BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
General Plan Annual Report
California law requires each city and county to maintain a long-term General Plan that outlines a shared vision for a healthy, resilient, equitable, and economically vibrant community. As the City's guiding document, the General Plan directs decisions on land use, municipal services, capital projects, and funding priorities.
Under Government Code 65400(b), the City must submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) to the City Council and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI). The APR:
Evaluates progress toward General Plan goals, policies, and implementation measures.
Identifies opportunities to improve implementation or recommend updates.
Summarizes how land use decisions made during the year align with the General Plan.
Reports on the City's progress toward mee=ng its share of regional housing needs and removing governmental barriers to housing.
In 2025, the City updated the General Plan with an addi=onal emphasis on sustainability. This year's report, in addi=on to evalua=ng fulfillment of general plan policies and new programs in process, highlights policies and ac=ons to advance the new General Plan's sustainability goals. A>achment 1 includes the 2025 General Plan Annual Report.
Housing Element Annual Report
California requires every city to adopt a Housing Element as part of its General Plan. This document acts as the City's long-term plan for mee=ng housing needs - iden=fying where housing can be built 13 and reducing barriers to development for all income levels.
The City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element (2023-2031) on January 31, 2023, and it was cer=fied by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on June 30, 2023. We are now in the third year of this 8-year cycle.
Annual Reporting Requirements
Each year, the City must submit a Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) by April 1 to both HCD and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innova=on (LCI). The APR tracks housing activity across three stages:
1. Entitlements - Land use or Design Permit approvals
2. Building Permits - Authorization to start construction
3. Certificates of Occupancy - Construction completion and readiness for residents The 2025 APR includes new state-mandated repor=ng metrics, such as tracking ministerial vs. discre=onary approvals (AB 1743) and use of streamlining laws (SB 6 and AB 2011). A full copy of the report is included as Attachment 2.
2025 Housing Production Summary
Housing Element repor=ng includes all three stages of housing unit development (En=tled, Permitted & Completed). The RHNA allocation progress is measured by building permits issued only.
Entitled: 104 units
Crawford Way 100 multifamily units
4 ADUs
Permitted: 156 units
Domaine Apartments on Oat Hill102 units at
Harvest at Watson Ranch 36 single family homes
Sorrel at Watson Ranch 5 single family homes
Enclave at Canyon Estates 1 single family model home
6 ADUs
Completed: 78 units
Harvest at Watson Ranch 70 homes
8 ADUs
Housing Element Policy Implementation
Highlights from program implementation include:
Program F - ADUs:
17 affordable ADU permits issued, which exceeds the 8-year goal (16 units) within just three years. 14 Program P - Density Bonus:
Crawford Way used the State Density Bonus Law to increase capacity from 87 to 100 units.
Program II - Staffing & Technology:
Launched OpenGov permiGng soHware in September 2025 to improve processing =mes and transparency.
Program JJ - Sustainability:
The 2040 General Plan update (November 2025) added 200+ sustainability (green leaf) policies.
The City is also par=cipa=ng in the countywide Regional Climate Ac=on and Adapta=on Plan, expected in 2026.
A full review of all Housing Element programs is included as Attachment 3.
Upcoming Development Projects for 2026
Domaine Apartments - 291 units; Parcel B received temporary occupancy in 2026; Parcel A under construction.
Sun Square Mixed-Use - Proposed increase from 20 to 30 affordable units; no construc=on expected in 2026.
Enclave at Canyon Estates - 35 homes; model home construc=on began in late 2025; work continues through 2026.

Next Steps
The Planning Commission reviewed the Housing Element Annual Report on February 26, 2026. AHer the Council review, staff will transmit the final APR to HCD and LCI by April 1, 2026.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Economic Development and Vitality: "A>ract and expand diverse business and employment opportunities."
FISCAL IMPACT
The City is required to complete the annual General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report to comply with State Law. The comple=on of the annual report also enables the City to par=cipate in many housing-related grant programs.

