Staff Report
1 MEETING DATE:
9/23/2025
AGENDA SECTION:
Public Hearing
SUBJECT: Veranda at Folsom Heights Project – East Side of Empire Ranch Road, North and South of Summit Street, in the Folsom Plan Area (MSTR25-00025)
Resolution No. 11461 – A Resolution of the City Council Determining that the Veranda at Folsom Heights Project is Exempt from CEQA and Approving a Small-Lot Vesting
Tentative Subdivision Map, Planned Development Permit,
and Design Review
FROM: Community Development Department
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff forwards the Planning Commission’s recommendation that the City Council take the following action:
1. Approve Resolution No 11461 - A Resolution of the City Council Determining that the Veranda at Folsom Heights Project is Exempt from CEQA and Approving a Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Planned Development Permit, and Design Review
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
Project Description and Context
The proposed project is a request for approval of a Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide an approximately 14.9-acre site located on the east side of Empire Ranch Road, north and south of Summit Street, in the Folsom Plan Ar ea Specific Plan (FPASP) into a 125 -lot residential subdivision. The project site has General Plan and FPASP Land Use Designations of MLD (Multifamily Low-Density) which provide for development at 7.0 to 12.0 units per acre. A Planned Development Permit is also requested to comply with the Planned Development (PD) District overlay and to allow for greater flexibility in site design. Finally, a Design Review is requested to approve architecture and design for 125 proposed single-family residential units.
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
2 The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed project on August 20, 2025, and recommended approval by the City Council.
The project site is surrounded by the Folsom Heights project on the north, east, and south, and Russell Ranch project to the west. The s ubject properties have significant elevation changes and are devoid of vegetation. As of the preparation of this report, the properties are part of the overall mass grading for the Folsom Heights project.
FIGURE 1: PROJECT LOCATION
On July 11, 2017, the City Council approved a Large -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Project Design Guidelines, and an Inclusionary Housing Plan for the development of a 530-unit residential and commercial development (Folsom Heights) on a 189.7-acre site located in the northeast corner of the Folsom Plan Area. The Tentative Subdivision Maps received two extension approvals, with the Large -Lot Vesting Map being recorded in 2021 and the Small -Lot Final Map in the process of being finalized as of the time of this report. The Folsom Heights project includ ed an allocation of 123 multifamily residential units to two of the Large Lots. However, these lots were not included in the Small-Lot Map. Thus, they are the subject of this subsequent entitlement request.
Overall Project Concept
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project seeks to create a development plan consistent with the overall Folsom Heights project and FPASP policies. Specifically, the project proposes a for sale “detached townhome” project of 125 small lots with detached single -family residential units,
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
3 common private drives, open spaces, and guest parking areas. The residential units will be clustered around pedestrian paseos with alley loaded garages.
The site design also includes a central promenade street lined with additional parking spaces, trees, and landscaping. The main project access to both the northern and southern halves of the site is from a traffic circle on Summit Street, with secondary access for both areas from Iron Horse Drive, which curves around the site’s southern and eastern boundaries. The plan includes gated entry, two private pocket parks, and 20 landscape lots that provide frontage landscaping along public and private roadways. The following Figures provide images of the proposed site design and architecture.
FIGURE 2: PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN
FIGURE 3: CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT LANDSCAPE PROPOSAL
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
4 FIGURE 4: PLAN ELEVATION PROPOSALS
POLICY / RULE
The Folsom Municipal Code (FMC) requires that applications for Tentative Subdivision Maps be forwarded to the City Council for final action. City Council actions regarding Tentative Subdivision Maps are covered under Section 16.16.080 of the FMC.
The project site is in a Planned Development (PD) Overlay District. Pursuant to FMC Chapter
17.38, the PD Overlay District requires development to request a PD Permit. The PD Overlay District allows greater flexibility in the design of integrated developme nts than possible through strict application of land use regulations and encourages the creative and efficient use of land.
FPASP Chapter 13 – Implementation requires that all projects include project-level design review as outlined in FMC Chapter 17.06. The purpose of the Design Review process is to review the project site design and evaluate the architectural design of the residential buildings.
ANALYSIS
General Plan and Specific Plan Consistency
The 14.9-acre project site has a General Plan land use designation of MLD (Multifamily Low Density, 7-12 du/acre). In addition, the project site has a Specific Plan designation of MLD -PD (Multifamily Low Density - Planned Development). The General Plan and Specific Plan land use designations are consistent with each other and are not proposed to change as part of this project .
The Specific Plan MLD land use designation is intended to promote a variety of housing types that
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
5 will result in diverse residential neighborhoods. Residential uses allowed in the SP-MLD land use designation include, but are not limited to, single -family dwellings (small-lot detached, zero-lot- line and patio homes), two -family dwellings and multi-family dwellings. The applicant proposes a small-lot detached product, which is consisten t with the site’s land use designation. City staff also reviewed relevant General Plan and Specific Plan policies and found the project consistent in all cases. More analysis can be found in the Planning Commission Staff Report (Attachment 2).
Small-Lot Tentative Subdivision Map
The proposed subdivision features interior lots with minimum lot sizes of 2,700 square feet. Corner lots are proposed with a minimum size of 2,900 square feet, which deviates from the MLD Development Standards (see discussion below regarding the Planned Development Permit). The proposed Small-Lot Tentative Subdivision Map creates the necessary easements to allow for roads and utilities to facilitate development of the small-lot parcels, as well as parcels providing shared parking, access, and open space that will be owned and maintained by a Homeowners Association (HOA). It is important to note that the proposed subdivision will be a private gated community; as a result, all drives (delineated as Ways and Places) within the subdivisi on are proposed to be private. Staff included a condition (Condition No. 22) that requires the applicant to dedicate easements for stormwater drainage, water, and sewer within the private streets, as well as public utility easements for underground facilities on properties adjacent to the streets.
The applicant requests that the map be vesting, and has provided preliminary grading, drainage, and utility plans to support that request. Utilities to the site are provided by both the City of Folsom and the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID). Water service is provided by EID, but sewer services are split between the City of Folsom and EID, via a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties. On June 11, 2025, the City and EID entered into an amen ded MOU to specify that certain lots within the Veranda at Folsom Heights project would receive sewer service from the City, rather than EID, as originally proposed. The Preliminary Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map includes notes indicating service providers for the proposed lots.
The Folsom Heights project allocated 123 units to the Veranda site. However, the applicant is requesting a 125 -unit map as they lost two units elsewhere in the larger development. This maintains the overall unit count of the Folsom Heights project at 530, which is consistent with and does not substantially change the overall intent of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP).
The shift in units will be memorialized through an administrative Minor Administrative Modification approval.
Staff has determined that the proposed Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, if approved concurrently with the PD Permit request and as conditioned, complies with all City requirements (FMC Chapter 16.16), as well as with the req uirements of the State Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Sections 66410 et seq.).
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
6 Planned Development Permit
The applicant is proposing deviations from development standards as part of the requested Planned Development (PD) Permit. They state that the project’s innovative housing typology drives the request for modified development standards. Specifically, the pr oject is designed to provide housing choice in the Folsom Plan Area by reducing private open space (such as front and back yards) to allow higher density for sale single-family product, which is in demand. The project will include shared outdoor spaces in the form of paseos and pocket parks. The applicant states that these spaces will incorporate abundant landscaping and trees and provide significant shade coverage. Finally, the project is located within walking distance of future mixed -use to the north, and future park and school sites to the south, providing further recreation and services to residents.
In reviewing the applicant’s request for approval of a PD Permit, staff considered a variety of factors including existing and proposed development standards, traffic/access/circulation, parking requirements, noise impacts, walls/fencing, site lighting, site landscaping, trash/recycling, grading/drainage, and architecture/design. Details of this review are included in the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 2).
Staff believe that the PD Permit review criteria of FMC Section 17.38.100 are met by the proposed project. The project is consistent with the purpose of the SP -MLD land use designation in that it proposes residential “townhome” ownership units with a highe r density than that of more traditional single-family homes. The site design provides a well -designed community within its own boundaries, with adequate access, services, and open space to serve residents and provide emergency public safety services. Finally, staff have not identified any deviations requested under the PD Permit that would be detrimental to health, safety, or the general welfare of persons or property within the vicinity of the project. Therefore, staff is supportive of the PD Permit request.
Design Review
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project is subject to the Folsom Heights Design Guidelines, dated June 2017 and adopted by the City Council on July 11, 2017. Relevant to the Veranda at Folsom Heights project are the architectural design req uirements, and particularly the Architectural Collections.
The applicable Design Guidelines requirements and the project’s compliance are outlined below.

