parking Committee. Mayor Fredericks supported this suggestion, but noted that people, such
as the workers at the Child Care Center, may also need parking in this location.
After lunch, the Council began the discussion of "topics of interest ".
1) Requirement for solar devices on new construction. Councilmember O'Donnell said that
he thought this was a way to advance green energy while saving homeowners money. He said he
was surprised to learn how much the costs had come down.
Planning Manager Watrous said he was aware of two cities that had adopted ordinances requiring
solar for new homes, remodels, or commercial expansion projects. There was some discussion of
incentivizing homeowners rather than making it a requirement. Councilmember Doyle said that
the new building codes would require zero energy use by 2030. He wondered whether the Town
might encourage solar by giving some sort of discount on the valuation of a project.
Mayor Fredericks said that having solar was a great benefit. But Councilmember Tollini said that
some homeowners, like she and her husband, had taken a different approach and had rebuilt their
home in a highly energy efficient method that reduced their utilities to almost nothing. She
expressed concern about overregulation and said an incentive might be preferable to requiring
solar panels.
Councilmember Fraser suggested soliciting more input from the community on this topic,
through Tiburon Talk, and other means. Council directed staff to flesh out some options for
incentivizing solar installations and bring them back for Council's consideration.
2) Grey water capture. Mayor Fredericks said that she had asked this item to be placed on the
agenda. Building Official Lustenberger described two new California Building Code Sections
that were adopted in 2013 that allowed for grey water capture. Lustenberger said that the Mann
County Building Officials were discussing how to allow for grey water systems in coordination
and consultation with Marin County Environmental Health (the regulating body).
Mayor Fredericks asked if the County was ready to take this on. Lustenberger said they had
indicated a willingness to take the leadership role but he suggested that the Town prepare its own
bulletin for homeowners and review it with the County first. Mayor Fredericks agreed that this
was a good approach, and that it was not wise to get ahead of the agency that will ultimately have
to regulate these systems.

Section 16- 30.130. Photovoltaic Energy Generation System Required
A. Purpose
The provisions of Section 16- 30.130 are intended to promote the conservation of natural
resources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the requirement to install
photovoltaic energy generation systems on all new single - family dwellings.
B. When required
All new single - family dwellings require the installation of a photovoltaic energy
generation system with the capacity described in Section (C) below. This requirement
also applies to any single - family dwelling project that meets the definition of "new
construction" as defined by Section 16- 100.020 (N).
C. Required system size
The minimum size of a photovoltaic energy generation system required under this
Section may be calculated using either of the following methods:
Prescriptive method. The minimum system size utilizing the prescriptive method
is two watts per square foot of gross floor area of the building. Watts are
calculated using the nameplate rating of the photovoltaic system. There shall be
no considerations for performance factors, such as tilt, orientation, shading or
tariffs.
2. Performance method. The system sizing for the performance method shall be
calculated using modeling software or other methods approved by Building
Official. The total building load, including all gross floor area, shall be calculated
in kilowatt hours. The system annual output shall be calculated by factoring in
system orientation, tilt, shading, local weather conditions and equipment
efficiency. The system shall offset at least seventy -five percent of the electrical
load of the building on an annual basis.
Methods of electrical energy production other than photovoltaic energy generation
systems for the new dwelling, including use of renewable resources or installation of new
photovoltaic energy generation systems for in- ground swimming pools, shall be included
in calculating the total requirement for any specific project.
D. Exception
The Design Review Board may grant an exception to the requirements of this Section if
it makes affirmative findings that there would be an unusual or severe practical difficulty
in the installation of the required photovoltaic energy generation system due to physical
circumstances, including building location or orientation, site topography and /or shading
resulting from topography or other physical conditions on or off the subject site.

