20 Persistent challenges with Measure T
• Pay-go funding is not enough to keep up with deferred maintenance that is causing pavement conditions to continue to decline
• Pay-go system does not provide the flexibility needed to build costlier projects faster • Growth in sales tax revenue (4.6% annually) being outpaced by rising construction costs (up 10.7% annually). Over time, this will cut the purchasing power of Measure T
• Narrower focus of current measure does not provide jurisdictions with any flexibility to use local streets and roads money for other transportation priorities Measure U: At-A-Glance
• Measure U will replaces Measure T, a ½ cent sales tax for local streets and roads
• Generational opportunity to break the last major
bottlenecks on Highway 29
• Expands the bike and pedestrian provision to include Class IV bike lanes (current Measure only allows for funding of Class I projects)
• Provides flexibility to bond and bring funding forward to deliver more local streets and road improvements faster See reverse side for more information and benefits regarding replacement measure
From Measure T to Measure U
nvta.ca.gov
Napa County Pavement Condition Index Scores - 2018 – 2022 21 Measure U: Details and Benefits
Bonding – Regional Capital Improvement Projects
Measure U will set aside up to $56 million for regional capital improvement projects through the issuance of bonds for the opportunity to achieve long-held transportation priorities: breaking the last remaining bottlenecks on Highway 29 between Napa and American Canyon. This apportionment will position Napa County to be more competitive in securing state and federal grant funding opportunities to bring these projects to fruition.
Bonding for regional capital improvement projects can help fund:
Highway 29 Improvement Projects:
1. Airport — SR 29/SR 12 intersection – Intersection Improvements at Highway 29 and Jameson Canyon/Airport Road and Highway 12/Kelly Road
2. Highway 29-American Canyon – Operational and Multimodal Improvements on Highway 29 between Napa Junction and American Canyon Road
3. Carneros — SR 29/SR 12 – Intersection Improvements at Highway 29/Carneros Highway
4. Highway Operations and Emergency Evacuations – To allow proactive management of highway facilities and emergency demands such as natural disasters. It includes adaptive messaging signs and battery storage for Vine Transit.
Regional projects provide benefit to the entire county because workers, residents, and visitors to and from all communities use them.
Bonding – Local Streets and Roads Funding
Currently, Measure T’s pay-go system provides annual allocations to jurisdictions for local streets and road improvement and rehabilitation projects.
Under Measure U, jurisdictions will receive more funding over the life of the measure and have the option to issue bonds to build costlier road rehabilitation and improvement projects faster. At right is a chart summarizing changes in this funding:
Flexibility to Meet Current and Future Needs
Bonding – Funding Road Repair and Improvement Projects Faster Measure U will create the flexibility jurisdictions need to get costlier road repair projects funded faster, instead of having to save pay-go allocations over the course of many years to fund priority projects.
Funding Transportation Projects Not Under LS&R Guidelines In response to jurisdictional concerns, the replacement measure will provide flexibility to allocate up to 5% of local streets and roads allocations for projects outside the scope of maintenance and rehabilitation. For example, this could include the Newell Drive extension in American Canyon, Silverado five-way intersection in the City of Napa, or bridge replacement in St. Helena.
Funding to Support Class IV Bike Lanes
While NVTA supports the continued creation of Class I bike lanes like the Napa Valley Vine Trail, in response to jurisdictional input, the replacement measure will also provide funding to create Class IV buffered bike lanes in places where Class I bike lanes are not feasible.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
In March 2023, the Napa Valley Transporta/on Authority (NVTA) circulated a call for projects to all Napa County jurisdic/ons to apply for Transporta/on for Clean Air Funds (TFCA). TFCA funds are provided through the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The City of American Canyon submiBed an applica/on for three level 2 dual port charging sta/ons to be deployed at three City owned facility parking lot loca/ons: City Hall, Napa Junc/on Community Center, and Philip West Aqua/c Center. On June 21, 2023, the NVTA Board awarded to the Citya grant request for an amount of $230,526.
Following the award of the grant funding, City staff began developing a more detailed scope of work for the proposed project and researching available technology on the market so that the project could be added to the Fiscal Year 24/25 Capital Project Budget. During this course of research, staff discovered a solar charger op/on, Beam EV ARC 2020 by Beam Global that meets the grant requirements, is a quick deploy of equipment (no construc/on necessary), and is a proven off grid approach to charging City and community vehicles. The solar solu/on will resolve the costs and delays due to site constraints that don't allow for direct access to a power source as well as delays with the PG&E applica/on process for upgrading exis/ng power sources to accommodate charging sta/ons. The EV ARC 2020 also has an emergency preparedness power panel op/on that can be utilized as a power source during emergencies, disasters, power outages and scheduled events. 33 A request for a quote was made to Beam Global in February 2024 for two dual port solar EV ARC 2020's to be deployed at Napa Junc/on and the Philip West Aqua/c Center. The quote includes the solar array, ChargePoint dual plug chargers on each unit, baBery upgrade, emergency power panel, custom branding (City logo on each device), pre-paid remote monitoring and management system for 6 years, and a 12-month manufacturer warranty. The equipment is trailered to the site and will fit within an exis/ng parking stall space. In addi/on, Beam Global is offering a first /me incen/ve which is providing an addi/onal 12-month manufacturer warranty on the system if purchases are made prior to June 30, 2024.
