hypothetical site in the RM-2 zone (855 square feet of lot area per unit; maximum 40 units per acre) was also able to achieve the maximum permitted density. The cumulative impact of the land use controls in California City, including zoning, fees, building codes, and development standards, do not pose a significant or unique constraint to housing production. To enhance development potential and provide greater flexibility in the RM-1 and RM-2 zones, the City has included Program 2.2 to modify parking standards to remove the two off-street parking requirements and set up a sliding scale by unit size and to increase the height limit to allow for three-story buildings.

Typical Densities for Development
California City is a small city in Kern County with physical constraints to outward expansion. Single-family residential lots generally vary from approximately 2,500 to 5,400 square feet in the low-density residential zone. Multifamily densities are typically between 10 and 20 units per acre depending on the land use designation. In the previous planning period, no sites identified to accommodate the lower-income RHNA in the inventory were developed below the minimum allowable density of the zone in which the site is located, and the City did not receive any requests to develop below the assumed capacity in the sites inventory.

On- and Off-Site Improvements
The City requires both on- and off-site improvements. These include curb/gutter and drainage facilities, sidewalks, paved streets, landscaping, and water and sewer service. Such improvements are required as a condition of the subdivision map, or if there is no required map, they are required as part of the building permit. Curbs/gutters and

111
drainage facilities direct storm and runoff water out of residential developments and are retained on-site in park basins or landscaped areas.

Water/Sewer
Development of and connection to municipal water and sewer services are required as a condition of tract maps. Water service is necessary for a constant supply of potable water. According to the 2010 Central Core Water Map, eight-inch, six-inch, and four-inch water lines service many of the existing residential tracts along local roadways. Water lines with larger capacity of 20-inch, 16-inch, 12-inch, and 10-inch water lines service major arterial, arterial, and collector streets.

Sewer services are necessary for the disposal of liquid waste. These off-site requirements allow for the development of much higher residential densities. According to the 2010 Central Core Sewer Map, sewer lines are found mainly around schools, commercial businesses, and government buildings ranging from 6 to 24 inches in capacity. The north side of California City Boulevard has more sewer service available to residential lots than on the south side. Newer residential tracts and pending residential housing starts are required to hookup to City sewer. Many of the older residential tracts are on private septic systems. New construction in the older residential tracts on spot lots are required to hookup to the sewer system if the sewer is less than 200 feet away; over 200 feet, a private septic system is allowed.

Streets/Roadways
Local streets, including cul-de-sacs, provide direct access to abutting parcels and are used for local traffic movements.

Arterial and collector roads are designated on the General Plan according to existing and projected needs. Sidewalks allow for movement of pedestrian traffic. Where sidewalks are available, safety of pedestrian traffic is enhanced, particularly for school-age children.

Local streets are located as needed throughout residential development. City roadways are required to be paved.

Pavement creates an all-weather roadway, facilitates roadway drainage, and reduces dust. It also produces a highspeed circulation system and facilitates relative safe traffic movements. Developers are responsible for development of roadways associated with the residential project. Table 6-5 shows roadways are classified in the city according to traffic needs.

Density Bonus
Under current State law (Government Code Section 65915), cities and counties must provide a density increase up to 80 percent over the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the municipal code and the land use element of the general plan (or bonuses of equivalent financial value) when builders agree to construct housing developments with 100 percent of units affordable to low- or very low-income households.

112
To ensure compliance, the City has included Program 2.3 to ensure compliance with current State law (Government Code Section 65915).

Provision for a Variety of Housing
The Housing Element must identify adequate sites that are available for the development of housing types for all economic segments of the population. Part of this entails evaluating the City’s Zoning Ordinance and its provision for a variety of housing types. Housing types include single-family dwellings, duplexes, second units, mobile homes, group care facilities, multifamily dwellings, senior housing, supportive housing, and single-room occupancy units.

Some housing types are allowed by right, and others are allowed with a conditional use permit. Table 6-6 summarizes the housing types permitted, conditionally permitted, or excluded under the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The City has included Program 2.4 to amend the Municipal Code in compliance with State law.

Notes: - = Not Permitted P = Permitted; C = Conditional Use Permit 1 Program 2.4 has been included to allow residential care facilities for six or fewer persons, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 1568.0831, and allow residential care facilities, regardless of size, in all zones that permit residential uses of the same type, in accordance with the State’s definition of family. 2 Program 2.4 has been included to amend the Municipal Code to permit both transitional and supportive housing as a singlefamily use, treated no differently than residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Additionally, the City will allow supportive housing as a permitted use without discretionary review in zones where multifamily and mixed-use developments are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses (Government Code Section 65583(c)(3)). 3 Emergency shelters are permitted by right without discretionary review in C-5, Regional Commercial District. 4 Program 2.4 has been included to amend the Municipal Code to allow employee/farmworker housing in compliance with State law (Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6).

Accessory Dwelling Units (Second-Unit Housing)
Another type of housing appropriate for lower-income persons are accessory dwelling units (ADUs). ADU means an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons. It must include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel as the existing single-family dwelling. The city refers to ADUs as “Second Units” in the Municipal Code.

113
The City currently requires that a second unit must have a floor area of at least 500 square feet and no more than 1,000 square feet. A Second Unit shall have ingress and egress to the second unit independent of the primary unit. It must use the primary residence sewer system, provided that system has adequate capacity, otherwise a separate septic or sewer system must be installed. However, this may not have independent water, electric, or gas service(s). The second unit square footage is included with the primary residence for the purpose of calculating lot coverage.

The City has included Programs 1.6 and 2.4 to amend the Zoning Code to comply with State ADU law and to include incentives to promote the development of ADUs.

Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities
Facilities licensed by the State of California that provide 24-hour primarily non-medical care permanent living accommodations for persons in need of personal services, supervision, protection, or assistance for sustaining the activities of daily living. Living accommodations are shared living quarters with or without separate kitchen or bathroom facilities for each room or unit. This classification includes facilities that are operated for profit as well as those operated by public or not-for-profit institutions, including convalescent facilities, group homes for minors, persons with disabilities, people in recovery from alcohol or drug additions, rehabilitation facilities, and hospice facilities.

Health and Safety Code Sections 1267.8 and 1566.3 require local governments to treat licensed group homes and residential care facilities with six or fewer residents no differently than other by-right single-family housing uses. “Six or fewer persons” does not include the operator, the operator’s family, or persons employed as staff. Local agencies must allow these licensed residential care facilities in any area zoned for residential use and may not require licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons to obtain conditional use permits or variances that are not required of other family dwellings.

The City currently has some provisions for group housing types, including care facilities for a maximum of six individuals, and allows them with a conditional use in R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5. The City has included Program 2.4 to allow group homes with six or fewer persons in all zones in the same manner as single-family residences in compliance with State law. Further, the Zoning Code does not currently contain provisions for group housing with seven or more persons and Program 2.4 has included to comply with State law.

Reasonable Accommodation
The City adopted a Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance in 2015 that gives persons with disabilities a procedure to seek equal access to housing under the federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

Reasonable accommodation requests are reviewed by the City Manager/Planning Director. The City Manager/Planning Director shall issue a written determination within 60 days of the date of receipt of a completed application.

The written decision to grant or deny a request for reasonable accommodation will be consistent with the fair housing acts. The following findings must be made to approve a request for reasonable accommodation:
» The requested accommodation is requested by or on behalf of one or more individuals with disabilities protected under the Fair Housing Laws.
» The requested reasonable accommodation is necessary to make housing available to one or more individuals with disabilities protected under the Fair Housing Laws.

114
» The requested reasonable accommodation will not impose an undue financial or administrative burden on the City.
» The requested accommodation will not require a fundamental alteration of the zoning or building laws, policies, and/or procedures of the City. If, based on all of the evidence presented to the City Manager/Planning Director, the above findings may reasonably be made, the City Manager/Planning Director shall grant the requested reasonable accommodation.

The City’s current definition of family states “An individual, two or more persons who are related by blood, adoption, or marriage, or a group of not more than six persons not necessarily related by blood, adoption, or marriage living together in a dwelling unit.” To comply with State law, the City has included Program 2.4 to update the definition of family to state “ One or more persons living together in a dwelling unit, with common access to and common use of all living, kitchen and eating areas within the dwelling unit.” Transitional and Supportive Housing
Supportive housing is defined by Section 50675.14 of the Health and Safety Code as housing with linked on-site or offsite services, no limit on the length of stay, and that is occupied by a target population as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 53260 (i.e., low-income person with mental disabilities, AIDS, substance abuse or chronic health conditions, or persons whose disabilities originated before the age of 18). Services that are linked to supportive housing usually focus on retaining housing, living and working in the community, and/or health improvement.

Transitional housing is defined in Section 50675.2 of the Health and Safety Code as rental housing for stays of at least six months but where the units are recirculated to another program recipient after a set period. It may be designated for a homeless individual or family transitioning to permanent housing. This housing can take many structural forms, such as group housing and multifamily units, and may include supportive services to allow individuals to gain the necessary life skills to support independent living.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(a)(5), transitional and supportive housing types are required to be treated as residential uses and subject only to the restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone. Additionally, State law requires jurisdictions to allow supportive housing by right in multifamily zones and mixeduse and nonresidential zones allowing multifamily.

