SUBMITTED BY: Chadrick Smalley, Community Development Director SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EMERYVILLE APPROVING AN UPDATE TO THE CITY OF EMERYVILLE’S TITLE VI

PROGRAM AND ASSURANCES

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the City of Emeryville’s Title VI Program and Assurances as Adopted in 2023 with minor updates for 2026.

BACKGROUND
The City of Emeryville was a sub-recipient under Alameda-Contra Costa Transit (AC Transit) for $834,077 from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the construction of a pedestrian plaza between Wareham’s EmeryStation West project (“Transit Center”) and the Emeryville Amtrak Station.

These federal funds require that the City establish a program compliant with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ensure all citizens equal access to transit services. As the City of Emeryville is neither a direct recipient nor a transit provider, the requirements for a program are limited to providing assurances of non-discriminatory practices, notification of a complaint process, and development of multi-lingual complaint forms. At a 2022 meeting between FTA, AC Transit and City of Emeryville, staff confirmed the federal fund requirements related to updates to the Title VI obligations are required to be updated in perpetuity on a tri-annual basis.

DISCUSSION
In September 2014, AC Transit informed staff of their adoption of a Title VI Program and requested that Emeryville, as a sub-recipient, seek City Council approval of the City’s program complaint with sub-recipient requirements. Staff contacted the regional FTA Title VI office and was directed to make three assurances:
▪ Freedom from discrimination
▪ Complaint procedure
▪ Investigative procedure
Revised Title VI Program and Assurances
City Council Meeting | September 15, 2026

In 2022, AC Transit staff indicated updates are required every three years in perpetuity.

The 2023 update included incorporating best practices from other subrecipients and new census data. For 2026, the plan as adopted in 2023 is further revised to:
▪ Update the current webpages
▪ Provide QR code and exterior posting for better access to forms ▪ Incorporate revised language data from Census reporting in 2025 Emeryville’s total population of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) is 1,162 people, which represents 9.4% of the total people in Emeryville, and four different language groups (Spanish, Indo-European, Asian and Pacific Island, and ‘Other”). No language group has more than has 5% or more of the total Emeryville population that speak English less than “Very Well”.

Title VI Complaint Procedures (English, ਪੰਜਾਬੀ, Español, and 中文) As a subrecipient of federal dollars, the City of Emeryville must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ensure that services and benefits are provided in a nondiscriminatory manner. The City of Emeryville has implemented a Title VI Complaint Procedure, which outlines a process for local disposition of Title VI complaints and is consistent with the guidelines found in Federal Transit Administration Circular 4702.1B, dated October 1, 2012.

Anyone who believes they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, or national origin City of Emeryville may file a Title VI complaint by completing and submitting the agency's Title VI Complaint Form. The City of Emeryville investigates complaints received no more than 180 days after the alleged incident. The City of Emeryville will only process complaints that are complete.

Within 10 business days of receiving the complaint, the City of Emeryville will review it to determine if our office has jurisdiction. The complainant will receive an acknowledgment letter informing them if the complaint will be investigated by our office. The city of Emeryville has 30 days to investigate the complaint.

The complainant will be notified in writing of the cause to any planned extension of the 30-day rule.

If more information is needed to resolve the case, the City of Emeryville may contact the complainant.

The complainant has 10 business days from the date of the letter to send the requested information to the investigator assigned to the case. If the complainant does not contact the investigator or does not receive the additional information within 10 business days, the City of Emeryville may administratively close the case.

A case may also be administratively closed if the complainant no longer wishes to pursue their case. After the investigator reviews the complaint, he or she will issue one of two letters to the complainant: a closing letter or a letter of finding (LOF). A closing letter summarizes the allegations and states that there was no Title VI violation and that the case will be closed. An LOF summarizes allegations and interviews regarding the alleged incident, and explains whether any disciplinary action, additional staff member training, or other action will occur. If the complainant wishes to appeal the decision, they have 10 business days after the date of the letter or LOF to do so.