Beam Global was awarded a contract with the California State Department of General Services (DGS) that allows local government agencies to "piggyback" procurements when consistent with the applicable regulatory requirements. The City's 2023 Purchasing Policy allows for the City to u/lize DGS's contract in lieu of following a separate competitive solicitation.
Staff is recommending approval of the resolu/on to create the capital project in advance of FY 24/25 and authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order for two EV ARC 2020 dual port chargers. It is an/cipated that the EV ARC chargers will be deployed in the next 60-90 days with the remaining charging system for City Hall to be tradi/onally designed and installed with grid power at a future date.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City was awarded $230,526 in Bay Area Air Quality Management District Transporta/on for Clean Air Funds (TFCA, Fund 262) from NVTA with the intent to reimburse eligible expenditures. A total capital project (CF24-0100) budget of $230,526 is being requested.
The quote from Beam Global for two dual port EV ARC Charging sta/ons is $169,485.12 but does not include a cost for tax or shipping therefore staff is recommending a purchase order authoriza/on for an amount not to exceed $190,000. The remaining project funds in the amount of approximately $40,000 will be used for the third charging station location at City Hall.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15301 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 1 exemp/on of exis/ng facili/es of Sec/on 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula/ons and said exemp/on is not negated by any excep/on under Sec/on 15300.2 of said Regulations.

Your EV ARC™ 2020 is an American-made product and will be fabricated in our San Diego, California facility.
EV ARC™ 2020 systems are capable of generating and storing enough clean, solar electricity to charge up to 265 e-miles in a single day. Thanks to its battery storage, it can charge electric vehicles day or night, or even during periods of cloudiness, and is also an excellent source of emergency/alternative power. The electricity produced is clean and renewable, reducing 100% of greenhouse gas emissions from ICE vehicles and electric vehicles powered from the utility grid.
The EV ARC™ 2020 is deployed in minutes and has not required any kind of permitting in the over 100 jurisdictions which are currently benefitting from it. It is deployed without any construction or electrical work and does not require civil or electrical engineering, foundations, trenching, electrical connections or upgrades. It will produce energy reliably and consistently but will not generate a utility bill or fail to operate because of a black out or other utility grid failure. It’s no wonder that Google, the City of New York, the State of California and many others across the U.S. and internationally trust the EV ARC™ product line to charge their electric vehicles.
The patented EV ARC™ 2020 is the world’s first and only fully autonomous, transportable, solar-powered electric vehicle charging system.
Designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.S., the EV ARC™ 2020 measures 7.5' X 18' at the base and fits inside a standard parking space without reducing available parking while being ADA compliant.

EV ARC™ 2020
The EV ARC™ 2020 from Beam Global is the only rapidly deployed, 100% renewable, transportable but permanent EV charging solution. Grid independent, it deploys in minutes with no permitting, no construction, no electrical work and no utility bill. It will charge electric vehicles with the EV charger brand of your choice, even during grid outages.
Sustainable EV Charging
Each EV ARC™ system generates and stores its
own electricity and tracks the sun to generate up
to 25% more energy. Battery storage allows you to
charge during the night, inclement weather and
power outages. It fits inside a standard parking
space and because vehicles easily park on the
base pad you won’t lose a single spot. Reaching
as many as 12 vehicles, you can charge up to six
EVs at the same time.

CASE STUDY
Held on Alameda Island in California, CAL EMSA,
local police and urban search and rescue squads
held a three day training for first responders
focused on anti-terrorist readiness. Two EV ARC™
units were deployed to power field operations and
a field hospital. Each EV ARC™ had an Emergency
Power Panel (included in FEMA’s Authorized
Equipment List). Exercises included mock civilian
rescues and medical triage in various situations.
The two EV ARC™ units were combined to create
a 208V, three-phase, 12 kW microgrid for clean
quiet energy day and night. Replacing diesel
generators typically used eliminated the need to
store, transport and handle fuel, and eliminated
the noise, noxious fumes and fuel management.