The City’s Municipal Code currently allows supportive housing and transitional housing by right in the same manner as other single-family dwellings, multifamily dwelling units, residential care facilities, or boarding house uses. To ensure compliance with Government Code Section 65651(a), the City has included Program 2.4 to amend the Municipal Code to permit both transitional and supportive housing as a single-family use, treated no differently than residential dwellings of the same type in all zones allowing residential uses of the same type in the same zone. As part of Program

2.4, the City will also revise the zoning ordinance to allow supportive housing as a permitted use without discretionary review in zones where multifamily and mixed-use developments are permitted, including nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses (Government Code Section 65583(c)(3)).

Emergency Shelters
Government Code Section 65583(a)(4)(A) requires the City to allow emergency shelters without any discretionary action in at least one zone that is appropriate for permanent emergency shelters (i.e., commercial uses compatible with residential or light industrial zones in transition), regardless of its demonstrated need. The goal of SB 2 was to ensure

115
that local governments share the responsibility of providing opportunities for the development of emergency shelters.

To that end, the legislation also requires that the City demonstrate site capacity in the zone identified to be appropriate for the development of emergency shelters. Within the identified zone, only objective development and management standards may be applied that are designed to encourage and facilitate the development of or conversion to an emergency shelter.

The City Code defines emergency shelters as temporary, short-term residences providing housing with minimal supportive services for homeless families or individual persons where occupancy is limited to six months or less.

Supplemental services may include counseling and access to social programs, and no individual or household may be denied to emergency shelter because of an inability to pay.

Emergency shelters are permitted by right without discretionary review in the C5 zone (which allows residential uses as an accessory use) and subject to the following standards under Section 9-2. 1903 of the Municipal Code. » The maximum length of stay shall not exceed 120 days in a 365-day period. » Each shelter may have a maximum of 30 beds.
» Off-site parking shall be provided at a parking rate of one parking space for three beds and parking shall be ADA compliant.
» Stays at the emergency shelter facility shall be limited between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. » Non-operational and unregistered vehicles shall not be kept on-site. Towing shall be the responsibility of the shelter operator.
» Each emergency shelter shall provide an interior and exterior waiting area adequate to accommodate waiting clients and to prevent queuing into the public right-of-way. An exterior waiting area shall be physically separated and visually screened from the public right-of-way. » The emergency shelter facility shall provide an on-site resident manager on-site at all times. » A minimum distance of 300 feet shall be maintained from another emergency shelter. The distance of separation shall be measured in a straight line between the property lines of each use without regard to intervening structures or objects.
» The shelter operator shall provide minimum exterior lighting. In addition, the operator shall regularly patrol the area surrounding the shelter site during hours that the shelter is in operation to ensure that homeless persons who have been denied access are not congregating in the neighborhood. » Alcohol and narcotics use and consumption are prohibited within the facility and on the property. » An operations plan shall be submitted for review and approval by the development services director and police chief prior to operation of the emergency shelter. The plan shall include minimum provisions related to on-site security and safety, staff training, loitering control, client eligibility, counseling services, and indoor and outdoor management of the facility.

The City has included Program 2.4 to review and revise these development and managerial standards to ensure compliance with State law.

According to the 2023 Kern County PIT count, there was an estimated nine unsheltered individual experiencing homelessness in California City. Conservatively assuming 250 gross square feet as necessary to accommodate a shelter bed, the City’s unmet shelter need could be satisfied by a single small shelter or in conjunction with another use. There

116
are 63 potential vacant sites with a total of 76.82 acres in the C-5 zone. Sites range in size from 0.39 to 8 acres with the majority being 0.25 to 0.5 acres.

Though the City has a relatively low demonstrated need for emergency shelters, it is farther away from Kern County's more established homelessness support services (primarily located in Bakersfield) and recognizes that homelessness is on the rise in the region; the unsheltered homeless count in Kern County increased by 40 percent between 2022 and 2023 alone. To this end, Program 4.1 is proposed, which commits the City to collaborate with the community’s existing religious institutions and social service providers to identify and facilitate the provision of emergency shelter (or other interim interventions) on their premises. This approach will increase the likelihood that sufficient shelter resources will be developed during the planning period. Additionally, given California City's relatively small size and the location of many of the community’s existing religious facilities and social service providers, this approach will also ensure that shelter resources will be near amenities that serve people experiencing homelessness.

Low-Barrier Navigation Centers
Low-Barrier Navigation Centers (LBNCs) are Housing First, low-barrier, service-enriched shelters focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing. LBNCs must be allowed by-right in areas zoned for mixed use and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses. The City’s Municipal Code does not specifically address LBNCs pursuant to AB 101 (Government Code Section 65660 et seq.) and therefore Program 2.4 has been included to comply with State law.

Single-Room Occupancy Units
The Housing Element must identify zoning to encourage and facilitate housing for all segments of the community.

Single-room occupancy units (SRO) are often the most appropriate type of housing for extremely low-income persons.

The Zoning Code does not currently contain provisions for SRO units. The City has included Program 2.4 to amend the Municipal Code to define and adopt provisions for SRO units permitting in at least one zoning district explicitly with appropriate development standards in the respective zones and encourage the development of SRO types.

Housing for Farmworkers
Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5 requires employee housing for six or fewer persons to be treated as a singlefamily structure and residential use. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance shall be required for this type of employee housing that is not required of a family dwelling of the same type in the same zone.

Section 17021.6 requires that employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds in group quarters (of 12 units or less) designed for use by a single family or household be treated as an agricultural use. No conditional use permit, zoning variance, or other zoning clearance shall be required for this type of employee housing that is not required of any other agricultural activity in the same zone. The City’s Municipal Code does not currently contain provisions for farmworker housing. The City has included Program 2.4 to comply with Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6.

Development and Processing Fees
California City charges a number of planning and building, fees to cover the cost of processing development requests, providing public facilities and services to new development, and mitigating the environmental impacts of new development. Although these fees are necessary to meet City service and environmental standards, they can have an

117
impact on the cost of housing, particularly affordable housing. However, the City continually evaluates its fees to ensure they do not unduly constrain the development of housing. Tables 6-7 and Table 6-8 provide the master fee schedules for the City as of 2020. Table 6-9 indicates the building and development fees for a 2,000-square-foot single-family home and 12-unit multifamily development with 1,000 square feet. For new residential dwellings, the connection fee and impact fee for water service are currently (2024) being waived for water and sewer connections.

119
Permit Processing Time
The time involved in processing development applications can become a constraint to affordable housing development.

However, in an effort to promote development the City has aimed to make this a streamlined process for all development. In California City, most development applications for single-family and multifamily developments take up to two weeks for ministerial review and staff development reviews. If an applicant proposes a development that requires discretionary review, such as one that requires a conditional use permit, the processing time can extend to four to six months regardless of whether it is for a single-family or multifamily project. Table 6-11 lists the typical review times for each type of City permit or approval process. These review periods do not present constraints to development because some review is needed to ensure the maintenance of health and safety standards. Further, the City encourages developers to submit applications concurrently whenever possible to minimize the total processing time and related project costs.

Multifamily residential developments with four (4) or more units are subject to a Site Plan Review. The Planning Director will review the proposal to ensure compliance with the requirements outlined in Section 9-2.212 of the City’s Zoning Code. A public hearing is not required, and the Planning Director’s decision is final unless an appeal is filed with the Planning Commission by an interested party before a building permit is issued.

As part of the Site Plan Review process, proposed multifamily residential developments must include the following:
(1) Name and address of the applicant;
(2) Name(s) and address(s) of the property owner(s);
(3) Assessor's parcel number(s);
(4) A plan drawn at the scale specified by the Planning Director, including the following:
a. Topography and proposed grading;
b. Location of existing buildings and structures with required setbacks; c. Location of proposed buildings and structures with required setbacks;

120
d. Location of all existing and proposed utilities, including water, natural gas, electrical and drainage facilities;
e. Exterior elevations showing the height of the building, the location of doors, windows, chimneys, mechanical equipment and the types and colors of materials proposed; f. Dimensions of the existing and proposed buildings or structures or other information (e.g., seating capacity) of the proposed buildings allowing the Planning Director to determine parking needs in accordance with the requirements set out in the City Zoning Ordinance; g. Layout of proposed parking lot, including location of parking spaces, internal circulation pattern, ingress and egress points and location of trash enclosures; h. Dimensions of parking stalls and aisles;
i. Location of landscaping and irrigation system, including identification of plant materials to be used; and
j. Location of on-site and off-site lighting.

Single-family residential developments are not subject to Site Plan Review and only rely on a plan check which is a staff level review and can be completed in one day.

The City does not have approval findings. Instead, a project meeting zoning standards (such as those listed above) and General Plan requirements is approved at the staff level. No public hearings are required. Therefore, local processing and permit procedures are not an impediment to development in the City.

The typical processing times for development and permit approval are presented in Table 6-12 by project type.

2 This estimate accounts for the time between approval and building permit issuance, assuming a complete and correct application at first submittal. The final length of time between a project’s approval and building permit issuance is determined by the applicant. If corrections are necessary after the City’s initial review, the applicant will need to complete the corrections, and the timing for addressing corrections varies.

