Vice Mayor Berger, the Council's representative to the Downtown Development Committee,
said that it was a 'combination of "consciousness raising" about new merchants and businesses
downtown, as well as to promote positive interaction between residents and local businesses,
Terry Koenig, representing the Chamber and Koenig & Associates said that the idea was to make
Main Street a gathering place on Fridays nights and to encourage people to stay in town rather
than go into San Francisco (or other locations). He concurred with the Vice Mayor that it would
be a venue to showcase new stores and restaurants, and that there would be picnic tables
available for those who just wanted to comc down and enjoy thc music and ambience.
Councilmcmbcr Gram said that hc thought an alternate approach might be to see if the first
evening was successful and if so, to plan future ones using what had learned from the first event.
Vice Mayor Berger said that the group had considered "spreading out" the evenings over a longer
period oftime but noted that with the changing seasons, darkness would fall earlier which would
makc it Icss workable,
Mayor Fredericks asked ifthc livc music would be staged at the ferry plaz.a and was told that it
would be in thcstreet, near Scrvino' s restaurant.
She noted that residents in the area had complained about loud music, Mr. Koenig replied that it
would be "low key" so that people could talk, and that there was no stage or big P A system
planned.
MOTION:
To approve the closure of Main Street for five Friday nights, bcginning Septcmher
17, and to appropriate $5,600 to help subsidiz.e the cost of "Fridays on Main."

proposed event on October 2 at the Boardwalk parkinglot and asked that Council re-direet the
$2,000 it had allocated for the "Festival of Trees" to that event instead. She said that the funds
would be seed money to cover the cost of the "oompah" band and food, and that it would be a
family event with balloons, a clown, and face painting, as well.

Planning Manager Watrous said that two changes had heen requested for changes to the building
envelope at 6 Indian Rock Court, He said that the Planning COlllmission recommended approval
of the change to the western portion of the envelope but not to the eastern side because it
encroached into a scenic easement (between the homes and 6 and 8 Indian Rock Comi) that was
established by the Town Council when it approved the Preserve Precise Plan,
Mayor Fredericks opened the public hearing,
Marci Camacho, landscape architect representing the owners oCthe propeliy, said that her clients
felt that the Planning Commission recommendation was reasonable especially once they found
out that the neighbors [at 8 Indian Roek Court] had been required to remove landscaping IrOln
the scenic caselllent in the past.

The Mayor ask cd whcthcr thc proposed deer fences would be hidden by existing shrubbery,
Ms, Camacho said that they would not be visible from the street due to the topography in the arca
and that the deer fence would be made of mesh material with stained posts to blend with the area,
In response a comment by Mayor Fredericks, about the portion of the plan on the eastern side
which had not bcenapproved, Ms, Camacho concurred that the landscaping on that side would
have indeed been visible and would have changcd the "barren" look of the area which was
similar to the surrounding open space.
Mayor Fredericks closed the public hearing,
Vice Mayor Berger said that it was a well though out landscape plan.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
Several years ago, the Town received a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC) to conduct a traffic operation study of Tiburon Boulevard. Kimley-
Horn & Associates (KHA) was the traffic engineering consultant utilized by MTC to
conduct the study, which culminated in a final report dated June 14, 2001, Among
the conceptual improvements identified by KHA is a merge-acceleration lane for
motorists turning onto eastbound Tiburon Boulevard from Reed Ranch Road, This
improvement is included the Town's current Capital Improvement Program (CIP),
Based on review of the conceptual plan and related traffic operations between Reed
Ranch Road and Trestle Glen Boulevard, staff solicited a proposal (Exhibit 1) from
KHA to refine the concept plan in consultation with Caltrans and develop plans and
specifications, KHA will also evaluate potential circulation improvements at the
Trestle Glen Boulevard intersection. Capital funding for Trestle Glen intersection
improvements are included in the Town's draft 205-06 CIP, KHA
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council authorize the Town Manager to execute an
agreement with KHA to develop plans for Reed Ranch Road merge-acceleration
lane and related improvements on Tiburon Boulevard as outlined in their proposal.

REVIEWED BY: ~
. . . .. .... ........... '....
......... .... ... ....
BACKGROUND
On September 9, the Town opened bids for the 2004 Capital Improvements Project-
Drainage & Sidewalk Repairs. The approved plans and specifications were prepared
by Harris & Associates and. includes repairs on Spanish Trail, Taylor Road,
Greenwood Court and Cove Road sidewalk, The Cove Road sidewalk extension was
identified as a pedestrian safety improvement and included in the project, A portion
of the new sidewalk is within the City of Belvedere and they have agreed to fund that.
portion of the work,
A total of three contractor bids were received. The low responsible bidder was
Maggiora & Ghilotti in the amount of $94,948, The Town's CIP budget included
$50,000 for drainage repairs. $60,000 was budgeted in last year's CIP for the
Spanish Trail work, but staff elected to' combine it with this year's CIP project
although the funding was not carried over into the current fiscal year. Accordingly, a
budget amendment is required to fully fund the project (including 10% contingency),
Upon award and execution of the project contract, staff anticipates that construction
will commence in September and should be completed in late October.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council award the contract for the 2004 Capital
Improvements Project - Drainage & Sidewalk Repairs to Maggiora & Ghilotti, Inc, in
the amount of $94,948 and authorize a budget amendment of $45,000 to be funded
from the General Fund Streets & Drainage Reserve.

MEETING DATE: September 15, 2004 REVIEWED BY: L
. . . . . . . . ~ . . . . . . .
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
On April 7, 2004, the Tiburon Town Council adopted Resolution 13-2004 establishing a
stormwater runoff impact fee. A fee waiver was recently requested by a project applicant
on the basis that their property abutted Richardson Bay and all stormwater runoff from
the site discharges directly into the bay without entering the Town's storm drain system,
The resolution establishing the fee did not provide for any fee waivers, Based on the
applicant's request, it appears reasonable that an exception be allowed where
stormwater runoff discharges directly into the bay. To accommodate such waivers, the
resolution that established the fee must be amended by resolution, Staff has prepared a
draft resolution (Exhibit 1).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council adopt the attached resolution which adds
Paragraph 9 to the Stormwater Runoff Impact Fee adopted by Resolution 13-2004.

constmction projects in the Town. However, the Town Engineer has concluded that in a
small minority of constmction projects, the impervious surfaces created or cxpandcd will
havc no impact on the Town's storm drain system becausc any increased TUnoffwill drain
directly into thc bay.
4. The Town only imposes developmcnt fees wherc nccessary to recover the costs imposed by
new development. Accordingly, the Town has decided to authorize the Town Enginecr to
waive the Stonnwater Runoff Impact Fee, as set forth in this Resolution, for thosc
construction projects where any incrcased runoffwill drain directly into thc bay and will not
impact thc Town's storm drain system.
2. Adoption of Amendment to Stormwater RunoffImpact Fee
The Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does hereby resolve that the following
Paragraph 9 shall be added to the Stormwatcr Runoff Impact Fee adopted by Resolution No, 13-
2004:
9, Waiver.
The Town Engineer shall have the authority to waive the Stormwaier Runoff Impact Fee where he
determines that the constmction project will have no impact on the Town's storm drain system
because any increased runoff created by the project will drain directly into the bay without passing
through any Town drainage facilities, In the cvcnt that the Town Enginecr denies a project
applicant's request for a waiver as provided herein, thc applicant may appcal said decision to the
Town Council in writing within ten days from receiving noticc of the Town Engincer's decision,

BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65400(b) requires that an annual report be prepared by the planning
agency of each town or city, which is then forwarded to the appropriate legislative body, on the
status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation, In Tiburon, the "planning agency"
. is the Planning Commission.
The statute specifically requires a progress report on meeting the community's regional fair
share housing allocations,
The General Plan Guidelines, published by the Governor's Office of Planning & Research (OPR)
in October 2003, states that "if the jurisdiction is in the process of a comprehensive general plan
update, the progress report can be limited to a brief letter describing the scope of work and
anticipated completion date.'"
State law also requires that the annual report be forwarded to the State Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) and to the Governor's Office of Planning & Research
(OPR) in Sacramento each year.
The Planning Commission reviewed the draft letter at their regular meeting on September 8,
2004, and has directed Staff to forward the letter to the Town Council
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Town Council review the draft letter, make any desired revisions, and
direct Staff to send the letter to the State Department of Housing & Community Development
and the Governor's Office of Planning & Research.

SUBJECT: ANNUAL GENERAL PLAN STATUS REPORT FOR FY 2003-2004
This letter is intended to satisfy the statutory requirements of Government Code
Section 65400(b) concerning the status. and implementation of the Town of
Tiburon General Plan. Because Tiburon is currently in the process of a
comprehensive general plan update, the Town is submitting a letter describing
the scope of work and anticipated completion date, as described in the current
version of the General Plan Guidelines.'
SCOPE OF GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
The Town began a comprehensive update of the General Plan in the summer
of 2002, with a public participation program designed to get early input from the
community. The Community Development Department (COD) sent out
newsletters to every postal customer in the Town and solicited feedback
through a General Plan Update Survey, In addition, COD sponsored three
General Plan Update workshops covering different topics, Nearly 500 survey
responses were received by COD and 75 people attended the three
workshops. Results of the Public Participation Program were published in a
Public Participation Report,
For the last two years, the Town has been in the Goal, Policy, and Program
Refinement stage of the General Plan Update, COO Staff has produced a
series of white papers, called Issues Papers, which have provided existing
conditions, a review of feedback from the Public Participation Program, and a
review of the Town's 1989 General Plan, The Issues Papers have provided
recommended goal, policy, and program language which have been the subject

of a series of public meetings before the Planning Commission and Town
Council. The review of the Noise and Safety Elernents this month concludes
this stage of the General Plan Update.
In a letter dated July 3, 2003, the State Department of Housing and Community
Development informed the Town that once the Draft Housing Element is ,
adopted, "it will be in full compliance with State housing element law." Because
changes in General Plan Land Use Designations and allowable densities are
required to accommodate the Town's share of the regional housing need, the
Town will adopt the Housing Elernent at the same time as the rest of the
General Plan. As reported below, the Town continues to work on achieving its
housing goals.
Work on the Draft General Plan, Tiburon 2020, and the required Environmental
Impact Report has begun, Adoption of the Town's updated General Plan is
scheduled forMarch 2005.
HOUSING GOALS
During FY 2003-2004, eight new single-family homes were completed within
the Town of Tiburon, and the Town estimates that three new homes were
completed in unincorporated area within the Town's Planning Area. Each of
these 11 new homes is market-rate. In addition, one second unit was
completed during the fiscal year. Based on a rental survey conducted for the
Housing Element, the Town considers second units as low income units.
Following is a table which shows the Town's share of the regional housing
need and the progress made through the end of FY 2003-2004.