A complaint may also be filed with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Office of Civil Rights via mail:

12 Public Participation Plan
About the City of Emeryville
On November 4, 2014, the voters of Emeryville passed Measure U which established the City of Emeryville as a charter city for the limited purpose of taxation, assessment, and a system for a real property transfer tax. The City was originally founded in 1896 as a general law city. The City of Emeryville has a City CouncilCity Manager form of government. Under this form of government, the Emeryville City Council is the legislative body responsible for setting city policy and adopting the city budget. The City Council appoints a City Manager, who is the administrative head of the city government. The City Manager is responsible for policy implementation and management of all city operations. The City Manager advises and makes recommendations to the City Council concerning any conditions or situations which require council direction or policy determination and prepares the recommended budget for consideration and approval by the City Council.

Purposes of this Plan
As a City, equitable public access to services and communication is central to all operations. Staff serve the populace under direction of the City Manager. This Plan services to highlight and summarize those efforts and resources available for providing equitable access to City information particularly as pertaining to transportation service changes in Emeryville by the City Summary of Outreach Efforts
The following is a summary of outreach efforts conducted by City of Emeryville as they relate to Title VI requirements under the Public Participation Plan.

City Meetings Open to the Public
All City Council Meetings, Commissions and Committees are all public with invitations for participation in accordance with the Brown Act. Participants can attend online via Zoom and can if requested receive translated captions. The description from Zoom of available services says “ Zoom translated captions enable users to have the speech in a meeting or webinar automatically translated in real-time to captions in another language. For example, if the speaker is speaking English in a meeting, captions can be made available in Spanish, Chinese, … and more.”
Public Board for Translated Agendas
Pursuant to California Government Code 54953.4, the City in 2026 installed a new board allowing for translation of City agendas by the public.
13 Translation of Public Outreach Materials
Recent efforts to solicit participation in City events, planning, project development and service delivery have included translation, as follows:
• Coastal Clean Up Poster – translated to Spanish in 2024 and 2026 • Emeryville Crescent Fact Sheet - translated to Spanish • Emeryville Crescent Community Day Poster - translated to Spanish • Powell St Redesign Project – translated to Cantonese and Spanish Additionally in Emeryville, contractors and service providers provide materials in many languages including:
• Water Board
• StopWaste
• AC Transit
Website
Currently, the City of Emeryville posts notices and announcements on the City’s website. Additional public input can be obtained by the Title VI Complaint Form, which is available as a download in English, Spanish, Punjabi and Chinese. The City’s website was restructured and page migrated to a new provider in 2025.

This new website includes at the top of every page translation service to Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese. A QR code on the exterior bulletin board leads to this webpage.

The City participates in outreach with regional transportation commissions such as the Alameda County Transportation Commission and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission which provide the translation of outreach materials in Spanish and Chinese, including leave-behind materials.

Newsflashes
Newflashes are sent to subscribers, for which the City Community Services Division has 7,000 subscribers and, as with all webpage content for the City of Emeryville, can be translated via an embedded translation drop down menu for Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Tagalog and Vietnamese translation.

PDF Translation
Smaller PDF documents can be translated using online tools such as https://dashboard.doctranslator.com and the City will look to such resources to expand multilingual outreach materials.

Additional Services Provided
Specific projects have included the use of translators on-site for project charettes or public workshops.

The offering of possible telephonic translation services is under consideration. 14 Language Assistance Plan
Overview
The first section in this document describes the purpose of the Language Assistance Plan (LAP). The second section in this document provides the four-factor Limited English Proficient (LEP) analysis (as outlined by the Department of Transportation (DOT) used to identify LEP needs and assistance measures. The fourfactor LEP analysis includes:

Factor 1: The number or proportion of LEP persons in the service area who may be served or are likely to encounter program, activity or service.

Factor 2: The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with the program, activity or service.

Factor 3: The nature and importance of programs, activities or services provided to the LEP population.

Factor 4: The resources available to City of Emeryville and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

The third and final section discusses the implementation of the Language Assistance Plan, which includes methodologies for identifying LEP individuals, providing services, establishing policies, monitoring the LAP, and recommendations for future LAP implementations.