In a technology- based, wireless world, it is disconcerting to see that Paradise Drive (one of the most
beautiful streets in the Bay Area) remains riddled with power poles and lines. As recently as two
weeks ago a truck driving along Paradise Drive between Pellegrinelli and Antillies Way struck an
overhead line and took down a power pole in the process. This has caused countless hours of repair
work and lane closures, and now two weeks later, the repairs still have not been completed.
Situated on Ring Mountain, from the Town of Tiburon boundary to Trestle Glen, Paradise Drive is
located in a particularly windy area. P G and E is dispatched numerous times a year due to storms in
this area from downed power lines to inoperable poles. While most of the rest of the Town of
Tiburon has lines underground, Paradise Drive remains a cobweb of lines and unsightly poles. All of
the above mentioned incidents and eventual costly repairs could have been completely alleviated
had the lines been underground.
Please consider saving time and future repair damages by improving our infrastructure and
concealing our power lines. Tiburon is a beautiful town, and so loved by all of its local residents.
Please let it reach its true beauty and potential while also protecting our environment.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hello, Mr. and Ms. Chroman:
Thank you for getting in touch with the Town with your concerns and
suggestions about Paradise Drive. We always appreciate hearing from residents.
Your and your neighbors' request for beautification activity, undergrounding
utilities in particular, on the north side of the peninsula is certainly understandable. I
believe there is broad concurrence in out community on the benefits of
undergrounding for safety and reliability as well as aesthetics, and we would like to
see it occur everywhere. The problem is cost. Undergrounding power lines is
extremely expensive. The Town will be spending close to one -half million dollars to
underground the short stretch between the Lyford Parking Lot and Mar West, the
one project in design now and paid for with Town funds. The Town also receives
annual credits for undergrounding from PG &E, but they are quite modest; it takes
many years to accumulate enough money from this source to tackle even a small
undergrounding project.
Most of the undergrounding that has occurred in Town has been through
private assessment districts. Two large districts in the last decade have funded
undergrounding in the Del Mar and Old Tiburon neighborhoods. Residents there
got together to form a district through a self - imposed property tax assessment; the
Town then implemented the projects. Of course these districts, too, are quite
expensive, but the residents think it is a good investment. Private assessment
districts are a possible course of action for residents along Tiburon Boulevard or
Paradise Drive if they wish to accelerate undergrounding in those areas, but we
recognize the cost barrier is significant..
I wish I could be more optimistic about swift action in this regard. I do
believe the Town will continue to underground power poles incrementally, and it is a
good reminder you and others have issued not to ignore the incorporated portions of
Paradise Drive as candidate sites for these improvements. Hearing from residents
such as yourself is always helpful, so thank you for taking the time to share your
thoughts.

Dear Mayor Fredericks, Council Members and Town Manager, 60
I am excited to see the beautification projects happening along Tiburon Boulevard- kudos!. I do think we are
neglecting the other main entrance into our beautiful town. I am writing to request consideration of beautification
and the infrastructure upgrade of undergrounding the power lines on the North side of Tiburon along Paradise
Drive.
Traveling from Corte Madera along San Clemente to Paradise Dr.; Tiburon residents see a dramatic change as they
pass into Tiburon. Corte Madera has substantially beautified their portion of Paradise Drive with flower, tree and
shrub plantings, and general landscaping... plus bike and pedestrian pathways. Tiburon has done nothing
comparable.
So, why not develop a plan to underground power lines along the north - eastern shore of Tiburon along Paradise
Dr., to Trestle Glen - a County road where increasing amounts of auto and bike traffic enter Tiburon along with tax
paying and voting Tiburon citizens who are living and commuting along this busy roadway. Also, unlike a purely
residential street, Paradise Drive is a County Road and one of only two ingress and egress roads serving the entire
Tiburon peninsula. Tiburon residents, visitors, tiburon businesses, bussed school children are affected by the
potential for collision with poles, electrocution by downed wires, frequent loss of power, costly powerline repairs
and of course the unsightly nature of power poles and wires.
I would appreciate your consideration for improving our infrastructure and undergrounding the powerlines on
Paradise Drive.
Best,
Sarah McNamara

Subject: RE: Paradise Drive Power Lines
Hello, Ms. McNamara:
Thank you for getting in touch with the Town with your concerns and suggestions about Paradise Drive. We
always appreciate hearing from residents.
Your request for beautification activity, undergrounding utilities in particular, on the north side of the peninsula is
certainly understandable. I believe there is broad concurrence in our community on the benefits of undergrounding
for safety and reliability as well as aesthetics, and we would like to see it occur everywhere. The problem is cost. It
is extremely expensive. The Town will be spending close to one -half million dollars to underground the short
stretch between the Lyford Parking Lot and Mat West, the one project in design now and paid for with Town
funds. The Town also get annual credits from PG&E for undergrounding, but they are quite modest. These funds
can be amassed, but it takes many years to accumulate enough money to tackle even a small undergrounding
project
Most of the undergrounding that has occurred in Town has been through private assessment districts. Two large
districts in the last decade have funded undergrounding in the Del Mar and Lyford Cove (Old Tiburon)
neighborhoods. These residents got together to form a district through a self - imposed property tax assessment.
The Town then implemented the projects. Of course these districts, too, are quite expensive, but the residents
think it is a good investment. Private assessment districts are a possible course of action for residents along
Tiburon Boulevard or Paradise Drive if they wish to accelerate undergrounding in their areas, but we recognize the
cost barrier is significant
I wish I could be more optimistic about swift action in this regard. I do believe the Town will continue to
underground power poles incrementally, and it is a good reminder you have issued not to ignore the residential
areas in Tiburon on Paradise Drive as candidate areas for improvements (of course, much of Paradise Drive on the
Tiburon Peninsula is in the unincorporated County rather than the Town). Hearing from residents such as yourself
is always helpful, so thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Subject: Dairy Knoll Pathway
Hello, Mayor and Council:
DIGEST g.
This past Wednesday the Town Council approved a budget amendment and authorized staff to
proceed with the bidding and award of contract for the Dairy Knoll pathway. This approval came
with the caveat that the Dairy Knoll Committee of Councihnembers O'Donnell and Fraser would
meet with staff in the field to review path alignment. Staff was directed to bring the matter back
to the Town Council for further consideration if the DK Committee so desired.
The field meeting occurred this morning. After reviewing site conditions and considering
options, the DK Committee directed staff to proceed with the project as presented and approved
on September 3. Despite everyone's wish that an alternative alignment could render a more
minimal, gentler and less expensive path, the need for the path to terminate at the front, rather
than the rear, of the building essentially dictates a "stairs with landings" approach as presented to
the Council.
Staff will move expeditiously to get the path built this fall. It is possible that weather will
preclude this schedule, but every attempt will be made to keep the project on track.
Thank you.