Because EV ARC™ systems are portable and 100%
off grid, cities can build EV charging infrastructure,
energy resiliency and emergency preparedness
with EV ARC™ systems.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Green Island Road Reconstruction
The Green Island Road Reconstruc0on and Widening Project (TR16-0700) (“Project”) consists of reconstruc0ng 1.9 miles of exis0ng roads, including Green Island Road (from Paoli Loop to Jim Oswalt Way), Jim Oswalt Way, MezzeHa Court, Commerce Boulevard (north of North Slough), and Hanna Drive. In 2016, the City entered into an agreement (2016-15) with CONSOR North America, Inc. (“Consor”; previously Quincy Engineering) to, among other things, complete the design and prepare the bid package(s) necessary to deliver the Project. The road project plans were completed in February 2021 and essentially shelved.
70 As part of the road reconstruc0on, Green Island Road will be widened on its north side (from Paoli Loop to Commerce Boulevard) to accommodate one (1) travel lane in each direc0on and a two-way center turn-lane, as well as a Class I trail. Because of the widening component on Green Island Road, the Project requires the reloca0on of exis0ng overhead u0lity lines and associated facili0es. The u0lity work is being undertaken via the Green Island Road Rule 20A/B U0lity Underground Project (TR16-0703). Having started in late 2022 and now nearing comple0on, the u0lity undergrounding project encountered several unforeseen issues which could only be addressed via field adjustments (i.e. deviations from the original design). The unforeseen conditions included multiple utility conflicts involving gas, water, recycled water, and storm drain facili0es. The field adjustments that were affected to address the unforeseen issues carry the consequence of affec0ng the road design, which thus needs to be updated.
Addi0onally, the City’s Devlin Road (Segment H) and Vine Trail Extension Project (TR14-0100) was completed in the Fall of 2022. The as-built condi0on of the new roadway’s intersec0on with Green Island Road likewise requires modifica0ons to the Green Island Road design. Similarly, updates to the road design are also necessary to accommodate the as-built condi0ons of the two improved railroad crossings on Green Island Road that were carried out by California Northern Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad. Lastly, the road design needs further updates to work around right-of-way acquisition hurdles, and also to bridge sidewalk gaps on Commerce Boulevard and Hanna Drive.
Given the combina0on of the above issues, staff has worked with Consor to develop addi0onal design scope and fee to update the Project’s Road reconstruc0on plans and specifica0ons. Staff has received a proposal in the amount of $383,500 for Consor to deliver a completed bid package ready for advertisement, which staff believes is reasonable.
Green Island Road Utility Undergrounding
Furthermore, with respect to the Green Island Road Rule 20A/B U0lity Underground Project, the aforemen0oned unforeseen issues have required increased 0me and effort on the part of Consor, which is providing Construc0on Management services under a separate agreement (2022-A166). To account for the addi0onal effort and extended construc0on 0meline, staff has coordinated with Consor and has received a proposal in the amount of $100,000 to manage the undergrounding project to completion.
Next Steps/Milestone Dates
PG&E, AT&T and Comcast relocate wires into new joint trench and remove poles (Underway, 71 completed by August 2024)
Consor completes 100% design (June 2024)
Council approval of Offering Statement and Authorizing Bond Issuance (June 4, 2024) Bid advertisement (end of July 2024)
Bond issuance (Late July/Early August 2024)
City Council award bids (September 3, 2024)
Roadway construction begins late fall 2024)
Project complete (Summer 2026)
Note, the cri0cal path of the above schedule is dependent upon CalTrans issuing an encroachment permit for utility work by the end of April 2024.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
Proposed Amendments
The FY 23-24 Capital Budget and Project Budget have sufficient alloca0on to cover the addi0onal cost of both proposed amendments via the Project's Community Facili0es District (CFD) funds (Fund 281). Furthermore, the proposed amendment for construc0on management services is s0ll within the authorized overall construction budget (per 2022-R101) for the utility undergrounding work.
While the Project Budget also has federal funds from the Department of Commerce - Economic Development Administra0on, the use of such funds, as s0pulated by the grant agreement, can only be used for expenses directly related to the road construc0on effort. Hence, engineering design service costs and construction management service costs do not qualify.
Road Construction - CFD Bonds
In light of the overall progress of the Project to date, it is an0cipated that the road reconstruc0on project will be ready for adver0sement this summer. Hence, the City needs to move forward with securing the remaining CFD Project funding.
Green Island Road Community Facili0es District No. 2018-1 (“CFD 2018-1” or the “District”) was 72 formed in 2019 to assist in the financing of the acquisi0on and construc0on of certain public facili0es within the Green Island Road Project. Through various City Council ac0ons, the City Council declared the necessity to incur bonded indebtedness in a maximum principal amount not to exceed $14,000,000.