Senate Bill 330 Procedure
SB 330, the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, established specific requirements and limitations on development application procedures. Housing developments for which a preliminary application is submitted that complies with applicable General Plan and zoning standards is subject only to the development standards and fees that were applicable at the time of submittal. This applies to all projects unless the project square footage or unit count changes by more than 20

121
percent after the preliminary application is submitted. The developer must submit a full application for the development project within 180 days of submitting the preliminary application.

California City offers optional pre-application meetings for all development proposals to advise prospective applicants about current City standards and requirements, and to identify issues in an effort to shorten the length of time required to process a development proposal once it has been accepted. Pre-application meetings have helped to shorten the review process and allow for better communication between applicants and City departments. Consistent with SB 330, housing developments for which a preliminary application is submitted that complies with applicable General Plan and zoning standards are subject only to the development standards and fees that were applicable at the time of submittal.

To ensure compliance with SB 330, the City has included Program 2.3 to help streamline submitted applications.

Senate Bill 35 Approvals
SB 35 requires jurisdictions that have failed to meet their RHNA to provide a streamlined, ministerial entitlement process for housing developments that incorporate affordable housing. Currently, California City does not have a process for SB 35. The City has included Program 2.3 to establish a SB 35 streamlining approval process and standards for eligible projects. The established procedure will aid in minimizing the review time required for development processes and, in turn, reduce costs to developers, which may increase housing production in the city.

Building Codes and Enforcement
The City has adopted the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) as of February 2023, including all NEPA standards to be known as the Fire Code and the Building and Safety Code per Municipal Code sections Sec. 4-1.101 and Sec.8-1.01, respectively. With this adoption to protect public health and safety, there is no significant constraint to the production or improvement of housing in California City.

Code enforcement typically occurs when a building inspector is processing other permits on the site, or when complaints are filed. The City’s code building inspector is charged with the enforcement of the latest adopted editions of the CBC, the California Electrical Code, the California Plumbing Code, the California Mechanical Code, the Uniform Housing Code, and the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. Code enforcement remains a priority for the City, and a code enforcement program will be developed and implemented as soon as funding allows. The City has not made any local amendments to the CBC.

Nongovernmental Constraints
Market Overview: For-Sale Development
As shown in the Needs Assessment the region’s home values have increased significantly since 2012, when they had reached a low point following the Recession (2009-2012). From 2012 to 2022, the median home sales price in Kern County increased by 169 percent. Since 2012, the typical home value in California City has increased 155 percent, from $153,900 to $392,770. Redfin data provides more recent estimates, which demonstrate that as of March 2022, California City's median home sales price was $392,770 and the overall county home sales price was $345,246.

Following the recovery from the Recession and until 2020, interest rates remained at low levels of 3.5 to 4.5 percent.

When interest rates are low, capital investment and housing production generally increase, and more buyers are likely to take out a mortgage than when interest rates are higher. In addition, consumers can borrow more money for the same monthly payment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, national 30-year mortgage rates dropped to even lower levels, declining to as low as 2.65 percent in January 2021. However, interest rates began to increase in early 2022, to 5.3 percent by May 2022, the highest rate since June 2009. The increase in home borrowing rates may impact the performance of the home-buying market, but the severity of these impacts is uncertain due to the unusual conditions during the pandemic recovery, including a shortage of housing supply, increased savings, and significant changes to how many Americans work and live.

Market Overview: Rental
As shown in the Needs Assessment, California City rents have risen alongside rents in Kern County. According to U.S.

Census data, the median rent in California City in 2020 was $893 per month and had increased by 27.6 percent from 2010 to 2020. In the same time period, median rent increased by 22.2 percent in Kern County. Since U.S. Census data often lags market rates, Realtor.com rental data was obtained to provide more current market rates. May 2023 Realtor.com data shows the median rent price at approximately $2,200 per month in California City and $1,940 per month in Kern County.

Per the Needs Assessment, homeowners are less cost burdened than renters, who bear the brunt of an overall rise in housing costs without the benefit of fixed-rate mortgages. When looking at cost burden across tenure in California City, 14 percent of renters spend 30 to 50 percent of their income on housing compared to 12 percent of those that own their home. Additionally, 30 percent of renters spend 50 percent or more of their income on housing and are considered severely cost burdened, while 7 percent of homeowners are severely cost burdened. In total, 19 percent of homeowners and 44 percent of renters experience some level of cost burden in California City.

Land Costs
Land costs are one of the major components of housing development costs. Land prices vary to such an extent that it is difficult to give average prices even in small geographic regions. Factors affecting the costs of land include overall availability in a given subregion; environmental site conditions and constraints; public service and infrastructure availability; aesthetic considerations, such as views, terrain, and vegetation; the proximity to urban areas; and parcel size. Generally, more remote areas have larger and less expensive parcels available, and smaller, more expensive parcels are closer to or in urbanized areas.

124
Land cost was estimated through a review of vacant land sale transactions within the past year (2022-2023). There is a surplus of vacant and undeveloped land in California City. The estimated cost an average of $3.50 per square foot (PSF), or $152,452 per acre. Individual lots ranged from $0.71 PSF to $8.51 PSF, or $30,870 to $370,598 per acre. These lots ranged in size from 0.17 to 9.88 acres. Land is not considered a constraint to development, as vacant land is available for future residential construction.

Construction and Labor Costs
Factors that affect the cost of building a house include the type of construction, materials, site conditions, finishing details, amenities, and structural configuration. According to a March 2020 report published by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation, construction costs for multifamily housing in California have climbed 25 percent between 2009 and 2018. This increase is in part due to the higher cost of building materials, such as lumber, concrete, and steel, as well as prevailing wage requirements. According to RSMeans Data (construction cost-estimating software), construction costs (including materials and labor but excluding soft costs such as fees) for a small apartment complex in the California City area ranged between $166.07 to $205.67 per square foot in 2023. Construction costs can vary depending on the type of development, ranging from more expensive steel-frame Type I construction to more affordable wood-frame Type V. Due to their smaller scale, single-family homes tend to be more expensive to construct on a per-square-foot basis than larger, multifamily developments. This cost can fluctuate depending on the type and quality of amenities to the property, such as expensive exterior and interior finishes, outdoor spaces, fireplaces, swimming pools, etc.

Availability of Financing
The cost of borrowing money to finance the construction of housing or to purchase a house affects the amount of affordably priced housing in the city. Fluctuating interest rates can eliminate many potential homebuyers from the housing market or render a housing project infeasible that could have been developed at lower interest rates. When interest rates decline, sales increase. The reverse has been true when interest rates increase. Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in alternative mortgage products, including graduated mortgages and variable-rate mortgages. These types of loans allow homeowners to take advantage of lower initial interest rates and to qualify for larger home loans. However, variable-rate mortgages are not ideal for low- and moderate-income households that live on tight budgets. Variable- rate mortgages may allow lower-income households to enter into homeownership, but there is a definite risk of monthly housing costs rising above the financial means of that household. Therefore, the fixed interest rate mortgage remains the preferred type of loan, especially during periods of low, stable interest rates. Table 6-13 illustrates interest rates as of July 1, 2024. The table presents both the interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) for different types of home loans. The interest rate is the percentage of an amount of money that is paid for its use for a specified time, and the APR is the yearly percentage rate that expresses the total finance charge on a loan over its entire term. The APR includes the interest rate, fees, points, and mortgage insurance, and is therefore a more complete measure of a loan’s cost than the interest rate alone. However, the loan’s interest rate, not its APR, is used to calculate the monthly principal and interest payment.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, mortgage interest rates fell below 3 percent for the first time in 2020. However, these rates surged from 3 percent to a high of 7 percent over the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. Table 6-13 shows the average interest rates and APRs by the type of loan as of July 1, 2024.

Summary
Market conditions in California City indicate lower median home sale prices and rental rates compared to other areas in Kern County. As a result, there are opportunities to increase residential development for both sale and rental housing.

Furthermore, particularly relatively lower land costs, are also favorable for attracting new housing development in California City. Most of the new construction, however, is expected to be for above moderate-income households while housing projects affordable to moderate- and lower-income households are less common. In addition, increased construction and labor costs, high mortgage interest rates, as well as the lack of water and sewer capacity, are hindrances to residential developments.

Infrastructure
Water
California City provides potable water service to the residents and businesses in the city. California City currently has a service population of approximately 15,333 people. In 2020, approximately 742 million gallons (MG) of water was delivered to an estimated 4,437 water service connections, of which, approximately 4,273 (96 percent) are residential services. The remainder are for commercial and industrial uses.

The City currently utilizes six groundwater wells and surface water purchased from AVEK for its water supply. The City’s groundwater wells currently have the capability to produce 5,100 gpm. The City has six primary wells. All production wells are disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and meet all drinking water quality standards set by federal and State health agencies. Well 3 (700 gpm) runs on natural gas and is available in the event of a power outage. The wells are in the First Community, or the west half of the city. Above ground water storage is located in the Second Community, or the east half of the city. Water levels in the wells range from 339 to 497 feet below ground surface. Future plans include the reconstruction or rehabilitation of Well 1 (550 gpm) and Well 11 (300 gpm).

The City maintains approximately 313 miles of water main lines ranging in size from 4 to 16 inches in diameter and a 20-inch transmission line connects the City wells to the reservoirs in the foothills. The city has seven different pressure zones to maintain pressure ranges between 50 and 100 psi. One zone has pressures as high as 130 psi and the city is planning on installing a pressure reducing valve to reduce this pressure. Most residential and commercial connections have pressure-reducing regulators. Customer meters are typically located on the property line and the average length of customer service lines is 25 feet.