Proposed Lyford Cove Utility Undergrounding Assessment
. District
MEETING DATE: September 15,2004
. . .,.' . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .-. . . . . .
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Since December 2002, Lyford Cove area residents (led by Liz Bird and Joan
Lombardo) have pursued the undergrounding of overhead utilities in their.
neighborhood. At that time, the proposed district included approximately 80 parcels.
The council expressed support of their efforts and encouraged them to continue
moving forward. Since that time, the proposed district has expanded to encompass
over 225 properties, In May 2003, the project proponents submitted petitions and
subscription deposits from over 60 percent of the properties within the proposed
district and the Town Council adopted a resolution of intention to form the Lyford
Cove Utility Undergrounding Assessment District. Since that time, the District
Engineer (Harris & Associates) has coordinated with the utility companies in
developing the scope and cost of the undergrounding work, The culmination of that
effort is the Preliminary Engineer's Report (Exhibit 1), The report summarizes the
estimated project costs and the rationale for assessing each property according to
the special benefit that each property receives, Harris & Associates will present a
summary of the report,
An adVISOry meeting was held at Town Hall on September 1, 2004 to provide
property owners within the proposed district an opportunity to preview the
Preliminary Engineer's Report and ask questions of the district engineers, bond
counsel, bond underwriter and Town staff, A second informational meeting is
tentatively scheduled for October 6.
The next step in the assessment process is for the Town Council to consider
adopting a resolution (Exhibit 2) preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report and
directing related actions, including setting the date for balloting, mailing ballots,
recording the boundary map, etc, Notices and ballots will be mailed to all property
owners at least 45 days prior to the public hearing and ballot tabulation, The
proposed date for the public hearing and tabulation of ballots is November 17. If the
ballot is approved by more than 50 percent, assessment notices will be sent to
property owners and there will be a 30-day collection period that provides owners the,
opportunity to pay the assessment in cash rather than participate in bond financing,
After the cash collection period, the Town Council will adopt a resolution authorizing
the issuance of bonds, During this time, the District Engineer will finalize the project

Re: Lyford Cove Undergrounding of Utlltties
Meeting 9/1/04
COUNCIL MEETING:
September 1S, 2004
Council Members,
Having promoted Undergrounding for the last S years and attended local and PUC meetings In the past, I
have been a supporter of undergroundlng utilities from tts Inception. The following points are clarification to
some misconception that tt is NOT as simple as promoted last night.
The Idea for undergroundlng started because of the unsightliness of the overhead wires and the
interference wtth our views.
AESTHETICS: The Assessment Basis in last night's handout give this only 33% of the Beneftts. WHY?
This being the most Important reason for doing the work.
SAFETY: yes, there is a beneftt, but In the last 40 years I can NOT remember any tree falling on any
power lines In our area,
RELIABILITY: No, there is no greater reliability than at the current time, because we are still depending
on the main feeder lines from downtown and Its underground transformers which are feeding our
District. CASE In point: Hillhaven above us, now undergrounded, has more and longer black-outs than
before. They stili depend on the feeders from other areas,
It Is wrong to sell the Public on Safety and Reliability as being 60%+ of the reason for undergrounding,
Of course it Is much easier for the planners to make tt all 'equal' but In actually tt is NOT SO.
The AESTHETICS BENEFIT POINTS must be staggered in relationship to the actual BENEFITS. this was
done in Belvedere and Mill Valley, and can be done here. Americans are for FAIRNESS and it is quite clear
that the proposed point system Is not fair to many who have NO WIRES In their views whatsoever, Their,
benefit points should be 'O.S' while others who have four major wires crossing their living room window
should have '1.S' benefit points. We all have to participate, but fairly.
UTILITY COMPANIES: The reason why we have telephone/power poles and wires along our streets is
because PG&E has the 'right-of-way' to serve us with power and signals. They sell us their service and
should participate in PAVING part of the undergrounding. it is part of the cost to do business and the rates
we pay currently have this included.As a matter of fact PG&E has a program for this participation,
Did you know that PG&E Is sublettino the 'right-of-way' to Comcast and SBC to use their poles for a given
income\profit ? WE, the consumers have to pay these 'tenants' to redo thier wiring, why ? The rental
income should be paying for this cost. We need to be some serious negotiating.
PRIVATE CONVERSION COST: are obviously NOT included. The cost estimates given yesterday are for
simple Installations such as open ground from street to house. Path and patio crossings are adding to the
cost. Also not included are any AMP Increases which probably most older residences would like or need to
have.
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSESSMENT: Last night no discussion was heard about the annual recurring
fee ($20,000) or about $100 for each parcel by the Town for its additional work.

METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
BACKGROUND
The Assessment District is formed under the authority of the Act and Article XlllD of the California
State Constitution, which require that local agencies levy assessments according to special benefit. In
addition, Article XIIID, Section 4, of the State Constitution requires that a parcel's assessment may not
exceed the reasonable cost of the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Section 4
provides that only special benefits are assessable and the local agency levying the assessment must
separate the general benefits from the special benefits, It also requires that publicly owned property that
benefits from the improvements be assessed, Neither the Act nor the State Constitution specifies the
method or fonnula that should be used to apportion the costs to properties in any special assessment
district proceedings, The responsibility for re.commending an apportionment of the costs to properties
which specially benefit from the improvements rests with the Assessment Engineer, who is appointed for
the purpose' of making an analysis of the facts and detennining the correct apportionment of the
assessment obligation. Therefore, costs and expenses of proposed improvement(s) will be apportioned
against the properties by a fonnula or method that distributes the cost.. in direct proportion to the
estimated special benefits these parcels receive from the improvements,
The approval of the assessments rests with the Town Council. The Council renders its decision after
hearing testimony and evidence presented at a public hearing and tabulating the a"essment ballots,
which are mailed to all record owners of property within the Assessment District. Only ballots delivered
to the Town prior to the close of the public hearing are tabulated, The Council's findings must include
whether or not the assessment spread has been made in direct proportion to the estimated special benefits
received by each parcel.
SPECIAL BENEFIT
The purpose of this Assessment District is to provide the fmaneing to underground existing overhead
electrical, telephone and cable facilities, These facilities are the direct source of service to the properties
within the Assessment District.
The proposed replacement of existing overhead utility facilities (power, telephone and cable facilities)
with underground facilities will provide a special benefit to the parcels who will be served by the new
distribution facilities as a result of enhanced service, reliability and capacity, as well as improved safety,
All new wires and equipment will be in'stalled underground, which eliminates the threat of interrupted'
service by downed power lines due to wind and rain, Removal of the existing wood poles and the
overhead wires will also aesthetically enhance all parcels that are directly adjacent to these facilities, By
virtue of such benefits, the proposed improvements will increase the desirability and will specifically
enhance the values of the properties within the Assessment District. Therefo~e, 100% of the proposed
improvements are of direct and special benefit to the properties within the boundaries oflhis Assessment
District.
All general benefits, if any, to the surrounding community and public in general from undergrounding of
these local overhead utilities arc intangible and are not quantifiable,
METHODOLOGY
To establish the benefit to the individual parcels within the Assessment District, a Benefit Point system is
used, Each parcel of1and is assigned Benefit Points (BP's) in proportion to the estimated special benefit

. APN 059-203-04 appears to be adjacent to the poles and wires to be underground in Paradise Drive,
but due to topography has no access or view to those poles and wires, In addition~ this property is
connected to the previously underground facilities in Mar East Street. Therefore, this property is
deemed to receive no benefit from the proposed improvements and is exempt from this assessment.
Linda Vista Assessment District No. 1994-01. The parcels to the north ofthis portion of Linda Vista
Avenue are the only properties within Assessment District No. 1994-02 which paid for the
undergrounding to improve the view in the southerly direction, towards San Francisco Bay,
. Half of the properties within the Linda Vista Assessment District receive their service to the north
/Tom existing poles and overhead wires in Paradise Drive, The properties that arc connected to 'lines in
Paradise Drive are considered to receive halfthe benefit for improved safety and no additional benefit
from property aesthetics as they have already participated in an undergrounding assessment and are
deemed to have paid for this benefit. They do, however, receive full benefits from improved service
reliability,

. The parcels adjacent to this undergrounded portion of Linda Vista Avenue arc ten townhouses and
two R-2 properties that receive their service connections from the previously undergrounded facilities
but were not part of Assessment District No. ]994-02, There are existing poles and overhead wires to
the south of these properties in Mar East Street. These properties are considered to receive half the
benefit from service reliability, as their small system is completely dependent upon the larger overall
system that is to be undergrounded, and half the benefit /Tom improved safety; however, they arc
deemed to benefit from the improved property aesthetics from the proposed undergrounding project.
The APN's with this benefit are:

ASSESSMENT APPORTIONMENT
Based on the findings above, it is our conclusion that the improvements specially benefit all developable
properties in the Assessment District in proportion to the number of Benefit Points calculated for each
property, such that:
Safety Benefit Points + Reliability Benefit Points + Aesthetics Benefit Points = Total Benefit Points