The applicant also provided an architectural narrative that details how the proposed elevations (Early California, Spanish, and California Cottage) are consistent with two of the Architectural Collections: The California Collection and The Picturesque Collection:
The Early California and Spanish styles are consistent with the intent of The California Collection, which features two-story rectangular forms, varied roof forms featuring gables, gables enhanced with a tile vent element or another type of embellishment, “s” or flat tile roofing, stucco as the dominant exterior finish, a variety of shutter styles, decorative wood elements (corbels), and brick or masonry at the first floor, all consistent with the California Collection architectural style.
The California Co ttage style is designed to reflect The Picturesque Collection, with full two-story massing, asymmetrical massing and proportions, and a gable roof form with concrete tile roof. The body is a combination of stucco and stone with siding in the gable ends. Vertically proportioned windows with full window surrounds or head and sill trim with shutters complete the picturesque expression.
Staff reviewed the materials provided and can confirm that the proposed site and architectural designs comply with applicable Design Guidelines and therefore recommend approval of the requested Design Review.
Inclusionary Housing Plan
As permitted by the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the Folsom Heights project received approval to meet their inclusionary housing requirement by providing an in-lieu fee payment. The Veranda at Folsom Heights project is included in this approval and so is subject to the requirement that the related Inclusionary Housing Agreement be approved by the City Council in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and executed prior to final map recordation for either this map or another map under the Folsom He ights project. Condition No. 27 is included to reflect these requirements.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact is anticipated with the approval of the Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Planned Development Permit, or Design Review as the project will not result in any changes to the total number of residential units within the FPASP.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Certain residential, commercial and mixed -use projects that are consistent with a specific plan adopted pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Cha pter 3, Article 8 of the California Government Code are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provided they qualify under CEQA Guidelines §15182. One of the project types described in that Section is a residential project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity with a specific plan for which a public
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
8 agency has prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) after January 1, 1980. This exemption is limited to situations where after the adoption of the specific plan, no circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines § 15162(a) have occurred.
§15162. Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations
(a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effect s or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
On June 28, 2011, the Folsom City Council approved the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP) for development of up to 10,210 residential dwelling un its with a range of housing types and densities, along with commercial, industrial/office park, and mixed -use land uses, open space, public schools, parks, and supporting infrastructure. The development would be located on approximately 3,514 acres. The Ci ty and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prepared a joint Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for the FPASP that evaluated the environmental impacts associated with development of the entire plan area based on the land use d esignations identified in the specific plan. The Folsom City Council has approved several amendments to the FPASP since 2011, the most recent as part of the City of Folsom General Plan Amendments for Increased Residential Capacity project, which was approv ed on
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
9 August 27, 2024, with a Subsequent EIR that considered development of up to 13,343 residential dwelling units.
Environmental Checklists and Addendums to the 2011 FPASP EIR/EIS were prepared for both phases of the Folsom Heights project (General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, and Development Agreement Amendment request approved in 2016 and Large Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Development Agreement Amendment, Inclusionary Housing Plan, and Minor Administrative Modification request approved in 2017). The subject property was included in the analyses for both phases. The Addendums concluded that the project would not result in new or substantially more significant environmental impacts compar ed to the analysis presented in the FPASP EIR/EIS and that no changes in circumstances were present that necessitated further environmental review.
The City, as lead agency, has reviewed the Veranda at Folsom Heights project against the FPASP and has determined that the proposed project as conditioned is entirely consistent with the FPASP. The project does not propose changes to land use designations, permitted density, infrastructure, or any other component of the specific plan that were evaluated through the FPASP EIR/EIS and subsequent environmental documents.
The Planned Development Permit and Minor Administrative Modification requests would result in minor modifications to the allocation of residential units in the FPASP and development standards permitted in the project area. However, neither results in increased densities, impacts to infrastructure, or impacts to any other component of the FPASP beyond those evaluated in the FPASP EIR/EIS. Further, the City has not identified any substantial changes that have occurred with respect to the project’s circumstances which would require major revisions of the FPASP EIR/EIS or subsequent environmental documents due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The FPASP, and specifically the Folsom Heights project area, is being developed out as planned for in the FPASP, with all significant environmental effects being addressed through existing Mitigatio n Monitoring and Reporting programs already in place (Condition of Approval No 11).
No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows that the project will have significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, significant effects previously examined will be more severe than shown in the previous EIR, or that mitigation measures considered infeasible are now feasible or alternative mitigation measures have been identified to reduce significant effects shown in the previous EIR. As stated above, the most recent environmental document prepared for amendments to the FPASP was approved in 2024, which would ha ve identified such new information as would be critical to ensure appropriate CEQA review of the project.
The City has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan and that it would not result in any of the circumstances listed in CEQA Guidelines §15162.
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
10 Because the proposed project is subject to a statutory exemption, rather than a categorical exemption, the typical exceptions to CEQA e xemptions do not apply. Therefore , the Veranda at Folsom Heights project qualifies for the special situation exemption of CEQA Guidelines § 15182 – Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROJECT SETTING
The project site is in the northeast corner of the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (Specific Plan or FPASP) and encompasses two parcels totaling 14.9 acres, split by a planned public roadway (Summit Street). It is designated Multi-Family Low Density residential (SP- MLD) in the FPASP, which provides for development at 7.0 to 12.0 units per acre. The project site is surrounded by the Folsom Heights project on the north, east, and south, and Russell Ranch project to the west. The subject properties have significant elevation changes and are devoid of vegetation. As of the preparation of this report, the properties are part of the overall mass grading for the Folsom Heights project. They will receive rough grading to create tiered levels that will step down the natural slope as part of this effort and then final pad grading will be completed should the subject entitlements be granted.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant, Elliott Homes, Inc., is requesting approval of a Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (Subdivision Map or SLVTSM) to subdivide two (2) parcels totaling 14.9 acres into a 125-lot residential subdivision, called Veranda at Folsom Heights.
On July 11, 2017, the City Council approved a Large-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Project Design Guidelines, and an Inclusionary Housing Plan for the development of a 530-unit residential and commercial development (Folsom Heights Subdivision) on the 189.7-acre site located in the northeast corner of the Folsom Plan Area. The Tentative Subdivision Maps received two extension approvals, with the Large-Lot Vesting Map being recorded in 2021 and the Small-Lot Final Map in the process of being finalized as of the time of this report.
The Folsom Heights project included approval of 530 residential units at varying densities, including an allocation of 123 multifamily residential units to two of the Large Lots .
However, these lots were not included in the Small-Lot Map. Thus, they are the subject of this subsequent entitlement request.
For background, the Folsom Heights project allocated 123 units to the Veranda site.
However, the applicant is requesting a 125 -unit map as they lost two units elsewhere in the larger development. This maintains the overall unit count of the Folsom Heights project at 530 , which is consistent with and does not substantially change the overall intent of the Folsom Plan Area Specif ic Plan (FPASP). The shift in units will be memorialized through an administrative Minor Administrative Modification approval.
The subject parcels are located on the east side of Empire Ranch Road, north and south of Summit Street, in the FPASP. The project site has a General Plan and FPASP Land Use Designation of MLD (Multifamily Low -Density). A Planned Development Permit is also requested to comply with the site’s Planned Development District overlay and to allow for greater flexibility in site design. Finally, a Design Review is required to approve architecture and design for 125 proposed single -family residential units. The proposed Subdivision Map is consistent with the approved land use designations for the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan Land Use Map (FPASP Figure 4.3) in that no land use changes are proposed with this project.
Overall Project Concept
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project seeks to create a development plan consistent with the overall Folsom Heights project and FPASP policies . Specifically, the project proposes a for sale “detached townhome” project of 125 small lots with detached single- family residential units, common private drives, open spaces, and guest parking areas .
The residential units will be in cluster formations fronting onto pedestrian paseos with alley loaded garages . The design also includes a central promenade street lined with additional parking spaces, trees, and landscaping. The main project access to both the