126
The City maintains 5 aboveground water storage reservoirs totaling 5.85 MG. These tanks are Reservoir B1 (2.5 MG), Reservoir C2 (1 MG), Reservoir D3 (1 MG), Reservoir E4 (1 MG) and Rancho Reservoir (0.350 MG).

Wastewater
Prior to the 1970s, California City was subjected to extensive periodic flooding from heavy precipitation or snowmelt due to runoff from the mountains south of town. A series of dams and diversion structures were constructed under the leadership of the United States Soil Conservation Service (now known as the National Resource Conservation Service) following the creation of a Watershed Flood Study produced in 1972.

The City’s wastewater collection system includes numerous gravity lines and lift stations. All City sewage is collected into sewage mains and delivered to the City’s sanitary facility located on Nelson Drive, in the northeast part of the city.

The wastewater treatment plant owns and operates a 1 MGD wastewater treatment plant. The plant serves only the residents of the city. The Wastewater Operation Division provides for the following:
» Domestic and commercial sewage collection, transportation, and treatment for the California City community. » Maintenance of all sewage collection and transportation infrastructure. » Monitoring and implementation of wastewater-related laws.

The City owns and operates a 1 MGD wastewater treatment plant. The plant only serves residents of the city. Overall, the City's sanitary sewer districts have adequate capacity to treat wastewater for the service area to accommodate anticipated future development.

Dry Utilities
Dry utilities, including cable, electricity, and telephone service, are available to all areas of the city. There is sufficient capacity to meet the current need and any future need. Electricity in California City is provided by Southern California Edison (SCE). Natural gas is provided by Southern California Gas. Additional dry utilities include cable TV/internet (DirecTV, Dish Network, Frontier Internet & TV, Race Communications, Spectrum) and weekly garbage service (Waste Management). Kern County Public Works operates the landfill in Mojave. The estimated closure date of the landfill is April 2032.

Most dry utility providers are timely and accommodating to development with the exception of SCE. SCE costs and procedures inject sizable uncertainty and expense into the housing development process. For example, SCE development procedures require a developer to complete Building Plans before SCE will begin electrical infrastructure design. This SCE design phase can last 6 to 18 months. Therefore, this SCE procedure effectively requires a developer to advance their project to a construction-ready state before SCE will begin considering the project in detail. Whenever a developer must extend large sums of money that they cannot recoup for extensive periods of time, this becomes a barrier to development.

As of 2024, the city currently has water, wastewater, and dry utility capacity to accommodate the 6th cycle RHNA.

127
Energy Conservation
Opportunities for energy conservation can be found for both existing and future housing developments. Conservation can be achieved through a variety of approaches, including reducing the use of energy-consuming appliances and features in a home; physical modification of existing structures or land uses; and reducing the reliance on automobiles by encouraging more mixed-use and infill development and providing pedestrian access to commercial and recreational facilities.

Some energy conservation features are incorporated into the design of residential structures in California City due to the requirements of CBC Title 24, which outlines measures to reduce energy consumption. These measures include low-flow plumbing fixtures, efficient heating and cooling opportunities, dual-pane windows, and adequate insulation and weather stripping. Incorporating new technology in residential developments offers developers a chance to design projects with maximum energy conservation. Although energy regulations establish a uniform standard of energy efficiency, they do not ensure that all available conservation features are incorporated into building design. Additional measures may further reduce heating, cooling, and lighting loads and overall energy consumption. Though it is not feasible for all possible conservation features to be included in every development, there are often a number of economically feasible measures that can result in savings in excess of the minimum required by Title 24.

Constructing new homes with energy-conserving features as well as retrofitting existing structures will result in a reduction in monthly utility costs. There are many ways to determine how energy efficient a building is and what improvements can be made, if needed. Many modern building design methods reduce residential energy consumption and are based on proven techniques. These methods can be categorized in three ways:

1. Building design that keeps natural heat in during the winter and keeps natural heat out during the summer. Such design reduces air conditioning and heating demands. Proven building techniques in this category include:
 Location of windows and openings in relation to the path of the sun to minimize solar gain in the summer and maximize solar gain in the winter.
 Use of “thermal mass,” earthen materials such as stone, brick, concrete, and tiles, that absorb heat during the day and release heat at night.
 Use of window coverings, insulation, and other materials to reduce heat exchange between the interior of a home and the exterior.
 Location of openings and the use of ventilating devices that take advantage of natural air flow.  Use of eaves and overhangs that block direct solar gain through window openings during the summer but allow solar gain during the winter.
 Zone heating and cooling systems that reduce heating and cooling in the unused areas of a home.

2. Building orientation that uses natural forces to maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Examples include:
 North-south orientation of the long axis of a dwelling.  Minimizing the southern and western exposure of exterior surfaces.  Location of dwellings to take advantage of natural air circulation and evening breezes.

128

3. Use of landscaping featuresto moderate interior temperatures. Such techniques include:
 Use of deciduous shade trees and other plants to protect the home.  Use of natural or artificial flowing water.
 Use of trees and hedges as windbreaks.

4. In addition to these naturally based techniques, modern methodsinclude:
 Use of solar energy to heat water.
 Use of radiant barriers on roofs to keep attics cool.  Use of solar panels and other devices to generate electricity.  High-efficiency coating on windowsto repel summer heat and trap winter warmth.  Weather stripping and other insulation to reduce heat gain and loss.  Use of energy-efficient home appliances.
 Use of low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to reduce hot water use.

Major opportunities for residential energy conservation in the city will include insulation and weatherproofing, landscaping and maximizing orientation, lowering appliance consumption, and maximizing solar energy.

Weatherization of substandard housing in California City is provided by the Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK), a community-based nonprofit that serves the needs of Kern County residents. As a nonprofit, CAPK assists more than 1,000 local families with free weatherization services for households at or below 150 percent of federal poverty income guidelines.

7. Review of Previous 2015-2023 Housing Element
Per California Government Code Section 65588, each local government shall review its Housing Element as frequently as appropriate to evaluate all of the following: (1) The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the State housing goal; (2) the effectiveness of the Housing Element in attainment of the community’s housing goals and objectives; (3) the progress of the City, County, or City and County in implementation of the Housing Element; (4) the effectiveness of the Housing Element goals, policies, and related actions to meet the community’s needs, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65583(7)(a).

Efforts to Address Special Housing Needs
California Government Code Section 65588 requires that local governments review the effectiveness of the Housing Element goals, policies, and related actions to meet the community’s special housing needs. This includes the needs of seniors, persons with physical and developmental disabilities, large families, farmworkers, families with female heads of households, extremely low-income households, and households and persons in need of emergency shelters. As shown in the Review of Previous 2015-2023 Housing Element Programs matrix (Table 7-1, Review of Previous 2015-2023 Housing Element Programs), the City has made an effort to promote housing for special-needs groups in a variety of ways. Some of these accomplishments are highlighted here:
» The City amended the Municipal Code on September 22, 2015, in compliance with State law. The amendments include the following:
 Allow emergency shelters in the Regional Commercial District (C5).  Adopted development and operational standards.
 Amended definitions as per SB 2 for transitional and supportive housing. » The City amended the Municipal Code in 2014 to comply with AB 1866, by permitting second units on residential sites with only a ministerial review.
» The City Council voted on May 28, 2019, to waive water and sewer impact fees for connections ($1,649 for water and $1,898 for sewer) for new residential dwellings within city limits to reduce the cost of developing affordable housing.

Limited staff and other administrative limitations, including funding, have precluded the City’s ability to consistently track and report program outcomes as they relate to special housing needs. Additionally, the programs from this last Housing Element cycle did not have quantitative metrics to track the status of its objectives. The City will continue to seek ways to implement programs efficiently and create systems for record keeping. Finally, according to the constraints analysis in Section 6, the programs listed in Table 7-1 will be updated, removed, or replaced to best address the housing needs and encourage housing in California City.

130
Progress Toward Meeting Housing Element Programs
Table 7-1, Review of Previous 2015-2023 Housing Element Programs, summarizes the programs from the 2015-2023 Housing Element. To the degree that such programs are recommended to be continued in the current Housing Element, they are reorganized and presented in Chapter 8, Goals, Policies, and Programs.

1.a. Special Needs Housing
Identify a zone for emergency shelters for victims of domestic violence and abuse, unforeseen circumstances such as fire, and for all persons who become homeless.

The City is seeking to implement SB 2 by amending the California City Municipal Code (CCMC) to permit emergency shelters without a conditional use permit or discretionary action in the Regional Commercial (C5). Emergency shelters shall be subject to the same development and management standards as other permitted uses in the C5 zone, except for any written, objective standards for emergency shelters the City may develop as prescribed in SB 2.

The City is also seeking to implement SB 2 by amending the CCMC to permit transitional housing and supportive housing as a residential use, and subject only to those restrictions imposed on similar dwellings (e.g., single family home, apartments) in the same zone in which the transitional housing or supportive housing is located, as required by law.