Plan Preparation, CEQA Compliance, and Plan
Adoption (March 2005)
TOWN COUNCIL PUBLIC
HEARING
With the Planning Commission public hearing complete, the Noise & Safety Elements Issues
Paper now comes before the Town Council for its consideration and comment. The Town
Council, as the Town's policy-making body, is charged with making the final recommendation to
Staff about the appropriateness of the suggested goals, policies, and programs contained in the
Issues Paper.
In essence, the Town Council is being asked to answer two questions:
1. Do the goal, policy, and program recommendations (summarized in Appendices A and B
of the Issues Paper) accurately represent the goals and vision of the community? If not,
what modifications need to be made to make them accurately represent those goals and
vision?
2. Are there issues and ideas which are missing from the recommendations presented in
this paper?
This is the time in the General Plan Update process to give direction for substantial changes to
the recommendations presented in the Issues Paper. Following this review, Staff will begin
preparation of the Noise and Safety Elements that will be part of the Draft General Plan: Tiburon
2020,

HIGHLIGHTS OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES IN THE NOISE AND SAFETY ELEMENTS
Noise Element
Many of the existing goals, policies, and programs in the Noise Element are included in the
recommendations for the updated General Plan. One change is the recommendation to remove
the policy and program to adopt a noise ordinance, which the Town Council has considered and
rejected in favor of directly addressing the noise sources.
Safetv Element
Many goals and policies of the existing Safety Element are recommended for the updated
General Plan,
There are a number of Safety Element policies in the adopted General Plan which are
statements of specific strategies the Town uses during the development review and
environmental review process to ensure that possible impacts of hazards are adequately
addressed. While the Town will continue to implement these strategies, Staff has .
recommended that the General Plan policies be refined to be put in language more suit~ble for
the General Plan, These changes are discussed on pages 31 - 33 of the Issues Paper.
Additionally, Staff has recommended that the scope of the Safety Element be expanded to
address community policing and emergency preparedness.
ISSUES DISCUSSED AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING
Unlike review of previous General Plan elements, the Planning Commission hearing did not
identify issues on which Staff requests the Town Council provide direction, Following is a
review of the comments received at the Planning Commission meeting. However, no specific
questions are posed of the Town Council.
Exbanded Noise Regulations
The Planning Commission and public requested that the Town consider expanding the ban on
gas-powered leaf blowers to include the areas around the Town's hotels. The Planning,
Commission suggested that the Town may consider limiting the use of cleaning equipment at
the Bell and Boardwalk Shopping Center during early hours. .
If the Town Council wishes to pursue these suggestions, Staff recommends that they be done
through amendments to the Municipal Code. Both suggestions would be too specific for
inclusion in the General Plan.
Intearate Services with Neiahborina Jurisdictions
The Planning Commission, in observing that approximately 1/3 of the Town's operating
expenses fund the Police Department, suggested that the Town may want to look for ways to
integrate services with neighboring jurisdictions to reduce costs over the planning horizon of the
General Plan.
Staff had recommended policies regarding the importance of a strong revenue base in the Land
Use Element, and the consensus of the Town Council, Planning Commission. and public was

that revenue matters, while important, did not belong in the General Plan. Therefore, Staff does
not believe that integrating services with neighboring jurisdictions should be part of the General
Plan. However, this and future Councils may wish to explore this issue further.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council take public comment about the goal, policy, and
program recommendations contained in the Noise & Safety Elements Issues Paper, provide
direction on issues of interest to the Council; and direct Staff to proceed with the drafting of the
Noise Element and Safety Element of the updated General Plan.

Re: Noise and Safety Elements Issue Paper of the Tiburon General Plan
Dear Commissioners and Development Department,
. I would like to comment on the landslides section in the safety elements discussion of the
revised General Plan proposal. Landslide damage can be particularly costly to local
governments that need to make repairs to damaged public roads and drainage facilities. In
addition court decisions have expanded the potential liability of local governments for
landslide damages. Litigation is often the only recourse left to individuals with landslide
damaged property, because earth movement insurance is unavailable. This is an
extremely important point because it distinguishes landslides from most other hazardous
phenomena, Public entities often end up paying a significant part of pre-trial settlements,
regardless offault. With this in mind, I ask that you have further discussions re landslides
and the following:
I) It would be helpful to include a map in the Noise and Elements Paper that detailed the
landslide areas for hazard identification in addition to the one provided for Debris-Flow
Source Areas. We seem to have maps for the other safety issues. All landslides are
triggered by similar factors-weakness in rock/soil iri earthquakes, heavy rain, steeping of
slopes by construction or erosion, alternate freezing/thawing or volcanic eruptions
activity changing some critical aspect of the geological environment. More relevant to us
is that the Geological Society reports that "Most are often triggered bv human activity,
such as excavations cutting into the toes of slopes, making them unstable. Slides can also
result from loadinl! the top of a slope with buildings..."
2) General areas of instability are known on the remaining 5 acre plus parcels in Tiburon.
The General Plan states "Approximately 90% of the remaining vacant land in the Tiburon
Planning Area is over 30% slope which increases the chances for unstable conditions in
addition to dramatically increasing the cost of development. (General Plan la.) Most
landslides occur on slopes of between 34-37%. The General Plan's slope policy allows
40%. "There is widespread presence of unstable or potentially unstable slopes throughout
the Tiburon Planning Area. A mass grading approach to development of these areas is
unacceptable to the Town due to the environmental and aesthetic ramifications associated
with mass grading," (General Plan L c) OSC-D states "To discourage to the maximum
extent feasible development of areas subject to hazards, including but not limited to,
geotechnical problems, unstable slopes and flood-prone areas." Slope-density regulation
is not a cure all for landslides. This presumes that landslide hazard is directly related to
slope steepness, which is not necessarily the case. Landslide hazard mitigation should
encourage the clustering of dwelling units and emphasize percent open space rather than
parcel size.
EXHIBIT NO. '3
My understanding is that there are special assessment districts formed specifically to
abate actual or threatened landslides, land subsidence, soil erosion. or other natural or
unnatural movements of land or earth. I am unclear as to whether or not we are one. If
we are not, I would like to suggest that we become a Geologic Hazard Abatement
~~d .
4) The Town must consider the long-term public costs of hillside development. It is in the
Ilublic interest to prevent damaging: landslides from ever occurring and PROHIBIT
development in recognizably unstable areas. commensurate with the quality of available
hazard information, To knowingly approve construction on unstable land seems ripe for
culpability even if "Landslide deposits can be built upon if the structural integrity (e.g.
pilings) reaches to competent materials beyond the depth of the deposit." This is risky in
terms of the Town's liability. J(hillsides are to be developed, structures should be
grouped in the most stable areas with grading codes enforced through comprehensive
grading inspections funded through development fees.
I believe the public truly wants our Town representatives to "Guide development away
from hazardous areas, such as unstable slopes and flood prone areas." The policy of least
cost is to prevent development in geotechnical hazard sites that by approving makes the
Town a party to what could become a huge liability.
Other comments specific to the report:
SE-I and 5. Please define "adequately mitigated."
SE-2 (SE-4).. . Keep ".,. proposed development poses no hazard to the project itself or
other areas." Strike the word "reduce
SE-5 Keep the statement but eliminate "maximum extent possible,' Landslide potential
is difficult to mitigate when it could result in uninsurable loss. ." Iflandslides
pose a threat, when is it not feasible or appropriate to avoid?
SE-6 Keep "Development on Steep Slopes" as a safety issue- I have recently found out I
live at the bottom of a landslide area and to me it is my "safety" at risk here. I
would suggest keeping the statement and s~king "wherever possible." .Change
the Open Space and Conservation Element Policy if need be to be included in the
Development of Steep Slopes Policy ifit is redundant. My other question is,
"When is it NOT possible?"
SE-7. . . ..define "other measures."
Thank you for your careful consideration of the above-mentioned comments. I am sorry I
will be out of town for the initial meeting,
. Sincerely,

RE: Excessive Noise of Garbage Trucks
Dear Mr. Bryant:
1 am writing to complain about the excessive noise that Mill VaUey Refuse garbage trucks make in
the early morning - 6:00 am. The revving truck engines, clanging cans, squealing compactors and
screeching brakes wake up our family and most likely, many people in the neighborhood. The
garbage collectors should not be allowed to pick up garbage until 7:00 am, the time that aU othcr
trades people arc aU owed to commence work.
The garbage coIlectors come clanging down my driveway at 6:00 am every Thursday morning, Most
people in the houschold are not up at this hour. As Mt. Tiburon Road is steep, thc trucks recve up
their en/,>ines to climb the hill. Once the truck arrivcs, the garbage men clang the heavy cans as they
empty them in the truck. The truck is then reversed out of the drivcway, making a loud beeping
waming noise. To compound the noise, the garbage men compact the garbage in the truck, which
causes a very loud squealing noise. After picking up the garbage in the area, clan/,>ing and squcaling,
the truck goes down the hill- screeching its brakes, The loud activitics of the garbage men and truck
wake up thc family and jar them out of bed at a very early hour - 6:00 am.
Why are the garbagc trucks aUowed to makc excessive noise so early in the morning when other
trades people can not commence work until 7:00 am, and large machines can not begin bcfore 8:00
. am? I understand the justification for this disturbance is due to traffic -- the garbage trucks may cause
traffic jams. I do not understand the logic of this argument. While very noisy, the limited number of
garbage trucks will not makc a difference in traffic patterns.in residential areas. Even if the truck
must stop, the truck can pull into a driveway. For congested areas, the City can request that the
trucks not opcrate on Tiburon Boulcvard - the most dcnse traffic area - during 7:30 - 8:30 am
commute hours, In addition, thc garbage trucks currently operatc during peak traffic hours. In thc
current arrangement, the trucks start at 5:30 am and end at 2:30 pm, They currently operate during
prime commute'hours. Requiring them to start at 7:00 am and finishing by 4:00 pm will not disrupt
thc traffic patterns. The change,.however, will allow people to maintain quite in the neighborhood'
while they are sleeping.
Another supposed justification for the early start is to allow the trucks time to go to the dump to
unload thc garbage. In fact, the trucks do not go to thc dump in the afternoon, they return to the yard
whcn finished with the run. The dump is open very early in thc morning. The trucks drive to thc
...,.."",,-,---
dump at 4:30 am to unload the previous day's garbage. The trucks then commence the garbage
pickup, arriving at the houses at 5:30 am, The early morning arrival is for the conveniencc of Mill
Valley Refuse, not out of necessity to meet the requirements of the landfill.
Tiburon currently rcquires that construction crews beh<in after 7:00 am and heavy equipment aftcr
8:00 am. One ofthe reasons for the restriction is to preserve the quiet while people are sleeping. Thc
large garbage trucks, revving up the hill and h'l"inding their compactors, makc morc noisc than most
construction crews. The garbage company should be required to comply with the rules mandatcd for
all other trade groups. The garbage collection should only be able to bcgin after 7:00 am.
] propose that thcTown Council adopt a resolution requiring that garbagc collcction beh<inaftcr 7:00
.' . .
am.
Please inform me as to the Council's decision regarding the proposed resolution. If the Council is
unable to adopt a resolution, pleasc scnd mc materials pertaining to proposing a referendum for the
electorate. I am sure voters, especially those who are jarred out of bed by noisy garbage trucks, will
support a mcasurc which limits thc timc of operations for garbage trucks.
I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Steven Gold