northern and southern halves of the site is from a traffic circle on Summit Street, with secondary access for both areas from Iron Horse Drive, which curves around the site ’s southern and eastern boundaries. The plan includes gated entry, two private pocket parks, and 20 landscape lots that provide frontage landscaping along public and private roadways.

Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map
The first component of the Applicant’s proposal is a Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (SLVTM) to create 125 single-family residential lots, two private streets, 20 landscape lots, and two private park lots. The proposed subdivision features interior lots with minimum lot sizes of 2,700 square feet. Corner lots are proposed with a minimum size of 2,900 square feet, which deviates from the MLD Development Standards (see discussion below regarding the Planned Development Permit) . As stated previously, the lots will be in cluster formations fronting onto pedestrian paseos with alleyway vehicular access easements at the rear. To work with site topography, the project proposes clusters of six lots along the western portion of the project site, lots that front on the central promenade street or Summit Street in the middle portion, and larger clusters varying from six to fourteen lots along the eastern portion. This site design accommodates terracing that is required to address slopes on the properties. The applicant states that the Veranda at Folsom Heights product strives to provide a compact development with homes at an affordable price point. See Attachment 5 for the proposed SLVTSM.
Primary access to the subdivision is proposed from driveways off Summit Street, which bifurcates the project site. Secondary access to the northern portion of the site would be from a driveway off Iron Horse Drive to the east of the site. Secondary access to the southern portion of the site would also be from Iron Horse Drive but from the south. All accesses are proposed to be gated, with turnaround areas. Pedestrian gates would be included at all access points. No other vehicle or pedestrian access points are proposed due to the steep terrain surrounding the site.
Planned Development Permit
The project site is in a Planned Development (PD) Overlay District. Pursuant to FMC Chapter 17.38, the PD Overlay District requires development to request a PD Permit. The PD Overlay District allows greater flexibility in the design of integrated developments than possible through strict application of land use regulations and encourages the creative and efficient use of land . The applicant is proposing deviations from development standards as part of the requested PD Permit.
Development Standards Deviations
The project is subject to the standards of FPASP Table A.4. – Multi-Family Low Density (SP-MLD) – Single-Family and Two-Family Dwelling Units Development Standards.
The applicant is requesting deviations from many SP-MLD standards. They state that the project’s innovative housing typology drives the request for modified development standards. Specifically, the project is designed to provide housing choice in the Folsom Plan Area by reducing private open space in favor of higher density for sale single-family product, which is in demand. The project will include shared outdoor spaces in the form of paseos and pocket parks. The applicant states that these spaces will incorporate abundant landscaping and trees and provide significant shade coverage. Finally, the project is located within walking distance of future mixed-use to the north, and future park

Design Review
The project is subject to the Folsom Heights Design Guidelines , dated June 2017 and adopted by the City Council on July 11, 2017. The Design Guidelines were adopted to establish a design framework within which developers, builders, and architects/ designers could conceive and produce high-quality design and construction within the development.
The framework includes master home plan requirements that outline minimum numbers of floor plans and elevation designs, massing and roof form variations, garage placement, and maximum repetition of architectural styles. Key to t he Design Guidelines is its Architectural Collections, which are groups of architectural styles that include example imagery and defining characteristics. The Architectural Collections include The Artisan Collection, The Agrarian Collection, The Coastal Collection, The Californi a Collection, The Picturesque Collection, and The Nouveau Collection.

Architecture
The project includes the construction of 125 single family residential units, with four master plans with three different architectural styles or elevations. These are “Spanish”, “California Cottage”, and “Early California”. Nine color schemes are proposed (three for each architectural style). Illustrations of the architectural styles applied to the proposed residential designs are shown in Figure 5 below:
FIGURE 5: PLAN ELEVATIONS
All units would be two stories, have three to five bedrooms, and include two-car garages.
Floor plans range from 1,452 to 2,094 square feet of living space. Units would also have outdoor patios and covered porches. How the proposed master plans align with the Architectural Collections and other requirements of the Design Guidelines is discussed in the Analysis section of this report.
Landscaping
The proposed project will install landscaping bordering and interior to the project site. As shown on the preliminary landscape plan (Attachment 8), proposed landscaping will feature California-native and low water-use trees, shrubs, and groundcover selections intended to comply with the requirements of the Model Water Efficiency Landscape Ordinance (MWELO). Specific to the project, the applicant proposes utility-friendly (i.e., small) street trees at regular intervals along the two main private streets to provide