The City amended the Municipal Code on September 22,
2015, to complete the following:
• Allow emergency shelters in the Regional Commercial
district (C5).
• Reviewed the City’s site inventory to ensure capacity to meet the RHNA
• Adopted development and operational standards

8. Goals, Policies, and Programs
This section of the element sets forth the City's goals, policies, and programs relative to its previously identified housing needs. Goals are general statements of the desires and aspirations of the community regarding the future supply of housing within the city and represent the ends to which housing efforts and resources are directed. Policy statements provide well-defined guidelines for decision-making. Programs are more specific statements and, in many instances, quantified statements that give guidance for later evaluation of housing actions.

Housing goals, policies, and programs presented in this section describe the City’s attempt to meet the housing needs of its residents. The City readily acknowledges that it is not solely accountable or responsible for developing housing affordable to all income levels. The City, along with county, state, and federal governments, the housing market, mortgage and banking institutions, for- and non-profit developers, and the public, all play a role in the development of affordable housing for all residents in the city.

Goal #1: Provide an adequate supply of sound, affordable housing in a safe and satisfying environment for residents and others who wish to live in California City.

Policies:
• Policy 1.1: Encourage the development of a price-balanced housing stock within the community, suitable to the economic needs of community residents.
• Policy 1.2: Encourage the private development of housing designed and priced to suit the special needs of the senior and disabled.
• Policy 1.3: Encourage the private development of additional rental units at a variety of prices. • Policy 1.4: Encourage the private development of additional ownership housing opportunities at prices affordable by all segments of the community.
• Policy 1.5: Maintain the low-density residential character of California City. • Policy 1.6: Encourage the use of passive design concepts, which make use of the natural climate to increase energy efficiency and reduce housing costs.

Programs:

Program 1.1 Support Affordable Housing
The City will expand opportunities for affordable lower-income housing to assist special needs groups, including persons with disabilities, including developmental disabilities, seniors, female-headed households, large families, extremely low-income households, farmworkers, and persons experiencing homelessness by creating partnerships, providing incentives, and pursuing funding opportunities. In support of this, the City will:
• Seek partnerships and proactively reach out at least every other year with agencies, housing developers, community stakeholders, and employers to identify development opportunities, and to discuss and pursue viable opportunities for providing affordable housing, with an emphasis on housing opportunities for very low- and extremely low-income households as well as special-needs populations, such as seniors, persons with disabilities (including developmental disabilities), farmworkers, female-headed and single-parent households, and persons experiencing homelessness. Additionally, consult with housing developers at least

144
twice during the planning period regarding the cost of on- and off-site improvements to ensure that these are not a barrier to the development of affordable housing. • Conduct proactive outreach to the SDI Advisory Committee on an annual basis to identify local landowners interested in partnering with affordable housing developers, including on self-help housing projects. • Work with public or private sponsors to identify candidate sites for new construction of housing for specialneeds populations, including seniors and larger families, and take all actions necessary to expedite processing of such projects.
• Promote State density bonus and provide streamlined processing to facilitate affordable housing development and provide additional flexibility for affordable housing and special-needs housing through the minor deviation process. The City will promote this program by publicizing the incentives on the City website and by conducting pre-application consultation with developers regarding available incentives. Examples of flexible development standards include reduced-parking requirements; reduced requirements for curb, gutter, and sidewalk construction; common trenching for utilities; and reduced water and wastewater connection fees.
• Monitor the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD’s) website annually for Notices of Funding Ability (NOFA) and, prepare or support at least 2 applications for funding for affordable housing for lower-income households (including extremely low-income households), such as seniors, disabled (including persons with developmental disabilities), the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.
• Facilitate the approval process for land divisions, lot line adjustments, and/or specific plans or master plans resulting in parcel sizes that enable affordable housing development, and process fee deferrals related to the subdivision for projects affordable to lower-income households. • Allow phasing of infrastructure whenever possible at time of project review. • Continue to promote and maximize innovative design to maximize energy conservation, such as promoting the use of solar panels and other strategies.

The applications will be available on the City’s website for developers interested in pursuing the streamlined process or vesting rights.

Responsible Agency: Planning and Development Department Funding Source: General Fund
Time Frame: Amend the Zoning Code by December 2026. Implement State Law in the interim.

Quantified Objective: Facilitate construction of two very low-income units and two low-income units to increase housing mobility opportunities, prioritizing new opportunities in higher-resource areas.

Program 2.4 Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types
The City will amend the Zoning Code to address the following development standards and barriers to special-needs housing opportunities:
• Family Definition. Amend the definition of family in the Zoning Ordinance in compliance with State Law. • Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities. Allow residential care facilities for six or fewer persons, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 1568.0831, and residential care facilities regardless of size, in all zones that permit residential uses of the same type, in accordance with the State’s definition of family. • Farmworker Housing. Consistent with Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6, amend the Zoning Code to clarify that farmworker housing is permitted by right, without a conditional use permit, in single-family zones for six or fewer persons and in zones allowing agricultural uses with no more than 12 units or 36 beds.
• Emergency Shelters. Review existing development and managerial standards for emergency shelters to ensure compliance with State law. Adopt parking standards for emergency shelters that do not require more parking for emergency shelters than for other residential or commercial uses in the same zone, in compliance with Government Code Section 65583 (a)(4). Furthermore, the City will amend the definition of emergency shelter to include other interim interventions, including but not limited to, navigation centers, bridge housing, and respite or recuperative care.

149
• Single Room Occupancy Units. Define single-room occupancy units in compliance with Government Code Section 65583(c)(1) and establish specific development standards that encourage and facilitate the development these units.
• Transitional and Supportive Housing. Amend the Municipal Code to permit both transitional and supportive housing subject only to the same restrictions applied to other residential uses in the same zone treated no differently than residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Additionally, the City will allow supportive housing as a permitted use without discretionary review in zones where multifamily and mixeduse developments are permitted, including non-residential zones permitting multifamily uses (Government Code Section 65583(c)(3)).
• Low Barrier Navigation Centers. Permit low barrier navigation centers – defined as low barrier, temporary, service-enhanced shelters to help homeless individuals and families quickly obtain permanent housing – byright in zones where mixed-uses are allowed or in nonresidential zones that permit multifamily housing (Government Code Section 65662; AB 101).

Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing.

Time Frame: Adopt amendments by December 2026.

Program 2.5 Fee Monitoring
The City will continuously monitor the fees levied on new residential development. Every other year, the City will assess if fees associated with development are necessary and modify, as appropriate.

Responsible Agency: Planning and Development Department, City Council.

Funding Source: General Fund
Time Frame: Ongoing monitoring, review fees every other year and modify within one year, if necessary.

Program 2.6 Lot Consolidation
To create additional opportunities for infill development and affordable housing, the City will help to facilitate lot consolidations to combine small lots identified as part of a larger site in the Housing Element into larger developable lots for housing. The City will meet with local developers and conduct outreach to property owners throughout 2025 and 2026 to discuss development opportunities and incentives for lot consolidation to accommodate affordable housing units and consider additional incentives brought forth by developers. Property owner outreach will include, but will not be limited to, owners of properties identified in Table 5-4. As developers and owners approach the City with interest in lot consolidation for the development of affordable housing, the City could defer certain fees, allow more height or additional stories, flexibility in parking standards (including tandem or shared parking), waive lot merger fees for certain small contiguous lots, and provide concurrent/fast tracking of project application reviews to developers who provide affordable housing. By July 1, 2027, the City will review the effectiveness of this program and revise as appropriate. The City will also evaluate grant funding for parcel assemblage land banking when it is available.

• Meet with Mojave Unified School District representatives by June 2026 to analyze whether housing security poses a barrier to student achievement. Work with the school district to assist in securing grant funding for teacher recruitment and retention bonuses, classroom materials, and other incentives for teachers to facilitate positive learning environments citywide. As affordable projects are completed, require developers to coordinate with the school district to conduct marketing to district households (not including projects that are exclusive to senior residents) with the goal of connecting at least 5 district households with affordable housing opportunity. If housing availability or affordability is determined to be a barrier to teacher recruitment or retention, the City will work with the district and partner jurisdictions to identify a strategy for funding teacher housing grants or otherwise making housing available at prices affordable to district teachers and apply for or support relevant fundings applications at least once during the planning period.

1. INTRODUCTION
This section describes the standards for determining a significant effect on the environment from construction and operation of the proposed Housing Element Update (proposed project) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

1.1 STATUTORY EXEMPTIONS
Once it is determined that an activity is a project subject to CEQA, it is then determined whether the project is exempt from CEQA. Pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b), a project is exempt from CEQA if:

1. The project is exempt by statute (see, e.g., Article 18, commencing with Section 15260).

2. The project is exempt pursuant to a categorical exemption (see Article 19, commencing with Section 15300) and the application of that categorical exemption is not barred by one of the exceptions set forth in Section 15300.2.

3. The activity is covered by the common-sense exemption. CEQA applies only to projects that 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 could have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

4. The project will be rejected or disapproved by a public agency. (See Section 15270(b)).

5. The project is exempt pursuant to the provisions of Article 12.5, Exemptions for Agricultural Housing, Affordable Housing, and Residential Infill Projects, of Chapter 3 of the CEQA Guidelines.