City of American Canyon

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 2025 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 2025 Calendar Year Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Report was presented to the Planning Commission on February 26, 2025 and the City Council on March 17, 2025.
General Plan Background/Element Status
Following incorporation in January 1992, the City adopted its first General Plan in 1994. Since then, the General Plan has been amended numerous times. In 2025, the City completed and adopted a comprehensive General Plan update. The updated Plan includes the following elements:
• Land Use,
• Housing,
• Mobility,
• Utilities,
• Culture, Environment & Sustainability,
• Parks, Recreation & Open Space,
• Environmental Justice, and
• Safety.
The Housing Element had been previously adopted and certified in 2023. Additional components of the 19 General Plan Annual Progress Report 2025
City of American Canyon
3 February 2026
General Plan include the Bicycle Plan (Appendix 4‑1), adopted in 2020; the Pedestrian Plan (Appendix 4‑2), adopted in 2017; and the Napa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Appendix 9‑1), adopted in 2020. The comprehensive General Plan update was evaluated under a Program Environmental Impact Report (SCH# 2022070038).
City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan depends on how well it is implemented and maintained over time.
As the City’s primary guide for managing physical development, the General Plan provides the foundation for local decision‑making. All Capital Improvement Projects, land use ordinances, development approvals, impact fees, infrastructure dedications, and conditions of approval must remain consistent with the General Plan.
General Plan Amendments
State law limits cities to no more than four General Plan amendments per year. These amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time, and a single action may include multiple amendments. In most cases, modifying the General Plan requires a City Council public hearing and environmental review consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Aside from the Comprehensive General Plan Update, the City did not adopt any additional General Plan amendments in 2025. However, in 2025 the Napa County Local Agency Formation Commission approved an expansion of the City of American Canyon’s Sphere of Influence (SOI). This action required the City to update several General Plan exhibits to reflect the new SOI boundary. These exhibit updates were incorporated into a nonsubstantive City Council confirmation vote in November 2025 (Resolution 2025- 92).
Monitoring Long-Term Growth
The City monitors long‑term growth by ensuring consistency among all General Plan elements so that future development is coordinated with the infrastructure needed to support it. Implementation tools— such as traffic, water, parks, and other impact fees—help fund the improvements required to serve new development. Master plans, including the Urban Water Master Plan, the Five‑Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), and other long‑range infrastructure plans, also guide how the City addresses the impacts of land‑use growth.
Specific Plans, such as the Broadway District Specific Plan and the Watson Ranch Specific Plan, further link future development to necessary infrastructure. In addition, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) plays a key role by requiring evaluation of how proposed projects relate to infrastructure capacity and needs.
Major Development Applications
The City processed the following major development applications during Calendar Year 2025. A current list of projects and status is available on the City’s website at this link address:
https://www.americancanyon.gov/Work/Community-Infrastructure-Development/ConstructionDevelopment-Updates Crawford Way Multifamily Project – A Design Pemit application for development of 100 townhome-style apartments at a 4.27-acre site at the SW corner of the Crawford Way and Hwy 29 Intersection.

State law requires that the Housing Element contain quantified objectives for the maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of housing (Government Code Section 65583b). The quantified objectives, shown in HTable 1, establish the maximum number of housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the eight-year planning period given available resources in the community. State law recognizes that the total housing needs identified by a community may exceed available resources and the community's ability to satisfy this need.