ANALYSIS
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The 14.9-acre project site has a General Plan land use designation of MLD (Multifamily Low Density, 7-12 du/acre). In addition, the project site has a Specific Plan designation of MLD-PD (Multifamily Low Density Planned Development). The existing General Plan and the Specific Plan land use designations are consistent with each other and are not proposed to change as part of this project. The Specific Plan MLD land use designation is intended to promote a variety of housing types that will result in diverse residential neighborhoods. Residential uses allowed in the SP -MLD land use designation include, but are not limited to, single family dwellings ( small-lot detached, zero-lot-line and patio homes), two family dwellings and multi-family dwellings. The applicant proposes a small- lot detached product, which is consistent with the site’s land use designation.
GP and SP POLICY H-1.1
The City shall ensure that sufficient land is designated and zoned in a range of residential densities to accommodate the City’s regional share of housing.
Analysis: The City provides residential lands at a variety of residential densities as
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
specified in the General Plan and in the Folsom Municipal Code. The FPASP includes specialized zoning (Specific Plan Designations) that are customized to the Plan Area as adopted in 2011 and as amended over time. The FPASP provides residential lands in a range of densities.
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project proposes development at approximately
8.4 units per acre, which is consistent with the density range for t he MLD designation (7-12 dwelling units per acre).
SP POLICY 4.2
Residential neighborhoods shall include neighborhood focal points such as schools, parks, and trails. Residential neighborhoods shall be linked, where appropriate, to encourage pedestrian and bicycle travel.
Analysis: The Veranda at Folsom Heights project includes two “parklets” of shared open space, one in each project area, that provide a focal point for residents. The applicant has also provided a Circulation Plan (Attachment 13to this report) that shows pedestrian connection to the surrounding neighborhood.
In addition, the project frontage along Empire Ranch Road includes a Class 1 bicycle trail.
SP POLICY 4.4
Provide a variety of housing opportunities for residents to participate in the home - ownership market.
Analysis: The FPASP provides home ownership opportunities within multiple single family and multiple -family l and use designated areas. Residential development in the MLD (Multi -Family Low Density), MMD (Multi -Family Medium Density), MHD (Multi -Family High Density) and MU (Mixed -Use) land use categories may provide ‘for rent’ opportunities; however, home ownership may also be accommodated in ‘for sale’ small-lot single -family residential, condos, townhomes, etc. at the time of development.
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project is consistent with this policy in that it will provide detached single family home ownership opportunities at a lower price point than traditional single family residential development . The Project provides housing supply in the City of Folsom , proximat e to schools, parks, trails, commercial services and other amenities that serve residents.
SP POLICY 4.6
As established by the FPASP, the total number of dwelling units for the Plan Area shall not exceed that which is allocated in FPASP Table 4.2: Land Use Summary Table (currently 13,343). The number of units within individual land use parcels may vary, so long as the number of units falls within the allowable density range for a particular land use designation. For purposes of CEQA compliance for discretionary projects, the
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
combination of the total maximum number of residential units and commercial square footage analyzed in the FPASP EIR/EIS shall not be exceeded without requiring further CEQA compliance.
Analysis: The proposed Project does not result in any change in total dwelling units in the FPASP. The subject parcels are considered Plan Area Parcels Numbers 234 and 235 for purposes of dwelling unit allocations. Per FPASP Table 4.3, these two Plan Area Parcels are allocated 123 units: 69 units on Plan Area Parcel No. 234 and 54 on Plan Area Parcel No. 235. The project proposes a total of 125 units: 72 units on Plan Area Parcel No. 234 and 53 on Plan Area Parcel No. 235, which is three more than the allocated amount on Parcel 234. The applicant states that two units were removed from the Folsom Heights Phase 1 Subdivision Map (Plan Area Parcel 236). Staff have determined that the shift of two units within the overall Folsom Heights project qualifies for a Minor Admin istrative Modification (MAM) because the overall project remains consistent with the FPASP and the change does not substantially change its overall intent. Staff have included a Condition of Approval (COA) to require that this determination be formalized with the submittal of a MAM for Transfer of Development Rights that moves two units from Parcel 235 and one unit from Parcel 23 6 to Parcel 23 4 before a Final Map can be approved. With this Condition (COA No. 10) , the project is consistent with SP Policy 4.6.
Small-Lot Tentative Subdivision Map
The Folsom Municipal Code (FMC) requires that applications for Tentative Subdivision Maps be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
As described in the background section of this report, the City Council approved a Large- Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Development Agreement Amendment, Project Design Guidelines, and Inclusionary Housing Plan for development of the 530-unit Folsom Heights Subdivision project on July 11, 2017. The large-lot map has been recorded, and the small-lot final map (which did not include the subject properties) is in review.
The SP-MLD land use designation calls for 3,000 sf minimum interior and 3,500 sf minimum corner. The applicant does request approval of a smaller size range for the proposed lots; 2,700 square feet (sf) minimum interior and 2,900 sf minimum corner. This deviation is discussed below as part of the Planned Development Permit analysis.
The proposed Small-Lot Tentative Subdivision Map creates the necessary easements to allow for roads and utilities to facilitate development of the small-lot parcels, as well as parcels providing shared parking, access, landscaping and open space that will be owned and maintained by a Homeowners Association (HOA). It is important to note that the proposed subdivision will be a private gated community; as a result, all drives (delineated as Ways and Places) within the subdivision are proposed to be private. Staff has included a condition (Condition No. 22) that requ ires the applicant to dedicate easements for
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
stormwater drainage, water, and sewer within the private streets, as well as public utility easements for underground facilities on properties adjacent to the streets.
The applicant requests that the map be vesting, and has provided preliminary grading, drainage, and utility plans to support that request. Utilities to the site are provided by both the City of Folsom and the El Dorado Irrigation District (EID). Water service is provided by EID, but sewer services are split between the City of Folsom and EID, via a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two parties. On June 11, 2025, the City and EID entered into an amended MOU to specify that certain lots within the Veranda at Folsom Heights project would receive sewer service from the City, rather than EID, as originally proposed . The Preliminary Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (Attachment 5) includes notes indicating service providers for the proposed lots.
Staff has determined that the proposed Small-Lot Tentative Subdivision Map, if approved concurrently with the Planned Development Permit request and as conditioned, complies with all City requirements (FMC Chapter 16.16), as well as with the requirements of the State Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Sections 66410 et seq.).
Planned Development Permit
To allow greater flexi bility in the design of integrated developments than otherwise possible through strict application of Specific Plan development standards, a range of land use designations in the FPASP are included in a Planned Development (PD) District overlay. FMC Chapter 17.38 (Planned Development District) requires that any development applications on properties with a PD District overlay request a PD Permit.
The Planned Development Permit process is designed to encourage creative and efficient uses of land. The applicant’s intent here is to provide a product that fits into a niche between the single-family, large-lot category and the multi-family category. In reviewing the applicant’s request for approval of a Planned Development Permit, staff considered a variety of factors including existing and proposed development standards, traffic/access/circulation, parking requirements, noise impacts, walls/fencing, site lighting, site landscaping, trash/recycling, grading/drainage, and architecture/design.
The applicant has proposed a unique set of development standards that will accommodate development of the 125 -unit small-lot single family residential community on the project site, as listed in Table 1: REQUIRED AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS and included as Attachment 11 to this report. These standards allow for smaller individual lot sizes, approximately 20% more building coverage on each lot, and smaller front, side, and rear setbacks. Building height and parking standards would not deviate from those of the SP-MLD land use designation for single family dwelling units.
The requested deviations are like those approved for other successfully developed small- lot subdivisions, such as the Courts at Russell Ranch (Design Review approved in 2018) and Veranda at Empire Ranch (also by Elliott Homes, project approved in 2015) . They
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)

allow for better use of common areas to provide guest parking and open spaces for residents. All units will have private patio areas along with fronting on to landscaped pedestrian paseos for both additional access and greenspace.
The project site is also challenging to work with due to significant grade differences from northeast to southwest. To develop the site for residential, the applicant is required to build out terraces that “walk” down the slope. Some pedestrian paseos will require short retaining walls along their walkways to allow for the tiers in-between blocks of residential units. This tiering has driven the site design, which takes the form of short I-Courts running east-west (referred to as Places in the mapping materials) on the west side of the main drive aisle, and loops of access drives (also Places) running north-south on the east side.
The applicant provided a circulation plan (Attachment 12) and refuse cart pick up plan (Attachment 13) to support the unique site design. The circulation plan demonstrates that the site has adequate emergency vehicle access in all areas of the site. Pedestrian circulation networks run throughout the site and connect to the surrounding neighborhood to the south and east. Refuse cart pick up planning can be challenging in small -lot communities with narrow drive aisles and no driveway aprons. The Solid Waste division of the Public Works Department requested that the applicant provide a preliminary refuse cart pick up plan that demonstrates the ability for the City’s refuse trucks to pick up carts outside of the dead -end alleys in between residences. The applicant provided the attached refuse cart pick up plan that places carts in front of planter areas along the main promenade street and along the alleyways that are not dead -ends, generally in front of planter or yard areas. Some parking spaces are proposed to be blocked by carts on pick up days due to site constraints. Staff have included language in Condition No. 9 that the Homeowner’s Association may prohibit parking in certain s talls on refuse cart pick up days and that waste bins must be returned to individual residential garages no later than 24 hours after collection day.
Staff believe that the PD Permit review criteria of FMC Section 17.38.100 are met by the proposed project. The project is consistent with the purpose of the SP -MLD land use designation in that it proposes residential “townhome” ownership units with a higher density than that of more traditional single-family homes. The site design provides a well- designed community within its own boundaries, with adequate access, services, and open space to serve residents and provide emergency public safety services. Finally, staff have not identified any deviations requested under the PD Permit that would be detrimental to health, safety, or the general welfare of the persons or property within the vicinity of the project. Therefore, staff is supportive of the Planned Development Permit request.
Design Review
FPASP Chapter 13 – Implementation requires that all projects include project-level design review as outlined in FMC Chapter 17.06. The purpose of the Design Review process is to review the project site design and evaluate the architectural design of the residential buildings.

Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
The Veranda at Folsom Heights project is subject to the Folsom Heights Design Guidelines, dated June 2017 and adopted by the City Council on July 11, 2017. The Design Guidelines establish a design framework within which developers, builders, and architects/designers can produce high -quality design within the Folsom Heights development. Relevant to the Veranda at Folsom Heights project are the architectural design requirements, and particularly the Architectural Collections, which are groups of architectural styles that include example imagery and defining characteristics.
As outlined in the Project Description section of this report, t he applicant submitted landscape plans, parklet concepts, walls and fence concepts, residential master plan elevations, floor plans, material sheets, and a site development plan for Design Review.
The applicable Design Guidelines requirements and the project’s compliance are outlined below.

The applicant also provided an architectural narrative that details how the proposed elevations (Early California, Spanish, and California Cottage) are consistent with two of the Architectural Collections: The California Collection and The Picturesque Collection:
• The Early California and Spanish styles are consistent with the intent of The California Collection, which features two-story rectangular forms, varied roof forms featuring gables, gables enhanced with a tile vent element or another type of embellishment, “s” or flat tile roofing, stucco as the dominant exterior finish, a variety of shutter styles, decorative wood elements (corbels), and brick or masonry at the first floor, all consistent with the California Collection architectural style. • The California Cottage style is designed to reflect The Picturesque Collection, with full two-story massing, asymmetrical massing and proportions, and a gable roof form with concrete tile roof. The body is a combination of stucco and stone with siding in the gable ends. Vertically proportioned windows with full window surrounds or head and sill trim with shutters complete the picturesque expression.

Staff reviewed the materials provided and can confirm that the proposed site and architectural designs comply with the Design Guidelines and therefore recommend approval of the requested Design Review.
Inclusionary Housing Plan
As permitted by the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, the Folsom Heights project received approval to meet their inclusionary housing requirement by providing an in -lieu fee payment (Attachment 16). The Veranda at Folsom Heights project is included in this approval, and so is subject to the requirement that the related Inclusionary Housing Agreement be approved by the City Council in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and executed prior to final map recordation for either this map or another map un der the Folsom Heights project. Condition No. 27 is included to reflect these requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Certain residential, commercial and mixed-use projects that are consistent with a specific plan adopted pursuant to Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8 of the California Government Code are exempt from review under the California Environmental Qualit y Act (CEQA) provided they qualify under CEQA Guidelines §15182. One of the project types described in that Section is a residential project undertaken pursuant to and in conformity with a specific plan for which a public agency has prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) after January 1, 1980. This exemption is limited to situations where after the adoption of the specific plan, no circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines § 15162(a) have occurred:
§15162. Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations
(a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantia l increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
On June 28, 2011, the Folsom City Council approved the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP) for development of up to 10,210 residential dwelling units with a range of housing types and densities, along with commercial, industrial/office park, and mixed-use land uses, open space, public schools, parks, and supporting infrastructure. The development would be located on approximately 3,514 acres. The City and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers prepared a joint Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) for the FPASP that evaluated the environmental impacts associated with development of the entire plan area based on the land use designations identified in the specific plan. The Folsom City Council has approved several amendments to the FPASP since 2011, the most recent as part of the City of Folsom General Plan Amendments for Increased Residential Capacity project, which was approved on August 27, 2024, with a Subsequent EIR that considered development of up to 13,343 residential dwelling units.
Environmental Checklists and Addendums to the 2011 FPASP EIR/EIS were prepared for both phases of the Folsom Heights project (General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, and Development Agreement Amendment request approved in 2016 and Large Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Development Agreement Amendment, Inclusionary Housing Plan, and Minor Administrative Modification request approved in 2017) . The subject property was included in the analyses for both phases. The Addendum s concluded that the project would not result in new or substantially more significant environmental impacts compared to the analysis presented in the FPASP EIR/EIS and that no changes in circumstances were present that necessitated further environmental review.
The City, as lead agency, has reviewed the Veranda at Folsom Heights project against the FPASP and has determined that the proposed project as conditioned is entirely consistent with the FPASP. The project does not propose changes to land use designations, permitted density, infrastructure, or any other component of the specific
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Planning Commission
Veranda at Folsom Heights (MSTR25-00025)
August 20, 2025
plan that w ere evaluated through the FPASP EIR/EIS and subsequent environmental documents. The Planned Development Permit and Minor Administrative Modification requests would result in minor modifications to the allocation of residential units in the FPASP and development standards permitted in the project area. However, neither results in increased densities, impacts to infrastructure, or impacts to any other component of the FPASP beyond those evalu ated in the FPASP EIR/EIS. Further, the City has not identified any substantial changes that have occurred with respect to the project’s circumstances which would require major revisions of the FPASP EIR/EIS or subsequent environmental documents due to the involvement of new signifi cant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The FPASP, and specifically the Folsom Heights project area, is being developed out as planned for in the FPASP, with all significant environ mental effects being addressed through existing Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting programs already in place (Condition of Approval No 11). Finally, no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete , shows that the project will have significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, significant effects previously examined will be more severe than shown in the previous EIR, or that mitigation measures considered infeasible are now feasible or alternative mitigation measures have been identified to r educe significant effects shown in the previous EIR.
As stated above, the most recent environmental document prepared for amendments to the FPASP was approved in 2024, which would have identified such new information as would be critical to ensure appropriate CEQA review of the project.
The City has determined that the proposed project is consistent with the F olsom Plan Area Specific Plan and that it would not result in any of the circumstances listed in CEQA Guidelines §15162. Because the proposed project is subject to a statutory exemption , rather than a categorical exemption, the typical exceptions to CEQA exemptions do not apply. Therefore, the Veranda at Folsom Heights project qualifies for the special situation exemption of CEQA Guidelines § 15182 – Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Move to recommend that the City Council confirm staff’s determination that the Veranda at Folsom Heights project is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines § 15182 – Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan, and approve a Small-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Permit and Design Review for the Veranda at Folsom Heights project, based on the findings (Findings A -AA) and subject to the conditions of approval (Conditions 1-64) attached to this report.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
The Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan (FPASP), approved in 2011, is a development plan for over 3,500 acres of previously undeveloped land located south of Highway 50, north of White Rock Road, east of Prairie City Road, and adjacent to the Sacramento County/El Dorado County line in the southeastern portion of the City.
The FPASP includes a mix of residential, commercial, employment and public uses, complemented by recreational amenities including a significant system of parks and open space, all within proximity to one another and interconnected by a network of “complete streets”, trails and bikeways. The Specific Plan is consistent with the SACOG Blueprint Principles and the requirements of SB 375 (Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act).
On June 28, 2016, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment for a 189.7-acre site located in the northeast corner of the Folsom Plan Area, known as the Folsom Heights project. The approved General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan Amendment resulted in an increase in the amount of land designated for single-family development, a decrease in the amount of land designated for multi -family development, a reduction in the amount of land designated for commercial development, and an increase in the amount of open space within the project area.
On July 11, 2017, the City Council subsequently approved a Large-Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Small -Lot Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map, Project Design Guidelines, and an Inclusionary Housing Plan for the development of a 530-unit residential and commercial development (Folsom Heights Subdivision) on the 189.7-acre site located in the northeast corner of the Folsom Plan Area. The City Council also approved an Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Tier 1 Development Agreement between the City of Folsom and Folsom Heights, LLC, on July 25, 2017. The Tentative Subdivision Maps received two extension approvals, with the Large-Lot Vesting Map being recorded in 2021 and the Small-Lot Final Map in the process of being finalized as of the time of this report.
The Folsom Heights project included approval of 530 residential units at varying densities, including an allocation of 123 multifamily residential units to two of the Large Lots .
However, these lots were not included in the Small-Lot Map. Thus, they are the subject of this subsequent entitlement request.