This document provides information to decision makers regarding a finding that the proposed project would be a “common sense” exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the implementation of the proposed project would not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment, as further discussed in Section 3, Findings Concerning CEQA Exemption.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 REGIONAL LOCATION
The city of California City is in the western Mojave Desert region of Southern California, approximately 18 miles west of Edwards Air Force Base and 20 miles northeast of the city of Mojave. California City Boulevard serves as the city’s main thoroughfare, running east to west through the heart of the community. The surrounding landscape is defined by wide desert plains and distant mountain ranges, with open space and undeveloped land dominating much of the area. The city sits at the northern edge of the Antelope Valley and is bordered by vast tracts of public land and desert terrain. To the southeast lies the community of North Edwards, while to the southwest is the town of Mojave. California City is one of the largest cities in California by land area and serves as a gateway to recreational and military sites in the region.

2.2 PROPOSED PROJECT

2.2.1 Project Background
The proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element would replace the existing 2015–2023 Housing Element and serve as the City’s guiding housing policy document to help meet the City’s future needs of housing for all the City’s economic levels.

As a policy document, the Housing Element would not result in physical changes to the environment but rather encourage the provision of affordable housing within housing development projects in the existing land use designations in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The site inventory (dated September 2025) for the proposed project is shown on Figure 2-1, California City’s’ Sites Inventory.
1 1 Effective January 1, 2023, Government Code Section 65103.5 (Senate Bill [SB] 1214) limits the distribution of copyrighted material associated with the review of development projects. Members of the public wishing to view plans that cannot otherwise be distributed under SB 1214 may make an appointment with the City of California Planning and Building Community Development Department to view them at location e.g., City Hall by sending an email to [email protected]. Plans will also be made available digitally during hearings to consider the proposal.

As part of the proposed project, the proposed 2023-2031 Housing Element includes programs that require the City to make changes to the zoning code, such as:
1) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2C (Large Licensed Residential Care Facilities).
2) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2D (Transitional and Supportive Housing).
3) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2E (Single Room Occupancy Units)
4) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2F (Density Bonus). 5) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2G (Employee Housing [For Farmworkers]).
6) An ordinance of the City Council of California City, California, amending Title 9, Land Use and Development, of the municipal code to add Article 2H (Accessory Dwelling Units). 7) Adoption of an ordinance to amend zoning code articles 1 (General), 2 (Requirements for All Zoning Districts), 3 (General Requirements: All Residential Districts), 4 (RA – Residential/Agricultural District), 5 (R1 – One-Family Residential District Medium Density), 8 (R4 – One-Family Residential District Estate Density), 10 (RM1 – Multiple Family Residential District High Density), and 19 ( C5 – Regional Commercial District) to include additional definitions, permitted use, and updating parking requirements and density bonus based on State law.

2.2.2 Meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation Pursuant to Government Code Section 65584, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) developed the RHNA Plan for Kern County. The RHNA Plan identifies a need for 24,365 new residential units in all of Kern County (including incorporated cities) over an eight-year period (2023 to 2031). The need for 24,365 units is shared and distributed among the communities in the county, with each community’s share determined by

CITY OF CALIFORNIA CITY

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OCTOBER 2025 5
its proportion of the county’s overall household population. Thus, California City’s share of regional housing needs is 427 units for the 2023-2031 period across all income levels.

As detailed in Table 2-1, California City Regional Housing Need, the housing inventory to meet the City’s RHNA includes units already constructed or approved and vacant sites. The City is expected to have a surplus of 1,372 units beyond its RHNA requirement without the need to change the land use designation or zoning of any parcel.

2.2.3 Proposed Housing Element Programs
The proposed project includes programs to encourage housing production and outline steps for future housing implementation. Programs were modified to comply with State law, combined to consolidate programs with similar intent to aid in implementation, or eliminated where the City has completed the identified task. These programs are either informational or would not result in physical changes to the environment, except for the programs listed below. Since CEQA requires the City to evaluate the environmental impacts of direct and reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes, these specific programs are analyzed in Section 3.2, Analysis in Support of Findings.

The proposed Housing Element includes the following programs, which require the City to revise the zoning code, and their proposed changes.

Program 2.2 Land Use Controls
The City will modify the following standards to ensure there are no constraints to residential development.

Parking: The City will review and modify parking standards to remove the two off street parking requirements and set up a sliding scale by unit size, (i.e. studio 1 space, 1 bedroom 1.5 spaces, etc.). In addition, the City will consider modifications to the Zoning Code to better encourage infill development, consider parking reductions, eliminating parking minimums, and explore instituting parking maximums.

Height Limits: The City will modify current height limits and will allow for up to three stories in the RM-1 and RM-2 zoning districts.

RM-2 Development Standards: The City will review and revise development standards (e.g. setbacks, heights, and lot coverage) in the RM-1 and RM-2 to ensure maximum density can be achieved.

Program 2.3 Zoning Amendments
The City will amend the Zoning Code as follows:

Density Bonus: The City will codify compliance with State Density Bonus Law.

Preliminary Applications (SB 330): The city will develop a preliminary application form and procedure or will adopt the Preliminary Application Form developed by HCD pursuant to SB 330.

HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE PROJECT CEQA EXEMPTION MEMORANDUM

CITY OF CALIFORNIA CITY

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
8 PlaceWorks
Streamlined Approval (SB 35): The city will also establish a written policy and/or procedure and other guidance, as appropriate, to specify the SB 35 streamlining approval process and standards for eligible projects under Government Code section 65913.4. The applications will be available on the City’s website for developers interested in pursuing the streamlined process or vesting rights.

Program 2.4 Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types
The City will amend the Zoning Code to address the following development standards and barriers to special-needs housing opportunities:
 Family Definition. Amend the definition of family in the Zoning Ordinance in compliance with State Law.
 Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities. Allow residential care facilities for six or fewer persons, in accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 1568.0831, and residential care facilities regardless of size, in all zones that permit residential uses of the same type, in accordance with the State’s definition of family.
 Farmworker Housing. Consistent with Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6, amend the Zoning Code to clarify that farmworker housing is permitted by right, without a conditional use permit, in single-family zones for six or fewer persons and in zones allowing agricultural uses with no more than 12 units or 36 beds.  Emergency Shelters. Review existing development and managerial standards for emergency shelters to ensure compliance with State law. Adopt parking standards for emergency shelters that do not require more parking for emergency shelters than for other residential or commercial uses in the same zone, in compliance with Government Code Section 65583 (a)(4). Furthermore, the City will amend the definition of emergency shelter to include other interim interventions, including but not limited to, navigation centers, bridge housing, and respite or recuperative care.
 Single Room Occupancy Units. Define single-room occupancy units in compliance with Government Code Section 65583(c)(1) and establish specific development standards that encourage and facilitate the development these units.
 Transitional and Supportive Housing. Amend the Municipal Code to permit both transitional and supportive housing subject only to the same restrictions applied to other residential uses in the same zone treated no differently than residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Additionally, the City will allow supportive housing as a permitted use without discretionary review in zones where multifamily and mixed-use developments are permitted, including non-residential zones permitting multifamily uses (Government Code Section 65583(c)(3)).
 Low Barrier Navigation Centers. Permit low barrier navigation centers – defined as low barrier, temporary, service-enhanced shelters to help homeless individuals and families quickly obtain permanent housing – by-right in zones where mixed-uses are allowed or in

CITY OF CALIFORNIA CITY

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
OCTOBER 2025 9
nonresidential zones that permit multifamily housing (Government Code Section 65662; AB 101).
 Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing. Allow and permit mobile homes/manufactured housing on permanent foundations in the same manner and in the same zone as conventional single-family residential dwellings. Accessory Dwelling Units. Update the Municipal Code to align with recent changes to State ADU Law.

These programs propose amendments to Title 9 of the City’s zoning code, adding new articles on employee housing for farmworkers, large licensed residential care facilities, density bonus, single room occupancy units, accessory dwelling units, and transitional and supportive housing.

In addition, existing articles in the code will be updated to include new definitions, permitted uses, and revisions to density bonus and parking requirements to ensure alignment with State law. These proposed changes are intended to reflect existing State law, and no impact is anticipated because the changes to the zoning code will be fully compliant with State law and can be implemented without requiring a zone district change to any parcel.

3. FINDINGS CONCERNING CEQA EXEMPTION

3.1 CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3):

COMMON SENSE EXEMPTION
The proposed project is exempt as a “common sense” exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet the County’s RHNA allocation that would not have the potential to cause a significant physical effect on the environment.

3.2 ANALYSIS IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS
As mentioned in Section 2.2.1, Project Background, the proposed project includes programs that require the City to revise the zoning code to address development standards and barriers to support a variety of housing types. The proposed amendments to the zoning code would not result in significant environmental impacts because these development standards and facilities are required to comply with the City’s General Plan and its zoning and land use designations.

The proposed project’s programs (Programs 2.2, Land Use Controls; 2.3, Zoning Amendments; and 2.4, Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types) require updates to the zoning code to facilitate a range of housing types, particularly for special needs populations. These amendments will not result in significant environmental effects because all development must remain consistent with the General Plan and existing land use designations. Table 3-1, Proposed 2023–2031 Housing Element and CEQA Determination, provides a summary of each major program and its CEQA applicability, demonstrating that these efforts are intended to bring the City into compliance with State housing law without causing substantial environmental impacts. Additionally, any future zoning or land use changes for individual parcels or as part of a development project would be subject to separate CEQA review at the time they are proposed. Moreover, future byright residential projects would still be required to comply with applicable federal, State, and local regulations, including those protecting biological resources (e.g., the Migratory Bird Treaty Act), wetlands, and air quality. The proposed project’s programs do not directly authorize or result in physical construction, nor do they alter existing land use designations or zoning districts, or facilitate expansion into previously undeveloped areas. Instead, they refine existing zoning standards, support infill development, and allow for a greater diversity of housing types in areas already designated for residential use. As such, these actions are limited to zoning code

updates and administrative procedures, and it can be stated with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant environmental impact.

