2 6.1.a MARIPOSA PLANNING STAFF REPORT From: Sarah Williams, Director Commission Meeting Date: October 6, 2017 PROJECT: PROPOSAL: SUMMARY: PROPONENT: WORKSHOP FOCUS: COMMISSION ACTION: Mariposa County General Plan Implementation Program; County Project No Commission Workshop 1 of a Comprehensive General Plan Implementation Program; a strategic program to guide successful completion of General Plan Implementation Measures The Mariposa County General Plan, adopted in December 2006, provides the longrange vision and policy direction defining what the County is and wants to become. The General Plan s implementation is described as the foundation for the future guiding the County s growth and development for 20 years. The Board of Supervisors implements the General Plan through development and adoption of ordinances and standards (an implementation measure carries out a policy of the General Plan). The General Plan is now 11 years old. While some implementation activities have occurred, implementation progress has been limited by resources (time and financial), the availability of experienced staff, the extent of community interest and involvement, and the complexity of the implementation tasks. The Implementation Program will establish a strategic plan for the county to follow, to ensure successful completion of remaining implementation measures. The program will enable priorities to be established and addressed. The program will assist the Board of Supervisors in identifying needed resources to complete General Plan Implementation. County of Mariposa This workshop is scheduled pursuant to Task 2 of the Implementation Program (see attachment - scope of services). The Commission will work on Refining the General Plan Implementation Checklist. The focus of Task 2 is to identify outstanding (yet-to-be-completed) measures on the General Plan implementation checklist and to augment the checklist with additional items that may be considered related to changes in state law or emerging local planning issues. The results of Task 2 and this workshop will be used to develop the strategic Implementation Work Plan. No formal action is recommended or scheduled. The Commission will conduct a workshop with the public, and planning and consultant staff, to discuss Tasks 2.1 and 2.2 and provide feedback.

Consultant representatives who will attend the workshop include Project Manager Jeff Henderson, AICP and Assistant Project Manager Sara Allinder, AICP. RELATED PROJECT (HOUSING) The General Plan Implementation Program does not address the Housing Element, General Plan Chapter 8. The County is currently working on Program 2.1 of the Housing Element, through a separate effort: The County shall undertake a comprehensive study to evaluate and select cost-effective and financially sustainable housing program development and administration. The study shall contain conclusions and recommendations and a schedule, represented both graphically and in text, for implementation by the County of ongoing, permanent housing program administration and management initiatives resulting in the development, maintenance and rehabilitation of housing for all economic segments of the community and unique housing needs BACKGROUND INFORMATION The General Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 18, The underlying goals and policies of the GP were developed during a six-year long public planning process, including public hearings. An accompanying programmatic Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan was prepared, revised and circulated twice. The adopted General Plan and EIR mitigation measures have been in effect since December 18, The General Plan is a broadly-based policy document consisting of sixteen elements (chapters), with goals, standards and implementation measures designed to shape the future growth and development of the county, while preserving and enhancing the rural character of the County s natural resources and small communities. The General Plan consists of the following elements: Table 1: Mariposa County General Plan Elements Mandatory Elements Year Adopted Last Comprehensive Update Last Amendment Land Use Element 2006 N/A 2015 Circulation, Infrastructure, and 2006 N/A N/A Services Element Attachment: Staff Report Workshop 1 (7626 : General Plan Implementation Program - Workshop 1) Packet Pg. 55

6 6.1.b Scope of Services Our proposed scope of services for Phase 1 is presented below. For each task, we identify products associated with the work to be performed. Our corresponding budget identifies a detailed level of effort and budget to develop the strategic implementation work program (see Budget and Rate Schedule, below). General estimates are then provided for key implementation items anticipated to be completed under Phase 2 of this work effort (see Estimated Level of Effort for Anticipated Future Tasks, below). These more general estimates will be refined through subsequent task orders. Task 1. Kickoff Meeting and Ongoing Project Management The objectives of this task are to kick off the project and set expectations and protocols for project management Kickoff Meeting Key members of the Michael Baker team will attend a half-day kickoff meeting with County staff. The kickoff meeting is an opportunity to establish project goals and to confirm how the scope of work, schedule, and budget will be executed. In this meeting, we will: Discuss the current status of the General Plan implementation measures. Identify pertinent County documents, policies, and other regulatory documents (e.g., specific plans, community plans, policy direction from the Board of Supervisors). Confirm state law changes related to the General Plan that should be addressed by the strategic implementation work plan. Discuss and finalize a list of emerging local policy issues facing the County that are not currently addressed by the General Plan. Establish preferences for communications, including project status reports and frequency of coordination calls with County staff. Refine and detail the project scope, budget, and schedule, as necessary. Meetings: In-person meeting with County staff and key members of the Michael Baker team Deliverables/Outcome: Summary of General Plan implementation measure status Refined scope of work, schedule, and budget 1.2. Ongoing Project Management Ongoing and active project management is essential to ensure a successful project. This task provides for project management by the Michael Baker team throughout the project, including overall project management, coordination of team members and tasks, preparation of invoices and updates, general consultation with the County, strategic coordination team meetings, and quality control reviews. We recommend conference calls every other week throughout the project. These calls are an opportunity to review tasks in progress, share information, and review key milestones and deliverables. We will generate agendas and notes for each Attachment: 2 GP Implementation Strategy_Scope of Work_ (7626 : General Plan Implementation Program - Workshop 1) R e sponse to RFP Revised June 2017 General Plan Implementation Program 1 Packet Pg. 58

7 6.1.b team meeting for the County s records and use in updates to the Board of Supervisors or interested parties. We recognize that the Michael Baker team will also communicate with the County team by and phone as needed throughout the project, independent from the scheduled calls. Meetings: Scheduled coordination calls every two weeks between County staff and consultant team Deliverables/Outcome: Coordination call meeting agenda and notes Monthly progress status memos to accompany monthly invoices Task 2. Refine Implementation Checklist The focus of this task is to identify outstanding (yet-to-be-completed) measures on the implementation checklist and to augment the checklist with additional items that may be considered related to changes in state law or emerging local planning issues Review and Refine Status of General Plan Implementation Checklist Measures Building from discussions at the kickoff meeting, Michael Baker will identify implementation measures from the existing General Plan implementation checklist that have been completed, are in progress, or are outstanding. For those measures that are in progress or outstanding, we will develop and apply a list of criteria to evaluate each measure. These criteria may include resource availability (e.g., funding, staff, expertise), regulatory compliance timelines, order of operations (measures that may trigger or delay other associated measures), or relationship to an identified emerging local planning issue. The results of this evaluation will be used to assign preliminary completion time frames for in-progress or outstanding implementation measures. Meetings: No in-person meetings anticipated Deliverables/Outcome: Refined General Plan implementation checklist 2.2. Review Existing General Plan Policies for Consistency with Current Issues Michael Baker will review existing General Plan goals and policies in light of current issues, including: Consistency with state legislation approved since the General Plan was last amended in 2006 (as noted in the Project Understanding). Applicability to emerging local planning issues (as described in the Project Understanding). This review will determine the relevancy of the existing General Plan goals and policies and identify policy topics that should be addressed by new programs in the implementation checklist. Time frames for completion of proposed updates will also be identified.

8 6.1.b Deliverables/Outcome: Technical memorandum summarizing policy topics to be addressed 2.3. Commission and Board of Supervisors Study Sessions (2) Michael Baker recommends conducting study sessions before the Commission and the Board of Supervisors to gather input on the refined implementation checklist (Task 2.1) and the technical memorandum identifying policy topics to the addressed (Task 2.2). Input from these study sessions, along with input received from Task 2.4, will be used to prepare a revised implementation checklist, including current issues, to be used in developing the strategic implementation work plan (Task 3). This task assumes two study sessions: one before the Commission, followed by one before the Board of Supervisors. At County staff s discretion, this task could be modified to be held as two joint study sessions before both decision-making bodies. Meetings: Study session with Commission Study session with Board of Supervisors Deliverables/Outcome: Meeting presentations and related materials Summary of input from Commission and Board of Supervisors 2.4. Staff Meeting to Review Checklist and Policy Topics Michael Baker will meet with County staff, including key staff from other departments and agencies, to review the refined implementation checklist (Task 2.1) and the technical memorandum identifying policy topics to be addressed (Task 2.2). Input received from the Commission and Board of Supervisors (Task 2.3) will also be presented. Input from this meeting will be used to prepare a revised implementation checklist, including current issues, to be used in developing the strategic implementation work plan (Task 3). Meetings: In-person meeting between County staff and key members of the Michael Baker team Deliverables/Outcome: Revised implementation checklist 2.5. Commission and Board of Supervisors Study Sessions (2) Michael Baker recommends conducting study sessions before the Commission and the Board of Supervisors to ensure concurrence with recommendations proposed in the revised checklist and to discuss new programs emerging from policy topics before the strategic implementation work program is prepared. A key objective of these study sessions would be to work with decision-makers to establish preliminary priorities for new and existing/outstanding implementation programs. This task assumes two study sessions: one before the Commission, followed by one before the Board of Supervisors. At County staff s discretion, this task could be modified to be held as two joint study sessions before both decision-making bodies.

9 6.1.b Deliverables/Outcome: Meeting presentations and related materials Revised prioritized implementation checklist following Board of Supervisors session Task 3. Develop Strategic Implementation Work Plan The focus of this task is to develop a strategic implementation work plan for the Mariposa County General Plan. The work plan will act as a guiding document, describing how future implementation tasks will be managed and a recommended process for executing the tasks Prepare and Refine Draft Strategic Implementation Work Plan Michael Baker will prepare a draft strategic implementation work plan. As an initial work item, we will collaborate with County staff to develop a format and outline for the work plan that makes the document easy to read, trackable, and accessible. At a minimum, the strategic implementation work plan will include the following components. Project management plan. This section will describe an overall project management plan, clearly delineating consultant and County staff responsibilities for future task orders. The project management plan will establish protocols for communication, project status updates, and the anticipated process for preparation and approval of future task orders identifying a detailed scope, budget, and schedule to implement programs identified in the work plan. Prioritized task lists. This section will identify anticipated future tasks in priority order based on the work completed in Task 2. Based on our initial review of the County s existing implementation checklist (and subject to refinement based on the findings of Task 2), we anticipate that the following types of tasks will be presented and prioritized, resulting in subsequent task orders to complete the identified work. Each type of task identified could result in multiple task orders, and the strategic implementation work plan would identify the priority order in which they should be prepared. Prepare community and area plans. Update zoning and subdivision regulations. Update building codes and standards, grading ordinance, public works standards, public facilities and service standards, and other County codes. Create/update design guidelines and standards. Establish/refine resource management programs (e.g., agriculture, water, mineral resource, historic resources). Coordinate related planning efforts (e.g., economic development, transit, arts, housing), including those conducted by external agencies. Modify/update development project review process and requirements. Complete other tasks determined to respond to emerging issues (e.g., marijuana regulations) or state law requirements (e.g., climate change adaptation). Within each type of task identified above, subtasks will be developed to identify the desired scope of work to be performed for each. Engagement plan. This section will describe options available to engage the community while completing tasks identified in the work plan. It will outline the various forms of engagement to be completed (e.g., workshops, advisory committee meetings, Attachment: 2 GP Implementation Strategy_Scope of Work_ (7626 : General Plan Implementation Program - Workshop 1) R e sponse to RFP Revised June 2017 General Plan Implementation Program 4 Packet Pg. 61

10 6.1.b surveys, pop-ups, study sessions), matching desired forms of engagement for each identified task. For each task, the plan will delineate the desired levels of recommendation and decision-making for each task (e.g., advisory committees, Commission, Board of Supervisors), what level of engagement is anticipated with other agencies, and which County departments should be engaged in the effort. Monitoring and reporting. This section will establish mechanisms for monitoring progress toward completion of individual tasks, along with a reporting template to be used by County staff to provide an annual report on progress toward implementation of the General Plan to the Board of Supervisors. Michael Baker will prepare a draft version of the strategic implementation work plan for County staff review. Following receipt of a single set of consolidated County staff comments and a meeting with County staff to discuss comments, Michael Baker will prepare a revised draft of the work plan for review and discussion with the Commission and the Board of Supervisors. Meetings: In-person meeting between County staff and key members of the Michael Baker team Deliverables/Outcome: Outline for strategic implementation work plan Draft strategic implementation work plan Revised draft strategic implementation work plan 3.2. Commission and Board of Supervisors Joint Study Session (1) Michael Baker will conduct a joint study session before the Commission and the Board of Supervisors to review the revised draft strategic implementation work program developed in Task 3.1. A key outcome of this study session would be to gain decision-maker support for the updated work program, and potentially to kick off a number of initial work items. We recommend that this study session be held jointly between both decision-making bodies. At County staff s discretion, this could be completed in a sequential manner similar to Tasks 2.3 and 2.5. Meetings: Joint study session with Commission and Board of Supervisors Deliverables/Outcome: Meeting presentations and related materials 3.3. Prepare Final Strategic Implementation Work Plan Following the joint study session and confirmation with County staff of desired changes, Michael Baker will revise the strategic implementation work plan to prepare a final version to be used to support scheduling, funding, and execution of future task orders.

12 Task 2.1. Refine Implementation Checklist Discussion Draft Recommended Criteria 6.1.d Purpose Task 2.1 is to refine the County s existing General Plan implementation checklist with additional information that will inform development of the Strategic Implementation Work Plan. Building from discussions at the kickoff meeting held on August 17, 2017, Michael Baker has identified a list of recommended criteria that will be used to evaluate each General Plan implementation measure on the checklist. The intent of the criteria is to provide the project team with the necessary information to assign preliminary timeframes for completion to those in-progress or outstanding implementation measures. The refined checklist, including the preliminary timeframes, will be presented for discussion to the Commission and Board of Supervisors at study sessions. The primary objective for providing this discussion draft of the recommended criteria, outlined below, is to get confirmation from County staff prior to assigning the criteria to the implementation checklist. Recommended Criteria Table 1 identifies the recommended criteria and includes the purpose of the criteria as well as the possible responses for each criteria for incorporation into the refined implementation checklist. The responses identified are preliminary and may be adjusted, as needed, during review and refinement of the implementation checklist. We also anticipate defining some of these responses further following review of this discussion draft. These criteria are, in part, based on the discussion at the kickoff meeting to ensure that they reflect issues that were relevant to the County in identifying priority tasks moving forward. The criteria were also developed to facilitate sorting of the implementation measures into like groups. This will allow the project team to consider alternative methods for organizing the Strategic Implementation Work Plan. The criteria are also anticipated to be applied to the policy topics identified in Task 2.2 once they are confirmed for incorporation into the revised implementation checklist, following the Commission and Board of Supervisor study sessions. The list of criteria below does not include all factors that may be relevant in evaluating the priority level for implementation measures. Other factors, such as primary and supporting responsible departments and agencies, will be reflected in the refined implementation checklist deliverable. Organizational Status of Measure Table 1. Recommended Criteria Criteria Purpose Possible Responses Type of Implementing Action Confirms if the implementation measure has been completed, is in process, or has not yet been initiated. Consideration may be given to those measures that have been initiated to maintain momentum. Implementation measures that are on-going activities will also be noted. Groups the implementation measures into like categories based on the type of action required for implementation. This will facilitate the consolidation of Completed In Process Not Initiated On-Going Community and Area Plans Zoning and Subdivision Attachment: 4a Task 2.1 Recommended Criteria_ (7626 : General Plan Implementation Program - Workshop 1) Mariposa County General Plan Implementation Program: Task 2.1.

13 6.1.d Task 2.1. Refine Implementation Checklist Discussion Draft Recommended Criteria Criteria Purpose Possible Responses Mitigation Measure Applicability Importance or Priority work tasks by topic, as feasible, for consideration in the Strategic Implementation Work Plan. Note: This criteria will inform the assignment of primary and secondary responsible departments and agencies, to be included in the refined implementation checklist. Identifies those implementation measures that are legally required for mitigation in accordance with the General Plan Environmental Impact Report. Identifies implementation measures by geography. This will facilitate the consolidation of work tasks by geography for consideration in how tasks may be prioritized in the Strategic Implementation Work Plan. Note: This criteria will support the Trigger Plans and Programs criteria and allow the project team to identify potential target areas to maximize priority task work efforts. Links implementation measures to relevant issues of local importance or to an identified County priority. This will allow the project team to be responsive to emerging local planning issues or to a priority goal or objective that may be of special interest to stakeholders and/or decision makers.

14 6.1.d Task 2.1. Refine Implementation Checklist Discussion Draft Recommended Criteria Criteria Purpose Possible Responses of Resources Funding Staffing Order of Operations Timeline for Compliance Trigger Plans and Programs Identifies an anticipated general level of cost for completion of the implementation measure. This will allow the County to gauge relative funding needs for completion of a measure and may inform the annual budgeting process. Identifies an anticipated general level of staff time needed for completion of the implementation measure. This will allow the County to gauge the relative level of staff commitment necessary to complete the measure and help inform staffing discussions. Note: Staff time may be County staff or consultant staff. Lists a completion deadline for applicable implementation measures that either have a regulatory timeline associated with their completion, or for which the General Plan has identified a completion date. Note: A designation may be included in the response noting whether the date for compliance is being driven by a regulatory requirement or by the General Plan. Identifies those implementation measures that are triggers for or facilitate future actions. The intent is to identify implementation measures that, if not completed, are causing delays for future actions. Futures actions may include: - Initiation or completion of another implementation measure. - Ability to adequately support on-going work efforts. - Processing of development projects. Delays in the processing of development projects may include prohibiting certain projects because a plan or program is not yet adopted or requiring development projects to go through an additional work effort because a plan or program is not yet in place. 1 (least resources required) (most resources required) 1 (least resources required) (most resources required) Date for Compliance Yes No Attachment: 4a Task 2.1 Recommended Criteria_ (7626 : General Plan Implementation Program - Workshop 1) Mariposa County General Plan Implementation Program: Task 2.1.
