DISCUSSION On March 15, 2016, the City Council approved the Mater Dei High School Parking Structure and School Expansion Project as shown on Exhibit 1. On May 15, 2018, the City Council approved the rezoning of acquired parcels needed for the project (Amendment Application No. 2018-02) and a General Plan amendment revising the land use designation for the project (General Plan Amendment No. 2018-02), but continued the Third Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01 which includes Mater Dei requested funds for three separate offsite improvement packages that were mitigation measures to their parking structure as follows: 1) A new traffic signal at Bristol Street and Saint Andrew Place at an estimated cost of $482,000; 2) Pavement rehabilitation of Saint Andrew Place at an estimated cost $250,000; and 3) Construction of a connector alley between Berkeley Street and Occidental Street at an estimated cost of $614,000. Item 1 may be eligible for Measure M2 funding as early as Fiscal Year 2019/20 or thereafter. Item 2 may be eligible for SB1 or Measure M2 funding as early as Fiscal Year 2019/20 or thereafter. Item 3 is not eligible for SB1 funding as currently defined in legislation. Exhibit 2 shows the list of priority projects programmed for SB1 and for Measure M2 funding. That table may be used by the City Council to identify a project or projects that would be removed, or that 6513-1 Third Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01 Mater Dei High School Parking Structure Expansion Project June 5, 2018 Page 2 would be delayed in favor of public improvements Item 1 and/or Item 2 above. The funding options analysis is discussed under Background below. BACKGROUND 1) Traffic Signal at Bristol St /St Andrew PI — Est. Cost $482,000 The City's Bristol Street Project did not include a traffic signal at the intersection. Instead, a median on Bristol Street was intended to be installed through the intersection. The Mater Dei Parking Structure project proposed a traffic signal, which would allow left tum in and out access between Bristol Street and Saint Andrew Place, with a break in the Bristol Street median at Saint Andrew Place. The traffic signal was warranted through the Traffic Study portion of the Environmental Impact Report. Staff requested the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to provide Measure M2 competitive funding to fund the installation of the traffic signal as part of the Bristol Improvement project between Saint Andrew Place and Warner Avenue. OCTA indicated that any realized savings from an earlier phase (i.e. design or right-of-way phase) of that project segment may potentially be used to fund the signal, subject to approval of OCTA's committees and board. Unfortunately, no savings have been realized from those earlier phases. Potential funding sources include Measure M2 Fairshare (MM2FS). A description and analysis of the funding sources are included below. Delay of the signal installation would be possible with a temporary median constructed on Bristol Street. However, additional thru-traffic in the Santa Ana Memorial Park neighborhood would likely result from students leaving the parking structure in the afternoon. 2) Pavement Rehabilitation — St Andrew PI. Bristol to East Project Limit — Est. Cost $250,000 The requirement to remove and replace the asphalt was imposed during site plan to mitigate the pavement damage during construction and impacts from the additional traffic on Saint Andrew Place accessing the parking structure. Staff has re-evaluated the pavement condition and determined that a 2" grind and overlay treatment of the existing asphalt after completion of the structure would sufficiently handle the additional vehicle traffic. The revised requirement is estimated to cost about $250,000, resulting in a cost savings of $446,000 to Mater Dei. Because there is no significant grant funding available to cover the cost of the Saint Andrew Place pavement rehabilitation, the potential funding sources if the City were to fund the work would be Measure M2 Fairshare and SB1 funding. Delay of the pavement rehabilitation is possible; however, project construction and additional traffic would accelerate distress of the pavement and require full reconstruction soon after parking structure completion. 65B-2 Third Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01 Mater Dei High School Parking Structure Expansion Project June 5, 2018 Page 3 3) Street Removals and Alley Connector Construction - Estimated Cost $614,000 An alley is required to connect the portions of Berkeley Street and Occidental Street remaining after vacation of the westerly portions of those streets and Baker Street. While the alley will be located in the public right of way, an easement will facilitate ingress and egress to Mater Dei parking structure for special events with access to and from Saint Andrew. The construction work would include the removal of the interfering portions of the vacated streets. This alley is needed to allow for trash trucks and other vehicles to ingress and egress the streets without having to back up. The connector cannot be delayed. There are no grant funding sources available to cover the cost of the removal and construction. The potential funding sources if the City were to fund the work would be Measure M2 Fairshare. Potentially Available Funding Sources for Capital Projects • Measure M2 Fairshare - The City expects to receive $4.85 Million in MM2FS in FY 2018/19. In the current draft of the FY 2018/19 Capital Improvement Program, the revenue is proposed to fund various programs such as Local Street Preventative Maintenance, Alley Improvements, Pavement Management, Bike Lane Project Development, and Traffic Safety Project Development. Also, starting in 2021, $600,000 is committed to offset the local share of the OC Streetcar project. • SB1 - The funding pursuant to Section 2030(b) (1) of the California Street and Highways Code funds made available by the program shall be used for projects that include the following: o Road maintenance & rehabilitation. o Safety projects. o Railroad grade separations. o Complete street components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project. o Traffic control devices. If the City's Pavement Condition Index (PCI) falls below 80, SBI funds become less flexible and may only be used for Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation. Unfortunately, the pavement management report that was just completed in May 2018 has the City's overall PCI at 77 which means SBI funds can only be used for Road maintenance & rehabilitation. The City expects to receive $5.67 Million in SB1 funding in FY 2018/19. However, this money is programmed for the list of projects approved by City Council on April 17, 2018, and submitted to the California Transportation Commission by the May 1, 2018 deadline. L• Third Amendment to Development Agreement No. 1999-01 Mater Dei High School Parking Structure Expansion Project June 5, 2018 Page 4 Based on the current SBI guidelines, the requested Saint Andrew Place pavement rehabilitation could be included as early as FY 2019/20. The Bristol Street/Saint Andrew Place traffic signal does not qualify for SB1 funds because the City's PCI is 77 and does not meet the requirement of PCI 80 or above. The alley connector does not meet the criteria of eligible projects. Gas Tax — This source is no longer available for Capital Projects. While the City expects to receive roughly $8.67 Million in Gas Tax during FY 2018/19, $4.3 Million is used for repayment of the local street improvement bond issued in 2007. The annual revenue has been steadily decreasing primarily due to more fuel efficient vehicles. There are no excess monies available after funding programs such as maintenance and operations of existing_ signals, pothole repair, Omnibus Concrete, and landscape medians. Therefore, the City is no longer able to use Gas Tax as a local match source for grant funds, capital projects, or other discretionary uses. Staff has developed a draft list of projects for future City Council consideration to be funded with FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 SB1 and Measure M2 monies (Exhibit 2), assuming the City would receive similar allocations for those fiscal years. If the City programs the requested Bristol Street/Mater Dei Traffic Signal and/or the Saint Andrew Pavement Rehabilitation projects in FY 2019/20, then an estimated $732,000 worth of projects from the list would be delayed. Delaying any of the listed projects will result in significantly higher costs for the same project if it is deferred. Additionally, continued receipt of the funding is not guaranteed, as repeal of the SB1 funding measure may be on the November 2018 ballot. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT This item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective #2 (create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies). FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Funding impact will be identified based on City Council directioyr-,, / Q . P.E.