Purpose of the Language Assistance Plan
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. One critical concern addressed by Title VI is the language barrier that Limited English Proficiency (LEP) persons face with respect to accessing information about and using transit service. Subrecipients must ensure that this group has adequate access to the agency’s programs and activities, including public participation opportunities.

Executive Order 13166, titled “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency,” forbids funding recipients from “restricting an individual in any way in the enjoyment of any advantage or privilege enjoyed by others receiving any service, financial aid, or other benefit under the program,” or from “utilize[ing] criteria or methods of administration which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination because of their race, color, or national origin, or have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of the program as respects to individuals of a particular race, color, or national origin.”
FTA Circular 4702.1B was developed by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and details the administrative and reporting requirements for recipients of FTA financial assistance to comply with Title VI and related executive orders including on LEP.

The DOT published guidance that directed its recipients to ensure meaningful access to the benefits, services, information, and other important portions of their programs and activities for LEP customers. 15 The City of Emeryville’s LAP includes a four-factor analysis and implementation plan that complies with the requirements of DOT LEP guidance.

Four Factor Analysis
Factor 1: The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be encountered by City of Emeryville staff.

City Emeryville holds a unique position regarding meeting the Title VI requirements. As a subrecipient of FTA 5310 grant funding, the City of Emeryville does not offer transportation to the general public, rather it provides infrastructure used for transit and other modes of travel other than shuttle rides and paratransit. Therefore, transit services are nearly always provided by other transit operators in the jurisdiction of Emeryville. These providers (AC Transit, Amtrak and Emery Go-Round) typically have broader service areas than Emeryville and robust translation services specific to their services.

Census Data
The U.S. Census Bureau 2023 American Community Survey Limited English Proficiency (Table S1601) estimates that of the 12,342 Emeryville residents, 37.4%, speak another language than English at home.

Of the total Emeryville Population 9.4% indicate they speak English “less than very well.” Of the Limited Language residents: 205 residents or 1.7% speak English “less than very well” with Spanish as their primary language, 331 residents or 2.7% speak English “less than very well” with an IndoEuropean language, 610 or 4.9% speak English “less than very well” with an Asian or Pacific Island language, and 16 residents or 0.1% speaking other languages and not speaking English very well.

Factor 2: The frequency with which LEP persons come in contact with the program, activity or service.

No data is available for calls or walk-in for services by language. Staff with language skills in Spanish and Chinese are available on-site upon request. Phone services are being pursued for real time translation for walk-ins.

Factor 3: The nature and importance of programs, activities or services provided to the LEP population.

Many City services, including infrastructure provision, are universally accessible regardless of language spoken. Wayfinding and signage is being developed with universal iconography to increase access by all language users.

Factor 4: The resources available to City of Emeryville and overall cost to provide LEP assistance.

Transit agencies and transportation commissions, along with granting agencies, allow for written, on-site translations. Web based translation is available for all online documents and limited onsite translation is available. Phone translation services are under consideration. Dedicated, in-person translation services is beyond the capacity of the City.
16 SUMMARY
The results of the Four Factor Analysis can be summarized with the following points:
• City of Emeryville provides bilingual staff for Spanish and Chinese upon request and is considering access to a translation line to ensure clients using over 300 languages can receive support. • There is no data available for contacts by people with limited English proficiency. • The most commonly-used language of potential Emeryville clients is English (for 62.6% of residents it is the only language and for another 28% it is spoken well) with those speaking less than very well making up 9.4% of residents.
• No known consumers were underserved due to language barriers. • Provision of transportation infrastructure is only one service of many that the City of Emeryville supports.
• Less than 1% of City of Emeryville’s operating budget supports language services. • City of Emeryville spends more than $10,000 per year on specific outreach efforts for outreach on design alternatives and prioritization of specific transportation infrastructure including support of transit operations.
17 Language Assistance Implementation Plan
Methodologies
Identifying LEP Individuals
As evidenced by the Four Factor Analysis, City of Emeryville does not have a significant number of LEP individuals who connect with the City of Emeryville. If using Spanish, Cantonese, or Mandarin, callers reaching the receptionist will be directed to speak with designated staff who are bilingual. Should demographics shift and additional LEP contacts result, the City of Emeryville is considering contracting for conferencing in a telephonic translation service to support calls. The translation service identifies the language of the caller (with over 300 languages available) and provides a translator. Thus, LEP individuals can be supported and should not have a language barrier when using City of Emeryville services.

