TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Christine Viterelli, Grants Manager
Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARVIN

CONSENTING TO THE SUBMITTAL OF A GRANT APPLICATION AND

AUTHORIZATION FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE CERTIFICATIONS AND

ASSURANCES AND AUTHORIZED AGENT FORMS FOR THE LOW

CARBON TRANSIT OPERATIONS PROGRAM (LCTOP) FOR THE
FOLLOWING PROJECT: ARVIN ELECTRIC BUS INFRASTRUCTURE
INSTALLATION PROJECT $ 34,378.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arvin would like to submit an application to the 2025-2026 Low Carbon Transit Operations (LCTOP) grant program. The LCTOP is one of several programs that are part of the Transit, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities Program established by the California Legislature in 2014 by Senate Bill 862. The 2025–2026 LCTOP program provides formula‑based Cap‑and‑Invest funding to California transit agencies to expand low‑carbon transit services, reduce fares, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve mobility.

The City is requesting LCTOP funds to be used as matching funds to support the renewable microgrid infrastructure project. This request represents the City’s fourth rollover request to the LCTOP program for this project.

Arvin’s 99313 allocation is $33,653.11, and Kern COG is contributing to its 99314 allocations of $725. Arvin’s LCTOP apportionment totals $34,378. Unlike past grant years, which had only one application, the LCTOP program will have two planned, with a second application in the late summer or early fall. The city will apply and roll those additional funds into the microgrid project.

That will be the final rollover.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

Staff Report re: Reso Recognizing the Competitive Process of CalACT Cooperative Purchasing Agreements for Bus Purchases.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Christine Viterelli, Grants Manager
Jeff Jones, City Manager / Finance Director
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Recognizing the Competitive Bidding Process of the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) Cooperative Purchasing Agreements and Authorizing the City Manager, or his Designee, to Execute a Purchase Order with Davey Coach for the Procurement and Purchase of One Electric Bus; and Authorizing Related Action
BACKGROUND:

The City of Arvin Grants Manager submitted an application to the Kern Council of Governments (KernCOG) for the Transit Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP/ZETPC) grant. The California State Transportation Authority (CalSTA) awarded the City of Arvin a $2.5 million grant for Electric buses, equipment, staff, and operations expansion, free rides, and transit facility improvements. The grant expenditure timeline is over a five-year period (2023-2028). Funds for Fiscal years 23-24 and 24-25 have already been disbursed and are held in an account by KernCOG. There is currently $409,704 available to purchase a new electric bus for the dial-aride service. City staff is requesting approval to purchase the bus through the CalACT procurement system.

The City has determined that the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) is a state procurement contract site that completed a competitive bidding process for State contracts for electric buses and is substantially similar to the City’s competitive bidding process, as set forth in Arvin Municipal Code Section 3.08.090. These state contract procurement sites are approved by the FTA and Caltrans Department of Transportation for a competitive bidding process, resulting in a proposed purchase order agreement with Davey Coach for the purchase of one zero-emissions electric paratransit bus at the same or better price offered to the City.

The estimated cost for the buses with the appropriate sales tax (Arvin) is:
1) Paratransit Bus- Davey Coach CalACT contract $ 409,621.

Therefore, staff has determined that it does not need to conduct the competitive bidding process, based on an exception to the process found at Arvin Municipal Code Section 3.08.090(B)(5), which exempts the purchase from the competitive bidding process if a substantially similar process is conducted by a government agency or state procurement site resulting in the same or similar

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to allow an exception to the competitive bidding process and to authorize agreements with Davey Coach to purchase an electric paratransit bus for Arvin Transit.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution allowing an exception to the competitive bidding process, authorizing procurement through the CalACT procurement site, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the purchase order for the bus.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

City staff has determined that the grant award is reimbursable by the Kern Council of Governments, and the TIRCP/ZECTP funds are currently available.

WHEREAS, the City of Arvin has been awarded a transit grant from CalSTA via the Transit Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP/ZECTP) in the amount of $ 2.5 million dollars to purchase electric buses, improve transit facilities, and expand operations, and WHEREAS, the funds to purchase the bus in an amount up to $409,704 are currently being held in an account with the Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG);and WHEREAS, Chapter 3.08 of the Arvin Municipal Code contains rules and regulations regarding the procurement of professional services and capital purchases; and WHEREAS, Section 3.08.090 generally requires that the procurement of professional services in excess of $ 30,000 shall be subject to a formal public bidding process; and WHEREAS, Section 3.08.090(B)(5) allows for an exception to the formal public bidding process when the City determines that a federal, state, county, city, or special district government agency has conducted a substantially similar process, and the equipment is provided to the City at the same or better price, and;
WHEREAS, the City of Arvin now desires to purchase a zero-emissions paratransit bus from DAVEY COACH through the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) State procurement contract process and

3.08.070, which resulted in the purchase of equipment at the same or better price as offered to the City of Arvin; and

Staff Report
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Samuel Lux, P.E.; City Engineer
SUBJECT: Consideration and Approval of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arvin Describing Improvements and Ordering the City Engineer to File A Report With Regard to the Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 for the 2026-2027 Fiscal Year.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Arvin maintains various landscapes, lighting and drainage improvements within the boundaries of Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District #1. Pursuant with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, a report of the improvements and the proposed special assessments must be prepared annually for review by the Council and the public so that annual assessments can be made. The first step in the process is for the City Council to initiate proceedings and to direct the City Engineer to prepare an updated report.

Currently, there are no substantial changes to the limits of the district, and no annexations are proposed.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The funds from the Maintenance District will be collected by the Kern County Assessor’s Office and disbursed to the City as a special assessment. When collected, these assessments will go into a fund that shall be used to pay for the maintenance and operation of the lighting, landscaping, walls, drainage, and administration of the district. As provided by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, a reassessment may provide for additional funds to be collected based on the Consumer Price Index of Los Angeles Area for 2025. Said assessment may be for an amount up to a 4.0% increase from the previous fiscal year assessment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that the City Council approve a resolution which initiates the above-described actions.

Staff Report re Approval of Statement of Work for Solar Photovoltaic System Maintenance and Measurement and Verification Services at the Wastewater Treatment Plant

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Statement of Work for Solar Photovoltaic System Maintenance and Measurement and Verification Services at the Wastewater Treatment Plant BACKGROUND:

On December 4, 2023, the City entered into Master Services Agreement No. 2023-31 with Enovity, Inc., now known as Veolia Sustainable Buildings USA West, Inc. That Agreement authorized the design and construction of a solar photovoltaic system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and contemplated the execution of separate Statements of Work (hereinafter, SOW or Exhibit A-1) for construction and long-term system operations. The SOW provided in Attachment 1 represents the required subsequent agreement governing system maintenance, monitoring, and measurement and verification after Final Completion of construction has occurred.

The SOW establishes the scope, performance standards, and compensation for preventive maintenance, repair coordination, system monitoring, and energy output verification for the solar renewable energy system at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Services include (1) annual inspections of photovoltaic modules, inverters, electrical equipment, and support structures, (2) annual module cleaning and weed control, (3) continuous system performance monitoring, and (4) documentation of maintenance activities through quarterly service logs. The agreement also provides for measurement and verification services using revenue grade metering and industry standard International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol methodologies to accurately track system energy output.

The SOW includes an energy production guarantee requiring that the system produce at least 90% of the expected annual energy output, subject to defined adjustments for force majeure events, utility outages, shading, and other specified conditions. If the system fails to meet the guaranteed production level, the Service Provider is required to provide a financial true-up refund to the City based on verified energy shortfalls. These provisions ensure accountability and protect the City’s long term financial interests.

The SOW has a twenty-year term commencing upon the Final Completion Date of the solar photovoltaic system. The initial annual maintenance fee shall not exceed $27,243, prorated for the first partial contract year. Beginning November 1 of each subsequent contract year, the annual fee will increase by 4% per year. The annual fee is payable in advance and covers all

Staff Report re Adopting City of Arvin Donation & Gift Policy – April 14, 2026.

CITY OF ARVIN
Staff Report
Meeting Date: April 14, 2026
TO: Arvin City Council
FROM: Jeff Jones, City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting a Donation and Gift Policy and Authorizing the City Manager to Accept Certain Donations on Behalf of the City.

BACKGROUND:

The City recognizes a need for a donation policy to ensure that donations to the City are consistent with City interests and goals, are used for the donor’s designated purpose (if the donation is designated), and are tracked appropriately.

The attached Donation and Gift Policy was crafted by the City Attorney and City Staff to establish policies that provide for accepting donations in a transparent and accountable manner from individuals, community groups, and businesses who wish to make a donation to the City.

The policy establishes uniform criteria and procedures to guide the review and acceptance or rejection of donations and ensure the City appropriately acknowledges the generosity of the donor.

The policy, if adopted in its final draft form, would allow the City Manager to accept donations totaling $10,000 or less. Donations that exceed that threshold must be accepted by the City Council. The proposed policy also identifies the types of donations to be received and provisions regarding their use, and establishes procedures for processing the donations, including documentation, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

The policy may be amended as necessary to reflect best practices and maintain compliance with applicable local and state laws, and may also be revised by the City Council at its discretion.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution adopting a Donation and Gift Policy and authorizing the City Manager to accept certain donations on the behalf of the City.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Adoption of a Donation and Gift Policy is not anticipated to result in a direct fiscal impact to the City. Any administrative costs associated with implementing the policy are expected to be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. The policy may provide an opportunity for additional voluntary contributions that could offset future City expenditures.

CITY OF ARVIN

DONATION AND GIFT POLICY
Section 1. Purpose
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a uniform process for the acceptance and documentation of donations and gifts made to the City in a responsible, transparent, and accountable manner consistent with City goals. This Policy also establishes standards for City officials and employees regarding the acceptance of gifts during the performance of City business.

Section 2. Definitions
A. Donation: a contribution made to the City without expectation of goods, services, or significant benefit or recognition in return. Donations may be offered in the form of money, in-kind contribution, or contributions of real or personal property. A donation may be undesignated, where the donor has placed no limitation on its use, or designated, where the donor has designated its use to a specific purpose (e.g., City sponsored events).

Donations that, if accepted, would obligate the City to enter into a service, procurement, or other agreement shall not be considered a donation.

B. Donation Agreement: An agreement between the City and the donor that details any restrictions on a donation as well as the respective obligations of the donor and the City.

C. Donor: Any organization or individual who provides the City with a donation.

D. Gift: Any payment or other benefit that confers a personal benefit on the recipient for which they have not provided equal or greater consideration to the donor.

E. In-Kind Contribution: A contribution of an item or object other than cash or real property, which would serve a useful purpose in the provision of City services. Examples may include equipment, materials, or services.

F. Payment: As determined by Government Code Section 82044, “payment” means a payment, distribution, transfer, loan, advance, deposit, gift, or other rendering of money, property, services, or anything else of value, whether tangible or intangible.

G. Sponsor: A company, organization, or individual who provides the City with funding support for a program, activity, or facility in the form of a sponsorship, and who expects more than nominal recognition in return.

H. Sponsorship: A sponsorship typically means a person or entity that provides the City with financial support for an activity, City program, or City facility, typically in exchange for the City providing more than nominal recognition of its financial support, which distinguishes a sponsorship from a donation. Financial assistance provided by a sponsor may consist of cash and/or in-kind contributions.

I. Sponsorship Agreement: A negotiated agreement between the City and a company, organization, or individual who provides a sponsorship whereby the City agrees to

3.I.3
Attachment: City of Arvin Donation and Gift Policy_041426_FINAL (City of Arvin Donation and Gift Policy) provide a sponsorship opportunity to a company, organization, or individual in exchange for recognition rights related to certain identified City-owned commercial or marketable assets. A Sponsorship Agreement may permit a limited form of advertising opportunity for a company, organization, or individual in exchange for the fee paid to the City.

Section 3. General Provisions
A. The City welcomes undesignated donations, and designated donations, that enhance City services, programs, activities, and/or events, reduce costs that the City would incur in the absence of the donation, or that otherwise provide a benefit to the City. The City may decline any donation without comment or cause.

B. Donations may only be accepted when they have a purpose consistent with the City’s goals and objectives and are in the best interest of Arvin. The City must always consider the public trust and comply with all applicable laws when accepting donations. Donations may not be used for personal financial gain of any City elected or appointed official, or employee.

C. Employees and/or elected officials of the City shall follow the provisions of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code, Fair Political Practices Commission requirements, Government Code, and Political Reform Act as they relate to the receipt of gifts.

F. Gifts offered for gratuitous purposes (e.g., holiday gift baskets, etc.) to any employee, department or the City shall be made available to benefit all employees.

G. This policy does not prohibit a City official from accepting anything of value by way of a gift when such a gift is made to, and accepted on behalf of, the City of Arvin. All such gifts to the City shall be forwarded to the City Manager for compliance with this policy whenever possible; the City Manager will ensure that all such gifts are shared by all City staff.

H. Under the Political Reform Act, public officials and employees are required to disclose certain personal financial holdings as outlined in California Government Code sections 81000-91014. The Fair Political Practices Commission requires all public officials and employees to file a ‘conflict-of-interest statement,’ known as Form 700. In Schedule D of Form 700, details requirements in reporting gifts of a dollar value and shall be used.

I. Donors shall not expect, nor shall the City grant, any extra consideration to the donor in relation to City procurement, regulatory matters, or any other business, services, or operations of the City.

F. Accepted and undesignated donations shall be acknowledged in writing by the City Manager. A copy of the acknowledgment should be forwarded to donors.

G. Unaccepted donations will be returned to the donor. The City shall retain the absolute discretion to decline to accept any donation or sponsorship proposal.

H. Once a proposed donation is accepted, it becomes City property and can be utilized at the City’s discretion, unless a restricted donation provides otherwise.

I. All monetary, cash, and cash equivalent donations shall be deposited and recorded with the Finance Department and deposited in accordance with Departmental policies.

J. After the approval of a sponsorship by the City, the terms of the Sponsorship, including any expectation of a significant return or recognition shall be set forth in a written Sponsorship Agreement between the sponsor and City. The agreement must be approved as to form by the Office of the City Attorney.

Section 5. Criteria for Acceptance
In reviewing a proposed donation or sponsorship (“proposal”) for acceptance, the City, shall review the proposal based upon the criteria set forth in this policy, including, but not limited to, the following:

A. The proposal advances key City priorities;
B. The proposal supports the City’s ability to increase revenue and partnerships; C. The proposal provides a significant enhancement to the City, enhances or reduces costs the City would incur in the absence of its acceptance, or otherwise benefits the City; D.

PROCLAMATION

NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH
APRIL 2026
WHEREAS, According to the California Child Welfare Indicators Project (CCWIP), covering the period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, and referenced in the Kern County Network for Children 2024– 2025 Annual Report, 13,512 children in Kern County were suspected of being abused or neglected—an average of 37 children per day. During that same period, 2,570 children—an average of seven Kern County children each day—were determined to be victims of abuse or neglect following investigations conducted by Child Protective Services and/or law enforcement agencies.

WHEREAS, In 2024, three child fatalities were determined by law enforcement or the coroner to be the result of abuse or neglect. Additionally, 19 children sustained severe or serious injuries due to abuse or neglect. Of the children who were hospitalized because of the severity of their injuries, eight were identified as victims of Abusive Head Trauma (Shaken Baby Syndrome), as determined by the Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect Team.

WHEREAS, Child abuse and neglect remain persistent and widespread in Kern County, affecting dozens of children every day. While not all reports are substantiated, the high number of confirmed victims highlights the continued need for early intervention, prevention, and family support services. Fatalities and severe injuries, particularly cases involving Abusive Head Trauma, underscore the tragic consequences of abuse and the urgency of community awareness.

WHEREAS, Collaboration among Child Protective Services, law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community partners remains essential to protect children and support families. Ongoing public education, reporting of suspected abuse, and access to resources are critical to preventing future harm and strengthening child safety. Data indicate that the children at highest risk for abuse and neglect in Kern County are children under the age of five and homeless youth, who face increased vulnerability due to dependency, instability, and limited access to protective resources. It is important to note that these numbers do not capture the full scope of children at risk. Many vulnerable children remain unidentified and uncounted, including those who may be hiding, couch surfing with friends, sleeping in cars, abandoned buildings, or other locations not easily identifiable by systems of care.

WHEREAS, In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, community members are encouraged to attend the many free trainings offered throughout the month and engage in additional awareness activities taking place countywide. To help increase local awareness during Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Kern County Network for Children Parent Advisory Board (PAB), in partnership with multiple community‑based organizations that support child abuse prevention efforts year‑round, will host the 2026 Strong Families, Safer Futures Resource Event on April 16, 2026. This event is free and open to the public. For more information please visit:
https://kern.org/kern-county-network-children/child-abuse-prevention/ NOW, THEREFORE, We, the City Council of the City of Arvin, California, do hereby proclaim April 2026 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month and we encourage all citizens of the City of Arvin to help in making a difference by increasing awareness.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand hereunto and caused to be affixed the seal of the City of Arvin, California, on this 14

NETWORK DEVELOPMENT:

We strengthen the community’s
response to child maltreatment and
foster youth through knowledge,
building collaboraƟve partnerships,
and leadership development.
 19 CollaboraƟves and 24 Family
Resource Centers across Kern
County acƟvely work to improve the
safety and well-being of their
communiƟes and target populaƟons,
including veterans, individuals with
special needs, American Indian
communiƟes, and LGBTQIA+ groups.

Children accredited community
collaboraƟves conƟnued to maintain
their accreditaƟon and receive
ongoing technical assistance
services.
 13 Dream Center partner agencies
and organizaƟons worked hand in
hand to support current and former
foster youth.

AWARENESS:

We raise awareness of child abuse
and methods to prevent it so
communiƟes take acƟon.
 Bringing awareness to the
community on criƟcal issues around
the safety and well-being of
children is at the forefront of KCNC.

InformaƟon reached 598,745
community members through print,
television, and radio news outlets.
 An average of 137 service providers
and community members aƩended
10 trainings aimed at providing
knowledge and tools to successfully
help strengthen families, increase
child safety, and access ever
changing resources.
 A total of 7 General CollaboraƟve
meeƟngs were held to address
criƟcal issues affecƟng Kern families

Evolving PrevenƟon
Parents As Teachers Services
Parents As Teachers (PAT) is an evidence-based
program that services are client driven, provide
in-home support, teach coping and life skills,
demonstrate parenƟng techniques, and assist with
nurturing parent/child bonding/aƩachment, PAT has
demonstrated effecƟveness in improving child safety.
During FY 2024-2025, Parent As Teachers (PAT)
services provided by HenrieƩa Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic (Central Kern) and Clinica Sierra Vista (East Kern) have been implemented for prevenƟon and post-reunificaƟon families in all Kern County. Combined, these service providers received 285 referrals and served 171 families, including 275 children. Group ConnecƟons are part of Parents as Teachers essenƟal requirements and they are needing to do 12 Group ConnecƟons through out the year. Central Kern PAT (12 were done and 109 of aƩendees) and East Kern PAT (16 were done and 10 of aƩendees). Highlights: During this fiscal year, the Easter Egg Hunt Group ConnecƟon had the highest aƩendance with 21 families in aƩendance. Parents expressed that they really enjoyed the fellowship, support and conversaƟons with other parents. In the conversaƟons they had, parents felt they were given the opportunity to learn from each other—hearing their perspecƟves and experiences, creaƟng a sense of community.

DIRECT SERVICES:

We work with community partners to
offer effecƟve prevenƟon,
intervenƟon, and treatment services
for families who are at-risk of or who
have experienced child abuse/neglect.

KCNC Dream Center provides comprehensive outreach and case management services to foster youth and emancipated youth up to age 24 who may be experiencing homelessness. During Fiscal Year 2024–2025, the Homeless Youth Outreach team served 91 youth, including 13 dependent children. Among parƟcipaƟng adults, 29% achieved an increase or maintained stability in employment income. Of the 61 youth who exited services, 55 (90%) transiƟoned to posiƟve housing outcomes, and 14 (15%) of the total 91 youth secured independent housing without subsidy. Homeless Case Management services were provided to 126 youth, including 31 dependent children. Within this group, 51% of adults demonstrated increased or sustained employment income. Of the 37 youth who exited services, 32 (86%) transiƟoned to posiƟve housing desƟnaƟons.