In December 2019, City Council adopted a Resolu0on authorizing the first issuance of Special Tax Bonds for and on behalf of the District. The Special Tax Bonds were issued in the amount of $5,165,000 and closed in February 2020. The ini0al proceeds have been u0lized to fund efforts and work including, but not limited to, right-of-way acquisi0on, project design, railroad reconstruc0on, u0lity undergrounding, and construc0on services. To date, an0cipa0ng the inclusion of the above amendments as expenditures, approximately $77,000 remains from the initial proceeds.
Hence, as shown in the current FY23-24 CIP, the City desires to issue a second series of Special Tax Bonds for and on behalf of the District to complete the financing plan of the Project. The financing approval is expected to be on the City Council agenda sometime in June 2024.
The City requires the exper0se and services of various consultants to assist with the second series of Special Tax Bonds and the City Manager intends to secure professional services proposals from (1) Jones Hall to perform Bond Counsel and Disclosure Counsel services in connec0on with the Financing; (2) NHA Advisors LLC, to perform Municipal Advisor services in connec0on with the Financing; (3) Piper Sandler, to serve as Underwriter or Placement Agent in connec0on with the Financing; and (4) NBS, to provide Bond Issuance and Disclosure Services.
Staff requests that the City Council adopt the resolu0on authorizing the City Manager to nego0ate and execute such professional services agreements required for the 0mely comple0on of the second series of bonds for completion of the Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Recommended Ac0ons (to approve contact amendments) is not a “Project” subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The Recommended Ac0on to ini0ate contracts for planning studies is Statutorily Exempt from CEQA (§15262).

Increase Project Budget for the Adult Activity Center Flooring Replacement
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu/on increasing the project budget for the Adult Ac/vity Center Flooring Replacement (PR23-0900) from $50,000 to $80,000 and authorizing a budget transfer from Civic Facili/es Renovation and Replacement Fund in the amount of $30,000 to PR23-0900.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City is in the process of replacing the flooring at the Adult Ac/vity Center per City Capital Project, PR23-0900. The capital project includes new flooring throughout the building as well as new double closet doors in the assembly room.
During due diligence of the awarded flooring contractor, Cash Carpet Service, Inc., discovered that the base flooring is concrete and had never been treated with a waterproof membrane to protect the existing flooring and ensure the life cycle of the product.
Cash has provided an es/mate to prepare the concrete for new carpet /le and linoleum flooring by applying an epoxy waterproof membrane and cemen//ous top coa/ng. The addi/onal work is more than the adopted project budget therefore City staff is recommending a budget increase so that a contract change order can be processed and the flooring work can be completed. The closet doors will be installed by a separate contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT
The adopted project budget is $50,000 to complete the flooring replacement and build double closet doors at the Adult Ac/vity Center. Cash Carpet Service, Inc.'s construc/on contract is $39,900 with a proposed contract change order es/mate of $27,500 for a total of $67,400. The total es/mated cost by Cash Carpet will exceed the current project budget by $17,400 with no funding available to complete the double closet doors. It is recommended that the project budget be increased by $30,000 with an addi/onal transfer from Fund 657, Civic Facili/es Renova/on and 79 Replacement Fund to PR23-0900 for a new total project budget of $80,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15301 - The Project is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") under the Class 1 exemp/on of exis/ng facili/es of Sec/on 15301 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regula/ons and said exemp/on is not negated by any excep/on under Sec/on 15300.2 of said Regulations.

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
General Plan Annual Progress Report
California law requires every city and county to adopt a long-term General Plan that expresses a long- term shared vision of a Healthy, Equitable, Resilient, and Economically Vibrant community. As the cons6tu6on of development, General Plan policies are fulfilled through City func6ons related to land use decisions, municipal service delivery, capital improvement projects, and funding priori6es for a variety of municipal services.
Sec6on 65400(b) of the State of California Government Code requires planning agencies to report every year to the legisla6ve body (i.e.: City Council) and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) on the status of the General Plan and implementa6on progress. The four basic purposes of the Annual Progress Report (APR) are as follows:
Assess General Plan progress toward fulfilling goals, policies and implementation measures.
Provide information to improve implementation or consider General Plan modifications.
Correlate land use decisions made during the repor6ng period, and General Plan goals, policies and implementation measures.
Inform local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development. 82 A copy of the 2023 General Plan Annual Report is included as Attachment 2.