Project Narrative
Elliott Homes is requesting a Tentative Map for a 125-unit detached townhome project at Folsom Heights. The project is situated along Folsom Heights’ western boundary at the intersection of Empire Ranch Road and Summit Street. The project is located on two existing large lot parcels, separated by Summit Street. The southern parcel, Lot A, includes 53 units, and the northern parcel, Lot B, includes 72 units. Both sites are oriented along a central promenade, a street lined by parallel parking and street trees, that extends the length of both parcel from north to south and is accessed from a traffic circle on Summit Street. Secondary access to each site is provided along Iron Horse Drive. The townhomes are alley-loaded and front onto paseos, which form an interconnected pedestrian network. Both sites also include a pocket park.
The project is consistent with the Folsom Heights Tentative Map, the General Plan, the Folsom Plan Area Specific Plan, and all other applicable development standards and design guidelines. This includes achieving its maximum entitled density on a steeply sloped site by “stepping” individual paseos down the hillside.
The community will benefit from the project’s:
1. Use of detached townhomes, a missing middle typology, that will increase the supply of for sale affordable housing;
2. Pedestrian-oriented design;
3. Provision of park space; and
4. Proximity to Folsom Height’s future mixed-use site, located immediately north of Lot B.
The project has been designed to avoid and/or mitigate any negative effects on the community.
09/23/2025 Item No.4.
Elliott Homes is requesting a Planned Development (PD) permit to construct Veranda at Folsom Heights, a 125-unit small lot detached single family residential/patio home community. The entitlement, operating in tandem with the project’s Tentative Subdivision Map, will enable the City to approve the project’s innovative housing typology and provide the basis for the City to approve the project’s Design Review entitlement in the future. Outstanding aspects of the project include the following:
• Veranda at Folsom Heights emulates a previous project constructed in Folsom, Veranda at Empire Ranch, located at the intersection of East Natoma Street and Golf Links Drive. The earlier project marked Elliott’s first foray into the product type. We have since refined the product through three completed projects and two projects that are currently under construction.
Veranda at Empire Ranch and all subsequent projects have been well-received by the community and helped the respective jurisdictions achieve their housing goals. The PD permit’s requested development standard deviations reflect how we constructed the project at Empire Ranch and elsewhere.
• The project will play an important role in Folsom achieving its goal of providing housing choice in the Folsom Plan Area. Elliott designs, constructs, and prices the product to provide an appealing option for first time homebuyers and others who are seeking more affordable/attainable housing.
• The project features a pedestrian-oriented design that will provide future residents with an alternative to driving, thereby contributing to the community’s health. The project features a compact grid system that provides efficient access and pedestrian connectivity to all areas of the project. The separation of paseos from streets and alleys will improve safety by reducing pedestrian-vehicular conflicts. By virtue of the project’s central location within Folsom Heights, residents will also be within walking distance of Folsom Heights’ future mixed-use site, located immediately to the north, and future school and park sites, located to the south along the west side of Empire Ranch Road.
• As a small lot residential product that provides limited private outdoor space, the project incorporates an interconnected network of shared outdoor spaces in the form of paseos and pocket parks. These spaces will incorporate abundant landscaping and trees and provide significant shade coverage, enabling residents to recreate throughout the year.