MCE Power Purchase Deal with New California Wind Project Achieves 33% Renewable
Energy Content for MCE Five Years Ahead of Schedule
Attachments:
Marin Meets 33% RPS Target.pdf
SAN RAFAEL, CA —This week Marin Clean Energy (MCE) announced that it is five years ahead of schedule in achieving
its goal of providing 33% California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) qualified renewable energy by 2020. MCE is
proud to reach this milestone and provide power choice for Marin residents, businesses, and municipal buildings.
Through this purchase Marin Clean Energy expects to reach 29% RPS qualified content for 2014 and then maintain a
minimum of 33% RPS qualified content through 2020. In addition to its California RPS content, Marin provides
additional Green -e certified renewable power for a total renewable content of 53 %, more than double the renewable
content of the incumbent utility, PG &E.
On September 4th, 2014, MCE approved a four year 100 Megawatt (MW) power purchase agreement with EDP
Renewables North America for 100% of the power generated by one phase of the company's newly constructed Rising
Tree Wind Farm in Kern County, CA. Under the agreement, MCE expects to receive 144,000 MWh of clean renewable
energy commencing in July of 2015, and 222,000 MWh of clean renewable energy in each year of 2016, 2017 and 2018.
This single contract will power 37,000 average MCE residential customers annually. The bundled renewable energy
from this project will replace a significant volume of unbundled out of state renewable energy credits, and therefore
create more than 300 California -based jobs, 40% of which will be hired locally, and 20 % -30% are expected to be multi -
trade union workers.
Estimated Project Economic Benefits
• $35 -40 million in property tax and $1 -2 million in sales tax to Kern County over life of project
• $30+ million in payments to landowners over life of project
• $48 million in estimated local spending out of total installed project costs
• $80 million in local economic value generated during project construction
• $2.3 million economic value generated annually throughout the life of the project
• $748,000 local spending associated with the site's yearly operation (suppliers, mowers, turtle herders,
etc...)
Since its service start in 2010, MCE has already reduced an estimated 131 million pounds of carbon dioxide – the
equivalent of the annual carbon sequestered by 48,752 acres of U.S. forests in one year. The success of Marin's
Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in achieving greenhouse gas reductions has attracted several public
agencies to request membership, including the Cities of Richmond, San Pablo and El Cerrito in Contra Costa County,
unincorporated areas of Napa County, and the City of Benicia in Solana County.

Dear Mr. Petrie:.
Flex your power!
Be energy efficient!
We have completed the investigation at this intersection at the request of the Town of Tiburon.
As the result we are proposing the hybrid pedestrian beacons as a proactive safety measure. This
work qualifies as a minor improvement; however, since the funding for Minor program is
currently very limited, we are looking to combine this location with several other pedestrian
safety improvement proposals in Marin and Sonoma counties into a single major project for
err ding pnorrty. Curren y, we hope this project can be programmed for construction in
2018 -2019 fiscal year:

The Town acknowledges their concerns, and would like to express our support in
having Caltrans conduct a review and, if warranted, implement any additional safety
measures to enhance existing conditions. The intersection serves relatively heavy traffic
patterns during school drop -off and pick -up hours, a regional public transit stop, as well
as elderly and school age pedestrians.
We recognize that Caltrans has many competing needs and a limited budget. However,
any attention to enhancing this intersection is most appreciated and, we believe, money
well spent for community safety.
If you would like to discuss this matter, please feel free to contact me at 415- 435 -7388.