Listed below is a summary of major General Plan Implementation Actions in 2023:
General Plan Amendments
In 2023, the City amended the General Plan 4 times:
1. 6th Cycle Housing Element;
2. General Plan Amendment to delete Growth Control Policy 1b;
3. Watson Ranch Land Use Amendment; and
4. Paoli Watson Annexation Land Use Amendment.
Major Planning Activities that Support General Plan Goals In 2023, there were many efforts that further the General Plan. These include policy development, public educa6on, administra6ve decision making, and celebra6on of achievements. Listed below in order of calendar month are highlights:

The table is not a comprehensive list of all policies and ac6on items in the General Plan; many policies/ac6ons are under ongoing implementa6on and may not be listed here. The table begins on Page 8 of the Annual General Plan Report (ANachment 2).
Housing Element Annual Progress Report
To address housing needs in California, State law requires each jurisdic6on to adopt a Housing Element as a chapter of the General Plan. The Housing Element includes the City’s housing strategy to plan for exis6ng and projected housing demand. Key to this strategy is the Housing Element iden6fies adequate sites to accommodate the City’s share of regional housing needs. The Housing Element also includes an evalua6on that helps remove local policies, regula6ons, and requirements that may constrain housing development for all income levels.
Housing Element law requires that ci6es provide an Annual Housing Element report on progress toward mee6ng the RHNA alloca6on and Housing Element policy implementa6on. ADer review by the Planning Commission and City Council, the aNached report will be submiNed to the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) as required by Title 25 of the California Code of Regula6ons. The Housing Element Annual Report is included as Attachment 3 (Appendix A to the General Plan Annual Report). 2023 Housing Approvals and Construction
In 2023, the City approved en6tlements for 325 dwelling units, building permits for 84 dwelling units, and certificates of occupancy for 124 dwelling units.
Units Entitled: “En6tled” refers to a land use approval, such as a Design Permit or Planning review of a building permit. In 2023, the City entitled 325 dwelling units. These include:
87 January - 30 townhomes and flats in the Watson Ranch Specific Plan (WRSP).
April - the Sun Square Mixed-Use Project in the Broadway District Specific Plan (BDSP), consisting of 20 one-bedroom apartments in four mixed-use buildings.
August - the Promontory Subdivision, consis6ng of 216 single-family dwellings and 54 junior ADUs.
5 ADUs throughout the City.
Units PermiNed: The City issued building permits for 84 dwelling units in 2023. The Ar6san Subdivision (WRSP) began construc6on on 52 single-family dwelling units, and the Harvest Subdivision (WRSP) began construc6on on 26 single-family dwelling units. The Building Division also issued 6 ADU permits.
Units Completed: The City issued Cer6ficates of Use and Occupancy for 124 dwelling units in 2023.
The Ar6san Subdivision completed 71 single-family homes and the Harvest Subdivision completed 51 single-family homes. The City also finaled 2 ADUs.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
The City’s Regional Housing Needs Alloca6on (RHNA) is assigned by the Associa6on of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). This alloca6on is intended to accommodate American Canyon’s “fair share” of the regional housing demand in the Bay Area. Our RHNA alloca6on for the period between 2023 – 2031 is 622 dwelling units allocated among these income groups:
169 very low-income dwelling units; and
109 low-income dwelling units; and
95 moderate-income dwelling units; and
249 above-moderate dwelling units.
The income groups are defined by HCD.
“Very Low” consists of 0 to 50% of the Napa County Area Median Income (AMI). “Low” consists of 51 to 80% AMI.
“Moderate” consists of 81 to 120% AMI and “Above-Moderate” consists of over 120% AMI.
In April, HCD provides each county’s AMI informa6on. For 2023 Napa County AMI informa6on, see Attachment 4.
2023 RHNA Status
The HCD Annual Housing Element Progress Report forms must be used to report building permits issued. Progress toward target alloca6ons is measured by the number of permits each jurisdic6on has issued for housing units at each income level during the planning period. In 2023, the City issued building permits for 84 dwelling units. As shown on Table 1 below, the City achieved 28% (173 of 622) of the RHNA requirement in 2023 disaggregated into income category groups.

Housing Element Policy Implementation
In addi6on to accommoda6ng the RHNA alloca6on, the City is required to adopt policies that facilitate housing for all incomes and special needs groups. The Housing Element includes approximately 70 implementation measures.
Table D of the APR lists Housing Element policies and explains the status of City implementa6on of each policy during 2023. In the 6th Cycle Housing Element programs are designated A through NN. This year’s standouts include:
Program C: Municipal Code Updates
In April 2023, the City updated the Municipal Code for Emergency Shelter by dele6ng residen6al parking requirements, see Resolution 2023-03.
Program D: General Plan Update
In April 2023, the City removed Growth Limits to remove constraints to housing produc6on through Resolution 2023-05.
Program F: Accessory Dwelling Units
In 2023, the City issued 6 ADU building permits and approved occupancy for 2 ADU permits. In July 2023, the Planning Commission approved the Promontory Subdivision, which includes 54 JADUs.