Re: Noise & Safety Elements Issues Paper
Dear Scott:
] want to thank you, Kevin Bryant, and the staff for a job r well-done on the
Noise & Safety Elements Issues Paper. As a general observation, its
unfortunate that the Town doesn't enjoy an opportunity to toot its own horn
about the work and performance of local government in it its efforts to
maintain and protect the health, welfare and safety of its residents. This
issues paper is an example of what local government does or seeks to do and for
which it is not often-enough. recognized for those efforts and
accomplishments.
As you are aware, I will be on vacation and unable to attend the meeting on
September 8, 2004, when the issues paper will be addressed at the Planning
Commissions public hearing.
I note ,that there is no reference to safety in the light of our nation's 9-11
disaster. Is that something that is included in the safety issues portion of the
paper only by implication? Is it something to which consideration has been
g i v en?
I do have some specific comments and questions regarding a few of the
recommended policies that I will address below. I hope that some of the
comments will be of either assistance or provide an opportunity for further
explanation,

Goals;
Goal N-C (Policy N-l). This policy refers to the "careful placement of land uses,

"restriction", "constraint" or some other term instead of "placement" be
considered?

Noise Element - General Plan Update
SEP 1 62004
TOWN CLERK
TOWN OF TIBURON
Kevin,
As we discussed today, there appears to be no Town directive for handling the ever
increasing noise from neighbors' new air conditioners, hot tub pumps and swimming pool
pumps.
In the Del Mar neighbor.hood where we live, homes are being updated and expanded thus
covering more of the lots. At the same time the owners are adding equipment such as pools,
hot tubs and air conditione~s. This equipment all generate noise around the clock. If
improperly sited on the lot, this noise can become a severe annoyance to neighbors. At
present, there is no Town process or ordinance which r.equir.es review of the placement of
these noisy pieces of equipment, nor requirements to mitigate the noise level affecting
neighbors.
We personally are victims of a neighbor's newly installed air conditioner. Other neighbors
have complained about the noise from newly located hot tubs.
We can foresee an ever increasing noise problem from these devices as more are added.
Therefor.e, we urge the Town to anticipate more of these problems, and implement either
planning review procedures or a municipal ordinance dealing with these sources of
neighbor.hood noise.
I understand that you will provide copies of this ernail to the Council members prior to
the September 15 review meeting.

Hi Kevin,
Because of a Religious Holiday, beginning that night, I will not be able to attend the Town Council Meeting
scheduled for 7:30pm on the 15th of September.
If I were able to attend, I would make sure that the Ordinance that bans gas powered leaf blowers is not "watered
down" in any way,
Frankly I would like to have it expanded to also apply to the parking iots as weli as the Tiburon Lodge,
I don't think that the Lodge was exempted in the language of the Ordinance that was passed by the Councii but if
they were exempted I would like that changed so that they are not.
I would very much appreciate if you stated this on my behalf,
Many Thanks in Advance,

BACKGROUND
The Noise & Safety Elements Issues Paper is the final in a series of "issues papers" that are the
main part of the Goal, Policy, and Program Refinement stage of the General Plan Update. The
purpose of the Issues Paper is to provide a common reference point for discussion and
deliberation of goals, policies, and programs. It is not a draft of the Noise and Safety Elements,
PUBLIC MEETING
The Issues Paper and the recommendations contained within it will be the subject of public
meetings hosted by the Planning Commission on Wednesday, September 8 and the Town
Council on Wednesday, September 15, The public will be encouraged to participate in the
meetings,
The purpose of the Issues Paper and the public meetings is to gain adequate feedback to draft
a Noise Element and a Safety Element for the updated General Plan: Tiburon 2020. This is the
appropriate time to give direction for substantial changes to the recommendations presented in
the Issues Paper. When the draft General Plan is considered by the Planning Commission and
Town Council, the goal is to have only minor changes to the goals, policies, and programs left to
make,
To facilitate this process, the Planning Commission and Town Council should keep the following
questions in mind while reading the Issues Paper:
1', Do the goal, policy, and program recommendations accurately represent the goals and
vision of the Town Council, Planning Commission, and the community? If not, what
modifications need to be made to make them accurately represent those goals and
vision?
2. Are there issues and ideas which are missing from the recommendations presented in
this paper?
NEXT STEPS
The final stage of the General Plan Update, the drafting and consideration of the Draft General
Plan, Tiburon 2020, and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), has begun. This fall, the
Planning Commission will hold a "scoping" session to allow the public to help identify the

NOISE & SAFETY ELEMENTS
ISSUES PAPER
AUGUST 2004
I. Introduction
The purpose of this Issues Paper is to provide a starting point for the process of reviewing
and refining the goals, policies, and prol,'Tams of both the Noise Element and the Safety
Element ofthc General Plan by providing information and analysis that will help frame
the review and refinement process.
In addition, language is proposed for goals, policies, and programs which may be
considered for the new General Plan, Tiburon 2020. While the language is written in a
"Yay that could be adopted, it is expected that the Planning Commission and Town
Council, and members of the community, will otTer changes to the proposed language or
their own suggestions, It is from this process that new Noise and satety Elements will be
drafted.
The Noise Element is one of the seven required elements of a general plan, "The
i purpose of the noise element is to limit the exposure of the cOlnmunity to excessive noise
levels.'" State law specifically requires that the noise element show noise contours for
highways and freeways, and primary arterials and major local streets, and "include
implementation measures and possible solutions that address existing and foreseeable
noise problems, ifany.,,2
The Safety Element is another of the scvcn required elements of a general plan. "The
aim ofthe safety clement is to reduce the potential risk of death, injuries, property
damage, and economic and social dislocation resulting from tires, floods, earthquakes,
landslides, and other hazards. The safety element must identifY hazards and hazard
abatement provisions to guide local decisions related to zoning, subdivisions, and other
entitlement permits.,,3 '

II. Noise Element
A. The Noise Environment
As part of the initial public participation pro!,'fam for the General Plan Update, the
Town's "quiet and peaceful" environment was identified by 20% of survey responders as
a valued characteristic ofTiburon.
Traffic on U.S. Highway 101 and Tiburon Boulevard is the primary source ofnoise in the
Planning Area. Occasionally, aircraft flying into and out of San Francisco International
and Oakland International Airports fly over the Tiburon Peninsula, Other noise sources
inelude garbage pick-up; construction; delivery trucks and the commercial activity'
Downtown and at the Covc Shopping Centcr; and boating near Downtown.
Thc Town does not havc a fonnal Noisc Ordinance.
Existing Noise Conditions
Traffic Noise
Government Code Section 65302(1) requires that current and projected noise levels be
analyzed and quantified for highways, rreeways, primary arterials, and major local
streets. The law requires that noise contours, shown in terms of community noise
equivalent level (CNEL) or day-night average level (Ldn), be prepared on the basis of
noise monitoring or following generally accepted noise modeling techniques.
The Town retained acoustic consultants Rosen Goldberg & Der to prepare existing and
future noise contours for the Gencral Plan Update. Rosen Goldberg & Der used a two
part process to generate the noise contours, First, the firm calculated the A.M. and P.M.
peak hour noise level (Leg) along U.S. 101, Tiburon Boulevard, Trestle Glen Boulevard,
and Blaekfield Drive using the Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise
Prediction Model (FHW A RD-77-1 08). The traffic inlonnation that is required lor this
model was provided by Crane Transportation Group, the linn which conducted the traffic
analysis for the review of the Circulation Element.
Adjustments were applied to the calculated peak hour Lcq to obtain the day-night average
sound level (Ldn). The adjustments were based on the 24 hour measurements that Rosen
Goldberg & Der made along U.S. 101 and Tiburon Boulevard. The two measurements
are summarized below.
The existing and projected noise level contours are shown in Figures I and 2.