Providing Services
Outreach documents are provided in Spanish, Chinese, and Punjabi and include:
• Title VI Notice to the Public
• Title VI Complaint Form
• Title VI Complaint Procedures
Online documents can readily be translated using freely available online translation services, such as Google translate.

Monitoring
The Title VI Plan will be evaluated and updated every three years.

Employee Training
If the City of Emeryville contracts for conferencing in a translation service to support calls where the translation service identifies the language of the caller, staff will be trained on how to contact the service and facilitate the clients use of the available resources and identify where the Title VI Notice to the Public, Complaint Form and Complaint Procedures can be found to provide to anyone requesting the forms.

Safe Harbor Provision
The Federal Transit Authority Circular 4702.1B states:

DOT has adopted DOJ’s Safe Harbor Provision, which outlines circumstances that can provide a “safe harbor” for recipients regarding translation of written materials for LEP populations. The Safe Harbor Provision stipulates that, if a recipient provides written translation of vital documents for each eligible LEP language group that constitutes five percent (5%) or 1,000 persons, whichever is less, of the total population of persons eligible to be served or likely to be affected or encountered, then such action will be considered strong evidence of compliance with the recipient’s written translation obligations. Translation of non-vital documents, if needed, can be provided orally. If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the five percent (5%) trigger, the 18 recipient is not required to translate vital written materials but should provide written notice in the primary language of the LEP language group of the right to receive competent oral interpretation of those written materials, free of cost.

These safe harbor provisions apply to the translation of written documents only. They do not affect the requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP individuals through competent oral interpreters where oral language services are needed and are reasonable. A recipient may determine, based on the Four Factor Analysis, that even though a language group meets the threshold specified by the Safe Harbor Provision, written translation may not be an effective means to provide language assistance measures. For example, a recipient may determine that a large number of persons in that language group have low literacy skills in their native language and therefore require oral interpretation. In such cases, background documentation regarding the determination shall be provided to FTA in the Title VI Program." 19 Membership of Non-Elected Committees and Councils

Title VI Facility Equity Analysis

RE: Cal Cities 2026 Resolution Packet
Sixty days before the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Cal Cities members may submit resolutions on issues of importance to cities. This year, Cal Cities received one resolution by the July 25 deadline.

The attached packet contains the proposed resolution, background information, supporting letters from cities and city officials, and an analysis of the resolution by Cal Cities. The packet includes detailed information on the resolution process and the next steps for the resolution.

We encourage each city council to consider the resolution and determine a position so your voting delegate can represent your city’s position on the resolution.

Voting Delegates: City councils must appoint a voting delegate to vote during the General Assembly. Each city may also appoint up to two alternate delegates. If your city has not already done so, please appoint your voting delegate by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. The voting delegate packet contains more information.

The 2026 General Assembly will be held Friday, Sept. 25, at 8:30 a.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center during the Annual Conference and Expo.

Referred to: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Policy Committee WHEREAS, California cities have historically been responsible for adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing housing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the streets, water, wastewater, public safety, parks, transportation, and other infrastructure and services necessary to support responsible, environmentally sound, and well-planned residential growth; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities is dedicated to protecting and expanding local control for municipalities across the state to ensure their orderly growth and development; and
WHEREAS, the League of California Cities recognizes that local zoning is a primary function of cities and an essential component of home rule, and that a city’s general plan should guide its land use planning and strategic decision-making free from pre-emption by the state; and
WHEREAS, increasingly prescriptive statewide housing mandates and development approval requirements can override locally adopted plans, zoning standards, and public review procedures without adequately accounting for differences that exist in each unique jurisdiction in infrastructure capacity, water availability, wildfire and evacuation risks, environmental constraints, fiscal impacts, public service needs, and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, California’s housing goals can be more effectively advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships that support housing production while preserving the authority of locally elected officials to determine how and where housing is best planned and approved; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the General Assembly of the League of California Cities, assembled during the Annual Conference in Anaheim, California, on September 25, 2026, that the League of California Cities support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballotbased strategies that restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters within municipal boundaries, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications; and
6 2026 Resolution Packet
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any constitutional amendment or alternative strategy should preserve the State’s authority to establish broad statewide housing goals and enforce constitutional and civil rights, fair housing requirements, building and life-safety standards, and generally applicable environmental protections, while protecting cities from state actions that compel, through funding conditions or state law, the approval of housing developments that are inconsistent with locally adopted requirements; override local zoning or density standards; or invalidate locally adopted housing or land use decisions when a city has planned in good faith to accommodate its regional housing needs allocation and maintains adequate capacity for housing at all income levels; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the League of California Cities consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters including but limited to: conducting appropriate legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for; the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time frame as determined by the working group.

Background Information for Resolution
Source: City of Murrieta
Background:

California cities are responsible for planning residential growth, adopting general plans and zoning regulations, reviewing development proposals, and providing or coordinating the infrastructure and public services necessary to support new housing. Since 2010, the State has enacted more than 500 housing-related laws that have increasingly shifted housing and land use authority away from local governments. These laws have expanded by-right development, limited locally adopted standards and review processes, and established enforcement mechanisms, including the builder’s remedy, that may override local plans and zoning. Although these measures are frequently presented as solutions to housing affordability, many increase development capacity or restrict local review without delivering the meaningful production of housing needed to address the housing crisis.

At the same time, the State has continued to prioritize increased development capacity without adequately accounting for the infrastructure, public services, economic realities, and safety measures necessary to support housing growth.

State mandates often fail to reflect local conditions, including roadway and utility capacity, water availability, wildfire exposure, environmental limitations, fiscal impacts, and the availability of essential services. Cities are consequently required to accommodate additional housing while receiving no funding or assistance to address the resulting infrastructure and service demands.

Local elected officials are directly accountable to the residents who experience the effects of development decisions and are responsible for balancing housing production with infrastructure capacity, public safety, environmental protection, fiscal sustainability, and community needs. Cities of all types in California have been grappling with this dynamic, ranging from urban to rural, coastal to inland, small to large, northern to southern, voicing concerns to legislative representatives with minimal responsiveness. This is an issue of statewide concern that needs the strength and diversity of the League of California Cities to pursue a long-term solution.

The proposed resolution directs the League of California Cities to establish a statewide working group to evaluate a constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use decisions. The working group would be tasked with developing a more balanced framework that preserves the State’s role in establishing broad housing goals and enforcing constitutional, civil rights, fair housing, building, life-safety, and environmental requirements, while restoring meaningful local authority to allow cities to determine how statewide housing 9 2026 Resolution Packet
objectives should be implemented in a manner that reflects local conditions and community priorities while continuing to support responsible housing production.

As the primary statewide organization representing California cities, the League is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Its established policy, legal, legislative, communications, and advocacy networks enable it to convene municipalities, evaluate potential strategies, conduct legal and fiscal analyses, build consensus, engage stakeholders, and coordinate with statewide decision-makers. League leadership would help ensure that any recommendation reflects the collective interests of California municipalities and would provide the credibility, organizational capacity, and statewide reach necessary to advance a viable strategy.

The proposed resolution presents an important opportunity to thoughtfully evaluate the appropriate balance between California's statewide housing objectives and the constitutional principle of local governance. Establishing a statewide working group to examine a potential constitutional amendment, legislative reforms, or other policy initiatives will provide a meaningful forum to assess how local authority over housing and land use decisions can be strengthened while continuing to address the State's housing challenges.

Cities are uniquely positioned to understand the needs, opportunities, and constraints of their communities. Local elected officials are accountable to the residents they serve and are best equipped to make land use decisions that reflect a community's character, infrastructure capacity, economic development goals, environmental stewardship, and long-term vision. Equally important, local governments bear the primary responsibility for protecting public safety. Decisions regarding housing density, transportation, emergency access, wildfire preparedness, evacuation routes, police and fire service capacity, water availability, and critical infrastructure are inherently local matters that require the knowledge and judgment of those who serve their communities every day.

While the State has an important role in addressing California's housing needs, a collaborative approach that respects local expertise and preserves meaningful local discretion will produce stronger, safer, and more sustainable communities. The proposed working group offers an opportunity to evaluate policies that achieve these shared objectives while restoring an appropriate balance between state direction and local authority.

Resolution No. 1: Staff Analysis
23 League of California Cities Staff Analysis on Resolution No. 1 Staff: Brady Guertin, Legislative Advocate
Committee: Housing, Community, and Economic Development Summary:

Resolution No.1 states that the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) will:

1. Support the development and advancement of a state constitutional amendment or legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategy that restores and strengthens local authority over housing and land use matters, including general plans, housing elements, zoning, density, design and development standards, project siting, and the approval or denial of housing development applications.

Pursuant to the resolution, the strategy should preserve the state’s authority to set broad, statewide housing goals and enforce civil rights, fair housing, building safety, and environmental standards while protecting local control by preventing the state from compelling the approval of developments that conflict with local requirements, override local zoning or density standards, or overturn local land use decisions where a city has planned for and maintained sufficient capacity to meet its housing obligations.

2. Consider establishing a statewide working group or other appropriate committee(s) to evaluate and develop a proposed constitutional amendment or other legislative, policy, or ballot-based strategies to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.

The resolution states: “conducting legal, fiscal, and policy analyses; engaging cities and other stakeholders; and building a statewide coalition of proponent supporters in preparation for the November 2030 General Election, or within another reasonable time period.” Background:

As provided in the background information, the city of Murrieta is sponsoring this resolution in response to concerns over state laws that have increasingly reduced city discretion over housing and land use decisions, including legislation that requires ministerial or by-right approvals for housing projects, limits the application of local development standards, and strengthens state enforcement mechanisms against local governments.

Additionally, the city of Murrieta, in its background information, maintains that these legislative efforts have not resulted in sufficient housing production to address California's housing shortage and have not adequately accounted for 24 local infrastructure, public service needs, public safety, market, and fiscal considerations.

The resolution states that California’s housing goals are better advanced through state funding, streamlined environmental requirements, and voluntary partnerships, while preserving local authority over how and where housing is best planned and approved.

Consideration of the resolution may be informed by a brief examination of how the California Constitution allocates authority between the state and cities with respect to land use decisions.

The constitution grants cities the power to adopt local laws to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare. This grant is called the “police power,” which is the basis for local land use regulation. The constitution grants charter cities the additional power to adopt local laws affecting “municipal affairs.” This power, commonly referred to as “home rule,” is based on the principle that a city, rather than the state, is in the best position to identify and satisfy the needs of the local community.

The constitution’s broad grant of police power contains a significant limitation.

Local law adopted under the police power is not valid if it “conflicts” with state law. A local law “conflicts” with state law when it regulates the same “field” in which the Legislature has stated its intent to occupy. In that case, state law is said to “preempt” the local law and it cannot be enforced.

An ordinance adopted by a charter city under the municipal affairs power cannot be enforced if it affects a “matter of statewide concern.” The subjects that have been identified as “matters of statewide concern” have changed over the years due to economic, social, and political circumstances.