Update to ADU ordinance and updates to ADU guides are scheduled for 2024.
Program J: Evaluate Parking Standards
In April 2023, the Planning Commission approved the Sun Square Mixed Use Project parking study that demonstrated that the shared nature of office and residen6al uses allow for a 34% decrease in required parking (reduced parking from 61 to 40).
89 Program P: Density Bonus Program

https://bit.ly/3TFKaNH.
Program CC: Facilitate Construction of Large Units
In December 2023, staff updated the Construc6on of Large Units brochure, link here:
https://bit.ly/3Rw4UEF.
Program FF: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
In 2023, the City completed 3,756 linear feet of Class 2 Bicycle facili6es and 4,000 linear feet of Class 3 bicycle facili6es. The expansion of the bicycle network improves biking and walkability for individuals who may not have access to or choose not to use a private automobile.
Housing Element Implementation Municipal Code Updates
On June 30, 2023, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) cer6fied the Housing Element. American Canyon was the first jurisdic6on in Napa County to obtain a Housing Element certification.
The Housing Element includes approximately 70 programs to Affirma6vely Affirm Fair Housing in American Canyon and achieve the City’s Regional Housing Needs Alloca6on (RHNA) for the next 8 years (2023-2031). Among the Housing Element programs, Implementa6on Program C requires several Municipal Code updates to reduce constraints to housing produc6on. Programs required to be accomplished during the 6th Housing Element Cycle are included in ANachment 5. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Municipal Code updates on February 22, 2024 and recommend their approval.
Municipal Code updates include the following:
1 . Allow low barrier naviga6on centers as a permiNed use in the Community Commercial (CC) zoning district in compliance with Government Code Section 65660 and 65668.
A Low Barrier Naviga6on Center is a temporary living facility with case managers that help people experiencing homelessness connect with resources to move into permanent housing. The code amendment would permit this form of housing in the Community Commercial zoning district.
2. Allow small residen6al care facili6es as a permiNed use in the Rural Residen6al Estate Hillside (RRH) zoning district in compliance with Government Code Section 65583.
A Small Residen6al Care facility is a home for six or fewer persons in need of personal services, supervision, protec6on or assistance essen6al for sustaining the ac6vi6es of daily living, or twentyfour-hour care for six or fewer foster children. Per State Law, this facility is already permiNed in all single family zoning districts. The Rural Residen6al Estate Hillside zoning district (Canyon Estates) 90 was overlooked and will be corrected with this zoning code amendment.
3. Allow manufactured housing subject only to the restrictions of single-family uses .
Manufactured housing is pre-assembled in a factory and delivered to a property on a permanent founda6on. This zoning code amendment would remove approval criteria and subjec6ve design standards that does not exist for "stick-built" single family homes.
Examples of subjective approval criteria standards to remove from the zoning code include:
“harmonious with context of surrounding neighborhood.”
“compatibility in design and appearance with residences in the vicinity.” “protect neighborhood integrity.”
“harmonious relationships between manufactured homes and surrounding uses, etc.” Examples of design standards to remove from the zoning code include:
“exterior siding material compatible with adjacent residential structures.” “shiny or metallic finishes are prohibited.”
“a specific roof material.”
“eaves or roof overhangs of not less than one foot.”
“finished floor elevation no higher than twenty inches above the exterior finished grade.” “exterior materials and roofing proposed for any garage shall be the same as those materials used on the main structure.”
4. Update Floor Area Ra6o (FAR) standards in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) and Community Commercial (CC) zoning districts to allow a minimum Floor Area Ra6o (FAR) of 1.0 for projects with three to seven units or 1.25 for projects with eight to 10 units.
This new standard is required by Government Code Sections 54237, 54237.7, and 54239.4. 5 . Remove the condi6onal use permit requirement for large farm employee housing in the Community Commercial CC zoning district.
The Employee Housing Act (Division 13, Part 1 of the Health and Safety Code) requires employee (farmworker) housing consis6ng of 12 units, or 36 beds must be permiNed by right. The City allows larger farmworker housing in the Community Commercial CC zoning district with a condi6onal use permit. The zoning code amendment would remove the conditional use permit requirement. 6 . Update the Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (American Canyon Municipal Code (ACMC) Chapter 19.39) consistent with an October 4, 2023 State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) letter.
The HCD leNer iden6fies a variety of amendments needed to ensure the Accessory Dwelling Unit 91 Ordinance remains in compliance with State Law. A copy of the HCD is included as ANachment 6. A summary of changes identified in the HCD letter include the following:
Technical language cleanups, such as:
Amend definitions to Specific “One” ADU instead of “additional” ADUs.