ITEM NUMBER: 9.
TITLE
City Banking Services with JPMorgan Chase Bank
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolu/on authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. for banking and merchant services.
CONTACT
Jemelyn Cruz, Finance Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On October 31, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for banking services, with proposals due December 5, 2025. Proposals were received from two financial ins/tu/ons: Banc of California and JPMorgan Chase Bank NA.
The City has relied on WestAmerica Bank for more than 20 years. The Government Finance Officers Associa/on (GFOA) recommends local governments conduct periodic reviews of professional services, such as banking services, every five to ten years. Issuance of an RFP allows the City to compare compe//ve rates, allows local banks an opportunity to propose services, and take advantage of technological enhancements and evolution in the market.
Key Elements of the RFP Process:
1. Scope of Services:
Proposals were announced through the OpenGov Procurement system.
Required compliance with the City's stated requirements.
2. Eligibity:
Proposers had to be FDIC-insured and had a branch located in Napa or Solano County.
Demonstration of advanced technology and service capabilities was necessary.
3. Contract Terms:
Initial five-year term.
Fixed fees during the initial term.
At the end of the ini/al five-year term, pricing and fees would be subject to mutual negotiation.
4. Compliance:
Adherence to California Government Code Sec/ons 16520-16533 regarding collateral 88 securities.
5. Objective:
To select a partner offering high service levels, strong earnings, and low costs.
Both bank were interviewed with the interview consis/ng of a presenta/on of their key proposal points, and a demonstra/on of their online banking systems. Each proposal was evaluated based on technology, services, and cost-effectiveness.
Scores:
JPMorgan Chase Bank: 87/100
Banc of California: 76.5/100
The materially higher score at JPMorgan Chase reflects its advanced technology and wider op/ons within the services which can be expected from a wider customer base.
JPMorgan Chase offers the best value for the City in terms of its capabili/es, opera/onal effectiveness, earnings potential, and technological innovation.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
Awarding the contact to JPMorgan Chase is expected to have a positive financial impact due to:
Lower overall costs and higher service credit
Increased earnings from higher-yield money market sweeps Advanced tools that streamline operations and reduce manual processes

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS OF COMPENSATING YOUR BANK, I.E. DIRECT FEES, OR COMPENSATING BALANCES, OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH?*
Pass
Is the price the same for either option? If not, what is the difference? If on a fee basis, can excess balances be used to offset activity charges partially? Will earnings credit on collected balances in excess of those required to pay expenses incurred in any month be carried forward to offset future bank charges? Provide the bank's ECR for compensating balance method of payment.
The current earnings credit rate offered to the City is 0.84%.
We accept compensation based on fees and/or balances, with no difference in unit prices.
Fee Compensation: If you choose a fee compensation plan, balances are not used to offset any service charges. Total service charges are debited from a designated account, generally monthly.
Balance Compensation: If you choose a balance compensation plan, eligible balances are used to calculate an earnings credit allowance to offset service charges. If eligible balances are sufficient, the earnings credit allowance offsets the service charge.
If the level of eligible balances does not fully cover the fees, remaining service charges are debited from a designated account, usually monthly.
Earnings credit is calculated and applied within the billing cycle it is earned. 103

HOW IS YOUR BANK'S EARNING CREDIT DETERMINED, ADJUSTED, AND APPLIED? PLEASE INCLUDE IN THE EXPLANATION THE IMPART OF THE BANK'S RESERVE REQUIREMENT, AND THE FORMULA FOR CONVERTING SERVICE CHARGES TO BALANCE REQUIREMENTS.* Pass
The earnings credit rate is a bank managed rate that we review and update periodically after considering a range of factors, including the market rate environment. Using a managed rate helps to maintain pricing flexibility while helping to protect you from the shortterm rate volatility that could result from using an indexed rate.
The earnings credit allowance is calculated based on the average daily positive collected balances in the non-interest-bearing accounts less the reserve requirement (currently 0%) using the following calculation:
Monthly earnings credit allowance calculation
(Average monthly investable balance x ECR x actual number of days in month) Actual number of days in year
WHAT IS THE BANKS CURRENT EARNINGS CREDIT RATE? ARE YOU WILLING TO LOCK IN A "FLOOR" EARNINGS CREDIT RATE? IF SO, HOW LONG?*

The current earnings credit rate offered to the City is 0.84%. The rate will remain in effect for the term of the banking depository contract.

This optional service safeguards your important business data and images for a 10-year period in dual, secure locations.

Most returned items are routed through the Federal Reserve System to our regional return processing areas.
After processing your return items per your handling instructions, the returns system will generate a debit to your designated demand deposit account (DDA). The actual return items are matched to a return item advice and mailed to you via U.S. First Class Mail to the DDA statement address. The return advice lists the dollar amount and the reason for return for each item.