The Safety Isssue of Tiburon Blvd., (Highway 139) Cal Train) in

Safety Problems. Life, to be put in much Danger and Death._
Train must make it a high priori to take Action Now! In terms of f
e mtersectlon. pdate llke Stewart Dr., in Tiburon. There is less
people using the intersection/crossing. But, Cal Train, put Thousands
of Tax Payer's money into the development. It is not Fair nor
Equal.!! There is more public, using Ned's Way Cross -walk, with less
attention to the Neds Way children an pedestrians. It's is over -time
for the State of CA., t��ay attention to Neds Way, before; there is
more accidents and deaths. You must find a Safety Way, to End theGK4rc,
Crazy Build Up of the Over -flow of Traffic. I am a Crossing..
I am so fed up with "Risking my LIfe - trying to Save Other Children
Lives in such a small Town Environment. Enough is Enough.
I should be paid for the hard work, I completeld for 9 years, as a

Hello!
Thank you very much for your participation in the Marin Independent
Journal's Spring Fashion layout. You helped make it a great success.
Comments from readers and advertisers range from "It looks great!"
to "How wonderful to see real people model clothes." to " Marin
residents are great looking." to "Where can I buy that outfit ?" to
"The make -up and hair are lovely." to "Beautiful house!"
I appreciate. all your effort and cooperation. The March 28 issue was
the best fashion section yet.
Enclosed are some tear sheets of the section for your portfolio or
scrapbook. Hope you enjoyed being part of the IJ fashion layout.
Perhaps we will work together in the not - tod- distant future. In the
meantime, take care and may all your endeavors be prosperous.
Sincerely

Pamela McConnell. 49. of Tiburon, was driving
down Ned's way at about 9:45 a.m. when the brakes
d'n 'heF car failed, forcing her to go past the stop
sign and make a hard left cum in order to stay on
the road.
The car, a 1979 Chevrolet station wagon, flipped
over, however, and landed in the ditch, trapping the
woman underwater for 30 minutes. Although the
vehicle was almost totally submerged, she was con-
scious and able to breathe from a small pocket of
air.
Tiburon Police Corporal Bob Rossi and officer
Mike Slobodnik, along with several people who had
seen the accident and stopped to help, tried to pry a
door open so that McConnell could escape, but they
were unsuccessful.
Tiburon Fire/Rescue arrived on the scene within
minutes and began work to release the trapped
driver. They used a portable air bag to raise the ve-
' hicle high enough to force the door open and help

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; -
Taking; as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
-- Reinhold Niebuhr
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Marinship management also used The Marin -er to bolster the mo-
rale of women employees and promote their acceptance by men. On
September 16, 1942, the magazine published an interview with welder
Eve Bryan Borelli, who admitted that she had heard negative comments
from some of her male co- workers. But for the most part, men had been
"wonderfully good sports about the invasion of their he -man's world."
Borelli believed that if women wanted to do "a man's work," they

D. OLD BUSINESS
1. 118 LELAND WAY: File No. 714024; Charles and Suzanne Fuery, Owners; Site Plan
and Architectural Review for construction of a detached guest cottage for an existing
single - family dwelling. The proposed 636 square foot guest cottage would include a
bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area with a wet bar. The proposal would result in a floor
area of 1,558 square feet and lot coverage of 1,928 square feet (24.1 %). Assessor's Parcel
No. 034 - 175 -04. CONTINUED TO SEPTEMBER 4.2014.
E. PUBLIC BEARINGS AND NEW BUSINESS
2. 8 ACELA DRIVE: File No. 21414; Tom and Carol 011endorff, Owners; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family dwelling,
with a Variance for excess lot coverage. The project would expand the existing master
bedroom suite on the second floor and extend an existing deck along the front of the
house. The first floor garage and office would be expanded and reconfigured to include a
new two -car garage, a playroom, bedroom, bathroom, storage room, wine room and
laundry room. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,836 square feet and lot
coverage of 3,772 square feet (20.5%), which exceeds the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot
coverage in the RO -2 zone. Assessor's Parcel No. 058 - 231 -11. CONTINUED TO
SEPTEMBER 4, 2014.

3. 123 ROUND HUI ROAD: File No. 21416; Paul Yroz, Owner; Site Plan and
Architectural Review for construction of a new single- family dwelling, with a Variance
for excess building height. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 5,503
square feet, with a 676 square foot garage and lot coverage of 3,488 square feet, or 7.7%
of the site. The proposed house would have a maximum height of 41 feet, 11 inches in
lieu of the 30 foot maximum building height for this property. Assessor's Parcel No. 058-
141-15.
The applicant is requesting Design Review approval for the construction of additions to an
existing two -story single - family dwelling on property located at 123 Round Hill Road. As more
than 50 % of the existing dwelling would be demolished as part of this project, the application is
classified as the construction of a new single - family dwelling. The first (uppermost) floor of the
house would include a living room, dining room, kitchen, a master bedroom suite, and a powder
room. The lower (middle) floor would include a family room, three more bedrooms, three
bathrooms and a laundry room. The terrace (bottom) floor would include an entertainment room,
two studies and a bathroom. A detached two -car garage would be constructed, accessed by an
extension to the existing driveway, supported by retaining walls of up to 7 feet, 8 inches in
height.
The floor area of the house would increase by 2,778 square feet to a living area of 5,503 square
feet, with a 676 square foot garage, which would be less than the 6,502 square foot floor area
ratio for a lot of this size. The project would increase the lot coverage on the site by 1,171 square
feet to a total of 3,488 square feet (7.7 %) of the site, which would be less than the 15.0%
maximum lot coverage permitted in the RO -2 zone. The proposed house would have a maximum
height of 41 feet, 11 inches. As the building height limit in the RO -2 zone is 30 feet, a variance is
requested for excess building height.
Steve Maskulka, architect, stated that the addition would result in a top floor with living, dining,
kitchen, and master bedroom, and in a lower level with family room and bedrooms. He said that
they plan to construct a detached garage that would be accessed by an extension to the existing
driveway. He displayed side and rear profiles of the site and noted that the house sits about 30
feet from the roadway. He said that they would maintain the existing height of the structure.
Chair Cousins asked about the lower portion and noted that there does not appear to be internal
access to it. Mr. Maskulka said that that area is meant to be an external entertainment area and a
private study and would be accessed by a stairway on the side.
The public hearing was opened.
William Hynes said that he is the uphill neighbor immediately adjacent to the project and he
supports the project. He stated that he was pleased to see the property improved since it has been
neglected for the past 30 years.
Boardmember Chong asked if any exploration was done to try to locate the garage closer to the
main home. Mr. Maskulka said that the driveway is at the limit of the 18% grade and although
they studied various locations they cannot push it any more forward or backward due to setbacks.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 2
8/21/14
He said that they are also trying to minimize the height of the retaining walls and if the garage
was moved then the retaining walls would rise to 15 -20 feet.
The public hearing was closed.
Boardmember Chong said that he visited the site and he supported the project and agreed with
staff's conclusions regarding the variance.
Boardmember Kricensky agreed with Boardmember Chong's comments. He said that if it was a
new house he would want to set the house back more into the hillside to be consistent with the
Hillside Guidelines.
Boardmember Emberson said that when she first saw that 40 trees would be removed she was
concerned, but after viewing the site she believed that it made sense to have the garage closer to
the house. She agreed with staff's conclusions regarding the variance.
Vice -Chair Tollini agreed with the other Boardmembers. He said that he was comfortable with
the driveway and garage being separate and believed it would be a significant improvement to
move the garage closer to the house. He supported the project and agreed with staff s findings
regarding the variance.
Chair Cousins agreed with the other Boardmembers.
ACTION: It was M/S (Chong/Kricensky) that the request for 123 Round Hill Road is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. Vote: 5 -0.
Boardmember Kricensky was recused from the following item.
4. 4388 PARADISE DRIVE: File No. 21417; Colin and Jennifer Probert, Owners; Site
Plan and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single- family
dwelling, with Variances for reduced side yard setback and excess lot coverage. The
project would convert and expand the existing guest bedroom and attached garage to
create three bedrooms and two bathrooms, expand the existing master bathroom and add
a new detached two -car garage. The proposal would increase the floor area of the house
to 2,725 square feet and would increase the lot coverage to a total of 4,039 square feet
(17.9 %) which is greater than the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot coverage for this
property. The project would extend to within 3 feet, 3 inches of the side property line in
lieu of the minimum 15 foot front yard setback for this property. Assessor's Parcel No.
038 - 162 -52.
The applicant is requesting to construct additions to an existing single - family dwelling, with
variances for reduced side yard setback and excess lot coverage, on property located at 4338
Paradise Drive. The project would convert and expand the existing guest bedroom and attached
garage to create three bedrooms and two bathrooms, expand the existing master bathroom and
add a new detached two -car garage. A new covered canopy would connect the garage to the
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13

residence and a new gas fireplace would be added to the north end of the living room. Ten (10)
new skylights would be added.
The proposal would increase the floor area of the house by 617 square feet to 2,725 square feet,
which is less than the 4,262 square foot floor area ratio for the property. The proposal would
increase the lot coverage by 731 square feet to a total of 4,039 square feet (17.9 %) which is
greater than the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot coverage in the RO -2 zone. Therefore a variance
is requested for excess lot coverage.
The proposed addition would extend to within 3 feet, 3 inches of the southern (right) side
property line. As a 15 foot side yard setback is required in the RO -2 zone, a variance has also
been requested for reduced side yard setback.
Michael Heckman, architect, introduced Colin Probert, owner. He stated that the home is older
and 1950s style and one of the objectives of the owners was to provide more options for family
and guests and a better garage situation. He said that there is a steep driveway and the Fire
District is satisfied that their trucks will be able to access the driveway. He said that they are
pleased with the end result with the garage into the hillside and they plan to replant the trees in
that area. He said that they have letters from each of three close neighbors supporting the project.
Mr. Heckmann stated that they intend to carry the modem theme throughout the additions and
the garage, with an exterior similar to the existing house, but with wood and corrugated metal
siding. Planning Manager Watrous pointed out that the new materials were supposed to have
been submitted prior to the meeting. Mr. Heckman apologized and said that he only received the
materials a couple of days ago. He stated that they would maintain the long wing of the house
with wood siding with metal siding planned for the converted garage space. He provided a
reference photo showing the proposed design of this area. He believed that it would provide a
wonderful shadow pattern around the side of the building and an aesthetically pleasing look. He
said that they plan to leave the metal natural and it will turn powdery grey over time.
Mr. Heckman stated that they are requesting variances for the setbacks because they are limited
by the garage and parking area and the other variance request is for the master bathroom, which
is quite limited.
There were no public comments
Boardmember Emberson said that she liked the project and the corrugated metal siding, which
would look very striking with the cedar shingles. She believed that it would be a nice addition
and agreed with staff s findings regarding the variances. She noted that there are a large number
of skylights but she did not think that anyone would have a problem with them.
Vice -Chair Tollini said that he was not focused as much on the number of skylights but instead
on the amount of glazing on the roof, which he thought was modest. He did not think that it
would be a problem, especially with the distance of the neighbors from the property. He said that
he also liked the corrugated metal and supported it as it would add a good deal of interest to a
home that could look plain without it. He did not like the fact that the garage would add to the
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13 4
8/21/14
amount of setback intrusion and thought that there may be other ways to design it. He said that if
it was canted at an angle it would help preserve the setback, but it would not be as nice
aesthetically, so he could make the findings for the variances and supported the project.
Boardmember Chong said that he also liked the corrugated metal. He understood the desire to
improve the area and agreed with statements by the applicant in their letter. He supported the
project.
Vice -Chair Tollini noted that the garage would be built very close to the shrubs and suggested a
condition of approval to replace those shrubs if they are damaged. Planning Manager Watrous
stated that the Fire District would not likely allow plantings that close to the building.
Chair Cousins agreed that the contrast between wood and metal siding would make the structure
look more modem. He said that the additions would be excavated into the hill and would not
appear to be massive. He also thought that the natural screening on the hillside would mitigate
any effects. He did not have any problems with the setback and supports the findings for the
variances.
ACTION: It was NUS (Chong/Emberson) that the request for 4388 Paradise Drive is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the
attached conditions of approval. Vote: 4 -0 -1 (Kricensky recused).
Boardmember Kricensky returned to the meeting.
5. 20 SOUTHRIDGE WEST: File No. 21418; Darrell and Theresa Coleman, Owners; Site
Plan and Architectural Review for construction of a swimming pool and retaining walls
for an existing single - family dwelling, with a Variance for excess lot coverage. The
proposal would expand an existing patio and add a new swimming pool, safety railings,
retaining walls and new landscaping. The proposal would result in lot coverage of 3,480
square feet, or 22.0% of the site, which is greater than the 15.0 % maximum permitted lot
coverage for this property. Assessor's Parcel No. 034 - 311 -07.
The applicant is requesting design review approval for construction of a swimming pool and
retaining walls for an existing single- family dwelling, with a variance for excess lot coverage, on
property located at 20 Southridge West. There would be no modifications or additions to the
existing single - family dwelling, but there would be minor improvements to the rear yard, which
includes expanding the existing patio, adding a new 10' x 48' pool with safety railing, retaining
walls, and new landscaping. Since swimming pools that extend more than three feet (3') above
grade are counted towards the lot coverage calculations, the proposal would result in lot
coverage of 3,480 square feet (22.3 %), which is above the maximum permitted lot coverage in
the RO -2 zone (15.0 %). As a result, a variance is requested for excess lot coverage.
Brad Eigsti, landscape architect, said that there is a sewer easement located on the property and
initially they had proposed 10 foot walls, but when they met with staff they were asked to lower
the walls to 6 feet which pushed the project into the sewer easement. He said that the hardship is
therefore the sewer easement that is particularly unique to this property. He also noted that the
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13
8/21/14
property is zoned RO -2 and if it was zoned R -1 then their improvements would not require a
variance at all.
Theresa Coleman, owner, stated that they have lived on the property for 14 years and know their
neighbors well. She said that the neighbors support the project if they plant vines on the side of
the retaining wall.
There were no public comments.
Boardmember Emberson said that it was nice that the applicants talked to their neighbors. She
said that she can easily make the variance findings.
Vice -Chair Tollini said that the only thing he struggled with was the practical difficulty or
unnecessary hardship finding. He thought that this was a modest expansion of an existing patio
space that would provide much needed usable space for the property. He said that he could make
the findings based on that, combined with the fact that it is a hillside lot with a substandard lot
size.
Boardmember Chong said that he visited the site and the biggest concern for him was screening
it from the neighbors. He said that the Board often struggles with the practical difficulty and
unnecessary hardship finding but he believed that the findings could be made as the property
lacks needed space for healthy outdoor activities.
Boardmember Kricensky said that he also supported the project and noted that they have granted
variances for other projects because of steep lots. He believed that this would be a good use of
the space.
Chair Cousins said that his concern was the retaining walls, but since it would be landscaped and
the height of the walls was reduced, he could support it.
Planning Manager Watrous suggested a condition of approval requiring that the applicant
landscape the side of the pool wall facing 24 Southridge West to the satisfaction of the Planning
Division.
ACTION: It was M/S (Chong/Emberson) that the request for 20 Southridge West is exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval, and the additional condition of approval to landscape the pool wall on the
side facing 24 Southridge West. Vote: 5 -0.
Boardmember Emberson was recused from the following item.
6. 4 MARAVISTA COURT: File No. 21419; Linda and Marcus Beisel, Owners; Site Plan
and Architectural Review for construction of a fence for an existing single - family
dwelling, with a Variance for excess fence height. The proposal involve the construction
of a 7 foot tall redwood fence on the rear property line in lieu of the maximum fence
height of 6 feet for this property. Assessor's Parcel No. 055 - 183 -25.
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13
8/21/14
The applicant is requesting design review approval for construction of a new wooden fence, with
a variance for excess fence height, on property located at 4 Maravista Court. The property is
currently developed with a single - family dwelling. The proposed redwood fence would be
located on the rear property line (east side) in between the subject site and 681 Hilary Drive and
would have a maximum height of seven feet (7'). The existing six foot, eight inch (6'8 ") fence
would be removed. Approximately, 38 linear feet of the fence would be 7 feet tall, and the other
portion (31 linear feet) would be five feet, eight inches (5'8") in height. The proposed fence
would connect to the remaining perimeter six foot (6') fence along the other property lines.
The maximum permitted fence height within a required setback in any zone is six feet (6'). The
applicant is therefore requesting a variance for excess fence height, in order to construct a seven
foot (7') tall fence on the rear property line.
Marcus Beisel, owner, stated that there is an existing fence between his property and his
neighbor's property that is currently 8 feet in height. He said that they would like to replace this
fence with one of the exact same height.
There were no public comments.
All Boardmembers stated that they supported of the project.
ACTION: It was M/S (Chong/Tollini) that the request for 4 Maravista Court is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval. Vote: 4 -0 -1 (Emberson recused).
Boardmember Emberson returned to the meeting.
7. 20 MATEO DRIVE: File No. 21421; Suzanne Kim and Eric Neis, Owners; Site Plan
and Architectural Review for construction of additions to an existing single - family
dwelling, with a Variance for excess building height. The proposal would add 22 square
feet floor area to an existing bedroom with two new windows and includes other minor
site improvements. The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,798 square feet.
The proposed additions would have a maximum height of 38 feet, 9 inches in lieu of the
30 foot maximum building height for this property. Assessor's Parcel No. 038 - 381 -02.
The applicant is requesting design review approval for the construction of additions to an
existing single - family dwelling, with a variance for excess building height, on property located at
20 Mateo Drive. The property is currently developed with a single - family dwelling. The
modifications would be on the upper level of the home, which would consist of adding 22 square
feet floor area to an existing bedroom with two new windows. Other proposed improvements
include six new skylights on the roof, new roofing material, and a new trellis over an existing
third level balcony.
The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 3,798 square feet, which is below the
maximum permitted gross floor area ratio for the property (5,987 square feet). The maximum
TIBURON D.R.B. MINUTES #13
8/21/14
height of the existing home is 38 feet, 1 inch. The new roof and parapet would extend the height
of the home to a maximum height of 3 8 feet 9 inches (the new height would vary between 38
feet, 1 inch to 38 feet, 9 inches). As the maximum building height is 30 feet, a variance is
requested for excess building height.
Suzanne Kim, owner /architect, stated their addition would be 22 square feet. She presented a
paper model of the addition and noted that it would one foot over the height limit. She noted that
a three foot trellis would be built in the back and a parapet that would be eight inches to one foot
in height.
There were no public comments.
All Boardmembers agreed that the project was minimal and would not impact any neighbors and
they supported the project.
ACTION: It was M/S (Chong/Tollini) that the request for 20 Mateo Drive is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act and to approve the request, subject to the attached
conditions of approval. Vote: 5 -0.

Re: Priority Conservation Areas (PCAs) Program Update - Priority Conservation Area
Designation for New and Existing PCAs
Dear Mr. Anderson,
As part of the broader Plan Bay Area Implementation effort, ABAG staff worked with local
jurisdictions, the ABAG administrative committee and stakeholders to develop a Priority
Conservation Areas (PCA) program update. Adopted July 17, 2014, this update specifically
addresses the Open Space and Farmland implementation areas and introduces four categories to
recognize the role of different kinds of PCAs in supporting the vitality of the region's natural
systems, rural economy and human health.
In addition, this update revises the process for new PCAs and removing a PCA. This letter serves as
a formal notification of the opportunity for jurisdictions to remove an existing PCA.
Jurisdictions that would like to remove a PCA now have 90 days, until December 10t °, 2014, to
adopt a resolution removing the PCA.
Existing PCAs — Process for Confirming
The process for confirming existing PCAs (those that have already been adopted by the ABAG
Executive Board) includes the following:
1. ABAG sends a notification (this letter) to the nominating agency and to the jurisdiction in
which the PCA is located.
2. If the jurisdiction wants to remove the PCA, the jurisdiction has 90 days to adopt a resolution
of-opposition to the PCA. An adopted resolution nullifies the applicable existing PCA.
3. If no resolution of opposition is submitted to ABAG within 90 days, the existing PCA will be
confirmed.
4. ABAG staff will work with the nominating agencies to identify the designation applicable to
each PCA and the relevant benefits it provides.
New PCAs — Application Process and Requirements
The new PCA application period to nominate a new PCA begins now and ends May 30, 2015. The
revised guidelines for PCA nominations, review and adoption are summarized below.
Mailing Address: P.O. Box 2050 Oakland, California 94604 -2050 (510) 464 -7900 Fax: (510) 464 -7970 Info @abag.ca.gov
Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter 101 Eighth Street Oakland, California 94607 -4756

Revisions to Priority Conservation Areas
September 10, 2014
PCA applications may be submitted by jurisdictions or special districts such as open space and park
districts. The nominating agency must send notifications to all of the jurisdictions in which the PCA
is located. These jurisdictions will have 90 days from receipt of the notification to adopt a resolution
of opposition to the PCA. An adopted resolution would invalidate the nomination.
The application requires that PCA nominations include:
1) An adopted resolution of support from the jurisdiction(s) in which it is located.
2) A map and text describing the general area and boundaries of the PCA.
3) Selection of one or more of the PCA designations described below and text and supporting
text and data.
4) Discussion of the regional and local importance of the PCA.
PCA Designations and Criteria
The update introduces four categories to recognize the role of different kinds of PCAs in supporting
the vitality of the region's natural systems, rural economy and human health.
Designations describe the primary function of a PCA. In some cases, PCAs can have more than one
designation area. For example, a riparian corridor designated as a Natural Landscape PCA may cross
an Agricultural Lands PCA and Regional Recreation PCA.
The four designations are described below:
• Natural Landscapes —areas critical to the functioning of wildlife and plant habitats, aquatic
ecosystems and the region's water supply and quality. Existing PCA Examples: Upper
Stevens Creek Watershed Area (Santa Clara County); Napa Valley River Corridor (Napa
County); Acalanes Ridge Open Space (Walnut Creek and Lafayette).
• Agricultural Lands— farmland, grazing land and timberland that support the region's
agricultural economy and provide additional benefits such as habitat protection and carbon
capture. Existing PCA Examples: Suisun Valley (Solano County); Napa County Agricultural
Lands and Watersheds (Napa County); Coastal Agriculture area (Sonoma County).
Urban Greening — existing and potential green spaces in cities that increase habitat
connectivity, improve community health, capture carbon emissions, and address stormwater.
Many existing and likely Urban Greening areas are not within PDAs. Existing PCA
Examples: East Bay Greenway (Oakland /San Leandro/Hayward/Unincorporated Alameda
County); Hercules Waterfront (Hercules); and Palou - Phelps, Bayview park/open space
connector (San Francisco).
• Regional Recreation — existing and potential regional parks, trails, and other publicly
accessible recreation facilities. Existing PCA Examples: Bay Trail (multi- county, multi -
jurisdiction); Boethe -Napa Valley State Park to Sugarloaf Ridge State Park (Napa County);
Russian River Access (Sonoma County).

September 10, 2014
Benefits describe specific types of habitats, health outcomes, and other objectives that the designated
PCAs support. Each benefit is accompanied by at least one criterion as well as data sources for
evaluating whether or not the PCA meets the criterion. Many PCAs will provide additional benefits
beyond the primary ones listed for its designation. These are captured as co- benefits. Proposed PCAs
are not required to list co- benefits, but these help describe its full impact.
A copy of the application materials, a sample resolution, and additional information about the
designations is available online at httn'//abae ca.gov /vision/conservation/. Please contact: JoAnna
Bullock, Senior Regional Planner, ioannabaabae.ca.sov 510 -464 -7968, with any questions about
new or existing PCAs and the application process.

This letter is to inform you that we will apply a 5.5% growth factor to the Third Quarter 2014 (3Q14)
advance payments. As you are aware, the Department of Finance (DOF) projected a growth factor of
8.0% in their notice that was issued to all jurisdictions on May 27, 2014. The following will set forth the
reasons why we have decided to apply a 5.5% growth factor to the 3Q14 advance payments.
A. A comparison of 1 Q 14 Bradley Burns Net Local Tax to I Q 13 Bradley Burns Net Local Tax
disclosed that revenues were up approximately 3.7% statewide.
B. Review of the Statewide Cash Receipts for the Second Quarter 2014 period (May, June
prepayments and July 2014 final payment) were up approximately 4.49% when compared to
2Q13 period.
Based on the above, the Board of Equalization will apply a 5.5% growth factor to the 3Q14 advance
estimates. If you have any questions concerning any of the information provided you can contact us via