Add allowance of a multifamily ADU concurrent or after the multifamily is built.
An ADU size is unlimited when an accessory structure is converted to an ADU.
Allow 3 ADUs on a parcel: One attached, one detached, and one Junior ADU.
No fire sprinkler is required if the primary residence does not have fire sprinklers regardless of how large the ADU addition is.
ADUs cannot be denied if there are unrelated code violations on the property.
Junior ADU standards are revised to become more lenient, such as:
No limits on electric service.
No prohibition of propane or natural gas appliances.
Subjec6ve language removed “food prepara6on area and cabinets are reasonable size in relationship to the JADU”.
No limit on kitchen sink waste line.
Parking Standards Reduced, such as:
No parking required when car share vehicle is located within one block.
No parking required when the ADU applica6on is submiNed at the same 6me for a SFD or MFD.
Subjective Design Standards removed, such as:
“Compatibility of accessory dwelling units with the neighborhood.” “Comply with any City adopted objective design standards applicable to ADUs.” Approval Standards:
City must approve or deny an ADU application within 60 days.
If the ADU is denied, we must identify reasons.
ANachment 1 includes proposed changes to the municipal code. Addi6ons are shown with a double underline. Dele6ons are shown with strikeout text. Reasons for proposed changes are explained with a justification paragraph that follows the amended text.
Staff received one comment on the proposed Housing Element Municipal Code Updates. A copy of the letter and staff response is included as Attachment 7.
The Housing Element includes approximately 70 implementa6on measures. As 6me permits, staff will bring forward additional municipal code amendments from the implementation measure list.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
92 The City is required to complete the annual Housing Element Progress Report to comply with State Law. The comple6on of the annual report also enables the City to par6cipate in many housingrelated grant programs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The General Plan and Housing Element Annual Reports and Housing Element Municipal Code Updates are exempt from environmental review under CEQA because the amendments are consistent with State law that preempt any inconsistent local ordinance. Thus, the City’s ac6on is not crea6ng a new land use regula6on and it can be seen with certainty that no environmental impacts will result from the City’s ac6on. Consequently, and in accordance with CEQA Sec6on 21084(a) and both Sec6on 15002(i)(1) – lack of Local Jurisdic6onal Discre6on – and Sec6on 15061(b) (3) – General Rule of Exemption – of the CEQA Guidelines.

JUSTIFICATION: Government Code Sections 54237, 54237.7, and 54239.4, local agencies may not impose an FAR standard less than 1.0 on a housing development project that consists of three to seven units, or less than 1.25 on a housing development project that consists of eight to 10 units.
SECTION 5: Amend American Canyon Municipal Code Section 19.11.040 to remove the conditional use permit requirement for large farm employee housing in the CC zoning district as follows:
19.11.040 Permitted uses.
Table 1 of this section sets forth the permitted and conditionally permitted uses for each commercial district. A "P" designates a permitted use. A "C" indicates a conditionally permitted use subject to approval of a use permit by the planning commission. An "M" indicates a minor use permit is required pursuant to Chapter 19.42. If no letter is found opposite a particular use, it is not permitted in that district.

JUSTIFICATION: The City must allow farmworker housing developments by right in agricultural zones.
Because the City has no agricultural zones, farmworker housing must be conditionally permitted in the CC zoning district. The CC zone is not an agricultural district, so the conditional permit requirement in that zoning district is consistent with the Employee Housing Act (see Housing Element Chapter 5 Constraints).
SECTION 6: Adopt the updated American Canyon Municipal Code Chapter 19.39 “Accessory Dwelling Units” as follows:

General Plan Annual Progress Report 2023
City of American Canyon
2 March 2024
Purpose of this Document
California law requires every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that expresses a long-term shared vision of a Healthy, Equitable, Resilient, and Economically Vibrant community. As the constitution of development, General Plan policies are fulfilled through City functions related to land use decisions, municipal service delivery, capital improvement projects, and consideration of funding priorities including potential service level changes.
Section 65400(b) of the State of California Government Code requires planning agencies to provide an annual report to their legislative body and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation. The four basic purposes of the annual report are as follows:
• Assess General Plan implementation progress consistent with the goals, policies and implementation measures.
• Provide information that may lead to needed General Plan modifications to improve implementation. • Correlate land use decisions made during the reporting period, and General Plan goals, policies and implementation measures.
• Inform local agency progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing development.
This APR draws significantly on published annual reports, such as the State of the City, Community Development published monthly status reports, the American Canyon Police Annual Report, and the Fire District monthly newsletter. All these reports reflect priorities that fulfill General Plan policies. This year’s General Plan Annual Report looks back at 2023 and the City’s progress toward implementing the General Plan.