Since the 1960s, the state has enacted numerous laws that limit or preempt aspects of local land use and zoning authority. These laws include the Fair Employment and Housing Act, Housing Element Law, Housing Accountability Act, Density Bonus Law, Permit Streamlining Act, accessory dwelling unit laws, California Environmental Quality Act, and others. In recent years, the state has enacted several laws that Cal Cities was the leading opposition force against, as many of the proposals pre-empted local land use authority, limited public review, and constrained local flexibility. In support of its housing and land use legislation, the Legislature has cited a statewide housing crisis and the need for increased housing production at all income levels while asserting that a uniform approach to local land use decision-making is required. 25 Discussion:

The resolution does not prescribe a specific policy mechanism. The eight letters in support recommend creating a working group or committee to evaluate potential approaches, including legislative proposals, constitutional amendments, or ballot initiatives to strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters.

A discussion of a strategy to restore and strengthen local authority over housing and land use matters will need to consider the California Constitution’s framework for both preemption of police power enactments and municipal affairs, discussed above. It will also need to determine whether changes to the California Constitution will be proposed, and whether they constitute an amendment or a revision, which require different processes.

A constitutional revision is a multistep process blending legislative consensus, voter support, and on occasion, a constitutional convention. It requires significant public engagement.

A constitutional amendment would require a ballot initiative, which includes gathering enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, building large coalitions to support election efforts, and campaigning to voters to support the initiative. This process can involve significant costs. In the last major election for ballot initiatives in 2024, proponents spent $8-$18 million to qualify for the ballot and spent nearly $700 million for the full election cycle, averaging out to about $100 million per ballot initiative.

Cal Cities has been engaged in ballot advocacy for over 20 years. In the early 2000s, Cal Cities developed a ballot advocacy infrastructure that included forming an issue political action committee, fundraising, establishing a network of regional managers, and building a coalition with other organizations to ultimately advocate on a ballot measure. Ballot advocacy requires the approval of the Board of Directors with a supermajority vote.

In the Legislature, Cal Cities plays an active and influential role to ensure that local flexibility and autonomy in the land use and housing space is maintained by engaging on dozens of bills every legislative session to ensure that cities' voices are heard at the state Capitol. Below, you will find Cal Cities “Existing Policy” on local control, housing, and land use policies.

Fiscal Impact
The resolution itself would not have a significant direct fiscal impact. However, depending on what actions follow, the fiscal costs could be significant. 26 Existing Cal Cities Policy
Vision
To be recognized and respected as the leading advocate for the common interests of California's cities.

Mission Statement
To expand and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians.

We Believe
• Local self-governance is the cornerstone of democracy. • Our strength lies in the unity of our diverse communities of interest. • In the involvement of all stakeholders in establishing goals and in solving problems.
• In conducting the business of government with transparency, openness, respect, and civility.
• The spirit of honest public service is what builds communities. • Open decision-making that is of the highest ethical standards honors the public trust.
• Cities are vital to the strength of the California economy. • The vitality of cities is dependent upon their fiscal stability and local autonomy.
• The active participation of all city officials increases the League's effectiveness.
• Partnerships and collaborations are essential elements of focused advocacy and lobbying.
• Ethical and well-informed city officials are essential for responsive, visionary leadership and effective and efficient city operations.

Zoning
Cal Cities believes local zoning is a primary function of cities and is an essential component of home rule. The process of adoption, implementation and enforcement of zoning ordinances should be open and fair to the public and enhance the responsiveness of local decision-makers. State policy should leave local siting and use decisions to the city and not interfere with local prerogative beyond providing a constitutionally valid procedure for adopting local regulations. State agency siting of facilities, including campuses and office buildings, should be subject to local notice and hearing requirements in order to meet concerns of the local community. Cal Cities opposes legislation that seeks to limit local authority over parking requirements.

Housing Element
Housing issues should be addressed in the general plan as other planning issues are. The housing element should be prepared for the benefit of local 27 governments and should have equal status with the other elements of the general plan.

Encourage Full Community Participation
Foster an open and inclusive community dialogue and promote alliances and partnerships to meet community needs.

Well-Planned New Growth
Recognize and preserve open space, watersheds, environmental habitats, and agricultural lands, while accommodating new growth in compact forms, in a manner that:
• De-emphasizes automobile dependency;
• Integrates the new growth into existing communities;
• Creates a diversity of affordable housing near employment centers; • Provides job opportunities for people of all ages and income levels.