Aircraft Noise
The California Division of Aeronautics is in charge of enforcing airport noise regulations
for all, airports within the state. The noise standards require that no residences, schools,
hospitals or places of worship be within a Noise Impact Area. Thc Noise Impact Area is
a line around an airport within which the noise level is at or exceeds 65 dB CNEL.4
At thc request of the County of Marin, San Francisco International Airport has conducted
noise mcasurements at Tiburon, Bolinas and PI. Reyes to quantify aircraft overflight
noise. The studies have shown that noise gencrated by individual jets reaches maximum
overflight noise levels of 45 to 70 dBA at these locations. The aircraft-generated CNEL
ranged from 19 to 44 dB in Tiburon. 5
Consideration of Noise Regulation - 2001
In 2001, after hcaring a number of citizen complaints about noise, the Town Council
examined the Town's noise regulations and other jurisdictions' approach to noise
regulation.
Residents had identified the following categories of noise complaints:
. Waste management and delivery trucks in Downtown
. Construction noisc in residential arcas
. Corinthian Yacht Club (located in Belvedere) functions
. Amplified music at late hours
. Loud cleaning equipment
. Loud boats in and around the Corinthian Yacht Club marina
. Late night collection ofrecyclable materials in Downtown
. Gas-powered lcafblowers in residential areas
. Jet skis
The Town Council concluded that adopting a noisc ordinance that regulated noise based
on decibel levels would bc too difficult to enforce. This conclusion was based on
information compiled by Town Staff from jurisdictions which used this approach and
informed the Town that because of the complicated nature of the sound-measuring
devices and ordinances, they are rarely enforced.
.. Instead, the Council endorsed an approach which addrcsscd the discrete causcs.of noise.
Following are the actions taken since 2001 by the Town to improve the noise
environment:

. Amended the Municipal Code to limit the time of day that commercial vehicles,
including waste management trucks, could operate in Downtown;
. Amended the Municipal Code to prohihit the use of gas-powered leaf blowers
within residential areas; and
. Amended the Municipal Code to ban jet skis in Town waters.
These supplemented noise regulations which were already in the Municipal Code prior to
2000 which:
. Limits the hours of construction, pursuant to a building permit;
. Prohihits habitual animal noise that unreasonably disturbs the peace; and
. Requires a pennit from the Town for amplified music or spccial events in none
residential zones.
Sensitive Receptors
Sensitive receptors are those that are most aflected by noise. The California General
Plan Guidelines lists schools, churches, convalescent homes, and sensitive wildlife
. habitat as sensitive receptors that should be identified in the General Plan. The locations
of these sensitive receptors in the Planning Area are shown in Fih'IJre 3,
Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines
The California General Plan Guidelines include h'IJidelines for noise-compatible land
use. The existing General Plan contains a table; Noise and Land Use Compatibility
Guidelines, which is consistent with the current state h'IJidelines. Therefore, Staff will
recommend that the table be included in the updated General Plan,

3. Recommendation for Refined Noise Element Policy
Policy N-6: AcousticalAna(vsis
Policy N-6 currently reads:,
Policy to be Replaced: The Town should require an acoustical analysis for
all projects proposed in areaB where existing noise exceeds normally
acceptable Icvels. Such projects should contribute to thc mitigation ofthe
existing - and projccted - noise in that area to the cxtent that it would
impact the proposed projcct.
This policy is intended to require new development in areas where existing noise levels
exceed acceptabl~ levels to conduct an analysis and to mitigate the project so that noisc
levels within the completed development arc acccptable.
The policy should be refined to relate to the Noise and Land Use Compatibility
Guidelines which will be ineluded in the General Plan. Staffrecommends the following
policy.
Recommended Policy: Ifthe projected noise environment for a project

Town shall,require an acoustical analysis so that noise mitigation
measures can be incorporated into the project design.
.3. Recommendation for New Noise Element Policies
Downtown Mixed U~e Housing
The Housing Element and Downtown Element both recommend allowing a !,'Teater
density of housing on several Downtown properties, A substantial portion of the Town's
needed affordable housing is anticipated to be constructed in Downtown on mixed-use
parcels. The Downtown Element would allow for additional commercial development in
Downtown as well. .
The elose proximity of new commercial uses with new and existing residential uses can
create a potential conflict with respect to noise. New commercial projects in Downtown
should be required to minimize the noise impact of business, such as loading areas,
heating and cooling systems, and other mechanical equipment, on nearby residential uses.
New residential projects should be required to use the best available technology available
to minimize interior noise levels. Staff recommends the following policy., '
I
Recommended Policy: New projects in Downtown shall, through site
design and the use of the best available building technology, minimize the
potential noise conflicts between commercial and residential uses,
particularly on mixed-usc parcels.
Noise and Land Use Compatibility Guidelines
Policies of the Gcneral Plan call for use of the Noise and Land Use Compatibility
Guidelines to determine where noise levels arc unacceptable, which in turn trigger
policies for acoustical analysis. Staff'recommends a more generic policy which
addrcsscs appropriatc land use as well,
Recommended Policy: The Town should use the Noise and Land Use
Compatibility Guidelincs to determine acceptable uses, and to require
noise attenuation methods in noise-impacted areas,
4. Current Noise Element Programs
Thc currcnt Noisc Element has two programs: onc to develop and adopt a noise
ordinance, the other to contact agencies about discouraging aircraft flyovers.
Program N-a: Develop and Adopt a Noise Ordinance
Pro!,'Tam N-a states that the Town should "develop and adopt a noise ordinance which
scts forth specific procedures and actions for the Town to follow in ordcr to implement
the Noise Element." The program identifies provisions that may be included in thc
ordinance.
Town qf'Tihuron
General Plan Update: Tihuron ]020
DRAFT Noise & Sqkly Elements Issues Paper
August JOI!4
Page I J
Since adoption of the current Noisc Element in 1989, the Town has considered and
rcjccted adoption of a Noise Ordinance on morc than onc occasion. Most recently, in
2001, the Town Council considered a range of alternatives to address noise issues. The
Council rcjected a broad noise ordinance in favor of one which regulates the operation of
commercial trucks in Downtown, The Council a~,'reed with the Staff conclusion that
rC~,'1Jlating dccibcllevcls is cxtremely difticult to enforce and therefore ineffective,
hi 2002, the Town expanded its regulation of the sources of noise pollution, when the
Council strengthened an ordinancc banning the use of gas-powered Icafblowcrs in
residential areas and limiting the use of the leafblowers in commercial areas, In 2003,
the Town hanncdjct ski opcration in Town waters, partly on the basis of noise impacts.
Based on Council actions and policy discussions since 1989, Staff believes that the
program to develop and adopt a noise ordinance is no longer needed. However, Staff
also believes that the approach employcd by the Council to addrcss noise issues has been
effcctivc and that, as noise issues arise in the future, the Town move to regulate the noise
source. Staff therefore recommcnds the following program.
Recommended Program: The Town should periodically assess the noisc
environment to identify noise sources that should be regulated to reduce
excessive or offensive noise,
Program N-b: Contact Agencies to Discourage Aircraft F(vovers
Prol,'Tam N-b is as follows:
N-b: The Town should contact the appropriate agencies to ensure that they
are aware of the Town's poliey discouraging aircraft flyovers of the
Tiburon Planning Area.
Staff recommends that the policy be included in the updated General Plan.
5. Deletion of Unnecessary Noise Element Policies
Policy N-7: Acoustical Ana(vsis
Policy N- 7 states that
Policy to bc Deleted: The Town should require an acoustical analysis for
all proposed projects that have the potential to generate noise through the
gcneration oftraflie or through the operation ofthe project. Such projects
should contribute to the mitigation of the noise impact wherever it is found
by the Town that such impacts are contributed to in part hy the proposed
proj eet.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a process by which loose water-saturatcd sands and othcr granular
materials suddenly lose strength when shakcn during an carthquake or for other reasons.
Thc lurching and sliding which occurs can cause severe damagc to structurcs built upon
such deposits.
Bay Mud is a common underlying matcrial along shoreline fills in the Tiburon Planning
Area, Bay Mud is susccptible to liquefaction. Bay Mud can be huilt upon if the
structural integrity rcachcs below Bay Mud to solid undcrbcdding, or if othcr acceptablc
methods, such as "floating" foundations, are employed.
Figure 5 shows the areas which arc susceptible to liquefaction.
Settlement
Settlemcnt is caused by the compaction ofloose materials, resulting in a ]oweringofthe
surfacc and possible damage to those structures located on top of the matcrials,
Settlement can bc accelerated by the groundshaking accompanying earthquakes,
Diffcrential settlement, common when part of a building is on a cut surfacc and thc other
part is on a poorly compacted till, can cause extensive damage to buildings becausc of
uneven soil compaction, Settlement is occurring in the Tiburon Planning Arca wherc
development is constructed on Bay Mud. Differential settlement is occurring in areas
wherc construction oecurrcd on poorly compacted fills.
Structural Failure
Under different earthquake scenarios, ABAG has predicted that up to 3,495 housing units
in Marin County (about 3 percent) could be uninhabitable in a large earthquake. The loss
of three percent of Tiburon's housing stock would result in the loss of 129 units,6
Buildings which are susceptible to thc greatest loss are lands on Bay fill and wood-framc
apartments. Older homes are generally more susceptible to structural failure than newer
homcs.
In addition, scveral of the Town's commcrcial buildings arc located in areas that are
suscc-ptiblc to the most violent shaking and liquefaction during an earthquakc,
Critical facilities that could bc damaged during an earthquake include the Tiburon
Blvd./E. Blithedalc Ave. overpass ofU.S, 101, and several watcr tanks, ineluding the
Spring Lane Tank which providcs a significant percentagc of water to the Planning Arca.
Water mains would also be susceptible to damage during an earthquake, Figure (, shows
the locations of the watcr tanks and the overpass,
(, Assumes there arc 3,952 housing units in Tiburon (as of.lanuary I, 2()()4), as reponed by the Caliromin