In conclusion, because these programs are regulatory, aligned with existing planning documents, and subject to ongoing environmental oversight, they would not result in a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the proposed programs are appropriately exempt from further CEQA review under the commonsense exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)).

Dear Joe Barragan:

RE: California City’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting California City’s (City) revised draft housing element update that was received for review on September 3, 2025, along with revisions received on October 16, 2025. The revisions were posted and made available to the public for seven days prior to review. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.

The revised draft element, including revisions, meets the statutory requirements described in HCD’s July 9, 2025 review. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, § 65580 et seq) when it is adopted, submitted to and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.

As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due December 31, 2023. As of today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD encourages the City to expeditiously adopt and submit the housing element to HCD to regain substantial compliance.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Joe Barragan, Director

For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/planning-and-communitydevelopment/housing-elements for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs, and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation at:
https://www.lci.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the continued hard work and collaboration of the housing element update team and looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Alex Goelzer, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approve a Resolution Awarding a Contract to Blua Consulting to Develop the City’s 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP)
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) is a requirement of the Urban Water Management Planning Act (UWMPA) (Division 6, Part 2.6 of the California Water Code (CWC) §10610- 10656). The UWMPs must be prepared every five years and submitted to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). The submittal is required to meet the requirements of the UWMPA, including the most current amendments. The UWMPA applies to urban water suppliers with 3,000 or more connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually.

In 2025, City Staff put out an RFP to have a firm update the City's UWMP. The City received four proposals from West and Associates, Blua Consulting, SA and Associates, and ERSC. An evaluation committee involving multiple city employees evaluated all the proposals and determined that all four firms were qualified. The evaluation committee recommends that the City hire Blua Consulting to perform the 2025 UWMP Update. Staff looked at multiple factors in the proposals: the hours allocated for the update, the not-to-exceed number, the specified scope of work, and experience working with the City in the past to make their determination.

All four submissions were deemed qualified. Blua Consulting edged scored the highest in the process, due to the experience category. Staff recommends that Blua Consulting be awarded the contract for the RFP.

The proposals included:

Name: West and Associates
Total Hours: 231
Total Scope $35,210
Not to Exceed Number: $36,800

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization to Release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Professional Auditing Services and Consider Selection of an Ad Hoc Audit Committee for Selection
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

Each year, the City undergoes a complete audit of its financial transactions and activities by an outside independent audit firm. The function of the independent audit is to provide an annual review of all City funds and financial transactions in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, as established by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA); Government Auditing Standards established by the Comptroller General of the United States; the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996; and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F (Audit Requirements). Following the audit, the independent auditor issues an “opinion letter” and other reports to the City’s management, addressing the fair presentation of financial position of the financial statements, matters involving internal controls over financial reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. Independent auditors perform a review of internal controls of all significant accounting procedures, report their observations concerning any significant deficiencies, and make recommendations to correct the identified weaknesses in a “management letter” issued to the City Council.

Government Code section 12410.6(b) indicates that a local agency shall not employ a public accounting firm to provide audit services to a local agency if the lead audit partner or coordinating audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit, or the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit, has performed audit services for that local agency for six consecutive fiscal years. Bryant L. Jolley, Certified Public Accountants, has completed the last six fiscal year audits for the City of California City.

With the current auditor having reached the statutory limit, and in light of the City’s current fiscal distress status, City staff suggests that it would be most appropriate for the City to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP), a full-scale competitive process, to secure an independent auditing firm not currently engaged with the City’s financial matters.

With the City Council’s approval, the attached RFP for Professional Auditing Services will be released. In addition to the City’s routine distribution activities, City staff anticipates posting the

CC 4
4898-7406-7085 v1
RFP on two professional association web pages, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers (CSMFO) and the California Association of Public Procurement Officials, Inc. (CAPPO).

The RFP contemplates the following timeline:

Issue RFP: February 11, 2026
Response/Due Date: March 13, 2026
RFP Award: March 24, 2026 City Council Meeting
Staff also proposes that the City Council appoint two members to an Ad Hoc Audit Selection Committee to participate with staff members in the evaluation procedures listed in Section V of the RFP to select a vendor for consideration of award by the City Council on March 24, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None with this action.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the release of the RFP and appoint two members to an Ad Hoc Audit Selection Committee.

• Total all-inclusive maximum price of the base contract for the term of engagement, which is also to be included in the format provided in the attachment (Appendix A) on the second page of the sealed dollar cost bid with the costs of the additional required procedures and optional items.
b. Hourly Rates of the Firm’s Employees
The second page of the sealed dollar cost bid should also include a schedule, presented in the format provided in the attachment (Appendix A), of the hourly rates of the firm’s employees for any additional work to be performed that would be included in a separate agreement.
c. Manner of Payment
Progress payments will be made on the basis of hours of work completed during the course of the engagement. Interim billing shall cover a period of not less than a calendar month. No more than 90% of the total fee may be billed prior to delivery of final audit reports and financial statements. The costs must be detailed on the invoices for the City, Single Audit, and each agreed-upon procedure report.

VI. EVALUATION PROCEDURES
A. Review of Proposals
The City will use a point formula during the review process to score proposals. Each proposal will be scored by each of the criteria described in section V.B.4. At this point, firms with an unacceptably low technical score will be eliminated from further consideration.

After the technical score for each firm has been established, the sealed dollar cost bid will be opened and additional points will be added to the technical score based on the price bid. The maximum score for price will be assigned to the firm offering the lowest total all-inclusive maximum price. Appropriate fractional scores will be assigned to other proposers.

B. Evaluation Criteria

4907-5670-6445 v1
Proposals will be evaluated using three (3) sets of criteria. Firms meeting the mandatory criteria will have their proposals evaluated and scored for both technical qualifications and price. The following represent the principal selection criteria, which will be considered during the evaluation process.

1. Mandatory Elements
• The firm is independent and licensed to practice in California. • The firm’s professional personnel have received adequate continuing professional education within the preceding two (2) years. • The firm has no conflict of interest with regard to any other work performed by the firm for the City.
• The firm submits a copy of its most recent external quality control review report and the firm has a record of quality audit work.

2. The firm adheres to the instructions in this request for proposals on preparing and submitting the proposal. Technical Qualifications (Maximum Points – 70) • Expertise and Experience (Maximum Points – 35)
o The firm’s past experience and performance on comparable government engagements.
o The quality of the firm’s professional personnel to be assigned to the engagement and the quality of the firm’s management support personnel to be available for technical consultation.
o Qualifications will also be assessed independently of the firmprovided information by verification of provided references from similar engagements.
• Audit Approach (Maximum Points – 35)
o Adequacy of proposed staffing plan for various segments of the engagement.
o Approach to gaining an understanding of the City’s internal controls.
o Approach to audit testwork.

3. Price (Maximum Points – 30)

COST WILL NOT BE THE PRIMARY FACTOR IN THE SELECTION OF A FIRM.

4907-5670-6445 v1
B. Oral Presentations
During the evaluation process, three or more firms may be requested to make an oral presentation to the City’s evaluation team. Such presentations will provide the firms with an opportunity to answer any questions that the City may have on a firm's proposal. Not all firms may be asked to make such oral presentations. Partners, managers, and supervisory staff assigned to the audit should attend the oral presentation.

It is anticipated that a selected firm will be approved by the City Council at the Council meeting on March 24, 2026, which the selected firm is expected to attend virtually or in person.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Barragan, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approve Installation of a Donated Kiln at the Strata Center BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

A kiln which is a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete processes such as hardening, and drying aiding in turning clay into pottery was donated to the park about three years ago. At that time, the Arts Commission worked with Theresa Oaks to find a suitable location for it. At first, they were going to locate it in the large room that she used as her office. Upon closer inspection, it made more sense to use the corner room because it has an electrical breaker box, and a new outlet would be required to accommodate the kiln.

Duane Vasquez became aware of the kiln when he became an Arts Commissioner board member last December. Sometime in April, he took on the project to have the kiln installed. The City purchased the materials needed to install the kiln in the corner room in the Strata Center. All the electrical work and the connection to the kiln was going to be done in-house.

This item was brought to the California City Park Commission for discussion on January 21, 2026, and with a 5-0 vote it was decided to bring this item to council for approval to install the kiln at the Strata Center in Central Park.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council have a discussion, listen to public comments, and provide direction to the Interim City Manager on how to proceed.

ATTACHMENTS:

None.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Christy Marie Lopez, Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Related to Candidate Statements for the June 2, 2026 Special Election For Filling a Vacancy on the City Council

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 22, 2025, the City Council approved several resolutions related to calling for an Special Election on June 2, 2026. As part of that process, 4 resolutions were proposed to be adopted by the City Council:

1. Resolution calling the Special Election to fill the vacancy to be held on June 2, 2026; and

2. Resolution requesting that this Special Election be consolidated with the Statewide Primary Election being held by the County on June 2, 2026; and

3. Resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements; and

4. Resolution concerning procedures in the case of a tie vote; and Due to an oversight, the resolution that related to candidate statements was not attached to the staff report. While the Council voted to pass said resolution, out of an abundance of caution, the City Attorney’s Office is recommending the City Council consider and adopt the attached resolution to govern candidate statements at the June 2, 2026 Special Election.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution concerning procedures for candidate statements.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed resolution.