Staff Report
1 MEETING DATE:
9/23/2025
AGENDA SECTION:
New Business
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11463 – A Resolution Approving General Fund Cost Saving Measures for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and Beyond
FROM: City Manager's Office
RECOMMENDATION / CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 11463 – A Resolution Approving General Fund Cost Saving Measures for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and Beyond.
BACKGROUND / ISSUE
On Tuesday, May 27, 2025, the Folsom City Council held a budget workshop at the Folsom Public Library. The meeting was well attended with members of the public present. Staff presented the initial draft of the FY 2025/2026 budget in a new format providing a comprehensive line-item format that offers more transparency and detail. The City Council and members of the public had the opportunity to provide input and ask questions about the proposed budget and the new budget cycle/process.
On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing on the FY 2025/2026 budget. Staff presented information to the City Council that included historical revenue and expenditure trends. The proposed FY 2025-2026 General Fund budget presented that evening anticipated revenues of $114,442,459 and Transfers In of $5,546,145 for a grand total in revenues of $119,988,604. The projected expenditures totaled $121,877,171 with Transfers Out of $1,601,982 for a grand total for expenses of $123,479,153. The budget intended to use $3,490,549 of unassigned General Fund Balance to maintain current services.
On Tuesday, June 24, 2025 the City Council reviewed additional budget modifications that lowered the General Fund deficit from $3,490,549 to approximately $3,000,000. In adopting
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
2 the FY 2025/26 budget, the City Council recognized that staff would continue pursuing cost- saving opportunities to bring forward to both the Council and the public in the September/October 2025 timeline (See June 24, 2025 Staff Report as Attachment 2).
Fiscal Responsibility:
Managing the City’s finances is much like managing a household budget. When a household experiences a decline in income—whether due to a job change, unexpected expenses, or economic conditions—it must make difficult but necessary decisions to reduce spending.
Continuing to spend more than it earns is unsustainable and ultimately leads to long-term financial instability.
In the same way, a city cannot rely on one-time reserves or deferred costs to cover recurring expenses. When revenues flatten or decline, but operational costs continue to rise, the City must take deliberate action to align spending with available resources. Just as a household must prioritize essential expenses, delay discretionary purchases, and adjust its lifestyle to avoid debt, the City must make strategic choices to ensure it lives within its means. This approach is essential to preserving core services, maintaining fiscal health, and ensuring long-term sustainability. This approach is also a mandate from the community with the failure of the proposed Measure G sales tax measure in November 2024.
Additionally, these proposed cost saving measures align with the Government Finance Officers Association’s nationally recognized best practices by providing a structurally balanced plan, linking financial decisions to strategic priorities, and ensuring transparency and accountability to the community.
City Departments Cost Reductions:
As part of the proposed budget process staff recommended that additional budget reviews take place in September/October 2025 and February/March 2026 so that budget reductions for FY 2025/2026 could be considered. This report and proposed cost reductions are the first of a two-phase approach to cost savings and corresponding service reductions as follows:
Phase One Cost Savings (September 23, 2025). This report represents the first phase of proposed cost savings by the City’s two largest departments (Police and Fire) which comprise 50% of the City’s budget. Phase One also includes consideration of the significant subsidy for the City’s Zoo Sanctuary, proposed changes to Information Technology Services, Legal Services, and Library Services.
Phase Two Cost Savings (October 14, 2025). The second phase of cost saving considerations involves the reorganization of City Services in Community Development, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Environmental Water Resources (Utilities). The subsequent City Council staff report for October 14, 2025 meeting will highlight organizational changes for each of the four departments,
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
3 including both staffing levels and special revenue funds to maximize cost savings to the General Fund.
Is the City Moving Too Quickly to Close the Budget Gap?
Some community members and staff have expressed concern that the City may be moving too quickly to balance its budget. However, maintaining an operating budget deficit over multiple years has negative impacts on organizational stability and employee morale.
As a service provider, the City relies on its employees to deliver essential programs and services to the community
In the past year, the City has lost several highly skilled employees to other jurisdictions with more stable financial conditions, and continued fiscal instability increases the risk of additional workforce loss
In addition, many aspects of the City’s quality of life infrastructure are aging and in need of repair or rehabilitation. Examples include trails, parks, playgrounds, sports fields, tennis and basketball courts, buildings (City Hall, Community Center, Police Station, Fire Stations, etc.). To maintain Folsom a desirable place to live, it is essential to begin setting aside resources for long-term infrastructure needs.
ANALYSIS
The Phase One General Fund cost savings proposed for City Council consideration and action are listed in the table below include staff reductions through elimination of vacant positions and strategic reduction of positions in the Fire Department, Police Department, Finance/IT Department, City Attorney’s office, and Library. There are a total of 20 eliminated positions (mostly vacant positions) across these departments for a total FY2025- 26 savings of $3,093,130 and FY2026-27 ongoing full-year savings of $3,772,392 (Attachment 1 Resolution 11463 Exhibit A).
Additional General Fund cost savings will be proposed at the October 14, 2025 City Council meeting in conjunction with the service reorganization, priorities, and use of special revenue funds for Community Development, Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Environmental Water Resources/Utilities Departments.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
4 Proposed Budget Reductions/General Fund Cost Savings Measures (Phase One):
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
5 This section includes additional information regarding cost savings from the Fire Department, plan for Information Technology Services, and presents information about the annual cost/General Fund subsidy for the Zoo Sanctuary, along with consideration of potential alternative solutions moving forward.
Fire Apparatus Reassignment Plan:
To address rising overtime expenditures while maintaining essential fire suppression and EMS coverage throughout the City of Folsom, the Fire Department will implement a strategic reassignment of apparatus. This realignment allows the Department to eliminate one engine company while ensuring all six fire stations remain open and operational. The plan prioritizes suppression coverage in Folsom’s highest-risk areas, maintains ALS transport citywide, and aligns with current fiscal constraints.
City Fire Department Staffing Plan:
Station 34: Truck 34 (4 personnel)
Station 35: Engine 35 (3 personnel)
Battalion Chief
Station 36: Engine 36 (3 personnel)
Medic 36 (2 personnel)
Station 37: Engine 37 (3 personnel)
Medic 37 (2 personnel)
Station 38: Medic 38 (2 personnel)
Station 39: Engine 39 (3 personnel)
This realignment reduces constant staffing requirements by eliminating one engine company, resulting in decreased overtime costs. At the same time, all six fire stations will remain open, maintaining a citywide presence and response capability.
The placement of Engine 38 at Station 35 preserves suppression capability in the city’s highest fire risk area, which includes the Historic District and Central Business District.
Station 34, located south of Highway 50, is the lowest fire risk zone in the city, with 100% of residential and commercial properties protected by automatic fire sprinklers. Relocating Truck 35 and AR35 to Station 34 ensures that specialty support is maintained in a zone with lower suppression demand.
The eventual reassignment of Medic 35 to Station 38 ensures ALS transport capability across the city, balancing EMS response needs despite a reduction in engine staffing. Placement of
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
6 Medic 36 back in service will restore additional ALS transport capacity once staffing is available following the FTO process.
Overall, this plan reduces constant staffing requirements by eliminating one engine company, which directly decreases overtime costs, while keeping all six fire stations open and preserving a citywide response capability and presence.
Response times may be impacted during periods of high call volume or simultaneous incidents within the same district. The Department will monitor these effects closely and make adjustments if significant service impacts are identified. In addition, updates to the Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system at the Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) will be required to reflect the new apparatus assignments. The Fire Department will coordinate with SRFECC staff to ensure accurate implementation and minimize disruptions.
This apparatus reassignment plan represents a balanced strategy to reduce overtime costs while sustaining core emergency services. By prioritizing high-risk areas, maintaining ALS transport, and optimizing resources, the Department will continue to provide effective service delivery under current fiscal constraints.
Information Technology Service Plan:
With the elimination of the IT Manager and the Process Improvement Specialist positions the City will need to utilize other resources to provide some IT services to the various City departments. The City intends to utilize contract IT services to fill any service gaps created by those lost positions. The annual salary and benefit costs for those two positions was $482,461. Staff intends to present a comprehensive IT management contract to the City Council at a later date that produces costs savings.
Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary:
The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary was established in 1963 to provide a safe haven for a bear cub named Smokey, who was orphaned and burned in a forest fire. At that time, the University of California at Davis contacted Folsom Park Superintendent Gordon Brong, seeking a safe home for Smokey. Gordon had already been keeping several deer and a coyote in an area around the park’s office, and visitors would often come to see the animals.
Gordon persuaded the City to provide space, and local service clubs built an enclosure that would allow Smokey to join the other animals. From that time forward, the Folsom Zoo has been a safe haven for many rescued animals.
In 2002, the zoo name was changed to Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary and a mission statement was developed. The new name best described the goal of providing care for animals that are not able to be released back into the wild.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
7 The Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary is beloved by many community members and visitors.
Local non-profits have donated thousands of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to make the Sanctuary what it is today.
Although the Sanctuary is very popular with over 100,000 visitors annually the operations of the Sanctuary are heavily subsidized by the City’s General Fund. The current budget projects that the City will spend $2,541,399 to operate the Sanctuary in FY 2025/2026. With projected revenues of $736,500, the Sanctuary will require a General Fund subsidy of $1,804,899 to support its operations.
Due to the significant budgetary challenges facing the City of Folsom, justifying the significant General Fund subsidy is becoming more and more difficult. The City should actively explore ways to hand the facility to the Friends of the Folsom Zoo Sanctuary or another interested non-profit. In 1997 the City of Sacramento was in a similar situation and operational control of the zoo was transferred to the Sacramento Zoological Society. The City of Sacramento still owns the land, but the Society is responsible for the daily operations, animal care and welfare, education and outreach, fundraising, and facility improvements.
Staff recommends identifying a partner to take over operational control of the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary.
Service Reorganization for Phase Two Budget Reductions:
In addition to reviewing the budget circumstances of the City, staff has identified ways it can operate more efficiently. The department directors of the Community Development Department, Parks and Recreation Department, Public Works Department and Environmental & Water Resources Department have worked together to develop a comprehensive reorganization plan to improve how the City delivers a variety of its services.
More details for this plan will be shared at the October 14, 2025 City Council meeting. A general service matrix (existing and proposed) for each of the affected departments can be found in Attachment 3.
CONCLUSION:
The City is facing a $3.0 million operational deficit for FY 2025/2026. The proposed cost saving recommendations in Phase One total $3.1 million. Additional cost saving recommendations for Phase Two will be presented on October 14, 2025. Although this may appear to fill the current budget gap the City is still facing challenging budget circumstances.
The City’s quality of life infrastructure like trails, parks, playgrounds, sports fields, tennis courts, and buildings need tens of millions of dollars to fund necessary capital improvements.
Also, labor costs and other inflationary pressures continue to increase the cost of providing the most basic City services.

FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMO
1 TO: Bryan Whitemyer, City Manager
FROM: Ken Cusano, Fire Chief
DATE: September 1, 2025
SUBJECT: Apparatus Reassignment Plan
To address rising overtime expenditures while maintaining essential fire suppression and EMS coverage throughout the City of Folsom, the Fire Department will implement a strategic reassignment of apparatus. This realignment allows the Department to eliminate one engine company while ensuring all six fire stations remain open and operational. The plan prioritizes suppression coverage in Folsom’s highest-risk areas, maintains ALS transport citywide, and aligns with current fiscal constraints.
Effective October 1, 2025 – Apparatus Movements
• Truck 35 (TR35): Relocate from Station 35 to Station 34 • Air Utility 35 (AR35): Relocate from Station 35 to Station 34 • Engine 38 (E38): Relocate from Station 38 to Station 35
Exception:
• Medic 36 (M36): Placement back in service will be delayed until new recruits complete and clear their FTO evaluation period (anticipated week of October 20, 2025).
• Medic 35 (M35): Relocation from Station 35 to Station 38 will also be delayed until new recruits complete and clear their FTO evaluation period (anticipated week of October 20, 2025).
Resolution No. 11463

06/24/2025 Item No.11.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
2 To provide additional time for the City Council and the public to review the proposed budget City staff asked that the City Council continue the public hearing on the budget until Tuesday, June 24, 2025. This time has allowed staff to further review the budget as well as receive feedback from the public and City Council. The budget staff report from the June 10, 2025 City Council meeting has been included in Attachment 2.
As part of the proposed budget process staff recommended that additional budget reviews take place in September/October 2025 and February/March 2026 so that budget reductions for FY 2026/2027 could be developed. Feedback received over the last couple weeks asked if some cuts could be made sooner to try to limit the use of General Fund Reserve in FY 2025/2026. Recognizing the value of this feedback, City staff reassessed the budget to see if General Fund reductions could be made now so that the deficit could be reduced.
Proposed Budget Reductions:
Although there is much more work to do over the coming months staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a FY 2025/2026 Preliminary Budget that includes the following reductions.
1) Eliminate the Park Attendant position at Cummings Family Skate and Bike Park. This will produce on-going staff cost savings of approximately $40,000 per year. If approved, the savings anticipated for FY 2025/2026 are $25,000. Currently, the lighting system at the park is turned on and off manually. The lighting system needs to be upgraded so it can be set on a timer system that will turn the lights on and off automatically. The cost to convert to this system is about $15,000.
GF Cost Reduction: $25,000
2) Eliminate the proposed $500,000 annual contribution to the City’s Public Entity Investment Trust for Retiree Health Obligations (Trust held outside City funds). The savings to the General Fund (Fund 010) of eliminating the FY 2025-26 contribution is $426,647. The Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds contribute the remaining $73,353.
GF Cost Reduction: $426,647
Proposed General Fund Cost Reduction Total: $451,647
The proposed modified preliminary FY 2025-2026 General Fund budget looks as follows:
No changes are being made to the projected revenue figure of $114,442,459 and Transfers In of $5,546,145 for a grand total in revenues of $119,988,604. However, the projected expenditures total is now being reduced by $451,647 from $121,877,171 to $121,425,524. These changes lower the grand total for General
06/24/2025 Item No.11.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
3 Fund expenses from $123,479,153 to $123,027,506. The use of the unassigned General Fund balance will be reduced by $451,647 from $3,490,549 to $3,038,902.
Additional Staff Actions Going Forward:
1) Explore bringing back the use of prison labor to maintain open space and trail areas 2) Assess City owned properties to see what properties could be sold or deeded to non- profits or community organizations that could maintain the property better than the City while still maintaining the property as a community asset. 3) Have the Housing Fund reimburse the General Fund for the sale of the former City property located on Persifer Street. Currently, Habitat for Humanity is building 10 housing units on that property. It is anticipated that this could bring $635,000 to General Fund. Staff would recommend that these one-time funds be used for one- time renewal and replacement expenditures.
POLICY / RULE
Folsom Municipal Code, Section 3.02.030, Budget
“An Annual Budget shall be prepared by the City Manager, with the assistance of the Finance Director. . . . (G) The City Council shall adopt the annual budget by Resolution by fund and program by affirmative vote of at least three members, on or before the last working day of the last month of the current fiscal year. If the City Council fails to adopt the budget by the last working day of the current fiscal year, the budget as presented by the City Manager shall be deemed adopted.”
ANALYSIS
Budget Structure and Overview:
The Operating Budget for the City of Folsom is a complex document that manages the revenues and expenditure of over 150 separate Fund Accounts. A summary of these accounts is found in Attachment 2. Many of these fund accounts have specific rules and requirements that dictate how these funds can be used.
For example, funds collected from the water bills that are paid for by residents each month can only be used to cover the costs associated with maintaining and operating the water system.
These funds cannot be used to cover public safety or any other non-water related expenses.
The four largest and most familiar Fund Accounts in the budget are 1) General Fund; 2) Solid Waste Fund, 3) Sewer Fund; and 4) Water Fund.
1) General Fund (Fund 010) – This fund accounts for all general revenues of the City not specifically levied or collected for other City funds and the related expenditures. The
06/24/2025 Item No.11.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
4 General Fund accounts for all financial resources of a governmental unit which are not accounted for in other funds.
2) Solid Waste (Fund 540) – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses of the City’s solid waste operations.
3) Sewer Fund (Fund 530) – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses of the City’s sewer operations.
4) Water Fund (Fund 520) – This fund accounts for the revenues and expenses of the City’s water operations.
All City Funds Budget Analysis:
The City Manager’s Fiscal Year 2025-26 Proposed Preliminary Budget, as presented on June 10, totaled $266,480,640 in proposed expenditures. Recommended reductions to the General Fund discussed above and the City Council’s June 10 direction to restore funding to Natoma Station L&L District, are included in the updated totals in the chart below, for a total of $266,070,437 in proposed expenditures, and $7,508,127 in transfers. The Budget Summary by Fund in the online budget document will be updated to reflect the approved totals after City Council adoption.
Below is a breakdown by Fund category
The City Manager’s proposed Fiscal Year 2025-26 Preliminary Budget also includes 513.5 full and permanent part-time positions across all funds. This proposed budget provides for 8 new positions all funded by Enterprise Funds. The added positions are listed below along with the department.

Recommended Budget Approval Process
- May 27, 2025 – City Council held public workshop on the budget at the Folsom Library.
- June 10, 2025 – City Council held budget public hearing and continued the public hearing to the June 24, 2025, City Council meeting allowing for more public dialogue.
- June 24, 2025 – City Council holds budget public hearing, receives public input and approves the FY 2025-2026 Preliminary Budget.
- July – September 2025 – City departments review their budgets and develop cost cutting proposals and that will be reviewed at the Review of the Final Budget in September/October 2025.
- FY 2025-2026 Review of Final Budget - September/October 2025:
o At a City Council meeting in either September or October City staff will have another budget review with the City Council that will allow additional public input from the community. This budget review will allow the City to work with the actual ending fund balance numbers for FY 2024-2025. Possible FY 2026-2027 General Fund budget reductions discussions will take place.
- FY 2025-2026 Mid-Year Budget Review – February/March 2026:
o At a City Council meeting in either February or March City staff will conduct a Mid-Year Budget review with the City Council. Any adjustments needed for the current year will be approved by the City Council at that time. Staff will be seeking direction from the Council as to what cuts they would consider including in the FY 2026-2027 budget.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Folsom cannot continue to provide the General Fund services it presently provides to the community. With the recommended budget reductions there is a projected $3.0 million General Fund deficit for FY 2025-2026. To live within its means the City will need to reduce its expenditures which translates into reductions in services.
06/24/2025 Item No.11.
09/23/2025 Item No.5.
6 Staff proposes using General Fund Reserves to fund the FY 2025-2026 budget but aggressively pursue a strategy to reduce costs and services in preparation for the FY 2026- 2027 budget period that begins on July 1, 2026.