Surface Rupture
Surface rupture commonly occurs during earthquakes in California because the
earthquakes originate near the earth's surface, Ground on one side of the fault moves
relative to ground on the other side, and any structures built across the fault trace will be
defonned or destroyed, Displacement can be vertical, horizontal, or a combination of
both. Displacement may vary from a few inches to several feet.
,Tsunamis and Seiches
Both tsunamis and seiches can be caused by groundshaking or displacement. Tsunamis
are great waves that originate in the ocean, and seiches arc waves that originate in closed
or semi-closed bodies of water such as San Francisco Bay, Either can cause extensive
damage in shoreline areas,
In San'Francisco Bay, a tsunami can either enter through the Golden Gate and cause a
peak wave run up at the Tiburon Planning Area's shoreline of up to 3 to 4 feet. A seiche
occurring within San Francisco Bay could cause a peak wave run-up of up to 6 to 8 fect
at the Tiburon Planning Area's shorelines.
2. Flooding and Erosion
Flooding'
In the Tiburon Planning Area, lands that flood are not common. The areas that flood are
found primarily near the shorelines of San Francisco Bay and Richardson Bay. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has mapped two flood zone areas in
the Tiburon Planning 'Area: Zone A, with a flooding probability of once every lOO years
and Zone B, which has a flooding probability of between once every 1 00 to 500 years
(see FigiJre 7). Some areas oflocalized flooding (e.g., ponding) are lightly inundated
more frequently but are shown in Zone B, Ponding occurs when development of an area
increases beyond the'local drainage system's capabilitY to colleet the runoff.
Erosion
Erosion is the process by which weathered rock and soil is transported by gravity or by
moving water. It can also jJe caused by strong winds. Erosion can ca'use severe damage
to structures. Grading and other development activities may incrcase erosion many times
above natural levels,
3. Fires
Tiburon is susceptible to wildfires, urban fires, and wildland-urban interface fires where
the two areas meet.
Wildfires often occur on /,'fassy areas, and can spread to nearby dwellings, If the fircs arc
unattended or exposed to winds, some forested areas, such as those of eucalyPtus, may be
particularly prone to forest fires. However, this problem is limited in the Tiburon
Planning Areaby interspersion of woodland areas within open grasslands.

The /,'Teatest problem posed by wildfires is the insufficient means of access for fire
fighting equipment and personnel to arcas susceptible to such fires, Ideally, such access
should 'be provided over all-weather (maintained or paved)roads and over grades no
steeper than 15, percent.
Urban fires can be a serious problem in older areas of the Tiburon Planning Area, such as
Downtown Tiburon. In some older areas, narrow (or no) spaces between buildings can
provide opportunities for structural fires to leap from one building to another as well as
create barriers to firefighters seeking access between structures.
Large parts of the Tiburon Peninsula are either penmmently protected as open space or
are private landholdings that are currently undeveloped. Figure 8 shows these areas,
which are susceptible to wildfires.
The wildland-urban interface is the area where development and structures meet with
undeveloped wildland and vegetative fuels.
Based on factors including existing vegetation types, probability of fire, and wildland-
urban interface settings, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has
identified communities which are at risk of wildfire. Tiburon is on the list and scores in
the highest threat category7
Peak Load Water Supply'
The Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD) provides the entire Planning Area with
public water service. Water is provided to the planning area through a network of watcr
storage tanks and pipes. Duc to the age and design of the water delivery system, a
number of areas have substandard peak load water supply for fire fighting purposes.
Downtown is served by older cast iron pipes which are scheduled to be replaced as part
ofMMWD's Fire Flow Master Plan in the next two to three years. Currently, the water
delivery system is substandard for fire fighting purposes.
In the Paradise Drive area, south of Trestle Glen Boulevard, the water main does not
deliver the 1,000 gallons per minute (/''Pm) required by the Tiburon Fire Protection
District (TFPD) for adequate fire protection.9 In order to improve the fire flow in the
gravity system, the six-inch diameter water main would need to be replaced with a larger
pipeline.
7 http://www.cafireal1iance.org/communitie:-; at risk.php
~ Based on a discussion with Tiburon Fire D~trkt Battalion ChicfWilliarn Steiger, July 27, 2004.
9 The TFPD requires I ,SOO gpm for developments with homes larger than 3,600 square feet. The TFPD
also requires developers to install eight-inch water mains capable of supplying a minimum of 1.500 gpm
for two hours to tire hydrants spaced at 350-foot intervals throughout new subdivisions.

Other areas ofTiburon that are located in higher elevations, such as Centro East and
Centro West in Old Tiburon; Hill Haven; the upper parts of Gilmartin Drive and Stewart
Drivc; and properties in the middle ridge area, have marginally sufficient water flow.
This is primarily a function of elevation, as there is not enough of a difference in the
elevation of the Mt. Tiburon tank and the homes it serves to provide the necessary
pressure from !,'l"avity.
In addition to these areas within TFPD:s service area, MMWD will also be performing
pipe replacements in the Eagle Rock area (part of Southern Marin Fire District's service
area) that will increase fire flow in that part of the Planning Area. 10
FIRE Safe Marin
Following the Oakland Hills fire in 1991; several public agencies and private interests
wanted to work together to reduce the likelihood that a similar fire would occur in Marin
County. FIRESafe Marin was formed to promote fire safety and stimulate communities
to collaborate when solving problems related to wildland fire protection. Among the
members ofFIRESafc Marin are the Marin County Fire Department, the Marin
Municipal Water District, the National Park Service;PG&E, and the Town of Corte
Madera.

4. Slope Instability
The hilly landscapc which makes Tiburon such a desirable place to live also exposcs
people and homes to the dangers oflandslides and other threats from slope instability,
Landslides
The downhill movement of soil and rock is termed a landslide. Natural events like heavy.
rains and site work such as road building and landscape watering may increase the size,
number, or frequency ofJandslides. Earthquakes, particularly after a rainy season, may
trigger landslides,
Franciscan Melange is a geologic unit (or type) which is highly susceptible to landsliding
and which comprises approximately 40%) of the Tiburon Planning Area. There may be
large sections of serpentine or !,'1"eenstone within Franciscan Melange, thereby giving the
casual observer a feeling of security due to the hard rock, However, thesc pieces of
serpcntine or !,'l"eenstone are literally floating in a mass ofJoose, unconsolidated material,
most of which is readily subject to landsliding, particularly during groundshaking.

Landslide I>eposits
Landslidc deposits may bc remnants of ancient landslides or they may bc moving at a
very slow rate called "creep". Ifttiggered by man-made or natural causes. landslide
deposits can move dramatically, with potential harm to person's or properti Landslide
deposits can bc built upon ifthc structural integrity (e.g., pilings) rcachcs to competent
materials beyond the depth ofthe deposit. .
Slow, virtually imperceptible soil movement is termed "creep". Even though the
movement may only be a few inches per year, the movement still may still rupture pipes,
fracture foundations and cventually destroy buildings.
Debris Flow Mudslides
Debris Flow Mudslides occur along narrow !,'\Illies on slopes between 30 and 40 de!,'fees.
During heavy rains, water collects in colluvium.at the top of these gullies and saturates
the material to such a de!,'fee that the material can no longer stay in place. The result is
that material will "pop" out from the hillside and slide down thc gully. The material
gathers speed and size (both !,'found matcrials and brush) and becomes a hurtling mass by
the time it reaches the bottom of the !,'\Illy. If the slopes are over 40 degrees, the ground
is too steep to become saturated. Ifthe slopes are less than 30 de!,'fees, the force of
!,'favity is insufficicnt to bring thc debris flow downhill.
Figure 9 shows areas that are likely to produce debris flow mudslides, according to data
available from the U.S. Geologic Survey.
5. Evacuation Issues
Bccausc the Tiburon Planning Arca is a pcninsula, an emergency in one area of the
Tiburon Planning Area could be inaccessible to emergency service personnel and
,
vehieles due to the limited number of ways in and out of that area, .
Thc Tiburon Pcninsula has .onc major arterial (Tiburon Boulevard) and one minor arterial
(Paradise Drive) which provide primary road access. Therefore, the susceptibility to road
blockages is high. In the event of an area-wide emergcncy, evacuation'ofthe Tiburon
Planning Area would be difficult if not impossible. Evacuation traffic on Tiburon
Boulevard would cause severe congestion sincc that is the only major access routc for
most of the Tiburon Planning Area,
B. Public Safety Agencies
Tihuron Police Department
The Town's Police Department provides a comprehensive system of law enforcement
services, including patrol; traffic and parking enforcemcnt; and criminal and non-criminal
investigations for thc purposc of cnsuring thc safcty of thc community. The Department
coordinates with othcr Town Dcpartments, govcrnment agencies and the community in

Southern Marin Fire Protection District
The Southern Marin Firc Protection District is an indepcndent special district establishcd
by the Marin County Board of Supervisors on July 1, 1999. Thc district was formed by
the consolidation of the Alto-Richardson Bay Fire Protcction District and the Tamalpais
Fire Protection District.
In February of2004, a .Ioint Powers Ab'feement was enacted, inserting the Sausalito Firc
Department as part ofthc District. The District has 56 full-time employees ineluding a
Chief, Deputy chief, Administrative Services Managcr, Administrativc Aide, 3 Battalion
Chiefs, 9 Captains, 3 Lieutenants, 15 Paramedic/Firefighters and 20
F irefi ghter/Enginecrs.
The District serves the areas of Sa usa lito, Tamalpais Valley, Almonte, Homestead
Vallcy, Alto Bowl, Strawberry Peninsula and the Tiburon Planning area, generally west
ofthe Bel Aire neighborhood, Thc District operates 3 fire stations, including downtown
Sausalito, Tamalpais Valley and Strawberry. The District responds to over 4,000
incidents per year,
C. Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Operations Plan
The Tiburon Town Council and the Belvedere City Council have approved an Emergency
Operations Plan, which identifies the Town and City's emergency planning,
organization, and response policies and procedures. The plan also addresses the
intcgration and coordination with other governmental levels when required.
Thc objcctive of the Plan is to incorporate and coordinatc all the facilities'and personnel
of the Town and City into an efficient organization capable of responding to any
emergcncy, from preparation through recovery.
The Emergency Operations Plan is an extension of the Marin Operational Area
Emergency Operations Plan. This fonnat allows Tiburon and Belvedere to operate and
communicate more effectively in multi-jurisdictional rcsponses, The Operations Plan
will continue to bc rcvicwed, exerciscd periodically, and revised as necessary to meet
changing conditions.
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Federal Emcrgency Managcmcnt Agency (FEMA) .administers two hazard
mitigation programs, thc Pre-Disaster Mitigation Competitive Program which funds
hazard mitigation projects and planning beforc a disaster has oecurred; and the Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program, which is implemented only after a fcdcrally dcelarcd disastcr
has occurred.

The Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to have a completed
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan to receive many of the funds !Tom FEMA's hazard
mitigation programs. The deadline for adoption of this plan is November 1, 2004,
Thc Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) has received a h'Tant !Tom FEMA to
complete the required Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for all of the cities and counties in
the Bay Area as a regional plan. ABAG will develop a "template" plan that is intended to
be flexible in the ways local governments can use the inf(mnation for development of
local plans, or adopt the regional plan with minimal changes.
The Town is currently working with the County of Marin Officc of Emergency Services
to develop a plan to be adopted by local agencies in Marin County.
D. Public Participation
As part of thc public participation program which started thc Gcncral Plan Update
process in thc summcr of 2002, 15 pcrcent of respondents to a survey and participants in
community workshops identified the safe community and lack of crime as a valued'
characteristic of Tiburon.
Additionally, thc two goals below, which wcrc bascd on the existing General Plan, were
scored as very valuable by survey respondents.
. Have response plans for large-scale emergencies, such as earthquakes.
. Guide development away !Tom hazardous arcas, such as unstable slopes and flood-
pronc areas.

3. Recommendation for Refined Safety Element Policies
Policie.~ that are Standard Town Procedure
A number of policies in the current Safety Element are statements of specific strategies
the Town uses during the development review and environmental review process to
ensure that possible impacts of hazards arc adequately addressed.
Staff recommends that these policies be refined to be put in language more suitable for
the General Plan. The table below provides the existing General Plan policy and Staff's
recommended replacements for these policies.

, Combination of Policies SE-I and SE-5: Reducing Environmental Hazards
Policy SE-I of the General Plan is:
,f:xisting Policy to be Replaced: To reduce environmental' hazards by
requiring proper development, adopting effective zoning regulations and.
introducing a public information prol,'fam.
and Policy SE-5 is:
existing Polic)! to be Replaced: Require new construction to be located, to
the maximum extent feasible, in areas where there are no geolol,ric and
non-geologic hazards.
These two policies implement the Town's goal of guiding development away from
hazardous areas. Much of the Planning Area's remaining undeveloped land has areas of
environmental hazards. Staff believes that the proper test for development with respect to
safety is whcther the hazards can be adequately mitigated. Therefore, Staff recommends
the following policy.
Reepmmended Policy: The Town shall permit developmcnt only in those
areas where potential danger to the health, safety, and welfare of the
residents'ofthe community can be avoided or adequately mitigated.
Refinement of Policy SE-13: Storm water Runoff
Policy SE-13 currcntly reads:
Existing Polic)! to be Replaced: Require, as a condition ofprojeet approval
for land divisions, a study of the proposed drainage system for the
dcvelopment; effects of any additional runoff on other drainage systems,
the ability of said drainage systems to convcy runoff volumes generated .
by the I DO-year storm, and recommendations f(lr compliance with Town
dcsib'11 standards, Recommendations of the study may be implemcntcd
prior to project construction. To the extent that each property owncrs is
responsible for excceding the capacity of thc existing system, he/she
should be respon,sible for the cost of improvements to the system. Require
Town (~rTiburon
General Plan Update: Tihuron 2020

August 2004
Page 33
that on-site detention and/or disposal of runoff volumes be equal to
existing runoff volumes from proposed development sites to prevent any
increase in runoff beyond that existing for the 1 OO-year storm.
This policy's language provides a detailed description ofa process for evaluating and
mitigating impacts related to inerea~ed stormwater runoff resulting from development.
Contained within the existing policy arc three policy objectives. Staff recommends that
these be included as three policies in the updated General Plan.
Recommended Policy: Drainage facilities in new subdivisions shall be
designed to accommodate a JOO-year storm.
Recommended Policy: On-site detention and/or disposal of storm water
runoff shall be utilized to ensure that runoff volumes from a site resulting
from a I OO-year storm are not increased by new subdivisions.
Recommended Policy: To the extent that new subdivisions are responsible
for exceeding the capacity of any existing stormwater drainage system, the
applicant shall be responsible for the cost of improvements to the system
such that the capacity is not exceeded upon project completion,
Other statements in the policy describe how these policies are to be met. Statl'believes
that it is not necessary or appropriate in a General Plan to prescribe the process.
The current storm drain system may not be sufficient to accommodate the amount of
runofflikcly to be generated by new impervious surfaces in the foreseeable future.
Without significant drainage improvements, the Town's storm drain system may
deteriorate to a point where flooding and property damage would occur. To address this
issue, the Town adopted a Stormwatcr RunotTImpaet Fcc in April 2004 to upgrade,
enhance, and/or rehabilitate the Town's storm drain system to accommodate additional
runoff resulting from the creation of new impervious surfaces.
Staff recommends that the General Plan include the following policy.
Recommended Policy: To offset the increased demand on the capacity,
operation, and sustainability of the storm drain system, the Town shall
implement the Stonnwater Runoff Impact Feeto uPb>rade, enhance,and/or
rehabilitate the Town's storm drain system.
Policies SE-15 and SE-19: Emergency Routes System
Policy SE-15 of the Safety Element is:
Existing Policy to be Replaced: Establish a system of emergency routes to:
Town (~f" Tihuron

a. Provide a secondary means of access for all portions of thc
Tiburon Planning Area including consolidation of watcr acccss
routes,
b. Ensure fire protection access via public streets or fire roads to all
areas of development, both constructcd and under construction.
\
and Policy SE-19 is:
Existing Policy to he Replaced: Whenever practical, require all developers
to provide at least two acccss routes for fire-fighting equipment for all
proj ects.
Thesc policics arc intended to ensurc that all arcas ofthc Planning Arca can bc reach cd
by emergency vehicles and pcrsonnel. Staff supports the objective of the policies, but
helieves that SE-] 5 is too specific in its recommendations and that SE-19 is rcdundant
with SE-15,
Additionally, access issues must be a cooperative effort of the Town and the fire districts,
as well the various agencies which have jurisdiction or own land within the Planning
Area, such as the County of Marin and the County Open Spacc District. Staff therefore
recommends the following policy as a refinement.
Recommended Policy: The Town shall work with the Fire Districts and
other agencies to maintain adequate access, including secondary access, to
all areas within the Planning Area.
4. Recommendations for New Safety Element Policies
Along with development policies to prevent or reduce the consequences of natural
disasters, it is appropriate to include the actions of the Town which address public safety
in the Safety Element.
Policing
The puhlic participation program rcvcaled that thc lack of crimc is a valued characteristic
ofthe community.
As described in the discussion of the public safety agencies ahove, thc Tihuron Police .
Department conducts a numbcr of community policing and crime prevention programs,
These programs hclp the Police Department stay involved'with thc community and keep
crime levels low. Staff recommends the following policies in support ofthe Policc
Dcpartment.
Recommended Policv: Thc Town shall maintain an adequate and cost-
effective police scrvice to protect the community.
Town o/Tihuron

Recommended Policy: The Police Department shall continue to implement
community policing and crimc prcvcntion programs to strcngthen
relationships between the Departmcnt andthc community,
Emergency Preparedness
The Tiburon Peninsula's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located within the
Tiburon Police Department. The EOC is used as the central location for gathering and
disseminating information, coordinating emergency operations, and coordinating with thc
Marin Operational Area Emergc'l1cy Operations Center in the event of an emergency,
The Town, along with the City of Belvedere, has also adopted the Emergency Operations
Plan, which identifies the Town and City's emergency planning, organization, and
response policies and proccdurcs.
Staff recommends the following policies related tt) emergency preparedness.
Rccommended Policy: In coopcration with othcr public agencies and
appropriate public-interest organizations, the Town shall ensure that it is
prepared to effectively respond to a disaster.
Rccommcnded l'olicv: The Town shall makc provisions to continue
essential public services during and after natural and other disasters.
5. Safety Element Programs
The existing General Plan includes four implementing programs.
SE-a called for the Town to adopt and implement a process for the retention of an
independent certified engineering geologist to review proposed building sites as part of
the development review process,
,Program SE-b was for the Town to adopt a subdivision ordinance to reduce Iiahility of
the Town by requiring the avoidance of developer-huilt drainage systems requiring

