AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 3
Meeting: June 17, 2025
Title: A Resolution Replacing the 2025-29 Capital Improvement Program (“CIP”) as Part of the 2024 Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) Nexus Study, with the 2026-30 CIP due to New Projects Identified and Proposed to be Partially Funded through DIFs Presented by: Daniella Andrade, Senior Management Analyst Recommendation: Adopt Resolution CC 2025-65 Amending Exhibit B of Resolution CC 2024-57, by reference, replacing the previously adopted Fiscal Year 2025-2029 CIP with the recently adopted Fiscal Year 2026-2030 CIP due to the identification of one (1) new project “Alleyway Roadway Construction Project” proposed to be partially funded through DIFs and two (2) estimated start year to modifications, adjusting start year to FY26/27 for the “City Hall and Public Works Yard Master Plan and Design Project” and “Expansion of Citywide Public Safety Camera and Surveillance System Project”.

Under the California Mitigation Fee Act “MFA” (Government Code Section 66000, et seq.), a city may impose development impact fees on new developments on the basis that additional development generates an additional need for public facilities and services, including but not limited to parkland and community centers, Fire and Police services, and transportation facilities. For large jurisdictions, all development impact fee-funded capital projects should be programmed through the local agency’s Capital Improvement Plan or Program “CIP” (Gov.

Code Section 66016.5(a)(6)). By maintaining and programming a CIP, the city ensures a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of the fee as required by the MFA (Gov. Code Section 66001(a)(2)).

In July 2024, the Covina City Council adopted Resolution CC 2024-57, adopting the 2024 Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, Impact Fee Schedule, and, as part, the 2025-2029 Covina CIP as “Exhibit B” to that Resolution.

Section 5 of the adopted Resolution requires an amendment if any subsequent CIPs identify new projects or changes to projects that are proposed to be partially funded through Development Impact Fees. The 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program, adopted by the City Council on May 6, 2025, includes one new project, “Alleyway Roadway Construction Project”, proposed to be partially funded through Transportation Impact Fees with an anticipated start in FY 2026. As such, the attached Resolution will serve to update the CIP document with this addition and amend anticipated start timeframes for other proposed capital improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The action to amend Exhibit “B”, CIP, from the originally adopted Resolution CC 2024-57 has no fiscal impact.

Rather, the amendment helps to ensure the city’s compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and maintain transparent practices with regard to the management of DIFs. Revenues generated through the collection of Development Impact fees are set aside in restricted accounts and are only used for Capital Improvement Projects that increase the City’s capacity to serve the public and may not be used to fund existing deficiencies.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This action is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines because it has no potential to result in a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly.

Respectfully submitted,

ATTACHMENT A
RESOLUTION CC 2025-65

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COVINA, CALIFORNIA, REPLACING THE “2025-2029 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM” WITH THE “2026-2030 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM”, AS PART OF THE 2024 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE

NEXUS STUDY (ORIGINALLY ADOPTED UNDER RESOLUTION CC
2024-57), AND DETERMINING THE ACTION AS EXEMPT UNDER THE

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, residential, commercial, and industrial growth within the City of Covina creates an ever-increasing need for new street, traffic, police, fire, general government, park, library, and other public infrastructure facilities and improvements (“Public Facilities/Improvements”) throughout the City to meet the demand of new development and continue providing those high-quality public services expected by persons who live and work within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the purpose of impact fees is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by requiring new development to contribute to the cost of public facilities needed to mitigate the impacts of new development on the need for public facilities; and WHEREAS, on July 16, 2024, the City Council, at a duly noticed public hearing, adopted Resolution CC 2024-57, adopting the 2024 Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, the FY2024/25 Development Impact Fee Schedule, and, the 2025-2029 Covina Capital Improvement Program as part of the nexus study; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution CC 2025-38, adopting the FY25/26 Capital Improvement Program and the 5-Year 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS, under Section 7 of Resolution CC 2024-57 entitled “Adoption of a Capital Improvement Program”, the it is required that any subsequent City Capital Improvement Program that identifies new projects or changes to projects that are proposed to be partially funded through Development Impact Fees will require an amendment of Exhibit B “Capital Improvement Program”; and
WHEREAS, the FY25-26 Capital Improvement Program and 5-Year 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program identifies one new project proposed to be funded through Development Impact Fees, and also presents minor updates to fiscal year start dates for two projects previously identified within the 5-Year 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program and identified in the 5-Year 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COVINA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HERBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council hereby adopts the findings outlined in the Recitals above.

Resolution CC 2025-65 Page 2 of 3
SECTION 2. CEQA. The approval of the Capital Improvement Program associated with the Nexus Study was reviewed following the criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council finds that approval to Repeal and Replace Exhibit B “2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program” with the “2026-2030 City of Covina Capital Improvement Program” attached hereto as Exhibit A, will not have a significant impact on the environment and are exempt from CEQA under Section 15061(b)(3) of State CEQA Guidelines because the Capital Improvement Program is a prioritizing and funding allocation program and cannot and does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. No physical activity will occur until all required environmental review is conducted at the time the physical improvements prioritized in the Capital Improvement Program are undertaken at a future, unspecified date. Therefore, the approval and adoption of the Capital Improvement Program associated with the Nexus Study does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Furthermore, approval of the Capital Improvement Program associated with the Nexus Study, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because the Capital Improvement Program is not a “project” as defined by CEQA, but involves the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

SECTION 3. Amendment of Exhibit B to Resolution 2024-57 CC. “Adoption of a Capital Improvement Program”. The City Council hereby repeals and replaces the previously adopted 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program with the 2026-2030 5-year Capital Improvement Program attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and incorporated by this reference, as a part of the Nexus Study. Consistent with Section 7 of Resolution 2024-57 CC, Subsequent 5-year Capital Improvement Programs, which identify new projects or changes to previously identified projects that are proposed to be partially funded out of Development Impact Fee funding, will require further amendment of Exhibit B.

SECTION 4. Severability. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections hereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each section, subsection, clause and phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, subsections, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this resolution.

APPROVED and PASSED this 17th day of June, 2025.