KCNC Dream Center partnered with several community agencies to provide youth with essenƟal resources. These partnerships included Mercy and Memorial Hospitals CommonSpirit Health’s Community Health Improvement Program, which supported a substance abuse support group, healthy and locally sourced food boxes, flexible housing supports, and vision care. Kaiser supported by helping address gaps in flexible housing supports, such as purchasing required appliances for Housing Authority inspecƟons. The KCNC Dream Center acquired addiƟonal space through the support of the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office.

1. Introduce the Ordinance by title only and waive the first reading, and

2. Set a Public Hearing for April 28, 2026, for the second reading and adoption of the Ordinance.

Executive Summary:

The City of Arvin’s Housing Element contains various programs that require amendments be made to the Arvin Zoning Code (Title 17 of the Arvin Municipal Code). The amendments proposed through Zoning Code Amendment (ZCA) 26-01 are largely for the purpose of updating the Arvin Municipal Code (AMC) to be aligned with State housing law. ZCA 26-01 would implement the following Housing Element programs: Program 13, specifically subprograms 13h, 13k, 13o, 13q, 13r, and 13t, and Program 27. The Council also recently approved participation in the Prohousing Designation Program (PDP). ZCA 26-01 would also implement commitments made in the PDP application.

Background:

The City of Arvin adopted the 2023-2031 Housing Element through Resolution No. 2025-04 on January 28th, 2025. The adopted Housing Element was then sent to the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) for review and was found in substantial compliance with State Housing Element Law on March 27, 2025. Following adoption and certification of the Housing Element, the City must implement, monitor, and report on the progress toward implementing the Housing Element, as required by Government Code Section 65400.

The City is also in the process of attaining Prohousing Designation through HCD’s Prohousing Incentive Program and an application was submitted to HCD on November 25, 2025. HCD reviewed the application and returned with requests for revisions and clarifications. Staff resubmitted the revised application to HCD on March 31, 2026, and is currently awaiting approval.

In an effort to receive the Prohousing Designation status and gain additional points with our application, the City proposed a policy aimed at our increasing the Density Bonus ordinance above what is required by State law. Acceptance into the Prohousing Incentive Program and assignment of the Prohousing Designation would require the City to implement any policies proposed in the application within two (2) years. In an effort to streamline part of this process, Staff has included the amendments to Section 17.50.150 Density Bonuses, Concessions and Incentives into this ZCA.

Staff is proposing an enhanced local density bonus of 30% to projects that provide at least five (5)% of total units restricted to extremely low income households. Additionally, Staff is proposing an additional ten (10)% density bonus increase for very low and low income households on top of existing State Density Bonus law (i.e., where SDBL calls for a 20% bonus, Arvin would allow a 30% bonus).

Staff Report re Title 17 Comprehensive Zoning Code Amendments (ZCA 26-01) The draft ordinance has proposed additions underlined in red and proposed deletions struck through in red so that the changes are highlighted for the reader. The Draft Ordinance, which shows the proposed additions and deletions, is attached as Attachment A.

Environmental Review:

The environmental impacts of the Project have been analyzed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Staff recommend that the City Council find and determine that the proposed ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

Section 15061(b)(3) states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

The zoning amendments implemented by ZCA 2026-01 serve to implement the identified programs and actions, and any future development will remain subject to site-specific environmental review and compliance with existing General Plan and zoning designations.

Therefore, the amendments are exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3).

Public Hearing Notice:

Public hearing notices were posted in three public places within the City of Arvin: 1) Arvin City Hall, 2) Arvin Police Department, and 3) Community Development Building; and posted on the City of Arvin’s website (www.arvin.org), on March 24, 2026, providing a 20-day review, in accordance with Government Code Sections 36933, 65854, and 65090.

Fiscal Impact:

There are no additional fiscal impacts associated with adoption of this ordinance, other than the staff time spent preparing it.

City Council Action:

The City Council will be acting on ZCA 2026-01 and determine whether to:

1. Introduce an Ordinance amending various chapters of Title 17 of the Arvin Municipal Code to implement programs of the 6th cycle housing element update and PDP policies.