SE-c: Where possible, the Town should advisc residcnts ofthc Tiburon
Planning Area of ways that they can reducc geologic, fire and flooding
hazards.
Program SE-d encourages the Town to "make the Tiburon Emergency Plan part of the
General Plan," The Emergency Operation.~ Plan is an important working document. The
Town is activcly implementing the Plan through annual review and update ofthe Plan,
maintaining and improving the Emergency Operations Center and training the statls of
thc Town and City of Belvedere. The Town also conducts practice exercises with the
Marin County Office of Emergency Services,
Incorporation of the Emergency Operations Plan into thc General Plan would require a
General Plan amendment every time new intormation is available and changes are made,
Therefore, Staff recommends that the Emergency Operations Plan not be included in the
General Plan. However, updating the program to reflect the Town's ongoing
commitment to cmergency planning would be appropriate.
Recommended Program: The Town shall continue to review and update
the Emergency Operations Plan to ensure that'it remains up-to-date,
6. Recommendation for New Safety Programs
Reducing Fire Ha,.ard on Open Space Land
Thc Town of Tiburon owns a considerable amount of open space I and, with large
holdings adjacent to Ring Mountain and in the Middlc Ridgc Area. Thesc areas are
predominantly grass lands, which are susceptible to fire.
As part ofthc discussion of the Open Space & Conservation Element, the Planning
Commission and Town Council recommended inclusion of an open space management
plan, including funding sources and a budget item. One Couneilmember said this was
particularly important to control fire hazards.
Staffrceommends that tollowing program bc included in the Safety Element.
Recommended Program:. As part of an Open Space Management prol,'fam,
thc Town shall develop a plan, including funding sources and/or other
opportunitics, such as volunteer l,'fOUPS, for reducing firc hazards and
maintaining firc roads on Town-owned open space,
Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
The Town, like all local governments, is rcquired to have a completed Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan by the Disastcr Mitigation Act of2000 (see discussion above).
Concurrent with the update of this General Plan, ABAG will be preparing a regional plan

which will address this'requirement and thc County of Marin will be coordinating thc
local governments in the County.
Staff recommends the following program if the General Plan is adopted prior to thc
completion of the rel,,>ional plan,
Recommended Program: The Town shall adopt a Local Hazard Mitigation
Plan to comply with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act 01'2000 and
maintain eligibility j{)r hazard mitigation funding from FEMk
7. Deletion of Unnecessary Safety Element Policies
Policy SE-6: Development on Steep Slopes
Policy SE-6 is:
Policy to he Deleted: Thc Town shall avoid approving developmcnt on
slopes cxceeding 40% wherever possible in order to reduce the impact to
the original topography from grading and alteration of topography for
drainage purposes,
This policy is essentially the same as existing Open Space & Conservation Policy OSC-7,
to discourage development on slopes exceeding 40% wherever possible, which is
recommended for inclusion in the updated General Plan, The policy in the Safety
Element provides two reasons j()r this policy: to reduce impact to topography and to
reduce impact on drainage patterns, Staff believes these reasons should be ineluded in
the Open Space & Conservation Element policy and that the policy is more appropriately
an open space and conservation policy instead of a safety policy.
Policy SE-18: Addressing Existing Substandard Conditions
Policy SE-18 addresses conditions which would not meet subdivision standards if they
were proposed today. These conditions occur in the areas ofthe Planning Area which are
the oldest, when devclopmc'l1t occurred before the safety standards of today were
established. The policy is below.
Policy to he Deleted: Encourage provision of the following:
a. In are,as of narrow roadways, on-street parking be limited on travel ways
above 20 feet in width and prohibited on travel ways under 20 feet in
width.
b. ln areas where narrow or no spaces exist between buildings, an adequate
setback to meet safety requirements should be required with new
construction and/or development.
Town (~rJ'jburon
General Plan Update: TUn/ran ]020
DRAFT Noise & S({(efy Elements issues Paper
Augllsl ]()()4
Page 38
c. In areas with insufficient water prcssure for fire fighting purposes, new.
waterlines must be provided with new construction and/or development.
Section "a" of this policy is addressed in Municipal Code Section 23-34, which regulates
parking on narrow streets. The Code requires that at least 12 feet of unimpaired roadway
be left to the side of any parked car.
Section "b" applies to older construction in areas like Downtown where neighboring
buildings have shared walls, or older residential areas where there arc narrow spaces
between buildings. The Town implements the California Building Code, which has
standards for fire safety depending on the use and type of building, Fire safety is
improved over time as these standards are implemented when buildings are improved,
Section "c" is similar to existing Policy SE-20, which is being recommended for
inclusion in thc updated General Plan, and is therefore. not necessary as a separate policy.
Policy SE-23: Engineered Supervision
Policy SE-23 is:
Policy to be Deleted: Rcquire engineered supcrvision of construction in all
dcvelopment areas having unstable or potentially unstable slopes or
substrate or to avoid development of such areas to the 6'featest extent
possible after engineered study.
It is unclear what "engineered supervision" entails, Construction of approved
development projects must comply with approved plans. The Town's building
inspection services ensure that construction is done according to approved plans.
This policy is essentially redundant with those which state the Town's objective
of avoiding unstable slopes. .
Policy SE-24: Special Permits for the Use of Explosives
Policy SE-24 calls on the Town to:
Policy to be Deleted: Require special permits to be reviewed and issued by
the Town Engineer prior to use of explosives for blasting purposes on any
project.
Site development in Tiburon does not typically include the use of cxplosives for blasting
purposcs, This policy addresses a problem which does not exist in Tiburon, and thcref(Jre
is recommended for delction.

AGENDA ITEM
q
Town of Tiburon
TO:
Mayor and Members of the Town Council
FROM:
Kevin Bryant, Advance Planner
SUBJECT: Solar Panel Policy
REVIEWED BY:~
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2004
BACKGROUND
At a General Plan Update public hearing discussing the Open Space & Conservation Element,
the Town Council was unanimous in its support for applying to private projects a recommended
policy for the Town to improve energy efficiency and reduce resource consumption in Town-
owned facilities,
The Town has also recently considered installing a Photovoltaic System on the roof of Town
Hall. Ata meeting in April, the Council directed Staff to develop a solar energy policy prior to
considering the system for Town Hall. The proposed Policy for Solar Collector Panels (Exhibit A
to the Resolution) is intended to implement the direction of the Town Council.
ANALYSIS
The proposed Poiicy for Solar Collector Panels has three objectives: to provide an incentive to
use solar technology, to provide design guidelines for the use of solar panels, and to formalize
the design review process for the installation of solar panels.
Incentive
Community Development Staff believes that waiving building permit fees is the most effective
way for the Town to encourage the installation of solar panels. A complete fee waiver, as
opposed to a partial waiver of permit fees, is easier for Building Division staff to implement, and
the benefit is clear to the community.
Additionally, the cost to the Town would be minimal. Below i9 a table which demonstrates that
implementation of a policy of waiving building permit fees would not result in an appreciable
decline in building permit revenues. During the last fiscal year, solar projects accounted for only
1.2 percent of total building permit revenue.

2001 - 2002 6 $4,083 $703,512 0.58%
Staff has also asked other jurisdictions if the'y provide a similar fee reduction incentive.
Town of Tiburon
STAFF REPORT
The County of Marin offers a number of incentives for the installation of solar energy systems:
. Over-the-counter permits for flush-mounted panels,
. A $235 flat fee for a building permit if no design review is required, and
. Ground mounted panels up to four feet in height are allowed in setbacks.
In addition to the County of Marin program, other cities have implemented the following permit
fee incentives:
. The City of Santa Monica waives building permit fees,
. The City of San Jose waives the building permit tax for solar energy projects, and
. The City of Santa Cruz eliminated the need for a Design Permit and has a flat building
permit fee.
Desion Guideiines
To address the need of preserving the high quality of the built environment in Tiburon, Staff has
drafted the following design guidelines for the installation of solar panels:
General
1. Solar panels and accessory equipment should be integrated into the design of the
building wherever possible.
2. To the maximum extent feasible, solar panels and accessory equipment should be
placed in locations that are the least visible from public streets, public facilities, and
neighboring properties.
Roof.Mounted
3. Roof-mounted solar collector panels should match the roof pitch, and be placed flush
with the surface of the roof.
4. All roof-mounted solar collectors, frames, water tanks, supports, and plumbing should be
adequately screened, and painted a color similar to the color of the roof upon which they
are mounted. If covered frames are used as screening, they should contain a finish
similar to the building's exterior walls.
Ground-Mounted
5, To the maximum extent feasible, ground-mounted solar collectors should be screened
from off-site view through careful placement, and/or the use of landscaping, fencing or
walls.

Desian Review Procedure
In 2002 a number of ground-mounted solar panels began to be installed on the hillsides of
Tiburon. After concerns were raised about the aesthetic impact of these panels, the Community
Development Department established a policy that ground-mounted solar panels would be
reviewed by the Design Review Board, while roof-mounted solar panels may be reviewed at the
Staff level. The Poiicy for Solar Collector Panels would formalize this approach.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council take public testimony and adopt the Policy for Solar
Collector Panels. .

WHEREAS, as part of the update of the Town's General Plan, the Town
has indicated its intent to adopt a policy encouraging "green building";
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon supports energy efficiency and seeks to
provide incentives for property owners who wish to utilize solar power to reduce
the demand on non-renewable energy sources; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Tiburon, while encouraging the use of solar
energy, seeks to maintain the aesthetic qualities of the built environment which
make Tiburon unique.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Council hereby
adopts a Policy for Solar Collector Panels set forth in attached Exhibit A, which
waives building permit fees, provides design guidelines for the installation of
solar collector panels, and defines the design review procedure for solar panels.

TOWN OF TIBURON
POLICY FOR SOLAR COLLECTOR PANELS
(Draft September 2004)
PURPOSE
The purpose of these guidelines is to ensure the Town can, consistent with the
state Solar Rights Act of 19781, encourage the use of solar collector panels.
while protecting and maintaining the valued aesthetic qualities which make
Tiburon unique.
BACKGROUND
As energy costs continue to rise, more property owners are looking to
implement alternatives to reduce energy costs and energy consumption. Solar
collector panels are a popular energy alternative, particular in sunny climates
such as those found in California.
PERMIT FEES WAIVED FOR SOLAR COLLECTOR PANELS
Because the Town values the benefits of reduced energy consumption that
would result from the increased use of solar collector panels, the Town
Council has waived the building permit fees2 associated with installation of
solar panels.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Solar collector panels are passive in nature and absorb sunlight without the
need for moving parts. However, installation of solar panels can change the
appearance of the property or structure upon which they are installed. The
Town of Tiburon takes pride in the quality of its built environment,
implemented through strong design review policies and procedures.
General
1. Solar panels and accessory equipment should be integrated into the design of
the building wherever possible,
I The Solar Rights Act of 1978 prohibits local governments (fom imposing ordinances that unreasonably
restrict or prevent the use of solar energy systems. Ordinanqcs which impose reasonable restrictions on
solar energy systems are allowed. Reasonable restrictions are those which do not significantly increase
cost or decrease efficiency. Significantly means an amount exceeding 20 percent of the cost of the system
or decreasing the efficiency of the system by an amount exceeding 20 percent.
2 Building permit fees shall not include the Business License Fee and the California Seismic Tax, both of
which will be collected.
