EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Palo Alto contracts with the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management to remove and destroy weeds, as defined in Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 8.08. This hearing allows all property owners affected and listed on the County’s 2023 Weed Abatement Program Commencement Report (Attachment B) to be heard and have their objections and comments considered by the Council before the Council finalizes the list of properties ordered to abate weed nuisances in the City in 2023, under Resolution 10087. An overview of the program and annual calendar for the steps involving City Council action is provided in Attachment C. BACKGROUND The Council adopted Resolution 10087 on December 19, 2022, which declared weeds to be a nuisance and ordered the abatement of that nuisance as called for in Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 8.08 (Attachment A). Resolution 10087 provided for a public hearing date of February 27, 2023 and required notice to interested property owners and the public. ANALYSIS The Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture and Resource Management maintains the contract to abate weeds within the City of Palo Alto. Following City Council’s December 19, 2022 adoption of Resolution 10087 declaring weeds to be a nuisance and ordering abatement thereof in 2023, the Department of Agriculture and Resource Management took steps to notify each affected property owner by mail of the proposed weed abatement action on their respective properties, and posted, on the public notice bulletin board, a list of the properties affected. The Department of Agriculture and Resource Management has furnished copies of the property listing to the City Clerk and the City Fire Marshal. The City Clerk also posted and published notice of the hearing as required. At this public hearing, property owners may appear and object to the proposed weed destruction or removal. After the hearing and consideration of any objections, the Council may sustain or overrule any or all objections. The Council may remove properties from the weed abatement commencement report if objections are sustained. After finalizing the affected property list at the public hearing (Attachment B), the County will be asked to perform the abatement work to destroy and remove any weeds. FISCAL/RESOURCE IMPACT All charges for the weed abatement services are included as a special assessment on bills for property taxes levied against the respective lots and parcels of land, which are considered liens on these properties. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The Council adopted Resolution 10087 on December 19, 2022, declaring weeds to be a nuisance and ordering the abatement of that nuisance as called in Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 8.08. The Commencement Report was posted publicly in Palo Alto on February 8, 2023. The notices for the City Council’s February 27, 2023, public hearing ran in the newspaper on February 10, 2023, and February 17, 2023, and the Santa Clara County Agriculture and Resource Management weed abatement program mailed out notice of the public hearing to all addresses on the commencement list on December 21, 2022. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Santa Clara County has determined the Weed Abatement Program be Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15308 (Class 8: Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment).

Alto Weed Abatement The City of Palo Alto contracts with the Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management (SCCDAEM) to remove and destroy weeds in its efforts to mitigate potential fire hazards (as defined in Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 8.08). The entire weed abatement program is coordinated by the SCCDAEM. Abatement proceedings must follow a legally established course. This is an annual process with weed abatement occurring in late Spring. City of Palo Alto involvement is limited to the following 3 steps for City Council: 1)(Nov-Dec) City of Palo Alto Declares Weeds a Nuisance to allow for County abatement and sets a later date (Jan-Feb) for a public hearing to review the Annual Commencement Report (list of” nuisance” parcels). 2)(Jan-Feb) Public Hearing to review the Annual Commencement Report and approve the County abatement proceedings. At this public hearing, property owners may appear and object to the proposed weed destruction or removal. After the hearing and consideration of any objections, the Council may sustain or overrule any or all objections. Upon adoption of the resolution confirming the weed abatement commencement report and ordering weed nuisances abated, the County will be asked to perform the abatement work to destroy and remove any weeds. 3)(June) Public Hearing to approve the invoices for the abatement work performed by the SCCDAEM. The Santa Clara County Weed Abatement Program The Santa Clara County Department of Agriculture and Environmental Management and the City of Palo Alto work together to protect our community from fire. The purpose of the Weed Abatement Program is to prevent fire hazards posed by vegetative overgrowth and the accumulation of combustible materials. Typically, a property is placed on the program list by a County Weed Abatement Inspector who identifies a potential fire hazard on the property. The Palo Alto Fire Department (PAFD) & Code Enforcement also report addresses of concern and forward (verified) complaints from residents to the SCCDAEM. Residents can report addresses of concern to PAFD, code enforcement, or directly to the County Weed Abatement Program. Santa Clara County program staff annually inspect “nuisance” parcels at the beginning of the fire season, which is typically April 30th for CPA parcels. The Weed Abatement program is entirely funded from fees charged to residents. All parcels on the list will be charged a basic inspection fee. If the parcel is not in compliance at the time of inspection, the property owner will be charged an additional failed inspection fee, and they will receive a final courtesy notice as a reminder to abate their weeds within 2 weeks. If the weeds are not abated by the property owner, the work will be completed by the County contractor. The property owner will pay the contractor’s fees plus a County administrative fee. All fees will be included in their property tax bill. Attachment C Properties that meet and maintain the minimum fire safety standards will only be charged for the annual fee. These properties will be removed from the list after three years of compliance.
