Financial lmpact Summary: Alternative Two - Threshold Value of $250,000+: This analysis is based
on 883 (50% of 1,766) annual building permits with related CMPs. Revenues generated by this program are
estimated to be 9127,000 in permit fees and $205,000 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of
$332,000 and $1,660,000 over five years. However, if the program is successful, fine revenues should
decline over time. Expenses for the permitting, review, and analysis (Engineering Assistant lll - (2) FTE) is
estimated at $172,000 (includes capital expense for vehicles in year one), annually and $692,000 over five

ANALYSIS
Other communities with similar challenges, including Los Altos, and Pasadena, California,

The requirement of a CMP is recommended in order to increase parking availability in
commercial and residential areas.
To this end, the City Attorney's Office and Administration, including representatives from the
City Manager's Office, Building Department, Code Compliance, Planning Department, and

construction projects with a value of $100,000 or higher have an approved Construction
Management Plan (CMP) in order to obtain a building and/or grading and shoring permit.
Construction Management Plan (GMP)

for all projects with a value to be determined (see analysis below), an approved CMP is
required. The CMP shall minimize construction employee vehicle parking impacts to the
surrounding neighborhood (commercial or residential) and adjacent properties and their
occupants. The CMP must:
o Reduce construction employee vehicle parking impacts related to the proposed
construction'. Contain construction related parking to project site and areas approved by the City;. Reduce construction noise impacts to the greatest extent technically and
economically feasible; and. Minimize off-site dust and air quality impacts per best management practices.
Definitions:
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this division, shall have the meanings

commercial projects.

FISCAL IMPACT
The two (2) alternatives below are based on threshold levels for requiring a CMP and their
related fiscal impacts:
1. Alternative One - Threshold Value of $100,000+:
This analysis is based on permitting, including: processing, review, inspection, and
enforcement of 835 annual building permits with related CMPs.
Revenues generated by this program are estimated to be $120,000 in permit fees and
$205,000 in fine revenues, for total annual revenues of $325,000 and g1 ,625,000 over five
years. However, if the program is successful, fine revenues should decline over time.