A copy of the Housing Element Annual Progress Report is included in this report as “Appendix A” to complete the General Plan review. The 2023 Calendar Year Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Report was presented to the Planning Commission on February 22, 2024 and the City Council.
General Plan Background/Element Status
Following incorporation in January 1992, the City adopted a General Plan in 1994. The General Plan includes the following elements: 1) Land Use, 2) Housing, 3) Economic Development, 4) Circulation, 5) Utilities, 6) Public Services-Facilities, 7) Parks- Recreation, 8) Natural – Historic – Cultural, 9) Geology, 10) Flood Hazards, and 11) Noise. The General Plan also includes a Bicycle Plan and Pedestrian Plan as Appendix 1 and 2 to the Circulation Element.
Since the original General Plan adoption, the City has incrementally amended the Land Use Element many times, the most recent was April 4, 2023. This most recent amendment deleted Goal 1B and associated policies related to Growth Control policies from the original General Plan because the outdated Goal is inconsistent with State Law.
The Circulation Element was comprehensively updated in 2013 with incremental amendments since that time, the most recent was June 4, 2019. The 2019 Circulation Element amendment reflected changes needed to the Circulation plan to accommodate the Watson Ranch Specific Plan. 111

City of American Canyon
3 March 2024
The Housing Element has been comprehensively updated consistent with State mandates, the most recent was January 31, 2023 and certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in May 2023.
Since 2020, the City has been preparing a comprehensive Technical update to the General Plan. At this time, an Administrative Draft Internal review of a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) has been prepared. Following staff review of this document, the City will release the PEIR for a 45-day public review period and commence General Plan public hearings leading to its adoption by the end of 2024.
City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan ultimately depends on how it is implemented and maintained over time. The General Plan is a fundamental document that provides local control over the physical development of our City. All Capital Improvement Projects, Land Use Ordinances, Development Approvals, Impact Fees, Infrastructure dedications and Conditions of Approvals must be consistent with the General Plan.
General Plan Amendments
State law allows the City to amend its General Plan no more than four times per year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. In 2023, the City amended the General Plan four (4) times:
• 6
th Cycle Housing Element;
• General Plan Amendment to delete Growth Control Policy 1b; • Watson Ranch Land Use Amendment; and
• Paoli Watson Annexation Land Use Amendment.
Monitoring Long-Term Growth
The City monitors long-term growth through consistency among General Plan Elements working together to connect future growth with needed infrastructure. Implementing actions, such as traffic, water, parks, and other impact fees helps pay for the impacts of new development. Master Plans, such as the Urban Water Master Plan, the 5- Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and other long-range infrastructure plans address impacts of land use growth.
Specific Plans, such as the Broadway District Specific Plan and Watson Ranch Specific Plan tie future growth to infrastructure needs. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) also plays an important role in evaluating proposed development with infrastructure needs. 112

monitor the status of
current development
projects listed as credits
toward RHNA capacity
and will remove and
replace units assumed on
sites if development
within the planning
period becomes
infeasible.
The City will consider the
need to affirmatively
further fair housing in
the inventory sites by
designating sites for
lower- and moderateincome households in
the western portion of
the city.
The City will monitor
progress toward
program objectives and
implement additional
measures as necessary if
the metrics are not being
met.
Identify housing sites
suitable to
accommodate 622

Dear Brent Cooper:
RE: Review of American Canyon’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance under State ADU Law (Gov. Code, § 65852.2)
Thank you for submitting the City of American Canyon (City) accessory dwelling unit (ADU) Ordinance No. 2023-03 (Ordinance), adopted April 4, 2023, to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD appreciates the speed with which the Ordinance was adopted following HCD’s Letter of Technical Assistance dated February 7, 2023. HCD has reviewed the Ordinance and submits these written findings pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (h).
HCD finds that the Ordinance does not comply with section 65852.2 in the manner noted below. Under that statute, the City has up to 30 days to respond to these findings.
Accordingly, the City must provide a written response to these findings no later than November 3, 2023.
The Ordinance addresses many statutory requirements; however, HCD finds that the Ordinance does not comply with State ADU Law in the following respects:
• 19.39.040 – Definitions – The Ordinance defines an “Accessory Dwelling Unit” as having “one thousand two hundred square feet or less....” However, Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (j)(1), defines an “Accessory Dwelling Unit” as “an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence.” Although the City may impose maximum sizes for ADUs, some types of ADUs may not have size limitations. For example, ADUs created pursuant to Government Code section 65852.2, subdivision (e)(1)(A), (C), and (D) do not have size limitations.
Therefore, the City must remove or amend the referenced Ordinance language.