CC 6
4896-8272-7053 v1

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The adoption of the proposed resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to Public Resource Code section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15320, 15378 and 15061(b)(3) since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the City’s action would cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 3. PAYMENT
A. Translations:

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
February 10, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Sean Grayson, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Update on Immediate Actions in Response to the City’s Fiscal Distress Resolution
BACKGROUND/ DISCUSSION:

On January 27, 2026, the City Council determined that the City was experiencing fiscal distress.

They adopted a modified Resolution 26-3207 (see attached) and gave direction to the City Manager to reduce overall general fund expenditure authorization for fiscal year 2025/26 by $1,200,000 and to bring a plan to implement the reduction as quickly as possible including a report on status at the February 10, 2026, City Council meeting.

Immediate action is needed relative to the current fiscal year budget and additional, significant, reductions will be required in the next fiscal year budget. If the City were to continue with the current budget and adopt a similar budget in fiscal year 2026/27, the City would exhaust the fund balance of the general fund and would have insufficient funds to pay expenses at some point in the fiscal year due to temporary cash deficits related to ongoing grant and other non-general fund reimbursables.

The City Council’s direction and input from the public at and after the meeting was considered.

Communication was made with all employees providing the direction and seeking input from all staff on both expense reduction and revenue generation. The Miscellaneous Bargaining unit provided written recommendations. The Management Team was tasked to make recommendations specific to their department and the City as a whole. Vendors with professional service contracts were contacted and requested to provide fee and/or service reduction recommendations. All of the input provided was considered by the Team and the recommendations in this report have been generated.

Fire Department Contract Reductions
In December of 2025 the City Council contracted with the County of Kern for the Kern County Fire Department to assume suppression and fire prevention services (excluding cannabis related fire prevention services) from the California City Fire Department. This included monetization of the fire department facility, apparatus, and equipment to reduce the City’s contribution to the contract on a sliding scale for the three years of the contract. The City’s contribution under the contract to Kern County for the second half of fiscal year 2025/26 is $44,566 with 9% credit toward the $3,980,000 equipment credit. Fire suppression salaries, benefits, and related employment costs

CB 1
were eliminated as of January 1, 2026, which is a $979,378.07 net general fund budget reduction.

The fire contract reduction was achieved prior to direction to reduce the budget in this action and is not included in the net reduction of this action but is shown as it will be reflected in the final budget amendment approved by the City Council.

Reduced Budget Expenditures By Department
Budget reductions do not impact positions. Where salary reductions are indicated they include salary savings not position elimination. The following represents the proposed budget reductions by department:

City Council
Travel $1,500
City Manager
Salary reductions and travel $10,800
Finance
Salary reductions for unfilled position $38,000
Human Resources
Salary reductions $33,000
General Government
Subscriptions, supplies, postage, utilities, and equipment $21,000 Planning

Professional services $10,000
Animal Control
Salary reduction and contracts $7,000
Fire
Equipment, supplies, utilities, and professional services $250,699 Utilities All Departments
Electricity, gas, phone, internet $25,000

CB 1
Golf Course (TDA)
Part-time salary reduction, utilities, grounds, and special purchases $20,500 (debit against general fund supplementation of fund)
Total Reduction By Department $673,499
Reduced Budget Expenditures Contracts
Staff recommends the following budget reduction through contracts:
• Cancel the contracts with Price Page and Company for financial services including Finance Director consultant services $150,000
• Reduce or eliminate minor other contracts across all departments $60,000 • Reduce legal services largely by reduced requests for services $50,000 • Reduce Information Technology and related contracts $50,000 Total Reduction Contracts $310,000
Staffing
Voluntary Separations
It is recommended that a one-time lump sum payment be offered to all employees that will voluntarily separate from service within a prescribed time frame. The city has used the CalPERS “golden handshake” process before, but other process may be applicable to the City’s current financial condition. The specific cost and mechanism of this offer can be developed should the City Council approve the concept. It is anticipated that 10 personnel would be eligible for such a program. The program would have a one-time cost to the City with an ongoing reduction in costs related to either freezing created vacancies or back filling them with less costly employees.

Staffing Reductions
Staff recommends staffing changes that both eliminate vacant positions and layoff filled positions.

Layoffs are subject to the process identified in the City’s personnel rules and may create “bumping rights” depending upon the position and the seniority and status of the person filling the position.

The savings reflected are budget savings for the current year, future years savings would be more than double as they would reflect the annualized cost of the position. • Freeze and remove any management position vacated for the remainder of the fiscal year o Savings: Unknown
• Remove the vacant Dial-A-Ride dispatcher position. It is anticipated that a future grant funded driver position will be needed separate from this action. o Savings: $26,000
*non-general fund and not included in total below
• Remove the Facility Maintenance Worker Position that was approved for but not removed in the FY 2025/26 budget development action.
o Savings: $18,000

CB 1
• Layoff the Deputy Fire Marshal
o Savings: $62,500
• Layoff the Administrative Assistant (formerly assigned to fire) o Savings: $41,000
• Lay off the Mechanic
o Savings: $33,000
• Layoff the Heavy Equipment Operator
o Savings: $35,000
• Layoff an Administrative Secretary
o Savings: $31,000
Total Reduction Staffing (not including lump sum payments) $212,500 Enhanced Revenues
Staff recommends a very conservative calculation to enhance revenues through two discreet actions:
• Adopt an interim update to the master fee schedule including bringing fees within 80% of regional comparables and/or costs until a fee and allocation study can be completed. Fee increases would be anticipated to be $21,050 largely related to permit fees. • Conduct a sale of all items previously surplused by the City Council but still in the City’s possession and surplus all vehicles not assigned for current use and not anticipated for future use. The revenue would be anticipated to be $20,000.

Total Enhanced Revenues $41,050
Budget Impact of All Adjustments
Should the City Council approve all adjustments the next reduction of expenditures to revenues is $1,237,049. Presuming no other changes in revenues, the impact would be a structurally balanced general fund budget for the current fiscal year.

Next Steps
Department level expenditure reduction and revenue enhancements can be accounted for immediately with direction to the City Manager and then adopted as a comprehensive budget amendment in a future action. Layoff and position eliminations require following the City’s layoff procedures including a 15-day notice to impacted employees. Notices could be provided and the action ratified in a future action of the City Council. The interim fee schedule adoption requires a noticed public hearing to adopt. All provided direction could be implemented and ratified at the March 10, 2026, City Council meeting where a line-item level budget reconciliation would be provided.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of this action will be related to the direction of the City Council to accept or amend the recommendations. If all recommended actions are taken the effective fiscal impact is a

CB 1
reduction of the general fund budget of $1,237,049 which does not include the cost of any voluntary separation incentives.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on immediate budget reduction actions and call for a public hearing on March 10, 2026, to consider ratification of a budget amendment and adoption of an interim master fee schedule.

SUBJECT: Resolution of the City of California City Council to Authorize the Interim City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Splash Zone Inc. for Equipment and Installation Services for the Commercial Recirculating Splash Pad Project, with a Total Value of $397,890.50, and to Approve Related Contingency and Construction Management Costs in the Total Amount of $55,705.00 BACKGROUND:

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) was signed into law and established the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, which together make up the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) program.

The City of California City received an allocation of $3,396,463 from ARPA.

The Splash Park and Skate Park projects meet Title I requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and SLRF guidelines. The skate park is complete, and the splash pad restroom, flatwork, and lighting were finished by December 2025. To ensure the Splash Pad project is fully operational, the City must advance to phase two, which involves procuring splash pad equipment and coordinating its installation by specialized contractors (the “Project”).

The City has now issued multiple requests for proposals (“RFPs”) for the Project. On March 6, 2025, the City received a single bid in response to the first RFP in the amount of $1,050,000, which was considered unacceptable due to its high cost. On May 6, 2025, the City issued a second RFP, which attracted just one bid that was rejected by City staff due to insufficient contractor participation. A third RFP, issued on October 31, 2025, received no submissions to the City Clerk.

Following the City's instructions, the City Engineer released an additional, informal RFP to the open market. Splash Zone Inc. was the sole respondent to such RFP, on January 12, 2026 (the “Proposal”). A breakdown of the Proposal is as follows:

Splash Pad Features $169,218.80
Construction and installation $228,671.70
TOTAL BID AMOUNT $397,890.50
This Project will improve the area's look and provide a year-round gathering place, especially for residents during summer and for skate park users.

CB 3
4923-2241-8057 v3
Staff also recommend a $39,789 (10%) construction contingency for unforeseen work. Council approval is required to exceed this amount.

Staff will also allocate $15,916 to BHT Engineering, Inc. for construction management, construction staking, and geotechnical services. This ensures that the city receives work meeting the required standards. BHT and its geotechnical subcontractor will provide ongoing inspection, materials sampling, and testing under the City's Quality Assurance Program to confirm compliance with contract plans and specifications.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total Project cost is $453,595.50, which shall be paid from ARPA funds. The specific breakdown of Project costs is as follows:
